Well, first, I don't shave my head (I understood that as shaving the top of your head), so I will have to take you on that. Secondly, I believe that most people don't shave their head but their facial hair (correct me if I'm wrong). Thirdly, not all double-edged razors are paired with handles with safety guards - there are open blade handles; but even if you amount for safety razors, you still get more accidents compared to a 4-blade cartridge (they are designed precisely to prevent cuts).

Also, I fully agree with the price factor - they are less expensive, and as a bonus there is no plastic waste (at least in most cases, depending on the packaging of your razor blades). But that was not my point.

That said, I don't work for Gillette (or any related company), and don't get commission for saying any of this (this is all just 'IMO' type of comment), and apart from anecdotal evidence (I've had multiple conversations with people with 20+ years of shaving experience, using both 4-blade razors and double-edged razors, and they all, more or less, share my opinion) I can't really provide any data (maybe I could try to find some, but I don't care about this topic 'that' much).

I hope that this clarifies my previous comment.

==============

The Turing test you're referencing [1] (transcripts included) was a charade. It seems all participants and organizers were determined to create a scenario where the Turing test could be passed, regardless of whether it actually could or not. Turing's 'test' was never precisely described but he essentially said that after 5 minutes an "interrogator" would not be able to effectively determine whether an AI he was interrogating was a man or a machine.

I'll just list various details on the event, in no particular order:

- Turing specified "interrogators" who would be actively seeking to expose the AI as an AI. The test in question used judges who made no effort whatsoever to challenge the AI frequently asking questions like "How old are you?"

- The judges were not judging an AI but instead having a simultaneous interaction with two entities, and had to pick which was human. Some of the humans seemed to actively make an effort to appear non-human, which paired with judges making no effort to challenge the AI increased the chances of a random result.

- The "AI" that won 'replicated' a 13 year old non-native speaking boy, probably as an excuse for its frequent incoherent responses. Other of its responses were effectively refusing to cooperate or going on complete nonsequiturs which could again be excused for being a 13 year old boy.

- The interactions were limited to 5 minutes with two entities and seemingly slow typing from both the judge and the participants. Some interactions were limited to as few as 2 responses from which to make a decision.

- In the paper itself, the researchers were quite confused why some of the participants and judges behaved the way they did. Obviously they just wanted to be part of something "historic".

- The dialogue I quoted at the top was from a human, obviously trying to trick the judge into misclassifying him as a computer. And it worked, that was one of the 3 misclassifications required to hit their 30% benchmark for passing.

Sure, but who calls your main()? Usually when you're in a shell, which in turn calls exec and copies over some data.

If you're that worried about performance about a few string allocations, you shouldn't be passing around strings anyway, shell or not.. And simply call functions from the same process and use for example the file descriptors you already have.

You could also just simply pass a binary blob (messagepack) as one of the arguments, if that's your thing.
Wow, that's the actual manual, first edition man pages.
because it's exposing a scheme (for the lack of a better word) actively being used to keep (and increase) power/wealth concentration
In a distributed parallel computing scenario, dumping stacks from 64 processes via a signal handler would have created 64 different files scattered in 64 different remote filesystems. Ironically, the purpose of our library was to bootstrap a distributed communication network and so could have easily supported gathering of remote diagnostic data _if it were not the part that deadlocked_...

But worse, we were debugging our library linked into someone else's application. So, we would have needed their cooperation to add signal handlers. And, we naively thought our library had already been sufficiently tested and did not anticipate the need for last-minute debugging when our user moved their application to a different computing resource that was not available during prior months of preparation and prototypes.

So, the ugly app-in-gdb-in-xterm with X over Internet addressed all that with adhoc instrumentation and communications that could be folded into the existing parallel, distributed job on short notice.

This was also in the days of pthreads in C. The other valuable use of gdb I recall was for memory watchpoints to help track down unexpected changes to certain data. The other tool we got a lot of use out of in those days was Purify to help audit for use of uninitialized memory and for memory leaks.

Deliberate seasoning does help but it doesn't have to be an ordeal nor treated like your fine crystal, but some people like to baby their cast iron. Even the cheapest cast iron will season and work. My lodge pans are great. There is no need to buy $150 cast iron pans from artisanal makers unless you're just a collector of such things.

> There are very real risks a food truck faces in accepting cash: fomite diseases, counterfits, armed robbery

For balance we all know that there are [other] risks associated in accepting card payments.

We should also note that the card payment system is not "free", not available to everyone, and does not operate without collateral damage, not least that it excludes vulnerable groups in society.

> I'm guessing you're fine enforcing the truck owners bear these risks

Enforcing following the rules (particular not wriggling around them using legal loopholes) should - one might think - be a fairly mainstream view?
It's easier if you think about a smaller range.

Let's think about picking two numbers between 1-9.

Peter is given the product 24. He knows there are two possible pairs of numbers between 1-9 which produce a product of 24, (3,8) and (4,6), so he says "I don't know the numbers"

Sandy is given the sum 10. There are many pairs of numbers that produce a sum of 10, [(1,9), (2,8)...]. But she also knows that Peter did not immediately know the answer. If the pair of numbers was (5,5), that would have produced a product of 25. If Peter was given a product of 25, he would have immediately known the answer, since there's only 1 pair of numbers that produces that product.

So Sandy knows the answer isn't (5,5). Similarly, she knows it's not (2,8) or (3,7). The answer could be (1,9) though, since the product of (1,9) is 9, and there's another pair that can produce that product (3,3). If Peter was given the product 9 he wouldn't have immediately known the answer. The answer could also be (4,6), since the product of those is 24, and that can also be achieved with the pair (3,8). So there's only 2 pairs of numbers that add up to 10, and which Peter would not have immediately known based on their product. Sandy knows the answer must be either (1,9) or (4,6). Sandy says "I don't know the numbers".

Peter knows the solution must be either (3,8) or (4,6), and he knows that Sandy did not immediately know the answer. If Sandy had been given the sum 11 though, she should have immediately known the answer. There is only 1 pair of numbers that produces 11, but which does not have a unique product. Yes, the pair (2,9) sums to 11, but the product is unique, and if Peter had been given the product 18 to begin with, he would have immediately known the answer. So because he didn't immediately know the answer, and because that was not enough information for Sandy to say that the pair is (3,8), then Peter knows that the summation of the numbers must not be 11. The only other choice then is (4,6), and so Peter says "I do know the numbers".
> Another feature of this article is the lumping of all things 'capitalist' together, ignoring the very real distinction between commericial and investment capitalism, colloquially described as "Main Street" vs "Wall Street".

My (extremely tentative!) thesis is that there’s been a shift in language over the last decade or so in left/liberal culture, and this is part of that. “Leftists” are often very down on “liberals” -- in the telling of Left Twitter, liberals are basically centrists and centrists might as well be right-wing -- yet what “The Left” believes is, by and large, pretty much what I believed as a “liberal” two decades ago. (I suspect a lot of this is generational, driven by disillusionment at perceived failures on the part of the Clinton/Obama establishment.)

Likewise, I think what’s seen as “capitalism” has made a linguistic shift. I’ve always thought of small business owners and solo entrepreneurs, from the little bookshop on Main Street down to freelance artists selling their prints at the dealers’ rooms in science fiction and comic conventions, as quintessentially capitalist, but at least on the left, that doesn’t really seem to be how it’s used anymore. The focus is squarely on the worst features of “big” capitalism, on the principle that exploitation and destruction is where capitalism always leads. Since a two-person indie software company doesn’t fit that narrative of capitalism, it’s…something other than capitalism? Frankly, I don’t think the logic fully holds up there.

Back in my day [waving cane], I would have distinguished between entrepreneurship and corporatism -- which is, more or less, that “Main Street” vs. “Wall Street” distinction. (I also think it’s worth acknowledging that there are some small businesses out there which, depending on the yardstick you’re measuring by, can be truly, truly dreadful.) But, this is a hill I don’t have a real interest in dying on. If someone wants to argue that a dealer’s room at a furry con full of freelance artists selling sexy catgirl pinups isn’t capitalism but “market socialism” or whatever, then godspeed.

As a unrelated note, re-reading your last sentence, though:

> I think the real split is going to be more about authoritarianism vs. libertarianism, and the libertarian track record on avoiding things like mass famine and consequent societal destabilization is perhaps not the best.

The authoritarian track record here does not seem to be sterling, either.
> The problem is that "Link is reduced to a pile of ashes" should put Link into a "dead" state, and when in the "dead" state Link can't stand and be dazed.

Yes, this kind of problem is real. But recent papers show you can ask the model to do reasoning / chain of thought / rationales before coming up to the answer. They can do complex tasks in a series of small steps instead of trying to do it in one step and failing. I believe it's not a fundamental limitation, just a matter of "blurting out something stupid" vs "taking your time to think before you speak".

"Python is easy to read, write and teach that’s why it’s a top programming language."

Easy to teach? Yes, but the language is getting bigger and more complex with each passing year.
Add having to teach typing and it is already difficult.

Easy to write? Maybe, with a bit of getting used to.

But easy to read? Hell, no. In fact, it is one of the hardest languages to read, double that when you need to understand a big project. Triple it if that project has a bunch of classes entwined together.

You make good points on the other reasons, though. Python really needs a good and simple standard for packaging. Lack of good typing system is maybe a con if you actually can make good case for adding the whole typing complexity. In a language like Python, I don't really see it. The many ways of doing the same thing is also a major con, as well as the lack of good multi-threading options.

"However, I think python should be the top programming language simply because it’s easy to learn, teach, read and write."

Again, this was the case in the past. Now, things have changed for the worse.

But yeah, the article itself is nonsense. Speed? C extensions cover that if you need it. Bad syntax? Nonsense. What limited experience? The last argument is a sad joke, at least I hope it is.
Recognized that procrastination was often a form of emotional soothing - got stressed thinking about starting a task, and promising that I'd start it 'tomorrow' removed that immediate threat. Which worked until the stress of not completing a task was greater than the stress of starting it.

Introspection on why I was stressed starting a task and changes for each type:
-Sometimes ambiguous and I didn't know where to start: break it down, and treat 'getting oriented' as a discrete task
-Sometimes I was giving myself pressure that it had to be 'perfect': approaching it via iterations
-Sometimes I was just too tired to start: understanding my energy cycles and scheduling to do the hard parts right after coffee. And scheduling it.

Other commenters suggesting great other techniques, but for me the core was understanding and leaning in to the sources of anxiety to know what techniques to try. I'm still not perfect, but getting better.

This sounds like it would be better as a reader feature than a feed feature. However I am not aware of any extensions for providing this information to readers.

A simple proposal would be something like <comments count="23" last="TIMESTAMP"> and <score>72</score>. Then the reader could re-surface these items to you if they pass particular thresholds.

Of course there are some details such as ensuring that entries with recently updated comment counts appear back on the first page (or that old pages are scanned for updated entries).

Also I think WebSub doesn't work here because it excludes entries that have been seen before (which won't be an issue for your original proposal).
That's pretty much the exact same thing people said at the end of the Blair/Brown Labour years. And their decade+ of power isn't a decade I'm looking at with great fondness either (politically speaking anyway).

I think the bigger issue is just that the political system doesn't work very well, and hasn't for quite some time. Part of this is due to the system itself (e.g. first-past-the-post constituencies), and part of it is cultural (e.g. a nasty mean-spirited press insistently ridiculing politicians for a slightly awkward photo of eating a sandwich).

"would have to be pretty massive to exceed the increased mortality of Covid given its prevalence."

Well, no, not really? COVID is not actually very deadly in the grand scheme of things. In the UK the first wave caused death rates to increase to the same levels they were at in 2008, which was an unremarkable year. Later waves didn't even do that. Winter 2021 had no excess mortality I think.

This is one of the problems the vaccines face, COVID just isn't that deadly. That's why the vaccine trials were unable to demonstrate any impact on mortality. Actually, in the Pfizer trial more vaccinated died than unvaccinated because they didn't recruit enough of the very very elderly for mortality to show up. The vaccines were declared a success purely on the basis of reduced PCR positives. It's really an issue because now the vaccinated test positive at much greater rates than the unvaccinated do. Effectiveness fell from strongly positive to strongly negative.

My idea is the following:

A modified version of this Dead Switch, written in PHP to run on someone's own server as a private service.

I do not intend to make this a public service where people would signup. Everyone who is interested can download the code from Github or Codeberg, and setup on their own server, configure it how they want, and it is only used for them, no one else.

Beginner programmers need to start somewhere. To wait until a person is "expert" and release code seems contrary to the whole notion of "hacking".

Also, the code is available publicly and opensource under GPL3. If you don't like it, fork it and modify it.
"I also don't have to worry about running out of shaving cream or whether my shaving cream is too big to pack on an airplane."

You also don't need electricity.

That's a good point, and I will clarify our locations on the website.

Not the OP and not supporting his opinion, but these where not workers they fired, they were senior managers, and I believe it's not illegal.

I use 2 safety razors; a Merica Safety Razor[0], and an old Gillette Superspeed I bought used. They both shave well and I use either cheap shaving cream, or hand soap when in a rush - no brushes or special sauce. The blades are recyclable and come wrapped in paper within paper boxes of x10 blades. I started with safety razors for two primary reason:

1. Throwing away huge chunks of plastic makes me ill. And it's also terribly unnecessary.

2. The quality of new electric shavers is a sham. I had an ancient Braun, inherited from a friend's father. It lasted years, in heavily used condition, until I overcharged it. The foil was never replaced, yet always worked well. All new models require regular replacing of the foil, which I suspect, is due to cheap metals. The new designs are superior in concept, but not in frugality or endurance.

> What would the non-shell interface to commands for text processing pipelining (e.g. sort, cut, grep, etc., all of which absolutely need options to function) have looked like? Some people to this day believe that any text processing more complicated than a simple grep or cut should be done in a stand-alone script written in a domain-specific language (e.g. Perl or awk), rather than piping shell commands to each other.

I have no idea what the original intention was, but I could see the interface being Emacs or Vi(m).

A workflow I use a lot in Emacs with eshell is to pipe command output to a buffer, manipulate the buffer using Emacs editting commands (including find/replace, macros, indent-region, etc.), and then run another shell command on it, write it to a file, or copy/paste it somewhere else.

It's not for every situation but it's a lot faster than coming up with a complicated shell "one-liner".
