@orbifx yes, it's a rabbit hole. Am starting to dig that.
One critical part, and effective in learning, in to write a compiler.

on the math side, am reading first order logic.

Free Math Textbooks
http://xahlee.info/math/math_books.html

they are all about formal languages. e.g. parser, grammar, symbolic logic, and foundation of math.

@mattskala how is it like in Japan?

@mattskala you are right. I hear about in in Rap songs. e.g. Holiday In.

though, i think it's generally true still, that American culture, is among the least conscientious with social status among rich nations. USA is of a practical or practical culture. Rich people do not in general showoff their wealth in daily lives And in common people social events (eg xmas), people do not try to show off wealth. And i think it's a good thing.

this ad, hyper expensive brandy, marketed towards Chinese. Because, concept of social status is high Chinese culture. Rich people, drink brandname wine, wear brandname clothing, brandname car, etc. In contrast, usa is the most low key.

This is very good.
Programable, video display on keys, and not expensive.
Added a video review.

@progo was thinking rewriting everything in js with a functional wrapper. So, almost everything will just have the function form f().

and no for loop, no statement, no dot notation perhaps (have fcompose() instead), and if() now returns a value, etc.

@zacts i don't think i look at things that way.

i would not have looked it from the point of view of ethics and sexism (the latter word has lots problems. need to define it precisely).

first, what is the issue/problem exactly in concrete terms. The producer/director/boss exploiting people? women, men? how exactly? were they forced? etc. In detail. then we can drill down.

also, as you say, If porn n fastfood in usa has similar exploitation issue, then it's way too broad to address.

@Atom_Rocket yes.

btw others reading this thread, this is response to another thread about tech companies hiring programers using sjw pic, not about apple.

#JavaScript In Depth, learn RegExp in 10 minutes, for beginner http://xahlee.info/js/js_regex_tutorial.html

if there is one scumbagest human animal, that would be mark zuckerberg.

Very long article about facebook. dark politics.
published by wired, by the way, is also a scumbag.

i wonder if it is worthwhile, to create a new lang on top of #JavaScript, by writing a set of function wrappers that cover every (good) parts of js. And you code js using this wrapper layer.

you get minimal speed penalty, and is still pure js.

@black6 @ChrisWilson thanks. I think the explanation about white not being a color, is the key answer. Am gonna lookup white a bit.

@black6
yes, i understand that. (i've read the wikipedia, it has photos of bulb's light going thru a prism, and the florescent light has gabs in rainbow)

but still, my question is, how is it possible for a yellow light to be more accurate on object's color, than a white light source.

that's just not intuitive. (so, my thinking is, either CRI is flawed, as wikip indicates near bottom, or, it is widely mis-applied and spread about.)

@ChrisWilson

@ChrisWilson @black6 ok, but answer this, for my curiosity sake.

incand bulb is yellowish. While fluorescent or some led is bright white.

now, how is it possible, for such yellowish light to reflect color better than bright white colored light?

that is my question.

for another example, does fire (candle light), has high CRI? am guessing it radiates all spectrum? if so, but certainly fire doesn't reflect object's color accurately ?
