Definitely, if you want imperfections, artisan value and appreciate craftsmanship, there is nothing wrong with handmade goods.

Just don't tell me that your Japanese knife when hand sharpened cannot be as good as something done by a robotic arm. Otherwise, I have some news - Japanese knife's edge sharpness(not durability) is no match for a surgical scalpel which is made by millions in quantities in fully automated fashion for less than $20. Or even a razor blade that costs $0.10. If scalpels were made from bluesteel (RH 62+), which is a horrible idea for a scalpel but just to make a point, then they would totally match a Japanese knife's durability too.

I could find countless examples where machines can have proper process control (SPC with control charts), high repeatability and can work well given all PMs are done and they're well maintained - totally out perform humans in many handcrafted jobs. Even things that we traditionally associate with artisan such as Guitars can be manufactured better and for cheaper by machines. "Only a master luthier can tell if the wood is good by knocking on it and feeling the resonance" - absolutely not. We can have ultra precision transducers and a whole bunch of DSP to figure that out and actually quantify that bullshit claim of artisanal value.

"But they have no human-like imperfections" - sure, just add random variation in the runtime code and imperfections can be automated.

What bothers me about this artisanal movement is not about craftsmanship, but about the marketing of it - just say it's handmade. Not because it is better but we want to preserve old ways of doing things. Don't say machines are not capable because I will show at your door and automate your job away.

The short answer is not automatically, but there is a streamlined process for filing patents in the US and then the EU.

https://www.epo.org/

I suspect that US evergreen patents would be annoying to the EU if pointed out, though.

I don't really get the desire to make your own FPGAs though. They will probably end up being slower and more expensive. It makes more sense to me to work on toolchain software.
> Not a great choice

It is a great choice to prototype the ideas
Thanks, looks promising.

The actual instances were somewhat hidden as far as I could see.
There are many of them already in orbit. The U.S. Army is the first customer and they will probably be happy with any satellite better than what exists today. Have SpaceX published any performance metrics? Jitter, Latency, Loss, Throughput per {n} users, etc... Do they use forward error correction? Do they observe QoS settings, 0x04, 0x08, 0x10 at least? I would love to be an early adopter if the transceivers are not too expensive.
As a Mexican I agree (even if I think hating on sugar is misguided, in an otherwise healthy diet you would be sufficiently healthy to deal with it in reasonable amounts.) The US simply has such a mind boggling reliance on empty calories and overall low-quality food, with brothless soups, iceberg lettuce salads, and frying everything in cheapo oils like sunflower, canola or similar. If I do not cook at home, or choose very carefully, or as you say spend the big bucks at a fine restaurant, I simply cannot find nutritious good quality food. I now realized I was spoiled growing up by having two parents who love to cook good stuff and find good eats.
People aren't aware of it because that's not true

It's absolutely true in the context of the report in the OP.
This is far from new. I still avoid Paypal as much as possible from how they screwed over the Something Awful Hurricane Katrina fundraiser back in 2005.
This is either sarcasm or you miss read something.

* Person A and Person B commit an identical crime.

* Person B is released because they have 10,000$ for bail

* Person A doesn't have 10,000$ and because of this they cannot work and instead must stay in jail

The point is that people don't consider Person A dangerous, and the only difference is how much money they have access to - so why is Person B dangerous and not A?
"Re-engineering" is vastly overstating what they should do. PayPal has a reputation for systems screwing up almost exclusively in their favor, mostly by hanging on to money for far longer than they should. Hence the unwillingness to "re-engineer" anything even past the point when you can assume it's anything but acting in bad faith.
is there awareness without belief?

I switched from table salt to "No Salt" or "Lite Salt" which cuts the sodium with potassium. It isn't noticeable in most dishes, and it's a great simple substitution for getting an important mineral.

Nobody is a criminal until they’ve been convicted.

These people were accused of crimes, which is different.
They are indeed significant points. I feel a lot of government success comes from trust, as in all interactions, if you can't trust your government then things go bad, then they just become people trying to take stuff from you.

Maybe there is some limit where there's too many people for that to occur. I feel one of the necessary conditions is the population needs a cohesive belief system (at least in certain areas). For example, if you have a large population that doesn't believe in science but in the invisible hand of god, and a large population that is scientific humanist then I don't think any system will cope with that - there is very little common ground. If everyone is educated and believes in a rational universe then it makes things a lot easier.
Actually it stands for "Niggaz", not "n-word"
I'd just say: more like the inverse.
Certainly, wealth inequality is on the rise, and I think you accurately sum up some of the forces that draw folks towards the city. Cities are places of deterritorialization -- not for nothing, it seems like every city has disdain for gentrifiers, the bridge and tunnel crew, and of course the dreaded transplant. All of these of course contribute to atomization, and the IQ shredder concept seems to account for how the thing they needed that draws them in removes their ability to have the other thing they need later on.

I suppose where I want to see evidence (and it's not because I don't intuitively believe it -- it does seem to make sense to me) is considering the idea that "many Americans once took their local communities much more seriously than they do now." I don't doubt that such a thing is the case, but it's important to remember that historically, America was the country you went to in order to homestead, to be a pioneer, to discover the frontier. It's true that some degree of community was a part of this, but so too was the idea of exploring the unknown. The mechanisms of immigration, frontier settling, and of course genocide were part and parcel of American existence up until settling was complete, "coast to coast".

What I'm getting at is that maybe the individualism that the environment self selected for during much of America's early growth set in place some momentum that continues going beyond when it generally creates only positive exponentiation. Now, as America has continued to grow up over the past century, it begins to grapple with how to conduct a society inside a universe which is not expanding for everyone the same way it used to. Is the lack of community potentially a second order effect which is downstream from this? And does that combine with the almost sousveillance state level visibility everyone has into everyone else's life, vis a vis the only very recent ascent of the "reality show" as a dominant force of cultural production?
They do. You can.

You have procedural macros, which are literally "Rust code is the input, which you write rust code to manipulate, and output more rust code".

You have const fns, which are interpreted at compile time, and are closer to what you're referring to.
> I'm not sure that's historically accurate

I mean, my point was that it's a relatively absurd argument based on a misunderstanding of evolution, as the sibling comment states.

> it's cultural rather than socioeconomic and caste based

Are castes and socioeconomics distinct from culture? (I'm working with Lévi-Strauss's definition of culture as the set of symbolic forms present across society)

> both the IQ shredder and Idiocracy argument perhaps only serve a useful function when referring to the lower and middle class, and fail to account for the upper class

If we consider it in this frame, it seems roughly equivalent to the "brain drain" idea that made the rounds a decade or so ago. Only difference being the ethical valence of the arguments.

> evidence of an apoptotic mechanism

Is this a valid metaphor? I'm unsure myself. I don't find myself agreeing with Spengler and co, but I also don't think I could muster a strong argument against it on demand.
So your business model is let everyone who signs up access the courses but only let the top students get a degree and then make money by selling access to those students?

How much energy would you say goes into the student part vs the employer part?
If You Utilize Email Campaigns: Learn How Verification Services Work
We felt that it was very confusing about what went on behind the scenes with email verification services so we wanted to put together some resources for those who wanted to learn more about how it works.
> You often have to communicate to your subordinates on what to do through writing and so on.

There're many different ways how the communications end up being. Some ways/bosses are better at writing, others are not as much. If anything to notice is that some well-writing bosses scale down to very short one-paragraph emails, almost slack-style. Even more, these already short messages may have typos (how?? the spell check is ftee!!). Well, that's the busy-boss style, as writing long replies or bothering with minor corrections just takes the time away from the tons of emails in the queue.

Which brings this to the next point, that, perhaps, a _comprehension_ skill is of equal importance for success in any kind of team. And that goes beyond what's written.

Some people/bosses won't read long texts, others want details, yet others want structure; many prefer visual depictions (hello, white board), some would rather write the whole thing in their own words.

As it's said - write for your audience. I'd add, that one needs to communicate to the audience's comprehension level, and you'd stand a better chance to be understood.

Although his phrasing is a little clumsy, it represents the truth of the report above. Within the singles market, a majority of young men are disenfranchised and alienated and lonely because a majority of women are chasing after a minority of men.

Why should he lose his job for stating an uncomfortable truth?

As a D user who never used Rust, few reasons why Rust is more popular than D:

- better ecosystem, cargo has many more packages, almost every important C library has a binding available, also many C++ libraries like Qt, Bullet. D claims to have the best C++ interop capabilities of all languages, but it's not reflected in the amount of bindings to C++ libraries available

- Rust has a better foundation in form of standard library and "blessed" packages. D standard library hasn't had many updates over the years. There are packages such as std.xml that are due for replacement, but no replacement exists. There is still no standard http package, serialization package.

- adding to the above - many problems in D are solved by the way of "I made something, maybe someone will find it useful". Pieces of code are shared, but there is no organized effort to fill in the gaps, and in the effort there is, there often seems to be lack of the final push to get something included in the standard library. There has been many potential stdlib packages in form of pull requests that never get merged due to codestyle nitpicking or some design concerns, with authors never moving in to fix it.

- more IDE-friendly environment. A lot of D code is constructed in build-time, which isn't friendly towards refactoring and code completion tools. Also, many people in D community are hostile towards IDEs, considering them as bloat and that "real programmers use Vim/Emacs and don't need those fancy syntax highlighting".

- stretching the language too thin. D started as a mostly GC language. Now we have @nogc and betterC. But neither really work as well as going full GC. Now ownership and borrowing system is coming into play soon. Automatic refcounting might be implemented in the future. That's a lot of possible failure points, and ecosystem splitting points.

- Lisp curse. There aren't many syntax sugars added into the language, and many language features can be somewhat implemented with templates. Things like named arguments can be implemented as a template hack, but it looks terrible both from caller and callee side. But for many people it's "good enough" and they consider the case closed and move on to other features. As a result, D offers often many half-baked solutions. Libraries that worked for someone but never really got fully implemented, language features that somewhat work as long as you don't use that other feature that they don't work with. etc.

Obviously many of those problems in D are just a matter of lack of manpower and lack of money, it's a bit of chicken and egg problem.

Yes, pollution is bad, but in some ways it's good that the plastic is getting spread out. Low levels spread across a wide area makes it more likely some bacteria would evolve to be able to eat it efficiently.

Of course it still sucks if you want to drink the water or breathe the air and there are all these polymers in them.
Right, they are suspect. But this was not the point the parent was making. He was comparing the paying group to the non-paying group.

If you release more, you have more suspect dangerous criminals on the streets.
I always take these rumours with a pinch of salt. But I don't think that there having been rumours for years discredits them. There were apple tablet rumours for years too, which turned out to be because they were working on a tablet for about 10 years before they released it (they ended up releasing the iPhone first as part of the same project, and I believe that was 7 years in).
Thats just dumb because the people directing energy to these efforts are not organized and are reactionary.

There literally exist people in this world that believe "doing something" is more important than planning, and that is the kind of person involved with these efforts here.

Is it even worth writing a solution here? Whats the best way to reach that group? I can imagine they just told their supporters to venmo them, instead of actually ACH or wire transfer to their organization's bank account - assuming they even have one set up under an entity or foundation.

Imagine being so unprepared that you don't even know the regulations creating the problem and misdirect that angst to Venmopal.

Low reputation users' edits get reviewed. A zero reputation user is no more likely to have flagging privileges than other privileges. Optimizing for the zero reputation user in regard to obsolescence doesn't seem like a productive approach to me anyway.
>How is a program that provably terminates but takes 2 years to finish any better for compile-time computation? You want timeouts in either case.

I'm not sure how realistic that actually is. Besides certain party tricks like encoding the ackermann functino using primitive recursion, I haven't actually seen anything like that. From my experience the vast majority of programs that don't finish in a reasonable amount of time are those that have some logic bug.

A timeout seems pretty off-putting. The idea that compilation could fail on a weaker machine just because it isn't fast enough just doesn't sit right with me.

I am totally not convinced by this argument against sugar. Yes, sugar is calorie dense. Yes, it's easy to eat a lot of calories from sugar. But in the end, even eating NO sugar, if you eat a ton of things, you'll get fat. An then you go on to recommend honey as though there is something magic about it and not pretty much the same thing with sugar.

I'm not hating on cheap bread. You can find cheap, basic batch loaves anywhere in the western world - but the crap I found in the US was the worst.

You are nitpicking. size_t is architecture dependent, on x86 it will usually be 32-bit, on x86_64 it will be usually 64-bit. It's not equivalent to i32, u32 types.

Also, I find i32 and u32 types much cleaner than D's "unsigned int" and "int". What is the difference between "unsigned int" and "unsigned long" in D? It's still better than C++, but I'd rather write i32 and i64 rather than "int" and "long".
> as America has continued to grow up over the past century, it begins to grapple with how to conduct a society inside a universe which is not expanding for everyone the same way it used to

I think this is a good frame and that your post is basically right, but I'm more of the opinion that it's not so much a lack of land itself but a lack of economic opportunity outside of cities that led to this condition.

> does that combine with the almost sousveillance state level visibility everyone has into everyone else's life, vis a vis the only very recent ascent of the "reality show" as a dominant force of cultural production?

I definitely think the internet in general is a big force that's contributed to our lack of local community. Why talk to your neighbors when you can talk to people online, like we're doing now? :'(
So... where can a non-PT find this kind of advice? Maybe you, or any other trainer you can recommend? Or some online resource?

(Personally, I'm probably above-average knowledgeable about fitness, but I still find the information unmanageably overwhelming - train every day, every 3 days, every muscle once a week, every muscle 3 times a week, big muscles less often than small muscles, focus on strength, focus on growth, focus on flexibility, cardio, no cardio, ...)
Even as just an app store user I find the ads for competitors extremely obnoxious.

Search "Overcast" -> top ad is some crappy competitor (not even a good real competitor, but usually some sort of near-scam).

It makes me think less of the competitor and Apple every time I see it, it also seems completely unnecessary. I obviously want the app I searched for. It seems like a feature entirely designed to trick old people.

The other suggestions are also really good, I'd love to be able to pay for big updates (though I personally don't really mind subscriptions for apps I regularly use).

I'm also not sure the web apps are really competition, when something isn't native I tend to think it sucks and choose something else if possible.
How did you do it ?
Perennial philosophy is the view that all philosophies or religions are getting at the same thing, or have the same root.

That's quite different from PKD's hypothesis (one of many he entertained) that the present moment is something like a holographic superimposition on biblical times in ancient Rome.

PKD meant this quite literally, as one possibility of what reality might actually be, not as an opinion on what different philosophies or religions are getting at.

> People in Jail are not criminals until they are put on trial, convicted, and sentenced at which point they are convicts and go to prison.

For minor crimes (and in some places major crimes) they go to jail; the main jail/prison distinction in the US is that the former tends to be city or county and include pretrial detention and the latter tends to be state or federal and exclude pretrial detention. But jails, while they include pretrial detention, also include people serving sentences.

> The state has to actually prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that you, the accused, committed the crime.

No, the required proof is beyond a reasonable doubt.
