>The insults are childish and prove that your arguments are completely unserious. Going through my post history just tells me this is more about elevating your own status and opinion than actually having a dialogue.

There's no dialogue to be had with someone willing to leave people to die in the streets because "hurr durr they should pull themselves up by their bootstraps". Debate happens with reasonable positions, not with the depths of human indecency and Ayn-Randish takes.

>Please go live in some government-run housing before demanding that the poor do so.

I have been poor. I did. As a child, I lived in HLMs, which have been in existence in my country since 1894. As a student, I lived in student housing, that has existence since 1955.

>And look up "luxury belief". :)

Believing that people deserve a roof over their head without paying half of their income to a leech that did nothing be born with money is not a luxury belief.

Oh yes, and landlords, generally, are renowned for stellar upkeep of their properies and prompt repairs.

Cheap rent and better-than-average maintenence are probably 1% of available properties.

Not GP, but single-use plastic bags have been banned in Indonesia too, and the shops/restaurants/etc now send you a new, substantially thicker, reusable plastic bag with every single delivery, with no convenient mechanism to reuse them. Classic case of excessive focus on one part of a much larger system.
"So many would say that it’s really convenient NOW we want to help all poor people, whereas in the past we made it difficult to help poor black people. It’s like, why do “all lives matter” now?"

Does historical injustice make it right to behave unjust in the present, almost as if it were a revenge? I don't think so.

I agree about importance of defining poverty though. Both income and wealth should be taken into account and taxed appropriately. It's not only a class issue, but also generational issue with lots of old people sitting on super-expensive property, while young families can't afford a home.
I live in NYC, and my UPS has been on battery for a total of 520 seconds since 2020 - that includes its regular self-testing. I don't think it's actually had a real drop-out since installation.

Your partner shouldn't be pressuring you into having sex; that's wrong of them, and you deserve better.

Your post: "Why would you want to run this on a modern high end PC or phone?"

Another post in the same thread: "In the real world, for this type of code ..., only a very small number of CPUs (Intel and ARM) and C compilers (Clang, GCC and MSVC) matter ..."

These posts are strongly disagreeing with each other but neither of you directly replied to the other, so I'm not sure if you've seen it.

I'm replying to you because I think, between the two of you, you're the one that's wrong and the other poster is right. The original announcement doesn't mention microcontrollers at all and does mention computer games[1]. Further, their defense for the endianness decision was simply that they like it, rather than that they expect any target CPU to be big endian. I think GP is right--this will almost never be run on a big endian CPU.

Indeed, the start of this thread was a piece of code that won't work at all on smaller microcontrollers. I think it's likely this code has never been run on a microcontroller.

That means Fortran has good odds of becoming the first "100 year language".
The problem here is that you are falling prey to the “it’s easier to destroy things than build them” phenomena.

You have to convince voters that they should support banning gas stoves and such. (Build things)

I don’t have to convince anyone that while the government is “taking away their stoves” so-called billionaires fly around in private jets and own dozens of cars. (Destroy things)

It’s just not effective. I want to see effective solutions, not ideological ones. Especially ideological ones that push people away from stated goals.

When fixing one gives you 0.01% and fixing the other - 99.99% you go for a second one to achieve any sizeable gains. Doing it the other way is only good for fooling people to gain some points in one's political career.

And you do not even have to fix second one completely to see positive results so it is not fixing everything at once.
Not this one in particular. It's your tone in this entire thread in general.
All large scale economic activity in developing countries like this is often accompanied with human rights and democracy violations.

This is a false choice really. It’s not lithium that’s causing this but the broken political system. I’m half Brazilian and just the other day I heard a mining dam break that led to a mass cancer in surrounding populations. This was Vale one of the largest companies in Brazil.

It doesn’t matter what’s being used, virtually everything that comes from developing countries causes gigantic crimes that are unimaginable to first world.

You’re selecting one specific product but it’s not logical to do so. They all cause this. And what’s the other option? Not buying products from developing countries?
>But many landlords are just normal people with other jobs, where being a landlord is not a job to them, but an opportunity to earn money by renting.While one should be able to expect them to know the relevant laws, I bet that most of them don't care to bother because of the time and effort it takes.

And you can't fire them for doing a piss-poor job. Do you see why that's an issue?

I mean, you're literally advocating breaking the law in order for already wealthy people to earn more money.

This claim has been contested a few times in this thread below.

Can you quantify this? How does this compare with the cost of replacing it all and powering it all with zero emissions power sources?
> wouldn’t it be better if the volume at least is shown on open exchanges?

Empirically, no. Large blocks of stock don’t have a liquid market. Forcing them into the open means chopping it into tiny pieces while using derivatives to hedge, for the sophisticated, and getting hosed, for the unsophisticated.
> So you go to the futures market and take a bet that the input prices will increase. If you’re right, you win $, which makes your widget manufacturing profitable and you’re still in business.

This isn't remotely how manufacturing works. Manufacturers are focused on making the widget, for them the most important thing is that material is available, not a paper contract.

That is fair and a trade off. That doesn't make the concept of private functions a bad one.
There will be no “real dent”. You have to make small changes along with big changes.

And banning natural gas piped infrastructure is an easy win.

1. No one is banning natural gas stoves. You can still use a natural gas stove. You just need to bring your own cylinder like most of the world and half the food YouTubers already do.

2. Natural gas stoves have significant indoor pollution impact. It’s a huge benefit even outside the climate change side.

3. Natural gas infrastructure is expensive, dangerous and unnecessary. Cities will benefit from the removal of all those pipes from under their streets even if climate change wasn’t a thing.

Banning gas hookups is such an obvious win (again, for those who want, gas stoves are still available with a cylinder), it’s remarkable to see the level of status quo bias that exists.

Thank you for this info. I had no idea. Makes sense.
Being legally required to do something as a landlord, seldom translates into something convenient or even in one's favor, as a renter. Most landlords I've ever had use "legally required to do so" as a way to do the bare minimum and let you initiate contact with a lawyer or court, thus dragging out whatever it is you think they're legally required to do.

I wonder if Carlsen will participate. I'm actually rather salty at him for forfeiting the title. If you are a chess champion, you have to defend the title until you lose, or die, whichever happens first. After he had refused to defend the title, it made the title of his successor automatically less worthy. That's bad.
(As of Jan 2023) Warren Buffett famously drives a 2014 Cadillac XTS and owns only one car. Famously, because most other billionaires have much flashier cars, and warehouses full of cars.

You may not feel the difference between a $50k car and a single $500k car, but having seven $500k cars, one for each day of the week, in different colors, just hits different. It's conspicuous consumption, even if you don't notice or care about the particular object of the consumption.

There are people out there with just so much money that you can waste money on every half a whim, and still have... pretty much the same amount left over. It means you can buy jewelry you might want and just throw it away like you're in Brewster's Millions. At that level, who cares about utility?
Sabine Hossenfelder is a "theoretical physicist and science communicator". (1)

I fear that her take on this issue will be pointless at best. It's not in any way in her lane; she will have no expertise here, no experience on who the bad actors are on that space.

I get that she has probably "done research" by talking to self-proclaimed experts in the field, but I would be very surprised if she has "done research" by having her name on a new study in this field, published in a reputable scientific journal.

That doesn't make the less-obviously traumatic incidents okay; they're still very bad.

There's nothing insulting to victims in acknowledging other victims. There is something extremely insulting to victims in refusing to acknowledge any harm to them if it doesn't meet your arbitrary standard for significance.

> What happened to the expectation of people being adults?

The below quotes from Haidt summarize the concept that culture at large is promoting an inverse of CBT. As a result the knowledge increasing method of criticism has been hijacked by folx channeling their inner Foucault.

CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). In CBT you learn to recognize when your ruminations and automatic thinking patterns exemplify one or more of about a dozen “cognitive distortions,” such as catastrophizing, black-and-white thinking, fortune telling, or emotional reasoning.

. . .

Greg hypothesized that if colleges supported the use of these cognitive distortions, rather than teaching students skills of critical thinking (which is basically what CBT is), then this could cause students to become depressed. Greg feared that colleges were performing reverse CBT.

Man that is not a great headline from Inside Higher Ed. In the discussion section the authors explicitly layout that this is a specific slice they are looking at not all of Academic Science.

"Before we summarize our findings below, we reiterate a caveat noted throughout this article: The failure to support specific claims of bias does not deny the possibility that broader, systemic barriers against women in the academy exist and/or that significant bias existed before 2000. We did not examine systemic claims of bias, such as the tenure schedule that imposes inflexible time-career paths or structural societal norms that burden women with greater responsibilities outside of their academic jobs or that penalize women for negotiating forcefully for wage increases or seeking outside offers. Other scholars have identified a myriad of such systemic barriers. But when it comes to specific claims about biased grant reviewers, search committee members, journal editors, and letter writers, the claims of antifemale bias were not supported, and in one case (tenure-track hiring), the data actually supported the opposite conclusion—that of pro-female hiring bias. This pro-female hiring advantage has continued after the closing of our inclusionary period, 2020 (Henningsen et al, 2021; Solga et al., 2023)."
This is a case where thought experiments based on your own assumptions just aren’t very useful.

It’s very way to end up arguing with straw men about made up categories.

What you define as “paper cuts” is probably very arbitrary and would differ significantly between individuals. It only makes sense in the context of an existing backlog of issues that is properly groomed and labeled. Otherwise you may as well just call them “pet peeves” instead. It’s totally subjective.

So whether they “matter” or not is really unanswerable outside of that context, and frankly not very interesting within that context as well. If they mattered they would already have been fixed…
I am taking the null position here. That the speculation market doesn't help. If something isn't helping and is extracting value from the market its by definition detrimental. The onus is on you to provide the proof for positive positions, that the speculation market does help.
OK, so it's a normal unix release, and uses proot for a virtual directory structure. It says it only uses the terminal emulator from termux.

termux doesn't use proot - its distribution has all paths rewritten (usually in source) to cope with the android filesystem (and other changes). I'm always surprised that this hackery works so well!

Therefore, I'd expect identical programs to be slower in nix-on-droid.
> it's insurance

What’s the person on the other side of the trade up to?

This debate reminds me of the lead up to the Onion Futures Act, where moral outrage over speculation led to a ban and subsequent lack of insurance (and higher price volatility) for onion farmers. To the point that the son of the farmer who first lobbied for the ban returned to Congress to ask for its repeal.

I do wonder if Fabiano Caruana (the commentator in question, world #7) is going to have some introspection following these events, because that pattern occurred several times during his commentary. He came up with endless (and completely valid) ways for both players to 'kill'/simplify/draw the games at various points, but the players chose far more ambitious routes ultimately culminating in the final game where it decided the world championship.

For some context here, Fabiano played a world championship match against Magnus Carlsen. Every single classical game was drawn, and he then lost 0-3 in the tiebreaks. Fabiano plays relatively weaker in faster time controls, whereas Magnus is also the strongest rapid player in the world by a fairly wide margin.
“are fine for a lot longer.”

My point is that “a longer” implies “when” rather than “if”. Everyone is replaceable, in the long run.
yeah I have haeckel prints on my walls... I had no idea.
But then again this makes sense because Nazism was influenced by a wide range of ideas, because it took cues directly from theosophy.
The author has come to the dark side. I’ve long advocated that paper cuts don’t matter. I don’t even think of fixing them unless it’s very cheap and safe to do so. Both cheap and safe are key. I’ve seen people fix paper cuts to only introduce a major issue in the product.

Now if it turns out that your highest priority issues are now just paper cuts, then congratulations!
It kills me to see people who insist on being surprised that competence exists. Every post, every article.

The Verve did preemptively approach the rights holders for The Last Time, but having cleared the sample they were then accused of lifting elements of the vocal melody and gave up the rights to get the song released.

Setting aside the validity of your claim that it’s just a “few Pennie’s on a thousand dollar expenditure (which I strongly disagree with…banning natural gas hookups would be worth it even if climate change wasn’t a problem).

Your argument basically boils down to “I’m in debt and need to start spending thousands of dollars less. Cutting out this completely unnecessary expenditure will only save me a few dollars so I shouldn’t cut out this completely unnecessary expense because it won’t save me all the thousands I need to save”.
Hilariously in NYC there's restaurants that only do that on their website, so you can go in blind, as the buyer, to how much you are going to spend :-)
The problem isn't the word "simple" it's words like "just". Within something complex, there can be a simple thread of reasoning that may not be easy to see and once communicated, everything takes shape and begins to make sense. That's worth communicating even if it's not easy to describe. Often that may be how the author came about the design. I wouldn't know how better to describe such a thing. Explaining all the complicated things that make the simple thing work ends up with the reader being able to agree with all the explanations, then wonder "yeah, but why do those all add up to do what it does?"

Tone of writing is important, but also a reader shouldn't assume that something that has a simple core is easy to make or later understand. I'd say it's more constructive to have your docs show how/why it's simple rather than make a statement and leave it up to the reader to piece it together.

What's a better word than "simple" that doesn't make it also imply "easy" to many? e.g. the elevator thought experiments of General Relativity are simple, but not easy to come up with or initially reconcile.

It was also extremely odd to me that there was no Chinese press there. Ding's English is not excellent, and to not be able to catch his first moments in his native tongue seems to have been a major failing of the Chinese press.
At my last job I supported a system that was largely built by one person over the preceding 20+ years. This was roughly his philosophy as well.

He told me, paraphrased since this was 20 years ago, "Whenever I'm designing a new feature, I always look at what needs to come out at the end, then I can figure out what needs to go in at the start and how it has to flow through."

This still sticks with me and serves me well.

Paywall, so couldn't read more than the first paragraph, but every one of these articles that doesn't put "because Apple intentionally breaks SMS usability, and Google is barely better" in the first paragraph is automatically wrong.

There's no social problem here, there's a usability problem. I'm a 40 year old nerd and I dread having to open the 3rd party SMS app on my android. (The official Google one won't even send an SMS, just gives me the "Couldn't send, tap to retry" error every time I try.)

And the fault is firmly on Apple and Google for having their collective heads so far up their walled gardens.
