Maintenance is my primary concern. I deal with software for a living. I want my blog to just work without me having to worry about maintaining the VM. Netlify makes this dead simple.

I used to host Wordpress sites for myself and family members. I've now moved nearly all of those sites to Netlify (for hosting) and Forestry (for editing/CMS). I no longer have to worry about malicious hacking attempts, Wordpress updates, or anything else outside of the site content.

Here is my post on this transition for those interested: https://dev.clintonblackburn.com/2019/03/31/wordpress-to-jek....

Yes, it got us ES6! Languages don't exist in a vacuum. They introduce new ideas, dispense with others, and all languages can learn from what works in the field and what doesn't.

If you're working on a personal project, it might be a good idea to try out PureScript and learn from what it has to teach!

These corporations are young and still have an autocratic leader that is forcing them to work against their natural value... as they age they will age like all the other corporations and come to value short term gain above everything else. This construct human beings have made has proven again and again that in the long term there is no outcome but degeneration to short term profit seeking that is what we currently deem "maximally efficient".

CoffeeScript was awesome at the time, and ahead of its time. JavaScript owes many of its new niceties to CoffeeScript.

Yes, please, let's advance the state of JS. And let's push the boundaries with other languages that don't have the backwards-compatibility constraints and corporate sluggishness that JavaScript does. Then take the best features and merge them into JS.

Things that you put on your skin often do not stay obediently there indefinitely. They find their way into your mouth, and as skin products dry they often become particulate matter that is eventually inhaled. This is especially true of makeup, since it's applied to the face already. It generally rubs off over time and gets on everything. Any one product may not have an overtly toxic effect, but when many such products are deregulated and leaving carcinogenic residues in a household the cumulative effect is serious and usually not sufficiently studied.

Yep the historical data is an estimate.

I don’t understand your last point. A 2m rise by 2100 isn’t the prediction of the article, it’s more likely under a metre. 2m is the 95th percentile outlier or something.

Even so, if carbon emissions are continuing, the rate of warming will increase. Also I’d expect to see a hysteresis effect, where the effects of warming lag the cause so it wouldn’t be surprising to me to see an acceleration of its consequences.

Finally, if the rate of sea level rise could up to triple in a few decades, why couldn’t it triple again? And again? I just don’t see the basis of your argument.
Why would lobbyists work towards rewarding those who flag money laundering transactions when, presumably as presented by the parent comment, they make money off of these transactions? If anything, they would be lobbying against a finder's fee.

If we take the parent comment to be true, the fees levied against the institution for being caught (provided they can't worm their way out of it in the first place) are merely a slap on the wrist.

It seems to me that many people who have kids early (and often have many kids) are those who got them, even if not by an accident, then at least without thinking much about it. Those who try to learn as much as possible first, often decide that it overwhelms them. Planning ahead also seems to be correlated with better use of birth control.

I agree that there is some evolutionary negative feedback loop but we are doing are best to work against it because that seems like a right thing to do.

Some things to note, attribution and identity also allow for things like ad suppression or blanketing. If you have already bought the product or made indications you are not interested and will not be converted it is very common practice to suppress you from seeing those specific ads. Its also common to blanket you with relevant ads given shown interest in a product or service.

Maybe it is fine to consider it a tax, another way to look at it is you are being paid on content and access on various sites (including sites where you make a purchase at a price that is fair for the product AND this information) for your information.

Either way, if you want to jump ship from that arrangement -- it should be just as protected that accessing that content is now a violation of TOS or a liability to you that can be resolved with (at the site owners prerogative) hard costs to you for that content or service.
> Strength regimens basically all work, as long as you eat enough and increase the weight

Agreed, but I'd also contend that for a total beginner (which is the context SSLP comes up in), choosing a well structured program that will allow you to experience consistent progress will greatly increase their chances of sticking with the habit.
I don't think we need legislation that is overly prescriptive by saying "this is the particular feature of the current web that you need to use to be privacy compliant." That's what was wrong with the cookie law, and was one of the improvements the GDPR made - it didn't prescribe any particular solution for advertisers, just told them "you can't do this kind of thing."

That is the basis of a good law (prohibit a specific behavior, not the implementation thereof). In that lens though, Apple's proposal is a solution in search of legislation, which screams "regulatory capture" to me - another reason I'm against it.
Here's a better solution: native ad blocking turned on by default. Far less complex, far more effective.
The logical thing to do is to build on what other languages did, and use established practices. Comparing what Rust did to golang when it comes to generics for example is enough to show the mentality of the golang authors refusing to look at established work.

I don't even know how I'd do that - even if I tried to book a flight that specifically didn't use a boeing plane in the US domestic airlines will swap out planes for different ones all the time due to maintenance requirements.

Choosing to use a competing product as an end consumer would require an immense sacrifice (like refusing to board your flight if it happened to be a Boeing, which you might get a rebate for?). Only if a significant amount of end consumers protested would the actual plane consumers (the airlines themselves) take notice - or if public opinion shifted to the point where there was a significant externality attached to purchasing a Boeing plane, but that certainly isn't the case now and I'd bet that Boeing has found some way to compensate airlines for the cost of having their planes grounded.

> First, in Scheme, vectors are not made of cons cells.

Lisp, too, has vectors not made of cons cells.

> make lists, trees etc. from cons cells

It's just that they aren't. Clojure uses persistent lazy sequences not made of cons cells as its basic data structure.
And it has strange behavior:

user=> (conj '(1 2) 0)
(0 1 2)
user=> (cons 0 '(1 2))
(0 1 2)

Thus we have the same external representation.

user=> (class (conj '(1 2) 0))
clojure.lang.PersistentList
user=> (class (cons 0 '(1 2)))
clojure.lang.Cons

But they are of different class?

user=> (class (cons 1 2))

It's a good programming language, but not a very good Lisp - since it is mostly incompatible and lacks a lot of the usual Lisp features.

> Sorry, I fail to see how asking to choose a specific geometric figure out of four can be culturally biased.

Really? You can't think of any factors other than innate genetic intelligence that would influence your success in answering questions like this?

Let me give you the first example that springs to mind. I can come up with many more.

I used to know someone who had anxiety issues about their intellectual ability and would clam up when they felt they were being tested. Anything that seemed "test-like" to them would make them stressed and confused. I would bet any attempt to measure their IQ that triggered this behaviour would produce a lower score than if they didn't suffer from this.

Is that a measure of innate intelligence?

Like I said I can think of many similar scenarios although they would be more hypothetical.
Agree with everything you said. I actually only do front squats now after a back injury from basketball. I find I can get a great squat workout with much less weight, and it forces good posture or else the bar will roll off the front of your shoulders.

And afaik, it was the dioxins that were the cause of the health problems with agent orange, not the herbicide and fungicide.

So "toxic dioxins created as byproduct and not properly removed creating a health hazard" sounds like a fair comparison, since they share that.

Are you seriously suggesting that "look-tap-read your name-tap" is quicker, safer, or more convenient than "press one button, which always works the same way and is not going to move, or change in any way, just because Elon needed more screen room for fart jokes"?

Granted, I can see that Mercedes implementation is stupid -- of course you want it to work before you managed to squeeze in and start it, but that's a Mercedes problem, not an advantage of the touchscreen (which, of course, you also can only reach once you got inside).

OK, seeing "exrx.net" I was thinking that TFA would be about side effects of prescription (Rx) drugs. But it's not, and is a great overview.

However, from personal experience, if you're taking a statin, and experience muscle weakness, get it checked out.[0]

> Very rarely, statins can cause life-threatening muscle damage called rhabdomyolysis (rab-doe-my-OL-ih-sis). Rhabdomyolysis can cause severe muscle pain, liver damage, kidney failure and death. The risk of very serious side effects is extremely low, and calculated in a few cases per million people taking statins. Rhabdomyolysis can occur when you take statins in combination with certain drugs or if you take a high dose of statins.

Basically, some drugs can interfere with destruction of statins in the liver, and so dramatically increase effects.

Apple wants something from advertisers. Money.

They want 2 billion in revenue from advertising by 2020.

They are testing the waters, and there's no doubt a faction within the company that believes that in the long term, getting a slice of the firehose of ad revenue is worth a small loss in revenue from opinionated anti-ads users[1] leaving their ecosystem.

The best part about the Apple walled garden is that once ads become an important part of their revenue stream, they'll be able to ban ad-blockers on their platform.

Well actually Lincoln is on the $5 bill and he might have been the most important figure in american history in terms of the ending of slavery, so there's that.

If you mean the $20 bill where Andrew Jackson is figured I'd postulate that most non-racist/non race baiting people don't give a flying fuck who's on their currency so long as it works - and that's because they're simply going about their lives and not thinking about how they can inject race into every single topic ever - which is an inherently non-racist way of going about your life.
I agree with you that this would be a more pleasant society for the majority, which would be a good thing.

> MCAS would never activate in a typical flight, so I don't think it can be that bad.

Also untrue. There have been plenty of flights where MCAS has activated (either American or Southwest released some data about the number of MCAS activations they had without crash incident). We (the public) don't have any data regarding a flight where MCAS would-have activated but was disabled. In the cases where we know MCAS was disabled, those aiframes are now destroyed.

> There's a simple and plausible explanation for why MCAS was added (the desire to maintain the same type rating).

The benign name "Maneuvering Characteristic Augmentation System" is in itself a Boeing-talking point. What it it was called the "Thrust-Input Anti-Stall System?". It's completely a Boeing talking point that why MCAS was added, it might not actually reflect reality. We don't have any incentive to trust Boeing or the FAA in this case, in fact, we have just the opposite, they appear to have been deliberately misleading.

> I'll stick with that explanation absent evidence to the contrary.

We already have evidence Boeing withheld the amount of authority it gave MCAS counter to what they told the FAA. We already know the FAA didn't actually review the software implementation. We know Boeing and the FAA didn't initiate any meaningful investigation after the first Lion Air crash. WTF should we believe a single word they say? They're liars.

The post is specifically on correcting weaknesses. Leg extensions verboten? That's a blatantly wrong statement because you're using it _absolutely_. Maybe for max loading, but nobody is recommending 1rm leg extensions. Specifically here it's being used to strengthen the VMO, so it would be in a moderate loading range. Without looking it up, can you think of another direct way to improve patellar tracking issues due to overdeveloped vastus lateralis?

Similarly, let's talk about 'functional ab muscles.' Functional is a needlessly vague term. Let's say I'm a powerlifter and I feel my core is limiting my squats. Don't tell me to squat more, because I am an advanced squatter and my core is weak despite heavy squatting, so clearly it would benefit from more direct work. How would you strengthen my abs so my squat can improve? Outside of extremists, most coaches supplement auxiliary lifts to improve weaknesses.

For what it's worth here's a video of Konstantinovs (800+lb deadlift) doing crunches, I don't think he would do that unless he found 'functional' value: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMjXVHHAJ70
