The reason that we have programming languages at all is that English and all other natural languages are too ambiguous to be used for this purpose.

GPT-3000 will have no problem understanding some interpretation of your English (or Spanish or Mandarin) "program", but will it be the right one? How long will it take to get GPT-3000 to understand what you mean when you can only talk to it in English (or Spanish or Mandarin) ?

Outdoor doesn't imply in direct sunlight. I've used my eInk devices outside for years, but I would burn up if I stayed in sunlight.
Not to mention the Vietnam war or any of the other wars we've been involved with in the Middle East. Not to mention drug cartels in Mexico and Latin/South America.

I'm not sure how anyone can argue that a population with weapons can't hold off a tyrannical government. It is the same reason Marx said that under no means should we disarm the populous. I think people often forget that a government can't just kill all its population. Not only can you not rule over the dead but you also are going to have a hard time interacting in global trade (thanks globalism, but this even held true in the 1700's). It is kinda odd that this sentiment also often comes out of a country where some farmers fought off the country with the biggest navy and had an empire so great that the sun never set on it. Civil wars are extremely costly to countries. Also I'm not sure why everyone thinks that people from the military (including generals and entire battalions) wouldn't defect. That's also pretty common when looking at history.
Your experience is horrifying. Not long till you can arrested for thought crimes if this trend keeps continuing.
I'm sure you know more than me but I can't help but remember all the people who said 1200baud, or 9600baud the fastest the copper wires in my phone line could ever physically handle. Well, my house still has the same wires but somehow they are magically magically handling > 1gig connections.
Ahh.

That makes sense.

I definitely do appreciate it, I couldn't figure out JUCE when I tired to use it.
Heads up, and not because of any stance I hold on this issue:

I don't know if OP posted this story multiple times, or if this is a template that people are using, but I've definitely seen this story with incredibly similar wording and pacing on HN before.
Google just paid Apple $15 billion to be the default search engine on ios platform.

Let's assume that lax privacy laws of a particular country allow data sharing between Google and Apple, and they've negotiated a data sharing agreement in their contract. This means Apple can now have access to all search queries of any user who uses the Google search engine. Let's also assume that Apple has access to the users browsing history (they do if you enable Safari / iCloud tabs with iCloud) and weak privacy laws allow them to use this data however they want.

With just a user's browsing history and search data, Apple can get a lot of insights into the user's personal and professional interests.

Once it builds these kind of profiles, they can now use it in various ways:

- Show you ads in apps / websites based on your interests. (Apple has an advertising network).

- Promote paid apps that match your interest to tempt you to pay for it. (Apple has an App store).

- Increase the price of apps that Apple thinks you may be interested in, based on your personal data. (Apple gets a percentage from every paid app).

and so on ... there is a lot of other ways to exploit such user data - e.g. Apple uses the credit card data user provide it get the user's financial credit score. They collate this data, along with other data points, to price their products ("hey, we have a lot of rich users, let's price our product higher" or "some of our users our from middle income group - let's ask AT&T to create a financial package so that they can buy our costly phones and pay in installment"). Heck, with Apple Pay, I won't even be surprised if they even know everything you buy from them.
Is that consistent with their claim that it's a fundamentally new chemistry?
Unfortunately, future employers will say "what the hell is The Open University" and will believe that it's some sort of scam or diploma mill.

Are you able to take the credits you have and complete a bachelor's in something like business administration from a local university/community college?
There's what the police can legally demand. And then there's what the police can legally do to make a civilian think they can legally demand anything. Turns out they can pressure you quite a bit during the length of a Terry stop.
The benefit here is that zig is batteries-included. The fact that you can drive to the store and buy batteries if you need them is missing the point.
An engineer friend, at VW, told me more people fall to their deaths from ladders than die on the autobahn. In DE, of course. He's one of those engineerz that evaluates the moral consequences of the companies processes, writ large. And you need an engineer for moral calculus. Sadly, this is still new territory for large companies.
If Zig can solve the C++ build system quagmire then I will love it for that reason alone, even if I never write a line of Zig for any other purpose.
The McDonalds I was at in Moscow was not only clean and well maintained, they were hosting a kids birthday party, and the parents felt comfortable enough to drop off the kids and leave.

In some cases, people will pay you for making things that help them hurt or exploit other people. It could be argued that this constitutes making the world a worse place.

For example, you could get paid by criminals to make ransomware or by an ad company to flood users with ads or by a cryptocurrency company for building tools that facilitate money laundering and tax evasion or by a government to create a database of dissidents and protesters or by a toy company to use ML to generate fake reviews...
Rights issues, and of course the fact that BBC content is -- a fair whack of BBC funding comes from Worldwide (or whatever it's called this week), which sells BBC material internationally. Watch a BBC production on CBS or PBS or BBS or whatever and some money goes back to the BBC. I believe Britbox is an option too.

Same with television formats. Dancing with the Stars I believe is a popular US program based on a BBC show, the format has been licensed to half the planet.
> Well making a vaccine which doesn't reduce your infectiousness, and doesn't reduce your ability to contract the virus mandatory is asinine.

I agree that the vaccine does not prevent all infections. but disagree that's the only thing that would give it value. the world of infectious diseases is not binary and attempting to evaluate or imply that a binary anything other than 100% efficacy is the only thing of value is either dishonest or negligent.

> Literally the only thing the vaccine does is boost your own immune system's response to COVID. It doesn't protect others in any way shape or form. So making it mandatory is a terrible idea in general.

Full disclosure I agree with the idea that mandatory vaccines are problematic. but I disagree with your argument about why it's problematic. and reject your assertions about the quality and usefulness of the vaccine. You define the vaccines capabilities as only improving an individual's immune system and then go on to assert that that doesn't protect others. Which is either a malicious argument or a gross misunderstanding of reality. if I have a vaccine that turns an infection from 2 weeks to 1 week I'm also infectious for half the time. thus in reality I would only be capable of infecting reasonably half the number of people.

you seem to me under the misunderstanding that because the vaccine doesn't prevent all infections and infectiousness that it doesn't prevent some infections and infectiousness. generally speaking the infection rate of a virus is low. as an example and hypothetically speaking for any virus one person will infect 1.01 people Which means the virus will spread if you could lower the infectivity rate of that virus by 2% you go from having a virus that spreads to one that dies out. so if the covid vaccine could lower the infectivity rate below one it would die out. and that's the average rate so if covids infectivity rate was 1.5 and the vaccine could lower it by half the impactivity rate would be 0.75 in other words it would die out in fact if only 70% of the population got the vaccine it would still die out. (assuming those number, I'm too lazy to look up the real infectivity rate from my phone)
Familiar with that book.

It's not so black-and-white, however.

First it's based on a much older book that is essentially talking about "master-slave/master-serf" luxury and leisure of elites - 100% bullshit elitism.

Second, the reality is that civilization can not operate without a fair if not majority of jobs being shit jobs. As long as they are well-paying enough and voluntary, there's nothing wrong with that. And that cost could be being away from your family. As long as family is being provided for, I see no problems with that.

And the main reason being that simply having parents being "present" does NOT assure happy or good childhoods to your children or good relations with your spouse. There are plenty of counter examples.

The question is fully answered. Men today are no less deserving of support than anyone else. They deserve the same support that other groups have today.

If you read the article you’ll see that men do not have the same support that other groups have, and proposals to provide that support are rejected on the basis of history rather than present need.

The desire ‘not to help white men’ is explicitly mentioned.
Have you genuinely never seen people refer to, say, $10k to mean ten thousand dollars? It's very common.
My grandmother (who just passed away a few weeks ago) used to say "megabucks" a lot when talking about expensive things or rich people. I wonder if that's what she meant.
It's wildly anticompetitive.

And let's not forget that this isn't strictly about movies, but the broader concept of attention.

The giants are paying to keep attention on their platforms, and they're doing it in every vertical they can possibly enter. This makes it hard for other industries to compete for that same attention as they don't have the claws and meat hooks that the trillionaire famgopolies do.

How does MGM compete? They can't. They sell their assets on the cheap to the rich megamonopoly.
you simply and politely decline

And then the cop calls for the drug dog, and suddenly, you're dealing with a dog trained to please it's handler, which in this case means telling the cop that you have drugs in your car. And off to jail you go. As far as the cop is concerned, his thuggish behavior is now vindicated because you're a drug dealing degenerate.
sqlc is a great code generator that seems to work miracles.

It uses the official postgres parser to know all the types of your tables and queries, and can generate perfect Go structs from this.

It even knows your table and field types just from reading your migrations, tracking changes perfectly, no need to even pg_dump a schema definition.

I also found it works fine with cockroachdb.

Not true. Unity once supported their own language based on Boo, a python dialect for the .net runtime, that they falsely advertised as "Javascript". That has since been depreciated.
As an aside - for anyone working with databases in Go, check out https://pkg.go.dev/modernc.org/sqlite

It allows drop in replacement of SQLite that is in pure Go - no CGO or anything required for compilation, while still having everything implemented from SQLite.

Insert speed is a bit lacking (about ~6x slower in my experience compared to the CGO sqlite3 package), but its good enough for me.

Have you tried doing more than nothing?

On many occasions in the past, I’ve found that doing anything often works better than doing nothing, like the US usually advocates.

Turns out that there are no perfect solutions, but there are a lot of partial solutions that in aggregate add up to the mental health the rest of the developed world has.

Watchmen and Philosophy: How all ethical theories are flawed
High social cohesion will do that.
You're still playing their game, you're living your life by their rules. Once you realize there aren't any rules and "success" is being satisfied with your own life then you may begin to forge a different path. Sadly, very few people go this route, but the few I know who have are profoundly content.
This all still skirts the main issue. Why does the janitor get paid so much less for a shitty job almost no one wants to do? Why do we have damn near minimum wage construction jobs? Many jobs are important, all should be paid accordingly. Failing that, shouldn't the most labor intensive jobs therefore pay the best? The incentives are so skewed in society now. And I say that as someone who has done all kinds of crazy jobs from cushy to hell.
I agree. It's just a difference in style. I find mine is quite productive, for the way that I work.

A misconception: commenters seem to be hearing OP's message as "quit your job and work on your own for the good of humanity." He's not demanding that of you.

That would indeed get you out of the B-IC, but it's not necessary. You can gain genuine Group 1 expertise at a FAANG company (or any other). It may take years, but when you write about real lessons you've learned, that will not be bullshit.
First clean of food chunks into the bin. Then fill the tub with hot water + liquid. Then submerge plates etc. one by one while scrubbing them. When clean, put in the dish rack to dry.
As someone who managed to get more or less donation campaigns in the past, here are my 2 cents.

There's a huge difference between "please donate to our project" and "it costs us $X/month to run it, we have Y users and managed to collect $Z so far, please donate".

The first one will get you about $1 per 10K-1M users. The second one will get your goal fulfilled, as long as you are reasonable, and have enough users. All it takes is a noticeable message and a way to update it automatically based on the money received.

No child is going to be mentally scarred for seeing softcore porn or someone doing a bong rip. I don’t think there is anything that bad on TikTok that a teenager cannot handle it.

It says in the article that parents have to approve accounts for children under 18 anyways. If you let your kid on the internet without supervision they are probably going to see the worst things imaginable, thats the price of unfettered communication. Don’t let your kid on TikTok if you want to shelter them.

Often time they share an outflow with the kitchen sink, so the plumbing may not be as backed up as you imagine provided that you use the sink regularly. That said, proceed with caution.
They say to put the dirtier things at the bottom since that's where the strong jets of water come from. Then they say to put cutlery face down so it gets cleaner.

What about the other side of the cutlery? Was only one side dirty?

And then, the no-prewash directive... If you put dishes with stuck-on food into the dishwasher, there's some chance that the stuck-on food will not come off. Then that food gets baked on during the drying cycle. It may be sanitary, but it's is not something I want.

Until someone can draw the line between "some bacteria is good for you and makes you stronger" and "oh this will cause you grief or death", I still err on the side over serious pre-cleaning and then hot dishwashing.
> the absolute insanity that comes with it's build systems/third party dependency management.

Well yes, that would kill me too, if I actually expected the language to come with a single blessed dependency that addresses functionality <Foo>, that I will never want or need to patch the blessed dependency, and that there would be only one way to actually build a program or library.

But it doesn't kill me because I don't expect either of those things.

The dependency stack for my (21 year old) project consists of 86 3rd party libraries that on an x86_64 platform take up about 2GB after compilation. This is intimidating and sometimes painful, but I don't find it insane in any way. We have patches for a half-dozen of the deps that will never make it upstream and we have to be sure that we compile the libraries in the precise way that we need them (for example, we require the thread-safe version of libfftw, not the regular version).

* Running simulators for screenshot testing

I wasn't there, but this gives me the feeling that stalking your Facebook might not be the only way for them to infer this, especially if you've ever been stopped before this.

That aside, I hope your family member was okay.

It is not the case that you can be lawfully arrested simply for failing to comply with any given command given by an officer. See, for instance, the last 10 years of case law regarding people recording the police despite their urgent demands that they stop.

It's fair to point out that the police can arrest you unlawfully, and that's a real risk you run when saying "no" to them. But it's important to know that saying "no" to a request for your Twitter account name is legally very safe, and that the police would be way out over their skis arresting you for doing that.

Being detained for questioning is not a big deal, but being arrested is a very big deal, and it does not happen as casually as message boards think it does. If the police routinely arrest people without lawful cause, there are consequences (though they aren't the consequences any of us would hope there'd be).
Andrew, let me know if you want to try to compile the Linux kernel with zig cc. ;)
There's a lot of room between "probable cause" and "we don't like you".

They can essentially detain you for hours, unless you know the keywords and are able to ask for and actually summon legal support.
From the blog post link [1]: "This is rather powerful as it enables a strong decoupling of authentication and payment logic from application logic."
