The article tells you plenty of things about John Donne.

It tells you a thing or two about his life: that he was born a Catholic and some of his family were imprisoned on account of their religion; that he went to sea with the Earl of Essex; that he had a lot of sex in his youth and became a religious minister later on, becoming the dean of St Paul's cathedral; that as his death approached he wore what would be his winding-sheet so that a sculptor could prepare to make a monument for him.

It gives you some quotations, for a sense of the small-scale sound of his language. "License my roving hands, and let them go / Before, behind, between, above, below" (from a distinctly naughty earlyish poem). "A man may be an adulterer in his wife’s bosom, though he seek not strange women" (from a sermon). "Busy old fool, unruly sun [...] saucy pedantic wretch, go chide / Late school boys" (from a poem whose speaker is in bed with his lover and doesn't want to have to go). "For God’s sake hold your tongue, and let me love". "I run to death, and death meets me as fast". Etc.

It tells you some things about (the author's opinion of) his character and writing style. "He was a splenetic satirist, all-observing, all-condemning, who was also a world-class flatterer/ingratiator. He had a slicing, dicing, predatory mind that he applied with equal force to sex, to politics, and finally to a religious vocation." His writing is intricate and difficult but with flashes of forceful clarity. (See the paragraph beginning "As for his poetry".) "Donne’s love poetry is extreme: Bodies melt, souls commingle, genders elide, death is an atom away.". "The almost Tantric lover, seeking an essence beyond the body, was also the yearning-for-eternity preacher.".

The article could have confined itself more strictly to quoting Donne and commenting on his life and work, I suppose. But it seems perfectly OK to me. It's not very long. It gives you some idea of how he sounded. It gives you some information about his life and its context. It tells you what sort of poems he wrote. I'm not sure it's reasonable to demand much more.
Because IPv6 addresses are free and IPv4 is expensive. Same reason why Google won't let you sign up without SMS verification. If you're caught spamming or breaking TOS you've effectively burned that v4 address or phone number.

v6 is more difficult, by design. The lower half of the address is deliberately not subnettable and it is the explicit design intent that machines on a v6 network can just make up new addresses within a /64 as they please. So you have to burn subnets. Except there isn't really a standard for how subnets are issued: most ISPs hand out /48s, Comcast insists on /64s for residential use, etc. In the IPv4 world you could ban one IP at a time, and only move on to banning entire AS allocations if you needed to. On IPv6, banning a /64 is a lot less impactful, so you have to start with the most drastic and customer-hostile option.

I don't quite understand the argument "0-based being easier for pointer arithmetic is nonsense because the language doesn't have pointers".

Whether or not the language presents the concept of "pointer" to the user is independent of whether or not it uses pointers internally. And if it exposes arrays as a concept, it has to implement them somehow.

The simplest possible implementation of arrays is having a start address and putting all elements next to each other in RAM. To get the address of a particular item, this layout naturally leads to the formula "base address + index * element size", with "index" being 0-based. If you want to expose other indexing schemes in your language, you'll have to add more logic to convert the user-visible index back to 0-based before you can obtain the address.

All of this is completely independent of the fact whether your language exposes pointers to the user or not.

Even the yacht story sort of hints at this:

> To keep people from having their jobs cut short by yacht-racing, Richards designed the language to compile as fast as possible. One optimization was setting arrays to start at 0.

If all indexing schemes were equal, why would this change even be an optimisation in the first place?

Well, you need a 30 minute battery buffer to get gas peakers online. Whether those gas peakers are running natural gas or green hydrogen depends on how much excess solar capacity there is and how much hydrogen plants cost.

Also, medium term storage is a very, very young industry. Things like redox batteries, flow batteries, molten salt, compressed air, and many others are on the horizon. The better these work the more gas peakers are solely used as backup.
Well, Java had at least one aspect of a religion: a purity test. Remember "100% Pure Java" from the late 90s?

The concept of nothing doesn’t really belong in the number line. It’s like inventing a new “number” to represent blue and then using it instead of pi.

It does explain it in the book in a fairly tortured way - its a perfect record player than plays things perfectly and can play anything and that makes it vulnerable. A worse record player would not be vulnerable.

I would love to work with folks like the people at RedHat! We're working on some new tools in C (GPLv2) which we think will make it easier to work with existing kernel/driver maintainers. We'll announce some of those things early next month and right after we'll be at QubesOS Summit & KVM Forum. I hope we get the opportunity to talk to some of the RedHat folks! :)
The US military spends more on renewables each year than most countries. They were on board long before the wider US Government felt it was politically safe.

> The military’s push into alternative energy started under Republican President George W. Bush in 2007, when he signed a law requiring the Pentagon to get 25 percent of the electricity for its buildings from renewable energy by 2025.
While automatic data collection might become harder, one can still curate high quality datasets. An example is Tesla's FSD autopilot which is nearly entirely trained on curated data (AFAIK), as well as highly realistic 3D simulation data. Sure, it is expensive, but the expected returns are also very high.

However, there is some evidence that NNs currently are somewhat limited by the availability of high quality data,[0] however I'm not sure this is really a problem because neural nets already accomplish amazing things, so one might not need that much data to get something useful (perhaps at the expensive of more compute, but so what; e.g. analog computing might give some 1000x speedup anyhow).

Also, thank you for reminding me that mathematics is "handwaving". It's good to remember that math is useless and doesn't actually show anything real. We may as well not teach it at all in schools, since it's all just "handwaving".

I don't look at a house as an appreciating asset, that would be stupid. Market forces control the price, and those are predominantly out of your control.

Interesting, we must work with really different data/queries.

I've come up against the distinction lots of times (and yes have to retrieve additional fields in order to address it), while I don't ever want to confuse 0 with NULL. Tons of things are legitimately zero but crucially non-null, like an inventory count. (Empty strings, on the other hand, do seem much more interchangeable with NULL in probably the vast majority of contexts.)
The other comments have pointed out this was a simple misconfiguration that was easily fixed.

What I take exception with is "it’s always LLVM’s fault, I know". If you're going to trash other people's hard work in such a glib manner, it behooves you to know the details of what you're talking about. Tell us, why would a language server that doesn't generate any code use LLVM?

0-based or any arbitrary offset of your choice so that your data model can more closely map to what you need it to. And use eachindex instead of making assumptions and you can work with arrays using 1-based, 0-based, or arbitrary-based indexing.

Many years ago, I had an Athlon 64 workstation paired with some type of 3Ware SATA RAID controller (a 9650SE, I think).

Every other boot, the BIOS would fail to initialize the controller, leaving the computer stuck at a "non-bootable device" error until I could manually reboot it.

My solution? A perpetually plugged-in USB flash drive with a small boot loader that would simply reboot the machine again, set to a lower boot priority than the SATA RAID controller.

It was pretty stupid, but if it's stupid and it works...
I really don’t understand the issue — you’re not forced to pay for more than a month at a time. Pay for a month of Paramount+ and then cancel once you’re done watching Strange New Worlds. You just paid $10 for 10 episodes of Trek. Seems fair.

Disney+ is an even better deal — _all_ of the Marvel movies you can watch at their monthly price.

Negative equity means little. So what if it's worth less when you sell than when you buy? Compare the net on that with the loss you take from renting.

Only a fool treats their dwelling as an appreciating asset anyway. It's subject to market forces.
You're saying this as if it were a good thing.

I don’t need but one service to get all of the Star Trek episodes. Also, I used Star Trek as an example because it had by far the largest library of any franchise and the most box sets.

Disney franchises are basically movies and streaming only TV series so it wasn’t as extreme as Star Trek. Besides, there are still a couple of gaps in their Marvel Universe library.

Netflix really doesn’t have much worth paying for anymore. The only reason I keep it is because T-mobile gives me a $14 discount.

Amazon Prime Video by itself wouldn’t even be something making it worth keeping Prime.

I also get HBO Max free (for now) by having AT&T fiber for internet.
> The article (and ensuing discussion) are about _library_ code, which necessarily has types that are orders of magnitude more complex than application code (source: see some of the links in the article).

Are you somehow implying that C++ or Java don't have libraries? As a sidenote, React (and that entire ecosystem) is an architectural hellscape (see Vue for much more streamlined & cleaner code).
This is why I cringe a bit at those bemoaning the horrible, awful, traumatic fate of journalism. Journalism is stupid. It always was stupid. It always will be stupid. That's not to say it has no value. But the reader has always been and always will be responsible to sift through the heaping mounds of dumb and find that value. I'm not exaggerating when I say, the New York Times, our paper of record has published some of the stupidest things you may ever read. Papers schilled for business, hacked for parties and confabulated for themselves since always.

On the other hand, the decline of local journalism is a serious crisis. Particularly the death of local investigative journalism. I would be very surprised if in 30 years or so we don't look back and see a noticable increase in local corruption correlated with the decline in local journalistic accountability.

JavaScript in Space – James Webb Telescope
It's complicated. The cynic's answer is "The United States prides itself on not turning its military on the civilian populace, and the National Guard is the practical method by which they hold a nation together while refraining on paper from such use of force."

As with so many aspects of American governance, they "solved" an either-or problem by implementing both ideas.
It doesn't have to be hard if they design it reasonably. XPS is similarly "thin" and you only have to undo 4 screws to replace the battery.
I'm not sure what you mean. You don't have to deal with index variables in a for loop:

for item in iterator {
vector.push_back(foo(item));
}

You're not explicitly indexing the source iterator or the destination vector at any point.
1) For many people, "more affordable public school" is still out of reach.

2) The quality of education at public schools is very often lower than that at more expensive schools. I have at least two data points of my own experience to back that up, along with the public perceptions. Acting like getting a better education is a "bad choice" because privatized universities overcharge students is not only an oversimplification, but one that punishes people for trying to better themselves, and for trying to be better contributors to the society we all share.

3) From what I've read, it is legal, via the HEROES act of 2003.

I guess you could have a stored procedure that checks for balanced transactions before inserting (or before committing, at least), with SECURITY DEFINER, and not give anybody else permissions to insert or modify the transaction lines table.

But yes, that is a downside, and if I were to write such a thing I'd make sure to have at least two mechanisms to avoid / detect errors (like, one validation in business logic and/or stored procedure, plus regular monitoring for transactions that don't add up to zero).
> This might be true for certain Django CRUD apps, but it's patently untrue in the general case. I've seen Python work fine for a prototype data science app, but fall over when real customer data was introduced.

The cognitive dissonance embedded in this statement is rather striking, considering Django itself is written in Python and is known for its ruggedness and code quality. Django manages all of this without even taking advantage of somewhat newer features in Python like typing.

If whole solar or wind farms find themselves sitting idle someone will drop off some containers nearby to split water into hydrogen or run a data center or something else that drinks power and skip the grid middle-man. Over-idle is not going to be a real issue; someone will always find a way to use of excess power.

And did you ever actually use cable? Top end packages can be $200 a month, and you generally don’t get to choose what to actually watch when you want to watch it. And most of it is unwatchable trash.

It depends on the city and neighbourhood. Some places you'll be fine with cheap u-lock. Others are suffer professional criminals, and you should get a Brompton you can hide under a dinner table, or in the coat-check. In the middle, a good u-lock combined with a cable is fine for daylight hours.
In addition to Steve's sibling comment, I'm responding narrowly to iterators versus for-loops. Recursion is out of scope.
Well, I would agree with a law that said you can't build wind farms next to populated areas where they might be noisy and an eyesore. My point is there are vast tracts of uninhabited and windy land in the West where a wind farm wouldn't bother anyone. Similar to how Europeans put them offshore, which they can do due the shallow offshore seafloor.
What percentage of the population lives in climates like yours? If I had to guess, maybe something like 10-20% of the worlds population?

My gut tells me the vast majority of the worlds population lives in locations that are more similar to Australia's climate than in climates like yours. So we start there, and overtime things get cheaper, we find better solutions to long duration storage, and then we start tackling the harder climates/geographies.
