This has gone in a funny direction.

Telling someone to commit murder, with the knowledge that they will carry out this act, legally fulfills the requirements of mens rea and actus reus for the crime of murder. It isn't a speech crime per se. We don't need a new law regulating anyone's speech to punish people in these events.

Convicting someone for "inciting violence" should require the same standards as any other case supposedly tying someone to a murder. For one thing you need an actual victim and make the case they caused it beyond a reasonable doubt. It gets messy (law always does) but I think that's because many people argue in bad faith, really trying to twist definitions to punish people for opinions they disapprove of.
Give people the facts. Let them decide but make sure you're protected from supporting idiots.

Better than coming out of it looking like the evil dudes.

EDIT being most well known outside your sector for suing your customers is generally a bad look
It's called networking.
I hope to hear more in the future!

Do you envision any extension points to the way engines are implemented that could better enforce boundaries? In our engines, there was nothing that referenced another engine's resources, leaving the main application to handle route mapping and ActiveRecord associations between app models and engine's models.

I feel like the use-case for engines has long been around supporting framework like functionality (Devise, Spree, etc), but I wonder if there are changes to be made that better support modularization for large apps.
Please, please, stop reading and sharing hysterical news reports and go right to the data.

Here's daily deaths in Spain:

https://i.imgur.com/G84d20p.png

All numbers about total reported cases from the spring are going to be way, way off. There simply wasn't enough testing.

Deaths do not lie, which is why we should focus on those numbers. And by those numbers, this is in no way a repeat of Spring for Spain.
I love that you aren't in this field at all, but seem to know better than others who are. This is like that person that starts a new job, walks in on day one, and then proclaims that the place is doing everything wrong without knowing anything about how the business operates.
The work I do is fairly specialized and takes me a relatively predictable number of hours. Sometimes I'm wrong and it takes me more, but a good amount of unpredictability is baked into my charge.

If you charge more for a fixed cost, then it doesn't really matter if you are off 3x one time. Yes, it's annoying, but you make up for it with the majority of times where you work the estimated number. If you are consistently underestimating, then you need to up your estimates.

Edge computing is super interesting, and today's CDN providers should be able to provide it given their current infrastructure deployment. It could really bring in the next era of computing and technology once certain networks/providers reach critical mass to provide edge services within 5-10ms to customers.
On the margins you’re absolutely right. But for basically everyone it literally doesn’t matter. Nobody’s diet is precise enough to play these games.

Every diet that’s effective is CACO. Use whatever structure you need to actually accomplish it. If it means no carbs, vegetarianism, Atkins, WeightWatchers then good on you. Calorie tracking is a bitch and if you have a rule of thumb that works for you then enjoy it.
It's back now. But everything did indeed grind to a halt for a few minutes.
I use Voice Audiobook Player (actually a forked version) on Android because I can just load in audio files and play them, I don't have to deal with DRM or anything. I like it because it can go to 4x speed (with the forked version), most players only go to 2 or at most 3x.
Yes. I believe that.
zmodem was the most advanced in terms of both efficiency and ability to resume broken transfers ...
Yes, generational arena allocations are very popular. The larger question is more about the application architecture. Like where does one handle user input? Where does rendering happen? Etc.

The intent is to get a 3.0 out soon (by the end of summer already passed). It will not have the major rework that was originally planned for 3.0 but it is quite a bit better than 2.3.
Sure. As I said, we're living in post-innovation times and we only develop natively for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS and only on 64-bit Intel.

Except for all the times we don't.
The gate is configured by the website owner. Not to defend the frustrating experience - but I personally prefer my website to not be attacked by bot.

That's true. But if you think about it: if you have the skillset to design a laptop, your possibilities for jobs are much grander than making laptop's less upgrade-able
Heh, he says that "every scenario that they can think of except a Trump victory leads to civil war".

It sounds like he is pleading for people to support Trump. :-) Then later, "Chomsky urged US leftists to vote for Biden in this November’s presidential election".

Uh, what??? He said that would lead to civil war. He wants civil war?
And worth noting that major news orgs caught onto this in the 90s. News these days is essentially entertainment. I think as people we are responsible for this, we ask for this stuff and approve of by consuming it. We are most certainly authors of our own demise but for some reason we think this is 'happening' to us.
I meant it more as a testament to how far you can get with a Rails app before needing to consider using the power tools :^)

It's sort of like when people see emacs next to something like sublime text on a mac. It's probably super-capable but being a prototype it lacks the polish of a finished product (while overshadowing what it can do)
I think DoD can be ergonomic, actually, if you're doing it just for the architecture reasons vs. the optimizations reasons, to the point that you choose DoD due to them. At least I personally have found that eg. an ECS architecture can lead to separations and structurings of logic code that were helpful, while still defining data in ways that I could just make accessible to tooling and so on.

In this talk on their architecture for Overwatch: https://youtu.be/W3aieHjyNvw (highly recommend) you can see that the wins / concerns they talk about have to do with architecture more than perf. Big insights at 8:00 in the video.

A while back I reverted to TB 68 (now 68.10.0), because a newer one broke something. Unfortunately can't remember what it was.
A minor one, and misunderstanding of the argument.

The "obese-normalization" you speak is about fat-shaming abolitionism, against discrimination in professional and social spaces because of body composition, not that such a body type is necessarily encouraged.

Furthermore the categorization of "obese", and BMI in general, has a pile of research exposing all the caveats and encouraged more granular diagnoses around mass composition for humans. You can be categorized as obese and have perfectly fine physical function. For example, pretty much every football player is overweight, most are obese. BMI charts are only a cursory step towards a proper analysis.

If you understand that obesity comes from a medical or mental condition, then a culture of fat-shaming is comparable to having a culture of shaming those suffering from PTSD or depression or birth abnormalities, et al. That sort of culture doesn't have many positive societal effects beyond pushing people into mental duress about things they are still trying to figure out how to manage. Any hyper-normalization of extreme obesity is a side effect of the propensity of such a shaming culture as it becomes more of a political statement than a medical one (or more fringe culture i.e kinks).

Being against removing this discrimination from our culture only makes sense if you believe that an effective methodology for overcoming a health problem is by being abused by society into action conformity.

Simply, if you're too fat you should be allowed to deal with that very personal issue on your own terms and not be ostracized from professional or social spaces.

The main aspect is a demonization of fatty foods, propagandized heavily by the sugar and soft drink industry, which market realities have shifted food products to compensate for the lack of flavor and satiation from fat by loading them with sugar. This is all compounded by massive corn subsidies in the US making it extremely tempting to load up recipes with cheap, sweet, calorie dense, corn syrup.

It's not premature optimization since this is not something you can bolt on later.

Difference between source code and environments for non-tech people
In Nashville, TN (USA) bars and restaurants are closed to stop the spread of the virus. In e-mails obtained by a local television station, and later confirmed authentic by legal council, the e-mails discussed how only 80 of the 20,000 positive cases could be traced to bars and restaurants.

> Tennessee Lookout reporter Nate Rau asks, “The figure you gave of 'more than 80' does lead to a natural question: If there have been over 20,000 positive cases of COVID-19 in Davidson and only 80 or so are traced to restaurants and bars, doesn’t that mean restaurants and bars aren’t a very big problem?"

The above story broke yesterday.

Today they have allowed bars and restaurants to re-open:

https://www.tennessean.com/story/money/2020/09/17/nashville-...

I encourage others in parts of the USA such as NYC and LA to question their officials and ask them directly why they continue to keep bars, restaurants, gyms, and other small and mid-sized gatherings forbidden.
Dietary fiber plays no role other than making you poop. If you want to poop more, eat more fiber.
Interesting. I would think that $9k a month rather than year would've been better. $9k a month is really undercutting it. I've also seen that higher prices actually make customers more willing to buy, not less, especially big ones.
The original W&C model did not postulate three H-bonds between G and C, but two, which is one of the reasons why it is only "almost" correct.
The funny part is that even if you could produce direct evidence for that, I guarantee that like most discussions about this sort of topic, the itty-bitty teensy-tiny fact that "wages have completely stagnated over the past 3 decades in the West and younger generations have less comparative wealth than ever before" somehow wouldn't enter the conversation for some reason. This isn't even debatable but somehow easily forgotten. Oh, and that's assuming it's a complaint about younger generations ruining things. Which it always, 100% of the time, is.

Like: Hmmmm, gee whiz, can't imagine why consumers who have been sold up the river into using nothing but ad-funded spyware freemium apps, funded with VC cash from Saudi Aramco but still losing $500,000,000 every second in the name of "growth", a generation who have less money than ever before with completely dead-end wages while cost of living continues to rise, might not want to pay for things. Surely the answer is that "They are entitled", because clearly they're all actually flush with cash, and just don't want to pay. There isn't any other possible other external factors involved, because "Society" isn't actually real, after all, and externalities don't actually exist. I'm a very smart computer programmer whose intellect should be taken seriously on these matters.
3 really resonates. People tend to dramatically overestimate the number of calories they burn when exercising. You have to work really, really hard to burn more than 500 calories in an hour workout and most people probably burn more like 100-200 calories when they exercise. Then they go home and drink a 16oz double IPA that is 400 calories by itself.
Use headphones and turn the volume up... I didn’t notice anything either until I did that and then I noticed the slight jitters down my arms. Very odd (ymmv)
Quack it!
> They could probably infer that if I'm watching comedy ... I don't want to watch some guy's channel about bassists that they've tried to get me to watch 100 times prior.

davie504 is basically a musically-themed comedy act, so this doesn't seem that unreasonable.

In DOD you have row level polymorphism.
I agree.

I think if there was a better standardized process for getting all the same information, I would use it preferentially in a heartbeat. From experience, trying to replicate all that info-gathering process manually is not a good answer.
agree. i hate when really interesting info is tweeted out. this belongs in a blog post hosted somewhere less ephemeral. the way it was pre-web 2.0.

twitter/FB/etc serve as infomation sinkholes. sure, you may get a million likes and RT'd by influencers such as Kanye, but after a few days, whatever you wrote is forgotten and no longer discoverable. then it's as if you never wrote it at all, because nobody else will ever find it.

i miss the old web. i miss web rings. i miss just casually surfing from link to link and stumbling across serendipitous information dense and concisely written essays about some thing out there in the world that taught me valuable knowledge.

social media must die. the old web must return.

"The original estimates"

Look at this range of epidemiologists' 2020 death toll estimates (second chart below), gathered by 538 on April 2nd. Comparing to the current death total of 200k in the US, It's actually pretty decent, the majority of experts' ranges include 250k, which may be around where we end up in 2.5 months' time.

I would take any cruise-ship analysis from early on with a grain of salt. It's very hard to test a pandemic extremely early on, there are less valid and reliable testing instruments.
This. Never use them, and never work with people who insist on using them.
Yes, that’s true, however I was sleep deprived, after day long trip and I wasn’t at my top intellectual game at the moment. Also this wasn’t hotel room but instead coworkers flat which wasn’t prepared for guests. I literally was given a couch with a blanket. It wasn’t supposed to be like that nor I was supposed to stay there a lot since we worked pretty much 8-22 following days.

So yeah, it’s unbelievable story about my inaptitude at that moment. Could I handled it better? Yeah, probably. But usually stuff like this is matter of chaotic circumstances.

Police officers couldn’t turn it off neither and they fiddled with it for a 3 minutes or something like that so it’s not like I was the only one who failed ;)
As someone who was diagnosed with dyslexia, and went to a special school because of it, a lot of things in this article brought back memories.

I'm unsure how others are taught to read or spell, but the school I went to used an almost extended alphabet. Where combinations of english letters like CH were taught as if they were the roots of spelling.

It did seem to work I went from three grades under my reading level to three grades over in one year.

Effects linger on, the feeling of wanting to use a word I can't spell, unintentionally mispronouncing words, and the inability to understand a word from spoken letters("L-I-K-E-T-H-I-S") are all things I deal with.

I was lucky to be born when I was, as computers entered the picture while in middle school. Spell check, text to speech, and text based communication via IM all contributed to getting my writing skills to their current level. The removal of stress from having to spell freed mental capacity for me to just worry about the actual content instead.
Deduplication should happen at the filesystem level.

Databases do it, Git does it, ZFS does it.

Ok the first two examples aren't filesystems but they can store files, so not totally irrelevant?
There is no contradiction here. What you say is true, yet FB does terrible things at the same time.

The ability to quickly and efficiently store fat would definitely have been a positive trait under multigenerational "feast or famine" conditions. But not so much for our relatively recent "perpetual feast" largess...
Totes down
There are a whole bunch of those OGA-derived handhelds (see https://obscurehandhelds.com/). I have an RGB10 on its way to me right now. Unfortunately, the library of native titles is very, very small, basically just Tux Kart and whatever open source engine recreations have been packaged for the particular distro you're running on it. So it's mostly about emulation, which means that what you're seeing is a pretty far cry from the "real" capabilities of what that processor could do on a 480x320 display. For my part, I'm hoping to get the toolchain set up enough to try compiling OpenJazz for it.

On the other side of things are deliberately wacky low-powered, lo-fi devices with novel distribution mechanisms, like Playdate: https://play.date/
If it's a good domain it would be snatched by someone who wants to make a profit flipping domains. The domain business is broken.
All of those problems would be covered by insurance were I live. Glad I don't have to buy a house with such little buyer protection.
Interesting. (And more importantly, sorry to hear that)

So, your brain gets a stereo signal, but because of the "fuzziness" of far-away objects, it doesn't "compute" the depth information?

That makes sense to me, but - corrective lenses don't improve the issue? That's fascinating. Is that common with astigmatism? I don't know too much about depth perception issues outside of my own experience. (One might say I'm short-sighted in that regard... har har har)

For DNS hosting, not just name registration, EasyDNS is far and away the best. Epik and Namecheap are also really good, and a bit cheaper, if you don't need all the services EasyDNS provides. Both EasyDNS and Epik have a strong commitment to supporting free speech (especially Epik, the DNS hoster for Gab).
Partition Recovery
Disclaimer: this is awfully complicated, and I’m not an expert

What’s most relevant for this discussion is the system for people who are earning now for retirement in the future. The amounts are adjusted yearly, but the current maximum rate is about $14300. This is tax funded, and so doesn’t come out of your disposable income. Gaps from illness, unemployment, military service and caregiving are covered. When you start withdrawal, the accrued amount is adjusted for changes in the average national income and your life expectancy based on your age. I.e. the money is paid back to you at a rate that draws your balance to zero at the expected date of your death. If you live longer, it keeps going of course, funded by the people who die earlier. The maximum rate is therefore achieved by retiring at the oldest age (74), or roughly $97000/year with today’s numbers. This would require making well above the national average salary starting at age 13.

If you max out your income based pension described above, the base pension gets reduced substantially. Looks like it can go as low as $4300/year of benefits currently.

On top of these two pension types, your employer must save at least 2% of your income up to $134000, and pay for insurance that covers contributions if you become disabled. The employer must cover all associated costs. These plans vary a lot and have no maximum.

I will add that you need substantially less income in retirement in Norway since you won’t be paying for healthcare, and property taxes are extremely low.
Partition Recovery software is one of the best professional tools for both ordinary users and professionals who need to recover any data from a hard drive or its deleted partitions.
> I don't know the exact rules

This pretty much sums it up for me. You need to know so many rules... you need to know what those symbols mean... when people refer to Perl's syntax that they frown upon, they are referring to this: heavy use of symbols whose meanings must be memorized. I cannot just look at the code and understand it as I can with say, Ada. Pretty frustrating. I do not have to learn Ada to know what the code does. Funny that. :D At times Rust code looks very similar to Perl and Haskell. Especially Perl.
Part of the issue is that rocket league was cross platform if I recall correctly. Then epic comes in, buys it out and screws the potatoes who bought it on the competitor platform.
They're great for tinkering with distributed systems. I.e. if you want to play with Kubernetes, you can build a master and 2 workers out of RPis for like $90. They won't have enough power to run anything substantial, but it's enough to play around with upgrading the control plane or mess with the network plane. Same thing if you want to play with failure scenarios on distributed databases, or whatever. It's doable with VMs, but every time I try to do anything fancy with VM or container networking, I end up spending hours reading documentation because my VMs refuse to communicate at all.

I also like it because they force me to use Ansible and actually make my installs repeatable. On my actual server, practically everything is some snowflake crap I did at 3am that I couldn't repeat if I had to.
