How do you compute page rank for billion of pages that have cyclic links? Is that not the problem right after the initial idea?

> In defence of Mr Musk, despite his character flaws, Tesla is the only Western electric car company in the top 20, and this includes Korea and Japan. Also, SpaceX is ~90% of the world's commercial rocket launch capacity.

This conflates the quality of the product with the value of the business. There is no contradiction between Tesla cars selling well because they fit a market and Tesla the business not being a good investment.

> Instead of regular expressions, Janet’s text wrangling is based around parsing expression grammars. Parsing expression grammars are simpler, more powerful, and more predictable than regular expressions.

I would dispute that this is the case. In PEGs, alternatives are not commutative, unlike in regular expressions. This can lead to quite frustrating debugging. While a valid choice, the advantage over REs is overstated.

What does this refer to? Most people use the OCaml `utop` REPL which isn't okay for some printf debugging but nowhere near what a Lisp could do.

The repository link on that page does not work. Is there a preview?

The public transport service in Hannover/Germany once had a screensaver that you could configure to show the next departure from your nearest station. I thought that was clever marketing. Today you probably could implement this as a web service.

I like the idea mentioned in the article of exploring limited higher-order functions: functions that can only take functions as argument that themselves are not taking functions as arguments. But what simplification does this buy (in the implementation of such a language) over a language that is fully functional? It is not explained in the article.

This makes you appreciate curation in a museum. Why are these objects shown together? Historical period, size, design feature, material, production method? It looks completely arbitrary.

The main feature of interval parsing appears to be that it can jump over content such that a later part in a file does not depend on knowing everything that comes before it. Has Dogma similar expressiveness?

"Show, don't tell" is lost on the authors. They only talk about visual ugliness.

My understanding of simulated annealing is that solutions that are not improvements are still accepted with some probability in early steps but that this probability decreases as "temperature" drops. Looking at your description (but not code) I did not see that aspect but it looked like you would only accept improvements of the cost function. Is this correct or where does your solution accept slight regressions with some probability, too?
