> Take the right to bear arms as an example. In most other nations, if it exists, this is a right granted by government to the people. In the US this is a right recognized by the constitution to exist despite and outside of government.

In the US, the “right to bear arms” is a right to own a weapon as part of a “well-regulated militia”, with the idea that the nation was not originally intended to have a standing army, because it was believed that standing armies were a threat to the security of a “free State”.

It goes directly along with the third amendment against the quartering of soldiers in private houses.

A maximalist personal right to carry weapons everywhere all the time was invented post facto by gun manufacturers and pro-gun activists in the recent past. Notice that the same pro-gun activists are uninterested in the “well regulated” part, and are generally military enthusiasts uncritical of the most expensive and lethal standing army in the history of the world.
There's variance in developer experience and skill as well. The software's purpose functions as an audience filter. There are still probably toxic people out there using your software, but not as many so they're less likely to bother you.

From what I've read about rr, it sounds like awesome black magic, and I'd imagine most users appreciate how difficult its task is.
The XEmacs fork I mentioned had some bad feelings attached. As far as I know the other examples I mentioned (Stackless, swap-to-NFS, LuaJIT) don't. But it doesn't matter what authors think. What matters is what helps the users. Would you ask for Newton's approval before calculating a planetary trajectory, or Kalashnikov’s before designing an automatic rifle? Their achievements matter precisely because they empower everyone, for better or for worse.

Emphasizing authors’ feelings in this way has the effect of diminishing their software from a contribution to the intellectual heritage of humanity to merely a service like delivering a pizza. Don't forget to tip your waiter!

Of course you should be nice to authors if you interact with them. But the whole point of open source is that you don't have to interact with them unless you want to.
> Forking is extremely aggressive

We are already WAY past that line, just because people don't fork

> and just because someone has the time to write a patch doesn't mean they have the desire or time to run a project.

So DON'T run a project. Fork it, fix your problems and be done with it.

This seems to be at the core of the disagreements in this thread, one argument being that you shouldn't be expected to maintain a community project just because you put code on the internet.

Expecting that will lead to less open sourced code, which is bad IMHO.

Lastly, your last argument argument reads a little bit as "Not everybody has the desire or time to run a project, so what they want is somebody else to do it"

I might be reading in to much into it though. This thread has a fair amount of pronounced entitlement.
It's a reference to Arrested Development. There's also no need to take it personally -- not to mention that both Arizona and California are in the same country (thus making it by definition not nationalistic to say you prefer one to the other).
I did not say that Starlink is cheaper. I said a good way to make something cheaper is to increase competition / competing ways to deliver something.
I take magnesium citrate, 200mg of magnesium in the form of two capsules right before sleep (I buy a product from SuperiorLabs, although I've tried a couple of brands). Puts me rapidly to sleep even if my brain is very active with thought. I had always tossed & turned a bit during sleep, and occasionally struggled to fall asleep; both things got worse throughout my 30s. If I take the magnesium, that entirely ceases and I essentially pass out like someone tranquilized me.

Some people don't tolerate magnesium well in terms of their stomach. I don't have any problems with it though. A lighter dose might work for those with a negative stomach response.
> All people are born vulnerable to being beaten up and coerced by the guy with the biggest club. There is no "inherent" freedom in nature.

Well humans don't live in traditional Darwinian nature, our brains have evolved beyond that. A key distinction between humans and animals is our ability to think and imagine. Freedom, at it's root, is based on the idea that people have an inherent right to "think" and believe.

If "thought" is an intrinsic right, then it follows that freedom to think should be protected. It further follows that to protect thought, we need to protect speech, religion, certain aspects of privacy (i.e., you can't freely think if you're constantly being watched). A whole moral code can be built from the basic concept of the right to think.

> Only if the only taxes are wealth taxes. You're in a discussion about income taxes.

wealth = income - consumption

In the U.S., we tax all three: general income tax, consumption tax (e.g., sales tax), and wealth tax (e.g., property tax). Taxing any one has an effect on the other, and a discussion about one is relevant to all others.
It is possible. I myself just turned 26 and my wife and I have our third coming in July. Having kids is a sacrifice, one of the greatest sacrifices one can make.

I know many other young families. While I am a well-paid software engineer most of my young family friends are middle/high school teachers.
They are more intertwined than you think.

What is gun control but the government asserting a right to pierce your privacy to the putative end of arms control?

People don't look at it that way because people are used to looking at X and calling it X, Y and calling it Y, but not realizing both X and Y are subtypes of Z, so chipping away at X is chipping away at Z, even if you want to swear up and down the street it's only -X and not -Z. It is -Z and it is -X. Period.

It's why I've begun to fear the legislator that is seemingly able to break the law by making laws they are not empowered to make, and a politicalized judiciary that doesn't spend their time enforcing a strict obeyance of legislation to common language, and administrative lawmakers in the executive that are never double checked.

The world passed on to the generations after us will be a grim place indeed if we keep leaving them more and more shackled by the overwhelming detritus of the legislative hooliganry of our age.

California is a single party state in name only. There are plenty of conservatives who call themselves democrats in all levels of government. Many city councilmen in LA lean very conservatively in everything but the common sense stuff like not being a bigot, so they fly under the radar and people see the D by the name and vote them back in without reading a word of policy.

Anyone here knows about coderpad.io or intervue.io and is it worth to have a paid account on these websites for taking remote interviews?
That would be much, much worse. It would be the exact opposite of what the GP comment suggested.
> wealth = income - consumption

No, income - consumption is net increase in wealth. Those are all flows. Wealth is a stock. Wealth taxes are periodic taxes on the value of the stock, income taxes are taxes on the flow.
In a more serious note; i actually think the imagination and fantasy they is born in alot of people after reading about the mysteries of the universe is responsible for a many physics grad.

IMO, if there was the will to build a better system there would be a better system. There's a lot of edge-cases in space travel, or medicine, but there was will to put very smart people with very powerful computers to work on both of these, and now we have rockets that land on drone ships and medications that can control HIV.

The website seems very North America centric. So much so that I thought it was North America only. Elsewhere ITT you mentioned Japan though.

Have you considered making the site more global friendly? Also, on mobile at least when I go to look at the map I expected to be able to see all machines in the whole world but instead it only tells me there are no machines within 50 miles of me and won’t show me any machines at all.
The benchmark is very smart in that sense. It has multiple stages (e.g. plaintext, db access,...). It proves with each stage deeper into your stack. You can disable there parts of your stack (e.g. middlewares, views, controllers, ...) and just operate on low level http request response pairs. And there you can hardcode on top then (as the application). The stages of the benchmark are optimized for testing individual disciplines like the connection and memory management of the low level http server and parser.

In .NET case they changed the language in response to the needs of the Techempower benchmark (and the Unity3d engine) to allow safe and performing ops. .NET also has the unsafe keyword for low level ops and is surely also used. The advantage of .NET is that it was a team with a central manager who pushed all areas, http framework, base class library and language into the same direction. A community like Rust does not have that privilege.
You can hide a lot behind "presumably mostly"!

My memories aren't entirely internally consistent. Memories fade over time, too, so even if they formed perfectly, I certainly misremember many events. The earliest ones are from when I was a kid, when I didn't understand the world, so I naturally place the least faith in their accuracy.

When I do have conflicting memories, I use logic and common sense to try to figure out which is correct, and hedge my bets against memories which might be false.

So if I were an intelligent brain formed with random memories, over time my natural tendency, in order to remain sane, would be to correct my memories to be internally consistent, as much as needed, and not examine the rest too closely.
Solution: https://repl.it

I learned Clojure at my last job when I had downtime. I was restricted from downloading Clojure dependencies which was a pain, so I either used mobile hotspot, or I used repl.it which has about every relevant language in the last 40 years. Many of them come with a web framework to make a web app (which they also host for you for free)
In a society with 100 people where 99 make $1/year and 1 makes $1000/year you would have an even more absurd ratio. That ratio may be shocking and useful for political arguments.

But isn't the real issue that 1 person is making a thousand times what everyone else makes? And wouldn't it be truly absurd to expect those 99 to pay more instead of the 1%?
It's probably related but there seems to be a much wider bandwidth attenuation than you would expect with a typical comb filter phenomenon against a hard surface.

Not zero. I think the proper way to define it is “almost never” when infinite are involved: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almost_surely

attemptHydrationAtCurrentPriority

Without knowing anything about React or what Hydration is, I’m suspicious of this name - “AtCurrentPriority” doesn’t sound like useful information, everything should happen at current priority otherwise what does the concept of a “current” priority mean?

In a shell you don’t list files in the current directory with “ls —in-current-directory”, because the current directory is what you get if you don’t specify anything.

Similarly, in a language with exceptions and a library with error results, “attempt” is a non-description; everything is an attempt by default, the interesting things might be things which somehow can’t or mustn’t fail.

This smells like it ought to be “Hydrate” and then have a version which can be specified at some other priority if that’s needed.
There will never be a time where it won't make sense. Governments can and do become tyrannical and the population should always have the right and the means to wage war against it instead of suffering helplessly under its boot.
> Executive pay ratio is mostly determined by the size of the company

At least executive pay is. Amazon and Google have different ratios because Amazon has warehouse workers. Executive to worker pay ratios are more interesting in aggregate.

> The fix is simple in concept...

Companies age out and split themselves up on their own enough that it's probably better to just be a lot more restrictive on mergers. My fear with breakups is they can be somewhat silly. Breaking up AT&T just created regional monopolies and split local and long-distance. In the era of cell phones, this just looks weird.

You're also falling victim to Goodhart's law. Worrying about how much the 500 best-paid executives make doesn't explain why overall wages aren't rising, and that's what we should care about.

But I completely agree that company size and executive compensation are correlated, and it's an observation people don't bring up a lot. This ratio might be a better indicator of the size of companies than actual inequality.
I’m a republican and I totally disagree with Barr’s push. I honestly believe that once enough people explain to Trump the implications of unlocking one phone he’s pragmatic enough not to unbottle that genie. He’s been much more reserved than many would have expected given the loudness of his bark.
I tried to search thinking, "No, there is no way there is anything here in Sweden". But yes, just a few kilometers from my house there is a new arcade where private people put up their flipper games. Members only but anyone can become member. There was also an old one I had forgotten about.

You can scroll around once you have found one location, the map only updates if you click the checkbox on the left on higher zoom-levels.

Mabe one solution for this, without putting too much demand on the server would be to cluster the map points and deliver just the coordinates of the clusters until you hit zoom level 12 or so?

What is greater good? Morality is murky territory. If we can make money as a leaky abstraction/proxy for the greater good, then that would be best. UBI is one way to do that - if everyone has some money, they have at least some power to influence producer behavior. Another would be to quantify negative externalities and tax them somehow. Similar to carbon tax. e.g, in this case, notifications could be charged.

I think the proof that I am not a Boltzmann Brain is that my memories are chronological and all feature me as the self.

If it is infinitely more likely that I am a Boltzmann Brain than not, isn’t it also extremely more likely that I’d be one with any number of random memories rather than a group of memories that form a more or less coherent whole?
> If there are 100 billionaires, and you tax 2% more, and 1 billionaire moves away, you're still up on revenue. I often hear people arguing that we should operate our government more like a business.

This is actually one of the standard strategies for taxation: we should setup a tax system that optimizes for the maximum total tax receipts. When you tax too much, incentives go down and you actually lower your total tax receipts. In principle, there is an optimal taxation amount.

The problem with this approach is that we don't have good enough data. No one really knows how many fewer billionaires there would be if we increased their taxes, and biased interests each have plenty of conjured data to make their argument.

There are other tax strategies as well: trickle down economics (a favorite of the right, also based on suspect data); and guaranteeing living wage (a favorite of the left). One advantage of the latter is that the argument is not based on numbers or data, but on morality.

> You want to limit professional athlete salaries?

Of course I never said that, you did.

I'm very clearly pointing out the hypocrisy of California and its regressive, anti-human policies in action.

If they weren't hypocrites, they'd similarly cap athlete salaries based on the lowest paid employees of the team the athlete plays for - given the extreme pay imbalances in question. I believe the state officials proposing this are cowards and going after easy populist targets, so they'll never dare to act consistently and target athlete pay for exactly the same reason as executive pay.

Citizens can hardly run away from California any faster. It's so bad they're set to begin losing congressional seats for the first time in their history.

Ok, I know I said I probably wouldn't comment further, but the extent to which people will bend over backwards to deny reality is, frankly, infuriating.

If you narrow your definition of sexual dimorphism to body mass, as in your link, then sure, the difference isn't huge relative to other primates. But even a cursory internet search produces results which absolutely, unequivocally demonstrate that physical performance of males across all measures of strength and endurance is in a league far above that of females, both trained and untrained. By some metrics, like grip strength, the bottom 10th percentile of males outperform the upper 90th percentile of females. Female records for 100m sprints are regularly beaten by teenage boys. Men are approximately 50% stronger on average in measures of both upper and lower body strength - and the gap widens enormously among elite athletes. Lung capacity, injury resistance, training response - I could go on, but I would say that this is more than enough to fit the definition of massive - particularly considering that in practical terms even trained females compare poorly to untrained males by most metrics.

Sorry, it may be an uncomfortable truth, but there is simply no ambiguity regarding the degree of physical specialization among males and females, and I've yet to come across any compelling evidence that the same specialization doesn't apply to the brain. In a truth seeking society, this should not be a controversial topic - the facts are absolutely undeniable, not to mention they almost universally match anecdotal experience.
