It’s probably worth all of us with different views about lockdowns and restrictions bearing in mind that Sweden is not a control group for the rest of the world, and the rest of the world is not a control group for Sweden.

The Swedish authorities never suggested that lockdowns wouldn’t work in controlling the pandemic, in fact they acknowledged that they definitely would work in the short term; their core assertions were that the Swedish population would not be able to sustain involuntary restrictions until better treatments or a vaccine arrived, and that the harms caused by restrictions would be a net negative for their society. The jury is still out on those decisions, but they are rational.

In fact we’ll probably never know who chose the optimal policy mix to cope with the pandemic, and as a result we should give those with differing views an awful lot of slack as they try and negotiate it with limited resources and foresight (i.e. as humans).

For now, let’s just enjoy this good news about the people in Sweden at face value–we need it!
You are in time to add native support for Android TV, there is not even a native Google Photo app for Android TV and this could be a great addition.

For starters because copyright infringement doesn't carry jail sentences (unless the work is worth more than $2500, and you do it for intentional financial gain IANAL. Edit: i misunderstood this part slightly. Its an OR not an AND https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2319 ).

More importantly, because its bad business to sue your users who are providing you free advertising. In some cases twitch streaming may also be fair use. Many video game companies provide explicit permission to streamers to stream their video game - e.g. https://www.xbox.com/en-us/developers/rules

Twitch is also different because now both the original video game and the streamer both have a copyright of the result, where in the screenshot case, the person creating the screenshot didn't add anything artistic, so they dont have any copyright added to the result. Remember in USA, copyright is based on if you put something artistic into the end result, not how hard you worked (other countries are different, google sweat of the brow)

Wikimedia commons aims to be a repository of stuff that you can definitely use no matter what, without worrying that maybe the heir to some video game designer from the 80s comes out of hiding and makes a fuss. The images are still allowed on wikipedia, they just can't be in that section (think of it like the difference between debian main and debian non-free)
How would you handle state other than passing it around?

The fundamental thing that Haskell and Elm do is that they don't have mutable values. They create a new value from the old one. You never mutate a record the way you mutate a JS object or a Python dict.

I have made another comment in this thread where I make a distinction between what people _try_ to achieve, and what tradeoffs they make on the way.

You are right that most functional languages do not have pure and total functions. However, the inspiration they take from is usually the pure/total functions as described above.
That is very interesting. Did you ever catch any spooks trying to manipulate your source code?
The other phenomenon here is that an imperative program with immutable state is isomorphic (exactly the same) as a functional program.

Literally the same thing.
I’m missing how this is relevant to the Soviets defaulting.
I'd say there is quite an important conceptual difference in that the state monad example exactly desugars to pure functional code. Monads give us a good syntax for sequential computation, but this sequentiality is built out of purely functional components.
because eternal life conceptually feels like a coping mechanism it honestly never appealed to me, because the fact that it feels like coping kind of devalues it, to me there's more dignity in accepting death just head on. It might suck, but at least it feels like accepting things as they are.

Also it just weirds me out, like I'll end up trapped in an eternal versin of animal crossing or something. Of course religious people don't think of it like that and it's all more sublime and full of unity with god and so on but it still doesn't sound great.

i don't know if this is just the hacky pop-culture reading of Buddhism but I've always liked the idea of Nirvana more than the kind of stories told by the Abrahamic religions.
China has built almost 400 new camps since 2017, while new testimonies have emerged alleging slave labour, forced sterilisations and organ harvesting taking place inside the camps too.
I was like 200-300mi/km from that thing when that happened. That morning the plant was nice sky blue, on evening it was like archival photos of Dresden bombing, that weekend many of news shows were explaining how concrete walls worked as blowoff panel using mock-ups and what could be going on up there in Unit 4’s spent fuel pool, and by the end of that decade the Japanese society as a whole showed deterioration by equivalent of that amount on a national scale.

I’m still pro-nuke though! In fact the whole situation made me so. Before I was naively thinking we better seek alternate fuels.
CCP must not go unpunished. The world needs to stand up to their lone wolf style. If we do not stand up against CCP now it will only embolden the evil. Vote with your wallets. Avoid buying China made products. Pressure/ Make laws for retailers to enforce Country of Origin information for each and every product especially Amazon. Amazon is flooded with cheap Chinese products almost certainly made in inhumane conditions. CCP and Xi Jinping must not be emboldened any further.
Thanks for the links.

For the First, even Wikipedia warned that it lacks citations and verification, so I don't think it should be considered as a "creditable source". Also it's only a tiny portion of Xinjiang.

For the Second, even if we consider it 100% true, it doesn't really support the original claim from that interview article, in several ways:

1. It's a small portion of Xinjiang, and the claim _implies_ that the whole Xinjiang was "formerly East Turkestan before the Chinese invasion of 1949"

2. The Second ETR was pro-communism, pro-Soviet, pro-CPC, and against the rest of Xinjiang that's under RoC control. In 1949 CPC won the civil war against RoC (KMT), took control of all of Xinjiang. So I don't see in anyway it could be claimed that China invaded ETR in 1949.

One thing I don't understand is why do those condemn China's treatment of Uyghurs have to add the (likely dubious) claim of China invaded Xinjiang in 1949. It's not like doing a domestic (cultural) genocide is something "better" than invasion and genocide, so why add some dubious claim to your legitimate claim?

>The latest EU publisher payout copyright 'reform' -- which, among other things, banned photography of buildings and skylines

That sounds like absolute nonsense, unless you can cite a source. First of all the EU has no power to actually pass laws, only make draft recommendations. Secondly the whole "copyrighted buildings" thing is about prohibiting commercial use of a structure's image in advertisements etc.

Hyperbole does not help your cause.
Maybe to some. I really wouldn't want to live for hundreds of years. Eventually everything gets boring.
I am not defending the wars the USA has had. I also feel that the number of collateral damage in the past two decades has been absurd and unjustified. I did not vote for the man who allowed drone strikes on children. Thankfully, the United States has made an effort in the past four years to leave the Middle East.

Nevertheless, this does not justify the actions of the CCP eradicating a whole culture and it’s people. The argument is still unsubstantiated. No global leaders besides the current POTUS are condemning this behavior either, which is a shame. I can only vote with my wallet.
It's commin' right fer us!

Depends what do you want to manage in your infra. I also like to manage most of my infra so I usually use VMs, packaging (Packer) and custom deployment tools (Ansible) but for development workflows, tests, environment replication sometimes I use Docker. These are not interchangeable entirely.
I do agree with you.

However, I think pi sd cards get a bad rap because of marginal power supplies (very common before pi 4) and unclean shutdowns.

The CCP has no intention of repenting of their ways and will always be seeking to increase it's influence abroad; encouraging this kind of behavior everywhere. Of course fighting is not ideal, as uncomfortable as it is; sometimes fighting is necessary.

This isn't a problem that will just go away by wishful thinking or by being ignored.
One thing that I didn't like while using it was not being able to get logs out of it. So, you don't know if the issue is from zeromq or app itself. Most of the time, it was app itself but also found a few a bugs in Zeromq which took quite time to find it.

Other than that, great piece of software.

I am sad to say, we in the US, UK, and EU can barely save ourselves from our own domestic troubles to present a strong authority to counter these human rights abuses.

We kind of squandered our ability to police the world (right or wrong) given the distractions we created internally. Russia and China must be loving the situation.

>pure functions operating on a big table of world state

Who told you that? Sure you can simplify it as a function that is operating on a big table but there is no requirement for it to be pure. An attacking Entity A can mutate the HP values in entity B directly.
well, the definition of a linux distribution is a repository + a package manager.

This article does a fair bit of explaining: [1]

> The primary thing to understand is that the rc files are for all shell invocations while the profiles are strictly for interactive shells. An interactive shell is where you (end user) types the command while an non-interactive shell is when shells are launched by other programs such as a script with #!/bin/bash as SHEBANG value

[1] https://www.golinuxcloud.com/bashrc-vs-bash-profile/

So, what are use cases in which a non-interactive shell is launched? One example is a cron jobt that runs every night. It's basically the "cron" process executing a command which could be a bash script. Another example would be startup scripts that launch background processes and services which you'd find in /etc/system.

There's a distinction between interactive v. non-interactive and login v non-login as well [2]

https://dev.to/bijaykumarpun/linux-shells-interactive-non-in...

Typical issue would be adding something to your PATH variable in .profile, having your script work just fine in a shell, but having it fail when you run it as a cron job because .profile never gets sourced by cron.

Doctors, surgeons in particular, are both project manager and individual contributor. At peak IC work load, the manager role gets starved for cycles. A failure to track "X was intended - did it actually happen?" is a typical of this.

Having someone with you can help. "He's right, Doctor, the nurse hasn't yet ...". A role of maintaining a clear picture of project state, making sure everyone is on the same page, and more.
As long as 95% of the people in the US keep on buying items with their wallets open, and we're distracted with our own internal strife, what hope is there to counter this? Our leadership certainly isn't up to standing against this sort of thing these days.
After i was cured from cancer I also got another look on life. One thing I did was get a motorcycle again and I left my girlfriend.

Wish I woke up earlier though but better late than never!

There are ALWAYs two sides to these stories. Many are fabricated to apply for diplomatic immunity.

Uighers represent a very small minority of the overall Chinese population, but almost all domestic terrorism (when the campaign against their culture started in 2014). Yes, their religious culture is being attacked, yes many (most) are good people, yet as Muslims they self-identify as separate from the han culture. It also is used by "bad" Uighers to do hide crime, not pay taxes, etc. The muslim community has a very us vs them mentality which is not healthy for national unity that china ccp desires. So the Chinese are cracking down. China has a 5000 year old culture and a majority of people experienced significant hardships and starvation in the last century. They emphasize national unity (vs individalism) in a way western people cannot even begin to understand, but belonging to such a group is not entirely bad. This Uigher generation is suffering so the future uigher can fit into the society better.
This quote elsewhere in the thread lines up with my knowledge:

> Functional programming was never about first-class functions. It was always about programming with pure and total functions in their mathematical version.

Other people have correctly pointed out that this is an extremely ambitious idea, since, as they have noted, you can't build a turing-complete language with pure and total functions.

This very high bar explains why there has been so many different design decisions in languages, and why most fp languages make tradeoffs in order to reach a compromise between what they believe is important in that concept, and what they can pull in terms of usable software.

As I noted as a response to that thread, we have seen in the recent years languages that achieve pure/total functions, but this was only possible because so many forebearers had tried different designs, and comprmised to produce usable software they could iterate from.
His arguments are valid [1] but I still don't understand why that means dropping C++ entirely. Sure, C++ isn't a perfect superset of C, but you could mostly write C-style code in C++, right?

I've seen this sentiment before from C enthusiasts. Maybe it makes sense on the Linux kernel, where you don't want to keep telling contributors not to use the most common C++ features.

But I don't think it makes sense on very small projects, and maybe I just draw the dividing line for where it stops working at a different size of project than he did.

[1] Exceptions suck and constructors suck and C++ would be better if it was just Rust with no borrow-checker.
there's one worthy goal in life, and that's curing death, or alternatively, merging with a machine. The essence of our existence is the informational structure in our brains , and it's the only entity with agency in the universe. Moral views of death invariably assume there is another one, even if it is "the benign indifference of the universe", as camus said. The universe doesnt have indifference, and it can't help because in fact it doesnt exist, only my brain exists.

When people say copyright infringement requires distribution they mean you can't be tried in a criminal court for merely copying you can still be sued.
As someone who is now over a decade into their programming career, today I find more value in doing analytical breakdowns of my various success and mistakes. What were my oversights on a project? How could I have communicated better? What made one particular library a success, etc.?

Therefore, after years of Anki, I've stopped adding new cards and doing repetition; instead I now focus on keeping a code diary. I've published the first couple of hundred entries here so you can see what this entails:

https://www.semicolonandsons.com/code_diary

I see the relationship between my days of ankifying tidbits of knowledge and my current diarying as one of tactics vs. strategy. The Anki-stage was necessary to drill the basics. But now, a decade later, the focus is on the bigger picture — and trying to capture this bigger picture onto a double-sided flashcard is about as fruitful as trying to contain an ocean in a bathtub.
As long as the majority of the US population doesn't know or doesn't care about the issue, it won't make a whiff of difference. Everyone just keeps buying with their wallets open because it's cheap and available. All the while we distract ourselves with our ridiculous internal politics.
But can that be effective, really? Many times economic sanctions are a joke (see the ones dished out by the UN). If they become too hard, a nuclear state can threaten nuclear action just the same. What then?

The only "scandal" here is that Russians and Republicans are once more trying to recreate the "leaked emails" hitjob that worked so well on last election.

The reason why this hack worked before with Hilary Clinton is because FBI's James Comey was willing to help.

Maybe he will, when the election gets closer and the Republicans do panic real bad.

Maybe you mean optional totality? As in, a function can be declared to be total and the compiler tries to prove it?

A language cannot be Turing-complete if it completely forbids non-termination, there is no way around this. Or stated differently: If a language is Turing-complete, then there are programs that don't terminate. If a Turing-complete language only has functions which are total (i.e., which always terminate), then it has another mechanism which allows non-termination, e.g. unbounded loops and mutable state.

I don't understand how he takes no meaning out of this. The meaning is clearly that there shouldn't be a gaping hole on the top of a 5 story building that people can access. Or at least that you shouldn't walk around a building you're not familiar with at night.

Anyone who thinks there's no meaning to take from these kind of events is wasting a huge opportunity to learn that small things like a gap in a roof can mean life or death

And he goes back at the end! He feels the fear like he should, looks at the gap and is more concerned that he'll learn the wrong lesson than learning no lesson!
