Forgive me for asking if you are uncomfortable saying, but were they correct about your drug use?

I'm coming very close to being 100% eligible for my security clearness but some of those questions would be tricky for me right now.

I've often wondered if I could round 8 years up to 10 to pass a polygraph.
I see where you're coming from, and I think there's an interesting question here -- is the immediate regret a conscious, rational determination? Or is it a primal self-preservation instinct?

While video games and paper money can remove threat of consequences, VR is still extremely good at triggering ancient, subconscious brain pathways e.g. fear of heights. If regret from suicide is similar to fearing heights, then perhaps it would actually be useful?

That's part of the charm. You can probably pull this thing by hand, no special hardware required. That means, with enough fuel, it can take to the skies from almost anywhere on the globe, as opposed to fighter jets that generally require modern infrastructure to be combat ready.
More mass plain & simple. They are the same height & length, but a tiger is built while a lion is lithe, if you will.
From the bit of time I did consulting or having to take over the previous consultant work, it's amazing how many companies just don't bother to save the source code, let alone a build script or a start script. They couldn't care less about the software that was produced, they're buying butts in seats.
I think you are talking about the Necunos device. The pinephone is ... a phone. See https://www.pine64.org/pinephone/ where they list the modem being a "Quectel EG-25G with worldwide bands".
It isn't contained to single cities. I don't know of a single family I grew up with where at least one if not all of the kids no longer live in the city they grew up in. Same goes for extended families. My cousins are scattered across the country as are my husband’s. I’m around and so are my aunts and uncles, so my parents aren’t lonely, but I think this is more the exception than the rule. I don’t think this can be boiled down to a city transportation problem. There is a larger erosion of community stability that needs to be addressed across the board.
arc.arc, core of the Arc language. Lots of lessons in there on how to write good Lisp code. I’d say the same thing about the core.clj of Clojure.
I don't want to do math with flawed data. Every minute of uploaded content is not going to face copyright strikes, and does not need to be reviewed.
Agreed, sounds like trying to convince that imperative code is an easy reading. But OK, for some people it may be.

> So I need to have written a book to be able to download a PDF and see 85/100 pages are blank? I work as a data engineer and can tell you 50% of these chapter topics are not directly related to data engineering.

Also data engineering focused, agreed completely.
Moissanite is also synthetic (typically grown via a chemical vapor deposition process). It's not carbon (like diamonds), but made of SiC, a material long used for abrasives and more recently for high-power electronics and LEDs. The 4H-SiC polymorph is actually extraordinarily rare in nature, even moreso than diamonds!

We chose moissanites as the primary stones in my wife's engagement rings and everyone talks about how pretty it is. It's a bit more "firey" or "sparkly" than a regular diamond (because of more birefringence), but I guarantee no one outside a very highly trained jeweler would know the difference (if that's important to you). It's worth it to spend the money on the higher quality ones though, since just like diamonds, the inexpensive ones will have yellowish or greenish tints. Even still, they're at least an order of magnitude cheaper than similar diamonds ($600 vs. $6,500 at my quick search for ~1 carat).
I was asking for the nature of the file, not the setup.
You're right that they lie all the time and we can't really trust them, but this has been a multi year effort started many many years ago. Also I dont think that they are gonna gain anything electorally from lying about this!

Zoning laws are absurd, but if anyone thinks getting the Feds even more involved is going to make it better, just ask yourself if it would be a good thing to give congress even more stuff to fight about and be ineffective at handling.
They should just get rid of bestseller lists. They exist purely for marketing and for tricking chumps into buying mediocre books.
The problem with owning a home in the United States, and it's relation to restrictive zoning, is that it's such a valuable asset. I'd wager the true price of home ownership is not reflected in property taxes, assessments, or retail price.

In many areas the access to a school district and the expected lifetime earnings of a child who attends that district is worth more than the median home in the district.

Ownership allows access to powerful neighborhood associations to wield and maintain the status quo.

I commend recent efforts by local and state legislators to eliminate single family zoning, however we have a long way to go to decouple public education and home ownership. It's not simply about funding either -- many urban school districts have great funding per student but still lack in comparison to the suburbs in terms of class size, arguably the most important metric when considering schools.

People who don't like the idea of capitalism in general tend to not be huge fans of Lambda School.

But we only get paid $30k in the case where you get a software engineering job after Lambda School that pays $85k+. Everyone else pays less, and absolutely no one pays more than $30k.

Our upfront tuition for the nine-month, full-time course is $20k if paid upfront.
What about if you keep it secret you get $1000
Kudos to the Post for attempting to produce an objective list. The New York Times doesn't:

> In other words, The New York Times best-seller list is not a best-seller list -- which even The New York Times once acknowledged. In the early 1980s, William Peter Blatty, author of the monumental best-seller "The Exorcist," sued The New York Times for only listing his novel on the list one time, even though it sold in the millions. In defending itself before the court, as reported by Book History, the annual journal of The Society for the History of Authorship, Reading and Publishing (Penn State University Press), The Times said, "The list did not purport to be an objective compilation of information but instead was an editorial product."

Technically, nobody can know for sure, even someone who was there cannot read minds. But I posit that it’s way more likely that it’s part of the standard intimidation technique used by basically every professional intimidator ever – i.e. pretend to be angry and convinced about the person’s guilt in order to get them to either confess or to break down.

Building something functionally equivalent to a Global Hawk doesn't seem like a huge technological stretch, or a surprise, considering the global hawk first flew in I think 2001 or 2002.

Eventually all jet turbine powered HALE (high altitude, long endurance) fixed wing platforms tend to converge on a similar type of design.
Not exactly the same as you, I think the monastery life sounds pretty miserable, but I think the underlying sentiment is for sure there. I never had feelings like this until doctors ruined my health, costing me everything else. I liked my career for the most part and was fortunate in that. I had a decent personal life and enjoyed my time and hobbies and chosen relationships. It was losing my quality of life and being abandoned once that made me non-productive that killed me. Being expected to do more with less when even people in a normal situation have struggles.

I have a clear before/after mindset due to my circumstances. I have great empathy for people who have felt this way their entire life and known nothing else. I don't know if that's easier or harder overall but its equally as miserable in the present moment. As long as our right to live, get healthcare, basic human things, is tied entirely to our ability to earn within a system that is dependent on competing with others and continually "winning", lots of people are going to get left behind. And for many that's fine and those people "deserve" it.

we also settled on the number, and the implementation of, privacy switches on the phone – there will be 4 switches in total: for the i) BT/Wifi module, ii) the modem, iii) cameras (front/back) and iv) lastly for the microphone.

and right on the pinephone page it says it has this chip:

● Feature refinements: supports DFOTA*, eCall and DTMF*
● MIMO technology meets demands for data rate and link reliability in modem wireless communication systems

Sounds like a cell radio to me.
It is, because its designers created a language in 21st century while ignoring what has been done since 1976.

The generics proposal hints that the design is reminiscent from Ada generics. Well its first standard was released in 1983.
It's ironic that this piece ended up running on the same day as this other article in the same paper, which quotes a bunch of residents complaining about the construction of apartment towers on Manhattan's Upper East Side: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/29/nyregion/yorkville-tall-b...
But then you're using the beta channel instead of the stable channel. It's great that you're fine with that, but everyone shouldn't have to.

At the absolute least, Mozilla should make Unbranded auto-update.
At FANG companies, as an example, the scale is so great that they don't differentiate types of Software Engineers as everyone has to deal with massive scale. But at most companies in the industry architecting and scaling requirements are very modest even on the backend so they simply do not hit the scaling cliffs that Data Engineers are specialized in solving. Subsequently, Engineers working there do not gain the experience or knowledge to deal with that scale. Additionally, it's not that "data" is different, it's entirely conditional on the nature of the data in question and what a company needs to do with it.

Edit: Added clarification.
When I become lucky to propose to someone, I am not going to go down the route of a diamond that everyone else has. Something more precious like Morganite or Alexandrite (unless they can be lab grown too?)

I don't completely agree. As Camus once said: "hell is other people". As prosperity increased people fled each others company thinking that being in isolation would rid them of social anxiety. There was little consideration for the results, which is profound loneliness.
> An actual incompatibility, like I said, would be giving an existing phrase a new meaning. E.g. if they had referred to total preorders as partial orders, that would be an incompatibility.

This is what they're doing!! They're calling pre-orders "weak total orders". That's a direct incompatibility... "weak total order" already means "total order", just like "total weak order" already means "total pre-order" which already means "total order". "Weak" and "total" are both adjectives, and they're interchangeable. If you asked anyone (who unlike you had already heard of the term "weak order" before) that's exactly how they would interpret it. Nothing in it would be left open for interpretation since everything is defined.

Whereas in your solution example, unlike here, the phrase "weak solution" didn't already mean something else, and there was no existing term for the concept either. And unlike in "ring without associativity", they use the word "total" in "weak total order" to mean nothing. They could've taken it out and "weak order" would've meant exactly what they meant.

If you want to make a comparison, what they're doing would be like using "a nonnegative positive solution" to mean "a nonnegative solution" (rather than "a positive nonnegative solution"). Or using "an fractional real number" to mean "a fractional complex number" rather than a "real fractional number" (i.e. real fraction). Which would be completely nuts.
Currently at the tail end of watching my dad (now 87) go through this whole cycle, exactly as you described. I would encourage everyone to read what you just wrote and think really hard about where you fit into this narrative, and how you might step out of it.
>Our concept of housing as an investment can't coexist with a concept of housing as a commodity that should be affordable to the majority of the population.

That doesn't have to be true. The old story is that existing areas go from rural to middle to urban, rising in price. Everyone keeps moving further out, so there are always new houses. This story depends on constant urbanization and population growth in all wealth levels. "All wealth levels" is the important part, there has to be a year-by-year increase in the number of rich people so that the acres of expensive land bought by rich people can also increase. This will fail if population growth or social mobility fails, and from what I've heard both are in the process of shutting down.
It tells you the intent. The actual code does exactly that, because the intent matches the code, but sometimes the two aren't aligned and therefore the "redundant" comment can help you determine if the bug is the code or the intent.

Understanding the "Why?" of code is often the most valuable thing about comments. The code remains forever, but the "Why?" is often lost to time.
Those middle class people are privileged, for now: The third party doesn't stop them getting their food and shelter.

The unbanked, on the other hand, will be at greater risk of starvation when you need a bank account to obtain food.

Everyone can get a basic bank account, you say?

Well, it's the law in the UK already that some people are not allowed a bank account (you need to prove your right to a bank account in the UK, along with your right to rent shelter).

They are still people, and they will still starve in a cashless economy.

I know this, because I already know people who are getting by on half a meal a day, and that's today.
I looked at the page, it is interesting, but I have never heard anything about this. They page didn't also say anything about who they were/what they do?

Do you have anywhere with more information about this/the folks behind it?
The Solution: Superdeterminism
I hope so. Some people talk about singularity, others speculates about a great collapse. Maybe thes two just are different names of the one thing? Two sides of the same coin?

Because it's not about society; it's about the body (and mind) failing.
Aside of your cookie extension, the other 3 could probably have been done with userscripts. I often find a missing feature in a website that I add with userscripts. There's also user created userscripts for several websites, like a webcomic reader that preloads pages from several webcomic websites so you don't have to wait on the slow ones.
You seem to be saying that some 91% of GULAG prisoners survived their imprisonment, with some 67000 deaths per year on average; while GULAG population varied greatly during this time, if we assume an average of 1 million prisoners, we will not be far wrong. (The peak was officially 2.7 million, near the end of that period, slightly more than the current US incarcerated population.) This works out to a death rate of some 6700 deaths per 100'000 people per year, very roughly; this is clearly worse than the US prison system's mortality rate of 264 deaths per 100'000 people per year, by a factor of 20 or 30. (This figure does not include people who died as a result of their detention, but it seems safe to say that the number would be lower even if they were included.)

But many, perhaps most, of those deaths were during the German invasion, which killed about 25 million of the 169 million subjects of the USSR (most of them not in GULAG). It remains to be seen how well the US cares for the populations of its prisons and concentration camps if it suffers an invasion that kills an eighth of its population. Hopefully such an event will remain safely in the realm of speculation.
It sounds like you're describing a Readme file -- which by convention can exist as documentation for any folder and not just the project root. It's not adopted by all codebases but is becoming more common as source browsers like Github will render the readme as rich text when navigating to the folder.
I don't agree with the author. He pays lip service to security being important, but then proceeds to ignore the threat because he thinks extensions are great. I think people should be more hesitant to install a browser extension than just about any other piece of software.

The threat is absolutely real. Bad actors regularly offer large paydays to lone developers with popular extensions so they can roll out an update that quietly adds a backdoor.

There's at least some publicly documented evidence that Raymond Hill (uBlock Origin) isn't likely to cave to this sort of pressure, but do you really believe that none of the other authors of your fifteen favorite extensions would look the other way for $100k?

Keep in mind that these offers don't look like "Here's some money, please let us roll out an evil update to your extension." They look like "Our company has a product with a similar name. We love your extension and would like to offer to acquire it from you so that we can use the name. We'll even let you keep the rights to your software so that you can re-release it under a different name if you'd like!" They'll make it really easy for the developer to remain in denial about what they're actually facilitating.
Sure it does. I'm hypothetically designing a filter that checks for objectionable content on my site. You find any use of skeletons objectionable. I don't, if they're cartoon skeletons. My filter will not prevent cartoon skeletons from being posted, but will post real skeletons.

Bias has been introduced.

The fact that "both sides" are affected doesn't mean there's no bias, it means there's > no bias. It's literally impossible to censor something without SOME bias, because somewhere, someone doesn't find the thing you censor objectionable.
These articles... lemme try one.

Thanks for sharing. I am in NW Montana and saw the sun like this for the first time a few days ago, I'm not from here.

We have had an unseasonably wet summer thus far, which I understand from the ecologists around me here means there will be more dry brush when the dry season is fully in force, and the fires will likely become more pronounced than usual.

It's absolutely terrifying to know that this is going on, just across the pond. There are usually a lot more fires here, we've been lucky so far this year. (I myself am from Western NY, where we say "we'll gladly take the snow, if it means there are no wildfires, earthquakes, hurricanes, ...")
Thanks for the reply!

It being a Lisp is a positive point for me.

I'm not a fan of dynamically typed languages, but I'll have a look through spec. From a cursory look, Clojurescript can use Spec as well.
I didn't downvote you, but that's not a solution. I am not religious and not interested in that culture. It's a very middle American idea that church replaces family and social support and its some haven to reach out to...it doesn't really work like that except in the brochure.
So basically nothing like asbestos at all?
If conditions are good, the tigers will presumably increase in number to fill any additional forest area available to them, as well. So I expect the best-case scenario is to provide enough reserved land for the tiger population to be at a safe size, and maintain that population by culling if needed.
Muscle density does not really change from one animal to another, so more likely just the amount of muscle if the premise is true.

And I am not sure that it is obvious that they have the same level of fat.
The real danger here is closure.

Adobe has always made it a priority to be able to export your entire document in IDML. There's nothing hidden or proprietary in there--just all of the InDesign document content and settings.

In fact, it's standard operating procedures to "cleanse" an .indd file by exporting to IDML and re-importing.

It's up to you to implement something on the receiving end, but there's no lack of openness on Adobe's part.
