Not an expert on the UK, but here in Canada common law marriage is absolutely a thing. Just filled in my 2021 census yesterday and one of the selectable marital status was "common law" and many government documents refer to the status. Common law relationships are generally much easier to dissolve, but courts have held them as strong as legal marriages, especially if the relationship lasts decades and includes children. They form without any specific action beyond time spent living together.

Dependency injection in modern programming is known as "partial function application" and the poster you're replying to is correct. React Context is not at all an elegant solution, it's the opposite. It's a hard coupling to hidden global state.
Burn biomass (plants) in a power plant to generate electricity, then store the carbon dioxide in empty gas fields. This is called BECCS, Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage [0].

Unfortunately, carbon capture and storage is not economical (yet). Let's hope it will be soon, with EU CO2 prices already reaching 50 euros / ton this week [1].
If I understand this International Energy Agency report[2] correctly, many forms of carbon capture become economical if these price levels subsist in the EU (and other economic blocs impose similar prices on their industry).

You know what I struggle with? Writing professional letters (or email) in my native language. I went to university and worked in the industry in the UK and so I only ever had to write in a professional style in English. I was trying to ask for some information from an online shop in Greek the other day (I'm Greek) and I found I had no idea how to start and end the email and how exactly to phrase the question I wanted to ask without sounding like I was talking to my bestie.

Kind of the reverse situation than what you're describing, because I haven't learned to say those things in my native language, but for me it goes to show we learn lots of pre-baked turns of phrase that we adjust appropriately to the context when we need them.

HN 2028: How to make your own diamond jewelry
Exactly. There is plenty of discussion to be found online in techie circles, but in short, if you’re going to use a naked domain to host your website, at least redirect www to it.
It's the opposite in my opinion. The richer the social circle, the less people care about stuff like diamonds or 2 months salary (which I never even heard of outside of online discussions). A diamond ring is barely a notable expense for a dual six figure earning couple.
The more you spent, the richer both of you are. The richer both of you are, the easier it is to afford getting divorced.
in the 1970s there were two common interpreted languages on small-RAM (say 4k) microcomputers and those were BASIC and FORTH; the second of which is almost "take the parenthesis out of your LISP program, reverse the order of the tokens, and... it works!"

By 1980 or so I think there was a LISP for CP/M that fit in a large-memory micro (48k) but it was expensive not that popular. A LISP runtime could have been an answer to the certifiably inzane segmented memory model of the IBM PC and I know people tried it, but other languages pulled ahead... In particularly Turbo Pascal and other languages with very fast-compilers and IDE user interfaces ripped off from LISP machines that were about as good as Visual Studio, Eclipse, IntelliJ are today -- only the PC versions were much much faster than the modern equivalents!

To be fair: modern IDE's are handling much larger programs. I remember a 1988 issue of BYTE magazine devoted to the idea of "software components" which the author thought were a long way off, but are now realized in the form of "npm", "maven", "pypi", if not the ancient CPAN, ActiveX, ...

I think it's also funny that circa 1988 Nick Wirth thought that true modularity in the module system mattered, the world didn't listen, and we've gone on to see Java only moderately harmed by the "Guava13+ broke Hadoop" crisis and to see npm practice diverge into inzanity with 2000+ dependencies for small projects but it works because the half-baked module system is more modular than Java.
i found this very interesting.

we have a homegrown push-based streaming library in .net based on reactive (it supports indexed joins of "tables") and we're looking for something more infrastructural as we move to the cloud.
Quasi-off-topic: I might have two SunBlade and one UltraSparc workstations looking for a new home in exchange for a postage contribution (they are based in the UK) and, if you feel so inclined, a contribution either to the british heart foundation or our research group (which is primarily funded by them).

These were used as high-end workstations to drive MRI scanner research consoles back in "the day" – most vendors used sun unix at some point, before slowly transitioning to linux. They all have dual NICs and are well engineered, powerful machines. Drop me an email if interested [see my profile for details].
For me, my Casio FX-502P when at school - totally caught the programming bug from that thing. The cool kids (in the maths sense obviously!) had HPs; RPN and beautifully engineered, but too expensive sadly.

Yup. That is exactly it. You cannot believe the number of programmer I've met who thinks that ''data science is easy'' because ''I can code a neural net too''.

Data analysis is a soft skill that you usually learn by getting your hands dirty in a graduate or professional environment. Its not something you can put on a CV like like ''X years of experience with Y programming language''.
The comment predicts a precipitous fall in price. A gem-quality diamond price index [1] shows fluctuation but nothing precipitous:

Jun 7 2018: 124.79 (day of Reddit comment)

May 4 2021: 124.27 (today)

The reddit comment ignores obvious macroeconomic trends. Growth of middle class in China and India are adding to the diamond demand (a lot), in addition to general global population growth and greater purchasing power.

Aren't Vp8/9/av1 all open codecs tho? I don't really see what the issue is.

Vp8 seems to be the most supported on all platforms without melting your intel CPU. At least from when I was deploying a webRTC solution to a larger customer base last year.

This is significantly better than even h264 in terms of patents/royalties.

Most launches are being done by US/EU based companies. if those adhere to not polluting space in an unproductive manner then we'll be fine. making 'rules' that everyone can adhere to just leads to everyone sticking to the lowest common denominator. Which to me, is a worse situation than legislature picking up resposibility on their own.

As said elsewhere, for U2F/Webauthn, the biggest threat is creating a duplicate of the key rather than third parties using the physical key. The idea is that physical security plus needing to know the account password should be sufficient security for that use case. Yubikeys in smartcard or FIDO2 mode do use PINs or passwords to protect the private key, since in that case the private key+PIN are the two factors.

MNT Reform 2 DIY Kit Review
I agree the style and headline is a little annoying but this is a story that is worth a little worry. Not because it is going to land on your head but because of the pattern of behavior. Here is an article about the same topic from the Guardian[0]. It isn't the first time China has allowed uncontrolled re-entry of something that will probably not burn up entirely in recent history. At some point space is an area the whole world is going to have to figure out the rules together and when any country doesn't follow those rules we (the world) need to find some way to hold them (absolutely any country or company launching) accountable. Especially when it has the potential to land and cause damage and kill people.

I remember a guy exposing the Canadian diamond industry on YouTube. I tried to search for him but he apparently disappeared from the surface of Earth.

You won't get adoption until the word gets around that Big Company X is using Format Y, and they supply content prominently in Format Y. That's when Chinese SoC manufacturers start taking things seriously, add hardware decode blocks to their designs, and adoption just spirals out from there.
What I meant was what if it turns out diamonds are not special after all?

Lab grown diamonds are diamonds. Whether one comes out of the ground or from a lab, maybe they aren’t that special.
Exactly. Like when Nathan Fielder opened a coffee shop named “Dumb Starbucks”, called it a conceptual art project, and operated for [:strikethrough: months] days, making hundreds of thousands without ever getting sued.
> .edu hosted anti-science web site from a religious university to prove it isn't true.

Got the link to this one, I’m curious on the specific topics they argue against and if I know the university.
The exact thing is happening in my neighbourhood on a regular basis in the last year. And in some cases the burglar managed to get away with notebooks and other valuables while the owner were just upstairs for 5 minutes.

>I think everyone kinda knows about synthetic diamonds, they just don’t care.

I 100% disagree. The stigma around cubic zirconia and 'fake' jewelry is real and alive, and absolutely carries over to any kind of man-made gems. I also don't think most people have any idea at all about the issues in the gem trade.

So why not buy something practical and expensive? Like a house or a car?
Upside, that means a gene drive would ruin them extremely fast.
I definitely laughed after reading this thread. Would advise others to read it.
Don't apply logic to fashion choices. Why do some sneakers sell for thousands? It is all about the attached backstory. Two identical shoes, but one was owned by a celeb. The backstory, the notoriety of owning the embodiment of that backstory, is the value. Some people want to own something 'from the earth'. Some would even pay more for an object that people suffered to produce. Lots of people certainly pay more for objects that come from animals suffering. Blood diamonds are no different than ivory or tiger parts, the backstories of which are so valuable that we enact laws to destroy their market.

If the value of Lisp is how wonderfully readable it is... then I guess it was never meant to be with me and Lisp.
Sure it doesn’t, as claims that a reputable site like thepiratebay.org might be “sketchy” are… not very credible. :P

Restricting access to .org to just registered non-profits would be just pointless, because there are some notable parties that may not ever receive official recognition, e.g. human right activism in Belarus.

Unless .org would be restricted to US-based organizations only, that would make a whole lot more sense.

Haha, fair enough. But what I mean is that the whole discussion in the article is about ink that still in its compartment inside the pen, prior to writing/drawing/etc. It has nowhere to go and cannot spread.
Functions is cheaper than Lambda@Edge ($0.10 per 1M invocations vs. $0.60 per 1M invocations + duration pricing) but limited to lightweight request manipulation purposes.
Actually, I learned by programming assembly for a long gone platform, 25 years ago. I have learned Python already after many years programming in C, Perl, Java and Common Lisp, professionally.

Experience with Lisp gave me a certain way of looking at programming languages. Rather than "oh, how fun!", I am more like "let's see which subset of Lisp it implements".

The only really interesting language in recent years that I have learned is Rust which truly does something new and it recalibrated my thinking about utility of making further subsets of Lisps. It seems there is still a lot of possibility for improvement from the language standpoint, and that it is possible that a lot of improvement may come from restricting the developer from doing certain things rather than giving unrestricted freedom.

>Most marriages collapse due to money.

Some studies on factors leading to divorce do put 'money' (and particularly attitudes regarding money) as the biggest single factor, but I'm not familiar with any study (let alone a consensus) that it's a leading factor in 'most' divorces.
IEEE 1275 was published in 1994 AFAICT, which was when Sun was still robust. Sbus/IEEE 1496 was published in 1993 (though the first Sun's started using it in 1989). Before that Sun used VMEbus for their Motorola 68000-based systems.

SPARC was licensed starting in the early 1990s as well:

> A problem with modern psychology is the diagnostic criteria aren't very much based on underlying causes as on being able to reliably diagnose patients based on symptoms regardless of physician. This leads to people agreeing what your diagnosis is

That is true. The groupings persist because they are useful in facilitating communication regarding potential complications, prognosis, and patterns of response to treatments.

People seem intent on throwing away the above utility with a backhanded “but that’s not the Real Diagnosis.” It’s not, but within the limitations of our current understanding of neurology, it’s the best we have come up with so far (allowing for some limitations due to the pace of spread of innovations, politicking, etc.)

Do those women care about diamonds?

Pandora would not have been a company with a 75B market capitalization if it was selling niche luxury goods. LVMH is only 4x its size.
A general life pro tip is before buying anything expensive, check the resell value. If there is no second hand market, then it's a consumable. Aim to minimise all consumption. The cost of owning something is the depreciation and the insurance policy you take out on it (or just accept the risk). The cost of owning a $10k diamond is likely to be far, far higher than the cost of owning a $10k violin, for example.

Not married (yet), but I gave my SO an "engagement iPad".

It was around what you would expect an engagement ring to cost you in this region of the world, the lens cover is made out of sapphire crystal so the jewelry aspect is there, and should I perish in an accident the resale value should give her 2-3 months of runway assuming she moves in with my family, considering we have an infant daughter.

On top of that she very much enjoys the practical aspect of this gift.

I would expect there to be a gender difference in the US, due to the social influence of marketing. But I don't think highlighting the difference would help the discussion in any way.

If the professor is making an argument that one choice is clearly the rational choice, and then highlights differences in how different groups make that choice, then they are directly implying that some groups are more irrational than others.
