It's possible that life emerging is so unlikely that it has never happened before anywhere even if it could happen again. We do not have the data to establish how likely and in fact we don't even have enough data to fill in all the gaps of how life on earth emerged in the first place. Our gut feelings are likely heavily influenced by science fiction or other priors and can't be trusted for knowledge but we are as a species very good at deluding ourselves into thinking we know things that we don't.
I agree with the original tweet, because I interpret it as a message to parents pushing their kids. There are a lot of parents these days that are hyper-obsessed with their child's success and that can easily lead to a loss of childhood. I've seen it happen, I'm sure you have too.

This is not about the kids who love to learn things that end up being useful skills. By all means, let them learn. But don't stop the kids who like to run around in the woods or fingerprint or pop wheelies on their bike for the sake of their future career prospects.
ICD-10 is only one of several code systems (terminologies) used in HIPAA mandated transactions. The actual billable procedures for outpatient care are typically coded using CPT / HCPCS. The ICD codes are usually supplementary, to indicate a patient's condition as part of establishing medical necessity. The industry will move to the new ICD-11 version in a few years.

I thought it followed book 1 pretty closely.

As book-movie translation go. I thought the choices they made in 3-Body were better than the tradeoffs in Dune 2.

But I liked Dune 2 as a movie, but leaving out the Spacing Guild, and how the Water of Life can poison Sand Worms, and they change to the Atomics. It changed entire dynamic on the stand off with Emperor. And leaving out Alia.

The only problem with 3-Body, is for season 1, they did stuff too much into it from Book 2, not that it was bad to do it, but maybe needed 1-2 more episodes, instead if felt rushed.

> If are walking into your first job and you dont have an internship or some open source on your resume I know that you got your degree for the money

I don't to be "that guy", but what's wrong with doing things "for the money"? I code for fun more than average, but I work for corporations, unambiguously, for the money. If they stopped paying me, I'd stop showing up. There are lots of days (most days?) that I would much rather be working on my own projects than trying to make multi[m|b]illionaires even more millions, but I also like having a paycheck so I work at a company for the money.

I think treating work like anything other than a business transaction is a great way to get burnt out, which is why I really don't put up with companies saying "we're more than a job, we're family here!", because that's not true. I used to believe that stuff, longer than I should, but fundamentally a business is a for-profit enterprise, the moment that they think it'll be more profitable to not pay you then they will stop paying you. A "family" doesn't require me to constantly prove my worth to them. I don't think I'm going to have a Zoom meeting with my mom talking about how the market has been bad and my performance is down from last quarter and they have to drop me as a son.

Nearly all employment in the US is "at will", and that goes both ways.

ETA:

I guess what I'm getting at is that I don't really like the sort of culty thing that software engineer do, where you have to treat "coding" as something deeper than "a job". I have met plenty of engineers that I think are very good, but after they sign off for the day they don't even touch the computer.

I do code all the time, but I don't really begrudge people who do it transactionally, and it's not something we demand from most other professions. Do you really care if your mechanic fixes up cars in their free time? Are you going to be upset if your chef eats mostly Hamburger Helper at home? Do you think a carpenter is untalented just because they have Ikea furniture at home?

You're free to think all those things, but I don't. It's easy to forget that coding is still work, and a lot of people don't really want to work if they're not getting something out of it, and I don't blame them.
I have a 9 and a 13 yr old. Neither has TikTok. 9 yr old doesn’t have a phone. 13 yr old has one but I’m not approving TikTok on it. I’ve had no protests around it. Most of the 9 yr olds friends don’t have phones either. Same with the 13 yrs old - most of her friends don’t have TikTok access. In general, social media messes with a kids mind. I’d rather have my kids not be friends with folks too addicted to social media.
The problem is not TikTok, is social media aimed at children in general. Singling out TikTok is just China bashing. Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, Discord, all of them can be equally harmful or worse. Banning TikTok only is just the US government protecting Meta and Google businesses.

> The density in the observed universe is used to extrapolate the number of galaxies in the non-observed universe.

As has already been pointed out, our best current model of our universe is that it is spatially infinite. That means an infinite number of galaxies.

The finite galaxy numbers that astronomers give are for the observable universe.

> The size and shape of the observable universe also changes.

Not the way you are describing, no. The observable universe does increase in size as time goes on, because there is more time for light to travel so the light we see can come from objects further distant. Its shape, however, does not change.

A good reference is Davis & Lineweaver's 2003 paper:

> A moving observer, say someone doing 30% of lightspeed, will see further in one direction than another.

I don't know where you're getting this from. What part of the universe you can observe from a given point does not depend on your state of motion.

> Accelerate quickly enough and the "dark" side of your custom observable universe might catch up with you, causing all sorts of havoc.

This is nonsense. The Unruh effect is (a) nothing like what you are describing, and (b) irrelevant to this discussion anyway, since the Unruh effect only applies to objects which have nonzero proper acceleration, which is not the case for any galaxies, stars, or planets in the universe.

The splitting of the main character (who was a humble middle aged Chinese scientist) into 4 pointlessly racially diverse beautiful young people who somehow represent the apex of the scientific community (and a snack company for some reason).

The total butchering of interesting concepts, for example the usage of the sun as an amplifier which, while based on some hand-wavey fictional science, was quite fleshed out in the book, turned into an utterly ridiculous scene where characters literally wrote out an equation on a blackboard that amounted to "a + b = c" (I'm not exaggerating) and you could practically see the mathematical symbols floating around their heads like that Zach Galifianakis meme.

But most of all it is the shit dialog. I don't remember the books trying to force sciency sounding words into every fucking line of dialogue. This show is determined to make very stupid people think "wow this is smart".

Assuming you have the thinnest tips, solder, and solder braid you can find (they shold be comparable to the pad sizes you are soldering, for this kind of work), honestly it's probably a skill issue. There's a "feel" for how much solder the pad needs, and it's a bit less than the most it can take, as it'll get displaced outwards when the IC is applied.
Not the universe we observe, no. There is no valid model in GR that has this property and matches our observations of the universe as a whole. Models with a finite amount of matter surrounded by an infinite region of vacuum exist in GR, but they are not homogeneous and isotropic on large scales, while our observations indicate that our universe is.
The change is too slow for anyone to be personally affected by it. Besides, the universe as such is devoid of any meaning; meaning is only something that we create internally. The fact that we dread voids and emptiness is also a result of evolutionary needs, there is no “dread” outside of us.

Agreements of what? I could have sworn the first sale doctrine means that I own the book, as there are for sure no EULAs that I agree to when purchasing nor opening to page 1 of a book. Copyright, for sure, but not an agreement that could be violated

what's your timeline on libraries? i guess you're counting ancient, private collections. public libraries happened well after copyright was established and just had to go to court and make their case. first sale doctrine indeed saved the day.

the more interesting case for me is that xerox was allowed to exist, and libraries fought successfully to allow their patrons to use xerox machines within the library (1973 Williams & Wilkins Co. v United States). this freedom may not have been established had it been any other circumstance than a medical journal suing the medical doctors xerox'ing the papers for their own research. the public attitude was "bro, lives are on the line here, let the doctors make copies" and we got the four factors of fair use outlined in the 1976 Copyright Act

The footnote is originally referenced here:

Figure 6 represents the string “gggijgziifiiffif”, which by pure
coincidence happens to accurately represent the authors’ verbal reaction
upon learning that “unquoted strings” were a feature intentionally
included in the Perl language.⁵

So, the hint is that this has to do with the "unquoted strings" feature (aka "bare words"[1]).

See the sibling comment about the actual parse — "at" and "tmp" are seen as strings.

The strings get coerced into numbers due to being used with the numeric "/" operator (that's normal Perl behavor).
Since the strings can't be parsed as numbers, they become "0".
So, you get division by 0.

This line of reasoning seems more or less equivalent to "movie piracy will exist one way or another, therefore I should be allowed to launch a commercial Netflix competitor which streams movies without paying the studios". Just because it's possible to appropriate content doesn't mean we should just give up and put it in the public domain, that's obviously not sustainable.

Here's an article about Bibi's campaign targeting Muslim voters: https://www.ynet.co.il/news/election2022/article/bj1108idbi

This article shows the number of votes in Nazareth to the Likud:
https://www.zman.co.il/352027/popup/

In 2021 they got 4%. Notice that this is despite Bibi using slogans like "Bibi is good for the Jews" or using rhetoric to his base of "Arabs are rushing to vote". So it's amazing he got this much.

Here you can see wider official distribution from a government source:
https://www.idi.org.il/articles/46754

You will see that the center right party got most of the votes. All of them are Zionist parties. Also notice that all Arab parties (which get most of the votes) are pro-Israel. They believe in a two state solution but aren't anti-Zionist.

The previous government also included an Arab party as part of the coalition government which was pretty fantastic. Unfortunately, the coalition collapsed due to dirty politics as it was hanging by a thread.

The Arab population in Jaffa is roughly 33%. A lot of that is due to the growth of the city.

> With all that said, it is a known tactic of colonizers to assimilate the colonized population. The I very much doubt that many of the Arab Muslim or Arab Christian population in Israel still identifies as Palestinian. Decades of assimilation does that.

Many don't identify as Palestinian I don't know how many though. Notice that Israel has many Muslim minorities that are decidedly not Palestinian e.g. the Druze and Bedouin populations both of which typically serve in the army as well (quite a few were murdered and even kidnapped in Oct 7th).

I very much like Yosef Hadad https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoseph_Haddad

He's an Arab Israeli who served in the Israeli Army. He tries to bring Jews and Arabs together as a shared destiny which is fantastic. He came to speak at Colombia but was physically attacked.

> I also don't get how running ... would result in a list of Tasks

That's the contract of 'map' in any FP. Turn a container of A into a container of B, and do nothing else (in this case - no telling tasks to start executing).

> Appending the exclamation mark will CPS transform that Task value ... is problematic as you need to also CPS transform the lambda

You may be overthinking it. I believe (!) is a syntax-only transformation which happens very early in the compiler pipeline. And I don't think you need to invoke CPS here:

CPS From [https://matt.might.net/articles/cps-conversion/]
The M function only has to watch for lambda terms. When it sees a lambda term, it adds a fresh continuation parameter, $k, and then transforms the body of the lambda term into continuation passing style, asking it to invoke $k on the result. Variables are unchanged

In Roc (and Haskell, Scala, Idris, ...) you don't need to generate a fresh $k under the hood, because it's already right there in the surface language (in this case, foo):

foo = mytask! "abc"

is already equivalent to:

mytask "abc" (\foo -> ... )

> See for example CPS-async in Scala:

Why didn't you mention Scala earlier :D. This is the same trick as Scala for-comprehensions. Here's an example in that repo: https://github.com/rssh/dotty-cps-async/blob/36f2e3b61542b39...

> Also every higher order function would need to be there in two variants.

Literally every HOF? Nah, but you're right that there is duplication - and there needs to be, since there is a distinction between:

convert a *list of filenames* (input) into a *list of Tasks* (output) which will read those filenames

convert a *list of filenames* into Tasks which will read those filenames, and return their *contents* (output)

If you have List and Task modules, then "do this List of Tasks" obviously has to live in List's source code or Task's source code. It's an N*M implementations problem, but fuck it. Computers do Lists of Tasks so it's worth implementing.

Haskell does a little better non the non-duplication front. By going down the typeclass/monad route, you can put the "do this List of Monads" in List.hs, and "Task is a Monad" in Task.hs, and you're all set. But it still makes a distinction between 'map the list' and 'map the list and return the results of running the monads inside it'. It calls them map and mapM respectively, and also has mapM_ which carries out the effects but also ignores the output.

Anyway, back to my Java day job where the duplication issue in the stdlib is solved by just ... leaving out functionality. Let's see how we tackle the List of Tasks issue: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30025428/convert-from-li...
