Why would one acknowledge that population density has a "negative causal impact" without evidence of such? You can argue that density and fertility are correlated, sure, but causation is a much higher bar. Why would you restrict the model such that you assume that any increase in density at any starting level of density would decrease fertility? Why would you assume that without evidence?
You're definitely not the only one. It's a very strange phenomenon: Golang developers insist their language is boring and uber-simple but every non-trivial Go codebase I've encountered has been anything but. It seems like the end result always involves a bad reinvention of exceptions using panic/recover, code that isn't type safe that has too many curly brackets... and lots and lots of code generation. Combined with immature tooling the result is horrifying. I'm by no means a Go expert and perhaps I'm just unlucky but that's been my experience. I certainly no longer volunteer dive into strange Go codebases like I might do with Java.

At this point I have to wonder if in 10 years the Golangers will actually find themselves in a good place. I don't see these codebases aging well at all.
Exactly.

I'll add, you accurately used the word shepherded and I thought, "I imagine there are times when sheep aren't too pleased to be handled by a crook". Maybe the Kernel Mailing List is Linus's crook...

People could (and probably would) still live in communities with common cultural and religious ties, even in a world without national borders. And, in this world of international borders, people from disparate backgrounds manage to immigrate and integrate just fine.

National boundaries don't really map to the borders of cultural and religious identity (as can be readily seen in the Middle East), so your argument here (which seems to be that the former is needed to preserve the latter) doesn't seem well supported.
This seems to be common in the defense industry: overpromise and underdeliver, because they know good money will be thrown after bad in an attempt to finish a bad project once they get the contract.

Well, for starters, "So yeah, everything you disagree with doesn't count. Thanks for wasting my time." is entirely uncivil by HN standards. So are "Grow up", "arguing with you is just a waste of time", and other things you've posted. Also, these comments are lacking in information other than that you're irritated, so they're unsubstantive in addition to uncivil.

As we tell everyone, please post civilly and substantively, or not at all. It isn't hard, but it requires wanting to use the site as intended.

I had the fortune to grow up simultaneously in a few variations of christianity. None of them dealt adequately with the argument why animals don't have souls, nor referred to the bible. It was just stated.

Also, none of the dealt with why a person who had never encountered the bible would go de facto to hell.

What you suggest, going after the illegal enterprises and not the money laundering, works when the money is from an illegal enterprise. It does not cover, for example, paying a bribe by overpaying for duff real estate.
That is a very narrow view of what you can do with computer programming. What about embedded software in pace makers than runs inside peoples hearts.

Yes, very much this. A lot of the effort was extremely in-depth planning for scalability with respect to both unbounded traffic growth/adoption and expanding the team. In fact I coded an initial prototype in about a month that could have run quite happily on a single instance and subsequently broken out into a typical LB/Autoscaling group/DB architecture without much trouble. Now we have about 7 core microservices which are independenty scalable and deployable, many of which we anticipate handing off to dedicated teams as we expand and hire.
All the +2k podcasts hosted on Podigee (a podcast hosting company mainly known in German-speaking countries) are distributed in opus. But it is, and probably will always be, a rather niche distribution format. AAC had its moment, but MP3 is alive and kicking.

If a page contains multiple sections it often waits ~10s until it's usable and I have to wait looking at rotating busy signs (compare e.g. NHL.com and its previous version that loaded instantly). Lately I am also getting extremely upset when on a recent i5 NUC just vertically scrolling on a trivially looking page stutters and NUCs fan goes to overdrive. It's getting ridiculous. It's not like you can pan in 2D or 3D an move in any direction, doing creative things, it's just a silly looking page with some title, links on the right and some images and embedded videos (just a large preview pic) in the main body.

See my comment below. It's a useful anecdote because the politician in question wasn't merely corrupt. He turned Tower Hamlets into an area with the same political problems of Bangladesh itself - possible because so many of the people who lived there were also from Bangladesh and were willing to e.g. act as enforcers, sell votes, exploit or be exploited by religious loyalties, take part in electoral fraud and so on.

By himself he couldn't have accomplished much, but with a large base of people for whom this sort of thing was culturally acceptable in that electoral ward, suddenly a part of London started to look politically much like a third world country.

Having interacted with immigrants from many different places, I find for a vast majority of them, the environment does in fact determine their culture. Are there a few for whom it doesn't? Sure. In the same way there are criminals even among people who grow up in such an environment.
Whenever someone does a bad job, there are others who could have done it better, but you couldn't have done that person's entire job better because you weren't available and didn't apply and probably weren't qualified for all their other roles.

I think the real problem is that Hawaii apparently has loose electrical safety regulations. Where I live, you're not allowed to wire your own fuse box. It might even be a criminal offence, but no homeowner would ever do that. If there are exposed live wires, then some electrician is responsible for that failure.

Disagree completely. Capital punishment has always been little more than ritual sacrifice. War itself may be little more than ritual sacrifice.
The fundamental problem is that if you do end up reimplementing a slightly better DOM yourself, you end up with (e.g.) 20 MB of browser and rendering code. This will have to be downloaded by the client. If this were a onetime thing (perhaps some kind of "install"), it wouldn't be a problem.

But browser caches aren't generally up to the task of making it a onetime thing because:

-They're usually pretty small.

-They'll evict pretty frequently.

-They're limited to same-origin, even if the content cached is exactly the same. (For security reasons, yes, but there's no way to opt out.)

If caches were fixed, I think we would see a much healthier web ecosystem. Incidentally, it would make the browser vendors themselves fairly obsolete, which is probably why it hasn't happened yet.

I think billybolton is right that HTML/CSS/JS/the DOM all kind of suck, and that they can't feasibly be replaced is problematic. The heroic modern struggle of the web ecosystem is an attempt to encapsulate and work around the suckiness.

That means anyone that wants to use a Rust crate that depends on a C library has to somehow install the C library. It's possible that's easy through a package manager, or maybe it's not, and you have to build the C library, and now you have to deal with C tooling.
Business Associate Agreement/Addendum.

Basically, when you are a covered entity -- someone who is directly required to comply with HIPAA because of what you do (for example, you're a doctor, or a pharmacy, or a health insurance company) -- any services or contractors/subcontractors you use that might end up handling protected health information as a result of what they do for you have to sign a BAA with you outlining what information they'll be receiving/handling and and how they'll be handling it, along with any specific requirements you each have to fulfill as part of your relationship.

So, for example, if you are a company in the health care industry (so you're a HIPAA covered entity) and you want to use AWS for some things that involve protected health information, you need a BAA with Amazon (and Amazon will happily sign one and take your money).

Google will also sign a BAA with you to let you use their cloud services, Google Docs, etc. Microsoft will sign a BAA with you. Sentry will sign a BAA with you so you can use it for monitoring on your systems. It's extra work, but health care is a big enough market to be well worth the trouble for these companies.

So many people miss this point. Most things in economics are positive sum games. But most people treat things like zero sum games (if someone gains something then I have less/am able to get less). But people produce products, people produce value. This is exactly why we have an economy. And it grows (meaning positive sum). We've left so much money and value on the table because of this.

As far as I know, enough podcast apps require MP3 (and not even VBR!) that you have to use MP3, and you can't have multiple <enclosure>s, so how would you do this? A separate RSS feed for Opus, linked only on the website and not submitted to aggregators?

This is really interesting:

It was then that the realization set in in the subreddit: after all these years, after hundreds of thousands of hours of theorizing and plotting and thinking and organizing, they might never find out the true identity of Lyle Stevik. His identity was known to the police, and to DNA Doe, but it was never revealed to the subreddit. And it might never be; as of press time, the family has declined to share the information.

It seems like there’s two ways to look at this. The first is... the subreddit didn’t materially contribute to solving the case, apart from putting up $1500 for DNA sequencing. The critical research was done by a specialist volunteer org, and law enforcement located and contacted the family.

It seems like being able to identify folks using genetic ancestry is a really valuable service; it also seems like a good thing that, to the average redditor, this service is a black box that produces a single bit of output. If the person (family, in this case) who has been identified doesn’t want their name to be public, that should be their choice.

So, that all is working as intended. But at the same time...

In 20 years, nobody ever put up the money for DNA testing. Why would they? There must be millions of cases like this, and for most of that time sequencing cost a lot more than $1500.

The price is still going down, so eventually someone would have done this. Maybe once the cost of sequencing hit $50, or $1. I don’t know, at what point do we start DNA testing every single cold case Doe, since forever? Probably not for a long, long time. Maybe long enough to be forgotten entirely.

The folks on the subreddit cared, is my point, when no one else did. They picked this person to care about, out of all the unsolved mysteries to choose from. I don’t think there’s any particular explanation; he just happened to catch their fancy, and then they spent a lot of time thinking about him. In a weird digital-era way, he was kind of their friend.

And it makes a lot of sense that there would be some shock and isolation at having their care rejected, having their “friendship” invalidated. I can get that. And I kind of think that if the family grokked how much these folks cared about their person, and how little anyone else did, their response might be a little different.
Contextually conflating capital punishment with ritual is I think wrong.
Makes sense--I agree.
The cultural differences between urban, suburban, and rural US are at least as great as the overall differences between the US and other countries, and I suspect you'd be weighing every word carefully if you tried making those same arguments for strong borders to keep the city people out of the suburbs or vice versa.
It could be just the perceived time in my head.

I remember seeing studies about progress bar lines can make the user perceive that progress is happening faster.

Either way, it’s a deterrent for me.

Looks like I misunderstood your comment (but it is sometimes about performance, there are people on that performance above everything world).

Yes, you are going into it wrong. What I can see on that comment is that:

- You expected to write a "mostly pure" program in a pure language. It won't let you do that, you will write a pure program. You also do not need to be careful in doing it. The most obvious thing you get on a strict language is carelessly - you don't have to care about things that the language does not allow. You focus on (re)writing your program.

- As a consequence of the first point, the more strict (on anything, including mutability) a language is, the easier it is to change old code, because you can assume a lot of stuff about it, and because you care less about making mistakes.

- Specifically about mutability, it does not take any control away. Mutable values are exactly as expressive as immutable ones. You can have mutability semantics on an immutable language, and most try to make it as near a first class syntax as possible, but the one change is that you will have to make it explicit, one way or another.

Well in case of Oracle JRE vs Azul Zing JRE they are both derived from OpenJDK and the technical differences are minimal. There is some minimal difference like Oracle has a (legacy) commercial font renderer and Zing is build with LLVM instead of GCC by default.

Almost all OS'es besides Windows and OS X (So Linux distros, FreeBSD, SmartOS, etc) already build and distribute OpenJDK themselves. So this is all really just about Windows and OS X. You can easily compile OpenJDK yourself but I would recommend anyone to just move to Azul Zing and you won't notice any difference from the Oracle JRE.

There are also full fledged JVM's which have their own codebase like OpenJ9 (the formally IBM JVM which is now opensourced under Eclipse governance), Azul Zulu (not to be confused with Azul Zing!), etc. These are all Java compatible JVM implementations and have their own pros and cons. Zulu for example is a commercial JVM that has a pauseless garbage collector. So to be clear; These are NOT derived from OpenJDK.

Some background on JRE vs JDK. The JRE is the Java runtime environment so basically the JVM plus soms tools. This is what you need to run Java applications. The JDK also contains the Java compiler and some development tools.
This is kind of a neat idea.

Especially, it feels like fertile ground for speculative fiction about what would happen if it were collectivizable...

That is because we already let immigration happen. And it supports my thesis really well, as this immigration lead to severe problems amongst groups of different cultural backgrounds.

> People could (and probably would) still live in communities with common cultural and religious ties, even in a world without national borders.And, in this world of international borders, people from disparate backgrounds manage to immigrate and integrate just fine.

Those groups living clustered together isn't integration but segregation.

This has always been the case. Filezilla offers two versions for Windows and macOS on their website: Bundled and non-bunbled. You get the bundled version when you click "Download FileZilla Client" and then the big green "Download FileZilla Client" button (assuming you're visiting the website from a Windows or macOS client): "This installer may include bundled offers." makes this also very clear. In order to get the clean version, you have to click "Show additional download options" and then pick the version you want. For anyone saying that Filezilla can't be trusted anymore due to doing this, it's still open source and you can check out and build the code yourself: https://filezilla-project.org/sourcecode.php
