I don’t know why you’d assume that. Looks at the education costs over the 25 years to become a social worker—-which has never been a lucrative profession.

Even if we manage to crack the nut of the law cartel, the educational cartel is of a different order. I expect no progress there, or in medicine, in my lifetime.

It sounds more like you finding a place to meet people (university) was what freed you from social isolation more than its actual location on earth. Had you not been homeschooled, it is likely you would have found the same outlet in the schools that were local to your childhood home.

I have lived in big cities, but currently reside in a rural area. I have never felt less socially isolated than I do now. They say it takes at least 40 hours of time spent together to make a friend. That makes school the ultimate place to make friends as you're pretty much forced to be around the same people for >40 hours. However, as an adult no longer in school, I have found that the smaller community increases the chances of seeing the same people each day, which prolongs the time spent together, and increases the chances of becoming friends.

In the big city, more often than not I'd meet people one day and then never see them again. That is isolating.

There's a lot wrong with this comment, but:

> Children who see strangers walking down the street at night[...]

really stands out. I live in a busy neighbourhood, and there are lots of people on foot at all times of day. Yet I somehow doubt it's doing anything to my attitude to education.

Just two nights ago, I actually started to talk to a group when they asked for directions, and two of them had physics PhDs. What a hellhole.
Boy scouts would be a good example.
they do but people resort to hyperbole all the time to justify their hatred of touch screen interfaces or just interfaces they do not like.

there are bad touch screen systems and there are good ones. just as there are badly laid out physical controls and good ones.

even muscle memory works with touch screens, to say otherwise is just a lie. however the biggest oversight people tend to ignore is, how little they actually interact with controls of their car other than the turn signals and such. Most modern cars have full climate controls which does include humidity and such, many have automatic lights and wipers, and some go as far as doing the driving.

nineteen to twenty four buttons on steering wheel is just fine and intuitive to some just like the same number on a center console yet these same people will complain about the simplicity of a properly design touch UI and fewer physical buttons as being too complex.
You want to easily be able to update dependencies (and retest with them, of course) to ensure you’re getting security updates, for one.
I agree you need a seat at the table, and historically mass protests have been a way to get that seat. It only happens when the movement is reflective of a group willing to change their behaviour though - strikes, boycotts, etc. Criticism without a clear alternative or consequence isn't going to do much.
But Henry is made by Numatic, not Hoover.

I don't think its hyperbolic. If so many people are complaining then we have a issue. I have tried to learn Python but every time I did, some things kept turning me off.

- First indentation was a issue for me but I looked past it and went ahead to give another go at Python.

- Even the best in class IDE suffer to give any kind of insight into python code.

- Two versions: At my workplace we use Python 2. I prefer to learn newer version but don't have choice. When Python 3 came out they should have initiated deprecation of Python 2 but that does not seem to be the case. Tonnes of libraries are still in Python 2. They should have maintain language backward compatible instead of fragmenting the entire community.

- So many ways to do a thing. This is subjective but I need a language which gives predictable performance for given piece of code. Go does this. There's usually one way of doing things and only one way. No need to know nooks and crannies of the language nor there is such a thing in Go
I wonder what the consequences of this are given Python's apparently very poor energy consumption profile: https://thenewstack.io/which-programming-languages-use-the-l...

It appears to consume over 17x more power than JavaScript, 40x more power than Java or 75x more than C/Rust. The only language which performed worse than it in terms of pure power consumption was Perl.

While I'm sure these results aren't exactly indicative of day-to-day usage as they're based off of benchmarks which are not exactly representative of day to day use cases it nevertheless raises the question of whether Python is an appropriate choice of language where the application itself is likely to see a high level of total use. I suspect the answer is "more work needs to be done" on the subject to truly assess the impact and a big part of the answer is "depends on how you're using it". It'd be good to see some standardised tests of web frameworks. For instance, load testing a standardised server side version of the TodoMVC project to determine what happens for each framework there, along with what happens when you stick a cache in front of them and so on.

It'd also be interesting to attempt to estimate how much power consumption and hence CO2 generation each given programming language is responsible for given their marketshare and typical usage profiles - although I suspect in practice this would be quite difficult given the diverse usage profiles of modern programming languages. And obviously the fact that machine learning libraries, for instance, will naturally be quite energy intensive - it's probably the case that Python actually does quite well there because most of its popular libraries for that are just wrapping C or similar rather than being pure Python code.

Given the success of V8 and PHP7 in terms of boosting the performance and presumably energy efficiency profile of their respective languages it'd be nice to see the mainline CPython interpreter undertaking a similar kind of transformation. Obviously we have things like PyPy but it seems to me the Python community needs to be united around a solution to this which forks simply are not going to be able to drive.

This "debunking" oversimplifies the situation by only looking at individual charged particles.

In reality, after this thing has been running for a bit, you'll have a cloud of free electrons ahead of the craft and a cloud of protons behind the craft. As protons ahead of the craft are decelerated by the leading positive plate, they will eventually slow to a low enough energy to combine with the free electrons, becoming neutral hydrogen. Only when they get inside the capacitor field will the voltage differential be great enough to re-ionize the hydrogen, at which point the electron will be shot forward to replenish the free electron cloud, while the proton will be accelerated out the back. Analogously, free electrons approaching from the rear will lose enough energy to recombine with the trailing protons, again becoming neutral hydrogen which no longer contributes to drag.

It's really no different than if you had a purely mechanical funnel scooping up neutral hydrogen and using that as fuel for a conventional ion-engine.

I see this as another tool to use to get 'ideal' motion. Sure, build your robot out of better parts, but then use this software to continue to prevent oscillation, even in your 'better-designed' hardware.
I was confused as well. I thought it was the official Rust documentation until I read your comment.
Lucky! I wrote a small internal app in node for my company that relied on an IMAP library. 3 months after launch, someone upgraded the library and my app stopped working. Stack traces were incomprehensible. No “how to upgrade” documentation in sight.

So I spent 2 hours and rewrote it in Java 8 with Maven.

Issues all gone. Node has some work to do before I’ll consider touching it again.

Deliveroo Stopping Operations in Germany
So I got this email today and found no info in any news site about it:

Hi NAME

I am writing to inform you that, regrettably, from August 16 we will no longer be delivering in Germany. This was not an easy decision and one we have not taken lightly.

At Deliveroo we’re on a mission to create the very best food delivery service in the world, and at the heart of this is offering a service that works brilliantly for our customers, riders and restaurants. Where we cannot do this to the level that we expect and you deserve, we won’t operate. Therefore, Deliveroo’s focus will now be on growing our operations in other markets around the world.

Thank you for ordering with Deliveroo - we have enjoyed being able to bring you amazing food from some of the many brilliant restaurants in Germany.

The service will be available as normal up until August 16.

If you have credit on your Deliveroo account we’ll refund this amount to your bank account on August 19. Depending on your bank, this will take 5 - 10 business days to reach your account.

We want to thank you again for using Deliveroo, and we hope to see you again soon.

The Deliveroo Team

Why are traditional BI/ analytics tool not apt for geospatial data?
From the article and video I got the impression that the goal was to give animators control over the robot's motion, while maintaining stability. The animators will not have a good model of the physical robot in their head, and that is what this model is correcting.
Very interesting article, although if the message displayed to the end-user really was left at "You are using an unsupported environment variable: SSLKEYLOGFILE..." that would be truly awful UX with some potentially disastrous consequences.

>and also the fact that the majority of cash crop goes to feeding livestock.

Only about 1/3rd of corn grown is fed to livestock. Even less than that for other cash crops.
>I'm straight, I'm white and I just have a job, like most of us. My boss is a woman. Why shouldn't women (and people in general) worry about hurting my feelings just because there are other straight white men with a lot of money and power? That's just dumb.

Which is why no serious feminist (or gender-egalitarian or menslibber or whatever) should excuse women being bitches. But it doesn't change the fact that

>(...) When someone says "Straight white men still hold the majority of political, economic and social power in the world" they are excluding the vast majority of straight white men.

they are still, well,correct. It'd be more precise to say "rich straight white...", but the sentiment is true.

The "main issue" probably isn't singular, but my take is that

a) the dissolution of "soft" power structures (men over women, social view of whites over blacks, straight over LGBTQ+...) will take time to be culturally processed

b)activists need to embrace and push the difference between "problematic" and "bad", and push the idea that "good people" can and should be criticized for bad stuff they do, without immediately crucifying them - and the rest of the world will need to learn and embrace that difference, and also learn how to actually listen to people who might be oppressed, the difference between being publicly criticized and "having their life ruined" (there is much more to this, but this would get too long)

c) hard structures (job expectations, economic incentives) need to be changed to accommodate the (assumed as desired) new social structures. E.g. the "google memo" guy had a very good point which was very positively received in the (german) feminist circles I hung out in online at the time, namely that maybe we need to enforce "work life balance" in the fields where women are underrepresented, because if the job expectation is to forego a family life, that makes it drastically more likely for women to nope out than men.
How Facebook Is Changing to Deal with Scrutiny of Its Power
So what about the problems themselves? The extradition bill? Police brutality? Unjustified arrests? And ultimately, the HK government not answering to the people's demand?
I've always seen it like this: Not everyone builds reproducible software with Python (or in general) and how you handle dependencies can vary. Python leaves it open how you do it: globally installed packages, local packages, or a mix of both.

In the end, it needs to find the import in the PYTHONPATH, so there's no magic involved, and there are multiple robust options to choose from.

So instead of bashing Python for not shoveling down an opinion on you, it's up to the developers to choose which tools they want to use.

If they don't choose one and are unable to freeze their dependencies, it's not a Python problem, but IMO lack of skill and seniority.
A developer using an AOT compiled language can still earn the same salary.
OWS could not effect change because it was not created by the people, it was not grassroots. It was a funded operation of political operatives. hence the same reason why it was not lambasted by both parties.

The Tea Party however was grass roots but it took less than twenty years for the Republican party to co-opt it. Before then both they and the Democrats demonized it. Why? Because it took control from the two parties that run the show.

Now the Democrats have a very nascent uprising of their own that they are desperately trying to smother. hopefully it lasts a bit longer than an election cycle or two.

US politics cannot change until two party rule is not the only outcome and this can only come to fruition by having campaign finance reform that blocks incumbents from the gravy train they have and removing restrictions on those seeking to unseat them. As in, the rules have always been written backwards - they always have been written to maintain the status quo and that is the lie that needs to be ended.
> As you and several others pointed out last year, the energy considerations here are good enough to invalidate the scheme.

The only "energy consideration" in that thread is this, from "ballenarosada":

"The potential is 0 at infinity, positive at the first plate and negative at the second. An incoming ion starts at 0 potential, climbs a big hill to get through the first plate, then falls down below 0. Then on the way out it has to climb back to 0 potential at infinity. So the ions gain energy inside the plates but lose it all back on either side."

In order to believe this to be correct, you must fail to understand that the device is electrically neutral. As you move away from it, the distance between the plates becomes negligible compared to your distance from it, and all you see is a neutral object exerting a negligible attraction on the ion.

This is, of course, the principle behind multipole expansions [1].

"balenarosada" thought he or she could just use the dipole term of the expansion to model the capacitor, maybe misled by the name "dipole drive". In hindsight, maybe Zubrin should have gone with "capacitor drive" to prevent this misunderstanding.

There's no way inside the system because it's the system OWS wanted to change (And Extinction Rebellion wants nowadays).

There's no nonviolent way outside the system because the police are violent if you actually inconvenience the system (which marches don't do but occupations do).

No data as such. But here's the first example in the "batteries included" list library:

let modify_opt a f l =
let rec aux p = function
| [] ->
(match f None with
| None -> raise Exit
| Some v -> rev ((a,v)::p))
| (a',b)::t when a' = a ->
(match f (Some b) with
| None -> rev_append p t
| Some b' -> rev_append ((a,b')::p) t)
| p'::t ->
aux (p'::p) t
in
try aux [] l with Exit -> l

Here, the Exit exception is being raised as an optimisation: if no modification happens, then we return the original list, saving an unnecessary reverse. The try is the only place that the Exit exception is caught, so the jump location is static, much like a break.
The original extradition law weakened the strength of the Common Law system of Hong Kong - which, for many Hong Kongers, had concerns on both their ability to continue to do business with international entities; and the rule of law itself.

The more recent police brutality concerns Hong Kongers because, well, now your home and the subway station you use everyday is gassed. And the government is doing it. It's now beyond just abstract concepts like the rule of law and it's a concern of your personal safety - even if you're not a protestor.

The issue of the Chinese flag / emblem being dirtied / thrown away / etc. during protests may be a concern of many in China... but ignoring the more immediate and practical concerns from everyday HKers is not helpful for anyone. Even from the perspective of the Party, such rhetoric only creates more division and problems down the road.
