"That's just your opinion man" is kind of disrespectful. Jesus was disrespecting dude by saying "I'm gonna kick your ass," and dude was responding "you're wrong, but it's not worth a serious response." It's casually dismissive. If Jesus had gone on further, the next response by dude might have been an exaggerated eye roll or "uh hu, sure buddy" communicated sarcastically.

It's like saying "your opinion isn't worthy of attention/response."

It's appropriate if someone is being aggressive towards you, but not in a discussion and certainly not in any kind of setting where there's a hope to reach consensus or change someone's mind.

Alupis isn't understanding that the slaves in the American south had a "job", it was being a slave. Anupis can't get past the idea that "job" is a description in the same way that "slavery" is a description and if you look at what it means to be a slave (to not have freedom), and what it means to have a job (to get things in return for work), you can get resources for your time (having a job) while also having no freedom (being a slave).

The name for this is "wage slavery": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wage_slavery

The original post I was responding to made the assertion that all jobs are good, but failed to understand that wage is not a measurement of labor or value produced but a measure of relative power. The original post I was responding to was asserting that a laborers power increases as there are more jobs and therefore more demand for labor, which is true. They failed to understand that unionized labor has all the same benefits, but a better distribution of wealth and more freedom. Unionization values labor while "more jobs" framed discussions values capital.

The top post in the thread was saying we are having a discussion with "job" based frame rather than a "labor" based fame.

Does the job provide value, or does the labor provide value? If labor is where the value is then why is the value of labor so low?

By choosing to frame the discussion around jobs, the person has chosen oppression of workers as a consequence whether they understand why that is or not.

The deeper you look into Urban Alchemy the weirder it gets.

They aren't licensed private security. They not only hire formerly incarcerated people but actively seek out people convicted of "murder and attempted murder". They're run by a white woman who identifies as a member of the Black community. She has a budget in the high tens of millions. She got her start under the mentorship of an sF official convicted under federal corruption charges.

They refuse to accept responsibility for the actions of their employees. One example I find particularly striking was their response to an employee attempting to murder someone with a gun on break.

> That incident didn’t have anything to do with Urban Alchemy. That [was] a personal beef that existed before he was employed. He had just been hired two months ago.

If you actively hire former murderers I'd expect you to have a proactive plan to prevent this sort of thing from happening, not just say it was a preexisting beef.

> One of the most dangerous things in government is making a cult of personality around the head of state. Having it be a powerless figurehead takes the bite out of that.

Not really. The cult gives its focus power regardless of the formal structure; that's the point. And in the case of England, the formal structure still supports the king! Forming a personality cult around the King of England is more likely to lead to the King of England reclaiming a lot of power people thought he had lost long ago than it is to defuse the cult when they learn the king isn't supposed to use his formal powers.
That's a great idea. I don't want to end up turning it into a MMO, but I've always loved how in some roguelikes you'd encounter a ghost of a past character.

I did have this story draft in place about encountering past cursed adventurers who could act as mentors or enemies, or finding places that were already looted. So that might be an interesting way to work that in.
humidity is one of the bigger factors when it comes to heat because sweat doesn't evaporate. It's why heat feels much less bad in desert regions, so likely depends where you came from. Spain's quite a bit more humid than Northern Europe. Worst in my experience though is India. Heat there feels like you're trapped in a washing machine.
Well, that's a bold move.

But network transparency has not been true since forever — unless you are using XMotif, almost every framework renders using the GPU, so you end up transporting a bunch of pixel data slowly over the wire — VNCs are much better at this problem then the naive approach.

There is a beauty to its design, but it longer fits the current model - if you are really looking for the legacy of its design, it would probably be the web — thin clients rendering based on short instructions emitted by remote computers.

They're successful mostly because (many) end users ignore patents; at least the ones that don't work at large companies with dedicated legal departments (and targets on their back because they have actual money).

Further, that's why Vorbis, VP9, AV1 etc, show less adoption, even though they're free, for end users the other formats have been baked into hardware that only works with the closed ecosystems and the average guy can ignore the patents and continue to work with that non-free ecosystem.

Personally I've found Python to have significantly fewer foot-guns than bash.

The biggest reason why I don't use it all of the time is that calling / piping commands takes a lot more typing, so it's easier to use bash for very simple shell scripts. And while there are libraries that simplify shell scripting, that adds external dependencies to your scripts.

Interesting! But the article is a good example of academic overthinking. A lot of theories mentioned in the article would not survive Occam's razor. There is the strong wish that everything ancient was meaningful, when a perfectly fine explanation is that it is a fun play with words. Maybe a very early and slow-traveling meme?

Correct. Also it was said by a lone developer a couple months after starting a hobby project. To expect that throwaway comment to mean anything after fifteen years and a 2.5 billion dollar acquisition is simply unreasonable.

> where things get easier if you just switch to a language with less caveats (like Python).

For general, non-domain specific things, it gets IMO easier by two main reasons 1) obviously when using tools where one has more experience with, but 2) also when the tool is more widely available, and POSIX shell is probably one of the most (by default) available interpreters with a somewhat human-friendly input mode there is. I know if I write a script or some functions in POSIX shell I can copy it and run it wherever I want (besides Windows, but don't really know anybody close to me that still uses that, especially in a server environment). Sure, if everywhere you want to run it python/perl/... is just available, or simple to install (i.e., any modern Linux or *BSD distro), then the second point hasn't that much weight anymore besides maybe for minimal Alpine Linux CTs (< 8 MB for a full fledged distro!).

> I mean having a '.' in the string does make it a non-integer, but what about other floats like 2e3?

They use the printf "%f" float format conversion so `printf "%f" 2e3` will work just fine, whereas using something that definitively is not a float makes printf exit with an error code as it fails to format the value as float, failing this check.

What in your estimation are the actual pain points of Lisp?
The never released AAA, unlike AGA, had non-planar aka packed aka chunky modes.

CD32, unlike A1200/A4000, had an extra chip handling many tasks specific to that console, and that chip also had specific hardware for planar to packed conversion.

I'm not sure about this example.

It basically shows that if you use automatic VLA you have can do some checks on VLA.

But if I prohibit automatic VLA altogether and use fixed size array, I don't need to worry about that at all and the example falls back to what I presented with UBSan doing just its regular thing.

Yes, that's one way to see it.

But Minecraft is likely to be what Notch will be remembered for, yet he doesn't even own the rights to his own work anymore.

If that made him rich, it'd be one thing. But as he was already rich... was it really worth it? It might be something that torments him for the rest of his life.

This has some parallels to Palmer Luckey's Oculus sale to Facebook. We already know he regrets doing that. Some promises were already broken; FB got him really good.

It is unfortunate, but the field psychologists employed by Facebook got him to sell Oculus. Not unlike Faust and Mephistopheles.

It would have been no different at any other university. When anything goes wrong with science, safety related or not, the universities and other academic/governmental institutions always protect the professors. Always. Including if the professors have been engaging in fraud. It's a cultural problem in which academics are afforded far too much respect and allowed to do their work with effectively no oversight.

I agree with the first half of what you said, but for people considering MineClone2, be aware that it doesn't have the same mod support as the base game, and so modifying it doesn't always work well. It also adds some of Minecraft's limitations that were otherwise missing in Minetest, such as a more restrictive height limit in both directions. You can normally dig much much deeper and climb much higher in Minetest than Minecraft, and I think this is one of the cooler parts of Minetest.

MineClone2 is fun if you know Minecraft and you want something ready to play immediately, but if you have a background of playing modded Minecraft, don't expect to be able to take all the cool Minetest mods and slap them over MineClone2. This means you're playing a clone of vanilla Minecraft. For many this isn't very fun anymore. You'll probably want to start from scratch and build on top of the default minetest_game to enjoy all the cool mods out there, such as df_caverns.
I tried feeding my ASUS Zephyrus G15 (GA503QM) 5V over USB-C once. It discharged faster, because it decided “hey, I’m plugged in, I can consume more power”, and even my attempts to reduce it by controlling the CPU’s power limits (which absolutely reduces its consumption when unplugged) didn’t make it discharge more slowly than not being plugged in.

I think I estimated it was getting around 1.5W (by putting it to sleep for hours and comparing the small amount it had filled by with the drain of a similar period unplugged), though the wall adapter is rated for 11.5W (5V/2.3A), and certainly charges a phone at about that.

This is the same flawed argument against software piracy, but even more absurd. Just like piracy, this is a service problem.

Some people refuse to be forced into the transaction of selling their attention to consume advertising. Being psychologically manipulated is not worth it, and certainly not in exchange for some digital content.

If content creators understood this, they would seek out alternative business models to capture this demographic.

If they want 100% of their audience to pay for their content, they should go on a different platform and put up a paywall. You can't simultaneously want the exposure that "free" access gives you, while objecting when people choose to not participate in the business transaction you've forced upon them.

What advertising does is introduce a sleazy middleman that gets rich by tarnishing the end product and harming the consumer. Then the platform that hosts the content decides how much of this wealth gets trickled down to the actual creator, who is then annoyed when it's not enough, and blames the consumer for it.

How about eliminating the middleman and producing something people will choose to pay you for directly?

Python stops on errors.

Bash may or may not. It depends on how your script was called. If your script is sourced you need to remember to set and restore the flags.

In bash your data can accidentally become code. "rm $fn" usually deletes one file, but it might one day delete a few (spaces), or wildcard expansion makes it delete many. With Python, calling the function to delete one file will always delete one file. Your function will never run with a "continue on errors" mode.
