List specifically what you think the driver of this car does with this car that is more dangerous than a typical driver distracted by a cell phone, or even an Uber driver staring at the app instead of the road.

Your false premise is that the author is doing anything at all here that is more dangerous than “drive a modern SUV in a normal way”.

Ideas are copied by reading or hearing them. You can't own your ideas now, unless by own you mean horde. The perpetual creators rights you want extended are already artificial and require a non-trivial amount of our GDP to enforce and they still stifle future creation in a lot of areas.

Most people are paid for doing things every day, they don't get to create one thing and never work again. Expanding creators compensation laws is regressive and only helps a few elites survive job uncertainly, not the bulk of the people. We're better off limiting this sort of thing specifically to help everyone advance, share the knowledge.

This is just plain wrong. The millions of refugees came from Syria. The US was hardly bombing Syria at all, it just bombed Libya. Actually it was mostly EU countries, in particular France, that pushed for fighting the Assad regime at the time.
The Obama government didn't even want to be involved at first.
Looking at other graphs, the same thing happened in other countries like [0] Canada or [1] Germany.

However this data isn't scaled for the overall popularity of Indeed as a job-posting site. If you look at that baseline [2] things aren't so notable. For example, take the 2020-02-01 to 2022-03-01 span: Software dev postings rose ~2.66x, but much of that was probably related to how all postings were up ~2.05x.

The decrease, on the other hand, remains interesting.

Having coded in go professionally, I disagree. Go abstractions leak in weird and unexpected ways that are surprisingly different to it's C/C++/Java predecessors.

Goroutines were kind of the raison detre' for using go. But using them wasn't simple, and instead often goroutines brought their own issues. See here:

https://songlh.github.io/paper/go-study.pdf

Often a programming language takes a first guess at the problems they want to solve, and often get them wrong. C++ is probably the most notable language in this category here.

That said, I do appreciate an attempt to improve programming languages even if it undermines the primary feature of the language itself.
My 2011 thinkpad is easily many times slower than the m1/m2, yet, when running i3 on my thinkpad, the feel of responsiveness is a lot more snappy as in instance. So in reality, I have a lot less of what you mention on my ancient thinkpad than the m1 for most of what I do daily.

> I mean, there's a big header that says "Myth: C has no equivalent to “private”" and a code example about the private keyword, so that's why I started saying that.

You are correct; I should change the heading to "Myth: C provides no encapsulation". I don't want to do it now, as the discussion is still ongoing and making this change now while people are commenting on the 'private equivalence" aspect would be gaslighting those people.

> Even then, my points still apply: this isn't really equivalent to how encapsulation works in other languages due to the lack of granularity and the "extras" of all the usual language behavior that stops being supported.

So? The myth the article addresses is "C has no encapsulation", not "C has great encapsulation".

That C provides stronger encapsulation and stronger guarantees for upgrade migration is the specific myth that I am trying to address.

> did use them for concurrency

> went for a more specialised design

My impression is that JS evolved similarly - (ab)using generator for concurrency, then specialized async-await as a language feature.

I am by no means an economic expert, but I shared this chart yesterday, GDP 2008-2022 in current international dollar:

https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.MKTP.PP.CD?locat...

Now, I have no idea what thebdifference between constant USD, current USD and the international versions are, and wpupd be happy if someone cpuod explain it since the differences are huge, but measured in curren international USD, the EU and US GDP charts move more or less in parallel with the EU one being a little bit lower. But of course, a chart that shows a huge delta developing makes for much better headlines, and more eyeballs on the article...

EDIT: Just played around some more, the numbers only allow for sensationalism whem using current USD, taling any other constant value the story is a lot different. And the root cause seems to be two periods, 2012 - 2014 when the EU GDP growth was significantly below US growth (it was negative for the EU in 2012 and 2013), and 2020 (EU -5.7, US -2.8). So, if everything it is old news, or worse just a wrong representation of data to justify headlines and narratives (looking at you WSJ, not some Twitter thread).

>For example, if you’re looking at static inequality, Europe appears to be more egalitarian than the United States—their wealth is more evenly distributed across the population. But Taleb uses some statistics of dynamic inequality that propose America may be fairer than Europe. In Europe, more than a third of the five hundred wealthiest people inherited their wealth from family dynasties that have lasted for centuries. Compare this to the US, where 90% of the wealthiest five hundred people entered that list less than thirty years ago.

>Here’s another statistic on dynamic equality in America: 10% of Americans will spend at least one year in the top 1% of income earners, and more than half of all Americans will spend at least a year in the top 10% of income earners. Since what we’re trying to do is allow the market to reward those who contribute to society, greater turnover among the rich in the United States is a sign of fairness.

Ad preaching - there is engaging with the thing and there is preaching the thing. Like, yeah, majority of the complains about "diversity" is rooted in sexism, racism or homophobia and it is not even hidden.

But then I have characters having mini speech about female equality or power, in a weird situation, while the very same character is not even written to be competent adult woman. That is preaching. They could write competent medieval woman or gay, acting capable and mature within the context they are in. But instead, they make them stereotype and then slap a speech on it.

Like, yeah, quite a lot of what people call "neutral past" was conservative preaching and not even hidden. But like, the preaching currently absolutely does happen.

There are a lot of such edits at Wikipedia (neither well sourced nor neutral). For some reasons, a certain bias passes through the filter.
Every tax break is a tax increase for someone else.

Oh yes. The first time it happened to me, I asked my wife to drive me to the hospital because I thought I was having a heart attack.

Turns out it wasn’t and the doc reassured me by saying me that half the heart attack suspicions they got in emergencies were in fact panic attacks. So it’s something as common as it is frightening.

It happened a second time but I finally managed to recognize what it was. This one was really random, I was effectively just watching TV ^^

unless you really need a very new version of a piece of software, the safest bet will always be the latest LTS version of Ubuntu. You could perhaps just upgrade your laptop OS with the software package GUI?

Fun fact: You don't really need to install any of the "flavors" of Ubuntu to get the various desktop environments (KDE, GNOME, Cinnamon, etc.), you can just install them as a package! (`apt install kde-full`). You can switch between them when logging in.
I guess it is great that they are finally paying attentio to programming languages like CLU.

On the other side, given my experience with .NET and C++ co-routines, and Active Objects (in Symbian C++ and Active Oberon) not sure if this is really something to add to Go.

Even the .NET team has acknowledged at this year's BUILD, that if they could go back in time having the runtime handle them Go-style would probably been a better decision, given how many developers keep having issues understanding async/await.
Mythology and fantasy are drastically different things. Meaning, purpose, context, are very important for understanding art, of course.

We live in a time when adults everywhere will openly exclaim their adoration for fantastical nonsense. They will unabashedly assure you that they simply adore dragons and robots and hobbits, devoid of any purposeful meaning or relation to the world we live in. Almost nobody who loves zombie films, for example, has the first clue what zombies meant when first devised.
A bit of Unix history on 'su –'
Ive not always had 100% CPU issues, but with multiple companies and various applications, Docker on Mac will use a lot of resources and cause fans to spin up which would never do so under any circumstance. It could be the terrible AV/"security software" conflicting with a VM, but the results are always the same.

If we are just going to be using VS Code or IntelliJ and run Linux, what are we even using MacOS for? The terrible UI?
PPP is meant to account for things like a haircut in San Francisco creating way more economic output than a haircut in rural China, and therefore inflating the numbers. It doesn’t completely solve the problem of comparing the economic output of a 747 to the economic output of a haircut in rural China.

If you are used to the lifestyle of the western upper middle class and consume the associated products, the effects of the PPP adjustment will not be that meaningful to you. The same isn’t true for people who have to use most of their income to buy basic necessities like shelter, food, transportation and so forth.

You were rejected not because of your lack of skills but to the contrary, you had more skills than that engineer. And that is a threat to that engineer professional future. You made that engineer look bad.
The unintuitive thing about the stock market is that you are not trying to predict a system unrelated to yourself. But you are trying to predict other people's behavior. People who are just like you.

So when you notice a pattern - say "Stock S trades lower on Tuesdays and higher on Fridays", what do you do?

Do you buy on Tuesday to exploit the pattern?

Or do you buy on Friday because you are not a unique snowflake and others will notice the same historical pattern and therefore reverse it in the future?

There is no way to decide. Because even if you see long-running patterns in the history of the stock market, those patterns might have reverted just at that moment when people like you noticed them.

This holds for all patterns. Even if they are as complex as the ones described in the article.

The €3 million one is a new "temporary" tax since this year from the central goverment. "Impuesto al patrimonio" has existed for long and it depends on where in Spain you live. It's not applied in the region of Madrid, and the it kicks from a net worth of €400k in Aragón. In all regions your main residence is exempted.

For a net worth of €4m, you'll pay €60k in Aragón to €22k in Vizcaya to €0 in Madrid.

I always find it interesting how a hero dose of LSD gives similar visuals to what these image AI's do to achieve a coherent image.

on top of that the associated Hallucinogen Persisting Perception Disorder (HPPD) clinical condition seems to be more like an image processing issue, somewhere between the rods and cones (sensor) and memory (persistent storage). like an unwanted configuration change in a program or development environment.

I feel like the more we get AI to act like humans, and the more those engineers and others use LSD, the more convergence we are going to have with curiosity and breakthroughs about how we function. More akin to biological machines without such unique mental faculties, just the illusion or hallucination of such.
My midlife crisis at 40 was more like a midlife epiphany. We moved from a perfectly good and totally beautiful city (Bath, UK) into the arse end of nowhere in Devon to live in a shack in the woods with no running water and to be near the sea.

We went with two small (8 and 5) kids (responding to those here saying it's not possible - it is!) and downsized from a busy city life to a quiet rural one.

Our intention was to stay a year. After two years we mentioned going back to the kids and they put their feet down - the most relaxed kids in the world decided they knew what was good for them: splashing about in rivers with sticks, fires on the beach, mud, a tiny school, more present parents, late nights lying on a hill looking at the stars. So we listened to them and stayed.

We're still in the country, by the sea, and our kids are now nearly grown up. We're having a blast. We're here for them. They're here for us. We'll never be rich but we're a great family unit.

If we hadn't had the guts to do a crazy thing (I give all credit to my wife for having the idea!) and decide pretty much off the cuff to follow our "crisis", we'd never have discovered our new life.

We've been very fortunate with our circumstances and I never forget that - but fundamental to all of this has been making the leap. Fear of the unknown can be countered by just doing it, knowing that crazy looking decisions can create amazing futures. Doing things is often better than curling up in fear and not doing them.

Right. I'm off for a surf :-)
That’s a good point - we do have AV scan software which is mandated by SOC2 / ISO nonsense. Why Apple - the richest company on earth - is apparently so “bad” on security that we need 3rd-party malware app to “protect” us is a mystery.

> I call it the ruliad. Think of it as the entangled limit of everything that is computationally possible: the result of following all possible computational rules in all possible ways.

Quote from his link to ruliad.

I think maybe what he is talking about is equivalent to what we usually call “mathematics”.

Since mathematics actually only instantiates computable things.

(It can represent uncomputable things as abstractions, but only at a level that is actually computable. I.e. everything we know about uncomputable reals, or higher order infinities, is a computable statement. So those concept representations are as computationally rule defined as anything else.)
Isolation between sites is not sufficient - collaborating sites (and everyone colllaborates with e.g. Google analytics or the hundred other tracking sites) could have an ifrane that would abuse cache. You need isolation by primary site, and i don’t remember the exact issues, but there’s some obstacles over there that need addressing (and that browsers do address, but which result in the cache-hardly-ever-used situation we are in today).
There is one group which owns an artificial, government-created construct: the trademark to "UNIX". That is far from the final word on what constitutes a Unix. The social meaning of words goes well beyond whoever owns a government-granted monopoly on them.
Any hardware! As long as that hardware is overpowered for the job, so that the browser overhead is acceptable. Oh and it needs internet. Oh and it needs a reasonably large screen because padding and margins. Oh and it needs quite a bit of RAM to start. Maybe not any hardware.
Because of the implied effect on things like attention span, memory, and cognition in general. It's the same reason that mastering fundamental mathematics is critical, even though we have calculators. Trends in the Flynn Effect are relevant here. [1] The Flynn Effect is the observation that "real" IQ values were increasing, dramatically, for decades. In recent decades (since births in ~1970), this effect has not only decreased but reversed in the West. And it cannot be explained by dysgenics alone, since it even shows up in same-family cohorts. That suggests environmental causes are likely playing some role.

Those coming to adulthood in the 90s were the first generation to really get to experience mass, endless, and cheap dopamine driven digital entertainment. Notably the [positive] Flynn effect is still in full swing in places like China and India, where digital entertainment market saturation has taken longer. So they'll effectively work as perfect experiments. If it reverses over the coming decades, as everybody over in these places now has their heads shoved in e.g. smart phones as much as anywhere else, it should be telling.

> All of this is deep in the political psyche that wants to cut down the tall poppies.

What you call "cut down tall poppies" others call "correcting thousands of years of aristocracy-fuelled unfairness". European wealth has much older roots. In a few centuries, Americans will likely reach a similar political point.
