It would help if people critical of the distribution of child porn would make rational arguments without displaying obvious anger but this is a topic that somehow brings out the hate in people. You're just revealing that you don't have the ability to objectively consider what you're talking about and your opinion is worth no more than a Christian's negative opinion of blasphemy. Are you OK with people using God's name in vain? Seriously? The same God that gave you life? See how silly that argument is.
That can't be true. For any mildly complex application I install it asks for "xcode-select --install". I'm using an intel Mac on 10.14.6, so it is pretty standard. I just reinstalled the software under a year ago and redownloaded macports from the website and installed it. It seems to require a local compiler to be installed for most applications, such as gcc or llvm. For instance, why wouldn't installing ffmpeg just download the ffmpeg binary instead of the all the compiler dependencies?

> sh ~ % sudo port install ffmpeg

---> Computing dependencies for ffmpeg

The following dependencies will be installed:

Xft2

XviD

aom

autoconf

automake

brotli

cairo

cargo

cargo-bootstrap

cargo-c

cctools

cmake

Docker Registry Having Issues
By itself it is wrong. Public domain is still a license. License let you do anything is a must as copyright is granted auto. You need to license. If the public domain does not license, there is no public domain (except those fall into it after certain number of years).

You may sense why the need of effort by SQLite to confirm its public domain status and left other not compiled in.

Another issue is the free vs open source debate. Does it have to be pure. Another time but SQLite seems allow both, just not in its core.
This is a reversal of cause and effect. I'm guessing since you are on Hacker News, it's quite likely that you are a high-paid engineer. You, and many others like you, are the cause of your neighborhood getting more expensive. As suburbs have become less desirable in our culture, many people would like to live in walkable parts of the city, so prices get bid up. The new mid rises kept prices lower than they would have been otherwise. If they hadn't been built, then all the rich people would have moved into lightly renovated tenements, exposed brick and such. Perhaps your apartment is something along those lines. Trust me, I'm from San Francisco, a city that "beat the developers" in the 70's, and made laws against building anything new in most of the city. Now poorly maintained 100 year old houses in any neighborhood go for $2-3mm.
I mean I'd agree that's a good candidate for replacement; once you start doing anything more complicated than maybe idempotent curls to an external service I think it ceases to be a 'shell script'.

This may sound a little like "no true scotsman" I guess, but "what is the scotsman" is kind of the key issue that I'm saying gets glossed over when people say blanket things like "never write shell, always use python."
You should research this. A judge can order you to provide the passphrase to decrypt the storage that contains the bitcoin wallet if it is a foregone conclusion that there is one on there, and if you refuse then you can be held in contempt and jailed until you do provide it. There is no time limit to contempt of court imprisonment because you are free to stop being in contempt whenever you choose. You will have a very hard time getting an appeals court to issue a mandamus order to the judge that jailed you for contempt, and by "hard" I mean "impossible".
And THIS is why the flu vaccine is still grown in eggs. It has a long history of working. For something as high-stakes as a vaccine or global financial exchange, the alternative needs so demonstrate not only superior efficacy but establish equivalent confidence. Traditionally, for vaccine manufacturing, where there is no option to start small and transact from the margins, the only possibility would be a competing interest willing to ignore the confidence factor in order to establish some base of confidence. And the comes a pandemic and a great deal of money is gambled on a new production technology, that otherwise would not have overcome the confidence deficit, because potential development and production time savings were so valuable, the lack of confidence was deemed a worthwhile risk. I suppose the US should beware the equivalent crisis to the global financial system. But also, the RMB can start small at the margins.

How does China's transparency-averse system effect confidence-building though?

Some ISPs also block other sites at their discretion, such as those that show extremist content, adult images, and child pornography. These latter blocks are voluntary and are not the same across the UK, but most ISPs usually tend to block child abuse content.

That sounds like a desperate plea to get stuck with a bug-riddled unmaintainable mess of a module.

If all you want to do is pick one of a finite set of possible code paths, it is never a good idea to generate a hash to pick from a map/array.

Even chained if/else if statements are cleaner than that mess.

> OutOfBounds errors aren't checked at compile time unless it's a `const` type IIRC.

There are circumstances where Rust can calculate the array index at compile time and, if it can, it will result in a compilation error if the index is out of bounds. Of course, this is a best-effort analysis and doesn't work for all possible cases. Here's some Rust code, the first three indexing operations fail at compile-time, but the last doesn't:

let x = [1,2,3];

x[4]; // compile error

const FOUR: usize = 4;
x[FOUR]; // compile error

let y = 4;
x[y]; // compile error

fn foo() -> usize { 4 }
x[foo()]; // runtime error

This analysis works on fixed-size arrays, but not on Vec.

So, I take it we agree that expressing the quadratic formula for BigDecimals as "x.pow(2).multiply(2).plus(x.multiply(3)).minus(5)" is awkward.

Do you think that "x.^(2).(2).+(x.(3)).-(5)" is any better? Because if you were hoping to support "x^2 * 2 + (x * 3) - 5" then you'll need more than just allowing non-alphabetic characters in names... you will ALSO need special support for infix notation (which Java lacks today).

Oh, that may be because ffmpeg uses libraries with incompatible licenses. I should have mentioned, ports with nonredistributable binaries are also built from source, and MacPorts tends to interpret licenses conservatively.

Just to confirm, you had a bag check for checked baggage after customs and before your domestic flight, and this was done by the TSA? I've flown into and around the US countless times, including international to domestic connections at SEA, and have never heard of this.

Not doubting your experience because policies change, but every US airport I've flown into has customs and immigration after an international flight, and after re-checking in your hold baggage if you have any, virtually all then route you to the normal TSA check before a domestic flight unless there's an airside transfer option directly to the gates.
There was no pre 20th century Poland! The pale is the same as the Polish Lithuanian commonwealth (mostly), minus Habsburg Galicia and the Prussian part of Poland. The nobility of the polish Lithuanian commonwealth were mostly polish or German speaking (and thus there is very little lithuanian or Belarusian in Yiddish even though a huge number of Jews lived in the Lithuanian part of the commonwealth)
It is not the peak temperature that is the problem, but the speed for which the temperature is rising. Adaptation need time, especially for symbiotic relationships. The reason that the coral is dying is because the sharp increase in temperature is mimicking that of an disease, and the incorrect reaction causes the coral to self-die.

It actually a bit similar to how a virus in an pandemic can become deadly to humans because it cause the immune system of the host to go into hyper drive. The virus itself can be rather minor, and the immune system reaction under normal circumstances would be pretty harmless, but an incorrect reaction results in death. Inflammation can be a great tool to combat a virus, but too much inflammation in the lungs can cause acute respiratory distress resulting in death.

Hardly. Nickel goes through a rube-goldberg process of extraction, smelting into pure nickel, made into a sulfate, transported around the world, remade into a nickel carbonate, and finally input into cathode manufacture.

The supply chain simply isn't set up for batteries yet. Nickel metal powder is the best form to transport, and likely the best input for cathode manufacture as well. But the industry formed around the sulfate which was a mature market from other industrial use.

My first instinct when hearing of accusations of academic misconduct is to ask
who is making those accusations: is it someone whose opinions I can trust?

The author of the blog above has an About page where they introduce themselves
as "a researcher with a background in Economics, Mathematics, and Cognitive
Science". Instead of a list of academic achievements: publications, grants,
chairs, awards, etc, as we would expect to see in a researcher's "about" page, the
author continues their introduction with a few words on what they're "thinking
about" at the moment and what their long-term goals are, then makes a peculiar
plea:

If you’re reading this and you do anything biology-related at all, I would
love to talk to you and would especially appreciate you getting in touch.

Then the author lists their favourite TV shows, personal essays, interviews etc.
All this does not make the author of the article sound like a trustworthy
source, but rather as someone desperate for attention.

The next thing I usually look for in cases like this is whether the person
accusing someone else of academic fraud has given an opportunity to the party
they accuse to defend themselves. The author of this blog has not only not done
that but is engaging in misleading tactics. The following text is in TFA:

Also see UC Berkeley’s official response regarding this essay – all problems
with the book I discovered are “minor”.

The sentence "UC Berkeley’s official response" links to the following URL:

https://yngve.hoiseth.net/articles/why-we-sleep-institutiona...

However, the linked resource is not "UC Berkeley's official response" at all,
but rather a blog by a different blogger, Yngve Hoiseth, who claims they
contacted someone -who is never named- at UC Berkeley about Alexey Guzey's post
we are reading above. Yngve Hoiseth's blog itself claims to have uploaded
"the entire exchange here", linking to the following URL:

https://yngve.hoiseth.net/why-we-sleep-institutional-failure...

Which is dead and has not been archived by archive.org.

All this makes the article above sound very difficult to take seriously. In all
honesty, it sounds entirely like an attempt to kick shit up for the author's
personal gratification. Or perhaps there is some strange ???-PROFIT scheme
hidden somewhere in there, but even that is not particularlly interesting.

Posting under a throwaway because the article's author sounds desperate enough
to engage in all sorts of internet attacks to deter critics.

This is false. "Pale of Settlement" refers to part of the Russian Empire and, while some of what is today Poland was then controlled by the Russian Empire, other parts of Poland were under Prussian or Austrian control (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partitions_of_Poland).

How much is your rent? Because, as OP mentioned:

>they're revitalizing as lifestyle areas that are very expensive to live in.
> A syllable is a sound that makes up part of a word. In the year two nought nought nought (2000), Guy Steele gave a talk called "Growing a Language". He used a schtick in his talk, where he did not speak a word of more than one syllable if he did not first say what it meant.

> In this post, I will use the same schtick.

This is a great and apparently unintentional illustration of why the belief in short words being simple is misguided. In its own introductory paragraph, it messes up in multiple ways by multiple standards.

Most obvious: nobody can understand "two nought nought nought". We'd have a much easier time with "two zero zero zero", even though the word "zero" is notionally 100% more complicated than the word "nought".

That was so obvious that the author helpfully glossed his own simplified language, knowing that we couldn't understand it. "two nought nought nought" means "2000". Good thing someone was there to dumb that ...up... for us.

Except... "2000" is "two thousand", and "thousand" is a word of more than one syllable. The author forgot to tell us what it means!

It turns out absolutely everything is very simple by this ludicrous standard. "Curl" is a non-evil one-syllable word, and it can be defined, also very simply, as ∇ × F (F: ℝ×ℝ×ℝ ⟶ ℝ×ℝ×ℝ). Look how easy that is to understand!

What does curl mean? Well, that must be a totally different question from "how simple is the concept?" I didn't understand what curl meant even when I was taking a class in it.

The government is literally forcing them in the case of virtually all new residential development. In most places it is illegal to have lots under 5000 square feet or more than one family on a lot (no duplexes etc). In many places the lot size restrictions are even more extreme, requiring 10-20k sqft per lot.

Almost every inch of the US and Canada has a litany of rules saying that buildings have to be 20’ or more set back from the street and have to leave 5-10’ on each side clear on the sides and rear. Usually they are limited to two stories and in some cases only one.

A lot of places take this further with rules on how much of your house has to be brick, or what color the roof can be etc. And since that’s still not enough to please some people’s desire for perfect conformity, most modern homes layer on top of this special HOA rules, for example restricting what kind of window shades are acceptable and how tall and green your grass most be. These rules are enforced by the local municipality and backed by the force of the police.

I have no doubt that there are many people who like single family housing and would buy designs like the common cookie cutter standard if it was part of a truly free market menu, but how much genuine demand exists we will never know, because virtually nothing else is legal and it hasn’t been for two generations now! People generally don’t “want” things they’ve never experienced and have no access to.

Just to drive this point home, imagine we passed a law saying that people were only allowed to eat seafood of certain dimensions and without tentacles. Fish, shrimp, and lobster between 1-7 lbs are OK. No squid or octopus. You can cook them however you want, except no grilled salmon is allowed in Vermont. Any other food requires years of community hearings to acquire one-off conditional approvals on a meal by meal basis.

Would you find plenty of people who liked seafood and defended this system? Yes. Would you know anything about people’s true preferences if they were allowed to be omnivores? No.

That’s what our world has been reduced to, and it’s the product of an almost unfathomably deep and Byzantine regulatory complex by which the government micromanages the built environment around us.

Well - I was the boss :) so that helped. But I’d also taken over a fairly unhappy and unproductive team that was ready to try new stuff. I’d been out of the game for a few years and had some fresh perspectives too.

So I did some small standalone projects and demonstrated how much easier life was with this and other (more significant) changes. For example, we had loads of operational problems with dependency injection - the usual cognitive and debugging issues - so I threw all of that out too, along with the frameworks that implemented them. Things started booting in a few seconds instead of minutes and I’d say the lack of setters/getters was mostly done because I built trust in my team that I was making their lives better so they just followed me.

Probably not the answer you were looking for but there was friction from the devs and in the end I just showed them how much nicer life could be...

If they can make one 7nm chip, they can make billions of them.

And Intel is having trouble making 7nm chips.

The US ban on selling chips to China will come back to bite them when the new Chinese chip-makers undercut US manufacturers and put them out of business. (As happened with US textiles, paper, tools, and even cars where outsourcing killed all of those industries.)

Those US semiconductor manufacturers could have had a long and rich life supplying chips to China. Instead China will make their own chips, and the US chip makers will slowly go broke.
