Baghdad was already a literal violent warzone. We had just invaded and they didn't want an occupying army there.
No, because it does the type checking already: it just fails to keep the type data into the runtime, which could be highly optimized if it had types. V8 apparently "generates" types on-the-go to make JS run fast, so if it had pre-built types it could already run the faster version of the code from the start.
I think the big deal with the EV1 is it was notable for being a 100% functional street car. Not an underpowered golf cart thing.
Unless we are rewriting how our economy works, the Fed should have a neutral balance sheet, i.e. all the debt it creates by purchasing bonds/securities/etc. should be paid off eventually. Any Treasury securities are going to be paid off by taxpayer money.

If we are entering a new type of economy (which we have been since 2008), and the Fed is no longer worried about having an ever expanding balance sheet, then we are entering modern money theory territory, which is scary to me because we completely lack the oversight needed.
That Ctrl key muscle memory is why Colemak made the explicit decision to leave all of ZXCVB in the same place as QWERTY.

A lot of Vim is mnemonic and while relearning the muscle memory is tough, relearning the mnemonics can be useful to reinforce what you know about Vim.

(Just maybe don't make the mistake I made at one point of trying a "remap the world" configuration, learning entirely new mnemonics for classic operations, and then realizing maybe too late I'd prefer a smaller remapped config. Unlearning the wrong mnemonics is hard.)
This brings up an interesting question. How come citizens are deemed qualified and knowledgeable and educated enough to vote for their governors, but not knowledgeable and educated enough to spot fake news and make their own good judgement. This is somewhat contradicting , IMHO

I didn't say we shouldn't have criterias.

I said that the "50% market share" seems to have flaws. Why not look at market caps?

Well, the last monopoly was broken in 1982, isn't odd that since then no other monopoly has ever existed?

You currently have monopolies that serve political agendas, that's a better stick I guess.
Actually, clojure compiles down to java classes, which are statically typed. Existing java types can be extended with clojure protocols. The link below talks about this, specifically about the expression problem.

See https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/j-clojure-protoco...

However, I learnt something. I didn't know that the definition of the expression problem required static typing. I prefer to think of it as adding static types to multiple dispatch.
Yeah and it's easy to see why it happened.

One of the things about fear, is that it is not a useless reaction.

Fear isn't really an "emotion." It's a "reaction." It's a temporary state that we are designed to engage when we are in danger, and exit when the danger is past.

And it works very well. When we are scared, our adrenaline amps up, our capillaries expand, our blood pressure increases, our senses sharpen, etc. There's been a gazillion studies on the physiological manifestations of a state of fear.

Our thinking also gets affected. It becomes fairly "binary." Stand very still, or run away. Don't just stand there thinking. Make a decision. Do something. No time to evaluate. No grey areas. It's either good, or bad.

Anger is really a manifestation of fear. The reactions are quite similar.

They are both reactions that are designed to be temporary. Being in either a state of fear, or anger, for extended lengths of time, is corrosive to our health; both mental and physical.

But the really dangerous thing, is that the "binary" thinking is bad; especially in areas where we are making long-term decisions. If we need to make a decision to run, we don't look further than the next bend. That's why a squirrel runs in front of a car, escaping someone walking down the sidewalk (happened to me a couple of days ago. The squirrel was fine, because the driver saw them, and jammed on the brakes).

Many managers work on fear. They like to keep a state of anxiety going. I won't dwell on the reasons, but I feel as if it is a bad thing, for engineers, because it encourages us to take tactical shortcuts and "patch" fixes, as opposed to considered, strategic reasoning, and long-term, "holistic" fixes.

I was a manager for many years, and I feel that one of my most important jobs was to shield my team from the immense pressure that was piled onto me.
No, the French doctor, Raoult, who recommended the treatment did the research in the field.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32205204/

Published a peer reviewed study, in March. But political opponents and people in favor of chaos, chose to bankroll a fake study and publish it in the so-called prestigious Lancet journal to make Trump look bad. Democrat governors like Michigan's threatened doctors for daring to prescribe the drug: https://news.yahoo.com/michigan-governor-threatens-doctors-p...

This is a drug that's been around for 60+ years. And the propaganda machine somehow turned it into a bad thing. I don't know who's behind the propaganda, maybe it's other pharm companies that want to profit, maybe it's political enemies...but I don't care, this is unacceptable and immoral.

consummation - (1) The action of making a marriage or relationship complete by having sexual intercourse. (2) The point at which something is complete or finalized.
In particular the narrow targeting of the political ads seems really problematic.

In Steven Levy's book [0] he goes into detail about this, the Trump campaign would show ads that specifically appeal to certain users while avoiding showing them ads that would turn them off.

If you were in a targeted group known to be anti-immigrant then you'd get the anti-immigrant ad, if you were in a group that was pro-immigrant you might get the tax-cut ad, if you were someone that would never vote for Trump then you'd get anti-hillary ads, etc.

This isn't at all neutral. FB's newsfeed also being algorithmically ordered for engagement (or really any way that's not chronological) is also not neutral. I'm partial to the argument that FB can't be arbiters of what's true and what's not, that people should hear the political speech as long as it's truly coming from those politicians - but this breaks down when FB allows people to narrowly target the message while also manipulating the general feed.

People are only hearing subsets of political speech precisely targeted to manipulate them. It's not informative, it's leveraging confirmation bias and hiding contradictory information.

I generally agree with the point that they're better being neutral, but then they should be neutral and not algorithmically rank for individual user engagement or allow this kind of targeting on political ads. Otherwise they're making editorial decisions as a publisher and should be held to that higher standard.

If CPD has a lot of positive press out there I've certainly missed it. In the last five years alone:

- Homan Square interrogation facility revealed where CPD detained suspects without access to a phone or lawyer

- Laquan McDonald murder and subsequent charging and conviction of Jason Van Dyke, only after dash cam footage provoked a public outcry

- CPD Superintendent ousted after being found asleep (possibly drunk?) in his running car at a stop sign.

- FOP (CPD Union) elects new president who is on administrative leave(!) and is one of the most frequently disciplined officers in CPD. Also has history of making public comments defamatory towards minorities / low income.

- State's Attorney vacates ~100 drug convictions based on false evidence from disgraced ex-CPD Sergeant Ronald Watts

- Damning DOJ report that lead to a consent decree

These are just things I can recall off the top of my head. They do not have a particularly good reputation.

Ok.
This story reminded me of a documentation I saw some years ago, about also a french guy in the sahara dessert. But more extreme, he was basically living in the dessert and moving around with his camels nomad style. Would be curious if he is still there. Possible.

Deserts are a special place. I can agree to the statement from the article. It is never boring.
At least not, when you choose to do the real dessert experience. Then you discover joys you did not imagine before, like finding fresh, drinking water, when you are dehydrated since a while, because the last 2 water springs had dried out and you really had to find water.
It can be orgastic, when your body literaly starts to be flowing again, as the body shuts down function after function if there is water shortage. And then it is a rush, if finally the blood can flow again ... (and that can actually kill you, if you drink too much too quick, after being dehydrated, start with some sips)

I experienced that not in a dessert, but on a long hike in a dry area, where fresh-water spots on my map did not had running water in reality and no civilisation around. So I was rationing water.
But then the next day, I found a spring. And so much water coming out! I could not believe it, all this fresh water just flowing and flowing and flowing ...
Every time I think about this I can't help but think of the Frozen Concentrated Orange Juice futures.
One of my favorite classes had a few simple tests provided by the professor, and the rest of the tests were provided by students. Our grade was based on our score on the overall test suite, combined with the quality of our own provided test case, our code quality as judged by a TA, and an external writeup. This was fun because it encouraged students to create brutally hard tests to cover all sorts of corner cases in a way that was openly available to everyone.

Grid.js is a bit different, let me explain.

Grid.js has an internal pipeline library which takes care of pulling the data, adding data processing layers, caching each layer when it's possible (e.g. you search for a keyword and then you navigate between pages) and running the steps to refine the data.

The `pipeline.process()` can be executed in a different thread than the main browser thread (e.g. Web Worker) which is super useful to perform the CPU consuming bits.

My main focus has been designing the pipeline and will continue to improve it. Also, the pipeline can be extended easily (see https://github.com/grid-js/gridjs/tree/master/src/pipeline) and steps are pure functions.

The think is that "advertisements", "news" and political statements get mixed up.

Like they advertise a YouTube channel/video, but then that YouTube channel/video contains badly manipulative content.

Worse with how thinks developed in recent times on YouTube not even all of this videos have bad intention some have accidental manipulative by oversimplifying reality. Like ... explained in 10 minutes where ... is fairly complex and omitting any of the major parts will have manipulative effects on the opinions people with no knowledge about ... get.

Most scarily is that I have seen some channels providing mini educational videos of this kind which for most topics try to be objective but for some topics are extremely manipulative while convincing you that they just present you the "objective" facts, in a way which clearly is NOT accidental. I'm a 20+ year old student and if I wouldn't have know more about the given topic I would have been tricked by them. So the effect such videos can have on younger people has me worried.
That's kind of like saying you can write immutable data structures and then bolt on STM and try to force yourself to stay in functional territory as much as possible in any language, which the paper addresses. You can do this, and Rich did it in C#, but in my experience it's not long before you start to have clashes of philosophy with other libraries you depend on and with the language itself, not to mention people you work with.

Believe me, I tried on one project to write as Clojure-y in Ruby as I could, and as soon as you reach for a library you need to interact with that doesn't play by the rules, things get weird if you want to keep things functional and immutable all the way down. You need to flagrantly violate established idioms in the core of the language, and often you wind up reimplementing things in the core of the language. People who aren't familiar with why you wrote it a particular way will come in at some point later and imperative or OOP it up.

> On one side we have peer reviewed, published, studies showing it doesn't work and causes harm

I understand the "doesn't work" at least when given late during the course of the disease (no idea when early, that's why we have RCTs to find out, otherwise it would be already done and deal), but causes harm? Aside the retracted study, even the deaths in the high dosage arm in the Brazil study, which prompted unmasking and lowered dosage, were defined "a statistically insignificant trend" (death is always serious, of course, but those words need to be taken into account).

Unless by "causes harm" you mean for availability for treatment of other diseases, of course.
I would like to add to your comment and highlight that this isn't similar to 2007-2008 as those loans were made to people who should never have gotten them in the first place and had no hope to pay it off. Those loans were straight up losses, whereas here, the loans are still good and some companies are even earning interest by delaying mortgage payments. But if too many people stop paying at the same time, the system will collapse and we'll have a repeat of GFC.
Why? They wouldn't be paying rent to their landlords either.

Unix pipelines are indeed beautiful, especially when you consider its similarity to Haskell's monadic I/O:

Unix pipelines actually helped me make sense of Haskell's monad.
So… if:

- it says its goals are honest journalism,

- it's privately owned (and hence not required to disclose its owners),

- it has public guidelines and policies promoting transparency, neutrality, independence and accountability,

- its newsroom leadership and staff are careful about what they put on their official Facebook accounts,

- it has an abuse@ address and an internal oversight board, and Facebook has assessed it

then that's okay? I think I'd be able to get an organisation past stronger checks, and I'm not even particularly good at that sort of thing.

That last check is the hardest one to game, but it's also likely to have a high false positive rate, so I wouldn't be too worried about my hypothetical shady organisation getting past that.

> talking about tweets from some bloke calling himself MD but who isn't working as a doctor, talking about a "study" performed in India that wasn't actually a study

A bit unrelated, but during the peak, my parents shared a video kn Facebook that I found quite surprising.

A doctor, with a legitimate medical degree and patients, made a meme level conspiracy video about how since a patent existed on a vaccine for a previous coronavirus, it would also treat COVID-19, but somehow tied the patent owner to Bill Gated and into a conspiracy by Gates to depopulate the world.

I nornally consider doctors pretty intelligent people, but jesus christ.
No clue why they did. It was one thing after another, so it wasn't just the bottle issue. After a few inspections and things not being well kept, I decided it was best to not renew.

> I know that "the tech interview process is broken", but we, as part of that process, should aim to improve it, not to trick the system for our own and personal benefit.

It's not broken for FAANG, because what they're looking for is willingness to spend time studying hard for their interviews over material that's (certainly not all) useful in one's day-to-day job (if it were then this wouldn't measure one's willingness to spend lots of time studying), to whatever degree is required by your raw natural intelligence/ability, to be able to pass their tests.

They're looking for (what they consider to be) a sufficient amount of wanting-it + intelligence (IQ, more or less), in whatever proportion is necessary to get the candidate through the gauntlet. That's what the interviews filter for, and it's what they want them to filter for.

(yes they're also favoring recent grads and people who have lots of time on their hands—notably those two categories overlap strongly—but I'm pretty sure those are secondary goals, if they're goals at all)

This is further a problem because Seattle has at least one current badge design the puts the number in the middle of the badge. Many other agencies avoid this as they either have a traditional badge with large numbers at the bottom like many NYPD badges, or they understand that mourning bands are a thing and avoid placing the badge number where the band may cover up.

As a forward looking policy, agencies should generally prohibit obscuring the agency and officer identification for uniformed officers and design those things to enhance their readability and prevent common practices like mourning bands from obscuring them.

As for the body camera policy, Seattle has a history of using video surveillance during protests to identify protesters for later prosecution, in particular this happened during the WTO protests and Iraq War protests.

A common call from protesters has been that journalists and photographers documenting the protest avoid publishing clear photos that would allow the police and other parties the ability to identify protesters, so there are conflicting calls on that particular policy.

I think the long term solution to that is a legal disincentive for police departments to prosecute protesters and a trust in the police and judiciary that they can take such recordings and use them for accountability rather than prosecutions.
The really funny bit with the 88 == HH bit is that it's taking Gematria values of the German alphabet and assigning significance to the resulting number. IE a Jewish technique (from the Zohar & Hebrew numeral system) of converting letters into numbers. I suppose IIXIIX is too long.
