Yes once you unblocked the planning process then you would get a lot of building since you would open up a lot of land that right now can’t be developed due to local opposition. It would also lower the barriers to entry for new developers as more would start to look outside their immediate area where they have their corrupt local government connections.

The end result is everyone should win - communities get the development that want, landowners get a higher price, and the honest developers can compete with the corrupt. The only losers are the corrupt.

I recently heard about Russian cosmonauts eating a lot of dill to counteract farting. It's apparently called a carminative, and seaweed is a carminative too.
That's really weird. I just submitted my first album to DistroKid about 4 hours ago and it's already up. Waaaaay quicker than I thought it was going to be.

I think most folks here (and who care elsewhere) get the gist and impact of net neutrality. There's quite a few discussions that seem to illustrate their knowledge pretty clearly. You just have to read them. I mean can you honestly recite the regulations? Would that disqualify your opposition to it?

The gist of your position seems to be the supporters are dumb and you generally don't like government regulation .... and the rest honestly seem like handed out talking points about things like "couldn't get it through congress" in an article about congressional action.
It's also very easy to fake/attack. Sybils in this system would not be difficult to spin up.

In an integer column in a relational database, what is the alternative of having null?

0 is not an option, as that will return incorrect mean/median calculations. So what would be there? Or am I misunderstanding?
Yeah, I have this intuition that options create there own horde of problems because of the way that map/<$> propagate None so that, once you get an unexpected None, it becomes harder to trace the source of the problem. A null pointer exception or segfat, on the other hand, will give you a stack trace or similar that will help you pinpoint the source of the problem.
> I know everyone has there own work flows, but how can you even keep track of that many tabs?

You don't.

You just push new tabs onto the stack. When you're done with a topic, you start popping those tabs until you're back at the previous topic.

Then that previous topic is either something unrelated which you wanted to read later, so you just leave it there. Or it's whatever you were researching before you had to look up something that's mentioned in the text, meaning that you now know this thing and can continue working on the previous topic.

You never have to know what your tabs to the left contain. You only care for the last handful of tabs to the right, which you can use as if those tabs to the left wouldn't exist (well, on Firefox at least, on Chrome they become unreadable).

It's not fair you're being down voted, because you're absolutely right. I subscribe to both Tidal and Spotify, and Tidal has vastly better quality music (plus a bunch of artists that are not on Spotify...).

If people are listening through some 'Beats by Dr Dre', or Airpods ,or linking to a bluetooth speaker, Spotify is fine.

If someone has a DAC and some decent headphones, or a decent hifi, you can notice the different easily, especially for certain genres. Not all music compresses well.
From my experience, Tidal has been good with this. They don't do transcodes. If they don't have an actual lossless version of a track, they indicate it in the UI.
There's one key difference between null as it applies to languages like C and Java versus Option<T>-like renditions of null: null doesn't infect the type-system in the latter.

Type systems can be viewed as a lattice, usually as a bounded lattice. If you look at Java's reference type system (ignore primitive types), there is a top type, aka Object. There is also a bottom type. It doesn't have a name you can spell, but it does have a single value--null. This means that null can satisfy any type, even if the type is impossible to satisfy--and as a result, there is an unsoundness in Java's type system.

I don't think we should try to guess the motivations of aliens. You can't really rule out, or make well founded assumptions about, how aliens will act or what they'll want.

Perhaps the aliens will just exterminate us to foreclose on the possible future where we become their equal or better. Perhaps they'll kill us for religious or ideological reasons. Perhaps they'll have a need to do something with our resources and no concern for our well being. Perhaps they'll be intelligent weapon systems programmed to kill and they'll identify us as enemies.
Titleholders are merely stewards, at best, and it is they who regularly receive windfalls from the productive activity of surrounding individuals.

>if the condescending tone of the top comment is ignored it becomes valuable feedback. good libraries/api's (free or otherwise) do not need to use marketing buzzwords to sell themselves when a clear demonstration of the functionality is usually more than enough.

this fallacy is called affirming the consequent. yes good libraries might not need marketing but that does not say anything about whether good libraries can have marketing.

In my experience, it's almost impossible to dissuade people from generating strings if the API affords it. We can't even stop people from generating SQL by concatenation!

Musing: does Python have a way (Mypy?) to declare that a method can accept only constant expressions?
I prefer your nested() version. I don't see why your final example would be ambiguous either, if it always returns a defaulting dict which you always have to extract with .values() there is no ambiguity. This is similar to how Javas Optional<T> work. The problem could be that the type checker isn't good enough and writing code like if nested(target)['system'] == "lazer" could pass the type checker.

"Really common" is people bullshitting. Most of this stuff is in their heads. I don't know about adrenal hyperplasia but certainly you don't need to be a liberal to have it? So why do only liberals want preferential treatment?

Sorry, all this crap is just identity politics... it's not based in reality at all.

Im bitterly disappointed that greenhouse gas emissions from livestock rarely enter conversation with people who care about climate change, so this is nice to hear it being discussed. Even better something which helps.

Im curious however if anyone here knows if the gas is switched from methane to something else or it just isn't produced in the first place and exits the animal as solids and liquids?

I guess it depends on what you mean by ‘compelling.’ Ævig, Lew & Huey, Nivrel, Hamilton, Christopher Ward, Melbourne and many, many more have some very attractive options for under $1,000.

You do have a point about the word ‘luxury’ though — I should have just stuck with ‘mechanical’ or ‘automatic.’

I find it funny that some people still see Net Neutrality as 'government controlling the internet'. They should take a look at FOSTA if they want to know what government controlling the internet really looks like.
C functions can only return one value. Since the stdlib generally adheres to the idea of minimizing overhead, that would mean malloc would have to accept a mutable reference to a reference, so it could assign the reference it returns. Since null references are unusable, using that impossible value as your error flag is a pretty clever optimization.

I think the way developers tend to think about front-end is misguided. Front-end development can be just as complex as backend, and IMO is analogous to iOS / Android, but interacting with a different environment.

Having started in ASP.NET web forms, I wholly welcome React & Redux / etc., because those were painful years.

Also, in many cases, developers are paid quite well ( a doctor like salary in some cases). I don't see problems with the notion of "having to keep up with the industry" since we're paid so well to do so.
Interesting, but I believe that methane emissions from cows are burps rather than farts, and there's a lot more fermentation going on in a cow's rumen than in our guts, so there might be some other mechanism at play here. Or perhaps not.

Thank you for fighting the good fight!
Got to wonder why - while they were paying people to begin 'installing and modifying hundreds of signals to prevent trains from going too fast' - they didn't modify the signals so they could be remotely re-configured.

Something in that system must be configured to be resistant to superior technology. Cuz it couldn't be the humans, right?
Also, cows burp (not fart) methane.
There are a lot of three-valued logics that lots of programming languages implicitly follow by accident sometimes. For example:

true || 3 ==3 || panic()

will, through short-circuiting, evaluate to “true” even though the final element doesn’t evaluate to either true or false.

(As you may observe, they also follow a weird logic where AND and OR are not commutative...)
My kids love nori but they still fart.

Can this study be done with the cow feed just being plain old grass? There’s lots of anecdotal evidence showing grass fed cows don’t produce much methane, thereby making pasture raised meat environmentally friendly. Yet there doesn’t appear to be many studies on it for whatever reason. Everything is focused on corn-based cow feed.
You are, essentially, a person with 20/20 vision saying “what’s the point of glasses?”

The point is that not everyone has the capacity to be even 10% productive without help, let alone 100% productive. Just like some people are still nearsighted even after all the vision correction possible, some people still have trouble focusing even after taking ADHD medication or whatever else.

If such people want to have any chance of doing a single thing with their lives, they need to fight their own brain the way one would fight a war: with strategy, bait and traps and feints, and a hard-eyed evaluation of which battles are worth fighting. That is, essentially, what these “productivity life-hacks” are a euphemism for.

How is that the article’s title and did any of the comments on seaweed read the article? It was the experiment with red algae, not the seaweed experiments that “reduces methane emissions almost entirely”.

> Kinley and De Nys tested 20 different species of seaweed on bacteria found in the stomachs of cows. They discovered seaweed reduced methane production by up to 50 percent, depending on the amount administered. But methane reduction at notable levels required high doses of seaweed, almost 20 percent by weight of the sample. This large percentage of seaweed would be difficult to implement outside of the lab and would likely have a negative effect on cow’s digestion.

> When the researchers tested a species of red algae called Asparagopsis taxiformis that grows off the coast of Queensland, Australia, they found it reduced methane production by more than 99 percent in the lab. In addition, it only required a dose of less than 2 percent to work effectively.
The "bicycle of the mind" platform vs aggregator argument is a bit contrived: the author is conflating features built on top of platforms with the platform itself. Most of the examples listed (Google Photos auto-edit, Maps suggestions, Gmail compose) are typically features built on top of platforms that can be (and are) used without these features.

Instead, I would think of these tools as an electric bicycle of the mind (to borrow from the article): the purpose of the motor is to help you on steeper hills. It is inherently still a bicycle.

Maybe stop trying to shoe-horn multi-decade companies with thousands of employees into ill-fitting philosophical silos? I'm all for arguments for/against companies but retro-fitting them into narratives and then proclaiming A is better than B is disingenuous.
The Construction of a Yurt (1995)
But code is data?
Yes, it has to bounce, but the number of times it bounces is dictated by the takeoff angle, as is the path length of each bounce relative to ground traversed. You aim for takeoff angles around 12 degrees. Since cos(12 degrees) ~= 0.98, there's not much path length added by the bouncing. So you still end up WAY ahead of fiber. I'll detail a stacked-curtain, log-periodic antenna used at another Chicago-area site in a forthcoming post.
Thanks, I did see the Session Sync extension before (and again now after the challenge winners were announced). Unfortunately, it seems to be quite thin on features, with the man advantage being syncing the sessions easily since they're stored as bookmarks. I also found the UI unintuitive (for example, I have to click on the extension icon, then go to the history tab, and then click on the current session to see the Save button).

Tab Session Manager is comparatively a lot richer in features, and also allows importing from the (legacy) SessionManager sessions.
Oh yeah, that's it. Because non-union-workers would never drive like that. :-P

interesting info about Bromoform from Wikipedia:

Bromoform is the main trihalomethane produced in beachfront salt water swimming pools with concentrations as high as 1.2 ppm (parts per million). Concentrations in freshwater pools are 1000 times lower. Occupational skin exposure limits are set at 0.5 ppm.

>I need more dill in my life!

Yeah, sure, _until you don't_. Bear in mind that it's essentially an invasive weed if you have a backyard garden. Be careful if you attempt to grow it at home, it might take over.

Those sites are a huge portion of overall internet traffic. While on e.g. Reddit, people may subscribe to tech subreddits, there are many people who don't and are unaware of anything to do with net neutrality. If they can convince a nonzero amount of people to contact their representatives, that's worth the hour or two of some intern's time to put up a banner. Who knows, some of those people might be in states represented by those 50 senators.
