No, we're stuck with a "government" that's lost every vote they called, and a no-deal crash out looks the only option. Realistically that was always the only option without moving some of those infamous "red lines", or accepting Theresa May's deal. I don't see room for anything else.

So the no-deal that was explicitly ruled out during the referendum campaign. The Swiss invalidate referendums when the electorate haven't been given correct information.

I can only speak about Germany. While some form of searching at the border is legal, the power of border police and customs agents are much more restricted than those of the US counterparts, especially when it comes to cases without adequate suspicion.

Most people don’t actually care about this issue, though. Whether or not they should is a different debate, but at the end of the day, people want a solid laptop that works, and even if people did care, I don’t blame them for valuing more short-term things like “I need a MacBook for my job” vs. more long-term, abstract things like “we shouldn’t import autocratic Chinese censorship”.

We can have a world where companies produce good products and act in accordance with democratic, liberal ideology.

In my opinion, the problem isn't that people hate on Billionaires for philanthropic acts, but increasing wealth gap. In other words - very fact that billionaires exist.
The '70%' regime was then reinvesting all those profits right back into their businesses to avoid those taxes, which spurred job growth and R&D innovation.

The simple reality is that today's "regime" simply stockpiles that wealth for their own benefit and then gives out a few token amounts to charitable causes and thinks that will stave off the pitchforks when the uprising begin.

Giving money to charity doesn't cleanse your soul of it's moral responsibility to society. As abrasive as it sounds, it may very well be true that if someone is in the position to be giving out millions to charitable foundations that end up making a lot of people fat from managing them, maybe they took too much in the first place.

It’s quite funny and sad (no disrespect to OP or anybody) how people is still discovering what we people on fish take for granted. We can even auto-complete parameters only if we so wish. No need for any hidden setting, no need to install any additional (and usually heavy) packages. Built-in, baby.

I don’t have too many functions, so I cannot really say which one is really better as far as scripting goes, but with enough aliases and fish built-in functionalities, you’re pretty much set.

Not that I'm aware of, it's just how it is. Everything is ephemeral, so we allow ourselves to love in the knowledge that it is not forever, and that when it ends, no matter how it ends, it will be painful. To love something is to extend your concept of self to encompass it, and when it is gone it will be as though a piece of yourself has been torn from you. We accept this inevitability regardless, because to love is better than the alternative.
To be honest, if I was a reviewer, and somebody sent the first NMR paper to me, I'd reject it. It was a truly crazy idea that came out of war tech. Even when I did NMR in the 90s, it was still pretty crazy: you have a supercooled superconducting magnet and put a sample into a spinning buffer of air, then bombard it with radiowaves and listen for the echo. The echo, if carefully deconvolved, provides unbelievably fine details on the electrically shielded nuclear environment.

Did I mention it was a 23T superconducting supercooled magnet, where you inject charge (electrons) and they swirl around without neglible resistance for months at a time?

> More expensive than any public system, with worse outcomes for the general population.

US public schools are also more expensive than any public system, with worse outcomes for the general population. These are operated by the government.

There is little evidence that making a service "public" will make it less expensive to operate, quite the opposite. The underlying cause of relatively expensive US services is not who is operating it, as they are expensive no matter who does.

Brexit will fuck the poor but they are supporting it. I think that tells you all you need to know.
IIRC Mario 1 works by drawing "sprites" of tiles. The level data says "pipe at 73,30" where pipe is a 2x3 array of the tile ids that make a pipe or "cloud at 34,3" where cloud is a 3x2 array of tile ids. I don't know what percentage of NES games used a technique like that. AFAIK the majority of NES games with scrolling levels used a simple 2D tile map but Mario 1 does not. I shipped a NES game, ours had an MMC3 chip which if I recall gave us +8k ram for a total of 10k. We decompressed the current level's tile map into a portion of that.

It’s a build system. That might not be very exciting to you, but for large projects and multi-language projects it is usually much better than other build systems.

It is designed to help give you fast distributed builds with high shared cache hit rates, reproducible builds, and a lot of tools to analyze dependencies.

Personally, I like using it any time a project starts using multiple languages, protobufs, or generated sources.

I test and deploy in Docker containers because the artifact that's produced is simpler to deal with. I don't have to specify packages in a Chef cookbook or Ansible playbook, then figure out how to best automate the running of those, then figure out how to do it fast enough to support rapid deploys. And while I run Fedora locally, it presents an abstraction layer that's sufficient, in the 99% case, that developers on a Mac can test predictably; as a trivial example, the Dockerfile specifies an informal but strong interface with regards to environment variables, configuration files, and network ports. (That goes down to like 95% with Windows, but I haven't worked on it with WSL2 yet.)

Treating Docker containers as artifacts--as Configurable, Better Tarballs--by itself is a significant improvement for much of the non-JVM world, and even does have some benefits for the JVM world as well.

Trying to do local dev in it is silly, IMO, but there's real value to shipping Docker containers to wherever you want to actually run the thing.

> I was referring to your benchmark hitting exactly the functional scope of your library while it's invoking more generic libraries that by extension have to do more work for the same functional result

ok that's fair but that overhead is immense, and you end up paying it regardless of whether it's needed or not. obviously uPlot is opinionated and is fast because of this. i'm not here to pry anyone's favorite charting lib from them. all i'm showing is what's possible if you dont need to be generic and cater to everyone.

i dont think i ever said label measuring/collision detection is a performance hog. compared to the work of doing the plot itself, it's insignificant. avoiding that work is more of a code size and complexity reduction for uPlot, rather than a perf opt.

how else could i possibly present a benchmark of uPlot without limiting the alternatives to its own functional scope? that would be like comparing 0-60 on a formula 1 vs a mini-van and claiming the results to be invalid because the minivan can fit 7 people but the formula 1 cannot. that fact is made abundantly clear upfront.
I think there's a real misconception around "Deep work" being only for developers. I think the concept can be applied to any function.

I agree with your point in its final form. Unfortunately it doesn’t work at the moment since you at least need to convince some tens of millions Chinese people who have been lifted from poverty under CCP during past 30 years, or you have to wait until Chinese government make things much worse. Before that, some sanction move from western might be viewed as political coercion from mainland Chinese people’s perspective and we probably could guess what it’ll lead to (wars).

I think it’s good enough now to exert influence from HK &Taiwan or China’s neighbors, but I do think any other move is dangerous

'No one cares about Lincoln.' Really?!!

I beg to differ. He is considered the greatest president our country has ever had. He did everything he could to keep the country together during a very tenuous time. I do think that some people care about Lincoln.
Thank you for the context, but I find it hard to believe that the HK Chief Executive was not influenced by or seeking favor with China when making the law. Also, this seems to ignore the question of Taiwan's sovereign status and assume they are part of China.

Speaking more factually, China has used unrelated charges to arrest and imprison political dissidents for years now. This is a known phenomenon, and likely the reason behind the protestor's concerns about extradition. The promise not to use the law for political crimes is worthless knowing that history.

Bullying was not prevalent in my school. But I did notice an abrupt change from elementary school. Before middle school grades were meaningless. Middle school was when kids started to be grouped into advanced and not advanced groups and your grades started to matter (not really but it felt like they did at the time). A large problem for me was the sudden collective understanding from kids and parents that most of them weren’t as special, smart, or talented as they thought. Middle school was the first time kids had to internalize that they were not particularly good at things and likely never would be.
In the topic of classifying build systems, there was a really interesting paper about that published at ICFP last year

I had a turning point with climate change when I realized carbon emissions almost definitely won't transform Earth into a martian wasteland incapable of supporting life. The natural ecosystem adapts to ice ages, meteors, and other world altering events, and the planet without us would probably revert to something lush and diverse in a few millennia.

I still cannot explain why, but shifting the perspective in my mind from "Humanity is Earth's savior" to "Humanity is Earth's abusive consumer" was a humbling epiphany, and helped me learn to revere nature.

I'm running a version which is not yet vulnerable to file system destruction (also mine still is case-sensitive as it started), and is not vulnerable to critical discoveryd/mDNSResponder and Mail bugs.

Running current versions is rarely advisable. Just see the gcc-9 disaster.
I was reading economic drivel yesterday that indicated high debt-to-GDP could be making interest payments out of worker productivity increases, which would explain flat buying power (non)growth.

No society is going to be able to offer freedom defined as "being able to do whatever you want".

I call it freedom because I see people exercising it. What is the point of a "freedom" if you can't afford to exercise it?

Are you free to send your children to play in sports if you're afraid that your child getting injured will financially ruin you? Are you free to participate in activities yourself if you're teetering on the edge and one unexpected expense will result in having to move out of a good school district, and result in significantly altering your child's chances of future success?

Are you free to participate in your community after you spend 90 min per day commuting after working an 8 to 10 hour day, resulting in nothing else than eating, saying hello-good night to the family, and going to bed?

Are you free to take care of your loved ones in case something should happen to them if you can't afford to go without a paycheck because there is no safety net?

But yes, I guess it is nice to take advantage of the minuscule chance that I'd be in a situation to have to shoot a thief.
