> If you are resisting arrest

Alas, when someone is or is not "resisting arrest" is not something that is particularly well-defined. It's usually "when the officer says you are resisting," regardless of the actual facts at hand.

My point, basically, is that if a cop grabs you unexpectedly, and you push them away (a reasonable, normal reaction): the next thing you hear is "stop resisting!"

The crime of "resisting arrest" needs to go away.

I've started writing in Rust, and have a small function to pass a simple string to "/bin/sh -c"

I can avoid most of the pitfalls of writing in sh, while still being able to glue external programs together.

For the record, I'm only writing it in Rust because I enjoy it, not because "Rust is the one true way".

That only works if you either don't care about retention or long-term gains(which is an extension of retention).

You can argue the humanist point of view to not burn people out or the business point of view that happy, well rested people produce better work over the long term. There's tons of data to back it up if you want to go that route as well.

I've found you can frame the productive discussion beyond hours in the office by emphasising that we work hard and use the time outside work to be refreshed enough to do it consistently month over month, year over year.

My above example wasn't running the command, just defining it to be run manually. The .env becomes a dumping ground for all sorts of project specific stuff. The docs say direnv doesn't support this.

As a side note, I always wonder what is the difference in meaning between "as of yet", and "yet".

Suspecting it means exactly as much as "currently" usually does.
I wonder if this means the problem is under-determined (too many degrees of freedom) and that leads to numerical instability. Certainly one set of equations is enough, as 3Blue1Brown’s Fourier transform video shows.

I've been using it to host static websites for free personally. You can get free AR to try it yourself, more than enough to last you a very long time. I deploy from localhost and it's on the permaweb almost instantly.

http://tokens.arweave.org/

Arweave is based on a new consensus mechanism called ‘proof of access’ (PoA). Arweave is more suitable for slow write (upload) and fast read (download). Download is more useful for most use cases, like hosting websites, unlike other decentralized storage projects which are more suitable for write (Upload)

Arweave has developed a system for data storage which makes it economically sustainable and feasible to store data for centuries. The system allows you to have highly available low latency data storage while maintaining an incentive model where miners will store user's data forever.

Some apps you can check out built on the permaweb:

> How do people decide to make major life changes? Most days, people don't decide to change their lives in big ways. On a few days, they do. What's special about those days? How much is it about the stimulus versus their own inner state?

A recognition of self was what it took for me. Changed my life situation pretty recently for the better after a realization following a personal conversation with a close friend. The realization undermined a lot of my assumptions about how I was living my life, but it took substantial input and questioning from them for me to understand it; it was akin to pulling a thread and unraveling a tapestry, so to speak.

Can't say this is true for everyone, but it was for me.

Thanks or the feedback.

Regarding manual or tutorial, I agree that its difficult to manage the fields. I namespace the fields into profile, income statement, balance sheet and quotes so ideally you only have to search [incomeStatement...] and see some fields. But I'll try to list them all out.

Regarding the enums, I thought about that before and wanted to implement auto-complete enums in the language grammar but so it was bit complicated so I decided to kick the can, but I'll circle back around to it. There are only a few string fields and I put in regex matching so you can just do contains `contains "electric"`

What queries didn't return? It's a static site, it shouldn't be affected by the traffic.

The historical data is tough because reporting periods aren't all the same. I don't have a back tester either. I did have a feature before where you can plot any attribute historically, but I didn't find it that useful.

I have now read the transcript and it has "end of tape 1" and "start of tape 2" which makes me think it might be an audio only interview. In that case it probably won't show up on Youtube.

Douglas Fairbairn, who did the interview, was the founder of VLSI Technology Inc which was the first fab to make ARMs and, together with Acorn and Apple, set up the ARM company.

In an interview I did with Prof Andy Hopper he mentioned that a CAD group was created for a networking company which got merged with Acorn. That led them to have a chip design capability that they were trying to figure out what to do with it. This is a slightly different viewpoint of the same story.

> facebook did not attempt to run its social media business in China

This is not true: https://www.theverge.com/2018/7/24/17607992/facebook-allowed...

Facebook attempts to open an office in China, but gets shutdown one day later. Ofc, this is China so nobody knows the reason why.

Second, Chinese internet regulation is as opaque as its other operations, compliance with law is on the surface, they are tens of special government approved certificates to obtain if you want to actually operate there, like this one: https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E7%BD%91%E7%BB%9C%E8%A7%86%E5%..., which is approved case by case and notoriously hard to get, basically make it impossible for foreign company to operate in China.

So no, China's internet doesn't have only have a set of rules that once you comply you get a pass. It is mired in layers of regulations and bureaucracy that without guanxi, you can't crack it no matter how willing you are.

Can you elaborate on the "recognition of self" bit?
The “legitimate websites” that disrespect privacy and security almost always do that in a way transparent to the user (ignoring the cookie prompts, but I don’t think that’s a fair comparison). For example, news websites could try and access my location info, but they don’t because there’s a permission prompt which would appear.
Not always. If you're reading from a SSD and writing to a slow USB 2.0 flash drive, you could end up enqueuing in one second a volume of writes that will take the USB drive tens of seconds to sync(), leading to a very unresponsive progress bar. You almost have to do a TCP-like ramp up of block sizes until you discover where the bottleneck is.

Thank you for pointing me to this.
The real solution is to use Tor-like network where you're using multiple intermediate proxy-servers located in different countries with different laws. And make that network extremely popular for lawful content. So when you're downloading Ubuntu, some of your traffic will transmit encrypted parts of copyrighted cinema. You have no idea what are you transmitting, you're just obeying protocol (which you should, because otherwise peers will throttle you) and downloading legal content.

At this point US have to make that network illegal, causing huge collateral damage. Note that even torrents are not illegal, so it would be quite a precedent.
I no longer work jobs, but I did in the past, 20+ big and small ones for 15+ years.

I've seen two types of successful onboarding. One is when the whole process is a checklist and all or most of the items are completed expediently. This is usually because the process is assigned to someone who is responsible for it.

The second type is when you get the bare minimum (laptop, basically) and the rest is filled in by people you work alongside with. This one works at small/new startups, and the best part about it is that you get to know your co-workers at the same time.

I think it's possible to combine the two into a super-onboarding, but I haven't seen it yet. This is an inspiring question to answer.

Personally, I embrace the trainwreck onboarding, because it extends the honeymoon period of the job by an extra week or two, and I am completely blameless.

Just remember to never complain, just follow up and ask for help, or you'll be seen as a complainer, and rightfully so.

No they don't. CO2 has a logarithmic effect on temperature, which means we will get diminishing returns on warming as time goes on. And the oceanic cycles absolutely dominate climate change.

You are the one lacking heliocentrism. You think the climate revolves around human activity.

Nope; dyn is dynamic dispatch, this is statically dispatched.

It is true that dyn means you don't get monomorphization, and can help with binary sizes.

EDIT: thinking about this some more, I wanted to say that it does feel similar, but one big difference that’s easy to explain is that dyn will change the way the value is represented in memory, and this will not. Conceptually, both do “cast and then call this single function”, but in the dyn case, the cast would be to a trait object, whereas this casts directly to &Path.
I'm being deliberately obtuse, but in essence I recognized that I was mentally working around growing in a certain area rather than tackling it head on.
Python’s import system is weird but it does make sense when you use absolute imports:

project
├── main.py
├── package1
│ ├── module1.py
│ └── module2.py
└── package2
├── __init__.py
├── module3.py
├── module4.py
└── subpackage1
└── module5.py

As long as the file containing the main() function resides in the top-level folder you can use absolute imports in every file, e.g.

from package1 import module1
from package1.module2 import function1
from package2.subpackage1.module5 import function2
> the guy in it does throw in a bunch of jokes from the perspective of a frustrated Canadian building science guy that might put you off but his information is great.

As someone else who works with civil (but not structural) engineering in Canada, I agree to a certain extent with his points, but found his tone incredibly condescending and offputting. For example:

> Does the dirt, grass, and a goat make it work better? No. But you just feel better about yourself. I mean dirt is not insulation, it's just freaking dirt. If it was insulation we'd put it in our walls, and that'd be stupid. [...] 'well we can store water up there' - Why? You're an idiot. The whole idea of a roof is to get the water off of the damn roof.

- Soil is insulating, just with a very crappy K value. You wouldn't use it somewhere that was space sensitive (eg a wall). You wouldn't use it instead of other insulation. But it is absolutely an insulator (that's why we only have to put frost walls 4-8feet deep to prevent frost heave). If your only goal is to insulate the roof better, install an extra inch of rigid foam rather than a foot of soil, it'll work the same.

- Storing water where it first strikes is good for reducing site runoff (with safeties installed to cope with bigger rainfall events).

> I once found myself driving around with a very environmentally minded person and she refused to turn the AC on in her car but cranked open the window instead.

How fast were you driving? There's a breakeven point, depends on the car - I know with mine, it's about 80 km/hr (slower than that, open the window. faster than that, AC is more fuel efficient)
I for one lie in the "humans cause global warming but I am apathetic about trying to stop it from happening."

Regardless of the cause, I think both of you would be doing well to think about how to produce food and energy and breathable air in a warming and ever industrializing world, and how much government intervention is needed (if any).

It is interesting that the real cost of medical care and hospital services didn't see any sort of inflection change with the introduction of the ACA.

One the key reasons for implementing the ACA -- which I supported, mind you -- was to control rising healthcare costs.

Costs might still rise, but the rate of rise should be lower than before.

This graph doesn't seem to show that.

"Apple is aggressively stepping up its India-based manufacturing efforts as it seeks to move away from supply chain concentration in China".

Cars and Cellphone service sectors are heavily regulated. Textbooks are not regulated.

There is more to it than just "more regulations". Also regulation doesn't necessarily have to come from the government, for example, the Apple App Store is heavily regulated, and yet they have some of the lowest software prices compared to other platforms.

In my opinion, competition through trade may have a stronger effect on prices; you can easily buy a TV or a car made in China, but you can't easily attend the University of Shanghai, or be treated in a Hospital in Hong Kong.
