Talk of metaprogramming intrigues me. I'd like to hear what a Lisp user makes of it because I find non-Lisp users are usually amazed by any metaprogramming at all and can't be as critical about it.
It's only enforcable against the parties to the contract. If a party receiving the seeds then passes them (against the terms of the contract) to another entity without the contract attached, that ultimately-receiving entity has not accepted the contract and therefore isn't bound by it.

An action can be taken against the initial party for breach of contract, of course, for whatever good that does, but that the seeds are now free of the contractual obligations.

You seem confused. The mindless paternal fawning you're currently engaging in is supposed to be directed toward your own offspring, not someone else's.
I suppose you've never once fast-forwarded through an ad in a podcast you listen to.
They do work, I pay Netflix, Spotify and Prime. But there is a limit. I can't pay every single publisher. Micropayments didn't seem to have taken off, and when I hit paywalls these days I turn away - I don't want a subscription in order to consume one article. I now dread the day where content will be so distributed across publishers and subscriptions, we'd be back at the start in a cable-company style world.

I'm not saying ads are good, and no ads are great. I'm saying there has to be a balance. And publishers are best to realise this as well since the more they push, the more people will push back.

Maybe (just a passing thought as I'm typing), the ad pricing model should change? Maybe if ads were more expensive and more selective it would offset the revenue by quantity into revenue by quality ad-wise...
You didn't adjust for purchasing power parity. It's closer to 40% of Japanese GDP (PPP adjusted).

They are working hard to lose the newspaper of record status.

They omitted some critical information last week in the Kavanaugh story and blamed it on editorial process.

Reporters Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly said in an interview on MSNBC that they wrote in the draft of their Sunday Review piece that a woman who Kavanaugh was said to have exposed himself to while a student at Yale had told others she had no recollection of the alleged incident.
Their editors, they say, removed the reference. “It was just sort of. . . in the haste of the editing process,” said Pogrebin.

I'm planning on building a productivity tool that combines the best bits of all the bigger brands and packaging it into an affordable solution. Fully customisable with an addictive UI look, feel and interactivity. I appreciate some people are stuck with what they know in current providers, Simple Board is going to provide a fresh, modern, addictive approach into the market which will sky rocket productivity in individual projects and team projects.

Less clutter. More focus. Especially on the kanban board page. This will be completely focused in on your project and tasks only. Think of a clean modern writing app these days with hardly any GUI. It lets you focus on writing. Now apply the same sort of style and feature to a kanban board. Very nice to look at, awesome, addictive functionality within the board which motivates you to get your project tasks or tickets done so you can interact with the board.

Intuitive task list view which will let you efficiently and effectively see your workload in a slick, productive list - Again, gives you that ability to really focus in on what's going on.

There will be some project specific settings in terms of if it's a personal or team project which will be highly beneficial.

I know trello has customisations in there as well but Simple Board will provide this in a configuration / settings page which you control completely from here, again, separating this cluttering functionality from the actual board itself, allowing you to really focus in.

A lot more I could say at this stage and a lot more that will most likely be added as I develop.

They didn’t just preserve Greek and Roman knowledge. Averroes, Avicenna, the Mutazilites, al-Razi, Maimonides, al-Farabi and others made enormous and original contributions to philosophy, medicine, chemistry and other fields. The Renaissance and the Enlightenment would have been unrecognizably different without the contributions of the thinkers of the Islamic world.

That doesn't excuse the contradictions. One can't expect a new system to be planned out and solve every problem. Anarchism seems to offer a methodology for moving towards a fairer and just society which removes the contradictions inherent in a system of concentrated power.

>"we have no idea how long it will take"

IMO, this is a reasonable position to take. However, we have to accept that even if a universal QC is possible, "how long" could conceivably be centuries.

Our perspective with regard to technology has been significantly biased by our experience with Moore's Law/Dennard Scaling. The speed of progress in ICs from 1960 to 2010 (and especially 1980-2000) is an outlier in the history of science and technology, yet we base expectations in everything from AI to QC on it.
TL;DR

Greta: "Don't shit where you eat"

Twitter: "Someone should kill this left-wing scum"
Good faith is important - but how about the communist agents from the past? They did believe in their cause after all. And I think the Chinese also believe that their system is better than the western democracy.
If that's so, couldn't the right instead find some acceptable ways to handle it (without increasing taxes), instead of sweeping it under the rug?
Even if, this example is so much over the top, you could call it totally obvious and extremely emotional politics.
> Also notice how it is almost always okay for "women" to be discouraged and counted as collateral damage.

Quote one person in this thread who said that it wouldn't be ok if it affected men instead. Or just one person implying that.

You're assuming a lot here. If anything, I think it's likely less people would care if a bunch of men were alienated, since there's already so many of them in the field in the first palce.
Your posts actually seem like the sort of perversion that ads have inflicted on our relationship with content and how they've trained us to value content at $0.

I don't really understand how waiting around and hoping for someone to make something out of hobby or charity is a reasonable stance when content brings me a non-zero amount of value and entertainment, when I can pay for it and get better results. Life is too short to sit and pray that someone else will feel like doing something for free that will happen to benefit me.

The idea seems a bit juvenile. Or as if we're all such simpletons that anything will please us all the same, it doesn't matter, so just wait for the next free shit.

I don't even understand how this idea survives concrete examples. If I happen to enjoy someone's free hobby content, then I directly benefit from their ability to make a living producing that content.
> using `func` to declare pure functions and `proc` for others

What's the limit used by Nim in its definition of a “pure function”? Is function that allocate memory considered a impure one? (technically it is, but it really reduces the usefulness of such keyword if it's too restrictive, that why Rust don't have it for instance).
They should focus their efforts on Nuclear. That's the only viable option for green energy production that can power their massive industry and 1.3 billion population.
Proofreading Tips
The binary sizes that Nim produces are as usual misrepresented. D and C will blow it out of the water. Here's some D code:

import core.stdc.stdio;

extern(C) void main()
{
printf("Hello, World!\n");
}

Compile with:

$ dmd -betterC main.d
$ ls -h main

I wish it was restricted to just Twitter or the usual suspects. Have you looked at the grey comments in this thread?

The amount of defeatism, unfounded scepticism, denial, and just pure and nasty ad hominem attacks is sickening.

The one potentially positive thing to note may be that denial and anger often come before acceptance. Eventually.
That's what I was thinking ... "I don't care that (you/your wife/you child) is dying, call back when you can keep a civil tongue in your head."
1) List your priorities.
2) Take top most priority - do whatever is possible.
3) When nothing more is possible to be done for top priority, go back to 1.
In my experience even HN has had bad faith and low-substance discussion about certain topics like the recent Stallman ousting and tech employees claiming discrimination. They tend to be filled with people who make claims without understanding the context of events, then deny any provided context as illegitimate and continue on repeating their position.

In case you don't know what was illegal (actually unlawful) here, it was the fact that he had a hidden agenda (to stifle debate).

Proroguing parliament is not unlawful, but using it as a tool to stop parliament exerting it's right - and then pretending it is for a different reason, is unlawful (the Supreme Court has decided)

EDITED- removed: "that his reasoning by which he asked the Queen to close parliament was not truthful or honest" as this is not correct. The only unlawful bit was that he wanted to stifle debate: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-49810261 - "The decision to advise Her Majesty to prorogue Parliament was unlawful because it had the effect of frustrating or preventing the ability of Parliament to carry out its constitutional functions without reasonable justification."

I don't remember many young video creators before Youtube.

You know what Youtube runs on, right? It's not just the creators who get money from ads.
Not that long ago. When I was in university in 1996 there were almost no ads. When I left university in 1999 there were a lot more. The quality of content didn't really increase in that time.

Right now there are youtube channels that don't monetize, and have good content. There are soundcloud profiles, blogs and short stories that have no ads.

Most of the advertised internet is garbage, but it's also by far the most popular, due to the ads.

Advertising skews people's views of worthiness, and makes a mockery of honest recommendations. That's literally what it was invented to do!
Native ad reads can be fun and deceptive. Linus Tech Tips WAN Show has the courtesy of including timestamps that allows you to skip past ads or at minimum, identify which segments are clearly delineated as ads. I don't suppose most content producers will volunteer that information and have it marked on the seekbar or some other clear UI element to indicate when advertisement is playing. Isn't that a legal requirement for videos even on youtube? Podcast gets away with it by dumping a sponsorship disclaimer in the show info metadata.

The point scoring system gets things completely backwards.

The problem with conspiracy theories is that they take generic possibilities, which often have been true at at least one point or another, and apply it to a specific situation with no evidence.

So, for example, it gives a point for “spread of diseases is deliberate, concealed effort, by some government”, and uses 2 historically known instances (I’m not sure how “concealed” these efforts are, but for the sake of argument let’s assume they’re valid), to give an entire point for the theory itself. However, the problem is there is no conspiracy theorist going around saying the thing in general, and if they are, they are met with a resounding “yes, that has definitely happened”. The problem is that conspiracy theorists were saying that this was true of Aids, or vaccines, and there is no evidence to believe either these (or the variety of other similar conspiracy theories) were true.

Yet, the scoring system here gives that theory a full point.

The problem with many conspiracy theories are that they take known conspiracies, and imply that because there was a conspiracy, that means everything similar is a conspiracy. And this scoring system rewards that fully.
Music to my ears. It is always breathtaking to see the number of people who cling to the religion of ad-supported content as _the only way forward_.

Bad UX as a business model? It can't go away soon enough.
An interesting thing I've noticed is that a lot of the younger generations in Estonia use English a lot when expressing themselves, especially when talking to their peers. I constantly hear everything from single English words in sentences, to fully English sentences used in-between Estonian ones.

I'm sure this is something that's happening everywhere (because of things like Hollywood and most of the internet being in English), but with the population in Estonia decreasing anyway, I wonder if this is an indication that the Estonian language will be dying out relatively soon.

People keep asking, "But what should I do?"

There are innumerable resources with what to do. The first page of a search shows over 100 https://duckduckgo.com/?q=tips+environment&atb=v173-1&ia=web.

The sooner everyone starts doing all of them, the sooner we'll reach sustainability. There will be problems along the way. It's also the fastest, most efficient way to motivate governments, corporations, churches, and other institutions to act.

We have to get into our heads and hearts: "Everyone do everything."
To each their own. I don't have much to follow, so I go to explore tab to see what Twitter suggest (pretty like this feature). I've noticed two opposing categories now, occasionally picking up same issue.

Group 1: Stock traders - example opinion "Greta is groomed by some sick fuck, no child should act like that".

Group 2: Software developers - mostly never about software; example opinion - a bit like OP.

So the toxicity I'm trying to avoid - anything about US politics, US news, guns, environment(when there's no tech discussed) gender or race.

Hey there! I am sorry for what you have been through so far. Since I am to go soon, I will keep it short:

1) I heavily suggest going into counceling. The change of behaviour and self concept needed might be too much to manage on your own.

2) It is a unfortunate, but well-researched phenomenon that perpetuators go for a certain type of personality that expresses itself by way of talking an non-verbal communication. There is also such a thing as bad, bad luck, but social dynamics also play a role. This is an area where you can likely improve aswell: Recognizing your feelings, others feeling and actions, and what is okay and not okay for you,

Gotta go now, all the best tho! Your problems seem treatable to me, but it might take time. You can do this.

All you have to do is run a script from the pi-hole website to install. It’s very effortless. Like.. literally effortless. If you’re posting here, I guarantee you could do it in no time.

As a counterpoint, I am well aware of the reality of the climate emergency but I still believe Greta is being abused for PR reasons.

That content is still there, with no ads. You can limit yourself to academic institution websites if you want.
None, but the people who skip the ads manually now are not going to buy the ad's product if they can't skip the ad. They were non-buyers in either case.

Ad skippers are generally a different type of person who won't be convinced to buy something just because they were forced to listen to it. They will however buy something on their own terms and some of them also like to show support for the things they listen to or watch by donating directly to the content provider (I do this a lot with music).
I'll answer that. Exactly once more.
