I haven't done much Async programming in Rust and I am also struggling with the error messages.

One thing I found generally useful (not with error messages) is to "typedef" some of the more complex types as it makes the code more readable. For instance using some of the long types from the article:

type RowStream = Box<dyn Stream<Item = Row> + Send + Unpin>;
type QueryResult = Result<RowStream,Error>;
Unlike most of these falsehood articles, this one somewhat explains each falsehood, which is very welcome.

Mozilla ditched FirefoxOS for throw away projects (there is no other way to call these), FirefoxOS now KaiOS that has received more than $50 Millions in investment and is deployed on 100M cell phones, basically the 3rd OS in popularity after Android and IOS...

Gaseous, sure. It also emits radioactivity.
It beats me why they'd use those videos as examples knowing how finicky copyright law is.
Unfortunately, he had a years' long public record of pro pedophilia statements versus, as far as I know, only a single post mentioning his change of heart in 2016. Being an awkward nerd doesn't grant one a "get out of social consequences" card, especially when one is a public figure whose job is political advocacy.

If he'd put as much effort into distancing himself from his past beliefs as he did advocating for them, he likely wouldn't have found himself in the position where no one was willing to grant him the benefit of the doubt when he footgunned himself and MIT with an awkward, tediously pedantic argument on the nature of consent. What happened to him wasn't a smear campaign by enemies of free software, or a witch-hunt by prudish SJWs who hate neuro-atypicals, it was inevitable.
To be precise, Chernobyl had 31 casualties and around 4000 statistically estimated death toll. That is, life expectancy reduced because of radiation exposure.
Could you post numbers for your claim that other energies are cheaper than nuclear? Which country are you talking about?

To me, evasion is a solvable problem at the national level if we, again, hire & assess for merit w/ competitive pay in our enforcement agencies. Unfortunately, much of the government-especially the portions of government that would enforce this- is captured, so pretty unlikely chance of that.
This was true 50 years ago, but has not been true in the last thirty years.

The technology has changed. Within the past 30 years, nuclear has become more expensive than alternatives, and a dollar invested in nuclear correlates with seven-fold less drop in emissions than that same dollar invested in renewables:

http://www.sussex.ac.uk/broadcast/read/53376

Note that the above story has been criticized as being correlative, but that correlative reasoning is the same reasoning that's used when saying that France and Sweden have decarbonized with nuclear. (And Sweden owes a lot to hydropower, which is 45% of its electricity)
That’s a fair point. Though in this case aren’t google play music and youtube music substantially similar services?

Google’s reputation is that they will have 2-3 services with the same functionality. Whereas there are pretty legitimate business reasons you want want to make a streaming business distinct from a legacy content purchasing business.
I think the recent LinkedIn case established that it is legal to scrape anything which is publicly available (ie no login required). Redistribution would be a copyright violation, but the scraping itself is legal.

Hi Nullc, long time no see! :-)
And shoot, that is annoying.

It makes for really bad optics though. Gforz's suggestion to upload test video with similar parameters is -in 20/20 hindsight- probably the better plan. Definitely better than giving bad ideas to copyright lawyers.

Because Microsoft can afford lawyers to fight this, and random GitHub projects can't. It's an intimidation tactic.

If you're interested in this question I think the recent articles by Ray Dalio might be exactly what you are looking for.

He founded and ran the world's largest hedge fund and in addition to studying the issue has had personal interaction with high level Chinese leaders going back decades, so he seems pretty well informed about both the macroeconomics in general and China specifically.

In addition the very question you're talking about seems to be currently his main point of interest and he's been writing a series of free articles about it on linked in ([1][2] and others).

The articles go very in depth and I can't do justice to them here. But I got the impression that he expects some of these things:

- China to surpass the US as the #1 economy. Beyond that, eventually become a developed country, so probably wildly surpass the US economy considering the population is 4x as large.

- Them to continuously increase in relative technological and military power relative to the US.

- For them to possibly supplant the US dollar as the world reserve currency, which could have implications on the value of the US dollar

- Not for them to give up their hierarchical government

Poul-Henning Kamp's article, A Generation Lost in the Bazaar, explained the absurdity of autoconf & libtool at length. I quote some of it, below.

“At the bottom of the food chain, so to speak, is libtool, which tries to hide the fact that there is no standardized way to build a shared library in Unix. …the source code for devel/libtool weighs in at 414,740 lines. Half that line count is test cases… the tests elaborately explore the functionality of the complex solution for a problem that should not exist in the first place. Even more maddening is that 31,085 of those lines are in a single unreadably ugly shell script called configure. The idea is that the configure script performs approximately 200 automated tests, so that the user is not burdened with configuring libtool manually. This is a horribly bad idea, already much criticized back in the 1980s when it appeared, as it allows source code to pretend to be portable behind the veneer of the configure script, rather than actually having the quality of portability to begin with. It is a travesty that the configure idea survived. …

“The configure scripts back then were written by hand and did things like figure out if this was most like a BSD- or a SysV-style Unix, and then copied one or the other Makefile and maybe also a .h file into place. Later the configure scripts became more ambitious, and … rather than standardize Unix to eliminate the need for them, somebody wrote a program, autoconf, to write the configure scripts.

“Today's Unix/Posix-like operating systems, even including IBM's z/OS mainframe version, as seen with 1980 eyes are identical; yet the 31,085 lines of configure for libtool still check if <sys/stat.h> and <stdlib.h> exist, even though the Unixen, which lacked them, had neither sufficient memory to execute libtool nor disks big enough for its 16-MB source code.”

I watch youtube videos with mpv sometimes. That's not even downloading it. But it's using youtube-dl to stream the video :)
I would argue that buying anything where the cost is dropping exponentially is foolish as well. This would mean that it makes a lot more sense to invest in the economy and wait until renewable technology stops becoming cheaper/more reliable before buying.

But what do we do in the meanwhile? What do we do if storage technology isn't able to match energy demand when the sun isn't out and the wind isn't blowing? What do we do in areas that don't get as much renewable energy? Many questions. Probably more than one sensible answer.

Renewables might not be a magic bullet. We need a plan B. Nuclear as a long term base load power source? Not as crazy as it sounds.
Yes, I know it supports other sites. That just isn't relevant.
Is-ought, whatever, you defended the practice by citing its "positive" consequences.

Sources? Not trying to be dismissive, but I can't find any on DDG or Google.

> And of course, he actually did advocate for legalization of child rape earlier in his career.

He never did that. He advocated for child consent. You may think I'm nitpicking but it's an important distinction. Child rape colloquially means unconsentual / forced sex, but technically means any sex since children cannot legally consent. If you say he defends child rape you are colloquially saying he defends unconsentual sex, when he never did such a thing.
Your code contains a small bug, in the leapfrog HMC function the line pnext = -p should be pnext = -pnext. Also this line is only of theoretical importance, it has no effect on the final result (unless you use a weird asymmetric kinetic energy).

Avro never gets any love, which is a real shame given its extremely powerful schema resolution rules[0]

You don't have to worry about maintaining numeric field tags, can remove fields, can make previously required fields optional (by promoting them to unions with null), or even change their type (by promoting them to unions of <old type> and <new type>)

You need to pass your schema around with your data somehow, but there's a file format specified for that, and you can still just dump to JSON if you can't be bothered.

The schemas are specified in JSON too... which in my view makes it more robust than the JSON + JSON-Schema combo

Do you have a reference to indicate that the carbon footprint is greater for renewables than nuclear?

I tried to find some data on it and discovered this[1] IPCC report which indicates that renewables generally have lower lifetime emissions than nuclear, with the exception of utility-scale photovoltaic solar.

(I was surprised that any type of renewable has a larger lifetime emission estimate, so I'm puzzling over the reasons behind that now)

Edit: follow-up - also discovered a second report[2] published by the IPCC, which references two separate emissions estimates - one by the IPCC themselves as part of an 'AR5' report, and one published by SSRN (a separate organization).

The SSRN estimate indicates that solar photovoltaic (unspecified utility vs residential) is on an equal lifecycle emissions footing with nuclear.

DMCA doesn’t give the service provider much room to adjudicate these claims. The intended way to correct bogus DMCA notices is a counter notice.

Ah yes Greenpeace... an organization renowned for having reasonable opinions about nuclear energy.
Exactly. There are limits to the crazy. In moderation, giving people an outlet for frustration is fine. UFO abduction, all that stuff.

But when the crazy gets weaponized for the benefit of actual policy actors, which is what has clearly happened here, we need to start getting it under control.

It's not that Q and adrenochrome and pizzagate and birtherism and even the The Protocols are that dangerous per se. It's that people with power discovered they could use the nuts who believed that stuff to get more power.
I wish they would fix Firefox Mobile. Their recent redesign has largely destroyed the usability in terms of UI while also removing key features like the ability to install arbitrary addons. This is by far the most poorly thought out change that I have ever seen an established piece of software make.
I would go so far as to say the source code of youtube-dl is less relevant than its existence as a rallying point. The project can be disrupted by attacking its centralized points, but I doubt the general effort can be suppressed long-term.
Here's what you can do:

1. Clone the repository. Make an insignificant change to the initial commit in order to change all commit hashes. Push to github as a new repository.

2. Create a password "protected" zip file (or smaller volumes) containing the repository. Use a password that's easily found in common wordlists. Commit it to another project and push to github.

(including infrastructure and supply chain): https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/2018/02/ipcc_wg3_ar5...

It shows nuclear lifetime emissions are lower than solar, but I think this report excludes the carbon footprint in manufacturing/recycling the renewables.
You like to weed out any waffling.
> since plenty of people also have legitimate uses for this tool, and any other tool that allows them to do the same things is just as capable of downloading copyrighted youtube videos

True, but _other_ people and _other_ tools aren't relevant to the intent of _these_ authors and _this_ tool. _Your_ intent is relevant in establishing whether _you_ violated the law (and thus whether an associated DMCA takedown is valid).
Can't I just FORK it and change the Readme and/or tests to not include references to what could be constituted as infringing acts, and purposely state that the purpose of MY FORK is to download YouTube videos that are in the public domain?

If it's been taken down I am sure it will pop up on some torrent. The authors and all those who have contributed to it have copies.

How can a court tell me not to publish generally useful software with a legitimate intent?
Atomic Rockets has some good info on this.

> When it comes to [high thrust, high specific impulse] propulsion systems we might actually be able to build in the near future, the list includes Orion drives, Zubrin's nuclear salt water rocket, and maybe Medusa.

There have been many studied variations of Orion. Atomic Rockets cites hypothetical Isp between 3,000 and 12,000 seconds. Vehicles with delta-V of up to 100,000 m/s have been proposed. These could definitely be built, and would definitely work, but would require constructing, co-locating, launching, and detonating thousands of 5- to 15-kiloton nuclear explosives.

http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/enginelist3.php...

Medusa is basically Orion crossed with the image of a sailor blowing into their own sails. A huge parachute is deployed in front of the spaceship, and the nuclear explosives are detonated between it and the bow of the spaceship. The parachute can capture more of the explosive output than Orion's pusher plate can, it weighs less (because all of its members are in tension), and it can use its rigging's elastic properties to dampen the intermittent thrust, as opposed to Orion's (heavier) hydraulic dampers. The proposal study for Medusa (which assumed thirty 25-kg explosives) came up with an Isp of 106,220 seconds, and a delta-V of 4775 m/s.

http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/enginelist3.php...

The Nuclear Salt Water Rocket assumes plausible (but completely untested, so maybe impossible) continuous nuclear fission in a stream of uranium-salt-y water being sprayed into the combustion chamber. Assuming that this can be made to not blow itself up, 20%-enriched salt nets a theoretical Isp of ~7,000 seconds, and 90%-(weapons-grade) enriched fuel, with somewhat more optimistic efficiency assumptions, has a theoretical Isp of ~400,000 seconds and a delta-V of 10,000,000 m/s.

http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/enginelist2.php...

There are also lots of other currently-less-plausible proposals for high-power high-efficiency rockets. (Many of them assume things like efficient proton-proton fusion, which might be possible, but we have no idea how to do it.) Atomic Rockets is a great website for reading about these.

My takeaway is that it's almost certainly possible to build spaceships that can travel at >0.01c, but it would take a great deal of resources organized by a society that is more trusting and responsible than we are now. After all, any vehicle with that kind of power is also an equally powerful weapon.
Yes. A conventional explosive kills in the immediate area. These things pollute, killing for days/weeks/months.
The presumption is that a child can not reasonably be assumed to have adequate agency to assent (especially in regards to power relationships etc), therefore any contact is inherently non-consensual and thus by definition "rape".

I can abstractly conceive of philosophical arguments around emergence of ability to consent, but here in the real world I am solidly with the majority on this one.

>I've always wondered, are courts fooled by such disclaimers? Are their authors untouchable just because they put in some boilerplate disclaimer like that?

I think the answer is that this doesn't always sufficiently protect them, but these small bits add up. It's useful to be able to point at words written beforehand that could help you in a legal situation. This is what corporate speak is about too and enough people engage in it that it likely does something.
I'm not sure what you mean by "official" polls, but in 538's polling average Trump is only leading Texas by 0.5%.

I also tend to like 538's model. 538's model gives Trump an average vote share of 2.2% more than biden (more than the polling average because the model thinks the demographics and fundamentals favor trump) but still gives Biden a 35% chance of winning. Biden winning is not very likely, but it's also not a not very small chance.
