We used to catch yellow/adult eels in the river at home fairly regularly growing up. Anytime you were after catfish, you'd occasionally catch them. They're quite tasty! I can definitely see why they'd be considered valuable.

Sadly, they're a lot more rare now. I don't recall the last time I saw one... It's probably been 20 years... From what I understand, the American eel population started coming under intense commercial fishing pressure in the 90's and especially after 2011, when the tsunami from the Tohoku earthquake essentially wiped out the Japanese commercial eel fishing industry. Couple that with the KY lake dam we're behind, and a lot fewer make it into the rivers at home. (The dam does have locks and fish ladders, but it's a significant barrier.)

It was always wild to me to see them and know it was a fish that had migrated from the Atlantic ocean, into the gulf, up the Mississippi, around a large dam, and made it to middle TN.
A surprising number of Americans seem to think it's reasonable to tax non-residents, so such legislation may be hard to get passed.

I think the previous comment refers to player (human) balance. Not in game unit balance.

You know Elo rating, as in chess? Something like that is needed in order to match players against each other.

An online multi-player game that fails the matchmaker system, will lose players eventually. Because if you match the newcomers with seasoned pros, everyone will be unhappy and churn rates will be high.

Maybe GitHub should add an optional "Thanks" feedback channel, perhaps also include a place where users can submit success stories about their use of the given project. This could fill the role of a channel to express gratitude, and provide a place where prospective users could see how others have utilized the project successfully in the real world.
Another positive variation of saying thanks is bringing to attention a great feature of a tool. The authors of the tool might not be aware at how impactful a feature is and if something like that gets enough upvotes / love then it could help prevent regressions or the feature disappearing at a later point in time. It also lets the authors know you care (see the first reply below).

I'm struck that the commission directors proceeded despite the ample evidence they knew would surface should the corrupt firing be contested. It seems that don't fear personal consequences for their actions. Disposing of limited liability or significantly weakening it seems necessary.
Hahah. Ha. Oh.

I think that we (I include myself) are so wrapped up in our own struggles that we often fail to do the simplest things. Yes, one can't live on "thanks" alone, but we should offer gratitude more often.

Early on in the pandemic I was convinced that the US economy was going to have an extremely tough year, and I placed options bets accordingly that were absolutely slaughtered.

By July I realized a couple things (and adjusted my investments accordingly):

1) The shifts to online delivery of food and products was 10 years of change pulled forward in 6 months

2) Unprecedented liquidity of the money supply is giving any individual or business access to $$ to invest, spend, etc. It's unequal, but it's there and it's driving the economy right now.

3) We're witnessing one of the greatest wealth transfers in the history of our country, from the less fortunate to those with means, from stagnant businesses holding on to dear life to the quick and nimble, and from the legacy businesses to the already prepared distribution channels.

4) The fundamental shift of where people work has been upended, resulting in massive dislocation of where dollars flow to residential and commercial real estate.

Those that study economics must have thought they stumbled into a gold mine of topics to study this year. It's absolutely fascinating and heartbreaking at the same time.

I had the exact thing happen to me (pre—pandemic). I complained pretty extensively to the test sponsor and the proctoring organization, as that (and a few other "rules") weren't written down anywhere.

I didn't get anywhere but I'd still encourage you to do the same. If no one explains the problems with these tests to the people paying for them (the teachers, department chairs and employers) than they wont know what's going on either.
And it doesn't help that popular sources are perfectly happy to just call things AI or RL and leave it at that. The popular discourse around AI sometimes sounds like "How do computers work?

Many of my friends and family on Facebook don't realize that if they comment on a public group posting then their comment is surfaced to all their friends. I know this because they often reveal political, religious or sexual ideas that they are not in the habit of broadcasting to their friends. "Privacy Zuckering" is an awkward term for this, but it'll do for now.
> I know of several friends who have caught it from young children in school settings

I guess there’s no way for them to be certain. But I’ve been wondering if we’ve been too quick to believe that kids are less susceptible to Covid or the virus that causes it.

Imagine that children do contract it as regularly as adults, but are usually asymptomatic. No symptoms = no suspicion = no reason for them to be tested.

Kids not being tested regularly could be the reason why we believe “they don’t get it”. I fear we’ve come to an unsound and dangerous conclusion on this. And I think it’s partly due to the way we confounded the variables when we shut schools in spring. Closed schools probably helped keep kid cases down at first. And from there we leaped to “kids don’t get it”.

Meanwhile, the CDC has published more data on that shows kids do transmit. But their updates seem to have a hard time breaking through the noise. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6939e2.htm

Same with their update last week to acknowledge that Covid is mainly airborne. How many are now aware of this? Checking air ventilation? Or still focused on surface wipedowns? https://twitter.com/first10em/status/1341121947682418691?s=2...

> I can count on zero fingers the number of times I've used an exclamation mark professionally.

You probably come off as a bit stiff then.

Of course, in formal documents, you never use it, but in person-to-person communication in 2020, you use it about once in any email or text as a softener.

"Good to see you the other day! [...] Let's do this."

Or the exclamation mark comes at the end, which might be a bit too much for me.

This has been the habit for a couple of decades now...

Yeah, just don't speak near any cell phones since many ideas have been stolen from people that spoke out loud when big brother and high end elites that have money can rob the little man of his ideas. What a world we live in now.
> Speech is not merely a conduit for the transmission of ideas, [...] but a generative activity that enhances thinking.

Maybe. Speech does make an idea more concrete. But is the spoken formulation of an idea persistent enough that you can examine it closely from multiple angles and depths to fully assess its validity? Even the written word often lacks the precision needed to ensure that the necessity, sufficiency, and incontrovertibility of an idea has been addressed in full. An idea spoken aloud is but writ on the wind.

When talking to myself, I often find I'm focusing on the best single view on my pet notion, embellishing its strengths rather than demerits. I need the means to formulate a more tangible formula, like a written bulleted list of plusses and minuses. Only then am I likely to reveal and redress the chinks in my idea's armor. And speaking to myself aloud won't do that.

Hey! Yeah currently, the swing simply generates a static HTML file, composed of the various files in the swing, and then renders that in the preview window. As you type in the editor, it tries to “intelligently” update that specific file, and re-render the preview window.

Starting a server that serves the static HTML wouldn’t be too difficult, so I might think that through a bit. As you said, that would enable validation with Firefox, which would be really cool.
Don't! An email or text without a single exclamation mark in it is seen as distant and impersonal in 2020.

Right - but no risk of that here because:
1. You've already struggled with the amorphity by the time you vocalized it. So you're not missing it.
2. If you over-simplify it, you'll just not find a solution, so you know.
i do not. i manually manage these routes all by myself using systemd-networkd... these routes are respected but the via address is ignored nonetheless. to repeat myself, the via part of the route is not considered; i even double checked this by reading the code and furthermore did a PoC if it could be done. as soon as the route hits the interface the packets get routed according to the AllowedIPs setting regardless of any via address set on that route. If you are inclined enough to do so you can try it yourself. set it to a non existing address and you will see it will be routed regardless... or even set it to the address of an existing peer that has it set in its AllowedIPs setting and you will notice the peer that has the packets destination set as AllowedIPs setting will get the packets. which makes some sense as return traffic would only be allowed to come from that peer anyhow. i.e. for incoming packets the routing table is not even considered at all (analog to reverse path filtering).
Also you cannot deduce from "person thinks they are skilled" to "person is not skilled".

But it is useful to think about this for our personal growth. There are many psychological traps and challenges that can slow down progress or even halt it.

The problems with tracking, generally:

Are you sure that, should your advertising profile (i.e. all the sites you browse) fall into the hands of your health insurer, employer, government or even friends, it wouldn't cause trouble for you?

Do you trust a bunch of data brokers that arent even public (with the exception of Google and Facebook) to keep your data confidential?

And ad related:

In the hands of competent advertisers, your profile can be used to manipulate you. Not only to buy shiny stuff you don't want, but also, for example, politically.

In the hands of incompetent advertisers or MACHINE LEARNING! (tm), you get the annoying features like being bombarded with TV ads when you just bought a new TV last week and won't need another earlier than in 5 years. Or being offered stuff you really don't care about but some algorithm thinks it's related.

And one little privacy issue: what targeted ads display can give out information about you that you don't want made public to people who may see your screen. The example of the pregnant girl who began getting coupons for stuff for new mothers while hiding from her family that she's pregnant has been mentioned on this page.

And last but not least:

Do you want to live in a world where you'll only be presented with content you're sure to like? Because they can only be sure you'll like it if you've seen it before and reacted positively to it, which means that after a while you'll stop seeing anything new.
Almost all its outputs are original, based on ngram filtering. It can be original because at each token there is a stochastic step.

But if you mean by original to invent a whole new genre, or completely new esthetics, I agree, it's out of its scope. It is a great interpolator.

Good reply. This is a cost of US citizenship and you are not forced to acquire citizenship. You could get permanent residency. I had to make this choice and chose citizenship 15 years ago. It’s a hell of a thing swearing that you’ll bear arms to defend a country you weren’t born in.

I have had many occasions to feel glad that I did. From military base tours to easier to entry/exit to Canada to buying a house or getting a loan. It generally makes paperwork much easier in this country and opens up a few doors.

If you think the tax filing requirement is a big deal, consider the restrictions and obligations that other countries have. Compulsory military service, restrictions on moving money, etc.
This makes sense you are right. Voting rights never even came to my mind.
I think you are underestimating the difficulty of the problem. The interactions between all the stats you listed can’t be distilled to to a single number. For example maybe a very slow but powerful unit gets a normal score, but when paired with fast units to protect it from getting kited becomes unstoppable.

A contrived example obviously, but you really do have to see how the units interact with all other units, and how players actually use them, balancing damage etc is not enough.
As a maintainer “thanks” is actually pretty common.

Whenever I find a really cool open source software that helps me and is made by individuals without some big company sponsorship, I try to reach out, say thanks and send them some beer money.

You'd have to overcome the drag of that array. At a rough estimate at 1 KW / square meter for half the day it wouldn't be worth it unless you added a way for it to be pulled in at night (which is going to be pretty hard to do with solar panels which are quite fragile).

On top of that, the ocean is about as hostile an environment as you could wish for and it wouldn't work anywhere near busy shipping lanes.

Creative idea though, I haven't seen it before.
The stock market is turning more and more into a casino. Investing is being gamified causing an addiction that is similar to what you see with gambling addicts. People just can't stop putting their money on risky bets in order get an adrenaline kick.

Brokers are also incentivized to sell risky products such as options as those are the ones that generate the highest revenues.
The knowledge you need to come up with the score is the same knowledge you need to balance the game. Just because
you’ve devised a simple sounding deliverable doesn’t
mean the problem is simple.

The whole challenge of balancing a game is that you’re forever wrong about that score.

Underestimating the score of a single unit (or a more complex combo of multiple units) is precisely how you accidentally create an imbalanced metagame where that unit/combo can be spammed.
How about a million dollar fine then? Is that excessive?

I understand the wonder, this is not some kind of magic that will help us solve all SQL issues. That's way too hard. This is a development tool that helps write and read SQL code. So simply saves development time by automating the easy stuff, leaving the hard and important stuff for us to deal with. It is different from other formatters that it lints code inside Python strings. For some context, I am a data engineer and I write a lot of SQL code inside Python code (in the future it should support other programming languages as well).

However, the tool might suggest improvements on SQL code in the future
Also I have to admit I take a lot of pride in thanks on SO questions I have answered and projects I maintain.

It’s also a big contrast to the toxic micro celebritism culture we often have.
>> Depends, if the central bank can keep to inflate its balance sheet and absorb most of the additional debt of corporations and the public without creating inflation then nobody will actually have to pay

Just wondering how is it possible for them to do this without raising inflation. Simply allocating all the debt on their balance sheet means they have erased the debts of the corps/public by increasing the money circulation isn't it? Then inflation will happen?
The problem is there is no better. Countries,names and organisations may differ, but it's more or less the same everywhere

Some people are pointing out how rare it is for GitHubbers to express gratitude, but GitHub doesn't exactly encourage it. Doesn't it feel inappropriate to express gratitude as an "issue"? Maybe if there was a natural place for these messages they'd be sent more often. To the extent that there are affordances for it (stars, emojis) it is actually quite popular to praise good work on GitHub.
I've found the 'heart' emoji on Github to be incredibly useful and also always a bit surprising. I'm taken aback by the expression of humanity alongside dry technical try-not-to-waste-someone's-time mumbo jumbo. But how else to express gratitude for someone being willing to volunteer their time on the never ending upgrade treadmill and long tail of bugs that haunt popular software?
Yeah, it's just annoying to me because you have to wait for the pop-up.

Whales have a large vocabulary, large brains, social structures, and extremely old ages. Many simpler animals communicate dangers, some even have particular words for humans. It's entirely reasonable that whales might have learned at some point that whaling ships were dangerous, maybe even assuming that all ships are dangerous, and then communicate that to other whales, even for a hundred years, which is less than the lifetime of some whales.
