(2) Saves the webpage it points to into a git repo (a simple curl should suffice for most websites)

(3) Inserts that URL, title of the page pointed-to by the URL and the optional comment into an org-mode file that lives in the root of the repo

If you're willing to change "git" to "version control", it should be pretty easy to implement that in Fossil. It doesn't require much to add an extension written in your language of choice if you're going to run it on your desktop. Plus you'd get the web interface for free if you decided to put it on a web server.
>> Excess carbon in the air is good for plants, and global warming might forestall another ice age.

How is it not "rooted in science" that excess carbon is good for plants? We're already seeing significant global greening, and yields are up. Excess CO2 also reduces the amount of water the plants need.

Not in the language standard they don't, no. The C99 standard basically says "good luck with that":

"5.1.2.1 Freestanding environment

1. In a freestanding environment (in which C program execution may take place without any benefit of an operating system), the name and type of the function called at program startup are implementation-defined. Any library facilities available to a freestanding program, other than the minimal set required by clause 4, are implementation-defined.

2. The effect of program termination in a freestanding environment is implementation-defined."

There are obviously numerous embedded toolchains that provide facilities for writing C/C++ to target embedded systems but they're generally all doing nonstandard things and every one is its own unique fork of GCC.
Sucking at certain things is sloppy. Weak type is not. Python is a much better language than Go in almost every aspect.
User specific state like "dark mode enabled" would probably be better inside localStorage than inside a shareable URL.
I’m not saying that it should be easy, just that the API shouldn’t introduce significant amounts of additional complexity.

For the very simple case of "I want a command-line option which specifies a path as an OsString", Rust’s way of doing things makes things hard. By comparison, in C++, I am used to dealing with paths as std::string on Unix and std::wstring or std::u16string on Windows, and this C++ approach is a lot easier.

Rust’s OsString design is too smart by half, and if I use env::args_os(), I can’t easily do simple tasks like "test if this string starts with '-'" or "split this string by the first '=', if it exists". As far as I can tell, the way to go is to convert OsString to Vec<u8>, do your processing there, and then convert back… but that only works on Unix, because arbitrary Vec<u8> aren’t safe to convert back to OsString on Windows because they may not be valid WTF-8. So you can take the approach on Windows of going through encode_wide().collect() and it just goes downhill from there. :-(

"My graduate work in computer science in the 1970s and ’80s was funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.

Now we are in a technology competition with China that has profound ramifications for our economy and defense — a reality I have come to appreciate as chairman of two government panels on innovation and national security. The government needs to get back in the game in a serious way."

If Go is somewhere in the middle and Rust is on the right then Nim is somewhere in between Go and Rust.

Personally I think that’s the sweet spot, and now that Nim is at 1.0 there is no excuse not to give it a try. As nice as Rust’s compile-time memory management is, it’s very often overkill.

Isn't the point of OsString that it's essentially a faux-union type that is intended to be immediately converted to some concrete representation which /is/ richly manipulable?
> `type X Y` is still affected - you will 100% _not_ have more success :)

type X Y neither inherits methods nor forwards anything (what struct embedding does), so you need to know about the protocol (which you're not told because it decides to just encode the bytes), and then you need to implement its methods on the newtype explicitly forwarding them to the underlying one.

TBF this is a pretty awful case as Go just goes and generates garbage without prompting.

> 2015 — Content blocking comes to Safari and iOS

typo. He means "Safari on iOS". Safari on desktop had normal extension-based ad blocking since day 1. Then the content blocking API came to iOS then later the same API in macOS.

> • No debugging tools

perhaps in 2015 -- I wouldn't know -- but today it's certainly debuggable with the help of a macOS host. Much like remote gdb.

> The maximum number of rules limitation is a huge problem,

not a problem at all. rules limitation is per filter but each adblocker can install multiple filters. I suppose the rules limitation is for latency reasons, in case of a poorly designed blocker.

> It was disproportionately hard to maintain a completely different filter list for Safari alone.

Completely false. filters are regex's. It's trivial to use the same source list with whatever filter technology.

I guess because this article is content marketing, and not academic research, these errors (and omissions) are ok. But I do wish, that given the title, the author had bothered to mention that Bing inserts ads that are not blockable via simple URL filters. adblock+ currently doesn't handle them and I believe they are not handle-able at all via the Safari content filter API. By extension => ad blockers are doomed. So yeah, he's not going to say that because he's selling an ad blocker ...

1 out of 3 WWW users has an adblocker.

I won't visit websites with [a lot of] ads if my adblocker stops working. I'll simply stop using these websites. Just like before Netflix, I quit watching cable TV.

I might even be one of the contributors. If there is demand, there will be supply. And nobody is going to bother to "catch these copyright infringers" because nobody gets hurt, in contrast to someone selling illegal firearms or dangerous drugs.

This is my impression of the comment chain so far:

The root said "The users of that forum have literally been linked to public shootings.", as part of an argument that /r/the_donald is a shithole and deserves to be banned. The reply was that all sorts of people find themselves in mass shooter manifestos, and that this doesn't imply any sort of culpability whatsoever.

You then replied saying that everyone who finds themselves in such a manifesto needs to reexamine their messaging. This would seem to imply agreement with the root - that since /r/the_donald was mentioned by mass shooters, it's bad.
it is often easier to learn from someone else's mistake than to have to make the mistake yourself. what's not to be gained by learning from someone else's experience? why do you see criticism (with actually-encountered, real-world examples, no less!) as being without merit?

San Francisco has a few areas with the "sidewalk level bike lanes", especially near the waterfront from the Embarcadero towards The Marina. I've walked in there as a pedestrian and have ridden a bike in that area, and honestly the area has wide-enough sidewalks that that style of bike lane isn't too bad for pedestrians or cyclists, at least in my opinion. I imagine what's envisioned for Market Street will end up being similar, though the sidewalk along the sections of Market I see regularly (around the Powell Street Bart) is narrower than in the waterfront areas.

But I tend to agree with you overall: with (most^) cars taken out of the equation, a street level bike lane is probably better for everyone.

^ I still see people mistakenly turning on to Market sometimes.

Most net metering arrangements require a manual power disconnect switch for your rooftop generation [1] for utility workers or first responders, and NEC requirements require inverters to shut down ("rapid shutdown") if they can't sync to the utility to prevent backfeeding power during maintenance (caveat: if you have local energy storage, the inverter will island and continue to provide power from local storage). I would encourage you to ask your municipality and their utility department what their net metering arrangements are; I would be happy to make such a phone call/inquiry on your behalf if you would prefer.

Is your utility Nova Scotia Power by chance? It appears they support net metering [2].

Everything I mention above will be cheaper than storage (which will start around $13k CAD).

The reason is because Go is very popular where Elixir is not, if Elixir was standing where Go is now it would be pretty much the same, I guaranty you that.
Generally speaking, information integration is entropy reduction, which is essential for life.

As for what it accomplishes, think of how walking is a large rhythm involving the synchronization of many smaller rhythmic units. Or how perception of an object involves the integration of many small textures and elements into a whole. If those textures can be viewed as rhythms (FFT everything), it's another practical example of what synchronizing processes accomplishes.

Singer has evidence that seeing objects as a whole uses 40hz inhibitory interneurons to synchronize the firing of features associated with a different object. So, another object would have a different 40hz phase. In that way, the synronizing creates wholes from different parts.

The conclusion seems foregone, all that is left is to let them create a record of how the process itself was the punishment. British justice appears to have become fickle, cynical, partisan, and self dealing. These are of course the views of only one person who is also a supporter of the accused, but the behaviour of the magistrate as described is of someone without accountability.

This is the logical conclusion of the overuse of „nofollow“. As but one example, the German Wikipedia has for years nofollow‘ed external links. That’s a policy that reduces their work load because it discourages spammers. But it also denies the public to profit from all the information that these links convey.

Incidentally, English Wikipedia doesn’t use nofollow as far as I remember, showing it’s entirely possible to police edits adding links. (My impression is the German WP Community has a certain ideological bend where they consider links to commercial sites ineligible even if those represent best possible sources of information. It’s not exactly „left-wing“, but closer to the weird mindset that afflicts members of a club when they spend too much time with each other and isolated from he outside).

Anyway, Google is really doing us a favor here. There‘s information in those links and willingly disregarding it was hurting their users, i. e. everyone. Detecting spam has also improved quite a bit, so the downside for websites should have lessened somewhat.

In 5 years' time, when there are a gazillion "Rust vs ${Nim}" articles out there, extolling the virtues of another language and pointing out the shortcomings of Rust, then let's ask this question again.

I'm not questioning the critique - no language is perfect, and Go certainly has its share of problems. I'm questioning the sudden rash of "Rust is awesome, Go is shit" articles over the last few months. It's not a good thing.
For me it was that the business could only exist in the intersection of our respective skill sets, and would have been impossible otherwise. This made it feel like a natural fit.

Neither of us went to top schools or worked at well known places (we’re both slackers at heart) but we were good in our respective niches.

We’ve not executed anywhere near as good as we should have but we still have no competition which has allowed us to survive quite a few mistakes and outright screw-ups.

I don’t think we would have got as far as we have if it was a case of one person following another persons vision. We may have a totally different perspective on how to get to our end goal (which causes lots of conflict), but our vision of the end goal is very similar and has been from the beginning. This kept us going through some really hard times.

If I had to offer advice(which I’m not because everyone has a different experience) I’d say don’t look for someone to work on your startup with you. That’s what employees are for. Make sure that it’s clear you’re looking for a co-parent and not not an au pair.

But that’s just my experience and I’ve got more questions than answers. I’m pretty sure there’s no silver bullet though.
Sure, by "establishment" I intended the politicians too.

Still the main responsability sits on the economists and their peers.

I mean, not that I want in any way to absolve the politicians, mind you, but what can they do - not being economists or more generally technically experts in this or that field - if not choosing the theories from people qualified by notorious universities?

In my experience what matters in this is reputation (and network), which in itself is not "bad" in an absolute sense, but I see a lot of sloppy or downright "wrong" works (even if rarely with such severe consequences) coming from these people lately.

It seems to me like there are not (or not enough) critical reviews/checkings/etc. in some (scientific or pseudo-scientific) circles.
