> "muslim immigrants that cause problems" is in the hundreds, at most

Talking about outright lying, eh?

Its like you forcefully trying look at the issue as close as possible to ignore reality of the big picture.

Today's problems will be bigger tomorrow. Its about trends and where its going, NOT where it is now.

The trend of illegal and legal immigration from muslim (and african) countries will not slow down. Their countries will be producing poor, desperate people forever. Its a fallout of cultural shift in philosophy abandoning science (look up al-Ghazali). EU countries will either regulate migration or will have to somehow deal with ever increasing muslim population.

Muslim culture is not accommodating it doesnt assimilate. You don't have to guess that its happening, you have examples in France and Germany. Where Moroccan, Turkish communities created their own bubbles a parallel socialites at odds with the host countries. Where are Polish minorities in France? Where are Czech ones in Germany? Why we never had a terrorist attack by polish migrant(s) for making jokes about every pole being carjacker? Immigration from within EU self assimilates as EU cultures are pretty much variation of same base culture. That happens automatically.

Talking about Dutch or Belgian (not 100% sure), they released economical statistics about migrants by avg impact of given groups. EU migrants net positive gains for economy. Muslim and african avg net negative. You might spin the facts and feel good stories but it doesnt change the reality. Reality obvious to middle and lower classes who are actually first to experience the outcomes of that. Its mad to think that an average citizens will not turn to right wing. Then left is wondering how is right on the rise across all eu?! its baffling

There are plenty of outspoken Muslim community people openly saying they will out-breed their host population and take over. And you dont need that much. 10% of population is significant enough to elect their own politicians, as they will always get votes from religious block. adding fuel right into far-right bonfire

Nobody is learning from mistakes of others. No-go zones in sweeden were a right wing made up propaganda 5 years ago. A reality nobody is even questioning now.
I tried to parse a few hundreds pdfs with it. The results are pretty decent. If this was developed in Julia, it would be ten times faster (at least).
Python presents an abstraction, but underneath, it's bound by the address space just as C is.
For me, and perhaps a decent number of users, it does what it always did, be links I could look at now and then when linked, and laugh.

I can't do that with Facebook and Instagram anymore as there are logins up the wazoo.

So for my use case (and I'm not a customer or even a user), it's still the same.
That's actually very well put. I can very much see that happening.
Boy, Hacker News is a tough crowd to tell a joke to. I will keep trying, though.
I've definitely been asked to review physics papers in MDPI that are clearly high quality and worthy of better journals. It's not that easy to filter out

Well it depends on how you look at it. We’ve had to say no to several projects due to high interests rates and global supply lines, and we’re hardly the only company to be in that situation. So on one hand it’s not like we’re not still making money, we’re just making around 90% less than we could’ve done if the supply lines were still capable of delivering the stuff we need and if we were capable of doing projects where a good part were funded by loans on top of investor money.

The net result is that we’re around 2000 fewer people than we planned to be in 2025. Again, not that we aren’t generating money, because we’re still on black books, but far, far, less than what we wanted and it’s not likely to change in the foreseeable future.

One of the major reasons the job market is still doing just fine is because the larger generations are being replaced by much smaller generations, so there are simply fewer workers in the total pool. If there weren’t things wouldn’t look this bright.
Not nearly as important as Science, but I had a friend who worked at a noteworthy video game publication in the 90s who had many good stories of bribes, arm-twisting, etc from game publishers.
NY and WA have a three hour time difference, so at least five hours of overlap in a work day. Employees in Europe or Asia would have bigger differences. But my main point is that hiring people from another country does present a novel situation to many employers. Whether their concerns have any basis or solutions is beside the point. If someone has a fear of flying you can't make them feel better with facts about safety.

Plenty of employers believe foreign employees, or American employees working from abroad, create complicated tax and legal problems for the employer. Sometimes that's true, sometimes not, and usually they could find a solution if sufficiently motivated. But even so it's a lot to ask an employer, to create a special case or do the research, when they think they can just as easily get someone without those possible problems. Ask your employer to pay you through PayPal or in Bitcoin and you'll see what I mean -- it's not a matter of possibility or legality, just that you create a bureaucratic exception that someone has to handle.

So based on some real, some imaginary, and mostly solvable problems that nonetheless look like risk, hassle, and exceptions to standard process, employers choose what looks like the easy and safe route.
I think linkers don't go this far to rewrite the debug info. If libstd is used, libstd's debug info is used.

The second problem is dynamic dispatch. The overhead in "hello world" is from printing and panicking machinery (it handles closed stdout), and these features use vtables, so it's even harder to precisely analyze what's actually used and what isn't.
I would do my best to avoid it
This seems like a really limited reading of Fanon tbh. His works basically address most of these arguments, which you can then disagree with or not but it's not like he doesn't have a refutation.

In fact at one point you're pointing a fanon-like argument back at him without acknowledging it or its original point:

> the societies liberated by such ideologies become unruly as they essentially condone violence as means to an end

Fanon's claims are consistent with this, he addresses it directly. Except he of course is talking about societies that use colonialist violence as a means to their ends, not those reaching for liberation through violence. Seems relevant here. If those who use violence for liberation are corrupted by it, what does it do to those of us who use it for no great purpose except our own benefit, as our societies certainly have?

You're also conflating military conflict with violence per se, an error that Fanon doesn't make. This elision allows you to draw distinctions between resistance and civilians that doesn't exist as we're seeing so so clearly in gaza right now.

And then, finally, this distinction between "good" peaceful nonviolent resistance and "bad" actively violent resistance is ahistorical. None of these groups or figures consistently considered themselves to be divided in this way. Malcolm X and MLK were allies, that disagreed and opposed each other on some issues, and respected and abetted on others. Successful nonviolent resistance movements generally, certainly the two you mention specifically, are effective because of a radical movement with the will to violence at its flank.

White people negotiate with MLK so that Malcolm X doesn't burn their businesses down. Look at the environmentalist movement for what you can accomplish through peaceful protest without the threat of violence behind it: global scale and decades of mobilization accomplishing almost nothing.

Have you considered making this an app instead? If you're building this with API calls, most people probably already have the hardware to try it. Focusing on the hardware aspect might limit the number of people who try your product.

>> We lamented that dating sites discouraged people from being upfront about their sexual desire; we decided you could simply say that you want to ‘bang’ someone.

I agree there needs to be an outlet for people to say those things. I was chatting on the phone with a match from FB Dating and asked why she disappeared last year. She said a couple times she just got so disgusted with the men saying stuff (she wasn't explicit) she deleted the profile and left conversations hanging.

Sure, everyone knows sex is part of (or all of) what you want to find in dating apps, but there needs to be some filtering. Maybe DTF and LIKE need to be orthogonal options - either or both. And "like dirty talk" is a filter.
Well, Science (the journal/magazine) runs on kickbacks and bribes too. They just do it through subscriptions that milk public funds so that public can read articles written and reviewed using public money.

Academic publishing is a totally rotten industry, regardless of the funding model. Publishers shouldn't even exist. Dissemination and evaluation of scientific outputs could easily and should be facilitated by e.g. university libraries.

SolarWinds was a cybersecurity company, so a hack causes people to fundamentally question things. Tesla, on the other hand, doesn't need cars to get hacked for them to self-drive people into barriers or emergency vehicles, and the stock price isn't touched when yet another person dies. Why would a hack change anything?

Do we know which jobs are affected? Was it mostly marketing, sales etc or engineers?
It works fine if you replace that by the same thing, which is what most langages (with slices) do.

The problem is that Go does not do that, because its designers could not be arsed to provide a separate vector type it’s (ptr, int, int) and now you can start stomping on out-of-slice memory unless the creator of the slice has used the extended slicing form.
Rolex has always been desired as a status symbol, but at one point, it was desired both as a status symbol and a practical timekeeping device with great precision. A lot of people own a Rolex that has been handed down from generations past that will fall into that second bucket.

Nowadays, most people buying them are doing so strictly for the clout, especially in an era with cheap Seikos and ubiquitous phones. This is especially true of those who come from real wealth, where class signalling keeps you in certain circles. The rest of the sales are from people who desire that -- influencers, upper middle class, and so on. They have to jump through all the hoops just to be allowed to buy one.
Great idea, I would use something like this. Would be helpful to add tags/categories with grade level/difficulty if students want to use this for studying at their level.
> Are celebrity endorsements actually useful for building trust?

I can't imagine this is highly controversial. Of course celebrity endorsements can be useful for building trust. This is supported observationally and by years of research in marketing psychology. It's not even necessarily limited to megastars : even endorsements from niche influencers and small-fish content creators can be marketing goldmines, nevermind the kind of overnight headwinds your product can get if someone with the reach of Oprah, Rogan, Musk et al starts pushing it.
If I had no options, yes. However, since there are plenty of options, I will be avoiding it.
Santa Fe institute pubs? I’m curious to go there is it open to the public?
Given it has a 'date' as well as a 'sleep with' option, it really does seem built around sex positivity principles to me.

I can understand the trads being mad about it because they abhor casual sex in general, but at least from a second wave sex positive liberal feminism POV I really don't see any toxicity to the concept.
This sort of aggression is toxic masculinity.
Those are the fancy ones (scratching your ID card is still annoying). The less fancy ones use a lighting scheme on the phone or zooming methods to detect fake actors and do not require a human on the other side. The fancy ones also do not scale.
We are in for a hell of a year.

Talked about this today with a friend after a few different ads designed to look like they were news stories from the CBC (and also included interviews with Elon Musk). The audio (voice recreation) and lip sync are getting really good, really fast. But this is more a question of YouTube not having mechanisms to prevent (or at least quickly remove) blatant impersonation (especially of news sites). Unmoving news logos in the lower third seem like ideal candidates for identification/verification.
> That's your personal assertion

Of course it is :-). I never pretended it was an objective fact!

> and one that contrasts with the very nature of Agile

Wait, we were talking about "the Agile framework", not "the very nature of Agile".

> So what point do you think you're making, other than being needlessly contrarian?

The point I am trying to make is that the implementation of Agile is usually cargo cult. Companies say in the job offers that they "are agile". Managers have stand ups every day where nobody listens to anything the others have to say, but don't even question the practice. Estimating "stories" for years without apparently seeing that they never had estimates that were better than truly random guesses, instead of thinking that "maybe estimations don't work in our case, why?".

I am not saying that nobody has common sense anywhere, or that the agile framework never works. Just that I have seen Agile methodologies being applied for long enough, and the vast majority of the time, those who applied them were cargo culting big time.

> trying to denigrate something you don't even understand.

Are you implying that because I don't like the Agile religion, I must not understand it?
It’s really worrying that the scientific community seems unable to implement better institutions and processes for itself.

Publishing articles is a requisite for professional advancement, yet editors and reviewers are usually unpaid. It doesn’t take a genius to understand the incentives at play.
Prigozhin, who mutinied against Putin, also died in a plane crash. Maybe the crash was truly an accident, but Putin and Russia do not deserve the benefit of the doubt.
Strong agree on (1). I don't mind the copyright violation personally, but as an academic who develops these types of problems, attribution would be the polite thing to do.
It is a signal of quality. There are entire classes of bug which are much less likely to occur in apps written in rust.

As with all signals, it is neither a guarantee nor entirely meaningless.
>What else can be done? This isn't a meritocracy, it's just capitalism.

What an absurd take. Just because it involves money doesn't mean it's "capitalism"s fault, for starters because this has way more to do with regulatory capture than anything else.

The number one reason for all these fraudulent research is that it has become mandatory for phds, and that education in the west is subsidized to a point that you need a phd to qualify for jobs that would have only required a bachelor's 50 years ago. There's a law of diminishing returns to science, so vastly increasing the amount of people researching is going to disappoint lots of them. It's only reasonable that a number of them will take the easy way out and cheat.
Take the money and publish a retraction disclosing why. ....what to do with the money?
That's the most useful metric vs. undetected impacts.

It's positive that they all happened in the last 16 years and the frequency seems to be increasing. The Rubin Observatory using AI to search will drastically increase the number. That might be enough to raise public awareness sufficiently to create a defense. Asteroid detection and defense along with studying solar events should be a higher priority than our current boogie men.
This is incorrect. Servo was a test bed for new architectural changes within Firefox. Some of them made their way into Firefox, like Stylo and WebRender.
This is also about externalities : these two sources already have quite a lot of them even without considering the greenhouse effects.

They are also less effective than the (foreign) alternatives, and it becomes impractical to differentiate at the very end of the chain, when it all been blended together and processed... This in theory should be handled by market forces, but in practice it doesn't seem to work : the US tight oil industry has been losing money almost every year since its restart in the oughties, yet somehow keeps getting funded : is this the next big Wall Street scam after subprime mortgages, funded with bank bailout money ??
People can already comment if they want to explain their reasoning. A forced comment would more likely lead to a flood of repetitive explanations, and in general probably to many low-quality excuses. Because let's be honest, many downvotes are probably not for some high level justifiable reason. At the end, most attendees here are likely just normal humans with normal human flaws and showing the usual social friction. Forcing people to explain themselves, would just open Pandora's box and brewing bad blood.
I would, and I have recently. It's certainly not my first choice, but in absolute terms, the risk is still very low. And depending on the route (and, as you mentioned, the possibility that the aircraft can change after booking), it can be pretty hard to entirely avoid unless you just don't fly, or take incredibly inconvenient routings.
This is pretty normal for the start of a downturn. There's probably a bunch of forced vacation going on (or will be), too. I remember a lot of that from the healthier companies in the 2002 time frame and a friend of mine at a more hardware-oriented company told me his company is doing that.
If it was an easy thing to do like checking a box, I'd do it, but honestly I fly often enough that it'd probably be more trouble than I care to go through.
"We're gonna go ahead and tighten some of those."

Hm, I've found it much more useful for journaling and ideation than for notetaking (and I've found this to be true for other tools for thought like Roam/Obsidian as well).

I generally don't take notes when trying to learn something, I usually like to be more hands on (by doing problems, making a project applying the principles, etc.) When I write it's usually to reflect, or to hash out a more open ended problem.
I had high hopes for the A380, but it turned out less comfortable than I hoped. It may be an artifact of the sheer size, or the choice of engines, or the programming for those engines, but the cruising surges aren't comfortable for me.

So far the 787 has been the nicest long distance plane I've flown in (though I never did get a chance to fly in a 747).
tbh the english wikipedia article seems to lend "terroir" a meaning that it doesn't have in french: it's not really used to "describe the environmental factors that affect a crop's phenotype".

It refers to a region and the practices/traditions of the people living there, particularly for agricultural products. It doesn't have much deeper meaning than "traditional production of Devon" (or whatever other place): it _implies_ that the environment is important but it's not really what it _means_.
It's true that Science is very invested in this bad (for everyone else) publishing model, and I suppose if somehow, by omission, they managed to convince the population that open access is inherently scammy, that's all the more convenient for them. I wouldn't necessarily group Derek in with that, though, and he's not wrong about this.
What language would? Even if you directly write assembly the microcode or pipelining layers are not visible to you, its abstracted in hardware itself. In that sense I think accusing C of not being hardware friendly because these aspects are not exposed to it is nonsense. These are not exposed to even assembly language forget any other higher level language. Regarding parallel programming and GPUs I think a better case could be made for alternative abstractions.
You: Does the phrase "negligent union parasites" refer to one union or is it applicable to many different unions?

ChatGPT: The phrase "negligent union parasites" is a derogatory and generalized statement that is not specific to any particular union. Instead, it seems to be a broad and negative characterization that could be directed towards members or aspects of various unions. It's important to note that such language is highly biased and does not reflect an objective or fair assessment of unions or their members. Unions can vary widely in their practices, effectiveness, and the satisfaction of their members, and like any large organization, they may have both strengths and weaknesses. It's always more constructive to address specific concerns or issues rather than using generalized negative labels.

That should be all points really. Why are you suddenly, as a platform holder, not responsible for the content you host if money changes hands for you to host it first? That makes no sense, you are still the party putting that content in front of an audience, and as part of a contractual arrangement no less.
Headline: All arabica coffee is genetically similar

But:

> The study found evidence of significant chromosomal rearrangements, especially in a varietal of C. arabica called Bourbon. There were deletions, in which fragments of chromosomes were missing — in some cases large chunks — and even instances in which entire chromosomes were absent.

Does this really count as genetically similar? I would have imagined that the presence and order of genes was an important aspect of genetic variation.
This gives a good overview of the pains in getting a package on to CRAN, but that is sadly only the beginning. If you end up getting users, the process described here becomes fractally bad for future updates, as you can also receive rejections for breaking any test in any dependent package.

Any test, in any package, even if it is using some regex on an error message and you updated the wording to remove a typo.
It works incredibly well, that's why it keeps happening. Most people do follow pretty much exactly that thought process.
