I think they've responded well. All the congresspeople were evacuated safely, I expect that if they had any chance of causing harm there the police response would have skyrocketed.

What you had after the evacuation was complete was just a few fools breaking some windows, posing on the dias for Twitter likes, and wandering the hallways. I'm surprised they haven't spray painted their message on the walls yet.

Government property gets vandalized all the time, and can be replaced. The last thing you want to do is to kill these people who have been trapped in a cult of disinformation and turn them into martyrs, possibly building into a civil war. Currently, the response makes them look weak, but at the end of the day they'll all just leave, hopefully without loss of life.

That civil war must be avoided at all costs, and if a tepid-looking response, a few of them getting away without being arrested, a few panes of glass, and some carpet cleaning are what that costs, then I'm more than happy to pay it.

I'm less enthusiastic about the criminals at the top escaping prison time, as Joe Biden seems intent on allowing per his messaging, but again, if prosecuting everyone complicit in the previous administration's crimes has a 1% chance of inciting civil war, well, it's just not worth it.

And its not a post by the person who you were accusing, but by someone else, far upthread, whose position the person you are attacking never endorsed.

If you want to criticize the person who advocated summary execution for doing so, fine.

But its ludicrous to attack someone who explicitly advocated arrest, trial and punishment based on criminal conviction for “gaslighting” for merely saying in a later comment that they were advocating exactly what they advocated earlier in the discussion, and not what someone else had advocated.

Actually, I suspect it is very deliberate.

For normal master lock key padlocks, it is not a big deal if it accidentally unlocks with somebody else's key.

Their normal cores are shitty enough that even a regular key has a reasonable chance of acting like a bump key, so if you insert the wrong key quickly and turn, it might just open.

With LOTO locks, Bob could die if Alice's key works on Bob's lock. (e.g. both on working on equipment powered by different circuit breaks, and Alice confuses the breakers, and removes the lock from BOB's breaker, because her key happened to work on it).

A few reports of that happening, and their LOTO locks could be banned from many worksites due to unions insisting on it.

Now to be clear, the master LOTO locks offer basically zero physical security, since they can be very easily destroyed or bypassed. But to my knowledge, no master branded lock offers any real security, so that is hardly surprising.

> The problem is that it's hard to be culturally aware and to understand the problems communities are facing if you aren't exposing yourself first hand to those communities.

Absolutely, and on top of this it takes a while to learn that stuff in an ongoing process, and definitely isn't easy -- you aren't going to learn it in a week's exposure.

So that means if one wants to help by 'going there', one should be prepared to make a lengthy and long-term commitment to be there. Likely years. (If not necessarily consecutively).

Because for a while you won't be helpful, and it'll take time to increase your helpfulness, as you figure shit out. Be prepared to persist through some of the time will be really challenging.

If someone is not ready for that, then maybe 'going there' isn't the right role for them. There are plenty more roles one can take to help, many involving raising/giving money, but also educating oneself and one's neighbors, and other work one can do from one's own location.

If someone can't see beyond 'going there' or 'nothing', that's their problem to overcome or be helped to overcome, but it doesn't make it true that 'anything is better than nothing' -- it can be really hard to avoid being useless or harmful in culturally unfamiliar contexts.

I just search. Between text and tags, I always seem to be able to find whatever I'm looking for.

Pros: It's easy to set up, and has been robust. I like it that it stores its data in the filesystem, in a location of my choosing.

Cons: It seems to use a somewhat unconventional formatting syntax. I find a lot of the terminology pretty opaque. Having had a few scary configuration-related incidents, I don't try to push it to do exactly what I want anymore.

I'm glad to have found Tiddlywiki and set it up, because at the time, I was storing notes in a thousands-of-lines-long text file, which just wasn't working. But I should probably resurvey the scene and see if there's anything better.
Radiation is only a minor concern, astronauts in the space station experience similar radiation doses. I assume if it's cheaper to get things into orbit [with the elevator], it's also cheaper to shield the entire contraption. Climbing isn't much of a concern either, they've already run a bunch of tests and NASA has already awarded their prizes out for the challenge. The real issue is mass producing the carbon nanotubes.

It's like saying "Warp drive is possible" then saying all you need to do is build a ship that can manipulate the fabric of spacetime. Well of course that's all you need to do.

Sure, producing carbon nanotubes is easy. I've seen them make the it in a lab. It's making the tubes to spec and making thousands of miles of the stuff that is the hurdle. It's the equivalent of asking computer engineers in the 60s to mass produce 22nm CPUs with billions of transistors. Can it be done? Sure. In about 50 years.
Isn't Google Cloud Print built into some printers? So some people may have had a purchase decision based on a feature thats going away in a year. Seems like a reason to be upset even with a year's notice.
I think the article and you are correct - the article is worded a little oddly though and ignores the fact that in Postgres 12 CTEs that are referenced multiple times are MATERIALIZED by default.

Before Postgres 12 CTEs were always materialized so you did not get any query optimization benefits of CTEs acting like inline subqueries.

After Postgres 12 all CTEs default to NOT MATERIALIZED if only referenced once or MATERIALIZED if referenced more than once. You can override via MATERIALIZED or NOT MATERIALIZED when defining the CTE.

Their example is showing that you can let Postgres (before 12) optimize a CTE for you by writing it as an inline subquery instead of a CTE:

SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT *
FROM sale
) AS inlined
WHERE created_by_id = 1

But with Postgres 12 their "don't" example would result in an index scan without refactoring to the "do" example. Basically their advice on do vs don't applies to before Postgres 12.

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/queries-with.html is pretty thorough on this

There were hours of testimony explaining why they viewed this bill as necessary, where the legislators praised many of those involved, and did not ask questions or mention what they thought needed to be improved with the bill. That was the time to raise objections that the proposers could change, it did not happen.

>The legislature is their to vote on whether the proposed legislation is in the best interests of the people they represent. They have done that.

I don't see how a committee voting to "indefinitely postpone a vote" on the bill fits that description.

Cool. What phone do you use?
For the same reason that the OP had to write a long and well researched post, along with relatively significant financial expense. My body likes sleep, and for me, "willpower to get out of bed" isn't something that magically occurs at 8am. There are studies that associate willpower and self-control with blood sugar levels, exercise, and other factors, and I'm under the impression that people that naturally wake up in a dark room simply from the sound of an alarm clock have widely differing body chemistry from mine.
If you think the idea is the easy part, I question anything else that you might say.

Also, ideas are evolutionary. Go watch Steve Jobs' D8 interview. See how the iPhone didn't start as a phone, and then tell me Jobs doesn't deserve as much credit as he does.

Remember that this isn't about the iPhone as a device, but the device as an industry mindset changer. An idea goes beyond just the idea, and Jobs dared to envision and execute a strategy that put the phone before the carrier. If what Jobs did isn't that great, then why didn't anyone else do it?

I am pretty sure they stopped doing that when trans-fat became really unpopular, and it also might have to do with making their fries edible to people who keep kosher, vegetarians, etc. -- that's the tough thing about literally serving billions of people
You're right about the cost. I worked for McD's during the transition to vege oil, which drove down the profit margin of fried products considerably. Given that you need a handfull of high gross profit products (fries, coke, coffee, etc.) on the menu to alleviate the burden of low gross profit products (happy meals, anything healthy, etc.) the decision to switch really hurt.

Didn't affect the flavour much though. Not a single customer approached us about it at the store I worked in. Though if you took fries from two different batches, each cooked in different oil, and concentrated really hard, you could just make out the difference.
I laughed out loud when I saw the headline - duh, what'd Gizmodo expect?
> do the hard part

Relatively speaking: any moron can design a circuit board. What I mean is that, given a set of inputs and desired outputs, there are probably tens of thousands of engineers around the world who could design the iPod's circuit board. Given a set of design principles and a vision, there are probably hundreds or even thousands of designers around the world who could have come up with something similar to the iPhone. But how many people can

- see that vision and

- gather together the right minds and organize them in such a way that they implement it?

Most events have compound causes, but Steve Jobs was probably the biggest member of the cause for the iPhone event.

I had this experience, too, years ago. I felt like my brain was getting rewired. I loved it. I also noticed that I was thinking in Lisp relatively quickly. To this day when I have a really hard problem I want to solve I write the code in Lisp because it makes hard things easier to understand. Then I implement it in the language I'm using.

You begin thinking "naturally" in Lisp because there's no syntax to memorize, it's all data and / or semantics. You can literally write the code in your head. Languages I've used for years and years don't do this to me like Lisp does.

It also made me feel more confident about programming in other languages and not to get distracted by "fancy" syntax or features that are just warmed over scraps from the floor of Lisp's feast on the table.

Right, you're always trusting someone. If you don't use a VPN (or Tor or I2P) you're trusting your ISP. If you use a VPN service, you're trusting it. If you run your own VPN on a VPS or server, you're trusting the provider.

Also, you can't trust what a VPN service says about where their servers are, how they're manages, and so on.

So you need to distribute trust. [Please see my other recent comment about how to do that.]
Ruining comics was bad enough

I specifically stated “conservative” because that’s more meaningful across large periods of time than referring to political parties. Yes, the Republican Party was once the more progressive party. That changed, and for ~50 years, Republicans have been the more conservative party.
Cancel culture also affects everyday people who belong to friend groups, workplaces, schools, and families. We just don't hear about it because the cases aren't newsworthy. People get suddenly ignored, ostracized, and bullied for being many things whether its LGBT, religious, atheist, or conservative.

For examples of people getting cut off or ignored by their families and friends purely based on politics, look up the "WalkAway" group, there are hundreds of emotional video monologues by regular people. Fair warning - it is a partisan FB group, but a majority of the uploads specifically name the cancel culture they experienced as a contributing factor to why they changed their political beliefs.

Cancel culture affects ordinary people's social lives and career just as much, perhaps more so than media figures who can rely on the sympathy of like-minded crowds to bounce back.

I feel like an alien reading an article like this.

The idea of "showing off" with vacations, weekend events or even professional accomplishments seems preposterous to me. How is this socially acceptable is beyond my comprehension.

Likewise, I'm probably only interested in knowing where 10 or so people spent their vacation, and even then, only when the narrative is directed at me or a small number of friends. I can't understand how a public parade of general info and photos can be anything other than utterly shallow and boring.

What do these points actually represent?

Also it shows some points near Las Vegas, which I'm pretty sure I haven't been to with iOS 4.

Some points even show up in the middle of the San Francisco Bay, which doesn't make sense if this is showing cell towers.
> The problem is that math isn't "invented", it's "discovered".

This is a quite controversial philosophical claim you are making. Don’t be too hasty to state such claims emphatically. By reasoning surely similar to your own (unstated) reasoning, any formal model for anything is “discovered” rather than “invented”.

Otherwise, being able to video chat over wifi -- skype (and ichat, though ichat seems much more picky about firewalls) has done that for years, too. Yeah, true, now you'll be able to do it without your laptop (but still have wifi), but it's not like it's some kind of revolutionary leap...
