> "If this was punch card input, or 110 baud teletypes, where program listings come back at a snails pace and use paper"

So if your typing speed hasn't gone up in proportion to the increase in Baud, I'm guessing your reading speed also hasn't gone up tens of thousands of times, and your ability to hold working state in your head hasn't gone up thousands of times, what is the advantage of increased Baud to code readability which you are talking about?

Let's say I'm not disagreeing, but I'm trying to dig into what specifically the change is which makes the difference; the computer can display more code at you per second than 1950 but humans can't read much faster than 1950 so that doesn't seem like it will help. Presumably longer books aren't inherently more readable than shorter books?

Can it be that Python is more readable because it lets you skim over and not read more of the code? Since not-reading isn't reading, it seems like 'more filler' that you don't read isn't what adds to readability.

It presumably isn't that Python is more English-y because languages which tend towards English words (SQL, Objective-C, PowerShell Cmdlets, Applescript, BASIC) are often maligned specifically for that reason, and because Python isn't English - you couldn't speak it to Shakespeare and have him understand you).

It presumably isn't because Python uses fewer symbols, or we'd all love to write Java style var1.Equals(var2) instead of == and var1.Plus(var2) instead of + and people seem to dislike that also. Why would + be preferred over .plus() but .sum() be preferred over +/ ?

Is it that Python has more visible structure to hang understanding on? Is it that it's more like walking compared to jogging compared to sprinting, that one can sustain a lower effort 'slower read' for longer?

I believe that tailscale recently (~3 months ago?) made some significant performance improvements and this comparison was from before that. But, they can have performance differences because, I believe, on Linux netmaker uses the kernel Wireguard where tailscale uses a user-space go implementation.

A 15km chunk of solid iron, now that's the kind of bunker buster you throw around in an interplanetary war.

Would it do more damage to the surface than a rocky asteriod of comparable mass, though? If it burrows deeper, it means it transfers more of its energy to the mantle and core of the Earth, and less to the crust. It will be like a full metal jacket bullet that goes straight through the target and transfers most of its energy to the wall on the other side, versus a regular bullet that tumbles and expands as soon as it hits the target.
I do agree with you.

Google's behavior in regard to informations reminds me a lot of the "torrent leeches" of the past: siphon everything you can, give nothing back, ..., profit. But at a huge scale with an impact on society far more than "a few more bytes on a personal hard drive".
You can at best save log2(n)-1.4 bits per entry using smarter encoding compared to a naive list. That's perhaps a factor of 2-3x, depending on list size and acceptable false positive rate. For example if you have a list of a billion entries and accept a one in a million false positive rate, the naive list needs 30+20=50 bits, while an ideal encoding will need 21.4 bits, a 57% reduction.

So I don't think bloom filters have a significant impact on the manageability of those lists. Though I doubt the storage size will be the main concern, compared to the effort of adding entries to that list.
Only for the record, at the time the Seagate issue was due to a bug in the firmware, when the drive was powered and found a counter at certain values, it went into a sort of loop and failed to "boot" (the internal OS) further.

Most of the work going on with rendering people speaking isn't to defeat captchas, so you can't use the speed of that work to judge how fast people will be able to work to defeat a captcha. Also if it were in use people would frequently change the kind of actions they are asking for.

>Real time-ness and a good deal of rendering fidelity can be mitigated by pretending to have crappy network connection once the prompt is given,

Real timeless and rendering fidelity are the only part about this that isn't solved, so there's no real debate to have if those constraints aren't there.

>unless you are comfortable excluding people without reliable internet.

If this was a real thing, I will absolutely bet that companies would exclude people with unreliable internet once I becomes known that all scammers are pretending to have unreliable connections.

"Please find a more reliable connection, or stop by the nearest Identity Check facility to authenticate yourself."

>I think the bigger issue is probably with the premise though.

I don't think this is likely to happen either. I think the most likely solution is trusted third party in person verification. Where I could see something like this working is if the third party verification service offered a 1 time remote verification process that functioned something like this.

Wasn't satisfied with zotero and mendeley for pdf reference management. Wanted something terminal based and simple, so I wrote a shell script that I eventually rewrote in python. Given a pdf, it reads it, tries to find the article doi and fetches metadata from crossref to rename the file and store metadata in the file itself. I Plan on integrating features like interactive tagging and tag browsing from the terminal.

Any help with code review or additional features are welcome :)

> if you let the auto-formatter do its job by setting the tab width to 4 spaces.

I think the autoformatter should use typewriter tabs (so that you could have your first tab in column 4, the second in column 30 and a decimal tab in column 40, and, in another code block, tabs at columns 4 and 12, for example) and dynamically adjust the width of each column.

It should show the code in the way the viewer can best understand it, picking fonts, colors, indentation and empty lines to their preference.

Except for a few esoteric programming languages where spaces are highly significant, that could mean showing hugely different things to different people.

Open issue with that is that code reviews could get more difficult (things like “two lines up” might not make sense if you prefer function arguments on separate lines, and I prefer them on a single line)

When things go wrong in real money land, we have a whole legal framework with standing precedent and built up processes for resolving them. Nevermind the fact that I can just call up my local pizza place, give them a credit card number, and get a pizza. Over in the crypto-hellscape, ever since the fall of the big darknet markets, the only real use case for cryptocurrency is trying to convince other people that everybody's getting rich, so that you can sell them your cryptocurrency for real money.

Technologies like solar and wind are actually very ugly! No one is suggesting moving to them flippantly, and certainly not because of an aesthetic.

To the extent that we can make the planet more survivable, fossil fuels is our number one energy source for making that happen, and nothing comes close. I’m a fan of solar and wind, as much as I am of hydroelectric, but they simply can’t handle the demand at their current output. Not to mention, they require energy from the burning of fossil fuels to build their own infrastructure, and then even more to provide the on-demand backups whenever the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow enough.

The energy we derive from fossil fuels is precisely why we have thriving civilization and flourishing humans today. Nowhere where fossil fuels are absent do we see such flourishing. That doesn’t mean we should put our heads down and burn burn burn until the planet runs dry. It means we should acknowledge the good and the bad, and work towards a more sustainable future.

In my opinion, until we come up with a better way to harness solar energy (which is what hydrocarbons actually are), we can’t lock ourselves into solar panels and batteries. There has to be something more efficient and cheaper than hydrocarbons.

It’s nuclear. Nuclear is the answer. The faster we can get people, countries and continents to adopt nuclear, the faster we can move toward a future where our energy concerns effectively disappear.

No, it's absolutely a proof.

Claim: There is no odd number in {2, 4, 6}.

Proof: 2 is not an odd number, 4 is not an odd number, 6 is not an odd number, there are no other elements in {2, 4, 6}. Therefore, there is no odd number in {2, 4, 6}.

If there was simply an absence of proof, we would be forced to conclude that we don't know whether there's an odd number in {2, 4, 6}. That's clearly not the case.

The claim "S is a set with no odd number" is equivalent to the claim "S is a set where all numbers are even", which is something I assume you agree that we can prove.

Phones are much easier to control than general-purpose computers; broadly-speaking, consumers get phone software from 'stores' that are gated by companies that can be controlled. That is, if it can be controlled by government, it will be. Doesn't make that kind of control "reasonable".

And you can "require" what you like; unless you have real control, then you won't get what you "require".
Isn't this what Wechat does? On the mainland you have to give them your bank account information, have a friend vouch for you (and that friend will also be kicked off if you misbehave), do it on a real phone that you can shake in a specific way when asked, and have a government ID.
>But who needs all those tabs anyway?

While doing research, each search yields numerous links that I need to evaluate so I'll open them all in tabs and then I go through them as a task list to whittle down.

I have a whole window for just email + comms. I have several different businesses that all use separate email, etc in containers.

I also have several interests where each gets its own window and has up to 24 pinned tabs of key sites for that topic. These are not business, so I don't have time pressure to whittle down the tabs that I open.

I currently have 368 tabs open and they are all easy to access: Select a window by topic (I use the Titler extension to name windows) and I have 3 rows of 8 tabs pinned at the top and up to 37 tabs with 40 characters of tab name space. So in each window, I can see 61 tabs without scrolling.

Why would I ever want "tab discipline?"

> Which means the party either has to take a 100% chance or failure or a 20% chance that he can pull a rabbit out of the hat again.

If the Republican Party had half a brain, they'd not just be worried about 2024. They'd dump Trump, take whatever beating they get in 2024, do well in 2026, and run anybody but Trump against Harris in 2028. They'd probably dominate 2028.

> So he tries again. And this time the kid gloves are off. Everything is on the table. Literally everything.

Yeah, I'm worried about that too. I hear echoes of the Roman Civil War. Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon with his army because it was his only alternative to being destroyed by his political enemies. Trump is in the same position. (I mean, Trump is there almost totally because of his own doing, far more than Caesar was.)

The main difference is that the US army is not personally loyal to Trump, the way Caesar's army was to him. Trump may call for an uprising; way too many people may follow. I hope it's not enough to cause a full civil war, though.
I feel bad for mice. We've solved so many of their health issues and they never get to benefit from them.
No it doesn't but the existence was the premise of the discussion. I do think that something like this could happen if trusted 3rd party identification services start to pop up. But only as a 1 time verification with the option of doing a 1 time in person verification.

Depends on how badly the given service wants to keep out bots as to whether they'll start requiring some kind of guaranteed identity check.
