Or maybe they do and are okay with the trade offs. Consider that Switzerland requires voting on each citizenship application. Different countries and cultures have different set of norms. E.g. I can see lots of East and South Asian countries adopting a similar approach.
yeah but this can be done for much less and if the domain is actually worth anything (it has backlinks, age, and traffic) you will pay for more than $99 since you will be competing with many other bidders. This is a huge industry and you're competing with Russians , eastern Europeans and others who scan for domains thousands of times a minute and check them for rankings and other factors...Very seldom does a good domain drop unnoticed, unlike years ago before this industry took off. Either you pay too much for a worthless domain in or you pay the full price in auction.

Sorry, the problem is that this is the heart of representational democratic systems. You don't need to be a expert, you trust blindly. To call for education here is to demand for the people to install linux as there government. It is not going to happen, because the strong point of this agreement is the fact that no citizen has to be a expert. The idea, to reeducate anyone into a expert on secret services, measurements and counter-measures is .. interesting.

Im actually by now for a randomly selected secret service jury. People who get selected by the dice, have the right to move freely within the secret service and the right to watch anything going on anytime.
If the outside find something disagreeable, it can present the jury a case and the jury will investigate (if necessary) and judge. It is replaced after a term.

Clearly governments bureaucrats ascending to power, can not be entrusted to control the most powerful tool they reach this way.

I guess the main gripe is performance. Using STL containers involves lots of implicit heap allocations and copying things around (this last thing should have improved after the introduction of move semantics, does anyone have any numbers on that?). Most of the times performance is perfectly acceptable but a few cases when it is not + inertia can give rise to this anti-STL sentiment.

Here for example std::string takes a beating: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8704318

> Stallman is too ideologically pure

No, Stallman is not ideologically pure enough! He's very principled, however he simply has some mistaken principles.

I define ideological purity not by the level of zealotry, which Stallman certainly doesn't lack, but by the level of consistency with a wider social analysis and general correctness (now the relativists will get me but this is possible to define by linking principles and conclusions, I just don't want to get into that).

And in this respect, Ayn Rand is pure, Lenin fucking invented it, and so on.
Thanks, I think you make a good case for using a language like Lua or Python with an excellent C interface. In some sense, writing everything in C could be a case of premature optimization.

In that case what you're doing seems to be significantly worse than saying "fuck off".

FWIW, I don't think there's anything wrong with what you're doing. I just think it's objectively worse than "yelling and getting angry".

My love hate relationship is entirely with the language itself. It's incredibly useful as a game scripting language and is extremely easy to bind native functionality to, but man, the language itself rivals JavaScript for quirks.

1-based indexing is just a silly departure from decades of ingrained thinking, dictionaries masquerade as lists but can unintentionally become dictionaries if you mistakenly put a non-numeric key in them, and the only inheritance is prototype-based "classes" that are implemented via gross metatable hacking. Library support is also weak.

I will give it credit though for a robust coroutine implementation.

Honestly, I think what you're seeing has more do do with the media than with the truth. You hear about it in the media, so it must be occurring all over. But I believe that for the most part, for most people, these types of things (calling police on children, parents arrested for different parenting techniques, police dealing with children in schools, etc.) are unusual. Which is to say; these things do happen, but it is far from the norm.

I believe very very few people in America would disagree that "Police and the justice system can't become a substitute for parents and teachers."
>>> Yes, many jobs will be lost. But the prices of many goods will decrease.

This remains to be seen. When corporations find ways to cut costs this typically results in higher profits (which there's nothing wrong with that per se) with consumers maybe seeing some cost reduction but not necessarily. Outsourcing of manufacturing jobs is a prime example of that.
Let's break down their claims.

> unseen blue light

I have unread negative comments about this sloppy writing.

They also repeatedly use the word "intense" incorrectly. Intensity refers to candela. Not lumens or temperature.

> The original LED streetlights had temperatures of at least 4000K, which produces a bright white light with a high content of unseen blue light.

4000K is actually considered fairly mellow. Above 6000K, then things start to get blue. The earliest white LEDs were around 10000K and terrible.

> Now, however, LEDs are available with lower kelvin ratings and roughly the same energy efficiency as those with higher ratings.

And now the higher kelvin lights are even more efficient. White LEDs use phosphors to shift the blue light to longer wavelengths. This is a lossy process. Low-K tints require more phosphors and reduce efficiency. That said, 4000K looks so much nicer than 6000K that the loss is worth it.

> “As a species, we weren’t designed to see light at night,” Siminovitch said.

We've had mastery over fire for as long as we've been a species. Darkness is unnatural to humans.

Moonlight is around 4100K. So it is even more "natural" than 3000K. Should we blot out the moon next?

> it urged cities to minimize blue-rich outside lighting and recommended the use of LEDs no brighter than 3000K.

Confusing color temperature and brightness again.

And now from the AMA's press release:

> Recent large surveys found that brighter residential nighttime lighting is associated with reduced sleep times, [etc]

It seems no one has blinds in their windows. I always carry an eye-mask with me too, just in case.

The AMA press release is very low on actual content so I can't comment on most of it. They are smart enough to avoid mentioning the "blue light causes eye damage" myth for example, sticking to meaningless wishy-washy statements.

If the people raising a fuss over LEDs actually cared, they would have been campaigning against mercury-vapor and high-intensity-discharge lamps for the past several decades. A 4000K LED puts out way less blue light than either of those technologies.
I know, I was really replying to parent comment that it was "extremely difficult" to trade, and drawing comparison to other markets seemed the most apt. For those in the know, it gets easier.

How the Chinese Government Fabricates Social Media Posts [pdf]
i felt the response was succinct and well rounded so i left off the second paragraph, but since you quoted it in full here i'll share my thoughts on that as well

i hate this notion of 'the common man', it is self indulgent condescending jargon and it reeks of the 'what about the children' argument

if i could get wells to define this vague label more clearly, then follow his criteria to find a group of people, give those people a copy of ulyses or wake, and if even only one gains some value from it.. what then? does the definition of 'common man' for wells herein actually only imply 'someone who hates this book as much as i do'

honestly this paragraph is so filled with logical fallacies and lazy criticisms i'll just paste it here again in full with a few edits:

"Now with regard to this [thought] experiment of yours. It’s a considerable thing because you are a very considerable man and you have in your crowded composition a mighty genius for expression [and calculation] which has escaped discipline. But I don’t think it gets anywhere. You have turned your back on common men—on their elementary needs and their restricted time and intelligence, and you have elaborated. What is the result? Vast riddles. Your last two works[the special and general theories of relativity] have been more amusing and exciting to write than they will ever be to read. Take me as a typical common reader. Do I get much pleasure from this work? No. Do I feel I am getting something new and illuminating as I do when I read Anrep’s dreadful translation of Pavlov’s badly written book on Conditioned Reflexes? No. So I ask: Who the hell is this [einstein] who demands so many waking hours of the few thousand I have still to live for a proper appreciation of his quirks and fancies and flashes of rendering?"

you're right, best to just ignore it.. o and you better write him a letter telling him you intend to do so
Using a SQLite database for Session Restore seems to make sense. However, it would make it even more difficult to get data out of it when necessary. As ugly as a mess of JSON is, at least it's text, and I don't have to write a SQL query to grep for URLs.

Why not just use the filesystem? Imagine a layout like this:

+ profilename.default
|--+ sessionrestore
|--+ <timestamp>
|--+ window1
| |--+ tab1
| | |--- cookies
| | |--- formdata
| | |--- title
| | |--- url
| ---+ tab2
| |--- cookies
| |--- formdata
| |--- title
| |--- url
---+ window2
|--+ tab1
| |--- cookies
| |--- formdata
| |--- title
| |--- url
---+ tab2
|--- cookies
|--- formdata
|--- title
|--- url

One directory per timestamp, containing one directory per window, containing one directory per tab, containing one file per data type. All plain-text. Change a tab, just write to that tab's files, and update the timestamp directory name. Every x minutes, make a new timestamp tree, keeping y old ones as backups.

No serializing and writing entire sessions to disk at once. Only small writes to small files. All plain-text, easy to read outside of the browser. Easy to copy, backup, modify, troubleshoot. No complex JSON, serializing, or database code. Use the write-to-temp-file-then-rename-over-existing-files paradigm to get atomic updates.

Need to know if part of a session on disk is stale? Check the mtime for that file, see if it's older than the last time that data was changed in memory.

Simple stuff. Straightforward. No overengineering. No bloat.

Why not do this?

An unbalanced young-old demographic ratio is indicative of worsening economic conditions for average people. Looking at Japan, they have a population crisis because there's no time to start a family when you have lots of mandatory unpaid overtime. Thankfully we're not quite that far gone yet, but we're headed in that direction and are starting to face similar demographic problems.

Innovation is slowing down because companies are preoccupied with irrationally slashing labor expenses, and R&D tends to be quite expensive so it gets cut significantly. The result is less income for consumers, who in turn buy fewer goods, which ultimately leads to even more cuts for labor.
> But the prices of many goods will decrease.

Yes, and if our billionaire overlords are feeling generous, perhaps some of those savings will "trickle down" to us peasants.

But probably not...

It depends on your tools. I refactor JS stuff in intelliJ from time to time, no big deal, at least for rename. (1)

OTOH, if you don't have plugins for things like Struts or Spring (faking the desperately needed dynamicism in config files), good luck safely refactoring your "static" typed Java (2). But once have "trained" your IDE where to look, you are back in business again.

1: it's easier to refactor JS if you restrict the scope of identifiers, of course. For starters, this means NOT naively making every function and variable in the global namespace and/or scattered in inline <script> fragments.

2: many other languages dragged into these discussions since there is some general philosophy of compile time vs runtime types discussed on this page.
The problem is that LuaJIT is an engine without a transmission or steering or braking system (this is a tortured analogy). It makes sense for PUC-Lua to have no standard library and focus on embeddability. It does not make sense for LuaJIT to do the same thing. LuaJIT's use case looks more like Torch -- scientific computing where a lot of stuff is written in C but you still need speed for the free-form parts and your target users are in a hurry -- and you need standard libraries for that. LuaJIT can compete with Go and C# on a speed basis, but not a usability basis.

Yeah, the actual compiler could use a maintainer, but who looks at LuaJIT and thinks "clearly, the weak point is the compiler!"?

I wish it were, but every now and then, I restart Firefox and get empty, title-only tabs that go to about:blank when I reload them, completely losing the tab. I have to use a Python script to dump the session data (which still appears in the JSON file, even though Firefox won't use it), eyeball the list to figure out which tab was broken, and reopen that URL manually.

At a glance I feel like I am missing something. If the average without the US is 23.3% and the US average is 27.1% then how can the combination of the two lead to an average of 27.7%? That doesn't seem right.

I understand that including the US would raise the average, but it shouldn't take it from below the US average to above the US average.

>> Invest in New Contraceptive Methods

>> Some women do not access or use contraceptives for a variety of reasons, even when they want to avoid pregnancy. They may have misconceptions about their risk of becoming pregnant, or be deterred by the cost, inconvenience, or concerns about side effects. ... "

The Gates Foundation is paying for "a reformulation of Pfizer’s Depo-Provera® (medroxyprogesterone acetate)" [1]. The usual side effect of this drug is gaining weight. Usually it's about 20 pounds. Some women gain 40+ pounds after a few rounds of this drug [2].

I suspect that the Depo Provera injections at about age 20 is what turned my friend into a drug addict. Drug use caused her first psychotic episodes, and her first court-ordered psychiatrists weren't smart enough to make the connection between her previous use of a prescription endocrine disruptor (Provera) and the following depression that she self-treated with street drugs.

Anyone who uses Provera drug is ignorant of the harm it actually causes, or is malicious.

The light has an effect during the night as it blocks the melatonin hormone from kicking in. It takes about an hour of darkness for the hormone kick in and make you sleepy.
