Is this true even if only primitives are passed and returned? If so, why? For comparison, Java is fast at that these days, if I understand correctly.

They told us for five decades that saturated fat was bad for us.

Lately it turns out that saturated fat is absolutely fine, always was. Eggs, too, apparently.

It has been the sugar, nitrites, margarine and Crisco in everything killing us. The trouble with Crisco was known with certainty in 1957, and it took Fred Kummerow until 2017 to get it mostly out of the US diet. Some companies still get exceptional treatment allowing them to continue putting in poison, apparently because it would cost them money to stop putting in poison just yet. They have poison in the pipeline they would need to throw away that they would prefer to sell.

But, there is still something in American beef that causes trouble; just, not the fat. FDA spent the last five decades not investigating why beef is killing people, just out and out assuming it had to be the fat. for no reason at all. Now, we have to start from scratch and find out what is the real cause.

Meanwhile, glucose is absolutely fine, too.

Glucose is what is in corn before they use an enzyme to turn half of it into fructose, which is poison in the amounts Americans eat. They do it because fructose tastes sweeter when it's cold. It's hard to buy glucose; you won't find bags of it at the grocery store, even to put in your coffee where it would be hot and plenty sweet anyway. You pretty much only find it in Karo corn syrup, which is itself getting hard to find.

Remember that name, Fred Kummerow. He is personally responsible for kids born in this millennium not dying from heart disease caused by poison siphoned into stuff sold labeled as food. The corporations, their pet politicians, and the FDA fought him every step of the way. FDA finally was forced to declare trans fats poison in 2009, and then he had to sue them to make them issue regulations forbidding its use, which they didn't issue until 2014; and then they gave industry 3 more years to flush the poison out of their pipelines and onto Americans' arteries.

If you can keep the fructose out of kids, they might not die from type-2 diabetes and metabolic disorder so much.

A lot of people don't seem to know this but California is a vast state with practically every single kind of climate and an incredible range in altitude.

I don't have enough experience in California to say just how cold it gets in some parts but it certainly does snow in mountainous areas.

Building codes.

What you described is rational but unconventional and building codes are designed to require following convention. Also, the cost of connectors goes up quickly, but the right connectors could change the game dramatically.

On-site modular is common (though not very known) for large apartment buildings. Setup a factory in the future parking lot, crank out apartment modules, crane them into place and connect them. It's efficient, but not "cool".

Modular homes have to compete with site-built on cost and quality, but do so within the same set of rules the site-built homes follow. There are two major challenges: 1) customization and 2) transportation.

Many home builders already use pre-framed walls and most use pre-built roof/floor trusses and windows because those are already cost effective. They also use standardized materials across the spectrum.

So basically, the materials are standardized to the point of customization, with the exception of roof trusses and sometimes kitchen cabinets.

For modular to win, the designs need to be standardized at a larger scope or the building codes changed to allow plug and play.

Second is transportation. It can cost $5,000-$15,000+ to ship a truck sized building module, and then a large crane has to be rented to unload and place them. The max size of a module is around 10.5' by 40'. Any larger and you pay overweight fees and for pilot cars. If you think about it, that's only 400 square feet of space. So even a 1600 square foot house gets too expensive fast.

Does any of that add any insight?

I've personally found it limiting many times. I know the one place where I did actually end up using it, I had 128 bits of information where I had to be very careful with ordering of loads and stores and had to detect torn writes and retry.

Maybe my experience is not representative, but it's something to be aware of when designing algorithms with it.
On the related github repo:

"If you just want to see what I did, best to read the makefile directly."

Sometimes I'm amazed by the power of a good makefile that allows replicating a perhaps fairly complex set of inter-dependent targets. I wish this approach was used more in academic research, even though fitting data analysis and modelling within a standard makefile can get tricky (e.g. some passages going through remote cluster computing, some models involving large number of files that would need to be listed as dependencies)
And my cholesterol dropped by 90+ points by losing 40 lbs and adopting a chicken, egg, rice, green vegetable, nuts, cheese, whole milk, and fruit centric diet. Most of those foods were better with regard to satiating me and led to me consuming fewer calories overall.

Weight loss is a significant contributor to improving cholesterol levels in cases of non-hereditary high cholesterol. When moving from obese to normal weight (in your case) or borderline obese/very overweight to normal weight (in my case) it's hard to separate that from the impact of the diet on cholesterol levels.
First figure out if there is any kind of scientific consensus, and how solid it is.

There's are options in iOS to automatically download content that's been downloaded on other devices. One option is for media (music & video) and the other is for apps.

The attacker logged into the account on a real device and installed the app, probably by accident. Chances are, the compromised account was sold and someone bought it to be able to "buy" paid apps for free.
> This new logic can be applied to every other constant.

Constant is by definition constant. Generic type is known and bound only in the given code path and may differ across two different executions. That's not constant.
The question I always wonder, when people bring this up, is if they've applied it to themselves.

If they had a basic UBI of, say, $20k, would they quit their job, and not look for work, not work on personal projects, not look to go back to school, nothing, just do what they are assuming others will do, sit around, watch TV, that sort of thing? Rather than keep striving, keep working, and have both an extra $20k being paid to them currently, and that safety net in place in case they lose their job?

Because I can't imagine doing that. I -like- having a higher quality of life. I desire to do things, to affect things. In fact, the most frustrating jobs I've had were the ones that felt like they handcuffed me from leaving due to the salary (not to mention things like equity cliffs and paying back signon bonus), but deprived me of any real empowerment or responsibility to affect change. If this logic applied to me, I should be thrilled; I barely have to do anything, am barely expected to do anything, and am paid through the nose. But I end up hating it and wanting out.

Even something like working McDonald's; would the additional pay of working there on top of UBI be worth it? If not, what would have to change? Better working conditions? More pay? I'd be interested to find out; why -don't- people find service industry jobs desirable? Why would someone choose to be unemployed, if their disposable income is higher working there? Are they just lazy, as America likes to paint it, or are there institutional problems that could be addressed, but remain unaddressed due to the inability for people to just quit and walk away?

We actually have some anecdotal data to this; people who inherit money sufficient they could live the rest of their lives doing nothing.

If it's multiple millions, yeah, people do decide not to work, "trust fund babies" and the like.

But plenty of people get a few hundred thousand and a house. That's enough that, if invested, they could pay property taxes and live a basic life without working. They could sell the house and move out of the country, and live even cheaper. How many do it in lieu of working? Very few. Why? Because they desire something more.

Uh, firstly, have you heard of this invention called public transit. Or this other invention called a bike? Also, this comparison to crowds around stadiums is bizarre. Cars use up more space than pedestrians, so it is possible to commue by car, then it is possible to commute on foot - at least as far as crowding is concerned.
Preventative medicine is really tough. People die, and it goes through a progression, like pneumonia first, then the heart, then some cancer, then the kidneys. If your homeless, odds are that happens in your 30s. If your a monk, it happens in your 90s. It would be better to stop trauma. Car wrecks, falls, violence. Much more preventable.

Before changing venial and innocent human behavior, a lot easier to advance medicine:

Genetic blood thinners and statins. Dissolves blockages or improve circulation to damaged organs.

Therapeutic imaging, radiation therapy for cardio disease. Get it good enough where it's practically a tanning bed.

Non-invasive surgery, like catheter bypasses or valve replacements.

Better pacemakers. That professor at the University of Chicago did some great things with turbulence. Release one of those rings full of medicine to a diseased artery, controlled with a pacemaker or IV.

All more easier than stopping people from snacking at night.
Yes, that's my point - the outcome would have been better, less people would have died. Italy was there as a stark warning, to the point where it was obvious that provinces with stricter controls did better than those without.

The USA had the poorest performance. When a country can't attend to basic matters of engaging with reality and protecting its citizens, despite incredible resources, it is defunct.

I am going to rant here.
This virus is really an indictment on the state of the world. It seems inevitable now that it will be endemic, and due to the infectivity and presence of animal hosts, will not be eradicable. This is terribly disappointing. Consider that this is the year we gifted an entirely new disease to all the billions of people that will live in the future. We just increased by 1 the number of things that can make you sick and kill you. Think about HIV - if we could go back and stop HIV from spreading, with the benefit of 40 years of hindsight, we absolutely would have done that, no question, not for one minute. The economic saving alone is compellingly enormous, not accounting for the amount of suffering that would have been avoided. To me, all this calculus about economic activity and mental health versus stopping the virus is so short-sighted and missing the point entirely. It seems obvious to me that any degree of short term pain is a mere blip compared to how many people will suffer and die of the virus over the next 20 years because we let it out. We had one chance, one moment to stop this virus and we blew it. Everyone, every country, ever politician, blew it. I know it could have emerged in a few years, or there could be another virus next year but that doesn't change the fact that we could have stopped this one.
Not to get too political, but now do masks/HCQ/covid. It's just tricky. In the end, many "scientists"- and _especially_ science reporters are too confident, and many "armchair scientists" are as well. We should all try to do the best we can to follow the science, keep a healthy dose of skepticism, and be kind and understanding of people who may land on different opinions than us. Imagine if your stepmom had said "I've seen differing studies on this topic, and just come down on the side that bacon and eggs are bad" as opposed to "everybody who disagrees with me is an ignorant redneck". Will leave it to the reader to apply that to today's topic du jur.
I'm confused on the point you are making?

What I am getting out of your comment is that their weather doesn't go below freezing (which as a sister comment pointed out, California has plenty of places that are cold and snowy), which was my point. They don't have a test plan to include testing their cars for regular usage (I would think plugging in a car charger outside of a garage qualifies as normal usage) in weather conditions that a significant portion of the US population in fact have (weather conditions below freezing and humidity), but such weather conditions are not in their area.

What else is their test plan missing then?

So your saying it would take someone the same amount of time to say recreate an OS like windows, without the source code as it would to become proficient in building and maintaining it?

I don't buy that, if I wanted to create a $HIGHDOLLAR application, and It was possible to get away with stealing the source code i'm sure it would happen more frequently.

Its not that the code for windows/etc is worthless, its that anyone attempting to make any money selling a clone that was obviously based on it would be put out of business.

If OTOH, they sold a license to resell products based on the XP64 code base you can bet there would be LTS/embedded/etc type companies pooping up selling their own versions.

So while the effort to get a functioning build system and learn the code base is considerable, its a lot easier than reinventing the wheel. Hence why the code _DOES_ have value.

Is this still an issue in 2021?

10-15 years ago I used to use all sorts of methods to prevent email addresses from being scraped, and I had 100s of spam emails a day to content with.

Nowadays I get maybe 2-3 spam emails a day and they're never to the 'info' or 'support' emails that I occasionally post on websites.

I don't think that this is a problem that needs fixing or requires any drastic preventative measures any more.

Here is a distillation of various Tesla commentary I have seen, heard, and read.

Tesla made some mistakes, some due to hubris, some due to speed, some due to the newness of EVs.

Their emphasis is on speed since their mission is accelerating sustainable energy. That results in rapid iteration to reduce cost and simplify production. All those changes result in deviance but also improvements. The speed helps them quickly fix novel problems.

So you get panel gaps in some cars as they change and fix processes but you also get improved range due to the lighter rear casting. You get paint defects in some cars as they speed up the production line and don’t initially notice that it decreased drying time. You also get cheaper cars since they can produce more cars in the same time. You get a rattling heat pump that they subsequently insulate but you also get better range especially in cold weather.

This is why he said that if you want perfection, you either get an early car (since they will be inspected thoroughly) or you get a car at the end after all processes have stabilized. What should theoretically be happening all along the way though is a car that is overall better than competition since it is being much more rapidly improved (and with Tesla learning along the way). It’s up to each consumer to decide.
What could we have down about? Protests were ignored, lies were spread about (the CDU, germans leading conservative party) promised on their Websites "NO UPLOAD FILTERS", ironically, their party in the EU were the ones pushing the laws requiring upload filters. Now, the filters are sold as a "reasonable compromise". They ignored all experts, civil rights institutions, they managed to remove even the tiniest language that might allow for "fair use". In essence, it has been decided that copyright is a higher good than civil freedoms. And why wouldn't they? The lobbyists fill their pockets for it and their reliable boomer voterbase doesn't even want to understand it because it's "the internet" and they'd prefer not having it in the first place.

I really don't know what to do about it anymore. Sure, I can work around all this. I wouldn't be bothered by a censored internet either, mostly because i had the opportunity to learn how to route around it while that information wasn't censored yet. But it doesn't have to work for everyone, it's enough that it works for the 90% of people who didn't care and can't do any better.

This is frustrating to me and i honestly don't know what to do about this anymore. "I have nothing to hide" has become the only response i get from older people whom i try to explain why they are being abused and tracked without their knowledge. Why the ever extending reach of the state into their private lives and the ever increasing scope of surveillance and control is a really bad Idea if you want civil liberties to prevail. They. do. not. care.

I don't know what i can do to stop this anymore...
