Your inability to work with Linux distros does not make Linux distros walled gardens.

Your argument would be equivalent to me claiming that the closed source nature of the average Windows software makes the software itself a walled garden. Except in the case of a Linux distro you are entirely free to modify it in any way you want.

The fact that more things work out of the box without much effort and with a GUI on Windows does not make Linux distros walled gardens.

And pretending that Windows allows you to install and uninstall things at will without any side effects is just naive and makes me wonder if you've ever actually used Windows that much. I've had more problems with broken windows installations due to incompatibilities between different versions of Microsoft development tools and frameworks than I have ever had dealing with issues with building and installing software on Linux distributions.
Right, I wasn't disagreeing. Just elaborating. Yes, I saw your point about freedom of speech protections.
The DOE absolutely has the skills to evaluate this. The US National labs have arguably the most sophisticated biotech research facilities in the world. I don’t think it’s as widely known as universities, but a large fraction of the worlds basic life science research is actually performed at the National labs. For example, the human genome project was mostly done by them.

We already know the conclusion of this story: right-handed DNA is what exists today.

The effort here is not to create a story blindly from known fundamentals into wherever that story might lead. The effort is to fill the gap in story from known fundamentals to a known conclusion.

We don't know if other circumstances could have lead to another conclusion, and that would indeed be an interesting question to answer. But we do know that the conclusion we are living in somehow favored right-handed DNA.

If this backstory leads to two potential conclusions - either left-handed or right-handed DNA, and not both - and we are already experiencing one of those conclusions (right-handed DNA), then it is OK for that backstory to be ambiguous. We don't need to prove the impossibility of the left-handed result. We only need to illustrate the impossibility (or unlikelihood) of both conclusions existing together at the end of the story.
Hum, maybe I meant the size of a key fob? It could be a bit thicker, I'd guess it would hold something like ~2000mAh. For just the radio, and for something that would be used only while on the go (otherwise you can use your home/your job connection), why couldn't that work as long as a feature phone, which could go for a week in a single charge?
Basically this. Companies go bankrupt or shrink in size if they do things like undervalue staff skills.

tbh I hate this approach of up-skilling / free trainings, all they are really after with this is squeezing every last bit of juice out of you so they can continue to consolidate job roles and make you do more with less, instead of hiring SME's for specific things, they have a jack of all trades working on an endless amount of items that use to require a team of 10+ people to do. Especially in tech roles.
> In RAII languages[0], you obviously don't need unrestricted gotos.

You don't need them for teardown, but they still make sense for retries -- cases where a procedure needs to start over after hitting certain branches, e.g. a transaction conflict. I think `goto retry` is a lot more readable than wrapping the procedure in `do { ... } while (false)` and using `continue` to retry.

`goto` works very nicely with RAII here in that it'll invoke the destructors of any local variables that weren't declared yet at the point being jumped back to.
Those boundaries are pretty stressful.
>The thing about the U.S. is it's not a handful. They have more guns in civilian hands than people. It would be very easy for U.S. civilians to arm literally everyone...

You're still labouring under the false assumption that, were an oppressive government to come to power everyone would rise up against it. That's simply not true. A sizeable chunk of the population would perceive said government as a "good thing" either because; it smacked down on some section of society they detested [cf. Nazi Germany and the Jews], they profited from its existence [cf. Nazi Germany and companies like Krupp, IG Farben, VW, etc], it elevated them from nonentity to a position of authority [cf. Nazi Germany and people like Heinrich Himmler, etc.].

And there would also be a sizeable chunk of the population who would just keep their heads down and hope that, if they didn't draw attention to themselves, they'd survive it all.

I mean that is pretty much what the current policing system depends on. Enough people who might be tempted to step out of line are just frightened enough of the possible consequences of getting caught, that the numbers who actually do transgress stay just about manageable.

How much more so would that be true if, instead of a "civilised" interrogation, followed by a fair trial and a justified prison term, the consequences of raising your head above the parapet were being dragged out of bed at night, whisked away somewhere to be beaten into confessing and then put up against a wall and shot?

I think you're massively under-estimating the number of people who would either support an oppressive regime, or would just knuckle under and wait for things to improve.

1) That's not a particularly great comment for these 2 reasons. a) the author engages in partial mind-reading by adding this "where the troll wants to hurt their online victim" b) responses to their comment laid out some arguably better terminology like griefing or cyberbullying.

2) My comment added something else that I view as important to this discussion for a tech audience (labeling things as trolling for the purpose of censorship)

3) While you did so very politely, I don't think it's the most proper thing to tell people where they should post, thanks.
> "The reason entropy was lower in the past is that the universe started out in a low-entropy state. The reason for that is still a mystery."

And my answer to this is the same. Unsubstantiated assumption that universe started out, and that its entropy at this start was low. In addition, it is not at all clear how this assumption helps us to explain that an isolated system could not have higher entropy in the past long before we observed it.
As president, the guy said a lot of things that were outright untrue [1]. By 2020, he had lost any expectation of credulity just on the virtue of his being president in my eyes, and in those of many other Americans.

Now, if he had claimed the virus originated as a Chinese lab leak, and the intelligence community came out supporting that contribution, then that would have been a different story. Information from these sources didn't start becoming public until 2021, and was still mixed at that point[2].

And thank you for writing the networking guide. I found it in my early teens when I was interested in learning programming and wanted to go beyond the basics to do some more interesting stuff.

It helped me write some chatroom bots for things like IRC and battle.net in the early 2000s, which fueled the hobby even more and eventually turned it into a very good career. :)

I agree with you but the sports metaphor undersells your point. Coaches usually don't matter all that much unless you are going from a truly terrible one. Bad management isn't like not a great coach, it like having a team where all the players are playing different sports, there is no score board, and people get paid based on how much the coach likes them.
I wish that Javascript was a proper language that included a Date type that was actually useful, and came with batteries included (like Python for example) so you could do something useful with it without having to find the latest popular library to do something with it.

I also wish that there were other languages running on the browser. Today JS is only popular because it has no competition.

> I don't think it very much matters what the "proper" symbol is if no one uses it and almost no one knows about it.

Well, they used the ⎇ symbol for the “Alt” key, which is also very rare, in my experience. But it is the standardized symbol. So I thought I’d contribute information about what the standardized symbols are, in the cases where other symbols were used.

You sound a bit like a language descriptivist, arguing that any word or spelling is OK so long as it is understood. I personally prefer standardized spelling and words being a bit more strict in their definitions. And, similarly, I give some weight to an ISO standard for keybord symbols, since such a standard does exist (especially when the author actually used one of those symbols already).

I am also loath to use company-specific words or symbols; I prefer neutral terms which does not have quite as much drift. I.e. I try not to “Google” or “Xerox” things. Likewise, I would avoid using a keyboard symbol exclusively used by Apple, since another symbol exists which is used by others.
Even then I still think it's clearer to put a `let` in the outer scope instead of putting a `var` in one of the inner scopes.
In Russia as well.
But that is a legitimate problem.

Using a language feature that is a known footgun (`if ...` instead of `if {...}`) without being cautious enough to avoid shooting yourself in the foot is not the fault of the footgun, it's the fault of the programmer.

Additionally, in the above linked case, the problem isn't a misused `goto`, it's a misused `if ...`. It would be just as problematic if they typed `cleanup_context();` instead of `goto fail;`, but nobody complains about cleaning up state, do they?
Cultural influences have, you know, influence. They aren't totally determining, people can push back and choose something else, but they're going to drive a lot of people to go with the flow. That has effects on the society as a whole, even if individual members have agency to not follow the social pressure.
"there's almost never entirely new process"

I agree, but in this case the only innovation I see is applying a known solution to protect large inductor coils (transformers, motors) to protect smaller, inductor coils (speaker drivers).

Apple can patent their actual model all they want (for example by adding the driven air as a cooling term), but the idea, generally, of building a model to estimate the temperature is prior art.
I'm curious, what features do you find useful in Python (to call it "batteries included"), that you can't find in JS?

I'm guessing this comment is along the lines of "companies don't pay for healthcare in Europe, so this doesn't apply", but there are other sources of overhead.

For what it's worth I have actually listened to the arguments that the other side had made, but I didn't want to focus on that in place of the stuff that I felt was missed.

It's easier to disable an effect (it's usually an engine boolean) than it is to run hundreds of thousands of miles of fiber optic cable. We can disable an effect in a patch cycle - and meaningfully improve accessibility for players.

Literally millions of people watch streamers play games. There are, at the time of me writing this comment, 4,800,000 people watching twitch right now (according to TwitchTracker) - that excludes Youtube Live, Facebook Live, Steam, etc. Many games (Five nights at Freddy's, Minecraft, Fall Guys) owe their extreme popularity to streamers. The issues here apply even to recordings of your game.

If you are ignoring streamers, you are ignoring a major part of your base, and an extremely public part of your base at that. You're also actively telling your players who need accessibility tools that you don't value them enough to invest some time over basic settings tweaks (that you should probably have anyways...).
In practice, right-wing support for Israel boils down to "God hates anti-Semites. God loves His chosen people." You'd think that ought to be pretty hard to square with a Jew-hating attitude, but politics is the farthest thing from rational thinking so at the end of the day anything is possible. It's nonetheless the case that most people in right-wing states are not anti-Semitic.
I think the most important part of these processes is to document what’s being proposed and have a period for comments / inputs. I also think it’s ok for a monarchy as opposed to democracy ruling what gets approved, assuming merit based is not an option.

In general merits (rationality?) can bubble up if it’s framed in correct way for upper levels (eg. risk, profit, time horizon), and can then sway the position.

But yes on average what’s decide at upper levels is gospel. But that’s how corporations function, and that’s ok.
Dude, even that comment could sound a bit ChatGPT-ish, but as you said, it's because of the tone and style expected when constructing an argument or exposing a topic in a certain group. It's mostly how you flow from one idea to the next, logically and in a timeline, without going back and forth, using correct punctuation.

That and just like culture; if you interact a lot with a group (and now add similar sounding LLMs to the mix) you end up absorbing characteristics of them, then imitating some without a second thought. That's humans, sorry if you wanted to be an AI.

It's interesting when I asked for style corrections on passages from past college essays or formal letters, ChatGPT sometimes makes a nice improvement and I could learn a thing or two from it, but it always ends up trying to add formalities and flow modifications that get in the way instead of being precise.
I think people could come up with more/better answers if you described your use-case(s) in generic terms. e.g. Is this for a small group of friends, mailing lists, feedback to businesses, anonymous tips to governments, etc...

> «if you use money — you are a capitalist»
I agree that programmers care more about what actually happens (and they should, when performance matters!), but this kind of analysis also involves future changes to the compiler unless it's a one-time job. Which sometimes exists, so check the assembly there and do whatever you need.

Straightforward and limited-scope code like nested functions tends to improve in performance over time, because it restricts possibilities better than goto. And it's more error-resistant to future changes for similar reasons. If your code has to last a while, you're probably better off having the safer one. Or maintain both, and use the safer one to validate the unsafe one, and choose based on benchmarks of the week - what was true when it was written could change with any version.

I haven't read his rant. If anyone was strawmaning, you went to Hitler, I was just trying to modify the example to better fit.

Good for you. Doesn't apply to me though, so it's obviously not a black v white issue.

Yes that's an issue. But is it an issue of poverty? A problem of racist police and courts? What? I disagree that slavery actually exists. I don't think prisons should exist as money making concerns though.

The thread of black -> poor -> drugs -> prison I'm not convinced needs to include black in there. And a healthy amount of personal responsibility for the people involved is also required. It can't all just be blamed on others.

And none of this requires a discussion of slavery. Fix the problem as it is now.
I find a little sad that many people could change books and sharing experiences with others with using tools such as chatgpt. Those tools could be used to not discuss things like education and guide people to follow the agenda of the fine-tunnings authorities.

I don't think you're negating what GP is saying. I like how managing engineers seem to be associated with coaching competitive players in sport. I think it makes a lot of sense, you get the same kind of personalities (team players, solo players, etc.), you have to deal with the different people temperaments, life, etc.

If I learned anything watching "the playbook" on Netflix, is that great coaches don't seem to follow any kind of playbook at all. They're flexible, and managed to create strong relationships with their managees over time, while forcing them to be team players.
OP this is the way. I’ve landed on all these same things. Will add a few more that you can’t buy , but should do to stay healthy:
1. Immediately attend to discomfort. This is your body telling you it’s hurt. Trying to power through it is going to risk more injury. Once you’re hurt the road to recovery is long and prone to re-injury.
2. Take breaks. Do some light stretching before and while you work. Less intensive, but more frequent gentle stretching has worked better for me.
3. Drink water. Take it easy on caffeine and booze.

Inflammatory response is complex. Do everything you can to avoid it. In my experience, long term use of anti inflammatory drugs won’t heal you and will cause other problems.

"Divisive" is a slur for dissent, so I'd avoid leaning on it too readily. That said, RT et al are a pile of state propaganda shit peppered on top with selected western dissenters to make it look like they are a legit alternative. Eating a pile of shit just to feel that peppery taste banned from PC media is not something I'd personally enjoy doing, but to each their own I guess.
You should watch "the playbook" on Netflix, I think coaches matter much much more than what you think, at least that's what I realized watching the documentary.

Yep. There is more than one terrible way to run a business.
It's completely justified, awesome and unavoidable it happened in my book.

Being racist is not an "inadequacy" or "mistake".

Certainly not in the context of how Scott Adams chose to air his opinion.

The guy is smart (intellectually, not emotionally) and doubled down on his sweeping allegations, stating that black people are dangerous and cannot be fixed.

No ambiguity in such words, no wiggle room to deflect to a less extreme position.

Anyone keeping in touch with the guy and accepting such bullshit will justifiably be seen as a backer of such a ludicrous opinion and have their own position on racism questioned.

Drawing a line is so important.
