What sort of regulation do you have in mind? Directly restricting price won't make room for all the people who want to live here. It just changes how the (currently too rare) living space gets allocated.
A lot of people overlook that the real power of Emacs is that it is in reality just a huge Lisp interpreter which got some text-editor functionality builtin. Once you understand that, and know some Lisp, there are almost no limits in what you can do. It is super simple to get the documentation for everything and it is often quite easy to extend Emacs's behavior in the way I would like it to behave.

And yet quantitatively, these "Illegal primes" aren't anywhere near the information content of a movie.

We can try applying your narrative to the number 3.14, supposing laws had made finding the circumference of a circle illegal. Sure, "3.14" isn't illegal on its own (and sometimes it even shows up in the amount of change you're owed). But referencing the number is basically referencing a specific use. And so we can infer that the people broadcasting the number are doing so to highlight how easy finding the circumference of a circle is, and thus induce people to do so.

The informational content of 3.14 is say 12 bits and the original AACS key is 128 bits. Whereas a movie is roughly 10,000,000,000 bits, and even a song is around 32,000,000 bits. These "illegal primes" are very close, if not in, the domain of bona fide facts. And the law generally doesn't criminalize facts (like 3.14), although not for lack of trying!

Thanks for the article. I read most of it.

Parts sounded very similar to the start-up that I was referencing most directly in my comment. The big difference was that in selling to large enterprises, marketing is very inefficient at reaching decision makers.

We thought we had this in hand because our founder and a couple of key early employees were deeply integrated into the CIO community. And, we did succeed in getting CIOs on board. The real challenge though for us was that revenue depended on adoption and ongoing use within large enterprises. While CIO's were telling us this platform is really great and we will have 20 procurement projects hosted on your exchange in the next 6 months, they weren't willing to force adoption within their organization. We would get delays and then maybe 1 or 2 projects and then nothing. There was still something missing or a unidentified barrier when it came to the needs of a VP or director 2 levels down from the CIO.

Eventually we ran out of money. The technical foundation was really good and allowed the founder to run it solo until he found a larger service company that wanted to retrofit the technology to support their business model. He got a smallish buyout which in theory made him and the investors whole plus a little. The last I heard they were having legal wranglings to actually get the money paid out from the acquiring firm.

I don't know if it is male dominated, Missionary activity increasingly is dominated by single women, and while pastors and leadership are often male, the entire parachurch and support aspect is probably female dominated.

Religion in the west for the most part is intensely driven by the needs of women, and men for the most part take a figurehead role as leader, while being conspicuously absent from the rank and file. You can look at Christian culture overall to see this, everything from Christian bookstores to Christian movies is overwhelmingly targeted to women, who make up the majority of the market.

If anything my bet is the competition for men is fierce, and ministry tends to be something many women choose instead.

>So instead, homeowners vote for policies that make sure that they somehow get an asset that is guaranteed to go up. That's an unearned benefit, it's one that comes at our expense, and it's an expense that they sure as hell didn't have to deal with when they were getting established in the world.

The 0.1% sure know how to get the 99% to viciously attack one other over the scraps that fall from their table.

Most assets have been going up in value. It's because of wealth inequality reaching staggering levels. It isn't because of homeowner voting patterns and it isn't the fault of homeowners. They just didn't do as badly out of this problem as non-homeowners.

I answered more than 7000 questions on Quora with a heavily enforced Be Nice Be Respectful policy. My monthly pageview count is hovering around 200,000 and I have a lot of followers in addition to the Top Writer title. These questions often started vague and incoherent because the asker did not know the vernacular for that problem domain. It is very frustrating to be unable to express the question in a way an expert can understand. As an expert, I wrote an initial answer and asked the poster to clarify the question. Once we clarified the question, I would re-write the question and incorporate some of the comments into my answer. Other experts can then answer the improved question without spending mental energy on parsing its meaning.

Quora has a feature to comment on questions and not just answers, but it has been well-hidden on the mobile device despite my many pleas to make it more visible so we can improve the question before writing an answer.

Have you ever tried to describe an automotive noise in sufficient detail with enough precision so a mechanic can diagnose the problem? They can communicate with each other easily, but most people don't have that knowledge. That's how it is for non-expert programmers attempting to ask a question on SO. So, they ask it on Quora instead. :)

What was the analogy? I wasn't giving any analogy, I was giving facts.
I first read about this a couple of years ago and I admit to being fascinated by it and following the story since. There's a kind of magic to the whole thing–a treasure hidden in the mountains, a poem hinting at its whereabouts–that really captivates me. I kind of wish I lived in the Rockies so my frequent hiking trips could have an added dimension of treasure hunting!
That is probably valid in some areas.
What does that cash out as that the programmer cares about though? A task like "read an XML file, get a path from it, read a file at that location, do some regexes on it, and then update the XML and write it back to disk" doesn't need any special systems-ness (and maybe Rust is only a suitable choice for problems where you need that systems-ness, but people seem to be writing a lot of ordinary code in it and advertising it for non-systems uses).
i skimmed the article and did not find anything stating that females frequently and actively compete for males. there are a lot of other counterexamples to anthropomorphic behavior there [that has been assigned to sexes] but not the specific one we're discussing here. i think the generalization at hand is on pretty solid footing.

it's really the same for all generalizations. i can make the statement, "males are attracted to females" and it will be true in 95%+ of cases. just because some limited counterexamples exist does not make this generalization a poor representation - these are not laws of physics or mathematical axioms that need absolute conformance to be usefully true.
I was looking at Fenn's poem the other day and did a little frequency analysis. It's interesting to see three 'W's on one line, two 'Q's on another, every other letter present except 'X'. Maybe find the X, as in 'X marks the spot'?

I'm a professional Python dev, I have no reason to believe that decorators save any time for any size of project. They're harder to reason about for developers of all experience levels and their is no obvious advantage--some argue that the syntax is more pleasant, but I don't perceive an increase in readability; certainly not one that makes up for the increased cognitive burden. The following is super straightforward, testable, and it doesn't depend on globals for shared resources or request state:

def hello_handler(r: Request) -> Response:
return Response.ok("Hello!")

def goodbye_handler(r: Request) -> Response:
return Response.ok("Goodbye!")

if __name__ == "__main__":
router = Router("/")
router.register_route("/hello/", "GET", hello_handler)
router.register_route("/goodbye/", "GET", goodbye_handler)
I am also a fan of how Germany (and to some extent, the Netherlands) handle their housing regulations to keep housing affordable.

Except for a few minor exceptions, America has nothing even remotely similar. The assumption is that owning your home/condo is the one and only way you are supposed to keep housing affordable in the US.

That assumption sort of / kind of worked for a while, back when there were heavy restrictions and regulations on how non-human and/or non-citizen entities could own and invest in housing, and when jobs/"demand" were somewhat-more-evenly distributed. But as soon as that was deregulated, the wheels came off the bus and it's been gotten steadily worse every year.

> Why do lower and middle class voters not vote for government regulation of housing?

They do, and in some respects, they already have this -- that's why they have some local control of zoning today. The regulatory control lower and middle class voters have is this local control of zoning that YIMBYs are trying to eliminate. Part of the problem is that "YIMBYs" are attacking that authority, by pretending anyone who is anti-YIMBY must be NIMBY. This is because it just so happens that the local control lower and middle class voters can use to promote public housing or "affordable" housing is the same control that wealthy voters can use to eliminate new housing entirely.
I've been saying this for years. DNA sites are a goldmine for unresolved cold cases ( rape, murder, missing persons ) where DNA is available.

In the past, if there was a rape in a city, the cops couldn't force everyone in the city to give their DNA to find the rapist. Now, everyone in the city is paying to give their DNA to DNA sites. All cops had to do is submit the DNA of cold cases to these sites and see if they get a match of any kind ( cousins, siblings, parents or the suspect themselves ).
I think that's a non-charitable way of reading what I said. Although I was certainly unclear.

What I mean is, the interesting issue to me is whether it's OK for law enforcement to send a DNA sample and compel ancestry/genomic sites to respond with any matches, even if they do have a warrant. So I misspoke saying it's a technicality, what I really mean is that the issue is interesting to me even if a warrant were provided.

One of the reasons may be better job prospects.

In Germany, for aspiring protestant pastors, you may share a position in a parish as a couple (both getting paid 50-75% of a full position, with the unspoken expectation of being available for 100%).

Also the protestant churches are extremely territorial (a vestige of the medieval political landscape), so if you take your exam in Hamburg, you are not necessarily welcome in Munich. But you could marry a bavarian spouse who is also a pastor, which can be your entry ticket into the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Bavaria...

>Were you expecting the gopher at that URL

Yes, I was expecting the gopher, especially because of the URL's path including the word gopher. Looking at the wayback machine shows you're right, this is the same picture that's been at that URL for years. I just always thought of the gopher as their logo, didn't realize there was another logo they used (I don't use Go so not too familiar with it).
Did he say that you don't have the right to care? He did not.

You can care, you may not want these photos to be where they are, and you may attempt to have them removed if it is possible, but you don't have the right to punish people for not caring, and you don't have the right to force people to care for the things you do.

I personally hate being on photos, so I try to avoid it to my best ability. I also asked someone to have a photo of me removed from somewhere. This is all understandable. The problem occurs when you are trying to dictate other people's lives by threatening to use violence against them for not conforming to your beliefs, etc. No need to resort to violence, come on.

I have a feeling you would attempt to beat me up for my tone alone because you perceive it to be hostile. Not cool. :P
> As the crud started piling up

You'll have to be more specific about what that "crud" is, as SO's culture seems to have a tendency to reclassify the baby as dirt and throw him out with the bathwater.

> the options were either abandon it completely (that was threatened) or clean it up along with the associated rules of what makes a good subjective question.

Seems like there should have been more options on the table than "abandon" or "remake in SO's image." SO has a better population to answer subjective questions than most of the alternatives it tries to push people towards. They really should have been more flexible.

Sure, it's possible it will happen.
It is a well-worn trope, but it's not just within christian colleges. I've seen it at several universities that have nothing to do with religious schools.

Even then, I think a lot of that is just observational bias from the life situation of people in their early twenties, which is when people often start to settle down. So the most inclined to settle down just happen to be in college.

People only build elsewhere when distance costs less than cleaning up the regulatory pollution required to build.

The problem is that the regulatory pollution (crappy zoning) is so bad in certain areas and improves so little as you get further out that building a little further away isn't actually a better value.
> ... and your program still has to deal with the fallout in a way that it doesn't with GC or exceptions or other helpful abstractions.

[citation needed]. What in the world is this "fallout"?

You can of course chose not to use CSP or some other abstraction, but that would be like chosing to do manual memory management (which you can also do in Go through cgo if you'd like), and the "fallout" is identical: You are on your own. CSP is of course not magic, but neither is a GC or lifetimes. You must always know the tools you are working with, as they have their own issues that must be dealt with.

If we look at the concerns in the article, Rust's lifetime actually remove those issues entirely, much in line with its "fearless concurrency" motto. Go's CSP is opt-in-although-aggressively-recommend, and is by no means a low-level construct.

A compare-and-swap is a "low-level" construct. You can of course pull in atomic primitives if you feel like doing so, but then you are choosing to go low-level.

Also, exceptions are a terrible, terrible thing. They make error handling much, much worse.

> There are only a few languages/platforms where CSP is feasible, and very few (none?) of them achieve the performance of CSP in Go because they don't/can't use segmented stacks

I do not see how this claim makes sense. Segmented stacks are an unnecessary green thread implementation detail that can both harm and benefit performance (if you use FFI, they harm performance a lot), and is neither necessary for green threads, nor related to CSP at all.

CSP works just fine in other languages. You can fully execute a CSP paradigm in C, just like you can avoid it altogether in Go and Rust.

Although, while you can avoid CSP in Rust, you still can't create the issues presented in the articles due to lifetimes. You would have to quite explicitly and intentionally get your hands dirty with unsafe code in order to shoot yourself in the foot here.

> I disagree; mostly my evidence is "just google for volatile in C".

"volatile" has nothing to do with anything here. Not only that, it is an entirely useless construct, as it does not provide reordering guarantees (that is, while subsequent reads see a previous write, the reads and writes may be reordered so that the reads now happen before the write). Proper constructs use memory barriers.

However, neither of these constructs have bad effects on optimization, unless you are aiming for code that executes fast without working at all. Also, memory barriers are low-level primitives. Unless you are designing synchronization primitives, you shouldn't touch them.

"volatile" and memory barriers have no effect on process scheduling at all. It does, however, necessarily affect the CPU instruction pipeline, but once you get your hands this dirty, you're way out of the scope of high-level programming safety net. Down here, we work with assembly.
