What makes it a 'communist' regime if it doesn't fit the communist ideology?

> While corporations in capitalism are also hierarchical, the risk to ruining your life is much less, because you can always change the corporation and start with a clean slate.

That must be why there are no jobless, homeless, poor people in America.

So how do your children eat if you don't have a job?

> Even in hierarchical system of corporation, this gives you freedom that is incomparable to being in prison or under totalitarian government.

So you're telling working for a corporation isn't the same as being in prison? Wow, much insight.

Yeah. The author should learn to sight read music. Oh, and do it with every instrument in the orchestra too, not just piano. Then maybe you'd be qualified to suggest improvements to notation.

When you actually learn to read music you quickly discover that you don't "see" the notes but instead see the intervals. You simply can't see intervals between characters from the Latin alphabet.

There are no spaces for sharps and flats because those are accidentals. If your melody contains a ton of accidentals then it's not in the key you think it's in.

I'm a geek, and I understand where the author is coming from. But music is played by musicians. This is all useful information if you want to program a synthesiser. But it's pretty much useless if you want to actually play music. Music is read by people who actually play music.

I agree that the methodology could probably be improved. If we're optimizing for psychological comfort for the prisoner and certainty of the process working, I'd actually recommend a close-range shot to the head with a high caliber bullet.

Depending on the distance and round, not only will the prisoner not experience their own death (they won't see or even hear it coming), it's astronomically unlikely to fail. High velocity rounds will pierce through the tissue more quickly than it can physically tear, and will technically exit the body before the brain matter has begun tearing. The physics of this is fascinating, because it not only ultimately destroys significant brain tissue; the process stretches out the tissue, straining and damaging the rest of the surviving brain tissue.

Of course, this is not optimized to be clean. It's gruesome, but I don't think it's necessarily cruel. One moment they're alive, the next they're not. Blunt force is still the quickest way to induce a cessation of consciousness. If the prisoner were not aware of it happening, they would probably be at greater peace at the time of their death. This could also be done remotely so as to reduce the mental toll on the executioner.

Unfortunately, it would make an open casket unlikely. But I imagine most prisoners due to be executed experience a lot of terror in the hours, days and weeks preceding their final moments under the current system. I imagine living with that anticipation is horrifying for some.

From what I can understand through cursory research, morphine is a painless way to die, so much so that doctors use it to ease patients into death when there is an acceptable lack of available treatment. Extreme euphoria followed by unconsciousness doesn't sound like a bad way to do.

I would hold the maxim that killing is wrong when it is not absolutely necessary. A stone-age tribe does not necessarily have the calories just to keep someone imprisoned. A modern society most certainly does. There is no "need" for the government to force people sully their consciences by partaking in an institutional murder.

Back in the 2000's (age of J2ME featurephones and when 3G networks were only starting to flourish) there was this Spanish carrier that had a separate APN for sending MMS (with a proxy that only allowed access to the actual MMS server, that billed by sent message) and another one for ordinary data (which was, of course, expensive at the time).

After some fiddling, I found out that the filtering proxy was banning access to anything other than http://mms.provider.es*. Note how there was not a trailing slash.
You could access any domain like http://mms.provider.eswhatever.freedns.org and it would happily proxy you to the outside internet. As the billing was done on the MMS server and not in the proxy, you could pretty much open any HTTP connection to any proxy that had a domain like that pointed to it.

Some deep browsing (too much free time) led to Filipino forums sharing hacked versions of Opera Mini and other popular apps that let you change the Opera proxy endpoint to other custom domain that then was pointed to Opera's own servers - probably because of similar separate tricks.

Oh, old times...
Yeah, but you can easily copy-paste the generated html into a file. Just append '?export' to the URL. I definitely would use it in that way.
I disagree with some of the claims, as I think these sorts of edge-cases mostly serve to highlight how imprecise the given pure/impure distinction is, and how we can't always take a semantic concept from one language (e.g. Haskell) and apply it in another (JS).

For example, if you always get "TypeError" when calling "sum()", you can replace "sum()" with its result ("throw TypeError") and get the same behaviour; it doesn't break referential transparency, so is it "pure"? What do we even mean by "result" in a language with exception handling? Do thrown exceptions count, or only return values?

Similarly, using "valueOf" doesn't show that the sum function is impure, it shows that the sum function is higher-order. If we mapped 'Math.random' over an array, does that make 'map' impure? What does it mean to be pure/impure when any variable can be replaced by a 'valueOf' function/procedure?

If two expressions call the same procedures, the same number of times, in the same order, and return the same pure function of their outputs, are those two expressions the same? Would replacing one with the other maintain referential transparency, and does that imply "purity"?

I think the answer is that such examples need more fine-grained notions than just "pure"/"impure". Otherwise it's just arguing over the semantics of English, rather than semantics of programs.

It's obviously not about debris/hairs/dust but germs.

In other words, if a person saw hairs/dust/debris in their jam that fell on the floor, they wouldn't eat it anyway.

But if something less sticky (and more solid) was dropped, say an apple or a pizza piece that fall on the bread side, they might pick it up, sweep it a little, and eat it.

In fact, 5-second-rule or not, most people will be fine for doing so anyway, as long as they do it on their relatively clean home -- with germs that they are usually in contact anyway.

Sure there is. What is your definition of "hallowed"? By implication, I believe the author used it to mean "killing is always wrong", or "life must always be preserved."

Is that is indeed the definition, #1 and #3 are directly incompatible. This is the problem with using words like "hallowed" in philosophical debates. One person uses a word without defining it, and they intend it one way. Then the other party argues with their imperfect and improvised understanding of the word's definition, and no one gets anywhere. This is how we end up with six people debating whether or not "the good always matches the beautiful", and it's one of the reasons philosophy as a discipline has a bad reputation to outsiders.

If you dig deep enough, what will often happen is one or more parties will try to create an empirical definition and the other parties will just use circular definitions until it's clear they're not saying anything at all.

If "hallowed" doesn't mean "must always be preserved", I'm not sure it can mean anything of consequence to the debate. You could define it as "must be preserved unless there is a justifiable reason not to", but then you're not saying anything new. It's redundant.

> Yet we have an inherited notion that it is deeply sinful to survive without working hard for it, and equally sinful for many to prosper while few labor. As a result we must endlessly invent placeholder positions for people to fill (all of those second assistant deputy administrative oversight whatever jobs that let people show up and pretend to be useful), lest they have no "work" to do anymore and thus no claim to a share of the production capacity.

I agree that the US has a widespread cultural belief in the virtue of work and the sinfulness of laziness.

That said, I don't think it's quite as simple, or as centrally planned, as you're making it out to be.

When a company hires a lot of people into vague roles that don't really add much value it more often than not seems to be driven by ego and power struggles among existing employees. For example, a VP who is anxious about seeming important and also eager for a promotion might hire a big team of lower level managers whose work adds dubious value because overseeing a team of 100, including several layers of management, is often seen as more impressive (and a better qualification for senior leadership) than overseeing a team of 10 - even if that small team is super efficient and gets just as much work done. And while the efficient 10-person team leader is probably a better manager and better-suited for executive leadership overall, there is some logic behind promoting the person who built out an unnecessarily large team. Leading a larger group of people with lots of layers is a distinct skill, and one that is pretty hard to practice. The person with the big team at least has done it before. Hiring a lot of useless roles is kind of like dressing for the job you want, on the company's dime.

In any case, I think these kinds of personal and organizational dynamics are a much bigger driver of fluffy, low-value-add jobs than any kind of feeling of cultural obligation to provide employment to middle managers.
I was thinking the same thing with OCaml. I wrote in OCaml years ago and I still remember how incredibly terse the language is/was. You can accomplish so much with very few lines of code (with the minor exception of the whole reduplicate signatures and way too many artifacts (mli, cmi, ml, etc)). It also compiles much faster than Rust (I'm not sure about Go but since Go doesn't have that sophisticated type system it isn't really fair).

I have to say Rust got fairly hard to read and think about writing code with lifetimes when using closures. I couldn't decide at times whether to just use a trait with some cells or get the closure stuff working. This was in part because of some bugs (about 1.5 years ago) and the fact that their are 4 types function things. It is also probably because I haven't programmed in anything analogous that has lifetimes (I haven't programmed in C++ in more than 1.5 decades).

If there were no false positives in the justice system, your argument might be reasonable. There's always a chance a person will be mistakenly given life without parole. They can be released, an executed person cannot. I guess it depends whether a) you have more trust in the justice system than evidence would support, or b) you think the false positives (dead innocents) are a reasonable price to pay.

Additionally, people can and do kill themselves in prison: there is a way out of serving a full-life sentence that doesn't involve judicial killing.

We could apply the same logic to life imprisonment. An innocent person forced to endure the absolute horror or life imprisonment -- I would rather die.

What's the difference? Dead or locked in a horrible box for life? We euthanize sick cats; we don't make them suffer needlessly. I would argue life imprisonment is a punishment more severe than death.

Just by way of disclosure, I have witnessed two executions in Texas back when I worked for Reuters. I spent a lot of time on death row, interviewing prisoners as well as families, so I don't have a positive feeling about the death penalty... however I contend that life inprisonment is even worse.
