"I think the mid-level machines are the best compromise...": This is totally true.

I repair our family appliances and low-level and mid-level ones are pretty easy to work on. High-level ones like Miele products and some Samsung products now usually have diagnostic ports, like OBD-II in cars, and some sensors can't be replaced without reprogramming the main board with a valid diagnostic tool.

The only two appliances I had problems with in the last five years were the two European front loading washing machines, a old low-level one who need a 20€ (from the scrapyard) main board every 2-3 years, the other is a high-level one that had two 100€ main boards in less than 8 years. Guess what kind of washing machine will be the next I buy.
I've already provided the substance. Now I'm just explaining that your grandiose denunciations are without substance.

Once more:

Asserting that a claim is "a superficial and biased interpretation" or "conspiracy ramblings", is not evidence. It's just a baseless opinion, and in terms of substance, the equivalent of name-calling - an attempt to appeal to people's emotions to manipulate them into believing something, instead of convincing them by presenting a logical argument.
Kakoune is built in C++. So bugs will sometimes manifest as segfaults. You could be doing some normal editing, press a sequence of editing commands that might trigger some code that may subtly wrong. Sometime later, when C++ code tries to write to memory that it shouldn't have, you will segfault.

In that respect this is true for any C/C++ application. Kakoune keeps fixing these issues as they come up.
I think he gave that as an illustrative point about the simplicity of Kakoune, rather than saying this specific example is why he uses it.

Sure POSIX shell scripting is a good skill to have, but I would hardly consider it good for a text editor to have that skillset be commonplace within their configuration language. Shelling out incurs a non-zero execution cost. For example with Bash, it is significantly slower execing out when using a builtin or parameter expansion will work just fine, especially with these types of quick text manipulation operations. And that's not even mentioning that you are literally starting up a new Bash process every time you want to do something semi-complicated in a Kakouine config. This doesn't just leave a bad taste in my mouth - it is also a giant waste of resources and causes initialization to be substantially slower compared to the alternative

It is also too easy to write poor shell scripts. It is too easy, even for experienced developers to sneak in GNUisms, and forget simple facts, like how Bash and especially Perl aren't guaranteed to be installed on all systems. Sometimes I also wonder: does Kakoune set `-o pipefail` or `-o errexit`? If somebody sets `ENV` and does something fishy, will that make my text editor unlaunchable? Behavior rooted in common semantics rather than heavy syntax (Bash, Perl) or micro-languages (Awk, Sed) make the overall experience much more pleasant. Especially if you do something like Neovim (Awesome, etc.) and use Lua for Config so you don't have to reinvent anything

> but listing Governors etc. of dependent territories at the bottom of the UK (Falkland Islands, Montserrat, Turks and Caicos Islands, Virgin Islands, Pitcairn) which, although they are quite small places, are more independent than Scotland and Wales.

This is largely an artefact of the UK's weird internal governance structure, which seems determined to leave everything as sui generis rather than have some kind of system. In the US or German or Swiss system the answer to "is this a state or federal power?" rarely depends on which state is asking.

(Yes the US has its non-states as well, DC and PR, which should probably also get regularized)

While I recommend Nietzsche's book, too (I think it's one of the most beautiful works written in German just from the perspective of language), I doubt his character has much in common with the original Zoroaster beyond the name.

I don't know that I am; you were the one to bring up the implicit “light travels in straight lines” assumption with your claim about ants on a flat table.

I would argue that it was implied before I first commented. Without any assumption about the way light moves, you can not answer visibility questions on spheres and desks. The first comment talked about a spherical earth and certainly assumed light behaves as commonly accepted, the response did not question this either. Only after it has been pointed out that the response was not valid, the behavior of light entered the discussion.

It depends how much distance you give the light. Shadows are noticeably blurry if your hand is close to the light source.

Use a point light source or account for the size and shape of your light source.

You're never going to get a situation where the air temperature is consistent enough for this; it varies by height (as does pressure). And, again, unless you can show me that “index of refraction” is a thing that applies to air, I'm not going to believe something as ludicrous as Snell's Law. (After all, isn't the speed of light a constant? The whole derivation rests on the assumption that it varies depending on the medium!)

Make up your mind. Does light move in straight lines or doesn't it? Does a medium influence light traveling through it or doesn't it? If, how? You questioned light moving in straight line, it is beyond me why you would now also question light moving not in straight lines. Or is it just the mechanism that you are questioning? And nobody claims the speed of light is constant, the speed of light in vacuum is constant.

And in order to cut this cat and mouse game short, just present your complete theory of how the world works upfront. There is no point in such a discussion if you keep changing what you believe or say every time an issue is pointed out.
> Unfortunately Wikidata's single-item-based view, coupled with inconsistent modelling across different countries, makes it really difficult to see what's missing or incorrect...

Wikidata modelling is a complete disaster: basically nothing has a solid, documented and maintained model, and no one appears to be working on it very much compared to the amount of poorly-modelled data being poured in.

I'm surprised anyone gets anything of use out of Wikidata. Which is an enormous pity, because it's got incredible potential. But that's what I thought 10 years ago, and it's not really got much better, except now there's so much data it times out more often then not unless you are lucky with your query optimization.
> What is the big difference between houses built in North America and Europe is that the European houses are built using concrete and masonry which give them a lot of thermal mass which is crucial to this kind of builds.

Here's a 500 sq. m. (5000 sq. ft.) house built with heating equipment that uses 1800W (the equivalent of a hair drier):

You do not need concrete† and masonry to make homes efficient. Switching from using 2x4s @16" off centre (OC), to 2x6 @24" OC ("advanced framing") would allow for less wood use, less thermal bridging, and more cavity space for insulation.

† It should be noted that concrete creates a lot of CO2 emissions, as does baking bricks. Growing wood on the other hand is a way to sequester carbon.

I think Socrates is only known from Plato's writing and possibly a rhethorical device.

I'm only interested in the origin and meaning of the sokratic paradox and am hopeful that it has a prehistory. Did you know that οὐκ, which may be translated as "not", is composed of (un-) + ever + what (a pattern also seen in Maltesen for negation), so one of the associated quotes could be read as "I know ever-what knowing". English and German wikipedia present this slightly differently, it is confusing. See wiktionary yourself for the alleged etymology https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CE%BF%E1%BD%90%CE%BA
It irks me too; It irks me because this is dangerous: Whether this succeeds or fails tells you (or me) nothing about the values (or costs) of UBI, but it is awful convincing to people who don't understand the difference between UBI and welfare, and it is hard not to imagine someone against UBI (like a capitalist) actually endorsing these kinds of welfare-mislabelled-as-UBI; to specifically shit in the pool when everyone's looking and say see? UBI doesn't work.

At best, this is a way to waste some political capital of UBI supporters, and at worst, will be used to push UBI back another decade in Ireland. For this reason I think any communists and socialists who support UBI should refuse to acknowledge this as UBI, and use the vulgarism "welfare" instead exactly as you suggest.
Interestingly enough, as soon as the price of replacing it goes up (because you have less to spend), and an abundance of second hand devices entering your country, this model of repair suddenly becomes feasible. In some African countries you can get your TV fixed if a certain part fails, because the local repairman takes all working boards from broken TV sets and keeps an inventory. It's a business model that is unsustainable in more 'developed' countries. Here repairs are only done on really high-end devices.

Beside that, there is the convenience factor. I can buy a new washing machine, and have it here tomorrow, where they take the old one away, and plug the new one in if I want to buy that option.

You can't get that level service from a repairman. They can't compete with this business model. And even if they could, the chance of them being able to fix it is not 100%, whereas the new one is all but guaranteed to work (for as long as that lasts).
An interesting quirk of this, is that the description of the path of a particle under constant proper acceleration in special relativity is mathematically very close to that of a simple harmonic oscillator.

Now, just as you can use rotation in the complex plane (i^2 = -1) to describe a simple harmonic oscillator in 2D space,

x + iy = e^(it)

It's possible to use a rotation in the split-complex plane[1] (j^2 = 1) to describe the motion of a particle undergoing constant proper acceleration,

x + jt = e^(ajτ)/a - 1 [2]

This is because multiplying by e^(jτ) preserves the split-complex modulus (|x+jt|^2 = (x + jt)(x - jt) = x^2 - t^2), which is equivalent to the Minkowski norm. Expanding the above gets you,

x = cosh(aτ)/a - 1
t = sinh(aτ)/a

which are the more traditional expressions you would typically see.

[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-complex_number

[2]: There's a line of reasoning that allows you to write this down almost immediately, or in maths-speak makes it trivial, but I can't remember it at the moment. I spent a good deal of time thinking about this for a university assignment years ago in order to avoid spending 2 minutes doing an integral.

From the other UBI thread:

> Multiple studies of where basic income was tried in the real world found it to reduce work.

> For example, "Manitoba, Canada experimented with Mincome, a basic guaranteed income, in the 1970s. In the town of Dauphin, Manitoba, labor only decreased by 13%, much less than expected" [1]. There are plenty of others.

So not "any research". The research you think of are probably academic and/or pilot studies, which is absolutely not UBI.

But I think the parent wrote in a hurry. It should probably have said "without demands or restrictions".
The folks at the roads dept will not thank you for filling in a hole with random gravel; which will probably exacerbate the problem as well as requiring extra effort when someone properly equipped actually does arrive to do the job right. You might just ensure that the problem become permanent.

Its a great notion, "solve a problem you can touch to soothe your upset over online outrage," but there's something to be said for having all the ignorant quacking happen over trivial things with no impact, instead of our everyday environment.

A few days of "twitter mobs improving the city" would perhaps illustrate in an un-ignorable way the subconscious realization many of us already have: all that noise is just noise and no matter how entertaining it is will never be any more

Exactly. CGA has special point e_{inf} which is infinitely far away from any other regular point (with regular euclidian coordinates) and linear movements are rotations around that point.
> I think these challenges will get better over time but that is probably why governments aren't keen to make large improvements in energy-efficiency regulations.

This is probably true but it's still backwards. The state should want to improve the affordability of housing and should consult with industry on which measures can be introduced but ultimately the state must introduce the new regulations to help drive the market in the direction of continuous improvements to the housing stock's long-term affordability. I think if they shirk this then they simply aren't doing the job properly.
> Anyone who suggests otherwise comes across as somewhat delusional and a little self obsessed to me.

I have responded to repeated opening from several oil companies, including one last week, by saying that I have seen their employee brag about sponsoring genocides and war crimes, and more of us were hoping they would be prosecuted at ICJ in The Hague for that, their action on climate change, and their relentless campaign to deny their role. It was explicit that several of those crimes incurred the death penalty.

That’s not just the right thing to do: those companies will face economic difficulty very fast as neighbourhoods are destroyed by hurricanes, heat waves, fires, famine, droughts, that scientist unambiguously tie to global warming.

I don’t understand why hoping that humanity will survive makes me self-obsessed, but you don’t seem to be the right person to explain collective responsibility so I probably shouldn’t ask.

In the house I'm living in, which was built in a transition point between making sure houses don't leak and the realization that you then need active ventilation, I have the problem that the windows are not insulating enough, so I end up with water condense on the inside when it's freezing outside. If you are going to replace the windows, I would definitely buy triple-paned, unless you only have a small temperature difference.
> Critical thinking is just plain HARD.

I don't think so; but it does require training. If you graduate with a batchelor's degree, you're supposed to have demonstrated at least some skill in critical reasoning. Secondary school/high school, not so much.

Once you have the skill, it can become a habit; obsessive, even, the "default mode", easier than falling off a log. I find that I increasingly question everthing I'm told. Is this pundit incentivised to lie to me? Does what he's telling me even make sense? What about the things I tell myself? Am I deceiving myself? Do my own beliefs make sense? (Many of them don't, and I've had to make more than one jarring course-correction in my life)
I would be careful with such assumptions. Even most tolerant religions can end up with population doing quite significant warfare, genocides and other horrible crimes.

Sample case - buddhist armies conquering places like Ladakh in distant past. or a bitter merciless civil war between buddhist majority and hindu minority in Sri Lanka where both sides committed atrocities.

Islam is very tolerant at its core, but many religions are twisted badly from their original intents, power/violence craving individuals being able to find alternative interpretations to many well-intended ideas.
When did this whole “process node isn’t actually the size” nonsense start?
Yup it would trigger a restart -- that first link details some other options if restarting the workload is absolutely not an option. You can debug a copy, start a privileged pod, or jump on to the node and actually enter the namespace manually. At the end of the day all these containers are just sandboxed+namespaced processes running on a machine somewhere, so if you can get on that machine with the appropriate permissions then you can get to the process and debug it.

Of course, if you're in a tightly managed environment and can't get on the nodes themselves things get harder, but probably not completely impossible :)

I wouldn't quite put matzah in the same boat as "food that came out of hardship", as the exodus is a founding myth & even if partially based on true events these events happened about 3500 years ago.

If you copy&paste an object {"a": 5, "b": 6} or an array [1, 2, 3] from one JSON file to another (or from one location to another in the same file), then the structure of the result is unambiguously determined by the opening and closing delimiters {}[]. When you do the same with an indented YAML fragment, the indentation level at the source location might be different from the indentation level at the destination, wreaking havoc on the structure of the result. You have to manually adjust the indentation of the pasted fragment before auto-formatting the file, or else the information about the intended indentation is lost.

This is very broad and incorrect statement that I suggest you research more before stating as fact. Maybe start with libraries in the 19th and 20th century if you don’t know where to start.

> What you lose on arxiv is peer review.

Or, instead, you get a much larger audience reviewing your article, instead of the 2 to 4 reviewers involved in the paper publishing process :-)

You can get comments from critical and interested readers, you upload a new version of the paper to arXiv, and repeat the process until the article is ready for submission/publishing.

In other words: I think that an article on arXiv (on average and as a whole, individual articles may be exceptional) is subject to much wider and more extensive scrutiny and verification than the average article during the paper publication process.
