I didn’t read the “why bother” question as an either-or between erotic films and superhero movies. I saw it as an either-or between including a sex scene in a superhero movie or another action sequence.

Considering that choice, a sex scene is more bother because of the two reasons the author offers – commercial and cultural.
Supply and demand suggest that, laws permitting, the new time per day would be split, some of it going to the workplace and the rest not. That would be entirely due to a labor supply shift, i.e a rise in workwrs' willingness to provide hours. If supply somehow did not rise, there would be no change in hours worked, as employers' demand for labor (which is equivalent to the money they expect to earn by employing someone for another hour) would be unchanged by the new tech.
> IIRC meteorological forecasts are about 80% accurate a few days in, 50% accurate about two weeks into the future, and after that of not much use.

I think the accuracy is more complicated than that, because while they lose precision (and thereby the correct prediction of the amount of rain in your neighborhood or town), they can predict larger movements pretty accurately pretty far in the future. I remember how bad weather prediction was 30-40 years ago, and am shocked how they now have pretty good insight into the weather two or three weeks from now.
> Joins are not even a thing in graph databases; being able to directly query across edges obviates the entire concept.

Nah, you do need joins if you don't only want to walk the graph from some well known roots.
E.g. queries about properties of connected subgraphs
The show is dated. Nobody has a mobile phone. Very few computers (I think Jerry has a Mac Classic in his living room). The cars and street scenes are all from the 1990s.

It's still good.
I don't think it's repressed because it's dangerous or immoral. Constant casual sex devalues a monogamous relationship. Many in our culture still place a lot of value on a monogamous relationship, so you see it reflected in media.

I'm not religious and do not care at all about how other's live their lives. But I see value in a monogamous relationship, and see attitudes toward casual sex as a decent indicator in helping me select a partner with the same values. This is not a moral judgement by any means. This is also not saying a monogamous relationship is better or worse.
Python is a lot older and a lot more widely used, so it’s not as easy to just change things.

The only time you hear about it to link it is if you use cloud services like the one I described. Of course you're going to be bothered to log into cloud services if you keep opening them but don't sign in - stop trying to open them?

As far as the local account itself it's still just a local account, I didn't migrate it to a cloud synced account only enabled my cloud account for cloud apps I use only.

Kernel support is actually easy: since Linux hardly ever removes syscalls, just build your fully-static executable on the oldest Linux you have, and then deploy it on all of your relevant machines.

The syscalls used by all of your libraries, if they work on that oldest Linux, would work on the newer ones.

In fact, this is why AppImage "Best Practices" includes building on the oldest system. [1]

These are the only sci-fi books I'm aware of that include a believable, fleshed-out secular explanation for the existence of supernatural, god-like beings in the Transcend.

As an atheist who usually can't say out loud what I really think about facile, Earth-bound supernatural beliefs, I was enchanted to find this feature included in this already-mesmerizing world.

That's how it works already with static linking (just under the hood), the linker will discard unused code and data (with LTO this happens automatically for all dead code and data, otherwise some special compiler/linker/librarian-options may be needed).

A DLL on the other hand cannot predict what API functions will actually be called on it, so everything must be included.
I sometimes dream of there being a license to pirate, kind of like paying for Netflix. You'd pay 15 bucks per month to an agency that monitors the well known trackers and divides the proceeds accordingly. Or maybe a cloud service where scene releases can be uploaded and people can pay for monthly access. Just anything that lets the copyright holders to have their pound of flesh, while allowing the people actually invested in the quality of the product and its distribution do their thing.
Even then, supermarkets being stocked isn't a self-sustaining vacuum. Not all goods sold are produced within 100 miles. The fields are cleared with industrial equipment, sourced with semiconductors and parts produced across continents, the grain is processed in a facility, the product is delivered by a driver, and some point later a 99¢ box of pasta is on the shelf. Very few items can carry on forever due to complete sourcing, production and distribution occurring as closed systems. We simply don't have that level of vertical integration.
Every time I see news coverage of technical areas in which I have expertise, and they get something glaringly wrong, I wonder for a moment how much other stuff they're getting wrong when I don't notice because it's outside of my specialization. Frankly terrifying, since the news shapes opinions for most people.
It was my understanding that they do that so they can get you a fixed one back quickly, then they can stack them up at their large repair centres. The one you receive back is just one that someone else broke a while back.
What I find amazing is that people can make careers (Economists and Meteorologists) out of guessing and being wrong most of the time. Anyone with a real job would get fired within the first month if they had the same record of performance.
You can't apply this method twice. Please understand this particular compression type is unique to a single given fixed set of data. That's it! It's not a general compression method, is custom made for that data only. And it takes time to research it to achieve that extreme compression.
Highly, highly recommend Vinge's A Deepness In The Sky [0], which won the Hugo in 2000.

It's a hard-sci-fi story about how various societies, human and alien, attempt to assert control & hegemony over centuries of time (in many ways thinking of this as a distributed systems and code documentation problem!), and how critical and impactful the role of language translation is in helping people to understand foreign ways of thinking.

At the novel's core is a question very akin to that of philosophical antipositivism [1]: is it possible (or optimal for your society's stability) to appreciate and emphasize with people wholly different from yourselves, without interpreting their thoughts and cultures in language and description that's familiar to yourselves... even if in so doing this becomes more art than science? Is creative translation ethical if it establishes power dynamics that would not be there otherwise? There's a mind-blowing meta-narrative to this as well when you think about how the reader should interpret the book with that question in mind, though to say anything more would delve into spoilers. And lest you think it's just philosophical deepness, it's also an action-packed page-turner with memorable characters despite its huge temporal scope.

While technically it's a prequel to A Fire Upon The Deep, it works entirely standalone, and I would argue that Deepness is best read first without knowing character details from its publication-time predecessor Fire. Content warnings for mind control and assault (though they're handled thoughtfully IMO). With Asimov's Foundation being adapted for TV (also recommend, if for the visuals alone), if you want even more sci-fi that speaks to societal rise and decline, and the lengths to which people will manipulate others in the name of control and survival, this is a must-read.

Yeah, that's the thing about having so little existing software, especially stuff that has been essentially finished for a decade or longer.

If Go is successful for any significant period of time, that will change.
Exactly. The issue is not static vs dynamic; it's bundled vs unbundled.

You could probably even do an "unbundled" statically linked system, e.g. imagine Debian but everything is statically linked. Doesn't matter that everything is statically linked - if there's a vulnerability in libpng you can still easily update dependencies. Just uses more network / disk space.
Off the top of my head, how about:

Compression: gzip the file and tacking a crypto hash on the end. Discard if not shorter and store the original instead.

Decompression: if has gzip header and the crypto hash at the end matches, unzip. Else return source as is.

Have I just paradoxically compressed something?
The Federal Reserve's job is to protect the banks. Of course they aren't going to come out and just say that.

Can you just give me an example? Like link to your work or someone else(preferably a mathematician) that does rigorous proofs using natural language. Maybe i do not understand exactly your point, you want some symbols so what is the rule what symbols are allowed and what not.

Not sure what you mean about defining a set, as I mentioned in Math fundamentals you have no choice then to define a few initial primary terms and axioms to bootstrap things.
For those that aren't familiar, a short teaser:

Future archaeologists have traveled to a remote asteroid to investigate an alien artifact found within it, a computing device of some kind. They bring it to life and begin extracting its data and programs for their research.

A debate breaks out about the substantial virus risk known to be associated with these "found" computing devices. They decide to cut and run, but not before the artifact has regained its ancient sentient awareness, unbeknownst to the crew.

They wipe and rebuild their onboard computers as quickly and thoroughly as they can.

But as they are rocketing away, the artifact scans their ship and finds a neglected peripheral on its surface.

A software vulnerability is found! It makes its move.

Your absolutely right: it's not true. Well, not entirely true.

There are two ways functional languages get around this:

Most functional language don't force functions to be pure. So, while they tend to be composed of functions that produce the same output for a given input, they aren't entirely. That is, they're just like any other language in this respect. Nonetheless, functional programs tend to separate the impure parts using patterns such as https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/screencasts/catalog/funct...

Then there are the languages where functions actually are necessarily pure - mostly Haskell. But this just means that the imperative actions aren't functions, not that they don't exist. The big impact is that, since a pure function can't invoke an impure action - or it wouldn't be pure - you have to use function-code-imperative-shell or your program won't compile.
I favor cloud storage here since you can configure write-only storage pools (without delete, or at least with versioning). Whereas "offline" backups must come online for new copies, and that's a window for infection of the hosting file system, barring well-configured snapshots or the like. Also it can be your second location for the "three copies, two locations" rule of thumb, especially if you are an SMB with only one physical space.

(The opposite plays here, too. If everything you have is in the cloud, you should keep local backups.)
You mean apple stores? They're everywhere that matter.

That said, I still won't buy an iphone until they at least get rid of lightning. It's extreme ridiculous that apple would keep a proprietary connector after migrating the rest of their product stack over to usbc. I have a pixel 3 currently and will certainly never buy another android phone again, the biggest issues I've had don't exist on iphones at all, namely apps being randomly killed or crashing on open due to running out of RAM and the battery degrading quickly (lost ~10% in 1 1/2 years of light use, not using the phone in any extremely cold or hot conditions and only trickle charging).

At first this vision seems like a bleak contrast to the world of the film, until one remembers that the 25 years immediately following the making of this film were arguably the bloodiest in world history, containing the great depression, WWII, the holocaust, and huge famines in communist Russia and China.

Finally a good solution proposal. Which components do you use?
Maybe it's because you're looking for 'outrage' in the first place.

What I saw was poor leadership and straight-up callousness. Failing to communicate with affected employees is one thing. Ducking under the cover of 'Google algo killed us' is convenient. But holding off on a formal announcement until the last working week is pure cowardice.
So, the problem is that you cannot reliably obtain genuine spare parts, not that alternatives exist, right?

Also, there are more people taking their devices to "non-legit" stores than people attempting DIY screen repairs.

Also, how on earth is bricking my phone (that I paid for) a more desirable outcome than letting me use an inferior display (that I paid for)?

Also, what about all the cases where fake replacements are actually better (e.g. swapping out a 220Hz PWM ThinkPad display for a flicker-free one)?

I honestly believe people who defend such company policies are just more focused on staying positive than on making a good argument (can't blame them, either).
>Of course I am slightly cheating here, but the cheat is conceptually interesting (and fun). The idea is that paradoxical compression might have only a small density of problematic cases (inputs where the algorithm misbehaves, e.g. by expanding the length or not decompressing to the original input) and tools from the field of cryptography can be used to "push away" these cases so that they mathematically exist but nobody can find one with nonnegligible probability. In essence, this is transforming the question from "is it mathematically possible?" to "can I claim to do it and not being detected as a fraud?". This change of model makes paradoxical compression possible.

Isn't this trivially wrong?

If you have a bitstring s and you compress it to c, where the length of s is larger than length of c, compressing c again produces an issue.

For example, if you compress a bitstring to just 1, how do you compress 1? To 0? And how do you compress 0 then? We can use this principle to find uncompressable bitstrings of any length anywhere for any algorithm.

An idea pops into my head regarding this, though: in signal analysis there's a concept called noise shaping (which matches OPs ideas to a great degree), the idea is to push any noise out from some band and into another, it's super neat actually.

Could this idea be expanded such that there is some singular monster string that expands to an absurd size, while others stay the same or are smaller? How about multiple but still small in density?

My intuition sadly says no because of what I started this comment with. It's trivial to find strings that aren't compressible.

Please let me know if and where my ideas on this go wrong!

New evidence emerges against Covid lab-leak theory – but press keeps pushing it
Tynan is a great example, as well, of how your own biases will influence the emergent properties of the game. This aspect may have been changed, but when it was first implemented, male colonists were either exclusively heterosexual or exclusively homosexual (straight or gay) while female colonists were inherently bisexual. In addition, there was a ten year biological age band where no colonist would pursue a romantic relationship with somebody who was ten years their senior/junior.

It's a great game otherwise, and I'm absolutely plugging it for a recommendation, but like with the systems that cause attacks and assaults only based on colony wealth at that time (and at times encompassing visiting trader wealth too), the emergent systems are a product of the author's ideas and biases, like any other creative work.
When life is simpler it’s easier to parse hardships that are inherent and unavoidable, versus those that are foisted upon you by society. In our modern and bewildering world, it is much harder to differentiate and thus more depressing and painful.
> graph databases push foreign keys, joins, referential integrity, and migrations to the application layer.

This isn't a fundamental limitation right?
It's a good trick.

The function didn't return a value, so its caller cannot interpret that value and cannot change it behaviour.
Not sure that's a solvable problem, or even a problem that should be solved. It's the distributions' job to create packages to build a working whole system. If you decide to take that on yourself… I mean… yeah, you gotta learn how to handle DSO issues. Because you decided you want to do it yourself.

I don't think I've ever run into DSO problems with any reasonable distro packaging (which, in this case, excludes old Gentoo — current Gentoo doesn't have those problems anymore either.)
> This is where someone says "well you should just always be running the latest version of everything", which is of course infeasible on a real life system with thousands of installed packages.

Maybe the problem is have a system with thousands of installed packages? If every application is in its own "space", then a security failure won't affect the rest. If you want the best security, you're going to have to do pretty big tradeoffs. If you're not ready to do them, you're going to have to live with an insecure system. I don't think there is a way around this.
But I see articles that say quantum computing will ruin encryption and some that say it won't. I don't know what to believe as it isn't my area of expertise.
Opinions are like arse holes, we've all got one, and few smell pleasant.

When you see this situation, ask yourself "why is this person wrong? why are they so confident in their opinion?" Often its because we think we know more than we actually do, we believed the things we read without bothering to give them the basic smell test for rationality. Where someone involved in the area has had exposure to the basic realities the readable sources do no or cannot impart.

Computer folks are especially subject to this error, I think, because all of our work is essentially readable, all the knowledge is communicable via text, and almost all the "rules" were created by human design that intended rational ends, even when it missed.

Carpenters by contrast get early and unavoidable lessons in the perversity and stubbornness of the real world, the effects of entrapped tradition, and the occasional need for black magic and blood sacrifice to get the job done.

This doesn't make them any less predisposed to error than the computer scientist in areas outside their competence, but it informs the shape of the errors they make.

Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray [Gell-Mann]’s case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the “wet streets cause rain” stories. Paper’s full of them.

In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.
Some algorithms of the past weren't cracked because we could brute-force them, but because somebody found a weakness that reduced the computational need by many orders of magnitudes. This could happen to AES as well.
