Hmm, if we did that, here's what would happen. Kid 1 does something too repetitive. Kid 2: "badingo!" Kid 1 stops, but does something else too repetitive. Kid 2: "badingo!" Kid 1: "You're saying badingo to

12 is about recognizing when you're changing too quickly, 13 is about recognizing when you're changing too slowly. A lack of intellectual humility can impede you either way.

I would add some important evaluations. These are some less obvious, deeper aspects of intellectual humility: 10) I accept that someone with less experience may have better ideas than I have, even in my own field of expertise. 11) Even if I

I would love to read about those investigations. Do you have any pointers?

Most methods of flying things through Earth's lower atmosphere should apply well to Venus at 50 km: balloons, planes, helicopters, etc. To gather energy for rotors, maybe we could siphon heat from below to power a generator or other ty

We don't need to cool it down. We could float a platform about 49.5 km above the surface of Venus, where the temperature and pressure nearly match the earth at sea level. To launch a probe, we could simply drop it from the platform. Th

Weak refs are a way to work around reference counting cycles, but cyclic garbage collection is a more complete solution and it's a core feature of nearly every high level language. https://www.php.net/manual/en&#x2

A much more interesting attack is GPS spoofing. What is Amazon (and everyone else) doing to solve that? GPS spoofing is fairly easy using SDR. https://hackaday.com/2012/07/01/spoofing-gps-and-getting-you...

I suspect that it might be easy to port most code written in high level languages to Rust if you're willing to use "Rc" or "Arc" liberally. The drawback is Rc does not support cyclic garbage collection (AFAIK), so t

I see what you're saying, but I think we can do better. I would really like some simple way to limit what build scripts can do. For example, they shouldn't be able to read and write arbitrary files in my home directory, even thoug

In my area, there is a lot of competition among ISPs, but I have to talk to sales people on the phone in order to get the best price. The prices advertised online are much higher than what individual sales people are authorized to offer. It

What I find surprising is that Google is exposing themselves voluntarily to subpoenas [1]. The more info Google collects, the more courts will try to use Google records as evidence. Therefore, isn't it in Google's interest to coll

I remember that. Google ads were actively helpful! I clicked them because they were cool. Today, I run an ad blocker because most ads are manipulative again, I recognize I can be manipulated, and I have to do what I can to avoid it. I wonde

I am impressed with the way Stack Overflow is handling this, but I would appreciate details about how a bug in the development tier gave an attacker the ability to escalate their access in production. Does the development tier have producti

It might be enough to simply have a "raw" mode that bypasses most of the controller circuitry. That way data recovery companies could work their magic and we could choose to use more of the flash cells for error correction.

I agree. I bought a little relay board a few years ago to get started on a project for controlling line voltage, but then I started to think: - Will the board short if it happens to collect moisture, oil, dust, or lint? What if a bug is att

Thanks. Based on that definition of optimal, it sounds like Zig intends to be optimally predictable and performant. Other languages would define "optimality" differently: Python aims to optimize readability, Lisp aims to optimize

What is "optimality", described as one of the three primary goals of the language? Zig is intended to be "optimal" in what dimension?

You're correct: an oxymoron is a phrase that is seemingly self-contradictory. While "trust but verify" is an oxymoron, it is not a contradiction or paradox. A simpler oxymoron is "to make haste slowly". In that ph

If I understand the Nim manual correctly, there is no sharing of objects across threads. Instead, Nim assumes message passing. When you communicate between threads, Nim makes a deep copy of the message. In theory, that strategy could be ver

I'm curious, what more are you looking for? From the nim manual: "Each thread has its own (garbage collected) heap and sharing of memory is restricted to global variables. This helps to prevent race conditions. GC efficiency is im
