My mother suffers from pattern dystrophy, similar to macular degeneration but without an available treatment. Though she is now legally blind, she has practical vision remaining. For reading, she uses several visual aids -- large iPad for ebooks, magnifying glasses, and has a very large screen television used both for entertainment and as an extended computer monitor.
The point is that "as defined within the bounds of the law" is a subset of "the rules of the platform" and is thus meaningless here.

I wonder where they got those nukes from? Also, what about the remainder of Europe that did not have nuclear armaments?

Communism is an ideology that demands world conquest and the extinction of Capitalism. The Soviets expanded as far as they could and absolutely would not have hesitated to conquer more of Europe without the threat of the United States military and NATO.
The Phantom Leaf Effect
You've never heard the joke that FORD stands for "Fix It Again, Tony" (and, unrelatedly, FIAT stands for "Found On Roadside, Dead")?
There's fair criticism to be made of most translations.

The fallacy begins when one assumes that there is some kind of perfect ideal translation that exists somewhere, that translations can be compared to. Translation, especially literary translation, always involves some amount of arbitrary, artistic parti pris.

Wilson's translation involves a lot of formal (preservation of the number of lines, iambic pentameter) and rhetorical (modernization of the vocabulary) constraints that require sometimes wide deviation from the original. That's inevitable.

What's interesting however is to look at those deviations as an opportunity for conversation, not as an opportunity for correction, which is just nonsensical in the context of a translation that doesn't aim primarily at accuracy. Except for clear mistakes, most of the choices Wilson made were made in complete awareness of the trade-offs they involve.

The Twitter discussion fantasizes about a translation where no such trade-offs exist, which tells you enough about how much translation experience the authors have (none).

Whitaker's review is a good academic review that doesn't at least fall for those beginner misconceptions and recognizes trade-offs explicitly: "Both Green and Verity use a long, six-beat line. This has the advantage for them that they can translate almost every word of the Greek original. But it also, sometimes, leads to a wordiness, a certain turgidity in their versions that makes one sigh for the concision of Wilson."
A lot of good advice here but

> What opportunities are there for this also becoming a new, exciting chapter in life

I strongly, strongly advise caution with even bringing up a hint of "losing your eyesight could be an exciting new adventure!!"

It's pretty poor taste to try and find the upside of someone going through something that is likely traumatic for them. If they find some upside on their own you can encourage it, but that's all.
> it's pretty obvious why the chicken crossed the road

...but it isn't, that's why it's an entire category of jokes.
In the book, the Indian government takes unilateral action to cool the planet (spraying reflectants into the upper atmosphere, iirc) after the heat wave kills 20 million Indian people in the space of a few days - a few weeks. Given the fractious state of international politics and the urgency of the problem, this seems like a fairly realistic depiction of how efforts to cool the planet might commence IRL.
If they could make skywave propagation work consistently between two fixed locations at >30MHz, I would be very surprised. The lower bands are the ones that work well (particularly 3-14MHz at this point in the solar cycle).

Yes, you can get sporadic skywave as high as 50MHz sometimes... but it's really random and unreliable. They call it the "magic band" for a reason.
The casting flaw in the OP would never have passed through a working quality control system, which would be automated radiography. You don't just buy casting machines, you have to develop the organizational doctrine to put them into practice.
Some dealers offer third-party accessories as options on new cars. I had a car whose aftermarket sunroof was installed by the dealer when it was bought by the original owner. Fortunately, mine never leaked, but I'm not sure the US Lemon Laws would have covered it if it had.
The 50% or so difference is when both batteries are new. From what I've read Li-ion degrade faster than LiFePO4, so the difference becomes smaller over time (and might even reverse, but I don't have actual data).
Your premise is flawed -- these chemicals can of course be broken down. It may or may not happen in nature and may or may not be economical (yet), but there's nothing magic here.

Your prescribed solution is also flawed. It is impossible to prove a negative, so you are arguing we should stop inventing new things. These kinds of (Neo-)Luddist arguments always fail to take into account the huge upside of materials science over the past 100 years.
> C programmers could read java code and immediately understand

Uh... maybe? But Rust is more like a replacement to C/C++. So a better question is that whether C#/Java programmers could read C/C++ code and immediately understand those & and *.
Thanks for this... I'll take a look at how to get started on Mac OS with GNAT.

I went down a bit of a rabbit hole recently looking to see if there was a LLVM way to do this. It looked like it was being worked, but I'm not sure it's the best way to get started with Mac OS and Ada on Apple Silicon.

I'll check out homebrew and macports too... again, just in case!

Thanks again!
> the design of the language does not steer you into making good, idiomatic decisions.

That's much easier to do when the tasks that the language is suitable for are bounded in some way.

There are not many common idioms that are going to be shared (beyong libstdc++) between a realtime audio processing application and a data visualization backend for the web and an embedded system control app and a payroll processing backend.
> It's the one thing that's consistently sat in the back of my mind since age 5 and hasn't left

Sounds like my son. He's been having occasional existential crises since about that age (he is 10 now). I don't remember worrying about it myself at such a young age, though I definitely have thought about it too much as an adult. I've learned that lying awake at 2am in bed is the worst possible time for that thought to occur. Just have to turn on the lights in that case, and find something productive to do.

I keep telling myself that I didn't notice the billions of years before my birth, so I won't notice the ones following either. Life is infinitely long, from my own perspective.

> I felt as if they went for massive breadth instead of focusing on key concepts in depth.

To be fair, a bachelor's degree in CS is almost unavoidably going to do that to some degree. There's enough of a breadth of subject matter that it's going to be an overview of lots of things.

Of course it should still go into some depth, or it wouldn't be worth a university degree. If, for example, no basic understanding of time complexity (or complexity analysis in general) was taught for common data structures and some basic algorithms, I agree that sounds shallow for a university course on the topic.
What do you think Antarctica is? The entire place is a life and death situation.

Resources are sent to Antarctica to prevent it from degrading to a "reprehensible" situation. The entire reason why people aren't eating each other is because of this. You send "education" instead of resources you'd be insane and you'd lack understanding of the base cause of a lot of human evil. It definitely doesn't stem from lack of education.

Sexual Harassment is quite common place across the world where there's men. You will see that the rate of harassment increases with sex imbalance. Just look at male prisons.

The woman ironically must rely on men for protection from other men. And this is the fundamental problem with Antarctica because of the population imbalance.
I was in classes that averaged 30 chilren per class. I haven't gotten any individual instruction/teaching, and did just fine until high school math kicked in (bear in mind, this was Polish high-school math, and in a class that focuses on math), when I got lost and needed help of a tutor. But the other 98-99% of my school time, I was completely fine on my own. Also, I don't think I was any kind of exception.

I'm going to hop in here and add that it's hard to find things that work, as well.

Like right now I'm looking for a carpet cleaner that works as well as a professional model (or the professional model). Consumer models just seem flawed. In particular, even when they are meant to vacuum wet things, they internal that end up wet aren't cleanable. So I end up with internal mold and the suggestion that I clean it out with a wire. Disassembly instructions are multiple pages long, and still present the problem of cleaning curved plastic pipes.

I just to buy the same thing I can hire someone to use that will clean up after 3 dogs, and can itself be cleaned.
Weird eh? My understanding is tuna don't get parasites as often. I read about it here. [1]

> Exempted from the FDA's freezing requirements are, as Herron mentions, large species of tuna—deemed safe based on the frequency with which they are eaten in raw form and the infrequency of related, documented parasitic infection—as well as aquacultured fish, like salmon, given verification that the feed it's raised on is parasite-free.

> To meet FDA guidelines, every other type of fish must be frozen to those temperatures, even if the table does not indicate that it carries a parasite risk, because it "may have a parasite hazard that has not been identified if these fish are not customarily consumed raw or undercooked."

This kind of thing certainly stopped me from buying one, even in the days before they were referred to as “MAGAmobiles”.

Instead I waited for companies that actually know how to make cars to work out how to make electric cars.
As the article says on deworming, it’s not so simple: “Some medications for example could trigger inflammation as the larvae died off. An inflammation can be harmful to organs such as the brain, so they also needed to administer medications to counteract any dangerous side-effects.”

I understand some vaccines provide sterilizing immunity, others do not. Which is what is causing so much confusion as people are lazily refering to the vaccine "working" or "not working" without specifying what they mean by working.
For industrial manufacturing engineers in the audience - what is the threshold of cracking that’s acceptable in a casting this size given the constraints of safety and reliability?

Curious if selling this casting to a customer was an intentional decision, and if so, what the tolerances are for this type of deviation in a factory making cars.
I don't see where the document you cite makes this causal link. In my experience this is also not true. You pay enough for money not to be a concern. Then people start to value other things, such as not getting depressed through being micromanaged or killed by process.
I would not bank on Kia or Hyundai... A large swath of of their engines made within the last decade or so have a reputation for not lasting within or much beyond the warranty period, which has lead to multiple class-action lawsuits.

I have a Kia Sorento and overall it's a simple, honest car that's easy to work on and pretty well-built overall. But at 80k miles, the engine burns a quart every 1k miles which is entirely stupid. By comparison, our Mazda 5 (a very cheaply-made car!) engine lasted something like 150k miles and burned no oil with practically no maintenance to the engine.

I think a Toyota is in our near future.

I'd bet you could do a harness like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37292882 mentions but with Python in like an hour and then you could stay in both one syntax and more significantly in one library ecosystem. Why, 3 such things may even already exist. :) The syntax/semantics is not as optimized for 1-liner brevity, but everything has trade-offs.
Strictly perhaps yes, but I'm sure they will want to get rid of anybody who interferes with their plans.

I've been out of grad school for a bit now, but 10 years ago is about right. There were a lot of things being published about compilers that might have well been direct ports of papers written in the 70s, "now for JITs." And honestly, if you read some of those papers from the 70s about automatic parallelization and such, it was pretty freakin' cool. And there were memory guarantees in Fortran that were not present in C that made it non-applicable. Java had most/all of those guarantees, which is what I think brought about their revival. That's probably not the whole explanation, as I'm not sure why it took Java so long (these were 2010+ papers, 15+ years after Java came out).

You mastered engineering, physics and biology to survive traveling to distant solar system, however your spacecrafts keep crashing in atmosphere of Earth.

> Homework shouldn't exist anyway. Maybe, for higher level high school classes it makes sense. There's no reason to be giving homework to elementary and middle school kids. They get them for 8 hours a day, they don't need to be spending more time on school stuff after school.

Yes, also because it creates inequalities very early between children with parents who can afford spending time helping them (or paying someone to do so) and those who can’t.
They'll be responding to things like temperature, ph level, etc. since they don't have a map to follow, and over many many generations the ones that follow the environmental clues that lead them to the best places for them to go will be the ones that reproduce the most, hence "learning" (sort of) where to go through evolution.

Therefore when they find themselves in a new animal, like a human, they're not in a "shit I'm lost!" situation, they'll just act based on the same stimuli as normal, wherever that takes them.
Which explains computer programming
> it seems better to be safe than sorry

All other things being equal, it is better to be safe than sorry.

But that's not the choice offered.

One thing that you never needed the benefit of hindsight to understand is that there's a non-trivial risk to the vaccines as well. This always exists. For instance, it took science years to understand the full impact of Thalidomide.

In the small chance that these injections end up having substantial long-term problems with something like cancer or fertility, a universally applied treatment could be the destruction of humanity.

Trying to compel universal injections was always a foolish risk-management decision.
It’s the ingrained thought that one can preemptively control outside forces on one’s health. That because there’s more than 1, the statistic must mean, me too.

My recommendation is if you feel like you want piece of mind, to talk to your doctor about it. If your doctor recommends a treatment, follow it. Don’t just buy deworming medication because you fear you might have worms.
Yes. Thank you. His book Aurora does a much better job at steering us towards action while still showing consequences of environmental disaster and I highly recommend it.
If the comment sections on any news story about e.g. the Maui fire or any other natural disaster are an indication - the world's response will be hyperpartisan conspiracy mongering involving random rich people (Oprah, Zuckerberg and Obama in Maui), shady groups of profiteers (developers and clean energy installers), and fictional tech (directed energy weapons and various "lasers) rather than the shortest moment of introspection.

They do. The problem with the internet is not the technology, but the content. So, no internet, smartphones, TV, or even mainstream newspapers (they have their own).

But there's no issue with flip-phones, modern cars (including EV[1]), e-scooters, kitchen gadgets, and so on.

I should also point out that there's a continuum - in most communities internet access at home is acceptable as long as it's filtered. Smartphones are looked upon as worse than home internet access, mainly because they're easier to manage without.

> ...every time someone brought be a program for parallelisation, I could refactor it and get a 100 to 10,000 times speed-up on a serial machine...

That is a good summary of my experience working in HPC. Many HPC codes had a strong "just throw hardware at it" vibe with relatively little effort put into maximizing performance of individual nodes. There were a couple cases where the optimized code ran faster on my laptop than the supercomputer with the original code. Expensive network interconnects have diminishing returns if you don't do the software design work.

Another recurring issue was that the process nodes for exotic silicon was usually a few generations behind the state-of-the-art for commodity silicon, so even if I could get the exotic silicon to perform at its theoretical limits, the commodity silicon was sufficiently superior at the basics that you lost most of the advantages of the exotic architecture in practice with good performance engineering.
My point is that the vaccines abilities were oversold and underwhelmed people with their efficacy. This and several other policy missteps have severely undermined people’s trust regarding public health institutions.

> Your statement of "lithium ion packs are far more dangerous than gas stoves or general use of electricity" seems a bit far fetched.

I wish. I've installed distribution panels and gas gear and none of that comes close to working on a sizeable Lithium Ion pack in terms of risk.

If you don't believe me that is something I can not help but there are other commenters in this thread who back that up, surely the people that actually did this stuff have some relevant experience?

The stats are what they are because of the relative distribution of e-bikes vs gas stoves and such. What should worry you is that the number of e-bikes is still relatively low vs the number of gas stoves.

As for sharing the document, I'd love to but there is no email address visible in your profile, could you supply one please?
Working in the office or home my daily schedule was:
Wake 4:45am

Breakfast

Work

Play with kids while (slowly) teaching, working side projects.

Eat and Post dinner tasks (bedtime stuff)

Learn/Build for 15-60 minutes during wind down.

Bed at 10pm

Learning is done while at work, during naps, weekends.

Working after work is possible. Having kids brings clarity to our priorities. Mine at the moment is to maximize peace and stability.
The article also references the class of 1822, and the Roman numerals in the Academy's arms in the upper left of the page read 1802. With these three things taken together, it's hard to be sympathetic to the "founded in 1828" inferences.
From the website (https://s3fifo.com/), it claims that it needs no locking (backing scalability claims). This seems like an important part of their work too, unless I've missed some obvious trick that everyone uses. Naively, I would think that you can't update a hash table (to find the cache items efficiently?) and the queues at the same time without a lock. They surely aren't doing a linear search through the queue looking for a match
>Chinese-made Teslas are better quality than the ones that are American-made

Shit rolls up-hill. It's not that american factory workers are worse at assembling widgets than chinese factory workers, it's that american factory management is shit.

British Leyland would also traditionally make garbage cars, but when the Japanese came, those same workers were churning out good cars.

Processes, culture, management and leadership makes all the difference.
I am very happy with the progress of OpenTelemetry. When I pushed for it years ago, my developers where hesitant (it was new and they never heard about it) but when I revisited the topic a year ago, OpenTelemetry was everywhere in our systems and the log/tracability vendor we have was switching over to it.

Thanks to this amazing group!
I think it’s safe to say cracks in a structural member are always bad. I think the point the OP is making is that it looks like a manufacturing defect not the result of a crash.
