For anyone else who's confused how this presents an alternative to the builder pattern in the post: Rust's std::default::Default trait can be implemented for any struct (also automatically derived if you just want the members' standard default values), and then an instance of the struct can be created with the following syntax: [1]

let instance = YourStruct { foo: 42, ..Default::default() };

where 'foo', and possibly more fields, are the ones you want to override from the default. The rest gets taken from the Default trait specialisation.

Tangential: in Haskell, record types allow a similar sort of trick. If you have a data type like the following:

data D = MakeD { a :: Int, b :: Float }

and have a instance of that data type with your default values:

defaultD = MakeD { a = 42, b = 3.14 }

then you can create another instance of D by selectively overriding stuff from the already existing instance using similar syntax:

someInstance = defaultD { a = 100 }

which is equal to MakeD { a = 100, b = 3.14 }.

With PredictIt there's a max bet size, so the manipulation would have to be spread over many accounts. Seems like a very high risk/reward ratio considering how many people would have to be involved, and considering most people don't know or care much about PredictIt.
This is really nothing new. "Ethical problems will never be resolved by a software tool" [1]

The author uses a straw man argument that plagiarism detection software promises to "replace the professor" when in fact, it is just a tool.

Besides, there are highly sophisticated ways of cheating that even a professor would not catch reliably. I wrote my undergrad thesis about plagiarism and it was interesting to learn that there are students who are highly motivated to "beat the system" instead of doing the task properly.

It's one of the idiotic side effects of unchecked capitalistic culture in the USA mixed with a tinge of anti-intellecutalism and tons of garden variety ignorance and racism.

It's codeword for "I don't want my taxes to help folks that don't look like me".
In what way does that meaningfully differ from the way a democracy is supposed to be run? Shareholders are treated as "voters" in a democratic organization, where 1 share = 1 vote.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone accuse Google of being realistic. They certainly don't have a problem breaking NDK compatibility at whim, hence some the conversation above and in other threads. It doesn't feel from the outside that Google cares that much about how attractive Android is as a platform to games (or much else, for that matter), where it gets in the way of whatever the aspirations du jour are. (Is this one of the months of the arcane cycle as foretold by the elders that Chrome OS is still dominant over the other signs or is it that the Fuchsia kernel that waxes in the west again?)
They do speak of characters, which then starts to just sound like https://plus.codes
It would be amateurish if it were cryptography for sure. But I would never expect that sort of attack vector as a quant. Most quants are worried about alpha loss, not having your order flow fingerprinted.
Those might make the high prices of drinks at some events less annoying since you get a souvenir.
Couple of things here to keep in mind. First, when the A320 came out I wrote extensively about its fly by wire system, which was highly controversial at the time (early 1990s). It’s been nearly thirty years since then and long story short, Airbus has vastly more experience with implementing cockpit automation than Boeing. Boeing simply got in far over their expertise with deadly results

Second, Airbus’ 320 airframe does not impose the same issues with larger engines that the 737 does. For starters, the 330 airframe started life in the era of large high-bypass turbofans — its initisl engines were much larger than the 737’s initisl engines
HDPs can also have unintended side effects like patients delaying getting screenings until conditions are much worse (and more expensive to treat).
Oh that's my fault. I must have been reading the comments when I grabbed the URL to share. The comments are interesting nonetheless though.

This has come up with the current president's most-dimwitted son and it's so hysterical it bears repeating. US taxpayers and voters are not the customer. They're the board.

Capitalism is our religion. It’s so much a part of our culture (identity), people aren’t aware of it.
>It is obviously better for the environment.

Except it isn't and plastic is for many uses the best material.
Take glass for example.

Cons of Glass:

It breaks

It costs more to ship

It is more expensive to recycle

Glass takes twice as much energy to produce

More pollution is created in the manufacturing, shipping and recycling of glass

Glass creates more than 6 times the global warming gases than plastic

-------------------

Cons of plastic:
Litter (but people throw glass away too)

Some plastics can leach chemicals

Some plastics contain PVCs
Population density and delivery demand. But you probably need deliveries/hour/employee higher than is sustainable to make pricing palatable with "free shipping syndrome" and all.
Later posts make it clear the law is actually about country, not citizenship. Non-citizen residents of Australia have the same risk factor as citizens.
Until the 20th century, producing color fast fabrics was either impossible or expensive. Brightly-colored clothing was difficult to maintain, and if you had a lot of it, you basically needed to be rich enough to afford a staff to take care of it.

As the middle class expanded, people wanted practical dress clothes, and that generally meant black or white for fastness and launderability.

Puritans/dissenting protestants played a large role in manufacturing and finance in the US and Britain, and they preferred dark colors to reflect their seriousness and sobriety. As these countries came to dominate world trade, their dress preferences spread.

In the 19th century morning coats and frock coats predominated in the middle/upper class. After WWI these came to be despised emblems of the older generation that started the war. The future Edward VIII of the UK, when he was Prince of Wales, popularized men's sporting wear -- his tastes were influential because they represented youth, modernity and vitality in contrast to the pre-WWI generation. He introduced the style of sport coat, tie and collar that still predominate today. His style, plus the darker colors already preferred by professionals, remain more or less the global uniform for men because of the influence of British/American professionals.

"Producing fast black in the Middle Ages was a complicated process involving multiple dyeings with woad or indigo followed by mordanting, but at the dawn of Early Modern period, a new and superior method of dyeing black dye reached Europe via Spanish conquests in the New World. The new method used logwood (Haematoxylum campechianum), a dyewood native to Mexico and Central America. Although logwood was poorly received at first, producing a blue inferior to that of woad and indigo, it was discovered to produce a fast black in combination with a ferrous sulfate (copperas) mordant. Despite changing fashions in color, logwood was the most widely used dye by the 19th century, providing the sober blacks of formal and mourning clothes."[0]

The website felt slow and bloated performance-wise, despite the design being simple. YouTube feels like that now too.
What would you buy instead of Cisco?

HP and Dell are the same thing. From experience a decade ago, the HP usually did not have the enterprise features they advertised.

The other minor brands are very hard to procure if you're not in the US or a primary English speaking country.
The wasm runtime wars are heating up! Exciting times :)

Really pumped to see this open sourced. And the performance properties look awesome.

One interesting thing we’re seeing in this space is sort of two parallel paths emerge: do you want to support JavaScript, or not? An example of the former is CloudFlare and their Workers platform. Hopefully they’ll follow Fastly’s lead and open source their runtime too, but it’s built on top of V8 because they want to support JavaScript. You also gain the additional advantage of all the engineering that Google puts into V8.

The other option is stuff like Lucent, wasmer, and wasmtime. By dropping the JavaScript requirement, you can build something that really screams, as seen here. You can partially regain some support via AssemblyScript, the TypeScript subset that compiles to JS. But we haven’t seen JavaScript compile directly to wasm yet because if you want that, well, V8 exists. And you do have to build it all yourself.

JavaScript is one of most popular programming programming languages that exists. Time will tell which approach is better, but it’s really fun to watch all of this cool technology explode onto the scene right now.

(Disclaimer: I have connections to all of these projects in various ways. Everyone involved in all of them is doing great work.)
Wasn't that a Trump campaign theme?

But anyway, it's not new. That was a lot of that maybe a century ago in the US.

$2k for major surgery, nice! Last time I went to ER it was $2k for the doctor's assistant to ask a few questions and put a band aid on.
I'm guessing there were no such things. I asked about rules, my friend was just kind of confused why there would be rules like that. Apparently it was fairly common to sell food grown and cooked in your home to people, At least the town my friend lived in. There was another group of their friends they competed with that ran a similar business, apparently my friend's chicken was better though, at least she said so. Their food always looked delicious. She'd send pictures. It looked better than most takeout or delivery available to me.

As an owner, I don't know why the finances of my employee should be any of my business. Even in assessing credit worthiness, there are plenty of flaws with the current system.
It does not attract more applicants because they won't know about it unless you advertise a specific amount, which then creates other problems. You'd get a flood of useless people if the number is high. Some other people, underestimating themselves, would not apply. You remove the flexibility to hire both junior and senior people because one single pay number can't fit both. Even if you provide a range, you have the problem of pessimists and optimists assuming very different things about where in the range they might fall.
The hospital or larger healthcare organization derives real monetary value from the prescribing of these tests, I don't think it all boils down to "cover your ass". In a lot of cases it's to charge more per patient.
I still think that the "cheese grater" was the pinnacle of apple desktop design (and I've never owned a mac), I just love it - enough that I damn near bought a broken one to use to build my new PC in the end laziness won and I went corsair but it's still an amazing piece of industrial design.
Assembly lines are great for building from scratch. However, no two humans are alike. It's similar to the difference between greenfield and maintenance software development.
I should divulge that I'm working on an art/science project to raise awareness about noise and plastic pollution, but here is a small collection of links[0] to papers and articles.

I'm not a biologist (or scientist of any sort), so my knowledge and terminology is severely limited, but as I understand it, sound creates pressure waves, which if strong enough, can literally kill plankton, such as used with "air guns" for oil exploration. Here's one study[1] with a snippet from the abstract:

> Here we present evidence that suggests seismic surveys cause significant mortality to zooplankton populations.

There are none. That's because no one cares. It's about youth, beauty, fresh talent, and using/abusing younger workers because they have no families/children. They won't balk at working 60-80HR work weeks, while older people simply cannot do this. I won't do it. I DESERVE a life/work balance, and I also demand to be an hourly employee to prevent just such an occurrence. Most employers will pay you hourly if you ask nicely. What they don't want to do is pay you overtime. Texas is a RTW state, so employee rights here are already thin and vague. If I work, you are paying me for my exact time. I do not work for free. I want money and other tangible benefits for my time and talent. I have children at home still. I cannot hit the rewind button to spend time with them. My family is far more important to me than helping someone up in the C-Suite get another useless BMW and cruise.

Also interesting to mention the crossover between Yang supporters and the crypto community: https://breakermag.com/five-reasons-crypto-fans-are-joining-...
I've often re-implemented long established solutions, just to become intimate with the inner workings. Sort of like taking things apart and trying to put them back together as a child. While I may never use that exact knowledge, I may be able to apply the principles elsewhere. I imagine that is the perceived benefit to a student (of which I was never a very good one).
It wants to keep pitching up because the engine cowlings are now far ahead of both the center of gravity and the center of lift. And the cowlings generate significant lift themselves. Aerodynamically they act as levers that pull the nose up and the higher the angle of attack, the more they pull. That is dynamic instability and as I point out you want to have ejection seats in any dynamically unstable aircraft (ir fighter jets)
This is a great open-source project to try contributing to. The maintainers are very responsive and open new features as well as bugfixes.

I had a tiny improvement in this release: https://github.com/Stellarium/stellarium/pull/612
IMHO Yang has much better odds that Buttigieg. Mayor Pete is just blowing up right now because he had a CNN town hall, but he doesn't seem to have a lot of depth of policy and that's going to hurt him a lot as we get into the debates and then going forward. Whereas Yang hasn't yet had much mainstream media exposure, but has a lot of depth to his policies.
Not exactly. Snap is a container (like Doker for desktop apps). AppImage is almost like it, but it contains an executable header in addition to the FS image. DMG are pretty much just a glorified ISO image.
A government run like a business loses the most important and necessary quality of a government: it can takr actions that are economically harmful to itself but helpful to society. It should maintain all roads, not just the ones used to transport goods. It should investigate even small crimes. It steps in when the market would cause a catastrophe (e.g., tragedy of the commons). Of course, money still exists, so the government restricts its reach within a budget.

Besides, the president's only tasks should be international diplomacy, commander of the military, and doing what the Congress says. They can be "ideas gals/guys," but he/she shouldn't be independently making huge decisions outside of war scenarios. That doesn't sound like a CEO to me.
I know that's part of it, but there's got to be something more going on with leprosy patients. Random bruises and scratches do not normally fester until things start falling off, even if you ignore them.
I'm going to keep saying it. The issue is trash disposal especially in third world countries. You can't just pile trash on landfills.

I'm countries like Switzerland were most trash is incinerated to generate electricity, getting rid of plastic bags has little impact if not increase overall CO2 use since a alternate bag uses way more CO2 to be produced.

One stat stated that a woven bag would need to be used 7000 times to offset the CO2 vs the amount of CO2 used to make a plastic bag.
When Twitter first appeared my guess was they'd create a kind of messaging backbone for the Internet and start to add features like machine-to-machine, group communication etc.

Guess my disappointment.
Exactly. Except it’s not flow separation that is the problem. It’s the lift that the nacelles generate combined with their mass and moment far ahead of the center of gravity
If you reduce the definition to "something that gets better", then yes. But for a learning machine to really qualify, it has to be getting better by proving that the next state is better than the current state before adopting it.

Would you be interested in talking to me about a new miniature particle collider device I've come up with? I haven't yet built a prototype, but I need to ensure that I gather the correct data to determine if it functions the way I believe it will.
TBF The maidenhead system (which is a worldwide standard) IS, IMO fairly easy to remember.

And because it's pairs are increasing in area, I can state that I live in IO93 and it narrows it to:

https://www.karhukoti.com/maidenhead-grid-square-locator/?gr...

or I could give the next 2 characters to narrow it to a 1km x 1km (roughly) area that covers my town, or the 2 letters and 2 numbers that give a small area that pinpoints 2-3 houses on my street.

It's not really any more complex or hard to remember than a standard postal code or zip code.
There are much less drastic things that could be tried, but I don't see much political will for real change. We get a lot of talk, but few concrete plans.

House MD had an episode about this condition in 2007: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0917153/

You would think a friend might mention it - I would think a close friend must notice a complete lack of pain response.
On a side note: Twitter is strange to me, as someone who visits it once every two or three weeks. After a while, I'm usually surprised by some tweets, because I started following someone because of their profession or hobby that lines up with mine, but then they post data about other activities. Why am I following someone who talks about food? Oh, right, for another completely unrelated reason. And I do not even follow so many people.

shrug It's additional software in the networking stack, and it has a performance penalty. I think it's fair to call it a "virtualization cost," since you're paying for the container's networking abstraction.
I did think about posting my location for all the world to see, knowing that it wouldn't tell anyone anything at all.

Yeah I was getting way too defensive in this thread. You're probably right and it's terrible the fascist threat makes me react totally unjust to fellow commenters meaning well.
My friend and I played at the same time. Unplanned, they invested in heavily Marketing, and I in Research. They beat it much more quickly, and I had to "cheat" or give up. I exploited Quantum Computing by writing a function in the console that clicked rapidly when the QC was primed, at which point it became quite easy to finish.

"Buttigieg is a graduate of Harvard University, a Rhodes Scholar, and a veteran of the War in Afghanistan" Wow what a fresh face. (dry sarcasm)
That is such a joke. What does "booming economy" really mean? Mostly the stock market, I think. And "low unemployment"? It's low because people who have given up looking aren't counted. And because it includes lots of short-term and poorly compensated jobs.
Right so both of those article said exactly what I said: there's a process of radicalzation and people like Rubin (and Peterson) feed into that process.

Once more: please give an example of someone calling Jordan Peterson a white supremacist, or admit alternatively admit that no one has done so and you were fearmongering.

Not saying jbp associates with white supremacists, or serves as a useful idiot for white supremacists. That's all well known. You claimed that people called Jordan Peterson a white supremacist. You still haven't justified that claim, and that's because, quite simply, it's false.

You're fearmongering. No one has called Jordan Peterson a white supremacist. That's just a factually incorrect statement. They've said he unintentionally helps white supremacists, he occasionally associates with them, take selfies with them sure, but for all your trying, you still haven't been able to find someone actually call jbp a white supremacist.

So perhaps, just maybe, your worry is misplaced.

The thing is that empirical inquiry already suggests that mental illness is a much less important factor than personal associations. Considering that psychiatry has a severe etiological problem already, I don't think it's such a productive line of inquiry.

I mean, a pacifist could argue that choosing to join the military or obey orders that might result int eh deaths of civilians is pathological, or that states themselves suffer a sort of institutional pathology. But if one accepts a casus belli as a valid premise for military action, such questions are immediately collapsible into a cost-benefit analysis - which is, to some extent, how military forces actually operate.

Yes, but the way they absorb those nutrients is by having dissolved ions pass through their cell membranes, just like land plants do it. That's not the kind of "eating" I'd associate with the consumption of plastic particles. Excess nitrogen and phosphorus from waste water are a problem, but mostly by causing too much growth at the expense of other organisms.

That market is now ambiguous because the reporting source is "compromised" in the sense that Andrew Yang's 2020 Twitter account is being redirected to a different handle.
