> hacks like “we will always have this struct in another one with a pointer preceding

A struct embedded within a different struct gives simply a bigger struct, which is something we have decided is a good idea (as opposed to e.g. attribute lookup in dynamic scripting languages).

The unfortunate thing is that there is no way to check statically that an inner struct that you hold in your hand is indeed embedded within a larger thing. But that is the kind of assertion that is incredibly hard to prove in a simple framework without complicating things, so the better idea seems to not do it. (Also it's the kind of assertions that seldom wrong once you've tested a tiny bit).

> (text based macros are simply the worst thing ever)

Are they?

Consider how many actual bugs were caused by text macros, and then consider how many useful things you can do with them that you simply cannot do with AST based macros.
As someone who was recently on the hunt for a Mach E, they need to get production numbers up. Mach E Premiums are 24 weeks backordered, dealerships often only have a mannequin to look at. I called around to several dealerships in my area to even find one to test drive, and I'm in a pretty massive metro area.

Its still pretty early numbers-wise, but to me it seems they can't build them fast enough to satiate the already existing demand.
The link says that iPad Air 2 and later are supported. Does this mean that the original iPad Air is vulnerable? There must be many of them still in use for Web browsing, video, games, etc.
> Progressives never stopped protesting attempts to violate personal freedoms,

What nonsense. Progressives in this country are currently advocating for people to be banned from doing normal every day activities unless they're carrying proof of taking an experimental drug.

There is serious talk amongst 'progressives' in Congress to ban certain people's speech from the internet.

Why would any Indian go to Germany? Why don't you back up your point with some numbers otherwise this is nothing but prejudice.
Rust is not specific to trucks, it's more tied to using salt on the roads. Vehicles from the south have significantly less rust.

Still doesn't explain what you dislike about the "culture" associated with trucks. Maybe something like South Park S10E2?
This is one of those things that I just can't reconcile with my own experience. Studies say that crime is actually down but I'm witnessing more and more general lawlessness. A few weeks ago I saw someone take a case of beer out of a supermarket without paying. They caught him on camera and no one tried to stop him. The manager told me it was pointless to call the police. Public urination is way more common than it used to be and I think NYC decriminalized it a while ago. So if a bunch of previously criminal acts are no longer being reported, can we truly have confidence that crime has actually gone down?

This reminds me of all those news articles confidently declaring inflation wasn't a threat, and that, no, we are actually experiencing some deflation. But when I go to the grocery store I end up paying more for things like milk and meat. A strip steak went from about $9.99 a pound to $14.99 a pound.

I know, it's absolutely baffling to me, but I know loads of people in Poland who still have coal fired boilers for heating. When asked about this, they say that there is no natural gas pipeline anywhere near them(and local council isn't interested in putting one in), and not everyone has space for an LNG tank in their garden(or even a garden) and heating with electricy would literally make them bankrupt very quickly. So....coal is the only option that everyone can afford.
I don't see interface{} as a deficiency in the type system. Just about every type system has a method for storing "any" value such that it can then be upcast at runtime.

The problem in Go isn't with interface{} but that the simple type system can't handle common use cases so you end up needing it use interface{} much more often that you would need to in other languages.

Basically interface{} is useful when you truly need it. But it is often used to workaround deficiencies in the type system.
You have an odd way of using the word zero. I see plenty of infrastructure including both charging stations, as well as the undeniably real electric grid infrastructure which is a huge start on solving the problem.
Not remotely true, in my personal case.

>Since I'm in a category of people--not fat, healthy, young, vitamin-d enriched--that basically never gets covid, I can basically never transmit it.

I'm sorry, we could argue the toss about the other stuff but this is dangerously delusional. You're going to hurt people with that attitude. All of the factors you mentioned just mean you're more likely to survive. They have no bearing on how easily you can catch covid, or pass it on. In the UK, spread is almost entirely driven by the young now.

Ah good to hear. I wish I could edit my post. But vim bindings are nowhere to be found.

If "banning" bitcoin really meant saying that exchanges can't let you turn dollars into bitcoins and vice versa ... could that finally make bitcoin an actual currency, where to get it you exchanged a good or service for it? Would the disconnect from the rest of the financial system mean that it wouldn't just be a vehicle for speculation?

I still think it's a silly system, where an extravagant amount of work is done so no one has to trust any central party (but all the speculators had to trust the exchanges). But I wonder if "banning" it could be the thing that actually lets it fulfill a little more of its original promise.
Some implementations (IIRC Firefox is one of them) choose it dynamically: if hardware AES is available, AES is ordered before ChaCha20, otherwise ChaCha20 is ordered first. Last time I looked, at least for Intel the i3 didn't have hardware AES (but the i5 and i7 have it), so it was not uncommon for lower-end hardware (which needs speed the most) to have AES slower than ChaCha20.
> We do not need that many people. The planet does not need it. We need to learn to live with less and without never ending growth.

This is where I really think it gets into the grounds of a moral or philosophical argument. Life without this neverending economic growth is nasty, brutish, and short. We would never have advanced modern medicine, increased lifespans, or invented any of the conveniences we all use every day without it. There are no systems other than broad economic/productivity growth that have ever worked on a large scale for improving the living conditions for humanity. And we still have a long way to go to make life better for the poorest communities around the world. Denying this type of progress to future generations of humans, for a purely aesthetic reason such as we're comfortable enough today in our upper middle class lifestyles and we just kind of feel like we don't need more people around, is unconscionable.

There is plenty of water on the earth, and capacity for clean energy production, it's just a question of how do we harness it effectively while mitigating the downsides. I'm all for making some short term sacrifices and paying some costs now to avoid the worst of climate change, but that does not mean accepting that the future for humanity should be degrowth.
Eh, I think it is--the creator knew enough about programming to consider (and then actually implement!) storing the functions in a hash table, but I'd say that anyone who knows enough to do that would/should know perfectly well that strlen is a terrible choice for the actual hashing function.
I agree. VW is way ahead of Toyota in EVs.

"A little. The thesis behind 'trickle down' sorta makes sense if you think about it."

Only if you only think about it. This is the danger of theoretical predictions without empirical backup: the path of the Laffer curve is dependent on more than just the tax rate, and is likely also historically dependent.
Whatever it is it probably already exists in South Africa.

> If that were true, we would expect strict inheritance laws discouraging wealth transfer. But we've never seen that in the United States.

The legal mechanism for this has been the inheritance tax, which has existed more or less since the founding of the republic. Historically, it served as a substantial reducer of inter-generational wealth transfer. However, over the last 5 or 6 decades, objections by the rich to moving the thresholds to keep up with inflation and/or typical wealth levels among the top quintile etc. and/or rates for this tax have made it much less effective in this role.
If the titles required the same Elo to achieve then there wouldn't be a point to have separate titles. The female-only titles are useful to encourage women to compete imo.
Its euros. And its waaaay above minimum wage. In Europe, its above the "modal wage" aswell. I think in west Europe its about the average wage.
This is a pretty funny argument. It only further emboldens climate change deniers because of its inherent dishonesty. There can be no such thing as 100% consensus. The consensus only further proves what climate deniers have known for a long time: it's not about science, it's ideological.

"The consensus among research scientists on anthropogenic global warming has grown to 100%, based on a review of 11,602 peer-reviewed articles on “climate change” and “global warming” published in the first 7 months of 2019."
>but the real issues about city traffic are rush hour and peak traffic times, vehicle for 4 transports 1 or 2 people at a time mostly, no parking available in big cities, except at extortion level prices.

Work from home for people who can solves much of this. During COVID when many people were working from home, the roads were dead, even in non-mandatory lockdown states (at least mine).

It's a pretty simple solution that will save everybody money (including employers) and many employees want it. It's weird that it isn't being talked about seriously by the government. I guess the commercial real estate market is against it.
It still blows my mind how police are allowed to turn off body cams while on the clock. That should be considered an offense like a government official burning public documents, because that's basically what is going on when you turn off the video. It's uncanny how the cameras are almost always off whenever something controversial happens.
Well, that too, but even ignoring the inalienable rights angle and focusing purely on what's legal, the constitution supersedes congressional law by design.
I'm sorry, we weren't having an argument. Every comment you've made is also a statement of belief.

I'm not interested in having a deep argument on this one (since it's all hypothetical). I was just replying to your feelings.

She is the Attorney General of New York. Tether is banned from New York. No need to launch a criminal probe against an overseas firm led by overseas founders harming out-of-state residents.

This isn't a case with obvious political upside. Tether getting blown out will cost millions of Americans on both sides of the aisle. There isn't a sympathetic party being harmed who will be grateful for enforcement. (To say nothing of the money printer cryptos have been for traditional finance.)
None that are public (that I'm aware of), but it's just a matter of time. We just got ShotSpotter alerts put up on the Chicago data portal.

But to make it less difficult to believe, I'll point you too LEMART training [1], an emergency first aid course that many patrol officers elect to take, and that many officers carry a first aid kit [2]. Considering ShotSpotter alerts officers (many of which are capable of administering emergency first aid) to shootings (many of which have no corresponding 911 call for service), it's not too hard to accept the weak claim that a nonzero number of lives have been saved. I won't speculate on the number as I haven't done a rigorous analysis, but I know of a lot of shootings where the responding officer was notified by ShotSpotter, administered first aid (normally a tourniquet), and the victim survived.

Edit: just found a public number for the number of officers who have received LEMART training. Over 6000 officers as of 1/21/2020 [3]. For reference, there are about 13k sworn CPD officers.

Because hydrogen for cars makes no sense.

It's all made from natural gas (and if we produce it from water, it would take at least thrice more energy than what's needed to charge the same energy in a battery... at best), it's more expensive, it's far more dangerous, the infrastructure is not there (and never will, you can't put a hydrogen station in every garage), etc.

It only makes sense for chemicals, stell production, fertilizers, seasonal energy storage, and long distance transportation (search images for "hydrogen ladder").

But the O&G industry bet big on hydrogen a long time ago, and got a few auto giants like Toyota to jump in. It was a bad choice (but who could oppose the energy leaders back then?) and it's too late now.

A rule of thumb is that 90% of unhappy customers don't complain. So it's likely that a lot of people are experiencing these same problems, but not voicing them. "Thank you" seems to be missing from a lot of comments.

A good response might entail: what is the core team is currently prioritizing, why, and how will this feedback help guide those efforts?

Also, take heed of the number of occurrences of the following statement, which I support:

I do not disagree with you one bit, and appreciate the thoughtful response. Though tinder and other dating apps do not have age verification either. We probably need photo id verifications
> Though I suppose if this bug can be used for a jailbreak there may be some people who'd actively want to stay on 14.7 as well. It's too bad on iOS Apple forces people to choose between security and control of their own systems and doesn't at least allow a purchase-time option to have the ability to load ones own root signing certificate.

That exactly why the jailbreak scene has no incentive to share any exploit with Apple and is obfuscating everything. That's not great for security but that's a direct consequence of Apple's policies.

They do offer them, but not on every vehicle (particularly the pickups and more trucklike SUVs), and only 23% of NA Toyotas and Lexuses were hybrids in Q1 2021.

If they believe that fuel cell vehicles are the future, they ought to hybridize every gasoline vehicle they sell right now, because fuel cell vehicles will only require more batteries and more electric motor capacity than hybrids.

If they hypothetically believed that electric cars were the future but still want to wait to release full-electrics, they ought to hybridize every individual vehicle sold while they build up production capacity for batteries and motors.

For reference, normal hybrids have only about 2 kWh of battery, about 1/30 the capacity and anywhere from 1/4 to 1/2 the motor power compared to a pure EV.

23% isn't that bad, but that's 23% hybrid: it's still only baby steps towards either pure electric or fuel cell. This leads me to only one conclusion: they're not serious about pushing production of either fuel cells or electric vehicles.
This isn't a tutorial, nor a training, nor a course though, this is a cave exploration. Its going down the wrong paths, multiple times on purpose.

> We don’t know their standard process for reclassifying alerts.

and we don't because they withdrew evidence, rather than allowing outside review of said processes.
They didn't pull that number out of thin air. Tons of people make that or less. Retail employees, non-profit workers, restaurant workers, gig workers etc. They live with roommates, with spouses, in rent-controlled units or have unenviable commutes. Even the new $16.32/hr minimum wage is just under $34k/yr and that is assuming people can actually get 40hrs/wk.
Not sure if you're joking, but... the taxes on your salary are subtracted at source in most countries so there's no way to avoid them no matter how highly you're taxed, but things are quite different when you can decide what to pay yourself in salary vs. what ends up at a company you control vs. what ends up in some kind of trust, and so on and so on.
Even if it functioned as a perfect replacement for all existing currency[0], it wouldn’t steal or create jobs, merely change some titles while the tasks (and likely the employers) remain the same. And the point of this website is to shake up the status quo specifically where tech meets business and finance, so we’d like it better if it actually did that.

[0] which it can’t partly for the same reason the U.K. dropped out of the ERM, partly because inflation is economically useful, partly because it replaces one-man-one-vote with one-computational-resource-one-vote and therefore is explicitly plutocratic instead of democratic, partly because no sane government would expose itself to the risk a different nation that chose not to use crypto would perform a 51% attack against it and the only defence against that is an arms race to control more than half of humanity’s compute resources even if that means a von Neumann manufactured Dyson swarm, partly because the transaction rate means that scale can only be achieved with intermediary layers that end up looking indistinguishable from the existing banking sector
It's 14.6 % of the gross income, capped around 58k income / year. Half of that (7.3 %) is paid by the employer, the other half by the employee (deducted from monthly wage payments).

For that, kids (no matter how many) are covered unless the other parent has a private insurance. Spouses are covered if they don't have their own insurance.

Based in Germany, I'd say the best part of it is that it's truly social: The healthy ones pay for the sick ones, all with the same tariff, no questions asked. That's especially true for people who become sick, old, or both: For them, private insurances tend to raise their tariffs exponentially, and there's no way to get an affordable insurance any longer.
It's hard to get replacement parts for Teslas because every single part they make is put into a new car and sold.

No, you really can't.
