> We are in DIRE fucking need of prominent, loud, and substantial public funding for reproducibility studies, and regulations around reporting on scientific discoveries/studies.

there's got to be a market for someone to create a new journal that only accepts/publishes research that has been independently reproduced at least a few times and has an actually meaningful peer review process and standards. It could serve as a repository for research that we can actually put some measure of faith in because right now companies can just pay for research with whatever results they want to see in a headline, and there's basically no accountability for scientists that put out garbage research.

Everyone seems to agree that "publish or perish" is a problem, but as long as people are forced to constantly put something out there it'd be nice to see more effort put into validating/invalidating prior research. It'd be better than just adding to the pile of never-replicated garbage that nobody can trust but everyone goes on to cite anyway.
The linked article showed the opposite for everything except coding though..?

Actual healthcare programmer here. Healthcare tech is not designed to employ more people, as stated by another comment. Healthcare tech is in fact designed conservatively by its nature, because lives are on the line. This tech needs to be on 24/7/365, or death might result. Furthermore, any move towards technological innovation gets incredibly bogged down with HIPAA regulation, data must stay private far more than most industries. Combine this with overall expensiveness reducing availability for tech innovation, and the fragmentation of the system into hundreds of companies by lack of universal health care like in UK or Europe, and boom: insane complexity, always-on requirements, very high privacy concerns, fragmentation and lack of inter-connection. It's an incredibly hard space, but incredibly rewarding to get Wins in this space too.
Isn't native C/C++?

I'd expect C to run the best due to it being compiled. JS is pretty quick, but we're talking a microcontroller, so any speed you can pickup by reducing computation cycles is a win.

Easiest/better is using what you already know as that'll provide the best speed to MVP. If it's too slow in Python/JS, but it seems like a useful thing, it's probably worth rolling up your sleeves and learning some C. At least enough to build a python library.

What you say about Jesus' redemption being essential to Christianity is true. But you ask, what forms can this redemption take? Catholics like myself believe that Mary was conceived without sin and remained sinless her whole life by cooperating with the graces God gave her at every moment. At what moment did Jesus' crucifixion "save" her? At the moment of her conception—which, mysteriously, occurs before the crucifixion in time. So Mary never fell, but was saved from falling from the very start, and continued to be saved every moment of her earthly life.

From her example it's no large leap to say that other rational animals might also have been saved precisely by being prevented from falling. Still Mary would retain the special privilege of being the Mother of God. But there is plenty of room in the hierarchy of being for other unfallen men below her.

As for hive minds and such, once we identify a will in the action of any set of material, that set of material should be recognized as a single person. The field of metaphysics will no doubt help us find the right times to apply the words "rational", "animal", "man", "human", etc. to any new and strange physical configurations we discover. The key will be finding the boundary between one single will and another, whether or not that corresponds to what we would call a "stable" "physical" boundary.

Particularly I don't think referring to a "notion of the self" helps the search for these things, since the Christian view is not that any animal's "notion of self" generates its intelligence, but that God Himself infuses intelligence where He wills, and any creature's "notion of self" at one time or another is merely a result, not the cause, of its intelligence—and I even think it's possible to have either one without the other.

If you've got the time and interest, check out Dr. Paul Thigpen's book Extraterrestrial Intelligence and the Catholic Faith, a fantastic overview of the debate over extraterrestrial life in the context of Christian history. The author's thesis is that the existence or nonexistence of extraterrestrial life—in any of a multitude of forms—poses no threat to the Christian, and particularly Catholic, faith.

In this case, the conclusion doesn't even quite support the hypothesis. The level of increase in prevalence from a generation ago is greater than the level of claimed reduction from early exposure today.

It's very possible that early exposure is beneficial. It makes sense to me. However, that does not explain why peanut allergies are so much higher now than a century ago. The under-diagnosis hypothesis does not make sense either, since the reactions are so severe.

Something is leading to exploding allergies. I can list other hypotheses, at least as strong, including:

- Travel and genetics (we co-evolve to local environments; the US is mostly immigrant)

- Parasites / hygiene hypothesis

- Environmental changes / new industrial-age pollutants

And, of course, there are things we don't know about and combination effects.

Footnote: Peanuts are native to South America. When the Spanish came, or they were introduced to Europe, we didn't see mass anaphylaxis either, at least as far as I know.

How would this handle Canadian guidelines for dealing with cents in cash, where you round to the nearest 5c [1]?

Amounts ending in 1 cent and 2 cents are rounded down to the nearest 10 cents;
Amounts ending in 3 cents and 4 cents are rounded up to the nearest 5 cents;
Amounts ending in 6 cents and 7 cents are rounded down to the nearest 5 cents;
Amounts ending in 8 cents and 9 cents are rounded up to the nearest 10 cents;
Amounts ending in 0 cent and 5 cents remain unchanged.

EDIT: I think if you send 12 cents,

send [CADCASH/2 12] ( source = @user1 destination = @user2 )

It should result in sending 10 cents.

"postings": [{"source": "user1",
"destination": "user2",
"amount": 10,
"asset": "CADCASH/2"}]

Can this happen?

I would love to see a blog post or more detail about how this implementation works and why it can beat rayon in some cases.
If you're talking about wireless-only mesh and using it as the only form of connectivity, sure, you're right. If it's just another way to connect then it is very practical for use in high-density urban areas, but highly unlikely to be widely implemented as ISPs are the main distributors of the most suitable node devices and they are the ones with the most to lose if mesh is easily available.
Does that mean that it has a library of devices so that it knows what SNMP stuff from them means? (I barely know how SNMP works).
Looks like DHH is getting his way

I'm on a laptop on an ipv6 only subnet at the moment which mostly does the job with dn64/nat64.

The only benefit of this is to increase familiarity with ipv6. I'm trying to push some colleagues to do an ipv6 only section of our network which has limited interconnect, but there's a lot of concern about devices that still don't support ipv6, and ultimately what's the business reason to do it compared with subnetting 10.0/8 and natting at your firewalls

Glad you found this useful. Let me know if you have specific features in mind.
I was raised in a Christian church. Spiritual bypass was alive and well. The notion of "carrying one's cross" was more about finding virtue in suffering than it was about actually gaining practical tools to navigate life's difficulties or learning how to process them in a psychologically healthy way.

> This isn't supposed to happen, and in fact can be considered sinful

And this highlights the problem with turning to religion as a primary solution for dealing with life's major emotional challenges. If you don't happen to find the "true" Christians, you're out of luck. There's a wide variety of opinions and interpretations.

Unfortunately not a single one of the dozen or so churches my family bounced around while I was growing up had an enlightened view of this.

And I still have fundamental problems with "bearing one's cross" (the "correct" way) in terms of the actual psychological benefit. It personalizes things that happen in life that need not be personalized. Instead of establishing a rational reason for acceptance that can actually bring psychological freedom, it attaches the idea that it's your lot in life to suffer these specific things, which is a deeply harmful idea psychologically in the long run.

e.g. if I do something that I later regret deeply, the church says "you fucked up, and now you must feel bad about it". A more reasonable mindset is to use the regret as a signal that change is needed. To choose how to live differently in the future based on that regret. And then to leave that regret behind since the past can't be undone.

US, Mexico, and Canada all use the same charging standards. I can today drive an EV from Mexico through the US to Canada and use their chargers. They all originally agreed on CCS1. Small adapters from NACS to CCS1 are entirely passive and exist already.
sum the amount of "you simply <x>" in this thread, then account for the fact that we're talking about running afoul of a regulation if you don't understand it, and you end up with a hassle. I'm not weighing in on whether or not it's bad, I'm just saying what I said. If you aren't accounting for a significant portion of revenue to justify it, you're going to get blocked because you represent a liability.
Is the Ti-84 still the gold standard for school calculators? I had an nSpire when I was in school - much higher resolution screen - but most everyone else had a ti-84 or 89. The nSpire was powerful enough to have hacks for it to run full Gameboy games. Many minutes were spent playing Tetris after an exam.

Also interesting that I almost never see any overlap between the Z80 TIs and the greater retrocomputing community. Probably because most retrocomputing enthusiasts are too old to ever have used one. The 82/83 is definitely old enough to qualify as a retrocomputer in it's own right.

What if the Flu isn't "just the Flu?" (2021)
Well, I'd probably do it, and I think I'd even be good at it. But that's because I have my own "extreme position": I live in Finland and do not want to move back to my home country the US at the current time. My contribution would have to be fully remote, barring any company-paid trips.

"Make 70% as much as FAANG and work twice as hard (from your cozy bedroom in your weird winter wonderland country)" would therefore be a pretty effective sell to me if I genuinely believed in the product. I can feel myself itching for 2-3 years of reckless professionalism, where I eat, sleep and breathe code.

But that's a weird situation. So I guess my general answer is, "Reasonable people in weird situations might want to work as founding engineers."

> No-one forced you to use all the complex bits in XML.

Just parsing XML alone is hugely painful, let alone implementing the rest of the stuff like XSLT, namespaces, validation, xpath, etc etc. Plus, once you've done this, you still need a natural way to map this into domain types, or you need to force people into a visitor pattern or some other awkward deserialization technique. JSON just requires a single JSONValue sum type.

XML has its place, but it'd have to be a pretty extreme case of needing rigor or a tree where I need to be able to peg arbitrary attributes onto the nodes in order to see it as attractive. Most APIs won't benefit from all of XML's features.

For instance I maintain a podcasting/rss feed library and XML (And more importantly, the way people publish invalid xml) makes me really wish they had gone with a different format in the day that was harder to fuck up.

It is kind of amazing it's legal to remove existing features and capabilities from hardware and software products.

I guess I can understand software built on the sinking sand of dependencies like OS and 3P frameworks. Yet it should carry a disclaimer and be priced accordingly. Perhaps mandatory refunds if it becomes useless within the 12 months after purchase.
We could use it to restore our own genome. The Y chromosome may become extinct in as little as 5Myr[1], such a record may allow our descendants to refresh it. We'd be avoiding a pretty common scifi trope (although the trope usually arises due to cloning).

I've found Mailgun's services to be pretty good. Admittedly I haven't tried many of the alternatives in recent years, but we use Mailgun to send a few hundred thousand transactional messages per month at my day job and they have been good.

Of course there is always a bottom 20% of the ivy league class. What differs is:

if u lower academic metrics to admit racially diverse students, these students will all be in bottom 20% unless university changes other factors.

To prevent bottom 20% from all being racially preffered students, the univ or professor has the choice of either lowering level of education to allow racial students to compete, just give them better scores for being racial, or just let them be the bottom 20% of class because they cant keep up with the other academic merit based students.

Some Ivy professors such as Amy Wax have discussed this, mentioning racially admitted students are always in bottom of class, the current process sets them up to fail rather than pushing them to state school where they might be top of class,racial students have never been in top of her classes, as expected the university is trying to revoke her tenure.

I think Snowden was bang on when in 2013 he warned us of a last chance to fight for some basic digital privacy rights. I think there was a cultural window there which has now closed.
It isn’t cognitive dissonance, the state does lots of things we’re not supposed to do. Like we’re not supposed to kill people, but they have whole departments built around the task.

Should the state do surveillance? Maybe some? Probably less? But the hypocrisy isn’t the problem, the overreach is.
It's an RDP client / management UI, I guess?
I mean, sure. And while we're at it pigs should fly.

Functional security means understanding your risks, and using privacy tools is a risk - in the sense that it does single you out in the current environment.

Your actual communications can be secure, but that doesn't stop a bad actor/government from picking you up and beating you with a wrench until you talk - if they get suspicious enough.

Just saying "everyone should use these tools!" is not actually a counter-argument. It's a fine long term goal, but it's not addressing the real risk that some folks might be in.
Shit like this is why I'll always tell people to use free-as-in-freedom software. Most DRM can only live inside blobs. I use Firefox without EME and nothing's broken. Sure, there are legit streaming sites that don't work. I consider those websites "damage" and work around them.

Don't do drugs, just say no. Don't do DRM either, just say no.

What is similar about a language that compiles to Javascript and a more efficient Javascript FFI?
In my maker space, guards are required. I have taken several trainings with people who use angle grinders professionally and apparently removing a guard is the normal professional practice for a lot of well-founded reasons.

This is one reason why I do not want to work in a trade like welding or fabrication professionally. At the same time it indicates that with care it's possible to follow the norms of a profession for long periods of time even if they often seem dangerous.

One thing I noticed when I was climbing a lot- the safer and more knowledgeable climbers I went out with used far less redundant equipment (fewer locking or doubled carbiners for instance). At the same time they were far picker about how the equipment was used- one partner would yell at folks to keep hands off the grigri (a belay device that is very common for folks to hold while using).

I get why different equipment calls for various "guard rails". At the same time, safety is in the usage and not the devices- forgetting that fact is dangerous in itself.
...With no reasoning at all?

Honestly, Bing is kicking Google's ass in the most basic search tasks these days, and I never thought I'd see that happen. Seeing Microsoft neglect and degrade their bread-and-butter OS while genuinely improving in search makes me feel like I woke up on the wrong side of the rabbit hole.

Some people at the top seriously need to be fired from Google. Working on advanced language models is all well and good, but not at the expense of maintaining the company's core competencies.
