"My ultimate hobo dream has been a suit, which is comfortable to wear at all times and which protects you from any kind of environment. You wont need a tent or a home."

One of my eternal pub discussions has been about an Urban Mobility Suit which looked like a business suit, but was actually designed for backcountry hiking. Plus a briefcase actually containing ultralight and compact camping gear. To really confuse people in the outdoors. Then as you overtake anyone on the trail, say things like "Excuse me, running late for my 10am."
Overall it seems completely reasonable, I'm loving the non-editable yet still reassignable const const vars, the "funct" prefix is stunning, the useless but mandatory react prefixes, all brilliant, and none of this is confusing at all in any way, except for one aspect. The semicolon thing is deeply and utterly disturbing:

> You might be wondering what C uses for the 'not' operator, which is an exclamation mark in most other languages. That's simple - the 'not' operator is a semi-colon instead.

if (;false) {
print("Hello world")!
}

The alternative name could (or should) be Brainfuck++-. Emphasis on "-".

You know what's funny, though? There's zero, I repeat, ZERO, source code in the repository. Thank god. Otherwise you know a bunch of folks would inevitably dip their feet into Brainfuck++-, and said troll feet would immediately disintegrate into ash, for obvious reasons.
There are alternative techniques and services, such as DDoS-Guard.

I'd wager the guy who's still wearing a mask in 2013 is wearing at least an N95.

You don't have to look to Russia to find people glorifying Socialism and Communism as there are plenty of those in western countries to be had, especially in academia and other educational institutions. That is where the late-60s radicals went for the most part and they have left their marks to the detriment of (nearly) all.
> My first suspicion began when one told me to floss more, so I flossed daily for an entire year. When I went back in after six months, they told me to floss more.

Despite the fact that I haven't changed my dental practices in as long as I can remember I get told different things every time I go. One time they tell me I need to be better about brushing, next time I need to floss more. Most recently, again I haven't changed my habits at all, they said I'm doing a great job and shouldn't change my practices at all.

This seems to be a social problem masquerading as a technological one: recording devices that transmit what they hear are a dual-use technology. Just as an abuser might use such a bug to prevent their partner from seeking help, so might an activist attempting to document police abuse of power. In the former situation, we can agree that the victim should have the ability to force all listening devices off, whether or not they know the device is there. In the latter, the police should not have the option to unilaterally disable surveillance.

We can't solve a social problem (is this an ethical use of covert surveillance devices) with a technical solution. We've tried it in the past, and it hasn't worked. Neither can we really solve this one with laws: abusers, no matter who they are, will do whatever they think they can get away with, and preventing victims from gathering or sharing evidence lets them get away with a lot more.

> The purpose of slavery was to rob us of that information

I'm pretty sure the purpose of slavery was to extract the maximum possible amount of usually miserable and often dangerous labor from people, regardless of their lack of consent, and without having to pay them or have any consideration whatsoever for them, in the labor or in any other part of their lives. And maybe secondarily to feed somebody's sense of racial superiority, although I suspect that was more an excuse than a goal.

There's something disrespectful about retconning that to be about your curiosity 150 years later.

I notice C got some improvements:

- Actual immutability (const const)

- Type inference in declarations (var)

- No reserved names (I'd also take escaped keywords like Kotlin or Rust, but...)

- No manual memory management (garbage collector AND lifetimes)

- Built-in true and false without having to import stdbool

- String interpolation

- Embedded HTML

- Asynchronous functions (sort of)

- "Create C app" for beginners to get started without obscure Makefile knowledge or gcc'ing every file manually

I don't know whether anyone has ever really threatened a patent lawsuit over the ISA, but it definitely does seem to be a good idea to document the origins of instructions, and that they are either so well known and obvious that they can't be patented, or else that they were patented and the patent has expired.

Another protection is that the membership application for RISC-V International includes certification that RISC-V does not infringe on the applicant's own patents. With companies such as Intel, AMD, IBM, Marvell, Microchip, MIPS, nVIDIA, NXP, Qualcomm, Renesas, Samsung, Siemens, Sony, STM, Texas Instruments being members that covers a lot of ground.

The base ISA (up to RV32GC, RV64GC) very deliberately breaks no new ground. It's just smoother, with known potholes filled in.

Many of the optional extensions do break some new ground. The V extension has some unique features, though the basics are inspired by the Cray-1. RVWMO is based on experience gained with ARM and DEC Alpha memory ordering models, but fixing the problems -- and was actually designed by a world-wide group of academic and industry experts. Both of these are examples of something that simply would not be done as well by a small group of people inside a single company, working to a deadline.
Burn that jet rod! All trades are like that to one degree or another. I end up working with a lot of factory/plant maintenance personnel, and yeah there's the occasional dropout who's not pulling his weight, but mostly it's super competent people no matter what their responsibility is.

In jobs at semiconductor fab places, usually the head of maintenance holds a master's or PhD and still rebuilds turbopumps and blown out ion gauges when needed.

One thing that I think people need to understand is the distinction between science and the practice of medicine.

The practice of medicine is not science. The practice of medicine can be informed by science - to a degree that is almost entirely up to the practitioner. ; but it remains more art than science. The distinction is similar to that between an aviation maintenance and aerospace engineering.

Sometimes doctors are just out of their depth.
Because the majority of Canadians never learned what the WWW is/was, and think of the Internet only as something they get through Facebook.

I'm being snarky and exaggerating, but it's not far off. Companies & contractors etcget squirrely & weird about e-mail, don't respond to it... but respond to Facebook Messenger in an instant, or have a Twitter feed. Schools & schoolboards don't update their own websites, but post updates on Twitter and Facebook. Want to find out about school snow day closure? You're going to hear about it on Twitter first, etc. Road closures from the city? Traffic incidents, fires, or crime notices from the police or fire department? Have fun finding it on anything other than social media.

It's a bleak, privatized, walled-off state of affairs, the opposite of what we were all pushing for in the 90s.
I once had a troubling experience with a dentist who urged me to get a root canal for a tooth that appeared healthy. Despite the tooth only exhibiting some sensitivity to hot and cold, the dentist warned that I would be in severe pain within weeks, deeming the procedure critical. However, they couldn't provide any substantial evidence through X-rays or other means to support this claim.

I decided to trust my instincts (weird pushy vibe from the dentist) and wait. Eight months later, I started seeing a new dentist who performed a full set of X-rays and new patient scans. They found that my teeth were in good shape and made no mention of needing a root canal. The sensitivity I had initially experienced had also completely vanished.

The entire ordeal led me to view dentistry in a new light. It reminded me that in many specialized trades, you're often at the mercy of the professionals in that field. Whether it's a dentist or any other specialist, there's always the risk that their profit motive might influence their advice or actions. Finding trustworthy specialists of any kind is tricky; more so when the economy is faltering.
Typical Canadian response. Who said anything about the US?

> Bandwidth is dirt cheap these days

Not at scale. 50TB per month is nothing. That’s 151mbps. Most transit providers will be okay with a 10% commitment, so this is a gigabit port which is like $60-300/mo.

Assuming 50 people would download the 1PB archive from the provider, that would require at least 151gbps of bandwidth, rounded up to 200gbps, at the cheapest transit provider (HE) this is still at least $12k/mo for transit alone.

Is that dirt-cheap for a non-profit? I’m not sure.

Most wedding photographers aren't using film. Film is a very small niche these days. These days you shoot in raw with a digital camera, vary the exposure if needed, and set the white balance as needed when editing.

I think that's ambiguous enough to be problematic. For example, does a slug (headline-with-hyphens-in-it) count? If so, links often do. What about the headline? And what if a user copies a paragraph into their post?

"Any portion" is language that gives away that this is intended to be read pretty broadly. There's no qualifier, no "significant" or "substantial". If the goal were to prevent the kind of abuse that your bus driver analogy suggests, they should have been more specific.

By the way, an obvious idea just hit me, taking 2 days like obvious ideas usually do: perhaps a slightly less basic text editor like Notepad++ or Sublime can do a great lightweight yet powerful note taking app if you write an extension for it (or if somebody already has done just that).

But these have another problem Notepad hasn't: they apparently don't support Windows' auto completion. I use Windows at work where I am to type in languages I am not perfectly fluent in so I make heavy use of autocompletion to prevent spelling mistakes.
So you’re saying there’s a way.

We live in representative democracies, not direct democracies. Those representatives, in turn, hire experts and scientists.

My entire point is most people know nothing about science, why should they be making these decisions? Many people believe Covid-19 is a hoax and that the earth is flat and that vaccines cause autism, should we really be taking their opinions on matters they don't know about seriously?

My wife is dealing with cancer and associated complications at three distinct hospitals and a national cancer center.

The two hospitals on Epic are great - all of her records are immediately exchanged. The third hospital has a shitty cerner system and has problems sharing between departments. The cancer center has an excellent patient portal but doesn’t integrate.

Ultimately these problems are difficult as the creation of Medicare and Medicaid happened during the early days of computing. So we’re stuck with 75 years of legacy.
