>This is why each note has “Backed by the full faith and credit of the United States” printed on it.

No they don't. I just checked three different bills in my pocket (a $1, a $10 and a $100) and none of them say this. They say "This note is legal tender for all debts public and private" but there is absolutely no reference to "the full faith and credit of the united states"
> I always read that "never" as "in the next 50 years". Never say never.

That's what people are saying every 10 years for the last 70 years. Until it's a reality it's pure sci fi, and we shouldn't care about sci fi when trying to solve current issues.
TV is about as far away from beneficial to an individual or society as you can get without straight up poisoning or stabbing people. The less it is consumed, the better. You're not helping anyone or society by encouraging others to watch it.

Same in Europe and still completely besides the point.
Also, this argument keeps ignoring that the ominous "anybody" is required to have access to a repair shop, tools, and the skills required.

Once you take into account all these factors it quickly becomes apparent that not "anybody" will repair cars, appliances, and electronics by themselves; regardless of legislation.

The people who do care (farmers in the US, electronics repair shops, that dude on YT who repairs Teslas, ...) incidentally are the ones with the skills, the tools, and the incentive.

The licensed part comes into play as soon damage regulation due to improper use/repair occurs. This isn't a concern for private individuals (in the car example: there's a mandatory in-depth technical inspection every other year in Europe, so an improper repair results in a failed inspection anyway), though your insurance may become null and void depending on the circumstances.
Licensing is not the same as purchasing. I don’t think banning the concept of licensing would be helpful.

> I just don't want to see that reverted to a discrete battery design.

WHY?! You'd end up with stuff 3-5mm thicker, but basically the same weight. Let's drop the "thinner" fetish once and for all, nobody cares about some mm of "wasted" space (that usually improves cooling anyway) inside a devices case and it being a bit chunkier, as long as it's almost just as lightwieght!

Fffs, let's go back to getting gold plated or diamond encrusted laptops and watches for showing off status! That's way better than the thinner/lighter nonsense...

Sure, getting smth. thinner bc technology actually improves (eg. displays) is cool, but shaving micrometers by packing everything close together is stupid.

(Oh, and we could start fixing our brains to think the same about cases for... people! Eg. housing. Like in kill the micro-apparments disease, there's enough room on the planet for all to leave confortable... in bigger rooms, and with chunkier laptops if that makes them more recyclable. "Space" IS mostly "free" ya know - very little of Earth's surface is actually usable for stuff like agriculture, energy production, mining etc.)

Thanks, that was a very clear explanation. I know AssumeRole is needed for SSO, and I understand the benefits of SSO. The way the article phrased it it sounded like AssumeRole has some very specific benefit by itself.

And if the answer is "short lived credential", then I'd like to understand how short lived credentials that require a long lived credentials to get them are better than long lived credentials, if both can be just as easily revoked.

Looks really cool!
We're currently using io-ts, and the one thing that bugs us the most is it's less-than-optimal error-reporting. Especially for complex/nested objects, the error messages produced are pretty much useless. The functional aspect of it is something that we kind of got used to - and mostly hide by having a few wrapper-functions.

Will look into it!
Rust will frequently build code that will run in a comparable number of cycles, but can often run even faster as soon as you introduce concurrency. Safety isn't just some crutch to lean on instead of simply being really, really careful in C. Concurrent apps need a lot of guarantees for memory safety, and it takes a lot of mental energy to figure out how safe you really are. C devs often go overboard and do more than is necessary as a result.

diet plays a huge role in kidney disease management for sure.

potassium is a big deal since it is filtered out by the kidneys and if your kidney function is lowered, dangerous levels could build up and possibly lead to a heart attack.

on the flip side you generally have to start ramping up protein intake once on dialysis.

but agreed that this isn’t straightforward and if it was so easy, people wouldn’t be on dialysis and renal dietitians would be overjoyed. it’s infuriating to read the other comments suggesting it’s all some garbage american diet.
Are there any plans for building validation support like this directly into TypeScript? If not, why not?

TypeScript seems designed to be incrementally added to large existing projects. Why then isn't there a standard way to validate objects coming from the untyped parts of your project?
Chasing Snoopy's Tail: Apollo 10 Descent Stage May Still Be in Lunar Orbit
This should apply to any high-level glue language that's wrapping primitives implemented in a "fast" language, right? I'm thinking in particular something like python with numpy. As long as most of the work is done within the primitives I would think they'd be pretty comparable.

Is there something about the primitives that APL-derivitives provide that mean that more of your program can happen inside the primitives so the interpreter is doing less work?

I'm also curious how the performance compares against something like Julia, which is JIT compiled so you avoid the distinction between the high-level and low-level code. Seems like a rather different region of the high-performance design space.

edit: also how does this relate to the "the whole interpreter fits in the cache" explanation that's also widely-invoked to explain K's speed? It seems like if you're spending most of your time in the primitives than the interpreter time doesn't matter. Maybe it's a combination of both - K and friends encourage you to organize your program in ways that support burning through data quickly, and additionally when the interpreter is operating it's a particularly fast interpreter?
People mostly aren't interested enough to actually learn how to tackle those problems nor resourceful enough to act on that learning.

Ideas are cheap. That long-nursed startup idea you've had has been tried a half-dozen times and discarded even more.
MERS evolved to spread in camels, SARS evolved to spread in bats. Their preferred climate would obviously be different.
Well the US is struggling just figuring out how to test for the disease on anything but the smallest of scales, so I doubt anything like that is replicable here.
You should give definitions a chance, because they point to a way to make your code even smaller. Consider that dictionary compression, like LZ77 and LZSS works by encoding redundancy using symbols that index into a table.

Even APL/J/K programs with repeated patterns in them are further compressible. Occurrences of any repeated string more than two bytes long can be replaced by a 16 bit symbol.

Speaking of which, why don't you just learn the data structure and algorithm of a compression program like gzip inside out? Then you can write compressed code in any language. Others can easily work with your code by uncompressing it and then compressing it again when their changes are applied. Or vice versa; you can work with other people's code by compressing it first, then doing your changes in the more convenient, ergonomic compressed format. Maybe some checkout/commit hooks can do that transparently.

Compression will ferret out gratuitous frivolities like 17 copies of remoteDatabaseConnectionHandle, and turn them into a convenient, tiny code.

Think of how much smaller it can be if you go beyond reducing tokens to character. You've now got Huffman and dictionary coding at your disposal, and possibly more.
There is a world of difference between technical obstacles and deliberate ones. Apple structures their contracts so that the manufacturer is not allowed to sell components to any third parties, making repair impossible. You could be forced to throw out a five grand laptop because you are not allowed to buy a $5 chip, that can be easily replaced.

With bind style semantics its not that bad using result types for matrix or bigint.
Sure, but it's the same issue. In a quantum system some degrees of freedom are "frozen out"--the energies are much higher than (Boltzmann's constant)(Absolute temperature) and they become irrelevant. But the accessible degrees of freedom show up in the heat capacity.

The great thing about NetHack is that even a +127 cloak of magic resistance still won’t protect you from cockatrice stoning, disease from major demons, choking on food, drowning, nymphs stealing the cloak, poisoning, starvation, drawbridges, disintegration, brainlessness due to mind flayers, angry gods, or level drain.

In short, there’s plenty of ways to die in NetHack!

Yours truly and many, many others. I do not actually use MFC as I only use C++ for servers. GUI things in my case go to Delphi/Lazarus. There is a whole world outside of that web juggernaut.
You can't manage what you don't measure.
I think multiplayer would completely wreck the strategic / thoughtful gameplay of NetHack. When I'm playing, if I get into a sticky situation I'll frequently make perhaps one move per minute, because until I act the monsters can't act either, so I have lots of time to look through my potions and spells and decide on a plan. How does this translate in multiplayer?
The White House wouldn't let the WHO tests be used. They also delayed allowing new tests to be developed.

I'm sure the CDC is to blame for some of this, but the WH is more so.
I remember an episode of Last Week Tonight from season 6 where in the USA some pricks wanted to do the same on the free app of the respective gov department. And Trump made the hear of that dept one of the founders of (was it??) Weather.com so he can sabotage the app from the inside.

I don't remember the story, it was another brilliant example of how USA is allowing large corporations soil on everything free and wants the sharks to keep biting people's flesh (just like in healthcare, insurance, guns, etc.).
We're agreed that prototypal inheritance (at least in Javascript) is orthogonal to typing. Your question about the values of A and B seems to imply a parent:child relationship -- which is the kind of hierarchy that we're looking to avoid, right? It's straightfwd to flatten the prototype chain using a single delegate prototype.

Yes, favor composition over inheritance.

FWIW, I really like Eric Elliott's take on this stuff:

When the blacklist contains 30% of the sample space, is it any good?
I mean, if we're going to play this game, they're all roguelikes and thus they're all descended from Rogue. Which, in turn, descends from Colossal Cave Adventure and Dungeons & Dragons, which is descended from traditional war-gaming, and if we continue down far enough we're back at the Royal Game of Ur.

Pretty easy to integrate C libs as unsafe calls with rust's FFI. You're definitely in for an uphill battle if you have to manage a bunch of decade+ old makefiles with hundreds of special flags for each platform under the Cargo ecosystem, though.
Agreed. This line:

> But because of the historical legacy, researchers who have worked on or presently work on Superdeterminism have been either ignored or ridiculed.

is too strong. I would say that the historical legacy does not have much to do with it - the reason that superdeterminism is ignored or ridiculed is that it looks absolutely wild to most physicists - much more mind-bending than the vanilla story of the Bell test, which is mad enough to begin with. That's not to say that it is ruled out - just that we have avoided it for pretty sensible reasons, rather than stupidity or some sort of blind spot.
I've always considered Nethack to be almost unplayable without spoilers and/or "Use the Source, Luke." Yes, I know there are people who at least claim have ascended without them, but I don't think I'd have ever done it without some inside dope.
a) There's plenty in the world. These reagents are widely used.

b) If it's that scarce, we should've been stockpiling more.

We’ll consider perhaps the whole carnivore food chain increased in size because the base food source (insects) got bigger.

On https://www.reddit.com/r/Bedbugs/ there is a section with guides including 'bedbug indentification', 'DIY treatment guide' (https://www.reddit.com/r/Bedbugs/comments/3f5zro/crispys_diy...), 'ineffective methods' and of course it's a forum where you can ask specific questions about bedbugs. Especially now that you've tried all the usual methods.
Exactly, it would be naive to assume that the Fed didn't indentify and take advantage of this opportunity to bail out their cronies. The boom has lasted 10 years, that's about as long as these things typically last.

Other countries will also follow suite. But it's good to see that countries like Australia are doing cash injections the right way. In the Australia, they did a much smaller AUD $17 billion cash injection but they gave money to senior citizens instead of big financial institutions.

All these people working on the foundations of quantum mechanics must somehow have missed the fact that quantum mechanics has been superseded by quantum field theory. Quantum field theory resolves basically all of the typically interpretation of quantum mechanics questions in a rather sophisticated way. Unfortunately and I guess this is why these "Interpretation of QM" are still popular most things become harder to calculate with QFT instead of plain old quantum mechanics. Still I think that the perspective of taking quantum fields and the path integral as fundamental clarifies a bunch of things even about measurements. In the path integral formulation you can view a measurement as an additional term in the Lagrangian (for example a non-zero external magnetic field for Zeeman-Splitting). You then have to expand around the classical solutions summed over all initial conditions, so if you have for example a spin-1/2-based dependence as it is the case for the Zeeman-Effect, you would have to expand around these two different classical solutions. There is nothing mysterious about this and in the cases where you can carry the calculation out you get the correct predictions. Fundamentally there is no such thing as measurements, just local interactions of quantum fields and any measurement can be either modelled as such an interaction or as an additional term in the Lagrangian.

The truly interesting things discoveries within in the framework of quantum field theory, such as ADS/CFT, going from String Theory to low energy effective theories or the Amplituhedron. All of those have direct and immediate connections to state of the art quantum field theories.

What is done in (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1912.06462.pdf), especially the last part, where they suddenly invoke p-adic numbers in support of a very vague argument and a cartoon of Penrose's impossible triangle in a similar vague manner, won't be taken serious by most physicists, but is sufficient apparently to convince non-technical people to continue funding them. Nautil.us probably is just grateful for the free content.

You are in India. It should be easy to get rid of it. Spraying chemical won't do anything. Most chemical won't kill eggs. Also chemical won't reach hard to reach areas.

I can see some discussion about trying to figure out which restrictions will work best with the psychology of a given population.

But the idea that the "most effective" time is going to be later doesn't make much sense to me. Marginal rate changes in exponential spread are most likely to have the biggest impacts early. It doesn't much change the total volume of people who get sick, but it very likely changes the volume of people who get sick at once, and that can save lives.

This sounds like saying "we can only imagine quarantine working if things get fucked, so we're going to let things get fucked, so that the quarantine will work except for the fact that things are already fucked oh well too late."
I'm both very technical and very handy and my father was neither. My drive to learn both was a deep desire to know how things work. It took me a very long time to figure out why, but after a lot of personal introspection I have discovered that is the root cause: a desire to know how everything and everyone works. It's how I navigate the world, through the understanding of how it works.

By the way, between 'people', 'computers' and 'the trades', it's 'people' who have been the trickiest. When someone is impressed at what I do, I used to say "computers are easy its people who are hard".

The best I can surmise is that when you are a kid you get this sort of 'base programming' that is really, REALLY fucking hard to change. Even when you recognize it and you want to change it, whew, it's a mountain to climb. That's why they say "people don't change" because its so hard.

If your dad taught you something was 'not your cup of tea' then it is very hard to change that thought in your head. I am sure there is an evolutionary reason for this because it does not make logical sense to keep doing something well after you know it's not what you want to do.

I do not have the patience to deal with people for very long periods of time. I wish I could change that, I have tried to change it.

However, my dad taught me at a very young age that it's normal and very, very common to dislike someone; because of how much I disliked him. He treated me like I was in the way. A computer in my bedroom literally saved my life.

My brother didn't hate my dad because my dad liked my brother. So he had a completely different childhood in the same exact household. And guess what: my brother is a people person (and also not handy or technical).

So, you have to play the hand you are dealt. Someone always has it worse off than you.

Just remember your childhood when you are raising your own kids.

Treat those kids with understanding and both actually listen and talk to them. Don't tranquilize them with fucking videos. Read books, listen to music and show them that life is happy and normal and routine and they can do anything day after day. When they grow up, all they will know is that life is happy and normal and routine and they can do anything.

A persons base programming is a bitch to change; make it a good one!
Yes, thank you, I knew this study. I wonder how real-world apps would change (or not) the conclusions.

Firstly there is component level repair, faulty chips on a circuitboard can be de-soldered and replaced. It is not rocket science, it's perfectly normal level of repair and is worthwhile on a $500+ device.

Then there is no phone that literally has a single board, there are other components such as the camera, earpiece, screen, etc. that are still replaceable.
I'm just mentioning the naming, not the general approach to error handling. Panic are roughly similar to what an "exceptional exception" is (stop control flow, unfold stack until being handled), but the naming is slightly better IMHO.

I personally like Go's approach, but that's not for everybody (I'm also quite fond of the monadic approach though).
The difference is in the quarantine: If I have to assume it's SARS2-CoV, I don't leave the house, my partner should stay at home as well because she's most likely also infected by now; also we need to get someone to bring us supplies some time the next week before ours run out. We just had that very drill a month ago due to a viral infection (medication only eased symptoms, all we had to sit it out and follow the usual hygienic/no-social-contacts rules not infect others).

Question is: What's the threshold? Can I trust external data or do I need to assume it's too imprecise?

Now if I knew that I'm most likely not infected (-> potential importers tested) I would still stay at home (in home office now anyway) and reduce social contact, but I could get supplies for family/friends who are quarantined. If I knew I wasn't infected prior to staying at home (-> everyone tested), and if I started developing symptoms, I would know that it's highly unlikely that I was infected and could thus reduce the load on the doctor/hospital (edit: I have "respiratory precondition", hence it seems I can't just say "well, I'm young and healthy, worst case I sleep it out").
Ask yourself if his criteria applies to you:

> Reliability

While C is indeed a winner for obscure platforms, many language gets you perfectly covered for a "cross-platform" game.

> Performance

You can get equally good performance in Rust and C++.

> Simplicity

As he says, simplicity does not mean easy nor intuitive. Then it is a matter of opinion why simplicity should be a good thing. Personally, I prefer a complex but easier to use language than a simple but difficult to use language.
