Being responsible if you screw something up is how the world normally works. Just because something can be unsafe if done wrong doesn't mean the thing you are doing is fundamentally unsafe when done properly. Many people don't seem to understand this.
You're both right and wrong: the need to "move" that hour is needed only during a period of the year (latitute-dependent; on average March-October in the northern hemisphere) that mostly cover the Summer (Winter in the southern hemisphere), in order to synchronize our body-clock with the sunrise (which depends on your location).

Obviously a solution that is "one size, fit all" doesn't exists, hence those (poorly informed) discussions...

For documentation meant to be consumed by others, sure. But for an internal module, these are exactly the types of comments that get out of date the quickest, since they are disconnected from the code they don't stay up to date as the code evolves.
As I admitted in my comment, I'm not 100% sure that it's not protected by the GIL. If it's not, I wouldn't expect a hard crash if you mutate from another thread while iterating, but more like e.g. an item doesn't appear in the even though a different one had been removed by the other thread. But as I said in my comment, even if it does happen to be protected by the GIL, I think it's unsafe and fragile to rely on it.

When the dinosaurs lived the world was 10 celcius warmer. ~200 million years later the world was 14 celcius warmer than today. Life thrived worldwide. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eocene

Global warming is good for the earth.

Every 200,000 years there's a huge spike in warming. Which if you look at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eemian#/media/File:Carbon_Diox...

Notice the CO2 circle showing the last 1000 years; but if you circled the entire green line from about ~20,000 years. There's huge spike that couldn't possible be human activity.

It doesn't even appear like we are in control.
Well, Adobe Reader 9 seems to catch all three attacks. Maybe the design is dumb but it can be saved: Don't accept a signature that excludes anything from hashing except the signature and certificates itself. Although I hope that visual elements can't reference into the byte range of the signature/certificates.
I agree - leaving the clocks unchanged means more light in the evenings (or, where I am, more like the late afternoons).
I think at least things are better now than they once were. One of the reasons I am pro-Amazon, H&M and other successful new-ish companies that attract criticism from the left for various perceived crimes is that I remember what things were like in the UK when I was growing up, when almost anything I wanted to buy in the shops was overpriced, so much so that it even led to the expression 'Rip off Britain'. I strongly believe that it was various consumer-exploitative practices from business at the time that was behind this, and my evidence is that they were comprehensively and easily swept aside by companies offering better service and lower prices. That said, spectacles are one of the few remaining examples of egregiously bad rip-off behaviour around. F* Luxottica, I'm wearing my old glasses as long as possible deliberately to deny them profits and as soon as I can find the style I like from an alternative they'll have my money. Who needs a stupid label on their glasses anyway?! As if makes a person any sexier - they still have defective eyesight!
> Whole screen, touch digitiser, front camera

Usually cheap after market replacement parts in phones really act according to their price. I haven't seen a quality replacement part for these prices. Nothing close to the original anyway. As anecdata, every case I know where an iPhone screen was replaced with a cheap AM part it ended up being replaced again later with an official one. I'm not talking about Apple induced issues but problems with colors, banding, viewing angles, glare, touch response, thickness, etc. These are random articles I found while looking for pictures that highlight these issues [0] [1]. I'm sure this can very well extend to batteries or cameras.

This may be acceptable for a phone (even in the $1000 range) but in a car it poses a genuine safety risk. Also it undermines the premise of the original expenditure with the car. If you invest $50.000 in a car you may have an incentive to not use a low quality battery pack for example.

def __add__(self, other):
if isinstance(other, dict):
new = type(self)() # May be a subclass of dict.
new.update(self)
new.update(other)
return new

Is there something I’m missing? To me it would be cleaner and more memory/time performant to just `self.update(other)` rather than having a third list instance at operation time. But that would really only apply if you have truly massive dicts.

It's really hard to explain to people just how effing brutal it can be for the first several years. Sleep is so random and uneven, it can really break a parent. I have a theory that people have evolved to forget just how bad the first years are, and that's the only reason people have more than one kid, because if we did really remember it all, we'd have all have serious Post Baby Trauma Disorder and no one would ever have more than one kid. You're right, it's just effing brutal.
Sounds amazing and what a cool name, too.
Well, the author has one opinion, I have another: acquiring deep assets (income property, stock market, investment in businesses, farms, etc.) should be a natural thing that people do. You never know what might happen in life and building deep assets is a hedge. A wonderful result of conservatively building assets is that assuming things go well and you don’t need them, assets can be passed on to younger generations.

What the author of the article is promoting is not financial independence, it is simply finding a pleasant job and then enjoy life. Good advice but no reason to not also build up assets.

I don't think the implication is that the Earth won't recover from our climate change issues (it will, we won't). So saying there was lots of life in the Cretaceous period doesn't really make sense, since I could also say there was plenty of life when organisms only existed in the sea. That doesn't exactly help our survival as a species, does it?

It's also not about whether temperatures at this exact moment are higher or lower, but the trends and the rate at which those temperatures are changing. If we're looking at the graph (I'm using [1] linked below for reference), and in 1000BC it was warmer by 2-4°F, but the slope of the graph is way less pronounced than it is now, that's not exactly reassuring.

[1] - http://www.longrangeweather.com/global_temperatures.htm
NOTE: I'm just using this graph to visualize the trends, and since it doesn't provide exact numbers on the axes I'm just looking at the overall shape of the graph.
Fair enough, but the majority of students, examinators and teachers aren’t asking for it.

I’m an examinator myself, and we have zero members on STEM educations who think their return are a good idea. We discussied it at our summit earlier this year.

I’d like to hear why you want it back. We originally removed it because it gave Danish students a major disadvantage when applying for anything internationally because people who would be straight A students, ranked a whole grade lover than their international counterparts, despite actually fulfilling the exact same course requirements.

I’ve had students where I would have liked to given them more than the top mark, because they were better than what was required. But I’d much rather give those people a top grade than give people who “only” meet the full requirements of a course a non-top grade. Because the difference might mean that a student who actually deserves an international top mark, loses out on a job or a PhD outside of Denmark. Where as the excellent student walks away with a top mark in both situations.
what about payment services like patreon, paypal etc? (my personal theory is that google etc love the stronghold they keep in online media and do not want ISPs to mess with it, hence why they are so supportive of NN regulation)
It depends what you are trying to prove. To prove that catchup sleep doesn't work, you need to find at which weekend it stops working. If it's the first week end, you don't need to iterate, as the person's condition will only get worse.
Edit: I think I misunderstood your comment. I thought you meant Greece and Cyprus prefer to keep summer time for ever. Whereas you probably meant that Greece and Cyprus wanted to keep changing the clocks.

Anyway I leave my initial comment below.

I think you read that wrong. You should look at section 3.5.

"The highest share of respondents in favour of “permanent summertime” is in Portugal (79%), Cyprus (73%) and Poland (72%)."

It does not have to be the case. In some European countries it is ridiculously cheap, as cheap as any other basic/necessary medications, medications that are super expensive to the Americans.
This led to the Magnitsky Act [1], where the U.S. slapped heavy sanctions on a number of Russian individuals believed to have been implicated in his death. This hurt Russia so much that they retaliated in a number of ways, one of which is the topic of investigations of a prosecutor whose name is Mueller...

I wonder if using 16 bytes as an alignment would help in those corner cases. Some objects would use up to 33% more space (24 bytes -> 32 bytes), but I think that for most objects the increase will not be very noticeable and one extra bit would allow to use up to 64 GB of RAM with compressed pointers.
I'm afraid to tell you that the data already exists for quite large areas, but it's held by the very people (mining etc) that you don't want open access (as it's their IP).

This is a plan to open data to all and I think that's very commendable.

>> People like to put EV adoption solely on range anxiety...

This is a term that irritates me every time I see it. EVs have a range problem. You can't drive them long distances without running into charging issues and doing careful planning around it. Telsa has longer range and their network of charging stations, but it still requires planning to deal with. This is an issue with the cars, and to call it "range anxiety" feels like making it some kind of perceptual issue with the driver. Like hey dude, get over it. In my mind this is a subtle way to blame shift from the technology to the would-be customers. Tesla being the one company taking it the most seriously and providing good range and a network of fairly quick chargers. But still, cars don't have anxiety - people do and the problem here is the cars don't meet peoples expectations.
> If you're talking about stack allocation, memory usage will be the same

The JVM never literally 'stack allocates'. It scalar replaces objects, so object header words, klass pointers, unused fields disappear, and remaining fields become just dataflow edges so may be folded, or may end up in registers or on the stack. Additionally, objects which are 'stack allocated' do not need to be aligned as on the heap, and do not use GC head-room. All of this does mean a real reduction in memory consumption, but it's likely extremely small in practice.

My Review of “Zether: Towards Privacy in a Smart Contract World”
From looking at the table at the end of the article, it would seem it is difficult to get PDF signature verification completely correct, but it is possible.

That said, having worked on PDF signature generation in the past, the spec is very complicated, partially due to the structure of PDF documents and how they can be appended, including signed additions.

I'm the first one to say this type of comment is tired usually, but that's because people say it about Google cloud where it's patently untrue.

This however seems to be a product with no SLA and no guarantees, outside of the cloud offerings etc. I kinda agree with OP, Google's track record is bad when it comes to this kind of products.

And yes I think they are worse than other companies. Google isn't a hardware company, so they're worse than apple in that regard. And Amazon would do it through AWS, which would also make this fall inside their core competency.
Just to be clear, the point isn't that we can distinguish which monkeys are treated, it's that the monkeys can distinguish many colours which they could not before. The treated ones behave like trichromats.

Do they lose any sleep philosophising about how these new colours are possible, and what to call them? Who knows. But I believe they can still do all the usual monkey things.

You know how its all over the news everytime a Tesla has a crash?

EVs are an unknown quantity for most people, if someone repaired their Tesla badly and something happened, all that would be reported is 'Tesla catches fire', but you wouldn't see 'petrol powered Ford catches fire'.

So I think its understandable that Tesla would want to be protective. That's not to say that I think they should be allowed to do it though. One would hope that there's an independent testing regime to check that the car is actually roadworthy.

I doubt it's the future, at least not for the long-term. Co-buying really only works well for younger professionals - not enough cash to buy solo, but still enough cash to get out and move on (hopefully).

A better solution would be cutting the larger homes into condos (owner-occupied flats). Or, if the house isn't conducive to that, tear-down and rebuild as condos.

It's atomic in CPython and protected with GIL. It will be safe in user-defined dict classes if you will make it safe and care of this. And everything above is a matter of implementation. What you write is pure and correct in common sense, but it's not practical. If you have thread safe data structure that care about its state consistency itself, why not to use it without locks and make things simplier? I don't talk about syncing state of several data structures etc. I'm talking about very simple use cases when it becomes very handy.

If CoD really was as boring as you described then nobody would play it. Also about your comment saying something is pointless... Everything is pointless.

All of these are pointless and that's why I'm not doing them.

> Remember when Comcast was finally caught injecting poison packets to sabotage Bittorrent connections?

Probably easier to pull that style of thing in under existing fraud legislation than tie it to anything net-specific.
Even if there is no objective test, it is reasonably easy to make that sort of lie illegal. Free markets rely on companies being honest about what they sell, and I expect there would be pretty broad support for a law that says companies can't lie about what their products are (if there isn't such a law already).

If Comcast wasn't making it clear that they were sabotaging BitTorrent, that should be illigal by virtue of them willfully accepting money while not providing the service.

Captain Gastronaut – An open source game written in TypeScript
I agree mostly with your former statement, though keep in mind these people would be friends, not strangers. Even with friends it's all fun and games in the planning stages until you're locked into a mortgage with someone who clips their nails all over the house, leaves dirty dishes everywhere, and lets their kids spit on the floor. I love my friends, but seeing them 24/7 would drive me nuts.

> I struggle to name one person in this world who would qualify as a friend

I find that hard to believe, even if you have to lower your friendship bar to "guy who says 'hi' and asks how you're doing at the hardware store". Barring that, I'll be your friend old bean.
> I haven't heard of mechanic setting regular cars on fire when repairing them though.

You clearly haven't been around many repair shops or performed your own auto maintenance. It's not that hard and does happen from time to time.

Another thing to think about is how many times have I heard of stories where a mechanic or oil change tech forgets to tighten something, oil or fuel leaks, drips onto the hot exhaust manifold and starts an engine fire... while driving.

This does seem very financially risky to me. Yes, they did draw up a deed of trust and they mention that is okay if one of them wants to back out later. But that doesn't solve the monthly mortgage cost. Is that person who is "out" still obligated to pay that cost according to their arrangement? Because I can imagine finding another person to sign up to this arrangement could be difficult.

I'm leaning more towards stacked micro-houses, aka micro condos, as the "future of housing" in urban centers.
Which must lead us to conclude non-locality unless we can come up with a better explanation.

I've seen a few alternatives like electrical universe theory which tries to take the spookiness out of QM but so far no other theory reconsile both clasically and QM and the two are proven to the extent that anything can be proven. Classical physics is not proven more than QM. You could easily reverse your argument starting with QM and saying classical physics doesn't prove locality.
Kepler Space Telescope's First Exoplanet Candidate Confirmed, 10yrs After Launch
thank you for pointing that out to me. I did not look through slides.
Correct. That's why I explicitly said shared environment (the "nurture") and not all environment (which includes non shared environment).

When comparing nature vs nurture it's going to be always nature. When comparing total trait variance, the genetically explained variance is on average 50% (averaged across all traits).

A fraction of the remaining 50% is non shared environment (randomness) and a minute/neglible amount is shared environment (nurture).
