I appreciate the explanation, but the very first example doesn't sit well with me. Water forming into ice cubes spontaneously looks weird simply because we’re not used to seeing it. Consider a time-lapse of an icicle forming as a sort of counter-example: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mmHQft7-iSU

Reduce the power of the govt to regulate things at the federal level and instead move that power to the states. This will return power to the people, and people will naturally move to states that are delivering for them (whatever that is that they're looking for).

Across 50 states, this makes it 50 times harder (literally) to practice regulatory capture, and 50 times as likely that they'll be caught out by it, and because news travels at the speed of light today (unlike in the Constitutional era), 50 times as likely that the other state residents will find out about it.

Everything becomes fifty times better once we just return to the principles of federalism: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." (Tenth Amendment)

Decentralization still works. Push the power back downward to the people who care the most -- you and me. Even though it's one of the rare examples of a federal governing agency that is mostly apolitical and actually functions semi-effectively, the FTC, for example, is a largely pointless, neutered entity that pales in comparison to state powers. For example, the state Attorneys General were able to effectively destroy Big Tobacco. The federal government didn't even come close.
We spend public money on things that are almost impossible to put a concrete value on all the time. Parks. NASA. University subsidies. Animal welfare. The list goes on. "How much are we willing to pay" is entirely subjective and can't be produced by a nice clean spreadsheet.
"Patching" is the fundamental reason airgapping isn't a sound solution, IMO.

I think they are primarily suggesting that you take it slow.

I'd wager a lot that your craving was due to the psychology of the process you performed, not some actual physiological withdrawal. If you took your time and found other things that were good to eat, rather than 'quitting' your habitual foods, I don't imagine you would have any trouble at all.

It’s best not to think of it as a markup language. It’s a programming language designed around the needs of outputting pdfs.

Structurally it’s like a modern, nice version of php, only it’s built for academic articles rather than emitting websites.

The code snippet there packs in about 8 typst concepts all at once. It’s like if someone showed off how “simple” c++ is by showing some template-heavy magic. It’s straightforward once you’ve spent time with the language, but it’s a pretty terrible place to start learning typst. (That example shows expression mode, block mode, function calling, tags, named arguments, and probably more. Whew!)

To a first approximation(see note) all natural languages have similar complexity, it just comes out in different parts of the language. Languages with fewer moods make up for it with synonymous constructions that use more words.

(note) linguists argue about this just like they argue about everything else, but it is the safer assumption for non-linguists.
I really wish typst had a good way to emit html. Id love to use it for blogging & technical writing and documentation.
The Wiki article you link gives an example from the 1600s of "the passions" vs "reason" so it certainly seems quite old. And when framed that way in particular has echos of "habitus" from sociology - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habitus_(sociology) which I will paraphrase badly as "intuition [the passions] as shaped by social structure".

But all that seems largely descriptive rather than usefully predictive and more a representation of what we don't know than what we do.

I live within 20 miles of this volcano. I've been reading the reporting. The further we've gotten from the original report the more FUD gets sprinkled in. This "article" takes the cake. Each time it notes that these events are really no big deal, the author precedes and / or follows with some form of "It's gonna blow ! / Be scared!". In fact, it's like they copy / pasted the original reporting and added BS drama for effect. Terrible article.

As someone who's been to both China and Japan I'd say railway is far ahead in China than the rest of the world.

Again, according to GPT, the price per kilometre between them is €0.03-0.06 in China vs €0.15-0.26 in Japan.

I know Japan has a lot of high speed rail coverage but so does China and the difference in price is absolutely insane.

Rail between Beijing and Shanghai for example has an average speed of 300kmh. I believe their high speed network is vaster than Japan's.

More to the point, emacs already has been rewritten substantially. There’s the initial rewrite from TECO to lisp, there’s the 80s implementations like uemacs (famously used by Linus), we had a major fork with xemacs in the 90s, there’s guile emacs (ready any day now), lem is almost but not quite a Common Lisp emacs, and it’s been making a lot of progress recently. So go ahead with your rewrite, you’re in fine company!

Almost all the comments here are about things that really possible to do in current Emacs i.e. 'feature-requests' and not "fundamental pitfalls of this foundational application". For me, it would be just:

- More sane defaults for new users.

Not much. A lot more comes from state funding, which can be anything from property tax to sales tax to additional fuel taxes. Because you pay about the same fuel tax per mile on a 60 mph road as a 25 mph road (but the 60mph road costs 100x as much), you also find driving on slow roads becomes a subsidy to building fast roads.

I didn't say that. The OP argued "Actually this is bad because the cost per ton of carbon saved is higher than some other way to save carbon."

The original replyer pointed out that "ways to save carbon" are not necessarily fungible and there are other benefits to subsidized rail travel. The followon dismissal was to throw back and come up with a way to "price" those other benefits.

What I am objecting to is the entire chain of thinking that starts with trying to do simplistic, reductionist price comparisons and then refusing to consider other factors that don't fit in the pricing exercise.

Despite these limitations, the present study has made two important contributions. First, we now know that the expected phonesthetic effects are very strongly affected by real or even imagined familiarity, which means that large numbers of diverse languages must be tested. An interesting alternative is to use artificial languages, such as versions of Elvish or meaningless synthetic speech. Second, by setting an upper boundary on population-level esthetic preferences, we have emphasized the fundamental phonetic and esthetic unity of world languages.

First, this is speech only, not singing/opera. So, any musical effect may factor into the "beauty" but is not a parameter, nor is it measured independently. In my opinion, the musicality of languages is fascinating. For example, the Met staged Florencia en el Amazonas in Spanish, (uncommon for opera) and it was pretty magical.

Second. Klingon was not mentioned as a possible alternative. :-)

I once worked one project with (against?) a guy who saw his job as ‘finding problems before they happen’. It was fine at first but as the project progressed, he became more and more focused on proving that the project would fail. Every molehill was a mountain, and flat ground was just a tapestry of molehills. Eventually I realised that if the project didn’t fail, he felt superfluous.

Wages are more a factor of supply and demand and negotiation resulting from that than of value produced.

Otherwise we can have a long argument about if NFL players today truly produce 2-3x more "value" than 20-30 years ago for playing the same game.

(You might say "value" itself is coming from supply demand and that yes if more people have demand for NFL tickets or advertising spots during NFL games now then yes, the players are producing more value... but at that point when we acknowledge how interconnected and shape-able it all is, we could say that minimum wage is the government redirecting labor and businesses away from roles and behaviors that aren't even enough to cover the cost of living towards ones that are more valuable. Which would be... good?)
What is tragic is how Columbus’s atrocities are routinely swept under the rug for the sake of nationalistic hero worship. Forget historic contextualization: we never even covered the sickening extent of what he did to the natives in our high school curriculum. Any student of history should be infuriated by this.

(Also, if I recall correctly, his actions were considered brutal even in his own time.)
I assume you end up getting bottlenecks to RAM, disk, and network when there’s this much parallelism in CPU. So even for cloud providers it’s probably most suited to some fairly specific CPU-heavy workloads.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I think you might be inadvertently side-stepping my point. My argument was not about whether the LHC should have been built. It was about whether or not it was a valid justification put forward. I think the LHC should have been built. And while I can't say for sure, I'm pretty sure Sabine would as well. I think in that same video she calls out that it was built for the Higgs, so no discrepancy there.

But it still side steps the point - which is a false justification being provided by people who either should have or did know better - and that never being acknowledged or addressed.
Inferential Mood
There are lots of physiological parameters with set-points, such as body temperature. The problem for weight gain/loss is that instead of one set-point for body weight itself, you have maybe 5-10 set and operating points that are indirectly related to body weight, but not direct measurements of it. They don't all have to be "working right" to keep you healthy, but if too many become disordered at once, you're gonna have a problem.
> Crazy side of me would like to see it fully written in a safe(r) language like rust, swift or zig.

Emacs Lisp is a very safe language. Even though the Emacs core is written in C, that is immaterial and impalpable to Emacs users as they only interact with Emacs Lisp. What benefits would Rust / Swift / Zig bring to an average Emacs user?

elisp -> bytecode compilation in Emacs… predates humanity?

https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/By...

The entire stash of Emacs packages compiles into the byte code at the package installation time, anyway. Personally, I even byte-compile-file my ~/.emacs to eke out an imperceptible speed improvement at the startup time, which is slightless less than entirely useless but it warms my heart that I can do it.

Recent versions of Emacs can also compile Elisp into the native code:

Perhaps you do not need Emacs then.

If you can make the assumption the total amounts will be equal then sure, better to just want it no and pocket it for later. Almost always they won't be equal though, even if you can convince everyone to buy immediately (which is a feat in itself).

More likely you'll reach some percentage of your target market in your first month while some other percentage still won't have heard of you or won't have the interest/money/time (depending what you sell) at that exact moment (and for them it's the opposite - better to wait until they expect to use it than buy early). In a year there might be a significant new group to sell to (say you're selling intro to python material and now you've got a new years worth of people to sell to).

None of that really matters if nobody buys your content after 6 months. You get those initial ones and you're done. It's a tough environment to build a business in because you can't just flick a switch that says "anyone who can possibly want to buy my stuff will do so this week", you have to battle to get as many as you can before it dies out and you need the new thing (or at least an updated thing).

This might be where expert-crafted, training data comes in. I previously proposed training them like children with K-12 resources, games, stories, and exercises. Maybe add math tutoring with formal proofs at different levels.

Then, let them generate many types of problems themselves, have experts correct them, and further train on that.
> Be resilient. Be able to bounce back from pain or discomfort.

That's kinda like saying "be rich". Resilience takes a lot of time and effort, and only really builds after going through adversity, with healing and processing on the other side.

Perhaps better advice: be vulnerable, and prepared to deal with some pain and discomfort as a result. Identify people in your life who can help support you through painful interactions or events along the way. Learn strategies for framing and processing adversity through books like Learned Optimism (the ABCDE model) or "The Work".

I'm far from perfect, but this helped me build resilience to handle times when I "put myself out there" and it didn't work out.
Ctrl+C also doesn't "work" (assuming you mean "copy text"?) in Windows command prompt last I checked. (Ctrl+Insert I believe performs copy.)
> relied on heavily or excessively

That _OR_ is doing a lot of work. I believe that 'or' makes the word not objectively pejorative. Context is important. A no-true-scotsman insinuation, or an insinuation that the crutch will never be removed does lack empathy and would seem pejorative to me.

Though, an empathetic concern that the crutch will never be removed - is not necessarily pejorative IMO. Either way, the crutch is a tool to "healing." Context matters.
To be honest, I don't know if I've seen conflicting packages.
