TCL is one of the few languages allowing you to dabble in to and one of the few that caught hook with me. It's friendliness then leads you down a path of voodoo and creativity.

proc displayHackerNews {} {
set hn "Hacker News" ;#Fill the variable (hn) with the string "Hacker News"
puts $hn ;#output the variable ($hn) to terminal
} ;#end procedure

displayHackerNews ;#execute the procedure
displays: Hacker News

If statements are easy

set hn ""
if { $hn eq "Hacker News" } { puts $hn } else {
set hn "Not Hacker News"
puts $hn
} ;#end if

Infinite Loops are fun

set hn "Hacker News" ;#Set a variable
while { $hn eq "Hacker News" } {
puts "$hn" ;# print "Hacker News" to terminal in an infinite loop
} ;#end loop

Multi-threading is a breeze.

package require Thread
set MyThreadID [thread::create {
puts "Hello from my new thread"
thread::wait
} ;#end code-to-run
] ;#end thread

And finally, a if-switch-threaded-loop

set hn "Hacker News"
if { $hn eq "Hacker News" } {set switch "hn" } else { set switch "" }

switch $switch {
hn {
set MyThreadID [thread::create {
proc displayHackerNews {} {set hn "Hacker News" ; puts $hn} ;#end procedure

#set aCounter to zero, if aCounter is < 7 execute displayHackerNews procedure
for {set aCounter 0} {$aCounter < 7} {incr aCounter} { displayHackerNews }
thread::wait
} ;#end threaded-code
] ;#end thread
} ;#end switch-case

default {puts "It's still not hacker news"}
} ;#end switch

The simplicity of the language plus it's power enhances it further then python could ever reach. It also powers the Mar's Rover a long with 99% of all industrial technology. I wouldn't be too surprised to find the nuclear launch button is coded in TCL. (that part might not all be true) but

It's a nice language but to diss it that much, don't. It's a fun language to use and creates modern enhancements. I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who's confused about programming. Running remotely hosted X applications via novnc natively on most OS is tasty.

If one language that should be dropped is GOlang. Rust wins. It came from Google. Seriously, github links in source? Yes, looks smart and modern but is incredibly stupid. NO programming language should ever pull URL links for dependence. You wouldn't execute a random bash file on the internet to install a script would you? It's no difference.

I create a repo, heres link to repo, people install repo. I maliciously change the code to backdoor your box, you don't notice. Well done, You've compiled remote backdoor new version, none the wiser.

Who really reads the dependency code that that person has wrote?

Why is it ok to blame men but not women though? Either we blame both or none. I'd say blame none. Ultimately on a population level you don't have lazy or cold, just politics with policies, incentives etc, so it doesn't make sense to blame anyone in particular. Instead of blaming just look at what policies would be more impactful for fixing the problems.
If we protect out markets from all monopolies, foreign included, we'd end up with tons of competitive companies all scrapping to be the best. Instead what we've got now are monoliths that will gradually ossify into cable-company levels of innovation and customer service. Breaking up domestic monopolies would be one of the best things we could do to compete internationally.
Ironically, I stumbled across an example pretty quickly: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CXTnq7srJRs&t=7m34s
The main guix "channel" (that's what it's called) contains more than 17.000 packages. Some software is hard to package, but I can't think of anything that's missing from the repository. You can have a look at the list of packages at https://guix.gnu.org/en/packages/ (note that firefox for instance is called icecat and based on the ESR version).

There are no other official channels, but a bunch of people have their own channels with additional packages. The most popular is probably nonguix (https://gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix) which provides some popular nonfree packages.

Creating a recipe is generally easy (it's just a bunch of metadata) and even easier if it's supported by one of the importers (python, perl, emacs, ...). You can use guix on any other Linux system if you're not ready to install the complete system. The only difference is that your system is not managed by guix, and you can't run "guix system reconfigure", but the experience is otherwise the same. Make sure to follow the additional steps from the manual.
You can run guix on top of Arch, which would let you try it with really easy fallback, at the expense of duplicate disk use and maintenance.

I understand why the second version might benchmark faster, but why is it more numerically stable?
"It has come to the attention of the FBI that “Fair Use Warnings” accompanied by an image of the FBI seal (or similar insignia) have been posted on various websites, giving the appearance that the FBI has created or authorized these notices to advise the public about the fair use doctrine in U.S. copyright law. The FBI recognizes that the fair use of copyrighted materials, as codified in Title 17, United States Code, section 107, does not constitute infringement. These warnings, however, are not authorized or endorsed by the FBI. Unauthorized use of the FBI seal (or colorable imitations) may be punishable under Title 18 United States Code, Sections 701, 709, or other applicable law." [1]

They have different homes, setups, jobs and bodies?

I can't work on my couch for more than an hour or two, so I had to set up an office space, and sometimes for UI work I need a monitor. I could do it in the dining room, but I eat there with my family.

Working in the car or under a tree is similarly limiting (and why would you want to work in the car?) Maybe even more limiting when you account for bad weather, sun glare and lack of outlets.

Libraries near me haven't had workspaces or even seating for a year now. I wouldn't want to do my job on their wifi anyway.

The value of government in the United States is in ensuring the protection of natural rights not the creation of positive ones at the expense of those natural rights. People have the right to vote with their feet or vote with their dollars regardless of their economic status. This treaty seeks to dissuade and upend that. If people are starving, that's because of bad economic policy. No person should be required to stay or invest in an area if it's not to his liking particularly if it is to his economic loss.
56 pages. back in the 80s and earlier, papers were much shorter. It's not like the claim being made here necessitates such a long paper compared to earlier studies.
The next generations are going to look at us like the Romans drinking from lead pipes. I think it's the weirdest time, chemically, when it comes to life on earth.

For anyone struggling with their health, check if hormone tests could fit in your budget. It may point to a problem or hint to look in a different direction.
I generally agree with you, but electric work is different. Except if you’ve wired your whole house by yourself, having someone qualified and legally responsible for rewiring is important. Even if their own work is minimal, they also take responsibility for not fixing the previous work if there was anything that should have been noticed, and it’s a role you can’t take.

On insurance, as you say their interests are opposite, and you need to be defensive about how to deal with them. Not having insurance on a house is not an option, so making sure you have a standing ground when shit hits the fan is pretty reasonable in my opinion.
I guess he had a whale of a time!
Science needs to advance more so that we can determine nature vs. nurture. It's all genetic (nature) in the end - but I think being able to say "x lacks the genetic makeup to dunk a basketball" vs "x was malnourished as a child so they wont grow enough to be able to dunk a basketball" is useful. I think articles looking at outcomes of the children of successful people are unhealthy and will focus too much on environmental impacts. We will see uneven breakdowns (by race, sex, height, etc.) and think that means something needs to be fixed...but we aren't able to fully explain how the breakdowns got to where they are.

I would much prefer a stable camera video. The PoV videos are unwatchable for me unless I take dramamine.
Edited my post to clarify the language a bit.
Search for "list of conservatives removed from twitter" on google vs. DDG.

Google returns a list of left leaning sources down playing it, DDG returns a list of right leaning sources condemning it.

The results are night and day different.
I suppose this implies that the average non-technical user pays no attention to the contents of the address bar? Perhaps for Google to improve security metrics maybe the user needs a new canonical UI element indicating what site they're on, since to most people the address bar is just computer noise.
I don't have a view on that. My point is just that specific rules addressing a specific problem are better then vague rules justified by a specific problem.
There’s first person testimony. Certainly the people making those statements could have ulterior motives.

What would hard evidence look like to you? How could that evidence be obtained? How could the Chinese facilitate that evidence?

I have a funny anecdote here. In competitive parliamentary debate, almost every school "plays by the rules" and doesn't do some relatively easy and hard to detect cheating. Not RIT though - they cheat blatantly and hard. They come in with pages and pages of evidence that they simply could not have hand written in the 15 minutes they're given for preparing. I have a slightly more poor opinion of any RIT graduate as a result of this experience. I know nothing about the school but I can sure tell you that being unscrupulous is not reserved only for the ivy league elite.
Well, once upon a time, likely not too long ago, politicians that were voted in decided to establish a framework in which this was possible/prevailed.

For those who personally don't like it, I don't know what to tell you. Your ideology is clearly a minority, and the only way minorities will get what they want in a capitalistic system is through large amounts of money.
Since there are conflicting reports, allow me a stupid question: you're not running adblock?
That (and overall the unability to take correlation between error into account) and the fact that intervals propagated are upper bounds for some things like the division.
Are they really selecting for intelligence though?

The SAT, which actually does that fairly well, is on its way out.

> Obviously energy is used for something other than transactions.

Not at all. The efficiency of the network is intentionally degraded such that the rate of Bitcoin transactions remains constant despite the increased energy use. You are assuming that the energy is being spent for some tangible benefit, and drawing conclusions from that assumption. I would say that the energy is being wasted, with the sole result being a receipt showing how much electricity has been thrown away.
Your argument reads like Palahniuk's satircal message in Fight Club.

These concepts of masculinity our culture pines for are destructive and unproductive. A woman is no less qualified to raise a man than a man.

No one has told them their success is evil. You're conflating women being told their success is success with men being shunned. There's a perception that women and minority groups have somehow gained an advantage in the last 30 years. What they've gained is some measure of equality with white males who still earn more, are more likely to get jobs and aren't stigmatized for their existence. If you believe white males are stigmatized for their existence, consider the stereotypes, lack of representation, and abuse women and minority groups face on a daily basis.

If a man can only find a role model in a man with x testosterone level, we are in dire shape as a society.

Help me with how this is relevant. Is the person you hired to scrub your Google result risking getting doxxed?
I considered that, but actually that's the cliché angle of nearly every story about northern places, especially in publications like SciAm and NatGeo, so I think we can safely take it as presupposed. It's not part of the diff: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so....
A simple Zoom call with your camera on for anything private could have stopped all of this.
I'm a big fan of Chef John as well. The value I find with Kenji is less the recipes themselves than the articles that come along with them. He explains how he arrived at each of those ingredients:

https://www.seriouseats.com/how-to-make-the-best-chili-ever-...

What's useful here is that you can make less ambitious versions of the full recipe (using canned beans and/or cheaper meat, using ground spices rather than grinding your own, etc.) while still benefitting from some of the tricks he found (chocolate, vinegar, liquor, soy sauce/Marmite, etc.).

I also want to point out that not all of Kenji's Serious Eats recipes are "the best X ever". Some are simpler and quicker, like this chili recipe. This is much closer to Chef John's recipe in terms of complexity.

Desktop, laptop, or mobile? I was watching on mobile, so had a stable reference for most of my field of view.
You start to notice a lot of roots by applying a "toki pona" style phonetic rule: collapse all voiced and unvoiced consonants. Reverse Grimm's law. Th -> t. And then apply Arabic vowels: a, i, u. This is pretty much reversing the most common sound shifts over time.

f=v=b=p, g=k, d=t, y=o=u, e=i.

Cybernetics -> kupirnitics

Government -> kupirnit

It's probably also related to "operatus" (Latin for "work", things like cooperate and opera come from it) but I can't find sources. (co)operatus -> (k)upiratus

Another example is the famous "father" etymology:

Father/vader/pater -> patir (PIE *pH₂tér)
> For certainly your desire for peace, and prosperity, and plenty is not prompted by any purpose of using these blessings honestly, that is to say, with moderation, sobriety, temperance, and piety; for your purpose rather is to run riot in an endless variety of sottish pleasures, and thus to generate from your prosperity a moral pestilence which will prove a thousandfold more disastrous than the fiercest enemies. It was such a calamity as this that Scipio, your chief pontiff, your best man in the judgment of the whole senate, feared when he refused to agree to the destruction of Carthage, Rome's rival and opposed Cato, who advised its destruction. He feared security, that enemy of weak minds, and he perceived that a wholesome fear would be a fit guardian for the citizens. And he was not mistaken; the event proved how wisely he had spoken. For when Carthage was destroyed, and the Roman republic delivered from its great cause of anxiety, a crowd of disastrous evils immediately resulted from the prosperous condition of things.

The problem with the Cantillion effect is that the way its usually explained there is an eventual trickle down.

There probably was a trickle down Cantillion effect in his time since in the 1730s rich people would one way or another buy other people with their money.

These days it is trickling down to Google SWEs who the rich people can use to build machines to put the grocery checkers out of work. I don't think its trickling down to the grocery checkers.

So the Gini coefficient keeps increasing, rather than leading to broad inflation.

Eventually the bottom half of the economy should be effectively priced out of it, at which point we should see a deflationary collapse in the top half.
No it doesn't. If the host chose randomly and revealed a non-prize, i.e. the point where you're making the choice, your odds are 1/2 for either door and your strategy doesn't matter.
Can't the woman just pick someone to talk to and then get a real response most of the time? Even if it's 10% that's really easy to get.

Breaking up domestic monopolies would be one of the best things we could do to compete internationally.

International monopolies will be able to expand into the US and burn cash to acquire users and grow market share. Then when they've run all domestic companies out of business, they will raise prices.
Just to add to the story. My sister claimed for 10+ years she had the DMV book and just needed to study it before getting her permit. She said this repeatedly to my father and brother and no one questioned her. For 10+ years.

Then a year ago I just called a driving school near my parents house on her behalf. I offered to pay for everything including study time and taxi rides to and from the school. Whatever it took. She said she still needed more time to read the book, but I said the school would help her. So when the time finally came to schedule a pickup time, she texted me and just said that she isn't interested in learning to drive.

So that basically ended our relationship since this lie was too much. Now the only lever I have left is shunning her for her irresponsible life-style choices that put a burden on others. It has had no effect on her but at least I sleep better.
Isn't this the logical outcome of giving women preference for college admission, scholarships, and employment opportunities? Does this not indicate policy success?

Ikura in sushi restaurants always makes me think of ikra (икра), which is caviar in Russian. It can't be a coincidence but I don't know how it got there.

> apotheke (basement, literally "under-box")

Actually, "apo" has the meaning of "away" here, so "away-box" would be more accurate. Maybe you are confusing it with "ypo", which actually means "under" in Greek?

I always enjoy reading about this stuff, btw!
Maybe students attending universities who have "reasonable revenue streams" supporting them are just better.
> These internal barriers mean Europe has many smaller firms operating at national, not continental, scale. Each country tends to have its own banks, utilities, airlines and supermarkets. (Europe has over 100 mobile operators, compared with a handful in America or China.) These lack the economies of scale and opportunities to grow quickly enjoyed by firms plying the American or Chinese markets.

This is a huge advantage for US(and China). A company started in either has immediate access to a massive population with relatively common culture, language, laws, and infrastructure. A company can smoothly scale its reach to 100’s of millions.

The EU, although it has a bigger population than the US, is divided into multiple much smaller countries, many times with their own language, culture, laws, and infrastructure.
Normally I'd agree with you, but I've been thinking on this for a while and when you look at history this is not the case. Prominent examples are Southwestern Bell and Standard Oil. The elected officials in the US government are happy to take campaign contributions and play the game and let the monopolies run wild, but when their behaviors threaten the monopoly of power the US government has or threatens political stability the US government acts, sometimes very heavy handed and often effectively.
Why wouldn't an international tech co just be able to acquire domestic companies and/or launch products at a significant loss to gain market share in the US?

For example, break up Amazon and you now create an opening for Alibaba to expand into the US. Spending billions in order to get customers to shift to Alibaba instead of Amazon.
Genuinely curious: Is video game addiction different in kind to anorexia? My understanding is the latter is often a symptom of wanting control over something. I see getting stuck on video games the same way.
This is a good point, and also a general fact of life I think. Society is not just modeled by laws, but also by influencial groups.

If your company gets banned by visa/mastercard for dealing with porn, you’ll steer away for anything porn related.

You know banks won’t give you a loan for growing legal weed, if your goal is actually to make money you’ll grow other fancy aromatic plants instead, etc.

You still can push through, but getting nudged is not new, will never stop, and most of the time reflects your societies values anyway.
And their kids' daycare / schools, their church, their car loan companies, their real estate agents, their publishers, their horse show judges, their computer game, paintball, and highschool sports practice sites -- yeah, looking at you, Cade C...

Even in spite of all this Covid spending, the US dollar is only back to where it was in 2018.

https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/.DXY

Short term inflation is rising, but this has more to due with supply and outputs being constrained due to Covid and inflation rising from an abnormally low base. Many pundits and experts underestimated how quickly things would come back, even with the help of stimulus. I think having rising inflation and a booming economy is preferable to a weak economy and low inflation.
I had this exact situation, it led to panic attacks eventually.

Come to find out that the reason was apnea. I'd drift to sleep, have an apnea event and wake back up. I didn't feel like I was suffocating, but more that I just couldn't sleep. After 5 months on a CPAP I'm finally starting to feel like my old self.
I'm sure they're quaking in their boots upon reading this sternly-worded letter! To change things would take this, plus the slightest hint of conviction on the part of those currently living fat lives working in and leading those same institutions - not just academia but others that were supposed to safeguard society against such excesses, such as the press, the media, organized labor (sorry who?), and the vibrant American communist/socialist movement (LOL JK). They've all been neutralized and their brightest individuals bought off in subtle ways e.g. they just happen to make more money and get invited to more parties by agreeing with the elite party line. Or disagreeing with it in principle but crucially misattributing the blame to protect those actually at fault and/or cui bono-ing from it, that's a popular tactic. Ironically if you've got tenure (as increasingly few do) you ought to be able to speak out all the more loudly, and you can, and still make money, but you won't get invited to the parties anymore.
