It Kotlin it makes a lot more sense to use Java libraries, because for most purposes, the interfaces you'd write in Kotlin and the ones in Java are not all that different, other than coroutines. From Scala or Clojure, the differences in interface design are far larger. You are going from languages where mutable state is an optimization you want to hide, to libraries full of setters that return void. A land of monads, and maybe macros vs imperative programming. This makes the ergonomics of many mature java libraries just too much of a bother to use directly. There are cases where the effort to rewrite is bonkers (say, ApachePOI), and others where wrapping is sensible (see a variety of json serialization libraries which support different parsing backends, some of which will be straight java), but there are many libraries that are sensible from Kotlin, but are worse than a rewrite if you are using an FP language.

Still, I think you are undervaluing the JVM itself, which is almost magical when it comes to production observability. It'd be a whole lot of work to come anywhere near that tooling support for ops if you were avoiding the JVM. Scala, for instance, can also transpile into Javascript if you feel like it, and there's a native project that compiles to LLVM, but the JVM has the vast majority of the use cases, and it's not due to the libraries.
And the big thing is after maybe 3 or 4 years its already going to be outdated.
While you replace your phone if its outdated, you don't do the same thing with cars.

A car + phone combination is always more capable, because its almost always up-to-date and the user is already used to it.
I wish there were a way to both upvote and downvote your post:

The environmental lobby does not exist, but pressure from NatGas producers to "orient" the Greens towards fear of NP did & does.

However the idea that climate change is political capital for them is ludicrous: clearly their activism totally failed...
Status things that are comfortably within the reach of everyone often cease to be status things.
Public bridges often get blocked (the CCP does this too). Tor then spreads them privately through social media with people they trust in the country. Those are harder to find, but that’s also why they’re harder to block.
Any examples of such blocked Russian sites? I'm outside Europe and would like to test it.
> We are omnivores, we can subsist on many things, meat being one of them.

True, but I personally find it interesting that we have the smallest cecum and shortest digestive tract of the apes. Both of these are more indicative of a carnivorous diet than a herbivorous one.
Skimming this, I was interested whether Popper tried to do any work in the logic of Quantum Theory, and yes he did: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popper%27s_experiment

While I also advocate a more realist/Bohm-like theory above standard statistical "interpretations", I would differ with Popper in that I find the principle of non-locality to be just fine indeed. My own "theory of everything" operates under the assumption that the fundamental objects of reality are universally defined (ie, over the entire mathematical domain that cosmologists call "the universe"). The big question then becomes how such spread out objects can appear to us a tiny things like hydrogen atoms and electrons. I think the geometric paradigm of Conformal Field Theory is the way to think about that question. Things start entering into the domain of String Theory at that point.
Road rage and horribly antisocial driving behaviour exists. I don't think it usually includes murderous intent, but intentionally dangerous behaviour is quite common.
This is the big difference between most of the large deployed reactors and the modern designs.

Which leads me to an idea: a power plant divided into four parts, where each part starts construction on 1/3 the eventual power using the newest designs every decade. They run for 30 years. Then deconstruct and rebuild the last one with the newest design.

This would incentivize a continuous market for new designs over the next century.
Additionally, the only way to lower emissions from animals is to genocide them. It's not just that they are likely to die if left to their own devices, leaving them to roam freely in nature results in them emitting the exact same amount of carbon as when they were farmed for meat (which is net zero, but that's besides the point).
Are there any references covering how much CO2 is generated by a realistic vegan/vegetarian diet?

It would be easy to identify a theoretically low CO2 diet of rice and beans which does not require refrigeration, can be dehydrated for transport, grown easily and dense in calories. However this is not the diet that I generally see vegetarians/vegans eating - or the diet I go for when I eat vegetarian.

I’m suspicious that we look at extremely high quality vegetarian foods when we want to claim health benefits, and then low quality foods when we want to claim environmental efficiency.

I'm very familiar with environments where people drive however the fuck they want. A cyclist wouldn't last long there. Maybe it's not murderous intent, but it's at least reckless disregard for life.
>Arris DOCSIS modems probably still have a lot of Motorola DNA in them since Arris's 2012 acquisition of Motorola Home.

I would assume so, but cable modems are such an obvious major target that I'd be very surprised if they didn't check as well so the absence is notable. There may be some divergence due to them not being AIO devices, or requirements from the cable companies over the last decade. Or of course it could be that's still not public disclosure, but that'd be a bit surprising too since I'd expect any attackers to immediately go check every single other Arris product right away on seeing this.

At any rate though while it's something I'll now be keeping an eye on I'm still satisfied that the modems are fairly well walled off too. It's a wild world out there, and incidents like this are nice to point to when management asks if it's worth the bit of extra trouble to have even some minimal separation. Just the performance benefits of having WAPs ideally positioned for wireless vs dictated by where the WAN link comes in is of course helpful as well, there are some real performance and coverage deliverables that everyone can feel in day to day usage that comes from separating out functionality as well. But efforts to go after network infrastructure itself are certainly ongoing too, it's a good compromise target both directly and in terms of pivoting to everything else. From a public good standpoint, router botnets are also a real hassle to the rest of the planet since they're used for a range of other bad activities.
The key distinction here is that the (low!) long-term risk of nuclear power is well quantified, while COVID represents an unknown long-term risk.
If size is a worry for you, then you might enjoy Poets' Corner[1] which has been going since 1994. The design of the site might not be 2020s chic, but at the end of the day it's the words in the poems that count (though many poets would argue that the white space between the words is just as important).

Most of the ISPs that block russian sites (RT, etc.) do it on DNS level, so just changing the DNS allows you to open those sites.

And yes, this is a dark part of EU history... someone like putin blocking websites... sure, he's more or less a dictator, and we expect dictators to do stuff like that. But EU, a "pillar of democracy" blocking sites, because they don't like what they say, and because they show a different side to western propaganda... that's a bad precedent to set. But yeah, unironically writing articles like "evacuation of azovstal" [0] with a headline photo like that, takes some guts and needs some censorship to pass

Oh, ok. I don't think PV fare any worse than CSP on that. In fact, CSP needs so many independent engineering domains that it's probably among the worst things you can choose on that metric.
Probably because it's not yet known which entity is responsible despite what has been posted on social media.
These days arithmetic coding has been surpassed by asymmetric numerical systems (ANS) except that those are slower still.

Parallelizing ANS would be huge.

Notable uses of ANS: zstandard, JPEG XL. Apple and Dropbox also use it.
But the consequences don't actually deter them, as evidenced by the countless cars that run red lights.

Those who believe they are skilled enough to avoid hurting others also believe they won't get caught by the police running a red light.

The question is, which is the worse consequence, getting a ticket for running a red light, or killing another person in a crash? I would say the latter, in the minds and hearts of most people.
A big example of this is phones.
And TVs.
These articles always go for the ‘world ending scenario’ and use false information like “limited resources” to perpetuate that.

But if you take a step back and instead focus on how fragile the economy is, you instead can reach the same conclusions without the lie in the sky.

Imagine if some nefarious nation/ group / person decides they are going to blow up all the chip fabs? Pretty hard considering there are a few hundred of them, but even a select few could send the world into a huge recession for a few years.

Imagine if someone destroyed a group of grid transformers? It would take at least 6 months to get that regions power back on.

What if some American president utilized the military to its true power? This would destroy most of the world’s manufacturing capabilities.

These scenarios are much more likely than ‘financial collapse’ but will definitely lead to it.
> There is not one shed of science that can suggest with any amount of confidence that eliminating livestock will make a difference with global warming meaningful enough to justify not being able to eat the food that we developed to subsist on.

As long as that gas continues to go into the atmosphere, it's going to keep causing problems for climate change. It accounts for 14.5% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions[1] and a phase out presents a massive opportunity to sequester carbon.

> We show that, even in the absence of any other emission reductions, persistent drops in atmospheric methane and nitrous oxide levels, and slower carbon dioxide accumulation, following a phaseout of livestock production would, through the end of the century, have the same cumulative effect on the warming potential of the atmosphere as a 25 gigaton per year reduction in anthropogenic CO2 emissions, providing half of the net emission reductions necessary to limit warming to 2°C. The magnitude and rapidity of these potential effects should place the reduction or elimination of animal agriculture at the forefront of strategies for averting disastrous climate change.

It's been more than a decade since I've used Clojure so I say this with a big grain of salt.

Where there weren't good wrappers, just a few functions "wrapping" Java libraries for my project's needs always felt lightweight and lispy. The little internal APIs I made almost always passed around the library's raw Java objects, but with more Clojure idiomatic ways to construct them, or slapping some seq on the library outputs.
Most (all?) of the major hosting platforms will throttle you on a per-hour or per-24-hour basis. If you can trickle each newsletter out over several days, you could go that route.
i can confirm this
The point from the article that I'm really concerned with is:

> It is well to keep this biological fact in mind when considering outlandish claims about the imminent victory of veganism.

And while 'victory' is loosely defined, appears to come from the idea that:

> much of the world is trending towards plant-based eating

My point is exactly that if the "work around" (as you put it) works then the argument that biological history will necessarily prevent veganism from becoming more popular no longer really holds, precisely because we can "work around" it.

I don't really take issue with the idea that biology has to one degree or another helped to shape dietary habits today, just that the historical trend may not hold in the future in the face of social (which I take to include scientific) change.
Perhaps that stance has changed over time. In Clojure, there's the clojure.string namespace just functions wrapping java.lang.String methods https://clojuredocs.org/clojure.string
Lost, spent, or invested?
that's why i prefer that my nuclear reactors be spherical.
Probably the same or longer. In fact, the NuScale concept has been pursued since 2002, so more like 2 decades from concept to NRC certification. And you can tack on another 10 years for their hardware demonstration according to their published timelines. Size is not the question here. It's the analysis of the neutronics, thermal hydraulics, coupling of various systems, accident sequence prediction, etc. What takes time is credibility, ultimately getting all the parties involved to believe the calculations and understand the engineering decisions, and collectively agree that it's gonna work out. Have to convince the regulators, the advisory boards, the utility customers, the DOE, the suppliers.

What a creative "hack" work LOL
I wonder if there can be a difference in intention between "punishment" and "consequences."

I personally hear punishment and think of an intention to harm, whereas hear consequences as lacking that intention, more of an intention to inform.

For example, say that if someone runs a red light, they will receive a bill for $500. Am I giving them the bill because I believe they are a bad person and deserve to be punished? Or as a way to let them know that these are the rules and the consequences of the rules?

I'm ok with the latter and can feel very sad at the former, as I think it just perpetuates pain and increases distance in society.
I think this is just a cultural thing where the ecosystem prefers to compose things together. The Node ecosystem also hasn't centralized around a Rails. People tend to just use Express.

Also, the syslog server example doesn't seem like something a Rails would solve.

> can we please just get together at the next Conj conference decide what our "Rails" is going to be?

I think these days we, OP included, tend to use "Rails" to not just mean a monolithic framework, but also one that monopolizes the ecosystem which is one thing that made Rails good.

But since it's been tried before in the Clojure and Node ecosystems, maybe people just don't care for it.
The idea of punishment as a deterrent is hopefully dead and buried at this point.

The U.S. has one of the harshest prison systems in the developed world, and an outrageous recidivism rate - 76% of prisoners are arrested again within 5 years of release [1].

Norway, on the other hand, has some of the most humane prisons [2], and a recidivism rate of only 20% [1]

You're not wrong about parental enablers, but those without that kind of support basically just end up as freeters. Cost of living is surprisingly low for a first-world country if you've got low standards, so life can be sustained by not many hours of a robotic low-wage job. The reality of sonkeigo/kenjougo phrasebook shit means that there's not much risk of authentic human interaction even in a public-facing role, so I think you'd be surprised at how many people who are technically employed resemble the classic hikkiNEET pathologies. I'd call it more of a worldview than a specific state strictly defined by employment status.

If you think a more just society requires rehabilitation & showing the criminals a better way, you just got schooled by the far-left voters of San Francisco.

They found out the hard way that there are some very, very bad people out there, and they got sick of them. A very small number of sociopathic folks are not deterred by anything but the certainty of punishment.

In the worst case, all you can do is ensure that they can't prey on everyone else. Lacking capital punishment for most crimes, we're left with imprisonment, or Clockwork Orange.
> But if it doesn't come from hypothesis, experimentation, and, in the case of medical treatments, clinical trials, it simply isn't science. Or "ancient science".

Way I see it is, we humans are the most sophisticated creatures on our planet. Our birth onto earth is a natural process by all means. By natural, I mean we are a product of nature after all. We humans try to understand the nature around us including ourselves, which is what we termed as science. Our scientific thought itself is a product of nature, and they translate to our endeavors and curiosity to unravel the secrets of reality.

These visions that I spoke about are nothing but the universe speaking to these great rishis. By universe, I mean nature itself. Nature is bestowing knowledge upon its own creations to aid them in understanding itself! The same nature that has imbued life into our bodies when we are born. The same body which will eventually turn to soil after it has run its course.

Now, you might wonder, why nature is not bestowing these sort of gifts upon you? Frankly, I do not know myself. It is what it is. On the bright side, nature has bestowed the most fortunate gift of being born as a human being which almost as a law of nature makes the heights you can go to limitless. No other creature has the same benefits as human beings. We are born with both curiosity to ask questions and intelligence to analyze and infer profound meanings from their answers.

While "we", the ordinary humans live for about a 100 years before forsaking our bodies, however there are people who live for 1000s of years. It's a realm of possibility not yet uncovered by modern science.

> There's another kind of belief system which accepts axioms coming from divine visions and divine teachings, though. It rhymes with "pigeon".

That only came into picture recently during the last ~2000 years. The ancient knowledge I am referring comes from way before.
No but CSIDH doesn't use torsion point images because the class group action is already commutative. So there's no need to resolve the lack of commutativity.

Let me extend that comment a bit. SIDH operates over the 'full endomorphism graph' which doesn't have enough structure to form a class group. What we do know about it is that the ring in question is isomorphic to a sub algebra that is a quaternion algebra. Quaternion algebras are not commutative and this property is inherited.

To compare to diffie hellman, imagine that when you combine public material the order matters. If Alice and Bob don't find a way to agree on the order the secret is computed in, they get different results.

SIDH's torsion point images are how that agreement happens but they also depend on curve parameters that relate to the secret isogenies under use. It is this that is being attacked. A special case was found back in 2017, but no clear way to SIDH.

Warning on CSIDH: like CRS before it is vulnerable to Kuperberg attacks, so there's a subexpontential time attack. It's arguable therefore whether it is post quantum and what parameter choices are appropriate, if any.

This is all fine though. SIDH was never a practical contender for many use cases like say smart cards, because waiting 5 minutes for your payment to be authorised on a 40MHz smartcard processor is a bit of a no-go. SIDH is orders of magnitude slower than all other options.
