Hm, I’m not sure where to start with your assessment here. Your comments on sorting don’t really seem relevant, I don’t think you’re referring to the same kind of compile time programming we’ve been discussing. There’s a difference between generic code, and code that runs at compile time, even though both might actually use the C++ feature of templates. C++ templates are way to write code that supports generics, but they are also a way to do a style of programming referred to as “meta-programming“, these are really not the same thing at all.

While you can certainly do without generics in the language, as proven by the success of many many languages, perhaps at the inconvenience of some developers, compile time meta programming is an entirely different area that only few languages really support. The high frequency trading firms and the game studios I have partnered with are typically using C++ specifically for those compile time programming features. They make dramatic performance differences in a wide range of highly specialized algorithms.

That's understandable, you learn one tool - hammer at 20, you treat all problem as nail. Screws? Hammer it and lock with duct tape. Later on you learn another tool - screwdriver. Now you see screw, you use screwdriver to tighten it.

The problem is it takes years to learn one tool, and it take years to see one case as screws, another as nails, etc.

EDIT: OTOH, as you gain more experience, you can classify problem better and look or even develop tools that solve that particular problem. Which is why angular / react / vue is developed and popular.
I'm not sure panicked propaganda that's there to plead with lapsed Catholics to return to the fold is particularly representative of doctrine. It's advertising, so by its very nature is designed to be manipulative.

And using guilt to keep people in a belief system is just psychological manipulation. It doesn't matter if it works; it's disgusting and dishonest, the opposite of what these people laughably claim to believe in.

> people are good as long as you make it easy for them to be good.

It's not all that hard to press four buttons on a phone, wait a few seconds, and say some simple words about what happened and where. But no, that would distract from making a "cool" crash video to share on Instagram.

I get that my story is a third-hand story to you, and you have no idea who I am, so you have no idea if I'm relating it faithfully (or if I even know enough to relate it faithfully). But I know who I am, and I know the person who told me this story (and, after calling 911, took and sent a photo of the useless gawkers), and it greatly troubles me.
I have had similar thoughts. I think that's why exercise is so much more effective than medicine - it's making your lower physiological self think that you are doing something important and exciting. It also explains why people get so invested in the drama of others. In economically developed countries, we have far fewer life and death situations that help us appreciate it when things are going well.

The other difficulty is that our higher order functions know that exercise is, in the short term, a waste of energy and time. It's not getting us any more resources. I include myself in the subset of people with impulse and procrastination issues, which makes it very difficult to invest in things that pay off over the long term. Depression for me is being stuck in that hole, knowing there may be a way to feel better, but believing the world would be better if I was dead. Maybe my evolutionary contribution would have been as a martyr if I lived in a different circumstance.

More generally, healthcare suffers from the idea that there is "a" population. Our brains and bodies are unique, and until they can identify types of brain patterns and perform studies against those, it's really throwing pills at someone and hoping for the best. Some parts of science have entered into a dangerous dogmatic phase of "this is how we've always done it" which is the opposite of the point.

I would really like to see the mental health community rally behind getting people into recovery-style support groups where people encourage each other to socialize, eat healthier, and get more exercise. That would put all three of the most effective ways to fight depression and anxiety into practice. Of course then the problem is that prescribing virtually free services isn't in the economic interest of for-profit systems.

Not sure if any metadata other than the file name affects the hash—e.g. modification times. Chunk sizes likely do. Otherwise, I'd expect the hash to address actual content, though frankly I haven't checked.

Edit: in fact, my hasty, belated and superficial skimming suggests that IPFS is an implementation of just a DHT (presumably with some metadata and chunking built in)—i.e. it keeps data itself in about the same way that Bittorrent stores torrent descriptions in the Mainline DHT.

I like that the primitives types are so refined in Ada. That's something that is missing in a lot of languages. You can define subtypes or different types and ranges from the integer type for example.

A few years ago, I wrote a little blog entry about it: https://www.dialectical-computing.de/blog/blog/2011/05/08/de...
What did Trump show them though? That he's a populist? That's not useful for any foreign power unless they can reliably sway the American public.

Trump didn't show any strong ideological positions, it's not like there's a straight line running through 40 years. Trump is a wild card. You might argue that having a President that might do anything and everything in office is weakening the US, and that therefore strengthens other powers, but I'm skeptical that they're fine with "oh yeah, well, there's a 30 percent chance he watches an unfavorible documentary on Russia and goes into all-out Cold War mode".

I don't think Trump is too predictable beyond a) Trump wants what's good for Trump and b) Trump will do what American corporations and the generic establishment wants (aka strong military, only favorable trade deals, no international cooperations that might lead to having to change behavior the US profit from). That's essentially rolling the dice. You might win a car, you might lose your life. How many leaders of aspiring or former world powers are going to roll that dice?
Would just like to point out, Putin was on record in an interview talking about Snowden, and was pretty open about how these programs make sense from an intelligence point of view, and pretty much said that Russia is doing the same thing. He wasn't pretending like they're not doing the exact same thing. I believe it's somewhat of a don't hate the player, hate the game from the perspective of the CIA/KGB/what have you.

I don't know, if I'm trying to create an open-source project with the intent of making something that becomes useful and popular, I'm not sure I'd want to artificially limit the number of potential contributors by picking an obscure language.

What problem is this solving?

Seems like a lot of faff to get people worse prices.
Do you realize these two sentences say the same exact thing? You have a pain, which is a signal of a disorder, and you need to change something to fix it.

"At first I viewed the depression I started fighting in my teens as a scourge, a defect, something broken to be fixed."

"I have since come to see it as an important signal. When I am managing my life and mental states well, it often fades into the background. When it starts to flare up, like with some kind of physical pain, that's telling me I need to pay attention and change things up a bit."
I think practically this would have to be solved by the equity brokers. All the intermediary accounting done in fractions and only rounded once cash leaves the broker.
> You did have a metal disorder. You were just lucky to find the cause. The cause was job stress.

You could phrase it that way, but the fact remains that for me, I feel, there was an objective external cause to my unhappiness. It wasn't a spontaneous and inexplicable 'chemical imbalance in the brain'. It was a reasonable reaction to a shitty life experience.

> I have a mental disorder that was harder to find the cause. But I did as well.

Indeed I may have stated my conclusion too broadly. I'm sure there are problems out there that can't be fixed by changing your lifestyle/job etc. and that may require serious effort, therapy, medication.

Yup. Religious architecture is generally designed to make humans feel insignificant and powerless. Which is true, in the universal scheme of things, if you think about it. But religions use this as a carefully curated tool of propaganda, manipulation, and control.

I'm not a doctor, but I was also very surprised that this is "news" to the medical world. I has just always assumed that this was a well known thing, because it just seems completely logical to me.

Just asking "what could the evolutionary purpose of depression be?" should already lead to the conclusion that it's most likely a mental defense mechanism, or byproduct of one, that can most likely be triggered by experiences rather than just be part of a persons genetics.

But apparently it wasn't all that obvious after all.
It is thought provoking, and here the question to ask is: would the usual suspects in USA also be a "lot poorer" when the superpower is dethroned?

If you review George H W Bush's early 90s speeches, he was cryctal clear that "UN" would be the center of "a new world order" and not USA or Washington DC. The undeclared attack of 9/11 necessitated a change in the plans. (If you think US was attempting to "Shock and Awe" Iraqis, that is fine, but we would disagree on that ..)

By what law? I'm pretty sure that at the same time Germany allowed them in they also adjusted their policies to make access to jobs easy for them (https://www.oecd.org/els/mig/Finding-their-Way-Germany.pdf) German economy in general suffers from the lack of workers, which is the limiting factor for many businesses growth. If they could make a productive use of those "refugees" they surely would by now. They are not gatekeeping the job market.
Whistleblower protection are bit tricky to define.

When is something whistleblowing, when is it a leak, when is it malicious, and when is it espionage? It's easy to allow leaks about illegal acts, but if you start allowing leaks about secret but legal acts too, then things get blurry.

I personally don't think a government, ultimately a servant of the people, should be allowed to keep secrets from the people, but that's currently legal for e.g. military reasons, and thus needs to be considered.

Imagine for a second a parallel universe where the government wasn't evil, and while some of the released documents was showing illegal activity, others did not and in fact contained secret information about national security matters where releasing the information undermines the work (e.g. Russia/China/... monitoring, intercept measures, etc.).

> So a whistleblower has to spend how many years in exile before they get their vindication?

The legal system would be fundamentally broken if you could evade judgement by going into hiding, regardless of reason.

Snowden should have been pardoned a long time ago, but his time in hiding is and should be inconsequential from a legal standpoint until laws are changed and pardons are made. It's up to the citizens of the U.S. to fix their country and welcome him home.
Makes you wonder what was the motivation behind creating "Whistleblower protection" program in the first place.
US government is complicated. There ARE many good parts to it, and many good elected and unelected people who genuinely serve their people. There is also a big dark part to it as well. Issues with police that are being exposed recently and widely is one example. There is corruption. And there are extremely secretive and dark aspects as well, but the average person isn't aware of them, and would have a hard time reconciling them with the genuine good that I mentioned previously. Things are not black and white, and that's my opinion, a non-American who lives in the US.
I saw this a while ago with a startup I was working for, we did online grocery delivery for butchers, bakers, greengrocers and the like. Eventually we had to shut down because we ran out of money, but we did one final week of deliveries - that week was the biggest week we ever did, and the first to make a profit, if all the people saying how sad they were to see us go and making one last order had just used us instead of a supermarket every other week we’d still be delivering.
In Australia there is a case going on which is also prosecuting the whistleblower and his lawyer while the politicians that committed the crime get away scot free. The Australian govt ordered the bugging of the East Timorese cabinet room by the security services while negotiations into the sharing of gas rights were ongoing so they could get the upper hand over one of the poorest countries in the world. This also largely benefited the oil company Woodside who then gave various roles and contracts to the politicians involved when they left public life.

Keto “works” (which I assume you mean for weight loss) because it helps people get into a caloric deficit easier. High fat and moderate protein is highly satiating and helps people to eat fewer calories without needing to track calories closely. Of course, it’s also possible to gain weight if you eat at caloric surplus in Keto.

Also, since carbs are virtually eliminated, most of the weight loss in the beginning is water and glycogen.

Gaining muscle while losing fat is possible in a regular diet. That’s called newbie gains. And since you lost weight, your blood numbers improved.

Since keto works for you, it’s great. But I wanted to clarify that your result is not specially because of the keto diet. It can be achieved with just about any diet.
As BusTrainBus says, "installability" is useful, and it was one of my motivations.

I agree installation for magic wormhole is easy for Mac/Linux, but I think its not easy on Windows. Windows is very common (77% of the market share for desktops [1]) so I wanted to keep croc easy to install for Windows.

In fact, if you are just receiving a file on Windows, all you have to do is download the binary from releases [2], unzip it, and double click on the binary - no terminal experience required. (Sending a file does require using a terminal, but all CLI apps have that hurdle...).

> Whether this is worthwhile or not is debatable. Is the fact your internal server 'gubbins.mydomain.com' exists, or even that it exists on 10.0.41.43 really much use?

You're probably aware of tools such as dnsdumpster (dnsdumpster.com) that attempt to map internal networks using dns. It is common to use descriptive prefixes (eg. intranet, gw, fw, dns, jira, mysqldb, etc) that also give some insight on the internal tools and topology. Using the CT logs you can also collect over time changes in network, for servers/endpoints with non-wildcard certificates.

Its not a huge risk. But why give a map of the place to a potential attacker, when - as you quite well proposed - you can use simple ways of avoiding it?
That's a good point. Non-grocery items were a special trip, were rare, and usually involved months worth of purchases.
Yes, that happens. One thing I've found that has been helpful is identifying the stuff about idiomatic "language X" that makes it "good", and try to adapt some of those traits to the current situation. I can say as I've moved in and out of other languages and companies/clients/teams, I've been able to identify good habits and behaviors, sometimes those are a result of languages or tooling in different ecosystems.

That helps for 'solo' stuff. Trying to introduce those ideas and techniques in existing teams is almost always more difficult than it should be.

> As neuroscience advances, what is the likelihood of truly novel color experiences?

No need for neurosciences, just some fancy spectral filters like those on IMAX 3D glasses. With some practice using these glasses you can experience a six-dimensional color space. When you remove your glasses, this six-dimensional space collapses into the common three-dimensional color space. But with the glasses, you can distinguish many different colors that look exactly the same to regular humans. That white wall? It looks a perfectly uniform white to most people, but you can see clearly that two very different kinds of white have been used here and there.

A similar effect can be obtained indoors by lighting objects with monochromatic lights, but it is not as dramatic as with glasses.

> A real advantage of depression is you won't challenge authority

Not true. It can give a fatalistic outlook and raise aggression. I know a (depressed) guy that almost got himself killed in traffic, because he would rather die than yielding to a pushy road user.
Thank you, yes, I said the same thing in another reply.

I am Bipolar getting by without meds. I do not have a disorder, I have a difference. So I need to live and eat differently.
Largely because articles like this generally focus on what I think of as “layman’s depression”, or “layman’s anxiety.” That is, a mild form of the condition that straddles the gray area between “personality” and “mild personality disorder,” that diminishes quality of life in a perceptible but not devastating way.

Then you go work on a psych floor and meet people whose depression is so severe it induces catatonia; people who look and feel like zombies and who would end their lives if given the chance; people whose depression comes with a healthy side-order of delusions. Extreme things that render someone incapable of even mild functioning.

Or severe anxiety - patients whose worry comes from no external stimulant, renders them incapable of anything but physically sickening levels of worry, and if you manage to somehow help them reason through the thing they are currently worried about ... find a new thing to attach their emotions to. Look at something like OCD, wherein one - for instance - May obsessively wash hands to stymie an overpowering anxiety that ones house may burn down (OCD sometimes has logical triggers between ritual and anxiety; often not.)

Interpreting that as “an adaptive response” is ridiculous.

An adaptive response “taken too far”, on the other hand, is the very definition of wide swaths of disease - autoimmune, cancer, etc.

I find the “gosh it’s just cultural mismatch” theory to be a modern stigma against mental disease. You can break any bone or system in the body - except for neuro/behavioral, that’s just another type of person that needs some cultural adaptation. /That’s/ never really broken.
