You went to bed at 8 as a 16 year old? That seems... atypical for a teenager or even an adult. Even my father, who is definitely a morning person and wakes up at 4:30 or 5 every day, doesn’t go to bed at 8.

I was and am a vegetarian, and maybe in wealthy districts they have better lunch options, but certainly not in mine. The fact that we largely tie school funding to property taxes is a huge problem. Regardless, let’s not pretend that school lunch, at least in the 90s, was actually healthy or good or even at a reasonable time for lunch.
The prompt that asks user for a permission to write a local file says: "<domainName> will be able to edit <fileName> until you close all tabs for this site [Cancel] [Save changes]".

But before this prompt is even shown, user must first manually select the file with the native file picker dialog and click the "Open" button.

Therefore, giving accidental accesses to a file is not going to be as easy as with a camera or a microphone.
Protections on travel do extend to non-pedestrian travel which can be accomplished via non-spot-checked formats.

You just have to drive instead of fly.

I'm not trying to be hateful, but your argument just smacks of an 'I want what I want when I want how I want and will not take anything less than all of it' kind of argument.

If you don't want your ID scanned, just drive, or take a train, or a bus. Just don't fly, right?
Please say "Chinese Communist Party" or "PRC" or similar when making claims that critically only apply to that part of China.

I’ve heard that narrative too.. Dorms with 2 people in a 15x10 space was my first experience. Then there was a whole bubble of slum lords renting barely habitable split homes built a century ago near campus for the same amount my parents pay on their mortgage. Large minority of college students report being hungry and not being able to afford food. Sure there were some nice new buildings as seen on tv, many of them weren’t and had terrible seating and lighting though.

He concludes that Python is just more practical and superior for these scripting tasks but went through all the trouble because he likes Clojure.
> There are some tiny niches where functional programming is particularly useful, but outside of them the code is classically difficult to read, write or debug

What niches are these where FP is "classically difficult to read, write or debug"?
I agree that is very likely these days, but the laptop thing has happened before [1]

I encountered that issue on my company Mesos cluster. Here are some details.

We ran our largest application from bare-metal to Mesos (https://medium.com/criteo-labs/migrating-arbitrage-to-apache...) and observed performance was not as good as expected (especially on 99pctl latency).
Other application were showing similar behavior.

We ended up finding the issue with cfs bandwidth cgroup, considered several alternatives and eventually moved to cpusets instead.

cpusets allow to get:
- better mental model (it's far easier to reason on "dedicated cpus")
- net performance gain (from -5% to -10% cpu consumption)
- more consistent latency (if nothing run on the same cpu than your app, you benefit from good scheduling and possibly avoid cpu cache issues)

When the fixed kernel was released, we decided to upgrade to it and keep our new model of cpu isolation.
But if you had students that had specialised at 14 done GCSE's and A levels in the subject they do at uni you could have three year degrees instead of four.

No, the drive motor rpm is not controlled by OS drivers but by the drive controller. You'd have to write custom firmware and flash it onto the drive controller (inside the HDD) to change the rpm
If you honestly believe that, why not post your information? The reason is that you probably don't want to do that, and you shouldn't be required to do it.

Something that's pretty nice in AWS CDK is that tagging is recursive - so if you add a tag to eg. a top-level ECS service object then the tags are applied to all of its children automatically. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/latest/guide/tagging.html
I was referring to activities like swiping perpetually, or behaviors like ghosting - things that take time but do not ultimately help people connect. These apps encourage a lot of window shopping and there is certainly a power imbalance in favor of women in most dating apps, but particularly in Bumble since only women can initiate conversations. All of these are unrelated to the actual effort of cultivating a relationship.
Not so easily. E.g. after the Brussels airport attack the Zurich airport has increased the number of security gates open at any time and reduced the density of people queuing. I don’t think I have ever seen in the lat couple of years more than 100 people packed together. (Other airports are much worse and have lots of people in packed queues, but Zurich shows that it’s a problem that can be solved)
It’s no excuse but my understanding is the issue here in the US is sort of the random traffic stop - what if the person the cop stops has a gun?

Thus every interaction with a probably “non-criminal” citizen or whatever carries fear and danger.

Again, no excuse at all. But I do think there’s a relation between racist (and all) police violence, and the overall violence in our society - which firearm ownership is one aspect of.
On reasoning by analogy:

https://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/transcriptions/EWD10xx/E...

"It is probably more illuminating to go a little bit further back, to the Middle Ages. One of its characteristics was that "reasoning by analogy" was rampant; another characteristic was almost total intellectual stagnation, and we now see why the two go together. A reason for mentioning this is to point out that, by developing a keen ear for unwarranted analogies, one can detect a lot of medieval thinking today."

"When we returned from the interview, some more legal professionals had arrived and there was a lively discussion going on. For me the exposure was a cultural shock, instructive, but also rather disorienting. Of course I knew that lawyers are not scientists, yet the atmosphere of a trade school took me by surprise. Of course I knew that lawyers mainly deal with national law, yet I was unprepared for the prevailing parochialism. (Now I come to think of it, the system of common law, based —as it is— on custom and precedent, could very well strengthen this phenomenon.) but the most disorienting thing was that I found myself suddenly submerged in a verbal tradition that was totally foreign to me! They were on the average very verbose —some even repetitive—, they had a tendency to "reason" by analogy and more than once I felt that speakers cared more about the potential influence of their words than about what they actually said. (Are these common professional deformations of the trial lawyer?) I spoke for ten minutes, that is, I tried to do so: after several hours of exposure I no longer knew how to address this crowd."
I think they're saying the opposite, that FP languages are difficult in general and only useful in a few niches.

There's good evidence that more people choose to drive rather than deal with TSA and the rising costs (due to 'security') and as a result cause more deaths (because driving is less safe than flying). So yes

I think many Russian people, especially those who watch or read mainly Russian news, hold such views with complete sincerity. The internal propaganda is quite effective.

This presumes that in the process you and the clone don't diverge in thought patterns. The brain will change in minor ways throughout your life so during that small window the clone would have minor changes due to its different conditions. Gradual replacement allows for you to be conscious during the whole process with potentially some time between each replacement to adjust.

Personally however I would view a perfect clone of me to be the same as me. If my brain were absolutely perfectly replaced in an instant of zero time then yes, I would consider that to still be me.

There's a great tabletop rpg that goes into this called eclipse phase. In it most people have uploaded their brain and can jump around in bodies due to digital brains being placed into everything between clones and nanobot swarms. This also allows them to make copies of their mind at will to do tasks and merge back together. I'm definitely a transhumanist because I would love to have such technology and would be happy calling all those copies just as valid as the original.
GPG is just not a very good tool. I think 'tptacek explained it quite well in the article I linked.

With that said, Magic Wormhole is also a very good tool for transferring files. It will encrypt in transit. So for many files, using a separate encryption tool is not necessary. (So far I haven’t tried it for large files.)
> the "take-it-in-the-ass", is a distinct Sicilian word, and can only be fully understood if you take into account Sicilian culture at that time

This is precisely the sort of nuance that everyone who is not Sicilian would understand if the author had written in a global language that 100% of the world's population understands natively.

I said that language is not equivalent to culture. You said that language is a part of a culture. We both agree.

I want everyone to have access to all of culture. For every nuance of 1950's Sicilian culture we lose, we gain a complete understanding of the meaning behind every word from every author for the rest of civilization.

I'm saying the trade-off is well worth it.
That is not the conclusion at all. Literally the conclusion:

> It’s nice to have another scripting tool in my toolbox: Babashka. Time will tell if I start using Clojure instead of Python as my preferred scripting language, thanks to Babashka. At least in this exercise Babashka did really well.
Another way to look at it is that "timestamp" = "permalink", which is a fairly common pattern (I'm not trying to imply that it is intuitive, just that it is common). Once you are at the permalink you have a range of options available to you.
Derailing a train is _very_ difficult for a passenger.
It's even worse. Putin's failed attack on Skripal ultimately resulted in the murder of Dawn Sturgess[0] four months later. This was a case of using illegal chemical weapons on foreign soil, which puts Russia squarely in the same category of rogue nations as North Korea.

It is just "obvious" if you are a firm believer in accusations made by the "West".
Setting GOMAXPROCS explicitly is the best practice in my experience. The runtime latches in a value for runtime.NumCPU() based on the population count of the cpumask at startup. The cpumask can change if kubernetes schedules or de-schedules a "guaranteed" pod on your node and the kubelet is using the static CPU management policy, and it will vary from node to node if you have various types of machines. You don't want to have 100 replicas of your microservice all using different, randomly-chose values of GOMAXPROCS.
I think it is a question of semantics regarding the words generate and theory. Computers cant produce theories because they generate and analyze data, but cant process ideas. Unless the computer is conscious, it can not generate the theory.

> either with one 5.56mm bullet in the leg

As a civilian target shooter, I can tell you that shooting a leg is almost impossible for a standard shooter, unless you're very close and the target isn't moving (but then why do you need to shoot him ?).

You should never employ a gun with the intent to "just" injure someone. A gun is lethal (even a leg shot can be fatal) most of the time and should be used (or not used) accordingly.

I think this might be related to the Tibetan origin special forces soldier of Indian Army being killed in some recent altercation with PRC on their northern border.[1]

I do think India is going on a slippery slope now. With Tiktok, one can even make a case of it being used to manipulate sentiments and being used for propoganda, but
that argument can hardly be made for a game like PubG. It also brings into question whether the ruling government can disrupt a business on its whim of the day.

Also, as far as I understand India is far more dependent economically on trade with China then China is on India. Do they really want to start a trade war with China?

If a terrorist were actually strategic about maximizing damage they would always inflict far greater harm and never be stopped. You can fit probably 50lbs of tannerite (ammonium nitrate and some aluminum) and ball bearings into a large suitcase and walk into any airport lobby in the world.

They would never need to make it past a single layer of security to reach a line with hundreds of people in close proximity. But then you could also do this with trains, large hotels during business conferences, etc.

Any security expert will tell you that real evil isn't something you can protect people from. Fortunately, 99.9% of people aren't genuinely evil.

Although, it does make it clear that these security measures aren't about us, they're about protecting expensive property and reducing their liability once we get into that property.
No, speeding cameras don't have the same problems as US police folk. That could be improved by having less shitty police. But that's not to say cameras don't have problems.

Often they take grainy photos, and only a photo. Still images aren't proof that you were speeding, just proof that something triggered the camera. Plenty of things can trigger it, including software faults.

Additionally it creates a horrible incentive for local government as a revenue stream with little to no incentive to fix something. Speeding cameras are unmanned, cheap, and just make money. And contesting a speeding camera ticket is so much more difficult than issuing it. All of this makes it easy to undermine due process.
With the same logic there should be a white guy somewhere in the background in Wakanda, but there weren't any. That's what the parent comment wants to say.

He was complaining about a strawman that existed only in his head. There were multiple random white guys in the background in the city scenes (Wakanda and elsewhere), and multiple named and speaking white supporting characters in the foreground, including Bucky Barnes, and whatever characters Martin Freeman and Andy Serkis were playing.

Re-watching 1917, I realized that there is exactly 1 minority character with a speaking role in the movie: a Sikh soldier during the caravan scene. I rewatched the trench scenes, and there are no black characters. There are white guys covered in ash and dirt that might look black but are clearly white when viewed in 4k, and can be confirmed during the battlefield run scene. (1917 was attempting to be historically accurate; Sikh soldiers made up a larger portion of the British army than did black soldiers.)
I think we disagree on whether a solution is needed, though. No one's going to be able to use an airplane as a missile again, since cockpits are locked. No passengers will sit idly by while someone with a knife tries to do something, and any benefit of securing planes is completely dwarfed by the giant crowd of vulnerable people in the not-yet-screened lines.

Not only does this solution not solve the problem (unless you consider the problem to be "get re-elected" or "make my election contributors money"), but it centralizes vulnerabilities and makes any destructive event both more dangerous and easier to carry out.
I assumed this was so named because it was supposed to disrupt kickstarters cut in the same way craigslist disrupted classifieds, but it seems it’s because the creators name is Craig. A happy accident, then, because I think my interpretation still works
It doesn't disprove anything, but it puts the onus back on those who claim that the police are racist, that we live in a racist ethnostate, and that we've improved very little with respect to institutional racism since the antebellum period.
This is actually a very intersting tangent! If I visualize interacting with a physical globe, I'm going to spin it left, as if I was "reading" the globe left-to-right. The rotation displayed on the stripe website is not the rotation of the Earth, it's the rotation of a globe!
Circumstantial evidence can be extremely powerful. There's no conflict between saying that the evidence is both extremely strong and also circumstantial. There's video of two Russians walking around Salisbury; there's an interview with them on Russian state TV where they totally fail to give a coherent explanation of their movements as revealed by CCTV on the day of the poisoning. And they traveled to the UK under fake IDs.

I don't know what other conclusion to draw.

This is the algorithm the HP clock module uses to combine two BCD digits into one byte. It adds the two values by incrementing one and subtracting the other in a loop. Since the BCD digit is at most 9, this is fairly quick.

I think you could implement a faster addition algorithm by testing the high order bit of the arguments, incrementing the result as needed, and then shifting. Repeating this 8 times should give you the sum, compared with up to 255 steps for the simple algorithm.
I believe the reasoning was a simple tax grab. They saw the deduction as some sort of dodge allowing someone making $200,000 a year and paying $50,000 a year in alimony, to move that $50k in income from a high tax brackets to a low brackets, even though now these are two separate people legally.
