And further compounding the issue, in a specific part of France, they will give you shit for even trying to speak French. It doesn’t matter if you have good vocabulary and decent grammar / pronunciation, they still will refuse to speak to you or worse insult you for even trying. This certainly isn’t an issue in all of France, just one specific area that I’ll avoid naming to not offend folks from there.
I can respect you as a person while still thinking your opinion is not to be taken seriously. Respecting an opinion which is this far off the mark isn't something I'm willing to do.
kind of. coaching is probably peanuts compared to the rest.

physios (and all other folks) that fly with you. first class and private flights (hilarious that the top players are flown on the tournament dime to the tournaments), perfect nutrition (potentially with personal chefs), nutritionists, drugs or drug therapies, surgeries, preventative medicine etc. staying in a topnotch hotel for two or three weeks prior to a grandslam tournament to get accustomed to the location and time zone.... the list goes on and on.

One of the hard things about computers is that things often work perfectly right up until they don't.

If you're driving a car a little bit too far between maintenance checkups, it might start making some concerning noises, feel off, etc.

But no one not intimately familiar with spreadsheets would think anything is near failure when they have 65534 rows (showing my age, it's a bit higher now, right? :) ).

This has happened to lots of people that "should know better", like when Slashdot hit a 16M comment limit in 2006: https://slashdot.org/story/06/11/09/1534204/slashdot-posting...
It "has nothing to do with timing" in the sense that it doesn't let you choose how much delay to incur. It most certainly does "have something to do with timing" in that it lets you do I/O immediately, without polling or incurring system timer interrupt delays... which is precisely what his description of the problem required. It's kind of bizarre to see you trying to interject into it to argue with me as if you know his situation better than himself while even contradicting his descriptions in the process. I feel like the discussion already concluded on that topic. I'll leave this as my last comment here.
How to Create Effective Sales Enablement Content [with Examples]
Everything seems to suggest that this has already happened. The reason this works as a 'side hustle' is because it's only lucrative if you ascribe a very low value to your time (and your car mileage, and the stress of doing admin for your 'business').

The fact the big players don't bother, the number of 'entrepreneurs' doing this in their spare time, the fact that they repair, move and restock the machines themselves, the calculations which ignore the presumably high risk of vandalism or theft, the presence of a landlord who can charge you as much as they like. And finally, the existence of 'mentors' who will charge you to be taught how to replicate their business.
I run a similar setup and run various things like Wireguard (so I can connect in), an HTTP server, Home Assistant for my house automations, automated nightly backups, etc etc. It's more than just data access.
The GP is concerned that a word appearing in legal statutes is being redefined in a way that changes the law. A fair concern in isolation from policing considerations.

"Species"-level differences are off the table. Everybody can have babies with everybody else. All the babies can grow up to have babies with all the other ones. Clearly, humans are 1 species.

With "species" addressed the 3rd proposed definition becomes "Racism is the (...) belief that there exist multiple human races".

(Is the existence of race contentious? What is being used for the definition of "race"?)

I disagree that this 3rd definition leads to the GP's 1st or 2nd. Existence of differences does not always imply separating per those differences. Nor does it require placing false emphasis on anything. It can, certainly, but it need not.

The GP's point remains open.
I certainly wish the founder well, but I think there's a pretty low ceiling for how far you can go with something like this, because it goes against some of the biggest reasons organizations adopt Office 365 in the first place:

1. You're stuck with another subscription for a "one use" product. Even though MS products often suck, you get a lot of functionality for one reasonable price. You might argue "$3.50 per month is nothing". Well, you're not going to be using a wiki and only have one person able to make changes. Otherwise you'd create a page some other way. You're going to have to pay on a per-person basis for a wiki that they might edit only a couple times over the course of the month.
Carry that out to five years, and the math doesn't work.

2. You have to give your data to a company you don't know and storing it in an alternative location.

3. You're dealing with a second, small company you've never heard of.
I mean, statistics relies heavily on calculus. It might be best to try and fit both in. Something at least a little bit fun and educational could be achieved with some dice throwing or simple computer simulations. High school students place dice games, they will immediately appreciate how useful a bit of probability would be in that context.

>It has great colleges, great weather, and weak noncompetes.

Massachusetts certainly can't do anything about winter although by "great weather," depending upon your preferences most of the world is pretty much screwed relative to the Bay area.

But great schools relative to the Boston area? They're probably as good overall.

And, while California has particularly weak enforcement of non-competes, Massachusetts recently weakened non-competes and, in any case, there's a pretty long history of people moving among tech companies in the area. And many companies in the Northeast don't have non-competes.

They had stuff like theatres, temples, and aqueducts that still stood after being utterly neglected for a millenium, whilst their fancy new churches took centuries to get built and needed constant maintenance. It’s easy to see how this would seem wonderful, or how they would take ancient Rome’s engineers and architects as models.

Also, we tend to take things we’re familiar with for granted, and overlook them when comparing different societies. So of course, ancient civilisations were terrible for other reasons, but still...

345M pesos is too much to pay for someone building a system that uses columns in Excel to manage data (btw that's 16M dollars).
We’ve actually had a similar issue in the US with some Electronic Initial Case Report documents (to be clear, we mostly rely on Electronic Lab Results-ELR rather than eICR in the US to count COVID numbers, so this hasn’t resulted in an under-count)

Rather than be a problem with the database having arbitrary file size limits, it actually was a problem with file size limits within network intermediaries. In most cases, the issue is less the limit, and more that the files themselves were too large because of how they were created. I don’t think this is the same issue as the UK (I don’t think they are using the eICR standard there yet), but it’s an example of how you could have a problem with file size limitations without storing data in Excel.
Sadly it takes about 24 to get tested and 24 hours for the lab result. That gives very little time to trace contacts before they start entering the asymptomatic-but-infectious-to-others stage. A one day delay is a problem.
Q: Are chassis/aero/suspension innovations relevant to ICE cars? If so, would they still be relevant to EVs given that EVs have different constraints (e.g. EVs have a different weight distribution to ICE cars, as batteries are heavy and non-moving, whereas (SPECULATION) fuel tanks have fuel sloshing around inside like a bathtub)?

Formula 1 chasses are way different to standard car chasses so presumably yes, but it really seems like an assumption to be careful about.
National Geographic Travel
What’s a traveler to do during a global pandemic? There are many ways to answer that question. “Despair,” though, is not one of them.
Expeditions are led by National Geographic experts or expedition teams, and feature world-class accommodations and experiences, including special access to sites and field researchers. Most activities and meals are included in the expedition cost, which ranges from $1,500 to $4,500 per person. Email natgeotraveln@gmail.com

When you book a National Geographic Journey, you’ll receive all pre-trip information electronically, including destination-specific stories and information prepared by National Geographic.
The trouble is, that entire narrative about the testing capacity being a lie because of secret leaked figures about the number of people tested was itself a massive lie.

For context, the Government publishes a stat for the number of people tested for the first time ever each week (used to be daily, but that was dropped in part due to people misusing it). Certain publications and politicians - starting I think with the Times - pushed the narrative that this was the real number of people being tested, and that the reason it was so far below the stated capacity was because the real capacity was far lower than the Government claims: https://archive.is/n3Yku This was bullshit on multiple levels - there are several important uses of testing, like routine screening of NHS frontline staff and hospital patients being admitted and discharged, that result in people being retested who've been tested at some point previously, and those obviously use actual testing capacity on people who haven't been tested that day or week. (Testing two samples from the same person in short succession, on the other hand, is unusual and not general policy.) Not only that, the people tested number is from pillar 1 and 2 testing in England only for the week ending the 2nd of September, whereas the capacity figure seems to be for all pillars in the entire UK at around the 12th or 13th. It makes absolutely no sense to compare them. And the cherry on the top is that I'm pretty sure this number is from before the problems with test shortages and testing delays that they're implying it explains.

The not-so-secret weekly report in question with the number of people tested for the first time is here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/nhs-test-and-trac...

I like the concept but I’ve seen a fair few examples of where the developers and users clearly had differing opinions about which states are invalid!

Dates are a rich vein of examples. Some users will happily consider “25th December” to be a date, without any year, because it might be the name of a folder in which they store their Christmas stuff. More seriously, genealogists or historians may want to record “25th December” (again without a year) as the date of a photograph because they can clearly see it was taken on a Christmas, they just don’t know which one. The naive developer would just slap a DateTime type onto the system and feel good about having avoided malformed input.
Right, comparative and non-comparative sorting algorithms.

I'd say radix sort is the canonical example of a non-comparative sorting algorithm.

> That route is prohibitively risky in most European countries.

I'd say this is risky everywhere and regardless of the fact that personal bankruptcy is a thing in the US. Heck, running big debts on credit cards is a pretty unique US thing, because usually the limits are either little and/or the interest rate is prohibitive.

I agree the risk taking is smaller in Europe, but if you need a loan go talk to your bank, putting a debt in a credit card is a stupid idea period even in the US.

Twilio Signal 2020. I expected more from the leading CPaaS vendor
IANAL, but from my understanding, it’s a bit more complicated than that. If a lawyer tells you something is “probably ok”, but doesn’t cage that “probable” in enough legalese, then they can potentially be held liable in court. This is why you’ll rarely see a good attorney saying things like you suggested.

Ultimately though, there is an important thing that GP’s friend missed out on. Lawyers do not tell you what to do, rather instead they advise you of risk on what your options are. It’s your responsibility to decide how much risk you are willing to bear.

> They found that the new test had 96% sensitivity and 98% specificity. The accuracy of a test is based on these two proportions. A test that's highly sensitive will detect almost everyone who has the disease; and a test that has high-specificity will correctly rule out almost everyone who doesn't have the disease.

I'm on a very low dose of lisdexamfetamine and i freaking haaaaate missing a dose. As I understand it, it is a precursor of dextroamphetamine and your body converts it into it slowly through a metabolic-like process-- so pretty similar to XR but less of a saw-tooth curve throughout the day and more of a single sine curve.
I wouldn't call it a nightmare, but it sometimes feels like one. It is really a miracle drug for me in terms of letting me let myself comply to external demands on my attention and order my life.

But this wasn't about relocation - there are regular bus lines between her previous place of work and new one (it was basically an office outside of city and she then got moved to office inside of city, distance is less than 15KM by car) - it's just that she was hired to work in place A and she wasn't willing to travel, also she's not exactly an agreeable personality. Court ruled that she got hired in position A and that was in her work description and they couldn't change that without good cause (and they were doing office rotations I don't know exactly why)
Yeah I mentioned horses at the end of my comment. I think the big difference is horse racing isn’t so much entertainment for enthusiasts as it is a gambling endeavor. If we took the ability to wager on each race I’m not sure it would exist.
Maybe I and my friends are hopelessly pedantic nerds, but we definitely use "murder" to denote a group without using the word "crows" explicitly (e.g. "I saw a murder flying overhead on my way through the meadow").

Generally, this reminds me of proposals to move to a universal time zone.

Even if you could remove the more obscure terms from common usage, there's plenty of literature and music that use them, so people will still need to learn then for historical reasons. This, your pursuit of simplicity actually increases total complexity.

I suppose the difference is that natural languages evolve constantly, so everyone is used to the slow drift as a part of life and occasionally having to look up phrases that have fallen out of use when reading older books.

Windows Subsystem for Linux Started as Project Astoria on Windows Phone
This is good article. But the second example seems to suffer from the defect of the first. Removing default contracts and representing fixed contracts as intervals leaves it possible that these fixed contracts can overlap....which is probably...undesirable?

In that case, applying the remedy of the first example (a set of dates, and inferring that every 2nd (even zero length, to account for adjacent fixed) interval will be default,) introduces another bug where if you lop off any random date in that set or list, you invert everything.

I love the concept represented here, it is akin to normalization as in...simplify the representation so no redundancy is introduced as this usually leads to better results...but it seems it's no guarantee of better results.

But maybe that's just because the "model" we are simplifying from was not an optimal representation. Perhaps there's a better model of the second example that doesn't end up with the defect of the first example.

I really like this article but am struck by how something that I wanted to be almost a silver bullet trick for modeling, ends up being a mass of compromises mired in tradeoffs that doesn't show any clear way forward in the general case. Still, probably a good rule of thumb, but I guess this rule is not optimal...as it can have so many unworkable misinterpretations/misapplications.

It would be cool to see a list of, like, "Programming Heuristics", ranked by decreasing general applicability, of which this rule was a member somewhere far down the list.

The US is the richest country in the world, and even one of the wealthiest per capita, and significantly wealthier than Germany or Austria. That it’s not capable of doing as well as those two for all of its citizens is something that is a deep source of shame for me, an American living in Germany.

Germany still falls short for those at the bottom, but there are not several million people there who are unable to get a cavity filled or are terrified of the financial consequences of an ambulance ride.

Do people out there actually squash commits? Granted, I didn't change many work places in my career, but at no place where I worked people squashed commits. What's even the point of it? It's not like people routinely read the commit history, and when they do, they really would like a complete story, not 20 gargantuan commits that contain 3 years of development.
I'd be interested to see comparisons with the "S3-alike" services like Wasabi [1] and BackBlaze's B2 [2]. Their selling point is that they're a lot cheaper, so performance comparisons would be interesting.

I never understood the need to squash commits (or rebase). If you do merge requests and use merge commits (like GitHub or gitlab do). A "nice" history is a small script away. It should even be a part of the GitHub/gitlab gui. Do not loose information about the development history!
