> Cool - but you didn't propose anything?

Indeed, I didn’t. I just said that we should treat Google with at least the same scrutiny we treat the government. I didn’t say that porn should be allowed on YouTube. I didn’t say that Russel Brand is a YouTube employee. That’s all your weird imagination.

Employers and clients of private companies are protected all over the world for various reasons and it doesn’t result in weird problems you come up with. Should black people be Google employees to not get racially discriminated for using YouTube? No. It is a protected class. Should Germans be employed at a pharmacy to get the right to buy drugs? No. It’s a law that they can get it without any discrimination. I am talking about very basic things that already exist and we can’t even get past that in our discussion.

> Google isn't a government entity and I don't want them to be one.

> They don't have police powers

I really can’t see much difference between Google banning me on monopolistic YouTube or the government banning me on monopolistic StateTube. You aren’t getting in jail in either case. Actually, there is one difference: StateTube would at least be governed by a democratically elected body.

I hope we both at least can agree that having StateTube as a de facto monopoly would be bad. So why should YouTube, that seems clearly worse, be considered good?
that is not the case at this point. updates, deletes, and vacuuming are all available.

> we're still inventing languages where local variables can be mutated

Local mutability is probably one of the most common uses of mutability. A lot of it is using local state to build up a more complicated structure, and then getting rid of that state. Getting rid of that use-case is just giving up performance.
The Sword and the Shield is _great_. It's been a long time since I read it but I don't remember it outlining murdering western citizens who were just dissidents. I do remember a few plots to kill KGB defectors. The more interesting part of that book about assassinations were how many foreign leaders (including nominal allies) they contemplated killing and how close they got to some of them.

Fortunately life expectancies are steadily rising even in the African countries hardest hit by HIV. Eswatini for instance has over 25% of the population HIV positive, but the life expectancy is now up to around 60 years (it was around 40 two decades ago), only 5 years behind Pakistan.
I would have expected some reference to Roko's basilisk.
I think my examples do actually work well, in that the painter and the TV reporter ARE incentivized, short term to do those clickbait things, in exactly the same way YouTube creators are.

In all cases, reality will catch up to them, and in the long term they will be punished for what they did in the name of short term gains.
I'd also like someone with experience to contrast redis for these use cases.

Couldn't agree more, messages should be completely agnostic from one-another. If you have a decent event-driven architecture, you don't need kafka. and you can be happy with Redis or RabbitMQ
Yeah, I have the rocker switches ("Diva") and they are not particularly tactile. To me the worst feature is that they aren't instant off when you press the off side of the rocker; there is like a 500ms ramp down time. This has no negative effect on my life, of course, but it does bug me. I bought this system before I knew that anything hacker-friendly even existed, so I'm always slightly disappointed, but at the same time... they work really well and I wouldn't replace them at this time. Also, no neutral wire required, which is quite convenient for my older electrical system. (My apartment was apparently completely remodeled in 2017. The electrical system is original to the 1950s building, though. Weird stuff. I'm very jealous of the smarthome YouTubers in their brand-new house with 200A electrical service and those blue plastic wall boxes.)
I am not. I think that technology is not neutral, and I believe that saying "it is neutral, except when it is not" means that it is not neutral. I don't care how often it is not neutral. If it can ever be not neutral, it means that you should always question it, because obviously it would not be ethical to build evil technology.

In this case, I don't see what good comes from the technology that enables deepfakes, but I would love to be enlightened.

I still don't understand what your opinion is, though.
Can say the same thing about Jordan Peterson, no? Content from 5-10 years ago was interesting. Now I have him muted on X.
Alright, we’ll have to agree to disagree.
If they're aware of how other languages either handle these issues or suffer the consequences of not handling them, then it sure is odd that they consciously decided to introduce the same issues into their own language, only to fix them down the road.
Short of buying your own hardware, MacStadium is the superior alternative here.
That's the first language change that can in theory break programs (in practice, it won't). Everything else was just additions to the existing language with full backwards compatibility. That's the opposite of constantly patching the language up.

> U.S. officials said Huawei has built equipment that secretly preserves its ability to access networks through [lawful intercept interfaces]

but I understand that source confidentiality is useful so if WSJ trusts that, perhaps so should I. Not sure I'd then go so far as to independently say it has been "proven" when all that I truly know is that someone else believes someone else who has a commercial interest in saying this. It's probably true but that's not the same thing
Unfortunately you're buying into a lot of propaganda that persists to this day.

Straight sex workers exist. Given straight people outnumber gay people by (let's say) 10:1, there is almost certainly a higher absolute number of straight promiscuous potential superspreaders than there are gay ones.

Even in the middle of the bell curve, nearly 50% of American babies are born to unmarried parents, so it's not like strict monogamy is the norm among straight people [0]

The reason that HIV transmitted so well in gay male populations is because receptive anal sex has a 20x higher likelihood of transmission than receptive vaginal sex and a 40x higher likelihood of transmission vs. insertive sex.[1]

Within the gay community, you have plenty of men who engage in that relatively high risk act of receptive anal sex, who then go on to be the insertive party in another interaction.

Within straight populations, the potential spreaders are just much less likely to contract HIV in the first place.

Sorry to be so specific about something sexual, but I have always found it odd that this very practical information has not been put into the mainstream. I guess it's the imperfect middleground - people who want to shame gay men don't care about the data and people who support gay men don't want to stigmatize receptive anal sex. But unfortunately, I bet it's led to a lot of needlessly risky behaviors.

I remember the report that when Microsoft initially planned to enter the console space they wanted to recruit Miyamoto with 10x salary. The proposal was outright rejected because he cannot do anything meaningful without the team and culture he had been building over decades. In the creative industry, teams and cultures are (almost) everything.

Nintendo will unlikely keep its team and culture when it's acquired by some random US big techs. Japan and US just have so different corporate cultures at their fundamental level. Think about a hypothetical scenario; another big economical crisis is looming and Satya mandated Nintendo to cut 5~10% of its HQ employees. Would Nintendo keep its unique culture after its first ever lay-off? I don't think so.
> blatant disregard of traffic laws by the many cyclists

Enforcement of traffic law for cyclists would be good, but blatant disregard of traffic laws (e.g. running yellow/red lights, not yielding at crossings, stopping on bike paths before roundabouts etc.) by many motorists also exists, and typically is much more dangerous for others than the actions of cyclists (who typically only endanger themselves)

> Helmets on the road should also be required just as it is for bikers

Why? Cyclists don't usually fall off or hit their heads. The costs of mandatory helmets outweigh the benefits.
They are totally different axis.

WP is mostly small business workhorse, nearly all included in package (admin, editor, lot of third party addons), which is good enough for small scale, cheap and simple (most things could be done without developers), but not scales well.

So if business grow, at some moment it will be very hard to use WP, and/or business will be slow down if continue use WP.

Django is better when have developers team, it is full featured framework, have many things included into one officially supported package (but not as complete as WP), optimal for medium business, and with good developer/ops, could serve any scale, but it have too steep learning curve for start small.

Flask, could be considered as simplified Django, also good, but to make same things as Django, you need to create modular design from many separate packages, which are not orchestrated/supported by one official source.

So with Flask you probably will start faster than with Django, (I myself spent ~half of year to learn Django, with Flask I started in weekend), but you may encounter problems, when some dependency will be changed too much, so you will need to recreate interface for it.

Unfortunately, Django does not offer standard way to transit between major releases, but within one major release you could expect minimal efforts to transit, if use standard components.
Many things, possible to recreate on other version, just by change config and/or database scheme, so many works could be done by ops (Admin/Database administrator).

WP also does not offer standard transition way, but in many cases it is just very simple to recreate all from scratch, many works could be done by just user and some things need ops.

With Flask, when you need to transit to other version, you probably, will recreate all interfaces between components, need programmer to do this, also ops.

if being off by 3 units on a 10,000 unit circle actually matters, you have stricter requirements than most industry bodies. If you're fabricating parts that have tolerances measured in 1/10th of a thou, the machines you use absolutely don't ask for PDF, they ingest proper control code.
Would love for this to happen. Might even get a 3rd Banjo-Kazooie game out of it, too...I could dream but another Conker's BFD, Killer Instinct, or even Perfect Dark would be fun too.

Rare had some absolutely excellent games on Nintendo consoles. Noticeably, they went to shit when MSFT got them.
If your have a clean event-driven architecture, ie messages are completely agnostic and decoupled from one-another you don't need Kafka.
that's a terrible alternative, the helmet has enough horsepower to run anything a Mac can run

>Gay people do not have more sex partners than straight people.

On average, gay men will have more sexual partners than straight men. There's no reason to deny this.

The vast majority of new infections are through gay men having sex. IV drug use only accounts for 7% of new infections

>but it exposes the flaw in this notion that gay people are sluts and sluts get STDs.

Your insecurities don't change the facts. Gay men have more sex and more sex leads to more STDs.
I can answer number 1:

updates and deletes are available, as well as the ability to compact the table.
Keep in mind that if you kill social security and medicare (I know you'd LOVE to) then you don't get that money coming in anymore, either. How do you propose we keep taking the money out of people's paychecks while not giving them anything back in return? Call it the Republican Fuck You Tax?
You can try to use Graal as a JIT compiler as well, in case of Scala for example that has a bit more indirection on average it can cause some speedups.

Otherwise, it trades blows with hotspot.
There is a recurring joke about Go's language design ignoring many bits of the general language design knowledge collectively acquired through decades of writing new languages. This change is an example of why this joke exists.

Thanks dang. I've always been pretty suspicious of the attribution to Twain. Nice to know where it actually came from.
If I put on my evil genius super villain hat, I think it can be done in a realistic and mundane way, though. It just takes money, and some skill at deception. Rather than military weapons or viruses, the simplest method of ensuring no survivors would be figuring out how to adjust the biosphere to be unsuitable for human life, especially agricultural civilization. Turns out it's easier to do than we thought, and we're not trying to do it. The ozone layer would be the easiest first target.

It has nearly the same interface design as cuFFT, admittedly with less documentation. I’m not sure I understand this complaint versus the competition. https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/hipFFT/en/latest/api.html

If you’re complaining about cuFFTs design, how BLAS like interfaces are outdated, and a lack of a proper hypothetical heterogenous array programming language?, sure. But it’s not much better in Nvidia land.

"The algorithm" and/or the people behind it noticed that if User1 watches VideoA and then we show him B-C-D, he stays on the platform for 10 minutes.

BUT when we showed a User2 the videos X-Y-Z (after videoA), then User2 stayed "engaged" for 3 hours. And the new sequence was just established.

The 'machine' is constantly doing A/B and other tests, and it learns, adapts, and continues. The machine just learns what people like and feeds it to them. We can't blame the machine for giving the users what they want.. can we? :)

All governmental prosecution should be before a court with the protection of rights. Even in your contrived example, the defendant has the right to face his accuser, cross-examine, attorneys, judges, juries, and the many things we throw in the government's way of harming people, justified or not.

When the USG tells anyone to do something, chances are they will comply, legal or not, just because it isn't worth the pain and suffering of fighting, especially for someone you don't even know. We have relearning what it is like to have your personal life ruled by people you have never met in places you have never been. The USG has stepped too far and the overreaction to public/private partnerships is coming.
It's really amazing how much that attitude has changed in a decade or so. I asked my PCP at the time (and this was the last time I saw this doctor, FWIW) about PrEP when it was relatively new, and basically got a "I don't want to encourage dangerous behavior" lecture.

Ehhh, I see absolutely no evidence that the Go developers were particularly aware of theory. It really feels more like they just were used to thinking in terms of C, and built a language which is kind of like C.

Go also has some really weird stuff in it, such as named return values.

Frankly, the lack of sum types hurts the most. The language would just be a lot better with a unifying Result type in the library. And don't give me any of that "oh, they tried to keep the language simple!" stuff.

Intuitively, sum types are laughably simple. Everyone understands "It's one of these possible values, so you need to check which one it is and then handle that situation." They are more simple than enums on a conceptual level! Sum types are just not how C-programmers think about the world.
Even if I still played video games, I wouldn't care what happens to Valve. They were the reason some games forced you to install this Steam nonsense and launch it every time to run em, which seemed to just be for DRM purposes. MS would probably do something just as annoying, though.
