Not a bad idea. Form builders and the like increasingly do offer fancy string data types (like "Link" for example, which captures the desired link text and URL as a tuple, and sometimes even more detail than that), so it does seem reasonable for "Name of a person" to be dealt with similarly.
Yea exactly, that's what I mean by same difference - scary as hell either way
Funny thing about Blue Room, but that was the first time I had ever heard of Haile Selassie, then I was told that sample is a comedy bit from a prank call or whatever.

The Orb Live '93 CD was one of those that if a CD could wear out like a cassette, that would have been one (two technically) that would have from my collection.

> In computer software, an application binary interface ( ABI) is an interface between two binary program modules. Often, one of these modules is a library or operating system facility, and the other is a program that is being run by a user.

Can anyone recommend a book, that deals with purely functional algorithms? I already have "Purely Functional Data Structures" by Okasaki, which I began working through, but still have a long way to go. However, it is about data structures, not about algorithms, strictly speaking.

Perhaps there is a book for algorithms that does it the functional way? Probably a lot of it comes down to naive versions of algorithms using functional data structures and then some changes in the algorithms due to optimizing for functional data structures?
This is a good answer, if not a directly helpful one if OP was looking for new slogans.

One friend of mine has recently taken up Nix with a lot of enthusiasm, and by far the moments that have driven him forward the most were his own successes with his Nix-based projects. I've definitely hyped it up before in front of him, and I've definitely helped him along a couple times. But over and over, it's been actually using a capability that was new to him that got him worked up and excited to try more new things.
What a privileged myopic view you have. I’m glad your experience of the lockdowns worked in your favor. You are incredibly privileged and lucky. Good for you. Many people were not so fortunate.

There is more to life than the myopic focus on covid. Sorry you think otherwise. And shame on you for forcing me into your uncontrolled experiment I never consented to. Morals and ethics apparently don’t apply to covid. Neither does common sense.
The comment I was replying to was premised on most of our work being essentially meaningless in the grander scheme of things. That’s false. You can’t eat if you don’t have UBI or a job.
> Apparently some emperor did realize that it wasn't smart to bathe with sick and healthy people at the same time but decided the sick would bathe before the healthy

Maybe he thought they were more in need of cleansing.

Even with today's knowledge, without application of today's tech (overnight chlorination say) it wouldn't really make a difference? Today's first bathing session comes after yesterday's second.
Where is the best example of that argument? Surely they have published their own books, mounted their own websites?

The only real argument I've seen from Intelligent Design has been along the lines of "We can't explain complex stuff, therefore there must have been a designer".
> This absolutely was done with lies (eg, Pfizer never tested for preventing transmission and public health officials outright lied), manipulation (eg, preventing scientific experts from communicating their views with the public through government censorship), and force (eg, mandates that coerced people to take experimental medical treatments in violation of the Nuremberg standards)

I'm willing to accept some of this if you show me proof.

Who exactly lied, where did they lie, what official source shows a lie?

What scientific expert was prevented from communicating their views by the government?

Where were any treatment experimental, that had not gone through the standard set of protocols that all treatment goes through?
Care to describe some of these innovations?
Thanks
That's what I was thinking as well -- these are equations that generate colors in 2D space, so essentially pixel shaders, but for this particular effect I wonder if it would be simpler with some geometry shaders, and have a 3D engine take care of the shadows.
We're all different and our experiences will always be different.

We need to strive for justice. And that means judging the actions of individuals, not the outcomes (so say goodbye to "social" justice). If the actions are fair, then whatever the outcome, the outcome will be fair.
Pretty insignificant when we're talking about survivorship bias, though.
"Human beings are social creatures - yes, even we introverts need interaction. A pure voice-only relationship can feel close, but it's not the same thing. Current technology like Zoom and similar is just not a good replacement for in-person interactions."

I cant stand it when people put out these blanket statements in the form of objective facts. If I'm in a group team huddle with our cameras on - I'm able to pick up on body language, I can see their faces and we can all exchange ideas at the same time. As far as somebody talking over somebody else you can split into multiple groups if it's too big, you would have the same issue in proximity.

You seem to be under the impression that social interactions can only happen if we're all breathing the same air. The only thing that being on site would add is potential tactility. Do you find yourself hugging and touching your coworkers a lot?
Historians are very, very used to siloed and proprietary knowledge.
I've been using FAR for the last 20+ years on a daily basis and it hasn't crashed a single time for me. I like its minimalist UI, but a quite complex functions are only a click or two away and various plugins extend its functionality in useful ways (for example, Netbox for ftp access). I think it's a fantastically useful and robust tool.

Sure, but is it too much to ask that the dissidents accept when they've lost on the merits instead of pivoting to an inane meta-argument about their theories being "silenced"?

Political Philosophy
Thank you for this. I tested it immediately on my site. Now, during testing I looked at the debug output before I browsed to a page, and the debug output was displaying the wrong characters, hanzi instead of kanji. But, when I browsed to the actual page, the characters were right, presumably because I'm setting the lang attribute in the HTML tag. Thank god I did that.

Still, testing this uncovered a bug in my Traditional Chinese code, so there's that to fix now :)

A rational response would be to isolate and protect those most vulnerable (65+) and not treat everyone as a homogenous-risk group. The risk to those under 30 was miniscule, despite the news attempting to focus on the few outlier children that unfortunately were on the wrong side of the statistic.
If you think me going to a bar killed grandmas you are badly, badly misinformed.
Yeah, the materials issues dominate design basics. They've looked at HfC and HfCN as nuclear engine materials (m.p. ~3950°C), pretty exotic.

I feel like if designers would drop their effort to wring out the last increment of Isp from nuke engines and reduce temperatures to ~2000°C, it would give faster development. There are many materials that can live in 2000° hydrogen for >100K hours.

There's an old Rand study that showed H2 would give an Isp >1100 at 1 atm chamber pressure (!), temp ~2000°C, exhaust pressure 10e-4 atm. Seems worth exploring.
How do we even know the money will be put to good use?

I guess that is why it is going to an international organization that the US is a part of, instead of directly to the Tijuana, Baja California, or Mexico governments.
> So that's my point. The "clever" policies are going to fail anyway and now nobody trusts the people who pushed them.

I get your point, but without any argument, rationale, or data, behind it, I don't know what to make of it. Now it just seems like your opinion.

What policies do you think failed? How do you quantify failure? What do you think would have been more successful? How can you know it would have been more successful? How do you know trust was lost because of the policies themselves, and not because of some of the opposition's agenda to push mistrust?

You say: "don't lie", ok, where did you see lies? Who did you see lying? Who censored what?
Was fairly similar up until 2017 (when I left). Things just got done with minimal fuss.
Ideally it would just ask for each actual need. If the system needs to render something brief for a salutation, something verbose for a certificate of achievement, and something suitable for sorting purposes, then it could just ask the user to provide all of those exact things. Then the potential for misalignment with "what the system expects" completely disappears.
Some people like creating enough that they'll even do it for free, as a hobby, sometimes in addition to doing in professionally and getting paid good money for it. Sometimes it's drawings, sometimes it's music, sometimes it's software on www.github.com.

But I'm not sure the point of asking people to link their own free work in context, how would that change the discussion? Is the proposal to gatekeep who can access the Internet Archive and share links to other people's art on whether they're enough of an artist themselves?

If you think it's wrong for people to archive old art that's not sold anymore, it seems to me that should hold regardless of whether the archivist has a Devianart and a Bandcamp account of their own
Surely without any content restrictions or consequences to the account.
My computers launch without XSession. And I have all the documentation about how to launch a basic X server on root. My SO found how to use my computer by 'spying' on me (it was more of a game tbh), and hopefully my future kid will too.
I'm not sure what you are trying to say here, there is more information out there, I just copied from the wikipedia page.

80% depth of discharge means to 20% capacity, not 80% capacity. You can see on that section that the lowest number is for 100% depth of discharge, which wouldn't make any sense if depth of discharge and capacity were the same thing.

with good rate performance till 3C and cycle lives of 300 (100% depth of discharge) to over 1,000 cycles (80% depth of discharge).

Another section says 5000+ cycles at 80% capacity

The tricky side of that is how to distinguish between luck and opportunity. Loads of people might be friends at school with someone with a great complementary talent, or have a connected uncle, or happen to start a business in a sector that about to really take off. They may even think about the opportunity and how to take advantage of it, but for whatever reason they don’t.

So there are multiple factors. Some initial lucky opportunity, the insight to spot it, the willingness to take a risk on it, and hard work to see it through.

The people making these aren't any good at building houses.

The lack of housing is, IMO, a failure of government — material costs for homes are surprisingly low compared to everything else — but even then, housing policy is a different department to the space stuff.
This! Timing, opportunity and location matter (wealthy parents are a good start too). Pick your choice of billionaire and look at their beginning. You can rarely see something truly jaw dropping.

It happens.

That, I always have difficulty with these types of replies.

What should you do when someone, in a serious discussion, says that the Earth is flat, with a straight face?

Are they mocking you? Perhaps mocking the debate at hand? Are they trolling? Or maybe they are just naive and don't know that they are embarrassing themselves?

Maybe just treat them as a troll? But the thing is that when they appear just as some naive, maybe young person, the generous take would be to explain the ridiculous thing they are saying.. but I always feel so fool when I do that. Plus, I don't have the patience anymore.

>Thank God my son was fine, but the comment about the dead bull intrigued me. We didn't own a bull. Where was he? How did the bull die? And why was he telling me about it?

>Then he said, "The car is damaged but operable." All right. He had gotten into some type of accident, the car wasn't a total loss, and there was a dead bull (still a great puzzle).
My friend, it isn’t 2020 anymore. It’s okay to admit you got fooled. Everybody will eventually convert to my side. Because those of us who see the lockdowns as a colossal mistake will be (sadly) proven right. What we did in response to covid was perhaps the biggest fuckup in human history.

The story of covid is 10% disease mitigation, 20% intellectual error, 30% media fearmongering and 40% politics.
Maybe someday journalists will find their balls and stop blaming everything except the elephant in the room: Humans cause most wildfires. Less than 1% of fires in Hawaii are due to natural causes. There is a non small probability of this being either negligence or plain environmental terrorism.

The trend is consistent with what we found in other places. Valencia: 97% less wildfires during confinement. Galicia: only 11% of fires can be assigned to natural causes.

So the really interesting question here is not what, is why. Maui was not an isolated event. We have Sardinia. We have Sicily, and Rodhes, and Corfu, and Canary Islands, and Cyprus, and Algarve in Portugal, and Canada... A lot of the very touristic locations that are a big source of income in several occidental countries are being attacked by a wave of wildfires in full touristic season, causing serious damages in the economy and image of this countries... and some of them were deliberated

https://www.bbc.com/news/in-pictures-66289156

Environmental terrorism pursuing economical boycott or any other benefits. My guess is that this is as simple as that. Even in the middle of a dry spell, in a windy day, without a spark there is not fire.
The thermodynamics make so little sense but ok.
Aw man, forget all that noise. Bring back "Project Orion"*, baby!

If we're not gettin' out our (NASA-approved) Huarache sandals, "waxing down" our pusher plate, and surfing "the pocket" of those sweet nuclear detonations in the near future, then, I'm afraid our species is utterly consigned to the category of "posers"!!

TS is a pain with JSON Schema or OpenAPI because it doesn't directly support things like integer or precision. TS does not easily support things like `"exclusiveMinimum": 5`, `"type": "integer"` or patterned (regex) fields.

So if you want to convert your TS interfaces to JSON Schema, you may need to provide additional constraints via JSDoc and use a generator that understands those annotations. But your TS interfaces cannot express those constraints directly.

There are a number other related complications surrounding these more expressive schema definitions - like building types from them and interacting with them at runtime.
> But when I hop on a video call, I’m still largely just staring at boxes of people, and the apps have mostly become utilities that I’m just not that excited to use.

So, is this saying that video calling is now an appliance, like a vacuum cleaner or a toaster? No-one is excited to use those, either (once the novelty of their first one wears off). No-one wants their toaster to be exciting.

If it is an appliance, then the video call revolution succeeded completely.

I’ve been thinking on and off about personal hosting. Not just for web, for everything that I want hosted. Eg data, address, location, permissions to message me or mail me or read some of my photos or all the functionality we give up to the cloud overlords.

I don’t want it on my device. Battery, connectivity and uptime aren’t suited to hosting. But it should be something I can delegate to a service (or set of services) and only care about the hosting details of if I want to.

Problem is, every time I see anything on decentralised identity or hosting, it ends up as an unusable dogs breakfast. We’re not there yet, but it’s worth pondering as a possible future.

The anabolic steroids thing isn't really elucidated properly.

The problems regarding this, that make it a true carrot problem, are as follows:

1. Enhanced athletes aggressively claiming to be and marketing themselves as natural for explicit monetary incentives.

2. Enhanced athletes claiming to achieve amazing things naturally for obvious incentives and mitigation of disincentives. Generally, the notion that any top athlete isn't "enhanced" is absurd. Anabolic steroids are a huge boost, trust me. Wink wink nudge. You go from being a mere mortal to feeling powerful, and your physical recovery is completely changed. You become wolverine.

Enhanced athletes claiming to be natural because they don't want to get in trouble and telling you to do pyramid supersets isn't really a problem because it's probably going to work (hypertrophy isn't hard, it's easy) and it's pretty obvious they're enhanced. You don't need steroids to get decent results, pretty much everyone has a base capacity for this.

Enhanced athletes explicitly claiming to be natural for monetary incentives can harm people financially and physically, and this is a wildly popular grift.

Like, human names are entirely culture-dependent, and in most cultures (including the Western Hemisphere culture) completely free-form?

Even when people adhere to that norm rigorously (which they don't), it's completely unusable as a unique identifier, and is of dubious utility to disambiguate two distinct humans in many scenarios?

That there's not even any real agreement on spelling (especially as, with some, it will need to be spelled in multiple alphabets)?

If this stuff's not old news to you, you haven't ever worked with it.

I think it's really worth it.

When I was in college, I discovered that reading in different genres (mathematics textbooks, philosophical papers) was a different skill than reading in general. I had to kind of get a feel for certain specialized genres and styles, and after I did, it gave me an ability to read them much faster than I could when I started.

As a Linux hobbyist, I learned that a huge part of feeling at home on the CLI was learning how to explore an environment at the command line, and the tools available for doing that: man, info, --help, tldr, bro, apropos, whatis, etc. Learning how to use completions and my own shell history to recall and mentally reinforce commands, even if I'd only ever used them once before was a big thing. Learning a new command takes me a hell of a lot less time now than it did when I was kid.

The Nix ecosystem is a little bit like that. The resources you can find on nixos.org are good, and you can get by with just them and some manpages, but it'll be slow at first. As you spend more time with Nix, you get a sense of what order to consult the official docs in and what unofficial resources are worth looking at. You now how to read Nix code and can quickly find examples or answer questions just by grepping through Nixpkgs. You gain enough background that it's easy for you to ask useful questions on Matrix, IRC, or Discourse. And the time it takes to learn something about the Nix universe that's totally new to you goes way down.

If you go into Nix with an eye out for resources and methods of learning like that, I think you'll get your bearings more quickly. If you make a reasonable effort to ask good questions and you're patient, you'll also get a lot of good help.

Parts of the Nix ecosystem are and will stay frustrating. But for me, it was totally worth it.
