And because we get more done by specializing, everyone has to be as disconnected as we can afford. And although there was always a hidden price on it, now the price is obvious: Friendship is expensive, and your friends also have to pay, for it to work.

Sometimes I wonder what life would be like in a village where everyone did the same agriculture tasks and I was working together with everyone of the same gender.

Even though that's only half of all the people I know, it would be far more programmers than I currently know.

Programming isn't traumatic, it's not like war and miscarriage, but it seems like _everyone_ in the working class is isolated, and it sure isn't fun.

I imagine farming is more lonely too, now that one person and a tractor can manage so many acres.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see how Spot eliminates the potential for virus transmission, especially if it's performing up-close checking of vitals on multiple patients.

Granted, Spot can't contract or respirate COVID-19, so it doesn't need a mask or a gown, but unless it's taking a rubbing alcohol bath between each patient visit, couldn't the virus still be transmitted via surface contact?
>It looks like those dynamics are a world apart

I guess my fundamental disagreement is that the two (censorship of taboos one deems undiscussable and censorship of taboos one deems discussable) don't seem so separate at all. Many of the same people want them, and for many of the same reasons. 1990s network TV was trying to appease the exact same public that Facebook would have tried to appease in 1990 if they existed back then and also had an attitude of appeasement. You, personally, have moderate views and sound relatively liberal in what you're willing to allow other people to discuss, but I'm not facing the decision of whether or not to appoint you as the censor: the issue at hand is whether or not we trust public outrage and the overall zeitgeist to determine what companies are afraid of being associated with, thereby determining what they censor. You can't set up a system with the idea that corporations will be reasonable or have a conscience.
Nice. Bought it and will try it out.
You're in luck my friend, the Wikipedia article does a rather nice job of describing just this "paradox": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_paradox

> In physics, the twin paradox is a thought experiment in special relativity involving identical twins, one of whom makes a journey into space in a high-speed rocket and returns home to find that the twin who remained on Earth has aged more. This result appears puzzling because each twin sees the other twin as moving, and so, according to an incorrect[1][2] and naive[3][4] application of time dilation and the principle of relativity, each should paradoxically find the other to have aged less. However, this scenario can be resolved within the standard framework of special relativity: the travelling twin's trajectory involves two different inertial frames, one for the outbound journey and one for the inbound journey, and so there is no symmetry between the spacetime paths of the twins. Therefore, the twin paradox is not a paradox in the sense of a logical contradiction.

There's multiple explanations included to resolve the "paradox" from different lines of argument; I particularly like this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_paradox#A_non_space-time_...

War was also much less intense and drawn out even up to say the Napoleonic war.

> To me, this is very similar to the suggested explanation in the featured article for why war used to cause less PTSD: there was less stigma around war, a much larger chunk of society fought in wars, and there were universal and well-defined rituals for processing the experience.

I don't find the explanations in the article convincing and I think they omit just how much more horrific WWI was than anything that came before. Indeed, WWI started with the kind of positive perception you'd see in previous wars but its intensity, brutality, and scope put those perceptions to rest. New weapons systems like coordinated mass artillery and gas attacks are unprecedented in history and, from all accounts, are a horrific experience even if you survive. And if you do survive, you're likely to be sent back out to face another artillery barrage shortly.

In short, I think the analysis in the article has cause and effect backwards. We didn't suddenly realize that warfare was evil thus making PTSD more prevalent. Instead, the experience of a war that left so many of its participants mentally scarred changed the perception of war in society. PTSD led to changing attitudes towards war, not the other way around.

"good service" is a bad sign for society. Americans have "good service" because low income workers are one insane customer away from their lives tipping over the edge.

Not some prominent 100 women novelists of the 20th century list that was their cover story. At the bottom of the page it has a correction notice.

Yeah I guess this is really my main issue.

It just feels like an almost absurd step back when compared to other language ecosystems where these are well-solved problems.

Thank you for clarifying.

So the bank's speculative asset loses value: I struggle to see this as money being destroyed as it wasn't actually money, it was an asset with a price attached to it which has now changed. In contrast to money sat in your bank account, the price was never redeemable (you couldn't go spend it on beer) unless you used that asset to get the debtor to pay you back (or convinced someone else it was worth buying from you as a speculative asset). You might as well say money is destroyed when share prices tumble. Maybe this is the point of such arguments, to make the case that money is no different to any other asset, but we don't tend to treat it like that in reality. Or do we?

This is hard. If your struct definition is in a header file then the compiler needs to generate correct field offsets for anything that includes that header file, so it would need to always optimally pack structure the same way based only on the definition and not on the usage.

People will also do silly things like casting between types in ways that rely on similarly written structures having similar memory layouts. So C is probably a bad language to turn this on by default in

You know.... I'm still waiting for Adtech companies to request realtime log shipping on the backend. You'd set up each server type (Apache, HAProxy, Nginx, IIS, etc) as a log ingester type. And from there, you ask the server admin to install a telegraf like tool that securely sends data to endpoint.

Doing this would allow websites to remove all appearances of tracking code. It just wouldn't be there. Sure makes for some strong plausible deniability.
I'm sure someone better informed could weigh in with more details, but IIRC, taking time dilation into account, you could explore infinitely if you could somehow travel at the speed of light.

As a data point, https://histre.com/ (Effortless Knowledge Base) that I'm bootstrapping, includes features around bookmarks - so it is in a way in the same space fwiw. Histre has a "solo plan" currently at $3/month. People who use it for "personal consumption", as you put it, sign up for that plan. When I talk to them, they say that at $3/month, they don't even have to think about it. You're definitely getting several multiples of that in value and it's a great way to support the startup be independent.

Otherwise all we'll have in the world is different flavors of VC funded adtech companies providing "free" services.

It's sticking the Wifi antennas at the end of a long cable. A "feedline" in the usual terminology.

How this interacts with beamforming and antenna diversity is .. not specified.

The basic idea seems simple enough: rather than stick an AP on one side of a wall and accept a 15-20dB loss through the wall, or use two APs, cable one antenna through the wall so the AP has a clear line of sight on both sides of the wall.
In the 1980s we had fantastic Internet connectivity and bandwidth at SAIC but most stuff was on FTP sites. I spent at least an hour a week curating lists of FTP sites and directory listings of them.

This is an apple-to-oranges comparison. The influenza death rate is calculated the same way the standard coronavirus death rate is: you look at the people who seem sick from it and then look at how many die.

I work in video games, and very recently we had a sneaky bug in one of our AAA titles(that was already out!), where(in huge simplification) we had a struct that looked like:

struct Obj
{
int foo;
bool bar;
}

then we were storing those in a custom hashmap using these as keys, where the hashing function was basically hashing bits of each stored object, without any awareness of what's in the object.

The bug was found when someone did something like:

void DoSomething(Obj obj)
{
if(!map.has(obj))
map.add(obj, new Whatever());

map[obj].blah(); //CRASH null pointer exception
}

I was like.....well, if there is no key "obj" in the map, we insert one....and yet literally one line after it doesn't have a value for that key??? How can this be?

Well, it can be because even though the struct looks like it takes 5 bytes, in reality it's 8 bytes because it's getting padded. So a naive hashing method that just looks at bits is hashing your 5 bytes of actual data + 3 bytes of garbage, which means that two "identical" objects are very unlikely to actually produce the same hash.

C++20 now has a "hashable" concept to help with this, but it still requires the programmer to be aware of structure packing.

I've never heard that construct. Are you by chance referring to Morton Salt's motto "When it rains, it pours"?

I've been using Dynaconf: https://github.com/rochacbruno/dynaconf for application configuration, and it's been quite pleasant.

It has various options for cascading configuration sources, such that it makes it relatively straightforward to build a hybrid approach in the event that you're attempting to migrate from a file-based config system to a more modern 12-factor approach.

At one point I needed to write a custom config source for Amazon Secrets Manager, and it proved quite easy to implement. Perhaps I should open source that…
Well, the daemons would be postfix, listssrht-lmtp, listssrht-process, the website, and something like nginx, plus postgresql and redis - so more like 7 :) but it's pretty easy to set up, and there are good reasons for these things being separate processes. The LMTP daemon is separate from process, so you can quickly accept mail and then take your time forwarding, or scale out mail forwarding to several processes/machines for large lists. This is separate from the web app so that they don't clog each other up and can be deployed/scaled separately.

For standalone installations you can also set up aliases like foobar@lists.example.org rather than ~username/foobar@lists.example.org.
