A lot of the developing world are still deeply homophobic. Are all those people morally bankrupt and unworthy of a place in the hallowed gardens of equality?

Maybe a point of view is crafted through a life's worth of conditioning and experience. We seem comfortable accepting that fact when considering social conditioning over other issues, but when it comes to conservatism we draw the line - they are the evil others.

Unable to see how they are the sum of their life's experiences we draw up the lines, dig in our heels and choose our side - and in doing so force the other group to take a side.

I have a lot of family who have views which would terrify liberals, but I know these people are also not evil but just have had their own life circumstances shape their views.

Maybe people need to travel outside their comfort zones a little more...
Seeing the article about the "Transputer" was interesting especially given the announcement of the UK government's investment into quantum computing.

Garbage collection is also limited, you can still effectively create “memory leaks” if you hold a reference to something you’re not longer using.
All those are just ways to avoid actually using the GC. Which proves the point: GC is ineffective and works best when not used at all.

The future is not garbage collected.

To me there's a bigger question of: are the lattes or the 60k car actually bringing you joy? especially when had regularly? Most people if asked what brings them happiness it's quality time spent with loved ones, self improvement, or bringing other people joy- things like this. But then we forget about it and act like not having a latte regularly will negatively impact one's happiness over the long term.

Many local Polish authorities declared themselves "free of LGBT ideology". While legally unenforceable under current law, it still has had a big effect in terms of behaviour and public discourse.

> I'm not aware of any significant persecution or hate towards gay people in Poland

Then you need to stop burying your head in the sand. Gay, queer and trans people are attacked all the time, and they have a very strong reason to be afraid. Public institutions are encouraging the aggression, because it serves the interests of those in power.
See my sibling comment about Django. You can spend a day to build this. And maybe a few hours later for small fixes for corner cases found in production. And then explain to your colleagues.

Or you can spend a few hours to learn a tool that has tutorials online (where you can point newcomers). When you move to another project, you can take your little tool with you, but you will need to start again teaching and convincing teammates.
Not the prior poster. The reason it is a Russell Teapot is that the claim is unfalsifiable - it cannot be tested.
I think this would be a per-thread state which you toggle, defaulting to "off". Then instead of checking and branching after each operation you flip it on/off depending on the type of arithmetic you want. The trick would be to get to the minimal number of toggles and not do the "safe" thing and set it to on/off for each operation.
The $1 figure in the headline is clickbait as it’s only the cost of components for the PCB. Add the PCB + mechanical components + battery + plastic enclosure + assembly + testing + factory margin + overhead and it would be a miracle to come under the cost of existing low-cost hearing aids.

> Even my blog has never been so systematically subject to shadowbanning from Twitter and Facebook as now. Normally about 50% of my blog readers arrive from Twitter and 40% from Facebook. During the trial it has been 3% from Twitter and 9% from Facebook. That is a fall from 90% to 12%. In the February hearings Facebook and Twitter were between them sending me over 200,000 readers a day. Now they are between them sending me 3,000 readers a day. To be plain that is very much less than my normal daily traffic from them just in ordinary times. It is the insidious nature of this censorship that is especially sinister – people believe they have successfully shared my articles on Twitter and Facebook, while those corporations hide from them that in fact it went into nobody’s timeline. My own family have not been getting their notifications of my posts on either platform.

The last sentence is what strikes me the most. Maybe he was being paranoid but if your own family is telling you they are not getting a notification then something is wrong.

> Freedom of speech is no more absolute there than in the EU exactly because no one wants people "shouting fire in a crowded theatre".

In the US, only direct incitements to violence and mayhem are not protected (like your example). In the EU they take this much further to outright ban all speech deemed hateful. That's not the same restriction.

> Similarly, in the USA you can be fired for wearing a hijab just as rapidly.

Absolutely false. That kind of discrimination is against the law here[1]. I'm sure it still happens, but the wronged party has the ability to fight discrimination in court. In Europe, the opposite is true. The employer has a legal right to ban Hijabs and religious dress.

> Recent rulings even allow employers to compel religion or ban lgbt etc

Can you explain this more? Any info I find says the opposite[2].

> This is the weakness of the US system: it protects a small number of limited rights very strongly, but only a small number and only against govetent interference. The EU has a much broader approach to rights in both these dimensions.

This comes back to a fundamental disagreement about what rights are. For the Bill-of-Rights type rights, Americans do have much more robust protections than Europeans, and not just from governmental interference. There is better religious / racial employee protections, you have a greater ability to defend yourself against people violating your property rights, etc.

For fluffier rights, like "the right to respect" or "the right to free $governmentService", you are better off in Europe. But they do not protect these rights to the same degree as American Bill-of-Right rights. For example, in every German citizen has the right to healthcare, but they have a compulsory insurance scheme to pay for it. They call that a 'right', but its something different than in the American definition.

The question is how much more expensive then a overflow checked add, which is mostly likely not as cheap as a non checked add.

I mean in the end both do a non checked add and then branch on the carry. One does it implicitly and branches to an interrupt and one does it explicitly and branches however you like it.

(Slightly) Increased chip complexity should be included in the choice, too.

I guess the main difference would/could be if used with some form of branch prediction.

Hydroelectric power isn't quite as clean as many believe though.

>We estimate that GHG emissions from reservoir water surfaces account for 0.8 (0.5–1.2) Pg CO2 equivalents per year, with the majority of this forcing due to CH4.

https://academic.oup.com/bioscience/article/66/11/949/275427...

That's between 2% and 3% of our global greenhouse gas emissions. About three quarters of greenhouse gas emissions come from energy production and about 15% of all energy production is hydro power if I recall correctly.

It's much better than fossil fuels, but not quite clean.
I struggle with this issue. On the one hand, I think clear incitement to violence is a line that free speech shouldn't cross, so Facebook really should have deleted posts calling for some people to be burned more quickly.

On the other hand, the idea that Facebook is culpable here seems to take for granted a large chunk of Ethiopians who'll just do what they're told by Facebook posts, which seems to give very little credit to the Ethiopian people or the ability of their government to maintain order. In that sense, it feels prejudiced and patronizing, like arguing that Facebook needs to police its Ethiopian presence because Ethiopia can't police itself.

Michele Moore movies optimize for publicity, not scientific accuracy.

There are some truths in the movie (e.g. biomass would not work), but many times he is plain wrong. E.g. 8% solar efficiency, when my neighbours installed 21% one and 15% is common on utility scale. No solar panel on the market has just 10 years+ lifespan, many come with 20+ year warranty and could still produce energy afterwards with tiny decrease in efficiency.
This is irresponsible at best, dangerous at worst.

It seems to me that FB is still a little short on ecological engagements. At least, compared to Google.

Well, the defence is trying to turn the process into a “make the hearing about literally everything” three-ring circus, and the prosecution’s countering with “there’s a case to answer and the USA meets the required judicial standards”.

Damn you see the plot point of a serial killer dressing as a woman as attack on trans? I often wonder if I am crazy, because that would never cross my mind. Why would I associate a serial killer with trans? Maybe a woman serial killer that kills women is also an attack on women? I think this kind of reaction actually harms trans more than the story. So out of this world that people will think that trans or gay or blue bi are not good in their mind and thus not a fellow person.

Sure, but you shouldn’t need to.
About untraced reference support is there something specific that you’re looking for? Although it doesn’t have a special type I’m pretty sure you can have regular Go object references / interfaces / arrays point to non-GC memory if you want (although you’ll have to cast the result from malloc or something similar). So most library functions should work with unmanaged memory OK by default (if they’re using standard slice/array types) which is not too bad as far as GC languages go.
I think the cement of society is people who want society to continue existing.
Agree with this. Imagine how hard it is to maintain just one service? Now multiply this by the number of your Microservices. Change to Microservices should come naturally when the org need it, for example when teams in a different functions start to fight to merge their changes to the monolith.
In case it wasn't clear, this was tongue-in-cheek. This service exists, it's called Twitter.
Yeah, they have been doing lot of shady things in other countries way before US criticism of it.

Hearing aids (nor cochlear implants, for that matter) do not "restore hearing", except for light hearing loss. They are only like crutches (not even wheelchair). For example, to follow conversations or phone/skype with multiple people is very exhausting even with fancy device, because in most cases the "bandwidth" to the brain just isn't available.

That said, the hearing aids vendor lock-in is really atrocious and can use a disruption. They don't like users configuring the aids themselves, you are expected to make appointments with audiologist - in fact several of them because every hearing loss is different and it's hard to exactly measure, so usually the aids won't fit on first or second try. The algorithms are strictly proprietary - when there's 40dB difference between responses to different frequencies such as I have, usual equalizer won't do. To enable bluetooth the rule is to buy expensive add-on streamer.

How do you handle versioning stored procedures and triggers? What if your dev envs don't use partitioning but your QA / prod envs do? How do you rollback? Perhaps you're using the expand-contract pattern to avoid the need for rollback, great, how do you manage the complexity of inflight (expanded) but not yet contracted changes?

For basic use cases you definitely don't need liquibase but there comes a point where something like flyway makes a difference without adding much complexity at all.
Reading through this, I couldn't help thinking of a line from Hogan's Heroes: "I will see to it that you receive a fair trial, after which you will be shot."

There have been proposals [1] to create laws allowing counter-hacking, but it is a legal quagmire and I do not imagine anything ever being passed given all the legal risks and potential loopholes. As for constitutional amendments, AFAIK, this assumes that a legal battle even finds its way beyond local courts. Someone would have to fund a battle that would find its way to the supreme court and set legal precedence if none already exist and I am over simplifying this.

I believe the point being made was that if it had not shut down its nuclear plants it would not need baseload generation from coal. Nuclear for base plus renewables and some small amount of storage capacity seems to be the ideal mix for cutting CO2 emissions.

I would love to cut down on meat consumption for ethics/sustainability/health, but it's almost like my body knows it runs better on it. I get extra cranky, foggy, and tired if I don't have a pretty dense protein meal early in the day, ideally red meat. Can't do legumes due to allergies. Even like whey protein isn't the same as meat.

My iron levels are fine. Maybe it's one of the amino-adjacent compounds, like creatine?

NoSQLi – A Fast NoSQL Injection Framework Written in Go
Everyone knows the prosecution is politically motivated, which rules out extradition under the US-UK treaty. You know it, I know it, the judge knows it. Yet everyone also thinks the judge made up her mind (and probably wrote her ruling) before the proceedings began. Not even giving the defense time to prepare a closing statement just underlines this. This is the sort of trial you're used to hearing about in banana republics.

>There’s no discussion to be had when you’re FOR equality and the other side is arguing against it.

Kind of like how there's a subset of a certain political party that believes fetuses have the same right to life as infants.

Or how some people believe someone who comes from a statistically high crime demographic, has $120 in their checking account and face tattoos has the same right to own a gun as someone from a low crime demographic who can take a weekend class, pay $200 and ace an interview with the police chief?

My point is that it's not as simple as you are stating it is. Whichever side of an issue you are on the other side believes that they are right and you are wrong and that you are the oppressors. They have good logical reasons to reach this conclusion and if you peel back the logic you get to fundamentally incompatble differences of opinion.
Seems there is a spelling error within the first line?

It is faster to write an app with GC than to fight the borrow checker. For OS kernel development Rust may be worth the fight, but for userland a language with GC is better in most cases (much easier to learn, use and maintain for relatively small speed and memory penalty).

Most people are able to reason, but patching your operating system requires elevated permissions and people only hand that to those they trust.

Well, you have a point there. Wouldn't be the tenth time.
Is there a point? 538 showed Trump having a 1 in 4 chance of winning the election on the day of the election. Flipping a coin twice and getting two heads is not particularly surprising.

538 is showing Trump of having a 1 in 5 chance of winning 2020: not favored but very possible. But if you dig deeper, the main reason that his odds are that high is that there's lots of time for stuff to happen between now and November 4th. If the election were to be held today the odds would be 1 in 19 for Trump.

edit: rereading it sounds like I'm discrediting the 1 in 5 forecast. Not at all, I think they're right about the 1 in 5. There are two main reasons to go from 1 in 19 to 1 in 5:

- future unknown events. Like Comey in 2016. Some of these events will help Biden and some Trump, but if they're random they will pull the odds toward the middle.

- when asked who would better handle the economy, Trump has the lead over Biden. Elections have always been about the economy, but 2020 hasn't been so far. Reversion to the norm is always a good guess.

I'm badly summarizing 538 in my comments, this is not original thought.
There are some exceptions. But the price deltas aren't typically 10x, more like 2-3x. And, yes, a lot of things are made in the same Asian factories regardless of the brand label and aren't that different. There are definitely mail order brands I used to think were a cut above for casual clothes and the like that I sometimes still order from but I don't really think they're much different from everyone else these days.
Generally this sort of global states are considered a misfeature. They are hard to use and impede cpu design (they are particularly bad for OoO). It is better to have per instruction flags.

For exemple while SSE still has an fpu control word, explicit instructions were added for some stuff that historically was handled by the control register (rounding for example).

Fair enough, maybe I was reading too far between the lines that the parent commenter was referencing the market as a proxy for the economy (which I don't agree with, but it's a common assumption).

I agree the Fed has the ability (to a certain extent) and the willingness to prop them up. The point I may not be getting across is that they only have so many tools available (the biggest lever being interest rates, but as you mention they have other options like buying bonds). Once those tools are in play (e.g., interest rates hovering near zero) they have less leverage to impact the economy if a severe downturn happens. That's not to say they are out of options, just that they have less options at their disposal. That's why I referenced interest rates as one of its most important tools, with the implication they had other (perhaps less broadly impactful) ways to spur the economy
