It's not hard to find actual numbers on representation of minorities in the media. Our anecdotes have more to do with our own blind spots than actual real life and don't prove anything.

Again, anecdotes don't prove anything.

The Business of Planting Trees (2018)
With very minimal knowledge of hardware, I wonder if we'll eventually have storage cheap enough and fast enough so we could just remove RAM from a computer all together and we'd have HDD and RAM in the same physical component. We spend so much time optimizing communication between different technologies, removing "middle-men" components but still requiring them as part of a whole that it's surprising (to me) that I haven't seen anything like that in the news/media/etc.

I assume it's from an obvious technical/price limitation, but again IDK a lot about hardware so...
The example on Wiktionary given for momma is "My momma's so great: she bakes me cookies every week."

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/momma

As I said, I am not a native speaker, so I don't really know how momma is typically used (if at all). It was more of a spontaneous use on a whim. But I also haven't found any indication yet that it is a derogatory term.

Sorry I still think the "offense taken" is overblown. I am also not concerned about not offending anybody at all. Frankly I think many people who feel offended about certain things perhaps should just get over themselves. I mean in this case, is momma used in the real world? If so, then I think it should be OK to use it. I don't believe in censoring statements about the real world.

Thanks for trying to explain, though.

* Frog: "Frog is a static blog generator implemented in Racket, targeting Bootstrap and able to use Pygments." https://github.com/greghendershott/frog
I agree in the sense that the non-s-expression syntax proposal also rubbed me the wrong way.

Rust is an interesting language but I have spent less than 20 hours playing with it. I am mostly retired now but if I were just starting my career then Rust is a language I would invest a lot of time in.

Anyway, I can’t even imagine myself using Racket with a non Lisp syntax.
Absolutely, I have a entry in my journal about wanting to rewrite Unison in C. Never got around to it, but it would still be fun. The same goes with Wings 3D, cool app, but Erlang? Really?
A free market could've done all of this faster and more efficiently if governments were capable to commensurately price externalities like climate change.

They clearly aren't, so this whole prediction that hydrocarbons are on their way out will turn out false. Any serious amount of political unrest brings gas subsidies out of the political toolbox. Even if climate change happens exactly as predicted, it will not stop hydrocarbon use. If anything, a downtrend in living standards will cause even more hydrocarbon use, as it is cheaper and more primitive technology.

It seems much more secure to do it like Firefox using grey for the unimportant part and black for the important part.

If anything, if "m" is hijacked (by a feature actually to use subdomains), it's less secure because now he thinks he is somewhere that he isn't.
I like how the ILO convention against forced labour worded it: “able-bodied men not under an apparent age of 18 and not over an apparent age of 45.” Makes me reflect on what “apparent age” means to a German officer.

Context: Men 18-45 were excluded from the ILO Convention on forced labour of 1930 which included all other humans. They had to wait until 1957 to be included in the UN one. It’s often cited when people talk about women getting the vote only in 1945.
You haven't responded to the points your parent comments are making. The argument is that making it difficult for users not to use your mobile app is hostile. You have been responding by saying that you prefer to use mobile apps (for reasons many people, myself included, disagree with). That's simply not relevant to the fact that it's hostile to force users into an experience they don't want.
Just because youre more interested in geocaching and building robots doesn't mean everyone else is. I get that these are just examples, but it's ok for kids to be interested in things their parents aren't.

Yes, you can buy the phone separately from the provider. The issue is if you want to be able to access all the frequencies the network provider uses. If you get a phone that doesn't cover all the relevant frequencies, you will have degraded service.
Since he mentions Rust, I have seen Rust being used for many different things and not only "systems programming", aking to a general purpose language.

Is this because the language lends itself easily to all this tasks? or is the Rust hype and devs using it for different things to learn the language?
Yea they mention in the video, but don't mention what happens with a higher aspect ratio. I suspect it will cause artifacts, like part of one frame appearing on the previous or tearing or other distortions.

Remember these sensors read a single row at a time. There's a Smarter Every Day video where they show how cellphones get those weird effects when recording plane propellers due to the way they scan images.

So what is the difference? This comment looks to be adhomenum remarks on forks.

Of course. As I said, limits. Some counter strike is OK, too much is not and it should not be in place of physical and educational activities. The kid certainly should be able to choose their own activities, but these should be educational and physical at least some part of the day. I specifically chose examples of potentially fun things to do because I wanted to show that it doesn't have to be boring study time/ride a bike around the block time.
Its hard to say what makes nations great. The sovereign will always honor their commitments, until they don't :) Because how far back are we willing to go? Most states/kingdoms in Europe have always been at war and there is a long history of reneging under economic strain. (especially wars)
Yes, but this way it can be decentralized along with the rest of the network, otherwise you need some central entity to manage these accounts and payments and you're back at square one where it basically becomes an ISP.

I think this is probably a big testament to the draw that Rust has. Its a great language with big improvement and it feels like it will actually happen.

Whenever I dabled around with other languages, I quickly found reasons to not go deeper that where outside of the language itself. Like, small community, not many libraries, will never convince the boss to use it in production, doesn't run on embedded, ...

Rust is the language that really feels like investing in it will pay off.

(Still - do some Racket, or lisp or scheme, it's fun and exposes you to cool ideas and concepts.)
You can trivially change Scheme to RPL by simply putting the function name last, instead of first. Apart from that is would be the same. There doesn't have to be a stack either.

If you mean concatenative languages (like Nim), then the difference is that a function in concatenative languages can push and pull an arbitrary number of arguments. This makes it trivial for a function to return two arguments, of which the next to functions use one each. It makes it non-trivial to have var-args. Magic like having a function consume as many further elements as the number on the top of the stack says is of course also possible.

Edit: Oh sorry, I confused "RPL" with "RPN". I don't know about RPL.
5. Your credit score suffers from an underflow after opening a million different credit cards to unlock a million phones.
Well, this is in the end a very subjective thing but I'm with Greg on this one. A syntax without s-expressions is not an innovative feature. For me, it's not even desirable, not at all. When I'm using non-Lispy languages like Rust, Ada, Nim, and currently a lot of Go, that's despite their annoying syntactic idiosyncrasies. All of those quirky little curly braces and special symbols to save few keystrokes. I'd much prefer if all of these languages used s-expressions. That syntax is so simple that it makes you focus on the semantics.
I think who is getting the money should be as important to the case as the fact money was going to them. The legal doctrine they used to distribute the money like this is supposed to be used to benefit the class members indirectly (because giving each party a small amount of money directly would be silly). How does giving money to Stanford and Harvard help anyone?
Absosmurfly, yes!

I would love to participate in the broader discussion, but then I would have to join Twitter.

If I could muster the penchant for finishing things, perhaps I could join academia.

I can't speak for other religions, but in Judaism, the 120 is used in common practice to mean "long life". It's how long Moses lived.

It's not about a single mistake though but a combination of them, that are all consistent with the identity switch and not consistent with the single identity.

It's because it's terse with quite a low amount of mnemonics (a meaningful feature is only 1-2 characters, there's no padding for a spacial understanding of hierarchies, etc.., compared to your host language), and even though it comes in very handy, most developers aren't spending a large amount of time writing them in your average project.
Even though it seems clear that the checklist itself has to be well designed, I don't think it's a bad idea to ensure they are followed. Strategies like the one the OP proposed are independent from checklist quality.

An important aspect of the impact part is that there are many highly non-linear processes. A change from -10 deg C to -7 deg C might not be a huge deal, but a change from -2 deg C to +1 deg C can be as ice melts around 0 deg C.

Another important aspect is that "average temperature" conceals change, by virtue of being an average. The average of (10, 10, 11, 13) is 11, but so is the average of (5, 7, 15, 17).
It's better to risk being spied on by a country where you have lots of expats working in their tech industry. Having those expats greatly increases the likelihood of someone whistleblowing in your country's favor and someone objecting to abuses in your country's favor.

There are thousands upon thousands of first and second generation Indians working in the US and UK tech industries. There are hardly any working in the Chinese tech industry.
An oldie but a goodie is "Man Made Sun: The Quest for Fusion Power" by T.A. Heppenheimer from 1984 or so.
While true, doing such background checks gets a lot easier with documentation like birth certificates.

I assume a large fraction of people who have considered committing this kind of fraud, have decided against it because they realised it would be relatively easy to investigate.

(And I expect that places with birth certificates also tend to have a more consistent presence of other kinds of records, and a higher law enforcement budget for investigating possible instances of fraud, when compared to places without birth certificates.)

NYC Mesh pays for a backhaul. I assume that this use is covered in the ToS, but it isn't just a normal residential internet connection.

I used Unison to sync between two laptops. In using only one laptop now and I switched to Syncthing to sync some folders of my phone, tablets and laptop. Unfortunately Unison doesn't run on Android. I liked the way it could perform a merge of the folders from different computers.
On the contrary, I find physical textbooks to be largely superior to digital mediums.

You aren't limited by DRM imposed by the various educational companies. (I loved only being able to download and print 5 sequential pages at a time when you're looking at printing a page of questions for each chapter)

I find it more engaging with using a real textbook. You can feel the pages, write in the margins, not be distracted by things like apps, etc. on the same device.

It's so much easier and faster to flip a section of pages when you want to quickly flip between different chapters/pages for referencing other parts of the textbook as opposed to janky UIs.

I know we're both being anecdotal, but it seems like my opinion is going the way of the dodo, considering the younger generations grew up with staring at tablets/screens from day one so they're used to it.
That is actually really sad. I wonder what are the chances of someone reimplementing NDI support as FOSS?
Your comment is a powerful acknowledgement of the dominance of your group (white male) via a technique that I've only seen a few times: specifically describing some of the perquisites of your position in society.

As I've dealt with various issues throughout my life, I've had identity crises where I've had to deal with similar introspection due to being a male, which comes with a number of ... social benefits (I feel gross saying it). while I'm mostly white, the dark skin color that I had as a child set me apart, and I think prepared me for the introspection that I had to go through.

Was there a specific book or experience that aided you? I'm always hunting down challenges to what I perceive as natural, normal or inevitable.

Sorry but this is wishful thinking to say the least.

Oil, coal and gas not only are cheap, reliable, plentiful and versatile materials we have learned to turn into an excellent source for transportation, they are also used for many other things we take for granted. Probably 80% of the stuff we surround ourselves with is made of oil-based products some way or another.

I happen to be involved with a group that is trying to find alternatives to ex. plastic but it's simply not even close to looking like we have useful alternative let alone for the multitude of usages plastic can be used for.

For energy, we are even further of. This is a physics problem it's not like there were just a bunch of easy solutions waiting for someone to pick them up. Oil won for a number of reasons.

What most people forget is that it's not like oil somehow dominated simply because it was being promoted by some evil conglomerate, oil dominated and still dominates because of the many different ways we can utilize it to make our live better, safer, easier, richer more plentiful etc.

Furthermore things like this:

"> A central argument for fossil fuels’ continued dominance is that humanity will surpass 10 billion at some point, and all those people will want something like the Western living standards built over the past 100 years on the back of coal, gas, and oil. Yet what a poverty of imagination this betrays, especially in light of climate change, which hits the poorest hardest. How can that be the pinnacle of civilization? What even constitutes “higher living standards” in a world where the costs of our existing technologies are so transparent? Far from securing hydrocarbon dominance for another 100 years, the needs and aspirations of future generations demand it give way to something more sustainable."

Is especially missing the point.

Nature didn't give us a safe and friendly environment we made unsafely, it gave us a hostile and unfriendly environment that we through the use of ex fossil fuels have made safe.

The poor nations will only be hardest affected if they don't have access to cheap and plentiful energy which is what the environmental movement seems to be pushing for.

I don't think that's done on purpose but the result is that poor nations will be more dependent on rich nations if we don't allow them to gain propserity.

I know that this is heresy on HN but it needs to be said.
