The existing thermoplastic polymers use 1D chains.

The thermosetting polymers are initially synthesized as 1D chains, but after they are made into their intended form, the curing reaction cross-links all the 1D chains into a 3D network.

Because of its 3D structure, a cured thermosetting polymer can no longer be dissolved or melted. At high temperatures it will decompose or burn, instead of melting.

However, the thermosetting polymers, unlike covalent crystals like diamond, boron or silicon, have a 3D structure with big holes in it, so they are permeable to gases and other substances with small molecules.

The 2D polymer discussed in the parent article has a 2D structure similar to graphite sheets, i.e. a dense 2D lattice, without holes or pores.

This dense structure allows applications that cannot be done with traditional polymer coatings. This coating should be inpermeable like a glass, without being fragile.

The fact that it is light, as mentioned in the title, is pretty much irrelevant, because this is a material that is suitable only for coatings on objects made of other materials, not for the bulk material of an object.

Should I wait for some reasoning to back that up or do I have to ask? If I ask will I get an answer?

> Not sure what you mean by “actually” practice

People who practice it versus people who don't, like the average Indian.

> but I assure you many many people in india practice it.

Many people who are not Indian practise yoga - why does the average Indian have more claim to it than these people? Would Patanjali think they do?

> I don’t think I ever mentioned plagiarism, you probably have me confused with someone else.

This is the thread you're on[1], do you have it confused with another?

> The fact that you’re even asking this question tells me more about your unchecked privilege than anything else.

Again, no answer, just ad hominem. Why do they care more than Patanjali?

My 1st computer was a TRS-80 Model 1 and I recently acquired one which I will likely start restoring after the summer when I need some inside activities for my free time.

I have a Zenith Z-160 PC compatible luggable from 1984 which I restored and use frequently. I love that the floppy drives pop up from the top of the machine and that the machine is based on an ISA slot backplane rather than a traditional motherboard. I mostly use it to play old CGA games. It has a CGA composite output which I connect an external monitor to in order to enjoy the glory that is CGA color.

It drove me crazy too, until I needed to use Puppeteer which requires you to write async/await (there are Puppeteer implementations in other languages, but they all seem to make compromises I didn't want). Generally speaking, async/await allows you to write code that looks and feels serial. Perhaps try using one of the async libraries for PHP to wrap your mind around the concept of async/await (like https://github.com/spatie/async)
I think you’re drawing the exact wrong conclusion from the article? Increased access to choice amplifies the effect of the power law.

From the article:

> Now, thanks to a series of breakthroughs in network theory by researchers like Albert-Laszlo Barabasi, Duncan Watts, and Bernardo Huberman among others, breakthroughs being described in books like Linked, Six Degrees, and The Laws of the Web, we know that power law distributions tend to arise in social systems where many people express their preferences among many options. We also know that as the number of options rise, the curve becomes more extreme. This is a counter-intuitive finding - most of us would expect a rising number of choices to flatten the curve, but in fact, increasing the size of the system increases the gap between the #1 spot and the median spot.

Unless your real tech equates to censorship or control or something, I am not sure how it would help reduce power law effects?
Ah right, people have asked about that before. I'm just happy with a single normal-sized monitor.

Maybe related, but we once went around the Netflix parking lot with Blippar to look at the KBB value of the cars, and found that I was driving the cheapest car at Netflix (at least until we got sick of looking). Mine was a 2001 Toyota Prius, KBB value ~$1800. Not the cheapest car to ever park at Netflix, just the cheapest on the day!

Yes, generally. I don't really understand why anyone commits broken junk and then leaves it there.
Conspiracy theorists aren't real. My theory is that they are a fabrication meant to make us disprove anything that goes against the mainstream narrative.

In reality, the truth is always somewhere in the middle.
Direct value: no.

Indirect value: there are many facets to every field of maths/science/philosophy and each facet makes progress at a different pace. This type of paper doesn’t have any impact on my day-to-day thinking but I don’t doubt that this approach will eventually lead to better methods and understanding of deep learning. Unfortunately that understanding could take 50 years for all we know.

In the meantime, progress in applications of deep learning are outpacing progress in theory by several orders of magnitude. The original GAN paper by Ian Goodfellow was published in 2014. Just 8 years later we have ML models that can generating convincing images from text prompts, arguably beyond what 99.9% of humans are capable of. Theory has no chance when engineering is moving so rapidly.
It's been quite a while so my memory's a bit hazy, but as I recall the biggest issue was the Start menu behaving oddly. On my typical computers I run OpenShell, but certain things don't show up in the search result list so I have to open the Windows Start and search from there. AME's start menu is very stripped-down and very little shows up with it, though that could've changed since I used it. Now I'm certain there are two or three different ways to do all the things I wanted to do but breaking the habit of "push button, type, hit enter" was tough. If I were going to try it now my concern would be a lack of control over updating. Sure, AME strips WU out so you have perfect negative control, but running LTSC with Windows Update Manager makes it very easy to install the updates I actually want.
So, another option, is that our concepts arent really about their targets.

For example, my "pen" is actually a bundle of largely motor techniquess (also: emotional regulation technquies etc.) which is about how I coordinate myself.

In a sense all my concepts are about me. We might say that in congition we abstract these "primal concepts" into properties which are then about their targets, sure. This is why cognition is a bit of a charlatan.

In being able to regulate my own imagination, motor skills, emotions etc. with these techniques, I can actually discover new things about the "abstract concepts" that they imply.

Since my "pen" isnt really anything like "a pen" nor even my experiences of pens... it is rather, "a way of me moving everything within me" -- I can simulate these movements and discover new things about their implied abstractions. Indeed, I can do this in the world: I can explore actual pens by moving my body differently.

This is one of the big issues with the AI paradigm as it has always existed: researchers are still talking about environments as if they had properties which were already there. Everything is formualted as-if the problem were solved. The world is just some bundle of facts (data, propositions, etc.) and representations are just subsets of these.

This misses, you know, the world. The thing that hits you. And it misses, entirely, what happens when it hits you.
> Bonus points for no PR’s and trunk driven development as that shows a very mature team.

Trunk driven does not mean mature team 100% of the time, but if you have a mature team trunk-driven is more efficient than PRs.

It only works if either everyone is senior, or it’s a project of 1-2 devs, or if people are pairing most of the time.

Zig compiles C/C++ by deferring the vast majority of the work to libclang, which is written in C++. Also note Zig is self-hosted when using the LLVM backend, which means deferring to C++ for much of the code generation. There is no "end-to-end Zig" self-hosted compiler yet, because the Zig native backends are not as near completion. See the creator's comment about the breakdown: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31052234. (I'm excited about this progress, so this is not meant as any kind of knock on Zig, which I think is quite impressive)

But you're right that C is not a good example.

The internet was truly free because creating your own IRC network was both acceptable and commonplace. Creating your own Twitter on the other hand... Mastodon may just solve this though.
Your worldview is ok. Slightly non-friendly, but ok.

Real problem is globalization.

- In the past, also most problems fall in the same 3 categories, but not existed internet and people does not traveled as much as now.
So, in most cases, if you suffer such problems in past, you just moved to other city and there you easily found paid customers.

Now, everybody have access to internet and to fast/cheap world transport, so too many people could just buy something cheaper from somewhere, and you have to deal with this.

But if you will not stuck in making something valuable for everyone in whole world, you could find some niches and live making something valuable for them.

And you will make mistake if avoid such niches. Because, even them are small, but this littleness deter large companies from them. So living in niche you will be safe for significant time, before you will accumulate resources to enter open market.

For example, from words of Wallmart founder, Sam Watson, they occasionally started on periphery, where non existed large, dangerous concurrents, and than they slowly accumulated resources and created finance backbone, so later they easily conquered large cities.

Sure, all that time you should study, you should train your intellect and imagination, so you will see more opportunities. But this is next step, first you must accept truth, that you don't need to start large.

To be honest, sometimes appear humans, who start large and win, but mostly this is exception, not rule.
>>Tax has nothing to do with raising money.

Taxation is entirely about raising money.

>>It’s about releasing real resources for the public good - largely people to provide public services.

What does "releasing real resources" mean, and how does taxation achieve that? And how does a land value tax fail to achieve that?

>>It’s about releasing real resources for the public good - largely people to provide public services.

I'm puzzled as to how you conceive of government not needing land, when many government services do in fact need it, or how you perceive other objects of taxation being needed by government in a way that land is not.
> you claim that anyone who supports free speech is "actually a deeper enemy of discourse" than a censor

Not what I said. If you care about speech, try to be careful about parsing, interpreting, and summarizing it. If something still doesn't make sense, try asking questions.
This is what Reddit did. Just because you can throw developers and resources at a problem, does not make that problem basic.
Just make a PR early and discuss the code as you build and make changes, not sure in what way the tool wasn't made to do that. Then you also get the discussion interleaved with changes, resulting in basically perfect documentation of how the code was made and why.

The only thing PR's lack in that regard is that if the reviewer accepts it then it gets added automatically, while ideally you should re review things after the reviewer has accepted it. That way they wont accidentally accept prototype changes.
> and don't have ongoing costs for a developer

Which app doesn’t have ongoing development costs?

Do you accept that your one-time fee offline app will stop working one day out of the blue with the beautiful message "the developer needs to update this app", because Apple deprecated an API used by the app?
I have seen a lot of enthusiasm for using sqlite instead of postgres for django/laravel/rails type projects, or just using it for your tests. I think both of these opinions are over valued since it's easier to learn postgres once then to learn sqlite then migrate to postgres.

The real developer cost of "install postgres, createuser, createdb" is basically nothing.

I see the cost of ever using sqlite (coupling my tests/and/or app, migrating as soon as you have 2 users) as much higher.

Sqlite does seem like a safe, solid, and sane default for the embedded/fopen people though.
Indeed - thanks :)
Thanks for the detailed answer! I have more questions, if you'll indulge me:

If I understood it correctly, you think smart pointers and reference counting are bad habits. Why? Especially the smart pointers bit.

Why does Zig use less memory than other languages? Is it inherent to Zig, or can it be reproduced in other languages?

There was a small measure of satire/hyperbole in what I said. But you have separated that one sentence from the second sentence that provided context, so I don't think I particularly need to defend it on its own.

Perhaps I should have used a semicolon to defend against you.

The point was that in ten years time, I think people will look back and say: 2022 is the year x86 really ended as a forward-looking architecture. Ergo: dead, they just don't know it yet.

But to expand: one of the things that is very striking about tech stuff is how quickly the energy in any one system can deflate.

Looking at the Apple competition, do you think buyers will think:

1) Intel simply need to make x86 a bit better to compete, or

2) It is about time we started looking at architectures that can scale up to compete with Apple Silicon on all levels (absolute CPU power, power consumption, mobile to server)

Architecturally, x86 is in serious trouble and this isn't just something I -- a random non-chip-designer -- think. It's what Intel think, or their entire recent push would not be to become a fabricator for other chip designs, built on an unhealthy amount of anti-asian supply chain FUD.

Midnight in Paris is a fun take on this phenomenon among other things.

I don't know about the quantification. But there certainly is something about the pining for an idealized prior time period. One good example today is the retro appeal of film, vinyl, and even instant photography. You also see it in design and fashion. I'd say certain aspects of 60s style are seen as appealing today whereas in the 70s-80s, they'd just be seen as old-fashioned. You're really talking about the point where tired becomes retro-chic.
Same, but if I’m being honest, I won’t check it out. There’s so much competition in this space that I don’t need to.

I paid for Pixelmator Pro recently because I needed to do a repetitive task. It comes with several useful Automator actions that were exactly what I needed.

All of those things you mentioned? Blocked. As an example, if I even plug any sort of device like a usb stick or an external drive to my machine, the computer locks up and security is on the phone with my manager within seconds.
I am the in the same situation as you. This has been what I've identified is the main thing that ruins my life. Every day it takes me about 30 minutes for me to convince myself to get out of the bed and continue doing senseless grind with no end in sight.

I have zero autonomy over what I do, because I joined a extreme programming shop where I'm supposed to pair 8 hours a day. Do you know how hard it is to program all day without listening to music because you have to "communicate" all the time? The only thing I've been able to device to reduce this sense of dread and lack of autonomy is to focus on developing my own tools to work. But now, I can't even do that because some dolt complained that me using non-standard tools made him "confused" during our pair-programming sessions.

The standard advice for this situation is to get another job. But I know, that will not fix the main issue. The previous job I had, was a legacy tech debt nightmare, we were understaffed and management didn't want to address any of the issues while expecting us to do over-time support.

The job before that, had beautiful code but the code-reviews were insanely political and if the reviewer didn't like you, you would get 400 comments on a PR.

This industry has managed to take a beautiful thing like developing software and turn it into a nightmare. JUST LET ME CODE IN PEACE YOU IDIOTS!

As for solutions, the one that seems more rational to me is the "freelancing part time while working on my own product(s)". That's the one I'm betting my life on.

Wish me luck.

Agreed that it is astute pandering. I found the whole "both sides" thing off-putting because it's negligent. There seems to be a standard of care that comes with running a social network that isn't being acknowledged enough. A customer who slips and falls in a business due to a wet floor caused by an employee can sue the owner for negligence based on vicarious liability. These networks are property that customers access and use just like physical property. You can put whatever you want in the terms of service but it doesn't change the location and ownership of the electrons.

Having also worked on a social network and dealt with bots brigading back in 2016-2017, it is possible to apply facts and logic and ethics to these situations. Worshipping a "network" as some kind of neutral aether is greatly downplaying the significant opportunities for tuning the data streams based on knowledge and compliance.

Maybe it's because I'm in Canada where free speech is not what is protected explicitly, it's free expression that's protected as long as it's not invoked at the expense of any other Charter Rights. Hate speech is also illegal in the Criminal Code. These are factual matters that do not get the same amount of unquestioning reverence that free speech without consequences seems to get in some parts of the US.

About the historical theory that it's human nature to want kings and nobility, it seems that is mostly just our particular colonial and patriarchal part of the world. I'm not a historian or anthropologist but am pretty sure there have been societies that operated differently.
