Cost Milano, 27 e 28 aprile: aperitivo, dinner show and dj set
I’m worried about what will happen when NK inevitably backtracks and fails to deliver on promises of denuclearization.

If Trump is still in office at that time, he’ll look back to the 2017 brinkmanship as a triumph and want to overdo himself somehow. With hawks like Bolton offering him advice, who knows how far it can go?
So Kim's nuclear test site collapsed, likely destroying years of work, necessary equipment and possibly hit trained human personnel, so he suddenly went on a "tour for peace". Can't say I am unhappy.

>we don't yet have the tools or the data to understand well enough how something like THC affects motor skills like we do with alcohol, but someday I expect we will.

We do have some understanding and data: very slightly, the most consistently measurable affect being minimally impared depth perception. Treating marijuana intoxication as a high risk imparment to motor function is making a mountain out of a mole hill. Relating the equation of motor function impairment caused by marijuana to that of alcohol or for that matter many other intoxicants (including a multitude of very commonly used pharmaceuticals and stimulants) sure seems a bit ignorant or uninformed to me. I'm not advocating marijuana use, especially when performing potentially dangerous actions that require attention and possibly urgent corrective action (driving, operating dangerous equiptment, performing surgery, etc.). But do consider there's plenty of professional athletes who have preformed some of the highest level coordination, precision and reaction time dependant functions of humanity while being under the influence of THC. Sorry to rant, but I think it's important to remember that people using alcohol cause an awful lot of harmful, deadly, and easily avoidable accidents. DUI's and similar restrictions are a direct result of that fact. I've looked for but have never seen evidence that shows an even remotely similar risk from THC consumption. If anyone is aware of data indicating otherwise, please share.
Couldn’t this be seen as identify theft? It is like saying. I am John Doe from Bakers Street except that a complete DNA sample would be even more conclusive (I.e. impossible to accidentally to use to hide one’s identity).
Unfortunately that isn't what higher education is today, because it's become so much a business/customer relationship from being tied to employment.

I think we could see a lot of benefit from separating an institute for higher academic pursuits from the employment and status market entirely, though I don't really have a good idea for how to go about doing that.
Why don’t you just bank elsewhere?
Freedom undoubtedly is a spectrum and something that is worked towards, not just attained with the flip of a light switch. It’s also forever a process, so let us wish for NKs people that this is one early step on the journey
Swift for Tensorflow or Tensorflow for Swift?
What changed that North Korea would be serious this time? I can't think of much. On the contrary, they seem stronger. Maybe they feel they have enough to negotiate more favorable terms than ever before. Maybe the borders have become so porous to outside information coming in that they feel change is inevitable so they'd do better to be in front of it.

I can't get past that on a personal level, the decision-makers, in particular Kim Jong Un's family, are responsible for many people's suffering and deaths, which I would think would make them fear too much freedom among the survivors. People hunted Nazis for generations. Wouldn't the North Korean decision-makers fear being hunted?

Meanwhile, China has been invaded more than once from the Korean peninsula. How willing will they be to lose a buffer between themselves and U.S. military bases?
Seconded. I've listened to the entire series 2 or three times now. I put it on when I go to sleep. His other stuff is good too. He puts out a lot of material.
Alongside this, it's all down to risk.

I have limited experience with financial systems (zero directly working with banks), but I've noticed a trend where institutions are willing to take huge gambles with the integrity and security of their systems if the risk isn't that great.

For them, risk was losing money, and while you'd think that having severe downtime or awful security practices would result in losing money, I didn't meet a single manager that believed this. They were happy to cut corners wherever because it got the job done faster, and under budget, and that's what they were judged on.

A mate of mine worked for a large UK-based bank, and pretty much confirmed this for me when we asked about what it was like to build web services for a huge bank. From the outside, their devs were the cream of the crop. Oxbridge educated, some ex Google or Microsoft guys, and years of experience in building huge systems, but a management culture that saw them as code monkeys, and wanted work delivered that was an inch off of negligent if it meant it was done quick.

The risk to the managers was their job, but from an upper management perspective all that mattered was whether it would directly affect the bottom line in an obvious (non-tech) way. Bugs, security breaches, or poor availability didn't affect this, and were worthwhile risks.
As someone who hires, I like to see dates because I want someone that has a track history of sticking around for a while. I don’t want to waste effort on someone that has a history of changing jobs every year or two. Dates help show that.

The only difference between law and programming is a regulation forcing you to join a trade association which imposes a formal test for admittance prior to practicing law. Technical knowledge of dejure laws (formally passed), regulations (explicitly stated, but under the license of a law where they are given effect), defacto laws (rulings or case law), and their interplay is extremely similar to knowledge of RFCs, APIs, tooling systems, and their interplay.

This has nothing to do with microservices and everything to do with lack of skill, proper engineering and chaos in IT departments of almost all banks. You can write and deploy (don't forget about the fact developers aren't skilled in ops at all and that's a common cause for these things) good software in microservices and monolith architectures, you just need to know what are you doing.

Monzo/Mondo had issues on their own, and in fact they have very frequent issues with their payment processors.

> Banks are of systemic importance.

Banks also have lots of money to buy political influence. Underregulating an industry with systemic importance invites disaster when component failure becomes cascading failure. But sane regulations, difficult to achieve for any industry, are especially challenging for banking, and then even more difficult to maintain.

Ah, OK. Both on UK soil and in continental Europe, I see. Yes, that's quite possible, since other than that there's only Gibraltar, I think.

(Though, off-topically, I don't necessarily buy the "UK soil" part. Supposedly even the "embassies are foreign soil" thing is more of an urban legend than legal reality. Also, the monument being the property of the UK should be enough to block its destruction.)
Signs of a QA team that only unit tests or only is allowed to unit test to a change management system that is too easily bypassed.

Like the Civil Service, the senior ranks are selected by where their parents sent them to school, and how well they learned to conjugate Latin verbs while they were there. Technical skill is not only viewed with contempt it is actually a bar to promotion.

Investment banking is actually a lot saner - Thatcher’s reforms in the 80s went a long way towards destroying the Old Boys Network in that industry niche.

That's not how underground nuclear testing works. The bombs are not developed or stored inside the mountain where they test. There would have been no one inside the mountain during the test. The mountain collapsed during the test. Kim probably thinks that his bombs are powerful enough and reliable enough for him to have a strong negotiating position.
A possibly highly irrational US president in a world where other US ground conflicts are winding down? I wonder this too. I expect we won't really know until we have a decade or two of hindsight to try to understand.
I don’t mind that they experiment, but not building wrong expectations is important. Without this illusion of choice, they might be more satisfied with an average guy.

They might settle younger, spend time building the relationship with a man who’ll enjoy paying for her studies and who will remember her beauty for the rest of his life; and both will rise in their career by receiving more affection in their 20ies. Then at 30 have kids, without the impression of having lost her youth like when you have the illusion of choice, and without the impression of getting second-hand goods with a lot of baggage (fat on one side, kids pension on the other).

Can we remove the illusion of choice without removing freedom? That’s the problem with traditionalists. But I’m convinced we should at least try to convey the message, so little girls know where not to fall, or explain that the Charming Prince doesn’t exist. But we’re far, far from having a discussion like this is the current education.

And somehow the bachelor carousel is more attractive. Humans. (I’m joking, I know both genders are desperate in such situations, one of the big problems being the illusion of choice).
Is this a known fact or hypothesis?
Many people think of “freedom” in collectivist terms. North Korea isn’t controlled by any foreign power, so they have that form of freedom.

You (and I) probably don’t think too much of that compared with the sort of freedom that lets you criticize the government without your entire family being sent to a camp, but not everybody thinks that way.

Well, can we buy the NK leadership out? By that I mean convince them to get on a path of full integration with the South leading. It would take some guarantees of protection from prosecution and as well insuring their lifestyles. All costs well worth it to free a nation from the situation they are in.

Nazis were a special case. Most of the time those who served a tyrannical government get to go on with their lives and adapt to the circumstances. For example, Russia’s current ersatz Tsar is a former Soviet KGB agent.

The NK leadership could be envisioning a state like Russia with a market economy and many theoretical freedoms, but practically controlled by a mob-like oligarchy that entwines personal and military interests.
Redux Source Review – createStore
I can't find the article, but I read a while back a number of cases where certain heads of states denuclearized. Then the US left them high and dry when the tides turned and they were killed either by another country or by their own people who were angry about all the past oppression. Kim Jong Un is exactly in the second potential situation if he denuclearizes.
I agree with you entirely, but even then someone somewhere overruled those security auditors, right?

And if this job was falling behind, they may have contracted additional developers who came in to do work in a hurry, which can lead to an even worse and misaligned codebase, etc..
I've read things that stated the opposite was true for men, that their natural urge is to have sex, not to create children.

The children are just the product of successful sex, and we are just vessels for our genes.

My own experience confirms this, as I greatly desire sex and have no inclination whatsoever to have children. Though before the advent of contraception I likely would have ended up with children regardless because I pursued sex so much.
>I'm not in a different domain;

The "domain" doesn't have to necessarily mean different disciplines such as "game programming" is one domain and "online shopping" is another domain.

Thanks to montrose's reminder, I cite PG's "On Lisp" page 5 (which appears immediately after the "Programming Bottom-Up" section):

>We transform our software from a mere program into a _programming language_, and advanced users can build upon it the extra features that they need. [...] The simplest bottom-up programs consist of two layers: language and program. Complex programs may be written as a series of layers, each one acting as a programming language for the one above. If this philosophy is carried all the way up to the topmost layer, that layer becomes a programming language for the user.

Also in section "1.4 Extending Lisp" page 7:

>Lisp is an excellent language for writing compilers and interpreters, but it offers another way of defining a new language which is often more elegant and certainly much less work: to define the new language as a modification of Lisp. Then the parts of Lisp which can appear unchanged in the new language (e.g.
arithmetic or I/O) can be used as is, and you only have to implement the parts
which are different (e.g. control structure). A language implemented in this way
is called an _embedded language_. Embedded languages are a natural outgrowth of bottom-up programming.

Yes, the 1993 time period predates today's "DSL" meme but now that "DSL" has permeated into widespread programmers' awareness, is there a better label to describe those PG paragraphs? I argue that today, people would rewrite PGs technique in their mind as "layering DSLs".

Article didn't stop to get into why that happened. Were there just more qualified men in the applicant pool than women?
I might agree but this is monumental that a North Korean leadership crossed the line. So while there is PR involved it is still historic and represents a real change.

Likely it is because North Korea feels they have a real bargaining position with their ability to use nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles. Combined with a US administration which didn't roll over and it all sets the stage for both sides saving face
There must be chemistry. Compatible minds, attraction, love/lust, ... luck, whatever chemistry really is.
If feelings aren't mutual, then I don't see the point of it.

I've turned down worthy people, I've been turned down by less-worthy ones, and reverse. It doesn't matter. I don't have any regrets.

Programmers, like all people, can be good looking, physically fit, not socially awkward(?:, successful, financially stable/rich, confident, healthy, faithful, non-promiscuous, happy, etc., etc.)? and good in bed. The exact opposite can also happen. Most times it's a variable combination and that's just the way it is. That is how nature works.

Tastes and opinions (not only prejudices) can change and people can find themselves compromising as they grow older. This is what matters to me, I don't want to see myself regretting choices related to my love life.
Of course not.

Unlike ancestry websites, the purpose of bone marrow database is not to connect users to relatives. Police don't have the ability to send crime scene data into the bone marrow registry and get back "here's the subject's siblings." I don't even think you're allowed to meet someone you're matched with and donate bone marrow to; for at least several years, if not forever.

The police literally uses the website as designed: "here's DNA; get back known close relatives."

https://bethematch.org/privacy/

Edit: looks like they used an "open source" genealogy DNA website GEDMatch; not one of the commercial ones: https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2018/04/26/ancestry-23andme-den...

"Lead investigator Paul Holes, a cold case expert and retired Contra Costa County District Attorney inspector, said his team’s biggest tool was GEDmatch, a Florida-based website that pools raw genetic profiles that people share publicly. No court order was needed to access that site’s large database of genetic blueprints. Other major private DNA ancestral sites said they were not approached by police for this case."

GED Match describes itself as such - "GEDmatch provides DNA and genealogical analysis tools for amateur and professional researchers and genealogists."
30 minutes on a treadmill stops them for me. Even while they’re really bad, force yourself to do it (only if they are really pvcs and not afib).
It should be noted that i3wm installs and runs easily on distros such as Ubuntu and Fedora too - which is how I was introduced to it (after liking the tiling aspects from Unity, but not the graphics card/RAM hit that came with it).

The i3 edition of Manjaro is heavily customised and almost an entirely different beast (i3-gaps etc).

This is the piece that swung me: https://adereth.github.io/blog/2013/10/02/why-you-should-try...

It mentions notion so I tried that for about 2 days before taking up a comment's suggestion to try i3.

Edit: I don't think there's an official guide for actually installing i3, but the official fedora blog has a good one. Searching for "install i3wm ubuntu" (or arch) would likely also show some good default setups.

I think a missile designer did this one time. The missile wasn't expected to exist very long after it was turned on, so they cranked up the power on the CPU and didn't include much of a heatsink. Saved weight but testing was very expensive.

It seems possible that the deadline could not be adjusted - they were running on infrastructure that was not their own but rented for a limited time from their old owner, who is now their competitor (and has no interest in their success). As the time agreed during the restructuring runs out, they likely don't have the option of continuing as before for some time more, either they switch to something new, no matter how bad it is, or shut down.

I talked to a "wall expert" in college who mentioned the severe strain East Germany was on West Germany after reunification, because of the economic disparity.

Her theory was that reunification of the Koreas would be very messy given the economic disparity between the two nations, and that SK doesn't want it.

That being said I would hope that NK actually goes along with joint projects with its neighbors. Not like the aid will stop if they're more amicable.
