Just out of curiosity, do you also think its totally fine to treat fat people negatively? Ugh. The amount of vitriol in this whole comment section towards smokers is disturbing. Almost every smoker I know picked up the habit in their early teens. A habit which is extremely addicting, and very hard to kick, more so the longer you've been doing it. Being shitty to them certainly wont help.

At the macro level first they were shuffled out doors, which was fine but sucks when the weather is poor. Then it was no smoking in bars, in your own home, within 50 meters of a door (good luck in a packed in city). Then it was "we don't hire smokers, even ones who don't smoke while they are at work". Then it was oh you switched to vaping because it doesn't smell as bad, has a much lower health risk but we're even going to be shitty to you for trying that.

Maybe, just maybe we should try to remember that these folks are PEOPLE and still deserve to be treated with a modicum of decency, the same as we do for the poor, the overweight, members of the opposite sex, those of different gender identities and sexual preferences and so on and so forth. Or would you prefer everyone go back to being shitty to anyone else who wasn't a carbon copy of themselves?

Thanks for the link however the point is simple: people who write those norms have no idea what programming means and how it can be done in modern desktops.

If, and only of, we have modern Alto or LispM perhaps we can teach few "programming" concept to let most scholarized people able to script/design their own "home environment" on a desktop otherwise it's only a waste of time especially if is done as classic high schools in Italy or Sweden (starting with some Pascal dialect end try to offer C or JS after).
A tip from my blue collar days, when I also only had a 20 minute lunch: eat a decent breakfast, and pack something like an apple/granola bar that you can quickly snack on at ~2-3 pm. If i try to wolf down food that quickly I just feel ill & sluggish, but eating a smaller lunch & a mid-afternoon snack actually left me feeling better. I continue to do this, it helps avoud afternoon sluggishness.

Although I would miss the rest of break time, I'd much rather work 0.5 hr later in the day and have a brief moment of respite.
How China Hid Its Ambitions for Hegemony in Asia
I have a few recommendations for you.

We use `less -XRF` by default. You can change this to whatever you want via the config file `~/.config/litecli/config`. Just uncomment the line that says `# pager = "less -SXRF".

Adding the `-S` to the list of options will make it much better. It will not wrap long lines but instead it will enable horizontal scrolling (using arrow keys).
Check for pager section on this page for some details: https://litecli.com/output/

The other option is to set the `auto_vertical_output = True` in the config file.

This option will cause results to be displayed vertically if they are too wide for the current window.

Millennial and Gen Z Trends
A lot to say here, but you should try to do a web search for these ideas as they're widely published. I even was given results with famous Youtubers having videos dedicated to exactly this topic. This one[1] opens up with exactly what I said: 'Most dangerous and expensive manned launch system in history.'

It would be great if people were inclined to, when presented with evidence or arguments which disagree with their worldviews, to examine the evidence themselves. In this case, it would even be really convenient (and fun) to do that. But I know most people aren't like that, and are more likely to rely on their prejudgments and say, as you did, "that's a rather slanted view." It's very common, even where it should be nowhere to be found, like in science. Reminds me of the famous quote by Planck:

>A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.

You may be aware of some other more-famous mismanagements in the space industry like the Pioneer Anomaly being difficult to study because no data was retained--same as with most all of the work done in the Apollo program.

The problems were of groupthink, and authority/hierarchy. The shuttle was chosen by Nixon over Von Braun's plans because of those reasons. The military industrial complex was involved, as well as the intelligence agencies, and they tranformed the shuttle into something other than what NASA originally designed. And nobody really knows why he chose the side-grouped design, many speculate because Nixon thought it looked cool.

Before Challenger killed 7 people, there were engineers that had raised precise concerns of the exact problem, under the exact conditions, which would cause this disaster. Culture and politics had become so bad that detailing the problem was unacceptable. Groupthink and hierarchy developed a culture not tolerant of dissent. That's why Feynman agreed to testify of the problem because he had credence to lend to the engineer's claims. It was negligent manslaughter that killed those astronauts.

It’s just a word to learn, like lambda or for. At the end of the day you have to learn the semantics anyway; the label should be below your noise floor.

Musicians don’t complain about having to use Italian words (e.g. fortissimo). Objecting to the foreign origin of iota (where the foreignness can be from its Greek origin or mathematical origin) is not worth the effort.

> comments like these

I strongly disagree specifically about comments like these throughout an active code base. A well named variable or method can act as a much better descriptor of what’s happening and doesn’t have the same maintenance cost.

I think we both agree that comments are valuable, just not the scope. Comments are valuable when you’re doing something unexpected or where the code fails to explain what’s happening.

For what it’s worth I mostly work with Ruby, JavaScript, and TypeScript which definitely color my views.
You would think they could apply a hidden track at a certain frequency that is inperceptable to a human or a pattern of changes in volume to prevent it being passed through their API.

Even in the presence of superhuman medial AI, we still should insist on human experts (i.e. highly-trained doctors) not just in the loop, but at the center of it. This adds another required skill to the repertoire of doctors—understanding the AI systems that they are utilizing (overseeing?), and communicating risk/results to patients.

In other words, this still leaves the same problem—students getting crushed by the medical education gauntlet.
Considering that it is a third-party product, I would say no.

The problem with that analogy is Med school treats medicine like speaking English. But you can simplify the material and treat it like teaching a constructed language.

For example if you named the bones in the fingers as left, thumb, two then it’s little effort to recall. Instead people need to recal the stuff like distal phalanges. Math is arguably worse with redundant notations for the same thing. So, I see the benifit of avoiding creating multiple systems.

It would be reasonable to expect that as part of TWC’s contract with Apple, they’re contractually required to keep individual location data private. I wasn’t able to find any concrete evidence of this except for the TWC privacy policy for the Apple TV, which seems to explicitly differ from the normal TWC privacy policy in that it excludes the sale of individual-level data to advertisers. (If I’m reading this correctly.)

https://weather.com/en-US/appletv-privacy/

Standard TWC privacy policy for comparison:

https://weather.com/en-US/twc/privacy-policy#us-how-we-share...

I don’t think that Apple has any technical privacy measures in place here, but I would be deeply surprised if, after all their pro-privacy advertising, they allowed a default app to be (at the contractual level) a giant privacy risk for their customers.
Handicap Principle

DBCLI (https://www.dbcli.com/) is an open source org that made pgcli, mycli, mssql-cli etc.

LiteCLI is part of that org. So you can think of it as a clone of mycli that happens to work with SQLite.

The code base is largely similar between mycli and litecli. The changes are to support the SQLite backend and to support the dot commands (like .tables, .mode etc).

So the feature set should be same.

The DBCLI tools are not created by a single individual (anymore). We have a team of core devs and the lead maintainer for pgcli, mycli and litecli are all different people.

EC2 and Google Cloud concern me a lot more than Facebook and Reddit. A lot of those censor-able platforms have only been successful because the users believed they were using something different than it actually was (surprise, Tumblr users.) We still have Wikipedia, Archive.org, Bittorrent, Tor, Bitcoin, and so on.

To define China's system of censorship as successful seems premature. We have had similar systems in the past, and while they maintained some form of stability for the status quo they ultimately hindered those society's progress.

In the US, I've worked at several places where I've gotten strange looks for bringing in lunch. Don't know why exactly, I can take ~15 minutes in the morning and pack something better than most lunch places serve. I would understand if I was bringing in garlicky curry or something similar that causes the break room to smell, but I normally bring in a sandwich.

I think part of this might be that it looks 'cheap'.

In Brazil its called that as well, but these days its more associated with fitness people and meal prepping in my mind.

Here its mostly buffet restaurants (huge restaurants many times) where you "make your plate and pay per kg", and there is always dessert and fried food.

In Lisbon I saw mostly restaurants where you pay for a "menu" (a "special plate" for the day) which made it easier for me to control my intake, easier for the smallish restaurants to prepare, etc.

This still leaves two open questions:

1. Does Apple’s contract with TWC allow them to market individual-level data to advertisers in the same way that TWC can with their own app? It would be shocking if the answer was “yes”.

2. To what level of resolution is the default Weather app lat/long data, compared to third party apps?
As a Chinese national, somehow this article does not come across as negative to me. Weird.
Great question! I am working on a method to anonymize DNA, applying cryptography at the molecular level [0].

Regarding the statement in the article about anonymization, you are correct. These data are not anonymized, your name is just removed from the file. This does not truly anonymize the data, for reasons you outlined.

Interesting quote from Linda Avey, the co-founder of 23andMe: “It’s a fallacy to think that genomic data can be fully anonymized”[1]. I disagree, and think that eventually we will be able to anonymize your genome in a test-tube, so that the data is secure before it ever touches a computer.

It's Milan's dialect but commonly used in all north Italy and maybe in many part of the center (I'm Italian)...

Of course not everyone bring food from home, especially in big towns where "worker's launch" cost around 9/10 euros, but that's the name I always hear. And it has on many journals recently (so, not only in north Italy) due to a series of litigation between schools and parent that do not want their child to eat school-provided food coming from obscure cooperative society often at the center of many scandal for low quality food and hygiene.

Admittedly I'm not yet using it in production, but the simplicity is the most appealing factor, albeit this depends a lot on client libraries used. In addition to my original comment, with Postgres we also had to deal with schemas and migrations.

We can also easily leverage reactive streams with reactive Spring Data. Technically you could also use JDBC in a reactive manner, but it looks unlikely to work with the frameworks we use with Postgres.
I would turn the remark around and say that one should consider if a NoSQL database is required at all.
I don't know the entire history but as a federal program it started in 1946. [1] It's long been sort of a political hot button. As you say, the impetus was (and is) that children from poor or otherwise disadvantaged home environments got at least one full meal at lunchtime.

- TypeScript

JS will eventually support types natively and will be similar to TS/Flow's API. I have more faith in ReasonML taking off than Dart/Flutter but I hope I'm wrong.

- React and React Native, even ReactXP/react-native-web if appropriate

Vue is good but not good enough to convince most of the community and the community makes it. Their native strategy needs more work, and it's too valuable not to have one.

- Apollo Client

So much boilerplate disappears, and it's powerful enough to be your one data source which enforces many best practices and capabilities.

- GraphQL Gateway stitching GraphQL Servers and serverless resolvers

GraphQL/serverless does for the backend via microservices what React did for the frontend via components. The benefits to the entire stack are countless. Apollo Server (even AppSync) make it simple.

- A serverless datastore

There's also many great GraphQL ORMs but managing infrastructure/scaling should be avoided.

The practical upshot of which is that the various drugs affect various people quite differently. I have trialled various pharmaceuticals over the years for my assortment of mental health issues. Some I will never take again. Some I take only if I really need to. Some I take every day. Some work great for me but suck for people I know. Some suck for me but have changed others' lives.

Definitely ignore that guy. While I personally would not use an iOS device for anything other than communicating, consuming media and entertainment (and have had just about every iOS device Apple sold, but I do my "real" work on an MBP), I really appreciate the thought you put in to this and double appreciate that you shared the thinking AND the code.
> I assume Django is similar.

I'd say more than Rails. Rails actually doesn't make too many choices about the application itself. Django does - it kinda expect the application to be CMS-y (which is super useful for a _lot_ of work - but not if you're not doing anything CMSy), has default for authentication which aren't great (usernames that aren't emails, for example) and has a sub-standard (but not terrible) ORM. The admin interface is useful in the beginning, but becomes a drag on development as time goes by.

Django is workable, so I wouldn't say "stay away," but I wish more companies went with something like Flask + SQL Alchemy. My experience is that people who pick Django often leave companies after a year, leaving a mess for others to clean up.

> And why PostgreSQL by default?

PostGIS. I know projects that ended up with two databases, because they picked MySQL early, and later needed GIS features.

Same opinion on redux.. but I will not pick django on the py world (I had done too much projects with it and think that there are better approaches (pyramid/flask on the sync world and aiohttp on the async side). Async python had made me feel python fun again :)

Anyway I also like a lot working with go (where the stdlib is so well designed that you don't need a framework at all :))

Also node it's not too bad.. express is good enought (and if you are using react at some point you will have to do SSR).

On the front side there is also angular (they are doing a so good job with ivy)

Anyway, also consider preact.. it's fun and amazing.
In addition to ignorance about the non-biodegradable nature of cigarette butts, I think it's very much a case of egocentric pseudo-macho faux-rebellion against society.

It comes from the same mindset as diesel truck owners rolling coal on cyclists and people in hybrid cars, and destruction of public property (park benches, trash cans and such).

Some people either just don't give a shit about other people, or are actively antagonistic.
Non-relational (NoSQL) databases like Mongo serve a different purpose. They store data in forms other than the traditional relational database table. Theoretically, for certain workloads, they make horizontal scaling easier and improve availability. However, most workloads are suited just fine with a relational database like Postgres.
MongoDB was released nearly 10 years ago. Do you believe those issues are still relevant today?

> I suggest that a right to privacy is a mistake. It shouldn't exist.

You need to think more carefully about your position. Your statement makes it seem like you are ignorant of history. People have been imprisoned and killed for their correspondence. It is still happening in the world today.

> David Brin explains it

"Brin spends an entire chapter exploring how important some degree of privacy is for most human beings, allowing them moments of intimacy, to exchange confidences, and to prepare - in some security - for the competitive world."

Brin doesn't agree that it's a good idea for everyone to see your letters, bank balance, and other personal secrets. It seems like you got the wrong idea about his book.

> I think the transition to a transparent society is inevitable.

You haven't explained or justified this idea at all.

The problem with your concept of absolute zero privacy is competition. As long as privacy can be exploited, as long as a lack of privacy can be used against you in any way, the need for privacy will exist.

The idea you have that privacy could go away can only happen if all humans are cooperative, and economic systems based on competition are eliminated. We can't have absolute transparency and Capitalism at the same time. We can't have politics or business either. Absolute transparency works for fictional races like the Borg on Star Trek. What you're talking about seems like a theoretical concept that is divorced from reality.

Current trends are in the opposite direction, so what makes you think we're on the way? Business is getting more competetive, not less. Societies are getting more political, not less. In some countries, government and human rights abuses have been regressing. The need for privacy is going up, not down.

> I think it's a good idea to let everyone else see my bank balance ...

You didn't explain why. Why is it a good idea? Do you want to post all that information here and now? Why aren't you publishing it already if it's a good idea?

Your purchase history is just one of many examples of something that is being used against you. There are insurance companies buying personal data like purchase history in order to gather evidence for denials on claims.

I don't think that's a good example. There are only 206 bones in the adult human body. It doesn't take very long to memorize those. The real memorization time is spent on other stuff for which we don't even have common English names. You could invent new, simpler names for every anatomical part, every disease, every symptom, but that would be a huge undertaking and would only make memorization marginally easier.
