> Only recently did people realize the physical universe could continue — aimlessly — without us ... And, in realizing that the entire fate of human value within the physical universe may rest upon us, we could finally begin to face up to what is at stake in our actions and decisions upon this planet.

This does not compute. In the old paradigm we were at the center of the universe with the creator's undivided attention, and answerable to Him after life, with eternal bliss or torture on the table. In the new one we're trivial beings on a trivial dust mote in a trivial galaxy, answerable to ourselves only, and death is the end. Those stakes seem vastly lower. How does that translate into more responsibility for our actions?
That's exactly how it works - you pay taxes on net gains (gains minus losses) in a tax year, and if there's a net loss you can deduct and/or carry it over. Why is that problematic? It's exactly how gains/losses work when trading shares of stock.

Maybe you didn’t raise your voice loud enough. Try waving your arms a lot faster. Once you reach takeoff velocity you will be surprised how much respect and awe you can command from Thai people. This will also work outside of Thailand.
I found the America’s Test Kitchen books to be great as a starting point. The recipes are good, and generally made from easily accessible ingredients. There is also always a page or two of discussion about developing the recipe (what worked, what didn’t, etc) that includes some instructions on technique. I often give the Best Recipes book as a gift to younger relatives who are just learning.

Your logging is `tail`, your deploy is `rsync`, your rollback is `git revert` or SSH-ing in and checking out a commit.

In general I agree and these studies are what got me looking into it in the first place. But there's a ceiling too. Dr. Deva Boone has talked about it here on HN [1].

Social media accounts can be worth real money in the right conditions. It might be time to start having some real regulations around these things. If my bank account was hijacked, the bank wouldn't be able to just ignore my pleas. I remember seeing a youtuber who made a living off her account about a year ago get her account hijacked, and it took months to resovle the issue. Youtube didn't really help her at all until it became quite public.

Here's an explanation that has nothing to do with allergies. It might be cerebrospinal fluid leaking through your nose.

People can live like that forever without any issues. Linked to increased intracranial pressure, empty or partial sella, headaches that improve when laying down.

I had that, had trouble breathing every night, thought it was allergies, rinsed my nose but still every morning woke up with mucus in nose and throat. Metallic taste in mouth.

Only when I started powerlifting and got the headaches, doctors did an MRI, found empty sella, protrusions of brain tissue in sinuses and a quick procedure relieved me of my yearlong miseries that accompany the clogging.

I wake up feeling as fresh as when I was 10 years old.

Interesting, and makes sense, seeing as how the Web didn't yet exist when domain names were first invented, but email did. It does make sense that they were thus represented in a manner catering to that use case. In hindsight I guess we'd prefer if emails were backwards too, e.g. com.gmail@cydeweys

Similarly, TI is pushing some crap (TI-nspire) with vastly inferior UX to TI-89/TI-92.

Fortunately, TI haven't lost their minds yet. They still sell a version of the TI-89.

I am hoping that line does last. Otherwise, they'll be basically abandoning a market to whoever will have to pop up to serve it.

I agree with you. I wasn’t trying to say only politicians exhibit this behavior, just that they do.

The justices definitely think about the litigants, and similarly situated parties. Sotomayor and Ginsburg regularly made litigant-related emotional appeals (usually near the end of oral argument), notably in the healthcare and DAPA/DACA cases. I do not recall Scalia making emotional appeals, but he was sympathetic to the administrative agencies (in a manner which I see as inconsistent with most of his other jurisprudence, and which he later drew back from).
I would guess the library uses OpenCV primitives to do things like figure out the size of the label before drawing the background fill underneath. That's normally where the complexity comes in for drawing labels. I'm not sure if you can do that easily with ImageDraw?

For users of this library, OpenCV is pretty likely to already be installed anyway.

Another couple of reasons - OpenCV in my experience handles nonstandard images much better than Pillow (eg many channels, >8 bit). It also has a uniform Python/C++ interface so this could easily be ported if desired. I maintain a C++/Qt desktop annotation app and this would definitely be something to crib from for visualisation. Although in this case image loading could be done somewhere else and the library could just take a Numpy array.

Edit: turns out it's possible with a few extra steps, but it's not trivial. You need to handle ascender/descenders, etc: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43060479/how-to-get-the-....

Is there a country which actually forbids going outside right now?

Even Melbourne in heavy lockdown was allowing/recommending limited time exercise outside.
I have a bookmarking system built with MongoDB as the database. It has user and device management, real-time synchronization.

I am seriously considering migrating it to PostgreSQL, rewriting the entire backend.

One of the greatest things about MongoDB is the existence of Studio 3T, a really good administration software for MongoDB, and I wouldn't want to miss it.

I spent a couple of years coding with MySQL and used phpMyAdmin. I wouldn't want to go back to such a tool, and I think that pgAdmin is what would be PostgreSQL's alternative to phpMyAdmin.

The only software which I found to suite me was DataGrip.

Are those the only two reasonable administration tools for PostgreSQL? DataGrip and pgAdmin?
Personally I wouldn't go that high without talking to a doctor. There are just a whole bunch of confounding factors with Vitamin D: It takes six weeks of continuous supplementation to really see the effects. It's fat-soluble so whether you're losing or gaining weight matters. And now this!

There's just a whole lot of variables. If you're going really high-dose, check with your doctor. Even if you do need a high dose to catch up and level out, how would you know when to stop?

Search the string "devaboone" here on HN for more about the potential drawbacks of really high doses.
> Novels from Nordic and British Isles authors have been easier for this American to discover.

So the Martin Beck novels by Sjowall / Wahloo are probably on your radar then, for mystery fans that have not seen them they are worth reading.

Also Seishi Yokomizo is a Japanese mystery author that may appeal to Christie fans

Table manners too are so culture specific though. Who am I (a Briton) to insist that roti should be eaten with fork and knife, rather than finger-formed into a shovel, at an Indian restaurant? Or to object to slurping from bowls hovering off the table at a Chinese one?

That said, if the setting is English, (/French/¿European?) I despise seeing, for example, fork and knife cack-handed.

I highly recommend the television series, made by UK's ITV, starring David Suchet as Hercule Poirot. It ran for 24 years! It is eminently watchable, especially in these pandemic times. And the opening music!

Yeah, and picking a language was the hardest decision for the book. I wrote the compiler prototype for it in OCaml, but using it for the book would have narrowed its audience unnecessarily. In the end, I'm very happy with picking TypeScript: it allowed to discuss the matters of static and dynamic typing within the same language. Using Python with mypy would be another option, but then, since I wanted the source language to be a subset of the implementation language, I would have to explain parsing whitespace-sensitive code, which is tricky.
Yeah, but the original was _very_ much targeted at a specific region.

First off, the idea that this entire area is all in a floodplain or is repeatedly being rebuilt is just plain false. It ain't. End of story.

The bigotry comment is due to the history of the region. Flood control has historically been used to forcibly evict black communities, particularly along the gulf coast. Its a bit of a dog whistle here.

Yes, I'm a white guy. Yes, I'm still bringing it up.

Ever notice how it's only the majority non-white cities people are calling for forcibly evicting everyone from? Case in point: Houston, but not Galveston or Corpus Christi. New Orleans but not Baton Rouge or Covington.

Ever notice how it's the poorest communities that are at risk of losing their land, and not the wealthy-but-equally-flood-prone communities next door? (E.g. no one's saying "force people out of Katy", they're saying "force people out of the third ward")

Maybe you don't, but here, it's a big deal.

Historically, that same argument (it'd be better for everybody if no one lives there) is at the heart of a lot of egregious behavior by local and state governments (mostly local).

It's the reason people were _so_ pissed off about the arguments that big swaths of New Orleans shouldn't be rebuilt. It's why "we will rebuild" was such a rallying cry.

And it's why targeting the main African American population center in the state specifically (Houston -- I'm not talking about Lake Jackson in this, as I don't know it that well.) and falsely claiming it's flooding all the time and constantly having to be rebuilt at taxpayer expense tends to provoke a strong response here.
Heller is an interesting one, though I disagree with your statement that it was invented from whole cloth. I see Heller as a good example of constitutional consistency. Over time, the courts have developed a range of standards, each of which applies to one or two amendments. I hope Heller is the first step in a rationalization of constitutional law, as there is no reason for certain rights to be more or less protected than others.

As to Marbury v. Madison, even (some) originalists believe in stare decisis, though it is a controversial topic.
I get this, but I also see people I'd describe as real experts saying "SwiftUI isn't ready for production, too buggy for serious apps."

I'm probably going to be all-in on SwiftUI but it does make me nervous -- what if Apple decides the bugginess level is acceptable and you should just code around it if you don't like it? That's a pretty terrible outcome for people like me who are investing now in the ecosystem.
I'd suggest that for MySQL, MySQL Workbench is a closer comparison to Studio 3T, and in my limited experience quite good. (I really like their diagramming tool, but haven't used the rest of the toolset in some years).
Sure, my comment was meant to further demonstrate how different nations have different laws foreigners must respect when within their borders.

I've read multiple articles over the years about foreigners being caned in Singapore over relatively minor actions, hence my not being surprised if they did such a thing.

Here's one such example:

https://www.nytimes.com/1994/06/26/us/us-student-tells-of-pa...

Singapore strikes me as an interesting mix of an archaic kingdom with a modern culture and economy. I'm not necessarily against their use of corporal punishment and strict laws, it seems to be a generally nice place.
Yep, I've read a bit of Martin Beck and Harry Hole.

Not because of their Java background, but because the complexity of developing in Java is hidden behind tooling not available in other languages, that make it manageable

It is almost unimaginable for Java programmers to use vim or a non Windows setup (thanks to Java IDE like Eclipse, Nerbeans or Intellij that's less of a problem nowadays)

In 2001, AQ found a "hack" that turned a commonly used benign technology into a weapon that took down two towers. I think we should have been less narrowly focused on winning a "War on Terror" and put some effort into preventing other such "hacks" that nation states could employ against the West.
A lot has been said already. But in general I have the impression that you lack a senior developer who is able to give you proper estimations. Juniors are not able to do this, they don't have enough experience to calculate the effort they need and they are not able to foresee hidden technical difficulties

They understand, they’re just aiming to maximise monetary gain. There’s so many scams to avoid that it’s actually hard work to travel there.

The culture of keeping a calm exterior can lull people into a false sense of security. A businessman I knew who lives there told me “you’ll never know a Thai is angry with you until they’re trying to kill you”. Definitely a gross generalisation, but hints of truth to it.

This made me curious about how a business can defend itself if a competitor hires people to leave negative reviews.
They also did a nationwide hiring blitz of installers, so it's also possible that the hiring rush was so they could build product for sale and had little to do with the deadline.

They only announced that V3 product development was complete in late 2019, so ramping up it's production also happened around this time.

Foreign travellers in the US can be as bad or worse than US travelers in other countries. Many Europeans, Asians, Africans, South Americans etc do no better job informing themselves of and following local customs in the US than Americans do in their countries.
The obvious response is that Harvard and Yale are the best law schools, so it's not inconsistent that all the best students come from there. I don't know if that's the case, but looking at LSAT ranges at least they seem to be at the top.
I see that you do not understand that an emulated popcount instruction would be worse than useless.

Incentivizing Regenerative Agriculture

>While this reaction by the hotel does sound excessive I’d give them the benefit of the doubt that this guest behaved like a total idiot while at the property and then turned around with very unflattering descriptions and manufactured truths aka lies about this resort. He then refused to discuss the matter with the hotel and instead of stopping even accelerated his online badmouthing on channels other than TripAdvisor after the first bad review was “managed” away (deleted).

>These little islands in Thailand are well known to be essentially run by the local mafia and a lot of people have met their fate at these islands after run in with the locals. In 2014 a British couple was killed on Koh Tao and the crime was later pinned on some illiterate Burmese migrant workers. The two Burmese were initially sentenced to death and just received a Royal pardon, reducing the sentence to life imprisonment.

>I’m just noting this in the context of the situation at hand to show that one should consider his behavior and own security while on these islands.

He's giving the hotel the benefit of the doubt that it's the guest's fault, but also brings up that the islands are run by the mafia and has a corrupt justice system. What's he trying to say? That even if you're right, you shouldn't write a bad review because the justice system is corrupt and you're going to end up in jail anyways?

I do wonder if some of the preference is dependent on stage-of-life too. When I was younger and had fewer friends I enjoyed open offices more. As an older employee with a family and more non-work friendships the disadvantages of open plans are more obvious
> what Senate Republicans did

Party politics has become an increasingly tit for tat series of one side violating a norm, followed by the other side one-upping them.

It's basically a war of attrition at this point.

Republicans are going to push through a new court appointee, largely "because fuck you, that's why."

If Democrats win control of either the Presidency or the Senate, expect them to do something similar. Also simply "because fuck you."

At some point it's going to all boil over, and who knows where that will end up.

> they're unprofessional

In what way are tattoos related to professionalism?
It really depends on the industry and the stage of the company. Without knowing that, I can't comment much.

Founder sales is very much marketing+ sales. As much as you're selling the product, you're selling yourself. Chances are the early adopters who are going to buy your product are actually buying into your vision and YOU!

I think the question you're asking is how to get the market responds to your product aka product market fit. In the early days, sales is about understanding the market, finding your early adopters and let them help you shape your product. I would recommend you reading "Crossing the Chasm: Marketing and Selling High-Tech Products to Mainstream Customers".
