I think experts naturally tend to befriend each other, for the simple reason that they are the only one who can understand each other. And that even when there is rivalry in the ideas.

Maybe being alone at the top is good for the ego, and some people like that, but it is also boring. If you are at the top in some field, is is probably your passion, something you want to talk about all day, but no one understands you, you feel like you are talking to babies, repeating "obvious" things over and over. On the opposite, you can't find anyone to teach anything new to you, being a pioneer is nice, but if you get stuck, you can't count on anyone but yourself, and it can become tedious.

So, when you finally meet someone on your level, it is someone you want to keep. At last, you can talk with someone who understand you, who can provide a meaningful input, and even teach you a thing or two. And even if there is some rivalry, you have a worthy opponent, not an annoyance.
I have not read the details on the bill. However, a quick glance just reminds me of how counter productive and opposite of what our tax paid for research outlines as best practices for protecting data.

The NIST SP 800 series publications were paid for by our tax money and outline how encryption should be used for ALL. Not to mention sets standards for all of the intricacies that come with development, implementation and validation of strong algorithms for use in commerce, medical, federal, military and even GAH personal use.

My guess would because the president is also technically the chief law enforcement officer? Not saying I like it, but that’s how it is I think.

Impeachment is what exists to hold presidents accountable, and then voting is what holds the senate accountable, when they choose not to hold the president accountable.

I think the president can be prosecuted for criminal offenses though when they’re out of office, since what I said above would no longer apply.
Ah, this is interesting: so Postgres is effectively a 'backend' for you, in much the same way that e.g. InnoDB is a backend for MySQL[0]?

And you - or hypothetically the end user - could change the backend, e.g. to Cockroach for better horizontal scalability, while trusting that EdgeDB will only rely on Postgres's public API at least in meeting its own public API/contract?

[0] It's hard to make that analogy with Postgres b/c it only has one storage engine, but of course the separation still exists.

Just some heart flutters I hadn't had before that I in hindsight should have probably got checked out. They continued after I had the heart attack but have disappeared completely now. But lots of people also have them and they're completely benign so who knows really.

I was swimming hard 5x a week and didn't notice anything during that and the weekend before was hiking about the countryside carrying my kids on my shoulders so it feels a bit of a mystery. I'm pretty sure, again in hindsight that I had a milder attack/angina on the Thursday before which I chalked up as heartburn. Because it was during the night I sort of soldiered through it and fell asleep again. Which could have been very bad.

The actual heart attack I had whilst swimming and because I'm an idiot, just slowed down a bit and finished another 30 minutes of swimming. It only got very painful after I was chilling after my swim. I got out and dry heaved a couple of times in the bath room and walked home. Lay down, took some antacids, that did nothing and it was painful so got my wife to take me to the hospital. They seemed pretty skeptical that there was much wrong with me until they hooked me up to an EKG and then I got filled full of drugs and ambulanced straight into surgery. Ended up with a stent as the main left artery feeding the heart was totally blocked. It's an amazing experience as you're totally conscious for the surgery and get to watch whats happening on a monitor. The only really painful part was a lower branch getting collapsed, I got some morphine for that but am not 100% convinced it did much of anything. Instant relief once it was opened again.

On a more serious note, yes, the layoffs are bad and I am sorry to hear about it, but when I see people in comments posting about their negative experience with the service, I feel like it's relevant to balance it with my overwhelmingly positive experience with the service.
Plenty do criticize the outcome and with reasonable justification. Your reasoning doesn't take into account that when the nukes were dropped Nazi Germany had already unconditionally surrendered. Sure, it was too costly to invade Japan.. but in retrospect, blockading and sanctioning might have achieved the same goals without indiscriminately obliterating 200,000 innocents.
I just finished reading "Science Fictions" by Stuart Ritchie so I'm kinda super-sceptical now.

Not nitpicking, because I hope you're correct. That said, sales doesn't equal actual sustained usage.

Anecdotal: I run almost every day. Don't get excited, only 2 to 4 miles :) Early in the pandemic I saw plenty of new faces - often couples - out exercising. Some running, mostly walking. I don't see many of those faces any more.
ECS is a type of relational model, it has nothing to do with OO.

EDIT: just to make it clearer, both Simula Style OO and Smalltalk Style OO bundle data and behavior together. The Entity owns the Components and the System.

ECSs are much more like relational databases where an entity is a primary key, components are tables and systems are queries (that also mutate the database). The entity is subservient to the systems, not the other way around.

If somehow a relational database is in any way equivalent to OO then we've reached peak clown world as far as terminology goes.
Are there many reports of SSD failures on M1 Mac's?

I think this offhand and flippant, even if I personally believe what you're saying is true.

The largest issue with COVID was the over saturation of healthcare facilities, that's the only reason the UK locked down at all.

Oversaturated healthcare is a problem for people who have the worst effects of COVID and people who otherwise need beds, since their bed may be taken up by a person with COVID.

Vaccines lowering the spread of the virus may be true, not really going to argue that point, I'm more pointing out that vaccines do not halt the spread and thus a vaccine pass is a poor way of saying it won't spread.

Instead you just prevent the non-vaccinated from participating in society, when in reality we probably need people to remain unvaccinated due to underlying health conditions or to understand health complications that can arise through the vaccine and/or the virus when unmitigated.

I'm not claiming "anti-vax rights", though it might sound like that, it's just not very scientific to have no control population.
Pages doesn't allow for direct deployments. Has to go via git repo + webhooks.
We make static sites with our CMS and don't really want to integrate another thing into our workflow. Lots of CF and git API calls to automate the whole thing reliably. Thus, we're sticking with workers sites for now. Pages is an attractive offering, however.
I'm not losing hope that there are ways to travel faster than the speed of light that we haven't yet discovered, like bending the spacetime around the spacecraft, or wormholes, or something else of that kind. If various forms of rapidly ejecting matter out of a nozzle really are the only physically viable option for spaceflight, it would be an extremely disappointing universe.
I want to start an Apple competitor. I have a plan; it's interesting, fun and deep. But I lack skills (I'm a FED, not an OS or hardware engineer, and I've not done funding rounds and I only have cheap suits). If I exist, there's likely similar-minded folk out there.

I can’t believe there is going to be a serious conversation that this is vaccine caused vs. virus caused when we know the virus attacks many of these systems and were getting data back now that 12 month post infection has caused massive cardiac problems for unvaccinated.

By all means, prove it out…but it’s a complete delusion to start with the shot vs. the virus.
I wonder how much an orbital flight would cost if it were reduced to, say, the price of fuel plus ten percent.
Yes, we are talking about permanent, Earth-independent settlement in space. I didn't mean to imply that the settlements in the man-made structures would be Earth-dependent.

Atmosphere is possible in man-made structures.

Gravity can be simulated in man-made structures.

I don't believe water is particularly scarce, and it is reusable except for when it's used to create fuel.

With the Sun + plants a lot can be done.

Mars, on the other hand, has low gravity and is far away from the Sun.
Sure, it's "temporary" in the sense that if suddenly gas was cheap the price goes down because it is in fact set by the fuel for gas turbines. I don't expect that to happen for a long time, even though in theory it could happen this afternoon. Traders are already assuming Summer 2022 gas prices will be very high.

Without that it is only possible for prices to fall after we build a lot more wind turbines (projects out to 2025 are only a few Gigawatts extra, not enough) and storage (10GWh more storage in the UK would trim the top peak prices, but you'd need an order of magnitude more to make a difference on midday price trends) and the more effective that storage is, the less economic sense it makes without subsidy. If I buy electricity for £30 per MWh and sell it for £350 per MWh that'll quickly pay off my investment in storage, but if I buy it for £30 per MWh and sell it for £40 per MWh because we've stabilised prices, that's a long time to pay back my investment in storage.

Basing your figure on the consumer cost means in the current environment it just tells you what the price cap is, and that cap is set by government. It rises in April this year (to 28p per kWh) and is expected to rise again later this year, and then perhaps again next year. That cap doesn't reflect the actual cost of the electricity, the difference is why dozens (yes, dozens) of consumer electricity companies have gone bankrupt in the UK in recent months.

IIRC from other publications, they expect something between .26 and 1.1 Earth masses, so it may well be a reasonably big rock. Surface gravity, composition and atmosphere are also big factors in being Earth like - Titan has a lower gravity, but a much thicker atmosphere than Earth.

> a contract is only a contract if and only if it abides by contract law

That's true, but I don't quite see how that makes a contract the law. Someone who doesn't turn up to work isn't doing something illegal by dint of breaking their employment contract. IME, 'illegal' generally refers to breaking the criminal law, whereas I wouldn't say this even breaks civil law, sensu stricto. https://malesculaw.com/is-breach-of-contract-a-tort/

> Do you know if the immune response from the vaccine also causes that damage or not?

The vaccine appears to cause minor damage, but more likely from the spike protein than from the immune response. C.f. this article:

https://www.science.org/content/article/rare-cases-coronavir...

"She says she has preliminary evidence that vaccination can lead to microclots, although in most cases they go unnoticed and quickly disappear—an effect she and a colleague saw in their own blood and that of eight other healthy volunteers, which they sampled after their vaccinations."

The clotting issues would presumably come from the spike protein binding with your ACE2 receptors and downregulating them. Of course it's kind of moot, since empirically we know that getting the vaccine has a hugely positive expected value.
Depends what you mean by "the outcome" here.

If you mean developing the bomb, then fine.

If you mean dropping the bomb, then that seems pretty controversial.

I thought it was pretty well established that the USA knew Japan was willing to surrender, but dropped the bomb anyway?
Can you share the link? Would love to find out more :-)

Those arguments decontextualize the war and are self-defeating in that the Allies were willing to give Dresden and other cities a treatment not much different from Hiroshima in the end. At the scale of 2 bombs, the a-bomb was wasn’t a revolution in war, that wasn’t going to happen until solidly in the mid 1950s where there was a large supply of devices that were practical use.

Another factor was that the U.S. thought it was very possible we’d be going to war with Russia and was slow to demobilize so there was definitely the intent to intimidate the Soviet Union even that early.

I think you are slightly misunderstanding me or I did not put it very clearly. Of course there will be complexity inside functions in an FP style. I think I never said there would not be.

What I want to express is, that I can call every function of the program separately. I might have to put effort into preparing the call's arguments, of course, but I can in the end look at its inputs and outputs in a unit test, separate from the setup of an environment. The environment is basically in the arguments of the function.

The FP paradigm encourages people to avoid global state and state mutation, which helps with reducing the setup effort required to make the arguments for the function call.

In an OOP style program, I cannot simply call and test every part separately. I will have to create a kind of landscape of objects, which experienced the set of state mutations, which hopefully sets up an environment, in which I can test for one specific case of a method doing what it should do in that case. That is the moment, when the state diagram has already exploded into uncountable states, usually impossible to keep all in your head. It might also be the case, that the constructor of an object interferes with the actual setup, that you want to have. Then you will need to apply mutations to change the state to get there, doing more work than ideally would be necessary.

I see OOP maybe still in things like GUI. People are trying to get declarative there as well or functional, but there it seems like a normal thing to have some widget really change state, to avoid overhead of creating a new widget and re-displaying it. But maybe in the future FP will invade this territory as well somehow.

And yes, you can combine FP and OOP, but many common practices used in OOP are detrimental to the advantages FP can bring. I thing it would be best to limit OOP to parts of the system, where it makes sense and then wrap it in an API, which protects the rest of the system from having to use mutation all the time. The question becomes again "What is OOP?". Is it still OOP, if I work with structs and functions working on structs, instead of objects? Do we use Alan Kay's definition with message passing and each object being its own little machine? I think in Erlang we have some combination of it. Like Joe Armstrong said in a talk with Alan Kay, it is either the most or the least OO lang. Well maybe nowadays we have different candidates for that as well.

>It was such a shock to me to see that a committee of men could present a whole lot of ideas, each one thinking of a new facet, while remembering what the other fella said, so that, at the end, the decision is made as to which idea was the best---summing it all up---without having to say it three times.

Can we attribute this to the fact that in physics, everything can be validated mathematically? Hence less room for debate.

Indeed. If that's the case, the universe is an infinitely big and infinitely boring place.

And you don't need to leave your dear ones on Earth - just bring forks of them along you (chances are a fork of you will remain on Earth anyway).
That is wrong. The difference was how quickly Japan would lose the war after Germany was already a non-factor. The cost was how bloody the defeat would be and the calculation was that the bombs would result in fewer lives lost overall. Japan wasn’t going to win one way or the other.
