My take is: this is why president Biden doesn’t cancel college student debt. US is a volunteer military and without the college tuition carrot vastly fewer people would join the military.
I am surprised this is news - I had thought that spending 30% of one's income on housing was a standard rule-of-thumb.
Heh, I'm not supporting Fomenko's chronology, it seems totally bonkers to me. Still, I'd love to be able to talk to him and listen what he has to say about all these questions that you mention. Or, even better, since he new Vladimir Arnold (they wrote a book together), I'm extremely curious to know whether they talked about history, and what did Arnold think about Fomenko's theories; being a remarkably down-to-earth fellow, for sure he wasn't having any kind of bullshit. In my mind, Arnold mercilessly mocked Fomenko's shit, and Fomenko's couldn't do anything but self-deprecatingly joke about himself, defenseless in front of the greater man.
I have found my vanilla Fedora install to have a better Bluetooth experience than my Mac did. That’s quite a feat.
You go to arrest someone and he doesn't want to go to jail so he runs into his house and hides.

You could escalate the situation by shooting blindly into the building killing innocent people in the process, or you can realize that he isn't going to be able to hide in there forever. He has to come out at some point for food, so you just relax outside and wait for him to come out. You know exactly where he is, he's not hurting anyone, let him come to terms with his situation and realize the futility of hiding from it. Maybe even help him come to terms with his situation so he comes out faster.

That's a de-escalation. Often it just means stop making situations worse or more dangerous than they need to be.
There was one at last chaos communications congress (operational; pointed at a table and with a live monitor next to it).
Why is the choice always to do one thing poorly, or nothing? “Housing first” shouldn’t mean housing without other services. Why do I get the sense that the reaction will eventually be to stop funding the housing because it’s not working, instead of having a complement of housing/drug treatment/mental health treatment?

As a nation, we seemingly don’t have the will to spend money on these kinds of wraparound services except in the context of our prisons, which are a very poor substitute for housing and healthcare while costing way more.

We could get so much more done per dollar with housing + actual supportive care, institutionalization for those unable to live in that kind of environment without harming others, and finally, reserve prison for those who society must actually be protected from.
> "Not being able to transact GME" is one thing, but they disabled the ability to buy, and kept the ability to sell.

That’s because the clearinghouse margin requirement would be lowered if people sold GME, it wasn’t a nefarious plot to destroy the share price.

There was a massive buy side imbalance on GME which required enormous amounts of cash margin at the clearinghouse. Sales of GME would lower the margin required. Do I need to restate that a third time so you understand?

Common Lisp is a specification, not an implementation. It doesn't make sense to say that the GC is implemented in any particular way, because that's not part of the specification - it's up to the implementation.

I would bet my house that some implementation of Common Lisp somewhere has a GC that uses card marking, which is a form of reference counting.
I do plan to write about the overall experience, but for now I keep a diary in the repo.
Correct, I misspoke. I am only getting the DMARC reports from the domains to which I send email. Ionos doesn't support it and seems to have no plans to.
It's funny, because this should be a point of crossover for the (populist) left and the right. Basic nationalism on the one hand, "Buy Local" on the other. They all want the same thing, or close to it. The potential for alliance on economic topics like this is so blindingly obvious, and it's so frustrating that it gets derailed by "cultural" sideshows so that no one can talk to each other or realize they have the same interests ultimately.
Great question!

Mid-career means somewhere near the middle of your career. If you expect to work from age ~23 to ~65, the middle is around age 44. (Edit: if you start work at age 18, the middle is still over age 41.) Age 28 is much closer to the beginning of your career than the middle. Even if you retire at 50, the middle of your career is still in your mid-30s.
Thanks again for the bug report. We've managed to get someone on the team to reproduce the issue, it seems login-by-email doesn't work correctly in Safari for iOS. We found that after you click the email login link, it'll appear you're logged out, but once you refresh the page, you'll be logged in.

We'll work on getting this squared away, but in the mean time, perhaps try the refresh- workaround; or a different browser or OAuth login method.
You basically nailed it!
Plus, RED's goal is to move product. Sell Cameras. Become the de Facto standard camera for aspiring, indie, and professional movie and TV studios around the world.

Stealing a single picture out of a 60fps camera for no particular purpose won't put money in their back pocket. Building a 3g modem into a camera and paying cellular data fees to occasionally snoop into their users' memory cards won't earn them a penny.

The only people whom I could understand being rightfully paranoid about this are either making embarrassing fetish pornography or videotaping illegal acts for money.

While I was in residual proximity of the whole thing (I ended up in the same company but different platoon, and I knew/worked with people in Tillman's platoon), I wasn't involved in it as I showed up about three years after the fact.

There definitely was no motivation to murder him, I'm convinced of it. Armed conflict inherently breeds a general cynicism, and lack of clear goals and guidance from leadership only exacerbates that. We all said out loud, "this is fucking bullshit," more than once when we would give full-throated efforts only to be frustrated by sideways shit like innocents or friends being maimed/killed, no clear mission or point to the killing and violence in general, a commander who seemed more eager to give a teary-eyed killed in action speech over a dead Ranger than to actually lay the hammer on insurgents, etc. All that to say that Tillman's misgivings about the war were especially normal. The real conspiracy was in the outright lying done about the whole thing, and in institutional leaderships' efforts to cover everything up.

Tillman was killed because of miscoordination/incompetence. The miscoordination at the macro level was from Hodne as I mentioned earlier, in his attempted orchestration of troop movement that introduced too much chaos. The incompetence came from a few variables of the people on the ground that I won't get too much into, except to say that it wasn't out of nefarious intent but instead from confusion and bad training. The SAW gunner who pumped rounds into Tillman had a reputation after he left of a bumbling, incompetent rock farmer. Note that I never met him personally, it was just his reputation around the company.

His death wasn't taboo internally. His named was invoked pretty regularly when it came to target selection and deciding if you had enough awareness of the assault forces' positions to pull the trigger into a room or general area; you never wanted to accidentally kill your buddy. A new Ranger would be liable to get smoked[1] until fluid leaked out of his ears because he "could kill another Ranger like Tillman, you fucking moron." Externally, we were ordered to divert all questions/comments about Tillman to the SOCOM Public Affairs Office.

[1]: "Getting smoked" in the Army (military?) is a euphemism for punishment through strenuous exercise/tasks, usually accompanied with humiliation and general hazing

I am very confused by Table I, claiming Redis and HStore have a multi-key consistency of "Serializable". What meaning is it trying to convey? Serializable is a level of isolation, not of consistency, so how are they on the same category?

No, the clearinghouse wasn’t going to change margin requirements, because those exist so transactions are completed………it’s the entire purpose of a clearinghouse.

> Btw, I don't think moderation is hard.

It probably depends on the user base of the platform, but I believe it could be one of the worst jobs in the world. If you like the community and content, great, but the usual employed moderators on large social media platforms probably need regular therapy to distance themselves from all the crap they have to read every day. There is a huge difference if you have to read it because it is your job and when you do it on your own because you are hungry for something tasteless and when you can just leave a spicy reply.

Cheapest 100 acres in Texas is about $50,000. Land is not a consideration for him.

I suspect Elon Musk burns $50,000/flight in his massive jet lol.

Seriously though, I wonder if it's a good idea to do it or not. It's a ton of land. He could build an amusement park on 100 acres. You could build a massive mall where the top floors are residential as high as you can go. In between are all the commercial space every needed, including twitter.

Flipside, it's not about that. It's about talent. You can build a massive building but you have to get people to move their lives there. People have family in the valley holding them there. It would be probably more political to do this.

"Support me on this I'll support you on that" is typical and routine in the halls of legislators, although much quieter. If we look at this as DeSantis telling Disney "support me on this legislation and I'll support more of your self-governing district" it doesn't sound nearly as bad. It kinda happens all the time, everywhere laws and sausages are made.
Microsoft has been known to do things half-heartily on both h/w and s/w: phone OS, Windows RT, UWP, app store, etc. Even the Internet Explorer to Edge transition was long overdue, but not too late.

The way MS works is very much like Google where they have their cash cows and everything else seems like a diversion until they miss the boat on a new thing and it's too late.

Remember that Windows NT originally supported x86, MIPS, Alpha but haven't taken it further. They also make entire toolchains that could make building for multi-targets as seamless as they choose save final validation.
The themes and the vibe is very very similar to Star Wars.

Of course the Bible is much more successful, but it also had like 100,000,000x the "marketing campaign" of Star Wars...also it was a marketing campaign at loss, whereas Star Wars had to make money for the studio.

One has to consider both sides. If it takes the net of a 1 person around the clock for life to support another person, you're at about break even because it cost you one life to 'save' the other life. Any more than that and the alternative of "let the homeless person live life on their terms however they're able to survive" starts to look more attractive. You wouldn't sacrifice two lives to save one.
Steve Jobs told the Dropbox CEO his company was a "feature". You're saying Netflix is the same? I'm not saying Netflix is going to be Disney, but if they did their programming right they could approach that, eventually. At least an HBO.

For those saying they should give these people services as well as housing - the problem is that they refuse services, but are given housing anyway.

I just finished reading Sanfransicko by Michael Shellenberger, who is a critic of housing first.

He doesn't seem like the most trustworthy author, especially after reading parts of his other book, Apocalypse Never, this scathing review of it (https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2020/07/review-bad-scienc...), and Shellenberger's really poor defense (https://environmentalprogress.org/big-news/2020/8/3/bad-scie...)

However I think what Shellenberger is saying makes a lot of sense: you shouldn't give free housing to people without asking for something in return like getting off of drugs or taking antipsychotic meds. Shelters, yes, apartments, no. Addicts go into these places, overdose, and die, because there is no one around to help them when they overdose. It is also just a huge waste resource-wise and might even make the problem worse, because you are enabling people to live these lifestyles that they need to get out of.
> The city’s solution: more of the same, but waste even more money. Instead of addressing the rotting SRO buildings, the administration is on a real-estate buying spree.

The whole thing is a scheme for local politicians to enrich their friends and family in the construction and real estate businesses. They buy new buildings using public funds, let junkies trash the buildings, then use that as an excuse to buy even more new buildings.

San Francisco's government is effectively a single-party system (ostensibly the elections for city government are non-partisan, but let's be real.) Politicians face virtually no accountability, and who's fault is this? It's the electorate who keeps voting to put the same failures back in charge. This is what the people of San Francisco vote for, and how does anybody propose to fix that?
So in your "not pro-slavery" view police are allowed to summarily execute people on the street?

That's what your stated "taboo truth" amounts too, it's fine for police to kill people as long as you have judged them worthy of death.
This is one of those "Peak NH" comments, no offense meant. Conscription may be politically unpopular, but pretending that automation will be a solution to declining army enlistment anytime soon is pretty out of touch with reality

Are you suggesting that it is disrespectful to talk to a child while she/he is screaming? That’s not even disrespectful to an adult.
I guess a lot depends of what are the grounds of favoritism. You know, sometimes just being good at doing stuff and having somebody who has first hand experience of you being good at something and then backs you for something else that they couldn't objectively know you'd be good (compared to tons of other candidates) but, you know, good old gut feeling "I know this person has it" ... well that's technically favoritism, yet it certainly feels quite different from favouring somebody for other reasons like being family or doing some kind of personal favours.
The existence of the StackRoot type is definitely a missing piece of the puzzle, thank you. So we have Object and StackRoot. But then what is a "root object?"

let rooted: Vec<Object<'root>> = ...; // we have a vec of root objects

I would expect this vector to just contain Objects?

I think conceptually you have two different Object types: a "dangling" Object that is subject to collection, and a "rooted" Object which is referenced by a root stored in the RootSet. Part of my confusion is that there's no vocabulary to distinguish these. In this code:

root!(value, gc)

Visually it appears to "do something" to value but in fact there's two different variables, with two different types, both named 'value'. It would be clearer at least to me to reify that by giving them different types instead of calling both Object.

In a moving GC this distinction becomes unavoidable: dangling objects are raw pointers, while rooted objects refer to the root location itself and require double indirection to access.

Anyways it's just a suggestion, take it or leave it. It's very cool how Rust's lifetimes let you enforce that no collections happen while an Object dangles.

One last thought: because you're already on the hook for passing in the GC when dereferencing an Object, you could exploit this by making Object references just a 32 bit offset, relative to the GC's heap. This would let you save some memory.
I am honestly baffled that anyone thinks that nations would give up their monopoly power when it comes to managing the money supply. Just look at governmental reactions to Libra/Diem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diem_(digital_currency)#Recept...

Yes, agree about the last paragraph 100%. I'm only 19 and got into programming maybe 7 years ago. At the time I was gifted a Raspbery Pi. Next to the infamous Scratch, there were about 10 pygame examples. I got the itch to modify them. Trough trial and error I somehow found the source files and I just started removing code and changing numbers. At some point I started copying lines I've seen and recomposing them.

As I wasn't allowed to just go on the internet (yet), some time later I also got a CS book. By studying that, I finally was able to "program" what you would call it.

I agree all the way: Don't read about programming. IMHO, taking a (veeery easy, in my case it was Super Simon in ~200L Python) program, game if you wish, and starting to just change stuff around. This gets you comfortable with the concept of coding. "Formal" education (ie. books etc.) are only required once you already are fascinated.

This is the advantage of the young: They are not afraid to try out and break things. I'd suggest using this phase of life as it is intended.
My personal theory is that Fomenko had figured out the errors in his books pretty early, yet, they were very popular and he had established a very lucrative career for himself in the difficult 1990s, so he just continued to publish more books rehashing the same thing over and over and over again, despite knowing the theory to be false.

In Russian bookstores of the period there were very long bookshelves filled with his books.
Europe can rapidly reduce its gas dependency
It's been awhile since I've gotten to use my "Why phage aren't quite as awesome as it seems on first glance", from the perspective of an infectious disease epidemiologist who has been super-interested in phage for my whole career (literally tried to get a job out of undergrad with a phage therapeutics startup).

1) There's no such thing as a "broad spectrum" phage. They're organism specific, and that means not only would you need to keep a phage library on hand, but you'd have to do a lot of diagnostic tests. That's going to be both expensive and tricky. There are treatment guidelines for things like sepsis right now that are basically un-doable with phage therapy because of the time it takes to tune a phage library.

2) Phages are living things. Not only is that a weird regulatory framework to be in for a drug, but it also means that you need to be able to keep phage alive. In contrast, antibiotics are inert.

3) Phage therapy is also relatively new in the West (after being abandoned for some very real, very serious safety concerns back in the day), which means there's just less of a R&D infrastructure behind it.

There have been people working on commercializing phage therapy since I was in undergrad (I'm now a tenured professor). The problem is it's hard, and antibiotics are so much better as a treatment that there's kind of a ceiling on the excitement that they can generate, especially when trying to treat at scale.
That's what they were saying about socialism in the USSR

Conscription would spur an immediate and vehement backlash against the military.

But more importantly, there is no actual shortage of potential recruits. There is a shortage of recruits who meet the current military standards. You can very easily lower your standards and get more recruits from the pool that is currently disqualified for medical issues, criminal record, and general stupidity (that is, more stupid than the military currently is).

The reason why this isn't currently done is that the military doesn't need the bodies that badly, certainly not badly enough to justify the increased expense and frustration of increased shitbaggery.

The recruiting budget is huge, and I'm sure that the military is happy to mull this over in hopes of getting more high-quality candidates. If it doesn't work, they'll try something else.
It's also easily conceivable that in less than 100 decades from now, global unrest or war will make us regress 100 decades. Climate change in particular is going to cause a lot of problems with feeding people.
Money isn't the problem, there is plenty of money. The problem is the corrupt politicians who siphon that money off for their friends and family instead of using the money for the intended purpose. And the root of that problem is the electorate who tolerate this BS from their politicians.
