Actually, that's not the latest news on that. I looked up that case on scotusblog & it was vacated based on the result of "National Institute of Family and Life Advocates v.

But in all seriousness, the point of colonizing Mars is not to be a replacement for Earth (although redundancy is quite motivating).

It's because colonization and population growth has been our MO for the last 200,000 years.

Hey try reading this article by Tim Urban
https://waitbutwhy.com/2018/04/picking-career.html
This is something that I've come to discover over the past couple of years. People tend to think that other people like them less than they actually do. People will often think "oh wow, that person is great, I really want to spend more time with them", but then won't push the relationship (platonic or not) further because they're uncertain if the feelings are mutual. I've missed out and let a lot of relationships and friendships fade because of these feelings.

In general, we tend to have a lower opinion of ourselves than what other people do. As the study says, we're a lot more aware of our fears and insecurities than the people we interact with, as people aren't mind readers.

> Finally, simply ending an initial conversation with “I really enjoyed speaking with you” can help take the ambiguity out of the exchange

Reaching out like this and making positive statements can mean a lot to the person you're talking to. I've found it really strengthens a relationship to make these kinds of positive comments. You feel awkward the first few times you say it, because we're so unused to making meaningful compliments about people's personalities, but it's a really good thing to do. Saying something like "I really value our friendship" can absolutely make someone's day.
Sure, I follow the categorical imperative myself.

The author had a chance to make his CoC the golden rule. But instead he made a deeply religious statement. He has full right to do what he wants, but to also claim that this is somehow inclusive because you can close your eyes to things incompatible with you is nonsense, sorry.

All religions teach largely the same good things, but you generally won't see their devotees agreeing to any document that proclaims their love for a different God.

And yet atheists are expected to swallow that. No thanks.
Or, the things the tests select for are gradually falling out of favor in our education system and society at large. Pollutants don’t seem like an unreasonable hypothesis either, though.

> Go isn't really in the same league as Rust, C++, or C. It's syntax is deceptively C like, and it has an equally poor type system, but it's performance is closer to Java, which is a few orders of magnitude slower than C++. Despite pushing outdated concepts like null and raw pointers on to the programmer, it has a runtime with a stop the world GC with no guarantees about object placement on the stack or heap

Man, stating your opinions as fact is one thing, but every other claim you made above is empirically incorrect. Rust is a fantastic language on its own merits; no need to make stuff up about “the competition”.
I've a fun one: The BlackBerry KEYone and KEY2 have a physical button called the Convenience Key that can be set to any app or shortcut. I set mine to a Tasker shortcut that changes what it does based on the day and time (mostly based around my daily commute, for bus prediction times and an e-reader).
100% false, you literally cannot even write the RFP to bid a scanning job for $3,000.

This is classic from folks like this. They are always like, here - you do the work, it will only cost $3,000.

The state should seriously offer them this deal. You properly bid, contract, insure, fight the appeals, do all the specialized hiring, handle all the HR and disability and other claims and scan the 100 years of records for $3,000 while working weird hours with a unionized workforce.
But, why fixate on turning one planet into “habitable” while we do the opposite to the one we are already on? I’d like to see us address those issues of society first before we spread our influence across the literal galaxy.
Pollution might make sense if the decline was measured worldwide, but it's localized to Northern Europe, where pollution has generally declined over the last several decades.
With optical cameras, wifi and Bluetooth signatures, location data, 3rd party databases, and ML, there is more than enough data to get an ID enough shoppers to care.

No, they are not. By design.
No, I'm complaining that things which seem like 'features' are nested under 'accessibility'. But maybe I'm reading too much into it.

edit: Anyway that was Don's main point.

edit2: oh I also found this kinda funny, as another example: Note I've turned on 'reachability' in the 'accessibility' tab. This accessibility option allows people using their phone with one hand to swipe down at the bottom of the screen to shift icons from the top-half to the bottom-half, so if you're an 'inaccessible' like me who doesn't have thumbs that reach the top corners of the screen, you can still use those apps.
No, this attitude is harmful. First, because it dilutes the meaning of the word "politics", which describes something much more specific than "everything". And second, because as you point out in your last sentence, politics is something that can and should be kept separate from many aspects of life.

Inviting politics where it does not belong particularly harms vulnerable populations, because politics is about the use of power and force. We agree to leave our politics at home in many realms of life, and this allows us to band together regardless of our political differences to prevent greedy and powerful people from exploiting those realms.
A good currency is focused on being a good medium of exchange, not a good store of value.

> There were a lot of good ideas over the years (especially in Plan 9) and Go is really just a modern, polished revision of those ideas glued together.

Plan 9 is an operating system. If you're referring to goroutines, CSP is completely unrelated to any of the work done at Bell Labs. That was Hoare. Go also kept a ton of terrible ideas, like nil, void (interface{}), and default mutability.

> Go is a _systems_ language at heart.

It really bothers me when people say this, because it's just untrue regurgitation from the Go team. It's not a systems language. It's a language that's pretty good for small web services. It has expensive interop (Solomon Hykes commented on this during one of his Gotime interviews) with C (even the Go team says cgo is not Go).

> It's easy to drop into assembly for ultimate optimizations.

You can only drop down into Plan 9 assembler, which is essentially useless. Write me an SGX lib without cgo in x86 and you can make that claim.
Right, seems obvious now, thanks
Seriously - these tech companies have burn rates in the millions PER MONTH. I frankly wouldn't be surprised if ancestrery is doing over $1B per year.

This is not about how much money "ancestrery" has to burn. I have also bid government jobs; almost none of the expenses you mention have anything to do with safely handling vital records. In fact, they are inefficiencies that the government is not legally permitted to pass along to records requestors.

I'm not sure what your dog in this fight is, but you clearly have one. I would certainly be curious to know what would make you think that records required to be legally accessible to the public should only be available to those with burn rates in the millions PER MONTH.
I’m shocked that Rust only gave you a 2X improvement over Python (I’ve rewritten a handful of Python services to Go and typically see 100-1000X improvement). What is the bottleneck? Was scaling horizontally an option?
I don't think we can rule out an evolutionary explanation so quickly. We are starting to get firm genetic evidence that something like dysgenics is occurring in Iceland, for example:http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2017/01/10/1612113114

There is also a plausible mechanism of action, intelligent people tend to get an education proportionate to their intelligence. Educated people have ridiculously low birth rates. Intelligence is heritable.

Just like conservatives will have to overcome their global warming denial, those of the progressive tradition may well have to start accepting what cognitive genomics is making increasingly obvious: intelligence is hereditary and this has policy implications.

Should it prove to be a genetic decline, we have solutions, such as embryo selection, in the wings that can work now with little research. This will get us ~3-8 IQ points per generation:https://www.gwern.net/Embryo-selection

Iterated embryo selection and genetic engineering will be able to offer much more, several standard deviations in multiple traits simultaneously.

But we cannot repair problems we refuse to look in the face.
My own personal hypothesis on this: it's clear that one skill that used to be important is now much less important, and that's memory. When I was a kid I remembered dozens of phone numbers, now I know about 3. My fear, though, is that other higher order thinking skills are still very dependent on memory, and as we need to exercise our memory less frequently, other parts of our cognitive abilities suffer.
tl;dr: despite being relatively slow Python is a fantastic glue language. Some people thing rust is well positioned to steal Python's dinner.

Again, you seem to be under some misapprehension that we are a company or are “bidding” on a project. Please educate yourself about state Freedom of Information Laws or Sunshine Laws.

We appreciate hearing that our work is “impossible” from people like you, especially since we’ve been doing it very successfully for four years now, and have so far put over 25,000,000 records online for totally free public use. This includes acquiring and publishing millions of records in New York City alone: marriage license indices from two different agencies, voter lists, and so on...

And we did it at a very reasonable $35 or $37 per microfilm roll. Because that’s what the law requires.

And thanks to the generosity of the Internet Archive, we don’t even have any server storage bills.
You seem to be under the mistaken impression, that burdened under 100's (literally) of rules, the govt can do a one off special project like this for $3,000. Seriously, I've fought the goverment too, and won, on some stupid requirements that were explicitly revoked at higher levels of govt but hadn't filtered down.

That one issue (went through chain to their legal team, and back a few times) cost more than $3,000 of the governments time.

You are constantly making the claim that the government is charging 50x what it should cost. You are wrong. Period. I've paid a relative fortune to have the government run a select query on a database. And they still messed it up, I could probably have run it in 30 seconds.

If scanning records is something you do, then I would STRONGLY suggest rather than trying to get the government to figure out how to scan records, you, without calling the rules silly, develop some experience scanning the records yourself. If you offer to scan, with experience, insurance, good equipment etc and make the stuff available for free - you will be welcomed in many places.

Now you are suing because they gave you the records free that someone else either paid the govt to prepare (unlikely - that would have been a SLOW process) or prepared themselves and gave a copy to the government (which was probably not required)? I find that pathetic. NY did a good thing by having the first requestor make available a copy for others.
The OP only doubled their performance by rewriting in Rust though...
In my case, I felt that I desperately wanted to work hard, but getting into a state of flow was rare, and as deadlines approached I often felt like I was pushing an unstable boulder uphill, like Sisyphus. This caused, and sometimes still causes, some terrible procrastination issues. I felt so guilty when I turned in mediocre efforts when I could have done so much more. In my case, it turned out to be anxiety issues (though everyone is different). Now that I recognize what was going awry, I can face it head on, and I am getting better every day.

It sounds like you're doing all that you can, friend. By the way, I think you're selling yourself short; you're a great communicator, especially for someone writing in a non-native language. That is absolutely NOT the mark of a lazy or unclever person.

Best of luck in your future endevours! :)
Or rather, why would one want devices recognizing and creating permanent records? Police can unlock by pointing it to your face.
Apple may have a better track record than most, why I own an iphone, but unlocking a device was never a burden to me. It's a button press if you've done it recently.
I attribute that to the lack of boredom in young people. When I was young I was bored at least from time to time. This led to doing mischief but also to use the brain and invent something entertaining to waste time.

Now distractions are all around us (play stations and TV on demand) or with us (smart phones). No more need for being imaginative.

There is also this interesting correlation of declining crime rate which can be attributed to kids wasting time with play stations rather than hanging out in the street.

have discussed this with close friends. In the past we perceived that and considered declining intelligence as an assumption, with recent articles like that it seems to be a fact.
i fail to see how the difficulty of problems and in particular how "commit yourself to delivering progress to consumers, and adapting to what that entails" make "not falling in love with the solution" bad advice.

you are absolutely right that the real focus should be to improve the lives of people. but that is tangential to focusing on problems vs solutions.

when someone is in love with their solution, the first step is to realize that they need to focus on the problem, and then the next is that they need to focus on the people whose problems they are trying to solve.

so the advice in the article is ok, it could probably be better...

greetings, eMBee.

Clearly the correct answer is spaces. /s

Seriously though, I like python because not only is it pretty, it's also concise. While it's not perfect, a lot of time has been spent on language features to make them easily comprehendable.

The lesson for me from python is that UX is important, even in programming languages.

> I can relate with some parts of this story. Used to be a "throwaway" kid with no future, dropped out of high school, etc.

> The best advice I can give you is to not care about education (it's a waste of time for the most part) and learn to solve real problems. Every second of your free "work" time (don't forget to also take time off to go out and enjoy yourself) should be invested into your skills so you get a return on that investment later. When you're doing something, ask yourself how is this relevant to your goal of earning money and whether it will give you a skill/experience you can reuse later. If it can't, then stop and do something else.

Capitalism at work :), but yes. I also find it hard to self-asses if what I am doing sometimes is "lucrative" or not.

> Learn a web framework (I recommend Django); web development is easy and doesn't require advanced theoretical knowledge (where a CS degree might actually be useful), pays well and will stay relevant even in the "apps" era as those still need a backend server to talk to. This will also give you the ability to build projects end-to-end which is extremely valuable when you're trying to launch your own startup and don't necessarily have the funding to pay someone just to make you an MVP.

Okay, I could get started on that. Thanks for making a specific recommendation, I'll look into it for sure.

> Once you do this, build a few projects, open-source them (just so you have a portfolio to show off) and then move out to London or similar non-shit town where people are valued by their experience and skills instead of meaningless pieces of paper (I am from France and this was the situation there, and I assume Spain is sadly similar although there might be a startup scene in Barcelona so maybe try there?).

Hahaha, I can't move out of Spain atm because of family reasons sadly so London is a big no-no for me and sadly Barcelona is expensive "af^99" compared to literally anywhere else in Spain, except maybe Bilbao or Madrid especially housing wise. I've heard about Barcelona's vibrant startup scene (afaik it's the biggest one in S. Europe) and I also speak Catalan Natively but I'm not Catalan (actually it's my "first-first native language, other than Spanish" which means I am already ahead integration wise vs other people there, but again it's just too darn expensive. But I guess I'll see if I make it after vocational school.

I've read the situation in France in regard to what we call here "titulitis" (titulo-> degree, "degreetitis" making it sound like a bad medical condition) and that it's hard for people there to get an engineering job unless they have master.

In Spain it's also bad but afaik with Vocational School it's better but not great.

Also, we got fucked pretty hard with the Bologna Plan in regard to unis.

If anyone who reads this understands Spanish, this video is a must watch to just comprehend how much we got royally fucked over: https://youtu.be/sUYBKSm9Si4

Waterloo has an okay robotics scene. Though they generally pay poorly and most suffer from startup-itis. I've heard what I'll call "rumours" that the founders are generally in bed together to keep local talent competition low.

From the F.A.Q.

" How do I know whether a variable is allocated on the heap or the stack?

From a correctness standpoint, you don't need to know. Each variable in Go exists as long as there are references to it. The storage location chosen by the implementation is irrelevant to the semantics of the language."

My opinion is that you have a close division of very good students, good students, average students, mediocre student, etc. in both the public schools and the more private ones.
