I don't check my blood pressure every day. Maybe twice a month or when I feel like crap. I also check my glucose. Why? I believe if I keep myself in check I will keep myself out of the hospital as I age. High blood pressure and diabetes are two things I can manage. I don't want to be on meds unless I absolutely have to. Exercise and these tools allow me to figure out what I can eat and not. I'm not obsessed with my health or a health "nut". The upside is I don't get sick that much and feel good.
I also like the way the Toyota production system puts it with Jidoka / automate with a human touch. [1]

1. Only automate the steps you know how to execute manually very well. This is a prerequisite. This kind of goes in the direction of not automating everything but looking at the parts you can automate well first.

2. Enable human intervention in the automation. Enable humans to stop the line when something is wrong. Then you figure out what's wrong and improve your automation. This implies the interative approach.

People late in their careers are buying imports, people early in their careers are leaving the country. That's as clear of a case of the integral going negative as I can imagine.
> WeirdGloop also runs wikis for the biggest, most active games and communities in the world

Most of the costs are those that scale up/down by activity - MediaWiki itself is free/open-source and the wiki's content is contributed for free by volunteers.

Also, keep in mind I'm not saying that each wiki needs to be individually self-hosted. Can be a host the size of WeirdGloop but made up of smaller game wikis, for instance.

> I'm more concerned about the rest of the wikis like the example I gave where I'm googling for game mechanics for a dead game.

Prospects for long term information accessibility are pretty terrible on sites aggressively squeezing out all the profit they can. See Reddit eliminating archives and third party clients and then cutting off all search engines that don't pay, or mass deletions of user content by sites like Photobucket/Imgur/etc.

> You can migrate wikis away from Fandom. The OP is about doing just that.

With significant difficulty, fighting against both Fandom's policies and SEO/network effects. The OP lists "wiki communities need to be able to freely leave their host" as the primary rule for "How to not turn into Fandom 2.0".

All the grocery stores in my area will full refund the purchase if it goes bad before the best by date. By returning it to the store you purchased it from, it gets marked as a defective return. When that rate hits a certain percentage they will stop carrying the product.

Your premise is wrong. Much advertising is trying to get you act in a way that is in both the advertiser's best interest and your best interest.

For example the ads I receive in the mail from local grocery stores advertising items that are on sale. They often inform me that some item I was already planning to buy, but at another store, is available for cheaper at their store.

I win by saving money on my groceries that week and they win be getting sales that they would have otherwise gone to a competing store. It's the competing store that loses.
I don’t always subscribe to the expression “just use the right tool for the job” sometimes it’s nice to do things differently just to learn, but in this case, I still see some more benefits in this case of iota application being a bit more “synchronous” and local.

I think synthetic fabrics shed very small particles into the air every time they are disturbed, eventually wearing out entirely. We breath a lot of that in. Clothes, furniture, sometimes even bed sheets; these all shed fibers into our living spaces.
Cumulative inflation, using official CPI figures, is 22% since 2020. Check it yourself on the BLS.gov website here: https://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl?cost1=1&year1=202001...

A figure of 25% using an alternate methodology is not at all unreasonable.

I remember seeing a comment thread on here a few weeks ago where people were talking about making their own hot sauces, and botulism was a big concern, which was surprising to me. I figured hot sauce was so extreme that you didn't need to worry too much about the normal food-borne illnesses. Not so, I guess.
What’s extra-goofy is I’m pretty sure Encino barely had more recognition in the rest of the US than it does in the UK, before that movie came out. Like, if not for the film, I expect I’d still not be aware of it. So changing it for the UK for (presumably) reasons of familiarity doesn’t make a ton of sense.

It sounds a lot better, too. Should have kept the name.

Besides a debugger, isn't one of the first things people do (even undergrads) is start logging out variables that may be suspect in the issue? If you have potentially a problematic computation, put it in a variable and log it out - track it and put metrics against it, if necessary. I'm not entirely sure a full article is worth it here.
Nor in Python. Nor in C++20's std::views. The very point of iterators us to proceed by one element, avoiding intermediate copies of collections.

One case where the for-loop would be much more efficient is a simple transformation like incrementing each element of an array, or adding two arrays element-wise. A serious C compiler could unroll such a loop into several vector instructions which work on several elements at once. Maybe even LLVM can recognize something like that in Go code.
Cheaper goods, larger market, more things to market, age demographic balance, broader cultural influence (inasmuch as one believes this to be a good thing), increased chances for innovation.

All or some of this probably ties into what people mean by "economy", but I think it doesn't lend to any appreciation of the material difference that having more people thrown at a problem presents.

Taken to the extreme: a world void of other humans might be entertaining but would be a woefully inefficient place to learn about medicine or the cosmos. Which again presumes an audience who cares about any of that, but I wager that many do. Automation certainly replaces some people for some tasks, but we haven't escaped the need for humans yet.
That's why I specified the code. If you're writing .Map().Map().Map().Map(), you are usually getting a lot of intermediate arrays.

If you have a .Collect() call, you're in the deforestation branch. This has its own issues with stressing the inliner (turning simple, direct for loops over large collections into traversals that include several indirect method calls per item in addition to the payload is pretty easy), but that's still generally better than stressing the RAM.

Rust's map doesn't operate on arrays at all from what I can see but operates on iterators directly. This is good and generally more correct. However there's a lot of languages that don't support that. Rust is generally also going to be more reliable about compiling it all away than a lot of other languages where it will be really easy to spill over what the inliner can handle. Those long compile times in Rust do have their benefits.

There's also languages that sort of split the difference, e.g., it is not that difficult in Python to use itertools and generators to correctly write something that will not generate a lot of intermediate arrays, but it is also easy to write a series of calls and list comprehensions to write otherwise equivalent code that will create a lot of intermediate arrays.

I expect as we continue to build new languages over time they're going to all look like Rust here. It's pretty obvious that conceiving of loops as iteration over some sequence is the way to go. However, that is a result that we got to precisely because of our experiences with a lot of languages that don't support it as well, or support it inconsistently, or as is actually quite common, the language nominally supports it but the ecosystem tends to assume concrete values a lot more often than it should, and all these languages are still around.

Writing in this style correctly in imperative code is more difficult than a lot of people jumping up and down about how we should rewrite all our loops as maps and filters tend to account for. It can be done, but it's often harder than it looks, in at least one of the writing and the performance if not both, and the harder it is, the more the costs stack up on the costs side, and the harder the costs/benefits analysis becomes. And I still don't like how it refactors in most cases.
It can be controlled through compiler options like -ffp-contract
In my opinion every team finds fp options for their compiler through hard time bug fixing :)

> So far, government attempts to incentivize childbearing have failed to bring fertility rates back to replacement levels. Future government policy, regardless of its ambition, will not stave off depopulation.

I find this to be amusing, because as far as I can tell government policies are a major cause of depopulation in the first place.

Women don't want to have children because having children is no longer a net positive. Having children is no longer a net positive because they are not relied upon in old age--the government will support you with medicare, medicaid, etc. If women felt that having children was a requirement to be taken care of in old age, they'd go right back to having four kids each.

On the bright side, this problem seems likely (in the absence of extreme levels of immigration) to solve itself naturally. As the population curve inverts further, we'll have fewer resources to take care of our elders, and young women will realize that having a few kids (who can support them later) is vastly preferable to the alternative of spending their old age in squalor--just as it used to be.
Reminder: unless you acheive negative inflation, prices only increase over time because the inflation metric is a positive number. Thsi goes for the price gouging as well, it generally follows the same rules despite the artificiality.
> Aren’t safety restrictions the “use by” date?

Exactly - people haven't been taught to actually look at the words before the date. They just look at the date, say "oh that was yesterday" and throw stuff away.

I guess I didn't make that perfectly clear in the parent comment - my wife didn't know that the difference in wording mattered, so she just ignored it.

I began rock carving a few years ago from zero prior experience of any kind. I have been finding Native American and Paleo era rock relics in and around my house for over a decade now, I have hundreds of items and it has inspired me deeply. One day it hit me broadside that these early humans were using only what they had to survive and here I am picking up rocks carved by people many thousands of years old that look the same as the day they were lost. I have written countless lines of code over the decades and much of that is still running to this day in past founded entities however nothing I have created prior will outlast my rock carvings.

I find the carving experience like a drug. I'm "isolated" from the external senses in wearing ear protection, eye protection, and a HEPA filter breather from the silica. In my mind I am carving away in isolation to make some shape that is whatever I set out to create via my planning and selected rock target. Instead of a keyboard which I use to make computers do whatever I want I instead have hammers, chisels, and power tools to shape a rock as I see fit. Every rock I have carved will still be the same tomorrow, next year, next century, and every coming millennium.

This is genius. I skimmed it the first time, and it took me a good 30 minutes to appreciate the wide applicability of your insight.

A whole family of problems across domains : supply chains, manufacturing lines, AI pipelines, resilient software, physical security, etc. come down to effective state limitation.

In my day job, the vast bulk of my arguments with PMs come down to a lack of planning allocation for post-launch code cleanup. I haven't been able to find a succinct articulation for the utility of 'code cleanup' to a wider audience. 'State-limitation' fits nicely. Exactly the concept I was looking for.

It draws from the better known 'less-is-more' adage, but adds a lot of implicit detail to the generic (almost cliche) adage.

> Generate a stream of random bytes, pre-generation is advised to avoid dominating the benchmark.

Current PRNGs are pretty fast. The Xoroshiro RNG "shootout" benchmark [0] lists some self-reported speeds. They claim 8+ GB/s for even their slowest, highest-quality PRNG. The general-purpose one they recommend is 10GB/s, and 32GB/s when vectorized.

The vectorized versions get close to current DRAM speeds. I think I'd prefer that over reading from a giant table, given that the table reads will have significant implications for caching and disrupt that aspect of the benchmark.

I love debugging Python. The stacktraces are great when logged through Sentry so even on production I can normally spot the bug immediately.

On my local machine it’s even better because I can run the code, let it break and then jump straight into the debugger where I can move up and down through the stack. I can sit in the context at any point and play with the data. I can call any Python function I want to see how the code behaves.
But the people in cross-functional roles are still being drawn from a probability distribution in which most people are unable to think cross-functionally.
Not everyone is a professional web hoster with requisite knowledge on how to setup caching properly.

Mediawiki involves edits that users expect to propagate instantly to other pages. Sometimes this can easilt result in cache stampedes if not setup carefully.

MediaWiki supports extensions. Some of the less well architectured extensions add dynamic content that totally destroies cachability.

> add assertions to your code.

Yes, and many programming languages have assertions such as "assert greater than or equal to".

For example with Rust and the Assertables crate:

fn calculate_something() -> f64 {
let big = get_big_number();
let small = get_small_number();
assert_ge!(big, small); // >= or panic with message
(big - small).sqrt
}

It turns out it's even better if your code has good error handling, such as a runtime assert macro that can return a result that is NaN (not a number) or a "maybe" result that is either Ok or Err.

For example with Rust and the Assertables crate:

fn calculate_something() -> Result(f64, String) {
let big = get_big_number()
let small = get_small_number()
assert_ge!(big, small)?; // >= or return Err(message)
(big - small).sqrt
}
