- I use a Chrome/FF extension to add custom themes to web pages. Over the past year the app's been incredibly buggy (i.e. the theme gallery doesn't load), so I've taken to making my own. I've made some for W3 Schools, MDN, eBay, HNews, and more.

- At some point when I'm playing tennis, I'll tap my shoes with the tip of my racquet and shift my shorts/pants around, exactly like Link from Ocarina of Time does when he's been idle.

- I enjoy re-reading text conversations from months (and sometimes years) ago.

- I aspire to own an oud and learn how to play it. I started playing the bass guitar last year, so although I'm not unfamiliar with instruments of that type the oud would still be a challenge.

- I collect antique Soviet/USSR wristwatches.

- I find the English Inns at Court fascinating. I've eaten at the Middle Temple once, and their lunch buffet is incredible.
I would add The Constant Gardener (with ok movie) and Single & Single to those recommendations. The latter reminded me of the Magintsky affair.
I liked the article, but I don’t understand how it handles interrupts? Wouldn’t signal handling imply a global nursery? Another discussion discussed logging, which would also imply a global nursery. If a SIGHUP hits the process, how does the signal handling thread in the global nursery cleanly kill the logging thread?

I like the direction, but maybe there have been refinements in the last two years to handle these cases, because they seem unresolved/unresolvable.
I can see how that can happen, a workplace in Spain is also a place for socializing. In fact, I have seen the opposite happening with Spaniards working abroad. Some of them can't take very well that their colleagues just come, work and leave and sometimes they don't even say hello or goodbye.
The movie would work pretty well if Hans was well intentioned and just felt he just had to kill Elsa in the end to save everybody. I think there was an interview where the creators said the real villain is fear- but that's not really the movie they made. They got close to making that movie but blew it with Hans's mustache twirling villain revelation scene.
A math amateur is not a crackpot. Being a non-professional means you have credibility issues, not mental issues. After all, a math amateur who is rejected by Tao doesn't necessarily think the math world is in conspiracy. I also would not presume that a math amateur would go on Tucker Carlson's show to talk about the deep state infiltrating the CIA and thwarting Donald Trump.

Like other middle-aged men with young daughters, I have seen this movie probably 50 times now. It’s a great movie with a touching story and a clever plot, but the analysis is wrong and convoluted. The trolls were a plot device, plain and simple. Assigning further meaning to their role is pure speculation.

It's also a massive assumption... first of all that Ghana won't be able to process & export chocolate in significant quantities, and second of all that other nations that are paying the LID won't be able to pick up the Swiss slack.

Surely the cocoa won't just be burned, someone will find a way to process it.
I'm going to copy/paste what I've posted in the other discussion about it.

They can process the beans and no one will notice. There are a lot of cocoa processors who produce bulk chocolate for other brands who melt that down to form their own products. Companies like Barry Callebaut or Valrhona primarily supply other companies with chocolate.
Schematics to gerber flow will gain a lot it real, practical to use versioning will be there.

I'm all for for making PCB design akin to software development.

Moreover, I believe there is an opening for HLS like language for board design to unify schematics and spice space.

I looked into EDA Solver, I looked into SkiDL.

SkiDL seems to be a bit more alive, and ready for practical use.
Oh, but we already do this - just with a small subset of patients... and pets. Vets have to kill pets quite often.

As far as patients are concerned: We have life support, and we withhold life support once we conclude that there is little to no chance of recovery. Assisted suicide allows this sort of thing sooner, for folks that are suffering.

Those death angels you speak of aren't angels. These are murderers. You are afraid folks are going to murder others. This already happens, and we already have laws against this. We can very quickly produce statistics on what sorts of people seek out assisted death: We can look to other places.
Depends on which prison in the US. Angola, in Lousiana, for example is pretty notorious for refusing medical care, recreation limited regularly, forced labor in the fields, etc.

Edit: She mentions "Corrlinks" which provides a sort of "email" like service to Federal prisons. So this person was in a US Federal Prison.
> when using Ruby

To be fair to Ruby, most languages are largely mutable and without any strong thread-safety guarantees. Does that make it okay? No, but it’s far from a Ruby-specific problem.

> I believe that this could be addressed with an architecture that favored single-threaded processes that can handle a single request at a time.

Unicorn (the application web server GitHub is using) does follow this model. GitHub added their own additional thread within that process that broke that design in an unforeseen way.
yep, 30 years is enough time to pursue several degrees, let alone basic skills. What facilities do US prisons provide!?
> I'm saying that Rust should seriously fight for the market C++ was able to actually carve out, rather than the market C++ dreamed it could have when it first gained traction

That's exactly what Rust is doing. It used to have a runtime, green threads and a GC, but it doesn't because that's not what C++ developers want. And recent development work has been focussed on const generics and const fn which are both keys things seen as missing by C++ developers.
It seems to me that people the works over think it is the homeless’s own fault they are homeless. That’s the problem.
Leaves from prison (felons) are not common in the U.S. Leaves from jail (misdemeanors) are more common (e.g., leave for work during the day, then back to jail after work).
Norway also didn't exist as an independent kingdom until 1905 (instead being ruled by the king of Sweden) so using the current rules of succession don't make much sense. Actually if the royal family in one of the Scandinavian countries died out, it would be more than likely a king or prince from another Scandinavian country that's next in line for succession (like Prince Carl of Denmark became the Norwegian king Haakon VII in 1905), so pretty much what Hans was planning.
There have been some cases in the US of violent criminals being given furlough and committing further violent crimes while out. This has tended to reduce furlough opportunities here.
The last time a widely used language was built for safety (Ada), the first thing they did was to hammer out a spec for the language's semantics, even before implementation began. Today, hackers cavil about "design by committee", and Ada was probably the most widely mocked language to come along since COBOL, but its well-defined, slowly changing semantics (it can take a decade for a new standard to come out, and the new standards don't mess with the stuff that worked in the old standards) has been its salvation, and why entire industries of safety-critical software rely on it today.

The Rust Evangelism Strike Force could take a few hints from the actual military about how to design a language to a spec. By all means, iterate with actual code first. But do not expect third party users to use the "whatever rustc does is the spec" releases for actual production work. Use those releases to hammer out the details, draw up a spec, then release the spec (under an open license of course) and let the implementations flourish.
If Ghana is able to process its own cocoa at the same rate as the Swiss, or at least accelerate to such productions soon, then the world won't see a massive shortage of chocolate, just of raw cocoa.

It seems reasonable to me. My understanding is that the ones adding the value, by turning the raw material into chocolate, are the ones making the majority of the profits.
Clearly wherever this is (US?) prisons are not about rehabilitation and inclusion back into society.

Weren't there any classes? Books? Library? Computer rooms?

It's complete failure of a justice system if person comes out of prison like from a time capsule. IMHO it may just increase recidivism - what can a person do in a "free" world if he/she were not let to know about the world outside prison walls?
Hey, I appreciate the wisdom! Maybe I'll do another blog post in 6 months, or whenever I get to the bottom of how much I owe. We were in the ICU for 147 days, then home for 2 weeks, then we took her back to the ER and then were re-admitted to the ICU and we've been here now for 4 weeks and change. I appreciate your story!

My ultimate argument, is I have a sick child. I want to spend my time focusing on my sick child, not chasing bills, or calling people to chase my bills, why even bill me? Why do I need to get anything, other than the final bill? Can't they wait a year until after everything is said and done, and then bill me? By that point, everything would have had enough time to be chased, cleared, confirmed, etc.. Like, if I don't owe 2.5m, why stress me out and send me something saying I owe 2.5m? If I pay for a $4,400 out of pocket max, why can't it just be a $4,400 lump sum paid up front? Why isn't there an insurance plan that is $0 deductible, $0 out of pocket, but costs $3,000 (or w/e) per month, which covered everything? If you're going to f*ck me over, at least make it as pain-free/simple as possible I guess is what I am saying.

What do you mean it’s happening in dc? Are there plans to move the capital? I think the two data points you provided, while interesting, don’t make much sense on their own.
That rant, wow. It really resonates deeply with me. People would rather cumulatively spend some 10000 hours yelling at Office for the rest of their lives, instead of spending 10 over the course of some evenings/weekends to brush up on the basics. Even from an immediate-more-important-priorities-perspective it almost doesn’t make sense to me.
Egypt may just be following trends nearby: Equatorial Guinea (in Africa) is relocating its capital from Malabo (which is on an island) to Ciudad de la Paz (on the mainland). The country is ranked in the top 10 most corrupt in the world, by Transparency International. It is an outright kleptocracy, and living there is quite an experience, according to people I know. Interestingly, you can go there visa-free as an American, but if you are British, you better not even think about setting foot there. Construction of Ciudad de la Paz is being funded by countries that are either experiencing illiberal trends or have horrendous human rights records: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciudad_de_la_Paz

Ghana's electricity supply is 51% fossil fuel, whereas Switzerland is 2.5%.

But its a lot easier to build solar plants in Accra than in Bern...

I think that Europe is at a fundamental disadvantage over the medium/long-term, due to the burden of its welfare states.

Its surprising to see that taxes over basically all categories are lower in Ghana than in Europe (except corporate taxes).

The minimum monthly aged pension is €6.60 in Ghana, vs €1,080 in Switzerland. Life expectancy is 20 years longer in Switzerland than Ghana, but the retirement age is only 4 years later.

The end effect of these extremely early and generous pensions is that economies become stratified, to ensure that these pension payments are maintained, and taxes are heaped on individuals to pay for it.

Europe needs a widespread increase of the aged pension age to 70, cease all migration from regions with high usage of welfare state service, and begin a large, multi-generational modular nuclear power plant building plan.
I've not read HTDP, only very little of it. However, I find it hard to imagine, that they would not introduce data abstraction layers, like they do in SICP. So, if you relate to the usage of single linked (nested) lists, I quite sure, that improvement by switching out the data structure and putting in an appropriate one can be had. Furthermore, they'll probably teach mutation as a last resort, not as a standard thing to do, which allows for easier parallelization, provided you choose an appropriate data structure.

Once a fundamental understanding of the problem solution is achieved, one can think about refactoring steps like this. Depending on how well one wrote the code, these refactoring steps become easier or more difficult.

Very interesting. I have suspected for a long time that due diligence was not actually due at all, but just pointless make-work.

Outsiders, no matter how prestigious their MBAs may be, are unlikely likely to come up with any kind of revolutionary insight in how the target company should be run than those who are actually running it.

Another thing that caught my eye on their website[1] is that they "avoid synergy at all costs". Maybe it makes sense in some capital intensive industries like car manufacturing, but in computing it just seems like a waste of time.

No way. Denmark has high taxes which finance free education, free healthcare and "child money" which every mother gets. Remove those benefits and it would be much harder economically to raise children to the same standard of care.
This long form Twitter stuff is so miserable. This seems like an interesting story, but I couldn’t read past the second segment.

This is interesting in conjunction with the story itself, a man having a hard time adjusting to digital interfaces.

So much of it is caused by the abject poorness of digital interfaces foisted on us that we just accept and stumble through.
> [...] is unable to house, feed, clothe and provide drug/alcohol/mental health treatment to a mere 10,000 homeless people.

This shouldn't be surprising at all considering that the city is already spending money on anti-homeless programs, and the 10,000 people are the people who are homeless despite those programs. Housing those 10,000 is hard because the "easy" homeless people have already been housed, and the 10,000 left are the "hard" ones. In the same way, ensuring that your SaaS is up for 1 hour isn't really hard, but ensuring that your SaaS has less than 1 hour of downtime a year (99.99% uptime) is significantly harder.

Ethereum is moving to proof of stake, so this whole carbon footprint concern is going to go away.
The US is a large and diverse country, no matter where you put the capital it will be in a society disconnected from the rest of the country. You could build the capital in a corn field in ohio and it would be culturally disconnected from the coastal areas which, importantly, is also where most of the people live.

These use Ethereum, not Bitcoin, and ETH is usually mined with GPUs, not CPUs.

What I've seen continually in government is the dreaded form-builder Frankenstein.

1. Gov thinks it needs some simple form building
2. Chooses a vendor form building framework, some mashup of ASP.NET usually with workflow tools
3. Oh, we'd like documents stored, and an integration with another system, and a custom reporting tool, and a payment function, and a appointment booking.
4. Vendor doesn't want to lose business so builds custom code into the "simple" form/workflow tool.

All of sudden the simple form tool is customized beyond belief, falls behind on updates and becomes impossible to change. Worst still, nobody wants to invest in it because it just-about-works.
This feels like a honeypot for twitter to keep tabs on people that disagree with their policy.
