My prior comments discussed zero acts of violence, and further, you are pontificating the second you reply to anything on hackernews.

People here have been discussing how to teach people about equality, how to resolve racism in the young. My comment was about ensuring that is targeted correctly, both in youth and older people, so it actually works.

You cannot fix something, if you target the wrong thing to fix. You cannot fix something, if you don't even understand the source of the issue.

But sure... yell at the guy trying to rationally frame this issue, so we can correctly fix it.

That makes sense.

I realize SBCL predates this folly, but I always regard things hosted on sourceforge with hesitancy after that sketchy ownership period.

What I think in-office advocates miss -- You can still do all of these things with _actual_ friends and family who will be around after you get shitcanned, laid off, whatever.

The unfortunate reality is that the discourse around the remote vs. ass-in-seat style of work must be all or nothing. Some workplaces take a hybrid approach, but they often don't have a mix of 100% in-person and 100% remote employees. You're usually in the office 80% of the time with the allowance of a day at home. So complaints like yours get heard by middle management types and they use them to justify the "welcome back to the office" bullshit. It is worlds easier to live my life when I don't have a two hour commute and when I have the ability to get mundane responsibilities fulfilled on my breaks, and when I don't have to rely on others to take care of my pets and family. When your need to pursue an ephemeral relationship with your coworkers becomes an imposition on my need to nurture the people I love, that's a serious problem and I'm not going to politely respect your "preferences".

Go play ping-pong with your friends.
Thanks for doing the legwork! I didn't find anything definite in twenty seconds of Googling, so I left my comment vague.
This is such a misguided argument. Amount of nuclear waste is so negligible compared to common waste, it doesn't deserve to even be argued about. Not only that, but today's nuclear waste in couple of decades could become a treasure for next generations. Discussion should be: we either develop new energy sources or we don't. Either works for me, but if you don't want to go on with progress, then shut up about climate change and stop calling yourself progressive
I believe Tor has a more active anti-censorship project than Signal does. While I don't think Signal is in any sense OK with governments blocking it, the Tor folks have something along the lines of a whole anti-censorship team (part paid and part volunteer). I don't believe Signal has a direct equivalent to that.

There could also be an element of luck or differences in how strongly particular governments are trying to block particular apps and circumvention methods at a given moment. I know that varies a lot from country to country.

Edit: However, Signal does have a "Censorship circumvention" feature under "Advanced" options. So there is some level of official work on that from Signal. Have your friends tried this feature?

Yes, I know that I was referring to a detail of CPython when I said 'Python' in general. Alas, in practice Python really is CPython, more or less.

The biggest problem is that reference counting is baked into how CPython's C-modules work.
There's something I've been curious about for a long time.

If your country's currency is in a state of hyperinflation and you want to buy crypto to shield yourself from it, who's your counterparty? Who is willing to sell you that crypto and expose themselves to that inflation, and how are they able to do so profitably?
> Politicians of all stripes encourage such anxiety

Encourage? More like enable. That is, those (i.e., politicians) that benefit and leverage the problem have little incentive to solve the problem (i.e., poverty, mental health, etc.)

> But in fact, our era is the safest and least violent in human history. We are less likely to killed, assaulted, or otherwise physically harmed today than ever before.

Yes. But that's on average. There are areas where danger is real. Perhaps not relative to history, but relative to where Karen lives the marginalized are highly disadvantaged.

When your firmware is crashing all the time, sometimes cranking up the cpu voltage can make it work. Even though you have no idea about how or why it works.
This could be an interesting lesson for a lot of Nostradamus-shorts out there: Never predict against a regression to the mean without clarifying your timelines & time scope.

Some previous pain points which I've noticed & suspect are priced in already, and thus no longer relevant to near-term S&P levels:

Russian sanctions totally worked. People who know what they are talking about are coming out and loudly explaining how & why they worked. They explain this in terms that make it clear that well-considered sanctions are effective, and will be effective in the near-to-mid-to-maybe-long-term (this is huge) and this will work in favor of peace.

Housing market concerns: Already existed, have existed since post '08-2009 in trace amounts anyway, and will continue to exist. Homeowners are emotional people, I know because I am one myself. Investors are also emotional and a lot of them are homeowners. Voila, tons of downside worry from people pacing around houses with mortgages and tax bills. But really an issue for higher timelines than the current one that non-shorts are enjoying.

Crypto skepticism--already priced in because it's been just as incessant as the love for crypto. Again and again it turns out you can make money in a given market by taking positions other than those espoused by Warren Buffett, so the skepticism started to look suspiciously subjective and grumpy after a while, and then this regression kicks in and...what was even the point? We know that markets are cyclical. Who's going to lay on the beach and complain about the lack of a sustainable perma-wave, and who's going to set up for the next wave.

Other bad economic news: So much of it is up for debate, and people are arguing about it, hedging and clarifying. This is its own message. The market doesn't wait for this stuff, it simply keeps operating in the meantime. For lack of defined downside energy things will tend to cycle and float up.

And: A significant local support level for volatility was just shattered on the downside. A lot of people looking to short the S&P will either end up on the sidelines in a cash position or studying day trading for the time being...

Depends is that thing a lie or the truth?

The Pentagon Papers were designed to cause destruction and chaos. They were the truth. Should we have banned them because they let people see what their government was actually doing? Would it have mattered if Pravda posted them instead of the NYT?
I've said for years that Fred Rogers actually put into practice the values that Christians claim to espouse. Just about all of them. In kind of an innocent way, too, like Jesus was kind to the most hated people in his society, we are told it is a good thing to do, so why shouldn't I do it as well?
Unfortunately, the cellmapper.net site doesn't seem to work well on mobile devices. And when I try to use it on desktop, it doesn't work much better.

And there don't seem to be any good cell mapper type apps on iOS. The only ones I've found are either specific to a particular tower owner, or they miss a lot of towers that I know are there, or they just don't work well. I've tried at least a half dozen, if not more.

Are there any better solutions in this space?

This is kind of like saying "My grandmother smoked cigarettes all her life and lived until 83, so they must be safe." We have a lot of data showing the corporal punishment has negative effects on children, on average across the population.

It's hard to say exactly what causes that. However, the idea that it teaches children to defend themselves doesn't make sense to me because children who are spanked are not defending themselves.

It is not uncommon in my experience for victims to keep on getting victimized by the very prosecution and judicial process that is supposed to be working for them. As an example, during a home invasion the perpetrator came into our home wielding a knife looking to kill a family member (or more). Fortunately the perpetrator was overcome after much physical altercation by multiple family members. In his prosecution the perpetrator was not charged with attempted murder even though that's what he was doing (and yelling). The prosecutor charged him with burglary on the basis that it had the same maximum (25 year) sentence as attempted murder but a much lower burden of proof. So he was more likely to get a prosecution (and career advancement). We did not care if the prosecution was successful. We wanted him charged for what he did, whether it failed in the courts or not. We came away from the experience more feeling like victims from the entire judicial process than from the attempted murder (which we actually did something to thwart).

The same type of story gets told over and over again by victims. Punishment is doing nothing for the victims who I know.
Honestly I read this less as the writing of a perfumer and more the writing of a master. This is just how people who know their subject intimately (and have some writing skill) communicate.

It is somewhat rare, as often the people who are truly good at what they do would rather do it than write about it.

You'd be right if you thought that just using for an append-only log doesn't seem like a big difference. But the key thing to note is that they said it could replace CLS, the current settlement system which makes sure the net direction of monies is paid out. So I believe this to mean that instead of using CLS to settle up with currency transfers like USD or EUR, the banks agreed for certain subset of trades they are willing to agree on how to value Bitcoin, or some other crypto, versus the currencies they trade, and then settle the trades by periodic, usually daily, Bitcoin transfers.

If Bitcoin's value isn't stable, then it would be risky for these banks to hold a lot of it in order to settle trades. Perhaps this is what would sink this usage of the blockchain, but probably only a quant would be able to answer that.

I did find it somewhat amusing that the article claims a benefit of real-time visibility of settlement status. I believe some settlement systems still work by sending csv files over ftp (+ssh / sftp).

Money is fungible.

Each dollar spent on a nuke is exactly that dollar not spent on renewables, instead. But it takes with it another dollar spent on coal while waiting for construction to complete.

The amount spent just on coal and coal plant operation during those ten long years is enough, by itself, to build enough renewables to displace the nuke. The cost of building the nuke itself is enough to build several times enough to displace the nuke, beyond.

And the renewables would come on immediately, displacing carbon immediately.

Without radically increasing build-out of renewables, we will fail to avert climate catastrophe. The exact mode of civilization collapse in that case is debatable, but global thermonuclear war punctuates many.

Certainly, but Apple code also run on x86.

My main point actually is that Apple don't pick this route for the fun of it. It HAS a need to be performant on mobiles devices (that have less luxury to get a GC that eat Ram) and that need represent A LOT OF MONEY. You can say any step about this, including making processors, are directly or indirectly related to the need.

P.D: I don't see Rc VS Gc as enemies, but as faces of the same coin. ARC is just a way to apply some Gc lessons to naive Rc. I think naive Rc is truly worse than Gc, but smart Rc is total fine and consider it the best of both in the general case...

Wheel invented for pottery spinning. Pottery spinning machine very similar to human spinning. Probably inspired by human spinning

Human now has spinning machine. Human sees that when they spin down hill, they move easier. Human tips over pottery wheel.

Why is the above such a hard thing to believe? It’s supported by the archaeological record! You may not like that narrative but what’s the one you have?

And to be critical of the point youre making: there’s only so much chemistry and physics out there and ultimately we are made of biology, so what are you even saying? That we love making symmetrical objects but that has nothing to do with biological symmetry? That we forge metal because we are attracted to shiny things but that has nothing. To do with our obsession with looking at eyeballs? Maybe open your mind a bit?

Oh, dynamic programming as a concept makes perfect sense and it's very useful and well-defined.

However the origin of the name is bonkers. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_programming#History

> I spent the Fall quarter (of 1950) at RAND. My first task was to find a name for multistage decision processes. An interesting question is, "Where did the name, dynamic programming, come from?" The 1950s were not good years for mathematical research. We had a very interesting gentleman in Washington named Wilson. He was Secretary of Defense, and he actually had a pathological fear and hatred of the word "research". I’m not using the term lightly; I’m using it precisely. His face would suffuse, he would turn red, and he would get violent if people used the term research in his presence. You can imagine how he felt, then, about the term mathematical. The RAND Corporation was employed by the Air Force, and the Air Force had Wilson as its boss, essentially. Hence, I felt I had to do something to shield Wilson and the Air Force from the fact that I was really doing mathematics inside the RAND Corporation. What title, what name, could I choose? In the first place I was interested in planning, in decision making, in thinking. But planning, is not a good word for various reasons. I decided therefore to use the word "programming". I wanted to get across the idea that this was dynamic, this was multistage, this was time-varying. I thought, let's kill two birds with one stone. Let's take a word that has an absolutely precise meaning, namely dynamic, in the classical physical sense. It also has a very interesting property as an adjective, and that is it's impossible to use the word dynamic in a pejorative sense. Try thinking of some combination that will possibly give it a pejorative meaning. It's impossible. Thus, I thought dynamic programming was a good name. It was something not even a Congressman could object to. So I used it as an umbrella for my activities.
> Let me be clear: eating something that tastes like meat is not "outside" of my moral code. Causing animals to suffer is.

No offense, but I don’t recall accusing you specifically of anything. I was speaking conceptually and expressing my opinion. Eat how you want and what you want for whatever reason you want. You may be completely perplexed by my choice of diet as I am by a vegan who eats fake meat. For what it’s worth, I eat strict keto, nearly 90% carnivore, and I have zero qualms about killing and eating animals and don’t care if people find that offensive, perplexing, bad for the environment, or whatever. I may find the vegan diet an odd choice, but I’d never work against it.
