This is just a demonstration of the different worlds we live in. There are countless examples of CEOs getting sacked for gross mismanagement and then rehired in a new executive role. Unlike other time periods it's easier (not easy) for people to enter that strata of society but once you're in it seems like you're set for life and the worst that can happen is you get setup with a cushy job with generous paycheck to basically not cause any more trouble.
Even then the states don't really have control. Me and my friends can decide to do whatever we want. We listen to the government because it's hard to coordinate and no one else has stepped up. No one really has any control.
But being contrarian to anything to do with blockchain/crypto is definitely a way to get comment upvotes on HN.
_If_, as stipulated, fusion energy will become as good as free, people will switch away from coal not because of the environment, but because it’s cheaper. That doesn’t require a shift in world view.

On the other hand, we would really need that shift in world view. Without it, global warming would be avoided, but I fear we would destroy the world even faster than we do now.

Free energy makes anything produced automatically free. That means we could afford more disposable junk, more and bigger houses, more and bigger cars, likely even flying ones, with many flying supersonic.

Increased mobility would mean less pristine wilderness (if energy is free, any group of people could afford to do a mini burning man anywhere in the States)

Also, we would also scrape the ocean floor for minerals, destroying the ocean.

Finally, I am more cynical w.r.t. poverty. We already could have solved it, but didn’t. Why would that change?
Essentially, yes. And if you want it to be pretty, it gets complicated quickly.

I'm waiting for you guys to implement a separate "screen" or "application" on all slots, which is a cryptocurrency or Forex or CFD (or even pretend "securities") client hooking up to the casinos' central exchange system, and the casino takes no positions long or short but just charges a very small % tx fee on each transaction. If it's cryptocurrency, then have 1:1 conversion between cryptocurrency and the various chip species each representing said currency (like Doge chips, Litecoin chips, Bitcoin chips, Ethereum chips, etc) so the incentive to trade on the slots is that the player can then gamble the objects of trade directly. The keys (or casino crypto exchange authentication data) can be stored on smart card and can be carried around by the gambler. Then it's a matter of having various slots and tables which accept these other cryptos in addition to their existing dollar variants. It's like having Euro machines and tables, Renminbi machines and tables, etc.

Your comment shows utter ignorance about what's happening — or already happened — in virtually every major city in every developed country.
Okay. Regardless, it is the commonly accepted English spelling (whereas Peking is not), and is not used in Chinese (except in unusual situations). So comparing it to Türkiye vs Turkey makes no sense, which was my point.
The code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules.
Rocket does, but there are other quite popular frameworks that do not.

So now every program that interacts with the registry in that way needs to implement transactional IO operations correctly and sanely, and if they don't bad things will happen? A thing that is so complex Microsoft is considering deprecating it due to that alone?

You also didn't mention concurrent access, or think about random code writing random completely invalid data into files, or consider how you would evolve the on disk format.

That sounds awful burdensome for a simple key-value api. Perhaps you could use some kind of service to shield clients from that complexity, and so you don't have one dumb program messing the entire registry up for everyone else.

That would be cool. You could call it the registry service.
When it comes to individual protections specifically around searches and especially speech protections, the UK, Canada and Australia are far less free than the United States.
Python, Ruby, and JS/ES are all on the same side of the Smalltalk family tree, aren't they?

On another side of the Smalltalk family tree, languages like Java embraced a kind of static typing and found strong success with it, leading to the promotion of strongly-typed structures over lambdas. This side, ironically, did the most work on JITs, which are meant to compensate for dynamic language features, and languages like Dart are still marrying JIT techniques to strong static type systems today.

And on another side of the Smalltalk family tree, languages like E are fully oriented around objects with rights, so that instead of structures which can be examined, values must have messages sent to them instead. Homoiconicity, lambdas, pattern-matching lists, and other staples of Scheme are nonetheless common in E and Monte.

I think that the Smalltalk family, overall, could be viewed as a response to the barren syntactic landscape of Lisp, but I think that they could also be viewed like any other language: Taking what they like from ancestors, and not taking what they don't like.
That's it, you're under arrest for breaching the law that forbids ending comedy sketches with the intervention of a policeman. Oh, wait a minute... this is a feck up!
In practice, yes they do have control. If Oregon decides tomorrow to officially give up DST, then everyone in Oregon would start using that new time zone.

Not sure what point you’re making other than that in general, the existence of states depends on people recognizing them and following their rules, which is true but doesn’t have much to do with DST specifically.
I wonder if it's possible to create some Paternon-like project that is inclusive, proportional to use, and does not fall victim to politics or administrative take-overs.
Sex ed is bullshit, it has no relation to teen pregnancies. It is all depend on the community and culture. Hassidic Jews practice abstinence and no sex-ed with almost 0% teen pregnancy. The UK has sex ed and probably one of the highest rates of teen pregnancy in the west and don't get me started on black communities in the US. So while I agree with what you said in general this example is a very bad one.
I've always been good in Jeopardy. I suppose I'm a well of useless trivia. Well, the other night I tuned in to Jeopardy after years of not watching the show. (Literally years because I've been busy with my job and life.) I was surprised at how quick I was, as before, and didn't skip a beat. Somehow I can retrieve the same data after stagnant use in my brain. The reason I'm pointing this out is because I'm also a classic multi-tasker at my developer job and can relate to this article. The difficulty I have is not from a memory decline, but something else. The nature of work has changed. It's like the quest for higher profits--same with work.

That took me back a few years. My Dad's cousin had a 7-Eleven franchise when Southland Corp. still owned them. We could drop in any time and get a Slurpee, Big Gulp, a Tony's heat-em-up pizza, or like he mentions in the video - some nachos with all that chili and cheese. Wow.

The one in my home town was remodeled by the owner after it became obvious that people would be standing around the arcade games dropping quarters all day long if you'd let them. He made it convenient. He added a wall inside the store that led all the people who thought they were just stopping for gas and a quick piss right past the row of arcade games. Many of them stopped long enough to spend a quarter or two more than they thought they would when they stopped there.

Not much to do in that town but make the drag - literally drive back and forth all night on the main highway thru town hoping to attract free beer, lonely women, or some dipshit who thought his car was faster than yours. The pool hall was downtown and the highways in were lined with beer joints and bbq shacks. Pretty good combination when resources were pooled.

From the click-clack in the video I'm thinking his girlfriend Mindy shot the video. I wish I had owned a video camera back in the day. All I have are still photos and memories. Thanks for jogging my memory.
What I have found very help is keeping a log of everything that I am doing on a single task. So ever 15 minutes or so, I just write done a small paragraph or even a sentence of what is going on for a particular task. I find that doing this really helps me get back on track if I am disturbed or have to focus on something else for a short while.
Hell of a lot cleaner too.

Of course, we all know that electronic voting machines are still made by humans.
No, neither of those? My per-km costs have been about 30% maintenance, which is pretty reasonable for a $10k econobox between 60k-120k km. I DIY the easy stuff like oil changes or tire rotations, but that bill includes several major maintenance items where I paid dealership labour rates. (shock/strut replacement, broken filler flapper, brake job, water pump replacement)

To be clear, the $155/m is for marginal costs, total marginal+fixed is $155+$75= $230/m.

I don't think the fact that Rust is introducing features at a brisk pace, and the fact that people start writing libraries around them before they're released, have anything to do with whether Rust's backward and forward compatibility policies are good or bad.

It seems unlikely, if Rust's policies do a good job of maintaining guarantees in a chaotic environment like that, that they would fail in a more placid environment.
There's nothing wrong with wanting to uphold high standards. If the feedback makes his peers better in their practices, then it's a net positive.

But note the crucial difference: In the case of the Therac-25, this was merely the explanation, and explaining what causes an issue is crucial to fixing it. It was treated as a software problem, and the vendor was liable. Here it's used to inappropriately blame the user.

The state of Texas should sue Hart eSlate and cite the Therac-25 story to argue that 30 years later, anyone halfway competent should know how to avoid race conditions in a user interface.

Statement from Professor Yonatan Aumann, advisor to Tel Aviv-based LawGeex, on LawGeex AI:

“The technology has been developed through a combination of supervised and unsupervised learning techniques. Unsupervised learning was used for teaching the AI engine the core legalese language. Thereafter, supervised learning, using deep learning multi-layer LSTM and convolution technology, was used to train the system for the fine-tuned issue-spotting. Supervision was performed based on human-annotated documents, using legal experts. A unique augmentation algorithm was applied to boost learning from these examples. The overall result is the most advanced technology for the automatic analysis of legal documents. The p-value for the statement that accuracy of AI is above that of these lawyers is 0.0068 (using MannWhitney’s U test).

The largest part of the problem is that the software we're directly interacting with has been designed by companies with interests directly contrary to ours!

I have two adult sons. They were online as early as ages 2 and 5. I beg to differ and all that.

If kids are being ignored and not getting their needs adequately met, etc, then what happens online can have a huge adverse impact on them. But I don't think this is a problem we solve by trying to "fix software." This is a problem we solve by trying to fix social fabric.
They're basically the ratio of two vectors, if that helps.

Just tried using Firefox Quantum 62.2.2 on Debian with different configurations - NoScript enabled and disabled, and tracking protection enabled and disabled. Can't seem to replicate what you're getting.

What browser and OS are you using?
Do you have any plugins/extensions active? (Ad blockers, etc. I don't run any, NoScript does a better job.)
I've gone back and forth (and I probably spend more time thinking about tools at the expense of solving problems). I have a lot of git repos with either 1 commit or where I never even bothered committing. If you're programming you can just tar up the source folder and call it a day. 95% of the use case for VCS is committing to a single tree. Depending on what you're doing, it's rare you'll even look backward. If so, timestamps and usernames are often good enough (you wont even look at the code). It takes a lot of upfront work to be able to write a new unit test then run it on the source history to see when the regression was introduced (even though I think that's really cool).

The huge benefit of VCS is project management, which most people brush off as much as possible. Git and SVN provide models where responsibility is clear. For one person, it's a bit ridiculous to stage, commit, push, merge, build, test, release, but necessary when you get a few people involved or what to share the source code.

Artists are a different beast. First off, artists are often delivering art and never have to open the project again. It's like if programmers were hired for a couple hours to a couple weeks and only ever handed over binaries with no expectation to ever support or revisit it. For programming, a directory along with a series of files make up a project. For a lot of artist tools there's a monolithic binary project file. Generating "deliverables" are often done manually or configured inside the monolithic project file, where programmers would write a separate build script. Both with programmings and artists they mix project files, intermediate data, and deliverables all together. Programmers and scientists are the only ones with the motivation and technical skill to tease that apart and push for changes.

“Contrarian” implies there’s some kind of consensus that blockchain projects are useful. They’re not, as evidenced by the minuscule numbers of actual users. All the talk of “crypto Web 3.0” is total bullshit with no plausible path to executing on any of the promises made.

But of course there’s thousands of people who still hope to make rich like the 2017 ICO scammers, so the hype train rolls on with these pointless expensive conferences around the world where the faithful console themselves that another boom is surely coming. The crypto-faithful are the contrarians.
I wonder how today's screens compare with the effects of TV on kids growing up before the internet?
I'm curious to know some examples of what is and isn't permitted. The flashing lights, interesting but not too interesting ding-dong-boom sounds, the loud massive amping up when you win something, all that is allowed and I believe (though don't quite have a source at hand) that these are provably enticing hooks. I'm sure there are things that aren't, but I'm curious as to what.

I'm also curious about want Candy Crush does that a slot machine can't by regulation? Is it a level of interactivity?
Poor start-up founders! No wifi and cheap snacks for them. Instead, those spaces will be given to a non-profit donation platform and to an organization that supports children and young people in need.

Easier absolutely means something and I'm not suggesting we dump democracy.

FYI - most of your government, wherever you are from, is run by bureaucratic edict, not by political means.

The heads of government agencies often wield immense power and have no need to respond to voters interest because there's effectively too much 'on the ballot' so to speak, and too much mundane detail for voters to understand.

An technical that transcends agencies though ... my god man.

The government of Canada's (and probably the US as well) IT situation is a massive mess, there's no consistency across organizations, there's no concept of identity management across entities, let alone for the general public. Nothing is integrated, nothing works. You can have a doctor examine you in one place and it's very difficult to get your medical history across to a different entity. Try even finding a doctor? Who's available? Who's not? My health is at risk, I want to know where I can get a doctor? Nope. Shut up, we can't figure that out, it's too hard - go to a clinic and just see whoever is on duty - is the only answer. I would vote for a bunch of ex-Google PM's and Engineers to literally take over my nations IT (especially in Health) to simplify and scale it. Or at least to have it under the control of one entity.

An unmaintained package doesn't need new features from then-future versions of Go, so it's fine if you declare the current version as your max. It doesn't break in the new version, it just doesn't have access to features introduced after the max version.
Really, if you are going down that road I prefer manually blending the different exposures in Photoshop. 5 years ago, that is how I dealt with bracketed exposures as well. Back then HDR still had a very definite look which I really tried to avoid.

I'm drawing a parallel between editions and Go's planned "go2" compatibility.

Whether Rust has some differences in its versioning, the situations are similar enough that I assert Rust's choices are relevant.

The fact that Rust itself may or may not have stability or backwards compatibility (I mean, I think it objectively does) isn't actually as important as the fact that the rust team wants to have those things and has thought hard about basically the same problem Go is tackling now, and has already taken the effort to write down its thoughts and conclusions.

If you want to claim I shouldn't bring up Rust's "editions" work, I'd rather you talk about the "editions" RFC rather than Rust's slightly different versioning scheme.

It's worth keeping Greenwich Mean Time as the time used in Greenwich, London and Britain. When arranging meetings etc, it's sometimes confusing to people far away from Britain that, during the summer, it's not "GMT" in London. That would be worse if Britain decided to use GMT+1 permanently.

What other countries do leads on from that, otherwise there's not much point to timezones.

If someone would choose to not vote in a particular race on their ballot because they didn't know which candidate was the (D) and which was the (R) that's hardly disenfranchisement.

But it's also not the main point I was trying to argue.
It is the word the Chinese would like non-Chinese to use when talking about the city. It’s a classic example of modern cultural re-appropriation, because Peking was the widely-accepted transliteration - until attitudes (and power) changed and the Chinese asked the world to use Beijing instead. It wouldn’t be particularly far-fetched to imagine Turks might also ask the world, eventually, to use their own spelling to refer to the country - especially considering the unfortunate overlap of the word “turkey” in English.
