If you can stick to one beer without a conga line of 7 more, and all you remember it producing is positive effects, then that is hardly problem drinking if you ask me.

I'm not your mom. I'm only offering a framework for making better judgements. If that framework tells you just one beer is beneficial, then cheers.

The check for capitalism should be democracy (through regulation).

If money controls policy, then capitalism is working better than democracy. To balance it you either weaken capitalism or strengthen democracy. I think the latter is a better solution.
Workhouses used to be a thing until the mid 19 hundreds.

Apart from the obvious human rights issues it did not work very well.

Because the homeless are usually homeless for a reason and that does not go away if you put them in a prison and force them to do some mindless menial task.

I was a big user of dual boot and VFIO, but thanks to the advent of Proton and the recent Wine improvements (DXVK, ...) I've found myself rebooting into Windows for gaming less and less over the course of the last few years. Sure, not everything works, but basically everything single player does with just a few hiccups.
Folding the sweater so that the bottom will be close to the neck makes it easy to put the head through the neck. I do the same, although I fold it from the bottom hole, not the neck hole.
Crimea has become almost exclusively Russian less than one hundred years ago.

Like in many other regions of the Soviet Union, that was done by force, i.e. by deporting or murdering the native inhabitants.

After bringing Russian colonists in all those regions, the Soviet Union frequently did not need to spend any money for them, because the Russian colonists have been installed directly in the houses vacated by their former owners, who were forced to leave almost all their belongings behind.

So when now the Russians from such territories recently colonized by the Soviet Union complain that the natives do not love them, or that they are discriminated, or that some country wants to maintain control over the colonized territory, while they want to unite with the Empire which gave them the land and houses stolen from others, there is no wonder that such Russian desires are hard to accept for the neighbors of Russia.
Something practical that helped me – I'm taking a year off drinking, and am 328 days through – was getting my friends and family to take bets heavily skewed against me. If I don't drink for a year, for instance, my friend is giving me $50; if I fail, I am giving her $150.

When I've really wanted a drink, I have to ask myself: is this drink worth ~$3,000? It never is.

I've also been doing lots of gym workouts and going for runs. Seeing my progress after a few months of sobriety has been extremely helpful. I didn't realise I could be athletic – and it was always _much_ harder with a hangover.

Finally, there are now lots of decent alcohol-free drinks available that make sobriety less boring. Athletic Brewery and Lucky Saint are particularly good facsimiles. And a tonic water with a splash of cocktail bitters is delicious!

Is the metaverse going to suck? A conversation with Matthew Ball
"lay people": It looks a lot like you're printing money and handing it out to your wealthy buddies.

"experts": This matter is too complex and jargon-filled for you to take part in the debate.

"lay people": Explain again why we have an institution that alternates between handouts to asset owners and crashing the economy? I think prices going up exponentially with time might be bad for my welfare!

"experts": Those crazy conspiracy theorists! At it again. They can't even using the word inflation the way we defined it.

...

There are complex things involved here, but a lot of it is pretty obviously bankers being confused at the idea that there are options other than taxpayers backstopping their obviously bad gambles.

It looks like this round it might turn out pension fund style entities are the ones backing the whole show, I have my popcorn at hand if so and my pitchfork if it happens to be me. I don't want to pay for stuff that I never supported to start with. I don't want my taxes spent on foreign military expeditions either, I think that is actually bad for the economy.

Spaniard here.

Social drinking is very much a thing in Spain. However, most social drinking is light or moderate: walk to a nearby bar, have two beers with the family or with close friends (with free tapas, which accounts for dinner), then walk back home. In rare occasions (at least in my personal experience) things degenerate and one goes out for "just one beer" and gets back home at 5am with a vague recollection of chanting down the street.

My point is: every time that things get past the two-three beers limit in an evening, I am very conscious that I'm deviating from "social drinking" and "this is a meal" and entering "getting drunk" realm.

My personal point of view: having a responsible drink every now and then is a lot easier than cutting out completely. Here's what I do:

* If I want to enjoy a drink, I have a healthy meal with it. Can't open a second bottle of beer if the meal isn't finished, and by that point I'm full and happy.

* If I'm in a social situation where drinking is expected, I have a first drink, then switch to tap water (or sparkling water when plain water just won't do).

* More irresponsible drinking is an option. It's not verboten. However, it's reserved to very special occasions (New Year's Eve, my birthday party, a good time with friends not seen in years, …), and by the fourth beer I'm already sleepy enough to need a rest.

* On a tangent: Real tapas are *free, never paid*, and come with every drink ordered in a bar (including non-alcoholic drinks). I am certain this helps curb alcoholism to a significant degree in my hometown.

This is just me. YMMV.

Having it as a loadable module means it still has to compile, which means it adds a cost to maintenance work.

The cost of obscure functionality can be extremely high. Say your change made this bit stop compiling. Now you might manage to fix the compile error, but how do you know it still works properly? Now you need to figure out how to test it. A formerly simple change can suddenly balloon into seeking out the 5 people in the world who still want this, and making sure they're happy.

Good catch! According to the word prison brief the ranking actually looks like this (incarcerated per 100 000):

El Salvador 605
Rwanda 580
Turkmenistan 576
American Samoa (USA) 538
Cuba 510
United States of America 505

I'd still consider this horrible, but making a point is no reason to use dodgy sources.

Private Prisons make this to increase their "customers", or the funds the receive.
Do you believe that homeless shelters would like to increase homelessness, or are in competition with private prisons for persons ending up in their facility?
It's also worth noting that the rate per 100k people can artificially inflate the numbers for some of those on that list – e.g. the British Virgin Islands has a population of ~30k people and Saint Kitts ~47k, so both some degree of rounding and a large degree of Poissonian-like fluctuation are probably to be expected...
> so is it a decent source (?):

It's just stating that the source said 2M, which combined with the total population yields 629. Nothing wrong with drawing a simple conclusion from two sources. The sources for the prisoner numbers are clearly labeled at the bottom of the page:

The opus software implements several ideas covered by patents. The software is open source, but using it and selling it is potentially encumbered in patents.

In this case, they seem happy enough for people to keep using it under the open source license (I'm not sure the patent pool has any direct power over the software), and seemed more focused on where the money is: people building this into hardware.

I'm with you though. They shouldn't have described it as royalty-free.
Burnout.

I would usually (for years) have a glass or two of wine with dinner. I would tell myself it helped me relax and let go of the day; perhaps that was even the truth.

I was working my main job and 2 side projects. This ended up with me never having downtime. I ended up mentally exhausted.

Exhausted to the point where I felt empty and drained even before I had the drink. The wine just made it feel worse, robbed me of what little recovery I might have been able to glean from the evening.

After 4-5 months (dropped the side gigs) I'm starting to feel rested again, and sometimes have wine with dinner. But I'm also just as happy to give it a miss.

There's a few low level issues to solve, but also theres bunch of patches around that never made it upstream that just need some love to get them up to standard.

At this point Msys2 installs, we can run bash and install software using pacman (- with workabouts for varies janky problems).

Or you've been using the looppointer analyser[1] from the start, heh.

I can see why it's a surprise. Most languages that I know of fall into one of two types: (1) garbage collected and assigning a variable or passing to a function actually passes a reference to the object (certainly true of Python, Java, C#); (2) memory is manually managed and you can take the address of an object (C, C++, Rust).

That history makes it feel like "taking the address" is a really trivial operation - returning a numerical value that the compiler had access to at that point anyway. Here it's adding a reference to the object in some sense, and maybe even changing how it's allocated earlier in its lifetime (on the heap rather than the stack). I don't use Go and I agree that using &x for that operation feels a bit wrong as an outsider.
This seems a bit nonsensical to be because you cannot simply just put a gauge on free speech and say that the higher the gauge is the better.

If you had a country where 95% of individuals had absolute freedom of speech but 5% did not, is that more or less free than a country where 100% of people had near-absolute freedom of speech?

What about when those percentages collide? When the free speech of the haves results in the suppression of the have nots? And historically the freedom in US has been in theory and not in practice what with how it's been used to hunt down perceived communists, minorities and dissidents.

The best possible evidence against the idea that more == better is played out in the various sites that try to have absolute freedom of speech. The end result is that you get a large amount of people that others either do not want to associate with or get chased out by the rabid angry mass. Websites and forums form a sort of microculture that prove you need some guardrails to prevent the bus from going off the edge.
This is the correct way to understand it. Dolby sells a bunch of codecs, and Fraunhofer sells USAC (which is basically Opus with some patented stuff added on).

Their problem is that Opus serves many of those use cases for free. They can't allow that to happen, so scaring potential customers away is good for business.

Australia could've done this also except for vested interests twisting the narrative via doublethink.

Miners and Murdoch media managed to get enough people to vote against the best interests of their country

i.e. for Abbott whose first core promise was to "Axe The Tax" (newly created resource extraction tax) that would have netted massive dollars for national benefit.

The payoff for Murdoch was being granted regional monopolies inserting his copper coax cable as the mandatory tollgate in the barely begun Fibre-to-the-Home network which downgraded the national service to Fibre-to-the-Node/Kerb (and becoming a costly power sucking bandwidth throttle) and Abbot promised it would cost half the original FttP rollout that had just commenced, except adding Murdoch's coax cost 400% more than expected. So now our monthly bills are double the price they would have been if proper FttP rollout was allowed to continue, and in return we got a measly 5% the future capacity.
Good suggestions. A priority is to not in any way diminish the visitor experience, I am therefore very wary of false positives.
To add to the sibling, you could iterate by index to avoid the copy:

for i := range items {
ptr := &items[i]
...
}

In this case of course you also get different semantics. The ptr variable is bound to the address of each of the original Item values in the slice, whereas in the code in your comment, &item is the address of a single heap-allocated Item variable.
I recommend checking out protondb.com, a lot of users have posted workarounds that allowed them to make Origin work.
Seen another way, SerenityOS is almost entirely built on the work of others. Code isn't the hard part in any software project, it's usually the design and architecture that's the hard part (the source of competitive advantage).

The reason Andreas was able to build a community around SerenityOS so fast is the same reason Stallman/Linus were able to do so - everything about it is a direct clone of designs proven out by commercial OS vendors. The core is UNIX (well understood) and the GUI is Windows 2000 (well understood). The code may be fresh, but even there, it is just an ordinary C++ based OS, as conventional as can be. This means working on it is fun for the developers because there are relatively few debates over direction or design, and little risk - you know what you're getting right from the start.

But to claim that such a project is doing it all from scratch zero-rates the design aspect, which seems wrong.
java.util.collections.* isn't very optimized in that regard.

> it's also very boring

I think SO many people overlook this very fact. Most people don't need alcohol to have a good time however it's called a "social lubricant" for a reason.

Sometimes people just need a tiny push to become less self conscious or less introverted. Life is short. You can spend years trying to be healthy and perfect but you need to ask yourself whether you're happy while doing that. If the answer is "Yes" then great. If it's "No" then you should reevaluate your path.
Covid – Oxford/AstraZeneca Nasal Spray Vaccine Poor Trial Results
I used to argue that the rise of popularity of children literature and movies among adults is a sign of an increased infantilization of our society. Star Wars, Harry Potter, super hero movies (and many, many other examples in between).

But over time I changed this view: I don't think it's such a new phenomenon anymore. The mainstream always consisted mostly of simple stories with almost no emotional and philosophical ambiguity. In the 80s we had action movies with "super-heroes" saving the world. In the 90s we had a mix of love stories and blockbusters with a clear cut boundary between good and evil.

Furthermore, cinema attendance in the US has not changed much in decades. It could be argued, perhaps, that movies play a bigger cultural role today, but that could just be the result of recency bias.

My point is... the percentage of people who continue their intellectual and emotional development past adolescence has always been small. It could be that in some ways this phenomenon is more apparent today due to social media. But that doesn't mean that the rate of infantilization among adults has increased.
In my case I am concerned about false positives since visitor experience is a higher priority than blocking all bots. Cloudflare, in my experience, do generate too many false positives when it's too aggressive. A very nice idea though in other cases.
Are we? Most AI models that people know about are proprietary, with some (Google's) so proprietary they won't even provide API access to them.

Yes, Stability AI is doing great stuff with making this tech freely available for now, but it's not clear how sustainable that is in the absence of large VC funds. The players with the bigger more stable budgets are going the proprietary route.
To be entirely honest I don't really like the chances of people finding what they want on the App Store either, since it's not all that hard to accidentally be mislead into downloading the wrong app, or one that is filled with ads or IAP scams. One large difference from Android is that the [iOS] platform will prevent certain easily-abusable behaviors, which is a genuine point. But "oh my app does something else after it was reviewed" is a problem on both platforms.
But for math proofs, we shouldn't assume that people have competence of common basic parts. At least not to truly help them gain a good understanding of the constructive proofs.

To me, the example is rather to tell them get into the car then press the button and turn the wheel like this and you'll reach your destination. But they won't understand the car and I think they should, because at some point the need to, unless they never dig deeper - but then maybe we don't need to teach those theoretical things from the beginning.
The fundamental reason for this is that the 13th amendment provided a convenient escape hatch to allow the continuation of slavery: just charge people with crimes - constitutionality of the law is not relevant, nor is the problem of finding someone guilty. Just send people to prison and suddenly you get free labor.

Here's the solution: require that _all_ revenue from prison labor go to the relevant state or federal government. The money received for labour by a given slave can only be passed on to the victim of a crime, capped to the financial loss caused by the crime in the case of financial crimes. For non-financial crimes with actual victims, all income from the slave for the entire period of incarceration must be provided to the victims. After that disbursement, the state or federal government (as appropriate) can take no more of the money than they are charged for housing the slave. every cent left over after that point must be put aside for when the slave is released, at which point they are provided their net earnings. Similarly prisons do not get to charge any kind of premium or markup on goods in their "stores", they also aren't allowed to charge for basic necessities or hygiene.

There are a few other requirements of course: any person incarcerated during trial ("bail") and subsequently release without jail time shall be compensated for the entire period of their incarceration at the rate of, say, the higher compensation of the prosecutor, judge, chief of police, or governor/president (as appropriate), multiplied by two in addition to any losses such incarceration has caused - again multiplied by two. If the person is found not guilty then rather than scaling by two, it should be scaled by four. If there were any illegal or unconstitutional acts by any agent of the government, then when can multiply that again by two - without preventing or impacting their right to file suit against the relevant agencies and individuals.

To me the first part of this is required to stop criminalizing people as being a trivial path to profit through "legal" slavery.

The latter is more generally needed in the US at least due to the abusive, unconstitutional, and generally illegal behavior of law enforcement. I'd say those fines should come out of the bonus, promotion, and pension funds of the relevant law enforcement agencies. Let's see how long police officers ignore illegal behaviour from the "bad apples" when the resultant lawsuits come out of the "good apple"'s wallets.
>What’s being proposed for Go is instead a breaking change.

It sounds like you only get the breaking change in modules that require above a certain version of Go. So this should not break old code. It's perhaps more analogous to the way that "use strict" in JavaScript 'breaks' parsing of octal constants.
Teeth will be replaced one by one, and their mouth microbiome and habits will not be replaced wholesale.

Yeah, adult teeth erase some of the damage but it's not a fresh start.
I cannot shake the feeling that the bulk of those social benefits could be captured by offering a very compact "cage-home" like storage closet, that can be locked and allows sleeping and storing one's valuables, with access to bathroom and a minimal food preparation areas.

Nobody should be forced to sleep rough, in the cold and dirt, where they are vulnerable to rapes, theft and beatings, such a life turns the kindest soul into an animal. 20 sq. feet of lockable closet with a mattress and shelves to store one's minimal belongings could mean maintaining their humanity and preventing turning them into dangerous criminals.

This would be so cheap to offer that it could be a basic human right, I would certainly pay taxes for it before other stupidities promoted as measures against crime. It's definitely not an incentive to be poor, those who can afford can rent a larger space, it would be a minimal guaranteed, free baseline: no matter how bad you fail in life, you will still get to be treated like a human being.
Blocking real users is not an option - but I can see that this would be a good setup if blocking bots were of the absolute highest priority.
