The existence of a "criticism" section on wikipedia does not mean a journal isn't reputable. But if you want to censor your own information sources that way, go ahead. The Quincy Institute -- which publishes Responsible Statecraft -- is a realist foreign policy think tank, designed to oppose neo-con foreign policy and advocate for a rationalist approach rather than an ideological approach. They opposed many of the foreign wars the U.S. has recently waged. Here is their mission statement:

"The Quincy Institute promotes ideas that move U.S. foreign policy away from endless war and toward vigorous diplomacy in the pursuit of international peace."

That, of course, is enough to make a lot of the redditors very angry, but it's certainly a reputable outlet. You can read more here, which has their mission statement, list of board members, and major funders:

https://quincyinst.org/about/

Funders include The Carnegie Corporation of New York, The Open Society Foundation, The Ploughshares fund, Ford Foundation, Streisand Foundation, Rockefeller Brothers Foundation. Examine their full list of donors here:

There is also a podcast you can listen to, called "in search of monsters". If you are a foreign policy wonk, you will get the reference.

https://quincyinst.org/category/podcast/

I would also argue that wikipedia is not an unbiased source on anything that touches politics or foreign policy, and it would be quite foolish to trust it as a reputable information source on those topics.
The D programming language came out of my inability to influence C++. Amusingly, D has had a lot more influence on C++'s direction than I was able to do directly.
> the tape don’t seal.

No, the tape absolutely contributes to the seal. Sure, the lubrication lets you thread more tightly without binding, but that's not to say the tape isn't contributing to the seal. If it didn't, you would still have a spiral leakage path. PTFE tape is soft enough that it deforms and prevents the spiral leakage path which can occur with any tapered threaded joint.

I've actually used PTFE tape in super high pressure situations (>1000 psi) with straight (un-tapered) joints (you aren't typically supposed to, but this was for an experiment), and it indeed sealed.

> The tape also works as a deformable filler and thread lubricant, helping to seal the joint without hardening or making it more difficult to tighten

> You can't live in the US and think you can simply display a swastika, mirrored or not.

The US has the First Amendment. This would clearly be protected First Amendment speech.

Obviously a condo board or co-op board can have its own rules about displays in common areas inside the building similar to a HOA. But even these are subject to the Fair Housing Act, and cannot discriminate based on religion.
I feel like you missed the grand theme of the piece: "How to keep the lights on at your startup, by doing whatever it takes"

There's a whole ethics discussion to be had here (is it better to fire 40% and save 60%, or end up closing shop and 100% losing their jobs), but "taking advantage of the misery of others and hiring desperate workers" just sounds like you're not understanding how damn hard it is to be in the CEO seat.

This sounds a lot like software transactional memory (STM) combined with static single assignment form (SSA).

The idea behind STM is to specify some block of code as being one big fat atomic operation, and then the runtime will magically make it so. The idea behind SSA form is to only assign variables once, as doing so makes imperative optimization as easy as functional.

I wonder if the author knows about these things, or if they're coming in at a different angle.
> Void, oh no!

void is the unit type, not the uninhabited type. (I'm really not sure what Haskell was smoking when it messed that[0] up, but it's probably too late to fix now.)

0: Calling it Data.Void rather than something like Data.Noreturn or whatever.

> live-fire exercises every year where its army practices invading North Korea

It's "practicing invading North Korea" in the same sense North Korea's missile tests are "practicing dropping nukes on America." It's a war practice, all options are on the table, with the hope that they won't be necessary.

South Korea and the US had canceled the yearly joint exercise in 2019, hoping for a better relation with North Korea. It didn't work out - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_North_Korean_missile_t...

The exercise resumed in 2022.
Evidence needed: define "dangerous" in terms of micromorts based on what BMR and demographics (i.e., age, BMI, FFMI, height, gender)?

There are risks to ponder about how critical (e.g., time vs. dangers) it is to get to a healthy weight. If someone dangerously obese maintains hydration, electrolytes, vitamins, and enough lipids to empty the gallbladder, getting to a low adipose tissue state, resetting insulin, ghrelin, and leptin sensitivities, and reducing the likelier risks of cancer(s) seems like a good tradeoff than either lap-band surgery or slow/plateau weight reductions.

Intense hunger goes away after about 72-80 hours of "starvation", however brain fog and low energy dominate. Careful "starvation" dieting down to slightly underweight isn't something one can do without several months of spare time, ready access to healthcare, and immense self-control. Afterwards, self-control is absolutely required to avoid binge cycles.

GLP-1 agonists are expensive but interesting crutches to get there slowly.

It is likely that over millions of years of natural selection, the human body is far more tolerant of borderline starvation conditions than being stuffed with HFCS. Many types of cancers associated with Western diets are likely due to the human body becoming more hospitable, whereas chemotherapy and starvation add cellular stress that kills off malfunctioning cells. It's likely no accident whereas CHD, gout, diabetes, high cholesterol, and cancers are the consequent of unnatural diets and lifestyles.
My experience is that it’s a winner take all field. A small minority of candidates receive huge compensation. They have good degrees and publications. Generally they make 25-50% more than a similar level vanilla software engineer. This is especially the case at top tech companies.

If you aren’t one of those, being a regular swe is much better. A lot of ml roles are using canned models, and increasingly so. Many data science insights are ignored by the business, or the statistics don’t work on such a biased sample.
You want to leave so you can maximize for learnings, but you’re worried you will leave before properly learning what you are doing? Those are conflicting ideas.

Hm, I'm reviewing my copy of the 2011 NEC and can't find the part I remember. I swore I recall reading something that basically carved out exceptions for thin wires for long strings of lights, but maybe I'm misremembering.

Of course, manufactured items aren't actually regulated under the NEC, but rather UL/ETL or another NRTL. Which is why you run your nice 10gauge wire for a dryer, then at the junction panel inside it switches over to 14 ga stranded or whatever. They've done the math with power dissipation, higher temp insulation, etc etc. And if it burns down your house you get to sue the manufacturer.

As an aside, it's a travesty that public.resource.org no longer has the building codes available. If the codes are not available for all to read, they cannot be considered binding law.

> One of the concerns is that C and C++ are being discouraged for new projects by several branches of the US government[1], which makes memory safety important to address.

The biggest memory safety problem for C is array overflows. I proposed a simple, backwards compatible change to C years ago, and it has received zero traction. Note that we have 20 years of experience in D of how well it works.

It'd improve C++ as well.

I really do not understand why C adds other things, but not this, as this would engender an enormous improvement to C.

>If you think that nobody would be fired for refusing to work in unsafe conditions and nobody would be fired for not drinking, you're still agreeing that the situations are similar...

I'm absolutely not. One is being given a 'duty' of some sort to do, as part of your job, but legitimately refusing on safety grounds. How is that in any way similar to not participating in a drinking contest down the pub, on a works piss-up?

And if, instead of staggering out the pub and going on his arse, this eejit and his pissed-up mates had decided to drunkenly kick the crap out of some innocent passer-by, that would have been excusable too, because he only joined in to avoid losing 'social credit' with his workmates?
ERs do not turn people away, but much of ER traffic is due to skipping preventative care due to lack of financial resources or insurance.

Refusal to avoid the outcome of more serious health issues by putting funding into it is because that funding has to go elsewhere to make next quarters numbers.

I’m not going to debate this. I’ve been in the room with big tech leaders and political figures who speak in no uncertain terms behind closed doors; their goal is to keep power and their methods are designed intentionally to make people believe their power is immutable truth. We are indeed demanded of by normal humans with extremely narcissistic personalities and an innumerate public that cheers them on.
Yeah. Any talk of “reclamation” isn’t going to work very well as long as actual nazis are around and using the symbol. People are welcome to try, of course, but to act like victims when they’re politely asked to hide the symbols is hypocritical.
i bet it correltes to a million different things.
A significant number of Americans and Europe whose ancestors weren't directly persecuted by nazis, but who fought in WW2 against the nazis and fascists, and they also find the swastika offensive.

Also note that the nazis also murdered Romani, Sinti, Poles, Slavs in concentration camps and ghettos. They also murdered and starved the general civillian populations of areas they took over.
I remember when people would sell various bits of plumbing such as valves and pipe fittings with swastikas on them, claiming them to be WW2 German artifacts, when in fact they were prewar products of the American Crane company:

It's not "a white person." It's not about "PoC". It's the horror of the Nazis vs. some ancient symbol co-opted by religions (and AFAIK, one of many symbols in these religions, and never the main one), being on display in the US, not in Eastern Asia.

Yeah they’re great if maintained. They do tend to have a lot of windows (and larger windows) than typical modern homes. I suspect it’s because windows are expensive and the homes still standing were generally the higher quality homes of the era. Also - no AC back then so windows were very much functional appliances.

Double hung sash windows are especially popular in this era because they are designed to maximize airflow. You’d open the bottom sash’s on the cool side of the house to let cooler air in and open the top sash’s on the other side to let hot air out. This also creates an airflow across the home.

In a sense it's true, the western way of thinking is being exported and is dominating 'foreign' patterns of thought, subjugating cultures to one dominant, economizing mode of being.
America never ceases to amaze me. So it’s not ok to use « whitelist » or « blacklist » in your *source code* in xcode when coding in swift in case someone may actually be offended just reading those words, but displaying the symbol of nazis is fine, because hey, you shouldn’t impose your own cultural taboos over people with other backgrounds.

I think US will have to admit that they, too, just like every country in the world, have their own culture, with their own taboos and peculiarities, norms and habits, and accept for this culture to have some kind of special status over the other ones. Much like you find it absolutely normal and respectful to take into account the specificities of a country you’re visiting as a tourist.
In German, there are no two terms for those, both are called "Hakenkreuz". And the Nazi ideology actually made references to eastern culture and peoples, claiming that Germans were descendents of the Aryan peoples: https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/aryan-1

And while Nazi antisemitism was of course descended from the traditional christian antisemitism, there were also parts of the Nazi movement that called for a replacement of christianity by an "Aryan" or "German" religion, which seems to have been a mixture of Germanic/Norse religion and more modern esotericisms.

So yes, while eastern religions are blameless for what the Nazis made of their symbol, it also isn't of christian descent either.

Yeah, but Python is the slowest language ever. I think that a decent language like D or Common Lisp would outperform poorly written Rust, and they're easier to handle.
If the Nazis had used a common letter like Z, there would not be the same stigma attached to the symbol. That this is so obvious suggests your argument has a flaw.
P.S. Modules would also make a big improvement to C, proved by implementing them in the ImportC C compiler. Modules don't take away anything from C's utility.
And then if you get a new device, you have to somehow log in on that new device (with either backup codes, enabling TOTP or SMS 2FA temporarily, etc), and add the new device as an authenticator. And repeat that across every service. Same for new/existing accounts, people don't want to have to add every device to every service they use. Not being able to use your WebAuthn authenticator on other devices is an adoption barrier (as is the alternative of buying a hardware authenticator).
Observations from Australia's First Micromobility Conference
People generally look for work and immigrate to places with more opportunity, better pay, safety, quality of life. Americans generally don't perceive most other countries as significantly better for them, if they look into moving overseas at all. And we're trapped in a citizenship-based tax system that adds complexity.

Unlike Europeans and Asians, Americans can't get to another country by plane or train in a couple of hours. Only about a third of Americans have a passport, and that number only went up fairly recently because after 9/11 we needed passports to go to Canada or Mexico.

Personally I live out of the USA most of the time but I work for US companies. Jobs I've seen from foreign companies offer very low salaries compared to the US, and I have yet to freelance for a non-American company because of my US rates.

Whether language presents a real barrier or not (my experience as a native English speaker tells me I can get by almost anywhere), Americans perceive language and cultural differences as possible problems, again probably because few Americans travel overseas at all, and when they do they tend to stick to tourist-oriented destinations.

Anecdotally I made as many friends from Estonia and Finland as I did Americans, and many more from Germany, France, UK, when I lived in SE Asia. Even in Paris and London Americans seem fairly scarce compared to other nationalities, weird considering the US population compared to that of most other countries.

Wow, you'll have to provide some evidence of that in the past. I mean, sure, the US likes to surveil as much as the next state, but the US generally favors security over surveillance. Such a position would be wildly inconsistent. I just don't see that happening. Ever.

Keep in mind, a fair amount of overlap between US military and the US intelligence community. These are the people that build things like Cheyenne Mountain and Raven Rock and ARPAnet and fund lots and lots of computer security research. They are paranoid patriots. Some might be patriotic paranoids, but the general trend is "both". They don't want leaky machines inside their borders.
