“hydrogen is a three-fold improvement but is a net-negative fuel requiring far more energy to produce than it provides”

I am not sure how fair that is. Does that look significantly better for kerosene, if you have to construct it out of water and CO2?

As to take off, the power to reach take off speed could come from batteries that don’t move at all. A catapult as on aircraft carriers likely won’t be a good idea (requires stronger and thus heavier airplanes, acceleration will be ‘a bit’ on the large side), but electric trains can be powered at 500km/hour, so a third/first rail could work. I fear, though, most power is spent not on acceleration, but on lifting the plane to cruising height. That would make such a construction fairly useless.
It depends on what you exactly mean by rocket propellant. RP-1 is just refined kerosene and a GE9X won't really notice the difference.

Nope, because there are different media available, and one can watch/listen/read those.

In Orban like states you loose that free access to all media and you are forced into the state one.

For those that are not aware countries that were under former Soviet boots all have a state television, which is the default source of information for older people (they are used to it), whichever party wins the elections sets up this TV broadcast to their liking.

All other TV broadcasters need to have a special privilege approved by the state - do you see what can happen here?
they have parliamentary elections in 2022. i bet Orban will be out by then
Pretty much anyone that works with data has to clean their data, learning to use the tools to do that is important. Whether that's bash, perl, R, python, ... doesn't really matter that much. If they already know bash then bash is a good tool since they can now focus on their data instead of wasting time on learning a new tool to do the same thing.
> I don't think Zig has the same goal.

It seems to me that the only meaningful difference in their goals, is that C3 wants to stay as close to C as possible, including having familiar syntax.

> Also, they usefully compare the languages [...]

The comparison seems disingenuous.

Zig has a module system where each zig file is a module and it has a mechanism to specify public parts of the module.

One of the standout features of zig is the integrated build system, which uses a reliable caching mechanism to allow incremental builds without rebuilding the world. It's somewhat remniscient of bazel actually.

The zig std library features hashmaps and variable length arrays. Strings are not different from slices of u8. It's unclear to me what C3 means by "built-in strings". The only reference I could find was under "crazy ideas", where they vaguely refer to needing to figure out memory management. That seems like a pretty big outstanding issue for a C competitor.

So the unique feature of C3 appears to be the contracts system of pre- and postconditions, which are only used as language hints to the compiler.
I don't know much about Hungary so could you provide a reason why it is bad "if EU lets China come into Hungary"? Unless it is because China Bad, then I'm not interested, but I'm hoping for something more interesting than that. Personally I would hate to see EU close in on itself and so it needs to align with outsiders. China seems just as good a partner as the other big markets to me.

> People are tribal by nature

This is "appeal to nature" nonsense. Tribalism, just like every other social behavior, can be learned and unlearned.

Imagine if someone was getting tribal along odd VS even apartment number or floor number. It would be seen as ridiculous just because it's not in line with the social construct indicating what to be tribal about.

> People group together with others that share certain cultural values.

By this logic, relocating across countries should be made illegal to prevent diluting culture. This would be ultranationalism.

> I don't feel culturally similar to many other European countries

Societies are not countries and are not people. We can be feel very disconnected from some societal values and yet find similar minded individuals in it.

> Grand unification of humanity is a good ideal, one we should work towards, but it's not something that will be possible within our lifetimes.

Citation needed. Humanity has never seen the level of culture and information sharing that is happening now.

For the first time in history some 15 years old girl in Vietnam can watch at a viral meme put on social media by an equally young boy from Canada. Practically for free and with no effort.

History shows otherwise. Big, unexpected grass-root social changes happen. Especially under the pressure from climate collapse and so on.

It’s sad. Bio people really need friends in software to boost their research. Unfortunately they do a codeacademy python course for 5 min and try to get their projects going. Sometimes they succeed, sometimes they fail. But they don’t really have much time to dedicate to properly learn software dev and it’s not what they are into anyway, it’s a necessity.

I think we could create something like a GitHub of bio projects that need help and people assist with hopes of getting their names in a paper

The entire reason NASA was down-prioritized and had finding stripped is because of wealthy private interests, who wanted that pie to go to them for profit, rather than to a public agency.

And because the US only cares to do anything if there's a competition involved, the fall of the Soviet Union meant that politicians didn't really care anymore, they got lazy and lost their ambitions. Now China (and India) and speeding up and leaving the US in the dust.

The money spent on private space exploration could be spent much better on public research and space exploration, with international space agencies working together, instead of funding billionaire joyrides and further lining their pockets with money they can barely figure out how to spend.
MLops is a pretty hot area right now. The industry is trying to figure out how to engineer these things in a robust way. It’s not ubiquitous at all yet. There are lots of tools that wrap K8s and help you train models, but trying in DataOps in a robust way…. I haven’t seen the definitive answer yet.

Seriously please tell me if you are founding this company so I can invest.
It seems more straightforward that it’s a difference in the understanding of the semantics, rather than someone’s biases against the concept of a “nerd”. Words and phrases mean different things to different people, especially in a global context like here, so it’s best to be cautious and generous when trying to interpret others.
> Nationalism is an ancient mentality

Not just nationalism, but tribalism.

That's why the US has such an appalling record of bias. Each new wave of immigrants (not to mention the ones that were here, to start with, and those that were dragged over, against their will) has been met with torrents of hatred, abuse, and state-sanctioned terror. In most cases, it had little to do with skin color, and everything to do with cultural differences.

When I lived in Africa, I saw tribalism writ large. It gets bad. If we think it's only in the developing world, then we simply need to look at what happened to Yugoslavia, after Tito died.

I think that tribalism is in our DNA, and it takes a real, concerted, conscious, effort to fight it. That's hard, humbling, work, and most folks aren't up for it.

Externally-imposed structure (Tito) works, but it's a temporary band-aid.
Looks so much similar to Modi in India. At some point we are all helpless in front of blatant rhetoric. We will destroy our institutions just for the hatred for "others"
>having grown their wealth themselves.

>and employ lots of people doing productive work.

I think we may have different definitions of "themselves."
True. But EU also repeatedly ignores a decent chunk of people that want a stable social state without LGBTQ agitprop and unlimited illegal immigration. I have a hunch that the western left wing would have much more support if they focused on the wellbeing of the common worker, not on the countless minorities. Instead the choice always seems to be between a reactionary right-wing degenerate and a hyper-progressive left-wing degenerate. And to think Americans call them communists. In communism most of the shit we see today from left and right politicians wouldn't fly at all.
> They support who they can control, that’s it.

Or they support who won't try to destroy them, see - I said it in a non demonizing way.

> Saying they choose who to support based on how that person will treat their citizens is laughable

I wasn't saying that. I was just saying, at least in the case of Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia (and also the Palestinian Authority), it's not clear at all that selling them tech/arms is immoral.
On the contrary, studies clearly show that people are aligning themselves more and more with "tribes" that are based on a geographic area.

> A politician? An private or public institution complicit n this behaviour?

Elected politicians are representatives of their people. If people are voting on politicians complicit with institutions, private or public, engaged in this behavior, then it's an example of this issue.

Trump has shown us how frighteningly little of American democracy is kept together by anything more than decorum. If politicians remain popular while being shameless, there isn't much your democracy can do to protect itself.

I can say that the same (rapid institutional degradation) is happening in Brazil, the country I grew up in. In 2016 an elected president was removed from power based on a campaign of disinformation that started before the election (but failed to prevent her re-election) that ended in accusations of unlawful accounting maneuvers that, in the end (well after the impeachment), were considered legal by a court. The disinformation campaign continues and was responsible for the election of a cartoon fascist that is still supported by a third of the population. Newspapers report 3 to 5 lies every day. Last one is recommending a chemical castration drug as a COVID treatment.

We need institutions that more robustly defend ourselves from disinformation campaigns.

Client-side block. They can still see your content, and pay for it, but you won't be reading their messages (whatever they are). Since its send by platform, and not E2EE, the content is available for the platform and/or LE.

As for OnlyFans not responding to "I'm going to kill your children." and "I'm going to rape you." (among others), that makes me very emotional that they don't do anything with this. Threatening to rape someone should be illegal, and threatening to kill someone's children is for me worse than threatening to kill me. They should have reported this to authorities, but instead they went for short term benefits by pulling the ostrich card. Shame on you, OnlyFans.

If you put it that way, the "war" has already been won by Germany/Austria here in Croatia. There is next to no Italian influence (only in one small region). Everything else is German/Austrian owned. Banks, Telecoms, big business, construction etc. Most of the houses on the coast and islands are theirs as well.

EU needs our country just to be minimally stable. Stable enough so millions of foreigners can come to their villas each summer, and as poor as possible so their money is worth more here. Whatever happens outside summer, that's not their problem. That includes tolerating far right politics, Christian fundamentalists and other lobbying groups, super corrupt politicians (better to say whole governments), huge government incurred debt, no freedom of the press or speech, and pretty much non-existing economy.

I'm sorry to say, but I'm sure that trouble is coming to this part of EU, maybe not in couple of years, but eventually surely will. The seeds of radicalization, corruption and all that nasty "us vs them" mentality were planted 20 years ago already. Only now they are starting to bear fruits.

Sure there are better alternatives, but the advantage of bash / shell scripting is that it’s very easy to glue a whole collection of tools together, and that expertise in this transfers well between domains.

They probably could have achieved the same by invoking things in Python, but it would have been slower and not achieved a lot, other than “not using shell scripts”.

And once you go down the path of optimizing this enough, you’ll end up reinventing shell scripts altogether.
> This is an ordering bug.

It turns out that it isn't. I discussed in another part of the thread that these registers control interrupt handling between them. Maybe if you fiddle with them while something is bouncing the relevant IO pins up and down, you get a spurious interrupt, but I'm actually not sure which ordering would be least likely to cause that, the correct thing is almost certainly to just not blow up if you eat a spurious interrupt while fiddling with these registers or tell the device you don't want interrupts while fiddling with them, both of which are the same in either driver.
The change you detect would be your files being encrypted, this seems pointless unless you keep automatically rollback changes that don't seem okay to you (which means you need backups for your backups to be compared to...).
I live in a city and I frabkly disagree. Most reckless cyclists on pavements will not be travelling at any speed, and are definitely a nuisance, but not dangerous. It's also categorically not unique to men.

MIT/BSD also restrict derivative works by requiring attribution. Something that Copilot disregards.
I'm a KDE long time user and contributor, and i agree with the GP's comment.

Apple does it more sparingly (now), and fairly consistently: as a product line evolved. The iMac line did it when it was "cool", the iPod was the next one, and the iPhone evolved from the iPod so it made a lot of sense (and thus so did iOS). There's not really anything else Apple names this way. Apple TV, Macbook, Airpods, Safari... Whereas with KDE everything has got to have a K, it's pretty ridiculous. It's also not a particularly "pretty" letter and you end up with names that are either purposeful misspellings, midKapitalized, are plain bad puns, or occasionally and at best, are merely oKay.

KDE does not have a great brand. Apple does.
Well, you appear to be telling others that their lives and experiences have no value without mindfulness.

You also seem to be telling us that the only way you feel your life experience has any value is through this thing also, that your own experience is hollow or even non-existent without it. That seems somewhat extreme.

I would make the same comment to (for instance) someone telling us that they live every moment of their lives through Jesus, and that without his love life can have no meaning.
> if science shows Buddhism to be wrong, then Buddhism must change. Good luck finding that sentiment in any actual religion.

This is actually not that uncommon, despite some popular image problems.

For example, catholicism has a long history of scientific thought being used to change the common understanding of their scriptures. Even the infamous treatment of Galileo's asssertions about the Earth moving around the sun were more a question of scientific debate and politics than any religious dogmatism: a lot of powerful people in the church simply considered the heliocentric model better science and a settled matter, and used their political power to silence opponents.

In fact, today most christian churches regard the scientific understanding of the world (big bang theory, evolution, geological times etc) as correct, and consider the biblical accounts to be metaphors and reflective of a deeper truth about God's involvement in creation. I believe the same holds true for most muslims, though I am not sure; and I have no idea if it does or not in hinduism. Young Earth creationists and other groups taking the bible as literal truth (6000 year old earth, literal 6 days of creation etc) are a small but vocal minority.
> Who else do you think should own and control those enterprises

The employees of said companies, who have done the hard, sometimes back-breaking work to bring said company to such a valuation. Of course, current CEOs deserve a share of it too, proportional to the work they have put in. Just not simply because they had capital from mom and pop lending them a cool 500k like Bezos did.

> how should the control and ownership be taken away from the current owners

Force.

> Is doing so really in the public interest?

Redistribution of wealth is _always_ in the public's interest.

There are no good billionaires. Every billionaire has become so upon the back of stealing wages, time and money from their employees. Every billionaire has death, sorrow and blood on their hands, as a result of their actions to greedily scrunge up money for their personal gain. Not even in a "well you could stop world hunger" way. No, in a "the work conditions you imposed led the people working 16 hours a day for you into deep mental issues, or the slave labour you knowingly used has caused people to die as a result of your actions." way.

>> If in 30 years we live in a society where people post nudes like they do facebook posts..

..then the calculus will be different. Current culture is what it is, and we live within it.

Imagine a culture where prostitution is "no big deal." It's acceptable for parents to encourage college kids to take a summer job in a brothel and it affects their life in the same way as a summer job at a car wash. Just because you can imagine such a culture doesn't mean that the same advice applies in our world

Similarly, there are plenty of cultures where premarital sex is totally unacceptable, especially for girls. You might think that's silly, and other cultures do exist that aren't like this. Taking your advice might profoundly affect their life, their ability to marry and live within their culture.

Hasn't the UK's energy availability basically collapsed? I keep an eye on the basic stats [0] and it looked like the situation was pretty grim leading up to Brexit.

Someone is really hurting. Either production is collapsing and people are losing good jobs, or it is directly going to result in household pain.

I suppose it would surprise me if 20% of a country's electricity can disappear, almost half its primary energy production is gone, the population grows by 10% and everyone is cheerful. It looks like a situation ripe for rage, tension and people asking angry questions.

This is basically the pigeonhole principle at work. If energy availability is going down and population is rising, someone is going to be developing some profoundly anti-migrant views.
