>Right to repair and user-replaceable batteries have nothing to do with each other whatsoever.

I never said they are the same, my statement on 'Right to repair' ends with this -

> I feel sad that we need to educate and demand 'The Right to Repair'.

Rest of my comment are about user-repairability and I disagree that it's just a matter of personal preference. In most parts of the world, electronics recycling is unheard of; longevity of a device is improved when there are user-replaceable parts. Even in the countries where there is proper electronics recycling infrastructure - there are numerous complaints on how these products are becoming harder to recycle(especially the batteries) by 3rd party recycling companies.

In short, environmental pollution is not a matter of personal preference and everyone has a right to demand good practices from the manufacturer for the sake of the planet.

> We need better education.

Absolutely.

> The wealthy have very good schools.

Yep.

> Democrats protect wealthy schools from undesirables by preventing people from choosing which school their kids can go to. Unions slow societal progress (Police and Teacher’s unions for example)

Aaand you lost me. This sort of poorly thought out Ayn Rand POV is unfortunate to see so often here on HN.

I'd also wager that your blaming of democrats here is obviously flamebait and is against the rules. There's no interesting discussion to be had when you just dismiss an entire portion of the population right off the bat. Nothing to engage with when you've already decided I'm part of some conspiracy to keep kids from having a decent education.

Lots of people support the killing. When you look into the background of the 3 people shot, the reasons become obvious. The first person shot had attacked boys aged 9 to 11, raping 2 and molesting 3 others. The second person shot had a history of abusive relationships, including strangulation. The third person shot (surviving) was a burglar. That's 3 out of 3 being horrible people. Hitting a criminal in that crowd is like hitting a tree in a forest.

Remember that many people feel that a pedophile rapist should get the death penalty. They are offended by the fact that he was out on the streets of Kenosha chasing a boy. Some people, probably fewer, feel the same about the woman abuser. It is a common viewpoint that justice was served.
Hence the "non-essential" qualifier in their sentence.

And you do not get any benefits either. UK could drive identity theft to effectively zero, reduce the pandemic by moving mundane transactions online, reduce carbon emissions by making electronic signature widespread etc. etc. Yes, this would allow for privacy infringements. No, this has not happened in countries where such things are commonplace. Quite the other way around: since identity is vague and fraud rampant, service providers hoover up data to manage their risk. Since lack of identity means no meaningful interoperability, hundreds of copies of your personal data float around waiting to be sold. How is all that giving people more privacy?

Such examples speak more to C++ templates as a mechanism for capturing usage patterns in a convenient form, thus effectively creating a special-purpose, domain-specific language, than they speak to such templates as a meta-language. "Meta" means "information about information", so a meta-language in this case would describe the mechanisms used to capture such patterns, not the patterns themselves.

I do meta every day, meta-meta often, and triple-meta occasionally. The rules language for my Expert System is a true meta-language, because I designed it to (among other things) specify the manipulation of computer languages. So its domain knowledge is about the nature of computer languages and how to automate their assessment / analysis, transformation / re-engineering, translation, and generation.

To give a real-life example, we used our Expert System to automate the translation of complex compiler front- and back-end code from a proprietary system language to C++ for a major computer manufacturer. The translation rules don't really care what the code is doing; they care how the code is doing it. The compiler team created new templates and classes to provide the functionality their system language had that C++ doesn't, and we adjusted our translation rules to ensure that the translated code invokes those templates and classes in a clear, effective, efficient, and readable way.

+1 for Macports vs Homebrew.

When I first got a Mac about 4 years ago moving from Linux, the first thing I did was compare homebrew and macports.

homebrew was such a cluster-fuck in how it screwed around in /usr/local and its requirements for root etc, especially with Apple's move to basically own most of /usr under SPI.

Macports follows the BSD ports model and since Apple is a BSD based unix underneath, it makes sense. I haven't found anything I've needed that hasn't been ported.

It installs by default in /opt, which is where it should. When needed it will create the appropriate startup configurations for services as part of launchd and in the correct locations.
An interesting observation from this line of work (based on other articles in the area): the silence of owl flight depends on the frequency of the sound. Mice have a range of frequencies that they can hear. If you line up the two curves, you can see evolution in action. Owl flight becomes quieter just at the low end of the sound frequency that mice can hear.
If your conclusion is correct but not actually supported by you premises the you are correct only by coincidence, lacking true understanding. Probing the premises upon which a conclusion is made, pointing out flaws, and then pointing out stronger reasons... That process strengthens an argument, it doesn't weaken it.

The article says nothing about them switching to rust. They implemented a specific data structure in rust using elixir NIFs (native interface). This is equivalent of calling a C library from other languages.
This depends on your age group and country of origin I would think. If you are between the age of 16 and 30 and in a western first world country, then yes - you would be an outlier. If you were 60 -70 years old from Mongolia, then no.

Do you have a source for the IVC use of milk? I'm not familiar with any direct evidence that the IVC consumed milk or milk products. They did rear animals that can be milked, but it doesn't necessarily follow that the IVC used them for milk rather than meat.

The lactase persistence variant found in India, 13910T, is the same as prevalent in Europe, and likely arrived with Steppe pastoralists - after the fall of the Indus Valley Civilization. If the IVC had widespread lactase persistence mutations developing independently of the Steppe, you'd expect other variants to show up in the population, but it doesn't. Lactase persistence in India also closely tracks Steppe ancestry, suggestive that the IVC were largely lactose intolerant. They did have significant cattle, and were the birthplace of Zebu cattle domestication.
There are bacteria that can eat nylon, a man-made molecule. Nylon was invented in 1935 and these bacteria were discovered in 1975. The enzymes used by these bacteria only work on nylon.

Bacteria have much shorter generations and this facilitates rapid evolution.
Things look quite different in biostatistics research and adjacent fields. I personally use vscode, nano, and rstudio. But I am still mostly wetlab. People in my research group use some combination of these, maybe atom, and I am sure some of them like vim or emacs, but I haven't asked. The python guy uses vscode instead of intelliJ. I haven't seen anyone use vscode over RStudio, for R. But some of us will occasionally preference R intepreter in the terminal.

I love my emacs commands and I have a .emacs file with various snippets and packages like any good user, but I've been finding myself using it less and less.

First it started with front end development. I couldn't get emacs to play nice with syntax highlighting modern front end. I could get JSX highlighted OR I could get TypeScript highlighted. Not both. I started using WebStorm and discovered that the emacs keybindings were pretty good! Not perfect but the best I've found outside of emacs. And the refactoring! So nice, so convenient.

I still used emacs for various languages. Ruby, Python, then some Rust. I wrote a solid amount of Rust in emacs. But then my Rust projects started growing, I started wanting automatic refactors and good type info. A couple times setting up language servers on emacs had chastened me. So I switched to IntelliJ Rust. And damn, it's really nice. Same decent emacs keybindings, with really good language tooling. I can see the inferred type of a variable while I'm typing it out. I can refactor without having to run cargo all the time.

At this point I use emacs for writing blog posts, Python/Ruby, and config files. That's it. Oh and debugging wasm binaries. Hexl-mode is still unrivaled. It's a little sad though. I learned to program as I learned emacs. I like the idea of having a powerful, text crunching editor. But it's so damn inconvenient. Everything feels a little tacked on. Language servers are super brittle and hard to get right. Multiple cursors mostly work but aren't the first class citizens of IntelliJ.

If I had to provide a thesis on why emacs is failing me, it's because emacs was designed to manipulate text. It's incredibly good at that. But code these days isn't text. It's hypertext. It's a code graph that is automatically formatted, refactored and linked. Emacs can certainly treat code that way, but it's a lot of work and a lot of suffering that IDEs provide out of the box.

The more you learn about the bike industry the uglier it looks. For example Trek married itself to Lance Armstrong, in the era before he was proven to be a massive dope cheat.

It turns out LeMond was speaking the honest factual truth all along about what an absolutely terrible human being Armstrong was. All later admitted by Armstrong, and by members of the former US Postal team in sworn depositions.

I realised that the reason why I haven't bothered to learn powerful keyboard-based navigation controls, is because I'm almost totally distanced myself from using a normal mouse. I love using MacBook Pro trackpad more, and I feel restrained every time I use mouse.

This also affects the amount of hand movement: the trackpad is a lot closer to the keyboard, so navigating with it doesn't bother me that much. In the long run, I'm sure that learning stuff like the author would be a nice boost, but I don't simply feel the need.

> we are still focused on defining fairness from the POV of a single judge, and not from the entire integrated awareness of every participant in the community

Maybe I am misinterpreting your want, but this could be because some definitions of fairness directly contradict each other in some situations. So some unified view of fairness is not possible (in the view that I think you want).

There are some frameworks to trade to balance competing fairness definitions (https://www.cs.toronto.edu/~toni/Papers/icml-final.pdf).
