As well, we need to clearly distinguish "punishment" and "revenge".

Revenge is an emotional response by those who have been wronged in the past.

Punishment can mean many things (so perhaps we need more specific words), but I believe in this context it is meant to be a rational, conscious act to influence behaviour - though there are other kinds of punishment, and it can be difficult to distinguish. A parent may raise their voice very intentionally, without actually being angry, to gain attention, distinguish and underline a point, or elicit quick obedience (i.e. a "STOP!!!" when a child is about to dart on the road), but they may also raise their voice out of impulse, emotion, frustration, with no specific goal in mind and thus no clear direction or "win conditions".

(I've only recently learned of the phrase "omnidirectional ass-chewing" [1], which is a very intentional demenour and environment for receiving marines to put them into a constantly stressful environment to train focus. It LOOKS like random angry yelling, but is in fact extremely studied, careful, and intentional. )

There is a difference between a library and a framework, framework dictate how you work, library is an external, isolated to some extent, entity. I can see why someone would like to have a more native framework but will be ok to use an external library for purposes like stripe.

Curious if anyone outside of CF has a success or challenge story to share about Isolates. Super cool tech.

Why not? Traditional PKI has generally met the scalability test, so this is a pretty bold claim.

I'm making a statement about all possible experimentally measurable quantities, which as you pointed out have a finite precision and so can be represented as having terminating decimal expansions. This as far as I'm aware this is not a controversial statement.

I'm not making any kind of statement about whether space-time is continuous or not. You are modelling spacetime as continuous and seem to be saying this is the only possible option. That's not true; there are a number of different models of how space-time behave at the smallest length scales. Try reading about loop quantum gravity for example; in that model spacetime is taken to be a discrete lattice at the smallest scales. In your model with continuous space-time then it's true that a square of side length 1 would have irrational diagonal of length root 2. In reality we don't currently have experimental evidence to say either way, and it could be that your square of side length 1 has a rational diagonal which approximates root 2.
It's probably the same infection. Mr. Biden used Paxlovid which inhibits viral replication. It does not eliminate the virus.
I teach my children primarily to fix things by righting the wrong. I fully realize that not all wrongs can be righted, but it is a valuable starting point. So many times I've had the pleasure of seeing my children come up with genuinely ingenious ways to right a wrong.

In disputes where I'm playing referee between two of my children, I gravitate away from deciding who is right and who is wrong. Instead direct conversation around, what happened, what people need, and how we can satisfy those needs within the creative realm of reasonable possibility.

As a baseline for issues that don't have a clear needs-based line to follow, I consider the systemic issues involved and re-engineer systems to incentivize good behavior and disincentivize bad behavior. Most often this takes the form of natural consequences.

Finally, I don't have angelic children. The reason it works is because we've been doing it for years, not because my children are more compliant, or I'm some saint. We all get upset, angry, and do things we regret. What we are all invested in is having a shared desire to make things better than we found them.

What I am skeptical of, however, are responses which attempt to frame children as willfully non-compliant. That says more about the person describing the behavior than the behavior itself.
And also(sadly necessary) you want to stop scammers who will send you a broken phone and then pretend you broke it. So you want to switch it on before and after the repair.

> You will probably fall back to the line that black students would have had a higher GPA if they weren't discriminated against in other areas of society, but then it's not the school doing the discriminating. And this is the core of the problem. Instead of selecting the best students, universities have decided to select who they think hypothetically would have been the best student in a perfect world, and doing a very poor job of it.

It's more complicated than that.

If someone is in a bad environment, they can have a worse GPA and be a worse student at that moment, but once they get into the college environment they will be a better student, not just "could have been".

> And their arrogance in appointing themselves the corrector of all societal ills and their myopic focus on only gender and race differences in doing so has pissed a lot of people off.

Appointing themselves the corrector? For anyone that does have that motivation, they'd probably gladly welcome more cooperation. And those two getting most of the focus is because they get most of the discrimination.

It may just be my own misperception, but the "tough love" approach comes too close to the "pull oneself up by their own bootstraps" for personal comfort. It can work, but it doesn't often enough that I would strongly hesitate to propose it as a solution.

Ultimately, I don't think that any set of short-term actions alone can truly solve this. Macro-scale societal changes need to be in place or at minimum in progress before micro-scale efforts with individuals to make sense. Cure the disease, not the symptom.
A nice idea in theory, I'd love to manage networks devices using some open standard. However, I can already see what would happen if this were to become reality:

"You wish to configure your router? For your safety, you can only configure our VaporWare™ SecuRouter with our dedicated Windows 11 or phone app. Do note that any ad or tracking blockers might interfere with our super privacy preserving app (trust us, really!).

only Android, iOS, and Windows 11 are supported. App does not work without Internet connectivity. Android devices require Google Play services. Jailbreak and root access will trigger our SecuRouter Secure Data Protection mechanism and disable access from your IP address. Privacy agreements and terms and conditions apply. Product may not be sold in areas covered by the GDPR."

In fact, I've had to deal with routers that required me to log in through the ISP website rather than locally because of "security".
Yes, you get the eco system. But to what extend, the very thing mentioned in article rails-like framework is not really accessible right? I am ok with clojure not backing web framework, but also this one place where interop with springboot would be nice is not there (right?).
If I remember correctly, Google even contributes to SBCL because of that.
Amazing! Thanks for the documentation link!
See, that's the problem when "news" like RT hits on people that have no critical thinking ability. No one needs to put missiles physically closer for half a century now; they just launch from nuclear subs. Even Israel can do this.

There are a few points to unpack here.

1. Cows are herbivores. They will eat meat in certain situations if you put it in front of them, but it's not good for them. We are not herbivores, we are specifically omnivores.

2. Our ancestors were hunter gatherers, and their diet was by no means mostly meat. In fact, it was only meat when available, which was every few days to weeks.

3. There is evidence that humans are omnivores from both an anatomical and physiological perspective. For example, our teeth are suited for both grinding plant matter and tearing meat, and our intestines are relatively long, which is necessary for digesting plant-based food.

4. Humans can not digest cellulose, this is true. However, heating plant matter breaks down cellulose, so at the very least, ever since we started using fire on food, cellulose is not an issue. Technically, you could even heat grass and eat it, but it wouldn't be very tasty or nutritious.

5. While a diet purely on meat is possible, it's not the best thing for your health. A diet that is high in fat and protein and low in carbohydrates can lead to health problems over time, such as heart disease, stroke, and cancer.

6. Meat is calorically dense, so for hunter gatherers it made a lot of sense to seek this type of food out. In a modern world, this isn't really an issue, we have an absolute overabundance of all types of foodstuff.
Water is a cycle and isn't actually consumed. Fertilizer requires energy, as does transport.

If we make plant agriculture "sustainable" (i.e. independent of fossil fuels) then we will also make meat agriculture sustainable.

You’re gonna have to back up that “though experiment” with some data. Or at least a logical explanation, as to why you think the majority of the population are homicidal maniacs, held in check by the threat of prison time.

Otherwise your comment is little more that a dark speculative fantasy.
Producing these solar panels and everything that will consume its energy _also_ consumes energy. Probably produced in China, powered by coal.

The “abundance” perspective is deceptive, people seem to simply refuse to accept a reduction in consumption.
FWIW the Russian internet censorship is pretty weak because their propaganda machine relies on more traditional techniques for keeping things in check (domestic terror, lies about external danger, distortion of significant founding myths such as the victory over Nazism, exploiting native nationalism, and even just the basic need to feel sane via denial of reality). They missed the opportunity window to build a great firewall, but it seems it isn't needed after all.
This setup sounds great - am I understanding correctly, are you describing what is also called a router-on-a-stick? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Router_on_a_stick

I’ve always been concerned (probably irrationally), that it seems to halve WAN bandwidth (since all traffic has to travel both in and out of the router over the same cable). Do you find this is an issue?
But that is where you hit impedance mismatch. Some things that are easy to represent in a GUI (because they are graphical tasks) cannot be easily represented in a command line tool. XRandr is probably the worst example of a scriptable tool because you have to manually type in the coordinates and screen sizes which is at odds with how you would configure a graphical screen. If you want to set them based on some logic or calculations, you are better off reaching for a python script or something that is actually pleasant to write code in, and then use that to invoke the real API, not command line tools.

No, I did not receive any emails - just visiting amazon.com required me to reauthenticate and then required to change the password. The good thing about 1Password and other password managers is that you can't easily get tricked as the password prompt won't match the hostname and this will make you more suspicious.

And I'll believe it once the price-anderson cap is eliminated and they can still buy insurance.

Otherwise it's all talk. Manufacturers will always claim on that their product is 99.9% safe.

The closest realistic measure is how much financial liability their insurer is willing to shoulder and at what cost.

“Twitter did nothing wrong here.”

that seems like a bit of a stretch.

more was involved with this deal than a couple of contradictory statements by a blow hard. musk did wrong, but that doesn’t mean twitter only did right, nor does it mean that what twitter has accused musk of is totally accurate.
That is my feeling as well. I am not sure how this is more than someone rambling and yelling at the cloud.
Thank you for your comment. I can see how you might think that this question sounds like something you would find in a pop science article. However, I believe that it is a valid question that merits further exploration.

Can't they have a signed "self-test" image that they can boot up and it checks the phone? This wouldn't have access to any user data but can boot up and check that all of the components are working. This sounds much quicker and more effective than prodding at the user's OS anyways.
I think tha what matters isn't actually how you can debug on your machine.

What matters is how you can diagnose and fix a production problem. Without a debugger. Without SSH, ideally. Only with whatever monitoring or logging or other signaling you've set up.

And similarly, probably mattering more, how can someone else diagnose in production that way?

If you debug on your dev box using the same signals you'd have in production, you'll end up in that sweet spot when the pager goes off.
Oh, sure. but then they don't keep their online offering; users do. And you need to pay for a VPS instead of a service.
You can type hint to pick the one of the type you're looking for. It's not any weirder than in Java, no need to pass an empty array.
This is true, clojure is not super opinionated as people tend to think. Its nice, as you get to ramp up easily. There seems to be a steady path where you start with writing "java" in lisp and end up with pure functions and 1 reduce + something to trigger side-effects. I have worked with 4 codebases and they differed vastly.
It is certainly possible that artificial intelligence could come to the conclusion that humans are expendable, but it is also possible that artificial intelligence could see the value in humans and choose to work together to create an even more intelligent super-intelligence.
You didn't seem to have trouble posting a different response/opinion. And I'm glad you did, as I welcome the debate, even though I disagree.

As a side note, there is nothing technical limiting Lightning to USB2 speeds. It's fully capable of being adapted to USB3 speeds if Apple wants to. I would agree with you that Apple should have done this by now on the iPhone. I imagine they will. But as for how we're supposed to move big files around? AirDrop does a great job at this and is extremely fast, and requires no setup, and doesn't require that you have the right cable around, plus you can even AirDrop to many folks at once. I use this all the time in music rehearsals and for sharing photos or video.

AirDrop is actually so fast that the bottleneck is NOT the full speed of the WiFi chip that is present; it's usually the speed of the SSD or SD card you're reading from. AirDrop is blisteringly fast. Especially on newer devices with WiFi 6 hardware.

Side note 2: recent iPads actually do have USB3-capable Lightning ports.
There is no agreed upon definition of "cecum." The cecum is a pouch-like structure in the lower intestine where the large intestine begins. It is thought to aid in the digestion of plant material, but its exact function is not fully understood. Humans do have a relatively small cecum compared to other apes, but it is not clear if this is due to our diet or our evolutionary history.

There are several possible explanations for why humans might have a relatively small cecum. One possibility is that our diet does not require a large cecum to aid in digestion. Another possibility is that the cecum has shrunk over the course of human evolution as we have adapted to a diet that is less reliant on plant material. Finally, it is also possible that the small size of the human cecum is simply a result of our anatomy and is not related to diet or evolution.

I tried going almost meat free for a good decade (largely thanks to huel, which allow you to eat enough protein to workout).

Everything was fine until I hit 30s.

I started having serious stomach issues that doctors blamed on "stress" or the misteries of the gut. Over two years I dropped huel, gradually went back to meat, dairy and vegetables and grains.

I still had painful, bloody and explosive episodes.

I started eating a carnivore diet and all the symptoms disappeared in a week. I also lost 7kg.

This made me revaluate everything I believed in nutrition. I realised that the reasons for introducing a vegetarian diet as part of USDA was pretty much baseless and that USDA backpedaled on fat consumption being bad.

At this point I frankly doubt much of the research on nutrition and I'm not sure if I buy the reasons to avoid meat.

Is there really a link between meat and cancer and cardio diseases or are you just trying to sell me some preprocessed vegan crap?

Expanding on why this is dangerous, doing these breathing exercises in water is bad because the drive to breath (excess co2 in blood) can be postponed via hyperventilating beforehand, but this means you can still pass out from a lack of oxygen in the blood.

I think on Samsung phones, plugging them into a standard USB-C multiport hub with an HDMI monitor and a keyboard/mouse plugged in allows use of the "DeX" mode, even while locked.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see what's special about Carbon here. In C++ the compiler can also optimize pass-by-const-reference to pass-by-value, and they do. It just can't do it across an ABI boundary, but that should only be an issue with dynamic libraries, and Carbon has to follow the standard ABI there as well. Just make sure the compiler knows it doesn't have to follow the standard ABI for every symbol in your program, e.g. by enabling LTO and setting -fvisibility=hidden. See what happens `add` is made static: https://godbolt.org/z/KsqxP5Pxh (I also had to change foo() to avoid the compiler hardcoding the result of the single call in `add`).
