This is a really good list. The OP should print it out and put checkboxes, and everyday make sure he/she does each task list. Another thing to do is to start a journel and write three things: what you are grateful for today (could be a small thing, no scope), something like this checklist (I put in weight and what I ate or plan to eat with calories broken down by fat/carb/protein), and a list of "Victories" "Today, I did X and I declare VICTORY! over it" which also again, could be a really small thing, like I cleaned my room etc. THe idea is to change your brain chemistry, very slowly, into positive way of thinking. Again your list is great!
I'm sure there are pathological liars that scam corporations for petty gains, but I figure they must be dwarfed financially by insurance scammers that do intentional slip-and-fall accidents or have their car "stolen" from the parking lot or other ways to reap big insurance setrlements.
That is my exact situation.

I'm currently on 2-ish acres of land (we are renting), in 100+ year old brick farmhouse. My neighbours are 3 soy fields. You can hear coyotes not 50m away most nights. We have a dog, and he loves the space to run. We've planted ~30m^2 of vegetable gardens, and participate in community supported agriculture programs that let us fill our pantry, deep freeze, and refrigerator with amazing seasonal local produce and local beef/poultry/pork while supporting the local town economy.

Internet can be troublesome. We "lucked out" with a 7mbps DSL connection, but my nearest neighbour about 1km away has no choice but to use a satellite connection which is shaky at best, and unusable in bad weather.

Your perspective changes, too. It takes at least 15-20 minutes to get anywhere (we have a walk score of zero), so driving a half hour doesn't seem like a big deal. Heck, we drove 40km each way a few days ago to find some sushi, since my partner had a craving for it.

The rental aspect takes away much of the negative of country property maintenance that has been described by others, and does give us a bit more mobility/liquidity should financial emergencies arise that would require us to move back to the city. The downside, of course, is that we have less freedom to change or modify the property to better suit our needs, but such is life.

My quality of life has significantly improved, mostly because I have a lot of space to do things I've always wanted to do in the city but couldn't, and it's all stuff that gets me off of the computer. I taught myself how to fix old cars. My partner is learning carpentry, and has taken up leatherworking. I make ~20gal of wine in my basement from fruit that we pick ourselves. We garden.

I grew up in farm country as a kid, so it's not that jarring for me, but I it was still a bit of an adjustment after living in major cities for most of my adult life.

I hope that I can continue to live in the country and work remotely; it's been quite the positive lifestyle change.
Yeah, most of TOML looks good, but the .INI style [table] and even wierder the [[table-array]] thing seems like they were trying to hammer a square peg into a round hole for the sake of having config files that look like INIs.
A good example of unethical can be seen by reading Clinton's leaked Wall Street speeches where her private options is wildly different than her public.

Unethical that while the DNC is well within their right to push the candidate most likely to win, their public impression of fair voting was not at all that to Bernie supporters. Nor did the DNC disclose just how much the Clinton campaign was funding operations before her being selected as candidate.

Also unethical would be the private email server set up to push unecrypted backups to an unvetted third civilian party with no security access. Not to mention sending classified materials to Anthont Wiener's laptop, and generally mishandling classified info.

I'm not sure having media push the articles the campaign writes with the promise of greater access is ethical.

Was it ethical to fund a known phony dossier through Fusion GPS, the British, and Ukraine? IDK. Maybe that's "opposition research"... It's hard to tell where that line is.

... Unless you don't think those things happened.

edit: More downvotes, but all of those things happened. Sorry HN, seeming more like Reddit every day :(
Jim Murray has always ranked Alberta Premium rye whiskey quite highly. I always found this funny as its one of the cheapest alcohols available in Canada. Mr Lahey of trailer park boys fame even drinks it (although its poorly blurred out). Its often around 50% of the price of something like Jack Daniels here.
Since the author's already responded, this might be redundant, but perhaps expanding the example at https://github.com/dhall-lang/dhall-lang#case-study might be a helpful look at a running example of Dhall. I feel like I've seen multiple people completely skip over and not realize there was already an example in the README as opposed to just the detailed reference docs.

Perhaps you're looking for something with even more features and applicability (e.g. an example of a Kubernetes config as Dhall's author points out), but hopefully that example gives at least a self-contained example of how to gradually start using Dhall.
Nobody's talking about outlawing SFH's. You can still have a big yard if you want it. But allowing smaller forms is good for a number of reasons: supporting multi-modal transportation, environmental impact, and reducing economic segregation among them.
Laphroaig, Ardbeg or maybe the distillers editions from Lagavulin and Talisker. Islay is pretty small so you don't really have that many options.

Since you like Macallan (I assume sherry oak?) you might like one of the older Glenfarclas (for the example the 25yo).

I don't know how whiskies are priced in the US but the "cheapest" whisky I like is Tullibardine 228 (burgundy finish). I think I payed 30€ for it. Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban (port finish) is also very affordable.

Aberlour doesn't really fit in here but the 15yo and 18yo are worth checking out if you haven't already.
@kialo requires 8 pros/cons for a discussion to be discoverable. That sounds like a draconian requirement that likely to damage the platform more, than it'll benefit it. I understand they are trying to keep the quality high, but if users cant discover new content daily, they wont be able to engage with it and will just churn…

Hope you guys will lower this limit, as the idea is truly great and Internet need a well-structured discussion platform!
In The SF Bay Area Sonja Trauss, SFYIMBY and friends actually did bring a lawsuit against the suburb of Lafayette for housing development. https://youtu.be/91g6N_JNnQE

They also established a legal agency for doing exactly that: https://www.carlaef.org/

I wonder if this kind of thing will happen more often for other urban policy related things!

> From past two decades, Quantum technology has been a top strategic focus in China's 5-year economic development plan. While the U.S. invested about $200 Million a year in quantum research, China spent $101 Billion in quantum physics in 2015.

I've had pure pig fat before and made it myself off pig stomach or other parts. The first couple bites are good if you deep fry it to a deep brown colour but if you eat more than a medium size, you can easily get sick and have nausea from the oiliness, the fat is also more chewy than you expect and you can choke on it if you even have a medium piece in your mouth (I choked). If I was to eat animal fat, I would only eat a little bit and not too much. We seem to get nauseous from too much oil.

West With the Night, Beryl Markham's autobiography. Beryl grew up in Africa, became a horse trainer and pilot, and flew solo from Europe to Newfoundland around the time that was highlighted in Out of Africa. Her life was incredibly interesting, she had at least one encounter with Hemingway, and she was a terrific writer.
why wouldn't a private cohort of unelected and in most cases anonymous individuals with significant and arbitrary leverage over the value of the Bitcoins in your possession be effectively the same (worse, because there is no accountability or out of band feedback control whatsoever to stabilize their behavior in the direction of good faith) trap as you fear with central banks who can arbitrarily control inflation?
Agree. And anyone who sees a business opportunity in a shady area where basically “regulation hasn’t kept up with tech” just deserves to have the rug pulled from underneath by regulators. The message to the next company should be “if it seems shady, it’s probably not worth trying”.
I have been in Eastern European countries that call it "lard".

I apologize for not making it clear that I intended this to be a parody illustrating the absurdity of a certain POV when carried to its logical extreme (most POVs are incorrect when carried to an extreme).

After further thought, I should have added an /s at the end or better yet not posted at all. My apology for the dishonesty to anyone who took this literally.
Yup, just like with people, name clashes in computers won't cause problems!

I'm sure there are rare exceptions but I would imagine if you dug deeply into the business rules around "I need to export a 3,000,000,000 row CSV file" and into what the users are actually trying to accomplish at the end of that workflow, you could find a solution that meets those goals better while also obviating the need to export a 3,000,000,000 row CSV file.
Most marketing people don't. Basically, I have a lot of experience growing and managing high spend ad accounts at this point. Once you have that experience and skill, you're in much higher demand. I have a lot of references saying I'm good, so I can negotiate hourly + % of ad spend. Pareto's law is in full effect in online marketing, so 10 hours a week with a client can get them very similar results to if I worked for them full time.

For example, one of my clients I grew from $0 Facebook spend to 6 figures Facebook spend. They're happy because it's profitable (printing money for them), I'm happy since I get 15% of ad spend. It doesn't take that many clients like that before you're making $30k+ a month.

I really wish I did have more than one middle name, both of which starting with `R` (indeed, my middle name does start with R). Maybe then as a J.R.R. Fawcett I could write fantasy novels.
I hope so, but given the current political climate in the US, I'm not confident.
To be clear, you can still have those things with Japanese style zoning. You just aren't required to.

Realistically, most people don't make very much use of their yards (especially front yards), and most garages are just storage space for the mountains of stuff we accumulate. If people still want those things, sure it's fine, but why mandate them?

This. My HS Physics teacher introduced my to Labyrinths. Still the best book recommendation I've ever received. Giving time for each story to absorb is essential. I'd also like to add "The Lottery in Babylon" is an excellent story.
Please, enlighten me. Show me a risk free asset that pays above the rate of inflation (don't forget to consider any taxes you might owe on interest and dividends!).
> Assuming this never goes to trial, could the DOJ ever be compelled to release the evidence used to attribute the defendants

If you meant “ever”, then yes, but that would require the indicted individuals actually be arrested and brought before the court, which, while not impossible, is improbable without a change of government in both the US and Russia.

If it didn't go to trial, and it's classified (which it almost certainly is) or otherwise not subject to FOIA (which as sensitive, even if it not classified, information related to an open criminal case, which it will be until the case is resolved, it will continue to be at a minimum, it would seem exempt from) there won't be any likely compulsory process. Maybe Congress could pry it out of DoJ and make it public, by at least the current leadership send willing to stand up to intense pressure including public impeachment threats from the same party in Congress on at least some sensitive investigation information, so it's not clear that would work, either.

It is irrelevant what "Lard" is in English in this context. What "Lardo" is in Italian, which is close to (a likely more cured version of) what was found in the stomach of Otzi, is nowadays considered a delicacy, and it is probably a long shot for researchers to assume the guy ate something of horrible taste, without further substantiating their claims.
My businesses expenses are only around $10k a year, so what I bill and pay myself is basically the same.

No. Women may choose to serve in the military, but there is no requirement for them to do so. There's been talk of instituting a "citizen's service" for all citizens, where presumably women mostly would be expected to perform civil service similar to what men can now choose.

The exempted religious group are the Jehova's witnesses. It's my understanding they were granted an exemption because men in the group would by and large all refuse to serve, and putting them all in prison wasn't doing much good. However, recently a conscientous objector was released by a court on the grounds that this exemption constitutes inequal treatment, and the state now has to address the issue. I suppose the options they have are to either extend the exemption to others based on some grounds to be determined, or remove the exemption of Jehova's witnesses.

The ministry of defense has proposed to solve the problem by removing the witnesses' exemption. In general, the state appears to be consistently treating this as a practical matter of maintaining the current policy of general conscription, and not as a rights issue at all.

yes, this does join today's festival of obscure languages. But why is this one note worthy you might ask yourself?

1. it appeared almost out of nowhere with no warning from its mysterious author _why the lucky stiff who then later disappeared off the face of the internet.

2. despite its sophistication (JIT, custom vm, full mixing based language) the source is very readable and accessible to anyone interested in non-trivial compiler construction.

3. it has a certain idealism not sullied by being a large project trying to become famous.
They're two different progressive movements. One that died out around 1920, and the current one today. Just because they use the same word, doesn't mean it's the same movement.

No, you can still do whatever you want with your land. Nobody's putting a gun to your head and making you buy a townhome or condo.
I asked the question, was the information released wrong or fake. Was it?

Because if it's not wrong or fake, and it's damaging - none of that blame lies with the creators and only with the publisher? That seems odd.
I am assuming the downvotes are for you lack of distinction between two.

Eavesdropping and spying, even amongst allies, is basically an open secret or just an activity everyone assumes the other is doing.

Actively influencing an election is much more serious and not something you would expect your allies to be doing in your country. If Obama was doing that to Germany then I expect there would have been a real shit show.
It’s the same process with buying a cash buisiness, you bootstrap it with debt or clean money. You are assuming that the criminal only has access to dirty money, but it’s not that hard to take out a credit card, a loan, and/or have some savings.
My more general point holds. I did not mean that hotels have to involve a judge to boot you. I meant that because they are regulated and not in a semi-private legal gray area, there are more legal options available for someone than OP has with Airbnb, where he's bound by their special agreements that give Airbnb vast power.
I provided data to back up my position, do you have any other than vague feels?
I find this sort of reply irritating. Feminists rightly point out that the fact that female discrimination is far worse elsewhere in the world does not somehow diminish our obligation to address female discrimination here.

So the only way your objection carries any weight is if men (even white men) are not discriminated against at all, ever, at any level of our society. Do you actually believe that to be the case? If so, then I suggest you do some reading.

If not, then we have just as much an obligation to address challenges that men uniquely face as we have to women for the same.
Hakashu would be the one to try if you’re a scotch nerd. That’s a truly distinctive style... I call it “clean peat”.
Ah, extreme opinions. The hors d'ouevres precipitating internet stupidity. I'll bite.

This is patently false. My current favorite whiskey is Blanton's, which I tried knowing nothing about it. My current most disliked whiskey is Tomatin 15 year which came highly recommended to me.

I will let the wine somaliers speak for themselves, but whiskey can certainly be identified by the seasoned palette.

The problem for me is feature creep. Someone may create a facial recognition database for worthy reasons, but once that database is created it doesn't take a lot to allow the usage criteria to change.

In Ireland the government is obsessed with issuing everyone with a "voluntary" Public Services Card, the photo on it being biometric. Officially it is voluntary, but you need one to get many public services, including getting a driving licence or passport - so not really voluntary.

The system has been used to catch a handful of benefits cheats - single numbers - so naturally the government hails it as a major fraud fighting tool.

Now catching benefit fraud is worthy, but where do you stop? You may think the GDPR protects the system from abuse, but that counts for nothing where the authorities pull the crime prevention and detection card. The protections provided by the GDPR can be cancelled out by a court order if Gardai claims it will solve/prevent a crime.

And once that has happened a few times it will start to become normalised and eventually abused. E.G. Applying for a civil service job and being turned down for going on an anti-government rally ten years ago.

If you create something that can be abused, it probably will be abused.
I've been reading this and it's great so far. Are there other similar books that describe modern enterprise architecture at scale?
From my understandings:

- AppImage: it packs Linux apps into a tar file so you can unzip it later and run the executable of the app. The main selling point of AppImage is it's distro-independent

- XAR: it packs dynamic languages programs (python, node.js, lua) into a executable file. The executable includes the language runtime, a fuse filesystem to mount the program's source code.

In conclusion, I don't think you ever needs to make an AppImage for XAR executable file.
> Not even that local. With the few exceptions from the Constitution

Disagree. A perfect example is the subject of the article you're commenting on - zoning laws.
You really cannot compare a Yamazaki with an Islay whisky. Sherry or otherwise.

Preferring Laphroaig PX over a Yamazaki has nothing to do with the quality of either, but with personal preference. You just cannot compare a heavily peaty/smoky whisky with one that is neither.
It doesn’t fucking matter
I don't think trying to eliminate policies that discriminate against men is denying that men have privileges. Simply because one group suffers from discrimination more than another shouldn't be a justification to turn around and discriminate the latter. I am Hispanic myself, and I would cringe just as hard at a "Latinx only" sign as I would a "Whites only" one.
Reason Apple make upgrades impossible is so they can charge ridiculous prices for their built in upgrades.

> There is no fuzzy interpretation of things like YES and NO

I think the big problem is that YAML is dynamically typed. If I had schema-enforced config files, I'd be perfectly happy to say that for boolean typed data all the values of YES and NO and ON and OFF and T and F and 0 and 1 can all be reasonably interpreted as a Boolean True and False. The problem happens when a string-typed or integer-typed member can also have their ON value interpreted into Boolean TRUE.
I disagree. This is not AirBnB deciding they just don't like someone. This is AirBnB deciding to ban someone because they gave a negative review. I think the world where you're banned from services for speaking honestly about them is far worse than the alternative. If we can't speak honestly about our experiences, then others simply are not capable of making informed decisions, and all of capitalism goes poof.
