> It seems like a waste of precious syntax to dedicate backticks to running shell commands.

Except from Bash (where backticks also have the same purpose as Ruby), I only remember seeing backticks in:

- Kotlin, for naming functions with phrases. The only use case that I remember for it was to creating more meaningful names for test functions. I don't think that it was so useful...
- Lisp dialects for quasiquotes, which is meaningless in Ruby
- Haskell, for making functions infix, and I can't see why would it be useful in Ruby (Ruby has it own way to make infix methods)
- JS, for creating templates. In Ruby we can use double quotes for that

> "thou shalt not parse the output of 'ls'"

Yes, but it was only an example of associating backticks and the language features. Of course it is not ideal, but it is an example that everyone will understand. You'll probably won't want to use it (even because you can do it with Dir.glob('*').map { |f| f.length }).

The same happened later in the text when I used a regex to find the Git branch.

Yeah, entropy definitely has been included in some forms of thought that are very correlated with complex systems. Schrodinger early on had a very interesting insight on life and entropy, people like Jeremy England are taking that view forward. Work by England, Crooks, etc. very beautifully relates entropy and the probability of any state x existing more than all others.

The information theory counterpart of entropy seems extremely relevant in describing coordination failures, some forms of stochasticness that aren't necessarily derived from lots of molecules with high degrees of freedoms interacting together. Also might hold high explanatory power in describing why trickle-down/bottom-up and top-down effects are slowly negated and diluted - although I believe this is fuzzy thinking and we need a better tool than just entropy to understand this.

Thanks!
Sure but what does "rewarding security", as the author suggests, in a way that is genuinely meaningful look like? The direct metric would a low number of security holes or bugs in the product but then you run straight into the problem that many holes/bugs are not found until much, much later, if ever. Perhaps code review failed to notice it, perhaps QA didn't cover that case, perhaps security scanning tools missed it, perhaps no black or white hat hacker ever bothered to try to break it, etc. Without a meaningful metric, what will likely happen is that people get rewarded for some kind of security theater.

The cool thing about Myst being built in HyperCard is you can just change the file type from APPL to STAK and open it up in HyperCard and mess around. All of the color, video and audio was built with XCMDs, but the buttons and logic around the puzzles is in HyperTalk.

I think what drove them away from being HyperCard-native for Riven was the difficulty in producing a Windows version
Sure, happy to.

R2R is built around RESTful API and is dockerized, so devs can get started on app development immediately.

The system was designed so that devs can typically scale data ingestion up to provider bottlenecks w/out extra work.

We have implemented user-level permissions and high level document management alongside the vector db, which most devs need to build in a production setting, along with the API and data ingestion scaling.

Lastly, we also log every search and RAG completion that flows through the system. This is really important to find weaknesses and tune the system over time. Most devs end up needing an observability solution for their RAG.

All of these connect to an open source developer dashboard that allows you to see uploaded files, test different configs, etc.

These basic features mean that devs can spend more time on iterating / customizing their application specific features like custom data ingestion, hybrid search and advanced RAG.
The first paragraph seems self-explanatory, and the templating language is simple enough that you can infer what it does when it runs. There's nothing about this that seems JS ecosystem specific, other than being implemented in a language that itself is implemented in javascript.

Amongst the reasons it is a scam are...

1) The premium to risk cost is astronomical compared to other forms of insurance.

3) 80% of the costs are paid to the agent as a commission
Well the USSR no longer exists, and so I think that specific question is a nonstarter. But generalizing? This gets back to what we were talking about earlier. Look at any country with power and you're going to find quite a lot of the world would think the world would be a better place without that country, in many cases the majority of the world.

And this will never change, because people hold many views that are simply mutually exclusive, and we always will. So we can continue to fight and kill each other until the point somebody finally goes all the way and we end up nuking ourselves out of existence, or we can learn to tolerate one another - even when we really don't like the other guy.

It just boggles my mind that they haven't done it already. More niche browsers had official sidebar tabs ages ago, and so have Firefox add-ons (but as mentioned it's become a huge pain to set this up properly). But beaten to the punch by Edge?

Someone must have made a decision 10-15 years ago that this was a "power user" feature and with their sliding market share it wasn't worth chasing that small segment of users. But then who are they trying to get as new users?

Or maybe they figured having add-ons like Tree Style Tabs was sufficient, and don't care that no normal person will be able to hide the top tab bar and set it up as a proper UI. But again, less customizable than Edge isn't a great look.

I Google for: carmel indiana median income

And found:

> Median household income in Carmel, IN is $132,859.

Is 132K USD middle class? I would say that is upper middle class.

Another search shows:

https://www.statista.com/statistics/205609/median-household-...

San Francisco and San Jose have roughly the same household median income. Those cities are definitely upper middle class by US standards as a whole.

Revolving accounts like credit cards using them each month and then paying them off is good for your score, fixed accounts like mortgages, car loans, etc, when you pay them down/off, the amount of credit you have drops with the balance, and once it is paid off the account is closed, so it actually drops your score. If you don't use a credit card (and increasingly for me, if I don't use a card enough) the issuer will likely close the account or reduce your available credit, which will reduce your credit score...

So yeah, it is a pain in the rear to maintain a very high credit score.

One thing to look out for is that he maintains different outlets for "political" and "non-political" content, and he and his fans have a history of pointing to the latter to suggest that he's just a regular opinionated/straight-talkin' tech guru who's being slandered by unhinged haters. The reason that he does this is that his politics are trash (see his political blog, https://conservativenerds.substack.com, about half of which appears to be collections of low-effort memes revolving around transphobia and COVID conspiracy nonsense). He used to mix tech and politics freely on his Twitter account until he apparently realized that was damaging his brand and made it private.

I'm just saying that being bored is a choice.

I could go even more extreme as an example and go back to the year I worked in a factory. I could have been bored out of my mind while sequencing and examining car parts, but instead I let myself daydream and think about things like crazy, and wrote down notes for various thoughts I had and things to do after work when I had a spare moment. In some ways I miss that, as my current job robs a good chunk of my mental energy for the day, also I was a lot more fit back then because I was constantly moving during my job (I don't miss the 90 degree heat with only an industrial fan to cool me off though, nor the fraction of the pay I was making then compared to now).

Sometimes people that are bored come across to me like my partner when she says there's nothing she feels like eating out, despite us living in an extremely restaurant rich area (we could go to almost 100 different restaurants and almost two dozen different types of regional cuisines in about a 15 minute drive). Although she's already decided she doesn't ever want to eat at like 20 of them, and there's still at least 50 she's never tried eating at once.

Meanwhile I once worked at a place that was far enough away from anything that you had to bring food from home for lunch, except on Fridays, when we'd pool money together to make a big delivery order of wings from a pub 15+ minutes away (lunch was a hard 30 minutes, and you'd get in big trouble if you were late, so no time to go get lunch). Same place as that factory, actually. Our current situation feels luxurious compared to that.

They are being overly picky about how they want to spend their time and attention, when there's so many options out there, even cheap or free activities (and even the non-cheap things can at least be saved towards, usually, barring some health reasons that prevent you from doing it in the first place...like it's probably a bad idea for me to go whitewater kayaking at my current fitness level, but if I really wanted to I could lose some weight and build up some muscle and maybe practice doing some kayaking on a calm pond first).

> Euclidean geometry and its fifth axiom are interesting, but unrelated to the Banach-Tarski paradox. I don't get the point you're trying to make.

Let me try to make the analogy more explicit.

The interesting thing about the fifth postulate is that we show we can't prove it from the other axioms because there are models where the first four hold and the fifth doesn't.

The interesting thing about the Banach-Tarski Theorem is that it shows we can't have all four desirable properties of a metric because there are constructions that show they they can't all hold at once.

It applies to all farms, but the proceeds are distributed as adjustment subsidies. Small farms will receive a disproportionate share of the subsidies, so they will likely be net beneficiaries.

At one point in my career, I've been a CTO of a startup company. I worked 12-14 hours a day, including weekends. My relationship with the CEO was bad, and he actively added "senior tech leads" to the company to compete with me.

Agree with the open source credit model, and so do many governments. Open Banking is gaining traction, in Canada a new law called the Consumer Driven Banking Act was just enacted that aligns with UK Open Banking model.
While the legislation does not explicitly call out open source credit model, the legislative frameworks are being setup that align with open source model. The government mandate is: "to establish a framework within which consumers, including small businesses, can direct that their data be shared among participating entities of their choice and to ensure that the sharing of data among participating entities is safe and secure."
While the mandate does not call out the implementation method, this could be conceived as open source credit. Minimally it will chop down some of the legal roadblocks the incumbents use to maintain market power.
I am surprised Matt doesn't mention Open Banking in the article, not sure if US lawmakers have been exploring this.
>> If governments were to parcel up markets and stop companies from crossing rather arbitrary dividing lines

>There is absolutely no need to do this until you become Microsoft's size and no government has or will.

I'm not so sure. Debates about how to break up the tech giants often revolve around which particular activities shouldn't be under the same roof because there is an intrinsic conflict of interest.

For instance, some of the accusations against Amazon appear to be pointing to a potential solution where Amazon would no longer be allowed to compete with Amazon Marketplace traders or with publishers. Not sure if Lina Khan has anything like this in mind or not.

We also had many debates about whether media companies should be allowed to be internet access providers or operate internet backbones. Net neutrality is supposed to stop any misuse of power, but net neutrality itself is under constant fire from deregulators.

The thing is, it doesn't make much sense to break up a specific company because doing both A and B causes a conflict of interest but then let other companies do A and B. That's why in my view any such breakup implies a need for defining boundaries between markets that cannot be crossed.
