> The use of std::mutex (especially in frequently accessed structures) will bring your application to a grinding halt. Better solutions abound with concurrent sequential processes, or the Actor architecture.

I might be misunderstanding what you mean, but if heavy contention around a specific resource becomes a bottleneck, then putting it in an actor won't help you at all, because you've replaced the contention around the mutex with contention around accessing the actor's input queue.

The solution to contention is usually some kind of replication. So for example, if you have a shared hashmap which is protected by a mutex, the solution isn't to put the hashmap into an actor, but to split it off into, say, 16 hashmaps, and partition the entries according to the lower 4 bits of the hash.
You know what's entertaining though is that a lot of the very large funds that were rekt in the UST failure were filled with people who come from traditional finance. It wasn't just small investors with 40 billion dollars. You'd think they "knew" better...

As another reply said, Florida is the third largest state, with the third largest number of electoral votes. Since electoral votes are winner-take-all (with a couple of exceptions), all you need is a tiny minority to make a huge impact on who wins the Presidency.

The two largest states reliably vote the same way in each election, but Florida is at least somewhat up for grabs. So Florida is one of the most important opportunities to make a big impact with a small advantage.

If this seems like an incredibly stupid way to run things... yes, we know.

Interestingly Jim Keller spoke about this on (I believe) the Lex Friedman podcast.

He said something along the lines of 'Most people are pattern matchers, they are good at applying known patterns to problems they face. However, the best people know when to pattern match, and, also, when to go deep and apply first principles thinking.'

He then cited Elon Musk as a great example of this.
>the persecution of Uighers today isn't very real and both of those movements

The Uyghur situation is an example of a classic pattern: single-race ethnic supremacy doctrine leading to ethnic cleansing. If I were concerned about this re-occurring in my own society, I would look for which political parties in those countries were advocating for similar policies, and make sure I did everything to thwart their ambitions. I don't think "people demanding you use their preferred pronouns on Twitter" would top my list of threats, but I suppose opinions differ.

Again: what I see here is people confusing the trappings of existing authoritarianism (authoritarian governments do indeed control speech) with the actual root causes, which are usually much more fundamental and rarely look anything like "activists being too mouthy on Twitter."
They're still not totally comparable. US was having to force project across an ocean while Russia seems to be having issues just past its boarders, despite being geared towards land wars, judging by their lack of progress and signs of logistical desperation in abandoned camps.

Much of Ukraine's equipment is Soviet era just like Russia's is. USSR was a direct belligerent in the Korean War, not just a supporter like NATO is.

Prior to the start of this conflict Russia had superior numbers and pounced before Ukraine mobilized.

Russia also has the massive advantage of being able to strike from their own and neighboring territories without retaliation.

Constant nuclear-whining is preventing NATO from performing air interventions like the USSR saw fit to do during the Korean and Vietnam war.

Too many differences in variables. Russia's incompetence alone does not make this comparable.
From what I've read, you're partially right in that many are from "gay, bisexual or have sex with men," but have not concluded that it is specifically due to sexual transmission. The WHO used the term "leading theory" when talking about "sexual transmission."

> In an interview with The Associated Press, Dr. David Heymann, who formerly headed WHO's emergencies department, said the leading theory to explain the spread of the disease was sexual transmission among gay and bisexual men at two raves held in Spain and Belgium. Monkeypox has not previously triggered widespread outbreaks beyond Africa, where it is endemic in animals.

> "We know monkeypox can spread when there is close contact with the lesions of someone who is infected, and it looks like sexual contact has now amplified that transmission," said Heymann.

> Other scientists have pointed out that it will be difficult to disentangle whether it is sex itself or the close contact related to sex that has driven the recent spread of monkeypox across Europe.

> U.K. officials have said "a notable proportion" of the cases in Britain and Europe have been in young men with no history of travel to Africa and who are gay, bisexual or have sex with men. Authorities in Portugal and Spain also said their cases were in men who mostly had sex with other men and whose infections were picked up when they sought help for lesions at sexual health clinics.

The only concrete thing I think we can reasonably conclude is that it is easier to spread via 2 naked people who have a lot of skin on skin contact vs say 2 clothed people hugging, regardless of the specific activity engaged in.

Smalltalk (Squeak and Pharo, perhaps Cuis as well) does run on the iPhone. At least at some time in the past there were a few apps in the Apple store which had been written in Squeak. The restriction was that it had to be impossible to break out of the app into the underlying Smalltalk. And the raw Smalltalk itself was not allowed in the store, but if you were a registered developer you could get it and load it into a small number of iPhones/iPads.
It's the title of the page.

I think a sizeable percentage of pro-lifers have not heard a coherent argument for Evictionism and have never worked their way through the violinist example. I’m not saying it will change their deeply held ideological beliefs but I highly doubt anyone has heard all arguments under the sun on this issue. I agree there is too much low-grade propaganda and a lack of good debate that makes it tempting to check out of the discourse entirely. I think we need to learn how to improve the discourse though as democracy ceases to function if people check out of nearly every issue and turn almost everything tribal.
What got me out of homelessness was someone giving me a chunk of money and a place to sleep without judgement. I could afford beer instead of hard liquor and wasn't getting constantly arrested for drinking it. I got a computer and a part time job on it that eventually led to me learning to code.

It was another five or six years before I seriously tried to quit drinking for real, but from that point I was on my way out in a way I never had been before.

It's technically correct to describe me at that time as "prefer having access to drugs over shelter" but it doesn't tell the full story of my situation or motivations. This society and these laws had taken everything else from me, and now expected me to also give up the drink? With no support and nothing else, nothing at all to replace it? Nah I'll take my chances.

I needed a lot of other help that we have decided people are not entitled to, that we aren't obligated to give. But it's us that decided that, not them. If people aren't able to accept the very limited help we're willing to give on the extremely harsh terms we're willing to give it, that's our fault not theirs.

Thing is that you will always want to buy something from China or EU (unless their people and resources disappear).

Example: We imposed strict sanctions to Russia that almost cut any trade with them. Is the Russian currency valued at 0? Of course not. Because Europeans, Indians, Chinese are buying Russian currency to pay for Russian natural gas / oil.
> uh... no ?

Actually, yes. I was hoping people like you were familiar, but that was actually more to ask of you than I'd assumed since C++ has a tremendous amount of such language in the standard, going in I'd figured hey maybe there's a half dozen of these and I was off by at least one order of magnitude. That's... unfortunate.

Exactly which language ended up being in the "official" ISO standard I don't know, but variations on this are in various circulating drafts through 2020 "[if] the concept is satisfied but not modeled, the program is ill-formed, no diagnostic required", if you're trying to find it in a draft you have, this is in the Libraries section in drafts I looked at, although exactly where varies. [ Yes that means in principle if you completely avoid the C++ standard library this doesn't apply to you... ]

> I think that you are referring to this blog post

It's possible that I've read Andrzej's post (I read a lot of things) but I was just reporting what the standard says and all Andrzej seems to be doing there is stating the obvious. Lots of people have come to the same conclusion because it isn't rocket science.

> only the code matters and it makes no sense to ascribe a deeper semantic meaning to what the code does.

This might be a reasonable stance if the code wasn't written by people. But it is, and so the code is (or should be) an attempt to express their intent which is in fact semantics and not syntax.

But let's come back to std::totally_ordered, although you insist it doesn't "count as an example" for some reason, it is in fact a great example. Here's a standard library concept, it's named totally_ordered, so we're asking for a totally ordered type right? Well, yes and no. Semantically this is indeed what you meant, but C++ doesn't provide the semantics, C++ just gives you the syntax check of std::equality_comparable, and if that's a problem you're referred to "No diagnostic required".
The SEC Goes After Greenwashing
We do have a simple method, in amending the Constitution, but that’s been incredibly difficult to do for pretty much the entire history of the United States. For an issue like this one, it’s basically impossible.

The true simple solution would have been to codify the right to an abortion in federal law, as candidate Obama promised to do but President Obama failed to even attempt. Recently I’ve been introduced to the hypothetical that maybe the Democrats didn’t really want to do that because fear mongering about Republicans overturning Roe was such an effective fundraising tool. I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case.
In case some is curious about how it is in Europe: I'm a PhD student (physics) in Denmark and I get 2500$/month after tax. I save from 1000$ to 1500$ each month. Disclaimer: I bike everywhere and share a 1400$/month flat with partner. Also, the entire pay comes directly from the university, I never had to apply to get funding after getting accepted (this was the main reason to go to Denmark).

This is what I was used to at a prior day job (another one just didn't keep a version in source). When I took over cargo-release [0], this was also the default though not anymore.

Benefits of keeping the last version

- Easier to detect when a change occurred since the last release

- (Rust specific) It makes it harder to patch a registry dependency with a git dependency because the versions will never align [1]. This is why the default changed in cargo-release.

- The "next version" is just speculation. Will the next release bump the pre-release version, patch, minor, or major?

A downside to keeping either last version or next version is if someone builds from master, the bug report could be confusing unless you include the git hash (and whether the repo was dirty).

I've seen some advocate for not keeping a version in source at all [2]. This article advocates against it but doesn't give the reason. I guess one is it requires you to have all tags locally which is a silent failure mode when you don't and disallows shallow clones.

Yeah, typically MEV shielding == sending directly to a mining pool that promises that not frontrun it. It's not a guarantee though, the miner could decide to still frontrun, or a small reorg could occur, and another actor could replace the transaction.
Also, this one is likely similar to AIDS where it’s actually spreading as an STD. In that case you wouldn’t learn it as the media would think that’s gross and not want to report it.
Maybe? A lot of the Christian people I know and like fall in between. Regardless of their personal views, they look at the idea of legislating morality as counter to the basis of their religion, and then also the moral fiber of the current GOP, and go "nope", and either abstain from voting, vote third party, or vote Democrat (potentially while holding their nose).

I've yet to meet the hardliner who wants to ban abortion, but then also is sufficiently pro-welfare to really show they care about life, let alone finding a logically consistent path through all the other knock on effects. Carlin had it right; they tend to be pro-birth, not pro-life.

That’s terrifying
Untrue. You can buy 1 shitcoin for less than the transaction cost and it is still "worth" what you paid for it. More accurately, it is "worth" what someone else will pay you for it.

Transaction costs are not a factor in the worth of the asset.
In our globalized world, everyone suffers in a pandemic. This kind of attack would be as likely to devastate the attacker as their opponents, so there's really no motivation for a government to carry out attacks like this. It's another form of MAD deterrence.

If it was possible to target people with specific genetics, it might be a slightly more realistic scenario. But considering that viruses regularly evolve enough to jump between species, it could still easily evolve to hurt the 'favored' population group as much as 'enemy' groups.

On that note, if there's any silver lining at all to pandemics, they really do align the interests of all humans like no other threat/problem, save perhaps for some sci-fi scenarios like an impending asteroid impact or alien invasion. When it comes to viruses, we're all in the same boat.

To the neoliberal doctrine, to think the present is the best and sole possible society etc. Or in some other non-westerns countries to think the very same for their equivalent regime.

It's not much an accepted topic here, because here is still a platform someone own, but did you see the curios evolution of downvotes? Anytime there are anti-neoliberal posts they get quick upvotes to be subsequently downvoted, often without commenting about why. I can't say it's part of a scoring propaganda technique to hide certain thoughts to many others, I have no data, have done no check to confirm but that's a behavior I've start seeing time ago and regularly observed it.

On general media we know how things works anytime there is a "different" opinion, immediately put together with improbable extremists, ridiculed etc...

I'm curious if others have seen something equivalent and want to dig a bit more substantially.
Sure you can compose mutexes: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/thread/lock

In practice, if you have a global total ordering of mutexes, it's safe to lock any number of them provided you lock them in order.

CSP is interesting but it doesn't apply in a lot of cases, e.g. designing a lock striping mechanism over a database as described in the article would not be very fun with CSP or actors, as the article calls out at the bottom.

Have you not examined your beliefs at all? No 100% consistent belief system has even been invented, because the different principles that allow advanced society to exist conflict with each other - duty to the collective, freedom, equality, etc.

Should the tolerant, tolerate people who are Nazis?

Should people be forced to serve in the army against their will to defent freedom?

Should you have the freedom to choose the more expensive lawyer, and if so should the law apply equally to the rich and the poor?

According to https://web3isgoinggreat.com we're at about $70M lost to fraud, scams, and hacks this month alone. It's not a full accounting but it's a small baseline. It's safe to assume it's probably larger.

Governments and regulators are worried about it because when enough people invest their life savings in crypto, and it disappears, that's real capital that is gone from the existing banking system. Fractional reserve banking enables banks to use money they hold in deposits to fund large projects, loans, and invest (with plenty of regulation about how much money they must hold in reserve to ensure customers can always withdraw their funds).

If enough people lose their shirts then it starts to have serious effects on an economy.
You have the entire government bureaucracy and military as an externality for fiat currencies if you absolutely insist on viewing it through that lens.
I didnt mention pyramid schemes specifically because there are (usually) other laws that deal wit those (as you have pointed out). They dont apply because the very definition requires the product to NOT be what you are purchasing. When it is the nature of the product that matters, it is the respective regulation that applies. Crypto has no regulation, hence the desire to treat it as another regulated asset class, so the existing laws apply to it.
