> it's very reasonable to call anything that's lethal at 5g, to a human adult, as dangerous.

No it is not. It is sensational and intentionally inflammatory. It is especially damming coming from someone in his position.

Vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin B, iron, and caffeine are all deadly at that level. The first 4 are mandatory for life, shall we call them dangerous too? Or perhaps we have some nuance and acknowledge the co spirit oriel background (and other beliefs) of the people pushing the anti-fluoride message.
With his multiple endorsements of MAGA I fear his definition of "good" is severley warped. Is ensuring the poor don't die of preventable diseases good? Not to this guy.

Ursula’s work was one of my favorite reads in my teenage years. Earthsea opened me to the world of fantasy novels. The Left Hand of Darkness was a difficult read at the time, but I greatly appreciated it in the later years. I wished she had written more.
> Some subreddit are more dead than other but r/android got to be one of the worst.

Yeah, I'm not sure what exactly is going on with reddit but if dead-internet theory would hold anywhere, it seems to be there.

Besides, all the topic/subject subreddits seems moderated by people who hold a vested interest in the topic/subject, to the detriment of their community. I made a submission which went into details about the proprietary license that Meta's Llama is under, and what exactly that license means, and it was removed manually by the moderators of r/LocalLlama without any reasoning + they refuse to answer why it was removed even after trying to understand the rules of the subreddit better.

I'm guessing when the last "reddit purge" happened where they replaced a bunch of community moderators with employees from reddit, most of the platform was sold to companies to moderate their own spaces, unfortunately.
Dump Your Crypto 2.0
I released my piece Dump Your Crypto (the sequel) from the paywall. The first one nailed the top in the Crypto cycle in October 2021.

This one isn't going too bad either.
Your first sentence goes right with Elon's 'Compassion is bad'. That we must first come from a place of immorality/no compassion. Crazy talk.

And ah yes, working for the richest man on earth is now 'giving up your career'. What an Orwellian starting point to your argument. Together your two points are a friggin dystopia, you realize that right? The rich are sacrificing for the good of cutting the social contract/safety net of the poor, government must be cruel and immoral. Crazy talk.

They changed how they publish on doge.gov when people called out that their claims were bullshit on the largest denominated savings listed. Please explain why changing to release less information than they originally did because it was being used to make them accountable is actually better.

Other paper implementations have code. I realized the papers I implement using long-form latex math examples tend to do better.

So my pure coding implementation of Blankinship's algorithm : https://leetarxiv.substack.com/p/paper-implementation-blanki...

Performed much worse than my written implementations.

Let me know what you think
Yeah, though 'jcelerier brought up a case where "insecure" behavior is a feature, and the more "secure" design is directly incompatible with it. These cases of breakage can't easily be solved though better coding, and are not random mistakes - there's a fundamental incompatibility that needs to be resolved.
So long as you get a choice. I've been in 401k where the indexfund had a high expense ratio tripple the vanguard equivelent and the other options were worse. I've at least always had an index option - many don't even get that option.
This has gotta be some sort of modest overhead from calling into C memcmp that is avoided by using the native C# construct, right? There's no reason the two implementations shouldn't be doing essentially the same thing internally.

50% of voters. While one can make reasonable inferences about the non-voters not caring (or saying "a pox on both your houses!"), this is an important difference.

Then there's the regional differences, so Flagstaff is in Coconino, and Coconino was 58.98% Harris.

Then there's temporal differences, because approval ratings change: https://theconversation.com/three-graphs-that-show-whats-hap...

Unfortunately, this is likely to get worse, because the Democrats and Republicans appear to no longer be interested in sharing conversations with each other, and are building up increasingly negative caricatures of each other.

You usually have to install something before you can run a program on your computer, so installing uv doesn't seem that bad to me. I still wouldn't call this self-contained because when you run the program it downloads who knows what from the internet!

I did not know that! But I am a bit confused, since I don't really program in either language. Where exactly in the documentation could I read more about this? Or see more examples?

The language reference for @call[0] was quite unhelpful for my untrained eye.

Correct. Phones are getting bigger (but thinner) compared to older phones while portable consoles are getting bigger compared to older consoles.
Agree on Finalizers being crap. Do x with resources is shit too though because I don't want indentation hell. Well I guess you could solve it by introducing a do-x-with variant that doesn't open a new block but rather attaches to the surrounding one.
`/var/home/afidel/`

There are some pretty good desktop environments for Linux which emulate the Windows desktop, so that old Windows users would feel at home immediately.

But I've never seen them emulate the filesystem, which is what took most old Windows users the biggest effort to understand. And the Linux filesystem raises it to a new level of complexity, which makes every old Windows users want to go back to Windows immediately.

With "old" users I don't mean experienced users.

Is there some kind of overlay which does all this `C:\User\afidel\Desktop` mapping for those users?
Or you go to 70% solar and 30% gas?

If your example you've reduced generation from fossil fuels from 70% to 40% so still a win.

I assume you're still going on about nuclear. The problem with nuclear is that it doesn't make financial sense even if it can run at 100% of capacity for 100% of the time, it certainly can't cope with variable load - you can't scale nuclear to provide your peak amount, so you need to be able to top up with gas or battery, just like renewables need top up

> How would this even work? "Private equity" just means shares in non-public companies. How would private companies raise capital, which are often are done in the form of trading equity for cash?

I think we could start by eliminating the carried interest loophole. This would eliminate an artificial incentive to engage in PE “work” that really shouldn’t exist in the first place.

Of course, in the current environment with fraudsters being pardoned, that’s a fantasy.
they are talking about rules specifically set for some class retirement funds, which some 401k adopt. Those were set in place most to make sure syndicate run funds were playing nice.

There are, though. No need to act naive.

I support President Trump, but I don't support a third term and he wouldn't be able to pull it off (on the basis that a third term is not a good precedent).

The 22nd Amendment clearly states you can't be elected more than twice, not that you can't serve as President more than twice.

The earlier draft of the amendment was that you cannot serve as President more than twice. The "elected" language was intentional.
That's talking about 'glib' which is not the same as 'glibc'.

Glib is a library from the GTK project which offers utility functionality related to the GTK widget toolkit, while glibc is the GNU C Library.

Amusingly, these kinds of beyond-the-core libraries are the ones that have always caused problems for me, never actual core GNU C Library.
Just remeber short term and long term results are different. Riee out this wave and good companies come out on top even if punished today.

> I was involved in replacing Windows systems with Linux + Wine, because (mission-critical industrial) legacy software stopped working. No amount of tweaking could get it to work on modern Windows system. With Wine without a hitch, once all the required DLL files were tracked down.

I moved from Windows 11 to Linux for the same reason: I was using an old version of Office because it was faster than the included apps: the full Word started faster than Wordpad (it was even on par with Notepad!) The Outlook from an old Office used less ram and was more responsive than the one included with Windows!

When I got a new laptop, I had problems with the installation of each the old versions of Office I had around, and there were rumors old versions Office would be blocked.

I didn't want to take the risk, so I started my migration.

> While Windows is often claimed to be backwards compatible, in practice your mileage may vary

It was perfectly backwards compatible: Windows was working fine with very old versions of everything until some versions of Windows 11 started playing tricks (even with a Pro license)

I really loved Windows (and AutoHotKey and many other things), but now I'm happy with Linux.
Sure, i think the userspace restriction is also the reason, that nearly no 3rd-party hardware for Mac exist.

A term's utility comes from its ability to separate things into different categories. A definition of "container" that includes everything is therefore useless, because if everything a container, there is no information in the statement that something is a container.

In Bartosz's case he's probably making the precise point that we can abstract out to that point and that at a super, super high level of category theory, there isn't anything that isn't a container. However, that's a didactic point, not a general truth. In general we programmers generally do mean something by the word "container", and functors can indeed include things that are therefore not containers.

Moreover, I would say it's not what the author was thinking. The author is not operating on that super high level of category theory.
> Should a startup be forced to go public just to raise their series A?

Maybe? Going public just means that you have to report certain information about your financials to the SEC. I get why companies don't want to do that, but if VC investments are going to start being traded as part of 401k plans I'm not sure why the public shouldn't get to see that information. It seems feasible and reasonable to maintain an exception for what you might call "true" private equity, where specific people buy and sell specific companies rather than trading them in liquid markets.
If people getting under 2mg/L were getting harmed, doesn't it seem logical that people getting 0.7 mg/L would also get harmed, just by a smaller amount?

Yeah. My first computer I soldered the chips/resistors/capacitors/etc to the PCB... It had 1K of RAM, and the screen memory had to come out of that too...

Someone wrote chess for it.

[aside]
It was a Sinclair ZX-81, and I was 11 at the time. My parents bought the kit and a second-hand black & white TV with a dial-tuner (no pushbuttons to change the channel) as an Xmas present ...

I loved the TV, it was my TV when we only had one other in the house. I watched everything on that TV (even snooker and swore I could tell which ball was which)... After a couple of months, my dad started to get annoyed I'd not bothered to build the computer, so I was dispatched to the shed to build it.

A few days later (hey, I was in school), the thing worked and I was working my way through the (rather excellent) manual that came with it, getting to know it. One of the logic chapters had an example:

[P]RINT 1+1=2

(It was tokenised input, so you just pressed P and PRINT would come up in the built-in BASIC). Anyone here can see that the answer would be logical-true because 1+1 does equal 2, and indeed the computer printed "1" on the next line.

Anyway, flush with this futuristic knowledge, I set it all up using the family TV in the lounge, and we went through the same thing, just to prove to everyone that it worked...

[P]RINT 1+1=2

1

"I knew it. You've buggered it", said my dad in disgust as he got up and walked out the room. I tried to explain the (new to me) concept of logical truth to him and how the computer represented it, but I don't think he ever really believed me...

[/aside]

Anyway, that Sinclair ZX81 fundamentally changed my life. Computers and computing opened up a whole new world. Some 45 years later I'm about to retire from Apple as one of their most senior engineers, having been here for the last 20 years. Anyone with any Apple device is running some of the software I've written over the years which is kind of cool, but it's time to bow out.

The company claiming something you said, even out of context, could be interpreted as coming from the company. If you choose to disclose you work for a company, you become a spokesperson for that company unless you disclaim those words (even then, there are other considerations to make regardless of whose opinion is being expressed, because you linked yourself to the company.).

By putting that, they decrease the likelihood of reprocussion in the workplace for things said outside of the workplace.

You can still get in hot water for anything you say that ties back to you or the company regardless if you disclose who your employer is.

This is the grey-area that corporations typically carve out in a social-media policy so that employees can engage in discussions around their employer without being on behalf of their employer.

It's still a perilous position to put yourself in as an employee. Innocent and innocuous things can always be misunderstood or misinterpreted.

What happens when you use that disclaimer and are self-employed though?

The Republican party has been trying to squash inconvenient science for a long time.

One of the signature pieces of Gingrich's "Contract With America" in 1995 was the elimination of the Office of Technology Assessment. The office had the unfortunate duty to communicate well researched facts, and these facts contradicted conservative policy positions. (OTA: The planet is warming. R: No it's not. Exxon says it's not.) So the OTA had to go.

There are a nearly endless list of these things over the last 30 years.

No, you are wrong.

In-situ fault testing and isolation is an engineering principle that per pervasive across many domains. You want your auto manufacturer to rip anything related to tell you why it doesn't work?

You are just trying to defend a previous opinion by throwing out some acronyms to dress up your argument.

They should spin two boards, one with jtag and one without and then how would they debug the board they just removed the jtag on?

All systems are dynamic, all reliable dynamic systems use feedback, but you are arguing that engineers would rather remove those feedback mechanisms?

The fallacy meter just cracked.
The US government isn't forcing people to use fluoridated toothpaste. There's plenty of non-fluoridated toothpaste available if people want it.

Also: fluoride works topically, not when ingested. That implies we should try to deliver fluoride to teeth in a way that is focused on topical application (toothpaste), not ingestion (water supply).

Refuse the premise. Every single time. Point to the text. The ability to point to the text is a foundational reason why it was made a written constitution, the world’s first.

The idea a political party owns the Constitution, gets to define what it means contrary to the text, is as untruthful as 2+2≠4

It’s that basic.

Make them reject the Constitution outright. Some people associated with the regime have done exactly that. If it’s not wrong, why hide it? They admit their opposition to the Constitution.

If suspected criminal non-citizens are persons, the law says persons get due process. If the simplest reading of text can be set aside by mere opinion, on what basis can’t it be set aside for anybody at anytime based on an updated opinion, equally contrary to the law?

No one is safe at all.
Kristallnacht writ small.
Every project handles this differently, and because of the huge variety of environments and potential build complications in comparison to pretty much every other language, I think it would be very hard to get a supermajority of the C and C++ communities in agreement on a package manager.

That being said, there are package managers like vcpkg and conan that work just fine. They will just never be ubiquitous like pip or npm or cargo. Projects are going to continue to want to manage these sorts of issues themselves in a lot of circumstances.

For new projects on a supported platform, I'd recommend going ahead and just using vcpkg. But that's just my opinion. And there is code I work on where that wouldn't be possible. Plus some people just don't like the things that package managers tend to encourage.

> They can’t sit in a seat for 50 minutes. Students routinely get up during a 50 minute class, sometimes just 15 minutes in, and leave the classroom... I’ve even told them to plan ahead and pee before class, like you tell a small child before a road trip, but it has no effect.

These are adults. It sounds like you know they're not going to the bathroom, so reminding them of this (and treating them like children) is infantilizing and damages the relationship.

I would also mention, I also have a hard time sitting still for 50 minutes. One of my professors used the Pomodoro method in class -- after 25 minutes of lecture, he would stop, tell people to get up, stretch, walk around, chat, whatever, before starting up again in 5 minutes. It was awesome and showed huge respect for the students. I never missed a class of his.

The call to "memcmp" has overhead. It's an imported function which cannot be inlined, and the marshaller will automatically create pinned GC handles to the memory inside of the arrays as they are passed to the native code.

I wonder how it would compare if you passed actual pointers to "memcmp" instead of marshalled arrays. You'd use "fixed (byte *p = bytes) {" on each array first so that the pinning happens outside of the function call.
