There are some other important variables that differ between Brazil and Switzerland. Poverty, income inequalities, just to name a few. So it's hard to apply the same logic.

Also, most of the industrialized nations didn't adopt the same doctrine regarding drugs as the United States and Latin America -- another important factor.
I am not sure if this is sarcasm, but there is a huge trend of ascribing absolutely magical benefits to working out, eating clean, and taking cold showers.

It's a direct result of influencers selling a lifestyle. I work out, and have my entire life, but it definitely doesn't feel amazing - it's just a grind and you feel a bit better afterward.
depends how you slice it. "have to work" is kind of a vague way to define class membership. someone with a $500k net worth doesn't "have to work" if they're content with living on $20k/year or so. of course, if you insist on sending your children to private school and taking them to europe every year, this is going to be unworkable.

most people tend to think what they have isn't quite enough, twice as much would be just right, and anything more than that is excessive.
The NGAD Prototype is built upon some of the technology that the F-35 pioneered. The F-35 now is and has been used as an airframe to test more advanced technologies. Like distributed computing and autonomous technologies.

So, it's reasonable to say that NGAD may not be possible if it weren't for the F-35. I'd argue this is less about the F-35's shortcomings and more about the fact that we're seeing a dramatic change in air war-machine design, development, and theory.

In defense news below, you can see them speak (in meta) about how the NGAD Prototype was built. Some of those things were pioneered on the F-35.

Assuming your number of 1 cent/stream, and considering that 7$ out of the 10$ subscription pays for the music, that gives an average of 23 streams/day for a subscriber.

That's about 80 minutes of music per day, down to 50 minutes or less if you're sharing the subscription.
I think English is the lingua franca of science and computing pretty much anywhere now? Just as Latin was in the past? Newton didn't publish in English, but in Latin, as did most people of his day.

In Dutch, I would just say "de server is kapot" ("the server is broken"). There is no attempt to translate words like "server" to Dutch. You see the same in Indonesian (standard Indonesian, Bahasa, there are many Indonesian languages) where these kind of words are just copied ad-verbatim from either English or (for older words) Dutch. For many technical terms in the IT world there are no "Dutch words": just the English ones. The exceptions seem to be the ones where there are Dutch words that are close enough to the English ones ("function" → "functie", "variables" → "variabelen"). Both languages having similar Germanic roots with Latin/Greek influences helps I suppose.

And in those cases all the languages use the same Latin script, so it's easier to include loanwords and technical terms.

So it seems to me, unless I'm misunderstanding something, that it's at least partly an issue of script translations? Adopting the example someone else posted, why shouldn't "नमस्ते आप कैसे हैं? मेरा server ओली हूँ" be considered acceptable Hindi?
Thanks for answering, and good luck with your book!
I think that's the media you're consuming rather than any silence from the FBI etc.

https://www.fbi.gov/wanted/capitol-violence is a fairly comprehensive overview including:

- links to lists from the justice department of who has been charged with what crimes, and supporting documents.

- a list of photos from footage showing people the FBI are seeking further information about, along with a general category as to why (assault on media / assault of a federal officer).

- a whole list of press releases the FBI has put out about the investigation.
The multiples I cited are what I tend to observe in the industry generally. There aren't really any FANMAGs outside of London.
I’m talking about global dev salaries. Those London based devs can now easily get SV remote jobs and the matching salaries.

It’s not that SV salaries are unusually high, it’s that most places artificially depress dev salaries. I think we’ll see the elimination of layers of over paid management with all that money being captured by developers.
People get used to "Windows XP's style" upgrade cycle, I guess.
I think he's saying that if you completely ignore the "natural" desire of some the victims for at least some punishment you will just end up with said victims taking justice into their own hands. So if you are so lenient to the point where a lot of victims & society in general start disregarding the justice system because they think its unjust, you could just end up with a lot of extra judicial revenge.

In a way I kind of agree. Because while yes the victims shouldn't have a say in what sentence or punishment a perpetrator gets, taking it to the extreme and just completely disregarding the other party's grievances is probably dangerous and undermines the justice system. If you get a lot of people feeling that there is no justice to be had from the system, you end up with a super dangerous situation & I know how deeply that feeling can erode the social fabric since it happened in my home country.
They set the bail at the preliminary hearing, then you can pay it if you want to be free. If you don't pay it, then your trial will be expedited, but you will wait in jail until then.

Sometimes 60 days is too fast for the lawyers so the defense and prosecution might request a continuance to test evidence, find witnesses, etc.

I don't think probation officers are really the bottle neck. Judge availability would be the main point of pain. The vast majority of cases end in a plea deal without a trial. This already involves layers, prosecutors, probation officers, etc. But it doesn't usually involve a judge, except maybe for approval. But that's still at lot less time than a trial would be.
This study strongly hints at the effect of minimum wage prohibition mostly manifesting as reduced employment growth, instead of increased unemployment, due to the mobility of labor reducing the measurability of the latter:

In the absence of definitive evidence either way, it would be prudent to err on the side of basic economic theory, that says mandatory price floors create economic deadweight losses.
> Foreclosed properties, condemned buildings and homes being renovated are all included in this category. While it’s possible that some homes in this category are indeed being kept off-market by an owner holding out for a larger payout down the line, given the breadth of this category it’s implausible that this category represents any meaningful part of that total number.

What you’re describing is exactly the myth the article is trying to dispel. It’s a common idea and I feel similar to you, but the reality is we need more housing.
What a weird non sequitur.

From the article:

Well, I can’t speak for anyone but myself on this. I know people who are satisfied with their benzos or their SSRIs for chronic anxiety management. For me, like I said, treating my ADHD has been the best. It’s not perfect. I did have a brief period bringing klonopin back into the mix during a high stress period of my life. But that was more acute/as needed.

For me, finding the right stimulant (first ritalin then vyvanse), then the right dosage (currently 60mg per day), then recognizing I need a little more help when the XR wears off (+10mg adderall as needed) has been the best long term management I’ve ever had.
> I guess the answer to both questions is that most TCO opportunities are within a single DLL, so the compiler is free to create non-exported versions of functions with custom calling conventions. Is this right?

LLVM mostly follows this path: it allows full TCO only when using the “fastcc” (i.e. “whatever LLVM feels like generating”) and some calling conventions from functional languages (like GHC) that have a specific carve out for it.

Frontend has very few to do with HTML and CSS nowadays.
It all has to do with framework choice, the build toolchain, the unit-testing of the front, the server-side rendering vs the client-side, the architectural layers (or bricks) to use on the client-side, SEO, performance, CI/CD, browser compatibility, components lifecycle (yumm, library versions upgrade!).

A counter-counter argument is that implementing a language that is semantically distant from assembly language, over top of assembly language, counts as "from scratch", whereas skinning a language over with an interpreter (which doesn't even scan tokens, collect garbage or perform any I/O) doesn't count as "from scratch".

> to prevent websites from breaking

Nope, nothing will break. I am blocking GA in the following ways: NoScript, PrivacyBadger, Windows HOSTS file. I see the thing being called, and nothing gets through, and websites work properly.

Edit: the bugzilla article mentions both GA and googletagmanager.com, which (both) I have been successfully blocking in the above ways for many years. I never had any website not working because of those two pieces.
I had a CVT car, and that never gave me any problems (over 180K kms).

My newer car has a traditional automatic - the only reason I didn't go for a CVT is simply that the model I have doesn't come with that option (otherwise I would have opted for it).
All math operations on your ordinary everyday cpus are equally non–atomic. They read a value, potentially from memory or from cache, operate on it, and leave the result in a register. Then your program probably has to store the result somewhere, or perform more operations on the result. This is why the memcached software has an explicit locking mechanism; any operation on a cached value involves taking a lock, doing the operation, storing the result, and then releasing the lock.

It is largely because unlike Borland's products, nowadays there isn't a single source that provides everything and tools are really made up from barely (if at all) related components.

In some cases where tools are made up for each other you have better integration - e.g. Free Pascal's own IDE does have online help like Turbo Pascal (though a downside is that because the help is in CHM, i.e. HTML, the formatting in the text mode IDE sometimes doesn't look that good - but the documentation is there anyway).
I've always wanted to write a book. I have helped write 3 different deeply technical books (and one solutions manual), but I wanted something fun, interesting, and valuable.

So I wrote "Everyday Data Science" which is a collection of stories, tutorials, jokes, math, and code all written to inspire people to analyze their personal data.

In general, I was also inspired by the challenge to "make $100 online" which I have done in the past month since launching. It was daunting, and I felt quite vulnerable, but overall I'm pleased with what I've made.

I wrote up this quick post to give you an idea of the process I followed to write the book, and some of the content.

I'd love to know your thoughts and am open to (nice) feedback :)
I didn't know about the Universe Sampler. Great suggestion!
I agree I was wrong, there's another reply to me that's a lot more coherent about what I was going for. I do think it's important to still understand and confront the problems of whiteness as an identity head on.

> Being in denial about how divisive these racially-connoted messages are is just not productive.

I don't think it's denial, I think it's strategic choice made in the full knowledge of the offense and discomfort it might provoke. There's definitely part of messages like "whiteness is racist" or "be less white" that ii ... intended to generate offense & reflection and is a valid way of getting the work done. Being polite and working within the status quo can be seen to upload the status quo, and hasn't seemed to work at actually making chaneg. Sometimes to cut through people choose to say very challenging things. I'm personally fine with that, and even if I'm not I don't think it's up to me to tell the people affected by white supremacist ideas how to go about their business.
As early as it was, their construction was probably sturdy. It’s only now that we calculate material margin at 110% instead of x5 or x10. The B52 is so stretched it famously leaks fuel at ground level, the operating guideline says “6 droplets per minute” to 20 droplets per minute for a dozen points of the aircraft (mostly around the wings).

Oh, modern consoles and their push for digital distribution combined with effectively unbreakable DRM. Some games are available on physical media, but some are not. Good luck preserving those that are not when those servers go down.
SOHO Bricks was also included http://sohobricks.com/index.html in the acquisition.

Not sure they will be interested in keeping that alive. Additionally I am guessing they will remove BrickArms content from Bricklink at some point.

Will this have any impact on BrickLink's independence?

> Yes, and no. BrickLink will no longer be an "unofficial" marketplace and will need to be conscious of the fact that it is representing the LEGO brand in a much more direct way than before. However, BrickLink's target audience (AFOLs) will remain unchanged, and the BrickLink brand itself will remain intact.

You’re wrong. Every country would have 99% labor participation rate if you count those. It’s not meaningful

The fact is only 20% of women are not getting paid for their labor. It’s a sign of huge lack of development progress
Yes, these traits used to be quite undesirable. It’s a shame our society turns a blind eye to them now.
Or people resort to prayer when there's no other hope.
Thanks for elaborating by the way, this explains a lot of the dissonance I (subjectively) see daily on HN.

However, this is not totally in sync with how those sides are presented to the public, or the international public in any case. When I turn on Fox News, for example, the ideas there are absolutely what I would identify as conservative. Supporting legislative and social measures that disadvantage gay and poor people, for example. Espousing religion over science. How could such an agenda be considered liberal, especially since they themselves use the word "liberal" as a swear word? This looks perfectly conservative to me, and I'm still really confused because you described these people as functionally liberal.

> what's the historically "conservative" answer about internet issues, for instance?

I'm trying not to refer to American conservatism, but to the concept in its original meaning when I say this:

The internet is new and potentially dangerous to traditional values, so one would expect the attitude towards it to be very negative. That's the default conservative stance, right, to keep the social status quo or regress it where possible.

The internet is a relatively new phenomenon that threatens to change society, it's a level playing field where ordinary people get access to untold quantities of information practically without oversight. If I had to speculate on a default conservative stance to it, without any prior knowledge, I'd wager they'd be trying to outlaw the free aspects of the internet, ridicule its potential, and generally try to convert it so it can serve traditional power structures. And, now looking at what's happening in real life, that somewhat naive expectation turns out to be a pretty good description of what's actually going on.

> the laissez-faire amongst us generally end up on the conservative side when forced to choose sides on the grounds that conservatism in the US at least tolerates the ideas of laissez-faire, whereas liberalism at this point openly mocks it

Can you give an example where that's happening? Looking in from the outside it seems that US conservatives are the driving force behind a lot of legislation with the explicit goal of limiting freedoms and social stability. Granted, both sides seem to agree on much of the more egregious stuff like mass surveillance and terrorism theater - but from where I stand at least I don't see liberals trying to legislate against gay people. It also looks to me like it's the American conservatives who are more in favor of expanding already sweeping police powers.

I mean, sure, in the end it doesn't matter that much to foreigners like me. But it's still puzzling.
>Does anyone get hired?
Yes. I did. I attended Nashville Software School, a full-time 6-month full stack bootcamp. I now work as a front-end dev and am very happy with how things turned out.
I did not have any type of CS background before attending NSS. It is not a stretch to say that anyone who really applied themselves to getting hired after leaving NSS has gotten a job. They have graduated over 100 students in the last 2 years.

>If you look around on job boards, there simply is not much competition for entry-level talent.
Do not rely on job boards for indication of what's out there. Out of the dozens of NSS grads who have been hired, the vast majority found their opportunities through networking or from companies that have relationships with the school and reach out directly for their junior position needs. The rapid establishment of my network was one of the unexpected, but most beneficial, results of attending NSS.

>Average starting salaries of 100k or more
That seems like a stretch, at least anywhere outside of the west coast. Starting salaries around here have been about half of that, but the opportunity to get to six figures within a few years is certainly there.
Not necessarily. It is possible stale2002 gets emails from recruiters simply because he's on a list somewhere. Recruiters are not known for investigating people thoroughly before bulk sending of emails.
