It would open yet another can of worms. The GDPR explicitly calls for the possibility of anonymous usage of services, for one.

The other thing is - imagine I were a gay man living in Poland (a country that recently made europe-wide outrage headlines with "LGBT-free zones"), or in Russia where "advocating" for LGBT is a crime, or in Saudi-Arabia where you might end up literally decapitated. I could go and discuss topics regarding my sexuality on Twitter anonymously - but with a forced tie to a government ID?! I would have to fear authorities using my free speech to get me imprisoned or worse all the time!
That’s unfortunately incorrect. That flag does not turn integer overflow into UB, which is what allows the C++ optimizations that assume it cannot happen, and can be used to prove that loops terminate, etc.

That flag changes the behavior of integer overflow from trapping to “modulo 2 arithmetic”.

If you want to change the behavior of integer overflow in Rust to “always assume it cannot happen”, you need to “hack” the compiler AFAIK.

If you believe this is incorrect, provide the flag that proves that (hint: such a flag makes safe Rust unsound and it therefore does not exist).
For sustainable farming, livestock plays a very crucial role. This is particularly true for organic and natural farming.

So looking at a single metric (methane emissions) doesn't do this topic justice.

Also, live stock grazing (if done properly) can also be a method of regreening environments.

> Mark Zuckerberg has faced criticism that Facebook is bad for democracy.

> Employees want him to take a harder line against the Trump Administration.

They employees want to support democracy by taking a stand against the democratic chosen president. I have a hard time coming up with words to describe my disbelief. Guess it's time for companies to enforce "absolutely no politics at work" rules. And you can add religion and sexuality to the blacklist as well. Guess old days "professionalism" was not without reason.

20 year old me would utterly despise current me. I find it funny.
All of these chemicals have the same effects. I have a friend who is involved in the chemical background on these bans. He says it's known that they're all functionally identical, but there's years of research needed for each to get them banned. Nothing was won by banning BPA at all besides a false sense of security.
There are plenty of Mac developers who don’t have the hard line stance you do. Please, please don’t speak for all of us. Sand boxing has made some things a lot harder or impossible but don’t pretend like the Mac has been incredibly crippled or something. Compared to using Tiger in 2006, the only functional difference is a few more password dialogs and some weirdness like this.
You're entirely correct about diminishing returns & difficulty attempting to drive expenses close to zero, but note that the author of the post was saying that it isn't necessary for expenses to go to zero. Expenses just need to be sufficiently small (but not arbitrarily small) compared to the percentage of total savings -- I'll interpret "total savings" as the accumulated capital that we are able to invest to generate a return.

As you approach a certain critical ratio of expenses / invested capital your runway of how long you can live off investment returns & capital goes to infinity. You can approach that ratio in two ways: by reducing expenses or increasing the amount of invested capital.

E.g. suppose you have expenses of X / year. Suppose you have accumulated capital worth K that generates a real investment return of K * r every year. If K * r >= X then you can operate indefinitely with investment returns covering all expenses, i.e. the "infinite runway". We haven't talked about the expenses X being zero or frugal. Your expenses X could be lavish, but they just need to be no greater in size than K * r .

A plausible value of r corresponding to capital invested in the stock market with a very small allocation of bonds might be 0.035 -- 0.04 for a 3.5% ... 4% annual real return. So if your annual expenses are X then to cross the threshold into infinite runway you need to have capital invested worth at least K >= K* = X / r , that is K >= X / 0.04 ... X / 0.035 = 25X ... 28.6X .
what could possibly go wrong?

Although a follow up would be the comforting level of maturity in Facebook's leadership, acknowledging that it isn't their role to bring politics into the workplace.

It is distressingly refreshing to see a company in the news for taking a stance like "In my work with Joel, I’ve found him to be ... very rigorous and principled in his thinking [and therefore I'm happy to work with him despite being a Republican]". It really is remarkable that Zuckerberg is in a position to have to defend that. From company employees of all people.
Bad hypothetical situations are bad. But have you looked at the data?

Historically, you're much more likely to have your money grow over time, such that it's much higher before a big crash, and you have ample capital to wait out a bear market.

Again, the only scenarios that resulted in running out of capital in a 4% withdrawal rate happened in the very first few years, retiring right before a very bad series of years.

If early retirement is your goal, and especially if you're a competent software developer, if the market is that bad early on (which is very rare) then you just have to change course and go back to work.
> continuing to demand products

the demand will always be there. Humans like to eat meat. I doubt very many will give up the privilege, esp. when others are not.

So any solution that improves the production of meat should be a good outcome. Ideally, lab grown meat (of the same quality and taste as from a cow) with low emissions is the best, but we aren't anywhere near that level of tech yet.
Unlike almost other books recommended in this thread, this jumps straight to the point without a lot of text.
From the very start it makes a point and continue without delving into too much intro or background or other plain (useless) text.

I find Effective Java an easy read for the exact same reason, it makes a point from the very start without telling so many stories.

Talking about undemocratic ...
I don't think hydrogen is a good energy storage solution. I do see its advantage over hydrocarbons for certain applications but the difficulties in storing hydrogen - a small molecule which is sort of an escape artist - make it less than ideal for many purposes. Fuel cells can get contaminated unless they're run with pure hydrogen and oxygen. In applications where hydrogen is already available - e.g. H₂-LOX fuelled rockets - it makes sense to use fuel cells. It might be possible to run aircraft using H₂-fed fuel cells if these can be made powerful and light enough to fit the application, the advantage over battery-electric here is that the energy density of liquid hydrogen is much higher than that of current battery technology. For the rest - cars being a good example - I think batteries are currently a better solution.

Large scale energy storage is probably handled better using either redox flow batteries [1], hydro storage systems or energy storage vaults using concrete blocks which are lifted when there is too much energy available, lowered when energy is needed.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_battery
"... the problem is too many people indoctrinated with the idea of eating all the animals, all the time."

The problem is there are too many people. Even if a person isn't eating meat, they still use a vast amount of other resources, especially if they adhere to a modern lifestyle.
My smartphone can't establish a connection with my Bluetooth headset if a phone communication is already taking place.

Leaders of some of the largest and richest countries on earth denied there was a Covid problem and still deny - or fake to deny - the climate crisis.

There's going to be a transition to something else but our specie or civilization isn't ready to make it smooth and I have little hope we can handle global scale projects like terra-forming.

Most likely there won't be any significant terraforming initiative and small scale local solutions will be enforced when it's too late for anything else.
The conclusion would've been more clear if you had stated that it was coming from frustration.

And I get that. I do see that native Mac software is getting more rare, even though more and more Macs are getting sold each year, as a percentage of total desktops/laptops sold.

That said, I don't feel like SIP and sandboxing are the main cause of that, and it hurts the platform to say so. You may feel like the platform is enfeebled, dismantled, locked down. I feel that it's growing with the times.

(Note that I'm not saying that everything is hunky-dory. Recently I've been experimenting with APFS. I wanted to boot from a self-configured Fusion drive, and had made a volume across an internal and an external disk. It doesn't work, which is fine. But it's not clear why not. No documentation is available, nor has anyone looked into this and blogged about it. I think that's a shame, and I have the feeling that this wasn't always like that.)
What other means are you referring to here? Arenas are all that comes to mind.

See my reply to masklin in this thread for why this is incorrect. In release mode, the behavior of integer overflow in Rust is not UB/cannot happen, but modulo two arithmetic.

These two are not the same thing.
Thanks for answering about unsigned numbers.

I don't believe Rust is anything like Swift. Do you think that by "like Swift" it just meant "languages where an overflow will result in the program aborting its execution"? If so then that was a pretty useless tautology. (I had assumed it meant something like "like Java" meaning any language that uses the JVM.)
Bringing a Game to Japan: The Biggest Do’s and Don’ts
C'mon, if the concept of "democracy" means anything it has to include the notion that the guy who won the last election doesn't get to just do whatever he wants (especially if what he wants is to undermine or tamper with the next election!)

You're not a democracy because you hold one legitimate election -- you have to keep on having fair elections!

Good luck, America.
Micropayments and Mental Transaction Costs (2001) [pdf]
Yeah you're right, it's not Hydrogen bonds, it's called "Quantum Tunnelling". Basically it means that an object can pass a potential barrier with a certain probability even if it doesn't have the energy to do so. The effect depends of course the height and width of the barrier, the temperature but also on the mass of the object. (Therefore it's mostly relevant for Hydrogen)
> Luckily, have examples like Mechai Viravaidya in Thailand, who helped lower their population growth from around 7 children per couple to below 2 through voluntary means -- think the opposite of China's One Child Policy -- leading to greater stability and abundance.

South Korea, Vietnam and the Philippines follow the same general population decline curve from the 1960s to now, that Thailand has followed. They all began at close to the same change rate circa 1960, all between 2.9% and 3.3%. Thailand's drop has been more pronounced since 2000 than Vietnam, however that can properly be attributed to the huge difference in standard of living between the two (the decline in Thailand matches the decline also seen in South Korea).

Did most countries in Asia have their own Mechai Viravaidya? They all simultaneously drop from 1960 onward. Or is this person getting credit for something that was happening regardless and has a lot more to do with increased economic prosperity? Which is something we already know is the primary natural change agent for lowering population expansion. Thailand's GDP per capita skyrocketed after 2001, whereas eg Vietnam and the Philippines followed slower trajectories (until recently). Thailand actually saw an increase in its population growth change rate in the 1990s (1993-2001), before the economic boom that began in 2001 pushed it back down again. The population change rate in Vietnam and Thailand were nearly identical until Thailand's economic boom began in 2001 (also, Thailand's rate wasn't much lower than Indonesia circa 1998-2000, they've split both economically and on that pop change rate from 2001 forward).
I heard from a retired teacher that the change he saw over time in young people was somewhat due to they grew up in smaller families with 0-1 siblings, and didn't have to share rooms, toys, etc.
Yes I know how this feels. Same here, I've been using it since 2005 too. I've also seen many comprehensive settings moved to oversimplified On/Off sliders which don't give me the flexibility I need.

I'm also worried about where it's going but I do think sandboxing is an inevitable need in this connected world with ever changing exploits. Like the above user said, especially for a web browser. I just wish I as the user could call the shots instead of Apple. Sometimes I just want to do something for good reason but I can't.

And yes more and more apps are becoming Catalyst port or Electron (which are mostly crap except for some gems like VS Code). But that's not only a Mac problem, all platforms struggle with this now.
The Most Dangerous Cult of Our Times: QAnon's Inexorable Spread Beyond the U.S.
Agree. This is another typical article about "how bad big bad companies are" because the technologies were not used as the writers wanted them to be. They are always oblivious to the possibility that the users and developers of those technologies actually wanted to explore different paths instead of their way.

It always feel like anticapitalists that claim "the system" coopted good ideas and turned them evil. When "the system" is the people using those technologies. No matter what Facebook or Microsoft do, if people don't like it, it will fail. It seems the problem they have is that people think differently than they do, and they don't like that.

Sure, but do you need to spend all your money to ensure that you have no choice to work, just so you have structure?

An alternative might be to build up a nest egg, and use free time outside of work to experiment with education, hobbies, and other activities, and find out if any of those give you enough of a compass towards creating and achieving that you need the employer less and less for the structure it hands you.
But gravity is (effectively) a conservative force.

For the most part a dark matter particle attracted to another particle will just convert all the kinetic energy it gained during the attraction back to potential energy as it whizzes past and away from the other particle.

Normal matter particles can radiate away photons when they hit each other, ie friction, leading to a non-conservative interaction. This allows them to shed their energy and clump in a way dark matter can't.

For what it is worth, it’s been shown that the most popular and most shared posts for years have been basically 80% extreme conservative ones.
See here: https://twitter.com/facebookstop10?s=21

That said, this is no defense of left wing propaganda. I’m not saying it doesn’t exist, just that by the numbers Facebook is mostly right wing users and that extreme right wing material is more popular.

Interestingly the popular right-wing material tends to be non-party related. Probably because sharing extreme right viewpoints on a generally conservative site is how you get clicks. It’s profitable, even if your organization has no horse in the race.

To be fair it's not just underflow, but equality that differs between numeric types. The equality of signed and unsigned integers might not mean what you think it means, but it's exact. The equality of real-valued types always means what you think it means, but it's inexact so you need to write it as "close enough to" instead of "equals".

With integers, "overflow" means "wrap around because the internal representation is really on a modulo field" whereas with floating point "overflow" means "the result is NAN or INF" and undeflow means "the result is NAN or zero or DENORM" but it's awkward to use such phrases in everyday conversation. Especially to your boss, whose eyes glaze over when you start using such words and he'll just interrupt with a "when will the JIRA be done? I have another meeting in five."

The rule of thumb is that you have to know what you're doing to use lower-level languages like C++. That already eliminates 80% of the programmers out there but thank goodness there are high-level languages that reduce to simplistic concepts and let software be churned out at a rapid pace.

Retractoins occur all the time in newspapera but they build on the model that people actually read the newspaper. It doesn't work when people read one article from a social media link. Fact checking and retractions should be updated to work in the age of facebook 1) Respectable media would publish retractions to facebook, saying "Please notify anyone who followed the link to reuters.com/article/123 that the article has been corrected". 2) Fact checks would do the same thing (because this is most important with less respectable media).

For this to happen obviously facebook would want to agree to annoy a fraction of their users who don't want to find their favorite links unavailable, littered with warnigs, or followed by messages that they are eating an unhealthy news diet. Hopefully they realize that this is a goal worth pursuing.
