This is fairly low down the priority list for a language, even if it's very convenient for the users. Most of the older languages don't even have defined build/packaging systems. It doesn't stop people from using C/C++.

Why is it a surprise? Isn't the whole idea that at present we do not have economically viable recycling process and it's much cheaper to set it in a pit then dig it out later once we are able to convert plastic into something useful for cheap.

That makes putting plastic in landfill first step towards recycling with more steps to come later.

So I think we can call it recycling.
The point is that if the ontological argument is valid then you can define all kinds of things into existence also. The devil is just an example, it could also be The Most Perfect Island, The Real Santa Claus and so on. So it is a reductio ad absurdum.

Anyone surprised that an U.S. company was actively trying to bypass regulations to boost commercial success? If money is all you are aiming for, putting people at risk is suddenly not a problem at all.
I agree that we shouldn't focus on behavioral changes when the important part is an unprecedented buildout of renewable energy and improvements in building insulation and transport efficiency. I still think that choosing not to fly is one of the easiest things one can do as a westerner that has a reasonably big impact.
Haha, thanks for the poem link. It's fairly funny and indicates that a) they knew exactly what they were doing and b) that they knew it was somewhat likely that they'd get caught. Actually it says they already got a slap on the wrist from TÜV but could somehow carry on?

I mean it was pretty clear that everybody who really wanted to know could discover the cheating, but somehow it was covered up for a long time. Everybody knew about gas mileage results drifting further and further away from reality, too... And finally we got WLTP, which is somewhat less bad but still pretty bad.

Not everywhere. In Slovenia (and some other countries probably), we have a "zunajzakonska skupnost", which rougly translated means "out-of-wedlock relationship". If two people live together for a (undefined) "long" amount of time, and act in a way married couple do, they can be treated exactly as a married couple would be. That means, that one of the partners can claim they lived together in an "zunajzakonska skupnost", and everything acquired during the relationship canbe treated the same as with marriage, and split in half (unless someone proves they contributed significantly more,...). The existance of "zunajzakonska skupnost" iz not well defined and has to be decided in court, but it can bring many many problems.

We also have only recently legalized prenups.

Oh, and living wills are very very limited too. ..so yeah...
>You've left the realm of rationalism and are firmly seated in theology.

Nope, except in the sense that I'm talking about God. But assuming God exists (or can exist) it's perfectly rational to consider him unbounded by logical or physical constraints.

>The correct theological interpretation here isn't that God can't do something illogical, but rather that God can remain strictly logical, and still be God.

There's no "correct theological interpretation". That's just one interpretation (e.g. augustinian). Orthodox Christianity, for one, as many other religions, doesn't bound God to be "strictly logical".

So, this "God [that] can remain strictly logical, and still be God" is just one constrained conception of God. One can also argue for a God that can be illogical or beyond logic (such us that logical and illogical make no sense as restrictions to him).
This is shifting the problem - there is no meaning so whatever you say to yourself will be your meaning. It's the same as deciding to be happy - the moment you decide to be happy, you are happy. Done.

Another article that pops up regularly on HN, on this relevant topic:

The coming war on general-purpose computing

(previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19872364)

There are a number of admirable attempts to create the "next Hypercard" on the web. I haven't encountered one that really sticks, but as an old(er) timer who remembers the earlier era of personal computers - where the user was really the user, not "used" - I see that it's an important dream to keep alive, especially in our current cultural context of an increasingly exploitative web.
It's not at all easy for government to do its job because corporate soft power is ridiculously out of whack in the US, thanks to Citizens United and similar decisions. If you are an effective regulator, corporate money and influence will converge with a vengeance to neuter you and those who appointed you.
Good. The carbon footprint from recycling plastic is larger than that from just making new plastic.

A 35 square mile landfill could accommodate the total waste of the United States for the next thousand years.

It would be great to develop technologies that would allow us to efficiently recycle plastic. We don't have them yet, and until we do, landfilling plastic is better for the environment and the climate than recycling it.
Look into non-motorized treadmills. The curved ones are popular now, they are easier to use.

> Well, okay, if your point of view is that behaving like multiple other major languages and specifically taking the lessons (good and bad) of a specific existing language ecosystem into account before doing your own thing is the same as disregarding other languages

If you've only looked at two or three languages that not coincidentally happen to do things pretty much the same as each other, and not looked elsewhere, then you are indeed disregarding other languages.

what leads you to think that SW is the most expensive part?
IMHO it depends on scaling- as SW scales extremely well it might be, that SW is by far the cheapest component in this mechatronic system.

We could also realize that short of the mass murder of countless souls typically required to institute radical cultural changes we could build systems to suck the carbon out of the atmosphere while we reduce dependence on fossil fuels.

Congrats on launching.

Plus points if you can use bio degradable packaging.

We produce enough plastic waste already and making it biodegradable might be a good marketing point as well.
Caretaker burnout anyone? Nobody talks about it but this is the hardest of all. You can turn the back on a career but not to your loved ones.
I dont believe your point at all. Do you know how high the psychopath rate amongst managers is? You would be shocked.

I really dont believe that someone having fought their way up to a job that pays a 7 figure number per year actually cares about normal human people anymore. I just dont.

Pretty sure that's relative to the sales not to how many cars are EV of the entire car fleet , also probably a bunch of hybrids in that too.
It does neglect that one overarching design goal was to not be encumbered by any IP. That means you have to pick your solutions exclusively from expired patents and, no, you don't get to be clever and come up with new things along the way because, again, you risk one of the behemoths raining hellfire down on you.
How so? Do you mean that Cargo would support crates with names like "example/foo" or "org.example/foo", but that's just not how Crates.io works?

If so, that's interesting, but then my question is why we didn't make use of that.
> However, in principle, I agree with the idea of having a cashless economy, so that government has data to see who is lying in their tax returns.

This is really bad, because it prevents any kind of privacy. Want to buy a huge dildo from HugeDildos Inc.? Now you can just pay with cash. With cashless economies, you will now have their company name on your bank statements.

And this is just a stupid example. What do you do in a case where you have legalized Marijuana at a state level and illegal at federal level (like in us). You can sell it in your state, but you cannot get a bank account.

And what happens if there's a blackout? How do you buy food?
I think things get a bit harder once you have too much free time on your hands (like retired folks do) and live with a partner. I've been travelling for several months with my girlfriend now (after we quit our jobs), and it is not as easy as when the daily routine of work and other duties is in place. Not saying that it's not good, it is, but it sometimes creates weird tensions that I didn't think about before. Some serious travellers that I've met on the road had similar stories to tell, about themselves or their friends.

The root of the problem, I think, is that when you have a job you only really spend 20-50% of your awake time with a partner. When you don't it gets to a 90-100% range, and it is harder. No single person can fill 100% of your time.
Also, it looks like those who don't understand Kant are doomed to reinvent him haphazardly.

In the United States (and presumably England) this is called "common law marriage".

I don't know if it's enough for one partner to claim marriage to the other, but if they both claim it the marriage is valid.
> But, from premise 2, so is any physical real thing including the most humble being.

This doesn't invalidate the argument. A real person is certainly better than his imaginations of what God might be. But the real God is still greater than even that.
> Half the population has negative net worth, meaning debts outweigh assets. There has been stagnation pretty much for the workforce over the whole neoliberal period. That’s the group that we’re talking about. Naturally, this leads to anger, resentment, desperation. Similar things are happening in Europe under the austerity programs. That’s the background for what’s misleadingly called “populism.”

The way Chomsky thinks (and expresses himself) is always fascinating. The linguistic background is as evident as his political activism, perhaps a tad uncomfortable for conformists.
Yeah, please give it a different name, OP. It looks like you've put a good amount of work into the project itself;

However, as a normal tech user looking at various things, I would be confused by looking at the name too. Please give it a unique name - find one that isn't already on GH, PyPi or what not.

TL;DR: Brand identity = Unique name
This article seems rather perfunctory tbh. Funding is quite a big deal for museums, and the assumption put forward that open access is inherently better than anything else the museum can do with the money it raises by licenses is completely unsupported.

You shouldn't have been downvoted, as you're spot on.

Programmers who feel hurt, please take in mind that there will always be the need for system programming and building software platforms for enterprise levels; but the vast majority of small "business workflow" use cases would be best served by a tool allowing the final user to explore their needs and build a small interface to process .

Compare it to needing to call a interior designer or handyman to hang every picture in your home. You only should need hire professional contractors for real work, but small changes should be within the reach of laymen with simple tools.

Some of these are kinda poorly phrased, and the answer in a few of them could've been "depends" more than once.

I'm not a fan of the bill, but it is only restricting payments over $10 000. You can still buy dildos with cash, unless it's gem-encrusted or something like that.

Well, which is it?

Java has used namespaced packages since 1996, and it's been a roaring success. There have certainly been problems - for example, there is currently some absolute nonsense going on about the handover of big chunk of stuff from Oracle to the Eclipse Foundation [1] - but they have always been manageable, and don't come close to outweighing the benefits.

I think there's something missing from the equation and I'm not sure what. In Tokyo, for example, I'm astonished by the amount of cheap, fresh food is available at grocery and convenience stores. Certain items (like imported fruits) are more expensive than in the US, but locally-produced vegetables / meats / etc seem to be widely available.

It's possible that Tokyo is an example where due to the high density of people / restaurants, the "economy of scale" takes over and makes good food much cheaper.

I might go one step further and make the claim that fresh food is so expensive in the US precisely because infrastructure is designed for cars, rather than people.

We need more databases with per-row acl's, so that the front-end is able to directly query the database.

A standard rest database query API, together with a decent way to query with an old/different version of the schema even if the schema has changed, needs to exist.

With that, most web-apps could entirely do away with the application backend.
It can bring problems I'm sure, but is not having such a legal concept better? If two people build their lives together then I think they need to be explicitly about what is whose if they want legal clarity when things go wrong.
I remember looking at that project back in the day and couldn’t make the numbers work. Not sure if much has changed.

Firstly it’s an underground mine which is inherently much higher risk/cost compared to open cut.

Second logistically it’s a world away from customers (Asia etc)

Again if they had kicked it off back when, and were in production now they could have locked in some good terms from the starved customers and maybe set themselves up as a player, unfortunately I think they have missed the boat.
CRUD Operations Using PHP and MongoDB
(not related to Qmail... but...)

Anyone who used http://xmailserver.org/ ? The project looks dead for many years now.
We used the software on production Mail servers for years. It was very-simple to setup and use, and also very-very flexible.

There is also forum https://xmailforum.marketmix.com/ . I loved to read the forum daily :) 10 years ago.

I think the last feature added vas SSL support, back then in 2010.
For me this is a masterpiece of software when it comes to mail servers.

You should not rely on No-Name vulnerabilities. Their reliability is unknown. Only rely on recognized, well-known, properly branded vulnerabilities like Spectre, Meltdown, Shellshock and Heartbleed.
I'm not saying it's easy... I'm just saying that the parts of the government, that should be controlling this, are not doing their jobs. But I agree, that with a high enough level of corruption (from low-key bribing an inspector, to higher up lobbying at highest government levels), doing this efectively is impossible..
Infra and Corporate Security Guidelines?
hello, so I have a customer which has little security policies implemented. and it has landed in my lap to take a look into it. the environment has no vpn for external access, the exchange authentication has simple password policy without two-factor. some attacks have been done to O365 cloud and some accounts were hacked. it is known that internal address directory has been leaked.

i was about to suggest them to use physical token generator (similar to whats used by baking authentication), as well use of vpn for all external connections (outside internal vlans). and the use of certificates for authentication wherever it is possible to implement. but then i remembered about some IT security specialized consultancies that offer full analysis of the current breaches in an organization. my suggestions, then, seem to be too basic and not to cover the overall needs of such organization.

the customer had some resistances to change like "i am a manager, i dont want to use complicated passwords or two-factor auth." and so on.

please, can you help me with hints? where can i find a guideline for the minimum secure landscape to have in an organization? and how to evolve to a more advanced and secure scenario?

of course i would love to dive in deep text and learn about, but as well i need something more objective as a starting point.

thank you

Think about a dynamic where one person in team is hyper obsessed with work and refining his work.

While there are other members in team who have different hobbies or even have a family.

Natrually, the one who spends more time refining the work is often rewarded assuming the members of the team were equally qualified and probably fall within same IQ range.

Now, is it not natural for their supervisor to expect from other team members?

Team members will recognize who is pushing the bar up and will be bitter towards them because now I've to make extra effort.
Thanks for the kind comment. I did still learn a thing or two from the discussion so thanks for your part in that too :)

BigCo may not have been hacked. Could also be that they sold your data. Either to someone unethical or to someone who resold it or to someone who got hacked.
This is where you have to get into the nuts and bolts of Godel's proof. Godel axiomized "positive properties" into the proof. A positive property is such that either it or its negation is positive, never both. So a catastrophe is a negative property, it's absence is the positive.

He then goes on to define God as the most positive thing imaginable. So a real catastrophe is not more positive than an imagined one.
