Oh no, poor monarch, if only he could do something about those laws, for example abolish them. But apparently he is powerless, and can only "speak out" against those laws, right?
> In Athens, Greece, a 15 minute ride to the airport in 45 euros

This seems very different from my experience in Athens two weeks ago. According to Google maps, getting from the city to the airport by car takes around 40 minutes by car and the alternative of taking the train costs 10 euros per person for the same amount of time. Paying around 40 euros seems reasonable for such a long trip if you have more than one person.
the Gnome desktop (at least on Fedora) also delays updates until shutdown/reboot time. but points taken on Javascript and Python. From what I'm seeing in Gnome Builder updates though, they're really interested in getting to a point where Rust can be used for writing Gnome apps.
Whose electric sled was this? Hyperloop?
As a computer vision/ML applications engineer I disagree with this. What you describe is someone who is actively implementing cutting edge tech.

That is VERY different than what 99% of people should be doing with ML which is: Spinning up some K80s on Azure, installing TF/CUDA/OpenCL, pulling existing pre-trained models off the shelf, and running inference on a novel data set.

That's how you get into it as a garden variety dev.

Otherwise, go for the PhD if you want to actually make new stuff.
I wasn't aware of the MS Update Catalog. It's nice to know that it's an option. This does allow installing single updates without using the Microsoft Update client

It's not a long-term solution, though:
1. You need to know the KB article ID of the update you're looking for. And again, the individual update descriptions or KB articles frequently just say "something was fixed" but not what.
2. Some updates will probably fail to install because previous updates to the same component weren't installed. Conversely, updates that just give you the latest version of a file or application might auto-install the older updates you wanted to skip.

In any event, even if you successfully skip most updates, the main outcome will be that your system will be that much less secure and easier to take over using published vulns even without a backdoor...
Blasphemy laws often frame the deed as (a) hurting the feelings of believers and/or (b) causing social unrest and/or (c) disturbing public order.

You certainly can consider a very large set of potential victims - there are a lot of real people who get gravely offended by cases of blasphemy.

Your statement that God isn't real is, in the eyes of such court, saying something clearly untrue that offends others and harms the social order. The existence and reality of God is an undisputed axiom in many legal systems - the court will rule that God is real, the legal acts will explicitly state that God is real, and it might even be enshrined in their constitution as a fact above all law. It's even plausible that the holy text e.g. Quran is the basis of all law there; there may be additional regulations but the core of law comes from God.
My example is still very well defined, and very easy to reason about. It will output '0' on stdout if no file is found, and an error message on stderr.

Bash is very good for the things its good at, but you still need to know what you're doing to not fuck it up. Some people don't know how to consider error handling when they code, but that's the fault of the programmer.
The scrollbar of your browser already does this - also it has been done before and was a common trend a few years ago (2014-2015) dictated by the article length rather than an arbitrary length (this one seems to be article + recommended articles below). It was used because on infinite scrolling pages you couldn't tell the length of your next read based on your scrollbar.

Frankly, it's been a while since I worked on Dynamo so I can't say for sure. I don't see a fundamental reason not to support null and zero-length. On the other hand it seems more like a convenience than a necessity, since you can encode those.

You may have different use-cases in mind, but it seems that if you're writing nulls you're using the key-value store to distinguish between keys that do or don't exist - basically storing a large set rather than a large map. And in that case you can write a small value to encode null and you won't change the value (rather you will delete the key-value entry).

I think this takes us to an API design discussion - I don't feel strongly about it. But I'd love to hear if that caused you significant burden or trouble in your application.
That is exactly why I wrote the last line, as there are lots of choices and not everyone can just snap out of it. This is my own fault, as I probably should have written more. It isn't that I've not suffered from depression - I've taken medicine for it for a while after my ex's suicide attempt because it got bad - normally, mine is just a depressive bend on life (dysrhythmia as some call it). But in the end, I had to decide these things for myself. I had to change my life, and it took years. This doesn't make any of this untrue. No other thing has worked. Yes, it takes reminding myself that perhaps, maybe, I'm expecting too much of myself. Yes, it takes practice. But it sure as hell beats expecting folks to act like my ex, who on top of being schizo-affective also turned out to be fairly abusive. I left him about 10 years ago, which kicked off a bunch of choices that vastly improved my life, then started looking at the general outlook.

To be fair, though, I'd have said many of the same things in your response 6-7 years ago. One day, it just clicked.

On a different note, happy to hear that you are getting help. I hope things have eased up over the last year for you and that they continue to do so.

"Victim", as there's nothing to suggest it's targetted.
Columns are nice but without functions they don't really rise to the level of arrays. And the UI for Excel functions is probably one of the worst interfaces for functions we have.

Also Excel clouds the ergonomics of the lists and functions by duplicating common functionality in bespoke UI and littering it everywhere so it's not a very natural path from using a function through the UI to using it in another function.

Also Excel columns add weird semantics by putting every column in the same rowspace.

Also arrays have names. Columns are usually just numbered.

In other words: yes, spreadsheets are the most useful end-user programming tool we have, but it has so much extra junk layered on top of it it's nigh unlearnable. And it's not a starting point, it's a dead end. An EUP environment built on a spreadsheet is a car built from horse parts.

A well designed array UI would have the semantics of an actual modern array. Push, pop, each, etc. A well designed function UI the same. And both need to be presented clearly without distraction to count as a "good UI" in my book.
Well, I would argue that the main purpose of jQuery was to help cover all the strange DOM edge cases of the browsers of that time. In that case, it really isn't needed anymore as most browsers behave the same on like 90% of the things now. (It's just that people used it as if it was a Framework, not a library which caused a bunch of problems.)

I am with you that if I'm doing something lightweight I don't use any of the new fancy JS frameworks, I just write vanilla JS.
>with about a billion caveats to allow journalism etc.

Then you'd just see setups like the financial industry has. You get analysts, call them journalists, and have people subscribe to your publication. The journalists go get insider-ish tips and 'publish' them to a select group of followers.

With laws like that you'd just hire a full time business analytics journalist to cover your store.
Would that be legal? I don't know the terminology or the regulations, but the only reason Fi exists is because the carriers are required to share their infrastructure.
Yes for people with normal bank accounts vs random computer store.
>a penalty that shocked many inhabitants of the majority-Muslim country known for its tolerance and pluralism.

This made me laugh out loud. Obviously, some people equate "majority-Muslim" to "tolerance and pluralism," but I find it extremely contradictory.

To me, the sentence is practically satire.
Greece has had actual blasphemy laws and quite a few prosecutions and convictions related to them. We also have a complete shit-show of an "antiracist" law but that's another story.
I don't like the other responses to your comment.

> It's an incitement to violence

No, it's not. Otherwise, wouldn't that imply we should outlaw being mean altogether? Is being mean always an incitement for violence? Yes/No? I think it's clear, it's not.

> it's horrifically bad for the mental health

Citation needed.

> as a form of discrimination against those people

Again, no. Discrimination requires that it be 'unjust or prejudicial treatment', hate speech does not. Hate speech could be as little as explaining factual reasons you don't like another race.

I don't know why you are being down voted. It is true that America is a republic and not a pure democracy. A republic doesn't just mean no monarch. A republic is different from a pure democracy because it explicitly protects the rights of minorities through a constitution. That is why the Supreme Court can rule that state laws banning gay marriage are unconstitutional, and therefore cannot exist.

That's one of the things that most strikes me about driving in Manhattan. In large areas of Manhattan, at least at certain times of day, you have to be almost insanely aggressive from the perspective of tooling around Mountain View on the average day. Otherwise, you're not going anywhere and are going to have everyone blaring their horns at you. (Plus, pretty much every pedestrian will take advantage of your timid driving to cross the street in front of you while you're hesitating.)
If I direct you to particular texts or ideas, then not only would I be falling into the trap of saying 'you should check out this spiritual technology, dude,' you'd be missing out on the exploratory and imaginative process that necessarily precedes discovery and innovation.

I'm saying that people should keep using the scientific method to formalize and test their hypotheses, but that esoteric traditions offer some interesting and under-explored paradigms within which to hypothesize. I'm being deliberately vague here because I don't want to bias you.
Exactly, and if you had someone's important confidential information sitting on the seat (or even on an un-encrypted laptop), you would be liable for that loss.
It's a big campus. Just because you don't want someone to speak doesn't mean someone else shouldn't (thru threat of violence) exercise their "speech & association" right to invite the speaker & listen.
Maybe. I did this for many years, and then by circumstance my overarching goal turned to dust. That's a lot to take. Make sure you're on a path that has some enjoyment in the now. Don't just suffer for some future pleasure.

Did you read your own article?

"Non-discrimination on the basis of gender identity and expression may very well be interpreted by the courts in the future to include the right to be identified by a person’s self identified pronoun. The Ontario Human Rights Commission, for example, in their Policy on Preventing Discrimination Because of Gender Identity and Expression states that gender harassment should include “ Refusing to refer to a person by their self-identified name and proper personal pronoun”. In other words, pronoun misuse may become actionable, though the Human Rights Tribunals and courts. And the remedies? Monetary damages, non-financial remedies (for example, ceasing the discriminatory practice or reinstatement to job) and public interest remedies (for example, changing hiring practices or developing non-discriminatory policies and procedures)."
You know what you might do if you were a problem solver like Elon? You would identify the problem you just described, then you would start a company that operates van-sized buses that could easily use the Boring company's tunnels. You pick up 4-10 people and carry them through the tunnels and let them out.

For bonus points, your vans could be autonomous.

Or, you could, you know... complain that tunnels aren't a complete solution.
You mean the same king who obtained his political power by directly supporting a coup (in the name of lèse-majesté) against the military government which was sidelining him?

And supported the Thammasat University massacre (also carried out in the name of lèse-majesté)?

I get that he'd spoken out at various times against it. But he also benefited enormously from it and wielded it when it suited his purposes. (Some of which were arguably for the greater good given what was happening in the region)
There's a big difference between just not wanting and threatening violence against.
If something such as that were implemented, sure you'd stop a few, but it would just become an underreported metric. Making something illegal does not wholesale stop it from happening, it just pushes it out of view.
Personally I wouldn't have a problem with criminalizing saying mean things, as long as the penalty was reasonably. Utopia...

Maybe its not so much that nobody learns, but that its something that is generally best learned through experience. Its hard to self assess and self deception is easy. So society keeps repeating the same mistakes, even though those who have experienced and learned from it are actually talking about it.

To me it seems much more like a societal/systemic problem - one that will not be easy to fix, especially with the increasing inequality and rise of automation. The demand for achievement and lifestyle upheld by society as something worthwhile to strive for (for happiness, fulfilment, recognition etc), just perpetuates the cycle and will be become harder to attain.

What are those to think/do who did not reach what society taught them they should want and have to be happy and fulfilled? These people put the effort in, but get nothing back. They get burnt out and depressed and even though they later talk about it, others cant understand as they don't have perspective and/or don't think it will happen to them. They are too busy burning themselves out chasing the goal.

I don't think there is a solution that doesn't involve a radical shift in society and work/life balance.
Run a Laravel App Locally Without Installing PHP or Laravel
Anything from 10GB to 1TB works well with these systems. They can scale beyond 1TB if you use multiple machines.

The catch is GPU memory is more expensive than CPU memory. You only want to use it if:
1) Your workload is compute heavy - think machine learning OR
2) You care about speed i.e., you want queries to be interactive.
Which proves -- in the case of flight -- that an "unnatural" refactor can be better along certain dimensions than what nature came up with: airplanes are better in terms of average speed and payload transported by air per unit energy consumed.

The parent's point was that, for driving, the "natural" human way is still better along one relevant dimension [1]: how much sensory data is required (SDCs need a lot more).

SDC engineers would regard it as an improvement if they could get SDCs to work using only the sensory data that a human would get. The parent was saying that Uber could show superiority by similarly doing more with less.

[1] Humans also drive with coarser control over the car i.e. no direct computer interface, just gripping the wheel and pushing the pedals.
We don't draw the line. Anything goes, as long as you're only speaking or writing. It's called "free speech" because anyone is free to say anything.
Actually OBD on moderns cars is pretty much useless, it only reports the basic federally mandated emissions info for e-checks and that's it. All the fun stuff is on CAN and other often proprietary buses.
Photographs are legal in public. This is just taking that to the extreme. Address that law. What bothers me is ALPR. Taken to an extreme you can just put a camera on every intersection and effectively track all vehicles without a warrant.

Just as in the performance review process, Management (aka "the winners", be default and decree) write the story.

I remember spending more time pushing against the inertia and self-interest, than actually solving the problems. Solutions that, in a fairly straightforward and rather conservative fashion, stopped problems like these.

We are already seeing the uptake of the "rubber hose" in IT/IS oversight. Up to the Federal level, in the U.S.

It's not going to be a matter of who is responsible and who is technically capable. It's going to be the rubber hose and the lead pipe.

Whether that's a winning strategy...?

I guess that's why you're making popcorn.

Apparently some people haven't been following the debates around the introduction of that law very closely.

Less than stellar computer security at some of these organisations was one of the major concerns, and this incident shows that these warnings are clearly justified.

I would have thought my point to be glaringly obvious.

Perhaps rather than for being off-topic my comment may have been flagged because some don't like to hear "told you so" right in the middle of an incident that affects many people in quite dramatic ways (operations cancelled) and I can understand that. So I apologise for the insensitivity.

Replace collectable potato chips with baseball cards and you're back to the example I was trying to portray.

Making it illegal to say something that's false is ridiculous.

That is a very, very bad idea.
Some other options:

1. Possibly web development agencies? Seem to often have cross-disciplinary teams (designer + programmer + UX specialist). Some of them are terrible, I hear, but some of them sound like nice places to work.

2. I've occasionally seem job postings for programmer jobs at a university, where you're helping scientists out.

3. Python has a very diverse set of use cases. E.g. PyCon has talks on everything from web development to distributed systems to data science to biology to graphics to education. And much higher percentage of women speakers and attendees than many (most?) software conferences.
We trust the same people we trust with everything else, judges. The legal system is a nuanced mess and the reason we have judges is while some of it is black and white some of it is in a sort of gray area. We would give them guidelines and through an analysis of the language of the law and current precedent they would make a ruling. It's not a perfect system but often it's better to have an imperfect system than none at all.
The right to free speech wasn't intended to protect "love speech". Popular speech doesn't need protecting; unpopular (often rhetorically construed as "hate") speech does.

Even if it could help them, there are risks[0], and in most jurisdictions, LSD is a highly restricted drug which doctors cannot prescribe therapeutically, so there is no guarantee of dose or purity.

Freedom of speech and freedom of the press are tangentially related but very different from each other. It's very possible to have a free press but without freedom of speech (e.g. journalists can report on anything they wish, corruption, government misdeeds, culture but pornography or a specific book like say Mein Kampf is illegal, or libel/slander laws are broad enough to allow the wealthy to use the court system to punish people for speaking)

Similarly it's possible to have freedom of speech but no free press, e.g. anyone can say whatever they wish on the street and out loud but all major media organizations systematically overwhelm or crush journalistic dissent and control the media narrative as dictated by a tiny oligarchy of wealthy elites which is in some large part the case in the U.S. or by the government directly as in many other more traditional repressive countries.
And there's an even bigger difference between 'just not wanting someone to speak on your campus' and physically obstructing the ability of someone to speak on your campus.

The rise of the latter is why this matters.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing this.
