Lol, so now you are talking about ending the concept of cities? This is getting even more implausible.

> I'm not forcing people to sell out their friends, their friends are the ones rejecting their help

If no one is going to force people to sell out there friends then you need to understand that a lot of people would simply continue to provide support to them.

> Your idea that people would still unquestionably offer help

I am not saying everyone would. Instead, I am saying some people would. And some is enough. People absolutely can care a lot about their friends, family, and children, enough so as to provide unconditional support.

This happens all the time, in real life!

> that cut ties for at least some time.

Lots of people, right now, do not cut ties with family members, who do aweful things.

> willfully saying they want nothing to do with the family. You think they'd still force their aid on them?

I am telling you, that I would help any of my close friends or family, personally, for sure, as would many people I know, and you can't convince me otherwise to not help them.

This already happens, right now, in the real world!

I think that some people care a whole lot about their friends and family, and no argument that you make overrules this.

People, right now, provide massive amounts of unconditional support to many of their friends.

I absolutely would do that, for example, regardless of the arguments that are being made.

IE, I know many people that would never ever abandon their family, because they "rejected society", and that there is zero argument that people could make to convince them otherwise, because family matters to them.

The headline is ridiculous. If anything, beef fat doesn't prevent ALD, corn oil promotes ALD.

There's mounting evidence that supposedly "bad fats" (saturated) aren't really that bad, whereas supposedly "good fats" (polyunsaturated fats as in vegetable oils) are actually bad, at least in the amounts that we consume them.

How would one go about picking something like 8 hues, with different levels of emphasis for some of them?

I’m not sure what you are looking for in terms of emphasis, but if you want to work with lots of hues, I recommend looking into “perceptually uniform colour spaces”.

It’s not unusual to see a colour wheel with “pure” red, green and blue (in the RGB-on-your-screen sense) at angles of 0°, 120° and 240°. Then you “interpolate” and get yellow, cyan and magenta at 60°, 180° and 300°. More colours get filled in to complete the wheel.

Now, there are all kinds of things wrong with this. However, possibly the biggest problem is that you can’t just pick evenly spaced colours around a wheel set up like this, say ten hues that are 36° apart, and get a good set of perceptually distinct colours as perceived by a human looking at them. Go ahead and try it; you’ll find that some of the colours you get around the green part of the wheel appear much more similar than most of the others.

This sort of problem was recognised long ago by Munsell, who attempted through experimental research to find a way to represent colours where the steps appeared even to a human viewer. This resulted in the Munsell colour system, which is essentially a huge but quite useful look-up table that will give you perceptually even colours just by varying say the hue or value by the same number of steps. Later efforts by the CIE would try to codify those ideas in more mathematically tractable ways, and the CIE colour spaces in expert use today still have much the same ideas underlying them.

If you took a Munsell colour wheel and picked hues in 10 even steps around the wheel (for the same value and chroma), and then converted the resulting colours back to the bad but popular colour wheel described above, what you’d find is that the converted hues would have bigger changes in some areas, particularly around the greens, and smaller changes in others, which would compensate for the problem described above and give a more visually even palette.

This rabbit hole goes pretty deep, because this is already quite a long comment and I’ve only talked about hue so far. It turns out that getting perceptual uniformity on the other axes is not always trivial either, not least because the available value and chroma options differ from one hue to another: we can’t perceive any blue that looks anywhere near as strong as the strongest yellows we can see, for example. Depending on what your palette is for, this can be very important, because as others have noted, it’s a good idea to vary more than just hues if you’re trying to construct a palette of clearly distinct colours for things like drawing charts or other data viz work.
The Rise of Chaos – Leaping to Tier 2
Unsure what their reaction would be. Probably not with nukes against the US, but slagging their allies in Asia is a plausible option, depending on their behavior before and after the event. The US might not be able to protect their allies in Asia from such retaliation.
The fact you managed to find one out of dozens of models Samsung sells and it is targeted for business fleet sales is telling. Replaceable batteries are not a hot consumer feature. Samsung's other phones of similar size are thinner and lighter.

Non-replaceable batteries are a net benefit for consumers most of the time. They get the lighter thinner phones with all the features they want. If you want to keep the same phone for a decade, even with a replaceable battery, I wish you the best of luck. In the US I don't think there's any active 2G service and 3G services will be turned off in the near future. It'll make a decent media player or WiFi browser but it won't act as a phone.
"The idea that the US Democrat party is “far-left” is hilarious from here in Europe."

Just to add to this:

Right-wingers who fantasize about Seattle or Portland being "far-left" really need to visit and see that capitalism is alive and well there (thriving, actually), private property has not been abolished, the workers don't own the means of production, and massive socioeconomic inequality still exists.

None of these would be true if Seattle or Portland were really "far-left".

Exactly this. Not availing yourself of these tax breaks is effectively the same as making a voluntary donation to the government. If you wouldn't do it as a non-rich person, why would you do it as a rich one?

The whole point of having a government is to have an institution that no one would voluntarily fund, but that we all agree to fund on the condition that everyone else does it too. It's a social mechanism designed to do an end-run around the perverse outcomes of the prisoner's dilemma. But it only works if participation is mandatory. If people are allowed to opt-out, the whole thing falls apart.

> Ok... but most people don't. So you aren't going to get that. You can't expect phone development projects costing hundreds of millions of dollars to cater to your particular views.

Imagine HTC unveiled a new phone that is the Desire S but with a modern-ish multi-core CPU and a non-potato camera. Everything else — the design, the size, the screen, the removable battery — is the same. How many people would buy one, given that the current 7" glass slabs remain a (prevalent) option?

And, I mean, people buy and keep iPhone SE (1st gen) and 5S for that same reason. The SE wasn't a flop, despite having a small screen no waterproofing. There's definitely a market for these.

If you mean the wikipedia definition of compiling source code to machine code at runtime, then no. The Tcl interpreter contains a bytecode virtual machine, more along the Java model.

Source code is converted to bytecode on the procedure level, not the program level, so there's no program-wide checks for consistency. It's done at runtime.

There are some officially unsupported tools built in to the interpreter that let you dump bytecode of compiled procedures and reload it. You'd have to roll your own dumping and loading scripts if you wanted to deliver an entire program using those tools.
That is a problem that could easily be fixed if there is demand. I don't know what you are defending.
How do you use it? I’m terrible at using these sorts of features. I occasionally try again but often find it awkward and not much of a win over my normal method that doesn’t involve multiple cursors. I figure either I’m doing something wrong or just not coming up against the right cases.
Just want to note and curio and trio, two non-stdlib python async libraries, have file io as batteries included.

I would also like to point out that asyncio made a huge mistake here. IO is not limited to interactions with the network buffer. I don't know how something called asynio can be released in to stdlib, and not include disk io.

The fact that there is no actual async file io on the OS doesn't matter. Dealing with files is a core concept in almost every application, and so pushing this to stdlib and hoping the python ecosystem takes up the slack, or people handbake threaded access in themselves, is a joke.

Some of this is a little dated, but a friend of mine wrote this and included my complaints about file io in there somewhere too:

It really does not matter how you spin this. What is important is how it was perceived by the working class.
The most obvious understanding, which would not involve mental gymnastics is that half of the people who support Trump are indeed deplorables, or they are deplorables just because they are homophobic or Islamophobic. Guess what - many of the working class are indeed are, which does not make them lesser human being; it is the result of the environment they grew up.
Personally I am not a fan of SAFe. If you see their process map it’s complete madness and an agile antithesis.

I think it resonates well with enterprises because every existing management layer or project manager may stay. They just get a new agile name.

For example, I used work for a large enterprise that was struggling to adopt agile and get management buy in. However when somebody pitched SAFe it went fast. Management was onboard, people were trained, and yes more importantly certified.

Indeed some teams became more productive, and could coordinate better with other teams. Management had some clue how this new way of working worked. Criticism I heard was that planning days were long and draining.. Either way one could say it was a success.

I would say give it a chance, it won’t hurt because people and teams will just be rebranded. Nothing bad will happen, nor anything super fantastic.

Increased red meat consumption is associated with a moderately elevated risk of cancer, but what counts as "red meat" varies. Processed meat with tons of additives and preservatives isn't the same as beef.

That looks like a good way to understand it, but I think you have "synchronous" and "asynchronous" reversed.

When you're running ordinary Python code, it is synchronous - it runs line by line and has control of the CPU. When you await on another function, that is the asynchronous part - your code is suspended until that other code completes. And then after the await is satisfied, your function starts to run synchronously again.
Just get rid of any "business purpose" and deductions.

According to the Greek sources, the Nanda army was supposedly five times larger than the Macedonian army.

Nandas were obviously familiar with their own terrain, while Macedonians were not.

The battle with Porus, who was ruling a tiny border state had an army at least in the same order of magnitude as Alexander, who was aided by some of the other local rulers.

If Alexander had a hard time wining against Porus, we can simply make some logical assumptions about how he would have fared against a much much superior force, no vapid sable rattling is required.

> I'd like to know how it's possible for third-party sites such as https://www.fakespot.com to more effectively identify fake Amazon reviews while Amazon (with presumably better data) fails so miserably.

Maybe they can't? Fakespot authoritatively scores reviews but is there evidence that they are accurate? Anecdotally, there are many claims that the results aren't perfect, such as poor scores on a product where the seller knows there are no fake reviews. As a buyer the results on similar, shortlisted, products often seem a bit random compared to my judgement from reading the reviews carefully. Also, without knowing what reviews are identified and removed by amazon themselves we don't have much to compare it to.

Agreed. One of the reasons that Python grew popular so fast was its "batteries included" approach. When a developer needs to do some common thing, it's really helpful to have one obvious way to do it that is highly reliable and well integrated with the rest of the system.
I have used many different computers in past 20 years, and all of them becomes unusable after 4-5 years at max. And this happens to all the people that I know of. You are likely lucky that your hardware is in working condition for 15 years.
Can you elaborate a bit more on what bothers you about Go? “It’s not Python” could encompass a lot of things.

Personally, I use both languages (as well as Java and C#) and find they do really well for different tasks. If I need a binary command-line tool that I can ship off fairly easily I turn to Go. If I need to quickly parse some text files, bang out a quick HTTP client script, or automate some AWS tasks, I’ll go with Python.

> Curious why the onus is on journalists and not complacent political parties or branches/members of government.

It's because the primary power to oust corrupt officials rests with the public. Likewise for the power to push broad policy change.

US Gov agencies have been accumulating inappropriate power and commit atrocities (esp post 2001), largely w/o any pushback or coverage from news orgs.

It hasn't been zero coverage. For example, Edward Snowden dragged reluctant news outlets into doing their jobs for a little while. But the vast, vast bulk of Gov misdeeds that are right out in the open, rarely get even a nod - while a small selection of stories get huge parallel coverage, from coast to coast.
RNA-Seq expression landscape for 1,500 pediatric tumors (t-SNE)
If you have a belt that move perpendicular to the print head, then the extrusion path is in in the plane of the of the belt. If you try and print something that is longer than the travel path of the print head then it will have to stitch the end of the object with the new material as the object moves off the end of the belt.

By being at an angle, the print head has full access to the entire end of the object that is being formed. Think of the point where the print head makes contact with the object surface as the extrusion plane. The belt and printing at an angle enables the extrusion plane to never be occluded by the part itself. It is like an infinitely tall hang printer that can move up forever, only it is on its side so it can continuously bond the print belt and the part.

This design allows for parts to be made that fill the x-y projected area of the printer while being arbitrarily long in z, the belt can feed into a tray that allows the part to rest at the belt height. You could use this to make forms for sail planes, foils, spars, etc.

I can't wait for this to get out into the hands of the mhackers to see what they come up with. The next phase is when something like this is multi-material, so one can have say a water soluble support material and an impregnated nylon in the same continuous part. As it is now, the primary purpose would be for small scale manufacturing and cosplay swords (like the demo).
