Lol I call [bullshit](https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/100215/why-cayman-i....)

Not surprised the person "who has structured several hedge funds" is spreading misinformation about finances and taxes.
Yeah, DANG and SAMA and PG all know me.. I am kinda thorn they hate to love...

Ive been here 17 years, and I prick them in the ankles often....
1. Marijuana isn't legal in most of Europe. It's been decriminalized in a number of countries. On the other hand, it is legal in around half of the US, and decriminalized in much more. So let's focus on real, hard drugs. How much of Europe has legalized heroin?

2. Nobody needs it. What they need is proper treatment for gender dysphoria or autogynephilia. Unfortunately, the entire discourse around this subject isn't a conversation but a struggle session where mountains of legitimate scientific criticism are silenced.

> This is basically a made up propaganda-talking-point that literally has no influence on my or your life at all

I thought you were a leftist; why the radlib talking-points? Of course nobody's actions occur in a vacuum. Everyone's life choices affect everyone around them. Antisocial behaviors should be discouraged, and prosocial behaviors should be encouraged. And it is quite a large social phenomenon in the United States.

> There have been studies that show links between the feeling of disgust and right wing ideology.

This is just silly. There have also been studies linking "leftist" ideology to dark triad personality traits, but does that have any bearing on whether or not your argument is correct? Besides, disgust is a normal, natural reaction. It's evolutionarily beneficial. I don't know why you think smearing your opponents with a healthy trait is a winning strategy.

> Because our police for the most part doesn't execute people without trial and they serve and protect instead.

This shows your ignorance of the actual situation in America. Unjustified police killings of civilians are vanishingly rare. To put it into perspective there are around 150 shootings of unarmed people by police each year. This is certainly going to be higher than in your country, but our violent crime rate is also certainly much higher, necessitating more police action. This number doesn't take into account people who were struggling to take an officer's gun and other mitigating scenarios. You reference "bigot cops", so I presume you're referring to the BLM narratives. There is a racial disparity in absolute numbers, but when controlling for all such mitigating factors, it actually reverses. Police are less willing to shoot black suspects because they know they'll be under the microscope much more than for shooting white ones.

But anyway, like I said, we can put a number at around 150. On the other hand, we had 1,200 children age 6-17 on puberty blockers 4,200 on hormone treatments, 282 receiving mastectomies, and 42,000 total diagnosed with gender dysphoria in 2021. That last number had doubled since 2017. Based on projections at the time, all are surely much higher now. So which of these is "basically a made up propaganda-talking-point?"

In the end, your rebuttal boils down to "my country doesn't have the same problems yours has, so we haven't tried fixing them." But it seems confirmed that your country hasn’t legalized drugs, doesn’t have a massive social push for transgenderism, and hasn’t defunded the police.
It is what actually happened, and it is an accurate take. Your opinion or feelings about it don't change that.
I don't want my battery popping out everytime I drop my phone ...
FTP isn't disappearing and I'm pretty sure the US healthcare industry would find a different way to transfer files instead of disappearing.
I live in British Columbia and BC Hydro (a government-owned utility, thanks to our right-wing Social Credit party, which bought out a private supplier in 1961) is the best. Service is amazing and rates are great. Apparently, government ownership doesn't have to be disastrous.

P.S.: I know that a party called Social Credit doesn't sound right wing and does sound like a Chinese Communist Party plot. In reality, it was a conservative party run by a small-town hardware store owner. Don't ask.
Never heard "ShareAlike" either, and it sounds like a proprietary file sharing feature for phones or something.
I just say open source and everyone has always known what I meant.
Perhaps route alone would be a pretty good indicator on account of degrees of recreational legalities?

SFO to Miami would likely have higher rate than a flight to Denver.

Well, to come up with the applications, you just have to go back to the original rationale to use computers: to automate the generation of some kind of answer to a question. The automation should be either equal to or higher quality than a manual alternative, or so much faster and cheaper that lower quality is acceptable.

When we look at that in terms of service interfaces, it's an attempt to black-box some part of answer generation, to say "this other party will do that"...which means that it's orthogonal to the answer itself. The most direct way to get good answers would be to already know them, and everything else, like the question you ask of an interface, is secondary. Interfaces tend to be a point of friction to accessing answers because they have to assume in some sense that you know what you want to ask and how you want to phrase it. If you got the right answer from asking the wrong question you'd be extremely pleased but also confused.

So it helps to establish concretely what kinds of questions are asked for each application, and turn those into interface specs. That's where a lot of the design challenge is - capturing the question/answer cycle succinctly, without overgeneralizing.
>but I can’t figure out how to make a user’s server choice actually meaningful

in theory, the instance-specific bit of it is the moderation. the one you sign up with chooses which other instances to federate with, as well as how to moderate the content on their own instance. in theory, you could sign up for an instance that only allowed the sort of politics you agree with, or that had very lax moderation, or that had very strict moderation.

unfortunately, none of the fediverse seems to actually talk about this so without signing up and using an instance for a while to see what the moderation policies are like there's no way to know.
From an entrepreneurial standpoint, they created a 10M ARR high risk business but highly liquid business with little loans and minimal leverage. What have you accomplished?

All joking aside, I think it’s quite rude and elitist to imply something about someone’s intelligence just because of their chosen occupation. My dad had a Master’s in electrical engineering, brilliant at maths and physics, and was top of his class at university. As an immigrant he could only find jobs doing manual labor and whatnot.
> If they actually throttle them during peak usage aluminum plants should get a discount.

Why? They could build their own power source.

That said, I’d like a discount when my internet line speed drops below advertised due to everyone else using the internet.
I just added that in my experience A doesn't really exist. I have seen plenty of companies that pretend they have an A-policy, but none that actually do. Believing companies when they say you get a promotion when you perform at the next level is naive.

And even if it's true - which you shouldn't believe without proof - strategy B is still faster than following strategy A.

Only strategy B is reliable.
I get the flex this affords, but I can't think of anything less appealing than spending 8 days underwater in a tiny capsule. I hope they're found and nothing happened.
I'm not sure if I'd judge it as harshly, but you have a good point: A lot of debugging / validation tooling understands threads, but not memory shared between processes.
Just a reminder that if you want to prevent theft from checked luggage on domestic flights in the USA, check a firearm in your luggage. TSA tracks those bags very carefully and they won't steal from them (or let anyone else do so either).

Learned this from a musician friend and have since learned it's SOP for people who have to check expensive gear (photographers etc).

Sounds like you don't know it will bounce? Which is a different scenario.
CMP is owned by avangrid, whom I believe is a company based in Spain. As someone who lives in Maine, I can promise you that their services are lacking and they just raised prices 45% on supply side in January(ish) and are talking about a similar price increase in their delivery side coming up soon.

They are also doing everything they can to combat people installing solar. Alsoz the past few years people have seen 400% increases on their bills, and CMP suggested to the individuals that saw this spike to perhaps limit their consumption, and stuck people with the bills. 2 years later oops, turned out our new billing system wasn't working correctly, hence the insane bills some people were getting.

My friend had a $25 a month typical bill balloon to nearing $400, with nothing broken (ie hot water heater) and no change in usage. Many many people.

The license plate on one of my cars reads Agorist, and I'm honestly STILL learning towards the idea of the state run utility, because AT THE MINIMUM, the state has to deal with the situation they cause if they fuck it up royally.

Spain doesn't have to give a shit.

It's a really terrible company to have as your power company. (The linemen / crews are all super nice typically, it's the corporate side of it that's a nightmare).
No, long term, web apps are more expensive because the front end needs to be completely re-written ever few years. A desktop app written in Qt can be kept running for a decade with very little work. (This assumes no Qt library upgrades, which for in-house apps, are most unnecessary.)

The primary advantage of web apps is "zero install", which is a major point of friction at large corps.
Composites can be tested. Not as easily as metals can be, and it involves a lot more software analysis and even AI, but it's still possible. I work on flaw detection/segmentation with ultrasounds -and I have not directly worked with metal scans so I can't exactly compare- but we can already get some pretty good results with the right probes and scanners. The other major issue is that NDT on composites needs more care and time from the inspectors on the ground, and might need a lot more organizational resources to track and make sense of the data.

But now that i think about it, I have no clue about performance or even feasibility of testing carbon composites. I'll have to ask around, but I'm pretty sure we have clients that use our hardware for Carbon! :)
I bet you're a big fan of low head dams :-)

Markets don't work well for power distribution because there's fundamentally a natural monopoly.

Unless you think we should allow each distribution company to run their own set of power lines down your street?
FTP did have some odd features that were useful at times.

The SITE EXEC command allowed programs to be run remotely, with their output filtered back to the client.

The proxy command allowed functionality similar to modern jump host ssh.

Of course, anonymous ftp has no equivalent in ssh/sftp.
yeah the robustness of the collector is a big deal. I spent my first years in the tech sector working with a closed source agent, it was impossible to get half the features implemented, even with a dedicated team, that customers requested. With the OTel Collector it feels less like a few single-purpose features and more like a universal harvester.
Well since circa mid-2010s the Internet is apps. Or app-like centralized web sites (like Hacker News).

People want to install a single “Lemmy” app on their phone that shows them all Lemmy content and lets them post to all instances, using a single account and a *simple* user interface. If Lemmy cannot provide that user experience (abstracting away the federation), then yes it is doomed.
Idk about a blog post, but he did a talk along those lines at the most recent NixCon: https://youtube.com/watch?v=asc1D5yPZhQ&

I'm taking that approach with the package I've been working on, which has a somewhat pathological (by Nix standards) Gradle build which does things like

- manually download a copy of Elastic search outside of the normal Java dependencies scheme
- run NPM to fetch remote libraries to build web assets at build time
- *also* run Yarn, for some reason
- use Git at build time

The ways it does all of these things are actually fairly thoughtful (for example, it does checksum the artifacts it manually grabs at build time to verify their contents), but they don't play nice with running builds in offline mode or under a user that has no $HOME. But it's one of those freeform 'my build tool configuration is a weird DSL in an imperative, general purpose, Turing-complete language' situations, and I'm not very familiar with either the language (Groovy) or the DSL. So it's a lot of quirks to cope with.

I've made quite a bit of progress in building it from source by making a few small patches and eventually disabling the sandbox for now, but it's still dying on a weird test failure for reasons I don't yet understand. At this point I'm just back to munging the binaries provided by upstream because I was mostly building from source to learn about the project and how it's distributed/deployed anyway.

I messed a bit with gradle2nix for a better-behaved, old school FOD-based build with Gradle in offline mode, but that was pretty brittle as gradle2nix is unmaintained, and due to some design limitations it couldn't actually capture all dependencies. I'm kinda interested in working out something better but on the other hand, this is a third-party package and I don't myself use Gradle or Groovy for any kind of development, so mastering Gradle's quirks and wrangling it into the Nix sandbox for this package is more of a yak shave than a practical skills investment for me.
I'm pretty sure that example won't work and is based on an old version.

But assuming a javascript implementation where it works, I don't know what you mean by "language rule". The spec says what "using" means, and it doesn't require any behavior the language doesn't already have. The old spec said "When try using is parsed with an Expression, an implicit block-scoped binding is created for the result of the expression.", and the new one says "When a using declaration is parsed with BindingIdentifier Initializer, the bindings created in the declaration are tracked for disposal at the end of the containing Block or Module". Then the spec has an example implementation written in javascript, with the value being added to a (non-user-accessible) list. https://github.com/tc39/proposal-explicit-resource-managemen...

Is that the language rule you wanted?
I'm not really that pessimistic about the future of "story driven blockbusters". Especially when they are relying on existing IP's to drive them some 80% of the time. Uncharted was probably the last really successful original IP of that moniker and it came out 2007, at time where games wanted to showcase the advent of what we now know as modern 3d graphics.
You just redefined private property and capital from base principles. There's exclusivity, freedom of use, and protection.

You're not actually proposing an alternative. You're "comparing" a word with its definition. The difference doesn't exist
Good point. You could also have the system create the entities on-the-fly if necessary by calling a function. But having them there in the prompt as a structure it's supposed to adhere to some degree makes it more consistent and would give it tools such as for dice rolls or a precise inventory and game state database etc.
let me be naive : carbon fiber composite is about tensile stength, not compression strength ? what happens in the ocean ? compression...
I'm all for a replacement for Twitter. The changes made by Elon has made Twitter so unbearable. The pay to win aspect of promoting tweets showing up on For You page and replies is absolute cancer. The For You page is literally unusable if you don't want to rot your brain. Before Elon made changes, I barely had to block people. Now I have to block people all the time just to try to make For You page worth looking at.

The ads on Twitter are almost always scam products. Some of them even have community notes saying it a scam product yet they are still showing the ads lol.

The old twitter was great once you figured out how to use it, but that all went away once they started promoting only tweets/replies from paid users.

I just want to follow some topics and people and get tweets related to that like you could with the old twitter.
The robbery smells like a few too many people knew what was happening and wanted their own taste of the action.
Elon already banned at least one user that was highly critical of him...
If you extend the `catch` matching to compound values this isn’t even that bad.

let fizzbuzz = func(fizzbuzz, x, max) {
try {
hurl [x % 3, x % 5];
}
catch ([ true, true]) { print("FizzBuzz"); }
catch ([false, true]) { print("Buzz"); }
catch ([ true, false]) { print("Fizz"); }
catch ([false, false]) { print(x); }
try { hurl x; }
catch (max) {}
catch (x) {
fizzbuzz(fizzbuzz, x + 1, max);
}
}
Generally they will handle this case with a diagram of both depths of bolts with one of them being circled and crossed out to designate which to use.
> I guess this assumes the stack goes down, but this direction metaphor in stacks has always confused me. What's up and what's down?

The stack starts at the end of a process's memory space, so stack frame 0 has the highest possible memory address (ex 0xFFFF) and further stack frames have lower memory addresses (ex 0xFFF8). Now combine this with the fact that many visual representations of memory space have 0x0000 at the top and 0xFFFF at the bottom and the stack grows down by growing up and it all gets very confused
I don’t know what CGA means in this case, but you don’t have to match colors if you’re concerned about colorblind ness. Distinct art styles are a standout in many extremely popular indie games (Cassette Beasts just came out with a ton of fanfare and distinct style, Cult of the Lamb is also a new indie game with distinct style, Cuphead if you want to go back a few years…)
Success has a thousand fathers but failure is an orphan.
yes, And I am saying that it is not unreasonable that the bank should have to pay back individuals with assets for sale before covering those without assets.

It all comes down to priority in asset recovery.

There is no moral, philosophical, or biblical truth that FDIC insured depositors must be paid out first. It is just as conceivable to have a system where customers with both bank assets and debts have higher priority to recovery, at least for to funds recovered from their assets..

Many LLMs are overly verbose. Try asking it a simple question like "5*3?" If it answers "15" it's probably a human.
You might not like it, but the Caymans are absolutely known as a tax haven. You can’t really be arguing that people stash money in the Caymans “because of the transparency”…

“The Cayman Islands are considered a tax haven because the Caymans do not impose a corporate tax, making it an ideal place for multinational corporations to base subsidiary entities to shield some or all of their incomes from taxation. The Cayman Islands do not impose taxes on residents. They have no income tax, no property taxes, no capital gains taxes, no payroll taxes, and no withholding tax.”

One problem I see is the lack of cohesiveness between clients. What one client/app chooses to name a “repost” is different than another client. Icons for said features also vastly differ. So it’s hard to build unity through the ecosystem without a common language (visual and vocabulary). This is just my brand developer’s take.
comparing apples and oranges

That is exactly my point. People start a small project in Python. Velocity is very high. Then, the project grows into a monstrosity. Suddenly, the awful Python "VM" (slow as hello) and lack of true multi-threading are major project liabilities. They should have started with someone much less sexy: DotNet (C#) or Java. Repetitive? Hell yes, but easy to maintain and cheap to hire devs.
AVX-512F also introduced an embedded rounding and exception control in the instruction itself, which was a great pain for everyone doing accurate maths (e.g. interval arithmetic). It's a great shame that Intel made all good bits of AVX-512 a hostage to the less important 512-bit vector width.
There are a few layers above this as well as safeguards to help make sure the right abstractions are used.
pgbouncer is not transparent, you loose features, particularly when using the pooling mode actually allowing a larger number of active concurrent connections. Solving those issues is a lot easier with threads than with processes.

Correct, but that's why you can actually migrate your account (including your followers!) from one instance another. The initial choice doesn't matter too much. Just migrate if you don't like it. That's why there isn't much discussions about it.
The ChatGPT UI is not the API.
US banks are regulated by the US government. One part of that regulation is that they must pay into a government body called the FDIC. Most people would say that if the government adds to your cost of doing business by forcing you to pay money proportional to some amount of money you collect or spend, then that's taxes.

Ultimately, the FDIC is backed by "the full faith and credit of the United States government", which means if push comes to shove, it's backed by taxes.

Regardless of whether it really is taxes or not, it is an extra cost of doing business that the Cayman islands do not have, and therefore do not pass on to their customers. So reasonably, if one puts money in the Cayman Islands one is enjoying the benefits of looser regulation, i.e. lower costs. You can't then complain when that looser regulation includes not enforcing deposit insurance and you lose all your money.
guess this is OOP or another programming paradigm.
