I would recommend the first 2-3 chapters to start.

This is a great book for teaching you how to invent algorithms. I use the skills i learned from it all the time.

I wouldn't say that, it's just the audience is different. It's basically a math theory text for getting into academic CS.

JavaScript has very similar semantics to scheme, and is just as hard to compile. V8 works well due to incredible engineering effort that draws upon scheme compiler research.

The biggest language difference I can think of is the guarantees about numeric types. JS can easily compile to native float or integer operations, when it's hard to do that in scheme.

What other scheme features do you have in mind that make it harder to compile? ( Maybe ignoring call/cc)

You are not engaging with my point and continuing to converse with the one in your head. Goodbye.

That's exactly what I'm not saying. These contrived examples only strengthen my view.

> sing loadly in a movie theatre.

Perfect example. Inappropriately making sounds with your mouth, not holding an illegal belief.

> express to an angry crowd the viewpoint

The issue is the context of the angry crowd, not the content of beliefs. Do you believe the US will penalize me for believing crypto currency is safe and stating that publically?

> thebigwinning sexually assaulted coworkers and stole money at their last job'

They are indeed allowed to believe that. They can't be taken to jail for holding that view of me. Now if they tried to get me fired with false evidence that would be a problem. If they caused damage to my business reputation without evidence that could result in civil damages.

It appears absolute to me if you sharpen the definition.

Free speech means you can express and advocate for any view point, not that you can make any sounds with your mouth in any context.

That's easy to test. Is there an alternative sub you can join that is about the president then?

This isn't related to the current article and sounds like a personal axe you want to grind.

Corporate America doesn't seem to be collapsing. It's just a mild recession and we haven't had one recently.

Also it's hard to make the same kind of analogy with 'corporate leaders' as they are typically employees rather than owners. Employees already loot a much as possible!

As much as they would like you to believe there is no licensing authority that allows you to be a country. It's maintained through will and force.

A sub dedicated to the candidate who won the election and a plurality of votes in the US is just about as mainstream as it can get.

Almost no subs used to be banned Even those with depraved stuff like subs dedicated to racism (not just allowing it) were simply quarantined.

Not every thread is a discussion about chatgpt.

Yes my experience is with public librarians, not the academic side.

I agree with your post and I'm not clear what our disagreement is. My point is that people are choosing these jobs because they are ok with the tradeoffs. They are being compensated, even if it's not with money. You describe benefits of being a librarian.

For example:

> They're still doing valuable, dangerous work and are literally in charge of keeping people alive

Yes and somehow people still sign up, so it looks like the wages + intangible benefits package is working.

> my program none of my peers ever mentioned that being why they were here

These kinds of life tradeoffs are rarely articulated. In fact I would argue that the savior/sacrificial narrative you describe is likely a polite screen to hide motivations like "I'm afraid of jobs where I can lose my spot if I perform poorly".

This can contribute to being psychologically hard to leave, but doesn't explain why people get into these professions.

I agree money is only one form of compensation. Some jobs focus on status or honor. But I don't see that in the areas you mentioned.

- nurses do make a lot of money and it's accessible without an incredible academic aptitude - EMT is almost always a stepping stone job for young people - a lot of women and moms want to be librarians partly due to flexibility

Please tell people you believe this anytime you feel like commenting on an economic article. Maybe add a note to your profile.

Most readers are trying to understand the topic from a cause and effect relationships, and those who share your view already made the same conclusion.

So how does one cause the other? The banking industry mostly supplies these people with retirement services.

High supply of people who want to be teachers and are willing to trade some upside for security and flexibility.

Can you explain how these are related at all? It seems you think economics is zero sum, so if that if these guys win, others must be losing.

And they break that process down into reproducible steps for technicians to perform. You don't need a degree.

> Not if you have college loans to pay off.

The evidence that people are taking the exact jobs you say nobody will take disagrees.

> If I attended Oregon state

Then you aren't one of those people. I thought this was about technician level with high school and associates degrees

Also people make career choices for reasons other than money. For example, interest and geographic location.

That makes sense.

More detail. They have positioned themselves as being too powerful. Think about how ridiculous that is, and at odds with everything else we know about the industry. They love it. They want YouTubers warning about how cool their tech is. They want the CEOs to philosophize about whether self driving is ethical with their friends.

I'm not endorsing bad professor games (which are real). But from my time in academia a lot of students have similar experiences about courses that just aren't for them.

For example, in a state school analysis course, almost half the class decides they just need to squeeze by to graduate and maybe 5 students will enjoy it and do graduate school.

Almost all of this is just brand engagement with tech company marketing.

It sounds like you went to an ivy league?

> do young people want to work in manufacturing plants being on call when the production line goes down

They do if the jobs pay enough to live. There are a lot more classes of young people than recent grads from big universities. See Amazon warehouse and airports.

I think you also overestimate the formality in CPU design. Yes they do a lot of testing, but it's not lik an airtight mathematical document for the whole chip.
