I'm honestly surprised there is a Wikipedia article on this, but I suppose if you can dream it, you can put it up there.

My point stands, because regardless of how accurate your quoted text is (seems to me like it's just a term invented by zealots to shutdown an argument without participation), it's irrelevant in this thread. It's invalid to say this other thing (reverse racism) is false, therefore racism can't manifest in other ways than you're saying.
I have that too. After four or five posts I have to wait an hour.

They'd probably remove it if I asked them, but I find it helps me choose my comments more wisely, or at least make certain the ones I know will be downvoted will be worth it. And being forced to take a break now and then isn't so bad.
There are people willing to take those jobs. You would be taking a job away from a willing worker and doing what? Tell them to take welfare? Not everyone in the workforce is a sole breadwinner for their family. Regulating those jobs makes all of those workers worse off and is an economic loss to the system.
I don't need to consult a map all that often, but I use mapping software on my phone because it's traffic-aware and knows routes that locals might but tourists often don't. Most people know one good way to get to regular destinations, often linked in a chain to other places, but combining the best routes from A to B and from B to C does not necessarily add up to the best way from A to C.

This is all about the framing. What question is being answered?

If the question is "which charity should I donate to" then we've already narrowed the scope to an individual's action with their own money. (Although there are some forms of collective behavior like crowdfunding.) The case for effective altruism seems pretty good within that space.

If you broaden your scope to all the things people could do working together, there are other possibilities, but even they often could use more funds.
I saw something earlier today that said (inelegantly paraphrasing)

"developers read articles as if they themselves were a compiler, immediately stopping as soon as they reach a sentence they disagree with and then throwing a syntax error"

I think the same thing applies here
All your ideas are of value for our FLOSS MOOC! I'll make sure we integrate some of these ideas in it. If you're interested and want to contribute: https://gitlab.com/mooc-floss/mooc-floss/
DPO is the same though right? If you do the capital raise before the DPO or a capital raise in an IPO there isn't much difference.
I have briefly perused your comments and most of them seem to be interesting contributions. Some of them were definitely downvoted for no real reason AFAICT other than offering up unpopular opinions, and still others appeared to be downvoted for being what I think is a combative tone. You do, in general I think, come across as a bit combative. You have interesting, relevant, and/or factual things to say, maybe consider how what you are saying comes across.
The good news is that Rust is going to need to get serious about first-tier support for all architectures supported by the Linux kernel if this is to go anywhere.

Personally I won't even consider to use such thing while cycling. Looks rigid (and maybe with some weight penalty compared to other lightweight non-tech alternatives?), in case of a serious crash it can be troublesome. Plus the idea of cycling while listening to music is a no-no.

And I think anyone newly diagnosed would love to have progression stopped at diagnosis.

What’s your point?

It’s not a total cure and restoration, but it’s better than now- where your brain is ravaged at diagnosis and gets worse until death.
Is there a paper on that? I'm so interested.
Reading articles isn't a problem.

Apples approach to "assuming everyone's device behaves the same way" (quotes because I don't honestly think any qualified engineer would make that assumption.) was wrong.

Some people use their phones less. My father doesn't turn his phone ON unless he wants to make a call.(Frustrating though that is...)

This makes a difference to battery performance as they don't just age out sitting in a box but through use as well. But here's Apple's take:
https://www.apple.com/au/batteries/why-lithium-ion/

"
For instance, you might use 75 per cent of your battery’s capacity one day, then recharge it fully overnight. If you use 25 per cent the next day, you will have discharged a total of 100 per cent, and the two days will add up to one charge cycle. It could take several days to complete a cycle. The capacity of any type of battery will diminish after a certain amount of recharging.
"

Some people used their phone a lot and had batteries replaced - either through Apple or not.

And some human within Apple signed off on a solution to effectively make everyones older phone worse.

What else could they have done? Well, from my original NPR link:
"Starting in 2018, iPhone users have been able to better control an iPhone's battery life and check on the health of the battery, along with allowing users to turn off iPhone battery throttling"

Make no mistake, Apple acted poorly. But they do better now. Whether that is because they were caught or not, we will never know.

I like many of the things Apple does. I have a lot of respect for their trailblazing. Screens seemed stuck in 1920x1080 hell until Apple unplugged screen development again.

But they are a corporation like any other and can't be trusted.
The opposite of ACK (Acknowledged) in many protocols. Basically Rejected.

Australian firm Azimuth Security helped crack terrorist's iPhone: claim
The goto bugs are often failures to release locks in the error paths, or failure to free some other resource, or sometimes double frees. C++ programs that use RAII locks rarely have these types of issues.

Many casual users never notice these bugs, but if you put a Linux box under enough pressure that some kmalloc fails, it will fall to pieces because the error paths are full of bugs and little-exercised. C has probably the worst error-path control flow of any of the high-level languages.
All languages are decentralized regardless of regulation by official government bodies.

The role of regulation is mostly a legal role employed by countries that use a civil legal system. Most English speaking countries use a common law legal system and so interpretation of words is fairly fluid and subject to interpretation by the courts. Civil law does not have this kind of flexibility and room for interpretation, so courts will make use of regulatory bodies to uniformly interpret language.

This is why almost all countries with a civil law system have a regulatory body, while countries with a common law system do not.

There will always be a collector class with any category of designer product. Established manufacturers (Nike, Monte Blanc, Omega) are aware of this and directly cater to those customers. I don't think this was TE's intent when they launched their synthesizer.

The OP-1 is an incredibly well designed product that stands on its own as an instrument. The device has taken on the life of a status symbol somewhat in 10 years, but is that due to TE or due to the quality of the product? Synthesizers have their own collector class after all, but I don't think you can accuse TE of intentionally catering to those folks when they made the OP-1. People like good design for many reasons. The OP-1 has an undeniable aesthetic quality but it's a versatile and flexible (and portable) instrument under all that.
It would make me more likely to contribute, if it was an appropriate amount of compensation for that issue.

In that case, I would also want to have a clear understanding of under what conditions my pull request will be accepted, and when.
I think the right way is to use TF to provision the kubernetes cluster and underlying resources such as storage connections, dns, etc, and then use kubernetes to deploy the app.

I don't really understand this argument. If militaries are part of the embodied infrastructure of a country's banking system, this would imply that replacing the banking system with something decentralized (like cryptocurrency) would cause countries across the world to reduce their military footprint.

I find it much more likely that military resources would be diverted to somewhere upstream of mining in the value chain. For example, if we continue relying on carbon-intensive proof-of-work blockchains, why wouldn't armies simply be diverted to secure energy resources?
The irony; Bernard Madoff dies, but his spirit lives on.
No. The result of std::string("foo") is exactly the same size as of std::string("foofoo"). They take up exactly the same number of bytes in the free store, on the stack, in a hash table, what have you.

When the string is very long, it occupies two stretches of storage, one exactly the same size as std::string("foo"), plus another stretch big enough for the long sequence plus whatever overhead heap allocation adds.

But that is different from the examples given. For the cases cited, there is no indirection of any kind. The bytes are right there in the std::string object.
My mother’s family is from the Durham area in the north east so I’m very familiar with the broadly Geordie accent. To me Norwegian sounds a bit like German spoken by a Geordie.

It’s not really surprising considering that region of England used to be colonised by “Danes” and was called The Danelaw before the Norman conquest, as against the south Germanic tribes that settled southern England. I suppose the Norman french influence peters out the further north you go.

What would a clean-slate implementation of a serial terminal look like today?

I work in embedded, and a serial terminal is practically a must in any system, if only for debug. A way to provide input and receive output.

You'll definitely want a FIFOs for RX/TX. You also likely want control chars and a way to shortcut the FIFO, if only to interrupt output. The FIFO means you can abstract away the exact physical communication medium.

TUI interfaces mean you also want a way to tell the program what the dimensions of your screen are, through the control chars.

What else?

Whoah this looks awesome. The sequence arrangement looks especially cool. I love the OP-Z, but it’s sound engine is limiting and it’s tricky to create full arrangements. I might have to take a closer look at the MV-1.
No, clearly not against syphilis, against a variety of other preventable diseases (read the sentence before the excerpt). I'm generalizing that we jump to treatment over prevention in health. In the specific case of syphilis, a condom is a great start.

In retrospect, it could generalize even further than health because humans tend to follow "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." We cling to fixing things we break vs exercising even a bit of caution to reduce the chances of breaking things as a strategy, even when prevention is sometimes trivial or were talking about our own health.
> It would be interesting to see if time-weighting the votes somehow could improve the signal.

Perversely, downvotes aren't available on comments older than 24 hours, but upvotes are, so comments that attract a mixture of up- and down-votes get a strong upward bias on votes they attract after a day (since the upvotes happen and the downvotes don't).

Not sure how relevant that effect is to more short-term issues, though.
I share some of these concerns. I was reading this book about the Congo recently:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XCJ62YJ/

It's a fascinating book for many reasons, but one relevant part is its interviews with many locals that complain about the influence of NGOs in central Africa. It seems quite difficult to measure the success of an NGO in a country that is run by a dictatorship. There are cases where an organization starts working on a particular charitable cause, so the government immediately routes its own funding for that cause elsewhere. Or the only way for an NGO to operate is to pay high taxes to a corrupt government. So your money to these charities can essentially end up in the pocket of dictators, funding genocide.

I think about these when reading GiveWell's analyses of charity. Even things like mosquito nets - are we sure that these NGOs are really providing mosquito nets that wouldn't be provided otherwise? Or are they crowding out government spending, helping dictators free up more of their budget for other things? Or are mosquito nets simply the most appealing of many causes, the wealthy donors backing GiveWell could easily fund the entire demand for mosquito nets, and the cause is "kept alive" to enable GiveWell to raise more funds for other, less-obvious causes?

It's hard to do much more analysis of charities whose actions are so remote. I wish there were a GiveWell equivalent but just focused on giving to help the poor in California, not because I think the poor in California are so much more deserving than the rest of the world, but because I think we would be more able to observe which entities were spending money effectively.
The default physics model in KSP was chosen for its computational simplicity, which allows for the extensive maneuver planning tools without requiring high-end hardware to continually re-run n-body simulations at several orders of magnitude faster than realtime.
Euro coin tracking was a bit popular in the early days of the euro, as it showed how coins moved around Europe (you can’t identify individual coins, but each country has its own coins that can be used throughout the euro zone. Spanish and Italian coins move to Germany and the Benelux faster in summer than in winter, for example)

You can still play that game with new coins, but it’s less f
visible now, as most coins are old and those already are well dispersed throughout the euro zone (and, of course, more and more people pay with a card)

This reads like a strawman perspective on the concept of 'effective altruism.'

The 'effective' part in the term is doing a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to the definition. It seems reasonable to focus on actually 'effective' actions with good outcomes, rather than comparatively ineffective virtual signalling or martyrdom.

Becoming rich and then helping millions of people with your means is more impactful than being poor and helping dozens. Both should be admired and encouraged, but one is clearly more 'effective' than the other.
It would be interesting to have a shell that allowed transactions like a database and could list what files have been affected while in the transaction.
WWII's civilian/military casualty ratio was way higher than WWI's (~2:1 vs. very very roughly 1:1 or lower), which would affect how the lethality hypothesis affects casualties. When more of the dead are civilians and civilians predominantly die from famine and disease, higher overall death counts in a more-global conflict don't necessarily mean that conflict killed more soldiers per-capita, though some nations definitely suffered higher per-capita military losses due to factors beyond increasing weapon lethality - mostly thinking of Russia there. For instance, furiously crunches Wikipedia numbers in the UK it looks like WWI had a higher proportion of military deaths to population (~2% vs. ~.8%) even though it also suffered significantly more civilian deaths in II, though not enough to outweigh the decrease in military losses as a function of total population.

There might be an argument that increasing weapon lethality can decrease the number of battlefield combatant deaths but also could increase the likelihood of mass civilian atrocity. That said, high-lethality weapons definitely aren't necessary for mass civilian atrocities either.

And sure, I intended a wartime/wartime comparison regarding draftees: even if we go back to WWII as the last real great-power hot war, a French Napoleonic draftee (looking at France as Britain apparently didn't actually conscript in the Napoleonic wars) is significantly more likely to die in battle than a French WWII (or even WWI!) draftee: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleonic_Wars_casualties#cit...

With dynamically sized types like `str`, Rust allows to separate "what kind of pointer + metadata is this" from "what kind of data does it point at". So, for example, you can have the types `str`, `[T]` or `Path`, and can have them behind the pointer types `&T`, `Box<T>` or `Arc<T>`.

If Rust had defined a special struct `Str` for `&str`, then it would have to define special structs for all the combinations possible: Str, ArcSlice, BoxPath, etc.

You see. This is what bitcoin so fascinating... it is absolutely impossible to hide a transaction.

So imagine the field day the irs would have with this if everyone used it. They basically would be able to send bills to owners of wallets. And anyone ever caught working with an undesirable would be able to have their funds more or less locked up.

So now, we all watch as billions of stolen money moves and we know the moment it gets converted to anything real, the owners will be caught. However in the future I could easily see a government watch money that some undesired element has move and no one will want it because the moment they get it they are connected to an undesirable and their wallet becomes tainted.

The only thing I claimed about the two as a category was that "strings are not immutable, they're data structures" (which applies to Rust too). I purposely didn't go into much more detail than that because it wasn't really the point of the article. I did mention that C works with strings as raw char arrays, and C++ has a struct around a char array that manages length-tracking and reallocation automatically.

I believe these two statements are accurate, though I'm happy to be corrected if they aren't. It's been a few years since I wrote C++. Beyond that, I see my claims as "abstract" and not "falsehoods".
Personally, I flag for blatant rule violations such as comments that are filled with personal attacks or spam.

I will downvote comments that are simply low quality, like comments that merely say "^ This!". I don't usually downvote bad faith arguing because it's hard to prove when someone is arguing in bad faith versus just simply having bad arguments.
This sounds like the last dying breath of a company knowing they are in some serious trouble over this massive stuff up. The fact they deal with medical data (what kind of data, I am not sure), they might be in violation of numerous protections in place to protect medical information.

The aggressive response and how quickly they got their lawyers involved is telling they know they are in deep trouble over this and how little they grasp and understand what has happened here.

The Apperta website did give me a good laugh when I read this:

> We show how the delivery of health and social care can be transformed when data, information and knowledge in IT systems is open, shareable and computable.

They certainly live up to their mission statement.
> "Virtual money" is an oxymoron. Is a dollar in a bank account more virtual than a dollar bill or less virtual than a bitcoin?

I believe it's closer to a tautology (opposite of oxymoron, and by "closer" I mean that it doesn't stricly qualify as a tautology, but I believe that's the direction you intended), right? Because money is nothing more than a promise that people believe in. The value of money is entirely dependant upon people's confidence that they will be able to exchange it at some point for real goods.

Does anyone else remember as a kid giving your parents "coupons" that they could redeem for services later ("Two free lawn mowings")? If your parents believed that they could redeem those pieces of paper scribbled by a child, then that was "real" currency.
We learn from our peers. Sure a teacher helps but most learning is peer based.
So regular CDK is basically a program-driven CFN generator.

Pulumi has a similar model where you build a resource graph at runtime BUT it's also got the execution engine built-in to the tool.

What this means in practice is that you can create resources (like a kube cluster) and then use them as providers (e.g provision state tracked resources with kube api) all in the same operation.

You can also (in your infracode or an importable module) define "dynamic providers", meaning you can easily extend the execution engine to do custom things related to your workload.

As an example, imagine you want to create a cluster, deploy an app, then provision (state tracked) some app resources like an admin user and group via the app's REST API. You can do that without too much fuss.

Neither terraform nor CDK can really do those things very well. TF is not powerful enough language-wise, and in CDK the execution phase is locked away from you.
