I ended up going the opposite direction. My 11th grade trigonometry teacher forced me to repeat trig despite my having gotten a B. I was angry at the time! She did me a favor because by the time I got to Calculus in University it was very intuitive and I didn’t have much of a problem with it.
I went looking for mentions of Semantic Networks, RDF, triplets, taxonomy, or other common knowledge-related terms but I found nothing. Thoughts about pre-existing knowledge graph systems and how they may or may not apply to System? Thanks!
Obligatory C++ comparison: C++ has constexpr since C++11 and constinit since C++20. They mean more or less the same when applied to variables ("must be evaluated at compile-time"), but constinit does not imply constness.
D evaluates until it hits something it can't manipulate at compile time whereas constexpr requires things to be annotated as such, so the difference is slightly more subtle.
My biggest takeway, too, was the amount you paid for rent was based on the percentage of sales.
Also of interest was the 20 - 30% of spending was done on the bar, which the person running the food court got, too. So, basically the Food hall is taking in 60% of the revenues.
Not a bad business model. Naturally, they are incentivized to make the individual stalls work as a business, so I imagine there's some negotiation that can go around for the price they charge....
What? Alcohol is high margin. iMessage has zero revenue and is a loss leader. Also, you can offer/sell any chat apps you want on the App Store, unlike with alcohol in Donaldson's food hall.
Yeah, that's true. I could have chosen a better example there. I was trying to pick a tech that Apple tended to prevent competition in back then. Perhaps Safari/Webkit would have been a better example.
Looks like this depends on macOS.
