> the guy that has been caught doctoring and falsely editing literally everything that he has produced?

I don't know what to tell you, that's a lie. Even if he had published misleading or false statements in the past, that does not imply that everything out of PV is false, as convenient as such a belief may be for supporters of the establishment.

>He's catering to an audience of hateful people that can't even eat breakfast without it being in bad faith. He is weeks away from an expose telling you that actually the confederacy landed on the moon first.

Dissent is not hateful. Leaning right is not hateful. You are stereotyping, writing off everyone on the other side based on the beliefs of an extreme minority. The same logic could be applied to the left at large and it would be just as dishonest.

>Being a contrarian fool that argues blindly without accepting or understanding reality and context is de rigueur on this website, it's disgusting

As opposed to blindly following groupthink because your "authoritative sources" have unquestioningly quoted experts with blatant political and financial conflicts of interest? Please. Tell me, where are the journalists looking into e.g. ties between pfizer and the FDA? Regulatory capture is no secret. The partisan hate that PV gets is totally unwarranted, its a cheap, straw grasping dismissal of opposition.

This leaked diary is an excellent example, by the way. Though PV did not leak the contents, someone else did, and there are images of pages detailing Ashley's potential molestation by her father. If our media had a semblance of objectivity that would be a huge story - and apparently if the FBI is raiding PV over the diary (for which there is absolutely no justification, beyond party politics), the diary must be authentic. Hunter Biden's laptop was another example of mass collusion by partisan media - regardless of how you feel about the situation, images of a presidential candidate's son smoking crack with prostitutes is huge news. PV was one of the few outlets willing to touch it.

In any case, that you may think O'Keefe is biased does not imply that he is not in fact a journalist; unless you are willing to be consistent and acknowledge that the blatant activism that has replaced journalism in mainstream media also disqualifies them from identifying as journalists. This is what dissent looks like.
Thanks for the explanation, very useful
I don't think it necessarily makes you a bad mathematician either. We all sometimes focus on a problem and start thinking inside the box whereas it has a simple out-of-the-box solution that we're missing because of our focus. Just like a novice programmer can sometimes easily spot an expert programmer's bug in a mere of minutes.
Fancy business terms that'll help you spend money consciously:

1. Return on ROI: will I use this enough to get my money back

2. BATNA: is there something I can use that is an alternative (yes, I know not exact definition)

3. Opportunity Cost: what else can I buy with this. As I am writing this comment I am thinking to myself "a croissant and latte every morning, or sushi once a week"

4. Time value of money: is this saving me enough time to be worth it
FWIW, this isn't atypical. IF in a scientific study pretty much always means some form of 24h+ fast. The more common practice of eating in a time window is usually "time-restricted eating/feeding."
Before they were illegal immigrants they were migrant workers. For years they would come across the border freely for seasonal work. The US has arable land that can produce crops that compete with crops in Central America. But the labor there is cheaper.

Seems like there's some elements similar to prohibition - the desire is strong enough to create a black market for labor and immigrants are willing to take these risks. Maybe if we permitted more seasonal ag work visas and a lower minimum wage (but still safe workplace requirements) it would be a better compromise.

It's very sad that falsehoods about the immigrants fall into racist tropes and all of a sudden we can't have a reasonable dialogue about better solutions to the problem.
The mathematics side of CS would be Gödel probably.
Before the Covid, the requirements for British visa (for those nationals who need it) were prohibitive. It was quite expensive and came with a lot of paperwork, 4-5 times over what Schengen visa application took.

I understand that UK faced great migrational pressure, but they also ended up turning away potential tourists.

Probably did not matter in 2019 when London was a tourism crown jewel. But, it probably matters now.

That and the test procedure craziness, which, granted, was relaxed about a month or so go. Afaik you had to get a test before you entered the plane and another one once you got into the UK, no matter if you were vaccinated, that was costing money (in many cases more than the plane ticket itself) plus it was adding extra stress.

We have something like that in Germany. For consumption at home, mineral water or carbonated lemonade beverages are usually available in standardized bottles [0] and bottle crates [1] (which can be conveniently stacked). The bottles can be refilled up to 50 times until they need to be taken out of the cycle.
You can usually return them at shops that sell them, even if you haven't bought them at this exact shop. There is a (small) deposit per bottle and crate that incentivizes returning them.

I've heard this cold war doom and gloom stuff way too many times. Do you have any good reason for repeating it? It sounds like the book of revelation just repackaged for boomers.
Yeah, nobody else was trying to say that some pixels in a greatly enlarged image meant anything until now. And no witnesses are there to testify to this gun being raised--small wonder, given that Zimminski is the one who fired the first shot, yet he wasn't even brought to court.

They could have brought him in to testify, but didn't. This is the same trick they pulled with Grosskreutz, where the DA ordered them not to search his phone (despite them already having a signed search warrant for it) and they did not interview his, and only his, interview with the police.

They also testified that they had never once done this before.

I encourage more people to watch the actual trial. Some news outlets, particularly CNN, have engaged in highly selective reporting that's getting called out by all the people actually watching the trial. The ABC coverage where they put on Grosskreutz, and let him contradict his sworn testimony in court, despite there being photographic proof that he lied, not to mention physical evidence that he (and not Kyle) re-racked his gun, was especially crazy.

I won't be surprised if this turns into a bunch of defamation suits in the future.

I've been a hacker long before I've become a lawyer. Started programming at 10, lived and breathed computers, grew up online.
Actually, it was hard for me to adjust to becoming a lawyer, but I succeeded somehow.

I'm a hacker by birth, life led me to law. Most of my computer geek symptoms disappeared after working as a lawyer for a couple of years. Now I'm just a lawyer who was a computer hacker in a previous life.

Can you explain in more detail? It won’t help with the technical issues I mentioned, spam is still a big challenge, and blockchains add new failure modes related to the inherent performance and reliability limits.

There is an interesting argument about micro-transactions. The practical challenge there is getting the price to be enough below the cost of credit card transactions to spur adoption, especially since the processors have plenty of margin to cut since their overhead is so much lower.

The bigger problem is one of market: beyond the questions about restricting sites to people affluent enough to pay for those micro transactions, it’s unclear how many people will actually pay as much as advertisers for most sites. This has been tried a number of times over the years but there have been relatively few successes.
Doom is also the name of the franchise, not just the original game. And this franchise is still actively developed and maintained by ID Software. The latest incarnation is from last year. So technically the headline is not wrong.

And it seems with Kevin Cloud there is someone who worked on the original Doom 1, as also the latest incarnation Doom Eternal.
Every commercial place I worked in used some sort of messenger, which was pretty useful because it is much less distracting than walking to someone's desk, and also allowed one to easily share code snippets, error messages, and so on.

Before Slack I've used XMPP, and Slack is much better because it supports mobile, does not lose messages when you go offline, and has archives with functioning search (yes, it is not great, but at least it exists...)

Cannot say anything about open source, but for commercial it is sure better than alternatives.
Wondering if anyone is in a situation similar to mine (probably not but it's worth a try):

Earlier this year I developed about 30 food allergies (IgE-mediated; I'm using the term "allergy" accurately, not in the fuzzy way we colloquially use it to refer to intolerances, etc, which are entirely different, mechanism- and prognosis-wise). This has absolutely decimated my ability to eat out at restaurants (I literally can't eat anything I don't prepare myself). Logistically it just sucks. It'll be evening after work and someone on the other side of town says "come hang out." I'd love to, but I'll have to drive home one direction, eat, then drive twice as far the other direction. With traffic it'll be 9pm before I can leave, so...yeah, not happening. It's destroyed my social life. My allergies have also affected things that are "quick" or "travel" foods, so basically I always need to heat stuff up. God it sucks.

Naturally, I've arrived at the thought of training myself to "officially" work IF into my life. Unofficially, I do it all the time by way of just...having to go somewhere unexpectedly or staying somewhere longer than I thought, and I don't have any food. About 50% of the time I feel fine and can power through, the other 50% I feel faint and hangry. Can't figure out why.

The other side of this coin, though, is that I'm trying to build muscle mass. Nuff said.

Anyone find a way to satisfy all these competing interests successfully?

Proof of Authority is extraordinarily useful but it's not inherently complex by any means (really it's just the old school consensus problems).

I'd argue though that Proof of Authority definitely is the most useful outside of Proof of Stake and the slowly maturing Proof of Useful Work consensus systems. It's simplistic but it perfectly covers the needs of a lot of government systems.

What is the SALT deduction?
Absolutely, people matter. And in case of USA government taking over the ON Semi through DPA, you will have essentially the same creed of people being appointed to run it.

This comes from an obvious fact that the prime majority of public companies in USA have boards stuffed with bankers, and asset managers, because a big portion of there are owned by bankers, and asset managers.

Most people in government service administering companies also come from exactly the same banker/asset manager background for simple lack of any others.
> Never before have I seen restaurants and hospitals requiring me to show proof of a particular medical treatment before they will serve me.

Perhaps because previously everyone (or "enough" people) were required to get particular medical treatments (i.e., vaccinations) to get into kindergarten, and that it was just assumed that 'everyone' had the vaccinations—or at least anyone who go into and graduated kindergarten. The only change is a new disease that previously did not exist so there was no vaccine for it, so we all had to get it all at once now.

Rules for my local jurisdiction:

> Unless they have a valid exemption, children who attend primary or secondary school must be immunized against: diphtheria, tetanus, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, meningitis (meningococcal disease), whooping cough (pertussis), chickenpox (varicella) – required for children born in 2010 or later.

I'm also amused by current members in the military objecting to having to get the COVID vaccine… when you had to get a whole bunch of vaccinations to join in the first place. And this is nothing new: in the US, General George Washington had mandates.

Whether or not a state and local tax deduction counts as "double taxation" depends entirely on what you mean by "double taxation".

For example, one could say that sales tax is a form of "double taxation" because you were already charged tax on your income and now you are being charged tax again when you try to spend it. Or, one could say that income tax and sales tax are two unrelated taxes, and they should not be considered "double taxation".

In the case of the SALT deduction, it depends on whether you think that states (and local governments) taxing your income is a separate tax from the federal government taxing your income, or whether you think that they overlap and should count as "double taxation".

But mostly it just depends on whether you think it benefits your political party or the other political party.
IMO the world wars proved that MAD is the only brake on open conflict.
It depends though doesn’t it?

For police, army and things like water supply, they are good.
Many (including me) argue that far more services work better when state owned, eg health, education, power, infrastructure (eg roading) and public transport.

It becomes a political argument rather fast.
Of course you dont want that... In the US, where they will sue you for looking wrong at people or they will rally up a crowd in protest...

I believe the parent is right, you couldn't hide it. Even if you succeed in building them completely stealthy, it's just a matter of time until the enemy finds out the locations using espionage or signals intelligence, and after that they will place the site unde non-stop satellite surveillance. They are massive and can't be moved, so they are sitting ducks.

As for launching, you are guaranteed to produce a thermal signature in the first few seconds of flight, since you hit the high density atmosphere at a 3-5 Km/s speed. You will leave a distinct, large and highly detectable infrared signature and the enemy will be alerted: https://youtu.be/JAczd3mt3X0?t=274

Honestly, I've had better luck on the bleeding edge. Newer Linux kernels almost always are better (and when they're not, it gets fixed quickly). Wayland is definitely better than X. Newer Gnome is better than old Gnome.

Ruby 3 and 3.1 is definitely better than 2.7. Rails 7 is way better than 6, even in alpha state. Deno is nicer than Node (although the ecosystem needs to catch up). Hell, V8 and then Node led to a boom in web technologies. In fact, I think with every language newer compilers and interpreters just keep getting better, never seen enough regressions to make me not want to upgrade.

With games, newer kernels and drivers are better. Proton Experimental has Age of Empires 4 working perfectly on Linux what, a week after release?

I really can't think of a time I wanted older technology. I just upgraded to Fedora 35, it's the best laptop experience I've ever had. Ubuntu and others have been stable and good enough, but Fedora 35 is snappy and everything works in a way that's just better. No more slow software centre. No weirdness with snaps. Quicker suspend and awake. Fingerprint sensor works out of the box. Etc...
This reddit post is such a shame, and I wish people would stop referring to it. The benchmarking code is not apples to apples at all in many places.

E.g. to benchmark removals they used `container.remove(index)` for data structures that support indices but for slotmap they used `slotmap.remove(keys[index])` which unfairly adds another layer of indirection.
I know your ID card is enough, but it's still more convenient with a passport, IMO.
> There is only one real compiler implementation

what kind of meaning of 'real' reduces the several compiler implementations to just one?

Example: I use two native code compilers (SBCL and LispWorks) on my Mac. Both are available on other platforms, too. Is one of those not 'real'?

What about, say, ECL or Allegro CL? Are they unreal?
I really like Advent of Code for that. https://adventofcode.com/
Except doing so introduces a bunch of needless programming difficulties, including but not limited to the ones discussed in this article. For example, if you make the state machines and epoll loop explicit, you don't have the function coloring problem -- all your I/O requests from state machines to the poll loop (which may or may not cross thread boundaries) are explicit synchronization points with your global business logic, which gives you fine-grained control over how your state machines handle things like request timeouts, resource quota limits, cancellations, execution suspend/resume, and so on. As another example, you're not limited to factoring your state transitions into closures. As a third example, your business logic would have global, explicit control over I/O scheduling, which greatly simplifies end-to-end QoS and request prioritization.
Why do you believe that to be true? If there are no physical ports then all data transfer and access must happen wirelessly which means there must be means to connect, and extract data wirelessly. Sure, maybe there’s a temporary reprieve until the same level of exfiltration can be done wirelessly, but it will happen. And in this future wireless-only world your data will be exfiltrated without you ever knowing about it.
