Humidity is the real killer. You can easily handle temperatures above 60C as long as the air is bone dry.

It's not 100% humidity, it's a flowing scale that depends on how much cooling you need to do via sweating.

If it's 10C outside, you don't need any sweating at all and the air humidity doesn't matter.

If it's 30C outside and 50% humidity, you're going to feel miserable, older folks could suffer under the stress.

From my experience, keep the sum of humidity in % and temperature in C below 100, better 80, to be comfortable.
The United States has been executing people overseas for decades without any oversight. Predator drones during the Bush/Obama/Trump eras have only increased in use with no sign of decreasing.

If you read The Dictators Handbook, the author talks about how more democratic nations use foreign aid as a means to prop up autocratic nations in order to extract their resources (autocracy overseas to support the standard of living of those who are your selectorate).

It's like we totally forgot about the 2013 NSA spying revelations, or the 1973 CIA backed coupe in Chile, or the US overthrowing a democratically elected government during the Iranian-Contra crisis...

We should absolutely be concerned that the United States could (and does) inject backdoors to spy on other nations, because causing them to destabilize helps with resource extraction and to keep prices low, pleasing the domestic constituency.

Yes, his motor function is also affected, but has improved a lot, such that now as an adult, it is primarily his fine motor skills that are poor. But he has no problems using a mouse. The wear pattern of his shoes is still a little abnormal.

The poor motor function is probably related to poor myelination of the nerves in his body, as his proprioception and pain perception are affected.
It's not OK. It's bad if either do it. So if your response to "China is bad" is not "That is bad" but "The US is bad too!", then it's a big red flag that the discussion isn't about security, but something else.
I would be okay with them adding some oversight for online mortgage brokers. I was recently shopping to refi my home and it is dark and shady shopping for a mortgage online. Even the bigger name brokers like Loan Depot, Better, Amerisave, Rocket Mortgage were pushing documents through stages that they had no right to and were attempting to have me sign my wife's name. It wasn't just one-off, it seems to be the standard operating procedure for them.

Practical Ways to Write Better JavaScript
Any industry needs competition! Sadly the consolidation of the [server] processor market over the last decade from half a dozen or more very different designs (which had collectively driven computing for the last 30+ years) has left us with the duopoly of Intel who's not really innovating and ARM who kind of are, but mostly in mobile.

Obviously, RISC-V also needs software support; gcc supports it, Golang has added RISC-V as a target (although it's not yet implemented) and there are several projects working on LLVM (e.g. lowRISC and SiFive's port). Having played around with the Fedora-RISCV port under QEMU, it's actually surprisingly good thus far.

Having an open-source processor design with good software support that anyone can manufacture without royalties is a good thing and will hopefully spur both Intel and ARM into innovation.

Removal of "percentage of revenue" based royalties is probably the big one. Others may cite the open source ISA, but I think royalties is the big deal. See Western Digital's plans for RISCV. Taking a 1.5 to 2 percent "off the top revenue/not-profit skim" away is a big deal.

Edit: Fwiw, I hope the open source ISA has secondary societal benefits. I'm not skeptical, just pragmatic. Follow the money.
Yes, they can sue – anyone can sue for anything, after all.

> but spending 5 hours a week at the gym isn't a big time investment.

That's a sizeable investment when you have kids. Which is fine -- but you definitely have to stop doing something else in order to do it. If like me (and perhaps parent comment) you _already_ don't passively consume media, go to bed early, etc, you really do have to trade something for it. And (again, perhaps like OP) if you are already healthy and fit (ex: I can play soccer for 2 hours) there's even less benefit (relative to your other pursuits). Which is all actually to say -- there are many people for whom discipline is certainly _not_ the issue.

I'd note that the relevant definition of publish isn't the common-sense use (i.e. make available publicly), but merely "the communication of the defamatory matter to a third person" [0]. Indeed the first link in my prior post specifically calls out defamation via private methods of communication (texting) as something that may be actionable.

It's maybe not practical, but it is not impossible. You can build a four-component system that does the job. You build two computers with different ISAs from vendors you assume to not share a backdoor, and let all I/O happen through a simple verifier, that copies the input for both machines, compares byte for byte their output. For cryptographic purposes, the random number generators of the machines must be linked, which would be our forth component. The software for each computer should be derived from different sources, which must follow the same I/O specification.

Romantic relationships make lots of totally normal people very unhappy, to the point where perfectly healthy young people kill themselves over romantic rejection or kill partners for whatever reason. Learning how to do romantic relations is painful, and when it's not painful for a person, they usually experience the pain later when they get old or fall in with a terrible partner.

So, your example of the happiness / awareness tradeoff really applies to everyone. It probably applies to ancient myths like Adam+Eve, Prometheus etc. too. From history it is clear that seeking awareness at the risk of existential discomfort is something that people do.

Latin America absolutely would. Yes, there were crimes that we shouldn't forget, but the whole hemisphere is vastly wealthier than it was a century ago, owing almost exclusively to global peace, world trade, and their existence within the US sphere of influence that limited conflict to just a few hot spots.

The middle east didn't see the same benefit, and why? Because they sat in the middle of a cold war zone of contention that stoked every existing bit of strife into a hot war.
I think the thing that's hard about European heatwaves is the relative lack of air conditioning. In the US, it's been my experience that far more houses have an aircon than is typical in Europe.

Federation models provide a sane alternative and have proven scalable/maintainable in the long run (see email/xmpp).

"You are ostracised and isolated. You muddle through, teaching on fixed-term, part-time, zero-hours contracts, a low-paid disposable commodity, writing papers, chapters and articles in what little spare time you have, and believing what you’ve been told, that success is based on merit, that talent is the most important thing, and that if you work hard and hang in there you’ll get there in the end."

I know exactly how the system works in academia. Try being anything other than a Bolshevik and you quickly find out that the machine will identify you and terminate you via a subtle, imprecise but very effective means of shunning, avoidance, and other forms of covert hostility until you give up and go away. It is the same in the corporate world as well, just not fully activated there yet.

Screw the small-minded people doing this. No matter your academic qualifications, what does it say about you as a human being if you can't understand and accept that other people have different ideas and different opinions and that they can't just be ignored or swept away just because you hold onto a bunch of foregone conclusions that you simply accept as right? That's never been right, not ever.

Universities are supposed to be a marketplace of ideas but instead are conformity factories. I have this to say: That is an echo chamber and although people feel secure inside there and smug about it, all such echo chambers eventually end.

C# doesn't claim to have powerful type inference a la. Haskell, so there's no reason to expect it to extract type information from usage of parameters inside generic functions. If you need functionality inside the body, you gotta declare that functionality in the type constraints.

The university would have obligations under the Equality Act 2010 - it's possible the Aspergers could be considered a disability.

The university wouldn't have an obligation to bring disciplinary proceedings against someone deemed "unpleasant" before calling them such - they would be required to follow their own internal process for raising a disciplinary case.

It sounds like the threshold for a disciplinary case wasn't met in this case. In any event, these sorts of remarks are a grey area and any action to take depends entirely on the specific content of the communications. It's not nice to be called "unpleasant", but it's probably not libellous.

I've read this 3 times and I don't know what your argument is. Surely, you can't be arguing that people should use email in preference to Wire because "Wire uses metadata but only requires an e-mail account", since Wire has strictly less metadata than e-mail, even encrypted email, and leaks far less of it than encrypted e-mail does to plaintext.

People have visceral reactions to particular secure messengers. I really don't care. Use whichever one. Just don't pretend email is secure. I don't like Wire, but I'll recommend it if it means people will stop pretending that PGP is protecting them.

In my experience this is rare, but I suppose it depends what you mean by "Migration blows up in prod". Do you mean the ALTER TABLE is interrupted (query killed, or server shutdown unexpectedly)? Or do you mean you're bundling multiple schema changes together, and one of them failed, which is causing issues due to lack of ability to do multiple DDL in a single transaction?

The former case is infrequent in real life. Users with smaller tables don't encounter it, because DDL is fast with small tables. Meanwhile users with larger tables tend to use online schema change tools (e.g. Percona's pt-osc, GitHub's gh-ost, Facebook's fb-osc). These tools can be interrupted without harming the original table.

Additionally, DDL in MySQL 8.0 is now atomic. No risk of partial application if the server is shut down in the middle of a schema change.

The latter case (multiple schema changes bundled together) tends to be problematic only if you're using foreign keys, or if your application is immediately using new columns without a separate code push occurring. It's avoidable with operational practice. I do see your point regarding it being painful on smaller projects though.
