How so? There is way more stuff to do in the city, than in rural Ohio (for example), friendliness is very subjective, if you are "one of them" then yes, they will be nice to you, if you look different, then things change. More space? duh, there is a reason no one wants to live there. Less people == less crime and violence (most of the time). Less noise, yeah, thats true.
This one is easy enough, I went ahead and cut it down to 400ms from 1000ms.

The only reason it isn't instantaneous is because I'm regenerating everything in the iframe each time, as my initial goal was to just take the resultant HTML and paste it as a page on my personal site.

If it was part of the same document (not in a frame) it would be a vue component and update automatically/instantly.
In javascript I sometimes break up the behaviour of a large function by putting small internal functions inside it. Those internal functions often have side effects, mutating the state of the outer function which contains them.

I find this approach a decent balance between having lots of small functions and having one big function. The result is self contained (like a function). It has the API of a function, and it can be read top to bottom. But you still get many of the readability benefits of small functions - like each of the internal methods can be named, and they’re simple and each one captures a specific thought / action.

I agree with you guys. I have been coding in Julia for 2 years and very little has happened in tooling. For example, the graphical profiler is buggy. I love the language though. Hoping things will change!
Peloton has a pretty good moat in the form of a huge stable of talented instructors. I personally use a non-Peloton DIY solution, but it is inferior in real ways.
My wild guess is it reduces the amount of privileged code. In Linux the entire kernel (all 20 million lines of it), can do what it damned well pleases, and auditing 20M lines of code is mission impossible. You could think of it in terms of Windows/OSX/Linux Distro vs Android / iOS / WinPhone. In the former, this is nothing stopping one application stomping over anothers data. The result has been endless uninstallable viruses and malware. The latter force complete almost isolation between applications. What interaction does happen occurs over interfaces that are very heavily policed by the OS (think: is generally doesn't happen without the user giving some permission). The result has been a revolution: almost no one bothers with anti virus software on the phone OS's any more, and any malware you do install can be uninstalled with the click of a button.

Fuschsia, being a micro kernel, puts each functional unit (device driver, network protocol driver, file system, crypto functions, yada yada) into its own isolated process, so the damage a rogue function unit can do is more limited. Interaction between functional units must happen via the Fuschsia kernel (they can't talk directly), and surprise surprise Fuschsia heavily polices those interactions using the "capabilities" provided by the kernel. Capabilities are are very similar to user assigned permissions.

That seems obvious and attractive, but keeping those processes isolated and policing those permissions incurs a overhead, or perhaps more accurately the cost of communication between two isolated processes is much higher than non-isolated (think processes communicating with pipes vs memory sharing threads). In Linux that overhead is still visible as the syscall overhead, which is large enough that high performance applications go out of their way to avoid it. io_uring is another attempt to avoid it. Microkernels multiplies that overhead by many times. Possibly worse, that overhead is getting worse with the advent of spectre like cache timing attacks forcing cache's to be invalidated on a context switch.

In my very brief look at Fuschsia is looked refreshingly clean, small and well thought out. But then all many projects do. Sadly it started like as a C++ code that is now moving towards (as in is now 50%) Rust. To be true to it's safety goals it should all be Rust. And it doesn't seem to bring much new stuff to the table. seL4 has been in the same space for the same reasons for years how. So I don't see how Fuschsia's introduction will change the basic equation that's lead to the dominance of monolithic kernels.

What both seL4 and Fuschsia both desperately need is some magical hardware solution to "isolated process communication" overhead, one that also addresses spectre. Mind you, if a way to isolate code with bugger all overhead came along, it's so attractive I suspect they would be in a race with the existing monolithic kernels to exploit it.
I’ve only talked to a handful of former party members.

What I did find is that those whose families were poor had most praise for socialist and condemnation for the return to poverty after 89. Freedom from poverty, hunger, homelessness, ignorance are important.

Former gentry, small business owners and fascists did hate socialism, indeed. The freedom to exploit others was what they wanted.

>Is that good enough direct evidence for scientists pressuring the global discourse against a lab leak?

No, because your accusation wasn't that they simply impacted global discourse. Your accusation was that they maliciously silenced discourse as an effort to avoid their own personal culpability. Where is the evidence for that?

All four facts you list are circumstantial and you even admit that one of them wasn't truly known at the time this theory was first being popularized. To repeat myself, I don't think it is unreasonable to want more than that before leveling these accusations, especially when it is known ahead of time that some people will use your "questions" to support their own political and anti-scientific motives.
The problem is that groups have been raising it for a year (mentioned in the article). Google have structures / policies in place to avoid things like this appearing on the radar of those who make policy. Therefore any screw up is nobodies fault and they can keep banking the cheques.
"Suicide attempt admissions have increased by 100 per cent on average during the pandemic," the release says. "Admissions for substance-use disorders have increased by 200 per cent."

While that's not the same as saying actual deaths from suicide have increased, there is a serious problem, at least here in Canada.

I suggest the builder may have suffered from some motivated reasoning.

Concrete not starting to decay until 50 years has passed is the exception, not the rule.
In the context of building materials that's not a good thing
> Unix is still a good fit for a kernel; e.g. it is used by Apple.

The POSIX APIs are not a good basis for designing a kernel. There are plenty of areas where it's widely agreed that the APIs are fundamentally utter garbage: POSIX signals, filesystem ACLs, async I/O, select, IPC. Arguably even some of the more less garbage APIs (e.g., regular filesystem calls) are extremely detrimental towards writing good software--imagine if we had filesystem APIs based on semantics such as "atomic file write" or "append-only files" (that guaranteed that a reader would only see old or new versions, not partly-written versions) instead of what we have now, where people attempt to recreate those APIs in userspace.
It's an aside, but it's worth remembering that mathematics was not humanity's first attempt at explaining reality. For a very long time we tried to explain it using will. There were a multitude of beings, all with their own different motivations, and they could be angry, or happy or jealous or any other emotion, and it was these feelings of theirs that guided their actions and explained how everything came to happen.
Krispy Kreme is gross.
> Reinforced concrete seems to do exactly what it's intended to do for the designed life of that intent

Until there's apparently "no money" to replace the structure after its design life time. Thinking in decades of life span for many of these structures is very short sighted. I think the article mostly gets that across i.e. re-enforced concrete is hard to recycle and their life span is often within that of a human life. We should be able to do better and create large scale structures that can not only serve a purpose over several life times, but can be added to or enhanced rather than demolished.

The only reason we keep building these time limited structures is because building codes still allow this, which leads to easy short term profits, and it's "someone else's problem in 50-60 years time". There's no incentives.

I want to explicitly distance myself from your comment. Did you forget an /s-tag?
Oh definitely. And then there are performance considerations, where there are few guarantees and nobody even knows how to create an implementation-independent abstraction boundary.
> The maker world is far more interesting today than in 1985.

I think you missed the meaning of the word "market". The parent was commenting on the economics of the maker's market and you were talking simply about the proliferation and innovation of today vs history.

> which maybe sucks for the industry but is fantastic for the hobbyists of limited means.

Agreed. Which is what makes you both probably right.
Steam is older, so it's had time to grow the feature set that it needs, but it's not fundamentally different. Valve Software was a company that released games, before branching out into the much more profitable business of intermediating.
I agree with what you are saying here, but it doesn't change the fact that people like Pompeo were clearly trying to shift a greater percentage of the blame from the US to China and the lab origin theory was part of that effort.

Its just capitalism, and capitalism is arbitrary and cruel.

> If built correctly this could be huge, hopefully they don't release it naked and prepare some partnership with studios to release games built for it on release day (linux)

In my opinion the easy way for them to do that would be for them to help developers get the open source Steam games ported.

For the huge sales yes, but it's not for nothing. They are pouring 10s of millions into NFTs as a land grab in a potential new economy. If they lose it, nbd, since they have "fuck you" money anyway.
Curating issues in one gallery. Art like this, and found objects, early 20th century surrealist sculptures and montages, the ready-made, are a nightmare of differential ageing effects. Not unlike Da Vinci's experiments with paints, or Victorian use of bitumen brown, art doesn't always last as well as we want.

I found the artists shit quite moving. We would literally kill for verified DNA from Leonardo or Michaelangelo, think of the impact on provenance checks.

Personally I prefer the fur teacup set, or the lobster telephone.

I haven't gone through the data myself, and maybe someone else already mentioned this, but I am not sure whether "excess deaths" takes into account lifespan. It has been roughly 70 to 80 years since "baby boomers" were born; based on common lifespans, wouldn't it be expected to have a "death boom" around this time?
Big advantage of using new lines over record separators is that you can use standard unix command line tools. Can get a long way with grep | jq | sort | uniq pipelines.
Here's the thing though. That doesn't matter.

Whether it's malicious or not, Google created this ecosystem where you need to process and serve a bazillion ads to compete with them, if they're unable to properly vet those ads it's on them to scale back to a size where they can properly vet them.

If this was a one-off issue then sure - but Google runs a lot of really slimy advertisements.
And I don't want to live in a world where the government gets to tell me what websites I can visit, so that I can be jailed inside of a bubble which is government approved media.

If a shop owner tells a gay customer "I don't believe you about actually wanting [the product / service]", how do we know if the shop owner has legitimate reason to think this or just doesn't like gay people?

I'm not a legal expert, but I'm guessing that there would be need to be clear evidence of harassment from the customer (or something of that sort) in order for the shop owner to be able to refuse service.

Otherwise, any asshole could get around discrimination laws by simply claiming they don't think customer the actually wants the product. That would be a terrible situation.

Right, actual sale prices range $300-$800 per acre for many failed Southwestern (NM, CO, AZ, southeastern CA, probably UT and Eastern OR but I'm less knowledgeable in that area) suburban developments. Often they are picked up by sketchy flippers who sell them to poorly informed buyers at "highly inflated" rates of say $3000 seller financed (e.g. $99 down, $50 per month on terms sometimes as long as 30 years). Searching "land investment" will turn up a bunch of these. While described as "near town" they are often over an hour out with poor access and no utilities. Ironically the tax assessed value on these is usually more in line with actual valuation as they have seen zero or negative price change over time.

Perhaps this is different in other parts of the country, I've just never heard of a tax sale running that quickly. Typically in the city here it takes a decade or more, especially if the ownership situation is at all complex.

I recently installed Windows 10 (with generated serial number, which I felt a bit bad about until I discovered that the OS is so embarrassingly bad!) inside VirtualBox so that I could run Mandelbulber3D.

Context: I started with DOS 1.0, eagerly anticipated Windows 3.0, was the master of Windows 3.1, dropped it all the first time I was in front of a battered monochrome Wyse terminal attached to a Unix system, and never looked back.

The Win10 installation process was excruciating. Later, I realized Cortana was probably trying to talk to me through this process... but at no point did the installation ask me whether or not I could hear it. I think that sums it up nicely, but I'll continue: it was a tone-deaf but obsequious, servile system. "Now we are doing X, which will take some time...". Even after the installation, configuring things was a maze of guessing what to click on and suddenly feeling like I was dropping back in time to things I saw in w95. Backwards compatibility of software and user understanding is a tarpit. Sucks to be you, Microsoft.

I could only conclude that the only reason Windows still exists is that so many applications depend on it.

Who cares if it's stable? It's just plain shitty.

There are already many NFT marketplaces across a range of blockchains. Depending on who you ask, it may be considered poor form to mint the same token on multiple chains.

It would be like a print artist selling multiple editions of what they claim to be a limited 1/1 print run (nothing is stopping print artists from doing this now besides integrity & social contracts - it could devalue their work).

I think you have a valid point but did you experience the "friction free" experience of walking into an electronics store idly and then walking out with all of the parts to build a project that afternoon? Most mixed HW/SW hackers accumulate a "stash" of components, and from that stash one can sometimes build new projects, but for me, there is a huge impediment when I have 90% of the parts and then have to wait for the last part for a week (well I can get it in a couple of days if I pay $30 in shipping).

And the difference, for me, between user hosted content (Github and Youtube), and a magazine is that the magazine also has an editor who both made sure the article was clear and for the better magazines perhaps built the project themselves to see how it worked. There is a ton of content from people who don't know what they are doing which obscures the content from people who do. It can be frustrating for people starting because there are so many variables. Did I build it wrong? Did they describe it correctly? Did I miss a step that was obvious to the writer but not me? You get a few projects that fail and you get disillusioned.

A good example of this is a high school kid I helped who was convinced they sucked at soldering because it never worked for them like it did on youtube. Except they were using silver solder "because that is what the hardware store had." Hmmm? Obvious to someone who was taught soldering by someone who knew how to solder, but not obvious when the content creator assumes everyone knows how to solder and what solders are used, so leaves that out of their presentations.

Don't get me started on Kickstarter :-) It has put more people into bankruptcy than MLM in my opinion. When you don't know what you don't know, how can you possibly predict how much money you need to deliver a random number of units of your idea?

Solid, curated, material for new people and advanced people. The stuff magazines used to provide, has made things more difficult rather than less difficult. And it is my opinion that this is at least part of the problem with declining STEM capabilities of students these days.
Orwell addressing his inner contradictions:
'I have no particular love for the idealized ‘worker’ as he appears in the bourgeois Communist’s mind, but when I see an actual flesh-and-blood worker in conflict with his natural enemy, the policeman, I do not have to ask myself which side I am on.'
Surely that'd be an insultingly small amount to receive as cash? (Maybe that was your point? 'And then realise it doesn't show that much gratitude after all'?)
Oh I agree, but a person who won't take the time to update documentation after a significant change, certainly isn't going to refactor the code such that the method name matches the updated functionality. Assuming they can even update the name if they wanted to.

After all, documentation is cheap. If you're going to write a commit message, why not also update the function docs with pretty much the same thing? "Filename parameter will now use S3 if an appropriate URI is passed (i., filename='s3://bucket/object/path.txt'). Note: doesn't work with path-style URLs."
'Early' websites [0] were very linear, text-heavy affairs. They still had images, of course, just a pretty basic 'full width, top to bottom' layout. Authors quickly realised you could abuse tables for layout, but rudimentary alternatives used frames. They just relied on default styles. Next time you're working on a site, just drop the stylesheet. That. That's what sites looked like.

[0] I'm talking mid-late nineties here. I don't know, off the top of my head, what level of CSS support or style-in-html support there was, I'm just talking about very hazy memories of what they looked like.
The areas in the DRC where these precious metals are mined were already fraught with violence. Artisanal mining draws local militias who in turn prey upon the farmers/miners living in the region. I agree the media seems to be targeting companies associated with "digital minerals" but it could be due to the absolute level of suffering that is found in the area. Or, more likely, "slave children" mining for phones resonates with viewers more than "slave children" sewing your T-shirts. I mean, hearing about the exploitation of children in the textile industry is not that exciting anymore. Or, chocolate... Or....
I think the usual argument is more along the lines of: Google's greed prevents them from putting the proper controls in place to prevent these sorts of abuses of the system, because those controls would cost too much. Not so much that any particular specific instance of abuse is particularly profitable.

I was responding to the nonsensical and incorrect argument about the makeup of the court that decided Heller.

A militia is made up of ordinary citizens. It’s armaments are those of its members. It’s not a separate body. For it to be in working order, the populace are the ones that need to be armed and their right to bear those arms must not be infringed.

Note that the militia angle is merely an additional reasoning for why those rights exist. It’s an example, not a precondition.
I wish all of this wasn't true. Is there some sort of archive for YouTube ads? It would be very helpful right now.
Yes, this and Bitcoin both feel like pyramid schemes.

There is a lot of initial investment from top-tier people who convince others to invest (by showing eye-popping returns) and drive more investment. Soon the people on the top-tier gradually cash out and eventually it's the common people who lost their hard-earned money.
