First, can is the important word here. The point is that if the rest of your life is okay, there's no need to run away by drinking yourself under the table. You seem to be implying that there are no people on Earth who went from addiction to moderation. There's nuance to it.

To be fair, however, we're not encouraging people who've struggled with alcoholism (esp. severe) to have a drink.

Perhaps but lets remember why it is rightfully separated from other more controversial slurs. Call me a redneck and I would mostly be confused as I am not a 1. uneducated, 2. rural, 3. from the American south, 4. poor. It is an insult for sure, and is mostly (perhaps exclusively) directed towards white people. Though it has a lot of qualifiers that in my view make it more of a classist insult rather than a racial slur.

I'm not condoning its use, just pointing out why it is in an entirely different ball park than the N-word, which when used implies an inherent racial inferiority that is simply not present in the term redneck. In fact, the classist connotation of 'redneck' implies that there are different types of 'whites' that take into account their background and behavior. The n-word, or similar slurs, reduces a person to only their race. I mean, the word simply means black. Even if redneck as a term applied to me I'd rather be insulted over my socioeconomic status rather than some unavoidable defect inherent to my pigmentation.

Clarity of purpose makes all the difference for me. The periods where I know what I want and what to do, I have no need for any addiction. When that feeling of purpose and control goes away, I become a slave to them. In some perverse way, they make life endurable when my brain says it shouldn't be.

Step 1: Install it first thing on all new machines

Step 2: Copy your decks over

Step 3: Go through them for five minutes

Step 4: Never open the app on that device again.

While that's a fairly honest assessment of my Anki use, I'd advise that the process of making your own decks, and/or adding in your own mnemonics is very powerful.

If you don't know the loci method, I strongly suggest you add that to your repertoire of memory techniques. Ditto with the peg system, which you can actually download / make an Anki deck for.
Somewhat related, the relativistic rocket equation itself is pretty fascinating. I've written some code that lets one play around with it: https://github.com/the80srobot/gorocket

It's only when you try simulating relativistic physics yourself that some points become apparent. For example, I didn't remember from school that all observers agree on acceleration, and in the first implementation I treated it as happening over time experienced by the accelerating frame. By having all of my unit tests spit out nonsense and figuring out what the problem was, it finally "clicked" for me.

If I have a point (do I?) it is this: if you're trying to learn physics, I highly recommend trying to code some simple simulations yourself. It's amazing how much better one can understand stuff that way, than reading from a book.

All those "jokes" are exhausting. I usually don't have the energy to finish reading an article. I assumed it was a problem with myself, lack of attention. Until some day I read an article from beginning to end, it was captivating. I found that weird, then I checked the date of the article: 1950.
The crypto seems sound, but a lot of the tricky questions are waived aside with the blanket statement of "mechanisms
outside of the cryptographic protocol."

The part that worries me the most is that no one outside of Apple can verify that the hash set they're pushing hasn't been tampered with (Section 4, Remark 5). This allows them for example to add leaked product image hashes to hunt down and prosecute people who share info about their products before release.

In fact, the system seems designed to be impossible to audit, with only a subset of the whole hash set being pushed to clients, so that researchers can't even tell when more hashes have been added. As a consequence of that design, they acknowledge that a "small number" of false negatives will be missed, and justify that with an argument that it improves performance (Section 2, Remark 3)

False positives on the other hand will be common (as detailed in Section 5, "Duplicate images") - simply copying a file on two client devices that don't share a cloud owner ID will count towards the threshold, and again fall back on "mechanisms outside of the cryptographic protocol".

And last but not least, let's spare a thought for the Apple employees that will be required to sift through potentially traumatizing imagery (assuming the company doesn't outsource that to a third party.)

That conforms to the earlier EU cookie directive, but not to the GDPR. Under the GDPR, consent much be freely and explicitly given, and must be as easy to revoke as it is to give. Clicking a link or scrolling down is not explicit. Since use of the site is conditional on accepting the tracking, the consent isn't freely given. Since there is no button to reject the cookies, it is harder to reject the tracking than it is to accept.

Failing all three conditions for acquiring consent, my conclusion is that the site is blatantly violating the GDPR.

> if the rest of your life is okay, there's no need to run away by drinking yourself under the table.

That's... not how it works. One might have become an alcoholic because the rest of their life was shit; but remaining an alcoholic is another matter. Highly-functioning addicts are still addicts. A lot of neurochemical processes don't care for the social or psychological situation.

It's a bit like saying that "people can sail the Atlantic in a kayak"; a few might make it, but the overwhelming majority will die under the waves, and telling them they can do it is just Bad.
The people that won those elections are poor performers, bad strategists and often abdicate their responsibilities as leaders. If they were born poorer or lower class, they would not be where they are now.

They win elections with media support, even when taking opposite stances day to day because the people that own and run those media companies... Went to school with them.

There is a cultural subcontext that may be missing here:

The swiss are fiercely independent people that shun cultural misfits and people that don't respect tradition.

They certainly hold in contempt outsiders that go against established groups/ norms / traditions. This is evident in their rules for granting citizenship, which is at the discretion of each canton.

Some cantons are particularly fickle and will reject granting citizenship to foreigners living in Switzerland for decades...if the foreigner is "annoying" [1]. This means: a serial complainer, a bad neighbor that does not respect customs.

My thinking:

PHD student forgot they were part of the local academia community.
This group was sensitive to china criticism. Whether this was subtle or not, we wont know. What we know is he went ahead and criticised china, thus becoming a bad neighbor. He was therefore cast out.

well its more nuanced than that.

If you had a right to buy house, (a house built and rented for low income workers by the local governemnt) then you would have benefited equally in the property boom: ie bought your house at a discount in the 90s/00s and now its worth 10-50x what it was before. Unlike in the US where "projects" are still worth shit all, it is quite egalitarian.

Mortgages don't take into account your race in the UK, unlike the states.

Once you _own_ a property, its price rises uniformly, so in that sense it is.

However access to owning a property is not egalitarian.

Property is ~10x the average wage, and new builds are low quality, poorly built and more expensive. There are no incentives to change any of this yet.

I wrote a book and chose Asciidoctor, because it's got a lot of built-in features for writing technical docs, such as 'admonitions' (the "tip", "warning", "info" blocks, etc.), 'sidebars' (the boxed Q&A/ancillary blocks you often see in technical books) and code syntax highlighting, with per-line 'callouts' (i.e. you can write explanations of what each line in a sample code block is doing). It can also generate images from ASCII diagrams, but I didn't get amazing results, so I created my own diagrams as SVGs in draw.io.

It's easy to render PDF and EPUB, and Asciidoc syntax is not much of a jump from Markdown either. The biggest challenge is learning the correct name of the typesetting feature that you need, so you know what to look for in the Asciidoctor reference. :-)

So my process was as follows:

1. 1 "parent" Asciidoc manuscript, with individual chapters written in separate files and included with "include::"

2. Write sample code, marking each code block with Asciidoctor fencing, and then reference each code block from the manuscript. Asciidoctor will then include the code and add syntax highlighting etc. I also try to write the example code inside unit tests, so it can be tested every time the book is built.

3. Wrap the process in some sort of build tool. I chose Maven (there's an Asciidoctor plugin for Maven). The process builds the book PDF/EPUB, tests the book sample code, and builds any associated artifacts (like an example .zip file).

Now I'm writing a new short book, and this time I'm trying out Pandoc->PDF (via LaTeX). The learning curve is pretty steep, and the LaTeX errors are a bit WTF, but the eisvogel template (as also recommended by asicsp in this thread) is a great way to have something presentable very quickly.

I guess they're talking about GDP per capita? The UK's GDP per capita was ~$42,000 in 2019, which was lower than all the US states + DC, except for Mississippi according to [0].

It's pretty misleading to frame this as though the UK is drastically lower than any other comparable countries though. The UK's GDP per capita is similar to Canada, France, Israel, Japan. And that doesn't even get into whether GDP is actually a realistic measure of how "poor" a country's people are (c.f: Ireland, which has a much higher GDP per capita than the US, but similar material conditions to the UK).

True. I had interpreted your comment as implying that the existence of beneficiaries beyond the transaction validators themselves makes the system as a whole be beneficial.
> You're getting downvoted because you made a bad faith assumption in a way that comes off as hostile.

I confirm that was precisely the reason why I downvoted that post. Not only does that post indicate the poster failed to read and understand OP's post but the poster's comment suggests the misunderstanding was disingenuous and intended to put up a strawman designed to gratuitously attack OP with pseudo-moralist arguments.

I struggled introducing fp-ts into my last team but io-ts was a much easier sell, as was fast-check.

It's a lot easier to get buy-in when you can demonstrate that it will reduce bugs thereby improving the customer experience and reducing development burden.

Something like io-ts or zod gives you confidence that the types in your application are correct, so you don't need to code or unit test defensively. This ties into the idea of pushing unsafety to the edges of your application. It can also be a quick way to discover that types don't align because of a backend API change; we had our io-ts decoding hooked up to Sentry.

Likewise with fast-check I argued its utility in its introduction PR and made clear that it's an opt-in method of testing, and it caught a bug we hadn't spotted within a few weeks. You can't really argue with results like that.

At a certain point though, if your team is unwilling or unable to recognise the limitations of TypeScript and therefore the necessity of constructs like `z.infer` or `t.TypeOf`, you might just have to accept it or move on. In my experience you can't move a team that far from where they'd already be heading without your presence. If you're surrounded by folks without experience in static typing, it's already a major win to have introduced TypeScript at all.
> The UK only has one of those problems: property costs.

University education in UK (sans Scotland) has gone from zero to GDP 9k a year in fees, the average debt per student is GDP 35k. I know that this quantity and the associated conditions for Americans, or London IT people, sounds like a joke. But AFAIK the average pre-tax graduate job salaries in about GDP 24k.
Today's analogy is bitcoin...

Will all Bitcoin just be lost one day, because all keys get lost?

I am aware that "there are solutions", but are they (really) enough? Isn't "breaking in" required at some point?

Another endgame for Bitcoin is that all Bitcoin are stolen through the one tool which helps with (unbreakable) encryption: Hacking / social engineering.

Besides that we hab substantial discussions about why PGP isn't really cutting it for use with email (to cumbersome, at one point you lose your private key, recipient struggles to decrypt, etc.).

It was prior to docking. It was a separate entity which had to fly itself without continuous communication to the station in order to be integrated. The entire problem was that the module did not recognize that it was docked with the station and was trying to maneuver itself. Why would you put in a "tell the station to which you are attached that you are firing your thrusters which should never be fired while attached to the station" signal?
The first video shows the leaves of some kind of shrub, with no evidence to link it to the thick, fleshy stem to that plant.

The second video shows a food market selling the snack and displaying a web page printout about Maerua oblongifolia. Also not evidence.

Clearly you did not read the article. The food vendors claim it is Maerua oblongifolia. The whole point is that it cannot possibly be, as Maerua does not have fleshy, edible roots or trunks, and DNA testing points to a different botanical family.

Wikipedia is not a credible source here.
The issue e.g. with obese people isn't that they didn't have the bright idea that they could "just" eat less or "just" move more — the issue is that there are very often underlying paychological reasons for the way people take decisions. This is not laziness, this is having a personality structure that makes it harder for you to stay healthy.

We all want to be happy, if for some reason happiness for you is tied a lot more to eating than to being healthy and fit, you can try all you want it just wont make you happy if you do. That means tackling obesity means also asking yourself hard questions about what food does for you, how it got that way (e.g. having grandparents which nearly starved can have an severe effect on the food habits for a few generations down the line, sometimes parents can only express their affection through food which means now you equate food with existential parental love). Changing habits is hard, understanding your own psychological drivers and doing something about it against the resistance of your brain is way harder. Never underestimate the struggles other people have to take in order to do the thing that is easy for you.
