I agree that a stable family is the ideal but I fail to see how spending your money on sex dolls is worse than getting divorced in your late 20s or early 30s and getting stuck paying for kids for a decade or more. Those people manage just fine.
Why did pollsters do so badly? The shy trump voter hypothesis doesn’t seem compelling to me.
Try with `vim -u NONE` to ignore your .vimrc .

If the buffer is “asdf jkl” with your cursor at the beginning of the line, after dw the buffer is “jkl”. With the same starting buffer, after cw, the buffer is “ jkl”, with a space at the beginning (which is the same behavior as ce).

This “inconsistent” behavior is probably what you usually want, but it does indeed break the invariant that c<motion> is equivalent to d<motion>i .
> The masks worn by the the public contain no meltblown

There are actual respirators available through retail and online channels and they do contain meltblown, e.g. 3M 6200 with 3M 2135 filters. Most people won't need single use PPE, and most people won't need respirators, which is why they are available.

Regular masks are not BS, they are source control. Considering that significant number of transmissions occurs before symptom onset, everyone should wear one when interacting with strangers. It's one of the cheapest pandemic control measures available.
Not all of those will be the new strain. The regular strain seems to be capable of infecting minks on its own, where it wreaks havoc on the tightly packed population. The problem is that this adds an entirely different evolutionary pressure that can result in a markedly different virus, which in the worst case can jump back to humans.

This is that worst case.
The Cory Doctorow book "Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom" (readable for free online) captures the duality of Disney very well.

On one hand, it produces brilliant, creative, high quality work, and makes it accessible to everyone. On the other hand, it's quite willing to destroy everyone else's work in order to ensure it stays on top.
Thanks! Fixed both!
tax protestors are loonies.

tax resisters are sometimes also loonies, but very much more respectably so as a general rule, and not prone to legal cosplay.

“i don’t have to pay taxes because that flag has tassels” is much, much less charming than “i keep my net worth well below the poverty line by choice because i don’t want to fund your horrid wars”.

I respect the latter.
The book of the same title is terrific and highly recommend.

SwiftUI for React Developers
The US is in a double bind. Not only does the Thucydides Trap loom, but the Wolfowitz Doctrine is shepherding US thought into a trap too.

My earlier calculations indicated a US-instigated* conflict with China in the Spring-Summer campaign season of 2020. That time has passed. Unless there is a policy U-turn, I see a conflict breaking out at almost any time forward.

* Why 'US-instigated'?

China is advancing steadily, with a higher rate of GDP growth than the US. It has no need for conflict. In fact, conflict would 'get in the way' and actually slow down its advance. Arithmetically speaking, China becoming 'Number One' is a certainty. On the other hand, US must specifically act to prevent China's rise, or the US will be relegated to an 'also ran'.
No. Units is about dimensional analysis and unit conversions (eg 1 inch = 2.54cm) but this is about defying algebraic data types (eg a scheme is http or https; a host name is a non-empty list of strings; a uri is a scheme and a host name and a path and a query and an anchor)
> It's the same learning burden as any other icon for most people

I disagree. Good icons are things that almost everyone in the world has seen before.
Exactly. A minister (etc) can certainly say "Dancing (or whatever) is a grave sin and so we must avoid it ourselves and work to keep it out of our community." Stuff like this is protected as Free (Religious) Exercise clause and it should be.

It may so happen that only one candidate vehemently opposes dancing, and as long as they don't make that connection out loud, it stays on the level.
I agree! I don't know how all this works, I just had a related thought pop into my head.
> The average single man (emphasis added) paying attention to contemporary social fashions will struggle to understand the new rules of meeting, courting, or having sex with women. Something as banal as trying to converse with a woman wearing headphones is now often considered harassment. A man’s chances of mating success increase when he approaches many women, but so too do his chances of a gaining reputation as sexist, exploitative, or immoral. To take a fraught example, how does a man know that a woman is genuinely consenting to sex? A lack of ability to pick up on cues can incur catastrophic costs.

I don't buy this. Social norms are a product of the group to which the apply. In this passage, that group is "all single people". For argument's sake, lets say heterosexual men make up 40% of that group. The author's claiming that a typical member of that subgroup will not understand the rules? This seems like an extraordinary claim, and I'd really need to see evidence of such a thing happening any time in the past to believe it is plausible.
I still do not get it. 12 people have a decreased sensitivity to which antibodies? - some specific antibodies or antibodies in general? Which vaccine (or all of them)? Provided sources are vague about this.

> Immigration to a new country is a whole lot more onerous than just moving to a different state.

Not within the EU. It's not quite as easy as moving between US states but it's not far off.
Am the furtherest from being an expert, so many caveats:

TIL Wikipedia seems to agree with your assessment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbine_High_School_massacre...

My understanding has long been the FBI profilers determined that spree shooters are begging for help, hoping someone will stop them. I'm pretty sure I got this from interviews in the movie Bowling for Columbine.

So it'd make sense to be alert for warning signs. Like most everything, all the well intentioned anti bullying measures were implemented terribly by noobs and proved counter productive.

But mostly, no one bothered to check to see if any of the remedies were helping.

Well, some measures are known failures. Like zero tolerance policies.

This is a recurring theme. DARE boosted drug use. Promoting abstinence boosted teenage pregnancy. Aggressive pain management led to opioid epidemic. Etc.

Lather, rinse, repeat.
Air pollution connected to higher Covid-19 death rates
that's a bit of a stretch. more like "here's an example of something that animals do that most would consider dumb, it turns out that humans actually do something similar"
The localStorage and indexeddb limits will also apply (10MB and 50MB on Chrome).
This is a pretty flimsy article. Fine for someone's random blog post, but it's a good bit of amateur philosophizing, substituting citation word association with actual causal (or even correlative) connections.

People have been having sex with inanimate (and sometimes animate but non-human) objects since forever. The focus on men and their ability to get off without another human present is a little weird, as vibrators and dildos (not to mention just plain old masturbation) are extremely popular with women.

I'd say any changes in human relationships, child count, "incel" behavior, etc have less to do with the availability of a solo orgasm and much more to do with technological, social and economic changes. If you can have fulfilling social relationships online without leaving the house, a lot of people are going to end up struggling (in motivation and skill) to strike up relationships in the real world.

What's left of this is just spinning a scifi story from a "what if" premise, and that's already been done a lot better elsewhere (DON'T DATE ROBOTS! [1]).

What are algebraic data-types good for? From another comment here they enable you to declare things like "this field could contain a string or an integer".

Would it make more sense to make the field be always integer or always string? Then you would have two separate data-types and you could use the one you need when you need to?

You can always convert an integer to string if needed, and vice versa.

I can understand it gives you more flexibility that you can specify something MAY be either X or Y. But that makes the data-type specification more complicated. If you can do with X only why not just stick to it? Define the API to accept only integers and require a caller who has a string to first convert it to integer.
There aren't enough of those. We're already well past the point where icons are completely inscrutable, even in applications intended solely for a monolingual user base.
How about when the new powerful tools help get rid of some of them due to productivity gain?
That, too, of course. There's a reason every time I've seen an American abroad ask a question about filing taxes that the answer is literally always "You need to find yourself a specialist accountant to help you with this."
MacBook Pro isn't keeping their Intel CPUs. Apple officially announced a change to 'Apple Silicon' for Mac a few months ago.
Why would we expect the employment structure of an empire to be more fragmented than the employment structure of a village? The whole idea of an empire is large-scale cooperation.
Church is different in that (as far as internal logic goes) adherence/non-adherence to their dictates involves a credible claim to the fate of your immortal soul. It's a little bit different from other book clubs.
This FAQ is... a lot more detailed than I expected. Actually a pretty interesting read even if you don't care about tax protestors per se. Digs into everything from history of federal taxation powers to how individual laws are codified into the United States Code.

My favorite of the particularly frivolous arguments: the IRS code refers to "taxpayers", and if you refuse to pay tax, you are literally not a tax payer, and therefore the code doesn't apply to you.
The title is clickbait. This is the quote that says it all:

"The commission said on Wednesday that it was “not intending for private conversations at the dinner table to be prosecuted as hate speech”, although that appears to be one possible consequence of the proposed change."
I don't think any of these apps have had a meaningful influence.

For kids with rich parents, dating was always easy. And for those in an unlucky economic situation, mating success is still out of reach, despite all the apps.

The only thing that's really easier on those apps is fraud, like using photoshopped photos, AI filters, and made up awards.
Treating slaves decently law doesn't hinder you in post slave world.

Employment classifications are a hindrance whether the state is footing the safety net bill or not.
Google became a multi-billion dollar international corporation hosting the same content you advocate against, whether through search results or youtube directly. And now that they have the money and the power, they're crushing all dissent - even dissent that they got rich hosting - all while having a revolving door between the government. There is no such thing as "hate-speech", but we both understand what you mean. You just can't stop the deflection and deceit.
Do they need to? The point of FOSS isn't to get freebies from big corporations. It's so that software remains in the hands of the users. If Amazon doesn't contribute back, or if they fork it, that's fine, because RabbitMQ will always be there.
I guess (I'm no expert) we would want a little of both: A blind, Niacin trial that is not placebo controlled AND a Placebo controlled but not blind trial? I wonder what Tim Ferriss has gotten up to recently on this...
This would be a nice upgrade for an older server. Older Dell and HP servers can host piles of storage and ram; they can make great workstation bargains, but you need to add a GPU. The Intel Xe could be a way to do that without much power draw.
I guess the other way to explicitly force people to sign up with a credit card. I would guess this mechanism, asking you if you are willing to pay is better that asking you to PROVE you are willing to pay by starting a free trial with a credit card.
If you buy someone something because you want them to have that thing, that's in no way a subsidy of a different entity you tried and failed to force to buy it.
There is an aarch64 branch in AsmJit project that provides an experimental AArch64 backend. It's pretty complete.

Having a platform independent IR in AsmJit is not planned. AsmJit is more about control and ISA completeness. IR could of course be implemented on top of AsmJit, but it seems nobody really needed that so far - users that need complex IR can use LLVM and users that want something really simple can use SLJIT. AsmJit is just in a different category and it has a lot of useful features considering its size.

So at least having half of them scrutable is surely better than forcing the entire world to learn Chinese.
I second this. In my limited experience (2 at universities) they are frequently run by very well meaning and very incompetent folks. Like really incompetent, from storing cleartext passwords to messing up simple payments. My 2c.

Sounds like an informed consent nightmare. How could this even happen? This wasn't even close to my area of legal practice though so it's I guess possible for there to be some sort of workaround.

What Day of the Dead tells us about the Aztec philosophy of happiness
As usual, it depends. I've ported code between i386 (32-bit, Linux) and POWER (64-bit, big endian, AIX) and it wasn't "very ugly." Yeah, we had some longs that should've been int32_t's but it was hardly rocket science. We missed a few conversions to network byte order, but again, not difficult to fix.
Speaking for myself here. Although my wife (whose family is frighteningly right-wing and conservative; she's coming around) generally disapproves (but, she's almost always wrong identifying my mental state based on my outward behavior), I try to smoke some weed (homegrown, and quite potent) on a daily basis. Works for me. Speaking of pipe dreams.. :)

Also, there are vast warehouses all over the place, full of Transcendental Meditation proponents praying for world peace, flying around with their legs crossed using only the power of their minds. Look it up.
From wikipedia on Psilocybe cubensis:

"The concentrations of psilocin and psilocybin, as determined by high-performance liquid chromatography, are in the range of 0.14–0.42% and 0.37–1.30% (dry weight) in the whole mushroom"

My napkin math: 20mg is equivalent to roughly between 1.1g to 3.9g of dry weight (lots of variance in potency). This weight range is roughly equivalent to typical recreational dosages.
I always get the wrong items from Walmart shipping. I get items I didn’t order. I don’t bother filing a complaint, because I have to wait on their phone line to talk with customer service. Bleh.

Same goes for Target. I sometimes get incorrect products from them.

Amazon has been much better in product accuracy. But I get leery at buying certain items from Amazon, especially if it has a high probability for defects or counterfeits.

Psychedelics have been researched since the 1960s, despite formidable legal obstacles. I'm not sure how much more "careful" you want them to be.
As someone who used to suffer from chronic depression, that's simply not true. Treatment is difficult, and pills are the easiest solution, but claiming they're the "only hope" is bordering on industry propaganda.
Suppose I have an `Order` object with a `paymentDetails` property.

Since I accept payments from Paypal, Bitcoin and Credit Cards , the `paymentDetails` object may need to have the following shape:

Order {
paymentDetails: payPalTransactionId | bitcoinWalletAddress | creditCardPayment
}

And we can keep going further, where `creditCardPayment` is:

CreditCardPayment {
number: string
expiry_month: string
expiry_year: string
cvv: string
}

So having a type system that can say "this property could be of this type OR this type OR this type" is useful when you can't model all your data into one type like int or string
Please, let's not try this for another couple of years. Maybe 2025.

These scriptures don't condemn slavery, polygamy, etc yet they're supposedly authored (however indirectly) by a perfectly moral, all powerful being.

In fact they demand women submit to husbands unconditionally, never teach men, not speak up during gatherings, rarely inherit property, and from time to time act as the spoils of war.

Modern Christian understanding varies, but even the most progressive is still founded on appeals to an authority who claims should not be tested.
Don't forget Mexico back in 1940, although only for 6 months due to the US shutting off supplies of the drugs and the war preventing them from finding alternative suppliers:

When I tried to find the Borderland Beat article where I first heard of this I found that the site has been closed due to (as best I can find with the site's own explanation no longer up) a lawsuit by a drug lord whose California driver's license was published on the site. Huge loss and I hope they get the site back eventually.

I did find one article I was looking for on the Internet Archive if anyone is interested, although the above is a much better link on just the legalization aspect (this one is mostly about one of the illegal drug trafficers affected). I think BB had another article on the legalization but I can't find a link to that one. As one might expect, the comments on BB tend to be more extreme than many sites in various ways.

It's worth noting the study here involved long sessions of psychotherapy. This was not a study where they just gave them LSD and let them at it. The idea as I understand it is that the psilocybin makes it easier for one to integrate the work happening in therapy.

Of course, it's a very small sample size (as seems to be true with many of these studies) and appears to have lacked a control, although maybe I missed it.
Can you explain why a surveillance state in the US would not care about what people say at home? A surveillance state able to collect this data (and we're virtually there) would absolutely care, regardless of the country.
Would we know if this mutated coronavirus is already spreading in the community (in Denmark+Europe+beyond)? Do we have that type of surveillance?
"Can be sidestepped" is a far cry from "average users can do this," you know.
i always thought "tail call" means a function call that can be optimized in this way (located in a tail position), not the act of call-by-jumping itself. both uses make sense though

re: C--, i think it's mostly used as a compiler IR. (notably in Haskell's GHC)
I mostly do iOS work, and I find ADTs useful for representing UI state machines.

For example, if I have a view controller (screen) that async loads data, I can have an enum State (in Swift enums have associated values), with the following cases:

- An initial state with nothing
- A loading state that contains the associated Promise that represents the network request (which I can cancel)
- A fully-loaded state with the data model I got back from the network
- An error state containing an error object I can display to the user

Also, the most common use case for an ADT in Swift is representing Optional, which is when you have a nullable object.

ADTs allow you to more bring more of your problem domain into the compiler, which reduces the number of places you need to shim your models.
