Of the anti-covid-vaxxers who I know, the main point is "I resent being forced to do anything".

I can get that. I opted out of the x-ray scanners at the airport for years. I resented being "forced" into something that I found offensively intrusive into my privacy - of course, my Republican family members said "You're not being forced into anything, no one is holding a gun to your head. You could take the train if you really objected that much"*. But I opted out for years and took the plane. Now that they've improved the security of those machines, I begrudgingly go through them. But I get the sentiment; I took quiet solitude in my resistance to something that felt that it was being forced upon me. My grandparents refused* to wear seat belts their entire lives, because they refused to be forced to do so. Despite it being a good idea, and they acknowledged it was good, they still wouldn't do so because that would be complicity in the over-reach of the government.

Of the anti-covid-vaxxers I know, this is the main point. They're not taking alternative medicines, they're taking their chances. They're willing to die to prove a point - the point being that they can't be forced to take the vaccine. And if you ask me, it's a stupid point. Stupid point because you can only die to make a point once, and there are much more meaningful hills to die on.

Edit: Typos and added the story about seat belts.
I think what they mean is that they want the file on disk to be uncompressed but the file in memory to be compressed.
There's no difference in how many times the predicate is called or with which elements.
I find your take on this very strange. Given that, again, Coinbase themselves called this "a flaw in Coinbase’s SMS Account Recovery process", it would be bizarre that this was just "standard" run-of-the-mill SIM-swapping, because of course SIM-swapping is always an inherent danger with SMS 2 factor.

Coinbase is very clear in the breach notification that attackers had already acquired users' (a) emails, (b) passwords, and importantly (c) already have access to the users' primary email accounts. At that point, the only thing left preventing account takeover would be the 2FA challenge, and since Coinbase said there was "a flaw in Coinbase’s SMS Account Recovery process" I find it a bizarre conclusion to think that flaw was just a standard SIM-swap.

Edit: Actually, pretty positive it was not just a standard SIM-swap given that, if it were, Coinbase would not have specifically called out "a flaw in Coinbase’s SMS Account Recovery process". If it were just normal SIM-swapping bad guys would have just used that to defeat 2FA during the login process - there would have been no need for them to mess with the account recovery process. That's actually not that uncommon a bug, where 2FA works great to protect login, but there is an oversight that makes it not required during the account recovery process (by definition you're letting people into an account during the recovery process even if they're missing one of their authentication methods) that makes the whole 2FA moot.
Black powder won't detonate by it's nature, it just deflagrates, burns real fast. Those cartridges can hold a lot of pressure, only something with a higher explosive velocity like nitroglycerin or TNT can fragment them.
> If you granted me ownership of the account and then denied me access, I could take you to court. Stock ownership is a legal agreement.

Legal agreements can take many forms, and the legal agreement for the account says no withdrawals ever. When you have ownership of a share of stock, you're also denied access to the underlying assets. If you buy one share of Microsoft, can you take them to court to demand access to that share's worth of assets?
> What I said was, if a system of government allows one group of people to turn another group of people into slaves, then it isn't a democracy. By my definition, a democracy does not allow slavery, because a democracy must treat all citizens equally.

Your 'definition' here doesn't coincide with reality, where a group may easily be oppressed by the majority. The fact that the example is at the most extreme does not invalidate that. Democracy does not require any sort of protections for those it is governing, just that they have a vote.

> To me it's more than that. It's a principle of governance. Not just the how of the system, but the why.

But it's not that. The principles you are ascribing to democracy are neither unique to nor a requirement for democracy. In fact quite frequently they are not. That is my point, people keep conflating democracy with these qualities that it does not possess. Advocate for those principles, not democracy.
I'd say this is very thoughtful and rational, and if I was the owner of the site in question, I would be thankful for poweruser comments.

I thought these viruses had reservoirs in common farm animals and that's why they were so hard to eradicate. Is there reason to believe they've disappeared from those populations as well?
Uhm, no they're not. Many countries are struggling to acquire vaccines even today as they waste away in the US.
Of course; as Larry Wall said, doing a sequential search over the keys of a hash table is like clubbing someone to death with a loaded Uzi.

Yes: oops. Linear programming as constraint solving. Thanks!

I have not actually done any ladder logic; it seemed to be like flow charts or network transaction diagrams...

I should not post so much when tired. But your great comments got me thinking about all of the ways that we approach programming in non-lexical ways, be that with a graphical formal analysis like Yourdon/Coad or (shudder) Rational Rose, or more direct translation like (ouch) UML, or just wireframes and story boards when hashing things out with a client.

Perhaps all of that is wildly off-topic; they all distill down into written code, usually in one of the "7 ur-languages".

Yeah like I said, I could see it going either way. I think your response would be reasonable, and I would be on board with it. I've never been in charge of an open source community so it's hard to say exactly what I'd do, but you're right that typically these kinds of decisions persist in perpetuity. With that in mind I'd be more likely to have a conversation, so long as the person can demonstrate that they understand why those jokes can't be tolerated.
Ah, so as long as optimize is 2 or less you should get tail call recursion. I found when I tried it (several years ago) the default was debug optimize.

I wonder if different installs (or perhaps it's Slime) sets this value to different levels.

Something to bear in mind anyway..
I've passed beyond skeptical of smart contracts that try to apply to real life to a concern that much more real contract law needs to apply to smart contracts.

Ethereum is already full of fun stories where "smart" contracts did extremely dumb things because they took a programmer's word extremely literally rather than a programmer's intent.

In a world where programmers are assumed to be ordinary, fallible humans that's a ton of pressure to put on a programmer to never make a single mistake. While there's a lot of active research into trying to bring technical solutions to that human problem such as strict "formal proofs" and such of the programs being made into smart contracts, I'm increasingly of the opinion that would benefit them the most would be political and sociological solutions such as classics like "courts of appeals", "trials by jury of peers" to determine intent over literal substance, and so forth.

Those aren't "fun, technical" solutions, and would require placing trust again in institutions and people, so I absolutely have zero optimism that any smart contracts system would embrace them. I just think that they need such political structures to exist otherwise you left with merely a lowest common denominator tyranny of software bugs (no matter how formally the best contracts mathematically prove their claims/efforts).
Okay, that sounds great. I'm going to continue to do things that include but aren't limited to using a phone and human speech to better understand the situation.

I think we'll both be in pretty good shape!

My intuition tells me that if an asset class rises steadily (albeit with volatility) for 10+ Years the majority of investors would be in profit. Anecdotes aside. Do you have data that suggests otherwise? I would be surprised if you did.
even so, incarceration makes servicing recurring payments much harder, not to mention bail... So (cynically speaking) it's even better because if you are rich you're likely to have your credit unhurt by going to jail.
How do you quantify the carbon load for takeout food?

I think the difference for me is the extent to which transactions are traceable, revertable, and regulated. The median reaction to theft in the cryptocurrency world is somewhere between "caveat emptor" and "ha ha, buddy, you fucked up".

For traditional finance, it's pretty different. E.g., "If fraudulent electronic withdrawals are made from your bank or credit union account but your ATM or debit card is not lost or stolen, you are not liable if you write to let the bank or credit union know about the error within 60 days of when they send you the account statement showing the fraudulent withdrawals." https://ovc.ojp.gov/sites/g/files/xyckuh226/files/media/docu...

True, but the size of quantum computers setups have not decreased appreciably in 30 years, unlike the rapid linear size decrease of classical computers as they transitioned from vacuum tubes to transistors to semiconductors. Never mind the cooling requirements and vibration isolation needed by quantum computers.

If the author isn't actually present (which, as far as I can tell, they are not) it just clutters up the comments. There's no actual discussion happening here, just a lot of "wow i sure don't like this thing [website] does" and that doesn't provide very much value at all.
The Moon Is Leaving Us
ya know, he didn't even answer a really simple question, "how does Grey Poupon compare to French Dijon mustards?"

he didn't whip out the GP when he was tasting the French ones, and he didn't mention Dijon when he was tasting the GP, and then he brought GP up again later and did mention it was Dijonnaise and simply said "but it's made in America". There is still a European GP being made, although it's unclear from wikipedia whether it's a Maille mustard or not, but why not grab some?

And to give French's and Gulden's thumbs up without comparing them in any meaningful way (or any way at all) to similar taste profile mustards seems basically dumb. This shouldn't have taken all summer to taste. Oh, and a mustard has the wrong texture to go in a pastrami sandwich? wtf.

as an obsessive-compulsive perfectionist autist, sorry, but this review does not cut it... it being the mustard.

> "I’ll gladly watch ... Anthony Bourdain explain the world through food"

if you pay attention to Anthony Bourdain, he rarely says anything about food beyond "oh, that's good". And some of the foods he says it about I've tried and they are not good (like when he did restaurants around NYC) but of course that's just personal taste.

He was a highly entertaining food rascal to watch and listen too, and the production values of video were quite high, and he entertained us with a lot of interesting foodie travel, but strictly about food... eh, you couldn't even hypothetically argue with him, he never said anything, and he even said he didn't want to say anything. but "oh, that's good".

(also btw, where he came up as a chef was pretty unspectacular, French brasserie food certainly is a great niche food-de-confort-wise, but pretty paint-by-number in terms of palette and technique.)

Where that is tolerated (including accepted as a fact, or put aside as a background fact), the involved societies have a much bigger problem to deal with first.

And if that fact is forced to fit into someone's mind through monstrous excuses for thought (with reference to that involving undefined association with violence), to problem (1) - the corruption in the state -, and problem (0) just above - the corruption of the members of society -, you get an even bigger damage (-1) - thought pollution, the corruption of clear cognitive function.
Given how few countries have managed to launch a successful nuclear program, in spite of the basic theory of how fission and chain reactions work being published a century ago, there must be something beyond basic follow instructions ability required. Though whether that is anything intellectual versus access to raw material and enough time to enrich it and build facilities before the US or Israel notices and blows you up isn't clear.
Oh cool, glad you were smart enough to learn rather than doubling down and getting hurt!

My version of this story is from high school chem class. Somehow a lab partner and I convinced our teacher to let us test "which gunpowder mixture burns best". This was a several week long "student run experiment" type project, culminating with presentations in class. One component of the presentations was a demo - we chose to show the difference between the worst performing mix and the best performing mix. The "slow mix" made a ton of smoke and stunk up the whole wing of the school w/ suphur. The fast mix cause enough thermal shock to shatter the crucible we used - pieces went everywhere doing a little damage to the audience even: one kid's notebook caught on fire because some of the power landed on it. Another kid had a freshly melted hole in his big pants (it was the mid 90s) - I'm glad no one was hurt. We got an A, but younger folks told me that in later years fire experiments were banned.

The only lesson I managed to learn was: It's important to do bold stuff before everyone else, because you either get to have fun or deal with the rules that the fun people caused.

I'm not sure that's a great lesson, but I have yet to see it violated.

I've been a C++ dev for longer than I care to admit. The idea that you could call the wrong function after putting "using std::string" at the top of your .cpp file doesn't reflect my experience.

You might have a point if people are putting that in header files. But even in header files, "using std::string" is often a standard thing to do in e.g. game engines. It's far easier to change out your string implementation if you're writing "string" instead of "std::string".

I have YouTube premium (freebie holdover from Google music) and I don’t trust Google here either. In fact, I would be surprised if they (or anyone else for that matter) don’t track.

I think many people and outlets have wrongly attributed paying with not tracking because we associated tracking and ads with not paying.

Really, they have very little incentive to not track, unless that’s explicitly what you’re buying.

QML was my first introduction into declarative and reactive GUI programming, and it was pretty great. It also came out 4 years before React brought the same paradigm to most front-end web developers.

I'm reading about the history of smallpox and it seems like it takes a herculean effort to actually eradicate an infectious virus from the planet.

Having been on the hiring side, most of the time it's because it's a maybe. There's probably an overqualified candidate who could work somewhere better and you.

Or in some cases, sometimes there's nobody else but you. Startups have very low application rates and often with an active hiring period, there's still nobody who qualifies for the job. Four times I've seen a company go with a "last resort" applicant after 2 months of interviewing everyone else. Come to think of it, I was actually rejected for my current job but they actually put me on file when they said they would and hired me 3 months later.

Fast, Cheap and Out of Control: A Robot Invasion of the Solar System (1989) [pdf]
I disagree with the article's conclusion. The evidence in it proves that it's better not to use the specialised functions (like any_of).

It's immediately clear to me what each of the find_if snippets does, but I haven't heard of the other functions – and the evidence from the article is that the vast majority of other programmers haven't either (in fact that's out of the subset that bother to use find_if, which I would say means even less of general coders). Sure, it's fairly obvious what they do from the name, but I'd still bother to check their signature in case there's a subtlety. In other words, there may be fewer lines of code, but it's still more cognitive overhead.

In fact I'd go one step further and say it's better to use raw primitives, like for loops (range based where appropriate), where they don't need too much extra code.

For most common-lisp implementations you can just save the current state as an executable, along with specifying an entry-point.

Obviously doing this from your dev environment is a bad idea, so most people write a script that loads the system and dumps the image. Or you can use one that someone else has already written.

Not all lisps work this way (most notably ECL does not), and you can use ASDF's program-op to create an executable directly from a package definition, which should work on any implemntation supported by ASDF.
