No. That’s just one example in response to your attempted boxing of all economic consequences into the “participants” of a transaction. The example falsifies your claim from ever being true.

My claim is that all economic activity is tied to energy and that energy is limited and usage of said limited energy in one place prevents usage elsewhere. Try to find an example that falsifies my claim. You can’t.

Recently I had to install a secondary windows boot just to play W40K Battlefleet Gothic Armada in drm-protected COOP!

But DRM is a problem in and of itself. Something which linux gamers can't even change by refraining from buying, with their mighty ~1% market share.

Also, the companies who rely that heavily on drm are not really in the business of providing native linux clients either. So proton can hardly be a hindrance for adoption here...

Everybody agrees Chernobyl was the worst. But that doesn't mean the others were picnics. A common thread is systematically discounting harm to people exposed. With such pervasive dishonesty throughout the industry, rigorous oversight has proved impossible, in practice.

The nuke navy is always cited as having no incidents, but that doesn't pass the smell test. Military failures are easily classified and buried.
> Some argue that if Webb was complicit, so was everyone working in the administration at the time. We agree.

Literally everyone is or will be guilty of this. We all associate with something that someone will eventually condemn some aspect of. Absolute purity is a standard no person can meet. If that's the measure, all awards and honors really ought to be abolished (or ritually withdrawn with condemnation immediately after being awarded).
What gives you the idea that nuclear power plants can't be placed near rivers? Almost all that aren't on the coast are near rivers.

And they don't need to use potable water. The Palo Verde plant uses wastewater.

Because humans need water to survive, all population centers are built with access to water. Thus, cooling is available pretty much anywhere one would want to build a nuclear plant.

Hm I beg to disagree. Canadian business owner I speak with in privacy do not like the system. Many employers will try to infer and avoid a ''pregnancy risk'' by any legal mean possible. Why? A small business does not have time or ressources to deal with the constent team restructuration that a new baby causes. It does not matters how competent you are if you need a 6 month learning curve, then be replaced by a temporary contract, then be re-hired in 1 year. Saying otherwise is just SJW wishful thinking.

I'm not against paid leave or work-family balance. But the current canadian system simply assumes that its cost does not exist because they are distributed, without thinking of the consequences. Its just bad populist policy, and make sexism the most economic choice for a lot of decision makers.

My proposal : why can't we pay women for the work they actually do? Childcare and all that? Why can't we put ''raising a family'' as part of your linkedin profile? Dealing with babies certainly prepare you to deal with toxic coworkers.
Yes, in a way. What distinguishes irrational numbers from rational numbers is that all rational numbers can be represented by strings drawn from a regular language. For example, all strings generated by the regular language "-?\d+\.\d+?_\d+" (where "_" denotes the repeating decimal expansion as in 1/6 = 0.1_6) correspond to exactly one rational number and all rational numbers correspond to at least one string in this regular language. Irrational numbers (and other types of "numbers" such as +inf and -inf) cannot be represented by any such regular language.
Ask HN: Great Laser Printer
Looking for a great laser printer, especially for doing things like printing out git diffs and code to review (I've found that it really helps to sit and think with a pen and printed code as opposed to looking at a screen). Any recommendations? Wirecutter's recommendations are my default.
I admire the thought here however as author himself pointed out this is an innovation killer in some way. I think then we need to separate what can be shipped with universal BYOC and what can’t. Any new innovation is build up on existing features. Extending it to heterogeneous clients will be neither cost effective nor innovation friendly. I work for MS office and shipping the same feature on online client vs win32 apps takes 1-2 quarter and sometime whole rewrite.

I'm sorry, but the basis of scrum is the scrum guide[0], not the agile manifesto.

Zola has instructions for how to set up git -> site update automation to Netlify or Vercel through GitHub or GitLab.

What a naive view! By the same measure, all computers are toys, and since there's something apparently wrong with toys, all computers are bad.

Or - perhaps this is too enlightened - toys are useful for learning, and we should not limit ourselves to things which are solely chosen for being the least like a toy.
I tried Jekyll, Hugo and Pelican. Neither sat as well with me personally as Gatsby.

I like only having to worry about a single language stack, and I can use typescript with Gatsby which negates some of my misgivings with js. Plus I can use react paradigms everywhere which is nice.

> The underlying design of Clojure's data structures must be different. It needs to efficiently support functional updates; you don't want to fully copy a hash table or vector whenever you add a new entry.

I've actually been curious about this myself. No one seems to scream that functional languages are slow, so I'm curious what's going on under the hood. Like the author, I would presume they don't fully copy the hash table every time I add an entry.

Is Clojure smart enough to know that the previous hash map is now out of scope and can be GCed, so it just mutates the hash map in place under the hood? In the tiny amount of Clojure I've written, that seems possible. On the other hand, it makes performance much harder to reason about since mutating a variable that stays in scope after the mutation presumably would still trigger a copy. Do they just implement some kind of a "fall-through"? I.e. if I add a key to a hashmap, it creates a new empty hashmap, adds that value and a reference to the original hashmap. And then when I retrieve values, it searches the new empty hashmap, and then the "parent" hashmap if it isn't found?

I'm curious because a lot of functional programming seems like the kind of thing that would thrash memory in a GCed language. It seems to an outsider like you can't do anything without allocating memory, which you're often done using almost immediately. It would seem like "y = x + 1" would always take more time than "x = x + 1" because of the allocation.

Maybe GC is just a lot better than I think. Or maybe the functional style, with it's less complicated scoping, makes GC trivial enough that it offsets the additional allocations. Does anyone have any idea, or maybe have a link handy? I'm not a language designer, nor a Java programmer, so I fear the source code may not be terribly useful to me. I'm also a terrible Clojure programmer, if Clojure is written in Clojure these days (although I'd like to get better one day, it seems like a really fun language).

And Tesla will happily release misinformation too.

One of the last fatalities, Tesla was more than happy to push out a press release based on telemetry, saying "Autopilot wasn't at fault, the driver was inattentive - the vehicle even told him to put his hands on the steering wheel!".

They somehow neglected to mention that the steering wheel alert was triggered, ONCE, and FOURTEEN MINUTES before the crash.

Misinformation is not a good thing. But lets not pretend that Tesla is some downtrodden underdog just trying to make our lives better.

Also, if you have an accident in your Tesla, you'll have a lot of fun trying to get any telemetry information from them, even if Tesla isn't a named party and you're just dealing with the other involved person. You'll need multiple subpoenas and expect them to resist releasing any data as "proprietary".

But should your telemetry from an accident be able to be spun (correctly or otherwise) into a Get out of Jail Free card for Tesla, expect it to be released to the media without your consent or authorization (I'm sure it's buried in Section 48, Subsection 24, Paragraph 14c iii that you consent, but still).

I got downvoted for saying this before. Downvote me again if you want. [Edit: read what i have to say first this isn't a game]

Nazis and Hitler should be off limits. Period. You wouldn't dare accuse people of colour of imitating slave traders, yet you think it's acceptable to do that to Jewish people. The evils Hitler inflicted has no parallel. To compare any aspect of Nazi ideology to something else trivialises their memory. You demonstrate that you have no sympathy for their victims. You don't really care or understand what Hitler and the Germans did. Casual comparisons like yours means that the lessons learnt from the holocaust will lose their power and ultimately be forgotten. I believe this to be far worse then merely perpetuating anti semitic tropes. You would never do one, so why the other?

The issue is that the representation of floating point numbers imposes additional cognitive burden that the code must handle. How does the web server header parsing code handle positive/negative infinity? How about NaN?

NaNs/infs are particularly vicious, as they propagate through computations.
Indeed. Giant technology companies are effectively part of government now. They make and enforce the rules about public discourse.

The libertarian argument used to support censorship is that a private group or business is free to do what it wants. However this misses the increasingly apparent fact that an insufficiently politically correct business in this environment is quickly targeted and perhaps even 'cancelled'.

So we have a systemic problem. Private entities are not truly free just as the de facto government is not truly accountable.

I don’t think it’s crazy, what if rural areas (which lean conservative) have biased ethnicity?

I tried Org Mode the other day and gave up when Emacs didn't allow me to edit an in-place SQL fragment with some cryptic error that you can't edit it in-line, so had to use a keybind to open a new buffer in order to be able to edit something that in Markdown is as as simple as triple backticks, the word "sql", the SQL code, and then another block of triple backticks.

Am I missing something? Org Mode is always so glorified yet it failed a pretty basic use case for me.

One idea is to use active disinformation such as receiving mail in your own name at a UPS Store or PO Box and ordering things to your home -- magazines especially as they aggressively resell subscription lists -- in the name of an alias or the former owner (once mail forwarding has expired).

Floats are essential for machine learning, scientific computing, and any other application where the goal is to model mathematical processes involving real numbers. The idea that there is something out there that could do the job better than floats is almost certainly wrong.

I'm fascinated by how common it is for programmers to hate floats. Yes, if you write business software for a living you may not have much use for them. But there's a lot more to computing than business software.
We're talking about SQLite instead of text files, not instead of RMDBS.

I read this book on assignment in a college interpersonal communications class as part of an engineering undergrad curriculum in the late 90s. It really blew my mind as someone who came from a solidly working class background from a tiny, rural town and was for the first time immersed in a world of people whose parents went to college or were academics or were my age but already had money. The fact that class wasn’t just about money but also about privilege, expectations, ability & willingness to take chances, but also anxiety and fear and insecurities really resonated with me. I started to see the world in a different way and to a large extent was able to empathize (both for non-self-interest as well as for my own practical code-switching reasons which I was able to subtly incorporate into my interactions). Today, there is a bit of friction at times between my family and I because of how I view art or food or many other aspects of daily living (as well as what things I consider _part_ of daily living). I’ve never felt that it’s because I was trying to put on any airs or be anything other than myself, but I sense a distinct class conflict in a variety of areas of my life and I think a college education at a diverse school, and in no small part this book, are a lot of the reason. Perhaps the biggest impact was to think earlier in my life about what I actually wanted out of life, instead of assuming that college was a way to “level up” my income, and to not fall into a trap of thinking that money == class ascendancy == problems going away.
>I have the freedom to do anything that doesn't actively restrict the freedom of others. I can walk into an empty space. I can't walk into a space you occupy.

Exactly! In this way, your freedom is limited for the sake of other freedoms. However, as with the corpse desecration example, your freedom is also limited for the sake of various freedom froms. With assault, for example, there is no freedom to write and post threatening letters. If I receive a threatening letter, my freedom to do things hasn't been impacted. However, my freedom from threats has been impacted. Even the traditional American view of freedom is very widely restrictive, and for good reason.

>We are now experiencing an attempted Marxist takeover of our own society.

If this is a 'Marxist takeover', I'd have to say the Marxists are doing a pretty poor job of it. I don't recall Marx writing that racist depictions in children's books shouldn't be sold at auction, though.

>But now, barely 6 years later, the Leftist Mob has come for Dr. Seuss, and we're all bullied to recite that Dr. Seuss is racist, was racist, has always been racist.

No, you're not. Who's forcing you to say that? In fact, who's even forcing you to accept that view? The very fact that we're having this discussion is evidence that this isn't happening.

>but to condition us to reject, ban, and shun "unacceptable" ideas, thoughts, and expressions - on social command.

This is conspiratorial thinking. We are already conditioned to shun unacceptable ideas, thoughts and expressions; it comes from two elements of our world - freedom of association, and moral autonomy.

>The overarching theme here is control: in the leftist vision, society must control and regulate the consciousness of all its members, in order to create a perfect Utopian centrally-controlled society.

I'm a leftist and I don't share that view, at least. I can't really think of anyone who does. All the leftists with influence (from Marx to academics) has never shared this view. In fact, they called out the capitalist regulation of consciousness and its control through culture. The 'leftists' were the first to systematically investigate the role of ideology in the modern world.
Autopilot might not be around, but up until very recently Tesla refused to participate in a lot of auto safety testing saying that they believed the testing regime was "flawed".
