> The closer I get to purchasing a house the more I find myself pushing against measures like this. NIMBY exists to protect most people's largest financial asset.

Of course it's rational to push against decreased supply of an asset when you're buying one; but that's not a sufficient argument for making that desire government policy. I'm sure that it's nice to have convinced the state from preventing other people from building dense/tall housing on their own property, since it makes your asset more valuable than it'd otherwise be, but the effects of that policy on non-homeowners are absolutely horrendous.

The consequences of limited housing supply/density in US cities have been pretty nasty, between shitty dysfunctional transit systems, pathologically high rents (a complete apartment is cheaper in Tokyo than the cheapest form of housing in this city, namely a room in someone else's house), and a ghastly homelessness crisis.

Your overinvestment into certain asset classes doesn't mean the rest of us should suffer the consequences of artificially limited supply in that asset. Other countries manage to have better cities (with cheaper rents!) than US without NIMBY-enabling zoning laws, so it's not like this sort of land-use law is inherently necessary.
It's nice to hear a success story about Redis Cluster. When I worked at Eventbrite we used Redis heavily, both for the usual use cases (caching, ephemeral storage like sessions) as well as at the core of services like reserved seating. We did our own sharding client side as a layer on top of the redis-py library and relied on sentinel to handle failover. After Redis Cluster was released, we had some interest in it, but were were nervous enough about the limitations in its capabilities and the additional complexity of operating it that we never experimented with it.

These things just appeared overnight a month ago. The city has no clue what they should do about them yet.
In all of Eastern Russia, finding shell fragments, bullets, bayonets, helmets, and human bones is quite common to this day. Almost every place was an area of fighting of executions at some point in the last 100 years.

Countless millions of people were killed - not known even to the million precision - in many wars and terror campaigns there during XX century.
A paranoid person might conclude that there's an industrial scale effort to distract the population from any issue that might be even tangentially related to their real interests; e.g. their survival and that of their children.

> I would be shocked if there's any fossil fuel generation online in 10 years, 15 tops.

What? Fossil fuel usage has increased not just in china but around the world.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bp_world_energy_consumpti...

It's far more likely that solar will disappear than fossil fuel usage especially with china wanting to urbanize another 500 million people and India, ASEAN and Africa looking to industrialize.

> the rate of solar being installed isn't slowing down

It has slowed down tremendously. Seems like you haven't been paying attention, but the solar industry has collapsed around the world. Elon Musk even had to bail out Solar City.

What's with the ideologues. It's either the peak oil fanatics or the renewable evangelicals.

The only way we aren't using fossil fuels in 10 years is if civilization collapses.

Agree and Rust's biggest benefit to me over most other languages, is being able to give ownership of a mutable structure away, and knowing at compile stage that every part of the program but the receiver loses access to make further modifications to that data. Then the receiver doesn't have to make a defensive copy (which is easy to forget and often hurts performance), or deal with immutable structures where they aren't performant or natural. I'm hoping some easier languages can add this ability - I think Swift might be planning to do some form of this IIRC, hoping to see some other languages follow.

Intel's already tried CPU DLC with the Pentium G6951 back in 2010, you could buy a $50 upgrade card that would unlock hyper threading and extra L1 cache. Plus there's now the VROC hardware keys to unlock NVMe RAID support on X299 CPU's.

Microtransactions were the next step for the gaming industry after traditional expansion packs and then DLC, let's just hope we don't get CPU loot boxes (though I guess we already have that simply due to the silicon lottery, eh?).

Can you clarify what you object to in that statement?

I think we've all been in a scenario where a manager or group project member gets praised for all their hard work, when everyone in the room knows they didn't do very much.

It's entirely possible this is what South Korea is doing here. Trump's well known to be easy to negotiate with if his ego is stroked, and quick to anger if it isn't. SK risks nothing by praising him, even if it's not fully warranted... and diplomats are pretty used to mouthing bullshit.

What exactly is your criticism? That they published the original story? There's no such thing as perfection. It was caught and corrected. They seem to be operating at much higher than a "basic" level to me.
The original appears to be a piece called "Fog" by Mac Rebisz:

https://www.artstation.com/artwork/Dxk4E

It's been commonly used in web pieces about the Zone Rouge, but there doesn't appear to be any real connection. (And some of the details of the piece make no sense in that context, like the unburied corpse in the foreground or the heavily armed figure on the left side.)
When I did keto, the biggest thing for me was that while I eventually got hungry, it wasn't like one of those "gnawing at your gut" types of hungry. It was very mild. Problem with keto for a lot of people is that they don't consider the problems that a lack of soluble fiber in their diets can cause. I love salads and pickled veggies so it wasn't a big issue for me (I also ate some chia seeds once a day), but others would probably have issues.

I absolutely believe it's possible for Trump to achieve things. (Good, and bad.)

If you're arguing that no computation should be proprietary, ever... okay. Not opening that discussion right now.

I think you're right that averages are not useful when scores are bimodal since that basically means there are two distinct populations being observed, and what is more important is what population you belong to.

I think the existence of this bimodal distribution is at least consistent with the "haters gaming the system" theory, though not conclusive.

The IMDB ratings for the last jedi do not seem to exhibit such a strong bimodal distribution: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2527336/ratings?ref_=tt_ov_rt

Which I think leads more credence to the theory that haters are overrepresented in the rotten tomatoes numbers.
We do know some one in US put a lot of effort, esp. was behind sending three aircraft carriers into the region. Has done enough posturing but had incredibly held back so the situation does not escalate and talked with Chinese to impose and/or stick with sanctions. I do not know who it was, its most likely a huge team of people. All this happened after the State department was purged of his high level officials.

What I know is this, there is a huge team of American civilian and military that worked hard to tackle the DPRK problem and have achieved or at least partially achieved their objective. At the very top level these men and women are lead by one guy, Donald J Trump.

Hooray! GIMP is probably one of the top 5 pieces of software I think of when I'm in an evangelistic mood about open source. There's just something so beautiful about providing such easy access to creative tools.

Congrats to the GIMP team!

>North Korea is utterly untrustworthy on this of course

Maybe, but compared to who? It was the US that introduced nuclear weapons into Korea and broke the armistice, not NK. A fair deal would require the US to pull back first as they are the big stumbling block in this whole situation and always have been.

Make the service "worse" because the potential for wide abuse is present.

Finding a fine line is probably what's required. Having your tool suffer DDoS from known exploit vectors harms all the legitimate users at the expense of some bot-writer's pleasure.

Arguably this is the basis of many laws that govern our lives. Lots of rules are in place and enforced because individuals found ways to ruin things for everyone else
And I think the fact they have to respect the requests regardless of where the European individual is today (eg in the US at time of posting but still a French national). I think enough companies are aware they don’t want to blanket blacklist all requests from Europe along with the mix of EU visitors, it makes it impossible to decern what rules applies where. I wonder if we’ll start to see US based users claim they are European to attempt to remove references, how would a tech company decern between legit and illegit requests (asking for proof of ID creates yet another potential storage of EU data). I suspect most companies won’t vet the requests and just comply or risk the potential huge fines

Press shift.
In general, you can't control how an email will travel from the original sender's system to your own, or from your own to its final recipient. Such is the nature of SMTP. A lot of modern email systems will be encrypting their connections on various hops, but it's not something you can guarantee for mail that leaves your own organisation, and even if all of the hops were encrypting the data in motion, there are still plenty of vulnerabilities while the data is at rest anywhere along the way.

In short, banks sending out PDF statements by email would be dangerous, as sillysaurus3 originally implied.
Of course it's important to distinguish between the YIMBYs and the Yes In Your Backyard types, who typically masquerade as the former.

> This is especially true when it comes to the more complicated ones like moves and futures, but also true for simpler ones like borrows. What I didn’t know when I wrote about it in frustration a month ago is that it doesn’t take a little longer longer to be effective in Rust compared to other languages, it takes 10 to 20 times longer.

I think futures might be exacerbating the authors problems. There was a recent post [0] that does a good job explaining why futures are so hard and how the in-progress async/await features fix it.

* Translation services, not only English-Korean but I suppose that for most North Korean people, modern South Korean looks a bit foreign.

* You can look at China, now that they have less military pressure on their frontier with North Korea, they will need logistics to inundate North Korean markets. They will also need middle-men.

* You can invest in resources (books/media) that would help North Korea to convince South Korea on many difficult/political topics.
But if they are sexually attracted to children and are "evil", then the creation of the videos and photos are just a "side-effect", the abuse probably would have taken place regardless, right? I had people telling me that possession of child pornography leads to child abuse, what do you think? I watch gore videos[1] sometimes online and I don't want to hurt people. I watch them to remind me that there are many violent people and places out there, that not everything is butterflies and sunshine. It makes me introspect. It makes me value the society that I live in that shelters me, and makes me realize how lucky I am.

EDIT: Actually, I'm trying to come up with reasons that apply to child pornography but without any success. Not saying that they are not going to offer you a "reasonable" insight, but at this moment I can't think of anything. Perhaps something anatomy related? Medical value/curiosity?

On another note: yeah, people do crazy shit for the likes and subscribers, it's pathetic and sickening. All those challenges, etc. Ugh. I try to avoid that side of the Internet. Is it just me or is there really a decline? Yesterday I read how in UK schools they had to remove analog clocks because kids couldn't tell the time off it.

I don't know, I know so many parents who are doing a great job. Their kids don't care much about social media, they are not interested in getting likes, not interested in being YouTubers, know the potential dangers of the Internet, and so on.

[1] Albeit I don't download them, but at the same time you can probably do the same with child pornography, though from a technical point of view you probably have them cached which could be considered possession I guess.

Privacy Fears Over DNA Website Used to Capture Golden State Killer Suspect
Two main things. First, North Korea can now semi-credibly threaten to nuke the US, which makes invading them tantamount to political suicide in the US. It’s likely their nuke would fail or miss or be intercepted, but no President wants to be the guy that got Hawaii or San Francisco nuked.

This has always been the end-game for rogue states, and means Kim Jong-Un is basically home free. If we wanted to get rid of him we missed that opportunity when we let them get nukes.

Second, South Korea elected a liberal president as a reaction to the previous conservative president who was involved in a giant scandal. He had a strong mandate to negotiate.

Trump played a part as well, but it’s not immediately clear how much of an effect his policies had. On the other hand the first two things I mentioned are unambiguously big.

To put some numbers on this... there's 3500 calories in a pound. If we assume a person burns 2000 calories in a day then a 30 day fast is 60,000 calories or 17 pounds.

The average height of a man in the US is 5'10". The difference between the low end of normal BMI to high end of normal is 132-167, or 35lbs. So even a person at the high end of normal BMI could easily fast for 30 days without going underweight.
