Did we overreact in banning asbestos from everything? In many applications it seems well contained. Maybe we can use it if we're careful about its manufacture and disposal?

UPDATE: Apparently it's not outright banned in the US, but it is in many other countries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asbestos#United_States
Yes, conventional porn is a dark place. In my study of the problem, this fact underscores the importance of the Snapchat/Onlyfans revolution rather than taking away from it.

Prohibition creates problems. It doesn't solve them. Prohibiting anyone from using conventional payment infrastructure simply pushes them into the arms of the (sometimes abusive) people who have the resources to work around the system. In this scenario, an individual can't work around the system. The nameless/faceless owners of the large porn groups can.

This situation creates an inherent power imbalance that incentivizes coercion.

In the Snapchat/Onlyfans model, coercion is eliminated by virtue of allowing people to express themselves, when they want and as they want in the privacy of their homes. They are the directors, gaffers, editors etc. and no one else can tell them what they can or can't do.

A decentralized system is better at taking power away from those objectively awful people than any regulation or personal tips or oversight could.

Thank you for the examples. I'm not sure std::function is a good comparison. After some research it seems this used to be in the spec, but it was removed because nobody supported it correctly and it seems it was too difficult to do it in a type-safe manner anyway: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2016/p030...

The other thing is that Zig doesn't seem to have any real plans to support C++-style closures right now. If they ever find a type-safe way to do it while supporting custom allocators, then that would be interesting, but at the moment I wouldn't say it's any better than C++ in this regard.

I actually have seen some C/C++ libraries that do allow changing the default allocator although it's usually only low-level libraries that bother to do this.

And I feel bad for those who pontificate over the lack of features for a language that’s easy to use, has a simple build system and allows for solving many classes of problems very easily.

Golang is popular for a reason. It is popular even among programmers that enjoy using other languages. No need to feel bad for programmers who are happily building things.
It totally depends on what kind of development work you want to do. Windows apps? Then get a Surface Pro or the like.

iOS or native macOS apps? Get a Macbook.

Web development? It doesn't matter as long as you're comfortable using the respective OS (macOS or Linux).

Data science? If you plan on using the built-in GPU for machine learning, don't get a Macbook. The 16" ones have AMD GPUs that aren't well-supported for ML, everything below has Intel GPUs which, while plenty powerful for day-to-day usage, aren't usable for ML. Get a Thinkpad or Dell with a Nvidia GPU and an Intel GPU, so you can use the dedicated GPU for ML exclusively. If you plan on running such workloads in the cloud (as many do) it doesn't matter.

Backend work? Depending on the backend, it won't matter. PHP, Ruby, Java, Scala, Python, Go, Rust, ... can be done on macOS and Linux equally well. ASP.net and the like will require Windows.

Devops-heavy work? If you expect to be running lots of VMs on your laptop, get a Linux laptop with as much RAM as you can cram into it. A 16" MBP with lots of RAM will do, too, but that's going to be pricey. If you can run such workloads in the cloud, it doesn't matter.

If you want the most versatile, also get a Macbook. It'll run Linux and Windows virtualized just fine, macOS natively, you can do Android development and iOS development, all in a single machine. Depending on your needs a spec-ed up Air may be powerful enough, still not exactly cheap though. That's what I do, but with a 13" Macbook Pro (plus GCP instances for ML training).

If you want to stick with Linux in earnest, and don't see yourself developing native macOS or iOS apps in the forseeable future, get a Dell or Thinkpad with good Linux support for your distro of choice.

My father worked delivering asbestos, every one of his co-workers that did front line deliveries are dead, mostly lung health related issues seemingly related to asbestos. My dad is in his 60's and fine so far.
De re Metallica 1500's on the other hand mentions dangers to workers and environmental harm that mining caused. I've also seen references to the Romans banning lead smelting in Italy. Better to force slaves to do that work at the fringes of the empire than give up productive farmland close to Rome.
It’s dangerous in a way that’s hard to monitor. If asbestos consumer products were being used hazardously or disposed of improperly, it could go unnoticed for a long time and linger in the environment. Compare to something like lithium ion batteries, which are pretty dangerous if mishandled, but very obviously so and only for short periods of time.

Not that it matters, but reading the comment you replied to, it sounds like they are not shaped like human genitalia...
The real politics is actually on how they quickly realised calling it “Egyptian” was a mistake due to ownership claims, and proceeded to start calling their looted artefacts by their dynasty (i.e “Babylonian” or “Sumerian”) rather than the name of the country it was stolen from (“Ancient Iraq”) in a way of stripping the country away from its heritage.

The same tactic has now been employed in dismissing land claims or pretending that ethnic cleansing isn’t ethnic cleansing by hostile groups in the region since the 50s.

It boggles my mind how that is something you could actively want.
Very interesting. I can confirm the parent comment. I've got a kind of mumbling voice and am not a native English speaker, so Siri would not understand 60% of what I'm saying. While GA got everything I was saying every time, even when using a wired headset mic while riding a very noisy underground train.
Not sure how you can equate these two. Iraq invasion was driven by faulty intelligence gathered in secret by a spy organization. Here, we have millions of eye witnesses and tons of corroborating evidence.
When I did the math for our house, despite a 13yen difference between night and day, the power wall never made recoup. The biggest issue is battery's limited life cycle and overall high cost.

The math worked out to 30 years before raw recoup. Once you add in a discount rate or life cycle would never justify itself. The per watt hour cost installed keeps to come down massively.

None of these are good examples. It's not the spelling. It's the pronunciation to native English speakers. "Rapey".

There's no point getting on a high horse about people being adults, etc. Marketing and advertising empirically work, and not because people are stupid. A lot of time and money is spent thinking up good names and trying to avoid names with embarassing connotations.

If a bunch of native English speakers are telling you that the name sounds bad to native English speakers, then it's worth at least considering rather than dismissing.

EDIT> Reminds me of Rational Rose .petal files.
Well I mentioned Fixed Wireless as well. Also, there's room for government in this. That's like suggesting highways, high-speed rail and airports should all be privately funded. In most cases, societies have chosen to make those projects the purview of the government.

> Apple explicitly allow for loading your own apps, your opening gambit is a flat out lie.

The context of this discussion distributing software on Apple's platform, not installing your own software. Your own software is not market competition. The comments up-thread specifically cover this, so I don't know why you would think I was stating otherwise in a general sense, rather than working within the context of the discussion.

So, can sideloading be used as a way to distribute software you want to sell? Not legally, based on the restrictions Apple has put in place for sideloading. The closest you could get to my knowledge would be the enterprise program, which is only intended to be used to distribute software to employees.

There's also the point that the hoops required to successfully sideload an app are themselves a fairly large wall to being able to use it even at the level of a single person wanting to install something, even if it wasn't disallowed by different agreements you must make to do so.

There are apps for windows that allow cropping pdfs and/or reflowing. I generally avoid the latter and have found that cropping pdf's almost always works well enough.

Most documents have more than enough margin that the final cropped document is then readable on the RM1. (Eventhough I wear readers I don't like to see microtype). Those same programs can also be used to split two column papers.

RM1 has a built in crop tool but I find it slows things down a bit and it won't work to split a two column layout.
That's ten 10W LEDs which is enough for most moderately sized rooms, and you can just run another cable if need be.

Most nuclear plants in Europe can do 5% per minute changes. That is not as quick as for gas turbines, but also not really slow. Load following is just not used very often, because you usually regulate down your most expensive power source (gas), not a cheaper one.

Not from the top of my head. But I seem to recall Trump saying that we're going to require shutting down, or require masks (don't recall the details), and various governors telling Trump that no, we're not going to, and you can't make us.

It's not just the danger in consumer products. Asbestos mining is incredibly dangerous and has led to serious health problems for thousands of people.

I see I totally agree with what you said. I have always thought about buying a macbook but i always remained hesitant due to it’s high price but what I believe is it’s worth its price I don’t plan to do machine learning for that you probably need a heavy machine such as a desktop with GPUs. But coming from a Linux world I wanna settle on one stable os instead keep distro hopping i might just go with macbook
That's pretty cool. Definitely would get younger me to stop groaning and sighing for the remainder of the shopping trip, it's unique, and the price seems reasonable.
Feels obvious in retrospect, because both brands have a pretty similar vibe (at least for me). I don't really get it, though – is this fundamentally different from a plain old Lego Starter Set, apart from the nicer box?

No offense intended to you at all, but "the way the word rings in current English" seems super subjective. Personally, the notion of "rape" never even occurred to me when I heard this name.

Incidentally, unlike "rapier", words like "raptor" and "rapture" are directly related to the word "rape". These words can be clearly traced back to ancient Greek (meaning something like 'to seize violently'), and perhaps beyond.

>On the IRC side you seem like a normal user as well.

Until you accidentally start using Matrix features that don't translate well.

Eg your matrix client will let you post large messages. On the IRC side this will generally appear as

foo[m] send a long message: <https://matrix.org/some/long/url/uNiQuEcOdE>
<foo[m]> How do I fix this?

and now IRC users have to open a browser to answer your question.

Also I've heard that if a Matrix user edits their message, the bridge resends the whole message to the IRC channel. I've not experienced Matrix users repeating themselves with tiny differences, so I can't confirm this.

Thankfully this is rare, at least in the channels I hang out in. But in general I have a dim view of all these protocols that attempt to interop with IRC - they all have some form of impedance mismatch that causes jank. The worst one was probably gitter, where its users were used to posting kilobytes of code in markdown code fences because the browser UI would collapse it by default so it'd look fine, but their IRC bridge sent the whole thing line-by-line to all clients. And if the gitter user edited that code block, the bridge would send the whole code block down again. I disconnected from that thing as soon as it happened to me (The fact that its IRC impl was broken and required me to patch my client was also part of the reason.)
You can get a money order without a bank account. There's often a limit on the amount, so in some cases you may need to buy several in order to amass the full balance. You may also need to show ID.

You can also cash a money order without a bank account.
And if I recall correctly, they can't even tell you that it is possible to purchase books outside of the app. Which I find ridiculous.
>n other words, it's only "undeniably true" in a direct democracy, where the people vote to decide on everything. Otherwise, you have the same centralization of power (a representative by definition has more power than their constituent), and you have to hope that they will act in the public good. I'm not sure that you can reasonably claim that every person in Congress today is virtuous.

Direct democracy doesn't mean that everyone votes on everything, and I never claimed that the US is democratic enough to fulfill that criteria. The US is at the very best a flawed democracy, and there can be as well as are much better system.

>That's for sure a popular claim, but it's not really backed by any evidence other than the way a handful of people feel. And that's largely driven by ideology rather than mass empirical evidence. The entire developed/industrialized world largely operates on economic self-interest, and life in the 21st century is, by pretty much all measures, better than life at any other time in the past.

The entire point of the claim is how people feel, because that's literally how you measure alienation and well being. There is no point living in a society with amazing material plenitude if the rest prevents your well-being. How good life is is measured solely through subjective and social measures, not by the quantity of consumption, which is almost irrelevant. There is tons of data behind this, the marginal happiness brought by greater material wealth goes to almost zero after you hit a ccertain threshold, and that threshold largely corresponds to ensuring baseline needs, then material security and finally freedom and social status related to material consumption in our society. Nowhere is there any study that seems to indicate that happiness and well-being are related beyond basic needs to absolute (and not relative) economic output.

Therefore, your argument bears no solid relation to your claim. Furthermore, there have been tons of analysis and studies of why economic self-interest is fundamentally alienating, and it boils down to the fact that in a competitive system pursuance of economic self-interest necessarily requires loss of agency.

Different market. Guys, this is just marketing which empirically works. It's hilarious to listen to a bunch of developers who are probably not that good at marketing opine about how this name is just great.

I mean to be empirical one could focus-test. But a controlled focus-test is probably out of reach for a lone developer on a hobby project.

Sure. Getting rid of sidewalks means that the entire street becomes a sidewalk. This means that traffic becomes much more distributed amongst parallel streets, and that pedestrian density drastically falls as a result by an order of magnitude or more. The result is that cohabitation between pedestrians and cyclists becomes much easier, as I have noticed when my city did exactly this as a result of the pandemic.
