Everyone who wants the best for the world knew that the bretton woods system was flawed the day it was created. The idea that it shouldn't have collapsed is completely alien to me.

I had to chuckle at this:

>“Austrian economics is really just trying to dispel the logical fallacies inherent in Keynesian logic, starting at first principles and then building you way up from there,” says Prentice

Keynesian economics is about maintaining the current money system, a system of logical fallacies. Any logical fallacies inherent in Keynesian logic only exist to make a logically incoherent system work. So yeah Austrian economists get to feel smart for criticizing the Keynesians that try to keep the leaky plumbing working. Meanwhile the Austrians argue for their own brand of leaky plumbing but this time with smaller pipes and tell you that if the pipes burst or the pipes leak half their water that is perfectly fine.

If one truly were against Keynesian intervention then you would try to find pipes that aren't leaky. It would obsolete the need for both ideologies.
Um, what? I think you misunderstood me. Or you are unaware that DMARC and DKIM records live on subdomains.
Ahah, your comment has the same vibe as this great fiction of how would Richard Feynmann pass a "lateral-thinking puzzle" interview question.

my question was more about cases where the tail recursive version isn't possible, or even worst when the code isn't written in a tail recursive way but you expect the compiler to rewrite it to the tail recursive version.

the fact that FP works over a model of computation (aka an abstraction over the underlying hardware limits) makes it a bit harder to visualize its behavior in the bounded real-world environment ( imho ).

The more i progress the more i want to develop with "visible wires", and reduce the amount of abstraction to its most basic components..
Maybe things have changed but I used Erlang/OTP for a while, and at the time, it wasn't easy to learn it by yourself. The language itself was not an issue, but building a useful program required good familiarity with the library ecosystem, i.e. the user-written modules that were scattered all over Github and not just the standard libraries that came with the system. There were several books on Erlang that each consciously decided to document only the standard stuff. So the only way to know what was where was maintain contact with other Erlang developers, go to the (excellent) Erlang Factory conferences (now called Code BEAM), and so on. Inside a company I think you need a critical mass of devs to keep a project going and also keep track of the outside Erlang world, which was in a state of flux and probably still is. In Python or C++ or even Haskell, it's easier to get by with some web searches and online chats.

That all said, Erlang/Elixir/BEAM is a great way to write concurrent systems, much better than the async madness that was inflicted on us by Node and has more recently spread into Python. The book learnyousomeerlang.com is a good place to start. Elixir is newer and has different (Ruby-like instead of Prolog-like) syntax, but is mostly the same underneath, from what I've been told.
> Top-down/procedural fits really nicely with the unix command line philosophy. Loose coupling and pipes.

I don't think that follows at all. Unix shell programming is very much a bottom-up philosophy where you write a bunch of generic tools and then string them together to solve your actual problem at the last minute.
In the linked article they resolve collisions via chaining:

> A typical hash function distributes keys randomly across the slots in a hash table, causing some slots to be empty, while others have collisions, which require some form of chaining of items

I.e. each field in the table is a linked list of values that hash to this position, and the new value is inserted in the shortest of the two lists it hashes to.

Natural gas is the most eco friendly source of energy of the fossil fuels. The push for renewables is great, and those should become a bigger percentage of our usage.

But until the day that they are, natural gas is the best one we have. Pushing people to move away from it just because its Bad, doesn't make sense. That would simply move from you burning gas to some electricity company burning gas. With huge economic impact in the mean time for all those that have to buy really expensive heat pumps.
If you set the quality parameter to > 95% when creating a JPG from original picture, you won't be able to tell any differences between the PNG and the JPG, especially when the full width of the image is limited to max 720 pixels as it is on this website.

There is literally no reasons to prefer PNG over JPG in this specific scenario.
I have no idea why it didn't work on previous tries, my conclusion that the song wasn't in the Shazam database was faulty though, as that Twitter user proved.
This still won't fix the bat-shit-stupid idea of browser developers to just forward anything they think is not resolvable (and often even if it IS a valid local FQDN) to the next best search engine...
> Since heat pumps are over 100% efficient

You might want to check your numbers on that. Nothing is over 100% efficient.

This is hardly ‘reserved’. It just describes existing practice without in any way designating it as safe, recommended or future-proof.
Since the website sets the images to have a max width of 720 pixels, it should really just be that instead too :)
Thank you for making me rethink my terminology.

When talking about "amateur", I thought about the "amo" part first (=love, and Tim Dodd obviously loves rockets), then about the massive institutional support that organizations like BBC have and he doesn't.

So I concede the point: Everyday Astronaut is every bit a professional, though with limited equipment.
Notice I talked about Natural gas, not national gas.

Gas is imported. Has been for decades.
>The point of advertising is to sell a persuasive message. Nobody is immune to persuasion.

I think that there is some form of automatic anti-persuasion feeling going on too. You feel more negative about something when you feel that it is being pushed 'too hard'.
Rational is a big word. I don't believe anything is ever 100% rational. Is making good decisions based on implicit learning (which is entirely subconscious) rational?

to be precise, marketing is just a way to engage with the target audience and potentially start a conversation/relationship.

It's not that hard to reach or even meet "geek" decision makers face to face. Just go to any tech conference. send something insighful to the mailing list with non-intrusive link in the signature. hit them up on linkedin/other interest groups. I'm totally OK with vendors get into bidding wars over SEO keywords so I can find what I need this minute much quicker.

Ads, however, likely do not work on non-neurotypicals as well as on normies. Some of studies on that (probably worthless fwiw): https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/09567976176948...

Why would anyone want to have someone shitting into their brains anyway? There is reason ad-blockers and such are so popular.

Geeks just tend confuse marketing and ads, not sure why. maybe most of them never tried to market/sell anything?

Of course, ads do work on everyone, to the extent they manage to capture your attention. When was the last time you bought anything because you saw an ad? All of them are pure cringe. Placed content/paid editorials? Just as cringe.

True to form, I've also duly ignored the article and dived straight into comment, to avoid any marketing potentially influencing me directly.
Not really, it's technically a copyright violation just like SciHub is.

Whether the rightsholder would consider this a problem or not is another question.
> During the interview, Mr. Federighi said the database of images is constructed through the intersection of images from multiple child-safety organizations — not just the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. He added that at least two “are in distinct jurisdictions.”

I think this is quite interesting and if it was enforced cryptographically (i.e. Apple could only decrypt if there were hashes matching at least from 2 distinct datasets) and if these datasets were from different jurisdictions, then I think this could put to rest a lot of the fears about government interference.

You want a Winnie the Pooh image in our DB? Sure. As long as no other jurisdiction adds it, its a complete no-op.
I have no doubt that Apple doesn't really want to implement this, and have tried to find a "non intrusive" way of doing it.

The sad truth is that once lawmakers decide they want access to all data all the time, there's nothing Apple, Google or Microsoft can do to stop that, except going out of business.

That being said, the big players in cloud storage have scanned your files for a decade. Google, Microsoft, Amazon, they all scan files being uploaded. Apple may also be doing this for iCloud Drive.

The only way to circumvent this is to use E2E encryption, either by using a service that has E2E encryption built in, or by "rolling your own", i.e. using Cryptomator. Again, this is just one law away from being outlawed.

The thing that bothers me most is that hashes are somewhat trivial to spoof[1], so if someone was to get a hold of the list of hashes, they could start sending spoof messages on a large scale, causing a false positive.

I remember when Echelon was making the rounds on the internet a couple of decades ago, and lots of people started adding X headers to their emails to cause false positives.

Damn, I never heard of her, I remember reading that Gene Shoemaker died in a car crash in Australia, but I think the article I read didn't even mention that his fellow astronomer and wife was badly injured in the same accident.
> But I think the difference is somewhere else. I don't think nerds are any less emotional.

Yes, this is it.

"Nerds" are just another collection of market demographics. They (whoever they may be) are driven by a complex mix of desires and emotions just like everyone else. I don't think advertisers even bother to have a bin that one would label as "nerd". We are FAR beyond such coarse distinctions in the era of surveillance capitalism. Isn't that the point these days? To market at such a fine granularity that it becomes individuals?

Sure, turn on your adblockers, fire up your pi-holes and make intricate ublock-origin filters. You're still being marketed to, and if you're buying stuff, it is working.
https://www.iredmail.org/ is another longstanding mailserver-in-a-box if you want to do self-hosting.
> You just like to know the details so you can try to make a comparison between options

Well, and if you don't know, or even stronger, don't want to know those things then it'd be much easier to sell you whatever the marketer is trying to sell you.
For all the things saying not to use it, I've not run in to any issues with .local. It's reserved so it won't be delegated on the internet, it makes sense as a word and mDNS continues to work correctly. So far I haven't seen any devices that try to resolve over mDNS instead of DNS.
If behvaiours cause damage to (inter)national safety, then cheating - in ways that are generally hard to hide - should become a lot less socially acceptable.

People will also, I reckon, begin to realize that a lot of the externalities from CO2-emitting activities (car noise, pollution, traffic and lack of exercise, for example) are things that they won't want to return to.
All I want from a “bank” is an account number, a card, and that they get out of my way. So I use Wise.
Do notation would only benefit Java, not all the other languages on the JVM. Do-notation would also not solve the problem outlined in the "What color is my function" article.

By doing it this way, the entire JVM ecosystem get's the benefits of async/await without changing the Java language. It's also easier for developers to learn (do what you're used to with threads, just use this .virtualThreadPool function instead and be extravagant with the number of threads in the pool).
I honestly think that unless something akin to a war happens interest rates will stay low. 2% at worst. This isn't because "government bankrupt" or whatever. It's because that is what happens when you live through 80 years of peace with almost no major conflict. We don't need to grow up because we are already adults. That kind of thing.

So yeah tax that money out of the economy. Maintain trust and peace.
The back-and-forth sounds similar to the same concerns raised about mail-in voting and security of the vote for last year, or even for strong action to be taken in early days of the pandemic (masks, border closures, etc).

Nothing to see here since nothing has happened yet, after it happens it's too late to do anything about it. Oops!

Sad I guess, but not unexpected any more.
Soylent, Huel etc... admittedly they're made out of various plants rather than growing their proteins etc. in a vat.
Knowing how Deutsche Telekom operates, I find it unlikely that the German branch and the Austrian branch share enough systems to make accidental data sharing possible. Deutsche Telekom is a labyrinth of branches, departments and companies, each with their own systems and processes.

It's more likely that the person gave the wrong email.
S-VHS was very commonly used for data in the pro-audio world in form of ADAT:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADAT

Apparently that was about 1.8 GB of data. Cassette tapes were also common in early computers:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_Datasette

Apparently in the "Turbo-Tape" iteration, they could store about 2 MB.
> IIRC you can get to high occupancy by doing enough rehashes.

Yeah so how many total insertions (as part of the rehashing) do you expect to have to do to achieve 99% occupancy? Wouldn't it be even worse than O(n^2)?

And if you're going to spend a lot of time rebuilding the hash table all the time, then why not just use a perfect hash generator?
skeptical about the concept in general...but want to make a dent in societies carbon footprint...?

Doesn't personal footprint translate into societal footprint?

Otherwise, nothing short of banning all food and force-feeding everyone bugs, or having a few world wars is going to make a dent.
Yes your argument is brilliant!! Let me use your reasoning for a second:

My post was the equivalent of "this is a sphere." Your reply is the equivalent of "this is a circle.". Thus, you are wrong. Why? Because math.

If you want to argue like this, I'll be here all day. :).

Btw, when you have two opposing viewpoints you are supposed to use your reasoning skills to determine truth, not apriori decide what is true as if it's an abstract math problem and stick your fingers in your ears so you don't hear any disturbing contradictions.
Why? You can easily emulate a state machine with a while loop, a switch case and one more level of if-branches. Abstracting those in a framework doesn't make it unstructured IMO.
Site which help to find snow resort for snowboarding
Hi guys. I and my friend recently launched new site which helps find convenient snow resort and provide detail information about snow resort ( price, rating and etc). What do you think about it? Maybe something incorrect, or you have idea about new features which we could be create. I will be appreciate you for feedback!
But that doesn't exist any more. Blue jeans and rock music/rebel culture has been replaced with Blue Checkmarks and Cancel Culture.

> We can never be sure that every building’s solar is properly isolated from the grid.

This sounds like a risk that needs to be balanced against other risks. If the fire on that bus had got to the point that it was clearly going to burn the passengers alive, it surely would have been better to allow them to walk over a possibly-electrified area? That's assuming that the responders wouldn't have needed to walk over it though.

Corporate politics and death by committee. These standards were created by many parties with conflicting interests. My understanding is that they couldn't agree on an exact way From header should be checked and thus deferred all policy aspects to further standard.

If you read DKIM RFC it actually only specifies how to sign and verify the email signature, but does not mandate exact checks recipient should do to figure out authenticity. E.g. technically Microsoft could send mail from @gmail.com address and use "d=outlook.com" in the signature - the signature would be valid, but obviously it wouldn't make it authentic (meaning such mail wouldn't be authorized by Google). Although common sense dictates that there should be some sort of connection between domain seen in From header and the one that's DKIM-signing the mail (and most real-world implementations will do some kind of checks), RFC deliberately does not standardize these steps.

The intended standard that should have clarified these issues was ADSP, but it wasn't well received and now we have DMARC which handles both SPF and DKIM together (this is better for deliverability as mails that fail one of these checks might still pass another).
I wonder if there is a way to solve it such that both the shooter and the target are safe?
And before C# got $-interpolation, almost every project had a static StringUtils class with an extension method FormatStr for string... seriously, I never quite understood the reasons why Format was made a static method instead of an instance method.
>That prudence causes unemployment, business cycles and relative poverty.

Clearly you've never had the experience of being poor, living paycheck to paycheck, deep in debt and trying to scrape together what meager savings you can. What kind of person are you, to wish that experience on someone in the name of some pseudoscientific, unfalsifiable claptrap about business cycles? Savings is how the poor move to middle class; destroying that savings is pulling the ladder out from under them.
I doubt it but lets imagine an alternate reality where Afghanistan started becoming an important trade partner to reduce dependence on China. We definitively prevented that alternate future from happening so there is a non zero impact on inflation but it's irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. It certainly doesn't explain 5% or higher inflation.
While I like the idea, I am not sure if I am comfortable with giving my phone number.
Maybe you're referring to something else, but what I noticed was due to case sensitivity.

Turning off case sensitivity lead to orders of magnitude difference in directory performance, and since most applications just use what they get from the system for filenames, there's very few problems in practice.

My main machines are all Windows and I've been running my NAS with case sensitivity off for almost a decade now, and only a few times did I have to manually rename some file through the NAS (two files with same name but different case). I use my NAS actively for a lot of things, including sharing files across my machines.
and why can't AI outperform here as well?

>Dollars need to be backed by economy and taxes.

The funny part is that USD only have to be backed by the world economy. A war in Afghanistan certainly didn't help it become an important part of the world economy and therefore it didn't help the USD.
> Afghanistan is never going to have a "stable situation" because it's not a single country with a single national identity.

This applies to USA and it's a single country
Zx is good if JavaScript is only language you know. If you have ability to program or learn other programming languages, Python with packages like Shell and Plumbum might be better choices for shell scripting tasks that outgrow shell.

- Python code with Shell is easier to read ana write

- No nees to carry async/await keywords thru the code

- Powerful plain text manipulation in the stdlib
