At least the patient has a view, however dim.

I gave Bret the same feedback. My point was that if he could package up a smaller version of it (say with a pico projector and a simple webcam) then you could have a ton of creative efforts happen in parallel. There are a ton of use cases for the home and for schools and I'm sad that the potential there is not fully realized..

Create in English, Krit in Sanskrit, ecrit in French. Death is Mrit in Sanskrit, and morte in French. Is is astu in Sanskrit, Ast in Farsi (if I recall correctly).

Also missing shadertoy. https://www.shadertoy.com/

Perhaps Protecting Penitent Persona.

And sometimes the legacy is just that the world is a better place thanks to their efforts, and has not much to do with having your name all over the place.

With this, could you not also use say balloons to get the rocket up till a particular point, and then switch to beamed power?

What is so special about the speed of light? As a thought experiment, if everyone on the planet was blind, would c have been replaced by the speed of sound?

Even for the app - if its a cost argument, then allow others to compete on a cost basis. Of course, apple will not let you set up your own app store with the same guarantees that apple provides around privacy security etc. If its a discovery and cost of marketing argument than I dont understand the perpetuity of payments, you can pay a first time purchase fee but subscriptions afterwards should not have any fees tacked on.

It would work if you can sing out the phrase ;). Basically a real life version of a musical.

I think here you need to look at their main weakness, which is strong reliance on government contracts. If Trump loses the next election then there will be a major change that will likely adversely affect them. Peter Thiel is one of the founders of Palantir.

Actually, it seems that compilers is a domain that APL can potentially excel at.. https://github.com/Co-dfns/Co-dfns

Not to mention that the main benefit of playing an instrument is... playing the instrument!

Why not combine the methods? Use the BTC stuff to fund the stock stuff, and have different twitter accounts do different things. Biden's for BTC, and Musk's for stock market manipulation. Plus steal the DM's for sale on the dark web.

I believe they are trying to make it up in volume.

They do, if you power a solar panel making plant with solar panels.

IMHO, this would be a perfect application to build using Elixir and Phoenix LiveView. I think it would provide really robust realtime capabilities, and fits well with things like binary pattern matching that Elixir and Erlang handle well.

Very interesting. I believe that Bret Victor does the time part really well (visually) here: http://worrydream.com/MediaForThinkingTheUnthinkable/ (in demo 4). Also, Mesh apreadsheet is very interesting in this regard, especially with K (Array based language) embedded in it. You can then write a bunch of expressions as {function} scan over initial values, both time based or otherwise. http://mesh-spreadsheet.com/

While I really like array programming languages in general, I think what is really an elegant balance of readability and conciseness is the nile language and its application to rasterization. Highly concise, yet very readable.

I think its important to distinguish between something that is a core piece vs all the other things that make the system usable. For example once you start adding error handling, and good error reporting, the complexity goes up by an order of magnitude. And in many cases the approach for the core does not necessarily scale out to the other contexts.

I'd also suggest looking at Pike's ivy as a simple example of an apl like system in go. https://github.com/robpike/ivy

It's definitely harder. I have been doing O'caml for about 20 years now, and we have probably one of the largest Elm apps out there. I looked at Purescript, especially because it also compiles to other languages (C++, BEAM) but the learning curve is a bit steep.

I'm still trying to figure out which side is Katherine the Great.

You can solve around this by using cuckoo or robin hood hashing. See for example: https://www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/148064...

This would go very well with APL.

You can have higher ratios at the CXO and SVP level, and need lower ratios below director because at the higher level most people dont need as much day to day oversight.

Need to understand your domain better, but in many cases, the 250GB csv can be compressed down quite effectively using a columnar representation. And the columns can (potentially) be processed using simd/gpu based approaches to where a single server would outrun a cluster. Food for thought..

I found this one pretty interesting. https://maierfelix.github.io/mini-c/

Have you seen Perkeep? https://perkeep.org/ Mainly build by Brad Fitzpatrick, in Go.

The analogy does not hold because you still lose time, which is IMHO the most valuable commodity because it represents opportunity cost.

In built into a lot of these discussions is a major assumption - that a startup is a "typical" silicon valley startup with the goal of being a massively valued entity. That changes the risk structure dramatically. If instead you tried to bootstrap something into a 2M annual revenue enterprise with minimal (say 200k) worth of investment, the equation changes quite significantly.

I'd assert that in that situation, playing the role of "early tech adopter" into new problem spaces dramatically reduces the risk as well.
