Yes, all user-facing text should be Unicode, always. But ASCII has its use cases as well, as the parent comment mentioned in programming. I am natively non-ASCII compatible, but I am glad to program in ASCII and English. The only things that should not be English in written code are domain-specific terms that do not have an official unambiguous English translation. That's the only case to be made for non-ASCII characters in programming that I can think of, but I think romanization can take care of it with most languages.

Managed service (like S3) is different than managed infrastructure. EC2 VMs only run in a single zone too and require cost and complexity for more redundancy.

Building out your application across multiple regions in AWS is not much different than using multiple DCs from a managed host. The clouds provide live migration, spot instances, and fast global VPC networks that can make it much easier, but you also pay the premium for it.
Strings are not evil - user supplied input should be treated as evil.

Never mind flexbox, what generalized rule would yield 5+4+4+4 instead of 5+5+5+2?

Something like n rows have m items and the total number of items is (n * m) + 1. And you want the first (m+1)th item to be in row 1.

Yes, you’d be wasting your time with flexbox. You’d also be wasting your time complaining flexbox doesn’t support this.

To be clear, I don’t see a spec in any of the exceptions you’re carving, and you’re not providing one, just saying “flexbox can’t do this”.

You’re right. it can’t.

Well, yeah, there is that... I suppose one could argue that lacking an a-priori explanation for the way probability is allocated over state-space is equivalent to lacking an explanation for measurement, but that seems to me like claiming that we have no answer to how thermal emission of light works because we can't explain the measurement rule in QM, which I expect most physicists would balk at.

Yea, there is still work to be done at a lower level, and there are other competing explanations at this level, but that doesn't mean that we don't have an explanation at this level. "How does the Born Rule work?" is a lower-level question than "how does measurement work?"
Gun advocates should clear up confusion by lobbying for an amendment that redefines militia to encompass a wider age range.

Or we can acknowledge that passing constitutional amendments in the 21st century requires amount of political capital that it is no longer possible to attain in our system. Insisting that we interpret the status quo as favoring one's preferred ideology, and that one's ideological opponents must seek reform through an for-all-practical-purposes impossible mechanism is just a different way of expressing routine ideological preferences.

JVM is seriously more complex and heavier-weight. It does too much, and is shaped by Java the language too much (no functions, only objects!). It brings in mandatory GC. It's built around shared mutable data.

WA is much smaller, assumes way less, is isolated from DOM and JS code way better, communicates with them via message-passing. It has a smaller attack surface, and less room to screw up in the implementation.

Yes, I think not having WA married to DOM is a good idea from many angles. One of them is security, of course. Another is wider applicability: a WA VM could be useful outside the browser, and it already is.

You're being downvoted but you're right- Docker really isn't a good choice for running untrusted and potentially hostile code, since a container breakout zero-day pretty much immediately compromises the host OS. (Even with user namespace remapping a breakout still gives enough access to get up to shenanigans.)

At the minimum a disposable VM using something like KVM/QEMU/Firecracker would be a start. That way you have kernel isolation down to the hardware which is much less likely to be exploitable.
That's a fascinating and (IMO) extremely important question.

Hypnosis in general and Neurolinguistic Programming specifically are regularly panned by skeptics, and have not been scientifically well-documented, yet there is definitely "something there".

> am a bit curious about why you would say that calling the practice not scientific is not undeserved.

It's just that a lot of practitioners and promoters haven't been completely scrupulous IMO about making NLP out to be more scientifically-grounded than it is.

Writing experimental text editors for fun in various programming languages has been one of the most rewarding learning exercises of my life.

It's not really clear what your point is. You say the task is "useless"—what does that mean? Personally I can say that you are categorically wrong, because the skills I gained building things that are not completely new ideas fueled my passion for programming and opened up doors for me that otherwise would have remained closed. Even if I didn't still use a lot of these projects myself (because I built them to fit me), the value I derived from them would still be significant in the "grand" scheme of my life.

If a programmer is excited about the idea of writing her own text editor, what would you suggest she build instead that will sustain that same excitement and offer exploration into the same diverse subject matter but also satisfy your nebulous criterion of not being "useless"?
Hidden variables would be cool. But there are plenty of hidden variable theories that aren't superdeterministic. My point is that if we all genuinely adopted the superdeterministic way of thinking and explaining, we wouldn't even do experiments in the first place.

> It's on the level of answering "God did it" to every question.

And saying that it is random with "God rolled a dice" isn't? The entire universe could have used a fixed random seed and our experiments and thoughts would have been exactly the same for all we know, determinism doesn't have the effects you talk about. We perform trials and do statistics when we don't know the exact workings of things, not because we believe that the thing is inherently random.
Which could be considered a reason to use Kotlin instead. Scala is a more powerful footgun. You pay for the power in overengineered code, slow compile times, and worse compatibility with other JVM languages.

The scope of the second amendment is surely debatable. But Burger’s “epic rant” expresses a view of the second amendment that’s not only rejected by Heller, but was wrong from inception. The idea of the Second Amendment as protecting a collective right is irreconcilable with the text: http://www2.law.ucla.edu/volokh/common.htm. See also: https://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/06/us/06firearms.html. Reading the contemporaneous works of the Founders leaves little doubt that the second amendment protects the collective right to self determination through the individual right to own weapons of war:

> Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every country in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops.
- Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution, October 10, 1787

I’m not sure if the “collective rights” view is as shoddy as “penumbras,” but it’s surely more offensive to the Constitution to read a right out of it than to read rights into it.
That Medium post isn't arguing in good faith either. He criticizes a bunch of graphs on Vox or Mother Jones, but doesn't bother engaging with any actual academic research. The news websites may be imprecise, but their underlying point isn't wrong.[1]

No need to be condescending. Three reasons:

1) A sophisticated compiler might read the length of a file before loading it, so that it can allocate a buffer of the right size. Doesn't work with /dev/stdin.

2) Alternatively, it might read the file via mmap(). Doesn't work with /dev/stdin.

3) Furthermore, it might check whether the file is a regular file. If not, it is almost certainly not what the programmer had in mind.

I would say it like so: pi has many transcendental neighbors, which are in no way related to pi. But e and pi, despite being numerically distant, are in one sense "close" - related - via Euler's formula. So there's a "local closeness" - the arithmetic difference of pi and its neighbor - but also a "relationship closeness" where pi and e are intimately linked.

Perhaps quantum states obey the relationship closeness, not the arithmetical one. Classical physics obeys "arithmetical closeness" meaning that small differences in dynamical properties are close in state-space. But actually this is an emergent property: highly sensitive quantum experiments reveal that small differences in dynamical properties can be highly separated in state-space.

Rationals are all pretty easily related, but pi has nothing in common with a random close transcendental neighbor.

I was in similar shoes as you. I even had my notes scattered all over the place, some on paper, some in different softwares. Now I use only OneNote both personally and professionally and I cannot be happier. It has a lot of features, which helps because I can keep every idea/info/todo in one place. It has apps for everything (except Linux, but the web app works great in that case), so I can access my data anywhere. I even had a client where we all used it and we were easily able to make it work like a wiki for that project.
It might seem obvious, but what really helped me with keeping my notes organized (and my browser bookmarks too, because I have a ton of those as well) is revising them periodically, in my case weekly. If you do it frequently enough, then it's really just a couple of minutes of reorganizing each time and you can keep everything nice and tidy.
Again, it's not about randomness vs. determinism. Both are perfectly compatible with science, just as you said, and no scientist bats an eye at using either type of model. Superdeterminism is a big step beyond determinism that explicitly is like saying "because God did it".
Yep, any day now.

According your source in 2016 the US suicide rate was 13.7 per 100,000 people. The UK was 7.6, so about half.

But, France was 12.1 and Ireland 10.9, not much less than the US. I don't think we can conclude from this data that access to firearms accounts for all or even most of the difference.
Your wife's research is almost surely correlational, not casual - I'm assuming it's some sort of OLS using the NLSY or some similar dataset.

The fact that happiness and health goes up dramatically when parents are north of 60 just reflects that in the past - if you didn't have kids - it's because you didn't get married. If you didn't get married, it was far more likely to be because you were somehow unviable as a marriage partner than because you didn't want to get married.

So, you're going to get a spurious, strong correlation between happiness/health and the interaction between age > 60 and having kids. If you run the same regression among Americans in 30 or 40 years, that same relationship will not hold, since whether to get married and whether to have kids are to ever-increasing degrees explicit choices.

Or to quote my favorite anecdote from Amanda Palmer's book: doesn't hurt enough yet.

“A farmer is sitting on his porch in a chair, hanging out.
A friend walks up to the porch to say hello, and hears an awful yelping, squealing sound coming from inside the house.
"What's that terrifyin' sound?" asks the friend.
"It's my dog," said the farmer. "He's sittin' on a nail."
"Why doesn't he just sit up and get off it?" asks the friend.
The farmer deliberates on this and replies:
"Doesn't hurt enough yet.”

What sucks is that the cycle of falling prices and models being replaced is so fast that they become not worth repairing -- or impossible to repair -- within a few years.

I trashed an otherwise perfectly good 4-5 y/o 49" television last year because something on the IR receiver board failed. What leads I could find for a replacement board (a) had them listed around 50% of what a comparable replacement television cost and (b) didn't actually have any to sell me.

Upside, now even my rarely-used guest bedroom rates a fairly cheap 55" 4K smart TV. This holiday season the same money buys their 65-inch model, next year it'll probably buy a 70.
Neither of the individual facts is surprising. It is the juxtaposition that is. In 20 years of writing C/C++ code, I had never thought of #including files such as /dev/stdin.

Of course, I know how the #include mechanism works, and what the special device files do, so I can anticipate the results of #include </dev/stdin>, but it is unusual enough that I had to write a small test program to see for myself.
