I am a native speaker, and I've heard "a riot" used to describe "a good time", but in isolation I'd definitely also picture the violent protest type of riot.

That said, this doesn't appear to to be a common usage in the US. Webster doesn't have this usage, Wiktionary describes it as obselete and pairs it more with excess than I would, (also they use fifteenth century examples), though Oxford has it.

Oh! That beautifully captures my own thinking about this, and I've expanded on that over the years.

For instance, that desire and that decision aren't a guarantee that you will end up having biological children, nor that having them will bring you happiness. Barring medical or financial conditions, there are so many other reasons why one ends up not having them, a lot of them being circumstantial and outside of an individual's control e.g. who gets to cross your path, who becomes your partner, a cultural context, events affecting your family and so on.

That deep emotional and spiritual desire to live and love as a foundational directive, also pushes you to reflect, shape and reshape your personal story and your identity as you move through life. It sparks existential questions to which insights only come through time and the compounding of experience. This is a most deeply individual aspect of living.

In a way, that same desire isn't binary. It's not one or the either. It includes doubt and leaning back and forth between stances depending on one's circumstances and experience. Like a bell curve, some will feel deeply bereft if they remain childless, many will consider that a scenario with a worthwhile alternative for parenthood is just as valid an option to them, and some have a deep sated desire to remain child free.

Reflecting and reconsidering doesn't stop when one has become a parent either. Many will vocally state that parenthood - or remaining without children - was the best thing they did in life, but there are also those that deeply regret their choice. As culture, past and present, tends to emphasis the importance of having children and espouses the merits of parenthood, this is only discussed in a most apprehensive manner, which leads to misguided generalisations and dismissive tropes. This renders an important part of our human condition moot: that personal responsibility is inevitably bounded by constraints which are necessarily outside the control of an individual.

There are many ways to self-actualize that emotional and spiritual desire to live and love, and having and raising biological children is one of many possible pathways. And so, the framework of values and beliefs you've developed which underpins and drives your own personal narrative, doesn't necessarily apply to the lives of anyone else.

Hardware Is Hard but Essential
Interesting theory. How’d you come to that conclusion?
It is the primary energy system. When a woman get pregnat, weeks before giving birth, she starts to produce ketones for the baby (it doesn't matter how many sugar the mum takes). And when the baby is born, meanwhile he drinks from mum milk he is in ketosis, because more than 50% of human milk is saturated fats. So yeah, we are in ketosis until we start to eat "food" high in carbs. The body can't burn fats if insuline is in your blood.

From the original finding:

"The Commission's investigation concluded that Ireland granted illegal tax benefits to Apple, which enabled it to pay substantially less tax than other businesses over many years. In fact, this selective treatment allowed Apple to pay an effective corporate tax rate of 1 percent on its European profits in 2003 down to 0.005 percent in 2014." [1]

If you're that leveraged, it simply becomes a gamble which might or might not pay off.

Please not.

Sincerely,

a programmer from a language that allows this.

(To elaborate: Perl and Raku allow this. It's not a bad idea on its own, but it comes with lots of tradeoffs that, IMHO, don't fit with the design of Python).
I wonder how much of Airbnb is a retread of 2008, where you have people massively over-leveraged on rental properties that they could never afford without constant, growing bookings.
In Python, yes.

If you have a decent language and a good compiler / interpreter, then the recursion with function calls will have no overhead over iteration. (Basically, in Haskell or Scheme your recursion will be compiled into the same machine language sequence of straight-line code plus conditional jump as the iterative loop.)

But, agreed with everything else you wrote!
Maybe the answer is simpler than that. Rotating a key should never be painful. If you accidentally reveal a key, it should be straightforward to change it (I'm sure your audience will understand if you take a one minute break).
If you want an example of this, check out r/cscareerquestions. The standard advice is not to practice any practical coding with projects, but to "grind leetcode" to get past interview filters.
It’s amazing to me that Airbnb tells people that it’s up to them to determine if their contributions are tax deductible. Why would they even write this? Hosts on Airbnb are for-profit enterprises. I’ve never heard or a registered non-profit running Airbnb rentals. What are they thinking?
Agreed. I only left that out for brevity.
Related to this, what do dogs and other carnivores use? Are they always running on ketones?
I got prompted to donate to a host I stayed with for a few days and only saw once many-many months ago.

Heck NO! What is their reasoning here!? I have zero emotional connection with that person. Nor do I think they are entitled to my charity.
Just to expand on this, at least in Mandarin, one types out phonetic Latin alphabet-based pinyin and the system prompts you with choices of matching symbols in the same way that predictive keyboards show you words. You select which characters to insert by clicking/tapping on them or hitting a number key. The only big difference is that the same pinyin might correspond to any number of characters and you might have to search through a lot, but context and frequency helps it suggest the right ones to you. (Mandarin only has 409 different pinyin 'syllables' when ignoring tones, which aren't typed in this system. Even with tones, there's only like 1200. These map to many thousands of characters, obviously not one-to-one. Depending on how you count, English has something like 16000 syllables.)

If he brought up a "that is what they accused Germany of in the first world war" or said "Well of course the Jews would claim that after the expropriation, they have interests against Germany!" nobody would try to argue in good faith that he wasn't denying the Holocaust while justifying it.
Are you suggesting it is better for Apple to keep it all rather than Ireland have to share with the rest of the EU?

Those aren't related. I'm from Romania, which has:

1. A higher population population than Croatia.
2. Higher emigration than Croatia.
3. A lower fertility rate than Croatia.

And yes, the economy is going up despite people becoming old, dying, or just leaving the country. But the reason for that is temporary, it's because Croatia, just like Romania, is still a developing country, you're converting low productivity workers to higher productivity ones.

But how long do you think this can last? What happens when active people are 1/3rd of the population or less and there are no more easy gains to be had?

I just said that things won't look like in Fallout, so why are you even mentioning "apocalyptic hellhole"?

A country doesn't lose 20% or more of its population without major changes happening. It's extremely optimistic to hope that there won't be at least some major negative changes.
Shadow banning is the most effective
It is, after all, their area of expertise.
Being a regular customer in a very hot market (Dublin) I can attest that most of the places I've been to were grossly overpriced and let's not speak about the quality.

Back in the fat cows era (up until a few months ago) it seemed that Airbnb was synonymous to "if you have a spare doghouse in a hot overpriced market then you can make very good money out of it". Not to mention how airbnb was contributing to such markets to get even more overpriced by causing shortages.

And now they are urging customers to sponsor hosts...

Yup. Definitely someone there must have lost it entirely.

You know who's still paying their rent on time?

The government.

The section 8 landlords are enjoying some serious schadenfreude right now because even though they only cash small checks once a month they're the only ones still cashing checks at all.

Short term rentals have an effective monthly rent far in excess of the normal monthly rent for equivalent accommodations. With this payoff comes risk. The money source can dry up on you much faster. I have no more sympathy for people who went all in on AirBNB than I do for people who went all in on day trading.

Why, though? The advantage of small launchers is the ability to put your smallsat into a dedicated orbit, which is not possible with a rideshare.

It's basically the choice of investing in R&D and adding launch mass for an on-sat propulsion system or paying extra for an exclusive ride.

An additional propulsion system not only increases risk, it also adds a substantial amount of cost and may turn a mission into the next bigger class - in terms of mass, overall cost, and development time - which may negate any saving in launch cost.

Edit: you can of course simply wait for an opportunity to launch as a secondary payload into the desired orbit, but that waiting time might be years...
That is fishy.

Perl allows optional delims if ambigious. so if the best set <> is ambigious double or triple them.
But much easier would be to demand uppercase T type variables.

a, b = w < x, y > (z)

w is lowercase, unambigious. Parsed as list of comparisons.

a, b = T < x, y > (z)

Ambigious, so use

a, b = T <<< x, y >>> (z)

instead. These cases are very rare. Or demand parens for such ambigious lists of comparisons. Might be too late already.

Of just demand the type keyword there also:

a, b = w < type x, y > (z)
Probably because we can store far more fats than we can carbs. It makes sense to use the carbs first because that avoids the need to convert them to fats so they aren't wasted.

I am Irish and perfectly fine with this being overturned. Irish capitalists will love it, Irish socialists will hate it, same as the rest of the World it depends on your personal prism. Overall seems the EC claim was weak enough to be overturned by appeal, so clearly not a water-tight case, burden of prove not strong enough:

"The EU's General Court said it had annulled that decision because the Commission had not proved that Apple had broken competition rules."
An horrible company that makes great product. Such is my dilemma with Apple!
I thought so too (not a native English speaker, had never seen that word before) until I read a quote from Linus saying that he likes to name his projects after himself.
This was really short sighted given Airbnb have claimed since the beginning to regulators, local authorities and the public that they exist only to provide a platform for people to rent out their spare rooms when it's convenient for them. Their core claim is that they are not a hotel company, which is how they manage to skirt so many hotel regulations. Built into these claims is the assumption that the owners of the properties offered on the platform can afford to keep them without renting then out full time, since it's supposed to be their primary home.

In reality, Airbnb is a glorified hotel room broker but with added facilitation of discrimination, normalisation of the charging of extra fees such as for "cleaning" (how have hotels managed to get by since time immemorial without charging one!?), rating obfuscation and a huge negative impact on local rental prices with landlords assembling empires of dozens of Airbnb properties. The fact Airbnb were so tone deaf to all this, asking the public to offset the losses made by landlords in times like these is really incredible.
Yes! Randomised algorithms are my favourite.

You can sometimes put all the randomness in one part of the algorithm, even. Like shuffling before a naive quicksort.

In practice that's often even easier to understand (and debug!) than algorithms that keep making random choices as they run.

Shuffling and sorting are two humble but powerful building blocks of many algorithms. Both distributed and sequential.

In the example of what I did at Goldman, the core of the problem was essentially a souped up multi-dimensional bin packing problem. The big insight was that the typical distribution of our input data, random assignments had a high enough chance of being good, so we didn't need to keep track of everything in k-d-trees.

(k-d-trees are also awesome. And I even implemented randomized k-d-treaps at first, before I hit on an even simpler solution.)
Transfer pricing and tax havens are draining money out of the economies of most European countries, breaking the virtuous cycle where consumer spending also leads to salaries, taxes and more investment in the community, to keep the economy going - instead we have a shrinking middle class, as the fuel is drained from the engine. Ireland, Luxembourg and certain other countries are complicit in this. We clearly need better tax laws to combat this, but I'm glad the commission is trying to fight this to the extent they can within current laws, and I hope they win the case on appeal.
It could be. But they're only going to piss off the EU even more with these moves.

Right now Apple is probably winning a battle but might be losing the war. The next big EU mandate, besides tackling climate change, will probably be clamping down on tax shenanigans.

Next time they won't even be able to win anything as the law will be explicitly against such corporate maneuvers.
It's paid in the US. The EU is mad that they aren't getting it and have been targeting American companies for atleast 5 years.

"The role of EU state aid control is to ensure Member States do not give selected companies a better tax treatment than others, via tax rulings or otherwise."
Because most people in modern society eat way too much carb, which makes glycogen the more bio available fuel and thus being the fuel that majority of humans use in modern times. It has not always been like this. And this state is not optimal, as the various diseases and illnesses caused by metabolic syndrome, that is caused by this overload of carbs, is a major problem for the health and well being of most of these people.
Depending on what the app is for there's probably some nuance needed to that approach - you want to catch people harassing other users early, but you also absolutely don't want to be snooping through legitimate conversations of that nature between two consenting users. I guess its less of an issue if you're at the sort of scale where you have external moderators, but most things like this start off with a few staff members and maybe some community members doing the moderating.

FreePascal WebAssembly is almost fully there and FPC already has plenty of supported targets, basically almost any CPU that matters.

However it is your project, your decisions.
It is. I even mentioned it is nice to have engineers be able to move through the company and be familiar with the tools (this is also called standardization).

But if you have only simple applications you will be surprised how complex it is sometimes to debug k8s problems compared to what you would expect from a simple application.

If some of your applications already have very complex deployment needs then you are replacing one complex homemade process for another complex GP solution.
I am absolutely under-served by their existing line up - what's the point of a 64 core CPU that has only 256GB of RAM? That's only 2GB/thread. I can also build a far better machine than any OEM can provide me and select appropriate components for my needs, including a breathtaking case design that is nothing like a random workstation box provided by an OEM or a high-end water cooling for all subparts. If you are already spending money on 3990X, you can afford 1TB+ RAM, but there is no way... Assembling an own machine is a question of 2-3 hours tops. That's definitely a small fixed amount of time compared to life-time time savings - was that a joke?
It's called investing. Investing is another name for risking. Those people risked. Atm they are losing. In future they might gain. Heck, for years before that they were gaining big time.

My wife and I have been on and off keto for long stints (6 months) at a time. We eat what most people would consider low carb--no bread or pasta most of the time. Occasionally we sneak in binges of fruit or have ice cream.

Despite times over a week we have carbs both of us never leave ketosis. We seem to stay 1.0 mmol/L or greater even after having carbs.
