> it goes to some effort to explain why you cannot, from that, conclude that helmets have no effect on individual accident outcomes

Right. A friend who's an ER doctor once put it this way:

"I'm going to hit you in the head with a hammer; you can wear a bike helmet or not, your choice."

Statistics are all well and good, but it would take a rare allegiance to epidemiology to skip the helmet.

I've also heard it said that statistics look different when you are the statistic...

Had the fortune of visiting parts of Sudan in late '17. The country has such a wealth of history, much of it completely ignored / probably much more still hidden beneath the sands. When we visited El-Kurru, they had just unearthed a tomb, and we were amongst the first few dozen people to have walked in the chamber in thousands of years (or so we were told). At some sites you can camp amidst the Pyramids, and safety assume you'll be the only visitor. If Sudan was able to get an accessible tourist programme together, suspect it would be a serious contender to Egypt.

Because of how similar they are, it would make sense to implement async/await using existing generator backends in the VM, right?

The function is both synchronous and asynchronous until it is called by the caller. This is called Shannon's Cat.

Jokes aside, I'd like to add that just because a function returns a promise doesn't mean the caller will always want to wait for it to resolve. I think of `await` as a simple modifier that casts the return value from a `Promise<T>` into `T`. By getting rid of the modifier, we can no longer assume that the caller wants to implicitly wait.
That’s mental. Trello is nice, I use it, but in the end it’s essentially a to-do list app. Do we really feel hard done by when a to-do list app is ‘only’ worth $500,000,000?
While that is true, I do not believe that is why they are doing it that way. There's nothing stopping them from giving some minimal feedback that an update happened. It would actually be better that they did.

It is also suspicious how set they are so against users using an older version of their browser. Security is not a good enough justification. It is actually easier to use an older Operating System than an older version of Chrome.

This is clearly just to protect the integrity of their platform.
That's all well and good, but tapes are smaller than disks. LTO-8 is 12TB and the 14TB disks have been out for a good while.

Also with inefficient tapes you end up spending many more tapes for inefficient incrementals, incredibly long seeks, and lack of efficient deduplication.

Then there's other nasty surprises like a relatively narrow temperature range for tapes and an improper alignment of the head can result in tapes you can read and write... but when the drive dies you can't read the tapes anywhere else.

Tapes still make sense above a certainly scale, but I think it's around 10PB before the real world costs of tapes, drives, robot, support agreements, extra capacity for inefficient incrementals/dedupe, etc.

The big win with tapes is it's much more feasible to rotate tapes offsite.

Fortunately we have astronomic events. No Earth-based experiment could emit gravitational waves strong enough to detect; good thing the Universe has plenty of black holes, and some of them merge.
I don't know how we get there. I'm incredibly frustrated at how much doors remain shut in my face and I can't get traction, real respect and the money that goes with it.

But after a lifetime of sorting my baggage in the aftermath of sexual abuse and rape, I'm clear that one thing that must happen is women need public lives on par with what men have and women need career options and earned income on par with men.

A whole lot of this BS is rooted in the idea that a woman's sexuality is a prize to be won by an "eligible" male -- ie a man who earns enough to take care of her. There is a subtext of ownership there.

Which is part of what drives women to claim rape after a drunken hook up: It protects their perceived purity in a world where women are still not entitled to take ownership of their own sexuality and must hoard its use and preserve its value to merit future ownership by some worthy man.

Ie some man who makes enough money.

It's a terrible societal poison that seeps insidiously into far too many bedrooms.

Are you sure that guarding a refinery is doable in principle? One mortar crew in the back of a pickup truck gets within 5km of a refinery for a few minutes and the facility is burning. If someone can get access to a towed artillery piece that 5km goes up to 20km.
OK folks, I'm with you that I prefer phat juicy travel on my keyboards and don't mind a thick laptop.

But guess what, that's not the only target audience for laptops. The Macbook Air and recently-deceased Macbook are awesome because they're stylish and fit in a purse. Let that sink in. There are many use-cases for extremely thin devices that still have dedicated keyboards.

In real life we have very different inputs and outputs and sense for anonymity. All of the internet has turned us into a different creature. All technology seems to. We make tools that change us.

Seems like the best we can do is understand as many social spheres as possible.

"I don't get this whole "Facebook is the devil,"

If you don't get it then that line of thinking is not for you. Different people like different things. I left FB a few years ago now and do not miss it one bit, whatsapp groups became more important for social stuff at some point and FB loss significance. This is not for everyone, not everyone is the same.

You could literally replace most comments here, yours included, with "different things for different people". What's the point in bitching about how I DONT GET PEOPLE THAT THINK X!!! well I don't understand how you think either mate.

> In the workplace dating coworkers is generally frowned upon.

And at a restaurant, being in a relationship with a fellow patron is quite common. Similarly, no legal or cultural ban against dating your room mate when you rent a house (much to the relief of married couples everywhere).

Students are (mostly) not employees of the university, but they are customers of educational services and (quite often) tenants. A university has a number of relationships to students, and a number of responsibilities, both to the (alleged) predators and to the larger student body.

I mentioned a startup situation in the hopes it would seem relevant to many here (surely we've all had at least one co-worker that was disruptive?), but trying to view this purely through the lens of employment law will get you nowhere.
Heart attacks are sudden and sometimes nothing could save you. My mother is a medical professional, and she told me the story about a doctor in her hospital: one morning he realized he was about to have a heart attack, called emergency services himself and left the door open; he was dead by the time the ambulance arrived, five to ten minutes later.
Locks are for concurrency. Parallelism is orthogonal.

When you are forced to yield inside of your critical section (a database call, a file write, whatever), as is common in NodeJS, you must acquire a lock that another coroutine can't run through.
It doesn't just detect arrhythmia -- it also detects if you have fallen and are not moving (and will automatically call emergency services after some duration, if configured as such). More details at https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208944 if you're interested to know more.
There was an excellent series on this exact question released in Norway called Hjernevask [1]. Linking to Wiki there since it provides a link directly to each video as well as a brief synopsis. It had a profound impact on its release in Norway starting extensive discussion of the topic and ultimately led to the removal of government funding for gender studies programs. The primary methodology was simply approaching researchers with contrary research and seeking their views and opinions.

This is also not an American style documentary where things are taken out of context or efforts made to entrap researchers or anything like that. It's just regular interviews on both sides of the argument alongside giving each side the opportunity to express themselves as well as their views on research that tends to run contrary to their own personal views. But all in all this ultimately serves to greatly emphasize how tenuous the appeals to a social construct are when contrasted against the other option.

It goes without saying, but all episodes are of course also subtitled in English.

At Baylor a former investigator described believing that because it was a religious school they expected there wouldn't be much for them to do.

I have to wonder how much life experience someone has who thinks that...

At a large public institution near me they had some lawyers review their processes.

The resulting suggestions were pretty shocking. Things like, educating the accused as to what the process even was. Notifying the accused that there was an appeal (they apparently didn't do that all the time). Allowing all parties legal representation. And more detailed recording of testimony, mostly due to cases that involved concerns from accused students that their testimony that was recorded was inaccurate and had only been recorded by hand written notes taken by another student. In some cases their efforts to correct what they said seemed to be interpreted as lying... because it conflicted with the original notes (but not any factual conflict).

It is mind boggling that any of the suggestions were needed.

In the meantime the folks running the department investigating the reports are also tasked with writing the rules, investigating, judging....and on their own time advocating for various policies surrounding sexual assault.
This looks like it will replace Consolas for me. I like the zero and that l and 1 are very easy to distinguish.

Haha, I had an interview many years ago in Australia, was a full 2 hour technical interview in MS technologies. Nailed all the C#/.NET/SQL Server questions. Nailed everything they threw at me. I felt really proud of myself because I thought I was doing very well.

After they were done with me I started asking questions. I asked what they would have me doing?

Yes, of course. I do get that rape used to be almost accepted. Or getting women intoxicated enough, voluntarily, that they'd want to have sex. Or at least, wouldn't remember that they didn't want to have sex.

Or just plain seduction. Getting women excited enough that they'd want to have sex. I recall an intimate conversation with a female friend, who shared that she'd never let a guy touch her breasts, unless she wanted to have sex. Because once she did, and he did, she would.

Even that could be borderline, if there's a premeditated intent to seduce. Yet seduction is often a consensual process. But maybe not consensually with the goal of sex. And there's where it gets crazy.

Anyway, I was thinking more about being cautious regarding sexual politics. As in researching the potential partner's social media history. Or just introducing the issue in a casual way, and seeing what they say.

For personal archival I think Blu-ray is still best. I think of it as a supplement to S3 or Dropbox. Even if you end up re-writing discs it is very cheap per GB, and 25 or 50 GB discs are comfortable for “normal” personal sizes (my entire file set that I care to keep around is around 100 GB — mostly because I’m not careful about deleting old node_modules from ancient projects I’ve done)
Agreed. Gaming-oriented discords (or their predecessors, mumble, teamspeak, skype) are often a social networks of their own - complete with the social drama that often comes with social networks. I love games, but I've never felt comfortable in any gaming group due to the fact that being female in one of those groups almost always means you end up getting a special sort of attention or making others uncomfortable by your presence. My husband has been in a few of these groups throughout the years though, so I often listen in since he plays through the speakers. Some groups are more competitive and oriented to a specific game, others are just groups of friends who pick a game based on who's around and what games they have, but the social aspect is critical in each. In competitive ones people typically want to prove themselves as valuable teammates, while in casual ones people just want to share a experience with friends. The one huge difference I have seen between gaming social groups and social media though is that it's typically much easier to ditch your gaming group since you don't always have connections to those people in other ways. It's more socially acceptable to say you just changed gaming preferences when you want to avoid interacting with certain people who play that game, meanwhile deleting your whole social media profile or blocking a bunch of people is more prone to being judged harshly.

So I think the article is way off base with dismissing the social aspect of games as a major draw for guys. But there are truths to there being significant differences in the way the social networks manifest. My personal hypothesis would be it's related to differences in the "stickiness" of the platforms over which communication primarily occurs now.
I’ve been hearing quite a lot of praise for Win10 in the last few years, but in reality my colleagues are cursing it daily and bashing their heads against basic dev stuff that works nice and dandy with Macs or with Linux. Win10 may be ok for running Microsoft’s current flagship, Office and maybe games but otherwise I wouldn’t want to spend time with fighting against the OS.

And no, in my opinion WSL is not real solution if the OS still makes life harder and more weird. Just a new twist to the cygwin/mingw/virtualisation scheme when running the real thing would be a lot better option.

And no, Macs and Linux are not perfect either, but they both are more friendly and humane options for developers.
The "25% Jewish" figure is based on decades-old data from Hillel (an umbrella organization of Jewish campus organizations). In a 2016 survey, 14% of Harvard students identified as Jewish. [1] More recent surveys indicated <10%. [2]

It's common in the "sports watch" side of things from the likes of Garmin. I'm not sure how well they do for things like the elderly falling though, they're more targeted at bike crashes and the like.
Historical reasons are always arbitrary. Because it's arbitrary to keep an old law that's past its usefulness alive. I understand attempts like Amish, where there is a clear social goal, but in Orthodox Judaism it's nowhere near as clear. It feels like a culture isolate kept to be a culture. This was important when the diaspora was new, dispersed and persecuted.

Prohibitions against work were made because Jewish people have been exploited to exhaustion by enslaving Egyptians and additionally to make a day for worship. It's self-serving, though. not altogether bad. The exact rules made were quite arbitrary though, less exacting rules suffice to keep a day off and as "work" gets easier, the prohibitions should be delicately relaxed without essentially cheating around strict letter.

The thing about both (some) Amish and (most) Orthodox Jews is the scorched earth approach. If they wanted to prevent the problem such as the excess, there are better solutions like limits. Time and amount.

I mean, they act like businesses, and in most cases they very explicitly legally are businesses. They accept money in exchange for services. If not a business, what would you classify them as?
ClickHouse is another favourite
This is exactly why we all need to be incredibly judicious in what we expose ourselves to -- the people we surround ourselves with with family, work, and social life, the content we read, watch or listen to, and the emotions we absorb from the communities around us.

Sometimes our filters can handle it all, a lot of times it can't. And a lot of modernity, with always-connected internet devices, outrage porn "news", and sky-is-falling political hacks everywhere, can be overwhelming and frankly exhausting.

I always recommend disconnecting, taking a breather, and enjoying the serenity of quiet. Not working in toxic environments with crummy colleagues, and certainly not being dragged into the daily grind of content farm media companies. It's a huge benefit to one's mental health and emotional stability.
