The lack of operators (which makes for some complicated code to read) seems at odds with the statement of making a language easy to read.

person22 commented on Why are some egg yolks so orange? foodunfolded.com/article/... · Posted by u/azizsaya
Do a blind taste test with store bought and home grown eggs. You will be able to tell. After years of eating home grown eggs, I nearly spit out store eggs when I had them. The texture and flavor is so bad it was an immediate involuntary response. Home eggs are velvety and rich in flavor. Store eggs tasted like bland rubber. I say the difference is as stark as comparing scrambled store eggs and reconstituted powdered eggs.
My wife claimed there was no difference for a very long time. She had the same experience when we needed to buy store eggs last winter.
Strangely, when going from store eggs to home eggs the difference isn't as pronounced.
I have been raising pastured free range egg chicks for years. If I don't see the color of the yolk, I can't tell the difference between mine and store bought.
Oddly enough, others can and cooks say the whites are much easier to whip.

Nobody seems to have moved to the left though. The only significant thing that passed was an infrastructure bill, and none of the Democrats in congress seemed to have made any radical opinion shifts.
I think this was a case of playing vote chicken. There were a tiny number of democrats who were never going to vote for those bills. There are a larger group that didn't want to vote for those bills but didn't want to go against party lines. So they voted for bills knowing that they wouldn't pass. They risked nothing and still got the outcome they desired.

independents, moderates, and people in the center always swing everything, its hardly news
I was curious though, is anyone else bothered by not being able to participate in primaries and party level events and elections?
Primaries are a unique situation. Very few people vote in primaries. In fact the people who vote in primaries care a great deal about their candidates. The people who care the most about their candidates tend to the far left/right. The end result is one of two outcomes: 1.) the voters in the main election have to pick from a list (two in the U.S.) candidates that are much more left/right wing than
the actual voter considers themselves. Or 2.) the party realizes that the candidate that is leading is not generally electable and ignores votes to find someone more appropriate.
I think that the republicans in 2020 followed (1) and the democrates followed (2). This is how we get biden. If a more progressive democrat was the candidate, would trump have won? That was the fear of the democratic party.
(I just made this up so take it for what its worth)

I thought I was cool being able to modify the ready message on printers across the school network. This is really impressive.
I wrote an infinite loop in postscript and sent it to all the printers. This was when postscript printers cost a fortune so there were not many of them. Fun days were those.

Strange exercise because Rust and the 6502 original programming mood are totally different: a word of cleverness and the most obscure side effects in order to squeeze the last clock cycle. But everything is "hack value", I will respect.
I don't think you can get past that the 6502 was meant to be programmed in assembly. Some of the tricks needed to optimally use memory just don't lend themselves to higher level languages. I started with a lot of basic and then moved to assembler because it was the easiest path.
If you've ever talked to anyone that has done FIRE or just retired a few years early, it's always health insurance. The current US system of healthcare via your employer is a huge blocker to any kind of alternative lifestyle. Have to wait until 65 (or like 68 by the time most of us can retire)
I just entered my data and for my family of 7 insurance costs are $1792 per month via healthcare.gov
I'm not sure what it covers.

this made my day.
I echo all of this, including in appreciation of Carle's work. Despite the simple language, there's a sophistication and depth to the best children's books that mediocre ones lack.
My favorite to read to my little guys is _This is Not My Hat_ by Jon Klassen, which is one of the funniest, most subtle ones we've come across.
Adding to the recommended books: 'Bats at the Beach' by Brian Lies.
My kids never got tired of me reading it and I never got tired of reading it. They loved that book. The illustrations are extremely well done. Who would draw bats wearing floaties?
It's about BVR (beyond visual range) combat: launching a missile at a foe and killing him before he knows that you or the missile exist. It's also about survivability against enemy ground defenses attempting to lock onto you with radar and kill you with missiles.
For both of those things, stealth is a bare minimum requirement. The F-35 has it, the Eurofighter does not. (yes, stealth is not a binary property, but that is the TL;DR)
So the Typhoon is going to kick serious ass in certain situations and be completely unusable in others.
