> The simpler explanation is that people who spend all of their time passively consuming rewarding activities (junk food, TV shows, Twitter, Reddit, porn) are getting terrible nutrition, very little physical activity, and no real social exposure. They're also piping a constant stream of negative news and unhealthy debates into their eyes and ears.

That's not the simpler explanation at all; that's actually a 2nd and 3rd order explanation backed up by nothing but conjecture. The reward center and the pleasure center are separate; this is why people can get addicted to video games they hate, or they can doomscroll all day not really enjoy it, yet be unable to stop. Activities designed to spike dopamine as high as possible and far beyond anything seen in our evolutionary history cannot be taken lightly. It's silly to think that a healthy, active person is immune to addiction. Porn, junk food, twitter are all just socially acceptable, mild addictions, and just like any behavioral addiction like gambling, they are all driven by dopamine. Will you next tell gamblers they're fine, they just need to eat better and hit the gym?
However this argument can be made for so many things. Even just the tall person in front of you argument, what if the movie (about lottery for example) was so moving to such a person it would have changed their life, bought a lottery ticket and gotten rich, is the person justified to kill the tall person for potentially stealing their livelihood? Joking aside, I can think of a million examples, each more comical and absurd than the last
> You're pretending like non-free software has no value

I'm not saying it has no value or that it should all go away. I'm saying that its value doesn't come from being non-free, so it would be better if it had to be free instead.
"We can colonize the centre of Australia. There just isn't a reason to do so."

Also, you drive through a lot of less arid farm land before you get anywhere near desert. Including past dying country towns (many below the Goyder Line). We could increase the density of rural properties (from large farms down to farmlets, etc) or do more to boost living in fading townships well before there was any reason to make the desert more habitable.
Just so. Yet, if there is interest in adding enough information to classes to support compile-time enforcement of interface requirements, ABCs to the rescue!
The catch is getting a mortgage. It does cost less to build, unless it's not in the standard building codes. It's not. So to legally build it and live in it, you need a structural engineer to draw up the plans and get a county building department to OK the engineer's plans. Also, all the regular trades aren't familiar with it, and give higher "nervous" quotes, if they give any at all. It's just faster and cheaper to build something the building trades call a "shit box". Everyone is familiar with it. Building departments and contractors are ok with it, and most importantly, you can get a mortgage on it.
Thanks for the input! Ya, we are already working on getting featured items onto the main page to make it more obvious that its a shopping site and that you can search for the thing you're looking for. We will also look into adding a location filter right up front on the main page for users who specifically want to shop locally. Very small team at the moment, so changes take time, but we'll get there!

How does the M1 compare to this Intel chip or the AMD chips it's being compared too? My understanding is they are still quite a bit slower.
The strangers are outside my home, and your suggestion is to leave my home to confront them? With lethal force?

That is crazy to me. Truly insane. If they tried to enter my home or harm my loved ones, that’s a different story. But if I saw people destroying my property, not attempting to get to me, I would call the police and lock the doors, not go fucking hunting.
I still remember the day I learned how to animate text in the status bar. I felt like being a wizard!
Yes I agree. We get sometimes trapped in fixing well working but awkwardly written features, when the very well written initial assumptions just slow any change much much more visibly, which could actually be fixed by ... a badly written rushed silly code and multiply dev productivity.

So in a way the beauty of the implementation matter a lot less than its ability to change quickly which sounds obvious said like that.

Maybe "technical rent" would be a better term, as it implies a recurring cost that's paid to keep something that's already been built. Managers already grasp recurring software costs.

You said the situations weren't analogous. I'm saying they are, because firing an unvaccinated remote worker doesn't make anyone else any safer than firing an obese remote worker does.
it also has to have any market depth at that price - you can drop the BTC price $3,000 by selling $1m worth just lately, imagine having to cash out $1b "worth" into actual money

not to mention the US miners who have a "stockpile" of $1b of BTC, apparently for every possible reason other than "actual-dollar liquidity doesn't exist to sell it without crashing the price"
I would argue most jobs are moving to be more generalist. The jobs where you need a deep knowledge of a singular topic to push human knowledge are quite rare (especially in a fast moving industry like tech). Rather it is more common to be expected to be able to respond to a large variety of scenarios and be able to provide an acceptable solutions to be able to move on with the project. Most problems don't require the deep understanding, just the smart application of current knowledge and someone who knows where to start.
> Other teams use a folder structure to maintain separate projects for each environment. They copy and edit code between projects to make changes across environments.

if i'm reading this right, they're not saying different folders with only the diffs (config files, test classes, dummy data, etc) but actually full-on copies of the whole entire project?
At no time since the tulip bubble has the phrase "past returns are not indicative of future performance" been more relevant.
I think this is a distinction between traditional software and safety critical software. The minimum viable quality is much lower for the former. The expectation in the latter is that it has gone through rigorous quality checks to reduce uncertainty. This is distinct from the ability to be updated, as both types should have the capacity for updates.
Yes. The bar for sentience is quite low. It only means that one is capable of feeling sensations. (For example, Wikipedia gives the definition, "Sentience is the capacity to experience feelings and sensations.")
Random thought: Give every child one as a pet so they get emotionally attached and over time, society will grow to associate these creatures as man's friend.
As a Norwegian expat in Melbourne since early 2000s I'd somewhat equal the DSE experience to Frithjof Arngren in Norway in the late 70s/80s (for any Norwegians lurking around here).

I never got to Arngen's stores, if any, but those printed catalogues were truly amazing experiences of full on geek.

And no, asking someone to run a $1 server to get around it is not sufficient either. Why would you think a PaaS app would need a dedicated DNS server? Defeats the purpose.
Something similar holds for Theranos: if people had done their homework instead of throwing insane amounts of money at this without any skepticism at all due to fear-of-missing-out then there would have been a much more quiet ending to that story. And in a way this is probably Holmes' best defense against the shareholder claims (of course, she still did lie to them): none of them did their part.

When there is a transaction of this magnitude, normally both parties have duties: the one party has a duty to inform, the other party has a duty to investigate. Here both parties failed, not just one.
Inline C/ASM is literally a different language. System.Runtime.Intrinsics is a library. Just because this one benchmark used the library in a C-like style doesn't mean that's required.

There are many simpler implementations in all languages. I actually like that there are multiple implementations, as this lets us estimate the benefit and complexity of adopting various optimizations. Limiting the benchmark to naive implementations would penalize languages with more broad capabilities for optimization.

I'd personally prefer a benchmark limited to memory-safe implementations, though.

CGIProxy was the start of a prolonged cat-and-mouse game between the IT staff and a group of students at my school. It started with finding public hosts ("inurl:nph-proxy.cgi"), and quickly evolved to self-hosting CGIProxy on custom domains/ports. Portable Firefox could be used to sidestep some of the filtering software, until they started auto-closing any window with "Firefox" in the title and .exes called firefox.exe (both of which could also be worked around). It culminated in them creating their own domain admin account so they could disable most of the blocking/monitoring software (the main domain admin's account password being "school" made this _much_ easier than it should have been).

They only got caught because one of them was logged as using a USB drive called "<surname>'s USB" while logged in the domain admin account, which served as an interesting lesson in OPSEC.
We seem to have no problem droning and bombing children when we want to change the subject as politicians. Many of us even campaign, donate and vote for such political leadership. Some of these politicians even get the Nobel Peace Prize.

One of those politicians who was a Nobel Peace Prize recipient even bombed another Nobel Peace Prize recipient.

None of this is even science fiction.

I would have hoped it was clear from the P.P.S. that I was working on a fix for the hosting situation.

Of course the routing to my website was broken, and needed a fix.

But if the routing to my website is broken, Chrome clearly should not choose present the broken URL to the user as the location of my website.

You cannot ensure every domain on the internet remains working at all times. But you can ensure your browser will not trick you into sharing a broken domain with others, by falsely presenting it as working to you.
Yes, we were surprised as well, but since they didn't seem interested in building it, we started building one! ;)

> If you want to stand your ground, its usually better to give nothing, even if you feel like you haven't explained well, or in an online discussion, if you feel like your counterpart has "won" by getting the last comment in.

Why would you want to stand your ground? Isn’t the point of a discussion to learn new information and reach new conclusions?

I don’t think that seeing discussions as a battle to be won is typically a good framework. Even if you reach the point that you consider winning, it is unlikely that much has been accomplished.
For my very first interview I was told “write something in php” so I put together a few scripts to parse templated txt files into html and made a little baby version of a cms. Wasn’t exactly scalable or ground breaking but I thought it was cool. But the engineer that interviewed me was like so this imports text files and it took you all afternoon to build it? …didn’t get that job.

So the next one was pretty similar “hey use this language called Sikuli to build something.” Now, I’d never heard of Sikuli but it was basically python so I built a little app that, based on the screen, could offer up context sensitive hotkey chains…kind of like a baby version of Alfred that literally only worked with Microsoft office. But the guy thought it was cool and hired me anyway :)

Went from working in a gas station over night to working in my kitchen or the coffee shop. I thought it was sooooo cool
I wonder whether you could approach the startup hub or one of the coworking spaces there and see if they’re keen on putting some space aside for it? Occupancy is waaay down and will probably stay that way for quite a while.

Actually, I could probably have a conversation with the space I’m in - if you wanted to reach out to me?
> cutting out 80% of the desktop market share

From my experience paying for desktop software is more common in the Mac world than on Windows, so if you're making a paid app you can actually end up better off going Mac-only despite technically cutting out 80% of potential customers.
That's the site! Unfortunately I don't see Covergirl, Maybelline, etc. I will keep looking
You’re right, but I’d wager that 70+% of truck buyers have never used any considerable amount of the payload capacity and don’t tow anything that a crossover SUV couldn’t tow.
> [because languages] do everything both low-level and high-level together

This is very far from true. Like, not even the tiniest bit true.

It is easy to program in C++ or Rust and pay no attention at all to where allocations happen. Almost all application-level coding in those languages is written exactly that way. Even in programs where such attention is needed, the overwhelming bulk of the program, such as all the initialization and setup code, gets away with completely ignoring allocation. Certain libraries whose value proposition includes having been heavily optimized need to pay attention to memory placement, but probably more than half of libraries would only ever be used in places where performance doesn't matter at all, and the author knew it.

Anyplace where you do need to pay attention to details of allocation, or of atomic event ordering, or of interrupt context, you are not obliged to use every last bit of abstraction your language enables. It is totally allowed to drop to a C level of specification. (In Rust you might even put some of it in "unsafe" blocks.)

Rust and C++ do impose inconveniences for various reasons -- C++ mainly because of backward compatibility, Rust mainly for extra static enforcement -- but the inconveniences are completely unrelated to the occasional need to pay attention to memory placement.

Where existing languages do still demand low-level attention is in obliging the programmer to be aware of control flow, and what thread is executing which bit of code. They are only starting to loosen that. It used to be that you didn't care because there was only one thread. Then, we made threads, but not too many, because of numerous costs. Now, we would mostly like our programs to use as many threads, scheduled any which way, as would be useful.
Unfortunately, it has been weaponized (especially on-line) for a long enough period that many people will not give the benefit of doubt. And frankly, unless they really want your compassion or understanding they have no incentive or any obligation to. Except for very well moderated forums and positive company cultures, it seems like that's where we are. One on one things stil seem much better.
Most in America? Shrug, maybe.

In many other parts of the world, someone having a weapon out is not sufficient evidence to show that they were going to murder you in 2 seconds unless you did it first. Even if they seemed angry and threatening. A threat of violence is not violence, a weapon is not violence, and an unstable person is not violence, and even violence doesn't justify killing unless that violence was life threatening.

That's the difference. The question here isn't about what they could in theory do. If you're going to kill someone in self defense, you'd better have very convincing evidence or other means to show that they were in fact about to kill you. Without signs of struggle, that evidence can be quite hard to procure.

So what do you do in this situation? If you can run, you run. If someone chases you with a knife and you can't outrun them, that's already much better for your self defense claim than if you just decided to shoot them the moment you got scared.. If you can fight or shoot back, you don't have to kill them, just respond enough to fend off the immediate threat. If you're not good enough with guns to make a non-lethal disarming shot, then I don't recommend bringing a gun (not that it'd be legal here anyway, guns are for sport and hunting). Your self defense can be regarded as exaggerated even if you didn't intend it that way. So if you accidentally make a lethal shot or accidentally punch someone to death, you're on the hook for it.
Nah, just a guy joking to show he’s drunk lol
Why are not all animals recognised as such under that law?
Insulin from animals have not been used for human injections in like 4 decades. We use synthetic insulin-like proteins these days. And they are produced typically by modified e-coli.

This product does not produce insulin, like other insulin pumps it contains a reservoir of it.
I once broke the "DRM" of a site which displayed images by downloading them obfuscated and using a big blob of JS to unfsck them and display them on a canvas. Grabbing the image should be easy, no? Just use `.toDataURL()`, right? Well, this site deleted all the methods on the canvas object which could be used to grab the image data, and then `.freeze()` (or maybe it was `.seal()`, this was a while ago) to prevent the method being added back in.

In the end I said 'fuck it' and made a patched firefox build in a VM with freeze and/or seal disabled completely, then a small jetpack addon (remember them?) to unfsck the canvas element and grab them images.
The idea is to downregulate the receptors. Of course this doesn't happen quickly; see my other comment ITT

Foxes were introduced to Australia for sport hunting, not to control the rabbit population. The presence of rabbits likely helped foxes spread across Australia.

Tangentially related: I would love a brilliant game dev to replace my hierarchical folder view with a recursive / graphical overview that lets me see the summarized structure/relations of an application (or set of services?).

Seems like leveraging our spatial system to communicate locality and purpose while hiding the innards would be very beneficial. I don't think you'd need to go full-on graphical programming language to achieve it either.

We don't generally use harvested insulin anymore. The vast majority of insulin uses recombinant production (modify yeast and bacteria to produce insulin). So, no, it doesn't "take the sacrifice of many animals to satisfy the diabetic." Also, as a personal note who's spouse has both types of diabetes, "famine food" does not work for all diabetics, and is considered dangerous quakery by a lot of people.
You can do the same thing in Java, but apparently no one wrote it yet because it's just a silly micro-benchmark. Either way I'd rather see idiomatic code. Or just write C/C++ directly.

I think one is conflating superset/subset privilege granting. Humans, a subset of things with backbones, are given the privilege of describing what is considered something capable of feeling and then extended it to all creatures with a backbone. This does not mean they've extended the privilege of labeling to all things with a backbone, only that they've ascribed a certain label to all things with a backbone. Similarly, humans labeling certain non-backboned creatures in this way does not ascribe those creatures the privilege of being considered human.

Yes brain drain is an issue but quite a different one to the sustainability issues of global overpopulation. Its complex but I do think allowing people to study and work overseas does come back as a net benefit. Your doctor story can fall at a few hurdles - maybe they can't get the training at home, maybe they would turn to another industry just to get a reasonable salary if thats the option, maybe even if they can study overseas and return they don't have the opportunities to practice in their home country. I've seen all of these happen.
