The problem is that the government is very limited in its levers over society. There's the financial - taxes, subsidies, fines, grants. There's freedom curtailment - prison, compulsory community service, restraining orders, use of military force. There's "soft marketing" - PSAs, presidential speeches, all forms of information war.

These sound big and scary but they are blunt. There is no government equivalent of the kind of precise, directed, powerful social pressure that your friends and family can apply. The government can't sit down and tell you, in a serious tone, that you acted like a complete turd when you got too drunk last night and if it happens again you won't be invited over anymore. There's no substitute for social fabric.

But social fabric doesn't scale. It doesn't scale with the intensity of the problem - once someone's hooked on heroin, you can't shame them back out of it. And it doesn't scale with size, either - community identity doesn't work at city sizes. Why should someone care what you think, if they'll never see you again?

So this leaves us in a position where people see drug-related problems and feel powerless to stop them. Something must be done. And the only available thing - it seems - is the blunt instrument of the law. And hey, maybe that causes other problems - worse problems, even! But something is being done, at least.
I think a distribution similar to Gentoo, where the software is compiled at install time, could do something like this.

Absolutely possible, with source distribution. It keeps downloads small, and upgrades (notionally) transparent. The downsides are that it's computationally expensive on the user end, in addition to storage bloat. Does the latest firefox depend on the latest llvm? Depending on how awful your hardware is, you might wait a day for those two packages to build.

Here's a radical idea: except for drugs with a high abuse-liability, all psychoactive medications could be allowed "behind the counter" like pseudoephedrine. The psychiatrist's role becomes strictly advisory (coupled with medical malpractice waivers), and the patient is free to experiment with whatever substance they like so as to find their best fit. People already "self-medicate" for focus and arousal with xanthines in coffee and chocolate, and for anxiety with anxiolytics like gabanergic ethanol in alcohol and partial serotonin agonist cannabidiol in cannabis. This is just opening the floodgates a bit more for those who aren't afraid to learn about psychopharmacology and work closely with their doctor in managing their mood and attention.

If this sounds crazy or spurious, then you'll probably agree that fixing abnormal psychology is actually as complicated as debugging the world's most complex software system.
They probably meant "doesn't".

If it is in error, I am curious how much work it would take to get that perjury result though.
The virus uses our immune system against us. Think Aikido using your opponent's strength, or a gravity assist for interplanetary flight. A modern virus attack is higher order, which is what makes designing vaccines so hard. Screw up, and you're just helping the virus. Early variants of COVID-19 were hardest on the old in part from weakness, but in part because of a well-developed immune system to target.

Anyone who's been to India can see that even the young have robust immune systems. Virus variants have finally dialed this in.

People have been vacillating on this forever and the truth is... (drum roll) It depends.
I'm not so sure.

Look at the European market: manual gears everywhere. Look at the UK, South African and Autraslian market: the car is inversed, with the wheel on the right.

The car market seems way different than the phone market. It's not an information platform, it moves matter. It's not virtual, it's real. It's not luxury like the phone used to be, people life depends on it already. It's not a free market, but heavily regulated.

And a car is very, very expensive. Second hand is a huge thing. You don't replace your car every 2 years. The market for maintenance and service is it's own industry, and the state is deep in it. Not to mention the the huge quantity of material you need just to build one car.

Finally, if a car fails, a BSOD becomes quite literal.

Completely agreed. I'd love to see Google (and let's get Twitch in there as well, while we're at it) working with content creators to push for legal change. To me, that's what's most disappointing: Google will spend millions on lobbying to legally collect more and more information about me; but, they don't have the inclination to use their size and scale to push a significant expansion of Fair Use Doctrine (or, if they do, they certainly aren't vocal about it).

> as opposed to finding every application that uses the library and updating each separately.

Now with Docker, it becomes, find all the Docker containers that have that shared library, which may even be a bigger pain.

Not all uses, but it seems as if a significant use of Docker is just a a very complicated replacement for a single statically linked binary.
How were they able to achieve this?
About 10 minutes. 1-2 minutes to refresh a docker container, ~2 minutes to build a mostly C codebase in the docker container, ~5 minutes to build a bunch of python environments and run unit tests in them. 3 or so minutes due to bad design choices in Gitlab-CI. Project has around 100k loc.

I think we could get it down to 3 minutes or so if we changed some things, but 10 minutes vs 3 minutes doesn't really change the workflow for us.
We are desensitized to all the simplistic silly intuitions that are reinforced by Christianity.

Like the idea that good and evil are one dimensional opposite things that you can sort of add up to decide if your life is ok.

Or the idea that there's a point where you can stop looking for evidence and faith without sufficient evidence is a virtue.

Or that there's some ideal of bodily health since we are made in Gods image and deviations from that ideal are evil.

Or the idea that you can do evil without doing harm, or you can do good by doing plenty of harm.

Or a huge number of other false reasoning patterns that we are almost slaved to because we allow millenia old myths to pollute our thinking.

But they dislike just packages requiring different versions of libraries, right? My point is to do literally everything as it is right now, but simply link it statically. You can still have the same version of a library across all packages, you just build a static library instead of a dynamic one.

Cars should not be connected to internet, period. If you want some component to be able to be part of the car and connected, it should be hardware that is physically not linked to the car system itself in any way.

And you should not be able to issue OTA without some manual hardware operation, like turning a key somewhere that is far from the wheel.

this really feels like one of those roundabouts that CS/IT does.

"every program the system runs depends on library foo, so why is this loaded into memory x times? Let's load it once and share it"

"there are 10 versions of library foo, none of them are backwardly compatible. Every application loads its own version of foo. There are now at least 5 versions of foo in memory at once. Why is the OS trying to manage this? We should statically link every application and stop worrying about it"

This has already gone back and forth at least once since I started working in the industry.
I mean that's basically how it works right now:

PeerTube.com is not "PeerTube themselves". This is one of the servers, not the best one. This is the official PeerTube website: https://joinpeertube.org. It will show search results on many servers.

You only choose your server once, like you chose Youtube once. You do not need to jump through hoops.

PeerTube (actually FramaSoft) is a non-profit organization. You shouldn't expect huge resources from them. Also peertube.com is not their server AFAIK.

Optimal virulence is kinda bullshit with rapidly evolving things on small timescales...

Sure, if a mutation that makes it give deadly miocarditis 50% of the cases pops up, that strain would have a clear evolutionary disadvantage ...but if a strain that gives 2x worse pneumonia (and maybe a 2x death rate, that overall is still low) with 4x more coughing evolve, it will have an evolutionary advantage, more caughing => more virus in the air etc.

So you absolutely can have viruses evolving towards increased lethality, as long as people infected with the new strain spread the virus more and don't die too soon... you won't get to smth. evolving its way to 80% lethality, but it can very well evolve from <1% to ...50% (scary!).

The whole optimism about patterns of viral evolution is 100% wrong, unless you're thinking at very large timescales, and in environments where humans have not added so many accelerator factors!
Time that Linux suckless right?
It depends on the language. Perhaps Haskell will not need such comment at all.

In C++, at the very least the preconditions X and Y, as well as the invariant Z, will usually not be apparent from the function signature. Whether the argument is modified? That's usually clear from the use of const... except when it isn't, e.g. because the function is a universal-reference template, or some C compat thing that must use bare pointers because reasons.

In JavaScript, you won't even know Foo, Bar and Quux, unless someone puts it in the function name.

The primary benefit of such comments is to encode enough information that isn't obvious from the signature, that you don't need to read the actual implementation. It's particularly useful if you're using an editor or IDE that can pull signature comments and show them during auto-completion - it saves you from constantly jumping into other places in the codebase, just to verify if you're picking the correct function for the task.

> Society disagrees with you, and they get to choose what words mean.

Lol. Society disagrees with you. Vast majority of people knows racism mean intentional. "Systemic racism" is just a political jargon throw around by one side of politics.

> People say this, but I have noticed a strong correlation between people understanding what the words "systemic racism" means and understanding a lot about how these systems operate.

If you really understand how the systems operate, you would have known the biggest issue with Black Americans is more than 70% single parenthood of Black kids.

"In the Harlem neighborhood of New York City in 1925, 85 percent of kin-related black households had two parents.[15] When Moynihan warned in his 1965 report on the coming destruction of the black family, however, the out-of-wedlock birthrate had increased to 25% among the black population.[12] This figure continued to rise over time and in 1991, 68% of black children were born outside of marriage.[16] U.S. Census data from 2010 reveal that more African-American families consisted of single mothers than married households with both parents.[17] In 2011, it was reported that 72% of black babies were born to unmarried mothers.[11] As of 2015, at 77.3 percent, black Americans have the highest rate of non-marital births among native Americans.[18]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American_family_struct...

Unfortunately, people like to throw "systemic racism" around are the same people try their best to avoid addressing the real issue here.

Losing a third of your staff in one day over something that started off as a list of customer names counts as astoundingly bad management by any measure.
