Most tech companies in the US require for their employees to give their IP rights away. Apple has been known in to do this, but I remember reading about a Apple employee releasing a app he made under his S.O's account to bypass his agreement.

Presumably this is a kernel panic? "Kernel panic" seems like it'd make a better title than "CPU panic".

Is there a way to report this bug to Apple engineers?
The internet was decentralised, for years, before it got enclosed into a series of corporate walled gardens. We already have all the technology we need for a decentralised internet.
Amazon uses USPS for large cities as well (where package theft is a very big issue) - most homes have a secondary lock with access to the foyer, and postal carriers have the key. This functions just like blocks of lockable mailboxes that are found in condo/apartment complexes, but for packages.

Needless to say, the overnight/next day delivery options that you'll see for suburban neighborhoods are nonexistent in many other places.
Caffeine? How did you isolate this cause? Do you think Nespresso’s alu capsules are involved? Since I drink Nespresso I have strange bowel movements, extreme tiredness and getting fat.
Those people were abusive, not unstable. It had been going on and would have continued. North Korea is stable. Dennis Rader was stable.
Ethiopia and Philippines are very Christian, though maybe not as urban.
Managing the money supply according to a democratic mandate doesn't constitute "evil", sorry. I thought this was a serious discussion.
I think there were a lot of great ideas presented in these small examples.

1. Explicitly marking non-local _data_ vs. in-memory. A very cool idea -- languages and libraries I've used all seem to try to make this transparent (unsuccessfully, as indicated by the random serialization errors you get)

2. Making the noise around serialization and RPC transparent to the user

3. Bring the code to the data, not the data to the code

4. Immutability, FP, and I like the syntax -- no coincidence in its similarities to Haskell and Scala, I'm sure :)

These are all pain points in a lot of existing "big data systems" I've used, where they either solve the problem half-baked or don't address at all. I'm excited to see where this project goes!
Maybe no "harm" but you'll probably draw some ridicule. On some forums, announcing yourself as a Christian will win you an anti-Trump diatribe.

I expect that if humanity even invents fully functional external wombs and reliable CRISPR-level gene editing, humanity will call all progressives arguing for the right to have an abortion murderers. Society's frame of reference changes constantly, and what once was progressive will likely be looked unfavourably upon in the future. My guess for the next big shift in society: a movement towards complete abolishment of all consumption of animal products.

You can see this effect in a short scale too. J. K. Rowling was once considered a feminist and role figure for an accomplished woman, until her views on trans people made her no longer reflect the progressive opinions of today.

I think this is part of the normal progression of modern society, accelerated by the ability to reach out to countless people across the world.

It's interesting and perhaps a little scary to theorise what taboos will change from "disgusting" to "progressive" in the future. There's a good chance most people, even the progressive ones, will fall behind on the curve of acceptance at some point.

I myself believe that eugenics, if applied well, can help humanity. In practice, though, I don't think humanity can be trusted to apply it well, so any attempt to introduce it is doomed to be plagued by humanity's flaws. It's the same reason communism fails: humanity cannot work together enough to make something work that in theory would be beneficial to all of us.

What I don't get is the government in Canada was fighting for everyone to have a right to a doctor assisted suicide, even based on mental state. And legalized euthanasia. But now did a complete 180 and now everyone must get medicated, even against their will under all kinds of threats. How do those two positions square?

Also imagine retarding your economy by a few years worth of progress, and everyones standard of living going down. How many future lives will that cost. All those inventions not being made, hospitals not being built, roads not being fixed, and so on.

And the possibility that the vaccine has long term effects is still not out of the question. Imagine if it raises the chance of lifetime cancer by 1%. Who will compensate all those people, pay for all that care, and so on. All that risk is shifted onto the public. While the vaccine manufacturers are absolved of all.

Pfizer wants to take 50 years, to release their own safety study to the public in full. For what possible good reason should it take that long. How is that possibly informed consent?
>I wonder what made them pick GTK instead of QML

GTK works with C and has a nice API, and also it's built with free software in mind
Wouldn’t a lambda be far cheaper?
I had a few questions:

1. The posts mention Spark, but were you (the Unison team) also inspired by dataflow / stream processing engines (e.g. Flink, Beam, Timely Dataflow etc.) or any other technologies?

2. Relatedly, are there any plans to add a stream processing API? Or perhaps that would belong in a 3rd-party library?

3. Broadly, where do you think (in your opinion) Unison fits in the ecosystem of tooling? Is Unison specialized at solving big data problems that require distributed execution e.g. something I pull out of my toolbox for a problem I'd otherwise solve with Spark? Or is it a truly general-purpose programming language?

4. With the Tree example, you show the "wrong" way and then the "right" way -- one problem I've experienced in the past is how do you as a new user know the right way. For example, I wrap my entire program in IO then .unsafeRunSync it -- technically following the rules, but got nothing out of doing that. Have you thought about how the APIs could guide the user to the idiomatic solution? Perhaps via types?

By the way, I really loved the FP in Scala book, it was my first step into FP -- thank you and Runar for writing it
Yes, kernel panic seems more plausible. Although I’m not sure if the fans should start spinning in a kernel panic.

I’ve managed to trigger kernel panics a lot when testing DDC on Intel with Lunar (https://lunar.fyi) and all I was getting was a system freeze. I had to manually force restart.

I’m not able to change the title anymore, maybe one of the mods could do that?

I am glad this topic came up.

My son was diagnosed for Crohn's disease last year. He was 11 years at that time. His CalProtectin was 1040 at that time which very high compared to the safe value of 60. We gave him gluten free diet and it came down to 300 in 3 months but shot back to 700 few months later. Not sure what caused it go up.

I am desperately seeking help in curing him of Crohn's.

We are from India settled in USA. Does anyone have any good resources on this topic.

The doctor said that first generation immigrants don't get this disease but they have noticed that the their kids do get it.
I checked wikipedia and they list 442 amazon facilities in the US currently and under construction, with 58 noted as opening in 2021. I can't speak to the accuracy of this, but those numbers seem more believable.
> but no chewing gum is a bit extreme in my opinion.

People, especially the ones who have never travelled to Singapore, need to stop rehashing this story of old.

Chewing gum can be freely purchased in Singapore from a pharmacy. No, one won't be searched at the airport and/or canned for bringing their own chewing gum into the city.

You can try to push out mathew to 110 but it gets kinda tough....if there is that much of a gap between mark and mathew why do we have lots of mathean quotes in the early church and virtually none from mark? Kinda stretches credulity, for me at least.

I feel that if Mark really did enjoy a lengthy period as the of extant gospel it should have acquired a sort of prominence.

Grains are a big one for me. Red/fatty meat also seems to be one as well. I will say it’s been difficult to pinpoint exact triggers and far easier to pinpoint things that don’t trigger me though.

I know rice/chicken are two things that I tolerate well. Dairy seems to be fairly well tolerated too. Bland crackers like saltines and even Nilla wafers are usually fine as well.

Oddly, one thing that really triggers me is things that are fruit snacks/similar items. Not sure if it is gelatin or what, but something in them sets me off.
"This study makes the point clearly - by 2013, drugs produced 8.9% more pain relief than placebos, compared to 27.3% in 1996. In the charts above, it can be seen that the effect of placebo drugs has increased a lot, whereas the effectiveness of pain relief drugs has barely changed, meaning that the treatment advantage (the effectiveness of active drugs as opposed to placebos) has fallen dramatically. Weirdly, it seems like this is only happening in the United States, whereas other countries haven’t seen particularly large increases in the effect size of placebos."

Forever, Pharmaceutical companies were cherry picking studies that proved their drug worked better than Placebo.

Drug companies are notorious for dropping a study that didn't show their drug in a positive light, and including a better study.

A Psychologist (Irving Kirsch--I belive?) started to wonder if antidepressants actually work, after seeing so much treatment failure. I belive he took them for awhile.
He decided to look into the drug studies, but included All the studies.

He used the Freedom of Information Act to get the all the drug studies from the government. Not just the cherry picked ones. He found that antidepressants don't work better than placebo.

When the drug companies, and Psychiatrists, heard about his work they got nervous. A psychiatrists bread and butter is dolling out these drugs at $450 office visits.

Well--he upset the boys. He even concluded with his research that drugs might make depression worse in some patients.

This was a decade ago I believe.

Current studies are a tiny bit more positive in terms of antidepressant drugs that might work in some people.

(I was interested in this research because I probally tried 8 antidepressants over the years, and felt just worse. I just couldn't understand it. I felt terrible, but the drugs did absolutely nothing besides making by noodle soft. Actually could orgasm, or it took circus help. I still have a ex-girlfriend who thought it was her. I told her everytime it's the meds, and not you.

I'm to tired to hunt down his study, but one of you can.

My point is two fold.

1. Drug companies play with stastistics, and even studies (dropping a study because it didn't pan out is wrong).

2. I have a weird feeling Pharmacutical lawyers have been telling those executives to be more ethical over the years in order to thwart off lawsuits.

I feel certain drugs, even the older drugs, might not work as well as we think. We just trusted drug companies up until lately.

it's not always ideal, only you have a very intelligent parser understanding the context of the manpage.. i.e: "-u: read a http url" the parser would need to understand to propose an https:// (and perhaps the hosts on system) prefix after hitting the TAB key after the -u flag. if not it would do just the completion of switches and argument which is maybe good enough but not great...

(it's a simple example that doesn't add a lot of usefulness, but there is other usecase like the -n of kubectl, it is very useful to have the completion of kubectl namespaces in there after -n)

Pretty much every linux tool pulls these shenanigans. I hate it when there's no flag to control output.
SSH uses asymmetric crypto to authenticate, and then negotiates session keys. That’s how most modern PKI systems actually work. TLS is a great example: all actual traffic is encrypted symmetrically, and all modern ciphers use forward-secret session key negotiations.

And, to say the underlying part out loud: an encryption system can be a heck of a lot worse than plaintext, because plenty of ways of handling encryption are trivially broken, but give the user an illusion that what they’re saying is secure.

For rotation: my specific question was around long delays. Say, for example, you email me today. I get your public key from this new tag we’ve added. A month later, you rotate your key, but the next time we exchange emails is when I email you a year from now. I’m using your old key, the one I have.
Yes, personally speaking, I’d prefer the native app given the choice. :)

I’m not personally arguing for PWAs over native apps!

That said, I also know there are some apps that will never be developed as native apps (due to cost issues), and in those cases it would be nice to give web developers the tools to at least make the experience more pleasant and native-feeling.
> It's hard to do without refrigeration.

We’ve changed our diet since refrigeration is available. That’s an argument of vegetarians: Since we want meat, we need a refrigerator, which in turn makes us eat a lot of processed food. Frozen food, yoghurts, milk-based products, all of those are heavily processed, we try to “fill in the rest of the fridge”. My vegetarian friends reversed it: Eat veggies and fruits in quantity, grains, nuts, beans, bread, spices, oils… I’m a meat eater but I’m just passing the word: It is possible to live without refrigeration without compromising food, except meat.

I am talking about white collar crime, which tends to be much more black and white than terrorism. And no, the government doesn't have a history of spending millions in trying to chase frivolous cases. Has it happened? Sure. But prosecutors are graded on their closure rate which is why you see so many settlements. The last thing they want is to waste millions on a witch hunt.

You only see the bad. You say "anyone who follows the news" which means you've probably followed a handful of these...out of the millions of cases which get referred to prosecutors: the vast majority are ignored, the remainder are mostly settled, and a small amount end up in court. Government is a necessary evil, but an evil nonetheless. I'm quite libertarian myself, but let's not concoct ridiculous narratives to affirm our views.
Same here. I have bipolar disorder and am a former alcohol and drug addict, so I am aware to watch out for natural and drug induced manic states, but I had my spiritual experience completely sober and medicated for bipolar. I really tuned into PKD afterwards because he was open to "The Great Beyond" as R.E.M. called it. Not just PKD, but others as well.

we use RtAudio which has ASIO support, but we can't legally distribute binaries with that so our RtAudio is built without it. if you want ASIO support you'd have to build RtAudio yourself with ASIO support and replace the DLL if you're using our binaries

I love drinking ice water, but I stopped after I found that even when using RO-filtered water in a separate ice cube tray, I was getting getting off tastes in the ice from something that was evidently living in the fridge/freezer.

I don't know if its spores or just odors or what, but I can't seem to get it out of the fridge; I'm pretty sure it's growing on or near the evaporator coils, in an area I can't access.
> I am desperately seeking help in curing him of Crohn's.

There's no known cure for Crohn's disease, only treatment to reduce symptoms. If you are really lucky it might go into long-term remission, but theres no 'cure' yet.

As someone who's been dealing with severe chronic symptoms of Chron's my whole life.... I wish there was.
I never had any obesity problem even without exercising: what problem is exercise really solving?

The fact that I don't need something to achieve a particular goal does not mean that others don't.

In all fairness, you do recognize that there might be goals other than encouraging exercise, as you wonder what they are.
I’ve been using some Microsoft services recently, found some bugs in their APIs,I don’t even bother reporting the issues anymore as it will never be solved.

Definitely pick it up. One of the more unexpectedly profound books I’ve ever read. His tactics for dissecting stories are relevant far beyond just writing. He also somehow manages to hit the right tone while exploring the short stories, engaging the reader on complex topics while simultaneously not becoming boring or pedantic
Sure, the but flipside is that you lose the public good. You no longer have a mandated universal service operation which means suddenly you can't send mail to rural locations. And not only can you not send mail to rural locations, all those rural locations can't access services that require mail, so suddenly you've got a problem where people won't be able to set up bank accounts. Now clearly, the mail isn't as important as it used to be, but let's not pretend- those in rural areas where universal service is the least profitable, are also those least likely to have access to the internet for e-mail etc.

You see this effect in the UK with Royal Mail, the Conservatives decided to float it on the stock exchange (astonishingly mispriced netting their donors a nice sum - it peaked up 58% on it's IPO price in 6 months). The Royal Mail was already profit making when it was floated. Since then did they get much more efficent? No. Did they start using those profits to lobby for removing the universal service obligation? Yes!
In a perfect system, filled with perfect altruistic people, that always have perfect information, serving a community of people that all have the exact same needs then yes a monopoly would always be more efficient.

We do not live in such as world. First My trash needs are not the same as my neighbors trash needs so a single program does not work for all people. Some people have more trash, some people have more recycling, some people have large items all the time, others do not, etc etc etc. This is one of the reasons your city probably does have more than 5 companies already doing service in it, as most cities only provide residential trash services, not commercial, to businesses have to contract out their own trash removal because all of their removal needs are even more varied than residential and a government program would never work

Then there are other problems associated with monopolies that make them inefficient since they are divorced from the feedback loop of their customers. This is why there are very very few natural monopolies, because monopolies are inefficient even though on paper it seems like they would be the most efficient

It is like socialism in that way, good on paper bad in reality.

Monopolies are almost universally found due to some kind of government imposition, law or regulation that protects them.
