I get how important UX is, and I still struggle to fathom what in structopt even generates 20x more machine code and 30x slower compilation versus a simpler argument parser which can do 95% of the job. Someone at some time thought that every line of code had to be there for some reason, but it just doesn’t seem like a reasonable default choice to me for most apps, because it’s a huge penalty just to handle some edge cases that won’t come up most of the time.

ripgrep, your example of something demands a complex arguments parsing system, seems to have had problems with unnecessary changes in clap (on which structopt is based) slowing down compilation for no reason[0][1] and currently uses none of its configurable features except suggestions[2].

Many lines connect rural to less rural places. As the train will get closer to the less rural place, it will start running under the wire. At the rural end of the line there can be a dedicated charging station for layovers. This way, there are plenty of opportunities to charge the trains.

In Germany, a very high percentage of Diesel Services could be replaced by trains having about 50km of autonomy - and for the rest it would be possible to fill the gaps using only a relatively small amount of electrification.
There's a lot of immigration from Latin America though.
If DIYing, choose your UV wavelength wisely. UVC (around 254nm wavelength) is germicidal and doesn't produce ozone (it actually dissociates ozone). "Vacuum UV" (in the range 185nm) converts oxygen in the air to ozone, which is highly toxic.

> but with HEPA certification being .3 microns and the COVID-19 virus 0.12 micron

HEPA can filter sub-0.3-micron particles, and the effectiveness trends to be even higher than its performance at 0.3 microns.

Although it's not certificated, but it's often true from a practical standpoint, due to the physics of mechanical filtration in general. The reason of using 0.3-micron in certification, is because it's the point where HEPA filters are the least effective. 0.3 um is the most difficult size to filter. Effectiveness goes up at both ends.

The effectiveness of HEPA filters trend to follow a U-shaped curve [0]. Below 0.3 um, particles are captured by the diffusion mechanism. Above 0.3 um, particles are captured by the interception and impaction mechanism. Around 0.3 um, neither mechanism is effective, and efficiency reaches a minimum.

> Mobile operators alone will balk at that.

I don't think that's a consideration anymore. When the iPhone was brand-new, Apple had a ton of trouble negotiating with carriers who were used to controlling what goes on their network. Nowadays, carriers have very little say beyond things like PCTRB certification and a mostly-cursory review of OS-level OTA updates. When it comes to apps (or even app stores), the carriers don't even get notified, let alone get veto powers.

The headaches you'll save yourself by starting fresh will vastly outweigh the problems you're afraid will happen.

> Closing loopholes is a problem and it just becomes a war of attrition with accountants and lawyers.

I think that's unfortunately true, but there must be a point of diminishing returns. Close enough loopholes (intentional loopholes or otherwise) and companies end up spending more money on tax lawyers than the value of the actual tax break. Even if some companies are able to use some loopholes, closing many of them still means more tax revenue for states. We don't need to get to a "perfect" state here.
US buildings are designed to recirculate most air for energy cost reasons. Ventilation sounds like a good idea, but it doesn't match how things work today because of how stale the air becomes.

(That's why in Silicon Valley large companies have "air consultants" measure the freshness twice per year and report the rate. I've talked to some.)

So my question stands on how and what to do to have more effective air circulation indoors, and what else we should do. And why is this conversation only happening several months into a lockdown. It's as if American government is falling down from learned helplessness.

> One should remember that any sane application will be parsing the config file into internal data structures and validating it anyway so it gets little benefit from the numbers being already “parsed”.

The benefit of standard numeric and boolean types is that different tools can exchange data in a well-understood way.

Getting rid of yaml's 30 ways to write "true" and "false" by making everything is a string just means that you now have 30 tool-specific ways to write "true" and "false".

The "everything is a string" approach already exists in shell scripts and TCL and it's not really that great.
I welcome the idea that Apple should be required to allow third-party app stores, but the only end game I see with a government app store is a legally-mandated requirement to have that app store installed on all citizens'/residents' phones. At that point the phones just become extensions of the state's intelligence apparatus, and that's a net negative for everyone's privacy.

Apple should certainly allow alternative app stores, and Google should make it easier and safer for customers to install alternative app stores, but I never want to see governments get into that market.
Doesn't typescript force Babel ?
Not saying this is automatically a problem, but you will lose money over this. When a build dependency is unavailable or broken, you cannot create production artifacts. You'll lose money over this because broken builds lead to incidents, longer time-to-recovery during incidents, and slower development. All of these cost money.

Your exposure to defects in your build dependencies will depend on a lot of factors, but the exposure will always be there.

Sibling's explanation is pretty good really. I would also have trouble doing timesheets (have thankfully never had a job that required them) but not because of adhd, just because they seem pointless and like they bring no value to my life at all. Standard adulting things are only an issue in so far as they are often out of sight out of mind, and that's a common struggle for people with ADHD (drawers are our enemy).

Mundane is probably not exactly the right word tbh, but it's hard to find the right word. I think it would be more accurate to describe it as things with a lot of upfront planning involved. If I can basically react my way through something to completion I can get into hyperfocus and just blaze through it.

A lot of the time the way I've gotten around this is to force it to be an emergency so I can't think about it too much. Either by leaving it to the last second or just convincing myself.

And that's a really common pattern you see in people before they get ADHD diagnoses.

> But it also felt bland, boring. I didn't feel anything

I don't have experience with atomoxetine, but other meds, and this sounds a like an symptom of over dosage. The typical "ritalin robot" is usually causes by taking to much.

Maybe you can check out other meds. I experienced the "blend robot" situation a few times with Medikinet and learned that Methylphenidate is very sensitive to food intake and PH in the stomach, which can make the effect less predictable. I switched to Lisdexamfetamin - it's less dependent on food and works better for me.

SETI is complete and utter non-sense.

If you don't know why, here's a riddle for you: you are the first space colonist who reaches our closest star, Proxima Centauri. How do you send a message back, such as "We arrived" , plus maybe a photo of a planet you intend to colonize? Piece of cake, you say. Point your parabolic antenna back towards Earth and beam the message. Voyager is doing just that, but from closer to home. Only 20 light-hours away from Earth. Voyager is using a transmitter of about 20 W and an antenna of about 2 meters in diameter. You are about 2000 times farther away. Since radio waves lose power with the square of the distance, you have a problem 4 million times harder to solve than Voyager. Actually, your problem is much, much harder than this: your friends on Earth pointing their antennas towards you are blinded by the star that practically touches your spaceship. You are separated from that star by an angle measured in seconds of arc. You need to shout very loud to be heard over the tremendous noise made by your fiery neighbor. But you can do that, you presumably have a portable nuclear reactor with you and can use gigawatts to solve this essential problem.

But now, imagine you are an alien chatting merrily over radio waves with a friend in the same planetary system around Proxima Centauri. If you don't take a humongous antenna, point it in the absolute exact direction of Earth, and use a few Gigawatts of power to beam a message, how are we, Terrans, supposed to hear you? How is SETI supposed to discover aliens who are not purposely beaming waves straight at us?

The assumption of uniform laws is used when evaluating how evidence confirms or rejects a theory. The assumption of uniform physical laws is used when theories are compared to see which is the best explanation for the evidence.

> The idea, for example, that physical constants change over time is very much a hypothesis that is given serious consideration. It just turns out that there's no evidence for it.

In fact the hypothesis that the speed of light changes over time is a component of several heterodox physical theories that have appeared over the years. Whether or not there is evidence for a theory depends entirely on the assumptions used when attempting to explain a phenomenon.
That's not the only way to deal with them, you can specify type like bson.

The nice thing about that is it solves the problem rather than hoping it doesn't matter or assuming each program's validator will think to note all of the possible data types not compatible with the program natively. If a u32 is defined in the file and you've only got doubles to work with it's a given you'll have to deal with it in your tool specific validation. For everyone else it's well defined.

The downside is it's a bit more verbose and if you have all of that info already it's pretty easy to jump to just using a binary format which will be more efficient anyways.

The research I'm aware of has shown that light backgrounds help people with astigmatism because they cause constriction of the pupils to adapt to the increased light coming in given low ambient light, which brings things into sharper focus for those with astigmatism.

Of course not constricting the pupils is a major reason people like dark mode, and mobile devices have greatly increased the use of screens in environments with low ambient light. I suspect the only good solution is to support both light and dark modes universally.

No. Typescript is its own entirely separate standalone compiler toolchain.

I agree with much of what you have said but you appear to be lumping all policing organizations together on the basis of some recent high-profile events. Many cops work in local departments serving communities across the US and we simply do not have data on how prolific (or not) these abuses are, nor do we have data on the natural background rate of human-on-human abuses with which to compare the current level of abuses with a hypothetical alternative (such as mafia rule).

This is akin to saying that all programmers are evil because of the actions of google et al.

The new charges relate to obtaining and publishing the secret documents. Most of these charges relate to obtaining the secret documents. The three charges related to publication concern documents which revealed the names of sources in dangerous places putting them "at a grave and imminent risk" of harm or detention.

It also said it is not clear how Wikileaks's publications are legally different from other publications of classified information.

This might be me being overly cautious here, but I would be wary of the political implications of the study.

It's from an open University that's a project for lifelong learning funded as a public service in Catalonia - promoting the catalan language in the region is a key point of the project, so studies finding out that bilingualism is something great to have raise red flags about the nationalist agenda behind it.

To be clear, I'm not trying to make a point against catalan people or taking a position in any political side whatsoever. I'm just pointing out the potential for local context affecting the scientific method here.
