Yes, I absolutely do. What if they want to find out what "people in general, according to Google" think and write about that? That question isn't even possible anymore, if you will.

> If someone from Vietnam searches for "Vietnam War"...should they be sent to the entry at vi.wikipedia.org because it's in Vietnamese and perhaps more relevant to the Vietnam user?

No, because "Vietnam War" is an English phrase. I doubt it's spelled that way in Vietnamese.

> of a worldview in which there is One True Web for everyone, which seems as problematic

How so? When I watch a movie, I see what everybody sees. If it's full of advertisement or laced with propaganda, I know it's that way for everybody. I think that has value in itself. Not every query is about getting what I want, sometimes I want to see "how the world is", and for that purpose Google, Facebook and others aren't helping with their being overly helpful. Others may feel different, but FWIW, I never heard anyone say that typing "ordering pizza in X" is just too much work compared to just typing "ordering pizza". Thinking such things are neat were, as far as I can tell, unilateral decisions made by these corporations. Nobody asked for it, nobody would miss it, and I think it's harmful just for destroying the idea of a "consensus reality" on the web even being possible.
That's right, the capitalist-libertarian answer is always "Fuck you, pay me", or in this case, "fuck you, die".

This is frequently not bribery. There are a few other mechanisms. One of them is regulatory capture. The other is what I'd call the 'boiling frog'-effect, where, if everyone is doing it and it has been going on since before you got into the business, your moral compass readjusts and you tolerate more wrongdoing than you should.

What you said resonates with a lot of Nietzsche's thought, a core theme of which was it is better to experience the overcoming, the removal of an obstacle under your own power, than to have the obstacle removed for you. Nietzsche's take: the former makes you a master, the latter, a slave. I agree: that this is a universal human desire, and I'd rather be moving under my own power than having to take from others for everything I do.

Solving procrastination has become a sort of my own personal overcoming. Self-motivation is one of the core problems of life that everyone has to solve, I feel. Forgiving myself is just one of the tactics in my arsenal.

For me, I see the ideal of me doing anything I set my mind to, easily, without loss of energy or "motivation" (in fact transcending these concepts), and that is so tantalizing, and I am so naturally not good at that, it becomes a great target of Overcoming for me, and has an effect of having a constant but large reduction in procrastination.

Technically you can do that with Python as well depending on your setup. Although you may need an extra step such as "touching" your wsgi.py file. If you aren't caching your templates[1] (which you should in production though), you can upload template files and see instant changes.

That's a problem because it means they, and their family, suffer unnecessarily. It's a problem because early intervention is cheaper and more likely to be effective.

Homeless people suffer. I don't like to see people suffer. I want to help people who are suffering so that their suffering stops.
At this time, about 70% of people who answered the poll on that page said they're lonely. Of course there is an obvious selection bias, but even so I find that number troubling. Loneliness is different from being alone, or single, or being a loner - it's a painful feeling of social isolation.

I wonder if those articles encouraging people to "just get over themselves" and be social are conveying the wrong message entirely. For some people that advice might be outright harmful. The more you're being told your salvation is other people, the more your pain and isolation grow. The media introduces yet another yardstick for you to fall short of.

At the extreme ends of the spectrum there are socialite extroverts, and eremites with no social desires, respectively. But most people fall in between. Being in a group (or a relationship for that matter) is not the universal cure for Weltschmerz. For most people, there is a balance between being social and being a lone individual, meaning you need both in a ratio that is appropriate to you.

College may be a bad example, social interactions are pretty available generally speaking. I think this advice is more targeted at people who are going long stretches with big, psychologically dangerous holes in their social "nutritional diet." This can happen much more easily later on.

That doesn't mean go to night clubs when you hate them, but it does mean that if you rely on chance, you could go without for a long time. You could join a book club, a political party, volunteer in a kennel, do street art, join a architectural restoration organization, boxing club, sex club or anything that you do like. The thing is that you need to plan something that will include the types of social interactions that you need for psychological health, if they are not serendipitously available in your lifestyle at a point in time.

As a counterpoint to your experiences, accepting invitations despite not feeling like going out works very well for me - at times when I'm feeling loneliness (or its onset) I almost always find that forcing myself to accept an invitation gives positive results.

Perhaps as suggested by another commentator here, the concept of loneliness is nuanced - e.g. you were looking for deep connections whereas usually I just want some fun companionship, or something like that.
Building Minimal Docker Image for Rails App
If a developer is asked to do something obviously wrong they might not feel they can refuse, because they can be replaced with someone willing to do it.

If an architect is asked to design a bridge that isn't safe they can refuse, secure in the knowledge they can't be replaced with someone willing to do it, as no licensed architect will knowingly design an unsafe bridge.

Of course, a licensing scheme would probably have a bunch of disadvantages.

Ada doesn't support safe GC-less memory allocation, which means it's either unsafe, far worse feature-wise than C or requires a GC which also makes it not strictly better than C.

As a consequence, it seems that if you use Ada's GC, you might as well use Java instead, and if you don't you might as well use C++ instead, which along with its unattractively verbose and not C-like syntax is probably why Ada is not very popular despite having been around for 30 years.

Homelessness is a lifestyle for majority of homeless people. What if you don't like other lifestyles? Would you as well go trying to "help", because you don't like it?

What about the children? Should we debate about their place in society instead of fixing the system that created homeless kids? That same question can be used to accuse the hug-away-homelessness types of perpetuating perverse incentives.

Physicist's "intuition" (as you put it) is educated by codifying our observations into mathematical equations, using those equations to make predictions, and performing experiments to verify those predictions.

Simply 'flipping around the "argument"' is playing with words and has no usefulness from a scientific point of view; it is definitely not "more intuitive" (as you put it) since it has nothing to do with science.

The idea to ban salt from restaurants
I'd say there are some successful efforts to regulate software in safety critical areas. The FAA comes to mind. I worked in the avionics industry for a while, and there are strict standards to which flight management and avionics displays software must be adhered. The DO-178 family of documents defines these standards/guidance/whatever. As a young engineer at the time, I remember two of thinks were were not allowed to do under DO-178B... Pointer math of any kind, and dynamic memory allocation.

These standards have been around a long time too.

I will add that in general, there is an inherent mismatch between "equational" math and computation, and there have been various approaches to bring the two closer, e.g. Hoare Logic, various process calculi and temporal logic (my personal favorite). Haskell's approach is basically using lambda calculus[1] to unify some computations such as 2+2=4 with 2+2 -computes-> 4 [2](Prolog goes one step further and unifies 2+2=4 with both 2+2 -computes-> 4 and 4 -computes-> 2+2, as equality is a kind of relation and Prolog is relational) and other computations as monads wrapping various "unsafe" operations[3]. It works, and it's quite elegant if LC as the one true expression of computation is your cup of tea. I think it's clear why this approach can be a fine design choice, but it's also clear why it can be not so fine. Personally I think that design doesn't sit too well with most programmers as a cognitive abstraction.

So the answer to "why are monads useful?" is that if for whatever reason (e.g. it makes programming easier for you) you decide to model computation as Haskell does, as LC and "equational reasoning", monads are invaluable as an elegant description of various computations that wouldn't otherwise be convenient to express. Once you use other approaches, monads (as a cognitive abstraction) quickly lose their usefulness and appeal.

[1]: Which is one common definition of computation and one of the "original three" definitions, but not a very good or powerful description of computation as it lacks good measures of complexity (it also lacks introspection which makes it less powerful than the Universal Turing Machine, but that is no a very common capability in programming languages other than Lisp).

[2]: In fact, "computational math" doesn't care in the least that 2+2 equals 4. All it cares about is the computation 2+2 -computes-> 4 (or 4 -computes-> 2+2, the latter is completely separate from and unrelated to the former). It is those various approaches of verifying computation that care about the relationship between 2+2=4 and 2+2 -computes-> 4, but those can (and should?) be completely separate from the programming language.

[3]: That split between some computations and others is exactly why a `sleep` operation in Haskell can be implemented to either be "effectful" (using monads) or "pure" (using only "pure" computation). That artificial distinction doesn't really have a rigorous definition in computation theory; rather, the definition of "pure" is a language-level design choice. For example, in Koka a divergent computation (i.e. infinite sleep) is an effect, but not a finite sleep; in Haskell, neither is an effect. In both Haskell and Koka, a stack overflow is not an effect and neither is memory allocation. OTOH, in Haskell spawning a new thread is considered an effect (which seems really weird to me). I hope that at this point it is clear that the distinction between "pure" and effect is arbitrary and not a fundamental concept of computation (aside, perhaps, from IO).
> (2.07 general population vs 1.27 for males without one of those issues)

Since substance misuse and the other disorders influence mortality rates of the ADHD population, it is not surprising that they affect mortality in the general population.

For the inference you seem to be making, I think you would need the mortality rate of males with no ADHD AND no substance misuse/etc. Based on the data given, I see no reason to think that is above 1.27.

If not, why are you limiting the consumer's rights? (this rabbit hole simply leads to companies only leasing consumer's devices, b/c selling them suddenly involves giving away all your trade secrets)

> Is it ethical to put people in cages who don't agree with you (or your group) on property redistribution?

(Fixed some typos ^)

Short answer: Yes.

Longer answer: Tax law is just like any other law. The fact that it affects property ownership doesn't make it different in any way than, say, differing views on spanking children or driving without a seat belt. Person A doesn't go to jail because he doesn't agree with persons B and C. Person A goes to jail if he breaks a law he agreed on together with B and C. Who among A, B and C actually voted for or against the law is irrelevant. 2 or 3 of them did. 0 or 1 did not.

> If you get enough people together, can they own the minority's property?

Not sure what you mean by that.

A majority can decide what the laws should be. Exactly what laws are possible is possible depends on the legal framework, such as constitutions and international conventions. Most countries have constitutions that in turn are based on international conventions such as the European Convention on Human Rights, which states that individual is entitled to "peaceful enjoyment of his possessions", subject to the "general interest or to secure the payment of taxes". Article 17 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights declares that "Everyone has the right to own property alone as well as in association with others" and "No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his property". This means that tax law basically has to conform to this: it can't be arbitrary. It applies to everyone. Could all the right handed people in a society decide that the income tax for left handed people is 100% and the income tax rate for right handed people is 0%? most likely not. Could 60% of the population decide that the taxes for the 40% with incomes over $100k is 100%? Probably, yes.

One thing I've noticed since using an e-reader that I've not heard anyone else mention, is that I've become far less happy with the quality of print and the quality of the paper in the physical books I'm buying. I once read a book [1] that had unusually high quality paper which made it noticeably denser and the pages had more flex in them, which made one handed reading a doddle. It wasn't flawless, as the print would smudge if I rubbed my slightly moist fingers against it.

Still, every time I go to a book now I'm usually thinking "the type is too large" or "that font is awful" or "the paper is too thick".

I think it's time the industry had another look at how paperbacks in particular should look and feel, given the influence of the e-reader.
