- there aren't great ways for people to offer multiple items apart from making one listing with all the stuff (And having to update all the time)

- You have to do the whole "negotiate payment mechansim and shipping" thing every time. They could easily provide a sort of flow for when an agreement has happened

- On the buyer side you gotta basically just go in and delete your listing when it's done

There's an alternate universe in craigslist where you could somehow signal "I have a potential buyer" to put the thing in hold, and a single-button finalisation step when its done. Similarly, sellers could be able to register certain info to just plop it into a message.

I understand that the existing UX (mainly e-mail forwarding) makes this hard. But... well maybe they can change their UX

Which it inherited from C.
Not the same guy but for me, the regularity of the holes in the watch strap renders it safe. Something that appears more organic tends to trigger revulsion more strongly. The implication of lots of holes in skin is very difficult to look at, actual holes in an animals skin is the worst (there's a frog that pops babies directly out of holes on its back).
Assuming you can keep getting better is a bit of a fallacy too.

> Literally every school age and over human can do them at a basic level

This is the other side of the same coin. No. These "defining basic skills" aren't defining anything except if you're going to be a fascist who eradicates people that defy their beliefs about embodiment.

Understanding social expectations is tricky and lots of humans can't do this at all. They require lifetime care as a result, but they are still definitely human and there's no reason to believe they lack general intelligence although it may be stunted if their problems make it hard to undertake activities that let intelligence thrive.

Although human infants do try to bootstrap language, the bootstrap process will not spontaneously produce a working human language from zero in the absence of exposure to existing human language. Humans brought up without language (typically through extreme circumstances because doing this experimentally would be unethical) create a proto-language but not a full-blown human language. We _think_ that a few generations of humans otherwise unexposed to external culture would turn this into a full-blown human language through some mechanism akin to creolisation but we can't check because - as mentioned - it would be grossly unethical. So, there definitely are humans (though not many) who don't recognise and generate "everyday speech" even taking that very broadly to include sign and the procedure used to talk to deaf-blind people.

Elderly people also often cease to be able to generate speech, or give no sign they continue to understand it, while continuing to apparently be intelligent.
“ The scariest scenario in my opinion is their growing influence on the power of definition.”

I think the (hard)fork is legal under the MIT license, but IANAL, so I'm not sure they dotted all their i and crossed all their t. The possibility to fork and change the license is a standard point in the old discussion of GPL vs MIT.

I feel part of that post is unnecessary, like:

> We cannot see a future for Zig where the founder does not allow corporate entities to use and support Zig, so in respecting Mr. Kelley's ideals, we felt forced to fork Zig.

I also don't like that they use their own license "ConnectFree Reference Source License (CF-RSL)". (I can't find a copy of it.) If the idea is to make a corporate friendly fork, why not stick to a standard license? Corporate lawyers hate weird licenses because they have to read them and be sure there are not weird hidden clauses there. To make a corporate friendly fork, I suggest MIT.

Also, advanced mathematics degrees (i.e. Masters and above) have the same gender parity as computer science.

Not so fast. See https://www.aps.org/programs/education/statistics/fraction-p... to verify that the percentage is a bit under 30% for women in mathematics and around 20% for women in computer science.

Also note that the ratios graduating with a BSc and a PhD are very different. There are a lot of challenges around the PhD program that have kept women out. (Challenges like, "long time spent poor during prime child bearing years".)
Also, cats and cucumbers? Probably most domestic cats haven't been exposed to snakes or threatened by cucumbers.

I think Grauniad are using clumsy wording as "in the elegant hand of a scribe" can just as easily imply that was her Sunday best script in the style of a scribe, which degrades as she hurries. Which is how I took it. Auntie Beeb brings a tad more precision with:

"But the clinching argument was the handwriting. The translation was copied by one of her secretaries but it is covered in corrections and additions which match the queen's highly distinctive, indeed rather messy, hand."

So I was entirely wrong, and the Mail appear to be making stuff up, which is to be expected. :)

I really don't think this is 'American culture penetrating Turkish veins'. I mean, I'm sure there's plenty of American culture invading Europe and Asia all across the continent, but this isn't it. It's just a mass-market t-shirt that made its way to a young Turkish girl. These are sold en masse everywhere, including in used clothing stores.

The first thing is not to give up hope. The forest planting may not abate enough to remediate but it's still worth doing for associated reasons like its effect in microclimate and wildlife.

Biochar may not help much either but is still net beneficial and pyrolysis is going to be one of the paths to the feedstock we need for chemicals I would think. The absorbing concrete can be priced right and carbon taxing would drive there.

Deep sea storage, olivine and other rock formation, all useful.

Mainly, it's not giving up hope. Because giving up would be way, way worse.

Sometimes reading these realism write-ups is not very hope inducing. Even stoics don't always give up hope.

There is no better world. We have to try and make the best of all possible worlds here.

C with modern safety and productivity features is called "C++" and has been around for decades. I'm amazed at how much effort people will expend just to avoid the C++ boogeyman. No, writing C++ does not automatically make your code bloated. No, using C does not guarantee lean design.

Plain C ought to be considered a legacy language and not used for new code. There is zero reason to prefer it over whatever style of C++ you'd like. If you want procedural struct-based C++, you can have that, but gosh, don't write C.

This is my experience in Switzerland with generally polite population - set an exact price (without that 'firm' wording though), and we got like 10 generic questions what is our lowest price, or people offering 50% or below. Suffice to say the one reasonable person got that product.

This seems like inexperience on our side and naive expectation for more reasonable approach, but it really felt borderline rude.
Very exciting. Could you please elaborate on what technology stack you're planning to use? Language, frameworks, etc.

And how do you plan to achieve that? What will be running on a server side? Will it be headless or server-rendered?

I would argue that at this point, actually building Voltron might be more wortwhile.
Realistically, that game would be Steph Curry having ball all the time dancing around you while you dont touch ball except initially. It would also make Steph Curry score within 3 sec from gaining the ball.

Overall effect is that you do nothing. There is no strategy you can use or think about, no time to try trics with ball or even shoot or dribble.

One reason it is not fun is that the less good person don't actually get to be active in play - he will be effectively in much passive position and it wont even be challenge.
I don't think anyone replying to you understands how much the selling experience varies by what you're selling. If you're selling used tires or consumer electronics you are gonna wind up dealing with idiots 24/7 no matter which platform you choose because everyone is a potential buyer for those things.

If you're selling things that are only of use to a few people cost more than a grand, weigh more than a couple tons and don't move on their own you'll generally only deal with people who are serious about buying.

The reason reason is that antitrust is coming. Larry and Sergey are stepping out of the fire.
You can still do ads (and they have been done for decades) without SPAs. In fact SPAs would reduce the efficiency of the ad tracking as the ad JS is now competing for resources with the SPA JS.

> the time when a forest pulls down the most carbon is when it’s first growing

I believe this has been disproved long ago. Trees don’t ever stop growing, and it takes carbon to grow. Recent studies show that large old trees still capture a significant amount of co2 due to their massive surface area.

The government has many means tested requirements to determine if you really need it. Most charities only take action after the fact; after you are homeless, after you got severely ill. And they rely on a visual means test. They can feed the homeless on Thanksgiving but don’t have the resources for the other 364 days.
Weird. That command caused nslookup to hang and ctrl+c to not work. Closed entire iTerm session. Subsequent ones worked.

These are valid issues but I think they aren't a big deal. Every other platform I've seen that tries to be "smart" and offer these features ends up overdoing it and making it way too complicated & time consuming to post an ad for the first time.

CL in contrast is easy & understandable. You post an ad, post a price, and done. No "profile" or "account" to manage, etc.
How about the boy wearing Breaking Bad Tshirt in the other footage ? Is that also coincidence ?
Yes, but AFAIK all these archives have nothing to do with their primary source, so while we might all prefer no ads there is no objective way to say marc.info is the authorative source over ad ridden sources.

With Wikipedia or stack overflow, I think whoever gets the majority of participants going forward and keeps activity high could start claiming authority in an objective enough sense, and engaged participants are more mindful of organization ethics than random searchers.
I'd probably put a signaling system on it. Some large RTG using elements with a long half life and extremely redundant systems that send a weak signal towards earth, just over the background noise. Some regular signal ("DATA" as a morse code) that repeats from an unknown object orbiting mars?

I'd bet that any civilization would be flying there ASAP to see what it is about.

The crux is really making a simple radio transmitter that can survive that long but the parameters are very weak (ie, the frequency is allowed to shift so long as it remains somewhat in a region that can be received on earth's surface, it needs a very long last power source but doesn't need a lot of power, unidirectional transmission is fine as long as it arrives).
To be fair, some of that runaway spending does result in helpful features - perhaps enough to make it a net positive. Wikivoyage and especially Wikidata are highly successful sister projects that probably wouln't have happened on their own, or if WMF had simply "kept Wikipedia running and made small incremental changes over time".

PHP Is Dead – and Why That’s a Lie You Shouldn’t Fall For
Can anybody provide a good comparison e.g. with Meltano?

I am not affiliated with the Meltano people, but I like the idea of keeping the system modular, what seems to make it easier to replace components.

I have no doubt that we will see better replacements for every component of a data pipeline in the coming years. If there is only one thing to do right, then it´s to not bet on one tool but keep the whole stack flexible.

I am still missing well established standards for data formats, workflow definitions and project descriptions - hopefully open source ninjas will deliver on this front before proprietary pirats will destroy the field with progress-inhibiting closed things. It seems to be too late to create an "Autocad" or "Word" file format for datascience, but I see no clear winner atm, but hopefully my sight is bad - please enlighten me!

It isn't. Cloning is what actually happens under the hood, if a and a2 are in different memory locations. Making a inaccessible after the assignment is merely a convention. With a struct that only has data members, there are no further consequences.

If the struct contains a pointer, you need a kind of additional contract that says how the memory that is pointed to is going to be managed, particularly when it is going to be freed and by whom. And that is where move semantics establish a constricting convention that is intended to make that unambiguous.

Re: "I have heard just the opposite: that having a decade-length endowment is generally a sign of hording by the non-profit, and unlikely to be contributing to the mission."

That's only true of charities where there is no natural limit on how much they can spend. If you are feeding orphans you can always do more until every orphan is fed. The WMF isn't like that, They have one job; keep Wikipedia and the sister projects like Wictionary online. That doesn't require ever-increasing spending other than to cover actual increases in hosting expenses and essential employees.

Imagine a future Wikipedia that is 100% funded by the endowment, which will always be there even if nobody donates, and which has no fundraising banners, just a small "donate" link. I think that is a goal worth pursuing.

> So the icon saying Location Services are enabled would literally just be saying "yep, this phone is communicating to GPS satellites and calculating it's location". I don't know if that's actually how this works though.

What would be the point of showing that indicator then? GPS is a passive system; there's no communication happening, just reception. The interesting case is whenever someone tries to access the location data.
That's just a bit like saying when drug prices are so low it's ok to have a lot of overdoses, because, hey, people are taking advantage of those low drug prices.

If we entered a new era where such low interest rates are necessary for the "econony", great let's all accept this new fact.

However the interest rates were cut in 2008 so that elites could be bailed out, lest they default and drag everybody else and they were supposed to be brought back where they used to be; the central banks balance sheets were supposed to be brought back to where they were historically -- none of this has happened.

Nah, the interest rates being so low serve mostly the elites while propping up massive bubbles in financial markets, real-estate and big corporations too big to fail.
The central banks/states get to pick who is saved, involve themselves more and more in the economy and replace what should be regular market mechanisms and create huge systemic problems.

What's so wrong with savers receiving decent yields for their bank deposits?
Why should everybody all of a sudden use their savings to buy houses that they let?
Just so they can fuel the vicious bubble cycle of the de jour investment vehicle the elites have picked?
Why should central banks exchange money printed out of thin air with negative interest rates for ill performing bonds, locking in the profits of bond-holders?

The only answer is "because otherwise it will lead to cascading series of defaults that will bring down the economy" -- then the problem is the financialization of the economy and no actionable way of removing the bad apples from the basket, in which case we're allready in for a catastrophic failure of the current financial system when all the apples will go bad.
I don't see what there is to figure out about what we should do with the carbon we sequester from the atmosphere. It seems to me that the only thing we can do is dump it into the ground (maybe as plastic?). That's where the carbon we've put into the atmosphere came from, and that is exactly where we should put it back. Planting forests, using it as fuel, using it for plastic goods, putting it into the oceans are all temporary measures. The carbon from that will enter the cycle again rather quickly.

Of course this will be energy intensive. We essentially need to put the energy back into carbon that we got from burning those carbon fuels over the last two centuries. That is obviously a tremendous amount of energy. There probably is no way around this.

>we will probably need to be removing about 10 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide from the air each year by 2050, and double that by 2100.

>They’re hoping to use these gadgets to make carbonated water for soft drinks—or create greenhouses that have lots of carbon dioxide in the air, for tastier vegetables. This sounds very exciting … until you learn that currently their method of getting carbon dioxide costs about $500 per ton.

The numbers don't even look as bad as I thought they would. They at least seem achievable if we really wanted it. $500 per ton for 10 billion tons comes out at $5 trillion. The world's GDP is around $80 trillion. From a numbers perspective it seems like this is at least possible. Whether this solution will work politically is another matter though. My own suspicion is that politicking and corruption will make this a much more difficult and expensive process than it should be.

This article makes the future look less bleak to me than what I hear on the news.
Thank you for sharing these!
What part of Rust’s syntax do you think is a detriment vs C? A lot of it is very similar to C, but with ambiguity removed.

- Variable types are changed to avoid ambiguity in lexing.

- Loops and conditionals require {}, which means the parentheses can be dropped on the condition and there’s no ambiguity about nested if’s and else’s.

What would you like improved?
You realize that this is (almost) valid C99?

In C99 it looks like this:

struct Point {
int x;
int y;
};

struct Point new_point(int x, int y) {
return (struct Point) { .x = x, .y = y };
}
