I wonder how long that strategy will work. Eventually society will reach a new "equilibrium" but how many less defended societies will succumb to the starving hordes before that happens.

I quote "equilibrium" because social structures never stop changing. What I mean is a relatively stable situation where most of the world is not invading the rest of the world. Our present situation is that the larger portion of the population is not invading the rest, though the present trend seems to be in the wrong direction.
"though it was clear she was in pain"

One can learn how to handle pain yourself. Some people went very far with this.

While younger, I was a bit advanced in those technics - basically it is about accepting the pain and working with it.

In my theory, pain was like a alarm sound - and a painkiller just deactivating the alarm, but therefore maybe stopping a adequate body response.

Nowdays I got a bit softer as currently I am on weak painkillers, but a very low dose compared to the recommendations. And for my (disease related) empty stomach, this is probably way better. Also less extra stress on the liver and kidneys.

But even so, I experienced the feeling, that can put people into the path of addiction. Just one more pill and everything feels fine again. No more struggle, being calm again. But this is dangerous.

These are all reasonable observations, but they don't remotely substantiate "The chances of humanity surviving are incredibly slim, IMO."

Just tone down the hyperbole. No serious informed science exists to predict human extinction, though lots of ecosystems and most large wild animals are at high risk.
> The compiler has built-ins for parts of libc exactly because dynamic linkage is ridiculous for performance […]

The argument is entirely contrived and has no root in facts. Compiler built-ins appeared in GNU C/C++ compilers as an attempt to replace the non-portable inline assembly with portable primitives – across compilers and across different architectures as well. The rationale is well documented in the GNU C/C++ compiler v2.3 circa documentation, and it has nothing to do with the dynamic linking.

The use of the compiler built-ins increased once the C/C++ compilers gained the interprocedural, in-file, holistic optimisation capabilities – to improve the quality of the generated code. Moreover, compiler built-ins had been present in some form even in the 32-bit Watcom C compiler for MS-DOS and MS-DOS had no shared libraries or whatsoever.

> The chances of a particular routine being in L1 is absolutely miniscule - it's hard enough to keep a single process and it's data in L1 and L2 […]

CPU caches work at addresses being accessed level, not at the process level. The CPU knows nothing about processes – the CPU is a code interpreter.

One copy of «strlen» in a single memory page at a single physical memory address shared across all processes has a much better chance of staying in the cache for a longer time as opposed to 10k copies of the same «strlen» implementation in 10k memory pages strewn across 10k distinct physical addresses. A single page that is accessed frequently has a higher hit rate and, thus, fewer chance of getting evicted from the cache – these are the basics one can't go against. CPU's other than Intel CPU's have larger or large I-caches, too, therefore very frequently used code has higher chances of survival in the CPU cache. Most importantly, however, the CPU cache (L1/L2) size is not the bottleneck, the TLB size is – a frequently accessed address is better from the TLB perspective than 10k distinct addresses as it will result in a fewer number of the TLB flushes.

Lastly, the shared library cache I was referring to has nothing to do with the CPU execution time. It is the cache where the shared libraries are «pre-linked» to reduce the startup, the GOT fixup and the dynamic library initialisation times – to improve the user experience, not performance.

This is a good point but you really need to have a comparison when you say your healthcare is crumbling. Are you talking about specialized care?

I think healthcare in the US is beyond messed up. In my area which is a large city in the North East US it is very difficult to be able to get into ER because rooms are filled with people who are trying to get non-urgent care. These people have no money, no insurance and their only way to get care is to go to ER. System is rotten to the core.

I also did not get your last paragraph are you talking about the US or Denmark? I would be shocked to hear income inequality problem is worse in Denmark.

I had the same skepticism, but I realized the rationale behind targeting Pixel phones makes a lot of sense. It makes development much easier for a small development team, Pixel is a high quality phone that also is one of the easiest to install custom ROMs on, and I think there's some sort of integrity checking hardware on Pixels not present on other Android phones.

It would be great if some sort of libre Pixel clone could be made so that Google is not needed at that level, but that simply doesn't exist yet. Otherwise, all you're doing is trading the devil of Google for some other devil like Samsung.

Birth rates decline pretty proportionally to economic development, arriving at well below replacement levels in highly developed countries. In light of this, it seems misguided to expend energy personally convincing people to have less children, when we could just focus on bringing more people up to the western standard of living that, apparently, organically makes having many kids mostly unappealing.

Less charitably, this is the kind of advice that mostly seems like an excuse to preach at people.

> (...) Brexit causing the housing crisis in the Netherlands?

I didn't claimed Brexit caused the dutch housing crisis.

What I referred to was how more institutions and corporations have moved and are moving to the Netherlands, and with them they bring in high-paying jobs filled by an ever increasing expat community. Housing is scarce already and the sudden inflow of people with a higher purchasing power are progressively pricing locals out of the housing market, worsening a problem that's already quite bad.

The latest dutch elections already reflect the growing discontent of average dutch people towards the immigration wave. Even if it's caused by foreign interference aimed at destabilizing European nations by manipulating the public to support extremist parties with a anti-european agenda, these foreign actors are only fanning discontent that's already present.

It doesn’t. That would use way too much water and not even be a good way to clean surfaces.

There’s jets of pressurized water spraying and sometimes (I believe) air to dry everything afterwards, so the worst that would happen is that the person inside would get an unexpected shower:

I know someone in the US who is currently being treated for cancer. His chemo drugs have been hit by shortages and he has to beg his insurance company to approve of a different chemo drug for this life saving treatment.

I was born and raised Catholic, then I found Wicca and realised that not all the gods and religions work like Christianity.

Then, sometime around 10-20 years ago but gradually rather than as a single event, I realised I could get stuff out of stories without believing them.

The ancient Greeks got on well with their very flawed pantheon. Those old tales put me very much in mind of the modern comic-book heroes (and anti-heroes), which I suspect is mainly due to where comic books get their inspiration from rather than the other way around. But I can be inspired by Miles Morales' struggles without needing to think he's real.

Because people form their impressions of what the world is like by continually reading anecdotes like this, I'd like to at least throw my own experience out there. I (not my friend) got out of the Army needing three spine surgeries in the span of 16 months, after years of increasingly worthless non-invasive treatments. This involved daily percocet for a very long time along with periods of time in which I couldn't do much beyond mindlessly watch television while falling in and out of sleep.

I did recover, though. Today, I run 40-50 miles a week, lift 6 days a week, work in software making five times what the Army ever paid me, haven't touched a painkiller in 7 years, and don't even drink.

Make of it what you will, but people are individuals and medical policy should reflect this. Pill mills are a problem but physicians deserve the judgment and discretion you should expect of someone we spend up to a decade training and licensing.

I'm aware of the diplomatically said, "flawed democracy" which is the Russian political system, but the fact remains valid.
> Are people ignoring it?

Every problem has a different solution, but our inability to mobilize and solve the problem before it becomes a crisis seems to share a common theme.

Namely that our representatives and government officials have chosen to ignore the problem; I feel journalists have played a large part in exposing the problem and even then it's been an uphill battle.

> Or do people just not know how to solve it? What would you propose as a solution?

The political will to treat our fentanyl and opioid addicts is sort of there but the funding is not. Right now governments have been battling the Sacklers in court and it seems our collective state and federal government isn't really winning.

I'll go back to the Dust Bowl: My fantasy is to bus all of the addicts to the people who need to see this non-stop. No violence.

Bring them to the state/Federal officials where they work of course, but I'd love to see them bused to near the Sacklers' home; and to their retreats of choice. Non-stop. Until there's nowhere for them to run except out of the country.

And the opioid-wealthy become pariah until they clean-up their own mess.

As an immigrant who never learned how to be politically active and am a bit old and crusty now, I wouldn't even know where to start; but it's a fun fantasy at least.

Well, there is this cool physics/art installation of 1301 fluorescent tubes being lit by high-voltage lines [0].

There is the story I heard about early in the history of long-distance high-tension lines someone building an inductive coil to harvest electricity, and getting convicted of theft, which seem legit, since it is coupling with the lines and pulling more power than the grasses & ground would pull. There are also various references available online to cases, but the readily available ones don't seem to link to any court case (e.g., [1]).

I saw some back-of-the-envelope calculations about it being on the scale of 25 millivolts/mile, so you'd need quite a coil to get anything more useful than powering a bulb. Anyone with better calculations or actual measurements?

Comments like we need to “relinquish capitalism” cement the fact for me that climate change doomerism is a thinly veiled attempt to push a collectivist economic system, not an honest attempt to actually help the environment.

I’ll stick with the economic system that has reduced global poverty by 80% in the last century, and brought us everything from clean water to smartphones. Not the economic system that resulted in the genocide of millions, the systematic theft from the working class and which continues to oppress people under crushing dictatorships in places like Cuba and Venezuela.
Actually!, having two subtly different click-on selectors was never a good idea.

There should be no “radio buttons” only checkboxes and then use select menus for exclusive selection.

Physical push-in radio buttons have not been in new cars since the 1970s. Even digital radio preset buttons are gone now.

Select menus, the kind that popup when you click on them, are unambiguously exclusive-choice menus. Just use those.

Can cURL's HTTP/3 implementation work with self signed certs? Pretty much every other HTTP/3 lib used by major browsers do not. And since HTTP/3 does not allow for null cypher or TLS-less connections this means in order to establish an HTTP/3 connection a third party CA must be involved.

As is right now it is impossible to host a HTTP/3 server visitable by a random person you've never met without a corporate CA continually re-approving your ability to. HTTP/3 is great for corporate needs but it'll be the death of the human web.
Does dataflow necessarily require a graphical interface? My experience with LabVIEW was simply the sheer amount of manual labor required to write more than a trivial program, and the eyestrain headaches that came with it.

Good to hear. Java also recently added the ability to make custom string interpolators with that exact use-case in mind. I know C# has LINQ, which is similar to query monads in Scala, but IMO using string interpolators tends to be cleaner for more complex queries.
