A good comparison would be, what's the capital cost of a hypothetical fusion plant, compared to equivalent renewables (e.g. battery-backed solar/wind)
I've read it now. I still think it's obviously wrong to say that JavaScript can't be used for this. It's not like we are comparing Closure with Cobol here.

I highly doubt using datascript will give you a significant advantage over competitors in the long term, and I say this as somebody building pretty much a competitor app with Electron, but that's more a matter of personal opinion so I can only wish you good luck about that.
Cosmopolitan is a C library that makes an effort to conform to POSIX and ANSI standards. So in addition to its documentation page, you can dust off any old textbook on C development and use that as a reference or tutorial.

Something like SDL could be ported to run on top of Cosmopolitan but we'd need to port all its dependencies too. That would be a massive undertaking. If Cosmopolitan ends up being the next big thing and attracts a large community of contributors then something like that is bound to happen. Right now it's just a scrappy ambitious project being built for fun. So GUIs aren't something we're able to do quite yet. Although we've got TUIs working great! You can have the best most portable console / terminal apps in the world, today.

Think about it this way. How many years did it take Microsoft and Linux before they could offer a polished GUI? That should give you a rough estimate of how long it takes to develop these sorts of things from first-principles.
What's the alternative? There seem to be obvious negative externalities which the promulgating industries seem disincentivized to address...seems to be a legitimate basis for government intervention.

*Not necessarily agreeing with the proposed solution here of a mandated approach. Just saying that this may be a situation where government intervention is necessary even if it's just to sponsor public education of options that parents have to protect children.
Parents have lots of tools to prevent children from accessing harmful content.

Government-mandated filters are the worst way to tackle this problem. It gives parents a false sense of security, and everyone will focus on bypassing it. So all the parents think their kids are "protected" when they aren't, since every kid has a friend who can show them how to bypass it. And then it kills the industry because everyone is forced to use the government-monopoly program, so there's no incentive to innovate.
Latter-day though.

Seeing characters from the original be the bad-ass your younger self imagined they were but couldn't be is what The Mandalorian achieved. They crafted a story that allowed that to happen.
solid is dumb. and something that only makes sense for a comp sci from the 60s. everyone else who reads the project in simple english will see how dumb it is today.

in simple english: It is the dream project of whoever come up with cookies. basically cookies as first party data that you can download, upload, shared. All while having either the trouble of hosting a lot of infrastructure (just like the creators of email protocol thought everyone would do, ha!) or relaying all that info to a 3rd party like google or facebook. The nightmare scenario to everyone saying 3rd party cookies are bad.
And if the parents fail that (as they do), functioning sex education from schools and non-profits is a decent fallback.
Sure, but there have been proposed laws requiring deplatforming of hate speech, and some have even passed: https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/13/tech/french-hate-speech-socia...

Many keyboards have been worn out debating about the difference between the first amendment and free speech, but can we isolate to one case or the other here and set that issue aside in one thread?
That's an implicit poison pill. Is any other state doing this? Is there a list of states they hope will join?
1998 here.

Had a programming class in high school in which the teacher gave us a lot of free time to work on whatever interested us. I made dozens of games in Java during that time, mostly pretty simple ones, but by senior year I had written a sort-of advanced ray casting engine (Think Wolfenstein 3D but with textured floors and a fully-rendered ceiling layer) and I worked with two of my friends to develop it into a sci-fi RPG that we entered into a Game Development competition.

There was a definite moment in high school where I realized that I liked programming, and not just making games with it, and decided that I'd study computer science at university.

I don't think my experience is typical for my demographic, however.
Growing up in Europe and Quebec, there was (is) softcore on public broadcast TV.
> You can then get a PO BOX, setup your important things like property taxes/dmv/utilities/banks with it as the mailing address

Nope. A whole lot of official stuff (like drivers licenses and bank accounts) will now refuse PO Boxes.

I believe this stems from the RealID crap.
The claim upthread is that that particular case shouldn't be taken at face value: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26358183
I grew up Mormon and know that consensual sex between mature adults is often considered to be second only to murder in its "sinfulness". I expect this teaching mixed with accidental porn encounters doesn't help.
FWIW, legal systems are sometimes closer to what you're describing there than you might realise. Obviously this varies with jurisdiction, but contracts of adhesion often do carry less weight in the event of litigation, for example automatically giving any benefit of the doubt to the party that didn't write the contract. Often there are relevant consumer protection rules as well, for example a general requirement that the terms of any B2C agreement must be reasonable or they will be unenforceable. More generally still, contract law is usually based on the basic idea of a meeting of minds, with an implication that all parties understand the contract they are entering into.

When we drew up the Ts & Cs for my first business that was selling online, we took advice from a lawyer who specialised in this kind of work, and one of the first points they made was that if there was anything at all surprising or unusual in what we wanted for our terms, it should be emphasized prominently and early, not buried in small print at the back, for exactly the kind of reasons above.

I once saw an anecdote (possibly apocryphal, I don't know) about a consumer rights lawyer who said they never bothered reading the small print in these situations. When someone expressed surprise that even a lawyer wouldn't check what they were signing up to, they replied that either the terms offered would be reasonable, in which case the lawyer would have no problem with them, or they wouldn't, in which case the unreasonable aspects would be unenforceable anyway.
Wind and solar have zero fuel cost, but they cost money to build. A fusion plant is always going to be a rather high-tech, expensive thing.
On GUI's, if Go had some GUI a la inferno (no, not the crap of node, the one from the Unix/C/Plan9 guys), it would be the best thing ever on interfaces.
In terms of IDE support, VS Code with the Svelte extension is the best around!

A component library is a bit much to come until Svelte NodeGUI gets a bit more attention. Even Svelte web projects are underpopulated on component libraries, I believe. But it’s worth trying out the built-in primitives first!
I don't agree that it's like nicknaming Muslims "Mohammeds" or "Qurans". There already exists a short word to refer to Muslims, which is Muslims.

Mormon is an effective short form of "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints", which is a mouthful. And sometimes, you might want to refer to a specific type of Christian, such as Baptist, Protestant, Catholic, or in this case, Mormons.
Haha, not being able to buy beer in the grocery store or Costco was one of the biggest culture shocks for me moving to MD!
Musical instruments aren’t too cheap either. Drummers and guitar players can get good stuff secondhand, but most synthesizers will run you way more than a mid-range MacBook and a copy of Logic. God help you if you need a piano...
That's assuming that you're implementing multiplication in software though, right? Since CPUs have dedicated multipliers, aren't both around a single cycle?
Riot's Valorant rootkit is active from boot and actively monitors everything you run and will block things it doesn't like or doesn't recognize.

Most of the other kernel anticheat rootkits are more polite and don't run until a game starts them, at least.

In general having a bunch of random stuff from video games running with kernel permissions is spooky. You never know whether someone will find an exploit in one of them, or if it will cause performance, stability or data integrity problems.

Honestly I like the 4% ABV limit on beer. It forces brewers to make interesting flavors, rather than just blowing you away with ludicrously high ABV masked in hops.
Ebay is banning accounts that sell Dr. Seuss books.
Fact.

The outrage over racial overtones came from a left aligned organization.
Fact.

It was carried on and cheered on by left leaning people.
Fact.

People on the right don’t use words like “problematic” and “racialized undertones”

That’s on you guys.

This is from The horses mouth:

“ Six popular Dr. Seuss books — including And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street and If I Ran the Zoo — “will stop being published because of racist and insensitive imagery, the business that preserves and protects the author’s legacy said Tuesday,” The Associated Press reported.

“These books portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong,” Dr. Seuss Enterprises told The Associated Press in a statement marking the late author and illustrator’s birthday.”

^ The above is just stupid.
You cannot sell alcohol unless it is beer and served with food or you are a private club.

You should also take a moment to review the state’s history of unconstitutional, and in some cases, atrocious, sexuality laws.

Anyone know how different Coursera is from Udemy?

I recently took a course on Flutter from Udemy and was pretty disappointed. Not with the platform per se, but with the entire _idea_ of video courses on programmatic concepts. I only took it because for Flutter most of the resources are videos, and not books or articles.

I find that video courses do not invite the same level of interactivity I feel when I learn from, say, a textbook. There are also of course a horrible reference as one has to dig in to find a specific video, then find the time within that video to learn a concept, while with a book I can merely do a text search.

Videos also are frustrating in the fact that one cannot fluidly control the pace. One can pause and resume and increase from 1x to 2x and back again, sure, but with text I can merely... stop reading to code something up and then when I am ready to proceed I can... resume reading. I hate fiddling with a mouse or a keyboard to pause/resume/pause/resume/rewind, etc.

Needless to say I will not be taking a video course for anything programming related again.
I don't know why its hostile to say something is bad. No personal animosity intended.

The problem is that your method is an easy way to get great results and probably good enough for hobbyists. But if you really want to seriously learn how to draw, I implore you to explore the formal way of learning how to draw. It's hard and long haul task, takes years but it is damn satisfying.
There's no secret really, just don't import junk dependencies like most people do and spend some time inspecting your memory usage every now and then, with very little effort you'll probably cut down on your memory usage significantly by doing that. With a lot more effort often you can probably even make something faster than uses less memory than a supposedly native app (if they spent less time than you optimizing it).
Who is 'they' in 'their culture'? And what is 'culture'? Religion?

Surely there are atheists in Utah who don't want to go on a government list of porn watchers.
If you uncheck the boxes on the "how fat" page I linked above, then static binaries for a single platform usually end up being 4kb. Most of that 4kb is padding nops to page size. The question you linked is now answered.

Which government and which people? The link's about French laws. The parent article is a state in the USA. Different beliefs in many areas.
In the Canadian Province British Columbia (Where I am currently developing an orchard in), sterile culture is the only legal way to import some tree species. The reasoning for these restrictions is pest and disease prevention.
Off topic, but would be nice if they could do something - presumably far simpler - about the lack of fine-grained volume control.

It might be a niche case, but it's really frustrating using the various sleep-related audio apps at night with earphones and not being able to select a minimum volume that is both loud enough to hear but not so loud it keeps you awake (example: Audible with a sleep timer).

I'm sure there are other uses for the finer control as well.

We have a lot of artists who ask for MPBs with 64GB RAM, and when I ask for work samples, there's not even enough memory pressure to swap on their 16GBs. When I ask why they need it, and they always give some variation of "it renders too slowly".

It's not my job to help people pick out computers better suited to do the work they were hired for, but I really enjoy seeing the characteristics of and where the bottlenecks are in new generations of hardware.
I in the long run you're doing your worldview a disservice by simplifying political parties into a single axis. Especially for Utah, which can be a bit of an outlier on moral issues due to the state's large LDS population
Perhaps you should read the article, "Latency of the most popular android phones in Jan 2017" list only 20 samsungs.
It's one of those things which becomes clear if you look at the sourced history, but people who believe in the version of Britishness taught at school refuse to contemplate.

Overt Nazism was certainly present; not just Rothermere and the Mail, but people like https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unity_Mitford and Oswald Moseley.
What better alternative is there for handling currencies? Multiplying the original amount by 100 and casting to an int? ($3.50 -> 350)?
> Growing up watching television in the US, you couldn't see topless women on public broadcast TV, let alone hardcore pornography.

Yes, and look how the US turned out. Immensely sexually repressed, zero sex ed in many states, and throwing a fit any time they see people who don't fit their perfect idea of what a couple looks like.

Ask yourself why you're so scared children might find porn.
Montgomery has bars and they have liquor stores.

Utah did requires a membership in a gentlemen club to drink in a public place. Perhaps this has changed.

You can't buy beer in grocery stores in every province in Canada either. But the amount of alcohol in beer is double the US.

Beer in grocery stores is a poor proxy for dem / rep
Device manufacturers don't have to follow random Utah laws: they can simply not sell phones in Utah and not have corporate operations there. Utah has 3 million people, it's not exactly a major population center. There are many cities in the world with more people than Utah.

And I'm pretty sure "Verizon bloatware" is not installed at point of sale. What would stop a random employee from installing keyloggers? This stuff is centrally managed.

They'd very likely be losing money by complying with such a law. They wouldn't be leaving money on the table, they'd be taking it off the table.
Also, what is "your 'civilians'" supposed to mean?
r/animetitties on Reddit is pretty good for news with the US filtered out. Yes the name seems weird - it’s not a joke.
Really? Wouldn't multiple softwares be equally vulnerable overall but the hacks would be more distributed in time as they're discovered at different times? Is that the problem you'd hope to solve? That it all happened within a few days instead of at different institutions at different times?
Uh, I don't agree with their rules but I can't get myself to say that this isn't sexually suggestive. I mean I just opened the link and got a list of videos of her bouncing her boobs and she even says it is "bouncy".
It's additionally odd given that the GOP is (allegedly) the party of "personal responsibility" . You would think this translates to expecting parents to supervise children, rather than have "government interference" do it for you. Regardless of what you think of the law, it's effective at highlighting that the GOP isn't really the "small government" folks that pundits want to make them out to be.

In 2017 huawei was huge (in popularity), even bigger than samsung.
I was reading somewhere that the earliest point for commercial viability will be in the 2060s. By which point we can assume there have been build a lot of renewable energy infrastructure (or else the climate crisis is still in full effect; and I can’t really think about what kind of society will have evolved from that disaster). This should bring down the cost of renewables even more then today as economics of scales grow exponentially. Making the quest for comersial viability of fusion even tougher.

I honestly wonder if fusion will ever be commercially viable. And if all these experiments will simply lead up to us realizing that: “cool, so fusion power is possible on Earth. Now what should we do with it?”

But hey. Maybe it will be the energy of the future on Antarctica or the Moon or something instead.
December 2017 were crazy times in crypto. John McAfee would promote a "Coin of the day" for like two weeks straight and the price would sky rocket immediately. People had bots to watch for his tweets to programmatically place market buys on exchanges right away before the pump in price from flood of people buying the coin.

Dunno about everywhere in Europe, but the area around Gare du Nord struck me as pretty far down the scale.

Universal healthcare would sure be a good start in the US.
>extremely well documented that wealthy neighborhoods have significantly better outcomes than their poorer neighbors

Sure. But wealthy neighborhood correlates with a bunch of other things than high property values and typically relatively high property taxes which fund schools. It also tends to correlate to successful people, often well-educated, with at least one parent who spends a lot of time involved with their children's schoolwork, other types of support including tutoring if necessary, etc. So it's more complicated than the local public school has more money and spends that money on the right things.
Sure, they don’t have to.
They will however.
Okta’s core strength is in her predominately salespeople; programmers, not so much.
To make the old school scams believable you need to wrap it in some high tech story that people believe but don't understand.
The controls here are maddening though - I kept expecting the down button to drop the piece rather than rotate it.
It might be a violation of the first amendment, but I think that'd be unlikely.

Access to such is already heavily restricted based on the viewers age and the content (including the actors age) and that seems to be generally socially acceptable. I think that the "important" part of the first amendment is usually focused on government control of speech that is made in opposition to the government, this doesn't appear to violate that in any way so I'd guess that the supreme court would probably be okay with this law from a purely first amendment perspective.

A more applicable law would seem to be Article 1 Section 8 (the interstate commerce clause) but that is also pretty weak - I believe that certain states already have widely differing views on adult content so even that might not stand up.
So when debating the merits of government policy, we can’t talk about Utah and France in the same conversation? I understand that this would make it harder to fit into local tribalist conflicts.
A tokamak can only constrain a plasma in 2 dimensions. To get confinement to last longer the magnetic field concentration needs to increase. An entirely new way to constrain plasma to 3 dimensions is needed for practical fusion applications. Otherwise accidents will be disastrous for plant operators.
I expect the result here would be 'not intended for sale or use in Utah' stickers.
I'm skeptical that duck typing can really be considered a full "solution", but at the very least it seems like a good bet.
What are the equivalent numbers for iPhone? Touch to audio and round-trip times?
Ludicrous statements like "Sharing or engaging in sexually suggestive content or activities" are garbage weasel words that allow them to apply that standard to anything. People love to state that private platform can do what they want. This only true in a limited sense. While big breasts is not a protect class, things become protected classes due to this kind of exclusionary practice.

The fact they cannot provide a fixed definition of sexually suggestive and also provide an example to share with the person on how they violated the terms means it's just an algorithm and they have to stand behind their algorithm of x clicks is ban.

This is totally a form of censorship and its pervasive on these platforms. Nebulous rules that are not applied consistently. Instead of asking would you apply this standard to a small breasted woman, ask if they would apply the standard to a man. Why are applying their standards in a gender specific way. Because sex/gender is protected.

If a man did the same dance with no shirt, no one would say anything.
> Mormon is an effective short form of "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints", which is a mouthful.

I agree, but they've asked not to be referred to by that term. If we extend the courtesy to trans people who don't want to be referred to by certain terms, I don't see why we shouldn't extend the same courtesy to religious people who don't want to be referred to by certain terms.
Am I a prude? idk why I've never found this kind of humor funny
I hate videos too, but they are useful. If you're taking a course that's GUI heavy it pays off. First time I decide to learn iOS programming, it was great. Figuring out the exactly 10 locations I have to click and in which order is faster with video than any other way. So it depends exactly on what you're trying to achieve. Before acloud guru had it's site, they were on udemy. It was great for getting my AWS cert back then, I just watched the videos and didn't have to wade around AWS console to find out where things are. So for tech stuff, it's really useful if what you're learning is more GUI heavy than CLI heavy.
I also used to be very excited about online courses until I experienced them as superficial when compared to books and self-checks. I think the best way to learn some things ends up being experiential, so something more like an apprenticeship than a lecture would be the most efficient. But in reality, it seems hard to find that.

You also find the same in, for example, college. Where a tutor may be able to get you up to speed faster by 'debugging' your learning.
