If you accept this as dogma ("always") then the reasoning becomes circular.

Overuse is then "proof" of the person's underlying problems.

That seems too reductive. Find me a person without "emotional / psychiatric problems"(!)

Substance use is multi-faceted. It can be modulated by availability (cost being a factor), social acceptability, religion, personal biology (eg alcohol intolerance), emotional state, age, physical addiction, history/habit, availability of substitutes (e.g. availability of heroin will tend to suppress use of krokodil), social supports and more.

To this way of thinking there was widespread heroin use among GIs in Vietnam because it was socially acceptable in context, widely available, people were bored, their usual social and emotional supports were not present, and for some, trauma.

You can change any of the factors above and that will influence how people use.

I vote completely progressive, but I agree there are demons on the left, just like on the right. The point at which common sense flies out the window and emotion becomes the driving force, it's extremism or cultism, not politics.
Main problem that I have seen, is that new programmers jump on a lot of the higher level abstractions, mainly just because they can. It winds up obscuring more than it helps. Worse, it often locks them in to particular abstractions that aren't a good direction for where things are going.
Since getting into F# as a hobbyist, it's put me off doing C# professionally. Makes doing C# for typical business dev seem like walking through treacle.

There can be a lot to learn, which is a mix of functional programming stuff (recursion-first, immutability, and getting used to type definitions and function signatures), and F#-specifics like computation expressions, active patterns and quotations.

There will be many better examples than mine, but here's some more F# cellular automata stuff from last year's Advent of Code (spoiler alert):

Yeah the problem is the “anti-consumer” hyperbole. For some people it’s just not for them, doesn’t line up with what they want from a device. I’m not sure why that needs to be anything more than preference.

Agreed, wasn't too excited about it as a prospect because of reports like that, but now it'll be even harder to test for myself, and if it turns out to have _some_ use case, it's another generation before consumer grade stuff can benefit from it. Completely off my radar now.

A technical definition of discrimination such as "never consider X" is deceptively simple. In practice humans are tribal and the biggest tribes have sometimes subtle advantages. Attempts to balance the scales may themselves fit a technical definition of discrimination, but without them human nature tends to grind down members of smaller tribes.
The technical issue is that the center rear view mirror cannot see below the bottom of the rear windshield. And so small children, perhaps on bikes etc, aren't visible in the mirrors.

It it possible to mitigate this by visually checking that blindspot before you get in the car, and keeping aware to make sure nothing sneaks into it while you're getting in? Sure, just like it is also possible to backup with no mirrors whatsoever by getting out of the vehicle and surveying your surroundings.

But on the whole, enough people don't do this that backup accidents are indeed an issue.

What my neck really wants is an auxiliary backup camera that you can stick on a towed trailer.

Xolair is omalizumab. it is however a very specific mab, an anti-IgE, not many others are helpful.

Is there more technical info? They are making nitric acid, that is less efficient than making ammonia, but there are almost no details or cost comparison.
And it can't ever be accurate. Thing is, how drunk you're going to get within some time frame depends on what (and how much) you're eating, and whether your stomach had some food in it before you started drinking. If there's stuff in your stomach, its sphincter is closed while it's digesting it. Stomach itself absorbs alcohol (and nutrients) much slower than the intestine.

TL;DR: don't rely on this calculator to determine if you're too hammered to drive. If there's any doubt whatsoever, call an Uber or use public transportation.

Says who? The whole bruhaha in the San Bernardino case was that Apple would not create a custom version of iOS that would bypass the passcode system. If what you say is true, the FBI could've just compelled them to hand over the root CA for signing iOS builds, built a custom iOS iPSW that's pre-jailbroken (as was a thing in the years before the bootrom became more locked down), and been done.
Downvotes start to happen before my excuse. I've payed with karma and got an answer. Thanks for your human feedback.
Good question. 3kg of hydrogen makes about 17kg of ammonia. One bushel of corn requires about 0.8 pounds of ammonia.

A bushel of corn weighs about 56 pounds and a pound of corn has about 1566 kilocalories.

Grey hydrogen is about $2/kg (more in Europe right now, about $5/kg not counting CO2 tax), and green hydrogen is about $3-6/kg, depending on your electricity costs.

So one kg of hydrogen produces about 1,367,000 kilocalories, or about 683 days’ worth if you ate just 2000kilocalories of field corn per day. :) A price difference of $1-4/kg for hydrogen means
less than 1¢/day… of course that’s only if you eat just corn at the bottom of the food chain and use efficient agricultural practices… also, everyone gets a cut on the way…
I've heard reports of orangutans learning how to fish with a spear by observing humans.

I wonder sometimes if we could teach them to make bread or baked plantains or something, idk, and then have that habit passed on to their offspring.

The sticking point could be fire, seems rather hard to make, and even worse - maintain, without all the convenient tools we have today.
That is a gross medical crime.
Good advice. I used to be very careful to be "un-spooky" as a manager.

That said, nothing beats a good track record. If I don't have a reputation for stabbing people in the back, throwing employees under the bus, being rude, inconsiderate, and obnoxious, then I'll likely be a lot less scary to my employees, even when I have to withhold information, or toe stupid corporate lines.

A lot of folks think that kindness and empathy are interpreted as weakness, and, in some cases, this is true, but, in the aggregate, it's entirely possible to be quite authoritative, respected, and obeyed, while also being kind, honest, and sympathetic. At least, this was the case for me. YMMV.

The worst sort of business is one that grows rapidly, requires significant capital to engender the growth, and then earns little or no money. Think airlines. Here a durable competitive advantage has proven elusive ever since the days of the Wright Brothers. Indeed, if a farsighted capitalist had been present at Kitty Hawk, he would have done his successors a huge favor by shooting Orville down.

It is not my responsibility to disprove that replacing the screen is some sort of anti-nation-state thing. It's their job to prove that.

The obvious and most direct answer is this is being used to prevent repair by all the phone repair companies that have popped up. They now want a cut, and have enforced a serial-number-on-a-chip that kills a whole industry.

It depends on the implementation. In traditional ARC implementations these are all issues to a degree, but even then they tend toward much lower overhead with more predictable behavior. Though I agree tracing GCs can be really fast and better in many ways.

1. I'm guessing you mean lock based implementations? There's several non lock, non atomics based ARC designs that still handle threading safely. That means it's little more than a single integer operation.

2. True, but for many contexts this is easy to do and makes it easier to understand data flows. In other cases it's possible to use index based references pretty readily, like in Rust. Or add a cycle collector.

3. In theory you can't, but in practice it's often pretty easy to tell. At least in non-oop languages. I use Nim with its ARC (1) on RTOS and this is really only a concern for large lists or large dynamic structures. It can be managed using the same patterns as RAII where you call child functions who know they won't be the last ones holding the bag. Also you can use the same trick as some Rust code does where you pass the memory to another thread to dispose of (2).

4/5. It depends on the implementation, but you can use pools or arenas or other options. Nim provides an allocator algorithm (tlsf) with proven O(1) times and known fragmentation properties (3). Still tracing gcs can make better usage of short lifetime arenas true. Though with ARC you get similar benefits using stack based objects.

6. It's tradeoffs. Tracing gcs also end up needing to scan the entire heap every so often. ARC's only need to check a root object during usage and only access the entire graph when de-allocating.

Your last point isn't accurate, as you can use an appropriately designed ARC in a hard realtime context. I've found it quite easy to do, but granted it takes a little bit of care, but any real time systems do. For items like interrupt handlers I ensure no memory is allocated or destroyed.

I don't think they were comparing today's standard of living in the US to that in Rome, just saying that people misrepresent poverty, and that poverty is crushing for a human being.

I do think the fact that you decided to counter and declare that the US meets the incredibly low bar of "better living conditions than ancient Rome" is an interesting point to reflect on, and probably relates to the previous poster's point.
From my point of view I believe I can be trusted to reset my Apple ID quickly. I'm very security conscious which is why unlocking my Apple ID does not unlock 'everything about me'. As I mentioned in a previous reply, I get it now... if you did trust Apple with everything about yourself, you would see the delay as reasonable security.

However, I just don't trust Apple that much because they are at the end of the day a huge corporation that couldn't give a monkey's if my data was compromised. I'm a little guy and Apple isn't going to apologise or make it right if something catastrophic happened. The Fappening is case and point. These celebrities trusted Apple and completely outsourced their security only to find their privacy violated in shocking horror.

So, I understand where you're coming from, but it's a step too far for me.

Healthy people that beat cancer 5 times and 20 other aliments and croak at 90 are really expensive. Not just in terms of healthcare they consume but social benefits like social security, assisted living, etc.

An obese person dying of a heart attach in their mid-50’s is a net positive to society since they have consumed limited health resources, collected few social benefits, and have contributed many social dollars.

Smokers die young before they collect most social benefits, plus they pay so many taxes. Smokers are a net benefit to society much like lotto players.
Yeah I felt bad for writing the comment a while back “if you want a big vacation just take time off between jobs” and then I realised in the US that means you’d probably have no health insurance for that time.

I saw another comment saying you need more than 10M to be truly financially independent in case you get sick … to a single person!
Yeah but could you program in rust?

I haven't been following the Alder Lake situation too closely, but AVX512 is really multiple things that ought to have been orthogonal: (1) 512-bit vectors, (2) a much cleaner vector instruction set, (3) masked vector instructions.

It's mildly understandable that Intel didn't want to implement (1) on the E cores (though it would arguably have been better to just dual-issue them, like AMD did for 256-bit vectors on the original Zens). But there's no reason not to implement (2) and (3) on the E cores.

Perhaps somebody will clarify that (2) and (3) are available on Alder Lake, that would take a lot of the hurt out of this announcement, but it does sound like they're not -- and that's a major bummer.
A lot of people who have iPhones indeed have lower budgets. They got their phones as hand-me-downs or secondhand.

This is only possible because of the durability of iPhones.

It is in apple’s interests to extend the life of iPhones and not to make money on repairs, because it translates into more users for their services.
I don't think they ban you for chargebacks, similar to how they don't ban you for PayPal claims (which I've used several times), unless there is an unusual amount of them or other such circumstances.

They just deduct it from the seller (along with a dispute fee, depending on circumstances).
I wonder how it plays with React(Native)/Redux. I'm having a bottleneck issue with state changes with many state comparisons and wondering if I can swap the builtin diff with this to speed up the diffs.

Well, Helion did just get $500M in funding, and is very close to that design space.

I have doubts about Helion being able to do it, but if I had to invest in fusion it would be them (and just possibly Zap). Going beyond DT and recovering energy electromagnetically addresses the engineering/economic showstoppers that make things like tokamaks burning DT seem like a dead end.

But dying before you collect social benefits is. Plus you have to consider the additional taxes smokers pay. In the end on average smokers are a net benefit to society financially.

Different login mechanisms have different trade-offs. A big advantage of FaceID (or TouchId) is that it isn’t vulnerable to shoulder-surfers. This is especially important on a mobile device that you unlock in public all the time.

For example, if I’m riding in a train I feel a lot more comfortable unlocking my MacBook with TouchID than typing my password for all to see.
There is actually He3 in natural helium. They can buy helium, separate out the bit they need, and sell the rest on to people who have no use for the He3.

The relative abundance of He3 is, numerically, really quite small (WP says 0.000137%, or 1 He3 per 730k He4 atoms), but that doesn't matter as much as you might think: they don't need much. Process a ton of helium, get 1.03g of He3. But it also says it is 70 to 242 parts per billion, which is a lot smaller than the other, 1370 ppb figure.

It may be cheaper to get it from used-up tritium, from people who are finished with it because it has decayed too much. In fact the US DOE does sell He3 they have extracted from tired-out stocks held ready to inject into bombs before they are sent out to use. The DOE makes its (fresh) tritium by irradiating lithium, but it starts decaying immediately, with a half-life of ~12 years, and the bombs want it fairly fresh.

These FRC reactors generate their own tritium, which is a problem, because when those fuse you get hot neutrons you don't want, and gamma rays. When you use FRC for propulsion, you can expel the tritium as reaction mass, but that doesn't work so well on the ground. On the other hand, lots of shielding is cheap on (under) the ground. But they don't make enough of it to use, and anyway who wants to bank it for years while it decays?
I wonder how profitable.

There is a town in SW Ontario, Canada, named Tillsonburg. Up until the 80's, every other farm was a tobacco company, earning the nickname Tobaccoburg.

Even Stompin' Tom Connors wrote this song about working in Tillsonburg's tobacco fields: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YouShACK-H4
(Also, what a lucky URL. They rarely spell actual words.)

Since the 90's, you can drive throughout the town and surrounding area and find it very hard to find a tobacco field anywhere. You still see a lot of the old-style kilns, rarely ever a modern one, and they're nearly always in fields growing anything but tobacco.

Even when there were tobacco fields everywhere, tobacco farmers highly relied on Jamaicans coming in through the Farm Labour Pool in order to make the season profitable. There were farms that didn't use the labour pool, but they were few and far between.
I think SPJ is using a slightly different definition of safe than Rust does! But Rust should definitely be a bit up his safeness scale, but not all the way, doesn't fully control all effects.

In Australia we are emerging from lockdown to 80% - 90% double vaccination rate.

Hopefully this means a return to something like normal life.

That's got me thinking - societal change represents opportunity.

I wonder what new economic niches are now available with this return?

I wonder what economic niches were perhaps abandoned during pandemic and are now available to new entrants.
