Both of the prior posters are correct from my reading. You should also note that the comorbidity between sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus is very high, again strongly suggesting that a subgroup will receive significant benefit if the hearing loss is fixed. In my experience, I would also recommend you seek out an ENT or audiologist that will do high frequency hearing testing (8 KHz to 16 KHz or higher). This is not standard in hearing tests, which max out at 8KHz because that is the functional range of speech and most sounds that affect daily life for humans, but loss of frequencies above that can often be present with tinnitus.
The constitution of Hong Kong known as the "basic law" allows for Beijing's military action. Corresponding mainland Chinese law allows for military action in Hong Kong when things seem unmanageable for the city's government. Defacing state property and paralyzing the airport seem to be Exhibit A and B?

There isn't any framework where this would be seen as illegal or illegitimate.

Even under a foreign power's "national security interests", Hong Kong is pretty much an administrative convenience to asian markets than an outlier, as China knows how to run markets these days and has little qualms about capitalist functions, so it is very unlikely that major market disruptions would happen from even the most extreme scenarios imagined here. As such "rockets on Beijing" let alone any foreign diplomatic recognition of these internal issues would be very counterproductive.

In this case for whats productive, use this analogy: think of it more like a theorist in Ohio wondering if DC is causing a false flag attempt during a period of unrest in a US state or dependent territory. That theorist is never suggesting that a neighboring or powerful country intervene, while still being passionate about the idea that the unrest is being propelled in order to justify state control. Might be true, might not, doesn't matter, but still the only outlet to express discontent than suggesting a third party drop rockets on the capital!

I have the opposite problem: I don't know what anxiety is.

Yea, I was going to say the same thing. Work undone as part of prioritization is not debt. Debt to me is causing more work than it would take otherwise so that less work can be done now (or because the developer / architect just doesn't know any better). Using a switch statement instead of a factory. Using role based auth instead of attribute based. Things like that.

The problem is, the debt metaphor is not being applied correctly. Not doing future work now does not take on responsibility for the future work - so it's not like taking a loan. Doing work in a way that commits the team to extra work that didn't exist before - that's like taking on a loan. For instance, I don't want to do this 80 points of work now, so I'm going to ship the same requirement by doing 40 points of work on a solution that will take another 60 points to get to the original 80 point solution which is the way we know we have to go long term. I just borrowed 20 points on behalf of the team.

Those are tight circumstances, but you sound really well organized, with a good plan.

The inability to get even a $1200 loan when you have a sensible plan, sucks. Since you are LDS, famed for church community... is that something your church, friends or family might help out with?

In my experience, that's an amount friends lend each other if they've known each other a long time and can do it. Sometimes, with the understanding that the payback terms are extremely flexible. Because that isn't at all a hardship amount for everyone, and it sounds like it could make a big difference to your life.

The belief that the universe must have a purpose is a trap. It leads you down a particular line of reasoning that ends with you believing in a creator god (or gods), or that the universe itself is divine. You would likely also reason that you have a purpose in the universe that dictates your actions (adherence to religious dogma or doctrine). All of this is baseless and rationalized without objective evidence. Your only certain "purpose" in life is that which you, yourself make.
That doesn't match my experience at all; people usually realize that there are tons of reasons not to use the repo version. Perhaps you want a newer Python than the crusty old one that comes with 18.04. perhaps you want to test something that doesn't exist in the repos (the horror!). Docker and Elastic both recommend using their repos or building from source rather than using the geriatric versions in the Ubuntu repos.

not the GP, but the greater symbolism of the fruit tree is very interesting.

If you believe the stories, god created everything, including the tree, and the tree is 'behaving' exactly how it was created. For this, god cursed it.

I suppose this is something programmers can really identify with, but I think the greater symbolism is applying the same thing to humans.

When god created adam and eve, he created them with them with curiosity, and it was that curiosity that led them to eat the apple. For that, they were cursed.

IMO, the greater symbolism is just demonstrating the story of Eden all over again.

The video looks consistent with that I've heard reported elsewhere: Protestors are not attacking people, only symbols of the Chinese government.

"The Chinese people do not see risking growth disruption as worth what the west considers freedom. The west has fundamentally failed to make that case to them and even now western democracy is on the decline."

I wouldn't be so quick to chalk this up to some sort of spontaneous decision originating with the Chinese people.

Remember that any sort of political dissent or organization tends to be quickly and effectively quashed in China by the authorities. Leaders and activists are imprisoned, tortured, disappeared, or "reeducated". The media and education systems are tightly controlled to only show and teach what the authorities want, and as a result the rest of the population (minus the "counterrevolutinary" leaders and activists, who've been weeded out) has been manipulated to think the way the authorities want them to think and say things the authorities want them to say, and if they don't there are very real consequences.

That said, as long as mainland China is prosperous and more and more people are lifted out of poverty, it's unlikely to have a real revolution. HK is in a different position, as they were already prosperous and have faced worsening conditions since they've been under the Chinese yoke.

Fair point. To clarify, I think of "coddled genius" as a good-to-have role, not a descriptor of a person. In fact, I think it's even better if multiple people rotate through that role. A permanent division between "people who play" and "people who work" (as I put it at one job) is bad for both groups, and for the product/company. The point I was making was that not everybody should be in that role, but I neglected to point out that it shouldn't be too limited either. Both the percentage of people in that role and the standards to which they are held (different than those in more traditional product-oriented roles) should be intentional, not the result of applying a universal culture or management style more appropriate to an elementary school than to a place of business.
No, the problem is giving names that are too specific to things. Like if you're implementing a merge sort for some reason, and go to write merge:

merge :: Ord a => [a] -> [a] -> [a]
merge (x:xs) (y:ys) | x <= y = x : merge xs (y:ys)
| otherwise = y : merge (x:xs) ys
merge [] xs = xs
merge xs [] = xs

Those are the ideal variable names. Clarity is only hurt by making the names "descriptive" by naming the type variable elementOfListsToMerge or the parameters things like theHeadOfTheFirstList and so on. It's useless precision, like using 100 digits of pi to calculate volume of a... pie. You pay the cost every time you use it, while it adds no additional knowledge.

This is what I mean - there are a lot of cases when writing Haskell code that you write generic polymorphic combinators. Using long variable names is negative utility. Haskell programmers know this, and so they don't use long names when short ones convey identical information in a more readable manner.

This is where most other languages fall down, and why most programmers don't understand the concept. It's common in Haskell to write code that applies to so many different situations that any "descriptive" name you give to a local variable is just plain incorrect in many use cases.

In the other direction though, Haskell programmers also appreciate the value of a well-chosen name when one applies. Note that the function being discussed elsewhere in this thread isn't polymorphic. It has descriptive local variable names. No one suggested renaming them x or a.

In other words, choose names well, not according to dogma that says short is bad.
MT19937 is probably not the best PRNG out there, but the nice thing about it is that, for a long time, there was a pretty strong consensus among programmers that it was the PRNG to use. It’s a better choice than a simple LCG, which is what programmers tend to use if they’re not using MT.

There are a lot of crypto-strong RNGs out there (AES on OFB mode? Counter Mode? SHA-3 in SHAKE128 or SHAKE256? Salsa20 or ChaCha? Or, do what I do and use RadioGatún[32]), so not much standardization on that front.

With non crypto, we have in this thread already mentioned PCG ( http://www.pcg-random.org/ ), JKISS32, xoroshiro, and Vigna’s generators. There are others. Again, not much standardization.

For what it's worth, this only works if the source of hearing loss is conductive (e.g. eardrum or the ossicles).

Well, functionally speaking your range is set by the cells that you have that are alive, which die slowly over time, starting with the higher frequency ones which tend to be more fragile. If you could restore all the cells you had when you were a child you'd have a larger range than you have now. But you couldn't extend the range beyond what you had when you were born AFAIK.

MERIT is probably the best (free) LIDAR-derived global DEM right now: http://hydro.iis.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~yamadai/MERIT_DEM/

Basically fixes the problems with SRTM, but you're still left with 30m resolution.

You can read more about ArcticDEM here: https://www.pgc.umn.edu/data/arcticdem/

Seems like EarthDEM is the same. So all the advantages and disadvantages that come with stereo photogrammetry. Very high resolution, but potential for inaccuracy and quite difficult to check. Probably they used SRTM or something similar to validate their models.

>IceSAT altimetry data points are used to improve the vertical accuracy of both the DEM strips and mosaic files. IceSAT data points are filtered to exclude points in areas of high relief and over hydrographic features. Additional filtering is applied to remove altimetry points collected outside the temporal window of the source imagery acquisition date.

An xyz translation is calculated for each strip and the offset is added to the metadata file. The individual DEM strips are not translated before distribution. Users can apply their own corrections to the strip if they do not agree with the one originally provided.

Where available, additional control information such as LiDAR or surveyed GPS points have been applied.

> Hong Kong was ahead of the rest of China since they have been living pretty liberal under UK rule and were more prosperous.

No. HK people are not enjoying enough middle-class comfort and prosperity.

Precisely, HK's income inequality is even worse than mainland China (0.537 vs. 0.467). And because HK has historically been more liberal, it's a subject of many rich and powerful, especially the demand from mainland people drives the real estate price even further [3].

HK's violent street protest is because there isn't a strong and significant middle class group. Otherwise, we all know for sure that middle class are never politically radical, nor are they willing to sacrifice their livelihood for the so-called freedom.

Yeah, YAML deserialization is the worst case scenario for dynamic typing. In most situations, types are pretty consistent and assuming you run your code at least once, you'll find most errors. But with YAML deserialization all bets are off. YAML is even worse then JSON for this because seemingly minor changes in the YAML can change the shape of the data.

I've had success validating such data against a schema, so I know it had consistent type structure before working with it.
