Hmm. I'd imagine all matter than interacts with photons to be GHGs in some format.

The frequency band for absorption and emission might be different, but the helium could absorb a shorter wavelength, then release a longer wavelength (not infrared) that can be absorbed by something else, then emitted yet again to be infrared

Cute for toy projects but a big disadvantage for any another kind of programming. There's a reason established languages like C++ or C# are taking compatibility very seriously.
My guiding design principle was to take a trendline from monolithic kernels to microkernels, then keep on going until you had no kernel left.

Oh we got 'close'. But the issue was it felt like 'oh yeah we need X' that X would be 2-3 more dollars, and so on. Really at this point the board is the 'meh' part of it. When you are at this price point. Something like an extra USB port becomes a larger portion of the bill. Also at this price point something odd happens. Your support costs also grow much faster. As you will attract more people to the platform at a lower cost. So your margin is not there. Also when you build 1 or 2 you can do that in an afternoon. But when you want 10k of them it becomes a bigger issue of simple things like 'how do I get these into the cardboard boxes', or 'where do I source 10k power cables that are not garbage'.
> are the same race.

Depends on who you ask. Race is a purely human construct (and a very nebulous one). The classification of 'human race' is entirely made up and has no biological science to it.

Ethnolinguistically Cantonese is very different from Mandrain. And culturally (in terms of diet, customs) Cantonese is also quite distinct from say Wu (Shanghai), etc.
Yep it is - typo on my part.
The rationales for the war on drugs are now acceptable to question. It is worth remembering that questioning these rationales was considered heretical not long ago.

When I've asked others about their views on debunked popular delusions, they often reply, "I always knew [insert premise] wasn't true".

If as many people disbelieved these premises as self-report post-debunking, the premise would have never been popular. Media outlets would have never sold the rationale. The important feature of propaganda, is that you are not aware that it is propaganda.

Therefore, it is worth looking at current promotions and examining currently held beliefs.

Even if we arrive at the eventuality of a full end to the drug war, if all non-violent offenders are released - We still can't give those people their lives back. A self-righteous retrospective won't put the pieces back together.

What are the current mythologies the presses are selling and how do they impact civil liberties?

> That would only work as proof if you believe that salary is a perfect metric for job performance

There exists no perfect metric for job performance, so what is your point? No alternative system you propose can do it perfectly.

> and that nobody is paid less than they could get elsewhere (IE that the labor market operates with perfect efficiency)

Pay is not the only measure of a good job. I could easily find a job that pays me 50% more than I currently make.

> Since those are not the case, you can ask yourself, are bills requiring equal pay for equivalent work and pay transparency each likely to improve salary as a metric for job performance, and labor market efficiency?

No, they absolutely aren't. Who decides what is equivalent work? Having the same job title doesn't mean you add the same value to an organization, and trying to use law to force that will exacerbate the problem, not make it better.

Some people work more, practice their craft outside work, or are available after hours as needed. Those people are more valuable and should be compensated as such, not lumped in with the lowest common denominator.

All of the people I have talked to who supported these "equal pay" measures were people who were bad (or at best mediocre) at their job.

Businesses in the US are driven almost entirely by money. The people making less at their jobs are really, truly providing value, they can use that as leverage to negotiate a higher salary. Or just take matters into their own hands and give themselves a raise by getting a new job.

I don't get how the end of the political spectrum that complains about pay gaps is the same one that constantly complains about how corporations are driven by greed and money.

No employer wants to pay any person any more than they have to. I, a white man, have had to do a lot of work to justify my own raises. And when I got screwed by my employer, you bet your ass I left and found something better.

If people think they really can get more for what they do, they should go out there and do it. At the end of the day, money talks. If you truly provide value, you have leverage.
> when you say you want the utter annihilation and destruction of a racial group

We already established that they don't say that.

> when you praise and actively work to bomb busses, stab people in the street and in their homes...

If your country had been invaded and utterly militarily overwhelmed by another country, now intent on building cities and installing their population on your former land, what would you do to free it, where would you stop and just throw your arms up and say "well, I can't do anything"?

In a situation like that, there will always be someone who is willing to use any means to make the occupation and the oppression as costly as possible for the oppressor. It's not racial hatred, it's that when you cannot hit the army you'll hit whatever you can.

When Israel will have given back all the territory that has illegally appropriated (illegally according to the western nations, not some backwards middle Eastern dictatorship) then it will be in a position to denounce any continuing terrorism from Hamas. Before that, it's just complaining because its victims fight back.

While we disagree on who is responsible for code, I do think we are saying the same thing about cryptos. If you can't fix software later, you're doomed because it all has problems.

Likewise, humans make mistakes in transactions and if they can't be undone... problems.

EDIT: I should clarify that I don't believe software authors are responsible for use, but rather for bugs.
How Profitable is Algorithmic Trading in 2021?
Right, I knew I should have said "without shenanigans".

The difference is that editions are a first-class, supported mechanism for managing interoperability between code targeting different "standards versions". It's not up to the user and the linker to conspire so that things work out, it's part of the language, and you don't need to limit your public interfaces / generic code to the lowest version.

(I don't know if this is the best policy? It seems like it could be a big burden on implementations in the long run.)
This reminds me of Qubes Air, which I think will be implemented earlier:

> So when it was pointed out that it's still a problem, they came up with a solution that I think strikes a good balance.

Fair enough.

To me, it couldn't have been more obvious that collecting "money" in creators' names and also misrepresenting that was Bad™. I'll try to be gracious and chalk this up to "lack of common sense" instead of "part of the evil plan".
Do you have a source for that? Wikipedia (and the game's credits) have a core development team of 8 (plus audio, production, testing etc).

Since now apparently Kovarex is a bad person for linking to some videos and talking about Uncle Bob's teachings, and since you said this:

That makes you a horrible murderer. You are financing the murder of many people by paying your taxes. Or maybe you should reconsider that view?

Because about 90% of excess energy from an imbalance winds up in the ocean, the satellite sensors’ data should correspond with temperature changes in oceans.

“The two very independent ways of looking at changes in Earth’s energy imbalance are in really, really good agreement, and they’re both showing this very large trend, which gives us a lot of confidence that what we’re seeing is a real phenomenon and not just an instrumental artifact,” said Norman Loeb, lead study author and a Nasa researcher.

This is demonstrably false...
I believe it's the only major protocol that doesn't rely on google services for push notifications on Android and also has clients available in the app store on iOS.

So if you want to, for example, chat with people in China and avoid WeChat it's a pretty solid choice. Or if you just want to avoid google services.

That said, the clients available on iOS are lacking features you would really need in a business context. Conversations on Android is pretty good out of the box.

This long lifecycle is a double-edged sword between stability & features, but you can grind down one of those edges with enough discipline on backwards compatibility.

One compelling example could be the direction MS has started to take w/ .NET Core/5/6+:

- Submit issue/PR on the dotnet/aspnetcore repo on GH (anyone can do this).

- Conversation starts almost immediately.

- Suggested changes could be merged in a matter of weeks.

- Expect your changes to become available in an official release in under a year. Pre-release builds much sooner than that.

- Expect an LTS release the following year.

I have personally experienced this workflow a few times. It is incredible to have this type of feedback loop with something that has historically been a total black box of proprietary decisions.

There are still a ton of places where you don't have much leverage, but the fact that there is any movement possible from the community at all is incredible to me (again, from a historical perspective around Microsoft & .NET).

I don't have to learn how to draft a PhD thesis in order to add value to the ecosystem. Ideas should not be filtered so harshly in my opinion.
Doesn't the historic sucess of political propaganda, and the marketing successes of companies like Coca-Cola, illustrate the power of art to influence society, to some extent?

And it doesn't have to be an either or. They can both mutually shape each other.
https://polemix.io is a mobile platform that try to find common grounds by allowing "respect" votes that show that you disagree, but still find the idea/content/opinion relevant.

Type safety and static typing are orthogonal. Both C and C++ are statically typed, yet are not type safe, for instance.

> Game development has become so bloated these days. You need teams of hundreds or even thousands of people to create a full game

Hard disagree. The accessibility and availability of free resources is higher than ever before for solo devs.
AAA games take large teams because they have more content, and a larger diversity of content than older games.

> Instead of focusing on graphical fidelity I think we should be focusing on lower development time, gameplay features/diversity, stability/portability and implementation. I have yet to see a proper open world game (Think GTA but you can enter every room in every building) with good draw distances that don't suffer from horrible pop in.

That's because it's a difficult problem and machines don't have unlimited resources. Draw distances are a graphical fidelity problem, so I also find it ironic that this is your first idea.
Advertisements and entertainment seem different from a creation standpoint.

I don't doubt they both have influence, but why / how you write a cop show isn't why you make an ad for coke either.
Security through obscurity is only sweeping the problem under the rug instead of addressing it IMPO. I don't know what Parler is or was, but I don't think sequential int IDs would be the major factor that would lead to a website being scraped.

There are generally two types of information in applications, "public" and "privileged". The former has the IDs and such discoverable by an index or explore page, the latter requires authentication and has user-specific permissions.

For both cases, if hiding IDs is the only access control on the backend, it's fundamentally flawed. For both cases, if the access control is implemented well (in addition to rate limiting), integer vs UUIDs don't make a difference.

What do you think?
Compared to C, C++ isn't that slow moving.

Not many languages take C's ultra-high-inertia approach. Perhaps Scheme and Forth.
I used to have the same arguments against TikTok, too many narcissist attention-seeking influencers. But TikTok's algorithm shows you videos partly based on how much time you spend looking at a video.

So I started swiping to a new video immediately every time a selfie video showed up. The selfie videos mostly show up when you first create an account. The algorithm figured out I didn't like selfies so started showing me other random content, like travel, animals, etc. Then I started liking content I liked, so the algorithm gave me more of it.

I finally have what I like and don't see any "20 year-old zeros making videos about themselves", but it took some time to set up. It's refreshing, and much more pleasurable than Facebook or Instagram which tries to show me political shares when I'm actively unfollowing politics.
In Brave, by default, when a user opts-in and earns rewards from Brave Ads, Brave will enable the user to tip verified sites and content creators (even making automatic, pro-rata contributions possible). This is currently how content creators benefit (indirectly) from Brave Ads. Their users earn rewards, and forward them along. We're currently settling more than 8-figures each month to website owners and more. See creators.brave.com for more information. Further options will come in the future as well.
And it's probably the same reason Rust takes compatibility very seriously. What's with the "us vs them" attitude?

> In the US we had heroes fighting japs and nazis, then commies (notably no one ever fought the confederates in pop culture...).

Worth noting that a lot of those you just mentioned either had direct government funding, or received government assistance, because of who they depicted as the bad guys.

It wasn't just human nature to paint them as the bad guys, it was part of a propaganda machine (overtly at first during WWII), and continues to this day. If you want to depict the US military in Hollywood, they will help you to do so, with certain rules about what you do or don't depict.

Until recently, TV networks received similar funding if they kept a anti-drug thematic in their works. (Though receiving networks of said funding said they didn't rewrite anything to fit those messages).

> TV didn't do that. We did it to ourselves. TV just reflected what we all agreed on.

I'm afraid I don't think that is clear. TV was actively influenced. What we watch was influenced. To what degree did that influence extend into the social conscience? That's a bit beyond me.
How long ago? Compared to 5 years ago C# performance has improved dramatically, and you have more tools available to control memory usage.

That said, if you are trying to make a competitive first person shooter than never dips below 144fps, C# may not be a good choice. But there are popular competitive shooters out there using Unity, like Tarkov. But who knows how much pain they went through to get the performance they needed?
High-latency but high-bandwidth. C++ features take forever to land, but there's always something big in the pipeline, for better or worse.

Eh, memory safety hasn't ever really been the problem with mod_tls, or curl, but it would be nice to have some solid examples for other projects to build on.

The Linux kernel project sounds interesting. It would be nice if there was an effort to purge as much C code as possible from the core of the kernel and really enforce standards such that even a maliciously designed kernel module should not be vulnerable to memory corruption bugs.
I ended up writing some very rudimentary HTML canvas + javascript drawing code into the notebook and for my purposes it's fast and does the job. Just to note to others, that this is a possibility within a Jupyter notebook.

One obvious benefit is that it can start rendering "live" and continuously and doesn't have to generate the whole animation before starting to show it.
The creator flat out admitted that this is "a comic reference" (https://twitter.com/YourBoswell/status/1405863275997413384), which means it's a specific reference to the Disney IP and associated mark.

Like it or not, Disney absolutely has the right to enforce that mark.

That's scary. I used to be a hardcore insectaphobe, but I got over it over the last couple years. Now I don't care that much when I see insects in my house. But it is within reason! I wouldn't want bugs reproducing in my house, that sounds like a slippery slope!
As an avid contributor to OSM I must say that I am impressed.

It is an excellent tool for normal users, I would need to check what it suggests in areas that are not well mapped (my surroundings only miss some unimportant elements)
You can do that today with Brave. Brave Rewards enables users to self-fund, and contribute automatically to the sites they visit, proportional to the time spent on those sites. See https://brave.com/rewards and https://creators.brave.com for more information. The beautiful thing about Brave Ads, however, is that everybody can support the content they love. Even if they don't have the ability to self-fund; they can convert attention into substantive support for content creators.
Yeah, wow I guess I should have included the caveat "Comcast isn't doing anything to your DNS... except when you literally don't have Internet access and couldn't reach a third-party DNS server anyway"
The biggest and widest used open source projects have billions in corporate investment in them. None were simply the product of devs working in off hours for free for fun.
For car enthusiasts, I agree. For most of the population, 0-60 is a useful metric. Everybody accelerates from traffic lights and uses a highway on ramp nearly every day. Pulling 1g on a curve is for a work commute or road trip is rare.
> I swear that if one particular vendor had discovered a IIc instead of LSD in the mid-80s, every one of us on this site would know his name.

I don't know if I'm missing the point here, but if this is true, then wouldn't it follow that drugs are something that society should be fighting against?
That's interesting, though. I find a lot of political and critical content on TikTok. You do have to look for it, it's not as popular, but TikTok definitely can be used for it.
Rust has the best approach. Stable and unstable branches, so that language changes can be trialed on real projects and modified or backed out as required.

Getting more eyeballs on a language change and getting language users involved in its development leads to more strength than simply spending more time on each change.

On mobile, it's not as easy to say "use FF Android". Desktop FF is fine, and it's what I use, but on mobile FF is not as fast as Chromium based browsers. Text-heavy content is fine everywhere, but for sites that are more interactive, Chromium based browsers usually deliver less choppy performance.
