The truth about Svelte: https://gist.github.com/Rich-Harris/0f910048478c2a6505d1c321...

Svelte was a minimalistic and familiarity-optimised response to Imba:

"These projects are all very cool, but there's a reason they haven't hit mass adoption: they want to control the entire world. You can't adopt Elm or Imba incrementally"
- Rich Harris of Svelte

Created in 2010. Released some 7 years ago, Github repo in around 2015.

Not every Discord server is configured like that. With many, you just add the server and start chatting. Some servers use the "role" thing to slow down spam and force an acknowledgement of the server rules.
Why? This is a package, not a fork of the project.
Truth gets to decide what is misinformation. This is a divisive and absurd response to a simple statement. The truth is knowable quite easily when lies aren't allowed to survive.
It's a problem that headlines commonly use "our planet" or "life on earth", with what is actually destabilized is merely "human civilization, in its current form, size, and characteristics; along side an ecosystem well into an anthropocene extinction"

The planet will be just fine.

Life on earth will be just fine. The worst we could possibly manage is beating it down by eliminating a few kingdoms; and that's vanishingly unlikely.

What is at risk is every level of the stack of "civilization" and its processes; and perhaps perpetuation of our species, though again, it would be very, very, hard to wipe us out, even intentionally. A particularly bad pandemic or set of pandemics, riding on top of prior systemic collapse and massive climate change, might do it. But almost certainly not. There are a lot of people, in a lot of places, and modulo catastrophic climate destabilization married to pragmatic total blockers on migration, life uh finds a way.

Human life would be brutish and short to be sure. For a while.

None of this is reason to not fight to the last to prevent collapse scenarios. I'm just tired of breezy self-important shorthands when lack of precision and hand-waving contributed to our current crises.
this is referred to as a polyvalent vaccine, and it is a good thing to do once we understand enough about the antigens in question to incorporate both in one shot. There is nothing of course precluding two different vaccines of differenct valence, and we have been doing this for a short time now, when we combine single jab mRna vaccines, with adenoviral vectored vaccines, there is very slight sequence variation between adV and mRNA vaccines however by strictest interpretation this is a multivalant[bivalant] scenario.
> With hindsight, do you think something like that was happening at BP too?

I'm pretty sure BP spent more on marketing their sustainability initiatives than they actually spent on their sustainability initiatives.
Wow! You'd think with that kind of money they'd be able to fix 10 year old bugs in Firefox.

What the hell is that money going towards?
But the statement being replied to was

> Imagine being called a minority in a place you are the majority

which implies that only the area of Tibet is being discussed. And

> Tibetan people represent 0.4% of the Chinese population

implies that all of China is being discussed.

So there's a disconnect there. The comment about Native Americans was presumably being read in the context of "Native Americans in the Unites States", which is a context where they are, indeed, a minority.

I expect the original comment about Native Americans was made in the sense of "like how the US treated Native Americans", not "the facts presented (majority, living there for a long time) also apply to the Native Americans". Whereas the reply to that comment was, I assume, made based on the second interpretation.

So not dense or intentional, just a different understanding of what was being said, because of ambiguity.

And, because people like to feel superior and assume everyone interprets everything the same way they do even when ambiguous, the poor responder got a bunch of down votes lumped on them.
Yup. That is a page from the cultural assimilation playbook. This is also why much effort went into building a rail line from the heartlands of China into Tibet, including crazy engineering feats necessary to stabilize soil within the weather extremes of those region.

Another page from the playbook: standardize the official script in which you write the spoken language. That has happened multiple times in Chinese history. And American history too.
I did a quick calculation. If you assume all of the U.S. energy consumption goes into stocks and forex trading (the only numbers that were easy to google quickly), dollar trades are about the same dollars traded per kWh as bitcoin, maybe a tad worse.

In actuality, there are more dollar transactions that doesn't include, so the numerator is bigger. It also uses much much less than the total U.S. energy consumption, so the denominator is much much smaller.

A bigger numerator and much much smaller denominator tells me that bitcoin is much much less efficient than traditional systems in dollars traded per kWh.

The fuller quote that you conveniently leftout for it to match your sources is:

> if Israel wanted its Arab population on birth control

(emphasis mine)

So, for a start the article is about something completely different.

Secondly the article seems pretty open about the fact that the claims are dubious at best.
No?

I'm saying that Nigeria has per capita the largest Bitcoin using population on Earth compared to other countries, which is a counterpoint to the argument that people that need it (escaping local currency controls + inflation) are not using it. I am arguing that people that need it ARE using it.
To be fair, a majority of the native population died due to the Europeans inadvertently introducing Smallpox. While I agree with your argument as a whole, I would advise against trying to use numerical arguments for Europe's treatment of the natives.

GNU formalized a system of tuple definitions for identifying build, host, and target environments, which was popularized by Autotools. See https://autotools.io/autoconf/canonical.html#autoconf.canoni... and https://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/autoconf/manual/a... Even if you don't use Autotools, this is the canonical way to specify environments in the Unix world, though often a simplified version is employed. (By canonical I mean the one project-agnostic system that everybody at least nominally acknowledges. It's hardly the only system out there. Even Debian has their own alternative: https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/Tuples .)

The tuples historically had 3 components--cpu, vendor and operating system. But especially as uclibc and musl became more widespread the last component is commonly split into kernel-libc. (I think this was originally extended for the benefit of Debian GNU/kFreeBSD.) The formal OS identifier for glibc-based Linux systems is "linux-gnu" (e.g. x86_64-pc-linux-gnu), and for musl "linux-musl" (e.g. aarch64-alpine-linux-musl).

Vendor is not very useful these days. It's common to see 3-tuples of cpu-kernel-libc, as opposed to 4-tuples or traditional 3-tuples. Sometimes the system is extended into, e.g., 5-tuples like cpu-vendor-kernel-libc-compiler. Autotools projects commonly have a bit of generated shell code for parsing tuples; it's quite complex owing to ~30 years of accumulated idiosyncrasies.
>Windows 10 can run virtually all apps compiled against Windows 2000 just fine, and those apps did not have to bundle their own graphical toolkits.

They do if they're buildtusing Qt, GTK, WxWidgets, etc. Also shipping DirectX and VC++ runtime libraries, .NET runtimes, etc. was and still is (for whatever reason) still common and stuff just doesn't work without it. Plus whatever else the program needs, like a whole python runtime or something.

>Is it any wonder that no one can ship and maintain a binary app that targets GTK without bundling it?

Distributions have no problem doing it. If you're shipping something outside the distribution why would you ever expect that shipping only half your program would be feasible? There is no OS where that works.
There's also a negative impact of not posting paywalled links: it lowers the quality of the content we discuss here. Some really great stuff is behind paywalls. There's a reason people pay for subscriptions when there are still free news sites available.

Recent discoveries of cultural genocide of natives in Canada also tells quite a story: children taken from families, school graveyards...

We, Europeans, are a cynical crowd.
self taught as well, though I did take a degree in electrical engineering to complement my programming.

Loved electronics and computers from some of my earliest memories. I have a fond one of waiting at radio shack to demo windows 95 on their computers and when I first discovered Linux at my local library.

I used to get all the books out and only when I got home did I know if I could use them with my computer since most were old and were old Motorola's lol. C/C++ and PHP seemed to be the easiest at the time for me to learn so those were my starting steps.
Over-engineered code has a lot of coupling where incidental equivalence may have been misapplied as fundamental sameness. This was discussed here on one of my favorite PLC programming blogs:

https://www.contactandcoil.com/automation/industrial-automat...

Copy and paste are great tools. Making all 6 buttons in a particular grid with the code:

grid.AddNewButton(1, 1, "Thing 1", Color.White, Color.Black, onClick1());
grid.AddNewButton(1, 2, "Thing 2", Color.White, Color.Black, onClick2());
grid.AddNewButton(1, 3, "Thing 3", Color.White, Color.Black, onClick3());
grid.AddNewButton(2, 1, "Thing 4", Color.White, Color.Black, onClick4());
grid.AddNewButton(2, 2, "Thing 5", Color.White, Color.Black, onClick5());
grid.AddNewButton(2, 3, "Thing 6", Color.White, Color.Black, onClick6());

keeps this incidental sameness in mind. Just looking at the above code causes programmers everywhere (myself included) to imagine ways in which the above could be done with a `for` loop, computing the row and column numbers from the index, using string concatenation for the labels, creating an array of onClick handlers and indexing into it... But that forces fundamental sameness where there may not be any; a little repetition doesn't hurt.
> consider that the whole "big oil lobbies governments" thing flies right in the face of the "democracy is the voice of the people" argument

I don't think it does. An important part of the lobbying is that we know oil companies are attempting to intentionally deceive politicians and the public about the negative effects of their industry and the positive effects of competitors. That deception is the point at play, the voice of the people can be misinformed.

> If people collectively don't care to fight back at a legislative level against socialized costs, wouldn't that logically mean they're the ones ultimately responsible for their own predicament?

This reads a lot to me like blaming the victim of a scam for being scammed. I've met quite a few climate skeptics in my day regurgitating oil lobbying talking points that were known to be false when published. I don't blame them for not fully comprehending the science behind climate change, I blame those oil companies are knowingly misinforming them.

The OP seems to be assuming the abstractions in the over-engineered code are all clean. If that's the case, the abstractions really can be like partially-solved portions of a jigsaw puzzle. It's a common, flawed conceit that you can get design clean abstractions up-front with pure engineering discipline/process, though.
I agree that the romanticized view of the tibetan societal structure is often very naive.

But, of course, this does not mean that a forced annexation and subjugation by china is the only way that reforms could be made, or in fact the best. There are many different ways of modernization, some totalitarian ones and more liberal ones.

I guess it should be clear which are preferable.
Yeah, the chinese government is looking for a way to get rid of the Tibetans. The Americans have done well in ensuring the native population has lost power and are shrinking. The end goal of china is to be rid of their Tibetan scourge, just like the Americans would like it if the natives stopped existing
Our electrical grid was mostly coal which is more carbon intensive than gas, requiring an efficiency not possible for heat pumps to emit less carbon than burning natural gas directly. Additionally they did not work below freezing well or at all.

Of course, insulation is and was the most carbon-efficient investment.
Tibetan and Han shared same genetic roots, so does their language (collectively classified as Sino-Tibetan languages). Legendly, in the dawn of human memories, the ancestors of Tibetan lost a tribal war against the ancestors of Han in the east and migrated west to a less-inhabited / less-suitable area as a result.
This type of "evil genius" is quite successful at brainwashing people though.
r/worldnews

The sub has gone to hell a good few years ago. If your opinions are anywhere right of woke, you get banned straight up. It is often considered a badge of honor to get banned from r/worldnews. A sign that you haven't fully given in to the hive mind. Funnily enough, the best world news subreddit right now is reddit.com/r/anime_titties (SFW). It started as a joke subreddit satirizing r/neutralpolitics being taken over by porn, but has somehow managed to be the best world news subreddit despite the tongue-in-cheek name.

A lot of innocuous subreddits implement sweeping bans for participation in any black-listed subreddit. r/offmychest is famous for a huge ban hammer (I'm a victim). Honestly, every subreddit that has a r/trueSubreddit version has run into this exact problem at some point.

Honestly, most of the default subs are pretty much hard-censored already. The election year has to led to the complete deterioration of wat used to be well-moderated subs like r/science and r/ask_historians.

Then there are the geographical subs. The default country subs are almost all hard-censored. r/India is so bad, that there's conspiracies about it being run by an ISI operative. Sadly, the reaction to r/India's polarization was the formation of another heavily polarized subreddit in r/india_speaks. So now we have 2 uniquely bad subreddits. In the US, I have noticed a similar thing happen to r/seattle and r/seattleWA around views on homelessness, but to a lesser degree of mutual deterioration.

Any time I step into the real world, I squarely fall into the urban atheist liberal mould. Yet for some reason, the exact same views warrant complete ostracization on a lot of these internet front pages. The insularity of the echo-chamber is mind-boggling.

Your experience agrees with mine. It may be TEDIOUS, but it's generally easier to fix underengineering which (IMO) tends to be wide but not deep issues.

Overengineering has its hooks everywhere; even WITH tests, changing something changes everything.

I've come to realize that at least for the level of engineering I'm exposed to that boilerplate is not always bad, copy/paste is perfectly valid to a point (which for me is usually "2-3"), and DRY is a tool, not a design goal.
Apple has surpassed Facebook and Google in violating user trust
Back in March I was super excited to order the "shipping in June" librem 14 laptop. Contacted support, was told august 1st, no news.

I would stay clear of this company. They might have good intentions but clearly they suck at supply chain.
Oh, they have thought about it, and very early on at that. When Jefferson was drafting the Declaration of Independence, it had this bit in it:

"He [king] has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating its most sacred rights of life and liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating & carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere or to incur miserable death in their transportation thither. This piratical warfare, the opprobrium of infidel powers, is the warfare of the Christian King of Great Britain. Determined to keep open a market where Men should be bought & sold, he has prostituted his negative for suppressing every legislative attempt to prohibit or restrain this execrable commerce."

This was removed from the final version during committee review. Much later, Jefferson explained what he believed the reason for this was:

"The clause...reprobating the enslaving the inhabitants of Africa, was struck out in compliance to South Carolina and Georgia, who had never attempted to restrain the importation of slaves, and who on the contrary still wished to continue it. Our Northern brethren also I believe felt a little tender under these censures; for tho' their people have very few slaves themselves, yet they had been pretty considerable carriers of them to others."

The supreme irony here, of course, is that Jefferson himself was a slave owner until his death. And he had something to say on that, as well; written in 1820, on the occasion of the Missouri Compromise:

"... as it is, we have the wolf by the ear, and we can neither hold him, nor safely let him go. Justice is in one scale, and self-preservation in the other."
In the UK Pfizer and AZ both are on 8 weeks protocols and the UK has seen a sharper drop in Pfizer efficacy compared to AZ.

I got Pfizer in the UK, I also suspect to have had it in March (3 days of some coughing and loss of smell), I’m under 40 so no AZ for me.
Yes, what was done to native Americans was wrong and should not be done to Tibetans, Uyghurs, Mongolians, or any other ethnicity in China.
This seems pretty accurate; the quality of the flour, tomatoes, and other ingredients just can't match up in Korea.

There are some Korean dishes which do rely on ingredients and simplicity, thinking of a dish like mulhwae, but pizza is kind of a novelty. And if it's going to be a novelty, it might as well be a bit of a spectacal.

Personally, I love exploring both sides!
12. Make new source code open – Service Manual
As in, their app is really bad all around?

Totally agree.
That feels like a really high class problem to have. You have a product that got you to IPO, and it hit the end of its lifespan and needed to be upgraded/rebuilt.
Right.. both are bad things. If we could go back in time, we should be telling the US not to abuse and displace the native americans.

I'm confused why there's any disagreement here.
You'll immediately find a lot of those people if you re-frame the question in terms of reparations.

In the same way, there's no shortage of people in America condemning police treatment of HK protestors (Repressed people fighting for freedom), who also support police treatment of BLM protestors (Rioters and lowlifes with no real grievances who just want to ruin everything).

That's because most people don't hold political ideology derived from first principles, they just check what their political tribe likes/hates, and follow suit.
All you did was point out why there wasn't enough supply. We all know why big cities have a supply shortage and it is because regulations and existing property owners make it either impossible or too onerous to build more homes. What you did was just state the obvious take away from my statement in a long winded manner, while apparently under the misunderstanding that there's someone left who hasn't heard this all before.
Lots of seemingly unwarranted gray comments in this thread.
I recall that when I was in Chiavenna (in the north, bordering Switzerland) there is a valley with a large chestnut forest. Chestnuts used to be a staple in that region.

You can also read up on the ancient roman diet, there are many sources on that.
This article assumes the overengineered abstractions make sense, as if they were all part of the same puzzle. Sometimes the code is just an abstract mess.

In my experience is not so much about under or over engineering but about how the dependencies and the side-effects were handled.

Given the choice of working on 1 of 2 code bases that solve the same problem I will choose the one where the dependencies and the side-effects are more up front.
Yeah, why aren't we putting more effort into getting an intranasal vaccine approved for emergency use? An intranasal vaccine would confer mucosal immunity and might also be more acceptable to the vaccine hesitant. They're talking about 3rd shot boosters, but I'd really like to be able to get an intranasal vaccine as the third booster.
Tibet is a threat to China, since it's where the rivers start. Tibet under India's control is a doomsday scenario for chinese sovereignty
Honestly, I think most of it is culture war.

The people who oppose oil companies are often the same people who take progressive views on a lot of other topics -- gay rights, gun control, pollution, etc. And that generates an almost knee-jerk opposition: anything they are for, we must be against.

It's tribalism. If liberals are opposed to oil companies, than oil companies must be good. Then they'll be provided with arguments to support it, derived by think tanks and distributed via dedicated media, web sites, social media, etc. Those are generally pretty poor arguments, but it doesn't matter: they have a thing to say, and no particular interest in questioning it.

So the whole thing ends up being shortcut by the longstanding culture war between left and right. Neither side has to do any thinking; the thinking is all done for them. It just so happens that the anti-oil-company side is having its thinking done by scientists, while the pro-oil-company side has its thinking done by professional propagandists, political strategists, and the occasional hand on the wheel from full-time troll farms.
Yes, in authoritarian regimes.

Can you give an example of software (not data...) that is illegal to run in the US?
Yes, only 1.7% after 500 years of....being left alone?
The funnel experiment examples are interesting. The fourth case (T' = H) is a great example of normalization of deviance [0]. Without a clearly communicated target to return to, you reliably shift further and further from that initial target, not even oscillating around the target like in the third case.
