> Its an insult to people from non-english speaking countries.

No it is not. It may be an insult to people from larger countries who have been pampered all their life, with all the content they consumed being in their native language, being led to believe that their language is somehow equal to English. It is not.

I am Croatian. I don't expect anyone to learn my language, even if they're coming to live here. In fact, considering how difficult it is, we Croatians usually tell people not to bother. I do expect that when I travel, I can use English, the de-facto lingua franca, to find my way around and communicate with locals. I expect signs and information to be in English. Most amusingly enough, people from smaller countries _get_ this. They understand that if they want to participate in a global society, they need to learn English. People from big countries don't.

Seems quite unambiguous to me that for the second moderna shot,the risk is higher than for unvaccinated Covid infection.

I also wonder how to square it with the rest of their claimsc Seems that you can't take any publication headline of any instance on any side of the argument on face value when stuff gets politicized like this.

"But the risk of myocarditis associated with the vaccine was lower than the risk associated with COVID-19 infection before or after vaccination – with one exception. Men under 40 who received a second dose of the Moderna vaccine had a higher risk of myocarditis following vaccination. The Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines are available in the U.S."
I have traveled from Spain till Iceland in a 300 euros bike. In my opinion, the bike is not that important if you do not carry too much weight, visit countries were certain spare parts are not available and finding someone that can weld aluminium is not impossible. Just avoid rear suspension. Do not put too much weight since this puts too much presion on the spokes.

Instead spend the money in: good tyres (schwalwe, continental), paniers (ortlieb) and racks (tubus) and saddle (brooks) since this are the components that wear out really fast.

Gas stove does not work well in moderate cold climate. I discovered this the hard way. If the temp. Is gonna be about 0C buy a petrol stove.

The Little Schemer would be a good resource. Some here may disagree, though. It uses a Socratic dialogue style that rubs some people the wrong way.

But here is Norvig's Python eval for a Lisp:

def eval(x, env=global_env):
"Evaluate an expression in an environment."
if isinstance(x, Symbol): # variable reference
return env.find(x)[x]
elif not isinstance(x, List):# constant
return x
op, *args = x
if op == 'quote': # quotation
return args[0]
elif op == 'if': # conditional
(test, conseq, alt) = args
exp = (conseq if eval(test, env) else alt)
return eval(exp, env)
elif op == 'define': # definition
(symbol, exp) = args
env[symbol] = eval(exp, env)
elif op == 'set!': # assignment
(symbol, exp) = args
env.find(symbol)[symbol] = eval(exp, env)
elif op == 'lambda': # procedure
(parms, body) = args
return Procedure(parms, body, env)
else: # procedure call
proc = eval(op, env)
vals = [eval(arg, env) for arg in args]
return proc(*vals)

Linux support is fine, I test my phone apps using the Linux build.

Dart has changed a lot since it was released, it has null safety now for example, you can put if and for inside a list constructor which helps when building widget trees. I like it a lot more than JavaScript.

Its biggest weakness IMO is a lack of data classes, considering you spend a lot of dev time building classes that just have properties and a toString(), toJson() and equality test. The code generator functionality is quite verbose as you need to run it manually. Both of these things are being worked on though, along with pattern matching.

There was a pretty simple way to build a chromium based app with electron that allows you to run old flash application. I built this a few years ago for some customers in my old company because we had a flash backend which we couldn't port to js with reasonable effort.

A quick Google research shows that chromium disabled flash a while ago but you should still be able to use an older version in electron projects. Didn't test it but could be worth a shot.

The headline might be a bit misleading, depending on what he intended to say. I don't read his thread as "The biggest architectural mistake at GitHub was..", more so that it was a mistake to more generally bet 100% on it, not they they specifically did. The headline makes a close association between Github and this rant, but the thread doesn't really mention GitHub
It's "political" because when you start to actually understand how various incentives motivate human economic behavior, "if you subsidize more of A you get more of B", it shines an uncomfortable light on the consequences on many policy choices.

False. In many cases you might be collecting it in the first place without realizing it (e.g. Analytics). Also it's a problem for developing anything to spend a lot of thinking "would this violate GDPR" instead of actual creative thinking and development.

I don't remember how many DAYS we've collectively lost in all the apps we're making, to make sure we comply with GDPR instead of focusing on productivity.

Regulations on Custom Browsers made for work, productivity, etc.
I have been using SideKick browser to manage multiple accounts in one place otherwise switching between Chrome profiles was a pain but recently I figured out SideKick automatically changes my WhatsApp status to "Available (via SideKick browser). Not only this, they also change the status on Discord, Slack, Telegram and many other apps.

This is a Growth Hack for them but this was very frustrating for me to know and especially they don't have any authority over my WhatsApp Status.

When I did some reverse engineering, I found SideKick is adding an extension that injects content script on web.whatsapp.com and it changes the WhatsApp status automatically every 3 days or so and then they also send the analytics events to their servers.

They may/may not be doing anything with my data but the bigger question is when people over Internet are using browsers like these, they get full access to what you browse and everything else like Cookies, Passwords, etc.

Even they can stitch your sessions in Incognito if they want in the backend \_(~_~)_/. Who knows.

Browser extensions are still vetted by respective vendors like Google & Mozilla but how do we ensure we are browsing the Internet safely?

> At the time of settlement, the south had colonies of the large flightless moa. The early settlers rapidly adapted to this temperate climate, living on a diet of moa, seafood and vegetables grown in their garden plots.

> But then the Little Ice Age interfered with this lifestyle. After 1350, conditions became significantly colder in the south. By around 1400-1420, moa hunting became uneconomic and put these fledgling communities under immense pressure. Once again, people had to adapt quickly.

This is plainly misleading. It implies without explicitly stating that the Little Ice Age interfered with their moa-eating lifestyle by making moa hunting uneconomical.

It is genuinely perplexing to me that anyone believed SBF. Nothing has ever added up, and frankly he gives off very strange vibes. The entire thing was so unsettling.

I suppose my concern though is that Will MacAskill was knowingly involved in this garbage. I didn’t realize how close he was to SBF or for how long. Now that I know, I have a creeping suspicious that he could be implicated in this. His organization received significant funds from SBF. Like you, I’d like to believe will isn’t hypocritical jackass and that EA genuinely matters to him.
Did I defend bezos? I gave him as an example for the same thing I'm calling out musk for.

I'm just saying that Musk owning Twitter is that times 100(a made up number, obviously) because:

1. Twitter somehow became the place where most "journalists" get their news from.

2. Politicians spread their propaganda at

3. Musk has no scruples about public manipulation and abusing his power. He is set on whatever made up vision he has, and he'll do whatever it takes to get there.

Why won't he use his control of where journos and politicos create the public discourse? How is that not just expected? His company, his rules, no?

BTW you turning me calling out Musk as somehow diminishing Bezos damage is hardly in good faith. Same as your godlike mind reading , that I just hate musk and turning to principles is me hiding that fact.

Try to assume I'm speaking in good faith, it leads to much better discussions.
Lisp is functional programming. You can leverage the functional programming paradigms to write more correct code.

Also Lisp makes it easier to not repeat yourself. It's shorter to create functions, even macros, leading to the ominous "DSL" rabbit hole.

Another superpower is that it has no predefined keywords or operators. So you can redefine everything to whatever unicode you want. Including other languages and writing systems. It's a lot harder to write a programming language/compiler that uses another natural language idiomatically using something more similar to C or Python.
> 20 km per day (~12.5 mi)

That is some serious distance. I remember thinking I would be able to do at least 25-35 km per day, a few years ago when I walked parts of the camino de Santiago in Spain. Blisters and destroyed feet in just a few days, not ever reaching 30 km per day I think.. How long did it take you to get used to this kind of distance daily?
Depends what metric you're goaling on. The San Francisco Bay Area still pays the best in the world and has most of the industry leading companies, although the emergence of mainstream remote work is opening this up a bit. New York and Seattle are not quite the same for the startup scene, but they have plenty of big tech presence. I haven't personally experienced it, but from what I hear about culture in Western Europe, the work-life balance is much better compared to the United States.
On C#, we also have structs with value semantics, and arrays can be stack allocated.
Whether it's viable or not depends on how much money you want/need to make. Ad networks typically pay out $5 or more per thousand views (many people reporting RPMs in the $30s and above in some niches / geos), so if you want to net USD$10k/month and your costs (content creation, hosting etc) are $2k/month, you'd need between 400k monthly pageviews (at $30RPM) and 2.4M monthly pageviews (at $5RPM).

The viability of this business model has been somewhat dented recently by multiple Google algo updates. Many operators were buying expired domains, scraping People Also Ask questions in bulk from SERPs, and using GPT-3 to create prettily-worded but factually-questionable answers, on a massive scale. The algo changes aimed at these sites (and other types of SEO spam), which in some cases would have been generating six figures monthly, also seem to have taken out many legitimate sites.
Not sure if smartphones will last 10 years. I have 2 early Google phones die on me with strange boot loops (different series), my trusted hardware guy says the flash died. They are just not made for 10 years usage.

Your laptop may be good, but it will probably only support some ancient insecure slow WiFi profiles.

Distributions start to drop old hardware. And there are always new CPU and other chip security bugs discovered, how do you get fixes for that into your system?
Not a Ponzi. You can argue that deposits should be kept separate and shouldn't be touched without calling it something it's not.

The first iPhone app my pal Dave and me put up on the App Store in 2008 was a tip calculator.

The second was 20 Questions. The app provided prompts and a paddle to keep track of the guess count.

It was a nice little app because it made iPhone social.

We called the app iQ because the iProduct pattern was still in force and it was cool to camp the name space.

We sold a bunch of copies of this game, but not nearly as many as we later made on Baby Names, the first baby name app in the App Store.

It was the gold rush era, you could still come up with simple ideas and be the first to put it up on the App Store.

I am living off of past earnings, don't travel and have basically no chores because I live modestly and am willing to tolerate some clutter/mess in my apartment.

I'm pretty sure I saw it in recent days, I went out on my back porch where I saw Jupiter in the sky... and then another Jupiter (same color/apparent magnitude) just coasting away on its satellite track. This thing was bright, I've seen the International Space Station and this was way brighter, and flared a bit when the sunlight caught it right.

> antenna array as big as a highway billboard

I don't get it, how can something actually that small can reflect so much light? I mean, it's high up in the orbit, and an object at a height of the orbit with a size of billboard should be super small. I know it's reflecting sunlight and in darkness it shines a lot, but still I can't wrap my head around how such a small (relatively, to space) object can create some much reflection.

I know what ISS can do and I regularly observe its passes and how bright it is, but ISS is much, much bigger.

I mean, don’t see many consequences for that brittleness. Inconvenience sure.

And I mean, if you think it’s the wrong move then there is an opportunity for you to get very rich - either start a company selling for higher prices to account for slack or heavily invest in ones that do.

A small nit:

> As John Green (or Georg Cantor) taught us, some infinities are bigger than others—and the number of things is a really big infinity

I don't think this statement is true, at least not in the context it's given. At most, we'd only be able to think of countably many things, which is the smallest infinity.

> But for example, I live in a housing co-operative, and there the laws really become a pain. Like we wanted to use the CCTV to better enforce treatment of communal areas, but you can't without a police report, etc.

I also live in a housing cooperative and I'm glad these laws exist. They protect me from some neighbors that want to set up CCTV everywhere because somebody once saw a kid in the yard that he didn't recognize so must be a burgler (dark skin tone I might add), and because some neighbors don't fold their cardboard boxes properly in the recycling room. And for that BS I and all neighbors should be put under permanent video surveillance in all common areas on the property? No way, I'm glad the law prohibits that.

> smart contracts are a different think, unaddressed here

Let me address this, then:

- they are not smart

- they are not contracts

- they are programs written in esoteric programming languages running on world's slowest and most inefficient VM

- due to esoteric nature their own authors cannot find trivial bugs in their implementations that are exploited at scale which would make any real platform nonviable

- cannot be updated or reverted because blockchain

- have literally no use outside the virtual imaginary world of crypto

- have zero legal standing, and cannot be enforced

- in every single case would be more efficient and better served by Visual Basic running on a single Raspberry Pi from a sqlite database.
