I saw this movie.

It's a tragic tale of how Melbourne was built in the 1880's gold rush and was a city of fabulous buildings and architecture.

During the early to mid 20th century, Melbourne decided it was old and staid and not "modern" and started relentlessly knocking down the gorgeous old buildings built during the gold rush.

Australia has always had a "cultural cringe", comparing itself to the rest of the world and feeling inferior and colonial. So in the 20th century there was a drive to make Melbourne "modern" like the rest of the world.

Property developers went on a multi decade wrecking spree.

Along the way Melbourne lost much of its fabulous gold rush era architecture. And in many (most?) cases the wrecked builds were replaced with nothing of any value, such as supermarkets or bland office towers.

In the suburbs, Melbourne lost many of its most beautiful cinemas built during the height of the cinema boom. When television came along, the cinemas where seen as of no value and many of them wrecked, again to be replaced with things like carparks.

If you live in Melbourne and find this stuff interesting and can find this movie at a cinema it is worth seeing.

Definitely! As a matter of fact, this is the default data structure I use when writing Ruby ETL code (e.g. https://github.com/thbar/kiba/wiki).

Methods like "except" (https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/3.2/Hash.html#method-i-except) or "fetch" (raising an error on missing key) are very convenient to write defensive data processing code!

Similarly, in Elixir, I use Maps a lot for the same type of jobs (https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/1.15.4/Map.html), with similar properties.

There are some other reasons, but that's one of them.

Another is that you want to guarantee objects are stored aligned in memory because that gives you some free bits in pointers you can hide stuff in. (This has less hardware support than it should.)
I would assume most witchcraft accusations are made by people who believe in witchcraft and believe that the person they're accusing is a witch.
According to the article, the state shield law says that you can't execute a search warrant on a newspaper. It must be a subpoena in order to prevent abuse of power against the free press.

> Allegedly, they weren't trying to uncover newspaper sources, they were investigating identity theft.

The allegation of identity theft got them the warrant. However, that allegation seems like a lie, when it's compared against the event the cops were investigating.

Reporter Phyllis Zorn verified the tip by conducting a driver’s record search on the Department of Revenue’s website, using Newell’s first and last name and the driver’s license number for Newell that the record had received from its source. The results showed the tip about Newell’s record was accurate.

Being caught in a lie might explain why the warrant was withdrawn.

Except that SARS-1 causes ~10x the fatality rate, and correspondingly more serious nonfatal sickness? That obviously makes contact tracing easier than for a novel virus with symptoms easily misattributed to a common cold or flu.
This feels inherently suspicious.

Newspaper investigates local restaurant. Newspaper investigates local police. Local police go to local restaurant owner. "Hey, those reporters we both hate, they didn't happen to break some law did they?" Or the same thing, but initiated by the restaurant owner bitter over the negative investigation.

Under normal circumstances alleging misconduct by reporters who conducted a truthful negative investigation of you would have negligible credibility, because you have an obvious motive to fabricate. The police taking the allegations seriously solely because they too hate the reporters is, of course, misconduct.

> The 'scripting' vs 'compiled' language is a false dichotomy.

Not false, but perhaps in need of better definition. The term script has often denoted a trivial set of commands run by $interpreter.

"Scripting languages" have been seen as being in contrast to C, C++, Pascal, Java, SmallTalk, &c. The scripting languages remove from the user the need:

-a- to think about an extensive type system,

-b- to compile the logic, and

-c- to build for a specific architecture.
1. I was responding to a comment invoking ipsum esse subsistent, and it remains true that it is not related to the position of Spinoza being discussed here.

2. According to Aquinas (as you linked), God is "present" inasmuch that God acts on all things ("God is in all things; not, indeed, as part of their essence, nor as an accident, but as an agent is present to that upon which it works"), and Spinoza was certainly more extreme than that. Spinoza thought the world (and everything in it) is a "mode" of God.

Burning plant material at the very least still has nasty hydrocarbons and soot in it, and generally cannabis smoke is held longer than cigarette smoke. So even if it doesn't have additives like the tobacco in cigarettes, it's still bad for you. HOW bad likely depends on a number of factors. Flower vaporizers are likely on the less harmful end while vaping THC oil cartridges are likely on the more harmful side, so even among "vaping" the risk could be variable.

Straight up burning flower though? It's probably as good for you as it makes your breath smell afterwards.

As others have pointed out, GCC is completely allowed to do this because unaligned access is UB.

So the problem is not that GCC assumes your code has no UB.

The issue is that the C (and C++) specifications persist in this obnoxious and odious desire to label definable behaviour as UB, with no justification.

All of the arguments about needing UB to support different hardware fail immediately to the simple fact that the specification already has specific terms that would cover this: Implementation Defined Behavior, and Unspecified Behaviour. Using either of these instead of UB would support just as much hardware, without inflicting clearly anti-programmer optimizations on developers where the compiler is allowed to assume objectively false things about the hardware.

Undefined behaviour should be used solely for behavior that cannot be defined - for example using out of bounds, unallocated, or released memory cannot be defined because the C VM does not specify allocation, variable allocation, etc. Calling a function with a mismatched type signature is not definable as C does not specify the ABI. etc.

I am thankful that, despite what I see as The Bloating or heaviness of recent mainstream distros/direction, we still have the stable underlying it_just_works framework of Debian as a common factor, enabling user choice across a range of options.

Essential anecdata : for the few computers in my household, the user experience and stability of certain mainstream Debian-based Linux distros cratered hard after, let's call it 20.x, and I doubt it would be possible to achieve the "I set up a 16.x machine for my parents in 2016, and to this day, It Just Runs, No Questions Asked, Ever" in the same way with today's equivalents - unless stepping back to a simpler incarnation of the Debian family. I'm thankful to be able to do that, and in my house, that thanks goes to the ever-present Debian.

Yeah, for my personal apps I just write offline-first apps. I need to make it so I can build apps as efficient as I can as I don't have a lot of free time. So, I wrote a little library under 1kB that just finds where I left off and re-centers/focuses there. It makes for dead simple applications.[^1]

I also created an HTMX-like library that is focused on forms so it stays to the HTML speck pretty closely. I need to make a couple of corrections to it. But it is amazing how far it can get you and much smaller footprint than HTMX. Granted, it can only do a fraction of what HTMX can do.[^2]

For anything stateful I just use web components.

Indeed, those two statements are the same thing.

If you want a correct compiler it has to be correct according to a model, which means it can't handle things outside that model, and now you have "undefined behavior".

People want compilers to limit how much they transform UB, but that's not possible unless it gets defined. Which you can do, of course, but it's more limiting than it looks.
The article has nothing to do with modern Wiccan religion like the one you posted, but rather accusations of traditional witchcraft as something superstitions people fear and claims of which are used to attack others (often women, the elderly, and outsiders).
That looks really nice. I'm sure it's a great solution for lots of developers.

I think I'm going to stick with nix. VM's, docker, orbstack and nix all seem to let me make a machine that looks like "X". The thing is, docker and VM's provide an abstraction that works 95% of the time, but that last 5% is awful (I don't know about orbstack).

Nix, by all appearances (and my limited experience) is much much worse up front. there's a lot to learn. But in exchange I get to keep control. This abstraction is wrong, we're not doing that, we're doing this. I'm not asking, I'm telling.
I’d argue it’s safer to have the paradigm of “i own stuff then delegate it you” (ie down the stack) then the non hierarchy chaos the heap invites

one small detail, public testing is pretty much dead those days. Entire Santa Clara county had 1 testing location available (downtown San Jose).

There is no evidence that the newspaper was engaged in questionable behavior. The attorneys for the state have suggested the search warrant was faulty and have withdrawn it [0]

There is evidence that the sheriff had motive for punitive behavior against the newspaper.

We rightly hold raids on newspapers to a higher standard, this standard was not met and the police likely broke several laws because of it. That’s what the article documents.

To summarize, you didn’t summarize at all. You presented a biased defense of the police that is not in evidence in the linked article, nor anywhere else.

Also, computing industry seems to be unique in that tools for professionals and toys for general audience are being developed to the lowest common denominator of the latter. This is what's changed in the past 1.5 decade. Can you imagine surgeons or civil engineers doing their jobs using tools designed to take advantage of Joe Always Half-Drunk and Jane the Long Retired Grandma and the likes?

(This is partially where the idea that "customer doesn't want a drill, they want a hole in a wall" leads people astray.)

> Imagine architects building shittier bridges that use more resources, because that's easier and quicker. That's perfectly fine for individual architects, but as a trend it's just regression.

That is unfortunately happening everywhere, as the "cost function" driving optimization isn't global/general efficiency, but business efficiency. Initially these two are correlated, so any new industry tends to first develop in ways that cut down waste. But then it transitions to reducing costs to company, by generating more waste, just for someone else. Externalities seem to be a general problem for our civilization today.
It was mostly just a recommendation to check out. I did not actually do it myself, but I tend to think I could have right after lin.alg./multivar calc freshman year and would have preferred it. Can't prove that, of course, since I didn't do it, but a year later I was loving Landau's Classical Theory of Fields which has a very similar relativity-first approach, and I did know a lot of relativity in high school. Wolfram went right from high school to grad school in physics at Caltech. The only very recently deceased late great Ed Fredkin got to be head of the MIT CS department with naught but a high school degree due to various life interventions and had some interesting "digital physics" ideas.

There are lots of pathways to learn & do. That is especially true of people coming to topics later in life, as I might expect is more common for HN comment thread readers. I know someone who learned to program in x86 assembly before they learned C (in fact one of the best programmers I know). If you talk to such people, I think you will find that their more varied backgrounds / ages in life when they approach things make anyone's dogmas more suspect. A great numerical relativist didn't study physics until his 30s. No idea what order he did things in, but I heard it was very non-standard.

So, I would encourage you to have more imagination of what might be possible / be less dismissive / jumping to conclusions. That is needlessly discouraging to many here were bemoaning "soooo many books/years/etc". "Ambition" might be "first learn diffgeo, then learn physics". I've been recommending that lately to a friend with extreme mathematical sophistication (a professor even) but no physics exposure, actually, but already some diffgeo exposure.

And, of course, "to learn physics" is maybe not to be a "produced physicist" any more than "to learn networks" means to "build a hardware router". It all depends. IMO, there are too many levels (& even directions/dimensions) of "having learned" to really even make "just can't", "only way" statements like you did. Elsethread, the diversity of even what "physicists" wind up having learned is shown to vary considerably (e.g. continuum mechanics). I find such absolutist statements needlessly discouraging to someone who might be hopeful to do it in "fewer steps". The way for most need not be the way for all or even the recommended way for any one person. People vary.
I don't understand the moralised takes on what are essentially just interesting statistics.

From a climate perspective it's almost completely irrelevant how much electricity we use or what percentage is assigned to each thing.
