Maybe that's ok since you're likely only going a few km

But it reminds me of vending machines in Japan. If I understand correctly they're set supposed to allow dispensing in the event of an earthquake. Of course Japanese society has less petty theft and vandalism which is why they can have the vending machines in the first place.

It's easier to snark at something than to actually address its content. Witness the vacuous "dunkage" of that quote above. Literally any book with heroes, people of principle, or people who achieve things can be in the second slot. It's just something for people who have nothing to say, to say.

This isn’t sufficient on its own. Reduction of emissions, carbon recapture and carbon sequestration are all needed.
The default state for the consumer is: “it’s a car, it doesn’t require cell

If zipcar put a huge banner prior to checkout saying that you will not be able to access the car if you don’t have cell service, I bet a lot of people would think twice, which is why they don’t, which is what makes it shitty
What the side effects are, and how you can reverse various techniques if they doesn't work as intended seems like good topics for this proposed research to focus on.
Okay thank you that makes more sense. But from an outsider reading the conversation as is, that is not very clear at all.

Do you have any proof that shutting down schools was huge? Everything I have seen says the exact opposite. Little to no benefit with massive decades long consequences.

You said originally you feel that lockdowns worked but again the actual world data does not agree with you. I listed two countries that as examples in my previous comment.

Here is a very comprehensive report on the lockdowns that looks at mortalities as well as economic impacts in the states:

Page 18 shows no correlation between lockdowns and mortality. This is using real world data.

Edit: missing words
How could aerosols ruin the atmosphere?

And how do you calculate the probability of success here? And the probability of success of reducing carbon emissions?

Telling someone that you downvoted their comment is extremely toxic. Either downvote without replying, or reply without mentioning downvoting.
Telling nations to abstain from carbon emissions is like asking teenagers to be celibate.

The natural way to remove carbon is weathering rocks over millions of years, and it's not hard to accelerate that process so it only takes decades: https://vesta.earth

Why wouldn't that be the best strategy? Just like contraception is the best strategy for teenagers, I think natural methods of geoengineering are the best strategy for climate change. (I'm not saying aerosols are natural, that one is a horrible idea)

You're right, but that means that sequence comprehension also leaks the variable, so it's even worse than I thought.

Side note: I think that commenters above didn't quite understand what I meant by "leaking", because there's more than one scope boundary here. Roughly speaking, any comprehension or loop can be desugared into something that looks like a C-style for-loop:

/* scope 1 */
for (/* scope 2 */) {
/* scope 3 */
}

Scope 1 is outside relative to the loop. Scope 2 is specific to the loop but shared by all its iterations. Scope 3 is specific to one loop iteration. The "leaking" I referred to above is from scope 3 to scope 2. I think other commenters took it to mean leaking from scope 2 to scope 1 - i.e. the ability to use the variable outside of the comprehension; that is, indeed, something that changed between Python 2 and 3.

There is a big difference between wanting service providers with credentials and laws written by lobbyists that require specific credentials offered by a monopoly.

You're basically saying the average developer is grossly incompetent. Which I don't necessarily object to, but it's important to be aware that this is what you are saying, even though you are not using the exact phrase "grossly incompetent".

If the average developer is so incompetent maybe they should undergo further training before being allowed to touch production systems? I suppose this is what code reviews are for, but I don't see how it helps when incompetent developers review each other's code.

Portal 1 was definitely not invented outside of Valve - students had built a game with some similar mechanics. Portal was funded and developed at Valve afaik.

These people already have more money than they could ever spend in their lifetimes. We could never pay them enough because the problem with them is that they have no concept of "enough". Their greed is insatiable and they don't care who or how many get hurt as long as they get even a little more wealth and power.

Leaving aside the discussion about privilege, if you go back far enough, any commonly used term/idea will be entirely unused. For any term, there's someone who used it first, and for some of those terms we can identify who that person was, and some of those people are responsible for popularizing the term in question.

It's one thing to say that we don't know who coined the term "privilege" in the context being discussed, but to dismiss the possibility of knowing who coined any common term is just clearly false.
If it's not going to happen without major advances in technology, does it make sense for companies to be dumping billions of dollars into it today?

Good question. But it's up to those companies to decide. It's not my money, so I'm not going to try to tell them what to do.

Does it make since to continue endangering the public by beta testing these failed systems on our streets?

That's also a good question. At the very least, it needs to be made abundantly clear to anyone testing a self-driving car that somebody at the company will be held personally liable, up to and including possibly serving jail time, with regards to any damage / deaths caused by accidents.
I know LwIP is pretty good around that sort of thing. It was just a little bit of a shock to see a lot of usage of malloc throughout ESP-IDF. But then it does have to handle Wi-fi, Bluetooth and more. It runs well though! And it does somewhat amortise its use of malloc to setup functions where possible.

One of the challenges I’ve had in the firmware work we’ve been doing, is the sheer amount of network-received runtime configuration. Makes statically allocating everything difficult. Not impossible of course, but our memory usage ends up sky high because we end up allocating buffers for the 70% of code that isn’t even going to be executed! So using “dynamic” allocation once when the runtime config determines this functionality is actually needed has worked reasonably well

Though it really reminds me of avoiding the GC in garbage collected languages, which is a little amusing to think about
Congrats! Been using the insider builds, so I've used the overhauled UI for quite a while. What I've been waiting for is the mobile app, and as expected you folks delivered. Hands down the best note-taking experience in mobile platforms, and it's not even close.

I'm still using Logseq as my PKMS app by default, but seeing how active you've been with pushing genuinely new (and useful) changes, I might just reconsider this.
How about everyone in the world consume as less per capita as some of the poorest countries on the planet instead of poisoning everyone?

Any negative consequences, if any, will automatically put more burden on the poorer countries that don’t have the resources to fix things when they go wrong. All options should not be considered imho.
I want to look at it to understand. But my guess is that this happens at runtime, doesn't it. If this happens at runtime, this means runtime evaluates the macro, lisp function is generated, generated lisp function is compiled and used.
Instantly as well - barely enough time to read the comment.

You'll never get a rational one, because it simply doesn't exist.

This is horrific, the level of hubris it takes to not only do this kind of tinkering, but to come out and say it proudly like it's a reasonable inevitable solution is honestly unfathomably evil.

Frankly I am legitimately scared at what comes next -- it was so clearly being done in secret but on a relatively large scale before if you followed the ScIeNcE via whitepapers, patents, etc...

How bad is it going to be now? And what weird doomsday doctrine are those in charge following behind the scenes to come to the conclusion this is reasonable, and to be ready to come out of the shadows like this? Dark days ahead.
The problem is even if we stop polluting it on any reasonably possible timeline, we'll still see continued heating of the planet (and even if we didn't, it's already hot enough to be seriously affecting natural disasters like hurricane Ian).

We need short term solutions like this, medium term solutions like reducing carbon emissions and longer term solutions like carbon capture. It's a complicated problem and the world is a complicated place.
If the NFA is repealed, hopefully that will finally galvanize popular support to repeal the second amendment.
This is pretty impressive if it's true. Of course we don't know if it's true or even if it is true, whether or not all the wind-downs were above board.

At this point it feels as though Tether is essentially "unauditable", even if they somehow managed to have actual 1:1 cash reserves there'd still be a huge question mark as to how they got to that point (and whether or not it can be sustained).

For the record, I am not suggesting that USDT should be 1:1 cash backed. There's plenty of good reasons to use other instruments, like government bonds and the like.

I have 5+ years of experience and was looking for a Senior Go developer position.

I started sending out my CV on the second week of September. I got more interviews that I could manage. The companies getting more picky and I got fewer offers than expected, but getting interviews wasn't a problem.

As I see here are only a few junior or medior position, but companies are still hiring for senior and above.
Our experience is that after 2+ years of working mostly remotely, that very few people use web cams in meetings, and then only for the initial introduction. Apart from giving ammunition to laugh at somebodies 5 day beard, it is completely unnecessary.

We do however spend many hours a day in audio chat, sharing screens discussing technical issues and possible solutions.

This is a vast contrast to how we used to collaborate before Covid, where we'd have long in person meetings, where most of the people in the room drifted off watching the birds out the window whilst a couple of egos would speak to what ever they through was important.

There seems to be an belief, especially in the VR world, that body language, even eye movement is what you have meetings for. This may be important in some domains, maybe sales, but for technical meetings, I don't need to see your eyes, I need to see your ideas... Lets face it, it's a meeting, not a date.

I don't get this article. Go to a fancy restaurant, order the least fancy thing, complain that it is expensive?

Fancy restaurants exist in all big cities.
This experience would be a problem if it was a shitty burger in a shitty corner bar and still cost $30. Fancy food for fancy people at fancy prices is not inherently a problem.
I wish there were like a “we get it. You won at scarce resource creation/allocation. Here’s your $Buckillion award and you never have to worry about bills again.” Maybe we give them a national audience ala a state of the union address once in five years and a bill with a straight up/down.

You seem unaware of the huge tax you pay for continued access to petroleum. To a large degree, most of military expense is to maintain that access.

Energy from renewables will be vastly cheaper than humanity has ever experienced since the forests were wiped out, and will fuel a golden age. Provided, of course, that civilization does not collapse first, as you seem to say you would prefer.

No one was. Even you said

which is not the same thing.

No one is pronounced innocent in the US justice system, so by definition yes, anyone who is found not guilty "may still be guilty".

> Gun ownership is baked into our founding documentation (The Constitution); as such, it's part of the very premise of our governmental foundation.

The irony here is that this court strikes down a clause of the Gun Control Act 1968 on the grounds that it is "not consistent with the United States' 'historical tradition of firearm regulation'" – and yet the very Supreme Court precedents it is applying in doing so are themselves not consistent with that tradition.

The 2nd Amendment was only intended to be a limit on federal gun laws; its authors didn't intend it to apply to the states, and nobody at the time understood it as doing so. Whether and to what extent state and local governments could regulate gun ownership was seen as a matter for state constitutions and state courts, not something the federal government (in any of its three branches) should get involved in.

Then the 14th Amendment was enacted, to try to prevent the defeated Confederate states from oppressing the newly freed slaves. Nobody at the time thought it had any relevance to non-discriminatory gun laws. I think its framers would have supported its use to overturn racially discriminatory state or local gun laws, but they would have seen racially neutral gun regulation as outside its intended scope.

The idea that non-discriminatory state and local (as opposed to federal) gun laws can violate the combination of the 2nd and 14th Amendments was introduced by the Supreme Court in 2010 (McDonald v Chicago). There is no evidence that the original authors of either Amendment would have foresaw or expected that outcome, and so was a major deviation from the "the United States' 'historical tradition of firearm regulation'".

The Gun Control Act 1968 is of course a federal law, so overturning it is not prima facie inconsistent with the original meaning of the 2nd Amendment. However, the logic of the decision (and the precedents it is based on) apply equally to equivalent state and local gun laws and regulations, which is a radical deviation from the original intentions behind the 2nd and 14th Amendments.

In a lot of Lisp code, people don't bother to use that feature, and instead do a lot of (undocumented (sets of ((lists) that ) have some unknown) undefined structure)

I never wrote Lisp code professionally, mostly just as a hobby for myself. It was all just dirty cons/cdr/car code.

Given how generic lisp-lists are, they're really free form and could be anything. They are probably "too generic" for a lot of applications, much like XML or JSON is overkill.

There's something to be said about writing configuration as .ini files by Python's ConfigParser, for example. Or other simpler files (even .csv files) and working off of that.

But Lisp gives you that "power" to have a true hierarchy / language built into your lists. With that power, comes great confusion 3 months later when you forget the structure.

-------

A good, professional programmer probably should:

1. Start with the Lisp-lists as a prototype

2. Simplify down to a simpler structure, like vector, or dictionary/HashMap, if possible.

Of which some are lucky and move upwards, driving demand for devs. I like to call such companies and tools facilitators.

"This computer model says the Earth might get 1 degree warmer over the next 100 years, let's blot out the sun!"

It's probably an unpopular opinion here, but these people sound like reckless lunatics to me. The fact is we don't have anywhere near enough of a mature climate science to allow any kind of responsible engineering. It's a good goal, and I applaud research in that direction. But I deplore the possibility of some idiot billionaires getting the numbers wrong by a few percent, creating a positive feedback loop, and causing a glaciation event. Lest we forget, we are still in the Quaternary Ice Age! This is just an interglacial period. All of the major geological factors to make a snowball Earth possible still obtain! And I guarantee you that humanity will better adapt to a hothouse than a snowball.

I know it's taboo to mention votes, but please, please, if you're thinking about downvoting me because I'm wrong, please at least offer the consolation of explaining why glaciation is nothing to worry about.
