My life has been saner when we use the KV store for search or fast lookup and not as the system of record (for that we use a traditional database).

It tends not to occur to me that durability is a feature people are looking for in nosql, but if you’re trying to avoid having three to five copies (SQL, nosql, search, reporting, ?). of your data I could understand. But as the team gets bigger it gets harder to maintain that, figuratively and literally.
It's not really a big deal either way. If you have some experience with parsers/compilers, SQL parsers are pretty trivial. If you don't, there is one in SQLite.

No I understand recipe conversion (worked in restaurants for 10+ years) so I understand everything working on ratios. I just rarely in my professional or personal life cooked by saying I have X amount of an ingredient and want to use all of it. I've always started saying "I need X portions of a completed product, and therefor need to have <insert amount of ingredient>).

Non-shitty devices will behave well, but shitty ones won't. That's the problem.
Yes but in that case disputes between developers can ultimately be resolved by examining the source code. In the case of lawyers nobody can really give you an unambiguously correct answer except in a judgement in court for one case and one set of circumstances.

Not monitor, or not use for advertising targeting?

I'm fine with spam/malware/virus prevention in my Messenger or Gmail. I'm not enormously comfortable getting an ad for baby clothes after I send a private message to someone that I'm pregnant.
Chelsea Manning was granted clemency when it was right time (end of presidency of Obama). It is possible for Snowden as well if right time will come. He has nice team of advisors and I think they will play that game to the end. However I am afraid he has to wait long time for this.

Right... unless the speech being silenced has to do with BDS, or pointing out various things about Israel. Then all of a sudden not moderating it would be "a dangerous path".

Look, I'm on board with the idea that speech shouldn't be policed in these ways, but I find it incredibly disingenuous how the matter is discussed lately. The US government as well as digital platforms have routinely curtailed, surveilled and (in the case of the government) outright punished certain forms of speech by people on the left, but now it's a problem because some people on the right got banned by Twitter and YouTube.

Given this, I find it very hard to take seriously the "free speech" stuff. Show me one person or group on the right who will go to bat for someone who got in trouble for supporting BDS, and then we can talk about free speech.

Until then, it's just a tactic, and quite frankly I respect the tactical savvy of people on the right pushing this issue. They at least understand how to fight for their side, which is more than I can say for Democrats and other left-leaning centrists. But that's all it is, a tactic. It isn't about freedom at all. If you're only concerned about people on your side, your concern is not freedom.

When I was 40, I'd get a job offer from about 40% of the interviews I did.

Now that I'm pushing 50, it's about 10%.

I blame a number of things:

* The biggest one is salary. I'm just not willing to work for what I worked for when I was 40.

* I haven't kept up with the latest technology as much as I should have.

* I'm a bit more risk averse. For instance, when I was 35, I moved to another state for a job.

But a lot of it is just plain ageism. I did an interview last Friday, and when I walked in, the company was full of twenty-somethings. I saw the look on the recruiter's face, when he did the math and realized I was way older than he'd assumed. He just looked horrified.
You lose people when you don't include any evidence and say "supported by mountains of evidence". (I agree with your point but please supplement your claim with evidence.)
Just an anecdotal observation, people I know that run 70+ miles a week, and have full time jobs/families, etc. have to get up at 4:30 AM to get the miles in or rearrange schedules to fit everything in. So maybe any health decline is due to a decrease in quality sleep and increased stress to get the miles in, not the increased mileage. If you have tons of free time, run as much as you like.

Anything you build on earth is inside the atmosphere. Keeping heat away from greenhouse gasses is the whole point.

Objects in space are generally also subject to less weather, and as such they don't materially degrade. You could make a shield out of opaque film that would tear to shreds at the slightest breeze (see JWST sun shield)
An obvious step towards reducing CO2 emissions in the US would be raising taxes on gasoline. Americans are driving ever larger and less fuel-efficient cars in part because gas prices have remained steady or fallen in real terms since the 70s. In fact, Ford announced a few months ago that they will stop selling passenger cars in the US (except the Mustang), to focus on more popular trucks and SUVs.

But this is just about the least politically palatable policy imaginable. Democrats don't like it because it's a very regressive tax—the working poor across much of the country drive to work in older, less efficient cars. And besides being opposed to any "new taxes," the rural Republican base would be hit especially hard by this as well.
I cannot speak for the whole of Europe, but the German model certainly isn't "civility over freedom", but practical concordance: you have several basic rights which unfortunately almost always collide in some form with each other, and you find a way to give maximum effect to all of them.

The difference between America and Germany — very broadly speaking — is that America goes for the local maximum (free speech trumps everything) and Germany goes for a global maximum.
Isn't that tearing them down, not putting them up?
Because the earth is effectively a black body it cools down at T in kelvin^4. This means you need to block a huge amount of energy ~2% of the sun to get around global warming. Sticking something at L1 looks elegant, but you cant just toss junk there it needs serious station keeping making it far more expensive than many assume.

PS: Unfortunately, as a side effect you reduce the energy of all plant life by ~2% solar panels would also be effected. While this is probably no where near as bad as global warming it is something to look into.
Someone disagreed with the notion that responsibility is intrinsically useful.

In response, you posted an opaque quote from some random person without any relevance to any moral framework I’m culturally connected to who thinks responsibility is awesome in and of itself.

I don’t know or care about Jordan Peterson, so I don’t think I’ve made an ad hominem; rather, I think you’re attempting to make an argument from authority, which isn’t very convincing.

I’d feel similarly about a biblical argument, except in the case of the bible, I’d at least acknowledge that while I don’t consider it a moral authority, it has significant cultural heft and is thus worth wrestling with occasionally.

I personally am happy to have most of the responsibilities I’ve gathered in my life, with child rearing high on that list. But I don’t resonate with the idea that it’s the responsibility itself that gives meaning to my life.
That benchmarks game quote supports my point (not sure if you quoted it to contradict me or not?). As for prohibited optimizations, arena allocation is the one that comes to mind since it’s the standard way to avoid O(n) allocs.
firecode.io is my favorite by far, but I'm afraid of it's future as it's been in beta for years and the site has frequent outages. Also I wish they had as many questions as leetcode.
It would be great to have an intermediate step between "you are on your own" and "ENTERPRISE – contact us!". Some 'business' plan, perhaps? I know there's 'pro', but it still has the 'request info' button instead of pricing.

I am hoping this is what they want to do with the SaaS offering.
Which gets to my wish that instead it is the React team themselves that adopt and maintain @types/react more directly, rather than leaving it to the community and/or Typescript devs. Seeing CRA add default support for Typescript transpilation with easy opt-in for type checking, is a great sign that plenty more React developers are going to have a chance at Typescript. Hopefully it becomes more of a two-way street where the Typescript community isn't just typing major React libraries after the fact, but more of the libraries are directly written in Typescript or at least the types are directly maintained by the authors of the APIs.
You're being confronted with a truth about the clear definition of hate speech, and you're resisting moving forward because you intuitively sense the contradiction that your own belief might pose to that. This is where you need to be brave and get past that.

This is covered in the "Where We Are Now" section at the bottom that explains BECCS. The issue is really cost - to remove carbon semi-permanently with trees you have to grow a lot of them, and then bury them deep enough that natural decay processes don't just put the carbon back into the environment. Basically you have to do the exact opposite of what we've been doing with coal and oil for over a century.
> This means a significant portion of the millions of Android phone owners who downloaded these apps were secretly tracked as they scrolled and clicked inside the application. By copying actual user behavior in the apps, the fraudsters were able to generate fake traffic that bypassed major fraud detection systems.

So the fraudsters essentially did what Google is best at -- tracking and making 'use' of the information.
But that's not what this scenario presents. OP was specifically talking about not wanting to leave ingredients around. He's solving a different problem.

All ingredients move together in ratios (got that, totally understand) so I understand HOW this work. What I was commenting on was WHY someone would cook this way. Again, I'm not saying it's wrong, it's just a problem I've never encountered. If I only used 150G of butter and had 100G left, then I have 100G of butter for whatever else I'm cooking.

I'm sure scenarios can be presented for why this is a problem that needs solving (storage space, product expiring, etc) it's never been a way I personally did things.
Or you could just have the power lines under the ground. If they are low enough to be endangered by falling trees, they could perhaps go underground instead. No need to cut down trees or maintain buffer zones along power lines. No annual periods of days/weeks without power for affected areas.
Trees ultimately burn or rot, releasing a large portion of that carbon back into the atmosphere. Cutting them down and burying them to grow more would be ideal, but takes additional work.

Someone want to engineer a tree with enormous, deep roots? Basically make the trees self-burying.
This might be true.

When I was a kid, I saw a full hooded KKK march on TV, and I said "why do we let them march?" and my mom said "because you have to hear from people you don't want to hear from to know free speech is working"

How would you keep a sunshade over one pole? Keeping anything over a single spot requires a geostationary orbit, which by definition is only possible on the equator.

I suppose you could have a bunch of shades in a geosynchronous polar orbit, but I suspect they'd still be more effective over the equator, just because it gets more sunlight.

Except in the case of lawyers and doctors, the gatekeeping is explicitly enforced by law. You cannot write your own prescriptions, and while you can represent yourself in court, the lawyers who run the court do everything to ensure you will likely stumble. Guilds who control legally enforced gates require some kind of counterbalancing force to ensure that they don't work for their own interest rather than the public interest (for which they have been empowered by the government to work).

My point is that if your guild is entrusted with monopoly power by the government, the guild's behavior must be held to a higher standard (work must be in the public's interest, not in the guild member's individual interest). Unfortunately this point seems to be lost in modern culture.
Law is a bit like physics. It does its thing whether you understand it or not.

So most times folks can navigate through life w/o understanding much law, just like non-techies can use telephones w/o understanding how electricity or radios works.

As with most things, its the edge cases that get you in trouble. And, it usually takes more legal expertise than most non-lawyers have to recognize potential legal edge cases.
Go out on your own and the a mountain man in some remote place and live on cheap land. Then you can take your health, security and happiness into your own hands.

It will be much harder for people to extract wealth from your investments if you have none. It will be much harder for the government to tax you since you have very few things to tax.

I know it takes capital to start but that is the world we live in. Everyone has already claimed everything. The system is world wide and looking to expand to Mars and space. (unless you move to Alaska, I think they still give free land away)
Yes. This is what Chainalysis does, among many other things — track tainted coins that people are intentionally obscuring the origin of.
The article is funny, it says blossoms were sighted in "an area stretching from Kyushu... to Hokkaido." Unless there's some other Kyushu that I don't know about, that's the whole country. Look at a map, Ms. Brigit Katz of Smithsonian.com. Kyushu is at one end, Hokkaido is at the other. It's like if you said "an area stretching from California to Maine."

Japan's not big, but I mean this is as "widespread" as you can get while still having the word "Japan's" in the title.
I agree, although you could interpret that approach as a cynical attempt to capture a wider audience. It's similar to when a show throws both liberals and conservatives a bone using various characters or dialogue.

That falls under a number of strategies for Solar Radiation Management [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_radiation_management], which, as you say, doesn't address the core CO2 concentration problem, but it might buy us time.

For one thing, this definition eschews a common standard. Rather, violations are based on arbitrary criteria of "dominance" - which is popular with certain ideologues but has very little support in showing that this is actually a good metaphor for understanding our society. Anyway, in practice (and probably in your mind), this definition would entail grouping people by their skin color and labeling one group as extra susceptible for violating YOUR hate speech code and another group being completely exempt.
Lots of it, yeah, but tree farms are a thing too. That's a matter of cost in modern times though. Currently faster/cheaper to convince a government to let you chop down rainforests, but that won't always be true.

Definitely curious how hard it would be to have drones plant trees in arid regions. Feels like I've seen some related projects before
Virtualization technology is quite mature now, and allows running low-level code (that can access the stack) with safety. Servers run this type of code all the time!

Why would we throw away these achievements, and turn WASM (with its potentially simple instruction set) into a complicated monster, that's prone to security problems through its complexity alone?

Also, language designers do not want a GC embedded in their assembly language; they want to implement it themselves, using their own constraints.
I'm definitely with you about the whole glass-back issue. I know people like wireless charging, but glass isn't the only option.

Can we please go back to plastic? It was lighter and far more impact resistant.

Also, can I just have a rectangular screen? I don't need it to be curved or have rounded edges. I'm ok with a chin and/or forehead bezel. No notch, though.

Not to mention headphone jacks, removable batteries, and physical buttons.
It seems global warming politic's main focus is to implement a global carbon tax in one form or another. Proceeds from the tax are administered by a supra-national government. That's how the Paris accord worked and very credible global warming authorities said was the only solution to global warming. Does this company have a business model of being the recipients of the global carbon tax?
And with the current trend of ongoing exploits actually safer than threads.

Publishers live and die by Google. They do everything they can to try and milk out ANY ROI from ANY visitor to try and sell/market/promote.

Users don't really visit websites anymore - they sit on facebook/google/Reddit/hacker news. So you have to REALLY market to those few people you get from Google search results... as Google really wants you to BUY those users from them - not write good content to get them (even though that's what they say to do..)

one day you can be doing well with google - making enough money a day to pay for your hosting and then next day, serps change and your traffic tanks and you then spend more money to try and correct it and you start copying what others say works - email lists, live chats, exit ads, moore mobile ads - you pray you start earning high CPMs and you start looking to arbitrate - find cheap traffic to hopefully pay less than what you earn to get more traffic and you start falling for fiverr deals that are fake an SEO tricks that penalyze you in the end and before you know it, you're 20k in debt running a website that most people leave within 30 seconds and even though you may have solved thousands of people problems my helping them fix something, learn something, do something or expereince something they choose to create a facebook post or tweet about it rather than comment or join your community - so those big giants earn a LOT more revenue on publisher backs.. for the average deal, facebook and google will earn 80 plus bucks a year on what you do, but us lowly publishers will spend more than that per user to try and ink out some successs

and in the end, the irony is that a website set up to show how bad the industry is will end up with more links, more traffic, more google juice, and higher link authority than a publisher with thousands of hours of work put in being creative, helpful and insightful..

and you wonder why the web is getting so painful :)
