I would desperately love to do something like this. Either as a participant or as an organizer. Honestly, if anyone wants help in my local area (denmark) or remote help organizing web stuff or part design/3d sculpting for 3d printers id be happy to donate some time.

This may seem odd but I don’t like knowing where countries are, it makes the world seem like a much larger more mysterious place. It’s cool to stumble across some country you never knew existed in some part of the world you barely thought about. Knowing where a country is in the world has little use these days, since transcending physical borders is pretty trivial. It’s mostly a useless fact or piece of trivia now.
And yet because Wolfram has a perpetual money machine called Mathematica, he’s got a huge megaphone to advocate for himself.

Wolfram primarily posts to his blog and occasionally publishes a book. He’s not exactly buying a marketing blitz with all of his money. Wolfram Research itself is primarily focused on other things too.

I don’t know what it is about Stephen Wolfram that drives people crazy. Yes, he’s self aggrandizing, but he’s hardly unique in that respect. Simply read past it or roll your eyes and move on. But apparently there are more than a few people who can’t help themselves (even this thread is an example).

If Swiss and white were the same thing, that would make a lot of sense. On the other hand if you were a Ukrainian refugee or something, learning Swiss-German as a second language and struggling to integrate into the company's Swiss culture, then it might feel extra-alienating if the company suggests you could join the Asian or Indian employee support groups to help you bridge the culture gap.

You literally went after someone just because they’re Israeli-could be my friend, coworker, or even me. If you single someone out like that, don’t be shocked when you get called out in return. And honestly, I’m not convinced my previous comment even counts as a real ad hominem-though sure, if it makes you feel better, let’s call it that.

But let's get one thing straight: calling the Arabs in Israel/Palestine "indigenous" while dismissing the Jewish people’s claim to that land is laughable. The very name "Jew" comes from Judea—this same strip of land-where Jewish history stretches back millennia. I’m not saying Arab families who lived there never had rights; of course, they deserve their own country too. But the idea that they’re the only "indigenous" group is just another cheap piece of propaganda, right up there with labeling the whole situation as "genocide" or "apartheid". People have moved in and out of Israel/Judea for centuries. Plenty of folks calling themselves Palestinian today came around the same time as the Zionists or later-just look at the family names that point to places like Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, and beyond Al-Baghdadi, Al-Masri (the Egyptian), Halabi (Haleb = Allepo, Syria), Hourani (from Houran in southern Syria), Tzurani (from Tyre in southern Lebanon), Hijazi (from the Hijaz province of the Arabian peninsula), Mughrabi (from the Maghreb). Hell, Arafat was born in Egypt.

My basic point is this: both sides do actually have claims. But one side made it pretty clear they weren’t interested in compromise and resorted to terror against civilians, starting way back in the ‘60s. Naturally, the other side fought back, and things escalated.

As for calling Israeli society "chauvinist", give me a break. Israel had a female prime minister in the ’70s, has had women on its Supreme Court since forever, and meanwhile the U.S. is still waiting on its first female president. So, yeah-save the grandstanding about "chauvinism". It’s not as black-and-white as you’re painting it, and if you’re going to throw punches, don’t whine when you get punched back.

Sami Tikkanen Explains Rust Language and Its Goals
It's now been about five years since I heard about the Rust programming language for the first time. It was when I was starting to write an operating system in C and the "Rust people" (as they seem to often refer to themselves, which should already be a red flag) told me that I should write it in Rust. (Later, they have several times told me to rewrite it in Rust.) Rust is "memory safe", which in the context of Rust means that the whole language is designed in such way that it is impossible to have memory-related bugs in programs that are written in Rust.

Depends. I lived in St Kilda where the beach faces east. The sunset / golden hour seem to start from 6pm to 9pm.
Yes, we switched metrics and logs from an Elastic stack to Prometheus/Thanos/Loki/Grafana about two years ago. On the logs side specifically, resource usage is WAY lower (300eps is like 1.5 cores and 4gb of memory), not to mention going from persistent volumes (disks) to blob storage / S3 is far cheaper and doesn't require any maintenance. Queries are slower, however, because Elastic pre-indexes while Loki searches on-demand, so it really comes down to query volume and your need for query performance (does it matter if your search takes 300ms vs 3s?). I've also found running Elastic yourself requires constant maintenance, while Loki has been very hands-off. Strongly recommend.
One example would be a CA that takes an exponential number of steps to emulate n steps of a Turing machine. That allows you to predict exponentially far into the future by running the TM machine instead.
> I believe Redux-like architectural patterns […] are a terrible choice. They impose functional programming paradigms onto a language and a framework that are not functional but heavily reliant on imperative code and state.

Ehh… Redux shipped on JS… which was less functional than Swift is. Redux state ships on JS objects and has to work around mutable JS collection objects to preserve "immutable" value semantics. And after all that trouble it was still a better choice for managing global mutable state.

First class value types and immutable semantics in Swift make the language a solid choice for a Redux style architecture.

> The primary issue with this approach is that it concentrates the entire application state within a single monolithic structure, resulting in tightly coupled code.

Ehh… not really. One big goal of Flux and Redux was to decouple state from views. Because transformations on state are dispatched using declarative action values on user events views no longer need to know the structure and organization of state to perform imperative logic.

> Moreover, any change to the data in such a structure can trigger view updates across the entire view hierarchy, even in views unrelated to the updated state components.

This is just an implementation detail and an optimization to ship. A "hello world" Redux style SwiftUI application might lead to everything recomputing `body`. A production quality Redux solution for SwiftUI would probably leverage Selectors to "scope" slices of state similar to ReduxJS. That would mean that view components then only listen for updates from their slice… not the complete state tree.

The Redux community shipped this optimization almost ten years ago… there's nothing stopping engineers in the Swift community from shipping a Redux solution with a similar optimization.

> Another problem arises from reducers, which introduce substantial boilerplate code typically implemented using numerous Swift switches. This code blatantly violates the Open-closed principle.

Ehh… I'm not sure I see why structuring state transformations as pure functions is a net negative. Go ahead and critique the idea of pure function state reducers… but then we also go back and discuss the critiques for the idea of modeling state as mutable object references. It's a tradeoff… and engineers that ship Redux in their products see why this is the correct tradeoff for them.

I'm finding this semantic rabbit hole surprisingly amusing.

The problem with that line of reasoning is that it implies that data handling practices can determine whether or not a given scheme is security through obscurity. But that doesn't fit the prototypical example where someone uses a super secret and utterly broken home rolled "encryption" algorithm. Nor does it fit the example of someone being careless with the key material for a well established algorithm.

The key defining characteristic of that example is that the security hinges on the secrecy of the blueprints themselves.

I think a case can also be made for a slightly more literal interpretation of the term where security depends on part of the design being different from the mainstream. For example running a niche OS making your systems less statistically likely to be targeted in the first place. In that case the secrecy of the blueprints no longer matters - it's the societal scale analogue of the former example.

I think the IPv6 example hinges on the semantic question of whether a network address is considered part of the blueprint or part of the input. In the ASLR analogue, the corresponding question is whether a function pointer is part of the blueprint or part of the input.
I don't think you understand how backwards it is.

Depends how much need there is for long term energy storage.

Off grid users have this problem currently when building solar+battery systems. They can pretty reasonably afford to install enough battery to cover a couple of cloudy days in winter, but if you think about two weeks of solid cloud cover the battery planner goes nuts. The solution is to install a sane amount of battery, enough for 2 to 3 cloudy days, and a small backup fuel generator for those few days a year when the solar falls short.

Does this solution scale to the grid? It involves a fuel plant that sits idle for the vast majority of the year which is not great for paying off its construction costs. It would almost certainly have to be subsidized by the ratepayers, but since they're otherwise getting almost free solar power maybe this can still work. It's also bad news for the fossil fuel extraction industry. There isn't much need to drill baby drill when you're only burning fuel for like two weeks out of the year.

There are general mentorship programs, too. Usually focused on career development. I was a part of the main one.
My personal theory is that the pork taboo may have emerged from this, with human greed being the catalyst.

I.e. when pig farming became a business, people probably started feeding pigs with literal garbage instead of proper animal feed, to make as much profit as possible. Without science and without the equivalents mechanisms of FDA/USDA, inspecting the produced meat for suitability would probably be nearly impossible. This would eventually lead to a series of public health incidents, which would be straightforward to trace to pork.

This would in turn led the clerics to label pork "unclean", in order to protect the public from such outbreaks. This was efficient since it doesn't need rigorous enforcement of the ban, and also would drive down the demand, thus the incentive to feed your pigs crap.
The word choice of “several” feels a bit mis-leading. Reminds me of the Big Bang Theory quote:

Guardian is a reputable, sound left-wing newspaper in the UK.

I'm not a fan, because I'm not in favour of State-run services, but they make what seems to me to be a sound point; that where ICE is private, but State funded, processing people takes the longest possible time because the longer the process takes, the more money they earn. This would also be why conditions are brutal and so inhumane; it's cheaper.

Charlie Munger I think wrote something like if you give people stupid incentives, you get stupid outcomes.

On the face of it, this looks like that, with the added complication the lunatics now running place would say this treatment is desirable.

Question then is how do you set up a State-funded privately run system to behave in the ways you do want, with rapid processing and humane treatment of people.

So just turn off support for external media, which could possibly be created on other platforms, and all old file systems? Legacy platforms, like modern Windows which still uses UCS-2 (or some half broken variant thereof)?

While I support the UTF-8 everywhere movement with every fiber of my body, that still sounds like a hard sell for all vintage computer enthusiasts, embedded developers, and anyone else, really.
> Wood toys are a bad example because they are meaningfully distinct from plastic toys

> And I'm not even convinced using wood toys has any advantage over plastic toys in terms of environmental impact or exposition to pollutants for the kids

I think you just argued both sides. :D

Regarding meats - Farm fresh meat is meaningfully distinct, it tastes better. You can get meat from different breeds of animals, heritage breeds or breeds that are not normally sold in the US but that are needed to replicate recipes from other countries.

For toys, there is an arguable environmental improvement buying wood toys, similar to buying nicer organic meats.

Lovevery, a fancy higher toy subscription service, has a lot of wood toys as part of their service, and they've been around since 2015.

Melissa and Doug has likewise been going strong for around 25 years, with at least 10 years of mainstream success.

Because of how they are gifted to new families, baby and toddler goods have a lifetime that is basically "until they fall apart".

As an example, my son has a playset from 1992! (Plastic for sure, but wow, durable thick plastic!)

He also has some wooden blocks from his grandmother! (I was a bit surprised to find other kids playing with identical blocks from the same 60+ year old set, but I guess I shouldn't have been.)
