Turing machine is mathematical model for computation. Deterministic Turing machine (DTM) is computationally equivalent to Non-Deterministic Turing machine (NTM) but the time complexity may not be the same.

>What I'm ultimately interested in is if we, as humans, are operating in a realm that logic cannot operate in. If that makes any sense?

Any mix of logic and randomness is still a machine. You must assume something spiritual if you think there exist rational action without computation behind it. Randomness does not help there.
if you biochar fallen trees and litter, and then bury it, it stays sequestered for a long time.

It also improves the soil long term - particularly in sandy soils it helps water retention.

Obviously this is much more work that just planting and forgetting though.
You could avoid parking charges when charging an electric car. That certainly did help EV adoption, cause parking costs a lot in Amsterdam. However, this policy is expired or will expire soon.

We need more photosynthesis (again).

I've often thought that vast swathes of otherwise barren land on this planet could be used for cultivating hemp and Cannabis, for a vast amount of uses (not just getting high).

It obviously grows very quickly compared to trees. And like 'a weed'. The 're-greenification' of land would be rapid.
Joining the chorus of this being a wonderful idea. Maybe link to Metacritic or other respected reviewers?

Omni-Channel Customer Retention Marketing Strategies
The spread of the information on Facebook causes the most damage I think. People who would never get involved in these lines of thought previously are now rabid supporters for accusations like the Bureau of Meteorology doctoring the numbers, an arsonist campaign, and my personal favourite, the Greens stopping backburning being the cause. (Greens are in favor backburning, but are also in an incredibly low power position and couldn't enact any policy in that regard anyway)
Thanks for your advice, will take this into consideration.

I don’t know if parent is ‘missing the compiler extensions [you] mentioned’ or is just not addressing them. But I will take a stab: compiler extensions may be neat/effective/revolutionary, but they are unequivocally not a part of a programming language. That is why they are compiler specific extensions. I could code a compiler extension for LLVM that is a conservative, generational garbage collector and have the extension flag be —-no-more-manual-memory, but no one is then going to say that because that extension exist C++ is a garbage collected language.

tl;dr -> compiler extensions are by definition not part of a language, no matter how useful, and therefore do not count towards the argument.
Great idea... I don't mind paying for good games, but what i do mind is games that try to squeeze as much money out of you for just playing it, which fits your definition of bullshit games.

Shouldn't you always be able to completely bypass that by taking out the chip or something and just probing it directly? I guess that might be a bit much for normal police work, but in terms of "can the government (read: NSA) get into this" this doesn't really seem to change anything.

> If everything is now WebApp what's the point of an OS that can't run native App vs any other OS that can do both?

The point is Google's effort to acheive capability equivalence between web and native apps, so that there is no consumer-relevant difference to “cant run local apps, only web apps”. Setting a firm.date for Chrome Apps going away can be seen as equivalent to Cortes burning his ships: they are visibly abandoning their alternative to pulling off that effort.
And the preceding passage:

"Explorers and naturalists of previous centuries give staggering testimony to the incredible natural wealth of North America and other places before colonization. Here are some images from another book, Steve Nicholls’s Paradise Found:

Atlantic salmon runs so abundant no one is able to sleep for their noise. Islands “as full of birds as a meadow is full of grass.” Whales so numerous they were a hazard to shipping, their spouts filling the entire sea with foam. Oysters more than a foot wide. An island covered by so many egrets that the bushes appeared pure white. Swans so plentiful the shores appear to be dressed in white drapery. Colonies of Eskimo curlews so thick it looked like the land was smoking. White pines two hundred feet high. Spruce trees twenty feet in circumference. Black oaks thirty feet in girth. Hollowed-out sycamores able to shelter thirty men in a storm. Cod weighing two hundred pounds (today they weigh perhaps ten). Cod fisheries where “the number of the cod seems equal that of the grains of sand.” A man who reported “more than six hundred fish could be taken with a single cast of the net, and one fish was so big that twelve colonists could dine on it and still have some left.”

I used the word “incredible” advisedly when I introduced these images. Incredible means something like “impossible to believe”; indeed, incredulity is a common response when we are confronted with evidence that things were once vastly different than they are now."
I don't know, are you familiar with carbon capture rates for algae? It's a good point and one to explore: trees/plants vs. algae for carbon capture. If you could make a modular system of tiles (say 10' x 10') comprised of carbon capturing method of choice (algae pools, trees), would it make sense to install these on buildings in cities (or anywhere, but suggest cities because that is certainly where such things do not exist at scale anymore) (then consider fabrication and maintenance costs)? I have no idea what the solution is to the carbon capture problem, but increases opportunities for carbon capture seems like a high level solution.
Thanks a lot for your advice, really appreciate it!
The canals were access to transportation, so maximizing number of house fronts on the canal was probably a priority. That probably creates the tax situation too. But you see it elsewhere too. My neighborhood in Maryland has long narrow lots along the river.
I've bought a few Chrome apps over the years, but I don't like it. They've all disappeared, or no longer work.

Oceans Have Warmed So Much, It’s Like They’ve Been Constantly Nuked
I was hoping the article would discuss the issue of the visibly shifting foundations of many of the houses, which most of us find delightful as spectators but must be terrifying for property owners. It's impressive the houses are still here after 300 years, having been built on a bog. Even more impressive how many appear to be in otherwise excellent condition given their lean angle! I have to imagine many societies would have demolished and rebuilt them long ago (boo).

In the same vein, I've also read that the forward tilt many houses exhibit was intentional- to make it easier to hoist goods to the upper floors.
> It just doesn’t have any basis in reality.

So you're effectively denying the possibility? I'd say that's a pretty gargantuan assumption to make.
If it's not obfuscated, you can get a pretty good dump of a c# binary's source with a decompiler. Some variable names may be missing (local variables and such) and some constructs may be awkward (generator/iterator stuff) but it's usable.
I don't know the specifics of the people in the article, but examples like Cédric Villani demonstrate that it's not OK to be rash in one's judgment.
>An algorithm is fully deterministic...

Well, the ideality one project in its representation of an algorithm surely might feels like that. An execution of a software in perpetually moving execution stack in a broader network of extremely volatile context is an other affair.
You should probably try TabNine ('autocompletion with deep learning'). It is trained on a compendium of pre-existing code, and suggests really sophisticated completions. Sometimes it freaks me out how it suggests solutions, almost like having somebody code for me.
There is a great observation in one of the Bellingcat podcasts on MH17.

China's carbon per PPP-GDP is about twice as bad as most developed countries, so you're either proposing making everyone poor, or making everyone's economy more carbon inefficient. Either way the answer is "no."

I unfortunately can't find a reference, but I heard that it takes about 20 years for a newly planted tree to peak with regards to absorption of carbon, and after about 100 years it reaches equilibrium where the forest emits about the same amount of carbon to the atmosphere as it absorbs (through decaying matter, fallen trees, and whatnot). It of course depends on the type of tree.

Oh gosh that sounds awful. I have to admit I was using "Encrypted SNI" in a general sense, I hadn't looked at the details of ESNI, the proposed solution. In my head encrypted SNIs was a somewhat straightforward problem to solve but thinking about it more it's a bit tricky. What you describe of ESNI sounds horribly convoluted :(
Yes, it was as a customer. When I sell stuff online, its either cash, bank transfer, or Paypal "as friends", never Paypal "ware or service", because it's super easy for sellers to get scammed by customers.

I think that's a good thing. If you are selling stuff online using PayPal, you should be at least be big enough to afford a lawyer that helps you with PayPal.

As a customer, however, you are often way less protected.

It is a good argument. Tbh, I am struggling a little with forming a counter-argument.

It is a little odd. I think I see action as just an extension of speech. This is probably a reason I hesitate when anyone says you can talk about something, boy you better not, say, actually exercise your theoretical right to assemble.

I think I will need to think about it a little more.

I echo the others here, Thanks! I have young kids and we let them use tablets on long trips, vacations, airplane rides. Finding games for them is impossible. They are too young to understand when characters, levels, items are locked. It seems like every 2 minutes they get stuck on some ad screen with a hidden X. I just want a game that when I pay $4, I get the full game. It doesn't even have to be a big, intensive game. My kids would be happy with a finger painting game, as long as all the colouring sheets and paint brushes are available.
That doesn't really make sense, though. Go is entirely open source. If Google dropped it tomorrow there are more than enough non-Google people invested in it to continue development.
Technically yes but it would be generally worse at self-sustaining scalability - you need to construct more greenhouses, keep the higher exposed surface area of water from evaporating, and find a sequestering use for that algae.

Non-biodegrading bioplastic made with renewable eneegy could technically work for that role but more plastic waste isn't approved of for obvious reasons.
No-one denies that there are differences in average intelligence between different populations. The claim that there is variation in intelligence between populations is practically equivalent to the claim that there is variation between individuals in intelligence, since given individual variation, it must be the case that some groups of individuals will have higher means than others. This could only fail to be the case if nothing was correlated with intelligence.

The controversial (and incorrect) claims are (a) that there is a scientific notion of 'race' and (b) that genetic differences between these 'races' are responsible for certain observed differences between certain populations.
Avalanche training and equipment is necessary. The skills aren't really that complex, there are a few rules to follow that will save your life.

Personally I'm most happy about the fact that life ends at some point. Whatever I do, whether I waste my life (whatever that meant) or live it "meaningfully", at one point it wont matter any more. Don't get me wrong, I like my life more or less and try to live it "meaningfully" but constantly thinking about whether I'm doing the right thing at the moment and what will happen "in the future" is quite tiring.
SNI is an optional extension and is legal to be missing. No SNI - no problem.
I'm considering switching away from OpenGL just to get rid of the global state. It's too tiring to track the OpenGL state just to realize you forgot to unset some texture in a completely different part of code.

My favourite of the newest APIs is Metal, because it's very easy to jump from OpenGL (triangle in Metal is about 30 lines of code). Perhaps WebGPU is an alternative once desktop translation layer is created (Google is working on one called Dawn).
> there’s a plausible case that a portion of the blame for the war is due to climate related impacts:

There's a "plausible case" that many deaths of frail elderly people are caused by common ailments such as cold or flu. So what do you think is killing people, the fact of being extremely old and frail or the flu?

We're trying to reduce everything to a single common cause, vague and global, when there are precise responsibilities and much more direct actions we could take. We're all with Greta Thunberg when she campaigns about the future risks of climate change, and when the US (with the silent complicity of the EU) brought the world on the brink of a new major ME war, with the potential for millions of deaths, nobody said a damn thing. I find it disgusting.
You forgot to mention IEEE 488 which was both a great thing and the cause of many failed experiments. But I digress. Yeah I saw all those and a lot of others you didn't mention. Remember DIN connectors? They were nicely round, dimpled and standard. Didn't stop students plugging them in upside down. Students also plugged vga into 25 pin serial! Or 9pin serial for that matter. I've seen students try sd cards into usb then complain it didn't work.

You didn't address microusb or even its cousin the lightning cable. Talk to anyone who fixes phones and, after the screen or battery, those damned connectors are broken by design. Flimsy. They are D shaped but only barely. I can easily plug microusb in either way. Oops. Lightning breaks because you unplugged it too many times. Its not D shaped and works both ways. Still made-for-landfill.

Yeah, Usb was a game changer went it came out. Intel did that design for size, cost and just plain "ability to get it out there". Firewire didn't really pan out. Too expensive.

So many attempts at the perfect cable. They all work in their own way. USB A did ok in general.

> We need to solve the whole ecosystem issue.

Which unless we come up with some pretty smart measures is inevitably going to involve poorer lifestyles for most in the developed world, in effect (and perhaps this explains the keeness on the left for environmental issues) moving us to a more socialist model, wherein hard work offers far less in terms of monetary reward than at present.
I can only speak for myself, but my development environment being mobile is precisely the point. I can work from home, I can commit changes while on business trips... it's valuable. I also have a large monitor at the office that I plug my laptop into, so I get the best of both worlds.

Factory food.

I realise that has icky connotations, and is anathema to some people, but we will need at least 50% more food over the coming decades, and we are already over-using the land (and especially the sea) by a lot.

Organics, permacultures, symbiotic planting, etc, are all good things, but not nearly enough to meet our future needs.

So we need to concentrate large parts of agriculture into a much smaller footprint.

Hydroponics, aquaponics, indoor fish farms (we really need to stop fishing wild fish at sea, except in the most artisanal line-caught manner), synthetic milk, juices, flours, even grains if possiible, protein from insects, engineered yeasts, etc, etc.

Ideally, we could actually make food much more nutritious, and delicious, by manufacturing most of it.

Good people can help keep it on that ideal course, not a more dystopian one of sickly 'protein pills'.
On the other hand it has much more mass than Earth and so there is slim possibility it has dense atmosphere. I believe dense atmosphere to be more important that perfect temperature for habitability.

There are no revelations about memory or collective consciousness to be found in this article.

I think everyone is forgetting the writer of the instruction manual in the book. You don't know Chinese any more than any program knows what it's doing, and if we received a invalid input the communication would crash the exact same was as any program. With the exception of George Lucas movies, it's very rare for a human to crash of a non-hardware issue.
Sure, but the vendor specific black box is getting much smaller. The idea is that it's better to have client and/or middleware code paths battle actual hardware differences than having them battle actual hardware differences and different sets of smoke and mirrors.
The people voting against environmental reforms are doing it because they don't want to reduce their quality of life.

And since nothing comes close to the cost to energy density ratio of fossil fuels, there is no solution other than reducing energy usage and reducing quality of life. And so without convincing people they should reduce their quality of life for the benefit of future generations, nothing is going to happen.
