Unless you are living in a developing country, the answer to the second question should be "yes".
Citizenship does not imply loyalty to a government. I live in the UK and would fully support anyone rescuing Assange and everyone else in a similar situation, as long as they do it carefully and don't start a war.
Do you keep something like topic pages in your personal wiki or how do you keep track of these? Just really quick and efficient searching when you remember something has been discussed before?

I don't think any code sensitive enough to performance to warrant SVE instructions will want to tolerate a jump in a very tight loop.
Having 1 in 25 buildings being completely rebuilt at all times and another 1 in ~5 getting renovations is extremely annoying.

I think buildings that are too regularly under construction should carry some tax penalties, instead renovating non-durable buildings to tastelessness is a way to save on property taxes, get tax deductions and try to pressure tenants out to get the latest upscale rates.
There is no way to know other than to ask the architect. You can make educated guesses but that still won't tell you. Even then it's up to the contractors to have done everything properly.

Or if it's made of stone. Stacking giant stones on top of each other is a sure-fire way to make a building outlive you.

After that, the longest-lived buildings that I am aware of are made of wood. The catch is they've been rebuilt 50 times, once per time they burned to the ground.

After those, the longest-lived buildings are made of Roman concrete that we can't reproduce. (To give you an idea how insane Roman concrete was, you can go kayaking north of Naples, and kayak through a concrete Roman building that is sitting on piles in the Mediterranean sea)
I think the point you and a lot of other commenters make is that applying hard and fast rules without referring to context is simply wrong. Surely if all we had to do was apply the rules, somebody would have long ago written a program to write programs. ;-)
> What happens in the ensuing power vacuum?

What a heck is that "power vacuum?" I never managed to comprehend the mechanics of Western thought process arriving to that philosophical concept.

> It also sends a very strong message to Putin that the US may not want to send

You want to send this message. You want Putin to be intimidated, and scared, and not laughing at you in the face.

Very massive intimidation. Gaddafi's intimate encounter with a bayonet type of one.

It will be also a message of unity, for the world to see that the West can still Desert Storm any Hitler wannabe like was in time when the West was big, and menacing, and not the other way around.

The contractor I used on a remodel spoke of carbon fiber reinforced concrete, which I googled, and it's called "carboconcrete". It is described as, "a highly stressable lightweight composite construction that combines special fine grain ultra high-strength concrete and carbon fibers."

That's very cool and I'm waiting for it but the usable Common Lisp based editors are Lem and LispWorks:

https://github.com/lem-project/lem/ supports CL, Python, C, Rust, CSS, Go, HTML, Java, JS, Nim, OCaml… (see the modes/ directory), it has a directory mode (à la dired) and it seems to support LSP (I only tried it for CL so far). It is very much Emacs inspired, but is lacking documentation and self-documentation features :( There is Lem-OpenGL ! https://github.com/gregcman/lem-opengl

The most functional, feature-complete, proven editor is the LispWorks IDE: http://www.lispworks.com/ A review: https://lisp-journey.gitlab.io/blog/discovering-the-lispwork... It's proprietary. The free version has annoying limitations. It is written with the portable CAPI framework. It has an excellent graphical stepper.

And, you might not know, but popular editors are getting good to very good support for CL now, at last. SLIMA for Atom nearly reaches feature parity with Slime (it doesn't have a stepper). For VSCode, see Alive. There's a Jupyter kernel, an Eclipse plugin and more. https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/editor-support.ht...

A - The concept of present value isn't a problem, it's more like a fact, derived from the time value of money. It's like saying gravity is a problem.

B - Construction is resource intensive, no doubt about it. Without this technique the costs and resources would go up, double?, more? Many structures we take for granted, like freeway overpasses, would be impossibly expensive.
I agree that unchecked latency (no matter how imperceptible) can sour or perception of an instrument's playability. That said, latency of 3ms is very attainable so long as your interface isn't a decade old. That's a very usable speed.

Software instruments are usually about as quick as you'd ever need them to be (no latency). So just make sure your audio buffer is set low (32 - 128 samples) and that you're not doing any heavy DSP processing that's going to add extra latency.

It takes some vigilance to do and it can be a pain in the ass to manage when you're trying to play the instrument in a CPU intensive session, but if you do it right you'll only get latency at the output stage (3ms).

I'd love to hear more about this. Sounds like the GHE model?
Software is to alchemy what software engineering is to chemistry. Software engineering hasn't been invented yet. You need a systematizing scientific revolution (Kuhn style) before you can or should create a regulatory body to enforce it. Otherwise you're just enforcing your particular brand of alchemy.
CPUs are not people. CPUs voting for blocks of transactions is in no way people having political power over the system. Even at the time, systems with hundreds of thousands of CPUs were operating, so even if voting for transactions were something akin to deciding on how to organize society, which it isn't, letting IBM outvote whole states is not democracy, it's oligarchy.

Again, I don't think we have even vaguely similar definitions of what democracies are.
I spoke with a builder, and the concrete starts to decay in 50 years. Until then it's like new. It lasts much longer than that, 100+ years is not a problem.
The classic problem is similar to that of that other famous future-proof thing: wifi in hotels. All the fancy hotels that got high-end wifi in the 2000s had shitty Internet for a long time because it was too hard to redo.

Sometimes, building to throw away is the best model. If something is so resource intensive in a way where the externalities are not appropriately mitigated, the right way is to tax the externalities, not to go after specific things.

If these builds were too expensive to build, they wouldn't be built.
Well if you hang Free Software's hopes entirely on the Linux kernel, or the Linux kernel doesn't mature to the point where it isn't the hall monitor for everyone's code quality, then that might be what happens.

Darwin might be knocking. Evolve or die.

(And its a bit weird that the Linux kernel is so centralized with a cabal lead mostly by one dude who yells at everyone on the planet about their shitty driver code quality. If you're at all Libertarian or libertarian, that should probably bug you a bit that Free Software picked that as the ideal model.)
Depends on what you mean by "well for the acquired company". But if you just mean where the product (or possibly even the brand) went on to be successful, a bunch jump to mind: Pixar, Marvel, Google Maps, Ring, Zappos, Android, Woot!, Gatorade.
Guessing at "the problem" before reading the piece, I figured it would be that it's weak in tension. Not quite what they said, but that does happen to be the reason you need rebar in the first place.

Concrete however does an excellent job of externalizing its costs: into the atmosphere, forward through time, and onto other people. So it will remain popular so long as those remain the expressed values of society.

Edit: Awww, boo hoo!
I have considered this but it seems too inconvenient. A cafe doesn’t seem like a great place to work unless it’s consistently quiet and mostly empty so you aren’t taking a table an actual customer could have. The library seems like the next best place after home but it doesn’t seem to provide a whole lot of value over just working from home since I have a pretty good setup there.

Currently my current and ideal situation is working from home 3-4 days a week and then coming in at the end of the week. Those in office days might be less productive but they do provide enough social interaction for the week.
The patch described on the vulnerability page worked 1-to-1 for in two nginx versions I fixed. But in nginx 1.20 in ./src/core/ngx_resolver.c the second replacement does not match the existing if (len == -1){contents} and I had to remove some extra bits based on what seemed right it manually.

The dumbest thing about them in my haven't-been-bothered-to-so-much-as-search-for-them understanding (first and only really heard about them from Matt Levine's Money Stuff column) is that.. I can represent a painting or whatever as md5sum, sha256sum, anything else sum; take the photo again or compress it first?

Unless I really should read up on it because I'll be blown away, just seems like any uniqueness necessarily hinges entirely on hoe you choose to encode a thing, which is arbitrary, meaningless, and pointless?

But then, I haven't made any money from it, people have, what do I know.
People say this all the time about every company. For many this is true, when seen from the narrow perspective of an individual. However for the only metric that people care about (stock price and profit) Google’s system is incredibly successful. Higher ups will not dictate changes like this if the company is successful. Culture change at the macro level only happens when the company is spiraling at the macro level.
Given how long it took to figure out that zero exists I don’t think it is natural, or at least a lot less natural than 1, 2, etc.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_ancient_numeral_sys...: “Abstract numerals, dissociated from the thing being counted, were invented about 3100 BC”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0#History: “By 1770 BC, the Egyptians had a symbol for zero in accounting texts”

That’s over a thousand years, and that’s only the use of zeroes as a placeholder inside numbers. The use of a lone ‘zero’ symbol for the number zero seems to have taken over 2,000 more years (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahmagupta#Zero)
I'm not trying to defend Google here but could it be the case that they're simply not aware of the issue, or rather the issue didn't reach the appropriate people within the organisation who can get these ads removed?

I don't know how much Google is profiting from the Belarusian government, but unless it's a lot, I doubt Google would actively try keeping these ads. If it is a lot of money, that's indeed a data point which supports the theory that they're acting out of greed.

The above of course doesn't excuse Google's mismanagement of the situation, but doing something bad out of incompetence is a different kind of failure (with different remedies necessary) than doing the same out of greed.

Yes, why wouldn’t you be able to repair replace parts of a building? You cut out the bad parts while reinforcing structural elements temporarily while the replacement work is performed, then you remove the temp supports.

New footings, beams, walls, etc are constructed or installed to replace old ones all the time.

Say you have a bad concrete footing for a post. You use jacks to support the beam on both sides of the post that sits on the footing, remove the post, remove the footing, pour a new footing, and then put a new post in and remove the beam jacks.
It's a coating, but my understanding is that it basically creates a battery that keeps the nearby iron from deteriorating. Small gaps in the coating therefore don't really matter as long as there is still some zinc nearby.

Yeah it looks bad that the richest man in the world's pet backyard rocket company is getting pork, but space is still the purvey of government funding.

Even if Blue Origin is behind SpaceX, it's still good to have a couple irons in the fire pushing things. Solar was the same way. There were probably a half dozen failed solar startups that Obama threw money at that the right can pillory as boondoggles, but this is how private research will go if governments aren't doing massive amounts of public research.

Some companies will succeed, others won't.

I never got that quote (Contact)

Take the premise governments are incompetent and overspend.

You neither win or lose by getting two. The incompetence is built into the second same price.

Except you have the second early.

Building early has a cost, but given the way governments work the incentive for re-election is being under budget and fixing problems only when they become so bad they have too. Building early intuitively sounds better to me.
The "post Internet" artist Brad Troemel has insightful takes on the art world, and posts them to his Patreon and Instagram accounts. He recently released a 42 minute "NFT report":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXBxVFsHBJQ

It touches upon "what is an NFT", but also the reasons why artists are interested in them, and where the (crypto) money is coming from.

His take (I don't mean to TLDW, the video is really worth watching) is that NFTs are loved by people from the crypto world because it "finally" gives a clear utility to crypto/the blockchain (aside from speculation/trading/gambling), and it's simultaneously beneficial to artists who can bypass the traditional art market with all of its gatekeepers and be on the receiving end of huge sums spent by crypto whales (who can't "do" much with their crypto savings anyway)

Worth the watch!
I got banned from posting for _4 hours_ because I got downvoted 5 points in a half hour for these comments. Suffice it to say I tried writing more substantive but the policy had its obvious effect, the off-topic echo chamber was preserved.

Look no further than you're being _upvoted_ for quintupling down on inanity completely divorced from the article that's we're supposed to be discussing, even with schoolyard debate nonsense like "can you name even one thing backing up your thesis statement?" (back in the day, or still with more traditional HN posts, you'd get something more like: 'I find that surprising, what makes you feel that way?'. Dang calls this "coming with curiosity" or something like that)

Meanwhile in the sibling thread, we have a guy with a year old account neener-neering me for daring to mention things are bad because it's a noob fallacy, and people who have actually been here a while getting flagged/dead through the floor for pointing out this _isn't actually some steadfast rule_, its a classic HN "rule". Meanwhile, I've been here for 12+ years and its never been close to being as bad as it is right now.

This site, and you, are getting what always happens to these sites: too large of an audience to preserve quality of discussion over group dynamics. You shall inherit the board, but, no one will be the wiser for you being here - it's all half-baked assertions, schoolyard bully absolutist nonsense that you know isn't argumentation, you'd never talk like that to someone in real life. Then add the thesis here being that people _in the actual company_ aren't seeing the truth, their coworkers are engaged on makework PhD bullshit because otherwise they'd jump to Apple (never mind that the #1, #2, and #3 pieces of career advice in the valley is to leave so you get promoted)

This is way harder than it sounds. You can ask the followup questions, but too often, they'll get answered. Contradictions, even pointed out, aren't contradictions to them. Hitting a contradiction in the first place requires that the person being questioned applies a consistent model to the questions, and most of the time, they're not. And getting over that requires admitting that they're wrong.

When I am relating such conversations to my SO, it's often with the (modified) phrase "you can drown a horse in water, but you can't force it to drink."

You do realise that Apple's M1 processor + OS porting was a 10 year goal to produce the results that you see before you?

Several years ago [0], the same ones here were calling Fuchsia dead since 2016 - 2018 and theoretically today it should already have died. Today Google has surprised the skeptics here and just released Fuchsia 1.0 on a real device (earlier than expected) and now you're already calling it dead again?

This whole thread sounds like a Linux meltdown club to me. In fact, Google is taking / controlling Fuchsia in the same direction as to what Apple has always done with iOS / macOS and its own silicon.

Perhaps when this decade ends, you will be looking at this comment (and this one [1]) via a phone running Fuchsia.

That's a bit like the one horse shay. It's not how long it lasts but what are the costs associated with it lasting any given length of time. Nothing lasts forever but say buildings lasted 500 years - Suddenly 500 years from now all buildings have to be replaced? And what's the cost of this 500 year building? Is it 10 times as much? Or is it 5 times as much?

Saying we shouldn't have buildings that only last 50 years but rather they should last 500 is like saying they shouldn't last 50 years but instead 5. Maybe. Maybe 5 makes sense.

My assumption would be - shocker - it's probably a complicated trade off that's best adjudicated by the people with the most skin in the particular game.

Right. It used to be referenced on the front page of julialang.org Seems they don't really use that in the sale pitch anymore. Maybe that proves my point. It's easy to find references to julia claiming to solve the two-language problem though. I am someone who this two-language problem they speak of addresses.

I love Julia. Which is why it's so painful that I have to rewrite all my elegant Julia prototype code in C++, so I can compile into a shared lib for the users. Every. Single. Time. Two languages.

Now that it isn't the main front and centre claim, I feel a bit less bitter about using it as a prototyping language.

Waiting another 5 years and maybe it really will solve the two-language problem.
> Clicking through files with an IDE

This is a big assumption. Many engineers prefer to grep through code without an IDE, the "clean code" style breaks grep/github code search and forces someone to install an IDE with go to declaration/find usages. On balance I prefer the clean code style and bought the jetbrains ultimate pack, however I do understand that some folks are working with grep/vim/code search and would rather not download a project to figure out how it works.
When a seller creates a Stripe account to use Payment Links, they go through the same review processes (and face the same stringent regulations from card networks and banks) as any seller who creates a Stripe account to integrate our Payments API directly with their website. They will be rejected by Stripe if they violate our terms of service (i.e., if they're fraudulent).

Sellers will be able to see if the buying process is started when a payment link is clicked: either through the Stripe Dashboard or through the API by listening for `payment_intent.created`.
Google Play Services is essential for most features a user would expect in a modern mobile phone.
