I didn't learn how to code until my freshman year of college, and it was intimidating to hear my peers talk about how they had been coding since they were kids. But I did pick it up then, and learned quickly enough that I could do it professionally (maybe the lack of prior bad habits helped there).

In hindsight, I had a good half-dozen really good opportunities to learn how to code from elementary school and onwards, but none of them stuck until college. I wrote about that a bit on my blog: https://bobbiechen.com/blog/2021/7/15/opportunities . I'm perfectly happy not having learned earlier, and I think if someone had been forcing me to write code, there's a good chance I would've rebelled and not even tried it down the line.

I think that for example the law forbidding you from burning plastic trash in your furnace, or running a diesel car without a DPF, can be well classified as "to prevent individuals from bringing harm to others by doing what they please".

The gains in case of covid seem to be to prevent costly impact on healthcare system (non-covid care getting postponed, staff burning out and quitting).

This is completely missing the point of the article. None of them are 'self-made' and statistically probably wouldn't have been successful if their families didn't have money and connections. They didn't succeed because they can do something the rest of us couldn't, they just also had opportunity which is why we shouldn't put them on a pedestal as examples of self-made success and expertise. It's like praising someone for winning the lottery. If someone like Elon Musk started out poor in life he'd probably still be there.

International Law is not a thing. You are being brainwashed if you think it exists. A Law only exists if it is enforced, and only superpowers are actually able to enforce anything.

I think any sort of memory dump, be it personal or professional is helpful. I used to write the morning pages and got out of habit and trying to get back. More than "cognitive offloading" as others mentioned it helped me in processing the past day. Never tried logging the work related stuff. Will give it a shot.

NSO sells only to governments and law enforcement agencies.

Therefore, the relevant client would be the Ugandan government.

This is an excellent point! I'm sort of hoping that the calcination approach combined with some cheaper form of sequestration (pyroxenite carbonatation or whatever) will end up being significantly more efficient, and you can run it off thermal energy rather than electrical energy. (Of course lower-temperature scrubber materials like the ethanolamines also require much less energy to regenerate, but they're orders of magnitude more expensive than lye or quicklime.)

My thought about chlorine disposal is that it's easy enough to burn it in hydrogen (obtained at an additional energy cost from water electrolysis, only two thirds of which do you get back from the combustion), at which point the chlorine has been reduced to a harmless chloride ion; then you just need to neutralize its acidity --- without releasing carbon dioxide in the process! So carbonates are out. Borax would be fine but I'm not sure it's abundant enough. I think probably the best option is to use it to convert apatite to insoluble dicalcium phosphate fertilizer and filter off the resulting neutral calcium chloride.
> This happened several times, so unless the Israeli command center had the memory of a goldfish - they intentionally kept sending attack aircraft until they eventually got a pilot to pull the trigger. Why would they do such a thing?

To that point, it's worth noting here friendly fire incidents happen all the time in war, as well as attacks against neutral parties. For instance: the US has bombed its own troops probably more times than anyone can count, and it also bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade and shot down an Iranian airliner. Why would they do such things? Honestly, it's plausible they they may actually have had the memory of a goldfish, at least occasionally.

> Conflict-free means that there is no conflict in the semantics,

If you start with an incorrect premise you will wind up in a strange place. Conflict free has a specific meaning, and "semantics" can have multiple layers. If your threshold is perfect conflict free semantics at all levels, then you are indeed doomed. But a CRDT can provide a distributed, conflict-free canonical source substrate, with a specific semantic meaning at a minimally useful lowest semantic level. The challenge is to find transformations that are "good enough" to minimize conflicts at the higher semantic levels that you care about.

(As it stands now) It is a multi-generation trip. These humans need to live somewhere and eat something, thus it's logical choice just to ship biome with them. Additional advantage is that error-prone 'boot' process to built up new biome at destination is eliminated.

But this is not the main point. It's still extremely expensive. Imagine that world GDP needs to be taken for few years just to build single ship. Who would agree to that in democratic society?

Well, simply working at various crypto companies for not very long (about 1-2 years) has made many of my friends millionaires. And these are their first jobs out of college. Some others just bought Ethereum early, or something.

So while a majority will not likely become very rich, many do. And at the scale involved, it's perhaps millions of people getting rich.
I find the UX for Youtube Shorts to be so horrible I don't watch more than one video a session. It doesn't support landscape, and if you make the mistake of watching it to the end it starts over but with a darkened screen, forcing you to hit Back twice to get out of it. Who the hell watches a one minute video and then goes "gee, I really want to hear just the audio from that over again right now"?
Yup. If decently up to date surface-to-air missiles were fired at State Department helicopters in X country, the US would be very very angry at whoever let those get sold so loosely.
Thanks. Being a HSP(highly sensitive person) I am always careful of my coffee after lunch. Now I realised I need to either have it early morning or not at all.
How am I supposed to rationally engage with their thesis, given that their theory of value is so ambiguous that I can't even tell if they think the value of my house is primarily a use-value in that it enables me to laugh at the suffering of the homeless beggars of Dhaka? The fact that they refused to answer even such basic questions makes me think that, rather than attempting to engage in reasonable discourse, they are playing some kind of sadistic mind game.
Really, all you need is a subtle suggestion to the Israeli government that the hundred billions or so dollars they receive from the US every year might be impacted by continued NSO bad publicity.
No video, but surely Walmart has cash register logs and can pull up purchases from that day/time/lane. No word about that in the article :(
I think this is an interesting thought experiment. I suppose the restaurants, utilities, and schools are all fully automated, like Automats or Skinner's Teaching Machine? (Or perhaps they have employees, but they all commute from over 160 km away?) And my family is the only consumer of those automated services?

It seems like the price of each meal at the restaurants would need to be sufficient for the restaurant to operate for a month or two, perhaps a few thousand dollars. That seems like it would discourage eating at these wonderful restaurants.
I did not say the body can't deal with glucose and as you point out, produce it on demand. What I meant by "in a tight band" was the chronically elevated glucose is damaging to organs as evidenced by what happens in advanced diabetes.

And the body doesn't need dietary carbohydrates, which was my point. It does absolutely need both proteins and fats without which starvation occurs.

B2 as a backup solution it's a compelling option as far as pricing goes.

I'd offer a warning that I have used B2 for highly available blob storage before (2-3 years ago) ... it didn't work well as traffic scaled. I'm not sure if that's the case now.

For anyone wondering about B2 encryption. I looked at B2 last year and ultimately didn't use it as they didn't have encryption at rest [1]. It seems they've now added that [2].

The US usually gets attributed something like 40-60% of the value of global capital markets, so it seems to me a reasonable default assumption that it has a similar ratio of payments fraud, or illegal drugs, or whatever economic sector you might choose. Very likely a plurality, very possibly not a majority.
My thought was that the customer runs the server provided by NSO. I though the web form is running off of a webserver in a building owned by the customer.

DuckDB is an embedded database. That is, it is a library one loads into their application. This is in contrast to a server database like Postgres where the database and application live on different processes (usually on different machines).

DuckDB is often compared to SQLite. But a more apt comparison might be KDB+, a proprietary vector embedded database.
>But unvaccinated people are doing NOTHING to make life more difficult for others.

They are taxing the healthcare system, in some areas overwhelming it. COVID hospitalization and eventual death is typically not quick, often 4 - 6 weeks taking up ICU resources. They are spreading the virus more rampantly than the vaccinated and literally killing people, often each other.

If we could trace viral spread back to each specific individual who passed the virus on and hold that individual criminally and civilly liable for their actions, then maybe we can have the lecture on personal liberties and behaving responsibly at their own discretion, because then they'd actually have some skin in the game. We can't do that, so we're already being forced to socialize the detrimental outcomes caused by antivaxxers. Society can certainly ask for something in return for the limited liability granted to these antivaxxers and place limits on those who continue to make little to no effort to reduce their potential harm to those around them and society in general.

It's fair to be suspicious of strangers on the internet.

My personal life is very transparent online. My girlfriend is from Mexico City, and we spent lots of time there. I live a digital nomad lifestyle, and travel (or used to, before the pandemic) frequently.

I asked Apple if spending lots of time outside the US while having a US Apple account was part of the problem, and they said no. Please don't judge based on location.

All I'm asking for is a way to appeal my case with Apple, because I have sufficient documentation to show my gift card purchases are legitimate.
This isn't being sold to an American enemy - in fact, the US sells and donates (!) weapons to the same government. The US doesn't care much about Israel (a Major Non-NATO Ally) or Turkey (a NATO member) selling artillery pieces and APCs to Uganda.

It's all about the specific class of weapon. There are general understandings about who can get sold what weapon without the US getting mad. No radars or surface-to-air missiles for China or Russia or for random tiny dictatorships; but it's totally okay to sell them to India or Latin America. Dumber things like artillery pieces can go anywhere, even places under US sanctions like Myanmar, without crossing any lines. But this isn't written in treaties; it's all implicit understandings and learned patterns of retaliation.

For this new class of weapon, both sides are still feeling out the rules. The US is laying down precedents that put NSO's products much closer to the rules for radars and missiles, while Israel is pushing the limits to see how far the US can live with.

> no way to make tables with multiline text in the cells

"no way" is perhaps too strong. There are some steps involved but it can be done.
Well, it's pseudocode, but it's close enough.

Here's a runnable example: https://scastie.scala-lang.org/5klYiw6cT7yckJbn2zGmJg

The gist is: this does everything needed for resources, including preventing errors at compile-time, being composable/reusable and handling errors correctly (you can throw an exception in the middle and the scanners will still be closed).

That being said, having it as a language feature might make certain use-cases nicer and more ergonomic. However, it also makes the language much more complex; I don't think resources alone are a sufficient reason to fundamentally change the language.

One thing that Rust has gotten fairly right so far is not having added too many special cases and rely on general language features mostly. For example, don't have special syntax/handling for optional/nullable values, but just use the existing macrosystem to deal with it. I hope this philosophy will continue.

Rust is here to stay and these kind of decisions make a big difference in the long run.
It makes sense that _you_ as an author don’t think of python packaging as a problem - it’s only really inflicted upon non-developer end users of the products.
The dislike ratio was very reliable when determining whether I should watch a video purporting to show a solution to a technical or home improvement problem. The dislike ratio was a sure way to know whether a video was a waste of my time, because for videos of that nature, either the creator offered a valid solution (and was heavily upvoted) or they did not (and was heavily downvoted). Now I'll have to trudge through the comments section like a savage beast.
And Israel also sells super sophisticated weapons like AWACS radars and surface-to-air missiles.

But there are clear understandings that e.g. nothing goes to China, and no fancy radars go even to untrustworthy places like Myanmar. NSO is still in a gray zone.
Wow, sounds awesome! I’m from Chicago and there’s a lot of similar stuff around here. Maxwell polish, brags beer with onions and mustard, Italian meats… I’m salivating! I haven’t really been to the eastern parts so I’m unaware of what it has to offer but from your description there’s a lot!

Let's just host the downvote count somewhere else... all we need is a KV store, right? If we assume there are 10^10 videos there (it's surprisingly hard to find the exact numbers) and the downvote count won't go over 40 bits, then storing that data would need less than a terabyte in total.

(Only half-serious. I've seen a few "upvote this comment to dislike the video" and similarly clever workarounds already, so there does seem to be some bits of opposition and creative thinking left.)

My daughter (7) really enjoyed Scratch — so much so that she asks to do it often, and went and watched all the tutorials on her own. She internalized concepts like loops, user interaction, etc. It’s a nice environment and for me, it’s all about the concepts and less about language syntax at this stage.
Kind of? It seems like the main use case isn't a country that needs the tools of state-on-state spying; it's a country that needs the tools of Chinese-style domestic surveillance of the political opposition. In most cases where US persons have been targeted with NSO software, it's as part of operations against domestic dissidents, including in this case, where most of the usage was against Ugandan protesters.
