>Stealing is wrong, but there are products where, if someone were to steal them in small amounts, I'm kinda okay with it.

If you are OK with someone taking something then by definition it cannot be stolen. The kids on Halloween aren't stealing candy. Another example would be if we were best friends and I borrowed your lawnmower without asking: it would be stealing if you didn't want me to do that but if I knew you were fine with it that would be just fine.

If you want to put something in public bathrooms and if you want it to be fine for people to take it out with them, what you're proposing is not even slightly comparable to "legalized stealing," you're just proposing that we should give away free stuff. (Hey, it works fine with water.)
No, but it's a very clunky explanation of how to do event-orientated programming with LINQ.
And another advantage of this approach is it allows you to lobotomize your "smart TV" so it can no longer track everything you say and do.
Maybe I'm completely out of the loop, but what's the deal with running multiple versions of Node?

What particular problems or projects do you have where this is a pressing necessity?

I just install latest LTS and keep that up to date, and I've yet to find a single thing not working.
This release of 2.0 is not a commercial offering. It's completely free and open source under an MIT license without restrictions of any kind. For example, you could use it as the basis of your own commercial offering or use code from it and that is all fair game.

For the query you mention, you can do that in 1.x using a combination of group by time, fill and subqueries. In 2.0 you can do this in Flux using similar operators. More complex possibilities for interpolating missing data is also in the works.

Solving more complex query processing like what you mention is a specific reason why we started developing Flux. We couldn't figure how to address some of the more advanced query feature requests in the old language so we started with something new.

In addition to giving Flux more functions, flow control and more power, we also will be adding more out of the box functions and syntactic sugar to make some of these more advanced queries possible without being overly verbose and complex. Our order of operations for developing the language:

1. Make it powerful
2. Make it easy
3. Make it fast

So it'll take us time to get to all of our goals, but I think we've laid down a pretty good foundation.
Well, that was quick.

Boiling water is enough. And while I've never been there I guess they drink water and cook like most humans so combining both might be manageable.

Also, you don't need everything to be sterile anyways, and pads and tampons certainly are not. Clean is enough, with sterilization from time to time.
Deliveroo users are getting defrauded
In a country without access to toilets and clean water, why would they have the resources for 1st world level teacher oversight?

This is kind of like asking why water is wet. Many children (likely due to their parents) are insecure savages with under-developed empathy. Humiliating each other is simply what they do. Hence why we force them to undergo decades of education outside the home to learn how to relate to each other in a civilized, healthy way by adulthood.

Not sure why you were downvoted. I think you made an interesting point that i hadn't considered. You said it's your "pet theory" and people don't have to agree with it or provide counter facts. I would rather infer that it was probably to protect others around her from the so called "infection" rather than the woman herself. Either way doesn't preclude the fact that religion and societal structures(and just all around ignorance) have to share the majority of the blame here.
Awesome! Part of me would want us to adhere to some kind of literary guideline, but mostly we want to communicate effectively. When a bunch of ordinary nouns appear in a row with the same capitalization, instinctually the interpretation is to assume all or none are part of a proper noun.

For many, this would not be an issue, as we may recognize Apple, Giant (grocer chain), or even Maple Leaf. I am not familiar with Maple Leaf so I had to do some parsing and a process of elimination to decide which words were more significant.
Yea, I use n as well. Seems to do its job and stay out of my way.

Hey, just one bit of feedback, I tried getting my github linked project to build late last year, but always failed to checkout sub modules.

The build log showed permission issues, and I did try workarounds suggested like changing the sub module URL and adding ssh keys as part of the checkout step, but in the end, my 8 hours allocated to “get vsts building” ended with this problem and I have not continued. The performance of builds was also poor.

TL; DR

“Sometime in the late second or first millennium BC, the chicken was introduced into the Middle East.

...

In arid and semiarid areas of the Middle East, the pig and the chicken compete for food and labor in the human subsistence system. I hypothesize that in arid and semiarid areas of the Middle East, the chicken largely replaced the pig because the chicken is a more efficient source of protein, it produces a secondary product, the egg, and it is a smaller package; hence, a family can consume one in a day or two. This made the pig redundant and available for use in other human systems.”

Those are indeed blockers for a full 2.0 release. There is backup and restore in the 1.7 release, but it's not nearly as powerful as it needs to be. We aim to correct that before any full GA release of 2.0.

Don't forget that some industries can't exist if there aren't enough workers. Density of human capital is sometimes a prerequisite to a sustainable business.

For example, silicon valley would be much smaller and the net value of companies much lower if not for the global inflow of talent. Even if the average wage was reduced (and I doubt it, I think it's only likely for commodity labour, scale enables specialization which pays more) the total wage is much higher. You also need to look at the displacement effect - what happened to jobs with other sets of skills that now have fewer workers.
Actually it kind of is, you just go to an older version of Windows. A surprisingly large amount of software will still work, or at the very least have alternatives that do. XP is really really snappy on modern hardware.

Granted, using XP today is not recommended for other reasons.
Pressure the employers and focus on people overstaying after legal entry. Let the rest of the country get back to work, we are going to pay them anyways so all the shutdown has accomplished is to inconvenience people and spend a lot of money with nothing to show for it.

If your friends knew people were employing illegal immigrants they should have reported it if it bothers them. Not complain about it.

I'd be a bit further than Athlone, very much the hard ending of the commuter belt. The actual area I'm from is at the very edge of Tullamore Hospital's general area of coverage, so most my experience of Tullamore is having to go there in tragic circumstances, not super positive!

If the tradeoff includes no change in income and not having to deal with the daily commute, I think the amount of additional time and money to spend with kids would be a huge positive. Most of the ones I know are doing a daily ~80 minute train journey (complete with panicked rush to get to the station for their particular train each morning)... I dunno how anyone can justify erasing that much time from every day of their lives, or how they can have the time to do anything with/for their kids.
probably had something to do with the comment in the end. i agreed with everything up to that point. it's like blaming the car/alcohol for all the alcohol related car crashes that happen.

just because some sociopathic asshole decides to be oppressive and they happen to follow a certain religion all of a sudden their religion is to blame?
Those don't look like they build spacecraft and fight epidemics. It's more like they clean spacecraft and bring epidemics.
If I “let my kids go”, they go to the TV, iPad, or Kindle.

My kids, like most of their friends, get structured time so they don’t always fall back on what they do during unstructured time — technology stuff. I can take away those options (and we do that during the week), but if I want them to have fun the way they define it, often that means an iPad. And I offer to go climbing, hiking, etc with them, but so far it’s the older one that will embrace that while the younger sees it as a chore that takes her away from Roblox or some other game. That’s the irony of “free range” parenting — the “free” part explicitly excludes an option that didn’t exist when I was a kid because of what looks an awful lot like nostalgia.

It's nice to have this when you need to debug issues which only occur on certain versions. A good example would be the recent change of the c++ addon api, which caused my code to crash on some installations while it worked fine on others.

Yours is a fantastic, spot-on comment. It's easy to get swayed by controversial, non-mainstream opinions, especially when you're not knowledgable about the field. One trick that I'm forcing myself to use is to take evidence of what people do v/s what they say.

String theorists may not be vocal in countering the objections raised, or they may simply consider getting into a debate a waste of time. But the fact that hundreds of smart people are choosing to spend time on something is _some_ evidence that the project is not completely misguided.

Of course, the positive evidence has to be balanced with the evidence of group thinking and sunk cost fallacy.
Where is the sexism in a community of women makers?
In the UK there's such a thing as an "interest-only mortgage" where you don't pay down the principal at all! Which of course means lower monthly payments.

The theory is, if your mortgage interest rate was X% but some other investment like the stock market had much higher returns, a sophisticated investor might want to take the money they would have spent on repaying the principal and instead put it into that better-performing investment, then after 20 years pay off the mortgage principal with said investment.

Post-financial-crisis rules were put in place that mean banks actually have to ensure you're _making_ that higher-performing investment.
It’s an offensive concept. Democracy is about people, not capital.
"To be sure, the Federal Reserve said it couldn't determine whether the student loan debt is causing young college grads to move to cities."

Of course not. Since time began, kids have moving to where higher paying jobs are found.

Hi! could you share the name of the business, please?
InfluxDB 1.x was definitely not designed for that. With Flux in InfluxDB 2.0 you will be able to do things like store reference data in other places and join that with time series data in InfluxDB at query time. You can also sort, group and filter by any measurement, tag, field, or value. However, there are no user defined secondary indexes so the scope of this will be a bit more limited based on how things are stored. I'd have to know more about the specific kinds of queries to figure if it's something that would make sense within InfluxDB 2.
Actually many shapes, sizes, materials and brands exist. If you can use tampons or have sex without pain it's just a product fitting / usage / educational problem imo.

Enforcing that employers pay all employees proper (internationally competing, livable) wages regardless of nationality or immigration status, and fast tracking immigration tickets, would solve this pretty effectively.

The first part solves the fact that companies prefer immigrants due to the fact that they can pay them a lower wage, setting a minimum wage in law that is internationally competing would drive some businesses out of america, but those businesses are harmful anyway because they are exploitative towards their employees, and therefore they aim to exploit Americans.

The second aspect, fast-tracking immigration status so that immigrants can become legal citizens easier, solves the fact that some employers might abuse the status of immigrants to pay them less. It'd be trivial (and actually it is quite common already) for employers to tell their immigrant employees "Accept this shitty pay or I will report you to ICE". This completely removes that method of extortion from being viable.
This is a really odd stance to take; and a horrible argument.

It's not "OK" to steal anything, but you risk toilet paper being stolen by having it in a public place. The loss of a roll (or 2) of toilet papers is very low compared to the convenience of not having to bring your own toilet roll everywhere.

We live in a society and that involves a certain level of (policed) trust, if the cost of having a great convenience is that it sometimes gets stolen then if the cost is low enough and the convenience is high enough it's worth it.
Erm, no. If you don't want to use butter or olive oil, don't use butter or olive oil. This has nothing to do with non-stick vs regular pan.

In fact, butter and olive oil are more difficult to use, and more prone to scorching with non-stick pans because of lower thermal mass, which makes it much harder to regulate temperature.

The temperature of the pan needs to be the same, regardless whether it's non-stick or not, in order to produce good results. If you start with a cold non-stick pan, the food won't stick, but it will be of far less quality than if you had started with the proper temperature.

So I guess that non-stick pans allow you to more easily make bad food without making a mess, but that's not a metric that I care about. If you care about the quality of food, non-stick pans are more difficult to use because temperature control is harder, they can't get as hot, and generally you can't put them in the oven.

Ok you meant delivery directly from the grocery store.. in that case, that's how it used to be in the distant past - you could call in, and they would send their driver with the grocery. The last shop that did that kept the practice up for their elderly customers (and only those) for some additional years, but then eventually had to stop. It's way too expensive to pay a driver to do that.
Wow. What a horrible comment.
Absolutely. We won't address that in the initial release of 2.0, but there will be ways to get it done. The eventual solution will probably revolve around using the tasks system to downsample into buckets of different retention. Then using a function in Flux at query time to look at the metadata of buckets in the query and the time range and selecting the precision based on that. We should be able to show examples of how to do this in Flux later this year.
Micronaut Microservices Framework: Introduction
Sometimes you're limited in production by whatever version the OS supports. In the case of Debian installing nodejs doesn't necessarily land you the latest and greatest. The same happens with Python as well. I wish they had a good way to abstract this in Debian and I'm surprised Ubuntu hasn't fully resolved it, I mean Ubuntu does have Snap but I can't trust Snaps fully if the language vendors aren't backing the only available Snaps. But to account for systems where the only version of Node or Python, or whatever is a specific version, you need systems like this.

My main point was against the "sell their data to advertisers ".

I know a bit or two about big advertisers, and I can absolutely guarantee that they have no clue what to do with said data anyway.

You can give them huge dataset about people and they will have problems opening it, because powerpoint would not recognize the file extension.
