This is in fact what American Exceptionalism leads to as well, frankly.

I think no religion or religious organization should be spared of critique, but realize that in the West, (Christians), have been exporting culture that's kind of about trashing other peoples.

Take a look at Call Of Duty or even something as innocent looking as Uncharted for how 'we' are treating other cultures.
Seconded. Would also be interested in hearing if anyone had found a reasonable font to switch to from having used terminus for many years.
Saddam was in permanent time out. The US could have protected the Kurds as much as it liked simply by expanding the no fly zone into further restrictions. None of that necessitated deception to invasion to topple a country that won't recover for generations.
For some strange reason, everyone in the ML community refers to 'increasing adoption' as 'democratizing'. It's my pet peeve.
Dunno. Larger companies I'm familiar with have pretty rigorous back to the office procedures which I could see extending to proof-of-vaccination at some point. Without it, they could just not enable badge access. But, as you say, uncharted territory.
It's one thing to adopt a layer of static typing on top of your massive production codebase, it's another to switch languages entirely.
Ah my apologies, I thought you were looking for a native windows client version of tmux to go along with the native client ssh. I see you are looking for a server side implementation though.
I think the focus needs to be on preventing blackmail/extortion/cyber.

I'm not worried about my daughter or son seeing a crudely constructed penis on the screen, I'm worried about someone sending them age-inappropriate or dangerous private messages. I was consuming sexually explicit content by age nine or ten, had my secret copy of Grand Theft Auto, etc. and at no point was I in any "danger" other than running against the Puritan sensibilities of my guardians.

I remember thinking that the fact that my male Sims couldn't wear female clothes as unnecessarily restrictive, but looking back if my guardians had seen me playing a game as a male wearing a dress, they would have destroyed the game in front of me immediately. "Unsafe" is a considerably relative term.
You would think they would prioritize teachers and other personnel in the schools.

Unit 3 at Olkiluoto in Finland was started before Flamanville and it hit massive cost overruns and delays as well. It was another EPR -- it's not like Flamanville was the very first build of this design, they had another to learn with.
Observable is fantastic, but as others have hinted at, IMO, I think it's trying to lock you in. I want the raw JS, in one click, so that I can build out a visualization locally, just hacking on HTML/JS. Steps to doing this are highly obfuscated when they could be a single button.

Overall you can see its evolution from prior sites- someone spent a huge amount of time demonstrating cool visualizations, then tried to make it all "proprietary". Nothing wrong with that, but why not make people addicted to the service by giving them the raw drug, rather than making them hate you for dancing through hoops?

Again- huge fan of access to many cool visualizations that have greatly improved what I can express visually for presentations etc., but very unhappy that I can't do this so much easier for my particular workflow. I'd love to be shown otherwise, but I've also spent a lot of time looking for answers, reading forum responses, etc., and they seem to all reflect wanting you to go through them, not along for the ride with them.
I think it's a hubris thing now, but it was clear that the "DevOps" movement/hype started as a cost-cutting measure masquerading as innovation. Who needs classic Ops/IT/sysadmins when developers can just automate all that in their spare time between working on other systems? It shouldn't be a surprise that once the cost-cutting is done you realize too late after the fact that you lost a whole bunch of institutional knowledge and have simply created a new version of your old workforce in their place. The hubris of course comes in accepting the masquerade that everything was really about innovation in the first place, rather than cost-cutting, and rather than rehiring for the old institutional knowledge, just reinventing all the wheels in the new situation with the hubris that it is vastly different than what came before (even though it isn't) because it is far more innovative (even though that is unlikely, because the businesses are still the same, the red tape the same, the expectations set by people still real familiar with the old predecessors, etc).
Beyond the syntax looking a bit similar, Crystal is a very different language. Porting over a production application such as Shopify isn't something you do in an evening.

Excess on all sides
I was going to complain about them because there are a few fonts there I like a lot, but not the ligatures. Wasn't sure if it was = or == or === in the samples.
But that's just it, we anecdotally know they're safe. There are tests we've run and the results are promising, but the true large scale inoculations haven't happened.

All things point to these as being safe, but until it's more widely dispersed I don't think you can assert it as having the same safety as most modern inoculations.

Cautious optimism isn't a bad thing, nor is hesitance to taking the vaccine. Its not really your place to convince them it is safe, that's for them to decide with the facts on hand. Provide them info on the tests, share whatever you have, but it's ok to not trust the speed at which these vaccines were made.
Generally Docker lets you say 'here, this works', rather than 'follow these 800 steps to get your environment in the right shape'.

I think you make a good point in saying that patents vary in annual value, and that the costs that they help recouperate also vary. That said, I think pharmaceuticals patents are bad examples, because the patent system is being used to compensate for regulatory costs; this creates all sorts of strange problems and incentives.
They get payed for the work, not the training (with some exceptions). Not being payed for training is a barrier for people who are not in a good financial situation.

Or, if we want more recent history, the Bosnian war or even the currently ongoing dispute between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

If you squint, you might even be able to include sect-on-sect violence which seems like several hundred years of European history, to the point that a group of religious practitioners crossed an ocean to escape it.
For some reason, this font never surfaces on these threads but I've been using BPmono for 10+ years and none of the dozen or so programming fonts got me to swap.

It's just so easy to read.

It saves you needing a separate index variable. If you're doing something like LZSS decompression it makes the relative window offsets natural (absolute). Not sure I'd recommend coding like that today, unless ptr was a smart pointer that had bounds checking, but for the time period it was a perfectly fine technique.

I think it moderately depends on the definition you give it to. If you require RISC to be a load/store architecture, x86 is not even close to be one. Also, aarch64 is a variable-length instructions set and include complex instructions (such as those to perform AES operations). Compiler optimizations are meant to be taken advantage by all architectures, regardless of RISC/CISC.
I've been using Anonymous Pro as my primary code font for at least 5 years now.

I came to Anonymous Pro through the path of previously using tewi [0]. I was big on the whole linux customization / "ricing" scene in my early years of university, and because of how my desk was set up, i was close enough to my computer to be able to read it. I ran Arch, with tewi, at a 9 point font size. I just liked how it looked.

Eventually my desk setup changed and having such a small font was no longer viable. I went with Anonymous Pro because I found it to be similar, but also easier to read at larger sizes. For a while I coded primarily in vim, so maybe there was something about just setting it once in the terminal config and having what I needed. I also picked it because patched versions existed with powerline symbols, which I was into at the time.

I now primarily use VS Code on Windows, but I still use Anonymous Pro. I think the narrow strokes and the sharp cruves that you dislike are actually easier for me to read. They give characters a kind of crisp shape, and I find that helpful in distinguishing which characters are which. When I look at the colleciton of fonts, ones like Cascadia, Ubuntu Mono, and especially Nova Mono all look awful to me, because of how rounded they are. I'm also in the crowd of people who dislike ligatures in programming fonts

If I were to pick any of the fonts from this list to try, I would probably pick Hack or Noto Mono for something a bit more robust, or Source Code Pro for something similar to the slenderness of Anonymous Pro. But I think the more important thing is knowing what you like and picking one and settling on it. It surprised me when I went back to my dotfiles and I was looking at screenshots, just how long I've been using the same font. But it makes things easy.

something() { } obviously is a definition, something() is obviously a call.

Having used Sorbet, one thing immediately noticeable is that it's incredibly verbose due to needing to be valid ruby syntax. Was there any developer pushback on that?

Also, maybe I missed it, but Sorbet has a very fleshed out plugin for VSCode but that's about it. How was the experience getting people who don't use VSCode to integrate it into their workflow?
I really enjoy using nbdev. I am a fastai user but also a researcher, and I have been using nbdev for my research projects. Because everything is in Jupyter Notebooks, it's much easier to document your work as you are working. Nbdev will build docs and run tests based on the jupyter notebooks and everything is quite flexible!

Here is a small project of mine highlighting some of the capabilities of nbdev:

If anyone wants to learn about the history behind RISC/CISC and much more info on the topic, I recommend listening to the David Patterson's episode on Lex Fridman's podcast.

There have been a few phase-1 trials in humans. But mostly it is research.
I think this gets into the more philosophical part of the debate like with systemd, where it seems like it could be argued that the separation is better—or not—depending on your needs.

And for my own needs, I typically favor the security of not throwing too much complexity on top of my storage system (if it would be impossible for me to recover something without relying on a ton of magic I can't fully understand, I'd rather not use it in production).
I was buying and selling BTC when they were less than $7. I have a wallet with multi-hundred BTC transactions and would make some newcomer cry thinking "how could he give this all away?". I will tell them that this mentality is backwards: if people were not willing to spend hundreds of BTC 7 years ago, it wouldn't have gone anywhere to the level it is today. I will continue to use it to buy whatever I can. If you find my discussions on various crypto subreddits, you will find me arguing that focusing on price of token X or project Y should be the last of people's concerns and to focus on how to make the tech more useful than the system it is trying to replace.

You may have a lot of people on the hodl camp, but a lot of people are like me - less worried about lambos and more focused on ensuring that we can create feasible alternatives to the status quo.

Yes, there will be a vast majority of people that are in it for the short-term gain. It doesn't matter. Every market needs to have speculators. I will still be focused on the long term.

I am not betting my life savings on it and I am not recommending anyone to do so. What I am telling people though is that crypto will be a fundamental part of how groups of people coordinate themselves and allocate their resources, and that the sooner they start getting acquainted to it the easier it will be when it is more mature for wider adoption.

> North Korea... $2 billion dollars and counting as documented by a pro-crypto news source.

I am aware of the story, this is not what I am calling FUD. What I am saying is that you are using crypto as a scapegoat. State-sponsored terrorists can cause damage regardless of them being financed by crypto, gold, oil or greenbacks.

Black markets were not invented with crypto. Money laundering is estimated to be between 800 billion to 2 trillion dollars. Those were the number before crypto, yet you make it sound like BTC, ETH, ZEC and Monero are the Four Horsemen of Apocalypse. THAT is what I am calling FUD and BS.

I know it will never be perfect. No implementation of any system ever is. But the only way to have something better than the existing flawed solutions is to iterate, use it, test it in the real world and keep improving.

To make an analogy with Free Software: I know that is never going to be perfect or satisfy every use case, but its flaws are on the implementation side, not the principle. The more I use and the more I contribute to it, the less people get to be dependent on proprietary crap.

What you are saying is that people should not bother working on making a better Free Software Desktop because the current systems are not as "usable" as Apple and likely will never be. That is, quite frankly, a horrible way to live.

Exactly. Watts Barr in Tennessee just got a big fine from the NRC for safety violations, after trying to lie about an incident to the NRC and firing a whistleblower who reported safety issues.

https://news.yahoo.com/federal-utility-fined-900k-nuclear-21...

> In a notice dated Nov. 6, regulators noted a “substantial safety culture issue” at Watts Bar at the time of the incident. They also found that “TVA senior management and staff failed to communicate with candor, clarity, and integrity during several interactions with the NRC during the course of the inspection and investigation.”

> The incident wasn't recorded in the plant's logbook and managers later misled NRC investigators about what had happened. The shift manager told investigators he wasn't truthful with them at first because he feared that whatever he said would be relayed back to management.

> last year, TVA was ordered to rehire and pay thousands of dollars in back pay and compensation to a whistleblower who raised concerns about nuclear safety.

And then there was the nuclear corruption scandal in South Korea:

I wonder why banks don’t offer loans for job training programs. Seems like it might work. Or maybe they do?
I mean, increased adoption is a result of democratization (e.g. more accessible). I think the usage here is fine because Jupyter notebooks are definitely more accessible to those new to programming than a typical Python environment and this expands Jupyter to be used for more development purposes, like building libraries.
Valuing Ephemerality
Just to jump in and say my comment that you said wasn't true was "... improvement over an existing literate programming environment.".
Except that when a safety problem is found with a plant design, you can't just build more from the same blueprint, you have to both refit the older plants with the mitigation and redesign subsequent plants with the fix, so now you're building a new design.
A thousand! We’d be so rich in carbon free energy we’d be exporting it to Canada and Mexico and still have hundreds of GW left over to, I dunno, produce hydrogen 24/7 for other uses.

We could decarbonize our grid today with only something in the vicinity of ~200 new plants. This is entirely doable. France showed how it’s done in the 80s. It’s sad we can’t start now.
Plans they continue to delay, because there's no feasible alternative to geographically independent and dispatchable energy save for fossil fuels: https://world-nuclear-news.org/Articles/French-bill-delays-n...
I'll give the benefit of the doubt to the parent post here, and add, that in the construction industry in California over the last thirty+ years, the pressure on middle-tier contractors combined with human nature, made a blatant game of taking away the pay from anyone who could not defend themselves in a transaction. That sometimes is the workers, sometimes the suppliers of materials, sometimes the contract holder.. Theft escalated and wages stayed stagnant or actually fell. "Illegal" labor is ordinary and expected.

I would welcome some case studies from the commentors here, because "reasons" given in comments are not explaining what I have seen with my own eyes.
At this point Ruby (which is still slow and dynamic compared to most other faster languages) looks like a sunk cost.

Only reason why it's still alive is Rails, I don't see much hope for it longer term, Crystal and Elixir does IMO.

Using Ruby/Sorbet screams using JS/Flow to me, instead of using a language with types built in.
Like others have stated in the thread, Crystal is a different language that shares some its syntax with Ruby. Our aim is to keep our Ruby codebase but adopt static types gradually.

A big part of western world was never "protestant" and wouldn't say it has that "ethic."

Nevertheless, even having that "ethic" doesn't make one a believer in supernatural "messiah" properties of a person called Jesus or in the afterlife or expected punishment or reward then or in the mere existence of some almighty supernatural entity with any capability which conflicts with scientific knowledge.

To quote user keiferski from another post: "to say that the contemporary American definition is all that counts is a bit historically ignorant."

I spoke from experience, not from speculation.

No, resistors are not always fully encapsulated, especially if they are small, cheap, and/or designated for high speed applications, and no, the ones that are encapsulated are not protected well enough to make high or intermittent resistance failure modes particularly unlikely after being poked. I've seen both cracking and scraping in the wild. Not as many as I've seen shorted MLCCs, but that would be a tall order.

Sure, it could also have been a design failure, but every time I've found one bad resistor in a bank of identical resistors, it has always been a physical problem with that resistor. Shrug.
Actually I looked at some, and they look half baked experimental languages to me. Right now I'm using Python, because PyTorch is written in Python (and C++), not because it's my favourite language. For me library support is more important than the language itself actually.
I'm aware, what I'm confused about is why they've phrased it as if it's something they call exploratory programming, as if they've coined the term.
