Deleuze's books on history of philosophy are interesting and approachable. Although they are more about his own philosophy over people he write about they're still very valuable. Deleuze gets bad reputation for his other writings as they are difficult to read but that's not the case with books on history. He also have books on Nietzsche so that might be a nice starting point.
Other continental philosophers that you could try are Heidegger, Foucault or Bataille. Everything depends on what you're looking for, but if you're coming from Nietzsche and Stirner they might be interesting for you.

Edit: As someone else mentioned, Walter Benjamin is also very interesting!
It depends far more on the actual dialect than the country, as it's phonotactics-dependent; for example I'd still expect Alentejano dialect to add a short [ɪ], or Mineiro to skip it, even if it's the opposite direction of the "trend".

And the vowel itself might vary quite a bit. I use [e] due to my dialect (Sulista) still keeping the post-stress final /e/ vs. /i/ distinction (e.g. "SETI" and "sete" sound different for us), but [ɪ] and [i] are likely more common for people who merged both.
Not where I work. QA are the ones who first look at all reported issues. They see if they can replicate the reported issue. If they can’t they contact the reporter and try to figure out why they can’t replicate it. Once they can replicate it they write up the ticket with replication steps and add it to the backlog to be assigned out in a sprint. They attend all meetings and explain the issues. Once the developer thinks they have fixed the issue they send it back to QA to verify it is fixed. Then QA reaches out to the person that reported the issue to tell the about the resolution.
That is what Linux's OOM killer does, yes. In Linux you can handle the problem by spawning off a subprocess and watching to see why it dies. Not an acceptable result for your antilock braking system firmware.
Most companies hiring for Elixir devs will still hire you as long as you have experience in other languages. imho it's more important to show you have production experience, can ship and are willing to learn. If there's a company you particularly like that is using Elixir, you could do a small side-project in it to show willingness.

The US alone is 4.25% of world population: https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/us-population...

Focusing on curbing emissions regionally is as futile as instating a "no peeing" section of the pool.
Assuming you're the author of that bug report, it looks like you never did reply to that last message on 23 Nov 2015, so the developer was left hanging. Seems totally fair to assume this is fixed after half a decade with zero user comments.

As an observation, the whole thread is a back-and-forth exchange of a user supplying incidental test cases and the dev fixing them one by one, for months. I'm actually surprised the main emacs maintainer would put up with this - usually formatters and syntax highlighting are handled by user extensions, it's not humanly possible for one person to be an expert in 100+ programming languages and their favored styles. Someone else who is a heavy user of the language could take the time to dive in and probably fix all the formatting issues in one go. Or make a patch to bring in the third-party better-maintained prolog-mode that is mentioned in the discussion.
Ammo is a government first market, not a parallel market.

Factories generally have to fill their government orders first, then sell govt runs 2nds/rejects (in military calibers) to consumers, and then manufacture consumer specific rounds with surplus factory capacity.

Automation at factories to this point has generally resulted in lower quality products. People still want it because it's cheap, but there's a balance between price and how bad of a product people will tolerate.
> Google's Fuchsia, for instance, is a high risk project which might never reach parity with Android.

If you write an app using the Android APIs and not native code then it wouldn’t matter if you were really running a Linux-based Android or a Fuchsia-based Android, as long as the API contracts were met. Google knows this — it’s not impossible to imagine that one day Android might not be Linux-based.

>We know that exactly the same initial conditions will lead to the exact same trajectory.

Do we have a proof of this? Or is it that we just assume this?
There is a risk with it that you just ignore it. We always put it into a separate room for dev staging and prod. So, what will often happen is you might start to see more errors occurring once you push to staging and your tests are running. It doesn't replace tests and the like, and isn't a cure all in terms of how to handle errors, but I have found it pretty helpful. Especially with serverless, because observability is one of the hardest parts of this paradigm.

Teaching programming is extremely difficult, I think because it is a learning staircase instead of a learning curve.

For example, `color = input("what is your favorite color: ") .. print(color)` seems like the variable name is somewhat related to the content. The first time I saw my daughter "get" variables was after some time she just started naming them `kj`, `jdh`, `hdj` when she was going to use them immediately after.

So, there is some interesting data on this in the data. Most of the North American waste comes from central America and the Carribean. The US and Canada combined are responsible for .27% of global plastic emission. Guatamala emits .73%, Panama emits .53%, Haiti .71%, and the Dominican Republic .64%.

Banning plastic bags won't do anything here. This is about countries not having sufficient waste disposal systems. If you want to have an impact on this, don't push for bans on plastic bags and other single use plastics. Donate to NGOs that help build new waste management systems in affected countries and push for federal grants to such organizations (if in the US).

As a side note, SUP bans actually have a number of unintended negative consequences, and it is not clear that they are even a net positive for the environment. Depending on who you ask, the environmental impact of such bans ranges from significant to marginal, and CO2 emissions from plastic bags is likely far better than alternatives.

The best strategy imho would be to split resources and do both. Helping far-off countries without cleaning up your own backyard would seem condescending and like an attempt to shift all blame elsewhere. Starting an effort to clean up ocean pollution originating from the US while simultaneously helping Asian countries do the same appears much more genuine and has a much better chance to work based on perception alone.

This reminds me of Microsoft ActiveX - all sorts of programs could embed each other, talk to each other, they had (some) compatible types and easy to use IDE (Visual Basic)

But even then, it did not get picked up. Sure, you could do a lot with MS Excel, but non-Ms software often had spotty or missing ActiveX support.
We do not have a 4.5% contribution, most of the NA contribution (as shown in the linked data) comes from Central America and the Caribbean. We contribute .25%.

This law as described would exclude most of the digital nomads I've met, because it requires "Proof of a stable monthly salary, fixed income or a average monthly income, during the last year." Most digital nomads I've met do contract work rather than working for a fixed salary. Most of the people I know who work for a fixed salary, even on programming and sysadmin jobs where they can WfH frequently, aren't free to just move to wherever they want to move to; they have to be able to go to the office at least a few times a month. Or did before the pandemic, anyway; maybe that will change.

From the top of one of the tall structures in Calakmul, you should be able to see El Mirador on a clear day, possibly with binoculars. El Mirador is on the Guatemalan side and is also a pretty amazing site, especially if you want to see what some of these sites look like before they are fully excavated and cleaned up for tourist crowds. El Mirador is deep in the jungle and requires a multi-day journey, preferably with mules to get there. When I went several years ago, I remember only crossing paths with one other group of tourists for the whole 60 mile round trip journey.
As far as I see, Nietzsche was about embodying meaning - doing! Which is why he was an existentialist.

Grin makes a better claim to the term timechain, because its emission is 1 Grin per second forever, literally keeping track of time.
Beyond that, its difficulty adjustment at every block keeps its average blocktime much closer to 1 minute than the once-every-2-weeks adjustment Bitcoin makes to try keep its average block time at 10 minutes.
That's actually a really good point. While I do think that a larger share of effort and goodwill should be spent on major pollution first (and helping with cleanup and implementation of proper waste management there), not doing anything in your own backyard at the same time seems hypocritical.
As the article discusses, the main contributing factor is a lack of effective waste disposal systems, almost entirely in low and middle income countries. The US, for example contributes .25% of global ocean plastic emissions (not the 4.5% from all of NA, most of which is from Central America and the Caribbean). High income countries can help low income countries develop these systems through grants and subsidies.

To give an example from another industry altogether, James Lapine just released a book detailing the process of creating the American musical Sunday in the Park with George.

> It is possible to write a short summary article at the beginning and give perfectly acceptable credit to the original reporters.

See, for example, thehill.com. Although they do some of their own reporting, summarizing other articles and linking to them is their bread and butter.
>This is simply an escape hatch, if it can't be explained, it's because it's magic.

So? It is what it is, and you can take it or leave it. There are plenty other things we can't explain at the moment, millions of things we couldn't explain in the past, tons of things we would not have explained before the demise of humanity, and some we can never get at as they're not testable (even in physics theories).

That doesn't mean they can't and don't nevertheless hold (or, many of them, not hold).

Just because we're confined to the visible spectrum as a specieis doesn't mean information outside of it doesn't exist (and would exist even if we never had developed the ability to make infrared and other such sensors). Or, just because we're confined to 4 dimensions, doesn't mean the universe doesn't have instead, say, 10.

Similarly, just because we have an a-priori (in the Kantian sense) restriction to understand the world based on logic, doesn't mean the universe (in the general sense, including any metaphysical entity might be) is also likewise constrained.

>Gods follow no logic do what you're told even if it makes no logical sense because there is no logic to be found. There is no room for debate here, you can't use reason, there is nothing further to discuss.

Well, apparently, given thousands upon thousands of volumes of theology (not to mention sacred texts) there is still plenty to discuss.

Also, within the doctrine that God gave people free will, this "do what you're told" doesn't hold. The reverse is implied, that he gave that precisely so we might also opt not to do as we're told.
100% guaranteed success in fundraising. You only need one of these options:

- Be a friend or acquaintance of the fund manager.

- Be the child of an important client of the investment bank.

- Study at a prestigious university together with other children of the bank's clients

- You have sold your previous business or already own a very successful one.

It is a fallacy to think that your pitch will be of any use in 2021. It is 90% personal relationships, 5% narrative and 5% luck. Not even the business plan is relevant anymore (WeWork and many others)
It makes perfect sense to have an irrational belief in hard work.

You are likely to have more success if you believe in work. Certainly believing that 100% of outcomes is luck seems like a bad strategy.

At the level of a society then average beliefs matter. I find some less successful countries seem to obsess over the role of external influences, fate, god, and chance.
isn't guix/nix fairly alternative?
You make it sound as if you write HTML5 by hand when entering content in web pages. Do you have the same complaint for SVG diagrams or HTML tables, which are even worse for writing by hand than MathML?

I hope not. The key gain here is that the syntax used for mathematics in HTML needs to be easy to integrate in the web platform of 2021. Can you still use the DOM with MathML? Yes. Can you naturally interleave it with other HTML elements to create multi-modal constructions? Yes. With diagrams? SVG+MathML is possible, yes.

Indeed it is designed for technologists, solving a problem on the world wide web, as well as in other structured formats. And no, no one is asking mathematicians to type XML or HTML by hand in 2021.

An author can keep using latex, asciimath, Word or OpenOffice, MathType, MathQuill, or even Mathematica/Matlab/scipy syntax, as they've done until now. And then have their toolchain of choice prepare MathML to be served on the web, (or epub ebooks, etc), in a uniform manner understood by all vendors. Mere mortals can then finally create web apps that can natively access the math, without writing half-baked tex parsers that have hundreds of awkward and undocumented special cases.

TeX syntax has no path to richer integrations into the web platform and keeps mathematics out of reach for all modern ecosystem trends. I certainly think MathML can still be improved quite a bit - mostly by making it smaller and simpler, so that anyone can pick it up in an hour and write a new app in a day.

> You mean before we count their high environmental cost?

Are you saying those people in cities, spread out over the countryside instead would have a lower environmental cost??? Absolutely not.

Whereas the country side used what for power?? Magic??

> Low population rural areas can't destroy the planet with their resource demands, only large populations can do that.

The problem is not cities then. The problem is people. Most of our current problems are due to too many people.

And yes, more people spread over a larger area are would be worse.
For those who think David Reich is a scientist, I recommend "Genetic evidence for complex speciation of humans and chimpanzees", John Wakeley's reply "Complex speciation of humans and chimpanzees" and "Patterson et al. reply" to Wakeley's reply. (All published in Nature in 2006, 2008, 2008, respectively.)

It's a fantastic demonstration of modern science at work.
"If you're concerned that a bad thing might happen some day, you shouldn't today oppose things that pave the way for that bad thing happening."

"If you're concerned that your child might grow up to be a psychopath, you shouldn't have kids."
> The amount of complexity I'm willing to tolerate is proportional to the size of the problem being solved.

First, most of the time you don't even understand the problem well enough to know its size.

And second, complexity quite naturally increases with (at least) the square of the problem size because not only are there more things, each of them can potentially interact with every single other one. With great skill and effort you can reduce that exponent below 2, but actually reaching 1 is pretty much impossible.

Thus software is going to remain intolerable to Ryan for the foreseeable future.
> How interesting: by moving some of the driver to firmware, Apple has effectively made it easier for OSs like Linux to have good support for the hardware, because the OS<->hardware protocol operates at a higher level of abstraction and may work across multiple chips.

If I am remembering right, this was the original idea behind UEFI drivers too — you could in theory write drivers that the firmware would load and they would present a simpler/class-compatible interface to whatever operating system was loaded after that. I think Apple did pretty much this on Intel Macs for a number of things.

Interoperability is really a key thing. The complexity of managing additional ipv6 network bindings, routing, firewalls, service bindings, subnet math, etc, etc makes deployment a huge effort with little real world reward for most.

Are there any sites that have fully migrated to ipv6?

The sites that I’ve seen running v6 at all are doing so in parallel with v4, which I think just underscores your point.
You may want to call a professional staffing agency like Randstad or Addecco and ask if they are looking for people with that skillset. They have databases with skill scarcity per area and if you are lucky enough to find a diligent recruiter they will tell you.

Social networks and communications platforms have value because there are people using them. I'm sure you know this, it's called the network effect.

Facebook's services are places where people in my demographic have accumulated social networks that sometimes forms connections in actual socializing.

When we throw parties with my best friends for a wider social circles, friends and acquaintances included, we still use Facebook events, to coordinate them, as an example.

Similarly, although I use Signal to talk to my closest friends, Facebook Messenger is still a functional way to get hold of people when you don't have their phone number or e-mail. Where I'm from, people my age didn't really collect phone numbers, since Facebook's convenient for that.

Transferring the connection between myself and these acquaintances may be cumbersome or awkward, and mind you, I'm the kind of person who insists on moving conversations to Signal after a certain point.

As a case in point, it took years to make Signal something that I actually use for real social connections outside my closest circle of people who humor my nerdy demands. And only succeeded thanks to
1) me having moved some group chats to Whatsapp for encryption the minute Whatsapp released a desktop app in May 2016. This moved the social graph to my phone book, which made it easy to switch to Signal over time. The initial move to Whatsapp worked because people already used it.
2) the larger network effect of Signal taking off, largely over the last year.

So, with all of this hassle in mind, I'm not going to tell people who, bluntly put, are at risk of being lonely, to drop useful social tools.
