Turing completeness is a theoretical construct that ignores that errors in execution inevitably occur during a sufficiently long program, due to the second law of thermodynamics (entropy must increase in a closed system). Any realization of a Turing complete engine eventually fails. That's different than halting, though, because it doesn't answer the question as to whether the program of the machine eventually reaches a halt instruction, when properly executed.

I clicked on the link but it doesn’t seem to claim that he is representing anyone whose account was frozen for a donation. He states some of his clients are truck drivers/owners involved in the protest.

Moreover, a reply to his tweet is a statement from the police that says they provided a list of truck drivers and “influencers”, not donors, to the bank. https://twitter.com/rcmpgrcpolice/status/1495813180983021575...
You chose a funny example of "ever expanding bureaucracy", given that the patriot act is gone as of December 2020: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriot_Act
The obvious reason being that the government in question is democratically elected and the ones that (probably) fall into “countries we don’t like” aren’t democratically elected?

> I was about to add ignoring population growth to my comment because developed countries are generally close to replacement-level fertility rate and I don't think having more children is part of or current lifestyle.

actually they are generally below replacement level, which (if not augmented by immigration) would itself lead to a collapse as people leave the workforce and there are fewer laborers to replace them. But people think we manage this labor shortage with technology, which leads us back to the requirements for more energy and capital development to maintain the same lifestyle.

> Also lifting everyone to the living standard of highly developed countries will require significant amounts of resources and significantly increase energy consumption, this however is also more like a one-time expense and I would therefore ignore it, too.

why do 'highly developed' countries need vastly greater resources to maintain this living standard if its a one-time expense? the greater standard of living your referring to requires continually expanding quantities of inputs in terms of energy and labor, aka 'economic growth'.

> How does dependence on technology demand growth?

its more related to the specific technologies we've chosen to build our society upon, but this technologies generally depend on these improvements to sustain themselves. For example, electric cars require batteries which require raw materials to be mined, recycling batteries requires chemical industry that is predicated on all sorts of inputs, themselves coming from nonrenewable sources.

No, he's arguing that he'd prefer it not be if that means breaking support for end user apps which is what the OP is arguing for.
This is the problem with trying to please power users. There is no monolithic bloc of them. They all want different things.

I feel like the main problem with exceptions isn't the performance, it's the non-local control flow and the fact that it makes enumerating all possible failure modes almost impossible. IMO the only way that exceptions could be justified (other than being the status quo) is if they were much faster than Result/Maybe types. Performance parity doesn't make them worthwhile!
I didn't know communication networks could be described with resistors. Are inductors, diodes, and voltage sources also relevant? How far does this go and why would you model networks this way?
A good percentage of our outbound emails end up in Spam folders, Promotion inboxes, or heavily delayed. It might be simple to implement send a login link via email and convenient for those when it works, but when it doesn't, it doesn't. So the best is to have traditional passwords and an optional "send me a login link". If they get one of those two working, then great. But you still have to deal with password management / security / reset / etc. Nothing is trouble free.

I have a different question. What does it matter if I am uninformed on those two topics? What does it matter if I am uninformed on most topics? There are (almost) never any single issue items on the federal ballot. On local or state ballots there are single issue items maybe once every two to four years. I can inform myself on those topics or I can cast an uninformed vote. Again, I would consider an uninformed vote to be a better outcome than a misinformed vote.
Counter-conterpoint: I've worked on two applications C++ which we had to "de-exception", as exception handling was taking >25% of the time when we profiled.

You could argue we were using "too many exceptions", but to me it's the obvious way to unwind in C++.. except it's not fast enough, so we had to switch to a proto-Rust (this was before Rust) style system.

Regarding Forensics - if you were going to work in computer forensics, I did that for a bit after grad school. I didn't last 6 months: aside from a couple corporate espionage cases, everything else was child porn/abuse.

I can relate to the author, even if I didn't frame my current position as end-of-career. I'm far from being in college.

Some lawyers will do an initial consult for free. You can talk with them for say thirty minutes to determine if it's worth their bother to take the case.

There are lots of situations where a letter from a lawyer gets results without you needing to do anything more beyond that. If you can afford to pay a lawyer and it won't cost more than the value of the thing you seek, I think a letter from a lawyer is a terrific idea.

We don't disagree and we've heard from non-technical managers and designers that Constructor has the potential to be simply "a better Trello for everyone". This is probably because despite being designed for software teams we try to serve all roles equally well, i.e. make sure we create an outstanding UX for the non-developers on those teams. Something we've seen happen at a lot of places is a "tool schism" where part of the team (design or PM) will cleave off and use Trello or Basecamp and leave the devs to Jira because they find it unusable, but the devs need their Jira for various good reasons. Constructor is designed to prevent tool schisms.

Your 80% observation is if anything an underestimate; there's almost nothing in Constructor that makes it dev-specific beyond the GitHub and devops integrations that are mostly absent if you don't activate them, and would be easy for us to make totally optional. This surprised us when we realized it, because we are quite devoted to serving software teams specifically.

The operators of most of those satellites for the US, which I find most people haven't actually heard of:

Like you mentioned, they do use their capabilities for some things other than just GEOINT:

>In addition to using GEOINT for U.S. military and intelligence efforts, NGA provides assistance during natural and man-made disasters, aids in security planning for major events such as the Olympic Games,[9] disseminates maritime safety information,[10] and gathers data on climate change.[11]
It's not a good choice. The Canadian government still doesn't understand the internet. There should be no obligatory private intermediaries between a citizen and the government no matter online or offline.

It should provide an online identity service, just like it already provides offline government-issued IDs (e.g. passports) without involving banks or other private institutions.
Also, to be clear, those incentives aren't coming from within the bureaucracy. For example, let's say that a program tries to do something and it totally doesn't work. A news story about this will be roughly the same if $10,000 is spent as if $100,000 is spent as if $1,000,000 is spent.

That creates an incentive never to label anything a failure and just keep pumping good money after bad - that's how to avoid the negative article.

Sure, but the point is that providing factories requires extra work and consideration, so a lot of C++ classes instead lean on the default option of a constructor. Rust's removal of that forces the class designer to choose.
for ones that throw an exception for 1% of a unit computation, perhaps yes.

But as has been noted, that's a lot of failures and exceptions may not be the appropriate mechanism to deal with this type of failure.
(Exceptions are bad, full stop. It should all have been monadic all along, with Maybe/Either/Result.)

That said, exceptions should have been allocated on the stack, and catch handlers should have been closures that get called with the exception object. I guess this can't be implemented now.

As for multi-threading unwinding, the issue there is that unwinding tables are part of the shared objects whence the associated object code comes, and it often has to be possible to unload loaded shared objects, so now what? The situation shouldn't be bleak though: a shared object should never be unloaded while there are threads executing its code, so it should be possible to arrange a slow unload-time operation to update the the process-wide unwinding tables -- think of user-land RCU if you like.

The exception handling code should not have to synchronize around unwinding, except that when unwinding completes it might have to notice that there's a pending unload, so wake the thread that is waiting for unwinding. Or maybe not even, because maybe unloading could do something truly breathtaking like check that no thread's stack includes return addresses from the object to be unloaded, and then unwinders would never need to step into the unwinding tables from that object.

Running a private mail server for six years is easy. Porting your mailserver to a new OS when your current one goes end of service and lots of little changes in your programs and their configs are forced, now that's tedious and difficult.

That said, there's no better option so I've been running my own mailserver for 10 years now. It's even easier when it's only for you and you don't have to implement oh-so-hackable webmail interfaces.
Today the supposedly liberal NYT has a news article about Jews in Ukraine in order to whip up pro-war hysteria. (The implied premise that Putin is Hitler is too absurd to rebut. This is “Iraqi nurses kill Kuwaiti babies” for 2022.) And they’re the best mainstream news source. :-(

It meshes well with move ctors at least, since objects need a "dead state" they can be put into when moved from.
Is it common? My understanding is that freezing bank accounts is generally limited to things like financial crimes or drug dealing, where the account might contain money that you obtained unlawfully in the first place. Do people arrested for, say, murder usually have their bank accounts frozen?

I hate it when swipe is inconsistent. Even using two Microsoft products (Todo and Outlook) on my iPhone, in Outlook you swipe right to delete a message from the list, in Todo you swipe left to delete a task from the list :-/ . Lucky "undo" is easy to find.
I have exactly same experience. I finished PS:T week ago and it was really good and interesting reading.
Does that really matter though? The people whose bank accounts have been frozen won't automatically get their accounts back after 30 days, will they?

(And even if they do, 30 days is still a really long time not to have access to money, aside from whatever cash you happened to have on you at the time.)
I self hosted with 0 problems for 25 years, until 6 months ago when I switched to one of the main imap/smtp for your domain providers[1]. It's fantastic the amount of stuff I now don't need to know. For instance, I'm not especially interested in knowing the dovecot book as deeply as I do, and I never wanted to know as much about rspamd and postfix as I do.

Ahem. However, I now have accumulated more downtime than I ever did hosting things myself, except for that time centurylink through apparent sheer incompetence nuked my DNS reverse mappings for a month.

I have to admit I was flying under the radar, and my current provider is not. So I will happily continue to pay.

Yes, I'll be excited about version 2. Version 1 just has too many missed opportunities. For example, a single type-c bay could accommodate two type-A ports, or one port and one microsd reader. Wasting a whole one on a reader is dumb when most laptops just have one stuck somewhere. Give me a bay with a pop-out bluetooth mouse in it. Give me a non-chiclet keyboard and a touchpad with real buttons and a dGPU option and a removable battery in standard and extended sizes.

Why buy a laptop with four interchangeable ports when my normal laptop has two USB-A, one USB-C, HDMI, microsd, and a charge port all at the same time? Heck you can't even charge the Framework unless you leave one port as USB-C.
And then the posts will be "I'll order it once they build a custom ARM soc" :).

See Option 2:

The provinces of Alberta and BC also have identity providers (since they issue driver licenses and health cards) which the CRA allows (Option 3).
So? Monero also makes it trivial to create a fake paper trail for the origins of your money.

I hate how difficult it can be to escape non-stop exposure to the media. Too many restaurants and public spaces have televisions blaring, most set to a news channel. Even when not on a explicit news channel, political news and activism leaks through on sports channels and through political ads that no longer stop outside of election season. I can simply stop eating at restaurants what engage in this behavior but when it's the dentist or doctor, you're pretty much captive until you're called in. Thankfully not all of them do this (at least not yet) but it is disturbing how many do.
Why am I "not supposed to use exceptions"? I don't understand why exception should be used when errors occur occasionally, or when they occur 50,000/sec. They are a control flow method for when errors occur.
Depends what kind of news you read.

A lot of what I read makes me read Wikipedia, for verification and context.

News are not just the latest events, they also remind people about the current state of world's history, and invites people to learn some actual facts.

Fusion isn't magic, more energy doesn't suddenly obviate the burden of practical engineering constraints, we won't be "geoengineering" our way out of climate change for the foreseeable future.
I think maybe the OP was referring to Chalmers hard question about consciousness. What you are talking about is closer to the "easy" question regarding understanding the of the neurological mechanisms but that's distinct from the "what is it like" subjective mechanisms. The hard question is hard, in part, because we don't (yet, at least) have a way to measure the way subjective experience emerges, so we don't have a way to measure when it stops.
How would you have learned about COINTELPRO if you didn’t read the news? Right, you probably didn’t hear about it in the news back then since it didn’t serve the right interests (unlike e.g. Watergate).
Who cares? Why do you take anything posted to twitter seriously? "Evil genius dominates world economy through twitter messages" is just not a thing.

Musk is relevant because of Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink, and possibly a few other companies in the works. Maybe he gets some credit for PayPal too. Any one of those things would be sufficient to make his twitter personality a minor footnote in history.
> “Through generating oscillations involved in memory retrieval, the brain may be playing a last recall of important life events just before we die, similar to the ones reported in near-death experiences,” Zemmar speculated.

I wonder what the adaptive benefits of near-death flashbacks are. Perhaps as a way to give last-ditch motivation.

We have plenty of accounts of what it's like to have a heart stop. Thank defibrillators for that. Of course, the whole ordeal may not be accurately committed to memory.
Well if the topic is a minor syntax sugar (if let), then you need to talk syntax. I don’t see any bikeshedding here.
There's an assumption that the brain knows that its support structure, aka the body, has stopped functioning in a permanent sense.

I can see how brains could evolve to do status checks and respond to survivable events. But, I don't see how it could evolve to have a different response to non-survivable events.

What I'm getting at is, do folks who survive report that they had a nice experience? If not, how did brains get a different mechanism for/response to not-survivable experiences?

To be clear, I'm not saying this is necessarily a bad thing. I don't have population charts of Austria on my desk and I'm too lazy to Google it right now, I'd assume it tracks a similar trend to the rest of the Europe and it's slowing down. In that case it might be for the common good and might come back as a positive to the individual at some point in their life.

I'm just saying it's not easy to come up with a scheme that is/feels fair to everyone involved, especially if there's no justification for it. One could find justifications for child support maybe, but can you justify freeloading just as easily?
