As a developer I care because that’s what my users have. As an employee I care because that’s what my employer buys for me to use at work. As the unofficial IT support person for my friends and family I care because that’s what most of them will buy and ultimately ask me to help with.

Doesn't seem like it :

Again, it would be fun if I never had to deal with people implying my views implied I was actually a bad person, but it's not the case. I also see this in lots of conversations that aren't political, so I think it's more of an online discourse thing. People get nasty to each other online.

I found 2011 to be the most enlightening quote:

It's the only one with any acknowledgement that agreeable terms may actually be needed in order to attract people to work. It doesn't take a PhD to figure this out!

Utah Phillips, one of my favorite storytellers and all-around anarchist and hobo has a line I was reminded of:

That’s when [Fry Pan Jack] told me – you know, he’d been tramping since 1927 -he said, “I told myself in ’27, if I cannot dictate the conditions of my labor, I will henceforth cease to work.” Hah! You don’t have to go to college to figure these things out, no sir! He said, “I learned when I was young that the only true life I had was the life of my brain. But if it’s true the only real life I have is the life of my brain, what sense does it make to hand that brain to somebody for eight hours a day for their particular use on the presumption that at the end of the day they will give it back in an unmutilated condition?” Fat chance!

It's not "tax free" when those salaries are taxed just like any other salary.

Good heavens no.

Blaming workers for their poor conditions is elitist and fragile advice. There are not “good jobs” available for all or most. Your cushy PMC role is contingent on miserable labor supporting it. See the contractor/full time divide at Google or Meta for instance

This is a popular talking point among carnivore charlatans on social media, but can you show me any meta analysis or randomized controlled trials where they found adverse health effects when humans consume whole plant foods high in oxalates such as leafy greens, beans or whole grains?

I know the charlatans won't. We'll just get petri dish and rat studies but mostly hand-waving narratives.

> Overall these are plants defense mechanisms

This doesn't mean anything. Of the "anti"-nutrients that survive basic cooking, most of them show improved health outcomes in humans: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7600777/

Though I'm not sure how people find it convincing on a rhetorical level. If these "defense chemicals" are so bad, then over what time period are they supposed to hurt us? 100 years? Because the overwhelming balance of evidence only shows improved health outcomes with the consumption of fruit and vegetables, especially the scary ones like dark leafy greens and legumes.

This just sounds like the "eek, a chemical in my food!" rebranded for the 2020s.

Reading this on a Fold 3, which I'm considering replacing with a OnePlus Open, if the reviews are good. The crease is not noticeable in use for me. Having more screen real estate in a device that still comfortably fits in my hip pocket is great. The only downside I've noticed in a year of use is the Samsung bloatware. There are a couple of small scratches on the screen but no more than I had on my previous smartphones after a year. That's after taking it to the beach multiple times and not taking any particular care to avoid getting stuff on the screen.

Capitalism results in the power coming from capital. Therefore capital taxes should be the primary taxation mechanism.

That was never the claim. The claim was that it helps with brain fog and mental clarity in general, not specifically that caused by long-COVID, which had been proven to be true.

And a cursory look at the literature for PEM[1] will show you that the recommended path to recovery isn’t “avoid physical exertion at all costs”, but to do what you’re capable of and slowly ramp up the intensity, in which case small amounts of exercise could play a vital role.

As a simple example, if you have a NN with one input and output neuron and a single two-neuron hidden layer (with same activation function), you can swap the weights (and bias) of the two neurons in the hidden layer and the result will be the same. Right?

What you describe (act, schedule, delegate, delete) looks like 'ranking' to me. Under 'classification' I'd understand a seperation without ranking entities. And that at least falls under the request of OP (whether it satisfies it or not).

What I don't understand about your comment is the similarity to your scheme that just has the 'cost' dimention addionally. The 'cost' doesn't make the entities any more 'rankable' though. So why wouldn't I apply your critic to your own proposed system?

This comment is not in bad faith. I'm just a little confused about your point. If you have some sort of experience or qualification in this field, I'd be happy to be corrected.

Characterizing the Gates Foundation as "just a tax dodge" is a pretty hot take.

Yeah, I know. I presume more readers here would be familiar with the name ‘Ancient Egyptian’ than with ‘Coptic’.

Do you think they should have to embrace austerity because they’ve asked for donations? Or do you think they can use donations in lieu of advertising dollars and otherwise function like any other similar company? Do you think it’s possible they were invited by google.org or received donations for the off-site itself?

I guess I’m not sure why this is remotely worth commenting on, but it seems to have struck a nerve. It’s like being upset that NPR takes donations but then gives its staff 15 minutes off to watch a tiny desk concert sometimes.

1. It only looks that way because the camera has terrible dynamic range. If you've ever driven in real life you'd know you can see further than 100ft in front of you.

2. if for whatever reason you can't see 100ft in front of you (eg. fog), you shouldn't be driving at such a speed where you can't stop in time if an object popped into existence 100ft in front of you.

>The forward-looking Uber dashcam did not pick up Herzberg until approximately 1.4 seconds before the collision, suggesting (as the sheriff did) that the crash may have been completely unavoidable even if Vasquez hadn't been distracted in the seconds leading up to the crash.[61]

>However, night-time video shot by other motorists in the days following the crash, plus their comments, suggest that the area may have been better illuminated than the dashcam footage, viewed in isolation would suggest. This raises the possibility that Herzberg's appearing so late in the Uber video could merely be an indication that the camera had insufficient sensitivity or was otherwise poorly calibrated for the environment and setting in which it was operating. If these crowd-sourced re-creations are indeed representative of the visibility conditions on the actual night that the crash occurred, then Herzberg would have been visible to Vasquez as soon as there was a clear sight line had Vasquez only been looking ahead, refuting the assertion that the crash was unavoidable.[62]

Sometimes, standard semantical approaches assume a target stack-machine, or SSA architecture, or something else with insufficient generality to cover all the cases we want (e.g., non-Von architectures like APU from GSIT). ASR assumes only lambda/pi/rho calculus, depending on whether you want concurrency semantics (that's TBD, frankly; today it's justs lambda)
I think like many people, the first couple of paragraphs inspired me to see what else was published on the site for more “context” about the author’s point of views.

Grew up in the city and yeah you get used to it. We had our own bags my mom sewed or mesh bags. If we bought something like beer it wasn’t in 6 packs but one or two bottles at a time. Also we had decent public transportation, we’d hop on a trolleybus (electric buses) even for a few stops if the bags got heavy.

At the same time I agree that it wasn’t fun and I didn’t enjoy it as a kid. If we could have an option to have a car, drive it and fill the trunk with groceries and drive back we would have.

The gig economy has worn many out... The promise of services like social media, Uber, Political Parties, and airBnB that promised to create wealthy entrepreneurs fell flat on it's face after making the people at the top of the pyramids very wealthy.

I think that social media really tipped the balance of fairness in the working world... With social media, suddenly Trust fund Babies could fake success, and promote schemes that helped them to profit. The Social Media model was set up to raise Trust Funders and Popular individuals far above everyone else, and it killed hopes of upward mobility for people who didn't fall into any fame or wealth category unless they became famous for negative reasons or for ridicule.

It's not that no one wants to work anymore, it's that people are tired of weak work schemes, and being used and then thrown away in order to elevate others. It's not until real opportunity for growth, entrepreneurship, and excellence returns that things will begin to get back to normal.

Talking about is as "Nobody wants to work anymore" is an injustice... Millions of people are working very hard every day on content creation that rivals TV programming and others are regularly posting their best and fully composed and edited work on Internet sites daily, most without any pay in HOPES of being discovered for their work, as proof of that.

No Sir I replied:

It doesn't do garbage collection. Variables and arrays get deallocated when they go out of scope (similar to C++ RAII). When you return from a function, it will be a copy, although I think we elide the copy in most cases. We restrict the Python subset in such a way that this exactly works with both LPython and CPython.

Local variables are on stack. Lists, dicts, sets and arrays use heap, unless the length is known at compile time, where we might use a stack, but I think we need to make it configurable, since one can run out of stack quite easily this way.
