A far as male pants/trousers go, your choices are basically jeans, corduroys, or khakis (chinos). Corduroys are uncomfortably warm, IME, and of the remaining two jeans are a clear winner for convenience: they don't need to be ironed (chinos look terrible as soon as they get even slightly wrinkled, jeans do not), and they better conceal small spills and stains. Not much more to it than that, for me.
This is where I got it from: https://ourworldindata.org/war-and-peace/

The downward trend since the middle ages is actually in wars between the major powers. War mortality seems more or less the same over the long term. The number of smaller conflicts goes up, though.

The decreasing long-term trend in all violence, not just war, is stronger: https://ourworldindata.org/slides/war-and-violence/#/title-s...

"Not even Satoshi himself can tell you the future of Bitcoin, it is entirely speculation." that is very true.

Although I have not studied the blockchain technology I dont doubt it works...in theory, its the human side I am not sure about.

Their reasoning might be if you need 16GB you're probably a professional, doing professional work on the laptop. So you should be able to afford to pay more.
popleft is shift in many other languages.

Not all languages manipulate arrays in the same way re ref/value.

Not all languages have the concept of range() - you could have used a simple array to be more language agnostic.

He has a tool to gauge and manipulate public perception, like the current generation of political elite can only dream of.

He can push any agenda he wants and have it delivered in just the right way to get the public to agree. You want a dude with that power to also be given executive control of the country?

Yeah, that's a good point. The funny part is that it's the very consumer choice we champion that eventually leads to a total lack of consumer choice. We choose the best, they're rewarded, they dominate, choice disappears, they're free to stagnate without repercussion.

They use Windows because that is the platform which a vast majority of software is written for.
I run FL Studio and a bunch of VSTs, and I agree with you on at least this: the processor still can't meet the need if you use a lot of synth, and 16GiB RAM is still too small if you replace the synths with samplers instead.
Morally speaking, yes. The people who benefited from past exploitation and locked in that economic advantage were morally bad people, and there's no particular reason they should be able to hang on to their wealth if there's an opportunity to take it away from them. They've just got used to having it.
If you try to dump $100M in shares of VOO (to finance a luxury hotel purchase, say), you'll flood the market and the share price will drop, and you either won't have access to your funds quickly or you won't get all your money back. There simply aren't enough interested buyers for your single security to absorb your giant sell order. This would not be true if you had manually diversified that holding, which is why no one with liquidity requirements holds single securities in anything like that kind of volume (i.e. people do it, but they do it for e.g. corporate board vote share reasons).

Again, though, the point is that while holdings in big funds only hit this level at really obscene order volume, bitcoin sees liquidity problems at something more like $1M orders.
Agreed. My favourite thing about jeans are the lack of care they require, and their ability to hide stains!
If it's anything like the Kensington sd3600p I had, not so great. Buried far below anything else was the not so little detail that if you plugged in a 4K display, USB3 ports on the dock would downshift to USB2, and GigE to 100mbps (why bother?).
Notice that this only applies to B2C transactions. Company-bought products do not have that protection.
I definitely don't think "tried to destroy his life" is hyperbole at all. In this case, they didn't succeed.

This is why I usually don't post in threads like these. Grandparent asked for an example of men griping. I gave one. When people tell me about their problems, I try to sincerely listen, not tell them that their problems aren't so bad because some other area of their life is okay. I'd like to ask for the same courtesy.

Very few people are saints but if the data is useful or interesting then I don't really care. I think probably most philanthropists have some motives besides altruism.
I suggest you walk through a recent clearcut, and a clearcut that's had 5, 10, 15, 20 years to "recover". Yes, some trees and plants can grow back. But the actual forest takes centuries to recover.

I live in southeast Alaska, which has a rich history of clearcutting. If you walk through an old-growth forest or a forest that's been selectively logged, you see a variety of trees. You see spruce, hemlock, cedar, and alder. There's space between the trees for a variety of plants and animals to thrive.

When you walk through an area that's been clearcut, it's an absolute mess and there's no diversity. Plants and alder grow back very quickly, but they grow back very densely. In about 20 years, the fastest growing trees shade out everything else. Everything else dies, but they stay in place. It's really difficult to walk through an old clearcut because there are dead standing trunks everywhere. Humans don't like old clearcuts, but neither do other plants or animals. It takes centuries for truly mature trees to grow, and for the dead initial growth to decompose and open spaces to develop again.

In some places, the initial clearcut removes the only protection the soil had from being washed away. Where the soil is a relatively thin layer over, say, a limestone bedrock, the soil gets washed away before the process of regeneration can even begin. In those places, it will take millenia for a new forest to grow.

It's not as simple as "Trees grow back, and so do forests."
Packages are kept very up-to-date in general. The contributors try their best to keep up with the latest stable releases, so freshness resembles a distro like Arch more than Debian. I don't use any nonfree packages and Guix provides none because it conforms to the GNU FSDG, so there is no Firefox package available. Someone could provide a nonfree package collection that users could install separately but I don't know of any. The IceCat project is based on the extended support releases of Firefox and Guix provides updates quickly. I hope that someday Firefox will become FSDG compliant so there's no longer a need for IceCat.

I wonder how HN will explain this [1]:

"In western North America, the current outbreak of the mountain pine beetle and its microbial associates has destroyed wide areas of lodgepole pine forest, including more than 16 million of the 55 million hectares of forest in British Columbia. The current outbreak in the Rocky Mountain National Park began in 1996 and has caused the destruction of millions of acres of ponderosa and lodgepole pine trees. According to an annual assessment by the state's forest service, 264,000 acres of trees in Colorado were infested by the mountain pine beetle at the beginning of 2013. This was much smaller than the 1.15 million acres that were affected in 2008 because the beetle has already killed off most of the vulnerable trees"

Of course something similar cannot happen in Poland.

Yes, very strong agree. I currently use HDF5 on my home machine that sucks in a fairly large amount of data (it's in the tens of TB, and adds 20GB daily). Before I set up HDF5 my database experience was mostly limited to Postgres (although more recently MySQL). I explored a variety of options including Hadoop and Cassandra but I just didn't really want to have more than one node for this exact reason, and I couldn't see a compelling advantage to either without that sort of workflow. Were I not working specifically with timeseries, I probably would have thrown it into postgres.

There's a particular bias I come across where people who genuinely have big data want to set it up in ways that is not necessarily performant because Hadoop is basically the most recognizable tool. If the data processing I'm doing generated a lot of output data I might consider a different flow, but there just isn't much of a reason: most of the data is inert for long periods of time, the output insights are fairly small and the actual processing has to occur very quickly and with low latency.
I guess it depends on how much writing the actual code factors into your enjoyment. Most people I know enjoy building systems. Working with a boilerplate-heavy language is a minor annoyance in the grand scheme of things, and is balanced out by having a robust ecosystem to build their product in.
I was interviewing for a company that had "big data" once; they were looking for someone with Hadoop experience. It turns out 8GB is big data, and I told them they might want to explore other options, since they could do that in-memory with Spark or Pandas.

Never got an email back.
It's very hard because they see "big data" as something that important people and important companies do. When you say "We don't have big data!", it translates to "We aren't that important!" This, of course, makes everyone very angry.

Be mindful of people looking to introduce big data without justification. They are playing a game of some sort (maybe just personal resume value, or maybe a larger vie for power), and you are positioning yourself as their opponent when you try to stop the proposal they're pushing. Do not go into this naively.
But what things other than flash drives (Who even uses those anymore) have ports built in? I have a USB-C -> USB 3.0 mini-b cable that I use for my external hard drives that cost me about $5.
I wonder about USAFacts. When I checked it out there were a ton of financial figures over a period of decades that didn't seem to be inflation-adjusted, which I think is likely to totally mislead people.
Lots of problems can be understood as a immutable log of events. Kafka is a screamingly high performance, resilient, immutable log of events.

It is kind of infectious though, once you have system implemented as Kafka-and-Samza the easiest way for them to communicate e and be communicated with is more Kafka and Samza.

I am fully on board the Kafka hype train. Choo choo.
You don't have to default on any debt.

All you got to do is pay it off.

We could solve the debt problem is the same way that Andrew Jackson did. By selling off a bunch of government assets. The amount of debt we half is a drop in the bucket, compared to total government assets.
Regardless of the soundness of the logic of your reply, the way that idea would be seen by darker-skinned communities (especially like the African-american community in the US that is highly affected by DM-II) would be something like "Apple made a racist product and wants black people to die". Additionally, if the device only works on non-sweating, not moving, healthy, white/asian office workers out of bright sunlight who have not recently eaten nor have gone more than 5 hours without eating, it's not really something that helps anyone who would need it.

What kind of laptop is that? Do you have a link to where you bought it?
I can't say that I agree with a $6000 hardware price and $600 a year SAAS as reasonable for what's offered.

Obviously my personal bias, but it's emacs I can never remember how to exit from.

What, exactly, are you insinuating? That parasites are driving Poles to cut down trees?

If so, where's the evidence that this is the case?
I tried Apple Pencil at an Apple store, and can't help but feel that it low-pass filters much more aggressively than my Surface Pro 4 which uses a version of NTrig2 tech. More low-pass filtering means more effective latency.
See https://blockstack.org/blog/blockstack-whitepaper-part-1:

"Blockstack binds (human-readable) domains to public keys to establish ownership of domains. These domains have associated data records as well. These small bindings are stored on the blockchain and are tamper resistant. The actual payload from the data records is stored outside of the blockchain because blockchains have limited storage space and are not meant to be used as general-purpose databases."
Vancouver, San Francisco, London, New York, Toronto, Seattle, etc. all have the same issue with foreign investments in real estate. Maybe they should consider not selling residential real estate to people who are not permanent residents and won't reside in it in regions where this is a problem.
> This will be $1800+ after tax, why not just get a really solid laptop at that point? Hell you could buy two solid desktops

Yeah a solid desktop, plus a decent laptop, tablet, chromebook and a kindle.
What's the alternative?

Many dev jobs can be accomplished by pretty tried and true technology. For a startup and even most mid sized companies, MySQL and a web framework will get you pretty much everything you need. But any kid a year out of school can do that. So those positions are not really well paid, certainly not enough for a family in the Bay Area.

To become a mid-level engineer and make more money, you've got to implement some kind of complicated distributed system. Incorrectly. And then you can "fix" it (or someone else's) to get the next promotion!

This is stylized and not 100% true to reality, but I think it gets at a core truth.

I picked up a 2-pack of USB-A/USB-C adaptors on Amazon for $10. I keep them in my bag, it hasn't been a problem. If you're plugging in more than two things at a time then you'd probably benefit from a hub anyway.
The Norton Editor (NE) was very good too. Really fast. Probably written in assembly, maybe by Peter Norton himself. I had bought and read a book of his on programming in assembly language (x86) for the IBM PC. Also very good. He developed a TUI hex editor in the book as a running case study, IIRC.

Also the Norton Guides were fantastic. TSRs [1], but with a TUI. You could get guides for C, dBASE, Clipper, Assembly, etc. I loved the TSR popup experience on DOS.

It will be interesting, to me, if there are any observable effects on nature exposed to 200 meter blasts of IR type wavelength stuff.

I mean, maybe it'll scare off deer, or pull them in closer to see what's up? Any number of species with un-intended consequences. Insects in the desert. Pidgeons in the big city. Gulls on the coast.

Maybe it's totally harmless, but I'd like a study that verifies mass adoption would not have ecological consequences.
I personally think mercurial (hg) is much more intuitive than git. Even for use with git, via hg-git[1].

That's the really weird thing about Core i7 mobile processors. They are also 1 socket, 2 cores, 4 logical processors. Just slightly faster base/turbo clocks than the i5. I dislike the naming.

I realize this whole thread is pushing back against undue scalable tools, but what if problem actually scales? Is it that foolish to take a risk on learning and deploying scalable tools vs. simpler ones?

I can read the facts and read competing opinions and then come to a conclusion on my own about who I agree with.

The value of allowing "lies", is that you don't have gatekeepers or censors deciding for you about what you should believe.
