I don't think sex addiction is a thing... Sounds a bit like oxygen addiction.

What is more real is sexual desperation...

If we take the number of women vs men, that have sexual addiction, and we corollate it with sexual partner availability. We can clearly notice that sexual addiction is not a thing. Sexual desperation is a thing. The less sex a man gets the more he thinks he should be having it.

Because we live in a society where men think that they should be getting sex like a pornstar when in reality most are in the 80% group that barely gets any sex.
At the same time, most women can have a sexual relationship at any time at practically no cost.
I was wondering the same, the feature he is talking about is excellent and done better than any other editor or IDE I've used, but somehow I don't think that's what he means.
It never really occurred to me how utterly foreign reading was. I guess it makes sense because, like the article mentions, it's such a recent innovation that a dedicated region hasn't yet evolved in us. I never thought about the actual deep changes in the brain that must happen when learning.

When I read a book, I'm often totally transported into that world. I wonder if areas of my brain invoved with vivid dreaming are being activated when I am in this state.
In theory (!), Goland recently added support for reverse debugging of Go code via rr:

When I am at a loss for something to read and I want something that is usually a low-effort but very good read, i throw darts at the Pulitzer for fiction list.

I'm reading Greer's "Less" today, the most recent winner, and it is really pretty great.

If you haven't read Hemingway, "The Old Man and the Sea" is a pretty good starting point.

If you are into post-apocalyptic fiction at all, you need to read McCarthy's "The Road"

(Note, if you want Steinbeck - personally, I liked 'Of Mice and Men' a lot more than "The Grapes of Wrath" but both are good. Just saying I don't always side with the committee)

I mean, we can argue all day about what the best book is, but everything on that list is going to be both very good and usually quite accessible; you will note that Joyce is conspicuously absent, and a few of these are assigned reading in high school.

If you want to read stuff before that (and get free books from gutenberg!) I recommend you check out Mark Twain and Joseph Conrad. Both are excellent. "The end of his tether" is my favorite Conrad. "Roughing it" is my favorite Twain.
> To ensure politicians have to work for your vote.

By not voting you're telling politicians that you don't matter and they will believe you.

> Better in what way?

As I said in my first post, compulsory voting helps get the money out of politics and moderates the extremes of policy. Less money is wasted on campaigning and policies must appeal to a broader group of people.

Not a terrible idea to build two campuses along the Accela line. There probably are other opportunities like this for bigger metro areas along the Accela corridor.
It’s curious how there seem to be 2 schools of thought in this thread; always with the ambulance or ambulance only when required.

I’m not totally sure why it’s created such a huge disagreement. Obviously there are some injuries which totally don’t need an ambulance, and some which do, and then a big grey space in the middle where it’s harder to tell. Unfortunately, in some places (like here in the UK), there aren’t the resources to err on the side of caution as much as in other places (by the sounds of some commenters). Being able to have an ambulance arrive within 10 minutes for any situation sounds like a wonderful luxury if you have infinite resources to burn. I personally was impressed they dispatched an ambulance when we delivered our baby at home (on the bedroom floor!). But I also felt a bit like it was a resource that might have been wasted.

In some way it does, but I think a lot of us have an instinctive understanding of the message, being constantly told - first by parents, then by society at large - that attempts to improve things are weird and should be abandoned.
You make it look like those people are really invested in democracy so they wanted to build an app to make people vote, were looking for organisations to help them and only found help in organisations from the left. But, most likely, they were leftists to begin with and created these seemingly neutral apps to push the dem vote.

Targeting multiple architectures is a solved problem, as you said with LLVM. I don't know if that's how WASM is currently implemented, as a LLVM front-end, but I'm pretty sure most implementations in fact are proper native compiled, or they intend to be. As I said it would be silly to do it any other way.
Fortunately we can work in parallel. Switching anything from burning whatever it's burning to electricity is a huge win, because electricity sources can be changed independently of electricity consumers. Today's electric cars powered by coal are tomorrow's electric cars powered by solar, wind and nuclear, with no involvement of the car owners required.

I don't think individuals require deep change in order to solve climate change. Most sources of emissions when broken down by industry ultimately just point back to the energy generation.

The only deep change that an individual can do that will make an actual impact is going vegan. Adding solar panels to your roof is not a drastic change, in fact in Australia it makes good economic sense. Driving an electric car is not a radically different experience to driving an ICE car. Telecommuting and working more days from home is, for many people, a desirable change to the way we work.

Once coal and then gas has been eliminated, 99% of new model cars are electric and lab grown beef matches the taste and texture a real cow the problem will be 80% solved. All of this can be achieved without a single person needing to change their lifestyle.
I suspect we both had the same frustrating conversation with our head teacher :-)
Yes, so there are n! = 87,178,291,200 different permutations of those 14 sequences. You want to watch the 14 episodes in every possible order, ie in each of those permutations. You could just watch all of those permutations consecutively, for n x n! episodes in sequence, which would be 1,220,496,076,800 episodes (or, well, 14 episodes per permutation).

However, you can do much better, exploiting overlap, using only 93,884,313,611 episodes, which is really quite remarkable, because it is just 1.08 episodes per permutation.

Example with 3 (from the article):

3! = 6 permutations

Bad way to watch all: concatenate all permutations

A) 123 132 213 231 312 321 (= 3*6 = 18 episodes, or 3 episodes per permutation)

Good way to watch all permutations:

B) 123121321 (= 9 episodes, or 1.5 episodes per permutation)

Note that each of the permutations above in A is contained in the string at B).

> The only thing our world needs now is a reorientation away from growth at all costs into a mode of life that values the simple, the close by, the cheap.

What? Why?

I mean, yeah, "at all costs" is a little extreme, but the alternative isn't to only value the simple, close by, and cheap. I kind of like the fact that humanity strives for better and better things - it's what took us from the age of 50% of children dying by the age of 5, to barely any dying. It's what took us from the age of the majority living in poverty and hunger, to the majority living far better lives.

It's what will hopefully take us from all the problems we have now, to all the solutions to those problems that we can't even conceive of yet.

I may be misunderstanding you completely - but if I'm not, what's wrong with that?

But just think of hordes of Thanksgiving loving American schoolchildren that it will attract. Sorry, but that's the first thing that came to my mind.

But seriously, I do understand the need to be culturally sensitive and aware these days since people tend to forget that the internet is global. Is there some kind of database containing these kind of cross-culture transgressions? Somewhere you can go to either a) find out if your target market has any hangups about a certain colour, shape or words and b) submit it for peer review for the same purpose.

In Switzerland the system is actually pretty good - ambulances are private companies, it cost +-500$ to get transport to hospital.

Horrible cost on the first glance, but if you actually talk to doctors (my fiancee is one), you realize most of the system is under constant overload. If they have emergency call, it can be (and often is) something trivial, when taking a cab for 5% of the costs would be more appropriate. But you have tons of crazy people (not crazy enough to be in asylum, but enough to wreak havoc on everything and everybody around them) and hypochondriacs. Polytoxicomans that effectively can't be helped.

We're not talking about a drive by a specific vehicle, but locking of 2 highly trained professionals that can't be used for any other emergency, with vehicle full of life-saving equipment. Which can easily mean another ambulance has to come from afar if needed, which can be fatal/debilitating in number of cases.

So its not about US as much, its about making system effective, because resources (people, equipment, ambulances) are scarce and you need to prioritize, or people will die. These things can and should be improved, but until they are, doctors and everybody else need to work with what they have.

> 8. Should I think about how many children I have (or don’t have)? ...

> Nicholas’s study concluded that having fewer children is the best way to reduce your contribution to climate change, with almost 60 tonnes of CO2 avoided per year. But this result has been contentious – and it leads to other questions. ...

> And we could ask if having children is necessarily a bad thing for solving climate change: our challenges may mean we will need more problem-solvers in future generations, not fewer.

Way to make the quantitative answer on this question ambiguous when it is clear that unless your kids will work or donate much more than average to climate change, they will add to the problem.

Just be honest and admit that this possible solution (fewer kids!) conflicts with your ideology.

Which mean that 9% of whites, 27% of blacks and 19% of hispanics are barred from air travel, being a driver, buy beer, going to bars, participating in lottos or buying cigarettes. I would also guess it also mean barred from trains, sport and concerts (since now days those tend to use personalized tickets to avoid scalping), and visiting a political representative as those places tend to have heightened security.

That is a lot of barred experience. Sounds a bit like second-class citizenship.

This article's quality is higher than many others on the same topic and that's a pleasant surprise.

That being said, I can't help being reminded about German language lessons I had ~10 years ago where the teacher was preaching that we must all ditch electric kettles for the sake of the planet. I asked her how is this going to help -- even if 100_00 people do it today -- if corporations are happy to let toxic waste seep into the ocean and lobby to never close coal plants. And we're talking thousands of tons a day. She wasn't pleased that I attacked her agenda.

So alright, I know we all can do better, individuals included. That's unequivocally true.

But let's not ignore the fact that the biggest fault lies in organizations that are happy to pay people to whisper stuff in the ears of the people with power.

Climate change is real and the more we delay the solution, the more urgent and extreme the measures to swing it around will become. And that means to start breaking the warm and cozy positions that many corporations are in -- and enjoy the lack of supervision of.
This case is exceptional in that the problem and solution can both be explained in fairly elementary terms. Combinatorics is really the only field of mathematics with many such opportunities available.
