I don't think swimming pools are that sterile:

Do they, really? Ethics and rules in war are a luxury, and usually imposed by the rich and dominant. When things are truly desperate it all flies out the window. I think history (and its multitude of atrocities, including by the US) supports this view.

By American ideology I meant that everyone can become anything they want if only they work hard. Everyone can be a hero and defy their fate. Therefore if someone is in need, it's their fault for not working hard enough. If they don't have the money to afford medicine, then they don't deserve it, end of story.

And additionally, a gut-level fear of government and way too much trust in corporations.
Of course they're powerful. They're true imperative macros, the very thing that all Smug Lisp Weenies worship (I don't, because I'm not an SLW, but they are Pretty Cool). The reason I think the macros are clumsy is pretty simple: Nim is really, really bad at manipulating its own AST: It shuffles around, munging data, and by the end, you have no idea what the result should look like. Unlike Lisp, there are no templates in macros, which make seeing what the result will be very easy.

This is how a debug macro, a very simple one, is implemented in Nim (taken from the tutorial):

macro debug(n: varargs[expr]): stmt =
result = newNimNode(nnkStmtList, n)
for i in 0..n.len-1:
result.add(newCall("write", newIdentNode("stdout"), toStrLit(n[i])))
result.add(newCall("write", newIdentNode("stdout"), newStrLitNode(": ")))
result.add(newCall("writeLine", newIdentNode("stdout"), n[i]))

What the heck is going on? This is the equivalent Lisp (specifically, Chicken Scheme, the dialect I am most familiar with, but it should be similar in most lisps with imperative macros):

(define-syntax debug
(ir-macro-transformer
(lambda (e i c)
(let ((stmts (cdr e)))
(map (lambda (stmt)
`(begin (write ,stmt)
(display ": ")
(newline))
stmts)))))

That's much easier to understand. It might be a bit less concise, but it more than makes up for it.

I don't blame Nim for being bad at manipulating its own AST. Lisp is pretty bad at it, too (no, lists are not the lisp AST, not in any lisp suitable for the Real World. I don't know who told you that, but it's a lie: Most lisp ASTs are just as complex as Nim's). What I do blame Nim for is not being potentially homoiconic so there's no easy datastructure to represent code in, or at least providing a datastructure that's easier to manipulate, or at the very least provide some mechanisms to make the existing structures easier to manipulate.

That sounds really scary. I have gradually given up on contacts and gone back to glasses over the years - partly because of comfort, and partly because of hearing nasty stories of infections and complications caused by keeping them in too long.

If you wear contacts and follow all the rules exactly (like always taking them out before swimming/water sports, taking them out after X hours of wear each day, etc), I feel like they lose a lot of the convenience that made them so appealing in the first place.

You really want to just stick them in your eyes first thing in the morning and then forget about your crappy eyesight until bedtime, but it never seems to quite work out like that. (At least not for me, I have friends who wear them day in, day out with no apparent issues).

Do you always assume that people who have differing opinions from yours must be heartless monsters and insult them? That must be a serious impediment to constructive discussion.

To put my point succinctly Zuckerberg hasn't demonstrated a great deal of social responsibility in running his business. There are problems much closer to his influence (literally caused by his product) which he doesn't even discuss in public, let alone try to solve. So when he announces he and his wife are going to effectively end the greatest cause of human suffering, some skepticism about his motives is totally legitimate. For instance, what strings will be attached to the receipt of this money?

Don't just punish the cheaters, punish those in a position to have *conceivably known* who didn't report it.

There's a significant difference between punishing those who did know about it (and didn't report it) and those who might have known about it (and didn't report it).

The second sounds a lot like "collective punishment", which is prohibited by the Fourth Geneva Convention, and the Human Rights Act. [1]

While speculation, Moxie's projects appear to have gotten (deservedly) a lot of attention, which brings a lot of feedback that's unfounded and potential malicious; for example, the f-droid comment about in my opinion fails to reflect both sides of the issue, and build security is VERY IMPORTANT and often ignored.

I don't know Moxie, but we've exchange messages before and never got the sense that off the cuff he was discounting any feedback. At a very highly level we agree about what he's doing, though I get the sense that anonymity is something we don't exactly agree about, but do understand a little of why he feels the way he does.

This is true of people producing more of the same thing. An artist who makes a lot of pottery doesn't increase their ability in painting, or piano-playing.

In other words, do the same thing lots of times, and the results become better and better. This sounds a lot like replication in science.
I don't think that's true at all. I think the issue with contacts (even dailies) is that they can trap pathogens on the surface of the eye and give them a place to breed, allowing an infection to take hold. This could happen within a day while you have your lenses on.

I think dailies are somewhat safer, because you're starting each day with a sterile pair. But splashing any non-sterile water onto them is a mistake.

We aren't. In fact, according to the decoherence / many-world interpretation (and possibly others) that's exactly what happens.

When you "measure" (aka. entangle yourself with) one of the two photons, you end up (find yourself) in one of the infinitely many possible "worlds", in which both photons have a single, definite state (always the opposite of each other, in this setup.) It's as simple as that.

I can't wait for WebVR in Edge. They are doing it specifically to support Hololens. I recently did two projects for clients, a VR app in WebVR and an AR app in Unity. The ridiculously long compile and load times in Unity, plus the dual-headed editing experience of using the Unity editor and Visual Studio were significant impediments to the development process. In WebVR, I was significantly more productive because I could test so much faster, sometimes even tweaking settings on the fly without having to reload the app. Once Edge in Hololens gets WebVR, I can dump Unity and stick to my own framework, Primrose (https://primrosevr.com)

Well, one explanation is that he thinks the threat model is such that a more likely risk is RCEs into the browser; if Tor directory authorities are doing untrustworthy things that can probably be more easily detected than deliberate exploits.

It's also a very pragmatic plan: rebooting the whole Tor relay/exit node community is going to be a long term project without clear gains in the end; if your replacement looks like Tor in that you continue to invite volunteers to run nodes if the previous set of nodes are compromised what prevents those nodes from joining your network too? Arguably better to focus on forking what you can fix, which is apparently the browser.

But that's all a charitable explanation: the less charitable explanation was he forked the browser because that's where the Tor branding is... Fork the relay codebase and you can't take pretty screenshots of your new fork.

Not from inside; but an external device could remap the address range (not that it was made often, except for D40/D80 which did that, replacing microdrive code with a floppy one) and the ZX128, which actually had two ROM banks.

There weren't many useful things in the ROM, if you were writing your application. Maybe the font table and tape loader. On the other hand, if you were able to ignore the ROM, you got few bytes more of RAM, because you were able to repurpose the "system variables" area.

The biggest "problem" with ROM that you were unable to replace it with RAM (until next reset, for example), thus taking precious 16kB out of 64kB address range.

Material design components for React
Not sure it should be be part of this package, but it's trivial to write a function that exposes something like "SharedLibraryFile(libname string) string". Depending on the OS it just formats the default shared object name.

For extra runtime speed you could build OS specific versions of that function using build flags, so for each target OS it has one implementation and you have no switch/case or anything in runtime.
>This is the inverse of the anti-marketplace argument that capitalism leads to monopolies

I don't think I have heard such an argument, and I understand the parent comment just fine.

What he means is that, since pharmaceutical and medical supplies companies have large upfront research costs coupled with negligible marginal costs, they face a falling average-cost curve. However, a firm operating under competition has it output at the point where marginal and average costs are equal. The point is that for a firm who profits off research, reaching this point is unfeasible. What all this economic gobbledygook is that, in order to survive, firms have to charge above what would be otherwise the "warranted" price (like the price of the components and labor that go into a kit).

This is more obvious in the case of software, since the cost of copying any piece of software is pretty much zero, anyone trying to sell it for it's marginal price won't ever get what he put in by having written it in the first place. In such markets the socially efficient outcome, the one which makes both consumer and producer better off, is actually to have a single or few firms regulated firms operating under imperfect competition. And all this happens because of the cost structure of the firms, not because of the market itself.

Though I'm rather skeptic that pressing on the suppliers will push them near their marginal costs in this particular case.
