Sativa strains are stimulating. Indica is the sedating strain. Indica is usually the type we think of as it grows short and quick, thus common in an age of illegality. Sativa grows about 20 ft tall and yields less. There’s a bunch of other reasons for the dominance of Indica, hybrids, etc but weed doesn’t have to be “sedating”
I want libertarians and anarchists to read this kind of stuff and start to consider that maybe cities are organizations that compete and cooperate, just like companies and unions.

Disneyworld is a city owned by a corporation, next door is a democratically run city. The Disney corporation has a sort of democracy of sharholders too, which elects a board etc.

Businesses renting space in DisneyWorld are not much different than businesses setting up a taxable nexus in a city or state. In both cases, force is used by the “landlord” to extract rents/taxes and if you don’t like it, you can go somewhere else. It is a “free market” of cities and states.

The exception is states where you are not allowed to leave. That is indeed a major difference.

But overall, libertarians and anarchists often single out “THE STATE” or “THE GOVERNMENT” for special thrashing, when governments are simply management teams of organizations, and the difference is mostly of scale. If anything, a democratically run city is more benign than a city which is run top-down.

Hello thanks for reading.
I have to admit that I'm quite confused about this comment. Are you saying simply running a command under its own uid is enough to provide the same isolation that containers do, and that the latter were only created because people are not running Linux natively?
Absolutely. I’ve written many bugs in Rust. But on the whole, my first attempts have less bugs overall. YMMV, of course.
Well, in his defense, type theory is supposed to make software engineering simpler, not more difficult. So if even he doesn't understand it, then how can we expect a random programmer to?

If you change Rust to ML, the phrase would be way more natural.
You should also consider learning R. Anything you can do in Pandas can be done, with less difficulty or fuss, in R. Plus, the plotting is much, much better.
Vanishingly few people are in the top percentiles in all those metrics, and you still haven’t accounted for personality, interesting hobbies, similar interests and cultural backgrounds, etc.

I was no where near the top percentage in any of those metrics except for being 6 feet tall and I had no problem at all hooking up on okcupid when I was still using it. Personality accounts for a lot and I think a lot of people who bomb out on those apps want to focus on superficial attributes because they don’t want to work on hard personality issues that are really causing their issues.

I was a late bloomer who lost my virginity in my early 20s and it took a lot of work to realize that the only thing preventing me from dating was my own toxic personality. Once I started doing fun things and being a fun person to be around, dating started happening naturally.
This has been studied and male height, shape and income generally rate favorably. I’m sure that for any particular man there is a woman who is attracted to him, but discoverability is an issue to to their positions on the bell curve.

And if you read the article you will see that men and women aren’t pairing one-to-one as much as they used to.

It’s also not absurd or probably false to suggest there are people who get left out of dating when it’s obvious to most people anecdotally, in addition to statistics from dating sites and studies. I see from your other comment that you are someone who worked hard to overcome dating issues, and that’s awesome and I agree the direction unsuccessful people should take, but the fact that some need to work on themselves more and later in life than others should tip you off to the distribution laws in effect here.

Here’s an example of a study that’s been done: http://psycnet.apa.org/buy/1996-14246-001

> All the articles I've read say people are having less sex.

All the articles I've read say that married people have the most sex. They also say that a smaller proportion of the population is married these days.

Any study that doesn't explicitly account for the above is not going to tell you nearly as much as the headline would lead you to believe.
Not when compared to mature software it isn't, no. The comparison isn't to "Javascript" as an implementation language for a transcompiler, it's to "Babel" as an actual transcompiler in wildly active use to generate production code everywhere in the world.
Same here, like the Colt Peacemaker or something.
Creator here: I’ve found that deactivating all non admin users in a workspace (effectively “deactivating the slack”) during the holidays is a good way to give everyone a break, especially in noisy public slacks. Unfortunately, slack does not provide a “deactivate user” endpoint in their API (at least for free slacks), and manually deactivating all the users is a pain, so I had to go the “paste in browser console” route. Writing this function was also a good way to grok async / await, as the git history will show. I might add some sort of reactivation function ... after the holidays. :)
You may want to introduce a fourth individual in your example, so it's not limited to species (mostly amphibians and fish) that are able to morph sex or hermaphroditic species (some molluscs, snails, etc.). Otherwise, the example is trivially true for all mammalian species that I'm aware of; for humans, if Arthur and Betty can easily breed fertile offspring, and Betty and Clive can easily breed fertile offspring... then Arthur and Clive are going to have a very low breeding success rate without technological assistance.
for me these kinds of tools are only as good as the time spent debugging when something goes awry. as such, the biggest risk i see is that it isn't built in javascript. i simply don't see myself debugging rust while trying to compile javascript. i really don't.

this being said, i do wish this project (and any others like it) great success. we definitely do need something faster when compiling js.

(this tool reminds me of a similar project for a small client. they required a fast js compiler. the project was a failure because no-one wanted to debug non-js code when the build failed)
> Second, and more importantly, the system of proof itself is falsifiable. If a theorem says that an equation p(x,y,z) = 0 has no solutions, and a proof without mistakes is found, then it better have no solutions. If somebody comes along and demonstrates that x=43,y=23,z=809 is a solution, then the system is in trouble. This ensures that math is not a formal game of arbitrary axioms that is internally consistent but ultimately meaningless.

I don't see how what you've said is anything other than the criterion of formal consistency - that a thing and its negation are not both provable. And a system may certainly be consistent, yet not particularly useful.

It should be noted that mathematics has not always been as rigorous as people assume.
Attempts to ground math in formal logic didn't really get off the ground until the late 1800s. And this isn't a trivial point; the "rules of the game" were up for debate, and often debated, before then (and, to a lesser extent, since). People disagreed about which numbers exist; people disagree about which proof methods are acceptable; and for example, calculus - a highly practical branch of mathematics - was invented before its formal justifications were found.
Thank you for doing this! Can't wait to check it out.
> It's really easy to pick up caricatures of life in foreign countries.

I'm a German who's lived abroad for the majority of his life. This statement is so true. I've heard of Africans asking if Hitler was still in power, Americans thinking Germans all lived in castles, and Germans wondering whether we had electricity in Zambia. If you've never lived there, how can you know?

I have dozens of American friends and frequently read American publications. I daresay I have some understanding of US culture from this exposure - but even so I still don't know what it's like to actually live in the United States.
Are you sure you get it?
> I think you can understand why cigarettes have a more general warning rather than lists some measurement of all the know carcinogens which isn’t going to mean anything to your average consumer.

Prop 65 isn't about cigarette labeling. This labels anything in California that contains any amount of any known carcinogen. When I walk into a local shopping center, there is a sign saying that the place contains known carcinogens. This label is applied all over places and products across the state, regardless of whether there's a real danger. These labels are bad. They could be improved, but they're currently bad.

> That’s different than earlier positions of mandatory labels are authoritarian.

That is not and has never been my position. My position is that labels which have the effect of misinforming people are bad. I don't care who requires them. I am in favor of mandatory labels that have a net positive effect.

> Not sure how you can even say gmo labeling misleads consumers, since there are no studies on that and it’s never been done.

That's a fair point. We should have studies before mandating these labels so we can know whether they tend to mislead people.

> All I know about it is consumers want it and lobbiests are blocking it on behalf of the gmo industry.

You could say the same thing about labels on textbooks saying evolution is just a theory. There are lobbyists on both sides of this argument, and there are consumers that don't want it. Popular things are not always right, and lobbyists are not always wrong.
Or Onyx Boox Max 2.
That comes across completely differently than what you originally claimed. They're just messaging people that are more desirable, likely hoping they luck out. Not matching with those people.
The Babel team is great.... and they're also tiny, overworked, and underfunded. (See some of Henry Zhu's recent conference talks on dealing with being an OSS maintainer for background.)

I think Babel 7 had some perf improvements (including tweaks contributed by Benedikt Meurer from the v8 team), but I don't think they've ever had time to focus on just improving perf.

Ask HN: Did you learn any life changing lessons this year?
This year I learned a hard lesson in personal life and realized that playing a "Providing Hero" is a poor life choice. It just makes you open to exploitation especially by close family where your guards are down.

This kind of response really grinds my gears about these discussions of philosophy (more often than not related to metaphysics). You're referencing the mostly unobjectionable features of the field to defend the objectionable features, when there is very little similarity between the two. You can't defend ontology language games by appealing to the truth of logic or mathematics, as they share nothing of relevance in common. If you want to give an actual defense of the things people find objectionable about metaphysics, you have to defend the features being attacked, not tangentially related things that happen to be categorized under the same broad label.

>Logic is metaphysics:

Maybe this is true, but doing logic isn't doing metaphysics. One does not need to take a stance on the metaphysics of logic to study and create formal systems.

>The working programmer is an ontologist and a taxonomist, but this fact isn't well-understood.

Not in any substantive sense. There is a surface-level connection between what a programmer does and a metaphysician does, but this is the extent of the connection. The ontologies studied in metaphysics attempt to make true substantive statements about what exists in the actual world. The programmer is merely stipulating the basic objects and relationships in a fully contingent domain of inquiry. The programmer is doing metaphysics only if you remove anything of substance from what we take the metaphysician to be doing.
Not this one it doesn't drag at all
So, one can not criticize the dating experience, and recognize that it is biased in favor of women, without being slandered as an incel?

Why do you think more men are turning to such extremism? You think they are perpetually frustrated and bitter by choice?

Remember when we used to call these men "geeks" and "nerds"? Why won't anyone acknowledge the validity of their involuntary suffering? These men are marginalized and exist on the outskirts of society for reasons beyond their choosing.

Attractiveness is a continuum, and there's only so much one can do to raise ones percieved value to meet the standards of others. It isn't a secret that apps like tinder tend to make women even more selective.
>I don't know if they are true,

If anything I think they are having way more casual sex, helped and fuelled by these dating apps.
I try to see the positive side of the swiss cheese that is comp-security. You can not secure anything completely with given software and hardware. But neither can any totalitarian state. No clamp down can be ever complete, without discarding all hardware and software of olden times.

Thanks a lot, you are right, probably it's above his level now :). But when he will be more advanced this book covers his needs I think.
Nothing about spectral transforms requires complicated software, beyond the need to optimize the algorithms. Sure, the inner components need specialists. No complaint there. But it's not like your stuff is "complicated". I guess the counter argument is something like Goto BLAS, where the author has an extremely complex internal mental model of Intel instruction scheduling and can emit incomprehensible, but absurdly fast instruction sequences. But of course, the BLAS API is dead simple and almost nobody using it needs to know the underlying solver complexity in detail.
And here we get into perverse incentives in scientific research distorting what you see. Public health agencies generally care more if there is a threat to public health. So if you are a researcher looking for grant $$$ over the long term, repeatedly not finding a link between WiFi and health makes you uninteresting to funding agencies. Note that I’m not suggesting nefarious intent, it’s more bias than anything else.

For purely scientific pursuits the “other camp” on any given issue often has a voice. Unfortunately in this situation, the other camp is largely made up of industry folks. They are happy to fund your research that finds no link as many times as you want. The cost to you as a researcher is being labeled an industry shill. The problem here is sometimes people are industry shills. So separating the good from the bad is nontrivial. This problem is pervasive in scientific research and solutions are non-obvious. Never forget that humans are biased creatures and scientists are not magical. They carry all the same baggage the rest of us do. Many are self aware enough to know it. But doing something about it is quite hard.

> I would not be surprised if he's a psychopath.

When I first heard of him, his behavior and how people described him that was my first thought. It ticks all the boxes:

- „nicest guy I know“, knows intuitively what people want to hear

- is extremely good at fooling others, and can uphold a fake story for a long time

- does it for narcissistic reasons, and to enrich himself with no deeper goal in life

- adept at building alliances with people in power (the guy who got him was afraid he would be fired)
Django is great for "batteries-included" development.

It has a lot of extra stuff included in the framework that you might not need for a smaller app, but if you don't care about that extra overhead (or you need to use it) then Django is a great choice.

It also has a fantastic ecosystem of "apps" (what Django calls plugins or packages) that you can drop into your project which can save a substantial amount of time; which makes it great for consulting work.
Sounds like a pack of coywolves in the making.
I think it's mostly this mindset that keeps that being true. As soon as some of your friends defect from FB, it becomes much easier to defect yourself. Or, you could be the first person, and make it a bit more viable for your other friends to stop.

At this point, most of my friends don't really use Facebook much, we mostly stick to messaging apps and email. Maybe start by making a chat group in Telegram and telling people about it?
That's definitely not proof; there's other explanations.

E.g., maybe women take longer to lower their standards, so while eventually they become less picky, as a whole women might have higher standards.

Maybe the extent to which we're at below 100% "matched" is due to higher standards by one side.

The issue here is the distinction between art that depicts nudity (with or without eroticism) and pornography. This is the sort of thing that has been discussed at great length by the Supreme Court, and I doubt if we’re going to make any headway debating it here. I would suggest referring to historical legal discussions.
As far as I know, no.

(There are some examples of molecules families. You have many variants of it encoded in the DNA, and each is optimized for a different task. IIRC the idea is that some molecule is used for two similar thing, then after a lot of generations by a random chance you get two copies of the code in the DNA, then after a lot of generations each copy is used for one task, then after a lot of generations each copy evolves to be optimized for it's task. See the variants in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoglobin#Types_in_humans and also the distant variant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myoglobin )
If you can use test262's test suite you should be good, it looks like they are referring to Babel's tests for some of the features? example https://github.com/swc-project/swc/pull/86, I just checked really quick though.

In terms of perf, I'm sure rust will be much faster than JS. And this project's main goal is to be a faster version than Babel. I would suggest the perf test would be different though because it's testing code I would consider not to be representative of what Babel actually runs on. Example with the transform test: https://github.com/swc-project/swc/blob/222bdc191fcab7714319... it's a very small file with minimal transforms even necessary at all. And the parser test is for all minified js files, none of which are written in ES6+ https://github.com/swc-project/swc/blob/master/ecmascript/pa.... Currently it's not really testing ES6+, just how at a baseline it's much faster to process a ES5 file, so it's possible that it might be even faster.

edit: I will note that Babel does a lot more than what this project is doing currently (plugins, other proposals, ts/flow, sourcemaps, etc) but this is more about what could be so if people are willing to more on this effort in the long run (with funding/support/people) it could be super useful! I'm curious about how that will work when our project has such a struggle with contributors and Babel itself is written in JS. (I work on Babel :D)
Can you suggest a test for the hypothesis that dating apps are driving changes? What percentage of marriage do you expect at age 30, and how do you account for the negative economic circumstances following the crisis of 2008, which must have pushed the marriage rate down somewhat for those who are currently 30?

I think we all understand that social systems are multi-variate and so it is difficult to assert absolutes. But you must have in mind some statistics that you expect to see in the evidence, and if you don't see them you'll agree that the theory is probably disproven?

I've previously emphasized economics over dating apps. Following the theory that males wages, relative to rent/mortgage, have a big impact on the formation of heterosexual couples, please see what I wrote in "Do men become warlike if they do not have women?"

One of the most common problems in ISP customer support is customers changing their default WiFi password (good) but forgetting it (bad). Then their laptop crashes and they need their replacement laptop to connect to the WiFi.

This is also the moment a customer will straight up deny the existence of ethernet cables or claim to have never heard of any Internet-related device that does not use WiFi.

To satisfy these customers, you need to be able to either read out the WiFi password or have some way to push a new one. As it's just plain easier to just allow full-on access to the modem GUI for their customer service agents, it's often possible to read any passwords or settings from the help desk.
