You’ve probably thought about this, but I didn’t see it on your site: be careful about laws governing lotteries, sweepstakes, and giveaways. I could easily imagine people using a service like this for illegal activities.
People seem strangely focused on shooting the messenger instead of checking whether the story is true. It looks that it is:

There was a really good service like 10 years ago that auto deleted Facebook/Instagram and so on. Sadly (and obviously) Facebook and co were extremely unhappy with such a service existing and took devastating steps to kill it.

That said, it would be great to have some kind of service like that again. It shouldn’t be hard to erase a digital identity, that’s what GDPR stipulates anyway.

More info on the service I’m referring to: https://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2009/12/facebook...

Calls, letters, and in-person visits are still a thing, and they are all vastly superior to facebook. Besides, the alternative to deletion is a bunch of zombie accounts that appear to be real people but will never respond to messages. Best to make it obvious and not leave an account around to cause confusion.

> Even with single-threaded code, a random change to your codebase which increments a reference here and there can invalidate all your prior assumptions and have a ripple effect on the entire system.

This is true. The standard library for the language we use at work (Delphi) had a bug in its thread pool class which was of this nature. The threads in the pool would wait for work to be available, pop a work item, do work and wait for more work again.

The issue was that the reference count of the previous work item would not decrement until the local variable holding the work item was overwritten by the new work item (increasing the reference of the new work item also). In particular, if there was no more work, this reference would be held until program termination.

This caught me, as a library user, by surprise as I expected the work item to go out of scope and be destroyed when it had been executed, since no more references should be held at that point.

That said, spotting these bugs are quite easy with ARC once you dig into the code, given that the points where the references can be increased or decreased are deterministic. So as long as you have access to the source code of dependencies it's fairly easy to find the reference counting points.

GC on the other hand is completely async and opaque for the most part.
> How do they undermine the norm? They don't do this on purpose they are also just humans.

I read a book [1] that argued the upper middle class follows very traditional values (two-parent families, marrying before having children, having at least one adult working 40 hours a week) but doesn't really advocate for those traditional values.

People in the upper middle class will praise the bravery of single mothers and say there's nothing to be ashamed of - but when it comes time to have children of their own, rarely choose that for themselves.

It's not entirely hypocritical, of course; just because I think gays have nothing to be ashamed of, doesn't mean I have to become gay myself!

That would make it dependent on the countries it hopped through and subject to their political whims.

The Gibraltar issue crops up every now and then for instance so having control over an electrical connection gives the Spanish government more leverage.

Same with France and the dispute over fishing waters. Only recently France were threatening to cut off power to Jersey.

(I usually don't really care about potential backdoors from a foreign nation state, but the Australian police has shown itself to be really really helpful with foreign law enforcement agencies. The FBI recently used them to set up a massive sting operation that would've been illegal for the FBI to do on their own.)

Not just an established culture but a product with a long history of success despite its jank and problems. I appreciate the enthusiasm of new hires but often they don't understand priorities or that the goal is profit and not perfection (for most of us).
I don't agree. Yeah there are definitely a multitude of factors at play. But overall electric is definitely more efficient, reliable, and opens up a range of new designs. That's a very important part of the picture in general because it's part of why electric aircraft may start becoming viable earlier than would be indicated by the abysmal energy density of storage. Electric motors can be extremely efficient at their optimal load [0], that's not really a limiting factor. They're also much simpler and more reliable with excellent performance per volume themselves.

But one of the biggest advantages GP was getting at is plumbing. Moving fuel around an aircraft is non-trivial and heavy. It's just not feasible to slap a dozen engines of various sizes on each wing. Running a power line to an electric motor is a lot more doable to put it mildly. That has massive implications for aircraft design and opens up a lot of further more efficient wing designs for example.

Long haul aircraft will definitely be last if ever (it's perfectly possible to make green synthetic hydrocarbon fuel directly from atmospheric CO2 which in turn is carbon neutral, for niche applications where it's worth it we can move from fossil fuels without moving from hydrocarbons). For short/medium haul though the volumetric energy density of hydrocarbons doesn't necessarily need to be remotely matched.

Although all that said, I don't think hydrogen is going to play a role there long term anymore than I think it will anywhere else. Batteries have the ceiling and have too many network effects at this point, and syngas is close to as green as hydrogen (more non-global warming pollutants in use) while being what we're already use to working with. Only place I really see hydrogen having a niche is space, but even there it's not clear the ISP advantages will ultimately be worth it vs the vastly easier to store/refuel methane.

I teach many folks that have just left high school, and entered the military. Their being content with doing pretty much nothing shocks me. Seeing the military enabling the behavior, even more so. All because recruiting is so hard right now. Many of the recruits do join the military because they have exhausted other options. It's sad to see how productive society once was, versus where we are now. It legitimately makes me nervous about what the future might hold.
I’d be grateful to see this broken down by municipality (or by precinct within NYC). If it is possible for a company to develop a dysfunctional culture which leads it to fail at serving its customers, why would the same not be true of police departments?

If this hypothesis is right, then the problems of these communities are more tractable.
It’s eerie how true this sounds.

Asking questions works wonders in understanding the problem, the job to be done, the incentives, the constraints, the parameters people are trying to tweak to optimize for something, the tradeoffs.

It is an iterative process. Then when you have an "advice", you can phrase it as a question of how would a new set of parameters be computed in their model and their impact on other aspects you may not be aware of. You could see the computation happening, and they'd say something like "Yeah, but it would negatively impact XYZ", which you'll take into account as a new constraint in the subsequent sets of parameters you submit for computation/simulation.

One effect of doing this is that a lot of people will ask for your advice because it works.
It is solving a tech problem because the tech exist you mean
Both of those profiles would cause me to personally put them well within the "genuine" category. The small fraction of trans people I wouldn't don't match either of those. It's the lack of self-awareness which so strongly echoes manic delusion that prompted this hypothesis in the first place. They become upset when other people don't match their idea of how their gender should act, presenting in a boom/bust cycle where they go from overconfident to a breakdown and back.

Does your course of treatment change?

Is there a useful difference in the course of treatment? I don't know, but I can't think of one.

Social
I think the biggest difference is having an explanation and knowing it isn't their fault. My hypothesis is a defense against bigots who use certain examples of the trans population as weapons to argue against the rights and validity of trans people as a whole.

>Do people find this stuff compelling? Rank speculation and confident assertion with minimal substantive backing?

For me, it’s just playing with models, exploring ideas and representations in human-language space, which is fun, complex, hard… in that space, which you may call unsubstantial, every word references an individual graph. The more my attention system interfaces with the representations of such external graphs, the deeper my understanding of the world as a whole (or our shared models of it) becomes. So yeah, I enjoyed the read, Someone spent their energy on that. Don’t be so dismissive :-)
Some possibly relevant works:

Pony has a separate GC for every actor. I suspect that in practice, these work a lot like arenas; since they're very short lived, I'd imagine that most actors just allocate a lot and then blast it away. [0]

Odin (not GC'd) has an implicit "context" that has an allocator, [1] effectively decoupling the allocator from the code. One could use an arena allocator for any function they'd like.

Vale (not GC'd) is taking this the context system bit further and makes it memory safe. [2]

There’s a nice Vox explainer for this: https://youtu.be/UcN6RXT7qpw.

The part that’s exciting for me is that these are variable (not static) barriers. I love solutions like these that intelligently use nature. eg in coastal areas in more tropical biomes, mangrove forests are a good flood control mechanism and their destruction has lead to excess flooding in a number of well documented cases (like Mumbai).
To protect my mental wellbeing, I find that carefully selecting who to follow on some of these services improves considerably my experience.

For Instagram and Twitter, my rule of thumb is to prefer topical accounts to entity ones. That is, accounts that are dedicated to a single topic, no matter how narrow or large the scope, over those of people and/or companies.

Personal and business accounts, no matter how focused they are, tend to go off topic very often, and there's nothing to do about it. A designer or an art studio can still post about politics, religion, or whatever the controversy du jour is about. An account about logo design or some python framework, not so much if ever.

This allows me to have a feed whose content I sort of control. With Twitter, it gets even better with lists, so I have ones about dev stuff, others about business topics, etc. and the content there is almost on topic most of the time.

Since I started doing this, the impact of social media on my mood almost vanished, yet I'm still able to closely follow what's happening on topics I really care about.

When I want to see what's happening on the real world, I check my Facebook.

I'm sure aware of how bad these companies are with personal data. So it you think it'd be better to delete your account, then, yes, do it.
> 86% of guests who stay at a hotel for 1-2 nights use it

14% of guests do not use soap?

I can understand people bringing their own stuff for the shower, but 1 in 7 people bring their own soap for washing their hands?!

But them I'm amazed people use TVs too. I stayed in a hotel about 50 times in the last year, I've never turned on the TV.

I'm currently staying in a hotel in Paris, room service are replacing the bar of soap every day. It's ridiculous.
High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) is much more efficient at transmission over long distances than AC. It can throw off your intuition on these things.

In China, there is a 3300 km line like this moving 12GW of power. This is a little bit longer, but not by much.

I hate to be "that guy", but you guys have this whole thing backwards.

What men do is based on what men want. What men want is sex.

If sex is free then you can have all the liberal or conservative values you want, but it won't cause those men to work harder. Why? Because sex is free. Full stop.

If sex costs more than most men will ever have, then you can have all the liberal or conservative values you want, most men will still opt out. Since they know their chances are nil. Why? Because they'll never get sex, it costs more than they have. Full stop.

No amount of ideology is going to change these facts. No matter what the ideology is. (Of course, now I think about it, you could probably change it at the barrel of a gun. That is, the government could make blunt force laws that would force women to lower their prices for sex and companionship, or force men to work hard even in environments where sex is free. Or both I suppose? But that's not ideology moving men and women, but fear of the government's guns.)

And that's it. There is no grand philosophy behind it all. It's just a bunch of guys out trying to get off. And women out trying to get the best deal for what they offer. This is the kind of issue where liberals and conservatives generally go off the rails. They usually never account for base, vulgar human nature in their grand philosophies.
They are an attribute of 100% of modern countries.
Considering the ignition temperature of kerosene is much higher, the deflagrenation of kerosene is much lower, and that the hydrogen will expand in the immediate area before/as it escapes up, I don't think there's too much of an open question. They are both bad scenarios, and the impact required to rupture suffienctly protected fuel containers on newer planes means its unlikely that the after effects playing of a role on the safety.

My reply was focused why we wouldn't use this for cars and trucks. While fuel containers tend to be well protected on newer vehicles, the number of accidents on the roads still sees some ruptures/fires. The hydride tanks tend to be a better option since they will just smolder as the gas escapes slowly, compared to liquid hydrogen tanks which practically detonate either from the rapid release of the pressure or from the rapid deflagrenation (which occurs at a much lower flashpoint than gasoline).

While it is true that there are people who actually do propose completely defunding police activity or abolishing the police, they are a tiny minority of those who took part in protests about police behavior towards non-white communities.

It's so easy to make cheap digs about that handful of people instead of actually tackle the issues that this misnamed movement was/is really about.

If it had actually been called "Redirect substantive parts of the funding currently going to the police to provide alternate mechanisms to address a variety of situations and crises", would you still find it appropriate to make jabs about the situation of some of those who supported it?
I would suggest that it's never a good idea to be cooking several dishes at the same time in the world of software. Software and cooking are completely different in terms of the cost of making a mistake. A single bug in production can take more time to find and fix than the work in the first place.
I can see that in a commercial kitchen that it makes sense to prepare all the ingredients before because you can do this before your customers arrive and it's better to chop 100 carrots in one batch than 100 carrots at different times, but that's very different from software development.

Do you have a question I can help answer perhaps?
OK, fair enough, not an—independent? terminal?—problem: the syntax is largely forced upon us by the semantics, it’s not a Common Lisp vs Dylan or a Python vs Lua vs Ruby thing; and the semantics is the crux of the implementation approach (though not of the packaging organization being implemented).

If you want to argue against the semantics, by all means, but “industry doesn’t think it looks pretty” does not cut it, even “I don’t think it looks pretty” would afford more respect on my part (not least because the speaker is then able to explain what specifically they find off-putting or annoying, while “the industry” isn’t).

More details on syntax vs semantics in sibling comment[1].

Simple, but completely wrong. The bank never loans your money. When it wants to originate a loan it creates new deposits from nothing.
OK, but that doesn’t answer the question. That shows why you personally would feel better about it, but it says nothing about why a company should change a model that is working for them to a model that would require more work (it’s likely that Resolve contains components and libraries that would be very difficult to open source and would require rewrites — to say nothing of the general work required to make a project open source and accessible) for frankly very little gain.

Again, given the various codec, driver, encoding, and other patent and license encumbered issues related to video stuff, I would seriously be surprised if this was something BMD could open source even if they wanted to. And for what? The 0.0001% of video professionals who insist on using an open source piece of software to use for their work?

It works on Linux not for the free software crowd but because video professionals who are using specialized Linux servers for high-end editing workflows (using almost entirely proprietary software, I might add) requested it. As a side effect, desktop Linux users also have access to a pretty great editing suite.

I like open source too. I think that it is generally a better development model.

I also understand why specialty tools often aren’t open source and think that history has proven to us time and time again that the financial upside to OSS is not what people wish it would be.

I’m not saying it wouldn’t be nice. But for Black Magic, I honestly see absolutely no compelling reason why it would be better for them to invest a bunch of money and resources into changing a model away from something that works to pacify an extremely small number of users who aren’t even their target audience.
Yeah, that sucks... If you ever end up coming across it again, try to send over the project file over to support to see if they can figure something out. The times I've written them, they've been very responsive and helpful (but I am a Studio license holder), not sure how support works for the free version.
This is the question I hope to have answered. I feel that the article is touching on one aspect of a larger issue.

There has to be more than one factor here compounding the issue. If it was a single factor, fixing it would be a lot easier.

I mean it probably would've been very hard to route it through Europe too. Morocco already has powerlines with Spain, but I'm not sure if it would make sense to transport that much energy through the existing grid? Especially since very high voltage powerlines are inherently more efficient, so a direct link might make sense. I'm not familiar with how the EU grid is laid out though, and the little knowledge I have is pretty specific the Québec Grid.
Society would be a hell of a lot better off if more people practiced what they preached.

As a side note with regard to familial stability in general, look how dis-incentivizing familial stability and fostering government dependency worked out for the communities it was done to in the 1960s and who benefited and who is still befitting. That's why it's being pushed, because the people who benefited want to go around again but with different/more demographics.
