> from the height of your moral superiority, I guess.

It is not about moral superiority, it is about wanting to prevent a bad outcome that will negatively impact me and my family. That's it, self-preservation. It's a realist and ideology-free perspective on the actions that I need to take to stop certain bad outcomes from happening. I've read enough history to know what happens when hate speech is allowed to fester and spread. The marketplace of ideas is an empirically bankrupt concept. Bad ideas are contagious and will spread and infect a population if they're allowed to. The downstream consequences of that are dystopian and we've seen enough speech-caused genocides to know this. Really, you are the one on your moral high horse. You feel moral outrage at someone wanting to moderate speech because it violates a sacred and untouchable value that is part of your moral system. Even though, ironically, you probably support libel laws and other current restrictions in America's current sociolegal conception of free speech. As long as the speech that's banned isn't hate speech, I suppose that's all fine and dandy.

I am not arguing from an ideology here, unlike you. This is a purely realist perspective. Free speech is a good value to have -- one of the best -- all the way up until it isn't. Just like any other freedom we have.

> And you get to decide which speech is dangerous

There are no easy solutions. The alternative is that the government decides, and that carries its own obvious risks. Although, maybe that would be better since it can be democratic. What I do believe is that the risks of your proposal (unfettered hate speech and the consequences of that) are higher than the risks of my proposal.

> We have a law system to stop these consequences from happening. The moment an extremist acts with violence, they are stopped with violence by law.

You live in a world where causality is simple. Person picks up gun and pulls trigger; person to blame. Reality doesn't work that way. That person was motivated by something. An ideology, perhaps. That ideology came from somewhere. Dylan Roof doesn't exist in a vacuum. Dylan Roof logs online and consumes speech. That speech motivates him to kill people. No doubt he also has mental issues, but it's the interaction of the speech and those issues that causes the outcome. That speech was as much to blame for the deaths as Dylan Roof was. It is all a part of a long chain of causality, and just placing the moral and legal blame at the very end of that chain will do nothing to fix the problem or prevent the next genocide from happening.
While less ideal than hosting it on an "always available" service, is that really enough to prevent the ability to do so? Phones are many people's only computers. Why not let them be actual computers since they're powerful enough to be? A typical smartphone is miles ahead of a Raspberry Pi and people do all sorts of things with Raspberry Pis. What about hosting a portfolio or blog on your phone where you can share it with someone in real-time, like a job interview or some presentation or just to show it?

Also, I wonder what the actual "downtime" of a smartphone is. I doubt it's that much worse than a lot of websites. The downtime of a smartphone is also usually completely independent of the phone itself, as it's usually service and/or location related.

Happens all the time. Most common one for me is when you're making a patch on a synth and by chance dial in those frequencies that align with formants (similar to the Robot Rock effect the post mentions).

Yesterday I was working on a bass drum beat, and after adding some synths playing on top of it, I started to hear the bass drum echo. So, my first thought was I had accidentally enabled some kind of reverb or echo effect on it while I was setting up the synths. After confirming I hadn't and isolated the track to ensure the bass drum was sounding as intended, I chalked it up to some weird illusion between the synths and drum that was making it sound like an echo. I know it's not there in reality, but I can't unhear it.

In this case, I went back and added a little echo to the drum to make the effect intentional, which turned out to sound good, but sometimes I'll try to make the illusion reality and it doesn't have the same effect.

Of course he's wrong a lot. The point isn't that Y is right, it's that X and Y are both wrong but you can't admit to that if you're a hypocrite.

And the "anything he says that is wrong is him joking" is the idea, because it works both ways. If someone says something which is actually wrong, you can make a convincing argument for why if you're willing to be logically consistent yourself.

But there are also things which are politically offensive yet true, and having a reputation for this kind of trolling is what allows someone to say those things out loud. Because then you make the same claim: "Maybe I'm trolling you, if I am just provide the counterargument."

Which you can't do if the counterargument requires you to admit that X is wrong and you refuse to do that, but you also can't do if there is no counterargument because Y is true.

It doesn't matter whether "is he trolling this time" is falsifiable. What matters is if you can disprove his claim. If you can, go for it. If not, what does that say?

> an example of people throwing the most vulnerable under the bus to avoid slight inconveniences like wearing a mask

Which is cool unless you are deaf and need to see faces to understand what people are saying. But who gives a shit about those people… as long as it isn’t covid it doesn’t matter.

Speaking of vulnerable people… how about victims of domestic of violence forced to live with their abuser because of lockdown orders? Doesn’t matter… not covid.

How about the elderly in assisted living facilities who were isolated from their friends and family thanks to lockdowns? Loneliness is an actual killer you know. But since they aren’t dying of covid who cares if they die completely alone. They don’t even get a proper funeral… unless they are George Floyd, then you get multiple huge public funerals. Speaking of funerals none of those “millions” of dead covid people didn’t get funerals either. Only celebrities get funerals in covid land—everything else is a “superspreader” event killing hundreds of grandmas.

Speaking of vulnerable, how about kids whose only safe haven is school? What about special needs kids whose classes and therapies were canceled? What about them? Since it’s not covid, who gives a shit.

Nope. In the myopic world of covidianism, the only thing that matters is covid. Anything else doesn’t matter at all. Covidians can wave the “I’m saving grandma” flag all they want and call everybody else selfish assholes who don’t care about “vulnerable people” but those same people don’t give a flying fuck about vulnerabilities populations at all.
The wordy article boils down to: the baths were infested by bacteria and worms due to insufficient water cleaning. Interesting, but could be compressed to 2-3 paragraphs without losing any detail.

Thanks for posting though.
The propellant is important for its bulk (some mass to shoot out the back) and it's energy.

In a chemical rocket, the propellant provides both the bulk and the energy. As it happens, there isn't that much energy in chemical propellants per kg, but the rest of the engine is light enough that these things can fly to orbit.

In a nuclear rocket, the energy comes from a nuclear reaction and the gaseous fuel only provides the bulk. This is way more efficient. But such rockets likely cannot achieve orbit on their own because the whole set up is too heavy.

This sounds like mainly a "political" consideration. Of course Jobs eventually became CEO and pushed his own agenda on the company (just as Cook and Federighi are now pushing their agenda). It's worth mentioning, though, how Apple promised and indeed was in the process of delivering 64-bit Carbon before it was yoinked back at the last minute! Anyway, I fully realize that I'm effectively unemployable right now in a Swift-oriented world. Thank goodness that I'm self-employed. :-)
I'm on the same boat with this.

We already have crappy written apps waking up devices on OEM software, last we need is random agents on the internet waking up our phones.

Also, not true. But even if it was, given your apparent position about COVID, you must admit that outdoor gatherings are less risky than indoors.

I’m trying to figure out what the issue is here. The Spanish example given isn’t even a real problem: even Spanish speaking countries only use two columns (“first names” and “last names” plural). It really feels like it’s trying to invent a problem that doesn’t exist, or to try to cater for the extreme edge case.

Once you have the data, how you present it as a separate i18n thing. Do you want to address an <ethnicity> crowd by their last name? Cool! That’s a rendering issue, not a database problem.
A few points:

1. Not restricting communication is a law, that they violated repeatedly in this process.

2. Democratic process doesn’t consist purely of elections, but a continuous public debate for the purposes of reaching communal consensus and informing representatives of our collective will — and that fundamental democratic process was subverted.

3. 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).

There have always been some people who happily cooperate with authoritarians subverting liberal society — that they did so now tells us nothing.

We’re only beginning to see the reckoning for those failures.

That's besides the point. The latest release of, let's say Linux, has bugs in it (statistically, unless it's the first perfect bug-free release ever). Would it be reasonable for a compiler to refuse to compile it? The compiler's job isn't to refuse to compile bad code if it could compile it, only to warn the user and try to help fix it if possible.
>For example, it's probably best that we learn later that it actually was a lab leak from China

I think a lot of anti-mask people would have taken it much more seriously if they knew it was essentially a man-made bioweapon(gain of function research to make it spread more). So knowing it was a lab leak early would have helped the response quite a bit
It is called the "thuiskopieer heffing" which is literally the "home copy tax". Making a non commercial copy of a copyrighted work at home (not distribute it) is absolutely legal in the Netherlands.

The fee is not about piracy at all, it's about legal home copies that are not distributed.

"Is it that nuclear heat is able to make it go faster and provide more reactive force than burning it?"

Yes, that is mostly it. Just compare the explosion from some hydrogen with a nuclear bomb. It is all about energy for mass in space, because all the fuel you have, you have to bring up into space, which needs more fuel, so need more fuel to bring that fuel up ... nuclear could help with that mass ratio a lot. And I like the concept in theory - as long as none of them explodes halfway up to space.

Two differences:

First, stackful coroutines use the coroutine stack for everything they do. Stackless coroutines can use the normal thread stack for synchronous calls, and that stack can be shared across any number of coroutines. Per-coroutine allocation is only needed for asynchronous calls.

Second, for stackful coroutines you need to allocate the entire stack up front, and usually you have no way of knowing how much stack might be needed, so you need a conservative upper bound. Normal thread stacks have sizes in megabytes. (That doesn't necessarily correspond to actual memory consumption, since the OS will only reserve physical memory as needed, but the physical reservation for a given stack can only grow, not shrink. And even just allocating the virtual space has a cost.) Most of the time you can get away with stacks that are much smaller, only a few kilobytes, but at the cost of potentially crashing when you've consumed too much stack; it's hard to statically analyze maximum stack usage.

Stackless coroutines will, in general, only allocate memory as needed for each coroutine invocation, so not only are you wasting less memory, you don't have to worry about hitting an arbitrary limit. Allocation elision makes things more complicated since, as the blog post notes, you can end up wasting some memory, but compared to stackful coroutines it's peanuts. But they have the downside that heap allocations and deallocations are expensive; plus, splitting a "stack" of nested calls into separate heap allocations, usually far away from each other in memory, is worse for cache locality.

No. It's the opposite. All it takes is one single result to show a theory or body of "consensus" is in error.

Yeah I agree on that, they already mentioned that part.
Honestly, Microsoft should not be in the hardware business, it competes with their OEM customers that load windows.

Personally, I think of microsoft hardware as a "proof of concept" or "reference design", sort of like how intel has nucs or nvidia has founder's edition cards.

There is a persistent attitude that developers are interchangeable, that the tech matters less than the knowledge of how to apply tech to solve problems.

I think that for architecting systems that's probably true, but as technology becomes more specialized and ecosystems become more complex it's harder for individuals to pick up and run with.

Consider if someone has written lots of PHP and jQuery

Now tell them to write a NodeJS server, React Frontend using NextJS.

It's not just "Oh I need to pick up ExpressJS" anymore. It's a whole beast.

Yeah the fundamentals stay the same. REST is still REST, SQL is still SQL, but actually writing lines of code is still a key activity of the job which people familiar with the technology will be better at.

iMovie has existed on it since the start, for all the professional accolades it earns the iPad. You're still not going to see Steve Jobs pitching it as a replacement for the Mac, though. The iPad's most holistic pitch was ebook consumption, everything else was Angry Birds, YouTube and the faint promise of Pornhub on a bigger screen.

I did my last leg of high school on an school-mandated iPad, and it's not hard to get what everyone here is talking about. Want to do CAD? Gotta get a different machine. Want to record music? iPads don't have the drivers for our DAC. Want to type an essay? Go rent a detachable keyboard from the library. So on and so forth until you never feel motivated to create anything superfluous again. It was an exceptionally poor replacement for a laptop, particularly when I wanted to make something or do creative work.

I already use delta[1] as a diff viewer, but I suppose GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF is a deeper integration than just a pager.

Sorry but I can’t help but feel this comment smacks of consultancy. The facts of WFH don’t align with management desires. Management may think it’s the business but the business is bigger than management. This is true in two ways: 1) employees make a business and 2) investors begin a business.

Employees are happy to have a work solution that works for them. If you want the talent to make them productive you should come to terms with reality that WFH jsut works for a lot of people.

Investors are happy when a company is making money and a company is making money when it’s employees (not its management) are productive. Employees are productive when they are given a work solution that works for them

Saying “put a door” on their office completely negates what makes employees happy to come work for you given the new reality.

Adapt or die.
