>There are a number of readily plausible accounts of metaethical naturalism that are available to the atheist. See, for example, Firth 1952, Railton 1986, Boyd 1988, Brink 1989, Smith 1994, or Foot 2001. My point is not that any of these accounts are correct (although I think that some of them are fairly likely to be true). Rather, my point is that if they are false, they are not obviously false. This means that they present the atheist with plausible accounts of objective morality that feature only natural facts, overturning claim (c) and, therefore, claim (a) as well.

>Claim (d) fails on two fronts. First, there are non-natural facts that can serve as truth makers for moral claims that are available to atheists and, second, any problem that the atheist faces with regards to these facts the theist faces just as badly. I take the first horn to be supported by the possibility of irreducibly normative properties, Platonic or otherwise, that are available to the atheist. Recent defenses of such views include Shafer-Landau 2003, Cuneo 2007, Wedgwood 2007, Enoch 2011, and Cuneo & Shafer-Landau 2014.

>On the latter point, that the theist faces the same problems as the atheist when it comes to non-natural normative facts (if there are any such problems), I agree with Heathwood 2012 that there cannot be any coherent theistic moral constructivism which does not refer to some irreducibly normative properties. Properties that are equally available to the atheist.

Yes. This doesn't strike me as an especially productive line of attack, but maybe I'm missing something (hopefully not obvious), maybe I'm just not imaginative enough, and/or maybe I'm underestimating how much effort people might be willing to put into such an endeavour.

This did get me thinking about the problem a bit this evening though. The 6502 is an awful target for many higher-level languages, but I think you could compile something like C, if you treat zero page as the stack for locals, and index it by X. The programmer would need to be aware of the target's rather tiresome limitations, but you'd get somewhat passable code at least.

(Unlike absolute addressing, you do pay a 1-cycle penalty for indexed zero page accesses, but what can you do? You need to store things in zero page to handle pointers.)

Suppose you had a function with a couple of locals, like this:

void strip(char *p,char c) {
unsigned char *dest=p;
do {
if(*p!=c) *dest++=*p;
} while(*p++!=0);
}

So you'd store c (1 byte), then p (2 bytes), and then once the space for locals is reserved, zero page starting from the address in X would look like this:

+0, +1 = dest
+2, +3 = p
+4 = c

So the ideal generated code would go along these lines:

DEX:DEX ; reserve space for locals
LDA 2,X:STA 0,X:LDA 3,X:STA 1,X ; dest=p
.L0
LDA (2,X) ; *p
CMP 4,X
BEQ L1 ; taken when *p==c
STA (0,X) ; *dest=*p
INC 0,X:BNE L2:INC 1,X:.L2 ; ++dest
.L1
LDA (2,X) ; *p
INC 2,X:BNE L3:INC 3,X:.L3 ; ++p
CMP #0
BNE L0 ; taken when *p!=0
INX:INX
RTS

I don't think many people would write code like that by hand, but it's not completely insane given the requirements.

This has actually now piqued my interest enough to make me think about actually coding something, so I guess that answers the question about how much effort somebody might be willing to put into such an endeavour.

Other thoughts:

- since ZP,X costs like ABS,Y, maybe have a second stack in main memory for non-pointers and index it with the Y register (the RMW instructions don't have an appropriate addressing mode though)

- you could statically allocate zero page for many programs, which would make it easier to use the (ZP),Y addressing mode

- turning canned snippets (like the INC/BNE/INC) into routines would probably be rarely beneficial, since getting the address into X is rather involved

- I've never used a C compiler for the 6502 so maybe they all do this anyway ;)

Naturally, for anything interesting (eg fitting a lasso penalized GLM) SAS (and others) encourage you to simply call out to R. (I will now wait for someone to amuse me by bringing up the misleadingly named PROC in SAS that does L1 regularization... to linear models.)

I can use either, personally I prefer R. Or Python. Or scala. Or really anything that isn't SAS. I feel dirty after using it.
Burying heads in sand works when you can't take the data feed coming into said head. Christians make circular arguments to substantiate their beliefs, and those arguments are typically based on fairly trustworthy lessons. The only problem is, those circular arguments substantiate a singular all knowing god who is represented through the lense of a book a bunch of humans wrote 2,000 years ago. Marketing changes, but base concepts remain the same.
The NIST study graphic matched another from the book Code Complete, to illustrate the cost of defects. I did not have access to the CC graph so I used it instead.

Do you believe the larger point (about cost of defects) is incorrect? Your g+ critique seems to take issue with the details of the study, but I missed an assertion it is wrong.

As to the wikipedia timeline, I cherry picked from it. The point being to pick the important things a student should know, not list everything possible. Seems your WP edits didn't make it through?

Solar is even more practical if your lander can bounce back and forth between the surface and high altitude. Instead of a rover type design, you could make a lander that's kind of halfway between a submersible and an airship. The lander would descend to the surface, hang out for a while doing sciency stuff, then when the coolant starts to run low it would ascend to high altitude, use solar panels to rebuild the coolant supply (you could just use nitrogen from the atmoshpere), and then it could descend again.

I always like to position nihilism like this:

Just because there is no meaning with life does not mean there isn't meaning in life.

You cannot be a nihilist by action only by intellect because you cannot not have a value system where somethings are prioritized over others.

The very fact that you need to pee, don't want to die, love your kids and so on are all things that create this value system in life.

Being a nihilist is mostly an analytical framework more than it's a way of life.

The good thing is that those "in life" values we all come with are mostly enough to create stable societies and human lifes.

Or put a completely different way.

Nihilist do not find meaning with life, but plenty in life.

These types of programming are different, but not in the way you describe. It's not the cliche of CRUD LOB vs. "Cool things", but of making apps targeted at the end user vs. creating a shared infrastructure (whether it is a library or a cloud service), and there are many levels down that rabbit hole.

But that being said, Unless you are working for a very conventional small or midsize business with no plans of rapid growth (and businesses of these rarely employ large teams that need leadership anyway), it's never going to be "just CRUD" or just slapping a client GUI in front o a database backend". With large datasets or many users you have to plan your storage and query patterns for scalability, when precision is crucial you have to design for consistency when a real-time response is required you need to reduce latency and when business requirements change often you need to design for flexibility, when your company has multiple clients you need to design a good API, and so on. In most cases you must balance between several requirements, and I haven't even gotten to security yet, which is a too often neglected requirement for almost every system out there. I also didn't touch all the peripheral requirements for having automated tests (and designing for testability), designing a CI pipeline and educating junior devs about revision control workflows and DevOps practices.

Handling all of that doesn't require the same technical skills required for writing kernel code, a ray tracing engine or a database engine (all of them different skills in their own respect), but to be able to design a good system and give guidance to junior developers you definitely need more than 2-3 years of experience.

Yes, many companies choose to ignore what I've just said, and hire low-level programmers anyway, and often put an MBA (who did some formulas in Excel back then) to (micro-)manage them. Of course the products they turn out are buggy, hard to upgrade, fall down to pieces under the smallest hint of load, end up requiring expensive hardware, have gaping security holes and all-in-all cost their failings end up costing the business dearly.

This blasé approach to group 1 development is very common in the so-called "enterprise world", but that's just because the organizational elite over there (as opposed to most of Silicon Valley) is not even tangentially technical. That's understandable: take a CS-driven company like Google or an engineer-driven company like Facebook, and you'll get the mirror image. But there's no cold truth about programming skill not being a big deal here. Group 1 development is at the very least as demanding a skill as plumbing.

I think that's using too narrow a definition of pleasurable. Isn't the (pleasurable) time spent with your parents worth the trade-off of caring for them?

This is a great set of suggestions.

On the cooking side of things, I found I was spending a lot of money buying lunches. Sydney is a VERY expensive city: a 'cheap' lunch in the CBD costs at least $7. So, we're talking about saving at least $35-50 per week. Over a year, that's approx $1500-2000 per year. And often, it's not as good as things I like to make for myself.

So I cook double-or-triple the quantities of recipes on the weekends... I take pride in making complex curries, slow-cooked casseroles and the like. Usually, doubling or tripling the quantities does not change the cooking time significantly and there are economies of scale with the costs as well.

Then, I package up the extra into lunch and dinner-sized portions for myself, wife and family for the week in the freezer.

This way, we all get cheap lunches (cost approx $1-2) and gain extra time at dinner during the weekdays (no cooking! just re-heat and add rice/salad/veges).

I'd say that as well as saving $1500-2000 per year, it's also saved us an hour or 3 every single week. Frankly, it's worth it if just for the time saved.

It's not just the improvement in spatial resolution, but in temporal resolution, too.

Realizing many comments down that you are wading into unwanted territory makes the side column incredibly useful to pulling the rip cord as it were.

Each comment has a significant vertical footprint(at least 2 lines after the upvote triangle) on mobile so maybe this opinion is biased, but I am also of the mindset that users shouldn't be alienated to a separate app to cover a relatively simple wart removal.

Heck, having a visible column in the left position to flick up or down for a collapse or return to parent becomes increasingly useful. But now I'm on a new tangent.

That blast happened at about 12,000' elevation.

"Passengers on a Daallo Airlines flight leaving from Mogadishu were subjected to just about the most terrifying experience imaginable on Tuesday as a bomb exploded in the plane's passenger cabin somewhere above 12,000 feet."

Note that while 12,000 feet is well above sea level, it's only 4,000 feet above effective internal cabin altitude of 8,000'. So the fuselage stresses are vastly lower than those at 29,000'. The pressure differential is about 10 pa (pascals), vs. about 40 pa at 29,000'. That's roughly 1.5 psi vs. 11.5 psi -- there's nearly 10x the pressure differential at FL29.
