Since the query compilation needs exponential time, I wonder how large the queries can be before jsongrep becomes slower than all the other tools. In that regard, I think the library could benefit from some functionality for query compilation at compile-time.

To give a different opinion, the math topics are actually what I like most. When I'm looking for something on Wikipedia, I want to get a precise definition and related concepts. I don't think it's Wikipedia's job to teach me the material, there's other resources for that.

It seems like the article is missing the central point -- namely that the currency was depreciating monthly, providing an incentive to spend it as quickly as possible.

One could argue that infinite subsets of the natural numbers are not really interesting unless one can succinctly describe which elements are contained in them. And of course there is only a countable number of such sets.

YouTube has a de facto monopoly on long-form video content.

Why there's no serious competition tho?

Nah, you insist on building an empire, the onus in on you to git gud at keeping barbarians at bay _at scale_.

The thing got big because it was free. They bought it, society (d)evolved together with the thing, they turned it into what it now is. Monetization is their problem and no one else's.

> Monetization is their problem and no one else's.

It's also the content creator's problem. They're not doing it for free either.

Which means it's also the user's problem. Because without the prospect of money YouTube would be a shadow of what it is today.

Content creators basically do not make money from Youtube. Right now, almost all income comes from patreon, subscriptions, and merch.

I will give google a dollar when they actually work to make their service better for the creators I care about, actually pay attention to their concerns, actually build tools that improve their work, and stop treating content creators as consumables to pump out "content" faster than humanly possible so that they can shove more ads into more faces, and burn them out routinely.

Nearly every great Youtube creator deals with burnout because of Youtube's "algorithm". But youtube doesn't want thousands of talented people making niche content with high quality.

Youtube wants a hundred Mr. Beasts.

I will pay for Youtube when they fucking stop that.

Until then, I support content creators through platforms that actually pay them, actually work towards improving their work experience and artistic endeavors, and treat them like people.

Why would that be? Isn't Mr beast expensive to Google? And if you add up 10k small channels to equal mr beast's views that's the same number of eyeballs on ads at no cost to Google (assuming the small channels aren't monetized).

Admittedly I have no idea how it works though.

At the risk of stating the obvious, you can criticise the government without personally insulting public officals. In fact, in Germany, you can be prosecuted for insulting anyone; there is nothing special about public officials.

First, these studies merely suggest that microplastics have these effects in humans, yet you state them as fact. However, I don't want to argue that microplastics are harmless or that pollution is not an issue. Neither do I want to defend the point that doubling the population doubles the "speed of discovery". But even if all of your points are accurate, you would still have to show that these negative effects outweigh the benefit of a priori doubling productivity. In fact, you make the even stronger claim that doubling the population will actually cut the "speed of discovery" in half. None of this is substantiated by your argument.

How is it that despite the vast population, we no longer have geniuses like Newton, Leibnitz, Gauss, Maxwell, Einstein, etc.? If they existed today, they would just be selling ads and stocks.

It's ironic that your responses come off as much more rude and condescending than the comment in question.

I’m not offended. I was too brief and I can see how my post could be misleading.

CICO is fundamentally true, but the point is that "calories-out" depends on so many factors (including "calories-in") that it becomes meaningless.

The calories out is mostly your body surviving. You can just ignore all exercise to simplify the out portion. You can get your BMR tested close enough that you can work with it. Or, you can estimate and iterate.

To be pedantic: Their Maybe class is just a Functor, not a Monad.

What's it missing? flatMap/bind/whatever that's called?

Yes, exactly. It's missing the monadic bind (which for the list monad would be flatMap).
