> What are they doing that’s so different from everyone else?

Erdogan thinks that high interest rates causes higher inflation, while it is generally agreed that it's the other way around, so every time that he speaks in public and says that the rates will fall (the Central Bank is nominally independent, but in practice will do what he wants) or the CB follow on his promise, the markets react accordingly. The last crash was one of such cases.

I think the official rates are about 15%, with an official inflation of 19% (in practice it's at least double, so much that when the government announced new prices for a number of taxes and fines, they were increased by more that 35%), and a Lira that lost half of its value in a years, who is going to buy Turkish currency ?
It's not a particularly obscure idiom (lots of pop culture tv shows make reference to it), and calling it "bad" makes zero sense.
In some cases A/B testing works very well and in other cases not at all.

> There’s a reason why the import duty on cheese averages 250%. They’ve got a cartel to protect from the consumer choice evils of the free market.

That's one way to choose to look at it. Protectionism has two sides. If you allow foreign imports to undercut the price of domestic goods that will filter down to the folks producing it, and hurt them too. Competition is good for the consumer but not the producer. I think we often forget that the consumer and producer and usually the same group of people.

Looks like 52% of all dairy farms in Canada are sole proprietorships. Partnerships were 23%. Another 22% were family corporations. [1]

Those folks collect more money as a result of keeping the market closed and live better as a result.

I'm generally pretty pro free-trade, except in agriculture.

If you are trying to build a dairy market that values and seeks to grow small producers then reducing competition helps achieve that as they are not necessarily competitive. You would force consolidation among independent producers by opening up the border for these ag products. I don't think industrial scale farming as a necessity is good for the animals, the farmers, the environment or the country, and I'm willing to pay more for that.

The US is a ruthless competitor and has some pretty shady agricultural practices - especially dumping corn. [2] Frankly any edge Canada is able to retain against its much larger, strong-armed neighbor to the south is likely to benefit Canadians.

> Agricultural “dumping” – the practice of exporting commodities at prices below the cost of production -- can be devastating for farmers in importing countries, especially in low-income countries with little power to use trade rules to defend their markets. It is unfair competition for producers in other exporting countries. And by encouraging overproduction in the U.S., it traps U.S. producers, too, in a never-ending need for higher yields, or bigger farms, or both. [2]

> Third, dumping creates an economic environment that undermines the realization of environmental objectives. [2]

That's not what I want. I can see your argument, too, but I do respectfully disagree.

Do we really need to genocide turkeys every year to celebrate a pockmarked holiday?

I'd say a thankful person would be eating something a bit more sustainable than a turkey that's been growth-pumped like a lab animal to epic proportions. Where's the thanks in needless slaughter of sentient beings?

Are we so daft that we express our thanks for our fortunate circumstances by causing suffering of others?

There is no such right to live without being exposed to a virus. It’a a force of nature that does not obey human rules.

The right to be able to reject or accept medical treatments on the other hand is well established and has a long history.

Still, wouldn’t call the decision stupid, just petty. The fact that some don’t want to get a vaccine has been a blessing for wannabe tyrants all over the world.
You just described my road here in Henderson County,TN. We bought 100 acres and built a dream home. In the last years (ish) 4 new single wides went in and a couple of new smaller homes. We were told during the entire build that we will never get out of it what we are putting into it and we don't care. We aren't building for resale, selling it is our kid's problem.

But there are so many abandoned places out here. People have just walked away and never looked back. We had one across the road that over the last 10 years the woods has reclaimed and unless you knew that it was there, you would drive right past it.
Still VMware. “Not Supported” in this context just means it’s not continually tested.
As mentioned elsewhere in the thread, I've had good luck with DOSBox-X. If you need specialty hardware support then you may need to look elsewhere.
Microsoft VirtualPC 2005 was pretty good, it had in-box sound and graphics drivers for Windows 9x. I'm unsure to what extent it runs on modern Windows versions though.
It's not as cursed as you might think. R's semantics are already very lisp-like under the hood.
It is significantly more expensive to put telescopes into space. And much harder to fix problems. Or upgrade. And more expensive to get the data.

There are many projects which work just fine with ground-based telescopes.

Observatories already work with nearby light sources to help lower light pollution or make it more manageable. For example, installing shields on the streetlights so the light is all directed downward, reducing sky glow.

There's already a movement to reduce existing light pollution. https://www.darksky.org/ .

The first two are not gambling. There is no mechanism where you can lose your pooled funds. Don't believe me? Read the fucking contracts. How much clearer can this be?

As for the rest of your comment, I think your diagnosis is wrong. This is purely political action, which is why so many people can't see the benefits. They think blockchain tech was supposed to clearly change what's possible - but it doesn't: instead it decentralizes it and removes the requirement of trust, which indirectly enables new possibilities. There is no current system that doesn't degrade over time due to various influences, or is immune from corruption. Blockchain based solutions don't solve the physical aspect of trust, and so would require the buy-in and cooperation of society through politics. What blockchains do is solve digital corruption and codifying rules, which changes the way people interact with systems.
As much as it has any explanation (“Generally, it is considered preferable to use the border-box model for all boxes. It makes calculating/anticipating box dimensions easier.” is about all it has, really), that’s the same old explanation that I have already offered a rebuttal to. I hold that border-box encourages layout thinking rather than content thinking, and that that’s normally a bad thing. Most of the time, border-box is making doing the wrong thing easier.

> Reverse engineering of machine code is generally forbidden except for very specific exemptions, like compatibility with other systems

Reverse engineering is generally legal in the US, except in cases where a EULA expressly forbids it. Since n64 titles are not covered by EULAs, to the best of my knowledge, reverse engineering them is perfectly legal. Distribution of such results however may not be.
For some of the other apps you might want to try pcem for more advanced and complete emulation. It takes more resources but does it at a lower level which should allow for better compatibility.

Well there was an incredible increase in the price of wood for a while there (futures tripled normal prices for a while there) from both the supply and demand side (not to mention labor and shipping concerns). If you're Ikea you can either double your prices or severely limit production.

You say "convenient scapegoat", but I think people were going to be mad about something regardless of how Ikea responded.
> You need a huge infrastructure for that. Only a Google or Facebook could possibly deliver such a competitive offering in that space. Sure, the ad ends up being the same a fair amount of the time, but dare you risk going with some Brand X ad network that can't do that?

I don't think you need that middleman. https://daringfireball.net/feeds/sponsors/ does this by selling ads directly. This also means relevant ads for users of your product and not pay cuts to middleman. But it does take more initial effort. Which you need to think about only if you make good enough user base anyways irrespective of Google ads or self managed ads.

Duckduckgo does this too. This is in the best interest of the creator and the user IMO. Don't you think?

I didn't go deep on Julia's multithreading, but what he is saying is that Julia uses an MxN threading (I think nowadays if you don't specify it at startup it will just use one for each cpu thread), which is the same as a language I did most of distributed programming (elixir/erlang), and as far as I know it's the same as Go.

Having 1 kernel thread for each CPU thread means that your program can use all available CPU threads at the same time (so you get all the parallelism available within the machine), and having a language based scheduler for each thread means you can have minimal overhead (no need to do a system call) to create a new concurrent execution (meaning lightweight/green threading similar to what python allows, except being automatically distributed by the language within all kernel/cpu threads). In Elixir this means you can create millions of processes even though the OS will only see one thread per logical cpu thread, and I never felt the limitation of this abstraction over multiprocessing (of course, Julia is definitely nowhere near as mature - and maybe never will due to stuff like preemptive scheduling and parallel garbage collection that is easier to implement in a language with only immutable types, though it seems to be moving along, and in Julia 1.7 the processes being able to move between kernel threads solving the issue mentioned in that discussion you linked).

The DB2 on the iSeries is not built from the same source code as mainframe DB2, which likewise is not built from the same source code as Linux/Windows DB2.

These may be carefully engineered to be compatible at many levels, but they are not the same thing, as Oracle might be as it is compiled for its supported platforms.
This attitude works only if your team is not toxic and others in your team are not taking credit for the work.

In my company, if I try to do a lot of work it will backfire. I will out that my work is being celebrated by some no-talent PM and promoted by my sneaky manager without my knowledge. They then bring in all the "high priority" issues from "the top" to me to fix.

I learned that those people don't understand how software is built so I'm just coasting and doing the absolute minimum. Less credit stealing and less high priority feature requests from the top.

I still get Exceeded Expectations rating every year. Because I pretend my work is so difficult and takes so much time...
Just saying that doesn't make it true through. If they ran the source code through a decompiler and then cleaned up the output, they're not using any leaked content but it's still potentially infringing on Nintendo's copyrighted source code. That's why some projects choose to make "clean room implementations".

Speakeasy
I'm not actually seeing how this helps decentralization.

At some point if you're a rich-enough party you can just take over these networks with enough money and resources. There aren't that many mining pools for BTC, and the distribution of ownership of most coins still follows a power law. These systems don't really do anything to discourage that.

Also you talk about the benefits of decentralization as if they were more important than the gains you get from centralized systems. They're generally not, except for fringe cases. For the most part I want a centralized system with someone to blame/sue who can use one big database to make my transactions flow fast.

I won't deny that there's value at the fringes to decentralized, robust systems, but that value is at best 2% of what crypto defenders claim.
I had a CMS system for several sites all in python 1.x, my users could do almost PHP-ish page scripting and i had an apache server with embedded interpreter and all sorts of fancy crap. Never opened and published any of that code but it served us admirably, and I'm still proud of it. Especially stretching Python out to people who "were not coders" and didn't want to be, but did want to make simple "if / then / else" and loop constructs.

I did some early parallel python work, which i did get to publish some of but cant find a link for now. "Vmaps" did python object views into mmap() blocks and had sparc and intel atomic operation wrappers too. It was in FreeBSD ports 'til like 2007. I like to think it positively influenced the evolution of NumPy, though I never really talked to "official" python folks.

That was pretty much my interpreter and script level tool for hacking the wild ass DB code i was running on a couple of big rack sparcs for an ultimately failed and foolish project. It was a lot of fun making big iron dance like that on the laughable budget i had. Most of the actual parallel work in that really happened at the C level but it was all entangled with my skinned, pinned, and re-imagined python interpreter. remember "stackless"? that were kind and sane by comparison.

Earlier I had some interesting USPS Bulk Mail sorting and label printing software, all in python, which in hindsight I should've tried harder to sell off.

> Do you mean it's better for the health of the swarm for a particular file?

That is one of the main points. Some files are shared by thousands users and can be downloaded in seconds, but others are much harder to find, so that I like to keep the client on to help other people getting it quickly. I usually am annoyed when a file with a single seed reaches like 97% then it dies until the following day because the seeder had to turn off the PC, so I try to avoid this, especially since it costs me nothing as broadband is flat and the client runs on a machine that is always on.

re3/revc is going to court largely because they included assets in their repository and advertised derivative works/ports. zret purposefully avoided all of these points making this oot mq decomp.

Of course Nintendo can submit a case if they like but it'd be a lot less likely to enter an actual trial like re3/revc. A better comparison would be https://github.com/n64decomp/sm64 which followed the exact same guidelines as this project. Nintendo chased after and DMCA'd many projects based on it but never the original project.

Planes need forward velocity to generate lift using fixed wings. No vertical takeoff/landing/hover with fixed wings unless you do some very fancy thrust vectoring.
Wow never really knew this. I guess you need to have deep understanding of the language and maybe have English as your mother tongue to pick up on such things. No wonder text is so emotionless and people misread and get angry about what they think it means all the time. Yet, nobody misreads the tone of your voice or facial expressions.

Like in India we have a very common expression "I'm writing to intimate you.." which my American boss got really angry to read. For us it just means i'm writing to tell you, but many people esp from older gen use this a lot here to sound cool.

If you knew in advance that it was going to crash, there's better ways to profit more directly. If you didn't, seems unlikely you'd be ready to capitalize.

Besides, not sure how it works in Turkey, but most places at least: retailers can cancel orders for little to no reason, if you bought a bunch of crap right before such an event, I bet they'd cancel it.
it can probably be argued that the effort put in by people surpasses the requirement for derivative work, and it should go without saying that without the ROM (or other source of assets such as sounds, art, and music) that the code in question compiles into something that doesn't function.

this isn't the result of a single tool doing the work, but a lot of tools and a lot of people looking at the output of those tools and interpreting that output, then changing it to make sense within the scope of the project framework(s).

probably very similar to an emulator for a single game.

Solutions to climate change support high levels of well-being
The kicker is at the bottom:

> The expansion of the ‘Green New Deal’ and the rise of ‘renewable’ industrial technologies may be the death knell for these archaic and peaceful people. Make no mistake, these green initiatives – electric vehicles, wind turbines, solar batteries – these are actively destroying the last remaining strongholds of biodiversity on the planet.

This reads like so much contrarian trollery since time immemorial. Jonas Salk is exploiting children! The abolitionists are actually harming slaves! The vaccines are actually a nefarious controlling plot and the pandemic is a sham!

Basically, the trick is to say people who claim to care about the problem are actually the source of the problem. This isn't to say that cobalt extraction is harmless or that this harm is disconnected from the global desire to use low-carbon mechanisms to power the economy, but I sincerely doubt this citation-free article portrays the situation accurately. For one thing, the Green New Deal is a purely US thing, and it isn't a particular piece of legislation that has stood any chance of being enacted under that name since the Democratic primaries (and not even then, though at least then it had proponents who stood some chance of gaining significant political power), so singling this out as the demon to fear is to single our environmental action in general. Insulating your home!? What about the pigmies! Buying milk in returnable glass bottles!? Oppressor! Going vegetarian to reduce your carbon footprint!? You cannibalistic monster!

I sincerely doubt the WWF is the sole funder of park rangers, or that a desire they might have expressed to remove people from areas of biological diversity is targeted at pigmies rather than, say, illegal logging or mining operations. I cannot believe that "addressing climate change and working to preserve the rain forest are the chief threats to pigmies" is an argument offered in good faith. I'm pretty sure the pigmies would suffer more and faster if the loggers, miners, bushmeat trade, and climate change are allowed to roll along unstopped.
