I don't see how the point-based system would be an improvement, the system is already based on fairly unambiguous rules. You meet the requirements, you get the visa/permit. You don't meet the requirements, you don't get the visa/permit.

For example:

- You'd like to get a work visa as a third-country national? Meet the requirements in FNA, Chapter 5, section 1 [0].

- You'd like a C-permit (permanent residence permit) in Kanton Zürich? The requirements, in as much detail as I could ever ask for, are here [1].

Switzerland has to be the most rule-based society I've ever lived in. This is baked into the very constitution itself as Art. 9 [2]: "Every person has the right to be treated by state authorities in good faith and in a non-arbitrary manner."

Yep. Most of my experiments that involve graphicals output a PxM file because it's trivial to do. There was a link on here a few {weeks,months} back about outputting PxM frames for video because it was fast and easy to feed into ffmpeg, avplay, etc.

165,000 Americans are dead. Most of them died in agony on a respirator. The vast majority of those deaths were completely avoidable: https://www.statnews.com/2020/06/19/faster-response-prevente... And people of color are hugely overrepresented in this number.

Since the start of the pandemic, McConnell has systematically opposed any rational reaction to it, and strongly supported the psychopathic lies of Donald Trump.

McConnell is not some nice old man who systematically caused tremendous damage to the hundred million poorest and blackest Americans for the last thirty years by mistake and now accidentally killed another hundred thousand, sorry guys!

I strongly hesitate to use the word "evil" in general - but if any human ever has been evil, then McConnell is a profoundly evil man.

If you have even the smallest patch of ground, dig a small hole, drop the dead animals/spoiled meat in there, and the smell is gone within minutes.

My experience comes from living countryside with two cats dragging in rabbits, rats, pheasants and two/three daily mice and birds in. My cats prefer cat-food, so they drag in the dead animals, tuck it under the couch or behind the fridge, and then eat their favorite chunks, the assholes.

Throwing it on the compost heap smells way worse and attracts flies. than digging a ~3cm deep hole and covering it. A mouse under the ground, is gone in less than a week (I guess its eaten by worms and insects mostly).

Very few recipes involve taking stuff from the freezer repeatedly however, most things will need to thaw in advance. Making ice cream in a freezer in the basement would suck, however.

Not having the fridge readily available in the kitchen would suck, though, so that only works if you have a dedicated freezer.
> the atomic bomb murdered more civilians that a conventional attack would have killed.

That's false. More Tokyo residents died from incendiary bombing. The alternative to the two nuclear bombs was to use 10,000 bombers with napalm to literally incinerate every village and town in Japan.

Because of the failure of the Treaty of Versailles in WW1 due to no occupation of Germany, in WW2 the only acceptable outcome was occupation and unconditional surrender of Germany and Japan. (An exception was made for Japan to keep the Emperor.)

The Japanese military were end-of-the-world type leaders, same as in Germany, so no negotiated surrender was possible.

And calling the USA murderers after Japan declared war on them is absurd. The Japanese population got off easy compared to their butchery in China, which they still deny (because they have to - there was no honor in their conduct and no excuse.)
I can say that if I load up my fridge, especially the top it will freeze up the fan and stop working altogether. Airflow is essential if you have a poorly designed Samsung where it’s a common problem to ice over.

Monetary systems are (very poorly designed, highly lossy) attempts to quantify trust in many dimensional axes. Corrode trust, then the cost of trade goes up.

When I notice decisions made by people like what your friend does, if talking about it doesn't produce a change in choices, I instantly distance myself from them and then gradually cut them out of my life. Ethics is what you do when you think no one is looking on. Your mileage may vary, but personally, I have too little time in my life to spend on people who I have to worry about whether they will screw me over if the situation is just right. The cognitive load is not worth it.
Yes, given the thermal mass of a fridge any type of advanced control is probably pointless.

I think late 90s/early 2000s was the peak of fridge reliability to efficiency ratio.

They run the defrost timer through the thermostat, so defrost cycles are somewhat inline with fridge use.

The circuitry is simple - a defrost timer, PTC "relay", a few thermostats and the compressor.

Newer fridges are a bit quieter and more efficient with inverter technology, but failure rates are way higher due to electronics failures.
And not only handles, on a summer day the kitchen can become warm pretty fast when cooking with gas. Assuming no AC of course.
This problem seems to be US specific.

> My guess was that people get into these situations where it seems like a library is going to be a solid "100% solution", and yet it lets you down and maybe reaches the 80% mark.

That's probably true. I think a difficulty in avoiding this is that often the person reaching for this library, if they tried to write it themselves, would only hit the 60% mark.

And I don't think there's anything wrong with that. There are people out there writing code at many, many different skill levels. Libraries -- even those that are less than perfect -- let people get things done that they might not be able to do on their own, or would do a worse job of without the library.

A country, as a whole, is not an individual person and therefore can't "deserve" anything. What you're describing are acts by citizens of Imperial Japan (some decisions made high up or at the top, some made by individual units or soldiers) and killing of other people in the country. Some people who were responsible for atrocities were no doubt affected (either personally killed or people they loved were killed which of course would impact them emotionally) but for the most part you're talking about killing people who had no influence whatsoever on use of weapons in China or any other atrocity. Those people, without almost no exception whatsoever, had no say on what their citizenship was.

The technical term for what you're describing is "collective punishment". Personally, I see it as a logical fallacy: failure to see that a country is not a single collective consciousness.
Several weeks is a bit of an exaggeration. Lag in reporting has been around 4-5 days on average. Lately the lag has increased somewhat as the number of reported deaths has gone down.

> Any OOP with inheritance does multiple dispatch. Java, C++ vitual functions, python via ducktyping.

Java, Python and C++ require Visitor machinery that you ahev to write, for each case, to implement multiple dispatch (and Visitor only works for double dispatch, if you want more than 2 arguments you need even more boilerplate). Julia and CLOS essentially have that machinery built in.

In case this is not clear, multiple dispatch refers to choosing which method implementation to call based on the specific runtime subtypes of all function arguments, not just the runtime type of `this` (which is all that Java, C++, and even Python can dispatch based on). It's basically like applying C++ function overloading rules at runtime.

> The article's concern is real but overstated in my opinion. When adding a new function in a hierarchy you'll either have a good default or you'll be implementing via type matching branches or 10 implementations in each type behind multiple dispatch.

That's assuming you can modify all existing implementations. If you can't (e.g. if you wanted to modify Iterable to add a new method) then the solution is just..
don't do that. Note that the article also doesn't offer a solution - they're just showing that multiple dispatch can be used to implement a different construct with different limitations (GADTs).
Uhh, if your basement frequently gets below 0 °C, you have far bigger problems than the freezer. This should normally not happen unless you're living somewhere in the Arctic.
You are correct, parent commenter misunderstood the table they are referring to.

That table says there's slightly more kWh generated from natural gas (1,246,847) than from coal (1,124,638). I assumed they read this wrongly and thought this was CO2 emissions per kWh.

The best number to read from that table is the last column, "CO2 emissions - pounds per kWh":

Natural Gas: 0.92

Coal: 2.21

So yeah, natural gas's CO2 emissions are much lower.
Based on a quick search, that does not seem to be true. The title of the movie comes from the title of the book it is based on.

In Germany, we use the same transfer orders (“Überweisung”) that we use for smaller payments for things up to about 50k EUR. These used to be paper forms printed by your bank, but I’ve been exclusively used them online the 15 years I’ve had a German bank account.

When we bought our cars, we just upped the daily transfer limit. I’m not sure how my husband transferred the down payment for our house, though — it was all in his savings account, and was above that 50k EUR maximum daily transfer limit. The proceeds of the mortgage we took for the rest was transferred by the bank to the seller once the bank was satisfied with the purchase contract and that the Grundbuch (city property registry) was clear.

we currently have dozens of vacine candidates for SARS-CoV-2 not just "something similar".

The reason to believe it won't mutate much is exactly in the difference of SARS-CoV-2 from influenza: coronaviruses mutate at much slover rate.

I can add some wishful thinking parts though: coronaviruses usually mutate to get less severe, and the threshold for the herd immunity may be way lower than the 60% or 70% (cross-imunity, non-hemogenity, etc.).

Not sure what it the point in comparing it to the influenza, because a) that's a very different virus b) there are several different strains of the flu floating around so is is a guessing game.
SARS-CoV-2 and the CPC/CCP can't be decoupled.

You were lucky. CS is hell. Inverse your findings: "How many customers actually want their problem solved?". You'd be very surprised, it's not many.

I did CS for networking hardware. Very easy to troubleshoot, plus I have all Cisco Certs. I could tell immediately what was wrong, within seconds of the call. Still you needed to dance around with the (angry) customer for 6-20 minutes, sometimes hours. Yes, hours. It was company policy to never hang up. Bad policy. That got them very high employee churn and costs.

It was torture when all you want to do is to just solve the problem. It's way more than that.
