I'm so interested to hear about the HTTP requests stuff.

I've played a tiny bit with SQLite Python extensions that perform HTTP requests, but I'm very unsure of the implications of this kind of thing.

What happens to the rest of the SQLite query engine if your custom function hits a page like https://httpbin.org/delay/10 with a deliberate 10 second delay before the request returns?

Maybe this is fine - your transaction takes 10 seconds longer but everything else continues to work as normal. I've not done the work to figure that out.
There is censorship on every network, not just social ones, and it's naive to think that's not connected to government policy. What I'm not aware of are any DNS level blocks (even at individual ISPs), but I'm afraid someone will correct me.

I developed for fun in Clojure and ClojureScript probably for 3 years, it was tremendous fun and got me into Lisps. In many ways Clojure does still hit the sweet spots from a language design perspective for me.

I have revisited Clojure every now and then after and IMHO its in a weird state, too popular and successful to completely die, but also limited to reach wider adoption.

When revisiting old projects I have seen countless of Clojure dependencies having died in the meantime. I have replaced utility libraries with more recent utility libraries sometimes several times. Very annoying. Paradoxically the core API is really stable to a degree that bugs aren't fixed that are a behaviour userland code might rely on.

But its overall I think more of a symptom than a cause for frictions when developing Clojure. Community management is bad, even worse that RH nourishes this elitist aura around himself. Then the JVM integration is of course the blessing that led to Clojure's initial success but is at the same time limiting. The Java community by majority seems to gravitate towards Scala (weird scala version incompatibilities incoming, Scala DLL Hell) and Kotlin.

So overall Clojure is in a strange situation. For picking it up on-the-job its not the responsible choice probably for most situations I work in. For my private tinkering the JVM dependency feels just a little too heavyweight. I don't see that Clojure will hit an inflection point of adoption in any way in the future that would make it a viable candidate for me to use at work.

I really would hope that a Clojure-on-guile or Clojure-on-racket implementation becomes ready at some point that would make me want to switch from Scheme to Clojure for the toy projects at least.

You should expect that when it's still "around the corner".

And it could make sense to continue subsidizing EV purchases once prices are similar. Or even beyond that, if you want new-ish EVs to be competitive with a bigger chunk of used gas cars in upfront price.
Following is the text of the post as translated to English by G.

> Samsung Electronics has officially unveiled the 'repair mode' service that can prevent the leakage of personal information of Galaxy smartphone users.
'Repair Mode' is a function that allows you to selectively disclose data when repairing a smartphone, and fundamentally blocks concerns about access or leakage of personal information that may occur during the repair process through some private companies.
If the user executes 'Repair Mode' in the 'Battery and Device Care' menu in the 'Settings' of the smartphone, the smartphone is rebooted. After that, you won't be able to access your personal data, such as photos, messages, and accounts, and only use the default installed apps.
After repairing the smartphone, the user can access personal data again after exiting the 'repair mode' and rebooting through pattern/fingerprint recognition.
Samsung Electronics will first introduce 'repair mode' through software updates from the Galaxy S21 series, and plan to expand it to some other models in the future.
Recently, Samsung Electronics has been continuously adding functions to protect and secure sensitive personal information to mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.
Last year, it unveiled 'Samsung Knox Vault,' an information protection technology that blocks various attacks by storing encrypted personal information in its own storage space. We released a new security solution to block.
In a recent article published in the Samsung Newsroom, Shin Seung-won, managing director of the Security Team of Samsung Electronics' MX Division, said, "Technology is connecting the world closer than ever, but the risks are also increasing." "Samsung's top priority is customers “It’s about making sure you stay safe while trying out this new experience.”
Yes it's correct! mvsqlite integrates as a custom VFS underlying SQLite's query engine, and SQLite ecosystem stuff can be used on top of it.
> The problem is that our government cannot be trusted.

Depends on what you mean, it sounds like you’re saying the government cannot be trusted to be perfect. I’d agree with that. But the counter problem is that the public cannot be trusted either. A huge number of people can and will avoid maintaining their car if they don’t have to, will wait to purchase tires until after they’re bald, will drive with smoky exhaust, will avoid paying sales taxes if they aren’t caught, will crash their cars and run if they can’t be tracked down, etc. etc.

This isn’t really a government problem, it’s a people problem. People just happen to make up the government.

> There’s no reason license plates expire, there’s no reason we should have to pay for inspection, there’s little proof it even is effective in improving safety.

Kind of a lot to unpack there. Contrary to your claim, there are reasons plates & registration & IDs expire. Whether you accept and agree with those reasons is a separate question. Cars do change hands and degrade over time. It makes sense to check in, especially from the POV of the govt who maybe primarily wants to tax any sales, and keep track of who’s associated with each license plate.

Safety and emissions inspections are improving our safety & air, and there’s data over time to show it.

> Drivers licenses again prove very little.

There’s some proof; we have lower accident rates than some other countries where drivers have a lower barrier to entry. Aside from that, licenses are partly for identification. You might not like that, but that is part of their purpose.

> There’s no reason I should have a bench warrant from missing a traffic ticket in New Jersey cause a police officer to detain me, arrest me, jail me, and send me back to New Jersey.

Sure there is, you appear to be fleeing when you miss a court date and drive across state lines. I’m skeptical this happens with any regularity over minor traffic tickets with no other context and a clean record. But again you’re saying “no reason” when what you mean is you don’t like it.

You’ve established that you have a fear of abuse, but not that it’s affecting you routinely. I haven’t seen any dragnets ever, personally.

> On the other hand doesn't that defeat the purpose of the privacy thing?

It depends - a lot of the privacy invasions go beyond just the IP address and also include browser fingerprints and on-page activity collected by malicious Javascript - these third-party frontends defeat that.
rustc rejects the resulting program if you mechanically factor out a function accessing &mut self, into a function holding mutable borrows to half the fields calling another function which access the other half of fields (or vice versa, the caller holding &field calling a method mutating other fields). This requires the more complex transformation of passing individual fields into the subfunction (more work, but sometimes easier to read), or waiting for Rust to add partial borrows. Note I've never actually hit this case myself, though I've heard it's an issue people run into.
SPF is less of a guarantee - if your SPF policy whitelists a shared email server then anyone using that can still impersonate you. DKIM is a stronger guarantee as it requires having access to a signing key.

> Meat contributes literally zero to global CO2 emissions. After all, it's recycled grass.

Do you genuinely not understand that these animals are bred for humans consumption? They wouldn't exist otherwise.

If you can nurture a human with X amount of plant food, but instead use X+Y amount of plant food (and extra water, fertilizer, fossils fuels etc.) to raise cattle to nurture the same amount of humans, you've absolutely increased carbon emissions as compared to the first option.

I sincerely do not get how one can miss this point??

> Paradoxically the core API is really stable to a degree that bugs aren't fixed that are a behaviour userland code might rely on.

Can you give an example? As a medium user of Clojure I struggle to think of anything in the core that could rightly be considered a "bug" and fits this description.
We never had a single problem with it in the years I was on board. There were few moving parts besides the control rods and a few valves. When I stood watch on the steam throttle the reactor power would spike when I opened the throttle up. I tell my kids I've controlled a nuclear chain reaction with my bare hands.
I have been learning Racket on and off for the last few years as part of an interest in DSLs. (The documentation is well written, but I confess a certain kind of impatience with it because it is hard for me to get task-specific information when I'm trying to solve a particular problem.)

I recently had to remove parinfer because its inferences in multi-line syntax-parse statements were not great: I had to join a bunch of lines together to put in the parentheses I needed and lost placement. Parinfer's unwillingness to let me balance parentheses manually is a frustration. Am I misusing it?
I can see two large use cases for small PWR at this point in time even if the price per watt is similar/higher than large reactors. One is the exact same argument for why small PWR was installed in submarines, that is replacing diesel generators that operate 24/7. Those still exist in some locations and situations, and diesel generators that operate 24/7 are very dirty and require a lot of fuel to be transported. They could in theory also displace backup generators if multiple locations require uninterruptible power and each has an expensive diesel generators that require testing every week/month or so. Not sure if there exist studies done on emissions from backup generators at hospitals, but I am pretty sure I read about the problem somewhere.

The second big use case would be Europe right now. If small PWR can be produced fast, like say within a year, those could be economical viable. The energy price for next winter is predicted (depending on which gloom and doom you read) to reach around 2x to 20x compared to the record prices of last year. Such prices can make a lot of technology economical viable, and a big factor will then be product availability.
The article is about a hair loss treatment. Not sexual attraction
I was very confused by what the author is pointing out in the opening Point / Print example. ("[T]he compiler is allowed to convert that to a T" -> wait, why did the compiler change a struct to an int32?)

I think this boils down to: Carbon defaults to passing parameters that fit in a single register by value, and all others by const reference. This affects a few things you might take for granted in C++, like whether you can take a reference to a parameter.

The opening example is showing two samples of Carbon and the equivalent C++ code, noting that the "undecorated" parameter `p : Point` is equivalent to `const Point& p` (pass by const reference to a struct) and `x : i32` is equivalent to `std::int32_t x` (pass by value).

You should look for value in others traits instead of assuming the superiority of your own. While I personally am more like you, I recognize the value that competitive people bring to the table. Hating a group of people due to a personality characteristic is honestly a disservice to your own intellectual curiosity.

Have you ever sought to understand why they are so competitive? Also a lot of this is rooted in internalized misandry. According to my wife women also turn everything into a competition. But of course, there's no competition between women and men because all competition is ultimately sexual in nature. Which is probably why men don't notice women's competitiveness.

Yeah. I'd note the need for a centralized fuel supplier, as you don't want hundreds of little municipal nuclear plants trying independently to dispose of the waste. Have a centralized "library" of nuclear fuel, where the plants "check out" the fuel and then turn it in when spent. The centralized authority can concentrate expertise on the issues of sourcing uranium, tracking where it is, then disposing of it safely. The small plants are then freed to focus on running the actual plant and providing reliable electricity to their cities.

Yeah, no, none of those are a cure for baldness. They might make you more attractive, and if that's your primary concern about being bald, then great, you've found a way to compensate. But you'll still be super bald regardless of your personality, career and physical shape. And also you won't be as attractive as you could be with better hair.

The model is something like:

attractiveness = personality + career + physical shape + hair + ...

(each one of them with some weight coefficient)

The point is to figure out what parts you can/want to improve and to accept the ones you can't, not to pretend that advancing your career fixes your baldness.
I agree that there's potential for sustainable husbandry in grasslands you cannot use otherwise. But it's very small and could not sustain today's mean consumption at all. Meat production relies heavily on farmed feed, with very low efficiency (25kg of feed for 1kg of beef). For growing that feed you need a lot of farmland which is a driving factor for the destruction of carbon sinks like the rain forest. Here in Europe for instance we are not able to produce enough feed for our animals, so we heavily import from the Americas.

Also your argument against methane emissions is not very well thought through. You could argue the same against any CO2 emissions, by arguing that at some point they will be stored by CCS again.

Yeah, I get that. Even in Kotlin there definitely a number of places where I prefer the Kotlin library to the Java, and I can see that it would happen more often in Clojure.

That said, the example in the article is the Stripe API, and I cannot see a good reason not to just use the official Java one. I've used it a ton, and it's as simple as can be—you pass a map in and get back an object. If that's a problem, either Clojure has a way worse interop story than necessary or the author is suffering from a variant of not-invented-here syndrome.
the only thing against it really is political nimbyism

Actually, from what I've read in the local newspapers in the areas affected, the politicians are all for it, so you're making assumptions there.

The people who are against it are the people who actually have to live with the stuff for the next thousand years.

If it's so safe, so stable, so easily rendered harmless, why not bury it in the bedrock beneath Manhattan, or Boston, or Virginia? All places that are far more geologically stable than, for example, Yucca Mountain.
