If editors respected logical indentation levels, tabs would be more feasible. Consider a pair of lines like:

printk(KERN_INFO "%s: blah, blah %d\n",
__func__, arg)

This will work okay like so:

[tab][tab]printk(KERN_INFO "%s: blah, blah %d\n",
[tab][tab] __func__, arg)

If we change the tab size, the alignment is preserved.

Problem is, many editors in "mixed tabs and spaces" mode wants to fill the second line with the maximum possible number of tabs, and minimum spaces. It has no idea that the two belong to the same nesting level. Say that we have four-space tabs. Then the editor does this:

[tab][tab]printk(KERN_INFO "%s: blah, blah %d\n",
[tab][tab][tab] __func_, arg)

four of our alignment spaces turn to a tab, followed by three spaces for alignment.

Well my family moved to Germany and this was our experience with German healthcare:

1. Mom goes to doctor because of shoulder pain

2. Doctor prescribes "health spa" (wtf?) to see if the pain will go away. Apparently "spa time" is a common default prescription because the healthcare system is overrun with people that come in with sniffles and aches that go away in a few days?

3. Spa Time does nothing (as predicted); doctor orders xrays

4. Process/analysis/??? is taking forever; in the meantime we have moved back to USA

5. US doctor correctly diagnoses problem same day as initial visit and orders specialized PT that actually helps

I thought the windows clock defaulted to ~60Hz. I understand it could be pushed up by software to 1Khz for audio players to work correctly. I may be very wrong on the latter point though.
Teachers in K-12 have never been focused on solely dispensing academic knowledge. Acclimation, acculturation, socialization; the list goes on of what they've always been expected to do. My MIL always said that her job (K-4) was to teach the little monsters how to be civilized. If they learned the three Rs, that was a bonus.
yeah, I'd drop "unpopular opinion" along with "hot take", just speak your mind bud.
I somewhat agree with your point, but defense spending in the U.S. is only 3.1% of GDP. It's likely that we could have both Pax Americana and universal health care if the public/private divide were allocated differently. Medicare spending is roughly on par with defense and covers the most expensive patients; the government already pays for 64% of healthcare spending. Bump spending up to about $1T (5% of GDP) and you've got universal health care.

If you look at what Germans actually give up in exchange for the social safety net, it's the ability to get fabulously wealthy. If you're say a high-achieving software engineer or surgeon, it's possible to make roughly 10x more in the U.S. than in Germany - and that's saying nothing about startup founders or CEOs. Hence, people who fit into those categories tend to emigrate.

Your personal value system will determine whether you value the ability to get fabulously wealthy over the ability to know that you'll always have health care and education for your kids. There's a pretty strong selection bias within countries though: many people in America moved there (or their ancestors did) because of the ability to get fabulously wealthy, while the people left behind in the Old World tended to stay because they valued stability. That's perhaps why proposals for a strong social safety net haven't gotten much traction, particularly in the post-80s boom.
Look at the health system. There are a lot of capitalists who make a lot of money on their capital and don't seem very interested in change because most changes will cost profits. But from a market point of view the system is inefficient
and lacks transparency .
I think this is actually a great point. To expand on it a bit further, imagine that the US ceased to exist tomorrow. Europe would have to massively increase its own defense spending, or else risk that China or Russia would decide to walk right in.

That massive increase would have to come at the cost of social services, or else further increase their already considerable debt-to-gdp ratio.

Often I'm just looking for some vaguely novel line in an opening that might be interesting to pursue in a game (I am not a strong player but love studying). I sometimes like seeing the difference in analysis between Stockish and Leela of real games (Magnus Carlsen attributes much of his recent form to trying to play more like AlphaZero with all sorts of positional pawn sacrifices etc). I've also tried to do some programmatic stuff around the analyses to automate things (i.e. find a move in a common line that nobody in my database has ever played but the computer says is best, or find lines where it looks like the opponent only has a single path through to stay in the game etc).
With government, you also get periodic opportunities to vote on whether or not it should change course. It's hard to change a government's direction with the ballot box, of course, but it's not impossible.

Contrast this to Facebook, which is structured specifically to prevent even large shareholders from having a say in its operations. Facebook is the Empire of Zuck, and the only factor that matters in its decisionmaking are the whims of its boy king.
> let’s also be real about what allows Germany, France, etc to provide “free” healthcare

Germany doesn't provide free healthcare, it has a compulsory insurance purchase system. Both Germany and France spend less on both a per capita and per GDP basis on health than the US does, so they need no subsidy; in fact, their more efficient healthcare systems are a vastly larger subsidy to the rest of their welfare system than US’s defense spending is. (Moving defense spending from their current levels up to US levels would cost them 1-2% of GDP, moving healthcare spending from current levels up to US levels would cost 8-9% of GDP.)

The reason the US can't afford the rest of a European-style welfare system isn't the (huge, but still not a big deal in this instance) amount the US spends on defense, but the mind-bogglingly enormous amount the US wastes on the most wasteful and inefficient healthcare system in the world, which would be fairly in line, in per GDP costs, with many universal healthcare systems if you considered only the public expenditures, and not the (slightly larger) private share of health spending.
I really like this. If these guys are smart, they could use it as an experiment to isolate how much impact a given "bad practice" has on a user's ability to accomplish their goal. Then if they're REALLY smart they could monetize that knowledge in the form of a course...

The US defense budget is more than that of the rest of the top 10 combined. There are many things that could be said about it, but underrated is a bit of a stretch, to say the least. You could cut it by two thirds and the so-called pax americana people like to mention wouldn't be threatened in the least.

A large component of the dutch GDP as well as population is below sea level. They have been building dykes since centuries. Considering the large coastline of the US, there is definitely a huge cost to climate change induced sea level rises, so some poorer settlements will likely be given up but on the other end I doubt that e.g. downtown boston will be one of those settlements. It's more a question of how economical mitigation measures are vs resettlement. Overall the costs and damages will vastly outnumber the (massive) investments that we'd have to do now to slow down climate change.

That's not what the study said. Successful women reported more discrimination to the study authors. There's no assertion that they made accusations against specific men, and absolutely no evidence that this "helps career advancement". Care to cite your source on that?

In practice virtually every such accusation I've seen reported ends up with the woman leaving the employer, not the reverse.

The counter hypothesis is that women who don't want to deal with the sexist bullshit just give up on careers like this. This has the notable advantage of explaining the gender balance and the inversion of accusation rates.

> The assertion that criminals commit crimes because they do not think they will be caught is thin on evidence

It's ironic that your statement is itself completely devoid of any supporting evidence, whereas the assertion you're attacking is well supported by evidence. The linked article explicitly cites a study showing that the certainty of conviction is an effective deterrent.

https://www.sentencingproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/01...

> Research to date generally indicates that increases in the certainty of punishment, as opposed to the severity of punishment, are more likely to produce deterrent benefits

> If there was 100% certainty of being apprehended for committing a crime, few people would do so. But since most crimes, including serious ones, do not result in an arrest and conviction, the overall deterrent effect of the certainty of punishment is substantially reduced

> in reviewing macrolevel studies that examine offense rates of a specific population, the researchers found than an increased likelihood (certainty) of apprehension and punishment was associated with declining crime rates
The US government spends more than many other OECD governments on health care. Not enough Americans know this basic fact.

Your argument is based on a faulty premise: Germany actually spends just a small bit more on government health care. Meanwhile the US spends vastly more on health in total when you add private spending.

hmm. i cant agree with this as a person who does phone calls and then sees people in real life. i guess there is a market for facetimers like yourself that i must respect. if you care that much about appearing properly on a video call with grandma, sure let apple redraw your eyeballs haha.

I’m not arguing that the US healthcare system is more efficient (it definitely isn’t). I’m arguing the political and economic conditions present in post-91, EU-integrated, unified Germany were only made possible in part by constant military and political deterrence provided in part by US defense spending. US military power also increased the politician and diplomatic leverage of the West during the Cold War (the most obvious example being NATO).
A lot of young adults are graduating and finding zero hope of getting a full time job with benefits. Also they have large amounts of non-dischargeable student loans. In addition if they have any health problems they are no longer on parent's insurance and suffering disproportionately. I'm not surprised to see issues with drug use and suicide bringing down life expectancies. I also don't expect the trend to get much better in the next few years.
In the early days I used one monolithic OS for everything, but I have since virtualized everything with VMWARE and no longer have to worry about my OS failing and then having to check my phone for solutions on how to fix my broken OS.

One obvious caveat to virtualisation is the overhead, but with time, you can learn how to use virtualisation with ease and re-provision an entire new OS (and virtual disk) if needed. In terms of how this relates to disk health: well the answer is you now have multiple healthy disks, and only rarely have to then deal with failing disks, which due to compartmentalization, the risk of a failing disk ruining your day is minimized and hopefully the failing disks have nothing too crucial on them. Throw in some cloud storage solutions for backups and this makes things even more bareable.

Having military bases in Europe (if that's what you're referring to) is mutually beneficial to the the U.S and Europe but I wouldn't call it a subsidy. It's done primarily to preserve America's global sphere of influence.

The economic stimulus ended in the 50's, the cold war 30yrs ago.

You can have free healthcare as well as Pax Americana. If anything I believe that free healthcare (and a better education system) would keep Pax Americana around a lot longer.

Some of the reasons for exorbitant health costs are not due to budget. The legislature actively attempts to obscure market conditions by allowing insurance companies to not publish prices. Remember that the US spends more as a percentage of GDP on health care than any other country.

Perhaps briefly. Sea level rise is currently neatly tracking the IPCC's most pessimistic models. I don't think any of them model catastrophic events like glacier collapse.

If we lose Thwaites, the West Antarctic Ice Sheet's days are probably numbered, and you better factor in the Greenland Ice Sheet too. East Antarctic is losing mass now, at unprecedented rate. All seem to be accelerating, even formerly too cold East Antarctic.

Place your bets please. 3m or 20m rise? No more ice? I don't think anyone knows or is willing to guess when or where equilibrium lies. How soon? As the article hints, 10 years, 1,000 years, no one knows that either. Yet.
All of the MySQL "they just shoulda" and "they just coulda" arguments here are irrelevant.

There's no distinct advantage of MySQL over Postgres, either in smaller or larger environments for the gitlab use case and with their development team.

My personal experience is that Postgres is much closer to operating commercial RDBMSs which makes the experience of DBAs much more portable and relevant. Moving someone from the Oracle or MSSQL world to Postgres is relatively much easier than moving them from the MySQL world.

MoonMail[0] is a similar product, but runs via Serverless framework on Lambda and other services on AWS (or their hosted version for $$). I really love the idea but it was a huge hassle to deploy due to many service configurations and different Serverless framework versions.
