Also not trying to be political, I don’t believe the Cuban embargo/sanctions are due to the existence of a dictatorship. The US has happily done business with, propped up, and installed various dictatorships in the past and continues to do so as well. These dictatorships have performed atrocities similar to or worse than those that the Cuban government performs. Examples include Spain, Argentina, Chile, and perhaps Brazil in the second half of the 20th century.

IMO, the US government is opposed to the proliferation of communism/socialism and for that reason maintains certain embargoes/sanctions. The current sanctions that I know of are against Venezuela, North Korea, and Cuba, all openly communist dictatorships.

To conclude, sob stories aside, the existence of a dictatorship in Cuba is not a motivator for the sanctions against Cuba.

>Why is trying to make money on some hopefully valuable art you’ve produced bad?

Most direct and honest answer I can give you :

It's (considered by many) unethical to profit from human death and suffering.

It's (considered by many) extra unethical to assume you can speak for the dead.

It's (considered by many) extra-extra unethical to try to hood-wink an audience into thinking that your Mechanical Turk is the real-deal.

This particular 'valuable art' we're discussing has flavors from all three of those types of behavior.

I think introverts both gain energy from interactions with loved ones, and gain energy from being alone, and I think that's the same for extroverts. It's different types of "energy."

I am totally in favor of consented sex. However, when the head of an organization has sex with all "consenting" female members of the org, one can legit raise the question whether this consent is true or not. When your boss asks for sexual favors, you are usually not in a position to refuse, and according to most sexual consent laws across the planet, a person is not considered to be able to give consent to a figure of authority such as their teacher, boss, a police officer, etc... And for good reason, cops all around the planet are very well known to abuse and rape who they wish to because they're the psychopaths holding the guns and the shackles, so we need laws against that.

So even from the outside and without knowing the details, it looks pretty bad. Pretty bad as in cult guru bad. When you read the article, actual sex trafficking is mentioned where people give ""consent"" based on being poor and being offered a roof on their heads in exchange for sexual favors, which is arguably also not good consent.

To be clear, i'm not against sex work. One makes a living the way they wish, and many people i know (including myself) would rather sell sexual favors than work for Mac Donald's or an evil tech startup/multinational. However, being pro sex-workers means considering the level of personal autonomy sex workers enjoy. When you materially depend on a single "client" who recruited you for your "weakness" (lack of economic privilege) and is actually your pimp, we may consider basic concepts of sex-work consent are being neglected.

I found this paragraph interesting in hindsight, 18 years on from when this discussion occurred:

> We keep lowering the bar for technical prowess, it seems; if something has the potential to be used "wrong", high-minded designers remove the offending syntax rather than find or train competent programmers. This is why Java removes pointers (among other things) -- it's not that pointers aren't useful or efficient, it's that they require discipline from programmers.

It turns out that "discipline doesn't scale", and programmers have not been able to write substantial amounts of reliable and secure software using pointers. Not Linus, not the BSD maintainers, not the OpenSSL team, not anyone. Not even with C++20 and a tool bag full of fuzzers and linters.

Meanwhile, huge amounts of quite safe Java and C# code keep happily ticking along -- exposed to the internet -- often needing patches only for the C/C++ modules that they include as a part of some framework!

One thing I've learned in my old age is that speed limits aren't there for you. They're there for the bad drivers. If you raise the speed limit, more accidents will happen, even if you can handle the speed. More accidents will happen to you, even if you never personally crash your car. Other people can hit you! https://youtu.be/a9UFyNy-rw4?t=179

In the same way, we programmers don't exist in a vacuum. We use vastly more code written by other people than we have written ourselves. Even Linus has personally touched less than 1% of the code it takes to start up a web browser on Linux and load a web page from a Linux web server. See the "30 million line problem": https://caseymuratori.com/blog_0031

To summarise: I've learned that the ecosystem matters, and that we have to optimise for the average case, because that's where the majority are in a Bell curve.

Are there any good graphics-specific benchmarks out there? I was under the impression that in modern browsers JS is fast enough that it’s the drawing side (canvas or webgl) that dominates the frame rendering time, and that as long as JS is fast enough to keep the GPU’s queue saturated, CPU performance gains don’t help. But I’m a huge fan of WebAssembly, so I’d be glad to be proven wrong.

Shared hosting has limits, but moving an app to a dedicated managed server (or managed VPS) is straightforward, especially if you were on a cPanel shared host (most of them are), since you can move accounts across servers with a few minutes of downtime at most.

Saying “I hit shared hosting limits, I would’ve been better off writing it in a different language and running on entirely different infrastructure” doesn’t really seem like the logical next step.

It’s like saying “I hit the limit of my barebones PostgreSQL server, and instead of getting a bigger instance I should’ve just built everything with NoSQL”.

The point is, with a human you can assume that the person did learn how a goat looks and that a drawing isn't a mechanical translation of one image. Only in cases, where a single image is faithfully reproduced in the drawing, copyright questions might arise. But the base for this is: humans can learn and have an obvious creative process.

A condescending answer that totally ignores everything else that is in the comment you are replying to.

You have with no word said why one would want a predictable supply curve. Ethereum's supply curve is lower than it was promised in the ICO.

Just because Bitcoin has now a "perfectly predictable supply curve" that is no guarantee that it will be in the future? In a few years the block reward will be so small that the security of the chain will be reliant on the fees. A fee market has lots of negative implications, one of the worst is that you can pay miners directly to include transactions without using Bitcoin for the fees.

Industry funded studies told us smoking was safe for a long time. In the case of alcohol we absolutely know that high doses are very dangerous. There are lies, damn lies, and statistics, after all.

Maybe there's a safe dose of alcohol. Maybe the risk of low doses is small enough to be accepted. But we've been lied to buy poison vendors enough times that I'll take any of their proclamations of safety with a mountain of salt.

Even standard PLA prints are really sturdy. You can easily create game controller-sized parts with 20-30% infill that almost nobody could break with their bare hands. It'll certainly survive anything that won't also break the internals.

Rust (or C++) strings are not pascal strings. In pascal strings, the "string buffer" also contains the length information, and historically it was all bytes with a length byte at the start, which was why your strings started at index 1 and limited to 254 bytes.

It's possible to modernise this style of strings to be less crummy (that is essentially what sds does), but C++/Rust string are a third take where the length (and capacity) are stored separately from the string buffer, and that buffer is always on the other side of a pointer (ignoring SSO, which Rust sadly doesn't have due to the original interface definition).

I'm talking about the "general purpose" anti-vaxxers that were around before COVID and are responsible for hundreds of children dead around the world from preventable diseases like measles.

But COVID vaccines are also much safer than the disease they prevent.

Here in Australia is a perfect example of vaccine hesitancy versus hard reality.

For months on end we had close to zero cases in most states, people could do pretty much whatever with minimal restrictions. Every once in a while some returning traveller would cause a small outbreak, a few people might wind up in hospital, but we had zero cases on intubators, and zero deaths for ages.

There were protests in the street against COVID vaccines, which aren't mandatory here, and still aren't available for half the population. I have two acquaintances and a close relative that are refusing vaccination. The relative in particular is in an extremely high-risk category for serious COVID complications but is still unprotected.

Their logic was this: something like 3 people have died from the vaccines, and 0 from COVID. Hence, the vaccine is clearly much more dangerous than COVID.

We now have a relatively tiny(!) outbreak of just over a thousand cases that has sent three states into lockdowns, and a stage-4 lockdown of our most populous city.

These mere 1,100 cases have already killed 3 people, but those 3 vaccine deaths were from 10 million doses!

So the anti-vaxxer logic is: We prefer never-ending ruinous lockdowns and 10,000x more deaths because taking personal action is too scary if it has any risk of death associated with it. In other words, they got a headache when they heard about the Trolley Problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolley_problem
