OMG THIS

This is my favorite answer to why this should or should not qualify as a compiler.

If translating to c is a compiler then anything is a compiler and the term has no meaning at all.
excellent app! Now I just need to figure out how to sync my vault that I keep backed to a remote Git repo.

Also, I saw this (An Interactive Introduction to Zettelkasten) on reddit today and felt like sharing. This goes hand in hand with tools like Obsidian, Logseq, or Roam:

Your assumption is it's only US tax evasion. It's also about getting money out of other countries and evading their taxes, creating values of wealth store. Much like the real estate industry in key markets of the US, foreign investors don't care about paying more if it means they can safely get their cash out of host countries.
Gaming is, in fact, the only reason to have Windows installed on any computer. Even though Wine and Proton are impressive projects, I'm somewhat pessimistic about their ability to completely replace Windows.

I won't be sad if I'm wrong there.
As someone whose gotten pretty involved in advocacy work in the city, this is the sad chain of events that I can imagine might work(Probably not within 30days though):

1. Contact the local community board where the business is and try and speak during public hours during a meeting. Let them know the situation, point out how badly it's impacting business and see if they can reach out to their contacts to get a direct contact. Attendance and representation at these meetings skews heavily towards older wealthier people, so they likely have much more experience working within the system.

2. NYPD reps usually show up at CB meetings. After you speak, talk to one of the NYPD reps and get their info in front of everyone. If you go directly to the precinct there's practically a 0% chance anything productive will happen(especially because you can't legally record anything in a precinct anymore), but the reps they send to CB meetings have to look like they're doing something and will likely give you a card with their personal email and phone number. If you send an email to them about the situation, you'll have another form of documentation to put up, even if they do nothing to help directly.

3. Contact your local councilmember's office via phone. YMMV, but I was very surprised how receptive mine was to complaints I had and how quickly they were able to get some situations resolved after a few emails.
Im not the person youre responding to but I have a similar experience and I usually let the pairs make their own decisions about how they work. I've found that to be many times more effective than "switch every x minutes" or interfering in any other way. Let them work it out. I only step in if there's a problem (students not showing up, refusing to work, etc -- which is very, very rare).
It looks like they are still around though, and at least seem to be active. The specific laptop itself, probably not, olpc does not seem to fit this list. I agree.
Boiling this down to biz vs gov is a false dichotomy.

There's some fundamental "usability" spectrum aligned with "optional-ness" vs "mandatory-ness". Equifax, Experian, Trans Union, etc have some of the worst customer service of all time. They make egregious errors and are not held accountable. My experiences with the DMV (another semi-mandatory service) pale in comparison with those 3 companies.

Of all the bad experiences I've had, it almost always comes down to "Do I have other options and how easy is it to opt-out?". The harder it is to opt-out, the worse my experience has been.
I enjoy this suggestion and would be reasonably happy with it. However I'd prefer the games be held somewhere with particularly good air quality. Right now Athens air quality is somewhat low, which could negatively affect results. Additionally, I'd worry about Greece's ability to host winter olympics in the future with continued climate/weather trends.

While mountain air is often cleaner, I think sea level would be most appropriate, again for the fastest times for most events. Very short sprints (100m dash, for example) are faster at high altitudes. The lower oxygen content negatively affects medium and long distance events but the lower atmospheric drag more than compensates for short sprints.

Perhaps you could hold it somewhere like California, Taiwan, Oman, or Alaska, where there are high mountains very close to the coast. That way you could hold events at whatever altitude is most optimal for performance, while minimizing travel distance between the venues.

Anchorage seems like a fine choice at first. Great air quality but not so pristine that the infrastructure would ruin an unspoiled area. There are two mountain ranges within a couple-hour drive. However the tallest range (Alaska Range) is in an undeveloped national park so putting infrastructure there could be quite damaging. Also the tallest peak, Denali, is sacred to Native Americans. The Chugach range is much closer to Anchorage and has quite a bit of tourism infrastructure but the peaks are lower - 7,000 to 8,000 ft peaks vs the 11,000 to 20,000 ft of the undeveloped Alaska Range.

Indoor plants require cleaning? Any links to that? first i've heard or seen that statement. I can't imagine ANY justification for literally cleaning a plant that just happens to be grown indoors...?
>For example, sometimes my tomatoes need a little extra magnesium.

How do you go about determining this? I just built a 400 sq. ft. greenhouse this year, and aside from watching the plants get bigger each day, I'm not really sure how to tell if I'm "doing it right".
Some people, yes, if their occupation required it (merchants, mercenaries). But a lot of rural people were not even allowed to leave their village without permission of their lord.

Edit: sorry, my own brain fart. Going to the market in a town nearby was absolutely OK. What wasn't OK was to move away from the village if you were a villein. You owed your lord a certain amount of service.
Losing fat without any attempt to track calories in vs calories out is like trying to improve the performance of an algotighm without profiling it or tracking how the changes made affect the outcome.

If you’re serious about losing fat, it’s essential helps to track the calories you eat, calories you burn, macro nutrient split (carbs, fats, proteins) and your weight.

- Calculate your TDEE (Total daily energy expenditure, also known as `maintenance calories`) There are many online calculators to do this
- Calculate your daily calorie intake to lose weight (Subtract 15-20% from your `maintenance calories`)
- Decide on a rough macro nutrient split (40% protein, 40% carb, 20% fat is a good place to start)
- Track the calories you eat and burn. There are apps for this that make it very easy (myfitnesspal is one example)
- Weigh yourself regularly and record it (Daily is better, first thing in the morning, without clothes and after any restroom activity)
- If you’re not losing weight, increase your daily exercise or reduce your calories by a further 5% until you see your weight going down
- Note: A healthy weight loss strategy is to aim to lose 1-2 lbs per week

You can absolutely loose fat without doing any of this but it’s 100x harder and will take much longer.
Once you try both, it's really just some common sense:

1. Operating on intrusive containers requires no heap operations, all control structures are preallocated. This is golden, and in more ways than one.

2. Keeping an item in multiple containers has the exact same semantics as storing it in just one. With STL it requires switching from storing items to storing pointers to them. Meaning that you can't throw foo from an existing list into some extra map without reworking all list-related code.
Detroit is a prime example of failed industry, and horrible leadership.
Exactly, I doubt they'd be worth much in that context.
My cousin does something like this as well. I do not, I'm a full-time engineer, family breadwinner, and a homeowner. We talked about our respective budgets a few months ago...they could not be more different. He doesn't have any of the major line items on my monthly budget, which requires on the order of $2,500/mo at a bare minimum, which is easily met by working for 40 hours a week and drawing a dependable paycheck. He does odd jobs, usually various forms of graphic design with Photoshop or Illustrator - making up new menus for a restaurant, logos or website headers and design elements for a small business, T-shirt design for a church retreat or sports league, photoshopping a portrait for someone's anniversary, anything where you'd want someone 'artsy' but don't know who to call. A job might be between $50 and $500, the jobs and contacts come and go. Sometimes he's busy day after day, sometimes he'll go weeks without a job.

Weeks without a job, I say! How do you survive? Well, he sublets from a couple friends, but isn't on the lease himself; he usually keeps a month ahead of rent but sometimes can't find the money and will 'get behind', they're generally accommodating; moreso than a bank. He has no mortgage, no car, no car insurance, no car payments, doesn't need a line item for gas and car maintenance because he doesn't drive or commute, doesn't have expensive hobbies, has no cell phone bills (uses a prepaid phone that he tops up and uses as needed/as budgets allow), internet is part of his sublet room, has no TV, no garbage/recycling bills, no lawn care or other services, no home insurance...Critically, he has no health insurance - which sucks come tax season and would really suck if he wasn't a 25 year old in fine health who thinks he's invincible. Relatedly to being an invincible 25-year-old, he has no IRA or 401k.

Groceries cost about $200/month, his sublet of one room costs about the same, he doesn't have any other dependents, and if you don't want them there's not really anything else that someone needs to buy. To hire any professional for much of anything costs about $500, in a big city that's basically the minimum price of a day or two of skilled labor. If he can get one job that will pay him that much in any given month, his minimum budget needs are met.

Someday, he says, he'll want to move out and settle down and start on a career progression, but he's tried the 40 hour wage slave model and loathed it, and his lifestyle in the big city is fun for now. If by "big city living" you mean all the budget items you'd expect of a homeowner in a small town, but scaled up to downtown living by means of a 6-figure salary, no, this lifestyle won't pay those bills.
I feel like the needing to forget your base keymap would make learning with a keyboard much harder. A made up example if I saw the new letter for "s", I'd tell myself it's located where "k" is and then I'd be confused if it was k or s when I saw it.

> ML is an associative statistical system of function optimisation

You can also separate cause from effect by using causal inference, under some assumptions.

> ML makes the assumption that data points are IID.

Common ML algorithms do, but it is done for practical reasons rather than a limitation in the mathematics.

> The whole purpose of science is to produce models which explain why data isnt IID.

And ML can greatly help in this, though it is not a silver bullet.
I'm not here to debate the virtues of linked-lists, I'm just pointing out that they're extremely idiomatic in Lisp, so it's weird to implement a basic Lisp that doesn't use them, because anybody running idiomatic code in it will be in for a big surprise.
This is fascinating. I'm sorry for what he had to go through. Sometimes we just don't think things through before executing the idea :). Would be cool to see another attempt in various locations around the world like internet cafes or some-such places. With the blessing of the location owners of course.
> Anyway, I doubt reduction of calories is how you're going to keep your desired weight

People at a healthy weight consume less calories. Caloric intake has a perfect correlation with obesity. The psychological element is hugely difficult, but the science of "if you eat more you're going to be heavier" is very firm.

The Japanese eat, on average, 25% less calories than Americans. They have an obesity rate of 4% versus 36% in the US. This despite eating loads of "bad" calories like simple carbs (white processed rice).
Yes, and that's why the adage "sunlight is the best disinfectant" when applied to an absolutist free speech argument is BS. For every one person you manage to free of their delusions, the other 99 just strengthen their resolve.

? Referer contains tracking information. This doesn't..
I grew up here and I agree. I lived elsewhere for a while and it was amazing having something approaching freedom for once, no crazy gun laws and taxes and even the DMV was better - no crazy long forms with redundant/unnecessary information, just put some stuff in a website then walk in with your documents. No unnecessary inspection and other stickers cluttering up the windshield either. Last state didn't even make me mail the plates back like NY would so I got to keep them as a memento. NY is additionally the only or almost only place left to not allow those little gas pump flaps that keep them on when you walk away.

I unfortunately had to move back for a family issue but I can't wait to get out again. I think next time I might get some nice land in Wyoming, about as opposite NY as you can get.

The only real benefit I see is 1) Wikipedia, Sci-Hub, Archive/LibGen, and 2) the increase in general literacy that came from people commenting/posting.

I think 2) gets underestimated a lot - 10 years ago you could recognize a lot of stupid comments by the fact that they capitalized every word or the grammar and spelling were horrific. Those people didn't stop posting, they learned how to express themselves well through practice.
GitQlient 1.4.0
Boxes play into it, but a rare, desirable edition with a bad box will probably be worth more than a common edition with a good box. The box is just one more dimension to grade the games on because collectors are always looking for something more pristine, and cartridges will generally be in good shape.

I still think it's silly--I just get the "box" motivation.
In my experience the recommendation to move away from RSA is only true for building entirely new systems. RSA isn't yet recommended against in the sense that using RSA (with sufficient key length, and avoiding the known footguns) to talk with systems that are too old to understand the newer curves is not considered insecure.

It fails to mention the performance penalty with channels.
On Windows one way is to create multiple user accounts and switch between them. With fast user switching you can multiple people logged on and move between them. If you need to share files, you can just setup the access rights to allow it.

Another convenient way is to user the browser profile. Chrome, Edge and Firefox all support them. For some apps (Slack, Teams) there's not much difference if you are running it inside browser or a the separate client app.

In general the issue likely exists, not because companies are stupid, but because resources are limited and multi-profile support is not likely top priority for the most important customers (large organizations).
I knew a girl in school who had one of these. It was a neat little gadget at a cheap cost, but was criticized for not solving more pressing issues (water, schools) and there was no training provided for teachers. The laptops also weren't sustainable and difficult to repair.

Indirectly, we all did. By increasing demand for oil. By insisting on higher profits. By voting for politicians that don't put harsher regulations in place. Our way of living became quite an environmental liability it seems, and that makes us all to some degree part of the problem.

I wonder if they are capable of having the convenience features of CircuitPython boards of being able to appear as a USB storage device that you just drop firmware or code into. That would be killer. Even more killer would be if you could just drop an "a.out" and have it work. I hate installing microcontroller toolchains, especially STM32 and all that DFU crap.

The problem is this case it was never designed to work this way from the start. It's a bunch of cobbled together systems, some from acquisitions, that are now forced to play nicely together.

As much as we like to think that Microsoft has infinite resources to re-write everything, they really don't. They have the same problems the rest of us have. Now I have to get back to figuring out why a half dozen users from our HR system are failing to import.

EDIT: Those users failed to import because the vendor changed an internal column name last week that is exposed in the export (and now it even has a typo). Ah, The joys of software development.
> you'll be copying and re-allocating almost the whole thing on every loop iteration.

This is true if the list is writeable, but, if so surely a Lisp has to also keep duplicating the list or else it will get into trouble?

For reading the list why shouldn't Rust use a slice of the vector? The slice can't own anything, but that's OK, we aren't changing anything. The slice is very cheap, it's basically a pointer into the vector plus a length count.
After years of putting off handwriting Japanese since almost all of my communication was verbal or over the internet where I had to type it - my experience was that writing is vastly more important than people make it out to be. Especially the kind of people who are only interested in verbal communication (of which I was one).

My experience mirrors this study for Japanese at least. Instead of typing sentences for vocabulary learning I have a journal where I write them instead. I'd say I learn words and kanji more quickly ever since I made that change.

So while the study was for Arabic, and from scratch, my experience is from Japanese and roughly 1 - 1.5 years into learning (so wasn't a novice/from scratch at that point).
Well, if you think OLPC was a deliberate grift—I don't—then it's like the moral difference between scamming buyers looking for an Internet-connected juicer and scamming donors looking to help the world.

As a non-deliberate grift—I guess the same math applies? Wildly overpromising and underdelivering on a picnic cooler seems somehow less morally problematic than wildly overpromising and underdelivering on an effort to improve third-world childhood education.

Of course, the counterpoint is that Silicon Valley (or MIT Media Lab) bros whose hearts are in the right place deserve plaudits for their ill-informed-but-generally-well-meaning efforts, even if those efforts waste millions of dollars that could have gone to more effective altruistic endeavors.

Which, like, yeah, that's an argument, I guess?
One of the predicted winners of climate change is Russia. It's supposed to thaw fertile lands that are currently under permafrost and open up new shipping lanes. Obviously even Russia will experience some downsides but the positives could easily outweigh the bad.

To echo that sentiment. Does anyone believe Google under Sundar Pichai actually believes in anything open and private, given how many google employees during his reign have tried to organize against what google stands for, only to be shut down.
