It's an impressive feat, but this article fails to mention that she wasn't "climbing" in the sense that most people use the term. She was jumaring, where you use devices to climb up a fixed rope. It's exhausting and not without skill, but it's not at all like free climbing by holding onto the rock. (See, for example, https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/10-year-old-girl-climbs-y...)

(Free climbers use ropes, but only to arrest falls, not to climb up. Free soloers like Alex Honnold don't even use that protection, though that's very rare and incredibly dangerous. This is "aid climbing" with ascenders. It does have dangers of its own: protection points can fail, and she's wearing a helmet because rocks do fall.)
I don't think we should. Calling people names won't help change their minds.

Call them something that indicates the true problem: misinformed.

The bunker was already dug though? That seems at least to make the cost a bit less absurd.
The article mentions that the banknote passed multiple reviews before release, but doesn’t say who had the ultimate responsibilty for its being approved.
That's not a thing.

The closest thing might be Child Endangerment (or similar depending on jurisdiction) but I'd argue with the safety gear she had on it wouldn't pass the "reasonable person" test. Which is to say a reasonable person wouldn't find it unsafe to climb El Capitan with full safety gear, an experienced adult climber, and experience climbing smaller peaks herself.
I had a friend die at Yosemite due to a falling rock. She was wearing a helmet too.

Good climb. BBC reported it as a free climb which is inaccurate though. She used ascenders
Are these people all putting those bolts to hold ropes into the face of the rock? It's getting pretty stupid when fathers are taking their ten year old daughters up the climb. If it's dangerous it should be unlawful, if it's not then what's the point?
Interesting that they still had a truecrypt package. It looks like they've had the veracrypt package for a while (The currently maintained major fork).

I really like Alpine. Last time I tried using it on a bare metal system, it still had some missing EFI packages (I can't remember if it was the grub UEFI stuff or efibootmgr) and I ended up going Void, but I should take a look at it again. I use it as a base for a lot of my containers.
It's very popular for minimal/tiny Docker images.
Alpine is very popular in the Docker community, due to the distro's minimal footprint. So I imagine at least some of the intrest may stem from those who create Docker images.
The milestone there targets a completion date of 05/01/2019 for all the attached issues, but they still haven't resolved all of them.
Yes, that's a great example. It turns out having ramps widely available is really handy even if someone is just temporarily incapacitated--or is pushing a stroller or a shopping basket. Captions is another.
I use it as a container base (docker / lxc) for containers that have very few dependencies and small footprints.
yeah, and bad weather is a risk too. But riding a bike and other kid things face similar risks.
Probably just the difference between their planned release date/roadmap and when the ticket actually got closed.
I know this isn't technically what you are looking for, but have you looked into the rank and rent model? Basically, you build local service based websites, rank them, and then sell the leads that come in.

I'm in Berlin with a failed startup behind me, I was a cofounder. Doesn't seem to be a problem. When asked about it I tell the truth with no spin, and I feel like all I've gotten was props for trying. Where in Germany are you? In Berlin it's hard to imagine having trouble landing a job if you're a decent programmer.

Not great.

One YouTube science video I saw recently tried to use a hyperbolic grid as a way of visualizing the constancy of the speed of light in Special Relativity. In Galilean relativity, the grid would be like a sheet of graph paper or hex paper. Start in the middle of the circle representing the speed of light, and acceleration would take change your reference frame, moving you across the grid and closer to the circular boundary. In Special Relativity, when you take a step, you are still in the center of the circle.

I wonder if such a pedagogic tool could be made from HyperRogue?
> Isn't it possible that raising the minimum wage lifts more people out of poverty than it pushes into poverty through joblessness?

Yes. It's possible. Probable even. But not certain.
I'm using alpine with docker (https://hub.docker.com/r/_/alpine), and one of the thing that bothers me the most is NOT having the ability to just say "alpine:3". This is not an available tag (for reasons unknown to me).

If you look at many other similar official docker images like python or golang, you can just say python:3, or golang:1 so that I don't have to worry about tracking non-breaking version updates.

Not having the ability to specify "alpine:3" and not having the time to track such versions might be also why people do alpine:latest in their Dockerfiles, cross their fingers, and hope for the best.

> We evolved in an environment where violence was part of real life and a real threat to our own well being

It's beneficial for survival to have some strong reaction on observing violence. Could be "charge", "run for your life", or something else, but it was never "click a mouse button and move on to the next violence scene". Similar for gore, evolutionary correct reaction is "run and/or vomit".

People who failed to react in a strong way did not pass genes: joined the violence scene they observed, caught the same decease and joined the gore scene they observed.
Not sure if this is standard, but what I usually do is bump the version only on a breaking change. So if I add a field, nothing new happens. Remove a field, or fundumentally change the output, then I bump it up.
This is amazing, not only for learning english but also for quickly finding videos of a subject you are interested in (which is quicker than YouTube search as this is almost a "Feeling lucky" search).
This is very cool.

I looked up words that have always tripped me up, including banal, brood, indefatigable, preternatural, conch, niche. Indefatigable, banal, and conch had some conflicting ones but the "correct" one occurred enough times that I got the idea. ("Brood" probably isn't commonly mispronounced, I just got it mixed up early in life and never quite got it sorted it out. :)

The results for "niche" are consistently mixed up though, which means that word will continue to drive me insane. Neesh or nitch!? I mix it up when I use it without any rhyme or reason.
> That being said, I don't think it takes that much energy to remember that the right is the good value.

And then clever guys come and use left as the good value, because then want to retry on error (as you can see in this thread). Plus it takes quite some energy to discuss the, well, unfortunate naming.

Having compassion doesn't mean breaking down when seeing [eg.] gutted child on a screen.

Where I'd draw the line is seeing that, and wanting/asking to kill more, or enjoying that, or feeling the need to justify the act, or not stopping to consider the act.

For those interested, the Alpinist article from a week ago has much more detail (and some history).[0]

It looks like she led the first pitch of 5.7 free climbing and an A0 (easy aid climbing) bolt ladder. She otherwise followed and cleaned/removed gear for her father and a family friend in the party, who appear to be experienced. They planned for 4 days, but completed in 5. My understanding is this is a standard pace for amateurs and they were even outpacing other parties. The primary difficulties for a kid, besides the technical climbing, are maintaining focus for 5 days on the wall 1000s of feet up and sleeping on a small ledge, and carrying a large amount of heavy gear, relative to bodyweight.

I'm here to watch all the comments about "child endangerment" which are coming straight from American helicopter parent culture.

I'm really shocked at how most parents want the safest environment possible for their child so they don't even get any challenge in their everyday life. I saw children with helmets walking in the street. I got snarky comments from people when I said I was hiking in the woods with my kids. ("This is irresponsible: what would happen if you got lost with your kids").

I want my kids to try things even if they might be dangerous from time to time. There is nothing great about living an ultra safe dull life.

So you would also recommend watching Archer and H. Jon Benjamin animated series? (Bob's Burgers) I'd certainly recommend them though I'm not sure he's a canonical example of the language.

SQS has different characteristics from a Redis queue or a RabbitMQ queue. That's the source of a lot of my nervousness around it: when those abstractions break and somebody-who-isn't-me has to debug it.

Yes, there is plenty wrong with this. It is a strange economic intervention that distorts incentives and rarely helps low-wage populations or innovation. Unfortunately there are other options besides "automate" or "pay more".

For example, you can pay people under the table, outsource, close down your business (as many restaurants do), change your business model to require less labor (many restaurants in the US are switching from full service to counter-serve). None of these are good for workers.
You and the GP claim this, yet if these execs have truly been exposed to the worst that gets posted to their platforms, why has there been no appreciable change made? Unless they're so hardened to it they can't emphasize with the horrors that they're asking people to face.

But that’s still giving an iot device access to my router and allowing it to connect to the internet with the same public ip address as the rest of my devices. I would rather not take the chance.
Fourth: population increase to 10bn by 2050. Everyone better get used to drastically duller lifestyles if we want zero emissions with that many people on the planet.
I respectfully disagree. The U.S. has safety nets for those in poverty (e.g., TANF, Medicaid, CHIP, SNAP, EITC, Supplemental Security Income, and housing assistance). Having the U.S. tax payer subsidize businesses unwilling to pay their workers living wages seems illogical to me. This is happening right now. Walmart, Amazon, and McDonalds, for example, all have huge numbers of employees dependent on welfare programs. Why is that logical, and how would dropping the already low minimum wage help this?

One solution gaining some attention is UBI. What are your thoughts on it?
As far as I understand, most people use alpine in docker containers due to it's being quite lightweight with a decently large number of packages.
I personally use it directly on the hardware on my personal server and I love it. It's all the fun and flexibility of a minimal system like arch, with all the simplicity of upstart.
Also it takes about 2 minutes to install, which is helpful for setting up testing environments.

But a two bedroom apartment is a straight up luxury in the grand scheme of things and a ridiculous minimum standard to set.

Best method I've ever used for spotting misspellings in what I write: read the words you've written from last to first. Reading in this order breaks the prediction your brain does on what it expects to read next and stops you from filling in the words yourself or simply recognizing them by "shape" instead of reading each letter.

Of course this does nothing for grammar or general flow nor does it help you if you've spelled the wrong word correctly.

Sure! Also, by total coincidence, now it's possible to trace every single photograph ever taken to whoever took it. A bunch of photojournalists in Syria, Iran, Mexico, and Missouri go missing, but I'm sure that's a coincidence.

Would the plaintiff still have a case if the defendants staffed a phone line with someone available to navigate the websites by verbal instruction and made the availability of that service obvious?

You're totally right to point out that Republicans are much more shameless in this regard. I didn't intend to imply the two parties are the same here, but that's how it reads.

But even if the republican party+electorate are at "fault" here - I don't think that fact is going to help anyone, nor that Democrats are acting like little angels here anymore (if they ever did). They don't have the power to stop this dynamic, but they sure are participating pretty wholeheartedly in it now.

More fundamentally, the idea of open markets and in general an open society (i.e. the anti-Trump) was in some sense fallacious, and Democrats didn't admit this quick enough. A rising tide does not lift all boats - not automatically; at least. And there was precious little care for ensuring people had the negotiating position to actually profit from the changing times. And what rebalancing there was didn't actually serve to reduce inequality, merely to make it sting a little less - but people don't like being treated as inferiors needing a paternalistic pat on the head.

I think of it a bit like a prisoners dilemma: sure, it's utterly self-destructive to do what Trump (and by extension his voters) are doing. But it's partly a reaction borne of lack of other options: if they're going to get screwed, then screw everyone; time for a reboot. Only: that reboot isn't in sight, and all kinds of other nasty social habits are coming along for the ride.

I'm exaggerating a little as a point of debate, but you might say that the liberal elite (say) 15-30 years ago was being a little deceptive, and were doing so in a somewhat condescending, abrasive way, and that was plain dumb - because that helped cause something like Trump. For the playground analogy: maybe they started, but this fight was avoidable.
The problem is that mobs don't care about what's real. They're incentivized to believe whatever reinforces their existing narrative.

Imagine a signature like this:

function oneDividedByX(x: Double): Double

oneDividedByX(2) // 1/2

oneDividedByX(3) // 1/3

and so on.. Except with zero. With zero you get an exception, however nothing in function signature mentions about such result. You only expect a double

In Either case - it solves the problem, because the signature would be like this:

function oneDividedByX(x: Double): Either[ComputingError, Double]

As for throwing exceptions - it can be done in pure way, but catching exceptions cannot
We should use burgers as currency, then.
More than syntax, methinks it's semantics and culture. For those who went off road toward ML, Lisps, Prolog etc, syntax becomes a mere detail. We care more about what the linguistic constructs give us, whatever the clothing. But for others, it's a god damn slap in the face.
Someone mentioned on HN a few months ago that they definitely do have large banks of both Apple-branded and non-Apple machines running a special in-house flavor of macOS. In fact, the last manufacturing run of XServe hardware had a more souped-up configuration than they ever offered to customers and was reserved for internal use at Apple.

It would be ... well, kind of them to offer IT solutions they use internally to other IT departments tasked to support work on Apple platforms. At the very minimum, they could license a version of macOS (or "serverOS") tuned for server workloads, VM deployments, and Apple Remote Desktop sessions.
