I'm crossing my fingers here. This is really something they should have put in the specs if it's supported. With 10bit decoding and Rec. 2100 [1] support, this would make a fantastic platform to build a media center on. I'd certainly upgrade from the Pi 3 even though I don't currently have a 4K television.

Like everything else you need to consider the context.
I was involved in a rather big internal automation project written in Python, it involved a few platforms and targets and was ran open source style where each team could hook up to the infrastructure independently or make changes to it using PR.

Some of the code ran remotely using RPC, so part of the code sat in different repositories.

Naturally this called for multiple levels of abstraction and indirection. The results ? a big ugly pile of levels if you are trying to understand what the code does, that led to bugs, unnecessary complexity since it's hard to foresee the future and always abstract the way the code will need and the worst was that people simply gave up on trying to contribute do to the complexity of the otherwise simple code.

The main point here is worth a broader discussion. Part of the problem is that we tend to hide behind mental concepts that a ambiguous, incomplete or just bad.

DRY is a awful "thing" (a decree at best). In the worst interpretation it simply says "never write the same code twice". There is no balance or end to it. It doesn't have a competitor or alternative. It somewhat implies that it is always good. It doesn't define a scope where/when it should be applied. There is simply no broad agreement how to use it in practice. DRY touches multiple concepts, each too complex to put behind three tiny letters.

OP fails to make a great point, but the direction is right. We cannot take DRY and "code reuse" laws as granted. Abstractions and indirections have their downsides. It increases systemic complexity and may add dependencies. It certainly limits how easy the full system can be understood by humans.
Shipping. The US is huge and many parts are sparsely populated. You can free deliver in 12 hours in New York and make a profit. But you can't do that in North Dakota.

Amazon has the infrastructure to deliver anywhere in the US in a reasonable time and their size allows them to offset that guy in the Oregon woods ordering a pair of socks with a Manhattanite hipster ordering a $1500 coffeemaker.

You can make 10 ETH by finding a good hire for FUEL GAMES
I'm a big fan of Ethereum and of the Gods Unchained project. The company behind this game is Fuel Games from Australia. They are creating the first actual trading card game (TCG), using unique assets tracked on Ethereum. The game is playable right now in beta. The team seems to be delivering, and it is backed by heavy-pocket investors: https://www.crunchbase.com/search/principal.investors/field/organizations/num_investors/fuel-games

They are hiring for multiple positions: https://jobs.lever.co/fuelgames

Now here’s my tip... Anyone can make some easy money if they find someone that will end up getting hired by the company. They've promised it in this blog article: https://blog.godsunchained.com/2019/06/10/open-sesame/

I quote them:

> For the next 60 days, if you recommend someone who we end up hiring we’ll send you 10 ETH.

The date was June 10, 2019. 10 ETH is a lot of money right now, and in one year I expect it to be even more (but let’s not focus on my optimism here). Good luck to whoever might be recommending them a hire! Get those 10 ETH.

So counterfeits are an invention of Amazon? Amazon's business model is counterfeits, and they have no interest of curbing the practice?

What a bullshit article, in the usual fashion: collecting a bunch of anecdotes, to convince readers "emotionally" that Amazon is the devil.

The reality is probably that at the scale of Amazon, some issues are bound to happen. "Journalists" looking for "evidence" can always find some anecdotes to relay.

Counterfeiting is big business in China and other places. It's presumably a difficult problem. It would exist with or without Amazon. Article does not give any indication that it would be easier for Amazon to fight it.

Sometimes I wonder if the attachment to certain industries and jobs is hidden in the psychology of men who were once boys.

You were talking about "rails lines". I remember living in a coal town like you're describing and it was fascinating how much the coal terminal seemed like a massive Tonka Truck set. Big trains, cars and ships coming in out and constantly and the men who were fascinated by all of it. Those who owned and operated it, like a huge toy train set. I mean it was interesting.

Most people who worked there just loved the coal industry and what it was about, comradery, big shiny trucks etc.

I'd actually love to know if anyone has actually found any research on the euphoria and attachment people have to fossil fuel industries and if that has anything to do with part of their ongoing popularity and support for mining jobs (obviously asside from just the money part).

It honestly seems like some people would feel like a part of them were dead if it's all shut down. I did once see a documentary on post coal mining depression in some places in the UK and it's real.

Renewable energy doesn't really have the same kind of boyish appeal I guess.

On the other hand, Lisp gives you variadic functions like (list) (list 1) (list 1 2 3 4). Lisp catches it in a straightforward way when you pass too many parameters to a non-variadic function, or fewer than the required number of parameters to any function. (cons 1) is a plain and simple error rather than a correct expression that evaluates to an unintended (lambda (x) (cons 1 x)) term. Macros can provide a clear explicit syntax for partial evaluation in which everything is visibly delimited, like (op cons 1).
The world bank tells you half of the Chinese firms have emails but you won't know that far less than that of them ARE WILLING to use it. For taxing, they use super informal wechat group to send around notifications. I doubted if my tax officer remembers his email or has it at all. Regression adjustment or group it as outlier you know the best.

For hotels, I had experience that a 5-star hotel responded my message after almost a month. They have it but not in your way of using it.

Anyway, did you know the reason for their not writing that email?
I'm not a fan of countries who apply their laws globally but I don't think that is the case with the GP's hypothetical because the server is hosted in that country - thus that is literally where the crime was committed.

You may not be physically present in the same location as the server in the GP's hypothetical but the crime you committed was within the territory of that particular country.

To me, the equivalent is flying over to the country, committing a crime, then flying back before the crime had been detected and using that as a defence for why you shouldn't be extradited.

That's just my opinion though. I do agree that the age of the internet has made the issue of legal jurisdictions a murky one.

I was not talking from a religious perspective, I thought it was funny because I found the 70 year-good-life (health-wise) to be very accurate even in modern times; to me it seems the psalmist simply recorded what he saw around him (just like the Book of Ecclesiasticus is a very sobering/"uninspired" perspective of a "simple" man, very much unlike most of the bible).

The religious explanation for the longer lives of early humans, I think it is that there were very few people and they needed the longer lifespans in order to reproduce more and somehow humanity became more degenerate down the line; also back then people could marry their sisters so I suppose there were very few recessive genes (guess that could also contribute to the longer lifespans) :) ?

So perhaps the DNA could be somehow cleaned up and people could live 900 year life-spans ?

Also, in a post messianic age, in the Old Testament it was written than people dying in their 120th year would be considered to die young (I vaguely remember reading that just because in the christian post-messianic age you wouldn't die at all)?

They can do that online and or in a library. Once you start paying someone to teach them, it starts costing money and that money has to come from somewhere.
> If the abstractions are designed and named well, why should the reviewer need to jump to the declaration of the function in the if statement?

How will the reviewer know if the abstraction is well-designed or named without reading it? Code quality attitudes change over time so sometimes the standard project-provided helpers end up not matching the intuitions of more recent contributors.
Ok, I’m curious. Let’s say that I want to fall into that if statement if my product is named something like “foo”, costs under $100, isn’t discontinued, and has sold over 100 units in the last month. Fine, you can say now I have overcomplicated the domain and I should go back to requirements, but these complicated things do happen. Surely it’s acceptable to name my function “isFooLike” rather than “startsWithFooAndCostsLessThan...” etc, especially if I suspect management may change some of those figures later?

If that’s acceptable, why is an IsFooLike which only checks one condition unacceptable, even though it (imo) expresses the same intention?
Congratulations, this pattern is responsible for more security bugs than any other.

Security should not be an "if" but must. Presumably down to instruction level or preferably to hardware that does TLB.

This thing is a likely TOCTOU error. What happens if I pass the check and enter the function just not having the permissions?
The only way this is acceptable is if the code is proven to never do that, preferably to the deepest level possible.

I think what you're describing is a real thing, but the strange thing about Newport News is it's much more known for shipbuilding, and that employs about two orders of magnitude more people: https://www.dailypress.com/business/newport-news-shipyard/dp...

...if anything, I think the coal export terminals run under the radar of the local community. The people who live close to the terminals are too poor and lack enough power to do much about them, and the terminals are basically ignored by everyone else. There's also a lot of other port traffic in Hampton Roads, including shipping containers and vehicle carriers as well as a lot of military vessels, and that accounts for more traffic and far more revenue than the coal terminals. If anything, Hampton Roads is known for its military bases (all branches of the military) and ship building.

The thing about coal is it's still very cheap and so is responsible for very small amounts of revenue given its enormous environmental footprint. Oil produces over ten times the revenue per unit energy than thermal coal (and generally has lower economic footprint per unit energy since it's more gravimetrically energy dense and has lower ash and carbon content per unit mass) so is more economically important for a given environmental cost.

Additionally, what's odd about these facilities is they're for metallurgical coal exports, meaning they're contributing to the off-shoring of the US steel industry.

I see people write things like this from time to time, but I'm not convinced this will work out in practice. Human 3D vision is quite limited. We have distance perception, but it's quite crude and we have no way to perceive through things, to see their actual depth or full dimensionality. We only get a view of the side facing us. In fact fake 3D on two dimensional displays provides a very convincing analogue.

The primary way we exchange information is text and for that 3D provides no advantage, in fact it makes it worse by being distracting. Visual representations are a niche for representing certain constrained forms of formatted data, in the form of charts. These can be very compelling for very structured and regularised information.

The old saying that a picture paints a thousand words is all very well, but if I give you an arbitrary thousand word text, you'll have a heck of a time representing that entirely visually.
Not disagreeing but Germany got rid of nuclear and the reality is that there are no plans, no budget, no goodwill/appetite, etc. for nuclear. Even if that magically changed (very unlikely), it would take decades to get reactors operational again. So, I don't see this happening on a timescale where it matters for retiring coal.

Wind and solar on the other hand are extremely popular and all over the country. Arguably not the best use of government money, especially early on, but at this point these are starting to get so good that they are out competing everything else on cost for new projects (and some existing plants) even without subsidies. This is also a problem for nuclear because it would still be on the expensive side compared to that.
I was fortunate to meet him in 2007 at a local futurist meetup. I think you could say he is the epitome of "success through persistence". He's always been good at what he did, but if you go back 10, 20 years you wouldn't normally expect the level of success today to be reachable by his foundation, given how much negative skepticism there has always been around the research.

Inexpensive mobile phonoes aren't that expensive and where I live also the beggars have phones. To me seems realistic with a future where everyone is conneted with a phone, and at the same time starving and being ill because of polluted water (or no water).

Everyone would benefit from a high-level understanding of programming, if that constitutes "learning how to code" then I guess so. If you mean should you be able to meaningfully contribute to the actual work of the programmers, probably not, as a co-founder you likely have better things to be doing.

The reason everyone would benefit from this high level understanding is the ubiquity of computation. It's going to affect all our lives, like it or not, you should understand at least a little about something like that if you can. You want a population who have a useful mental model when they're told e.g. that parole will now be decided by "an algorithm" and will ask useful questions like "Will we be provided with an understandable explanation of the algorithm or its decisions that we can criticise?" or "What parameters is the algorithm to consider?" not "Will the algorithm have a man's voice or a woman's voice?" or "What if the algorithm becomes sentient and tries to kill us all?"

Of all the good and useful things that religious texts are (and there are a lot), surely it would be a hard argument to sell that exact factual depictions of life was one of them. These texts are used as stories to pump up the spirit, teach connection, oneness, useful life skills and outlooks, but do you really think it was accurate descriptions of how life was? If so, why? What data have you seen to assume that when a religious text writes about someone who lived for 800 years - it is not just a poetic device? There is nothing we have seen in biology or evolutionary science that this was possible.
I don’t necessarily disagree with the theory you outlined. My disagreement is towards the wording of the part where one may assume a memory is being forever altered or modified and I don’t think that’s how our brains handles storage.

The theory of events being encompassed by a structure similar to many mesh networks of memories and where order of hierarchy rearranges but the previous order may be recalled is what I assume to be more realistic. Basically the sectors may either have more or less frequency of being recalled; by whatever may increase or decrease the likelihood.
