His explanation on Reddit:

"The way I learned how to program was by publishing one project a day that used a specific language feature I was trying to learn. No one even looked at my projects or used them until I had quite a few published. I didn't even want people to use them at that point, since I had no idea what I was doing. Then one day I realized that people were actually using some of the things I published as a learning exercise, and I started going back and fixing and improving that code. Rinse and repeat. That's pretty much all I did.

Why is the default for people to assume the worst all the time? It's depressing as hell."

If true, it's kind of sad so many people badmouth him.
Get back to work Gavin. Geez.
To me, this sends another signal. One that says "don't work at Mini".

If something like this is able to make it all the way through design, production and testing -- with no one raising a red flag along the way -- what other less visible but equally bone-headed ideas are making it into their cars?
There are none. Only one or two lab bench scale reactors at universities.

Clinton's sense of entitlement and both parties' history of not supporting the working class lost her the election.

But he isn’t paid to influence people to do anything. He’s paid to bring in eyeballs . If he’s an influencer, then anyone working in an ad-supported business is an influencer. In which case of what use is the term? Ok great, anyone supported by ads is “influencing”. What now?
I think this approach kind of has cause and effect backwards. Certainly an element of zoning laws will be driven by NIMBYism, but equally an element of zoning is needed to build functional cities.

You don’t want heavy industry to be co-located with residential areas, for no other reason than heavy industry occasionally have catastrophic accidents that destroy many square miles of buildings. You don’t want residential buildings in that blast radius.

Equally zoning laws that specify the exact type of housing in a residential area strikes me as counterproductive, and clear case of NIMBYism encoded in policy.

I am fan of planning policy that restricts building types in order to mitigate obvious health risks. And provides guidance on where commercial and residential areas are (but doesn’t introduce strict restrictions). After that I think people should be allowed to build where they want. If they want a house in the middle of a commercial district, that’s their choice. Just don’t complain about the noise.
I don't see how anybody could read this and then pretend that Assange has any chance of a fair trial in America. Not only were his communication constantly monitored for years, already a breach of client attorney privilege, the US considered flagrant assassination as a potential way to handle him.

I've heard many people say that Assange committed actual crimes and it's time for him to face the consequences of those actions. While I personally disagree about whether he's done anything illegal, even if he has it impossible for him to get a fair trial and justice to be served. Everything being done to him is an effort to get revenge on the person who embarrassed the military and intelligence communities.
The Pacific Northridge National Laboratory was able to extract uranium from seawater at $200/lb, as per the linked article. This is an order of magnitude greater than the price of conventional extraction, so it makes no sense for commercial providers. But uranium extraction amounts to a negligible fraction of the cost of nuclear power, so even if economies of scale fail to bring the price down this amounts a fraction of a cent increase in the cost per KWh. Not to mention there's at least hundreds of years worth - thousand of years if we use reprocessing - worth of conventionally accessible uranium.

> Starting with George Washington who lead an insurrection on behalf of rich slave owners (to protect slavery)

This is absolutely ahistorical. None of the planners of the revolution ever documented this as a motivation. Some were even abolitionists. The British Slavery Abolition Act wasn't until 1833 anyway. On top of that, Dunmore's Proclamation which offered freedom to loyalist slaves was almost 8 months after the war started, so that couldn't have been a motivation.

[edit] I don't have a stake in deciding which president was the worst or in defending Washington per se. I'm only addressing the particular historical claim which is pretty straightforwardly false, as far as I can tell.

[edit 2] I would challenge anyone downvoting this to find historical evidence to the contrary.
> There is always a war in every level of biology.

You assert this with no proof, when asked if you have read a book which presents a case for a different viewpoint: that there is (also) cooperation and interdependence.

It is, to me, so obviously absurd to state that humans - who invented cities, fire brigades, line dancing, and symphony orchestras - are defined by struggle and warfare. It's just nonsense. "We were born to work together like feet, hands and eyes, like the two rows of teeth, upper and lower." - Marcus Aurelius.

> There is an undeniable percentage of egotistical maniacs, psychopaths and narcissists in the human population.

True. But first of all, where do they come from? Are they born as such? And second of all, should they define our societies? There are many ways in which people, who are neither psychopaths nor narcissists, are forced to act in self-serving ways simply because there is no alternative in this culture. And there are many ways of dealing with them that do not involve building everything on mistrust.
Option #4 is just option #3 but keeping the costs of running tests you ignore.

You're right about excessive warnings, but then sometimes note. Running `gcc -Wall` used to be considered madness, and if you did it now on a codebase that has been around a while and not kept clean, you'd drown in messages. The key is to turn it on from the very start and fix things when there are 10 warnings instead of 1000.

This decay happens with test suites, too. One or two tests start to fail, and instead of fixing them, people ignore the failures. A bit later, it's five tests, then 10, and pretty soon the programmers see the tests as broken instead of looking at the failures that let things get to the point where there are so many failing tests.

There is no evidence that life has arisen more than once.
Why should I care? Does this mean that they'll make "better" decisions (better in quotes because better is subjective) than a predominantly male parliament?
Report them and send them the energy bill.
Of course "taste" does not exist if you define "superhero movies are dumb" as a value judgement that has nothing to do about taste. Simple calling it something else does not make it disappear, though.

One person likes superhero movies, the other does not. Is seems that by your worldview it will be an insurmountable barrier to forming a healthy relationship unless someone changes their mind, which seems to be a rather bleak attitude to me. Are you sure we couldn't find countless couples with different movie tastes (or movie values) who, despite this obstacle, are in happy and loving relationships?
These controls seem to be making use of the account-tagging Twitter already does, some of the particulars of which leaked out last year: https://reclaimthenet.org/twitter-panel-blacklist-search-tre...

The current filtering is crude enough. There is no common agreement on who should be filtered and in what way, but everyone using the site is subject to one undifferentiated unremovable filter, whether they're in the naughty box or just trying to read some tweets. So now you'll get to invoke The Filter yourself at will. Big deal.

I don't rate the chances that Twitter will stop making more of this lazy dumb-AI, and put the effort into filter options that treat users as responsible enough actually to control their own feed. I do hope that people developing alternative microblogging tools can learn from Twitter's example.
>> This is yet another instance of the "what is the acceptable risk for introducing a new technology" problem.

That's a strawman. Just make the company fully liable for any injuries or deaths from accidents involving their cars. The market will figure it out from there. But that's not how it's being handled at all.

I follow a lot of these practices myself for hobby code, but if I had to offer one change, it would be to use SQLite instead of the filesystem for data. It does add some complexity in languages like Go that don't "easily" link with C libraries, and you do need to remember the table schemas that you're using, but for me the benefits are worth it. I never worry about locking files, naming some key badly, or any of the other issues that come with flat file dbs.
Ok, that makes sense. I see now how package managers are an unalloyed good for someone who's mostly or entirely doing prototyping work and doesn't have to do the work to constantly keep them up to date. When you're prototyping, it makes sense to be profligate with dependencies.
>I believe there is a purpose for crypto in the backend of our financial system

That seems paradoxical to me. The power of blockchain (to me, okay, I'm no blockchain expert, I'm barely a novice) comes from the number of people publicly using your blockchain because every user added makes it that much more difficult to execute a 51%-style attack on the blockchain.

Stuffing blockchain under the rug by placing it exclusively on the back-end seems like you wouldn't actually be having people use it in a way that wouldn't be just as useful by including a hash on each transaction in your transaction DB. If we're being honest, the people "trading" cryptocurrencies on the current exchanges are antithetical to what crypto is about because they're not actually trading cryptocurrencies - they're trading the rights to the cryptocurrencies owned by the exchange. By centralizing the ownership of the cryptocurrencies to the exchanges instead of using their own wallet, they're again opening the gates further to a 51% attack.
There's plenty of room, the Mini is 56" high and 68" wide. There's space for two lights each smaller than a soda can.

The stylists and sales targets have more weight than safety-minded regulators or consumers, so the stylists can veto any changes that add a color like yellow or increase the size of the lights.
I just don’t see that as a problem. I’m not looking to date a clone of myself. That would be boring and unhealthy as I’d re-re-inforce my worst habits without any counterbalance
Cool though the development in the article is, everything I hear about space colonisation says that to make it viable you need power and physical space on a scale that isn’t significantly harmed by “just” using hydroponics and aeroponics, and the hardest problem in any case is the protein rather than the calories.

(That and Trek replicators being much to fast for any mechanism we currently know about, so think “better bread machines” until someone can demonstrate 3D printing with IDK atomic quantum holography or something).
> "The Five Love Languages" is literally trademarked.

So?

> It's a framework that's designed to sound plausible, like a horoscope. It's not designed to be accurate, it's designed to make you go, "oooooh" and repeat the trademark. "Having relationship issues? Oh, have you heard of the Love Languages®? I read about it the other day..."

That sounds like you think it was constructed in bad faith. Do you have any evidence for that?

A model that's simplified can still have value even if it doesn't perfectly fit every situation.

> If your partner doesn't want to touch you, what's the most likely explanation? That they "don't speak your love language", or that they aren't attracted to you?

I'm only passingly familiar with the love languages thing, but I think it does have a point, and I've experienced some of the differences in relationships that is schematizes. Reducing it to sexual attraction is kinda missing the point.

That’s short term thinking and a failure of government. Working WITH Snowden will benefit the country more than working against.

If it wasn’t Snowden it would have been someone else, matter if time.

Here’s what the gov should do:

1.) Pardon Snowden publicly
2.) Work with Snowden as public front, to build a better (more privacy conscious) surveillance network and win back the public’s trust

Tipping someone forces me to pay money I've already earned.

I can't be assed to set up a crypto miner on my laptop and manage the wallet and all that, it's not worth the few bucks to me.

But if it means making a livelihood to an open source developer, who collectively has hundreds of people doing this, yeah I would absolutely do that.

It also lets me support a larger number of devs. I realistically don't want to pay out $5/mo to dozens of devs. (Currently sponsor 4)

But if there's mining software that distributes profits against a pool of devs of my choosing, then sweet -- free money for them!
The article's writer agrees with Mini. After several hundred words of mockery they conclude with: "I don’t actually think the design is going to really confuse people...I don’t really think these are actually hurting anyone."
Ok, so maybe the original position you presented need to be qualified somehow, because as it was written, it sounds like you would be opposed to all coercion and feel personally responsible for stopping it, somehow. I was curious about that somehow part, that’s all.

I like TypeScript a lot more than JavaScript. Types make a language significantly easier to understand/debug in general, and you can write very functional TypeScript code with lambdas, ADTs, pattern matching (although the last 2 are ad-hoc and not quite as good as real ADTs/patterns)
You have a point, but it's not that clear cut. Large corporations are quite non-uniform and decision making is sometimes random. For example, remember YouTube Red? A quite boneheaded decision, yet I'm told there are many many good areas to work in at Google.

Indexing is no longer optional, but necessary. And once you have that, IMAP just becomes an unnecessary intermediary. Why go through IMAP when you can read the mail directly from the underlying Maildir?

* If you just want to download some mails, there is the much simpler POP3
* If you want to access your mail remotely in a convenient way, there is webmail
* If you want to do scripting, or advanced manual operations on your mail store, there are terminal tools

IMAP can do all three but is a lousy substitute and holding you back.

These are separate US based discussions about kidnapping or murdering Assange, the UC Global's actions were another one of the intelligence agencies schemes but these were separate actions.

And the article makes it sound lime the British were kept in the loop for most of it, the previous assassination allegations didn't stop extradition so I doubt these ones will.
> Please read my comments again, I never claimed it leaked from a lab.

What hell are we talking about then?

> China claims Covid started in the US, where is the evidence for that?

You bought this up not me. I personally don’t give a shit what China claims. I’ve certainly never claimed that COVID originated in US, nor supported the idea. I have no evidence, and have done no research on this claim because I think it’s completely irrelevant, why the hell do you keep putting words in mouth?

> Who is we? Is China included as well?

China can whatever the hell China wants. So no “we” does not include China, I’m only talking about us here on west. Specifically those who seemed to be determined to prove that China is guilty a crime greater than being the unlucky nation where COVID made the jump. Something that’s a naturally occurring event, which is expected to happen on a semi-regular basis. Indeed the lack of new novel virus in the 20th and 21st century is some what notable, especially when you consider how globalised we are as a species.
I added the ellipse to indicate there was more to the quote (originally, not an edit). The remainder of the quote doesn't affect the message at all. The message is that Lincoln was not ideologically for emancipation at the beginning of the war. He was pragmatic about it. All he cared about was keeping the union intact. If he could have won the war without freeing a single slave, he would have done so-- his own words.

There is nothing false in any of what I wrote. There is one thing that is controversial since he wasn't convicted, but there is a great deal of evidence supporting Reagan selling crack cocaine to fund his illegal wars and death squads.

Agree 100% with parent here. I find some of the responses interesting and I think symptomatic of the trend I've seen among the under 35 crowd.. (stay single for as long as you can, marry late, have dogs/cats in place of children..) Ultimately, you're either honorable as a person or you're not. Honor for honor's sake is reason enough.

These sorts of rationalizations against honorable behavior such as commitment are what is driving the degradation of society as we know it. These institutions have formed over hundreds (if not thousands) of years, and are ultimately present to sustain and propagate life itself.
I really don't know what hypothetical are you building there. The original posts in thread did not assumend unemployed stay at home partner.

But I think that you really need new job. Cause mine is not 8.5 hours of suckage. People on this forums are not struggling miners in bad economy having no choice but to put up with abusive boss. (And I know miner who claimed he loved his job, but that is one guy).

Anyway, if it is about insisting one has to stay at home, I don't want to be the one stay at home. Because I would not like it. And I would also feel economically in trap - dependent and helpless in case of issues.
In many regions, solar is not a viable option. The other renewables cannot compete in terms of scale. We should have been innovating in fission for the last 40 years, but we weren't. Stupid. Fusion almost seems more likely than large-scale fission growth at this point.

Your analysis is quite astute. Lisp systems became big and resource-hungry ahead of newer, more affordable, less powerful machines being able to keep up.

Lisps were developed on departmental and corporate "big iron" computers from the beginning. Initially out of necessity, because those were the only viable computers that existed. Then later out of necessity because it was the only computers on which it would run well.

Very few languages (or other software!) that were popular on expensive big iron in the 1960-1985 era transitioned into the microcomputer era with their popularity intact, or at all.

For a window of time, microcomputer enthusiasts were simply not able to make any use of the big iron software at all. Those who programmed big iron at work and micros on the side did not pass on the knowledge from the big iron side to the newcomers who only knew consumer microcomputers. They just passed on stories and folklore. You can't pass on the actual knowledge without giving people the hands-on experience. And so the microcomputer culture came up with its own now iconic software.

Today we run descendants of Unix because Unix was actually developed pretty late into that big iron era, on smaller iron hardware; like a clumsy but workable ballerina, Unix readily made the hops to workstations having a few megabytes of memory like early Suns, to microcomputers like better-equipped 386 boxes.

There are stories from the 1980's of people developing some technology using Lisp, but then crystalizing it and rewriting it in something else, like C, to actually make it run on inexpensive hardware so they could market it. CLIPS is one example of this; there are others.

I don't think that people had no cycle to spare on 286 and 386 boxes. This is not true because even some much slower languages than Lisp were used for real programming. People used programs written in BASIC on 1 MHz 8 bit micros for doing real work. By and large, most of those people had no exposure to Lisp. BASIC was slow, but it fit resource-wise. Not fitting well into the memory is the deal breaker. Performance is not always a deal-breaker.

The Ashton-Tate dBase languages were another example of slow languages, yet widely used. They ran well on business microcomputers, and carried the selling story of being domain specific languages for database programming, something tremendously useful to a business.

All that said, our thinking today shouldn't be shackled today by some historical events 1980 to 1990.
