Bad, but also ‘just’ an extension of ‘tweaking’ maps by changing country names and borders, something every map maker that wants to have global presence has to do.

There is a nuance. They cast their vote any way they see fit, then change it to appeal to the public, knowing that changing vote won't change the outcome, yet PR would be good.
No, it doesn't necessarily "take entire families in its hold", but its effects on how you coexist with the world are nontrivial.

> submitted back to the manufacturer and properly recycled at no cost to the user.

Who defines "useful lifetime" though? The manufacturer would then be even more compelled to make engineer planned obsolescence since no one wants to be on the hook for having to take back products 10, 20, or even 40 years from now. But keeping electronics operational for multiple decades is one of the goals of right-to-repair. With your proposal we'd have nothing but short lifetime disposable electronics. We should be focusing on solutions that create less waste, not more.
Sounds horrible actually, just imagine living with all those little risks of hurting yourself everyday. I remember I was amazed when ophthalmologist warned me not to touch my eyes 30 mins after the eye examination because anesthetics numb the sensation enough that you can accidentally cause the cornea abrasion without noticing it. This is like it, but applied to your whole body for whole life.

Guide to Writing a Powerful Economics Term Paper
Does the British government banning or allowing the IRA flag legitimise or delegitimise their presence in Northern Ireland? What about Spain and the Basque flag?

I would contend that the fact you feel you need to ban it, legitimises it.

Plus Taiwan's government is democratically elected, so if you go down the path of illegitimate governments, Chinas ruling party isn't looking so great there either.

I agree though, that probably is what they're trying to do. It just comes across as petty and pointless.
Comparing React vs Rails is like comparing an iOS app to Rails. I don't really see the point since they are fundamentally different, and whether your application should run on the client or not is a bedrock decision long before you get to "React vs Rails". Rails isn't even an option in one of the branches of that decision.

I assume you meant to instead draw a distinction between a large framework like Rails and a tiny one like Sinatra. And I'd say that ranges from a matter of taste to the composition of your team more than anything else. Obviously there are upsides and downsides to any point you can mark on the continuum.
This is really quite silly. You have no idea how much of recent AI innovations and breakthroughs are coming from China. Many of the top AI conferences these days have quarter to half of the accepted papers originating from China. I am not even counting tremendous amount of contribution in all of above from the first generation Chinese living outside China.
I agree I don't understand how a company seemingly built on backwards business fundamentals can be valued so highly, but I disagree it will be only a couple of weeks before the market adjusts the price accordingly. I think it will take much longer than that, probably closer to a couple of years of a slow downward trend with lots of volatile spikes.

Eggs are formed by secretions of the oviduct as the ovum or yolk is passed through the oviduct. Hens are also known to occasionally lays eggs with two yolks or no yolk at all, with the latter often containing a blood clot or random tissue where the yolk is expected to be.

So it was clear that a foreign object planted at the right place and right time could induce the animal to form an egg around it. I'm just not sure if this is reliable enough to create a business around the idea.

Another funny part is that there are actually a portion of coders who not only agree on but also advocate such 996 culture. One of my roommate is an example who believes it's beneficial to the young workers (for seemingly high salary of course). He's heading to Huawei after graduation.

It’s pretty good for my daughter. She was born with Spina Bifida and we’re paying $300 a month for an ACA plan. She’s cost probably a million dollars by this point so it’s worked out pretty well for us. In a country with socialized medicine they’d probably have just let her die, as the doctors had given her a prognosis that she might not last a year. My wife dug up some research on some treatments they hadn’t considered, and now our daughter’s condition is greatly improved, and her prognosis adjusted to slightly below average lifespan (Spina Bifida adults have kidney problems because they often have to catheter themselves and suffer long term backing up into the kidneys, which eventually causes kidney failure).

It’s a weird case too because if she gets the care she needs she stands to live a long life, be of normal intelligence, she has a good chance of walking, etc. She’s so darned cute and gregarious, cooing and laughing, you’d never know she had all these problems if you saw her out and about.

So I guess my daughter is the reason insurance is so expensive. But after getting page after page of “100% covered $3000” pages for each day she’s spent in the hospital, I’m really glad to have the insurance I do, because a place where the government decides how much to spend on care would have given up on her months ago.

Well I don't want to poop on the parade, but isn't it a little bit thoughtworthy how rewards are distributed in our modern economic system?

A company that hasn't made money is making its founders generational wealth, as well as the investors. (Actually is this wrong? Googling seems to suggest they lost money in recent years. Point is the same though.)

Lyft might never make money, and yet people involved are making out like bandits. I get that some things will lose money before they make money, and it's not up to me to decide whether a particular thing should be invested in by other people.

But it seems if this trend continues, making money becomes more about getting investors to think they're gonna make money than about making a profitable business?
"They are wanting you to learn through the act of writing the paper."

And you did, only earlier.

Funny. Do you also think that writing exactly the same paper many times is making you learn something each time?
The left hemisphere encodes tool use. Its preference for this is so strong that even left-handed folks encode tool-use in the left hemisphere, which means that the round trip from hand to brain goes left hand -> right hemisphere (b/c each hemisphere controls the opposite side of the body) -> left hemisphere (tool circuits) -> right hemisphere -> left hand, which is waaay less efficient than right hand -> left hem -> right hand. (https://www.ted.com/talks/iain_mcgilchrist_the_divided_brain)

So, the left hand's failure to pantomime screwdriver use probably reflects the commissurotomy patient's right hemisphere's inability to access her left hemisphere's knowledge of tools. (That this only happens when eyes are closed probably means the right hemisphere just observed and copied the right hand's behavior when eyes were open.)

Had a fun chat with someone interested in this at a bar a few weeks ago who offered a theory that the best pro basketball players are right hand/right eye dominant or left hand/left eye dominant, and that anybody with mixed dominance just can't cut it. Apparently the military just wont take you as a pilot or sniper if you have mixed hand/eye dominance?

Calling it now: laterality is central to who we are, and is currently underappreciated—especially in AI research (though I'd be delighted to hear from AI folks who disagree!).

EDIT: lots
Sure, the framework's way might not always be the best way of doing things but I prefer to just accept it and move on. It saves spending time debating, deciding, experimenting with different ways of structuring code, when it probably doesn't really make that big of a difference in the end anyway. Most web applications are really not that different from each other.

On top of that it prevents really bad coders from rolling their own in a really bad way. Remember when everybody was coding their own MVC framework in PHP?

As for C# not parsing JSON correctly, that seems more like a problem with a language or library not anything to do with frameworks?
Static typing is nice, but the tradeoff of all the wonderful ruby library support far outweighs the node ecosystem. I found myself fighting with so many poorly-executed, half-abandoned, relatively popular (mongoose). Stuff in ruby land Just Works™. Do I want to be writing type defs for some dying library, or building features? Unfortunately, this is consistently the node ecosystem trade off.

You didn't mention any requirements you might have when it comes to pricing. I am guessing you're looking for something free.

I've used Scrutinizer CI [1] in the past. It's not that well known of a player but I really liked them because they just built something solid that works. They have a free plan for open-source projects.

Terraform uses a graph to keep track of infrastructure dependencies. You can export the graph and take a look (terraform graph).

I once built a terraform provider for a custom neo4j cmdb to be able to add metadata in the form of additional relationships to anything provisioned with TF.

This data was used for config inventory, job scheduling and a bunch of other automations/rules.

Broke the ”cloud vendor” boundry this way and we used it seamlessly against on-prem vsphere and aws.

Never got around to open source it, unfortunately.

A graph for this type of cmdb/config data is really useful.
probably not.

After spending an extensive amount of time in Mainland China and Taiwan, it is fascinating to see how one country initially evolved in two separate countries based on different ideologies.

I would go as far as to say that if you want to see what communism and capitalism do to a country, those two are a perfect example.
In a paradise world, every woodworker could have a deep knowledge of forestry, plant biology, the chemistry of dyes and glues, structural and mechanical engineering, metallurgy and tool repair, and so on ad infinitum. But actually we learn the tried and true ways of doing things, acquire skills and workshop knowhow from mentors, maybe occasionally pick up some scientific knowledge from a magazine. In this way I don't think knowledge of computer science is a necessary basis for practical software work.

If the core ROS people are interested in integrating it I'd be happy to discuss, but if that doesn't happen I don't think they expose an API to control the behavior of the rostopic command.

You did give me an idea though which is to have rosshow "fall back" to rostopic echo for types it doesn't understand, so that you never have to "try twice".

For ROS 2 support -- I abstracted out all the Viewer logic from the ROS logic so in principle it should only take modifying 1 file of code and maybe some package configuration changes to support ROS 2. I'll work on this after I familiarize myself with ROS 2, or would love community help here.
If I could choose I would never leave my apartment.
The explanation I’ve read (sorry, don’t recall the source) is that this system repurposed a purely advisory one that existed before, for informing the pilot about AoA. Being advisory in nature, it didn’t need duplicate sensors.

Next up: you need to implement MCAS and everything is conveniently there in existing code.

That, plus toxic culture for internal people doing FAA (yes, really), plus what you write, plus business pressure on certification...

”±realmax if a or b is ±∞”

That, IMO, is debatable. NaN is an option, too (as it is for the case a=+∞, b=-∞, so one can argue ”0 if a == –b” needs tuning, too)

Both choices break the property m(I) ∈ I, but that may be fine, as NaN doesn’t mean the midpoint isn’t in the interval, but just that one cannot tell where in the interval it lies.
I put this together as a prototype of what it would look like if we had something like .vue files that were converted to Go, built to WebAssembly. So far I don't hate it.

It's basically a go-generate-time tool that parses a .vugu file similar to a vue file but the expressions in it are Go code. It spits out a big function that, when run, produces the resulting virtual DOM - with conditionals, loops, etc.

Some tooling helps with this so you can rebuild automatically on page load and so forth, but the above is the basic idea. Curious what people think.

Almost single major oil company & refinery has a team of traders that directly participate (or use the investment banks / futures brokers) in the crude oil and refined product futures / options markets. This is both for hedging and speculation. If a refinery knows when it's going down for (un)planned, it lets it's traders know and they do trade on that info. In commodities markets, this is legal and does not constitute insider trading.

Yes, of course. Everything is a trade-off. Why the condescension?

But there are almost zero async-everything options in the space. And being confined to a second-class async subworld inside a synchronous ecosystem is a classic error-prone challenge whether you're using Twisted, Event Machine, Tokio, or Netty.

It's a pretty big downside of using Event Machine which even created its own networking primitives instead of using those in the Ruby stdlib.
I think that would have made many people close their accounts, since such an integration wouldn't be welcomed by all.

I only use social networking for professional relations. Sharing anything beyond that with Google would be a nightmare, even if that is a minority opinion.

The communism capitalism dichotomy masks a lot of subtlety, including: China’s market reforms, Taiwan’s inconvenient history of being run as a military dictatorship during much of its economic development, the relative sizes of the two countries, China interfering with Taiwan’s economy, etc

I say this because Taiwan isn’t doing as hot in economic development compared to China costal cities in recent years, but much of that comes from a myriad of other reasons besides “communism is better than capitalism”.

It seems this stock is completely disconnected from the fundamentals and that's what allows it to go so high (And make the founder//VCs rich).

If we push this logic to the extreme, what would prohibit a stock to be completely uncorrelated to the company it represents? What if at some point a stock is traded based purely on the hype and the idea that someone else will eventually buy it for even more eventually later on? This seems to be what's going on with this IPO, it is 100% speculation that someone dumber than you will eventually buy it for even more.

Rich Hickey’s talk on “Hammock driven development” talks about this too and the idea of HDD is to load the information into your mind and then... wait. Relax. Allow your subconscious mind to process it and make connections between things. Then, after an amount of time (how long and how many times you repeat this depending on the complexity of the thing and whether you feel like you have some insight yet or not) you consciously think about it again. Hence “hammock driven development”: think about your problem to load it in, then chill in a hammock for a bit.
