>>At that price point, you can get a full power chip.

You see, this is the problem right here - you got it in your head that this isn't a "full power chip", whatever that even means. It's as "full power" as any microcontroller that has ever existed.

Once again ,it isn't meant to run an OS. The price is more than justified by the rich development environment with plenty of support(both official and community driven) as well as good connectivity options implemented directly on the board. The closest thing I can think of is a cheap ESP8266 board like a D6 Mini, but cheap chinese clones of that sell for £4 on ebay, barely any cheaper than the Pico W - an official D6 board is about £12, so not only it costs more - it actually offers less functionality and power.

If you know what this chip is for and what it's competing against, you'd see that in fact the value here is outstanding.

I'm as left leaning as they come and I'm also very worried and irritated by what is happening here. I hate that I have to make a new account for plausible deniability as well.

I don't really understand what doctors and a section of society is playing at. This is an issue that needs therapy not surgery.

It's tough but there is is, let's do some things to make you more comfortable and make life more positive.

See feelings don't have to be dismissed, but they also don't have to be pandered to. Using state funded medical services (or insurance funded if you're USA) is immoral imo. Sure if you're rich enough you can do whatever bizarre things you like to yourself, I don't care.
Because the 'actual numbers' were protested against even by the scientists on whose work they are based and represent (or rather misrepresent) what an industry that is constantly trying to cut corners does when there is enough attention and scepticism to go around to stop them before they do anything critically stupid.

In spite of various plant operators' attempts, no serious accident has ever occured because there are mass protests and an industry regulator which hasn't been captured (yet). There is no precedent for this ever continuing if a toxic industry is accepted by the public and every precedent of it turning into a relationship like chevron has with the amazon.

Solar is also front loaded, whereas nuclear stays an existential threat to an entire region for decades after decomissioning at the very least. The risk from plants that shut down in the 60s has not yet passed.

I wrote a novel, I know, every asshole has. About this. My theory, that is, either ridiculous or correct, the Silurians are the ancestors of the dolphin. The dolphin, or OK, the Orca, have a larger cerebral cortex than humans. What if, they were on once land dwellers, could it be? There is some science behind that. And say, they burned a bunch of hydrocarbons and caused a global warming, melted all the ice and they had to evolve to be ocean mammals.

I understand this is a sci-fi fantasy.

But my mind wanders, I think, let's say you understand your fate, once cast, how would you warn the next intelligent species to inhabit Earth?

You cannot simply place an odalisque with an inscription on it, of course, over the millennia or billennia, it will be erased, you send out a sentinel into space.

How would you warn the next iteration of intelligent life?

Perhaps some sort of AI space craft?

What if it turns out, they are the intelligent ones, having learned a lesson we have yet to learn?

> It's sort of like looking down a well, but it's well of time, where each time I look, the well is one unit deeper and there's another new snapshot of me looking down the well added to the top.

I had to go digging, but it reminds me of the novella Cascade Point by Timothy Zahn. In it, spaceships can travel through hyperspace, but skimming the edge of parallel universes in this way causes the occupants of the spaceship to see visions/hallucinations of their parallel-universe-selves standing nearby. Being able to see the various results of major decisions in your life -- some which lead to the death or grievous injury of the parallel-universe-self -- is quite a shock to most people, and thus it is customary for all passengers to be asleep for the hyperspace travel portion. But all captains are required by regulation to be awake for the transit, and thus in the story this captain must muse on his life-choices, alone on the bridge, because he runs a passenger liner.

It's a bit of a wooden, flat story, with a somewhat basic plot, but I thought it was a neat concept-and-consequence of FTL.

I find most of the opinions on that page are well explained, and they aren't spectacularly bold anyway. You will be hard pressed finding people that think locales are usable and most of string.h is not historical baggage.

I also learned something new, for example the thing about isXXX() taking unsigned values.

> finding one of the arguments exhibit a lack of good understanding of that thing raises an interrupt for me that its other arguments may also be flawed.

You could try the thing about reading in a benevolent way. Don't choose the interpretation that would most upset you.

From what I can see you found one nit where the author might not have a complete understanding on the issue, or maybe they just swapped the two arguments. (I'm not quite sure what that explaination was about, and I didn't bother to research. You're right of course about how fread should be used). And then you went back to HN to tear the article in pieces (btw. I find the post to be well above average quality).

As far as I'm concerned, this is strike 1 on my list.
> There is no reason a scheduler could not be totally lazy and only execute the coroutine once awaited.

Isn't the point of create_task (which is what the article is about) to launch concurrent tasks without immediately awaiting them? The example in the docs [1] wouldn't work (in the stated manner) if the task didn't start until it was awaited.

> At least he bothered to make note of TaskGroups [...] Yep, that's all there was to it.

That only works on Python 3.11, which was released just a few months ago. Debian still uses 3.9, for example, so the TaskGroups solution can't be used everywhere yet.

The payment processor itself would have perfect visibility into the revenue of the merchant, but that's already true today.

Sorry, I was not being anti-winery, just pro-statistics.

Yes, this is the study:
https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...

For individuals the stats are as you referred.

This is different thing than consumption in a population - if you increase the consumption in population only slightly it means some people will increase their consumption more and some less - and for those who increase their consumption more the mortality effects likely get worse.

However, as an additional data point, Canada updated just their recommendation of safe levels to two drinks per week or less https://ccsa.ca/canadas-guidance-alcohol-and-health.

If we observe the statistics of global alcohol deaths by country, there is a ridiculously high variance of death from alcohol
https://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com/cause-of-death/alcohol/b...

If you are from one of the low-drink-mortality countries then statistically I'm pretty sure alcohol in your reference population is far less mortality inducing than for example in my reference population (Finland) and I guess if the lancet type stats were collected from each country the number of "safe drinks per week" as a function of excess mortality would be quite different.

I guess your family is quite good at handling their drinking, but globally alcohol is quite lethal - according to WHO 3 million deaths per year (https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/alcohol). This is in same range as reported covid deaths in 2020 (3M) https://www.who.int/data/stories/the-true-death-toll-of-covi.... So alcohol roughly kills as many people per year as a global pandemic that just locked down half of the world for two years. But as we perceived from the above mortality-per-country chart, this is not evenly distributed by a long shot.

My intention was not to moralize, just to be clear headed about the stats. But the stats for an individual are quite different depending where you drink, I guess.

I've never met anyone so passionate about drinking who was not addicted to it. It's fun to realize a person can be passionate about it as a cultural and family tradition as well. Yes, I've met many an alcoholic, sadly. High mortality alcohol death country. In my reference population alcohol is quite lethal. That does not stop me from enjoying my drink now and then but I'm pretty coolheaded about the stats.

I realize you zeal came from a family tradition and this was a huge cultural misunderstanding - I wish well to your tradition and hope a plentiful next harvest :)
If you are looking for an in depth (pop-sci) dive into the mass extinctions in earth's history definitely check out "The Ends of the World" by Peter Brannen. It covers the five mass extinctions with a good mix of scientific detail and entertaining writing. IIRC it discusses the likelier explanations for Silurian extinctions including disruptions to the carbon-silicate cycle (volcanism -> fresh silicate rocks -> weathering removes CO2 from the atmosphere as ultimately insoluble CaCO3 -> global ice age), anoxia/CO2 drawdown caused by increased phosphorous and other nutrient availability, and others.

"The Ends of the World" stands out as a top disaster book along with Simon Winchester's "Krakatoa" and Sebastian Junger's "The Perfect Storm".

I'm struggling to figure out what you are trying to say, but I think what you are mostly taking issue with is the phrasing "culture in academia." Fair enough. I don't really believe all of academia is necessarily like this. Doesn't match my experience either.

That having been said, writing this off as "just stupidity" and "[not] a social current" seems too reductive. Just because there's a million poorly-written articles about how "wokeism" is ruining America doesn't mean that there is no discussion to be had about the deeper fringes of ideologies. The truth is that the description of the behavior of those students sounds like situations that I've observed too, not in academics, and while I do believe a majority of people find these situations frustrating, it still seems that nobody has figured out how to reel it in and stop it from happening. Especially the mutiny part. I sincerely do not believe that a majority of people would like to act this way, but I think a majority of people would fear to speak out against it.

My best attempt at drawing a conclusion is that people have become very paranoid and distrustful of one another, especially younger folks. I feel a great sense that people are constantly trying to signal that they are one of "the good ones," and maybe even a bit of resentment towards people who don't also put forth effort into signalling this. When it comes to discourse, it feels like even in circles that are less generally flippant, people have resorted to taking eachother at their worst/weakest interpretations when it comes to sensitive issues. Why? I honestly have no idea. I think the rise in mental health issues might account for at least some of it, but I'm not sure if anyone knows for sure why even that is actually happening. I can tell you that I don't believe it is a global liberal "wokeism" conspiracy. (I would, in fact, consider myself to be very liberal, anyways.)

Do I have any conclusion or point here? Not really. It provokes a lot of thoughts for me, but I have no idea what to do with them.
