Bin Laden is one thing. But what’s the use of taking out the de facto leader of an org that will have no problem having a replacement immediately like Al-queda? It makes more sense when you’re doing a full on or strong attack like right after 9/11 or for When ISIS was brought down a ton.

I was talking about Jeffrey Epstein, Ivanka Trump, Zuckerberg, Netanyahu, Soros, Larry Ellison, Joseph Safra, and the list keeps and keeps going.

See, you listed some politicians, but many "common" people don't care about these people.

People DO care about their privacy when they are using applications that literally affect the whole planet, they DO care about pedophiles living nearby (for example whoever lived near Epstein or Maxwells), people DO care about a whole economy tanking because of corrupt shenanigans (what Safra did) and so on.

Even then you are not totally wrong, a lot of people think all north koreans are evil, because of their leadership, a lot of people think all iranians are evil, because of their leadership...

Well, in USA seemly both halves of the country believe the other half is evil because they voted for Trump or Hillary.

It's also macro heavy for something that doesn't seem like it should need to be. It's normal to need to constantly check the docs with macros, since they're their own language.

This was such a good podcast as long as you are ok with a bit of the journalists inserting their research process into things.

They went to Uganda where OneCoin was big. They had created a MLM type system there where they got the local priests to give sermons on why it was good. They interviewed people who sold their livestock - even though they didn't own a computer or cell phone so had no idea what it was - for a few hundred dollars to invest.

It was also highly marketed in the Arab world where it was marketed specifically towards people who can't invest in companies that have interest on loans.

Truly a wild scheme.
> Is anyone arguing that astrology is science

This is the standard that most apply to it, including most in this discussion.

What I'm saying is that engaging with symbols is a creative act that can be useful and participatory. A persons natal chart, if read correctly, provides a web of symbology that the reader can engage with in order to stimulate the imagination. If one comes to the chart with a question and plays with the symbols, answers can arise that are unexpected and often startling in their usefulness. This does not make the response true in an objective sense ("such and such planetary position means x") but rather, it can provide answers in a similar way that other art forms provide answers.

The difference with Astrology, however, is that the symbolic art used to engage with questions is a highly developed and extensive system, and has been refined over the millennia. A good analogy would be a psychological programming language that is thousands of years old, with libraries and coroutines that one can implement to help interpret general questions about human nature.

Trump gave/gives out his number to almost anyone, including reporters. I can't find it right now, but there is a Times article in which the author recounts how after "a reporter' (i.e., the author) left a voicemail on Trump's cell phone, the man himself called back late that night.

It's not philosophical, it is literal.

Rust macros and build.rs require build commands to be executed by the rust compiler (cargo check, for example).

These are third party tools that have been implemented to execute build commands during initialization. It's not an issue with Rust, it's an issue with the implementation of the language client and text editor allowing the client to initialize when opening a workspace.

> I think fighting the compiler for a likely-correct program in the end is a better alternative than understanding why the program failed with this given input and not with another

In my experience (having TAed a CS1 course) I think it is better for introductory students to be able to figure out what they are doing wrong, rather than having a compiler point it out to them.

In the first class, we want to focus on computational thinking and being able to then express their ideas into programs. So we intentionally use very little of the language (JS in my case), because the language is not the point of the course.

OOP and all these models of abstraction and code organisation come later, once they have a good grasp of the fundamentals.

This particular course I taught is only taken by CS freshmen, so that other commenter's remark (that we should teach a popular language) doesn't apply here.

K8S is less of an OS than systemd, and systemd is not an OS.

Then nothing isn't a systems language, and congratulation you've pasted one more word into complete meaninglessness. Thanks, but no thanks.

That's actually a very good point. I think a lot of people forgot about it (I did).

Java started very simple and then it just got enterprisy frameworks and best practices. I'm wondering how Go will look in 20 years.
That definitely plays a role, but I think the much bigger factor is how it lets anyone download & share the video file (at least by default, which most don't change). These days, half of reddit, twitter and discord is just filled with TikTok videos. Even Reels and Shorts are full of TikTok videos, you can tell by the watermark. So much so that Reels had to forcefully derank videos with the TikTok watermark on them.

This has helped Tiktok spread and grow very quickly. Hell the very link on this post is from Twitter and has almost 100k retweets...

> GP is pointing out that it is advantageous to have a single language on both front end and backend. And somehow you arrived at “developers cannot be expected to learn more than one language.”

Because he considers it a "barrier" to have to switch between languages to do backend-only changes. Which is a completely different use case than the one you're describing.

For an SPA where you're essentially doing frontend on both ends, yes, that's obviously easier when you're only doing it once.

But that's not the general case, and I'd argue that transitioning between different mental contexts for components you're not regularly touching is always going to be a hurdle to developers, regardless of the language used. Blaming it on the language is an useless red herring.
> You cannot power down or up a nuclear plant quickly and in the summer some rivers get too hot for cooling unless you want to kill all wildlife in it.

While you cannot efficiently adjust the thermal output of a nuclear plant on short notice, you can redirect the steam generated so that generators don't produce electricity. This is down somewhat regularly in Ontario; see the first group (Bruce, Darlington, Pickering):

Sometimes they're at 100% (numbers don't change), other times they go up and down depending on what the rest of the grid is doing. Nuclear delivers most of Ontario's caseload (see "Supply"), and while mostly steady there are fluctuations:

Storing pointers in a linked list also adds memory overhead, too. Insertion time in nanoseconds is only 8 bytes - same as a single pointer on 64-bits. So half the memory usage as a doubly linked list.
In the context of the words written in his yearbook, "Judge, have you boofed yet?", how could it possibly make sense to ask a 16-year-old boy if he has ever farted yet? Why even ask that question? What do you guess the answer is?

Interpreting "boof" as fart in that context makes absolutely no sense. But interpreting "boof" as ingesting drugs or alcohol though the anus is perfectly consistent with his well documented behavior.
You forgot to ask, "can you get program flow analysis on top of static analysis for free?" To which the answer is also yes.

With such definition everything is a system that's operating (doing something). With that definition the term becomes meaningless.

> Men have more teeth than women goes back to the Greeks

Men on average have more teeth than women (since hyperdontia is twice as common in men.)

But that's obviously not what the Greeks were referring to.
"Proper" astrology is way more precise than season you were born in. The 12-sun-sign newspaper astrology isn't "proper astrology," which is far more granular. E.g. my sun, moon, and mercury sign are all in Cancer, which predicts that I'm a moody ball of fluctuating emotions that turn on a whim (which is 100% accurate), and a bunch of other minutiae I forget now.

That's the weird thing: astrology done right isn't vague, broadly applicable cold-reading. The confirmation bias helps, but it's super faceted, and still manages to be right more than wrong.

Nowadays I chalk that up to something akin to the birthday paradox, plus maybe some memory construction as TFA mentions, but I've done some insanely detailed readings that were kinda spooky.

Source: was super into astrology as a teen. I had/have huge thick tomes of charts.
After I self-published my first science fiction novel, I had to do stuff to promote it. One of the ideas I had was to create a predictions website based on a "mystical warding system" which I had mentioned in the book.

One of the things I became very aware of, while working on the site, was the potential harm it could do if somebody took it even half-way seriously. I suddenly got very panicky about the consequences of claiming that "bad things might happen to you" because of some entirely fictitious "elemental flux in the aether". I went back through all the copy I'd written to add in a lot of "talk to your friends" and "go visit your doctor" advice - mostly to ease my own worries.

The website failed entirely in its main purpose, which was to promote the book. But I've kept the pages up for sentimental reasons - not many people can claim that they've invented an entire prediction system from scratch!

It's a bit of a myth that humans have only had long life in modern times. This is partially due to the calculated "life expectancy" of many eras including infant mortality where perhaps 30% of the population died at age 0.

If a quarter or half of your population is dying at age 0, then another quarter or half must likely be living into their 70s for the mean age to end up 35.
It would be amazing if there were other languages available for front-end development in the browser, no? Even if you think that JS is so wonderful, then having competition would still be good, or no? Currently JavaScript has a monopoly in the browser and monopolies are always bad. Bad for innovation and everything else.

It would be better if there were no oddities in a language. One of the reasons why everyone hates PHP is that it is full of inconsistencies, odd design choices, weird naming and unexpected behaviour. JS has at least some of these.

If there was a second of third language available in the browser, then that too could be used to develop back-end applications and would have the benefits you describe - that you can use the same language for both stacks etc. For example - if you could front-end stuff in Python, would it be amazing or bad? Or would the current JS devs just fear for their jobs because of it?
I started using it for parsing heavy files, just for the speed. Slowly I replaced Python with Nim for almost everything, even when it doesn't make much sense (e.g. for controlling Selenium), and only use Python when I need graphics (Matplotlib) or some other libraries that I cannot replace.

IMO the main case is when you need C speed but you don't want to code in C.
In your 80s you shouldn't be in volatile investments anymore. Personally I don't get the obsession with "retiring". What's wrong with working a bit here and there? As long as one has a large enough cushion there shouldn't be any pressure. If you invest smart you will have more than enough by the time you turn 60 or so.
Would comparing it to Swift be fair? At least on the memory management side.
> having a system where everything is on the same tech stack (i.e. front end in TypeScript with React, back end with TypeScript on Node) has resulted in gargantuan productivity gains

How so? Is it just about being able to use a single set of tools, libraries, habits, etc? Or are there particular things which are easier when the language is common? Are you sharing code between front-end and back-end.

I do very lightweight front-end coding these days. It's usually some variation on populating and updating a table from a websocket, maybe with some simple filtering and toggling in response to user interaction. There, i can't think of any particular advantage to having both ends in the same language, but then mine is quite an unusual use case.
COVID had some some circunstances that helped becoming so widespread.

It takes several days for someone to caught it to develop symptoms, if ever.

It happened at a moment in time and place with very high connectivity with the rest of the world

You have far less odds of having severe symptoms (specially in the main/original variants), if any, if you are young enough. That is a good age for international travel (and spreading) and to not not care about consequences for others.

And, last but not least, the influence of social networks and agents on them, that denied that the disease was a risk, that people should not take measures, and now that you should not vaccinate. And conspiracy theories, of course.

It may be better than Go but I don't see how it is comparable to Rust. Rust's biggest selling point is compilation-checked memory and thread safety guarantee without garbage collection. Nim instead uses a garbage collector, or a reference counter similar (but deterministic) to Swift which can cause memory leaks, or manual memory management.
Just a side note but in a place like the UK you don't get to "see another doctor" for a second opinion (unless you go private) without moving to a different surgery altogether. Usually if you even so much as question the opinion of your GP you will get ostracized and mocked. Asking to see a different one in the same surgery will leave you getting questioned by the receptionist as to why you would ever want to do that and if you do somehow manage to get an appointment with a different GP they will likely have been informed that you've moved to them from another GP in the practice and will treat you like a nagging hypochondriac.

I have an endless number of terrible experiences with UK GPs and few good experiences.

When I was 8 I started getting headaches. These headaches got worse and worse until I was hitting my head against the wall and the metal bedposts of my bed to give me pain to distract from the headache. My mother took me from GP to GP getting a record at the local surgery for being quite a pest trying to get a GP who would do something about it instead of claiming that it's normal for an 8 year old kid to get debilitating headaches and that I was just acting or that I just needed to get given paracetamol.

A year or two later I had flat feet which caused me immense pain while walking long distances. Going to the GP it took my mother's begging and another GP change before they decided to give me a referral to a specialist (previously one GP said that I just needed to take paracetamol and if that didn't work take ibuprofene as well, which my mother tried until I started getting pains in my abdomen which I assume must have been my liver or stomach complaining). The specialist immediately noticed that I did in fact have flat feet and needed inserts in my shoes to correct this. The inserts immediately stopped the pain from happening and a few months later I could walk without inserts.

When a lot of front-line doctors (at least in my experience) avoid taking on the responsibility of making any kind of diagnosis or even getting you to a specialist I can totally see why people who privately go directly to someone who has at least a little bit of specialization find the results to be a lot better.
