I feel like it’s worse than meaningless. It distorts the coverage—newspapers start covering the election as if it were sport, and as the number goes up or down, it is treated as one side winning or losing, with substantive coverage falling by the wayside. Political actors act differently because of how they think it will make the number move, instead of what they think is best for the country. And it's so far out from the election that the number in its current state is not very meaningful—if anything it convinces people, incorrectly, that it is a "reality", when the only real measure is who will show up to vote on election day.
I've been working through a legacy starlark codebase recently. My take is that the language, and the bazel phased execution model, makes it very challenging to debug.

One example: as far as I can tell there is no way to get the Starlark call stack, this is a tool you really want for printf debugging (which is your main debugging tool with Starlark), I can't find it right now but I believe I saw them say that they don't want to give access to the call stack for performance reasons which I find odd - is the bottleneck in slow bazel builds close to be starlark execution time?

Also looking at a non trivial Starlark codebase that didn't mature well, I can't help but wonder if it wasn't better to not give engineers as much flexibility for their build configuration, yes, they'll have some copy pasted configuration snippets that could look tighter with a macro, but you are less likely 5 years later to look at a monster that is slow and hard to debug.

>The labor costs are not what's causing the price rises, the CEO have said so themselves on earnings calls.

Labor costs at every segment in the supply chain are a factor. Warehouse workers, truck drivers, produce producers, ect. The price of everything that McDonald's (and everyone else) uses is higher in part because of these greatly increased labor costs across the board.

I’ve seen J Krishnamurti say this so many times. I’ve seen so many neo-Advaita teachers say similar things. Yet, I believe I am barely at the edges of understanding what this means.

Going on a tangent, this is inspirational. I dont know how you can travel thru Afghanistan, and gain expertise on these subjects. And express it with this clarity of thought.

Coming back, simplifying architecture will never be easy. And if that is the case, how can communication of architectures be made simpler? Is it possible to build abstractions and represent them as such to make it simple for most to understand? Are there any tools have come closest to solving this? In a world full of complex micro services.. someone has to come and solve for this problem.
Can’t the bouba/kiki effect be replicated in tribes that do not interact with glass/metals? Or barely
The Occam's razor explanation for the worldwide distribution of mama / dada is very, very straightforward: (a) they are the easiest syllables, and therefore some of the first and most common syllables children babble, (b) parents are extremely willing to read meaning into the sounds their children make (what parent doesn't think their kid is a little genius?), and (c) parents are eeeever so slightly self-interested in what that meaning should be.
If you build a nice enough tank, the fish never know the difference.
How amusing. The images he uses for bouba/kiki are non-standard. In fact, they were sourced from an educational rescource I made over ten years ago. So nice to see them again, though in retrospect it would have been better had I used the standard set.
I concur! Once you know the rules, you can break them. I believe that jazz hits the most fundamental bits of music. Pure feel. And when someone “breaks” the rules but preserves the “feel”, it’s magic. It proves to me that there is something new, something beyond the predictable. It’s hard to describe. I love jazz for this very reason!

More than this everybody (and in particular; "the common non-tech person") needs a powerful and feature rich "USB Power Meter". This and knowledge of a couple of equations (eg. P=IV) goes a long way in understanding how good a charger/battery is, how to prevent overheating problems during charging, whether fastcharging can be used and at what capability or not etc.

It gets more comfortable over time, but I remember feeling that way for the first year or three. My wishlist now is for most of numpy to just be a really great einsum implementation, along with a few analogous operations for the rest of the map-reduces numpy accelerates.

I've been writing my own low-level numeric routines lately, so I'm not up-to-date on the latest news, but there have been a few ideas floating around over the last few years about naming your axes and defining operations in terms of those names [0,1,2,3]. That sort of thing looks promising to me, and one of those projects might be a better conceptual fit for you.

Your next Apple will come with worms inside.
Certainly, but the original quote was "It is quite hard to even tell a noun from a verb" (emph. added), and this is correct, you can't tell whether an identifier refers to a function or variable in Scheme by sight alone. This seems desirable if one wants first-class functions, and is very much an intentional choice for Scheme, but it can admittedly be more difficult to build up a mental model of new code if you have no idea what's a variable and what's a function (esp. amidst an already-difficult-to-grok sea of parentheses).

Notably, this isn't intrinsic to Lisps - Common Lisp uses a different syntax and namespace for function names and variables. My understanding is that Scheme et al's decision to merge the namespaces/syntax was not without controversy in the Lisp community (the Lisp-1 v Lisp-2 debate).[0]

One quote the author left off:

It is not quite that extreme, but having traveled with and without others I perceive that it is closer to the truth than not.
can't imagine the chaos unfolding in high school and college freshman English composition classes, where for the sake of grading ease, "fairness" and simplicity (and more than any of these, instructor complacency) students are encouraged and incentivizes to write in a very mechanical and formulaic style near perfectly emulated by the default behavior of ChatGPT and friends.

Training, rewarding (and thus selecting for opportunity in favor of) people who optimize for and pride themselves on mechanical precision and speed in their work is setting them up to be defeated by the actual machines they will be competing against in the market.
You save 15% but mcdonalds makes millions off all the data you consent to giving them by downloading the app. I also heard that, buried in the T&C of their mobile app, you basically consent to rescinding your ability to sue them?

Technically with Starlark nothing is stopping you from going mostly declarative with an option to add some imperative customization - see Bazel
Arguably python and c are much more similar than any of them compared to a lisp.

I would argue the important part are the blocks in the former two, which sort of gets lost in the homogeny of lisps. Whether a block is marked with curly braces or indents doesn’t matter much - they being dissimilar to a regular expression does. Of course well-formatted lisp code tries to indent as well, but still there is a lot of visual noise there making it harder to visually inspect the code, I would guess.

Of course familiarity with a given way is significantly more important. We pretty much learnt the non-intuitive writing of math, to Chinese people their writing system is the intuitive one, etc.

Yeah — a bunch of inspirations for this. Wouldn't be surprised if the designer was inspired by newly-released Emigre typefaces like Democratica.
I think that's a terrible choice. Its like saying "I don't like whitespace in webpage design. If they need whitespace, fill it with content - like maybe some text."

Whitespace gives readers subtle information about the structure of a function before they read any of it. Its a powerful tool. Dismissing or - worse - deleting whitespace wholesale sounds profoundly misguided to me.

Why make code harder to read? Where's the benefit to your approach? I can't see any.
I don't believe the LIGO experiment is utilizing entangled photons. This experiment is using a very different type of interferometer because they're trying to be sensitive to rotations, whereas LIGO's interferometer is for measuring changes in length. LIGO's biggest problem is how to minimize losses in their mirrors.

This is a great and powerful USB power meter which is highly recommended. Make sure that you read and keep the manual handy since there are so many functions (and heed the warnings listed there). There are other cheaper versions/clones of this on Aliexpress which may also be good.

Another great gadget (no USB-C though) is "PortaPow Premium USB + DC Power Monitor/Multimeter/DC Ammeter" which is a neat little device - https://lygte-info.dk/review/USBmeter%20Portapow%20UK.html Checkout the reviews on Amazon too for further details.
In my experience, the aspect that delineates an expert is that experts can fix things.

Gaining knowledge isn’t particularly difficult. But expertise comes from actually applying that knowledge in the real world. The real world is messy and chaotic.

It’s also multidisciplinary. Acquired knowledge tends to be limited to the topic at hand. We find topics we like and learn more about them. But the rough edges where disparate disciplines meet is where expertise grows.
I think the risk of a 35% drawdown is too big with this strategy. Even if 20%, it's still too big. Perhaps 15% would be about at the borderline of okay.

Definitely not a videogame. I wouldn't want the responsibility of allocating that quantity of energy and resources. I think ChatGPT and its brethren are fascinating, amazing, and useful, but your question makes me think probably nobody should have that compute power. Maybe it's hubris to think one could responsibly use it. (Now I feel uncool for failing to have fun with your question.)

See also a related comment in the overall thread saying "crates.io does not host compiled artifacts. If packages on crates.io differ from their Git repository it's because of a custom pre-build step of that particular package, so a deterministic compilation toolchain won't help here."

Prove me wrong! I'm open to it.

Or be that person who is too lazy to respond with an actual comment, downvotes, and probably assumes they are right.
starlark is easily embeddable, minimal, dependency-free language and python is none of those things
Worth also pointing out as Rate of Change around the Expert increases they become executionally non excellent, while still being called Experts.

I don't buy this at all. Too many differences, and at this resolution it is not that improbable for any font to have a doppelganger.

Instead of looking for which vector font that have been rasterised at this resolution, I would sooner look for the font in bitmap font collections like this:

I wouldn't be surprised though if the font was created 'from scratch'
No. There is a good github gist rant I can’t find anymore, but if we call every AST in the form of s-expressions lisp, then is anything lisp? A programming language has to have an associated evaluation strategy, otherwise it’s just data. What you wrote only makes sense to execute as C code, which sure you can write a compiler for in your given lisp as well (so can you write a C compiler taking C AST in any other language, so it’s not special at all).

I have been working on a few projects such as tools website, few blogs. all are monetized with Google Adsense.But not of them have made me a single dollar in the last 3 years.

For what it's worth, it's not just you. I had the same experience with this same machine. I used Logic and other DAWs for many years, and used to be super-productive with them while running a professional recording studio in NYC.

I just took freshman bio at UW as a 47 year old (with a master's and a job). They mentioned 3 people's names, Mendel, the guy with the sex chromosomes and fruit flies (see barely even covered the name) and hardy Weinberg's formulas. The whole class was stats, hypothesis testing, critical thinking and understanding and math with those formulas. We had to memorize about 30 total terms like gene, allele, heterozygous, etc. It was all observation, use a model hypothesize why the model does or doesn't fit.

I took it because when I learned honors bio in highschool in 91 it was all memorization of plant parts. This was way way better.
I don’t think terms and conditions ate powerful enough to prevent you from suing them.

In the article, the author found a mini-PC at a lower cost than the Pi, when accounting for all the accessories he would have needed.

LOL. This must be the reason the Chicago Manual of Style indicates hyphens here. And it must also be the reason an MIT Press copyeditor reviewed the whole manuscript very carefully. (Which then triggered some legalistic arguments from me citing chapter and verse of said stye manual.)
I actually learned to count on binary with my fingers at some point. So i can technically count to 32 on one hand and 1024 using both.

Guess it depends on how unruly the school is. It never seemed that disruptive for teachers to police from my perspective, but no one argued with it. It wasn’t the end of the world to lose your phone for an hour.

Triple down on referrals.

With 20 years of experience, you must know someone who knows someone who’s hiring. I recommend reaching out to everyone you’ve ever worked with with a message like:

“Hi $NAME! I saw you’re doing $THING on $SOCIAL_MEDIA. Whats the latest with you?”

Followed up with
“Oh thats cool! I’m looking for a new job doing $THING_YOU_DO, do you know anyone who’d need my help?”

From now on, make a point to wish all your past colleagues happy birthday every year forever. The best time to say hi is when you don’t need anything, 2nd best time is today.
This is completely socially constructed.
