Because domestic UK politics wouldn't allow this to pass on technicalities, I mean haven't you learned anything from the build up to Brexit? It would have to be explicit to be palatable, not some technicality that we effectively want to play ball on the Euro, but never really do... Hell, even from the EU side I'd want a honest decision, not political illusion.
I think whitespace handling is a problem, but not the only one. Shell data structures are awful and confusing, so best avoided. Error handling is also subpar, requiring boilerplate for every reasonable error situation. And there’s a constant need to be careful about stdout va stderr and how exactly a function returns data.

I find moving to even Python to be an inadequate answer, because the shell does two crucial things very very well - it manipulates the filesystem and runs commands in their most native format. And even Python is very cumbersome at those two tasks.

But sometimes you need good data structures/execution flow control, and good filesystem/command control, at the same time.

Intuitive, consistent, predictable whitespace handling would fix a lot of shell scripting problems, though.

(I haven’t given Powershell a serious shot, maybe I should.)
I don't think you're wrong about the optics or political viability, unfortunately, but there's a million urban designs in between Kowloon Walled City and "I have to drive twenty minutes through a wasteland of lawns and detached houses to go to Starbucks".
There's aliases, and you can just hit tab to autocomplete the commands and their argument names. I find Powershell to be far more readable than bash because of its verbosity
I'd pretty much agree with that, with the possible distinction that the gap may not have narrowed exactly, but they have less opportunity to show it. The difference is time scale rather than ability:

This may sound weird or arrogant, but I have notebooks from back in school where I got bored and ended up on my way to inventing basic calculus concepts a year or two before I was introduced to them. Given enough time I'm sure I would have gone further, but then I took the classes before having the chance.
I had a friend attempt to run for congress ~10 years ago. It eventually got to the point where he had to take ... um, not bribes? investments, yeah, that's the word, in order to continue. There was no other way to afford the marketing required to pull it off.

If you really want 'free' elections, you need to make it so that literally anyone can run instead of only rich people.
Yeah I used to do research on robotic wheelchairs, and as part of that I had to use them. Half of the “accessible” doors on campus where not powered, so I had to open them while sitting in the wheelchair. It was impossible to do without holding the door with my legs. And they were these big heavy doors.

Then there was the elevator, which could barely fit the wheelchair. You can go in at juuuuust the right angle to get on the lift, then you had to reverse out because there was no room to maneuver inside. I started actually getting claustrophobic.

I just couldn’t see how an actual wheelchair-bound person could get into these buildings on a daily basis.
It's a meme, but not really true. Those in power rely on economic growth, and economic growth relies on population growth.

To keep this going, you need ever more people but for this to be sustainable, they now need to be confined to tiny boxes in megacities, fueling the economy mostly by producing and consuming virtual items, and keeping their physical consumption to a bare minimum.

Meanwhile, the billionaire class has the rest of the world as their playground, and can happily get around by supercar or private jet.
It has always been obvious that points systems are an arbitrage scam. The payment network pays the customer 1% to use their card for which they charge the merchant 2% or more when there are alternatives with low or no fees.

The customer chooses the payment method but doesn't directly pay the processing fee, so they choose the payment method with the rewards and then indirectly pay the processing fee which is twice as much or more.

Merchants have trouble resisting this because the same system is the one that allows their customers to buy on credit, which is worth more than 2% to them even though that is more than it costs to provide that service in a competitive market. And then the customers who don't need to buy on credit still choose the payment method with high fees for the rewards.
This is correct. The US has 2 capitalist parties and no left party to speak of.
Nice, I was not aware of this. It looks like there are some additional stipulations:

* If the subject of the claim is an individual, they must have $200k+ income in at least one of the relevant years, and the amount recovered must exceed $2mil.

* You can't have obtained the relevant information through your (or your friend/partner/relative's) activities as a federal employee.

* It will probably take about 10 years for the affected party's appeals process to complete itself (see the flow chart on p9 of the linked document, and the chart on p21).

* It also appears that the IRS requires more than the publicly available information described in TFA, as p12 of that document implies that "claims based entirely on publicly available information" are also "non-meritorious". So, the exercise conducted by the journalist appears to not qualify for a reward, even though in at least one of the cases it produced a collection. This bit is unclear to me -- I can't tell if it's just ruling out people who spam submissions saying "public figure X is definitely a tax evader!!!" or if you really need to provide additional non-public documents to get anything. There is a random Forbes article about this [2] that claims "the IRS is happiest when you have first-hand (insider information even better) knowledge of the taxpayer and the tax issues".

But if you jump through all those hoops, you can get 15-30% of the additional money collected. Form 211 itself is pretty short [3].

Anecdotally, I’ve also been to several therapists, and after a few that didn’t fit, found one who focuses on the issues I’m dealing with, and the experience has changed my life. I have friends who have experienced the same. I also have friends who are frustrated by it all. Good care can be tough to find. This doesn’t invalidate the field, or the benefit of seeking help. I’d tell people to treat this like they would other life impacting health providers. Take charge of the situation, and leave providers behind who are not helpful. I do think too many people approach therapy like it’s a prescription. “Take this much, get this result”. I started with this mindset, and adjusted when I realized that it doesn’t make sense.

All of that said, the main point was that talking about therapy in a dating context is more nuanced than “everyone should be in therapy”, and that some people look for this signal for understandable reasons.

How credible that signal actually is, is another question. If you’re looking for “I’m working on myself”, that doesn’t imply an expectation that someone has reached enlightenment. Just that they’re trying to be better.

A large number of people don’t seem to try at all, so I’d still argue that it’s a signal worth considering. But like most signals, it’s just a signal. It doesn’t guarantee anything.
Side point - has anyone got a better way to refer to a non-technical person than "non-technical"? I see they use that term in the intro and I use it to but seems a bit condescending.
I think it's easy to blame our inaction or weak policy on our political structures. While the American system certainly isn't perfect, we must work within it to address climate change urgently. Concluding that change cannot happen without replacing the system is nearly as bad as just ignoring the issue in the first place. There are plenty of examples of radical change in the American political history (suffrage, civil rights, slavery - although that one caused a war ;-) and that's what we need badly again today.
Do you know what came immediately after Nixon's impeachment?

Fox news. The right wing in the US could never do what Nixon did because they'll get hung in the media machine designed to protect them (and keep them in lockstep)
Why downvote this guy for essentially just pointing out that Emacs isn't terribly useful out of the box if you want to develop software? This is objectively true, isn't it?

It is like assembling IKEA furniture if IKEA furniture didn't come with a usable manual and there are nine different descriptions online of how to assemble your new chair. Of which 5 don't actually produce a chair and two that are strangely incompatible with how you prefer to situate your couch.

Rather than be angry with people for pointing out something that is very likely to be true, how about listening to _valid_ user criticisms? And perchance see if something can be learned from it?

This is valid feedback.
Obama got punked big time by Larry Summers and Rahm Emmanuel. Biggest wasted opportunity in modern political history. Thank goodness COVID gave us a second at-bit, shit would be really fucked if that hadn't happened.
In my experience finding lawyers to represent you for these injustices is very hard. Disabled people also tend to be poorer and lawyers just aren't interested. Medical abuse of the chronically ill is a big area which lawyers refuse to deal with and it's rife with potential lawsuits. It's not this easy, everyone and I mean everyone treats you like your disposable.
I agree with you that gains in income will be absorbed.

Providers of necessities can demand large portions of people’s income due to lack of supply. It’s a basic monopoly. We see that in real estate, health care, education, elderly and child care.

They can’t charge endlessly because at some point people are priced out. Homelessness, lack of education, delaying medical care until an emergency and relying on laws that non-payers cannot be denied treatment.

But they can travel up the supply demand curve and take from everybody that can still afford it, because the supply is constrained. TVs are cheap, because of competition from overseas. Land or health care prices are not.

The “source” is the fact Labour are not talking about rejoining. We don’t have access to their internal polling, for obvious reasons, but they clearly believe in this strategy and the 20pt lead in the polls suggests they’re right to.

EDIT: I missed the source for the polls. This YouGov poll shows a big “Don’t know” block which is completely missing from the news reports.

I really don't understand this comment at all.
Yikes. The first time I ran into an issue where email delivery for a major provider was impossible without TCP fallback was 23 years ago. To treat this as optional this long is ridiculous.
there is a little boy inside me who wants to watch all six lectures right away. but now with two kids and constant demand from work, I have gotten used to consuming education as 2 minute physics shorts on YouTube.

the issue is much deeper than the format of media. it's a sense inside me that I'm "wasting time" not "productive" (related but not the same as not remunerated). I feel I* don't have permission* to just enjoy it ... I can give some reasons, like if I go for a bike ride with the kids it gets me and them exercise and my wife some respite, but sit and listen is just passive consumption that will never be productive... I wish I was free of this sense of guilt
"60 per cent of Britons now think Brexit was the wrong decision and would vote to rejoin the EU at a second referendum"

Do you think these 60% are unaware that there would be no special deals? And it's 79% of young voters, so even just the demographics will only shift this further, in addition to the ever more obvious data showing just how disastrous Brexit has been, that all the claims were lies.

And what special treatment does the German automative industry get?
I loved the idea of code generation when I first encountered it, but I've since come to hate it.

A large code base that was auto-generated and then subtly modified in some places is hard to refactor, and if you need to change the signature of a function that is used thousands of time across the generated code, you are in for a long ride.
> The left has been entirely as bad as the right when it comes to the environment.

No, they are not. "The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive." https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/26589529219124838...

This is what the leader of right wing thinks about global warming.
> If they're the only ones to seriously contribute to climate change they will essentially be subsidizing the developing world.

Or they're finally doing the right thing and fixing the negative externalities of industrialization that they've been passing off to everyone for about a century?

Unrelated but surprised by how little attention Feynman got in Oppenheimer given how enormous his stature would eventually become. Arguably the best mind on the project.

That is self-imposed. You can destroy anything with drugs.

Here's the issue with copper and the Meissner effect and claims in this paper:

- 50% copper phosphide in the material.
- Lenz's law effect on copper content (e.g. trojan horse situation.."lets use copper because this will make the demos easy").
- No clear demonstration of the Meissner effect.

Link to eevblog and replicating the v silly video on the landing page of the institute (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHPFphlzwdQ). There are other problems but this screams of professional fakery but fakery indeed.
Thank you very much for your response and explanation. Und viele Grüße aus Hamburg.
I didn't know those metrics don't exist. There are seemingly endless studies out there. You are of course free to ask me for supporting sources for any of my claims and I have no problem saying when I do and do not have sources and metrics.
The difference between the left and right is mainly rhetoric. Speaking of “bailouts,” 68% of Americans wouldn’t pay even $10 per month more to mitigate climate change: https://www.cato.org/blog/68-americans-wouldnt-pay-10-month-....

Democrats are willing to talk about mitigating climate change, and Republicans aren’t, but the vast majority of Americans aren’t willing to actually incur decreased quality of life. Gas needs to be like $10+ per gallon. But even when it hit $4 last year, Biden was calling to suspend the gas tax to make it more affordable.

You’re correct that, on this issue, the right cares only about themselves. But so does most everyone else. Even most Biden voters want to be able to take their SUV to the beach this summer without high gas prices. Biden won traditionally red states like Arizona and Georgia blue, because Biden voters are leaving urban areas in the northeast and Midwest for places like Arizona and Georgia where they can afford bigger houses, more cars, etc.
Re: the [dead] sibling comment that reads: “80% of code will be written by Copilot”

That's like Microsoft saying "80% of code will be written by intelli-sense / autocomplete." Great for minimizing typos and increasing productivity, but meaningless with regard to overall engineers required.
They have half the L3 cache as well. However a Zen 5 chip with half L3 cache will very likely outperform a Zen 4 chip with full cache.

I wouldn’t expect any hybrid designs out of AMD for desktop, only mobile.
When an accurate term seems condescending, sometimes that tells us more about ourselves than the word.
>There's also the problem of balance: several UN organizations, for example, do immense good with remarkably limited resources but occasionally they or their cousins frak up really badly and cause severe harm.

The thing about groups, Zero Want To Clean Their Own House. I mean every bunch of people you can draw a line around. Every group, entity, org, corp, gov, club, lodge, council, society... Poor souls who try to fix things from the inside get quick evidence.

It may be the most universal human failing I know of. And maybe the least discussed.
I'm not entirely sure I understand you. Are you saying that sales taxes can be reduced to compensate for carbon taxes?

If so that may also have side effects as sales tax can be distortionary and may be more difficult to control (as you'd need to change sales taxes whenever you change carbon taxes.) Not saying it's necessarily bad, it'll just be important to take care of side effects to make it a good idea.
I think one thing people aren't considering is how remote work makes people more easily substitutable. Why live in SF if you can live in a small Colorado town? Why pay for a remote developer in SF when you could pay for a remote developer in Arizona? Why hire in the U.S when you can get a good dev in South America? There used to be a geographic monopoly on labor, but making remote the norm moves us away from that.

Maybe that's a good thing, as it will make NYC affordable, but NYC is also experiencing huge budget shortages from the drop in land value. I suspect these will only get worse over time in all major U.S cities.
The filling material in a lot of stuff I've ordered is tailored to the size of the object--think styrofoam bricks with a laptop-sized indentation on the side--so there might be some additional challenges pairing reused filler with the right sized thing.
Even if you were OK morally with "just ignore the problem and let most of humanity die so long we can keep burning oil", it's not an option in the first place. You just don't get to keep burning oil, one way or another.

As long as the pollution isn't stopped, environmental conditions will never stop getting worse and do so at an accelerating pace. You cannot "just become resilient and deal with it" indefinitely. People in the US and Europe also need food and water, for which it's great to be able to work outside without dying and also great to not have never ending droughts, floods and hurricanes.
I don’t think that’s true. Life is genuinely difficult when there are no connections or influences.

A lot of entrepreneurs I have met come from families where there are other entrepreneurs and highly qualified people like lawyers and doctors.

I don’t think I’ve met a single entrepreneur (and btw I’m talking tech) who didn’t have some sort of familial backing.

“I had a F&F round where I raised 300k”

“My cousin (lawyer) helped me set up the legal entity”

“Everyone in my family is a business owner”

Most people don’t have these factors around them. Imo.
Some of us use subtitles because we don't want to listen to the audio in situations where that would be disrespectful, like in the gym.

In Spain there is a big dubbing industry with very good professionals that are able to transmit the acting emotions nearly as good as the original (but never the same). But listening to automated AI dubbing would never reach that level of acting, sounds awkward. Even listening to "latin" spanish dubbing seems out of phase to most of us.

Anyway, YouTube should put some efforts on reviewing the (at least) iOS application localization in spanish, because it's impossible to see at a glance the age of a video in a video listing.
>The 2010s were a lost decade

This is the first time I've ever heard this, how do you even begin to justify this claim.
No an eMacs user myself, but do you ever imagine a time when the software might be considered “done”?
The main issue is not that the Republicans pretend they barely care about the environment and I’m not here to defend the awful bilan of the Republican party. The issue is that despite a lot of posturing amongst some of them the Democrats do exactly the same thing when they are in power. For all his worries, the US went from producing less and less oil to the world first producer while Obama was president, something he actually takes credit for.
The error I often see when comparing past presidents to current ones is that both the D and R parties are hardly the same from those even 20 years ago. Nixon, even Reagen, would have a hard time passing so e of the stuff they passed in today's world.
This is what programmers wanted right? The right to work from wherever they wanted. Except, that includes cheap areas where salary requirements tend to be much lower and pushes down wages.
One of Obamas many weaknesses as president was that he was incredibly way too open to letting republicans gut the democrat agenda just to appear bipartisan.

Keep in mind that somehow, it’s fascism for democrats to ignore republican input, but when republicans steal Supreme Court appointments, it’s just “how the government works”.

At that point, democrats were still very much playing “if we take the high road, people will see republicans for what they are”, but the problem is that this didn’t happen at all, and it fact, all it took was reinvigorating public displays of racism to fire up their base.
I was once asked in an Amazon interview a famous problem of theirs, find all phone numbers on their website. This was a real world problem they ran into. The first engineer there went about it in java, took days and pages of code (and still various corner cases were issues, it was slow, etc..) Another came along, threw down a few lines of shell and was done.

There are some things shell does really well.
> How did they manage this all without wheels?

Walking, and at least for the people in North America probably canoes.
It’s 25 vs. 28 for transportation, but abundant nuclear could have made commercial and residential heating all electric or through district hot water heating, which is 13%.

On transportation, I’m reminded of old popular science mags where the cars were predicted to have mini reactors in the trunk. obviously with 1970s tech that’s much too dangerous to be viable, but maybe we would have developed nuclear batteries over time to skip over our porches with EV batteries.
