Yes, there is a lot of research, experiments, prototyping, measuring etc to be done.

For example you can test materials for years, just put some tile outside and come back every year to see how it's weathered.

Or you can research the past. For example with timber there's so many things that need to be done that are not obvious at first. Starting from how you choose the trees and when you fell them.

It's important for climate reasons that we get better insulation for houses, or can replace concrete with other materials, but if it's done badly, it will cause those houses to be torn down after a few decades because of mold issues.
Addictive profiles was my meaning, Benzodiazepines (apparently using the abreviated form is offensive for some) making opiates look like a walk in the park when it comes to addiction.

Additionally there is a large boxy of work for prescribing Benzodiazepines to treat pain, as well as pairing the two for chronic pain, which seems to be an absolute recipie for disaster if used for anything but the shortest periods of time.
Django templates are the worst.

Django is great. Just don't use its templates or form systems. Indeed react is a great replacement for both.
This is a question that's largely impossible to answer, but there's a performance vs developer (or business) time calculation to be made.

More aptly, if one can throw another physical server at it, is it worth fixing the underlying performance issue?

Sometimes the answer is yes. If you're at a place with even a thousand physical servers running your process and you can save 2% overall performance with a rewrite, that's saving you 20 physical servers worth of performance.

But often the answer is that it's not worth it. That 2% performance increase on a set of 10 servers is not calculable, and more often even a 10% performance benefit is only noticeable on some specific task, not as a constant overhead.

On the other hand, developer time is expensive and can often be best spend on core functionality.

If Django is, let's say even 20% slower than an async framework like FastAPI, but it's going to save three developers a week of development time to implement a feature in Django, then that's probably a much cheaper solution.

I've used Django, Flask, Sanic and FastAPI[1] and today I often choose FastAPI for my projects, but I think Django is still what I'd turn to if I needed to make a full fledged web application quickly, despite its performance not being as good as FastAPI.

[1] Before I learned Django, I also used Zope, and TurboGears.
It hasn't 'broke' - the latest OS update includes functionality for macs to operate as an Airplay host and so the port they've always used for that functionality is now used by this new feature.
>But it's classic economic theory: if Intel can charge some people more for ecc, and charge other people less who don't want it, that is an optimal pricing strategy.

I did not learn enough economy in school, so is there no limit for this?

Example, I invent a medicine for a rare illness that kills 1000 people/year.
It costs me 1$ for treatment but when I want to sell this the money dudes make this calculations:

1 if we sell it with 1$ we earn 1000$/year and we have 0 deaths because all 1000 people afford it

2 if we sell it with 10$ , only 900 people aford it and we earn 9000$ and we kill 100 people with our greed

3 if we sell it with 100$ then only 100 people afford it but we earn 10000$

then the guys make a plot and find that we make more profit when we let most of our possible customer to die , but since we have shareholders and everyone wants money we doom 900 people to death so we can earn 10x more money.

There should be some limits/incentives where such immoral shit won't happen, but so far the only thing I noticed was when asshole was shamed on Twitter for some medicine price increases (I forgot the name).

This idea of a price to be the maximum number that maximizes our profit and not consider any morality is IMO evil. It also has the side effect where you get giants like Google,Facebook,MS, Apple that have too much profit that they use to do evil things, things that free market people consider wrong.
Ok I hear you, but what's the alternative? I get it, you don't trust the people who are forcing you to get the shot. But how do we avoid hospitals from overflowing? I also don't trust big-brother but so far they're the only ones giving us a working solution (vaccines).
New Rowhammer Technique
A thing that you can often see in the Netherlands is frontage roads. When a road with houses on it needs a speed upgrade, it gets split into a fast road and a parallel frontage/access/service road for access to the adjacent houses. Possibly even on both sides. This is something that was already being done way back early in the 20th century. (Edit: found a reference to the Dutch word, "ventweg" ("hawking/peddling road"), in 1923.)

It seems to me that in such cases the US tends to choose to expand into a stroad instead. Belgium also has quite a few stroad-like roads, but at least those tend to have usable sidewalks and fairly often even bicycle paths.
Maybe.

More broadly the issue here is that crabs and lobsters (and in East Asia often fish and all seafood) are sold alive because of freshness and quality considerations.

So, IMHO the only way to enforce a ban on boiling lobsters alive is to ban selling lobsters alive and to create a whole raft of requirements similar to the slaughter of animals. In the article that's the proposal:

"It recommends against ... the sale of live decapod crustaceans to untrained, non-expert handlers"

Interestingly, and maybe I'm wrong, I don't think that the sale of live animals to random people is currently banned in the UK (i.e. I can buy a live sheep if I want to, as far as I know). It's the slaughter that is controlled. If so this proposal goes further.
The more I see package systems that don't work the more I think Java from all the criticism got it right. Between always enforcing backward compatibility to being explicit about where to look for dependencies everything just works.

Of course you still have problems on how to declare those dependencies and resolve upgrades but a code you compiled 10 years ago will probably still work today. Compare that to Python or even worse nodejs and it's bonkers the amount of context you have to be aware of just to make your code that worked fine 2 years ago build again on the current tool chain.

> STL is good enough as FreeCAD doesn't know anything about the printer I'll be using or the settings I want

This is exactly how I feel about all this. Logically, 3MF is superior to STL, but emotionally the STL feels like it is about "the model" whereas 3MF feels like it is about "the print settings, with an STL model happening to be in there too".
So gaining energy efficiency by having more CPU idle time, less Memory refreshing, or if you can even bring down the clock rate is not exacly a new trade secret.

Everything about this channel is great except the way he leans into London so hard. It’s his hometown and as a life long Londoner… I get it.

Regarding downtown. You won’t find more information on that shack thing because it’s not real. Besides a couple historic floods and fires I can’t think of what he means.
I used that to make tracks with Hammerhead in the 90s. Some of my friends also did.

I was too young to club in 1997, but I knew Prodigy. The "Jungle" preset showed the secret to the some Prodigy drum sounds. Being young I was quite late in the game, and that thrashy DnB wasn't fashionable anymore (everyone was into quieter DnB around the 2000s), but our teen group loved it and it was a blast to show it to friends.

I had one of the free DAWs from the time, but one of my pals used SoundForge to put drums together. Very time consuming but to be fair I was more productive back them than now.

When I interned at a professional studio, I also used it a couple times in customer tracks that required electronic drums. We had a Roland TR-505 I think, but some customers thought it sounded too 80s for the time.

I see these as a curiosity, an interesting design study but probably not even well suited as emergency housing (we have better options for that, and likely much cheaper as well).

The dome houses linked to below are more interesting (for instance a 'normal' house inside a dome to control the environment).

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29302334

Buckminster Fuller pretty much exhaustively treated the 'dome' concept and the 1930's were open to all kinds of innovation that we consider settled knowledge now. Some of it remained, for instance large open span buildings, and Spaceframes (Octatube). But domes for everyday life are most likely not going to happen unless you're looking at space.
To me those two sound quite different.

I’d say this is a valid argument, because it shows how little someone else’s life means to many Americans.
Don't mean to be rude, but who cares? Just because someone else is doing something wrong doesn't mean you shouldn't make it right?

Also, it's worth pointing out that 3rd world countries are tired of global north hypocrits like us tech people pointing the finger at them for pollution while our european/north-american societies are the ones who fucked up everything for everyone: "we" colonized all territories, stole all resources, employed slave labor from mines to factories to sell shitty products to billions of people worldwide. And our countries are very much expected to be the least impacted by climate change, which is precisely why our governments are doing nothing about it beyond buying themselves a clean conscience by funneling public money into private pockets in "green new deal" setups. If you expect others to follow, leading by example is a pretty reasonable course of action, don't you think?

To be clear i'm not advocating to ban chinese imports overnight. But you could very well for example use the repairability index setup by the EU last year, so that only items with 10/10 scores can legally be imported and sold. And if you really wanna make a green new deal, then subsidize people buying solid materials: just because cheap/dirty stuff has been outlawed doesn't mean locally-produced alternatives are much cheaper. I'm not saying i have the best answers: there's so much we could do and the powers that be are not doing because they couldn't care less. These people are fucking psychopaths and until we start putting heads on spikes will never listen.

I found that reading something on a rainy day could be challenging depending on where I sat on the house. For a 500 euro device, I thought it was a bit of a shame.
I disagree with that. They are fine for regular forms, tables (as in grids), etc. I usually have a few views using plain old Django templates (with a couple of template tags for additional functionality), and then maybe one view with a full blown SPA in it. No need to build your login page etc in React.
Thank you for the response, so many interesting points. I’ll try to address most of those from my viewpoint, and why I think the current solutions US are attempting are not effective, but comments like this help me understand other peoples’ point of view so they are really valuable.

So here we go.

The way I think about it its perfectly fine to use a bit of force to protect yourself, a little bit of thrashing of the thief will make him reconsider their actions. What I find weird is the execution bit. We condemn public beheadings and hangings in places like Singapore, but think its totally ok if our neighbors does it? Is our neighbor wiser than a whole state + the legal system?

If you shoot him dead, first of all there is little lesson learned, as there is noone to lean from. Yeah somebody else might hear about it, but how much will it affect them? The stats from the US are quite clear that deterrence does not actually happen, and other more lenient policies can be more effective. There’s no need to reinvent the wheel just copy some of the more successful societies.

I’d imagine a thief who gets a beating, some punishment and a path of redemption will be a hugely more influential to future thiefs as it will act both as a deterrent and a guide. Being dead doesn’t seem to be teaching anyone, or at least thats what the stats show us.

You are totally right about the emotions of being mugged, or live in a house that’s been broken into. Both have happened to me (though maybe on a much lower scale than what I see is the norm in the us). But to be honest I don’t _really_ want to punish the person for that. What I want is for that to never happen to me again. Punishment is just a tool for that to happen, and I believe a very blunt and ineffective at that. I want to leave in a society where stuff like that just doesn’t happen. And we have plenty of examples of more effective solutions. I’m not aware of any state that’s “solved” it, but I think more than half of the world are “better” based on objective stats and talking to people who live in those societies (highly subjective based on my experiences).

Funny thing - where I live you are not aloud to take someone’s life even in self defense, if your home is being robbed. E.g. if you wake up to someone in your house going through your things and shoot him with your shotgun you will be charged with murder. With mitigating circumstances, but still murder. Its only when your own life is threatened are you allowed to defend yourself.

Lots of people dislike this, but its actually surprisingly safe to live here, so I guess its effective.

For example, nobody has pulled _any_ weapon on me in my entire life (35 years) and I’ve never seen a drawn gun outside of a range.

And I’m pretty happy that the chances of someone ending my life on purpose (or even accidentally) are astronomically low, I kinda like living.

Entity Resolution and the Sea
Same here. I still flock to the page every now and then and think about to give it yet another shot. But my main usecase is to develop software. I work with java, rust, ruby, JS and different other languages that needs custom treatment when doing things the nix way. Like writing a custom nix shell env file which deals with npm dependencies and the like to have all the glory deterministic package updates etc. I guess I will try it again at one point.

Here are my thoughts on this article:

>This will make it so that you can type jk instead of pressing ESC, which is much easier since they're home keys!

And now enjoy the frustration you'll feel every time you need to type 'jk'.

>t: searches for something and stops before it
>f: searches for that thing and lands on it

'unTil' and 'Find' are mnemonics that help me to remember the correct usage.

>*: search for other instances of the word under your cursor

There is also '#', but now 'n' and 'N' will be "switched around".

>Ctrl-i: jump to your previous navigation location
>Ctrl-o: jump back to where you were

I would suggest map <C-i> to <TAB> and <C-o> to <S-TAB>. This makes navigation easier.

>dd: delete the current line

Don't forget these commands (dd, cc, yy, D, C) are shortcuts and don't match to the 'language' model. Also, 'Y' doesn't work.

>Based on the type of file you're in, you might have some line drama.

':set list' can be useful in these situations.

>^B: move up a page
>Ctrl-i: jump to your previous navigation location

Inconsistent use of syntax can cause a lot of head-scratching for new users.
I’m in Milwaukee, WI. Houses in my neighborhood are a bit expensive - starting around $300k for a SFH - but you can live a very full life without a car. For myself: we have a car for visiting people outside the city and going to the lumberyard, but groceries, schools, parks, hospital, etc are all in walking distance and downtown is about 10 minutes away on the bus
> Talking about ECC specifically: ZFS does not need ECC more than any other filesystem [1]. Secondly, many Ryzen CPUs do have ECC support.

I'm talking entirely out of my rear end, but I'm curious if there is any validity to some of these projects that let you run pythonic code in the browser, either through Webassembly or brpython. For example, this projects https://github.com/stefanhoelzl/vue.py claims to let you write Vue.js in Python in the browser, which then gets turned into regular Vue.js components. I imagine a performance penalty, but a developer performance benefit of allowing something else to run on top and make a more composable experience.

Or is this barking up the wrong tree entirely?
I know, but that was correct in that reply.

Seriously, despite it being more likely for an unvaccinated person to have serious adverse effects than a vaccinated person, overall an unvaccinated person is still more likely to not have serious adverse effects than to have them. Regardless of the relative difference, the absolute odds is what the phrase is referring to.

The "odds being stacked against" something declares that one is very likely to experience an unfavorable outcome, stacked suggesting a strong disadvantage.

Again, I fully agree with all of your points, you are correct in all points except the usage of that particular phrase.
> It's not a fallacy at all, it's a concept called opportunity cost. Resources are not infinite, so we should spend them where they can have the most and best impact.

By this logic we should for example stop most of the medical treatment in highly developed countries, where only a minority of humanity lives. For every dollar we spend there on helping a single cancer patient etc. we could probably safe dozens of people elsewhere from dying or suffering due to lack of clean water, food, shelter, drugs, ...

So I wonder, what's the list of issues you think should be tackled exclusively to get the most out of our limited resources?
Looks like it isn't statically typed and doesn't even support type hints. That seems like a fairly bit mistake to me and I'm surprised to see it from the authors of Dart who went through the whole Dart 1/2 "optional type hints" to "hmm it turns out static types are actually fairly critical".

Surely better to design the language with static types than to have to awkwardly tack them on later if it gets popular?

Documentation looks excellent though! Especially the language comparison.

How do you conclude like that from the current discussion? People seem to be arguing that they should be able to own things. Not that the things should be free. Do charge me extra for that extra hardware feature, but don't do so monthly.
Benzodiazepines work on entirely different receptors than opioids. They work on GABA receptors which opioida mostly act on mu-opioid receptors. Please do not lie on the internet in order to attack people, it makes you a bad person.
Sure, but 'lobster or no lobster' and 'boiling the lobster alive or not' is an ethical question that stands on its own, there is no need to point out that there are bigger problems than that to be able to arrive at the right answer.

Usually when people make the arguments that you make it is because they are trying to justify something in their lives, not because they are so busy to solve things that are more important. In other words: unless you are working on a plan to solve world hunger/disease/whatever you probably have no excuse to also spend some cycles on the decision of whether you want your food killed in the most cruel way that you can think of or something at least a little bit more humane.

Art museums are full of paintings worth millions (or more) that sometimes don't have any significant meaning. Tons of drawings of tables full of fruit for example, looking photorealistic but nothing else.

Nobody runs around and tries to get them removed from museum just because they are in same hall as Rembrandt.
Fine, I would agree with you on much of this.

But those are different issues. And I don’t think a slippery slope argument applies as you note Intel has been pushing this stuff for a while.

So from a purely price discrimination perspective, I think this is a good thing, even if Intel are doing a lot of other shady things in parallel.
