> "FORGET...Progress"

I mean I completely agree, it's just for the modern reader infected with the victorian idea of "progress" (which has also polluted most people's understanding of how evolution works) this difference is even more profound.

There was a common belief in a largely static social order; why try for profound change? You can try to usurp the king, but that just shows that the old king was illegitimate, and anyway only certain people could get away with it.

But the other significant and related force was one of declinism: the romans had had a more advanced society (look at all their artifacts still around! Their literature!) and that, perhaps due to original sin, the then-current world was a less advanced society.

What's wrong with `#!/usr/bin/env sh`?
No, what “happened” is that detergent mostly isn't made for germ killing and heat even of typical (even older) hot cleaning cycled is insufficient to kill bacteria.

None of this is news.

Of course, people used to use actual (chlorine) bleach with laundry more often, rather than colorsafe “bleach”, and chlorine bleach does kill germs, so that's part of what happened.

Do they? My dishwasher pulls from both the hot and cold water lines. This is evidenced by the fact that although usually one has to run either tap for 2-3 min to get non-tepid water, when the dishwasher is running both taps dispense water of extreme temperature instantly.

> Wouldn't you expect to see some states to not comply then?

Not necessarily. Pretty much every state had to ask themselves the same question: "Do we care more about highway funding or the very small number of people 18-21 who vote?"

It's actually a very easy question in political calculus terms.

Right angle triangle demo
A little heads-up: "$var" does what you think, but "$(cmd)" likely does not do what you think:

- The former just gives you a string whose contents are identical to that of var.

- The latter would do similar for the output of cmd, except that it strips away the trailing newline. This is often not an issue, but can be crucially important in some cases, and can catch you off-guard.

The point I'm making here is that it's actually quite difficult to get a string that literally has the contents you want. The fact that *nix lets you put pretty much any characters in file names (even newlines) means that, just like in Windows, your scripts can actually fail even when you try to quote things "properly".
> This seems rather elementary/tautological/Econ-101 to me

If it does, it's only because you're deliberately engaging in tautology.

Not all human value can be expressed in monetary terms. At a minimum, market forces cannot and will not raise the dead any time soon. In death there is no recourse that will make you whole. No amount of money will restore the value to you. That's why regulation and prevention exists – because the market can't cheat death.
If the water is hot enough it should be fine. Just like boiling water kills bacteria. (And it doesn't have to actually reach boiling temp to kill the vast majority of pathogens.)
My bosh front loader does a 40°C cotton wash in just under 5 hours, or if I switch it to a 40°C mixed load it does the same content in 60 minutes, or 40 minutes if I tell it to consume more water and electricity.

I have no idea what the difference between the cotton and the mixed load settings is, but I usually do the shorter cycle if I have a lot of loads to do.

Yah, it would seem like that would work. When I first heard of this silliness I watched a couple youtube videos on the subject, and they have this tiny moon/sun thing that rotates around the disk... they would explain it away.

I've noticed that Americans seem to tumble dry everything. Here in New Zealand anyone with enough yard space for a washing line generally air drys their clothes unless it's rainy. In fact most of my clothes have Do Not Tumble Dry on the label, although that message is often a bit overzealous and can certainly be selectively ignored.

Depends on what you consider "filled". Most people or their living relatives saw some sort of action. But in many cases it was once-in-lifetime happening. On top of that, a big chunk of medieval wars were meet-you-in-a-field-out-of-town kind of affairs.

As for royal vs. peasant.. big chunk of "blue blood" royalty had genetic diseases thanks to intermarriage to keep pure blood.. Meanwhile peasants knew it's not good to marry exclusively inside of a village and tried to spice things up by mixing with neighbouring villages.

Yeah, I was surprised that live TV was still on the top and tied with smartphones in terms of hours per week for 25-34 year olds. I figure live sports makes up a majority of that.

This is absolutely hilarious. In all that research, find me one cite where someone (other than you) refers to all those cases under the umbrella term "property law". The notion is ridiculous on its face. It's not one area of law.

That's my point, except that I made it for IP specifically. If you're look up from your lexisnexis terminal for long enough to see the broader picture, you'd realize you agree with me me, like, really really hard.
They didn't need a nonzero amount of loss to motivate correction of their product's problem, they needed more than $123 million. The market did not provide that.

I think we can end this here. The idea that average Americans should "be mechanical engineers" just to not die in a preventable fire is insane and really not worthy of further discussion.
The problem was less technical, more psychological. Nobody wanted to sit near such a 140K rpm thing, with a razor sharp crazy sound. Worse then nuclear, which you don't hear at all.

The diarrhea analogy still stands.

Two restaurants:

The other serves whatever is on the menu all the time. It's $10/plate and each plate is diarrhea free.

Who pays for it? Cambodia's per-capita GDP is just under UD$1300. A third of the country earns less than US$1.90 a day. Its a poor country. From a developed-word perspective it makes sense to collect the trash, but their perspective may be very different.

The issue with Staph is that skin-to-skin contact, or the indirect version mediated by a mat, is more than enough for it go to "Yeah, I live here now..."
Might have something to do with the various eco- and energy efficiency labels [1]. I think they show absolute values for water and energy use, but wash efficiency is rated with letters (and the scale is probably set so that most get the A rating). This might create an incentive to try to push those figure down which need to be shown and just make the machine take more time. If you have already reached the maximum rating for washing quality, there may not be point to improve that at the expense of the other figures.

Most of the washing machine purchasing decisions must be based on the marketing fluff. I don't think there are many publications even on EU level which run and publish comprehensive tests for these machines. Without such objective tests, it is pretty much impossible to base the purchasing decision on hard facts (except those mandated to be reported by EU).

I remember reading that some washing machines actually did not even obey the request to use high temperatures, because the manufacturer had noticed that they can match the EU target for wash efficiency also with lower temperatures. Can't find any reference for this, so take this with a grain of salt.

And live sports are slowly moving online. The biggest problem, in my estimation, is the cost to consumers is very high per game (to make up for the large advertising spend on traditional TV broadcasts).

The downside of "the way of Japan" is that they'll shortly have no one to pay for all the old people. Keeping old people alive is expensive.

Chiming in for myself, no. Makefiles are more about dependency graphs and reproducible pipelines. I use them to make more sophisticated things than bash scripts, which are purely imperative.

That's not really compatible with piped output. The encrypted message can't be authenticated until it has been completely processed, but the whole point of piping is to output bytes as soon as they're available.

Perhaps the moral of this story is to disable GPG's pipe feature? But it's a legitimate and significant performance improvement for authentic messages. You "just" have to remember to check the error code and it's fine/safe.

Perhaps that's just too much to ask. Maybe we just can't have fast streaming decryption because it's too hard for client developers to use safely. But that point of view is at least not obvious.

(On the other hand, what were you planning to do with the piped output in the first place? Probably render it, right? If GPG clients stream unauthenticated bytes into a high-performance HTML renderer, the result will surely be efail.)

The author could have hardly chosen a poorer example to represent the concept of time:

> ... In so doing [Einstein] detached time from physical reality because time is perceived and understood by the motion of celestial bodies, which is independent of the hands of a clock.

In real reality, the motions of celestial bodies are measured by clocks incorporating atomic states, because the latter is so much more precise than the former. Basically, celestial bodies are nothing but big bumbling clocks. Yes, quite impressive and awe-inspiring clocks, but clocks nonetheless, and even less accurate than your GPS device. (Hence the necessity for leap seconds and all that.)
Some channels do not show commercials, and they show old movies that are not available elsewhere other than buying a DVD.

Both of those examples end up being fine. When quoted the entire variable is passed as a single WORD and the shell won't interpret the `;` as the end of the command. Even without quoting the variable it would be fine in this case because of where you've put the quotes, though you should still quote the variables. As a simple illustration take a look at the following:

function e() {
echo $#
}
$ x="hello world"
$ e $x

$ e "$x"

At least the standard "hamburger menu" opens a list of textually labeled options. That's better than icon-only toolbars.
Nothing. In the same way that states like California, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, and others have legalized marijuana. Marijuana is still technically illegal, but the federal government has no authority to regulate commerce within the state, and there is no law that stops the flow of federal funds for states which legalize marijuana, in the way that there are laws withholding funding for states that legalize alcohol below 21 years old.

When I was a kid, I was interested in game development & I found the e-mail address for someone at Infogrames that developed the Alone in the Dark game and said I was a young and learning game development and asked a bunch of questions. Surprisingly the contact whose e-mail address I found corresponded with me a few times about questions I had about developing video games. I somehow doubt that kind of thing would happen today but I'd probably be proven wrong. I then wrote it up as a Q&A and put it on my Geocities website :-)
The impact that John Carmack has on the industry is just ridiculous. Apple, NVIDIA, Facebook. As a teenage software engineer, he was a revered figure to me (and I wonder to how many others).

Well, if you want to work till death then be my guest.

If you believe that society should somehow support their old then I think that one should provide at least one replacement.

If you expect that somebodies else children should support you then I question your sanity. Why should they choose to do so?

If you think that you will be supported by riches you collect during your life time then keep in mind that riches are imaginary.

If you will have no children but 10 others will have 10 children (each) then which genes will prevail? Sustainable or not sustainable?

Edit: I think that it is sustainable to have 1 child per parent. It will keep the population constant. What is not sustainable is to have more than 1 per parent. If we could convince the majority of the world to follow this then the prospects will be much better than today.

What I consider a joke is a belief that if you die out next to the society with very high fertility then it somehow helps the planet. It does not make a dent.
I think leftpad was a bit different. Programming in JS you often need some dependencies. You could start from scratch and do everything in your own, but that's a huge time / resources sink.
