Hasn't the idea that homo sapiens were more intelligent been debunked in favour of the idea that they were more social and that's what gave them superiority
I think the hate for goto and the love of recursion have their origins with the ideas of the early 1970's when people like Dijkstra were obsessed with generating formal proofs from code. At the time they knew how to reason about recursion but not loops. And didn't know how to transform code with goto's.

They thought that if you banned things like loops, gotos multiple returns, etc you could produce a language suitable for 'real mathematics'. Turns out this is mostly garbage. But 50 years later it gets taught and people still believe it. People think recursion is this super duper thing when it's not. And people think multiple returns, goto, and continue statements are bad when they are fine.

Yeah but they got moderate paychecks for like a decade? Isn't that a "sustainable business model"?
Also, not enough standardization of measurements to make interchangeability to work. And another point is that shipping used to be too costly over anything but water --> whole production chain had to be quite localized.

Except Doble cars don't have a traditional boiler. They have a monotube boiler, which only holds a minuscule amount of water at any given time and thus has much less stored energy that could go boom.

This measure, as most welfare measures, punishes the middle class - the ones that pay, out of their own pocket the taxes that fund the welfare state.

It’s the same story all over Europe: the middle class sees close to 50% of their income taken away in taxes and contributions, and then is left paying for most of their expenses out of their own pocket.

Meanwhile rich people only pay a fraction of what they earn in taxes, and “poor” people get most stuff for “free”.

The saying is really correct: if you take half of someone’s wage to distribute for two people that didn’t do the same effort, you loose a vote, but you gain two.

Thank you very much! I had no idea that this existed. Those kids are lucky; I’ve always wanted to do something like that, but the closest I got was to be adjacent to a horse farm when I was growing up. I wish that there was some equivalent that I could get our daughter into. We live in Lake Saint Louis, which is about a 7 on a rural-to-city scale of 1 to 10. I wonder if there’s anything within driving distance…

She’s 7 months, so it’ll be a year or two before we’d be able to pursue it seriously, but one can dream. (I don’t know why I like goats so much.)

Anyway, thanks again. Have a good night.
> "More than 80 percent of Indians (about 700 million) live on less than $1.25 a day"

This quote is outdated.

It's 11.9% (167 million) on less than $2.15/day: https://ourworldindata.org/poverty?insight=the-rapid-progres...

Your quote requires India to have a population of about 875 million, it's currently about 1.4 billion.

> A more democratized technological advancement would benefit many more people, to a much greater degree

What does "democratized" even mean here? This stuff is widely available, do you want governments getting involved?

> But they'd almost certainly be a more accessible s/w development platform

What does "more accessible" mean? The knowledge to learn is given away for free. Making the tools multilingual or blind-accessible is hard but the big players do it anyway. Open source tools have man pages, which always had terrible reputations. Both open and closed source tools have wikis and forums and blogs.

I don't think anyone is arguing we need it to be perfect, which is impossible, but certainly the extreme situation we find ourselves in right now is ridiculous and much could be done.

> make these projects sustainable

You’re just showing your ignorance of redis. The project is sustainable without the company as the vast majority of work on the project is done by those who don’t work for the company.

What isn’t currently sustainable is the company. That’s all.
Cheaper because they don't pay for the externalities.

It's their own profits they are talking about, amazing people fall for this.
I don't know which part of your comment you're saying sarcastically, but I presume you're referencing the fact that Redis uses up a lot of memory.

This is because Redis is a caching database, and pulls the data into memory for it to be faster. This is by design.
> but intuition would suggest that it's actually quite healthy to eat the same animals that humans have been chomping on since the dawn of time

When life expectancy is no more than 40, you don't care about getting cancer at 60. When it's 80+, that's more of a problem. Moreover in traditional societies people have grown-up children long before they get cancer in average, so there's very little selective pressure on that front.
That sounds lovely!

I used to read a lot. Now I just skim pointless internet things. I need to break that bad habit. I've a pile of book "to read some day". I think I'll start tonight. (I hope.)
Yup nowadays we import the product not the slaves.
When you're "seeking revelation" there is the expectation that you'll work it out as best you can on your own. Revelation is not intended to be an easy/lazy shortcut--in my experience it's taken significant effort. But having the Holy Spirit communicate to you is different from coming to a conclusion on your own. If I get analytical about it, while receiving revelation has been a personal experience for me, there is (at least what feels like) an external force at play (that I attribute to the Holy Spirit) when it happens. From the outside looking in, I can understand this may cause concern for those who haven't experienced it--"you're listening to voices/feelings in your head!" But it's led me to "good" things (be a better person, live more honestly, have greater hope, have greater peace, repair a wrong I made, take on more responsibility, get off the couch and go help someone, hold to my principals, etc).

I know people may complain about hearing this, but if you're genuinely curious it's easiest to understand if you actually experience it for yourself. Carrying from the previously mentioned analogy, I can spend hours trying to communicate to you what salt tastes like, but I won't be able to do it justice. That doesn't mean I'm not willing to try. But if you are curious I'm happy to discuss further in a more private way. I've had my experiences that have led me to my beliefs, but they are experiences I only wish to share in environments where respect can be communicated/felt between myself and the person I'm sharing them with.

As someone who has lost loved ones due to cancer in recent years this on the surface at least is my books the most valuable example of 'AI'.
I am not a lawyer, but just on the surface this seems to me like it's the complete opposite of a canary. If the whole point is that you're continually posting a "no" and you suddenly stop, that makes sense legally because it seems strange that you could coerce someone to keep doing something and lying, as that is not the same thing as "disclosing" something. Like, if you wore a green shirt every day and suddenly started wearing red, it makes sense to me why legally it would be hard to force someone to keep wearing green shirts.

This is nothing like that, the commit message itself is literally disclosing the fact that they have received an enquiry.

Usually when considering safe air you'd take into account population density. The goal is to find a number that represents how many inhabitants are affected by pollution after all.

E.g. you weigh air measurement stations by the surrounding population density.

Only part of my answer was about people coming in from afar. The other, about there being nowhere to store bikes, as well as questionable quality of the biking infrastructure is about the city itself.

Edit: I'm actually saying this as someone who enjoys and actually does bike. When living in the city proper, I think there are very few routes for which the bike isn't the quickest method of transportation. For my commute, which is pretty much a best-case scenario (modern metro with few to no issues, goes in a fairly straight line, don't have to change lines, stations close to both home and the office) the bike is much faster: 20 instead of 30 minutes.
Why would they write such a critical piece of software in C# or Java for that matter what requires a whole runtime + VM installed.

The Eastern Mediterranean might be the (significant, underreported, under-remembered) Russian military presence in Syria. They have airbases, a naval base, they rotate and train their officers there, they constantly ship military equipment back and forth from the Black Sea ports via the Bosphorus to Syria, they train the Syrian army, they build human shield observation posts overlooking Israel.

What's unfathomable to me is how Israel (or Netanyahu?) keeps treating them as a frenemy.

Regex's predate perl quite substantially. Think grep and friends if nothing else.

Certainly making the perlre library available separate to perl encouraged its widespread use, and lots of others copied or were inspired by it.

"Popularized" doesn't seem like quite the right word though, I don't disagree with the point, but if I shout "Hey everyone let's write regex's" at the office people throw stationary at me, which is not true of other popular things!
tl;dr

In India, a government-run agency will now monitor and undertake fact-checking for government related matters on social media.

Tech companies that serve more than 5 million users in India will be required to “make reasonable efforts” to not display, store, transmit or otherwise share information that deceives or misleads users about matters pertaining to the government, the IT ministry said.

The Editors Guild of India legally challenged New Delhi from moving ahead with the proposal, stating the new law forces social media firms to welcome “a regime of self- interested censorship.”

Rajeev Chandrasekhar, Indian minister of state for IT, assured last year that the then-proposal wasn’t designed to censor journalism.
Yes absolutely. This is why I moved away. I live in London and take the tube semi regularly so offline content is non negotiable.

I don’t see how that debunks that debunking. That professor didn’t claim there is no gyroscopic effect, but that it isn’t necessary to ride a bicycle.

> This is the "counter steering" effect that we use in order to balance when riding a bike, and it's entirely due to gyroscopic motion.

If that’s true, gyroscopic motion is necessary to ride a bicycle.

See also http://www3.eng.cam.ac.uk/~hemh1/gyrobike.htm (with a few good links at the bottom for those who need more convincing), which says:

“It is almost certain that gyro effects are important at the initial stage of steering manoeuvres. […] My point is that gyroscopic effects are not needed to keep you from falling over when you are riding in a straight line. I am not saying anything about what happens when you actively wish to steer away from straight ahead.”

It also does some calculations that show how small the gyroscopic force is compared to the weight of (bicycle plus rider)

So the gyroscopic effect isn’t necessary to balance a bike, but likely helps in making turns.
The SSPLv1 has fatal flaws that were identified by the open source community during its review for OSI approval. Some of those flaws were attempted to be addressed in the SSPLv2 draft that was never finalized, which is an acknowledgment that the flaws exist.

There isn’t really any way for someone who wanted to offer software licensed under SSPLv1 to comply with the obligations of the license in good faith. This is what makes those obligations a “constructive restriction” [1].

The work was still on the behalf of AWS and their goal to make money and out compete Redis. it seems like this thread is forgetting that?

The alternate future seems to be a headline like "Redis shuts down and stops development" anyway, so how is this different?

What do you think Redis should do? Continue to let the cloud providers run them out of business? And all because Amazon was gracious enough to fund 1 employee working on it? I think this thread is missing that response.

Same [1]. Zoom being outsourced to the implementing platform is one major pain-point. That example from us has grown in size.

Having to bump the processing limit multiple times for mermaid to not refuse processing big diagrams, using touch zoom gestures on the laptop, because the diagram is so small, that browser zoom can't provide enough magnification, the list goes on.

We are clearly using the wrong tool for a diagram of this complexity, but the practicality of seeing commit changes in the diff, what property was changed by whom and instantly having the visual feedback in the Pull Request is just way too useful to switch to a "proper" tool.

Thank you. 17% cancer risk per 100g daily red meat is an alarming correlation. That’s what I was hoping to find out, so I appreciate it.

Is two pork steaks a day really an amazing amount? Usually it’s one (often none), but if I didn’t eat anything else, two is about how many I’d go through. I honestly had no clue it was far outside the norm… Interesting.

Ironically I’m half Jewish, so maybe there’s a genetic craving after thousands of years of pork denial.

Well, I guess I’ll downshift away from red meats as I push 40. Luckily my other vice is apples (one time I bought so many that the cashier was convinced we were making apple pies, but I told her it’s my standard weekly intake) so the transition won’t be too jarring. Cheers.
Average life expectancy was around 40 only because many died in infancy, which is itself unrelated to red meat consumption. If you lived past that stage, the average life expectancy was more around 70, the origin of the phrase ‘threescore years and ten’.
>But globally particle physics isn't the dominant actor budget wise: there was a fight in the US in the late 80's early 90's and they lost, which is why the Superconducting Super Colliders was cancelled. It's just not so obvious because applied fields usually don't need to build as big things as HEP and so don't need to concentrate the entire field in one experiment.

You're totally right about this. Especially at this point, a lot more money globally goes into other fields beyond fundamentals or particle physics, this might have really been localised to my alma mater.
This anecdotal info from my part but I regularly visit some close friends from school who now live in a semi-rural area.
My friends’ kids raise livestock like sheep for 4H and I joined them at their local 4H annual dinner where I met most of the families participating the town. I’d estimate that it was maybe 60% boys and 40% girls who were raising the livestock for the auctions. Felt very All-American.

Havok said "I rely on it for say navigation". While I think there are feature phones with GPS/mapping support, they are harder to find than a regular feature phone.

For navigation, it looks like TomTom sells a dedicated car GPS. If getting around town by walking is important, I wonder if a bike GPS would be a good substitute.

While paper maps are an option for some, I know there are people who have a very poor sense of direction. GPS-based maps made it possible to go places without dreading getting lost all the time.
