> Following the Dobbs ruling, researchers observed an abrupt increase of 58 sterilization procedures for women, averaging around 5.31 procedures per month per 100,000 individuals
For perspective, if this rate persisted forever (it's probably a one-time bump) then (assuming a life expectancy of 76) about 4.8% of the population would have undergone this procedure.
As long as this took him less than 90 minutes it would be a higher hourly rate of income. Not to mention that doing this would not reduce his other earnings.
I code in C# and use a ton of LINQ when writing business logic. It's FP-ish enough to avoid logic mistakes. The mediator design pattern, which is kind of bringing another FP paradigm to the OO world, also features heavily.
I think this is the point really, not that mainstream, "general purpose" languages support FP well, but that FP ideas and aspects have been adapted into many of them.
C# LINQ, being a round-about implementation of do-notation, is a pretty advanced FP feature, and beyond most mainstream languages. C# is certainly a step up over Java etc.
However, most developers wouldn’t understand, say, a result monad implemented via LINQ, so you’re still fighting the ecosystem somewhat.
I find real-time audio mixers super interesting. A lot about writing your own can seem easy, until you find yourself in a fight against latency. If you hit 30ms you're dead, the mixer will become almost useless in a live setting. That's why the big expensive equipment hasn't been replaced by iPads. The highly regarded commercial SQ mixers [0] have 0.7ms end-to-end latency thanks to an FPGA inside.
I also firmly believe that, in the future, everything will be connected via Dante [1], which will be another example of commodity(-ish) computer networks eating everything.

I'm yet to read the article but regarding this, Dante is a massive step forward and is currently dominating the market but I feel like we are significantly more likely to see something like AES67 disrupting the market that MADI currently hold than Dante. It does naturally help Dante's case that it has an AES67 compatible mode.
Dante was not by default compatible with AES67 and neither was Ravenna, it was mildly inspired by and likely many of the engineers who work on Dante also work on the AES67 spec but AES67 is an industry specification much like any IEEE would be for EE.
AES67 also happens to be the audio backbone for SMPTE2110 which is why I predict we will see much greater penetration into the market.
With my current code the latency should be lower than 10ms at least but I haven't measured it exactly yet.
I want to try adding AES67 support since the Teensy 4 has native Ethernet and the protocol isn't that complicated, but it isn't needed for this use case yet.
I was looking at possibly seeing if I could put some time in my schedule for this but I am apparently blind and am struggling to actually find the repo for this.
Could you possibly post a link here ( or even better on the blog post ) to the repo for the source?
The idea that reintroducing an animal is telling someone "how to live" is wild. They existed there long before us, raising livestock can still happen with them there, and ranching existed in Colorado along side wolves long before this discussion.
I live in rural Colorado and raise a small hobby amount of animals (currently a bit over 40 chickens, turkeys, and ducks but the number varies through the year). I've lost plenty of animals to predators. I've had neighbors call me out to their land to shoot others. This is part of rural life with a healthy and functioning ecosystem. Predators exist.
I personally abstained from the vote; I felt like this is something better handled by career biologists and not the uninformed public. But the idea that is this "America's 87% telling the 13% how they should live" its trying really hard to jam this into existing framing of how we view American culture war issues. It'll do us some good to calm down, take a breath and put the topic in proper context. Rural residents and ranchers can still maintain their lifestyle.
>>The idea that reintroducing an animal is telling someone "how to live" is wild.
When the part of the population which is completely unaffected by the proposed change outvotes the part which now has to live with that change, it is only fair to call it what it is. This has nothing to do with wolves it could be about any other issue where the same pattern occurs.
I don't attend one, but I have stepped foot in some. Compared to an 'average' (200 person) church, the big ones have more refined music, teaching, and user experience. I guess it's easier to put more effort into content when the user base is 2,000 or 20,000, versus 200.
Probably not at a large scale, although similar situations have led to odd headlines like 'Florida's manatees are addicted to power plants'.
