+1 Trying to quickly build something based on Mono will probably result in a subpar solution, that they won't be able to really fix later on, because it would break backwards compatibility. End result will be half-fixed solution with some great technology, but with just enough underlying issues that will remain there forever. Classic Microsoft.

It takes vastly more energy to start and maintain a rolling boil for an hour than to reach 50c. If we where talking a giant scale industrial process then optimizing this stuff via heat exchangers would be a major consideration. However for a Dutch brewery located in such a cold area it’s much harder to justify such specialized investments with associated maintenance costs.

Remember this inherently allows them to load shift and thus get much lower electricity prices as well as reducing peak demand.

A decade ago Facebook did not own Instagram or WhatsApp. Framing this as "Facebook and Google have not changed how they operate" is disingenuous, seeing as Anti-trust has generally been enforced over what is in the interest of the consumer.

Google has always been an advertising company. Google's growing monopoly, however static their operating methods have been, is no longer viewed as in the consumers' best interest and is thus now under scrutiny.

I don't think it's all that accurate to frame this as "people in power are threatened by [big tech]'s power" when there are plenty of reasonable people making convincing arguments that big tech is no longer operating in the best interests of the consumer.

Some actions can extend the statute of limitations. In almost all states, fleeing the jurisdiction pauses the statute of limitations for the duration the suspect is not in the state. (Some states consider leaving the jurisdiction to be the same as fleeing, even if the intent was not to avoid criminal charges.)

Concealment is also generally grounds for tolling the statute.

And in some states, if criminal acts are related, the statute for the entire body of crimes doesn't begin until the last related criminal act.

This might be a stupid question but anyway...

Is there someone well-versed in a statically typed language who would still prefer python most of the time?
Could you explain why?

For me it's just the opposite. When I program I think about the types first. When I read code I care more about types than variable names. This is in my opinion the way to go even in C.

Also most python programmers I know are engineers and for them it would be a waste of time to learn C++.

Maybe because I was aware of what you are saying, that everyone shares their best experiences and moments, and even those in an inflated way and on top of this, FB will find those and make those posts more popular (because people will react to them more strongly). Though thinking about it, I never had this feeling when I've learned about this IRL while I knew some people actually can get envy (i.e. feel bad) when they hear others are doing good or have fun even if they were 100% OK with their situation before hearing that.
About the security content of iOS 12.4.9
"In the past, most programming activities were performed by software engineers. But programming skills are needed everywhere nowadays and there is a lack of good software developers,"

This is an important distinction and often missed from programming language discussions.

Engineering languages like C++, Java, Rust focus on being able to create robust APIs, handle incredible complexity, deal with dependencies, etc. Hacker languages like Python, PHP, erlang, and Go focus on an approachable language, libraries that tackle problem domains, etc.

There is obviously a lot of overlap. But I think it's good to keep in mind that engineering and hacking don't always align.
PPPSS. (Previous Poster's Point Still Stands). You could have cash buried in the desert and the IRS wouldn't be able to take it.

Under US forfeiture laws proceeds is defined as the following:

(A) In cases involving illegal goods, illegal services, unlawful activities, and telemarketing and health care fraud schemes, the term “proceeds” means property of any kind obtained directly or indirectly, as the result of the commission of the offense giving rise to forfeiture, and any property traceable thereto, and is not limited to the net gain or profit realized from the offense.

I suppose the BTC itself would be covered under "property of any kind obtained directly or indirectly, as the result of the commission of the offense giving rise to forfeiture"

And the BCH split coins would fall under "and any property traceable thereto, and is not limited to the net gain or profit realized from the offense."

It would appear that such a seizure is legit as 'traceable' is infinitely flexible. But I'm not a lawyer so don't take my word for it.
Presumably you wouldn't argue that because there are zero bystander injuries or fatalities that it is actually perfectly safe (for bystanders), right? You would just argue that there haven't been enough runs to accurately assess its safety. If ordinary "safe" car travel results in one fatality for every ten thousand trips (assuming all trips are equal apart from the 'cannonball' variable for simplicity) and if there have only been 50 cannonball run trips, it's entirely possible that cannonball runs are twice as dangerous as a regular trip and we would still expect to see zero bystander incidents in those 50 trips. The question is "have there been enough cannonball runs to accurately assess safety?".
They announced the Model 3 at $35,000 in 2016. The price for the standard range model on their website has fluctuated between $37,000 and $40,000 since then, and it's currently $38,000 including significantly improved specs compared to the 2016 announcement.

If the Cybertruck also ends up 15% more expensive than the original advertised price, it'll still cost dramatically less than any competitor.

I interpreted this as a comment about runtime performance:

> Try vanilla Node/JS if you want a faster Rails.

Understanding now that you meant development velocity (or whichever term), I contest that static typing is in impediment in general, but rather that it's an impediment for people who aren't used to it. Especially for those who don't care if their code is correct or if it only appears to be correct superficially, although someone will inevitably (and authoritatively) drag out some decades-old study which finds no significant benefit to static typing when comparing Python/Lisp to C++89/Java or something.
Though I think that the history is also likely more complex than that, regardless of the history, that still doesn't change my point. The electoral college process still serves us better than a simple majority would.

I agree there are possibly better ways, possibly force choice ranking, etc. But all a simple majority vote would do would be to ensure we would become a one-party system, the opposite direction we should be headed (a multiple-party system).

Having it be controlled by the states is a great testing bed for that, for example, in Maine. There's no reason to take that power away from states and make it federal.

IANAL, but my interpretation is that the part that is in the constitution is that it is up to the individual states to decide how to run their elections and assign electoral votes.

So while the hacking and money laundering aren't criminally liable, the coins themselves are proceeds from a criminal enterprise, and if you stand in the way of the government trying to get them you could be hit with obstruction(?).

Realistically regardless of the technical level of criminality I doubt that the FBI would let a billionaire be minted with DNM money.

There's been decades of production experience with IPv4 and does mostly what's expected.

Of course IPv6 shouldn't be trusted.

Allow me to share my two cents on the subject mon amie!

> As a Christian, to me life is about knowing God.

Religious definitions of God do not hold water to the trained mind in my view.

The idea that God cannot be comprehended by lesser beings is reasonable though. Does God exist?

The only answer that makes sense comes from Goethe's magnum opus:

MARGARET: Do you believe in God?

FAUST: who dares to confess:
‘I believe in him’?
Yet who, in feeling,
Self-revealing,
Says: ‘I don’t believe’?

How can a person find meaning? I don't think anyone can find meaning. Everyone can give meaning though and that is divine.

I like philosophy because enables a person to choose who this person wants to be.

If being a Christian has meaning for you, by all means do it! Be the best Christian you can be!

I've came across a talk by Roberto Saviano, the other day. He said something that stuck with me because it was the second time I came across that quote: "Be kind. Random, daily actions of kindness is the most terrifying form resistance!".

Socrates, the father of modern philosophy and for many the father of science, believed[1] that a person has an obligation to become the best version of himself. It's an interesting narrative.

[1] We don't really know what Socrates believed, all we know about him is through Plato. I don't find that important at this point in history, but being pedantic on this website is a virtue ;-)

For most "deep learning" algorithms, the typical approach is to "gradient ascent", following the slope of the hypergraph to find incrementally better-and-better results.

Genetic Algorithms however, do not necessarily need a gradient to find a better solution, though there's similarities between GAs and hill-climbing. This blogpost explores a conceptual similarity between traditional gradient ascent / backpropagation (currently a favored technique for neural nets), and how it relates to genetic algorithms.

No thanks. Voting may not be the prettiest, but it spreads it out. If you don't like things people are voting for, then convince them to do otherwise.

Depends on your scale.. As soon as you start to have to resort to overlapping private IPv4 networks it really starts to get fun if you have to connect certain things together that weren't planned to be able to reach each other initially.

Fair enough, maybe not the best example. The point is just that they'd have to beat around the bush and not be able to give a good enough reason that justifies a solid buyout price without admitting the monopolist strategy.
They should be releasing these products at auction until demand falls to their MSRP. The amount of money Nvidia, AMD, etc leave on the table looks substantial.

I could easily have seen the bidding wars on the first supply of 3000 series GPUs having people buying them for $1500+ easily with the 3070 selling for $1k at least.
What Would We Experience If Earth Spontaneously Turned into a Black Hole?
I agree, regardless of the numbers, there is a problem, but if SSRI's are not the problem, maybe getting people the help they need is the problem. Perhaps instead, many of those people hypothetically are chronic alcoholics, or maybe they are recovering opioid addicts who cannot deal with withdrawal and don't have the help they need ( Actually, psychedelics work wonders when trying to beat addictions ) .

My point is, you can't associate a rising number of suicide cases and believe there's a definite cause and solution.

It is not a black and white problem, and for that matter imho nether is "suicide and depression." Those two things are caused by so many infinite externalities in life, we cannot point to a solution with any sort of confident conviction.

In essence I see that and hear this:

"Oh look, that suicide statistic is caused by "XXX", and "YYY" is the solution.

It's more like...

"Oh look, that suicide statistic is caused by problems "X&$Y#", "DLKJER)(", "DOEKDHT&", "$%&DHTJ" ETC., and there are a ton of solutions for each problem.

TLDR:
we should legalize psychedelics for recreational use, not limited to medical purposes
HTML Layout System Importance
I listened to it some more, and he goes into this more specifically.

He says that because things has to work behind NAT these days ("or it won't get deployed"), then the effective address space of IPv4 is much larger.

For one it includes the source/destination ports, but in addition those ports can be time-multiplexed, so you get more effective bits out of that. He suggests the effective address space of IPv4 is closer to 52 bits.

On the flip side, in IPv6 the recommendation is for ISPs to hand out /48's. Add a few hosts inside there, and you got an effective address space that's roughly the same as the effective IPv4+NAT address space.

Don't shoot the messenger, listen to the podcast.
I'm a big CLI user, but my primary gripe with these sorts of interfaces vs a GUI is when they have a huge number of nested sub commands. I often find myself searching through the tree of possibilities running --help on every single level just to do something simple. Especially if what I'm trying to do may exist in disparate sub commands. With a web interface there'd likely be some kind of nested menu or dropdowns that offer more of a sense of the overall arrangement at a glance.

I'm always happy to have access to the CLI to be able to script things, but if it's the only interface to a service with many features it can be awfully cumbersome.

Sometimes with these deeply nested do-it-all CLIs I feel like I'm playing a text adventure trying to navigate a maze, constantly typing /look and /examine. Often these tools have so many sub commands that a man page is not helpful if it exists at all.
