How is your Russian ethnicity different from average Ukrainian?

But yes, there is, sadly, some discrimination. It's got nothing to do with ethnicity though; it's the same thing that happened to ordinary Germans in 1939-1945, and for the same reasons.
Comments like this make me feel like I'm losing my mind.

I think it's far more likely that in 10 years we'll all become more used to rolling blackouts, and fondly remember we all used to be able to afford to eat out, and laugh over a glass of cheap gin about how wild things were back in the old days before things got really bad.

10 years ago was a much more exciting and hopeful time than today. I remember watching Hinton show off what deep learning was just starting to do. It was frankly more interesting that high parameter language models. Startups were all working on some cool problems rather than just trying to screw over customers.

That's just technology. Economically, socially and ecologically things looks far brighter in 2012 than they do now, and in 2032 I suspect we'll feel the same about today, but far more dramatically.

We've already pass the peak of "things are getting better all the time!" but people are just in denial about this.

Jesus God, where do you live? The sun goes down at 17:00-17:30 for most of the year here. I'd lose all of my free time if I did that.

IME melatonin an hour before bedtime, and setting screen color temperature to a really low value works wonders (I've been using 2000K at night and 3200K in daytime, sometimes even 1800K). I can stare at the screen for 16 hours and then go straight to bed, and be off in a few minutes.

If America were an experiment in utopian capitalism, then OP's point that utopian communist experiments last longer would be wrong. But since America isn't an experiment in utopian capitalism, this is just totally irrelevant.
I think it's very generational. I'm Gen-X but I cut my teeth on BBS's and IRC. I've been connected and looked forward to being more connected since the early 90's.

Part of my generation and most of the previous generations IMO have never fully embraced a connected world. Just watching how much quarantine crushed some people and how some of us doubled down on online lives that were already fulfilling (discord, watch parties and online interaction). I've always felt judged by my older friends / folks my age about how I live my life. (I met my wife in an MMO a decade ago and we moved across the country to be together.)

When forced to go online, the generation that rejected online have an allergic reaction. I can't even count the number of times I have been texted or called for something personally or professionally that could be found in a 5 minute search by people who reject the idea of even searching first.

Long story short, I think it will literally die out.
That's a good suggestion. Unfortunately, "derivative work" is an established legal term, and was before the GPL, so I don't think I should use it. In fact, it should be part of my definition, now that I think about it.

However, if I can come up with some other term, then I'll definitely take your suggestion. I'll just define it to be "this software," any derivative work, or the application of an algorithm...and then make the license apply to that definition.

I hope that makes sense and is what you meant. If not, please let me know.
I don't like more the default exports / imports. In this case one can import using completely different name and then it is even harder. Also it won't be changed while renaming utill the developer will go in all other places and do it manually

Especially when literally the exact opposite is viewed as racism too: white people moving to where black people live is deemed gentrification and also bad.

The GCC story isn’t that far behind - there are two complementary efforts to get GCC support into the Rust ecosystem.

One is a Rust frontend to GCC (https://github.com/Rust-GCC/gccrs) while the other is a GCC backend to the existing Rust compiler (https://blog.antoyo.xyz/rustc_codegen_gcc-progress-report-12). It might take a while for these to bear fruit, but it’ll be awesome when they do. That should address the very valid concern that the full Linux kernel won’t compile for all supported architectures.

And it’s not really a problem that the GCC effort will take time. The headline of this article implies that the Rust integration is nearly done but it’s only the beginning. Based on the issue tracker there’s years of work left to get everything working perfectly. That’s enough time to get GCC supported well.
Personally working with timeseries data my experience is that clients typically underestimate how much storage they need for a single state, let alone including historic versions. The decision people want more data, not more snapshots for a given storage spend. But that's timeseries.

Anecdotal, but: Yesterday I rode on the Midtown Greenway, chain of lakes paths, Mississippi River Trail, and Minnehaha Creek trail in Minneapolis. They each serve as a big artery to access various semi-urban parts of the city. You'd be surprised how many people are out biking. Each of those trails have a road that runs parallel to them, and there are consistently more people on the trail than on the road. Meanwhile, the trails take up half the space of the road, and spacing between bikes can be much tighter. Each of those bike trails also has a nice pedestrian path running parallel. I'd estimate the portion of the nearby population utilizing either the bike or pedestrian trails is more like 20-30%

I agree that improving bus infrastructure would be a huge help, but that's not mutually exclusive to improving bike infrastructure. If you haven't experienced biking in Minneapolis, please visit some time! Try our bike share bikes, and the trails above, and see for yourself.

The question is:- Is this the lobbying result of big tobacco (BT)who see vaping/juul as an 'existential threat'
We know nicotine is a mild and slightly habit forming drug that is deemed so mild in risk and effect as to attract no limiting regulations, like Rx needed and driving while....
It seems to me that Juul initially wanted to mimic smoking cosmetically as well as pharmacologically viz:- the vapor cloud additives initially added to create clouds of white smoke when used - like the outlawed red tipped candy cigarettes sold until some decades ago that kids put in their mouths until adult attention was drawn - whereupon 'you et it' Ha Ha. So Juul acted idiotically IMHO and all their efforts came to nought - as we saw today.
BT smiles and girds it's loins for the battle to come!!
All that is needed is a safe delivery vehicle - suckable pills seem to work, same with holders you draw through that disperse a metered amount into the air stream. None of these involve vapor clouds - some have heated filaments that volatise a carrier solvent along with nicotine (a risk as it involves inhaling the volatiles - which has already hurt some people.
The thing is:- does the FDA want less combustion based smoking for safety (= a good) or do they want less vaping with inhaled additives (= a good for BT)
So nicotine content will be limited, and pepperminty Kools will also be limited.(= Bad for BT).

I do not smoke at all, but tend to be live and let live in the case of pills/lozenges by mouth. I am warier about anything that gets nicotine into the inhaled air stream with a carrier solvent unless that solvent is carefully assessed and tested to be 100% safe. Some of the earlier carriers caused deaths via carrier solvent! https://www.healthline.com/health-news/lung-vaping-disease-n...
There is some linkage to THC vaping as the same diluent/carrier is often used.

C is, in fact, bad. The moment it was released. It's so bad that one of the designers of Algol once quipped "Algol60 was an improvement over many of its predecessors, and many of its successors"[1], I had no doubt C was at the forefront of his mind when he said that. It was already a decade old when it was first released. Its wide use is a textbook example of path dependence and fashion worship that plagues software engineering, because it was distributed freely along with Unix, and Unix was the hot new free thing.

GP was just emphasizing how old and crumbling that fossil is with the 50 years old remark.

>What if there's nothing wrong with its intended purpose

And what, exactly, is its intended purpose ? It was to rewrite a 10K LOC kernel maintained by a core team of 3 developers from PDP-7 assembly, in an age before the personal computer and the internet. It was literally created as an ad hoc, bug ridden and unspecified implementation, starting with the thinnest dressing over assembly and adding the absolute bare minimum required for a human to write ~10K LOC without gouging their own eyes off.

There is plenty wrong with it.

>I don't understand the "it's old therefore bad" argument.

It's easy. Fields where there are progress invalidates and supersede their own widsom. You wouldn't go to a doctor trained 50 years ago if you could help it. You wouldn't drive a car made 50 years ago. The only fields where that's not the case is stagnating one, like building houses or making furnitures. Things where 'progress' consists of irrelevant-to-quality changes.

Programming language design is in the first category, and not the second. Especially in the period from 1975 to 2000, it learned and discovered so much that languages made before that period might as well be cave man scribbling on cave walls.

Derivative works don't change the originals. They are still there. Obviously, if you're a purist, then don't consume any of the "newer" material.

Christopher Tolkien had no say in the Hobbit films (or any other prior films). JRRT himself sold the rights to film adaptions of his works to United Artists a few years before his death. The GP is correct that the Tolkien Estate sold the rights for the TV show to Amazon literally months after Christopher retired as director of the Estate... granted planning and negotiations had probably been ongoing for some time, but Christopher would've been about 93 at the time so presumably he was not deeply involved by that point.
Ah, Carceral Liberalism
Vast majority of voluntary prostitution services providers have major issues. Mental health issues, substances abuse and so on.

Looking at all sorts of research, having sex come with an emotional baggage for vast majority of people. Which is natural given the evolutionary role.

Can it benefit a society to push vulnerable people to provide services that are likely to cause mental instability? Can it even be seen as a neutral at bottom line?

Buying side is usually riddled with all sorts of issues too.

As a society, we should strive towards helping people to find mates organically and help to build lasting relationships.

More importantly, much of the country was developed post-1945, and all followed the same car-dependent model. Atlanta isn't a car-dependent city because of conspiracies. It's because it's unpleasant to do physical activity outside for much of the year between the heat, humidity, and bugs.

You sound like the person that yells at me for stopping at a stop sign and causes them to slow down to a stop as well. Sorry, but rules are rules especially when the stop sign is only there for the bike/pedestrian path.

A pedestrian walking in the same direction you are traveling has no idea you are coming as they tend to not have eyes in the back of their head. If they do something that surprises you, then you have failed to anticipate properly. It happens. Riding at 15+mph on a congested mixed use path is just inconsiderate. It is not a dedicated bike path pedestrians are encroaching. It's mixed used. Be considerate. Yes, it is a pain to slow down, but dems da brakes on choosing to use a mixed used path. Just do it. If you want to travel at higher speeds, use appropriate lanes for that.

I don’t believe this is the case, though it’s worth noting that the doses you typically find at pharmacies are much larger than you actually need. From what I’ve read it’s unlikely to be habit-forming at lower doses and it typically works just as well (if not better) at those doses.

We're at a bit of an impasse here because I simply don't find those self-reports credible. These folks are salty about the changes. They're not going to tell people that it's going swimmingly. Does it pass any kind of smell test that most of the traffic in these shops arrived by automobile? We don't need to ask them, anyway. I feel like it'd be pretty easy to set up a test to simply observe how people arrive at shops on neighboring streets.

It takes a certain level of rapport or even friendship I think to do this well. To me a difference of opinion is super interesting because I like to see if it reduces to a premise that is a new way of looking at the world for me.

Just last night I had an exchange where I asserted China was going to invade Taiwan near or around the US midterms, and a friend across the table said while it does seem like the best opportunity for them and the incentives are there, US air and space superiority mean it could manage full wars with both China and Russia without the need for a land war in either country. My view was predicated on the view that the US congress was too unstable and divided to muster the political will for a draft, and that a draft would be necessary to get sufficient troops to be a deterrent to a Chinese invasion, and his view was the draft isn't necessary because the real deterrent is US air power and ultimately tactical nuclear weapons. We are politically polar opposites as friends, and both views were indeed proxies for prior opinions of the US administration, but what was interesting to me was the basic difference in opinions was not actually oppositional about the facts, but rather that the thing I thought was important (mustering a draft) was not important in his understanding (air superiority). The debate wasn't over truth or falsehood, or even that partisan, but rather the respective weights we assigned to facts we accepted at face value from one another. I've become very interested in whether his air superiority premise is accurate, as it's critical to the quality of the prediction of this outcome.

Codifying not so much how to argue, but how to learn from people in the context of a disagreement seems like a very useful tool.

I think your information is incorrect. There was this thing called 'the cold war'. From 1948 on military spending constantly *increased*, when this report was written it was already 200% of the 1948 level.

I think the real missing ingredient people might not realize is here is crime. Small “businesses” like these or sole proprietorships routinely just skip legal requirements on things like paying taxes, not writing off things that aren’t legal to write off, permits, etc.

When you cut out all that you can eke out a living doing the spot jobs.

That's because the existence of outliers doesn't disprove the existence of a trend.

Saying that there are successful daily cannabis users and therefore chronic cannabis use doesn't have negative effects on one's brain, is similar to saying that you're holding a snowball and therefore global warming doesn't exist.
