I just went through this with my grandmother. She decided she didn't want any more care in the hospital, so they morphined her up to the point that she never woke up again and she essentially starved and dehydrated to death, over about a five day period. The whole thing was disturbing to me.
A problem (at least in the UK) is the promoting breast feeding has actually turned into some really nasty state-sponsored bullying of often vulnerable women who for whatever reason don’t manage to breast feed.

The push the breast feeding seriously needs to be calmed down. The stress and shame it causes can’t be good for mothers or babies.

‘Breast feeding is great if you can do it’ is fine but the state line is only just short of being ‘if you don’t breast feed you’re a terrible mother.’
Not sure why you're getting downvoted. I agree with you.

Yes, this isn’t news at all. Apple has always had a hardline policy when it comes to private API usage. Private APIs are private for a reason — they’re undocumented and often not finished or drastically different from their intended final public form and thus likely to change without notice. If developers were allowed to use them, it’d make major iOS updates much more painful for users than they currently are as the APIs apps rely on would get broken with much greater regularity. That, or Apple faces nightmarish levels of compatibility maintenance, slowing development to a crawl.

If this game used Metal directly with no involvement of MoltenVK at all, it’d still get rejected if it as long as that IOSurface private API is in use. The title is borderline clickbait.
There are numerous Craigslist redesign projects on Behance that looks visually stunning down to the smallest details. But, I think there's something about mirroring the text-only aspect of newspaper classifieds that makes Craigslist feel familiar and appropriate.

Obviously that plain text style wouldn't work for Facebook, but probably equally so a highly visual/slick look wouldn't with as well for Craigslist.

Boy, the next few decades are going to be...interesting...with how bent the current U.S. government seems to be on inverting the relationships that have coalesced over the last seventy or eighty years. Especially over small potatoes like this. Diplomatic disruption is not a recipe for peace.
Reminds me of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17459041
It's worse than I thought. If you see my edit, I found that the author used their complete ignorance of the (strong/weak)/(static/dynamic) distinction to invent a claim of willful misdirection on the part of the Python community. Not only did they not do their homework on the topic, but they tried to portray people in a negative light to further their narrative. I find that incredibly dishonest.
>society has probably made the right choice in banning it outright

If you're equating society with government, you're not correct in every case. Assisted suicide is legal in some jurisdictions. California is mentioned in the article, but another example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euthanasia_in_Canada
Might just be me, but it feels a little weird that brutalist design needs a framework. But perhaps I'm misconstruing the design/look of it to how it is actually built, in which case I would rather just do a brutalist design but do it with some more fleshed-out alternative like jquery+bulma.
I'm shocked, shocked (!) that the founders and employees made nothing while the C-suite made bank.
Don't be so sure, Pex and the like wasn't on the scene 20 years ago.
We're living in a period where real events are as absurd and as brain-breakingly bizarre as satire. It makes satire less of a release of tension and more of a depressing reminder.

Satire doesn't make you laugh when you can barely write an Onion headline that isn't only slightly expanded from reality.
Building a responsive image – 9elements – Medium
Kind of a cyclical theme... but this is why the job titles of "Developer" and "Engineer" were created.

"Engineers" design/build components that perform with repeatable results.

"Developers" work out the plumbing details between components in a system.

When hiring, don't mislead people into thinking they're interviewing for an Engineering role when you actually need a Developer.
Seems to me you are into promoting conspiracy theories if they confirm your own world view, instead of withholding judgement until more information is available.

The article omitted the critical detail about which private API was used. I have received one of those letters before and they should contain those details. The fact that the article omitted that information makes it sound like they want to start a controversy instead of admitting a library developer probably made an easily remedied mistake. They were hoping for low-information-high-opinion internet audience to drive traffic.
Others having mentioned the terror that was Clear Case, but I just want to highlight one of its bad features: everything was stored in a relational DB. And consistency was not guaranteed, so at one point all the code was corrupted. After recovery from the backup, it was retired with vengence, and everything went back to RCS and CVS.

When I wanted everyone to switch to Git or Mercurial (~2007) the main questions were about branch merges (MUCH easier in git than CVS) and the reliability of the version storage.

Many have now moved back to a centralised model of control (github), even if they have many partial copies. The incredibly RDBMS (non-git) method of managing the meta-data of github systems is very disappointing, but not surprising. If github is 4th gen, then I'm hoping for 5th gen, where all SE meta data is also available as a replicated database, which you can spin up with a local httpd.
To play the devils advocate, Why should Vulcan propagate their own APIs instead of picking one and porting others to work on top of it? All they are doing is this: https://xkcd.com/927/
Considering they don’t control any platform, they are misguided.
From the context I think the author meant something like "useful for every task" rather than "commonly found everywhere" i.e. ubiquitous.
Anecdote: about 2-3 years ago I was using about 10g/day kratom and 1gm/day caffeine to deal with chronic fatigue and muscle pain.

I was dependent on both for about 12 months just to function (without them I had a hard time getting out of bed or anything done). But the combo helped to finally get regular exercise, which helped with sleep, which helped me to heal.

The caffeine was _much_ harder to kick than the kratom. A full week of headaches and fatigue due to caffeine withdrawal.

When people talk of kratom being bad because it produces dependency, why don’t they talk of caffeine in the same way? What real negative effects does the kratom have if used long term? My experience says there is none. And all this handwringing is simply due to lack of familiarity.

Poverty is a social tragedy. Inequality is an inevitable consequence of choice.
What's even worse is the endless complaining about clickbait in legit and nicely informative posts.
Sometimes the shit flows uphill
The author complains about CPU-bound performance and then mentions PyPy but claims it's ecosystem is barren enough that the point stands. This claim is presented without evidence.

In practice it doesn't really show up: the cases where code is actually CPython-specific usually imply all the work is being done in highly optimized C bits. Hence, those programs, despite being run on CPython, aren't CPU-bound.

Finally: while this FUD is really pernicious because it used to be hard/impossible to get scientific code like numpy to run on PyPy, that hasn't been the case in a long time. Right now you can just pip install numpy and it'll just work.
all the clickbait titles on medium. I've mostly stopped bothering to read them
The typing, encapsulation, and packaging issues are features of the language which have benefits and tradeoffs. The author of the article seems to balk at them because they aren't what he is used to. Re: typing in particular, gradual typing is something that's slowly becoming viable, and I think it's great.

The python 2 vs 3 issue isn't really an issue if you're starting with the language. There was a time where lots of big libraries were only supported by python 2, but that's definitely not the case any more.

OTOH the build system is definitely a common pain point, and the GIL forces you to use other services (e.g. redis + multiprocessing) to achieve horizontal scaling which is unfortunate. And of course python's crappy performance is something anyone looking at languages should be aware of.
I tried making something like this (JSX with Template Literals) few times, they are languishing in unfinished JSFiddles. The main issue was making it XSS-safe by default, which as I see this hasn't achieved at all!

XSS demo 1: https://jsfiddle.net/hegLkz4s/2/

XSS demo 2: https://jsfiddle.net/hegLkz4s/4/

So, please do not use this, use React or similar well-tested libraries instead. There might be a way to make something like this that is XSS-safe by default (I got pretty close), but brutal.js does not seem to be it.

That's different from what I've heard from friends, they had to wait for their parent's hearts to stop. One sat with his father until three in the morning before it finally happened. I've not heard it's taken as many as five days though.

This was in the Netherlands by the way, before euthanasia was legalized.
Yeah, but if that's the case then just have the title be clickbait and leave it. Having the title be clickbait and acknowledging that in the first sentence and trying to justify it as somehow improving the reception of the content is just kind of insulting.

"Look at me using the word hate misleadingly, hate is such a strong word". Is it though? This is like the title-writing version of /r/madlads. :-)
People can very well do it because they like fancy titles, or leaving things unspecified, or puns, or whatever, and not to drive visitors to their website.

In fact, before the web, authors have long used fancy titles for articles that you had to buy the magazine or newspaper to even read, so they had no advertising-like value to attract unsuspecting readers.
> countries should strive to limit the inaccurate or misleading marketing of breast milk substitutes.

Why do you need a new resolution for that? Isn't that kind of things already covered by advertising laws in all member countries? And especially, why can't each individual country decide what standards to apply by themselves?
> Why should Vulcan propagate their own APIs instead of picking one and porting others to work on top of it?

I suppose you are asking, why should developers strive to use cross platform API, instead of using Apple's lock-in. The answer is simple - reducing work duplication. It's same reason you'd avoid using ActiveX, Silverlight and Flash and would use standard HTML/JavaScript.

Apple obviously are irritated that someone found a way to break their lock-in, so they are looking for ways to mess things up under some side pretenses.
I disagree with some of the above posters.

This is often confused with, but is not the same thing as, physician aid-in-dying or euthanasia. People do talk about this in hospitals, and it is appropriate treatment for many patients at the end of life if they are suffering.

The ethical principle of double effect makes this permissible in these contexts. If the aim of the treatment with a benzodiazepine or opiate is to reduce suffering, the possibility of hastening death via respiratory suppression shouldn't stop physicians from treating patients with appropriate dosages of these medications to achieve the first aim of relieving or preventing suffering.

Suggesting that this is a "workaround" for euthanasia distracts from the fact that this is not available as a treatment for most, if not almost all, dying patients. It is very different from physician aid-in-dying and is not a replacement for these other forms of end of life care.
HIIT It Hard – Burning Fat, Building Muscle, and Getting in Great Shape
I'm same as you, but I'm actually getting tired of it. Everytime I encounter a problem, I start compulsively thinking in this direction, scaling it during the process, eventually getting frustrated about my inability to implement necessary changes.
My "JS ecosystem" no longer includes any of those three.
This happens in the US as well.
You don't have to move huge stones. Its possible to cast limestone in place, like concrete. I read/watched some stuff about this guy not too long ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Davidovits

He claims he sent samples of his cast limestone to geologists and they couldnt tell the difference. Overall I think his theory makes much more sense. It just would have been easier to pour each block in place rather than lug huge stones around.
Given all you need to run LMS is a Raspberry Pi 2 era CPU and some storage, they could very easily, and very cheaply make a WPS/bluetooth/NFC pairable device you just drop in your network and you've got LMS with a writeable Windows (samba) share to store music. And an app for fruitier configuration (as well as the current webapp).

Streaming services are already largely integrated. Logitech could formalise these relationships to protect them in the long run.

Basically, a few engineers there could pivot on what they've got and have prototypes out in a week. As I've said elsewhere, they really do have all the pieces of the puzzle, sitting gathering dust... They just choose not to do anything with it. It's infuriating.
I'm inclined to say if that article/manifesto on brutalist design that hit the front page yesterday is even remotely authoritative then some of these sites are breaking what I assumed to be fundamental tenents of brutalist web design already.

Or have I overthought the joke? It's possible, I've done it before.
My experience mirrors yours. I've had relatives receive doses in the scale of things stop working within 24 hours. But at that point, they didn't have very long left anyway, so maybe it's different practises, and maybe it's about how healthy the body is when the process is initiated.
Are we really surprised by this? Here's a quick reminder of the awful things Nestlé has done with regards to breast milk "substitutes".

A random person from the street would be able to fix a small plumbing problem. Water and pipes are well into the normal day to day experience.

A random person from the street would not be able to fix a trivial problem/bug in some software - let's say a missing runtime package on linux.
I have to be honest - I don't see this. Maybe I'm lucky.

My current company is basically creating Microsoft Office on the web - because for the targeted niche, Microsoft Office (Google sheets, Libre office) wasn't cutting it. There aren't libraries for that.

My previous company was applying machine learning to the twitter firehose, and present the results in real time. The existing libraries weren't up to the task (or the volume).

Before that, we built tooling to allow ten people to administrate 40 plus companies' on-premise databases. There were a few libraries and tools we used, but nothing that we could just "plumb together".

I saw in the Reddit thread that the "plumbing" argument applies mostly to backend developers who just put REST libraries on top of databases. OK, I can kinda see that, but it's not like the complexity of the programs has disappeared, it was just moved to the frontend. And in a way, that's a benefit to the company (and the employees) - the resources previously tied up in re-creating REST libraries before REST libraries existed can now do other things.

The value of programmers has never been in the movement of data from point A to point B, it's been in the application of business logic to that data.
Apples private API scanner also leaves a lot to be desired - I've worked on projects where our clients had their apps rejected due to use of names like "index" (not quite those, but similary generic) for use of "private API". Of course Apple rejected this and refused to communicate.
Thanks, we've updated the title using (hopefully) representative language from the article. We can update it again if someone suggests a better one.
This is not what actually happens in practice. There are a number of states with "Death with dignity" laws. Read up: https://www.deathwithdignity.org/faqs/
> Discipline is learning to do what needs to be done regardless of how we feel. This creates more results than chasing motivation.

This 100x. Discipline is the goal. To paraphrase Jocko Wilink's podcast and book, "discipline equals freedom". Want to get up early, set an alarm and get up. Want to get in shape, go to the gym starting right now.

When I recognize I'm procrastinating on something that needs to get done, I immediately attack it and get it done.
If software started to become as reliable as PVC piping and standardized and regulated by a governing body like it is with plumbing, then all your problems are solved. Until then, keep learning and make sure your engineers aren't over-engineering the crap out of everything.

If woman of colour could compete on merit alone, I'm sure we'd see greater numbers in tech, but we don't. Unless you believe that people of colour are inherently incapable of these jobs, which I'm sure you don't :)

Were you self aware when using a double negative?
Did you read the article? Clearly the resolution tweaked the US- eg threatening to withdraw military aid from Ecuador- implying there's a large couched interest.
Riding in the centre of a lane is illegal in many places.
So the US started threatening other countries until Russia stepped up? WTF is wrong with the US delegation? You have tens of years of data telling you that breast milk is the best thing for a baby and you go ahead and do shit like this?

If this wasn’t the real I would guess this is some sort of flat earth society kind of thing.
Agreed. I 100% think breast feeding is great if you can do it but it's no shame if you can't or need to supplement with formula.

Additionally I think it should be a matter between a mother and her pediatrician/lactation specialist and not the government.

> ‘Breast feeding is great if you can do it’ is fine but the state line is only just short of being ‘if you don’t breast feed you’re a terrible mother.’

To me this is something you decide on a private level. I don't see what the government or the society has to decide about what you do at home, as long as you don't actively, purposely aim at making your children suffer.
Well Ken Thompson didn't actually invent the idea of regular expressions, but he was probably one of the first people to implement them in software. Regular languages and expressions were first formalized in 1951 by Stephen Kleene and I assume Ken Thompson used this research to implement them.
Just to be clear, the morphine was her request, or was it some sort of vengeance on the part of the hospital?
"just plumbing"
All points are at least semi-valid concerns.

However, what is the cost of addressing them? Slower development (core lang and ecosystem). Less use in niche fields. Less flexibility to adapt to new challenges.

Python is a rusty toolbox that's been put together over 27 years.

You know why it's still around? Because people can use it to do the things they want to do.

Fixing all the warts would give us the language we need now... in about 15 years. Which would by then be useless.
What would the resolution even do? Like are WHO officials gonna be following around mothers telling them what to do? Seems like much to do about nothing. Doubtful many people are gonna change their behavior because of some resolution by some way off organization.
I'm wondering how much "the State" should intervene in matters like this. Some families may choose to breast-feed, some won't. Should this decision be government organization-mandated?

If the administration's decision is based on "the government should stay out of your family's life," then I may see logic here.
Just because it's "brutalist" doesn't mean it should be hard to read. I guess the point is just to reduce it to the basics while still being nice to look at with proper line breaks, padding and line heights.

I think a simple framework to provide the basics could be helpful, the one mentioned yesterday was http://tachyons.io.
> However, Python does not have a real privacy model.

> This is unsettling if you’re coming from a Java or C/C++ world and are expecting access modifiers

It's unsettling to a lot of people, but so what? I still don't see a solid use case for where member access (not "privacy") is a good idea. Python is one of the only languages to get access modifiers right (convention), imo and I don't even like Python.

You could implement some "privacy" with a lambda closure (which gets increasingly complex), but that's one more technique that lambdas are ill-suited for.

Amongst mothers, the same bullying/shaming goes with vaginal birth vs C-section.
We all have our weaknesses I guess. For me, nothing was harder to quit than pot. I've regularly used opiates, kratom, and even tobacco and I can pick them up and put them down with ease and lack of noticable side effects (short of a few depressed days). Weed took weeks of dealing with lack of sleep, agression and obsessive thoughts before I broke free, and that was after many failed attempts.

I have personally seen several friends kick regular pill habits with kratom and they got off it OK. We should discuss the downsides but from what I've seen the folks with kratom problems just took way too much(as addicts will do, I guess).
Yes I read the article and the article fails to mention why this resolution is necessary in the first place, and why it needs to be happening at the WHO level.
The website you linked does not address the situation described in the comment above - where family members disagree with an individual about the time of death, and pressure them in to making a different decision than they would otherwise. (If it does, I missed it. For this reason it's often helpful to reprint your quote in the comment that contains the link.)

Again, this can already be seen happening in life-support cases. I won't say "ask any doctor," because I haven't asked every doctor, but it's not too hard to find first-hand accounts.
Have you released pre-trained models?

It would be pretty useful if you did, even as a just basis for transfer learning.

Also a description of the model that is used? I assume this is the code[1], which references https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.00844, but the code doesn't seem to use WideResnet (although I really know Keras much better than PyTorch so I'm probably missing something.
