> It looks like Brendan held popular political views

That's a generous way to say he opposed equal rights for a minority group, some of whom he employed.
I like these a lot. Simple clean, clear. Thanks for sharing.

Also want to add https://thenounproject.com/ to the comments here. I'm not affiliated. It's not great for finding icon sets, but if you are looking for a one off icon of something obscure I've found it useful a couple of times now.
I can explain it this way:

If you were a Java/C/C# programmer in the 2000s, you missed out on:

* lambda abstractions
* Generics (prior to 2004)
* Higher-kinded Generics
* Primitives in Generic collections
* no nulls
* do-notation
* ML type system
* global, decidable type inference
* Pattern matching
* Functions as first-class objects
* Currying
* And most importantly *side-effect-free* functions

As a someone who picked up Haskell around 2010 as my first functional language, I liked what I saw, and I assumed that other functional languages were probably similar. My inner evangelist was all "You should use FP instead of Java, because lambdas are ergonomic", "You should use FP because nulls are bad", "You should use FP because functions are easier to test than methods".

Over the last decade I've realised that those statements aren't really truthful. Many functional languages allow null. Many functional languages won't enforce side-effect-free functions for you. So it was never really about FP, it was about Haskell. Anyway, that's how they got conflated in my mind.
Wow; I was impressed when I saw someone run an Agda program (rather than declaring success once it compiled).

My main gripe with dependently-typed languages is the amount of wheel-reinventing that's involved; e.g. I might have crafted a "ListOfIncreasing comparisonFunction" type, which is perfectly suited to the problem I need to solve, but then I find myself implementing a map function, a filter function, an append function, a length function, etc. Then I find myself needing a "length of appending commutes" lemma, and an "empty is left identity of append" lemma, and an "empty is right identity of append" lemma, and so on.

It's really nice when it works, as a nice self-contained little module; but any more can get exhausting. I haven't tried integrating Agda with Haskell, but that sounds like a nice tradeoff: do all of the "boilerplate" in Haskell (string plumbing, etc.) to get a "Maybe InputsForMyAgda" value, pass it into whatever tricky algorithm we've managed to implement thanks to Agda keeping us in check, then send the result back into Haskell for throwing into whatever external monstrosity we're interfacing with.
I'm not going to dig into this, but from other comments on this post, it seems he did make statements that walked back the position specifically regarding lgbtqqiaap+
That is solely your problem that you don't understand it's on you to verify information. You as a student don't have time to quickly look up basic information on topics? Then I suggest that you also don't have time to listen to 3-4 hour podcasts for enjoyment. I work 60 hours a week and I never understand that frail argument. If you buy into information spoken freely, it is solely on you. I understand that by you mentioning you are a student, you are likely quite young. 10 or even 20 years from now you many not even hold these opinions you are forming currently. You may wish to actually preserve free speech.

Who is fact checking your teachers if you don't have the time to do these things? Do you just accept that whatever your teachers are now telling you within a school setting are true, fact, or something you should follow?

I can think back 15-20 years ago to multiple things teachers told me to accept as true or fact that were really just a teacher pushing their own agenda/ideology or belief on an entire classroom of impressionable youths.
I don’t know about that being such an absolute. Personally, I feel pretty connected with people just being around them even if we aren’t interacting directly with one another.

It’s also fairly easy when living in a big city to know your neighborhood well enough that if you don’t want to be alone you can expect to run into one or two of a certain few people at different locations.

Like I know of I got to x,y,z coffee shop I can run into acquaintances of set X, Y, Z. If I want to grab a night cap at bar a,b,c I am run in to set A, B, C. And if I just want to be alone I can just wave and say hi.
I think the crushing atmospheric pressure at the surface makes us think about Venus in the wrong way and leads us focus on the wrong things.

Consider that for a very large portion of the earth's surface the crushing pressure makes it damned difficult to get a probe to the surface, and we already have the advantage of starting 5-6 miles away.

And while I realize Venus isn't an ocean world, comparing it to our oceans does open your eyes to the idea that a focus on the surface, that is sea floor, ignores where a lot of the interesting stuff is going on.

Of course there is still the temperature and the sulfuric acid . . .

"As a person from an upper caste background may I ask you why you think the criteria for reservation should be economic when the bias is because of caste?"

Quote from the article you have provided: "With money. Somebody who does not have access to money does not have access to “merit”."

And I agree with Yashica Dutt's analysis. It is true that irrespective of caste, if you have enough financial power, you can change your circumstances, particularly in India. Hence, it makes sense to have an affirmative action that benefits those who are economically underprivileged, than on basis of birth.
I've been running pi-hole for months. Haven't had a single issue since setting it up. I've never needed to restart it. I forget it even exists until my kid wants to disable it so he can watch ads to get some stuff in games faster, and I can do that from any device on the network.

I think I'm going to add what's needed to make it a print server too. Right now my oldest kids PC is the printer machine so we have to turn that on to print anything, which is a lot these days with 2 kids doing remote schooling.
That's funny. I grew up in a tiny town, and the gossipy busybodies just disgusted me. I literally heard a rumor about a family member before I heard the actual story from them once.

Panty-sniffing busybodies with nothing to do but mind other peoples' business are a major reason I've lived in cities since I had the option.
Not so -- Japan has criminal penalties for piracy and has arrested numerous people for it:

Oddly, Wikipedia is less clear on if anybody has been convicted, but being arrested is already sufficiently career-destroying (weeks in jail for interrogation etc).

But you can have 'static' with code splitting and send new files from the server on each route change.

That’s an average of about one request every 8 seconds. That that should be 31% capacity, I find alarming: it’d suggest that each page view is consuming more than two seconds of available system resources, which… wow. (My interpretation of your stated “31% capacity” could be way off base, but if I try to be as generous as I can imagine, this figure would still be comfortably within a decimal order of magnitude.) I would expect something fairly basic with no obvious errors to be able to cope with ten times this load with perfect equanimity, and something that claimed to be pretty efficient while still being Django/Postgres to support at least a hundred times this load, perhaps even a thousand; and if it behaved like a static site generator and produced stuff nginx could serve directly, it’d probably handle between ten and a hundred thousand times the load. (I say all this with no knowledge of the performance/load characteristics of Heroku, but assuming that each Hobby dyno is roughly equivalent to the average $5/month VPS. I could be completely wrong.) These figures I’m estimating also assume that all requests make it to the origin server; if you add Cloudflare to the mix and set your caching properly—and this site should be extremely amenable to aggressive caching—you should be able to drastically reduce the number of requests that make it to the origin server, especially on popular articles.

In short: these numbers aren’t adding up to me, so I suspect that either I’ve misunderstood or misinterpreted something, or there’s some simple low-hanging performance fruit to pick, some simple misconfiguration of e.g. template or data caching or DB connection pooling or something.
The big difference with Skynet is that you pay for professionals to pin the data on your behalf. It works better for unpopular files because you aren't relying on the uptime of people at home.

It also works better for popular files because the professionals generally have great bandwidth and good peering.

There are a bunch of other benefits as well, such as access to an api that allows skynet pages/apps to upload and download. For something like this you wouldn't use those endpoints but if you wanted to make say a decentralized blogger, you could use those endpoints to upload posts that users write.
The Conscientious Congressman's Guide to the Electoral Count Act (2004) [pdf]
I don't know about Australia but in Ireland most elections are done with proportional representation and the method is called Single Transferable Vote in that context (and has different properties). According to Wikipedia only the president (a role with little power) and by-elections are single candidate.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elections_in_the_Republic_of_I...

IMO, this is a great way to do it and the proportional representation part is more important than the details of voting method.
Encryption is a very easy copy paste of programs and Is free, guns are a complex physical device that cost money and must be manufactured elsewhere and distributed to sellers. There's a significant level in effective ability to use them.

But yes, it is similar. Distribution is so widespread that illigalization doesn't affect those who don't follow the law.
> On the other hand you're telling the other 50% that they do not deserve a right. All of them.

This sounds compelling, but what happens when you apply it to other issues? What will you say to the "taxation is theft" camp when they demand the right to the fruits of their labor and don't want them to be used to wage unnecessary wars?

Or are you fine with capitalists firing anyone who advocates for taxes to continue to exist?
Yep, and it is currently many times slower than CUDA version on Nvidia. Haven't had an opportunity to compare tensorflow-rocm with it on AMD yet.
CNN is also propaganda, it's just propaganda for positions that are closer to the truth. Same way that in WW2 both the US and the Nazis had propaganda, but the US propaganda was (much) closer to the truth.

In any case, it's a million times better to come to those conclusions via an unbiased source than via a biased source like CNN.
Meanwhile, Korea:

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/01/opinion/covid-face-mask-s...

Faced with a similar shortage of masks early in the year, the Korean government bought up the overwhelming majority of it's domestic mask production, and directed pharmacies to distribute them to the public at a fixed price according to a rationing system. As a result, every Korean has access to two N95-equivalent masks a week and the vast majority of Koreans wear them in public.

In Libertopia^wAmerica, the free market solution has trickled down unrated fabric masks to the general public and trickled up N95 masks according to the whims of Trumpworld.

In part due to universal masking with high-quality PPE, the South Korean death toll is 7 per million. In Galt's Gulch^w^wAmerica, the death toll is 597 per million.[0]

Government can work for the majority of people. The American free market does not.

I have a startup (SaaS, web-based tool for scientists to make molecular videos). Looking at your site, I don't see how to tell if this would have any value for me. What are these "directories"? Why would I care about being submitted to them? Maybe you should have more info about what the directories can do for a startup. Do they just drive random traffic? Create interest with investors? Increase my SEO somehow?
What is your hypothesis on why the UK, France, Germany, Norway, etc. have not just dictated new capacity into existence? If they could do that, then even if the US was uniquely sucking wind, we could just buy from them. We can't.
Perhaps. It's confusing though, that there are Atom server chips that are complete garbage, then some that actually pretty decent.
I don't think it's market fundamentalism, Trump is not a neoliberal. He just doesnt want to attempt to fix it. It could be racism, it could be his narcissism is such that if he tried to do something now he'd have to accept his failures from the very start, and that would shatter his fragile sense of self...

There is no market fundamentalism exhibited when it comes to other bailouts, only when it comes to trying to harm the least powerful in society.
Sure. Radioisotope thermal generators are standard issue on deep space probes but nearly unheard of in terrestrial applications, because there are so many easier and cheaper sources of energy on earth. If the best they can manage is a large, heavy reactor that produces a slow trickle of electricity that lasts for decades, that's viable for many autonomous space applications but nothing special on Earth, except maybe in a few remote applications like sensor platforms on the sea bed or inside volcanoes.

Maybe a little bit before that there were similar services for Shareware applications. These were typically free, or one-time purchase, however, and would submit your program to all the websites listed automatically. Although many of the sites were junk, the combination of a few good directories and the long-tail of a bunch of low traffic directories was enough to launch a new shareware program.

That's the service that came to mind for me when I read the headline.
Actors make their own production studios all the time.

That's why Hollywood unionized the way it did. A specific studio couldn't unionize because they would just get dissolved and reformed under a new LLC.

No actor or famous game designer is capable of creating a AAA movie/game by themselves. They need a lot of people to work on it.

The only difference is Hollywood the entire pool of workers unionized they have no choice but to hire a union worker.

Game designers/programmers need to follow the same formula. The two industries have exactly the same problem, Hollywood workers have been around long enough to figure out the solution.
I enjoyed how scared I felt in Amnesia until the first time I died and reloaded. After that the edge was gone.
No unfortunately not. The most important ones are code assets.

For instance I use heavily modified versions of:

- PuppetMaster from http://root-motion.com/
- Chronos from https://ludiq.io/chronos

Trying to fake the API surface area of these assets would be... hard. And without them the game is entirely non-functional.
There were devices alike smartphones in 2005. Pretty popular in Germany too. Maybe he had one of these, or just has a dumb phone (most had note taking abilities and calendars and notifications) but the editor changed it? Sony Ericsson had some very powerful phones, and Nokia too, both very popular back then. You could even run apps (J2ME), I had one for public transit schedules and one for school grades and timetables.

This one was wildly popular in Europe, earlier models had similar functionalities: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_K750

Japan has a very limited fair use law (see also Article 30[1]) to the point that a single frame capture from an anime is considered gray area unless it was used as a reference (引用) with a proper copyright attribution in the format of "(c) <Year> <Author>" usually obtained by visiting that work's home page^1. Though there's no clear line what is counted as a reference.

I think this is just Ghibli open up the possibility of using these images in those gray area (e.g. posting these shots on social media, referencing from a blog, etc.)

To me it's just, "the dot hugs a field, dot by itself is composition, and module names are capitalized."

While I wouldn't write f. g, if I see it, it's not hugging the field name so it's composition. I don't think I'd have trouble reading it.

But... it will probably trip up newbies and people with odd spacing styles. Hopefully GHC can give a useful error like "In the field selection expression f.g, g is a function defined on XX. Did you mean f . g?"

>Any self-respecting drug cartel and terrorist organization has been using modern encryption at all levels

There are plenty of organizations who by this logic don't. However they don't dissappear, even though we already have the tools available. If they're not capable of using the tools they have, why are they reaching for something substantially harder to do? There must be something else to it if they're not bothering to do what they can.

> It's strange to argue that this ought to have no impact on the ability of law enforcement to combat organized crime

Of course power grants you that, it grants you absolutely anything you want, just like setting a fire gets rid of the rodents in your house, along with the house. That is exactly why absolute power is not to be assigned to any single organization, it can't be contained.

There is also the expectation like anyone using encryption for malicious purposes wouldn't do it regardless of any law, just like criminals carry illegal weapons. Only the law-abiding citizens could therefore be targeted
If it's substantially more expensive per watt than solar, wind, and so on but can still be done compactly it could make sense for deep space probes that are too far from the sun for solar power.

Currently these are powered by capturing heat from decaying radioactive elements which is far from efficient or cheap.

Mostly I think that's just nasa justifying nasa doing this research though.
Good idea - but why? If the purpose is to make sure someone's human, bots are pretty good at cracking captchas. If it's to slow someone down, help them think before they post, then fine, but why a captcha? They are really annoying.

I suppose I am being glib, but...

This is not a vice reserved for the powerful. Politicians and whatnot certainly do nakedly make a principled argument one and the opposite the next. So does almost everyone. We do it especially when something is at stake, but we'll also do it to win an argument.

It's an irony of human nature. OOH, we're seekers of patterns, principles and consistency. OTOH, we're also highly adept at using these tendencies selectively and disingenuously.

..whether or not we prioritize power.
They're still under copyright to Studio Ghibli. It probably means "Please don't do anything with them which would force us to take notice and go after you with our lawyers."
Why are you assuming that policing is a video game where difficulty needs to be balanced?

“Hey sex-traffickers that know what they’re doing are telling all their people to switch to Signal. Since basically our only tools to connect people are phone location history, call logs, text messages, and maybe surveillance footage if we’re lucky, we’re hitting a massive brick wall in every investigation. Help?”

Like go listen to or watch some true crime podcasts and documentaries and see just how little police have at their disposal.
