Do you realize this ideia of poison alcohol was propaganda done by the government during prohibition, right?
We know how to distill from millenniums, and selling poisonous alcohol isn't a very sustainable business model...
I remember reading an article about the success of this campaign (was one of the first of this kinda). I'm mobile, but I'm sure someone can find a post a link.
I've though about using tree-sitter DSL to generate zsh completion.
Your project seems to be a better candidate for this. Tree-sitter DSL, with some extra annotations, could be used to generate the specification. With the added bonus of being a format that can provide syntax highlight on text editors (in commands in sh files).
If I not mistaken, tree-sitter also uses TS.
I only gave a quick look at fig (only use HN on mobile). Will have a better look when at the desktop.
I hate how complex it to write a decent zsh completion. It is not something you can realistic do in a weekend.
You can implement a simple one without much effort. But doing anything a bit more interesting need to dig into zle, and there is only a few resources available online.
For instance, last year there was a whole debacle at one of those top conferences because someone from nvidia, that was in the board of this conference, made (and posted on twitter!) a black list for people who said something that was not alligned with hers ideology. (I wonder what happened after the whole thing went quiet).
Yet, I do still think those conference, and their sponsors, have interest in only selecting the papers based on their content. I don't think you can get them to publish your papers so many time only with influence. Also, things like blind peer review exists to mitigate that (although, it favors writing quality over content).
Also. Politics isn't intrinsically evil. One of the great success of Einstein was spreading his idea. Argbly, others made more important achievement, yet didn't amass the same level of fame as him.
In my experience, people who are good at politics, usually persue others path. Doing so only to get publication is not the most rewarding thing for those kinda of people.
The comparison of power usage is often done in the context of external memory. When talking about in-chip memory it becames an apples to orange comparison.
For start, it doesn't make sense to power gate a SRAM. So they are always leaking power. And despite writes not being common, reads are. Most application with SRAM reads all the metadata in parallel looking for a match (and often the data too due timing constraints and increased size of control logic because the extra complexity). And reading uses power.
The parent post used the number of papers at the top conferences in their respectives fields.
It means they are unquestionably pushing the state of art fowards. Or the system is completely broken.
I see your point though. This is a recurrent discussion.
I think the change of paradigm was positive. Nowadays, papers are published in interactive and incremental way, instead of, doing a parallel with software engineering, with the waterfall methodology.
Publising the research incrementally allows more people to get involved, create more branches, and spot errors earlier.
In sofware developement, the change of the process lead to huge advanvements. I believe this is also true for academia.
> think also companies owning private prisons push anti-legalization propaganda. As they say, just follow the money...
There is way more propaganda in favor of legalization. And more money can be made selling cannabis than was ever made with prisional system.
I've read books, read papers about cannabis. There isnt enough information to make any claim weather legalization would cause a net positive or negative change in society.
Because of this, people usually goes into more philosophical argumentation. Which is fine.
But it is funny seeing people arguing that cannabis should be legalized because freedom. But are not OK with people using the same argument for not taking vaccines.
Good point. But doing two concurrenct desing would allow as backups for failures not in the telescope itself. For things like lauch, assembly, handling, etc.
If everything goes as planned, having two observatories sure would be appreciated by the scientific community.
Also, I assume, most the costs are associated with the project and setup of fabrication.
Most articles seems to be about VMS. I want to use cgroups and namespace to manange apps I use daily and that can be easily compromised.
Things like, neovim plugins, the terminal (kitty now edits the zshrc) etc.
I am aware of sandbox tools, like firejail. But wish there was more resources on how to manange local apps.
