The population ratio is irrelevant. The relevant ratio is ‘actively seeking reproduction in the same age and social class’. Nearly all men in the progressive career class are actively seeking reproduction, and very few women. This is because, in this social class, the opportunity cost of reproduction is low for men and high for women. It is massively the opposite in low social class. I think you might be shocked to experience gender dynamics in largely poor and uneducated communities. The desperation for suitable male mates is palpable.
Which is also where all the major offenders are, because of tax trickery. This is starting to be really annoying.

Protecting personal information is a different level of privacy than total privacy/anonimity. The first is reasonable, and covered by GDPR and the like. By asking for total privacy you are just asking to make it simpler for crooks. Also, people are always asking for total transparency from governments, so why is a little reciprocity so bad?

I find it always fascinating, that the same groups (Greenpeace, etc.) are always quick to point to UN reports about climate change (like the IPCC report) as if they were gospel but all the reports of the UN about Chernobyl and Fukushima are supposedly fake. I personally believe both are correct.

After extensive, long-term, high-quality studies of the effects of (mid- to low-level) radiation on populations after Chernobyl [1], Fukushima (cf. article) and even Hiroshima [2], it is pretty safe to say that radiation poses a much smaller risk to humans than is often propagated in the horror scenarios of many environmental groups. The theory most of these scenarios are based on, ie. that every little amount of radiation lineraly increases the risks for cancer, is pretty much debunked. So, yes, nuclear is a dangerous technology, esp. if we keep stopping reserch and progress happening on a large scale and don't replace the 50 year old reactors. But coal kills tens of thousands every year and nuclear is still one of the few relatively reliable, almost CO2 neutral power sources we have.

I immediately thought of Salesforce and their almost-but-not-quite SQL query language that they have.

Or Microsoft's Graph API, which is kind of SQL-y, kind of LDAPy, but not systematized enough that you can be confident anything you try will work without reading the doc on the particular resource you're trying to get.

Rust implements affine types, which means every object must be used at most once. You cannot use them twice, but you can discard them and not do anything with them. Linear types means exactly once.

but I don't think you can easily move from affine types to linear types in the case of Rust, see leakpocalypse[1]

When I work with non-OO languages, an ORM isn't missed. Rather, flexible language-native data structures are gained. When I first stepped outside the OO world after years in, I couldn't help but notice how much "technology" was just compensating for problems imposed by OO languages.

Hi Keith, I still remember when Autocode was called Stdlib. I liked the old name a lot better :)

For us at Hypermachine, we are tackling the problem by upgrading an existing low code platform - VB6/VBA. Our hypothesis is that pure no-code platforms are too limiting and inflexible for anything outside of the predefined connectors/widgets/use cases. There is a still a large gap between "call any arbitrary API and program" and "build a CRUD tool quickly". It is also a lot easier to convince users to use a platform that has been tried and tested for having a low barrier of entry than trying to teach full stack web development from scratch.
It’s not just Americans. My parents used to travel with a mini rice cooker, small bag of rice, and canned Chinese food when they travel. They have lived in Canada since 1990.

They stopped doing that after the Boston Marathon bombing cause of the airport security.

One of the highlights of their trip to France in 2002 was in Nice. Their hotel was near a Chinese Grocery and was able to get BBQ Pork and Soy Chicken.

Five years ago they went for a two week tour of Australia from China (after visiting relatives in China). Every meal on that tour was in a Chinese restaurant.
Take a look at the field of text summarization which is part of NLP.
The trip becomes quicker (to you) the faster you go. If you could ride a beam of light, you’d be there instantaneously, thanks to length contraction. Meanwhile 4 years would pass on earth in some sense.
(To an observer watching from earth with a hypothetical telescope, you are seen to arrive only after eight years total. Of course you could just ride the light back and tell him about it all, ha.)
I believe they mean that when you poll a future, you pass in a context. The future derives a "waker" object from this context which it can store, and use to later trigger itself to be re-polled.

By using a context with a custom "waker" implementation, you can learn which future specifically needs to be re-polled.

Normally only the executor would provide the waker implementation, so you only learn which top-level future (task) needs to be re-polled, but not what specific future within that task is ready to proceed. However, some future combinators also use a custom waker so they can be more precise about which specific future within the task should be re-polled.

> I just want my SQL back. It's a language everyone understands, it's been around since the seventies, and it's reasonably standardized. It's easy to read, and can be used by anyone, from business people to engineers.

I rely a lot on SQL and in general advocate for it, but that’s too simplistic of a view IMHO. SQL makes it easy to write and read simple queries, and ridiculously complicated and arcane to write slightly more complex logic.

More than once I’ve been asked to help fix giant SQL queries written by a business or analytics team and that’s a terrible experience.

Also, the tooling around SQL is often terrible and almost didn’t evolve during the past 15+ years. SQL queries from another programming language without an ORM means that you do everything by manipulating strings by hand, with zero type safety.

Edit: My favorite library in Go is reform, a generator that generates types and implement the Scanner/Valuer interfaces. You annotate your structs, generate the types, add the generates files to git, done. That way you have very limited ORM magic but gain some type safety. And you still have complete control over your SQL queries (which is often frustrating to do with classic ORMs).

https://github.com/go-reform/reform

Edit 2: the most promising ORM I’ve seen is Prisma, https://www.prisma.io/. I haven’t tried yet, I’m still quite attached to writing most of my SQL by hand because that’s what I know well, but their pitch seems good to me.
I really have to disagree, why can't you devise a formal method?

- a good name should be descriptive

- avoid being overly clever, call a spade a spade

- don't optimise for generalisation, naming things is a time to be specific

- aim for short but not at the expense of losing context

- avoid redundancy in naming of things nearby, leverage spatial context

- avoid qualifiers or type information where possible - type should be obvious from context and use, if it's not qualify or refactor

Anything else?
The solution would be a small amendment of the GDPR that local DPCs can take matters in their own hands if 1-2 years pass without the other DPC doing anything about a violation. (This would still be different from the other DPC finding there to be no violation).

I get that you are not completely serious, but before the cmake/meson/... people jump on this:

If ./configure is checked in as part of the official repository of a moderately well known project, I doubt any committer would be stupid enough to insert a backdoor into ./configure or the Makefiles.

What can happen if an apostate project is not on GitHub: Some (usually several) faithful persons decide to correct the situation and put multiple unofficial mirrors on GitHub, and other faithful people clone from a random one of these.

In that case however, they get what they deserve.
The problem may be with the fuzzy conceptual notion of "systems language" that is the starting point of many of these languages that end up with effectively conflicting set of goals.

As for hundreds other useless regulations that bog us down.

For example, compare the warranty process with Apple and with any of the other laptop companies. If regulations worked you wouldn't even consider warranty to be a good selling point.

Still I've been burned by warranties services so many times, threatened to report, reported to consumer report and I got nothing out of it.
I don't even consider it. I just buy crap I'll try to fix myself if it breaks or I buy from a reputable company.

What are the regulations doing for us then?

Thank you for your contributions to the jailbreak community, it’s what got me started down the programming / tinkering path back in middle school and has significantly shaped the opportunities I have today.

Yes, you need something against tampering. However, once you legally signed something, the contract/transaction is valid.

Various mechanism can be used to ensure integrity. What we implemented specifically is that various witnesses can inspect your Trustchain blocks and co-sign your balance. So any node can act as a digital notary. You can also use a reputation or trust function.

It contains numerous new mathematical proofs around integrity without strong identity assumption; .PDF "On the Sybil-Proofness of Accounting Mechanisms in P2P Networks", https://repository.tudelft.nl/islandora/object/uuid:6b4011c6...

Perhaps more accurate to say "safe reclamation of dynamic allocations without GC was not known to be possible in a practical programming language, before Rust".

The problem with languages like ATS and Cyclone is that you need heavy usage in real-world applications to prove that your approach is actually usable by developers at scale. Rust achieved that first.
That's an interesting question. I had an interim term between jobs, and travelled around a few countries in Central Europe. It's interesting how many places are somehow connected, whether through train, bus, or cars. You get some sense how geography influenced economic and cultural diffusion, thereby affecting city development.

My main takeaway is that even when you change places, you can't change yourself. I finally acknowledged the issues in my life, and began to address them.

My primary interest shifted from the locations to the location's history. Basically, I wanted to learn how a state formed and left its border and society to this day.

With the pandemic nowadays, I live and work in a small room, but have no urge to go faraway outside. There is much knowledge to grasp to help me understand the human condition.

> I think I can work out a 95 % estimation I am willing to stake money on even without the things you mention.

I doubt it. It's dicey to do estimations even when everything is well understood, but if you lack detailed and accurate records of past work for very similar projects... the best you can do is pad like crazy, cross your fingers, meet the deadline and say your confidence interval calculation was "accurate."
It’s probably just a function of the apps I happen to have worked on, but I have rarely (maybe never?) seen ORMs pay for themselves by the end. The classic joke about the business is that they see all of the costs and none of the value. But the developers tend to see all of the value and none of the costs. And the costs of ORM on a project have a very long tail. For most projects, if you really want to control what and how the developers interact with the database, a better approach is to have one or more separate db developers who create an API for the data via stored procedures.
how does this compare to GNU Taler[0] ?

I seriously doubt you can be proficient with React without knowing HTML.

Even if you use a framework like MaterialUI which abstracts all the HTML tags into React components, working on layout creates a recurring feedback loop between source and output code in the browser / devtools.

If you've done that for some time, you end up knowing a fair bit of semantic HTML.

So I suspect either your friend was exaggerating, the devs were lying about their React proficiency, or maybe they work on everything but layout in React (highly unlikely). At any rate, forgive my cynicism, but I can't help but feel that this is a classic HN cheap shot at React developers at large.

ORM to SQL may be another matter. I've been using the Django ORM in the last couple of months and it's true that I haven't touched SQL but once. I know SQL but I've barely felt my skills progress since.

I actually find ergonomic to be a very clear and intuitive term as it refers to programming language design decisions.

And to use your cake analogy, the fact that a process is complex or laborious is orthogonal to the degree to which it is ergonomic. You could imagine baking a cake in a well organized kitchen with well designed, comfortable tools, or you could imagine having to stand on your toes and reach to the back of a slightly-too-high cupboard every time you need to fetch an ingredient, and having to use a mixer with way too many settings you can never remember, and none that does exactly what you want. I think this is a better analogy for ergonomics in programming languages.

> it still assumes that the more powerful computer can displace the effects of food price inflation

Well, yes-kind-also-no?

It's not an index that describes the cost of necessities or human survival. It's an index that describes how consumers spend money on goods and services, such that the value of the money remains more or less constant.

In that sense, yes, people's computer-money spending patterns can affect the price of food. Literally anything else in the index can do so as well. No, the index is not "assuming" anything can "displace" food; it's just never set out to be a thing where food is this sort of baseline.

I can't be 100% sure, but you seem to think that there should be an index which cares more about food. Moreover, you seem to think that more public policy should revolve around this price index rather than the vanilla CPI that is currently used.

However, I would suggest that monetary policy is far blunt an instrument. It is one of the least-targeted tools possible, with the largest set of possible side effects, and food is too small a slice of the economy.

There's a reason we go for economy-level price stability instead of sector-specific. Imagine if the US had a real bumper crop, more corn and soybeans than you could eat: to meet food price stability targets the Fed would be obligated to shrink the money supply until the corn was as expensive as it used to be, and everyone's mortgages, loans, and credit cards would be harder to pay off.
