So you have nothing to validate your claims. You can’t help but to reject any vision that you don’t understand because you know how racism “really works”, and you aren’t willing to have a discussion of real problems. Enjoy living in your bubble, ignoring the suffering of so many just because they aren’t the ones that you believe to be the victims. If there were only people like you in the world, we’d still have slavery and women still wouldn’t vote. Maybe some day you’ll be able to understand that.

You don’t know the “typical case.” No one does. We can’t. We don’t have the data. You’re making assumptions about what racism “really is”. Racism occurs on a personal basis. Anyone can be a victim to it. And no ones victimhood can nor should be waved off from an outsider who doesn’t understand, or equally who’s willing to say “nah doesn’t count.”

And your last paragraph you dare to insinuate that my suffering, or more to the point I’m making - other people who’s suffering is similar to mine - is just solved by helping those who inflicted this upon me. Well if that’s the case, and under your view minorities suffer at the hands of whites, it only makes sense that since whites are at the top of this hierarchy that we ought to just help whites out because then everything else in the chain follows! We help whites with whatever causes them to inflict pain on the minorities, and then the minorities will be saved as well as the victims of the minorities.

But I bet you don’t see it that way. I bet this logic of “disregard whites” is going to be defended no matter what mental gymnastics it requires. No matter how I apply your own logic against itself, I bet you’ll come to the same conclusion and you’ll still try to convince me that helping all humans who suffer is impossible or untenable or even just down right immoral.

I’ve lived with people telling me this all my life. From my oppressors to privileged folks who have never experienced an ounce of racism in their life - they all tell me my struggles don’t matter and only the people that they consider to be victims matter. It’s sad. It’s sad that the same propaganda that led us to chaining up blacks and suppressing the rights of women and minorities is still alive and well. It’s sad that we can’t seem to learn this lesson. But this is what humans are. Our dissonance masks reality from us. We allow suffering for our own convenience. And that probably won’t ever change.

Policing as an institution and career field needs to go through a revolution to make it more like medicine.

Officers with militarized equipment shouldnt exist. Police with guns should need more-serious training and credentials, but at the moment, police departments across the country actively discriminate in favor of stupidity[1].

And this would not increase budgets. We dont need more governnment thugs. We need zero government thugs, and more public servants accountable to the public.

With bananas I make a banana milkshake when they are too soft to be eaten. With cilantro bunch, I keep some for garnishing rest I make chutney. Simple recipe of cilantro, garlic, green chilies, slices of fresh/frozen raw mango or even raw mango powder and salt etc goes in blender and out comes the chutney.
Utility Ghost: Gamified redistricting with partisan symmetry
As a high school teacher and a gun owner that has competed off-and-on over the years, I vehemently disagree.

The problems of my classroom mirror the problems of my community. This means that while the vast majority of my students are just wonderful young people, I also have my fair share of the chronically depressed, the trauma survivors, and the budding criminals. Are they a small minority? Of course.

But why should I open the window of “what’s possible” on any given day in my classroom to include deadly force by strapping a pistol to my hip. It is - in my opinion - reckless and foolish.
> ...present solutions not problems...

My favorite response to that is that understanding a problem is the first part of a solution. We had names for the sound barrier, smallpox, and moon landing problems long before we had solutions.

Also, don't hire problem solvers and then complain that they are good at spotting problems.

> this is very obviously false, since a call need not involve any variables at all

True, in which case the values would just be constants. But they will still get bound to names in the function's local namespace.

> You are mistaken

No, I left out a case which, it seemed to me, did not affect the main point I was making. If you want to make clear that that's a possible case, fine, you've done so. But you haven't refuted (or even engaged with) my main point at all.

> your talk of namespace bindings is just obfuscation

No, it's a very important difference between what Python variables mean and what variables in language like C mean. You might think the difference is unimportant, but not everyone agrees with you.

> Python arguments are passed by pointer. Python namespaces bind names to pointers.

At the C level inside the interpreter, yes, this is true: every "object", such as the 1, 2, and "three" in your example, is a pointer to a C struct containing the object's data (sometimes including further pointers). Again, that doesn't affect my main point at all.

> There is no "binding" object passed in a function call.

I already agreed to this in my response to pstch upthread (the post of mine you originally replied to). Once more, it doesn't affect my main point at all.
This already exists. It's called a concealed carry permit. Giving somebody who has no law enforcement powers a badge is a bad idea.

Senate Report Reveals Russia Targeted Blacks and Latinos More Than Conservatives
I think it's a story we're all quite familiar with: in the absence of someone keeping an industry honest, the industry tends to develop honesty problems, because cutting corners makes the decision-makers more money, and the externalities are just that: externalities.
Perhaps SpaceX didn't want to sell more than 1.6% of the company at this time, or doesn't need more than $500 million.
Headline obscures that there were two decisions.

A federal judge said the "school district and sheriff’s office...had no constitutional duty to protect the students there during the deadly February massacre" [1]. A county judge, meanwhile, found "Scot Peterson, the armed sheriff’s deputy who heard the gunfire but did not run in and try to stop the attack, did have an obligation to confront [the shooter]."

The New York Times speculates the county judge found Scot Peterson had a "special relationship" with the students, like a crossing guard. That goes above a normal citizen-police relationship to one approaching custodianship. Both decisions are likely to be appealed.

[1] https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/18/us/parkland-shooting-laws...
As far as I know, this is US-specific. For example in Germany, it is very specifically duty of the police to protect the rights of citizens, which includes their right to not be harmed (which also comes from the duty to uphold the law, which is typically being broken when people are harmed).
> In other words, the latter means "set aside one pointer's worth of storage

Set aside one pointer's worth of storage on the heap, yes; not on the stack or in the program's data segment, which is what the C statement I gave does.

> and fill it with the bit pattern for the pointer pointing to the value 17 (which you may have to create first)"

Which has no analogue whatever in the C version.

Also, you completely left out the part about creating an entry in the namespace dictionary, which also has no analogue whatever in the C version, and which involves additional memory allocations.

You’re right. And the fact that you’re being downvoted for making this astute observation really shows is how pervasive racism against whites has become. The left laughs when you try to say the internet has a liberal bias, but if the statement “racism against whites isn’t a serious problem” gets upvotes and an argument against that gets downvoted - nothing more needs to be said.

And frankly what more should we say? People have picked their beliefs. And the overwhelming majority seems to be racism means whites harm blacks. They can’t or won’t accept racism in any other form. I don’t think we can do much to convince them at this point.

Fairness for all humans, regardless of race, gender, etc. That’s all we’re asking. And somehow. Somehow. That’s a problem for the majority of people.
> Information is needed at the call site to determine if it is a private field access compared to an object property access.

Is there? The object.#foo syntax tells you it is private, sure… but you still need know if access is permitted or not. For that, you need to look at some information on object and make a decision, but that information could also inform you as to whether or not the access is to a private field at all. Consider for object.foo, the following:

1. look up, internally in the interpreter, the class definition (recorded when parsing the class {} block)
2. Is .foo private? If no, behave "normally"
3. If yes, decide if access should be allowed.

What about that doesn't work? If that does work, then, the # is pure syntax.

One thing I'm curious about, since you seem adamant that this isn't syntax (particularly since the docs raise the peculiar "SyntaxError" — which implies determining at parse time whether a give obj.#thing is valid): is it only accessible through this.#foo? That is, if I have a class with a member function that takes another instance of the same class, is JavaScript going to tell me that I can't access private fields, despite those being on the current class? (This is fairly different from most languages, and makes some things impossible to express while keeping internals private.)
This is probably the biggest roadblock to this product's success. However BoxLock is in talks with all the major carriers to provide training. The carriers themselves are incentivized to use BoxLock because it provides a guarantee that the package was delivered successfully and securely. They don't want packages stolen either.

You can add delivery instructions to most shipments that tells the delivery driver to use BoxLock.

> Meal planning is work. Grocery shopping is work.

There's definitely a time limit to this. As you get better at cooking, you get better at thinking of recipes that don't have ingredients that quickly spoil, and/or can be cooked from frozen, or can be frozen after cooking, or can be portioned out as part (let's say) half the meals you cook this week.

These habits accumulate, they don't appear all at once. Worse for a service like blue apron: cooking a lot of new recipes fosters that sort of thinking.

I think an important perspective to remember is that most styles of cooking were come up with by people who didn't have refrigeration, although they weren't as fragmented as we are (lots of single people and couples due to capitalist alienation.) When you tighten the constraint of the number of people being cooked for while loosening the constraint of how long ingredients will last and how long things you cook can be saved (without changing the taste much e.g. pickling and drying), things come out about even.

It makes sense if the position was advertised for local candidates only. In that case, you'll have to do what it takes to be similar to a local.

Otherwise, that's just crazy. For a position that is offered to non-local candidates, the company should pay for travel and lodging at minimum. Food would be nice too.
Yes, it knows which packages belong to you. It will only unlock if the package is being delivered to that specific lock and the package is "out for delivery".
This solves the reachability problem. In Kubernetes clusters, as well as traditional virtulaized data center setups, it is possible to encounter a network partition pretty easily. If your assertion is that all nodes and pods running on those nodes are mutually reachable then we need to make sure that’s the case. Pinger makes sure that is true!
To me, your prices seem unrealistic. You can get chicken for like $2 a pound, and you're not using a pound of chicken for a single serving of any meal, so it's something like a dollar or less per person. Starches are dirt cheap, $5 buys you enough pasta or rice or potatoes for at least a dozen servings. E.g. a five pound bag of rice is $3 in Walmart, and if it's a side to some chicken&produce dish, then that comes out to something like $0.20 for starches per person - an order of magnitude difference.
It should be incredibly obvious that America desperately needs to completely tear down and rebuild the entire police institution. They don't exist to protect and serve outside of themselves. They exist to harass minorities, get away with murder by pretending they were scared for their lives and then have the complete gall to act like they're the real heroes in this mess.

There are some individuals I'm sure that try to do their best and actually help people. But the institution as a whole is corrupt and a sham.
One has to strike a bit of a balance. I wouldn't want them to be as heavy handed as YouTube, by contrast.
Unfortunately people don't actually put more info or good pictures. 20-30% of profiles say nothing. Just pictures. In Japan where the Japanese culturally hate putting up pictures of themselves online around 10-15% of profiles don't even have a picture of themselves. (on FB where the goal is not dating it's more like 95% don't have a picture of themselves) And then 90-95% of all profiles say the same things. "I like yoga, shopping, dinning out, movies, travel".

I know this probably is somewhat less in other cultures. Certainly I seen no profiles with no picture in the USA but I still see 80% or so of profiles with no useful info in them, just generics.

Not suggesting a bar is better. I'd love to find and/or develop a better system that some how encourages better matches
You are technically correct, which is the best kind of correct :-)
> No other spacecraft has ever been able to launch a half dozen people into orbit, capture a satellite, and return it to earth for repairs.

The problem is that almost everything Space Shuttle could do, could have been done more effectively by a classic modular spacecraft and a large rocket. Even more, Space Shuttle was fairly limited and inflexible in its capabilities due to its complex in-orbit thermodynamics, monolithic design and available delta-v. Jack of all trades, master of none.

Don't get me wrong, the Shuttle was a great engineering achievement and a great pride point for any American. But it's also a huge waste of resources, which resulted from enormously inflated requirements, particularly military ones. Buran was the same. It's better not to repeat such mistakes.

> That kind of world leading, "best at any cost" mentality is what made the US so technologically dominant globally from the 1950s until recently.

And left it without modular space stations, in this particular case. (and many more)
Thank god I have a specialization that allows me to not have to follow the framework crap. I could care less about staying up to date with some dude's opinionated way of doing things. It has not affected me getting a job, because when I go to get a job I work in an industry where my domain expertise is valued much higher than the fact I like framework X or happen to have used it or forced myself to read some book on it.

I feel sorry for people who all they have is that going for them, it's a rough like constantly keeping up and re-learning the same MVC or UI lipstick every year. If you call yourself a React programmer, you're the next PHP Symfony Programmer or "Rails Developer". It's a completely different kind of engineer, kind of like the difference between someone who does IT but can't code. I cringe and immediately avoid any companies who advertise for "React Engineers" and the like.

I realize that some developers couldn't care less about what they are actually working, the product behind the code but I'm not one of them.
Some of those are living on borrowed time then.
Haven't done it yet but I have read there are s few great PDF slideshow programs that are really good. So you would make your presentation a PDF and then use one of these to page around your slideshow. Has fades, animated page changing, etc.

I kinda like this solution over a "presentation" program as you can use whatever you want and produce slides way nicer then being limited by Pages, Impress, PowerPoint, or whatever.
Given the advances they've made in the past year I think 10% is a conservative estimate of the change in valuation. And, as others have said, if Starlink pans out then they will effectively corner the market on broadband internet, which is a massive multi-billion dollar industry.
If you're doing web dev it just makes it easier to write crap. I am also utterly sick of pentesting every garbage website written in PHP and finding dozens of easily avoidable bugs that always boil down to PHP being terrible at what it does. It may be easy to use, but that's no excuse to use it and write bad software.
I'd been vaguely aware of Bruegel for years, but it was Paul Graham's book Hackers and Painters that made me look more closely. Bruegel's Tower of Babel is on the cover, and Hunters in the Snow appears in the Taste for Makers chapter. Graham called Hunters in the Snow "strangely beautiful," along with Euler's formula, the SR-71, and Lisp.

Notable to me is that a solar installation doesn't appear to be technologically complicated. And failures are very localized and self-limiting.

vs nuclear where we're getting a good idea what the significant failure rate is. One serious event every 10 years. Extrapolating that to a world that uses 100% nuclear energy means one Fukushima/Chernobyl failure per year. Extrapolate that over the 200 year emergency we're at the beginning of and yeah, just no.

I do not understand the bit about the noise. It's like saying it's harder to find a partner in a bigger city, because there are so many other people?

As long as the gender ratios remain similar, I don't understand how a higher amount of users results in worse dating odds. Are you referring to the paradox where the same ultra-hot 100 people get all the messages, were the site's population 100, 100k, or 100 million?

> It also means exposure to paradigms like functional programming, or logic programming. I recommend Haskell, not because you need to learn yet another language, but because the knowledge ceiling in its ecosystem is really high and it's the current lingua franca for papers on functional programming.

Common Lisp is also ideal, it effectively supports paradigms other then functional, and has been or at least was the lingua franca for artificial intelligence for decades.
