React sits on top of those. It uses HTML+CSS for visualization. React just does the logic for what HTML and CSS to display.

Prior to their invention, most drivers survived without airbags in their cars too.

comex just noted that the design decision here has some tradeoffs. One of those tradeoffs is that you can't define wrapper types for units. Such a feature has clear use cases - it's not hard to find instances where unit conversion bugs have had severe consequences. "Most languages survived without that" is not a constructive comment.

Yet the computer models that scientists rely on to predict the future climate don’t even come close to acknowledging the power of plants to move water on that scale, Swann said. “They’re tiny, but together they are mighty.”
""

This statement causes alarm bells to ring inside my head. The calamitous warnings that we hear are based on predictions that are based on climate models that are claimed to be nigh on rock solid. The advice that we are given is based on theories about how the climate works that are meant to be highly accurate. The numbers we have are based on measurements that statistically are highly accurate and methodologically very sound. The impression we are given is that the models and theories and numbers and measurements are mostly a done deal bar a little tweaking here and there. What we are doing now is just refining the models and acquiring more data and plotting ever more accurate graphs.

If it is true that at least one major factor has not been taken into account that truth to my mind does a lot to damage the credibility of those making the predictions and peddling advice. And if there is one major factor, why could there not be another major factor?

I have long wanted to know why – if climate change be such a serious concern – we don't try to reduce desertification on a global scale, in addition to tackling our over-reliance on hydrocarbons. But no, it's all "coal is bad, diesel is bad, oil is bad, natural gas is bad, you name it is bad", but where are all the state-sponsored projects to green the Sahara and the Arabian peninsula? Immigration from North Africa and the Middle East is causing political unrest in Europe. If the land was better over there they wouldn't need as badly to come over here. It feels to me that even though climate scientists claim to be rational actors they are being motivated by guilt rather than reason. I know it is heresy at this point to question climate science but for me the science has never been anything remotely as clear cut and settled as CFCs and the Ozone layer. For a while there about a decade go we collectively were way more concerned about the rain forests and the rate at which they were being cut down. Can we not at least agree that two things need to happen: (1) we need to reduce our dependency on hydrocarbons (2) we need to plant trees.

I think we also need to acknowledge that "green technologies" (there's a loaded term is ever there was one) are anything but – producing solar panels and wind turbines at a massive scale is not all upside and no downside. The processes that make up green tech are not magically immune from having a harmful effect on the planet.

Ultimately what I think we should be doing is building nuclear power stations and planting billions, if not trillions, of trees. Everything else is window dressing.
> Not sure where GP got his/her numbers, but the $3 to $1 ratio is way off. Maybe it was describing the marginal rate for additional collection of unpaid taxes? US federal income and payroll tax receipts for 2018 was approx $3,000 billion, while the IRS budget for 2018 was only $11.7 billion, a ratio of approx 256 to 1.

That's including all the taxes paid by people with unchallenged tax returns. That's basically just the cost of processing the checks. It's quite a lot more expensive to get money from someone who filed a fraudulent return and you have to do an audit to get them to pay. Especially when a lot of the audits you do won't turn up any real fraud.

This regex doesn't tell whether a number is prime, it tells whether the length of a specially crafted string is prime.

Kind of a big difference as you can make a regex that answers any yes/no question if you preprocess the input enough.

Not sure what you mean. The elements of an ArrayList(ArrayList(i32)) are ArrayList(i32)s.

To answer my question, no, they're not deinited. All deinit does is call self.allocator.free on the slice of elements, and for many allocators that's a nop. In fact none of ArrayLists methods take any kind of ownership of its elements. If you shrink an ArrayList(ArrayList(i32)) by one you leak the last ArrayList(i32). None of the methods call destructors on the elements because there is no generic notion of a destructor, only particular ad-hoc ones like deinit methods. ArrayList appears to solve the problem I mentioned above about generics not knowing if a generic type needs to have a destructor called by only supporting types that don't.

In C++, you'd write the function that clears a vector something like

void clear() {
for (auto p = ptr; p != ptr + len; ++p) {
p->~T();
}
len = 0;
}

For a vector<vector<int>> the syntax p->~T() calls the destructor on a vector<int> element. While for an vector<int> the syntax p->~T() is a pseudo-destructor call, ie. it does nothing. This makes the same generic code work when the elements of a vector need to have a destructor called and when they don't.
Their website states that they launch from a Danish Naval base and they receive help from Danish and Swedish authorities, so hopefully that means the Danish government could be open to helping out with the MTCR too.

Heh.

Wait, you're joking right?
That's entirely the point; he/she isn't expecting to call deinit on an i32, but is expecting to call deinit on an ArrayList(i32) if said ArrayList(i32) is in fact an element of an ArrayList(ArrayList(i32)). And calling deinit on an ArrayList(i32) is of course valid, nontrivial and necessary, since such a value needs to own a heap allocation that must be free()d.

> i would argue that if taxes are so onerous as to support a black market for a legal good, the taxes are probably much too high.

Nah, when something has large negative externalities you set the tax to the point of mostly discouraging it. That'll be pretty high. It's supposed to be.

> in addition to being an absurd tax from the get-go (in my opinion), it is also quite regressive, since poor people are significantly more likely to be smokers.

"Regressive tax" only applies to necessities. Cigarettes are a luxury item, like lottery tickets or whiskey. Nobody ever starved or froze or lost their job for lack of a cigarette.
The internet didn't used to have ads or spam either.
To me, and I'm not quite the expert that perhaps you are, but to me it seems like Bayesian inference is still in a better spot here because the priors are part of an explicit quantification of bias and assumption in a model.

Much havoc has befallen the scientific world because of the hidden assumptions of frequentist techniques with poorly understood preconditions, even for rather basic models. And there isn't much anyone can do about that save move to ever more complicated models.
Simply huh? Or a good majority of people share a belief in a mixed-market economy that includes sensible regulation on enterprise.

Um, they have to run a lookup to find the 'value' for the given 'key' regardless...? I cannot think of any positive value for the user here -- it's non-standard & slower. 3XX redirects have been around a long time and basically every single client out there knows how to use them, and those that don't can look the status codes up to see how they should handle them if they want to.

AFAICT this is purely to allow for the 'pseudo injection' of the third-party JS, presumably for tracking purposes...

You're assuming the multi person project has no coding standards.

Non-metropolitan areas can be nice.

I suppose bit twiddling is specialized. There are fewer jobs, but also fewer people seeking those jobs. That relative lack of competition goes in your favor. High-level developers (Java, JavaScript, Go, Python...) are being pumped out at a frantic pace.
Actually, it's the strength of Bayesian inference that these assumptions are made apparent.

Coming to consensus on priors is the same process for arriving at consensus that all scientific inquiry must engage in. Anyone who says frequentist methods somehow more accurately represent an underlying reality are pulling a fast one.
I made one for my computer monitor and it looks really impressive, particularly with games. Unfortunately it's much harder to do on a television DIY nowadays because you have to decode the HDMI signal in realtime, which isn't really feasible with a 4K picture on any remotely affordable FGPAs (AFAIK... I'd really like to hear if someone knows a part or combination of chips that would make this feasible at a hobbyist price, even hypothetically).

A computer monitor is easier, though, because you can run a program in the background that does screen capture.

Interesting, could you post one of them? The version from Lucian is as follows:

“Whenever we came to an
inn, he used to take up the bar of the door, or a broom, or perhaps a pestle, dress it up in clothes, and utter a certain incantation; whereupon the thing would begin to walk about, so that every one took it for a man. It would go off and draw water, buy and cook provisions, and make itself generally useful. When we had no further occasion for its services, there was another incantation, after which the broom was a broom once more, or the pestle a pestle. I could never get him to teach me this incantation, though it was not for want of trying; open as he was about everything else, he guarded this one secret jealously. At last one day I hid in a dark corner, and overheard the magic syllables; they were three in number. The Egyptian gave the pestle its instructions, and then went off to the market. Well, next day he was again busy in the market: so I took the pestle, dressed it, pronounced the three syllables exactly as he had done, and ordered it to become a water-carrier. It brought me the pitcher full; and then I said: Stop: be water-carrier no longer, but pestle as heretofore. But the thing would take no notice of me: it went on drawing water the whole time, until at last the house was full of it. This was awkward: if Pancrates came back, he would be angry, I thought (and so indeed it turned out). I took an axe, and cut the pestle in two. The result was that both halves took pitchers and fetched water; I had two water-carriers instead of one. This was still going on, when Pancrates appeared. He saw how things stood, and turned the water-carriers back into wood; and then he withdrew himself from me, and went away, whither I knew not.”
That says a lot more about HN than about anything else...

I feel like this form of estimation could be overvaluing estimation. It's an ESTIMATE, and it should be ok if you are wrong to some degree.

There is a continuum of estimate accuracy. If you spend 2 minutes on an estimate you will have a wide error band. The more time you spend, the more accurate you can get.

Let's say there is a task that will take 10 hours. If you spend 2 minutes estimating, you can probably tell it will take between 5 and 15 hours. You could conversely spend 2 hours estimating and conclude that it will take between 8 and 12 hours. But is that improved accuracy worth the time investment?

You should balance accuracy against the value you are getting from it. What decisions are being made from these estimates? What is the cost if you are wrong?

YMMV, but generally speaking in my opinion, if your team is spending 4 hours in a room each sprint "estimating", I think you are wasting time.
My perspective is that the problem of deciding the "correct" prior is a human problem because the human brain is a messy machine. An artificial intelligence which has full access to its own code and its memory in perfect detail will know precisely what it knows about a certain situation, and therefore can estimate a prior that accurately reflects this knowledge.

In the windmill example, the AI can quickly collect all it has in its memory about blade speeds, and maybe spend a self-imposed X min computational time to make a best guess for the prior speed distribution.

Humans can't do this, so we have gone down a philosophical rabbit hole of figuring out this "prior problem", when the real problem is that we are just messy informal thinkers.

> How do we tell who is right?

You are fundamentally conceptually mistaken here. There is nothing right or wrong with two agents disagreeing on the prior. The different prior reflects the before experiment knowledge of the two agents. I am a windmill engineer, so my priors will be much more narrow than yours, who has never seen a windmill outside of a hollywood movie.

He has taught for more than a decade at the Nation’s two top law schools, Yale and Harvard

He served more than five years in the White House, including as White House Staff Secretary and as Associate White House Counsel.

That's true, but it does have some advantages.

Firstly, your friends are more likely to notice it's a scam because they're still connected to your legitimate account. Second, if this does happen to you and you've deleted your account, you can't report it to Facebook. Reporting this issue to Facebook requires either:

1) You (the victim) report the cloned account from the legit account. Or;
2) One of your friends reports it but they must select the victim from their list of friends.

Can't do either if your account is deleted.

That being said, I followed their process for several clients and Facebook refused to do anything about it.

Anything that helps improve accessibility is good! I'm looking forward to the Firefox extension.

I did a quick search for such extensions for Firefox, and there were at least a few. I'm sure Chrome would also have some already.

1. If you have time, some research on existing extensions and how yours is different or better would be nice to have.

Yep yep, sounds good.

Problem is you're not handling errors, you're wasting precious energy shuffling errors to code that knows how to handle it; which is exactly what exceptions could do for you. The end result is the same, except it takes more effort and the code looks like crap.
