> Most people in the world are decent

This Rousseauian vantage point on the general nature of people is something that's debatable to me. I think that under specific conditions this rings truer (or more false depending on how you look at it) than in other conditions. This whole debate leads to an even deeper rabbit hole that entails things such as the necessity of religion(not to be conflated with fundamentalism / fanaticism). I am more of a Maistrean in my view of humans i.e. that people aren't good at first but under the right conditions, people can behave in a desirable manner that ensures chaos is staved off.

> Cato

I no longer believe Cato represents true conservative ideology and it is not necessarily the most authoritative source on matters conservative policy. It is weak on a lot of issues and infiltrated by people who don't necessarily embody its founding principles. When it was formed by the Kochs, they eventually broke away from another group who thought that they(Kochs/Cato) had sold out their mission for more mainstream appeal. This group was led by Murray Rothbard, and I guess I could say I left with them(Miseseans).

Just concluding the book, Sons of Wichita, and despite the Kochs being viewed as the embodiment of conservative/libertarian ideology in America, I don't think they take it far enough. They're weak on immigration. Very weak. They've built an amazing corporation that their father, Fred, would have been proud of (despite the family feuds) but he most certainly would have disapproved of their politics. He of course came up in the era of communism and saw it as the greatest threat that existed at the time.

Anyway, Tempestn, been a great discussion. I'd like to continue this later via mail as per your profile so I'll be reaching out. You've been great; typically these discussions tend to get out of hand with a lot of name calling but there was none of that here. Kudos for the survivalist initiatives you've undertaken - I don't even know what to say about that except I hope you never need to employ them. :)

I wonder if it's too easy to make one of these libraries. Don't get me wrong I'VE never tried to build one of these, I'm sure it's hard. But maybe it's not so hard that people won't just make their own that fit their needs better.

If this is true I would say it's a positive feature of python, but also a reason for fragmentation. You tend to see less fragmentation in earlier and lower level technologies. This is partially due to time, only good software or hardware lasts. But I also hypothesis it was because things are harder down there, you need bigger teams and more resources, which tends towards centralization.
I used to run Google Translate on news sites and hover over sentences to see the translations, but this UX is better.
As in "people moving to the city", it is. But in my area, the city density never reaches a level where anything except the car is really convenient. Sure you can take the bus. If you're back home at 11, willing make a 15 minute ride an hour's, and pay the same as for a cheap car.
I think that that will depend on the license and the courts. A NN can be seen as a storage system - these images are retrieved from the compressed and transformed data stored in the NN; a court might rule that that is essentially the same as any other storage system. Or not.

I would say it's not totally false. It was a bit hard to find comparable numbers, but it seems to me that Model 3 sales have outpaced Leaf sales recently as you note. However, it was true until quite recently that Nissan Leaf was the best selling, and it appears that it is the all time top selling EV model overall (Model S would appear to be number two). Tesla may have also taken the title of most cars overall, but that is spread across three models, and again is due to the recent boom in Model 3 sales which may or may not be sustainable. Now that the market is proven, it would be fairly easy for Nissan to introduce new models if they like, and other companies are actively introducing EV models (which are probably impacting Nissan as well as Tesla). It is not at all clear to me that Tesla is as dominant as you seem to imply. It is fairly clear to me that Nissan has so far done more in bringing EVs to the mainstream than Tesla has (not to minimise Tesla's very significant contribution).

With DiaMonTech (www.diamontech.com) we are also working on a non-invasive blood sugar monitor. Google lens was always a discussion with the interested parties (e.g. investors). Our take was that it is hard to detect the small concentration of glucose in tear fluids but even if you manage to do that, the real problem would be that there is always a delay (between 30 and 100 minutes) until changes in the blood sugar level are seen in tear fluid. So for people with fast changing blood sugar levels (i.e. diabetics) the needed information comes too late.

That sounds a LOT like sleep apnea. I'm not sure how your doctor could _possibly_ rule it out without a sleep study (it's pretty much impossible -- he would have to confirm any potential normalcy by watching you sleep and breathe).

I had signs of insomnia in the last couple of years. Tried all the usual techniques, and I realized those just do not work for one simple reason - that the moment i do not fall asleep, i become frustrated. And that frustration in turn makes sleeping much harder.

So, I tried doing the exact opposite, and my sleep has been tremendously better since.

Essentially, i force myself to keep my eyes open. When I catch myself falling asleep, I actually force myself to keep them often again. Before i know it, it is morning.

It sounds counter-intuitive, but all my insomnia problems are over, including on a plane. Would love to know if it works for others, or if it is just a silly thing that works for only me.

Partially and historically the US has had a lot of wood, the UK deforested early (we built a lot of ships and wooden structures) so we had to go to brick and slate quite early (also our climate is hell on wood without modern treatment).

Also the US climate is far more varied than the UK's so in some biomes wood makes sense.

The metric prefixes we know and love are a huge plus. If you convert from Volt to kV or to mV, you just need to move your comma. Ah see what I did there? I uses a metric prefix on a unit that is also used in the US.

The thing is 1V is also 1Nm or 1J or 1Ws. So suddenly we have the meter there right besides the Newton. In fact if you look beyond "I build my own shed in the US"-scenarios, you will find the meter everywhere intertwined in the definition of other units. In fact the definition of imperial length units is based on the metric definition of the length light travels through vacuum in 1/299792458s. So the foundation of the meter is light speed, which helps with all kind of practical issues in physics.

The metric system has maximum compatibility to all these unit systems (except the °C which is a more-practical-for-every-day-use offset version of Kelvin).

Unit systems are always something you grow up with and are therefore an emotional topic. People will take fractions of inches as an example of how metric fractions fail to deliver, when in fact no european woodworker has even remotly a problem with doing their thing in mm. In front of me lies a ruler with a 0.1mm scale and a caliper with 0.01mm or 1/128In accuracyIf I really wanna be ±0.01mm accurate on a cut of 1/3m or 333.33mm getting that accuracy would not be easier in inches. My saw blade is precisely 2mm wide anyways..

> If you need to do stringy things to the data later don’t advertise genericity. [...] People will start using your function and then you’ll have to make a new method because they own the contract now.

I agree that my point doesn't really apply to functions that are part of some kind of API.

Still, type inference is not duck typing: the former happens at compile time, unlike the latter.

> Is it that hard to figure out that your method is generic?

Well, it is not if you decide it to be generic from the start. What I was saying is that sometimes you start with "concrete" implementation, but the type inference helps you thinking about refactoring it to maximize reuse. Something like "hmmm, right now this method has signature 'a -> int -> 'b... I wonder if I can turn it into 'a -> ('b -> 'c) -> 'c and remove this other method that looks pretty similar..."
That is probably the catch. Tear glucose may not be all that well correlated with blood glucose.
Makes me even happier to have sold my car last week; I’d thought about it in terms of sending less money to the House of Saud to bomb Yemeni civilians, but I’m also putting less money in Putin’s hands, along with providing slight benefits for the environment and my waistline, and a large benefit for my bank account.

That's because it's a Thinkpad. The T-series had been the Red Hat company issue laptop for years, and has had boatloads of internal support as a result.

You're right in that a Thinkpad will mostly work out of the box long as you don't want that Nvidia GPU to work, but everyone else? Good luck. My XPS 15 was a lost cause, losing three quarters of it's battery life under Linux and with countless video problems.

And on a desktop? Hah! Roll the dice baby, and keep rolling them with every update, because sooner or later something's going to break. It always does.

Fair enough. But as a whole the people of the world move together in ever exanding lumps.

One (there are many pros and cons) slightly positive side effect is that efficency have to increase.
It’s unavoidable as humans in general seems to have a will to survive.

What seems to slow it down is mainly an unbridled capitalism, which is why for example China in a weird and somewhat unexpected fashion leads the way.

Neither AWS nor Azure have this kind of block. Nor does Digital Ocean or others. Neither are Google Products such as Gmail blocked.

It's ironic that it's fine for Google to provide it's products in those countries, but not for me, if I host my app on their cloud.

US sanctions do not require an infrastructure provider to do this, much like they do not require a broadband provider to filter packages destined to those countries.

The otherday, I realized that slugging a string is a projection ! It's a surjective map with a reduction of dimensions (aka I give you a slug and in nearly all cases you won't be able to find the original string), and is idempotent, that is, the slug of a slug is itself.

As is, this realization is completely useless since I don't really have any useful way to apply it, but it's a fun way of looking at slugs.

And while we're at it, we can also see that there is a reduction of dimension in the process of hashing but that it is not a projection since the hash of a hash generally isn't itself.

I'm almost sure about what I just said (I'm not a mathematician), but please correct me if I'm wrong !
Or we could not unilaterally force name changes on account of technical limitations and software implementation faults. Only a right cunt would do that.
As someone who does a lot of woodworking in a metric world:
the common fractions (e.g. 1/3) are not a problem at all, they are periodic. Adjusting my saw to 333.33mm or 6.66mm is something I do quite often.

If you use fractions often or work with weirder fractions anybody who is worth their grain of salt will build custom temporary rulers or helper systems anyways. And then it won't matter at all if your unit is hyperinches or fractions of lightspeed traveling through frozen beer in a second.

I can see how anybody who grew up with inches likes that one better, but in the end it is just numbers on a scale.
Probably because "paki" itself had been a derogatory abbreviation of "Pakistani"? [1] Yet another example of mindless word filter problems.

> Unfortunately, it is now fashionable for medium-sized businesses to be over-run with project management types that hold everyone nose to the "deliverables" grindstone and enforce performance measures that are hostile to anyone who needs to pick up new skills on job and anyone that deigns to mentor colleagues (god forbid, they slip on a trite deliverable because they were cultivating the next generation of grindstone-licker).

Wow, I'm so glad that I am part of a company culture that values mentorship and teaching younger employees. Since joining in August last year I have spent a large proportion of my time both mentoring and pair programming.

Our team of 8 developers is fairly junior with 3 graduating last year and one this year. It's been great to see last year's graduates grow to become very independently productive members of the team, and I like to think that they would not have grown as much without my support and trust.
Yeah I notice the little touches such as Bluetooth on/off toggling. On the Mac when I reboot it’s in the same state as I left it. On Ubuntu it resets to on unless I edit a text file.

Over all that may not be a big thing but it does illustrate one of the rough edges.

(macOS has its own warts too of course. Such as not having keyboard shortcuts for split view or weird little pop up windows you can’t close without a mouse.)

Yes this. It would make a huge difference for me at my level. I'm finding that I lose my focus on specific words. I can gather the general meaning from the sentence and/or paragraph but...

Humans are naturally bad at base 10. This is noticeable when learning counting and arithmetic - children often skip 7 and jumble 6, 7, 8. Base-10 is not so bad once one has learned it, though.

Time is a construct we have created to describe perception. If our brain is well nourished and operating at its peak, time feels slower (especially with caffeine or cannabis). Likewise, if we're tired and mental energy is spent, "time" moves faster because our perception circuits are not operating at peak efficiency.
The gobject system that underlies Vala is a language agnostic mechanism.

I don't get that one. It might be just that you are used to it.

A meter is a slightly longish step.

A decimeter is the width of a hand.

A centimeter is the width of a pinky finger.

A milimeter is twice the thickness of your fingernail.

It is actually no less or more intuitive than the imperial system (except when it comes to calculations, unit conversion and interfacing with other SI units like Volts, Joules, Watts etc.) I feel very comfortable working with digits like 12.5 or 33.33. I think a lot of the imperial-versus-metric-debate boils down to the question how big your love for fractions is and how things are measured around you. If everything is built with 2 by 4 wood, then a metric system is inconvinient. If your hardware store sells 4x8cm wood, then going to inches would be inconvinient.

I'd like to remind of a few priority items if you're in the US:

1. We desperately need to fix incentives for prosecutors. We as a people need to decide what we are trying to optimize for because I'm pretty sure we are not trying to optimize for a near 100% conviction rate. Prosecutors and attorney generals are humans and they react to incentives.

2. We must repeal the CFAA. While an appeals court has apparently ruled that a terms of services (TOS) violation is not a criminal offense, because we have not fixed 1 (above), this will continue to be a problem. As impossible it might seem to repeal, I think it is much easier than to do 1.

Some people might say that we need the CFAA in some form and that we just need to amend it. Say no to such calls for "moderation". You wouldn't pick the "middle road" between being alone and being dead. I want to be very much alive. The "middle way" of pleasing everyone doesn't always work.

Repeal the CFAA (and don't replace it with anything).
> It's funny how language shapes our thinking.

Yes. We need to change "I need some rest" for "I need some introspection". I agree that is a change from "lazy" or "not-doing-anything" towards "profound" and "self-improvement".
