I've caught a few of those once it's too late to reply, and I'm not sure I entirely agree with your sentiment.

Unless I'm totally out of touch, I've always seen the comment referenced as either dismissing a simple solution because a complicated one exists, and/or now having a grasp on how complicated a solution is.

1. For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. From Windows or Mac, this FTP account could be accessed through built-in software.

Most recently I referenced the comment in a discussion around Laravel Forge, which deploys and manages servers for hosting websites. I love it personally, but a friend was of the opinion that "it's unnecessary, all you have to do to setup a server is..."

I get that he was trying to be helpful with his post, but that doesn't dismiss the fact that his very first point was "You can already do this by..." and then proceeding to provide a valid, but complicated solution that very few people could do.

There's nothing wrong with his post, but it does act as a good reminder that there's room for products that provide a simple solution where only complicated options exist.
You cited a page that doesn't split it out by White Republicans or White Democrats, which is a distinction that you quoted in your comment.

> If a cop asks you to stop and the only thing that makes you stop is the threat of violence I would seriously rethink who I am and my values.

People who deliberately speed don't accept speeding tickets out of civic duty. If you accidentally went five over and are embarrassed by your mistake and want to make it right by eagerly paying the fine, good for you I guess. But if you are instead deliberately doing double the speed limit because you think it's fun and don't care about the law, you are clearly not the sort of person who is inclined to willingly accept the ticket because it's the right thing to do. If you were that sort of person, you would not have been racing your car on public streets in the first place.

There is not a country on this planet in which nobody ever chooses to willingly break the law and flagrantly act in antisocial ways. And there is not a country in this world which will not eventually resort to violence when all else fails to convince a criminal to stop committing his crime. You might be thinking that if the cops don't have guns, then what they do isn't violent. But if you think that, you're obviously wrong. Unarmed well trained police will still wrestle you to the ground when all else fails. Unarmed police officers won't shoot you for refusing to comply, but they sure as shit will manhandle you to the ground and wrestle you into handcuffs. That is violence, and the implicit threat of that violence is used to convince people to go along with them peacefully in a dignified fashion.
Natural immunity doesn’t only last 6 months. Where did you get that?

I’m coming out of my second COVID infection now. Long story short, I was in the local hospital and the fact that this was my second infection caused a really big hubbub in the COVID ward and a nurse told me I was the first reinfection she has seen.
When Joe Rogan said he had taken ivermectin as part of his Covid treatment, NPR put out a tweet saying he took "a deworming drug for cows that the FDA warns people should not ingest." It's a dishonest propaganda outfit funded by money from billionaire foundations.
> Do you also have to review the proof checking code to make sure you didn't make any errors in transcription from the original paper?

The point of the checked proof is that your final theorem is almost definitely correct (you did not make mistakes in your deductions, unless the proof checker has a serious bug) if you can convince computer it derives from your axioms.

You can convince humans without your proof being correct thought, because they might not spot an error.
I think lots of physicists have a tendency to outrightly reject interpretations which seemingly put humans and other "conscious"(whatever that means) entities on a higher pedestal . It is most probably due to their general dislike of advocation of humans being a superior being than other "animals" by religious organisations, which does inculcate some unhealthy arrogance in people.

But i think physicists need to open up a little more. If QBism or other interpretations where reality is subjective were really true, it would probably lead to some "we got it right initially" by some religious organisations, but honestly, that shouldn't stop physicists from pursuing such theories. I think it can be a win-win scenario in the end.

good question!

At 200 per hour each customer paid 18 seconds in salary. At 15 usd/h that is 7.5 cent.

You could double the salary and half the load and pay 30 cents per customer.

i wouldnt care. on 50 usd average order its nothing
There are two alternatives here:
a. This is art, in which case this is maybe ok?
b. This is not art and people buy NFTs only with expectation that it will go up... In other words pure speculation.

I think majority of the NFTs are b, but people pretend it's a for complex reasons. The rest of NFTs are jokes/memes.
Interesting that yesterday's submission of this got buried. Let me repeat and elaborate because it's somewhat close to my heart.

> I plan to focus on the high‑quality desktop instead of finding a mediocre middle ground between desktop and mobile.

Oh god damn it. This space is severely under-served. It's only filled by Xamarin Forms, React Native (kinda), Flutter and web. They all kind of suck for desktop apps.

It doesn't even have to do both well. It just has to be a great experience on one platform and an okay one on others. Phone apps can be good desktop apps with minimal modification (as Apple realizes 5 years after Microsoft almost did) and not many things are worse than happening to use one platform and your data/functionality just not being available on it.

Stop it, please. Smartphones are computers. They're used for the same things and increasingly so. Stop pretending they're fundamentally different. They're not.

Guess why the Web is eating everything. It's WORA. And there's close to no competition.

> Umm, yes, there were no APIs before the 2000s. Even ignoring non-web APIs there were plenty of pre-SOAP attempts at APIs on the web. XML-RPC was created in 1998 and is the direct predecessor to SOAP.

They didn't say SOAP was the first. They said APIs have been around for a long time, and brought up an older method that's probably relatable for many as an "old" attempt.

> I'm not sure I should really put much trust in a blog post by an author that doesn't even know his own Twitter handle.

Understanding of APIs and ability to avoid typos are likely extremely unrelated.
It depends on the situation. I have been approached by cops twice--and had no problem with talking to them.

The first case involved a detective investigating an accusation by someone we knew against someone else we knew. There was no suggestion we were anything but observers, no reason not to talk.

The second time was out at a trailhead, I had just finished a hike. They were working with search & rescue extracting someone who broke a bone. They correctly deduced where I had been and came over and asked about the snow conditions high on the mountain. In hindsight I was a little annoyed at how they asked it as I responded a bit too literally--addressing the snow conditions but forgetting the three trees that had fallen across the trail, one of which would have been a substantial obstacle to a stretcher evacuation.

That's incorrect, natural immunity will last many years. Your antibody levels do go down but your body remembers how to make more. Vaccine immunity does seem to need booster shots.
this is because it is not a cause and effect thing like you’re trying to read it as here; the author simply wrote the book when those were contemporary circumstances, even if they had been worse before

meanwhile the book’s words about what happened to those children are a fiction hinting at the truth of the loss of a child and are more symbolic than literal documentary words
Yes, it's common for better designs to come along after insight has been gained by trial and error.
Let's say you are a criminal with $1M to launder. You create an NFT and sell it to you buddy for $1M. Hopefully your buddy is also a criminal mastermind* that already did some laundering, so it's not inconceivable that s/he has a legit looking $1M to spend. Now your buddy doesn't actually send you the cash, instead you deposit the $1M in ill-gotten goods you had laying around. Now you have a legitimate $1M in income to cover the illegal gains.

Don't try this at home. I'm sure there are probably some gotchas in the above scheme.

* Actually if you just find a legitimate rich person with low morals, they probably wouldn't mind participating for the usual launderer's fee.
Note that chips and fabs here don't necessarily refer to high end CPUs ... this is more to revive the electronic industry ... there are a lot of every day chips for electronic goods that India imports from abroad, and they want to cut down on this, and compete with China and others, by developing their own electronic supply chain.

Yup. I don't get the argument 'well every store already records you.' Well, that's different, I'm in their store. If I let people into my home, or go to the urinal, I have an expectation of privacy unless the guy next to me is pointing his phone down or camera down awkwardly. With glasses, I don't know who is recording what or when.

This isn't a 'i dont want people to watch me pee' argument, that was just an example. I don't want to be recorded when I have an expectation of privacy - full stop.
you're not supposed to say that.
you're also not supposed to report why that is.
> Are proof checkers much more complicated than LaTeX?

In terms of lines of code, no. In terms of the learning curve, yes -- latex does a very good job of getting out of the way and letting a mathematician just write in English, where proof assistants require rigid structure that doesn't remotely resemble how (most) mathematicians think.
In terms of runtime, oh my god, get out of town.

Rather than workarounds, it is preferable to have media on The Internet free by default, since there are so many workarounds for people who don't want to pay a cent for anything on the web. Yes, news outlets need to make money, but there are other ways of doing that instead of relying on 'paywalls'. Why not the sponsored articles route (providing you let your readers know for sure it's sponsored)?

Accessibility. Outside of that everything seems reasonable. But I don't know much about cross-platforms GUI. I expect someone will come and explain that Delphi or something like that already does everything the author wants except for the integration with Clojure.

I would add that I'm not sure which value Clojure provides here. Does the REPL adds anything to the live-reload environment? If not, the choice of Clojure seems to be arbitrary.

What Makes the Delta Covid-19 Variant So Dreadfully Successful?
I don’t understand why these aren’t programmed with rolling buffers like dashcams. Often I want to capture something that already happened, not something that is about to happen.
The part I find most interesting is that (as I understand the article), Freedman's proof relies on a meta-proof that details not worked out in the base proof could be ignored:

"But there were places where he couldn’t quite complete the picture — as if he were creating a portrait and there were some aspects of his subject’s face he couldn’t see. His last move, then, was to prove that those gaps in his picture — the places he couldn’t see — didn’t matter from the standpoint of the type of equivalence he was after. That is, the gaps in the picture could not possibly prevent the Casson handle from being homeomorphic to the disc, no matter what they contained."
I think this will be quite similar to non-EU business that do not have an actual legal foothold in the EU: nothing happens (because what actually could?).

I am actually surprised by some US businesses (local newspapers for instance) that make the effort to use GDPR cookies instead of not giving, as you say, a fuck.
Good to see the CEI continues to shill for big oil, doing whatever they can to undermine any attempt to address climate change. Right on brand for those monsters. Kinda funny given the likes of Exxon had to stop funding them. But, I'm sure they've still got plenty of folks in the coal industry and so forth keeping them afloat.

Given that article was back in 2019 I wonder what misinformation they're spreading now. Checking, I see they've made the pivot to "kfine, I guess climate change is real, but it's nbd! Also government still bad!"

> In fact, climate change does not endanger the survival of civilization or the habitability of the planet. So-called climate solutions are bureaucratic power grabs and corporate welfare schemes with no detectable climate-related benefits.
The article makes a pretty specific argument as to why those things are different.
Thanks. When people say they use Docker, there seems to be several different ways. Are you using Docker Desktop (Mac/Linux?), docker-compose, Podman, or something else?
You're confusing statistics with events.

Superpositions are statistical distributions. Only statistics are wholly predictable. Individual events are wholly unpredictable.

You can have two statistical views of the same experiment in which each individual event is different but the statistics agree.

You can have a distribution of views in which events are somewhat different to varying degrees and the statistics still agree.

Each view will experience itself as unique in specifics while agreeing that the distribution of events is identical.

That doesn't solve the problem.

It's hard to get random processes to define an identical distribution without having classical mechanics as a foundation.

Basic QM hand-waves this away with "Here's some math that defines the distribution and..." But that's like "Starting with this universe we can..."

It so happens that the statistics correlate spatially with various field potentials. Which is interesting, but... Why is there a distribution at all? Why are there creation/destruction operators? Where does the "code" that defines this mechanism live? How do particles know they should follow it?

Do particles even exist, or are they just something random and constrained a field does every so often? How do fields know the physical configuration of an experiment has changed and sometimes that information appears to travel FTL? (Even though it can't be used for signalling.)

How does a particle keep track of how many other entities it's entangled with and in what ways? Where does that information live? (Bell suggests it's not inside the particle itself. So where is it?)

Is all of this shaped by some kind of hidden causal propagation mechanism which also defines how relativity works?

And so on. A complete explanation would answer all of these questions - and others - with ease. Clearly we're nowhere near that.

Look: this shouldn't be a surprise. Your body only has 6 months of natural immunity to the flu. Some viruses (Flu, COVID19, etc. etc.) just don't have long-lasting immunity from. We all were hoping for the best, but the numbers are in and they're not very good for natural immunity.

The purpose of the GPLv3 was to address the "tivo" clause, where a vendor sells you a device with some modified GPL preloaded software included. You can request the software under GPL, but if you can't load it on the device then the FSF feels that's not very good.

So GPLv3 bans that. That, by itself, is inherently an additional restriction not allowed by GPLv2. They don't need to go out of their way or have a conspiracy to deliberately make it incompatible. Especially since the GPL2, as distributed and suggested, includes the "or later" text which resolves this incompatibility to allow GPL3 software to use GPL2 code. If anything, this encourages GPL2+ as the default GPL license if maximum compatibility is your goal.

Others (e.g. Linus), are more focused on getting the code changes so if they want to use them in the original project they can, and don't feel being able to install it on the device it was built for is as high up on the priority list.

No, because there were other variables with the banking crises that occurred in the gold era (which, incidentally, was nonetheless the greatest era of economic growth in human history).

You cannot simply extrapolate directly from that era to today in the way you are trying to. The situation is different.

Anyway, why do you want to defend dishonest money that funds generational theft and international unjust war? Like, the banking crises of the gold era are MUCH better than the massive evils perpetrated by the modern US federal government. Why are you defending that? What solution do you propose to ending US money hegemony over the world? Or do you support that? I mean, are you like, F those children in the middle east, let's send more of our boys to be cannon fodder, etc.? Do you LIKE letting the big banks steal the country's wealth?
