Then by all means, disagree. That's just my opinion man.

Any amount of law or regulation will have some amount of citizens who disagree with it. For me, I think that the average citizen should be able to trust the medical community, and I think that the best way to accomplish that is to require the medical community to meet safety standards, and to support their claims of effectiveness with science. And I think that the less regulated parts of the health industry (supplements and fitness) have proven that many businesses will not back their claims with science if not required by law to do so. And that uneducated americans aren't able to see through that sort of nonsense and will purchase from those businesses anyways. This isn't a big deal with something relatively harmless like supplements, but when it comes to medical treatment you could potentially cause a lot of harm.
Although, to play devil's advocate, you can prove results with set theory that you'd care about even if you weren't super interested in foundations, usually by playing with different cardinalities. E.g.:

Call a real number "algebraic" if it's a zero to some polynomial with rational coefficients. (e.g. \sqrt{2} is algebraic since it's a zero for x^2 - 2). Claim: There exist non-algebraic ("transcendental") numbers. Proof: There are only countably many polynomials, and so there are only countably many algebraic numbers, but there are uncountably many reals. Similarly, there are numbers that aren't Turning-computable. Etc.

Sure it's addictive, like most habits that provide a dopamine hit. More people struggle with disconnecting from social media addiction, the desire to keep finding an interesting image or comment is way worse of addiction. Also sugar and simple carbs, try and give that up for 2 weeks and notice the strong withdrawal symptoms.

In my country, you can. I expect most developed western countries are the same. They won't let people starve to death. There's always a safety net of free food and housing no matter how destitute you are. I guess that's what a welfare queen is. But you could also call it enjoying the utopia of a world where productivity is much greater than what's needed to sustain our lives. Whether you're forced into that by being unemployable or by choice, a hobby could be much more satisfying than watching TV all day.
It's not just nostalgia.

Nintendo keeps providing excellent gaming experience that no one else does. Super Mario Odyssey is awesome not because it's the same old Mario guy from NES, but because it is just a great game.

Nintendo games are not polluted by the games-as-service and free-to-play monetization mindsets as badly as other platforms.

I don't like a lot of their rigidity, such as takedowns or still not getting rid of having stuff segregated by regions, but I appreciate what they contribute to the world of video games.
It has multiple backends. It can produce optimized JS, readable JS, typescript, and that can be used for progressive webapps.
It also has a Java backend for server-side use and command line programs (such as the self-hosted compiler).
It has a native bytecode, which is used for Android and iOS native apps. There is a 64-bit JIT for x64 for Linux, Mac, Windows for this bytecode as well.
There is also a C++ backend, which can also be used for Android, iOS and desktop OSes.
There is also a C# backend for Windows Phone, but since that platform is dead, it has bitrotted. Should not be too hard to resurrect if someone needs it.
The language is relatively small, so easy to add a new backend. The biggest task is to port the runtime.
Ban on banana-eating artwork in Poland
I installed a “sleeping loft” in our 375SF studio apartment to make a bit more room for my wife and son. 11ft ceilings make a big difference there.

I’ve also been looking into getting a 1bd and installing false walls to make it a 2 bedroom.
But you see it was your own blindness that caused you not to realize what the hand was holding, though your subconscious expressed it. Of course you can't see this!

Yes I am being sarcastic but I actually heard this kind of comment about my then wife's work.
I mean, it's Unix, so you could say it was designed for multiple users on one machine?

I’ve always had a similar feeling.

In classes where I knew the subject well, I generally did well on the tests. In classes where I had gaps in my understanding, I usually did poorly. In classes where the grades were posted publicly, my general subjective judgment of how well people knew the material matched up with their scores. Not perfectly, obviously, but the correlation has been high enough that I’ve never really been convinced that testing in general is “missing” some critical element of learning.
We want to enhance the web site to have some runnable demos, but did not around to it yet.

Github may keep edit history, but it seems like maintainers have the ability to remove previous edits of comments entirely, as is the case in the linked PR (perhaps it's limited to Enterprise?)

I don't like this. A maintainer can fake another users' comments for some very nefarious purposes.
They also de-list older versions of popular packages like PHP 7.0. A package manager should never de-list. There are many valid reasons why someone might want to install an old version of a package.

As a user I'm not a big fan of the order of their CLI switches. For example to restart PHP-FPM:

brew services restart php@7.1

In Ubuntu the same thing is

sudo service php7.0-fpm restart

Should restarting a service require sudo? I think it should.

Should the service name be first and then the operation? I think it should as well.

Good luck convincing brew maintainers of this. It's like talking to a brick wall.
Inkstone editor of the piece here. I just wanted to add that his essay touched on much more than just China's removal of presidential term limits. He also called for the abolition of special privileges for Communist Party officials, disclosure of Chinese leader's assets and a repudiation of the official verdict on the 1989 Tiananmen protests (the Communist Party considered it "counter-revolutionary" in legitimizing its military crackdown.) Writing about each one of these is enough to land you in trouble.

You don't understand the business. You think WeWork is for individuals like you. It's not. It's for enterprises.

In any case, I addressed their staggering competitive advantage in my original post. They can build space in one-half the time at 60% of the cost because they have a 2,000 person multidisciplinary product team made up of architects, engineers, interior designers, developers, and contractors. They've integrated the value chain like Amazon has in online retail.

They're disrupting the industrial complex of lawyers, lenders, brokers, and landlords who surround the Kafkaesque, traditional, 10-year office lease.

WeWork is not even close to overexpanding. Coworking is less than 2% of the 10 billion square foot US office market. It's going to 30% or beyond. They haven't even hit the vertical part of the S-curve.

Remember, coworking may have started with individuals like you, but now the much larger source of demand is enterprise. With actual companies WeWork and coworking are substitutes to a painful, limited-service, long-term lease.
Hey, almost as much as any one of the 100,000 employees! I am sure the process of self-eating is nearly complete!
> Boston to New York is 215mi or a 430 mile round trip.

Assuming terrestrial lines travel as the crow flies, which is not all that likely (but probably not too far off).

> At 200 miles up where they intend to put the satellites orbiting over major cities, it's going to be about 1000 mile round trip.

Other people here are noting that fiber signals travel at ~70% the speed of light, while radio waves travel at very close to the speed of light. If that's true, it puts the optimal time for land based optical communication at ~3.3ms[1] ms, while the optimal time for a low orbit satellite at ~5.4ms[2] (if I didn't screw up the math). That's slower, but not by a whole lot, so it might even be better than you're predicting.

Also, are people actually getting sub 4ms round trip times between Boston and New York? If not, then the difference here might be entirely subsumed by other factors.

1: 430 Miles / 186,000 M/s / 0.70 = 0.0033 s

2: 1000 Miles / 186,000 Miles/s = 0.0054 s

Hi, I wrote this article. I also switched from Homebrew with pretty much the same opinion as you: a lot of projects have seemed to switched to "Homebrew-only" as it's more popular (and better advertised) than MacPorts is, which I think is a shame. Regarding ease of use, though, it's not actually that bad: while the website is a bit dated, you can basically just click the "Download" button and then the link for your operating system and run the installer. And as for reasons why MacPorts is better: that's basically what my article was about ;)
Agreed. Less cult, more prestige brag.
I agree.

I wonder if this is a situation where flagging the submission helps attract the attention of the mods, so they can consider changing the link?

Yeah, and they'll care enough to actually find out what the latency is rather than reflexively shooting things down. And don't forget word of mouth. All it takes is one prominent streamer that you follow, or anyone in your friend group, saying good things about it -- and now it's on the table for you.

That's a problem of recycling, not of using the local landfills.

Though not being accepted by China is kind of funny because they tightened their standard for contamination so if western households actually put the effort in to correctly cleaning and sorting their recycling, the contamination would be low enough that it can still be sent. I've heard there's a problem caused by people being too keen on recycling and putting greasy pizza boxes and plastic toys in because they don't realize it's not recyclable. I'm not sure why the collectors don't enforce strict rules and stop collecting from violators.

I don't worship him. I do admire his determination and abilities and wish there were more people with them who also had the means to actually get stuff to happen.

Hmm... actually... the fact that people like Musk are so rare is discouraging. There are quite a few people with say $100M+ net worth and it seems like most of them don't do much. If wealth were a true meritocracy I feel like Elon would not be remarkable.
As I understand it, the reason you'd want to communicate that a radioactive waste dump is harmful is because of the very slow feedback loop that it causes. It would take people a long time, and many deaths/mutations to figure out that such an area is harmful; the signal has a very long wavelength, and could easily get lost in noise. It's easy to attribute that harm to other things, much like how many cultures didn't know about lead poisoning, even though it was happening all around them. I think a simple solution would be to dramatically increase the feedback loop, by putting nerve gas or landmines or other fast acting dangers in the area. It would very quickly be understood to be a "cursed" and dangerous place, and after very few deaths, people wouldn't go there anymore.

Comcast being slow hasn't been a problem for the majority, Comcast being expensive may have been.
Nope, Starlink would be crushed by tens of millions of customers (mostly concentrated in major metro areas) in the US and those customers would switch right back to cable. The capacity isn't there.
FWIW, I think the best "applications" (if they can be called that) come from domains like algebraic topology and algebraic geometry, where some concepts come up so frequently that it's useful to formalize them in category theory. The homology proof of Brouwer's fixed point theorem [1] is one good example. Things like Eilenberg-Maclane spaces are another (really is most natural to think of them the thing that represents some functor).

I wouldn't say that you can't do this stuff without category theory, but it does make it easier / clearer. (Similarly, you can do a lot of geometry without coordinates, but coordinates definitely make some stuff easier / clearer.)

yeah I've actually had a sudden change of heart - implementing a p2p/decentralized theme is quite a bit more work than I anticipated, mainly syncing problems. originally planned on releasing 3 weeks ago....this p2p is taking up almost all of my time and I'm not sure if ppl even give a shit about it....so much for my ideological mania

I'm going to put that p2p stuff on hold and focus on getting a REPL terminal app that you can start running WSL on this week.
At some point Verizon and AT&T will get the service requirements relaxed so that 5g counts as servicing a home. At that point they’ll run through and service all of the old rural installations. Hopefully the rural power companies do the same with the fiber they run inside their steel lines. There’s my guess anyway.
Wow. 375SF is tiny for a family. Even with a sleeping loft.
An existing offering does 60ms average, meaning its best case is better. Starlink would offer 25ms best-case scenario.
I thought so too at first, but it's not! It's maintained relatively actively (https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commits/master), so I think this perspective is mostly just a result of Homebrew having better marketing/more people using it.
Same in Singapore tbh
Radio waves are faster than light going through a fiber optic cable, and the satellite mesh network will have fewer hops (switching packets on fiber is expensive time-wise).

The difference in latency won't be nearly as bad as a naive comparison of these two numbers would suggest. Depending on what hops your terrestrial traffic is going through, the satellite transmission could well be faster. To give you a trivial example, I'm seeing 11 ms ping right now to a server within my own city, that's only a couple miles away. This is ~0% signal transmission delay and ~100% switching delay.
If that's correct, then our systems are built on false assumptions. SSDs should not see an ECC error and write the data to a new block; that error should kill your program. TCP should not detect packet loss and retransmit, it should kill your program?

My point is, a lot of good error handling is built at the lowest level, close to the point of failure. That code knows what the problems are and how to fix them. Errors are not the exception, they are the rule. If you handle it well, people won't even know how unreliable the underlying system is. (NAND flash? The first time I used raw NAND flash I was blown away at how unreliable it was. How do computers even work at all like this, I thought. Then I realized... that's why so much money is poured into things like SSD controllers. To hide that fact from the user and make them happy, even if the raw technology it's built from doesn't offer perfect reliability.)
perhaps I'm even more jaded, but I assumed that was the point of all assessment material and procedures.

of course, this didn't really help me when I was younger, because its taken me almost 30 years to realise practically no one really cared whether assessment was valid or not, just about marks.
The implications of 5G are huge, and it will definitely be a huge step forward in daily technological use. Frankly, I'm excited. 100x faster than 4g? That's insane.
Not including JavaScript state, I assume, since that isn't exposed by the extensions API to my knowledge.

If that's true, it's still kind of cool, but I think the title is reaching a bit, depending on whether you consider JavaScript state part of the page state (and there's certainly pages where I think that's true).
I'm on a small island in the Pacific. If I can get 100 Mbps, by any means, whatever the latency, it will competitive. Right now I pay for 25, the two ISPs on island swear they're building out to 50, and I average 15 down and 1.3 up. my latency sits around 250-300 ms to North America and 150-250 to Asia.
I’ve read the paper that started this idea of Starlink being a low latency alternative for hft (http://nrg.cs.ucl.ac.uk/mjh/starlink-draft.pdf) There are a couple of problems with the paper. The first is that they establish a range of acceptable latency as existing between the great circle route and the fastest ping time on the internet between two points. For example they found that NY to London was 75ms round trip on the internet. However the long time standard bearer for a pure fiber path had been 64ms until the latest gen cables arrived in 2016. At that point the latency was sub 60 ... very comparable to the 55ms great circle route. But it’s important to understand that the starlink point to point route will be constantly changing — so only in one or two instances will that latency even come close to the existing terrestrial routes. More often than not the latency would trend closer to the 70ms range - well beyond anything considered competitive either in the current generation of routes much less the prior generation. It’s as if the authors simply had no idea about the hft market and what latencies might be needed (all of which has been published publicly). But there’s another problem with the study. For the solution to work, spacex would need to dedicate one of its laser links to enable communications across other satellites and dedicate that capacity to this application. And further, the study did not address the issue of optronic delays within the satellites. Most microwave manufacturers care little about hft latency tolerances and intermachine delays can be 1-2ms per hop. Assuming starlink to not to be much different (although I don’t know this to be true or not) that would definitely add even more latency to the equation. So all in all while it’s interesting and will do amazing things for consumers and enterprises, I don’t see starlink being a competitive hft solution unless the route in questions is really long and a lot of other engineering stuff can be made to work to enable it. Call me a skeptic but I don’t think we will see it.
> the treaty violates the U.S. Constitution

I am not a constitutional law expert, but I believe that under article 6 section 2 (the supremacy clause) treaties are held to be equal to the constitution. Thus, there is a very high bar for a treaty to by nullified based on contradicting the constitution. There is very little case law on this, and I believe the only instance in which an international executive agreement (not a treaty) was thrown out by the Supreme Court was Reid vs Covert. In that case, it was throw out on the grounds that it violated 5th and 6th amendment protections of Americans in foreign countries.

Story of my life. I’ve lived in SF for almost 9 years, my wife for 15 years, and we have a toddler, 90 lb dog, and a baby on the way, making it work in 650sf apt on combined $120k. I’m immensely grateful that the only reason we have savings at all is because my wife bought a below market rate condo with the city when she was single making $40k a year.

It feels weird to make this much but feel so poor. That any hiccup in life could make you miss bills. It’s been fine so far but as our family grows there will be no choice but to leave. Childcare is just too expensive.

I love this city, but over time I’ve felt I’ve gotten less out of it in exchange for more.
