I’m disappointed 64-bit integers are not mentioned.

That is an unusual omission in a current language, and the add on packages are not always a substitute.

Is anyone here aware if that is planned to be a core addition?
That is your definition of hire but it is not what the actual definition of the word is or implies. You can hire a babysitter, 1099 contractor, W2 employee, day laborer, and so on and so forth.
Point 2. reminds me of some old Eliezer's posts, like "Purchase Fuzzies and Utilons Separately"[0]. It argues that if you're clear and honest about your intent, you'll be more efficient. Using an example of helping others, if you seek both the "warm fuzzy feeling" and actual effect on the world, then the best approach would be to get them separately - e.g. buy the feeling cheaply (e.g. do something directly for someone in your community, maybe help an old lady cross the street or something), and then dump the rest of the money into a maximally effective (in terms of $/impact) cause/charity.

True, you do get string interpolation but the comment support in ConfigParser isn't very good. Although actually they may have fixed some of that in Python 3 but I'm still using workarounds.

To be clear, I am not suggesting using JSON for config, I think that would be my last choice. My point is that ConfigParser isn't really an alternative to rolling your own if you want decent validation etc (those spec files are horrible to use). You very quickly need to start extending ConfigParser to the point where you've started rolling your own. And at that point you'd be better off with one of the other (tested) solutions already suggested.
Instead of been so dismissively negative perhaps let them know?

Open source people tend to appreciate things like that?

Fwiw xubuntu was my default Dev OS for years it's great and what I'd go back to if I didn't have cinnamon/fedora.
Please share any feedback or objections. :)
Actually, that's exactly what I ended up doing.

Using HTML alone ended up being too cumbersome. I needed a single source of truth that I could serialize the data into and JSON ended up being perfect.

I'm still holding out hope for a single XML-like language that can describe web apps in full, however. The tools we use now are way too broad and powerful compared to what you end up implementing with them 99% of the time.
I think you've hit on something with this, for AC. Right now, the world is seemingly more out of control and random than normal, for many people. Nothing they can do, literally nothing they could possibly do (outside suicide) can change the trajectory of their own lives due to something outside of their control.

But in games like AC, you control everything. So it's sort of like a child of abuse developing OCD or some other neurological disorder. It's a coping mechanism. Maybe there's something to that?
My company requires 3 references. Hiring manager does calls those just before offer is made and there is intent. I don't like calling references unnecessarily. There is a form which mostly is about how candidate interacted with co-workers and management and general effectiveness at job. Medical stuff does not come up generally. Personal references do not work well here in general for technical hires unless it's an intern and they worked together on school project or something.
It's lucky I never said that because obviously that would be stupid. However the release of a major version of a popular piece of software should be expected to go beyond the mailing list - and guess what, it being on the front page of HN all morning proves that exact point.
"Politics emerge when the players believe the game is zero sum. In a recession, the players are more likely to believe the game is zero sum."

I'd put emphasis on this, but with the difference that in a recession, it's a negative sum game and not zero sum, which explains why there will definitely be politics.
> Turns out people don't play engines, they play games

is it 100% true though ? I remember a lot of hours spent on Garry's Mod with my friend group as a teen, and that's borderline closer to a game engine than to a game
Do you seriously believe that anyone who is reasonably intelligent can just waltz into a high paying job at Apple or Google by sending them a resume? If so, I'd respectfully suggest that is... probably not the case. (Not that I have firsthand experience. I've never applied to nor been interested in those big tech firms.)

ADDED: I'm sorry, but the people on this thread who are arguing that if you can't get a $200K+ job at Google, you're obviously not even trying have some serious blinders on.
Okay, you think you rent AWS servers?

Are you sure the ones with kids weren't doing playdates and things? I feel like there's often a gulf between people with and without kids.

Of course they didn't go drinking, they had to get home to take care of kids. Or, like me, they don't drink. They might still invite over other families to go hiking or camping or maybe even know other parents from school.

Not saying that was necessarily happening, but now that many more of my friends have kids (I don't) I see them do this all the time. They can't really hang out without a way to distract their kids. Board game nights are much more likely to connect than drinking.
We had to drag them kicking and screaming, but we got them to do it. Good job internet.

I wonder where they keep the voices of common sense at most companies- the ones that realize a company is stronger in the long term if they are upfront with their customers rather than playing games with misdirection and delay tactics.
I do not understand this post.
Speaking of school, being aware of sales/marketing/scam tactics and how to defend against them should be taught very early on.

I have yet to find a use for some advanced math school tried to teach me when I was a teen, while basic life skills like how to manage finances, deal with scams, etc are invaluable.

To be honest most Linux folks giggle on this one as well, it's been more than 12 years that hotplugging screens is not an issue.

The next rant will be: Massive outage because of a bug that was fixed last month. But the fix only shipped to 50% of the hosts, because the deployment system doesn't deploy everywhere by default.

Tail call optimization often doesn't happen when you think it should (in Rust) - when it does work it is not slower, but you can't rely on it. In practice recursive functions, even tail recursive functions, are a performance footgun that will likely result in slower code.

There was a proposal many years ago to add a keyword like "return" that guaranteed tail call optimization to rust. Unfortunately that RFC was never accepted and implemented.
There are legitimate reasons to lower a tip. Tips should come at the end after the service is rendered. If the shopper is aware of it ahead of time it’s more like a bribe than a tip.

I did a similar thing back in 2012 :) but it was only for web games, which run without plugins. Authors of games submit the name of a game, the URL of the game, and the URL of a thumbnail (similar to a PWA manifest).

There is a "gallery" - a store of games. But most importantly, manifests are available as a JSON feed, which anybody can use. It is at http://www.spreadmygame.com/

Most call centres want you off the phone as soon as possible, regardless of whether the problem is solved or not. Making it easy for you to call them isn't in their best interests.
>Powershell is very command-line friendly, with easy tab-completion of commands

I really couldn't agree less. Title-Case with hyphens and verbose command names make it horrible just to type. The only reason I see for doing that is so that it would fit in with the rest of the ecosystem.

Maybe it's a nice scripting language: we already have quite a lot of nice scripting languages.
Since I moved away from the USA, I haven't had a 'proper' Mac 'n Cheese in decades .. but its okay because I've found an alternative which is just as awesome:

* 1 Chopped onion
* 4 sticks Celery, cubed into small pieces
* Pasta (your choice, I usually use Spirelli)
* Blue Cheese - the delicious kind with mould
* Cream (I use soy-based cream lately)

Cook the onion until soft, add the celery, cook until softening (keep it firm) .. mix the Pasta (boiled of course, in a bit of salted water) .. crumble the blue cheese, add cream until the mixture thickens .. let it cool a little, serve.

A most suitable replacement.

No, it's the environment that the media platforms exist in. It's our laws, our economic system, our way of governing, and who has power to influence those things: all fairly consistent due to inertia but not really fated to be what they are, IMO. People seem to think present reality was destined. I think there are other viable ways we could have developed that would look much different and have fewer, more, or just different problems than the ones we take for inevitable.
I have done it at my old (rented) apartment without physically destroying the latch. If I remember correctly (this was ~10 years ago), I was able to remove the latch assembly entirely, and then jump the wires for the sensor that detects the latch being engaged.

That said, cooking pizza on the clean cycle is difficult, and not necessarily worth it. Timing and vertical positioning in the oven is crucial, or you will end up with a burnt bottom or toppings. Make sure you have a long peel, and keep your face away from the heat when you open the door.

I was hoping this was going to be how to modify boardgames to play with friends via webcam. We played Monopoly, and had good success - one board, setup a ghost player for the remote people. Remote people used parts of a set to keep track of their money and properties. Later several hours.

I have not played SV, but I have been a farmer. I find it fascinating that the game makers managed to get that mechanic into the game, because that is 100% farming. "When it's time to make hay, make hay" is a saying you hear almost every day as a full time farmer. If you don't get it done today, it may rain tomorrow and then everything will be ruined, is the sentiment there.

I don't know that there's anything else to this, or that it's really that interesting. But I find it interesting that game creators, who I assume were never farmers, would work that into a game that seems to focus on farming. The stereotype of a farmer, from what I can tell post-farm life, is to be laid back and sort of let life happen around them.

My personal solution is to not buy utilions at all.

Fuzzies are good. They are useful. They connect me to people around me, and bring gratitude. Fuzzies are the reason I have a moral feeling at all. And utilions are just a virus, that infects my moral system, trying to highjack it, so that it becomes useless to me. So that I do charity without getting gratitude and potencial help in the future.

Purchase "moral usefulness" and "moral useless abstraction" separately, and try to purchase of the latter as little as possible :)
Our intestinal tracts are smaller than that of herbivores. As a matter of fact our intestinal tract has the length ratio similar to that of other omnivores, similar to that of pigs or dogs for example.

We don't have the teeth of carnivores, but we don't have the teeth of herbivores either. That's because we evolved to use tools and fire, which meant we could predigest our food, which also allowed us btw to eat tubers. Thus comparisons with other animals is silly.

We aren't like cows, we cannot synthesize essential amino acids from grass, we don't have the gut or the gut flora for it and we don't stay around all day chewing leaves like gorillas. Our big brain evolved with foods high in calories and in paleolithic this meant animal fat and starch.

Yes, you can live on a whole plants based diet, with the proper supplements. Whether that's optimal or not is another question entirely and there are plenty of studies available from African countries showing that children could really benefit from more meat and dairy in their diet.

References please.

While in the 19th century most of the human population lived in extreme poverty and suffered from malnutrition, the percent of people living in poverty and suffering from malnutrition has dropped to a historically low in 2015, afaik less than 10% of the world population. We are living in the best times of humanity, from all points of view, literally.

Therefore bringing starvation into this discussion, despite the absolutely amazing progress we've made since 1960 (which is around the time when meat consumption went up btw), shows ignorance.

I'm not denying that meat should be more expensive and reflect its actual cost to the environment, but really, stop it with the quackery.
Yes! I'd never heard of XSL until today, thank you for pointing me to it! This looks exactly like what I'm trying to do.

I feel bad for the higher class pizza restaurant that opened down the street from our house at the end of January after a long time of renovating the building.

Even though their pizza isn't really as good as the fancy pizza place at the mall (it's a mall in a rich area) down by the nearby harbor, which will upset me if it goes out of business because I could take my kids there or visitors and they were made happy by the quality of the pizza.

But this place down the street from me, that is textbook bad luck.
Indeed, this is a very poor comparison.
They get kicked out because they're not making as much money. Ultimately it goes to the top. CEO's are appointed by shareholders who generally care only about the bottom line. And have shown themselves to be quite short-termist in this more often than not.

If we want to change this, then we need to change how control of companies is determined in our economy.
It seems like GNOME, KDE and Sway are the only serious wayland options.

Upgrading is not different than changing environment variables as far as breaking existing code is concerned.

You can always run R --no-init-file to be sure that you have the default settings. Now you have to know what default settings the code that you want to run expects.
Instant yeast tends to be very aggressive/successful so what happens if you use a small amount of instant yeast is you get a slow rise but it's a monoculture microbially speaking versus if you use a typical sourdough starter (called "madre" in Italian baking) there are several strains of bacteria which are about equivalent in terms of how fast they multiply. So the final dough has a more diverse microbiome. The theory is that leads to a more complex taste because of the way the different yeast strains digest the sugars etc and affect the taste of the resulting product.
Did they mail you anything in writing? Not that a letter is worth anything by itself, but if it's asking you for a debt you recognise and asks to call a number that does indeed map back to a debt collection agency (on Google, etc) it's probably legit.

I am not sure whether it's even legal for them to mark you as refusing to pay without making a formal payment demand by mail.

Not really - you can find focaccia of various types which is close but not quite that.
I updated a six core i7 3930k with a sixteen core 1950x threadripper on one of my boxes. Biggest reason for the update was the disk IO (m2 drives) and number of cores and I'd had the 3930k since the launch day at Microcenter. On Windows, single threaded at stock speeds, the cores were comparable from a 6-8 year gap between the two CPUs. For hosting virtual machines... the speed did not matter as much as having an abundance of physical cores. Still - I was not expecting the 'core speed' as reported by a video game to be as close as it was.

The Zen2 (3900x) core speed on the other workstation reported as almost twice as fast, with 12 cores. Really wish that TR4 board supported the 39xx threadripper series.

Socrates and Aristotle both sound very anti-democratic.

Thucydides explains why.
In the first case, if for a given row bar.category_id <> 5 then there's no match and hence null will be returned for any value from bar. Thus there will be no match in baz either (assuming the id columns are non-null).

In the second case, the first join will always return a row from bar for a given foo_id if it exists, but the second join does not return values from baz for rows where bar.category_id <> 5.
DOP, DOC, etc are not about preference, they are designations for regionally protected products names with some production standards. Just like champagne is only champagne if it was made in champagne region from the right grapes in the right methodology.

These assure on the other hand normally a good quality standard as the regional producers' associations have every incentive to keep quality good.

> Do you seriously believe that anyone who is reasonably intelligent can just waltz into a high paying job at Apple or Google by sending them a resume

People who have waltzed into a high paying job at Apple or Google by sending them a resume believe exactly this.

It’s one of the many problems with any sort of unsolicited financial/job seeking advice. Actually the problem with advice of any sort. It’s almost 100% wrong.
interestingly, you can track this issue back to latin, which has a preposition "in" (meaning in, on, to), which is often attached to verbs, and a prefix "in-" which negates the word it's attached to.
Käsespätzle predates Krafts' sickening concoction, so just: no.

Department of Health and Human Services via the local county and/or the state should be able to provide a social worker (if they haven't already) to get him into the system. If they live in a larger city there should be some resources there as well. He will auto qualify for disability from the State and County since he is disabled per the Feds. His doctor and/or hospital should be able to provide a social worker as well and point them in a direction to find help.

That should open up money, assistance and housing. There may be a wait list but he should be able to get into assisted living or some sort of supervised independent living. Some states and counties are better than others.

Her best bet is to find a social worker who can help. Start with the county and the state. Does she have power of attorney and is she his legal guardian? These are some things to think about. If not, the state can become the legal guardian etc... and then she doesn't have to worry so much about him. All of the "senior" housing have subsidized rooms. They may take all of his social security but he will get a room and food.

As for which States are better than others, I don't know.

As for the felonies, I would consult a lawyer, legal aid or the district attorney to see if they can be mitigated for the purposes of public assistance. There may be some programs that, if you prove, no longer a danger, rehabilitated etc.. will help you, especially considering his disability.
