> To me, that implies you conflate laws with ethics. Again, probably due to some fundamental disagreement on the nature of law (or ethics).

I don't think laws are the same as ethics, but I do think that laws and especially changes to the law are a means to an end.

> This is not too dissimilar from the common refrain of, "I may not agree with what you have to say, but I support you're right to say it." It's an explicit acknowledgment that there's a difference between what's legal and what's ethical/preferential/whatever.

I don't think it is. People who say that think that everyone saying what they think is ethical/preferential/whatever; they may disagree with that person's views, but they think a world where everyone says what they think is better than a world where people keep their disagreeable views quiet. Or they value having a spread of views rather than a monoculture. They'd prefer the person not have those particular views at all, sure, but the thing they want to legalise is the thing that they want to happen, when viewed at the right level of abstraction.

If you want to encourage people doing what they like with code they found rather than worrying about what the author permits them to do, then fair enough, but I don't think using an obscure license is an effective means to that end. (I've heard some people advocate "license anarchy" - deliberately not putting any license on code they publish, so that it's most easily used by people who don't worry about licensing - of course, this prevents the kind of corporate use you're also wanting to encourage). People who are actually going to check which specific license you're using are already a minority. People who are going to check the minutiae of your reasoning and not just assume that you mean the same thing by using the UNLICENSE that most people using the UNLICENSE mean are a fraction of a fraction. And if the upshot of all that is that you just want them to act the same way they would if your code was under the MIT license, then all you're going to do is piss them off.

I mean, I've put more time and effort into understanding this than the vast majority of users will, and I still have very little idea what you actually, concretely want people who find your code to do. Use it only in free programs? Use it in proprietary programs with attribution? Use it in proprietary programs without attribution? A philosophical position is all well and good, but people looking at a license are mostly trying to find out what they concretely should or shouldn't do.
As someone who is largely aromantic and asexual, I have many times considered adopting a child with a close friend, because although romantic/sexual relationships don't appeal to me much, I would still love to be a parent, and have a (somewhat) traditional nuclear family.

It's definitely a possibility, let's see if it works out.
What's unfortunate is that Massachusetts already has good right-to-repair laws; the only thing this ballot measure changes is that car data must be accessible wirelessly, which frankly I think is a terrible idea. (The idea of cars needing firmware updates is ludicrous to me, but I realize that opinion may not be shared by many people.) I agree, however, that the messaging of the measure's opponents was just plain bad.

Edit: in re existing laws, see the 2012 ballot measure, which required that independent repair facilities have access to the same vehicle diagnostic and repair information available to manufacturers' dealers and authorized repair facilities.

1. Isn't that just a reflection that union types don't form monads? I find it's not a big deal most of the time and when it is just convert so that you have legitimate maybe types, for example like the Option type provided by Kotlin Arrow. You don't lose type safety either way since the type system won't let you use one in place of another.

2. I assume you're talking about `do` notation (bind/return + ap/pure if ApplicativeDo is turned on) and `for` comprehensions (flatMap and map + filter/filterMap if you use `if` statements) respectively? It's a minor pain that they don't exist, but ultimately not something that I find is a huge deal. Besides I'm not actually a huge fan of those syntaxes. They force you to rewrite code in A-normal form, which means that wrapping monadic types can cause large rewrites to your original code.

I much prefer an approach like Scala's monadless (https://github.com/monadless/monadless), perhaps with additional syntactic markers indicating that this is a syntactic macro rather than a function, which does not force users to rewrite their code entirely in A-normal form. Kotlin has something similar to this (coroutines) which is what Arrow Fx uses, but again, like many other things in Kotlin, it's hard-coded to be only one thing and cannot be generalized to other monads. However, it's a nice middle ground for marking side effectful code and syntactically much nicer from my point of view than either do notation or for comprehensions.

3. Honestly pattern matching isn't a huge deal for me. Destructuring gets me a lot of what I want and the much bigger deal is exhaustive sum type checks, which Kotlin provides in its `when` declarations. Experimental inline types are fine with me. They're stable enough and I've never really regarded `AnyVal` in Scala to be any more stable (it fails in a bunch of corner cases to the point that some codebases entirely eschew it in their style guides). Opaque types in Scala 3 will hopefully fix this and Haskell's newtypes are great. The two main differences in type systems for day-to-day code are lack of higher-kinded types and lack of typeclasses. As Elm and F# demonstrate I don't think either are fatal blows.

Speaking of Scala 3 I really hope it goes well. I'm still a tad nervous about introducing indentation-based syntax since it seems like a needlessly divisive choice for little benefit, but we'll see how it goes.

That's the beauty of due process. Once the child molesters get tried, convicted and imprisoned, the telephone company won't be providing them the service because laws say you don't get a phone line in your cell. What is happening now is attempts to replace due process with the "loudest mob wins" where the mob is also allowed to attack the witnesses and defenders of the accused. Economical lynching really.
Why? There's no need to use some game-theoretic machine for getting data when you can just get it direct from the source.

I just got a Brother duplex color laserjet. I plugged it into our network and went to my computer expecting to need to spend the next half hour setting it up on Linux.

It was just... there. Printed immediately with no fuss, including duplex.

But honestly, I got the Brother printer because HP ink cartridges are filled with DRM and I have no reason to think they won't obsolete a cartridge model in order to force people to buy new printers. In fact it seems naive to think they won't, even if they try they will inevitably have to discontinue things.

The "transfer of conscious processes" does not seem more feasible to me at all. We have absolutely no way to do that right now, we don't even know what consciousness is. I don't know of any research avenues on the subject either, if you know of some some I'd be interested to read about it.

For my best friend, the worst part was having parents who were constantly fighting and creating a toxic environment, but refused to separate because "we're staying together for the kids". They often took their frustration with each other out on said kids.

Took then over a decade of therapy to get over the emotional damage and abuse.
I am unsure how to guess how long the HP DRM'd laserjet ink cartridges will continue to be manufactured before they either jack up the price due to low production volumes or discontinue them to force people to buy new printers.

So instead I got a Brother printer. Sorry HP, not this time.

Eating after a prolonged period of starvation can itself be very dangerous, and even fatal. It’s called refeeding syndrome.
Where did you get these #s from? This is a progressive tax and only affects income above the threshold. If you make 150k as a single earner, you don’t pay 1.5% on 150k, you pay 1.5% on 150k-125k, or 1.5% of 25k which is $375. And that’s if you didn’t reduce your income in other ways (401k contributions, pretax health or child care, HSA, etc.)
The test ban absolutely would prevent it, but modern H-Bombs have next to no fallout, because the fission device is very efficient.

I CAN argue the moon is made of ten year old sharp cheddar... doing so would make me seem like an idiot. There are times the “other side” is an idiot’s game. Assuming, for no reason, decriminalization will incentivize addiction is absurd. And, if we’re going to be absurd, why waste our time on such woefully boring and depressing absurdities as “decriminalization incentivizes addiction?” I’d much rather debate why the moon’s core must be made of fresh nacho cheese to create its sharp outer layer.

I would love it if that became more of a thing - arranged marriages organized by first parties.

Personally I don't need the flirting and dating and romance and all that stuff. What I need is someone who shares my values and is willing to enter into a marriage as a social contract. Being married has a ton of personal and social benefits, and having a spouse who brings in as much income as you works like an insurance policy of sorts in a number of life situations (e.g. long-term job loss).

Obviously there needs to be chemistry if both parties are interested in a monogamic sexual relationship being part of their marriage. But if both parties are willing to dispense with all the dating rituals, that can be determined in seconds.
Let me first say sorry. I know it's a bit unrelated.. but it seems like the right people are here. Is there any kind of open source database that is close to Amazon's QLDB? ideally as a postgresql plugin.

Also: is there any "distributed database system" that allows to synchronize for example some tables (or even specific fields) of a server-side database with a third-party client (which might be sqlite vs postgresql in the server side), so that only part of the database is synchronized, in a secure way? this "slave" should not be trusted, think about it as a web user.

Computers are still cool, I still have my collection of Unix workstations from 20yrs ago all rotting away in the garage, SGI indigo, sparcstations, HP servers,, decstations, IBM machines. The only thing that made them cool back them was they were different! They were not x86, they had weird/different CPUs and gcc -S provided a very different output. They ran weird Unix OS such as IRIX, HPUX, AIX, BSD, SunOS & Solaris which allowed one to see a different take on things. sometimes they brought their own advantages, Solaris had really cool software, the only thing amazing about the SGI was the Monitor and the color, just beautiful. These were fun to network, hookup and share with Unix fiends so we didn't get into trouble using other folks computer.

Yet, I find that I'm still experiencing that same sort of fun, the raspberry pi, Arduino, GPUs, Xeon Psi, Google Coral, all sorts of cheap FPGA, if you want hardware, you got it! Tons more are now available with documentation. If you want software, you got it, Linux, BSDs, and you can still run NetBSD on your toaster. If you want programming languages, there's more available now than ever. Even getting access to a solid Lisp or Prolog system back then was a pain, you can get access to many choices for free today. Then you have latest and newest shiny things like Rust, Go, Javascript/Typescript, Haskell, Ocaml, Idris, elm, dart, etc.

Computers have never been this freaking cool! Craziest thing is that a $5 raspberry pi zero that fits between 2 fingers, could run circles around some of those cool computers of yesteryears. The past was fun then, the future is much fun IMO.
Not really, neurons are one of the few types of cells that don't undergo a cycle of death/creation of new cells. The neurons you had when you were born are the same you have now. They probably encode a lot of information that would be lost if they died and were replaced by fresh cells.

For me scala's feature set is absurdly big and there are always 10 ways todo things. Look at the spec of Scala. Its 200 pages long. That's insane.

I'd rather use Kotlin.
Yep. You can even install f-droid on Amazon fireTV sticks using the sideload feature.
On the JVM, I think Scala won't have any major issues it is just another guest language and isn't used to sell InteliJ licenses.

Kotlin is chaining itself to Android, it will rule there thanks to Google's sponsorship, on everything else it is just yet another language to chose from with a weaker eco-system, used to sell InteliJ licenses.
But you only need to break it up. Perhaps that could be achieved?

Again, I question whether removing consequences from drug use incentivizes people to quit, and assert that for many people, having real consequences can be the catalyst to make healthy changes. I am speaking from experience. Of course there are many people in the world and I'm not claiming everyone is the same.

I looked up info on Portugal and this is what I found:

> The reality is that Portugal’s drug situation has improved significantly in several key areas... However, such improvements are not solely the result of the decriminalization policy; Portugal’s shift towards a more health-centered approach to drugs, as well as wider health and social policy changes, are equally, if not more, responsible for the positive changes observed. Drawing on the most up-to-date evidence, this briefing clarifies the extent of Portugal’s achievement, and debunks some of the erroneous claims made about the country’s innovative approach to drugs.

> Portugal decriminalized the personal possession of all drugs in 2001. This means that, while it is no longer a criminal offence to possess drugs for personal use, it is still an administrative violation, punishable by penalties such as fines or community service.

So it seems that there are certainly indicators that decriminalization has certain positive outcomes, but it's not entirely due to decriminalization, and as they allege may be more impacted by changes to social health policies and perspectives. And further, they have not completely removed consequence from drug use. There are still civil penalties and other consequences.

To me that strikes a sort of balance and seems preferable to cart-blanche decriminalization.

To do edit and continue with it you're really going to want full serialization, so if you eg model events as a closure instead of plain data, you're toast (coming from an outsider's perspective).

If the base engine supplies you with full serialization support for the inbuilt features and a list of rules to follow to maintain it, you're golden.

Go is like SQL, where it's pragmatic for TEAM work, where your teammate has little background on programming, because Go code is easy to follow, extend (copy and paste and modify).

In my case, my team is composed of most of DBA experts, they have no problem following Golang code.

So your programming languages of choice should base on your team.

Good experience from installation to upload and reviewing the cast!

Things I really liked:

1) the electron app records my voice and screen and then gets transcribed with some API in the back: as an English speaker with a thiccc accent this worked very well

2) git all the things: as you type and you record your screen, all changes are staged and time-stamped so you can quickly grep the result and find when you said or typed certain things. That is major useful for code-reviewing so you can go back during your pair session and immediately find things.

My only fear is that all this data is stored somewhere outside of my realm, and if it records personally identifiable data of some sorts from my screen, I never will feel like I will be able to make sure the recordings/transcripts are gone-gone.

The Kotlin spec is...

275 pages: https://kotlinlang.org/spec/pdf/kotlin-spec.pdf
I really enjoyed writing Scala code. I'd agree with your evaluation with respect to the expressiveness and power provided by the language.

...but the tooling, at least at that time, was terrible. SBT was terribly overcomplicated, and full of foot-guns. I spent far too much time debugging dependency collisions, issues created by so-called "autoplugins" and other nuances that had nothing to do with getting real work done.

Now I'm writing a lot of Go. I'll admit, it's not nearly as fun to write. There's a lot less creativity and expressiveness -- though I think this is probably a good thing. But it also feels like I'm getting a lot more stuff done, and the tooling is amazing.

I don't really see how this comment makes sense, shaming a pedophile is going to make them more likely to seek treatment. While it's bad to demonize people with mental illness, these people don't typically think they have a problem, unlike depression or alcoholism the victim is someone else not the mentally ill, they typically won't care until they are shamed.

I'm just saying this website should have a warning because I can 100% guarantee pedophiles are trawling it looking for access to children, like they would any other kid based online forum.
Capitalism is about profit. How could a post-scarcity society (assuming that were possible, which it isn't) further anyone's profits?
