I strongly agree with your sentiment. Both nix and guix have terrible error messages and searching the web for answers if doomed to failure. Although i must point out both have very friendly communities and asking for help in chat is likely to yield constructive answers.

As guix has shown, nix principles can be applied as a DSL/library within your favorite language of choice. I would be curious to see what a "rustix" would look like!

What do you think about the French law that didn't pass, which would have made it illegal to upload photos of the police? Arguably, the actions of police officers are more of a public concern than those of national politicians, but they also fall into the category of non-famous people.

I wondered "How bad could it be?" and was unpleasantly surprised.
I think the standard that I want to see service providers is "force me to do it, or I'm not going to do it." Get a court order. Get a warrant. Kick down my door. Sue me. Subpoena me. Stop rolling over without even getting a treat for it; it's pathetic.

> you are not allowed to take a photo of people without permission, even in public

This is clearly not true though. People end up in other peoples’ photos all of the time without permission. So it sounds like a bullshit law that can be used to arbitrarily string people up rather than anything actually enforceable or reasonable.
In the not so distant past most people didn't go to college. This notion that working remotely for a time is resulting in mental health issues is symptomatic of a society that is raising a bunch of man/woman children who never grow up, never mature, and are so emotionally stunted that the smallest disruption to their overly protected lives makes their heads spin. Time to grow up. Children are being raised to be so called adults with no coping skills.
Bitcoin is a lot less liquid than many people think, a lot of wash trading has occurred recently that has obscured this.
> England for one has open source statistics, and most cases are breakthrough

I was thinking why one would say this without mentioning that the vaccination rate is pretty high, so one would expect more breakthrough cases than cases in unvaccinated people. For an extreme example, with 100% vaccination rate, all cases would be breakthrough. I can't find the UK data, so can't answer exactly, but not unexpected at all.

> Alex Berenson

And this explains why you didn't include it. I didn't know this person, but apparently he's a writer, no education in stats/biology/medicine, from the US, and apparently has made multitude of wrong claims [1]. I wonder if it's that you don't know better or you're making a bad faith argument.

Another day another DeFi project rekt. What happened:

> The front end to the BadgerDAO website was reportedly acccessed, according to comments in the project's Discord channel, and used to intercept transactions. One admin said it appears that an API key for Cloudflare was compromised.

> One user had around 900 bitcoin ($50.8 million) worth of tokens stolen in a single transaction. Another lost $5 million worth of tokens in one go.

Once that BTC is gone, it is gone. DAOs seem to have a lot of trust issues beyond a simple front-end attack and not even you should trust that they can keep their own websites secure. Where are the regulations, audits and security checks for this thing?

Most of the times, the prohibition is not "taking the photo" but distributing it, which is much easier to enforce. At least it's how it is in Spain, where we have a similar law.
Yeah, who knows. It's arbitrary and probably depends mostly on how long it's been since the judge has had a meal* when they are making their decision. For some bizarre reason things like this are thought of as very enlightened when done in Europe, but would be seen as authoritarian and dystopian if done anywhere else.

> It is highly unlikely that this is feasible

Some more complex nix features would not be easy to transpile automatically, but many (i don't have stats sorry) packages are very simple declarations which could be ported automatically.

For example, all language-specific libraries imported from rust/python/etc could very easily be automatically ported, and in my experience, writing declarations for those many dependencies is what takes most time in making a small package (although admittedly i only tried once).

> Well, then you lack a sufficient exposure to business that is required to understand what I am talking about.

Incorrect. I understand perfectly what you are talking about. You do not have privileged knowledge. You just aren't saying what you think you are. Your words and your meaning are misaligned, apparently intentionally.

You came into this thread with this:

> You cannot have any kind of a company without profit. Period.

That was your opening gambit. It was factually incorrect then, it relied on your being able to emotionally manipulate readers into taking a different understanding of "profit" than any of them likely did, and all you've done since is alienate people from your core point by talking nonsense and claiming to be better than them.

Where did you expect this comment to go?

> Provide the names of ten companies of non-trivial scale who have operated with zero or near zero profit for, say, 25 years, without external donations or other financial inputs to make-up for the lack of profit. Just ten companies. If I am wrong, it should not be too hard to present such a list.
> Hint: Even charities have to operate at a profit. Without this they would not have people, offices, marketing and the means to perform their stated charitable objectives.

It is literally, trivially, obviously wrong, and you've said nothing prior or since to change that other than try to crowbar in irrelevancies about what you think a specific form of legal entity should be allowed to do.

> I am not in the habit of posting comments about things I don't know anything about. I just don't do that.

And yet here we are. You may have a point. I may even agree with it. But the way that you are expressing it does not come across as good-faith in the slightest.

> I have done business with people with direct experience working with and through the Vatican, either as direct customers or intermediaries. The only thing I'll say is: The Mafia are amateurs compared to some of the shit that organization has in its history. And I am only talking about the financial part of their closet.

So what? That makes precisely zero difference to the definition of profit. It does not answer the question of whether the Vatican makes any. Is it a grasping, rapacious, self-aggrandising, amoral organisation? You probably have an answer to that. It is utterly irrelevant to the question of profit.

> You don't have to agree with me.

Quite. As someone once said: you are entitled to your own opinions. But you are not entitled to your own facts.

I remember when Transferwise changed their name to Wise.

I tried to humor them and use their new name when talking about the service to other people, but people had a hard time understanding what I was even saying. "I use this thing called Wise." "What?" - something about the word is actually hard to enunciate and people don't even comprehend the sentence. I think this is mainly a problem with using a pre-existing English word for your brand.

In the case of Square, their original name was already pretty non-specific/unrelated and they just moved laterally. I guess if they're getting into blockchain then maybe it really is more related now...
Great idea! Kinda hard on glued smartphones, but still doable.

They hang around on hackint, the hacking/hackerspace IRC network. So it's very likely they have some AFK connections as well, and also some common political motivations driving them.
I actually lost three stone during lockdown (between about this time last year and May 2021) and put it all back on again when I returned to the office (think nice cafe, crisps, chocolate, vending machines etc.)

Basically, when I was at home I planned everything I ate. Porridge for breakfast, homemade soup (a batch lasts four days) and bread for lunch and a proper dinner, such as a big batch of curry, chilli, stew (each lasts a few days ) plus veg.

I also exercised. I dusted down the old exercise bike and did 20 minutes most days followed by some basic calisthenics plank, pushups, airbike and crunches. I started with low numbers, so 60-seconds plank, 10 pushups, 15 airbikes, 20 crunches and then every added a few seconds/reps each day. Excel is your friend.

You'll be amazed at how much improvement you can achieve when it is structured over the space of a couple of weeks.
No. It doesnt fetch new code from github or anywhere else. the model has been trained and uses the data of that training.
Twitter literally limits the length of your tweets. What can you say in a couple of phrases in the context of activism and politics? Just link another platform? Don't get me started on twitter threads, this is abomination. My patience usually runs out after the third tweet in a thread.

Another day Twitter CEO resigned and he posted a screenshot of his mail. Why couldn't he post it in a proper text format so people can reflow text and read it on different screens? Because Twitter sucks.
These types of puzzles can help educate people as to how things might need to be coded to work in more "real world" situations. At my previous job we used them as the basis for discussion and education amongst the team (hoping to do something similar at current company).

For example, taking 2021_day1, the naive solution that reads in all of the values and then iterates through calculating and comparing sums is all well and good, it satisfies the end goal of producing a solution.

What if you had 1,000,000,000 values in the input?

* A program that reads in and stores all of the values before iterating through them now consumes a non-insignificant amount of memory.

What if you had to check the differences between the sums of 100,000 consecutive terms?

* A program that calculates and compares the sums (rather than just comparing the two non-common terms) will be doing a lot more unnecessary computation.

What if you had to take a seemingly endless input stream and report the running totals at 1,000,000 iteration intervals?

* A program that reads all of the input before iterating through it is now unsuitable.

..etc..

Programming is not just about getting the answer, it's knowing where you can do the bare minimum to do that, and knowing under what conditions your bare minimum solution will become impractical and what you would have to do to avoid this.

There's nothing stopping people using AoC as a toy to collect all of the stars (surprisingly few people have all 304 stars, it was under 700 last time Eric answered that question in July 2021). But it can also be used for a lot more than that.
Maybe stop asking then?
I have trust in the human race that they will reach a boiling point, and no mechanism can stop that from spiralling out — it's been like that throughout the history. I don't see nukes as of any use (nuking their own dissenting population would surely trigger a civil war: nobody will take that) — nukes are mostly there to deter external invaders (as soon as you use them, that deterring value is gone)!

Their economy is mostly based on inequality between the West and the rest (and internally, between poor regions and cities): as they are quickly catching up in salaries and standard of living, it will level off (sure, their domestic market is huge as well and gives them another few years or a decade).

I'd instead say that media-manipulation based on scientific exploration of the human mind and behaviour is a bigger threat to our freedom: we won't even know that we've lost it. Still, even in that case, I am sure enough people will see what's going on, and will be able to convince others of the bad sides of it.
Reminder that every DAO is a self-administering bug bounty for all of the value under its control.

Reminder also that you don't have to "hack etherum"; there are plenty of spots more vulnerable than the blockchain itself at which value can be stolen.

(I would however be interested to know where all this stolen value ends up, and how well it can ultimately be laundered into the real world, or if this is more like driving a truck into an ATM that causes far more loss than is actually successfully stolen)

> please consider making it really easy to contribute

Yes, that's one area where Guix shines in comparison to nix. They use an established language with its standard library (Guile lisp) making it very easy for people to contribute without learning arcane incantations.

I would love to see nix/Guix implemented in a statically-typed, high-level language like Rust.
> I'm curious how this is expected to work in practice.

Most of the time, the prohibition is on distribution. And it's only applicable when the people in the picture can be reasonably identified. A street scene in Berlin where you barely see people's faces or two hikers on a distant hill wouldn't be problematic.
I didn't see any of that happen when Trump was in power or is that an aberration.
I'm pretty sure the law is about publishing photos, not taking photos.

And in general the focus of the photo matters. You don't need permission from random folks who are not recognizable in the background.

Intent also matters. If I post a picture of my kid eating icecream and there's some random dude in the background no court will prosecute that.

If I add a caption identifying the person in the background things might look different.
Not later than this morning I heard a ICU doctor using the same wording to describe his daily job so clearly this sentence has different meanings depending on who utters it to who and when.
Am I understanding correctly that you believe because the two people attacking him were unarmed, he did not have the right to shoot them? You say you "accept" it was lawful, but it doesn't seem like you believe it should be.

I wonder if two "unarmed" people were attacking you, would you just let them beat you to death? I can't understand this train of thought at all.
So basically they just removed the ability for people to hold people in power accountable by making their mischievous acts known in public, while it is known that "proper, lawful" channels would not have worked due to conflict of interest..?
> I would also like it if the language itself can be decoupled from the build and package manager system

I would also like that, but for the exact opposing reason. I love the concepts of nix/guix but i can't stand the dynamic languages with cryptic error messages.
Now they should suspend tournaments in USA for the atrocities that the US administration has done on civilians and innocents in Afghanistan.

How did the platform straight up disappear, on the whims of a single developer? Isn’t this space all “decentralized”?
