There are many arguments for longevity, even if it were temporarily for the rich, or those in advanced economies.

For example, people who live much longer would probably think about the environment on longer time scales. That includes climate change, pollution, resource exhaustion, and so on. They might consider helping to improve their society, because even if it took several generations they might live to see the benefits.

People who live longer can afford to make better long term investments, instead of trying to cash in on short get rich quick schemes.

They might take better care of their health, knowing that they're not just risking the usually healthy 20s-60s range, but a 20s-200s range, when doing risky activities. Those risky activities sometimes affect others.

People may care to invest in research to cure other diseases because more people will live long enough to suffer from them.

And so on...

I actually hate whitelist and blacklist for completely non-woke reasons. I find the terms confusing, and often misleading in operational contexts. I can't tell you the number of situations I've been in when one person's "IP whitelist" was a whitelist to block IPs and another's was to specifically let IPs in. I always insist at $WORK that we use descriptive terms (an IP blocklist, an account allowlist) simply to ensure there are no mistakes and that everyone agrees on what's going on.

I've worked on 3 Clojure projects professionally.

For background I'm a devops and software engineer and I'm comfortable with Javascript, Java, Python and C.

I am implementing my own multithreaded programming language and I have a switch based interpreter and a compiler that codegens for it.

I think other people's Clojure code is unreadable.

Clojure code resembles the author's mental model of the problem being solved. Which is often very different to how I model the problem to be solved.

It's not the complexity of Clojure codebases that I have trouble with, it's the syntax and the approaches to the problems being solved.

I would use LISP for AST generation and codegen but not for direct programming.
> I'm absolutely shocked that more money and time is not spent researching how to cure death by aging.

Faced with their own mortality, a bunch of aging billionaires and multimillionaires tend to pour money into longevity research. I'd be very upset if governments increased spending on fighting senescence today, instead of lower-hanging fruit .

I agree with the problem (getting distribution is not easy), but not necessarily with the solution (calling out anti-competitive practices).

If the problem is serious enough, the capitalist solution would be to develop a platform that solves the problem for independent artists. However, as others have pointed out, the real customers for Spotify are not indie artists but rather paying users, and established artists.

While it is tempting to blame platforms for commercial failure. One has two recognize the truth of the business: making music follows a long-tailed distribution, and ultimately the listeners decide who rips those benefits.
They're not even offended by this language.

>Let's say that truck roof covers about 41.5m² (the area of a standard 53' x 8.5' trailer roof). Let's further assume that 41m² of that is covered with PV panels. Using current technology (~21% efficiency silicon cells) and assuming standard irradiation of 1000W/m² this roof would produce ~200W/m² for a total of ~8.2kW. Add a 40' trailer (~31.5m² roof area, ~6.2kW) for a total of ~14.4kW.

So you're now pulling two trailers but using the watts/km for one. Also your panels will be fixed to the roof and not tracking the sun. you aren't going to get near 30% for them.

Blind people don't necessarily need to read the signs. If they're in a city like Toronto, they already know there are cross walk signals at all major intersections, and these always have buttons, and the buttons are almost always in the same spot (especially with newer signals, where the buttons are mounted on short posts immediately beside the tactile strips, rather than on the main post holding up the overhead signals). If I recall the signs do have Braille text, but even if they didn't it wouldn't really matter, would it? Either way they'll need to push the button.

Obviously there's much to laugh at in this initiative and a legitimate worry about thought being policed. That said, if you are open to changing your mind, there's an excellent 9-minute bit of stand-up comedy from Stewart Lee about political correctness you might want to watch [1] where he discusses why for example it's not "political correctness gone mad" to refer to a prostitute as a sex worker [2].

I do think the general impulse to try and create a kinder language is worthwhile, even if in practice it can spiral out of control due to virtue signaling and people with too much time on their hands.

I am a hang glider pilot in the US.

As the saying goes, “There are no bold and old pilots.” If flying and hang gliding teaches you anything, it is to take the right decisions within the framework of safety you have experience with. It’s a bit like knowing how to ride a bicycle, but you want to do a wheelie when it rains – not the right decision.

Circa 2022, the safety and community policing is strong enough to weed out non-safe pilots. I know pilots are as old as 80 years old and have been flying for 40+ years without incidents.

Breaking huge tasks up is obviously necessary to make any real progress, regardless of whether you're trying to estimate anything - even if it was my job as an individual to do the whole huge task myself I'd want it in digestible chunks that I could feel I was making progress with, but more realistically it's going to be split between several developers anyway. Determining how to do that decomposition into subtasks that are genuinely independent (and ideally can be worked on in parallel) is obviously a key challenge of large-scale software development, and there almost never no "right" answers as to the best way of doing so.
Interestingly if I've noticed anything is that once you split a huge task up in little ones and give each of those estimates, the total is often far bigger than you might have considered for the original task. And is more likely to be closer to the mark.

> I recommend using two tools together: Black and isort.

Black formats things differently depending on the version. So a project with 2 developers, one running arch and one running ubuntu, will get formatted back and forth.

isort's completely random… For example the latest version I tried decided to alphabetically sort all the imports, regardless if they are part of standard library or 3rd party. This is a big change of behaviour from what it was doing before.

All those big changes introduce commits that make git bisect generally slower. Which might be awful if you also have some C code to recompile at every step of bisecting.

> You're missing the point of the article, and I guess you're German because you feel accused of being racist, so you feel the need to defend yourself.

Yes I am German and I feel the need to defend us a bit, because the term German "Ausländerfeindlichkeit" is an unfair generalization that paints a wrong picture of Germans and I don't think that xenophobia is a main reason for worker shortage, even if that gets repeated often.

> The point is that Germany is having labour shortage while immigrants are out of the labour market, singling out an inefficient resource allocation.

One of the main reasons besides lack of qualification why immigrants are out of the labour market is that German "Bürokratie" (now this is self-evident) makes it hard for anyone who is not very proficient in German "Bürokratie" or has the legal status to get a job. However, in IT I see many colleagues with foreign backgrounds. Probably because it is easier to adapt IT skills to another country than it would be with legal or medical.

> Germany > the world, yes I've heard that theory. Until the world see it in practice with example like dieselgate, BER etc...

Yes and digitalization in Germany is a huge joke, but treating rich foreigners in German hospitals is indeed a growing market and the reason is perception of high quality.
This isn't a general problem, but I have been seriously burnt by a change from a minor version upgrade.

In 3.8 someone decided that they didn't like the way people were excepting the Exception for cancelled asycnio tasks. So they changed the cancelled task exception to inherit from base exception instead of exception. This meant a bunch of well used libraries immediately had a load of subtle bugs that in normal operation just didn't happen. I can't remember the exact details but I think when the bug did happen the task queue would just continue to grow until we ran out of memory.

This change wasn't a bug fix, more an optimization or an attempt to get people to code a certain way.

I'm all in favour of bug fixes, but Devs shouldn't have to worry about minor upgrades breaking everything.

I suspect the appetite has something to do with how ridiculous this whole thing is. Having a meaningful discussion about this is going to be very hard without occasionally bursting out in laughter.
https://gitlab.com/corectrl/corectrl should do it. I've got a 6900XT and undervolting works fine. So does core clock and fan curve, but memory clock has issues: https://gitlab.com/corectrl/corectrl/-/issues/139 (edit: that issue is closed, so maybe it works now).

As far as peripherals, sometimes it works better than windows and sometimes not great. I'd look up the specific wheel you plan to buy and see if it's supported or someone has built something to support it. For example, you've got piper (https://github.com/libratbag/piper) for Logitech devices.

There will be a well proportioned response, but it won’t be an actual SWAT team. There’s typically one such team per five to ten million people and they won’t move for a joke call.

But more importantly, with an order of magnitude rarer killings, there is much less of a “we’re at war with the bad guys” culture. In some countries discharging a weapon brings automatic suspension for the investigation, even if nobody gets hurt. Cops simply don’t tend get trigger happy in this environment.

No, that's not good enough, software (beyond epigenetics) is what matters here. I would say, that personality is the key thing that one might want to preserve. Ideally, memories as well, the more intact they are, the better.

If possible, running it on the original hardware (i.e. the same brain) will satisfy people who believe in continuity of consciousness. (People hesitant to use a teletransporter[0])

Even a computer-simulated mind based on a scan of the original brain would I think be more 'me' than my clone.

You are correct, this list is suggesting the casual is the problem. Eg, "oh my gosh, I'm soooo OCD about my Starbucks order".
Yes. And these duties can easily conflict (in which case preservation of life always has priority). Another reason to let a house burn is because there are still firefighters in there, searching for people.
The clothing of firefighters (at least the Nomex based used here) is extremely good at insulating from heat, but looses almost all protection the moment it gets wet, as the water starts boiling. Obviously that is extremely dangerous for the wearer.

This means that often saving lives and saving property can not be done simultaneously. Some time ago here there was a report about house ownwers getting upset at firefighters for just standing around "doing nothing", while their property burned, which happened exactly for the reason outlined above.

Bethany McLean is terrific. The guests are terrific.

Luigi... Not so much. Regurgitates Chicago School phrases, context independent, like magnet poetry for neoliberals.

Luigi's response to Cory Doctorow and Chokepoint Capitalism was lacking. Expects Cory to have a fix for regulatory capture, a problem which has confounded economists for generations. Then is unsatisfied with Cory's prescribed remedies, which adroitly side steps the damage. ("I don't want to wait generations for creatives to get paid for their work." Preach, brother.) Then, predictably, Luigi doesn't think creatives are entitled to any of the wealth generated by their cultural output, while parasitic corporate gatekeepers rake in billions from those same efforts. By mere virtue of being the rent seekers. (Ignoring one of conservative economics' central criticisms of capitalism.) Unironically, obliviously proving Doctorow's whole thesis.

Luigi is just so maddeningly, depressingly, typical.

So I just fast forward thru Luigi's blather.

I wonder why McLean suffers Luigi. Maybe her cunning plan is to let the vacuousness of Chicagoian School self-invalidate and she trusts her listenership to see thru the Great Oz's charade.
I'm not a lawyer, so this is not a legal prescription (I do not know who is legally liable in this scenario, I suspect it depends a lot on the details).

That said, it seems like for society to work as it does we need people to take some level of responsibility over their action and inaction related to account security.
