> You're free to call someone out or leave if someone makes a joke you don't like, you don't get to tell them to not make it.

If you are a private company, such as an american university, or facebook, you absolutely do get to decide to tell people not to make jokes, and you absolutely do get to make hiring decisions based on bad jokes.

> It's almost as if thought policing were useless

This is not thought policing, this is looking at someone's jokes and attitudes towards People of Colour and women and deciding as a private company if you want a toxic person, someone who thinks that it's alright to joke about sexual harassment, in your private space.

> someone who's evil will do horrible things because they want to and not because "something something bad environment"

There are no evil people, there are only people who have been brought up in an environment where the actions they have taken are acceptable. What, you think people who do evil things are genetically predetermined to do them? It's rubbish. Hundreds of psychopaths have been born and never hurt a fly, it's about upbringing and social rules, rather than some "innate need to do 'bad'".

> And, guess what, your country has come a long way from the segregation of the 60s without needing to ban jokes.

Actually, the country I live in, like most European countries, has hate speech laws. We no longer have quite as bad a problem with racism as the US does.

> And nothing says this trend won't continue.

The 915 surviving and growing white supremacy hate groups, along with the 'alt-right' (The leader of the alt-right has openly written that he wants to exterminate black people), says otherwise. That young people feel that they can support such openly racist and anti-PoC movements, says a lot about the atmosphere today.

We're not making happiness mandatory, we're making blatantly abusive speech against the law. I mean, it should be covered under the various "harassment" legislation, but shrug apparently not.

The last time I had read about this technique was in 2010. [1] Those slides are a very good explanation.

Very interesting to see it used in the wild and for a C&C.

The desk I built myself last month is a quarter the area of the room described, which actually just about matches what I could expect to get for the same rent that gets me a ~600sf apartment here in Baltimore. So I guess I'm never moving to New York!

The techniques described here are still useful, though. I've found the method of disposing of old clothes to generalize: if you have stuff you never use, put it in a box, write on the lid what's in it, and stuff it in an odd corner of a closet or somewhere else out of the way. If it's still untouched in a year, or when you find you need the space, take it to Goodwill.

Wall-mounted shelves are indeed a marvel. They're easy to build from lumber with hand tools, if you've got the space to do it; it takes time, but you can size them precisely to fit the space where you mean to put them, and for shelves of any size it's it's cheaper in the end than buying the prebuilt sort.
Unfortunately that seems to be missing the main bit one would care about, the actual map!

Interesting. I wonder if this indirectly expedited the price hike? Encryption would make it (practically) impossible for Amazon to deduplicate people's data and store it more cost efficiently.
It was somewhat amusing that one of the rented prisons is called Norgerhaven. Norge is the Norwegian name for Norway, and in old/conservative Norwegian, "have" is garden (in modern Norwegian it'd be "hage". In Norwegian it halfway sounds like someone who doesn't know Norwegian is trying to say "garden for Norwegians".

On a more serious note: The Norwegian prisoners in question actually have to volunteer, and the department of justice have made a "marketing" video to entice prisoners, which led to complaints from prisoners when it turned out they'd exaggerated a bit (some stuff was not ready when the first prisoners arrived).

Overall the attitude is very different to the US one.

> We even used some jails as temporary refugee shelter (for those horrified: prisons in The Netherlands are a lot less stark than America).

Same in Norway. Low security Norwegian prisons have fences no more than normal garden fences for example - they're there to show the prisoners how far they are allowed to go, not to physically stop them, as the type of prisoners sent to those places are more concerned about getting it over and done with than escaping. I think that is an essential element: To give people a chance wherever possible to show they can take responsibility.

More serious prisoners too can demonstrate they can be trusted and are serious about rehabilitation and get moved to prisoners without barriers that will actually hold them.

After all, if we can't trust them the day before their release, there's no reason why we should suddenly trust them the day after... I'm happy we let these prisoners gradually prove that they are likely to have reformed.

And the rehabilitation rates thankfully reflect that people respond to being treated humanely.

Maybe one day America gets over its mentality of vengeance.

I merely pointed out one plausible statistical strategy for distributing a donation if the idea is to cause an impact and not distribute the funds back to the economy more or less randomly - I have no idea what the underlying mechanism is.

"Or what about offering massive scholarships to people attending community colleges who have a helluva GPA but need help for childcare?"

That's proactive. But, then again, we know nothing on this donor.

"Maybe a place that could really use it to help those that need it most?"

And what place would that be? Who would exactly be those that 'need help most'? Where I'm from government tries to handle the material well being of those who've had the shortest end of the stick in life - no idea what charities would provide the best bang for buck in US.

I would not call spending money on science wasteful in any case.
America has institutionalized the high cost of healthcare and the healthcare lobby which profits from that is among the top 3 political donors. That maintains the status quo.

The mindset is the same as in any other country - the polls say people prefer single payer in spite of all the propaganda thrown their way.

While the UK was debating forming the NHS back in the 1940s the Conservative party fought to put in place an insurance based system largely like America has today. If they had been a little more powerful after the war the UK would likely face similar problems.

Heavy expensive machinery on private projects tends to be iddle too and planning of machinery is what I was responding to.

The construction site stops idle entirely for months issue is often that fund used to pay for construction dried out or got redirected. Or that there are legal issues to be sorted - that one happen with private companies too.

Additional work "needs to be put out to bid instead of using the on site contractor" because otherwise contractors would underestimate prices and then charge a lot more or predictable "excess". There does not even need to be bad intention originally, such system would simply favor contractor who makes bad estimates "naturally".

For me, one of the main benefits of cloud-based backup is that it's off-site - so if my house burns down, my data is still safe.
It's somewhat frustrating though when you can see that one area is 200k people and another is 50k people but the party negatively affected (someone will be) by re-drawing the boundaries to be "fairer" will scream bloody murder and claim Gerrymandering.
The only place I've ever seen private healthcare provision work about as well as public (Singapore), it was with price controls and a public at-cost option that competed with private options.

The idea that price controls don't work in America is, of course, an article of faith in the free market religion. It wouldn't fly there.

Spiraling costs is a much bigger risk in private "free market" systems, which is largely how America gets to spend 2x more of its GDP on roughly equivalent healthcare outcomes (mortality rates, etc.) to European single payer systems.

Yawn.

This isn't living in 80 square feet. This is bedrooming in 80 square feet. There's a gigantic difference.

There's no mention of cooking, bathroom, or other shared space. Congratulations, you actually live in a much larger space than you admit.

My first apartment in Paris was ~118 square feet (11m2), but that was INCLUDING a kitchenette, an enclosed bathroom (toilet, shower, and second sink), and an inward slanting wall (it was inside the building roof) which eliminated maybe a good fifth of the volume, and also no closet.

And I lived there with my partner, so there were two people sharing that space, with two peoples' worth of clothing and coats and computers and other materials and dishes and pots and pans and luggage, and two peoples' worth of constantly being in someone else's way.

And only that last detail, the constant interminable contact with another person, was difficult.

But an 8x10 bedroom for one? So?

"Grit" is more like an unwillingness to surrender to adversity.

"Care" I think is the closest monosyllabic equivalent. Diligence and attention to detail are specifically exhorted by "take care", and caution by "use care". Conversely, one may disclaim them all with "I don't care".

It's a short word and probably an old one, so it's heavily freighted with denotations and connotations alike, and finds much use outside this context. But if you want to say "conscientiousness" in fewer than five syllables - which is a sensible thing to want - then I think "care" must be the most accurate word with which to do so.

How to begin with C++: For school Students
How to begin with C++ for school students.

C++ is one of most widely used programming language be it in academic or professional domain and easy to
grasp and learn for a school student.
Very often students try to follow the rote learning methodology which leads to eventual disinterest in
programming.
A student needs to visualize and implement the knowledge he attained so that he can strengthen his logic and
basics and best method for that is to practice programming more than reading the theory.

Although it is also necessary to read the theory but maintaining a balance is more essential than doing both
things separately.

Many tutorials exist on the internet and can be used for efficiently like
1)	Udemy.
2)	Coursera.
3)	Cplusplus docs.
4)	GeeksForGeeks School programming.

Udemy and Coursera comprise of Video lectures and Cplusplus docs are just the documentations.

GeeksForGeeks School programming is a newly introduced module that serves the purpose of practice and learning together at one place.
It comprises of well-structured standard topics needed to get hold over the basics.
Most interesting and state of the art feature of this module is that it consists of various practice problems alongside which can be practiced alongside on the IDE.
Also it contains a very rich and extensive repository of the famous questions that are asked in secondary and senior secondary school level so you can practice all of them at one place.

Completion of this module can guarantee you of one thing that you will have your fundamentals crystal clear and will be capable enough to proceed further.

There are many more resources available and can be chosen according to the students discretion.

European view: the US in general seems to have a really procedurally-oriented way of doing things. There are good sides to this but it does sometimes break down: in particular the legal system seems to focus a lot more on whether the process was followed rather than taking a step back and asking whether this is the just outcome.

I understand the rationale for low-bid rules. But actually the US has pretty low corruption and a good public work culture; IMO those rules do more harm than good. If you were willing to trust the people evaluating the bids a little more and empower them to use their judgement and pick the overall best bid (and maybe pay them a little more), you'd get better outcomes.
I think their point was that it is outside of their control. Protect themselves from someone downloading this and installing it into their dumb pipeline.
I think this is a good basic and relatively low-tech strategy.

Do you do versioning? As in what happens if your files are silently corrupted e.g. by accident or by malware? Rsync would overwrite your files, and you might even overwrite your off-site backup when you connect it.

My main reason for going beyond such a set-up though is that it takes time, effort and remembering to sync the off-site backup by taking it home, syncing and putting it back. And during that time all your data is in the same place. If something happens to your home during that time (break-in, flooding, fire...) you're out of luck. Unless your rsync'd drives are also encrypted and you just switch one of them with the off-site one for rotation.

Toward non-blocking asynchronous I/O
The common case of "bundling" is just concatenating files, which works fine if people add their damned semicolons.

To quote the author:
"not using any semicolons at all is a very popular trend in JS these days, so it is very possible this problem might happen in the real world"

This is the crux of the problem. Javascript programmers often follow trends, not sane practice. Looking at the code, for some reason there's a semi-colon before "require" invocations as well.
