That's not giving up in the sense it's being used here. Giving up would involve no longer attacking the problem, not switching tactics

There are lots of organizations with $1M and a desire to influence the population This can only be done with a sentiment that was, at least partially, already there. And may very well happen naturally eventually

> You got any idea why people hate the concept of nested functions in C? It breaks the model of c mapping to the hardware. Functions in C are just labels you jump to. Assuming you want to capture values from the environment you're d

The best book I've found on this subject is Moral Mazes. It's from about halfway through the process you describe. If you don't have time to read the whole thing, look for the section on "milking the plant"

The hardest language to learn is the second one. You can learn the first one by rote memorization. But to continue down that path requires remembering the product of all language features x syntaxes.

The goal is to update beliefs in all areas when they change in one spot. As a hypothetical, let's say you believe from prior experience that being mugged has a very high probability. Let's say 50% because it's easier. Let&#x2

They're talking about Bayesian priors. Basically prior assumptions about the likelihood of a subject. It's a common phrase in the ratsphere (and its descendants). Changing your mind is one outcome, but the implication is that it r

Only because they were using public airwaves. Cable was never regulated like that. The medium actually mattered in this case

That does seem like the biggest risk for Amazon. As a platform, they can probably get around counterfeit items being listed/sold, but sending one from a different seller seems it might open them up to legal risk if Amazon knows there&#

std::string isn't null terminated (or at least it isn't guaranteed to be, I don't think it's forbidden for an implementation to do that). That's why the c_str method exists, so you can get a pointer to a null termin

A lot of police interactions happen in public, and additionally when police are on duty and interacting with the public they have a reduced expectation of privacy. It's generally only recording private conversations that's illegal

The second one actually seems to be harder for some people. It requires separating the syntax from the semantics Agreed on all further ones, however

I think a lot of the frustration comes from people being asked to make an effort for something they know won't reduce the stigmatization.

You can treat spaceflight like software and work out the bugs by trial and error. Lord knows spacex did. You just can't put people on the vessel while you're doing that part

Sure, but to be consistent with the analogy, we're evoking the program from bash and it's been solved in several languages already. Trying it isn't exactly locking you into anything

This has been one of the reasons moving to go has been a godsend. Don't get me wrong, the project is absolutely insane. There's an api with a gpu layer for raster transformation. But the build process is still: go build [-ta

Low carb tortillas are absolutely packed with fiber (like 25-30 grams per burrito). A little chewy, but you get used to it. And you definitely aren't short of fiber if you also have a salad that day

Just start building a thing. Any thing. It doesn't really matter what. Any time you don't know how to do something, google it (or chat gpt mostly works these days).

Also if it's big enough that recursing will blow out your stack. Yes, you can throw the nodes on an array in the heap to allow tail recursion, but at that point you're going to be losing to a map with all but the biggest datasets,

Yeah, authoritarians love provisions like that. They abused a similar one in the US constitution (the commerce clause) to rule that growing wheat on your own land for personal consumption counted as "interstate commerce" (Wickard
