The problem is the poor I want to help most are the poor who cannot take care of themselves. Those who can take care of the money (as opposed to giving it to scammers) can also figure out how to get more and just need the government out of the way. (this is the conservative lower taxes point). What is left is a lot of people with mental issues who can never take care of themselves and wouldn't use the money to do it. The money needs to go to some ??? that will take care of those people.

We do this where I work (municipal social work and housing with care) and it really does remove some of the incentives to up-code and over-produce on the part of the provider in the short term.

In the long term there's still some incentive to take on extra clients for the care providers so they have a better negotiating position for their next contact.

Nope, these are all pretty comparable. And from the beginner point of view, they're all similar. They can all be programmed using the Arduino IDE and language, and all except the Nano can also be loaded up with Circuit Python and programmed in scripts rather than binary.

They're all pretty simple to use, with good documentation. I would probably add an M5StickC to this list, as they come as a nice modular package, with case and screen and a bunch of fun things for experimenting.

Since they can all be programmed using Arduino IDE, which has good documentation and forum support, you don't have to deal with a bunch of external toolchains and whatnot (though I would suggest VSCode with the PlatformIO plugin as soon as you're comfortable with the programming side of things.)

It has to be said Milo Manara is a boomer and his popularity somewhat declined in the 2000s. Nowadays even people who are familiar with his mainstream output (from ads to cartoons made with Adriano Celentano) don't necessarily know his name or the fact that he became famous with erotic comics in late-70s/mid-80s. I would not expect anybody under 30 to be familiar with his name.

I personally think if you cannot run that simple command and don't know what Terminal.app is then the defaults are correct for you. For power users you can make macOS as open as you want is all I was getting at.

Again, just my personal opinion.
Casual programmers, especially those learning Python as a first programming language, aren't well-placed to know which language features they need. If they're learning from multiple sources and tutorial series A teaches Python 2-style %-formatting, B teaches str.format, and C teaches f-strings, then the novice programmer will learn all of these equivalent features.

This also shows up when the novice programmer wants to understand other people's code. If there is only one way to do things, then all common examples of a task should use that one way. If there are multiple ways (as here), then common examples (or an open source project of interest) may use any combination of them. To understand the code, the novice programmer needs to understand all of the right ways to do something rather than one of them.

The "core" of pyramid is extremely powerful. It has a full authentication/authorization framework that can be tied into.

It gives you no opinions on how to do these things but it having the hooks in place allows you to develop your authorization and authentication however is needed.
Aren't you just describing an input-based theory of value in your first statement (as opposed to a Riccardian theory of value where price is determined by demand relative to supply)? I was under the impression that a labour theory of value is a rather specific kind of input theory since it would not treat energy as a legitimate input but instead require the value of energy be determined by the human labor required to produce that energy--i.e. the value of bitcoin should be determined by considering the amount of labour required to produce the energy required for mining plus the labor directly involved in running and the Bitcoin network. Consider a contrasting input-based theory of value which instead of using labour uses some finite resource (or collection thereof) like barrels of oil as its unit of value: here the value of Bitcoin would be determined by the number of barrels of oil required to produce the energy required to mine bitcoin. Even though it uses energy as a means of determining the value of bitcoin, this second theory of value does not involve considerations of labour at any stage.

Also (as an aside irrelevant to my above question), I think you greatly overestimate the number of people who subscribe to a labour theory of value. Personally, I don't recall encountering people who subscribed to it other than far-left shitposters on twitter (who are definitely a minority, although a rather vocal one).

This[1] is a blog post about airlines that you will find very illuminating and enraging.

To doubt means to test every proposition with intellectual integrity. And with a knowledge of established fact.

This is dependent on one inhabiting a social group where successful education has improved discourse and general thinking ability.

In the social context, it isn't as bad everywhere else as in the US. Propaganda has become lucrative, that's all.

> RHEL has a strict demarcation between support levels, features, release timelines, etc. So if you report a bug to RHEL, they may not backport the fix even if it fixed upstream. And then you are just stuck.

This is changing with CentOS Stream. Bugs can be filed against CentOS Stream in the Red Hat Bugzilla and they will do something with that bug report. Additionally, if you know what to backport to fix it, you can submit pull requests on any package in CentOS Stream to have it reviewed and merged to fix your issue. The fix would then be built and released within days of merging your fix.

From my perspective, that's pretty golden for an Enterprise Linux platform. The only other that's like that is openSUSE Leap/SUSE Linux Enterprise.
Yes, but this skepticism is problematic when it comes to healthcare. Particularly when it comes to high-deductible plans -- people are too skeptical, and will avoid seeking the care they need. Even when the cost of that early care is less than what they would otherwise be playing in premiums.

My description explicitly hypothesised a universe that is entirely immutable, and where the passage of time is purely "read only". Your presence at any given point in time then would never mutate anything ever, any more than watching a movie mutates the movie.

EDIT: You can certainly imagine more "relaxed" models that would also work, where mutability is possible, but where constraints increasingly restrain which mutations are possible when looping back on itself, but an immutable model is the simplest to describe in order to illustrate that models that allows loops can be made self-consistent.

I'm still disappointed in the Leap Motion, although mostly because of the drivers. They are so locked down that it's basically impossible to play with the hardware without going through their SDK, which, last time I checked, did not work with ARM devices and I never had any luck getting it to work on Ubuntu.
i wonder how much money gets wasted on these failed explorations/projects.
Could it also be that there is still a bit of a stigma in male circles, for that type of work? Traditional male stereotypes in the Middle East are still very, very well-entrenched; sitting at your desk "playing" with computers is probably not respected as much as elsewhere.

What makes you think that decoder actually has enough RAM to receive more than a single frame?

Formats like H.264 are designed around hard constraints where the OEMs can build HW decoders that only have maybe 1-3 frames worth of internal memory (this includes reference frames required for forward/backward decoding of B frames). All to keep both costs and latency down. Having your decoding block add 5-10 frames of latency will cause many problems down the line.

It's really not a given that your decoding block will be able to take more than one frame at a time. 16ms really is plenty for video decode handling for most usecases.
I like Solar2D better, actually.
>I expect that somebody said at some point, "Planes on ships? That must be the stupidest idea I have ever heard!"

I don't know about that. Before the invention of the airplane we already had balloon carriers - ships that carried balloons for observation in naval engagements.

The first flight of a fixed wing aircraft happened in 1903. By 1910 a plane had already taken off from the armored cruiser USS Birmingham.[0] The French converted the Foudre to be a seaplane carrier in 1911 after the invention of the seaplane in 1910.

Planes launched from ships were used in World War I.
For example, HMS Engandine was a freight ship that was converted into a seaplane tender and commissioned in 1914. In 1916 she took part in the Battle of Jutland. HMS Ark Royal was a purpose built seaplane carrier and was commissioned in 1914. She also took part in World War I.

Later we got the flat-deck carriers. HMS Argus was converted in 1918, USS Langley in 1920. The first purpose built flat deck carriers were the Japanese Hōshō and British Hermes. They were commissioned in 1922 and 1924 respectively, but the Hermes was laid down first in 1918.

Funnily enough, the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922 cancelled the production of more battleships and battlecruisers. This led to the USS Lexington and USS Saratoga being converted to carriers. And eventually carriers made direct surface combat ships obsolete.

Planes on ships probably wasn't a crazy idea.

I wouldn't read too much into these "odd" finds. Doing so forgets a basic principal of archology/anthropology: The people of the past weren't all that different than us. Go to any city in the world today and you will find ancient coins from all over the world. An ancient roman coin in Vancouver doesn't mean that ancient Romans visited Canada. Even if that coin is found buried in a landfill, we would assume it traveled to Vancouver recently and is tied to a museum, collector or tourist. Why then do we think any different when we dig up a coin from the past? People and coins moved about then just as they do today.

How about the inverse: a modern coin found buried in an ancient location? That would be DoctorWho level "odd".
That's relatively new. I believe that was introduced in 2016-ish? It definitely didn't work in older Ubuntu LTS releases...
There's some nice articles linked in the bottom there. I liked this one: http://www.tr0lly.com/bitcoin/bitcoin-is-not-a-literal-ponzi...

I'm curious why the revelations around Tether hasn't led to Bitcoin crashing yet. I would definitely have sold if I had any (well I did, I mined a bit in the very beginning, but that's lost). Is it that others haven't heard about it, or is it that they don't believe that Tether will take down Bitcoin with it?

It seems like it may have stalled the growth of BTC for now though.

The "network connection" provision of AGPL doesn't require you to open source anything you use to talk to it, just modifications of it. To make it clearer:

Client <--> Server.
The server is AGPL licenced.

I can write a client to talk to the server and I don't have any licence restrictions. For example - if I write a web client to talk to an AGPL web server, I don't have to open source the client.

If I modify the AGPL server, and then put that modified server on the internet then the AGPL terms require me to make available the modified source code.

I am not a lawyer, but this is my understanding of this: https://choosealicense.com/licenses/agpl-3.0/
I'll also play along the role of the pedant :

> In a go a string is an immutable byte slice assumed to be valid utf8, with associated methods and users which all assume that slice of memory is valid utf8.

Which is in my opinion the worst choice you could make when designing a type. If I'm working in a typed language because of so-called "type safety", if I can't trust my types to actually enforce their guarantees, what can I trust ?
My personal opinion is that metrics should be largely invisible, only becoming visible at the level of management where decisions are made. Anything else leads to exactly what you just said: misguided micro-optimizations and gamesmanship.
Innovation in the web without sacrificing Accessibility
I just did some digging, and the Python 3 built-in HTTP stuff seems to represent HTTP headers using a reasonably-comprehensive mechanism that is shared with MIME parsing and the various IMF semantics, and so I am pretty sure you end up getting back an object of type email.header.Header (but I might have misunderstood the documentation just now... I mostly gave up on Python when they moved to Python 3 so I haven't experienced this first hand).

https://docs.python.org/3/library/email.header.html#email.he...

This actually looks like a really solid implementation--like, I am super impressed by this (though watch it suck... everything sucks ;P)--as it doesn't assume any ability to flatten the result! That said, I am also deeply concerned that this might pre-decode something that should actually be in ASCII all the way down from MIME (which, notably, is complex enough of a format to include support for embedded comments). I kind of want to do some auditing here, to make sure there aren't some parser discrepancy vulnerabilities in common Python HTTP frameworks ;P.

But like, I think this object represents a sequence of strings each with its own encoding, allowing it to "Q" encode the result exactly as specified (and correctly round trip something it parsed, which still does feel a tad dangerous, and maybe the API lets you avoid it in those cases). It then has an __str__ implementation (to let you use it as a string) that explicitly claims to return an "approximation" of the header (which may or may not be a safe thing to use in different circumstances; but like, that in some sense isn't the API's fault?...).
Great site. It's a newer/cleaner/simpler version of my go-to site for anything detailed related to exercise: ex-rx.net.

One suggestion: add more of the detail that site has on the other muscles used during a particular exercise. Example is bench press, which is pec-focused but engages lots of other muscles - it might be useful to show the body-diagram highlighting all of those muscles.
Cruise missiles do not return to base. Also I don't know of any cruise missile that is used for reconnaissance but I may be uninformed. Are any cruise missiles launched and then flown around until you notice something of interest to sink?

Problem with using a cruise missile for recon is that it looks exactly like a missile.
I think free will is orthogonal to mutability/immutability of time.
I once did the same with Microsoft Windows 8 (or 8.1) keyboard layout changes breaking old software. You'd think they don't suddenly change from '.' to ',' as decimal separator. But that's what they did. And so did Apple more years ago by the way, even resulting in a calculator that couldn't be used anymore with the numeric keypad.

Anyway, found a guy working on keyboard layout stuff at Microsoft through LinkedIn as the other support channels were non-responsive. Unfortunately he just confirmed the change if I remember correctly. But at least we knew what was coming.
I like this explanation, but it essentially doesn't solve the paradox. It just shifts it to knot-stability.

The question is: can I create a situation which can not lead to stability?
And if so, what happens? Will it simply not work? Or will every situation lead to the possibility of stability?

Say, I travel back in time at the moment the universe "ends", and from that point onward in the past I destroy all time machines with a certain technology. Then, no one can fix what I did, and no stable loop could exist.

Now it is the same paradox all over again.

I mean, my guess is that such a situation simply can not exist, therefore I can not experience it - I can not live in this universe where this is possible. So, I can only live in the universe where my technology somehow fails exactly when someone travels back in time to correct my loop.

I think you are implying the following when you say "you have to look at the government": "if you want to fix the problem of people/clinics/etc. abusing (dodging/fraudulently take advantage of) government programs/policies you have to ..." ----- And the "..." is not filled in. I guess I could fill it in with: "stop implementing policies/programs if you are not at the same time investing as much as it is necessary to guarantee nobody gets around the law" - that is, do not trust, add more inefficiency (clinics already need to attest the procedure is necessary) and cost.
The reason college has been so useful historically is because it works as a status signal. I don’t think employers seriously believe that a BA in history teaches useful skills for a menial office job (1 semester is probably enough), but that doesn’t stop it from being a good idea for the student. It could be similar in CS.

Anecdotally, the biggest benefit of a degree for me was just meeting others with similar goals. The meta knowledge about how to get a job, what skills I need, credibility when contacting recruiters, etc. along with the positive peer pressure from being around more successful students. These things are were all “unknown unknowns” before I started. My hometown has no tech industry.

Speaking to an Australian friend, I learned that 25% of cats don't respond to catnip at all - or cat mint, as they call it. Apparently the branch of the cat family in Australia are ones that don't have the catnip genes, so she had never witnessed a cat acting crazy in the characteristic cat way.

My previous cats did two different things - one would instantly flop down and roll in the catnip, then lazily lick it off her paws. The other cat would make a beeline for any catnip and intently eat all of it, shoving aside the rolling cat.
