American media mostly got the story wrong, because they trusted the American government to be honest. But a lot of foreign media didn't get the story wrong, because they didn't blindly trust the American government.

I don't see being lied to as much of an excuse. It's their job to be skeptical, and they chose not to be.

Ah, okay. So at least one of the two parties is corrupt.
Two minutes multiplied by even a hundred people more than makes up for the time spent scripting this. That's just sort of how hackers do.
BUGS
The -F option is not necessary given the command line variable assignment feature; it remains only for backwards compatibility.

EXAMPLES
Print and sort the login names of all users:

BEGIN { FS = ":" }
{ print $1 | "sort" }

The above is from the GAWK manpage. FWIW, the first example under EXAMPLES uses FS not -F.

There is nothing wrong with using FS instead of -F.
The US had a pretty extensive foodstamps program. It still exists but is slowly getting killed off. Even so there are multiple states in which 20% of the population has their food paid for by the government.

That's a rather polemic way of talking about this topic. No one but a strawman actually talks about "free shit" or "no-cost", it is about social distribution of burdens for these extreme cases. Paying a reasonable price for drinkable water through i.e municipal water companies seems to fit your "responsibility" requirement. Paying 25% or more of your _yearly_ income for a medical bill because you had bad luck...not so reasonable in my opinion and has nothing much to do with "responsibility". And let's not pretend it is about no costs or free things, everyone is paying for it through taxes according to their means.
Are you seriously suggesting to let someone on disabilities or social security starve to death cause those are essentially your "no-cost food and water" slogans. This notion of "having the government provide" shows the twisted view on government, it's not a separate entity the money comes from society, society is providing, is that such a bad thing for a society?

You actually don't need explicit types in function parameters unless you're trying to control dispatching. Otherwise the compiler will auto-specialize on call. This blog post might be a better explanation on when it's necessary: https://www.stochasticlifestyle.com/type-dispatch-design-pos...

What is the benefit of a request mocking framework versus hiding all api requests behind a module?

Instead of

// MyComponent.js
const users = await fetch(...

Use this

// MyComponent.js
const users = await api.getUsers()

// api.js
export default {
getUsers() {
return fetch(...
}
}

To mock, you replace the entire api module (or individual functions).

Waking Up Is Hard to Do
This is cool. Mockability is one reason I've been so heavily biased to choosing GraphQL for my backend APIs recently. GraphQL makes it super easy to (a) first define a contract between client and server, and then (b) front end teams can trivially mock this out to develop the front end while the backend team actually implements the API.

Glad to see something like mirage solving this across all different types of API frameworks.

Americans have a kneejerk aversion to any sort of taxes because they have been conditioned to think that any sort of public good is communism, and therefore evil, and that they are therefore righteous for protesting against it.

And they have been conditioned to accept certain exceptions, like the military, or corporate welfare.

That is evidence that the problem could be corrected, with correct (and ubiquitous) messaging, but we are competing against fifty years of effort and most of the major media outlets.

Contrary to many of the responses you've got, the real answer is that it's just a convention with no particular reason other than historical cultural preference. For evidence, I present R: it looks like C syntactically, but all constructs actually desugar into function calls (even assignments!). And function calls themselves are also C-style - f(x, y) - but once it's parsed, the result is a "pairlist", which is exactly what it sounds like to any Lisper. So any R program is represented as nested lists, with constants and symbols as leaf nodes, exactly as in Lisp.
It took the NYTs over 50 years to admit their/Walter Duranty's denial of the Holodomor was bullshit. Who is to say this is the only time a lie might go unchallenged in American media for decades?

> Weaker struts were actually used than called for in the design, and that's on the construction manager rather than the architect.

I was wondering if something like that was the case. It's common practice among structural engineers that they will not inspect the building because then they are liable if they don't catch deviations in construction from what they made calculations for.

I definitely think some of the effects falls into “if you have the option, you might exercise upon it” effect.

The US makes it easier for people to own a car as a non-primary form of transportation than much of Europe. Taxes, licensing, insurance, fuel, and used vehicle prices are all comparatively cheaper, and parking spaces are more abundant.

Germany for example, requires more than 550 times the amount of automobile bodily injury insurance than my state here in the US. Pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to afford to have a car just sitting around for occasional use if I lived there.
> one can demonstrate that the structure of general relativity essentially follows inevitably from the quantum mechanics of interacting theoretical spin-2 massless particles (called gravitons)

While this is technically true, it doesn't help much, since the quantum theory described is not considered a viable candidate for a fundamental theory of gravity for a number of reasons.

> We did observed gravitational waves of GR. A force field with waves mediating that force interactions

We have observed classical gravitational waves. We are many, many orders of magnitude away from being able to measure any possible quantum properties of those waves.

> that requires just a bit of math to "quantize" it

Math (more than "a bit") can quantize it in theory. But theory is not enough. We would actually have to observe the quantum properties experimentally to confirm the theory.

They understand that you are part of the cohort that doesn't want to be monetized. Which is the reason they don't change it for you, because the efforts required to remove this cohort from tracking and still serve useful search results are a lot higher than what they think people would pay for.

But let's surprise them. I personally would be willing to pay up to 10k per decade of my remaining life expectancy to opt out completely. Upfront payment, right now. A package deal including Amazon would be even better, maybe for 50% more?

I think at one point people need to put a price point to their privacy, otherwise nothing changes. The market has no incentive for this change right now. And yes, that would mean that privacy is a luxury for people who can afford it, which is not what I would like to see, especially since I remember the times when you had privacy by default when going online. But I can't imagine how it can become a fundamental right under the current market conditions.
> At low speeds relative to the speed of light, they have the same accuracy don't they?

When measuring signal (ie radio, light, gravity) from slow speed perspectives, newtonian physics is not as accurate - https://futurism.com/newtonian-physics-vs-special-realtivity - Eg we actually need to account for it between gps sattelites and we do so from the perspective of GR as well as the recent evidence of gravity propogation being restricted to localization (ie roughly the speed of light)

> Can you give me an example of "media and establishment are repeatedly caught misleading the public"?

Look up every war we've been involved in. The media/establishment lied. Try Nayirah testimony if you want to get started. If you want more recent, look up the anti-venezuelan NYTimes piece by Joanna Hausmann, a minor youtuber. Why was she given a platform on the NYTimes? Oh because her father is an ousted former venezuelan central banker behind the coup attempts in venezuela. Did NYTimes mention this? Of course not. But then again, what more do we expect from the NYTimes which supported the first coup of Chavez. Why is an "objective" newspaper behind a coup attempt in a foreign country? Because the NYTimes was founded by bankers to support bankers interests.

Go look up the lies the media peddled on the syria war and the chemical attacks. Notice how they went quiet about that?

Look up the libya war. Look at the lies peddled about venezuela.

> My impression is the whole "media is lying" is a narrative furthered by Fox

That's because you watch too much CNN/MSNBC or read too much NYTimes/WashingtonPost. You have that impression because you've been brainwashed ( just like the poor fox news viewers you pity ). You aren't any better than what you disdain.

The "media is lying" is as old as the country.

"As for what is not true you will always find abundance in the newspapers." – Thomas Jefferson

"Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle." – Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson was a free speech proponent who hated the lying press.

We even have a famed period in history named for the lying press and journalists.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_journalism

These predate fox news by more than a hundred years. You can generally trust the media to tell the truth about innocuous or unimportant events. The media, especially the highly regarded ones, lie about important events.

So if you are getting important news from dyspotian 1984 sounding "authoritative sources", know that you are being lied to.

You're ragging on public transit because you feel you have to pay for something you don't use.

What about my taxes that go to paying for roads I don't drive on? There's no way the $~200 car registration is covering all the costs involved in maintaining an extensive road network.

On top of that, while we’re counting up taxes I pay for which I do not receive a direct benefit: on the odd chance I did drive in my own neighborhood, why should I be paying taxes to subsidize all the roads in every other neighborhood.

The point I’m making is: you can get as petty as you want in comparing what you pay with what you get, but in the long term, do you really want to live in a society that can’t have nice things because there’s one person who might just benefit slightly more from them than you can?

Are Americans already so far down the road of considering public transit beneath them, that the only people who use it must not be able to afford cars, so it's not reducing car usage so it's OK to hate on?
I think the key thing is that tools won't make people good at communicating. That needs to happen as either a life lessons or job training.

Something tooling can do though is help give cues. If I'm wearing headphones in an office frowning at the screen that's likely to change how people come up to me compared to if I'm clearly having a break. When remote those aren't around so you can't tell if I'm knee deep in diagrams and code or (say) hitting unsubscribe from as many emails as I can. Making those things clear to others is something tooling can improve on - but there's not much that can stop people contacting you if they're determined.

25 of 50 states ban the practice, in the rest you are responsible for negotiating and fixing the billing discrepancy.

This kind of issue should be taken into account when choosing an insurance plan. If you choose one which has a restricted network, you have to be more diligent about where you get your care in emergencies.

Medical billing is nonsense though. Just because someone sends you a bill does not mean you owe it or will ever have to pay it. This is one of those details and rare occurrences which get way out into the weeds and doesn't really support the argument of which type of health care your country should provide. There are similar edge cases in social medicine where some situation or another is appalling. Extreme cases need to be handled, but unless they are common, they shouldn't drive the debate.

>Either way, it does not support the original claim I disputed that "Immutable structures still require locking".

It does, if you believe serialization by locking is the main strategy to handle serialization (in which case, mutable or immutable, you still need to lock), and so... you still need locking. Serialization being the main scenario GP gave.

Your original answer didn't resolve the problem either -- fine, you didn't need to lock when adding elements to your immutable structure, but you still haven't reached serialization; you've just pushed the problem back another step.

The answer that I believe GP would need to correct his understanding, (and much more importantly, the answer that I'm interested in :-) is what serialization strategies does immutable datastructures enable, if not locking?

The other correction GP seems to require is whether serialization is actually that important in general, and whether functional programmers tend to experience otherwise... But I don't care about that answer :-)

Twitter was the most useful social network for me personally, depending on who you follow you can come across some interesting ideas there.

The recommendation that people talk more to strangers should be accompanied by a warning that it can be a significant annoyance to no longer be surrounded by complete strangers when in public, and instead have people you've voluntarily conversed with previously, and may expect you to not ignore them in the future.

I generally like to keep to myself and focus on my own interests. In the past I've dabbled with being more social with strangers at cafes I would frequent. The end result was I stopped going to those cafes because it became a nuisance, since I felt obligated to speak with the people I'd spoken with before, but really had zero interest in speaking with regularly. They would start sitting by me while I was at my laptop working, and wanting to make small talk whenever they saw me.
