I punched a teacher once in high school after he violently grabbed and yanked me. We just stared at each other, and then I walked away. I would have absolutely pressed charges otherwise.

As a parent now, god help any teacher that would dare lay hands on my kid.

Why do you have any less trust for what they're doing with your data on their servers versus what they can already do with it on yours? If you don't trust them to have access to your data, you should not use their hardware and you should not use their software.

Corporal is standard in the US as well, may be confusing the terms because "corporeal" does (loosely) mean "of the flesh" as well.

It's not. "Corporal punishment" is the correct spelling in the US, too.
You can! But as a bit of an Agile cynic, I find it quite funny that you literally have to accept that 2+2=5 to use it.

Corporeal punishment shares due process issues with the death penalty. If you beat the wrong guy, it’s harder to undo than unlocking the prison door.
Its corporal punishment in the US too. Corporeal means having a physical body.

> In the US we call this "corporeal punishment" or "spanking" and pretend like it's rare, no big deal, and maybe necessary.

To be clear, not everyone in the US feels this way. I'm shocked and saddened that it's legal in 19 states, and I would categorically not vote for anyone who I knew would support legalizing it in the others. The sad reality is that the political system in the US can sometimes make it extremely difficult to enact and enforce popular measures.
Your previous comment suggested nobody will develop that software because it has poor financial outcomes, that was what I was responding to.

Of course you're right in this comment. Just because something exists doesn't mean people will know about it or trust it. Relationships, support, marketing etc that businesses provide go a long way to helping adoption.
I'm very pro-encryption. I'm not convinced that sanctions against Tornado Cash pose a serious risk to E2EE or other civically important (necessary!) applications of encryption.
I think it's partly that, and mostly a reaction to the recession. We're a similar age and all my decisions and the decisions of my peers about what to do after high school were based primarily off of what we had seen during the recession.

I'm not sure if that will be enough to explain it in another couple of years though if similar trends continue, as it's getting to the point where college graduates will soon not have been old enough to remember their parents getting laid off and older siblings not being able to get their careers started.

If the current "tech recession" gets bad enough maybe things will even out.

Additionally, I'm not sure the financial reality of humanities degrees was always terrible. I haven't looked into it but surely there must have been a point where it was a more viable option? Otherwise it's tough to explain where the market for those degrees came from. That assumes that there is some sort of free market dynamic that impacts what people end up studying, which I believe to be the case.
I think it's mostly pointless in this day and age.

I'm just saying that it has a potential appeal for gamers too, so it's not just a datacenter type of technology that some nerds want to play with.

At the very least it'd make overclocking safer and easier, so any manufacturer making gamer type boards with a lot of overclocking settings in the BIOS should like the idea of it.

I don't think you deserve a down vote because it sounds like you mean well, but you're wrong: kids who physically intimidate usually do so because they face violence or threat of it at home, so it's normalized.

EDIT: I will fully admit however that I threatened and will make good on the promise to hit my toddler son if he runs into the street again. He has done this multiple times already after receiving verbal warnings, shouts, and removal of privileges. My naturally more obedient older child never needed more than a simple directive not do it. Go figure - some kids are different. I am sad that it had to come to that, but it's not a lesson I can afford to have him make mistakes on and learn slowly.
Check and see if any of the MUDs are still online, WoTMUD was tons of fun.
You're talking about overclocking the CPU. ECC is more relevant when overclocking the RAM itself, which also affects gaming performance.
From the comments my views will definitely be in the minority here.

Personal experience: Every school I attended through 12th grade had corporal punishment in place. In 5th grade I was punished by a Catholic Nun who broke a ruler over my hands as they were laying flat on the desk. It was deserved and fixed the problem at hand and by example to the other students. (haha no pun intended). I actually have a fond memory of it now as they made my parents pay for the broken ruler. We laugh about it now and then. It happened again in HS and remember being scared shitless because it was being administered by a teacher with a good rep for painful swats. It solved the issues that time as well. Neither instance caused any psychological damage to me(that i’m aware of) and helped keep our learning environment a place where people can actually go to learn.

Corporal punishment is no longer practiced in my state. I would support it if it came back. It’s an effective tool.

I know the answer is "no, not that either" but I'm still going to ask: What about sharing the spec of the Tempest's sysex format? Sure would be nice to have the opportunity to build a patch editor/librarian - but my assumption is, if it was reasonably doable to share information that could enable that kind of thing, that choice would have been made by now.

I treat the Tempest as a standalone instrument that happens to output MIDI clock. Nothing's gotten in the way of it being my favorite instrument (at least, once free-running LFOs were added - absolute game changer for claps and snares), and if I had a magic wand, the only thing I'd change is to make the 'noise' samples have a random start offset on the waveform playback (something I used to do with Impulse Tracker), which I think would eliminate the phasing that sometimes happens when two voices use the same noise sample. Maybe next time...
While I think corporeal punishment is wrong and should be outlawed, I also feel that there is far far too much leeway in public schools for disruptive kids. If a kid is causing ongoing disruption in classrooms it is time for them to be ejected from the school and become the parent and state government's responsibility to be put in institutions more capable of handling them. Schools are there for learning and not for babysitting disruptive children.
Never thought about this, but for teachers outside Mississippi, a job-gating question should be “have you ever hit a child”.
> Conflating spanking with "hitting" seems disingenuous.

How can you define spanking without using a term like "hitting?"

> it's fine to break the rules *if you're not hurting anyone*

seems odd to have the person in authority return the favor by hurting the kids as punishment
You can keep the features and just gracefully downgrade to level 2 when necessary.
> Fast - in many cases faster than Rust, although the difference is inconsequential relative to Python-to-Rust improvement I guess.

Do you have any examples? AFAIK properly tuned rust and c++ will perform largely the same. Actually, Rust should have a bit of an edge due to the prohibition of aliasing. In practice it can vary if a standard library implementation is suboptimal or the compiler has suboptimal codegen into Bitcode but that’s generally going to be rare these days I think.

> Richer offering of libraries for various needs than Rust, for you to possibly utilize.

Are you talking for computational chemistry specifically or general libraries?. Don’t know about the former. For the latter I’ve found not only are more interesting libraries available, there seem to be generally high quality versions. Additionally, “cargo add xxx” is infinitely faster than integrating some random third party c++ dependency. Not to mention that C++ falls on the floor if one dependency requires transitive dependency X and another (or you) requires X at an incompatible version? Rust handles that elegantly where two different modules can depend on the same package at different versions without conflict without you needing to worry about it beyond the size of the executable.

> Easier to share than Rust. A target system is less likely to have an appropriate version of Rust and the surrounding ecosystem.

Again, haven’t that found to be my experience. Rustup lets you obtain any version of the rust tool chain, no muss no fuss. Additionally, it does a phenomenal job of not worrying about which compiler vendor you’re using (there’s only one) and more importantly there’s no versioning issues with libraries written against an older version of the language - 2021 and 2018. Oh, if you’re on windows, you also don’t have to worry about whether the target person has the right c++ runtime library version installed. With rust they just run the exe.

If you write the code first and then the test, how do you know your test works? You've only ever run it against working code.

Like if there was a virulent disease for which there was a 100% cure, but you can't get the cure unless you test positive for the disease. I give you a test and say "Yep, test says you are healthy". Ok. What if the test always says people are healthy? "Have you ever tested an unhealthy person and the test detected that they were unhealthy?" "Oh, no, we've done this test a thousand times and it always says people are healthy!"

You write the test first, because your code does not yet have the feature that you are testing. Your current code is a perfect test for the test. Anyone who has done TDD for even a short amount of time has written a test that should have failed but instead it passed. Sometimes the was just a simple error in the test. You fix the test so it can detect what you are looking for (i.e. the test now fails). Other times a fundamental misconception was discovered that blows everyone's mind.

Edit: Language is a construct set by society. Merriam Webster states corporal punishment is the correct term, but corporeal is the word that means "of the body." Corporal used to mean of the body but is not used that way outside the specific term corporal punishment. Ignore the below.

Corporal is a rank in the military. Corporeal (pronounced something like core pore ree al) is having to do with a person's body, but isn't used in often outside of the phrase "corporeal punishment."

My Dad was a teacher in Australia when that kind of thing was still legal.

It was his first year of teaching (so he was about 22) and he only ever did it to one kid who was a notorious trouble making.

He was telling me just before Christmas that he still remembers that kid's name, and still regrets doing it and wishes he didn't.

> There's some law on the books (Texas maybe?) about it being a hanging offense to engage in cattle wrustling. Perhaps I'm remembering it incorrectly.

You are not wrong: "cattle rustling" is indeed still a hanging offense in Texas.

What makes this a bit interesting is that, technically, if you eat a steak and then don't pay for it, you have engaged in "cattle rustling".

So, dine and dash at a steakhouse could legally be punished by a hanging.
There are some people that are so divergent from understanding and being able to perform or at least emulate normal social behaviour that they become harmful and problematic. I watched one, quite closely, develop through high school. I can still hear his smug “nah” any time you said something he didn’t agree with. Well, not “agree with” but “that he knew to be universally correct.”

Ultimately he ended up unemployable and bitter while his family tripled down on him being the victim because of an Asperger’s diagnosis. Moved to central Canada last time I heard.

I think what I learned from the experience is at some point you’ve got to compartmentalize harmful people from your groups and inevitably a growing number of segments of society, even if that feels wrong in some way. It’s more wrong to let them perpetually abuse people.

Edit: I’m not going to litigate this. If you don’t trust me or don’t want to accept that this person was truly abusive and harmful, or if you believe that victims should be made to tolerate abuse, I can’t help you.
DDR5 will have some minimal ECC on the stick but critically does not mandate full runs to the CPU. Or in Wikipedia's words:

> Unlike DDR4, all DDR5 chips have on-die ECC, where errors are detected and corrected before sending data to the CPU. This, however, is not the same as true ECC memory with an extra data correction chip on the memory module. DDR5's on-die error correction is to improve reliability and to allow denser RAM chips which lowers the per-chip defect rate. There still exist non-ECC and ECC DDR5 DIMM variants; the ECC variants have extra data lines to the CPU to send error-detection data, letting the CPU detect and correct errors that occurred in transit.

So in some ways it is better than previous generations, but it gives vendors another excuse not to implement full-coverage ECC. That's my guess of why GP said it complicates things.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR5_SDRAM
Corporeal is an entirely different word, roughly meaning "with some form of body that can be physically touched". A ghost isn't corporeal, a human is. An ebook isn't corporeal, an ebook-reader is.

With auto-complete/spellcheck and neither word being used often, it's not surprising that someone would mix the two up.

I switched to LibreOffice. MS Office has regressed dismally since its heyday in the '90s, and now with Microsoft's offensive hounding to "log in with your Microsoft account" at every goddamned turn it's simply unacceptable.

I made the mistake of buying Windows computers for my parents, because that's what they're used to. Microsoft's execrable policies and design made setting these up a clinic on how to piss customers off. Widespread UI defects... bafflingly disorganized design... disregard for user selections... and then the continual hounding hounding hounding for a "Microsoft account." For months, my parents would occasionally call me because Office would stop working and demand credentials (mine, of course, since it was my license).

So I finally shitcanned all of it and installed LibreOffice and Thunderbird (which has improved drastically in the 20 years since I've looked at it). But I still regret not getting them at least one Mac. I have plenty of issues with Apple UI decisions, but Windows and Office are such a shitshow at this point that the Mac looks like a finished product while Windows looks like a failed project cobbled together from... I don't even know what.

You can't retroactively unimprison a man. The time you took from him can never be returned.

Anyway, consider this common scenario in America: A man misses his child support payments. Do you, fine him, demanding money he doesn't have, which should otherwise have gone towards his child support payments? That doesn't work. Do you imprison him for a month, so he loses his job and can't make future payments? That harms the kids he's supposed to be making payments to, but is a common 'solution' used by American courts.

Better to cane the man and set him free the same day so he can continue to work and pay off his debts.
Real world numbers are closer to 1 bitflip/GB/hour than year because bit flips are highly correlated.

“A large-scale study based on Google's very large number of servers was presented at the SIGMETRICS/Performance '09 conference.[6] The actual error rate found was several orders of magnitude higher than the previous small-scale or laboratory studies, with between 25,000 (2.5 × 10−11 error/bit·h) and 70,000 (7.0 × 10−11 error/bit·h, or 1 bit error per gigabyte of RAM per 1.8 hours) errors per billion device hours per megabit. More than 8% of DIMM memory modules were affected by errors per year.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECC_memory

A random stick of non ECC memory might be far above average or have several errors per minute, but you just don’t know.
I actually think there are plenty of legitimate uses of cryptocurrency, and that it is being used in those ways today.

I disagree that these two sentenves can simultaneously be true; punishment that is not productive is, ipso facto, not appropriate.

No, that's not what I'm saying. I think it's conceivable that with a great deal of effort you could build an open source system that is highly trustworthy. What I'm saying is that the gradient between "highly trustworthy" and "untrustworthy" is extremely steep.

But you can return the time unserved. It’s also easier to turn time into money damages than pain.
Corporal means “of the body” too. Though, as siblings comments have noted, in a less theological framing.
Please read the other responses to your comment and consider the possibility that you are wrong.

Hitting children is never OK regardless of the form it takes. Context makes no difference. There is always a better option. Hitting children is the recourse of the lazy and thoughtless. If you think you MUST physically discipline a child, it's because you haven't considered sufficiently many options and thought of something better. It is a failure of imagination on your part. DON'T DO IT.
