> Like, "Knowing that this will cost working class Americans jobs, why do you want X?"

A good politician would never answer that question. Instead they would answer a different question that they already had a good answer to. “I think the important thing to remember here is...”

This tactic works just as well online. Never directly answer a question you don’t like. Always stay on message.

By the time you finish your answer the listener should have already forgotten the question.
Hi! How do you handle floating point determinism? Can some ML be reproduced in any architecture? Can you build the code with another compiler version? Can you use newer SIMD instructions?

Or you're forever tied to the initial hardware+compiler version?
>So basically, use functions but limit your use of closures?

Not limit, terminate the use all together along with classes because methods in classes are basically closures.

>I’m all for it, with the exception of fully local closures that are used more for expressiveness than standalone functionality.

Sure I can agree with this... formally though. When you write a local closure you are preventing it from ever being reused. The philosophy of this style is to assume an unknown future where anything has the possibility of being reused.

When too much of your logic gets inserted into "local closures" your program will be more likely to hit the type of organizational technical debt I am talking about above.

It's not a huge deal breaker though, you can always duplicate your code to deal with it. I'm not against shortcuts but most programmers need to know when they are actually taking a shortcut while being aware of the formal rules that will actually eliminate organizational technical debt.

Many functional programmers are unaware of the the origins of organizational technical debt and mistakenly build technical debt into their programs with closures even when it wasn't their intention which is separate from your case as you are doing it intentionally.
> consensus, a form of argument by authority

It's not, because is specifically argument based on authority. Consensus could have authority in democratic context, but that isn't the meaning of "argument by <X>" which is the distilled context of some basis of proof. You could just as easily link consensus to "Argumentum ad populum".

In fact, this is spelled out on wikipedia: The two are similar, but not the same - both are "Fallacies of relevance": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argumentum_ad_populum

This doesn't really apply either though, because we are talking consensus among a specialized group of experts/peers, which seems to me a lot more relevant that general consensus. Appeal to authority isn't always fallicious: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_authority
> Moderated communities beat unmoderated ones on any metric you can name.

Prevalence of power trips?

Let's face it, almost nobody gets paid to moderate, so the compensation has to be something else. I never had much interest in IRC because the format (live/real-time) has a much higher moderation (op) burden, more powerfully attracting people who like power trips and narrative control.

The solution isn't Galilean absolute-frame-of-reference moderation. It's something more relativistic, like the PGP Web of Trust.

Sorry for being so slow to respond.

>why would people participate? I feel that without a self-interested reason, audience would bias toward process-oriented and highly empathic people who already care for the sake of caring.

My thought is that the "selfish" incentive would be to make impact on an issue you care about. In exchange, you give someone a chance to talk to you about an issue they care deeply about you don't.

The underlying premise is that caring and reasonable people can and do have differences of opinions. The "teeth" is giving access to likely voter will listen and not have a dogmatic position. I for example, would spend an hour to double the my effective voting power.

I have little interest in running for an office, and don't think that politicians are particularly effective about changing the minds of voters. They are tied to a multi-issue platform which is incredibly cumbersome, and disinterests many individuals from the process overall.
There's a lot of subreddits that should be zero politics, where people are being banned because they're members of other subreddits, or they aren't even members, but posted in those other subreddits.

You can find about a post a week in /r/WatchRedditDie of someone who posted an anti-Trump response to another person in a Donald Trump-friendly subreddit and they end up banned from other subreddits like /r/OffMyChest... for the crime of disagreeing with a Trump supporter, in a Trump subreddit. The very act of even associating, even in an antagonistic way, with a Trump supporter is ban worthy?

Every moderator whose ever done that should be immediately stripped of all power and banned at the IP level.

If Reddit admins weren't absolute cowards now, they would do it, but the site is sufficiently corporatized now.
The bold utilitarian approach of Go might face some valid criticisms from seasoned programmers, I myself had to empty my cup(mostly Java) to get onboard Go and I'm glad that I did.

After a spine surgery my programming time got severely limited and so I decided to code my future projects with utility focused languages. I had used Python in the past, but the performance tuning once the application scales is counterproductive and expensive to say the least.

I wanted a language which has predictable performance, decent standard library and most importantly not waste my time; time I can focus on my health. Go was the answer, even if it meant that I had to let go of some of my decade long programming patterns and practices.

Now my only wish w.r.t to Go's future is for it to stick with its utilitarian philosophy and not succumb to pressure of including features which might compromise it and leading to the several forks of Go.

There's no "solution", just like there's no "solution" to "politics". Everyone just has to keep trying really hard all the time so we don't drown in shit. That's it, until the lights go out for good.

As for the next step, it looks less like starting a reddit competitor and more like building individual, independent communities that can stand or (more likely) fall apart from any others.
> China has rejected the label of “hostage diplomacy” as “totally groundless,” saying that no one who follows the country’s laws should fear arrest

[..]

> Still, Chinese diplomats have indicated the fates of the two Canadians detained on Dec. 10, 2018 -- days after Meng’s arrest -- were open to negotiation. Zhao Lijian, another Foreign Ministry spokesman, told a briefing in June that political intervention to stop proceedings against Meng “could open up space for resolution to the situation” of the Canadians

That pretty much says it all.

And "the country’s laws" are whatever the CCP says they are, whenever they feel like telling somebody. Or not.

> which is what you get with a mirrorless system, has its benefits

I never found those benefits. What would you say they are?

Early on, the problem was mirrorless were slow in autofocus, and they had relatively terrible EV quality. Now they have better autofocus than mirrorless, and more importantly, with the very high resolution EV displays they have now [1], what you see is exactly what you end up getting. You don't have to guess about anything anymore, like what's going to blow out, which is fantastic. What you see in an optical viewfinder with your eye is not what your sensor sees is going to portray. I don't see any benefit to optical viewfinders at this point.

So this is an idea we should apply, then? We have to worry about Stalinists as well as Nazis though, because Stalin killed more people than Hitler. So anyone espousing Soviet ideas like socialized medicine should be excommunicated as well, shouldn't they?

Or maybe this is rapidly getting out of hand.

Oh cool, thanks for sharing. That keyboard has a similar shape to the Kinesis keyboard I got a while ago. Could never really get into it though. It was nice for typing with two hands once I got familiar with it, but I think it made one-hand typing too difficult and there were actually a number of times where I'd have one hand on the mouse and the other on the keyboard and just need to do minimal typing. I should give that keyboard another shot though.

Which key switches the layer/function of the keys? I think something like that is possible with the keyboard I have as well but I haven't explored it at all

It would be great for Tesla's mission if a company like Apple becomes a player in this space. We definitely need more manufacturers. But just based on the incremental engineering expertise Tesla has acquired over the years in manufacturing - especially now with the diecast, the data the hundreds and thousands of Tesla cars are capturing everyday, the increasingly vertical integration of their process, a decision maker like Musk, and most importantly, Apple's history with Project Titan (which I happen to know something about), I'm not too optimistic of much happening in this direction. There is still nothing out there to indicate Apple can handle it when the rubber hits the road at 80 mph. One area where I am slightly optimistic about Apple doing something potentially significant is in the battery space, in which case, it would compete with the likes of QuantumScape, and not Tesla, per se.

It's an interesting theory, although I think this paper stretches the available evidence way too far in most cases. As a former Mormon, it's interesting to consider, though.

Psychonauts will tell you that psychedelics are effective at destroying or weakening the ego. And yet, there's a phenomenon where some users come out of it with an incredibly inflated ego and narcissism. If you've spent any time with psychonauts or read much from any of the online communities you'll know what I'm talking about.

They'll often say that the world would be better if everyone just took LSD, but stuff like that does make me wonder. Not everyone comes out of a transformative psychedelic experience as a better person.

In "How to Change Your Mind", Michael Pollan talked about the theory of psychedelics acting as a sort of super placebo. They seem to have the ability to shake you out your regular hardened neutral pathways, encouraging new ways of thinking and looking at the world. That may be part of why they have such promise as a therapeutic tool, but also why careful and considered use is still important.

Poitras is a documentary filmmaker, an excellent one, and in my experience of working with her as a film distributor, fearless and incredibly ethical.

I used to race Ironmans and saw a few bamboo bikes from people in my tri club. It generally was a hobby project and was honestly pretty cool as a rideable work of art - apparently they were pretty comfy to ride- less stiff than carbon frames.

I've seen bamboo ski poles as well, so perhaps this is a new fad... perhaps we'll see bamboo bike racks, etc etc. Wonder if the waterproofing polyurathane coating they use to treat them before use makes it more or less eco friendly than just using metal materials? Although I guess the metal would be water treated as well.
Reading light novels - of which manga is a respected category - is proportionately more popular in Japan. Rurouni Kenshin selling something like 70 million copies of the manga by some old record I saw.

Anime programming on TV is a fact of life and not something people need to be "into". But that is to say that there is a lot more dramas and mundane animated programming that wouldn't have an economic rationale outside of Japan. A lot of it falls by the way side and then later turns out to appeal to Western audiences, even more rarely circling back to Japan for a closer look.

The anime subculture is niche in Japan. ie. The niche where people collect merchandise and have whole shelfs on display as a point of pride. That garners the same discomfort from the general population and potential dates as it would in the West.

That being said, the western market is MASSIVE as it is just a larger market and vibrant economy. Something doing "okay" in the US would be the same as shattering records in a Japan-only release. So enterprisers can resyndicate all the crap over to here and see what sticks.
Wow, I had no idea who Kenshin was, and having looked him up it seems crazy that his penalty for child porn was only a few thousand dollars, production of child porn was legal in Japan until 1999, and possession remained legal for another 15 years.

Incidentally one of the biggest benefits I see of using a text editor like vim / emacs is that it really encourages good code management.

It's not to save the ~10 minutes per year in faster key strokes to manipulate your code. It's about the way it shapes your thinking about how you code.
simdjson is indeed good stuff, but its focus is CPU efficiency, not memory efficiency.

For example, it requires the entire input to be in memory. It does not support streaming input.
Variable names are the nouns of programming though. It’s not really related but I think having an “editor” try to read your text and give you improvement ideas is not “shallow”. The code is there for programmers to read and reason about so optimizing for “easy to load into your brain” code is important too.

Yeah I mean sure, see, my personal POV is the world isnt binary and there are always, always edge cases. The thing you said seems more of an edge case where one comment is sufficient. But this has to be the exceptional cases, not the norm (however, it is not a norm for reddit users, surely is for celebrities / well known figures)
People often apply what they learn from anime as if it were the reality of life in Japan too. You would think Japan were still fuedal with the amount people attribute honor to the cultural norms of Japan. It is far more intentional and curated than a penchant for honor. I think perhaps we can miss some lessons in community values by seeing it so narrowly.

I don't watch anime but I do love visiting Japan, and that has often stuck out to me with friends.
I used bamboo ski poles because I'm a cheapskate and use poles from the 1970s. Seems like back in the day (i.e. before fiberglass go cheap) it was pretty common to use bamboo for tubular things that need to be more flexy than metals can easily and cheaply accommodate.

> Why?

Because all of the other theoretical models that attempt to explain the observed redshifts fail to match observations.

> Maybe... just maybe... that's because it isn't actually expanding, but there's some other, unknown effects at play?

Nope. Already been tried. Doesn't work.

> It's about time we think outside the box.

Cosmologists have been trying out of the box ideas for decades. All of them failed. That's why we have the models we have now: they're the only ones that survived that process.

> I get it, both make the calculations work out, but they're basically "we have no clue what this actually is, here's our best guess" kind of variable.

For dark matter, you are correct: we don't know what it is, and the term is basically just another way of saying "whatever we need to add to our model to make it match observations works basically like ordinary matter does in the equations".

But that is not true of expansion itself. All of the alternative models that have been proposed to eliminate the need for dark matter still have an expanding universe. The expansion itself is a much more solid conclusion than dark matter is.
