I recently stumbled across a website which is also an app called Webnovel and because I've never been huge on reading stuff on a LCD, due to eye strain, I've been very sceptical (That's why I own Kindle and ReMarkable). But I read a few pages on my computer and I got hooked into the story so I downloaded the app and now I actually find it quite easy to read on the phone, especially because the width of the page is quite small so it's easier to go to the next line while reading.

EDIT: (Both of the stories are fiction, they're not scientific literature, if you're looking for non-fiction that had me pumped, here ya go: "Life brought to artificial cells" [2])

The story that hooked me is: "I cultivate passively" [0], it's quite brutal though and at times the writing can feel a bit amateurish, but it still got me hooked.

But the story I've been reading for the past two days is: "Reborn As A Dragon Girl With A System" [1]. The quality of writing is better with this one and the story feels quite a bit more colourful.

Don't worry, no real spoilers ahead.

The first one that I mentioned is very dark, it's about a man that's practicing cultivation in a sect where they put a thing similar to a leech or a worm into your heart which is constantly eating your blood and your blood qi, meaning if you're not eating enough the worm thingy with kill you, but if you are feeding yourself and thus the worm. The worm will grow and release purified qi which will allow you to get to a higher level of cultivation, but that will also make the worm stronger, thus eating more. So it's really a world of struggle it's either eat or be eaten.

As for the second story, it's about a girl who's parents were killed when she was like 6 years old and because she didn't have anyone else she had to live on the streets, seeing more bricks than trees (quote from the story). One day she was digging through a dumpster when she was attacked by another homeless person, because she was scavenging in his territory, this resulted in her death, as she was dying she cursed all humans saying that they're all rotten to the core and hoping that if she ever reincarnates she would be anything but a human, even a bug would be better... Thus she's reborn as a very cute red dragon baby. ^^

It can when the request isn't really a request but an assertion taken to an absurd extreme that merely resembles a question. cf Tucker Carlson "just asking questions".

That's really not very interesting, this same argument can be applied to many things that were good and many things that were bad.

Lots of arguments lacking any sort of nuance in this one, but since I am short on one I will respond to just once:

> If Uber can charge low prices because lots of people are willing to work for it, and consumers choose Uber because of its low prices...where is the problem? If Uber subsidizes rides and goes broke, they deserve that fate as well.

Except once Uber starves and destroys the taxi service in a city, and one day declare bankruptcy and close down their servers, that city is going to be left in a pinch with a void that can't immediately be filled, leaving society to foot the bill for their greedy destruction.

It seems like this argument and some others constantly suffer from the libertarian wet dream where any business, no matter how complex, can be spun up in an instance _if only there was no government to interfere_. That has never been true, and every business has externalities towards society that may need to be managed and prodded back in line from time to time with very necessary regulations.
This is really cool and a fun way to try out this stuff I've been hearing about. One thing that'd be cool is a "retry" button that picks a different seed. My first attempt didn't turn out so great (https://i.imgur.com/zV48hCV.png)

At some distance in time, returns on capital are no longer adequately approximated by "x%APR". I think this distance in time is at most around 150 years, and even then only in the USA. In most of the world, it's far less than that.

And the Internet was created by the US government, so it's also a public resource.

Ok, it's been privatized, but can the government abdicate it's responsibility to protect freedom of speech by privatizing?

Edit because I'm "posting too fast": Paying for most of the infrastructure didn't make TV stations or phone companies exempt from similar regulation. I don't see why it would make social networks exempt.
Worked for myself for two decades. While I enjoyed the freedom, it has its downsides (e.g. no sick pay).

I work for a large corporation now and enjoy it a lot. Strong unions ensure good pay and great, family friendly working conditions. I even get days off for taking care of my kid (in full pay). I also enjoy working with colleagues. When I was self employed, I had occasional contractors / collaborators working with me on projects, but that’s not the same as loyal colleagues who always have your back.

Most importantly, as others here stated, do something you love.

The problem is that the OP, by "just asking questions", is engaging in an enormous time imbalance.

It's a standard tactic of skeptics. Ask a simple question. Takes only a minute or two. But the answer turns out to not be so simple, and requires much time in composing an answer. And of course the answer also invokes concepts, terms, models, research, etc that themselves are not simple, and so the questioner asks another round of "simple questions", which take significant time to answer. After a few rounds of this the answerers are exhausted and the questioner proclaims victory in the sense that he/she still has questions, and the answerers "can't" answer them, typically because they have jobs, kids, significant others, and in general a life outside answering skeptic questions.

There is a tremendous amount of literature on this in both the popular press and scientific journals. You can google those as easily as we can, and if you were serious about finding the honest answers to your questions that's where you would start.

Emphasis on natural inherence. Meritocracies work if everyone is statistically identical. They even work when everyone is perfectly identical. They don't if every action is independent and identically distributed, but it's not; being lucky in the past can make one more capable in the present even in an unbiased system.

We should keep that randomness in mind to avoid being cruel. But systems that ignore this path dependence, or worse, try to stamp it out, underperform those that acknowledge it.
Guys, there's zero reason for a webapp to only be visible below a certain screen width - if you think the styling is going to break above a certain width, just set a max-width on your container and center it.

Another tip - allow the user to see the dapp before having to connect their wallet - the friction of having to connect, even just with metamask / 2 clicks in total, is enough friction for me to just close the site.

At the very least, show screenshots or something on the landing page.

Good luck!
> I don’t think same hour delivery will ever be long-term sustainable in a country with low unemployment.

In Europe we have something called ‘flash orders’, where your groceries are usually delivered within 10 minutes. Way crazier than same-day. Like you said, it does make one wonder if those companies (Gorillas, Flink, Getir) will ever be sustainable long term.
Plausible, though 2 ad hominems dont make an argument.

> I'm a C programmer, I began in ~1995, and I mostly wrote C

You are so lucky. I used around +12 langs, professionally, and learning Rust was the biggest slap on the face I ever faced.

The major breakthrough on my learning was understand that Rust make A LOT of things easier, but start doing a fully formed system/app was not the way.

ie: Get to know the real small stuff.

Rust is: structs, enums, traits, iterators.

Then learn the idioms:

https://rust-lang.github.io/api-guidelines/

The most key thing about Rust is that everything revolves around trait and trait composition. For example. if you look at:

https://doc.rust-lang.org/src/alloc/string.rs.html#366-368

You will wonder "where is all the functionality to deal with Strings???".

And the answer is that that is not on Strings, but around several traits. Then you start seeing that traits everywhere, and suddenly, you see that learn X here means you already know how do Y there.

Then, you start doing apps/systems, and now it will fly!

I'm not surprised or concerned. Reputation is a thing, and if someone who has a track record has something to say, it's not a surprise people are interested. Journals like Science take advantage of the same effect to become high-status publication venues.

Yes. And all this fancy 'metaprogramming' is just syntactic sugar for how one calls subroutines.

I agree: Python has Batteries Included. But additional Batteries are Optional.
In most cases no(remember, hydrocarbons and the hydrogen produced by them are often industrial/chemical feedstocks for Si, lubricants, adhesives and polymers used in green mfg) so you're right.

The problem is right now these things do indeed depend on dirty energy. You're basically making the same fallacious argument as politicians do now. In the long run, everything will be green. That's not the point. The point is how we get there. You can't ignore the present or the engineering involved to get to the future.
His book The Principles of Art from 1938 is probably the best example. He offers a definition of art arrived at through ordinary language philosophy, and, along the way, also develops a theory of imagination, language, and anti-copyright.
The government should regulate gig workers the same reason why we don’t have child labor. At some point, society needs to agree that protecting a certain group of people is important morally instead of spewing economic religious thoughts like “buTS iTs ThEir cHoice”. I’m pro capitalism but in some cases, laissez faire means we want the privileged to remain privileged and the poor to remain poor.
There are studies on crime reduction. One such finding that I remember is that harsher punishment tend to impact crimes which are premeditated, but not those occurring in the heat of the moment.
>I got an account on Metafilter back in '08 and closed it in '15 because it became devastatingly political. It was like a cliff face, it went from a generous and unrestrained community to total one-sided 'my way or no way' politics.

Yes. People who haven't heard of Metafilter don't get how, at one time, it was the best of Reddit and Hacker News in one place.

It really destroyed itself because users (and, more importantly, the mods behind the scenes) developed a hivemind that exceeds anything out there other than the likes of /r/politics (no, kids, HN's "hivemind" is nothing of the sort in comparison) in its intensity to erase anyone who commits wrongthink. I hope Ms. West understands how catastrophic the consequences were.
Hi! I use this technique and others for calming down and it really does help. I feel like I faced your issue and solved it with diaphragmatic breathing. That solved it for me with regards to deep breaths through the nose. As for not enough air to exhale, it might be solved with diaphragmatic breathing, since you’re getting more air in, but it might be worth it to soften your exhale, as if you’re blowing a candle but way softer.
I think I missed your explanation of why they fall on the opposite line. Care to explain?

> How the 1st Amendment might protect a corporation's religious POV but not its exercise of editorial control is a very good question

I don’t think this court buys the idea that the platforms exercise editorial control. For example:

“But the more fundamental problem with the Platforms’ reliance on Herbert is that they do not have an “editorial process” that looks anything like a traditional publisher’s. See supra Part III.C.2.c. Herbert involved discovery into how an editor selected, composed, and edited a particular story. See 441 U.S. at 156–57. But the Platforms, of course, neither select, compose, nor edit (except in rare instances after dissemination) the speech they host. So even if there was a different rule for disclosure requirements implicating a newspaper-like editorial process, that rule would not apply here because the Platforms have no such process.”

Or:

“ The Platforms are nothing like the newspaper in Miami Herald. Unlike newspapers, the Platforms exercise virtually no editorial control or judgment. The Platforms use algorithms to screen out certain obscene and spam-related content.8 And then virtually everything else is just posted to the Platform with zero editorial control or judgment. “Something well north of 99% of th[is] content . . . never gets reviewed further. The content on a site is, to that extent, invisible to the [Platform].” NetChoice, LLC v. Moody, 546 F. Supp. 3d 1082, 1092 (N.D. Fla. 2021). Thus the Platforms, unlike newspapers, are primarily “conduit[s] for news, comment, and advertising.” Miami Herald, 418 U.S. at 258. And that’s why the Supreme Court has described them as “the modern public square.” Packingham, 137 S. Ct. at 1737; see also Biden v. Knight First Amend. Inst., 141 S. Ct. 1220, 1224 (2021) (Thomas, J., concurring) (noting Platforms are also “unlike newspapers” in that they “hold themselves out as organizations that focus on distributing the speech of the broader public”).
The Platforms’ own representations confirm this.9 They’ve told their users: “We try to explicitly view ourselves as not editors. . . . We don’t want to have editorial judgment over the content that’s in your feed.”10 They’ve told the public that they “may not monitor,” “do not endorse,” and “cannot take responsibility for” the content on their Platforms.11 They’ve told Congress that their “goal is to offer a platform for all ideas.”12 And they’ve told courts—over and over again—that they simply “serv[e] as conduits for other parties’ speech.”13“

They kind of have a point. The platforms seem most interested in minimizing financial costs like the hiring of moderation staff and loss of advertising and reputational costs like PR damage and pissing off sensitive users. They don’t seem to have any particular editorial mission. They seem to mainly want to grow and profit. I actually wonder if they would have a stronger case if they were avowedly advancing a leftist agenda. IANAL
It's a shame - MetaFilter and sites like SlashDot used to be more prominent. I think that has changed with the way Google likes to lead to paywall and ad sites now over quality content and discussions. Just to make a point, if I search "how to screw in a lightbulb" I wouldn't be surprised if the top result takes me to a blog post that explains the history of the bulb, the average life of each type of lightbulb, some Amazon affiliated links, before it gets to what I need. I often have to tag on "reddit" just to cut down on the noise and get to the answer.
In the syllabus [1] they state that you need to be able to obtain above a grade C on "Problem Set 0" [2] before you take this course.

In my experience teaching 1st year undergrad algorithms, I'd be surprised if the average 1st year student that has just passed an "Introduction to algorithms" course would even be able to solve Problem Set 0.

However I don't think we should delay teaching algorithms until several years into the CS university curriculum. It's too important and central a topic to miss out on. We really need an intro algorithms curriculum that can teach both the basics (as in Problem Set 0) and the algorithms and data structures in the textbook.

>There is of course no threat of homelessness or starvation and those that were unemployed could have "chosen" to remain unemployed rather than taking those gig employment offers.

This is not really the company's fault that the system is set up so people must work. Address that at the societal level. We can start with building enough housing so people can afford rent making $3 per hour.

I have a bunch of keywords watchers for a site I am building (AI). They also hit some gig worker subreddits due to data labeling. There is so much demand for click work it is insane. The sad thing about it all is that, at least for remote work, US workers are competing against cheaper overseas labor.

I could hire some labelers, pay them per label a rate that comes to ~$10 per hour, and get completely undercut by someone who clones the business model but hires people from (e.g.) Brazil. It is a tough situation but the demand for work is there.

I'd be interested in any policies that create good jobs for American workers.

My experience with migrating real-world projects incrementally from C++98 -> C++20 has been that it is typically closer to a day of work to get everything working with the new standard, and that the benefits have been enormous. `if constexpr` is a particularly standout example of something which has turned things which would have been a week's worth from a C++ expert into something doable in an hour by a junior developer.

This is a terrible argument - a secular Pascal’s mugging, conveniently invoked to force everyone and everything into politics; a currently un-ironic “think of the children”!

It is not healthy for our society to demand that 100% of things be politicized - to claim that not politicizing stuff is immoral because some issues are profoundly impactful for some people!

I want the good, the equitable, the right, the just and far, far less of the political! Politics deserves the deference due politics in any particular situation - not that derived from catastrophizing the most extreme outcome and then universalizing it into the quotidian!

| Some might say that you and your friends' ability to sit on the sidelines is a form of privilege not available to everyone.

I say the ability and demand to turn everything into politics and require the same of everyone else is itself a form of privilege!
