I'm not entirely convinced by that explanation alone because plenty of other ultra-premium menu items (like fancy steak or vintage wines) tend to have their prices listed when seafood aren't, and oftentimes I find the market price is not wholly unreasonable. I suspect at least some of the reasoning has to be in managing consumers' expectations for stable prices/availability, and also for size, since serving a quarter will cost the restaurant much more than an entire deuce.

One minute on Wikipedia would have disabused you of that wrong notion:

> If the joining of the words or signs is orthographically represented with a hyphen, the result is a hyphenated compound (e.g., must-have, hunter-gatherer). If they are joined without an intervening space, it is a closed compound (e.g., footpath, blackbird). If they are joined with a space (e.g. school bus, high school, lowest common denominator), then the result – at least in English – may be an open compound.

Derivative works aren't really the primary problem copyright law was created to address. In the early days of novel publishing, it wasn't uncommon for a popular book an author had sold to a publisher on a royalty basis to just be reprinted by other publishers who kept all the money for themselves. It wasn't unheard of for the majority of an author's books to be published by people who weren't giving any money to them until the law stepped in.

I think people have a tendency to focus on corporations and super-successful individual creators as the primary beneficiaries of copyright, and I get it, but George R.R. Martin should not be your yardstick: the long tail applies here. A lot of authors have books that might keep bringing in a thousand dollars or less a year in royalties over a couple decades; if those authors are able to put out a book a year, that "back catalogue" might end up being most of their writing income. And the rise of ebooks has probably created more authors in that boat, not less.

The original US copyright act in 1790 set the term at 14 years, with a near-automatic extension of another 14 years granted upon request. I'd be happy enough going back to that, but I don't think I'd want to see less, honestly.

That seems rather slow for yours, and not very fast for an optimised one. It can speed up a lot from a cold start to a warm run, my tuned code can show 8 ms in powershell 7.4 after a few runs.

My hack-it-out code: https://pastebin.com/PDQhxDc9

Faster code: https://pastebin.com/6xwaVkwq

The hacky code uses slower techniques like:

- Get-Content which adds metadata to every line.

- @() arrays with += which copies the array in memory to a new one-larger memory location for every addition.

- Pipeline overhead e.g. ForEach-Object and Measure-Object.

- Filtering the whole second column for each number in the first column, repeated wasted work.

and it's still in the region of your ChatGPT one.

The faster one addresses these with:

- ReadAllLines() .NET method to get plain strings.

- [system.collections.generic.list[int]]::new() which don't box integers and can grow more quickly.

- plain adding numbers into sum variables.

- Building a hashtable [system.collections.generic.dictionary[int, int]]::new() to count each number in the second column.

- Swapping -split for string split() which may have a tiny bit less overhead.

- no pipelines.

The code isn't completely different, it's the same blocks doing the same things, leaning more on .NET lower levels, and years of experience of the basic PowerShell performance hits.

The big issue with aging is general cognitive decline. In some people it can happen faster, or slower, but it happens to all of us and is no more avoidable than muscular decline.

It makes it increasingly difficult for people to care for themselves, and highly vulnerable to exploitation, even when in 'perfect' health.

No, "se" here is Latin in the same way that "exempli" and "gratia" are. You similarly can't use "kung" or "fu".

That said, you may not like this answer, but ultimately whatever's in the official dictionary (now known as Collins Scrabble Words / CSW) is what goes. "mein" as in "chow mein" is not valid (nor is "chowmein"), but "lomein" and "wonton" are.

I don't think you (or anyone else) can speak authoritatively on why people were flocking to this particular service.

It could be a thousand different reasons

- As somebody who HAS ACTUALLY lived abroad for years, paying for a streaming service and still being region locked is pretty damn annoying

- Quality of the service. Some pirate sites are flaky, but seedbox style or popcorn time style services are pretty solid. Maybe you're thinking of just a random streaming website?

My guess is that authors have relatively long-term returns on their books, while movies are known to generally make almost all their money in the first year.
Reading one of William Dement's books on sleep, 20 minutes to fall asleep should be the amount of time to try (otherwise get up and do something else until you're actually tired, because there's no point in wasting 2 hours in bed awake).

Isn't this about the same as using a compiler to produce binary code from a high-level language?

The code in the high-level language determines the binary executable code output. But the binary output cannot produce the code in the high-level language.

Of course we can build "de-assmeblers" etc. that do somehing like that for us, but nature does nto have de-assmebhlers.

If the database is external to the host language and DB library, then you have external linkage and you'll have this problem no matter what -- not great. If the database is internal to the host language and DB library then you won't have this problem, but also you'll only be able to interact with the database via your application's code -- also not great.

Either way is not great. I think the best bet is to have:

- an external RDBMS
- a compiler from the RDBMS schema to
host languages/libraries
- run-time validation that the schema
has not changed backwards-incompatibly

When does run-time validation take place? When you compile a query: a) the RDBMS will fail if the schema has changed in certain backwards-incompatible ways (e.g., tables or columns dropped or renamed, etc.), b) the library has to check that the types of the resulting rows' columns match expectations.

Precisely. Would have been so much better if he had just sent a memo effectively saying: "He's my son, so I'm pardoning him, end of story. Sorry I lied about this, I genuinely regret it."
That's exactly backwards. Without the type-safety in those memory-unsafe languages (like C++) there would be 100x more buffer overruns and other memory issues and security holes. Having the type-safety in place is literally the main thing that makes memory-unsafe languages viable.

There's no "if" in the division operation. Division is not defined for b=0. a/0 is a nonsensical quantity because the zero directly contradicts the definition of division.

maybe someday there will be a revelation where somebody proposes that it's a new class of numbers we've never considered before like how (1-1), (0-1) and sqrt(-1) used to be nonsensical values to past mathematicians. For now it's not defined.
Could the vacuum clean the floor first?
The thing about questions like this is that the complexity of mathematical explanations is highly dependent on what each reader considers "simple." Consider two different approaches to understanding a concept, expressed in information-theoretic terms:

H(concept) + H(existing explanation|concept)

vs

H(concept) + H(existing explanation|concept) + H(categorical explanation|existing explanation, concept)

This additional complexity layer of categorical framing has a nonzero cognitive cost, which varies based on the learner's intuitions and background. The investment in learning categorical thinking only becomes worthwhile when the learner can amortize its cost by envisioning its broad applicability - when they can see how categorical frameworks enable systematic problem decomposition and generalization. This implies they've already recognized the limitations and redundancies of non-categorical approaches, understanding intuitively how many concepts would need to be reinvented as the problem evolves within its conceptual framework (gestell).

However, there exists a middle path that often goes unrecognized as categorical thinking, despite embodying its essence. This approach involves incrementally discovering generalizations -- "oh, this can be generalized with this type" or "oh, if I wrap this in another type I can do something else later on" or "oh this syntactic sugar for this particular operator overload feels quite nice"

Your system sounds great, but it's not that I can't picture a situation where telemetry would be useful. It's that you can't picture people who just don't care that much to.

Basic status indicators and warnings in the form of lights on the side of the box, sure. Online telemetry and emails? Few people care. They'll use an app that draws graphs about a grand total of 4 times after they buy the system, and that's about the extent of it.
I'm not saying M.P. is used primarily as a Veblen device to attract customers, only that it has that effect. Lobsters are M.P. in part because they're seasonal; they really do have variable prices.

Nah, I don't claim they don't exist but I also claim that I've never met any - 99% of people I know in crypto are devs who chose to be there because of the ideals and challenges. From what I've seen in media, it's not the devs who are the scammers but the people up top - founders and sales people, which again I don't know many of that kind.
More than that: the more you use, the more discounts you can get from a major CSP, which would also reduce the TCO for using a managed service.
Wonder what the economic benefit of giving away 20K median priced homes would be for the economy versus giving Intel's stockholders an incentive to build the bare minimum in the US.

Agreed, though IMO "Software Engineering" subsumes everything. You are looking for a holistic and reproducible process which can be communicated using well defined methodologies.

One important point though; IMO Risk Management in the Software Industry is qualitatively different than that from other Industries. This is because of the greater play and importance of Human Factors involved and their cumulative non-linear effects. In very few other industries (eg. Finance) can you have a factor of 10x/100x productivity between the average and the best since it does not follow the normal distribution. If i have a Jeff Dean/John Carmack programming or a Steve Jobs salesmanship in my company i can break every engineering rule i want and still come out on top.

> >My opinion is that SQL should be for computers to write. This would put it firmly in the same category as LLVM IR.

> This is nuts.

> SQL is a high level language. [...]

It's... not completely nuts. It's the reason that LinkQ exists, and that's not bad. The main reason this approach is good is that too many programmers accidentally create SQL injection vulnerabilities. Another way to prevent SQL injection vulnerabilities would be to disallow all literal values in SQL queries (making them all parameterized, though there could be compile-time and run-time parameters).

But for the SQL injection issue I think this would be... not quite nuts, but IMO unwise, because now I'd have N relational query languages instead of 1 (SQL). Sure, SQL means N variations due to differences among N RDBMSes, but mostly much smaller than the variations one would expect in different SQL-free query libraries.

One thing is clear: this sort of scheme does not make it any easier to reason about what the query engine does under the covers since expressing a query as an AST does not preclude the query engine performing algebra on your queries to optimize (or pessimize) them.
The reasoning is that, similar to memorization of times tables, being able to recall a definition or a theorem and its context / assumptions "automatically" without needing to use your brain frees you to worry about higher order activities. Being able to apply a theorem over and over again ultimately builds mastery and internalization.

Counterintuitively, mathematicians like being "brain-off" as much as possible -- you want to be able to read a phrase like "closed convex subset of a Hilbert space" and effortlessly think to yourself "oh! there's a unique norm minimizer" -- if you have to piece that together from scratch every time, you're going to have a hard time -- reading papers and learning new fields becomes a dreadful slog, similar to how math in general becomes a slog for kids who don't memorize their times tables.
> in short, if it’s convenient, you can make up your own rules.

Yes.

People find it confusing that there is no simple model that encapsulates arithmetic. Fields do not capture it in its entirety. The models of arithmetic that describe it end up being extremely complex.

Arithmetic is ubiquitous in proofs of other things, and people like the author of this blog cannot get over it.

Reality is weird, inconsistent, and weirdly incomplete.

About a month ago started reading the first book of the Murderbot Diaries (All Systems Red) after seeing it recommended multiple times. I have to admit that it didn't sound all that interesting, but I'm glad I gave it a try.

It's really good, and I've since read the next two books. They are all more of a novella length, so I've been finishing them much faster than the average novel.

I wanted to call that one out if anyone is looking for a good read.

Also, Mistborn has been memorable since I first read it about 8 years ago. That's a very good story. I'm considering reading it again, which I rarely do with books I've read within the past decade.
> Maybe division by zero should just not exist.

It does not. It is undefined
I think this is a key argument in how powerful AI can become. We may be able to create incredibly intelligent systems, but at the end of the day you can’t send a computer to jail. That inherently limits the power that will be given over to AI. If an AI accidentally kills a person, the worst that could be done to it is that it is turned off, whereas the owners of the AI would be held liable.
