As someone who has been writing a lot of Rust, I think that's only apparent... there's lots of things you can't do in Rust that you can in a GC-based language. The restrictions Rust imposes on you (mostly about the borrow checker, especially when you have mutable values) makes it much harder to write code... if you make it easier by cloning happily, you might end up with worse performance than in the GC-based language. If you don't, I guarantee your code won't look pretty with all those lifetime annotations.
From my few years of experience here in Tokyo, what I feel is that an obsession about something here (being an otaku) doesn't have a negative connotation in most cases, whereas in the US, being a "fanatic" is generally not usually a positive term.
Neutrons have a nucleus, just like a proton, and that would bonk into things.

Yes the chance[1] of doing so is much less due to it having an effectively smaller radius, but on the other hand there would have to be a _lot_ of them to explain dark matter.

There's also a lot of stuff for them to bump into. The interstellar medium is filled with diffuse gas, and there's there's highly energetic events like jets from black holes which when slamming into the neutrons surely would lead to some observable effect.

Even though there are many actual racists in between, I wouldn't take 99.9% of what's posted on 4Chan seriously. It's just a place people talk sh__ with zero consequences. There are no explanations (other than trolling like QAnon), or rationalizations. I guess it's because actually 4Chan is moderated, and it detracts the people with "real agendas".

Voat on the other hand, from the preview I've seen above, seems to be horrifyingly serious. People really seem to be trying to rationalize their racism. From my 5 minutes there, I really got scared about what some of those people would think of other human beings.
You could take this a step further and make your "horcrux" a short & simple cipher code based on some attributes of the organization instead.

It takes a bit longer to construct for sites you don't log into often, but when appended to a password/passphrase, it appears to be random across each site. If multiple logins get leaked it's not immediately obvious you're are using the double-blind approach.

This isn’t true - a street of just cars will have lethal crashes amongst themselves even with no pedestrians. A street of just pedestrians will never lethally bump into each other. The only lethal thing in the situation is the cars.
The US could cripple bitcoins value quite easily by sanctioning exchanges. The main power it would have to enforce those sanctions would be to cut off any institutions that violate them from handling USD. This is how the US manages to do stuff like force French banks to uphold US sanction on Iran.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/bnp-plans-to-slash-dividend-sel...

That wouldn’t eradicate Bitcoin or anything, but it would make it far less useful than it is currently, and have a significant impact on its value. It would also be a pretty bad idea, because the power of US sanctions is largely derived from demand for USD, and political volatility puts downward pressure on that demand, so you generally don’t want to waste it on frivolous sanctions.
> Hitler's party was voted into power

This is a misrepresentation of what happened. They first tried a coup in 1920. When that failed they tried gathering votes.

They won a plurality, not a majority. After that this guy is responsible for the transformation into a dictatorship: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_von_Hindenburg

> In 1925, Hindenburg returned to public life to become the second elected President of the German Weimar Republic. Despite being personally opposed to Hitler and his Nazi party, he was nonetheless a major player in the political instability that resulted in their rise to power. Upon twice dissolving the Reichstag in 1932, Hindenburg ultimately agreed to appoint Hitler as Chancellor of Germany in January 1933 when the Nazis won a plurality in the November elections. In response to the Reichstag Fire allegedly committed by a communist arsonist, he approved the Reichstag Fire Decree in February 1933 which suspended various civil liberties. Later in March, he signed the Enabling Act of 1933 which gave Hitler's regime emergency powers. After Hindenburg died the following year, Hitler combined the Presidency with his office as Chancellor before proceeding to declare himself Führer und Reichskanzler des deutschen Volkes (i.e. "Leader and Reich Chancellor of the German People") and transform Germany into a totalitarian state.

> I think this is more of a matter of scale, like in your ISP and datacenter example, social media could be counted in on that too due to the sheer size of it and influence it can have on people.

It's not about scale, it's about alternatives. It's easy to just not go to reddit if you don't want to. If your ISP bans reddit (or hackernews?), and it's the only reasonable price/performance ISP you have access to, that's a much bigger problem.
jq is great, but I doubt I'll ever be able to remember its syntax...
Pragmatically speaking, that will happen anyway. I’m not gonna use any platform that allows me to encounter Nazis. Voilà: the debate is stopped entirely, even though the platform has done nothing to stop it.

And on that topic, do we really need to debate Nazis? Like, are we so committed to the idea of moral relativism that we can’t draw some lines? Because frankly, I have zero interest in debating with anyone whether or not my family and I should be gassed to death.
From my experience:

1. Don't try to be clever. Unless there's a really good tangible tradeoff, do things the boring way. Ideally try to avoid language-specific features just to save a few keystrokes

2. Write as much stateless code as possible. Use function parameters instead of class members. If this results in too many parameters, it might be a sign that the function is too bloated

There is a reasonably well-known example of a large forum that charges users for account creation.

Something Awful has charged $10 for account creation for as long as i can remember.

While I do think it has kept away most low-effort trolls, there have certainly been deeply toxic attitudes and arguments still happened. Doxxing, organized harassment, racism and similar nastiness have certainly been issues with some regularity in most of the subforums.

The only reason why it has been kept down is a relatively large team of admins and moderators, and they have been far from infallible, there has been tons of drama in that regard, including at least one mod who literally doxxed other forums users to white supremacists.

On the whole though, the discussions there are a lot more civilized than on sites like Reddit. I think the small entry fee is part of it, but also thanks to an active moderation team and the standard policy being to put people in timeout first, instead of insta-banning for any offence.

Obviously there are differing views on how well it actually works, leading to various spin-off forums, with different policies and philosophies.
Anyone who watches any content creator at all will notice that they are already paranoid wrecks due to existing copyright law. Seems like once or twice an hour a streamer will wonder out loud if they've inadvertently DMCAed themselves, even while carefully trying to avoid doing so.

With this law, the risk is going to be so high that even carefully treading won't be worth it. It will completely put the industry on ice.

Ask yourself why Tesla didn't introduce drive by voice, but still relies on your foot to do the right thing...

Drive by wire systems are simply not completely mechanical anymore, but you don't have to ask them to do something for you, they translate a mechanical input into an electric signal and then in a mechanical output.

There is no understanding involved.

I hope you realize that.

Th gas pedal is still a moderately precise mechanical actuator that can be easily and accurately measured regardless of who uses it, you can also use a stick or a brick to accelerate, the car doesn't care as long as you move the pedal.

You can also be a mute and use it.

Any advice / learnings on using canvas from wasm for this kind of GUI stuff? If I get it right, you just implemented the editor yourself, not using any sort of widget system.

People often recommend not trying to implement editors on top of canvas because of ... reasons [1] [2], but it seems your implementation ended up being pretty simple? (at least in terms of lines of code...).

To be fair, regular meals are far more expensive than a tablet.

I think a lot of the weirdness comes from politician's desire to muddy the waters when it comes to poverty in their own nations - many first world, wealthy countries have a problem with food insecurity, and child malnourishment, so it's understandable that politicians want to confuse the issue by mixing the uncontroversially damaging forms of poverty in with more mild and subtle forms.

One area where this comes up again and again is free school meals - data has shown repeatedly that child malnourishment is a leading driver of differences in academic outcomes in countries like the US and UK (hungry kids can't concentrate so well). However, school meals are very expensive, so they are often a target of cuts by politicians that think poverty in first world countries is either superficial or voluntary.
This is why it is important to design decentralization and overgrowth resistance as well as community moderation into the platform itself.

No, that was the idea of Ripple, invented by Ryan Fugger long before bitcoin even existed, and requires no new coin or token for its operation. OpenCoin, a company founded by Jed McCaleb, bought the trademarks other IP for Ripple and rebranded their bitcoin competitor altcoin as XRP. They never had any interest in the original concept, and quickly threw it away when it was no longer fashionable.

Yup, it's like the leadership is actively hostile towards community building.

* Prismatic Schema, immensely popular, was "replaced" by spec, which is not yet complete and still in the research phase

* leiningen (one of the best language tooling out there) was "replaced" by Clojure CLI that can't do half of what leiningen can

* transducers (a brilliant concept) are not easy (as in close at hand) because the code is quite different to normal lazy-sequence based code (I wrote a library [1] to address this)

I still prefer Clojure for all my side projects, but it is very clear that the community is tiny and fragmented.

Form a bigger Trust to combat Antitrust action. What a bigbrain move.
Not very clear what the diff tool is attempting to do.

Just looking at the Clojure code, I feel there's better approaches in Clojure to achieve the same or better results.

More clarity would be helpful.

Also, transducers are a big performance win for long sequences of values.

You cannot even begin to guess where your performance problems are until you use something like YourKit (https://www.yourkit.com) which is an excellent tool. With very little effort and a few type hints you can sometimes more than double your Clojure performance.

> "Deregulation" is code for taking hundreds of laws and dumping them in a garbage bin

Or regulation is taking things from the garbage bin and make them into law.

If tax dollars are being stolen, it is the government that is doing both the tax collection and allowing the tax plundering.

> For instance the sanctity of contract matters when it's with the gas pipeline company but not when it's with the american tribes

What you really want is more free markets: that is, more rule of law, law that can be applied systematically and with no discretion and discrimination. You mention the enemy over and over: the coerced state that does terrible biddings. But you then exempt government as if it were innocent first and corrupted later.

It is the mechanism by which you decide on economic matters by power that produces the vast majority of the issues you mention, way above the famous "market failures" and unaccounted externalities.
I think trying to win those people may be a better strategy in the long term. People feeling left out are angry, and if the train stops and they ride together, they wouldn't be so anti-social. Again, "I think" (Which is more of a hope, admittedly).

It sure is, as it's on the GRAS list. I used it as an inert carrier in an injectable drug I worked on a decade ago and everyone else on the project had used it in other projects before.

It's a polymer so is synthesized and then separated into different molecular weights. I believe that only some of which are actually GRAS. I don't know about the tiny chains discussed here.
Unbelievable that they managed to make the same mistake twice. Especially when the first mistake was so bad that neighbors complained enough that it had to be paved over.

>>It made me think about the readers of my code (...) I don't always need to have n+1 layers in my architecture where all the layers just call the next layer anyway.

Your assertion doesn't make sense. N-tier architectures are primarily intended by the needs of said reader of the code, because it provides a clear understanding of how the overall code is organized.

More importantly, it provides a clear idea of what code is expected to call which code, and makes it clear that dependencies only go one way.

I have no idea what leads people to believe that ad-hoc solutions improvised on the spot are helpful to the reader instead of clear architectures where all the responsibilities and relationships are lined up clearly from the start.
Well, maybe the thing is you just don't know anything about it. Current dark matter concepts are 40 years old, not over a hundred (again, Wikipedia is not a substitute for an education). And we have detected indeed a very common kind of actual dark matter, predicted 26 years before you could "see" it simply because it explained the data, we call it neutrinos. The universe is brimming with cold neutrinos btw.

Everything seems outlandish from a prejudiced superficial POV.

My least-effort solution to most of these issues is to be storing hard copies of the password to my primary email in different places and using 2FA.

Then if my password manager does get nuked or compromised, I can "restore" my accounts by using the "forgotten password" feature for most places. If I get trojaned, what are they really going to do with my accounts? The majority of things of importance are behind 2FA anyway, and I'm not a public enough figure that any of my data that isn't is of any importance anyway.
What I am saying is that lazy sequences in my world should mean you don't have to realize any intermediate collections. In the case of the srfi-158 generator (gmap square (gfilter odd? (list-generator big-list))) the overhead for getting one element from the generator would be 3 procedure calls. Without any intermediate steps. The same transducer would have one procedure call less, but would be in the same vicinity.

Does clojure's sequences not work similarly? That seems like a very lax definiti

Iirc, we'd only need 10 neutrons per each hydrogen atom to explain the dark matter gravity. OK, if neutrons would be observable, are there any weird visual effects in galaxy cores that could be attributed to such neutron clouds?
Mujin / Daiso can have questionable quality so I avoid them for items I know will get a lot of use. I'm talking about places like Shimachu or the kitchen stores in Kappabashi. Tons of "made in Japan" products for about half the cost of what I remember paying for cheap Chinese wares in USA.

And, when I do buy an expensive item "made in Japan", I can generally trust that it is of high quality. Compare this to shopping for appliances in the USA, where brands like KitchenAid and CuisinArt are perpetually cheapening the quality of their products while keeping the price the same and coasting on the reputation they built in the 1970s and 1980s.

> does that automatically declare them a currency?

If they were branded as a security that would not automatically declare them to be a currency. It would put them in the category of equity securities (with the owners having rights accordingly as equity owners). USD holders are not regarded as having an equity ownership stake in the currency for example.

Open Library is an incredible service, with amazing tools. I am sure that this library simulator will be very helpful to people unable to visit a library or unable to read standard print.

I personally have a print-related disability, known as severe convergence insufficiency. Because of this, my neuro-ophthalmologist filled out paperwork certifying that I have a print-related disability, and I have access to the National Library Service, through the US Library of Congress. Open Library gave me reciprocity through that paperwork, and I have access to, and can borrow, every single book published on OpenLibrary.org.
Eh, last I checked the five primary validator nodes are all run by Ripple.com. Not really "POA" when there's only one authority IMO.
Solving the problem of needing to run two different technology stacks by running two different technology stacks is decades older than the concept of micro services.

I'm a huge monolith proponent. But that doesn't mean I think every application should be one service.

For years now I've felt the same way about functional v.s. imperative programming, and where functional languages go 'wrong', and what they get right.

There are exceptions of course, but I personally feel that there's three main 'kinds' of code:

1. functions that define some input/output relation
2. query methods on data structures
3. modification methods on data structures
4. the bodies of the above functions

In a purely functional language all four are purely functional, but this is (IMO) needlessly restrictive. It leads to recursion where iteration is more natural, awkward choices of data structures or even plain impossibility of certain algorithms/data structures (ask a functional programming zealot to implement an O(1) hash map in a pure way—they will usually stammer, try to move goal posts, before finally admitting it's not possible).

Personally I feel that 1 & 2 should be 'pure' and not modify (observable) data and have the same results, but 3 & 4 are perfectly fine if not natural to be imperative and have mutable state.
