The interesting part is that current lowest-cost food production is a semi-random walk of various optimization paths to arrive at the status quo. That someone tried a different path, optimizing different parameters doesn't give any guarantees that further attempts could or could not go as low in price, or maybe at get to an overall higher value to a wider set of end consumers even if the price were higher.

We could be creating less waste, or healthier food products, the question is how do we systematically explore new spaces like that, even when there isn't immediate payoff. We shouldn't just rely on lucky whims of individuals - if nothing else our overall system conspires to a smaller ration of fewer individuals financially capable of indulging such exploration.
That doesnt fit human consumption patterns. Or at least American consumption patterns.
This has been possible for a good while, the most common algorithm is Parallel Tracking and Mapping (PTAM). No stereo cameras are needed, but there are also implementations that make use of depth sensors.

What interests me is for an open implementation of Street View: drones plus crowdsourcing and we'd be free of requiring Google services for street visualization. We already have open street maps, we could have open street view too.

You misunderstand the term neoliberal—it has nothing to do with the partisan right/left, liberal/conservative divide. It has absolutely nothing to do with neoconservativism. They’re apples and oranges and shouldn’t ever be brought up as being related. If you think otherwise, you have an awful lot to explain how the American conservative outlook on foreign policy and intervention in international affairs has anything at all to do with the neoliberal policies that the article is pointing the finger at.

> This is precisely what vector::emplace() solves, and std::move should be faster than swap and pop.

The whole swap-and-pop section weirded me out. Maybe I just don't know enough about C++, but saying that assignment (a[i] = a[n-1]) will call the destructor seems false.

As far as I know, the compiler should generate an implicitly defined copy assignment operator for these fixed size PODs and it should be as performant as memcpy.

But again, I don't have years and years of in-depth C++ experience, so I would be grateful if an expert could shed more light on this.

Real number is often just another approximation on the way to the true value. You are still counting spherical cows in vacuum.

Area of a platonic circle is a real number, area of an actual circle is discrete, but varies depending on how you draw the border.

You can count atoms and get your volume of the tree in integers that way. Bonus points for being temperature and pressure independent (more so than a volume of the spherical tree in vacuum anyway).

I guess they call those numbers irrational because they are never represented physically and thus are a pure figment of imagination. :)

You do this with a proper understanding of statistical power, and you report "no conclusion" when you don't have studies of adequate power. This is not actually a terribly difficult problem with a proper understanding of Bayesian statistics, it just doesn't lead to good headlines, because a lot of the time the answer is "the study couldn't really provide an answer."

Also, the comment you're replying to did nothing to indicate that the mentally ill are subhuman.

git urls are tricky to use with many tools (like pip-compile) though. At best they're slow, since things like "what's the latest version?" require downloading the repo.

I hung out with Chipper too, which was delightful. He took me out for a surfing lesson, but there were no waves that day. With my background in ultimate Frisbee and his freestyling, we had a great time tossing the disc instead.

As it turns out, I had stood next to Yvon in the cafeteria without realizing it. Chipper told him about me but this was November 2018 and there were huge nearby wildfires. Yvon said he had to help his community.

Chipper also took me to the tin shed and for the rest of my visit people treated my visiting it as a sign of honor so I took it that way. Since visiting it, I've noticed the phrase "tin shed" in a lot of their literature and now I know why.

Incidentally, I buy clothes almost only from thrift shops, which means no Patagonia. Their stuff doesn't make it to second-hand, which I conclude is a mix of their fixing policies and quality of manufacture.
It makes for a cool demo but all the applications that could benefit from this need much higher quality textures and better dimensional accuracy. Also there are certain cases where this fails, reflective or partially transparent surfaces, lack of texture, etc.
I guess I'm not sure how Maven works then -- I thought it was just downloading package binaries? I would use Github releases for that and link to the binary directly. I'd use a CI to auto-build and publish a new release binary whenever I pushed to master.

Hey there, co-founder of Wikiful here. We built this because we were tired of existing wiki platforms that are unintuitive, clunky, and slow.

• Export wiki to PDF

• Search

• Code blocks (uses CodeMirror)

• Tables & embeds coming soon

The other person responded "sea mammals manage just fine" after I questioned how a salt gland would work in humans.

That infers sea mammals have working salt glands.
Yeah, fairly certain that is wrong.

I think that would just call the copy assignment operator, would it not?

For correctness you would probably then follow up with a pop_back to keep the vector right-sized.

Actually you'd probably want to do:

a[i] = std::move(a[n - 1]);

Then follow up with pop_back.

Best would probably be:

a[i] = std::move(a.erase(n-1));
Running a python package registry has some unique challenges, so it makes sense not to start with it (I run such a registry: https://pydist.com).

For example, Python has a distinction between distributions (the actual file downloaded, e.g. a tarfile or a manylinux1 wheel) and versions that doesn't exist in most other languages.
But it seems wrong to put a mentally ill person in jail for crimes a lot of the time because it isn't necessarily within their control and/or they lack mens rhea.

Neoliberalism and neoconservativism are not two sides of the same coin. They’re wholly different things. Neoliberal policies are not liberal policies. It’s a 20th-century refreshing of 19th-century philosophy of the state’s role in economic affairs—called liberalism—which is engaged with from the right and left, attempting to push ideas on what the right balance is, while few are actually questioning liberalism itself. Neoconservativism is a primarily US right-wing dominated foreign policy stance that focuses on active use of the military and intervention worldwide to protect US hegemony and world power. Neoliberalism is taken for granted within neoconservativism, and isn’t questioned or engaged by it.

tl;dr — neoliberal and neoconservative are on totally different planes of existence in the world of political philosophy and policy; neoliberal doesn’t mean “new-style liberal (left-leaning) ideas”; neoconservativism is an American right-wing policy framework, it does not mean “conservative”, and it doesn’t engage the same arena of thought as neoliberalism does.
It’s very expensive to maintain two SCM implementations in something like Bitbucket and maintain feature parity between the two. Poor cost/benefit ratio.

Postfix cannot do what qmail can do. Specifically, users can create and destroy email addresses themselves with .qmail files. This is different and more powerful than Google's plus-addressing approach. There are many, many other features of qmail's implementation that Postfix cannot compete with.

Postfix is not alone in this; no other MTA/MDA can do what qmail can do.
Hey dude! Been a little while. Hope you’re well.

If we were starting from scratch, I’d be first to say let’s pick something safer than C. But we’re starting from where DJB left off, so there’s not much left to decide about language. Our roadmap aims to provide mostly Unix-process extension points such that new code can be written in any language.

Postfix is great, and I certainly hold Viktor in high regard (haven’t met Wietse). It’s just that some of
us really like qmail. :-)
It appears so. At which point Microsoft will presumably graciously permit its Windows 10 customers to uninstall Edge, and make Chrome-Edge mandatory.
I understand that, but they also seem to know a lot about what happened with respect to when things were checked in and with a little forensics perhaps they can figure out who it was. A deleted hard drive hasn't stopped people before and they shouldn't just give up that easily.
No, the answer is that there is a limited number of scientists and a limitless number of research directions. This doesn't have to be correlated with brilliance.
In fact, it can be easier to research some of the less popular paths because there is less competition and more low-hanging fruits.
Because the placement new might have been called in a other translation unit for example so the compiler can't track the it.

Not a solar installer, but who uses thin enough DC wiring that the current rating is an issue?

Most fire hazard comes from connectors burning out from what I’ve seen.
Sure, but the idea is that if someone is schizophrenic and threatening people, it would be better for the patient and society if she was admitted to a psych unit and treated, and possibly able to return her life, rather than incarcerating her for some time, releasing her untreated and then the same thing happening again and now she has a criminal record.

As a resident psychiatrist, I can tell you that most of the time I'm not conflicted about involuntarily admitting a patient, at my institution it happens rarely, almost all patients sign in voluntarily and can request to leave, in fact most of the time we deal with patients who actually want to get admitted and will feign symptoms to do so, forcing us to admit them. The times we involuntarily admit patients are when they are so symptomatic that they would very likely die without treatment (e.g. they refuse to eat because they think their food is poisoned).

Every field has its history of controversies, that doesn't mean the field as a whole is inherently bad.
I recognize there is a history of over application of medication for mental health "defects" - I mean for HN crowd the involuntary "treatment" of Turing for the "mental illness" of being gay.

But at the other end of the spectrum you have paranoid schizophrenia who for obvious reasons don't trust doctors. The CRPD seems to take the view that treating, even temporarily, is illegal and so you couldn't treat the patient to get them lucid enough to consent.

Imagine a case where someone has been unable to get there meds (through some disaster or whatever), and so relapses and becomes paranoid and won't allow treatment. Even if when not relapsed they do want to take the medication. The CRPD appears to say that the patient can never be treated so any relapse must in effect be permanent and their life is functionally over.

It also prohibits incarceration: so you're only option is the American system of waiting for someone with mental illness to commit a crime and then putting them in jail - they CRPD apparently explicitly prohibits putting them in a mental health facility.

It is hard to see how that interpretation is possibly good for anyone - the patient, the patient's family, victims of any crimes that they commit, etc. You could extend the argument to say someone with diminished mental capacity should not be able to claim that in their defense because by definition that would be discriminatory. It's also hard to see how an untreated patient could possibly provide a meaningful defence of themselves if put on trial.

Again, the rationale for the CRPD is sensible: it's trying to prevent things like how LGBT people have been "treated" by physicians, or things like the holocaust which also targeted people with mental health issues.

But the apparent extremism seems hugely problematic.

Politics is driven by the most extreme, passionately held views because those people are the most motivated to do something about it. Responding to extremes is a game of chasing goalposts.

My understanding is that eigenfactor rates journals, not individual papers, so if somehow you get low-quality (whatever you want that to mean) papers into nature it has no independent way to realize that your specific paper is low quality. Also eigenfactor is biased towards favoring larger journals, which is not obviously a good thing. It would honestly be really cool if someone did page rank for individual papers. It seems like a much saner metric than anything that is currently used.
