Surely a single math tools package should cover all of this?

They shouldn't. It's silly. You're right that there should be "math"[1], but while those things aren't part of the main JS ecosystem people write utility libraries and publish them.

[1] There is, it's https://mathjs.org/. More people should use it.
I have tried various solutions, but nothing that works better than what's there now.

I only force the height for the logos, not the width, so wrapping doesn't really improve things.

Waiting to display until they are all loaded kills the "instant" tagline. I'm hotlinking the images, so some images can take awhile.
I was referring to the letter from Princess Elisabeth of Bohemia to Descartes saying she was too busy with courtly life to follow his instructions.

Then: rare bath, lots of combing done by servants

Now: common shower, ideal alone time.

If you were a noble/royal woman, I think it's fair to say you'd have more time to think now than then.

(And exercise, the other thing that's nicer for thinking behind doing nothing besides warm water, was also not really a thing for women then.)
Yes, inserting multiple values into Postgres really does work, but beware of inserting too many at once.

I started generating insert statements of about 200k in length and it caused Amazon Aurora to start dropping connections.

If you insert 10 or 100 values, you'll get a 10x or 100x speedup, which is usually good enough.
Yeah, this feels almost like a get out clause that will prevent ever having to pay out on the bounty – though I don't think it's intentional.

If this is meant for people with large follower counts and regardless of approach you ultimately end up sending thousands upon thousands of messages with the same content + a link, you're going to get flagged and you're going to get banned.

I feel like the authors of bounty are focusing too much on their understandable and not intentionally malicious use case, and overlooking the fact they're asking for a straight up run of the mill spam bot.

In fact the only difference to your usual spam bot is the ultimate aim of the spam it's sending is to actively harm Twitter's own business.
Which study are you referring to?

I can only find one paper by the WHO from 2003 that discusses the effectiveness of masks in reducing transmission of SARS.[1] The paper says that because many different social distancing and hygiene measures were taken at the same time, it is impossible to assess how effective each individual measure was. For example, the abstract states,

> The independent effectiveness of measures to "increase social distance" and wearing masks in public places requires further evaluation.

I found plenty of papers that find that mask use by healthcare workers in hospitals is effective, but that's not the same as what you're claiming.

I recall a windows update caused all the computers in the office using some default network print driver to bluescreen on printing and if outlook was open the profile would get corrupted. People go to print an email and suddenly everything was fucked.

I assume the bad driver was running in kernal space, is there a reason to design it that way?
I don't know if I'm disgusted or delighted by this solution, but it doesn't leave me indifferent!

I still have not-so-fond memories of using Rails 4.x to render HAML partials to "support" basic JavaScript dynamic interactivity.
Again, I think that number is probably considerably lower when you include pensions in the calculation. And especially when you include CoL differences between Seattle and the rest of the country.

Even then, sure, it's above median. My point is that it's still "normal middle-class average joe" money, not "basically an executive so there should be different special non-compete rules" money.
We wouldn’t run an external command because of the overhead, compatibility, and portability, but I’ll treat your question as “why not do what tput el would do?”

It all depends on where the input cursor is when the command terminated. You need something that works with both cases (line break and no line break) because you can’t introspect the output.

tput el clears the output to the end of line so you still have to figure out if you’re on the same line as the output or if you’re on a new line. The goal of spaces is not to clear content but to invoke the wrapping behavior of the terminal which will either cause you to be on the same line only in the case that you started off at col 0 or else somewhere in the middle of the next line, but in both cases, you’re on the row you need to be on (after taking into account whether wrapping happens at max column or max column plus one).

Edit: It’s actually a lot like rounding by adding 0.5 and truncating. And the complexities are akin to trying to do it with non-standardized or different standards of doubles and dealing with epsilon and NaN :D
Something you'll discover when you do enough query optimization is that postgres' query planner isn't clause-order invariant. i.e. a AND b won't necessarily give you the same query plan as b AND a.

My first reaction was that this was awful, but the more I thought about it, the more I was grateful that postgres (accidentally) gave me this knob to play with. Optimization of complex queries is a very tricky thing, and most engines won't do a good job of it 100% of the time. What I realized would have been a worse situation is if postgres sometimes picked a bad plan and there was little I could do to avoid it without reforming the query (a pain when you're generating the query with a query compiler already). Reordering the clauses effectively allowed me to ask the planner to roll the dice again.

Following this, I may or may not have gone on to build a cache for the system that timed queries and kept notes of "good" clause orders for common queries, resorting to random ones otherwise....
Most consulting engineers are both specialists and generalists. I do mostly compliance and manufacturing consulting. Most of my contracts are for a simple gap analysis. Which oft turns into an implementation contract that entails test engineering (hardware and software), manufacturing engineering, quality engineering, and product and process approval and accreditation.

Where hardware and software meet, there is no such thing as a pure specialist. You will not get many future gigs if your skill and experience set is narrow.

I'm not sure what fast or slow is. I think on average I spend 1-10s compiling. Eg when I run my tests, or run a server. However that is during my normal workflow. Ie the thing I do 500x a day.

If I was to nuke my target directory _(the compile cache)_, it would take minutes. Not sure how many honestly, because when I do it, I rarely wait for it.

So the compiles are definitely slow, but for me it's only bad when dependencies are needing to be compiled. Which is rare.

If you don't cache your dependencies well, like in a poorly written CI pipeline, things will suck though. 20 minute builds at work (slow build machines) are common for us due to some poorly done caching.
The Postgres docs are some of the best reading you can do. Super digestible, great examples, and all around excellent for learning.

Oh, right; I somehow completely missed the wraparound effect of the spaces.
A CTE probably would have fixed it, but we weren't able to use them. We were using Citus which at the time didn't support CTEs.

Using a CTE to do this would also be suboptimial since it materializes the entire result of the subquery in memory. This is as opposed to the OFFSET 0 which would only materialize one row at a time.

I disagree. Most companies are actually trying to INCREASE diversity, be it based on skin colour or gender. So it may actually be much EASIER to get accepted in this companies if you are black.

I know in some STEM fields (not all in STEM is CS), you have MUCH MUCH higher chances to land a good job at a big company if you are female. But being female in medicine or law buys you nothing since there is no imbalance.
Brilliant - I wa hoping it might be a good way to share interesting photos like this - thank you.
While there are grey area's companies have used these type of provisions in extreme ways like claiming they owned a work of fiction by an engineer that worked for the company.

For example do you believe it would be ethical for a company to claim ownership over a "hot new angry birds" game that goes viral simply because they have a IP clause in their employment contract covering the employment of that programmer who also works on their LOB ERP Application?

It should be in very limited to at minimum the type of work I do, one should not have to surrender their mind over to the company for their wages
Yeah, but someone competent who does much of the CEOs work for some years, can learn to do more and more of it.

I couldn't fetch the article, so I'm looking at the ScienceDaily page.

It's a process to turn:

* otherwise-waste carbon dioxide into (taking electricity)

* syngas, which can be turned into

* synthetic diesel, methanol, alcohol or plastics

Plastics could be a carbon sink I guess.
Yeah, I get it now; for some reason I completely misunderstood the intended effect of the spaces.

I think, context is the point here.

The Lab Leak Hypothesis
I'm a Firefox user, but I don't see myself using Lockwise, it's too lacking in features, not to mention the security caveats of using your browser's password "manager". You're better off using a third party like Bitwarden or KeyPass.

Depends on the state, but yes, generally public pension funds receive extraordinary (literally, as in "more than the ordinary") protection. It's certainly going to be a hell of a lot harder for a city/state to stop paying their pension than it is for your 401k to simply shrink and/or stop paying out 4% YoY. Just ask anyone who's checked their 401k balance this year.
Making these words disappear is a disservice to fighting racism (and other culturally ingrained inequality.)

To address systemic racism, we need to change people's preconceptions and prejudices. These are things that are picked up and learned from other people in one's environment. Removing these words makes them even more intangible than they already are.

Creating prejudice is easy to communicate. Removing it, on the other hand, is an "absence" of something, which is much harder to get across linguistically, semantically and emotionally.
For COVID19, MA has done terribly at 7576 deaths for a population of ~6.7M [0]. At 1090 deaths per million, that's worse than the UK (620 deaths/millon) and Belgium (843 deaths/million) [1]. MA is only eclipsed by NY (1570/1M), NJ (1400/1M) and CT (1160/1M) [2].

It's not the joggers we need to worry about, it's the elderly/infirm (average age of the dead is 81) and long term care home inhabitants (63% of deaths) [0].

Bankruptcy does not always mean the liabilities exceed their assets. Specifically with chapter 11 bankruptcies it is usually a liquidity issue, not that they have an overall negative value.

I ran into that this week too! Actually, it was a filter that contained a Json path select and it appears that it’s evaluating the path for every row check (maybe because the path lookups can be more dynamic?).
Frome is a pretty average descender though. I've heard him talk about struggling on descents, especially in his early career or bad weather.
There’s an argument to be made that micro packages follow the ideas of the Unix philosophy, but to compare is-odd and a derivative that simply negates it’s results to piping two well optimized coreutils together is definitely a stretch.

I’d also say that implying JS developers inherently have a wider range of experience and knowledge compared to developers of coreutils is flat out absurd.
This isn't too far from Olympia. I wonder if there are some opportunities to buy things cheaper for cash than with the script dollars. I guess they address that by letting businesses exchange them back for the same. Still that's a tiny bit of overhead and there's a tiny chance making them less than equal to dollars because of the exchange. It's really a great idea for a small town.
Yeah, you could get the size of the images at indexing time, and return that in the search result.
“We used an open flame, which burns at 2000 degrees, to create nanoparticles of zinc oxide that can then be used to convert CO2, using electricity, into syngas.”

Is this a real catalyst? (That is, it doesn't get used up in the process.) Or do they have to keep making more zinc oxide clouds to keep the process going? The paper summary is unclear about the energy inputs to this process.

Costs $10 to read the paper.
That's fair to consider. However, we should also consider usage over time and popularity and the origins of what made the usage so much more popular at specific points in history. The origins of a rarely used word are far less interesting than when that word all of a sudden became very popular a hundred years later. Or perhaps ten years from now, why the word so quickly faded from usage.

> But from the perspective of a parent, why should I be disallowed from providing my own kids every possible advantage I can afford?

Because it's bad for society, and because there's a long since established moral precedent in favor of things that may make life slightly worse for any given individual but better for a large majority of everyone.

It's also worth keeping in mind that there's a massive difference between "rich" and "ultra-rich". "Rich" and "poor" are, if anything, closer to each other than either is to "ultra-rich", and spreading out the spending of that last category would dramatically benefit an overwhelming majority of people without hurting the schools of ultra-rich areas in a way that, frankly, anyone should actually care about.
The number of times people I work with would greatly benefit from reading the table of contents of our DBMS manual (...me included) is actually staggering.

Read the fine manual of your database. Then read it again. Chances are you’ll be very surprised.
What exactly has changed? It’s not like sqlite suddenly stopped calling fsync all the time, and the memory consumption is still relevant.

It might be just the opposite, in fact - faster SSDs may mean that directories with many files are faster, and packing many objects into one big sqlite archive does not have as many benefits as before.
No worries! (Now try figuring out what it does and why it does it from the code that you found spread out over a few hundred lines of C interspersed with curses calls and no comments.)
Oh, and one more thing - the standard argument of "just go start your own site" doesn't work when payment processors and domain registrars have also been happily enforcing this sort of thing.

"Just go make your own internet", I guess.

Figuring out how to move projects like IA to a configuration where they are beyond the reach of the state, but still universally accessible, is one of the most important open issues of the internet today.
If you just need a fixed delay in the order of ns, sure. But the fact that it isn't randomly addressable makes me think it won't be useful for anything general purpose.

Every government protection starts as a temporary relief. Then the corporations that benefit from those regulations use the extra revenue to lobby for more exclusively beneficial regulations that harm their competitors. The result is copyrights that last for infinity minus one years, infantile industries requiring temporary protections yet never leaving infancy, and regulatory boards staffed by CEOs from the industries they regulate. Copyright law, much like communism and eating ice cream for dinner every night, sounds good only in isolation without a historical perspective.
On a somewhat related topic: is anyone aware of an algorithm that would let people find related/similar symbols? On the symbology sub-reddit the most common question is "what is this symbol" and it would be very helpful to provide a kind of search engine.

> You are moving the goal posts.

A reasonable statement, however I don't consider one paper to be enough evidence for restructuring the entire English language to avoid white/black, light/dark concepts. Not to mention academia is a massive political bubble which is clearly influencing the social sciences right now.

We're clearly not going to see eye to eye here - but I wish you a good day.
> How do you distinguish example.edu/financial-aid/ from example.edu/~some-student/

That's an unrealistic example because no website worth its salt is going to let students put arbitrary content in the same domain as the financial aid system. That's a recipe for leaking cookies that contain session tokens, and displaying a full URL won't save a user.

By the time you see the ~some-student in the URL bar, the security game is over.

Anyways, even if it were equivalent to $30K, as others have suggested, I think that still speaks to my original point. That doesn't exactly hit my threshold for "wow you're definitely super duper well-paid so we should exempt you from non-compete rules because you're making so much damn money".
Thank You. That is a nice way to think about it.
Fantastic - as per earlier comment, I'm thrilled people can share interesting images like this.
It's really funny how you fail to realize that "slave" comes from "Slav".
When we talk about "contractors" I'm presuming the tax term is the important differentiator here. Simply put, if you're a 1099 contractor or corp-to-corp (you are more or less your own employer but as a corp, not your self personally) then you are a value add service and you come complete with all the tools and licenses necessary to perform your function. You naturally write these expenses off as the cost of doing business and reduce your tax burden to some small degree. You charge the client for these items make no mistake, but you hide those charges by averaging them into your hourly bill rate.

Alternatively if you are a W2 "contractor" - the fake way of hiring a full time person through an intermediary agency and not giving them any benefits, well thats a different story. They may call you a "contractor" but you're actually a regular ole employee (you likely don't meet the IRS test for "contractor" in this case even). In this case you collect paychecks and pay out of your own pocket for absolutely no-thing. If you do buy anything you expense it back to your employer for full reimbursement.

Still yet different, a real 1099 "contractor" who works on a time+materials basis can very rightly bill hours AND ask for reimbursement on expenses directly related to performing the paid task. Just the same way that a plumber comes to your house and charges you both for his time and the materials/supplies he consumes to do your job.

So in short, its not uncommon at all but it depends on the terms of the "contract" engagement as to whether or not is applicable in a certain case. If it was negotiated up front then its all good - otherwise it may be looked upon less kindly as a surprise later.
