> The percentage of users that need this functionality is exceptionally low.

I am not sure about this -- I do know users who rely on post-cloning to update their sites. And I don't think it's unreasonable that this functionality should be fore.

But what I would say is, it's not a slam-dunk as a piece of generalised functionality, though it might be possible to implement it fairly completely for the core post types.

It would almost certainly need new core hooks. There are questions for example about who can clone whose posts -- do the editing and ownership mechanisms need updating, etc. And it might need reassessing in the Gutenberg era.

I've found post cloning plugins to be an adequate solution here.
What is how it works? How is it normal?

I posted a criticism of Go, I don't know what you mean by "this is how it normally works".
That is fair criticism, I expected for the website itself to be polarizing. At the end of the day because this is a tiny free app I made for fun, I am willing to throw some people off of the sake of the joke, and judging by a lot of the comments I have succeeded!

Overall, my assumption is that by the time you make it to the website, you'll already know what the app does, and most people will link to the App Store directly (which is why the store listing is much clearer on what the app is/does). if not, my second assumption is that people will scroll right past that giant block of text and go to the last line which does explain what the app is in one sentence, because there isn't much more to say about it in my opinion.

If I made money off of the app I'd have a widely different approach, but in this case all I get paid with is strangers' attention and it is _very_ funny to me to spend that attention on a useless 2AM irrelevant tirade.
Oh, I didn't notice the "Code and Data" link. That's helpful, thanks!
I had some sense there would be a difference in GDP there, I appreciate the figure. I forget that deficits are different when you owe the money to someone other than yourself.
> "Trickle-down economics" is not any kind of formal economic or political philosophy, it's a pejorative term designed to trivialise free market/laissez-faire economic policies.

So much simping for neofeudalism. "Trickle down economics" is not a pejorative for basic free market ideals, instead it's an accurate term for corporate welfare where large companies and the rich are showered with cash and tax deductions hoping they'll spend their wealth here.

btw, the real "pejorative" is from GHW Bush: "voodoo economics".
Perhaps compare this film on glass to other frosted glass methods which likely reduce the transmitted light far more.
Yes, I believe that this is due to how python lets you dynamically redefine functions even to violate lexical scoping. So in the author's example:

def f(x):
if x > 0:
return f(x-1)
return 0
# Here is where a compiler might assume that f(x) is tail recursive, and so do TCE
g = f
def f(x):
return x
g(5)

So according to the python standard, g(5) returns 4, since it calls the original f, but then the first recursive call will go to the new f. If f was TCE'd, then it would return 0, as the actual recursion would be eliminated, so it wouldn't matter that you've reassigned f to a new function.
No I pointed out a list of ways Finland was different from San Francisco so we should not naively assume data from there should generalize. It’s not cherry picked since it was one in a long list of ways the two are different.

Street homelessness in San Francisco has little to do with immigration, and family homelessness has little to do with illegal immigration (families from South America are largely claiming asylum through the legal process).
It is for sure the same Chris Ferrie, it's even in the foreword of the paper:

Yet in all that time I never thought to write, much less did I actually write, a pithy book called “What You Shouldn't Know About Quantum Computers.” My colleague Chris Ferrie did. He's the same guy who coauthored the surprise bestseller “Quantum Computing for Babies.” Now he's back, with something for those babies to read when they're slightly older.

I enjoy his kids' books and read almost all of them to my kids. They aren't "perfect" (whatever that means for a kids' book), but my kids love them and they start to wrap their brains around otherwise inaccessible topics for their age.

PayPal is the last of my "dirty internet habits" that I've been whittling down. I think this provides me with more than enough motivation to finally get rid of it entirely.
But your view is a 2D projection, so you are eliminating that degree of freedom. It's equivalent to forcing them all to fall to the floor. If they form an actual ring in 3D space, that is far less probable.
People who rent tend to move more often than people who own a house. Landlords will often take an apartment out of the rental pool for a few months to remodel it.
That looks good, thank you. And being owned by Proton give me more trust, the other suggested here https://addy.io/ not that much.
This should be a lot more obvious to the tech crowd than it is. I suppose it's the familiarity effect (see https://xkcd.com/2501/)--what's obvious to us isn't necessarily obvious to most people, and we heavily undercount the degree to which confusion-of-basic-things exist because it's second nature to us.
I don't know anything about this particular case, but I believe the term "black propaganda" (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_propaganda) is often used for the kind of situation you have in mind.

I've often wondered about that with some online interactions. Sometimes, a "defense" of P is so poorly argued that it seems almost intentional, as if designed to provoke the well-sourced, well-argued rebuttals that almost
invariably follow immediately.

Logically speaking, these rebuttals should not discredit the proposition P itself, only a particular argument for P (e.g. refuting the ontological proof of the existence of God does not thereby refute theism). But when such exchanges happen frequently enough they can give rise to the widespread impression that P has no smart, thoughful defenders, so the overall effect is similar.
I'm not sure it's accurate to say it's obscure given the first wiki result for "ATS" is the one being discussed.
That may be the case, my experience is with a limited number of record players.

I only commonly use a dual 1219, dual 1229, (both purchased for under $30), and a victor victrola from 1908 so my knowledge is severely limited despite having played with others it’s focused on those units.

I used to work (tangently, as a prosector) at one of the USA's "body farms" — it was really cool, but extremely off-puting/stinky.

When I first read about donated bodies being exploded, I thought "wow that's really fucking noble of the deceased," cause I knew how many intelligent researchers (and society!) benefitted from this "abhorrent stuff." I still believe it's beneficial (and not disrespectful), however horrid.

My only real gripe is that third-party hackers make all the money off the cadaver parts, and not the begrieved family..." people should also IMHO be paid for their blood donations.

In Japan, houses and apartments usually have at most one transparent window. The rest are heavily frosted. It took a while to adjust to that model but once I did I wished we did this more in the US. You get more light during the day, since clear windows don’t actually let in that much light unless the sun is shining directly in, then it’s usually too much light. You have absolute privacy — you can walk around buck naked without having to draw a curtain anywhere. And, unless you happen to be in the minority and have a killer view, frosted glass makes it less distracting to be indoors. Random stuff going on outside doesn’t steal your focus at all. The fact is that for most people there really is t much to look at out their windows — a crumbling street, the neighbor’s fence, the wall of the apartment building next door, a parking lot. But of course if you do happen to have a killer view, you can always have a clear window in that direction.

That's comingling a few things, because a lot of the privileges around holding a home as an asset don't extend to investment properties. E.g. the easy availability of competitive mortgages and individual tax breaks.

Personally, I think we should lean into that -- make single family homes completely unattractive as an investment.

Rental units are more debatable, because of the density argument, but I think we should probably disincentize it as an asset class too. In favor of offering townhomes for sale.
"Superalignment" is (was?) OpenAI's term, so it might be more accurate to say he is joining Anthropic to work on alignment.
Before you say "another reason to stop using Paypal", keep in mind that credit card companies routinely share purchase data with online advertising companies. This is so that Google and others can tie online impressions to brick-and-mortar purchases, among other things.

I use both iSh and iVim on my iPhone 8 and they both work well. Would not be interested in vscode on a mobile device but vi/vim work well.
Have been casually trying to figure out/install ssh on iSh recently but it’s not configured out of the box and low priority.

iVim and repl.it apps have the best mobile keyboard configuration I’ve used - have lost interest in replit since they were pushing ai so much though.

I haven't heard of any Orca success with either skeg-hung or long keel boats. A big "new" development in sailboat design is dropping the skeg on rudders for better sailing performance and lower cost even on blue-water sail boats. And also going with twin fin rudders, so more targets on a single boat for Orca's to play with. So faster and cheaper but far less safe.

I feel like I'm missing something here.

As I understand it, the Starlink network has a number of ground stations, and an active inter-satellite "mesh," thanks to laser links, which would allow it to route around the loss of one or more ground stations? (although obviously it requires at least one ground station to be live in order to access the non-Starlink-connected Internet)

The lasers began being integrated between 2020 and 2021, so it's likely SpaceX has made decent progress equipping their network with this capability, although I can't find the latest figures for the proportion of satellites that have lasers.

It sounds like there's something I'm missing if we can't do "Starlink from the satellites, so we don't rely on a specific ground station"

Could you help me understand the limitation?
Thank you, I guess I can't use that because I don't have iPhone/Mac.
I feel like this is drifting away from the point. Eugenics was a scientific movement with the aim of producing better humans through selective breeding and especially through involuntary culling and sterilization of humans with undesirable attributes.

This "science" is what WJB was reacting to. He thought, as many thinkers of the time did, that it was an inevitable application of evolution. Thus he thought evolution was an incorrect theory. He did not know enough (nor did his contemporaries) to realize that it was the logical chain from evolution to eugenics that was fundamentally flawed.

He was not reacting to CRISPR because it did not exist.

Eugenics, like phrenology, is a discredited field, and it seems like it isn't worth it to resurrect the word. Other attempts to selectively breed or cull humans have their own moral dimensions that may or may not be less appealing, and may or may not fail for the same reasons that eugenics fails.
Mmm, though I think these are two angular perspectives on the same idea, more than they are the same idea.

I feel "egregious" makes more sense for the idea of these bullshit contracts in the general case -- the idea that a lawyer wrote them or signed off on them.

"Draconian" is a really good fit for the experience and outcome for the individual, and for the process by which an individual found themselves signing.

Either way, I don't think there's any reason to minimise what is happening for the employee, or what it means in terms of characterising the conduct and culture of the ultimate unicorn. If stuff like this is allowed to slide, it's not good.

As good as REST and GraphQL seemed to me, I personally had much better experiences with RPC - specifically jsonrpc. I did spend a lot of time using protocols like jsonapi[1] and GraphQL in the past, but somehow always came to the conclusion that it is to heavyweight and framework driven.

Nowadays, I'm trying to keep things simple again and use jsonrpc. It's simple, versatile, portable and can even be used via WebSockets or raw socket protocols.

> More work on being easily used by/incorporated into applications written in other languages, would perhaps be a more impactful thing to work on.

That's basically a solved problem. For instance, RInside opens a C interface that can be called by any language that can call C functions, which is basically every language. It's efficient, too, because you're only passing pointers around. Here's an example in Ruby (disclaimer that I wrote it): https://github.com/eddelbuettel/rinside/blob/master/inst/exa...

I was not assigning blame. I was making a factual statement that San Francisco’s recent increase is family homelessness is largely due to bussing policies of Republican run border states. Asylum applicants are in the United States legally while their claims are processed, so the status of sanctuary city has nothing to do with the treatment of asylum applicants. Non-sanctuary cities would treat these applicants in the same way.

I suppose you're right and I think it's worrying that precisely these kinds of organizations still seem to rely on security through obscurity (to some extent, not solely).

Is there any credit card or banking company that doesn't do this?
One of the biggest legs up that I have is that my life has gone through extremely sharp swings. Sometimes it's easier to see a distortion if you can see something moving behind it, and when things move faster it's easier to see. When I went from "nowhere in life" to "working really hard at an exciting job where I was making rapid progress" but kept having approximately the same thoughts, that was a clue that those thoughts weren't really about my life in the first place. I'm a person who likes to think I'm logical, so my emotions like to cloak themselves in logic, but that's not what they're really about. And seeing my life go up and down over its long course has made it harder to feel like anything is "forever", which is a useful experiential defense against what depression wants to tell you.

While I've never found a medication that kept working, I did find one that worked temporarily, and it was a moment of profound realization for me. I was still me, my conscious mind worked the same way, I still liked the same things and had the same values, and my life was still a mess. But all of a sudden that constant scream of self-hate in my head went quiet. It taught me that another way to be was possible, showed me what the goal was, even if I didn't know how to get there yet, and shifted me from thinking of myself as morally bad and towards thinking of myself as just someone struggling with a painful condition. I genuinely did not realize until that point just how much hate I was enduring every day of my life, or that that wasn't a normal way to be. I remember making some simple mistake that, normally, I'd have felt bad about for many hours, but that day I just went "oh, that was dumb" and then didn't think about it anymore. I'd never been able to do that before. Nor had I previously understood that there was a difference between "I feel bad and my life is not what I want it to be" and "I'm a failure and deserve it".

To your last question: I haven't exactly practiced mindfulness in any structured conventional way, but I've certainly practiced trying to listen to my own emotions a little better. To treat them as a healthy and welcome part of myself and not as a thing to be argued with, and to understand that my power to control them is limited. If I'm afraid, I try to feel that fear, acknowledge it, and let it play itself out, rather than exhausting myself trying to hold it at bay. And then I can address it - "okay, if I screw up X, the worst that can happen is Y, and Y isn't that bad".

All that being said, I don't always win this fight. Sometimes I struggle, a lot. But even the losses are less damaging, because I can accept that it's OK that some days I'm not as productive or I don't feel as good. I often describe it as like sailing a boat. Sometimes the winds blow the right way, and there's a skill to catching those winds to move you forward. Sometimes the winds blow the wrong way, and you drop anchor, lower your sails, and hide below decks until the storm passes. Sure, you might wish you could just power through, but that's not the way the water works. You do what you can with what you have.
do Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the US, Britain, Ireland?

Yes they do. This is exactly the problem. Specifically in big cities. Zoning and nimby-ism holds back building. Even Toronto which builds a lot doesn’t build enough housing units to keep up with growth. And they only build as much as they do because the province is constantly overruling the city.

Every western major city is blocking building on any meaningful scale. This leaves cities at effectively net 0 increase in supply. In major US cities, new builds are more expensive to own due to changing property taxes. And California is just a huge F U to young people by making new owners have to pay higher taxes than the old ones.
OOP has been a critical part of real-life R for a long time, especially in complex implementations of classes of kernels, algorithms, and so on with S4, and more general-purpose with R6. Without these frameworks it would be difficult to implement them.

Personally I find it more expressive for general-purpose computation than Python. The "fs" library is much better at working with files and paths than Python "os" and the multiple other modules that can be needed to work with with typical filesystem operations -/ especially if you are working with more than one file at a time.

I would even say that each of the R object systems is more expressive and more flexible than the Python one. I suspect lazy evaluation is a part of this.
