The wave function is a mathematical construct that doesn't actually have anything to say about the actually of a particle. It is, in essence, the probability of where you might find the entity if you make measurements.

As such to say that the electron is "smeared" around the atom is not saying anything meaningful about the electron. All we can say is that we don't know where it is. To attribute a dispersal property to the electron (or any other particle for that matter) is not doing anything helpful to discover or understand what an electron is.
«lets assume there is an input that leads sha-256 »

Your assumption is wrong. Theoretically, there might be no inputs that are solutions to the PoW. Of course in practice there are almost always a large number of solutions, but again the theoretical possibility of it is why it is correct to say the PoW is memoryless.

Even if theoretically there was always a solution, there is no way to iterate sequentially over all inputs because after iterating over 2^32 nonces, miners have to change the 256-bit merkel root, which is effectively random. This aspect alone makes mining memoryless.
> People always confuse sympathy with empathy.

One side of this is just shifting of meaning over time. As this article points out, Adam Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759) gives the term "sympathy" a very central role, but his meaning is much closer to what we now call empathy.

I know I'm not normal about this, but I can't use a Linux/Windows laptop without physical mouse-buttons on the touchpad. This is actually the only reason I didn't buy a Librem13.

Apple's touchpad is better than the other OS's at least in part because the software driver is smarter. I think Purism themselves were working to improve the linux driver so there's hope on that front.

I read Apple's touchpad-driver source-code about 10 years ago, which was available to read under some OpenDarwin apple license. It was pretty neat. IIRC they draw a perfect circle from the center of the touchpad, radius extending to the top and bottom. Any time there's a keypress on the keyboard, within a small time-delay, any mouse motion outside of the circle is discarded. Brilliant! In comparison, the Linux and Windows drivers of the day would typically just say: within some larger(!) time-delay of a keypress, discard ALL touchpad motion. Which is noticeably more frustrating -- you had no way to reliably move the cursor at all while typing.

In any case, Macbooks were less enjoyable to me when they removed the physical button, but their driver is still ahead enough that it's not so bad to use, and their UI requires somewhat less right-clicking than I need especially on Linux. But for Linux usage I require precise left and right clicks which I can only get from real buttons.

I'm currently using a Dell Latitude 7380. The touchpad is great with real buttons :) But hilariously, I found (and taught them about) a bug with their keyboard firmware causing me frequent typoes, which affects all XPS 13 and Latitude 7xxx laptops. Last month they issued a BIOS update to fix it, specifically for the Latitude series. But if you have an XPS 13, I think they have not provided a fix yet, so you are probably running into typoes that are not your fault!

I think you need to get out more.

Exceptions are actually pretty standard in the database world. ScyllaDB, arguably the top dog in terms of DB performance, has the "throw" keyword strewn throughout its code base. Oracle PL/SQL's error handling is done entirely through exceptions...
There us no such thing as immutable data. The only constant is change. I'm suggesting that in the modeling of the data structures in a system, you rely only on the surrogate value and not the actual values. You're holding an immutable key to mutable data, that can be altered, but isn't necessary to be constant for the system to work. There is really no alternative, because laws are making it increasingly likely that immutable data stores will not be legally sound. Data stores like datomic have the notion of excision to handle this. Blockchains may require immutability, but that simply means you shouldn't put data in that must be removed by a court order.

just to clarify, the keyboard is just as important to me, but lenovo has always had ones that are at least as good as Apple‘s - and the latst MBP ones are not hard to beat. That‘s why my comment focused on trackpad instead, which IMO always was a weak point of Lenovo. All I‘d like to know is if they are comparable to Surface Book, then I‘m fine.
Regular longboards go much faster than an electric one like those described here. I recently built an electric skateboard using one of the ESCs in this post and on flat ground it can't go much over 20mph. It goes far faster than that on even a slight slope. Maintaining control at that speed is dependent on the trucks.

The ESCs do have brakes. They make downhills easy to manage. The only problem is that, without some special components, the brakes don't function on a 100% full charge. (The brakes are regenerative, so the ESC watches the voltage and doesn't allow the motors to overcharge the batteries.) That's not a problem in 99% of cases -- it only matters if you start your trip on a large downhill.

That said, anyone learning to ride an electric skateboard should learn how to bail. You'll have to do it eventually.

I told the title company handling the closing of my first home, in 1982, that I wanted a copy of every document I'd be asked to sign 3 weeks before the closing date.

I suppose I shouldn't leave on a cliffhanger, even if it's off-topic.

If you have a Dell XPS 13, try the following in any editor:
1. Type the letter "k".
2. At virtually the same time, type the letters "o" and "k". Press them at basically the same time except so that the "o" is first before the "k".

You should expect to see "kok", but if you encounter the bug then you'll just have "ko". This problem is for any two keys on the keyboard, if typed in that "A, BA" pattern.

Let me know if you have the bug! If it's not solved in the latest BIOS, then Dell probably needs a kick-in-the-pants from a real XPS13 owner to solve it (even though I tried my best to convince them that it has the same bug as the Latitude 7xxx, which is basically the business-equivalent but with my beloved touchpad buttons).
When the compiler handles this, it is usually called "automatic deforestation". One technique for this (that Haskell's compiler implements) is "stream fusion". A brief overview of stream fusion is given at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/578063/what-is-haskells-... and a lengthier paper is at http://fun.cs.tufts.edu/stream-fusion.pdf.

How is that not the question? Do you believe Facebook violated their users privacy rights? Do you believe in accountability? Then the question is why not delete facebook?

If you hold facebook accountable, then you send a message: users DO value privacy, and any platform that abuses the privilege may find themselves with far fewer users and a less profitable product. Don't hold them accountable, and you'll get a sorry note from Zuckerberg, and he'll violate it later when you aren't looking.

In fact, this article raises another question: how much does the EFF value privacy? Apparently violators just need to say "I'm sorry" and continue what they were doing, and the EFF will argue on their behalf that the benefits of their service outweigh the cost of your lost privacy.

We call this type of optimisation "stream fusion".

In an ideal world, the compiler would always know to do this for us. In practice, it's very difficult (in most languages) to determine whether this optimisation is correct.

In the README example's case, the optimisation happens to be correct because both mapping functions are pure. If they had side effects, then stream fusion might create different results than the original code. Let's make this concrete with an example.

Say our array is `[1, 2]` and our functions are `function A(n) { print("A: "+n) }` and `function B(n) { print("B: "+n) }`. Then _without_ stream fusion, we would see the following output:
```
A: 1
A: 2
B: 1
B: 2
```

_With_ stream fusion, we would see different output:
```
A: 1
B: 1
A: 2
B: 2
```

Since the mapping functions have side effects, stream fusion is not valid here.

Some languages can do automatic implicit stream fusion. Haskell is a great example of this: it's able to determine when stream fusion is correct because the language has an _effect tracking system_ where functions with side effects are distinct from functions without side effects.

> I can tell you that I'm exactly in that position

I mean specifically the luxury of offering them mental help rather than punishment. Which can only happen from a position of societal authority, after these criminals have been removed from power.

I do understand the argument of say not condemning an individual TSA ball fondler [0] because they didn't personally choose the policies of their job. But in your case you were outright attacked - I think individual criminality definitively crosses a line where one can no longer say the thugs are just poor people forced to do a job.

It's kind of like when someone goes a bit too far blaming poverty for some instance of less-organized violent crime, and actually starts absolving the criminal as being another victim of the circumstances. In actuality, both the existence of the poverty and the crime itself are wrong, and regardless of the incentives being stacked against them, the criminal still chose to do wrong.

> Not only am I in a more comfortable and privileged position than people who are more seriously victimized by this system

As an aside, I will point out this means you actually have more of a duty to seek justice. A poor person will just get laughed out of an attorney's office when they ask about contingency, if they even got past the screening phone call. One of the problems I have with phrasing things in terms of "privilege" is that it makes it sound like you didn't get it as bad as you could have, so maybe you shouldn't be so angry at your specific situation. Don't slump into that.

> ...and I acknowledge that my somewhat passive attitude in response is itself a coping mechanism.

That was my point, and my comment was actually passive as well. You're pointing at the abstract concept of a spirit and saying theirs is worse off for it. A traditional religion might assert they're going to burn in hell. I'm focusing on actions in the concrete world, and since straightforward justice is (most likely) prevented, saying we can only hope they eventually receive corporeal comeuppance in some other way. They're all ways of setting aside the incongruity, so we can get over the fact that you (et al) were unjustly attacked, and get on with other things.

> Nevertheless, I think that for compassion and peace to become the true orders of the day in the information age, we must never lose track of our empathy for the agents of our oppression.

I'm a bit out of it in a few ways to fully grok this statement, but I feel like my problem with it is that the oppressive system is driven by energy (in fact, our energy - it's a parasite that benefits from the oppression), so all the understanding in the world will not stop it from continuing to exist (cf all those ambivalent poor people working for it so they can eat). Therefore, peace can only be obtained by a counterbalancing force pushing back.

[0] Although I personally feel that taking the opportunity to give them shit undermines the do-gooder propaganda they're subject to, and helps to increase the cost of running the system.
Librem 13 would without a doubt be my next laptop if it had a >=Retina screen, USB-C†, and ideally a form factor as close to the current-gen MBP as possible.

I think they have a real opportunity to win over the group that doesn't like Windows and is getting increasingly scared off from macOS >= High Sierra, but not if it means a downgrade in any aspect of our current hardware.

† (Edit): I see that it actually does have one USB-C port, but I'm thinking more along the lines of dropping all non-C USB ports and charging over USB-C.

The annoying thing about Facebook from a Danish perspective is that everyone uses it to plan social events. There are a lot of articles on how you’ll get a richer social life and still get invited, but the truth is that you become a bit of a hassle for everyone else.

They have to text you the details outside of Facebook, or alternatively, have to adopt a new platform because of you.

Of course I still think you should delete Facebook. With all this recent controversy they had a chance to right the wrong, instead they chose to double down on exploiting their user base - not only in the legal department but also by quickly running their facial recognition stuff before the GDPR goes into effect.

On the plus side, the more people leave, the less Facebook will lose its justification because right now, the sole reason to be on Facebook is that it’s where everyone is.
I didn't get rid of it, I simply ignore it most of the time unless I'm really bored. And same for me, only messenger on my phone.
Aren‘t those the most energy dense objects known to us? Not sure how large the black holes in the ‚Kugelblitz‘ idea are, but supposedly if we could harvest the energy output of a significant fraction of the sun, we could manufacture them and then use it to travel to other stars rather easily... or destroy entire planets, as those two things unfortunately go hand in hand (in that regard Star Wars may be more realistic than other SciFi funnily enough).
In Vim: just write the first line. Then iterate on this key sequence:

then replayed with @a, and further repeated with @@.

If you look beyond just Facebook, these are issues that will continue to crop up no matter what platform you use. The EFF also makes the claim that there are people for whom deleting Facebook is not a viable or tenable option, and maybe they're right, maybe the tools for them to drop Facebook altogether just don't exist. In that case, they should still have an expectation of privacy and data portability.

Facebook's practices are a societal problem, but theirs aren't the only ones, and services that have the same exact problems are probably being developed right now or will be developed within the next few years.

So my takeaway from this, reading the EFF's post is 1. we should be looking beyond hashtag campaigns targeted at one specific corporation and 2. if for whatever reason #DeleteFacebook is not a viable option, then you should still have your privacy protected and 3. the subtext to point two reads to me as: if you can #DeleteFacebook, you should, but we're not in the business of telling you what services to use wink wink nudge nudge.
