One interesting thing several modern languages did was to decide that := is actually two separate tokens where : separates an optional type and = separates an initializer, so that

my_goose : Goose = get_a_goose();

... lets us give my_goose an explicit type, while we can write:

my_goose := get_a_goose();

... and leave the compiler to infer that my_goose is a Goose because that's what get_a_goose() returns and we didn't specify.

The idea here is that we have this flexibility but we didn't burden the language with what feels like an extra feature (like C++ auto) with its own special rules. Given that := starts out as a single token this is in some sense revisionist, but so long as you're trying to learn to program, not studying the history of programming, that's fine.

It reminds me of how eggcorns can become language features. A person incorrectly analyses a word or phrase they've heard, e.g. they think the things which fall off an oak tree must be named "eggcorns" because they look a bit like eggs. They apply this analysis, and, if the results are successful and out-competes existing correct analysis, it can dominate, next thing you know† your spelling correction tool says "Did you mean eggcorn?" when you type acorn.

† In reality these transitions usually take generations

I used to be an avid advocate of this notion, but I've become somewhat disillusioned about the idea of encouraging people to think for themselves. The whole Covid vaccine debacle was the latest example of the frustrating truth that "thinking for yourself" just isn't trivial.

People that advocate for it (like me) just wishfully assume that their listeners, if they just try, will reach the same conclusions they did. But that just isn't true. I've met many people that held (what I consider to be) debunked beliefs which they proclaimed to have reached through "doing their own research". In a way these people are harder to sway than those that "just feel it's true". They are armed with research papers, lecturing experts (self proclaimed perhaps), and logical constructs. They hold their ground in an argument.

And perhaps they are not at fault. The truth can be non-intuitive on several levels, and distilling it from truckloads of data, papers, and experts really isn't easy. Take for example the seemingly simple question of whether or not climate change is man-made or not. It is not at all an easy matter for someone to reach their own conclusion about this. Any argument, how ever sound it may seem, may be wrong in some subtle non-intuitive way that would more digging and learning to figure out.

I've come to realize that in this question (and many others) I can't justify trusting my own judgement and the best heuristic I could come up with is "trusting the expert consensus". Sure it can be wrong, but I hold the belief that it tends to self correct eventually, and in many cases (especially when many people need to form an option) it's the best we can do.

> We collectively changed our mind because younger geologists adopted the continental drift theory.

That's one way to look at it I suppose, but it's not the whole story. Alex du Toit was a big proponent of continental drift, he published "Our wandering continents" in 1937 at the age of 59. Otto Ampferer was 66 when he published "Thoughts on the motion picture of the Atlantic region" in 1941. It just took a lot of time for the theoretical concepts and hard data to come together, and by the time that happened in the lat 50s and early 60s many of the originators and early exponents of the idea had already died long before of old age.

Yes it can take time to change people's minds, sure, but many of the people doing the important work of mind-changing were no spring chickens themselves. The idea that it was all young hippies in the 60s fighting against old fuddy duddies is simplistic, there were plenty of fuddy duddies fighting the good fight, and had been for many decades.

So it seems putin's regime is avoiding nukes, for now, to prefer swarms of rockets/drones destroying ua essential infrastructure everywhere in the country.

I presume the only infrastructure which will be "safe" are nuclear power plants alike, too dangerous to destroy.

But putin's regime will need zillions of those rockets to send ua back in the stone age and super efficient intelligence service to locate all this infrastructure.

Ppl are still dying for... we actually don't know why, even based on putin's official goals (which are supposed to be "done" if I am not mistaken, no more "neo-nazi" bataillon fueling the since-2014 donbass conflict).

Tried psilocybin mushrooms once. It was not a pleasant experience, but for some reason afterwards the need for social validation through alcohol usage completely evaporated. The effects of alcohol became almost boring. I literally started drinking milk at those kind of social gatherings. Very strange.

A couple of years passed since then. I'm now in an environment where alcohol usage is increasingly encouraged, and not drinking makes other people uncomfortable. So what I'm doing now is just buying small amounts of alcohol, usually better quality.. but I still don't feel any internal drive to drink.

So.. perhaps trying out one of these psychedelic substances once could help.. there is also some research suggesting that they have anti-addiction effects.
You are right that those evacuated from Crimea were not Ukrainians.

This is also true for other regions that belong now to Ukraine, where other nationalities, for example Romanians or Poles or Slovaks, were the prior inhabitants, before being deported or killed and replaced with Russian colonists.

However my point was not about the prior inhabitants, but about the current Russian inhabitants, who protest that nobody should do to them much less than their grandfathers did two generations ago to the natives, by robbing them at gun point of everything they possessed.

Unlike other people, like the Germans, who have paid heavy reparations to their victims, and who have presented solemn apologies for the acts of their ancestors, the Russians have never acknowledged any wrong doing.

To whom Crimea should belong administratively is debatable, but Russia does not have any more rights than Ukraine.

For the neighbors of Russia, a Russian-occupied Crimea or any other regions of Ukraine that remain occupied by Russia are a danger, because there is no sign that Russia will ever stop from its policy of territorial expansion that has been carried on successfully for centuries, with only 2 setbacks, when Russia, after WWI and after 1990 has granted the right of auto-determination to its larger parts, and it was very surprised when everybody opted out.

After WWI, Russia has succeeded to reconquer back in a short time some of the defectors, and after WWII it recovered not only all the lost territories but it gained many more others, plus the vassal countries that were nominally independent but in fact were open for pillage in unbalanced economic relationships.

While all the other European countries appear to have abandoned a long time ago the medieval ideas that the best way for prosperity is to use war against the neighbors and occupy their lands, the Russian dictators remain addicted to such methods, so they remain a danger for all the neighbors of Russia.

The coop in my city (I've been a member for over 30 years) does a very good job of bridging your first two descriptions. It is a full service grocery store, but there is an emphasis on local producers. Not all of the produce or meat is local, but much of it is, and the staff always highlights the number of local producers available on the shelves. The coop also has the largest bulk food section in the area (it puts the bulk section at Whole Foods to shame).
That's a problem, because you can't have several standard, the idea behind standard is its uniqueness
I agree. The first point in particular is a very selfish way to look at social interactions. I think most people would be uncomfortable knowing that there could be an unlimited number of invisible participants in a conversation especially if it was in a VR space where you feel much more present than in a chat. It's also not very pleasant to have someone who you didn't know was there to suddenly jump in on a topic unexpectedly. Having your avatar there as a placeholder that others can acknowledge is important for that reason, you aren't surprised when a quiet person chimes in on a conversation since you are aware that they have been listening and could speak at any time. An invisible ghost jumping in on a topic would be jarring to say the least.

As a socially awkward person, I understand their difficulty with being present and not speaking. The only advice I can offer is to learn to be comfortable with that discomfort, not very helpful I know. Most people are accepting of quiet people just hanging out and occasionally contributing, there's no need to hide.

Alternate input is tricky especially when we're talking about a multiplayer experience like Poker Stars VR. If they did allow you to interact solely with button pushes, what would the other participants see? Some default set of animations? A big part of the experience of that game is the social interactions around the table. Turning to speak to the person next to you, playing with all of the props provided in game, telling jokes or stories, etc. It's like a real poker game. The author seems to want a 2d experience instead so my question is why are they even bothering with VR? Why not just buy a headset that is designed as a heads up display and play regular pancake content?

Are the prices higher for a drink in the free tapas bars? I mean, no such thing as a free lunch, but this article shows that a drink is like 5 euros and you get a little meal with that, which seems like a great deal. In Germany I'd have to pay at least 5 euros per 0.5 liters of beer in average locations. Yes, the article is 7 years old and Spain is a little cheaper to live in and we have high inflation but it still seems very inexpensive to me.

What you focus your research on is always a big personal gamble. Be it questioning something that seems evident or walking along beaten paths that still might turn out to be wrong. But as long as you stick to the scientific method you will at least generate a result so that future researchers wont waste their time on the same approach.

In the end evidence hopefully prevails on the societal level. It might just take some time.

Ultimately, pleasures and hardships fade, what remains at the end is what we accomplished and what we regret. That is, the very memories I'm suggesting you use to evaluate your habits.

You had a good time at a party once. Great. Are you really still enjoying that good time? Not likely.

You climbed a mountain another time. You were tired and it was very difficult. Are you still exhausted months later? Not likely. But the accomplishment remains the rest of your life.
Just to let you know: The pirated version works just fine with PlayOnLinux.

I wouldn’t call that solved, but improved. Programmers will have to do extra thinking and work to get those benefits, code reviews may spend hours discussing whether making the switch is worthwhile.

And that’s not one-time work. In the ideal world, if the size of your data grows (or shrinks), you’ll have to revisit those choices.

Also, as a library author, you can’t know what choice to make.

Yes, you’ll always have that problem, but this change would make ‘just use the provided collections’ a much safer choice.

>As far as post-war governance, I suggest the Marshall plan. Japan and Germany are models for how to occupy a country with great results.

They tried something like that in Afghanistan, and it was a complete disaster. ~1945 Japan and Germany were completely different countries from Saudi Arabia or any other country you're proposing an invasion of; attempting to set up a friendly government in those places is likely to be about as successful as Afghanistan was.

No. It's about the choices you make every day, it's about lifestyle. Eat healthy (most of the time), sleep well, rest, exercise, manage stress.. and you should be fine.
If you sold it, it was your idea. That means if the buyer wants to patent it, you need to be cited as the origin. As far as I know, private discussion is not publication (which presumes widespread public dissemination).

> your low tolerance means even that single drink will leave you leaving crummy afterwards.

That's not true. As long as you compensate with a bit of water, and you drink quality spirits rather than shit, one or two drinks are absolutely fine even for the low-volume drinker.

Source: am one.

What makes a real difference is that, if you're super-fit and super-lean, your body will struggle harder to deal with alcohol, so you will have to over-compensate by drinking a lot of extra water (and hence piss more).

I think it's quite normal. Because the common three part for semantic is just a suger of

initVariable()
while checkVariable():

updateVariable()

So the variable is shared by all iterations at first place. And that isn't a issue until we have lambda or something similar that can capture reference of loop variable.

Later languages found it is problematic when use with reference capturing features and changed to something else (one variable per iteration)
