I just went with the flow and shaved my entire head as soon as I thought it wasn't looking very good. There was a phase of my life people went out of their way to tell me I look like Bruce Willis, so I guess it suits me. You've already decided that's not a good option for yourself.

Anyway, I wanted to say something more practical. I once saw a guy who's hair formed what looked like a thick "handle" straight across the front. Otherwise he was completely bald on top, and pretty much all the way back, George Costanza style. He regularly shaved that bar of hair off, but as it always grows back, you can see the pattern of plugs, which looks far worse than natural balding ever would.

Ends up he started with hair transplants to cover widow's peaks and "lower his forehead." It was fine for a few years, but later in life, most of the hair behind it receded away from the transplant areas, and he was unable to afford chasing after the continually receding hairline. So he resigned himself to having a really wonky looking hairdo for the rest of his life.

Keep that in mind, whatever solution you choose. Your current response needs to keep the future state of coif in mind.
Yea, in my critique, it’s probably not a sentence that triggers people towards good conversation, but I’m not really sure how to broach the concept that everyone has free will when people are legitimating discussing how the people in charge of businesses have no choice and have to do something bad.

Tbh the defense of most business leaders sounds like someone defending a rabid dog or a killer robot’s action’s.

I really can’t understand how some people can simultaneously believe that execs and founders deserve the outsized compensation for making all the decisions critical to the business, while simultaneously believing in this neo-Calvinist philosophy where the elite _have_ to fuck over everyone for their own benefit and it’s ridiculous to think that they could chose ethics over money

Like, do they have free will and so you can make the argument that their choices led to greater profit and they deserve a big cut, or are they simple tiny dancers on the wind of fate who can’t do anything of their own accord which (if you were being consistent) means that they brought nothing of benefit to the business and therefore should get none of the profit?

> 3) Aging GUIs. Most forums have outdated GUIs which improperly scale to modern displays. They're either too compact (for an 1024*768 era), or they made a failed attempt at modernization and it looks terrible.

This is kind of paradox to me. Yes, changing UI can help attracting new users. However in my experience, changing UI will definitely upset frequent users (for eg reddit) and some of the forums that I frequently visited have this problem so much so some of them are abandoned because of this reason.
Can't you use the Mozilla Common Voice dataset for that?
This is great!

If you’re taking feature requests I’d love to see a bar or line chart showing the amount of taxes paid for the Y axis and year on the X axis. Would make comparing over time much easier.
Disclaimer: I have not written a single line of C/C++ in my life, nim was the first language that exposed me to lower level concepts essentially.

I have a webpage-backend life in it, re-coded a very CRUD-heavy and medium-sized Django project in nim for funsies. You do notice that the ecosystem is not mature. You may have read another comment on here earlier that libs often are not fully featured or have clunky APIs. ORMs in particular are an area where you'll find a lot of teething issues. I found myself contributing to said libs in order to fix some of that, adding another lib to deal with connection pooling for me while I was at it.

Overall though, the coding experience has been intensely enjoyable and fun for me, which is why I kept going. Pushing logic to compile time is trivial, you don't even really need the macro system to do that since there's a pragma for that, and voila, suddenly you are able to have compile-time evaluation on whether you're trying to query a Many-To-Many relationship in your database correctly, guaranteeing you that you won't face those issues ever at runtime. I love this.

And all of this was without me having done any kind of deep dive into the macro system, I was mostly using generics, templates and compile-time-procedures (which are normal procedures, but annotated with the compile-time-pragma). And said macro-system from what I've seen opens up a whole new world of possibilities.

Another fun tidbit is that python interop is effortless, in both ways, thanks to numpy. As in, it is effortless to use python libraries, as it is effortless to make python use a library written and compiled in nim.

Edit: Deployment with docker needed some figuring out first, but wasn't hard by any means. Could use more documentation though, which I'll likely add.
I use Ripcord to access Slack daily and it’s… very mediocre. It uses Qt, so it looks terrible (but at least it’s not a web browser). It’s more native than an electron app, but not by a lot. It doesn’t even use native scroll bars which can be really irritating at times. All images are thumbnail size and if you click to enlarge, it dumps you to the web, which slack.com just ignores. It logs you in and then doesn’t take you to the image or file you clicked on.

I don’t hate it (as much as I hate using Slack in a web browser or electron app), but I certainly don’t love it. I’ll be giving Shrugs a try, but it sounds like it’s missing a lot, too, so I’m not hopeful.
I omitted this for brevity, but you're right.

Yes, stocks and other exchange traded products like ETFs (especially their leveraged and short verities) can also be used for trading profits as an investment objective. That what pros and retail day traders are doing. But I doubt lots of people day trading in their personal pension accounts.

How to further increase the costs of medicine...
Issue should be addressed at the source, this idea sounds as good as arming teachers to make schools safer.

Still an interesting idea that could be used somewhere else.
Thank you very much.

I also opted to just add more panels. There is a finite amount of sunlight hitting my roof, the only advantage to tilting the panels are easier cleaning and passage. If I could tilt a single large panel at x degrees then I could absorb cos(x) more sunlight but the thing would stand up above my roof to a height of sin(x)*roofLength and would blow over in the wind.
Existing crypto libs like bcrypt, which I mentioned? Or are you talking about something more? The credential stuffing mention you make makes me think you must mean something more. Does Auth0 by default advise users that they are using breached emails/passwords? If that is default behavior then I agree it does add a shining point to their feature-set.

Maybe because it's not "another IR for LLVM", but an IR for Clang?

Gonna copy paste an old comment of mine:

-----

Syntax wise: Nim is to python what Crystal is to Ruby

Capability wise: both are incredibly powerful general purpose languages. Crystal is fully OOP, while Nim has a more functional/procedural bent.
Nim is better for DSLs and has a fascinating macro system.

For system language use, Nim is a better choice as you can use it with its Arc GC or no GC at all.

Perf wise, Crystal seems to be marginably faster in most benchmarks. Though at that level the difference isn't much.

crossplat wise, Crystal has no "official" windows support (and you cannot do webdev on it) while Nim has.

Ecosystem wide: Both are young languages and the ecosystems are tiny. Crystal has more and better options for webdev. Nim, IMO, is better for games, console apps etc.

Tooling wise; crystal IDE tools are far behind that of Nim. But both are terrible when you consider any decent language out there.

Ecosyt

Personally I like Crystal a lot due to its type system and syntax but you can't go wrong with either language.
> I'm sure the cops that sat idly by are also the same ones with a Powerpoint trying to sell AI/ML snake oil to school districts.

Coward cops and tools enabling cops to be cowards sure go hand in hand, yes.

> you made a shitty remark with no purpose other to gloat in the tragedy.

Correction: I made a shitty remark with no purpose other than to call out LEOs for the cowards they are. That you're so offended by me ribbing the poor widdle police officers for their utter incompetence speaks volumes.
It would be very interesting to do this experiment in a freefall environment, where you could release identical quantities of water at different temperatures as spherical bubbles into chilled air. This would eliminate the effects of the container, and of convection within the fluid on the effect. Interestingly, the article doesn't mention convection as a confounding effect, but it is one of the ways in which a "hot" system could explore more non-equilibrium states in a given time than a "cold" system.

> Most Western values came from Christianity, even though the society today is not as religious as it was in the past.

I think it's the other way around: Like with many holidays, Christianity usurped previosly existing ethics and claimed them as its own. It's not as if there were no ethics in the years we write "BC[E]" after.
Mobile support is the biggest feature for me. I'm surprised how many forums don't simply do width:90% and such with the comment field. I'm only on a PC at work, so that leaves out forums for socializing.

A lot of the remaining forums just don't play well with Reddit/FB. Things like a specific community or game. Things with some quality control (also including Something Awful). Or places like 4chan. Though out of all of these, I'm surprised that 4chan/8chan users have set up a colony on Facebook, but they don't expect to stay there.

I think Discord has some places of interest but there seems to be a very high barrier to joining unknown servers, unlike IRC.
Hi, I agree with each of your points you mentioned. Still it's kind of curiosity within me which is making me think to achieve this goal as we have ample time and this indeed is a business need.

It would be very nice of you if you can share few other solution other than using Ably's API :(

I thought this was Lego Transformers as in robot vehicles that transform, but I also like AI models so it worked out. I'm overall doubtful of deep learning as a road to AGI, but if there is any it would be like this one with units of high composability.

Does that functionality work for GCP too?
Agreed. I’m not sure why you’re getting downvoted. Finasteride isn’t snake oil; it’s been around for a while now, and is known to be very effective. I’ve been using it for twenty years, and I’m one of the few guys in my group of college friends who isn’t visibly balding.

It can have side effects, as I mentioned in an earlier comment. Talk to your doc and do your research, but I think Finasteride might be the first thing you would want to try here.
It's SEC playground so they can reject whatever what they want. For those who truly believe in cryptos, they will invest in cryptos directly bypassing the traditional financial system.
I have a handful of aliases, but scripts? What do you script in git? My aliases revolve around pulling MRs from GitLab/GitHub, having some nice pretty formats and pushing things with custom push options consumed by CI. Not much else there.
This would be incredible -- it feels like the tax form documentation is written in a dialect of Accounting English from the 50s, and just little things like adding some parentheses to group and/or con/disjunctions would go a long ways.

Nearly every year I don't feel confident that I've filled out my taxes accurately, and it's not for lack of trying.

Sadly that account has a track record of repeating their inflammatory talking points. Even after they are debunked, they just move an and try it on someone else again.
Sure, but that only works if you’re modifying an existing piece of infrastructure. If I’m creating a new cloud function they have no idea if it’s getting invoked once per week or once per second.
About Flat vs. Object stores

I wrote this piece, frustrated by, what looks to me, like the entire semiconductor industry is only exploring one single computer storage organization, despite the fact that recent inventions like flash practically begs for innovation.

For instance few people realize that the Flash Adaptation Layer in the SSD devices means that we literally run two filesystems on top of each other, because nobody has seriously tried to get rid of the "a disk is an array of individually rewritable sectors" despite this literally being untrue both for modern disks and in particular for Flash based storage.

Similarly, the "flat physical/flat virtual" MMU model is a relic from the days of IBM 360 and VAX 11/780 and utterly inefficient and unsuitable for what we do in userland these days.

As Robert has shown with CHERI, there is plenty of space to innovate without breaking existing code.

And yes, C can be object oriented, all you have to do is keep your hands from the primitives which are necessary to access hardware directly.

Architectually GPU's are a superoptimized distraction, like the vector-units on Cray and Convex computers were 40-50 years ago, but those too can function in a non-flat address-space.

But even C in OO-mode, and C++, Go, Rust, PHP and for that matter LISP and SmallTalk, would benefit from an HW/MMU architecture which focused on delivering fast object service, rather than flat address-spaces which software must then convert into objects.

But to innovate, we must first realize that we are currently stuck in a box, and dare to look outside it.
Funnily enough, that SALT deduction was disliked by economists, as regressive, inefficient and mostly pointless. It was bashed by policy think tanks from all sides, e.g. Brookings, CRFB, Heritage, CBPP, and Center for American Progress.

It’s a 1mhz processor and for scrolling to be smooth you need to move 2k of memory within one frame. That means if you get the timing right you have at most 1 million/60 clock ticks, which is about 16666, to do the scrolling and everything else you need to do.

You really can’t do that ‘with ease’ which is why c64 games typically divide up the screen so the scrolling area is smaller.
The shitgibbon definition is surprisingly specific about the metric composition of the pejorative compound, indicating that it must be antibacchic, which means two stressed syllables followed by an unstressed. So "assmonkey" and "twatwaffle" fit the bill, but common forms such as "asshat" and "dickwad" do not.
I’m sorry, I hadn’t seen that the video was 10 years old. Totally valid point. As of today, renting a Tesla for a day or two is easy and doesn’t cost that much either. The bigger problem is that you’ll want to own one afterwards, and feel silly in any other car.
I think it depends. A movie theater or a streaming multimedia platform? Blu ray in hand or Netflix? I feel the business model and format are factors in this equation.

In this particular case, the cost to the vendor of expensing merchandise is negligible because it is digital. If it was physical, or time & place, the conversation would be a little different.
Wouldn't that be more the publisher's fault?
That's where lives could be saved. Except probably more focused on dose & adulteration.

For instance a small container that would darken (like a 'spoon' that would be used to mix/shoot). Darker = higher doses/stronger opioids. A yellow dot for fent.

Pills too except you don't want to have to sacrifice your drugs to test them..

That's only likely to be an issue in the very small number of countries where prescription drugs are allowed to be advertised (only the US and NZ, I think?). Before moving to SF from Dublin, I had no idea what any prescription drug looked like - even the ones I had taken where always generic pills or capsules.
IIRC (my thermodynamics is a long time ago), but 2 applies only when the two (cooling system and sink) are near equilibrium, which is not the case here.
> The police aren't going to read your comments, those actually victimized, far more likely.

There are far more cops than there are even acquaintances of mass shooting victims (let alone family/friends, let alone the victims themselves). Statistically speaking, your statement is in all likelihood the opposite of correct.

> all from a tragedy that I am sure you believe you personally would had superman'd into.

Unlike a cop, I don't put on a badge and uniform and go around insisting that I should be given special legal privileges and immunities on the basis of protecting innocent lives from crime.

Your anger is misplaced. Instead of directing it at those who allow tragedies like that of Robb Elementary School to happen under their noses, you instead choose to shoot the messenger. Criticisms of the Thin Blue Line hitting a bit close to home there, bud?

Oh, I see, thanks.

Yes, most (maybe all) shuttle rollouts were less than the 10000 length of the Machrihanish runway, but that's really cutting it close. SLF Florida is 15000 feet. But I guess if the situation is so bad that the shuttle needs to come down outside the US, it's probably not going to be used again so why not mow the grass at the end of the runway.

For many years I used to host and help administer zx6e.net (a motorcycle web forum). Eventually the original founder lost interest in administering or even participating at all, so I took over all responsibilities.

As the years ticked by it became mostly idle with few new users, basically existing solely for the entertainment of a tiny group of long-time members that mostly didn't even possess a zx6e motorcycle anymore.

Between the nonexistent growth and increasingly long in the tooth forum software full of vulnerabilities I didn't really have interest in maintaining, I retired the site.

It wouldn't surprise me if a similar pattern occurred on other sites. Membership and participation diminishes, and it just becomes a pointless burden. I presume social media on smartphones has consumed everyone's attention.
The problem is that according to the FAQ it's more in maintenance mode than in active development.

> It really was a left-wing economic model with extreme right-wing social policy, plus lots of genocide.

So it was a right-wing political model (with lots of genocide) that happened to have a somewhat left-wing economic model.

In economics, economics ranks above politics, but in politics, politics ranks above economics. And Nazism was (is) a political ideology, not a school of economics.
