I had thoughts like this too, but honestly, some slopes are indeed slippery. Once you normalize the practice of selling your own organs, the market will readjust - the value of your organs will become a part of your net worth, and you'll be pressured to sell them in situations where you'd prefer not to.

It's one thing to have an option to donate your kidney to save someone's life, it's another when selling your kidney will become the only way most people can afford mortgage.
I'm not an expert in Nim, so it would be great if others could jump in. But to my understanding, Nim's ORC "garbage collector" (I'd rather call it memory strategy) is very similar to Rust's approach, it's based on reference counting (RC). It can also handle cyclic references.

Yes, this is the book and I guess I am replying to the author:) Thank you Nils M Holm. This book is very much on my taste, it contains exactly what it should and nothing more and nothing less. I guess some would prefer the Reasoned Schemer style but I find the dialogue a bit distracting for the first book.

I ordered a paperback from lulu and it was a great decision, I use a marker and write on the margins. It is absolutely worth it.

You'd be surprised.
Having listened to the b-side of the Frozen soundtrack a few too many times where the original composers talk about earlier versions of the plot that were changed. Such as increased conflict between Anna & Elsa where Anna wanted Elsa to go back to suppressing her powers and a kid's pageant about a curse of ever lasting winter and sword sacrifice let me just say that I think the original plot would have been more interesting. In addition the original Elsa sketches were much more frightening. So I think Elsa is actually the true villain grappling with her powers and alienation from society and the Hans thing is just a bad plot point.

This culture/attitude of constantly trying to level-up various skills in ones life like its a video game skill tree and always being "productive" is tiring and could be worse than my advice because it could very well lead to mental health issues of anxiety and depression.

A lot of the advice in this thread is your self-improvement cliches of become an early riser, focus a little at a time, set a timer, etc. that show up every time someone has a similar question. Sure some of that stuff might work, it also might not.

What I suggested just might get someone out of a funk. Try and force yourself to get to the burned out phase earlier of media consumption. I tend to get bored of things (usually after recognizing predictable patterns), but it takes a little while. I don't view it as "wasted" at all. Our minds need time to idle and recover. Just check with yourself if you are enjoying it and stop when you're not.

If you are working on switching careers or trying to learn something on a timeline (i.e. learn language before business trip) then that is different. It's work, not a hobby. You should set goals and probably follow a schedule of sorts. OP asked about hobbies though.

If someone works hard and spends their evenings watching movies or TV shows or YouTube for the majority of their career, so what? They are better off than 95% of the humans on the planet probably.

I can not speak of you or your friends situations, but I disagree with your generalization:

>Somehow the idea that someone can be perfectly sane and not want to live as long as possible is inconceivable to people.

There are many people who have considered suicide, chosen not to follow through (or failed), and then realized that they were in an emotional state of mind. Suicide is a generally pathological phenomenon - horrible things will happen if we don't accept this as the null hypotheses in specific cases.

Suggesting that Rust will follow Python by forking the language incompatibly is completely unfounded. No-one has shown any interest in that, and the edition system was designed specifically to avoid any need for that.

> Also the "safety/security" argument which is their big selling-point which goes out the window as soon as you pull 3rd party crates

Not at all. Rust's safety guarantees work in practice. In years working on our largish Rust project we practically never have had to deal with memory corruption or data races.

My understanding is that Disney struggled for a movie adaptation of The Snow Queen for decades, and the breakthrough was having two sisters as the protagonists one who would be the Snow Queen that fled into hiding when her powers were revealed.

It seems that fairly strong opening plot was enough to convince Disney execs to proceed and the writers filled in the blanks.
There is probably a 256-byte program that simulates a universe in which a superhuman intelligence evolves. Of course the memory and runtime requirements of that program would be prohibitive, and the superhuman intelligence would not know any human language, because there are more than 2048 bits of entropy in the basic vocabulary of any language (even Toki Pona, I would guess).

So, i just got my Macbook Air M1 16GB a few days ago. What's the best way to run Linux on it in a VM? Is it Docker?
...further research required.
This is similar to the situation with Global South coffee exports, wherein actual growers only receive a fraction of the revenue from consumer sales (despite the relatively cheap and easy value-add of roasting or conversion into instant coffee) because of logistical concerns, and because Europeans and American just plain do not buy African roast coffee when it appears on their shelves. If these countries were to decide to restrict exports, a billion-dollar market would collapse.
Running Docker on native Linux machine is vastly superior; the "old" TR1900X I have under the table is much more performant (for Docker) than M1 MBP on the table.

But then, M1 MBP is 25W part and not 180W, it is also silent, unlike the TR. So pick your poison.
Again, if you’re focusing on the lawsuits you’ve missed the point. Are you aware there is an extreme left bias online? Knowing that, and today’s extreme cancel culture can you explain why you’re not seeing more people talk about this? Even here on HN these posts have support, until dems downvote it beyond the upvotes. There’s that bias!

Meanwhile in actual face to face conversations people can’t stop talking about it. Some have given up out of desperation but pointing to lack of media culture and deplatforming does nothing but support the claims and issues i’m pointing out.

>"we should allow developing countries"

Not to pick on you, but I often hear this frasing in the 'first world' and surely you dont 'allow' or 'disallow' internal policies to an sovereign nation?

It sounds like a Freudianslip or something, the reality is that its easy to bully or bribe officials in developing nations.

It’s exactly the same situation by the criteria you just gave. Intoxicated driving is illegal because it puts the lives of others at risk.

If you don’t find that particular analogy salient surely you can think of others. How about just driving itself in cars that can go faster than the speed limit? The point is there are a multitude of things that provide benefit and also the opportunity for abuse, but rarely, virtually never, does this justify forgoing the benefit.
The Korean economist Ha-Joon Chang makes similar arguments in his book Bad samaritans. He argues that this model was successfully followed by Korea (Samsung, Hyundai, etc), Japan, and even Henry VII in 15th century England - well worth a read.

I am not arguing from a position of principle, my argument is one of computer security; if you got a zero day exploit then that's an invitation for taking advantage of it? Now if you can legally get rid of someone, then that's something similar to a zero day exploit with regards to the principle of having to protect the lives of the states subjects (who are paying taxes exactly for the purpose of upholding this principle).
It doesn't really matter to me what you, an internet stranger, are "excited to consider as something you want to work with." Instead, what you should consider is how incredibly boorish it is to post that "async is broken by design" in reply to the person who designed async.
Is not only 'I want to die', is 'I want you to kill me' (and deal with it, and deal also with my sons or family if they don't want the same as me), that is a different case and involves more that "me, me, me".

The law allow conscientious objection in doctors (for now), but also will justify death angels manipulating vulnerable people. We shouldn't forget that unbearable pain can be easily created with the appropriate medicines. People can be drugged and turn into addict puppets also. Has happened before. Even recently in US.

And that will taint the statistics also, removing a safety guarantee for everybody. Before the law, a warn was triggered when more than average people died in part of an hospital. After that, the hospital with an interest in lowering this value has a way to do it (falsifying consent). Protecting their public image, but also hiding any rotten apple present in their staff. Bad news for everybody.

If there is something that vulnerable elder don't need now is a new exception to kill them legally.

When I think of imperialism I often see the exact opposite. A more advanced society is (often violently) forcing modern customs upon the invaded population and when the imperialists leave a lot of those modern customs get lost and the country turns into a backwater again. The imperialists might be evil, but they clearly knew what they were doing.

Hi, another Gardener here. Garden Core should indeed be enough to get started. I'm trying to keep this as factual and non-pitchy as possible for the sake of providing context—the enterprise product gets you:

• RBAC and secrets management (also makes it possible to control which users have access to which types of environments)

• Direct integration with GitHub or GitLab, so you could trigger something to happen in Garden based on a VCS event

• Automated environment cleanup (coming soon)

• Support and all that
> Can you define consciousness without invoking subjective conscious experience? You agree there is not evidence of objective existence and yet you say it objectively exists because you subjectively feel it does. Is this not self-contradictory?

No, I'm saying it need not be objectively measurable to be real. This is what I mean by empiricism being an incomplete philosophy.
So Saudi Arabia, UAE, Canada and Saudi Arabia are 'stuck' selling natural resources?

I think it's probably a much better plant to extract a good deal of wealth from the natural resource and invest it in other areas of higher value creation, even in the same vertical.

There's a good chance that Ghana's policies are needlessly constrained.

More obviously there are 100 things Ghana could do to improve living conditions in more obvious areas i.e. corruption etc..

Consider the immediate situation:

Ghana's exporters have just been banned from exporting. They are going to go out of business very soon.

Ghana doesn't have all of the layers of industry necessary to support development and export of products i.e. there are no market buyers at any reasonable price.

Result: collapse of the industry - unless somehow the Government of Ghana can artificially inflate prices and keep them alive for a very long time while domestic partners somehow magically are able to get off their feet.

This plan feels not very well conceived.

I'll bet something is lurking under the surface.
No one has a say in whether they want life in the first place. It seems perfectly imaginable that some may be unhappy with having it forced onto them, but endure it because the alternative is a taboo.
I read the article. Want to bet?
Sorry, "butcoin" was a typo...
Perhaps rather than inadvertently sending a message, it acknowledges the reality that some life isn’t worth living.

I’ve seen the agony it puts on family members when someone makes the (in their mind) rash decision to kill themself. We should work to prevent these rash decision type suicides, but many are carefully and methodically considered and if someone genuinely wishes to exit this place, why should society prevent them from having a chance to communicate that openly, to choose the time, and not leave a giant mess of brain matter that someone else has to clean up?

We allow our dogs to have a better end of life experience (and I’m not suggesting that we’d make the decision in humans quite as early as we do for our beloved pets, though if we could communicate verbally with them, perhaps we should).
> Could you please point out where the parent claims to be a Democrat? I don't see it anywhere in what they've said, or in the past few days of their comment history.

Yes, reread their comment, apply context, it should be apparent.

> I'm not sure about "most", but it's certainly a significant fraction; presumably caused by Trump's refusal to admit defeat.

Why do you think Trump has anything to do with it? He doesn't. Really people couldn't care less about Trump. The system is flawed regardless.

> This mistake is troubling, since it admits a circular argument: Democrats aren't believed, and those who aren't believed are Democrats. Like all circular arguments, this is self-consistent whilst being completely detached from reality (the content of any claims, evidence, etc. are irrelevant; that self-justifying loop will work for anything).

Hmmm, yup we have a divide in this country, mostly caused by dems refusal to accept and admit the right are people with opinions, ideas and feelings as well. Right doesn't believe left, left doesn't believe right. So, divide we have!
>When other people say someone can’t do something because of their skin color, that is racism.

Still a terrible definition, someone telling me my previous example doesn't turn it racist either.

>The idea that whites are more racist than other races is also racist

The idea that whites have used racism as an excuse to exploit people over the past few hundred years is a fact. Nobody would care about who has more innate feelings of racial superior that they didn't act on.
> Hardly anyone was writing embedded C++ in the 90s.

I wasn't talking about embedded in that section, but about applications, and not just desktop.

> Once more languages came about, people found ones they preferred over C++

High-level languages were used a lot before, like VB and other RAD languages. But the belief was that they'd be too slow for many applications, like servers.

> As to your last comment, I’m guessing you haven’t worked in the embedded space with C++ if that is your conclusion

That is correct, and yet the lower the hardware capabilities and the higher the required safety, you see more C and less C++.
Your knowledge is outdated, see the other responses.

As someone who moved to Germany, I feel like I understand this better now. Many people here a real stickler for rules even when they make absolutely no sense at all. Many seem to actually care whether a law was broken before they care to consider whether the thing itself is good regardless of legal status. Avoiding the feeling of legal guilt is probably a thing here more than I thought it could be.
First let me say I too support basic income, so to some degree we are in agreement. What I am really disturbed by is by the resentment I read into your argument. Productive people aren't imposing anything, in fact they are the reason why we can even contemplate something as insane as basic income. All the marvels of the last 100 years are because of productive people and all of us should be immensely grateful to the titans who made it happen. You write about fairness, but there is nothing fair about taking things from people who produce them and giving them, for free, to people who do not. There is compassion, sure, and perhaps in the long run, as most people's economic value trends to 0, we will have no choice, but describing communism as basic fairness is deeply intellectually dishonest.
I disagree with your logic: the fact that there are (even possibly a majority!) of cases when not wanting to live as long as possible is the result of a pathology, it doesn't negate that there are perfectly sane people who do not want to prolongue their life. Just one such case is enough to make their statement accurate - I don't think he generalised those willing to die, but those unwilling to accept that as their choice. Based exclusively on my experience, that is a valid generalisation.

And yes, plenty of people have setup advanced directives, DnR's, and other such instructions while fully on their capacities, and that doesn't require them being in a pathological or even emotional state. It can easily be caused by having a standard of quality of life they intend to maintain.
>If you think you're not being paid enough, increase the price along with creating your own products.

That seems to be what happened with Mars and Hershey (i.e. a price increase) though put in the terms of not paying farmers enough and trade war. It's unclear to me whether Mars and Hershey are now getting less cocoa than they did because cocoa is being diverted to domestic production, or the same amount and paying more.
> Losing 2/3 of the population over 500 years is the blink of an eye in historical terms.

How so? It's way slower than the population has grown in the past few centuries.

> The issues is the speed but also the 'leveling out' threshold, i.e. if it drives downward, what's to say that won't stop.

What's to say growing populations won't lead to the extinction of humanity? We can't write off that possibility just like we can't write of yours. It's all just speculation.

> Finally, we have 'many cultures' on this planet, and most will go extinct at that rate, and we really don't know what an ideal situation would be for population on Planet Earth.

Cultures seem to mainly go extinct by assimilation by others. This has largely been driven by growing populations. If anything, I think a drop in population would preserve cultures.

> Remember we want to build in some petty heavy safety factors into the numbers as risk mitigation.

I have no idea what you mean by this.

> We literally just took hold of the reproductive process over the last few decades - this is a very big deal, like getting fire from Prometheus, and the first thing we've done with it is put ourselves on a hard downward slope. That's scary unless we know where that equilibrium will land.

What does it matter if there are only 100 million people? And even that would require extreme sustained drops in population for as long as human civilization.

The current trend is such a blip on the radar that I see no reason to worry. And even if the trend holds so what? Why do we need to have so many people?
