There's a reason why Academia and Big Tech love immigration.

And then there's the argument they use to justify why immigration is good, like diversity, inclusion, globalization, ... which may be valid or not.

But isn't it just perfect when your objectives are so closely aligned with what is considered morally right.

To regard these agents as moral actors instead of self-serving profit seekers is just lunacy.

Before you bought the house, were you renting previously at 1800/mo?

Rent and mortgage may be similar for the same exact space, but rarely in cities do people rent entire houses. There is usually significant lifestyle inflation that comes with buying.

In any case, where do you live? 615 is so cheap that I suspect the economics here aren't comparable to my situation. Maybe I'll move! Haha

A sphere may be the best shape for enclosing the most amount of space using the least amount of material, but that's no good if most of that space isn't useful. The fact that the upper reaches of a dome are almost all wasted space make them impractical for contexts like this, especially since breathable atmosphere will be at a premium (and imagine having to heat all of it; average Mars surface temperature is approximately the same as deepest Antarctica). Habitats on Mars will be more like submarines (subarenes?): long and narrow cylinders. I also don't think that any sort of sci-fi self-healing material will help here, because the pressure difference between inside and outside will explode your habitat before any self-healing mechanism kicks in (average surface pressure is the same as 45 km above Earth's surface). Exactly as this article suggests, you're better off sticking your subarene in a cave to protect it from storms and meteorites.
> I actually wish we could put this protocol code in one C library in a way that only handles the protocol logic and not the I/O part, and then we'd be done with it forever.

You can have one Python library at least[1], h11 and h2 in particular make a pretty convincing case as the ultimate in Python HTTP. (You will always have wrappers, though, because not all levels of detail are appropriate for all uses—similar to how imagemagick/libgd/etc. wrap libtiff which wraps libjpeg and wrap libpng which wraps zlib and so on.)

The problem, as far as I can see, is that to avoid calling out to I/O you need inversion of control, and either you convert your code into CPS and state machines manually, which almost impossible, almost unreadable, and makes layering libraries a distant dream (not that people don’t do it anyway), or you use some sort of generic inversion-of-control mechanism like async/await or call/cc, which really wants dynamic memory allocation.

It seems like being able to accurately track stack usage (per module, not per program) could solve this, but that means (we must abandon arbitrary recursion and) the compiler must be able to track arithmetic equations, which is liable to make Gödel and Turing rise from their graves just to shout NOPE! at you. There’s also ABI: what do you do when a new version of a protocol library requires a dozen more bytes on “the” stack, and you were putting these on your stack or in static storage?

(As far as I can tell, Rust’s no_std answer to ABI of this kind is “no.”)

All you had to do to 'achieve' this was sacrifice the education of the young, decimate small business, prevent citizens from leaving the country (you know, against the UN Declaration of Human Rights, which Australia signed and violated) and unleash police on the citizenry for peacefully protesting.

Australian police fired rubber bullets at peaceful assemblers [1], violently threw a compliant man to the ground causing brain damage [2], pepper spraying old women [3] and arresting people for the crime of... suggesting a protest [4]

After all this, massive damage was done to mental health to the point 1 in 10 residents in the lockdown capital Victoria seriously considered suicide. [5]

With all this damage and the decimation of civil liberties, it's hard to justify the measures. Especially not when you set fire to UN human rights standards to do so.

there is a theory that a public projection of power includes disregard for the rules that govern others. Like excess displays of money, it proves to "anyone" that power prevails. A government written request, is both a legal document to make a request, but also a display for the "public" to read. This analysis stems directly from traditions of Monarchy, or military rule in modern times. It isnt going away and may be increasing.

I echo the comments here that it appears that only some international requests are being shown, not others. Secrecy is a second mode of projection of power.
It IS interesting to note that if most unions went dues-optional they'd starve from lack of money.

I used to blog. I made a few things in public. Started a few conversations. Enjoyed it, really enjoyed the writing aspect, enjoyed riding the dopamine wave of social integration as others interacted with what I wrote.

Then three things happened: paying work ate all my time, we started a family which put everything else on the back burner, and I started woodworking for a hobby. I stopped blogging.

You say you feel free. I feel small, like I've lost my voice, my relevance and input on my market. I'm not happy about it.

I have two beautiful daughters who appear to be much smarter than I was, so I feel far from worthless, but I've definitely lost something from not blogging. I look forward to the day where I have enough conviction in myself to say something. For now, I do my best in comments.

I've had an ICE car where the electronics broke down way before anything in the drive train. What's particularly annoying is that most auto shops, especially the dealership have no idea how to fix the part in question. They just replace the entire thing and everything that is attached to it for 2000€ and charge labor on top when replacing just the specific component should cost 1000€ or less including labor. What's especially egregious is that the auto shop needs licensed diagnostics tools from the car manufacturer for something as simple as a part swap. I had to go to 4 different places before I found one that wasn't trying to screw me over.
...and that in turn swapped me solidly back into reality where I drive Geany on a daily basis without any issue whatsoever.

People mean one of two different things when they talk about “function colors”.

Let’s take the example of JS. Does JS have function colors?

In one sense, yes, there are async functions and sync functions and you can only call an async function from an async function. So under a certain definition, JS functions are colorful.

But wait... a JS async function is just a normal function that returns a Promise object. So under another definition, JS functions are colorless. Perhaps someone might not like how Promises work in JS, but this has nothing to do with what color the functions are.

There are some languages that do break this and implement async functions as a completely different entity to normal functions. I believe this kind of function colors is lazy and bad language design and these async implementations tend to feel like they don’t belong with the rest of the language and were duct taped on.
Since Sinovac is basically useless (about half as effective against the original virus, much less vs delta and omicron), China seems to come to the conclusion that letting Omicron run through would have worse consequences than the lockdowns. It’s a fucked situation.
On closer reading, I'd treat the article as a starting points for your own investigation. It seems to drive its own agenda regardless of the content it links to.

For exmple "OSCE observers have never observed the slightest trace of Russian units operating in the Donbass" while in the linked article we have

"… we have seen convoys leaving and entering Ukraine on dirt roads in the middle of the night, in areas where there is no official crossing. In one border area, we’ve also made this public, including some footage we have put out. We have seen specific types of weapons that we have described in detail, including electronic warfare equipment. We have spoken to prisoners taken by the Ukrainian forces who claim to be members of the Russian armed forces fighting on rotation in Ukraine. We have seen men with the insignia of the Russian Federation, but you can buy this jacket anywhere. We have also seen the insignia of Germany, Spain, and others—but also of the Russians."

and so on.
yeah or it could take a week of planning a week of shooting and a week of editing with a crew of people that make drone videos for a living… they’re not pulling automation engineers off of their projects to work on something completely unrelated for a one-time promo shoot, especially not for an entire month
Meta offering the highest salary could be because people actually do care about this, and so Meta needs to pay more for people to think it’s worthwhile working there.
Historically, I have found that I get interviews on about 90% of the applications I send out, and offers on maybe 75% of my interviews.

I do this by being exceedingly picky about the front end of that pipeline - I don't apply to something unless not only can I do the job and want the job, but also have numerous "nice-to-haves" for the job - industry knowledge, tightly matched experience, etc. I also do some research on the company - their tech stack, culture, business model, and make sure I see something that makes me excited about it. I don't blindly send in a resume without knowing there is a decent potential for matching.

I probably send out 1 resume once for every 250 job listings I see. I self-screen out quickly if I don't like how the initial phone screens go. I am likely passing up decent opportunities by being so picky, but I waste very little time in long interview cycles.

I would probably do things differently if I needed a new job fast. But I don't, so I can have patience to find the right place.
In the end, any hypertext-mode solution is going to need to be client-based, because without robust client protections there's no incentive for a company to not just opt in to app mode.

A limited form of this already exists—noscript. Browse with JS off, but add exceptions for true web apps. It should be possible to expand on this to create a middle ground where certain JS operations are allowed (say, DOM manipulation) but most are not (no network requests).
Mozilla makes money hand over fist and they squander it. This is unrelated to their finances or the source model of the product.
Technically though that atmosphere isn't "wasted" its your reserve. Having a big volume of gas has a lot of advantages because it buffers up local emissions and releases - compare low ceiling vs high ceiling in buildings.
There are certain lines people won't cross, of course. Too much rigidity, on the other hand, is a disorder. If there's no traffic at 4 a.m. and I jaywalk, does that mean I have flexible ethics because the cost to benefit ratio is right for me... I guess. Would I murder a child for a billion dollars? No. That's over a line for me.

I guess then, yes. My ethics are flexible, depending. I have also followed the two second rule, even though I find eating food off of the floor abhorrent =(

If a compiler assumes that a function is pure, while it's actually not pure, it may end up performing optimizations that break the logic, such as changing `x = f(); y = f()` into `x = f(); y = x`. And so might a human when refactoring.

> haven't we learned already that any government regulation always ends up favoring the status quo

Not at all. A ton of government regulation is to fix an ongoing problem by changing the status quo. Meatpacking regulations after "The Jungle". The EPA, Clean Air and Clean Water act. Mandatory seat belt laws. The list of "government saw problem, fixed with regulation" is huge.

In particular, with FB/Google, the status quo might crumble without ads. Or maybe they'll go to less targeted ads and only make a ridiculous amount of money instead of an insane amount.

There are still lot's of folks using Access. For those of us in the Linux space, we can use Libreoffice Base and script it with python. I once built for a local business that needed to join the computer age using this. Then about a year+ the owner's relative came to the business and decided that it was too old school and to get it redone as a web app. Needless to say, the owner is not too happy with it, took too long, cost too much both to develop and run and has more errors. He lamented to me about it when I was in town... The issue is the world has moved on from local/native apps.

I think the x87 status/config registers you’re alluding to are a great example of power to the compiler that function colouring can potentially grant. “De-colouring” the function requires gating around preserving these registers but within that colour/monad there’s no need to preserve them. That’s an upside, not a downside

The mRNA vaccines literally expose your immune system to a foreign antigen, the longstanding definition of a vaccine. They use a nice trick to get your own body to manufacture the antigen, but it's not gene therapy, they don't go anywhere your genes, they give ribosomes some extra instructions.

The boosters have been extremely effective at preventing severe infections, which is plenty useful for public health even if it isn't as good as preventing transmission entirely.
Yes. But it was also a fool's errand before omicron. Has there ever been a recorded instance of eliminating a respiratory infection before?
> The time to make decisions is a function of how close you are to the ground, not how fast you are moving.

Why is that the conclusion of 747 vs F-16? Proximity to ground is a glaringly incomplete takeaway. Fighter jets are a-priori designed for quicker decision making, not primarily because of the ground, but primarily because they’re built for fighting other fighter jets. Proximity to other jets can happen at 30k feet. Fighter jets are built to withstand a much higher limit load than 747s - at least 2x higher G forces; the fighter jet was designed for faster turns. Everything about the fighter jet is intended for faster decision making and everything about the 747 and it’s flight procedures is designed to be as boring (safe) as possible.
I’d have to see a reputable source on that statistic. The sense I get is places like Chicago, NY, Baltimore, other larger urban centers have some pretty strict firearms laws and still tend to have high homicide rates. Do those skew the numbers for the state?

As an example: Illinois may have lax state laws, but Chicago has strict gun laws, and lots of homicides. If you removed Chicago from Illinois statistics, how would that affect the state’s statistics

China wouldn't be in this mess if they had followed New Zealand's approach of vaccinating all the old people with a high quality vaccine. Then you can just open up again because the mortality risk of Covid is the same as the annual flu (according to data out of the UK).

In a country with complete control over the information ecosystem, how can it be that so many old Chinese people don't want to take the vaccine? Is anti-vax sentiment the main reason for low vaccination rates among old people in China compared to New Zealand?
Yes. What you said does not contradict what I said.
