Amazing Bond plot:

Someone gets ownership of Antarctica, uses Solar panels to raise the temperature of Antarctica and melt all the snow cover, gains control of an entire new continent.

Also Gundam 0083 had the solar system II superweapon, which was just mirrors.

But fundamentally, isn't this increased insolation and on a large scale would accelerate warming?

Man, couldn't we use a bunch of mirrors to locally warm northern climates in Siberia, Antarctica, etc... I wonder if that would be worth it.
Well, 99% of Marxism is "evaluation of the problem." It's highly descriptive, barely prescriptive. The more prescriptive offshoot of Marxism would be Leninism, and I agree that authoritarian command economies are a pretty bad idea.
I dream of a world where people like you are not comfortably making such casual judgements about people like them but there is no justice in this world
that's a good rejoinder; thank you.
Better world books has been my go to lately.
I know! They set it up like that years ago. You’d think they’d at least have moved dev out of it.
Probably that it’s more complicated than that.
Even though memfd was introduced in Linux 3.17 [1] it was a few years until its other uses became apparent enough to gain more widespread adoption. In the Windows world MemDllLoader et. al. was being widely used by malware to reduce forensic fingerprints, but no architecture-portable or lightweight solution existed for Linux.

Nowdays with a combination of ebpf, apparmor, cgroups, kvm, nx-stack and a strict firewall it's possible to almost entirely prevent external code from being run (after performing in-depth profiling of its intended behaviour). Sadly nobody does that, and if anything Linux on the desktop is missing most, if not all, of the process isolation features Android and iOS have.

I wonder why they went with top loader washers. Front loaders use less water cause less damage to clothing.

Maybe it's a reliability thing? Repairability? Cost?
The basic idea is that you use tabs to align "blocks" (ie, multiple lines at the same indent level), and then spaces from there to align line "elements")

Aligning lines in the same block

____var a; // indented with a tab
____var b; // indented with a tab

Aligning elements of a line with the previous line

____var a, // indented with a tab
____----b, // indented with a tab, then aligned using spaces

The idea being that tabs are used where it makes sense that you could change them for preference and not have things look wonky... and then spaces are used in situations where a specific number of characters is necessary.

Another alternative is elastic tabs, where tabs are used for both of those, but are converted to an indentation/alignment number of characters semantically. I like the idea, but I've yet to see a good implementation.

Personally I'm a fan of all spaces, but that's mostly because every company I've worked at has used that.
I have paid for a subscription to the economist for most of my adult life and the authentication scheme for the website is garbage.

> but the past few months have led me to suspect Mr. Musk fundamentally misunderstands the American legal system.

I think you're right, but I also think that he figures he's the richest man in the world and can do pretty much whatever he wants at this point.
Though that'd be a likely outcome, it's also good in itself. If you have rich, well educated people moving to impoverished zip codes/shitty school districts to get their kids a leg up, that improves the tax base for those districts and, more importantly, makes a well-educated constituency active in maintaining accountability for that school district.
On the ground, the situation with CFC refrigerants is probably a lot leakier (pun intended) than you think.

There are a lot of AC systems repaired at stations that don't even own a recovery machine. (This is legal, so long as the system has already leaked out to nothing before starting the repair. I suspect that gets a wink and a nod a fair amount of the time.)

Some refrigerants can only be legally sold to resellers or to users with an EPA certification. Sounds strict, huh? Well...the 609 certification test can be done online, is open book, and cost me $25 and 15 minutes to get.
> It looks like if you consider fathers in the bottom income quintile in Sweden and the US, the Swedish father's son is roughly 75% more likely to make it to the top quintile than the American

I'm not sure the American dream is income mobility, though. The American dream is wealth accumulation and amassing wealth often requires trading for a small, even no, income (e.g. founding a startup). At some point you will likely hope to cash out, but those capital gains will only be recorded as income approximately once in your lifetime.
I started out writing software after graduating with a EE degree. For 5-10 years, I wrote software and led some small teams. I then transitioned to being a SW SE, working with project SEs to allocate system requirements to software, writing software development plan, and software test procedures. The final 20 years of my career, I became an SE and principal SE, doing the whole SE dance. During that entire time, I still wrote software for testing purposes, simulations, and algorithm development. Am I a good coder? I think so. Although the development teams use C++ and Python, I'm fine with C and Python. And even though my code could be considered to be "throw away", I try and use a common methodology for developing it.

BTW, I like the term "unicorn". I'd never heard it in this context before.

Ah yes, the "inspiration" from solving the world's biggest problems of letting people send deep thoughts two sentences at a time.
Naively, you would expect a bit of a drop in productivity when going to full employment, as the least productive workers are generally hired last.

Total production, notably, is still increasing.
I agree, it is childish thing to tell the truth, when lying and obfuscating is more conducive to gain and preserve power.
yeah, csv type guess is just one of case. i more likely to have a metadata management solution beyond the data lake, maybe Ontotext Refine's goal is what i want, but it's approach from RDF really sucks.
Could you ELI5 or perhaps give an example? I’m not sure I understand.
Reminds me of Silicon Valley (HBO) where Richard uses “we are a compression company” to justify using tabs over spaces. Ironically once gzip compressed I doubt it would make any difference.
Wasn't even a good comparison either, would be like calling a Ferrari the same speed as a push-bike because you saw the former driving slowly alongside the latter.

Police killing black people for being black as some sort of racist unwritten policy is a myth. The rates shown here make perfect sense. And most (99%?) were armed. Also consider that there are hundreds of millions of Americans. It's difficult to fully grasp just how large that is. The media likes selling stories but that doesn't change the facts. A dozen news articles won't change that.
And since the forfeiture sought here is criminal forfeiture, they will have to prove that.
I have non-unlimited data and 5G.
Twitter hasn't had real impact?

Some would argue that the impact has been negative. I don't even like Twitter. But the impact is one of the greatest of any software platform till date.

And I really doubt great engineers are the kind of herdable cattle like you suggest. Most have pride and self-respect. I suspect they will be the first to leave a s(t)inking ship, and get the good jobs in the market while they are still abundant.
I think they mean: the studies showing bad outcomes from waking up 'kids' early are specifically about teenagers. Little kids get up very early, and the schedules of parents have to account for this.
I've found myself constantly using my /tmp directory on my machine for this reason. I really like that it's ephemeral and it forces our projects to be turnkey.
Hmm this sees pretty prohibitive for a lot of people. Hope it gets delayed again
I was shocked to read in a thread today that C++ programmers are paid WORSE than javascript/python/webshit/scriptcrap. Which blew my mind, but the comments basically proved the case.

That's the death knell. C++ will COBOL, not because it sucks (which I do think it kind of does due to feature overload and too much long history of different feature generations), but because it isn't even worth the money to learn.
Ah, great idea. That is my main concern.
Stirring prose, from an author with strong convictions! A call for someone not part of a government to resurrect a product for natsec reasons. Sounds like a startup I'd join
> Blunt racial preferences will probably need to be replaced in response to the Supreme Court. But a less socially divisive system based on income could take their place.

This, and the "blind" part of the title seem really jarring to me. Would it be less socially divisive to, e.g. make sure that the incoming class came from families were more representative of the income distribution overall? Or would we have lots of indignant stories about the student with a high GPA who believes they were passed over in favor of a less credentialed lower income student?

I don't think Americans are at all "blind" to class. It divides our neighborhoods, it's signaled in the clothes we wear and the cars we drive and the vacations we put on instagram. Class highly visible everywhere. But we're so extremely well trained that wealth and privilege always go together. The idea of a policy which says to the wealthy, "you can have at most this much of the pie" is very foreign. If people accept that idea when the pie is college admissions, what next? The top 1% can be responsible for at most 5% of the carbon emissions? The top 5% can use at most 10% of the water in drought states? The top 10% can capture at most 30% of economic growth? I think a majority of people at every income level would see this as deeply un-American.
Perhaps one thing lost with moving to informal approaches is that documentation loses fidelity, and therefore review-ability is compromised.
The people who “drop out” of the labor market (not working and don’t collect unemployment) basically are not counted. They are not considered part of the labor force. I know people who get burned out and live off their savings for long periods of time.
My mother-in-law's neighborhood has had 5 stolen in the past couple of months. And it isn't that big of a neighborhood. Maybe 50 houses in total?
I've sold lots, some of which were obviously chopped out of vehicles with a sawzall (vehicles that I legally owned, btw). They've always scanned my ID, took my thumb print, and mailed me the check after a couple of days.
"Japanese are years ahead of Chinese counterparts."

This is simply not true, at least to me. Chinese tools used to be cheap and bad. But, these days I find them cheap and better than Japanese expensive tools.
Yes, I find it more fun and engaging whether driving a car or riding a bike.

It also helps to build up a mental map of the city I live in, which I find to be one of those skills you can learn which feels like a bit of a superpower. Being able to find and navigate along a route, deal with detours, or navigate yourself around congested areas.

Recently I was trying to leave a large complex parking area when we noticed it was gridlocked. We were able to navigate a way out the back that hadn't become congested yet, and save ourselves from 4+ hours of waiting and ending up on the news.
> Civil forfeiture is lawless.

Civil forfeiture may be unjust, but it is definitely a product of, and tightly governed by, law.

It is also irrelevant to this case, in which criminal, not civil, forfeiture is sought.
They're not embracing, extending, and extinguishing everything for starters.
THe issue with C++ is that progressive generations of totally new truckloads of features don't auto-port legacy code forward.

So "idiomatic C++" is a hilarious moving target, and the body of code (one of C++'s advantages) is a hodgepodge of idioms, feature usage, interfaces, etc.

That said, C++ is what it is, and it is kind of proud of it, so I say to C++, keep C++ing.
Do I need to post a list of articles showing white people being bashed, brutally raped, murdered, pushed under a train or even tortured by black people while they were:
- being in their garden
- going to their car
- jogging
- walking their dog
- eating out at a restaurant

The absurd idea that whites are the ones brutalizing blacks in America is an extremely offensive joke.
Is it really? If we agree that there was a huge increase in money supply and that supply of goods stayed the same or decreased then it follows logically that more money would be needed to acquire same quantity of goods. Seems fairly simple!
They captured 22 individuals in the stings across the US. Probably only a few thousands more to go.
On the other hand, the company I’m working for now has over 50 accounts for different team envs and it’s a nightmare at times.

Terraform provider and workspaces don’t “scale” well when you need to juggle all those roles, for example.
Yo this is awesome! Using it for market validation and finding communities RN. It's like HiveIndex and GummySearch combined.
Most of them are probably being fired immediately after this.
> Sick leave while still employed at the company doesn’t let you free yourself from all the pain because you’ll have to go back eventually.

I've not seen anyone put this into words, but yes, absolutely this. The entire time I was out I knew in the back on my mind I was going to have to go back sooner or later. In the few days leading up to going back I was physically ill.

The other thing that sucks is I knew I should be applying for other jobs while on medical leave, but I just couldn't bring myself to. I really needed the time to try and recover (which didn't work out) and I think I managed to only send out a handful of applications during that time.

Thanks for the message, I appreciate it.
I used to save everything I thought was important to my del.icio.us account back in the day. How many times did I go back to look something up? Not a single time.
Note, the person you're replying too is talking about fixing code, not using code. A mouse-over tip will tell you what it is. If code is broken due to it being bad abstractions, you will need to know how it is implemented regardless.

And like below someone retorting below "hurr that's just bad code then" well all code is bad. Some people just seem to think their own machines will think for them or even worse, some other developer thought for them and didn't make any mistakes. Others realize people are infallible and you need installed hatches in order to get in there and fix things, and they prefer systems where it is easier to do so.

I feel like the big exception to this are very large libaries which can hire multiple SV-salaried engineers to work on them full-time (STL, Qt, etc), because yes, they likely might have done a good job. But some in some small shop C++ code, the constraints are different, the expected correctness is different, and you just can't trust that people have done everything right and it helps to have hatches.

Anyway, there are other issues with a Month type but other than that issue, the use of a const accessor method is yes better than public member, so I don't fully agree with them that the 1st guideline is that bad, I certainly agree with the spirit of it to a degree. I skimmed the guide and a lot of it is pretty good. Like C.2 really jives with me and gives me a very good rule that seems to explain why a lot of OOP code rubs me the wrong way, of which encapsulating a bunch of disparate state with no real invariants or constraints makes no sense but is something you see from a lot of code out there. That said, I still will never follow anything religiously, even if Bjarne Stroustrup wrote it because really no rules fit every situation and devs should be wary when people make pronouncements of rules that are total and fixed.
The same thing on Windows can be done by essentially creating a process based on any file and then rewriting its contents in memory: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/305203/createprocess-fro...

As for the side-question of switching between 64 and 32 bit mode in the same process, this is classically known on Windows as "heaven's gate" and a similar technique on Linux seems possible too: https://gist.github.com/rqou/1a1834b784283add7955af430097311...
Look at this graph: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/WM2NS

See the discontinuity? That's not an artifact of changes to how money supply is measured. It's a real, unprecedented increase in the money supply.

If not inflation, what impact would such an increase have? Is increasing money supply the world's first free lunch? If so, why not accelerate it's growth even more?
> you can segfault or mem leak in a single line. Good luck reading through a few dozen k lines of code of a 3rd party library

You have articulated one of the biggest motivations I have for avoiding C++ in scientific computing. An R library that uses C++ to speed up a clustering algorithm that seemingly arbitrarily segfaults on my input is not the thing I should be having to debug.
> those aren't the reasons for the inflation. The increase in the money supply is.

Why was the money supply increased?
Sounds impossible, probably best to fold the company.
I don't think your point hits how you think, if prices -could- fall to the 2020 level then you could say it was mostly supply/demand driven and not monetarily driven. Of course, it never will, which lends to the idea that this has a major monetary cause on top of everything else.
It seems that with isolation between projects on gcloud the number of separate accounts needed is less, which is good because it's also harder and more expensive to create multiple accounts. If gsuite is used very carefully, 1 is enough, but I think 2 would be better for most.
AGE can handle that and recursive ctes can as well, but AGE has mechanisms to handle cyclic graphs as well.
Just as a note, this didn't work at all. They came up with a better chemistry and now there's more meth than there was before. Breaking Bad dramatized this aspect of it (though their chemistry wasn't correct on purpose).
Isn't that roughly how heartbleed works? Trusting the provided length?
Do people actually arrive on a random site and then put their address in? Or do you send this mostly to people whom you’ve already explained what you are building?
It doesn't work with HTTPS because the pings are done with HTTP requests. You have to disable HTTPS-only mode and load it over plain HTTP: http://gfblip.appspot.com/

Requests get blocked for mixed content after a few seconds if the site is loaded with HTTPS.
Wasmtime / WASI does this extremely well.
AGE 1.1 should perform better or at least similar to Neo4j. Not sure about RedisGraph.
I tried using these lights when I moved my plants into the garage one winter. The light from the blue/red is so harsh on the eyes. I totally hated it. I get the zero energy wasted on the light the plants don't need/don't use, but after that I assume that the savings from using LEDs was way more than the old full spectrum hot lamps so emitting more human friendly light is well worth it to me.
This is just not true, QE caused massive inflation in asset classes. People just didn't complain about that because it made them feel richer, but it widened the gap between rich and poor. People that have investments are much more worried about a Fed policy mistake by being too tight, but rarely if ever complain about it being too loose. I'm sure some MMTers wish we were still at 1.5% in complete denial that monetary policy matters a LOT to inflation, in fact usually being the main driver...which every monetary theorist basically agrees on.
Real ID is racist. It specifically prohibits people who can’t prove citizenship from traveling. It provides zero improved security and moves our country towards restrictive racist practices. I can’t believe it’s not more vigorously opposed.
I haven't played with OpenWRT SQM for a while, but if it's easy to reproduce with gfblip, it might be a simple matter of telling them your exact SQM settings and the URL to try.

Chances are changing the SQM backend (eg. between fq-codel and cake) will at least change the behaviour and likely make the bug go away.
So this opens up a ton of possibilities for distributing content creation tools.

But the licensing is problematic.

>General Public License

Unlike making a 3D modeling app in Unity , you have to open source your Blender derived app.

Up until I read that line I assumed it exported some binary which could be closed sourced. I personally want content creation tools, but I respect programers don't want to work for free.
Hawaii's housing law that allows historically disadvantaged outsiders like the US-naturalized Filipinos who came in as cheap farm labor to actually OWN land are why half my family even has their own meager slice of property today.

Under American Samoan rules non-native minorities like blacks and filipinos are in effect excluded from property ownership rights of nearly all of American Samoa. I can't believe people here are effectively pro-racism in housing. Codified racism of property rights are not acceptable within US borders.
Something tells me you're the kind of person who considers both people who prioritize safety more than you and less than you idiots...
> from where I sit, it looks like Apple has outplayed everyone

I also don't have a horse in this race (used the latest & greatest from both Apple and Microsoft/Intel/Nvidia), but I don't think you're seeing the entire picture either.

First off, Apple hasn't won. There are still markets they don't cater to (budget computing, HPC, gaming, machine learning research, CUDA programming, 3D design/rendering, native Docker development, the list goes on), and they show no interest in poaching those users. Second off, you're overestimating the impact of Apple's advances here. Performance-per-watt is a nice advantage, but it came at the cost of abandoning x86 and paying insane up-front costs for next-generation silicon that led to a disappointing M2 cycle. One thing is certain, though - Apple's performance entirely relies on their ability to out-bid competitors for competitive components, which gives them a default monopoly (as the richest company in the world).

> What do you think Apple will do to Microsoft, once Microsoft products are primarily accessed over Apple devices?

Apple will do the same thing they've always done, beg third-parties to stay on their platform with under-the-table deals that bolster support for the App Store. Microsoft makes Apple money, to remove Office365 support would be paramount to telling your business customers to pound sand. All of this is ignoring the antitrust regulation mounting against Apple for their completely unfair abuse of the App Store and software distribution. Even still, they will never have the leverage to kick Microsoft where it hurts because they'll never have competitive market share. Like I said in my previous comment, assuming the most absurd conditions (like Mac sales growing 30% YoY), it would be decades before Apple had enough control to pull that off.

I hope you're right, and Apple tries to act cute while the trade commissions are watching. We're long overdue for another nuclear platform abuses lawsuit like the one we stuck Microsoft with in the mid-2000s, all it would take is one silly move to push us there.
