That actually shows two gotos (as you've written it) because the if is itself a goto, under the hood. The way to get it down to one is this pseudo-code:

jump test
loop:
stuff
test:
test X
jump if (not-equal/greater-than/less-than/etc) loop
other stuff

It still uses two jump or branch instructions, but the loop body only uses one. It falls through if the test fails. In the case of a do/while it's the same except you remove the initial jump.
It depends if you are willing to lie about it. I won't lie.

But the huge, unavoidable disruption that comes from a positive test result certainly doesn't encourage frequent at-home testing. I think at this point most daycare parents test when the school tells them to, and don't test otherwise.

"These people" have brought us a mass convergence of social panics (some recent, others remixed):

- Anti-government zealotry (a la sovereign citizens, accelerationists, Ruby Ridge, Timothy McVeigh, Turner Diaries readers, Amon Bundy militia, 3 Percenters, Boogaloo Boys, neo-nazis)
- traditional family advocates / anti LGBTQ+
- sexual slavery/trafficking
- anti police-violence (both the pro-police and anti-police movements)
- local community book burning
- "abortion is genocide"
- "white genocide"
- 2020 election fraud
- anti "Jews control the [elite organization]" (millennias old)
- Pizzagate / adrenachrome / HollyWeird / "cabal of [elite people] who [some secret sex or slavery acts]" / QAnon
- Obama birtherism
- numerous things with the Clintons including "the Clinton Kill Count", "HER EMAILS!!!", and Benghazi
- numerous things with Donald Trump (too many to name)
- George Soros (theories about uses of dark money)
- The Koch brothers (theories about uses of dark money)

That's a weird question. Where in the US would we see that if we're not getting any news from Russia?

On another note, that's one for the warhawks and their pro-war lobby. Aid doesn't mean bandages and medicine, you know.

> unwarrented flip-flops every episode of people being loyal, betraying, hating someone then in love with them etc.

This is what I hate about most TV series these days, the writers value conflict over character. This basically prevents any actual character development, or even any character identity at all, as the character changes from episode to episode. This is what makes a series forgettable.

Roddenberry forbade intra crew conflict as a plot device, so Star Trek has identifiable character that people still remember. BSGs characters are already forgotten, because they lacked identity.
For what it's worth, I learnt to play basketball in Eastern Europe about 25 years ago, and there was a much bigger emphasis on 3 pointers back then. Pretty much everyone was able to make 3 point shots regardless of their main position.

When I came to the US, I was surprised that people were amazed that "the big guy can shoot 3s". I played center, but it was normal for me to work on free throws, 3 point shots, and also take the shots in the game. I couldn't really understand why players like Shaq were not able to make even free throws, nevermind 3 point shots.

I'm not saying we were all shooting as well as Curry, just that I feel like the emphasis on 3 point shots came very late to the US. It took someone like Curry for people to really internalize just how hard it is to catch up with an offense that consistently gets 3 points when they attack the basket and that yes, it's OK for all your players on the team to be good at shooting the ball.
Yeah, I don't think it is social expectation... in fact, some common game clock management choices (like taking a knee) are frowned on much more in video games than real life.

That is going to need a source. All I see in these AI data gathering exercises is that if the industry isn’t a well established litigious one, the companies will happily suck in all the data, license be damned. Code and art both fall under this. But when it comes to music which is heavily litigated, suddenly the only content a company like stable AI will use is open and voluntary because in that case they worry about “overfitting and legal issues”. (Refer Harmon ai)

Hypocrisy dressing up as progress in the machine learning field has been one of the most embarrassing scenes in software engineering recently. The genie may be out of the bottle but the fact is that a bunch of software engineers with a “move fast ethics later” attitude are the ones who let it out and they shouldn’t get to shrug it off for free.

How is it exponential time? It should be linear as it loops through at most `n` times. My guess is that it would also be optimized for tail recursion so it wouldn't clobber the call stack either.

That said - you're right that it's still slower than constant time
>By this reckoning a murder causes a person to die BEFORE the time that God appointed for them to die.

It prevents it being guessed. The memorable part protects against someone finding the written down/recorded random portion and using it since they don't have the remembered part, but the remembered part on it's own is somewhat vulnerable to guess work
You have definitely missed the entire point. Of course there are some advantages of just putting it all in the browser for rendering current standard web sites.
The point is to rethink the browser so it isn't just a single tech company setting what the web is with Chromium. A WebGPU+WebAssembly engine would be simple enough for there to be many.

just curious, why do you think that is? I spent several years working on project sharing and data visualization features for an architectural CAD program. you could show/hide/recolor all your objects on the fly to emphasize key details, sketch on top of viewports, play around with a clip cube in 3D (personally fixed a lot of bugs with that one...), and sync all your changes back to the main project file to share with colleagues. some of these features were a bit rough around the edges, admittedly, but I always got the impression they were pretty popular with our customers. I'm a little stunned to hear that you and your colleagues just want to print out a couple viewports and look at them on a piece of paper.
> Levine and USA Today (I mistakenly said WaPo before) are using a definition of women that includes trans women. The Babylon Bee disagree with them. There are a few different ways the BB could react.

> The most tolerant way would be to not say anything because Levine and USA Today's definitions don't impact them.

> A less tolerant way would be to denote their disagreement through a related article that doesn't directly address Levine or USA Today. They could have had a cat winning at the Westminster Dog Show or whatever. That gets their point across without confrontation.

> They chose an even less tolerant response. They directly mocked Levine and USA Today with derision

That's simply not what tolerating the words and opinions of others means though. It doesn't mean that you can't disagree, you can't voice your disagreement, or you can't mock or satirize.

> and indirectly made Levine a target for future harassment. That behavior isn't tolerant.

Satirizing that USA Today award is not intolerant of their speech, because it is not calling for or taking action against an individual or group and their right or ability to speak.

And everybody's opinions and disagreements and speech can have good and bad intended and unintended consequences. People who believe sex and gender are the same and trans is a mental illness can be made subject to harassment by people who argue against them or mock them in public too. You can argue that's not that's a good thing and whether or not tolerance of speech and opinions promotes that (more than intolerance would), but you can't just call it intolerance just because you don't like it.
In the dotcom era I rode a Xootr kick scooter all over San Francisco. It was excellent, even on minor uphills. A lot lighter than an electric for carrying on BART. It was pretty great in that environment. (I still have it, but the place I live now is more conducive to bicycling.)

It's too tempting to optimize for what you can measure, not what's actually valuable (for your users). "User engagement" measured in "time spent on page" may just mean the page is necessary/useful enough that the users suffer through a miserable layout.

Correct. There are certain dogmatic truths (baptism is required for the beatific vision, God is good, God is merciful, etc) but beyond that there’s just speculation. Other suggestions have included baptism by blood and God breaking his rules (which only he is allowed to do, no fair!). Nobody actually knows.

We can’t know what heaven is like at all so it’s likely that whatever we think of as heaven is actually much more applicable to some kind of hell.

The thing to remember is the enriched reactor grade Uranium is only about 140ppm in low grade ore. In a mine like Husab you're digging up and processing 7 tonnes or so for that 1kg of fuel (and 7kg of DU). Iron and Al ore concentration is measured in 2 digit percent -- often over 50%. Coal ore is coal (with half water and ash in the real dirty stuff). As such the scale of Uranium mining is not really less, there's just less end product.

ISL is less energy intensive but limited in scope and remediation has never been as successful as claimed. The millions of tonnes of sulfuric acid involved are also a problem.

The most destructive items on your list are copper and chromium. The former is used in about the same quantities in renewables (offshore wind presently uses several times more, other methods can use less and an increasing share of the marketis using Al for cabling and coils) and the latter is used more in nuclear.

A combined mine like olympic dam can create several times more net electricity and net power in the form of PV from copper and silver than the Uranium that comes out (and that's even after taking most of the silver for control rods).

That said, the subject here is high burnup and breeder reactors. In principle they actually live up to this dream (especially if the beryllium can be eliminated). It would be foolish to pin all our hopes on something that hasn't been put into practise though. In general they're in the same category as quad junction 50% efficient perovskites, cheap TEG based 24hr CSP, or NaS batteries with the same energy density as chemical fuels -- worth pursuing but not available soon.

This who debate boils down to drawing hard lines on top of gradients. I find it uncomplicated to argue that a blastula is not a human (yet) and the potential for life is not a useful moral metric either (otherwise it'd be immoral not to maximize fertilization and child output).

Everything in between a few cells and a baby is a gradient between next to nothing and complete humanness, and somehow we need to agree where lines should be drawn to binarize this gray area for moral and legal decision making. It's clearly an impossible task, so the fight will persist.

I think it’s a cyclic pendulum sort of thing. We crave the networking/herding effect. So we promote a bandwagon, and try to get everyone on the same. We get there and realize we’ve turned a trip to Starbucks into an Artemis launch. Frustrated that we’ve rediscovered you can’t please all the people all of the time, we race back to individual tooling, each doing one task and one task well, factionalized and repeated in hundreds of tribes. It’s lonely at this extreme and we crave the networking/herding… coda.

I like Vivaldi and was seriously considering a switch away from Chrome as I'm a past Opera fan ... but it's still "just another" Chromium-based browser likely to be affected by the upcoming Manifest v3 changes that will limit adblocking browser extensions.

I'm running more and more with Firefox these days and trialing AdGuard Home, Blocky, Technitium in parallel in anticipation of having to recommend solutions to friends and family if the Chrome-o'verse dissolves into a ad strewn zombie landscape post full Mv3 rollout.

I can barely manage to keep nested if's straight... Trying to make sense of that is giving me a headache haha. I'm becoming a proponent of guard clauses, but its still a shift in thinking as it is. (also, first post here.)
Back in grad school, one of the analysis programs I used dated back to the mid 70s. The original paper gave a performance metric for a test program, which I compared to the runtime on a Chromebook running Linux. I was curious how closely that scaled with Moore's Law, and computed "initial_release + (1.5 years)*log2(initial_runtime/current_runtime)". That is, assuming that the change in program speed has increased due to hardware improvements, and those hardware improvements follow Dennard scaling, what year is it?

This (admittedly very rough) measurement ended up giving 2003. It was wrong by over a decade from the actual date, but correctly gave the date at which clock frequencies stopped improving.
This is a BS political speech and it is very politically motivated. When you can't fix the economy (get GDP up), just claim the GDP doesn't matter. My country's president just claimed we should focus on National Happiness Product. Of course, when all your economical policies fail, economy is just numbers.

And no, having an accident doesn't increase GDP. If the passengers dies, that will remove their GDP from society. Riots are bad for business. The pandemic brought the GDP down even though Pfizer & Friends made record money.

GDP is the best measure of the size of an economy. Nominal GDP is the best measure of the power of an economy in its standing in the world, comparing to its at parity GDP.
I miss those days. The books weren't perfect but I feel like enough quality was put into a lot of them because it was hard to errata a print run. Of course there is a lot more information out there for free nowadays but it's harder to sift through. I think the nicer thing is that eventually you'll find content that speaks to you and the way you learn.
No, but anecdotally the others are probably a lot faster. And you can do even better than that with zero-copy serializations.

But protobuf has very wide support and is decent enough in js, at least server-to-server. Having a schema is very valuable, and there are substantial size wins over JSON, even with gzip.
"No, but it does qualify for" - please check the statement my comment was responding to. The "1 step forward, 3 steps back" way the automation sector does R&D is not moving towards reality, is moving towards confusing the public to justify their pitch to eventual investors.
"That's okay." - Maybe for you, but not for investors and for the market.
"Why?" - It's unsustainable, requiring resources (provided at this point by naïve investors) that commercialization can't provide. Just look at the over $100 billion wasted on this hallucination with zero actual returns. Investors expect palpable returns, not promises and delays.
i don’t think anyone doubts that certain jobs can be automated away, but what concerns me is how many people point at “lowly cashiers” and gloat “look at how stupidly greedy you’re being by asking for a livable wage you lowly cashier.”

the reality is, companies absolutely will save significantly _more_ money by automating office jobs that cost significantly more than a cashier.

i’m not a luddite. i live, breathe, play in and firmly believe technology has _potential_ to liberate us, but anyone who celebrates that job automation will harm “the poors” but fails to see that obviously companies will automate their expensive mid/high tier employees asap is allowing their class snobbishness to blind them.

everyone in tech is familiar with the joke, “don’t screw with me or i’ll write a bash script that can replace you.”

There are some interesting technologies in the pipeline for truly long-term data storage. Synthetic diamond is one option (light-sensitive, so perhaps susceptible to cosmic-ray degradation over time):

https://theconversation.com/turning-diamonds-defects-into-lo...

Another is microetching, i.e. ion-beam insertion of foreign atoms into crystalline materials, such as diamond or nickel, although the data density is lower than the above approach, it seems a lot less sensitive (i.e. light should have less effect):

That analogy is so bad I honestly wonder if _you're_ commenting in bad faith:

1. RIPE has basis in Ukrainian law: they supply all the IPs the Ukrainian ISPs use too.

2. You're acting like RIPE moved into Crimea after the annexation, while in reality they were operating there prior to it.

3. RIPE does not (to the best of my knowledge) have any official presence in either Ukraine or Crimea.

A better analogy would be something along the lines of "A business had customers in both the north and south US. Then, the US Civil war happened and the Union made it illegal to do business with the Confederacy. The business continued to have customers in the Union and Confederacy, in violation of US law."
The incentive is to sell the developed property for a profit. The state would be responsible for determining what the reasonable occupancy rates are on properties for sale or under development. A paid occupier (perhaps a real-estate agent) can be placed onsite for the reasonable amount of time in order to avoid any default occupancy fees by the state.
