Most of the pubs exist still, I think.

The food thing has always been the case, it’s just that in the past you could make a bit of stew or have some pies in a warmer at the end of the bar, and you could sell them for a reasonable price, and make more profit than you would on same spend on beer (alcohol duty has been around a long time), but now, needs have changed.

That’s come from two directions. First, those pie warmers and stew pots would struggle with modern health and safety rules in relation to food, and compliance with the regs costs more money so you need more expensive product.

Secondly, consumer demand. A lot of central pubs now are dealing with far more tourists than were around in the 1960s as a consequence of cheaper air travel and changing drinking habits of local resident populations. Those two groups mean pubs have had to move to sit down meals, and at a near-restaurant price point. A few go a little under that level (Greene King and Fuller’s for example, they seem to do very well on food at a non-gastro price point), but they always knew food made more money than beer.

I think it interesting that Sam Smith pubs segregate the food. You can’t just order food to your table - you have to go to the dining room. This means intent has to be decided on as you walk in. I like it a bit, but actually, I’d prefer the Fullers experience more, in that if I have a couple of pints and then want to order a battered whitebait with a jenga of chips and some crushed peas, I can do that. :)

You assume that nuclear stations are in a world without wars, isn't?

In real world, one nuclear country invaded another nuclear country, shelled and then captured two nuclear stations, and use one of them as shelter for soldiers and as ammo depot, while openly claims that they will bomb other nuclear stations in month or two.

If a experienced operator of a nuclear station will want to make harm to another nation, can it use a RBMK-1000 type reactor to repeat Chornobyl? It's not a theoretical question any more, because Russians forcefully migrate operators from Ukrainian nuclear station to RF stations and from RF to Ukrainian station.

Not a native English speaker, but when I hear "thankfulness" I kind of hear "to someone/something" (not that much for "gratitude"). Now "humble" I resonate much more with, but I don't see it connected to "thankfulness". People can be "thankful" to someone and feel very entitled at the same time.

Humans have been fighting against "chance" for the whole evolution (chance of starving if you don't catch something, chance of suffering if you take a bug, etc.). I fully agree, you should not feel responsible for it, but you should not like it (or thank it) either.

Because their argument wasn't "competitive gameplay is terrible for society", but "chess is bad".

But even if it was the former argument: that's unquestionably false too. Just look at professional sports like soccer or Basketball. Surely you're not going to argue that this is bad...? Because that's fundamentally the same, just on a different topic
Search the study for "ink," this is discussed briefly. They produce less visual fatigue than regular screens because they reflect ambient light rather than relying entirely on being backlit.

In terms of comprehension the hierarchy probably goes paper > e-ink > all other screens. Hard to quantify the gap between each.

I think this is a big point to consider: we've known for a long time that taking notes increases recall to a degree that likely dwarfs this screen vs paper thing. There are studies where it's like a 7-8x improvement in recall which is tied to comprehension.

So if you want to actually remember and learn from stuff, definitely take notes. Preferably handwritten ones. Preferably do it all on paper. But the key is really to just be taking notes.

Lastly there is also the argument that doing anything is better than nothing. Some people aren't going to get through any books at all if they're not audiobooks, so, they should keep on listening to audiobooks, even if comprehension or recall might not be as good that way. Personally I've been on a hardcover books kick recently, I've found I just get a lot of satisfaction out of reading a proper, high quality hardcover book from start to finish, alone or with a loved one, preferably with a cup of tea, so that's what I'm now doing.
If we're going to have this argument, are we allowed to read/write to external storage? That would seem to me to circumvent the bounds of pointer address space.

The interface to the external storage only needs bidirectional sequential access rather than random access, so we don't even have to worry about the disk addresses becoming too large for the addressable internal memory.

BTW, I got a chance to read through the model card and there's a section that shows their SD gains: https://huggingface.co/amd/AMD-Llama-135m#speculative-decodi...

- 1.75x-2.80x on MI250

- 2.83x-2.98x on NPU

- 3.57x-3.88x on CPU

Note they were testing on AMD-Llama-135m-code as draft model for CodeLlama-7b, both of which do similarly badly on Humaneval Pass@1 (~30%), so it's likely if they were using a similarly trained 135m to SD for say, Qwen2.5-Coder (88.4% on HumanEval), the perf gains would probably be much worse.

Currently the startup time is often the last of the problem when using python for CLI tools. The python ecosystem is terrible for CLIs.

It is very hard to ship reliably and consistently standalone tools to users in Python without bundling the damn interpreter in a giant blob/archive with the program itself.

The packaging ecosystem and import system of Python is a mess:

- Any PYTHONPATH entry on the target user machine might break your tool (hello bashrc).
- Any globally installed python package on the system ( /lib/python3.X/site-packages ) might break your tool.
- Any python package present in the user home directory might break your tool ( e.g ~/.local/lib/python3.X ).
- Many python packages have binary dependencies that do not respect the ManyLinux (https://peps.python.org/pep-0513/) standard and have random ABIs issues with systems with different compilers / libc.
- Some user mix in their environment Conda and system packages all together with different libc and that blow up with random errors on package import.
- Add on top of that, you have the problems with the versioning of python itself.

This is honestly insane. It is a major usability pain compared to a simple "unpack and run" of a Golang, C++ or Rust binary.

But playing Chess at any serious level (more than a couple hours a week) has some non Chess side effects; it teaches you to examine your own behaviour, it teaches you that even if you're very good you can still lose (and hopefully how to lose well), and it teaches you that the other side gets a vote (get a turn, no action happens in a vacuum).

All of which are very valuable life lessons.
> The article talks about this extensively.

The article is trying to manufacture consent with vague authority: "Most reasonable and knowledgeable people seem to share this opinion." While it is someone who is not impartial. He claimed that he worked in WPE before and than 'extensively' writes why it shouldn't matter - without telling anything.

I'm not saying that what 'Matt' did is OK. Seems to me no party here is in right. But that is not my point. My point is that these kind of articles - especially lengthy vague ones - are just increasing the drama.

It is possible to fill in basic function bodies based on their type, using ghc-justdoit (https://hackage.haskell.org/package/ghc-justdoit). That's maybe not what you meant, if you are looking for integrating pointfree into Haskell it can be added to ghci or your development environment.

My point as a Brit was it seemed a bit heavy handed in the US. In the UK we didn't really have that and still got most people vaccinated.

It would have made more sense if the vaccines actually stopped catching it and transmission but they don't really, they mostly just seem to reduce the harm when you catch it. In terms of not spreading it to others you are better isolating than relying on the vaccines - I've had that as a practical issue with my late 80s mum who I visit. Although I've had 4 jabs I've still had it caught it twice since, and have avoided giving it to her by testing if I feel ill and staying away. Which is kind of to say some of the politicians views on it were heavy handed and a bit iffy scientifically.

How many teams actually decide against using Python because it's "slow"? I'll personally never really get why people prefer interpreted languages in the age of Go, but even if we go back a few years, you would just build the computation heavy parts of your Python in C. Just like you would do with your C#, your Java or whatever you use when it was required. Considering Instagram largely ran/run their back-end on Python, I'd argue that you can run whatever you want with Python.

Maybe I've just lived a sheltered life, but I've never heard speed being used as a serious argument against Python. Well, maybe on silly discussions where someone really disliked Python, but anyone who actually cares about efficiency is using C.

School is a local matter, but voucher systems are forced onto local districts by the state.

Voucher systems are not set up as “taking my business elsewhere” because a voucher doesn't contain just your money but includes other people's taxes, making it their business too.

> If private school offers more competitive product

That "competitive" is doing a lot of heavy lifting. If you think more religion in school make the school more competitive, then you can already choose a private religious school. If you think having a lacrosse and water polo team makes the school more competitive, then some expensive private schools have that.

These are more expensive, sure, but that's Pareto optimality for you.

If you want to choose a school where the graduating class all have high SAT scores, and they do it by ranking the class every year and expelling the bottom 10% as "deadweight", than that's an option at some schools.

But if you really want this level of competition, then you'll end up having a lot of smaller schools, and lose out on the economy of scale in a consolidated school system, where you can have a school with 3,000 students like I went to which offered classes in jazz music, Latin, machine shop, and differential equations.

> There is not much sense to force people to pay for local school and pay for private school.

Your argument seems to be that public tax money should not go to education.

After all, if I have no kids, or my kids have graduated, why should I pay taxes which go to the school system?

But in that case, why limit it to education? If I don't have a car, why should I pay taxes that go into highways? If I only buy books, why should I pay taxes which go to the library? If I have a private pool memberhip, why should I pay taxes which go to the city pool that I never use?
