I think it's just as simple as when you're already poor, having children doesn't fundamentally change things. Children don't actually cost that much when you have nothing much to give them anyway, and quickly turn into free labour if anything. If you're very lucky, they can get a job in the city/abroad and send money home. But for generations, having children and having them continue much the same, generation after generation, is just how is always been. It's often also required by religions, because religions that encourage children grow, and so it's self-reinforcing.

The problem is in modern "wealthy" society, everyone is allowed to work (to be clear I'm not saying that's not a problem in itself), and the Red Queen effect means that within a couple of generations¹, most couples are both in full-time work just to afford rent and the "basics" of a modern lifestyle. Children are now a huge opportunity cost, one that might cost you your home. Then, because the couple would have prospects to offer the child, the common human instinct is to invest everything in them or their future, spurred on by the social expectations and the Childhood Industrial Complex. Vitamins and private healthcare into expensive high chairs, a "safe" car and a top-line car seat, toys, computers, clothes, experiences, holidays, housing near good schools, tutoring, a degree etc. Plus the fairly modern sentiment that you should spend as much time as possible with the child, which may inhibit large families even for those who can financially afford them. The expectations around what a "minimally non-negligent parent" must provide children are so high that many people think "I quite literally cannot be sure to provide that, so I should not have children". Of course in the background, "don't have children if you can't afford them" has been the tabloid "anti-scrounger" slogan for at least a generation now, and religious adherence is way down in wealthy societies.

It's a hell of a catch, as Heller would say. Be poor and offer your children almost nothing material in life, and so have them, or be rich and be unable to offer your children far more in an absolute sense than the poor person could, but still far below what you would want to, and so forgo them.

¹ After a couple of generations of taking up the slack in the middle classes (e.g. go-getter Yuppies giving their children unthinkably luxurious childhoods with their new dual incomes, plus the productivity revolution initially paying out as worker wages), the Millennial generation was the first to really notice en masse that they really could not provide to their children what their parents provided to them. Certainly I can't give my children what my parents gave me, and I'm in roughly the same income decile.
> These days, folks don't come to C++ from C and are not used to such under-the-hood tricks.

It's funny to see that, since I'm used to folks coming to C++ from C and bemoaning that C is a much more straightforward language which doesn't engage in such under-the-hood tricks.

> Something akin to `std::optional` would have been great.

So, map.find(), which returns an iterator, which you can use to check for "presence" by comparing against map.end()? (Or if you actually want to insert an element in your map, map.insert() or, as of C++17, map.try_emplace().)

Again, the standard library is weird and confusing unless you've spent years staring into the abyss, and there are many ways of doing subtly different things.

C++ does not have distinct operators for map[key] vs map[key] = val. Languages like JS and Python do, which is why they can offer different behavior in those scenarios (in the former case, JS returns a placeholder value; Python will raise an exception). But, that's only really relevant in the context of single-dimensional maps.

Autovivification is rather rare today, but back in the early 90s when the STL first came about (prior to C++'s design-by-committee process, fwiw), what language was around for inspiration? Perl. If you don't have autovivification (or something like it), then map[i][j][k] = val becomes much more painful to write. (Maybe this is intended.) Workarounds in, say, Python are either to use a defaultdict (which has this exact same behavior of inserting elements upon referencing a key that isn't present!) or to use a tuple as your key (which doesn't allow you to readily extract slices of your dict).
Indeed. And now imagine an opinionated government controls the AI which helps formulate not only articles, blogs, etc, but even the predictive text software that facilitates writing a language very poorly suited to writing on a phone. And then imagine how much harder it will be to overthrow that government when even your own speech is subtly nudged to support the will of Big Brother. And there you have the fate of the Chinese people.
Just added this FAQ section to the README:

Because it is a FAQ, the major differences between this project and uutils are:

1. Wider scope: posixutils is far more ambitious than uutils from a breadth standpoint: posixutils will include bc, m4, c99 compiler, fort77 compiler, a cron daemon etc. uutils is far more limited in the scope of programs covered, mimicing GNU coreutils.

2. More minimalist: Each posixutils utility implementation is intentionally more minimalist, intending to avoid the bloat of supporting rarely-used, non-POSIX features. Our common denominator and baseline is the POSIX spec, then add non-POSIX features that users cannot live without.

3. Transportable: Each posixutils utility should look like normal Rust code, easily stand alone with little-or-no deps, and be used in another project. This project is MIT-licensed, not GPL licensed, to aid in that transportability goal.
That's clearly not what they're saying.
I’m using it for some weeks now (to replace another I forgot not compatible with latest pydantic) and I’m pretty satisfied! Simple but efficient, personally I don’t need more features but I expect it to work well and safely to do not impact fastapi which is running along.
Yes of course, hence my word 'openly'- I mean, at some point in the 90's designs started to get locked behind NDA's even just to get the docs. At the time of original manufacture (99/00?), if you were a company making cards, I assume the documentation of the Voodoo 4 was locked behind an OEM agreement?

And then at some point that information has leaked out onto the web? Curious to when and how that went down.

I fear that so many things now will never get to that point of seeing public light.
I can only encourage everyone to read it with enough attention.

Weeding out from this incredibly lengthy text all attempts of character killing of the first public debunker, lame claims such as "Dr.X thinks the report was generally correct" (with not a single point provided), unrelated statements such as that some of Mead's ideas maybe right because of completely different research by different people in different place), we are left with the fact that there's no, zero, none evidence to support factual correctness of Ms.Mead's Samoan research on sexual behavior. And to deal with it her supporters reiterate the same argument in different forms - that there's a mystical conspiracy of silence on the island, i.e. Mead was told truth, but somehow everyone else both before, and after was not. It's absolutely ridiculous as we are talking about modern times, and society numerous enough to have internal political divides, and by that time already well-connected with outside world including intermarrying, and people of varying origins living their whole lives there, not to forget it was never isolated within Oceania.

Oh, and there's also an argument that we shouldn't judge her because she "followed interpretative approach", and her report "is not falsifiable". This one can make sense, but it's just another way to say she was a fiction writer sold as a scientist.
Testing knowledge isn't necessarily racist itself but the way that the american system is set up with property taxing funding schools and redlining and other measures keeping "undesirables" in certain areas we have systemic oppression via substandard schooling which later impacts test scores
Let's also note that Before Voodoo3, 3dfx had other board partners.

Also should note that back then, AFAIR ATI and Matrox only sold full cards.

Nvidia also allowed, relatively, a lot of customization of their boards back then. My first GF2 had VIVO and even LCD shutter 3d glasses for a CRT.
It even rhymes ;-)
Amazing work. Thanks and kudos. I definitely tested some early stuff vs your bc.
Neanderthals and humans interbred 47k years ago for 7k years, research suggests
An equally likely explanation is that these doctors are simply grandstanding and using the opportunity to stoke some moral panic. This is one of the most divisive political issues in the country, and the link you posted would support the claim that “some doctors are passionately unhappy about the change”. But if you want to claim that it’s a “legal minefield” then you should be able to offer some proof.

As far as I know there have been zero controversial prosecutions resulting from this change, so all you’ve managed to provide is somebody’s speculation that it might turn into a legal hazard at some time in the future. Given how massively politicised this issue is, I think it would be pretty stupid to just accept people’s baseless speculations as fact.
Yes, I addressed it a bit further in the post

I was trying to explain how my 12 years old self saw that code

And I had no other resource to turn to at the time
I suspect the most interesting part of this is why, precisely:

If this is a known bug, incorrect setting of the throttle and subsequent disconnect of the auto throttle system, why is the aircraft still deemed airworthy while using the auto throttle during takeoff?

How was using defective equipment critical to flight safety if engaged not specifically prohibited in an addendum to the POH?

Because that would require additional training and be a bad look, that’s why, I suspect.

If a FAR23 (light) aircraft had a defective throttle cable that sometimes failed to effect the commanded throttle setting under certain conditions, it would be grounded immediately pending remedial service or, if impossible, at least placarding of the prohibited configuration and modification to the POH to specified prohibit that configuration, as well as implicating changes into training materials if the aircraft fell into the high performance category.

That Boeing is operating at a lower standard of flight safety than is typically required of SLA regulations is an indication of a deeply broken relationship with regulators.
The negative responses were, because Qualcomm wanted to remove the C extension from the application profiles.

Qualcomm prefered a strict 32-bit instruction set, with potentially 64 bit naturally aligned instructions. RISC-V is designed for 16, 32, 48, 64 bit instructions that are 16 bit aligned, and retroactively changing that wouldn't have been a good decision. Both sides of the argument agreed that both options are resonable and don't hinder high performance designs.

Qualcomm seems to have accepted this now, as they e.g. proposes 48 bit instructions with larger immediats.
I'm pretty sure you can sell software and still take zero responsibility in the software being correct.
I have been working on bioinformatics for many years now, and I see this question often asked by beginners, people that insist in using just a single language are crippling themselves and their work. You can and should learn both and more, programming languages are just tools, the more tools you have the better prepared you will be for solving any problems that arise.

The claim is made in the brief linked. I am not one of the authors of the brief linked.

Which proves nothing with respect to the matter of Doctors stating they've been unwilling to risk prosecution.
You can have plenty of fun making a closed source app though.
> You can call 19th century romance fiction as being about "status hierarchies" in the same sense you can say "There's only 3 types of stories, man verse man, man verse nature, man verse himself".

Have you read 19th-century romance fiction? The most notable examples in the genre are literally about status hierarchies: that's why they're interesting, that's why they were contemporary wish fulfilment. Take Pride and Prejudice (https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Pride_and_Prejudice_(1813)/Vo...):

⸻ ⁂ ⸻

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.

However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters.

"My dear Mr. Bennet," said his lady to him one day, "have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?"

Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.

"But it is," returned she; "for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it."

Mr. Bennet made no answer.

"Do not you want to know who has taken it?" cried his wife impatiently.

"You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it."

This was invitation enough.

"Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune from the north of England; that he came down on Monday in a chaise and four to see the place, and was so much delighted with it that he agreed with Mr. Morris immediately; that he is to take possession before Michaelmas, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of next week."

"What is his name?"

"Bingley."

"Is he married or single?"

"Oh! single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!"

⸻ ⁂ ⸻

Of course, there are plenty of 19th-century erotic novels, which I haven't read, but do not appear to be about status hierarchies. I guess I'm not counting those as romance novels. Maybe I should?

> I guess I'd push back at the idea what you call "status hierarchies" is less "rich" in terms of inner life.

(I entirely agree. The way I've been talking is completely unacceptable. However, I'm committed to the bit, now, so I'll backpedal academic-style.)

On an individual scale, yes, there is no particular reason to elevate one kind of idle pre-occupation over another. However, the diversity of the autistic population as a whole attains a level of richness that the allistic population does not possess. No citation is needed for this claim, since it is sufficiently-obvious, and my substitution of poetic language in the place of argument is a perfectly objective editorial decision. It's totally legit, everyone. You don't even need to check.

(I'm not being entirely faithful to the bit. The academic would, of course, deny your assertion outright: my assertion is (by virtue of being published first) self-evident common wisdom, whereas yours is, like, just your opinion.)
There are more good books than time to read. That is why reaching an audience is hard, you are not better than the other choices.

You said "Pumped hydro can't charge as fast as batteries".

This simply isn't true, there are dozens of pumped storage plants that can store energy faster than any grid battery that has been constructed to date. If you meant that the typical battery reaches capacity faster, that's not really a feature, it's a limitation.

The article of course is about how Mr Wain invented one (rather odd) image of cats in Victorian literature. The cats themselves seem to have remained much the same for millenia. Which in itself is interesting as dogs have hugely been changed from their wolf origins by selective breeding but cats seem to have mostly remained independent and done their own thing.

Good argument for the morality of ad blocking
Killing and/or maiming 120,000+ people, the majority who are civilians is not something that can be described as "preventing casualties".

There are obvious choices that the IDF and others involved have made that has led to greater and more consequentqal harm to both the environment and civilians, in general.

Not sure how you can describe the article as indicative given it is based on a peer-reviewed study. You appear to be relying on your own judgement and broad assumptions to discredit a report without any other basis.

Human speech isnt about reality. Speech, langauge, tokens, etc. are just scratchings on a wall. When we speak we infer the reality-orientation of people's intentions (and so on).

The strings 010101010111100101, 000010101010111010101, 120192019092109209102, etc. are all "about" the exactly the same scenario whereby different communities of speakers adopt different conventions for the meaning of the terms (indeed, whether pairs/tripples/etc. are terms).

This is not like a thermometer in a glass of water, the height of the mecury being determined by the temperature. Nothing about language is determined by reality. It is purely a highly lossly encoding scheme based on historically arbitary encoding conventions. It isn't a measure of reality in any sense.

Modelling this encoding scheme doesn't model anything about the world. It only appears to if you generate text according to this scheme.. and only to those who can decode it. Hieroglyphs likewise, scratches on clay, and everything else.

You are subject to the illusion of intentionality whereby your phenomenal experience of langauge is rendered immediately meaningful by your brain, ie., your decoding scheme is prior to the construction of your experience of the world. This is wholey absent from anything machines are processing.. whih are only the frequency relationships between tokenizations of syntax

After reading the whole thing, I am bit worried about all the logical leaps and this just being a weird mashup of ideas that don't make much sense.

That being said, as a person that is mildly on ASD spectrum I was bit intrigued by the hypothesis of higher lactate orinted energy production in autistics. It would match two of my lifelong problems, having strong exhaustion (food coma) after eating high carbs and having similar reaction to even short (5min) high-intensity workouts. I had to adapt by avoiding large doses of carbs and focusing more on resistance training with large pauses inbetween.

I am baffled how some of my friends can eat a mountain of white rice or workout hard for hour and be completely fine after.
Very cool stuff! I wrote something vaguely similar recently that displays images in the terminal using Unicode block elements and 24 bit ANSI colors, but I just assume two pixel per character. I support scaling and animated GIFs: https://github.com/panzi/ansi-img#readme

It is so poorly researched and, with such a weak seeker spirit, that I doubt they spent more than a weekend to it while playing video games.
I think you, like almost all the other commenters, are missing the point.

Of course investing in better long-term solutions would lead to better long-term solutions. But it would require more investment. You'd have to get so damn many people on board, especially in state government, to authorize projects like that, never mind all the bidding and constructing and cost overruns and what have you.

If you want to set up a Bitcoin mining facility to burn off excess energy, you need a well-ventilated room and a bunch of hardware. You don't even need the best of the best hardware, because the main purpose is burning off the energy, and the money earned from it is ancillary, so maybe saving money on the hardware cost and making less money than you could but more money than you're making now is worth the tradeoff.

This doesn't require government and voters to get involved. The utility company execs can make that decision, and then either keep the profits or reduce the local energy costs.

If the problem is extra energy, producing something people will pay you for with your extra energy is a viable solution, even if you think the people are stupid for wanting to buy that thing from you. And if you don't want to have to wait for the political process or deal with trying to build things by committee, bitcoin mining is one way to burn a lot of energy generating something people will pay you for, in a way you can turn on and off programmatically so you're only burning energy when you have extra energy you need to get rid of.

Honestly I don't have that much knowledge in industrial sites, but from what I understand, many industries are interested in directly getting triphased because that's what turning machines need in the end.

I guess if you need 11KV DC for your industrial site, you're likely going to need a transformer anyway, because nobody transports at such a low voltage.

As for medium voltage in general, U=RI. The reason TSOs try to push voltage as high as possible is because that reduces costly power losses, as well as cable temperature, which means you can transit more power without endangering the line and people around.
