The goal isn't to code to finish the project and ignore any questionable code you've written because "it works".

It's to write a lot of code which is practice in the end. It's expected you'll be doing an ongoing combination of writing code and looking things up as you go, but you're not looking for the first working solution that you copy / paste and move on. The topics you end up researching will lead you to write good code if you put in the effort.

There's been plenty of examples of doing this where I spent hours going over a few functions because I wanted to make sure I was doing things nicely and the journey to go from the original version to the end version lead to learning a lot. That might have been reading through 5 pages worth of search results, skimming as many videos as I could find and maybe even asking an open question somewhere which yielded code examples written by people who have been working with the language for years.

You can then use all of that as input to guide your code. Through out the process I may have written a few versions and ultimately landed on 1 based on what feels good when using it, isn't too clever, easy to test, easy to understand, runs quickly, etc. Basically all of the properties that make code good.

The word radicalized is also way overused.

Orban is seen as hateful or radicalising because he is against illegal immigration. He has made a big marketing point about this.

But that doesn't mean that there aren't legitimate concerns about illegal immigration that Hungarians might have. Just because Western european nations have decided they don't mind if they add 1-2% yearly to their populations of a culturally totally different type of person, doesn't mean that that is normal or "good".

Orban is using these emotions for his own purposes. That's true. But it's not Orban that is creating these issues, or the concerns about them.
From 2015. Seems like enthusiasm about IPFS has waned quite a bit, at the same time some places just support it without much fanfare?
Cool, ISO 10646 was there, but sadly ISO 9995-7 is not.
In the area, I agree. But Netanyahu chose to spurn democratic European allies and allign Israel with Hungary and Poland.
Basically he made western Europe an enemy of Israel because he chose settlements over a peace process, to alleviate the foreign pressure he alligned Israel with Hungary and Poland, also helping Russia with its cold European conflict.

> Isn't the U.S selling arms to Saudi Arabia?

How's that relevant? If you're fishing for hypocrisy, be assured I dislike the US take on democracy and it's leaders of late no less than Netanyahu.

But At least the US has a constitution, checks and balances. And a tradition of freedom and democracy.
Israel has a growing population, the parts that grow are mostly lacking any sense of democratic values or tradition. Guess which electorate Netanyahu spurned and which he focused his Messiyah propaganda on.
I would not overemphasize the cultural differences between the Balkan people and call Yugoslavia a super state. The history of the people there is intertwined and national divisions are very much superimposed by ideologists.
That mitigates the risk, but it relies on the assumption that you'll notice when files get encrypted. It's not a guarantee, malwares can hide themselves long enough for you to plug both disks before you notice.

Yes you could implement OptaPlanner in Prolog but then you are no longer using the Prolog language facilities.

> All governments are aristocracies.

All states are. Not all systems of government are states.

> media manipulations of wide populous

The media is owned by the same "aristocracy" that controls the state.

In the US and other capitalist countries the aristocracy mostly consists of billionaires and a few political "clans" (usually with ties to "old money"). In the USSR the aristocracy was the Bolshevik intelligentsia and former capitalists that formed the bureaucracy. The problem isn't inherent to humanity, it's inherent to centralized systems.

The video you linked actually supports this somewhat: a ruler can't rule alone, they need a staff of advisors and delegates to carry out the ruler's orders. But this is only a problem if you try to have a ruler, or a committee of rulers.

The usual counter-argument is that decentralized systems don't work at scale. You can have small communities decide things with direct democracy but clearly that doesn't scale because it's harder to reach consensus the larger the group becomes. To address this I would invite you to read into Democratic Confederalism or watch Anark's aptly-titled video "after the revolution"[0] that explores a very similar anarchist/mutualist governance structure.

In most of these scenarios the answer to "direct democracy doesn't scale" is a delegate system and it's easy to mistake this for the same representative democracy we're used to but the important difference is that the delegation is not only proportional but voluntary and consent can be withdrawn, either generally or on individual votes. NonCompete's video[1] has some poorly aged off-hand comments about how technology might help with this but he gives a good explanation of how such a delegate system can work. CGP Grey actually also has videos on alternative voting systems[2][3] making such a system feasible.

The main difference with these systems is that they're decentralized in the sense that power is granted explicitly and voluntarily, i.e. it can be withdrawn at a moment's notice, making it impossible to hold on to it over technicalities (like receiving a minority share of the votes but then joining a coalition government that appoints your party leader as chancellor and then passes an Enabling Act to disempower the senate like in 1933). At first glance this may sound like sovereign citizens rejecting arrest by exclaiming "I do not consent" but the important difference is that a delegate's vote is only worth as much as the number of people backing them.

You're making the implicit assumption that sex work is always inherently exploitative.

That is a common assumption shared both by social conservatives who think any sex outside marriage is wrong anyway, and certain feminist circles who seem to have a problem with seeing male sexuality as anything but a threat.

But I don't think that assumption is correct. Sure, sex work can be exploitative, and it often is. But it doesn't have to be. Just like the hospitality industry has an endemic problem with workers being exploited financially and tolerating verbally abusive behaviour from customers - yet nobody suggests restaurants in general are morally wrong and should be discouraged.

It is possible to do sex work in a non-exploitative way that maintains respect and boundaries between sex worker and client.

The problem is that you can increase short term profits by blurring boundaries, and the network effects of online platforms probaby magnify that.
need better basic stuff like pca and glm.
You are right.

On a different tack, if governments legislate some kinds of moderation for corporations, then the corporations would become an extension of the government and that would become government censorship in practice. Not good.

If governments legislate no moderation for corporations, then corporations would lose the ability to encourage different kinds of communication with moderation.

I don't see either case as healthy for freedom, capitalism, or individuals in the end.

Legislating that moderation rules must be made public, and moderation actions logged so the public could review a corporations compliance with its own chosen rules, seems reasonable to me. It would avoid deceptive moderation, which to me is a problem similar to other kinds of fraud that are outlawed.
The G20 agreed in 2009 to phase out “inefficient” fossil fuel subsidies but did not define inefficient and little progress had been made.
Way to sensationalize a quote into a headline, CNN.

Relevant portion from the article (which itself isn't much more than PR reprint and fluff):

Earlier in the day, during an interview that aired on "New Day," Crane asked Bezos, "There have been a chorus of critics saying that these flights to space are, you know, just joyrides for the wealthy, and that you should be spending your time and your money and energy trying to solve problems here on Earth. So what do you say to those critics?"

Bezos didn't tap dance around the question: He said, "Well, I say they're largely right. We have to do both. You know, we have lots of problems here and now on Earth and we need to work on those, and we always need to look to the future. We've always done that as a species, as a civilization. We have to do both." He said this mission is about "building a road to space for the next generations to do amazing things there, and those amazing things will solve problems here on Earth."

> 2. Set up snapshots to be taken periodically (hourly/daily) and sent to a different host or volume.

Does btrfs or ZFS have a way to pull snapshots in a way that they are encrypted on the client side ?

Ideally you could hire a third party to pull these backups from you, have them warn you when the process fails or doubles in size (the data
is being encrypted) and still be able to prove that there's no way they can access the data. And then the private master key(s) go into a safe.
You need to compare apples to apples, CPU Gflops/W is the number for that.

And humanity is probably stuck between 2-3 for eternity (usable cheap X86/ARM/RISC-V, not fringe prototypes).

Pi 4 uses 7W CPU full 400% blast for about 14 Gflops, how much does the LattePanda give at peak?

Next step up is Atom at 25W.

Also you have to add size of the cluster and cost of the PSU and cables to the equation.

More PCI lanes is only interesting if you plan on using them.
If they are just two copies - i.e. they happen to be identical if they're "copied properly" but there's no causal relationship where one continuously mirrors or copies attributes, behavior or outcomes of the other - then they're just two separate leaves from the "branch" that's running the simulation, there's no diamond topology.

And, of course, they might diverge for various reasons (inherent randomness or intentional tweaks in one of the simulations) at arbitrary time, reinforcing the idea that there's not one entity in two simulations but two separate entities, even if they happen to be identical at the moment, no matter if you run simulations in parallel or sequentially.

In such cases, the question of "which is the true one" is really empty, there's no meaningful notion of trueness, all instances of a similar entity are equally valid. If we'd be making copies of sentient entities, then perhaps we might want to define some distinction to privilege one of the copies over the other (e.g. in mind uploading the physical/original entity over the upload), but if the simulations are equivalent then that distinction between copies/instances is just arbitrary and all of them essentially are just as valid.
No but it tends to enforce patterns that makes it a lot more manageable.
> blessing or a curse?

It's just a footnote.

I think it's getting talked about more than it deserves to be.
There is no good reason to think that we will in fact scale to the point where we can "simulate physics to the smallest quantum details, at a universal scale, at a fraction of the energy cost of our own universe". Computing cannot scale infinitely - we already have various limits based on our incomplete models of physics and there may be even more limits that emerge with further research. Even with a quantum computer, it's unlikely that we can really simulate chaotic systems with any real semblance of accuracy. Now, that doesn't mean that we can't approximate such behavior by implementing optimizations and abstractions on top of elementory particles but if our universe is indeed a simulation, it seems to not be employing any of these.

Indeed, the only two aspects of your universe that make the idea that it's a simulation even remotely possible is the fact that there at least appears to be an ultimate smallest division of physical attributes - the plank units and the fact that there is also a specific limit on the speed of causality - c. Neither of these are a slam dunk.
If those men (and women, I am sure) didn't have porn and onlyfans, they might not have anything at all to replace those. I don't think that's immoral. Both parties benefit, even if one benefits more than the other.
The fundamental premise of the relational model is the physical/logical distinction. The relational model deliberately does not make any requirements or assumptions about how data is physically stored or structured.

The difference between relational and graph (and other NoSQL database systems) is not about particular sizes and shapes of data, it is about level of abstraction. For example assuming joins are "log(n)" makes certain assumptions about how relations and indexes are implemented which is only true for some naive implementation (like Access or MySQL).

Just as an example, materialized views is a physical-level optimization where an arbitrary complex query result is stored and kept updated, which means data can be retrieved as fast as physically possible. Of course this has a cost at insert-time, since materialized views also have to be updated - but this is a performance trade-off just like the structure of a graph database is a performance trade-off.

NoSQL databases has a tight coupling between the physical and logical structure, which makes them easier to optimize towards particular usage patterns but harder to adapt to changing requirements over time. The relational model was specifically designed for large databases used by multiple applications and changing over time.
>we should expect and accept that people are violent to them?

Accept no, expect absolutely. Which is why boundaries and control mechanisms are needed, the removal of which is the entire premise of OnlyFans.

>I mean, chat shows are pretty much the same thing, an illusion of a social relationship, but we don't accept stalkers on those platforms?

Are you referring to Twitch ? That's not the same thing, at all. Sex isn't a minor variable. It re-frames the entire problem in a context where people lose the ability to appropriately parse and manage their para-social relationships. Furthermore Twitch itself (other platforms aren't really worth mentioning) doesn't encourage entertainer-user relationship beyond the only tools it provides : the chat box and the stream. Everything else is external, and that includes OnlyFans !

> They are similar in the same way being clawed by a cat is similar to being mauled by a tiger.

Please do not downplay the risks of being hit by a 120 kg+ object moving at, say, 10-15 mph. It is similar to the risk that the cyclist himself faces if he suddenly falls of his bike, namely, brain damage from cracking your skull against the pavement. Cyclists wear biking helmets to protect themselves against this possibly fatal event. Sudden falls can be fairly dangerous, especially for older individuals. Maybe not a tiger, but a cougar. Definitely not a home cat.

Not everyone can dodge in time. Some people are absent minded (and I would say this is their right when walking on a pavement). Some are old and arthritic. Some are kids. Some are blind or deaf. They need to be reasonably safe on a pavement, which means not sharing it with another sort of traffic that moves much faster than them.

I am all for biking/cycling, but it really needs its own infrastructure. Most developed countries can afford it, it is not expensive to build a dedicated biking lane.

Credit Repair
I have a very bad credit that bothered me for a very long time , I have tried contacting several credit repair companies but all possible trials to boost my credit score was to no avail ..then one very day I overhead my colleague at work telling a friend over the phone on how she got her credit fixed and boosted up within few weeks ,then i had to pick up the courage and walk to her because i never wanted to tell anyone about it before ,I told her that i would be interested to know how she got her credit fixed because it seems we have similar issues and i need the same service rendered ,she gave me her hacers contact to reach out to him that he's going to be of help to me .. The hacer fixed my credit and boosted it up within the space of a week ..

Why not abolish the EU?

EU nationalism is actually stronger than local nationalism in many circles - I rarely see comments defending any nation state here (except the Swiss, cough, cough, mostly kidding) but any criticism of the EU is met with zealotry.

More pragmatically, the EU makes little sense as anything but an economic block.

The notion that Germans and Greeks are going to accept real transfer payments, common taxation, common fiscal policy and similar rights to healthcare quality is basically ... bonkers. Germany would be the first to split.
I have thought a lot about this, and computers don't really need physics to exist, they are mathematical object that can implemented in about any medium that provide the minimal set of atomic operation, after that, you will have a Turing complete machine, it will be able to simulate itself, and all the laws of physics, I am more inclined now to think that the first thing to come into existence was a computer, before even atoms were a thing

I'm sure this will be an amazing achievement but it seems to be a lot of effort for something that isn't that important - the problem with electric aircraft is endurance rather than top speed. The article seems to acknowledge that at the end:

They use the word "hacked", but I wonder if it is just "guessed" a simple password and failure to set mfa.

Don't get me wrong, I despise the people that even try to guess the password, but calling it "hacking" is a missed opportunity to inform people about the dangers of simple passwords and single factor authentication.

Again, not saying it wasn't "hacking" in this case. Or maybe I have the wrong definition of hacking (I'd even prefer they called it black hat hacking if it were real "hacking" but ah well).
To make it "safe" as in "protect against out-of-bounds accesses", slices would be enough. My strong opinion is that "data shape" concerns should be separate from "storage allocation" concerns as far as possible.

This is especially true for the "to use across libraries without wasting time on conversions". I've said it many times, plain C interfaces (pointer + length, or slices if you insist but I don't like them because they are a less normalized representation) ... are the best way to design interfaces optimizing for interoperability. No need for any pointless conversion, just tell the API where your data is located. The physical fact that is needed for communication is the memory (address + length), it's the necessary and sufficient information to carry out the task.

Yes, nowadays "safety" is not just about Out-of-bounds accesses but people expect the system to even protect against resource leaks, double-free, user-after-free, and race conditions. But even when it is the goal to machine check this by introducing a system that requires thinking on the small scale in isolated mini-units ("classes"/"types") - is there a point in locking in on a specific implementation of dynamic arrays?

So, Objective-C #import plus some linting rules and minor syntax adjustments? I somehow doubt that this would be worth the change (especially if you have to "extern" stuff like a C++ programmer). People can live with all kinds of minor annoyances but tend to switch mostly for bigger changes.

I'm not well versed in Rust, so that's obviously a factor.

However the Rust version seems to have more line noise, like all the ".ok_or(Error::ENXIO)?;" bits that are sprinkled all over.

Also compare the pl061_probe function and it's Rust equivalent. The C version is fairly straight forward and clean in terms of syntax, while the Rust function looks very complex in comparison.

Also if you compare pl061_irq_ack with the Rust equivalent, suddenly the Rust version has an if statement in there while the C does not. What happens when the if statement is not taken?
