Yea I live in NYC (fidi) and also been having problems finding flour. I can't necessarily travel long distances to different grocery stores because I don't want to ride the subway etc. The grocery stores around me don't have it and haven't had luck with delivery.

Last week finally got costco to deliver a 50lb bag which is apparently all they have at the moment...

But I think I agree with you, it's less of a true shortage and more of a supply chain to certain stores issue. Are we really consuming more flour at this point or are we just throwing all these established supply chains to completely restructure?

Believe it or not, there are more cities under 10-20k in the US than there are large metropolitan areas. In the area I'm in, you can only get a cab in the city. Good luck getting one 15-25KM outside of it.

Also being America, home of what feels like the home of capitalism which a lot of Europeans make it out to be, since the law only prosecutes you if you get caught, people take the risk. Because there is that cultural precedent, cab's don't bother competing cause nobody pays for it anyway.

Also for reference, you're only getting a cab in an area that is within city limits no further than like 5-10km outside of it. Any further, you're on your own.

You'd think that there'd be a "thriving" cab market, but cabs literally only exist in major cities. They do not exist in the places 20-30km out. Why would I go to those bars? Well...weddings, events, parties, where people live, etc. Also cabs charge out the ass so risking a DUI is oftentimes worth it. If you take a cab, you're out like $30-$50 bucks sometimes in those rural areas. If you get a DUI, in my state, it's like $150 for a first time offense. So in essence people drive normally, avoid main highways or take backroads where cops don't camp out.

It's kind of sad, to be honest. The official Scrabble app does exactly what you want, but only for pass-and-play. (At least it did a few years ago when I played.)

I wonder if you could set up the game at your house, physically, with a camera pointed bird's eye view. He wouldn't be able to move his pieces, but he might be able to communicate via a video chat?
It works though! And if you do

if (2^3 != 1)
puts("two cubed is not one");
if (5^2 != 7)
puts("five squared is not seven");

it prints those messages too.

The trick is operator precedence.
I've played monopoly strictly by the rules and it ends up being equally terrible as any house rules imo.

Perhaps even worse, once you get someone who drops in with the hyper optimized bleed-everyone-to-death-with-no-hotels strategy. (Or worse, 2+ people with this strategy, because they it becomes a neverending game of trying to block all monopolies)

I'll agree though, playing without the auction rule is super slow and boring.

Maybe stock rules with infinite houses, I haven't tried that before.

This is probably a reasonable point in a subset (and mindset, frankly) of C++ that has very little overlap with the subset of C++ I use. Every C++ codebase I work on has RTTI (and exceptions) disabled immediately, so dynamic_cast isn't even an option. If it was, I would consider any use of dynamic_cast to be a bug because of the egregious performance implications. The correctness concern should be addressed either at compile time (either by construction, i.e. CRTP over runtime polymorphism or by other means) or by tests. Obviously, I'm extremely biased on this, because performance is effectively the primary (and often only) reason I use C++. In other domains, YMMV.

I imagine it's a feeling of "I'm smart enough to rise above partisan politics" or "I'm smart enough to go against the status quo." In other words, people who believe they're smart enough to avoid getting manipulated, when in fact it's not a matter of smarts at all.
I think I encountered 5¼" floppies only near the beginning of my computing life so I only had a couple at the school lab but this is the first I've heard of flippy disks. What a clever name! If most PC drives couldn't read these, which manufacturer drives did people use?
Maybe not "the best" - but for 30 cents a pop, it's so easy, and it's always good.

I can't believe that the design of composition notebooks is practically unchanged since the 1930's. Like I had that exact one just a few years ago. I guess "if it aint broke then don't fix it", but I thought somebody would have tried to change it at some point.
We have two scenarios here:

1) Trump knew about UBI, a fringe medical practice used primarily in Russia decades ago

2) Trump heard them talking just moments before about how UV light disinfects outdoor surfaces and kills the virus, and that using chemical disinfectants also killed the virus, and then proceeded to talk about how you could inject disinfectant or put UV light inside the body.

Occam's Razor would point us towards the latter. It's just a lot less convoluted to believe he was talking about the same topic the entire prior discussion had been around than to believe he's talking about an obscure and unproven medical practice decades removed from use.

A spike in demand for ingredients used to make baked goods. People have the time now to experiment with things they previously had an interest in but not enough motivation to see it through.
The big takeaway from this article for me is that I should probably look for or write a browser extension that tracks changes to analytics tools and IDs on sites. If a site is silently taken over, the state actor would either need to separately gain access to the analytics tool accounts, or would need to modify the IDs to connect to a new account. I'd love to see how often tracking IDs change on high-profile sites.
The best thing would be to move to a country with low living costs and work remotely for a company from a high living costs country.

Rust's type system takes up a surprisingly small portion of compilation time. See the comment rooted at [0] for some discussion.

tl;dr: Profiling and tests show that codegen and LLVM work takes up the lion's share of compilation time. The borrow checker itself isn't that expensive in the grand scheme of things, and languages like OCaml show that it's very feasible to have a complex type system that compiles quickly.

Is AWS deprecating the simple-calculator [0]? Frustratingly, it has been neglected and has never supported many aws services.

https://calculator.aws is pretty good, to be honest.

Or, are you referring to the TCO calculator [1]?

I'll assume no negative intent and that English is not your first language, because there's a big difference between calling something "promising" versus "interesting to look at".
> Unlikely. You can't mate with copies of yourself unless there are already multiple copies of yourself floating around.

Asexual reproduction doesn't require copies of "yourself". Plants can self fertilize and they are some of the most complex organisms to do it and you probably know this.

Can you rephrase that statement?
Nice, thats a good guide!

I dare say that if you are capable of following instructions, and have $15 to invest into a freshly roasted bag of beans from a coffee shop, then your coffee is exactly the same quality as to what you would get from a high end coffee shop. The only difference is that the coffee shop will charge you up to 5 dollars for a fancy pourover, while your 15 dollar bag of beans will last you several weeks.
I don't think people "let" their kids go wild so much as run out of parenting skills. That's what makes the idea irrational: use your parenting skills to make up for your lack of parenting skills. All you have to do is decide to do so!
> The reality that many people buying it don't know how to cook, let alone bake.

Based on?

> not likely

Again, based on what? Your intuition? You have some data correlating flour purchases with people unable to bake (and apparently unmotivated to use a search engine or read expiration dates)?

Storing flour in a sealed container extends its lifespan. Freezing it even more so. Anyone can easily learn these facts if so motivated.
Hmm. I guess I kind of did mean that. Rather, I meant to make people question whether the individuals actions were all that mattered.

Another example: If my wife wants me to invest in stocks and I do so after doing a lot of research and preparation, and that stock goes down, do I apologize? Do I apologize because of things that happen after and independent of my original actions? Or maybe my wife should apologize? Maybe nobody should apologize? How much depends on the stock market? Out of our control and comprehension.
To what extent is democracy just re-branding of the concept of letting the popularity contest winner run things? Though at face value the unpopularity of winners (and near winners) makes this seem counter intuitive, but that may be explained by the extent that our sense of popularity can be and is being manipulated.

As such, democracy would seem a very unpalatable outcome. Better than the alternatives they had, but lacking enough that they would have distaste for it and seek something better.

Similar the Churchill quote (which itself is rephrasing an earlier quote.

>Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.
This is the best response. I like highlighting that this is a logistics problem, because humanity has become more adept at solving logistics issues since the start of the 21st century.

I feel like people are becoming increasingly fatalistic about challenges like overpopulation while we have tools to help fix these problems that didn't exist 20 years ago. Yes, the world is changing at a speed that makes people uneasy, but the world that emerges out of this could be more resilient, better fed, and more environmentally sound as long as we continue to solve problems.
There are 2TB 7mm SMR drives, so ~1.8TB CMR should be easily doable.

I think there were 1TB 7mm CMR drives available as far as 5-6 years ago, although I'm not sure about the 7mm part.

That depends. Around Y2K, people in infosec made boatloads of money. It could be argued that we still do, but the money isn't anywhere as free-flowing as it was back then.

I keep seeing security gigs offering half of what was on offer for the same positions back then. Although I think a lot of it has to do with how much better automated software has become. You don't need anywhere near the level of skill that was required during infosec genesis. Now everybody thinks they are experts after they've read a book and downloaded metasploit.
Agreed: the consistency is really solid. I've never had a bad cup of coffee from my Aeropress, even when using cheap beans. I do still have a drip coffeemaker at home (weirdly, Oxo makes a terrific drip coffeemaker that's not expensive but really good), but that's mostly because I fix coffee for three-to-four people in the morning so a full carafe is a lot easier than a cup at a time. If I'm just making it for me, Aeropress all the way.
Probably not. Most european keyboards are just differenr caps on the iso layout. Modern keyboards in the western world are usually ANSI or iso, and I believe there are one or two prominent layouts used in Asian countries.

I have never understood why the ANSI layout is popular. The compromises of the iso layout to cram the extra keys in are hardly noticeable apart from the right pinky if you touch type.

The key caps are different, of course, but that can't be very expensive.

Since they said "philosophy class," singular, I suspect they're referring to the unit on logic: modus ponens, modus tollens, valid vs sound arguments, etc.

In other words, supply-chain problems just like we're seeing in many other segments: paper products, sanitizer, rice/beans, etc.
These types of transformations are simple to detect, well known, and applied by ~every compiler.

Unless you have evidence otherwise (ASM differences or benchmarks), there is no use in manually transforming your arithmetic into something more complex but faster. The compiler will do it for you.
This is going to be stock Fedora Workstation, with no proprietary drivers. (You can install the Nvidia binary drivers after the fact if you need or want them.)

We follow the upstream kernel closely and generally do not include out-of-tree drivers (with a few historic exceptions). So, everything that works here should eventually benefit everyone.
Most people have a hard time measuring 0.02% baking percentage of 200g flour. Not because they don't know what grams is, but because they don't have the equipment or means to measure it.

Everytime I hear someone say things about units, it is not that people don't understand - there are other issues around that. For example, Americans know that metric system is better but they can't just switch solo until the entire nation changes which is a huge task.

Furthermore, those people who gawk at Americans still use 360 degrees for a full circle, 24 hour segments in a day and other weird units - for e.g. Switzerland still uses points for fonts! Not mm.

I would go ahead and even say - Metric system is based on base 10 which sucks, we should rewind back the history and grow 12 fingers because Duodecimal system is far better than decimal system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duodecimal

We are just stuck with base 10. Just like Americans are stuck with their archaic units. It has nothing to do with the fact that people are smart/dumb. I am gonna push back on that nonsense.
Philosophy major here (I jokingly tout myself as a trained philosopher). Philosophy is a big field with different schools of thought. In the US/UK, the primary school is known as "analytic (philosophy)" which is focused on tight arguments, precise language, and clarity of thought (see Russell, Wittgenstein, Lewis, Godel). This is contrasted by European -- in particular, French -- "continental (philosophy)" which waxes more poetic (see Nietzsche, Sartre, Lacan, Derrida).

The former deals quite a bit with logic (which was my area of focus in undergrad). Classes I took ranged from "baby logic" (predicate logic, first-order-logic), to second-order logic, to mathematical logic (mostly Peano arithmetic), to metalogic (learning how to prove things like Godel's incompleteness), to lambda calculus, to game theory. This was on top of ethics classes, history of philosophy, and other miscellaneous classes (took a very fun seminar by a Yale visiting professor -- I forget his name -- on the philosophy of food). Most of the graduate seminars I took were on philsophy of language and model theory.

Just about every philosophy class had a pretty strong "logic" undercurrent.

Covid-19 hackathon concluded in Namibia
When I was a manager I'd get the team together every quarter and we'd agree on "this is what we're going to do" - and then we'd do it, usually. At the end of the quarter we'd have to explain why certain pressures pushed things out, but usually the business cared more that we kept churn down.

For over a year I pushed back on story pointing and things that felt micro manage-y to me.

It was very hard on me, but it was worth seeing the productivity.

Eventually I was forced to give in to Agile with the big A and left soon after.

I can't get another management job because everyone wants to do Agile in a way I hate to manage - so now I'm a developer again... :)

There are certainly good reasons to make a team's progress visible. PMs/POs ( I'm never sure of the difference ) will want to know if a project can meet the release date. They will want to know that the need-to-have features are being worked on before the nice-to-have. I don't want to sat a team should work in total isolation.

I can only say that IME a team is going to be a lot more productive if they are able to own their development process. Good infrastructure, knowledgeable engineers, healthy relationships instead of competitive ones - that's what creates a highly productive team and highly productive engineers.

I am like you - under normal circumstances flour is a staple, although I cheat by using a bread making machine. I don't have a car and flour plus a machine means I can have fresh bread, not stale bought stuff. Normally I buy 3kg at most in a week with a stockpile of less than that. So the current situation is annoying.

However, think of the OCD crew that are normally the only ones buying hand sanitizer. Us flour buyers can improvise with store bread but the OCD people must have had it hard when their essentials of hand sanitizer and toilet paper vanished from the aisles.

Interesting. Regarding 1.8 TB though, that's a weird size to put on a package, so I can see why they wouldn't do that.
I always assumed the support was because for a long time PCs would boot from 3.5 disks but not CD-Roms and the 3.5 disks were pretty easy to take to another computer, format correctly, and then boot from if needed to load a new OS or recover from a hard disk issue.

As european coffee fan Italys coffee is just overrated. The lowest quality, might be a bit better than elsewhere but best rosteries and cafes are generally in London, Berlin (number of great cafes and roasters there are of the charts) and scandinavia. But you will find really good cafes in any bigger city (including Italy). And even quality roasters are decentralized.

The problem is not so much roasting but getting the beans. Many roasters just wont get to the best stuff from Africa because of limited supply so it makes sense that richer countries snatch the material because they can charge more.

I can imagine US also can afford the best beans so i bet the high high quality is pretty top notch but ive never had US coffe in my life.
Experience is king. That said, if the company has an AWS contract, then the company might get a break on pricing depending on the number of certified people. That could make you more attractive.

If you are an ASC or in other security related position, then a GSEC or CISSP might be helpful. It seems security positions tend to focus more on certs and credentialing.
