fwiw the NYT's slogan isn't "sacred guardians of democracy" or "Democracy Dies in Darkness". That's the Washington Post.

It's slogan is "All The News That's Fit To Print". It is considered The Newspaper of Record for the US and sees itself as having value for future historical research.
Now it's mostly folks worried about their 401k.
This is my personal opinion, so feel free to disagree:

I would never work for free. I'm good at what I'm doing and I create value for that company/person. No need to give this away for free.
That is not possible without some kind of bootstrapping mechanism.
I'd be OK with this if "trusted sponsor" meant Bob's Plumbing, and Bob's the second baseman's father who bought the team's uniforms. Sure, let Bob have my email so he can pitch me a tankless water heater. But it's as likely that they're remote conglomerates selling horrible products that damage our kids' health and shorten their lives, like Coca-Cola. And we're handing them a sheaf of vectors to insert their promotional material into our every crevice.

I think it's more due to the funky high-temperature fermentation of the top-fermenting ale yeasts used. This will create more fusel alcohols than a clean bottom fermentation.

Your tech stack looks interesting but why "Middleman" and not for example "Jekyll" ?
Why should I, who have had my personal domain for 15 years, using multiple email addresses, websites, and dynamic DNS back to my home router, be forced to move to a "cheaper" TLD?

I find it interesting that the Monkey language, created solely for the examples implemented in this book, looks strikingly similar to a simplified EcmaScript (ES2015+ actually). Is ES/JS the best example of a parseable language? Why not just shoot for a (subset) ES interpreter instead of a made up language that does not resonate as much with the reader?
I can't be certain how many degrees separated the two are, but I have established a lower bound on the answer

Let d:(x,y)->n be the degrees of separation between x and y. Since d(x,y)=0 implies x=y, and we know that FB and HN are not identical, we have d(FB,HN)>0.

Then, since d takes integral values we know that d(FB,HN)>=1 in any case.

I made the switch to libreoffice a few years back. For simple word documents, it works well.

It breaks down when you are using something like Excel with complex macros/calculations. This is why most companies continue to use Microsoft products.
You don't need to resort to a conspiracy to explain the massive dysfunction in the US educational system. It explains itself: education is a mess, so smart critical people are rare, so it is hard to get them to teach and even harder to keep them teaching in the presence of overbearing and awful governance. The field of education research is also a mess on the level of 1910s psychology, and that's not helping the quality of schools either.
There’s no advantage to a big stash, but it’s easy to overestimate the number of trick-or-treaters, have a ton of candy left on your hands, and just stick it in the closet for next year.
In Quebec we do have theses laws.

Short urban commutes in winter are not an issue (or shortish commutes in Scandanavian high density population areas)... it's the idea of long commutes in rural areas and/or long commutes in rural areas during winter that is not just inconvenient but actually quite dangerous.
Usually that time is "spent" either on:

1. Catching up on lost sleep because I had to wake up early to waste that time on commuting to the office.

2. Being wasted from a tiring day at work and not in any mood to do anything "productive" on transit, which itself further adds to fatigue and exhaustion.

As a bonus, you also get to roll the dice on whether you even get to sit. Whether it's 30 minutes or 90 minutes, holding onto a bar or strap stuffed into a metal container like sardines takes another huge mental and physical toll. Arrive at the office already tired and wasted, and arrive back home even more tired and wasted.
There's a demonization of cyclists in general if you live in an American city. Until this stigma goes away, which will usher in infrastructure and mentality changes, this will not occur.

City councils believe cycling is recreational, not for commuting or for "real" use. I mentioned this about getting my LA suburb to actually embrace Class II bike lanes previously, and there's simply no political will.

Simply put, it's sexier to put EV charging stations than bike lanes as a form of virtue signaling.
My biggest concern with Chia, is that Proof of Space doesn't actually "use up" any space. In particular, this means that when a "miner" is faced with a choice of two competing blocks (or transactions) their best option is to simply "mine" on both of them. This is doable because, by it's very nature, proof of space has little to no opportunity cost.

As a result, it seems that proof of space doesn't really come to any consensus. In particular the Chia software will track up to 5 simultaneous chain tips as a consequence of this.

P.S. My understanding could be a few years out of date, so do correct me if I'm wrong.
On top of that, one can use strings as a normal "sequenced container of characters" and just use <algorithm>s on them. This is one of my favorite ways to write concise code in those interview questions (e.g. "That's just a rotate, then a partition").
They do have a lot of advantages: a flat country, good infrastructure for cycling, cool climate. That means you don't sweat on the way to work so you don't need showers and to change clothes.
Being shunned is the oldest, most effective social strategy for enforcing conformance that's worked for thousands of years. It's lost a lot of teeth recently as everyone can now find supportive communities for whatever dumb ass opinions they come to support and a lack of need for communal support to literally survive.

I tend not to buy into slippery slope arguments. I'm not going to bat an eye here.
One of my companies was trying to shame people into carpooling, and a number of folks who lived close enough to bike (sometimes) were quite smug about that being superior. Both groups were noticeably silent when a few of us remote workers pointed out we didn't need a commute or to power and cool a large office.
This is a good post,answered most of my questions. Is it free though? It seems I can't find out the price without signing up.

My first concern was how it will be abused by malware and blocked by different networks. For example ngrok.io is classified as "proxy avoidance" which means if I use it and go to a client site that blocks it,it will create an awkward situation. But I think requiring 3rd party idP might solve this issue with tailscale.
Working on a Twilio auto-responder. It is pretty simple, but also building a front end so people can manage the keywords. I have all of that working, my next step is to put an actual password on it. I'm looking at Okta, but I'm not sure if that isn't total overkill. It is going to never get used by more than 10 people and mostly just by 1 or 2.

For the moment I just have the least secure setup possible using some JavaScript to hide the HTML until you add a password. Anyone who can inspect the page can bypass it.
If you had sold your stock the day after the shares went ex-dividend (a few weeks ago), you would have believed that:

- you will receive the dividend

- you will have no other financial upside/downside from easyjet's performance

If the dividend were to be cancelled, then this would transfer wealth from you (a past shareholder) to current easyJet shareholders.

Rules changing after you have made a trade isn't how financial markets are meant to work, because it reduces incentive structures.

I'm not saying what should happen in this case. Just pointing out that cancelling a dividend for shares that have already gone ex-dividend seems like it would require a lot of work to make sure that the money comes from current shareholders, and not past ones.
Have you read this article? https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/17/opinion/coronavirus-face-...

> Third, of course masks work — maybe not perfectly and not all to the same degree, but they provide some protection. Their use has always been advised as part of the standard response to being around infected people, especially for people who may be vulnerable.
That was the CDC. The article says the tests were successfully tested in China.
Fine. One more time, then I'm heading to the bar.

> Good to know social justice inquisition can be conducted without actually engaging with someone. Silence the infidel! He speaks heresy!

There does seem to be a quasi-religious aspect to the social justice movement. I consider it a feature rather than a bug. Just be glad it's not a real inquisition. If you think this is bad...

> Institutions can be precisely and accurately defined. We can start with units of individuals.

Okay, let's give this a shot. How about the institution of Hollywood? You have the film makers, actors, film crew, producers. Then you have the major studios, the lawyers. How about the accountants? Are they part of the institution? They work on location in the industry, so let's throw them in.

What about the cinemas? They're not in Hollywood proper, but they license the movies and make a profit off of them. Doesn't feel completely right, but lets add them in too.

The people that go to the cinemas? They're the ones that keep the system going, that ultimately decide what movies get made. Feels even less right, but let's throw them in for good measure.

People that watch movies and television? You mean, "everyone"? That's the problem with your approach. The line that says whether someone's in an institution or not is always going to be at least somewhat arbitrary. Institutions are intended to be this way, to have wide-ranging social effects.

What about the institution of slavery? Is everyone that profited from slavery a part of the institution? If so, you're back at "it's no one's fault". If not, you're ultimately being arbitrary as to who is contributing to an institution.

I hope this satisfies your desire for precision. I spent five paragraphs outlining one specific concept. Imagine if I had to do this for everything you bring up in your long posts. I'd need even more words to be as precise as you'd want me to be. That's why I said precision and accuracy aren't always possible. It was as precise as I could convey that concept without writing a book about it.

Now that I've spilled all these words on one topic, I find myself with little left in the tank for the rest of your points. Now I shall silence and marginalize and conduct a crusade against you by not replying to any of your future posts. Think about that for a moment.
Modern biology has moved on from the definition of a species being able to breed functioning offspring, since it's actually pretty fuzzy- e.g. with ring species https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_species
Definitely a good one: "Experiences with running PostgreSQL on Kubernetes - Gravitational - blog post 2018"

For anyone who thinks running a database in a container environment is a neat idea, think again. I am guilty of using containers for temporary test databases, but the thought of running production databases in containers sends shivers down my spine.
Sadly not linking your address book is probably not enough. I use 1 email address for almost all online shops and site registrations, and sadly I also used it for Facebook. The result? Shops upload their customer data to Facebook (I think it's an FB "feature" so they (the shops) can target ads at their customers), and guess which identifier they use? Yeah, I'm quite sure the customers' email address.

Hah, even if I used different emails, my name is very very unique. And writing this I wonder how GDPR compliant the whole thing is, or if they just trade md5s of emails with each other..
While I understand the sentiment behind this post, I think it misses one crucial point: It costs time, effort, and very smart people to build the "Bugati"-like system as they describe, instead of the current systems (that are more like "Toyotas", to name one).

I haven't seen the paper yet, so I can't be sure, but I think the numbers might ignore many factors: First, you need some kind of abstract, exchangeable storage (e.g., protobufs) to work with the data in many languages. Third, there's the file-system and all its intricacies. Fourth, it's unlikely that any compute environment will be dedicated only to one application (there's scheduling, resource management, and all that, which means there are hidden costs to doing network IO due to contention, protocol quirks, etc.). And finally, any realistic application is more than just "solving" the problem in the fastest way possible. Requirements change all the time, new features will be added, the code needs to be readable, understandable, maintainable, etc.

It's possible to do all the above AND be super efficient, but it requires a tremendous level of understanding of a system at all levels that it can be quite challenging, and frankly, with business requirements, it's probably not worth the time. If there's a framework that gives you abstraction but compiles to the fastest possible specific implementation AND makes a programmer productive, I would love to read up more!
> You’re asserting you already paid taxes, you don’t get to decide how much tax you pay.

Neither do you, let's get this proposal to the legislature.

> I concede that laws requiring clothing are akin to taxation in that one group of people imposes their values on another group without their consent.

Perhaps the same can be said of all laws.

> I disagree with you that taxation is necessary for society.

It's voluntaryism, then. The onus is on you to advance an alternative model and light a candle, rather than just calling taxation theft and cursing the darkness.

> If someone can articulate a coherent vision of a property-less society, others are welcome to join them.

As with taxes.

> In essence, they don’t have a problem with property, but with certain people’s ownership of certain things because they would rather that other people own those same things.

Not so with Proudhon, the originator of the phrase. His take was that those who owned those properties had no right to the wealth generated by those properties if the labor was undertaken by others. That is, rentier wealth via property was theft.

> I now saw that Bruenig's use of Proudhon's phrase "property is theft" made perfect sense from the perspective of an evolutionary theory of morality when "property" is defined as ownership by people who do not work yet become wealthier than the people from whom rent is collected.

welcome to currency trading
I suspect a lot of places are trying to at least depress their currency. We're at a weird point in history where a lot of technological influences on the economy are deflationary, to the point that a lot of money printing is required just to keep the inflation rate somewhat steady. Add a desire to be competitive on wage costs against other nations and some of the measures being taken look rather aggressive.
A tangentially related question: why do the fonts look like computer modern? Do you write the article in LaTeX and have it translated into HTML preserving the font style?
hence, if the officer decides he doesn't like you he has probably cause. After all he likes "GOOD" people

fuck, I don't care how its worded, its theft and theft by a government to big to give a fuck what you think. they have the police, they have the courts, and you have the right to shut up and eat it.
Let's try this again.

Your initial argument was essentially "but men are sexualized too!" And that was irrelevant, because we're talking about ladies.

That comic you posted actually sums it up pretty well, super heroes are drawn as male power fantasies. Also notice I never said anything about women finding Batman unattractive, the problem is that women are drawn almost exclusively to please just men. (Look up male gaze)

If I started reading romance novels, then I too might give a damn if my gender is normally portrayed in certain ways. But I read comic books and found myself enjoying the ones where women get to be people to.
It's the probe rating. It'll be interesting to see how long the USB electronics survive if they get up to that temperature. Industrial temperature range is typically only up to 70C and I don't think I've ever seen even Automotive/Military IC's that can operate at 130C

What you're looking for is pretty easy to build at lower temperatures: just put a temperature probe in a stainless steel housing and route the sensor leads out to USB data collection that's at a safe temperature. The off the shelf units tend to be expensive because they're aimed at food-grade applications, not at hobbyists.

At temperatures of 550F, then you need to use thermocouples which are a bit harder to interface to, so hobbyists tend to shy away. Again, plenty of commercial products at this range, but expensive.
Well, if by "celebrate" you mean "eat a lot of food", then yes!
I've been wanting something like this for a while. I'm really surprised the GitHub devs never recognized the fact that most of the time people just want to earmark a project for later reference rather than wanting to be notified of every little change to it. Besides projects I'm collaborating on, there's very few I need a commit activity of in my feed every time I log in.

How many other people are stuck in this way abroad?
I'm currently at a place with a culture of thorough code reviews. IMO, it entirely depends on the people and the culture. It's on the reviewer to actually thoroughly review the code and ensure it does what it's supposed to do, including local checkout and testing if needed. And of course on the management structure to provide senior enough reviewers with enough time to do that. It certainly is easier and less time-consuming to just skim it and comment on some style nitpicks and unit tests, but there's no reason it has to be.

The flip side of course is that the original coder does still need to be reasonably competent. Relying on even exhaustively thorough and repeated code reviews to turn basically garbage into reasonable quality code is a bad bet.
"No one" is a bit harsh; I even helped a poster in r/Signal set up a CircleCI build for the repo in order to show that it's not oppressively hard, just tedious (as with all things CI/CD)

The Signal android build now uses some PKCS11 machinery that requires patching out to build without using a smartcard, but otherwise it works as expected.

I dove into this darkness while trying to fix the borked MMS handling on Visible (a Verizon MVNO), and is the reason I'm generally with you: if someone can't build the project, then it's not effectively open source, IMHO, because I lose my "right to repair"
It's classy how the foundation both thanked and shamed at the same time. The other donors can feel good that they donated more in proportion than Apple.
that’s literally what I did too and (not to brag but) I got on my country’s international math team and got free admission to university because of that. But how many were there? 10 at most.

Edit: my point is that finding the right math club at the right time is even more luck and effort than getting good on standard tests.
Oath (Yahoo, Verizon, ..) $50-99...
But Firebird does have it, too. I find it funny how supposedly top products sometimes lack the most basic features.
You comment is precisely correct. It is the trolley problem writ large.

That is part of the reason why there are college courses dedicated to the topic, pages and pages of historical analysis of the choices made in situations in the past their their outcomes, analyses of the issues leading up to the "fulcrum point" of the crisis, and daily assessments (guesses) of the mental state of, and the response of, the key players in the situation.

That these situations are not popping up every day is a testament to the work of a functional state department and diplomatic corps. And it is why the people in that corps who heard a President extorting a foreign leader by withholding military support in exchange political favors, were so horrified.
Electoral Reform. There is so much waste and hardship caused by our First-Past-The-Post electoral system, or any system delivers 100% power to a minority of votes. Most people living under this system don't even understand how problematic it is. Policy lurch, caused by alternating majority governments leads the undoing of policies, and that leads to further climate stalling. Find your local group working towards electoral reform. In Canada we have groups like Fair Vote Canada, and Unlock Democracy. Both amazing groups to support. This is where I put my efforts as it is the underpinning of longer lasting sustainable policy.
Biofuel is not really sustainable and requires fuel to harvest. Pretty much all major infrastructure equipment runs on fuel. The difficulty of shifting off of fuel is incredibly large.
I just wonder what are the other things from comic books that might actually turn out to be true if there is research on them.
Commits are a form of documentation and can be useful for grouping together related changes. All of this context is lost when squash merging.

In some ways it is unfortunate that services like GitHub and GitLab have become so dominant in the industry. If you're just working with plain git there is no assumption that squashing is some kind of binary decision the way the UIs of the online VCS services tend to present it. It's normal to do an interactive rebase and squash some commits to clean things up before sharing your code, yet keep logically separate changes in their own distinct commits, and you can have a much nicer commit history if you do than with either the no-squash or squash-everything extremes. Of course you can still do that with something like GitHub or GitLab as well but I think perhaps a lot of less experienced developers have never learned how or even why they might want to.
