> Besides, many scientists look at code as a competitive advantage so in this case publishing the code will be removing the competitive advantage.

One of my most cited papers is a relatively uninteresting one we wrote for a conference competition. But we have code so it is easy to compare your alternative approach to us. That means citations.

So it can work for your benefit as well.
Well, I mean ofcourse. They are just "restoring" the democracy

So how are we determining Mary's age during these events? Seems pretty speculative :)
That's so true! The thing with "th" I see is that we Brazilians speak it as "fink" (fɪŋk) or "sink" (sɪŋk) rather than the traditional "θɪŋk". But I find that's mostly a pedagogical problem, with teachers also doing it and students copying. However after quick explanation and practice, most can learn (I think I did :).

I'd argue that RAII is pretty well baked into C++.

For Rust, it's the "Drop" trait that you add onto things which ultimately causes RAII behavior.

You don't need to do it as much with rust as a lot of the reasons for wanting RAII (memory management) are simply handled by the language.

For Rust, it's sort of the "Pit of success" the easy thing to do is the right thing to do. Whereas in C++, it's pretty dang easy to new something up and fail to correctly delete it.
How could I miss this ? Why did teh interwebz not light up with the news ?
Thank you for this, I appreciated reading it. It's depressing to see how many people's vision of the world is fundamentally negative and opposed to letting human beings live freely and flourish according to their own hopes and dreams.

That being said, I think the problem is that the pro-freedom side hasn't put forth a sufficiently convincing argument. Ridiculous Elon Musk fanboys should not be the representatives for freedom. We shouldn't be noted for contradictorily turning a blind eye to bailouts and rebates with expropriated money, as well as to police violence towards minorities, and for seemingly being more concerned with taking the last scraps of support from the poor rather than opposing the kleptarchic defence contractors and so forth.

We need to make the case that a freer society would mean less money taken from the poor and given to the rich, and less opportunity to get rich on monopolies enforced by state power, such as inappropriately excessive patent rights and copyrights, which are not just intuitively morally unfair but also antithetical to the principle that a competitive market provides a selection pressure for better ideas. If we can't put forward a convincing argument and be consistent in our principles, it's our own damn fault and we should quit whining about it.
I think they recently changed the tos to blacklist all videos regarding hacking and similar stuff
Yeah true. I have no idea how to start getting sensible training data and losses for this problem.

Training a kid to takes years, hopefully this can be sped up a bit ;)
That's one route - that I also favour - but my favourite idea would be to give everyone access to the tools that FB et al use for moderation. If I don't want to see porn/politics/bots/cussing/sport/K-pop… then I want to be able to choose that, not the platform. They have all this data and the ability to shape the feed, give me that power. No need to stomp on free speech, no need to clumsily moderate.

Of course, people with power rarely like to share it, and they certainly don't want a free flow of information that they don't control. There's the rub.
Alcohol is really bad for your mind. I don't think there is sufficient evidence, that heroin is worse than alcohol for your brain.

She couldn't have been a functional alcoholic for 25 year if alcohol were an illegal substance.

There are plenty of people who have a normal life on methadone or heroin if it is provided to them.

As already stated, if you are an addict, getting the substance is the highest priority. Making it harder to get just makes them use more of their resources to get them.
They write it on their web page. This makes people who are “not fascist, just anti-anti-fascist” out themselves.

If you're writing a program to solve Wordle, you're already cheating in some sense.

Whether or not you use the target word list, it's important to recognize that there *are* two separate lists: you can guess almost any plausible 5-letter word, even bullshit Scrabble words like SOARE. But the target word will always be a relatively common word, because the game is designed to be winnable for ordinary English speakers. Honestly the word list is still a little harder than I would have picked for a broad audience; eg REBUS the other day was on the obscure side.

It's also worth noting that the target word will never be a 3- or 4-letter word pluralized by adding -ES or -S. This is something that you could notice simply by playing for a couple weeks. These seem to have been excluded manually or by a regex: it does have plural words of other forms, and it has words with other endings like -ER or -ING.

Publishing messy code that's hard to run is a million time better than no code at all.
I agree, which is why I feel it's worthwhile to expand one's vocabulary, and expose yourself to a variety of communication styles. It's so subtle, it's hard to tell how much your choice of words influences your thinking, or how you process the world around you. More tools in the language toolbox can literally be mind-expanding.
Presumably the solution is to scale up the supply of renewable energy. Another solution is to start making things more energy efficient. There's a lot of untapped efficiency out there.
I think this could be done much better by putting a very restrictive license like GPLv3 / AGPL and then in the README putting in that I don't support this project at all and ignore everything associated with wherever you are hosting it.

Using this license would actually make me suspect that your results aren't even valid and I don't trust many experiments that don't release source code.

Sometimes you are downvoted here for having a different opinion. See any crypto thread. However in your case it’s because you added nothing to the discussion. If that is your preferred way of communicating reddit might be better for you.
The parent's loyalty isn't to the company, it's to their direct reports (I assume). After you've been shielding people from the shitstorm for long enough, it can feel very difficult to fold up your umbrella and leave.

Of course, companies know this and use it as one of the many tools to suppress wages.

Sure, albeit with the exception of a few polar settlements. (IIRC, small thought those are, the required reduction in emissions is such that we do still need to care about them in aggregate).

Indeed, I expect the battery market to grow as fast as the factories can keep up, and for some fossil mining workers to switch to other minerals important for renewable power (not all of them, because we don’t burn the stuff when we’re done so demand ought to be lower when the energy transition is complete).

But the point remains that the details do matter. This stuff may, like code, even remain experimental until it’s obsolete.

I'm in an awkward situation because I'm in R&D, so every job I've had uses DS/A style stuff intensely every day. The engineers I hire are mostly there to help me with my work, so they need the DS/A style stuff. I don't really care about someone having a college degree, but they do need a level of maturity equivalent to an upper-division algorithms course to be productive/useful.

It is odd that jobs which don't require this knowledge test for it.

Congratulations on figuring out how to keep your son’s data out of the hands of Google at such a young age. What a blessing that will be!

Many of the folks here have tried Degoogling with less success.
The trend is in the direction of requiring open code and data. There's been a big movement that direction in economics, and most fields will likely also move that way, so it's more a question of whether you should do it now or in the future.

For the journal I edit, authors are required to include the code and data with the submission. The code and data are available along with the paper if it's published. We do replication audits of some papers to make sure you can take the materials they've included and reproduce every result in the paper. If not, the conditional acceptance changes to rejection. I've had cases where reviewers found errors in the code, so I rejected the paper.

On the argument that it's a competitive advantage: what does that mean? You should be able to claim results but not show where they came from? That's not science.

Keep in mind that this is a "source available" requirement, not an open source requirement. It is a matter of transparency. You have to let others see exactly what you did.
Over the past many years, the "record" button was disappearing, and now the "play" button is taking a hit!

I'm still holding on to an old Asus USB blu ray drive, although I haven't used it much lately, and I got an old NAD C715 receiver, that has USB recording, so I can record my FM radio shows, or anything really being input (streaming audio), straight to MP3 so I can keep the shows. (yes, I know about podcasts, but not all of them are available).

Of course, the NAD was limited to 117 minutes per mp3, and when I contact them, they said it was due to memory issues, but I think it was due to people wanting to burn it on a CD.

Either way, the analog world is still so much easier to play and record anything for audio at least, and it looks like the video world is moving away from physical media. Is 8K blu ray even going to happen? If not, it's all digital streams from this point on.
They do this annually and are raising around 200k € every year for help against cancer. One could see this as a good outcome, but they made donations before the krebs story. They just started to talk about it after the story and that was something that was they didn't want to. One rule of pr0 is that you don't talk about the pr0. That was a good rule. Pr0 was like the internet was around 1999. A place to be together and having fun. A place to talk about everything. A social place, not those cancerous monsters that call themselves social networks these days.
Now they have to worry about what outsiders think about them and that slowly kills everything that was great about it.
Great! Thank you for clarification.
> why does that not also apply to the physical interface to the systems that allow a more "pure" form of ownership?

Maybe it does. My argument is that the best we can possibly do wrt "ownership" is this mathematical ideal. Maybe a more natural conclusion from this argument is that ownership of any form is moot. The optimistic interpretation of this is that one day we'll end up in some kind of star-trek-esque universe where no one wants for anything. The pessimistic interpretation is that we are all ultimately slaves to the powers that be.

> rewriting everything in Rust, or refactoring existing code to take advantage of RAII?

Oh, refactoring existing C++ code is easier, hands down.

You can, for the most part, keep your C++ algorithms exactly as is with little rewriting. Rewriting in rust may force you to totally rethink your approach (or use a lot of unsafe, or write really inefficient code).
>No. This is the issue. Markets solve a different problem. If I like A better than B and you like B better than A, this has to be taken into account for the eventual solution to be Pareto-optimal.

>You would need to set prices for all of the hundreds of thousands of goods and services a modern economy produces, which requires access to an amount of information that no entity can possibly handle. It's not just computational power, it's a fundamentally intractable problem that is only solvable if you make wild assumptions.

That just isn't how cybernetic planning was ever designed to work, so I agree with who you responded to that it's a case of only considering a naïve approach.

Almost all proposals have a consumer goods market - others have a functional equivalent. You let consumers compete to buy products, and in doing so you don't have to set the prices and predict what people like more - you just let them choose.

Markets under a capitalist system attempt to use prices on the other hand, by having the capitalist decide where to invest his capital for maximum return, to decide how things should be produced. This is a terribly inefficient solution computationally because you are going through hundreds of layers of indirection and noise, and actively hiding a lot of the relevant information. In doing so, most of the necessary information for production is constrained into low information price signals, which causes endless issues.

> Come on, this is a total charade. Don't want to compare it to the US? How about Japan? Or any other first-world country of your choice? Or how about West and East Berlin?

Firstly, you have to realize that the Soviets did not do cybernetic planning. They didn't continuously integrate realtime information or production and demand. They did their central planning in yearly increments using pen and paper. The USSR started off much worse than any first world country, even Japan

The fact that even though it was planned so poorly using such inefficient techniques and with such low responsitivity, and still managed to perform better than most of the world and compete with the best capitalist economies, is in my opinion a good signal that the advantages of central planning are considerable, even if with the horrible implementation of the Soviets, they were ultimately outbalanced by their issues.

I've been wondering about this as more and more services are asking me to do it via this same "Plaid" service. (I don't do it. I can't use some services. Cashapp mobile didn't want to let me withdraw cash without it; I figured out a way to on cashapp desktop).

Plaid is a company/service literally built around asking people to supply their bank username and password to a third party. (who then stores them (in cleartext, right?) for continued use!) I find it pretty astonishing.

(It's also literally training users to be phished, no?)

I'd be curious to see an article about it, with some details and context.

This is a great finding. If I were on one of the teams developing an EBV vaccine (e.g. Moderna) I would be a little worried about the possible knock-on effects of the vaccine as a result of this study. MS is an auto-immune disorder, so it's not out of question that an EBV vaccine could kick-start the same auto-immune reaction that causes the MS-EBV link.

An alternative optimistic scenario is that the EBV infection itself leads to an increased likelihood of MS (as opposed to the EBV-triggered autoimmune response above). Either way, a clinical study of an EBV vaccine would not detect a relationship to MS unless it ran for 5-10 years.

"We'll take cut."

How that will work? If someone is using display advertising, how the cut can be calculated? Or do you force to have your script included in header that delegates such requests?

Further, someone taking PayPal or other payment processing, will you be hooking yourself in middle by having your own SDK for monitization I suppose?

Might work or might not, basically the apps that make significant amount of money don't won't to give away 5% of their revenue.

This is true, but we shouldn't be encouraging people to reach for new/delete these days; auto Foo = std::make_unique<Foo>(args); does the right thing in a surprisngly large number of cases. It's not the only tool available, but it's a really damn good one.

Publish the code or attach it as a listing, so that in 10, 15 years someone who finds your paper can find the code, too. When everything is "hot" and "live" it can be easy to reach out and get something, but when you're digging through papers and code that have been abandoned for decades, it's nice to find source.

Myself and co-authors argued here https://www.nature.com/articles/nature10836?proof=t%2Btarget... for open computer code in science.

"Scientific communication relies on evidence that cannot be entirely included in publications, but the rise of computational science has added a new layer of inaccessibility. Although it is now accepted that data should be made available on request, the current regulations regarding the availability of software are inconsistent. We argue that, with some exceptions, anything less than the release of source programs is intolerable for results that depend on computation. The vagaries of hardware, software and natural language will always ensure that exact reproducibility remains uncertain, but withholding code increases the chances that efforts to reproduce results will fail."

It doesn’t matter. If they aren’t holding your deposits then the underlying bank would place the hold and they must follow the banking regulations.
