It seems bonkers, until you realize that that person who gets 5 years in prison for his 4th petty shoplifting offense is generating hundreds of thousands of dollars of checks being written to people who work within and who are contractors for the justice system. And on the streets, fighting crime is another place where massive checks are written in order to protect the public from small-time street and property crime.

If people are robbing other people for $100, especially in 2023 dollars, that's too stupid to be a failure of society, that has to be because small-time crime is a resource for a lot of justice system-connected industries, and as long as maintaining the level of it doesn't pit those industries against real estate interests, they can lobby for crime.

I think there are really three kinds of crime:

1) Crimes of need, where people need to feed themselves or their loved ones, so resort to crime because they're willing to risk their lives and their freedom,

2) Crimes of stupidity, where people just don't understand how unlikely they are to get away with something, or how bad the punishment could be, so they undervalue the cost of undertaking those crimes for the benefit they stand to gain, and

3) Crimes of compulsion, where people have enough, and mostly understand the costs and the benefits, yet risk their lives and freedom for more for some irrational reason; degenerate gamblers.

We can prevent all crimes of need immediately and easily. It's more difficult to prevent crimes of stupidity, but pouring education into everyone is the answer. It's idiopathic crimes of compulsion that are hard to deal with, because people have wildly different reasons for their compulsions.

As a society, we pour all of our efforts into crimes of compulsion, the only kind of crime that we're virtually guaranteed to be ineffective at stopping, and bad at controlling. Where the discussions between political factions are about whether we should kill them, give them therapy, drug them, corral them far away from people, let you look them up on a website after they're free, refuse them work, let them vote, etc., in the context of assuming that the vast majority of crime has unique causes and solutions. To assume that, we have to ignore that people are still sticking other people up for $100.
+1 for Atlas of the Heart, but that was more useful after I handled my childhood trauma.
At least in the US, those sort of places don't really exist, or if they do the pricing is outrageous (like $1000+/night).

Not true in the slightest. This place ( https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/48299044 ) was an incredible bargain the last time I was in Scottsdale for a couple of weeks, even at $220/night + fees.
These special studies are good for a scientific consumption, but they don't do much to make the results comprehensible to the general public.

In this specific case, what's missing is the bigger perspective, like this:

"If we look at the 100,000 average dead people, we'll find that 30,000 of them died from cancer. Now, we are looking at 100,000 dead low dose nuclear workers, and we have previously thought that 30,010 of these would have died from cancer, but now we've found that number to be closer to 30,020."

This really puts "2x worse" into a proper context, which is: there are low-risk occupational hazards in nuclear industry.

100% of the work of actually maintaining Wikipedia is is done by unpaid volunteers, and much of the tooling they use also appears to be developed on a volunteer basis.

These records are reconstructed drawings of original patent drawings that were destroyed in a fire at the Patent Office in December 1836. In 1837 Congress passed an act that provided for the restoration of these burned records.

And now online ... The actual page title is Restored Patent Drawings, 1837–1847 but those dates refer to the original restoration project, not the the patents themselves.

One of the issues that has emerged is a strange fixation (which the Anti-Federalists warned of) on the Bill of Rights as the source of these rights.

So by "fuck up" you mean having at least 3 videos on your channel which can receive fraudulent claims. Only stupid content creators make the mistake of having more than two videos I guess.

If only it were that simple. If you try to tell Youtube it's fraudulent you get a response 12 seconds later that they reviewed it and it's valid.

This paper from 2015 finds that a large amount of CPU in Google data centers is spent in a relatively small number of core components, known as the "datacenter tax": https://static.googleusercontent.com/media/research.google.c...

Some of the components they identify are memmove() (definitely a loop), protocol buffers (proto parsing is a loop), and compression/decompression (a loop).

Well this is just narrow thinking. We'll gain more noise, distractions and busybody managers coming by to interrupt us every 30 minutes to ask for status updates. And also individually wrapped tiny portions of snacks.
That was an interesting read! I relate to that very much, thanks for sharing. We read all about the rise and fall of governments, of political goals, of cultures... and yes, there is a certain moral failing or disconnected apathy that allows the greedy and sociopathic to prey upon their own kind. It's rather depressing to think of so many people convinced they can do nothing, by a group of people who is so scared of their people they sign deals with businesses behind closed doors.

I'm convinced many of our "leaders" could not argue their positions adequately if they were forced to defend them. I remember reading about events like the Million Man March on Washington DC, and I wonder how America would handle a massive, peaceful demonstration communicating the general discontent of the citizen with this potentially great country.

It seems there was a period in American history where the common man COULD and DID stand up for their countrymen, for the health and endurance of the entire country instead of a handful of rich fucks. Why do we not see these shows of solidarity in the modern age? I ask mostly rhetorically but the America of today looks and feels characteristically different from what it sells itself as or even who it was a mere 50 years ago.

Rust's design and development was incredibly informed by knowledge of programming language history. People making different judgments and decisions than you would have made is not necessarily evidence that they are less knowledgeable than you, it is often the case that they have just come to different conclusions than you have. That's why there isn't one perfect version of everything; similarly knowledgeable and well-intentioned people often prefer incredibly different answers to the same questions. It's kind of surprising, maybe, but it's also why humanity is so interesting and varied; why we have so much different kinds of art and music and architecture and stuff.

100% of your examples are things that you seem to think have exactly one correct answer, but which people actually have different preferences on and different reasons for choosing different approaches. I promise you that Graydon Hoare was familiar with the concept of in, out, and in-out parameters when he started working on rust.

None of this means that any language is perfect, it's just that you're ascribing things to ignorance that are far more likely to reflect differences of opinion on subjective questions.

That is correct. However, raw pointers are not borrow checked, in safe Rust they're largely useless, but in unsafe Rust you can use raw pointers if that's what you need to do to get stuff done.

As an example inside a String is just a Vec<u8> and inside the Vec<u8> is a RawVec<u8> and that is just a pointer, either to nothing in particular or to the bytes inside the String if the String has allocated space for one or more bytes - plus a size and a capacity.

The Computer Language Benchmarks Game has C++ outperforming Rust by around 10% for most benchmarks. Binary trees is 13% faster in C++, and it's not the best C++ binary tree implementation I've seen. k-nucleotide is 32% faster in C++. Rust wins on a few benchmarks like regex-redux, which is a pointless benchmark as they're both just benchmarking the PCRE2 C library, so it's really a C benchmark.

I was going to ask how much you actually program in C++, but I found a past comment of yours:

That's addressed in the sentence immediately following that quote

To add onto this comment, saying "having children is the worst thing for the climate" is a totally defeatist attitude towards the issue. What people are saying is "human life is incompatible with the Earth so we should stop perpetuating it". We might as well count our living selves alongside hypothetical future children and all kill ourselves now if that's the case. Of course, the people espousing this message are pretty much exclusively talking to western/European people, who are in almost all cases already giving birth at far below-replacement levels.
Well, I mean, it’s a rural Wyoming “news” site written by a contributor who routinely writes hit pieces on environmental groups. You get what you pay for.
The problem is, that’s not how the logical inference in a compiler/optimizer works. It’s very difficult to translate such an optimization back to “this statement has been optimized away”, in the general case.

It's odd how people pretend to "support" Wikipedia but seem opposed to it's goals.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Prime_objective

So, when people talk about Wikipedia being completely funded and not needing more money, they are lying. Flat out lying. Rather, they are saying "Wikipedia has enough money to serve me, everyone else doesn't matter."

Wikipedia's goals (which have been well-published and posted for a long, long time now) aren't just about a website. It's about giving everyone free access the sum of all human knowledge.

In 2008, Jimmy Wales said this: "'to create and distribute a free encyclopedia of the highest possible quality to every single person on the planet in their own language,' that's who I am. That's what I am doing. That's my life goal."

It's not just to "Host a wiki, which for the majority of people here, they think that's the purpose."

When they fundraise, it's for the entire mission. And until everyone has access to the sum of all human knowledge, they are still running short.

As for these groups, they all fit with that goal, of getting people access to this information, of providing information, of achieving that goal.

Feel free to disagree with their goal, but stop lying and pretending it has enough money. It doesn't, since it hasn't achieved its mission yet. The only thing you are saying when you say they are lying is that you got yours, everyone else can suffer.
Agreed. If WFH reduced total vehicle miles by a significant amount, then according to my calculations, RTO should increase total vehicle miles by a significant amount. Check my work!
That's a very good analysis, so much it seems obvious in retrospect. But I think it misses one other factor: I've witnessed the most rural people to adopt ask-culture when they were guess people before. My gut says this has something to do with social media/smartphones but idk.
These are always fun "pop-sci" discussions, but the wiki says this whole dichotomy has been debunked [0].

Thanks for pointing that out. Detecting UB is hard and sometimes impossible in C and C++. If you design your language accordingly you can avoid that. At least I think that is how Rust deals with it, but I'm happy to be convinced otherwise.
OK so dumb guy here needs someone to explain this chart I keep seeing and not understanding. [1]

It shows average temperatures month by month, peaking in summer months, cooler in winter months. As expected.

Except that the graph says this is a global mean temperature, not just the northern hemisphere.

I would expect that the earth, on average, from north pole to equator to south pole, would, on average day, have about the same mean temperature, as it gets the same amount of total sunlight overall, regardless of the tilt of the earth. We're essentially on a sphere, and it gets the same sunlight coverage even though some points get more light than others.

I mean it's not like the earth gets less overall sun just because it's winter in the north.

So for whatever reason the entire earth is warmer when the northern hemisphere is experiencing summer? Am I interpreting that right? How is that possible, and what am I failing to take into account?

Does it have something to do with the elliptical orbit of the earth, and possibly that our closest yearly approach to the sun just happens to align with summer months in the northern hemisphere?

> not an advantaged majority

Why would they have to be both advantaged and a majority? Surely just being advantaged would suffice, and white women are also not a majority in VC funding, nor are they advantaged.

Women-funded startups received only 9% of investments - even if all of that 9% went to only white women, they would still be disadvantaged. Furthermore, 77.1% of founders were white, and 17.7% were Asian. Since whites are 57.8% of US, but Asians are 5.9%, that makes whites 1.33x over-represented, and Asians 3x over-represented.

In other words, Asians are 2.26x more likely to receive VC funding than whites, yet, without citing any data, you claimed they are less favored than whites.

I think you have some good points, at the same time, here where I live, in the food store, a part of the freezer is filled with plant based food - if people hadn't voluntarily decided to be vegetarians, then, there would have been meat instead.

I don't think you understand what society means.

What you just demanded was antisocial. Meaning it was not an example of living and letting live, and getting along with your neighbor. It was an attempt to impose your will on your neighbor, without the excusing necessity of any shared resource or effect on yourself.

To illustrate the difference, I don't care if you wear a seatbelt or not.

I also think cars should be required to possess them as they are.

I even think it's at least arguably not automatically wrong to protect kids from some parents and require them for kids until they take over responsibility for themselves. That is a more complicated question not automatically right or wrong, because a lot of kids have been harmed under the banner of "protecting kids from parents", but there is at least a valid theory for it.
