If you could just send information back in time that would not violate conservation of energy. But otherwise would have a similar effect as traveling back yourself. You simply tell your past what to do rather than going back and to do it "with your present yourself". This also avoids a lot of other paradoxes and we already know that the reverse (sending information to the future) is super simple.

In this case, Python and Rust's behaviours are correct. You only get type errors / Unicode* exceptions when you're making wrong assumptions; if you get them, and don't understand why, you're writing buggy code to do things you don't understand and should be thankful for the errors letting you know there's a problem.

The closest thing to this which has been tried was the LASH (Lighter Aboard Ship) system, where cargo was loaded onto unpowered barges that were in turn loaded on board a specially designed ocean-going ship. The barges could be unloaded more quickly than break-bulk cargo, and could be towed on inland waterways.

This proved not to be able to compete with container ships when they were introduced. The last LASH ships in regular commercial service AFAIK were the Baco-Liners, which served small ports in West Africa and were scrapped in the early 2010s.

How does one define "morally wrong"?

Honest business by eastern Massachusetts standards would have you labeled a swindler in southern Indiana.

There are large swaths of the US where "if the option is there then there's no shame in taking it" and "if you don't cash in you're only hurting yourself because someone else will" are just how normal business is done.
Exactly. Sometimes I wonder if there's any good advice at all.
yes, that's the only system that makes sense to me for small objects. with a good international policy that prevents ppl from missiles at satellites to show power and, maybe, also one that prevent ppl to put any crap in LEO now it has got that cheap..

Dentists and doctors are not all of one mind about treatment effectiveness or necessity, so the tails of the bell curve matter. There may very well be some small percentage of dentists who believe that procedure X is beneficial in almost all cases. They might be quacks, but most quacks I've met believe what they are selling (even if they are wrong.)

If there also is a government program that reimburses for X in almost all cases, then you could see the emergence of clinics that "exploit" the rule even if everyone involved believes they are behaving ethically.

There are feedback loops that then exacerbate the problem- for example a successful clinic might bring on additional dentists, who despite misgivings will be influenced by existing practice at the clinic and begin self justifying the procedures to conform to the senior partner. After all, they clearly know what they are doing, right?

While I have no idea if that's what happened here, it is well with in the realm of possibility. The government does bear some responsibility to ensure that thier programs and rules provide sufficient oversight and feedback to keep fringey participants within the bounds of what the government considers acceptable.
I'm curious what makes you confident that it's a non-issue and just related to how we count things. I've heard many reports over the past 10 years or so that women are going to college at a higher rate than men. Anecdotally, my graduating class was almost 60% female over a decade ago.

1) Your program to run is the operating system. This board has USB bootloader but probably can be erased.

2) Sometimes open, sometimes shared source or sometimes supplied as binary blobs.

3) No, there's not enough RAM, nor there is DRAM interface, nor it has MMU with hardware physical-virtual memory translation that Linux requires.

This thing looks awesome! I also love that there are already a couple of feather/thing+ boards available, which means hundreds of pin compatible add-on boards.

I am a little bit surprised that they didn't announce a Raspberry Pi HAT to pair a RP2040 with a regular pi. Maybe that's coming soon. (Or, even better, a new pi with one of these alongside the higher-level CPU.

Effectiveness as compared to a placebo.

Of course, patients get better after surgeries. But the rate at which they get better is not much better than if surgery wasn't performed (or a placebo surgery was done).
> They all claim to be simple, but end up too simple in practice and cause just as many issues as they solve.

The number may be the same, but the set of issues is different, leaving developers the choice if they'd rather work around the lack of namespaces and comments in JSON or around the opaque meta definitions and annoying syntax of XML.

And the popular vote was pretty clear on which design is preferred.
Yeah that's what I meant, they don't have the critical mass to really put it on the map here. It falls back to SMS for Android recipients of course, but group chats and pictures/video are out of the question.

So in practice nobody in my circle uses it whereas Whatsapp is huge (still). I don't have iOS but I would notice if I got SMSes. The only ones I still get are insecure 2FA and spam.

Yes, but I was too lazy to document it.
It was on cnbc during the middle of the week this week.
No, you are creating a literal type which is not same to the corresponding literal. This is evident when you try to use alen and blen (respectively named n and m in your code) in the function code: they are strictly type-level constructs.

Also, probably I should have written my example as follows:

function concat(
alen: number,
blen: number,
a: ArrayOfLength<alen>,
b: ArrayOfLength<blen>,
): ArrayOfLength<alen + blen> {
return [...a, ...b];
}

My original code did distinguish two sets of arguments because that's the TypeScript syntax closest to currying (and I was lazy to check its implication), but the point of dependent typing is that alen and blen are not necessarily known to the compiler. The compiler may have to deal with the following code then:

let abc = concat(a, concat(b, c));
abc = concat(concat(a, b), c);

...where the first type `ArrayOfLength<alen + (blen + clen)>` should equal to the second type `ArrayOfLength<(alen + blen) + clen>` for the assignment to be valid. Since the compiler doesn't know alen, blen or clen, this means the compiler needs to somehow understand the associativity! This is hard, considering that (a+b)+c is not even generally same to a+(b+c) thanks to floating point.

For this reason many dependently typed languages also act as proof assistants or verifiers. If this point is removed, so-called "const generics" will be classified as dependently typed.
The last part is kinda obvious as simpler would be impossible, per the statement.

Almost 0.1% of the US population has died from COVID so far, coupled with changes in total capacity due to COVID restrictions and changes to how workplaces operate, it's a lot more impactful than a flu wave to business operations.

I feel you are being willfully ignorant, and I have to suggest you look into the severity of COVID and the statistics so far. It's been going on for over a year now, the information is out there.

It's the gender-equality paradox. Look it up.

Anecdotally, I am Muslim and I notice that Muslims who grow up in the West have this pattern. If they are very Westernized in morality and thinking, then they are less likely to work in STEM fields. If they are religious they are almost 100% likely to work in STEM fields. I think religious Muslims get their source of ultimate truth from somewhere other than humanities and philosophy so they aren't drawn to them in college and thus they all funnel into STEM.

Women in the US are probably drawn to humanities and men probably drawn out of them in college (where feminist/sexuality lens is high in humanities), which could possibly lead to STEM being highly male.

The Yarkovsky Effect
I'm reminded of a joke I heard from a talk by the philosopher Dan Dennett:

A philosopher takes his friend to a magic show. After the usual business of vanishing a few small mammals, the magician's assistant lies in a magic box, and the magician, with a dramatic flair, begins to saw through the box.

The philosopher's friend leans over and asks What do you think is really going on? The philosopher gives it a moment's thought and replies They're using illusionist skills to give us the impression that he's sawing someone in two, but really he isn't. The philosopher's friend, unsatisfied, asks Right, but how? The philosopher shrugs dismissively, That's really not my department.
This is the first one that made me laugh out loud. My kids came over, “Can I see?” to which I replied “I’m a giant nerd.”

> In the 1950s, reducing infant mortality (the death of an infant before their first birthday) was a daunting problem: an astonishing one in 30 newborns died at birth.

> At that time, if a newborn didn’t seem to be thriving – if, for example, the baby’s skin was too blue or they were deemed too small – the baby would be left to die and documented as a stillborn.

It sounds like the problem was that doctors were practicing applied eugenics.

I used to emphatically applaud this statement, but in this era of fake news and disinformation, now I tend to think differently. Of course the freedom to doubt is still important, but not all doubts are created equally. You have to beware of someone feeding you a suspicious doubt.
Raspberry Pi 400 is almost that- more like a Commodore 64 in that it doesn't include a monitor.
I quite like what languages with proper sum types -- Rust, OCaml, Haskell -- do in these situations.

We cannot tolerate half-written buggy clients for an eternity.

Let us have more errors. Computers aren't humans. You have to specify things precisely, not throw a blob at them and let them figure it out. They can't. The attempts at that have only led to countless bugs and costly security breaches.
If you have a plan that relies on everyone in a nation of 300 million behaving ethically and honestly when there is a big incentive not to, you have a bad plan.

The moral failing is on the clinics, sure, but if you want to fix the problem, you have to look at the government.

The dynamics are what they are. Morality is not a meaningful factor in the long term. You only need one drop of poison to spoil a well and all that.

It is the government's job to deal with this dynamic, yes. It is up to the other actors to exploit it in whatever way they see fit. Again, morality is useful nor relevant. It's like pulling in morals in a game of chess.

You can eat neither Bitcoin nor equities, but equities at least make things you can sell for food, even if they are overvalued. Yes, trading equities or bitcoin can both be speculation, but at least equities have an intrinsic use, that exists even if no one wants to buy them. Bitcoin without buyers is just a waste of energy.

Whether Bitcoin as investment makes more sense than gold is unclear to me (though gold does have some real-world needs; probably not sufficient to justify its value), but comparing to productive assets makes no sense to me.

Top Frameworks to Learn in 2021
Want to learn a new framework but you don't know which one to choose?

Here's our list:

1. React

JavaScript is the most popular frontend language, which for years keeps a stable position on the market. Equally stable can be the framework of this language, that is, ReactJS (also known as React.js or React). It is the second most popular web framework worldwide — which is indicated by both Stack Overflow and HackerRank reports. It is used and supported by large and well-known companies such as Netflix, Facebook, Airbnb, Dropbox, or Reddit.

2. AngularJS

The second-place also belongs to the JavaScript framework. According to the HackerRank report, AngularJS has been the most widely known framework for three recent years. Moreover, according to the same source, as many as 27.6% of the programmers surveyed said they plan to learn it next, putting it in second place in this list.

3. Vue.js

The third-place also belongs to the JavaScript framework. Vue.JS is used to create simple single-page applications and dynamic UI. It is one of the fastest-growing frameworks. Since the first HackerRank's Survey, Vue.js, rises one spot per year since 2018.

4. Ruby on Rails

The fourth-place belongs to Ruby on Rails — an MVC framework written in Ruby. It is considered a beginner-friendly framework because it helps them to begin web application development rapidly.

5. Flutter

The last place in our ranking is taken by the framework, which has seen the amazing growth in the previous year, gaining 98.9K Github stars in the 18 months since its 1.0 release. Moreover, it is placed among the top 20 most active repositories on this platform.

What's Your list?
