The experimental Kotlin WASM uses some experimental GC related flags in chrome. That stuff is working right now and will no doubt stop being experimental at some point. Tail calls might take a bit longer but there are probably people working on that too. But there are probably ways around that. WASM is already useful today and will incrementally get more useful over the next few years.
that seems like a situation where one should fight fire with fire.

In my experience I think it usually comes from a mistaken idea that all fields of science are equally predictive, which I think comes from a popular misconception that "science" = "physics".

I think we colloquially get drawn into thinking that science-as-in-physics is the same thing as science-as-in-biology is the same thing as science-as-in-economics, especially when it comes to what they all mean by "fact" and "proven". Media then takes advantage of this general misunderstanding to make "weather facts" sound like they are just as concrete as "fundamental physics facts" because it gets more attention. Then we find ourselves arguing about climate science with the same level of self-assured veracity we might argue about billiard balls on an ideal surface in a vacuum.

>I personally wouldn't consider Gab far right but I certainly respect your opinion there.

A story about how Republican Ron Johnson is a liability because he acknowledges that Joe Biden won the last US election is currently in the top 5 on Gab's frontpage. Many similar stories are highly ranked as well. It seems quite self-evident that Gab's main audience leans conservative (in the American sense) and that conspiracy theories à "stolen election" are quite popular there. These do seem quite "far right" to me even if they might have mainstream support at the moment.

Right, and in doing so facilitates avoiding that 'problem', as I said top-level.

I don't really have a problem with it personally, for what it's worth, I find that law a bit problematic (it seems to preclude 'positive/affirmative action', not that I like that much either, for one thing: can a male applicant sue for being passed over in favour of a lesser-qualified female candidate because a firm wanted to improve its diversity?) I was just discussing it.
> an ever increasing portion of the public doesn’t believe in science

It's incredibly myopic to state first that you don't believe in the science news you hear, and yet somehow you (a) believe the news you hear about how much of the public believes in science, which itself would appear to be [social] science news, and (b) have apparently discounted the probability that the public just like you doesn't believe in science news.

Really, it's not myopic, it's xenophobic and bigoted.

> Disadvantages:

> - The syntax space of the return type is very crowded already, and this would add more complexity there rather than fitting in cleanly with existing declaration spaces within the body of the function.

> - Likely to be an implementation detail and valid to use on a function with a normal return type in its forward declaration. This isn't obvious when placed in the declaration position, and it might well be unnecessarily added to forward declarations just because of its position.

> - Removes the ability to both specify a specific return type and a pattern for binding parts of that object to names. Instead, the type must be inferred from the pattern. This ended up feeling like a deep and fundamental problem where we would lose important expressivity to disambiguate the return type from patterns. For example, when the return type is some form of sum type or variant, the pattern space is both especially attractive to use and fundamentally fails to express enough information to capture the type.

I dunno, "stopping data transfer" sounds like a ban by another name to me.
Probably they are required to. There are lots of required-to-track stats, and it's almost always required to track by race in the US.
But that's the point - this would enable new use cases, like for example performing emergency organ replacement at a smaller hospital, when transport is too dangerous for the person, or when a helicopter is not available.

Also, you might be transporting organs from a smaller place to a big hospital - donors that got into an accident probably didn't take care to have it near a helipad.

Gab's userbase is described as far right in the lede of its Wikipedia article[0], which goes on to justify that descriptor by describing the types of views (neo-Nazism, white nationalism, antisemitism, QAnon, et al.) that can commonly be found there. Among the sources cited there is Fox News[1], which describes it as "known for attracting a far-right audience."

To my understanding, Fox News is pretty commonly accepted as a news source that's right of center, and even they've run articles describing Gab as far right.

I know it's uncool to do political bikeshedding on HN, but if you'll indulge my curiosity for a minute, how would you describe Gab's politics if not "far right," and are there any spaces you would personally label that way?

>As a Brazilian, I would be completely ok with that. We can handle people telling us those things.

Would you? Because this would absolutely escalate from words to actions. I could foresee this leading to quotas that if they're not met carry economic sanctions with them. That doesn't improve Brazil, does it?

Sovereignty means that nobody outside of Brazil gets a say without offering something major in return.
The principle is exactly the same. Physicians missprescribe med, and society follows up by under-prescribing meds.

This is the principle I as talking about and it lines up just fine. The difference is that you're saying it's different "because controlled substances". Yes this is a difference, but as far as I'm concerned this is simply arbitrary, as it's a different authority making decrees (vs. doctors just deciding on their own)

I'm talking about the policy as a whole. I'm not interested in asking the various stakeholders why, only to have them point fingers at each other.
fair point, hence the conditional "might". The point I was trying to make was that with regards to land usage one energy source is not vastly more efficient with regards to land use than the other.
I don't know if that's for the runway or for the tires (or just heat in general), but I wonder if those factors played into things in the UK?

Some afternoon and evening flights are sometimes cancelled at LAS if it's over 110°. Something to do with the expansion of the fuel due to the heat, and long-distance jets can't get enough on board.

It's in the local newspaper there occasionally, and should be Googleable.
I've been really enjoying Obsidian. I think of it as VSCode but for Markdown, with an extension marketplace more for notes than code.

Turning markdown into an interactive kanban is especially powerful, and more extensions are being added all the time.

The issue is with the "for all" statement.
I get the sense that the pickup truck market in the U.S. particularly in suburbs is driven by brand marketing rather than consumer needs. People are paying a premium, in the cost of purchasing as well as in the cost of insuring, maintaining, and fueling, for the image of the rugged individualistic American ready for any terrain, weather, or load that needs hauling, and maximally armored to "win" should they ever hit a person or vehicle in their path.

There's a subset of contexts where they make sense although I think for _most_ people they're infrequent enough that it's way more sensible to use a cargo van or a sedan and then just rent a truck during the minority of times when you actually need one.
I would expect their asphalt being a lot harder and more heat resistant than the one that let my motorcycle fall multiple times in the past years because it melt during summer heat. I clearly wouldn't expect airplanes wheels to "sink" into asphalt like my bike stand, but they need a strong grip when braking during landings which I doubt a much softer surface would offer. Not an expert though, just speculating.
One would think so, but the problem lies on the other side: https://www.dw.com/en/russian-gas-in-germany-a-complicated-5...

> objectively safe if you operate it properly

You are commenting this on a thread in which people are praising France's 60 year old reactors and suggesting Germany keeps their 40 year old reactors running, which were built to last 40 years. "Running them properly" is easier said than done, and frankly, the naive and misinformed opinions spewed constantly about the topic by proponents are a strong argument against nuclear energy. Not that it matters anyway, no one in a position of responsibility is going to build them, regardless of how much Isaac Asimov fans on the internet are crying foul about it.

This is turning into a parenting advice thread which is pretty far afield from the point. Yes there are potential workarounds at ballparks that let you bring in food. If you check in advance on exactly what's allowed, you can often pack what you need.

Question, since you probably know more than me: what would be NATO's way of defeating a single high value target that is under good air defense? First suppression/defeat of that air defense, then launch Tomahawks or whatever other missiles are available? That's something I'd imagine an Iskander is good at. (My example may not be very realistic).
No they wouldn't. There'd be a lot of Republicans who would be running around telling everyone how universal healthcare is actually a good thing now, but any Democratic concerns would mostly be tied to quibbles with process and taxation, not the healthcare itself.
Infinity does not have to be a "repeatable process that we can keep doing forever." That seems like a myopic view.

Anyways, their reasoning in the rest of the article only holds if you assume the universe is finitely bounded in time and space.
The US is at best an "illiberal democracy"[1]. But it's probably worse than that. Effectively, the US has no opposition party, the ruling party being superficially divided into two nominal parties which agree on 90% of policy and which use their control over the electoral machinery to exclude opposition parties.

Recently, major changes of governmental policy that affect millions of people have been made by an unelected body of officials who have lifetime terms. You may have even seen it in the news.

That's not really a helpful comparison. The safety considerations on a track are very different than on the road.

Safety devices on modern vehicles aren't independent variables -- they are designed to work together, and they're designed for particular risk cases.

Street cars have some design criteria that isn't the case for some of the safety systems on track cars: for example, the safety systems in a passenger vehicle are designed to work without a helmet or a HANS, which is often not the case with track cars.

If you are not wearing a helmet and a HANS, you are safer wrecking a car with an airbag and a 3 point belt than a cage and a harness, where you'll end up with a concussion and a basel fracture.

Also, crashes on a racetrack are overwhelmingly with barriers or with vehicles with similar vectors of motion. On the road, impacts at 90 or 180 degrees with vehicles of varying masses are much more common, and then, mass becomes a significant factor in the forces imparted upon occupants.
Yeah, this was a VERY controversial subject for a long time. Maybe even still today!

David Foster Wallace's Everything and More was an enjoyable history of the topic.

I think the rebuttal to the author's "write all the primes down, you can't" would be something like "tell me how many numbers there are between 0 and 1." I'd die before I'd finish writing out all the primes, but the author or that professor referenced in the article could just never even have a way to give me an answer to my request. (EDIT: If they say that's not "real-world" enough, how many possible pieces of wood of distinct length could they cut that would be between 0 and 1 meters long? Unless someone wanted to try to brute-force it based on like molecule size... maybe it's not truly infinite? But could you even measure that difference? Which brings you back to infinity from a precision aspect...)

HTTP does not require a particular media type's representation to indicate the allowed methods. What made you think this should be the case? All popular media types I know either contain a partial indication (e.g. forms in HTML), and otherwise a fallback to GET/HEAD as default is implied or specified.

If a client is unsure, there's always the OPTIONS method and the Allow header.
During the worst of the pandemic i think my family hit 10-12 different state parks here in Texas multiple times on weekend trips. We have an annual pass to all Texas state parks and with pay-at-the-pump the only human interaction we had was handing our pass to the gate attendant and getting it back. It kept us sane and we saw a lot of the state we had never seen before.
If there is a finite number of primes then there is a largest prime N>2. Construct N!+1. That is not divisible by 2..N, so it is prime.

Ergo, we say there are an infinite number of primes.

Infinite / infinity is one of them.

This also biases towards indie hacker projects that weren't too successful, since when revenue gets too high, there is less incentive to share it (too many inbound marketers, etc).

Has demand actually increased, or has it been bought out by people with more money than your average person?

I feel like this point is often missed. There's a fair amount of Disney superfans for example that have the wealth and ability to make frequent and often trips to Disneyland. If you have enough of those wealthy individuals, they can push out everyone else. In this scenario the price of the attraction(s) is almost irrelevant and incentivizes Disney to only cater to a very specific and wealthy crowd.

Real estate functions the same way as land is consolidated under wealthy individuals. These individuals then make a lot of their money by actively harming people's ability to rent or own property (though things like AirBnB) and then repeat the cycle.

The problem isn't fixed supply/demand, it's the consolidation of wealth and power in fewer individuals that then disproportinately affect the dynamics.

Sure, but to be fair infrastructure should be "free" to all citizens (like public schools) or some approximation of fair/usage based.

The cost of road related infrastructure (roads, highways, parking, tunnels, bridges, etc) and the land consumed by that infrastructure is considerable. I can see flat rate being something like the wear and tear you'd expect from a normal/popular vehicle, like say a honda accord or toyota camry. But if people buy something huge (that takes up more space) and is heavier they should pay more for it to support the increased cost of the wear and tear on the infrastructure. That can be substantial, I believe the wear and tear on a road scales with the 4th power of the weight.

Wishing countries could be better actors towards foreign geopolitical interests and foreign citizens is a nice thought and a world we should work towards.

In the meantime, countries still need to act to protect their citizens and their national interests against foreign adversaries-- especially prohibiting adversarial/dangerous behavior within their own economic zones and borders.

(i.e., China also has a rational interest in restricting operations of US firms gathering information on Chinese citizens-- we don't need to choose "good" or "bad" guys).
