Carbon API is so old that this pretty much isn't issue.

You have to google explicitely for "Carbon API" for it to show up.

Whether even now, "carbon programming" or "carbon code" give results for Carbon language - and some other non-c++ libs named Carbon.

Even "carbon" by itself gives me some Carbon language links.
> R <ugh>

You may not like R (and I do totally understand that), but it's probably ahead of Python in specialised statistical (i.e. non unstructured ML) tools and packages.

Python is definitely better if you want to interact with a GPU and/or do "modern ML" (i.e. neural nets).
Eh, depends on where you decide to go.

Switzerland & New Zealand-- yes, to all that stuff.

But Mexico? You purchase a 6 month visa (which is just a paper receipt and a passport stamp) at the airport, border crossing, or immigration office, for about $40. Stay longer? No problem, just pay a small fine ($30? I forgot the exact price) when you leave.

Learn a foreign language-- Spanish is among the easiest to learn. And there are bountiful opportunities in the US to learn, between classes & native speakers.

partner/dependents-- of course, this depends

friends/family-- yes, but you can visit them, they can visit you. And if you're willing to be outgoing, you can build new friendships they sometimes even become like family (or actual family)

One can see it positively-- as a growth experience. Or one can see it any way they choose.

The level of ease depends on many factors, including how much a person invests in consumer objects-- such as expensive furniture or vehicles. Personally, I've always bought used furniture at goodwill, and cheap used vehicles. And so I'm not super attached to most of my stuff. There is storage available for some things as well.
BMW is in the wrong here.

The doctrine of first sale says I own the car, and I own the heated seats in it.

And once its ours, they do not have the right to charge us for something our car has the capability to do without them. And its unethical for them to try to add microtransactions on something we already physically own. This is a form of fraud, IMHO.

BMW is losing the trust of buyers; they will not last long if they continue this.

You can get a residence permit in Uruguay just with your birth certificate and your passport. Then you need to prove that you have the means to sustain yourself and that's it, no more requirements for moving here. Also, no taxes on software exports ;)
Is that a fair comparison? You'd expect to less for seats without a heating element, rather than paying less to have them rip out something they already put in.
In case it is not apparent to others, Lisp-Stat (OP of this story) and singaporecode (parent commenter here) are different people.

The account singaporecode and a few other related accounts really look dubious. They are promoting a few websites created by the same author: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=ashok%20khanna&type=all

The comments by singaporecode where they say "I should sponsor the guide’s author" (when the author is himself/herself/themselves) and "I found online" (where they published it themselves) are clearly deceptive self-promotions of https://ashok-khanna.medium.com/ and https://github.com/ashok-khanna but do notice that they are unrelated to Lisp-Stat.
The trick is to go into a country, stay there for the max allowed duration.

Then you fly back to US or visit another country for a month and go back to your base country. You can do this with Visa-on-arrival at most countries with a US passport.
This reminds me how a lot of value is actually collectively created and corporations are just there to efficiently make use of government provided infrastructure. Some people got this idea that private individuals create all the value but if that were true everyone would be self employed. A debt brake basically means less gov bonds which means the same money is bidding up fewer bonds. The idea behind this is that private lending will pick up because of the lower interest rate, the irony of course is that due to the zero lower bound, there is no real point behind lower interest rates.
Also it’s multilingual and completely free to use.
>I'd be thrilled if I bought a used car without heated seats and was able to "add" heated seats and other upgrades on the spot

This is an odd interpretation.

You aren't buying a car without heated seats and "adding" them. They are already there.

>the alternative is that BMW physically has to remove the heater components or disable them permanently, so as a second hand buyer, I'd be permanently locked out of the upgrade

How on earth is that the alternative? That would cost them more money in labour. Once the car is sold, why does BMW have to do anything?
Yeah no kidding, when I had a tree planted in my front yard they had to use jackhammers to make the hole deep enough. I had no idea.

They used to but fake "buttons" on the dash for features you could have gotten but where too cheap too. As opposed to just a flat surface it was raised plastic. The folks at the dealership my dad worked at called them "guilt buttons".

If you aren't using the heated seats, you're lugging around extra weight, more electrical complexity. You can't sell your car as having them, as you have no idea if they work after how many years.

It might not be 'that hard' to excavate limestone, but an additional 21,000 dollars added to the cost along with 14x longer work time is not an insignificant difference.

East Austin doesn't have them because of the unstable clay that expands and contracts with rains, same reason the track surface at COTA has had so many issues. The ground doesn't stay put.

Couple those things with the frost line issue you mentioned, along with the likelihood of flooding, and it probably comes down to the fact that it's just too much work to be worth it.

Why weren't they vaccinated against that then?
That's a junk article based on a garbage paper making wild speculative claims that lockdowns prevented kids from exposure to cold viruses, somehow resulting in colds giving kids hepatitis.

If you read the full text of the paper here: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.07.19.22277425v... you'll see their sample size was insufficient and cherry picked. They only looked at nine (9) cases and fifty eight (58) control subjects. Furthermore, they don't specify their sampling criteria, but they do mention they did NOT include children that were vaccinated in the study. Why?

What we do know is that there is emerging evidence that both COVID and COVID vaccination dysregulate the immune system, allowing diseases (like shingles) that are normally suppressed by the immune system until later in life to suddenly appear in young people.

Scotland started their child vaccination program in January 2022, around three (3) months in advance of the "worldwide hepatitis outbreak": https://web.archive.org/web/20220124104228/https://www.nhsin...

They need to redo the research, but use a much larger RANDOM sampling of all children who came down with hepatitis, and look for correlations with both COVID infection and COVID vaccination against hepatitis infection.

My educated guess is that it had little to do with lockdowns, and much more to do with immune system dysregulation from both COVID and COVID vaccination.

I think the main disconnect here is the replcaing the argument point. You are supposed to take the best version of the argument presented, not replace it with the best possible argument. Of course anyone doing the latter is going to often be too far off course to move the conversation along.

To me steelmanning is more of a better version of restating the others point in order to verify you understand their point. The best steelmanning is often proceeded by that. (do I understand the other parties meaning, and what is the strongest version of that meaning.)

Most often though I just find that steelmanning is just ignoring fallacies in otherwise decent efforts at conversational debate. In order to not devolve into back and forth "thats a fallacy!".
Reminds me of a joke:

A doctor, an architect and a programmer talk about their professions. "Mine is the oldest", says the doctor, "as everybody knows God created Eve from the rib of Adam, and that's definitely a medical operation". "Right", says the architect, "but in fact architect is even older - it's definitely an architectural project to create the world from chaos". At this point programmer kicks back in the chair and gives friends a mysterious look. "Who, do you think, created the chaos?"

Public Transit in the USA, truly nationwide public transit, would cost more money than exists, or has ever existed. And that's if you solved the issue of people not wanting public transit!

As I type this I'm in the New Orleans city center, where the noise eight floors up is constant and overwhelming. Like, had to pause the movie last night multiple times because street noise was drowning out dialog. In my suburb back home, things are very, very, very quiet. It is much easier to imagine public transit where I am now than where I normally live, but that wouldn't help me in the suburbs.

In theory, I love urban density. In theory, I hate parking minimums and zoning restrictions. In practice, like most Americans, I'm choosing to live in the land of parking minimums, zoning restrictions, and little to no public transit.

Viable public transit in metro areas is economically a tough sell, but culturally it's even tougher.

I think self-driving vehicles are mostly fraud, and that you'll get your wish about stagnation, but that doesn't mean public transit will step up in the gap. I think it will just mean we continue to sacrifice 35k-45k people every year and keep our cars.

I'm old enough to remember when this sort of thing was "woo-woo", so it's good to see it getting a grounding in solid scientific investigation. "Let your food be your medicine." and all that, eh?

Historically our microbiome and the external environment must have been in a kind of dialog: available food would be a pretty direct function of the local ecosystem, and our feces, which are something like 80% microorganisms, would of course be integrated back into the soil. (It's not really that surprising, from this POV, that our bellies would have brains.)

Well, allow me to do a few simple math operations for you. (It’s the old math Ph. d student in me lol, I sometimes try to make a simple math argument)

Let’s compare

B = Buying
R = Renting
B > R ?

To do so, add and subtract R on the left:

B - R + R > R ?

This operation can be described in the real world as “Buying a house, renting it out to someone else, then renting a similar house anywhere you want”

Now we can subtract R from both sides and we get:

B - R > 0 ?

In other words, is buying a house and renting it out to a tenant better than doing nothing? It turns it into an investment question: is real estate the best investment of your money? It depends on the housing market, the rental market, and the individual situation of the rental, location, tenant, financing, closing costs, broker fees etc.

Well, in the real world, if your salary and credit allows you to borrow X, then you should look at what you can invest it in. If you had rented since 2012 and invested all that money into Bitcoin or a stock index, you’d be able to sell it and buy 1,000 houses. So yes, renting could be far better than buying.
On one hand, they're following industry into your-purchase-is-really-a-license-and-subscription-model-all-the-things. On the other hand, the public and legislators have been pretty clear about this never having been OK and cut it out right now (e.g. right to repair).

> The context is about using VS Code (or something else) with OmniSharp instead of VS and Rider

This is what you said, in it's entirety: "Maybe it's good to have an open ecosystem for using the language that doesn't rely on paying for an IDE? I personally soured on Kotlin for this same reason!"

And then you go ahead and praise a tool that implements LSP...

Do you realise that "open ecosystem" literally couldn't produce anything of note for any language until the megacorporation you love to hate came along and provided a solution? It wasn't "open ecosystem" that gave you the language server protocol. It was Microsoft that designed it and implemented it for their own VS Code. And the "open ecosystem" that sat on its ass for decades flocked to it and to the protocol like kids to the Pied Piper of Hameln.

And again with "you need paid IDE to develop this and that". No. You don't. There's LSP for C#. There's LSP for Kotlin. You'd know that if you went ahead and looked just slightly beyond your blind hate of commercial IDEs.

Wait does this mean I could setup my own seller account and send empty boxes of slow moving, high value ASINs to Amazon Warehouses and then order them from myself? Assuming that other sellers keep sufficient stock of real products, I should have a good chance of receiving one of those, right? And it would probably take quite a while until this scam is detected.
I'm a big fan of the "IO Sandwich". This is where you keep complex computation as pure functions as much as possible. And push the IO to the edges of the system. So you might have read-compute-write. This keeps the computation functions testable and composable.
In the first table the "eating disorders" entry makes references to "Kleinman et al. 2015" and to "Morita et al. 2015". Neither can be found in the bibiography. I couldn't find a paper by some Kleinman on the topic between 2014 and 2016 (https://scholar.google.com/scholar?start=0&q=author:kleinman...). Morita wrote this (https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal...).

Neither the linked article nor Morita's mention Serguei Fetissov's pioneering work on the topic though, which is disappointing, given that he and his colleagues have long documented the link between E. Coli, the immune system and eating disorders.

The gist is that E. Coli produces a protein (CLBP) that mimics a feeding-related hormone (IIRC melanocortin). That protein ends up in the blood stream and can bind the corresponding receptors. It can also generate an immune response, and these antibodies are cross-reactive, causing autoimmunity and complicating the story.

How Do Economists Determine Whether the Economy Is in a Recession?
That's half of it but I have been watching the energy situation for a long time, in fact I was a professional activist for about two years circa 2001 and it astonishes me how much the energy literature is like a stopped clock.

For instance circa 2001 people were still citing papers from the 1970s about pyrolysis systems for biofuels and quoting the exact same cost numbers despite 30 years of inflation and other changes. (To be fair, advocates for new nuclear reactor types are pulling 50-year old research out of mothballs now.)

Amory Lovins had a vision similar to the paper above in the 1980s which was very slow to arrive. I remember in the 1980s it was the nukes in Germany who were pushing heat pumps, Lovins was pushing combined heat-and-power fueled by natural gas. The immediate consequence of "the soft energy path" was that there was a lot of talk about solar and wind but a lot of gas turbines got installed.

Today PV and wind generation have arrived and certainly the economics of storage have improved but it's not clear they are going to get good enough.

What was annoying about Lovins though was that he always said that the soft energy path was going to be easy because it would save money and he was always facing this problem of: "Technology A that saves energy should pay back the investment in a short time, why don't people adopt technology A?"

In some cases technology A just sucked. People always hated those compact fluorescent bulbs, it's a very different story from the LED bulbs that took over the world quickly.

The book

https://www.basicbooks.com/titles/lester-c-thurow/the-zero-s...

tells a compelling story of capital investment in an obsolete technology (steelmaking with the open hearth furnace) leading to lobbying, corruption and protectionism to prevent the US from switching to the superior basic oxygen furnace and thus damaging it's own economic competitiveness (expensive and low quality steel is an ingredient for expensive and low quality cars)

One might make the case the fossil fuel industry is doing the same to preserve its capital investment but the scale is much larger and politics have certainly turned away from the kind of intervention that happened with steel.

> It's intense, and as mentioned towards the end of this analysis, the actual words of the anthem are brutal. They're not singing "God save the king", but rather "we will water our fields with the blood of our enemies."

La Marseillaise, if you boil it down to a single sentence, is basically "Fight on, Frenchmen... because we are utterly screwed if you don't."--almost all of the violence in the song is about the violence directed towards the French by the various coalitions arrayed against it at that time. (Also extremely notable for a national anthem of that period, it never specifically identifies an enemy--contrast that to the dueling German anthem in the film, which is a rather explicitly anti-French anthem.)
