Whereas higher education is free in most of europe, you are still usually reliant on getting sent money from your parents to finance your living expenses. In Scandinavia you are not dependant on having parents with money to pursue higher education.

If you get accepted to a University, you apply and you'll get equivalent of 13-14k usd every year of study to cover living expenses.

Up to 40% of it gets converted to a grant, depending on how many of your classes you passed. The loan is also under very favorable conditions, interest free while studying, very low interest after finished, usually paid over 20 years, and you can postpone payment up to 36 times (3 years) whenever you want.

If you follow the comment you replied to the discussion was about implementing a renderer. So no, I am not shifting the conversation to implement a renderer. The conversation is about implementing a renderer. That it is incredibly difficult to do today with the modern specs is the point.
Glad to see Israel face some responsibility for its horrific acts against civilians.

Sounds like a ceasefire to me. How else would they do this? Definitely not with any of the military tactics Israel is currently using.

It would be quite nice if Firefox opened EPUBs properly instead of requiring the just-good-enough EPUBreader add-on.

I'd value that a lot more than Pocket (which I always turn off).
Preach. This kind of shift is one of my worries too but. But since this isn't a "movement" in any real sense and it's just individual women choosing for themselves the tide is gonna be what it's gonna be and we have to deal with that fallout.

Rook has four parapets (and four gaps).

Bishop has a diagonal slit.

King has 8 stubby protrusions in his crown.

Queen has 8 pointy protrusions in her crown.

Pawns are most basic (ironic considering their qualities are most byzantine). I guess it's nice to have a baseline piece for aesthetics.
They focused on the water color, acidity, and the effect on the fishes, but they are not putting enough stress in the elephants in the room, the 2.4+ºC increase of average temperature northern regions over very few years (not since preindustrial times) and the massive permafrost thawing that is happening there.

Yes, it is causing this. And many more things in those regions and all the world, for more time than a single framed picture.

I am getting the same vibes from this as I did when Google was found guilty of abusing monopoly power. People lost their minds because “Apple is so much worse!” Never mind that the two lawsuits filed by Epic against Google and Apple were over different things and had different results because of it.

The DMA targeted different companies in different ways all under the rubric of combatting “gatekeeping.” They then went on to say how different companies were guilty of that crime in different ways. It would not surprise me at all if Apple has complied with what the EU singled Apple out for. It also wouldn’t surprise me if casual observers have conflated all the different flavors of gatekeeping that the DMA has directed at all companies.

You seem to be surprised by hipocrisy? People will go to great lengths to justify to themselves why they're "the good guys". Having a strong dogmatic adherence to religion at worst intensifies this problem by increasing the cognitive dissonance through essentialism: "I am a good person so this thing I did can't have been that bad". This is why you'll hear people being found out to have done something for years insist "but this isn't who I am" when that's literally who they are (i.e. a person who is consistently doing those things).

On the other side of the coin you have the idea that whatever you did in the past is forgiven as long as you feel really bad about having done it. Again religious predispositions can make this worse because now you don't have to repent before those affected but just before your deity (and unless you're Catholic this can even be in private rather than having to confess to another person), i.e. it doesn't matter what those you harmed think because only your deity can forgive you if it really was an evil act (and if it wasn't, those you harmed are being unreasonable if they hold a grudge).

So either she decided it was moral (no matter how plausible that is) or she decided God had forgiven her or that it would be outweighed by other things she did (like being a priest).

tl;dr

Let’s start with the extortion regime that’ll befell any large developer who might be tempted to try hosting their app in one of these new alternative app stores that the EU forced Apple to allow.

And let’s take Meta as a good example. Their Instagram app alone is used by over 300 million people in Europe. Let’s just say for easy math there’s 250 million of those in the EU. In order to distribute Instagram on, say, a new Microsoft iOS App Store, Meta would have to pay Apple $11,277,174 PER MONTH(!!!) as a “Core Technology Fee”. That’s $135 MILLION DOLLARS per year. Just for the privilege of putting Instagram into a competing store. No fee if they stay in Apple’s App Store exclusively.
Yeah I think it's proper for scholars to maintain a neutral frame of mind when conducting their research. The problem happens when that neutrality leaks out of the scholarly setting.

It is similar with the Romans, a very developed and interesting civilization which was nevertheless extremely brutal towards its foes.

Caesar's wars were basically one long string of genocides and the Roman military principle "Murum Aries Attigit" meant that unless a besieged city capitulated before the Romans started attacking it, there would be no mercy to the captives.
As Stalin himself has said, "never ask who is doing the voting, ask who is doing the counting".

Most Russian people do not care that much about Stalin since it's all too old and they care much more about Gorbachev and Yeltsin, who are much more recent butchers of Russia.

Some people do, but then again, some Italians, French and US campuses also give a lot of shits about people like Trotsky. An absolute majority of humanity are politically clueless, and the worst of them are also opinionated.

I guess it is a matter of experience and practice, as with anything else, really.

There is a very subtle mental state between "I am too aware that I am dreaming" and "there is no awareness of dreaming at all". I don't really know how to put it in words, but it seems that you BOTH need to supress part of the brain that wakes you up and prevent loosing awareness at the same time. It is very apparent during "ordinary" falling asleep, when you suddenly catch yourself that you are "seeing pictures" (hypnagogia phase) and become fully awake again. The trick is continue "falling asleep" without loosing awareness. Same applies during the lucid dream. You need to maintain balance.

You basically need to continue experimenting to notice those subtle changes to know which mental state would wake you up and which would not, so you'll get more precise control.

There are other factors at play for sure, like if you will manage to get your lucid dream right after first deep phase of sleep, your body would likely be not rested enough to quickly reach wakefulness, so you'll have more time.

I don't think that lucid dreaming is easy, and it was never easy for me. It was actually pretty hard work. It was almost impossible to get lucid dream if I was already mentally exhausted during the day. As soon as I stopped to practice, lucid dreams stopped too.
Composition and "separating interface from implementation" are not specific to OOP languages.

Composition has been used since LISP I and ALGOL 60 in almost all programming languages.

"Separating interface from implementation" is also the main feature of the programming languages based on abstract types, starting with Alphard and CLU, which are not OOP languages and which predate the time when Smalltalk has become known to the public, launching the OOP fashion.

An abstract type is defined by an interface, i.e. by a set of functions that have arguments of that type and this is a programming language feature that is completely independent of the OOP features like member functions, virtual functions and inheritance.

All OOP languages have some kind of abstract types, though with a different point of view on the relationships between individual objects and types a.k.a. classes and the functions that operate on them, but there have been many languages with abstract data types without the OOP features.

Moreover "separating interface from implementation" has also been the main feature of all programming languages based on modules, starting with Mesa, Modula and Ada.

The features that identify an OOP language are the idea that the functions belong to individual objects, not to types, hence the member functions, the substitution of the union types (of the right kind, like in Algol 68, not of the pathetic kinds encountered in Pascal and C and derived languages) with virtual functions (to provide an alternative form of dynamic polymorphism, which is preferable for closed-source software, by allowing changes without recompilation, unlike with tagged unions where there are select/case/switch statements that must be recompiled when the union is extended), and the inheritance in a class hierarchy.

There are many languages that are multi-paradigm, like C++ or D, where you can choose whether to write a program in an OOP style or in a totally different style, but there are also languages where it is difficult to avoid using the OOP features, or even impossible, because all the available data types may be derived from some base "object" type, inheriting its properties.

If we are using a Lisp interpreter, which executes s-expressions, we can do similar things, here an example using LispWorks, which has both a compiler and a source-level Lisp interpreter.

The function FOO has a BREAK.

CL-USER 76 > (defun foo (a)
(+ (break) (sin a)))
FOO

CL-USER 77 > (foo 10)

Break.
1 (continue) Return from break.
2 (abort) Return to top loop level 0.

Type :b for backtrace or :c <option number> to proceed.
Type :bug-form "<subject>" for a bug report template or :? for other options.

We are in the break lets get a quick backtrace and move to the right stack frame:

CL-USER 78 : 1 > :bq

INVOKE-DEBUGGER <- BREAK <- FOO <- EVAL <- CAPI::CAPI-TOP-LEVEL-FUNCTION <- CAPI::INTERACTIVE-PANE-TOP-LOOP <- MP::PROCESS-SG-FUNCTION

CL-USER 79 : 1 > :n
Call to INVOKE-DEBUGGER

CL-USER 80 : 1 > :n
Call to BREAK

CL-USER 81 : 1 > :n
Interpreted call to FOO

What is the current source?

CL-USER 82 : 1 > :lambda
(LAMBDA (A) (DECLARE (SYSTEM::SOURCE-LEVEL #<EQ Hash Table{0} 8220104A8B>)) (DECLARE (LAMBDA-NAME FOO)) (+ (BREAK) (SIN A)))

Let's change the code:

CL-USER 83 : 1 > (setf (third (fifth *)) '(* a 4))
(* A 4)

Let's see the new code.

CL-USER 84 : 1 > :lambda
(LAMBDA (A) (DECLARE (SYSTEM::SOURCE-LEVEL #<EQ Hash Table{0} 8220104A8B>)) (DECLARE (LAMBDA-NAME FOO)) (+ (BREAK) (* A 4)))

Move to the BREAK stack frame and return 2 from there:

CL-USER 85 : 1 > :p
Call to BREAK

CL-USER 86 : 1 > :ret 2
42

As you can see, we have changed the running source code, without the need to restart anything.

yikes! a cheapo generator on Amazon is like $10 and you can probably get them for less on AliExpress. Not sure if you'd have to amplify the signal for either LEDs or headphones but I imagine you'd want some kind of volume control for the headphones.

To me, it was only brutal because they made it so, it could have been a heaven.
So can you tell me which programming paradigm actually solves these problems that OOP has?

And also, can you give me a huge non-OOP codebase that shows in practice how it is better than the potential OOP implementation?

Jobs knew his audience: people who buy computers as appliances for specific tasks, and don't want to (or can't) understand anything about how computers actually work. To these folks, computing is basically magic; so it's easy to put a bit of fear into them to make them more faithful to the shaman.

I feel you may be overlooking the significance of the final clause in the sentence you quoted. Sure, one could come up with some hand-wavy outline of a non-physical explanation of consciousness which does not clearly stand in contradiction with a belief in the possibility of zombies - panpsychists do it all the time! - but that final clause is about verification. If zombies are possible, then consciousness is not doing anything observable that is not attributable to just the physical processes of the physical body.

I suppose zombiephiles could simply posit some sort of non-physical observable, but then they would be just piling on further unsubstantiated claims for the sake of preserving the zombie-possibility doctrine. They could adopt epiphenomenalism, but that means accepting that the apparent causal effectiveness of qualia is illusory. They might adopt a solipsistic stance and say that their conscious experiences are the only things they can be sure about, but that comes with a hefty dose of motte-and-baileyism: you doubt the external world, but you're sure about zombies?

On Chalmers' "additional natural law connecting consciousness to information rich processes": Firstly, proposing something is cheap; turning it into a verifiable hypothesis and then following through is hard, and Chalmers et. al. seem to have no interest or intention of doing that, preferring instead to endlessly repeat their anti-physicalism arguments. Secondly, there is an attempt to redefine what's meant by 'physical'. The physical was originally defined by what's tangible to our senses, and as additional phenomena having a causal connection to the physical world were discovered, they were naturally subsumed into an expanded concept of it (gravity, for example, despite Newton's unease over doing so.) Chalmers is free to propose causes that lie outside of our current concept of the physical (and he's even free to look for them!) but to insist, without any justification, that they would be non-physical, is at least tendentious and probably question-begging. To settle the question, we need more facts, not more speculation.

I'm not sure what to make of your last sentence: the p-zombie and Mary Room arguments are indeed intended to be critiques of physicalism, but as you have rejected the possibility of zombies, I assume you do not take them both to be successful arguments. One thing about Mary's Room is that you can make essentially the same argument, but with Mary's prior knowledge including Chalmers' additional natural laws.

ESP32's main niche is embedded WiFi and Btle. With Bluetooth there are some alternatives, but Espressif is the nicest. For Wi-Fi, there are no integrated alternatives I'm aware of. So, if I'm on ESP, it's probably because of WiFi and/or Btle, which makes IDF appealing.

As a married dude - I'll offer some advice to other engineers that may be having trouble due to political issues of potential mates.

Since the topic implies human coupling is down because of political ideologies... the advice is sort of like in business "put yourself where the majority of the business is"

- If you live in a place where the majority opinion is yours, you're all set.
- If not, move to where they are.

If you're conservative, living in Portland... it's going to be hard. If you're liberal living in Alabama, you may have to move to the east or west coasts.
