> There's a current RFC to use existing crates as namespace prefixes for projects.

Thrs is not intended as a general purpose namespacing but to allow semi-open (rust) namespaces and should only be used if it makes sense in the code itself.

EDIT: Another one:

> crates.io relies on GitHub for identities, but GitHub usernames are not permanent. Crate names must be permanent. Letting the two out of sync creates new problems.

GitHub is also an implementation detail and they don't want to couple features to github.

I understand that they are aware of this and that they are thinking about changing it.
The opposition to mandatory training is because the actual goal is usually to harass and discourage or raise revenue rather than improve safety. There's plenty that's been tried and none of it seems to have improved safety outcomes. The people who are irresponsible with guns pretty much always know better and decided to be stupid, anyway.
Informative sub-reddits are valuable because they are carefully moderated by humans. Just like Hacker News is.
Dig into it further; it's been one of the "qualifying reasons" for some of the states with the hardest-to-get CCW permits.

Perhaps I didn’t make myself clear:

The judge cannot set aside a verdict of innocent. If the jury declares you innocent, you are innocent and nothing can change that.

The judge can only set aside a verdict of guilty. This is a good thing! It protects people from a bad jury. I don’t know why this seems so surprising.

If you’re found guilty you also have the ability to appeal to a higher court. If your conviction is overturned on appeal then what did that mean? The judge at the appeals court overrode the decision of the jury. This is effectively the same thing as the trial judge setting aside a jury verdict, just with more procedure involved.

It requires a change in attitude and is more knowledge-intensive.

Additionally, it probably requires more labor initially, although that decreases as the soil improves.

The promises of syntropic farming are many: large yields; multiple income streams; optimal use of land; no need for external inputs; improved soil quality; minimal weeding; plant resilience due to biodiversity; and better water management, both in extreme wet and dry times. Gietzen tells the story of Götsch’s cacao farm, showing that an established syntropic system can sustain high productivity with a level of labor that is comparable to that needed to manage a conventional farm. However, syntropic farming can be complicated to understand and apply. It requires in-depth knowledge of biological processes, access to many different kinds of seeds, and careful management.

He refused to use artificial fertilizers and pesticides. He let most of the land grow naturally, and on 12 hectares (30 acres) he planted bananas and cocoa, cutting back the surrounding trees regularly. Today, he harvests an average 920 kgs (2,000 lb) of cocoa beans per hectare, more than three times the average across Brazil of 300 kg (660 lb) per hectare. And because he doesn’t spend money on fertilizers and pesticides, unlike the farmers around him, Götsch enjoys higher profits.

...

Then a drought hit the region. But not on Götsch’s farm. The dense vegetation of the 120 hectares locally created a lot of evaporation and the rain continued to fall. His success as a “rainmaker” finally earned Götsch the respect of his neighbors. They started to imitate him. Today, the forested area in the surroundings spans 1,000 hectares (2,500 acres). “When you fly over my finca now, you can’t see it anymore, because it is covered by clouds all year round,” Götsch says proudly.

People are of course complicated, but Fayed seems, uh, more complicated than most [1]:

> In 1964 Fayed arrived in Haiti, one of the world’s poorest nations, hailed as a rich sheikh from Kuwait. He romanced one of Papa Doc’s daughters and persuaded Duvalier to give him an oil concession and a contract to manage the Port-au-Prince harbour. The Duvaliers’ love affair with Fayed was short-lived. Early in 1965 the fake sheikh left Haiti, never to return. More than $100,000 (almost $1m today) was reportedly found to be missing from the port authority’s bank account.

> A dangerous opponent, [Fayed] would make the wildest allegations in public as well as private against enemies or those he blamed for setbacks. He fabricated documents and paid witnesses to perjure themselves. It was often difficult to detect whether Fayed himself believed the allegations he repeated with such conviction.

> There were repeated allegations of sexual harassment of female staff. Some who complained were accused of theft and on occasions arrested by local police only too willing to accept allegations (later dropped) from a powerful patron. In 2009 the Crown Prosecution Service decided not to charge Fayed over the claim he had sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl at the store. Fayed had been interviewed by Scotland Yard under caution. He was interviewed again in 2013 after a woman alleged he had sexually attacked her at his Park Lane apartment after a job interview. The police reopened the case in 2015 but took no further action. Fayed always denied the allegations. Further sexual harassment allegations were made by former Harrods employees in a Channel 4 documentary in 2017 and to Channel 4 News in 2018. One ex-employee claimed to have accepted £60,000 to drop a sexual harassment claim. Fayed again denied the allegations and the police took no action.

I guess you could also claim that the British press has had and continues to have it out for him, so these are just skewed portrayals of a bon vivant, or something. But from the uninformed outside he certainly looks like a guy who made his money as a fixer/corruption specialist (like the people who built industrial empires after the collapse of the USSR -- they certainly won a hard game, but it's difficult to say they did something good) and mostly used it to make life unpleasant for people around him.

Enough to bore my family! Genealogy is fun, at least for me...

With modern technology, it's easier than ever to dig into the primary sources and find out more about your ancestors.

But I would warn everyone to stay away from the big commercial genealogy companies. For one, they have extremely bad privacy practices (they will never, ever, stop spamming you), for the other, they have no interest in the truth and will happily tell you what you want to hear to keep you as a customer (they encourage very bad genealogical practices).
Definitely a worthwhile goal. But could you explain how you think this relates to the population peaking below 9B in the 2050s?

> where kids generally grow up and move far away for jobs - having had children would probably not help much with that.

Companionship was never a part of why I fathered children. And in hindsight, raising my daughters was the most meaningful thing I did in this life.

I'm just suggesting that there may be other motives for parenting.

Big Brothers and Sisters of America is an organization that pairs men up with boys who are in single-mother families (and I guess now women with single-father girls). (I was a "little brother" when I was young.)

I am not sure about whether a single male is eligible (I don't see why not?) but AFS and other "foreign exchange student" organizations might be another avenue to "parenting" of a sort. I also found the 10 months or so I spent being a host parent to be very rewarding.

Census: the estimated return rate of the last census was 97%, i.e. 3% of the population didn't give it back. That's millions of people even by the official numbers. Yet there are only ever a few hundred people who get convicted for failure to complete the census. Meaning, the chances of anything bad happening to you for not filling out the census is on the order of 0.01%. That's a very weak incentive for honesty. If you're already living on the outskirts of the law (illegal immigrant, trafficked, etc), you can just ignore it, and it'll be about as risky as ignoring a TV license threat letter. The accuracy of the census depends on the bulk of the population's honesty and willingness to do this civic duty. Most people think "oh that's something you just have to do", like stopping for traffic lights on an empty road at 2am. It's an illusion, you can just ignore it.

The census is meant to be the single source of truth from which all other population-related metrics are derived, but since it only comes around once every 10 years it's usually out of date. In practice you always need a bunch of fudge factors to account for population growth, immigration, emigration, people moving around, etc in the years since the last census was taken. And that's not even accounting for tourists and so on. I've seen how this sausage is made; you just get used to the idea that the census info is merely a rough guess that you have to finesse until the numbers look reasonable. Those fudge factors are themselves often taken from ONS projections. So if the ONS itself has a small systematic undercount because of an overly-optimistic methodology, that poisons all calculations downstream.

As for the registers: the point in that thread is that the registers disagree with each other. Covid-era NHS patient counts, for example, because it's obviously in people's interest to get healthcare in the way it isn't to fill out a census form. EU settlement applications is another one.

Surveillance cameras: do you know what the "CC" in "CCTV" means? It's not all fed into a giant database. There's nobody combing through all that video and counting how many people are there. In almost all cases the data is retained for a few days and then gets destroyed with no human eye ever looking at them.

For all the talk of mass surveillance, there is still an enormous world that lives hidden outside the notice of the state. You only see the outlines of it during unusual events like Covid or Grenfell, like a lightning bolt suddenly illuminating the landscape for a split second. There were dozens and dozens of people living in that tower that the local authority had no idea existed. We only know about it because it went up in flames -- it can't be unique.

Did you evaluate Cython? I'm not anti-Julia, but I like that my Cython code is useable out of the box from Python, with no wrapping, and then users can continue to use their Jupiter + Python scripting workflows with performant bespoke modules complemented by the full Python ecosystem.

Someday I'll do a project in Julia. But for some such projects, Rust seems fully guaranteed to be performant while Julia might or might not be, so I might still lean towards Rust (unless one of the high quality packages of Julia removes a lot of development time, which is a decent possibility).
I feel bad for the people that now want to have had children but didn't but as a father of two, if you didn't directly plan to have kids it might have been better that you didn't, kids take a lot of work, you have to be in the right place to do it.

I used to be the person that said "yeah, go have kids" and now I'm "only do it if you're completely sure its what you want" because if you're not it's the children suffering through it.

> but a young man whose main motive for marriage is "so I don't regret not having kids when I'm old"

I had a spit take here. When people say they regret not doing something, they are talking about regretting not everything that came along with doing that thing, not just avoiding the emotion of regret later in life.

You could rephrase that into "a young man whose main motive for marriage is to have a loving, fulfilling family which they would prefer much more than staying single, esp later in life" and it's a pretty anodyne take on why anyone gets married and starts a family.

When someone says they regret not quitting smoking 30 years ago or starting to exercise daily, are they just talking about avoiding the emotion of regret in 30 years?

Food forests also don’t do well producing the most highly subsidized crops (rice, cotton, feed corn & soy, etc).

> precautionary principle

Thank you, wasn't sure what it was called but have witnessed it quite a bit.

I don't have the sources, but we have hydrocarbon-consuming bacteria that eat oil and plastic (and have effectively cleaned up BP and Exxon-Valdez), as well as radiation-eating bacteria that live underground that have made Chernobyl almost habitable again. I'm sure there are other strange circumstances that arise that serve to "fix" defects within nature.

To add to that, completely removing 1 species from any habitat has repeatedly shown climate shifts, but rarely outright destruction of the biome. The only time that ever happens is when an entire class of species goes missing.

I don't mean to wax philosophical here, but the cosmological basis of belief has a lot to do with it. If the order that constitutes nature itself is the product of a complete random chance, we're one random permutation away from the stasis we're in. If any form of eminence defined this universe, however, we have room for error.

It is theoretically possible as a single male, but there are many more restrictions - in practice its very very rare. For example, see these requirements for a very large international adoption agency: [1]. In my experience there is, as OP describes, a strong stigma against single males, not just that they are considered perverts, but also that they are considered incapable of taking on this responsibility alone, not nurturing enough, too career-focused, etc.

I have zfs root on ubuntu; moving to another ssd was trivial: add the second drive, recreate the partition scheme (esp, bpool, rpool), add them as mirrors to existing pools, and while waiting while it mirrors up, reinstall grub on the new esp. After mirroring is done, check fstab for UUIDs, reboot, check, whether everything is ok, remove the old drive from the mirror. Done.

Though I consider zfs to be nice, I'm willing to use it only with distributions, where it comes with the distribution, built for the distro kernel (i.e. ubuntu or proxmox). In the past, I've wasted too much time with dkms, failing to build the kernel modules, or kABI modules failing to load, or other problems that left me without root filesystem at reboot. That's not an experience I'd like to repeat. Also, btrfs is nice too ;).
