Wait so you think neolithic tribal people didn't live in rural areas? As in, you think they lived in cities?

I feel I need to cover the first point because it's so bonkers there's not much point going into the rest, which seem equally insane and/or reflexively contrarian.

I think you're picking nits and playing word games and pretending disagreement when there is none (i.e. only music you make yourself is what indigenous music is, when I say no travel I obviously mean in the modern sense; not in that you literally can't walk some distance, etc).

But in the end you're attacking all this because you're dedicated to a view of tribal life as pure and uncorrupted by modernity. This links to a secular-religious far left concept that human life is naturally free, full, rich, clean, and equal, and all bad things are caused by society. You can't even accept that there are bad aspects to it - it's the natural nirvana that's been lost. And you're dedicated to believing that heaven is possible because it fills a hole in your soul. You'd do better beliving in a religious heaven instead of a prehistoric one - both are nonsense but the religious version at least doesn't demand so many absurd beliefs about physical facts. In the end people like you do a lot of harm because you actually resist and attempt to reverse the advances that save people from their dismal, short lives without modern civilization. God forbid our society is ever taken over by a faction who believe that our society is the root of all evil.

Yes. To quote William Arkle,

'Purity is not goodness, it is having clear and undistorted communication with all our levels of experience.'

'The teaching of purity and simplicity is therefore not an attempt to narrow down our life and experience, it is not a type of punishment, it does not invalidate our individuality neither does it bring special dispensations with it from God. It is nothing more or less than what is understood in scientific terms as a law of condition of nature which we must accept and work with because it is not within our ability to change. To be pure is not to be in fear of making mistakes which will make God angry with us and thus punish us. It is rather to eradicate from our attitudes the hesitations and suspicions which prevent us acting and experiencing with intensity and conviction.'

https://williamarkle.blogspot.com/2019/06/a-geography-of-con...

It isn't necessary to be formally religious to understand that the object of purity is to make the varying intensity of one's responses be truly integrated with the situations that one encounters, whether one is being attacked by a lion, at risk of ostracism, receiving good news, celebrating a birthday, etc.

You just need to set some examples. I'd pick a few violators and apply some reallyt painful fines with lots of publicity.

Other actors realize that noncompliance is more expensive (when multiplied by the risk of being caught) than compliance. Done.

No need to process thousands of violations. All that's needed is a few dozen with lots of publicity.

Is correcting for body size correct? If it takes X mass of brain to run the human body, than the larger brain has more cells free to do something other than run the body. Or in other words, how much of a larger brain is required to run a larger body - if the scale isn't linear then I'd expect the larger brain to be "smarter"

As the other posters have said, size doesn't seem to correlate to anything. More than that I don't know.

I'm still waiting for the content. I had the free subscription, and it was dismal, certainly for someone who doesn't like Marvel. Producing a few chapters of a Star Wars spinoff or another "Beyond Infinity Avengers War Universe" isn't going to bind many people.

Their streaming isn't great either. The two times we watched a movie, playback was regularly interrupted, one of which proved impossible to continue that same evening. And no, that never happens when watching Netflix.

So according to the article (the paper isn't linked anywhere, so I have to rely on the reporting), the study found that men and women are using the same parts of brain when they do math. That's a completely unsurprising result. Was anyone ever claiming that it is not the case?

However, I don't understand how the brain activity patterns can prove (or disprove) that women and men have 100% equal ability to do math. I just don't see the connection between those two things.
more like mismanages, based on performance of their investments.
We've already had rule-driven frameworks: three strikes and mandatory minimums, the latter of which resulted in huge sentences for non-violent drug offenses – particularly those involving crack, a drug more prevalent in black communities, and for which the threshold to trigger a mandatory sentence was 1/100th that of powder cocaine: https://www.aclu.org/other/cracks-system-20-years-unjust-fed...

I’m thinking with access to the git repo as well as the relevant package manager you could get pretty close.

Good way to illustrate upgrade requirements to a product owner.
I’ve seen this happen especially with Lottie. And what basically happens here is the actual drawing isn’t actually handled by react-native since the library is itself a native view to either platform. Therefore, react-native has no idea it’s wasting any resources because it’s not technically “in charge” of what exactly the native view itself is doing. It certain scenarios where it might be “covered up”, such as all JavaScript based views (which are essentially just UIViews in iOS) then iOS itself also doesn’t know to stop this animation either (view compositing is quite popular).

However, if using something like native navigation, where view controllers and their life cycle get handled by iOS then it will correctly end an animation.

I have no idea if this is true for Android. But I have witnessed it on iOS and fixed this issue in react-native apps on quite a few occasions.

The ultimate downside to frameworks like this is they imo, don’t know enough about the content they’re showing to make great choices for users. But at the same time, it’s not fully desirable to attempt to assume. That’s the platforms job. And that’s an obvious catch-22. How should you know this if you aren’t a native app builder?
It's good to see that they care a lot about TTI and put work into optimisation, but the desktop app needs the same love. My Windows PC boots to the desktop in less time than it takes for Discord to then start up. I'm unclear what it's doing - checking for updates?

This is about my only gripe with Discord though, it's a great service.
Agreed, I switched to Flutter from React Native. Although I don't particularly like Dart lang, everything just works way better on Flutter.
But how can this possibly be true in general? As an example, just imagine I want to check that a string represents a list of space-delimited integers, where each one is also less than 10 digits. It's far more trivial to verify that than to actually parse the integers. And by performing the verification pass separately before the parsing pass, I can reject invalid inputs early, leading to much faster rejections than if I parse them as I validate them. The only way I can see there being zero cost difference is if everything is implicitly lazy, such that at runtime the verification won't even happen until the parsing needs to be performed too. Right?
how did the java interop work for you ? I used to work in a company that used that approach with gomobile (golang) , and frankly the dark magic required to have a decent java API to the shared library made me want to not touch that with a ten foot pole.

I believe it was due to JNI but my memories may be wrong.

No, that's just average life expectancy but that is driven down by a large infant mortality. In practice anybody who survived their infancy would pretty much live to 60 and beyond. Complete manipulation of the data, as usual.
Best is reading the originals directly. As I recall the bible is written in 5 languages, so learn those 5 to fluency and read that. Since most of us don't have the time to learn 5 languages well enough to understand subtle details we rely on translations.

That's a fair question. I'm given to understand that brain size doesn't directly scale with intelligence (consider sperm whale vs dolphin vs human), but for all I know that's only true between species? Actually now that I'm thinking about it, I'm pretty sure there are pathologies where the brain is too big, but one shouldn't conclude much on pathological cases. So.... I dunno. Maybe?

CI doesn't have to be 0. That's total nonsense. You think if you eat one grape per day suddenly you won't lose weight, or something? Who said anything about 0?

CI-CO is accurate if CI<CO. There is absolutely no way it cannot be. This doesn't depend on any kind of reasoning about biology or insulin or hormones at all. It's the law of conservation of energy.

That's the beauty of it. It always works. If CO<CI, you will lose weight. There has never been an exception to this in the history of life, and there never will be.

Even fasting, which you mentioned, only works as a means to an end. And that end is CI<CO. Research shows that the actual timing of fasts is irrelevant; the same calories eaten in 6 hours per day have the same effect if eaten over 16 hours of the day. But when people fast they tend to eat less overall; it's all that matters.

So many people try to follow your path, and figure out a way to manipulate complex metabolic systems they don't understand to try to wheedle the body into dropping pounds. It works only rarity, and 98% of people on this path are just deluding themselves to avoid facing the fact that they need to get CI down under CO. So they take refuge in complexity, endlessly finding ways to rationalize away the need to do the actual work.
Spotify and Apple Music seem to have killed off lots of music piracy, no need to, everything is on there. Music piracy is much easier than movie piracy due to size and availability, yet most people who used to pirate music are now on these services. They have made it easy enough.

TV and movies haven't figured that out yet and the rights warfare is very intense. People just want to see the content they want to see easily when they want it, they will pay for that gladly. There is almost a PTSD about what movies/shows are available, not, when they will go away, etc. I like to own movies and shows to always have them.

Streaming catalogs are all incomplete except Netflix, a bunch of parts to a collector that is madness. Another annoyance is even if you buy streaming access you might not get the show you expect, for instance CBS All-Access doesn't have a CBS show Everybody Loves Raymond. Streaming movies/shows is a patchwork of minefields that requires research in times of leisure. Noone wants to go hunting down the show they want to watch right now and should be available across the 5 streaming services + live TV they use, but it half the time is not there. You have to search and find which platform it is on currently if at all.

Side note, I buy tons on iTunes because I can still download the movies. Though the content protection is also problematic for customers that bought it, just an annoyance that they shouldn't put on content. Netflix is allowing this now as well, same DRM trap though. The quality of streaming still sucks especially on desktop/PC where browsers are limited to 720p. 1080p/4k is what people want and streaming is going to get extorted more and more by ISPs when they start pushing more 1080p/4k.

I've never met a person—"serious" or not—that didn't harbor some sort of unconscious bias. The difference has always been how they acknowledge and work to counteract such bias.
They actually publish a few like that now (an ESV version included actually I think). It’s my favorite way to read it.
Many reasons:

* It's much faster than malloc/free. a fragmented free is much much slower than a full stop-the-world major GC, and GC allocation is zero cost.

* it makes your program memory safe, memory safety is too hard to be left to the user.

* it makes your program run faster with a compacting collector (but not this trivial one). it does defragmentation, and puts together used arrays/strings, so that they often are on the same cache-line. typically 2x faster.
So how many major studios do you feel are appropriate? Once again, despite the opinions of HN, the definition of a monopoly is not “a company does something I don’t like”.

As I said previously, there is nothing stopping anyone from distributing content via a multitude of channels.

It's better to assume all code could throw an error. No statement is safe. This becomes particularly important in distributed computing as resources may be offline at any given moment. It's from this perspective that type systems afford a false sense of security and appear to be scratching the itches of overactive Type As.

I recently [0] updated my Control Flow Graph representation in a Typescript parser for AVM1 bytecode because I had the exact same issue as in the article. I previously represented my graph as an array of blocks. But a graph always has at least one block (the entry point). The old representation forced me to check for the empty case despite knowing that valid graphs always have at least one block.

Here is the old representation:

export interface Cfg {
blocks: CfgBlock[];
}

And here is the new one:

export interface Cfg {
head: CfgBlock;
tail: CfgBlock[];
}

Switching to this new representation allowed to then simplify code manipulating this graph. This representation is also simple enough that most schema validators can represent it.

You still have to note that with this representation you no longer have a single array. It's not an issue in my case but your situation may vary. You may try the tuple-based solution mentioned in a sibling comment if you need to have a single array.

How Google Edged Out Rivals and Built World’s Dominant Ad Machine:A Visual Guide
I have to agree with you there: It's the name of a locality, nothing more. I'm German, but wouldn't expect anyone to refer to Germany as Deutschland; and Köln is called Cologne in English, no idea why that would be bad. Don't get me starterd on Trier, which once went by Augusta Treverorum...

If the country renames itself, they're free to do that. But if the international name will probably stay the same for a long while, one has to live with that, or start some campaign to make the altered name better known (mind, the intentionally used name will eventually converge with the self-choosen name).
It’s theoretically bad because you’re theoretically wasting your time and resources. In practice that doesn’t have to be true. But I merged two teams together via react-native in hopes to make them more productive and it absolutely worked.

Android is no longer a laggard with features, which was also a big goal of ours.

That said, if I were to go back and time and know how much of my own time would be spent fixing bugs in react-native just to keep the team productive, I might have made a different choice.

Edit: should also be known that I’m no longer helping with fixing RN bugs, and the team still messages me on occasion to ask questions or for help to fix things. This was absolutely not the position I was trying to leave that team in.

Edit edit: my leaving the team wasn’t within my control and management didn’t realize the level of work to Keep the Lights On nor did the particularly care.
Just came from trying Ionic, it now has ehmmm vanilla Cordova, Ionic Cordova and then there's Capacitor. They're all sort of compatible in terms of commands and application structure so it's pretty easy to screw stuff up if you end up in the wrong docs. At other moments you really do need to dip into vanilla Cordova using Ionic or Capacitor.
Apple does similar.

However Apple is greatly responsible for HTML5 and browsers today, as well as the handheld gaming revolution on mobile.

Webkit, Canvas, SVG, OpenGL ES + WebGL (through Khronos sponsorship) and more were open sourced or pushed by Apple.

Chrome/Safari basically every browser that is good came from Webkit and Apple opening that up. Granted that originally game from KHTML and KJS libraries from KDE but it exploded with Apple support.

I left them out because they still have some grace left.

Google and Microsoft squash standards and Microsoft is famous for "embrace, extend, extinguish" which Google now employs.

Microsoft has been better recently but only because they lost developers during the Ballmer era and they have a desktop monopoly and their new OS is cloud where they are competitive with Azure so they are pushing standards more and cross platform to win back developers.

Google is entering their Ballmer era currently.

Apple doesn't have the power for that yet with developers, though they are not engineer/open focused typically and especially now in the COO era and have their own Ballmer vibe currently, but they are still riding on some fuel from Webkit, Canvas, SVG, HTML5, OpenGL ES + WebGL support which really helped handheld gaming and web gaming.
You make good points, but they would be better delivered without the mild personal attacks.
My hardest bug ever was the following:

A weapon's camera tracked the simulated target perfectly, but there were occasional hiccups, where the camera jumped randomly.

The camera rotation data were confirmed, through Wireshark, to be valid, except for very specific values.

It turned out to be the following problem: a function that converted the endianess of float32 values returned the endianess-switched value as a result, rather than change the destination buffer directly.

Somewhere in the process, the x86 hardware expanded the switched float value to 80 bits, stored it in the internal FPU stack, and then this value was retrieved from the stack as a float32 and send over the network.

In some cases, this conversion altered the value in such a way that the camera jumps were not frequent.

The code that did this conversion was deep into a library that has been given to us and that it was widely used in the contractor's company for all Simulation needs.

The problem got away when I replaced the PDU handling with custom code which switched endianess of floats in an appropriate manner (i.e. directly to the destination buffer).

The problem most probably was created because the 'standard' functions for integer endianess swap have the form

long ntohl(long v);
short ntohs(short v);

and the author of the library thought that following:

float ntohf(float f);

was going to be the same as the above.

You can say that about absolutely anything, therefore by itself it's meaningless.
Ghost of Departed proofs provides a fairly trivial way to generate proofs from arbitrary code and track them in the type system. See this article for example: https://ocharles.org.uk/blog/posts/2019-08-09-who-authorized...

This post shows a simple "positive" assertions, without any combinatorial logic associated with the proofs. But this is similar to programming by contracts.
