(possibly) interestingly, I'm of a very similar opinion which is why I was curious :)

I'd prefer remain at this point, as it's obvious the British political establishment has made a total mess of this process, and will continue to do so. Also as the economic consequences of Brexit become clearer, it's obviously not in the countries interest to do it.

However, I have a strong feeling that remaining now will give endless fuel to hard right parties and their stories of how great Britain would be if it could only break free of the EU.

They will get a lot of support from people who feel betrayed by "the establishment", and they can continue their narrative without actually having to prove anything.

Whilst I can see that there's no such thing as a "clean break" brexit, I think from a political perspective, the consequences of carrying on with this deadlock will be worse in the long term.

I can see we're not going to get much further.

Thoughts on Herb Sutter’s CppCon Keynote
Could it not be said that people who are so in to Facebook that they would like and want this are already (self-)lobotomized to a degree, by whatever factors make people revel in boring social stuff/ignorance and not wish to pursue higher knowledge or goals?

I mean most of Facebook seems to be:

20% of

- saying "I was at this location"

- pictures of food

- pictures of people's kids

- pictures of people at events like concerts, family gatherings, etc.

- complaining about traffic/weather/money

and 80% of

- reports of memes

People whose Facebook interaction is pretty much just the above, which is probably the majority, aren't really going to achieve much more in life without Facebook, whether it's reading your brain or not.

Addendum: If it's about distrusting your ISP you gotta consider that you're just moving trust to another ISP or service provider (or worst case both, if they're separate entities).
I agree with you. I do find your choice of word "decency" troubling to me. Dress codes are often about control and shame of the poor and in a prison visitors lobby that seems about right. This seems less about decency and more about telling poor people their clothes are not nice enough for a prison which is kind of funny considering prisons are purpose built to be among the worst places in existence in our society.

Trashy is sort of a slur on the poor. Not trying to call you out or anything, maybe there's a better word that trashy aka saying a person is like trash.
> The soldier in great pain was cursing the entire trip. After a short visit to the hospital, I drove the soldier back untreated. The hospital refused to treat him because he was so vulgar.

This is hard to imagine, actually. An incredible dereliction of duty by the hospital.

And your conclusion, as applied to the context you provide, is clearly wrong. Of course there are limits to what emergency response should put up with, but that doesn't even come close.

Whatever the technical niceties of "advisory" there was never any dispute that the referendum would decide the future of Britain within the EU.

The whole "advisory", "win margin" etc. phrasing is post-vote weasel words by the losing side (mine). Those are nullification criteria to be established before the vote, not after it doesn't go your way.

If Remain had won by a similar small margin, do you think we would have been using those words to acknowledge some moral failure of our victory?

Personally, I doubt it.
"It worked out fine" is rather debatable. During the 60s and 70s, prior to European integration, the United Kingdom was called the Sick Man of Europe with good reason. The Winter of Discontent, the Three-Day Week and the $3.9 billion loan/bailout from the IMF in the 70s were certainly not indicators of a healthy economy.
Recently had a conversation about "inner city" communities with a coworker. We're in Baltimore and she's an immigrant from Russia. She's concerned about the aggressive behavior/vandalism/crime of "inner city youths" - but being new to this country, she's unaware of how they got there/came to be there in the first place. Slaves fled to northern cities like Baltimore with nothing. Post-slavery, the communities and wealth they built were in most cases repeatedly destroyed/quashed/displaced by racists holding positions of power. The anger seen today is from being constantly cheated, generation by generation, by people who claim to have the moral high ground.

FWIW I spend 4+ hours a day in VR on most days and host VR parties for friends fairly regularly. Dizziness and motion sickness can and are still a problem in some situations (lower-quality apps, some locomotion schemes, and overworking your graphics card come to mind), but I'd definitely not say it's a problem for "VR" as a whole anymore since it's easily avoidable by having both good hardware and good software.

I find most reporting done on VR that claims dizziness is a problem is often repeated by journalists that haven't actually tried VR themselves. If you haven't checked it out, I'd recommend finding a friend with a headset and going to town on it for a few hours. :)

And don't worry, AR is (probably) coming eventually.

In the context of due diligence, it doesn't matter how many articles were sponsored by institutions pushing the products if there were not also articles or other materials that news outlets would have been able to find that countered either the sponsored or independent opinions. They might have noted that sponsored research supported this opinion, but then also have had to admit that independent opinions also did so.

Skepticism is all well & good, but it's not the place of news media to be blindly skeptical. This isn't about what turned out to be correct or incorrect, it's about whether any amount of reasonable due diligence by news media would have changed their reporting. And the available information at the time doesn't indicate that it would.

Of course hind sight is 20/20, but you assume that media was simply parroting, that they didn't look into available research and come up empty. Maybe some didn't, maybe some did, but the fact remains that if they did, they would have come up empty. If the medical establishment, those actually tasked with the type of skepticism you advocate for, didn't do their job, that's on them. It's not on the media to be able to predict the future. You are simply blindly repeating "They should have done something" when nothing in the historical record would have supported it.
Stop working immediately on anything relating to the company.

If you walk away right now, you own 40% of the company. There are some business-world dirty tricks Jim can do to cut you out without paying, but they can take some time to pull off, and some are grounds for a civil lawsuit (in the US).

That 85:15 ratio in your favor should have accumulated some sweat equity. The initial cash infusion works out to 7.7% you, 92.3% Jim. In order for that to work out to 40% you, 60% Jim now, the company valuation with minimum-viable product should now be $22333.33, and the value of the work you added via labor should be $7933.33, and the value Jim added by labor should be $1400.

If that seems reasonable, so too should the 40/60 split.

The value produced by the programmer-contractors doesn't count toward equity. They converted cash into company assets as a consequence of the business structure you set up. The only reasonable ways for Jim to ethically increase ownership share after you leave is by putting in more sweat equity, or by infusing more cash directly. But legally, the ownership share was established with the expectation that Jim put in more cash, and you put in more work, and anything happening after would require renegotiating the agreement.

With respect to Jim contracting the developers directly, that would not matter in the US (with a decent lawyer). Clearly, he was doing that as an owner/officer of the company, so the work product belongs to the company. In business shorthand, he loaned the cash to the company he owns, and then immediately paid it out as majority owner to a contractor. The work product goes on the books as belonging to the company, along with a zero-interest debt to Jim. Or perhaps the initial capitalization was in the form of IOUs from Jim to the company, and in paying the contractors, he simultaneously redeems those IOUs. We can't say for certain without seeing the incorporation documents.

You are actually being too reasonable. Demand an independent valuation of the company. Take 40% of that as cash buyout. If the company valuation grows over time, take 40% of that, whenever Jim feels like buying you out. Jim is trying to lowball the current value of the company, in order to screw you out of the value you put in after the initial investment.

Remember that whatever deal Jim may propose to you, you could use the same valuation strategy to buy him out. If you could be bought out by paying your share of the incorporation fee, would it be fair if you paid him his share to buy him out?

Metaprogramming is one of the core ideals in the birth of the language so is well supported. Personally I've not used Lisp, so can't comment there, but it is on the list of influences on the homepage.

Essentially there's a VM that runs almost all the language barring importc type stuff, and you can chuck around AST node objects to create code, so metaprogramming is done in the core Nim language. You can read files so it's easy to slurp files and use them to generate code or other data processing at compile-time.

Several simple utility operations in the stdlib make things really fluid; the easy ability to `quote` blocks of code to AST, and outputting nodes and code to string. This lets you both hack something together quickly and learn over time how the syntax trees work.

Quoting looks like this:

macro repeat(count: int, code: untyped): untyped =
quote do:
for i in 0..<`count`:
`code`

repeat(10):
echo "Hello"

Inspecting something's AST can be done with dumpTree:

dumpTree:
let
x = 1
y = 2
echo "Hello ", x + y

To save even more effort, there's also dumpAstGen which outputs the code to create that node manually, and even a dumpLisp!

You can display ASTs inside macros:

macro showMe(input: untyped): untyped =
echo "Input as written:", input.repr
echo "Input as AST tree:", input.treerepr
result = quote: `input` + `input`
echo result.repr
echo result.treerepr

So it's really easy to debug what went wrong if you're generating lots of code.

Since untyped parameters to a macro don't have to be valid Nim code (though they still follow syntax rules) you can make your own DSLs really easily and reliably because any input is pre-parsed into a nice tree for you.

Here's a contrived example of some simple DSL that lets you call procs and store their results for later output:

import macros, tables

macro process(items: untyped): untyped =
result = newStmtList()
# Create hash table of 'perform' names to store their result variables.
var performers: Table[string, NimNode]

for item in items:
let
command = item[0]
param = item[1]
paramStr = $param

case $command
of "perform":
# Check if we've already generated a var for holding the return value.
var node = performers.getOrDefault(paramStr)
if node == nil:
# Generate a variable name to store the performer result in.
# genSym guarantees a unique name.
node = genSym(nskVar, paramStr)
performers.add(paramStr, node)

# Add the variable declaration
result.add(quote do:
var `node` = `param`()
)
else:
# A repeat performance, we don't need to declare the variable and can overwrite the
# value in the fetched variable.
result.add(quote do:
`node` = `param`()
)
of "output":
let node = performers.getOrDefault(paramStr)
if node == nil: quit "Cannot find performer " & paramStr
result.add(quote do:
echo `node`)
else: discard
# Display the resultant code.
echo result.repr

proc foo: string = "foo!"
proc bar: string = "bar!"

process:
perform foo
perform bar
perform foo
output foo
output bar

The generated output from process looks like:

var foo262819 = foo()
var bar262821 = bar()
foo262819 = foo()
echo foo262819
echo bar262821
Yes! I came into all this from Pythagoreanism, which had such an impact on Plato. It was a scientific religion, essentially, with no fixed doctrine. And it played a huge role in Neoplatonism, early Christianity and the renaissance. Pythagoras, the same guy we all learn about in middle school!

I've been through that over and over with doctors turning hostile and outright lying and am going through it again now after the worst year I have ever had pain wise. I never took a LOT by any measure, in fact very small doses just to get by, and only about half of the days in any given year as I cycled off and when situations were calmer. I have avoided seeking stronger things offline and will off myself before going there as its costly in every way and has no good outcome. I have a sensitive corpus it seems and can't take a lot of any medication, a built defense against massive addiction I am thankful for in a way, or else I probably would have ended up like some of the worst victims in a gutter using heroin. But I guess in the end what does it matter if you cannot get better anyway. Ultimately people just want to stop hurting and don't care about people's politics...and when it gets like this, and doctors and society and families are so hostile and blaming, the only plausible thing becomes stopping the existence that hurts.
If Jim can close shop and start a new company without using any of the original company's assets/IP/trademarks/goodwill then there's nothing you can do about it. He has essentially declared bankruptcy and started a new company on his own. However, if he can't do that and you outright own 40%, then like GP said, "he can stuff it" (love the wording BTW).

If the original company has any value to Jim, then you two should come to some reasonable agreement to settle the matter in a way that's acceptable to both of you.
Yup, and the literature misquoted said the same 16 years ago, appears some of the media was into it then:

Drug companies amplified that theme in materials sent to doctors and pharmacists. For example, Janssen Pharmaceutica, the producer of Duragesic, called the risk of addiction ''relatively rare'' in a package insert with the drug. Endo termed the risk ''very rare'' in presentations to hospital pharmacists. Purdue Pharma, the manufacturer of the powerful narcotic OxyContin, distributed a brochure to chronic pain patients called ''From One Pain Patient to Another,'' contending that it and similar drugs posed minimal risks.

''Some patients may be afraid of taking opioids because they are perceived as too strong or addictive,'' the brochure stated. ''But that is far from actual fact. Less than 1 percent of patients taking opioids actually become addicted.''

The trouble, however, was that studies that looked at the experience of pain patients who used long-acting narcotics for extended periods of time did not exist. So narcotics advocates like Dr. Portenoy and drug companies like Purdue Pharma had looked elsewhere, at surveys of patients whose use of narcotics was limited. And those reports were not always put into proper context.

It didn't, and 3 years ago that point was (in my opinion) at least partially understood.

However since then it has been treated as an article of the faith by both the major political parties in the United Kingdom that "brexit means brexit" (and a wide variety of other fairly meaningless slogans)

Now, reversing course would be seen by a large percentage of the population as a betrayal and would quite likely lead to a hard right victory in the next general election (although the vagaries of FPTP could make outcome rather random)
