It is, however in his story the spiders gained intelligence from a "virus" that helped them accumulate and carry over experience across generations.

BUT! The book and Tchaikovsky is still brilliant; he did a great job "thinking outside the box" by creating a thought experiment of "how would human-like skills, like reading, develop over time in non-human-like creatures, like spiders" - I'm pointing to the balls of spiderweb as "books".

Tchaikovsky himself used to study zoology and had a focus in insects. Coincidentally he just turned 50 yesterday. Happy birthday to him!
The farmers could start a GoFundMe to cover the cost of grinding it up. I'm sure a lot of people in Silicon Valley would gladly pay to keep this smoke out of the air
We can solve the food problem with not efficient crops than pistachios and almonds and nobody had to eat beef either. Of water was priced at market price crops would be chosen where that strike the right balance between hope much people value the particular food vs what else we could do with the water. All that is a pipedream though, since farmers have wells and stuff instead of getting it from the faucet like I do.

> For example, how did you accidentally get an instance of "Set" in the code path doing arithmetic on "BigInteger" instances, and why didn't that "Set" fail earlier during the other operations that are most likely being performed on the BigInteger (parsing it from a string, doing other arithmetic on it, etc)?

Because I got it as a return value from someone else’s function, and then this was the next thing I did with it.

It’s not hard to come up with everyday examples.
Most of the article is casting doubt on the idea that the "DORA researchers have indeed verified that this is the case, as they say." Pretty convincingly too, IMHO.
I can think of one "routine" prophylactic amputation that was and is still performed with no anesthesia on newborn male infants.

The Hippocratic oath really does seem like a marketing gimmick in light of many such facts about modern medical practice.
I see those as two basically different phenomena:

1. Is X capable of feeling pain / sentient?

2. Is X capable of having emotions?

It seems probable that (1) is a precondition of (2), such that we should not be surprised if there are sentient creatures (perhaps including dogs) that are capable of feeling pain, are intelligent, and able to produce apparently emotional displays without having evolved the underlying experience of emotion.

Human emotions are complex and came about as the result of a long period of evolution with an intricate social system built on top of it. The emotions that e.g. dogs show are the result of a few-thousand year history of humans selectively rewarding a particular animal for displaying a certain behavior.

It is, IMO, beyond the pale to suggest that animals like dogs don't experience pain or have subjective experience. (And the same goes for pigs, cows, and most other vertebrates.) That would come as a surprise to some rather intelligent historical figures like Descartes. I don't think it's similarly strange to think that these animals don't experience emotions in quite the same way we do, or that an apparent display of "sorrow" doesn't map 1:1 to an internal experience of sorrow in the way we might expect.
I wonder if anyone has actually requested it?
In terms of temperature, yes. Early climate models correctly predicted that warming would be concentrated at the poles, for example:

>Also in 1969, Mikhail Budyko published a theory on the ice–albedo feedback, a foundational element of what is today known as Arctic amplification.

This is generally confirmed by observations, as seen in the graph:

There are traits that tend to travel next to each other for historical reasons, as well as because they physically are controlled by the same genes. It's important to pay attention to them; one of the facts that really wrecked the reputation of Kim's Convenience (an anodyne Canadian show I've never watched) was that they gave one of the Korean main characters multiple sclerosis, and Koreans almost never get multiple sclerosis. It made the actress playing the character hate the show.

In a team/large company context, yes - a spec gets made then some (usually someone else) gets to write the code.

In a smaller context one, or two, people may be responsible for design and code. Assuming they have a good understanding of the problem space they may start with some practical things (like database design) then program, then document (if you're lucky)

So, as with most things, context matters.

Interesting. Can I ask, what are the things you don't like about duck typing then?
Actually LastPass has a solution to this they call Emergency Access. You set up loved ones, heirs, colleagues etc with their own LastPass account, and at any time they can challenge your account. After a given (variable) waiting period, if you do not cancel their challenge, the credentials in your account revert to their account. The credentials are inherited. In the case of your own cheat sheet (I have something similar), you can save the actual cheat sheet as an attachment to a Note saved in LastPass. Every now and then we test it, and it works great.

From 2005 to 2015, Israel changed its entire water system by building desalination plants.

Like Central and Southern California today, Israel used to issue similar dire warnings about freshwater supplies running dangerously low. These days, believe it or not, Israel now exports freshwater. Yes. tiny, little, arid Israel exports freshwater to neighboring Jordan.

Freshwater, like agricultural products, seems to be a product we can now cheaply and easily produce in abundance.

Sure, taking some water from farmers is an option too. But is it viable? I don’t know. Obviously voters living in the conurbation from Los Angeles, California to San Diego, California could vote in politicians who promise to do this. But once in office would politicians actually follow through on such a promise? I doubt it.

This seems like a very tough battle to me because many California "farmers" are extremely wealthy. Some California farmers are billionaires with a "b". If extremely successful businessmen with many thousands of millions of dollars want to keep receiving free water, they will probably very cleverly spend vast sums of money to do so.

Here are two apparently feasible options.

First, we are on the cusp of abundant, cheap renewable electricity (from solar and wind) which, of course, will lead to the potential for cheap desalination.

Like the aforementioned Israel, Carlsbad, California (near San Diego, California) already relies on desalination for much of its water needs. I think I read that residents there pay an extra $5/month to $10/month per person for desalinated water compared to what they were paying for imported fresh water.

Second, I assume the discharge water from washing machines could easily be used to water most of the landscaping in Southern California.

I've watched a few videos on YouTube. Apparently one simply needs to change the type of laundry detergent used so it would be safe for the landscaping, install discharge pipes from the washing machine to the landscaped areas, and control the system with computer to ensure the landscape isn't over-watered or under-watered.

The Los Angeles Times has become a terrible newspaper. COVID has receded from the front page, therefore they need some more bad news to sell. "We are running out of water!!!" is what they are selling these days.

In other words, this entire subject is "much ado about nothing." In other words, this is doom and gloom, "the sky is falling" nonsense.
Too bad it was created by a company that couldn't care less about building sustainable, badly-needed technologies that meet actual human needs.

Samsung DEX had a DEX on Linux app that started an Ubuntu 16.04 container with a X11 desktop. They developed it with Canonical and worked well.

Changing the law ignores the problem. This involves vast amounts of titled property with centuries of history. People respond very poorly to wholesale deprivation of property rights such that the political ramifications cannot be ignored, and the US Constitution puts strict limits on the nature of such deprivations.

This is essentially in the same class of situation as the government deciding to nationalize everyone's private home to solve some Important Problem. There isn't a realistic version of the world where that is a politically viable solution and the costs would be intractably high.

The average American lifestyle is very resource intensive. There are also many subsidies and social constructs supporting it. The end of abundant water is forcing hard choices. Less livestock and cheap beef. Water is an industrial input to cotton used in clothes, electricity generation, and fracking for oil & gas. Sacrificing wetlands and coastal groundwater to salt intrusion to squeeze out the last acre feet from rivers that normally flow into the sea.

Water increasing in price will reduce waste and increase efficiency. But everything will become more expensive, not just luxury or wasteful water uses.
Or growing water-intensive crops in water-plentiful regions of the world.
I believe dumping your trash in your neighbor's lawn is illegal. Burning unwanted agricultural crops apparently isn't. You could make burning the crops illegal too, which would also solve the problem, but that would probably face legislative barriers. Paying the farmers to do the right thing might be the most straight forward solution.
> Of these, he was saying that the most important is the last. If you have no memory of the pain, in some sense it didn't really happen.

That strikes me as a very strange thing to think. When I am dead, I will have no memory of anything. I should not conclude on this basis that any pain I have during my lifetime "didn't really happen", or doesn't matter. On the contrary, it seems like the only thing that could matter is the pain I actually do feel, for as long as I feel it. Of course, given the choice, it would probably be preferable to not have to remember the pain later, but I wouldn't call the gap between the two an enormous one.

Sorry for such a negative post. Maybe I should try some of those mindfulness classes so I can calm down.

Your post wasn't negative in the slightest; it was highly positive for exposing the culture at Meta for what it is. We need more posts like this one.

It is your superiors at that company who need mindfulness classes, not you.
This is actually not entirely true depending on how your structure your spending. In particular in the United States (the context for Coinbase's employees), the basis used to compute capital gains resets when the items are inherited when you die. So if you have enough wealth to take out loans on it until you die without ever needing to liquidate the wealth, your estate and heirs (again through some sophisticated accounting) reset the capital gains basis, and then can pay off the loans with the appreciated assets and completely avoid capital gains. ProPublica did a very detailed investigation on this in mid-2021 (https://www.propublica.org/article/the-secret-irs-files-trov...)

Good point about secrets. Fortunately everything I write is for "internal use only" at my workplace, or if it's a home project, then I share everything. But I can see having to warn a non-techie that you're giving something which could reveal secrets if they pass it on to a third party. Especially since the secret stuff will be invisible to them unless they ask.

" I've been told that medically below 1200 for a healthy and young male is low "

What you've been told appears to be at odds with human biology.

I provided a reference showing this, and you responded that 1200 is "safe". Which is neither here nor there.

Perhaps it's safest to assume you misunderstood or misremembered what the doctor told you about what is low. Anything below 1200 is not low.

With most creative endeavours about 20% is creative, the rest is work.

This is why most side projects (what the rest of the world calls hobbies) never turn into anything commercial - because making it commercial means doing the work part.

For example, writing a book. The writing part is easy, and fun. Then the work starts. First, second, third edits (or rewrites, depending on your definition of edit.) then finding (and convincing) an agent. Then ditto a publisher. (then more edits)

Then endless book promotions in small book shops for 10 people at a time. If you're famous then tours on TV talk shows. Lots of boring travel, boring towns and boring work.

If you want to write a book, write a book. If you want to be a writer expect to spend only a fraction of your time writing.

If you're working on a side project, then do the fun part. Save the work for your employer. If you decide to turn your side project into your income, then you still get to do the fun part, but remember that success will require lots of work as well (like docs, examples, training and so on.)

To be fair it's more fun doing work for the benefit if your own stuff - but work will be required.
No there aren't. I have no doubt the people you describe exist, but "vegan hunter" is a complete oxymoron unless you're talking about "hunting" berries. Even descriptivist dictionaries don't include any definition of vegan which allows for eating meat.
It's not just verbose, but has bad choices that impact the language to have to be verbose (to maintain within it's own limitations) that results in inferior implementations.

The "new object" paradigm for instantiation (instead of Class.new, or some other generator), the static keyword, the final keyword, no global scope (eg for singletons), the inability to do non-inheritance mixins without 3rd party libraries, a full pre-runtime to bypass some of these issues in the form of Spring. Many of these work against testability and JUnit just can't keep up. It's horrific and it's not going to get better anytime soon.

Leave it in escrow with a lawyer, along with a copy of your will.

If you are super cautious, leave an encrypted copy (or half the passwords etc) with one lawyer/escrow, and have a separate lawyer/escrow hold the decryption key/other half of the passwords etc. Along with easy instructions on how to decrypt!

End of the day, if I die at an old age, my heirs will also be old and possibly not into computers/tech. I prefer a simple approach that requires minimum skill/effort on their part aside from presenting the relevant death certificate/paperwork to the lawyer.

Last time I checked almonds had a lower water use per calorie than most food crops out there. That's the statistic that actually matters in my opinion.
California already has a version of this. It is called the California Aqueduct. It takes water in the north and sends it to the south.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Aqueduct

You can see a portion of it driving on I-580.

The problem is that Northern California hasn't been getting enough water either. The rains have been falling further north. Think Seattle.

Also the aqueduct is fed from the existing river system. The major rivers in Oregon and Washington don't go into California AFAIK.

Looks like you would have to divert the Columbia River. Haha.
