> What restrictive and how?

The language is restrictive, in that you can't "play" with the language, it has a very fixed syntax / structure and no real way to make your own, much like Java or C#: no macros, limited runtime reflection (to say nothing of wholesale manipulation), control structures are heavily syntactic, etc...

Hell, the designers built in a bunch of collections and behaviour (and special syntax) around those collections because they either did not want to or could not be arsed to make the language able to express them.

> Whole cluster orchestrators have been built with go (k8s, nomad), whole databases have been built with go (cockroachhDB), whole authentication systems have been built with go (zitadel, authelia), whole web servers have been built with go (Caddy, Traefik), whole DNS servers have been built with go (CoreDNS), whole key value stores have been built with go (etcd), some encryption has been built with go (age) so how it is restrictive and why didn't it restrict all those use cases?

That has nothing to do with anything? Literally all you're stating is "the language is turing complete therefore it can't be restrictive".

> Minimalist isn't restrictive.

No, it's not. And neither is the reverse.

And go is restrictive, not minimalist.

100% agree, except the impersonated person is impacted when their credit score eventually gets screwed and they can no longer get loans themselves. So, in that regard, they are also a victim.
It’s identity fraud frankly. Hold consumers harmless and put the burden on the industry (if you did not have an high identity assurance you’re on the hook for costs and losses) and this problem evaporates. Also outlaw credit monitoring and identity theft insurance.
The fundamental issue here is that maintaining security is expensive, and it is cheaper to just deal with occasional hacks. The only solution is to make hacks extremely expensive to the companies that get hacked — through fines as well as lawsuits by victims of identity theft.
You might be overlooking a chemical conditioning element. A smoker gets a dopamine hit every time they take a pull from their cigarette. The smell, the sizzle, and the routine - all become associated with a reward pathway.

Nicotine is the chemical that causes this, but the addiction is far more than just nicotine alone.

Owning a vacation property, much less a timeshare, just never really appealed to me. I barely keep up with my own house much less another property. And, if I went the condo route, I'm never going to drive up to the mountains every other weekend and if I'm not going to use a property on a regular basis, I'm fine with just getting a hotel. I can see there might be a difference with family and kids but I don't see the appeal personally.
A completely opposite experience. Been using it for years, and (when it doesn't lag) it gets the right match almost every time.
I solved this by making my own "To watch..." playlist which was available to anyone who had the link.

In Firefox settings, look for 'DNS'. For the "DNS over HTTPS" section, click the "Manage Exceptions" button, and manually add "archive.is", "archive.ph", "archive.today". Then restart the browser, and it might work.

You're not making any sense, and you're not providing any sort of argument either.
Probably font book decides it's monospaced when verifying the font. I doubt FreeType would consider it mono (that's what matters for GTK2). What's fc-list -v show on your machine under fixed?
If there is no reason for it, then that is a reason against it. Regular people probably don't use Tor.
This remarkably well describes my experiences with mushrooms. I recall all of it, its not some brain fog like from alcohol or weed, but those experiences perceived by massively 'expanded' brain simply are not the same as when remembering it sober, its like seeing a tiny crop of an original picture, it may still make some sense but you are probably missing most of what actually happened.

But let me tell you, once I got into another trip, those memories from previous trip again made complete sense and they were very detailed, if only for that brief amount of time.

Anyway back to the topic, when tripping (alone, laying in bed with eyes closed, shamanic music in background, late evening), I felt I gradually lost all my senses (ie weird to keep 'seeing' as experiencing what was happening, yet organ of the eyeball was unreachable at that moment to my brain, and so were the others), all connection to my body. Heart rate went to very low mode (I held breath for what I referenced as few mins just to try this new situation, not more than 3, and I could 100% control all feedback from desperate body spasming for any air while I was casually observing it, not a worry in the world for that experiment - just to clarify I don't do any freediving or similar activity where you train to hold your breath). At the height I was a mist of atoms, dancing or more like swirling in the air in the music, nothing in nothingness. Those atoms were tiny parts of me, alone useless and incoherent, meaningless.

And once trip was ending, very very gradually (I'd say it alone took 90 min easily), coming down from that peak one step at a time, re-discovering senses and body. All those atoms joining one by one. I felt very strongly that if I had any major character flaw or unresolved issues, this would be the moment where putting back those atoms wouldn't work very well.

I had this without getting any info from more experienced users or research (those mushrooms I grew myself from growkit from Amsterdam, we talk about cca 2007), and the part about splitting into atoms and then combining them back together sounds similar to neuroplasticity you describe.

Just for the love of god don't do such strong stuff if you have some unresolved inner issues. There is a chance you can solve it for good via this, but the risk of something going wrong and ending up in catatonic nightmare, or even some (additional) permanent damage ain't worth it. If it would be long term legal and accepted and you would be able to have professional managing the set then this part should be without major worries.
It's too late for your monopoly games, but for anyone looking to get rid of something it doesn't take much effort to search "donate X" and find a bunch of possible options other than the dump.
Panics are definitely one of the bigger design mistake of go. They should have either removed panics entirely and made error as return values the only way to do signal errors or they should have made defer+recover more mainstream like exceptions.

Current state of affairs is that third party libraries panic where they shouldn’t, programs don’t defer where they should, recovers cause deadlock due to non deferred mutex releases, that assumed panics are panics and not exceptions. On top of that we have to live with the verbose error handling that still isn’t water tight.
Research anecdote here. I’m a psychologist in a different area and a friend who did his PhD in cocaine research with rats told me this.

Addiction is highly dependent on the immediacy of the drug’s effect on the brain. For this reason, people who smoke cocaine (directly or as crack) are highly likely to get addicted. It may be the majority. People who snort it are less likely to get addicted. And there are a lot of casual cocaine users (snorting) who do not develop a long term life altering addiction. I believe he (researcher friend) said it was 10-15% who go on to become addicted. Still substantial and dangerous but much less than smoking.

His research was looking at delayed onset of cocaine in rats after they pushed their cocaine lever. At longer delays more and more rats showed little interest.

This is part of the overall addiction picture. Decoupling drug use behaviors (smoking, snorting, and lever pressing) from noticeable drug onset prevents reinforcement of the behavior and makes addiction less likely, often much less.

This would explain why nicotine patches and gum would potentially be much less addictive than cigarettes.
Have you considered Playwright? It offers very straightforward APIs to do exactly this.
You are right, but as you can see at page 11 (Figure 4 rightmost AST) of The Oberon System Family paper [0], Wirth's approach was extended to "hint" destinations as well.

I'm not convinced. The UI in early Blender was as arcane as any I have ever seen, worse than GIMP's by a mile. Contemporary commercial 3D software did not have the same quantity or quality of weirdness. (Remember SoftImage?) The commercial version of Blender failed in the marketplace, and after it was open sourced, it was not taken seriously again for quite a few years.

Blender's dogfooding efforts were a powerful force in both proving that the software was good enough (to make movies) and demonstrating how it could be better (for the animators who made the movies). I'm not aware of any such efforts for GIMP. What I have seen is roadmaps of what improvements they know they need, and timelines of years to improve core infrastructure to the point that their actual goals are within reach. Meanwhile, other software projects (both FLOSS and commercial) race past them and move on to more exotic and exciting features.
What do you use for moderation? OpenAI API?

This seems like a decent candidate for local inference on iPhones. You could make the app almost server free, theoretically, and still have each client moderate themselves, and I would say Mistral 7B is now "smart enough" for moderation, or maybe some smaller safety filter.
you forgot the most interesting! same spelling and pronounciation, different gender!

There's probably more supply than demand. The price will go down to the point of their warehouse costs and opportunity cost of running the business. It's a passion business, so low.
Article mixes a lot of unrelated food safety issues. Which mostly serves to confuse readers, or cause them to mix up unrelated issues.

As for the arsenic in rice: rice tends to be a (natural) accumulator for arsenic. Which occurs in soils in varying amounts - some natural, sometimes increased by pollution.

Lead in turmeric otoh, is from a lead-based colorant intentionally added to make the (prized) yellowish color more intense.

Very different problems, with very different causes & solutions.

(but on a side note: personally I would not mind if people found to have adulterated food with lead compounds, were hung on the nearest tree. Lack of knowledge be damned. A few example culprits hanged, and everyone in the trade would educate themselves quickly).

If the business can't make the math work, then it should shut down.

Otherwise raise the prices and find a point at which it can run.

The customer is paying the same regardless so why not just build it into the pricing?
There is no way to opt out of credit reporting. Lenders report the information to the credit bureaus, typically all three of the big ones, so if you want no information reported, simply close all your credit cards and loans, etc. and place credit freezes on your credit reports.

I don't think that "increased competition" will work here. We are not customers of the credit bureaus. We are the product. The customers are lenders and other people who need your information. From the lenders' perspective, this is all working out fine, largely because the onus for "identity theft" is placed on members of the public as individuals rather than on lenders to accurately verify applicants' identities before extending credit. As many people have pointed out before, "identity theft" is a misnomer designed to pass the buck onto individuals. Ideally, it should be the lenders' responsibility to prevent criminals from misusing your information and to make things right whenever a criminal tries to use your information fraudulently, but right now the onus is placed on individuals.

A better solution would be to have higher standards for identity verification by lenders. That would shift the burden onto lenders to actually verify people's identity before extending credit. Some lenders actually do a pretty good job of verifying people's identities before extending credit in my experience, while others just seem to accept the information given uncritically (as far as I can tell!). High industry-wide standards should help solve this (either voluntarily or mandated by law).

Not especially interesting, but probably an indication that some of the non-core stuff is getting overlooked.
The banks aren't the only victims. The person has had their credit rating damaged, and may even be on the hook for fraudulent charges made in their name.
If you view your playlist on a desktop browser you can make it show you the unavailable videos in the list. Then you can grab those IDs and try to find them via the Wayback Machine, etc. Hope this helps.

Yep which is why it's the smart play to make the spelling in the target language just whatever will make a speaker of said target language say it right.

The 'when' can be important too, because the sensitivity and value of data generally goes down over time.

The problem is that we are not the consumers. They receive our data from all the companies we do business with. You would have to figure out on a case by case basis all ties relating to the credit bureau. Probably if you never got a credit card and never took out a loan, you would be somewhat protected from their "research."
It is not that expensive. It is a couple pennies per pull (of a credit report/file) for somebody seeking identity proofing to use knowledge based authentication (the usual “where did you live, are these trade lines you?”). It is $1.50-$2.00 per proofing attempt with the government credential using ID.me or stripe identity. The problem is that no one is incentivized to slightly increases costs to reduce fraud because the burden falls on consumers instead, and credit reporting agencies don’t want to see their moat and revenue stream cannabalized. Bit of a public good Innovator’s Dilemma.

TLDR A better national digital identity story makes this problem go away.

It is interesting to think that your definition of a "a dormitory for scientists with free room and board, as long as they do scientific research." is kinda-sorta what I think of when I consider the Institute for Advanced Study. If you squint hard enough, it is kinda-sorta what tenure in universities aims to provide.

Technical Diagramming Needs
What does everyone use for their technical drawing needs nowadays? At this point, I've tried a lot of the OSS solutions but nothing seems to stick as a go-to tool for me. I was happiest back in the day when I used Visio, before Microsoft scooped them up. I'd just like to hear from others which applications they find most satisfying.
It will take ten years to standardize and find adoption, then still fail to cover some common use cases.

The Fasti of Ovid and the Augustan Propaganda (1922) [pdf]
As a former software engineer for over a decade and current corrections officer in a max level state facility, this is a very interesting topic. My facility has a large college presence within it. While there are problems with it, I think overall it is probably a net positive for the staff and inmates. At the same time, I don't believe that we have more than maybe a small handful of nonviolent/drug offenders; anybody on the outside advocating for murderers, rapists, and those in for armed robbery to have access to more of the normal comforts of the outside world is going to have a hard time and not much support. Even the medium level prisons have those types of people in them. So what facilities would wider access to remote learning and work become available? There would need to be honor facilities inmates must work towards proving they're responsible enough to be transferred to. Right now budgets are being slashed, we're at 60% staffing as it is, and the whole state is in the shit. And this is a "progressive liberal" state. It would probably take the federal government to start throwing money around for pilot programs, no state is going to increase their prison budget to accommodate this.
Although I think it is more accurate to call them a victim of something like slander by the credit agency, in that case. I mean, I’m not sure exactly what the laws are around slander, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some cutout for cases in which the person actually believed the lies they were repeating, but if an organization represents itself as an expert in people’s trustworthiness it obviously has a heightened responsibility to verify what it is repeating.

Great article putting all the relevant content in one place. Does anyone know of any de-anonymization services? The startup I am working at is privacy focused and we are looking for a way to demonstrate why you need an additional layer to protect and compartmentalize.

Short of us buying up data in bulk and then doing the de-anonymization in-house I am not seeing an easy way to do this. Or even an advertised partner, seems like all the articles are really careful to not do free marketing for companies in this space.
You phrased this poorly, but it's a worthwhile discussion to have.

People recall Trump as having said something about "forest management" as contributing to the California wildfires. That part is strictly true! The actual wording of his claims though, weren't for prescribed burns but rather [1]:

> "I said, you gotta clean your floors, you gotta clean your forests — there are many, many years of leaves and broken trees and they’re like, like, so flammable, you touch them and it goes up."

That quote could be read in good faith to include prescribed burns, because it's not explicitly saying how to "clean" the forests. The article goes on though:

> Trump’s suggestions have prompted head-scratching from experts who say his prescriptions — more raking, less water released into the ocean for environmental purposes — suggest he does not understand the science of wildfires. Critics also point out that most of California’s wildlands are federally managed.

And re: the Paradise fires:

> Back then, he pointed to Finland, claiming its leader said the European “forest nation” had “spent a lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things. And they don’t have any problem.”.

> Finnish President Sauli Niinistö later said he told Trump that Finland takes care of its forests but did not say anything about raking.

So he wasn't wrong that forest management matters. But he wasn't supporting controlled burns either. The combination of his control over federal forest land and this quote:

> “Maybe we’re just going to have to make them pay for it because they don’t listen to us,” he added.

is what rankled people.

Finally, while forest management contributed to the California wildfires of the last 5 years, PG&E's mismanagement of power lines and power line maintenance played a large role as well. Either way, having people rake the leaves wouldn't have done much :).

I regularly program in both Scala/Java and F#/C#. Interoperability in both is excellent. But I would not call it “trivial” in the Scala/Java case. Calling Scala code from Java is occasionally a pain (the converse is easy); however I don’t think I’ve ever had an issue calling F# code from C#. I think most of the friction wrt Scala lies in the fact that Scala reinvented the wheel in several places (eg collections; “operator overloading”) which are not obvious to use in Java.
The problems with Gimp have nothing to do with not having a sufficient UI paradigm to contain Gimp's oh-so-precious functionality; it's that the project leadership refuses to consider that tue esoteric universally-loathed UI paradigms they came up with might be worse than the prevailing conventions.
