You've hit the nail squarely in your comment. The US is hideously broken. Notice I said "a nation state that adheres to the US constitution". I am not unaware of the failures of the United States, its abuses of power, and the hideous humanity expressed by its elite class (pedophilia, child sacrifice, etc.).

> _can_ a state be the bearer of insurance for these things?

Yes, but it requires the governors of the state to be moral. The peoples of the US have completely failed in passing moral ideologies to their children and grand-children. This moral failure has led to every disintegration of orderly running in the bureaucracy of the US and its states. If the pieces (the people) are immoral, so is the machine.

> And I'm not sure that anybody other than (some) white men have _ever_ had these things securely in their civic possession.

We pretend the opportunity is still to be had. But taxes and inflation steal most of the commoner's earnings. Taxes and inflation see to it that wealth (not necessarily dollars) flows to the elite class. Regulations ensure no one can fight the loss of wealth.
The problem is that more and more common mainstream beliefs are becoming blasphemy to the activist classes that wield disproportionate power and influence in the Democratic Party.
Please do. Les Mis was the first book my wife sent me in jail. I read the Penguin version and then one of the guys in my cellblock showed me the Signet one and said he was struggling with it. I read a bunch of it and was highly disappointed.
> Humans also have a right to live. Parents with better opportunities(whether through a better lifestyle or through better medicine) will be able to grant a better life expectancy for the child than the biological parents.

The right to life doesn't confer an obligation on or a right to another person to interfere to maximize the length or quality of someone else's child's life. Kidnapping would be a grossly unreasonable means to achieve that end!

> And who does exactly?

For the sake of this argument the only thing necessary to establish is that an individual has no authority to decide what is best for someone else's child save for instances of grave and imminent danger which this scenario of merely longer life span does not describe. Whether it's the parents, the state, or the tribal leaders, etc, it is never random individuals!

> Modern family structure gave this authority to the biological parents

The authority of a mother and a father over their child predates civilization let alone modern society. There is an extremely high bar for denying natural rights.

> I agree with this as taking children of people can cause significant distress for reasons I assume evolution related.

It causes distress because the parents love their child and they have no idea what is happening to them or if they're safe. It's an absolutely heinous crime and it's why kidnapping is treated to seriously in all just societies.

"Attacks on early Algebra" is literally accurate. "Attacks on algebra" isn't. By misquoting me, twice, you turned my statement from a true one to a false one. It doesn't matter if you think they're the same. They aren't.

Misquoting isn't something you get to do because of how you feel about the statements involved. It's dishonest.

The Dutch are entering a pretty strict lockdown https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-59713503.

Strict limits will be placed on the number of people who can meet - a maximum of two guests aged 13 and over will be allowed in people's homes, and four on 24-26 December and on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.

This sounds pretty unenforceable though to be honest.

Nobody is going to do a 'new start' in Obj-C outside of Apple so it's now a language used for 'One Companies Internal Purposes', moreover, swift in just the last 2 releases has gained significantly - they're just starting to use it.

My bet is that even then, most ObjC use is due to legacy - most of those binaries are probably related to apps that are already in ObjC.

I looks like they plan to keep it around for the foreseeable future, but I wonder if it will mostly be eventually replaced by Swift for new starts.
As I learn I’m realizing that what a lot of people miss is the rigor required once you pass a certain company/infra size. The same stack and processes that worked to get you to $X million is not the one that will allow you to scale software deployments to support $X billion worth of business. Documentation, real ci/cd with multiple environments, strong access controls. It’s so easy to gloss over these when you’re small. You have someone on the team who is “the expert”, you don’t have the money to do a real blue/green setup, you don’t have the time on an incident to give someone the proper access so you just give them a shared ssh key…success at scale requires discipline that makes the work hard and not fun. But it’s the key. Once you have dozens of infra engineers and many microservice teams, this laziness (that’s what it is, I know because I’m lazy) doesn’t work.

I did self organizing teams at a startup where Engineering grew from 20 to 100. It sounds like the article had the same philosophy, but implemented it differently. We didn't eliminate roles, but the roles became more fluid along with the person that was performing them.

Before, one person would receive and coordinate work among the team - the tech lead. After, we had a rotating roster of people who were interested in solving problems that would act as a tech lead. This was in coordination with our Product org.
I've been trying to do almost the opposite: as I gain experience, the number of tools that I want to be able to use keeps getting bigger, which makes it unreasonable for me to try to remember the details of how to use any of them.

I make a lot of my own notes ( https://til.simonwillison.net/ ) but I also rely very heavily on Google, and I'm fine with that.
You really need to back up that claim with some evidence.

My understanding is that solar is still too inconsistent to be the sole energy source for a power grid, but solar + nuclear could be.

Thinking solar can be a complete near term solution to carbon emissions strikes me as faith based reasoning, without fundamental break through sin batttery technology.

>Seeing how African populations are extremely diverse and we're just seeing the extent of it I would refrain from making such definitive statements.

Finding a subpopulation within Africa with more Neanderthal DNA would not overturn the the fact that African populations in general have less of this DNA than elsewhere.
> A few more GW of nuke plants under construction would make exactly zero difference,

Yes, it takes awhile. This is a problem we should be working on! And "it won't help for awhile" isn't great justification for not doing something forever.

> but would suck up dollars that could otherwise be spent building out wind and solar that would produce immediately.

Already argued against with no objection by you.

> their power would then be unable to compete on price with wind

I do not think it is feasible for California to deploy ~6x as much wind as we have now. And we might need significantly more than that (overprovisioning for reliability, increased nighttime demands).

> storage

Again, we have no clarity that grid-scale storage using batteries is realistic or sustainable, even assuming doing it with new technologies like smelting iron.

We simply need to be betting on everything to get through this. Solar-thermal probably doesn't win either, but we should absolutely be doing more of it than we are now.

> More likely, they would be cancelled first.

Even if one cedes your point, and some capital costs need to get written down, so be it. You still get the power. The operating costs of nuclear are cheap: it's the capital costs that are problematic.

France proves the point: the CO2 intensity of energy production in France is significantly lower than neighboring states that have bet heavily on renewables. And this was done with comparatively ancient technology. If France got it done in the past, why can't it be done now?

I'm going to tack on my non-positive and potentially nonconstructive opinion here.

This is absolutely frivolous and a problem looking for a solution. It _is_ a modern replacement for `ls` in that it fulfills the creator's aesthetic desires for the program and solves none of the issues present with the original (in which there are close to zero).

That is something I wouldn't have thought I'd hear one day ;-)
Have you read Rovelli’s work? As I understand it, Relatonal QM essentially says that there is no “FTL”’communication, because any effect of entanglement involves all of the “participants” exchanging information, and until they have done so, using sublimal communications, the entanglement is not resolved.

I’m using quotes to denote that participants are just the things involved, not necessarily people/observers.
> Which should autocomplete/hint while writing code

It does not. Parameter types and alternate parameter names are ignored by Xcode autocomplete.

If you want to use init(from:), you have to already know that it exists and does something good. Typically, you only find a method like that by looking at the Obj-C header. And that method is declared in the NSPasteboard header, not NSURL.
There's a lot written in the Weibo post that is not about the coersion. The coersion does not seem to be the main point of the quite long post? Is that accurate? The discussion here seems very focused on a small part of the post.

This is definitely true, especially the further a culture is from your own. Japanese culture especially has all sorts of features that will whooosh! over the heads of most people reading those books in translation. It's not that you won't enjoy a book in translation, it's just that you're never getting 100% of what a native will get it from it. We have to just accept that. We don't have enough hours in our lives (right now) to study a language to native level and live in that culture to native level simply to enjoy a book.

What I can tell you is that if you save a file with 'AA"A,"AA""A","A"A"A' (excluding the surrounding single-quotes) and then double-click to open in Excel, you get 3 cells with the exact same values. Furthermore, if you run `echo 'AA"A,"AA""A","A"A"A' | xsv select 1,2,3` you again get the same 3 values. For people working with CSV, it's far more likely that the user cares more about consistency with Excel than consistency with some python lib or with Google sheets-- neither of which are used much, compared to Excel, in the worlds where CSV tends to reside (at least in my experience)

I feel like every one of these should have a "reverse" effect to correct the bias, for the reasons people believe them are sometimes closely related and if a few things were modified the belief would turn out to be right.

For example the gambler's fallacy is very closely related to bayesian inference and I suspect that's why a lot of people confuse the two. It'd be very helpful if that was pointed out next to each box.
Agreed. Dockerfiles beat ansible scripts which in turn beat that-bash-script-that-PXE-ran. Skaffold and kubernetes are amazing tools, but just tools.

So much easier to be cynical about new tools than to investigate and understand the pros and cons.
My experience with getting started with any embedded system, even if I am programming in C, is that it will have a steep learning curve unless someone in the community already went through this and published a how-to.

It would be multiple orders of magnitude more difficult, and for all practical purposes impossible. You’re drastically underestimating civilization’s historic reliance on coal.

Also, fwiw you don’t get hydro electric power from the ocean. Hydro power is from water falling. Tidal power is a thing but it’s not easily achieved.
You have several toys. The purpose of software isn't to optimize for an interesting use case you have devised for your toys it's for actual machines to provide useful work and engaging play. Faster file access for limited files is accomplished by

All of these are broadly applicable and effective to the other 99.9% of actual devices.

In 4 years nuclear weapons went from theory to testing the first bomb. $20 billion spent in that time to construct an entire nuclear industry. The largest building in the world, K-25, was built in 2 years with 25000 workers and employed up to 50000 in the surrounding area. That's the level of commitment I'm talking about.
Lots of people pointing out that Rust isn't very ergonomic on embedded platforms. IMO one huge issue is how verbose the syntax needs to be.

Look at some of the cases in the article, such as:

let mut dp = pac::Peripherals::take().unwrap();
dp.RCC.ahb2enr.modify(|_, w| w.gpioaen().set_bit());

In C that would be:

RCC->AHBENR2 |= RCC_AHBENR2_GPIOAEN;

Okay, you only have to take ownership of the Peripherals object once, but what about when they want to set a UART register in a function? Rust wants mutable pointers to have a trail of ownership outside of 'unsafe' blocks, so now we need:

pub fn setup_transmission(regs: &mut R, [...])
where R: Deref<Target = pac::usart1::RegisterBlock> {
[...]
regs.cr2.modify(|_, w| w.stop().bits(config.stop_bits as u8));
[...]
}

This is a bit of a construction, in C(++) we can just do something like:

void setup_transmission([...]) {
[...]
USART1->CR2 &= ~(USART_CR2_STOP_BITS);
USART1->CR2 |= ((uint8_t)config.stop_bits << USART_CR2_STOP_BITS_Pos);
[...]
}

The Rust snippet seems like it would be safer in a multi-threaded environment like an RTOS, or in cases where interrupts might modify peripheral registers, but...there are so many syntactical details to remember.

I really tried to like embedded Rust, and I still think it compares favorably with the sort of C HALs that most chip manufacturers distribute. But the syntax seems to get in the way of quick simple access to peripheral registers.
Statistically speaking, if it happened on our planet, it can (and likely has or will) happen elsewhere. Given that there are approximately 700 quintillion planets in the observable universe, it seems sensible to expect it to be mathematically possible and even likely that it has also developed elsehwere.

For all we know, there were space fairing civilizations in or around Alpha Centauri. Maybe they were killed in a cataclysmic event a billion years before earth was formed?

I mean, in a twisted but also maybe vacuous way, the Matrix already exists in this form, as thousands of electrical engineers and millions of software engineers are being fed as reward for designing upgrades to the global computer system as it gains robustness, speed, but also power and control.
