> Censorship is preventing you from saying something.

That's exactly what happened. His channel was blocked by order of a judge. Censorship.

> Arresting you for committing a crime is not censorship.

Criminalizing any form of political idea absolutely is political censorship. The whole purpose of heavily punishing crimes is to prevent said crimes from occurring. Punishing certain political positions is therefore equivalent to preventing said political positions from being expressed.

If we're gonna stoop to this tyranny, then I'm gonna start enumerating a whole slew of equally harmful or even worse ideas for the tyrant's perusal. Let's start with the complete erasure of socialism and communism and everything related to it, and the incarceration of every single subversive person involved with it.

Why censor nazis but not these communists? Makes absolutely no sense. If they censor nazis but refuse to censor these socialists whose dictatorial regimes have genocided their own populations, I'm gonna start drawing some very uncomfortable conclusions about the way the world works.

> Germany is a democracy where you’ll land in jail for defending the creation of a nazi party. Is that censorship?

I'm sure everybody feels righteous about banning nazis. The problem is that banning nazis is unconstitutional here in Brazil. Nazis are just a political party, the national-socialist worker's party, ironically. And in Brazil, any and all forms of political censorship is prohibited.

I have no idea what the german constitution says. Maybe it is constitutional there.

From a moral standpoint, though, I see no reason to believe it's not censorship. Plenty of consumer media depicting nazism needs to be "adapted" in order to be published in Germany. That's China tier protection against harmful ideas as far as I'm concerned. I certainly consider it to be censorship. I have no idea whether german law considers it so.

> Is anyone actually proposing the abolition of private property and the seizure of the means of production by the proletariat?

Lula has literally recorded himself saying the state should seize people's inheritances and then determine "what people need to survive" so that it can give them exactly that.

These guys are socialists and communists, there is absolutely no doubt about it. I have no idea why I have to prove this every single time. They're pretty proud of being what they are.
I just think we'd fly to another city, or even internationally for 17 hours, without giving the radiation a second thought. It's just not rational to worry about 1/17 of that dose, once every 2 years, when there is apparently a benefit to oral health. If the dentist wanted to do it every week then that would be something to object to.
I see. Very nice. So it's a trade-off. I imagine the throughput of these light-weight compression suffers a little. In analytical workloads, it's common to do things like compute the mean of a vector or compute the gradient for this batch of data so random access appear less of an issue here.
Unfortunately with DDR5L speeds, they need to be embedded to keep signal stability, so you need to find at least a 16GB laptop which is STILL pretty gatekept with a higher chip like i7 so you have to pay $300 more for that extra 8GB, pulling a page from Apple. Luckily m.2 is still a thing and 99% of Windows still use it.

Boeing did $43B of stock buybacks in the 2010s. In practical terms those shares did exist before.

I don't know whether they retired the stock they bought back or put them back into the treasury, but in practice it's basically the same thing. Shares are fungible.
Is this worse than the standard python interpreter? Python startup time is a big reason I've moved a bunch of my personal utilities to Rust.
XMPP was supposed to be this. There was a boom in the early to mid-2010s (I worked at HipChat back then, and it was built on top of XMPP). IMO, it works well; it scales, but none of the commercial solutions picked up for whatever reason. In the end, as you say, proprietary protocols like WhatsApp or Slack won the market.

I've heard great things about Matrix. Peeble's founder, Eric, was building Beeper, a chat app with a similar purpose to what you describe (it recently got acquired by Wordpress). I believe that the core was built on top of Matrix, so you might be up to something there.
These are interesting from historical educational point of interest, but they rather don't have practical use for modern software development, do they?
>No other language does this, and it's not because they can't it's because it was a bad idea when it was created, it was still a bad idea in 1998, the only difference today is that C++ has a replacement.

Hindsight is 20/20, remember that. Streams are not that bad of an idea and have been working fine for decades. You haven't named a problem with it other than the fact the operators are used for other stuff in other contexts. But operator overloading is a feature of C++ so most operators, even the comma operator, can be something other than what you expect.

>The biggest problem is that today C++ doesn't have a way to implement this for your own types easily, Barry illustrates a comfortable way this could work in C++ 26 via reflection which on that issue closes the gap with Rust's #[derive(Debug)].

You can trivially implement input and output for your own types with streams.

You appear to be a Rust guy whose motive is to throw shade on C++ for things that are utterly banal and subjective issues.
Why do you need 150G of mail locally? and why did you think it sufficient to bug the absolute minimum spec available?

I don't think so. It is supplementation, though you could make the argument that it, too, should not be mandated (these things are subject to public consensus). And indeed, you can easily buy salt that isn't iodized. The same holds for vitamin D supplementation in milk. It, too, is avoidable (though I can't see why you would go out of your way to avoid either, in general).

I don't think you can construe fluoridation as supplementation, especially given that it is not really needed, especially under current circumstances. There are also mixed studies about the health effects of consuming fluoride (I mentioned intelligence studies, but fluorosis of the bones also comes to mind). Also, you must factor in the gravity of the health concern and the efficacy of the treatment. Fluoride doesn't seem to be justified in this regard. Iodine, and even vitamin D, I would argue, are much more justifiable, and as I wrote above, more avoidable.

I would say the principle we should be working from is that such intervention must be justifiable and proportionately so. You're in a bad place if your basic argument for something is "It's not harmful". That's not a reason to institute something. The burden of justification is on those who institute things.

The base models maybe, but the Pros have crazy OLEDs that almost have me drooling.

C and C++ are the bedrock of operating systems with the best performance and extensive support for all languages.

The only reason why iostreams are slow is because of its incompatible buffering scheme, and the fact that C and C++ need to stay in sync when linked together. And that brand of slow is still faster than other languages, except sometimes those that delegate i/o to pure C implementations.
I think my main point was about reducing all sugar, and reducing the intake of garbage carbs.

We whined about emoji combining and other nonsense since introduction. Who would listen though, now sanitize.

This idea isn’t crazy, yes. It is useful. But it was implemented in the wrong place. Unicode is neither RTF nor HTML. You can’t stuff everything text-related into it until it cracks. It had one job: unfuck codepages and cjk. Should have stopped when it was done, without all that klingon tolkien flags bs. Emojis could live as some escape sequence standard like they did before. And language specifics as sgml-like tags. We don’t have “just text” with all that either way, so what was the point of spoiling the only raw text standard with that? It became a format with binary tags, complex and unpredictable as hell.

> In the framekernel OS architecture, the entire OS resides in the same address space (like a monolithic kernel) and is required to be written in Rust. However, there's a twist---the kernel is partitioned in two halves ... the unprivileged Services must be written exclusively in safe Rust.

Unprivileged services can exploit known compiler bugs and do anything they want in safe Rust. How this affects their security model?
If you're only maintaining one version of the library that everything uses then what do you get from static linking? The reason people want static linking is to be able to use all different versions of the library, which is what causes the maintenance problem.

"I've concluded that this ability/inclination/something to do this deeper digging is one of the things I prize most in a developer."

Where have you been all my life? It seems most of teams I've been on value speed over future proofing bugs. The systems thinking approach is rare.

If you want to test for this, you can create a PR for a fake project. Make sure the project runs but has error, code smells, etc. Have a few things like they talk about in the article, like a message of being out of disk space but missing critical message/logging infrastructure to cover other scenarios. The best part is, you can use the same PR for all levels that you're hiring for by expecting senior to get X% of the bugs, mids to get X/2% and noobs to get X/4%.

A book on sleep and how important it is to learning and health:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Why_We_Sleep
"Walker spent four years writing the book, in which he asserts that sleep deprivation is linked to numerous fatal diseases, including dementia. ... The values of sleep and the consequences of sleep deprivation are also brought up in the book. One particular research conducted in the past, where people volunteered themselves to sleep for only six hours in a span of 10 nights, is brought up by Walker. This resulted in the volunteers being "cognitively impaired" along with their brains being heavily damaged, regardless of the three week eight-hour sleep schedule they received later."

I'm curious on the numbers on this. Every time the general topic comes up, avocados and bananas seem to come up and completely spurn the idea. Googling says 80+% of crops are rotated on a regular basis. Though, it is noted that "cover crops" are sub 10% of rotations. Which seem to be required for fruit farms.

At any rate, I'll be reading more on this some. I have real work I should be doing, after all. :D
Removing Bias from Devices and Diagnostics Can Save Lives
Yeah. I see the merit of using properly dosed psychoactive drugs for the appropriate length of time to help restore normative function in difficult cases (e.g., major anxiety that impedes the function of reason, or stubborn depression). However, recreational or "spiritual" drug use is a real red flag. Hallucinogenic drugs might feel like they're granting you insight, but if they're not restoring normative function, then this is pure woo and superstition, no different from treating dreams as some kind of prophetic source of knowledge. They only simulate transcendence, but like virtual reality, you haven't actually left your couch, and you're not actually getting in touch with reality.

I worry that drug use is a kind of escapism, and evasion of what's actually wrong. A person with a genuine purpose and meaning in life is generally not interested in drugs. Usually, it's boredom or misery that makes drugs look attractive to people, and there is plenty of boredom and misery in rich countries. We're materially better off than we've ever been, arguably, but focusing on material prosperity is terribly reductive. Our culture has reduced human beings to isolated, atomic, consumerist, materialist individuals. We've defined meaning out of existence metaphysically, abolishing human nature in the process. We believe in homo economicus. Of course, those are beliefs, but reality continues to exert its influence regardless of what we believe, and when denied, exacts its revenge, expressed in unhealthy and deformed behavior and impulses.

In a strange way, drugs are a way of preserving this status quo. It may feel like you've broken free of something, because drugs act on emotion and emotions can affect perception, but in reality, they just entrench or deepen the problem. But only for a time. Eventually, something will snap, and often, this is not a pretty state of affairs, both on the individual level, but also more broadly at the societal level. Unfortunately, as the saying goes, experience is an expensive school, but humanity will learn in no other.

Knowing when to go down the rabbit hole is probably more about experience/age than anything. I work with a very intelligent junior that is constantly going down rabbit holes. His heart is in the right spot but sometimes you just need to make things work/get things done.

I used to do it a lot too and I kind of had a "shit, I'm getting old" moment the other day when I was telling him something along the lines of "yeah, we could probably fix that deeper but it's going to take 6 weeks of meetings and 3 departments to approve this. Is that really what you want to spend your time on?"

Like you said, it's definitely a balancing act and the older I get, the less I care about "doing things the right way" when no one actually cares or will know.

I get paid to knock out tickets, so that's what I'm going to do. I'll let the juniors spin their wheels and burn mental CPU on the deep dives and I'm around to lend a hand when they need it.
I love this feature in Apple’s ecosystem so much. The newer iOS and iPadOS releases when autofilling a sign-up form even give an option to generate a new hide my email address.

CPython startup is pretty fast assuming you aren't importing heavy modules. Of course, any nontrivial program needs to do some imports.

Some examples:

0.01s cpython - with site disabled
0.04s pypy - with site disabled
0.04s cpython - import site and/or built-in modules
0.08s pypy - import site and/or built-in modules
0.13s cpython - import requests
0.31s pypy - import requests
0.31s cpython - import IPython
0.72s pypy - import IPython
1.1s cpython - run ipython nop
2.1s pypy - run ipython nop

(the last digit of all of these numbers often varies a little)

Since Python's startup is reasonably fast, it's possible to use it for interactive tools even with heavy imports by spawning a daemon the first time, and just forwarding the requests over a socket. This is mildly annoying but not particularly difficult.
You can do anything in C that you want to. Of course one can make v-tables and all of that, and even do inheritance.

But having the "class" keyword is nice. Having built in support for member functions is nice.

Sometimes a person just wants the simplicity of C++ 2003.

(In reality I was working on a project where our compiler only supported C++ 2003 and we had a UI library written in C++ 2003 and honestly pure C UI libraries kind of suck compared to just sprinkling in a bit of C++ sugar.)
You couldn't or wouldn't. but why have a read statement like cin>> which looks so nice and clean when you then have to go and check everything with flags and boolean casts on stateful objects.

I agree. It's lunacy. just be explicit and use functions or equivalent like literally every other language.
vi fanatics are a weird bunch.

Knowing how to use vi can be useful, but I absolutely cannot fathom how someone can prefer it over an actual IDE as their daily driver for writing code. What's especially disappointing is how often they say things like "I like vi because I can do X" and every time, without fail, X is something any reasonable IDE has been able to do for 10+ years.

No idea why they're so fascinated by using letter keys to move around rather than arrows, as if it takes significant effort to slide you hand 6 inches. You do it often enough and you can go back and forth without even looking.
I did do a cursory check. There is a broad consensus that fluoridation is at least not harmful, and that it has good dental outcomes. It is extremely well studied and we have decades of solid natural experiments because advanced nations are not in lockstep on this policy and so we have control cases.

The conversation does not need my opinion derived from surveying various Youtube channels for dissenting opinions. It, and most conversations surrounding complex technical scientific matters, does need our default position to be humble about what we actually bring to the table.
