There was also heavy support for them from the local population and workers.

And of course the right wingers not only had "heavy foreign influence and support" on their side too (the whole country was established under heavy western influence and at its "benevolence"), but they also crushed them, undemocratically with the help of that foreign influence and support.

I'd rather say there is a definite cult over lisp. But it's very different from the other languages which I'd qualify as rather hardcore. Lisp's cult is a magical cult. No other language as such amazing stories as the space probe remotely debugged from earth with a repl, the extreme hot reload and mystical intertwining of assembly on PS2 of Jak & Daxter's GOAL, the MIT course with a Fantasia level of teaching, The symbolic machines, etc.

The only other language like that I can think of is smalltalk.

His comment on LLM being used to detect bugs is interesting. My experience with traditional linting tools is that they can easily waste your time with false positives. Thankfully those tools are deterministic and you can shut them up with hints.
> "Private Mode" automatically flips their internet traffic through some kind of reputable and open VPN

I figured out how to do this a couple years ago:

https://github.com/pmarks-net/incognito-proxy

If you have a VPN service that provides a SOCKS proxy server, the chrome.proxy API can tell Incognito tabs to use the VPN, while leaving normal tabs unaffected.
What is the attack vector this protects against though?

If the authentication flow is doing anything other than salting/hashing the password and then throwing away the original plaintext password, the entire system really shouldn't be used at all.

Well... if you think cooking recipes, clothing, architectural styles or business practices, yes.

But if you think Beethoven symphonies, "Citizen Kane" or James Watt's steam engine then no.

My point is that big, rare, difficult, hard, risky or expensive innovations need a different incentive than the simple and mundane ones.

I'll agree that the system is largely abused by rent-seekers but most of modern technology and culture was fostered by intellectual propriety.
I have my own injection molding machine in my garage, DIY all the way. Everything about molding is precise, and it has to be, it’s not nearly as forgiving as FDM printing in terms of failure modes. To achieve what you are describing I have two molds that I rotate in and out of a toaster oven, not kidding. Every thermoplastic pellet has a detailed data sheet on expected temps and the like and mold temp is simply one of those.
There's probably a better way to explain this, but I think it's just an emotional hook. A lot of things seem crazy when you don't get to experience the emotional aspect of the experience. You can sort of test this out by describing things which are commonly enjoyed, but in cold, cynical terms.

For instance, why do people like going to concerts? It's $100 or more to be surrounded by a hostile crowd, probably catch COVID, certainly induce some hearing damage, have zero peace and quiet for hours, etc. None of these "costs" really stack of up course if you find going to concerts rewarding in an emotional sense. If the concert itself never moved you emotionally, it'd be very difficult to see why people would put up with all the additional externalities of the whole event.

This isn't a perfect comparison, but I hope you can see what I'm getting at.

I don't know if wrapping rules are defined by the standard or implementation defined. But the easiest thing for a compiler to implement is simple truncation. A space is 0x20 (32 decimal) in most C compilers, so multiplying it by 13 is 416. Truncating that to 8 bits, the size of char on most compilers, is 160 (0xa0). If char is signed, the upper bit being set will cause it to be a negative number -96. Promotion of the char to int won't change its value.

There are a huge number of assumptions in that simple chain of events, and if any of them are wrong you get a different answer.

> It was always clear that websites could track you in incognito mode.

Why call it incognito mode, if not to imply you couldn't be tracked? It's absolutely not unreasonable for the average Chrome user to draw this conclusion.
It’s been indistinguishable from chrome for me for at least 4 years. Ymmv
Incognito was never about [avoiding] tracking. Its goal was to have an ephemeral session which is discarded at the end, no local history saved. Trackers work the same as usual.

What happened was that people mistook it for being a “private” form of browsing with no tracking and Google never corrected them.
There is a change, similar to how streaming has changed pop music. Current tv/film is much less suspenseful, much more boring and less funny, due to a perception that audiances are fickle, that they are not comitted and will too easily switch to another stream. And producers are working too hard not to offend paticularly sensitive audiences, those ready to start twitter wars over the slightest issue. It all adds up to dull entertainment.
When/where has it been marketed as anything but a "hide history from local users" feature?

All I've seen is the marketing for "buying gifts for your spouse in secret"-feature.

You are saying they have marketed it as a total privacy feature, like the VPN companies do?
Great guys but the design they offer is a lever operated machine which IMO does not give you the consistency you need for production runs. The problem is that your arm applies an inconsistent amount of pressure whereas a pneumatic machine like the one from OP does not. I looked at their design and the holipress when I looked at low cost benchtop molders and that was one reason I decided against them. I actually built a lever machine first and disassembled it when I wasn’t happy with the results

Although, I did find it odd the redditor suggested YouTubers and internet personalities as potential avenues for dissemination, since those are the people who make their careers not off the originality of their content, but their ability to do what Mark Dawson has done: quickly assimilate information and arguments, assemble into compelling narratives, and monetize amplification of engagement through networking and modern mechanisms.
I'm not a writer either and I know nothing about plagiarism, but it would seem harsh to judge a novelist by the same standard as an academic.

Academics are expected to use citations, not primarily because reusing a 5-word phrase would in itself be problematic, but because it's important for other scientists to be able to trace the idea back to its original context.

Novelists on the other hand can't just include a footnote reference at the end of each sentence. And borrowing bits and pieces from other artists is completely normal, even desirable, in many arts. It's how the art form evolves.

Although you are being a bit rude calling me naive, you are not wrong regarding your percentage, and I was wrong in my general attitude that few people do outside the USA, however I meant, most countries that practice circumcision other than the USA ( western / developed ). However you are right regarding all countries, and for this I thank you for opening my eyes.

I am from Europe where it isn't a thing, this table should help explain the difference in opinion in the West.

Top 5 Countries by Circumcision Rate High and Low

United States 50-60%

Indonesia >90%

Pakistan >90%

Bangladesh >90%

Egypt >90%

(European Countries with Lowest Circumcision Rates)

Finland <1%

Denmark <2%

Norway <2%

Sweden <3%

Iceland <1%

PS - it was unprofessional to add a link to a random article on reasons for circumcision, it makes you sound butthurt, no one asked or cares to discuss genital mutilation reasons. If you are interested in sharing your vague opinion and articles about it then Ill bite. Not anyone cares in this thread about my opinion on this matter (understandably) but I find it barbaric and have only pity for any man subjected to it as a child.

The verses from Deuteronomy aren’t a clear-cut condemnation, because they refer to following other gods vs the God of the old testament. Deuteronomy was transcribed at a time when there were a ton of potential gods for the Israelites to follow.

The Bible also has lots of stories of people taking incredible risks to follow the leaders God chose for them, so I'm not sure it has great advice for biblically-minded investors under the sway of a greedy pastor.
Wealth != liquidity

Especially when free cash flow or an owner's liquidity is required quarterly by creditors. Even that is a big simplification: Elon has co-investors in what, to them, is a prestige investment. Getting diluted in down rounds dissipates a lot of prestige, so it is likely that any of Elon's money to prop up Twitter comes in via loans. That money comes from margin loans on TSLA which has a precarious P/E ratio. SpaceX's valuation, which is based on the post money valuation after a Saudi wealth fund bought 0.5% of the cap table, is very high but it's all illiquid. Starlink should have been ready to spin off at a fabulous valuation had it met subscriber goals, but it is about 10% of the way to 2023 goals.

Elon is an extremely rich man, and people like that have hobbies. The Washington Post, for example. But that cost about 0.2% the price of Twitter. Probably less than Bezos's yacht.
Suspense does necessarily mean cliffhangers. The time between a joke start and punchline is getting shorter. Look at Friends or early BigBangTheory, not the highest calibre of entertainment but they had many jokes that were setup over seasons. That isnt a thing anymore. Everything must be packaged up in a single scene. Modern shows are just dull, taking forever for anything to happen due to all the re-explaining (Mandalorian). That isnt suspenseful, just slow.
Recently I ended up subscribing to Walmart+, because I was planning on taking advantage of having groceries shipped to my house.

When I went to actually order the groceries though, Walmart informed me that I should be tipping my driver who is actually delivering the groceries. I gave a 20% tip except they delivered it to the wrong address and I ended up on the phone with Walmart for about 40 minutes to get everything refunded anyway.
That is beyond amazing to me.

As a layperson in biology related stuff, I'd like to ask: How do scientists estimate the age of non-human animals?

It's not clear from the article but animals can generally live quite a bit longer than you'd expect if they continue to grow for their entire life, which is true for some types of fish. Gunk that builds up inside or between cells gets redistributed over larger areas, as do cells that become senescent. And larger size means more space for memory T cells. Those are only some aspects of aging of course.

My statement above is that their activities are illegal and wrong, not that one implies the other.

It's like shitting on their front yard when they've asked you a million times not to shit in the front yard, put a sign that says "Please don't shit on my front yard", and sprayed insecticide all over the grass to try to deter you from shitting on the front yard. And yet you still shit on their front yard and even have the balls to argue that there's nothing wrong or illegal about it. This is absolutely insane.

You mentioned this twice within two messages. What exactly is your agenda here? Consent is entirely irrelevant in the context of CSAM, since the consent of a child does not authorize anybody to produce pornography of them.

I don't support the idea of deepfakes, yet despite agreeing with most else you said I'm more disturbed that you're in favor of normalizing the idea that anybody exercising their right to expression is beholden to the feelings of their subject.

You do realize what chilling effect that has on basic discourse? Consider the absurdity of someone photoshopping foreskins back onto Israeli dudes' nudes in protest of the (non-consensual!) RIC practices of the Jews.

Sure. That's irrelevant though. 20+ years of piracy data shows it doesn't hurt sales. Don't drink the koolaid.
This needs some qualifications.

The above problem is about latency of stop the world collectors in a domain that requires extremely low latency. And if you think that stop the world collections are representative of garbage collection as a whole (i.e. the "bad rap"), this is just not being up to the state of the art. (It's just that generational/incremental collection is hard to impossible without having support for write barriers/read barriers/snapshotting on the compiler or hardware side, which makes that a practical no-go for a language that was never designed to have GC support.)

But in terms of throughput, the BDW GC actually performs pretty well, competitive with or beating malloc()/free() libraries. This is plenty enough for a number of applications, especially when it comes to batch processing. In fact, even the stop the world latency is (combined with parallel marking) plenty good enough for a number of types of regular GUI applications, where you don't have the fairly extreme latency requirements of standard video games.

It is also worth noting that manual deallocation (especially via RAII) isn't a panacea for latency, as that is just as prone to large pauses due to cascading deletes [1].

[1] While in theory you can do that lazily, in this case you're losing timeliness of deletion and may actually have worse worst case latency than a modern GC that can stagger its work to have bounded pause times. The benefit of RAII is that you may be able to plan these deletions, but even that can be surprisingly difficult at times, requiring extra management to keep data structures alive longer than normal. [2]

[2] Note that lazily deleting objects in RC to avoid pause times is not necessarily the answer; for one thing, you're introducing much of the complexity associated with incremental GC again (especially having to do X amount of deallocation work for each allocation), or risking considerable space overhead. https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/964001.964019 It also remains a difficult challenge when you're dealing with objects that aren't of bounded size (e.g. large arrays).
The only deterministic thing is the call point, Herb points out that just like calling malloc()/free() it is not possible to deterministically assert the execution time, more so with complex data structures where not only there is a domino effect of destructors being called, there is also the possibility of causing stack overflows if the destuctors are written incorrectly, to build an argument for presenting his deferred pointer class, which is basically a GC in disguise.
