> ...we have seen the development of machine learning tools that can perform in minutes the same analysis for which a human com­puter science major required hours or even days.

Statements like this just demonstrate an obvious lack of understanding of how the field of computer science works. Guess who developed those machine learning tools? A machine learning engineer _who more than likely studied CS._

It's just hard to trust the author on other topics where I'm less familiar, seeing the data clearly driven toward a predetermined narrative.

It reeks of cherrypicking to me, regardless of how well justified it is or isn't.

> I believe we also have the most CCTV cameras per person in the world - or at least we’re the ‘most watched’ by sone other measure.

I'm very (culturally?) surprised (and was a bit refreshing) that this is something considered negatively.
In our country there's always this pressure to add more CCTVs to make the country safer, and CCTVs are generally seen as good, not bad.

I don't really know about UK, but maybe it's the difference of the trust on the government that they won't surveil? Does anybody have pointers on reasons of the difference of the view?
That is really cool. Looks like they’re targeting 2050 to be 100% hydrogen based. That leaves 30 years of metallurgical coal consumption for one of the world’s most progressive steel companies. I’m long HCC for this reason.
Ech, I'km ok with that, becauase we eouldn't really experince it. There are much grimmer things out there
All planes can land safely at their MTOW. However, doing so may cause damage that needs repair before a subsequent flight. It also means you need more runway, which can limit your options or reduce safety margins.

That's probably a break of the GDPR so it will still be against EU law and they are taking the GDPR pretty much seriously, so getting caught is going to be a real risk.

I'm sure there will be at least some attempts, but the legal framework to stop those exists.

> Most Algol-derived languages use punctuation and symbols that seem to make them stand out better than words alone.

If we read a long novel, then we read mostly words without much visual structure. The only thing that guides us are occasional marks of sentences, paragraphs and chapters. Still many can read Lord of the Rings without much problem.

Lisp is slightly unusual, since the code is written as nested lists (trees). To make Lisp code readable there are a few things follow: speaking symbols, standardized code layout and familiar code structures. After a while the reader/writer of Lisp code will recognize the symbolic hints and the usual visual patterns of the layouted code.

> The top COBOLer can probably out-code an average Lisper I'd bet.

In terms of lines of code I would think that's true.

> It should be a curiosity why after 60 years it never caught on mainstream

Why should it be in the mainstream? Why should a programming language originally designed for certain types of meta-programming (remember: the symbolic computation and code as data ideas, which are central to Lisp) be especially popular among programmers and their customers?

> easier-to-read

Now you are shifting the goal. You originally claimed that functional code is hard to debug, because there are no variables you can inspect. But that's what we do in Lisp too: we use variables for that purpose.
> There's probably something extremely simple that's just whooshing over my head.

You set up your telescope for a 10 hour shot with multiple long exposures... many of your shots will include these relatively bright and numerous satellites... destroying your work. The problem is literally whooshing over your head.

Then there is the obvious problem of spacejunk... anything impacting these satellites and throwing debris into higher orbits could cause chain reactions, rendering space travel of any kind non-viable.
> Most wars between nations are fought for something like honour:

This is not true. Wars are fought for wealth or to protect wealth ( perceived or not ). "Honor" ( like freedom, human rights, etc ) is the lie the elites employ to sell the war to the public and dupe the masses into sending their sons and daughters to the battlefield.

We didn't fight the korean war, vietnam war, iraq wars, etc for "honor". We fought it for wealth. Every single war we fought ( from the Revolutionary War to the wars today ) was about wealth.

The cost-benefit analysis of war is another thing altogether. It isn't an exact science and it's like playing a game of "what-if". In some wars, you can see clear winners who made out like bandits. I don't think anyone would claim the US didn't come out the big winner of ww2. There are clearly some wars where it was a complete waste of lives ( ww1 ) since no side really won and the only winners were bankers and war profiteers. Most other wars, who knows. The cost-benefit analysis comes down to your own biases and how you perceive a non-military solution would have worked out.

If wars were truly fought for honor, then we'd have a lot more wars and a lot more nukings. Honor is the fake thin veneer of war. Scratch it and you'll find the true cause of wealth - greed.
'Starting conditions in the early universe' is too vague to actually consider properly. To rise to the level of even thinking about accepting or discarding it, we'd need to know what sort of conditions we're talking about, how they might lead to what we're observing, and preferably also how they might have come about. It's a class of possible explanations, not an explanation itself.
Tolkien does not fit the mold of the modern psychological-realist novel with its fixation on the inner lives of its characters. His most important literary precursor is probably Beowulf.

Simplistic formulas (character development = good), deployed like apotropaic amulets in the conveyor-belt writing of culture-industry hacks, are a poor attempt to reduce literary worth to an objective, analyzable and thus reproducible phenomenon—"good writing in a bottle". The polarity of description and prescription has been reversed.
Aand this is exactly why going 3D (using boring tunnels) instead of 2D is the solution.

I just meant if I had a design I wanted to make could I make it with Intel in the same way I could with a TSMC partner like Broadcom. My previous experience is that you could, we had them come deliver us a presentation some years ago. Their offering was no good at the time as they didn't have some of the IP macros available in the time frame we needed. So I find the parent comment confusing, unless things have changed.
Much of the side-to-side jerking is a combination of the poor suspension on the trucks (bogies) of the older Gallery train cars and fast running over track switches. The Gallery cars are the ones that look like steel toasters.

I imagine there's also quite a bit of hunting / side-to-side movement as well. BART tried to solve this with flat wheels, and after forty years of complaints came to the conclusion that flat wheels wear the track down more and cause significant noise. They've since cut a conical profile (like most rail operators) into the wheels under the guise of reducing noise. I can't hear much difference but the side-to-side motion is quite a bit more dramatic than I remember.

If you take a ride in one of the "newer" Bombardier cars (the octagonal ones) the ride is much smoother and the bumps are almost imperceptible with little swaying. I'd imagine the new trains post-electrification will also be much better on the suspension front.

It's been almost a decade since I've ridden Caltrain with any regularity but I don't remember being particularly enamored with how the Bombardier cars rode. If anything they rode firmer than the Nippon Sharyo cars over the bumps but had less lateral movement as a consequence.

I remember there being quite a bit of variation (there are three distinct batches of them after all) – something you used to see with Muni buses. The German ones (Neoplan) touted their complex (independent) front suspension, and there was a huge variation in ride comfort with some being downright scary. The Hungarian (Ikarus) ones with their simpler solid axle up front seemed more consistently comfortable.
Ah yes, who needs privacy anyways. Why not just abolish everything protecting consumers. Let's live pure capitalism. /s

What Could Possibly Go Wrong
OT, but his style is so dense in that book. Why did he write it like that? I've never been able to finish it. I find it almost impenetrable. The Hobbit I read with joy and ease even as a young child. In LOTR, sometimes after reading a paragraph I needed to pause to digest and to connect the dots. In The Silmarillion I need that pause after each clause.

This sucks, because I _need_ to know what's in the book.
I don't understand why you think it's ridiculous for child objects, which formed within a structure, to reflect characteristics of that structure.

The movements described in the article are mainly alignment and direction of axial rotation.

Planes can and do land overweight. It's avoided because it risks damage and necessitates an inspection in any case. So I don't think it's an issue that needs to be addressed in general. DL89 is certainly odd. It will be investigated and addressed if necessary.

>What exactly is the issue with volunteers smoking? Is it that they might physically or emotionally trigger someone?

Triggered isn't exclusively a slur, but a real phenomenon, though often misused.

Smoke triggering a physical reaction in a post-op cancer survivor may be a legitimate concern, as would be triggering a emotional response in people who lost a loved one.

It was not and is not clear from Ken's post that this was his rationale, and rather some relation between smoking and cause "awareness". I have lost family members to lung cancer, and have other family members who still smoke. I have seen people smoke as they die of lung cancer. I do not think it is for lack of "awareness".

Also, it seems like you have a very different mental image of what was described, and a very different reaction to it. Seeing someone self harm at such and event would make me sad, not angry. They are literally the class of people the event is trying to support.

But Arwen went forth from the House, and the light of her eyes was quenched, and it seemed to her people that she had become cold and grey as nightfall in winter that comes without a star. Then she said farewell to Eldarion, and to her daughters, and to all whom she had loved; and she went out from the city of Minas Tirith and passed away to the land of Lórien, and dwelt there alone under the fading trees until winter came. Galadriel had passed away and Celeborn had also gone, and the land was silent.

There at last when the mallorn-leaves were falling, but spring had not yet come, she laid herself to rest upon Cerin Amroth; and there is her green grave, until the world is changed, and all the days of her life are utterly forgotten by the men that come after, and elanor and nimphredil bloom no more east of the sea.

Clojure is a lisp that runs on top of Java, JavaScript and a couple of others and has access to all of those libraries via npm and maven

Having more libraries than most languages doesn't nullify the use of macros, macros are usually discouraged in application code because they don't compose well, don't make a macro if a function will do

However having macros meant that when go popularised CSP concurrency at the language level it meant we didn't need to change the language (for all variants of Clojure) it just meant we could make a library with macros to do CSP concurrency and it works on the browser on the server etc

Completely opt in, well documented as a library and we didn't weigh down the language with this feature, if or when the next big concurrency thing comes along we won't be looking to deprecate go channels from the language

Macros are incredibly powerful and you probably won't need them often but for those small cases of scratching a particular itch they're a get out of jail free card

Blindly trusting one's government ain't a good recipe for long term freedom and happiness. It might look OK or even justified now, but nobody knows what happens in the future and this is sort of one-way road. Imagine social credit system in China and go further. Sooner or later somebody craving for absolute power and control will start abusing it, be it in intelligence or government (or both).

I'm certainly concerned.

Just the other day I was revisiting the notion that using SRV records in DNS for web traffic would be absolutely ideal for small to medium sites. Unfortunately, the browsers (which have faults listed against them) refuse to implement them. Instead we have these CDNs giving us the ever-valued low latency, rather than giving the next layer down infrastructure (you and me using our VPSes) the ability to do it without needing BGP AS# agreements and fixed IPs and the like.

Now, the reasons the browsers don't implement them is because of the RFC which introduced SRV records suggested that existing tech shouldn't use SRV...

Now the most damning thing about this is the Chrome [1] won't do it because Firefox didn't do it[0]...(see comment 2 on chrome/webkit bug). Both are excellent reads, with lots of coherent thought... and yet are just...rejected.

And finally, there's this page: https://jdebp.eu/FGA/dns-srv-record-use-by-clients.html, which has a section:

> The SRV Lookup Laggards' Hall of Shame

For which Mozilla sits there as #1.

So, yes, I'm concerned. Yes there are alternate ways so that everyone doesn't need to use a CDN. Yes, it's the browsers themselves that have been stopping us....for 19 years.
