Not me leaving home sans phone the better concentrate, immediately desiring to post "not me leaving home sans phone, with a printed map, the better to concentrate", but being unable to, by cause of having left home sans phone, the better, in theory, to concentrate.

Everyone diluted cold brew wrong. It should be diluted primarily, or at least zur Hälfte, with milk, not with water and then further bemilked after dilution.

Suddenly realizing that if I go out sans phone (um besser konzentrieren zu können) I should probably at least bring a watch…

the wheels are part of "the brake mechanism", so if nothing decelerated in Jim's experiment, that is presumably because nothing was moving. you can observe the same effect in a completely intact car

The best way to see why cheap implementation arguments are fallacious is through a parable. Jim
wonders: “How does the car slow down? How is this function performed?” His friend Joe
explains: the car is equipped with a brake mechanism such that when one presses the brake
pedal, this force is multiplied and transmitted through fluid to a mechanism near the wheels,
creating friction that slows the car down. So far, so good. This is the correct theory of braking.
But Jim is a man of science, and he is not buying it. “Your story can’t be right. I ran an
experiment. I took the entire brake mechanism

out

of the car, set it on the workbench, and
pressed the pedal as hard as I liked. It did not decelerate anything! Therefore, the brake
mechanism can’t be what slows the car down.” One feels for Jim: the experiment went exactly as
he said. Still, his conclusion is a disaster. Joe is correct, and Jim is confused.

Where has Jim gone wrong? He failed to distinguish between the core realizer of a
function and the total realizer of a function (Baysan, 2015; Shoemaker, 1981, 2007). The brake
mechanism is the

core realizer

of the function of decelerating the car.

Actually Nolan is almost certainly temperamentally unsuited to this material (tbh though I've owned this for decades and not read it)

He who has borne a son dies not; the father turned, and his sea-battered vagrant heart swelled up with pride.
Good seemed to him his young son's neck, his chest and sides, the swift articulation of his joints, his royal veins that from tall temples down to lithesome ankles throbbed.
Like a horse-buyer, with swift glances he enclosed with joy his son's well-planted and keen-bladed form.
"It's I who stand before my own discarded husk, my lips unshaven, my heart still covered with soft down, all my calamities still buds, my war, carnations, and my far journeys still faint flutterings on my brow." Not to betray his joy, he lowered his eyes, and frowned:
"Tall tower of our tribe's fort, my son, my only son, take heed: the knavish mob now rears and tries its wings, the maimed have taken arms, slaves have cast off their yoke, the ballast, risen to foam, now tries to guide the prow.
Pretend I've not returned, that waves have gulped me down, and come, tell me how you would crush this crude revolt." A mild breeze blew on ringlets of a fallow brow, somewhere amid an olive tree a nightbird sighed, soft seawaves far away on the smooth shingle murmured and happy night in her first sleep mumbled in dream.
Telemachus then turned to his harsh-speaking lord:
"Father, your eyes are brimined with blood, your fists are smoking!" The cruel man-slayer grabbed his son and roared with laughter; two crows on two black branches shook with fright, and fled, and in the court an old oak swayed with all its stars.
"Hold firm, my son, or my strong laugh will knock you down!" But the young man shook free from his strong father's grasp:
"At your side, sire, 1 think I bent the bow well, too.
Are not our hands now slaked and satisfied with murder?" The eyebrows of his ruthless parent scowled in storm:
"My son, on shores and islands far away still smoke luxurious palaces, still groan their slaughtered kings; our people have grown haughty, wars have smudged their hearts,

a type-level list to enable specifying a set of subcommands in one place, without having to coordinate their names with eg an enum, is perhaps overkill, but isn't that the point

$pub struct Nil {} pub struct Cons<H: Command, T: List> { _h: PhantomData<H>, _t: T } pub trait List { async fn run(&self, name: &str, config: &Config, pool: &mut SqlitePool) -> Result<()>; } impl List for Nil { async fn run(&self, name: &str, config: &Config, pool: &mut SqlitePool) -> Result<()> { Err(anyhow!("No command named {name}")) } } impl<H: Command, T: List> List for Cons<H, T> { async fn run(&self, name: &str, config: &Config, pool: &mut SqlitePool) -> Result<()> { if name == H::NAME { H::run(config, pool).await } else { self._t.run(name, config, pool).await } } } impl<H: Command, T: List> Cons<H, T> { pub const fn new(t: T) -> Self { Cons { _h: PhantomData, _t: t } } }$

This e-flux article seems to ratify Govan's claim that a single-story museum obviates a hierarchy imposed by having works on multiple floors, but as a naïve museum-goer, my reaction is just: huh? I don't even know whether it's the first or upper floors that are supposed to be privileged

I'm not sure that defending a 21yo by likening her to a 6yo is the strongest move; but also, the specific take that was being responded to, that "in woke 1 we didn't really discuss this", was not correct. She independently arrived at a correct take and also a very early-20s incorrect one
