Some people are actually undertaking this radically novel and risky procedure.

It appears that women say they can't find a suitable partner.

The reason for that, in turn, is that men are now in the minority in university, and young women (23 - 33) have higher yearly incomes on average than young men.

The few men whom women do find suitable are deluged with offers from women, and see no reason to commit to any one woman.

Huh, even YouTube's official embed UI didn't make the "Watch on YouTube" button obvious enough for me to click on it, so I always hit play, paused the video, and clicked the "YouTube" button in the bottom right instead. Now that I'm aware of it, I wish it was in these lite players, though at least this one doesn't completely bar you from an easy way to get the link.
True. Perhaps "styles" or "syntaxes" would be better. It's all that stuff we spend time building consensus around, but that doesn't affect program behavior. If our tools respected our style preferences on a user-by-user basis, we could drop the consensus requirement altogether.

You are right. I meant 'shoddy' in the sense that they just needed to look good on NTSC, so they were built with that in mind.

That doesn't just meant that smaller details weren't important, so they were left out. But also that if something in your set needs to fulfill a role in the story, you better make that thing big enough to be legible on an NTSC screen, instead of something more subtle.
But that is the problem with your point: it is unlikely that any locale will copy Japan, and increase housing supply in the manner you describe, hence why it isn’t a solution.

You should never use your work email for anything that isn't work-related.
Because when reading as a human you're typing `\n` anyway which fits in with the whole "Can't the computer just figure out what I'm seeing?" thing. While it's technically correct (the best kind of correct) that it's '\n' vs ';', in practice it's really ';' vs ';\n'. I can only speak to my personal experience but seeing two expression on one line is so rare that I can't even think of an example of the last time I saw it.

> for document based stores, you still have to have migrations, but they are just implemented in code

The problem with that - in my experience - is that migrating the structure for thousands (if not millions) of documents is way slower than running a DDL command (as it means reading each document, parsing it, modifying it and writing it back). Many DDL commands are just metadata update to the system catalogs so they are quite fast (e.g. adding a new column with a default value). With documents you wind up with millions of single row updates.

This can be mitigated by doing a "lazy" migration when a document with the old structure is first read. But that makes the code much more complicated.
I think that would ideally be done via a separate linter set up in CI.

It has bugged me when using python interactively but fortunately ipython will ignore it.
Anything can be compressed.

Nevertheless, the difference in compressibility between liquids and gases is huge.

Gases can be compressed with small pressures so that their volume is reduced to a small fraction of the original volume, while applying great pressures to a liquid will result in a volume only slightly smaller than the original volume.

The compressibility of gases can never be neglected, while in many practical applications of liquids it is possible to approximate them as ideal liquids, which are incompressible.

The approximation of incompressible liquids is like the approximations of inextensible wires, inextensible membranes or rigid bodies. Even if such ideal objects do not exist, such models simplify the solutions of problems and for many practical cases the solutions are close enough to the solutions that would take into account the deformations or volume changes of the bodies.
Excellent point, I clearly wasn't thinking too clearly when I made that point. The main point I was thinking is that trying to stop iPhones coming in to the EU is significantly harder.

Imagine the amount of people wanking through the 'nothing to declare' exit after coming back from pretty much any other country and buying an iphone.
I don’t regard efficiency as one obvious thing. Is it single threaded efficiency? Best hardware utilization? If it’s an application that’s guiding external resource utilization, should you even be limiting your efficiency measure to just your code? How often does that code even run? I.e. does its efficiency even make a difference?

And once we define what we mean by efficiency and come to a conclusion that for the code we’re writing improving it will be impactful, recognizing that it’s only one of many worthwhile engineering goals including readability, test-ability, correctness, security, flexibility/adaptability, and time/cost effective implementation, and come to the obvious (though slightly sad) conclusion that at least some of these goals are always in opposition. We can’t really write code that optimizes for all of these things. So now we have to prioritize, and if engineers are taking it upon themselves to decide which goals are most important to them, without considering the needs of the organization (that’s paying them to do the work) to me that’s not a good sign.

Sometimes managers are ineffective and ask people to do dumb stuff. Sometimes engineers like to ignore the fact that by some metrics their work is always going to suck and avoid the mental overhead of having to pick which metrics to optimize for.

Some real examples of these tradeoffs:

* Pure functional code is more straightforward to test and IMO easier to prove correct, but it will likely have more GC overhead than imperative code with mutable variables.

* Techniques like STM can lead to much higher throughput on multi-core systems (while effectively eliminating entire classes of concurrency-related bugs) so you can do more with fewer servers, but it introduces some overhead on each invocation.

* More effective route planning software could be much slower and CPU-intensive to run but that inefficiency may be dwarfed by vehicle fuel savings.

* In the language I work in, monomorphic code (all things being equal) is always faster and more efficient than its polymorphic equivalent, but I often use and implement polymorphic functions so I’m able to handle many types of data down the road.
You feel that way, and WebOS failed on phones.

I just asked ChatGPT "Can you please tell me the difference in Kanban and Scrum in 2 paragraphs?" It gave me a better answer:

Kanban and Scrum are both popular Agile frameworks used to manage and improve work processes, but they have distinct differences in their approaches and practices. Kanban, originating from the Toyota Production System, focuses on visualizing work, limiting work in progress (WIP), and improving flow. It uses a continuous flow model, meaning tasks are continuously added and moved through stages such as "To Do," "In Progress," and "Done." Kanban emphasizes flexibility, allowing teams to pull work as capacity permits rather than adhering to fixed iterations. Its core principles include visualizing the workflow, managing flow, making process policies explicit, implementing feedback loops, and evolving collaboratively.

On the other hand, Scrum is a structured framework that uses fixed-length iterations called sprints, typically lasting two to four weeks. It defines specific roles such as the Scrum Master, Product Owner, and Development Team, and ceremonies like Sprint Planning, Daily Stand-ups, Sprint Reviews, and Retrospectives. Scrum emphasizes delivering a potentially shippable product increment at the end of each sprint. It promotes regular inspection and adaptation through its iterative cycles, aiming for continuous improvement and fast delivery of valuable product features. While Scrum prescribes a clear set of roles, events, and artifacts, Kanban is more flexible, allowing for the integration of its practices with other existing processes without requiring significant changes to the workflow structure.
Oh my god, this number lines up so perfectly with my experience at various companies.

> Pluses: in 20-30 years, there will be a lot of older folks who are very hard to fool or manipulate.

I disagree. Tech literacy is going down, partially due to an overreliance on dashboard-style mobile apps and phishing scams are still widely effective. I have seen people lose mails and accounts to strategies that have been unchanged for an easily googleable 11 years now. Perhaps the inevitability of exposure is a numbers game, but I'm overall pessimistic, I think a lot of scams will become a lot more "personal sounding" due to AI agents, and a preparedness reset is coming.
It's not obvious what "moving" means in this thread but no foundry would ever let you make a design the grossly violates the design rule checks (DRC). It's hard to imagine how something risking damage of anything would get through all the many, many, checks, but wasting time and money is definitely possible and to be avoided.

As an aside, few analog layouts will use the "line of diffusion" style that's common in the standard cells. And in analog one can find more exotic transistor patterns, like waffle [1], that aren't used in digital. Many things are possible, but it has to pass DRC.

Just this morning I asked GPT-4o to write some code for me. And the code was correct, except for one stupid mistake GPT-4o made which caused a compilation error. I just fixed that myself, but I think it is likely if I gave GPT-4o the error message it could have fixed it too. And I was thinking if I set up a chain-of-thought agent with function-calling, GPT-4o probably could have discovered and fixed the compilation error itself without my involvement. Provide it with unit tests it may even get the code to pass the tests (even if it takes a few iterations)-which could address issues like the braces in strings and comments issue you mention, assuming the unit tests cover them. And if they don’t-if you notice an issue via code inspection or exploratory testing, GPT-4o (in my experience) often does a decent job of “here is the code and here is a description of the bug, modify the code to fix it”. Of course, sometimes chain-of-thought agents get stuck and fail to progress, but something that quickly gives you the right answer 80% of the time can be a big productivity boost.

In my case earlier today, it helped that it was a relatively simple function and I gave it a rather detailed natural language spec of what I wanted it to do. I totally could have written it all myself, but writing a natural language spec and getting GPT-4o to translate it to code is (depending on my mood) less mental effort than just writing the code directly.
This is a reasonable question[1] and does not deserve to be downvoted. Upvoted to compensate.

The polity novels by Neal Asher scratch a similar itch - the polity is much less utopian than the culture, but the world building is quite similar. I would recommend the Transformation arc as a good starting point!
> Let’s not get silly and totally absurd.

Sure, like let's not be silly and absurd and refuse to consider the possibility Apple might leave the EU?

> Also it’s the cost of compliance that has to surpass their profit

Right, but the fines the EU issues are from their global revenue. While I think this is reasonable, for the same reasons it's a problem that the rich can speed and not care about a fine, but it could well be enough for Apple to withdraw.

Strong claim, since the nuclear plants are already shut down and yet the lights are on.

> There are universal, non-regional American dishes, eaten consistently everywhere in the country. Caesar salad, apple pie, fried chicken, chili (though: regional variations), beef stew, a BLT.

Right, but those are mostly global (or at least broadly western) - I'm interested in the question of whether there's an American food culture. BLT is an interesting thought though, I think America does have a distinct "bacon" culture involving different, more heavily cured meat than you find in Europe.
Hi, wow I love the notion minimal style design. Where is the data saved? Are there any limitations in use? Congratulations on the habit tracker you created.
That also neuters any desire for progress, no?

AS34553 hosts my personal services (email, website, VM hosting, nuclear fusion reactor, etc). It's an "autonomous system" - the kind of network that enables announcing your own IP space with BGP.
I think there's a good chance that stories like these often come from situations where the one being "supported" have little to no functioning feedback cycle. Much of the time a manager just never reflects on their own communication style or that of the corporate system they're a part of, and don't realize how ambiguous someone's progression or success is. Although I am not suggesting this is OP, but in general

>And "all our pop music sounds like a tribute act"? Lmao. If you listen to the same top 40 pop crap, sure! There's tons of great pop acts that are way smaller - but again, if all you do is look at "most played" and listen to the radio, you're going to hear the same monoculture bullcrap

Sorry, this just isn't true. If you aren't listening to the "top 40 crap", then you aren't listening to pop, you're listening to something that isn't pop at all.

There aren't any tiny pop acts at all. Those aren't pop. The definition of "pop music" is that it's popular, hence the name. If it's some band that barely anyone knows about, they might be great (in your opinion), but they're not popular by any reasonable definition, and thus aren't "pop music".

When people complain that modern pop music is all terrible, it's a perfectly valid position. The music industry is not at all like it was 40 years ago. It doesn't mean that all recent music is bad.
I strongly agree with your main point that pythons syntax design is objectively poor, but content that even the grace you seek to extend to it is wrong

>Python encodes structure in only one way, using indentation

Except when you write a multiple line string using """ notation.

Or when you put things inside parenthesis, which i have seen as the preferred solution for method chaining.

Point is, python claims indentation is all that is needed, and then very quickly breaks it's own rule.
This is precisely what I've been considering! I want a physically small display that can do 80x25 (at least) text, for those times when a laptop isn't available or is too cumbersome.

Because many of the SPI screens don't have the resolution to do at least 80x25, I'm currently using a small composite display, but if I find something that does at least 480x200, I'll give it a go. This'll be a good reference :)

Thanks for the insights. That cutting the grass would be a huge cost did not occur to me but with enough red tape I see that could be the case.

Even though soil failure is the direct cause, if that fails the structure has failed. The reflex of adding more concrete does not always help. A hard, vertical structure is basically a concentrator for both currents and wave energy. So you need a huge scour protection or else the wall will only work very temporally. And a narrow structure is more susceptible to piping (where water finds a path under the structure and then erodes that away). This is of course also a soil failure, but unless you are building a boat you have to interface with the soil somewhere. And that is usually where your structure will fail...
You mean Java or .NET?
Might as well allow multiline lambdas and js-style ternary statements. JS (under JSX skin) makes constructing a tree of components really ergonomic. Similar libraries in Python rely on doing side effects and context managers and dsls.

Also TS has slightly more consistent syntax for return types than Python.
```
// TS

function fn(a: Type, b: Type) : Type {

}

// Python
def fn(a: Type, b:Type) -> Type {

}
```

But I want python to have to close braces on as few lines as possible. Yes I'm a Black user and wonder how.
I have done a few blog posts with interactive doodads like this. It takes a lot (like really a _lot_) more time to do, but I think it's the right way to go. There is so much noise on the internet caused by people casting their 2 cents into the void.

Interactive thingywotsits may slow down individuals making posts, but there are a lot of individuals out there.
"Code-as-Text" is way too universal and deeply ingrained to change in the short to medium term. I've worked a bit with low code / no code platforms and everything becomes a mess: little to no version control, search is bad, no import or possibility to generate components programmatically,...

However, I'm totally with you on having the editor show the code as you'd like. As much as I don't like tabs, at least the user could choose their preferred width for indentation. (A less disruptive Python-with-braces could be the editor showing braces but converting to spaces behind the scene.)

I think a key difference is that in Formula 1 there are limits to the types of designs teams can build. To my knowledge that doesn't exist in cycling to anywhere near the degree of Formula 1.

Formula 1 may not be an "ideal" design if you let each team do their own thing entirely. Also F1 car specifications are also designed around their ability to race with other cars.

The reason cars look so similar in F1 is because they are mandated to be that way to a degree. But that doesn't necessarily mean it's an "ideal" design.

However similarly, cycling helmets are designed and tested in wind tunnels believe it or not.

TBH, I think "highly secure" might be overselling it. Yes, assuming you're generating random numbers well, there's actually zero chance your security will be breached because of an attack on your encryption algorithm. But there's not actually zero chance that your random number generation is flawed, and (very much more important) the cost is in making harder the pieces of your system that are probably more likely to fail in the first place. And of course you're still potentially vulnerable to traffic analysis and such even if all the rest goes right.
I once witnessed something and was interviewed about an hour after it and the police said "yeah, that's not what happened" - and i was so sure i asked to see the video (the following day) and sure enough, that's not what happened. Although i thought a car was going in reverse when it was going forward - and part of it was contextual based on how the car ended up after colliding with parked vehicles.

However i can remember extremely detailed and accurate things otherwise. Unless it's people's names. Or "hey remind me tomorrow ..." or that i need to shut something off in 45 minutes. basically my memory is fine unless i get distracted, or experience anything greater than "mild trauma". Except names. I am so bad at names that Dale Carnegie got mad.

I do not think that they qualify, because their function as delay lines did not depend in any way on the fact that they happened to use a liquid medium.

Delay lines with sounds or elastic waves can be made using any propagation medium, solid, liquid or gaseous. The only desirable property is to have a low velocity for the waves. Also it may be useful for the propagation medium to be piezoelectric or magnetostrictive, because that simplifies the transducers from and to electric signals.

While the mercury delay lines were important for a small number of the first electronic computers, some other early computers have used delay lines made with magnetostrictive metallic wires.

The delay lines can also be used as analog memories, not only as digital memories. As analog memories, they have remained in use for many decades after they have been abandoned in computers, e.g. in the color TV sets or in radars. All later delay lines used solid glasses or crystals, not liquids.
