> Any code which you do not know how to structure within Java's type system can be written with some Objects/Maps/Collections and a bit of runtime logic
Yeah, but that means jumping through hoops because of the lack of the typesystem. And that's what many people don't like, hence the whole thread. For you that might be fine, but please understand that there are other people out that who are not okay with it so easily.

Not jumping through hoops... the point is that you can write untyped code in Java similar to JS with similar complexity. If you really think JS is somehow better in this regard then writing horrible poorly-typed Java is not very different.

> Rather the opposite.

The opposite as in Java is arguably the most relied-upon language for enterprise-grade backend code, because it lacks 99% of features people would want? Okay.

> Every big project that uses reflection/introspection or annotations or some kind of code generation tooling shows that the typesystem is not sufficient.

Annotations and reflection are a feature of Java, they are not external to the language. Annotation and code generation are separate features from the type system - Rust's code generation and annotations are very commonly used. Reflection is equivalent to runtime typechecking that is common in JS. How can you say Java is worse then JS in this regard when the poor parts you point out are basically what JS does?

> And then Java does not even have proper sumtypes or union types (enums only work when the structure is identical and I mean... we could count some strange workarounds with static classes and private constructors that pretty much no one uses due to horrible ergonomics). And these literally appear everywhere.

First of all JS and Python do not have these either, so saying that Java is somehow worse in this regard is ridiculous. Furthermore the usefulness of sum types is fairly limited - what problem are you trying to solve with sum types in Java? Implementing an Either<A,B> is trivial in Java.

> I diagnose that you are suffering from the famous http://wiki.c2.com/?BlubParadox

I think that applies to you a lot more. You're criticising Java for giving you a whole bunch of features which don't exist in Python or JS, while also saying the language sucks compared to Python/JS because it doesn't have features of Haskell. The fact that you think JS is somehow closer to Rust than Java makes me think you have very limited experience with these languages.

Censorship is the last-resort solution. Ideally, you'd want to have control over people's education and social structures to prevent deviation before any censorship is even needed.

It's a real shame, because it seems we had reached a peak with the advent of mandatory state school and television. Now things are going downhill with more and more diverse subcultures allowed to build upon themselves and explore the limits and avenues for improvement in their ideas.

There has to be a way to keep people in line with our society's values while still giving them an impression of freedom.
It's funny because I have all these (though it's been a few years since I've been doing C++ development daily), yet if I were laid off tomorrow I know from experience it could take me a whole year to find a new job in any of that domain.

By the way junior C++ developer is an euphemism because no company will hire a junior C++ developer. It's the most difficult programming languages that can take years of practices/studying to be able to use.

This is the first good argument I've heard for the alt-right abandoning platforms with some standards of veracity, and it's an excellent idea. Sort of like how everyone knows what 4chan is about, and the moment you hear someone repeat some Qanon stuff you know you can stop listening.
Well here it is also probably 10min. And yes, the restaurant probably sees the order, immediately starts cooking and immediately drives to me. Why would they delay this process? For the pizza joint one can track the process online and it seems to be frictionless.

Hey,thanks for sharing, and I'm really so sorry you've had to experience this. I can only imagine how stressful this must be for you.

It must have taken quite some courage to speak up, but that's a very good, positive step. It sounds like you may want to seek help, as you've identified you may be depressed.

I really encourage you to take that step to speak to someone, and seek some assistance.

I know you said you have no one to rely on support, depression can make you feel very alone and isolated. Try to speak to friends or family. I know it can be hard. Give it a try, you may be surprised.

Also remember, there are organisations out there that can help. I don't know where you are geographically, but I strongly suggest, if you are able to, to go to your local GP if you have one, and tell them how you are feeling. Explore your options for what works best for you.

If you don't have a GP, see if your workplace has an EAP program that you can call anonymously.

If they don't, do some research locally and have a look at support groups dealing with depression. (I'm based in the UK and can recommend some organisations, and if you need some assistance, I'm happy to explore some options for where you are; I'm sure lots of people on here could help, too.)

You are not alone, and people will be happy to help, and listen. Take that step.

You mentioned politics and election stress. Have you considered turning off the news, and disconnecting from Reddit etc.?

I'd also ask, do you do any exercise? Perhaps try going for a walk in a local park regularly, try doing jogging if possible? Try find an activity that suits you, physical exercise is a very good way of alleviating stress and depression. I know it's hard and daunting, just try some small steps at first.

You've taken a good step sharing. Take another, and another. Good luck. If I can help at all, let me know.
Is boredom drinking a symptom? Then yeah.
Now I cook in the microwave everything, even eggs.

While some ways to cook eggs may be trickier, there exists at least one very simple way. Break one egg and put the content into a glass cup (thermoresistant). Add a little oil (e.g. olive oil) and salt. Beat well with a fork, then 1 minute at microwaves should be enough.

I wonder if community crypto-currency tokens could be used for incentive.

See explanation twitter thread here: https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1326313315044192256?s=20

Really, community tokens could be the basis for a true guild system. The collective community of token holders would represent collective expertise in a specific craft.
Yeah, here in a smaller town in Europe (Czech Republic) you just call to the restaurant (basically 100% pizzerias provide deliveries, others case by case) say what you want & they will tell you an estimate when it will come. Then after a while a guy in a car shows up, you pay him (usually in cash, some accept meal tickets) and you get your food. And the service is not limited to the town but also the villages around it. Some restaurants have their own cars, some cooperate with taxi companies.

A fairly new addition to this are what I would say are "food aggragator services", like: https://www.damejidlo.cz/en/

The provide a common interface for restaurants that cooperate with them in a given area, so you just search the street or location you are in and it will show you the restaurants that provide deliveries in that area & their menus. The main added value is in this case convenience - you can just click what you want and have ti delivered without calling someone. They also have their own cars so they can offer deliveries from restaurants that otherwise don't offer deliveries. Also they make it possible to pay for most deliveries by card.

The downside is of course that not every restaurant that does deliveries is in their system & substantial cut they are taking from the money that goes to the restaurant to cover their services. Which most likely explains why there are restaurants missing in their list.

> Ryzen 7 4800U has eight large cores vs 4 large plus 4 small in the M1 and even with your (hypothetical) 20% uplift multicore is just about matching M1.

We're talking about performance per watt. The little cores aren't a disadvantage there -- that's what they're designed for. They use less power than the big cores, allowing the big cores to consume more than half of the power budget and run at higher clocks, but the little cores still exist and do work at high power efficiency. It would actually be a credit to AMD to reach similar efficiency with entirely big cores and on an older process.

> Single core is nowhere near as good.

Geekbench shows Zen 3 as >25% faster than Zen 2 for single thread. Basically everything else shows it as ~20% faster. Geekbench is ridiculous.

> 'Architecture is basically irrelevant' not the biggest factor but not irrelevant - x64 still has to support all those legacy modes and has more complex front end.

This is the same argument people were making twenty years ago about why RISC architectures would overtake x86. They didn't. The transistors dedicated to those aspects of instruction decoding are a smaller percentage of the die today than they were in those days.

> No idea what Qualcomm has to do with this.

The claim was made that Apple has kept ahead of Qualcomm. But Intel and AMD have kept ahead of Qualcomm too, so that isn't saying much.

> You're working very hard to try to deny that Apple has passed AMD and Intel in this bit of the market.

People are working very hard to try to assert that Apple has passed AMD and Intel in this bit of the market. We still don't have any decent benchmarks to know one way or the other.

Half the reason I'm expecting this to be over-hyped is that we keep getting synthetic Geekbench results and not real results from real benchmarks of applications people actually use, which you would think Apple would be touting left and right if they were favorable.

What platforms don’t force devs to buy developer kits or use their hardware? PlayStation and Xbox used to force devs to buy exotic hardware. Consoles are similar to phones and they lack simulators or emulators for the newer stuff.
Exactly. Many of the people who make civil war/anti south jokes are the same people who want California to secede, which makes no sense.

In its simplest form, the civil war wasn't fought because the north thought slavery was bad. It was fought because several states tried to leave the United States.
In addition to suburban sprawl...

These delivery/logistics companies are really trying to be marketing companies rather than behind the scenes logistics.

Customers go to the delivery company to order their food rather than to the restaurant. Restaurants pay fees just to be listed.
Delivery company gets a cut of every sale AND they charge the customer a delivery fee AND a "service" fee, which I've found to be roughly 2x the tax rate (which is very high here already). Restaurants a lot of the time make menu items more expensive to offset the cut of the sale that the delivery company takes... which also makes the "service fee" charged to the customer higher. Don't forget, still need to tip the driver, because they are not being paid a living wage.

It is a shit business. Companies trying to be unicorns and don't want to be relegated to being behind the scenes. Even with all the insane fees, they still don't make money.

Make a habit of asking the restaurant how they'd prefer you to place your order.
At least one local pizza place even shows a map when you can track the delivery vehicle in real time once it gets on it's way. :)
Are you sure? Those small EDFs can generate 12-25kg of thrust.

I just counted my Hue lights in the apartment I live in and got up to 30, 90sqm.

I have some bulbs, 4 spot lights, lightstrips around the living room. Lamps around the studio, bedrooms, living room. If you add bias lighting and indirect light by bouncing off the ceiling you add up quite fast.

Granted, I built up this setup over some time, finding the best use for each set of lights I got but I can definitely see how you could get up to 100+ in a larger house.
4chan also has a lot of moderation and cooperation with LEA beyond the minimum. The moderation line is just defined at a different level.

I’ve been depressed for years. After years of short term gigs and constant moving I decided to give up that lifestyle. In late 2019 I moved to a place with family, got a corporate job, and attempted to develop a feeling of community. I was well on my way of forming new friendships and strengthening family ties when covid hit. Now, making friends is much harder and less satisfying. It’s harder to cultivate a feeling of community. My family is, in my opinion, reckless when it comes to covid so I don’t see them. All of my attempts to mitigate my depression came from improving social ties, and now it feels like that’s an impossible thing to do. On the other side, I’m use to isolation and loads of digital-only social contact, so 2020 doesn’t feel much different than 2018.

He was talking about people crossing the border illegally: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2015/06...

The part you quoted is sandwiched between two statements that make that clear. Right before, he says:

> When do we beat Mexico at the border?

Right after the part you quoted, he says:

> But I speak to border guards and they tell us what we're getting. And it only makes common sense. It only makes common sense. They're sending us not the right people.

The reference to what “border guards” are “telling him” makes quite clear he’s characterizing their descriptions of illegal border crossers. That is how Factcheck.org interpreted the statement (see above) as well.

There is a fair criticism of Trump here—most people who immigrate illegally are “good people” (other than the fact they broke the law in crossing the border). On the other side, there is a truth to his point. We have MS-13 operating in Northern Virginia now where I grew up. They don’t arise there organically.

> And if not for our medical system people with Down syndrome would die to natural selection.

I guess I don't understand your comment; what does natural selection have to do with it?

I'm making no statements here except that the abortion of Down-positive children is in fact eugenics. Parent's comment was asking specifically how abortion is "mass eugenics." Maybe saying abortion in toto is "mass eugenics" is overly broad, but certainly it's used for eugenic purposes--Down Syndrome being one such case.
That sounds reasonable at first glance, but it would be really interesting to see a proper study of leveraged investments throughout the modern era, and their tendency to blow up compared to the volatility of what would be the reasonable alternative.

Who owns the issue tracker — the maintainer or the user base?

If the maintainer is using the issue tracker to prioritize development, they should feel fine about closing issues, especially when those issues are underspecified, ignore the project's contribution guidelines, or are otherwise incomplete.

> That's fine, it's quite possible - even likely - that someone else experiencing the same problem will find the issue and be able to add more context.

That's not my experience with issue trackers. It's far more likely that underspecified and otherwise problematic issues accumulate until the issue tracker becomes borderline useless.

The issue is still there if it is closed, including any contributed but unapplied patches.

Poor countries have always been a testing ground for vaccine, since their lives are considered to be less worth than ours and their countries hardly have any regulations in place, let alone institutions to enforce those regulations.

>The article needs some more context

Why? It seems like a pretty straightforward factual article. Are you trying to add context in a well-meaning attempt to short-circuit the potential for this article to give credence to anti-vaxxers? Or that the pro-vaccine perspectives tend to heavily imply (or explicitly state) vaccines are without risks and this is a bit of an embarrassment? To qualify that further: not arguing the efficacy of vaccines as all public health officials agree the risk-reward ratio tilts heavily towards vaccines and vaccine historical success is unprecedented ... just the arguments that are made in support of them by well-meaning 'debunkers', 'skeptics' and 'science-communicators'.

Is that really what news is supposed to be? A way to drive narratives (well-meaning that those narratives may be), lest the readers take the 'wrong' idea if you just present the facts?

In other words, is this article supposed to:

1) Provide a factual account of events in Sudan around the Polio outbreak, OR

2) Further the goal of large-scale vaccination efforts in Sudan, Africa and the world.

#2 is certainly a worthy goal, but is that what the point of news is? Push worthy goals like #2, instead of doing #1?

Not a huge fan of "Argument by citing a random published study to supports my conclusion" either. Typically in these cases, there are thousands of studies on the topic, some with very subtle conclusions - but specific studies are cherry-picked to support a pre-defined conclusions, which tends to say more about what the arguer believes versus what's actually true.

Here's my cynical conspiracy theory: This article would be flagged or banned on social media (Twitter/YouTube/Facebook) as misinformation, especially if shared by any non-mainstream outlet.
