We use 'crutch' mostly as a pejorative these days but by the original meaning, it's a temporary measure to produce a long-term benefit. It's only when you try to use it past its responsible interval that it becomes a harm. You are supposed to observe that the thing no longer serves a meaningful purpose. Which is very different from saying it served no purpose.

If you don't want to end up with a messy divorce of your own you have to get out there, observe healthy relationships and try to form some of your own.

But to be fair, our knee-jerk reaction to 'addiction' is abstinence and that philosophy is debilitating. Anyone whose spent any time dealing with addiction (as opposed to just making an ass of yourself by reacting to it) will have at least encountered the concept that you have to crowd out undesirable activities with desirable ones. You don't just 'stop drinking'. You also get too busy to be blitzed all the time.

You may or may not also have to abstain. There are games my friends want to play that I won't because I always get sucked in far deeper and longer than they do. Most alcoholics never touch a drop again. That said, I know a 20 year sober alcoholic who figured out he was self-medicating for anxiety, sought treatment, made big lifestyle changes, and can now have a beer once in a while without hulking out.

1.5 years professional experience mostly using Scala and various AWS services.
Being willing to raise taxes on yourself, and unilaterally volunteering extra taxes are very different things.

You probably know this, as do most people making this argument.
Exactly. It's all posturing so they can make themselves feel good about themselves.

It's like skinny people who complain about how eating will make them balloon up like a whale.

Telegram without GCM is incredibly fast. Compared to my computer with the app/website open, it's at most one second slower, and often times faster at delivering messages, even on battery saver. It also uses less than a percent of my battery per day if I don't open the app, and was 2% of my battery usage in the last two days despite being on the app for close to an hour.
In my last job we were sufficiently sophisticated users of AWS that we routinely had conversations with product managers to learn if specific features were on the roadmap, and if so, if there was an ETA. We had these conversations because we were debating whether we wanted to write a solution of our own, or if we wanted to wait for a generalized one to be released.

That said, the product managers generally left us with information such as "this is actively being worked on", "this is planned work in the upcoming quarter, but it could change", "this is on the roadmap without a date", and "this is not on the roadmap". No specific dates promised, but it was still good enough for our purposes.

I hope they weren't using our requests to push for specific dates, internally.

Informal logic is not necessarily syllogistic. What's more important is exploring distinctions and terms in a dialectical manner.
I really want to know more about "why." Specifically, more about why the design of the system leads to creating tons and tons of empty hashsets.

Leads me to believe that there's lots more meaningful optimizations remaining that someone who better understands the system could implement.
As an Australian resident and now citizen for 20 years, I've been pretty angry since that last federal election. So many people here are still denying man-made global warming, and that includes our own government, which stood in the way of progress at COP25 [1].

Even now, in the midst of unprecedented heat, drought and fire that has gripped this continent for months, if not years, "friends" of mine regularly post the most ignorant climate denialist BS on FB.

Yeah- kind of tangental but it also plays along with how datacenters are transitioning from selling space to selling power. It used to be I'd just rent space by the rack or by the U, and then maybe pay extra for the network connection. Now the space itself is pretty cheap, and the network hookups are unbelievably cheap, but datacenters are actually paying attention to power consumption.

In the case of the DGX-1 I've had datacenters tell me I couldn't put more than two in a rack. We ended up finding a datacenter the specialized in them (Colovore, who I can not recommend highly enough)- their power and cooling systems are some of the most impressive I've ever seen.
They aren’t serious. They know they don’t have enough to matter and their tax attorneys can protect their money in any case. It’s all for bragging rights at the country club for which rich jackass can say he truly cares the most.

But low level languages usually are more verbose. High level languages can afford to be more terse. The WASM code looks very similar to actual x86 assembly to me, and with a name like 'web assembly', that seems right.
My solution would be a fake birdhouse. It could be weatherproof and less conspicuous, and the hole on the front is a natural place to put a camera lens. (You might want to put a fake bird on top or something to dissuade actual birds.)
A static site, with dynamic content where necessary, loaded via XHR requests. If you like, with helpers like Turbolinks, IntercoolerJS or some such.

Actually optmizing and/or caching DB requests so your backend returns a response within 150-200ms max.
the energy cost of a car coming to a full stop is very large though. if you're going to have cars in the city at all, you should have a system of one-way streets with synchronized lights so vehicles rarely come to a full stop. letting pedestrians interrupt this whenever they feel like crossing is not only annoying, but leads to much higher gas consumption.
Solves absolutely nothing because most wealthy people won't do it, and I can't necessarily blame them. If it were me, I'd rather donate money to a specific cause than send more to the fed, and many won't do either voluntarily.

When these people say "I should be paying more in taxes", they mean that the marginal tax rate should be much higher than it is for high levels of income, not that they'd love to throw in an extra couple of million but can't figure out how to do so.
And now Interpol is increasingly used by suspect regimes (not including Japan in that!, but I would include China or Russia, Saudi Arabia) against their political rivals. Because of China's actions, I think Interpol lost a lot of credibility.
Yes, they are - one is just and the other is unjust.
Telegram is GPL, I think it would be worth it to see how they use it, because it honestly is absolutely incredible.
I prefer the laws where its linked to distance ot intersection. Which in practice means you can jaywalk on open roads but not near intersections where the risk is less obvious and cars could catch you out. Good compromise
I remember the article saying he had wanted to go to Mongolia all along and that this was an added bonus to his experience.

>"For a long time, he had dreamed of traveling across Mongolia on a bike. Now that his son was older, why not do it with him?"

The article even says that you do not have to go to Mongolia to do this.

>"You don't have to go all to the other side of the world just to bond with your children, says Caroline Knorr, the parenting editor for Common Sense Media, a non-profit organization that educates parents about media and technology."
Ironically, if this had been raised at the time I bet it would have been shot down as premature optimization!
Note that std::string data representation, and the associated set of small-string optimizations, are highly implementation-dependent; it even differs significantly between clang and gcc's standard libraries. For gcc, std::string size has been 32 bytes on 64-bit targets for the last several years.
No. People would take them seriously if they volunteered the money. Otherwise they’re the people complaining the Earth is on fire while vacationing around the world, burning through a thousand people’s CO2 budget.
In Pulsar, offsets are tracked by the service as part of the bookkeeper data (unless you use the reader API which is only really needed for advanced use cases like Flink), that means we just need to do DR for bookkeepers, which I touch on in another response but the tl:dr; is that we have a 3x replication factor as well as EBS snapshots
I somehow read that as not necessarily implying he started the first flight in Japan, but maybe that was it.
These boards are very cool, and I would happily play with them if I had time. However one thing is a bit mystery to me, what are the use cases more professionally? Obviously there must be lots of non-hobbyist demand for boards like this.
FWIW The data for Milwaukee appears incorrect - the traffic fatalities are for the county of Milwaukee while the density is for the city. Recalculating density based on the land area of Milwaukee county shows 3,934 people per square mile.

It is designed to be able to skip the "tier up JIT" stage that JS code has to go through, where JS code is profiled at runtime to decide what should be optimized, what the types are, etc. `1 + 1` in JS and `(i32.add (i32.const 1) (i32.const 1))` should still result in the same cpu code, the only difference is that it takes longer for the JS code to get there (and there's no guarantee that it happens to the JS code).

Here's the usual story:

1.The rich propose higher taxes for themselves

2.The middle class and the poor approve that gesture, as it's "distribution of wealth"

3.Legislative and executive branches approve higher taxes for people who earn above $100k/year

4.The rich manage to not pay those taxes using all sorts of devices

5.The middle class now pay more taxes

5.The government uses the extra income to grow its own size and support the rich through cronyism

In comparison, Detroit MI in the US has the same population and something like 46 pedestrian fatalities per year.

Very helpful—it is bizarre that people have no idea what whole fat milk is, and that it’s less than double 2% milk.

I wonder if the milk industry prefers people to gravitate towards reduced-fat milk because it leads to more milk consumption/revenue. If we all drank full-fat milk, we’d get full faster and therefore buy less.
This particular training seems like a management aptitude filter for Google.
Over 50% of games on the Switch use Unity, with the remaining ones using Unreal or in-house middleware built on top of NVN.

they actually do this in places like Minneapolis. mainly because it's just too cold to be outside for prolonged periods in the winter. my friend walks almost his entire commute without going outside.
Never mind that this example parses and compiles the wasm code at runtime, so it's probably not faster at all to takes chunks of JS and port it to wasm if you're going to run it this way.

Which eve scam you are referring to?
I was lucky enough to see management get caught in their bullshit during one of these "hard deadlines" when I was just out of school. They said that December 1st was the deadline and that if we didn't get the release out we would lose millions in revenue. People run around like crazy until the end of November when we realize the EULA document is just a place holder and that Legal has not given us the new EULA. All of a sudden the deadline is mid January when we expect to get the new EULA.
Some people are just horrible people. I'd be more surprised to find out this isn't more idiots from 4chan thinking they're funny than to find out it is.

Slightly zestier idea: make a helper function `makeMostlyEmptyHashSet` and a linter rule that warns on `new HashSet`. You can turn off the linter warning with a comment in every linter I've used, and that comment could include a justification for the default sized `HashSet`.
This is why I do it.
Why are they two different things?

If you believe that instead of giving to charity or something that the best use of your money is taxes, why would it matter if there was an official change to the tax code or not?

Leadership would be paying extra taxes regardless of whether or not the taxes are raised across the board.

It feels kind of slimy to me to say "oh yes we should all pay extra taxes but I won't do so unless the government officially raises my tax rate" - uh so you mean you don't believe in paying more taxes unless the government forces you to? Like the rest of us?

It is definitely more along the lines of moral posturing to me. At least I know where someone stands when they don't want taxes to be raised.
Thanks for the added details. (Yes, there's more than enough to try to remember these days.)

Agreed on Brown's sentence. The DDOS attack was a dumb stunt. But that doesn't explain Gottesfeld's current (gagged) situation. Both remind me of Aaron Schwarz, another example of the punishment not fitting the crime. But he was not a journalist; that part is more concerning.

I know of a hearing impaired kid who talks all day to people online because everyone has the same hearing impairment in teleconferencing; we cannot differentiate between two conversations at once. People are forced to take turns or get peer pressured to do so. Few do this in person.

Parents thought he was socially impaired. Turned out he was an organizer and leader among his peer group.
