I believe I did point out that on Ninja's (I have one) you need to build the revs; you can't just dump the clutch and go like you can on a BMW Boxer or a Harley (which I also have). Hence the Ninja is generally slowest away when the lights change (but is by far the quickest bike overall).

In fact bicycles are fastest off the line, since they produce max. torque at 0rpm (just keep weight on a pedal, release the brakes to go). But acceleration is modest, so motorbikes and cars will soon go past.

And of course electrically-driven vehicles are also capable of producing torque at 0rpm, hence their acceleration advantage.
Hmm, that Perl code seems quite irregular / badly structured, I see some regexps are inline while others in named variables, no clear docs of what is the return of functions etc.

Beside that, the extra clarity in Go is from using a static language. Also, Perl is inexcusable for having no readable function signatures, that's really a no-go for a modern language :|

But for me at least, when I see that wall of boilerplatish Go code, my mind instantly ADHDs away, while those dense squiggles of Perl make me WANT to spend time and focus and solve the puzzle of what they do, I have 10x more chances of paying attention to the Perl code while reading it and maybe even spotting a bug in it :P ...
Laptop model: Lenovo Thinkpad T460p

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz

RAM: 16GB

Screen: 14" 2560x1440 usually dock it with a secondary screen

Personal comments:

* It's my sole computer so I use it for everything, from working to gaming (it has an integrated Nvida 940MX)

* The battery has gone shitty after 3 years and only hold 1 hours of charge so I need to buy a replacement. A part from that I really like it.

* Previously I had second hand Dell my whole life I don't regret the switch too much even if the XPS 13 is really tempting me. I also hesitate to buy a secondary laptop for my travel abroad which would be smaller and lighter and that I could afford to get stolen but I'm still on the fence.

* I find the dock really nice but wish they were cheaper
It's indeed a different style from the usual standard web layout, but I think it works very well for an online monument.
No, you don't learn that at uni, but you potentially gets exposed to one or two databases (unfortunately often something proprietary that should be classified as cruelty at that point, like Sybase).

You rarely learn to select the right database in general though your whole career. Normally you're in one of two situations: you don't know of any special requirements you have and go with an SQL database you like, or you know your special requirement and know what to look for.

I wouldn't start with dynamodb, because it's rather specific and has some limitations you may not expect. If it's your first backend project, use something general-purpose and popular so you can find lots of resources around it. Most likely postgres, MySQL, or sqlite (if you don't need a server).
> The tiniest bit of fish/meat/oil will likely get you over 10cal% fat. Because there is a little fat in all veg/fruit/etc, which will bring you to 5+cal% without nuts/seeds/avocado. Half an avocado a day, or a small hand of nuts and you already cross the 10cal% in most diets.

wow, that sounds difficult!

I wanted to buy a new microwave oven recently. Every single model I could find committed at least two of the following crimes:

- Loud, ear piercing beeps on every opportunity. Why would anyone need to hear a beep every time they press a button? Imagine if an iPad did that.

- Speaking of buttons: over-complicated controls, for something that should be two dials and one button

- Ugly, spaceship like industrial design that has no place in a home

- Inner surfaces with holes and protrusions that would be difficult to clean

- Bright glowing green or blue LEDs that are always on, contributing to indoors light pollution

There were a few expensive models that were less terrible (red lights, softer beeps (still beeps, mind you!), OK controls) but they were all too big to fit in my kitchen.

My conclusion is that these manufacturers have no clue and no culture to figure out what a “luxury” product would look like today. They still think people find LED screens, chromed plastic and digital buttons impressive.

I think the "fat years" are still in the future. Intelligent electric cars (however they may look like, think about the Renault Twizzy) and other means of transportation will make the combustion cars we have now look like dinosaurs and we will be proud of what we have then.

I recently bought a new car in Germany (combustion engine as I needed a 7-seater). People ask me why I took the base engine (140HP) while adding all other optional equipment possible. I tell them: in and around a city, even those 140HP will never get used. And the times I am on the Autobahn AND (!!) being able to actually drive more than 130km/h are so rare that I would never put my money into higher speeds/acceleration. The question of "enough power" has been solved some years ago. Now let's make this power intelligent and sustainable.
I'm not sure that making public transportation free is the right idea to make more public transportation available, since the public transportation networks use the money from fares to function (in addition to money from the gov, any network with farebox recovery ratio [0] < 100% will need an external money source)

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farebox_recovery_ratio

Still I agree that public transportation is a common good and I'm happy to live in a country with above-average networks (both at the local and national levels).
It seems you replied to the wrong comment?
"The reason we’ve decided not to go down the responsible disclosure path is being strong believers in public transportation being a common good that should be free for everyone, and this research is our contribution to get us closer to that end."

This is trolling, right?
Yes, but faith in scientific method can be re-written as "I've seen the scientific method demonstrated in the past, and I will continue to see it demonstrated in the future, because it strictly follows rules that define it". It's a "faith" that things will continue to be tested to be false, and, if not found to be false, slightly more founded in the the way we understand and correlate the observable universe.

Those who define science as truth are being lazy with the definition. Science is a series of experiments to determine what doesn't seem to be true, so we can narrow down what might be true.

I'm not meaning to be oblique or argumentative, and I actually respect the right of anyone to believe anything they find to be personally gratifying to believe (otherwise science wouldn't progress). I just tend to get entrenched in these discussions because I find religion (and faith) so fascinating. I see "faith" as the birth of a hypothesis, but without experimentation, it's only a hypothesis.

The rat race is no longer desirable as the old dream of owning your own home is becoming more fantasy. Pregnancy rates are down and divorce rates are high. Housing is simply too big an investment for people barely able to afford a single home.

Your only options are to move to a city and adjust to make a lucrative and highly commercial life there - or live in the middle of nowhere with fewer job prospects while the cost of everything around you goes up.

As others mentioned, we now all have devices in our pockets that tell and show us the lives we don't have and the lives we desire.
Yep. Or, perhaps cheaper, a Vostok Amphibia, but the quality control went down over the years, so it might not be as amphibious as the name suggest (I've got a very rusty Amphibia, now).
Does bob have proper permissions to delete root? Probably not...

But otherwise, yes, you can run any valid command or pipeline on the server side so rm -rf is certainly acceptable.
So I take it you've never used journalctl then at all? Because seeing as how it's default behaviour is to use the system pager, which on any system with `less` installed is less, I'm somewhat at a loss as to what you can't do with it that you can with files now.
Why would they be? I can see the political argument for the position.
Perhaps because it was indescribably awful.
The public version is to demonstrate that large enterprises looking after public infrastructure & contracts still fail spectacularly to implement basic security practices in their products.

Under the covers, it's an invitation to have a go at transport operators who are unpopular and have a reputation for offering low-quality services at high cost.

thanks for the detailed reply
I think kids have every right to visit cemeteries. They too have dead relatives, and it's probably healthy for them to be in touch with that. But being kids, they're unlikely to remain quiet for very long.

If people are using the cemetery as a playground with no regard for the people buried there, then I agree with you. But other than that, I think it's important to accept kids as part of life. Perhaps especially so at cemeteries. And seeing a new generation grow up can also be a comfort.
Create incentives for (or simply mandate) longer warranty terms.

In Germany, anything you buy has a 2-year seller's warranty, plus a presumption that any issues occurring within the first 6 months are a manufacturing defect unless the seller proves otherwise.

Turning that into a 5-year warranty on large appliances would be relatively trivial and immediately provide an incentive to make long-lived products.

For the time being the work is still in the early stages of the computational neurosci research. Once things get to the point of commercial/medical viability then I'd imagine either the direct synthesis model will improve sufficiently or something akin to parrotron's voice normalization may be of use https://google.github.io/tacotron/publications/parrotron/ind... .

For actual patients using the system however I'd expect it would be beneficial to keep the output as low latency and as unmodified as possible as this will help the individual learn to control the system as nerual activity shifts over the course of time.
I fail to see how that is ok.

A little bit of chlorine in the gene pool is often beneficial for mankind.

Adults should be free to engage in dangerous activities. The unfortunate problems are 1) they can and do hurt other people and 2) they hurt themselves and subsequently become vegetables and wards of the state.

That's why we have laws against (some) dangerous behavior. It's all a balancing act between individual freedom and society.

On a side note, Nikon D750 has an utterly retarded remote protocol. Or PTP is really that bad.

For example: you shoot a photo, then the camera sends it via USB to the host. Takes multiple seconds, instead of just saving it to the SD-card. No queuing either, so you need to wait before shooting again.
Any feedback on this tool for developers?

That quote doesn't support your statement.
I’m nowhere near Silicon Valley or the west coast - I’m on the opposite side of the country in Atlanta. Yes I know people here live a good life, have a house, go on trips etc with a household income of less than six figures, but making more gives you a lot more “Ands” and less “ors”.

You can have the nice house in the burbs, max out your 401K, enjoy decent date nights with your SO every pay period, save for vacations, pay other people to do stuff you don’t want to do (occasional meal prep, yard service, etc), and have enough left for the things that go bump in the night. Realistically, for all the “ands” it takes about $150K to $200K of household income. That’s without getting the biggest house, the nicest cars and the most expensive vacations.

Also, I see “having my own business” and “having a less stressful life” as being the opposite of each other.

I don’t have to worry about finding customers, budgets, marketing, and I have st least six weeks a year paid time off between vacation time and holidays.

If the company disappears tomorrow I get another job.
markdown has a bunch of flaws - most egregious is that it lacks a spec. GFM brings in a few nice QOL improvements and CommonMark tried to standardize - but it's very very soon that you run into it's warts - For ex - try to have a list which has a code block in it (or other complex content)

For me, Asciidoc (and Asciidoctor) have become the default - formal spec, test cases and extension mechanism so that you don't have N + 1 flavors of it. It also has a markdown migration mode that eases moving from md.

IMO, it is better in almost every way than markdown - the only reason it isn't as popular is that Markdown was made popular (and drove adoption) by the Github & others.
Chrome, without any extensions is not that bad. It's when you add all the extras to it that it starts to get more and more bloated.

Chinese Deepfake App ZAO Goes Viral, Privacy of Millions 'At Risk'
You know why? Because all the chefs I know say the same thing - smoking is the only way to get any sort of break while in the kitchen, going outside and standing still doing nothing for 5 minutes is not acceptable, but somehow going out and smoking for 5 minutes is absolutely ok in most kitchens. I know some people who picked up smoking only to have an extra break at work.

On the plus side, I also know someone who bought himself an e-cig and somehow buys "blank"(saline/water filled) cartridges for it, just so he can have a short break but without any side effects of actually smoking.
Very true, and let's not even get started about the defense industry...
Political education is education even if it's also propaganda (in the sense of information designed to persuade). A large number of political YouTube channels across the political spectrum could be called educational.
Saying something is "within spec" is something that Samsung seems to do to avoid dealing with defective products.

I bought a $3,000 65" 4K HDR TV 4 years ago. When it was delivered, it had 4 "bright" corners that I later found out were likely caused by the panel being pinched by improper shipping or shipping materials. I told Samsung that this defect was unacceptable and they needed to replace or repair the TV under warranty. They told me that it was "within spec". For their top-end $3000 tv. Yeah, right.

Luckily, I purchased the TV from a local retailer, who exchanged it for me (with one we opened and tested at the store). Sadly, that retailer has since been driven out of business by Amazon.

If they know _exactly_ how many cases have presented, then they could have said _exactly_ how many cases have presented, instead of saying "more than 215".

And this is the number of cases, it's the number of patients. You're not a patient until you see a doctor, so that doesn't include people who don't see a doctor.

There are a lot of numbers that are more than 215, but with such a specific number, it makes me think that the number is something like 217, and they just said "more than 215" to sensationalize it.

And to be clear, 215 cases in a nation the size of the US is not "becoming an epidemic".
I think you are missing the forest from the trees. If we want to truly reduce climate change we should start by reducing international shipping, consumerism, and non-essential air travel for both pleasure and business.

A 300MPH speed run in an ultra low production Bugatti car is more or less insignificant in the fight against climate change.

It would appear, based on this fairly recent survey of the available literature, that nicotine is probably more harmful than caffeine:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4363846/

Which is kind of also where I'm going, saying, "by what standard?" There are plenty of ways to play gotcha with any potential regulation, based on the list of findings in this survey. I mean, let's assume, for the sake of argument, that GP was thinking that maybe we shouldn't allow vape juice manufacturers to deliberately add any banned pesticides such as DDT or arsenate. . . well, it turns out that nicotine is a banned pesticide, too.

Like I said in another comment, the research on pure nicotine doesn't seem to be as extensive as one would expect. It's been overshadowed by research on smoking and chewing tobacco. But it is there, and it's not that equivocal. I've heard this meme that nobody's proven nicotine is particularly harmful plenty of times, especially among ex-smokers who still use nicotine lozenges or vape juice or whatever, and I'm not sure where it comes from, but my guess is that it's based on a motivated interpretation of the situation. Like Upton Sinclair said, "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his ability to not spend the next longwhile feeling crappy due to withdrawal symptoms depends upon his not understanding it." Or something like that.

Which, again, at least in a vacuum, I'm not particularly worried if people want to vape. Me, I like alcoholic beverages. But I fully acknowledge that alcohol is a toxic chemical that's probably shortening my life. What worries me more is when people decide they're OK with vaping based on what amounts to a sort of conspiracy theory, because it's impossible to give informed consent when you're uninformed.
Probability as Minimal Map
I’m sure that it might be for some. There’s certainly the cases where someone suddenly faces the loss of their entire life through arrest for some horrific crime and kills themself in the bathroom at the last moment.

For many however - through personal experience - it is something planned for, hoped for, dreamed about - for as long as decades.
That word you used, I don't think you know what it means.

Appropriation is when you take something (often by deceit, lies or force) and (this is the important part) call it your own.

Had he for instance learned Terenggaun food, clothing, habits, or any part of the culture, returned to the UK and announced all of it as something he came up with, that would be cultural appropriation.

OTOH, what he has done -- given himself up to it ("I'm more Malay than English.") would be described, as why-oh-why points out, cultural integration.

Interesting, I also use a T460p (32 GB with a second m.2 harddrive), my battery still has 92 % capacity after more than three years. Do you also have a Sanyo battery? I think batteries are often sourced from different companies so you might have gotten a bad one. Did you often completely discharge it? I heard that charge/discharge patterns can have a large influence on the capacity.

I also really like the T460p, three years in it still works great, is easy to upgrade and not too heavy.
Given that this is a declarative language, have you given thought to creating a means of generating the (imperative) DDL needed to alter tables if the DBML is updated? My team has been storing DDL in our GitHub repo and we have a basic script run by our CI/CD tool to deploy that DDL upon push to master, but it would be great if that could be extended to handle cases where the DDL is modified.
Pointing out that some people can feels like a lame excuse for justifying doubt when someone says they can’t. Almost everyone does not choose their orientation.

It’s not a growing trend to suggest people can control this. It is perhaps a trend that people acknowledge things change over time. Those two are not the same.
