To anyone who wishes to simply not have to deal with airline miles earned on credit cards ever again, here's a great option I found: if you have $100k+ across checking + investment accounts at Bank of America + Merrill Edge (their low-cost brokerage arm) you get...

1) 2.625% cash back on BofA's Premium Rewards/Travel Rewards credit card. No messing around with airline miles. Just buy whatever ticket you want. Or, you know, pocket the cash.

2) 5.25% cash back on BofA's Cash Rewards card for "online purchases," up to $2500 per quarter.

3) 100 free trades per month at Merrill Edge. You're not locked into any fund companies and can buy whatever you want. I buy-and-hold Vanguard ETFs.

4) Free BofA checking account, with unlimited ATM rebates + a free safe deposit box. It pays negligible interest, so you may want to use another checking option if you hold larger cash balances, but it's helpful to have around just in case you need a physical branch for anything.

It's really a great deal, and it's wonderful to never have to think about the "gotchas" of redeeming airline miles.
Which means you'd notice the value of a constant being exfiltrated, since a maliciously named constant doesn't magically expose secrets outside of the application.

If you fly only a handful of times per year, optimizing for current cost is probably the best plan anyway.

If you fly a lot for work, the company may have a preferred carrier (ours is Delta), and the status you accrue from work travel may allow you to book domestic economy and almost always get upgraded to First class. (Basically, unless I’m flying out of Atlanta on Friday eve or into on Sunday PM/Monday AM, I’m >75% for an upgrade.)

This makes me fairly likely to choose Delta for personal domestic travel, as long it’s within a couple hundred bucks of another carrier (or unless that other carrier is Spirit and the price difference is less than $500,000...)

<1% is not non-negligible.

And again, that's not what was said. You seem to have a very difficult time responding to the actual words people use rather than what you want to pretend they said.

>It’s not propaganda when it comes mostly from the people on the left

Wow.
You're probably right, also, since most travelers optimize for cost it will take longer to earn enough points for substantial rewards.

It took me at least a half dozen cross country flights and at least two international flights to earn enough miles for a free one way cross country flight, the benefit just isn't there for normal travelers but I guess this is why it's called a "frequent flyer" program.
I suspect it works well for business travellers though; they are not that price sensitive (as long as the fare is within the company policy).
Can this, or any solution allow for a cell to overlap into another row or column?

They started with the low-latency version, so if they switch to higher-latency code now it would feel like a huge performance degradation.
I had no idea what dragonofly is, it looks to be an experimental BSD based OS
https://www.dragonflybsd.org/release54/

DragonFly belongs to the same class of operating systems
as other BSD-derived systems and Linux. It is based on the
same UNIX ideals and APIs and shares ancestor code with
other BSD operating systems. DragonFly provides an
opportunity for the BSD base to grow in an entirely
different direction from the one taken in the FreeBSD,
NetBSD, and OpenBSD series.

DragonFly includes many useful features that differentiate
it from other operating systems in the same class.
What is the complexity of set operations on arrays? This seems a bit too much sugar to me, to the point where people will end up writing inefficient code because they will thing these methods are more performant than they really are. Usually, I like to see explicit conversions to sets to make the performance characteristics explicit.
> it is to break Facebook up and restrict it's ability to monopolize the online space. Real competition in social networking would mean communities could form their own rules and norms around what's acceptable - like in the forum era - without relying on a central authority such as Facebook to do it for them.

Yes. One thing holding back competition is network effects, i.e. if I create a new social network, it isn't very useful until a significant number of people are on board. Fortunately now we have the federated social networking with the Fediverse, so a new network can piggyback on all the users in the Fediverse (and the new network in turn helps grow the Fediverse).

> A decentralized protocol/system like Mastodon allows this kind of partitioning of the social space.

Nitpick: Mastodon is a system, the protocol is ActivityPub.
Vandals love targeting street-bots. Maybe if enough of them are around, then the vandals will either grow bored, or the incidents will be overshadowed by the shear delivery volume.
Pretty sure gaining an understanding of technology is more beneficial than licking the floor. Besides, parenting allows the parents to say, "let's sit and play word games together in your tablet." My 5yo loves playing in the tablet, and it's not used as a baby sitter. Either we do it together, or she plays the simpler games (colors, letters, numbers) with her younger sister. Teaching and explaining to others is a beneficial skill as well. Being on a tablet, does not necessitate that it be antisocial.
To be fair, even on small sites I have written, Privacy Policies can get truly huge due to the boilerplate.

Most of my sites have Google Analytics that gets disabled when DNT is turned on. That plus server logs for fail2ban and DoS protection easily bumps the policy to 500 words.

Do you use cookies for storing basic session data? That's more. Run ads or use affiliate links? That's even more.

There's limit to a sane Privacy Policy, but all of this is rudimentary, common stuff.

Where I live (Eastern Europe) the policemen are generally known as not being the brightest, there are countless jokes made about their intellect (or lack thereof) and propensity to generally follow orders without giving it a second thought. I've just checked and it seems that even the related Wikipedia [1] page has a section on this:

> Policemen: Most Romanian people are not fond of the law enforcement institutions and try to avoid contact with constables. Romanian public opinion about policemen says that they are primitive, uneducated and totally corrupt. Some of these police jokes belong to the absurd genre.

Q: How do you choose a stupid policeman from a group of
policemen?

A: At random.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but using window.addEventListener("resize", () => (), 200) is no good, you probably should consider window.requestAnimationFrame() and debouncing. Otherwise, your library will drain battery juice, despite it's really lightweight. Say, on Android, actions like typing into an input field, changing orientation, scrolling backward and triggering url bar appearing, all of them do trigger costly document reflow.

You're probably thinking of the type of iron they add to breakfast cereals, which is the mineral kind you don't absorb. Also, you wouldn't absorb it anyway because calcium-rich food (like, I dunno, milk) block the absorption of iron. There was an episode on a Dutch TV show where they investigated this, and they found you could actually make Special K flakes follow a magnet when floating it in water.

The episode is among the few that you cannot stream from their own website, but it's, still on YouTube[0]. I am pretty sure legal threats from Kellogs had to do with tgat, because the week after the episode in question aired, people on that program were forced to publically apologise for joking that Kellogs was putting crusher bicycles in their cornflakes. Also, Kellogs actually took out a full-page ad stating that they don't and that the people on that show were slandering.

The corporation doth protest to much, methinks.

I have re-tested on my skylake notebook and updated the blog. It confirms darn old CPU I use as my benchmark machine. Maybe it is bit more sensitive to the difference which is expected for non-server CPU.

GCC does "almost full LTO" with partitioning, while clang does thinLTO that does make most of code size/speed tradeoffs without considering whole program context, so it may be interesting to get both alternatives closer in code size/performance metrics.

I have got Firefox developer account of level1 and I am looking into official benchmarking architecture which I have now updated to GCC 8 with LTO+PGO.
Lisp is strongly typed and uses dynamic typing. Compiled Common Lisp code absolutely does not dispatch on every variable access.

And there of course have been and still are operating systems written in Lisp without a single line of C. Some of them even run on decidedly non-exotic hardware like x86_64 or arm64.
I don't see a lot of evidence to support the thesis.

"When a dollar store opened up in Haven, Kansas—subsidized through tax breaks by the local government—sales at the the nearby Foodliner grocery store dropped by 30 percent, "

This seems to be a case of a specific kind of competition, and the Dollar Store is good at that.

The corporation is 'extra evil' for selling stuff cheaper than the 'normally evil corporation' down the street? These arguments are really hard.

As long as produce is available - and by all reasoning it is ... then remaining conclusions are a stretch.

Cheaper prices are generally good for consumers, especially the most vulnerable.

Also should note that it is 'fresh produce' that tends to be the cheapest food. 'Processing' is where the cost is, ergo, and maybe thankfully, processed foods will be more expensive.
The drivers aren't where the important trade secrets are. Those are all in the hardware or in the proprietary firmware that the driver has to upload to the hardware, or in a userspace blob as with AMD's GPU drivers. The code that actually runs in the kernel on the host CPU doesn't reveal any valuable IP given the way most hardware is designed these days.
My takeaway focuses on Facebook and other “real name” social networks’ being the wrong platforms for posting dissenting opinions.

If you want to post radical* content, any tool which makes it easy to connect said content back to your real identity should be a non-starter.

On the flip-side, gaining enough of a following with throw-away, anonymized accounts is a challenge unto itself.

I’m not sure what the answers are to help people understand the differences and offer alternatives. How many of the students described in the article who were beaten and imprisoned after posting “objectionable” content did so knowing they’d likely serve as martyrs for their causes?

> Facebook can't stop the spread of authoritarianism, because it was designed in such a way that it can't help but be the perfect tool for authoritarian elements.

Centralised networks are a perfect match for authoritarianism.

> They're (arguably wittingly or unwittingly) a digital stasi; listening and collecting everyone's conversations, tracking and collecting social interactions and connections between groups of people, tracking and collecting people's online interests.

It's definitely wittingly: Facebook's entire business model is based on knowing as much as possible out of people in order to monetise that knowledge.
> Now the police dreams that one look at the gigantic map on the office wall should suffice at any given moment to establish who is related to whom and in what degree of intimacy; and, theoretically, this dream is not unrealizable although its technical execution is bound to be somewhat difficult. If this map really did exist, not even memory would stand in the way of the totalitarian claim to domination; such a map might make it possible to obliterate people without any traces, as if they had never existed at all.

I think that's referring to newer designs which fail-safe by using things like gravity so that the reaction automatically terminates in the event of failure.
When you consider the whole life cycle of nuclear, you have to take into account the next few hundred thousand years as the waste loses its radioactivity. Who knows how many natural disasters, and therefore deaths, will happen based on nuclear waste that is currently stored in insecure, leaky above-ground containers. If you consider deaths per year of risk, there's no way that nuclear energy is as safe as solar.
There's a saying in China:

Yeah good question considering they offer less benefit so they should naturally cost less. Seems like something the author could lead with.

I subscribed to Scott's Cheap Flights to see some new (to me) parts of the world on the cheap. I'd say 80% of the flight deals are basic-economy-class seats and it's exceedingly rare to see a similar deal for the next fare class up. In other words if the normal difference between basic economy (can't pick your seat, luggage is extra) is $200, the difference between basic and regular is now far more. In fact it's so much more the flyer may as well pay the upcharge to take a bag.

I'm not sure if this is airlines dumping basic economy seats because they simply don't sell, or if they're trying to make flyers used to paying for upgrades since it's still all in cheaper than the next fare class.

Regardless it makes sense for airlines to price basic economy for the least amount of air miles as the seats again offer the least benefit and the airline will make their money up billing cash rather than miles for the extras.

Which nobody made. The claim was that they worked fewer hours and had more nutritious diets. You should really consider reading the posts you reply to.

>It’s good because it’s provided us with abundance to the point where we are no longer struggling just to feed ourselves

We haven't been struggling just to feed ourselves in over 2000 years. Obesity and diet caused diseases are not an improvement over healthy diets. An excess of food is not superior to the correct amount of food.

Well if you setup an anonymous account with Facebook and use their Tor hidden service for the simple reason of harassing people, then of course you will get the ban-hammer. Some people just like being anonymous because they don't want their real name attached to their Facebook personal preferences. Such data is still precious to Facebook, but then the user runs the risk of outing themselves by what they 'like' and who they associate with, so I guess the trick is to keep activity on those sort of accounts to a minimum, which kind of sucks but it has to be done to maintain a reasonable anonymous presence on their platform.
Lens are about composition and abstracting your operations over unknown structures. I don't know where did you find anything about immutability, as plain data accessors are perfectly fine for that.

The motivation on the article is basically this paragraph:

"Lenses allow you to abstract state shape behind getters and setters. Instead of littering your codebase with code that dives deep into the shape of a particular object, import a lens. If you later need to change the state shape, you can do so in the lens, and none of the code that depends on the lens will need to change."

Immutability does not make its way there.
Site reliability engineering is operations
> tl;dr: to increase engagement, social networks have turned into popularity contests. As with other popularity contests, they are usually vain.

The idea of "engagement" as a key metric for some of these services is bizarre. When Netflix changed from 5-star ratings to like/dislike to "increase engagement", the usefulness of ratings on the site plummeted. I will take a single, considered review over thousands of mindless "+1" clicks any day of the week.

Emoji "reactions" are like that too. They're fun to click on, but are all noise and no signal if you actually want feedback.

About your question, the reason is that `===` is aliased to `Range#include?` which checks if the argument is a discrete element contained in the range.

That range of `Date`s does not include any `DateTime`s, so the inclusion check returns false.

`Range#cover?` on the other hand, just uses >= and <= to check .

i agree to a lot of your points. nuclear power has had few incidents, but those there have been have had far stretching consequences and have caused massive casualties spanning multiple generations let alone the permanent increase in background radiation which is slowly eating away at everything.

for me it's the ultimate of the bad / destructive ways to create energy and should be avoided (opinion.)

i'd say with those stats in mind hydroelectric and wind power are some of the winners, even though of course the equipment manufacturing and decomissioning of these isn't totally clean, they are a big step in the right direction of non-destructive cleanER energy source.

I honestly wouldn't bother committing to any single airline until you were traveling enough to qualify for some kind of reward tier somewhere - I go all-in on Delta/Skyteam when I can because the miles I earn get reward status that includes free checked bags and seat upgrades and other perks like that, being able to eventually redeem some miles for flights is an almost inconsequential perk for me.

I get waaaaay more value out of buying regular economy tickets and flying (most of the time) in at least economy plus, if not first class on small regional routes on the free upgrades than I could out of tickets purchased on miles.

(I'm typically around a couple dozen flights a year, so frequent enough to have basic status, but nowhere near frequent enough to get top-tier business traveler level status...)

This is probably the biggest feature in 2.8! The super non-standard select behavior was a (probably unfairly, but still real) turn off to people trying Blender for the first time. The more Blender can bring its UI in line with industry standards the better for Blender adoption.
