Well, TBBT is especially known for recording and using the audience laughter. That's why I explicitly mentioned it and it creates some interesting moments the producers didn't even intend to be funny. You can find multiple sources for that like point 10 here [1]. There are some YouTube videos giving deeper insight into the process but I don't have them at hand.

The US _does_ have examples of government censorship in media, some more extreme than others. The fact you don't even think of it as censorship just shows how prevalent it is. It's not on the same level as the CCP, but it does exist!

For example, during the AIDs epidemic, Reagan used his social and political power to effectively ban the mention of that word on primetime television (remember, not only was he the president of the United States, he was also once the president of the Screen Actors Guild). Not even Will And Grace, a 1998 sitcom about a gay couple, was allowed to mention AIDs or HIV at all in its 11 season run!

He's also the reason movies in the 80s got away with so much more than they did even in the 90s, when cultural values themselves hadn't changed that much comparatively. the MPAA board was completely sized up, what was allowed to be said on TV was changed, and seemingly arbitrary rules put in place ("Fuck" can be said only once in a PG-13 movie or once-an-episode in certain network shows ONLY if it's non-sexual). This is why you have classic kids movies like Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988, PG) that if they were re-released today would be either R or possibly not even allowed to be shown a wide release in theaters.

And you know, now we have the whole "banned books" things in (my home state of) Texas, Florida, etc, which almost exclusively censors books with deal with LGBTQ and race issues from even being available in a library to be checked out by a curious student on their own time (including, in a Dallas suburb and throughout Virginia, Anne Frank's Diary).

What Is Computation?
tldr:
A computation is a sequence of simple, well-defined steps that lead to the solution of a problem. The problem itself must be defined exactly and unambiguously, and each step in the computation that solves the problem must be described in very specific terms. (Conery, 2010)
I think some cultural relativity is needed to tamper that, the US has a generally open minded idea of what it means to naturalize (both legally and culturally). There's also a pretty number of big companies founded or run by first generation immigrants in the US.

And I’m sure there are other examples of “amazing weekends” yielding neat stuff when somebody good gets into the zone and stays there. Also, trying to get through grad school in physics or chemistry (particularly experimental) will have you working lots and lots of 8+ days. But there’s a career invested in such times.

I can’t do boring stuff for very long at all. Never could, as it’s boring. When I was young, interesting stuff slipped out of time. And I think there’s a few rounds left in the gun but I have nothing to spend them on. Maybe people aren’t doing shit they care about?

> I think a much better pattern would be to enable dev teams to self serve. Set up the required infrastructure and guard rails, then let teams handle their own deployments and infrastructure.

I think that's how DevOps is actually supposed to be done in the first place. You view Ops -- and the code used to manage and support it -- as a product, and get a specialised team of experienced Devs (and architects) to build it.

Once you've got the basic infrastructure and architecture in place, you then train up the individual development teams to customise it, extend it and troubleshoot it as they need to. In much the same way as they do with any other software product.
All credit to my colleagues in academia, but the pace of technological change in mining is often wildly overstated by mining companies as an attempt to attract investors, greenwash, or genuine misunderstanding of the underlying technology.

Most notably, many of the newer techs encounter meaningful difficulties as they attempt to scale. Nearly all of the advances in current mining have been either driving economies of scale (larger trucks, larger plants, block caving undergrounds) or sweating efficiencies (electronic detonators, computer-assisted monitoring and design, reprocessing tailings). One of the great things about mining is the ability to simultaneously accept there is often lots of free cash flow around to invest in the next great thing while acknowledging the brutal realities that all the tech in the world won't help if you don't have a matching orebody.

While the author does a messy job of their pitch, it's indisputable that the overall quality and size of deposits is going down over time. For many of us in the industry, we know that the problem is not going to be running out but rather is society able to handle increasingly frequent supply/demand shocks without losing the collective plot. We already see a bit of this tension now: for every bio-mining initiative we have another set of lunatics who are proposing to "mine" sea beds.

There are interesting times ahead.
Nope. Its all buggy and shitty. Dell XPS had coilwhine for several ages despite numerous complaints and other laptops with same chipsets didn't. The cause? Cheaping out on inductors. Lenovo has firmware issues I just returned my laptop which gone black screen due to some suspend/sleep state at random. This is a huge issue btw affecting more than 20-30+ models. Actually Lenovo support guy I asked for his recommendation said he got the M1 Macbook Air lol, the other one I spoke to said the only one he didn't have complaints about was their flagship P1 model. The previous Dell I tried ordering had GPU DOA. Honestly I don't give a shit about the on-site support the other guy mentioned, its just a bandaid on the problem that all laptops suck, but more often than not no matter how many times you replace a motherboard you can't fix these glaring issues! Its the QUALITY of the motherboard that sucks!

Macbooks aren't perfect either despite having better wifi, audio (and lower noise-floor). I would not choose a Macbook unless an employer gave it to me for free, but then I would without a doubt choose one. Will the logic board fail after 1 year warranty or a year after? Or have other quirks? Most likely!

Android is the same btw, ask me why I run iPhone despite being the largest android fanboi previously.. everything was terribly broken and half-baked.. The only android device I own now is my SONY X900H TV and since latest update it has started to reboot itself at random.

The problem with these fad methodologies is that it either works, or you are not doing it properly. The methodology can't be wrong.

It is like saying that C programs never crash, because if they crash, it means you are not using C properly. It is true, but no one will pretend that, everyone knows that under real life circumstances, C programs can crash, and there are plenty of other programming languages that address this issue, at the expense of other things, like performance or simplicity.

But for some reason those who push methodologies don't seem to consider that if that methodology is difficult to implement, or if it is not robust against things like conflicts of interest and office politics, or whatever, then maybe it is a problem in their methodology. It doesn't mean the methodology is bad, just that it doesn't work in every case, and that some tweaking may be necessary.

> It's basically the reason idealism/utopianism is never practical.

It is interesting how people can follow the same path and reach different conclusions. To me, UBI makes sense BECAUSE of decreased production. I do not want people who do not want to work a particular job to have to work at that job. I think we have enough food that nobody in this country has to go hungry, even if they choose to not work. Having these people at work does not help productivity (even though it might help production) where I define productivity as production per worker. In fact, I'd say if you reduce the worker base by a lot and only decrease production by a little, you have raised productivity.
> I'm sure you can find plenty of people in the west who believe stupid things. Does that mean that western countries are "removing pieces of reality"?

Yes. The past 20 years or so the media ecosystems have been trying to do exactly that, at least in the US where I live. Remove the bits they don't like, and invent out of whole cloth replacement bits.
>Personally I'm mostly offended how stale and unoriginal a lot of these jokes are

It's CBS. The channel for old people on a medium for old people.

>I dare you to show that scene at a liberal college and notice how few laughs you get.

Yes, and? Everyone thinks they like 'irreverent' comedy until it violates the wrong proprieties. "On the way out of fashion" is a flavor of subversive comedy, often targeted at different audiences than "on the way into fashion" flavor of subversive comedy.

The people old enough to watch CBS are from a generation where they and their friends can exchange jokes at the expense of eachother's lineal stereotypes without it being inherently toxic. I just let them have their laughs, it seems pretty harmless.
A recent article local to me, Mid Atlantic Coast USA, that touches on farmers quitting. From the article this one happened to be the largest privately owned farm in the State.

Wonder who bought it? We can certainly anticipate food prices rising as the core needs in life; air, water, and energy become the next hot commodity as the "nice to haves" supply chain suffers and those with liquid capital seek returns.
Ask HN: Advice on starting an open source coding project?
Hi,

I'm new to programming and I'd like to work on a personal, open source project around the "Quantified Self" area.

My goals are to learn more about programming and to also develop a useful tool for myself.

The MVP will be a web server that will send me text messages daily asking "how many hours of cardio did you do", "did you go to the gym", "how many hours of focused work did you do", etc.

Then, I can reply by texting the answers back.

I want to store this in a database and build a frontend that'll let me see this data in a calendar view.

Eventually, I want to make the text messaging feature "smarter", add more integrations (so you can communicate through whatsapp, etc.), add an export to CSV feature, etc.

I've gone through a couple of JavaScript books, so I'll start off with JavaScript, ExpressJS (or should I use an alternative?), the Twilio API and AWS RDS.

How would you start a project like this?

Would you first write out a detailed list of the requirements and then create a sketch of what the API should look like and then start coding?

Should I look at GitHub to see if anyone's done something similar to this?

Should I put more time into thinking about the technical choices I'm making here (with AWS, ExpressJS and JavaScript)?

Thank you very much!

I suspect you and the author are using different definitions of "paid for".

To rephrase, in order for the tube of toothpaste to be on the store shelf, all the resources required to create it must have already been expended. The workers got their paychecks last week, the ingredients were already purchased. No further resources are required to put the tube on the shelf, and your payment cannot influence whether it gets there, because it's already there. Your payment can only influence whether there will be another tube of toothpaste to replace it later.

New Acquisitions: On the Wisdom of Noah Smith
>>Native speakers say “the store” even when there’s no expectation that a) I know which store they mean,

>The other person doesn't need to know, it's acting like a specific place has been introduced without it being introduced because to specifically introduce it is wasteful.

That was in response to the reply where you said:

>I say "I went to the store" or "I went to the pub" it's somewhere we both go or experience or have an expectation of going or experiencing, no further introduction needed. If we both go to the same conservatory then "the conservatory" would work,

In other words, I only brought that up, because you were saying it falls under a case where both people know which one it refers to. If you weren't using that defense, you shouldn't have replied here.

>>Even under your new standard, you should say that “the conservatory” is fine as long as the listener “goes/has gone to conservatories”.

>It may well be, and it still fits with what I described, and expected shared experience that is assumed to need no further introduction for the rest of what is about to be told.

Great, but there you're definitely diverging from native speaker usage (as illustrated from the original comment [1]) -- native speakers do not otherwise use "the" for such cases, and would agree you shouldn't say "the conservatory" in that case just because the listener has also gone to a conservatory.

>You have been or will go shopping in your life, and you know or will come to know what they are referring to. Older people will often use language to youngsters that youngsters do not fully understand yet. It helps the youngsters come to understand it.

True, but irrelevant to the issue at at hand. Here you were claiming that it's fine because it's expected that the listener has already shopped at that store. If you want to switch to "well, they're going to model how other people would treat the store's definiteness" that is a different reason for making the noun definite here, which would still make this case different and break the usual pattern of when a noun is made definite.

>>(This is why oh-so-clever rhetorical questions should be used with caution.)

>Because they point out the stupidity of a response and may invite further stupidity in response? Yes, that is a downside.

Any stupidity it pointed out was on your own side -- you were absolutely incredulous at the idea that there might be a native speaker that never goes shopping. Haha! Point for you! What a dumb argument! Now everyone will see the light because you have pointed out a clear absurdity in the other person's position!

Except ... such people (non-shoppers) do exist. Which means, not only did you make a demonstrably false assumption, you were calling the other person stupid despite being correct, and adding one more layer of correction that has to be resolved before the discussion can continue.

Yeah -- that counts as a reason to be cautious of that technique.

Scala 3 actually doesn't really eliminate braces in any meaningful way. Sure, they're optional for delimiting traits, classes, and objects. But braces are heavily used for block scoping in Scala too. E.g. a very common pattern:

retry(Seq(1.second, 2.second, 3.second)) {
// some action that can fail
}

This still requires the braces as of right now. I think the syntax changes will just confuse more people than it helps, at least for the time being.
The Plan to Blow Up the Internet (Regarding AB 2273)
From a Darwinian perspective though agriculture vastly increased the population of humans. So as far as nature's inbuilt goal functions goes, it was an enormous win.

Natural evolution doesn't optimize for hedonic well being. It optimizes for survival and growth.

It's also possible that if we manage to cope with things like climate change, avoid self-inflicted disasters like nuclear war or bioterrorism, and adapt to resource constraints, we'll eventually end up on the other end of the post-industrial transition better off than we started ~15,000 years ago. If it does turn out that way it makes the whole period of agricultural and early industrial toil look like a kind of "fitness valley," a decline between two local maxima.

In any case I don't think there's any going back. We have long ago passed the point at which reversion to a hunter-gatherer condition is politically, economically, and socially feasible. By the time large scale agricultural societies had standing armies it was pretty unlikely. I've long believed that we conclusively passed the point of no return at exactly 5:29 a.m. on July 16, 1945:

No, that's pork barrel spending, which is a different thing, namely, a policy decision (that you perhaps disagree with) made within the confines of the law. Stop trying to get the word corruption to encompass "all decisions I disagree with."

> How are we getting away with this? Isn’t someone going to catch on soon? How many “new platforms” do we have to make, before people start realising that rewriting everything, using “the latest tech” is not going to solve the problems that matter?
