I'm probably being incredibly naive in saying this, but what about "non-wartime" decapitation strikes — where instead of going to war, you just lob some well-timed hypersonic missiles at your enemy's capitol building / parliament / etc. while all key players are inside; presumably not as a way to leave the enemy nation leaderless, but rather to aid an insurgent faction that favors you to take advantage of the chaos to grab power? I.e., why doesn't the CIA bring ICBMs along to their staged coups?
Docker Desktop on macOS is none of the three (consistent, reliable, or pleasant UX). I have -- with some exceptions -- replaced it trivially with Colima for how I use DD (and I am not in the class of people who need to pay for DD, but the forced updates and space-wasting UI were unpleasant).
I've signed up. I use nextdns at the moment and quite like it - it's very reasonably priced too.

Astrologers make vague predictions that handily avoid falsification. Any fraudulent operation involving prophecies would obviously do this to stay as seemingly legitimate as long as possible. Not saying astrology is illegitimate but it is certainly very probable.

Therefore technically speaking, your statement is wrong. Astrology has NOT been disproven.

"your Redux reducer doesn't handle all of the possible action types so it will crash at run time"

And what are all these dr. Strange multiverse possibilities you speak of? Any semi seasoned JS dev has spidey sense for watching out for null and undefined, and generally you should know the type of what you are returning. Is there that much variability in what you are dealing with? If it’s an array of objects, that’s not hard to hold in your brain, just watch out for empty arrays or null/undefined items.
Over the years many people pointed to "Real Time with Bill Maher - Ben Affleck, Sam Harris and Bill Maher Debate Radical Islam" as the start of public toxic woke-ism.

I suggest watching it if you have not seen it (10min long) but it basically boils down to that if you disagree with someone you can call it racists instead of formulating an argument. There is ofc no evidence that anyone on that show on that day is actually a racists but somehow people just accepted that it was valid to say anyway.

The consequences is that people said it more and more and other similar terms whenever it somehow fit.
An opinion if it can be made to look like it affects a specific group of people is attacked as being against these people. It basically made a subset of he most pathetic and weak ad hominem fallacies acceptable and thus broke the way people had public discourse.
I bought a license some time ago because I want a native Mac IDE to succeed! I use Nova for Rails development and it feels quite pleasing.

I also use Jetbrains and Sublime but avoid VSCode wherever I can. Too many plugins and not enough out of the box combined with less intelligent refactoring (Jetbrains is unbeaten here).

Nova is amazing fresh air and whenever an update lands it’s like a little present and I get excited what’s included. It’s good and they are constantly making it better with every release.
TypeScript is really helpful for this because you can specify what runtime(s) you expect your code to run in with the `lib` configuration. Looks like Deno provides its own versions of libraries: https://deno.land/manual/typescript/configuration

This is true, but an electron and nucleus also have opposite charge, yet the electron typically doesn't drop into the nucleus all the time.

> The reality is that prohibitive factors in creating new drugs from compounds discovered similarly (by AI or other automated process) is almost entirely due to testing safety procedures and regulations

Most drug candidates fail because they don't work, not because of any regulatory procedure. About 50% of drug candidates that enter Phase III trials--the final clinical trial before approval--fail, and that's almost always because they failed to meet clinical endpoints (i.e., they don't do what they're supposed to do), and not because they're not safe (toxicity is Phase I trials).
In many ways the familiarity and apparent simplicity of English text is a big challenge, particularly whole pages of text. A great book to read is Just My Type: A Book About Fonts by Simon Garfield.

I'm literally learning about this "gimball video" from this video, so I don't have all the background, but the video we're looking at wasn't taken by David Fravor; it was taken by Chad Underwood? In the video we're looking at, we don't so much have to guess how far away the object was; the camera video itself indicates it. It's too far away to discern shape and rotation accurately with a naked eye. The video goes into detail about this, and the details aren't complicated.

There's no debate to be had most of the time. Something about this particular topic makes people so prone to decide they're right first, then debate as if making the smallest concession means defeat.

Any discussion on the basis of "X will solve Y" or "X will most likely NOT solve Y" predictably spirals on and on because the parties chose hypothetical claims that can't be falsified so it's easier to play with semantics and pretend the other doesn't get it yet.

That's a pedantic argument, the deno standard library doesn't depend on any other library except itself and deno's core. You can know if you depend on it that you don't have dozens or hundreds of other dependencies, unlike pulling in a random npm package.

My reading of it is that the authors don't want to lose our ability to have a constructive conversation where people can be mutually intelligible and clearly understand what they disagree on.
It depends what you need to do. If you build a golang binary in a container and run go mod tidy, you get hit by it. If you build a java app with, say, maven, you will pull deps into a volume mount and you get hit by it. Of course, you can mount a host dir to avoid the problem to a certain extent.
Would a machine solving the trolly problem on whether to hit the wall vs some cyclists ever choose to hit the wall in a way that damages the driver, bounces into the people and damages some of the people, but kills no one?

What is completely awful is developers tying themselves in knots trying to get MacOS to do things that Apple don't really want to do.

The community edition of Docker is much closer to most cloud container setups anyway, so using Docker Desktop is really counter productive.

There are better alternatives for your workstation, especially if your production environment is Linux based. Most, if not all, of the major development environments run well in Linux. Obviously not XCode, but for server side stuff it doesn't matter.
The "uninhabited farmland" is just an analogy for some area of the economic landscape that when you spend money on it, can absorb labor and return a tangible benefit that is equal or more than what you spend. Maybe for example repairing worn out infrastructure or creating new infrastructure.

>The vast majority of the money the Fed prints goes to financial institutions

You maybe thinking of Quantitative Easing. In which case financial institutions are just incentivized to cash in their Government Bonds, whereby they need to look for some place else to put the money, hence perhaps asset inflation. The Government doesn't just print a whole lot of money and give it away to someone.
> classified speech

That applies to government employees, who willingly agree to be bound by classification. I think that if someone outside had the information, they could publish it (probably a very bad idea).

Also, the press has a right to publish classified information.
I don't know much about this whole story (I'm not a UFO person) and am learning most of what I know about it from this video and this thread, but: the people saying that this video depicts an actual object rotating in the sky appear to be making the extraordinary claim here: the connection between the rotation and the camera system seems compelling. The horizon is moving as the camera/plane moves; the object is not moving. You can't refute that with "these are highly trained fighter pilots": the horizon is moving with the camera, the object isn't. Training's got nothing to do with it. The shape we're looking at is, in part, an artifact of the camera, unless the aliens are somehow reprogramming the camera to fuck with us.
Of course you can, the submitted article does exactly that. His emotions convey that he knows exactly what's going on, and he states, repeatedly, that it is lens flare. Rationally we can see that this is missing the forest for the trees, but anyone who doesn't think as critically will deduce that this is only a camera artifact. He operates this way on purpose, so that people who want to believe him have the proof they are looking for, and everyone else will quibble about meaningless details.

From the submission: A new detailed analysis of the modern poster child for UFO footage makes the case that the object in the video is not anything other than glare on the Navy jet’s gimbal camera system.

Yes, and this has literaly nothing to do with their usefulness outside the game they were built for.

Example: Fortnite skins are built specifically for the Fortnite game engine, using textures available for that engine, applicable to skeletons and meshes designed specifically for that game engine.

How exactly are you going to use it outside of Fortnite's game engine?

So survivorship bias.

Second thing is that it was a lot easier to be a genius in 1900 than it is now.

Not saying that general relativity is well understood by general public but a lot more people has now some grasp on E=mc^2. While in 1900s it was something that most of people could not wrap their heads around.

Last point is that "geniuses" are overrated anyway. Because what we need as a species is that bell curve of knowledge moves up. So mediocre people get more intelligent and know more things and people from lower part of bell curve get to the level where mediocre people were before.

We achieved that because currently average Joe nowadays is much smarter than average Joe 100 years ago.

And we should strive to move forward with that.
Interestingly enough, despite the many warnings I received against doing so, researching heterodox economics and economic history helped provide me with a massive network of researchers and speaking opportunities I wouldn't have otherwise been able to access. Not only that, I was able to avoid getting trapped in the morass of extremely qualified and aggressive course mates and students at other top institutions, almost all of whom were filtered into just a few areas of inquiry. I often struggle to properly convey to those unfamiliar with this particular social (or dismal...) science the immense difficulty I would have faced in standing out given my research would have been in competition with dozens of journal articles with similar or identical theses - all at the same handful of publications.
Cool. I need to roll back to a version from last year, with entirely different versions of daemons (PostgreSQL, et c). Then run that side-by-side with what's currently deployed. I may end up needing to git-bisect and repeat this process a half dozen times—this afternoon. I want none of those deps or configs to hang around, at all, afterward. And I'll need all that gone next week and a whole different set of services installed because I'll be helping out on some other project entirely. But then I'll come back to this and need all those things installed again. At any moment someone might have a question on something else entirely—a whole suite of services, potentially—that, ideally, I'd be able to fire up an try out locally in, at most, a few minutes, then completely eradicate when I'm done so it's not wasting disk space.

What's your solution for that? A bunch of full-fat VMs configured with Ansible or something? Been there, done that, less convenient, more resource-intensive, and far noisier/cruftier than Docker (though the script-configured-VM approach is still far better than running that stuff directly on my machine[s], admittedly)

Yup. Although if you do want to get political, I'd say this falls under the definition of cyber warfare. Also the maintainer didn't only "allow" it, it seems he is the author of the malicious module as well.
The WTCs collapsed because of a myriad of reasons, I doubt very much that if an equivalent hydrogen powered jet had crashed into them the outcome would have been different. iirc the general consensus is that many (most?) skyscrapers would continue to stand after being hit by a plane in the same manner as the WTC towers, and specifically the all-steel no concrete construction combined with some other problematic factors in the design was the reason for the total collapse.

A lot of morality is of course fashion (and "relative", if you want).

But failure to articulate universal moral rules concisely, doesn't mean there's no concensus.

Circumstances and relevant context can be very complicated and laborious to describe, but there are still many cases where overwhelming majority of people would agree on what's right and what's wrong.
> The people who would use them don't care about the Geneva Protocol.

Unless you mean that, by definition, anyone who violates the Geneva Conventions doesn't care about them, you are overlooking that most major militaries observe the Geneva Conventions to a great extent. They are cleverly written to make it in everyone's interests.

The value comes from the association. A baseball hat worn by a famous person is worth more than if it is worn by a normal person even if the hat is the same physically.

If you directly use nft from the chain in some big project, the value of that particular receipt will go up because the association can be made. This cannot be done if it was simply a digital image copied over.
Incorrect.

A "machine generated work" is not considered copyrightable: "The Office will not register works produced by a machine or mere mechanical process that operates randomly or automatically without any creative input or intervention from a human author. The crucial question is “whether the ‘work’ is basically one of human authorship, with the computer [or other device] merely being an assisting instrument, or whether the traditional elements of authorship in the work (literary, artistic, or musical expression or elements of selection, arrangement, etc.) were actually conceived and executed not by man but by a machine."

That's largely not what we want when looking at policy that is typically enacted at the local level.

I asked for a matrix analysis with how various policies interact and perform over time, not a single subtopic. Those seem to be on a subtopic, and generally not related to the policies typically cited for being soft on crime (topic at hand). They could be part of the matrix as they are indirectly connected.

Are you aware that two of your sources contradict each other? One claims that stand your ground laws have no impact and another claims they increase violent crime and firearm homicide. Also interesting is that Rand omits some studies entirely. I would have liked to see what flaws they would have found in them rather than just leave them out (and leave us wondering if it was overlooked or due to a flaw).
