> We need to do better than prison for drug addiction and delusional mental illness. Need to make a statewide facility to provide tented area for drug addicts to be removed from cities and suburbs.

That’s exactly like a prison, but probably with unconstitutionally poor conditions by design, not better than a prison, and probably unconstitutional mechanisms for sending people into them as well.

Better than prison (demonstrated, repeatedly) for dealing with addiction and related crime is funding community treatment for substance use disorders, with studies consistently showing both crime reductions and criminal justice cost savings of several multiples of the marginal funding devoted to drug treatment.

But “tough on crime” via greater criminalization makes an easier political soundbite, even if its manifestly worse at actually dealing with crime.

> I know something you don't (the ability to create your own array DSL gives you none of the advantages of a particular array DSL developed over decades of hard work)

I don't see how this has anything to do with golang.

>you know something I don't

That go is missing sum types?

> Go's popular because it got stuff right that other languages in the space like Dart and Swift missed.

The only advantage I see are implementation specific and not language specific. Go has a better ecosystem, it's cross platform, it has extremely fast compilation times. The language itself is independent of these factors. You haven't mentioned any specific advantage by golang as a language here which is my main gripe with it as of now. But if you meant the implementation specific stuff than I agree with you, those are big advantages. It's one of the reasons why a language like python hasn't fully taken over... if python had the speed of C then it would likely even replace go.

Because of this I'm going to have to assume you agree with me. Go from a language design viewpoint is fundamentally broken. You clearly still like it, but you also clearly can't articulate specific reasons as to why. I mean this is normal, if you like something for really long and you learn that you've liked something flawed for years you're not going to flip around in seconds.

Anyway I think Go only appears fundamentally broken. There must be someone who knows why Rob Pike made these choices to leave our really fundamental primitives when designing go. I don't see why yet, and even though you're a supporter of go you haven't clearly elucidated why either.

I'm still waiting on the reasoning why Rob decided to leave out sum types and make go routines a first class feature when the concept of green threads are easily created as library sub rountines. Not being snarky here. I think this reasoning exists, we just don't see it yet. Perhaps someone else does?
"Drivel" seems like a strong word. All that stuff works pretty well, despite how much it annoyed you.

As far as I summarise, the 7900XTX is the first (and only) desktop GPU from AMD that _might_ be worth buying. (They own the console gaming space, but thats a different story).

Not Nvidia beating due to the CUDA issue, but a massive leap in the right direction.

Intel is also making _some_ progress with its ARC range.

Its going to be happy days for us users if/when AMD/Intel are competitive, and cut some of that monopoly margin off Nvidias pricing, but a way to go yet.
This is my main plan. I've been looking at different AI moderation tools to at least assist and offer advice, if not wholesale do the job.

IIUC, they do—the thief delegates tedious, finicky work to preserve their own executive function for “important stuff”. They don’t have more executive function than before the task existed, but they do have more than before they delegated it, and the delegation is the theft.
That's a really good way of putting it. Thank you.
Warning: this wikipedia article on circumcision includes pictures of penises (as you’d expect). You need to scroll a while to find them, but they ARE lurking.

Basically, it looks like there’s a consensus that for vaginal sex (and probably anal sex) it can reduce the risk of contracting HIV for the penetrative partner. It’s much less effective than condom use or something like PrEP, but it makes a lot of sense in some high risk populations. Right now it’s being actively encouraged in Africa. HIV has been exploding over there and, while condom use, tests, and PrEP are more effective, it’s hard to get a steady supply to the people who would benefit - and then hard to get them to use condoms/take PrEP/get tested consistently. It’s less effective, but it’s a one and done thing that will reduce the risk somewhat, so hopefully it’ll help put the brakes on.

I don’t think male circumcision makes a lot of sense in developed countries in most cases, since we have easy access to a steady supply of condoms, PrEP, and testing - as well as medicine to clear up UTIs and such. The medical community is somewhat divided though, so IDK.

The fallacy here is assuming planning something is draining or bad for you. It more has to do with how much you enjoy the thing. I think couples have arguments about the thing neither of them wants to do. But if one
enjoys planning the holiday for example they will just do it and it wont feel like EFT.

I definitely get bank EFT (pun not intended), I deal with this by having recurring todos with all the links and stuff I need to smash it out quickly. The idea is to offload from CPU (executive/conscious) to GPU (habits/unconscious)

When talking about this I thought EFT was going to lead to how Twitter and other dopamine hits stop you from getting important stuff done.
Sounds like a treatment more than a preventative measure.

I don't get why some cultures apply it so broadly.

for me they don't "spoil" the original work and I ignore them, but it is, in a way... deeply, cosmically, saddening, to the see the world do a shit job with a thing that you love. It hurts. It feels tragic that the world could be so shitty, in the same way that reading news articles about horrible people does.
It's not only denial of use. The perpetrator gains the output of the delegated effort. The sale goes through. The business continues to operate. Paychecks get signed. The home's functionality is maintained.

When the "non-promotable work" of a firm, community, or family gets done "the rising tide raises all boats" if that work is necessary for the organization's profitability and/or autopoiesis.

I am confused as to how you don't see the profit in delegating.

Edit: for example, if I were to borrow your lawn mower with out asking, mow my lawn, and then--crucially--return your lawnmower wouldn't that be theft? Even though you'd only been "denied service" and not lost an entire mower?

Theft is a reasonable interpretation of denial of service. You may disagree (which is also reasonable), that doesn't make it a lie. This is a disagreement about what label to apply, the existence of this phenomenon hasn't (at time of writing and in this subthread) been disputed.
In my final semester I wrote/directed a short film with friends that I met in the university’s filmmaking club. Most of them were Freshman or Sophomore.

I was looking forward to discussing some deeper and more obscure films with them, and they did have more knowledge of, for example, Lynch’s work than most people I talk to. However, they overwhelmingly talked about the new Star Wars saga and Marvel movies.

This is not true. It's a requirement in many states' probations that probationers undergo regular polygraphy. If they fail the polygraph enough times, they get kicked out of state-mandated therapy and are violated.

Thousands of people are in prison right now over failed polygraphs.

In places with strong courts that won't put up with this, probation officers simply tell the therapist to write up the probationer for some other, vague non-compliance issue should they fail enough polygraphs

I live rurally, rn. A single car, a half mile away is loud enough that I can hear it while a rooster crows.

That same car is close to as loud as a gunshot from same distance--likely bc it's continuous.

I can easily hear a train thunder from 5 miles away.

If simply hearing a sound is an indication of noise then yes, but not hearing it because it's drowned out by other noise doesn't equal quiet.

Thank you for the considered response.

My GC comparison was meant to show how optimized systems remove unproductive consumers of resources.
Here 'unproductive' can simply mean consuming more net production than you generate (largely through tax and program subsidy).

The poor are, generally, unproductive. The uneducated are, generally, unproductive. The young are, generally, unproductive.

I had meant to illustrate that if elections had necessarily been created intentionally to perform a similar action, we would see elements in society that sought to perform a sort of socially Darwinian 'GC'. But we don't, we see the opposite where these groups are somewhat provided for despite their inefficiency and we have active programs that prevent (or attempt to prevent) them falling victim to the human equivalent of 'GC'.

I am meaning to use this as evidence that electoral democracies have evident features that developed over time counter to what majoritarian ruthlessness would suggest.

Then I threw a jab in at the end suggesting that this altruism can itself be a weakness if it is maintained in an increasingly resource-scarce environment (harder to develop/sustain complexity).

I generally agree with your political assesment. Humans are fundamentally seperate individuals, and thus have incentive for selfish strategies, but there are a lot of us and we compete in team because that too is a dominant strategy. Riding the line between group size, group cohesion, resource to power conversion efficiency, and individual vs collective interest is seemingly an eternal task.

This is a type of article called a “human-interest story,” and isn’t intended to teach you how to protect your home from fire. Instead, it’s soft news intended to create an emotional connection to the impact of the fires. This sort of story has been a staple of news writing for decades. It’s not new, and it’s not a sign of any sort of cultural problem. (Except, perhaps, HN’s cultural problem of middlebrow dismissals.)

Ouch, that's pretty nasty.

Also, I couldn't help but be amused by cheekiness:

"By a truly unbelievable coincidence, I was recently out for a walk when I saw a small package fall off a truck ahead of me. As I got closer, the dull enterprise typeface slowly came into focus: Cellebrite. Inside, we found the latest versions of the Cellebrite software, a hardware dongle designed to prevent piracy (tells you something about their customers I guess!), and a bizarrely large number of cable adapters."

I don't own an electric and never gone on a road trip with anyone who owned one. Are the charging points usually nothing more than a place to park and plug in? As a frequent road-tripper, I typically look for gas stations like you describe, and often opt for truck stops because they have all kinds of supplies services and tend to be staffed 24/7.

Given that charging takes more time than filling a gas tank, it seems like a real wasted opportunity to not have some kind of services associated.

To whom, and over what timescales?

I'd wager that the vast majority of Londoners living during the war did not see a net benefit from their neighborhoods being destroyed.

Whether or not future generations reaped a benefit at their expense is a utilitarian exercise for your imagination, but one example doesn't invalidate the economic principle (destroying resources is usually harmful, not helpful).
Well you can just... look them up. Some of these were new to me (e.g. firearm ballistics). But when it comes to stuff like the unreliability of drug tests or bite mark forensics, it's not at all a secret. Any recently published meta analysis would suffice. In fact I'd be shocked if you could find any in support of these methods.

I use them in python_dotenv for declaring environments that I use to provision infrastructure, as an example:

Example, where we have:

env_type="dev"

env_name="myappenv"

primary_subnet_pod="${env_type}-${env_name}-gke-pod-subnet"

primary_subnet_service="${env_type}-${env_name}-gke-service-subnet"

Which I then might want to use further down, override with defaults, etc and so forth. It strikes a decent balance in that it's a bit more powerful than a static .env file, but doesn't require you to go full-on templating language with Jinja and the like. It's also cross-platform enough in that you could throw a .env in somewhere and expect most languages to have a client library to parse and load it into env.

If your use-case is right in that sweet spot it's a pretty good tool. But the behavior, as noted, isn't specced so I can't trust go_dotenv or rust_dotenv or whatever other library to treat it the same way.

Interestingly, in practice, it seems like the Node lib is the canonical version that inspired these other ones so in a way it serves as some sort of unofficial spec. It's not something I would write production grade code trusting the unofficial spec on though.
History: greeks and romans traditionally had separated kitchens from homes due yo the use of hearths. Another aspect was fire. Kitchens used wattle chimneys which were super flammable, so it was placed as far away from the main home as possible - also kitchens were a lot noisier.
Hell why not add juries themselves to the list? A widely cited 2011 study[^0] found that the probability of a jury granting parole was around 65% at the start of a session but dropped to nearly 0% right before lunch. After having lunch the probability again jumps to ~65%

What kind of justice system do we have where whether or not people have had lunch is the biggest factor in outcomes?

Good answer, because there's no way Indy could have known the precise month or year the Map Room was built. The sun's angle changes throughout the day, making this a very time-sensitive operation. If Indy were off by even a few minutes, his calculations would be inaccurate.

Also: lack of scale would come into play. One would need much more precise dimensions of the staff, the height of the structure, and the angle of the sun's rays with much greater accuracy. Indy eyeballing it, as he does in the movie, wouldn't get him close to the location of the chamber. Indy and Sallah and crew would have needed to do a lot more digging and exploration to locate the Ark chamber (but of course, that wouldn't have made for a good movie, which is why such events are time-compressed).

I don't entirely understand the difference? As the USD has no inherent value, if you stabilize it against a measurement of various commodities you end up with the same thing where 1 'unit' of commodity groups = $x USD. Perhaps it's that the volume of commodities expands more regularly, so eases expansion of the monetary base more than e.g. gold where there is limited supply expansion?

Thank you for sharing the article. It makes many points that I found spot on.

Choosing a different phrase than open source defeats the purpose of improving "open source".

Imaging you want to bring down and rebuild a temple because it's constructed with asbestos (which now we know is carcinogenic) but some locals chain themselves to it and ask you to go build yourself another temple somewhere else. The goal is to reconstruct the temple to make it better for everyone.

My intention is not to be insensitive to some people's attachment to what they have chosen to worship (i.e. the software guidelines of 1997), but the absence of a practical solution would continue to hurt the [small] developers and users. This is where it matters to be clear on whose solution we are trying to solve: hackers/hobbyists, software engineers, software companies, consumers, or everyone! Something that I would consider a possible weakness of your article is that it suggests too many groups as the beneficiaries of the open source software. Open source as defined by OSI is not supposed to solve everyone's problem. It's mainly concerned with the needs of hackers. That's why I prefer the term "hackable software" over "open source" or "free software". The rights/freedoms that open source offers are mainly hacking rights. That was the whole idea from the beginning.

https://forum.resoldev.com/t/what-is-hackable-software/22

A mere consumer of software, or a software company can also benefit from open source, but open source demonstrably does not take all their needs into account.

https://forum.resoldev.com/t/is-open-source-relevant-to-your...

We can, however, update the definition to take the needs of more groups into account, and acknowledge their relevance to the open source community. Then it would make more sense for your customers to care about open source.

As for the companies that rely on an open source business model, I think there's really not any single event that is going to eliminate their need to pivot. Perhaps the competition would shift users' demand more toward privacy and security and away from hacking rights. That would put the followers of 1997 guidelines at a disadvantage. Many customers would prefer to use software that is not just "AS IS", but rather actively audited for them for free when their alternative choice is to choose a legacy open source and cross their fingers that "someone else" have audited the files.

As your second paragraph under "Open source is not for everyone" suggests, it's probably going to be a pendulum swing as it has always been. At first there was too many restrictions, now there is not enough restrictions. Maybe zigzag is the way to go forward. I doubt any solution would be good forever, not even a better open source definition.
