Well, I'm not a doctor or medical professional of any sort so I honestly don't know. I was just presenting things that could lead to an apparently healthy young-ish man suddenly dropping dead for no apparent reason.

I didn't pick them totally randomly, though. I had a rationale: He seemed emaciated, which suggests something left him immobile for an extended period since he had food at hand. This made me think of strokes and snake/spider bites. The former could leave you permanently immobile, but alive. Without assistance he'd have died within a few days. The latter, depending on the sort, could leave you immobile and in great pain for a day or so, with a chance to recover and survive. But if he'd already become sufficiently dehydrated he may not have had the energy or wherewithal to care for himself.

There are other conditions which could lead to a similar outcome. Heat exhaustion, for instance, may not kill outright. But could leave you in a state where you need assistance and can't recover on your own.

Whether they'd show up on an autopsy, I don't know. But also per the article it was a while before he was found. So given a sufficient level of decay, it's possible these conditions wouldn't show up or would be sufficiently hard to detect (remember, the sheriff's didn't even want to pay $5k for the DNA testing, he wasn't a crime victim so their budget wasn't paying for a lot of analysis).
There is definitely a quantity vs quality issue in the JS world. I don't think it's fair to say JS' ecosystem is better than C#'s because it's bigger. There's a hell of a lot of shit code on NPM.
Different cities have different PU processes/responsiveness. We have established entities in multiple cities: an excellent hedge against bureaucratic gridlock, and not the first time it has been deeply useful.
why is that important?
That the difference between actual engineers and software engineers.
Number of parameters is fine when you're not trying to be sneaky with ridiculously precise constants. And it's more expressive in certain ways than a raw bit count. For general use you can impose reasonable limits, so that one parameter can't go overboard with bits. Something like a precision cap of one part per thousand and no going over a trillion.
This is true if your units under tests are bad abstractions. If you don't know yet what you will build, if your requirements change all the time, good abstractions maybe rarely emerge and then maybe unit tests make less sense.

However, I've worked on a number of applications where there were very well-defined units that were quite stable in terms of their abstraction, and then unit tests are a joy. "I have this tree structure and I need to transform it into another structure" and stuff like that.

It's also worth keeping in mind that "unit testing" doesn't have to mean "class (or method) testing". Sometimes the class is the right level of abstraction but sometimes it can also be a small module of classes working in concert etc.

I agree that tests shouldn't simply reflect implementation, but there are functional requirements that can be specified at a lower level.
Indeed.

Japan, S Korea, China, Hong Kong, and the rest of Asia operate world class rail systems. The idea that they don't care about safety is ignorant and racist.
>(c) it would involve disproportionate effort. In such a case, there shall instead be a public communication or similar measure whereby the data subjects are informed in an equally effective manner.
I wrote a quick script through Github's API, and found 10 users[1] matching the criteria:

* starred any screeps repo before May 2017, and no other screeps repo since then

* no public contributions or events since April 2017

If someone has some time to do further filtering, ensure the users have not starred any GitHub repo since May 2017

I didn't go through forks but that would also be an avenue.

As Hoare would put it in 1981,

"The first principle was security: The principle that every syntactically incorrect program should be rejected by the compiler and that every syntactically correct program should give a result or an error message that was predictable and comprehensible in terms of the source language program itself. Thus no core dumps should ever be necessary. It was logically impossible for any source language program to cause the computer to run wild, either at compile time or at run time. A consequence of this principle is that every occurrence of every subscript of every subscripted variable was on every occasion checked at run time against both the upper and the lower declared bounds of the array. Many years later we asked our customers whether they wished us to provide an option to switch off these checks in the interests of efficiency on production runs. Unanimously, they urged us not to--they already knew how frequently subscript errors occur on production runs where failure to detect them could be disastrous. I note with fear and horror that even in 1980, language designers and users have not learned this lesson. In any respectable branch of engineering, failure to observe such elementary pre- cautions would have long been against the law."

I guess in IT one needs a couple of decades to be proven right.
Or, we can focus on automated garbage sorting. It shouldn't matter which bin you toss something into, it should all be automatically handled the best way for whatever material it's made from.

Increasing CRV disproportionately impacts people with less economic stability than others. Many of us here on HN probably wouldn't miss $0.50, at least enough to be compelled to take the time to properly sort our garbage 100% of the time.

Plastic floats, glass and metal sinks. Shred everything and separate it. Machines already exist like this - but everyone wants to focus on compelling human behavior to be a certain way instead of just removing that hurdle completely, which would be better for everyone involved.
For reference, the Stihl chainsaw I just purchased had a 50:1 gasoline to oil mix. That is 2%, of course there are probably 25:1 or 20:1 engines out there as well.

There's no reason to ban single-use plastic or even multi-use plastic as long as your electricity infrastructure contains oil plants or gas burner plants.

Simply burn the plastic waste.

You can reclaim more than 90% of the energy, and you're simply offsetting the use of power plants that burn the oil directly. If you instead use the oil to produce plastic, use the plastic for something good, and then burn it, you've gained more use out of it than you normally would, and you're co2-neutral.
The market disagrees with you. Any one of the GAFAMs is worth more than all the ISPs in the US put together. And that's with those ISPs largely being conglomerates that own other businesses outside of being an ISP.
lmao, I want to know how the incident response was. Can't find an article on that. The indictments make it seem like the authorities immediately laughed and charged them both.
That thing was very clearly a hybrid - SGI's graphics stuff glommed force-ably onto NT. I remember trying to get PC code to work on it and basic stuff definitely didn't work. Probably it worked better the other way around (SGI app -> visual workstation NT). I never tried that though.
If they're that short, they basically do, to be honest.
One of the bots in /r/SubredditSimulator was the "top today" bot, which would just take the top 500 posts from /r/all in the last 24 hours, pick one of the links at random, and repost it with a gibberish title made from a markov chain of those 500 posts' titles. With such a small set of input, the titles almost never made any sense at all.

I had to shut that bot down, because eventually just reposting a random popular meme/image from the last 24 hours with a nonsensical title started becoming far too successful and it ended up getting 2,648,254 post karma, while often getting its own posts near the top of /r/all: https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditSimMeta/comments/c5besk/th...
Upper management's job is to manage. Being "convinced" of something, means they did their job, made a judgement and management call, but got it wrong.

That's their fault too.

It's also the fault of other employees, who did not speak up. You're painting a picture of everyone being incapable of judging things on their own, because someone talked them out of what they knew to be correct.

Who's fault is that?

How long would they remain detectable by an autopsy in a county that didn't even want to spend $5k on DNA testing? How long was the body decaying before discovered. I do agree about the necrotizing venoms. But consider a black widow. You could be incapacitated, rendered helpless for a day or so, and become sufficiently dehydrated to be essentially delirious after recovering from the bite proper. That would leave you in a state that, without assistance, you'd not die from the bite, but from starvation/dehydration several days later. How long is the toxin in the body?
Well there could hurt their pride to miss the deadline. They might have an internal metric for this too.
I thought the same thing when they mentioned he was emaciated with food near by. I would rather die doing something enjoyable than sitting at a desk at work, so maybe a terminal diagnosis prompted his trek. I would assume they would have found most health issues in an autopsy, unless maybe it was something very unusual or difficult to identify after decomposition.
The best business move they could make against the competition giants, is to ask people like Dave Shah and Clifford Wolfe to just organize a single team under a foundation umbrella and then make a large annual donation, plus technical support/documentation where needed.

If Lattice disrupts the market as de facto enablers of an LLVM of sorts for FPGA's they will make a lot of clients think twice for their next projects.

It doesn't matter how much IP secret sauce Xilinx or Altera have in their fabric, every single team out there hates the locked in toolchain and is slowed down by it in a non-negligible way.

In my opinion this is the type of bold move that could flip the market share upside down in favour of Lattice.

That is also entirely possible... I have seen some specific statements regarding my assertion. It's entirely possible to be either, both or a mix.

In any case, I'm using FB and Twitter far less these days than even a couple years ago. I happen to like debate, and discussion of competing ideas. Now it's all ad hominem attacks and vitriol. While I do sometimes engage, I simply don't enjoy it and don't fit well into the echo chambers.
Very nice. I also had a box PC for a while, until my old man made me get rid of it as a fire hazard.
In the valley it has been nearly continuously elevated AQI since the lightning strikes in late August. There were a few weeks without. But these are particles --- not gas, so your lungs don't expel it once the particles impact and embed in your tissues. The body doesn't really have a way to clean that out that I'm aware of (I'd like to learn that I'm wrong). As an endurance athlete, I move a lot of air, and I want my lungs to be in good shape.
I was meeting the performance constraints of doing software in MS-DOS with Turbo Pascal.
Talk to them and see what they want? Make a decision about what to do after you know what you have to decide about?

What kind of answers are you expecting?
It's not just that the article misunderstands that unit tests are easier to maintain (if well written at least), but they also don't seem to discuss the problem of combinatorial explosion that plagues end-to-end tests.

There are only two ways of avoiding that problem: ignoring it and simply give up on comprehensive testing, or realise that comprehensive testing can only be done by writing mostly unit tests.
having garbage trucks that come reliably costs money and infrastructure that often isn't there.

Check out the Ocean Cleanup Project, it definitely cannot be the only solution, but it is one solution towards reducing ocean plastic. I know it seems crazy daunting, and even impossible, but they are excited and entrepreneurial so I support their efforts to help the problem.

I'm especially excited about their Rivers[1] project, and their recent sunglasses[2] made from plastic they removed from the Pacific ocean (worth noting, only 95% of the product is recycled from the ocean).

Disclaimer: No affiliation, but I like what they do, have donated in the past, and just bought 2 pairs of their sunglasses.

Right, I did mean obscure/non-mainstream. Thanks for the correction.
To be clear, nobody in the US is dumping plastic into the ocean.

The article states clearly it's other nations dumping or losing US garbage, that they purchased with intent to do something with, that is the main culprit. That and fishing and shipping equipment that is thrown or lost overboard.

I'm actually unsure what these recycling centers do with the collected bottles. Maybe they sell the material to companies that will recycle it into new objects, or at least dispose of it in designated areas where it will not impact the environment. Either way, it's the "designated, government sanctioned" way to recycle these bottles. Tossing them into your recycle bin doesn't redeem the CRV for the individual.
My 89 year old mother loves to tell the story of her brother and friends spending several hours getting whatever body part they could push through the shoe slot below to be reported on how it looks by another child looking through the scope at the top. They were very disappointed that my uncle's head couldn't fit so they could examine his brain, (which they always figured had some bats in it)
Thanks for the response. Lots of really good points.

In a vacuum, I'm actually totally fine with either option (public transportation or cars) and not particularly married to see either one built or against either one being built and both have their utility. Personally, I think both need to be built. My main concern is really about who is going to pay for it.

Such projects really disproportionately benefits those that will be commuting into and out of Seattle and those people in Seattle that live in parts of the city where they don't have parking and are likely to live near a station.

I'm a huge proponent of people paying for those services they use and for services to be financially self sustaining.

People who take the train should fund the train. People who drive cars should fund the roads and the DMV.

Furthermore, the same argument for greater throughput of a system should also support the argument that such a system should generate greater revenue and be naturally self sustaining. But for this to be true, all calculations shouldn't be based on theoretical limits but actual predictions of how many more people will be moved per hour per direction and that needs to be compared to the revenues and the costs to figure out if the current design of the system is sustainable (a lesser more modest design might be warranted once faced with the reality of how many riders are actually expected).

> It's worth noting that this figure is not qualified by how much road projects cost per road user, because this is not meant to be a comparative talking point. Roading projects are just as expensive, if not more due to higher land requirements; yet they are not scrutinized to the same degree.

They should get the same scrutiny. One proposed system getting this scrutiny isn't an argument that neither should get the same scrutiny.

> The SR 99 tunnel we just built cost $3.2B for two lanes in each direction with no exits.

And it has tolls, but the tolls should probably be 3x higher than they currently are. Every system, roads or rail, should pay for itself. Any system that isn't priced appropriately is distorting the market and making it harder to figure out the true cost and plan effectively.

One thing I would love to see adopted in the US is a public transportation tolling system like they have in Japan where you pay for distance traveled and the cost of your commute in general.

In the interest of stating my biases, personally, I purchased a home in a part of Seattle that is unlikely to ever see much if any benefit from a subway system. I'm familiar with the geotechnical concerns where I live and the only public transportation which will ever serve my home and my neighborhood is likely to be a bus (this is not too dissimilar to the reason why Beacon Hill will also not benefit). I am, however, in favor of buses and would also like to see investment long term in smart streets that provide a foundation of an autonomous vehicle system.

Lastly, thanks for engaging in good faith discussion unlike other commenters here.
Can anyone explain what a zero-day vulnerability is? What's the difference between zero-day and non-zero-day vulnerabilities? I'm not getting much out of wikipedia.
I had used similar data to speculate on the minimum number of people needed to move from the cities to the various counties in order to make the whole country a single party, in theory. A reality is that one party has the numbers of people necessary while the other does not.

I was curious to how much that would cost so it would be clear whether a super PAC could fund it. It would involve housing people long enough to be eligible to be registered in that state.

But then the pandemic happened and people did it on their own. We'll see!
Regarding Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, Montenegrin (done in order of population size)... native speaker here. These are four names for one and the same language - in a sense that American, Canadian, British, and Australian are the same language. What one says they speak is usually indicative of the nationality they choose to belong to. Those that say they speak Serbo-Croatian are usually those that in some sense identify as Yugoslavian or "undeclared" with respect to nationality. Curiously, Yugoslavian (meaning south slavic) as a language never officially existed, although this would probably best describe it.

In ex-Yugoslavia there is a rather pronounced distinction between citizenship and nationality. In Bosnia and Herzegovina (BH) this distinction is actually enshrined into the constitution. Moreover, in BH all official documents must be translated into 3 constituent languages. As a funny example of this see how cigarette packets look in BH [1]. In all three instances they say exactly the same thing. NOTE: Cyrillic alphabet, as used in Serbia, has an isomorphic relationship to the Croatian latin alphabet (this same latin alphabet is official in the Serbian "language" too, although it is not called Croatian). To get an entertaining idea about how complicated things are in BH see [2] or [3].

That's enough for me to decide the experience isn't on par with a flagship Android or iPhone - but that's not what it's trying to be.
