No, activists are keen to see these children, most of whom would turn out to be homosexual if not pushed through affirmative therapy, sterilized. The "treatments" for transition render the trans person incapable of orgasm, obliterate their sex drive, and remove their genitals. About half will commit suicide, and detransitioners are shunned and mocked. Resources and communities online like r/egg_irl that offer "support" for trans questioning people downplay the negatives of transition

That's the only explanation that makes sense to me. More persecution of homosexuals. Read the "When Sons Become Daughters" series on Quillette.

And don't get me started on the propaganda that's out there that nobody will talk about in polite company. Go search for "sissy training" on PornHub.

Ask yourself: who is making hypnosis videos encouraging boys to sterilize themselves and have sex with men, and why?

I use TeXmacs' conversion capabilities from/to LaTeX on a regular basis. I find that the converter works very well, both ways.

When exporting to LaTeX, I have only encountered very few, minor issues, which are easy to fix if you know LaTeX. These glitches are corrected quickly in new versions of TeXmacs. The LaTeX code that TeXmacs produces is nice and readable — certainly much better than typical LaTeX code produced by typical users.

The other way around, it all depends on the quality of the source LaTeX file. If you start from standard LaTeX with a reasonably clean style, it works very well. If the source file makes use of very specific commands from very specific packages, then you may have to tweak the result, e.g. re-implement some of the non-standard features.

Overall, I think conversion works as well as it could possibly.

I am currently importing a 350 pages book into TeXmacs. The conversion works very well, but essentially reveals the flaws in the source files.

When sharing a document produced in TeXmacs with LaTeX but non-TeXmacs users, there is also a very nice feature, called conservative conversion: when you first export to a LaTeX file and then import the LaTeX file edited by your colleagues back into TeXmacs, TeXmacs will retain the original TeXmacs file wherever possible (preserving some advanced features that have been lost in translation, such as table management), i.e., TeXmacs will import from LaTeX only at those specific places that have been edited outside of TeXmacs.
Note that those issues are about deterministic performance, not results. Also guix and nix appear to be Unix only, which severely limit their use for Windows users. One of the places Julia really excels with reproducibility is inter OS, yes there are probably some bugs, but the ability to manage versions cross OS this easily is something I'm not aware of a good alternative for.

But that's exactly what I'm saying though(sorry if it hadn't come across that way) - the push for forced real name policies is stupid - the main stated goal of it was to improve the quality of discussion and accountability, yet it clearly does no such thing. HN is completely anonymous and yet has much higher standard for discussions compared to literally any other forum I know.

And yes, I would also like people to speak openly about their thoughs - despite my earlier comment, I would defend their right to say those things openly, just as much I would defend my right to call those things vile or stupid.

The article mentions Epictetus (incorrectly as "Roman"; he's actually Greek). While he's fantastic[1] on his own, I think Seneca (the Roman Stoic) writes more beautifully about pleasure and virtue—particularly in his essay 'On the Happy Life', a letter he wrote to his brother. Two out-of-context quotes from it (excuse the length):

• "But pleasure is extinguished precisely at the time when it delights. It does not have much space, and so it ﬁlls it quickly and it becomes tedious, fading after its ﬁrst onset. And nothing is ever stable whose nature consists in motion. Thus there cannot even be any substance to a thing that comes in and passes through so speedily, and will perish precisely in its usage. You see, it hurtles toward its cessation, and even as it begins it looks to the end."

• "Just as in a ﬁeld that has been plowed for corn some ﬂowers grow up in between, yet all that work was not undertaken for this little plant, however much it pleases the eyes (the sower had another outcome in mind, and this supervened)—so too, pleasure is not the reward or the motive of virtue but an accessory [...]"

Read the essay in full, it contains evocative "word pictures" and several parts of it are laugh-out-loud funny.

(The translation I used for the above quotes is 'Hardship and Happiness'; Chicago University Press.)

[1] I strongly suggest to immerse yourself into this edition 'Epictetus Discourses, Fragments, and Handbook' (Robin Hard and Chris Gill; Oxford World's Classics). This is the most accurate and readable English translation.

About a decade ago I was already doing technical documentation like that by using DITA and Oxygen XML Author (there are other alternatives).

Terrible suggestion. We need to kill all these c'isms as fast as possible. Teach people to write nice data-structures, with good api's, and with generic and sensible types. All these C'isms like returning -1 for false and 'nil' children seriously sucks. For a systems class it might still be suitable, but you could design good courses around other languages like ada, zig, rust w/e.

If you want to teach them a lisp as a first language, at least use Racket, which actually have modules designed for education. I think it's less of a headache to use a language with a more modern syntax, like python or pyret, but Racket is excellent of course. You can introduce lisp later in a undergraduate compiler/interpreter class so you don't have to talk about parsing for a month.
This was my experience too. Tried countless antidepressants starting in middle school. SSRIs/SNRIs never really worked, as an adult they would actually trigger manic episodes (which I misinterpreted as fixing my depression because I was productive and felt great).

I had a manic episode after a vacation (turns out that messing up your sleep schedule from jet lag can trigger them) and finally decided to get help. Lamictal was a night and day difference for me. Wish I'd figured it out sooner but it's hard to recognize when you mostly just see the anxiety and depression.
I think once people see that their 'other party' preferences are at least being represented in the early rounds, they will gain confidence in their ability to express their actual desires in the ranking. The understanding that third parties actually have a real chance if they get enough voters' first choices will wake up the Ds and Rs that they can't just coast and hand wave anymore or they'll get tossed out.
In no particular order:

- Lisp only needs parentheses because its operators have variable arity, that’s about as deep as the “type system” goes.

- The concatenative languages wiki <https://concatenative.org> only lists Om <http://om-language.org> among the (non-reverse) Polish notation concatenative languages, but its semantics are a bit more tricky than those for RPN languages when expressed in terms of left-to-right evaluation (stream processing, not stacks).

- Unrelated, but see XY <http://www.nsl.com/k/xy/xy.htm> for a very elegant RPN semantics.

- I think I’ve heard that the APL semantics is commonly described right to left so might be related?

- The proposed Lisp-2 notation with a syntactic distinction between operators and operands strongly reminds me of how the Self expression syntax <https://handbook.selflanguage.org/2017.1/langref.html#expres...> works (its main difference from Smalltalk).
That’s not exactly an academic source.

Anyone moderately awake during the election cycle is keenly aware we have a preferential voting system (and the basic mechanics) as preference deals between parties are keenly covered by the media.

When you segment based on age and sex you are dividing up people based on their starting conditions - people who were born in the same year, and with the same sex, compete to see who is the best. When you divide based on the attributes that matter for the sport, you are basically just pre-ranking everyone and bucketing them so you only compete against those who we predict will do as well as you. Which is fine for more casual levels of sport, but isn't particularly interesting to watch.

No one wants to watch a competition to see who is the "best of people we think are ranked 100-200" since it is an arbitrary grouping. They want to see people compete to be the best woman or man in the world.

Dividing based on weight makes sense for some sports since it is an added constraint that people compete to optimize their strength against. But dividing based on strength just moves the competition from the actual competition, into the ranking process.
Some web application hacking in action in this medical paper:

> .. none of the deleted sequencing runs could be accessed through the SRA’s web interface. In addition, none of the runs could be accessed using the command-line tools of the SRA Toolkit. For instance, running fastq-dump SRR11313485 orvdb-dump SRR11313485 returned the message “err: query unauthorized while resolving query within virtual file system module - failed to resolve accession ’SRR11313485’“.

For a long time I was happily sitting in the “I have no use for cryptocurrency” zone, occasionally checking in to see if things changed or reading a blog post here and there to see if there was something I was missing. But as the energy usage has ramped up to nation-state levels without an accompanying increase in usefulness, I’ve slid much more in the “cryptocurrency is dangerous to humanity” direction.

Idk if I’d call it a “fractal set of scams”, but I think “more bad than good” is a fair characterization.
I keep coming back to the idea that HTML needs to phase out making way for a modern rendering language.

Then when I start thinking about what that would mean I realize it's almost always going to be an evolution not a revolution for the following reasons...

1) No one wants to deliver two UIs, one for HTML legacy browsers, and one for the hot new browser rendering.

2) Who would own the standards? If it's a consortium we'll be back to lengthy RFPs and glacier pace of agreement, possibly resulting in something worse than HTML that does not get adopted. I can't see how any one organization could own the standard and get other browser developers to buy into it.

HTML+CSS is so integral to everyday life it's hard to see how it could ever be deprecated.
No, they “f** you I got mine” attitude is exactly what a person like myself hates to see. It’s the same thing as FB pushing for social media/internet regulations, it makes you wonder why they are pushing for it.

Converting between crypto and fiat wasn't exactly straightforward when Darknet drug markets were the primary use case, but it was still done frequently. It will always be possible to use something like LocalMonero/LocalBitcoin or a decentralized exchange like Bisq or Haveno to convert as you wish.

And as long as crypto is accepted in a single country you're good. Centralized exchanges will just move to countries that haven't banned exchanges.

I think the thing that surprises me the most about this situation is that people are surprised. KSA is a brutal, authoritarian regime currently waging a nigh genocidal campaign down in Yemen, and we keep selling them ungodly amounts of weapons no matter what they do. Why wouldn’t we train their assassination squads? It’s far from the worst thing we’ve enabled them to do. I think the blockade of food that’s caused roughly 100,000 children starve to death is probably a wee bit worse, all things considered.

Both conversions from and to LaTeX are of top quality.

The conversion from LaTeX into TeXmacs have been tested on a large number of documents downloaded from ArXiv.

The conservative conversion options are experimental, but they can be used in TeXmacs 2.1.

I don't know of any other similarly good converters between LaTeX and another format.

I've successfully used TeXmacs to take more than 100 pages of notes live during a math class. The keyboard shortcuts used to build math formulas are extremely effective and quite easy to learn. I still use it from time to time when I need to write a quick draft of some idea with formulas, or as a wysiwig editor for non-technical text documents. Unfortunately it is not compatible with LaTeX in both directions (export works, import is only partially supported), which means I'm unable to use it when collaborating with other researchers that are used to LaTeX. I'll be happy when LaTeX dies the horrible death it deserves and a better structured document format like TeXmacs emerges as a new consensus, but sadly I don't see that happenning in the forseeable future.

It's interesting to think about how one generation's tech becomes the next one's landscape, the next one's heritage, the next one's cultural horizons.

Picture this: 25 years after we no longer need to maintain huge data centers, after that infrastructure has become obsolete (let's suppose it will), there will start to be tourism. "Hey come look at this gigantic facility, now falling into ruins, that an obsolete corporation called Google once kept so secure."
Ah yes, that makes perfect sense! I'm sure that's why I never had to worry about it.
Others have mentioned that compilers take advantage of these things for optimization, but haven't mentioned that compilers will still often do unexpected things when encountering UB with optimizations off.

Turning optimizations on doesn't suddenly undefine any behavior, it just changes what the compiler does when encountering some of those behaviors (among other, non-UB based optimizations). A non-optimizing compiler and an optimizing compiler both have to conform to the standard.

> you spend every day of your life fighting the nagging feeling that you don't actually identify with gender you're "supposed to" identify with

I have no problem with believing that some people aren't the gender they physically represent. But, in my mind, arriving to the conclusion that 'I don't identify as a male, therefore I must be female' isn't right.

> And why am I a woman? Because I'm a woman

Again, they don't actually know that they're a woman. They know they're not male, for sure, and I'm fully on board with that. But insisting that they're female... I'm not sure. Is 'trans woman' not sufficient?

Benjamin Boyce has a YT channel that deals with some of this stuff that I watch occasionally to try help understand.
I had exactly the same problems, and I decided to change not my backup strategy, but my deployment strategy. I wrote a small tool to deploy everything in a single directory, using Docker Compose:

https://gitlab.com/stavros/harbormaster

It allows you to separate important state (data) from non-important state (caches). This way, all you need to do is back up the data directory, and then you can restore the Harbormaster config file (along with the data) on the new server and you're done.

One could endlessly debate the merits of Lisp dialects for game development, but at least in the Crash era it was a big win for us. Naughty Dog migrated away from Lisp in the PS3 era, I believe. (I was long gone by then.)

It was very powerful to be able to write code for critters and other animated objects in GOOL/GOAL because it was both conceptually simple and compiled into tiny amounts of code, which mattered a lot when you only had 2MB of RAM (half of which was video RAM if I recall correctly).

Yes, the name choice is indeed unfortunate and one of my biggest regrets concerning TeXmacs.

I believe it could be replaced by a platform agnostic language for describing interfaces. Imagine a universal standard for representing data on screen, where each platform could differentiate by building their specific abstractions on top of it.
