I am from Brazil... To be honest this would be a complete disaster here.

1. My city main hospital, belongs to Catholic Church, same applies to many other cities.

2. Many of our leading universities, doing research and important work, belong to Catholic Church, notably PUC-RIO, the creators of Lua language.

3. Protestant churches here are the major organizations driving away drug dealers, some took the donations to build better light system in public parks, provide free food, counseling, and so on.

4. We have an hospital considered one of the best of world for certain treatments, to the point people from first world countries sometimes come here for this hospital, and it belongs to a Jewish organization.

And the list goes and goes on... a lot of public infrastructure here belongs to religious organizations, if the government taxed them the result would be the government suddenly needing to spend a ton of their own money replacing what these organizations are doing, and I doubt it would work well, for example the government-owned hospital in my city killed people more than once for stupid reasons (including giving penicilin to a guy that warned them he was allergic!), so the population rely on the catholic hospital instead.

EDIT: reading a sibling comment made me remember another important one: the religious organizations here are major drivers for cultural education, for example our public-owned orchestras are often filled with church-trained people, ditto for audio engineering, theather and many other "art"-related professions.
To be fair, I was responding in the context of "traditional" American news outlets failing to actually provide what you're defining as "News/Journalism".

I agree with your definitions. But if I'm choosing between Editorial "news" from WaPo/NYT vs. someone independently covering the same events on their Substack, I'd be more interested in the individual on Substack if I trust them from previous experience as an intelligent, informed, good-faith writer.

WaPo/NYT I don't know the individual writers very well, and I don't really have much faith in the intentions of the editorial board...
I suspect one factor in the declining membership is shared with other mid-century social groups that have also dwindled (e.g., men's lodges): it's easier to find community elsewhere.

For my parents -- born in 1940 -- church and men's service clubs/lodges were the primary areas of social interaction outside work. Dad ran his own veterinary practice, so his social interaction there was limited (I mean, everybody worked for him). Mom stayed at home until the late 70s. Church was the center of their social life.

Now, nobody wanted to say that out loud; it was all about the faith. But that's what it was.

In my life I've had no need for that, because people of my generation (b 1970) have generally found other communities of support/friendship/connection. None of my friends are Masons, either.
The ship's operators blamed a sandstorm and high winds.
I agree with your point. I never saw a problem with dependencies until I worked on a system where security and reliability were very high priorities. Apparently, on a system like that you only use the official language libraries, a very very minimal set of auxiliary libraries (e.g. Google's Guava), and everything else you code up yourself, because you can't include anything your team can't audit. You could audit a third-party library, but extracting or writing just the parts you need and then auditing that is always less work. That way you're sort of in a world without a wider eco-system.
So many of the comments here are affirming what I have long observed: much anti-religious sentiment (“much”, not “all”!) is actually a reaction to fundamentalism, which is the bad theology of scriptural literalism, which brings heresies like hating LGBT, insisting the Bible is also a science textbook, superstitious views of certain Middle Eastern lands, and more.

Growing up as a mainline Protestant, I thankfully didn’t have much of this to react against in my own churches. But we saw the bad fundamentalist theology in Southern Baptist or too many independent churches (those two mentioned because they were dominant where I grew up). I can appreciate the difference.

I’m still happily a mainline Protestant. I’m not instructed to hate anyone, I’m not told to vote a particular way. I’m not going to church to check in my brain to a charlatan who saves me from an angry (false) god. I’m going to be better and to grow my relationship with God.
> Many home computers of the same era came with user manuals which contained chapters on programming

I know – my point was that even for its time, compared with its contemporary books, the chapters on programming was – and is – surprisingly good.
Curious, why should a private company be forced to post op-eds from viewpoints that their editorial board has decided are against their editorial guidelines?

What other things should the government force a private company or that matter a citizen to say or not say?

Why do fruits have such dramatically different seasons?

It makes sense to me that some fruits only fruit in summer when there is enough energy, and some that require less energy fruit all year round (e.g. apples).

But why does citrus only fruit in the winter? Maybe it exploiting the fact that there aren’t any other fruits at that time, so hungry cold animals will eat them at a greater rate than if they were competing with all the other summer fruits?
> And truly it already has.

I don't think you're arguing that it's the same motivation as the French revolution, so it would help to elucidate your point if you said what you think that new thing is. It would also help to explain how you think that enforced philosophical adherence by all of western society applies as there are still 47% of Americans who DO belong to a religious institution.
If you mean material for a political campaign for a national Honduran party, I don't think so. They've been involved in charter city stuff basically since Romer posited the idea years and years ago.

On basically all the other points I agree, I really wish they were solving for residency/passports which are a nontrivial component of choosing where to live (especially for a long time). I pinged them about residency and citizenship options for people in Prospera some days ago and the answer was essentially that they're looking into it. Other countries have citizenship by investment programs (which I know have some ethical implications but at least provide clarity on legal pathways to becoming enfranchised in domestic politics).
Without getting into why that is absolutely unlikely to be efficacious: The time for something like this would have been when Reddit joined YC... not now.

The most "solid" theology is just shaky philosophy, though.
What I learned about myself working as a NodeJS developer:

I’m okay writing JavaScript as long as I don’t have to spend all day every day writing it.
With WebAssembly, now you don’t have to. You do need a JS shim to load the WebAssembly, but after that, pick your favorite source language that can target wasm.

Glyphosate it certainly not benign, but it is a lot safer than most of the alternative chemicals used in agriculture. It's also more environmentally friendly than the main organic alternative, tillage.

The side effects of this ban will be worse than the benefits.
I’d like to see a comparison between synagogue membership over time.

My wife and I are not actively religious but think it’s definitely a great framework and moral code. Particularly, it creates a community one can choose to leave or join of good people, working together for the common good of each other.

I grew up Lutheran and don’t necessarily believe in god, but I believe in the value code. Which is really what’s important. I think that’s what’s lacking these days, tbh.
I might take my kids there. Then again I also took them to see Santa.

Unfunny quip aside, it is a social gathering and it is undeniably positive for the community.
It will be the ultimate irony if, 20 years down the line, Deno is still around, but solely as a de facto standard / cross-platform WebAssembly execution engine.
I'm not 100% sure who and what you're referring to (having followed only my own church of late), but it's worth vaguely agreeing with the sentiment that successful religious establishments have some meaning — and moreover, a meaning that's materially different than what the secular world around them has to offer. If they're just an extension of whatever is popular these days, people will simply cut out the middleman.
Yup, AFAICS GitHub associates secondary addresses with your account without verification.

Although the victim would be notified that their address was added to a rogue account, the notification mail says: "If this wasn’t you, please ignore this email." Ugh.

do you really want to keep util.promisifying everything? I know I don't.

Streams (and event emitters, and the ecosystem bits that rely on them) still haven't fully caught up with promises either, e.g. async iterators and generators are still quite awkward
> But the fact that admission to this community required total philosophical adherence is just bizarre.

My grandpa's best friend was a catholic priest. I remember him saying that you really don't need to go to the church if you don't want to, but, if you did good deeds selflessly, always tried to make things right (in the sense of least global damage possible) and to avoid wronging others, you'd be a good enough catolic to pass any reasonable judgement day test.

Which is something I would suspect my idealized Jesus would stand behind.

The only time I saw him actually working as a priest, was when my grandpa died and he delivered his eulogy.
I get this, but wouldn’t the flip side be the brightness and relief that hypocrisy is being culled through this? Just a thought — but if you stop acting in a way (attending church) that doesn’t jive with what you believe, that seems to be revealing truth (something which all ca rejoice over, even if it’s a tough truth).

On the other hand — if it is people that are losing their faith, that is perhaps different, and I can see your concern.
There are some complications, for example some huge Cruise ships have so much manoeuvrability that they could transit in reverse without breaking a sweat. Similarly large military ships with powerful rudders and multiple engines. Even if the size is the same the manoeuvrability is not even close.
There's probably an appreciable percentage (I have no source for this) of people who leave organized religion because of the gaudiness of megachurches and grand gilded cathedrals. Materialism is not unique to the modern era or secularism.
Looks janky (the whole thing is shaking a lot every time it moves, especially the sensors). If it's cheap, it's good.
I don't know. How can you gauge the effectiveness of your model without good data? A model can be wrong, but it can also be changed/redone/rebuilt. Without data you can neither develop nor verify imho.
I enjoyed my pretty low key episcopal church upbringing. There was very little dogmatism, and mostly it created a framework for community activities and service. Many of my friends in youth group were agnostic or atheist. And the church felt welcoming to everyone.

I wish something could replace this in my life. Something that felt softly mandatory that brought people together in a spirit of togetherness and service.
What is the point of this work? Other than that it is cool.
It's not "a smart strategy" to apologize when someone points out you've done something wrong.

Well fortunately RMS collates all of his posts here: https://www.stallman.org/archives/2019-jul-oct.html#14_Septe... , so a start would be... actually apologizing for what he said about Marvin Minsky.
This is a pretty good synopsis of the situation as of Sunday

Then for someone in your position it'd be a day and a half of post-tax salary (for the first year), which doesn't sound like a lot either.
There's a big difference between "interpreted" and "JIT compiled". Both of these end up JIT compiled in most cases
This is fascinating. It actually reads very much like the type of story a verbally-advanced third or fourth grader could come up with — a broad understanding of how to move the story along (escalating stakes represented by increasing percentage values), unexplained and unresolved side plots (what is the deal with the stranger and his card?), and some tantalizing flashes of what appears to be true creativity (the protagonist’s fate).

I had no idea this was the state of the art. I’m blown away.
Roman Catholic... in the UK? That makes up a very small number of churches...
Most packages don’t have 3 million weekly downloads, though. Surely Microsoft has the resources to review at least some of the most popular ones.
You're saying some functionality not being part of Node's std lib is "a great example" of the whole of Node being flawed.

You must have a lot more "great examples" up your sleeve!
It varies a lot. I can drink a pot of strong coffee before going to bed. I do this regularly, never any problem sleeping.
This probably either sounds nuts or over opinionated but I don't think the NPM ecosystem is as valuable as people think it is... stuff is deprecated continuously anyway - when you find a way to move away from 10k dependencies (because your shortsighted previous self decided to depend on a single package without looking closer), it's a damn relief. I hate how needlessly complicated the NPM ecosystem is, I would actually like it if no one built bridges to Deno, it could be a clean start with lessons learned.

Most of the packages on NPM are complete garbage - most not all - (and I say this as a full time JS dev who actually likes JS), liking the technology does not have to mean liking what people do with it, and JS is the worst, both in terms of the crap on NPM and the web.

They blamed a sandstorm, but the Taiwanese operator blamed the Japanese owner for it. And the Japanese operator agrees. Basically, we're not getting the real answer to this question. Also, the following:

> However, the chairman of Egypt's Suez Canal Authority said Saturday, without giving details, that weather conditions "were not the main reasons" for the grounding, and that "there may have been technical or human reasons," the BBC reported. An investigation is ongoing.
It looks very nice. I like that it has the option to start without sound as well.
A person who struggles with gendered pronouns because their native language doesn't have them would struggle with them when talking about cis people too.
The absolute bias and lack of any self awareness present in your statements here is fascinating.

There really is only the One Way for you, isn’t there?

Call me brave, but I would counter that there may, in fact, be at least one other way to interpret ideas like “strong”, “freedom”, and “vibrant”.
You have a point there, but if you have a very well vetted third-party library that provides things as basic as IP address parsing, you'll probably see that library included into the official library package.
“C and E C of E” is a well known trope. (read: christmas and easter church of england)
They are trying means it will be even worse than before.
Pros and cons. Everything has them.

I think the really big issue with all these package management solutions is how deep the dependency requirements go. One package depends on another package that depends on 18 other packages, that depend on 30 other packages, and it's packages all the way down.

No one is going to review all of those packages regularly. It's just not going to happen. Sure, it's less a problem for the big popular packages, but those big popular packages still depend on a lot of smaller packages and those smaller packages are extremely vulnerable due to sheer lack of eyes on it.

Everyone always says "I won't use software that isn't open source because the code is in the open and vulnerabilities can be found" but the fact of the matter is someone has to be reviewing that code to find them. I'd love to better understand how many people are out there reviewing code as part of their process. I'll be it's a lot less than anyone would like.
America collectively has a pretty short attention span.
Living in Massachusetts, what I've found is that the UU still requires a strict adherence to very left-leaning politics.

The dogma shifted from a religious dogma to a political one.

For example: https://barnstableuu.org/about/history.html

> In the early 19th century there was considerable theological debate in the “churches of the standing order” in New England. Many churches actually split over this debate, the traditionalists becoming Congregationalists and the liberals becoming Unitarians.
As one who loves the Catholic faith, despite the failings of its members, and who yet also fails to live it well -- I agree with you that hypocrisy is a massive problem.

The group Jesus is harshest with in the Gospels is in fact the hypocrites. He even calls them white washed tombs full of dead men's bones! What a lamentable state of things.

G.K. Chesterton's words in "What's Wrong with the World" come to mind where he points out "The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried."
Perhaps this applies to all major belief systems though, and not Christianity alone.
"ISIS" is an unfortunate name for a Protocol.
I tend to agree with you. I think on the whole moving to more city states and fewer monoliths probably suits the way humans operate both as individuals and communities more. I also think we're probably at a point now where doing so won't lead to small scale wars city states experienced in the past, or at least far less frequently.

Even assuming that an experiment is done for, say, twenty years, I don't know how accurately we can forecast longer- term changes (over a scale of centuries) from this move. Heck, making these forecasts without the sun being blocked out is hard enough.
So far, it's a program to study it, not to do it. Unilateral action to learn stuff is fine.

Nobody wants to block the sun. But ecological, climate, and humanitarian disaster are inexorably headed our way already. If positive feedbacks seriously kick in, this has a chance of buying us some time until we can reduce carbon levels.

Besides, we've already seen this employed, by volcanoes, with global effects lasting one to two years. Disaster did not ensue.

edit: a word
I had an insufferable coworker who doubled down on that attitude. If he hadn't thought of something, instead of just saying he could have done it, he'd start rambling about why it was a bad idea, and that he was smart for choosing not to do it. His whole attitude was "I know everything, and if I don't know it, it's because it's not worth knowing". Worst part was the non-technical management ate it up because he was so confidently wrong, so people got dragged into working on his convuluted solutions that just happened to always match up with his skillset.
Terraforming antarctica would be easier. Mars is a pipe dream.
Other than my Grandma who is in her 90's and one friend who joined a church later in life (his family are atheist) I don't know anyone in the UK who goes to church. At least among my friends its just not a thing. I find it bizarre how many people in America attend church, but I hold nothing against them for it.
What are the questions that church leaders are getting from their flock these days? Some big questions are being debated in society, sure, but the church's position on a lot of things is set in stone, is it not?

Maybe this is my ignorance talking, but I thought those with active church membership continue to go to participate in social events and make friends/partners?
If it turns out to be human error related, how much liability falls on the actual ship's captain versus the required canal pilot?

I see no issues with Christianity from a philosophical standpoint. It explains things which our beyond our natural/physical world. Those things impact how we live in this world. I'm curious what you mean in your statement, please unpack your claim.
> would be like believing in original sin for squirrel

What, no! :-)

It's instead taxes, and free university education, and free health care for everyone.

And reaching out to historically unfairly treated groups, and inspiring (some of) them to start their own companies or become politicians.

And things like the first exchanges in job applications being without photos and real names

But not blaming "everyone" living today, for what some people in the past generations did
At least the abortion thing makes sense: Catholics believe that the soul enters the body at the moment of conception, so abortion is effectively murder. It would be odd for the church to not openly oppose it.
Read up on borderline personality disorder. This vicious cycle sounds like a hallmark of BPD -- excitement/interesting -> boredom -> Emptiness -> depression/hell.
And because web app publishers have full control. If I have a web application, I can update it right now and it will be updated for ALL my users at the same time. No store policies bullshit, no need to somehow notify users that a new version has to be downloaded and installed, no fragmentation of your user base because half of your customers stay at an old version due to whatever reasons out of your reach.
I would take the approach that there is a spectrum of knowledge and hire the quote "T" shaped individual. Strong in at least one area, but broad enough to contribute anywhere.

People change faster than orgs/titles, it would be better to keep this part flexible to maximize their growth. This can be further extended to the whole engineering culture.

It's not uncommon that a frontend engineer shares a title with a backend software engineer - these skills are different enough that the individuals are no longer fungible for the most part. Why not give DS's engineering titles and treat it as a management objective to ensure you have the right people on any given project?

If scientist is the preferred title, why not give anyone the science title?
Maybe part of the problem with what we see in software is caused by people not caring enough which programming language is used.

It's also the official doctrine of Catholic Church since Vatican II...

Thing is, application of it by clergy is not exactly universal :(
I also come from the south of the mediteranean (probably more south than you :) ) and I couldn't care less :)

Google would never let YouTube use PHP. I guess it did originally though.
My hope is that with a larger standard library there is more shared ownership of the library at large.

With many small libraries there often is a single person working on it and others assuming "oh, somebody will have reviewed it"

This can happen with a big library as well (as individual maintainers "own" specific parts) but there it is easier to establish a review culture.

(Whether a review would have caught this specific case is yet another question, but again having an organisation could guarantee a timely response, is read if depending on a single contributor)
