Awk is not limited to $0 to $9; where did you get that??? Maybe you're confusing this with register substitutions in regex: \1 through \9.

The nice thing about the @F array is that @F[0] doesn't represent the whole record.

There is a class of Awk bugs whereby arithmetic is being done on the parameters using $N (where N is some calculated variable containing an integer). Everything is fine when N >= 1, but if there is a bug where N is accidentally zero, then $N refers to the whole record instead of throwing an out-of-bounds error.

And things are accidentally zero quite easily in awk, e.g.

awk '{print $X}' # X is undefined so serves as zero; this prints all lines

Which is probably why I never qualified “minority” with “small”.

Right. My understanding is that the clever bit of CAP is that, from the perspective of a single node, a true network partition is indistinguishable from a bunch of nodes failing simultaneously. If, as a node, you find yourself in a minority network (and cannot make quorum) you need to decide what to do.

Maybe you are on the losing side of a split, and there is a set of nodes out there that can make quorum.

Or maybe 51% of the nodes crashed and what you see is all that is left of the cluster.

Whatever you decide, it has to work for both those possibilities.

So are you interpreting Brewer as saying, in practice we never have a split. Just assume what you see is all there is of the network. However, Spanner is a CP system. If you are willing to assume you will never need to merge inconsistent data, wouldn't you go for AP?

It's a safer bet that healthy people are more likely to be moderate drinkers than it is to assume moderate drinking will extend your life.
Well, the default is that TLS traffic cannot be decrypted or interfered with without detection, so no eavesdropping. A proxy can relay traffic at the TCP layer, but it won't be able to see any of the information (except for the parts that are not encrypted).

If you do want to eavesdrop, you have several options. For one, you can terminate the TLS traffic, access it, then create another entirely separate TLS session to send it elsewhere. This is easier with a reverse proxy, in which case the proxy is the server. If you want to transparently intercept client-initiated sessions you have to install your root CA key in each client device.

Going back to servers, another option is private RSA key sharing, which allows for passive decryption, but works only with the RSA key exchange. Finally, you can also play with session ticket keys. If you share those, and enable session tickets, you'll also be able to passively decrypt. This last option works even with DHE/ECDHE key exchanges.
A lot of that article is bullshit. In particular the study it refers to has been debunked a few times. Here's one, but there are many others: https://psmag.com/social-justice/put-down-the-booze-drinking...
It's true, the less money you have the more time you have to spend on the basics. As much as I love laundry and housekeeping services, if I'm not making income they're gone and there's 4 hours a week I now have to spend to be clean. No credit card? No Amazon Prime delivery, needs more time to go to the market +1hr/day. No money for quality restaurant food? Time to start going to farmers' markets and learning to cook, +2hr/day... etc. Car service? LOL. No cash to load Clipper? Hours of travel time. Medical care? I pity the fool.

> In the actual scientific world, studies have been mixed since forever on the subject, with moderate wine drinking for example having shown in many studies favourable results for cardiovascular health and other aspects. Also many places with the most long-lived people on earth have big wine drinking populations (e.g. Icaria).

everything here is irrelevant. drinking has no benefits compared to water. period. again, would you give a little kid a beer for the purported "benefits"? No. Because you know it's not better than the alternative.

also, there's no proof alcohol is the reason. perhaps it's the social ties that alcohol can help form. regardless, alcohol has little (if any) health benefit, compared to drinking good 'ol water.

you claim drinking is good, OK, bring the proof. I claim it's bad. easy to prove: drunkenness, brain toxicity, decision inhibition, to start. not to mention the ability to kill you much easier than water from consistent consumption.

> Anyone who disagrees even for casual drinking is probably too afraid of dying -- but they are gonna die the same as everybody else anyway, and often having lived shorter lives than many of their drinking friends.

don't b silly. your rationalization of bad behavior is amusing. reminds me of my homeless friend who does cocaine. there are also people who don't drink who live longer than people who do. the point isn't longevity. the point is -- is alcohol what does it? the answer is a resounding "no." everything you're saying here was said about tobacco.

I think you make a good point. Too often people want their food to look good and taste perfect. The key to getting better at cooking and doing it well is to accept that there WILL be accidents, your food WILL NOT taste/look the same as restaurant food right away.

So, when I look at what Norway has done with its oil money, I wonder what prevented communities like these from doing the same thing. Removal of the coal from the ground generated excess value, otherwise the mines would have lost money and been closed already. Where did this excess value actually flow? Did the community actually capture enough of the value flow to change its fate? Or did it only capture enough to survive, and now since that value flow is ending so does its survival?

In this setting, "risk factor" means "associated." It does not mean causes, and it really misinforms the public to jump to that. Even if the authors strongly suggest causation, but stop short, the most that should go in the headline is "Study strong suggests that moderate drinking causes.."

Jumping to conclusions in the popular press hurts the reputation of scientists. Journalists and editors have been doing this for years, especially on topics that sell papers, specifically what to eat and what to not eat, how to gain or lose weight, or how to live longer.

Keep in mind their pint (568ml, per paper) is an imperial pint (19.2 fl oz) and not an American pint (16 fl oz).

So, in US terms, UK guidance is ~5 pints and US/men is ~8.5 pints. Not a huge difference in terms of point made, but mostly so the message doesn't get garbled over the pond.

Also, their "high strength beer" in the paper (5.2%) is pretty much normal for American lager, so don't get thrown off by the high strength bit.
And I can say the same about Facebook. They have kept me in touch with friends and family that I would have no relationship with at this point if it wasn't for Facebook's absurd levels of adoption (which is driven by an amazing product, which surprisingly has to be said since a lot of people here on HN like to discredit the technological / design achievements of companies like FB, Twitter, etc...)

I mean, you could even argue that the levels of adoption that they have achieved is a hugely positive thing in itself. If those 2B people were scattered across multiple platforms, you would not be able to have one platform which is basically guaranteed to be used by the vast majority of the people you encounter.
As a stats man, before I read the article I said to myself: "bet it's from a survey".

With that kind of methodology, I imagine the "moderate" drinkers are going to contain the group of people who said they (frequently) drink, but not that much. I'd be willing to bet there will be a relationship between reporting that you drink frequently and the negative effects of alcohol that will outweigh the attempt to self report how much you drink (because the latter won't be reported accurately, but people who don't drink will tend to more accurately report and select themselves out into another category. Not only is it easier to self report whether you are a non drinker/drinker than it is to report you are a moderate/heavy drinker, I imagine there's also another confounding effect coming through given that there generally has to be something exceptional about you to be a non-drinker in our societies.

Self-disclosure: practically a non-drinker, nothing ideologically against it. Might have a beer every two months socially with food.

Thoughts? Especially from anyone reading the actual study?
Now, how would you define "safe level alcohol consumption"? Are you satisfied with just still being alive the next day after you had a drink? Or do you want to avoid long term negative effects like cirrhosis, cardiovascular disease, cognitive impairment?

For me the "poison" is a substance that when ingested has a significant detrimental effect on one's health. Until recently there was a myth that moderate consumption is harmless, or even beneficial. The research like this show that even small dosages have negative effects. Moderate drinking might not kill you immediately, but still it is healthier choice to avoid alcohol completely.

That's a little uncharitable. NIMBYism is bad, sure, but it might enable building massive tech companies that provide massive consumer surpluses. How much you value "area supports the next Google" versus "area has 500k additional residents at reasonable housing costs", along with how much these trade off against each other, is an open question.

It's funny but it's probably fairly accurate. Two 12oz 5% beers per day is not exactly extreme, and evidently many people drink 'this much' without terrible consequences. Articles like this cater mostly to people who are obsessed with articles like this.

Interestingly, Google Shopping (when it was Froogle) used to be quite good - back when any eCommerce site could just send in the feed of their stock.

At some point they moved towards Google Checkout (Google Merchant/Wallet?) verification and the number of stores you could actually find with it dropped dramatically.

Now it's just high street retailers, a handful of the bigger online places and eBay. Not only is it not as useful, it's killed off the sites that came before it as they tried to adapt and survive.

Oh yeah, that was something they complained about a lot with mandatory PFS in the TLSWG. :-(

Why do they need this for their consumer-facing sites, though? The theory over in the working group was about monitoring activities of bank employees on third-party web sites (I thought), rather than about monitoring activities of bank customers on the bank's own web site.

Exactly. My point is that, if this is an ideology, it's not consistent. If people want to live in a world where things that are easy to duplicate (music, movies, etc.) are created by talented people who need to make a living, then there has to be a way to pay for it. We need a replacement for copyright.
It's really not so simple as this. It's really dim under the sea ice and these divers have used strobes and floodlights to pick out subjects in a dramatic way. On that front I don't think the images required much tampering with. It's just a photographic way of trying to convey the grandeur and beauty you'd experience if you were actually there.

In terms of how "vivid" the photos are, the problem is often quite the other way around to how you put it.

I've spent a lot of time exploring jungles and coral reefs, marvelling at the divesity of nature, all the jewel-like lifeforms on display. It's very difficult to capture with a camera what your eyes perceive as brilliant coloration and exquisitely contrasted form. Your visual system makes many profound processing adjustments based on your total lighting environment: chromatic adaptation, simultaneous contrast, perceptual constancy, and so on. You perceive a green insect on a green leaf as vivid and striking when you're in the jungle with it, but dull when looking at the correctly exposed photo you took of it.

Not to mention your vision has a larger dynamic range than a camera sensor and a wider color gamut than a typical computer screen.

Crude postprocessing will attempt to correct for this by just pumping up saturation, which is maybe what you're complaining about on Instagram. But the best nature photography compensates in other, more subtle and appropriate ways, and the result approaches the wonder we experience "in real life".

As I explained in another comment, Scheme is indeed dynamically-typed (like Nix), but it's also strongly typed: one can define new data types, they are disjoint, and there can be no casts and the like. In Guix "packages" and "operating systems" are different types, you get a type error if you use one instead of the other; in Nix both are "attribute sets" (key/value dictionaries.)

I think the one-type-fits-all ("attribute sets") vs. strong typing (disjoing record types) axis matters more than the static vs. dynamic axis here because most of the code (OS config files, package definitions, etc.) is loaded dynamically.

While the R&D tax credit is not new, one of the tweaks was not a slight change.
