Yes. "Man" and "mankind" are already low key deprecated terms, because they reinforce a very strong historical bias towards male being the "default" sex. In this worldview, society is made of men, and women are accessories. Modern language prefers more egalitarian terms like "humans" and "humanity". The parent was arguing for "egalitarianism" in favor of so-called "reverse sexism" - a point of view I am very sympathetic with - but went out of their way to avoid contemporary sexually neutral terminology in favor of outdated and overtly sexist terminology. Pushback against the overwhelming backlog of casual male-dominating sexism that they deliberately exemplified is the entire reason for the "pushing the pendulum the other way" that they attack. Hence their point was immediately undermined.

Given the overtness of the rhetorical maneuver and the response of the poster, I have to believe it was intentional and possibly bait.
ChatGPT says it was only 5.7 billion in tax breaks. And it doesn’t seem to think it gets subsidies outside of that really, however it does of course get massive bloated US contracts. Airbus has had $22 billion in subsidies

Mithril seems like it can do something pretty similar: https://mithril.js.org/jsx.html

It can be sort of unintuitive how the concept of computability necessarily involves infinity.

For example: does there exist an algorithm that computes the Kolmogorov complexity, K(s), of string s for arbitrary s? It is well-known that the answer is "no" — there is no Turing machine that takes as input a string of arbitrary length and computes K(s). The proof is quite brief and involves the halting problem.

But if we ask a similar question: does there exist an algorithm that computes K(s) of string s for arbitrary string s with length < n? The answer is yes! And there exists such an algorithm for any value of n.

How is that possible? Think about it for a second, because the answer is going to disappoint you: simply create a Turing machine that consists of a giant lookup table for all 2^n possible strings that prints the value of K(s) for each one.

But wait, that's cheating! Maybe so, but any specific implementation of the algorithm has a finite description. And by definition, K(s) is also finite for all s. While it's true that I haven't provided any particular method for determining the value of K(s) for all 2^n strings in order to actually create the lookup table, that doesn't matter. Such an algorithm nevertheless exists, regardless of whether you can find it or prove that it does what you want it to.

So in a sense, finite questions about a finite number of things are sort of uninteresting from the perspective of computability, because you can always write a program that just prints the answer for all of those things (how quickly it does this is another matter). But when you extend the question to an infinite number of things, computability becomes much more interesting, because you don't know whether something finite can provide answers to questions about an infinite number of things.

Flipper zero is able to record and replay rolling codes. It turns out many car manufacturers handled the error condition of a key press being out of range so it will roll back the counter after a certain number of failures. The solution is to move to a signed challenge model.

Counterpoint: How about the government doesn't get involved to begin with?

Boeing (and Airbus) is a massive corporation with a large market position. Why do they need government subsidies at all? Is the business, or a specific product, not viable? If they aren't viable, why should the government continue to prop them up?
I have this working on a UEFI system. You select your Linux drive in the UEFI configuration (so the computer always boots into GRUB) and then GRUB will boot into Linux or Windows depending on the last saved option.
The case may be generic but the descriptions of the boards read to me that they are a custom (but open) design.
It's hard to say. Boeing has had 3.8x times the number of flights resulting in fatalities since 2010 than has Airbus, for example. Therefore, Airbus is safer, right? Well, hold on - we need to know the number of miles flown by each type of plane in that interval and scale these numbers appropriately.

In short, this is going to take some digging and I haven't had the time to do the serious digging this requires. A cursory search reveals that nobody else has done this kind of research either. While I'm sure this statement isn't true, it's not easy to find, either.

Depending on f. The God-existence function doesn't depend on its input.

You can also say, for example, let f: R->R be defined by f(x) = 1 if I'm a man, and f(x) = 2 if I'm a woman (or non-binary or anything else). Is the derivative of f zero? You don't know what the value is, but you can answer this question with "yes".
No. My boss kept me busy with other things. After the work my colleague had done, he was convinced that we weren't going to solve it, and the idea that I was going to get to work on it turned out to be kind of a white lie so the original engineer could mentally let go and get his sanity back. I didn't have many fresh ideas anyway.

In retrospect, there's an obvious suspect. It was early AWS days, and our deployments were controlled by sysadmins, who refused to give us any access to the infrastructure on security grounds. Our dev boxes were in our datacenter. They promised us the infrastructure we were running on was 100% reliable and consistent, but it probably wasn't.
I use M-x shell and variants in Emacs for almost all of my command line work. No problems with editing, as it is always Emacs on top. For true ncurses apps there are some limitations inside vterm or ansi term but even there, I can still use elisp and fix these problems if needed.

> Russians never had anything comparable

Russians had something comparable in 1990.

You could take a bike from St. Petersburg through Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, then enter Belarus, go over Ukraine, back into RSFSR, then bike through Sochi, Abkhazia AR, Georgia and into Armenia. Return home biking through Karabakh AR, Baku, Dagestan ASSR, and beyond.

Now you may feel the pain.

Russia had internal-ID based border crossing arrangement with Ukraine up and into 2014, but Ukraine circa 2000 has started talking about how it will cancel that arrangement and require passports and introduce visas and will banish Black Sea Fleet from Crimea, and did three coups against reasonably pro-Russian governments in Ukraine of various success, and now we have zero trust in such arrangements. See also: COVID. The only lands where you may be confident you are able to roam is one under that Russian tricolor flag.

So Russians will absolutely forfeit any kind of agreements and goodwill for having more land, because land is something definite and agreements can be canceled at any moment by the other party without further notice.

There were hopes that CIS will be EU-like commonwealth with USSR-like integration between parties without USSR-like command structure, but it quickly turned sour. Which showed to us the paramount importance of borders and where they're drawn.

> Never took a free semester in another country under the Erasmus program, never held Eurail pass or backpacked through Europe as if national borders didn't exist

Yeah, that is basic Russian experience of not having access to all that stuff. It does definitely highlight the idea that state borders are important, the access to the stuff beyond these borders is complicated and may be denied, so it totally makes sense to have as much useful stuff as possible within your own borders. States 101.

Russians did not care about borders that much in 1990 when you could cross any of these on your bike without noticing, but they definitely started to care a lot about borders in 1995 when they discovered that customs and border guards has now sprang up and the borders are major PITA. They have also started questioning why exactly these borders were drawn in the way they were.

AGPL doesn't prevent anyone from taking your code wholesale and hosting the entire thing. They didn't make any changes so they don't have to contribute anything back per AGPL. OP can make any part that interacts with it, such as billing and infrastructure code, closed source as they are the copyright holder and thus do not have to abide by AGPL or any license themselves. If they make every contributor sign a CLA, then even better.

Correct, the author did not describe a program that computes whether P = NP. He merely proved that such a program exists, by describing two programs, and showing that one of them must be the one that computes whether P = NP (we just don't know which one, but we at least know that it exists).

It is very hard to get guilty verdicts because prosecutors have to prove the culpability of any executive of any large corporation. In large organizations, executives are shielded by layers of bureaucracy along with legal counsel.

There is a way to get around this problem of proving culpability of individuals in large organizations. RICO was a way to go after mafia bosses. Thanks to the revolving door (of politicians, staffers of various committees, DOJ employees, prosecutors), it is impossible for the latter class to use RICO to go after any executive of any large company. Of course, one can say SBF was convicted; here, it was easy to find evidence to prosecute and convict SBF.

One thing I really don’t understand: why isn’t this trivially solvable with policing?

Just make car theft / break-ins a bad play game-theory wise: a few cars on the street are left with the police ready to pounce. You break in to a bait car, you get 2 years in jail.

Would take not that many resources, for not that long. Word would spread fast that breaking into cars is not “free” anymore.

Seems like this is what we do with every other crime: you don’t avoid speeding because you _know_ you’ll get caught, you avoid speeding because there’s a 1% chance of getting caught and being fined 1000x the benefit you derived from it.
A slight tangent, but still kind of relevant: given that we're lumbered with UEFI on x86-64, are there any active projects working on a better UEFI shell?

Every time I interact with it, I am struck by how awful it is, but the shell is just an EFI application so presumably one could replace it with something better written. Searching turns up EFI menus aplenty, but no one has (yet) taken a shot at a simpler, cleaner EFI shell from what I can see?
One more benefit to favor enums for booleans here.
When passing facts/intent solely through a generic true/false, and possible a single more or less well-named identifier, you have increased risk of multiple and differing interpretations of what the values mean:
Did 0 or 1 mean failure or success? did false mean that the file did not exist or that you are not allowed to access it?
By explicitly naming what your 'true' and 'false' cases mean, you _can_ lessen this risk. (Of course, you can still communicate badly both with booleans and with badly named enums.)
Also for return values for functions, you don't have an identifier name (not all acting functions share name with their "report-back").
Further, enums _may_ upgrade elegantly when you learn your boolean assumption had >2 cases.

I read about half of of submissions, I don't know if others also said all this already.
Yes, at the same number of electrons, the heavier atoms have a smaller volume, i.e. they are tinier, because their greater nuclear charge attracts the electrons closer to the nucleus.

Li+, Be++, B+++ are tinier than He, but they are ions, not neutral atoms. Neutral Li, Be, B are bigger than He, because they have an additional electron layer. Both neutral H and H- are bigger than He, because their one or two electrons are attracted less by a proton than by a He nucleus with double charge. H+ is just a bare proton, so it is orders of magnitude smaller than any other ion, but it is not a neutral atom.

So He is indeed the smallest neutral atom.

100% this. It only takes a few minutes of googling to see that this is religious mysticism wrapped up in modern parlance and feed to the soulless corporate elite. I give it as much weight as astrology or divining rods.

I think the idea is that if you bring-your-own register allocator, it's easy to configure it to use the right number of registers for a given target.

The "LIR representation" itself is machine independent, but a given stream of LIR instructions won't necessarily be portable. (If I'm understanding correctly)
caveat: In languages where enums silently accept random ints, they break this somewhat, sadly.

"Too big to fail" is the bullshit phrase used to sell privatizing profits while socializing failure. What made private profits OK was that both risk and failure were also born by the same private entity. It's time we got back to how regulated capitalism is supposed to work. Let the company face its own consequences and fail, or perhaps heal.

This article is too strong on vibes and lacks data beyond "there's a lot more money in private equity than there used to be."

Also, private equity includes a broad range of investors, from angels that fund unlikely-to-ever-be-profitable startups to leveraged buyout firms that take large companies private because they think they can do better than current management, to vulture funds that snap up bankrupt companies.

I'm not even clear what the author is talking about here.
They do receive a lot money through the funds, cheaper loans and investments, but it has to be compared to the money their counterparts earn by exploiting the much cheaper workforce, resources and energy prices in the global east. The minimum wages discussed in the article are at a 1:3 ratio. It's trivial to funnel some money back if you've managed to gain 3 foreign workers for the price of 1 domestic. There is a word for such phenomena and it's social dumping.
Decades ago, my partner used Google Voice for texting -- really handy, texts just showed up in the gmail inbox, and could be replied to from there. She didn't like cellphones, but usually carried one of the old "Kindle Keyboard" models with unlimited 3G data. The Kindle had simple web browser that could load the low-spec gmail interface, so in essence she had a fully functional SMS device, with no monthly charges.

Notification of incoming texts was the only problem. I jailbroke the thing and started trying to schedule network requests, thinking I'd add some kind of new message counter on the home screen. This proved hard. But it occurred to me that the best place for the counter would be right next to the Kindle's device name, at the top of the screen. And the device name could be updated from her Amazon account.

So I automated a web browser on the home server to log into Amazon and update the device name to "My Kindle (x)" where x was the number of unread Google Voice texts. The Kindle would update the name on the home screen in less than a minute. This worked for years!

(Eventually that Kindle was stolen. I wanted to update its name to something foul but the device disappeared from her account too quickly.)

I reckon it's probably just been a bit of a financial flop; it seemed to hinge on some notion that people would print a lot more once they were viewing it as 10p per page rather than £25 per cartridge but no one wants to have a pile of printed crap.
I'm sure there's loads of people on those £1 plans who don't print for months and HP just have to keep sending out new cartridges after leaving the printer unplugged for months. In the past they were probably getting £30+ out of those people for the two cartridges once a year.

I'll be ditching the printer once I'm expected to pay more anyway.
