I think you might be jumping to conclusions. The usage of disingenuous in debates also means dishonest (see my above comment). What I communicated was that disingenuous usage in a debate is without controversy.

No one reacts by flagging/reporting a study or paper for moderation because I said your position does not honestly represent facts or data. What happens instead is positions are restated in a way that better speaks to and directly addresses the facts or data to better prove their point, or they can’t directly address those facts and the debate more or less ends there quite efficiently.

Does that make sense?

I had no trouble finding these somewhat general but critical examples; the rhetoric is fairly common. With some better targeted google-fu I can probably find some great examples in heated scientific debates like Einstein vs Bohr and other great controversial debates.
Very nice indeed! Fun to see this implementation in Clojure direct from SICP. Someday I hope somebody completes SICP in Clojure. AFAICT it's been attempted many times but none have finished.

Btw, miniKanren from Reasoned Schemer has long been available in Clojure as core.logic (with some minor differences). https://github.com/clojure/core.logic

Yeah, I misread the copy initially maybe. It's meant to notify third parties that you have.. already been detained? Still seems like it's meant at least somewhat to help people evade lawful detention.

At best, though, it seems like it could aid a lawful purpose. I don't have a particular problem with it if that is even a fifth of the intended use case.
If I was picking a network setup from scratch I'd be going for RSocket, myself. It has nice backpressure and resumption mechanisms in the app layer protocol.
Especially if Dido back-stabs you, and she always does.

Jokes aside, the youtube channel Invicta has some good material on the punic wars, he uses the game total war to illustrate everything. There are a few minor mistakes there, and he only covers the first punic war, but still it's some good material.
It's probably worth noting - and I'm surprised it isn't mentioned in the article - that almost 100 years after the razing of Carthage, the enmity between Rome and Carthage is mythologised in Virgil's Aeneid. In that epic poem, its said that the people of Carthage swore to either destroy or be destroyed by the "heirs of Aeneas" aka the proto-Romans. This epic revisionism is not a singular act in history but instead one I feel we must be wary of even in the present. I see similar narratives forming about bastions of the "west" constantly assailed by the barbarians just outside the gates.

No. I myself use F-Droid, and my knowledge of Android development consists of editing a line in an XML file in AnkiDroid and rebuilding the app with Gradle like the readme says.

And even if the share of nerds is higher among F-Droid users, I still don't think coders often go “wait, this app is open-source, let me build it myself instead of getting a binary.”
The lands around the Arctic Ocean are really dry, since the winds off the Arctic Ocean blow over ice much of the year. Therefore, in summer what vegetation there is may rapidly dry out on the surface and burn easily.

If there’s anything interesting here, I suppose it’s just that “scientists use a quantum computer to reverse time” is one of the purest examples I’ve ever seen of a scientific claim that basically amounts to a mind-virus or meme optimized for sharing on social media—discarding all nontrivial “science payload” as irrelevant to its propagation.

I think one cannot overlook that a great many Canadians were farmers, foresters, and miners at a time when workplace safety wasn't a thing. My grandfather recalled men being ripped in half by the snapped lines from the log pulls, of being squished by errant logs. Similar horrors were commonplace in Canadian life of that era, along with starvation, disease and winter.
Plutarch's version, δοκεῖ δέ μοι καὶ Καρχηδόνα μὴ εἶναι is closest to Ceterum censeo Carthaginem delendam esse.

You can use phabricator (and its command line tool Arcanist) with a repository in GitHub, Gitlab, or even your own local repo host. You just configure phabricator to use an external repo as the remote (by adding a URI to it and setting the mode to "observe").

Eh, no. Carthage and Rome are both gone. There are lots of attempt trying to draw people around the civilization again. But the population, the new religions and the new reality makes it anything but possible.

Picture a US old suburban area as a network of multi lane roads on something like 5 to 10 mile spacings. These roads will be lined with businesses. There will be some area of small shops on the road, some of strip centers. Maybe a big mall. Some office buildings. Behind these buildings it becomes residential. There will be bus service along these major arteries.

So, choose to live on an artery near a bus stop, and that entire artery becomes available to you for employment without owning a car.

It’s true, you can’t get to arbitrary residential addresses without long walks, but commerce is on the arteries. Try to avoid needing transfers to a different artery. That is a huge time sink.

Newer suburbs, 20+ miles from city center, are different. They only have commerce at the intersection of arteries or specialized areas and this does not work for bus riding.

This is all for fungible employees in fungible jobs. If you are a skilled professional in a suburban employment your pay will be high enough to have a car and live in the quieter areas off the arteries.
Not exactly. It's more like, your email account at work doesn't automatically deactivate when you die. They're totally separate systems with different requirements.
The LGP-30 version had a ‘cheat switch’. A paper-tape image is available¹ and I've disassembled it.

The LGP-30 has one conditional branch instruction, ‘T’, which normally tests the sign of the accumulator. But it has a variant form: if the sign bit of the instruction word is set (‘−T’), and the front panel TRANSFER CONTROL switch is set, then the branch is unconditionally taken.

This variant instruction form appears once in the game. In the normal case, a player using a simple strategy (take another card if ≤16) will quickly be in the hole. But if the TRANSFER CONTROL switch is set, they'll be ahead.

I don't have my notes handy, so my description of how this works may be slightly wrong.

The game has no seed for its pseudo-RNG; from a fresh load, if the player makes the same choices, the computer deals the same cards. (I can't think of any way to implement a changing seed on the LGP-30, other than asking the user to enter one.)

The game has a table of cards, indicating whether each card has been dealt or not. To deal, it pseudo-randomly selects a card, and checks whether it has been dealt already; if so, it tries again. (Yes, this is slow.) When all cards have been dealt, it clears the table to ‘open a new deck’.

When the program starts, it initializes the deck, unless the TRANSFER CONTROL switch is set. If the switch is set, the game starts with the deck table as loaded from paper tape. That (if I remember correctly) marks two aces as already used, and that is enough to skew the game play in the user's favour.

It seems to be a property of every human society to mythologize the history of ones peoples. I'm not sure we are capable of building a society by internalizing a 'raw' version of our history.

>I see similar narratives forming about bastions of the "west" constantly assailed by the barbarians just outside the gates.

The irony is that this is a true statement of any major culture/society/empire/etc. Unraveling a complex structures is easy (entropy) when compared to the effort it takes to build and maintain one. All complex structures are always susceptible to atrophy and sudden collapse. All complex structures inevitably collapse due to entropy. In very real ways there are 'barbarians' at the gates of every major culture.

We have the wherewithal, the know-it-all to feed everybody, clothe everybody, and give every human on Earth a chance. We know now what we could never have known before - that we now have the option for all humanity to make it successfully on this planet in this lifetime. Whether it is to be Utopia or Oblivion will be a touch-and-go relay race right up to the final moment.

Basically, there is no deformation so miniscule that it lasts forever. It just affects how many cycles/how long it takes. Steel however, if you deform it only very little, lasts practically forever. You just need to design it to not deform too much at normal operation.

Incidentally, this fatigue vs. approaching the strength limit issue is why airplanes have limited flights. The fuselage/hull is made to last long enough, but not necessarily do well longer than that.
The Romans used lead(Pb) for rebar.

The reason why the Collosseum fell is that everybody removed it's lead rebar because it was worth money when Rome fell--without that lead rebar in the joints, every earthquake knocked a bit more off the building.

The Romans lived in an active fault zone and understood building to survive earthquakes.

> I think I’m the odd one who actually like working with legacy code.

I had a fun bit of legacy code wrangling a month or so back. I looked at production profiles of some very compute-heavy jobs (we have great tools for that) and found we were spending ~half of my pay on cloud compute in this one library function -- deep equality checks for a kind of object.

The equality-checking code itself is very slow, significantly slower than hand-written alternatives, but the objects are complicated (though luckily tree-like in structure) so hand-writing equality comparison functions would be a nightmare.

Many of these structures had "id" fields, though. Gasp, could we just compare ids instead of doing deep equality checks?

So I asked around, and nobody knew. Nobody even knew what the code was for. It'd be trivial to replace the deep equality checks with id comparisons, but we can't do it.

Seeing how some legacy code works is one thing. Data comes in here, data goes out there. Knowing which invariants the code is trying to maintain, though, what properties it assumes about the data here or there (Sorted? Unique? Up to date? All belongs to the same user?) makes making changes difficult, though. It means you need to write defensive code that the original authors would find ridiculous, because you don't have their institutional knowledge, and can't derive it locally in the code, and can't inspect it at runtime (or be sure that prod won't send a counter-example the day after you deploy to production.)

I'm not in the bay area, but I think I could blow my entire income. Some top floor luxury apartments are north of $5000 a month (even for 1 bedroom, I've seen 3 bedroom ones north of $7,000). Add in a top end Tesla with insurance and parking is another $2500 a month. That's $90,000 a year right there. Throw in expensive groceries, eating out every day, first class travel, 5 star hotels and it'd be pretty easy.

People have been installing pointless and bad tune-up apps for PCs for decades. People were installing RAM doublers for Windows 95 that just changed the size of the hard disk cache.

You don't trust Microsoft, but you trust some random Github repo? 'Kay.
It's pretty much down to Glenn Greenwald now. I struggle to name another journalist whose work I would be inclined to take at face value, without immediately trying to figure out what agenda the author is trying to push, or searching for sources to confirm I'm being lied to.
My point is that stating “out of model risks is what kills you” is a tautology. For systems where known risks are modelled, it’s highly likely that any “fatality” or equivalent events are controlled for. If you were to then look at the “fatalities” that occur after that, I would expect them to arise due to risks not currently known or modelled in the system.

I make no comment around acceptance of risk, “fatal” or otherwise. :)

> Also they are concentration camps by any reasonable definition of the term

Here's a reasonable definition [0]:

A camp where large numbers of people, especially political prisoners, prisoners of war, refugees etc., are detained for the purpose of confining them in one place, typically with inadequate or inhumane facilities. [from 19th c.]

Yes, large numbers of people are being detained, but no, the purpose of the detention is not to confine them.

The camps are a confinement only for the impracticality of detaining large numbers of people in small buildings, in the same way as jails.

And again like jails, the people are being detained because they (or their only companion, in the case of dependents) were caught in the commission of a crime.

They are jails at most, and as far as I can tell, you can leave at basically any time.

Buildings and roads are technologies that have existed for thousands of years, and may continue to exist for thousands of years. If you want to protect people and things from the world, it's hard to do better than walls and a roof. If you want to get from point A to point B by land, it's hard to do better than a network of cleared spaces. Sure, we may not know exactly what people in 100 years will want, but it's likely they'll still want buildings and roads.

Well, the Trump administration has been pretty systematic about some of this. People in cages and whatnot. "Fuck green cards" being a pretty much official edict of the travel ban v1.0.

But ignoring that, it's all a bunch of isolated incidents until it happens to you. And it is happening to people. A lot of people would not like to take chances with their civil liberties.
