Edit: I phrased something very very poorly in my comment: "But even somewhat small changes in density can open up massively more land for use.". This should instead say that small changes in density can allow less land accomplish far more use. The entire idea is to make sure that land is not wasted, which means that humans will use less land overall, and will let more of it stay as nature.

No, the anti-pattern is sprawl and living far from other people, impacting huge amounts of land at low density.

Look at any suburb in satellite view, and see how much area it takes to get to, say, 40 houses. Compare that to a standard apartment complex with park space. Now add in all the roads that are needed to service the suburban detached housing, which requires driving for every single trip be it kids going to school or picking up some groceries. Then all the extra insulation, building materials, roofing, needed to create housing that is still far less energy efficient to heat and cool than an apartment building.

There are two efficient living forms: 1) urban life where needs are mostly within walking distance (be it a town of 5,000 or 500,000 or 5,000,000), and 2) isolated farm life where you only go into town infrequently because it takes too long, and you're kids take the bus.

Suburban living promotes daily driving for every task. Check out this map of consumption-based carbon emissions, which roughly track with most other pollution:

Georgist taxes greatly shrink those huge red belts that are in between cities and farmland.
Yep. This is the major differentiator to me and it's obvious why it caught on after that. When I heard about Discord I was like, "Weird, so many people are hosting their own servers or paying to host a server now? Why did it catch on now? More affordable?" Once I learned it was all free... kinda obvious.

I think that the quality of consciousness is a good fit for brains. If a plant has consciousness it doesn't mean that much because there isn't anything like the brain to experience things. Although I have read that they may have very basic sensing structures.

It wasn’t one tweet, FTFA: “Richard Dawkins has over the past several years accumulated a history of making statements that use the guise of scientific discourse to demean marginalized groups, an approach antithetical to humanist values.”

(Of course, before and contemporaneously with being given the award Dawkins was notorious for using the paper-thin pretext of scientific discourse (and sometimes not even that much cover) for both broad and specifically targeted anti-religious bigotry.
While humanism is inherently in opposition to religion, it need not be bigoted in the way Dawkins always has been, and he was always a poor choice as an exemplar of that community.
A very interesting twist is to play with real money.

Set a sensible exchange rate to real money and treat the Monopoly money as “chips”.

The tactics and strategy significantly change because there is real external value to the assets and currency - but only for the duration of the game.

Apart from anything else it means the game ends much faster.
That's the whole point, yes. You're supposed to hate the banker who has the easiest ability to cheat and thus control the game. There are parallels and metaphors being laid here...

That's not what they said, and that's not what I said. They didn't say the personon the clock doing a task for them of the time, they said the person was employed by them of the time. They were. You are employed right now by whoever signs your paychecks (assuming you have an employer). Employment is a contract, not a state you go into and out of on an hourly basis day by day. You may start work and stop work at different times on different days, but you are employed that entire period (this is also why you can't collect unemployment just because you haven't worked because you haven't been scheduled over a weekend).

People have been primed to assume some things about the statement presented (as with the root comment), but if you really examine it critically and rationally, you'll see it's not nearly as ludicrous as it sounds. Employers often put things in contracts that we take as obvious and most would agree should be allowed. At it's simplest level this is a non-compete agreement while that person is employed. Whether they are disallowed from offering their services to a competing company, or an open source project, IBM does not want them plying their skills elsewhere while they've contracted to ply them with IBM, and presumably as put that into the contract. Whether it's for an open source project or not is irrelevant, if that's what they agreed to in the contract (let's not act like an open source project can't provide competition, whether or not this one was).

I've outlined my thoughts on this in detail other places in this thread. I don't agree with contracts like this, and would attempt to not sign one if it was possible (but maybe if I was paid enough, it would be worthwhile). But I do think this is a case very easily handled by contract law, and better handled by it than some ham-fisted legislation that is easy to work around and has unintended consequences.
Thankfully saner heads have prevailed at companies like Sony.

They solved the waterproof phone with a headphone jack many years ago, went with with the craziness of removing it for no reason reason like Samsung and apple, and have since put it back in all of their phones as there hasn't been any noticable improvement in phones that have removed it, but now you have to make sure your headphones are charged.

Perlis's epigram: "It is better to have 100 functions operate on one data structure than 10 functions on 10 data structures."

It's not strictly about Lisp; Perlis was fond of Lisp but his true love was APL. But you could use it to advocate JSON, bytestream shell pipelines, or even TCP/IP. Or a flat byte-addressable memory, I suppose, like Forth or amd64.

Are you thinking of something like the static typing system of Christopher Diggins's "Cat" language, or its children Kitten and Mlatu?

"Facebook wants to 'normalize' the mass scraping of personal data (vice.com)" - which is also bouncing first page and second on HN today (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26879315

Desktop UI is very different from web, and most languages have multiple choices. WPF is the latest Windows-only, Windows Forms is legacy (from Windows XP era), Xamarin is cross-platform. These is in the descriptions on the page, or you can click on the documentation and follow the breadcrumbs to the main topic for the Desktop Guide: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/desktop/?view=netdes...

However you can just use Electron if you want to reuse web UI skills on desktop (although HN hates that). Likewise you can solve the state problem the same as a web backend. Use an external database, or a local database, write to a file, just keep it in memory, or use any of the OS-specific options. I recommend starting with EntityFramework (an ORM) and using the Sqlite provider: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/core/get-started/overvie...

You really are refusing to listen to what people are telling you.

I have an Internet router, which uses NAT for IPv4, same as everyone else. If I want to punch a hole through for something like RDP or SSH, I have to use unique port numbers because I only have one Internet-facing IP address. Because there are only 3 billion IPv4 addresses for the whole World, all of them are regularly scanned by Bad People for open ports, making this RISKY.

I also have IPv6 enabled on it. No NAT. If I want to punch a hole through for RDP or SSH, I can use the standard ports because each device has a unique Internet-facing IP address. My router alone has 2^64 (millions of trillions) of unique addresses, of which a random 5 or 6 have been allocated. There is no way anyone ever is going to be able to scan these. I can SAFELY open standard port numbers and not have to worry about drive-by attacks.

THERE IS NO OTHER DIFFERENCE.

The router works the same, the firewall works the same, the Internet works the same, the GUI is the same. IT IS ALL THE SAME!

NAT is not magic. It is not a firewall. It is not necessary. It is not beneficial.

You have the EU upside-down. It's not something that imposes upon it's member states, it's something it's member states use to impose their desired policies upon themselves.

When a political party in a member state wants to support something unpopular, they push for it behind closed doors with other member states in the EU. Then the politician blames the EU for being too bureaucratic or something to throw the blame off themselves.

The UK leaving the EU was not a reasoned act of statecraft; it was Tories trying to solve their own political problems by proposing a referendum they expected to fail. When it turned out to win by a hair, everyone involved immediately jumped ship. The thing is, all of the red tape and bureaucracy are things that citizens complain about. Politicians are the ones imposing it and the EU is just the rubber stamp they use.

> For the average currency user, why is it so important to get rid of banks and the government and these suspicious-sounding “third parties?” Yes, we all hate bankers, but is the tyranny of Venmo so oppressive that we should shed the U.S. dollar entirely and begin trading in an alternative currency?

One can get a 3 to 12% APY on stablecoins on decentralized lending/yield platforms. Meanwhile, a 1+% APY on a savings account at a regular bank in the US is an anomaly. It doesn't have to be political or ideological, there is a good financial case to be made for crypto-currency based solutions.
Postgres is designed to be modified and is highly extensible. Many companies add features or capabilities that are not native to Postgres. Some things you can do using extension interfaces (linking in shared libraries) and others require modifying the source. It can get a bit blurry, it really depends on what you are trying to do.

It is not that uncommon to mod Postgres to do something it can’t do out of the box. I’ve been paid to do it many times for companies that use Postgres to make it do just a bit more. This is a pretty valuable and unique property of Postgres; it has many fundamental limitations but a lot of small limitations can be coded around if you are handy with C.
> The Delta-V requirements for sending precious metals back to earth is insanely high.

Sending gold down to earth is very cheap. As a bonus, you can also take out a city you are tired of.

In addition to owning orbiting gold, I imagine the real use will be to feed orbital factories, to produce satellites/space stations/rockets in orbit. Everyone on a space station can have a golden toilet.

Even with the giant bundles of BS/JS downloaded, modern websites still load faster than they did in the 90s on my 56k modem.

The Dr. Quinn website takes 6 seconds to DOMContentLoaded on a 56k connection. The CNN website (my goto for bloated webpages) takes only 1 second on my "high speed" 40 Mb/s connection.

As for responsive. A lot old websites were built specifically for 800x600 displays, and look janky or are a tiny square in the corner on larger resolutions.
So how fast does it go?
It would be literally the EXACT SAME firewall with IPv6 as with IPv4 NAT.

Most IPv6 routers are also IPv4 routers and behave exactly the same for both. They share the same router code, the same firewall, etc...

Yes, it includes things like sea level rise. Having said that, the giant knob hiding in the math is the discount rate. If you have $1 of damage in 2121, how much are you willing to pay today to avoid it? $1? $0.01?

Discount rates are usually in the 4.5-6% range. On the lower end, that means damage 100 years out is discounted 80x+. Most of the hefty damage from climate change happens from 2060 onward in most models, so the NPV to society not actually that high (yet). You also have to decide if society will allow geoengineering (e.g. stratospheric calcite, or something that fairly harmless by contrast but politically charged today) when things get really bad.

(Realistically, that will likely happen because the alternative is much worse, so do you price that in? Something like stratospheric aerosols can turn back the clock for a significant fraction of damage (minus OA and some other nastiness))

Anyway, the $50/ton number is intentionally framed as a purely economic one, and it's acknowledged that not all externalities are captured, so you may want to pick a different number.

Also, as an aside, $600/ton isn't where the market is going, and not something to anchor on. I hope pyrolysis+sequestration, which has a lot of benefits, will get to a low cost point. They'll be competing with things in the $50-150/ton range, with various levels of scalability.
Even in embedded systems, there's still usually a distinct boundary between the OS kernel and the "application", and a well-defined API between the two.
Interesting because I always thought SOA was just a slightly older term for microservices.
I've thought about this too. C libraries usually have sensible prefices though, e.g. curl_, and if not a man-page. So for C specifically I don't have this issue.

Ruby though... I really hate it. Overloading on numbers for example. Which module lets you do 5.some_verb? Where did you import it?

In python and C you have imports local to the file or included headers. In ruby it doesn't matter as long as it's been imported somewhere in the same runtime??

Absolutely bonkers.

PS: I am quite new to ruby so please enlighten me if I have it all wrong :)
Intuitively, at least to me, human languages and cultures don't lend themselves to universal laws. And I guess I just don't see the point making any claims of universal laws. You could just say "these are incredibly ubiquitous features and here's some useful abstractions and models" without claiming universality.
Thanks! I will be much more explicit next time and avoid handwaving when offering "solutions". Will go read about zigbee.
Actually this can be mitigated by compile-time conversion to a selected floating point or rational approximation (no idea if such things are supported).

Find me an intersex person that can both bear a child and impregnate a woman. From my understanding, it's still falls under either this or the other, not a literal third sex. And even if, that's a tiny fraction of what already is a tiny fraction of intersex people. It does not disprove the general notion and it does not justify changing the entire culture around it and basically terrorizing people who are stating these basic facts. You could be born with six fingers and that doesn't invalidate the fact that human species have 5 fingers at each hand.

And yeah, I talked to people who were saying that biological sex doesn't exist and gender is all there is to it.

Agree, a lot of surface arguments and very disconnected / short-sighted in terms of the future of crypto and applications of block chain in general. Bitcoin as a cryptocurrency is nascent, and certainly has userland issues, especially if you're not somewhat of a technologist. The author misses the point in terms of how quickly things are evolving and will continue to evolve to bring down the usability gap. Secondly I think the author misses the point in just how powerful decentralization is.
I have never heard anyone from any school in any country mention they used VB in school. Everyone I know who used VB, including me, learned it outside of school (either as a hobby or at work). I don't think VB in colleges was ever as widespread as you claim.
It depends on whether a court considers it to legally be a derivative work or not. Some (but not all) circuits apply the "Abstraction, Filtration, Comparison Test", under which thin wrappers should make no difference. Other courts might have their own ways of deciding. The whole area is murky and untested, mainly because companies haven't really hammered out the cases in court.
The thing that P6 really needed was a new object system.

There were two options.

1. Create a new object system for Parrot.
2. Create a new object system and a VM around it.

Considering the object system needed is almost nothing like the one that was in Parrot, creating a new VM was probably considerably less work.

Then there is also the problem that some of the major contributors to Parrot didn't care about P6. They have said so publically. I don't think they would have taken too kindly to a completely new object system dumped on their doorsteps. (That's how they might feel about it anyway.)

---

Honestly thinking about it now, I think that if option 1 had been taken there would have been a fork of Parrot. I can almost guarantee it. And I'm not just talking about a fork of the codebase. There would have been a fork of the people behind it as well. It wouldn't have been a peaceful fork either.

I see all of the anger that you have towards what happened. I can only see it as being significantly worse and bigger if they had created a new object system for Parrot instead.

Creating a new object system, and a new VM to support it, was the correct move.

Especially considering that a number of the fundamental design decisions of Parrot which were completely unnecessary or plainly wrong.

I can only imagine the hell it would be to remove or replace any of the features.

---

You seem to be the only one still angry, still here, and still talking about it. Most of the other people who would have been angry regardless of which of those two decisions were made have either gone, or are quiet.

If the Parrot object system was replaced instead, a number of those people would still be angry, and still be here, and be loud. They would just be angry for different reasons.

Instead what happened is they got angry, but mostly drifted away with Parrot.

Come to think about it; things seemed to have gotten quieter after that event. Even though progress started going faster.

---

I would have preferred if they (you) didn't get angry about it. I would have very much preferred if there wasn't a reason to get angry.

The thing is that there would be some number of people would have gotten angry regardless. It's only a matter of who, and for what.

In the reality where Parrot got the new object system instead, I strongly suspect that one of the people who got angry would include jnthn. Since he is responsible for a lot of the progress in recent years, I think I prefer this reality.

I mean I miss the people from back then, but I think problems were piling up, and it was coming to a head at some point.
