And that is precisely the problem - not that the Government or other explicit power structure is stepping on him, but that it's becoming fashionable for individuals to refuse to associate with anyone who has said or done anything they don't like, regardless of how much good they have done or how nice and helpful they have been otherwise.

Political changes tend to follow behind cultural changes here. If this cultural change has legs, then I have to wonder how long it will be before the Government does start acting more directly against anyone who has views outside of the mainstream. Social Credit score, anyone?
Stallman is the least hypocritical person I've ever seen. So, that's not happening unless he changes his mind about something he said.

Even if he changes his mind about some subjective things, he will keep saying other things that are objectively true but people don't want to accept.
"if a critical mass of the people you need to work with at your project refuse to do so, it doesn't so much matter how you're "handling" the project"

If a critical mass of people refuse to work with you, that is itself a mishandling of the project. Getting people to work with you is one of the most important responsibilities of a leader.

The modulus of elasticity of aluminum does not change with cycling (or basically with anything else but big temperature differences).

Fatigue is a damage accumulation process, that does not show in the most obvious properties, like modulus or strength.

The aviation regulations changed a long time ago from requiring to avoid cracks to requiring to have structures that can operate with cracks long enough to for them to be detected, as is exactly the case here. Of course nobody design planes to crack, but the regulations reflect the realization that completely avoiding cracks is impossible ...

I like Common Projects sneakers. They're expensive, but the quality is good. I used to go through lots of pairs of Vans or Converse, but I've had a pair of the Achilles Low for a few years and they're still in good shape even with a lot of wear. The soles are durable. They are also very plain/minimal looking so I can wear them for casual walking around or even instead of a dress shoe sometimes.

This looks very different from LiveView. In particular, as explained in Livewire's documentation on state management [1], state is either stored in a back-end service like Redis, or re-sent to the server with each request, depending on the type of property. And according to the home page, Ajax requests are used. With LiveView, a persistent WebSocket connection is used, and state is stored in memory in an Erlang process.

This is true. Some reasons why sh hasn't been replaced by LISP (for example) as the default Unix shell is because:

- it was there first

- grep awk etc are heavily optimized and faster than their equivalents in most languages

- the primary job of a shell is to run other programs, not to be the program. Scripting languages don't generally let you run a program just by typing the name and hitting enter.

All that being said, you can set your login shell to be whatever you want in /etc/passwd, and you're free to login to your REPL of choice instead of sh if that's what you really want.

So you think a critical mass of people who actually work with Stallman in the FSF and Gnu did some secret ballots then discussed this with him their shared decision or you think a critical mass stopped showing up at work (is that online?) each independently?

I think people who have come into professional contact with Stallman have had these problems for a very long time, and Stallman's extraordinarily ill-advised comments about Minsky and Epstein crystalized them.
If it is a company that cannot bootstrap itself, they know people who know people (in order to raise money). Otherwise, they have actual skills related to the business (because it is bootstrapped and one has to assume that an "executive" actually has their boots on the ground).

There are a variety of ways that age of something can be measured with two common examples in everyday life being people and cars commonly measured in years and kms/miles respectively. The metric chosen is one that adds value for understanding the impact.

Aeroplanes and their components do have a lot of different ways of having their ages measured, depending upon what one cares about. Engines are a good example of something where the hours spent running is usually the most salient.

For fusalages, as we're talking about here, pressurisation cycles is actually very important in pressurised airframes. This is because it is the main source of material fatigue which is a major cause of issues - usually in the form of cracks. This was discovered the hard way with the de Havilland Comet[0].

Smaller non-pressurised planes are normally measured in total flight hours, but the effect of repeatedly pressuring and depressuring is so great that it's the biggest factor that will affect the life of the bigger airframes.

I have a Reface DX, and it's my most favorite keyboard of all time.

Frist, it is a DX. While the architecture is not identical to the DX7, it is a 4-OP FM synth with feedback on each operator, which gives it a huge tonal range.

Second, the UI is great. And yes, there are 4 realtime controls that make it easy to change the timbre of the sound as you play it.

But the most important part is its compact size and built-in speakers. I've brought the Reface DX to campfires, into the desert, on an airplane, to the top of a mountain, on hikes, to the beach, to the office. I jammed with strangers in the streets of Madrid. With me, I bring cheesy 80s music (FM was all the rage back then), jazz (the e-piano sound on the DX just cuts it), and whatever else I want.
Of course I don't have a number or source either, but it's not really that common to have such low resolution camera even for surveillance any more. At least not in China.

I suspect you were intending this to be obvious hyperbole, but also this will be very difficult if you’re flying at all regularly. While you can have a look at the equipment the airline thinks it’ll be flying at booking time, there’s no guarantees about which plane will actually show up, and the airline isn’t going to refund your ticket because they decided to swap out their A350 for their 787 for operational reasons.

> and even if you add pipes to your Python/Lisp project the ecosystem doesn't follow the idiom.

That isn't quite true. While, yes, a pipe operator would probably be something new that you add to the language, Scheme which Racket originally comes from, actually comes with first-class pipe support.

Scheme makes use of a concept called ports, quite extensively. You can turn files, sockets, string, etc. into ports. Ports are most definitely idiomatic Scheme.

Racket extends ports with this:

(make-pipe [limit input-name output-name])

Which works to transfer data from one port to another in basically the same way the pipe operator works at the shell level.

To make it work the way people are more used to, you might also combine it with the infix library.

So if you wanted to create a pipe operator for some reason, everything you need is already there, it'd just by syntax sugar.
And with Matrix apps you can choose to run your own server. Not sure what legal ramifications that has, but practically speaking it allows the possibility of eliminating another potential weakness.
I really don't see anything "precise" in the way you've connected the dots from "people exercising their right not to associate with others whose behavior offends them" to "the Government is going to enact a social credit score".

> I think people around the world have been ingesting microplastic for 30 years or longer, yet there's no reported case of any direct toxic effects. So I guess microplastic doesn't have immediately effects on health

bash, gcc, coreutils, make, ...

For GCC, less Stallman influence, if it happens as a result of this, might have some consequences. E.g. there was some discussions about (not) having features giving deeper insight into internals some years ago, which are helpful to e.g. make code inspection tools, but also could be used to feed a non-GPL codegen backend.

Many "GNU" projects are really run independently though, with little influence.

He didn't say how they were sold - dealers - mail order, etc, or how they were marketed.

> Reflecting on her behavior as an adult, it was apparent that I was just a problem for her

Really, that's the issue with school in a nut-shell. Just like I want to walk into work Monday morning and have a routine day, so do teachers and administrators.

This technological issue just appears to be another symptom of a sick system, one that favors ease of life for administrators and teachers, that and hitting test metrics than for a good, quality education for children.

We've seen it before, zero-tolerance. Church it up, "it's about holding everyone to the same standard," avoiding bias, etc. Well, it's bullshit. The reality is everyone teacher and administrator exercises some degree of prosecutorial discretion, completely invalidating any claim of their lack of tolerance, but on that occasion they throw the book at you they just say "Zero-Tolerance" and that's that.

We build and buy systems that favor ease of use, but not good outcomes and there is simply no accountability for good outcome.

I've wrestled with (and mostly fought against) single metrics of quality for most of my career, though being able to articulate what the problems are has only come to me relatively recently.

Quality is ultimately suitedness to task, and tasks vary. The more specialised a task, the narrower the quality component parameters, much of which may come from disabling rather than enabling characteristics. Anna Karenina / rocket-science principle: there are many ways to get a complex thing wrong, generally only one narrow path to getting them right.

The breadth of evolutionary adaptations displayed by life on Earth, or even within the narrower scope of Olympic athlete body morphology, is an instructive lesson. None is globally "better", each is adapted (or selected) to purpose or goal.

I tend to do most of my music composition in the box nowadays, so there's much less jamming for me and more noodling around on a keyboard until I come up with an idea (if that), and then developing the rest of the idea fully in the sequencer. But even so, it might be nice to play around with and be able to take places without having to worry about or deal with a computer -- just having the immediacy of the machine and nothing else seems nice.

The main question I think about is whether I want to grab it or one of the volcas. When it comes to live jamming, it's likely that a groovebox is closer to my cup of tea.
It's not just that you need "strong AI" that can function in social situations, it's that you are frequently centimeters and milliseconds from disaster if that AI makes the wrong decision, unlike, say, a flying drone.
This code is mostly just testing the regex engine?
Yes the data linked is limited in scope.
The top reply says "Don't underestimate PHP when regexes are involved." and linked a benchmark [1].

But in that benchmark apparently Rust is faster than PHP (The slowest "Rust #2" is 2.45 sec. while PHP is 2.80 sec. He also mentioned "PCRE", but the ones with Perl in name are even much more slower [the fastest being 14.95 sec.]).

Did I miss his point by linking that benchmark, or did I interpret the benchmark wrong?

Because of the Principle of Explosion, a contradiction implies any statement. So for people who don't think that everything is meaningless there can't be any true contradictions. This means that in fact every paradox falls into the second class. Paradoxes merely differ in how difficult it is to see the logical flaw that leads to the apparent contradiction.
Most people would not refer to the incident at Palomares as a "nuke detonation," since there was no nuclear detonation. No fissile reaction etc, just conventional explosives that are part of the weapons trigger. To call it a "nuke detonation" is disingenuous.

If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and take the spirit of the site more to heart, we'd appreciate it.
This is a little silly. The two programs are so simple that it's probably just testing the speed of the regex engines used by the two languages. Since PHP uses PCRE (a C library that has been around for quite a long time), you'd expect it to be fast. I'm impressed that marshaling back and forth across the FFI boundary isn't causing more slowness, but perhaps it is, and the real issue is that rust's regex engine is just painfully slow.

The only way to know for sure would be to profile each bit to see what dominates: the file I/O? The regex matching? The FFI? The printing to stdout?

Also, looks like there is a rust wrapper for PCRE[0]; might be interesting to try it to get a more apples-to-apples comparison.

It is pretty easy to come up with an integer space in order to simulate week days, the concept of consecutiveness and homogeneous distribution.

However, as soon as we get custom rules and exceptions things start to become impossible and we have to start inventing a best effort solution which turns into minimization or maximization of each human variable.

At this point some humans with higher status want to be favoured and you get a tug of war instead of an sat solver problem where nothing you suggest pleases anyone because they have a life and can't afford to tell you every little detail that interests them and they go back to manually picking their dates.

Besides which, you're dodging my point.
I’ve always thought that one of the most important parts of the human experience is the freedom of forgetting, at least on a personal level. To forget things is a gift in many cases. To forget hurt, embarrassment, or feelings of negativity in general. But this article makes me wonder how that belief works in a broader context, like in a culture, or country. Is it right to also forget things like periods of historical violence? Is it right to gradually lose our memories of symbols once associated with hate? Maybe 80 years is too short a period of time to forget these things (like the swastika’s association with The Third Reich), but I’m sure as a species we’ve forgotten similar symbology from thousands of years ago, or hundreds. Should we try to make that our goal?

Im not sure, I’m just riffing while bored on my phone, but it also makes me wonder if there are clear examples of symbols of evil being retrofitted to be symbols of good, or at least neutral standing. It always seems to be that we try to erase these symbols, but never pull them out of the depths of immorality.

> and the plane is almost double mine

I assume you're talking about lifespan? The B-52 may have been in the air for a long time (though only 15 years longer than the 737), but it has also been flying in much smaller quantities; there have only ever been ~750 B-52s built, while there have been over 10K 737s built. And in addition, a commercial airliner is usually in the air for a much higher percentage of its lifespan than any military airplane.

So for example, the 737-600/700/800/900 series has had 9 accidents (6 full-loss equivalents)... over 100 million flights.

http://www.airsafe.com/events/models/rate_mod.htm

Accident rate info for the B-52 is harder to come by, especially since a lot of the "accidents" are complications from battle damage in Vietnam, but I'm seeing 10 peacetime full-loss incidents just among those that have their own Wikipedia pages:
