I made the leap from physical to software engineering several years back and the quality-of-life difference is night-and-day. Certainly there are software devs that would find a better fit in the physical engineering world, but I think most will be suprised by the drop in quality-of-life that they've been accustomed to. The poster above mentioned several items (that my experience fully concurs with) and I have a few more:

- Many jobs require travel; often with little to no advance notice. And you sometimes don't get to go home until the job is done. You know how devs joke about how hard it is to accurately plan a project? The same applies here too, but except the cost could be you stuck on the other side of the world, unable to visit family, until you reconcile the gap.

- Even lower upward mobility. There are still manager and project manager tracks most places, but VERY few have technical tracks that match. Oh, and if you choose the manager/project-manager path, expect to do zero technical work AND travel significantly more!

- Lower flexibility in expertise/duties. Most disciplines under "physical engineering" are highly regulated/mature and thus do not change much these days. One not-entirely-contrived example could involve industrial-scale boilers - any engineer working in this world has almost zero room for creativity/innovation, you are entirely bound to 50+ year old industry codes that are insurmountable. And if this is what you do for 10 years, you're going to have a terribly difficult time convincing another company to hire you to design gears or PCBs, etc.
Russia doesn't want to invade and take over Ukraine. Yes, they just want to create troubles in the Donbas region. Unlike Crimea, Donbas doesn't bring them any benefit, just more headaches. And of course, given the russian stories during the last five years, the media and their cronies in the governments want to wage a war there.

No, they give a linear lower bound for the number of digits you need to compute and show that the bound is tight for certain special numbers, but they don't have a polynomial upper bound for the general case.
Weird how the West progressed but many cultures hadn't even invented the wheel by the time of colonialism. Nice try with the pre-enlightenment & pre-colonialism whataboutism though.

Instances of cannibalism for reasons other than desperation or individual criminality are basically non existent in western culture after the 15th century, and were certainly not a staple of culture. This is even more true for things like human sacrifice. It's also completely false that cannibalism was more rampant in Europe than anywhere else. That's laughable. It was prolific in Africa, the Americas, Australia & New Zealand pre-colonialism, some parts of East Asia.

Meanwhile hundreds of thousands of human sacrifice annually were taking place among native Americans. Cannibalism was and is a regular part of many African cultures, and also was widespread among native Americans.

Some cultures are better than others. That's just a fact. And it's not just Nazis that are bad.
Most (all?) languages, Go included, also leave it up to the programmer to remember to use the result value, so I can't really sympathize with your point.

> However, considering Netflix uses FreeBSD on their edge nodes and has put a lot of work into the upstream to improve networking (among other things), it wouldn't surprise me if it's technically superior to the Linux stack.

Possible. But it's also possible that the founder of the team was a BSD person. You occasionally get cases where the preferences of one key person affects things in the long run. At this point I'm sure that they're baked in, because removing all that code would not be worth the effort too, so even if it was better when Netflix went online, that doesn't guarantee that it's still true today.

That being said, Linux is also used in a ton of places, including high network jobs. It would take a decent sized amount of evidence to convince me that all of those other places were wrong and basically only Netflix was right to use BSD in network heavy cases.

My suspicion is that either:

1. The difference is minimal to negligent, and not enough to justify mixed OS development

or

2. The difference is significant, but you have to be pushing your network much harder than most teams ever do for it to show up.
Would be interesting to see how US would react to Russia sending military troops into a neighboring country like Mexico or Canada at the request of their governments. Those countries would be threatened by the United States similarly or even more aggressively than the Russians have acted toward Ukraine.

US involvement in Ukraine is most likely going to make matters worse.
No I mentioned two ways it could be done better, it has to use different OS facilities. Of course you are right about the futility of trying to secure anything connected to the X server, a solution based on X11 will probably always have vulnerabilities.

That's what gets me about self-driving cars. The road is a very social space, and follows social rules. Pretty much all of the communication and norms happening on the road are social ones.

The thing that would convince me AGI is ready would be to play a convincing game of poker. Or join in on a conversation mid-way through, listen to it, and engage with it actively. Show that machines are able to pick up on social cues, understand them, and learn new ones. It's a high bar, yes, but it's in my opinion a prerequisite for a self-driving car that's able to share roadways with other cars, cyclists, and kids playing in the street.
> So in order for copyright to exist in the 21st century, it must be impossible for us to instruct computers to do anything.

This is not true. It could be enforced by courts and not by computers.

Courts are slower and more expensive, so they'll only be used for the most egregious violations. But that's fine. Those are the high value ones. You wrote some code or made a movie, Netflix wants to use it, Netflix has to pay you for it. Because Netflix is big and you can sue them.

> We cannot be allowed any control because we can easily subvert their business model.

The assumption here is that everybody wants to subvert their business model. For the RIAA that might be true, but we don't need the RIAA. They can lose. Specifically because they're crooks and nobody respects them.

But already right now I can find basically the entire Netflix catalog on BitTorrent sites, and still I pay them.

And look at Substack. You have people making content, the readers respect the writers, so they pay. In many cases even when the articles are available without paying or after only a short delay. Because the readers know they won't be created if the creator has to go dig ditches instead for money.

We should get rid of DMCA 1201 (prohibiting circumvention of DRM). We don't need to get rid of the law that prevents Google News from hosting the full articles on their own servers while stripping out the subscription links.

This is true, but I don't think it's likely that NATO would admit Ukraine. For example, look at Georgia's history of trying to join NATO. For over a decade now Georgia has been a huge ally of NATO and Coalition forces (e.g. in Afghanistan) and has tried to join NATO, but the reality is that if NATO were to allow Georgia (or Ukraine) to join NATO it could precipitate a huge armed conflict with Russia.

That being said, it's also possible for NATO to form strategic alliances with countries bordering Russia without explicitly making those countries NATO members. Therefore I think it's in Russia's interest to exert pressure on these countries and make it explicit that partnership with NATO and the West may lead to armed conflict.

Picture rolling a ball up a hill. If you don't roll it fast enough it will roll back down before reaching the top. If you roll it too fast it will go over the top and roll down the other side. Just right, and it will stop at the top of the hill. But being at the top of the hill, it's an unstable orbit, and any small drift will end up with the ball eventually rolling back down the hill. That's why occasional course corrections are required, and why the lifetime of the satellite is determined by the amount of fuel it has.

>Interesting. I feel similarly, but I would place my joy in exploration rather than discovery. I'm not interested in discovery, where I take only the rules/components and try to discover the best plays and strategies. I don't have the time or the inclination to endure the dead ends and plays of failed strategies. (Some people love that, they want to find the best plays themselves; not me.) I want a map, a guide, then my joy is in taking that map, and applying it to the game state I'm in.

I feel this really depends on who you are playing with. If everyone is new, I don't mind exploring the strategies. You can learn something and still get a good game. If one person knows the game fairly well, it's sometimes good to play half a game with open hands (if there is secret info) while the one person teaches and gives hints. It's definitely no fun if one person knows a lot of the game and trounces everyone.
People are already starting to debunk various bits and pieces of this article.

For my part, let's look at Eric Clapton--the article claims that he has "lost the use of his hands almost completely" after getting the AZ vaccine. To be fair, the article does mention that he's had progressive peripheral neuropathy, but it doesn't mention that he's had it at since at least 2013 [0], it had gotten much worse in 2016 [1] and that by 2017 it had gotten so bad that he was bound to a wheelchair [1]. Did the AZ vaccine make his symptoms worse? I don't know; but minimizing the fact that he had a serious and apparently progressively worse symptoms for at least eight years before the vaccine seems a little disingenuous.

The article also doesn't mention that Clapton was extremely vocal in his early opposition to Covid restrictions, has released at least three "anti-lockdown" protest songs including ones that compared lockdowns to slavery. [3] He's also repeated the "mass formation hypnosis" conspiracy theory. [4] It really feels like he's gone down a wormhole here.

As a bonus, here's an very recent interview of Clapton. [5] While his nerves may be so damaged that he can no longer play guitar, claiming "lost the use of his hands almost completely" seems to mischaracterize things as well, seeing as how he uses his hands throughout the interview.

> Do you have evidence that all of the founders thought slavery was categorically evil?

Not all, but many of the founding fathers were strong abolitionists: https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/07/03/america-founding-father...

> From my perspective that provides convincing evidence that the supreme entity described in those books does not provide a reasonable example of “good”.

Christianity was a primary catalyst of abolitionist sentiment. Virtually every culture believes in their own specialness--European Christians are unusual in their almost fanatical commitment to equality of all before God's eyes. This was not lost on pro-slavery advocates of the time. The Vice President of the Confederacy, for example, condemned abolitionists as religious zealots, while portraying slavery as being consistent with science: https://www.battlefields.org/learn/primary-sources/cornersto... ("Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth. This truth has been slow in the process of its development, like all other truths in the various departments of science. It has been so even amongst us. Many who hear me, perhaps, can recollect well, that this truth was not generally admitted, even within their day. The errors of the past generation still clung to many as late as twenty years ago. Those at the North, who still cling to these errors, with a zeal above knowledge, we justly denominate fanatics.")

Remember, this is the 19th century, before we understood anything about genetics. The notion that all people were really equal, despite e.g. the vastly different technological development of Europe versus Africa, was a religious or at least moral belief. It wasn't a fact you could prove with the science of the time.
>To be honest, I don't think Russia is in the wrong here, there is no real reason why Americans should even be involved with this country right up on the Russian border. How would Americans feel if we lost the cold war and Russia started trying to dominate Mexico and Canada?

As a former citizen of Czechoslovakia I could not disagree more. Our countries are still recovering from decades of communism and Russian "help" and to this day Russia tries to exert influence over us. I hope Ukraine joins NATO one day.

Svelte Code of Conduct
The definition of RunLength looks like two functions for uncompressing a list, given that you already have all the data from within the compressed list. The output of the function is a type containing the uncompressed data.

The input parameters to the "functions" appear to be data elements from within the compressed list. Because that's what they are. But this wasn't obvious to me.

I think the weird bit is when the tags and fields within a datatype are represented using the same syntax as a function's name and parameters. This punning threw me off. I suppose the same is true in Haskell, but you don't write type constructors using '->' between the fields, so this punning is less obvious. (And Haskell's syntax for product types is itself less familiar to me than a 'struct' definition in a C-like language.)

> I would actually bet that average Russian and American people probably have a lot more in common

Yes definitely. Thing is, when someone writes "Russia" but in fact means "Putin and his men", or writes "China" but means "the CCP",

then I'm afraid this pushes the people (ordinary citizens) living in those places,

away from the people in Europe and the US.

Because when you write "Russia" and "China", they likely think about that, as including them -- they'd feel that anything critical, was criticizing them too.

Whilst if one writes "Putin and his men", then, ordinary people living in Russia will clearly see that you don't have anything against _them_ -- that you might even be their friend. And maybe one day they (the people in Russia) and the West together can try to do something about Putin.

When you copy-paste a massive quote from someone else, prefacing it with "...I encourage you listen to this clip from Dr. Peter Doshi, a senior editor at The British Medical Journal, a highly prestigious medical journal:", I'm going to say it's part of the article.

Sure, if you examine the chart closely, like I did, you see that it's not really saying what the author is telling you it's saying. Then if you look up the actual research study (which you'll have to type the url because the referenced links are also screenshots) you see that it definitely doesn't say what the author says it does. But how many people are going to do that? As the author is well aware, not many.

I see the "/s" but seriously you can go to nearly any auto parts store and buy parts for an ICE vehicle. There are people that change their own oil, brakes, water pumps, etc. to save on labor. Most auto repair shops can do the majority of maintenance and since there are multiple third-party part vendors you have options on price, performance, etc. This combined with 5 figure battery replacement costs and the inconveniences of charging networks will keep US car buyers from "falling in love" with EV's for a long time.

That's interesting because it also explains why I was going to say I do like having from first. When trying to reason about a query, I mentally go through the following:

1. What tables are being pulled from? This speaks to the potential domain of the query.
2. What data is being selected (I can now know what is or isn't being pulled from the aforementioned tables...)
3. What operations, aggregations, groupings, etc. are being performed to work on the pulle data

Of course from vs select ordering is completely arguable, but my thinking process seems to follow that of the auto complete--in other words that my cognitive load of looking at the select statement is lessened when I know from what the columns are being selected.

It also follows (at least to me) the mental process of writing the query. First look at the tables, then decide what columns, then decide what functions to apply.
