Most package managers running in containers (whether apt, apk, or something else) aren't built for reproducibility, so doing e.g. `apt update && apt install neovim` can change the versions of libraries inside the container. Fur

I think it depends on what curriculum your school's using; non-base-10 math is a punchline in Tom Lehrer's "New Math" [1]. Common Core might be getting rid of it? As a side note, comparing the complaints in "New Mat

> it would be great to have a language-agnostic package manager that worked more or less like Bundler and can solve these problems once Haven't used Bundler, but have you looked at Nix? It's got support for a bunch of languages

I don't think the article's SIGIO example made much sense -- if you have delimited continuations, you _don't_ need defunctionalize them if they're staying in-process.

How do you do package (version) management for LaTeX? There's more than a few documents I've come across that won't build on my system, giving often-indecipherable compilation errors. Overleaf at least ensures everyone involv

Yeah, I've thought a bunch about polyglot environments and the design I keep coming back to is a very generic object representation (almost definitely with a metaobject protocol), of which functions are just one kind of object. GraalVM

The paper explains a mechanism for why the Middle East is also seeing extremely high rates of obesity -- and I wouldn't call Europe's or South America's 20s-ish% rate from your chart "no obesity epidemic" either...
