> Shallit is denying the obvious. That animals can think only about concrete things, and not about abstract ones, is obvious. All of our experience with animals tells us this. It’s even more obvious when we consider just what it means to think abstractly.

The article uses "obvious" too many times. I think that it is obvious that animals can think, and I think that the level of thinking in other animals is not as good as the level of thinking in humans. Now that we have two obvious different opinions, we should make an experiment to determine who is right.

> Oddly, Shallit assumes that the existence of the soul is a matter for empirical science to investigate, akin to the existence of chloroplasts or asteroids.

We have experimental evidence of the existence of chloroplasts and we have experimental evidence of the existence of asteroids. To be sure that souls are real we obviously need experimental evidence of them instead of handwaving.
Reducing the Pain of Developing Apps
I like your approach, mostly because it's bottom-up, and because this is an excellent opportunity to illustrate common pitfalls. Those pitfalls can be identified using sanitizers (-fsanitize=undefined,leak,address,thread etc). With the correct CI setup you'll have a safety net, where sanitizers provide precise motivations why one approach works, and another also works, but at risk of undefined behaviour.

I have no opinion on use of C89 instead of C++, since that's just an implementation detail. Also, for your purposes, it works to your advantage, since C is basically the white-box of C++.
its physically impossible to live a modern life without a car if you dont live in a city
there are nearly 8 billion of us and we'll cross 9 plenty soon. industrialization, modernization, and globalization have already been driving people into cities for decades. going forward on top of that droughts, famines, hurricanes, floods, etc will increasingly drive climate refugees into cities.

we are already in a "housing crisis" that will only escalate rapidly as pressure from the net-influx of people moving in compresses living space. this is what ikea is talking about in the first minute of this video (which at one point was the link):

Yes, it depends on how much better the tire is (2x, 10x), but I still think this argument doesn't make sense. If Michelin don't use the technology, then another company might discover the secret tire and produce it and wipe out the competition in the industry.

From Michelin's perspective they would have a golden goose of a product and would want to exploit that for as much profit as possible...

Also, they're not just going to gain market share they would literally be the market-leaders in a new industry of long-lasting tires...
Generally a ban on cars only applies to cars owned by private citizens. Often the ban also only applies to parking. Your comment is pretty shallow.

after 5 minutes of Googling. downvoting my personal research results after 5 minutes of Googling won't get anyone to answer with the corrected version. I had never heard of agpl until I googled it and summarized what I saw.

It's a summary. if you put up a web app where you modify open source software as part of your stack, you have to publish those changes if people ask for them. Even if you are not distributing those changes. (This is my impression.)

I look forward to a correction from an expert - it's why I posted what I found. (Yes, what I found was outrageous.)

You'd need miles and miles of air to get the kind of blue sky environment we think of as diffuse light. If you wanted to try this trick, it would be easier just to deploy a big translucent sunshade over the frame.

Or just do the science with the camera you have and ignore the fact that human viewers don't like the results aesthetically.
EVs will be a seismic disruption of the industry to the point that worrying about tire life will be the least of the concerns.

With regards to these tire replacements, the questions that occurred with previous look a likes are still on my mind. How do they keep the open and compressible areas free of debris, if not snow during those months, and what effect does the debris that are not dislodged have longevity and safety?

Since sidewalls impart a lot of strength how do these tires perform during harsh maneuvers. Are they strong enough side wall wise for racing? Some tread compounds are sticky enough on production tires to allow cars to pull more than 1g forces laterally.

Even if they reduce the need to replace them as often, there are already tires that pull in excess of fifty thousand miles, I doubt they will be that radical. The softer summer compounds are not being discussed here and those are popular on many sports cars and non traditional sport vehicles

>The CO2 and microparticles are definitely a problem. One which can be addressed by banning non-electric cars downtown.

A substantial amount of the microparticles are from brakes and tires, a problem that electric cars don’t really solve. They still have tires.
If your spaceship is sufficiently large you could just point a lot of lights from different angles at the smaller asteroid to get the same effect.

Alternatively point a light strong light at yourself, so it is diffused back at the asteroid evenly. Photographers have used this trick for ages.
You know, I heard a story I could never track down. Apparently the Soviets were working on a rocket that would explode several miles from the ground, which they believed would cause maximum damage.

I had heard that all development stopped because the entire team watched on its initial test. They had carefully built an altimeter into the device that triggered the explosion at the desired height. Like all good plans gone awry they completely forgot that a rocket must first go up before it can go down and at launch it hit it's desired altitude on the way up at which point it exploded and took out the entire rocket development team.

Anyone know if this is a real thing?
Really sliding to authoritarianism since then?

Until 1968, every new play in Britain required a licence from the Lord Chamberlain's Office before it could be publicly performed. There was no legislation attached to this, so the Lord Chamberlain could censor as he chose.

Idris isn't imperative (Haskell-like with dependent types), but offers features like those:

http://docs.idris-lang.org/en/latest/effects/depeff.html

readInt : Eff Bool [STATE (Vect n Int), STDIO]
[STATE (Vect (S n) Int), STDIO]

http://docs.idris-lang.org/en/latest/st/machines.html

logout : (store : Var) -> ST m () [store ::: Store LoggedIn :-> Store LoggedOut]

They're both implemented within Idris, as libraries/modules, rather than being compiler magic:

- https://github.com/idris-lang/Idris-dev/blob/master/libs/con...

- https://github.com/idris-lang/Idris-dev/blob/master/libs/eff...

I think it'd be possible to write similar effect systems in other dependently typed languages like ATS, which is a relatively imperative language (C+ML-like).

Just a few days ago, on the other side of the planet from this author, there was a mechanical keyboard meetup in Tokyo. Fortunately through the magic of the Internet we can all enjoy the impressive collection of devices people brought, and boy were there some interesting specimens. There were certainly the inevitable collections of strange artisan keycaps, unusual handmade switches, and keycap sets only available in one group buy five years ago in Nicaragua. But among the bright colors were some truly unique custom designs the likes of which we haven’t see before.

It's not for its lubricating properties, but rather for increasing detonation margin [commonly expressed as a higher octane rating], particularly on high-effective-compression engines [whether high static compression or turbo/super-charged applications].

Are you accusing me, and/or any critique of something making money, of simply saying “sour grapes”¹? It’s always a theoretical possibility, but I don’t think this possibility allows you, or anyone, to dismiss all criticism that easily. It’s too easy; it’s like saying “a wizard did it” – sure, it’s possible, but unlikely, and this argument doesn’t help the discussion, since it doesn’t lead anywhere.

You make a similar dismissal of people being virtuous, saying that they can only be virtuous since they otherwise can afford it, thereby implicitly excusing anyone else’s non-virtuous behavior if they aren’t feeling rich enough at the moment. This is similarly seductive argument, but it has real practical limits. If you are stealing bread because you are starving, that’s one thing, but as soon as you go a little beyond that, it’s certainly on you to live up to your own ethical standards.

I find this historically inaccurate.

Wool suits were common middle class and upper class wears throughout the 19 and 20th centuries. Turns out that a jacket covers pit stains. Wool is also breathable, moisture wicking, and anti microbial/ anti odor.

And inaccurate by occupation - based off of understanding of clothing. Many landscapers and builders wear long pants and long shirts. In part for the physical protection they offer, but also because of the air volume they hold.

i like to explain monads as the same sort of thinking process as a 'design pattern' in OOP. People who have done OOP would have heard of things like the visitor pattern. In OOP, patterns aren't unified in some class, but could be.

Monads (and type classes in general) are like design patterns in OOP, in that they encode a common use case. Except in haskall, you can encode this pattern into the language semantics.
> Again ultra dark, so the camera needs to have an incredibly sensitive sensor.

Is it so dark? IIUC the asteroids is almost at the same distance from the Sun than Earth (something like a 50% more) so the illumination should be similar (about a half, but a glass that blocks half the light looks totally transparent at sight, it's weird to measure it experimentally). Is the soil of the asteroid too dark? Like what? Grounded coffee?

I use WSL (without anger) for serious development, for about two years now and have had almost no issues.

Running 'Pengwin' (Debian) Linux via WSL, RVM using Ruby 2.4.1 + Rails 5.1.7 and Ruby 2.6.2 + Rails 6.0.0.beta3

Today, everything works just as expected, right out of the box with no effort. This includes ActiveRecord (to SQLite, MariaDB, and PostgreSQL), including Node.js / Asset Pipeline, Prawn PDF and ImageMagick integrations, uploads to AWS, email integrations, capistrano-based deployments, Heroku Gem + integration, and so on.

It's gotten to the point where we spend more time helping OSX folks figure out occasional Homebrew weirdness, than we do helping Windows folks with WSL. Especially since WSL people can almost always just re-use any Ubuntu instructions verbatim.
They'll be testing in Michigan, so they should be dealing with that issue pretty quickly!

I think the parent poster is just trying to count the total number of functional democratic vs. {nonfunctional democratic, non-democratic} regimes at any given point in time. WWII didn’t create the USSR, so that doesn’t make the count go down; nor did those dictatorships they later propped up just come into existence. (Propping up newly-formed dictatorships when they emerge out of previously-stateless areas is more the US’s thing.)

But WWII did take a few rather large European empires with disenfranchised colonies, and turn their member states into independent, (at least temporarily) functional democratic nations. It also produced semi-global representative-democratic “treaty organizations” in the form of NATO and the UN, which, again, were at least temporarily functional and taken seriously and used to enact changes by the will of their members.

(Really, though, the member nations of NATO/the UN just all had a good temporary working relationship due to being either on the same side of the war, or being made powerless by the means of their defeat, so these bodies were just a formal representation of the way their leaders were already talking to one-another at the time. As soon as everyone in these nations got newer leaders, these bodies stopped “working”—because it was never the bodies themselves that functioned in the first place.)

This is trivial to do in most languages (including Java and Go) if you just stop to think about it for a couple of minutes. Just pass some kind of context object down the call stack (or make it available as a global — make it thread-local if you need). Then when an error occurs, just call this handler and voilà!

This is, in fact, pretty much what Haskell does. Except this handler is in a typeclass instance, and this typeclass instance is passed down the call stack, it just doesn't appear in the parameter lists but in the type signatures. It's a bit lighter syntactically, but ultimately it's the same thing.

Yes, but that isn't fair. From what I can tell a well done replacement should be slightly more reliable. However the real world is not kind.

In the real world retreads are more likely to be under inflated because they are likely to be used on a trailer not the truck, which is in general not inspected as often as a truck. Truckers use the same truck for the most part so they take care of it, while they hook up to different trailers all the time.

Retreads are also older tires. Retread doesn't affect the integrity of the tire structure, but sunlight, air and water does. (water only once there is a small track to the steel belts). These are all a function of time, and retreads are always older.

The above is what I can gather from a search, but it does seem like most of the information is written by retread marketing so take it with a little salt.

The usual targets of the Australian government's finger-wagging are far past the point of caring. Maybe that's a sign that Australia can implement more of a "show, not tell" model when they talk up their implementation of democracy.
