Are you like....just saying what feels right without any historical research or background whatsoever?

The cost of a mass grave is that now the entire city knows you're killing people and you're coming for them. It leads to formation of resistance forces, kills your soldiers, stops the occupation from progressing.

Transportation is free because you took over the railways. Building concentration camps is free because it's done by literal slaves who have no choice anyway, and is done with local materials taken from existing housing. It's not like Nazis were paying market prices for any of this.

Like, I have no idea why were even arguing about this. Go and visit Auschwitz, it's all explained in the museum there. Read some books about occupations of Lvov or Warsaw - Nazis very quickly stopped executing people en-masse because it was more trouble than it was worth. You can say you disagree, but that's just arguing with facts.
You can think of ZeroMQ as legos for building message queue-based messaging systems. ZeroMQ gives you different pieces - pushers, pullers, publishers, subscribers, routers, etc. and it's up to you to then hook them up in different ways to create the system you want. The guide gives you some different ideas of how to hook up the different pieces for common use cases, but there's nothing stopping you from building a custom one.

ZeroMQ is not an out-of-the-box MQ solution. It takes some work to understand and build a functional MQ solution with ZeroMQ. If you want something that works out of the box I recommend RabbitMQ.

What do you imply? WWII was fought by sticks, and stones in comparison to even cold war era weapons, and the combined death toll far, far surpassed the biggest estimate for a possible loss of life in a nuclear war in between Western, and Eastern bloc, even if each side would intentionally target each other's biggest cities.
I thought of this construction:

Let f, the first function have period 1, g the second have period √2.

Define the equivalence relationship that x~y if x = y + a + b√2 for some a and b. Pick for each class a unique representative using the Axiom of Choice. For each representative e, define

f(a+b√2+e) = b√2, g(a+b√2+e) = a + e

By construction, any number can be represented through a unique (a, b, e). And f and g manifestly have the right periods.

You can use closures to store state in Erlang, but generally state is kept by passing it through to further function calls.

I would say this makes Erlang mostly have explicit state, rather than saying Erlang is stateless.

Ets is implemented in C as global mutable state, but you could implement it in Erlang as a process per table (and a process to hold the list of tables) with no loss of functionality. You would send messages to fetch data or update data, etc. It's a performance and memory efficiency optimization to do it with C, of course.

Working in residential construction since the 1980s I've seen several people fall from that height. None of them injured all of them were not direct falls most of them were scrapes along walls. I've also seen way more people fall from step ladders two or three feet tall and get injured worse. One case in the early 90s a painter exterior work about 32 ft tall fell from maybe 26 ft his primary concern was not spilling his paint landed in a koi pond on his butt didn't spill the drop of paint.
In that case every OSS project is in some way DRM:ed since they require a compiler, interpreter or some specific instruction set to run. That is not at all how the term DRM is used, and if you want to think of it that way you should also know that when speaking to others they have another definition of what DRM is.

As I said it is as encrypted (no less, no more) as all other https traffic. Please note that normal https does no verification of the client, the client verifies the server not the other way around (client verification is of course possible but almost no public sites use it). So the encryption in this case verifies that the content comes from youtube or other sites that it supports but youtube itself does no attempt at verification of the client. This is in contrast to real DRM where the content is encrypted in such a way that it is hard to decode it without running the Content Decryption Module, which are proprietary plugins and that can check HDCP and similar ways to only allow playback on "trusted" devices.
China's "Three Evils", terrorism, separatism, religious extremism.

Uyghurs tick all three, tibet only two. There's a reason Uyghurs are being interned en masse, where Tibet only gets heavy grid surveillance and policing. There were hundreds of terrorist attacks over the years causing thousands of death by Uyghur extremist in China, including one TianAnMen. Terrorism is by far the largest factor because the baseline guarantee by the state should be safety, so Beijing grossly overreacts, with full support of the masses. Not just the Han mind you, no one likes their planes hijacked or train stations knived.

The issue is you can't pay people to secularize. You have to brainwash. XJ is just repeat classic CCP political work + indoctorination + work camps. The dirty secret being that on balance, they work. Last I read China sunk 2.1 Trillion RMB / 300 Billion USD for the entire "security apparatus" in the region over the last few years. I mean I guess they could just cut every Uyghur a 200,000RMB / 30,000USD check and tell them to renounce Islam. Maybe you'll get some takers, but not the extremist, the primary group of concern, at the cost of pissing off 99.2% of the country. So we have education and vocational training and a little gitmo for recalcitrants.
Most fentanyl is administered IV as well, the “100x more potent” stuff is mostly misleading because the doses are different but it is substantially more effective than morphine.

My wife does anesthesia and if they’re going to use opioids at all, it’s almost always IV fentanyl. It’s extremely rare that patients report any pain afterwards. Though there’s a big movement toward opioid-free surgery so that’s promising.

Thank you for the pointer! My bad that I didn't thoroughly read the related work section (which does mention KidSim). I think I was also misled because the "when" section of the rule is based on the pattern, but its "do" section is not the output pattern but the instruction list for each actor matched in the pattern. In the other words it can potentially do much more than pattern rewriting (note that PuzzleScript also extends on this, so it is evident that this mechanism has a strong limitation).

Although the original title is a little clickbait and not exactly correct, this article written by Ania M. Piotrowska, one of Nym’s main researcher, explained in details what are the privacy properties you need against state level mass surveillance.

The importance of this article is to see a privacy project introspectively admitting its current limitation. In Nym’s case, it still doesn’t have hidden service, sender anonymity and receiver anonymity. This is the level of transparency we want to see from any privacy project.

Having flaws or limitations are okay, but not communicating them with users while advertising itself as a privacy project is just dishonest. I hope to see more articles like this from other privacy projects.

Nym explained its ambition to achieve much stronger privacy properties under much stronger threat model. Until then, they can truly claim to protect privacy against state surveillance.
Being data driven can be as simple as sales telling you how many people are asking for a feature as opposed to "everybody".
I guess this is fair criticism given the FAQ, but many features have been added over time.

Setting up a monitor socket allows you to observe pretty much any event you could care about, like peer connect/disconnect/errors, etc.

There is also a draft feature to access the number of queued incoming/outgoing messages (see https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq/blob/master/doc/zmq_socket_... for details).
There is no disagreement here. Most people didn't agree with the Iraq war. He never said that his statement referred to the Iraq war.

Given the context, he's likely more talking about the immediate response following 9/11. Military action was highly supported following the events of 9/11. There was so much support, in fact, that the president now has the power to send troops to any part of the world without declaring war
Reading this gives me flashbacks of my own fall from about 45 feet, which broke my spine, pelvis, and ankle.

The initial days after the surgery were confusing, painful, and scary. If the fractures had been another half inch to the right, I would have been paralyzed for life.

Indeed, I lost control over my bowel functions, and for a few agonizing days was unclear if I would ever get them back. I learned how to insert my own catheter to avoid the embarassment of having it done for me.

The following weeks were spent wheelchair-bound in a rehab facility, where each day brought surreal new challenges, but also small increments of progress. A year later, all bodily functions have been restored, with only minor limitations.

If you have also been struck by disaster, and narrowly escaped by sheer miracle, you will understand the intense gratitude and sense of purpose that one is filled with in such circumstances.

Gratitude for all the little things that were almost taken away forever - wiggling your toes, playing a sport, walking to the store, using the toilet unassisted. Gratitude for all the help, care, and healing from medical staff, without which life would be awful and pointless.

And a deep sense of purpose, as you realize how short and fragile that life is. It is a powerful reminder to learn, build, and grow while you still have the resources and opportunity.

I think about it less as time goes on, but sometimes I will see the ground rushing at me, or glimpse a flash of the life I almost had... and it keeps me on my toes.
Haha, this has happened a few times. Especially if I move the chair that I've been sitting on out of the way toward the sensor.
I've been using Anki to learn Japanese for about a year now, quite successfully.

The largest factor determining your daily reviews is your daily new cards - it depends on retention somewhat, but in general daily reviews after a few months stabilize at around 10x daily new cards.

So the best way to use Anki is to limit your daily new cards to an amount where you can easily handle the reviews. And yeah, you basically can't take a day off ever.

Anki is very powerful, but you also need to structure your learning/routine around it somewhat, or maybe another way to look at it is that you need to make Anki work for you. I currently spend about 15-20 minutes a day on Anki, earlier on in my language learning it was over an hour a day.
This is pretending a world is perfect. If pregnancy were easy to prevent, folks would have done it well before modern times. But that simply isn't the case. It doesn't matter if they knew the rent was that high, and it isn't like folks can avoid this in all areas.

Expecting a couple to never have sex is unreasonable and pregnancy cannot always be prevented. In some areas, access to abortion is abysmal, though in some areas, a woman can get the day after pill for emergencies - but that's hardly prevention.

As far as pregnancy prevention: The best prevention is actually male sterilization. Condoms break. Every single prevention method for women have a failure rate, including sterilization methods. For hormonal birth control, lots of things affect it, including some medicines.

And this is all assuming folks can afford medical care and prescriptions, which you need for most forms of birth control. I'm not sure anywhere in the US will mail condoms to you for free (unsure of how well spermicide alone performs or if they still sell a sponge for women). Heck, a young woman who doesn't want children cannot generally get sterilized, insurance often doesn't pay for it, it isn't cheap, and IIRC you need time off.
Sincerely, that was quite surprising for me, especially while participating in Quantopian. I've no idea of what I was doing and I received all that attention... Appreciate your comment!

One enormous advantage many of the religious have in terms of mentally coping with life is that they don't believe they will ever truly die. Hats off to those who find motivation to live without that.
Functional programming languages, more often than not, distinguish themselves with some combination of the following features:

* First-order functions

* Partial function application / currying

* Type inference

* Algebraic data types

* Typeclasses

* An emphasis on pure functions (side effects must be explicitly annotated), opening up more possibilities for static analysis

* Lazy evaluation

This is not to say that the above features cannot be emulated by other languages. For instance, Rust has traits, which serve more or less the same practical purpose as Haskell typeclasses.

However, FP is designed to prioritize the above features, whereas other languages may not be.

It's lowest common denominator thinking, which isn't necessarily wrong. If the majority of cross-platform UI code is done in HTML/JS and the toolchain is mature, that becomes the default choice and you would need a compelling reason to not use it. And that has generally been my anecdotal experience.
According to Caixin Global, a state-sponsored yet more critical media authority in China, cases were extremely high in the beginning and there was some effort to hide the number of actual deaths. But it seems now China has controlled Covid due to being able to repress the population into it. They were able to withstand the heavy economic fallout (which was noticeably shortened due to the repressive measures), and get back up to normalcy in other parts of the country much earlier.

I'm currently in the UAE and it's a similarly interesting story. The UAE is divided into 7 Emirates, with Abu Dhabi as the wealthiest, Dubai as the next wealthiest but heavily in debt, and the northern Emirates under the financial leash of Abu Dhabi. The difference between Dubai and the other Emirates is night and day - Abu Dhabi dictated very harsh terms (by fines, and even prison time for those voluntarily spreading the disease by licking groceries, etc) and rigorous testing, and the 5 northern Emirates followed suit. Dubai was hurting (because it's a tourism economy), and opened up much sooner, leading to a very heavy spike in cases - most of the current cases in the UAE are in Dubai, which like Europe could not afford to stay closed. Even now, travel between Dubai and Abu Dhabi is only allowed under exceptional circumstances.

> VSCode are written in JS and they have no performance issues

VSCode is not performant, especially on startup and especially when compared to editors like vim or sublime text. I agree that the reason likely isn't language choice though it's the use of electron. I don't agree with you about software not needing to be performant either, I believe developers should strive to make their software run as efficiently as they can.

Right but global variables are implicit. Function inputs/outputs are explicit. Another advantage is testing.

That said, I still think passing the world in and out of every function is too onerous for most real world programs, and functional programming definitely takes a too-extreme stance to be pleasant.

I think a better approach is a traditional language but with a functional subsystem where you can mark functions as pure.

> This is horrible. No doubt this is an allergic immune response to terrorism.

That was the start of Chinese persecution of the Uyghurs, but the current leadership in China has adopted a broad policy of persecuting racial minorities. I'm not sure what their ultimate motivations are but they are targeting many, if not most, of China's non-Han ethnic groups without regard to whether they pose a terrorism risk or not.
