>What helped me a lot with social stuff was CrossFit and Martial Arts, and dance classes. These things will make it easier to get dates and you will make friends

Is it really easy to get to know people in those situations ? I am awkward with people atleast for a month after I meet them. 2-3 years ago I went to the gym regularly for half an year, but didn't manage to befriend anyone there or even get to know somebody's name. Maybe I wasn't trying or the gym is just different...

I will have to try search for something related to hiking/being out in nature. It's been on my mind to do something that makes you feel alive - that generates adrenaline ? I am a little fascinated with how humans fit in nature and what it takes for us to survive in the wild away from civilization. And in general the idea of overcoming physical challenges of your body. Even though I am a softie... Maybe there is an activity like that.
Norway has large oil deposits. They export it and put the money in a sovereign wealth fund and use it to subsidise environmental policies. In essence this is payed by oil that someone else is burning.
Downvoters, scroll up. My comment is outdated, calm down.
Your Lobster version has a stray comma, it is: map(my_array) element: element * 2

Note how if you write this example with multiple statements instead of "elements * 2", suddenly the Lobster syntax looks a lot more consistent, and the Ruby example doesn't look that great as it looks completely different from the built-in for loop.
Such a proposal would mean no more new airplane designs. Note that modern airliners are much safer than their predecessors.

An awful lot of mistakes are only "obvious" in hindsight; engineering is full of such.
Saying the role of the German president is symbolic is a bit like saying the role of flight attendants is to sell food and drinks. He has important powers, but only in case of a crisis that would otherwise result in a dysfunctional government.
Aaaand it’s down! Good job Github and everyone who helped.

Hope this helped, OP
Yep, now if you have N friends your data might be in the hands of N companies. You'd need a GDPR-like privacy framework with audits and even then the risk of mistakes is enormous.

(Note that when people talk about data portability they're really talking about federation since social networking can't work otherwise. Non-social data is a little easier.)
On it's own, pointer dereffing is not unsafe. Null pointers and out of bounds dereffing is what causes problems. Unless you're in an unsafe block I don't think Cone allows for arbitrary pointer shenanigans like C does.
Yep oops, sorry.

Anyway, psyched to see more people experimenting with this kind of thing!
I built something like this in ~2006 called "PHPinPHP" because I wanted to generate PHP classes from my mysql schema. It even used "[[[...]]]" blocks like cog does.

I eventually realized that A) generated code is completely unmaintainable; and B) the reason I thought I needed code generation is because my base language wasn't flexible enough.

Later on I switched to python and haven't yet hit a problem that I need code generation to solve.
I see this insurance argument often and I don't understand it. High risk applicants should pay more. If the society decides to support the marginalized it can still do so without an obfuscation layer.

Having said this, the insurance company should get the risk assessment only (without concrete data used to compute the risk).

How does this rely on associativity?
It does not rely on parenthetical associativity. The operator is of course associated with an operand, but that’s not what is meant by associativity.
>Higher airspeed = more difficult to manually trim.

The point, which I think you missed, is that you don't need to manually trim. Look at the image I linked to. It's MCAS down 2.5 degrees. Pilots up 2.5 degrees. MCAS down 2.5 degrees. Pilots up 2.5 degrees. It's a repeated cycle of the pilots getting trim to where they want it and the MCAS kicking in to nose them down.

I suppose if you wait until the MCAS has trimmed all the way you might find yourself in an unrecoverable situation. But I'm not sure how that would happen and doesn't reflect what we saw in the Indoneisa Air crash.
It would be more accurate to say advocating for a different interpretation of the second amendment. At times, some do advocate for the repeal of an amendment as well, and in that case the "opposed to x amendment" verbiage seems a bit more appropriate. There have been a few groups calling for constitutional conventions in the past few years and I think there are some examples of this there. I don't think actually repealing the second amendment has ever been a remotely mainstream idea in the United States.

> While it is correct to argue that Supreme Court decisions are "case law", the Supreme Court is the final appellate court in the US -- so the only way to change their decision would be through a constitutional amendment.

The supreme court does change their mind about things, as the Heller decision demonstrates.
In case it wasn't clear from the article, I'm moving from contributing to Rails to Rust, not as a user. Most of my contributions to Rails were around Active Record (the ORM), and I got into Rust by creating its most used ORM. My main role in the project right now is co-leading the team responsible for crates.io, the Rust package registry, which is a web application written in Rust.

So all of those things overlap quite a bit (also am I not allowed to expand the scope of things I work on beyond web frameworks? I'm not really sure why they have to overlap at all)
The worst case turns out not to be one of the children, it was the coach. He wasn't under and caused a few problems, turns out they hadn't adjusted the dose for his increased body weight.
I believe I had interviewed once at careers360 a couple of years back, don't think it was mentioned to me then that you guys work majorly on Django otherwise I think I would have had a better chance at clearing it lol...
But yeah Django is awesome, It has paid my bills for years. Hopefully async will come in relatively soon with Andrew Godwin's focus on it.
They should at least flag accounts with an unusually high number of custom domains. Seems easy to do IMO.
I've never contributed to go in the past, why would I be transitioning to working on go full time?

Woah great feedback, I will definitely use some of this. I'll ping you again privately when I make some changes, just so you know I'm not blowing smoke. ;)

The opening line "The first project out of Aytwit's software research labs." is making me cringe now lol.

It sounds to me like you are not an introvert and judge who is by "not wanting things enough". It's not as simple as you think.
Australian govt hosting strategy: duplication by the gallon and done in a hurry
1) As mentioned in other comments, it would result in significant work to add an easy mode, and the testing required to ensure the game is still balanced on easy would cost (hourly wage of a tester * 40 hours or however long it takes to beat the game * however many test playthroughs to get reasonable coverage) - you could easily get to six figures in cost to add the easy mode.

2) The artistic vision of the games is to be difficult. Why should the developers compromise that for people who are explicitly not in their target audience anyway?

3) As the article says, beating one of these games is somewhat of an exclusive club - difficulty gatekeeping is necessary to preserve that.

I haven't yet seen a valid argument for adding easy mode - they all are based around the assumption that easy should be there, and has been taken away.

I don't buy disability as a reason to add it, considering a quadriplegic man has beaten Sekiro, and the other arguments I've seen are things like "I don't have the time anymore to beat games on full difficulty" which I don't find compelling - the market is full of titles which cater for that.
To prove the correctness of your code you would write tests in similar way as SQLite does, no? They have, like, 100x more lines of code for tests than actual code they test?
The article seems kind of light; all of the stuff I expected to read was summarized in the "The Tech Architecture" section, then the article suddenly ended. It felt like they spent three sections on background information and only one on details about the new player.

Backdoor is such a loaded word to use for a vulnerability. Especially since Huawei is involved. Shame on the person who came up with the title and the reporter who uses the term in the article.
While I agree with your point that most bullied people are rendered helpless because of a huge power differential, how can this be extended to a community based entirely on free association? Worst case, you stand up and leave.

Compared to the military, where you are "kept" using a state's monopoly of deadly force, hence any bullyig situation is way much harder to resolve because you're unable to leave.

In "Regulation of Pharmaceutical Innovation" Sam Pelzman shows with statistics that the increased safety of drugs is more than counterbalanced by the commensurate delays in approval of life saving treatments, along with new treatments never developed because of the cost of the approval process.
Privacy is nothing more that be allowed individuality. What google and facebook do is to steal your identity and everything that it means to be you. They can then normalise your personality through algorithms, erasing whatever is left of you.
Is there anything to prevent guessing dozens of people until you guess the right one?
Personally, I think there is far too much focus on 'which language', rather than on the fundamentals of how to think/reason about a program, troubleshooting, and exposure to the actual documentation. Once you have a solid grasp of one language, picking up others becomes much easier. So someone who only has Javascript experience would likely be able to at least grok the basic structure of a c++ program. I feel the main problem with all the intro courses I have ever taken was too much reliance on textbooks/tutorials, and too much desire to over-simplify. I remember multiple people I took CS101 (Java) with who had no idea how to do anything outside of eclipse, and when they wanted to expand their skills through self-study had no idea how to use the documentation in a helpful manner. They knew how to write a class diagram, but all functions & classes had been introduced piecemeal, so they got overwhelmed looking at the official docs & just gave up out of frustration.

That said, I don't think something like haskell or straight assembler is a good choice, but any of the C-likes or Python would be fine, the differences just aren't great enough to matter much for the absolute beginner. A strong case could be made for Javascript, simply for ease of development, since any computer is almost guaranteed to have the basic software for writing, executing, & debugging. It is far from my favorite language, but for early intro courses I think pedagogy is far more important than language or tooling.

And personally, I feel that the only 'CS' that should be required for all students is keyboarding. Does someone who wants to go into the trades (excepting trades like machining) really have any urgent need for programming? However, almost any job will require typing skills.

Students have limited time, and I think it's foolish to force everyone to learn to program. Those classes have their benefits, but so do music classes. But, given avaliable time and resources, should we also require all students to learn an instrument?

That’s exactly how I found the CNAME takeover in the case of OP. I guess if this happens to anyone, the first mitigation step would be to search all of GitHub for that CNAME.

Lighthaus – An Interactive Light Installation
I don't claim Venezuela's currency is an example of success. I'm saying that their currency's failure is a result of the failure of their government, and even waving a wand and switching everyone over to BTC (which again, the initial distribution problem) won't magically make their government work. They can't control BTC but they sure can control the populace. They'd make it illegal and beat everyone with BTC until they handed it in to the central government, and smash everyone's computers. Bitcoin's weakness there is still a rubber hose. I'm saying that trading existing BTC between themselves is a zero-sum problem since the total quantity of BTC and the total quantity of Bolivars (hence the total value) remains exactly the same within Venezuela, and mining isn't an option due to nationalization and low yields.

Trading with other countries opens up many different options for storing value like fiat currencies backed by 'stable' governments like AUD, CAD, NZD, USD, EUR -- or assets like gold, equities, real estate, etc. Each of which would have stored value 5X better than BTC over the last 2 years. However, the real issue remains, you have to trade to obtain either these assets or BTC and nobody wants to trade anything for Venezuelan Bolivars because they in turn don't believe they'll get anything for them. That won't be solved until the government is replaced.

Until the government is replaced any BTC "solutions" for the Venezuelans are efforts to legitimize BTC and increase the value of the holdings of the "helpers," not to really solve the problems on the ground there. If they were trying to help, they'd just raise money for NGOs.
I agree. Peltier fits a narrow niche. If you want a small temperature drop and can dissipate the heat on the hot side and are okay with the inefficiency it's for you. I tried to create a Peltier cooling system for a wearable device. It was a miserable failure. WIthout a way to dissipate the heat (your CPU heatsink + fan comment) it resulted in a net heat gain.

Mypy 0.700 Released: Up to 4x Faster
No, that is a simplistic explanation that misses the key concept.

When you have a power "glut" you generally aren't decommiting many resources unless your commitment and forecast were insanely off. What happens is that the more expensive resources are sent to their minimum and are therefore no longer setting price. At that point, the cheapest units (wind and solar) are then setting price. No energy market in the US has logic to say "I don't need anymore and will then just go to zero". The linear programming problem is still looking at the cost to balance power and load (put simplistically).

Storage will help solve some issues, but will likely not be the short-term panacea people are making it out to be.

There's burden of proof when people agree there is, not merely when an argument is issued. I operate on the idea that if you want something, it is that desire which convicts you with a burden to actualize it. If I say Pi is 3.14 (a false but useful statement), I feel it's the burden of those who want the knowledge to prove it to themselves what's real.

It's different, of course, if we're talking about special contexts like law. Then the burden of proof is formal because society has agreed upon it.
One advantage that they have is that they can pump the heat in both directions and change direction very quickly. This means that you can keep temperature very precisely with a closed regulation loop.
This seems like a cool way to make an ad hoc dsl. I'm not a game programmer but I imagine it could be useful

Smalltalker here. Being able to pass in lambdas very casually is a great way of producing an ad hoc DSL. Imagine a custom control structure which does a database transaction. Just implement a function!
Free Speech isn't a blank check - there are limits - even in the United States we have well defined limits on speech - most critically we limit speech that is a 'imminent call to lawlessness'. I'd like to broaden the limits on speech some, specifically to cover doxing and incitement of online harassment - its a balancing test between free speech and civility, and I fear we are on the wrong side of this currently.

Saying something unpopular, but non-threat provoking shouldn't give your opponents carte blanche to do whatever they like.
Forgetting about the enormous heat sink is a typical rookie mistake. Those things produce lots of heat when you try to cool something. They are much better suited for heating something to a specific temperature than cooling.
It's a loaded newspaper: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Epoch_Times
On the 757, they bypass the software and cut off the electrical signal to the drive system.
The Epoch Times is a Falun Gong propaganda arm, and Falun Gong is basically Chinese Scientology that the CCP has been trying to stamp out.
The Epoch Times is run by Falun Gong so they have an anti-Chinese government slant.

There is no valid reason, ever, for a driver to do what the Huawei driver did here. That should be obvious given the detection methods that Microsoft implemented in the kernel to find and prevent just this behavior.

The Microsoft blog might stop short of calling it malware, but I think we don't need the faux politeness here. The fact that their malware also contained a privilege escalation (the "vulnerability") is merely icing on the cake.
The Epoch Times has a very anti-PRC political stance. I've seen sensationalism in their reporting on the PRC.

Interactive Brokers easily beats Transferwise
If you send a hint about a difficult conversation (#reunite, #breakup), what are the odds that the recipient won't be able to guess who sent it and the gist of the secret? Is this any better than just having the conversation directly?

If you don't send a hint, it seems extremely unlikely that the other person will use the service with the exact same hashtag, as another commenter pointed out.

So, where is the utility?
Didn't know about that yet. That indeed looks interesting. Thanks a lot!
That's my case too, though I'm not sure that I distinguish between feeling and thinking. But playing music is how I recharge my mental batteries. Not only does it exercise a different set of thought processes, but it also demands enough of my attention that I have to stop thinking about work. And it also gets me out of the typical techie social milieu and into a wholly different cast of characters.
> What I find interesting about this hypothesis is that consciousness is just a stream of thoughts which we do not control.

I would define consciousness as that which keeps the body alive, reacting to changes in the environment and actions of other agents.

Consciousness is a perception-judgement-action-reward loop. It's a reinforcement learning kind of situation, where the agent, embodied in an environment, learns to act in such a way as to maximise its rewards. We have been programmed by evolution to favour certain kinds of rewards which are good for keeping us alive.

This definition is much more concrete and practical - it has been applied with some degree of success in designing AI agents. It gives a purpose and a mechanism to consciousness.

The consciousness loop is formed of sensing, judging, acting, learning from sensation and reward. Sensing is like deep learning - a neural net converts raw sensory signals in high level representations. Sensory learning is mostly acquired by reconstruction or self supervision. Judging is like RL - where an agent learns to predict the future rewards following its current situation and actions. It can be model based (reasoned) or model free (instinctual). Acting is like the feedback based motion planning algorithms in robotics. Reward learning happens in the background of all these processes. When you put all these systems together, and inside a body, inside an environment, you get consciousness.

In the end it's just the competition of genes for survival, self replication in a limited resource environment over billions of years.

I'd argue there is a fundamental difference between tolerating intolerant thought and tolerating violent (or even pseudo-violent) acts. People will always have intolerant thoughts, they may not however, ever take that to violent actions.
Test cases do not establish proof.

There could always be another rare edge case.
