Our immune systems are very complex and unique! If you want to apply scientific method and improve outcomes (safety, efficacy), then there is a lot more data to collect. Sharing that data and allowing recipients to own their data, would go a long way towards improving vaccine safety and allow for customization as needed. My children have had ~minor/moderate reactions to the varicella vaccine (fluid on my son's hip joint ~2" from injection site at 23 days--ER doctors just shrug), my daughter a moderate rash. How could these be improved? Guillain-Barre is very real side effect as well. How can it be avoided? I accumulate metals easily, so Al, a potent neurotoxin hangs out in my system much longer than others (possible/probable HLA variant). Shouldn't the adjuvant for my vaccines exclude Al?

Measuring temperature & physical symptoms is a good start. It would be great if these trials would measure each recipients HLA SNPs (see GSK MERS 2009 fiasco and others), T-cells (CD4/8/57/etc), inflammation markers like C3a,C4a,TGF-b, MMP-9, and cytokines like TNF-a -- before and after each vaccine dose. Measuring for all ingredients pre-post each dose is also important because the metabolization for each component is not uniform. Stop using 2010+ technology to make vaccines & medications and then evaluating the applied result with 1990s (or earlier) methods.

So if you want to shut up 'anti-vaxxers' than collect/share the data from everyone who receives a vaccine and improve the process instead of shrouding results or conducting half-assed studies (AstraZeneca using meningitis vaccine as control instead of true placebo).
Does that actually happen to people? I thought it wasn't too common. My family gets this warning every year when we get our shots, but we never experience any of those effects. My kids complain about the arm pain, but even I don't get that part of it. Nothing changes for me after getting the flu vaccine (other than the protection of course).

Just to be clear I do HIIT, strength training, and (my favorite) lots of yard work regularly and the flu vaccine doesn't interfere with any of that.
> The idea that non-black people say 'All lives matter' only to prevent change is probably not correct

Isn't it? Which genuine pre-existing police reform campaigns are using that phrase? Do you have any examples?

> And the reactions like the one I quoted above only serve to divide folks rather than find common ground

People are told that "all lives matter", in that specific phrasing, is divisive, and keep using it. If you say "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights", you're quoting from the universal declaration of human rights and uncontrovesial (in the west!)

> I think you're missing the possibility that there are conservatives who want police use of force reform too but want to do so in a color/ethnicity agnostic way

Are there? Who? More importantly, how? And I don't think any of the specific BLM proposals are actually race-specific, are they?
Hmm, I think you're using the word "boilerplate" differently than it is usually used. The changes you're proposing are functional changes that can't be transparently applied by a compiler/interpreter without changing behavior.

Currying is a subset of partial application, which Python supports via the standard library. Universal currying would be terser in some situations, but it conflicts with Python's args/kwargs implementation. Frankly, I don't think currying is a good thing even in languages such as Haskell where it doesn't conflict, as it makes it much less clear what the flow is when functions can be called with different signatures.

Anonymous function arguments, I'm just not sure what you're talking about there.

Explicitly converting higher order function results to lists is not boilerplate, it's a meaningful difference. The explicit conversion allows you to determine when code is actually executed, instead of having it executed eagerly. Universal lazy application like in Haskell has broader implications which are generally negative, particularly with regards to performance and being able to reason about execution: production Haskell often turns this off, and for good reason.

The lambda keyword is arguably boilerplate, but I'm skeptical of whatever alternate syntax you're proposing there. C#-style anonymous functions wouldn't work with Python syntax. If you're proposing people use the λ symbol, I'm going to frankly say that's a bad idea, because most developers' keyboards don't have that symbol. Like it or not, English with a latin keyboard is the lingua franca of software--if you want to target another language that would be reasonable, but that's a big choice with broader implications.

I work for an accounting company with a few hundred workers, who every month had to submit a lot of files, and collect a lot of documents from human-only websites.

About two years ago I built a custom workflow engine in python where I had a few primitives (filesystem, database access, browser (puppeteer scripts), etc), and would define a workflow using those primitives using a YAML DSL.

In a couple weeks I ported the whole thing to Temporal (Java client), where each of those primitive groups is a different activity, which runs in a separate worker. I have a browser worker, which runs in the only servers that have internet access, a filesystem worker, which is on a Windows machine serving as an entrypoint to the company's windows filesystem, a database worker, etc.

This is all very scalable, and I can run as many of each worker and the engine itself as I like.

Currently the scale is not too big though. I launch a few "main" workflows in certain days of the month that will then spawn up to 4 thousand child workflows which run simultaneously with no problem.

I'm not here to argue the merits of JK Rowlings' statement but I do think you're vastly overestimating your group if you think "most of modern society" is on your side in this subject.

I've read (one of) JK Rowlings' latest blog entries, and while I don't personally agree with her statements they seemed far, far more reasonable and debatable than what the internet made of it.

The internet made it seem like she was going to war against transgenders...

This blindness afflicts people who self-identify as "rational" the most, in my opinion. They see themselves as strong, independent thinkers who are immune from efforts to manipulate. No one is immune, the same way no human is independent in the way that individualists would hope they are.

Fairly sure MLK had something to say about this, and that it was impossible to "not be divisive" when talking about race.

The MateBook really is a nice looking laptop. The folks I've known that have purchased them have all run into reliability issues within a year (non-booting machines, spacebar stops working, other weird things) I looked into them before I bought my Thinkpad X1C. I still like that screen though.
I've seen what you're talking about, but the false dichotomy I am referring to is between the real political implementations of the Republicans and Democrats, which don't really seem that different from my outside-of-America perspective. Neither party seems capable of fixing anything, or building the infrastructure they promise, or really protecting the Americans they purport to represent. The same moneyed interests continue to exert the same amount of control regardless. The same foreign policies and the same sabre rattling happens.

The actual _people_ have much wider divergence of opinions, for sure. I don't expect a Republican to go around chanting the slogans of people who have declared themselves to be their enemies; why would they?
But it's kind of moot what he, specifically, wants to say, no? Shouldn't we instead try to work towards a society where no opinion is taboo?

It seems to me that the biggest reason why some opinions are taboo is that we're worried (usually for good reason) they'll find supporters. Instead of making opinions taboo, we should work on an educational system that doesn't let harmful opinions take hold of people.

No. Tax is not an EU competency, which is what the whole point of this appeal was from an Irish perspective. Of course it could be made one as part of a treaty, but I don't see that France/Germany's approach to taxation is inherently better than Ireland's.

That's not enough. The condition system decouples the act of signaling a condition from the act of deciding how to handle it. This means that the promise would need to reach out to its dynamic environment to figure out what it would need to do in case of errors and restarts.

And that also only handles the case of "help I'm ded get me out of here". What about signals that do not expect to be handled, and instead are used to transfer information higher up the stack by invoking a handler function specified in the dynamic environment? That's a valid use of the condition system, as outlined in the book.

Working primarily on autonomous systems from robotics to avionics I have needed to use quite a few data structures and algorithms including:

- Space partitioning such as octrees

- Finite-state machines

- Behaviour trees (I much prefer to state machines)

- Too many machine learning and deep learning algorithms to list

I have also had to come up with boutique solutions to a number of problems. Even though I have never failed to deliver a solution in the real world I doubt I would pass any sort of algorithm interview without significant study. I don't rote memorize things and only (quickly) learn what is relevant when it is required to solve a problem. Unfortunately I also do not know of any quick way to test for that sort of ability that would be suitable for an interview.

The problem with the slogan black lives matter is that it is so obviously a straw man as are all "____ lives matter" slogans. Except for some truly tiny pockets in the US, the overwhelming majority of people believe black lives matter, even most that use the expression "all lives matter" in earnest. My observation is that almost everyone I've seen use the term "all lives matter" is doing so as a response to a straw man. Most people who have been arguing on the internet long enough can agree that as satisfying as a straw man argument is to use, it's almost invariably counterproductive to convincing your interlocutor of responding positively to whatever point you're trying to make. Why? Because by responding with a straw man, you've demonstrated that you're not going to interpret any response from your interlocutor charitably and that's just getting off on the wrong foot.

The slogans black lives matter, all lives matter, blue lives matter, etc., are all straw men slogans/arguments that communicate to whomever you're speaking with that you're not planning on interpreting them charitably.

A minor correction: carbs are not necessarily empty calories. If you consider only sugary soda, then yes. There’s no one verb either. There are simple carbs, complex carbs, etc. The best kind of carbs are from whole foods (not refined where fiber and other nutrients are removed).

You are confusing disagreement with racism. Saying "Black Lives Matter" has the connotation that the police force has "systemic racism" against black people, and the phrase "All Lives Matter" is intended to explicitly affirm the literal aspect of the phrase while disagreeing with the connotative element. Disagreement with important, factual claims is not racism.
I think there is a schism in people holding left-of-center (US context) views. I see liberals as placing a higher value on a consistent application of values and less emphasis on outcomes. I see progressives as more focused on outcomes than the means used to obtain them.

Cynically phrased, a critique of liberals from progressives would be that liberals are okay dithering and letting injustices stand. A liberal criticism of progressives is that they have adopted an “ends justify the means” philosophy. Additionally liberals might question whether the “ends” are good and on what authority that determination was made.

For much of my life it has felt that progressives and liberals were closely enough aligned to more be interchangeable in practice. But, I think the aforementioned cancel culture is one area where progressives see necessary change, while liberals see a sacrifice of ideals.

I’m not sure my definition of progressive vs. liberal is accurate historically speaking, but this is how I interpret the current left-left divide in at least the US.

If that were true, then you would see significant anti-police violence protests under the banner of "all lives matter." I will happily acknowledge that people who are protesting, or agitating for change, by using that phrase are (likely) not using it as a dogwhistle. But I've seen no one who does that. I've only seen the phrase used as a response to people fighting for black lives.

Privilege isn't necessarily bad; it's the lack of access and opportunity that is afforded by privilege that is a problem.

Consider the thread the other day regarding the privilege of beauty: it's not bad to be beautiful, and it's not bad to find beauty aesthetically pleasing, but it becomes a problem when individuals are denied access and opportunities because they lack beauty but where beauty should not be a factor.
> legitimacy of transgender women

What does this even mean? Like, how can someone not be "legitimate"? Does it mean "illegal" as in illegal alien? Is anyone claiming that trans citizens should be deported? Or does it mean "imaginary"? Trans people obviously exist.

JKRowling is simply pointing out that the word "woman", which used to have the clear and simple meaning of "female human" (or sometimes "adult female human"), was now not only redefined & politicized to basically mean "opinion" (or "a woman is someone who thinks they're a woman" which is a clearly nonsensical recursive definition) and is used for Orwellian speech control.
I used SWF for an auto-failover scenario many years back and found it very effective. I always liked the fact that worker machines could be on-premise if needed. I think Step Functions can also interoperate with on-premise resources/code also, though I have yet to work with Step Functions so far.
To me it looks like financial interest packaged in vague claim of freedom, too. Yes, 30% is ridiculous, that's what you could really call an Apple tax, but arguments such as "Russian startups fail to make money by paying 30% to Apple" are equally ridiculous. It's just about his game platform, and the money it would have made.
