They weave different densities and materials in different sections of the upper to make some areas stronger, some more breathable, some stretchy, etc. You may have seen it referenced in some of the recent furor over the Next% carbon midplate.
I was diagnosed with ADD as a kid and took Ritalin for a little while, but hated it so I convinced my parents to let me stop. I haven't sought medication or treatment since then. I can manage it really well if I'm intentional about how I arrange and use my environment, and it usually seems like the bursts of intense focus and creativity compensate for the tendency to be distracted and chasing multiple concurrent threads. Granted, I need a manager and work environment that indulges my need to deep dive on something without a lot of structure occasionally. Losing those bursts and everything becoming kind of gray scale is why I hated taking the meds as a kid.
I’m using current statistics.

How exactly is the ship sinking?
This is a weird article. Jet is effectively a divergent colormap and allows highlighting of extemes, but none of the other colormaps they consider are useful in this context. Jet isn't competing with batlow and viridis, it's competing with BwR.

Yeah batlow looks better than jet on a photograph, but that doesn't mean it's necessarily better for communicating data that doesn't share the underlying features of photographs. I'd like to see whether jet or batlow has better accuracy when asking readers to eyeball data values from -1 to 1 based on color.

I personally avoid jet etc, but the motivations they give here seem to miss the point of why these colormaps are used.

Everyone is fine when it's distributed to them; half the population will not tolerate it distributed elsewhere. Which means that the only kind of redistribution that's politically feasible is the kind that ends at about half the population. So this plan to pay farmers would likely have broad support.
I don't think dog whistle is the correct term for this; the language isn't coded. Virtue signaling might be a better term for what you're describing.
> why we don't just pay the ranchers for livestock killed

Ah ha. A HN thread close to home (I live within earshot of wolves in Montana). So...we do [1], [2]. Ranchers (generalizing, of course) just don't like wolves. It's a really deep cultural thing. So if you as president want to take some step that will cause a bunch of folks in ranching areas to high five, you'd delist wolves. That they may not in fact be impacted by wolf activity is moot.

The powerline fix (dragging and it not placing the last pole) is awesome, it's a bug that always bothered me even though I understood exactly what "edge case" (not that "edge" but still) it was hitting. Also wires in blueprints/ghosts is nice. I'll have to play with the ghost fast replace but I think this will be very nice once I re-train myself to trust the expected way you want that to work (vs knowing it doesn't work normally and adjusting for it).

Overall I continue to be impressed by the Factorio team and consider it some of the best money I've ever spent on a video game. In terms of return on investment (time-wise) I think it's got every game beat expect maybe Skyrim for me.

The only ongoing developments in this story are embarrassing revelations that show what an amateur hour version of Russian disinformation this is and the sort of idiots who are prepared to believe it (and the useful idiots like Greenwald who get paid to promote it.)

Eh, a hunter spends hours or days to kill one animal reasonably quickly. A farm slaughters thousands of animals after raising them in absolutely cruel conditions. If I had the goal to make animals suffer fewer creature-hours of pain then faced with the choice to either ban hunting or ban livestock, I'd go with livestock.

However if you're vegetarian, vegan, or raise your own livestock then I salute you as having a consistent stance on the issue.

> Trump went into politics a rich man. Biden become rich while being in Politics.

Biden wasn't very wealthy for most of his political career, which was as a Senator from 1973 to 2009, nor when he was VP. His net worth was under half a million when his VP term ended.

His current wealth of around $10-20 million or so came after he was no longer in office, mostly from a multi-book deal with Flatiron Books for both he and his wife ($8 million), speaking fees (basic fee $100k, but sometimes as low as $8k and as high as $190k), and $540k from his professorship with the University of Pennsylvania's Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement.

There's a chart of Biden and his wife's total earnings from 1998-2019 in this Forbes article [1].

Having used both Love2D and Pygame, Love2D is far and away more capable than Pygame used to be, because it can actually use GPU acceleration, and because Lua's features (like coroutines) make for a far more expressive way to write games.

Which isn't to say that people can't use Pygame to good effect, but that you're working uphill with it a lot more.

Looking at other comments here, though, it sounds like newer versions of pygame stepped up significantly in terms of what can be done. Kudos!
Because the alternative is to say that ranchers need to protect their livestock from wildlife, and then wolves end up back on the ESL.
Although I suspect people around here hate the word "privilege," I've always thought that the ability to complain about "censoring" deliberate misinformation campaigns that affect the lives of millions of people is pretty high up there on the privilege ladder. I've seen countless tweets and comments from hackers and neckbeards smugly whining from an ivory (emphasis on ivory) tower about "cancel culture," which I guess is just what they call it when previously marginalized groups take power away from the powerful. It's so easy to be ideologically pure when you and your family are not directly impacted by political results.

SWEs at Google are certainly on call for pretty much every product. Not really sure how you expect PMs to be on call considering their general lack of technical knowledge. However, PMs and T/PMs are constantly grooming and organizing bug hotlists.

Google does not ignore your website, what nonsense. I have always posted on my own domain and I have a strong readership. RSS exists, link aggregators exist (how did you find this article? On HN!), it's not all glum and woe.
Unethical? It’s unethical for the interview not being all over the USA airways and news outlets!!! It’s like we are living in a Communist county! Unbelievable this is not all over the airwaves! Tony Babulinski is a VERY credible source, along with all the texts, emails and Voicemails he has. I don’t know what country I’m living in anymore. I’m schocked and saddened.
And I deeply disagree with you.

If we are looking for people who earn lots of money for no real tangible work, the people who work in tax exempt churches and congregations are much higher in that list than people in academia.

All modern prophets, pastors, speakers, con artists and so on. People in academia don't buy a new SUV every year, while these talkers do.

And right now, with the Covid crisis, we need the work of the academics. Not the whatever they do in the talkers group.
Also keep in mind that the Raspberry Pi Zero (used by the person you're responding to) has the same processor as the original Pi. I'm certain that the Pi 4 does tremendously better at handling crypto than the original Pi processor.

The 64-bit versus 32-bit thing is almost certainly software wonkiness, as that forum post indicates. There's no reason the 64-bit mode should be slower than 32-bit mode for that task, and benchmarks often show that 64-bit ARM is actually measurably faster than running in 32-bit mode, due to the additional available registers and whatnot.
Well, my understanding is that there is no covenant on that land which protects the wolves, so the farmers have some right to shoot them. The states technically own all wildlife within their respective borders, but they’re reluctant to exercise
that right against a large and influential lobby. It may also be that harm caused by a re-introduced species is a taking.
Human hunters are, as of right now, an integral component of keeping wild animals from overpopulating. If you pull the human hunters, the herd sizes will explode (since we've driven away/contained their natural predators), and many of them will starve to death.

Whatever your thoughts on hunting, it's part of the predatory/prey cycle throughout the world. It's also a not-so-distant tradition from our history that goes back millions of years.

I gather that your argument is if I don't have confidence in google's products, I shouldn't have confidence in their success as a business either. If that's correct, I think that's a reasonable argument but I'm not really concerned about whether Google as a business will fail 5+ years from today. I would honestly be shocked if they failed in less than 5 years, so I wouldn't hesitate to take their compensation.

The universal subjective human experience is that of interacting with other human beings, not all of whom are assumed to be "truth tellers". Discerning and dealing with falsehood or half-truths is the daily bread of a functioning mind.

Do you know what Velayateh Faqih, the theocratic doctrine of Ruhollah Khomeini and Iran's "Islamic Republic", means? It means 'guardianship of the learned'. According to Mr. Khomeini, your average adult Iranian is technically a "minor" that requires the "guardianship" of an "adult".

The problem with "cancel culture" is that it's so ill-defined, it's intended to match with whatever people have in their heads that they don't like. Opposing cancel culture is even less well defined. Are you saying that people shouldn't be allowed to boycott things they don't like?

They were not erased by the modern hunter, but by farmers who didn't want them eating their sheep and, in many cases, by professional wolf-killers hired by states. The renowned conservation writer Aldo Leopold's earliest work was killing bears, wolves, and mountain lions for the forest service.

Unfortunately it wasn't until we'd nearly erased wolves and grizzlies (cougars have always been too wily to be wiped out) that we decided it was actually good to keep them around. Now we've got them back--but being back, they will need to be managed, and that includes hunting. Not wanton extermination, but rather a season tailored to remove a specific number of wolves in order to reach what the state fish & wildlife department considers appropriate.
I enjoy hunting to eat deer, but yeah, I also don't get why you'd kill just to kill.

Circa 2007 I started messing with pygame. Just this week I dug up some of my old code and typed `python main.py` thinking, no way this'll work. But it did.

The first feature on the Pygame 2 page is "Backward compatibility". Pygame's been way behind the times and I'm excited to see it getting some attention. But major kudos to the team for maintaining that priority.

Absolutely good point!

I think if I were to rephrase the submitter's comment in a way that aligned with my own views and concerns, it would be:

If your intent is to put information into the world for others to share purely out of charity/a desire to help others, or to get your name out, please consider options other than Medium, as Medium is ultimately in control if whether anyone can actually gain access to the content you've produced.

If, however, as you say, one's goal is to produce and monetize content as part of a personal revenue stream, then Medium seems like as good an option as any (though, personally, I'm not a huge fan of contributing content into walled garden ecosystems where the publisher can unilaterally change the rules on a whim), and folks here complaining that stuff is behind a paywall should go find free content elsewhere.
Nice article, and congratulations for Pants v2!
What's the performance impact of dependency inference on `pants dependencies`?

Instead of just evaluating BUILD files, you also need to read every source file, if I understand correctly. I wonder how this affects performance at scale.

For comparison, users of Bazel sometimes use tools to generate/update the BUILD files when they modify a source file. You could view the BUILD file as a cache layer in that case.
I've been going through a similar, though I'm guessing milder, thing this year. I'm also not senior but here's a few things I've found very helpful:

1) Be explicit about what you can and can't do and tell your manager and team if you're comfortable doing so. I found this helpful for a few reasons. First I felt less bad for ignoring or failing at certain things because I knew I was still delivering in other areas. Second it made it easier for my manager to work around as they knew what I could handle and what they needed to pull in help for. Lastly, and most importantly, when I focused on the tasks I knew I could do I felt far more in control and my anxiety levels would go down significantly.

2) Take time off if you can. I'm fortunate in that I get a lot of sick leave and my manager encouraged me to take it. Quitting comes with a lot of stress but just having a week or two off can really help.

3) Read Feeling Good by David Burns and work through the exercises. It's a book explaining Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and I've personally found it really helpful so far.
100,000 years of human history would disagree on your pathology diagnosis. Humans have been killing for sport, for food, and for war, since before we were humans.

I think the answer is that while there is not currently a federal program, many states already do pay ranchers for animals killed by wolves.

It's not about bigger, so much as about more sudden, arbitrary, and capricious. In most companies, products which consistently don't show a profit are phased out, usually with transition paths.

At Google, products that don't show exponential growth are wack-a-moled, offloading costs on customers and dumping them on the ground.

I am not sure and am only a layperson on this (math grad school, physics undergrad) - conceptually you could think of a blue giant orbiting at 0.99c, but

a) the orbit would be so large that the actual acceleration is fairly small, or

b) the centripetal forces of a small, relativistic orbit would rip the star into pieces. In particular this would dramatically reduce the effective density of the accelerating mass.

Having enough gravitational force to retain coherent structure while accelerating quickly enough to generate gravitational waves seems like a tough circle to square.

I also came after the [valve|tube] generation but when I was a kid I similarly felt left out. So I dug out an [ECC83|12AX7] from my Dad's store room, found a high voltage PSU and hooked it up.

Hunting is a practice as old as mankind itself. And in many parts of the world, it's a tradition that's been handed down from from parents to children even today.

It also helps keep the various wild herds/packs from exploding in size, reducing the number of wild animals that die from starvation.

(Bias disclaimer: I don't hunt, but I live in a state where I'm a minority)
The article clearly states that Obama also attempted to de-list the gray wolves. The wildlife biologists and managers out there consider them safely recovered, it is primarily people in distant cities with vague warm fuzzy feelings over pictures of wolves who consider them still somehow critically endangered.
