You need to revisit what "culture" means, and how many people of a given race share a culture.

This was about speech patterns and conversational approaches, which vary greatly across cultures, both socio-economic, national and internal.

You posted a blog post, from a startup. It was not peer-reviewed. It was not readily duplicatable. I'm not sure how to have a conversation with a person's whose standard of evidence for "genders and races are inherently inferior" is "a guy on a website said it."

So if you symlink grep to something else then you have to use `-E` for that, for the 99.999999% use case of the rest of the world egrep being a hardlink to grep would have worked just fine.
Suppose Lisp were forced to abandon cons cells and could only use vectors to represent code. What's the disadvantage?

My retort to you would be "I'm starting to think you like complexity for the sake of it," but debates are much more fun when we're both genuinely interested in the other's perspective.
I do the same thing, but insist on calling all regular weekends "short weekends" and holiday weekends "regular weekends" or just "weekends". My hope is this catches on and we start thinking of 5 day weeks as "long weeks". (given that I stole this from a podcast producer maybe it already is?)
Netflix should have just doubled their prices and 'doubled' the content they offered. Would have smothered all these other streaming services. The horse has bolted now.
I was not referring to you. I was referring to the person who wrote this over the top, inaccurate comment:

Well, there are still people who make (e.g.) soap by hand, even though you can buy 10 bars of Ivory for five bucks at the store.

They do it because it's a challenging and fun hobby.

Thanks. It is not an embellishment, however. There are programs that create incentives for moving to rural or sparsely populated areas.
If you wanted to keep a second "burner" phone. Your own prior generation phone would be substantially less suspicious option compared to buying a second device. iPhone users may well in fact prefer an iPhone either a relatively cheap model if they are of the affluent set or a used model purchased for cash. There is absolutely no reason to believe that this would eliminate all burner phones.

Lets do some speculation to firm up the idea. 55% of US users have an android, 45 an iphone and our overall probability of talking to someone who already has a girlfriend is on the overall pretty high say 50% with half of those having a second phone and 80% of those being cheap androids.

The overall percentages of users using each platform is actual the rest is speculation. I have actually probably WAY overestimated the numbers to prove that the strongest argument is basically still bad.

Take 1000 suitors. 500 are cheating bastards. Your chance are 50/50. You apply your first pass green bubble filter and filter out 550 including many good matches.

Lets look at how this effects the cheater pop. We start with 500. 250 aren't using a burner phone and 113 passed the green bubble test another 50 passed because their burner is an iphone.

Your first pass filter only reduced the cheating bastard percentage from 50% to 36%.

Now if we reduce the cheating bastard percentage to a hopefully more realistic 25% we are talking about it reducing the percentage from 25->18.

The worst thing about this algorithm is that it makes it impossible to bubble up especially good choices who nonetheless fail the green bubble test. It's also one that potential bad choices can trivially game by buying a 4 year old iphone on facebook for $90. It's the worst of all possible worlds.

Relatedly, this exact C# library was started by and a lot of early contributions were from Miquel de Icaza who also started Midnight Commander.
I'll see if I can open source it this weekend. I'm not trying to be the "like and subscribe for updates" but if you want to see it when it's open source I'd suggest following me on Twitter (or Github? Does Github have a follow thing?) cause I won't remember to reply on HN.

Here's a little snippet:

#[effect::declare(
args=(inner_tmp as I)
returns=("/tmp/" + I)
)]
fn tmp_dir(inner_tmp: Path) -> Path {
Path::from("tmp/").join(inner_tmp)
}

So it can reason about that Path's constraints. When that Path gets used by, say, "File::create(path)", it gets turned into a rule and added to an apparmor policy.

Apparmor doesn't support a "hey I'm a process, please sandbox me" so I have to write a privileged daemon that manages that bit.

I also have a way to apply effects to functions you don't own, mutating functions, functions that branch, etc. None of that is implemented yet, just designed.
exactly the same here.

Yeah all over that one. We used these guys to make some slides for us https://www.digitalslides.co.uk/ ... They were loaded into an old Rollei slide projector.
Honestly, I thought the same thing, but I am an extremely happy Framework v2 owner, and I don't miss the extra real estate. I have multiple external monitors for when I am coding at home, and don't mind the small screen when I'm not at my workstation. It's so light and portable too, it's easy to pick up and move with one hand. I adore my Framework laptop. I've got Windows 11 running WSL2 on it, and for me it is the ultimate dev workstation.

I totally understand where you are coming from though, as I really was in the same boat. YMMV, of course.
But many of those coming here are not well educated. Hard working maybe, adventurous certainly, but often economically deprived and undereducated as a result, or so I’ve read.
Practical Common Lisp is a fantastic read, but Common Lisp: A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computation gets my vote as the best book for Common Lisp beginners. Working through it was a joy.
I'm not sure that would have helped - it seems they just got really bad at managing the creation of appealing content.
Not only don't work for them, but surely also don't even use their product/services.
Is that limit on the cost basis of the position or would the conflicted regulator have to sell off some stock if their position exceeded the $15k threshold?

How do you suggest they should double the content they offer? They're already spending ~$17B on content every year.
Google has invested heavily in sound management in their rooms, and issued noise cancelling headphones to everyone awhile back they got to take home. That might explain some things.
First thing is - you linked a slide film, not a print film, slide film always costs more. Also, its less tolerate of under/over exposure than print film is.

Ektar is a more realistic product that the film nerd would be shooting, the processing is less arduous, and much cheaper than processing slide film.

Processing is cheaper for C-41 vs E-6 as well, it'll cost you between 10 and 20 dollars for develop and scan.

I prefer film because I learned how to be a photographer on it, and it looks just how I want it to look out of the box. Beyond that, certain kinds of photography, like long exposure just look better on film.
I think most of the problems come from insufficient semantic power of actual language. Most programming language, even the most advanced don't manage time, don't manage locality, and don't fit in the brain representation human makes of the code.
It's remarkably explained by Blackwell in his paper "Metaphors we Program By: Space, Action and Society in Java"
https://www.ppig.org/papers/2006-ppig-18th-blackwell/

So frameworks try to manage this gap, and the only solution, IMO, is to invent language that integrate more advanced semantics to avoid the necessity of frameworks
Every 1-2 years, I buy a prepaid Netflix card.

> Don't you think the damage occurs in step 2? What did Alex Jones have to do with that?

Damage occurred in both steps 2 & 3, but as you point out, Alex Jones had nothing to do with step 2, so this case is about step 3.
Have to admit to you there's things done on the West coast that folks in the Midwest are first agog and then find extremely hilarious and this is a perfect example.

Now there's a Restoration Hardware in Detroit and friends restoring houses there recommend it highly. But if someone was to put a fancy restaurant inside and featured a $30 burger it would be talked about long after it was gone.

Millers Bar in the nearby Detroit suburb of Dearborn routinely makes top ten lists of the best burger in America and it doesn't cost half that amount. Millers Bar isn't a fancy place, the burgers come on waxed paper and you've got to ask the waiter for a glass with your beer if you want one. I wouldn't be shocked to find out that Bob Segar, Jeff Daniels or Eminem are regulars there but I've never spotted them.
The sad thing is that I've used several mechanical keyboards that very clearly do the wrong thing the article suggests. Debouncing on keydown is super obvious and really painful as a user.

Look on the bright side - we've moved beyond the "I think you mean handegg" meme when people complain about American football vs rest-of-the-world football.

And, to be fair, I am an American and am certainly lame enough to complain when I see something Britishly done that I don't like. For example, when a BBC article is posted about UNICEF, their capitalization rules have them bizarrely spell it "Unicef".
Why? Sounds like a comfy few months that you get paid during and then can get unemployment for a few more while you look for your next position.

The real question OP is asking is the job market going to be bad in a few months.
So you only reuse memory for objects with a checksum? Buffer bleed is scary if exploitable (see heartbleed) and I’m curious how you are protecting against it in practice.
Your gut instinct is correct. That's because, in this example, you are scaling the mass of the object (giving it huge inertia), while keeping its size constant, hence leaving unchanged the magnitude of the forces exerted on it by air friction. As a very rough estimation, the work performed by the forces that lead to a change in angle will be identical. But due to the larger inertia, that work will result in a much smaller change in orientation.

What would your gut tell you if now that same steel football rotating at 1M rpm was also propelled at an initial speed of mach 1.5, yielding 3 or 4 minutes of flight?

Once the investigation starts, absolutely. But forcing a regulator to sell their $10k stake in Apple prior to investigating them creates its own weird incentives.

Yeah I started and sold a web hosting company around that time based on the skills I picked up with all those things. I didn’t host it from my dorm but just commodity servers with a shared hosting app installed. If I remember correctly I had about 5000 users and sold because I didn’t want to hire help when it started to encroach a bit too far into my leisure time.

A few of my customers were running legit and decent sized businesses and they had no idea it was being hosted by a college kid who actually wasn’t even monitoring things all that much. When I encountered a problem I couldn’t figure out from searching the internet, I’d usually just write some script and cron job to restart the service periodically. It also served as my everything (nameservers, support, e-mail, etc) so I remember one time there was a fire in my data center and it went down for about 36 hours. I had no way to communicate with my customers and the site was unavailable. Luckily I think only about 10 customers even noticed.
This still seems very vague, I was looking for concrete examples where quite different arrangements like hazard pointers are for some reason impossible.

No way! Is the code available anywhere? I was messing around with this idea too but didn't have the time. That's fantastic. :)

std::variant is really tricky, mostly because of C++'s type system. I went with std::any. My attempt is here: https://gist.github.com/shawwn/63e0f010479efd95ebffdf2108645...

I'd love to see your code and compare notes! Mine is pretty crummy; I'm not sure there are any worthwhile ideas in it. Did you have much trouble with the std::variant route?
By relegating drugs to a black market filled with fast cash, they incentivize cutting drugs and other antisocial profit-seeking behavior that would be unacceptable in an open market. If heroin users could get measured, packaged, laboratory grade product from Rite Aid, they wouldn't bother playing (car)fentanyl roulette. The reduction of costs from medical, prison, and social services alone are compelling, the elimination of a major financial support for organized crime groups, and the removal of non-job occupational options from people's choice should please employers, as it has potential to depress wages and inflation (there are no solid statistics on the prevalence of drug dealing as a livelihood or side hustle for obvious reasons, but simply observing the number of US adults who admit to recreational use in surveys shows that the number must be substantial).
Exactly. We had to disable some cron jobs which abuse temporary tables (and functions!) to avoid catalog bloat but there were no long lived snapshots on the master during the upgrade.
I'd disagree with that - what's wrong with working for a company that has a good culture, even if you don't have shares?

i.e. shares or not, I'd prefer to work for a company where I felt I was part of it as opposed to one that's just time served.
As someone who supports full legalization for marijuana, I was still shocked by this headline. Cocaine is much more harmful, and much more addictive, than weed. Compared to other addictive substances we allow like nicotine and alcohol, it is significantly easier to ingest in large quantities. Painkillers have a place in medicine but IMO cocaine should remain tightly controlled.

Does this position make me a hypocrite?
I’ve always been a supporter of legal pot.

The problem I’m seeing is that once we legalized pot, there was no enforcement of nuisance crimes related to pot.

So while I think it’s totally fine to use marijuana in a private space, I’d prefer not to be inundated with second-hand pot smoke on every street corner or park or playground.

I think legalizing drugs needs to be paired up with stiffer penalties and enforcement of all of the nuisance crimes that come with it.
The Guardian published this? That’s surprising.

Back in 2020 they were front and center with the “your freedom is not more important than my safety” and other “stop trying to kill my grandma” rhetoric.
Search around for user experiences w/r/t battery life on Framework. My sense from a little over a year ago was that they built a windows machine that runs Linux pretty well but the battery life is abysmal. May be totally fixed by now.

The difference between the two is not chemical but speed of effect [0]. This can lead to crack users being much more likely to become junkies than coke users, and thus more likely to result in bad behaviors like stealing to support a habit or losing a job. To use an imperfect analogy, while chemically the same (for at least some of the following examples), there is a large difference between dabs and a joint, straight vodka and beer/wine, injecting opiates vs opiate pills, and smoking meth vs taking adderal, and the stereotypical types of users for each.

[O] “by snorting through nasal passages, the drug appears in the blood three to five minutes after use, with about 30 to 60 percent of the drug being absorbed into the bloodstream. Maximum physiological effects occur within 40 minutes, and maximum psychotropic effects occur within 20 minutes. Physiological and psychotropic effects fade in 45 to 60 minutes.
By comparison, crack cocaine is not soluble in water and therefore can only be readily smoked. Smoking the drug produces a quicker onset, shorter duration, and more intense effects than snorting powder cocaine.61 Facilitated by the large surface area of the lungs’ air sacs, smoked crack cocaine is absorbed almost immediately into the bloodstream and reaches the brain in only 19 seconds, with 30 to 60 percent of the drug being absorbed into the bloodstream. Maximum physiological effects from smoking crack cocaine are attained within two minutes; maximum psychotropic effects occur within one minute. These effects are experienced for a shorter period of time than for snorted powder cocaine, i.e. between 10 and 20 minutes, but are similar to injected powder cocaine.
In sum, although both powder cocaine and crack cocaine are potentially addictive, administering the drug in a manner that maximizes the effect (e.g., injecting or smoking) increases the risk of addiction. It is this difference in typical methods of administration, not differences in the inherent properties of the two forms of the drugs, that makes crack cocaine more potentially addictive to typical users. Smoking crack cocaine produces quicker onset of, shorter-lasting, and more intense effects than snorting powder cocaine. These factors in turn result in a greater likelihood that the user will administer the drug more frequently to sustain these shorter “highs” and develop an addiction.”

> I go through the story again and again until I feel increasingly satisfied with everything in it. This process tends to happen such that the beginning sections get “done” first, and then that sort of narrows the choices as I near the end, if that makes sense.

> I’ve sometimes compared it to painting a floor (although I’m not sure that’s really a thing). But … you keep going back and touching up the room until the whole thing looks good to you. Then, at the very end, there’s just that area around the door. You give it one last swipe of the brush as you step out.

> In a story, it’s a feeling of being able to get through it with pleasure from start to finish—no hitches, no little bumps of resistance. With experience, I think a person can get better at feeling even the slightest bumps. And weirdly, those are places where the story is really trying to ascend to higher ground.
I think the point to take home here is that LISP has a rich set of functions and building blocks around lists. Indeed, if you have something you want to do to a list, that function probably already exists.

> Half-measures, such as not prosecuting cocaine users, are not enough. If producing the stuff is still illegal, it will be criminals who produce it, and decriminalisation of consumption will probably increase demand and boost their profits.

Never thought about this. Makes sense. Decriminalisation could even reduce political appetite for legalisation if this effect prompts e.g. a gang-driven crime wave.
They are an elastic resource. The amount being created is responsive to demand.

Also, they're substitutable; if people can't afford classic cars, they'll buy art, or wine, or yachts, or Rolexes, or a thousand other luxury goods. Land is only imperfectly substitutable, and it substitution has definite economic costs.
