I think getting good at getting good at things is also good to do at that age.

The reason why the right to not be offended is a positive right is that I am obliged to find out what might offend you, which is impossible when speaking to a large crowd, and if there is a need to express something along the same ideas I am forced to express it as you would or not at all. Eg if you believe everything is a social construct I can’t express what I think is influenced by biology if it offends your beliefs.

However, you are correct that the line can be blurry and right in general should be granted with great caution.

I would not choose to have a child knowing that his life would be full of suffering. Hardship is not necessary for individuals to be “good”. As well, from a practical standpoint, if you’re going to subject a woman to the pain of IVF, far better to have that pain result in a healthy child.
Your comment requires readers to dive head-first into the train fantasy myth, which has been debunked numerous times. Trains will not happen in the very sparsely populated USA, from Amtrak to NYC to Cali high speed rail, we are seeing evidence that trains are extremely hard to accomplish even in high-density areas. We must move forward amazingly fast for climate change if we are to avoid trillions in damage, and we simply can not do so if we don't include massive amounts of batteries into our energy system.

On cars, I agree with you, people are very irrational when it comes to cars. I'd be in favor of a massive vehicle miles traveled tax, to repair our roads and to tax emissions from transit. But the simple fact is people love being in their own car and there's no other viable option for most people.

Furthermore, even if you magic a train system into existence, you still don't solve the battery/energy storage situation with trains (which will never have the will or funding or political backing to ever be built, as we are seeing over and over). Without batteries or nuclear (another two train-like near-impossible task), we'll still need natural gas peakers, and we won't solve climate change. Batteries are the only area we're moving forward, and that's why Tesla is doing amazing good for the planet.

New github homepage is extremely bad at a reduced size as well.

below 1012 pixels and they remove search and anything in navigation for a hamburger button, where there is clearly still enough room for these elements.

at 768 pixels they remove the new repository button.

They should be focusing on their desktop experience. Sure their mobile experience is still fucked, but you'll find that at least 90% of people using github every day are form a PC. Who programs from their phone?

The fucking navigation menu on a browser that big is pretty inexcusable. It's a step back from any coherent design
I wonder how carbon dating works in this case. My understanding is that the dating method depends on the organism interacting with the carbon in the atmosphere during its lifetime (where carbon-14 is produced by cosmic rays). The interaction stops after organism dies, after which the level of carbon-14 in its body starts to decay.

But here the whole ecosystem was supposedly isolated from the atmosphere for at least 10k years. Wouldn't all organisms, both alive and dead, just have the same (decaying) level of carbon-14 after isolation happened?

EDIT: expanded for clarity.

I also think stack-ranking is hard or even impossible to get right. The criteria often favor those people that produce visible work and tend to disfavor people that enable said work (think: producing new features vs. maintenance, writing high-profile code vs. doing the review for those, producing visible output vs. mentoring, ...)

So stack ranking (or any kind of ranking by criteria) tends to nudge people into "let's do what the standard expects us to do" instead of "let's do what makes the team, company and product improve."

Dogs are not people, people who have dogs have a responsibility... it annoys me, as it does with children when it comes to teachers and daycare, that abdication of this responsibility is largely monetary and comes with little consideration. You cannot tell me that an app is the only way out of these things. Try any number of normal human situations like paying a friend or neighbor you trust.

The dogs should be looked after, but you should also not be exploiting people who are worse off than yourself, for your own personal, convenient, cheap abdication of responsibility.

(If you can't pay a friend or neighbor, possibly you are asking too much for too little)
The CockroachDB blog post on this topic is a good summary. There is an additional trick that isn't directly KV related, but is important in a distributed environment when using a KV storage engine.

When defining a hierarchy of tables, such as customers -> orders -> order_line_items, you can make the primary key of the child tables contain the primary key of the parent table.

e.g. (customer_id) for the customers table, (customer_id, order_id) for the orders table, then (customer_id, order_id, line_item_id) for the order_line_items.

When this is stored on disk in a sorted format, it makes joins between these extremely cheap because the data will all be next to each other on disk.

CockroachDB calls this "interleaved tables".

The Pi is an awkward inbetweener - it's too power-hungry to substitute for a microcontroller, but too basic to replace an x86 computer in most applications.

To be fair, the Micro:Bit exists because of the lessons learned from the failure of the Raspberry Pi in education. In a strange sense, it's the 2.0 version of what the Pi was supposed to be; the Pi lives on because of the hobbyist community, but it failed fairly comprehensively at its intended purpose.
Thanks, it put things in perspective.
The problem is that content owners have often proven abundantly insane. They use staggered release schedules while piracy allows their "saved for later" markets to rot when they could do simultaneous releases trivially.

Their release schedules often obey no ryhme or reason like "all by language, all by highest cost per unit first", etc. This is the industry that referred to VCRs, a clear new market for their freely broadcasted releases as the Boston Strangler.
They seem to encounter problem after problem these days. It’s a real shame to see.

I appreciate this in-depth reporting about the city I live in. It definitely doesn't look good having pretty much all of downtown be an opportunity zone, but most other areas of town are even less opportunity zones than downtown.

The west side is millionaire estates and nice suburbs where people that work at Intel live.

North Portland has heavily gentrified into one of the most expensive parts of town in the last few years.

The inner east side of Portland is industrial area, trendy part of town, and historic neighborhoods.

IMO the best area would have been outer SE Portland along 82nd Ave, which is where all the working-class people that can afford to live in Portland are, but that area has always got the short end of the stick from the city so it was never going to happen.

> Churchill displayed in his long career a similarly imperial insouciance toward Ireland, sending countless young Irishmen to their deaths in a catastrophic military fiasco at Gallipoli, Turkey, during World War I and unleashing brutal paramilitaries against Irish nationalists in 1920.

I was unaware of the Irish serving at Gallipoli so I looked it up[0] and apparently 15,000 served with 3,000 fatalities - a similar number to New Zealanders.

Interestingly there never was conscription in Ireland - it was planned later in the war but never implemented due to the crisis it created[1].

All the things that were replaced were abstractions, which had costs. I think that there's a valid point that a lot of C++ programmers use these abstractions liberally, while sweeping the very real costs under the rug. There are also benefits to using them, of course.
In my experience, it's specifically every time you try to disconnect from a server. (I have connections set up for dev and production for a small project, and I try to keep the production connection open only when I need it...but if I open it, I need to keep it open or it crashes the whole app.)

Maybe this is true under "natural conditions" (however you want to define those). But intentional farming practices can produce this much top soil every year. The problem is that few farmers use those practices. But I do, and I can tell you that planting green fertilizers and nitrogen-fixing cover crops, and then plowing them under, will produce pretty good topsoil very quickly.
I would be for such a thing if the money goes directly to people. The government doesn't spend any of it.
With both figures being accurate, I'm not sure choosing the statistic which acknowledges the actual people affected rather than the statistic which turns them into a performance metric is "sensationalism", especially when the 7% figure is also covered in the first sentence of the article.

Light is 400,000 GHz to 800,000 GHz and has always existed on this earth. Man-made pulsed microwaves are 300 MHz to 600 GHz, and have never existed on this planet before.

Both from a physics standpoint, as well as from a biological standpoint, they are not the same thing.

Both are biologically active, but for one of them we have adapted (Vitamin D production and photosynthesis, for example), for the other we have not.

From another perspective; the FCC limit for for microwave radiation is 10^18 times higher than natural background. That's a difference of a quintillion times.

Backround levels (green), compared to current exposure:
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dt2NMoJU4AE2oYY.jpg

Therefore you can't really compare visible light exposure with microwave exposure. One has existed on the planet for billions of years, the other is completely artificial and man-made, and unlike visible light it penetrates tissues through the whole body, and there is no adaptation.

>Umm, the Navy has do what they are told, even if they feel they don't have enough people/equipment.

They are supposed to require a deceleration of war going through Congress, but that has largely been circumvented. They are not just some puppet, the ballooning budget shows their input is considered. If there were some sense that the Navy was resisting the current state of affairs, I'd be more sympathetic.

And the other poster is correct, I was considering the Yemen blockade. Any pretense of legality requires deliberately bending the description of what's taking place, or acknowledging that the US has made itself exempt from prosecution for war crimes.
I'm sure i've seen this as a talk too, it was pretty humble iirc they seemed surprised how practical it turned out to be.
I agree, it does sound like a step in the right direction.

Here’s how I look at the issue you have with trust in companies and regulatory bodies: I cannot imagine a world (inhabited by humans) without bureaucratic inefficiency and corruption inherent to the systems that organize large societies. It's like a law of social thermodynamics. We should continually strive to fight against the chaos and bad behavior, but at some level we have to understand that as long as humans are humans, /those/ efforts (e.g. anti-corruption legislation) will be marred by bureaucracy and corruption (e.g. lobbyists influencing anti-corruption legislation), like a recursive glitch in the matrix. If you can recognize the challenges that introduces, but be at peace with it, you can stay focused on what "steps in the right direction" we can make.

I haven't (yet) read the article, but let me provide an anecdote to answer the question posed by the post title "Is C++ fast?":

I write in C++. I had a coworker who wrote in Ruby. He wanted to learn C++ because C++ is "fast". So he wrote two identical programs: one in C++ and one in Ruby. Then, he ran both programs though `time` to determine how long each took.

His C++ program took longer.

Why was that?

He didn't write his C++ program using any efficient algorithms whatsoever while his Ruby program was well-designed. He came to me to try to tell me that C++ wasn't as fast as Ruby.

So I rewrote his C++ program. My C++ program then ran almost instantly while his Ruby program hadn't even begun reading or writing; the C++ program finished while the Ruby program was still initializing the Ruby runtime libraries.

Is C++ fast? Yes, it can be. But it's only fast if the developer understands how to make it fast.

Don't use C++ because it's "fast". Use C++ because you understand what its intended purpose is: to be close to the hardware.

I think there's probably quite a lot you're missing, which is not a criticism because there's simply so much at play with Brexit. The ruling classes, or more accurately a particular branch of it, are very much driving Brexit as they're disaster capitalists - they know it's going to cause misery to millions of people, but they stand to personally profit hugely from it. Owners of tabloid newspapers have for years been fuelling the anger that has led to the working classes backing the idea. Our newspapers regularly run stories, that are out and out false, about immigration, EU bureaucracy, migration etc. It's straight up propaganda as a long game designed to enrich a few people.
> Under the premise that wealth == power, a democracy cannot accept that wealth is too unevenly distributed.

That's the fundamental issue though - I think we should structure society in such a way that money cannot buy political power. That way, wealth is just economic - you can hire people, or buy things, but you can't pay off voters or buy political ads or lobby in your interests or bribe politicians.
Lived in both China and USA for 10+ years each. Things that make no sense in American eyes make a lot sense in China.

> In 2012, I traveled for about 6 weeks in China.

Six weeks staying in China means nothing. China is already the 2nd largest economy but it still develops at an unprecedented rate. Urbanization in the country only reach 60% and will increase to 90% in 2030. 'Ghost cities' and empty malls will be filled very quickly in the next 3-5 years. There's actually a shortage of malls/supermarkets/schools in most communities in China, and that's the reason why e-commerce prevails and companies like Alibaba are reinventing retail.

> So pretty much everything I read about China's economic development, I don't believe.

You shouldn't, especially if you only read reports from Western sources, which are heavily biased and often telling only what people prefer to hear. People in the States are either ignorant on what's going in China, or so entitled to think there's only one way for how societies work.
I stopped using Wag due to their terrible customer service. I had an incident where a walker, despite explicit instructions, did not put my young puppy (~6 months) back in her crate and left her free in the apartment unsupervised. The walker report card said "I saw you said to crate her but she looked thirsty so I left her out!".

I called several times where they said "we tried to contact the walker but couldn't so we can't help you". So I had to leave work early and still came home to a torn up couch and plenty of chewed up plastic that had to be surgically removed by a vet. Wag compensated for this by trying to offer me a "5 dollar credit for your next walk!"
