This is one of the thoughts every now and then makes me happy to don't live in a society affine to the US culture, and sometimes I can't understand how people can't see how this messes everything up, this attitude of terminating the life of those who have just been suspected, by giving for granted that everyone is already guilty before the trial even starts is crazy, and makes the whole country more blackmailable, I can't imagine the amount of people who gave up to blackmail just because otherwise their life would be trashed

But to get back on point, what should the police do? They have an investigation to do and the dog trying to say something? Should we avoid questioning people just because society is fucked up?

Usually if there is an aquifer, the answer to whether drilling will hit it is "yes".

First thing that comes to mind (as a GUI developer that is currently translating a product) is that the text renderer can't handle accents above and below Latin characters. (e.g. Let's buy crème fraîche in Curaçao) I'd also be surprised if it can handle right-to-left strings as well.
There's has been a lot of research done on dowsing, over a period of hundred years. You will find studies pointing one way or another. But no smoking gun either way. Its has tapered off since the 80s, cause there's not much reason going on with a field of study that cant get anywhere in a hundred years of work. Scientificality it is pretty clear that divining is useless.

I guess the argument is that crypto is the future, which I would not agree with, but if you actually think that crypto will be _the way_ in which the world will run in 50 years, then I guess a lot of crypto-related software will bring positive impact.

I guess it depends on what OP means by Energy usage. I thought it was more about clean energy than about the energy usage of individual workloads. And there are certainly opportunities for software in clean energy. Things like improving site selection, grid optimizations, and the like. Although a lot of it is probably going to be hardware side.

> The myth is certainly taught by mainstream economists,

Can you please state what you think the supposed myth actually is? I'm asking because people seem to have very different ideas about what it actually is as seen in this very thread.

> I think he was specifically targeting neoclassical economists.

Quoting Graber:

> The answer seems to be that the Myth of Barter cannot go away, because it is central to the entire discourse of economics. Recall here what Smith was trying to do when he wrote The Wealth of Nations. Above all, the book was an attempt to establish the newfound discipline of economics as a science.

> Nope, he just has an unusual take because his analysis is more rooted in historical and anthropological study and, of course, he's kind of left wing.

I'm sorry, Adam Smith is left wing?
Science basically has to enter courts through consensus, which means only the most sensational and visible conclusions of science will reach the legal system. Seems like a bit of a bottleneck for a developing civilization.
It seems to me that in every group of people where a certain concept is often used, that concept will get a short name.

You are not going to write out many times 'the chief engineer on a project'. So let's take a mostly unused term, like architect and stick with that. (Read 'The meaning Liff' where Douglas Adams is having fun with the reverse of this)

Same thing with RPC, you need to have a term for sending a message to a remote process asking it to execute a particular 'function' and send back the result.

At the same time, you don't want write a lot of code in each application to marshall arguments, send a message, wait for the reply, decode the result. So it seems obvious to generate those functions from a description file. And then you have something that looks a bit like a procedure call that is remote.

Of course at some point the discussion derails and people start claiming that the RPC is basis of distributed computing. And then other people start writing critiques.

That doesn't change the fact that a RPC is a nice concept, as long as you keep in mind what it really is, and what its limitations are.
All defense companies fall into this category, it's by design.
Oh that's brilliant, I'm looking forward to that!

There is still so much of the tech stack that hasn't changed since this book was published in 2000 - TCP, IP, DNS, binary, logic gates, etc. But there's also much that has changed that could be written about - virtualisation, containers, wifi, fibre, cloud infrastructure, USB, GPUs.
> I can't understand the use-case of needing to do this outside of toy problems.

Not sure, not my domain, but perhaps bioinformatics has the equivalent of the convolution operation on sequences?

sort <infile | uniq | wc –l > outfile

It doesn't really invalidate the argument, but unless I'm misunderstanding their statement, I think the author might have misparsed the above.
This makes my head and heart hurt to see so many people agreeing with this.

There's a right, and wrong, time for using left joins. "all the time" is the wrong time. If you need to join on all existing records, including null records, you need the trinary equality operation.

Also... there's a right join... if you're writing complex enough stuff long enough, you'll eventually hit a query where it's just easier to do the same thing you've been doing on the right side.

I can't say for sure, because it's implementation dependant, but this is going to slow down your results on larger data sets as well, since you won't be excluding joins (in memory) by excluding data (during the selects from individual tables)

I believe there are already such instances, I believe https://nebula.app/ is one of them.

The problem is that this does not change the dynamic of what people want to watch. The problem is not necessarily a lack of ways to find and filter such content, but rather that this is not appealing for broad audiences.
It's not to be normalised though. I sorta-knew a kid like that (he ended up living at his grandma across from our street after his family fell apart due to marital reasons); he was also mid teens or so and went joyriding in her car. Which nobody would probably find out or care about, but he ended up parking it against a tree if you catch my drift. He was unharmed thankfully, but it could have ended badly.

It might be "things that kids do", but it shouldn't be normalized or tolerated. Especially children, there's a lot of things that, until they can understand themselves, they need to be Told. How many things did you (dear reader) do growing up that, in hindsight, you think "wow that was stupid / reckless / I could've died"?

Google faces growing skepticism about pay
Google isn't an employer or a landlord here, they were the developers' agent (according to the distribution agreement). They simply exercised their rights to stop representing them. The developers have no expectation of representation or service when it's directly against Google's express will.

There are so many transferable analogies here, but your wild and moral handwaving aside, I'm yet to hear why Google should have to let these developers sell through Google's marketplace, on Google's dime. If you put all your eggs into one big Google-shaped basket, your livelihood exists (and ends) at the whim of Google. Same applies to all the Apple devs this has happened to. And that's the developers' fault.

I think you might argue that's unfair, you might argue that Google and Apple's and Valve's (etc) marketplaces should be classed as public utility services, and that the public should have access —and I might agree with you— but that's not currently the case.

It's Google's ball and they're taking it home.
I wish we had a way to channel a lot of the electoral anger into electoral reform — e.g. how many people complain about Joe Manchin but never mention the odds of someone more to their taste getting elected in WV? — but it's hard to see that getting off the ground at the moment when we're fighting a rearguard campaign simply to preserve the existing level of access to voting. It's hard to convince people that the answer to disliking the available choices is to get more involved with things like local elections, propositions, etc. but we really need to figure out how to make that happen.
> marshall arguments, send a message, wait for the reply, decode the result

In the case of Protobuf, Google considers Protobuf as merely being focused on marshaling arguments then decoding results, and is otherwise decoupled from gRPC which is the layer and software to relay 1s and 0s.

Paid by whom? In cases of police getting sued after a wrongful death, the municipality typically pays the bill. The police budget is unaffected. In such a system there's little incentive for police departments to be careful with which property they search, even if the owner is compensated.

> If your country is attacked and the KKK volunteer to fight, will you stop them from doing so?

Yes.

The narrative weights more than actually winning in combat. Allowing Right Sector and Azov Battalion to work with the Army for the past 8 years is akin to willingly giving the guns and ammo to the Russians. I don't care what the very-far-right (or left) does inside the country, but using them in combat with another nation is bad, because they just might win. It's ok if you plan to use Russians to kill off these people, but it's risky. If some of them survive, they will be heroes. Patriots who bled for the country. They will be allowed to do just about anything for the next decade or two.

I understand the need for soldiers. Very-far-X, for any X, are usually people who can and want to fight. Now, they got a chance to fight. And kill. And, in effect, validate their ideology and gain political power afterwards. Once Russians are expelled, the war ends, the unity in the face of a common enemy dissipates, and the Azov Battalion will be legitimized as national heroes, it will lead to conflict with current allies. Poland, most notably, won't accept it. Germany will also be very, very displeased.

It's not worth it. People from Azov Battalion and similar organizations should never be allowed to fight. They should be in support, logistics, communication, work as medics, do just about anything other than fight, kill, and be killed.

In the short-term using far right militia is a perfectly rational choice. I'm not blaming anyone. I'm just saying that, in the long run, using extremists to fight with another nation is going to hurt more than help.
>Are kids locked in a room if they refuse to go? Definitely abusive.

I don't disagree, but also consider the entire picture. Some of these people end up being the ones that get raging drunk, and into head on collision with a family of 4 killing them all. How the heck do you try to prevent something like that when all the warning signs are there?

10 seems like such a small number. Was he was getting specific feedback that caused him to shut it down? Like were there some sort of legal liability issues or something that made it something they weren't interested in?
> I hate this argument because it implies you have any power in this situation.

Yes you do. While there is little we actually control in our complex world, we are at least in control of our discretionary purchasing decisions. Sure, you as an individual might not make a dent in the company's profits but thats not the point. You are making a decision on principle, thats all that matters.

If we cant get this part right, what hope do we have for more important stuff like voting in actual elections?

> There's no technical challenge waiting to be solved there.

NAT is still a major issue when you try to self host anything. And most of the stuff you can hobble together in a shell one liner just ends up being broken or limited in one way or another, e.g. that `python3 -m http.server` fails with seeking in video files, just gives "Broke pipe" error. Also provides no way to encrypt or authenticate. And without any way to easily mirror the content it will be unreliable and slow anyway.

Trying to do almost any common task is a nightmare when you want to do it cloud-free. An open web run by users themselves is still an unsolved problem. There some projects working on it (libp2p, IPFS, etc.), but none of that is to the point where it works properly and often missing important features.

> They can decide that next year HTML is gone and Flutter is out.

That already happened years ago. Tons of popular Internet apps only exist as mobile apps with little or no Web interface. Worse yet, most of those apps are driven by user created content. Which is exactly why making publishing a first class citizen on the Web is so important, without that people are just leaving the Web and going to places that allow them to publish and those places will be controlled by your favorite mega-corp.
I get that. I detect it and I consciously don't participate in it. If you understand and recognize the dark pattern, you can opt-out.
The W3C has endangered long-term resilience on the Web by supporting misguided efforts like EME, which aim to add a requirement for de-facto proprietary "plugins" to the open Web platform. Why should they deserve our support?

> Ukrainian forces have been able to take out Russian tanks using the Javelin anti-tank missile system being supplied by the U.S., and a lighter, more easily transportable missile supplied by Great Britain.

That is not true. Vast majority of tanks have been destroyed by artillery (2nd is stugna-p). You can see on the videos publish by UA. They are burning with twisted parts. Javelins don't cause this kind of damage. People with military experience would know that.

What is more, they must have a stockpile of chips in case of war (Soviet Union was the only country with aluminum cutlery - side effect of stockpiling resources for potential wars). China and other countries would give them chips quietly.
Thanks! That's really useful.

The github repo of hubris [0] is very nice, as they immediately tell you where what is, e.g.

drv/ contains drivers, a mix of simple driver lib crates and fully-fledged server bin crates. Current convention is that drv/SYSTEM-DEVICE is the driver for DEVICE on SYSTEM (where SYSTEM is usually an SoC name), whereas drv/SYSTEM-DEVICE-server is the server bin crate.

Why does nobody do this in their readmes normally? They just let you look into their code and tell you "now figure it all out yourself".

How could a company like Facebook ship such a slow and complex product, with little to no support, for so many years? Where did the FAANG Product Management quality go?
