I have been wearing glasses against nearsightedness/astigmatism since I am an adult.

I already needed them as teenagers, but my mother was against it, because I should not grow too dependent on them. Because she says if you wear glasses, the eye adjust to the glasses, so you see as bad with the glasses, as you did without glasses. Then you need stronger glasses, and every time you get stronger glasses, they make the eyes worse, until they make you almost blind. The opticians are destroying your eyes on purpose, so they can sell more glasses

I only got glasses as adult because it was mandatory to get a driving license. I actually got an anxiety attack in the driving exam and failed the exam, when I had to put my glasses on because I was still convince they make you blind.

I wonder if I have ADHD, too. I am completely unable to participate in classes, but my grades in exams were good enough that no teacher suggested testing. It is like I have zero attention on anything said in class, but then hyperfocus on reading/writing/programming stuff. Anyways my mother would not have allowed me to go to a psychiatrist, because she think that psychiatry is a scam. The psychiatrists are only trying to get you addicted to drugs and destroy your health on purpose, so they can sell more drugs.

Or it might be because I could not see anything in class. Then I had to stare at something and try to recognize something in the blur, and that was taking away all my attention. But reading things in close range worked fine without glasses. Perhaps degraded sensory input is actually a cause for ADHD. The brain diverts too much processing power on processing sensations, and there is not enough processing power left for the actual task, and it makes any sensation (distraction) appear much more important. I still cannot participate in classes even with glasses
Even giving the government the benefit of the doubt with regards to some legitimate security interest in what this guy may have done, the process where the police just bust up your home and destroy your digital life needs to be drastically reformed. At the minimum, any damage caused should be automatically compensated, with the only exception being if the people residing in the structure fight back. This includes paying for replacement digital devices to make up for the ones that were physically taken rather than just having their storage copied. Furthermore, there should be punitive damages for individual agents who needlessly traumatize people, such as preventing them from getting dressed.
> The coin has no intrinsic value

This is pretty debatable. Bitcoin does have some intrinsic value as a medium of exchange and store of value.
The problem in most other countries isn't PBA cards, it's bribes, either solicited by or offered to the police.

So this is really not that big of an issue in the grand scheme of things.

I mean, cops usually get free coffee and snacks. Is that an issue?
> I think a long-term solution is a universal revenue-sharing programme - so like some portion of taxes is allocated to a universal repository, and then paid out to creators according to usage. No middle-men and no distribution issues, etc.

So, just another publishing and distribution monopoly, no matter who runs it. Still a good improvement over the current status quo, I'll agree. Flawed as they may be, Spotify and Youtube did end up boosting independent creative production and accessibility of content manifold.
> The first thing I'd do is find a forum, group, discord, whatever of people who dabble and deal in this kind of thing. Starting with YouTube channels and follow the strings. Said groups almost always have a "deals/trade/buy" subsection somewhere.

This parallels my good experience with buying older enthusiast cars (Acura Legend, Honda S2000), it seems like a valid pattern for any such endeavor.

I admit it was kind of cool to be able to operate on whole arrays at a time, but nowadays I can do that with Python's numpy.

>If you disagree, then make an argument. Don't pester people with questions.

The questions are the argument. They are the problems in your position that you have not answered that would be required for them to work. I don't need to offer up another alternatively entirely to make the cogent point that your assertion fails. This is just common sense. I have no idea why this needs to be explained to you.

>Isolated demand for rigor. You asserted without evidence that obscuring plates cause accidents, yet demand evidence when I make the common knowledge observation that texting while driving leads to accidents.

Well you dismissed my point just as readily... it's obnoxious, isn't it?

> Look, this is an internet forum, not an academic journal

Weird point from the guy demanding a sort of rigor about this whole situation that is so beyond the application of common sense I'm left a little bit confused as to what point you'd ever think you were making that wasn't merely academic.

Allowing to compress code this much is the goal of golfing languages (such as 05AB1E (or osabie) or Pyth (not Python)). The code golf stack exchange forum contains a lot of programming challenges where the goal is to write the shorest program (in bytes) that does what the challenge asks, and some answers are truly impressive, with somewhat non-trivial algorithms being implemented in as few as 4 bytes (in extreme cases). Granted, these are programming challenges and not production code to be deployed, and some golfing languages are designed for a specific kind of task or algorithm that may let us think that the algorithm was actually pre-implemented in the language (and sometimes it is kinda true), but still, worth taking a look at it.
And a very patient and curious evaluator you were too (I was one of your counterparts at DA).

> The way daml is setup makes it more of a weird sibling of GRPC for stateful resource protocols.

Yes, well said. I think that's quite fair. It's wrong to look at it through the lens of Haskell (or any other FP language), it's really a declarative language for describing process flow and actor rights and obligations. Not something you could write a complete program in. A better way to think of it is as a big DSL for controlling state machines; you still need all the machinery around the outside to advance execution, handle IO, trigger events and transitions etc.

It's syntactically similar to Haskell because the people who created it were Haskell heads out of ETH Zürich. That's the only connection.

“Superyacht” is stand-in for anything beyond one’s basic human needs.

For instance, In the discussion you wrote that you’d ride your bicycle and wanna code all day (which requires a computer, and presumably, since you’re on HN participating in thoughtful discussion, an internet connection). There are millions and millions of people who don’t have that, and to them, it is a big luxury item.

I'm certainly not disregarding him. His work was (and is) important. But the reason it lives on is to serve as a cautionary tale. It saves you from taking a turn down that road which can be so appealing to precocious young minds who aren't aware of its' logical conclusions.
Anecdotal example: I was in a coffee shop in Redding CA. There was a lady with a nasal infusion pump tube in her nose. I struck up a conversation with her. It turns out she had Stage IV cancer and was about to go before a bankruptcy magistrate to fight to keep her clothes, housing, and vehicle. Her creditors were the doctors and hospitals who were going after her while she was still alive.
We should be clear about that Gemini and Coinbase aren't running those schemes.

You buy some sort of tokens on their marketplace with which you can partake in (what very much looks like) ponzi schemes. It's far from clear what their role is in all of this, even if I would think we all would be better off if they distanced themselves from it.

There is probably a lot of customer demand here too. We've seen even the staunchest opponents give in one after another, and offer marketplaces for these tokens.

> [Homebrew gives your user ownership of /usr/local.] That's laughable and I don't know how it gets a pass from everyone.

A big part of it is that Mac users don't generally think of or treat macOS as a multiuser operating system. It's a single-user Unix, baby!! (:

But even without that choice, malicious aliases for brew, or PATH changes and a malicious ~/.local/bin/brew would be possible.
In my personal opinion:

The reason is that there exist so many ways of programming. Programming is not a single skill, but a multitude of different approaches to get the computer do what it should.

To give an example: what an ABAP (SAP) developer does is very different from an embedded developer which is again very different from a frontend web developer, database developer, ...

So, learning programming is rather like learning to write great belletristic literature. What is the "best"/"correct" way to write a belletristic book? Read a lot of of great literature and find your own style. The same holds for programming.

Also, the problem is that actually quite employers value good programming; they value people who can put together some application based on the current in-fashion library fast. Understanding the current in-fashion library from ground up leads to the situation that in most cases, when you come a little bit nearer towards understanding it from ground up, the library has become horribly obsolete.
I think the commenter made a guess that I was boxing an array, which is a good guess, it just happens to be wrong in this case.

Maybe that will work in the future—I don’t use nightly Rust, so for now, new_zeroed() won’t work. The basic problem is “I want to allocate something large on the heap” and it doesn’t seem like I should need to use nightly builds or unsafe{} to do it.
He lays out where it is legal and illegal to fly drones on his website and urges people to stick to those, so I would assume he does so himself.

https://www.dreamlandresort.com/area51/drones.html
You cannot just fly drones over airspace you are not allowed to, take pictures of a classified base, and expect nothing to ever happen. This isn't a free speech issue like many are making it out to be in this comment section. The pictures were forbidden from distribution in the first place, and gathered illegally.

And this doesn't have anything to do with Area 51 in particular either. If someone did this to any Air Force base, the same thing would happen. Drones are banned from all bases for obvious reasons.

Actually the wealth is gone. Not because bitcoin was a ponzi scheme (that doesn't destroy wealth or money, that indeed just redistributes it) but because a common way to get bitcoin or other cryptocoins is to destroy equivalent amount of wealth, burn gas, energy, make ASIC silicone to mine, etc. What a madness, really.
Gigantic arms are not feasible because of how torque and leverage work.

As your arm gets longer, it has to get stronger, thus heavier, thus requiring larger motors, and anchored to the ground better. After a handful of meters, robot arms can’t hold themselves up, let alone carry a useful tool.

There are multiple meter long robot arms for lifting big things in factories but they are enormous, enormously expensive, and consume enormous power.

But here’s a delightful concept that sidesteps this, by making the arm weigh nothing:

Just as an analogy, can a person majoring in architecture not do drawing or designing?

Of course drawing and designing is most of architectural education.

The problem is that unlike CS, architecture is a studio practice and a principal pedagogical premise is the only way to demonstrate design ability is by executing a design against constraints.

Another principle premise is that while there are objectively better and worse executions, there is no objectively correct solution. So no multiple choice tests in the design studio.

Finally, soft skills are part of the curriculum. Students have to present their work and stand there while others talk about it. Basically a long series of whiteboard interviews where the whiteboard contains weeks of work.

Sure programming could be taught in a studio environment. But probably not CS because the studio is not part of science pedagogy.

And to be clear, the studio dominates architectural education. All nighters are normal and expected because more work is how better is achieved and projects are only done because time has run out. None of which is part of science education.
Yeah, I can see that happening. There are combinations of roles etc that might hit the limit.

I can repair old machines, I started last year and have done a dozen or so.

Does that mean that I should start a repair business for old machines? I don't think the economics make sense for most machines; sometimes it takes less than an hour to "repair" an old machine, but most of the time it takes a long time to diagnose the issue, especially when looking at a machine you've never looked at before. Even at minimum wage, it would sometimes end up costing more than paying a little more on ebay to get a machine in working condition in the first place.

I've been thinking of maybe starting a rental service for vintage machines though. I imagine that most people just want to play around with something for a couple days or weeks, and buying and then selling is quite a lot of effort I imagine. (However I wouldn't like sending known working vintage machines using regular delivery services.)
So basically they’re committed to a strategy that is not helping. They can never be a partner in security while they actively work to secretly subvert security.

> Stuffing ballot boxes is much easier than an attack on an electronic voting system.

If you have free and independent observers it most definitely is not. If you don't have them it doesn't matter (with an electronic system you would have had exactly the same results both in Ukraine and Korea just at a much lower cost..). You'd need much resources and political power to compromise a normal election. With internet voting you'd need just a few people in the right spot (i.e. developing/maintaining the system) and some security vulnerability/backdoor to do it.

Also it's virtually impossible to guarantee both security and anonymity with internet voting.
After years of burnout, my psyche rewrote 6 to prevent 7. When I get to that point, my subconscious rebels and I stare into the depths of the void rather than work. My conscious mind notices this behavior, I tell everybody what's happening and I cancel or indefinitely delay everything except for literal life and death. I take a few days off, then set a goal of one focused task a day. If that only takes an hour, that's fine, I did the task. Gradually I increase the load, but I know from repeated burnout cycles that impatience will deepen the wound.
> then have testified that they knocked and identified themselves as police before breaking down the door in plainclothes.

Over a dozen neighbors, including one outside smoking near the incident, interviewed said they never heard the police identify themselves. Only one neighborhood claims to have heard them do so.

"Unconvinced" is right. If they identified themselves they did a piss poor job.

And seriously, why would you ever want to do a "plain clothes" no knock raid?

Then the issue is seemingly with having a large military that stays well-trained at all. There isn't any way to do that without expending enormous amounts of energy. Keeping a flight rating, along with all the unit-level qualifications necessary of ground armored combat forces burns far more fuel than commuting, even commuting by plane.
