This sounds pretty frightening. Non-American here, so can't really judge how realistic this is, but I'll take it at face value.

The thing that strikes me when I read articles like this are quotes like:

> What the ideology demands is law. What the ideology opposes is a crime. Once a legal system is subservient to dogma an open society is impossible.

> “There is no dialogue with those who deny your legitimate right to be,” I said, looking pointedly at the LGBTQ students. “At that point it is a fight for survival.”

It feels like these indicate a sentiment for a type of war that simply cannot be won. It's a rallying cry of "hey everyone who already agree with me, our opponents' mob is wrong and we should shout louder that we are right". Note I'm not at all commenting on who's right (if the article isn't overly alarmist, I'd say it's the author), but rather that this method just cannot be productive. The "opponents' mob" is well-organised and totally convinced they are right. And even worse, they can completely mirror your arguments and shout them to their mob. Aren't the "lefties" leading with an LGBT / gender / whatnot ideology that bypasses, dunno, "common sense" or "natural law", or something else that cannot be productively argued about? Again, I'm not trying to give such arguments merit, merely saying that in a (more and more heated) debate, it's pointless to throw arguments at your opponent that are basically unparsable to them.

In short, it's fighting polarisation with more polarisation.

The immediate problem is clear - creeping illiberalisation. But it seems like the root cause is a total breakdown of communication. Like it or not, "lefties" and "righties" live in one country and either have to get on with each other somehow, or you'll have permanent fights like this. Over time, maybe some Democratic Supreme Court justices will be elected, undo all this Christian stuff, and the "Christian Fascists", as the article calls them, will be just as outraged as the "Liberals" are now. We will be lucky if human casualties are low.

Compromises suck to everyone, but the alternative is even worse.

I recently start to play with Blender + Python to render molecular dynamics results. As long as you program properly, and have a large enough memory, you are able to produce very beautiful renderings. Many MD trajectory software from academia does not give you the freedom to use Python or only allow it in very-expensive paid-tier.
They let the dvd-by-mail service degrade and die from neglect. Turn around time got longer and longer. Discs were regularly scratched and unplayable. But it was great while it lasted.

The reason the streaming selection is worse is simple: content licenses. Netflix didn't need permission from studios to mail discs. They do for streaming.

Netflix has made themselves dependent on their biggest competitors for content. The moment they switched to streaming, their death warrant was signed. They have been living on borrowed time while the big studios ramp up their own streaming service.

What the hell are (somwhat rich) people doing with their money?

Housing obviously. Many rich people like having big, nice houses/apartments. Some even want to have a second house somewhere nice. Travel and similar experiences can easily burn basically as much money as you want. Schools can also be super expensive. Eating out can also set you back a lot if you're into that sort of thing.

Yeah, I have a Win Max and I love it. It's the only laptop that I own, but I also have a desktop PC and employer-provided MacBook. When I travel, I bring both laptops.

I've done a little bit of programming work on the Win Max for some of my open source libraries, and it will do it in a pinch, but I mostly use it for games.

I'm really looking forward to the Win Max 2, in large part because of the slightly expanded keyboard.
Most older Elves regard being able to leave the world as a kindness, given how twisted it has become. The racist ones are either bitter or don't have much life experience.

Elves are not only long-lived, but also bound to Arda. When they die, they rest some time in Mandos' halls and then reincarnate. No matter how twisted and shitty the world becomes, they are stuck with it. No matter the traumas they suffer and the wrongs commited by them, they cannot escape it [the consequences]. Because their victims will be around forever too, and they can't forget either.
so, you are saying, because of social reasons, entire generations are literally wasting money because "muh child is past 18?"

wait, let me get this straight. i don't get "Many of my friends’ parents financially cut them off when they graduated high school," i've read this a lot of times. does this mean the parents force the children to stand on their own feet and not extend to them financial support or do you mean they cut them off of their money as is. don't these people know about inheritance?

>and/or immediately moved out of their town to a lower tax area

this one, specifically in india is literally never a concern. taxes are same across the entire country so no one even considers this

>So that safety net of weathering the storm in a hometown may not always be there IME.

correct me if i am wrong but i suppose there are two things at play here. parents' insistence on always being right and not taking care of their children however old (when they have the resources nonetheless) as a sign of "american way" and the children thinking "i will stay at a homeless shelter rather than go back to my parents home because muh privacy, independence"?
The main problem with police in USA is that everybody can have a gun so police carries guns and are quick to shoot.

The solution isn't to abolish/defund/whatever the police. It's to introduce gun control.

Police in my country uses guns against people less than 20 times a year. About 100 times if you include shooting into air or against animals.

Because nobody has guns - criminals don't have guns (it just increases stakes for no benefit). So police don't carry guns and aren't in hurry to shoot. So there's almost no gun deaths. So everybody is much more chill when a crime happens.

People will still be racist but at least it doesn't convert into deaths so easily.
The Land without accompanying appendages: machinery, know-how, processing, storage, transportation, fertilizers and other inputs including seeds AND RELIABLE WATER .... is actually useless.

wandb forbids reusing the models and other information, independently of their usage, so they should find another source for their models

EDIT: as I am being accused of inventing it I will quote the terms of agreement and license, since maybe its own founder seems to not have read it or someone without training on how to write proper terms and agreements made it for them and the restrictive usage of "Material" does apply to its hosted software.

Note that there is no formal definition of "Materials" or "Service", so that it applies to all the contents of the webpage including the software stored there:
https://wandb.ai/site/terms

I have this simple script that I find immensely useful when dealing with multiple git repository present in the same folder:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

if [ $# -lt 1 ]
then
echo "$0: error: missing arguments"
echo "usage: $0 <command> <args...>"
exit 1
fi

for folder in `find . -maxdepth 1 ! -path . -type d`
do
if [ -d "$folder"/.git ];
then
pushd . > /dev/null
cd "$folder"
echo -e '\033[1;32m'
echo `pwd`
echo -e '\033[0m'
"$@"
popd > /dev/null
fi
done

In a folder with multiple git repos, you will do something like this:

$ gitall git status
[...]
$ gitall git remote update
[...]
$ gitall git rebase origin/master
[...]
Nah. There is a longstanding tradition of competitions in classical music, especially for piano players. The vast majority of concert pianists got some notoriety through such competitions. And no, improvisation skills are not something classical pianists are judged upon.

Orchestra musicians indeed are routinely hired via a process that involves auditions, but my understanding is that applies only to those at the beginnings of their careers.

Popular/rock/jazz band formation process IMO is indeed similar to how start-ups are created (i.e. rather informal process generally based on networking, though audition jams also happen to fill a specific position). I fail to see how corporate staffing is similar.
Yes. It's fixed in this one.
LoTR had an industrial revolution. It was called Isengard and people didn’t like how it turned out. Elves were anti technology so there would be downward pressure until they upped and left. Dwarves probably reproduced slowly and were recovering from being orc and dragon chow. Numenorians reproduced slowly and they were also recovering from the plagues and wars. This leaves hobbits who were idyllic. Oh, and the wizards were forbidden to show their abilities.

When the age of men begins, the modern world begins. Tolkien was not interested in writing about that having seen it’s horrors first hand. And as others have written, the population density was very low. Rohan mustered 7-10k riders from the adult male (+1j population.
Yeah wow, talk about misleading. It's not like it's unclear either, they make it very easy to understand.

These are the three options you have:

- Two public IP addresses (IPv4 and IPv6) – The server has a public network and supports public IPv4 / IPv6 connections.

- One public IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) - The server has a public network, but only supports either public IPv4 or IPv6 connections.

- No public IP addresses – The server does not have a public network. Instead, it only is accessible within a private network and with a private IP address.
Yeah I think it's a difference in philosophy somewhat. PostgreSQL and Linux aren't standards, they are just shared infrastructure.

If Chromium was to become the same thing we could have just had WebSQL assuming maintainers agreed it was worth landing and maintaining.

Btw, congratulations for sneaking real problems like B12 and other nutrient deficiencies suffered by vegans in with all the straw men:

> Most vegans show adequate B12 levels to make clinical deficiency unlikely but nonetheless show restricted activity of B12 related enzymes, leading to elevated homocysteine levels. Strong evidence has been gathered over the past decade that even slightly elevated homocysteine levels increase risk of heart disease and stroke and pregnancy complications.

Unrelated problems, really. Having written such translation library, I can say with confidence that the only reason for this is lack of interest in it.

Graph to graph conversion can be tricky due to subtle differences in implementation (even between different versions of the same framework), but it's perfectly possible, though not many utilities go all the way to graph rewriting if required.

Problems arise with custom layers and lambdas, which are not always serialised with the graph depending on the format.

You've been vegan for 19 years but does that mean you haven't had any meat or animal products in those 19 years?

Because from what I understand, most vegans do eat at least some meat and animal products once in a while. "Breaking vegan" they call it. And it's OK to do it as long as you're vegan, otherwise it's not right and you're a murderer.

Because only being vegan is an ethical stance. Where being vegan of course means posting vegan memes on twitter and stuff like that.
No, there was constant low-level warfare for 1600 years which even directly led to the Hobbits fleeing their original home. It’s also for example the reason why the troll-wastes are desolate. The major wars and disasters were on top of that.

It’s 1600 years of an active, organizing intelligence whittling the West away and which saw the _destruction_ of multiple major kingdoms and settlements prior to the beginning of the story. The people of Arnor were nearly exterminated as a result of the Witch-King, for example. These were not wars like medieval wars. They were wars that entailed abject slavery or genocide for the losers.
This comparison is moot. Home cooking isn't voluntary work in any sense, nor is it in any public interest. Its ensuring your _family_ has dinner. The alternatives (such as takeaway) are each more expensive.

The problem with your take is that free, public labor devalues paid, public work. This is also why its difficult to compete with 'free' services such as 'free email'.
Yes but this will lead to what is now a pretty clear balcanization of the streaming services.

The point of streaming is convenience, if I need to collect 5x or 6x film and music streaming services to have the experience I want, then I might as well just go back to sailing the high seas.
The more important downside I see is code traceability and verification. You would completely be void of both with that setup.

I'm not saying you shouldn't, as it works for you, and that's of course fine.

But, the key functionality of submodules is that the sumodule can exist on its own, as a git repo. The degree of dependency is then entirely controlled by the parent git repo.

What are you going to do with that? Keep returning errors until the calling function gets the error? That's what exceptions do for you. Do you have any guarantee that there is no bug in the error-handling code somewhere?

And what will be the final result of the error? An error screen, right? That's presentation layer. Any fatal error should halt execution, be thrown to the top, and manifest itself as a message in the presentation layer, right?

Throwing an error is not "not handling it"!
Stress can help build capabilities, though. E.g. people who run for the first time may get some paid, but if they keep at it in a smart way, it's just their body adjusting to the new demands placed on it. If they never do anything, their body gets less and less resilient.

Obviously there are some people who may have conditions that make it impossible or require medical intervention to perform certain physical or social activities. The vast majority of people can do these things and don't have extreme social or physical complications. It's more a matter of some willpower or having a smooth introduction and gradual or manageable increase of discomfort.

What are “lots of people”? 10? 250? And the chat is the meeting? Or is the tool and chat just there to schedule a meeting, which is the to take place elsewhere (in real life, on Zoom, or whatever)? Does the group of people change each time? Does it have to work on mobile?

> Furthermore, given the extreme volume of applications, the companies feel that they can afford to "hire the best" by adopting particularly rigorous processes.

Do you think that this process actually selects for the best programmers? Like, is it too rigorous, or is it instead measuring something adjacent but distinct from the best developer? If they can’t use it to hire senior talent, then that doesn’t sound like "hiring the best".

Depends on how you define it, they had no problem with metallurgy, cloth-making (with properties better than high-teach real world clothes and considered as magic by outsiders), advanced food processing, excellent weaponry, shipbuilding and so on...
An important thing to remember is that the discussion was about state militias being able to resist a federal army. Being in the militia was both a privilege and a responsibility - they had problems with people skimping on equipment & maintenance in addition to training – and that has to be understood in the context of the Whigs’ concerns about standing armies full of property-less men. They wanted militias tied to the local community, with their own property at stake, which is a rather different starting point than the late 20th century maximalist “no requirements, no restrictions” position.

Here are two books which cover the period discussion and the structure of the militia in early America. It’s a surprisingly under-covered part of our history.

https://www.amazon.com/Citizens-Arms-Militia-American-Societ...

https://global.oup.com/academic/product/a-well-regulated-mil...

The other thing we have to remember is how much more powerful modern weapons are. At the time this was written there was no concept of some lone wolf being able to mow down a crowd - they’d be limited to a first volley with the loaded, not especially precise or long-ranged, weapons they brought with them before getting subdued. The founders were thinking in terms of armies because period firearms were most effective in large coordinated groups.
