Its stressful for me because I'm running out of youth and I'm never going to find a mate :(
The women just aren't attracted to a guy like me, or aren't interested in starting a family so much as poly-amory, drugs, revealing festival costumes, junk media, sex work, alcohol, or anything other than using their youth and looks for hedonism.

Edit: Obviously touchy, people actually have thoughts like this, how do we lovingly and selflessly address this and actually turn someone around rather than shaming them? (or is shame how we do it?)

Edit: How might you communicate about the thoughts that are going on in the head of suicidal tech workers, without everyone assuming that you are the person who is suffering that level of consciousness? maybe a disclaimer was all people would have needed to understand that?
You can have unrealistic managers in any occupation.
I lead the Zulip project, and am also super sad about this. There's a very active Zulip in the Rust community (https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com), and we love the great feedback we've gotten from them.

The "IAM problem" is apparently that Mozilla's IAM is based on SAML, which Zulip doesn't have native support for today. There are two possible technical solutions:

* One could use https://zulip.readthedocs.io/en/latest/production/authentica... with https://github.com/Uninett/mod_auth_mellon to integrate SAML authentication for Zulip without any code changes.

* One could add native support for it, using our `python-social-auth` integration. Generally adding an authentication provider supported by `python-social-auth` takes about 50 lines of mostly boilerplate code plus some tests -- not a big effort.

As I mentioned elsewhere in the thread, I sent OP an email yesterday offering for the Zulip core team to do any work required for Mozilla to evaluate Zulip over the next week so they can evaluate Zulip. He replied that it's too late to revisit their decision :(.

For other folks involved in open source projects, you should absolutely consider Zulip! We provide our paid plan completely free to open source projects, can import history from Slack and other tools, and are actively prioritizing features specifically for open source communities (like the ability to search the complete history of all public streams even as a user who just joined).

Open source projects that have switched consistently tell us that Zulip's topic-based threading is a way better model for a distributed community with a lot of volunteers than Slack/IRC/Gitter/etc., making it easier for maintainers to manage the community and helping more new contributors stick around.

>What is it about the JS DOM that makes a DOM of N elements modelling a given app’s view, have a higher memory footprint than the “DOM” (view state) of a native graphics toolkit modelling an equivalent app’s view?

For starters, because the DOM is a very inefficient design of an app's view, primarily designed for text and simple forms, and with all kinds of extra crap bolted on. Until CSS Grid, there wasn't even a proper layout engine available, and people used styling primitives meant to float text for UI design...

A native UI engine can implement drawing a window with a button (the raw widgets, design wise) with a few lines of code to draw, two rectangles, some edge shading, and some text.

The DOM has thousands of lines for all kinds of contingencies for the same thing...
That doesn't really make sense -- there is no "RPython runtime". There is a PyPy runtime written in RPython.

RPython isn't something that's exposed to PyPy users. It's
meant for writing interpreters that are then "meta-traced". It's not for writing applications.

It's also not a very well-defined language AFAIK. It used to change a lot and only existed within PyPy.

I'm pretty sure the PyPy developers said that RPython is a fairly unpleasant language to write programs in. It's meant to be meta-traceable and fast, not convenient. It's verbose, like writing C with Python syntax.

No compiler can read your mind. But in a language with brackets, the compiler can at least determine scope even when things are poorly-indented. In Python it can't in a lot of cases.

It's like static type checking: The class of errors the compiler can catch is larger when it's present. Likewise, with visible scoping characters, the class of errors the compiler can catch is larger than when they are invisible.

Rent control (regulation) creates more problem, I agree with that.

But I don't think it's fair to say that expensive housing, full stop, is a product of regulation.

There are desirably places to live that have housing that goes up at a good enough rate to be considered an investment. As long as there are people of sufficient means, some of them will add property to their portfolio of assets. A home that sits unused on prime real estate is, frankly, more of a drain on that community than $100,000 in cash sitting under a mattress going unused.

It's not perfect, and it IS a regulation, but penalizing people for hoovering up housing stock and then not using it, can benefit society.
You need to exaggerate less.

The maximum rent increase rate is 60% of the trailing twelve months CPI in the bay area. But landlords’ costs do not scale with the CPI. Mortgage rates are fixed (if a landlord has a mortgage at all), taxes are independent of CPI, and principal+interest+taxes are the vast majority of a landlord’s expenses. Maintenance is typically a small fraction of that number.

Landlords are not obligated to pay your heat or water under rent control. Mine certainly never did.

The roommate law changes you mention are not rent control, but tenant protections applicable to all rentals in SF. The 2015 change brought rent controlled units up to par, because landlords were evicting people for doing things like getting married or switching roommates (horrors!) Basically: preventing predatory landlords from being scumbags.

I’m going to go with the GP on this and say that if you think people should have their rent hiked for getting married or changing roommates or having a kid, you have poor morals.

In essence, you don’t like being told what you can do, you have a theory that it hurts the housing market, and you’re inventing reasons to justify your theory of reality.

I agree with this, so based on the article I think that browsers should respect the Windows setting since it's an expression of the user's preferences. Other than that, I have a strong preference that webpages don't try to style the scrollbar (with exceptions when it really makes sense).
> If we start out with the photon about to go through the half-silvered mirror, the state looks like |photon>⊗|me>,

But in the MWI what we start with is the universal wavefunction |Psi>. Say there are 10^80 particles in the universe and they may have a spin and could be in infinite locations. That makes for an ininite-dimensional Hilbert space. If we consider that the precision in the location variables is limited by Planck's length there are still around 10^180 possible locations in the universe for each particle. The Hilbert space where the quantum state of the universe is defined is huge.

Now, you say "the state looks like |photon>⊗|me>". To keep things simple and in the realm of Schroedinger's equation I will consider an electron instead of a photon, prepared in the state spin z=+1/2.

Is "|up>⊗|me>" shorthand for "(1 |up> + 0 |down>)⊗|me, the electron at that position, the rest of the universe>" which would be the "in-branch" quantum state of the universe?

If indeed |Psi> can be written as a superposition of that state and an inconceivable huge number of orthogonal states, are all those states (when their coefficient is non-zero) the multiple worlds?

But given |Psi> there are infinitely many (or at least a lot of) possible basis to express the pure state as a decomposition (including of course the one where the only non-zero "world" in the superposition is the one described by the wave function |Psi>). Do we count as "worlds" as well the states appearing in other basis?

Is this slicing of |Psi> into other states just a mathematical trick or does it have a physical meaning? Even if we can redo the operation at different times on the evolving |Psi(t)>, how are the "emergent substates" at different times related?

The answer to all these questions is far from trivial.

You can still revert to market rate if your tenant leaves. As a landlord who values consistent occupancy over maximizing profit, I am fine with this. And I agree with above comment, if you are raising rent 7% every year then you or your prop manager lowballed your rent, that’s not the fault of rent control.
I hope your able to get the sleep you need.
FWIW, you can buy specific skins that are on the character loadout with very few exceptions. I've never paid for premium in the game, just used the in game currency.

The confusion with Apex is that there are 3 types of currency. One is the in game free currency. That's typically used to unlock characters who cost 12,000 units. The second currency are the gold coins, which are used as premium purchasing power from the devs for things like the battlepass and specific items in the rotating store. The third currency refers to materials. Materials can be used to purchase any skin/celebration/quip etc. Materials can be bought with gold. I believe that you purchased the wrong thing.

If you really want a particular skin it's not that hard to get!
Lots of people already said it, but here it goes: Hang in there buddy, get out of that place. Seriously. Not every boss is like that. Trust us.
These articles make me feel like I'm the only person on Earth who's never had a problem with my scrollbars. Do they have to fix things that aren't broken for people?
It's the musical equivalent of "not even wrong". It's not just that it lacks a human element, it's aggressively inhuman. It creeps me out like those jerky animatronic characters at Chuck-E-Cheese.
> The type checking doesn’t actually help you to create functionally correct systems at all (let alone the false claims that it makes this process faster).

This is a red flag to me. Of course the tool doesn't guarantee the result, but your story smells of incompetence. I've introduced FP and a focus on types-as-a-tool at the places I've worked and hired accordingly. Quality and speed of development have gone up after minimal time investment. A battle of n=1 I guess?

Can I opt out of all of these as well? Unfortunately, not very easily. With Google Photos, you can choose not to run the facial recognition tool on your own photos, but you can't control what other people who may have uploaded photos of you decide to do.

For Google Photos, what can other people who have uploaded photos of me do by enabling facial recognition on them? How is that facial recognition data used by Google?

I don't understand why these articles don't even bother with a slightly more in-depth reporting, instead of just pivoting to the next bugaboo, namely Facebook.
They've banned people for using modded clients in abusive ways, i.e. overriding spam/flood controls, which is reasonable. Unfortunately their official statement in response to those incidents was essentially "You can be be banned at any time for using modded or unofficial clients." They haven't actually done that to any legitimate users AFAIK, but their overreacting, user-hostile stance is worrisome, so I can see why amyjess is concerned.
> “The reaction ... WAS very different than it WOULD HAVE BEEN in the last administration,” this person said. “With the current administration, there ARE a different set of calculations in regard to addressing THIS.”

> The former senior intelligence official criticized how the administration handled the matter, remarking on the striking difference from past administrations, which LIKELY would have at a very minimum issued a démarche, or formal diplomatic reprimand, to the foreign government (INCLUDING ISRAEL) condemning its actions.

I capitalized the key words, as well as changed something from implicit to explicit.

The article states that the last administration WOULD HAVE handled this situation different. This statement is epistemically flawed in a variety of ways, one major one being being it requires not just top secret but omniscient knowledge.

People have a hard enough time deducing what's actually going on even based on first hand and far simpler interpersonal interactions in their own daily lives, it's no wonder so many people are confused when hundreds of leading articles like this are printed and consumed every day. People already "hallucinate reality", we shouldn't be making it worse.

EDIT: Perhaps this is where we're not seeing eye to eye: you may be judging/evaluating (see what I did there) this article based on your presumption of the _intent_ of the author, whereas I am talking about the impact of this kind of narrative-over-facts writing style on people's perception of reality, regardless of underlying intent?
Your science. My religion.
While I appreciate law enforcement wanting to do it's job, there's zero technical reason to require compromised privacy and/or protocols that allow for malicious third parties to impersonate legitimate service providers, right?

There is no reason that the phone can't first check that the tower is legitimate before providing identity, and that the tower then checks whether the phone is legitimate before providing any service.

Law enforcement can have what they want without forcing the public to be subject to hacking or identification by anyone at all with an agenda or a few bucks to spare. Right?

Given the increased public awareness of internet security and privacy recently, I'd guess that increased public awareness of mobile security is either already happening or about to happen. I'm just curious how far along we are.
> I don’t want to write a random free function for one line of code. I want nice syntax

shrug Sure, me too, everybody wants nice syntax.

What I'm saying is that syntax is never the most important problem with a language. People talk about problems with syntax because they're easy to understand, and the more important problems with a language are much harder to understand and talk about.

If a genie told me I could wish for three problems with Python to be instantly fixed, none of them would be syntax. I can't think of a language I've used where syntax would be on the list.
It's a fair comment. You entirely brushed aside point 3 by using a personal criticism on the parent poster to ignore the fact that rent control is imposing a cost on an entire massive state, in order to regulate a thing that is an issue in a small number of counties.

if 1500 people died from a sustained blizzard lasting a decidedly "abnormal" period of time would be a better equivalency. It's not like someone just turned the heat lamp on France for a day and zapped 1500 people and then turned it off. People are much better equipped to quickly respond to a catastrophic event. They're less prepared for a sustained shift of their fundamental way of experiencing life.

Totally right about size_t, my bad, hopefully, the compiler will raise a warning.

As for integer overflow, I don't actually know how to handle it properly. In normal conditions, it is unlikely to be a problem. If the two strings can fit in memory, the sum of their size should fit in a size_t, but I agree that making such assumptions can be a bad idea.

Maybe the best way is to limit the size of the input strings to a reasonable value. That would prevent many out of memory situations too and potential DoS too.
I think you have the first three points — dynamism, C extensions, and economics — right on the money. The fourth point I would add is that Python has a huge standard library. That's a very large surface area, all of which ends up needing optimization effort to get good performance across a wide variety of programs.
I do the same, when it ramps up like that, I either do an audio book, or read a real book. It's just enough focus for me that my mind doesn't go wild but it's not stimulating enough to keep me awake as I slow down. (Stimulating as in a fast paced movie or video game). I just think about the story, and drift off as I slow down.

It's a major life win for me.
This paragraph pretty much sums up the potential of what China's Greater Bay Area has to offer:

> Shenzhen has become a center for research and development that ranks alongside Silicon Valley. The area around the industrial city of Dongguan produces one-third of the world's jeans, while Foshan accounts for more than half of all refrigerators and air-conditioning units manufactured worldwide. Hong Kong is Asia's leading financial center and Macao is the largest gambling city in the world, with six times the gaming volume of Las Vegas.

Ironically, using the Bay Area as an inspiration feels like Apples and Oranges given it's more tech-centric whereas this "Magalopolis" almost feels like a country within a country. Very curious to see how this grand plan progresses over the coming years.

Show HN: Mkii – An Expirimental Redis Clone Built with Rust and Tokio
Actually I can't find any P.R. from Beyond Meat that claims its stuff is healthier. I can't see that Subway said the new stuff was healthier either. Here's a sample press release: https://www.bloomberg.com/press-releases/2019-08-07/subway-r...

Impossible Foods is pretty similar, although they do claim they looked for ingredients that are "better for people" which implies being healthier but isn't even that specific. https://www.whitecastle.com/pdfs/New_Impossible_Slider_FAQ.p...
mkii (Mark 2) is a redis clone I've been working on and off for a while and I've decided to open source it recently as I think I'm a bit stuck on where to find some literature on how to implement some concepts like persistence and transactions using a SMP design. I'll probably be hitting some online courses but I wanted to put this out there to see if anyone had any constructive feedback.

The project is built on Rust and Tokio, and uses an SMP design to acheive parrallelism. I've recently updated it to work with the stablilized futures and async/await syntax.

Without persistence and transactions the database architecture is relatively easy to understand and it scales well without the pitfalls of something like thread-per-connection. Currently only the STRING functions are implemented in Redis and hashes and lists don't seem to hard. However before doing a ton of other work, I'd like to be more confident my architecture is sound.

This is a learning experience for me to exercise my brain - I'm not working towards anything production worthy.
Such synchronicity for me considering I decided to learn tarot two days ago!
Not constructively. Zadkey essentially derided France for being unprepared for a situation for which they had no true context. If you take no issue with Zadkey's comment, then I'd assume you have no issue with the Harvey response.
Whether this is opt-in/opt-out is not clear. What bothers me, though, is how Google won't delete your images used for training automatically.

Reflections on Event Streaming as Confluent Turns Five – Part 1
Having worked in other fields, I think the difference is that our work is often limited by us. We can always do something more or feel like we should have been faster.
