The antivax movement is ridiculous and hopefully the necessity of covid vaccinations will destroy it as should have happened years ago.

Similarly, the evidence for climate change is pretty much undeniable now and I can only assume that those pretending it doesn't exist are not honest actors.

But the lockdown scepticism I can kind of understand as it is more of a political issue - the cost/benefit of lockdown and depending on the type of lockdown, if it will even be effective.

It seems the usual rational decisions over medical intervention based on quality-adjusted life years etc. has been abandoned in favour of emotional arguments.

China showed us lockdowns can work, but these "lockdowns" we have now just seem to be political theatre with little effect on transmission. The politicians want to give the impression of doing something because actually effective measures like closing workplaces and schools would be too expensive/difficult.
You can't be 'pro' objective truths; science is not a faith you can believe in or not. That's the problem here. It's the defenders of science that are also in the wrong, because why do you feel like you have to defend things like that?
The go statement could return a handle to the go routine. There can be a cancel magic function that cancels the go routine. You can regain the task local storage by using this handle as a key into a map of task data. This would have been a breaking change particularly in CGo threads but it’s a vastly simpler model for the user.

My main concern would be about reusability. Current battery tech is quite limited with respect to how many charging cycles it supports.
So do we need to throw away a bike with structural battery pack then in future, once the charging cycles have expired or someone forgot to regularly keep the battery charged?
It's definitely not true that all men's lodges/clubs were religious in nature. The big three service clubs (in the US, at least) are Rotary, Kiwanis, and Lions, and none of them have ever been religious in nature. (Though certain in the eras and areas where they had the biggest membership, the populations would be overwhelmingly American protestants -- but that's demographics, not organizational affiliation.)

Freemasonry may or may not be "religious" depending on your definitions, but has traditionally been a target of some faiths due to perceived conflict between the club and the church.
I think the biggest missing piece right now are the big libraries: Webpack, Babel, Next.js, ESLint (maybe this will no be needed with `deno lint`), NestJS. Stuff like that. I'd think it's hard right now to spin up a project that you would've usually used these frameworks for without writing a lot of infrastructure code yourself.
This conflates "official positions of authorities" with "science".

It's like a modern religion, with three tenets: (1) science made everything around us (iPhones and airplanes!) (2) we speak for science (3) therefore you must believe our conclusions.

But in fact, that's the opposite of a proper scientific attitude, which always admits doubt, and believes experiment over authority.

As for why authorities are increasingly losing trust, I think it's because they've been rather unreliable recently.

To use just one glaring example, the official advice on masks went overnight from, "they're useless!" to "you're killing people if you don't use them!".

Both positions were condescendingly presented as "the science". A lot of people will start to lose trust when you so glaringly contradict yourself in such a rapid amount of time.

In general, the approach seems to be when crafting public advice to not worry about presenting an accurate picture of our current knowledge, but just pick a position, pretend we are certain it is true, and hand it down as the infallible words of Science. (See also: our ever changing dietary recommendations.)

FlatBuffers creates its own demented and completely incompatible data structures when deserializing into C++. Which means you then need to copy the FlatBuffers structures into normal ones, defeating the entire point of "zero-copy" in the first place.

This thing it looks like uses normal C++ structures under the hood, and if so that's a huge plus.
It makes Taiwan less strategic in time. It makes Taiwan more strategic now, because the US is still dependent on TSMC.

If China has hostile intent it also increases the risk of Chinese action, because - dependent on stockpiles and security - Taiwan is a resource choke point which could potentially decapitate the entire US military machine.

This is a terrible situation for the US to be in.

As the US replaces that capability on its home turf Taiwan's strategic value wanes, which paradoxically makes an attack less likely because China can get what it wants from Taiwan by conventional economic and political means.

The question is... how lucky/aggressive does China feel? And how just-in-time is the US military supply chain?
When science is weaponized by politicians and when the media is lying about everything intentionally, and being concentrated by very few conglomerates, it isn't anti-science as much as it is anti-media. Just because the media screams "science" doesn't make them the voice of science.
This basically kills BitPay who recently made all transactions (of any value) in crypto require KYC registration.
Actually, what it works with is a partially sorted input: an input in some tree-order input, which is what any recursive file system traversal will always put out. It will work with depth first or breadth-first order, with usefully different results, and that order preserved.

All it is doing is hiding the redundancy with spaces to improve the human readability of find's output.

Here it is on the same data in breadth-first. Note the lack of any lexicographic sort: "interfaces" is flanked by "if-down.d" and "if-pre-up.d":

/etc/network
/if-post-down.d
/if-down.d
/interfaces.d

My first program in TXR Lisp in the grandparent comment builds the tree structure from the paths in any order and then prints that, so the paths could be scrambled into random order, yet it will recover the tree structure.

However, not munging the the output in that way and just tweaking the original output for readability has some advantages
This tool is designed for interactive use (with an audience).

It offers a split-pane view where you can see what you are typing and the displayed version at the same time. That is an improvement for working with an audience.

At first I thought there was no local save. The `,help` docs are quick - use `,save`.

Perhaps someone can propose a substitute, but just saying "it's like a Visual Studio Code extension" does not seem accurate.

I tried it a bit, the ergonomics are not bad. I certainly did not have the experience of the other posters saying that most of the time was spent in some error mode "waiting for the subscript to complete". The ability to define your own "comma macros" would be cool.

I don't trust children to make decisions about irreversibly altering their own bodies.

There's a very real chance that this could be viewed by a future generation like 1920s "Progressives" that thought they were agents of goodness and social progress, equipped with science.

This whole unqualified pro-trans push could be hubristic people who're unwittingly "medically fixing" queer kids with internalized concepts and phobias from their social culture.
Man Built a $188M Fortune Investing in Stocks Then Donated It to Charity
This...

When the same workman returns to work on the following day, instead of using every effort to turn out the largest possible amount of work, in a majority of the cases this man deliberately plans to do as little as he safely can—to turn out far less work than he is well able to do—in many instances to do not more than one-third to one-half of a proper day’s work. And, in fact, if he were to do his best to turn out his largest possible day’s work, he would be abused by his fellow workers for so doing, even more than if he had proved himself a “quitter” in sport.

...is where Taylor makes his pitch to his clients.

Strange historical fact: V.I. Lenin at first criticized Taylorism as an example the cruelty of capitalism. Later, he thought the Soviets needed Taylorism because Russians were such shite workers. Soviet economic planners were enthusiasts for all kinds of "scientific" management systems.

People really struggle to cope with structural vs individual issues.

TBH, I'd expect programmers to be slightly better at understanding situations where each side of a communication is doing things that it things are correct - or necessarily defensive - while the other side thinks they are wrong. Architectural issues, where there is no specific wrong line of code to point to.
Quite the opposite. We proved that the imposition of “acceptable” information and censorship to protect it holds back societies, and can see that those with greater freedoms do better economically and otherwise.
As opposed to software breakpoints which change your compiled binary at runtime in order to debug it. Even if you're using hardware breakpoints you're still changing what the CPU is doing and can easily make multi-threading bugs disappear.
> Yeah, there's kooks on the left who go for healing crystals–but that's not incorporated into left politics.

Mhh, critical race theory, the whole gender studies joke etc seems to be pretty deeply settled in left politics. It's just something that progressives "like" and therefore don't question the absurdity and consider it "science".
there's a fine line between appealing to "experts" and religion. I'd argue though, that there's a monetary incentive to keep people dumb and susceptible to things like advertising - so I don't see this trend reversing soon, if ever.

I intentionally don't mention the word "science", because "science" isn't really the issue here - moreso this idea that certain organizations or individuals somehow know the truth we and should just believe them.

We have all learned that science as a method of obtaining knowledge is superior to and fundamentally at odds with the blind acceptance of authority. This includes would-be authorities among us.
When the authorities then simply claim the mantle of "science" as their own exclusive domain, who is left to oppose them?

Except governments actively pushed lies about Covid too.
Articles like this one accelerate the politicization of conspiracies like anti-vax, rather than help address the underlying problem.

To attempt to make this a 'right wing extremist' problem, one has to ignore the fact that one of the historically least vaccinated counties in the US is also one of the most progressive (Marin CO in the Bay Area).

This is a 'nut jobs on Facebook' problem, not a right or left problem.

It's wild that you managed push the project as far as you did! My main use case for browsers on classic is to download apps on Macintosh Garden and Macintosh Repository, so hopefully they never enforce TLS or require JS.

Tax ads. Put the money into important stuff.

People shouldn't be faulted for taking a high paying job if that is where the opportunities are for them. But we do have a system which is generating outcomes most people aren't happy with. So the rules should change. Maybe just a little at a time.

Our choices aren't only "Ban ads" or "Keep doing advertising the way we are doing it now". This isn't an A/B test. A small tax on advertising would be a good place to start.

It does work in the new Edge and Chrome. Doesn't load at all in IE, but I take that as a good thing.
In my experience, toddlers do not have a need for discoverability of everyday things, as they don't seem to figure objects out on their own, beyond trying to push, pull, bite or throw them - but they do pay close attention to what others do with various objects and try to replicate the behavior.

So, for instance, my daughter figured out twisting and untwisting of bottle caps in a manner of days, and it was a clear progression from observing us handling various bottles, trying it on the same bottles she saw us use, and then picking up on some pattern (round shape? grooves?) and trying to unscrew new things - but only ones that fit the pattern.

Or the other day she escaped into the kitchen while my wife was unloading the dishwasher, silently grabbed a fruit peeler and an apple, approached my wife and tried to peel the apple herself. We've maybe ever used the peeler once in our daughter's presence, but that was enough for her to both associate the two objects and remember how one is operated on the other. I'm not sure if this was goal-oriented behavior (i.e. whether she wanted to eat an apple) or just "look at me, I'm doing the same as you".
> Then you are either using a bad debugger, or you're not using one properly.

You are certainly right, as I barely ever use a debugger and it is always an annoying experience. Can you suggest such good debuggers for C, Julia and Python?

Sounds like these "sessions and configurations" are important, and thus they should be formally part of the program, committed to its public repository for all to see and use. I call these things "tests" and write them using the same language as the rest of the program, and run them frequently to be sure that they don't get out of sync with the program itself.

Anti-vax took a weird twist over the past decade. It used to be a hippie-liberal notion, heavily informed by being anti-corporate anti-big-pharma. But it became more mainstream and cross-party when endorsed by celebrities, and then cross-fertilized with the anti-science anti-government Republican party.

I'm sure the crunchy-granola antivaxers are still out there, but they were a fringe group and remain a fringe group. But for the GOP it's mainstream.

COVID's a little different from general anti-vax, being driven by a hoax narrative from the President combined with the perception of rushing a vaccine through (with the intention of having it be an October surprise for the election). That makes everybody nervous, on all sides of the spectrum.

Eight Steps to Cross the Chasm
Eh, the political left is just as guilty of abusing "science" for its own agenda. If you look at what peer reviewed articles in medical journals say about COVID, and then you look at the "pro-science" left-leaning-media coverage - you'll see two entirely different things. The political left picks and chooses the findings it likes to fit the narrative, and exaggerates them for effect.

In the United States, if you live in a democrat controlled area the only way your kids were going to school in-person during COVID was private education. We had a wealth of data by September of last year showing that it was possible, and worth the risk, to open schools for younger children. And yet it was politics that kept our children out of school, under the guise of "science".

The same is true of masks. The outcomes in places with and without mask mandates are roughly similar in terms of spread and mortality. But god forbid you suggest that wearing a mask while working out is counterproductive at best.

The whole talking point bugs me. There's no such thing as "science says". On most topics you'll find a wealth of "science" that is contradictory. It's through assimilation and reconciliation of various conflicts through further experimentation that we arrive at "the truth."

Calling an entire group "Anti-science" is just another way to shut down conversation and dialog. Just like calling an entire group lazy, racist, criminals, etc.

I think you are spot on. I also think much of the "anti-science" right is a reaction to the "anti-science" left, which has lots of ideologies that cannot be defended by pure reason alone, and need to be defended instead by online angry mobs. Whether it's to do with social issues (crime, racial issues, gender issues, abortion, immigration, etc), pop ideas today are defended by a "how dare you" if you are not in the movement. Note also how they leave no room for moderates: Someone with balanced views on abortion, for example, is as bad as a catholic fundamentalist. Someone with mixed views on immigration is a neo nazi. Etc

I'm also reminded of the near daily episodes on reddit, which constantly has threads highlighting outrage over police brutality, criminal injustice, etc. Then, when it's someone they don't like getting crushed by the system, it's a party of joyous triumphalism.

It's not hate. I don't want to pay 22$ for a 1$ product with bitcoin, when it gets popular.

I'm also not going to put my money in a joke coin like dogecoin.

I like the blockchain, but crypto is just an implementation of it and without a use-case currently ( blockchain has multiple use-cases though).

Instead of trying to go on the emotional side with "hate-train"?

Ps. I owned crypto until 2017 and then sold it then, because i didn't see a valid use-case ( and 20 k was high enough for me)

now, I should also say that if your company builds libraries that actually implement these algorithms in a better, stronger, faster way, then of course by all means ask away. And, I also get that understanding what I linked list, hash map, trie, graph, etc.. is an important signal for interviewers that you've got some computer 'science' background. However, more relevant question might be why they might be used.. or the algorithmic complexity of one over the other (since in practice we're just going to use a collection library anyway). I might argue that another (equally irrelevant) signal that you've studied computer science would be ask what the integral of 1/x is.
A good manager, especially if they can recognize weakness in the existing code base, will let you refactor things. I've quit a job before when I wasn't allowed to rewrite code which actually wasn't even functional.

I've been extremely fortunate and that most of my recent managers have been okay with me either completely rewriting the code base, or implementing my own practices. I have no qualms about leaving a job where I'm not able to do my best work.
