I think that part of the argument is about happiness -- not about death.

I ran around in the woods with a (figurative) loincloth for many years and there is something to it. :)

I'm not arguing that you are completely wrong, but you're also talking about a best case scenario in modern society. Spending time with people further towards the bottom of modern society will give a less positive outlook on modern happiness.

This excerpt is interesting:

"The colonials occasionally tried to welcome Native American children into their midst, but they couldn’t persuade them to stay. Benjamin Franklin observed the phenomenon in 1753, writing, “When an Indian child has been brought up among us, taught our language and habituated to our customs, yet if he goes to see his relations and make one Indian ramble with them, there is no persuading him ever to return.”

During the wars with the Indians, many European settlers were taken prisoner and held within Indian tribes. After a while, they had plenty of chances to escape and return, and yet they did not. In fact, when they were “rescued,” they fled and hid from their rescuers."

Sometimes the Indians tried to forcibly return the colonials in a prisoner swap, and still the colonials refused to go. In one case, the Shawanese Indians were compelled to tie up some European women in order to ship them back. After they were returned, the women escaped the colonial towns and ran back to the Indians.

Even as late as 1782, the pattern was still going strong. Hector de Crèvecoeur wrote, "Thousands of Europeans are Indians, and we have no examples of even one of those aborigines having from choice become European."

They aren't really a scam as such, the margins are just ridiculously high.

And there is stuff like no 2 stores having the same mattress, so you can't comparison shop.
I'm the OP, and yes, I should've worded that out better.
AFAIK, and also in the examples shown with that blog post, all the problems with strict aliasing involve reading/writing the same object with separate differently-typed pointers. In my example, I'm only accessing s as a uint32_t*, so there is nothing to "alias" per se.
It is interesting to me that this topic provokes angry responses. I find the tenor of debate on this subject similar to what you'd find in reply to an article about early retirement through discipline in savings.
They are also comparing it to the best outcomes for individuals in modern society. It's not like people don't still get raped, killed over resources, and finished off prematurely by disease and starvation. I'm not sure modern civilization would look the same without a long and continuing history of people sacrificed at the altar of progress.
This is completely self-evident and not even controversial, but here you go:

Agrarian populations spend all their time doing hard labor to earn basic necessities like food, water and shelter. That sucks and they're less happy.

People in western nations live longer and move less. The correlation is pretty obvious.
I wasn't satisfied with "counter-balance" as a word when I wrote that, honestly.

It was mostly more the idea that what counts as "PR" for a senior academic isn't necessarily intuitive.
No, it should be configured to use a purpose-made device that tunnels all traffic over Tor as gateway.
whether or not there's a subtheme that genetic engineering is required to save it, i've been hearing this story about the imminent decline of the Cavendish for about a decade.

maybe LA shoppers are just lucky, but i've seen plentiful alternative varieties in grocery stores here, including "Cuban/Jamaican Red", "Thai" (a little bit like Hawaii's "Ice Cream Banana"), and "Burro." they usually taste better than the Cavendish. and, on sale, you can get 3 pounds for a dollar.

i occasionally see fruit-bearing banana plants growing in Los Angeles itself. i've tried some of these and they also taste better than the Cavendish.
If I were going to do something so very illegal, I'd research the hell out of it. If I were going to run something like this, I'd pretty much want to be an expert on the architecture and software stack.

I'd be asking hundreds of questions, taking courses, and using as many layers as would be reasonable to hide even my efforts at learning. I'd probably be obsessed with security, more so than I am now. Much more so, in fact.
Junk mail is cheaper per unit than first class mail, but there's so much of it that it significantly subsidizes first class mail (the mail normal people send).

What I've realized as I grown older is that the majority of people are not worth my time. Loads of people will actively waste your time and talk about things without knowledge. If you listen to Rich speak in any of his presentations or interviews, it's pretty obvious he knows the same thing and his inner circle are extremely intelligent. If you want to progress you must eliminate the garbage and keep the most quality people you can around you.

We now have like 5 main versions and variants of javascript that came out in the last few years that all look like complete rubbish (purely my opinion). There seems to be a new build tool coming up every 3 months. Everyone is making a library for things as basic as calling an API or padding a string. At one point not so long ago I was one of the programmers who needed said libraries to get work done.

The code for clojure is open source. If anyone absolutely must use clojure they can do a better job than Cognitect just fork it. Or keep learning the new version of javascript that inevitably comes out every year.

one of the problems with losing the Cavendish is that it's an abundant producer and a lot of people depend upon it for sustenance. losing the Cavendish would mean losing an important food stock in certain parts of the world.
You'd think that with a story that big they'd provide an English version. Too bad.
Sorry dumb question, why branchless?
It looks like it would be legal if it is distinguishable as being purely fictional, where what a reasonable person would believe is taken into account.

For those who do not want this type of search query to be in their history, have a link:

https://www.justice.gov/criminal-ceos/citizens-guide-us-fede...

If my reading is correct, images that are fictional, and appear fictional to a reasonable person - inferred by me through a number of law courses and not directly stated in the link, are not illegal. Drawings should be fine. CGI, maybe, depending on how easily it is distinguished as being fictional.

That sentence also struck a chord with me.

The dictionary definition of community:

> n. A group of people having common interests: the scientific community; the international business community.

The "Clojure community" is a group of people having a common interest in Clojure.

The sentence doesn't disparage the community, or discourage engaging with the community. Rich Hickey's 1000 word response makes the case, and is evidence itself, that he and other Clojure contributors care about the community. He is explaining that he will continue to design and develop the language as a Rich Hickey thing instead of a consensus or community driven process.

> A true community respects the autonomy of its participants... the ultimate authority and stewardship of Clojure remains with me
The article answers this in detail, but the TLDR is that branches slow down execution on modern CPUs
The other analogy that I've used is to asbestos and lead paint. Both of those products were very good at accomplishing their immediate purpose but had pretty devastating health consequences that were only discovered after they'd become ubiquitous. I think in a decade or two, we'll look back at smartphones in the same way.
I recently went basic phone too and it's amazing. Much more present and clear and happy.
True, but there were other amazing computer hardware folks that really don’t get much credit. For example, Jay Miner’s chip development on the Atari 8-bit machines. It would be amazing to get some history with other hardware wizards of the time.
What's so funny? Yarn uses the npm package registry, so it is a package manager for npm.

Ah, thanks. I don't really shop or compare prices, but just get what suits my needs. I've been happy with the results and costs, so I was unsure of where the scam was.
You can't actually buy new copies of Windows 7 anymore, I don't think, so that doesn't exactly say much.

And well, in this case, corporations aren't just slow to switch, they're also still investigating, if they can actually even use Windows 10 due to the increased telemetry.

For many companies, deploying Windows 10 would mean breaking contract requirements or the law.

Just two weeks ago, the ministry for data privacy of Bavaria released a report, that hey, they can actually legally use Windows 10 Enterprise, given a list of tweaks that have to be made in each deployment.

And then the addendum was that new privacy laws are going to become active next year, so at that point, these results are completely irrelevant, again. I expect the next report on Windows 10 being usable (or not) in two years from now.
you can buy either the Gros Michel or a very similar variety in Chinatown and Flushing in NYC. And the local green markets have several other varieties as well. There are definitely other bananas around, most people just don't care that much.
Best comment from the bug report: So we decides to switch on PostreSQL for production...

Was Gates' mom the kind of person who would be going to dinner parties with Buffet even if her son wasn't a billionaire at that point? I know the Gates were kind of big, but I always assumed in a modest regional way, and not the kind of go to dinner with the most influential people in the world kind of way.
Love this idea. Recently visited a couple of cities with very different under and overground infrastructure and being able to see this would be really cool
I see that the two they fixed disclosed more memory than expected - but is that enough reason to fix it? It seems like you’d probably want a complete POC before fixing them. Or are there common POCs that these obviously fall into?
use any other currency then, what's the difference?
I don't think artificial porn made to look like my child would be much worse than artificial porn made to look like me. (Maybe because I don't have children yet.) I would find it kind of creepy and indicative of an unhealthy obsession, but I don't think it needs to be illegal. For all I know, someone has already masturbated to actual pictures of me, or imagined me naked or whatever. So long as they don't feel the need to rub it in my face and don't want to rape me, I think they should be free to do that, even though I'd prefer if they didn't.

Step 4-7 shows the difference between a person who want to block something (ISP blacklists, national firewalls, ectra) vs actually identifying whom is running a server.

It saves both innocent bystanders and resources, and is also effective in catching the intended suspect.

A world without diversity is fragile. This is true for vegetables, cattle and even us. Genetic diversity is a barrier to the spread of virus, bacteria and other parasites that cause diseases.

'"Another danger of a more homogeneous global food basket is that it makes agriculture more vulnerable to major threats like drought, insect pests and diseases, which are likely to become worse in many parts of the world as a result of climate change." As the global population rises and the pressure increases on our global food system, so does our dependence on the global crops and production system that feeds us.'

Cavendish sub-group is prominent with a 47 percent share of global banana production. Almost all bananas traded worldwide are Cavendish.
I didn’t say that I polled them, but rather that this is my continued and consistent observation over long periods.
I had the opposite experience as a kid. I'd lose to my father in Scrabble over and over, but I'd continue to play against him anyway. I think I just enjoyed playing a game that was meant for adults. As I got older, I started to win more and more, but for the first year or two I don't remember winning at all (although it's entirely possible I'm not remembering things correctly).

Still, I like to think losing at games as a child taught me to be focused less on the act of winning and more on the act of playing the game. It's a quality that very few people appear to have, even as adults.

I agree with you. I asked my wife what she thought of gender affecting learning, and what she said was quite convincing: individuals have different ways of learning, and gender isn't the only determining factor.
I’m torn on the one hand, even at its most effective, how could a private organization do as much as a government that effectively has unlimited resources? On the other hand, this government with its current leadership has been anything but effective and we are better off depending on private organizations.

I also found it strange and surprising, especially with how prominent the English is on the labels. If it is due to being sold in foreign markets, which most likely have competition, then the point of the labeling not being used to promote the product due to lack of competition seems to be somewhat contradictory. Although the point about the labeling supporting North Korea being the best Korea still stands. I wonder if designers or approvers consider and balance the domestic and foreign labeling goals.

I also wonder how many North Korean's know English and what they think about the English being on the labels.

The realization that processed, sugary foods are not good for you dates back to at least the 1950s when the term "junk food" appeared. Even so, the problem got much much worse over time and it's still not at all clear that people are rejecting such foods.
This is the first I've heard of no actual development manager (or equivilant). Back in the olden days, there were instances of the project manager actually being the manager of the developers though.

I could see the "no manager" aspect work in small, self disciplined teams where each member has skin in the game (ownership), but not outsourced teams with no accountability. If that is a trend, it is a Darwinian trend sure to extinguish itself naturally.

Except that the average user has moved on to phones and tablets. Desktops stick around for office workers, gamers, and content creators. The last two are the kind of people who want control over their computer to improve their experience/workflow, and the first one is supported by IT that wants control over their users' computers to improve their users' experience/workflow.

I agree. It is not his fault that the equilibrium has settled this way, but the fact is that it has settled at a point where ironically the design of his site sets off my "this is a scam site" alarms. Not a confidence scam, per se, but certainly a site I wouldn't be downloading any executables from and would be expecting a popup ad with malware at any moment when visiting.

In reality I know he isn't doing any of that but the design unfortunately signals he might be.

But `s` is defined somehow, and it is not defined as a `uint32_t * ` (or else you would not need the cast). It is usually defined as `char * `. The memory being read is reachable by dereferencing `s`, a `char * `, and by dereferencing `(uint32_t * )s`, a `uint32_t * `. Thus, type punning and aliasing. Each byte of memory should be reachable only by pointers/array indexes of a single type (and anything that is not a `char * ` can be accessed by `char * `).
