Yes yes but they are not "fun". Like Python is.

Clojure is especially messy piece of spaghetti code, if you are not already familiar with the underlying engine.

Commonlisp is just ugly with very annoying error processing (how do I get out of here (I made recursive error (while trying to exit from error (what (is (this (shit))))))))).

Scheme is for academics, full of weird stuff, like (local ..), which I am not gonna learn ever.
The jobs AI replaces now are the kind of jobs a few pick because they love them (hence would enjoy another job less), and most pick because they have no other choice (hence they chose the best they could and any other job is almost guaranteed to be worse). These most basic of jobs are taken by people who aren't really qualified to do a more skilled or better paying job and to get qualified they certainly need resources. Losing the job they have does not help.

Almost nobody chooses a cameraman, truck driver, or supermarket cashier jobs if they actually had a legitimate choice between that and a well paid tech job. But most people here have well paid tech jobs and a narrowed view of the issue.

Imagine taking that old food away from a poor person because they now have the possibility to go have a nice juicy steak.
This is a definitive possibility and an interesting point, not sure why you're being downvoted.
The point is, why use it at all if both values are equivalent to "missing"? I don't see a practical difference between undefined and null in the vast majority of cases, which is the the author is arguing.

Again: In the vast majority of cases. I'm sure you'll find your exceptions.

But why? If murderers should be disenfranchised then why not jaywalkers? People who leave the shopping carts in the middle of a parking lot? I would like to see people who have car alarms but don't shut them off for over five minutes be disenfranchised as well. Where does this end?
Well, if you have been following up on blogs, community videos and github issues, most likely by the time .NET 6 comes out, the stack will look like Windows 7 development model never went away and the only improvement was replacing COM with the improvements brought by UWP.

>Isn’t infrastructure chronically underfunded?

Both can be true at the same time. There's really no contradiction here, the opposite in fact.

Infrastructure being underfunded may very well be a symptom of infrastructure projects becoming way too expensive.
I'm a little confused by your comment. As far as I understand, a "missense" mutation is a basic one nucleotide change which results in a change of one amino acid for the encoded protein.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missense_mutation

23andme uses a "Illumina Infinium Global Screening Array" to find single nucleotide changes at certain locations, so isn't that exactly the type of thing they are detecting?
A valid nitpick actually.

> Then covered with concrete using less than 10% what was ordered.

I'm curious about the logistics of this scam. Does this mean the concrete delivery would show up on the books of the concrete company as two orders, one for the 10%, and one (or more orders) for the remaining 90%? Or was the concrete company in on the scam for a kickback so nothing would show up on their books nor the contractors' books?

With so much being automated and tracked these days, is it squeezing out these scams?

I think maybe you conflate complaining with hostility. Humans, even rational ones, complain when things go counter to their expectations. It's normal human behaviour, and everyone, everyone does it. It's so universal and basic, an AI would probably not be complete without it.
> See I proved them wrong, they should have gotten into it... Right? Wrong! Nobody cares!

You're right, just like the OP is right. The people you're talking to you don't care about the specific things that you care about (privacy in your case, improved learning/memory in the OP's case).

That's understandable - different people care about different things.
> > Rather than spend energy arguing about letting incarcerated people vote, it seems more useful to make sure that nobody is being locked up for victimless crimes and taking a harder look at why anyone is being locked up for non-violent crimes.

> They are orthogonal problems. Solving one doesn't solve the other.

I disagree. If incarcerating people weren't an effective method of both denying people you don't like a vote and stealing their voting power for the people in your state that you aren't excluding through incarceration, there'd be a lot less incentive for mass incarceration.

Of course, that's an argument for making voting for the incarcerated the first focus, since it naturally makes it easier to solve the other problem.

Maybe there's a hybrid approach. For instance, I can imagine a rope-like data structure where the nodes are sized to a cache row for example. It might not be optimal from a memory usage standpoint, but there are probably use cases where it could make sense
1) The US owns the SWIFT network and monitors transactions globally.

2) During the Falklands War, Argentina was prevented from buying munitions since South American banks were monitored for transactions with Europe. Like any bureaucracy, once they used a bank, they never moved to a new one after a transaction.

The laws don’t always follow with the times. In the past things like homosexual acts were criminal acts. Is it fair to disenfranchise people because of this? Likewise is it fair to disenfranchise people who were locked up for minor/petty drugs use which is now legal in various states?

It’s not something easy to agree with, I sometimes have a hard time agreeing with it for especially severe criminals, but being able to vote regardless of criminal history is key to preventing a dictatorship emerging and passing laws to lock up people they disagree with/supress dissidents/ensure only their supporters can vote. Yes I realise this seems all very rhetorical. Until it isn’t.

Sure, you could just wait for the people to revolt against the dictator, but why not put systems in place to avoid it in the first place?

Right! My “40 includes wind + gas” was confusing, and if that’s “40 on average”, my bad.

My point was to address the idea that nuclear is too costly as a long term solution, which I think (?) OP was using that cost/MWh comparison to intent.

FTR though, I do appreciate that gas + renewables can be a nice transition strategy (like the UK seems to have done to eradicate coal).

> There is no 30/70 split as you imagined.

It seems you understood I was talking about a 30/70 split in cost. That is not what I said: I was talking about a 30/70 split in usage.

But FTR, even in the sense I intended, you’re right, the number 30/70 is wrong, or at least it can only be valid under specific conditions that I’m not really able to quantify (electricity mix, coverage of demand, etc), and I hadn’t thought it through a lot.
Just heard of draw.io for the first time. The product seems extremely polished. And it's free. And it's open source. And they have a non-trivial team. And they don't force you to sign up. And they make money. (I understand as a paid addon in Atlassian.) I'm buffled. Very interesting.
In what world are we living that protecting an innocent citizen is portrayed as a crazy idea? I don't mind if they give her 24/7 security, if they watch 24/7 people who they suspect want to harm her, whatever. IMHO police #1 role should be protecting the people.

I would also argue that in the long term this should pay off. Protect the lawyer, stop crime organizations, save much money later because less security needed. Don't protect the layer == more crime == more future expenses.
First impression is solid. Good Luck.
All I hope is that they'll think about corporate firewalls and provide a simple way to mirror the whole thing (including their gnat-subscriber-only & tools&libs versions). Or at least provide some kind of Web page with all the download links for the transitive dependencies for a package...

PYPI kills me everytime I need to run any ML stuff, and I wish there was a systematic page to d/l all transitive dependencies (at least from requirements files and maybe setup.py static interpretation...)
This sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Manager: “I appreciate straight, direct communication. Say what you are thinking, and say it without wrapping your message.”

Employee 1, taking the advice literally: “I like hats! Do you like hats? Also green, green is good. And chocolate. But everyone likes chocolate, so that doesn't count.

Manager: “You’re mad. Security!”

Employee 2, taking it honestly but not literally: “Our product is making people’s lives worse. Every study ever made of our business says so. Why don’t we spend all this money doing something worthwhile?”

Manager: “Not a team player. Security!”

The rest of the employees either keep their heads down or take this as an invitation to get chummy with the manager, offering sage advice from the last tweet they read.

I hope I never work at a place like that.

That's a good point, they are quite related. Certainly not "orthogonal".

Still the reasons for mass-incarceration are multifold and how much the voting rights issue is a motivation for it is anybodies guess. There are also simply economical reasons.

I still think, it is sensible to address both issues. Addressing one will likely help the other, but I have my doubts that it will be as effective as addressing both.

You're comparing performance of almost 20 year old computers to your current machine. It takes 3 seconds to start paint.
The webpage is 'only' using 85-101MB ram to do nothing.

Remind you that the requirements were: 233MHz CPU + 64MB RAM

Let's say you're running a late 2019 macbook pro 13". That's:

16384MB RAM, and 1400-3900 MHz cpu (x8 threads) with 8MB cache. Which includes branch etc etc.

All that aside, it looks pixel-perfect to me, and it behaves the same afaict :-)

"Works for me" is the cynical part. For example, the Chaos Computer Club once used the phrase as the catchphrase for the 33C3 conference to highlight the problem [0]. It's defined as...

Usually connotes a dismissive approach, where anything that is not visible immediately to the developer is "someone else’s problem" and is therefore not worth fixing.

You overestimate police possibilities just take into your mind that there is something around 100 000 police people to take care of 38 000 000 population of whole country.

So yes your best option for not getting robbed/mugged is not to walk in the dark alleys unless you really need to. There is not going to be a policeman in every dark alley.

"just works" is a big factor.

Another part is front end vs back end.

Sounds like kindof like an Optional<Optional<Value>>. An optional is just a container of at most one element, so you could emulate that with a singleton list, having None mean not specified, [value] be value, and [None] be explicit lack of value.
Congratulations to all involved, this looks like a great addition to the Ada ecosystem.

I like the use of tags to clarify which projects are in SPARK.

I realise it's in beta, but, some feedback: on the linked Crates page, there doesn't seem to be a way to browse the source of the projects. I was expecting to be able to click a link and be taken to something akin to a GitHub page, but this doesn't seem to be possible. Some of the crates link to project home pages.

Also, it would be neat if the Network graph page showed which projects were in SPARK, perhaps by using colour.
