Isn't this basically saying that you can't have the compiler guaranteeing you aren't including bugs in those optimizations / global variable usage because it's more efficient to just write and then ultimately ship some bugs?

To me it seems like this would require a significant adjustment in how certain problems are approached, but the outcome would likely be more effective development as you could eliminate a lot of cost that's spent dealing with bugs in the future.
Sure, in theory they could do that. But it would probably be a lot of work for literally zero payoff.

ADHD/Bipolar here, I really struggle with this, and using external tools is not an option, for me is just more multitasking risk!,something that works for me, aside from the drugs and good sleep, is a top down approach when programming, I just implement functions in terms of undefined magic functions/objects (all red in the IDE!) and start backwards implementing them, I used this "technique" when I was a Java developer using IntelliJ (CTRL+SPACE over undefined item -> implement). that kept my attention in easy chunks and well defined tasks. Type driven development is another "technique" I discovered, and it worked very well for me lately. Using the compiler as your guide and friend.

Anecdata: I was offered one of these liePhones at a Chinese airport, before going through the controls. They are very convincing at a glance, and the dudes offering them wear business suits, making it seem like it's an emergency sale.

I'm 100% for vaccines and I trust in the scientific process more than anything else. That said, how weird is it for someone like myself (late thirties, healthy, no direct contact with any human being) to just... wait it out? I am not too eager to be among the first humans to take a rushed vaccine.

So, how rushed is this vaccine? Is there any precedent with other vaccines that were developed this quickly? Is there a known risk, or is the risk simply unknown?

The whole point of IoT is for hardware vendors to get into subscription based business models to maximize revenue.

We've seen that with thermostats that stopped working until you pay more, and we've seen that a lot with internet-ready "cloud printers" that stopped working, too.

IoT, by design, implies less control (and less privacy) on the consumer side.
> "is extremely far right"

Again, in relation to what? It's the right, as according to current American politics because that's the context.

There is no "grand scheme" of things, you just picked a different context. Things would be different still if we went back to the Civil War or Ancient Greece.

> "productive conversations with those people, that's your choice. But say that, don't claim they're being disingenuous."

I'm not, I'm asking simple questions that go unanswered. The only reasoning I received was that you want people to recognize a shift. But since you claimed that the shift was being "ignored" as marketing and propaganda, isn't highlighting that shift effectively the same? I find it more so actually since politics changed naturally so it's the activist position to claim what the parties "really" are based on a selection from the past.

And immigration refers to people, not trade. Clinton made this speech [1] in 1995, but if any Democrat made the same speech today they would be vilified. That shows the left hasn't shifted to the right at all, they shifted even more to the left.

It seems like Slingbox doesn't have a NAT-proof solution, and has been using their servers as reflectors, which suggests there's an ongoing opex cost for the bandwidth and maintenance that isn't sustainable.

If they'd charged a subscription fee they might have more incentive to run the servers. Too bad their focus was on "no monthly fees"!

Dish also might have an upcoming/future motive to get Slingbox users to replace it:

Forgive my ignorance, what speed internet do 98% of Canadians have currently?

Is this a speed bump or a no internet vs internet scenario?

Those are two very different propositions.

If it's access to the internet, that's a great idea. If it's a speed bump - I'm not interested in paying for someone else's luxury. If you want luxury - go ahead and purchase it.

Also, if we're going to government sponsor access to High-speed internet, we should convert internet service providers to a government service as well.

How does it make sense for tax payers to pay for internet service hardware and have corporations come in and make profit off of it?
It’s not good or bad it’s whether society as a whole should be bestowing such gifts on banal office administrators, in terms of real daily work.

If they want to leave the nation that built them, it’s America’s wealth; fat tax inbound.

These are normal mortal men.

Believing they can live some decoupled free agent life on humanities tab for their accomplishments which are banal business at the core of it, not novel science, is no different from creating a monarchy and its regents, etc

They are normal men. Not deities. This is the first era where their mess being left behind isn’t just some stone fortresses and a handful of factories. This has been accomplished at great environmental cost.

They’re just people.

The real issue isn't fairness, it's outcome. The problem with municipal ISPs is that they are very likely to end up providing worse service and being more expensive than private options, but hiding the true cost by using tax money to subsidize the operation. Thus, you end up with a very expensive, low quality option that makes alternatives non-viable (as most people won't be willing to pay for the true cost of the service on top of all the taxes being used to pay for the municipal one).

> I've rarely, if ever, had to re-configure anything major.

I suspect we differ significantly in the sorts of configuration we do.

Also, please note that I mostly gave up on desktop Linux around 2006, after using it for 9 years straight as my only desktop OS. I kept using it for some things until earlier this year for work, and the update woes were still present, albeit smaller than in the past (maybe that's a Fedora-specific thing?). It's quite possible that even for a primary desktop the situation is better than it was in 2006, but at least for my use cases I'm at this point in "it ain't broken, don't spend time to fix it" territory wrt my OS. If that changes and there are things I want to do that macOS doesn't let me do, I will of course start looking at other options.

> I think last time we lost the ability to even run 32-bit apps...

Indeed, and for some people that's a deal-breaker. For me specifically it was a non-issue; everything I use had long ago upgraded to 64-bit. I had to install a newer version of DOSBox than I had before; that's it.

Again, this is not going to be everyone's experience!

Upshot: I'm glad we have the various options we have right now, since it's pretty clear that different people experience them very differently and value different tradeoffs. I would be very sad if any of them disappeared.
Long term effects of covid seems awful though. This, as with any vaccine or medicament out there (or actual living for that matter) is a quest to hit a sweet balance:

- Yes, you can avoid covid and potential long effects of vaccine by living in a cave for the next 10 years.

- You can "gamble" on a 0.01% chance of getting any long-term effects from the vaccine in exchange of getting 90% safe from covid.

I take this "gamble" every year with a flu shot, because to me it sounds safer than getting flu followed by pneumonia.

If everybody waits for the other 99% of people to get vaccined before them, so we can a free-ride on the herd immunity, we would never reach herd immunity.

I don't know of any drug that is 100% safe. Heck, even a tampon could send you to the grave. For this kind of vaccinations, we should have a margin of confidence that, being similar to other vaccines in composition but just changing the viral load, long term effects should be similar. The Moderna vaccine is a different animal.
Seems to have fixed it by going to iPhone Storage -> Google Authenticator -> offload app -> reinstall app.

But yeah, time to think about slowly moving away...
The 90% is more like this. You have a twin who lives exactly the same life as you. You get vaccinated but anti-vax Andy doesn't. Andy is 10x more likely to get Covid than you are now.
The vaccine was tested on 44,000 people and they will spend two more months watching for adverse effects. If it is shown to be safe after that period, it's extraordinarily safe for you to take.
Hopefully a more nuanced view would come out of reading the piece.
I have to second this. I've been using PyCharm for the last 6 months after 25 years as a primarily-Vim user (I've used various IDEs over the years before and during). The features of PyCharm are undoubtedly very useful, but actually typing code is like swimming through molasses in comparison.

There's a very good chance you will never be able to wait this out, SARS-CoV-2 could easily become another endemic coronavirus. In that situation you're getting to get exposed eventually unless you become a recluse, and you'll be better off with the vaccine than without it.
Don't be so sure. A name like Game Boy could be seen as assuming the gender of the gaming audience, and alienating females from playing games. It's stupid, I know, but that's current-year thinking for you.

That's a really difficult claim to swallow. Especially without further explanation than a wall of citations that I'm not going to bother chasing because I know the claim is false. At least provide a quick synopsis/summary for why crypto fails at any given one of those.

Bottom line: Most cryptocurrencies may not be very good at any of those, but that doesn't mean they aren't used in those capacities at all.

Similar here: I've had a bottom-of-the-range Samsung laser for over 10 years, and it just keeps going (using cheap 3rd-party toner cartridges), despite periods of relatively heavy use for a "home" printer (hundreds of pages per day, at times). But I'm not sure what I'll do when one day it finally dies.

That’s one opinion. I personally am put off by the tastes and smells of animal fats and proteins. Perhaps it’s because I consider animal products to be very unhealthy and environmentally harmful. The percentage of people in developed countries that are either vegetarian or vegan is increasing and McDonals is clearly trying to service this demographic.
No, it’s saying that you can do clever memory optimizations that the Rust compiler won’t let you do.
What I find more impressive is Moderna was finalized in February, and most of the other candidates were finalized by March.

If we could somehow develop rapid testing in some way, it's shocking to me that the vaccine could have entered mass production by the Summer.

There was a time where the only true way to test a new model Aircraft was to build one, but nowadays pretty much every characteristic is well understood by the time it enters service. To reach a similar point with vaccine testing will be important when the next pandemic hits.
Cryptocurrencies are an innovation and they have value. We can debate the extent of this and what practical applications can really be built. However, outright dismissing them as garbage does no justice to the debate.

Scanning the Wikipedia page for 5-HTR1A, it looks like most of the studies were done in the first decade of the 21st century, when the candidate gene (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candidate_gene#Criticisms) approach was at its height, before it became known that many of these studies were statistically underpowered and thus likely detecting noise. So I'd be skeptical of any associations between 5-HTR1A and personality unless there's been recent follow-up.
personally I think 1 month is the peak for me. I love that feeling of building a routine in a new place. Right now I feel like any place is going to get boring because we are stuck.

I'm not sure what Turing completeness has to do with such a problem. There's a theoretical non-Turing complete subset of HTML+JS that has all the problems you claim, meanwhile Markdown with a built-in lambda calculus interpreter is Turing complete yet much less problematic. I think you're overcomplicating things for yourself by bringing terms like 'Turing-complete content' into the discussion, surely it just suffices to explain that the more powerful the system, the more open to abuse it is?
> Citizenship is something that ought to be earned and given to people who show that they want to live in and contribute to a country.

I mean, first, citizenship is made up. Many people have dual citizenship, and many countries will give you citizenship for ancestorship. And, of course, most countries offer citizenship to newborns who aren't contributing much and don't currently care about the country they're living in (and some countries, like the US, do so for babies born in the US to people who aren't citizens).
As someone else pointed out, they’re owned by Dish, so I think “reputable” and “better functioning” are probably out the window.
