I would speculate that both will be true. The compile could disambiguate, but it will not be allowed.
Stop Caring What Other People Think
We generated a lot more interest than we anticipated. The first meetup was just 8, and we only had 3 sets (3 teams of 3). But then word spread (robots, computers, LEGOs, cool!) and a lot more started to arrive. It was a new experience for all of us. We are a Title 1 school and didn't want to turn anyone away. Eventually, we settled into a steady group of 12-13 kids, 60:40 boys to girls and 5 teams.

What really sealed our fate was 1 of the teachers transferred, and none of the PTA parents responded to our requests for a volunteer (money, no problem, time, hah!). We felt we couldn't give the kids what they needed and folded it before the new school year.

I'm so envious of other school's First programs. I see photos of the ingenuity of the kids and parent volunteers in the background and just wish we had even a little of that.

> Nope, you just have reached the point that others haven't yet.

That might be true. But I'm under the impression that:

- Flying is often said to be the biggest individual climate-harming action by individuals.

- Most people, even in the West, are kind of poor and haven't flown anywhere in the last decade.

- Most people, even in the West, don't have "investments" unless you count a measly pension they don't have much control over anyway.

- The mobile phone market is struggling because people aren't upgrading as consistently as they used to, older handsets are good enough, and newer ones aren't special enough. People have enough spares now that they pass old ones on to their poorer friends.

If that impression is accurate, perhaps others are generally closer to the emissions levels reached by the GP commenter.

Some other areas for improvement may be car use, home energy and food, as these are all things which can be significantly improved. I imagine most people (in the West) still drive a lot, have woefully inefficient homes, and buy food based on price and appeal rather than climate impact.

Sometimes there are browser bugs that are impossible to do feature detection for, in which case have no better option than looking at the user agent.

For instance, several versions of Firefox had a serious bug in shared workers, which appeared intermittently when users opened your site in multiple tabs https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51092596/feature-detecti... - I had to use the user agent to work around this.

I've been using this for the last 3 weeks and it works really well. It has blocked 21 spam calls up to now. After the free week they charge $30 yearly or $4 monthly.

You can set the spam calls to be answered with selected funny time-wasting recordings, but since that would be embarrassing if I get a call from a professional contact, I set them to be answered with a plain fax tone.

Now I am back to being able to pick up all calls that ring.

> The current forms of government

It's not the form of government, it's not the form of society, it's a psychological vulnerability that has been exacerbated by the invention of agriculture, currency, paper money, and now digital money. It's about accumulation of goods as a hedge against future insecurity, when the irony is that the pursuit of the accumulation of goods and earthly wealth is exactly the thing that has given rise to constant change, from which insecurity arises. It's literally because we cannot collectively chill the fuck out. There's a game theoretic problem in that defectors from the "chill" have a leg up on the chillers and get more money, wealth, goods, social cred, sexual mates, etc. The more humans there are, the worse it all gets.

Funny you should say that! I'm currently starting a concept I'm tentatively call "Open-Services". The main points are:

- Strong community governance

- Everything done needs to be in favor of the users

- Funding should be by the community

- Metrics, finances and management has to be transparent and done in the open

- Obviously, 100% of the code has to be under a open source license as well

Basically, a Open Service is a public utility for the internet.

My first service I'm creating like this is https://open-registry.dev which replaces the npm inc registry with a community owned one.
> Does a flower stop being pretty just because you don't expect or desire it to be pretty?

Sometimes. If I didn't desire it to be pretty, then I may have never planted it. By not desiring it to be pretty, we limit ourselves to enjoying only those flowers planted by others or by nature. Maybe that's enough. Or maybe there's less in the world to enjoy when so many people stop desiring to enjoy. Or maybe our appreciation for the beauty of a flower is simply heightened when it's the fruit of our investment in planting and nurturing it, which was motivated by our expectations and desire for it to be pretty.

> It may also be stamped upon in the next moment by a passer-by.

It has less chance to be trampled if my desire for it to live motivated me to take measures to maximize its chances of survival, such as planting it in a garden where it's less likely to be trampled, or watering it, or giving it better soil in which to grow.

There are probably good lessons to be learned from both points of view. Having expectations may be the necessary evil that drives us to change things for the better. But it also makes us less happy when they don't pan out. In fact, I think that's the message in the many sayings about changing what we can and accepting what we can't.

Maybe, but there's clearly and consistently no correlation between enforcing said illegality and addiction: https://www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/issue-bri.... In both of the specific cases mentioned in the article and my comment, it's a lower jurisdiction stopping enforcement of a higher jurisdiction's laws. Marijuana is still illegal in Colorado, but everyone knows that the TSA are the only ones enforcing it.

There's also the fact that a lot of black-market stuff only ever happens because it's illegal, which is why countries that decriminalize prostitution and take a treat-instead-of-prosecute approach tend to see benefits in addition to fewer people in jail for the associated crimes. I know there are people that won't break the law, but there are also people that make beaucoup bucks breaking the law because they're good at it. Which one wins out? No idea. Not sure if there's a way to get data on that beyond the enforcement vs. addiction studies.
I don't agree. I expect a reporter from a legitimate news organization (as opposed to some random blogger) to research it and find out. I'm sure 5 minutes of googling would have produced that knowledge.

The reporter could have substituted "chemicals" for "acid", which would have been less imprecise, but is still a scary enough word for average readers to interpret as dangerous.

Lowering expectations/standards for journalism is a slippery slope.
I have also seen switch statements used (abused?) to do a similar thing. Since a switch executes the first statement that is equivalent to the control expression you can pass true as the control expression, e.g.:

switch(true) {
cond1: return 1;
cond2 && cond3: return 10;
//etc
}

Not sure I'd recommend it but it works in a few languages :)

Elixir has cond that does this nicely without resorting to strange switch statements:

`await` was changed in rust 2018 to a keyword [1] and will now get a warning if misused IIUC. I'm guessing `async` keyword only shows up in contexts where identifiers aren't expected, so there's no ambiguity?

I see people breaking the law hundreds of times every week. People jaywalking, smoking too close to a building, texting while driving, double parking, taking a piss in public, theft, buying drugs, dealing drugs, selling sex and assaults. I would in fact be shocked if there is anyone out there who does not break at least one law per month.
Personally, BTRFS feels like it has a ways to go before it's ready for prime-time.

I've had two major and one minor BTRFS-related issues that have scared me away from it.

1) One of my computers got its BTRFS filesystem into a state where it would hang when trying to mount read/write. What I suspect is that there was some filesystem thing happening in the background when I rebooted the machine. I rebooted via the GUI and there was no sign that something was happening in the background, so this was really a normal thing that a user would do. No amount of fixing was able to get it back, but I was able to boot from the installation media, mount it read-only, and copy the data elsewhere.

2) Virtually all of the Linux servers at work will randomly hang for between minutes and hours. This was eventually traced to a BTRFS-scrub process that the OS vendor schedules to run weekly. The length and impact of the hang seemed to be based on how much write activity happens - servers where all the heavy activity happens on NFS mounts saw no impact, but servers that write a lot of logs to the local filesystem would get severely crippled on a weekly basis. We've moved a bunch of our write-heavy filesystems to non-BTRFS options as a result of this.

3) This is a more minor issue, but still speaks to my experience. I had a VM that was basically a remote desktop for me to use. Generally speaking it would hang hard after a few days of uptime with no actual usage. When I reinstalled it on a non-BTRFS (sorry, can't remember which filesystem I used) filesystem it was rock solid. I have no proof that this had anything to do with BTRFS.

All of these were things that happened around a year ago, they may not be a true representation of the current state of BTRFS. But they've burned me badly, so now any use of BTRFS will be evaluated very carefully.

In contrast, I've been running ZFS on a couple of FreeBSD servers, with fairly write-heavy loads, and have had no issues that were filesystem-related. Even under severe space and memory constraints ZFS has been rock solid.

> The problem is that one "tribe"'s material conditions are at the expense of the others. You can't increase wages without decreasing profit.

But while there are certainly many small businesses for which this is not true, for the billionaires and Fortune 500 companies, increasing wages would not decrease profit enough to actually change their lifestyle. At least for many, all it would change would be the number they see when they look at one of their many bank accounts.

In the meantime, the low wages mean that the "lifestyle" of a great many in the US is that of working poverty, not knowing whether they will be able to make rent and food in a given month, and certainly not being able to afford much in the way of leisure.

> Really don't like the magic field access syntax.

From a language-feel and ergonomics standpoint, I agree. But the Rust team has made it pretty clear why a postfix is much more flexible, and I think we'll grow into it.

I do think it'll continue as a bit of a Rust oddity when compared to other async/await implementations (e.g., Python).

Funny thing is, I got hit by a flood of these calls on Saturday. Funny seeing it here right after it happened.

Unfortunately, I called one of them back before I realized it was an international number (Android's dialer, for some reason, seems to record everything as an unbroken string of numbers before updating them several minutes after the missed call, so I just thought it was a US number with area code 232. It wasn't until after the callback that it resolved to a Sierra Leone number, so I asked about it on Facebook, and I got a link to an article on the scam.

I immediately felt like a heel, and then I blocked the number, just in case I forget to never call it back. When my statement comes in at the end of the month, I think I'm going to try to contact my carrier and dispute the charge. Though I'm not holding my breath: I'm on Fi, and Google's customer support is notorious for being virtually nonexistent.

The designers of Kotlin also had an interesting point: await (synchronous call) should be the default, non-awaited (asynchronous) code should have a keyword indicating that it is async.
We're going to have it either way, whether by deliberate choice or as a result of unchecked climate change. If we were to start acting now, even in small ways like funding public transit and new solar infrastructure so as to try to cushion the impact, that would make a difference. But we aren't, and we won't. And attitudes like yours are part of the reason why.

Intelligence comes with its own particular blindspots. A person convinced of own intelligence is likely to follow a novel approach that is logical even if it goes against "widely established practices". I think we can easily name examples from our own industries; both positive and negative.

This is a double-edged sword in that it can both cut through the cruft of outdated ideas & bad practices, as well as cut off valuable experience gathered through generations.

Moreover a person with intelligence and deep experience in a particular subject runs increased risk of over-estimating own abilities in other, unrelated fields.
What's wrong with doing an ACH transfer for amounts of more than $4,000? Most large banks seem to have limits of $25k/day for those transfers and that can be increased pretty easily (at least on business accounts). There usually aren't any fees for those either.
Let's assume this is true. What happens to the rest of the population? For instance there are many issues that have far more than 3.5% of people that feel very strongly about them, and other people feel very strongly about them in the opposite direction. For instance about 30% of America would like to overturn Roe vs Wade. [1] So strongly do people feel about it that this is a topic that has inspired multiple instances of independent acts of domestic terrorism over the decades.

So let's just imagine some chunk of this group starts engaging in civil disobedience and so on. You'd need less than 12% participating to hit that magic 3.5% from which it supposedly literally "never fails" according to our researcher. So now what? Clearly we're not going to now just go overturn Roe vs Wade. And even if we did it would create even more chaos. The protests themselves would also likely lead to violence due to the inevitable emergence of counter protesters. It may be the case that 3.5% works in some cases, but that's going to need to come with several asterisks after it to clarify what, when, where, why, how, and against whom.

There are lots of ideas floating around today regarding what is a soul and what makes humans different from other animals. Thomas Aquinas in the 13th century had a very clear conception of this, rooted in Aristotle, that I believe is still relevant today.

First of all, he said all living things have souls because a soul is the principle of life. By definition, it is the thing that is the difference between something that is alive and something that is not. Although we know a lot about the mechanisms of life today and how that breaks down as something dies, I think it's safe to say we still don't know exactly what makes a thing alive, and we certainly don't know how to create or restore life. If nothing else, soul is a useful label for that principle.

According to Aristotle and Aquinas, what makes humans different from other animals is not the existence of a soul, and neither is it consciousness or emotions. What makes us different is that we have a rational soul, which means we are capable of recognizing universals and dealing with abstractions, which is connected with our use of language that can express and communicate these concepts.

I recommend biologist and theologian Rev. Nicanor Austriaco, O.P. [1] for an explanation of how this developed and how the biblical idea of Adam fits in with modern evolution. I also recommend philosopher Dr. Michael Augros [2] for a very rich explanation of how we can understand that we have a rational soul, and what are its characteristics. Both of these men draw heavily on Aquinas, but they bring his ideas into modern biology and philosophical discussion.
