I feel like many of these solutions are fueled first by ideology, and only then by the evidence.

On the right, people criticize and blame the users, rant about personal responsibility, and try to lock drug users and the mentally ill up and throw away the keys. This is failed policy.

On the left, people invest in legalization and treatment as a personal ideology and don’t seem to be willing to admit when their policies fail. It almost seems like a failed policy conflates to some kind of personal failure that cannot be examined or criticized. And instead of policy failure, it’s always a funding issue, no matter how many times consistent results emerge. This is looking more and more like failed policy too.

I’ve seen it in Van, Portland, Sacramento, Seattle, San Francisco and LA, and it’s pretty consistently not only not getting better but getting much worse.

Ultimately, neither approach seems to be working very well. And in the meantime people are living lives of hopelessness and despair in tremendously awful conditions.

Are there no other options available than these two counter positions? I think we should be having more of an open dialogue about how to solve the problem and be more ready to examine the evidence, even when it doesn’t support our positions, for the greater good of those suffering, and I often see conversations on the topic break down into the tit for tat I’m seeing here. These kinds of conversations are the default, and solve nothing.
But neither Android nor ChromeOS are self hosting, in the sense that you can't use Android to build Android nor ChromeOS to build ChromeOS (well for the later maybe you could with a Debian container...)

So I think traditional Linux distributions will remain, at least as development tools.

Of course it is true that many end users these days get by with just a phone or a tablet but this is a general thing and also results in less Windows users too.

The Unfolding of Language
I'm saying that Target closes stores with high shrink and thus total shrink hasn't changed, because when shrink increases companies take action and close the stores with high shrink. I'm suggesting that a store with above average shrink in a portfolio of many stores will not meaningfully move the overall average in a statistic of all the stores in the entire country or target's entire portfolio.

But I'm not trying to write a defense of Target. You may be correct. You may be incorrect. There simply isn't enough data to accurately draw a conclusion and I'm just offended that journalists inflate stories that give extreme results but very weak foundations instead of you know... doing journalism correctly based on actual real data not suppositions based on a bunch of national averages as though they are accurately depicting actual shrink in a specific store in a specific market.
You can do that with homebrew too. But in the case of Terraform, where you can have developers on Windows and macOS and CI/CD pipeines based on Debian/Ubuntu/CentOS/Alpine/etc, it's handy having everyone use the same tool for managing Terraform versions.

It's just like how you wouldn't have different people manage the same Python codebase with different package managers. You agree on the standard for that business or project and have every instantiation of that project follow that same standard.
Devils advocate: by subsidizing the “consumption class” you enable more consumption. I get that’s how our current economy works but there are probably a lot of negative externalities associated with increasing consumption.

>Not only there is sequential array in both the language, it is very often used

In Java only primitive arrays are memory-efficient for iteration; ArrayLists are not because every element is boxed, so even when iterating sequentially a lookup of some random memory address is needed for every element.
The flipside of that is that Patreon handles the ugly details of making sure the right amount of VAT / sales tax is paid on transactions - and from a creator's point of view this is a big part of their value proposition.

If creators had to administer that stuff on an individual basis they'd have no time left for creating.
Ugh, I hate this way of thinking. Perhaps we've all been brainwashed to believe this by capitalism?

I'm perfectly happy pursuing my own interests, at my own pace, without having some overlord making sure I'm maximizing value for some corporation. Sure, I don't want to just sit around doing nothing, but there's a wide gulf of possibilities between that and full-time employment.
> Therefore, Objective-J is the language that passed the test for him.

Did he say that? Did he say he applied this test when he was creating Objective J 15 years ago? Did he say that Objective J passed this test?

Could it be that he applied his own experience, and experience of other languages and came up with the list as the result?

> Where do you find relevance in this logical error?

I find relevance in your weird obsession with the fact the author created Objective J 15 years ago and this somehow invalidates the points he's making.

I mean, you've now spent several comments and the last comment exclusively talking about Objective J. This is bordering on mania.

It concludes:

We can’t tell you how New York can build for the costs of Nuremberg or Turkey, both around $100 million per km, but $200 million per km, slightly higher than Italy and slightly lower than Sweden, is achievable.

I respectfully disagree.

The portion regarding the norms in EA communities argumentation habits is the most weighty part of the analysis. The EMH example is a supporting detail.

The thesis is this: EA communities are prone to insularity, hubris, and fabulism covered with a paper thin veneer of logic. The insularity generally means their arguments have not been subjected to even trivial scrutiny from non-EA communities. As a result, their arguments should as a first approximation be given no more weight than the average Reddit thread.

To be logically complete it would need to collect a variety of examples of hubris, fabulism, and insularity from EA arguments, which is left as an exercise to the reader.

Rhetorical fallacies are important to understand if you’re going to call them out. “Ad hominem” means attacking the argument by attacking the person.

Here I am attacking the general credibility of a community of people based on the example of one of their members’ arguments.

This is common in communities that are devoted to radical honesty and radical transparency, particularly those that actually have to hold these norms in high stakes market scenarios. It is called “believability weighting.”

For example, if the Norway Government Pension Fund historically provides poor logical arguments in their analysis of EU recessions, their arguments about EU recessions should be given less weight in the future.

Believability weighting is not the same as ad hominem.
The problem seems to be with the fundamental structure of how the political/administrative system works, not with a particular party or politician.

Oh man I didn't realize that when I last ran into this project.

I wonder how hard it would be to run your own streamer pipeline or whatnot on these things? How far a starting place do we get when we install our own Linux; do peripherals (camera networking) work or is there a bunch of special sauce in userland running half the hardware?
I never implied it was hidden. I’m not sure why you’re arguing with me.
Every time I'm in Barcelona or Frankfurt airport, they tell me to take off shoes. So I'm pretty sure this also applies to Europe, albeit not at every airport, and not even every time at BCN airport I've had to do so. Maybe depends on the people working the shift?
I'll definitely keep an eye on this project. And likewise, if you feel you reach a new stable milestone that addresses my concerns, do feel free to raise an issue on my projects Github page for me to switch away from cgo :)

How so? I just read the release notes on the helm chart and underlying process and bob's your uncle. I file issues when I find them and wait for them to be fixed before upgrading the main cluster (most recent one was an issue with ingress-nginx, but I've also found issues in Cilium, git, Linux networking stack, etc.)

Things break, you diagnose the issue and roll back. There's nothing special about it, and it is likely the exact same thing you do when releasing any of your own software -- so there's nothing new here, at all.

What magical options do you have with a managed solution that I don't have?
I'm a bit skeptical about that, because at some point, the older you get the poorer your health become even if it used to be stellar.

I'm lucky enough to come from a family with very good health expectancy (all 4 great grandmother lived past 90, and all my 4 grandparents are on track to be there as well), but beyond a certain age in their 80 they all started to take meds even though they were still in very good shape.
> The people who will suffer the most are people who drive in for work and suburban families that drive in for weekend day trips. The latter can afford to pay for the privilege. The former tends to be people under-served by transit

It's even less of a problem than you think.

The people who drive in for work are rich executives and lawyers etc. who can afford to park in Manhattan. Not maids or baristas.

They're not under-served by transit at all. If they wanted, they could commute like most people by driving to the nearest train station and taking the train into the city.
Urban density has increased greatly in select areas but building laws are such that building new housing is both difficult and expensive. Seems unlikely to change in western countries

Well, customers need support. Having a lot of small customers is harder and more expensive than having 1 big customer. They should sell to e.g. a large automotive or industrial automation company, and then not worry about the small customers till later.
We would have been forced to bite the bullet and implement a packaging extension that allowed debs to describe what to start at boot time, when, and how. The compatability layer would have allowed any init system to be used.

Instead we welded the systemd engine into the chassis and pray that when it comes to replacing it we aren’t the ones on the hook.
Do you have a good sense of what boards are worth looking at for media center use cases? In the last few years it's become the norm to need to be able to drive a 4k display with HDR metadata, and decode 4k HEVC with HDR in hardware (and ideally pass through Dolby Vision as well). The dream is to be able to do that with a relatively inexpensive board with just the mainline kernel.

I've had bad luck with the Pi 4 with respect to video decoding. 4k HEVC decoding is an advertised feature of the Pi 4, but it chokes on anything with moderate bitrates in my experience. I'd like my next board to support HDR and HEVC so reliably that I never have to think about it, and I'm not sure if that's going to be the Pi 5 or not.
Just handing out housing doesn't solve the problems that lead to homelessness except in a very small minority of cases, which are also the cases most likely to resolve with less drastic interventions by giving hand ups.

> how would it be an argument for legalizing more potentially highly addictive and harmful substances even if we can’t manage the issues related to the ones which are currently legal?

Because making the substances illegal only makes the problem worse. Addicts go to the black market where they get the substances in unknown concentrations, leading to a higher propensity for overdose and addiction.

There are drugs (like amphetamine) that are highly addictive at high doses but at low doses have been show to actually reduce the propensity of the user to become addicted to other substances. Which makes it critical to ensure that the dose of the drug is known to the user.

> Nicotine. Which is not particularly harmful on its own and can be consumed in various different ways.

Tobacco. There is some evidence that nicotine in combination with other substances in tobacco products is more addictive than nicotine on its own.

> Which might work out fine if a significant proportion of the population were not incapable of behaving rationally and could fully control their actions. Unfortunately that’s not the case.

This is not a justification for making a problem worse instead of better.
With games, you don't have startup time issues. Not so for something as ubiquitous as a terminal emulator.

Password length best practices
--What is the standard for maximum password length?

Your passwords have to get quite long before you run into any limitations in the Windows world: the maximum length of a password supported by Active Directory is 256 characters. The maximum length of a password that a human user could actually type to log into Windows in 127 characters (the limitation is in the Windows GUI).

127 is probably quite impractical for a user to type, but might be good for admin accounts where passwords are checked out and copied and pasted from a password vault. Service account passwords that are almost never typed and possibly rarely changed (if ever) could stand to be longer still.

> That's the fate of all large cities: infrastructure gets more and more complicated, and bureaucracy always keeps growing.

This is simply not backed up by reality; the article cites examples of European major cities without this problem. And do you really think Tokyo, Seoul or Shanghai have trouble building the transit they need?

The issue is that American institutions specifically are not fit for purpose, not an issue with large cities in general.
If you need certification, then this is what you need and hopefully you were already aware of Ferrous Systems before. If you don't need certification (which will be most people) then this doesn't really do anything except reassure you that the software feels like it could be safety qualified because essentially identical software is safety qualified.

I actually hope there's inspiration for the other side of the fence. ISO 26262 ASIL D ought to be a higher bar than it is, it's not at all clear to me that "Oh yeah, off the shelf general purpose languages can do ASIL D" is the right setting of expectations, but that's where we are today. I'd be more comfortable if for these roles (this is software which if it malfunctions might literally just kill a whole bunch of people) we were demanding a bit more, maybe a lot more, than is currently in that ISO document.
What historical reasons would justify invading and killing people who don't want to be part of russia?

As for buffer states, by attacking Ukraine they pushed Finland into NATO which the führer does not seem to mind. So we can easily call bullshit on this trope.

As for access to Black Sea, just look at the map. russia has plenty of access to it.

Her choice of career is a nontrivial factor in her continuing to lag behind financially. It basically accounts for most of the problem, really.

Maybe, but even assuming that's so, there are career paths where, in the end, that doesn't matter because one makes enough money to overcome that in the long run.

edit: also, her family mocking her just means her family is shit lol; unlike the economic issues raised by her story, it's not a societal problem that merits consideration.
OpenIPC is one of those projects where the core team is Russian, and their communication is Russian, and they use Telegram (or a bridge) for everything. As a non-Russian speaker you're pretty lost trying to contribute, and as a result they attract hardly anyone outside the russosphere. I've tried telling them they're artifically limiting their project, but was predictably ignored. This project has so much potential, but it will never be achieved.

I've seen this before; projects like that tend to stagnate and die. Openinkpot comes to mind.

BTW not a rant against Russians; open source projects do best when they have a lot of contributors from across the world, and that means English.
> the high interest rates are here to stay, and it will be years before investing in startups becomes profitable again and startups will have money to spare

I admit that I don’t want this to be true. I want my own startup. But…how can you possibly know this? Nobody knows how long the interest rates will stay high and nobody knows what new companies will emerge in the future and how profitable their economic model will be. For all we know, investing in startups will be even more profitable than it was in the past. The article was light on details…

I know it's naive of me to hope, but I hope that if a large part of the "western" world is affected by the gulf stream weakening then more definitive action will be taken against climate change.

Something related in the novel Project Hail Mary affected me greatly: "I've run the best models I have. Crops are going to fail. The global staple crops are wheat, barley, millet, potatoes, soy, and most important of all, rice. All of them are pretty sensitive about temperature ranges. If your rice paddy freezes over, the rice dies. If your potato farm floods, the potatoes die. And if your wheat farm experiences ten times normal humidity, it gets fungal parasites and dies."

Sure, we may not be looking at freezing rice paddies, but flooding is absolutely affecting people all over the world due to the warmer air holding more moisture.

Not at all a happy thought, I'm sorry.
