I did use the example of gasoline, but I don't know why you'd be uncomfortable carrying 11ml of it in your pocket. Let's change it to 11ml of ethanol which is basically the same energy density. In principle you should be able to extract the energy using a fuel cell or even a heat engine. Since we're talking about futuristic cell phones, it seems more than possible to squeeze more energy into Captain Kirk's federationphone.
Not a bad idea. Finding avenues to rent-seek seems to be the winning strategy, especially with all the cash floating around looking for returns.

For me the most interesting part of T1 is the ability to strongly guarantee maximum stack usage, and the accompanying ban on general recursion. Are there any other languages or compilers that do this?
This police report only notes 24 arrests for alleged arson, not which fires were set, how big they got or whether this was unusual. It could well be that this is a typical (or small or large) arrest haul and that the fires involved were easily controlled or small. What we can tell with certainty is that NSW is only one state and so this report doesn't say anything at all about fire ignition sources in the other states: WA, NT, Vic, SA, Qld.

A reasonable assumption might be that fires in unpopulated areas in central Australia were probably not arson (no people there to set them) and these are the largest fires (no people there to fight them).

But rather early for any broad conclusions. All we can say is - there's been some arson but we lack the context or details to really understand the relative importance. Currently arson doesn't seem like a major factor and it is probably over represented in densely populated NSW relative to the rest of the country.

I would say there's little evidence to support a hypothesis of an "unusual arson wave".

It still has been, because none of the claims made about ghosts can be explained by the known properties of dark matter (whatever it is.)

For example, people claim to see ghosts, but dark matter doesn't interact with the electromagnetic spectrum. You can't see something that doesn't reflect light.

The linked "article" is one chapter in a bigger work, and they only put chips in one section even if they could be in two. It has an article in the greater work as this is one chapter and shouldn't really be read in isolation as the rest of the work references chips in different sections.
I also think an imperative language that's preliminary immutable, that uses higher order functions (and some other techniques to get performance). I think this is the future of programming and can be taken much further than current languages.

<shameless self promotion> I'm working on a language for this. Right now it uses LLVM to compile to native and uses HAMT (see Clojure) to store data. It looks similar to Javascript. https://github.com/Floydlang/floyd

There are no references in Floyd, only values. This opens possibilities of great performance without complex/risk analysis of ptrs and aliasing.

The next phase is to create an intermediate AST (equivalent to your idea about compile-to-LISP) that lets programmer/tool tweak how the data structures map to the HW.

I'd love to pick your brain about these ideas!
Romans used lead to manufacture many everyday items, including plumbing related infrastructure, resulting in exposure to lead contamination.

Fair enough. This was the bit that caught my attention:

Alarmed, the couple turned to the study’s organisers. “They were very hostile. They said that the two couldn’t possibly be related, that he needed to keep taking the medication, and that he should stay in the study,” says Golomb.
First of all, not the same level of problems and not sure what I took. Could just be a fantasy.

Anyways, circa 1998, battling a serious fungal infection, an alternative treatments doctor (not homeopathy or something, this was in Seattle) put me on some kind of medication. I realized on my 3rd or 4th rage incident that the medicine triggered something which put me on the edge that even a small discomfort would trigger me. It was not the skin issues, it was just my mind on high. I have never been on (recreational) drugs before or after and barely drink alcohol, so not sure if any drugs cause similar behavior. I did not stop the medication once I realized it but I did try to be conscious of the effect and was able to control the rage better (but still not 100%).

[ Add: As I think more, the doctor was in sports medicine, so maybe he used somethings that he usually tried on athletes. ]
You make some good points. However that is not what i meant when i said "holistic".

As an example, in Ayurveda/TCM, "prophylaxis" is given greater importance than symptomatic treatment.

We are what we eat and how we live.

The beauty of Western Medicine is that it is highly targeted and therefore provides immediate relief. However, people go overboard with no thought to other factors, consequences and ramifications. They look at it in isolation. Whereas in Eastern Medicine; controlled diet (with emphasis on stomach/gut cleansing), massage therapy (affecting the circulatory, lymphatic and nervous systems), change in environment(Summer/Winter) etc. are given more prominence. The organism and the environment in which it is embedded are looked at together.

With what we know today, both these approaches need to be harmoniously blended together for the best effect.

You don't need to run AROS on Linux. It's one option among many, including running bare metal on a number of hardware platforms, including on real Amiga hardware.

But for someone who wants to just run an AmigaOS-like OS, it's a convenient option as it makes it irrelevant whether AROS supports your underlying hardware as long as Linux does, and so makes it easy to install; it also makes it easy to run it alongside a regular Linux desktop for someone who doesn't want to just run an AmigaOS-like OS, which frankly still has lots of limitations.

MorphOS to me is to divorced from AmigaOS to be particularly interesting, and the fact it isn't open source is another dealbreaker.
What would I do? Reduce the number of state employees. And I'd do it without firing anyone. See: Gary Johnson, New Mexico.

This sounds more like diet marketing. People have such varying success with different diets that one set of foods simply cannot fit all.

That's some immature criticism-receiver that you are describing here. You have just implied that it is impossible to receive criticism without thinking of it as hate, which I find to be false.
One wonders if some of these designs might make a comeback as Moore's law slows down.

For the longest time, processor performance was dominated by who had the best manufacturing process or, more recently, who could keep up best with fab's updating processes.
I take statins and my best self-analysis is that it gives me nightmares. I can't count the number of times I have woken up with bad dreams. However, I think it is my brain trying to regulate heart by causing it to beat harder. When I exercise, I usually do not have these nightmares, or maybe I am too tired to notice them.
My opinion is that if you are spending all of your time posting hate towards another person, you are mentally Ill and should get help.

The problem is that many online communities foster this sort of thing and allow it to fester and grow..as if it's perfectly acceptable.

Reddit has subreddits that I've seen that are dedicated to this behavior and sites like Twitter and Facebook will only get rid of posts if it fits the current political narrative. I've seen republicans/conservatives get death threats against their kids with no bannings, but if you misgender someone, it's an instant ban.

Its these sorts of double standards that allows hate to flourish and sends a signal to the person doing it that it's acceptable behavior, so it not only continues, but gets worse...and the person sending the hateful messages will never stop there.

They can give you a quote but there's no telling if it's going to be accurate or not, as the final price is based on a meter for hail taxis in almost all locations within a defined area. When you get to your destination what you were quoted is irrelevant, you just have to pay the price. So what's the point in the quote?

Am I the only one not thinking there's anything too outrageous in the article? I've also read the medium article by the ex. It paints the picture of somebody that definitely doesn't get top marks in family, but ... well... he's not that much different from the average american. A standard deviation, maybe? He met somebody else, separated from the wife, tried to make a new family, failed, went back to the wife. Makes me feel a bit sorry for everyone involved, but that's it. I really don't see a demon.

If the bad part is moving the girlfriend in another department, everybody looks like they've been overly accommodating, honestly. Having the bosses's wife work in the same department is not fair to the other members of the team. "Hey, Bill, who do you think will get the big bonus this time? You or the bosses's wife?". The decision to be together was mutual - acting as if it wasn't is extremely insulting to her. Some consequences are positive and some negative, that's just life, and one is that they couldn't work together anymore.

I can't see anything else. Alleged affairs? Not that many, not while in a committed relationship, and to be perfectly candid, not unusual if they happened. And given the current popularity of poly, possibly accepted by everybody. Definitely not loudly protested at the time.

What did I miss that makes him the devil?
The pen contains a chemical that interacts with the paper that's always used to make these bank notes. Specifically it blackens the starch found in wood pulp, and the paper in your laser printer, photocopier, etcetera uses wood pulp because that's cheap. Bank notes use a higher quality paper and so they aren't turned black.

This forces crooks to use more expensive and traceable high quality papers for their counterfeit notes or they'll get rejected in stores and bars.

Having IDs that actually look up to anything at all is a relatively modern idea. When I was born if you suspected a passport in my country of being bogus it'd probably take a bunch of clerks several hours of physically looking through filing cabinets to check.

And where we build systems that can check often people don't. The UK government built a system which lets a driver prove to the government who they are and then get a token value back which they can give to anyone - that token can be exchanged for viewing the government records for that driver. So e.g. hire firms could insist on this token to see you're not disqualified and actually have the entitlements your physical driving license says you have.

They don't. Some of them will let you give them this token reluctantly but all prefer you give them a print out, which obviously you could just fake.
Not if what you dislike about the state of things is having a few major entities control the spread of messages.
Cameras can't see anything that doesn't interact with the electromagnetic spectrum, but most people see things that don't physically exist from time to time; they're called dreams or hallucinations, depending on context.
Clickbait-y headline that they forget to mention hospitals as well. Yes doctors should be more responsive and responsible. But they're (only) doctors.

Hospitals on the other have have staff dedicated to technology and such infrastructure.

Dr X being unaware of the implications is understandable. Perhaps not forgivable but certainly no surprise. But hospitals? They have no excuse.
> Perhaps with this idea the only companies able to do this are Apple, Microsoft and Google.

Unfortunately they all have perverse incentives that run counter to everything that makes personal computing valuable.
The "no null" case in traditional languages is just "int" instead of "*int". All values inside an "int" are valid integers.

Certainly it's problematic to use the same language primitive to mean "a pointer" and "this might be empty", but it's what people use them for in every language that has pointers (that I've used anyway).

On the Windows desktop, the default stack size is 1MB. In IIS-hosted applications the default stack size is reduced to 250KB due to the popularity of the now-outdated programming trope of "one thread per request (per-connection)". On x86 Linux the default stack size is 2MB - which seems generous.

“If you lose half your brain, you’re probably dead, and if not, you’ll be drastically impaired the rest of your life.”

Depends.

Patients who undergo hemispherectomy at a very young age can recover remarkably well; a testament to the incredible plasticity of the developing brain.

In adult brains, yeah, it’s a very different story. See also: stroke.

Honestly, you’re both right. It is only one of a multitude of highly interconnected interdependent organs; but it can (and usually does) do some truly incredible stuff while running within that system.†

> You don't need to run AROS on Linux. It's one option among many, including running bare metal on a number of hardware platforms, including on real Amiga hardware.

Yep. I did have AROS running on a real machine (which has died). I have a real Amiga though so I rather use Amiga OS.

> But for someone who wants to just run an AmigaOS-like OS, it's a convenient option as it makes it irrelevant whether AROS supports your underlying hardware as long as Linux does, and so makes it easy to install;

Yes I am aware. I don't like Linux.

> it also makes it easy to run it alongside a regular Linux desktop for someone who doesn't want to just run an AmigaOS-like OS, which frankly still has lots of limitations.

I just don't see the point of running Linux with a Amiga like DE (which is really what you are doing). I am sure it suits many people's needs. It just not something I am interested in.

> MorphOS to me is to divorced from AmigaOS to be particularly interesting, and the fact it isn't open source is another dealbreaker.

Not everything has to be open source.
You can't prove that ghost don't exist. For a technical discussion, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falsifiability

What if ghost only realiablily appear when someone dies and there is a big neutrino flux? Have someone build a room for dying people in the path of a big neutrino beam?

What if neutrinos push ghost, so they are pushed to deep space by the neutrinos of the Sun? I guess the best place to put a ghost detector is at the top of a hospital and try to measure a passing ghost at midnight.

I obviously don't expect neither of these scenarios to be real, but I guess nobody had measured them.

Going back to my superconductor example, let's imagine that you go back in time to 1950 and say that the best superconductor is a ceramic, but you don't remember the exact formula. Hey, you don't even remember the formula of any ceramic material. They will think you are nut. Someone will even try with the wrong ceramic. Or with the wrong composition. Or let it catch some humidity and ruin the sample. Everyone will get convinced that all the conceivable ceramic are tested and it is impossible. They are not even conductors!

I never could learn to deal with this.

I set up a blog way back when blogs were first a thing, maybe 20 years ago. Started posting articles about internet, culture, tech, anything I found interesting.

Almost immediately, I had people dropping by and posting the most vile comments. Whatever I did, I did for bad reasons. I was a bad person and there just wasn't anything I could do or say to fix that.

I never learned how to mentally deal with this kind of blind anti-fandom, but I did learn an important lesson: never joke on the internet, or if you do, be very, very careful it's obvious it's a joke. Because whatever I think is funny because it's silly, obnoxious, or ludicrous? Somebody else will take seriously. And now you've got a new hater.

The net is drifting towards private communities. I think that's a good thing. This kind of environment really isn't healthy for folks.

I think you're fundamentally correct, but this is a mechanism which works better in small groups (say, a hunter/gatherer group on the African savannah, or a small medieval European peasant village). The same instincts which create haters now, would prevent somebody from getting too powerful in a small (Dunbar's number or less) group. Unfortunately now, we are interconnected in groups orders of magnitude larger than that.
We can just procedurally generate the comments at this point. On the one hand you need some initial comments along the lines of "I only ever use terrible tools and I just don't see how this can work" and on the other hand you reply with something like "All you need is thousands of engineers to manage the project."
Somewhat True, but "don't throw the baby out with the bathwater".

Much of "traditional medicine" is empirically based. The models they came up with to explain the mechanisms may not be valid in light of today's Scientific Knowledge but they are instructive nevertheless (rungs in a ladder leading to better understanding etc.) As an example we still don't know how exactly Acupuncture works but do know that it works for many cases.
I wonder why this guy thinks that the rights to a successful song are an "uncorrelated" asset. Wouldn't strong economic growth mean that people are far more likely to spend money on these things? Especially for 'sync' rights which mostly come up for things like ads, or derivative mass-marketed media (e.g. successful song X ends up in the soundtrack of movie Y)? Just seemed like a weird claim to me.
