It may be within your control, but it's essentially irrelevant. All livestock and manure cause <4% of the average American's emissions (bottom chart):
http://css.umich.edu/factsheets/carbon-footprint-factsheet

The emissions from grains etc add up to roughly as much overall- you don't eat the entire plant and it either rots or gets fed to cows. Obviously reducing emissions in our food industry is a huge win- eliminating red meat would be awesome. It's nowhere near good enough. Fossil fuels are 30x more important, easily.

> It’s obviously illegal, it’s obviously corruption, the only question is how much does society want to tolerate it.

It’s not obviously illegal to me. Corruption yes, but it’s legal for me to mention during a traffic stop that “my brother is on the job”, these cards are just a physical manifestation of that statement, and it’s legal for a cop to exercise discretion in handling the stop.

It’s corrupt, but I’m not convinced it’s illegal.

It is not really hard. You can use the exact same scheduler you would use for stackless coroutines.

For example in C++ land you can use boost.asio to schedule both stackless coroutines and boost.fibers (or whatever have you). Boost.asio predates both and doesn't care.
It's called an "FX Rate" not an "FX price". You apply a rounding as part of the transaction. The amount settled is not a rate, it is a monetary amount.

The price quoted on the market is the amount settled for one share. If it is not, then it is not really the price of one share.
While I completely I agree, I believe the appeal of electron comes from being easily cross platform with a single and consistent UI and most of the code being shared between platforms. I don't know of many stable frameworks that can achieve that while being able to easily create decent looking UIs. The only other one I saw was JavaFx. But even then, you will still need separate codebases for web and native.
Yes, that's not a good primitive. You need some delimited form of call/cc.
Here's a personal anecdote when I realized that perhaps "knee medical issues" are not "medical issues" at all:

I was once running and my knee started hurting. I kept running and it kept hurting.
I then saw that the reason my knee kept hurting was because I was using the wrong shoe, or was running not at the right form. After I changed these, the knee didn't hurt no more.

Had I gone to a physiotherapist or an orthopedist, they would've put me into surgery for ACL/MLC reconstruction and 6+ months of therapy so my knee worked again.

I would still be running after the surgery, not understanding why my knee would hurt. I wouldn't have made as much progress in understanding what I actually wanted from my knee.

Don't be daft. They'll argue that in the exceptional case of state security, exposing any kind of secretive information (illegal or otherwise) is still a crime. They'll just argue that only "normal citizens" shouldn't be barred from reporting criminal activities.

Of course it is bullshit .. but since when did that stop them? Exceptionalism has been the key word, used almost every time the government violated a laws or moral boundary (both domestically and abroad).

Why would anyone expect sense, from a government that will never receive actual jail time from any national court, in a country were potential punishment appears to be the main motivator for powerful people to not do everything illegal?

Why on earth would anyone still expect any sense, after the USA went as far as creating laws to justify military invasion of a foreign country, if an international tribunal would ever charge them with violating international law?

Why are so many American citizens still so naive about the real nature of their own government. Always thinking it's the other party that's the bad guys .. never wanting to accept that the party really doesn't matter (just ask any foreign country that received an unhealthy dose of "freedom and democracy").

I had a similar situation, although I had already been diagnosed with anxiety and depression multiple times. Medication never had a positive impact other than temporary fixes for anxiety so I reject any daily antidepressents.

Last year I was in a similar work situation but did decide to go to therapy as a kind of check to see if my feelings seemed warranted or if it was maybe something else.Ultimately decided to leave that job. It took 8 months for me to figure out what I wanted to do and actually start working again.

Extremely happy I made those decisions as I've doubled my salary, left an industry that was wrecked by COVID and got into one that has had accelerated growth for the same reason. I think it's good to trust your instincts, even though we both made different decisions they seem to have been the right ones for our particular situations.

But not as good as an actual KVM switch. I use this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07F8NVMH7

It also does 4K at 60 Hz. You can switch via the keyboard (uses scroll lock as a shortcut). It has worked flawlessly for me and is only £86.

The only real downside is that it is yet more wires, and it can only switch one video signal. If I had two monitors I'd probably go with this guys solution.

I have a codebase in which the naming convention somehow went so wrong that many classes with "Factory" in the name were made in some kind of Factory class, but are not themselves factories :/

It also has classes with "Iterator" in the name that are not iterators. They're containers, over which you CAN iterate. You'll be pleased to hear, however, that the actual iterator is NOT named an "IteratorIterator". The name of the actual iterator class contains no clue that it is an iterator.
It may be of interest for attackers that have no visibility into your network and make cross site attacks against you easier. For example, if I know that your router is available at router.network.internal, I might just try and see if your browser is logged in and send you a link to a page that starts making requests against that interface. Enumerating network resources can certainly be done via other ways, but DNS is a particularly easy one.

Nations may of course enforce their own laws while foreign nationals are on in their jurisdiction, but once they are outside that jurisdiction, they are at the mercy of the foreigners' home country for extradition. If that country doesn't care to extradite, they're out of luck (barring extraordinary rendition). Delegating the investigation to an international body doesn't change that (not to mention that the US is not a part of and has been actively hostile toward the ICC).

The fact that the ICC counts many nations as members certainly makes it feel like the US should cooperate on moral/ethical grounds, but it has no legal requirement to do so.
Trump's pardoning of Snowden would lose more presidential election support than it would win. Sure, there are plenty of people who would support the decision to pardon Snowden, but I can't see them being the type of people to vote for Trump based on that. Existing Trump supporters, on the other hand, I could see "punishing" Trump for his weakness in pardoning a "traitor who fled to Russia".
Why are OOP and FP (Functional Programming) discussed as the only two alternatives, in this thread? Another comment a bit earlier than this one also seemingly made this assumption.

There are other programming paradigms and there are of course multi-paradigm languages. As a for instance I do most of my work in Prolog these days (because PhD) which is a logic programing language, so neither OOP nor FP but, er, well, LP. There's many logic programming languages that mix multiple paradigms like Logtalk (LP and OOP), Visual Prolog (LP and OOP) Mercury (LP, OOP and FP), OZ (LP, OOP, FP, constraint, concurrent) etc etc.

I mean, I understand that OOP and FP may be the only relevant paradigms in a particular context- but, in that case, what is the context that is assumed in this thread? Web development? App development? Games development? AI? Data science? Embedded systems? Compiler writing?

EDIT: I guess this "OOP or FP" thing reminds me of myself at my first undergrad CS year. I knew a bit of JS/HTML/CSS, a bit of Java and C#, a bit of SQL and had heard of C and C++ so I was trying to place them into categories, like "C#, Java and C++ are OOP, C is procedural, that's it, there's no other paradigms". Then, in the second year I met Prolog and it kind of blew my mind. It's good to have one's mind blown like that, though it stings at first when one realises how little one knows and how many assumptions one built on such little knowledge. One feels a little dumb. But one quickly gets over it because there is suddendly a world of interesting new things to learn.
As neuroscience advances, what is the likelihood of truly novel color experiences?

I don't mean discerning ever finer gradations in existing colors, but entirely new color qualia.

What would it be like? Would our brains be able to integrate this new phenomenal experience?

And most importantly, if color is a property of brains rather than something in the external world, does that imply the number of "possible colors" is infinite? I.e. seeing as biological brains "choose" how to internally represent a particular wavelength of EM radiation, is the seemingly Platonic realm from which these colors are plucked from inexhaustible?

We currently have aesthetic preferences over existing colors. I would want to know whether these possible colors can be enumerated, searched through, and have a utility function placed over them so that each human can find what is to them "the best possible color."

The fact that some ISPs, and even VPN providers, block p2p connections means that there is a lot of interest in doing so. Not necessarily by the "populace", but pushed by whoever feels their interests are being affected.
A lot of it is/was driven by the historical instability of the C++ ABI, itself driven by instability in the language. If you made an object with a C based pattern, you could export a binary compatible interface and use dynamic linking. If you exported the same object as C++, even if it boiled down to the same thing, your users might get crashes because two compilers disagreed on the right way to compile it.

That's the origin of COM. It's basically the C mything_mystruct pattern with a lot of additional stuff on top. Actual COM objects were usually implemented in C++ though.

If you look closely enough, that is. It’s happened to me that I saw a useful product, only remembered its rounded down price when later discussing a potential purchase with my girlfriend, decided to buy, then realized I fell victim to this sales tactic. I imagine that happens a lot more often than someone getting useful information out of the price tag (not) ending in 99. It’s not a big deal either way, just a bit dishonest IMO.

I think that's an uncharitable interpretation of what the parent said (they did not pass any judgment for or against the current state of affairs), and there's nothing "pseudo" about it; the US has no legal obligation toward the ICC whatsoever.

For the record, I think the US should be a member of the ICC, but we're not, and the US Congress passed a law many years ago instructing the executive branch to protect US servicemembers from the ICC. That's just the legal reality.

I think your comment is a very round about way of saying that you should keep your code base as simple as possible. Just because your language can do OOP doesn't mean you have to. Not everything needs inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation. Point free style is also something that lends itself to abuse in FP. At some point you're losing more than you're gaining. With more experience you learn to just keep it simple and boring.
I was a freshman CS student in 2007 and this was the language that I learned in CS 101. I wonder how common that was.

Frankly, that was my first exposure to programming, and I thought the language was strange enough and the prof wasn't good enough, so switched majors. Still the only formal programming education I've had.

Good article! I very much agree about C and C++ being philosophically different. When ever someone asks me a C programmer if I want to switch to Rust, I think “but thats a replacement for C++ not C”.

I think the ship has sailed on proper compatibly, and thats ok with me, let them be different. More compatibility is not worth braking any existing code.
That could be cheap or expensive. Is it one-off? Per seat? Per team? Monthly? Yearly?
> Is there anything special that other languages do to make race conditions less likely than they are in Go?

Yes, other languages provide you with more tools than the basic nuts and bolts. For example a language might provide you with a "parallel for" primitive that is well tested.

The issue is not exactly that Go's concurrency stuff is bad, it's just that it doesn't give you much help so you have to implement it all yourself. Also the lack of generics means it is difficult to write libraries for this stuff.

The "zero-cost abstraction" concept is that you don't pay for something you don't use. If you use a smart pointer, you pay for it. If you don't use a smart pointer, it's zero cost.

Any argument that smart pointers are not zero cost to the language because they have a cost when you use them is a classic straw man argument.

I like DNS challenges, but I don't see how it matters for deprecation of an ACME challenge type. The dns-01 challenge could just as easily for some reason need to be deprecated.

The two likely reasons for such deprecation would apply just as well:

1. Updated Baseline Requirements or a programme policy requirement at any of the major root trust stores could forbid this challenge or require it to be substantially modified, obsoleting it in its current form.

2. The BRs don't change but Let's Encrypt finds they need to adjust this particular implementation in a non-compatible way so they deprecate the current challenge.

It can be easier to do DNS challenges, but it can also be very rough, depending on all the moving parts in your system.

As I mentioned in another thread installing Magic Wormhole is _easy_, just "brew install magic-wormhole" or "sudo apt-get install magic-wormhole" (or distro equivalent). Windows might be tricky but don't see how croc does it much better. I hadn't heard of Scoop but seems like you'd need to install _that_ first (which has its own dependencies). That said I haven't used Windows in many many years, maybe Scoop is the standard nowadays like Homebrew is for Mac? In which case I'd give a point to croc.

Also, with a Go app you could just share/distribute the binary, but then you also need to know where to put it. And you could do that with Magic Wormhole as well.

Or a step better like using something like PyInstaller (wonder why author hasn't done that?)..
Yes, but only because the US and Germany have an extradition treaty[0]. And even then, I assume the US government could still refuse to extradite for various reasons.

The US has no such treaty with Afghanistan, and is not a party to the ICC.

Whether or not the US should cooperate with the ICC is another matter, but the US has no legal or diplomatic obligation to do so. And in fact the US executive branch is required by US law to actively thwart ICC action against US servicemembers[1].
