> Solution is to relax hiring requirements. The strength of the languages is what they do inherent to themselves due to their VM and standard library. You need people who know how to use them directing the effort, but once the design is there most people can pick it up.

Yeah, I gotta disagree... a lot of folks grossly underestimate the challenge of learning an _entirely_ new VM and language at the same time. Example, I can't count the number of silly things I've seen because someone obviously hasn't really grokked that BEAM will preempt processes. Or the amount of superfluous testing I see around gen servers when folks could directly call the function they intend to test...That is to say, I've watched a lot of folks try to write things coming from other VMs and languages and constantly miss the mark. What works for language or runtime X likely doesn't work that way on the BEAM and may not even translate.

> The people (i.e. voters) overwhelmingly support action to limit climate change. That's the reason those laws are politically viable in the first place.

A poll conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs research found that 57 percent of Americans would vote for a $1 fee added to their monthly electricity bill to “combat climate change,” but only 28 percent would agree to pay an additional $10 per month.

The question began with $1, then $10, and rose after that in $10 increments, but a majority of those polled opposed every amount more than $1. By the time the figure reached $100 per month, just 16 percent said yes and 82 percent said no.

Until the late 90's the entire Internet was this way - even .com domains were subject to the Internet AUPs (Acceptable Use Policies) that strictly banned "commercial" use of the Internet.

AUPs lasted only a very short time after O'Reilly showed their Global Network Navigator site at Interop showcasing the capabilites of a new graphical web browser from NCSA called Mosaic that could - gasp! - display inline images along with the HTML hypertext! (Probably hard for the younger crowd here to believe, but early browsers had to open images in a separate window, sometimes with a separate image viewer helper program. Yeah, really. Mosaic was a game-changer, that made the vision of the modern web obvious to at least 1% of the people who saw it.)

... or perhaps do something about Climate Change?

The problem is that we don't get to make choices as a world or even as a species about what is overall best. As a race, we often devolve to individuals doing what seems best at the moment... much like the last of a pair of birds being brought together to mate.

While lamentable, I don't see why people will react any different re: climate policy. Of course people will say 'Yes I support policy to prevent condo collapse.' These same people will, as demonstrated, say 'No do not spend my money to prevent condo collapse.'

This isn't bad: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/what-is-a-prion-s...

The basic punchline is that while prion diseases are terrifying, there's not a lot of them and they are quite specific - you have to have a protein which is already able to adopt that conformational structure, and it has to be a protein we already make natively, as prions only work with what's there.

We are probably still missing part of the picture as well: i.e. the prion diseases which cause problems are brain diseases, we don't see the same issue with other tissues.

It would be difficult to actually induce a prion disease in someone via genetic vaccine in the first place, since prion's notably don't have a genetic component - and in the case of vCJD the infectious and benign protein sequences are the same (i.e. the coding is already something we carry, they're conformational jumps).

>How far into the future would be both meaningful and realistic before banning the main product of a huge, mass market, capital intensive industry?

Infinite or undefined.

You can't just ban the technology that underpins most transportation (which underpins the economy). It doesn't work like that. You can try. It won't work out well. You have to replace it with something better and let the lions share of the changeover be voluntary. Only then is it realistic to ban the remnants.
This looks like a worthwile change, helping in specific situations, when used sparsely.

Personally I see bulk changes as something that is legitimate change and should appear in the blame history, the same way refactorings are supposed to be functionnaly equivalent but we all know it’s not that easy and need to keep an eye on when they were done.

Having massive commits clutter history also looks like a good incentive to avoid massive commits in the first place.
There is a large difference in saying vitamin D is a "potent inhibitor" of COVID, and seeing that there is a correlation between people with normal levels of vitamin D and less severe COVID. Though even still the study results are mixed and still not ironclad, which is my point. And obviously any doctor (and I) would tell their patient to supplement vitamin D levels if they were low, but they would never say this somehow makes you safe(r) from COVID.

The OP is throwing around giant misleading statements like "potent inhibitor", while chiding others for incorrectly stating tiny details.

The vaccine is a "potent inhibitor" of COVID, and we all have the data to prove it. There is no other substance, other than monoclonals, which would meet that standard.
Since you have a contrarian view I'd be curious to hear your take on some reasons I like to travel:

- Get a feel for life in a place. How do people live? Where do people eat? How do people move around? Where do people congregate? How does life ebb and flow throughout the day and week? Obviously each one can be expanded to more questions, but I like to experience these things and then compare and contrast. What do I like? Is this better or worse or just different?

- Try new cuisines. It can be really hard to get an "authentic" experience outside of a country for a variety of reasons

- Activities. Skiing can't be done everywhere

- Natural wonders. I find viewing certain nature scenes in person very satisfying

no view source! that broke the basic treatise of the internet. it wasn't a protocol, wasnt a medium: it was someone else highjacking your shit & doing what they wanted in a filthy untouchable applicationized sandbox you had no power over it. you the user has no power, no visibility, no say. application,. it a medium: out of your reach.

very little of this submitted screed touches upon this area, but to me the anti-webassembly remarks feel very close fit to anti-flash remarks. js has gotten bad, but I continue to think eventually we'll see better actors (especially with an arisal of custom elements). webassembly makes me think the web will get anti-web anti-understandable, anti-user as a medium increasingly for the next 50 years probably, most of my remaining life. doing good & being a respectful medium will be just as possible as without webassembly, but there will be so much energy & focus on an industrialized non-user non-acessible non-user-agency dark world shadow-nightmare hell-web because of webhassembly, that will absolutely dominate & be enticing to so so so wide a range of the alpha geeks... while users lose & lose & lose.

Sure, it isn't destroyed immediately and the mRNA is used multiple time, but that's still ultimately the ribosomes damaging the mRNA from use.

>Pack it all up, boys, programming's over. Hello, AI.

I don't know, cranking out some suggestion for a function is not the same as writing a complete module / application.

Take the job of a translator, you would say the job would go extinct with all the advances in autotranslation? here it says that 'employment of interpreters and translators is projected to grow 20 percent from 2019 to 2029, much faster than the average for all occupations' [1]. You still need a human being to clear up all of the ambiguities of languages.

Maybe the focus of the stuff we do will change, though; but on the other hand, we do tend to get a lots of changes in programming; it goes with the job. maybe we will get to do more code reviews of what was cranked out by some model.

However, within a decade it might be harder to get an entry level job as a programmer. I am not quite sure if i should suggest my profession to my kids, we might get a more competitive environment in some not so distant future.

It's one perspective. And I think it's a good one.

We're not 100% keeping score here: some kids will die they day after they graduate high school, but on the whole people start lives as children, have a period of productivity and then are too old to really be productive.

Find a doctor that specializes in treatment resistant depression, which IIRC is defined as failing more than two conventional antidepressant.

I'm anything but objective on this, but I'm convinced that SSxx classes of antidepressants are entirely useless for depression (and likely anything else).

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5299662/

The usual method is IV ketamine treatment, every 6 weeks, but this can cost $400+ per session, which at the time I started treatment was not an option. My doctor went out on a limb for me and prescribed intranasal ketamine, which is off-label, and only $60 for a six week supply. I was taking it every three days for several years.

There is also intranasal esketamine, which is quite likely what you will be offered these days, as it has received FDA approval. Unfortunately, this is not as effective as regular intranasal ketamine, while getting you 'higher' into the bargain. Why did this get drug get developed? Because ketamine isn't patentable, but an enantiomer of ketamine (s-ketamine) is, so there was money to pay for clinical trials and pharmaceutical executive enrichment. The other enantiomer, r-ketamine, is actually less innebriative and more therapeutic. So, why produce s-ketamine? There's no reasonable explanation for them to bring s-ketamine to market other than to be able to milk the patents as long as possible.

That said, I'd still encourage you to pursue s-ketamine, if it is your only option, but IV ketamine may be better route, if you can afford it: insurance will cover esketamine, but not IV ketamine.

I should mention: It's not clear whether the ketamine alone was responsible for the bladder discomfort (which was never more than a mild sensation - I discontinued mainly out of concern that it might worsen): it's likely that autoimmune illness played a part too. It's not usual to experience this on the dose of ketamine that I was taking. S-ketamine is not any easier on the bladder, and it was able to pass the clinical trials.

Good luck.

I am a fan of Apple Notes because they support syncing with Fastmail's Notes[1], so I could access my notes from iPhone and web, and my data is not locked into Apple's ecosystem.

But I got irritated with Apple Notes. It lacks Markdown support. It auto-converts my note from plaintext to rich text anytime I start numbering, bulleting, or pasting, without a way to convert the note back to plaintext. Lastly, my notes had no structure or hierarchy. They were simply sorted by last-modified date.

So this month I researched note-taking apps having (1) Markdown support, and (2) support for syncing my data to Fastmail. Because again, I don't want to be locked into Apple. I settled on 1Writer[2]. It syncs to WebDAV endpoints, which Fastmail offers. My notes are now files, and I can organize them into folders, all within 1Writer.

For now, I love it. Markdown support is great, including highlighting in edit mode, and I don't miss anything from Apple Notes.

What is a 'plastic' personality dimension?
The diagram is bad; the context is worse.

Firstly, "volts of power" even by itself is very, very poor language in an EE topic, never mind "positive and negative sides of 6V of power".

By labeling two nodes of a circuit as -6V and +6V, you are showing that that's what the voltages are at those points (relative to some common reference) and thus the potential difference between them is 12V. That's the standard interpretation when you put a number next to a node of the circuit, and put a V suffix on it.

What the diagram is communicating, to someone who can read circuits, is that R2 is dropping 12V, on a DC supply of 9V.

The diagram is also neglecting to show some ground reference that is understandable as 0V, to indicate relative to what are those other voltages being referenced.

By convention, the default place for that would be the - terminal of the battery. So the bottom of R2 would be shown as 0V, and the middle of the voltage divider, top of R2, as 6V (which matches what is already notated).

It may be that the -6V is supposed to be referenced from the top of the R2 resistor, but this is confusing and inconsistent; all voltages for the same circuit should use the same reference.

If you want to show that the bottom of R2 is down 6V from the top, you can label those nodes of the circuit, like R2a and R2b, and then write a formula: R2b - R2a = -6V which shows that R2b is -6V down from R2a.
