The negatives are real but they are outweighed by overwhelming positives. In my experience, there was a new level of satisfaction achieved after becoming a father that made it worth every sacrifice.
Isn't that the case with pretty much any Slack bot though?

Anyway, that won't happen. At some point the effects of climate change will be so evident that everyone will scream for action. And at that point it will be too late to do anything meaningful.
I agree, but there are some great exceptions. Le Corbusier’s Villa Savoye still looks sharper and more modern than many new builds and it’s approaching 90.

That error you're seeing could be because you have multiple @types/react packages in your dependencies. You really should have just one version of each @types/* package installed. If you use yarn you can use `yarn why @types/react` to find out if you have multiple versions installed. To resolve these kids of errors, I usually uninstall all @types/* packages and then install them all at once again. Alternative is to use yarn resolutions (https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/selective-version-resolutio...) to force a specific version of those dependencies.
Use --tuples-only / -t and --no-align / -A. Or -tA for short.

For example:

$ psql dbname -tAc 'SELECT json_agg(some_table) FROM some_table'

That will produce a valid JSON if you ever need to pipe it to another command. And I'm sure, psql will do the job a lot faster than node.

By the way, you should not underestimate the built-in psql power and postgresql's json capability. Postgresql's JSON power rivals that of other JSON based No-SQL databases.
This sounds sketchy. Either the rest of the industry is incredibly incompetent or they are deliberately omitting a huge drawback of this solution. And I don't see lack of expandability as a drawback, just buy a bit more RAM to start with.

Then there are NVIDIA GPUs and Intel Phi (i.e. Knightslanding)... So they are trying to sell us that neither AMD, NVIDIA or Intel have though of this "ingenious" decision to increase the efficiency obtained by co-locating CPU and memory? The fact that they deliberately avoid addressing this elephant in the room makes me super skeptical.
I've been using YouTube since it came out and today was the first time I've heard you could send messages.

I'm guessing it is an under-used feature and causing more harm overall than good. I'm assuming they expect folks to communicate on video comments if they want to talk about the video in question.
Don't mistake a lack of empowerment with hypocrisy. When someone advocates for policy to limit the emissions of vehicles produced by the automotive industry, but happens to drive their car to work everyday, that's not hypocrisy. That's a person who is coping with the system around them, still advocating to change that system in the only way that is meaningful. Systemic changes require large actions. To pretend that individual actions alone will get us out of this death spiral is at best naive.

A fascinating tool for comparing countries is Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory, which looks at power distance, individualism vs. collectivism, uncertainty avoidance, masculinity vs. femininity, long-term orientation, and indulgence vs. restraint.

I computed the cosine similarity between Japan, SK, and the USA to get:

Japan-SK: 0.933

USA-Jap: 0.8315

USA-SK: 0.670

So it does appear that Japan is more similar to the US than South Korea using this metric.

> ...The whole ecosystem is just incredibly well developed...

The current, or at least historical ecosystem might have been/is silicon valley...But, I'm curious what will happen in the future, when the ecosystem could be more easily replicated elsewhere globally. With regards to digital innovation - assuming products are less about physical goods, and more about digital services - I wonder when budding entrepreneurs will more often be able to generate startups elsewhere because enough of an ecosystem exists elsewhere in other regions/countries that ALSO have great well-being-related environments? I mean, if i were starting a company today, and i wanted customers that could afford to pay higher fees, maybe I wouldn't focus on the U.S. because more and more citizens have less disposal income? (After all, more and more U.S. folks are just trying to keep their heads above water, etc.) Maybe i would launch my startup in another region of the world because those customers are somewhat already comfortable in their lives - due to their nation's social safety net operating model - and would be more willing to part with their money to pay for my startup's higher fees (i.e. signing up for my imaginary startup's higher-margin price plans as opposed to the cheapo plans which have slim margins)?? In response, I suppose U.S. enterprises and especially those in U.S. public office, could try nudging the ecosystem to make U.S. more competitive...but that - i feel - just brings us to either companies working U.S. workers harder (because THAT is what they feel will save the day), or public office folks trying to "bring back" the silicon valley of the good ol' days...instead of - oh i don't know - innovating at the social operating model level. It's an interesting thought experiment. But, to rest on the laurels that silicon valley WAS an important ecosystem, and assuming (or hoping?) that it will continue to be the center of the innovation universe - to me - feels like its full of folly.

I would do this in a heartbeat. Life is too short to believe that we seriously need to spend 5/7 days working for our entire adult life, no matter the type of labor or how much you enjoy it. If you can live comfortably with 20% less income, do it. Money ain't everything.
Encouraging the people concerned with the long term future to not have children is basically an amazing plan a super-villain could come with to ensure there will significantly less opposition to climate change in the next generation. Well done.
If so, then where can her career go from here?

Go completely CCP authoritarian will kill any trust of her by HK citizens, and could she advance anywhere in the mainland party?

Go to the HK side may regain trust but kill all CCP future.

Neither, the current state, will ensure that nobody is happy.

Seems like no possible exit plan? Could CCP push her hard enough that she must exit by taking her own life? If so, would that be a sufficient potential embarrassment for CCP to prevent them from doing so?

I like this. Here is a one-liner I wrote recently that calculates the 10th Fibonacci number:

> How is showing advertisements for your product not advertising?

Quoting my own post, which you either didn't read or didn't understand: when people say that preventing tracking will kill advertising, they mean that it'll kill personalized advertising.

> You don't need to sniff my metaphorical underwear to serve me advertisement

Without personalization, ads aren't profitable enough to fund free-to-use web services.

> definition of advertisement

Nobody is talking about the definition of advertisement.
I just hope the last warning will be shocking and soon enough to combat the problem. Of course, if it hasn't happened already.
Don't get me wrong, I would also love to have the option between a free and a paid model, but that's beside the point, which is that there will always be some people who can't afford the paid one, and for them, access to these tools far outweighs whatever privacy implication there is.

Furthermore, we all enjoy our accurate and free traffic predictions every day, but you do realize that it wouldn't be possible without user data, right?

It pains me to admit it, but you are correct. I was on my phone and misread the page.

Still, the life span of these cards could be managed for political gain. Perhaps if the majority part in the state house changes, the valid lifetime for only the ID cards could be shortened.
That’s correct, but science also won’t solve this.

This is a political/social issue that has to be approached this way. The science should inform our decisions but in order to reach that goal one might have to do more than insist that the science is correct and doesn’t care about your emotions.
Hehe yes the Haskell community certainly suffers from the dynamics you just described.

I guess my problem with TS ADTs is just that they're done with the TS primitives whereas they could be true first class citizens. But such a feature may be too hard to swallow for your typical JS developer whose first introduction to types is Typescript.

Btw can you elaborate on that Enum with ADTs? Or did you mean that you use Enums with switch-case? I use it too and find it one of the best bits of TS.
Respectfully, I think it's unfair to say these are straw points. Perhaps there is some hyperbole in suggesting you need to use every new framework. You really do not. But as devs we are highly encouraged to stay abreast of these sorts of shifts. The industry is always in motion, and modern JS can be particularly brutal. In fact, ECMAScript itself recently moved to a much more rapid release cycle.

The market, if not your particular company, requires that you know the latest iterations/tooling of your chosen framework. Even if you're not forced to use the very latest versions, just being aware of all of that movement has cognitive overhead. If you choose not to pay much attention, you can quickly fall behind the curve. There is an inherent anxiety to that reality, whether it's legitimate or not.

Multiply the number of different tools in a given stack by the frequency of major updates to each, breaking changes between different tool/plugin versions, and you can start to grasp why people often complain about FE dev. These tropes are repeated for a reason.
Going to try to respond to this in good faith. I know there is some intrinsic bias what with Google being an ad company, but I'll try to ignore that and assume they wish to protect users within Chrome, advertising division be damned.

On point one, regardless of cookie blocking or not, these more aggressive means of tracking users are going to happen. If they (ad programs) can eke out extra data points on users, that's more value that translates into revenue for them so of course they're going to do it. They're saying they're going to do what they can to mitigate fingerprinting, face value, that's great, but it's like anything: a game of cat and mouse where when one opportunity closes, they'll chase another.

Point two is going to be a hard sell. They're asking users to care about advertisers when users have had issues with advertisers before (massive string of redirects to a "congratulations, click here for your free Amazon gift card/Xbox/whatever" page that screws with the tab's history to the point you can't even get back to where you were before requiring closing the tab anyone?). I don't disagree that advertisers are a necessary evil on the Internet (sites want to make money, we're usually not paying them, so forth and so on), but at the same time, some networks are historically bad for user experience: not in a "ah man, that banner ad is annoying" way, but in a "it just hijacked the page and now I'm trying to do a bunch of stuff to get back to the content/away from the site" way.
I haven't tried it yet, but Peertube looks like an interesting alternative to Youtube. Mastadon and Matrix are similar exciting projects too. I host a Matrix instance that I and my extended family use to keep in touch, and we can seamlessly interoperate with anyone on any other Matrix instance. A few kinks to work out still (I wish the server software was way less bloated) but overall I think it's a really promising approach.

My instance is completely ad-free, I might add.
Reminds me of the joke about sci-fi intelligent plants - they would have to be a product of intelligent design because of how useless the massive energetic intake to maintain it would be to something sessile.

The some sort of environment is an important distinction - even if smart enough to derive linguistic translation on its own through "first contact" it could suggest we should generate free energy through floating point error exploits and destroy excess heat using the same because that worked perfectly well in its environment and it had no indication that wouldn't be possible in the real world.
The first successful software project I made was an AIM chat bot.

I wanted to receive messages from friends while I was offline (because, remember, you had to dial into the internet and tie up a phone line...). I was amazed by the utility of store-and-forward network architectures, but I was surprised that SMTP was the only high level protocol that seemed to use it. Why couldn't something send me my messages when I came back online? It seemed so simple (I think ICQ even supported it)

So I found some Perl libraries that could talk the AIM protocol (later OSCAR) and started hacking. I was able to beg my way into a free shell account on a Linux box and used it to mock up a client with a chat interface. Say hello, and it would give you the options: send a message to a friend, get a fortune, play a game, etc. If you sent a message to a friend, it would wait until the friend was online and relay the message. It also had pre-recorded responses for how I imagined people would talk to it.

I don't know how, but word got out about the bot, and eventually I had dozens of people playing games and getting fortunes, and occasionally using the message-forwarder. It was amazing to me that people liked using this dinky chat bot that I put together for fun, and it inspired me to get into open source development. I think was 16 at the time.
Good comment but prepare to be downvoted into oblivion.

If it is that much a threat, why aren't we primarily powered by nuclear? Cost can't be a factor because countries are bending over to spend hundreds of billions investing in some version of a green deal.

Spawn time is fairly significant for your typical VMs. An entire class of applications (such as serverless) cannot be used as your usual traditional VM creation takes several minutes while the hybrid container-VM types do it in milliseconds, allowing for near real-time applications.

In this case I'd quibble that it wouldn't need to guarantee a specific algorithm, just a minimal set of properties. If the user can't manually set the seed then they'll be no expectation that it's deterministic or follows any particular algorithm. So the precise implementation can change with versions or even platforms.

Javascript's Math.random and Crypto.getRandomValues works this way.

Relevant snippet from https://www.channel4.com/news/factcheck/factcheck-qa-how-doe...

<<<

Will HS2 be the world’s fastest bullet train?

[...] But HS2 told FactCheck that there are actually no plans to operate at this speed. What’s more, they say this was never the plan. Indeed, the track, control systems and trains being purchased are not physically capable of it.

The confusion has arisen because HS2 says it has allowed enough flexibility to potentially do a major upgrade of the line at some point in the distant future, should the government want to. The curves in the route could theoretically see speeds of up to 400km per hour.

>>>

So my claim taken from wiki is not incorrect but not relevant yet.

Back to your point "I don't think it's beyond the wits of engineers to work out which parts of the track need to be 250mph capable given the acceleration profile of the trains that are likely to use it"

Good point! However while the engineering of the tracks can vary the trains have to be made to run at that spec speed even if it was for 1 yard. On t'other hand, judging by the jaw-dropping price of the tracks (£104.8m per kilometre, source is same as above) perhaps the trains are the cheap bit.

OK, you are right.
In the past, there definitely was such norm. The "job hopping" was seen as negative.

Even today, I software development and especially sillicon valley is a bit of outlier - people in our industry change more often then in other industries.
Right, but they're very relevant to the process of convincing people to accept those results, which is potentially a big part of the solution.

“New Theory of the Universe,” a headline in the London Times crowed. “Newtonian Ideas Overthrown.” For a introductory but fascinating treatment of why this is wrong you should read Asimov's The Relativity of Wrong (https://chem.tufts.edu/AnswersInScience/RelativityofWrong.ht...) In fact, this should be required reading for science journalists, which, by the looks of the current writing, is not the case.

Sad to read that the Nobel committee was so influenced by Henri Bergson's baseless objections. As a layman in both physics and philosophy here's my take: Philosophers play a crucial function in all science but especially in physics, which purpots to explain reality in bizarre terms. It's when they go beyond interpreting and assisting to actually predicting is when things go wrong.

For a well-known example of this consider Hegel's "proof" in his dissertation that there cannot be more than seven planets, based on idealistic analysis of gaps between planets (to be fair, in his later work he has said he no longer holds many views expressed in the dissertation).

For a discussion on why Hegel thought so see: http://hegel.net/werkstatt/english/hegel_and_the_planets.htm. For a more in-depth discussion see this article: https://www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/2251262.pdf?seq=1#page_scan...

Note that the article fails to mention that rising antisemitism in continental Europe just when evidence for relativity started to come in also played an important role (https://hsm.stackexchange.com/questions/6106/why-didnt-einst...), this would have been an interesting point, given the discussions being held in the US today.
