To try out Guile 2.2.0 easily from any GNU/Linux distro (from the full release notes):

Bonus track! This release also contains a new experiment, a binary
installation package for the x86_64 architecture.

The GNU Guix project (https://guixsd.org/) has assembled a graph of
package definitions (for example, GCC, glibc, Guile, and so on) and is
able to build that graph in an entirely deterministic way starting
from only a handful of trusted bootstrap binaries. Guix recently
added a "guix pack" facility that can export build products from a
Guix system, including all run-time dependencies.

We have used the new "guix pack" to generate an experimental binary
distribution for the Guile 2.2.0 release. If you are on an x86_64
system running GNU/Linux, begin by running the following commands:

wget https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guile/guile-2.2.0-pack-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.lz
wget
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guile/guile-2.2.0-pack-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.lz.sig
gpg --verify guile-2.2.0-pack-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.lz.sig

If verification fails, then see above for instructions on how to
import the appropriate GPG key. For reference, the pack's sha256sum
is:

c707b9cf6f97ecca3a4e3e704e62b83f95f1aec28ed1535f5d0a1d36af07a015
guile-2.2.0-pack-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.lz

Then in your root directory -- yes! -- do:

cd /
sudo tar xvf path/to/guile-2.2.0-pack-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.lz

This tarball will extract some paths into /gnu/store and also add a
/opt/guile-2.2.0 symlink. To run Guile, just invoke:

/opt/guile-2.2.0/bin/guile

Voilà!

Chemical weapons are world-killers, absolutely. You could gas out every human city and end civilization as we know it.

Biological weapons can probably do this 10x faster and via weaponized viruses meaning no ICBM's needed, just a good enough virus to be carried by human and animal hosts that infect the world. Or infect common crops and watch the world burn as everyone starves.

A total war between the US/NATO and USSR sans nuclear weapons would also probably have ended western civilization and probably drawn in everyone else too. World-killer? Maybe, maybe not, but the world left over would have been one no one wold want to live in. The same way a post-nuclear world would be.

If anything nukes kept US/NATO and the USSR from going hot. That conflict could very much been a world-ender and was itching to happen for decades.
That's one thing about old cities that people often forget about. A lot of people treat the age of their city's buildings as a point of pride. Old architecture is pretty, and there's so much heritage and historical significance.

But the downside is that they're not nearly as livable as new construction. Disability access is one. Nobody's going to install a wheelchair ramp in a 500-year-old building.

Here's another: air conditioning. I'm from Dallas and still live here, but my family is from New York City. I visit my ancestral home every few years, and what really jumps out at me every time I visit is the lack of central air conditioning. In any residential part of Manhattan, all you have to do is look up, and you'll see hundreds of room air conditioners hanging out of every building. The house in Westchester my aunt and uncle lived in when I was a kid had neither central AC nor heating; I have memories of staying in the guest room with this ratty old radiator grill that was encrusted with unidentifiable gunk. Actually, that whole house just felt ancient. Visiting my aunt and uncle felt like walking into a time machine because of how old their house looked and felt.

You don't see places like that in Dallas. Dallas is a pretty new city; the city proper didn't reach its current borders until 1977, and the suburbs were mostly farmland until the '80s and '90s. The northern part of Dallas where I grew up was built out in the late '70s and '80s, after central AC had become standard. The suburb where I work wasn't built up until the '90s and the '00s, and there are places not too far north of here that were built this decade. Everyone has central AC and heating here. The idea of going without is ludicrous, because all our construction is new enough that central AC and heating were incorporated in the design from the start. Now, yeah, the sweltering climate has something to do with it; state law requires landlords to provide AC at all times, and it's actually a crime for them to fail to resolve complaints about a broken AC within a certain amount of time. But a lot of it is just because Dallas is mostly newer construction.

That's a misleading selective quotation: here's a fuller quote:

"The legacy that I'd like to leave behind is a set of benchmark data that can be used by future weapon physicists to make sure that our codes are correct so that the U.S. remains prepared."
Hi, Richard. You're correct that CNCF requires projects to provide the trademark, but we don't need copyright, because the ASLv2 license the code is already under is sufficient. "Contribute" might be better word than "donate".

But it all a very open-source-oriented, metaphysical concept, in that by giving up some control over a project, the company that originated it is hopefully going to bring in many more contributors and ultimately increase both the total value of the project and the value to them. A core CNCF value proposition to projects [0] is that: "A neutral home for your project increases the willingness of developers from other companies and independent developers to collaborate, contribute, and become committers."

Solomon made a useful analogy [1] that "rough comparison: Docker EE=RHEL, CE=Fedora, containerd=Linux".

How to find the perfect name for your blog
"Nobody likes paying high taxes, but I don’t mind."

I think there's an important distinction to be made between two different sorts of "high taxes".

One is a high absolute amount of taxes - you made millions of dollars in a year and therefore your absolute tax payment is relatively quite high.

The other is a high percentage tax rate.

I don't mind paying a high absolute rate of taxes - I think that is the scenario in which one can think fondly of all the things that government provides - things like:

"It's a repayment for all those years I was poor and the government paid for me to live and go to school."

However, there comes a point in percentage tax rates where basic fairness comes into question. I'm sure it varies from person to person, but I think an effective tax rate north of 40% is getting in the danger zone.

As a US citizen who lives in California, in Marin, and owns land, my effective tax rate is 50%, give or take, and I think that's a problem. It's very difficult to rationalize that every 60 minutes I work, ~30 minutes of that work product is appropriated by government.

Absolutely an error there. If you try to search the literal string "move from swift to Objective-c", Google rejects the precision given there are so few results, and searches only for the words independently. The bulk of results in that case are actually about moving from Objective-C to Swift.

If you search "move from Objective-c to Swift", there are actually enough results that it honors the literal string, yielding far fewer results.

Definitely a major methodology error for pairs with a large asymmetry.

Nonetheless I found the post humorous, and I don't think it was held with the conviction some of the top posts seem to think.

If you enjoy paying taxes, here's an offer: Why don't you pay some of mine? The point is, folks who advocate for higher taxes aren't being altruistic, they're advocating for everyone else to be paying more.

Welcome to America. People who complain about tipping annoy me. I agree it's a pain to have to tip but companies in America like to not pay their employees.

Instead of giving the tipping option Uber should just automatically add 15%. But knowing Uber they would just keepo this 15% and not pass it on to the driver.

[video] Should Designers Learn to Code?
Java's type system and FP features are really weak compared to Haskell's :-) But it compares favourably with ES6's, until you start using ImmutableJS, and ES6 currying. Then Java lags far behind...

I've always been deeply into it, and using it for years at work, so no good off-hand reference. I'd be picking one as random as any web search that you'd perform, sorry!

I should never have learnt Haskell. It messes with your mind [1] whenever you write in any other programming language, yet you can hardly ever use it in practice. Well, certainly here in South Africa.

4-6 simultaneous streams of what? Browsing and gaming require little bandwidth on a sustained basis. 4K is the only thing that makes a dent in modern broadband connections, and it's not like people can watch more than one of those at a time even if they have multiple devices capable of doing so.

We're a "cord cutter" household with three adults and a four year-old who has her own iPad. I wouldn't be surprised if we were top 1% for bandwidth users. Tops for us is probably one 4K stream (25 mbps), 2 HD stream (5 mbps), and then trivial amounts on top of that from the three adults intermittently playing on their phones. I've got 150/150 now, and will be upgrading to 750/750 when Verizon rolls it out in Annapolis. But really only because I can, not because I can use it.
We cut the cord a while back and have noticed how strange ads now seem to all of us.
It's frustrating because everyone has different concepts of what a "good" tip is as well. I tip well now but it's mostly because I'm overcompensating for years of under tipping after getting advice from high school friends or cheap adults. However it's often just not clear enough what to give.

I went to the museum at LANL a few months ago and in a lot of the videos the scientists and engineers expressed similar sentiments. They feel that the work they are doing is instrumental in the relative peace humanity has had since the end of WWII. I don't know a ton about that subject but it is hard for me to to disagree that without nukes and MAD the world would have a net increase in bloodshed.

I don't think that assumption can be made, no. My understanding is that the purpose is generally not to be able to put more pesticide on the crop, but for the crop to react less to the amount of pesticide necessary to provide the desired environment for the plant; and this is only in the case of pesticide-resistance modifications. There are, for example, GMO rice strains which are intended to increase yield in pesticide-free crops, and in cooler climates than typically desired for rice.

As someone with moderate Japanese literacy, I don't really see the distinction between the problems that you're referencing. All problems here are using the same mix of phonetic and logographic characters, which is typical of modern written Japanese.

>Did Japan import whatever concept question 2 is about from China and developed the math for the other questions independently?

Very unlikely. Japanese concepts expressed by the borrowed Chinese logographic script (known locally as kanji) are frequently quite different than the meaning that would be expressed in Chinese.

Additionally, choosing to write a text with relatively dense usage of kanji characters doesn't necessarily imply anything meaningful. For one, the swap between phonetic script and kanji often plays the role that the empty 'space' character plays in western languages. Sometimes the concepts being discussed include words that are homophones/homographs that are difficult to distinguish between in phonetic script, but are easy to distinguish with kanji. For instance, 'hashi' = chopsticks or bridge depending on emphasis. Aside from use of context it's not necessarily clear what you mean if you spell it out, but there are two distinct kanji for either 'chopsticks' or 'bridge' that are usually known, so it's easier to use those to ward off ambiguity. In other cases, choices between use of phonetic scripts or kanji simply comes down to nothing more than convention.
Keep in mind that in both US and Canada there's a different (and lower) minimum wage for 'tipped workers'.

US Federal law states minimum wage is only $2.13/hr for someone that makes $30/month in tips (instead of normal minimum $7.25) [1]. If they don't make $30 in tips the employer must make up the difference.

At 30 hours/week (and 4.3 weeks/month), $30/month works out to $0.23/hr, so the effective minimum wage is still only $2.36/hr.

Some states are quite a bit higher (eg Hawaii is $7/hr), and in some (eg, Alaska, California) the minimum wage is the same regardless of tips.

I resonate strongly with this position but don't think the media will ever be able to express the nuance well. I explain to people about the difference between borrowing to buy a farm tractor that lets you double the money per acre you can get on your farm, vs borrowing to buy a super elite electric car that only drives you to the same places (and usually at the same speed) as your old gas car did.

One debt increases your annual revenue for as long as you own it, the other increases your annual car expense as long as you own it (decreaing your revenue).
I think these are just basic general principles, not unbreakable rules. Keep them in mind but break them when you really have too. Like the quote at the beginning says, avoid doing stupid things, but don't refrain from doing clever things when you have to.
totally agree. Try to manage servers on any competitor. Never seen a better UI/UX than on DO. Nevertheless interesting extension.

I would run over the single man without hesitation or guilt. I believe that his fate led him to his unfortunate predicament.

In other threads, ppl talk about if there is a stream of consciousness that we come from. I believe it is a stream of fate. A person inherits luck from past actions, whether they be from this life, from their ancestry (grandparents choosing a country), and from previous lives (knowing - really knowing - something is the wrong thing - that moral inner voice or unreasonable fear of it).

Luck can be increased through right action or ritual. It can be passed on to your children and grandchildren.

This belief allows me to be fearless as I go about my daily activities as I know I am always improving my future lot.
