"open-source efforts are repeatedly being spent on trying to build the next web framework/library/toolkit (Rails) for Clojure and not much else", really?

That's contrary to what most of us know. There are some efforts in the Web front, but not much. At least, the community is not paying much attention to these efforts.

Let's look at the list of community funded projects, e.g. those in Clojure Together: the only Web related projects funded were clj-http in 2018, ring, re-frame and reagent in 2020. None of these are Web frameworks, and the rest of the funded projects are not Web related at all.
I’m mildly annoyed that this is called the wim hof method and not pranayama (specifically bahi kumbhaka) when he practiced yoga for years before he came up with this. The whole process is lifted — the hyperventilation followed by the holding your breath on the exhale.
Intuitionistic and linear logics are good examples of "weird" logics that have had some relevance to computing.

Intuitionistic: Curry-Howard, Dependent Type Theory, formal methods.

Linear logic: Rust.
I believe you are wrong about the causes of the Chernobyl disaster. The consensus these days is that it was due to poor reactor design.
The linked paper (at https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4365/ac7c64) is also worth a skim... I mean, who doesn't love a research paper that includes a section called "3.1 Correction for Galactic and Host-galaxy Extinction"
This might have been a daily driver if whatever UI library being used wasn't so quirky and unfriendly. Oh well. Looks "leet" or whatever, which is obviously more important.
Environmentally a great deal of CO2 comes from to extracting crude oil, transport, refine, and distribute gasoline. Roughly 1kg of CO2 per gallon of gas is released just in the refining process while 8.9kg comes from actually burning the fuel.

Next out of global electricity production 16% is hydro, 10.3% nuclear, 5.3% is wind, and solar is 2.5%. And wind and solar numbers are rapidly trending upwards. The 23% from Natural gas is also vastly cleaner both from extremely efficient turbines and because of inherent advantages to the fuel.

It’s only the 36.7% that from coal where the numbers come close while still slightly favoring EV’s per mile.
> governments have historically put to much faith in it

If we (US) hadn't stopped building nuclear in the 80s and had instead merely key up the pace, our grid wouldn't be 20% nuclear like it is today, it would be 100% nuclear.

Instead, we made the choice to pump 20 gigatons of carbon into the atmosphere while we waited for solar and wind to become viable. I'm glad they finally are -- they just broke into double digits, in a few years they will pass the nuclear buildout we stopped in the 80s -- but that was one helluva waiting cost.
May I ask what are those routers?
Fair point. She didn't use those words. But everyone understood her to mean that.

Which is why https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2016/aug/28/reince-pri... calls this claim mostly true.
So....your feeling negates his feeling?
What's funny is that this feels somehow related to when she later referred to the "basket of deplorables". Like in some way she tried to carve out room for common ground in a group of people she disagreed with, by slicing them into two groups, one of which could be disregarded in her view. And in both cases it backfired.
My small press pot actually makes around 12 us fluid ounces of coffee at the strength I like, with a fairly thick filter bed. Almost identical shape and dimensions as an aeropress, so it works interchangeably in that regard.

I agree, would be great to get a glass aeropress cylinder - though what makes me most hesitant to use one is actually the plunger/seal. I had one that I bought about 10 years back that sat for a couple months without use and it got very tacky and sticky, and it was very difficult to clean off. I'm not sure what that material was, but the fact that it isn't there when I used it regularly told me that whatever it was, it was going into my cup. Now when I use (my new aeropress), I wash the plunger first and I don't brew inverted - ensuring that my beverage doesn't come in direct contact with the rubber part.
What were the arguments in favor of this in the first place? Reading the article, it seems like an absolute travesty -- and it may well be -- but still, I like to understand why the fence was installed before advocating its removal. What problem was this legislation trying to solve? Can anyone provide context?
I think the lack of a Rails or other flagship framework has arguably hurt Rust if you compare it's trajectory to that of Go. Go had Docker and Kubernetes as early flag bearers to indicate it's a "real language", while Rust has only really had the critical mass to start getting treated as one in the last two years.

This mis-states the relationship between your immune system and novel viruses, especially ones that cross species boundaries. Viruses adapt to avoid the adjustments the immune system makes, and zoonotic transmission means that your immune system is "seeing" all kinds of novel adaptations for the first time.
I think the alias analysis “pro” is overblown, it’s UB to take the address of a parameter via any mechanism other than explicitly taking the address - which a compiler obviously sees, and because it’s UB the compiler optimizes is free to assume no one is taking the address. Then for any parameters that are passed by reference the compiler has to assume there are other references so there’s no gain.

Honestly the only thing that really stood out as nice is the default pass by word-sized value, in the context of templates - it’s a thing that is achievable in C++, but requires a bunch of obnoxious additional templates that aren’t even part of the standard library so everyone ends up reimplementing the same cruft. Happily I believe there’s a proposal to add this exact functionality.

I also loathe their desire to listen to the BNF maximalists insistence on not having any “ambiguity” from <>s. I’m sorry it’s clearly parseable, and <>s are the standard token for decades. Switching to []s doesn’t make it less conceptually ambiguous, if anything it makes it more ambiguous to a human reader. The only people who don’t want <>s are PLT academics obsessed with forcing their dragon book idea of what a grammar should be. You can’t argue you’re doing it because the ambiguity in a grammar or lexer is bad, because then you would also drop infix operators.

Then in carbon the more reasonable adoption of pascal’s : notation for typing a variable or parameter removes the most common case of the supposedly terrible ambiguity anyway.

This is depressing. I've always thought plea bargains should be disallowed for all these totally obvious reasons, but I can't believe they actually used to be before being allowed in. Hopefully plea bargains will someday once again be illegal.
You can do so by defining a custom keyboard layout. This is quite convenient with Ukelele https://software.sil.org/ukelele/ : you can take any existing layout (e.g. the one that is currently active) and then change all key mappings, including which keys are dead keys etc. I used this to create a modified EN-US keymap where Alt-A/O/U produces the corresponding umlaut versions directly, and Alt-S produces German ß (so that when I have to write German text I can do so quickly and conveniently)
Bay Area Sheriff Orders Raid on Indiana Batmobile Garage, as Favor for Friend
Again cows don't emit completely new gas into the atmosphere; all gas they emit originally came from the atmosphere. So their emissions are not in anyway a problem, as it's really just recycled atmosphere.

You'd might argue that they change the composition (eg changing it to methane gas), but methane also breaks down in the stratosphere. Sure it takes like 100+ years to happen, but it's temporary. You can set a population of cows, and keep it steady, and the amount of methane and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere attributed to the cows won't change after some period of time. Now, growing the population of cows will grow this temporary store of gas, but cows bodies also are carbon sinks themselves which offsets it somewhat. And likewise, as you cite, reducing the population of cows and livestock would decrease their temporary contribution of gas. But this temporary store of methane isn't the root of our problems.

The real problem, is taking carbon from underground, and burning it. For nature to naturally reverse this process, takes millions of years. The only real solution is to stop burning fossil fuels, and/or to reverse the natural process faster somehow (like by repeatedly burying trees and growing new ones).
Plus, a lot of phones give out diagnosic info (current going in, battery voltage, current going out, etc.)

Phones also have induction chargers on their back plates (Qi, usually to charge heaphones and stuff), that have to be enabled in software to charge.
Do you have a source on the France vs Germany thing?

France uses 20x less coal than Germany to begin with (https://www.worldometers.info/coal/coal-consumption-by-count...) so I'm not sure about the comparison of reducing consumption

Also, during the recent conflict with Russia, Germany is turning coal plants back online and France is not.
We cite costs in money because it’s useful. But you can’t eat money and you can’t build from it. You need actual stuff and land to do so. That is limited in a way that the money supply isn’t.

Case in point, the currently ongoing global supply shortage.
You're shifting goalposts because you don't have any rebuttal to my point.

In the many years that Cuba was friendly and cooperative with the USSR, the US never made any more than a joke attempt at a military intervention. The US was obviously not thrilled, but never did anything comparable to the current invasion of Ukraine. Not sure your point.
Would Elon Musk have been as successful without a hair transplant?
Your observation is simply not true. To the contrary, the consensus of the community seems to be that there's no need for a rails-like framework for Clojure. Most of Clojurians are satisfied with what we have in the Web front, and are not worrying about the lack of "big Web framework" at all. I don't know where you got your impression from.
Pennsylvania has a state monopoly on retail liquor sales. Liquor is at least as bad as most illegal drugs.

That is probably better than the approach of some states which make obtaining licenses to sell alcohol or marijuana expensive. In most cases they are capriciously controlled by politicians and bureaucrats, involving prohibitive fees and outright bribery. At least PA's approach is more equal in effect.

Its new to me. I am livid - Would you have any recommendations in how one mey research "what they did wrong" <-- When I called them after I got access to the account I was connected with an absolute piece of shit ghetto person who was talking to me as though she was trying to recover a debt.

I am beside myself.

How can I even begin to understanding if they were just idiots (legally) or if they were staking that original $40K and what specifically did they invest/not-invest in?

May I request a provenance of every transaction made on the account?

> The staff member just reset the alarm, sighed, and continued helping me. No attempt to do anything else.

It has been my understanding that for like at _least_ fifteen, twenty years major retailers have had a "Do not attempt to physically stop shoplifters." policy. The opinions I heard were split on whether it was to protect against an injury suit file by the thief if he were injured during the detention, or having to pay a _ton_ if an employee got seriously injured during the detention. (Source: talking to friends who worked on the floor for major retailers at the start of the century.)

TBH, it smells like both to me.

Anyway, all this is to say that retailers haven't been _physically_ restraining thieves walking out of their stores for quite some time... but that doesn't _necessarily_ mean that they've stopped reporting the thefts. (Indeed, the SF Mayor's Office's crowing about retrieving items from Retail Theft Rings suggests that -at minimum- a subset of the affected retailers _do_ report thefts.)

many cars have a Navigation system, which means the car itself knows where you are. Is it being communicated in real time, or does the car at least remember?

GPS itself is entirely passive. The last position is definitely stored in the receiver to make it faster to acquire a position fix the next time it's turned on, but the question is whether that is sent outside the car. A standalone GPS unit of the type that people add as an aftermarket accessory, instead of being integrated, will almost certainly not be transmitting its location elsewhere.
> they are currently replacing coal power at a greater rate then France, despite Germany actively shutting down nuclear plants that still had years of life left.

That sounds a less impressive when you rephrase it as saying they went from 15x more coal use than france to 9x as much. Percentage wise the decrease seems similar in the last few years.

> You argue against cherry-picking, and then you think you can prove something with one single example?

Yes, that's the whole point of a counter-example...

If I try to prove the all odd numbers are prime (look, 1, 3, 5, 7, ... – it works!), you telling me that 9 is not is enough to disprove my theory.
> Imagine a world where economies of scale bring nuclear power down to the cost of fuel and maintenance.

Economies of scale were applied from the inception of commercial nuclear power, yet the promise of electricity too cheap to meter has never materialized. Quite the opposite. In fact, nuclear has always been the most expensive method of generating electricity, and the anti-nukes don't enter into it. Even if every individual on the planet was pro-nuke, it would still be too expensive. If it was otherwise, nothing whatsoever could prevent investors from coming out of the woodwork to fulfill your dream of nuclear power plants everywhere. Make nuclear energy economical and you can have all the nuclear power plants you want, as well as being absurdly wealthy. But when you fail, try to avoid blaming anything other than nuclear energy itself.
I'm trying to imagine myself being impartial on a jury when one side is the KKK and the other is Mr Rogers.
Okay, then it sounds like we've been using a different definition of "async" all along then.
What really killed the CGNs (nuclear powered destroyers) was VLS (vertical launch system) and AEGIS - the sensor suite that newer Navy destroyers and cruisers are built around. CGNs were all built around magazine fed rail-style missile launchers, and sensors were all designed when state of the art was a transistor. Refitting ships to modern sensors like AEGIS and modern VLS was almost a complete rebuild. Even early Ticonderoga class conventionally powered cruisers (CGs) that had rail launchers were retired early because of the cost of refit to VLS.

Incidentally, VLS allows for much faster deployment of missiles, and doesn't require deck space for different launchers for different missiles, and a ship with a modern VLS have a huge rate-of-fire advantage on older rail launcher equipped ships.

i mean understanding the endocrine system is hard. theres a lot of reasons why diff ppl got diff levels of hormones. so everybody's like "genetics" but really it can also be lifestyle factors (diet sleep exercise alcohol whatever) with also genetics.

A lot of adults punish children, because it makes them feel good. They do it again and again despite kids behavior not getting better.

Relevance? Why do you feel a need to pull out such arguments when we have a complete war criminal over in the kremlin?
Also you could argue a lot of the problem with wokeness is putting on the focus on less important things (empty displays of virtue about things that happened a century ago etc) whilst more important things get overlooked.

For example, big tech is very happy to posture endlessly over fashionable issues that cost nothing (put up a few posters, have a hashtag) but not so much on something like wage inequality (where they import people from OS and pay x times the national average).
If you've written your own multi-versioning, what does FDB bring to the table that you couldn't have gotten out of other distributed but non-transactional KV stores? E.g. Cassandra, etc. Isn't there an overhead to the MVCC aspect of FDB? And it sounds like you've had to jump hoops around things to get past its duration and size limits, as well...
I'm a diesel mechanic by trade. for anyone curious to disable your cars data collection the OnStar systems easiest.

under your passenger dash is a black metal box, usually documented. unplugging the harness and removing it, you can open it to expose a baseboard and a riser. the baseboard is for things like infotainment usually but the riser is your cellular modem. pull it and you'll get a warning light on the dash, but no more data collection. older cars will have a Sim in the riser you can pull if thats less invasive to you.

note: OnStar is also disabled and will not dial 911/999 on collision.
Also, the UI was called Aqua. So Aqua + Carbon is an interesting metaphor for an OS ecosystem.
I am having trouble understanding exactly what you are complaining about. I think you're saying that you expected the money to be more? I did a quick calculation based on my investments and $70K is about what I expected. Are you using a very high rate of return? Accounts like this are typically managed conservatively to make the likelihood of large losses small.
How much of a practical difference is there between "I have to wait 40 years before I can get this thing" and "I can't afford this thing"? Is forcing artificially low prices for these actually helping anything?
> For a large number of categories today the most extensive research to identify a decent product has become necessary.

What exactly are you saying here? Is this a "telemetry is necessary for effective product design" argument?

Apologies if I'm misunderstanding, but if so: I personally don't buy that it is except in very specific circumstances. Gathering data through telemetry to make product decisions, when it's not just about data sales for extra revenue, doesn't always make a lot of sense, particularly when that data gathering capability directly compromises the product quality. I would argue that often it's done because of people trying to cargo cult competence at product design by doing what seems cutting edge, analogous to "architecture astronauts" designing overcomplicated & inelegant software systems with too many bells and whistles.
"very stable" and python in the same sentence? I am not sure about that.
so then why do we have this conversation at all? Russia has done nothing wrong, it's just protecting its own dumb proles from false and misleading information meant to undermine their country and what it stands for.

> France for example never had a Three mile island type of disaster which tilted the public opinion of nuclear power

Despite that, the public opinion soured so bad, that it is the detractors that had to bring disaster to nuclear reactors. Protestors fired rocket-propelled grenades at a plant[0]. It did not cause any nuclear danger.

On the other hand, the costs grew because the standards for risk grew to tremendous levels that are way, way above those applied for the coal and gas industries, or wind and solar for that matter.

In such examples you’re always primed to look for a mistake. It’s a different situation when you have 100K+ lines of code, a dozen developers, and a deadline.

It’s a difference between “look this is Wally” (duh, of course) and a game of “Where’s Wally?”.

Whenever a CVE is discussed people say that the error is obvious, and no good programmer would write like that. It’s easy in hindsight.

Citation needed. And if they were being at all quantitative about this, at least I would have some sympathy.

The giveaway is that they are being completely dishonest about what they are doing. Harvard fought like hell to prevent their admissions process from coming out in discovery. If they were honest, they would make it public anyway. What do they have to hide? Well, just that they weren't running any remotely reasonable process to model how good of a student someone is under normalized conditions. They were artificially lowering the "personality scores" of Asian students to keep them out.

I'm not even completing the thought. This is a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad idea.
RT is a propaganda department of Russian government. Most countries do regulate behavior of the agents of foreign governments on their territory.

It is up to a specific government whether they allow another government to come in and for example spread propaganda or mine coal or build railways. Usually there is some reciprocity expected. Russia blocked not only West government propaganda agencies, it is also blocked independent media. So, the West governments are more than expected to block Russian government propaganda operations, especially given that non government information flow from Russia isn't blocked (that would be the censorship similar to that Russia has been doing, and West hasn't done it yet).
