> For every “good” post I had to consume thirty “bad” ones. 30/1 is just not that good of a ratio.

It'd be interesting to see the writer expound on his expectations for "good" and "bad". Speaking for myself, I go into social media with much different (i.e. lowered) standards than I do for other media, because the energy of consumption/opportunity cost is so low. I couldn't stand consuming 10 bad books/movies for every good one, but for tweets it's no problem. And of course there are ways to increase the signal-noise ratio (trimming the list of users you follow), but I generally like the serendipity of seeing what people are randomly tweeting. I don't feel the pressure to consume my timeline feed more than just a few swipes. And I find the Twitter default non-chronological sort does a decent job of surfacing interesting content for me.
I say it is time for a Latin revival - quidquid Latine dictum sit, altum videtur.
There was a book that became a TV movie called the Hoboken Chicken Emergency on this subject. I think it started out terrifying, but since it was made for kids didn't stay that way. Probably not a very accurate depiction.
What the link mentions is that we're observing CO2 concentration going from 2% to 3% of the atmosphere in over a few centuries, and that it's due to humans. This, on its own (that is, without the simulated consequences) isn't something that's likely to alarm the general public and make it dramatically change its lifestyle.
Google Rolls Out New Kotlin App-Building Lessons

Pretty much every major credit card offers it for free. Most large banks are now offering it as well. You shouldn't need to pay anything if you're using either of these.
This is what has worked for me for the last year:

1. Use pyenv, keep one pyenv Python version global
2. For a new project, use pyenv-virtualenv
3. Create a .python-version file in your project root with the version of your newly created virtualenv.
4. Use pip or Pipenv when in need of a new package (personally, I prefer pip for personal reasons).
Maybe you can just call or send a message to your friends. Talking helps.
I wouldn't absolutely refuse to help, but if you are like some users I've dealt with and you keep repeating that instead of answering specific questions I've actually asked† then I'll drop the call and mark the support ticket as paused‡ until the information requested is provided.

[†] Q: can you check A, User: why if the problem is Z? Q: could you do B and tell me what the response is?, User: but I'm sure the problem is Z, Q: what version of C do you have?, User: that shouldn't' matter because the problem is Z, ..."

[‡] meaning it is not running against any SLA clocks

The two matters could be separate symptoms of the same underlying problem for which more information is needed. Admittedly in this case you would probably be right and the tool is likely failing to update because it is getting the same 503:Overloaded responses from the http server, but that is not necessarily the case (perhaps the server is agent sniffing and provides a different, more human interpretable, response to requests from browsers, the response for humans is proxied by this server from another and that is currently overloaded, so the update tool isn't getting the same 503 responses that you are).
So court is undemocratic? People voting on falsehood is democtratic though? But the prospect of changing their minds when the new information becomes available (aka the second referendum) is undemocratic again?
> The rest is just for the webserver, dashboard and API. You don't really need that. Sure, you're solution requires less code but I don't think it's easier to setup or manage.

I think this really depends on who you are. For me, using a systemd timer and a systemd service is easier than the set of ad-hoc solutions Pi-hole uses. For someone else, probably Pi-hole is easier. That was my point in the OP.
To expound further, the government borrows roughly INR 5 lakh crores net per year. In the next year, the estimate of revenue that we want to collect just taxes, Indians will collect about 16 lakh gross, the government will pay 6.5 lakh crores in debt interest payment. About 40% percent of all of money that you're paying as a tax, is going not to build infrastructure, not to feed the hungry, not to pay farmers for food. It's going towards interest payments on the debt they borrowed in the past. Why would this be a problem? because we borrow debt at extremely high rates part.[1]

It was also a bit of an issue for Conservative party in Canada - though nowhere near at the scale & criticality of UK.
Had Nim been developed by or had funding from a large company (Google, Mozilla) I'm sure that chart would be much different. Instead, Nim is built by a group of volunteers contributing to a language they love.

I am not a contributor, but I also quickly fell in love with the language. I felt incredibly productive and being able to build tiny binaries that were cross platform was awesome compared to my old Golang binaries which tend to be heavy (bundling everything into a single binary). Also coming from a web background with little system/application programming knowledge I was able to pick it up really quick. It really is a "better python" in my opinion. The language is incredibly easy to read and write, has really good JSON support (which is a big plus for me) and is incredibly fast. To add more reasons to try, Visual Studio Code has a really good plugin for the language.
I listen to mostly the economics podcasts “Planet Money” and “The Indicator”. I consider myself a bleeding heart libertarianism capitalist. (ie Don’t increase minimum wage but pay more in taxes to help people help themselves.) I don’t see any real bias in their reporting.

Also, a “This American Life” episode about illegal immigrants working at a chicken plant (?) in Alabama single handedly made me see a few of the points that I thought were just right wing talking points.

Of course I don’t agree with the demonization of “other”. I am a minority who grew up in the south and whose parents grew up during the tail end of Jim Crow.
From what I recall zero downtime simply meant if a ilok went missing then PACE would assist you in replacing license(s) to a replacement ilok from their end. Trouble is often times you couldn’t quickly find a replacement ilok without a guitar center nearby and would still have to order it through avid store and wait for it to arrive if you didn’t plan for this.
This is just a technical point of view, as from now on the Queen has always appointed a person that has been choosen by the parliament. Perhaps with Willam, thing will change, but sorry, with QEII , I can't see her saying I appoint Corbyn even if parliament decide it is Johnson ;)
What features specifically are in screen that aren't in tmux?
Nimmer was the parent. I actually like rust more. Though all three are distant in popularity to java or python, so popularity is probably not going to be the distinguishing characteristic between them. The reason i chimed in is precisely because people keep directly comparing rust and go and they ar all horribly misguided. Sure, you vould write a web backend in rust (or just the slow bits like dropbox did) but you do it because go turned out to be too slow, not because that is a primary use case for rust. And while you could probably write drivers in go, why?
It's a mindless horde, an entire industry of half experienced idiots and half burned out savant engineers conning and rescuing one another in a cluster fuck of confusion. For the old school greys, the cloud itself is a con, as running a server oneself is actually quite easy, and exponentially better in every respect than slices of someone else's oversold hardware.
Events are truly the only thing keeping me on facebook, honestly, and it's been such a pain in the ass to get friends and family to move away from it, but right now it's central to a lot of things unfortunately.

Toying with facebook's api like you mentioned seems like an interesting idea though. I might play around with that when I get some free time.
Now you have the problem of a political president that wants to start doing controversial things, instead of a neutral head of state that at least all of the public can agree on. There is a lot of value of an apolitical the Queen as she unites (pretty much) the nation behind her. Regardless of political views, we can all say thats my Queen.
What did you make this with?
Wow, that was surprising to read as an American. Here, "cunt" is universally a negative + derogatory term, without exception.
My clients are small business owners. They run ads. They are not "mega rich" and are not building a "fat pile of cash". You need to step outside your bubble, and consider the broader ad landscape.
This is federally mandated in Canada -- the PAL. Don't even have to be a resident to apply and get one, just pass the test and have somewhere in Canada to have it mailed.

How to load, clear, hold a gun; familiarity with different types of gun and ammo; laws and regs. I still see people doing dumb shit at the range, but generally less than when I lived in the US.

By law you don't need a PAL to get ammo or parts, but most stores around here (I'm in AB) require it for any sort of gun-related purchase.
It doesn't suggest that age shouldn't be considered. It says the difference between 17 and 18 years old is minor. The justification is that depending on which country or even state within a country you're in you could be committing "rape" in one and not committing any crime in another. As rape is a word most people understand as awful violent crime it is absurd for it to depend on details like exact location where it takes place.

It could (and should) be called differently. If you call a consensual sex with 17 years old "rape" you're doing disservice to real rape victims.
I am running Pi-Hole at home (on a Ubuntu VM, no Raspberry Pi necessary). In addition I have a Wireguard VPN server which uses the DNS server from Pi-Hole. This way a have a system-wide ad blocker for my smartphone when connected to the VPN. The latency hit from this setup is barely noticeable.
Not a few of Major's cabinet ended up in jail, for various reasons.

In fact there's a better precedent - Attlee's prorogation in 1948.

The difference is that both were done by a PM with a working majority, so it could be argued they were done with the consent of Parliament.

Johnson nuked his own majority from orbit, so there's absolutely no argument that he's acting with the confidence and approval of Parliament.

Which is part of the problem. Parliament will remove him with a No Confidence vote soon. But first it wants to make sure that he doesn't make any other attempt to game electoral or Parliamentary procedure to force through the mad Brexit agenda that his hedge-fund owning backers want to profit from.
I find the separation between "the internet" interesting. You mean... a connected group of all humanity?

Yeah I would much rather have the $0.37 than credit monitoring.
When starting my GNU Screen journey 10-ish years ago, I immediately switched the meta key to Ctrl-K, which I had never used for anything in any app up to that point.
I did not think of that. An excellent point.
Don't worry. Too much opulence and political meddling will see some rando show up and nail a list of "suggestions" to the door of the place. Then the real fun begins.

Because the problem is Parliament. We have a deal, it has been voted down four times. Johnson has a clear strategy for Brexit, that is being stymied too.

I think what is unclear to you is the fact that we are leaving the EU. That question is closed. The point of the GE (and Johnson's strategy) is to ensure that we leave with a deal (it is very possible that the EU rejects any extension).
Not only was that 1997 incident during a time and issue that was not nearly as critical to the existence of the country, it was not at all comparable because it did not fundamentally prevent parliament from taking meaningful action on the issue: when parliament reconvened it could take up the issue again at it's leisure. In this case, prorogueing parliament had the effect of preventing nearly any meaningful action from taking place before it was too late. It's the difference between delaying action and denying it out right. (Yes there would have been a couple of days, not nearly enough for meaningful review or careful legislative action.)

Also length is a strong distinguishing factor. A few days or even a week or two are different enough in this situation to elevate a difference of degree to a difference in kind.

Finally, it happened with a PM that had a majority. Arguably the PM is not overuling the purpose of parliament when parliament itself agrees with the action. That is not the case here, there is no majority for the PM, and to all available evidence there is a majority that oppose this move by Johnson.
I reduced my equity from 55% to 12% when i left. it felt fair.
A perturbed gene network is linked to Autism genetics and symptom severity
I think you've conflated online downvoting behaviours with real life social conformity pressures, each of which probably have quite different effects on the propogation/extinction of certain beliefs.
Well in their defense, we don't want to pay for newspapers and so you can argue that this is the result of a lack of resources.
Like most of the media, it has a strong establishment bias. The center-left types are somewhat liberal in the older sense of the term[1], but establishment conservatives seem to be pretty welcome as well (Diane Rehm used to have people from AEI on all the time). Non-establishment types across the spectrum are frequently laughed at, ignored or dismissed. Osita Nwanevu had a decent column touching on this kind of bias in the media[2].

From what I've parsed of the paper, this appears to fall firmly in the first category. This is a quantum computer simulating a quantum circuit; it's like saying that swirly water in a sink is achieving fluid dynamics supremacy, because we can't compute the results as fast as the water moves. Q12 touches on this.

I'd be really interested to hear what Gil Kalai has to say on this particular subject; he's generally pretty fair minded while being of a QC skeptic. He has a response up [1] but I haven't read through it yet.

No the polls are correct. Many people’s overriding concerns don’t show up in any of the parent poster’s numbers. Poll after poll shows the majority of Republican voters concerns are for more “cultural” than economic. Especially when you take into account how electoral votes are distributed.
What Is Your Product Vision Statement?
what’s the actual vesting schedule??
As part of a first aid course, we had a lesson on what to tell the local equivalent of 911, including the place, number of people affected, type of accident and so on (I've mostly forgotten since it was a decade ago). Also the course included practical exercises (I remember having one with simulated epilepsy), with simulated phone calls.
I had Myspace for a short period of time and hated it. When Facebook came out I had it for about 2 weeks before deleting it, hated it as well. Even back then people would love to get in stupid arguments for stupid reasons and display a fabricated life. I've always felt like the weird one for not being into these forms of social media.

> And another high court unanimously ruled it as inside the scope of the law.

Sure, but if high courts are disagreeing about whether it's even within the scope of the law at all, isn't it a bit much to call it 'obviously illegal', i.e. not only in 'obviously' in scope, but also with 'obvious' ruling?

Don't get me wrong; Kotlin is a great language and, if I have to work on the JVM, it's one of my top two picks.

But, being a JVM language, it's still stuck with all of the Java shortcomings that I had listed before: Achieving a decent level of type safety is impossible, the FFI is still a pain to use, and you've got to go through contortions to get really good numeric performance. Because all of those problems are characteristics of the JVM's run-time environment, not the language you're using to target it.

A lot of people forget how valuable free time can actually be. There are some huge personal projects I did during my time in college when I had tons of free time, and this between playing video games, hanging with friends, travelling. You have so much freedom to explore and learn new things, read books, learn a language or two, explore the world. 4chan, while now it is mainly composed of lurkers or people browsing intermittently throughout the day, is still like a hub for people like this, who have a lot of free time on their hands.

There are also a ton of variants of 4chan, namely in Europe and Russia. With this outlook, I am not at all surprised of a small group of Russians pooling their efforts into meddling with a US election, their actions catching the eye of a trigger-happy Russian official and receiving funding or support from said official.
Except that for a .eu domain you need to be EU citizen or a organisation based in the EU, making you liable under EU law. But other than that, yes.
I've not used byobu in about a decade, but it has crashed on me in the past. I've never had tmux crash.

The other thing I didn't care w/byobu was that it had a clock in the bottom row. Once a minute my terminal window would light up telling me that something on that tab had changed.

Not a Lisp user, but a heavy Nim macro user. Nim macros are AST based, which means that after the parser part of the compiler have read the code and created a tree structure of it your macro is called on this tree. Then you can modify this tree to your hearts desire and return a new tree that the Nim compiler will splice back into the main tree before continuing. This means that you rewrite pretty much anything into pretty much anything else. You also have access to reading files on the machine, or doing pretty much anything else that Nim offers. For examples of what you can do with it you can have a look at my macro to create GUIs: https://peterme.net/cross-platform-guis-and-nim-macros.html, my article on how I use macros to create more read- and maintainable code: https://peterme.net/metaprogramming-and-read-and-maintainabi... or perhaps see how Protobuf was written as a string parsing macro which reads a Protobuf specification and spits out all the types and procedures you need to use it: https://github.com/PMunch/protobuf-nim
Sure, but what bothers me about it is the pizza thing; that’s actually what’s farfetched about it. Pizza is probably the most popular food in the country, references to it are everywhere. Attributing significance to that is finding patterns in the clouds.
I always find it strange how language materials insist on presenting agglutination as cases. I was lucky enough to not have it when I studied Turkish, so for me the

- -da is "in", not "locative case"

- -(y)a is "towards", not "locative case"

etc.

I personally find that insisting that students learn proper case names greatly hinders the learning process.

Finnish and Estonian are also agglutinative, and I feel abject horror reading about "essive", "comitative", "abessive" and other cases. Stahp! :)
it can, but then it uses the less-performant shims of Span<T> and company in https://www.nuget.org/packages/System.Memory/
The first transistors are 1947. We don't use that sort of transistor today, but unlike the vacuum tube it would have been obvious that a computer built from these transistors was viable. You can't get to the iPhone from there, but room size machines that do arbitrary Turing computation are only expensive. So that means it's in the realm of supersonic flight. If you must do it you can, but maybe you'll decide it's too expensive.

By 1950 then, the only question is whether we should, not whether we can.
That argument would apply equally well to discarding FPTP and retaining a monarch (or a dictator) at the top. A strong leader is definitely stable, so if that's the key metric an FPTP system is still not a winner.

PR certainly increases the power of minorities (but only in proportion to their support among voters) vs a FPTP system in which those voters are not represented at all; this can be both positive or negative (if NZ's system was implemented here in Australia, both the Greens and One Nation would have far more representation here, and the two major parties would be far weaker).

I'm not convinced that this is a bad thing. Where there is no representation people may justifiably resort to other means and that's hardly stable either. NZ's experience with MMP has been largely positive.

> It is truly bizarre that this is always one of the things that people recommend when it is well understood it would have the opposite effect from intended.

It may be that it's often recommended because this is not necessarily the case at all; however, I don't know the specifics of the UK setup and so whether it would be helpful _now_.

I think it's hard to argue that a less representative system is not also less democratic, so hopefully whatever is holding you back over there can be sorted out somewhere down the line.
