During bankruptcy, all of your property will be placed in a bankruptcy estate. If you want to keep your home, you can usually exempt it from the estate and will continue to be liable for the mortgage as long as you make payments. If you don’t have enough equity in the property to secure junior liens on the property, such as a home equity loan, those will be stripped away and you’ll only be liable moving forward for the senior lien (primary mortgage).

There’s a lot of nuance, and it’s hard to generalize, but the system is designed to provide some relief in a reasonable manner.
If we get wiped out in a nuclear war or because of global warming in the next 10k years, Homo Sapiens would have been around for less time than Neanderthals. Thus Neanderthals would have been better at surviving than us.

According to wikipedia Homo Sapiens have been around for 300 to 400 thousand years, while Neanderthals existed for 315 thousand to more than 800 thousand years.
Building an API MVP from the Ground Up: Part 5 – Deployment
Homo Neanderthalis has been found in europe, the middle east, the altai mountains, armenia and other places. The were widespread, and interbred with sapiens, denisovans and probably other types.

There is even renewed interest in finding American and/or Australian neanderthals and denisovans... As the known range has grown, those seem more plausible.

Maybe in some European countries. The Dutch public health authorities are very skeptical about the usefulness of masks and continue to resist a mask requirement except in places where distancing is impossible (like public transport).

Not the OP but the expectations were that in 6 months' time we would have gotten better at treating at least "some" of the disease. No-one knowledgeable enough expected a vaccine by this autumn but some people were hoping for a greatly increased standard of covid care in August 2020 compared to February 2020.

Re: the vaccine thing, I don't think that's logistically possible to give the vaccine to billions of people in less than a year (even a 50% covid vaccination rate for our species would mean administering 3.5-4 billion vaccines), so 2022 at the earliest looks like our best bet (hoping that we'd actually have the vaccine by early 2021). Looking at past vaccination campaigns I personally think that even a 3-5 year timeframe looks optimistic, but that's just me.

it’s interesting to consider that cable news networks operated via a sort of primitive, relatively slower version of the youtube/facebook method of radicalization-by-algorithm to drive further engagement in advertising supported media.

unfortunately, i think if you fixed cable news tomorrow, it’s already well too late.
The two biggest problems in the USA:

1. Education is not a priority.
2. The populous by and large accepts cable news as "news" and not as capitalist entertainment.

Solve the first problem and you solve the second - give it a decade or two and this place isn't nearly as bad off as it's become in the last 20 years.

Think I was using the wrong terminology. What I meant is that your ORM code in the app needs to reflect your database pretty much exactly, otherwise you can get unwanted migrations.

Which is in most cases desirable, but for example if you want to use database features that SQLAlchemy/Alembic don't (yet) support it can get a bit messy and/or require some manual plumbing to keep getting the migrations you want.
>> it’s about high performance computing.

Yes. That's what I said. So, advocating for Rust in a non-high-perf requirement project makes for extra effort/optimization where it is not needed. Speed of dev, correctness, ease of maintenance are needed though. Optimizing for the sexy rather than the needed is a textbook machismo attitude. Good for CV-builders and for ego maybe but it usually hurts the company and the maintainers down the road.

In Postgres, NULL values take one bit of storage as far as I understand. So a table has to be very, very wide before this becomes a benefit. Of course if you have attributes that you don't control but are e.g. user-specified, JSONB column are a good choice.

I really don't understand this, when I use a library in my codebase I make sure I understand the licencing implications of using said library. When I add an extension to my IDE, I make sure I understand the licencing implications. If I add and extension to my IDE, I have modified my IDE beyond the base IDE, I should very well know the implications of doing so. It is no big secret that these two extensions are not FOSS tools. Some people care, some people don't but if a developer is blindly adding stuff to their IDE without knowing the ramifications, I would certainly question their judgment and I would certainly question their judgment if they are under the assumption that every extension out there is FOSS.
"All major platforms offer advanced text rendering support."

No, they don't realy.

I think you're missing a few pieces in your understanding of what the platform does in these contexts

The platform does not support text rendering for Qt and such platforms. They are rendered 'from scratch'.

Some platforms offer some built in components, but even they are quite limited.

No platform offers the ability, out of the box, to do for example, a 'coded editor' with properly highlighted syntax. Not even close.

"Most games do actual text rendering properly."

They are 'rendering text properly' for the extremely limited subset of text that they put on the screen.

Have you ever used even a basic 'text editor' in a game? No? Because they don't even do that.

" you can't open 100K lines of formatted code"

"You definitely can, but not naively."

'Natively' means nothing on the context of 'browser'. If you mean to say 'the browser doesn't do it out of the box' - then ok, yes, we agree. And why not, because it's extremely hard?

There are 0 comprehensive text APIs that are built upon gaming or even 3D engines today. Most of the barely handle basic text formatting. They put a few lines of text on the screen in a limited number of languages, and that's it.

There are very, very few platforms that offer comprehensive text rendering, including Qt, GTK, and native platform components - they're basic.

Providing comprehensive text API is not only something that has to be layered on top of those things - they also have to 'hack' those platforms to work around inherent bugs and limitations.
Technically yes, but you need a screwdriver to turn it. Just as well, most people wouldn't know how to turn it and make things worse.

And zero runtime cost abstractions. And having a non-profit to shepherd the project (and thereby having a good chance that you may influence the project). And strong typesafety. And design by committee (see how async-await was "agreed" upon).

Also Rust is called a multi-paradigm prog lang in the article: I dont think so. Scala is. Rust is not. It brings as much FP features into the language without sacrificing its core paradigm: an imperative systems language.

This is FUD unless you source your claims.

- Almost no one does accessibility properly in web apps. Even native apps get it wrong more often than not.

- Using Electron does not give you accessibility in any way.

- What laws? I use everyday general purpose commercial applications, both webapps and native apps, with glaring accessibility flaws and I do not see anybody caring to sue.

- I don't know of any business doing general purpose commercial applications that has faced any issues with that.

While they didn't survive until today, they did survive for far longer than we have so far managed to, and in incredibly hostile conditions for the most part, which in itself is an enormous feat and makes you wonder, how did they do it?

They also never completely vanished; I have a number Neanderthal-specific alleles (more than most), as have pretty much all people of not exclusively subsaharan descent, and these alleles seem to have some pretty profound effects, some of them quite negative. That may be because these alleles evolved to work in concert with others that we haven't inherited, or for some other reason, but that would be quite valuable knowledge for a huge lot of people.

Besides, they're also a fascinating part of our collective history. They apparently had a unique and rich culture of their own; they are thought to have produced works of art before we even arrived in Europe[0] and they built pretty big structures out of stalagmites that appear to have no obvious practical purpose, in Bruniquel cave[1], about 176,000 years ago; by comparison, our ancestors seem to have started doing comparable things only ~60-50ka ago.

> Cell-by-cell notebooks like Jupyter are great for prototyping, explaining and exploration, but their dependence on a Python server (with often undocumented dependencies) limits their ability to be shared and remixed. Now that browsers support dynamic imports, it has become possible to create a similar workflow entirely in the browser.

Pretty cool. As someone involved in building a machine learning platform which also allows users to leverage Jupyter notebooks, I feel your pain. We had to add many features to make working on non trivial projects more feasible. For example near-real-time collaboration so people could pair-program on one notebook.

One other problem you mention is the kernel in the backend. The problem with that is often found in issues where a user launches a long-running notebook, closes their tab/browser. The computation happens but the results don't find their way, which means users must have code for side effects and artifacts in the notebook.

We've added a functionality to run notebooks asynchronously to address that problem, which also addresses the problem of multiple users competing for limited resources (tragedy of the commons) and kernels dying. Now users can run their notebooks asynchronously: they're scheduled, run, and saved seamlessly.

Jupyter is a useful tool which has these problems that aren't trivial to solve. For example, for the near-real-time collaboration, the Jupyter team is revamping their API with Lumino (https://github.com/jupyterlab/lumino), which was PhosphorJS but the development stopped when the main contributor had retired.

const value can be redeclared in a different scope - but to be very precise; this is not really question of (im)mutability - it is a different value inside a scope, the original value is not changed.

Other thing is (and I believe this is what the OP is asking you) - if you say:

const a = 1;

a will always be 1 (inside the scope).

Sure if you say:

const o = { a: 1};

you can change the value of a inside the o, but the o (the pointer as the OP is saying) is not changed. I have 0 experience with Elm, but a _lot_ of popular languages have this behaviour for const/final
The Pandemic Is a Dress Rehearsal
Of course we take risks, but every rational human being does so in accordance to receiving some perceived value, reward, or return out of it. As it stands right now, there is literally no reason to take a MAX flight, unless you just absolutely had to get somewhere and it was the only flight available to you (unlikely).

One potential case I could see is the price of MAX flights drop low enough so that price conscious consumers decide the risk is now warranted. But that hasn't happened yet. Thus, no reason to take the unnecessary risk at this time. Future factors may change this equation.
