There are lots of relevant differences between climbing and safety gear and posture, but you're spot on about motionlessness as the key element.

Even for safety-gear falls, suspension trauma is somewhat overhyped for "slip and your harness catches you" accidents. The natural reactions - fidget, adjust for comfort, move your legs if they feel tingly - increase the safe time a great deal, so the main risk is falling into a hard-to-recover spot and getting tired.

That said, construction incidents are far more likely than climbing falls to be worst-case events: a substantial fall paired with injury or unconsciousness. When that happens, the impact pulls the harness tight and the victim doesn't adjust it or otherwise move around at all. That's where the stats about trauma starting in minutes enter the picture.
It states in the article that guy is "an arborist and research assistant with the South East Asia Rainforest Research Partnership." Angiosperm is a word most of non-arborists and research assistants have come across, even if we don't know precisely what it means. Were you really surprised that a professional in a particular field knew the basic jargon of said field?

Here is a definition of arborist if you are interested.

"An arborist, tree surgeon, or (less commonly) arboriculturist, is a professional in the practice of arboriculture, which is the cultivation, management, and study of individual trees, shrubs, vines, and other perennial woody plants in dendrology and horticulture. "

COBOL is pretty readable.
Well, I'm not seeing as much activity on CL. But for me, it's mostly a practical reason. I can easily use Clojure or sprinkle some around in most enterprise context because it runs in a symbiosis with existing platforms like the JVM, the CLR, and the various Javascript VMs. So it's much more usable in my day to day.

I also feel that CL and Racket have embraced types a lot more. Doesn't CL have a fair bit of static typing already? And with Racket, Typed Racket has pretty much pioneered the concept of gradual typing now being applied to JS, Python and Ruby.

I know Racket also explored contracts, and has a lot of great ideas. But I feel overall it's missing the: "and we dog food it all on real business use cases in production" aspect that Clojure has.

And for CL, it doesn't seem to have as much in terms of contracts, data DSLs, immutability, simpler primitives, etc. It feels more like a traditional mutable, OOP, dynamic language. It has nailed down the interactive development part though. I don't want to put it down as I'm interested to try more of CL, but overall, it just doesn't seem as active or opinionated anymore. If anything, CL seems to lack any form of opinion, and goes more for the: we just add all features of every other language. Which is a quality on its own, but not driving the discussions forward either.

Better than that, build an anonymity network with both mixing and onion routing, and full padding with chaff. And implement it as drive-by malware, with worm capability. Like WannaCry. It'd be basically a huge botnet. And it would use a covert channel in HD video, which would provide enough bandwidth for text, at least, and maybe images.

That way, participation by servers and clients would be plausibly compulsory. Both because it would evade protection, and because sympathetic admins and users could "accidentally" let it install. And that would provide plausible deniability.

A plausibly deniable user interface would be the hardest part. It'd probably need to self install, and then securely delete itself after use.

Once, a long time ago, during an extended drought in the South East, I met the Corps's commander general. I asked him if they could use their vast water reservoirs to help alleviate the problem. He explained how this would adversely affect their Byzantine obligations to the power grid, which apparently had a higher priority.

I'm not informed or smart enough to criticize his position. But it did shift my perspective on what counts as "a higher priority" for the Corps. And I suspect this is the sort of thing that is at the core of their failures when dealing with the levees.

Tips to Organize Colors for a Design Project
I think you may be going about learning programming wrong. I've seen this several times (source: am DevOps/programmer) where my non-CS-degree sysadmin/IT coworkers will sort of "force it" when trying to learn programming. This includes things like reading technical docs way above their head, copy/pasting a lot from SO and not fully understanding things, and diving into complex code bases. It's a slog for the guys who do it this way, and I think its because there are some in-between steps that they skip over.

I usually suggest tutorials, but I get the impression from them that the tutorials they use are long, boring, and worst of all.. too easy. Then they dive into real-world work and get overwhelmed. I feel like this is akin to showing them how interlocking gears work for the first time and then asking them to fix my car.

What helped me was being in that setting where I would get small not-real-world problems to solve over and over. IOW homework, classwork, etc.. I think is what helped. Eventually I did enough small things that when I saw real-world code, I could pick it apart into pieces that I understood because I've actually programmed those pieces before. Having written it before was a huge help as well because I already had to be familiar with the concepts to get it to work... reading it was then a matter of comparing what they have to what I wrote in the past and incrementing my knowledge (rather than starting from zero understanding).

TL;DR I think there is a gap between beginner/intermediate tutorials and real-world coding. I think you may need to find yourself a path through this gap that involves solving a lot of practice problems and working your way up.

Yeah I imagine the key combo for getting a lot of LFLs in a neighborhood is low crime plus shit walkability. I mean if the nearest library's an easy walk away—or maybe even a half-decent used book store—the appeal's gotta drop. If, on the other hand, there's nothing to look at or do on a neighborhood walk but admire your neighbors' lawn-keeping skills, the appeal (and utility) of a few LFLs scattered around is way higher.
I suspect most people would be more worried about the practicalities. It doesn't look like the cosiest living space, unless you're particularly fond of eating fish.

Yes long term disability is a must have. I usually get it through my employer.

When I was laid off last year I did have the option to continue the disability insurance, but it was a bit more expensive that what I was paying as an employee. IIRC it went from $50/month to $100/month.

What is nice is that my new employer picks up the tab 100%, but it is only 60%. Usually in the past I would pay a bit extra to get 75%, but that is not an option.

I've never thought about private disability insurance before, but it is something that I should look into.

To add some observations.

Equal split can work if the cofounders have known each other for a long time and have already worked together on a previous project. They have the history to confidently gauge each others' future work dedication. An example would be family siblings. Another example is Larry Page & Sergei Brin of Google. When they cofounded Google Inc in 1998, they had already met in Summer 1995 and worked on the "Backrub" research (precursor to google) for more than 2 years.

Unequal split may be more prudent when the entrepreneurs haven't worked together much and therefore haven't tested each others' resolve and dedication to a startup. A famous example would be Drew Houston and Arash Ferdowsi of DropBox. Drew needed to add a cofounder in a hurry and a friend helped him connect with a possible candidate. In this case, he gave cofounder Ferdowsi a smaller ~25% instead of 50%. Other examples of unequal splits include WhatsApp, Instagram, Youtube, Microsoft.

Every situation is different. Robin Chase (Zipcar) thought she was in the 1st scenario of equal cofounders giving equal effort when she was really in the 2nd scenario of unequal effort. That ignorance led her to regret her decision for equal split.

Another generalization I've noticed is that more experienced founders that had equal splits in their 1st startup prefer unequal splits for their 2nd startup. I can't think of any famous founders that went the opposite direction of unequal to equal.

This is true of Javascript, but not of Ruby.

irb(main):001:)> 3 * "3"
TypeError: String can't be coerced into Fixnum

People commonly conflate dynamic typing with weak typing, Ruby has the former, but not the latter (with some explicit exceptions, e.g. to_ary and friends).

That's not to say you can't still end up with some interesting problems though -- if we just slightly change your example:

a = 3
b = 3
# later...
a = "oops"
product = a * b
# product is now "oopsoopsoops"

But this isn't due to automatic "weak types" style coercion -- just that Ruby lets you build a repeated string by multiplying a string by a number.

Thailand, that is not how the contiguous zone is supposed to work.

Sovereign territory stops at the 12 NM limit. The contiguous zone extends up to 12 NM beyond that, for the purposes of enforcing sovereign powers within the territorial zone.

A permanently stationed vessel at 14 NM from shore cannot violate sovereignty, because sovereignty does not exist there, and to claim such is to violate the Law of the Sea Treaty. And to violate the Law of the Sea Treaty is to invite Chinese, Cambodian, Vietnamese, Malaysian, and Burmese fishermen to scoop out everything in your 200 NM EEZ and take it home.

A simple setup is to leave local PDs in the dark as they can always ask for the FBI's help for serious cases. Then the FBI gets access to tools provided by the NSA that look innocuous. For instance, lets assume the NSA snoops enough TOR to do packet correlation attacks. Imagine a simple tool where an FBI agent can enter an IP address or two, and get a list of "associated" IP addresses. Each IP can then be followed as its own lead. Once you've found the needle in a haystack, it's very easy to construct a false narrative of how it was found.

Politically, I don't know how it's possible to look at the current climate and think it will work against mass surveillance. Politicians will just shy away from directly confronting the issue.

Just the day before yesterday I took some cooking books in pristine condition to the library. They used to have a book-swapping box outside. It was gone.

I went in (not too thrilled with the prospect of lugging it all back home) and asked about it. No, they don't have it anymore. I can put my books in the "free section" inside.

I did that, the librarian walked by to take a look and snatched the books away. "They are good, I'll see whether we can use them for the library. Usually we only get books we throw away immediately."

Key missing word: Live-streamed
> The original pointer &str does not own the "Hello world" variable but is a reference to it.

Correct.

> The new &mut T pointer takes ownership of the &str reference

&T/&mut T never take ownership. It is true that &mut T must be exclusive, so it's sort of like "temporary ownership", but the underlying T won't be destroyed when the reference goes out of scope.

> so the original specified (p,11) would be destroyed/overwritten when changed to (p,5).

The original &str will still live as long as it lives; we're creating a new one, and changing the &mut to point to it, not overwriting the existing one.

> The &mut T cannot edit the underlying string because it the reference it owns is a nonmutable reference. Even if the underlying string, "Hello world" was a mutable str variable, then &mut T could not access it since it was provided and immutable reference &str as its type.

Correct.

> If we provided a mutable pointer to the &mut T, would the mutable pointer would take ownership of the "Hello world"? If so, would Rust then throw a compiler error because we've created a situation where we can orphan part of "Hello world"?

No, &mut T never takes ownership.

Hope that helps! Happy to answer more questions if you've got them.
> Best before and sell by is a guarantee. Its the company saying this product will last until X date.

As I mention elsewhere in the thread, these dates do not have any legal meaning at all for the manufacturer. They do have meaning for the vendor (the grocery store), but that's not what people generally imagine is going on.

Even the phrasing "best before" explicitly doesn't guarantee anything; a manufacturer would be crazy to make such a guarantee.
> And it wouldn't hurt to take a daily baby aspirin (probably should ask your doc first).

This is a really interesting point.

Most people have probably seen the debate around daily aspirin, which largely simplifies to "does the decreased clot risk outweigh the increased bleeding event risk?" The math tends to come out very close, but that's largely because the people at high risk of heart attack and stroke are also at elevated risk of bleeding events.

Programmers, heavy gamers, and other people who sit all day seem like they might break that parity; the raised clot risk is circumstantial, not biological, so they're not necessarily at elevated bleeding risk. Changing that circumstance is definitely the winning move, but I'd also love to see a study on how aspirin performs in those populations.
