Alcohol DESTROYS sleep. You wont like any of the studies that google comes up with, so do what I did. Buy an Oura ring, get your baseline sleep data, then have just two glasses of wine and see what happens. It's crazy what just a little alcohol does to the quality of your sleep.

Any increase in social behaviors are vastly outweighed by anti-social behavior.

I agree with you on stress reduction but that is a dangerous, dangerous game.
I suppose I don't think that copyright law is the right place to legislate morality.

> your stance is that the creator of some copyrightable work has no inherent right to control the use of that work? And you think that the only reason they should be allowed to control the use of their work is to incentivize creation of new works, not because they deserve a share of the value created by the use of their work (a song used in an advertisement, for example)?

No, in general I think that people have a right to a share of the value created by their work (copyrightable and otherwise). But in practice this is often not what happens, even with copyright. Your example of a song used in an ad: generally the advertiser would just purchase the rights to the song outright, and so the creator wouldn't necessarily really get anything like a 'share' of the value created by use of their work, but just a flat fee.
> Tesla may have its faults, but there’s no question that they’ve built and sold hundreds of thousands of cars.

Whoever said cars could not be created? That argument ignores the nuance of everything regarding manufacture quality and scale w/computer-vision driven robots, full self-driving, the autonomous taxi Tesla network, etc.
> You think you have it all figured out and you 'get it' now

I've spent over 7 years undertaking a variety of formal approaches to deep personal introspection, and I've never felt less like I can, or anyone can, "have it all figured out".

But one thing I've learned a thing or two about is the tendency to ascribe the greatest threats and wrongs to some easily-identified "other" without paying adequate attention to the failings and risks in our own group and within our own self.

For what it's worth I spend vast amounts of time thinking about what kinds of approaches to eradicating bigotry and oppression might actually be effective, and what role a humble individual as myself might be able to play in moving the needle over the long term.

To suggest that this is a matter I believe is "not going to hurt anyone" is about as wrong as you could possibly be.
> I am not dismissing them ...

I acknowledged as much. I mistakenly didn't see you as asking "how it is rational" but as asking "how could it be considered rational?". This is why I hadn't answered your question and instead chose to note that such events haven't been proven impossible.

> So ... how is it rational to believe that either of those Christian doctrines is true?

There is historical evidence for those events occurring, and there are hardly any counter claims that amount to more than just speculation.
My father passed away last year, and I have every single email ever written to him or from him. That's only thanks to being the "computer guy" in the family and a chaotic number of overlapping backups (in time). It's an invaluable treasure.

Nowadays, with Gmail and people collecting their data on their own, that's not an issue. But many of the old "non native digital" generation didn't preserve data at all.

This is a bad type of argument that has to stop. Water has literally nothing to do with how good alcohol is or isn't for you. If you insist on comparing the two, consider that if you stop drinking water you die in a couple of days. If you stop drinking alcohol you generally become healthier.

"X isn't bad because literally anything can be bad in some scenario! If you eat too many bean sprouts you'll choke and die, so it must be fine to eat arsenic, right??"

So when you first sign up, you should get an email (via AWS) with a link to verify your email. If you don't receive this, you can trigger the email again from the Email addresses section (in the apps navbar).

There's a quick start guide in the docs (https://docs.maildown.app) which guides you through the process of creating and sending your first email - probably worth a look.

Eventually I'd like to add an in-app tutorial which shows the buttons to click to get you started. As I've mentioned in another reply, I know the learning process is still not yet obvious

FWIW, I've been struggling with gallstone issues recently, and my doctor actually advised me to have a glass of wine a night.

Here are two recent studies on the topic.

[1] Alcohol consumption and risk of gallstone disease: a meta-analysis.

Wang J, et al. Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2017.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/27926662/

"A linear dose-response relationship was found between alcohol consumption and gallstone disease risk and the risk of gallstone disease decreased by 12% (RR=0.88, 95% CI: 0.84-0.92; Pnonlinearity=0.079) for each 10 g/day increment in alcohol consumption. This meta-analysis suggests that alcohol consumption is associated with significantly decreased risk of gallstone disease."

[2] Alcohol Consumption Can Reduce the Risk of Gallstone Disease: A Systematic Review with a Dose-Response Meta-Analysis of Case-Control and Cohort Studies.

Cha BH, et al. Gut Liver. 2019.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/30665280/?i=6&from=/27...

"In this systematic review with meta-analysis, alcohol consumption could decrease the risk of GSD, and the dose-response analysis revealed a dose-dependent linear risk reduction and a weakened linear trend between alcohol consumption levels less than and greater than 28 g/day."

Thanks for all the great comments!

It's true that I was just a step ahead of the students. However, I was using course materials designed by people who knew the material, I had veteran TA's (who could answer the questions), and I do have over 30 years of teaching experience. This was an advantage when teaching this class. I could figure out when the lecture slides weren't enough for me to understand, so I added more to them to make them understandable for the students. My expertise is in teaching: Figuring out how to make things learnable by students.

In the end, the Web programming part was only a portion of the course -- the rest of it was on design and development process, architecture, and issues like accessibility, all of which I am more familiar with. (For example, because I'm an old Smalltalk programmer, I can explain where MVC came from and strengths/weaknesses better than many.)

The course evaluations were very positive. I think the class worked.
What would be considered enough? I don’t know how I’d use 3TB a month. 2 TB is a lot too to me and everyone I know. I’m sure it’s not a lot to some people especially people on here. But I would guess for the vast majority of people, at least 95%, 1 TB is sufficient. And 2 TB is sufficient for 99%+ of people.

To me this is a story about how financial security impacts national security. It gets me wondering about the mortgage he couldn't pay. What were the terms? How out on a limb did he get with his finances?

I doubt this is a fresh argument but it makes me more inclined to see things like mortgage regulations as a national security issue.
Interesting, I just closed Reddit while complaining in my head about how poor the experience is:

- You can't seem to persist the "old reddit" design any more. It keeps switching you back to the new design

- It's just much slower to load content. The old site was fairly snappy

- Comment are CONSTANTLY failing to load in most of the threads I open

- The autoscroll is also regularly failing to load new items

- Using the mobile site, I'm nagged by numerous attempts to get me to install the native app

Loops in lisp would like a word with you. :)

The difference is that many languages have constructs that weren't value producing. It is why some have the ternary operator, but lisp just had if statements.

So, to that end, most loops do produce a value. And there are several common ways they do it. In many languages, you have to give the details of how they work. In some, you can only those details and the building if the output is a bit more declarative.
That's because once they're done looting, the elites can now just move to New Zealand or somewhere.

>I understand its utility as a social lubricant. My guess is that’s why it has persisted for thousands of years. But don’t you think alcohol is a societal net negative?

If it helps people party, mingle, and eventually create babies, it's a net positive for the survival of the species...

Also, some things can still be positive by fiat, even if the logistics (e.g. re health) are against them.

We're not on this planet just to live as long as we can. That's not a goal in itself. There might not be a goal in the end too -- e.g. it all might be meaningless.

In any case, if we're here to enjoy our stay, and alcohol (or e.g. taking risks) is part of that, then those things are good for us, even if it means we lose some years to them.

JioPhone, which runs on KaiOS has managed to bring WhatsApp to KaiOS[1].

That was the most requested feature on JioPhone 1, when it was released & people were ready to put more money into next cheapest android smartphone to have it. Now, WhatsApp is available on both JioPhone1 & JioPhone2.

Obviously it is packaged standalone version of WhatsApp web. WhatsApp team has been very successful in bring consistent performance of their apps on all platforms they support, so I assume it works well.

This ought to be super helpful for my toy rasterizer project written in Rust.

If anyone is interested, I'll post the link (it's crappy)

I suggest everyone to try implementing a rasterizer in a new language; it goes over a lot of language fundamentals and a lot of reasonably efficient memory manipulation (if you try to, at least) is required, which forces you to be intimate with the lang. Great Rust practice for me, at least.

Python is a much more concise language. There are no brackets/parenthesis to surround blocks, that's 10% to 20% less lines just for that. A truckload of data classes and static declarations don't need to exist in python because of its very dynamic nature. Last but not least, python idioms like list comprehension and single line if else can replace a whole code block from another language.

Expect a python program to be half or a third of the size of java/c#/go.

that we may only be able to discover mathematical properties does not itself justify saying that "Math isn't behind everything, and not everything can be explained with math."

I actually like your nihilistic rationalization here.

If one is overtly optimiziming for health and longevity, drinking is a bad idea.

If one is optimizing for enjoyment, drink.

And of course there is a middle ground. Although I would say that alchohol is specifically designed to remove the middle ground (drinking alchohol dehydrates you, so you drink more, etc).

Anyway, I appreciate your stance and find it to be the most honest pro-alchohol comment thus far.
