Oh I believe you but as you point out we need ASAN to make Rust codebases safer too. One of the things that's helped Rust be successful is that we're able to quickly write bindings for legacy C/C++/FORTRAN code using the unsafe keyword. The last Rust codebase I worked on had about 70k unsafe lines. One day Rust will be complete and we will rewrite all the legacy code but until then we depend on the low level C tooling to provide assurances like byte-granular invalid address access trapping.

I really hate when the press releases don't actually reflect the science in the paper. In this case there are no indestructible light waves and there is no opaque material. There is simply a wavefront which passes through free space (air) and through a scattering medium (what you would probably call a translucent material) such that the relative intensity of the two images produced are the same. The phase of the light is not the same and neither is the intensity because some is absorbed and reflected by the scattering medium.
It might be different for chess, simply because chess is theoretically completely solvable, but there isn’t a single endeavor in which a coach is better than the player they are coaching (or else they would still be playing!).

In fact Copernicus's theory had more epicycles than the geocentric one. It was an objectively worse theory at the time.

Yep this. It's also standard operating procedure among Bay Area tech. They're great at feel good marketing but when it comes down to actions it's all about numero uno.
Also when chess players reach those much higher levels, they usually have a team helping them out. A combination of even 2 lower ranked players can very easily be better than a single higher rated chess player.

In San Francisco a family can absolutely make do with $400k annual income, have a home, go to decent schools, put kids through college, save for retirement, etc. You wouldn't have to live in and commute from Oakland. You could still amass sufficient wealth to be considered "rich" by the time you retire. Average household income in SF is something near $135k. $400k is well well above that.

However, as I mentioned above, that same family (or even one that earns millions more) could easily put themselves into financial difficulty if they live beyond their means.

With $400k annual income you couldn't buy a single family home in the Pacific Heights neighborhood and if you had many children perhaps you couldn't afford to send them all to Harvard, but if you lived reasonably within your means you could certainly still be considered "rich".

There's quite a bit of opposition to how we do it and how those ratings were designed. For example the issue of "a city full of people evaporated but no blood is visible - good for all ages; wait, stop! there's a nipple visible for a moment - 18+"

Sorry, I messed up. I meant to write that in the first version, the copy is made by the callee. If the copy is made by the callee, then the callee can avoid a copy if it can guarantee that the caller's version of the object isn't changed before the callee uses it, and at most one copy is made.

Anyways, your intention is clear now at least. I'd be a bit worried about an ABI which might produce two copies for one parameter. It would be interesting to analyze a bunch of real-world code and see A) how often would my version create a copy, B) how often does the MS/ARM/RISC-5 version have to make a copy, C) how often would your version make a copy, and D) how often would your version require two copies.

Would also be interesting to see an analysis of code bloat due to copying parameters.

One of the first programs I wrote was the quadratic equation on my TI graphing calculator in TI basic in the mid 90s. It’s crazy these underpowered devices are still around.

I got a serial to TI cable and was able to install all kinds of fun games. A racing game. Dopewars. Those were the days.

I just downloaded Desmos on my phone and it’s what I think students should be using. Apple should make an education version of the iPod touch that just includes Desmos. That would be fun for TI ;)

You invite me to a party, I show up and say things that you find offensive. I become disruptive. You ask me to leave. Is it a moral principle that you must allow me to remain at your party and to allow me to continue to say things that you find offensive?

Your house + invitation and expectation of behaving = Private company + service they allow you to sign up for under agreement with the TOS

No company is under any obligation to continue to allow you to use their service once the invitation to their party has been revoked for you.

That’s why there needs to be a system like in passports - the rfid part is encrypted with the code printed on a card itself.

This way there is no way to decrypt RFID info unless one can see the face of the card.
Depends on a few factors in my experience, but when I had been locked out of an old email for 5 years because I knew the password but didn't own the associated phone number anymore, I had to know when my account was created (month and year), answer the security questions correctly, and know the full phone number associated with the account - and it still required a human review after a few days before I was able to reset the password (and I still had trouble changing the old phone number to my current one but I somehow managed).
In my opinion publication bias is a bigger problem than poor experimental design. Do you have opinions on how to fix that?

Dogs are established to have an acute sense of smell along with a lifestyle where they live in close proximity to human beings and communicate with them.

Most birds and pheasants in particular have don't have as well developed a sense of smell as you do and aren't liable to be within 100 yards of people for long.

Even if they could smell impending disease why would they particularly seek out a high place to announce this and how on earth would you distinguish this from a call which announced it's desire to mate or warning about predators including yourself.

Birds make noise all the time. They can't smell you from far away ergo they can't smell impending death. It's like an ink blot test any meaning you are finding is smuggled in by you.
Stuff, in modern life, is much cheaper than scheduling access to it. Anything you use for hours a week is an obvious thing to own.

Nine Hundred Grandmothers – Excerpt: The Best of R. A. Lafferty (2020)
Many programming languages do not use Meson as a build system (examples: Go, Rust, Haskell). Some C or C++ projects may use autoconf or CMake, in which case you cannot use Meson subprojects either.

Distros use `-Ddefault_library=both` or `=static`, and let Meson install the built archive files; this is what is broken in that issue. It is surprising that this flag does nothing for GTK when it works as expected for all other Meson projects.

You could copy the archive file behind the Meson install action's back, but the maintainers' point on the issue is: "GTK isn't meant to be built as a static library" and "why do you think you need a static build of GTK4?".

If they do not want to support it, there's no guarantee the .a file will still be there tomorrow. That's what "upstream support" means.
Greatest positive influence: teachers who let me skip class in elementary school (basically built and ran the school's website, handled any software issues etc.), and then teachers/admins who allowed me to opt out of math class in favor of independent study math from 7th-12th grade. Huge help in math competitions, getting a full scholarship to Caltech etc.

Book Recommendations: Free to Learn, and Children above 180 IQ, Stanford-Binet, by Leta Stetter Hollingworth

The former recommends letting children chart their own course, the latter suggests profoundly gifted children (really anyone ~160+) opt out of middle school and study something orthogonal then resume high school with their age group. (Elementary school and a good high school provide important socialization and can generally avoid being too boring; while middle school teaches nothing a bright child needs to learn, and is usually a dead-zone as far as extracurriculars or advanced coursework).

I'd avoid planting any ideas, and just let the child run with whatever interests her.

I lost my Skype account the same way. I had been using it normally when suddenly one day it automatically logged me out, then when I logged in with the correct password it insisted on sending a code to a phone number that I have long lost.
I've been playing this game for 15 years now. Somehow, it just doesn't get old.

One great DCSS tradition: whenever a new major patch is released, there's a two week long tournament. You more or less just try to win a lot, in as many ways as you can, for two weeks -- but it's more fun than it sounds, if you can believe that. For example, there's all sorts of "achievement"-like mini goals, such as "make it to level 6 of the Lair without using a potion" (approximately remembered). Between that and some other quirks, even players who aren't in the habit of winning the game can score some points for their team.

Taking a completely single player game and deciding that tournaments for it should be team-based was a minor stroke of brilliance, by the way. It's surprising how much it adds to the experience.

We may converge. Though, let's don't end up in an ideological battle. Thank you for the ride so far.

It's not about accuracy. In the original question, I've depicted a simple ladder of identity, and we both agree that the most accurate counter would be the counter of logged-in users. Anything after is by definition less accurate. In addition, the argument about adblockers is a matter of popularity and time, take, for example, the many contribs to open blocklist projects trying to blacklist the most popular privacy-focused tools. How ironic! Finally, I won't go into the GA bashing game at least out of respect for those who work on and with it, every day; an because it's out of scope here.

So what can we compare? How can we conclude? Let's focus on the very constituent of a unique/returning user metric.

It's all about semantics. We must first agree on semantic and then compare tools. And we both know what is the semantic of a unique/returning user and what cannot be.

Clearly, there is no privacy-focused tool, to the extent of my knowledge, that can or do provide a unique/returning users metric. Though, the problem is that all of them advertise the opposite, sometimes event viciously.

Any other discussion going beyond the semantic feels like I wanted orange juice; still, you provided me with a blend containing no orange while trying to either convince me that orange isn't that good or misleading me by advertising loudly that the blend contains orange.
Amazing idea.
I truly believe that most discussions about race get it all wrong. The problem is not race. The problem is culture. Different groups of people of the same race have different cultures. And it is culture, not race, that is the #1 reason for how successful people are in general. That’s why you see different groups of the same race having very different outcomes. And not just for non-whites. The “white trash/red neck” culture is very different from the “urban professional” culture. Knowing about somebody’s culture tells you a lot more about their lives than their race. Your culture is the underlying OS of how you live your life and the decisions you make.
You are exactly right in all your observations here.

I use throwaway account for a few purposes:

* People cannot trace which dumb things I talked about in the past to use ad hominem on me. I felt disgusted when attacked by ad hominem. Without chilling effect of being dug from the past, I get more freedom in expressing opinion.

* To stay anonymous in a reasonable way, in the sense of preventing people from profiling username. Reading someone posting as 'anon314' or 'throwaway2021' would feel different from someone as 'hiimelonmusk'. It would leave no remark in the back of one's mind.

A small business is never going to be able to match the variety of an online store in terms of inventory.... they simply don't get enough customers to afford to hold every single possible variety of something like an online store. An online store can have customers from all across the country (and world), so obscure items will be bought by SOMEONE more often.

A small business isn't going to hold something in inventory that only one person every 5 years wants

It shows that you can have p99<1ms with over 100k req/sec. The benchmark is bad and does not reflect Go performance at all.

Also the tool used in that benchmark ghz is also written in Go, so somehow the client is able to have high troughput and verify requests but the server can't?

So, consider passing a struct A stored in the global variable “foo” to the function “bar” in the parameter “baz”. This function makes a modification to the global “foo”. The compiler cannot know this happens and so the value of “baz” is now affected by this modification even though it should have been a copy. Zig experimented with just this and got problems. So as a solution it seems broken.
The laptop is probably on the way out for a lot of electronic music. I just got a Launchpad X to see what all the hype was about, and it's a lot of fun. The fancier Pro MK3 model can hook right up to a synthesizer. You can already get a fully independent music-making tool in the higher-end Maschine+.

I haven't played rogue/hack/nethack games in a couple of decades, so I'm out of it. But: no need to eat? That was a key part of the game (though the cannibalistic part of that was sometimes weird). Cursed items, on the other hand, were a PITA so I wouldn't miss that part.

I don't know about kibbutzim, however it seems to me that in many (most?) tribal zones such ordeals had at least a solution: some (many? most?) members were able to depart.

Confronted with some inept behavior, rule or chief... they will simply defect to another tribe (often to join other people, either defectors or individuals who departed to marry).

This was a king of regulator, as worsening internal politics progressively disbanded a tribe.

In our nations, today, that there are cases of such ordeals, and cutting chains may be more difficult or even impossible, especially for the non-affluent.

I largely agree- especially yes, we do have to fix poverty itself if we want to fix the disturbing racial skew in our justice system. However, when I think about the wars on drugs and terror, I think that they are heavily supported by xenophobia and racism. I don't think incredibly highly of the voting public in general, but it strikes me that there might be a much greater voter pushback against our foreign interventions if they were occurring in predominantly white countries, and prominently affecting white people.

I think similarly of the war on drugs. Sure, we absolutely need to fix the precursors to addiction and the things that keep it entrenched, in order to keep black people from being victimized by addiction and imprisonment at such a high rate, but isn't the fact that this obviously unjust, bastardized, and warped form of health policy is at all acceptable to many voters, partially because a lot of white voters don't see it as affecting their communities (even though it definitely does, trust me).

You can say the same thing about the basic conditions of poverty- if a huge chunk of the population did not identify the injustices faced by those who are impoverished as "black people problems", and if the other enormous chunk of americans didn't identify them as "white trash and black people problems", maybe our policies about for-profit schools, food stamps, and HUD, would look a little more promising.

I'll lay my cards on the table, I believe that most structural exploitation occurs on an economic basis, for economic reasons. I think economic class is the primary stratification that supports most of our unjust political structures. However, it is also clear to me that, at an ideological level, these unjust measures hide themselves behind racial boundaries and political borders, so they can remain palatable to those who might have the power to change them. In other words, racism wasn't a motive, but it is a hell of a shield.
