No, authoritarianism has lead to mass famine and death. Marxism is just a way to operate an economy. If you implement changes to an economy by force, you’re probably going to hurt people. But we can still make voluntary changes to our world based on things we think are a good idea. Like advocating for and participating in worker cooperatives.

And being a purely voluntary concept I’m suggesting, you don’t really need “a country” to do this. You could have just some groups within a country do this and they would see some benefits.

In fairness, one of the nicest things about early JS was the flexibility it offered. It was never meant to be a language for building large libraries and huge applications. Coming from strongly typed languages it was sort of liberating, at a certain point. Now... well, arguably it's okay that it's so loose because it's allowed things like TypeScript to spring up, but you can still just override Array if you feel like it. (Until one day you can't, hah).
I bought a motorcycle.

It's almost impossible to stay sober with all the social pressure. In our culture, every event has to have alcohol in it. Every occasion is a drinking occasion. Which is fine, except that I already drank my share for life and now just prefer enjoying life in other ways. So now I show up in full gear, put my helmet on display and have a nice evening without any nudging and questioning.

Great question. We are aware of Schemathesis

I believe the main difference is that our solution is very configurable, unopinionated and no-code. Schemathesis doesn't offer you an easy way to configure tests, relies on OpenAPI instead and for anything more complicated requires you to use Python

Maybe you could add something else?
Ahah! We were both looking in the wrong place, as we both only found the declarations, not the definition. With your pointer, I was able to find it though: https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/libplatform/blob/...

So perhaps I am wrong. I was always under the impression that you couldn't count on Darwin to be representative of how iOS/OSX work anymore, but maybe I'm wrong.
Talk about memories! In 1986 when I started calling BBSs with my 300 baud modem on my Atari 800 even local phone calls were somewhat expensive. It was a dark day indeed my parents got the first $250 phone bill (which was a lot back then).
Firstly, you mustn't ever hate yourself when you feel you've failed. Alcohol is a crazy powerful mind altering drug. Be kind to yourself. It's seriously hard to quit for some people.

It's really positive that you seem to have recognised some patterns and that you have a desire to quit for good. It's also good that you don't seem to be physically dependant on it after your weekend 12 packs.

What worked for me after ~8 years of increasingly deep alcoholism that started with weekend bingeing, ~2 years of trying to get sober, and now 18 months clean was two simple things:

1. Accountability of some sort. For me it was to my mother, but it could be to anyone or anything. Just someone or something you respect or that you hold dear.

2. A simple therapist. My therapist is a general therapist, not a specialised addiction counsellor. I'd tried AA, SMART, and 2 stints in rehab...nothing stuck until I just started talking to a therapist. Just talking, and slowly but surely breaking down my thought processes around life/love/relationships/work etc and I started to truly and fundamentally understand myself better and why I was drinking. Then is was so much easier to not pick up a drink. It's the best £50/week I've ever spent and I still go weekly.

Anyways, every one is different and that's just what worked for me, I wish you the absolute best. You've got this!

There's also the use case of ultra high pressure containers to store whatever gas under extreme pressure which is extremely useful in the short term for aerospace industry and exotic forms of energy storage for renewables (like compressed air) in micro-grids settings
tldr; if you have a good excuse for not drinking - it helps a ton with peer pressure...

I've quit twice.

Once when I was 21 for 4 years; Once when I was 27 going on 12 years.

Both times started for health reasons (UC) and stuck because of superstitious/religious reasons that I have largely grown out of. I stay dry now because of vanity reasons and I'm a homebody - I lift,run, and eat really clean and look better than I ever did in my 20s or early 30s. Also inertia helps a ton.

WRT peer pressure I would tell randos at bars I was allergic and might need an epi pen if I drank and could bullshit a conversation which was kind of fun...I don't advise being dishonest but I was young and it was entertaining when I would go to bars to socialize (a lot more fun saying this than I have UC and I am a little scared this might knock me out of remission).

With friends and family, it'll just take a lot of polite "no...I'm good thanks" before they'll stop pestering you. Just know in advance its coming.

For what its worth the same thing is true with eating healthy. I've been eating healthy for 6 years and because of my GI issues tried some diet to help with symptoms. Before everyone and their mother is shovelling burgers and sweets and cheesy things in front of me, "why don't you eat it? Its good". After I dabbled with that diet no one looks twice at me for eating "weird".
I'm not sure if LGBT rights is an example or a counterexample for this phenomenon. A lot of countries made huge strides in that area in the last 0-3 decades, which wouldn't have happened if nothing about all the old people (which are overwhelmingly in power) changed, especially because over the same period politicians became older (so the age cohort in power stayed roughly the same in lots of places). However, when you do look at polls by age group it seems to me like the changes in old adults are rather modest, while young people overwhelmingly support.
Hey, as long as its the taxpayers money they're wasting who cares, right!

That's what go does under the hood in 95% of cases. If I do:

}

func main() {

}

It does the right thing. It's just that in this case (and in lambdas) they got it wrong.
I recently read a great book on how to change your own behaviors. The title is unceremonious "How to Change", but the book is well written, backed by research, and I found it inspiring. There may be some insights or tips in there that will help you on your journey.
Your comment is certainly true, but I think quite misleading to anybody who might not know the history here. The group you're referencing at the Crimean Tatars, a Turkic ethnic group, that were exiled under Stalin - with no relation to Ukraine or Ukrainians.

Today more Tatars live in Crimea than before the exile. Well, at least in modern history, if we go back to times of the Ottoman Empire, things get much more complex. And Russia remains the home of the majority of Tatars today, where they remain a large ethnic minority.

It's an important issue and certainly ironic, but not a direct factor in the current conflict.
This. After taking Naltrexone a few times I lost the urge to drink and stopped drinking completely. Works great, though I had weird side effects whenever I took it (I had the unexplicable need to stretch my muscles, all of them, for a few hours after waking up. Much like what people do when they are bored or sleepy - not sure what's the right word for it.) But yeah, it does work, one just needs to want to stop drinking and the meds do the rest - that simple. I am not sure if the book is needed, get the prescription, take it 1hr before drinking every time you want to drink, and watch your dependence vanish.

It's gotten a whole lot better since the 90's, but still a long way to go.
I was a pretty average (by Danish standards) consumer of alcohol (for my age) from ages 14 to 31. I'm 36 now, so I've not consumed any alcoholic beverage at all for 5 years.

Danish drinking culture is a bit on the heavy side, and I enjoyed getting absolutely shitfaced, I generally didn't have blackouts or do anything too silly, but the hangovers started getting really serious.

One day, with "yet again" the worst hangover in my life, I decided the hangovers were not worth it, and that whatever magic I felt in the drunkenness, was ephemeral, it'd never lead me anywhere, it'd never become real, it'd never truly make me feel good.

I stopped drinking the same way I stopped smoking after a 20 pack a day for 8 years. Simply didn't do it again. I didn't throw out all the alcohol in the house, just like I didn't throw out my half-finished pack of cigarettes..

Eventually, visitors drank the rest of my whiskey and beer, and eventually the cigarettes were thrown away eventually, but they were deliberately kept around for a long while first.

I kept them around due to an insight I had from a previously failed _attempt_ at quitting smoking, which was that.. If I had no cigs, my brain would constantly be looking to ways to get me into novel situations where I might act on impulse.. Like, "oh, maybe you should go get your car washed, then you can also refuel" -> "me goes filling up car, goes into store to pay for gas.. bot-mode kicks in and I impulsively buy a pack of cigs..".
I figured that, if my temptations are out of reach, I will accumulate activation energy to obtain said temptation, and when that energy is discharged, and temptation acquired, there's too much momentum to stop mid-way, and I will indulge.

If the temptation is constantly around, no energy is built up, so no momentum, and it makes it very easy to simply look at the can of beer, or half-smoked pack of cigs, and go "yeah, I could reach over and do that, and I'm not going to", constant presence, constant control..

I hate to use the term, but maybe it's a form of mindfullness, being absolutely constantly aware of this thing so you never build up any kind of mental momentum towards it.

It's been so long, and I no longer have any desire for alcohol or tobacco, I enjoy the taste of beer, and I often drink non-alcoholic ones, many of which are great, and perfectly acceptable in social settings as well.

I don't have any trouble saying I don't drink, if pressed on the subject, I explain it as it is, that I've been as drunk as I've ever needed to and that the experience has nothing more to offer me, and that I will guarantee that I can be just as (insert politically correct word of the day) without the assistance of alcohol.
Sometimes people then mention taste rather than intoxication as an argument and I explain that while I really enjoy the taste of red-wine, I also think cola goes well with just about anything.

> If you can't run a successful co-op in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where can you?

In the UK we have two large grocery co-op chains. Waitrose is a worker owned co-op filling the Whole Foods niche while The Co-op is a consumer owned co-op with a mix of smaller grocery stores and medium sized supermarkets. In the US I think REI is the largest retail co-op, though we have at least one small food co-op in SF.

Once they reach a certain size they’re not all that different from regular public companies.

They’re perhaps more common in financial services with credit unions and mutual funds like Vanguard having customer owned structures. The U.K. used to have building societies (equivalent to US credit unions) but almost all turned into banks giving their members shares in the 80s and 90s.
Since it is still a protein based biopolymer, it is going to naturally decompose. Per the article, it may be doped with zinc, which is very not good in excess in water supplies. It'd need to be pretty heavily treated to make it suitable for any application where safety is a concern.

> perhaps the US is a violent society and it is doing a good job at keeping the violent behind bars?

The real question should be *why is the US "a violent society"? I think your post is a good example of what I think the problem in the USA is: the belief that the world is divided up in good guys and bad guys and you just need to lock up all the bad guys. But it's not like that. Violence, including incarceration, brings other violence. Poverty, inequality, ignorance, lack of health support for drug users, all bring violence. The US would definitely have enough money to turn deprived neighbourhoods into less deprived communities, which means less violence. But it doesn't do so for ideological reasons connected to this belief of good vs. bad.

Sorry if I used your comment as an example, I do not mean it as an attack. But do ask yourself, why is the US a violent society and not Switzerland?
PCs went from work tools to distraction devices, consumer VR is a distraction device, same for phones

Nobody in ancient times ever wrote down an objective account of why this or that mythological symbolism was used. We are given or can deduce associations between given mythological figures and various natural phenomena, but not why. As a result identifying reasons is always a contentious issue. Also yes snakes are used n the ways you describe, but there are plenty of origin myths around the world where snakes play no significant role.

Also for example the snake in the garden of eden is playing a completely different role in the myth from the snakes in Australia. For example if the animal in Genesis that subverted Eve was a bird you wouldn't say oh look, the bird in Genesis is playing the same role as the snakes in Australia.

Having said all that sure, snakes do play a prominent role in the myth cycles of many cultures and it's interesting to speculate why. Snakes evoke a visceral reaction in us, which would be easy for people to interpret as an almost magical or supernatural effect.

Cage homes are a thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flophouse#Cage_homes_in_Hong_K...

So are/were cage hotels; further in that page,

> A 1958 survey by Christopher Jencks found that homeless men preferred cage hotels over shelters for reasons of privacy and security

and more at http://historyapolis.com/blog/tag/cage-hotel/ ).

> Cage hotels emerged in Minneapolis in the late 19th century, as a way to house the migrant laborers who came to the city to find work and then to stay while they spent their earnings from the railroads, the farms and the logging camps. By 1895, there were 50 cage hotels in Minneapolis. While these hotels provided a cheap place to stay, the rest of Minneapolis found them increasingly distasteful. The city outlawed new cage hotels in 1918, but they were such an established institution that some of them lasted for four more decades.

The flophouse WP entry points out: "gentrification and higher real-estate value has further eroded the ability of flophouses and inexpensive boarding-style hotels to make a profit"

However, that skips over how (non-poor) people "found them increasingly distasteful", even a hundred years ago.
TBF Rust also intentionally used the semantics Go is migrating to from the start, because:

- experience with the issue in languages with wider scoping e.g. it’s a common issue in JS, as well as Python (though slightly less so)
- Rust’s iterators were originally internal so that was pretty natural

(1) is also why for(let and for(const have different scoping than for(var in JS: `var` has function scoping, `let` and `const` were introduced with block scoping, and for loops they were specifically specced with “inner” (per-iteration) scope.
I'm currently reading American Prison by Shane Bauer and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in this topic.

The author works as a prison guard at a private prison in Louisiana and the book is interlaced with his experiences as a prison guard and the history of prisons in America.
Yes, but we are there already in many applications where we need to pad the core for abrasion and handling. Making the core even more smaller makes no big benefit - unless it is substantially cheaper than the competition.

And to be clear, I believe there are multiple applications for higher tensile strength fibers. I just can't see that many applications where thinner ropes than current technology produces would be a game changer.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falsies
But I feel like there's some deeper story about Rust that I've missed and am out of the loop now.

Well, to me Rust is just a tool that I've discovered, it meet my expectations so I started using it.

Only then I've started noticing comments on reddit or whatever like "bleh, not Rust again" and really don't get why a programming language can be so triggering to people.
I think both points, while reasonable, are wrong.

If memory serves, the rise in incarceration rates can be traced back to the failed war on drugs, which incarcerated many non-violent (often black) offenders. There is also a tough-on-crime stance, in part due to the fact that US sheriffs and judges compete in local elections, leading to aberrations such as mandatory minimum sentencing.

As for health spending, a lot of the spending can be traced to inefficiencies, and predatory pricing by hospitals, drug companies, and medical device manufacturer. The lack of centralized information for insurance and payments (note that I don't blame insurers) also creates huge administrative costs.

Those are both complex topics, so I don't claim to have captured all aspects, and I may have some of the details wrong, but I would say it's a good first approximation.
How about doing the tar first then firing the gzip off as a background job after.

I'd add that "drinking as normal" after Naltrexone means "drink at least one unit of alcohol". I can't imagine wanting to have more than one or two drinks after Naltrexone - the closest thing is the feeling you had when you first tasted alcohol. It tastes bad and is devoid of any 'buzz'.

Right, but deflation has been the largest risk during that era of "printing".

Inflation is only now a risk due to global supply-side problems, and changes in demand characteristics, and the cost of energy.

But even if we say the amount of money creation during the pandemic is a principle cause of inflation today -- isnt that great? In the sense that we survived a global shut down of the economy *only at the price* of 10% inflation for a few years.

People who decry central banks managing the supply of money seem only to have one, bad argument, "intuitively, money is a commodity and printing dilutes its value" -- well money *is not* a commodity.

Money is a ledger of promises whose values is proportionate to future economic activity. There is no "intuition" here. The actions of central banks have not created "monopoly money", since I can still spend mine now on basically what i've always been able to.
Yeah but how many people will discover that functionality themselves vs how much effort will you expend trying to educate the rest of your users? Pagination wins because there's nothing to learn, it's obvious where you are and how to get somewhere else.
Your model needs a definition of what is a "«finding»", destined to become an «accepted fact», and a "«have[-]been» idea", for which «scientific evidence [will] show[] that we were completely wrong». Because they are not easily distinguishable.

Others have recommended Kuhn; I am partial for Imre Lakatos, and recommend the reading of at least the transcripts of his lessons at the London School of Economics.
