Would you mind quoting the passage in the present article where the assumption that capitalism started in the last 20 years or so is made?

The texture differential at the T-intersections was a deliberate choice for the mouth feel component and is one that I appreciate. It gives an inner region of tooth resistance. The frills stay on if you time it right. If I want to cook it in the sauce I pull it out of the water earlier. NBD. I haven’t yet used what Trader Joe’s offers. I suppose it’s possible the two products are not identical.

The series of podcast episodes is worth a listen. The task is not just imagining an ideal shape balancing the 3 constraints, but to do one that will actually come out a pasta extruder die. Getting the trough inside the curl might not work within that implicit 4th constraint.

He did a great job balancing the 3 constraints. I always keep some on hand these days. Trader Joe’s carries it.

I suppose the dimension is the something, to be charitable.

My favorite thing from Euler's body of work is the circle-of-fifths on steroids, the tonnetz.

That's the least charitable interpretation, I think. A more charitable read is that no system should be one-size-fits-all, so move outliers to specialized subsystems.

I don't think you want to use the term "arbitrary" here, since that would imply a stronger claim: that no matter how one defines "understanding" it applies. "Yes, for some specific, narrow definition of 'understanding'" is better.

I understood what you meant, but my math reflexes had to say something.

That's kind of what being bathed in a constant firehose of disinformation does to public opinion, though, right? Most of those people aren't even living on earth one.

TFA: "...R&D spending as a percentage of sales, to levels last seen before the iPhone launch..."

Can’t get no fancy notes on this blue guitar

That follows from Clojure being dynamically typed, though. Different design constraints lead to different results.

The README is an order of magnitude more useful. The man page aesthetic of z's README hits me in the feels, but I prefer the better documentation of zoxide.

The Clinton body count thing is just a conspiracy theory. It’s proto Qanon nonsense.

Interoperating with Java was a requirement. That immediately takes simplicity off the table if the goal is to bring FP to the JVM.

That was my first suspicion, but it seems ahistorical and the quoted passage doesn’t speak to that question.

Help me understand the intended relevance of that passage.

> Presidents are grifters

This really doesn't need to be expressed in plural. We have one notable example of someone who entered the race as a grift and was arguably surprised to have won. We've had plenty of candidates in it for the grift before, but only one such victor. Maybe it was only a matter of time, though.

I read it — possibly misread it — as an instinctive reflex to balance out the negative assessment of Trump so as not to completely lose half the audience.

> x86 has to scale from embedded boards to laptops to servers

Isn’t this also true of ARM?

You’re welcome. I get the impression that it’s more a matter of Vint Cerf being behind it and Google just letting his curiosity drive him wherever. He started it with a team of scientists at JPL, I think. Google’s ROI is probably the prestige of having their brand next to whatever Vint does.

That "if" is doing a lot of heavy lifting, when a company like Google is in context. They are an efficient pipeline for sending cool technologies to the graveyard if there ever was one.

I love seeing backporting efforts like this.

> But by some accounts, less than 50% of devices are on iOS 17

What are the current numbers? My reflex has been to check Mixpanel, but I don't know what a good source is these days. They have it at around 64% at the moment.

I'd say it's zero percent insane — that is: one hundred percent sane. This first iteration of the headset is going to have a very short battery life. You do not want to run your IDE right on the headset. Video streaming is probably the lower energy draw of those two possible approaches.

I don’t recall anything but a single definition of the term until Google muddied the waters.

This is accurate. NeXT was sitting right there but Taligent, Pink, and Cairo sucked all the oxygen. It’s kind of funny how NeXT won in the long run by acquiring Apple for a negative 430 million and re-skinning as macOS.

Wait, do companies buy ad placement in Teslas? Do they appear on the dashboard display while driving or something? If not, then how would they boycott?

A few years ago we had an opportunity to borrow at a negative interest rate. Should have leaned into that opportunity.

Also we’re under-taxing bajillionaires and politically-active but tax-exempt megachurches.

Also, Windows insists on being backward compatible.

It is therefore doomed to mediocrity.
