Panic is a built-in function that stops the ordinary flow of control and begins panicking... The process continues up the stack until all functions in the current goroutine have returned, at which point the program crashes.

--- end quote ---

This is far from orderly. For example, what happens to other goroutines?

I also like how golang docs literally describe using panics as poor man's exceptions:

--- start quote ---

For a real-world example of panic and recover, see the json package from the Go standard library. It encodes an interface with a set of recursive functions. If an error occurs when traversing the value, panic is called to unwind the stack to the top-level function call, which recovers from the panic and returns an appropriate error value

...

The convention in the Go libraries is that even when a package uses panic internally, its external API still presents explicit error return values.

Not exactly: it relies on future sources of oil (unconventional oil) having lower EROI (Energy return on investment) than historical oil reserves (conventional oil). Technological advancements could conceivably increase the EROI of some unconventional sources, but they mainly seem to make new lower EROI sources available.

On a more macro issue, it's also existential for the CCP because it shows the Chinese people (I'm talking the entire worldwide diaspora of people who call themselves Chinese) that there are indeed ways forward socially, culturally, technologically, economically, and most importantly, politically that are valuable to society that don't involve the CCP.

Hong Kong was a threat because it showed Chinese people directly that economic growth was possible without the CCP.

Anybody? I'm sure this is not the case.

> Nobody wants a tenure track job because their kids will go to college for free and give up other work opportunities for that carrot.

You conveniently left out the job for life part which is a huge part of why most professors want a TT job. There are other bonuses of course but "can't be fired" is a pretty sweet gig if you can get it. Hence the couple hundred applications for every open TT role.

> The last problem academia will have is not enough people applying to tenure track jobs.

Well we're talking about what would happen if there was no tenure track so I guess this is pedantically true. But I'm not saying we'll suddenly have open professorial roles with no applicants, I'm saying maybe without tenure as a carrot we'll go from 200 applicants for each job to something more reasonable like 30-50.
> Not sure how Zoroastrianism related to Nabateans

No relation suggested.

The article was more about how a religious government has been loosening its hold on "prehistory," and Zoroastrianism is about as "pre-history" as you can get.

I'm pretty sure that some of the named demons in Christianity sound a heck of a lot like gods in ZA.

The Taliban have also been doing their bit to erase "prehistory."

Time zone is usually not a problem, I've worked with clients from several states from the USA, Europe (Austria, Germany, Spain), and even Australia.

I'm open to full time or half-time opportunities.

I've been doing web dev for the past 20 years of my life. The past couple of years I worked with the PELT stack (Phoenix, Elixir, LiveView, and Tailwind CSS).

Lately I've been getting my hands into machine learning and LLMs using the Elixir ecosystem.

I'd love an opportunity doing AI engineering stuff. Hit me up and let's talk!
The two main enforcement mechanisms are economic sanctions and military aid, which even the EU has been involved with. Economic sanctions haven't had much impact but coupled with military aid has stopped Russian progress in the invasion. The problem is, with the US pulling out, EU big shoes to fill with military aid.

Ink composition and regulation might vary regionally. The original article mentions

> The most frequently used tattoo ink is black. Black ink typically contains soot products like carbon black, which is listed as possibly carcinogenic to humans (mainly based on studies of carbon black inhalation and risk of lung cancer) by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) [13]. Through the incomplete combustion used for carbon black production, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are formed as byproducts. One of the most dangerous of these is benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), which is classified as carcinogenic to humans by the IARC [14].

You really don't want benzo[a]pyrene floating around your system, it's a potent carcinogen that's been firmly established by many studies. Some papers focus on directly on PAHs and tattoos, for example this PLoS One 2014 paper: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24670978/

Has Android recently started prompting users to decide whether each individual app receives permissiin to access the ad tracking ID or not?
> You can treat panics as a big deal, and not necessarily kill the whole program. It's not mutually exclusive.

Yes it is mutually exclusive. Something that doesn't kill the program, aka a recoverable ERROR CONDITION should not cause a panic, that's not what panics exist for.

Something that causes a panic without using the `panic` keyword, like an out-of-bounds read, nil-derference, etc. is indicative of a serious problem that should be fixed before the program is allowed to run again.
American proxy wars propping up illegitimate governments that rule without the consent of the governed have caused problems. The US is supporting a legitimate government against an invading dictatorship. The broad brush you paint with would have had the US not support the allies with weapons in WW2 all the way through 1941.
There is a technique called salabrasion where the upper skin layers are rubbed off with a paste of salt. This doesn't remove the tattoo, but the ink is at least partially drawn up into the resulting scab during the healing process. It's probably not very safe, despite the use of salt, and removing skin like that over even a moderate area sounds brutal, but apparently it works well enough. And then, after one or more repetitions of the process, you are left with a highly visible scar, and maybe a faint tattoo, instead of just a tattoo.
He is not in a position to negotiate any "security agreement". The United States is unable to provide any real security agreement to a government that is quite obviously not interested in any real, lasting peace, one that sought repeatedly to drag us and Europe into WW3. Doing so is an open invitation to try and re-litigate the conflict (which the US/Nuland/USAID _created_ in 2013) a few years from now, this time with you and I in the trenches. "Soft" security guarantees, by establishing significant US interest in Ukraine's "minerals" (ephemeral though they may be), and therefore presence on the ground, was on the table, but Zelensky misread that as a robbery.

Emotional thinking and platitudes about "bullies" are not really applicable here. You have to think about the eventualities that we could be affected by if things go sideways, and with the current set of characters in Ukraine, they most definitely will, and soon.

Well technically the existing tax cuts already did blow a whole in the budget; its keeping them that's at play here. Its one of the reasons Trump was popular amongst his base - he cut taxes but didn't cut spending, so many people got a tax boost without any austerity. People can hand wave the spending as spurious Democrat led initiatives because there's no real discussion amongst the base about how to actually cover the tax losses.

The actual choices are one of: cut medicaid, cut medicare, cut military, cut social security, raise taxes. Tariffs would technically work to if they result in higher prices, but then they seem equivalent to raising taxes (very generally) so not sure if its worth breaking out.
> The consequences of a nuclear incident are very high, and can be more or less permanent for an area. It's a lot to ask for a technology to be absolutely resilient to mismanagement or even sabotage.

The West will continue to do two things.

One, secure the supply of chips. Just look at what happened with COVID coinciding with increased TSMC fab demand from Apple, NVidia, and AMD.

Two, prevent China from gaining the technology and expertise to make cutting edge chips. This is already happening and can be handled a number of different ways if China even wanted to try gaining this capability from Taiwan (debatable).

Two doesn't really require defending Taiwan. One is the USAs primary economic concern.

And I know this is hard to believe, but there are actually still people ideologically aligned with supporting democracies against invasion by fascist countries..

Western countries were full of communists before the liberal-tankie split. After ww2 the communists almost won the elections in Italy. It wasn't until the communists started pasting protesters with tanks that it became no longer socially acceptable to be a communist.

After the failure of world revolution only the subversion program remained. This was widely successful and is still ongoing.

The study's conclusion that tattoo ink causes cancer fails to convince due to major methodological flaws. The sample sizes for the most important analyses (matched twin pairs) were tiny, with fewer than 5 informative pairs for lymphoma. Meanwhile, known lymphoma risk factors like viral infections, alcohol consumption patterns, and occupational exposures weren't properly controlled for. What we're likely seeing is correlation driven by lifestyle clustering - people with tattoos often have different behavioral patterns that independently affect cancer risk, but the study's crude "ever/never" smoking measure and absence of other key controls can't disentangle these complex relationships.

I would encourage everyone who thinks "I want to apply AI to music" to look at the existing problems that creators have, talk to them, and work to bring new products to market instead of things that devalue their work.

"Generate a rock song" is not a problem that working musicians have. "Take this riff I recorded with whatever guitar I have in the studio and show me what it sounds like as a Les Paul through a 5150 or Strat through a AC30" is, though.
Their UKH 80 looks incredible.

Software is as critical as hardware: The UHK supports holding a key down to select a different keymap layer, then using the other hand to tap a key in that layer. While few people learn many-key chording, "one finger each hand" is every bit as easy as ordinary typing, with practice. This supports an n^2 expansion in effective keyboard reach. I'm surprised this isn't the norm for selecting Chinese/Japanese characters.

The question is: How well? I'm not entirely happy with my QMK firmware implementation. Tap-hold is the antithesis of n-key rollover; one needs to learn to properly nest key-down, key-up events. It's easy to switch from a clarinet (cleanly cover holes) to a saxophone (slap pads), but hard switching back. And we've all learned to type like we're on a saxophone, relying on n-key rollover to cover many sins.

I now use QMK firmware with Hasu controllers for multiple Leopold FC660C keyboards with Topre Silent 45g "rubber dome" key switches. After trying dozens of mechanical key switches, I found that nothing feels like a Topre switch.

And here's the kicker: The physical form factor doesn't matter so much if your fingers rarely go far from home row, which is what tap/hold facilitates.
That's not quite the incompleteness theorem, which is about sentences that are unprovable but nevertheless have a truth value.

I think the liar's paradox is of a different kind. It's a sentence that looks well-formed but arguably has no truth value. If you were to formalise human reasoning as a logical system, such sentences would not be definable in it.

Either way, for Penrose's argument to work you actually need the proof of Gödel's theorem to hold, not just the result.

Pretty much all of those forks are small volunteer projects that rely on upstream work by Mozilla, who are already struggling to keep up with MS, Google, and Apple.

When the talk about tariffs started I wondered why no one was doing something like this. With exporting there's a risk that people will find ways around it but infrastructure for power, oil, gas, etc takes years to build so it's not like the US has a viable short term alternative for some of these.

Twin studies can help control for things like genetics and environmental factors in childhood (exposures, socio-economic factors, etc). They can't control for lifestyle choices made by adults. So, if a person has tattoos, are they more likely to smoke? To have sun exposure? To drink heavily? All of these factors would need to be addressed to see how confounding they are to having a tattoo.

You could also look at tattoo coverage, as in how much of the body is covered in ink? Would a small tattoo on the shoulder have as much risk as a full back tattoo? There are a lot of extra confounders here that could be better explored, but it gets difficult to get a full dataset. However, given their survey data, they should have more analysis options with more time.

The lack of confounder analysis is a bit surprising, but perhaps the paper was long enough already.
That seems completely illegal.

That poll in isolation means nothing. A person who "does not trust Putin" but nevertheless subscribes to Russian propaganda is still doing his work.

I see plenty of people in social media (enough to be convinced that they aren't all bots) who appear to believe that continuing to support Ukraine with aid would bankrupt the US, would be equivalent in effect to fighting Iraq or Vietnam again, would lead to WW III, and so on and so forth. The conspiracy theories about Ukraine's leadership are elaborate as well. I imagine almost all these people would tell you they don't like Putin.
