> some program to hire former soldiers as teachers

That would be the Prussians, the origin of the compulsory universal education system with obedience and conformity as its foundation. The indoctrination worked very well, no wonder the system consequently spread all over the world.
While I agree with that to a point, I'd like to point out that the post you're replying to also just describes "refactoring state away" (like what you alluded to in your original post.

So, I think that you're both not wrong: State tends to be one of the (if not the) fundamental problems in most of programming. Often, looking at things from another perspective is very helpful. And we should be uncovering new strategies to do that for all places where we haven't, including the GUI.

Of course, that also means that we arrive at the meta-problem of synchronizing the state backing various systems at one point. Which mostly encapsulates Karlton's "two hard things": Cache invalidation and naming things. :)
Why isn't it prevalent in Australia and NZ? Because it is possible to avoid the coronavirus whilst interacting with other people. It's not like they put every single person in the country in complete isolation for months. Even the newly sick people coming in "interact" with other people.

I'm not barricaded anywhere like most other people where I live (BC, Canada) and about 1% of the population has had the virus. And this number is high (yes, high) because people feel like cramming hundreds of people in a small place and partying during a pandemic (or in this case 100 people together) is the right thing to do and in general people not willing to be put to the slightest inconvenience like reducing their social circle, doing stuff outdoors instead of indoors, wearing a mask, staying home when sick etc. Where did you get the 1 in 4 for the UK number from? No way it's so high and the UK is the second worst in the world in cases per capita. Vietnam? Taiwan? China? Japan? Finland? Norway? Greece?

<rant>
The problem is that in order to get each person on average to infect less than one person everyone has to do their bit. If 95% of the population is infecting 0.98 people at average but the remaining 5% are each infecting 20 people it's not going to work. Those 5% push the total reservoir for the virus up (more mutations, fun) and they keep increasing the odds of getting sick for each of the individuals in the 95%. And I'm being generous when I say 95% actually do their part. If there's a single sick person in BC and they transmit to 0.98 people then my odds of getting sick are essentially zero, but if there are 6000 that transmit to 1.02 people each that's a different story.

One of my favorite things about Rubular is the "Make Permalink" feature. Paste the link as a comment above your regex and you can easily get back to the same place later.

The permalink includes your test string(s) and makes it really easy to see what was going on when you wrote it.
Yeah, that's probably a contributing factor to the problem.

It isn't really open sourced yet.. yes, it will be, but the title seems a bit disingenous considering it is just a wait list for something that will be open sourced at some point in the future.

Regardless, it seems like a neat project and the number of query engines it supports will definitely make it useful

Regardless, WebAssembly just got one security group doing research against it, I expect plenty more to switch their attention into it, as WebAssemly slowly starts to gather more market share.

> Protect the host from the program, but not the program from itself.

All nice and dandy, except that the goal of WebAssembly is to extend the host, and have the host be dependant on the program behaviour.

A host unaware that the program is compromised can be led to take decisions that it wouldn't otherwise do, like allow a basic user to acquire admin credentials, that were supposedly correctly validated by the program.

I am really eager to see the amount of CVE's on WebAssembly to start poping up, then the whole WebAssembly advocates can tell the world why we had to ditch PNaCL and CrossBridge, 10 years of regress, and get the same outcome in the end.

When I say "run", I mean "runs at target performance". Yes, sure, Turing completeness technically means that software raytracing "runs" on the Switch, we all know that, but it's not a viable solution for a shipping product.

This is not a biproduct of consoles being closed platforms, multimedia is a challenge everywhere; cross-platform, usable multimedia playback lacks a high quality product even on open PC platforms.

Any example repo or more detailed description of your approach (directory structure, building blocks, rules between these etc.) that you are willing to share? – We are discussing (and using) a very similar approach to yours so we are always looking for more input (especially on the DDD part).

In our case we have two widely different applications (the one being a "true" SPA with a single page and the other being a more route heavy application) and we try to converge on an approach that works for both (might not be reasonable, though).
While I agree it's a shame nuclear energy has such a stigma, I think its stigma developed and solidified long before "green deal" was a thing.
Given how integrated Whatsapp is in many non-US markets, their statement is spot on. It has nothing to do with propagating the lies of a tech company. It's about being stuck in a society that has moved to a single platform because it made itself available as the easiest method long before facebook bought it up.

Reputable AdTech firms is comparable to responsible tobacco firms, both are peddling unhealthy goods, both try to whitewash their image by claiming to be above the fray. Also, it's actually in a user's best interest to allow the data to be shared. Otherwise doctors will see ads about vaping and fishers will see ads about the latest JavaScript IDEs - no, just no. First of all I can only assume that doctors are more likely to read publications which are related to their profession and as such can be targeted for advertising there, just like fishermen will read publications related to fishing and as such can be targeted. Ads on Javascript IDEs belong in publications related to programming, ads about vaping belong in the dustbin or, if you insist, in lifestyle magazines and similar vacuous outlets. There is no need to follow those doctors around to pester them with ads related to their profession when they turn to the daily news, just like those fishermen don't need to be targeted when they happen to open an unrelated site. In short, there is no need for active profiling. Since AdTech insists on doing this anyway it is in users best interest to a) make sure there is as little data to be gathered by AdTech firms and b) to make sure they don't see any ad, period. You - as in the AdTech industry - made your bed, now lie in it.

On December 9, 2019, Horowitz released his report on the findings of the DOJ OIG investigation. The OIG found no indication that the investigation of Trump and Russia was motivated by political bias, but did make 17 "basic and fundamental" errors and omissions in its warrant applications to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) to surveil Carter Page, a foreign policy adviser on the Trump campaign.[160][5][161][162][163] The report found that the FBI's investigation had a factual basis and was initiated for an authorized purpose,[162] stating: "We did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that political bias or improper motivation influenced" the agency's decision to open the investigation

Ah, I also remember Obama calling for months that the election was stolen, inciting violence, calling for forceful removal of government officials and obstructing transition teams. I also remember Obama refusing to commit to a peaceful transition of power until after his supporters stormed the Capitol and his own party (just as complicit) turned against him and certified election results.
Considering how hard people on this website try to push remote work it's funny how a broad consensus has emerged that Boeing putting workers and management in different offices is responsible for their cultural failures.
Back in the 90’s the mod community created a “Randoom” level generator, and someone even hooked it to the Doom source code to generate an infinite gauntlet of random levels. I don’t think Randoom was very advanced but it was a fun concept. Will def listen to this podcast.
It's 10 - 100 years of the flu all at once. It's bad, puts strain on hospitals, and deserved closures and mask mandates to flatten the curve.

There's a lot of media incentive and initiative to make it appear worse than it actually is though.

I didn’t realise it, but that overhead of switching to a style sheet and going back to modify markup and then viewing the results in the browser really just used up my mental energy battery.

GDPR is extremely similar to pre-existing privacy laws in some EU countries. It also applies to startups and large corporations equally, and in practice is more likely to be lenient towards startups making genuine mistakes while trying to obey the rules versus large corporations intentionally ignoring them.

The "Allow Cookies" and "Accept Terms of Service" click-throughs also barely meet any of the GDPR requirements and in the case of the latter don't necessarily constitute informed consent: EU courts have repeatedly ruled that a wall of text can not be used in software to hide "surprising" rules (e.g. that your WhatsApp account will be banned if you use a third-party client).
I'm not aware of any actually banned video games in the US, for instance.

There was an Atari 2600 game that involved rape which was banned in some community on Long Island. That's the only one i can think of.

Indeed another comment further up cites his involvement before he'd admitted it. Everything about PIA is super shady. rasengan has always been a bit off, and some of his comments show glaring holes in his knowledge of his own field. ryanlol nailed him to the wall pretty handily a few days ago. It's almost like some comments are normal, some are like the PR guy grabbed the keyboard. All I know is I wont touch PIA or Nord anymore

"but in aggregate that is an absolutely massive capital project"

Some people think that the damage to the natural world from climate change cannot be measured in financial terms...

...but if you choose to talk about costs that can be measured, what makes you think the cost of adjusting to climate change is comparable to or more than the cost of preventing it?

A long time ago, I wanted to put numbers on the externalities of a gallon of gasoline, and so I looked up an estimate of the costs of global warming (in 50-100 years) from the Natural Resources Defense Council. The amount was on the order of $3-6 per gallon. If you make the US and Venezuela pay European gas prices, it's not going to stop climate change.

Of course, in 50 years, things could be much worse than expected. But the expectations of non-deniers are what they are, so it seem necessary to engage with the question of, what do we do if internalizing the costs is not enough to change the trajectory? And what should we do?
> Most anti-depressants have almost no side effects for most people.

This isn't true for all anti-depressants, especially when you look at dosage.

For example, if you look at clinical trial data and studies for a certain drug, 60% of people experienced weight gain. Another drug caused nausea in nearly 70% of patients.

Paroxetine has a reported sexual dysfunction rate of nearly 75%, and patients who take 20mg of vortioxetine report a similar rate of sexual dysfunction after several weeks, but nearly none at all when taking 10mg daily.

Yeah, but gus_massa calculated the upper bound of the sunlight->electric current conversion using the material we were talking about, which seems like an improvement to me. However I don't know what the ballpark efficiency of solar heat plants is, so it could turn out to be not that big of a deal if current modern plants achieve similar levels of efficiency.

> Second, income does not have any downside risk, you can't lose money

That isn't correct. You can lose money with income. As a consultant you are on your own for expenses and can end up earning a negative rate if your expenses exceed your income rate. Whether or now those expenses are deductible against your income taxes is immaterial to the more immediate accounting at hand.

This gets bogged down discussing Boris a bit too much. But I do that pay for politicians needs to be improved. For me, the biggest issue is that politicians who lose their jobs are left without any pay. They know they can't win elections forever, so have to plan ahead. They could kowtow to every wish of their electorate, no matter how misguided and hope they do get re-elected. But the more likely option is to do a few small favours for corporate interests in exchange for a revolving door once they're out of power. Most members of Parliament/Congress get seats on the board of companies. Neither of these options is in the interest of our democracy.

I don't know what the solution is, but paying them a pittance while not making provisions for future income isn't a good idea I think.

In all honesty, I don't think I would use the buttons though. The API is the important piece. I could see me configuring this with IFTTT do button or something. Do things like order a week of groceries when I know I'm going to be home for a week, etc.

So, is something wrong with this description? If so, can anyone tell me what the problem is?

Unfortunately, the Senate didn't take up the bill. Still it is stunning that the Obama Administration and TSA would disregard the clear will of Congress on this issue. Here's the text of the amendment from THOMAS (no permanent link):

H.AMDT.172 (A010)
Amends: H.R.2200
Sponsor: Rep Chaffetz, Jason [UT-3] (offered 6/4/2009)

AMENDMENT DESCRIPTION:
Amendment prohibits the TSA from using Whole Body-Imaging machines for primary screening at airports; and would require the TSA to give passengers the option of a pat-down search in lieu of going through a WBI machine. The amendment also prohibits the TSA from storing, transferring, or copying any images resulting from going through a WBI machine.

AMENDMENT PURPOSE:
An amendment numbered 10 printed in House Report 111-127 to prohibit the TSA from using Whole Body-Imaging machines for primary screening at airports, and would require the TSA to give passengers the option of a pat-down search in place of going through a WBI machine, information on the images generated by the WBI, the privacy policies in place, and the right to request a pat-down search, and would prohibit the TSA from storing, transferring, or copying the images.
