>If you're one of my friends who NEEDS a new car all the time (for some... reason...), then even a $2400 premium would be too costly and it'd be better to buy ICE.

It will not be a premium by 2025. EV's right now are where hybrids were at in 2005, and in 2025 they will be where hybrids are at now in terms of market share. It will become a normal, sensible choice for people buying a new small car. Cheap (<$20k) EV's with 200+ mile range will be commonplace within 5 years. Lithium battery prices have fallen by an order of magnitude over the past 10 years, to below $140/kWh, and it's projected to cut that almost in half by 2025. At that price, something with similar capabilities to a current generation Nissan Leaf will sell for around $15-20k new. And with the battery being the only meaningful component which can degrade, cars will now last decades in dry climates with zero maintenance, perhaps needing a battery switch at 10 year intervals.

How about you tell me how Airbnb is contributing to vacancies in crowded real estate markets? Or what you are doing about cities introducing regulations that will make Airbnb essentially the same as a hotel? Why are condos starting to ban Airbnb rentals?

Be a little more relaxed about this. Legacy code often looks like a big elephant which needs lots of fixes. Look to the tiny things instead:

- just make the function / class you're working on nicer, preferably just a small function. Apply some common quality standards to it, clean code, nice docs.
- repeat this for a while, and you will have a nice set of examples and guidance for the other team members by setting an example.

Personally I am a huge fan of making that one place where you found the bug nice, adding a simple test case and moving on to the next thing. It adds up over time and does not hurt in terms of time involvement/budget since you already had to invest a larger amount fo time to find the place bugging out.

From a user perspective most languages make a mess out of these things and confuse people. In Javascript certain things are declared in a similar way, but some behave like values and some behave like references. Which makes it both pass-by-value and pass-by-reference.

It can be done if you pair it with an agency model. You keep multiple devs on hand who treat the sites as internal clients. Over time if you keep making acquisitions, you have less and less need to keep the external client pipeline full.

I've found that looking back at old photos that feature me, my friends, or some interesting unique person, bring back way more powerful memories of the event.

For example seeing a random picture of Tokyo Tower that I took with no one recognizable in it, invokes about the same connection as a random Google Image search for Tokyo Tower. However the picture of me standing in front of it, seeing my clothes, my umbrella, and all the other details puts me right back into that day. I remember more vividly the details before the picture and after the picture as well. It took me quite a few trips to realize this, but its pretty apparent now when I find myself skipping over random scenery pictures in my albums. Sometimes it can't be helped that no one is included, but I make an effort to minimize these pictures.

At the same time, many people in cities are disillusioned with the dynamics of cities (everyone is in a rush to get somewhere and there is little close-knit community). Maybe the implication is that everyone should have the option for either if they want it.

What I loved about Disque is that it was the magical distributed systems thing that everybody really want for messages safety, but done in a way totally transparent for the user, and it actually worked well enough that there are people keeping using the RC1 for ages... That's why I want to resurrect such a project. The fact that it is multi master, auto federated and auto balancing, and all the auto stuff happen without any user stress, was kinda a good thing. As a Redis module everything will be the same, but, without all the code duplication, because otherwise Disque is like a 5000 lines of code project or alike, if not less.

It's inconsistent but since it is in common use I wouldn't fret about it and just accept the fact.
JavaScript is pass-by-reference for all Objects and Arrays. Value types are pass-by-value.

let obj = {a: 1}

function foo(arg) {
return obj === arg;
}

foo(obj) // true

The === operator operates on object not by comparing their value, but by comparing their memory reference [1]. A function argument variable can be reassigned using = in the function body, but that changes which location in memory the reference points to and isn't somehow "proof" of pass-by-value.

This is horrifying.
Smart contracts absolutely can, just like regular contracts can. A bank granting a line of credit backed by future sales unsold gas station inventory is money showing up from 'thin air'. Move that to a smart contract and you've got money - that is, a promise to deliver future real value - getting generated.
> The reason the functions behave differently is not because JavaScript passes primitives and objects differently. It doesn't; they are all treated the same.

>The reason is that primitives are immutable

This is incorrect. See: https://jsfiddle.net/t73ykuj0/

The reason is that javascript uses "pass-reference-by-value" not "pass-by-reference"

edit: The immutability of primitives is why the "pass-reference-by-value" behavior of javascript works like "pass-by-value" for primitives (and for immutable objects).

If you find yourself deep copying then you're about to level up your JavaScript career.

The actual answer is not to find out how to deep copy reliably.

The actual answer is don't deep copy - instead you should be using immutable data structure - check out immutablejs. This will solve the problems that you are trying to address by deep copying.

Sticking with deep copying will only increase your pain and decrease your software reliability.

My first guess, when I posed the original question, was organized crime. People who do organized crime would be the ones to benefit the most from encrypted phones. But anecdotally, it seems to me that organized crime is down in the U.S. too. I might be wrong, that's why I asked for evidence.

The white collar crime, yeah, some forms of it might benefit from encrypted communication. But again, where is the evidence? Is the tax evasion (non-institutionalized) skyrocketing?

The whole claim is just very suspicious. I think there is so much open data today that even with encrypted phones it's much harder to leave less trace than in the past.
And here‘s the problem with cryptocurrencies: They might have all kinds of use cases, but people just see a quick way to get rich.

Lessons from Optics, the Other Deep Learning
If “attempting to access a computer system without authorisation” counts, a former aquaintance reported over 24k such attempts per day. Against just his private server.

While I count all attacks from a single process to be “one attack” and “one crime”, others may not.

Then there’s “unlawful pornography”, which varies wildly by jurisdiction — when a friend pointed me at fetlife, one of my thoughts was that the entire site is illegal to view in the UK unless you disable images (I’m no lawyer though).

There are probably a lot of other things describable as “conspiracy to X”, but that’s a guess on my part.

(I think there may be a lot of victimless crimes too, but that’s a different topic).

What you've called out out is exactly my point. His goal is to reach new people, and his message is targeted only at those already familiar.

Possibly I'm exactly the type of person he is looking for. Someone on the fringe of crypto, curious about it, maybe would dip a toe in for an excuse. Finds game theory interesting (thought normally wouldn't participate in this type of game).

> Is Rust pass-by-reference or pass-by-value? Well, the question is invalid, in either the original or the modern mutation of the meaning.

What do you mean? Maybe you mean "invalid" as in "no one should ask this anymore," but in case you mean "invalid" as in "is an apple an orange?" then

- It's strictly pass-by-value in the classic meaning. Sure, because of immutability there's the obvious optimization the compiler can do which is, under the hood, pass a pointer to a caller's value, but you could also implement everything by copying without the programmer noticing a difference (except for how long the program takes to run).

- It's strictly not pass-by-reference in the classic meaning. The "references" are a type of value. Parameters never are equivalent to the passed-in variable.

Whether or not it's a useful distinction to make is another story. References-as-values seems to be the emerging dominant paradigm for language design, but I sort of wish there were more languages that let you say "this variable is the fifth element of this array."

> if for no other reason than pass-by-X implies there's only two possibilities

I guess because people have only ever heard of by value and by reference, but there are a whole bunch more: by name, by copy-restore, by sharing.
"Be a little more relaxed about this" is probably the best advice haha. I think I just freaked out when I saw their code/had to debug it. But, as @pascalxus said, this is probably very common in many places.
I'm going to fail in my response too, since it's not my field. :)

Starting from the beginning of the search, there are some gases (like oxygen) which are pretty volatile and react with many things. If volatile gases and compounds are in the atmosphere, two possibilities exist:

1) It's young, and hasn't burned through all the reactions that its raw materials would present.

2) There's some process actively creating more volatile gases, which could be a sign of something akin to life, because it doesn't drop into an expected low-entropy chemical makeup.

People much smarter than I in the field would be able to distinguish more "non-living" sources like geological cycles than less-expected "maybe life" activity. But basically, if there's some life-ish process on the planet, it should affect the entire atmosphere enough to be detectable.

Certainly it's only 1 way that chemical activity can be detected, because if things are bound into subterranean caverns or don't involve gases in their activity cycles, it probably wouldn't be visible in its atmospheric composition. However, this sort of search doesn't necessarily target earth-like life, but any "huh, that's strange" observance of chemical makeups, which is good.

So we have one additional means of defining "life", in that it goes against the chemical entropy-reducing direction of its planetary environment; there are sustained complex active processes that aren't just raw chemical or physical potential energy releasing itself. If we find something "living", only then the question of whether or not it's "intelligent" becomes meaningful, because the only metric we currently have for that is "thinks like humans" which isn't enough to work with.

Surely having a charging wire in your car and connecting it before a long drive is not that hard? It's the main way my Samsung phone charges, I usually go full blast playing internet radio, running Waze etc. and when I arrive my phone is 100% charged.

I always wondered why there isn't there a charging standard for phone mounts/cradles just like the old cordless phones where placing it in the cradle made two metallic leads connect the charging circuit.

> There are two places you can find in RAM that will contain that reference

That is an implementation detail completely depends on the VM. There is one very simple exception to your example: call inlining. Pass-by-reference is a behavior specification, not an implementation specification.

> Rust

If Rust emitted purely pass-by-value machine code, zero-cost-abstractions would be impossible in the language.
That sounds like a good plan, thank you!
That's a totally wrong analogy. A more accurate one would be when you go to the park, they boot your car and any motorized vehicles you brought on it, and you have to find someone to un-boot them when you're done.

In your analogy, the park is doing what the commentor says. Politely asking you not to do that.

> Shortwave radio (1.5MHz-30MHz) reflects off the ionosphere and can be received intercontinentally. This includes a couple of ISM bands in which unlicensed operation is permitted internationally: 13553–13567 kHz (22 meters) and 26957–27283 kHz (11 meters) [...] QRPers consider anything below 1 watt as "extremely low power", or QRPp, and they consider a thousand miles per watt as a difficult benchmark to meet.

Unfortunately, the maximum legally allowed transmitter power is on the order of milliwatts for the 22m ISM band, and tens of microwatts for the 11m band. (At least in the US; see 47 CFR § 15.225, 15.227)
You might have missed the main thread pointing out that your claim that "JavaScript passes everything by reference" or is call by reference is wrong in every way. Javascript is call by value, those values can be strings, numbers and references to objects and arrays and such. "Call by reference" is very specific terminology that means that when you run somefunction(n), the caller's variable, n, might get entirely changed, even if it's just a number.
I agree with your 'stateless' approach for many use cases that are otherwise 'muddied' by unnecessary component state.

However, instead of calling forceUpdate(), I was under the impression that componentWillReceiveProps(props) was more efficient?

Perhaps I'm wrong on that one, though... Just that forceUpdate() is an approach that is officially encouraged against.[0]

>Reptiles and some dinosaurs have a sprawling, splayed-out posture. Other dinosaurs, birds, and mammals have independently-evolved upright postures. The birds apparently evolved from the splayed-hip dinosaurs rather than from the upright-hip dinosaurs, so a change in hip structure could be a decent dividing line.

The traditional categorization is the forward (Saurischian) and backward (Ornithischian) facing pubic bones. But, the categorization isn't perfect and some theropods including birds, which are Saurischians, evolved backward facing pubic bones. (And apparently some Ornithischians evolved pubic bones that at least somewhat forward facing.)
