So much for that whole "taking responsibility for our decisions" nonsense.

Also, if you're gonna discuss religion, then you should know that there's a fairly plausible non-supernatural explanation for how Mary became pregnant with Jesus without having sexual relations with Joseph. It's not even particularly interesting when you think about it.

So? If they're willing to publish false or fabricated information to push their conspiracy theories, they're almost certainly willing to do other misleading things to push it too -- like making a mountain out of a molehill or giving some mundane fact a sinister spin.

This is not a right that is specifically enumerated by the Constitution. The current Supreme Court has indicated that rights that are not specifically enumerated by the Constitution are subject to evaluation and curtailment.
> Say you have a list of 1 million IPs that are black listed. A trivial algorithm would be to compare every element of the set with a given IP. The time complexity grows with the number of elements.

In the case of IPs, you just have to make 4 comparisons (for IPv4), if you store them in a tree.
This comment isn’t acknowledging that long-term solutions are necessary but not sufficient to make whole the continued injustice of trauma and death that will result from laws that deprive reproduce rights. It’s important to keep in mind there is a current and ongoing number of people who are dying, who have died, who are being deprived medical care (some who aren’t even pregnant!) and that an amendment to the constitution will not right the wrongs made to them.

What the hell. This is what Bill Gates was talking about last year.
According to urban legend, BoB once found the physical location of an enemy fleet commander and cut their power.

Only a few years back, a director of CO2 got banned for threatening to cut off a hand of a diplomat that had taken most of their wallet.

The Mittani himself, mentioned here, also almost got permanently banned for a encouraging the audience to tell a Goon victim to kill himself on the Alliance Panel at Fanfest.[1] So it's pretty rich of him to complain about toxicity in the game.

It's not a very friendly game.

It’s a stress test. It doesn’t have to be reasonable. This is what you do for performance improvement, you push as hard as you can to find the worst actors and fix them.

Performance improvements like this expand the horizons of what is reasonable to do.

There’s a circular logic problem where you argue that performance problems shouldn’t be fixed because nobody actually does this, but nobody does it because of performance problems. No, this effort didn’t solve every performance problem required to do a thing, but did it solve some of it.

“We didn’t do everything so we should have done nothing” is not how you build a performant product.

It's not only the ongoing war. Russia's leadership seems to be enganged in state terrorism for several decades now. Here's an interesting interview with Catherine Belton a journalist and author who did year long research on that matter:

Even if only half of the claims is true it's IMO quite justified to call Russia a terrorist state.
Which even the UN has had to admit Ukraine shares the blame on[1]. Not only that, the Human Rights chief of Ukraine stepped down and subsequently admitted that she invented a lot of human rights violations[2]. It's actually amusing that the UN complained about the Ukrainian shelling of a maternity ward in June with most reports saying that it was Russians doing, with very few correcting this to stating it was in fact the Ukrainians[3].

Here's the Washington Post saying that Ukraine placed their fighters in civilian buildings therefore enabling attacks on civilian infrastructure[4] as early as March 28th

It's not a "proposed bill," it's a bill. A bill by definition is a proposed law. If someone reads the word "bill" in a headline and confuses it for a law that has been passed, that says more about that person's lack of engagement in the basic workings of government (or more charitably, just momentarily inattentive reading) than it does about some supposed tactics. Anybody can fool themselves once by eliding the difference between "bill" and "law," but if it keeps happening, blaming the writers for being tricky seems a bit misplaced.

Ask HN: Why does a lot of research in astronomy prioritize the exoplanet search?
The search for exoplanets (particularly earth-like and life-containing planets) is one of the major priorities for the Webb telescope. More generally, it seems like this search is the source of much interest in astronomy over the last 2-3 decades. Why is this? I understand that part of the reason is that the area has seen a lot of progress, which is a justification in itself.

But in addition, is there any kind of exploratory document or statement of purpose about what the plan is if something is found? As in, what could it mean, where science/government would likely go from there? What new research/programs/missions it might lead to? And how it could benefit humanity?

These statements could be from NASA, other space agencies, various funders of these searches, and/or independent groups of scientists. I'm just interested in the big-picture intentions behind the search, if there are any.

Passerine - A compiled Language in the vein of OCaml and Scheme
I have a question about autistic experience that I've had for some time that I'd be very happy if someone could answer from their perspective.

The (highly functioning) autistic people I've known in my life all have this issue that they don't seem to be able to acknowledge when they are wrong. To the point of denying reality if it doesn't correspond to their mental model of whatever it is that they are wrong about. Is this common and related in some way to being on the spectrum, or just a coincidence?
I'm autistic and I feel like I have pretty good theory of mind. I may have been somewhat late in developing its sophistication as a child but certainly not to the point where anyone ever flagged me as dysfunctional in that way. As an adult I struggle with overly empathizing with other people, getting too involved in what I imagine their thoughts and experiences and motivations to be. I have complex models for all the individuals I interact with and have no particular problems developing them for new people.

I'm not particularly educated on this subject at all, but monotropism certainly describes the experience of living in my mind. Other people aren't a mystery to me, nor am I or my motivations a mystery to myself. I struggle against being overwhelmed by certain experiences, emotions, stimulus and changes, but not in understanding them.

I may not be representative here and I'm not saying I am, or that my experiences are a refutation of either theory. But a lot of what the article says rang true for me and nothing you propose has.
A lot of start ups run off of spreadsheets and some basic javascript html css pages.

So if the promise still exists, that means that there is an active call out for a promise using this key already, so we'll just return it. We know this because when the function that is executing finishes, we delete the promise from the map.

A purpose of this might be, let's say you rebuild some structure very frequently, like hundreds of times per second or whatever. You can call this function for a given key as many times as you want while that async process is executing, and it will only execute it once, always returning the same promise.

> I mean my own sister told me she hopes my 2 year old daughter gets raped because of my position on this issue. Doesn't that strike anyone else as something that would deplorable under other circumstances but we excuse it right now because we believe the cause is righteous?

Source that “we” excuse wishing harm on another person for no reason, and an innocent toddler at that? It is so deplorable that I would need considerable proof to believe it even occurred, especially from an aunt to a niece.
> These people want to put women in jail and they don't care about niceties.... The reversal or Roe was not about "kicking it back to the states", it was the first step in trying to make abortion access illegal nationwide

Which "these people" are you referring to? Roe was remarkable in its ability to unify disparate groups: evangelicals and Catholics who oppose abortion categorically, right-leaning independents who support some level of abortion but want more restrictions than Roe allows, and Constitutionalists who find Roe incomprehensible as an assertion of Constitutional law.

Now that Roe is gone, some of those folks will indeed try to "make abortion access illegal nationwide." But hardly everyone who opposed Roe to begin with: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2022/05/06/wide-partis.... Just 13% of Republicans are true believers who think abortion should be categorically illegal. The vast majority, 38% think it should be "legal in all or most cases." Most fall in the mushy middle.

The issue isn’t that patching and fixing code to be safe takes a ton of your own time, but it’s about the risk to everyone using your code.

From security risks to simple crashes, C++’s unsafe nature has caused a lot of issues in production in my experience. From renders and apps that crash to subtle security bugs.

Not having to focus on those when shipping software to customers means I can focus more on the actual logic and the associated bugs instead. I’m not getting back crash reports and CVEs that sucks up my time.

My users in turn aren’t getting affected by my crashes and security issues. Every person who reviews my code can also understand the language guarantees and stop passing my code through that lens and instead focus their mental energy on the other aspects of my code, like catching logic bugs.

The effects of a memory safe language extend very far

I didn't mention this above, but I've largely solved these problems (this understanding is what I concocted in the process of figuring out how to solve them). For me the root cause is often anxieties and solving those anxieties makes significant progress on solving the depression.

(Also, there is another node in the system worth mentioning: the tendency for "vortexing" ie addictive/obsessive behavior that turns off the brain's analysis / awareness, used as an escape mechanism to avoid contending with a hostile reality. In my case, video game addiction. Vortexing fixes one in the anxious-avoidant state, and realizing one is vortexing, aka, operating in a very small subspace of thought-space, can break out of a depressive spiral. It's a whole thing that I don't know exactly how to put into words, but I feel like I've made lots of progress on it and have the tools to solve it the rest of the way now.)

I like regex too, but only for use in interactive contexts where you can verify the results (editors, search engines, etc). It's quite like Bash in that regard. Good for when you want to get a lot done without a lot of typing and you don't care if it only works on the input you have in front of you. A terrible idea everywhere else.

I also agree that more verbose syntax would help a lot. I've seen quite a few attempts to do that recently (e.g. the project formerly known as Rulex).
As a kid I somehow stumbled into Discworld first by playing the point-and-click PC game where Rincewind was voiced by Eric Idle (probably after much fumbling through soundcards settings). This is how I discovered the book series and have been a fan ever since. Such amazing books on so many levels!

> How mature does a feature need to be before it's permitted to use them?

Each project has its own answer for that question; the acronym for it is MSRV (Minimum Supported Rust Version), and there's a field in the Cargo.toml for it ("rust-version"). It's not unusual to have the CI test the project with both the MSRV and the latest stable Rust version, to catch accidental use of new features. Unfortunately, there's as of yet no consensus on how to choose the MSRV. Some projects are more conservative ("the MSRV has to be at least one year old", "the MSRV is whatever comes with the oldest still supported LTS of Linux distros X and Y", "I set the MSRV once in the past and don't intend to increase it ever"), some projects are more aggressive ("we support only latest Rust and the previous one"), other projects are somewhere in the middle.

(Edit: there's at the moment a very interesting discussion about the MSRV of the "libc" crate, which a lot of other crates depend on, and MSRV in general, at https://github.com/rust-lang/libs-team/issues/72)

But in a way it is as heavily controlled, but just not by the government.

Large media conglomerates own such a large percentage of the media outlets that they are literally controlling what is broadcast by using the exact same text and "news" in every single one of their markets. These "local" stations are dicated to what they can air, and forced to carry specific segments whether it is the same pre-produced segment or at the least the same pre-approved copy that the local read verbatim.

I'm pro-choice but I disagree with your comment. There is an enormous moral gulf between an abortion early into pregnancy and abortion late into pregnancy.

There absolutely are misogynists and hypocrites among the pro-life/anti-choice movement, but not everyone in that movement is at the extreme. Those of us who want abortion to be legal nationwide must acknowledge the ethical complexity of terminating an unwanted pregnancy.

I'm increasingly intrigued by the idea of autism as one end of a spectrum of cognition strategies, with schizophrenia at the other end. Scott Alexander has a lot to say about this:

tl;dr:

Autistic folks have really tight confidence intervals on their priors. In these circumstances, sensory data that deviates slightly from expectation becomes very grating (noise and touch sensitivity) and sensory data that conforms to expectation is exceptionally rewarding (hence stimming and deep topical science-y interests).

Schizophrenic folks have really broad confidence intervals on their priors. In these circumstances, sensory data that deviates from expectation is interpreted as meaningful rather than noise (hence hallucinations and psychotic jumps to conclusions), but they'll tend to do better on tasks that require relaxed priors (e.g. the concave/convex face)
