You're conflating experimental aircraft with commercial passenger aircraft. The latter are highly regulated. The former can be tested with an experimental airworthiness certificate, which is significantly less regulated but also significantly more restricted — e.g. they generally have operating limitations prohibiting carrying passengers for hire or flying over populated areas until they're sufficiently proven.
There is also polyrhythms. I already knew the Chinese remainder theorem when I was taught it in high school, because of music.

Is it the general Scheme syntax-rules macros that you're struggling with? Or something unique to Racket? (which I haven't used)

Publishing is in a similar position to streaming, but I find that I can be satisfied with one publication subscription as opposed to streaming where I have 3-4 subscriptions.

You can remain very much in the loop by getting a subscription at one of the major 'centrist' general newspapers (NYT, WaPo).
Subjective (adj)

1) Dependent on or taking place in a person's mind rather than the external world.

2) Based on a given person's experience, understanding, and feelings; personal or individual.

#1 is exactly “feels dangerous but isn’t”. #2 also works because it fits into magicalhippo’s narrative about kids falling and adjusting their safety boundaries.

I won’t bother about “objective danger” because you didn’t either.

The "Lies" group giving out Qurans got banned a few years ago and groups on the left are still regularly hit with §129 trials and cant be employed in the public sector. The AFD is far from being silenced or even prosecuted. They are a far right party and that is pointed out. I dont think there is a miss characterization. And not even Pegida marches are prosecuted or banned. People on the right being prosecuted are the same old nazis as before. Groups and parties like the NPD, the Unsterbliche group or the DritteWeg who run around in uniforms with illegal torchlight marches shouting for a return of national socialism.

I think it's literally about dangers coming from the objects vs the dangers that are coming from the subjects behaviours.

You want to to eliminate unnecessary dangers introduced by the objects, and those are fully under the designers control. It's not reasonable or possible to try fully control the subjects to eliminate all risk.

I guess they probably use a rolling hash, that would be the smart thing to do.

I think I first heard of them with casync. The gist of it is that you hash file contents in a sliding window, and use a condition on the resulting hash to chunck your file. That way, blocks are determined by the file content, not an arbitrary offset, and this allows to propagate deltas even with insertions or removals.

Do you have any recommendations for places to start reading? I didn't realise it was a well studied area - naively it seems like it would be possible in many languages. It would certainly be trivial for 90% of the transpiled / polyfilled stuff that we do in modern typescript / javascript.

I completely agree that doing this to live-update an optimized build would extremely expensive and difficult. And I'll happily acknowledge that (for example) adding or moving fields in a struct would be hard to implement.

But adding a compiled specialization of a template function / class should be "easy" to handle. Its non-local, but I can imagine a dependancy tree of functions needed for the compilation. On update, we can figure out a diff of that tree, free all the now-unused function bodies in the binary and then add (compiling if necessary) all the added / updated functions.

C++ might be one of the worst languages to implement this for - .NET, JVM, typescript or Go might all be much easier. But yeah, if this has been extensively looked in to I'd love to learn why we don't do it for modern development. It seems like an obvious win, and if we don't do it I hope its for good reasons.
The suspicion might go back a long time, but the PR campaign is relatively new, at least at the current level. I do remember the occasional story a few years ago, but not this barrage of articles.
If you look at Einstein Bagles menu they have

Nova Lox and Schmear (yiddish for smear/spread which is usually cream cheese or flavored cream cheese)on the menu.

I'd say both terms(lox(originally pronounced lacks) and shmear) are sufficiently commercialized that they are common at any bagel place even outside of cities with large Jewish populations.

At least in the US, maybe not in the UK.

Also note that most lox isn't actually lox.
Traditional Jewish Lox is brined salmon belly. These days lox usually refers to any smoked salmon, especially less salty types then traditional lox

You might still want to learn how to deal with grief and loss though. If you had 12 kids to avoid the possibility of losing all of your kids or all of one gender of your kids, it might still happen anyway. What if you lose your favorite one? What if you still lose all of them? I don’t wish any of that on you or anyone, but I just have to say that breeding for redundancy to avoid the pain of loss strikes me as being, and this is putting it mildly, a tad immature.

This is probably not the answer you're looking for, but I made this transition entirely as a self-responsibility. In the first year, I struggled with iron deficiency because I hadn't really figured out how cutting out dairy and meat would affect me in the long run.

Gradually, I started adding more seeds and nuts to my diet (of which there are endless varieties) and immediately noticed great results. I started traveling in Asia later on and developed a deep admiration for fruit, which has become the foundation of my diet for the most part.

I enjoy brown rice, lentils, and buckwheat which are very easy for your gut to digest. Once you find foods that work really great with your body, you can start experimenting with different types of supplements.

For example, there are a lot of varieties of algae which are extremely healthy and provide a significant "high" when consumed. And yes, spirulina tastes like rectum but you can find ways to make it bearable.

Lastly, rather than focusing on "rethinking", look at your current diet and recognize the stuff that might not the best for you. I mean, I might be a vegan (though I don't identify as such), but I cannot tell you stop eating meat or dairy because you have to make this decision on your own. As for social habits, nowadays there are so many cafes and restaurants that specialize in healthy food, you can always visit and yield a ton of inspiration.

On most days, my food shelves look like a scientific laboratory. And it can get all kinds of funny reactions from people. But, as I said, the benefits and changes I have experienced have been monumental.

Objective of Google is to maximize their search revenue. The biggest driver of revenue is users. More users use Google search more often if it shows them relevant high quality content more often and they're satisfied after clicking through and reading.

If it's getting file change notifications, it can look at which blocks had changes written, and only do those. This doesn't help if every block has changes, but most programs that work on big files will have ways to minimize the number of blocks touched, simply to make it faster to save the file.

> Numpy is basically a library stuck on top of Python with Python not being aware of numpy or multi-dimensional arrays at all. It's ridiculous that numerical and scientific programming has devolved into working with numpy.

This! So much this!

Many people have lived through different phases of numpy appreciation. First, when it appeared, it was amazing to be able to access huge arrays from within a script. Then when it evolved, there was a slight suspicion that things were going a bit out of hand. Later it became a caricature of itself when it began to replace matlab. Today, we are in the tragic state where many young people think that "the only possible way to multiply two matrices on a computer is by using numpy.dot".
China’s Rover Reveals Moon’s Hidden Depths
I'm quite sure I see what you're saying, but I'm quite certain you don't see what I'm saying. It seems like you're trying to not understand, rather than trying to understand. This is part of the point I am trying to get at.

Your analogy seems flawed to me. The Huffington Post is a fairly trashy rag that prints vague, half-informed articles on a wide variety of subjects, mostly in a click-baity form. Memetics is a label assigned to an abstract concept.

Could widespread public understanding and acceptance of what the Huffington Post writes change the world? Not in any plausible way I can see. Could widespread public understanding and acceptance (or at least open-minded consideration) of the concepts (delusional beliefs, reality vs perception, epistemology, etc) that fall under the Memetics label change the world? I think....maybe. If, that is, some way could be found to accomplish the "understanding and acceptance (or at least open-minded consideration)" part. Unfortunately, this seems much less likely, as conversations like this well demonstrate, imho. It's kind of a self-referential problem if you think about it, which is why it's so difficult I guess.

> As for this pedantic discussion

Oh there's no doubt it's pedantic, but pedantry is sometimes useful in non-cooperative/evasive conversations. But even more importantly, I find it personally useful to take these conversations as far as possible before my "adversary's" sense of amusement runs out. I think it is useful (or at least interesting) to learn more about the nature/behaviors of intelligent people who do not have conflicting values or goals with me, or even conflicting abstract beliefs ("I would say reducing the amount of delusional beliefs held by individuals is extremely, urgently important"), yet who seem determined to seek ways to fail. If you and I, who seem to be in full agreement (discovered only through pedantic dedication to keeping this conversation on topic) on what is important, can't seem to reach a point of mutually respectful and reasonable conversation, whom may I ask do you think is going to fix this problem in democratic societies? The media? The politicians?

On even semi-complicated topics, people don't really know what the fuck they're talking about at least half the time. At best they're "kinda" right. You might expect this from the general public, but when it starts infecting the culture of sites like HN, that seems like a very bad sign to me.
> Move any jumps in time to once a century (or millennium)

Instead of building it into all into the protocol and time libraries, it's so far into the future that "We don't have to worry about that". We've had that issue before with Y2K.

In a very different time. Today it would not be as easy - in fact since time and date are ubiquitous, it's not a simple task at all.

It is ironic, you're right. But we all know Dropbox was never really respected by the userbase here, beyond being a magical money making endeavor.

My guess is following: some people will put in doubt the rationale of using threads for embedded development as such.

See, MCUs are much more interrupt driven than today's PCs, when it comes to I/O, and don't have to run interface logic as it's usually done in hardware.

You can make a widget feel quite snappy and interactive even with very simple linear code.

For the few tasks genuinely requiring real parallelism, or programming fancy multicore MCUs, it will likely be that you will need more than just thread separation, and it is better to do it properly than use hacks — in other world, use process separation and let complexities be handled by the OS.
It's almost as if we've tried something like that in the past, and the effort to avoid the worst issues was a monumental effort.
I'm glad you didn't. Tech doesn't really have the ethics standards that more mature fields like law or medicine have, but they should, and that sort of thing shouldn't pass muster.

> +1 for Nextcloud. The last versions are stable, well designed and really easy to install and maintain.

I agree on all but the last part. They only provide step-by-step upgrades, so when I finally realize it's time to upgrade I'm so far behind that it's much easier to nuke the instance and start from scratch than do the ten upgrades one by one. I'm sure this isn't a problem for more diligent maintainers though.
The low quality of Reddit-think slips into the workplace all the time. If it isn't a debate about semantics (the lowest form of argument, "well this word also means..." Etc) it's a debate about the second lowest form (the form/framing of an argument, "that's a reductionist argument..." Etc), and when I challenge said co-workers on this ("what kind of reductionism? So what if it's reductionist? Don't assume I believe in Kant's first formulation of the categorical imperative which you use" etc) I get silence as a response because this kind of archetype persona also cannot admit when they are wrong, or want to keep using these techniques as a self-defense mechanism and substitute for their own thought. And they'd rather not continue to have a good faith argument with me at a higher level, because I can get rough around the edges when people pull this nonsense on me.

I find it incredibly frustrating. It's a lot of energy spent on my part and I get no actual debate. No matter how civil I try to be about the whole thing.
The flip side is, what's the point of a freemium model if the free product gives most users what they want, so they have no incentive to ever pay to upgrade?
