Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me." I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?"

He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian." I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me, too! What franchise?" He said, "Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?"

He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too!"

Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over.

Break nation in to major groups based on colour, religion, language, jobs, social status. Break each group into families, families into nuclear & nuclear into individuals. Coz, "I'm Unique" is the best catalyst for consumerism. "I did it my way", reminds us so.

Growing population is the best reinforcement out there for consumerism.

BUT, Democratic-Republics & Capitalism are best out there for people in general.

We accept long working hours coz, we're chasing a dream; sadly a dream aptly set by others. But, most likely we're in debt; monetary advances we received to chase our/their dreams.

How secure do you feel LXD containers are, given the defaults? No worse than any bare-metal? No worse than any Qemu/KVM VM?

I do use LXD containers too, but mainly to create a bunch of testing nodes.
It means lossy. I think the actual situation, which the article kind of misstates, is that footage from cinema cameras like RED's is likely to undergo significant grading and postprocessing, which is where compression artifacts are likely to become a problem. Annoyingly, "Raw" as applied to video codecs seems to be a marketing term that means "you can grade it and still probably not notice compression artifacts."
Well, when you create all-in-one tool you have to go deep. Most likely we will drop some parts before the first release, like CMS (it is not fully ready yet).

It's appalling how much many containers (plastic, waxed paper, and multiple-layer) and how much packaging we go through every week. We get some bulk food from the local coop. And in the summer, we buy from farmers' markets.

But there's no practical way to buy milk, ice cream, detergent for dishes and clothes, prescription drugs, etc. So I end up saving containers, thinking that I'll find some use for them. But it's pretty hopeless.

So yes, I'd say that we need regulations.
I had no idea they were doing this stuff to material I've benefited from accessing. Thanks for taking the time to give us the benefit of your research.

Why would English speaking have anything to do with applying for statehood?
It's usually a 0.5% improvement on a micro benchmark.

One of my suspicions is that at the low end where I operate the marginal cost of higher speed is essentially zero. My firmware spends more than 9.99% of the time sleeping. Micro optimizations of a few percent is meaningless. At the other end superscalar processors are a moving target for micro optimizations. And further a lot of tasks look like init -> process data -> clean up. Over time the process data part has gotten very large. Making the init and clean up parts of the code a smaller and smaller percentage of the execution time. Micro optimizations in those parts of the code provide no value. Next is the constant movement to push the data processing into either specialized CPU instructions or GPU's.
You don't want to look at margins by subtracting expenses from revenue. For a growing company, this can be zero or even negative. The key thing is this: Are customers paying top dollars for the space they sell then elsewhere? That answer seems to be yes which means they have better margin than competitors given their brand and amnesties. However, they might decide to reinvest all that money to build assets in other markets which will put their balancesheet in red.
Thank oh for being honest.

Another approach to this is wrapping the query in a `copy to stdout` statement (either in the .sql or with a tiny wrapper), then converting the CSV to JSON.

If you're doing the processing with jq and don't want to install any other tools than that, a jq csv -> json script should be about 10 lines.
>JVM (Java), Parrot (Perl 6 VM) and CLR (C#) shipped easy, multi-language environments over a decade ago. For some definitions of "easy" and "multi-language".

Java tied a whole ecosystem and was a pain to connect to anything outside, Parrot is a perennially incomplete half-arsed experiment, and C# has been historically tied to the MS ecosystem (and is also a pain to link to from outside).

The promise here is that the new system would have cross platform, cross vendor support (e.g. MS, Apple, Google, Mozilla), and that it wont be a pain to link to from, say, C or Rust or Python.

>WASM won't be able to "solve" these issue any better than the JVM, Parrot, or CLR did.

Doesn't need to. It's enough that it solves the same issue linking to a C library with bindings does, but without re-compilation, with a sandbox, and an easier interface.

I'd like to use e.g. something like Pillow or a numeric lib, etc, in WASM from languages outside Python...
I think the point behind the Apple Card is to drive NFC payments adoption in the US. Australia has a near complete penetration of NFC while the US does not.

Only time will tell whether we get the Apple Card, but due to the Australian Reserve Bank’s interchange fee cap, we’ll likely not see the same cash back offer if it ever does land here.

It will be interesting to see other markets’ reception of Apple Card and Apple Pay too.

Evopsych explanations can often be used to argue both sides of any issue. For example, T is implicated in male aggression, which is useful when fending off predators both animal and human, but dangerous when you have a helpless, often extremely irritating Bundle of Evolutionary Fitness around. T is also thought to be involved in mate-seeking behaviour, which one may wish to downregulate for a while after successfully reproducing in order to devote resources to infant survival. Testosterone is also metabolically expensive, and those costs may be paid at the expense of the immune system. It might be advantageous to upregulate immune functions when an immuno-compromised neonate is around.
You and the author could both be correct, but neglect important components of the testosterone fitness package.

If that would be "crazy" then I don't really see why you're so enthusiastic about using the same key for these "different" accounts.

I get how you can make it arguably safe, but it just seems like a needless risk exactly like a single shared account.
> Plus, realistically, users don't care. Not one bit.

I disagree. I develop an audio workstation - https://ossia.io ; the total size is between 50 and 100 megabytes depending on the platforms. It uses Qt and LLVM and is itself around 500kloc so I'm already around the lower limits of what I can do.

My users, & much people on the internet keep comparing it in size to Reaper, another DAW where the binary is around 10 megabytes (https://www.reaper.fm/download.php) - but they wrote their own gui toolkit and language interpreter.
> Women become pregnant before they become mothers. Men become pregnant after they become fathers.

I heard this joke a while ago, and while cruel seems to have an element of truth to it by observation. Lack of sleep, lack of exercise, less time to make healthy meals seems to be a terrible combination for weight gain.

Yes and back when it was introduced with MP3, many people were really mad about it because it made quality much worse. Nowadays encoders are better and with high enough bitrates you can't tell a difference to lossless.
No.

The justice system must exercise extreme caution. The standard for guilt is “beyond a reasonable doubt” which is a very high standard.

It’s precisely because the justice system must be so conservative that we in our private lives MUST do our best not simply to mirror the decisions of the courts, but to make decisions for ourselves.

It is ONLY in our private circles the victims have ANY chance at being protected, because the courts explicitly (and rightly) must wait for unequivocal proof.

Especially in sex crimes that proof is almost never there. Acceding to the courts is the equivalent of saying 90% of victims should receive no protection from anyone on Earth. And that there is no corner where they might be safe from their tormentor.
If we wish to be good regulators of the environment, we must be a model of the environment.

> The average consumer could care less.

You're presuming that the average consumer is uninformed, which I can understand, but it's not true in my experience. Most people I know are well aware that they're in a pickle.
Don't forget the commute either. Suddenly you're clocking in 12h days without even noticing.
This! A hundred times!

I especially loathe articles that state near the end that energy consumption currently is quite high, but that they are working on optimizing that.

You can not optimize your system out of the hard dependency between photons and photosynthesis. Period.
That is not universally true. I would much rather work (at my employer) than do household stuff. I like to cook but I still by the pre-planned bags with recipes since I don't like the planning part. But I pay someone else to clean my home since i rather work.
First off, let me be clear that I am not a lawyer, and nothing I say here can be construed as legal advice.

That said, your location matters a lot. Many states in the US are “right to work”, which actually means that legally you can be fired at any time and for any reason, without notice. But it also means you can do the same to your employer.

Other states are not, and there are actual legal requirements for terminating an employment contract and severe penalties if you don’t follow the rules.

Regardless, I feel that you almost always want to give them at least two weeks notice, and you want to try to avoid burning those bridges.

But I must concede that there are times when that is simply not possible.

If you’re seriously contemplating this situation, then I would urge you to find a local employment law specialist and pay them to go over your situation with you. A small amount of money invested in getting proper local legal advice can save you a great deal of pain and suffering.

In other words, a months worth of coding can be very powerful — it might even save you a full hours worth of planning!

What Is the Difference Between Predictive Analysis and Machine Learning?
> "The How2Recycle label is showing up on more products at the grocery store ... GreenBlue says that there are more than 2,500 variations of the label in circulation" 2500 different recycling rules?!

I don't think 2500 variations is actually excessive, when you look at how the labels actually work.

The label has four parts [1]:

• One part tells what preparation is needed, such as whether you need to rinse the item before recycling, whether you need to remove the label, and things like that. There are 13 possible options for this part.

• The next part tells you if the item is widely recycled, not yet recycled, requires store drop off, or varies from place to place. There are 4 possible options for this part.

• The next part lists the type of material the item is made from, such as paper or glass. There are 6 options.

• Finally, the last part tells what part of the item the label applies to. Values include bottle, tray, insert, and 6 others, for a total of 9 options.

13 x 4 x 6 x 9 = 2808.

Also, a given product can have more than one label. E.g., a frozen entree might have a label for the plastic tray it is in, another label for the plastic film that covers the tray, and a third label for the box that the tray is sold in.

Maybe a silly question, but how is this different from using Dev Tools network requests inspector?

I see these features:

- Pause and filter the real-time event stream

- Delete a single event or clear them all

The irony of Americans thinking it is Chinese who live in a
"propaganda matrix"... while reading actual propaganda piece.

Yes. "Jeffrey Epstein" was a suicide. Americans electing Trump because... "Russian collusion". Bombing countries all over the world in the name of peace. "weapons of mass destruction". TSA. Prism. Student debt that can't be discharged.

Thinking that it's only "other evil governments" that use propaganda and deception, and US Gov. and interests groups are some beacon of truth, sincerity and transparency is just sooo naive.

Chinese in American have actual unconstrained access and understanding of both sides, they lived in both places, seen both systems. And you think their opinion is just based on "heavily brainwashing", because it is different than yours?

From me talking with Chinese in America, they are acutely aware of realities of the Chinese political system. But they are also acutely aware of realities of the western one. Much more so than Americans. They are not brainwashed, they are very realistic, pragmatic and smart. They just don't share some core beliefs of the western wold. They don't consider democracy as a good in itself. They consider the good of the community in relation to the good of an individual, relatively more important than westerners. And so on. And even when they do agree with theoretical advantages, they see first hand how little of alleged freedoms and benefits of western system actually materializes in practice.

Polyethylene is rather inert, but our ability to further utilize it beyond a single use is imperative. I grew up with paper grocery bags and glass bottled soda, and plastic was seen as the "green" solution at that time.

This is very interesting in more modern fields of reinforcement learning where debates rages between "model-free" and "model-based" approaches. I'd no idea that there was actual any proofs around this. However, I have to say the theorem goes against my intuition. If you want to control a heating system, you don't really need to build the model of heater which could be very complex requiring the knowledge of how it works internally. Instead, you observe the temperature for given action and successfully control it without ever knowing how your heater actually works. You do build a model but its model of observations and actions, not the heater itself. In fact, for vast majority of things we control such as bicycle or fan or oven, people rarely knows the model of these very complex systems (in terms physical principals and internals).

Indeed, the system Harper Reed built for the 2012 Obama campaign was widely hailed at the time for how it personalized campaigns to each individual voter, by building a big data store about every voter in the US:

"Those apps include sophisticated analytics programs like Dreamcatcher, a tool developed to "microtarget" voters based on sentiments within text."

"All of the data collected through various volunteer interactions and other outreach found its way into Narwhal's data store, where it could be mined for other purposes. Much of the data was streamed into Dreamcatcher and into a Vertica columnar database cluster used by the analytics team for deep dives into the data."

As a relative outsider, it’s not obvious at all that these are the right crates to choose. I appreciate the commitment to long-term stability that the standard library appears to have, but that benefit goes out the window if I accidentally rely on a third-party crate that changes its API every six months.

Looking at crates.io, regex looks pretty safe, as it’s authored by “The Rust Project Developers” and includes explicit future compatibility policies. Unfortunately, I can’t find an index of only the crates maintained by the Rust team.

Serde is obviously popular, but at first glance is a giant Swiss Army knife that will likely have lots of updates to keep track of that are completely unrelated to my project (whatever it is). If I search for JSON, I get an exact match result of the json crate, followed by a bunch of serde-adjacent crates, but not serde itself.

Request hasn’t been updated in 4 years, and has a total of less than 7000 downloads.
I wasn't aware that ECB reserves had a negative rate. To your point though, if you're a bank and a member of the Federal Reserve System, you definitely can deposit to the Federal Reserve. Banks have a reserve requirement as you mentioned, and in my understanding, that must either be in cash in the vault or deposits with the Fed. I believe the ECB operates with similar rules.

You could say the same thing as neutral arguments, without the posturing and the personal insults. Ever occurred to you? That's a jerk move. I’m not sure why this needs to be spelled out for you....

Did you even read my comments in these discussions (not just this subthread), and do they look like defending to Epstein and friends as to their innocence to you?

My point is an ages old point (and part of basic christian morals): love to the neighbor doesn't stop when one has been (or even is) a sinner, even if they're the worst sinner. In fact that's where it makes more sense.

That's not about befriending a criminal to participate or benefit from their crimes (which I made abundantly clear and even spelled out). It's also not about befriending a criminal and keeping quiet about criminal stuff you see (thus enabling) their crimes.

It's that if you're a friend, you're a friend. Friendship and love for a criminal isn't complicity and shouldn't be judged as such. In fact it could be the best thing that helps to make a criminal see their ways. Doubly so for an ex-criminal.
