There is an alternative. Go somewhere else if the cost of living in this society is too high.

Earning a tax free living clearly isn’t a right according to the U.S. Constitution. Go elsewhere if the cost is too high or advocate for lowering the cost. It’s a strange position to take that the benefits of the society you live in ought to be free to you when those benefits have costs.
I would imagine that now English content would be even more easy to obtain as most mediums now support multiple languages flawlessly.
Where are the four unit tests in podman's codebase that should be catching these issues?

I find it very strange that your reaction is, "the software is infallible, it is _YOU_ who have failed the software by not logging bugs!" It is perfectly reasonable to have a conversation about the quality or issues with a piece of software SEPARATE TO the logging or finding of bugs in said software.
It really isn't a joke. It tracks changes in cost of living pretty well.

The real mystery is why the fed is committing to supply side economics in a demand starved economy. That's the exact opposite of what you should do.
I don’t think this should be downvoted.

Did Marx address the notion that collection of rents on capital create an incentive for the creation of more capital?

How did Marx address the case of MCM transactions where the capitalist has erred and lost money?
Sealed documents for ongoing cases being on a server, fine. But for closed cases? Those should only be in hard copy. Indices, at most, could be digital.
I used their software, and it’s not the best I’ve used.

I often skip login and reload and it logs me in as a system user. It probably shouldn’t do that.
They require processing of a very high level nuclear waste which is extremely nasty to work with and in limited supply. So, there really isn’t much in the way of economies of scale to work towards.

You can think of the upper limit for RTG’s as the amount of heat generated by spent nuclear fuel which worldwide doesn’t add up to that much power. Basically RTG’s don’t really generate extra heat just recycle and sort the spent fuel by isotope to get a dense power source.
Maybe he means an old m68k or some z80 speccy opening Gopher sites.
Rental roommates are jointly and severally liable, but in a corporation everybody gets to pass the buck
>Does everyone in the Capitol with access to classified material have the necessary skills and incentives not to make notes about them on their personal computer?

Access to classified information comes with training on properly handing classified information.

Mishandling classified information is a crime if you have a security clearance
No governor lists all the powers granted by previous legislatures as things they are running on. If you don't like them having such powers, elect people to remove such powers.

That you don't like it does not mean the majority of civil society doesn't like it, and the price you pay to have civil society is having laws not every single person likes at all times. But the mechanism is there to pursue change.

Sunlight activates hundreds of genes, do you think vitamin d is the only variable in this equation?
real work = putting a load on the CPU, as in making the CPU do work. Your text editor does not count.

In almost every instance of someone using a laptop for heavy CPU work, there is certainly a better, more practical reason to use a desktop. There is no need to sit at a coffee shop and make music, unless you do not have access to a studio or even your parent's garage. Video editing will not be done out in the field. It will, if done professionally, be in a quiet room with the proper equipment. Most of the time, someone that insists that doing either of these is just fine on a laptop, is someone that is young, broke, and doesn't have access to the proper tools for the job. Of course, the person pointing this out will get many downvotes...
Define "productive." I define it as the marginal value added by a unit of labor input. Otherwise, productivity is just a feeling.
> As an industry we have no objective measures for what makes code "better", so in many ways these debates are pointless.

I don't know why people keep saying this. We write code to solve problems. The best code solves the most problems in the most correct and efficient ways.

Regardless of your measure of efficiency, if someone cannot quickly tell if your code is correct, does what is intended, and does or does not apply to their problem, then the code isn't good.

That's your measure: Can the people who want to solve the problem you are trying to solve efficiently identify, evaluate, and employ your attempted solution?
I've been trying to get my mind around this kind of stuff for maybe a year. And I have to say that monads don't look like the solution to any of the problems that I actually face or have ever faced, in a thirty-year career.

So, no, it's not just that the words are unfamiliar. It's that the problems that they're trying to solve are so abstract that they're completely disconnected from the work that I actually do.

And before you tell me that I'm really doing this stuff without realizing it: Maybe so. That doesn't mean that my life would be improved by doing it explicitly.

It seems to me that the "everything is category theory" approach has the same over-abstraction problem that the Java "AbstractFactoryFactoryFactory" approach has, and deserves to be as frequently mocked.
Here is my dilemma as I consider if I should double down on JavaScript and adopt it on the severside. Is there an alternative for the web? and publishing as a whole?

We are a small shop. Two people and hope to grow. We publish a web database. Our market is academics, libraries, and scholars. Our Data must be kept in XML. It just makes the most senese.

But we are spread over a half dozen different languages. Halfway proficient at all of them, but as we move around to a new project and set one language aside to pick up the other we regress. What we had known must be relearned, the way we were thinking must be retrained.

If we created our web services, our internal API's, our production system all largely in the same language we should, I think, we come more proficient and quicker in this language. At the end of the day we need a well functioning, modern web application. So I have no alternative but to be very current in javascript it feels.

Might as well set aside our old Java 5 app. Might as well not create a new python project as fun as it is for me when I am the only one that can understand the python. Might as well stop pouring all my efforts into a silo. Why note double down on javascript.

A key source of inspiration for this line of thinking is from a conference presentation I saw given from some at O'riely. They were experimenting with their upstream source of their products being HTML5. The HTMLBook[1] project seems to logical enough. Their output is almost exclusively HTML. Be it on the web, the ereader (epub/mobi) or with the PDF. They were using Attenahouse to convert HTML to PDF using CSS.

Why mess around with several different languages. Keep it simple, and produces nice things quickly. If they aren't as nice as you hope refactor. With not having to retrain parts of your brain for javascript as you were working on a Python project exclusively for the last month and a half we should be that much quicker.

Perhaps your use case is better suited to a traditional RDMS then, like MySQL or Postresql. Mongo is specifically marketed as a high performance database, which is why this is the default.
Same thing with the api and jobs links in the footer.
Wow, if only book writers followed your advice, we might have something decent to read!
Bloggers is a highly heterogeneous group so it's important to understand the true addressable market (how many on wordpress, how many write content that is review-worthy, how frequently do they write, do they have their own domain, are they trying to make money, etc etc). Otherwise, it's akin to saying "my market is internet users".
Yup, I think one of those "password"s is mine. I truly couldn't care less about the security of my Gawker account. If they eliminated the password field entirely and just let people type whatever username they want, it'd be fine with me.
Technorati reports 112M blogs, most are not super talented like PG or other top bloggers (OK essayists). I count my self in that category. So there's quite a few that would fit my target market.
Why not use a list comprehension for that? Like:

my_list = [[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6]]
my_other_list = [ elem[1:] for elem in my_list ]

You could also reassign the my_list name to your processed list, but changing the state of things (you are not really changing anything here, just calling something different by an already known name) is very un-functional.

As for your second example, I would consider using "yield".
Your comment paints a picture of an economist who would happily liquidate his family for enough cash. This indicates a weak grasp of the field. Economists are quite happy to discuss things that are "economically beneficial" (or, to use the jargon, "utility") not merely as a specific amount of cold hard cash (modulo the risk of prosecution) but in terms of all the things that people value, like family and love and human decency and maybe even having your soul rot in Hell for murder if you happen to believe in such things.

Indeed, understanding that money is just a means to Utility is very important to understanding economics in general, especially when you start getting into macro topics like Inflation where the value of money fluctuates. And any economic analysis which hides important costs or benefits (like Values) off the balance sheet is bound to produce nonsense results.

Perhaps if you'd taken an introductory course in the topic, you would have been disabused of these notions. Cute straw-man, though.
I wouldn't say "completely defeats". The hacks are usually there only when you need to manage the lifetime of something that's not managed by the garbage collector. I've seen it used for mutexes, for example, to keep a mutex alive and locked.

You could say that the problem is that people abuse the garbage collector to manage something it shouldn't manage, or you could say that the problem is that garbage collectors are bad at managing anything that isn't memory. (I would lean towards the latter.)
> I've found their financial aid to be horrendous. The only real options are RAships and TAships. I don't consider these to be "aid packages" because they entail a tremendous amount of work.

Not saying that being a TA is by any means "easy," but come on. Complaining about having to work while being at one of the greatest universities in the world is a bit whiny, is it not?

You don't have to go to graduate school. It's a choice. If you want to be a career academic, you're grinding it out now for what could be a cushy life.
Unikernels are a step toward rethinking the operating system for modern infrastructure.
Sounds like a particularly nasty bug.

Especially as there's nothing preventing the "fix" from being optimized out by the JVM, which would reintroduce the problem all over again.
Hahah...Hi, Nolan. I was actually just talking to my co-founder about whether we could find some budget to hire you. And, perhaps we can work out some kind of barter, as well. I know you've got some of your own projects, maybe I can be useful on one or more of those, in exchange.
The real answer imo? Stanford is a luxury, and not even a particularly compelling one at that. Are there amazing professors and cutting edge research at the university? Of course. But is it necessary? In my opinion it would be really hard to make a case for it.

Just a social aspect to it, but can be good. meet someone or meet a new employee-founder, recruit people.

I like WebNX, but there are plenty of options depending on what you need and where you want it.
I definitely struggled with that bit of copy. Thanks for the suggestion.
To underscore the point, I've found Windows drivers come in two flavors. Either OS-specific - meaning Windows XP, Vista 32-bit, Vista 64-bit, and Windows 7 (both 32 and 64 bit as well), along with OS X and Linux (cough they're both CUPS), which means I have to download the drivers 4 or 5 times; or a massive 300 megabyte (bandwith is cheap, but that's just a bit big) download, and OS X/Linux is usually a separate download anyway. I don't even remember what hacks I had to do to get the drivers for all the flavors of Windows drivers to so other people could use my print server.

It's so much nonsense that if someone needs to print something, most people find it easier to copy the file to my computer and print it from there, rather than setup my (networked, auto-driver installing) printer on their computer.
That's not exactly correct.
Poker is a game of probabilities, which means that it has built in varience, which people call "luck". In a game of poker where two "grand masters of poker" play againt each other in a vacuum (i.e. one tournament, or one hand, or whatever you want), the result may be determined by the cards alone. HOWEVER, as is the nature of varience and probability, given a sufficiently large sample of hands/tournaments/sessions, the better player WILL converge to be a winner. The margin by which he is a winner will be determined by his skill.

Prior to focusing primarily on startups and entrepreneurship, I spent a lot of time playing a lot of online poker. I've put in close to a million hands over a few years at the micro/small stakes, and I've seen bad beats, I've had bad beats, I've put on bad beats, which can all be attributed to "luck", and the swings of the day can be attributed to luck, but over the entire life time of my game, you can certainly see gradual improvement that can be attributed to skill.

When we look at televised tournament poker (not shows like Poker After Dark / High Stakes Poker, where the players need only to have the sufficient buy in and/or be invited to participate), it is not particularly surprising to see the same "grandmasters" (or pros, or whatever oyu want to call them) appear over and over again. Yes, they don't win every tournament, or every hand, or every session, but in the long term, they do win (assuming they don't start playing poorly).
Indeed, but great-grandparent's assertions that said votes are reliably democratic are nonsense. Cuban-Americans tend to vote Republican (ask Marco Rubio), there are plenty of other Hispanics who vote Republican (ask Rafael "Ted" Cruz), and in fact, in the 2020 elections, Republicans have picked up votes in all sorts of immigrant communities (all the more remarkable, in my opinion, because it's hard to think how much less welcoming the party could be to immigrants).

And some of the most rabid Trump supporters are recent immigrants (cf the Epoch Times' role in the last years, or the fact that one of the arrested Capitol rioters, Yevgenya Malimon, mother of an Oregon Republican party official, needed a Russian interpreter at her arraignment).

Think of other right wing voices in the US: Peter Thiel (first generation immigrant), Ron Unz (second generation), Roosh V (second generation).

Meanwhile, one of the key demographics for Biden's win in Arizona was high turnout among — Native Americans, the Final Boss of non-immigrants.
>Genuinely cool idea, but how would this work from a technical perspective?

These platforms already have APIs to share content between servers within their networks. Just provide an interface for external servers.

>And if anyone could cross-post content on any platform, wouldn't the platforms argue that it violates their right to control content on their platforms?

That's what federation is for. As long as I can authenticate to my account, what difference does it make whether a post is interactively entered or sent via an API?

Those platforms still have their own TOS, so they can decide how or if they want to moderate any individual post.

Something along the lines of Diaspora[0] or ActivityPub[1] federation.

>And what happens if you get a concerted effort across platforms to block individuals based on political/moral stances? Within 2 days (I think) Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Redit and others have suspended and/or blocked content from Trump and various Trump supporters. The ex-first lady is asking "big-tech" to take additional actions, whatever that means.

That's the beauty of a decentralized environment. I can host my own federated server or connect to any other federated server. Presumably, someone will be willing to host your content.

And if not[2], you can do it yourself.

The best part is you can control where your data is shared and who gets to see it. If you don't want the big boys to host your stuff, you can use federation to share with others on those platforms.

All of which can democratize the environment and allow you to be in control of your data, not the rapacious scumbags that run FB or Twitter.

Neat project.

Its obvious to me that this will not get any channels.

Should you change it to "TinyTV" to protect yourself legally since its not really a TV?
Neither one's really a pipe dream anymore. Solar+wind+hydrogen is at the point where it can replace all fossil fuels.

This doesn't mean you can't have nuclear, but it's no longer necessarily.
what do you mean by zero-rating?
Do you have any information on how this ended?
I don't understand how people can confidently draw such equivalencies. Just looking at the frequency of the two types of events.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_racial_violence_in_the_Un...

How many is that? I can't even count. More than 50, less than 100? Versus 10, possibly way less, depending on what kind of comparisons one wants to draw? [1]

Doesn't this point exactly to the significance of what happened on the 6th? Race riots have been happening in the United States for a hundred some years. They are obviously not significant in achieving the goals of the rioters. Meanwhile the storming of seats of power by an ousted leaders' supporters has the potential to change history. The former is a passing event, the latter is a rare event with some potential to change global history.

Just how much lower it would get cannot be discerned from available data yet. It is very hard to believe from current data that it would go all the way to zero and also very hard to believe that fixing all vitamin D deficiency would not save any lives. The confidence interval range in between is still large, but it is absolutely (past) time to act on the data because it is so unlikely to not help (or even not help a lot). And the data is so far consistent with the possibility that it could help so much that it would have reduced the pandemic to no worse than prior flu seasons had everyone's vitamin D been brought up above 30ng/ml before SARS-CoV-2 arrived.
Well, in the U.S. and Europe people who actually produce something are hindered by bureaucrats and ideologues.

It is no wonder that valuable knowledge moves to Asia.
Nokian is the new parent brand name for Hakkapeliitta, which is a Finn tire company with a long and proud tradition (particularly as it concerns ice and snow tires). Never tried the bike tires -- the area where I grew up prohibits bicycles from November 1 to March 31 -- but their car tires very rarely went "square" (anybody who lives where -40 happens will know what I mean).
Isn't that splitting hairs? Two sides of the same subject. You'd have to be really short-sighted to not see the other side of the coin. :)
I see the same patterns.

I'd add this: when you receive the "your app needs more time to review" email, it seems like your app is bumped into a "needs supervisor approval" queue.

In my experience, it takes up to 24 hours for Apple Developer Relations to call you and explain the cause of the hold up.

I've seen this multiple times and it's always for some specific situations that are not explicitly covered in the guidelines - i.e. they need further clarification about copyright ownership, or maybe they just need to explain what needs to be changed in order to pass their review.
I didn't say "lack of labour", I said "cost of labour".
It's zero-sum in the sense that you have a finite amount of time to spend. If you spend time on one thing, it necessarily means spending less time somewhere else.
Aye. The cast of TSS has remained pretty close. I don't listen to TWiT anymore, but I remember Patrick Norton used to be (may still be) a regular guest.
His support van is right behind him. Swap the wheel and change the tire in the shop.

If you're commuting, just buy studded tires. Amazon has them and two-day shipping is free :)
We've been getting 2-3 week update approvals and it is killing us on getting bug fixes out. Last year we'd often get 3 day updates. If there is a priority queue, We are on the wrong end of it.
Our server load is already pretty high right now as it is, so we can't really afford to provide the service without this slight barrier.
Around where I live the preferred term is "cidiot". I find it to be refreshingly creative.
They have significantly higher brand value than Regus, which does merit a premium though probably not 5x.
>What actually brought about the change was that due entirely to the fact that people in power had relatives that were gay, or were gay themselves.

The people in power had gay relatives or were gay themselves a century ago and yet nothing changed without activism.
You just described the US in the world scenario, including forcible suppression of China opposition to US capitalism/imperialism. The strong regimentation is done by US tech and brands. The dictatorial power is the military might and occupations in every corner of the world.
Pay attention to the narrative shift: it went from "build your own platform," to now calls for removing those alternatives entirely (https://twitter.com/slpng_giants/status/1347522919992336387).

The end goal is total censorship.
The person receiving the sperm would be the person spending their time sifting through the donor’s social media for proof.

The comment I responded to referred to cutting out middlemen and meeting with the donors directly.
They do promote free speech, from all sides. Just join and give your opinion if you do not agree with something.
And if not the courts, maybe Congress needs an Election Commission to investigate election irregularity claims?
Fair points. Thanks for the well-reasoned reply.
It’s https://sci-hub.do/ or https://sci-hub.ren (that .tech and .org domains are different organizations)

To be sure try searching for some random paywalled academic paper on their site
That's amazing. Breast cancer is a common killer. Do you plan to write about it? Would love to read about. it.
I think the "Angles" removal demonstrates the optimization is unsound. The "optimized" code gives out a result when a correctly optimized one would give a ReferenceError. This optimizer ignores invalid code (that references a non-existent thing) and happily short-circuits it.

The only reason to trust this code to do other optimizations well is all the evidence it's targeted at one specific benchmark.
