YAML offers a simple solution though: just quote all one-word text and, more importantly, quote all text you don't manually write into the YAML file.

Also, the main problem is that excel changes your input instead of just misinterpreting it. The difference being, the original will be gone.

I always just assumed that there are few insects now because there are so many more insecticides in use, this is the first time I've heard of lights. There's not much explaination in this article, but here's one with some more:

Nighttime Light Pollution May Be Cause of Insect Population Decline

https://www.photonics.com/Articles/Nighttime_Light_Pollution...

"An analysis of the effects of artificial light at night on insects shows that there is strong evidence to suggest a link between nighttime light pollution and declines in insect populations."
It is interesting given that it seems in a lot of ways, overall trends did not change much since Carlin did hit special on suicides ( men do it more often than women, US leads with guns suicides ) suggesting it is something stable within the human population. Maybe it is a built-in way for basic population control.

But suicides are interesting topic to me all in the themselves.

Personally, I have no problem with suicide since I see it as a personal choice ( as in my body, my right to die ). It seems most people object based on how it affects them. Very selfish.
I’m pretty bullish on this concept finding market fit, probably less confident about the business model being great. The super interesting feature IMO is how much this lowers the cost to enter the market. I imagine this are super short term leases (maybe...per shift?), no need for POS, simple bulk ordering etc. shifting capex to opex for small businesses will open up the market to a lot of new entrants. I think a comparison to AWS is fair here.

On the financial side, it sort of seems like a race to the bottom for the landlords. I don’t think they’ll have anything like the lock-in AWS has and given how significant the expense will be I would imagine teams being pretty willing to jump for a small savings (which goes to straight to the bottom line). IMO this would be a great move by one of the apps to own, as controlling distribution would lock tenants in.
Good advice, thanks for sharing.

I’d just keep in mind that there are no guarantees that kids will share our passions, even with the best approach. Humans are complex systems - it is very hard (and you would need need a lot of data) to make any general statement about things like this.

Hi HN!

I've been working on this off and on for a few years. With the advent of service-specific CLI clients, I wanted to provide something service-agnostic that fulfilled a specific use case that annoyed me.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian_Revolution#Rise_and_ex...

suggests a pretty direct line between the perception of the Shah as foreign influenced and Khomeini as the local boy.

(Being a westerner, the aims of the White Revolution looked pretty good to me. With hindsight, a Red Iran, like a Red Afghanistan, may have turned out to be a much less prickly neighbour in the twenty-first century. To this day Iran and the US do not have diplomatic relations, requiring others to serve as go-betweens. They would be geopolitical "seconds" if this were not a world that now frowns upon duelling.)

There's an interesting device update story here. This works on the Nexus 5, released in 2013, and using this update doesn't require a reboot. Similarly, the latest version of Chrome works on the Nexus 4, released in 2012.
I think most of the information you're looking for is documented in the specs:

https://github.com/status-im/specs/tree/master/docs

https://github.com/vacp2p/specs/tree/master/specs

Monetary incentivization for running a mailserver is being researched and (afaik) is not yet implemented or specified. There is a relevant discussion forum:

https://forum.vac.dev/

Activity there is currently light because most core contributors' time, at present, is being spent on other pressing tasks.

See also: https://discuss.status.im/
To be clear (and I realize this wasn't quite clear), I wasn't talking about pure monetary ROI, but rather "return" in terms of satisfaction of your preferences.

I.e., a job paying a lot of money is "return" on investment; but so is a job that pays a lot of experience, or satisfaction. Meanwhile, a job that takes a lot of time to do requires a larger "investment" (in terms of the set of BATNA jobs you could otherwise be doing with your skills); but so do jobs that don't take very long, but are more physically demanding/emotionally draining, or where the client keeps jerking you around by changing the requirements. If working the job makes your utility go up (i.e. makes your life better), it's a positive-ROI job. If it makes your life worse, it's a negative-ROI job.

So, let me restate: in some verticals, while the clients do pay a livable time-and-materials wage for the region and experience level... they expect far more labor (and far more highly-skilled labor) for their dollar than that dollar "should" be able to get them, such that the net utility from anyone taking that job is negative, even if they're "making money."

These businesses get by mostly on exploiting young IT ingenues who don't yet realize their worth, and so are willing to give a try to e.g. "program a social-networking app" for $2000; or to e.g. "set up a PXE Linux automatic memory-testing boot env and Windows system-image deployment pipeline" for $300.

(These are both things I naively got myself into when I was younger. Amusingly, I was in over my head on the social-networking app, but managed to complete the hardware qualification+deployment env just fine. And my only major obstacle for the social-networking app, was that the client insisted that it needed to be hosted on some free ISP hosting they had, and thus needed to be written in PHP4. Which I didn't even complain about... it was just a language I wasn't very familiar with, so I tried to learn it while working. Sigh.)

In other words, these companies try to get newbies to do senior-level work, paying only newbie costs. Sometimes, surprisingly, that works! And they survive entirely because it sometimes works.

It's basically the "my nephew knows computers, he can certainly repair mine" mindset applied to corporate planning.
She has been mentioned in comments before. Mostly in the context of compiler optimization, programming models, the history of C vs. other programming languages as systems programming language, and so on. Mostly an excerpt from a book where she said in an interview something along the lines of "We had such good things, and then came C..." (implying we lost the good things(with C))
This is likely because stabilizers don't make sense for the usecase of those in the southern US. Canoes there were typically used navigating between rivers, creeks, and lakes where the stabilizer would be cumbersome due to plant life and just size. Ocean going canoes, or canoes on large rivers don't encounter these problems in the same way making stabilizers worthwhile
This. Though pretentious "experts" push it as "a must know for senior JS developers". Same with closures. Sure, it's nice to know when you create a closure by accident, but using it on purpose? Come on. It's all hacks for implementing "private" modules.

Very impressive. Still there’re couple of issues there.

This comment is incorrect:
https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson/blob/v0.4.7/src/haswell...

The behavior of that instruction is well specified for all inputs. If the high bit is set, the corresponding output byte will be 0. If the high bit is zero, only the lower 4 bits will be used for the index. Ability to selectively zero out some bytes while shuffling is useful sometimes.

I’m not sure about this part:

popcnt instruction is very fast, the latency is 3 cycles on Skylake, and only 1 cycle on Zen2. It produces same result without RAM loads and therefore without taking precious L1D space. The code uses popcnt sometimes, but apparently the lookup table is still used in other places.

Maybe the argument that suicide hurts the people around the person who killed themself can be helpful by reminding people that there's others who care about them who would want to help if they could. Either way, it seems to be enough for some people, and I think if it helps people through a crisis then it's an argument worth repeating.

(EDIT: I am a bit wrong here, and I'm grateful to mthoms below for pointing it out!)

It doesn't tell you how each country defines a death by suicide. It doesn't tell you if that definition has changed over time. It doesn't tell you whether they tried, nor how they've tried, to correct for different definitions of suicide. It talks about age-standardised rates, but doesn't tell you how they standardised for age. And then it puts it all together in very authoritative graphs and charts and invites the audience to draw conclusions and create a narrative and over-interpet the data.

"This country has a high suicide rate because of school pressure"; "that country has a high rate because there are lots of lonely young men", "this country has huge problems with alcohol dependency so of course their rate is higher". These may be true, but we can't tell from OurWorldInData.

I urge you to be cautious when reading this data, especially if you're comparing one country to another.

I have a similar set up. I got some Thunderbolt dock for the mac and a USB input switcher that I connect all my peripherals to and can press a button to switch between the Macbook dock and my Windows PC. The only unoptimized part is I just use the DisplayPort input on my monitor for the PC and the HDMI input to the Macbook dock. So to swap all I have to do is press the button on the USB switcher and then change my monitor's input setting. Not quite one click switching, which could be done, but it's two clicks and cheaper than most KVM switches I've seen.

What's the point of casually dismissing this article's premise? Whether the conclusions are fully sound or not isn't the goal of this article, this is journalistic not academic. The goal is to raise awareness of a potential bias, and I think it achieves that (assuming the facts all check out).

For one, according to the article the discrepancy was found to be up to 8 points in some cases, not 3. And it seems reasonable that quick, practical decisions in hospitals are made based on point thresholds, not purely huge point leaps as you suggest.

I haven't dug any further than the article and your comment to verify these facts. But rather than find a way to prove why this doesn't matter, why don't we assume it does? Then the knowledge and awareness might spread a little bit more through us, and if it is an issue, it might be that much more likely to be solved. There's no penalty for being wrong with a weakly held but well-meaning assumption. At the very least, we can be more aware of another possible dimension of bias in technology.
I have worked on systems for large media companies back in 2008-2010. The main feature they always wanted were as follows:

1. The ability to create a poll on their website, but only count votes that aligned with the desired outcome they wanted. So they could create a poll and before posting on their site they could set a target outcome of the various options.

2. For comments if it was flagged they wouldn't hide it or notify the user, instead it would be removed from everyone else's view except the users.

There were a few other very eye opening requests as well. Since that time I have assumed all media is in the business of manipulating and forming opinions. Trying to tell this to regular people seemed to only get me labeled as a conspiracy nut and that there was no way their beloved institutions would behave in such a way.

I use LibreOffice Calc for most of my work. It works just fine.

The question I have is not about using spreadsheets, but why Excel? It takes way too long to load and the UI gets worse with every iteration. Most people don’t even use 99% of the features in Excel (Find and Replace amazes some people). It is headed on the same trajectory as the abomination of diagramming software known as Visio.
The dishonesty is presenting this as a racist thing. The dishonesty is also in the implication that insurance companies are racist rather than simply responding to the market. The article is trying to drum up outrage at well established insurance companies in order to direct money to their business.

Institutional racism. Systemic racism. Oh bother.. You seem pretty confident about it without presenting any evidence. You haven't even identified which institution. I hate racism, it's useless and frankly stupid. Just because groups have different outcomes doesn't make it racist. You probably think that Google is systemically sexist because it is largely male in STEM departments. Google might be, but simply having male dominated departments does NOT warrant that conclusion.

NOTE: I used scare quotes around "black neighborhoods" because they are just American neighborhoods. Contrary to popular opinion/belief, we aren't (still or yet) living in a country where your skin color allows or prevents you from living in any particular neighborhood. Those that claim otherwise, or even suggest it through veiled implication, ought to present some actual evidence or STFU.

The average person relies on their personal medical doctor. If that doctor is restricted from using all possible treatments by government bodies [1][2] or drug suppliers [3], the COVID-19 fight is going to be drawn out and will result in further deaths and hospitalizations.

You might argue that citation [2] proves the drug totally unsafe, but I counter that the person's physician would be the only one able to judge this, and not some panel of experts in DC.

Edit: If it can be safely used for malaria, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis, then it probably can be safely used for COVID-19.

An interesting bit if history. Electronic card shuffles were invented by a former truck driver. Casinos rented the devices from his company I don't think any were sold (their value was approximately $20,000 each).

I haven't worked at a casino for four years but at that time I beleive the market opened up. It sounds like a patent expired or maybe the fisr card shuffle company was sold.

Inequality is unfair. The more unfairness someone has to put up with the less sensitive they will be to other stressors and perceived unfairness.
