Well not quite. The search space for the Commodore 64 is already many magnitudes of times larger than the total number of atoms in the universe, so unless you had access to alternate universes, it would actually be impossible to solve the halting problem on C64, even if you had the resolve and all resources available.
Ah, now. See. You're mistake is thinking you can reason better than a dog. The reason a dog brings the toy to the human is because they know that the human is better at throwing and the dog is better at fetching. Teamwork, y'see.

Generally speaking, the surgeon isn't going to have your medical history until well into your treatment... probably by the time you or someone who knows you are able to tell them anything they want to know. There's not a properly linked database of healthcare records for that purpose - the hospital doesn't even know what GP you're with, never mind have instant access to your records, and it mostly works out.

There are two problems with social media:

1) Group Isolation. You can be banned from groups and not the platform. This allows for the notion of being toxic in a specific context, but not in the broader context, which I don't believe is possible. Either you are a toxic user, or not. If not, disagreeing with the zeitgeist of a specific group should be a welcome part of the groups discourse, otherwise the group only serves to radicalize.

2) Free for all discourse. If everyone gets an unlimited platform, the loudest and most absurd will speak the most, and subsequently be heard the most. You need level, artificial, limits to how much a single person can contribute to any given discussion in order for it to be balanced.

When switching from a physical medium to discuss things, to a digital medium, we lost key limiting factors which helped free speech be an effective way for society to operate. You can only yell so loud and at so many people on a street corner, and you can only avoid hearing others' opinions so much when leaving your house. The internet has done away with both of those, and an ideal platform for discussion needs some mechanism of providing both.

ASML is just an example of a complicated, competitive, hi-tech leading company coming from Europe. None of the competitors you listed are on par with ASML at the moment as you said. So we've established Europe can actually make tech critical competitive products (sorry for being hung up on ASML, I live in the Netherlands so that example comes to mind)

As for the government vs private venture, I cannot say it's set in stone. China is developing crazy ass infrastructure and companies, all very techy, and none of it is free market. So we've had bad precedents like USSR but also contradicting successful examples like China.

Also - Europe doesn't have to make Gaia-X BETTER than AWS. It doesn't have to become a 1T dollar market cap company. It just needs to do it's job and reduce reliance on China and U.S , that is the whole goal.
Why construction needs a three-sided marketplace
Even if it were a felony, who would enforce it?

Consider that NYPD, for all of its faults, actually has the Civilian Complaint Review Board. Which provides citizens the ability to officially complain about bad behaviors of various cops.

However, review boards do not exist for all police forces. And many review boards have insufficient power to properly reprimand a specific cop who does a bad job.

We need a specific organization to police the police. FBI kinda-sorta does it (but not under this administration. Under Obama, the FBI was charged with investigating police brutality). Since the FBI's orders changes with the whims of the President, it is clear we need a long-lasting organization that provides oversight even when a Republican is in office.
Am I the only one with strong objections to using Zoom as a verb?

Putting aside the fact that it's already a verb, which courses plenty of confusion, I can go along with using Photoshop as a verb, because it is objectively the most powerful and widely used tool with a very long legacy.

But Zoom is a clunky insecure mess with impressive, but not nearly leading market share. Is this really who we want to be gifting the recognition (and money) that comes with generic verb for all videoconferencing? At least Adobe did something to earn their verb...

P.S.: I see no mention of Zoom in the page. Does this fall under the "don't mess with titles too much" rule of HN?
Yes and the people who populate that subreddit comment everywhere else, too. Same goes for other misogynist/racist/right-wing subreddits. The proliferation of these subreddits leads to a proliferation of low-quality users.
If transistors can't get smaller, then software developers have to get smarter
The US DoD has a unique advantage relative to their counterparts -- I've worked with a number -- in that they culturally have a very high risk-tolerance for a government org. They will readily spend vast quantities of money on a high-risk/high-reward project knowing that it will likely fail, and they are okay with that. They've internalized the idea that maintaining an absolute tech advantage, which is an explicit objective, requires being willing to fail spectacularly. We talk a lot about those failures in the US but they also have many brilliant successes.

In my experience, many EU equivalent programs have a strong bias toward being the "second-mover" because it is seen as too risky to be the first-mover. When opportunities arise to be a legitimate first-mover in Europe with a government program, everything tends to grind to a halt due to analysis paralysis because everyone is terrified of failure. I've seen a number of cases where the US showed years late but ended up taking the lead because they can make decisions so quickly and back that with large quantities of money.
Coming from a background where I've looked at programming languages very little, I like the way this tutorial takes each step and not only tells me what it is, but shows me how to do it.

Your comment is unfair on three counts.

One, your statistics are the reverse of reality.

Two, the people that want to defund police are not the people that want to abolish the police. Considering the LAPD budget is 1.8 billion, and the NYPD budget is 6 billion, do you think that's by definition a bad position?

Three, the minority that want to abolish the police (me, various anarchist and communist groups, some general leftist groups, alt-right libertarians), absolutely have thought out the consequences of that. Most are more on the "abolish and then reform from scratch" train, because there's evidence that this works (on mobile and can't grab right now, sorry), others are on the "abolish and then reform into an entirely different concept from what exists now train" (see: https://bostonreview.net/law-justice/derecka-purnell-what-do...), and the tiniest sliver are on the "get rid of them all and make them never come back" train.

I hope this helps clear up any confusion and/or strawmen.

IIRC If you join on unique columns you're safe, but like I said, I found 2 cases of this last year in some code where the cols joined were not were not unique. That meant the output was, quite simply, junk.
When most people advocate for divesting, defunding, or abolishing the police, they aren't suggesting that we go without literally any law enforcement. They simply believe the current system is too broken and corrupt to be reformed and that we need to start completely over. These advocates are generally against other avenues of reforms because those reforms can give a false sense of accomplishment without addressing the underlying problem. Reform or any level of support for the current police system in the US is therefore seen as delaying that ultimate end goal of having a just law enforcement system in place.

To put it into computer terms, it is the equivalent of your computer performance degrading over time. You can try force closing programs, restarting the computer, removing programs from autorunning at startup, updating drivers, uninstalling unused programs, etc. However sometimes none of that will truly work and you will need to reinstall the OS.
I recall that Jeff Hawkins, when talking about his Hierarchical Temporal Memory ML model (which is supposed to be brain-like), said something like "Nature has spatial and temporal locality. Brains evolved to best store information that also has spatial and temporal locality—in other words, to recapitulate and model the natural world. To the degree that some pattern is akin to one that arises in nature, the brain can store and compute upon it easily. To the degree that a pattern is 'arbitrary'—something that cannot arise in nature—the brain finds it hard to hold into."

The moment-in-time arrangement of chess pieces on a board does not exactly have spatial or temporal locality; but if one has learned a set of mental transformation rules that let that board be translated into a narrative for how it got to be that way—then that narrative is itself something quite natural for the brain's architecture to represent.

I completely disagree with your latter statement. Redditors constantly push garbage replies to the top of nearly every post. So, so often I come across top comments which are attempted witty one-liners which contribute next to nothing are followed by _tons_ of equally useless comments OR it is clear the top comments didn't read the article or are pushing their anecdotes as evidence to the contrary, etc (the irony of that is not lost on me right now).

I don't think all forums need to operate the same, and it's beneficial that they don't. There should be places for people to say whatever the heck they want, and places that are moderately moderated (heh) and places that are tightly moderated.
The point is that the rules should be changed to disallow those sorts of subreddits. Let those users go somewhere else; reddit has no responsibility to society to host them.

The Canon software has the same limitations and just lets you use software from a perhaps more trusted source depending on your perspective…

Twitter was founded in 2005. Amazon in 1995.

Git didn't exist, SVN didn't exist before 2000. Common languages in use today didn't exist or were in their first versions (go, python, java, etc...). Most of the unit testing frameworks and IDE that are taken from granted weren't invented yet.

There were different expectations back then. No software company should be running in 2020 with no version control, no unit test and no CI.

If I want a $200k salary I don't start the negotiations at $200k, I start them at $250k knowing that I will be argued down.

If all you have is the moderate approach than those in power will implement nothing of substance.
Most people value prosocial beliefs and behaviors -- and do so more as they acquire life experience. However, there are some who are unable to do so and some who have been conditioned otherwise.

Regardless, the vast majority of people understand and appreciate the benefits of compassion.

These people value compassion, not because a research study informed them that they should, but because, in part, they have observed it for themselves: when they have been compassionate they realized that it made them feel good; when they have seen public policy informed by compassion in communities they saw how those communities thrived.

The intended audience for studies like these are those who want to do good and one benefit to them is to have a better understanding of how to do good more effectively.

And it is okay that not everybody is in that audience; the intended audience, their communities, and society as a whole benefit regardless.

The above poster is basically saying people are using the perfect as the enemy of the good. And you are arguing the perfect is better than the good. Though perhaps you wouldn't call it that.

Outright falsehoods aren't always conspiracies, they usually lie in the unknowns. It's one thing to say Clinton is a secret Chinese sympathizer, it's another thing to say she was born and brought up in China. Many of the fake news things fall into the latter category, just lies designed to promote the far right.

Conspiracy theories used to more neutral like 5 years ago. Now they're exclusively far right and anti-liberal.
If governed properly, populations tend to not riot in the first place, so I see this as a moot point.

You don't end up on thedonald.win by chance, you go there purposefully. For a long time /r/t_d wasn't quarantined at all meaning anyone browsing /r/all would see their posts all day long (since they were pretty good at mass upvoting their own posts for that purpose).

I don't think anyone advocates for entirely banning this community from the internet, freedom of speech is still important, but just not have it in a place where it might get surfaced and advertised to people that weren't looking for it. So to me, thedonald.win and /r/t_d are very different.

I'm not sure what `inspect` does, but can you clarify what you mean by proper pipes?

julia> x = [3,2,4,5]

3
2
4
5

julia> x |> sort |> x->reshape(x,(2,2))
2×2 Array{Int64,2}:
2 4
3 5

works.

It gives a syntax error if the pipes are on the newline. Is that your gripe?

Or is it that it doesn't automatically partially apply the function, requiring you to use an anonymous function, like `x->reshape(x,(2,2))` instead of as you have it `resize(100,100)` implicitly. I prefer the explicitness.
That's great then! BannerBear actually fits into OP's desire to be making $1-1.5k in 13 months!

Kidding aside - yes, I get it. SAAS products take a while and are hard. According to BareMetrics, after a year most companies are making $3333 in MRR [0].

But if you're living in a 3rd world country that's usually plenty of cash if you've got decent margins. The spirit of including BannerBear was more like "think about the things people do in Zapier and put together that product". Also, I just like the BannerBear story.

> Everything you describe is happening every single day and has been since before Donald Trump and will continue after him.

Yes, it has been and it is and it will, but everything is relative. No matter how bad a bad situation is, it can always get worse. You may not like the US now, but for all we know you could be begging to return to June 2020 when June 2021 comes around.

Every little thing like this increases his odds of re-election and the odds that people will think he's right or at least has a point. If reddit bans the subreddit for him and his supporters and doesn't ban any others, that could actually turn some non-Trump voters into Trump voters, and definitely increases the odds that his people will get out and vote.

>spend every moment outraged about censorship and supposed sleights against them — real or not

Sure, but then here they would have a real sleight, a real example of censorship, and a concrete and empirical thing to be outraged about, as well as a coherent and persuasive argument about the larger implications of the censorship and potential future risks they may face. It's the perfect way to empower them and bolster their intensity and their numbers.

He is very good at taking inflammatory stories, running with them, and getting other people fired up about them, too. He is extremely persuasive not only to his base, but also can be to some people who are closer to the middle. Reddit banning the subreddit and not allowing another one be created for him would be an escalation and a turning point. It's a major line in the sand, and would be a major talking point for him.

It may sound alarmist, but I'm saying this because I am genuinely alarmed at what could have happened and what might happen in the future. His supporters exist in the tens of millions, and they're going to talk with each other one way or another. If they're unable to talk with each other or about him without being banned on popular websites, they're left with no choice but to instead do it on insane cult-like conspiracy theory websites (trust me, if you think TD is bad, just try looking at some of those sites), where they'll be increasingly polarized and will increasingly believe even more dangerous and extravagantly false things.

The more large organizations try to restrict a particular group, the angrier they get and the more they feel like powerful forces are out to get them and that there's an organized conspiracy behind it. It's like trying to push an air bubble out of some material - you just end up displacing it, and if you apply too much pressure, the thing's going to pop.

Also, as other commenters have pointed out, there are lots of very polarized and even extremist people on the opposite side, and if reddit removes one side and does nothing to the other, then all of the above gets amplified even more.

I honestly agree with how Zuckerberg and Huffman are handling this. They both clearly personally dislike Trump, but they understand the big picture. It's kind of like geopolitics.

Yeah, you can say that again.
I'm not really sure what you're arguing for. It seemed to be that "the police are more of a threat than criminals", which is factually untrue, even today, before any so-called abolition of the police (which is what people are calling for.)

> The toolset that completes the version control log to form the development equivalent of double-entry bookkeeping.

This made me wish for a "git commit --future" that lets you just track future things to work on within git itself. "git stash" is kinda connected into this concept as well, branches too if used as development caches. It gets a bit wonky with multiple repos, as well as non-code related tasks, but then we have a single location for tickets, and a UI could be created to connect with other teams.
