The big thing for intelligence is that now they track everybody. It doesn't matter if they think you are relevant or not, if at some time you become, they already have plenty of material to blackmail you.
It seems deliberate:

"While Nim's support for object oriented programming (OOP) is minimalistic, powerful OOP techniques can be used. OOP is seen as one way to design a program, not the only way."

In MSSQL prepared statements are not really used because its unnecessary. MSSQL hashes incoming SQL statements and looks for them in the plan cache and reuses automatically. It also looks at connections setting and does parameter sniffing to decided whether to use existing plans.

You can still do prepared statements with MSSQL but its mainly there for backward compatibility.

I was actually surprised to find PG didn't do this recently and only had prepared statements and can't share plans across connections.
I’m as certain as I can be that few if any companies will be willing to invest (hundreds of) millions into projects to build some custom solution just to risk losing the bid in the end. And in top of that they would have a product that may have 0 demand elsewhere. Imagine if your employer told you they’ll hire you after you successfully deliver a project to test your worth. You’d think it’s a joke.

And anyway most costs are incurred during the lifetime of the project, after you proved yours is the best solution, with endless change requests, delays that require additional money, etc. The companies bidding usually have far more experience at syphoning money than the client has at holding on to it.

It is an option (full pay, no black marks at work) for a lot of people. That was the setup for professionals in all large companies that I worked for and people would still come to work really sick and spread the good stuff around. Grrrr!
For things like vi, I'm developing the "left handed mouse" analogy:

Many mice are ambidextrous (e.g. the Apple puck). Most are weakly right-handed with a slightly assymetrical shape. Some are very strongly right-handed (e.g. vertical mice) and can't be used sensibly in the left hand. So left-handed mice also exist.

Some people are naturally left-handed. We (as a civilisation) used to treat this as aberrant but have now recognised it, and that different tools suit different people.

I believe that something similar exists in programming tooling in relation to how people think about programs. There are clearly some people who have a strong, unusual "handedness" and have developed tools to match (e.g. Colorforth). A few people discover these and find them amazingly usable. Most other people find them baffling.

Consider the three propositions:

a) Jimi Hendrix played guitar in the wrong way with the strings in the wrong positions

b) Jimi's configuration was correct and everyone else was wrong, because he's producing the objectively best music

c) Jimi was left handed, and had constructed an accomodation which worked for him but should not be expected to work for anyone else

Far too many discussions of programming tools devolve into (a) versus (b), largely because people want there to be an objective ranking of who the best programmer is and what the best tools are, rather than allowing for diversity of (programmer x tool).

The fatality rate is on par with the flu, except in older patients (over 60) where it is currently higher.

Ironic that you should bring up flu vaccination...despite the risk of death from flu being the average person’s greater concern (by far), we
still have to beg people to get vaccinated, and the rates are low.

I’d wager that most of the folks fear-mongering about covid-19 on this thread haven’t had a flu shot this year.
Personally, I'm suspicious of Signal because of its publicity, smells like a pot of honey.
We started using Wire before signal few years ago. it was light and we loved the dark interface. Then it got bulky and my Android phone killed it too often to be any useful. Then we switched to signal, it was bare bones, but it was light and didn't miss notifications

I think it's even possible to get a sick leave from a business you own in some European countries.

But how about if you run the business on your own, and you're concerned that if you take two weeks off the business will lose many customers who won't come back?

(I was shocked when I saw the they put the name of the illness on the note. That's so far from my employers business that it should be illegal to even ask. Employees and consumers rights in Germany seem to be seriously limited.)

Many view sanctions as war crimes because sanctions, though they superficially target officials/companies/etc, are meant to undermine a nation's economy and hurt the civilian population to pressure foreign governments. Essentially the goal is to starve the men, women and children in order to punish foreign governments. If it was iran or china or russia doing it, we would be calling it a war crime or a crime against humanity. But since we are doing it, we just call it "economic warfare".

The problem is that WebAssembly exists for other languages to be compiled into.

And those other languages don't agree what a string looks like.

So do you have a Rust string? Or a C string? Or a C# string? Or one of the other representations?

By just giving you a bunch of bytes to play with, and letting different languages use them differently, WebAssembly stays out of the way and lets the compiler decide how it wants to make strings.
Because it's really powerful, and some people actually like it (I'm one of them).

I can understand that a complex pattern might look scary if you're unfamiliar, but if you work with it long enough, you can put patterns together with relative ease.
There are many things which I disagree with in this comment and some things that I don't think are relevant at all, but the statement that "[sic: The] BBC these days with the rise of the internet only benefits the few who watch TV, forcing everyone to fund it is basically thief" is particularly problematic.

The BBC does a lot more than just produce content for TV broadcast. BBC News, BBC Weather, BBC Sport, Bitesize (online educational resources), all of the radio stations.
Hmm. Gorogoa. Its puzzles are trivial in comparison. Byeing visual puzzles with only a few simple order of operations additions, they're hard to make harder. The game does not force exploration either.

It's more like a puzzle visual novel than adventure game. (And you have no agency in it really.)

Bastion – Highly-available distributed fault-tolerant runtime
That’s an interesting strategy and may be a hack around the tax law changes for some people.
A few ideas:

* Guesstimation:Solving the World's Problems on the Back of a Cocktail Napkin. Math is a tool. Start using it with some simple arithmetic and scientific notation. Once it becomes something you can use and play in that context, everything else becomes a lot easier. This is water cooler talk and is something actually usable immediately.

* Speed Mathematics Simplified. From the 1960s. Wonderful book about doing arithmetic from left to right. Also has some good stuff about decimals/fractions/percents as well as checksums. Being quick with arithmetic and getting that number sense makes everything else easier.

* Burn Math Class. Gives an appropriate viewpoint for a lot of math. Gets a little whacky as it goes on, but the core ideas should help you take ownership of math.

* ... gap not sure what to put in ... Maybe Precalculus in a Nutshell... But play around with GeoGebra. Exploring geometry, trigonometry, and precalculus visually is key to getting an intuition about. Get to know the behaviors of the functions, but don't get lost in trig identities or solving random algebraic equations. Things like Newton's method (or the Secant Method) are more important for learning about than lots of arbitrary algebraic simplifications (they can be important too)

* Vector Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Differential Forms: A Unified Approach. At some point, if you mastered K-12 math and want to get a good mix of theory and application and efficiency, this book by John and Barbara Hubbard is really quite nice. It puts linear algebra in one of its primary contexts of being the main foundation for solving nonlinear systems.

Given that there are 470,000 words in the Webster's English dictionary, there are plenty of alternatives to show magnitude without using a word that invokes trauma in many.

the iranian government should have thought about the consequences before making threats of developing nukes. stop taking sides with dictatorships and star worrying more about the people of iran murdered by that barbarian regime.

>The difference is how malleable the internet infrastructure is compared to the real world.

Just put up cameras with facial recognition everywhere, require every citizen to have biometric IDs (face from multiple angles, fingerprints, DNA), make covering your face illegal and bam you catch like 99% of bike thieves.

>Would ransomware have taken off like it has without bitcoin?

Probably, yeah. Gift cards work well too for example (they're just not as convenient), and I'm sure there are plenty of other ways to transfer money too if you're willing to incur like 50% transaction losses.

>Is there some technical change to bitcoin that could make it less attractive to bad guys?

Bitcoin already tracks every transaction ever. You'd have to somehow prevent mixers from existing, but I'm not sure how that'd be possible.

It seems unprecedented in my lifetime, which, in case of matters of health, is all I care about.

Spanish Flu might have killed 100M but that doesn't affect me. This thing does.
Yes, a small number of cases could go unnoticed. But you were talking about large clusters. Say 100 people are infected and 15 turn up at hospital with difficulty breathing. For at least one of them, a doctor is going to take a history and notice the characteristic progression (this disease is the most famous disease in the world right now), then report it to their health authority. The large % of cases that require hospitalisation is a terrifying aspect of COVID-19, but it does increase the chance of detection.
The OS is US based too and they could easily keylog everything. Even if you wipe out the OS for a self-compiled one, there are blobs running full blown OS in the hardware and it has access to every single hardware resource, good luck getting rid of that one without building your own hardware and drivers from scratch.
> Unfortunate, brand loyalty doesn't mean anything anymore

> sometimes, the same product, between two batches, is not produce by the same sub-contractor

This is how branding has always been. Gomorrah details the manufacturing process for high-end fashion brands: any number of clothing factories simultaneously accept a contract to deliver X items of clothing in Y time at Z unit price, the brand gives free materials to everyone who accepts, and the first factory to deliver the X items gets paid. Every other factory who accepted is stuck with a bunch of clothing rejected not for quality reasons, but because they turned it in slower than the first factory.

A lot of that clothing is then sold by organized crime using unauthorized brand labels. But is a shirt with a fake Calvin Klein label -- manufactured for Calvin Klein exactly to their specifications -- really "counterfeit"?
On the other hand, German public money had been the most important sponsor of GPG for quite a while. Unfortunately that stopped long ago, I guess all the reasons for that can be broken down to "it was too cheap" in one way or another...

When you try to buy software like this through conventional state procurement mechanism you'll inevitably waste a lot of money, but it would be really cheap to "grow" it through supporting an environment where that can happen. Why doesn't Werner Koch have a position in academia? Third party funding of whole departments is commonplace and is always a blind bet trusting that the grantees will come up with something rewarding.
sure, let them develop an economy and build nukes / destabilise the region even more. if anything there is already a bad experience with saudi arabia, and we dont want a repeat. the people of iran if they dont support that murderous government should overthrow it. simple as.

This is a more detailed explanation of what fractals actually are, and what mathematics actually mean by 'fractals are everywhere in nature': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gB9n2gHsHN4

It might help connect some dots. Short version:

simple rules -> can create self-similar shapes -> which can have fractal dimension -> cellular automata can create fractals

but

nature -> creates shapes which have fractal dimensions

does not mean that the processes that create fractal shapes in nature are based on simple rules or cellular automata (but that's not to say they aren't!)
Not working while ill is a fundamental human right, and as such is implemented in all European jurisdictions. There are very, very few cases when you can't exercise this right.

Hacker News runs on a single machine, apparently.
By assuming margin you increase your short-term debt service, increase your expected expenses in an emergency and reduce your available credit while being limited in your access to funds in downturns because of margin calls. That undermines the strategy. In the example, you'd get the same net effect in terms of less-ability to weather emergencies and increased market exposure without having to pay margin interest by just reducing the emergency fund by 1 month's after-tax pay.

It's really buttery smooth if I disable the recognition part and just leave in the detection. Since it's demo project (something I just wanted to experiment with), my focus hasn't been on optimizing it. Lots of improvements could be brought to it.
You can try Pascal. I switched from BASIC to Pascal 30 years ago then to C 5 years later. And even though C has been my everyday language for 2.5 decades for all my projects, Pascal was still the one that provided me the most natural mental model and that was the easiest to learn by practicing without lessons. I used to code as I thought without being interrupted thinking about stupid stuff like "I need a buffer to store this argument and to verify its length, ah shit I then need the ability to return an error if it's too large". In TP7 you even had "break" and "continue" statements that were missing from previous ones, that made it closer to C and a real joy to work with. The code was quite clean and extremely readable even with few comments.
apparently the government itself is disputing these figures:

There are multiple forces at play. On the one hand, as you note, it takes time for people to die, which could initially bias the fatality rate downward. On the other hand, a lot of milder cases will be missed entirely, which would bias the rate upward. My understanding is that the latter factor is considered more significant in the early stages of an epidemic like this.

I certainly learned vi from vi (or I guess vim to be specific). The start page says "type :help or press <F1>", which led me to the help pages (and maybe doing vimtutor, can't quite remember), and then I "learned vi(m)" just working at it, poking and prodding at the various corners (and the manual for is excellent). No Google, no stack overflow, no teacher. Later I started looking up other peoples configurations and stuff, as well as some advanced guides, but I was already basically proficient at that point.

On the other hand: I don't see what's so bad about a product for professionals where you might need a teacher to help you learn. Photoshop is not a simple product to use if you've never interacted with it before and most users go through some tutorial or has a teacher or something. It doesn't mean that Photoshop has bad UX. This goes for lots of software made for professional use: try learning Autodesk Maya or Avid without external resources, I dare you.
