Right, but as a species we don’t have herd immunity; if we did then we would only have flu outbreaks when it jumped species rather than yearly. Currently it shifts around and mutates on a yearly basis because not everyone gets the shot worldwide.

It’s obviously better to completely kill off Covid (or any infectious disease) with global herd immunity, but a yearly outbreak suppressed by regular vaccination is something we have a model for, and it’s far better than where we’re at with Covid.
We have a built in illusion that morality is discovered, not invented. But our moral flexibility over time is huge, and can encompass things like slavery and genocide. It could as easily encompass farming and eating live babies, or other horrors up to and including human extinction.

To the extent that fiction acknowledges and explores such moral spaces it's natural for it to be contentious. Exploring alternative moralities is necessarily immoral to the prevailing morality. A culture of profound tolerance is required for such explorations, and such cultures are evanescent and poorly distributed.
You must have missed that his Fundamental Theory Of Everything™ is just a bunch of pretty pictures, a few blog posts and promotional videos on YouTube. That's not how science is done, and that's exactly why physicists at large don't take him seriously.
Not to mention they still don't taste like meat. The Impossible Burger comes closest and i think it's fine for getting a meat eater to give it a shot but I'd rather eat a black bean burger with just a few ingredients at a fraction of the cost.
What's that phrase? 'Capitalism will sell the rope used to hang itself'..? It's kinda like that IMO. If the country has a big enough economy they can indeed break the rules and even the most principled people will shrug and say there's nothing we can do. In practice these principles are a lot more pliable than people make it seem
I disagree. I find that breaking functions into subfunctions extremely helpful to make code easier to read and understand and follow, and consequently to track and fix bugs.

Extracting functions does way more than removing descriptive comments. When you extract a function, you're compartmentalizing code and adding scopes where none existed and limit contexts. When you extract a function, you're explicitly constraining a block to comply with a contract, which allows you to not care what goes below that point. You just care about pre and post-conditions, and that is more than enough to troubleshoot and fix bugs, and more importantly not add them.
Hopefully with less food in this theoretical scenario because most people are overweight.
If a logged in session never expires, then the "magic link" idea basically boils down to a "proof of email" scheme, at least for the simple case of a user only using one browser.

For such users, it would almost make sense for a browser add-on to offer a "temporary email" service which is dedicated to just generating a fake email address and redirecting the browser once the magic link arrives.

At which point, why does the site need to ask for an email address at all? I suppose the risk is that the user loses their cookies and can't access the site under their account again, but maybe the site could offer a randomly generated recovery phrase which the user could take a screenshot/picture of with their phone, or print off.
What do you mean "thinks" it can? It is clearly doing so here.

Not that there's a short supply of examples, but just look at the current meddling in oil pipeline agreement Nordstream 2 between Russia and Germany; the US financial empire regulates whichever foreign nation's affairs they can get away with.

That's an interesting question: how much would it cost to keep 3 years of food (let's assume the bare minimum - refined white flour) in reserve for the entire United States? What is the cost of food subsidies over the same period?
I enjoy eating meat... the texture, the savory nature of its flavor.

Back when I lived in the bay, my brother and I found a vegan restaurant - Golden Era. He had taken me to other vegetarian restaurants and they always felt lacking for something. Golden Era... the 'chicken' drumsticks - ok, they were on a wooden stick, but the texture of whatever it was was right. Then Mongolian 'chicken' had a texture to it too and the sauce provided a nice savory to it.

Since then, some others suggested that the texture may have been from jackfruit (some day I'll hunt up some around here and see if I can make a reasonable BBQ Jackfruit sandwich.

But yea - the thing that had me not pass on my brother asking if I wanted to head to Golden Era was that it felt right when it was being chewed.
The “bad” part seems like a strange distinction to need to make. Are people in good marriages getting divorced?

In other words, I think it’s reasonable to say that divorce is a healthy way to end a marriage, because if it ended in divorce, then by definition, at least one party thought it needed to, making it a bad marriage.
Thanks so much. I love that my "war stories" are interesting to people other than me :)
That's terrible.

I wonder if there are lawyers who specialize in this kind of thing.
> What do you mean "thinks" it can?

I mean that the government can claim whatever it wants, the validity of the claims still have to be demonstrated in court - since we are not yet in a dictatorship the executive and the judicial branch remain separate.

Germany is a lapdog, but Russia less so. I get the feeling it won't be allowed to fly: if Germany really wants its Sputnik vaccines, it will have to show some spine.

And let's talk again when the "US financial empire" thinks it can do the same with China :)

I would assume Hong Kong records as Cantonese is the official language (for at least English<->Cantonese), I would also assume the Guangdong province would also be a source of material as well.
My approach:

1. put a one line comment at the top of each code file.

2. The build extracts that comment and dynamically updates a readme.md for the directory that describes each code file.

3. The build also produces a master document that includes the same summaries in a single document.

This provides a light indication of what each code file is and how they are organized into directories. It doesn’t provide any indication of flow control or any kind of logical linking.

Since the documentation is prepared via automation you can add new files or delete files and the documentation remains current. If such a comment is missing from a code file the build fails with error messaging. Keeping each comment up to date is still manual though.

all configurations have advantages and disadvantages. Most civilian jets have tails which are mounted higher than the main wing. The position matters when you are talking about not getting into stall and then recovering from a stall. A lower tail is definitely better for an inexperienced pilot or a pilot in a bad situations. And the safety records of high wing planes like Cessna 172 speak to that.

There are also some weird 'cooperatives' that do, more or less, P2P health insurance.

They seem to have originally been built for religious community-support purposes, and then grandfathered into the regulatory framework. Their present appeal is that they're cheaper than real insurance, assuming that you aren't deluged with sob stories to cover unexpected costs, and can discriminate in ways that real insurance can't (I recall that the one I looked at a few years ago would charge more if you were fat, and obviously the reproductive-control services were nonexistent)
The method I've considered: add a separate .mermaid file, render it as a png or svg file, and put that in the markdown file.
I guess it depends on the danger of the virus. If the virus is as congagious as covid for example, but it kills 40% of people even among the young, there would be far less concerns about giving experimental vaccines to healthy people. I hope the vaccine production lines we are building now will stay well oiled until the inevitable hit of the next pandemic.
You don't need minification for that as such; you can add it to your test step (and probably also run a more advanced static analysis tool while you're at it).

Also, I've also had minification introduce bugs; and while it's uncommon I'd rather not take the risk as these things are not easy to figure out.
the best veggie burgers are the ones that don't try to imitate meat. my local burger place does a falafel burger that i'd honestly take over beef pretty much any day of the week.
> That is, you should always return in an `if` branch.

I've had seasoned team members criticizing that approach as possibly the worst mistakes a developer can do.

Their rationale is that you needlessly increase the cyclomatic complexity of a module whenever you return early, and if you care about logging you'll already have to add multiple code paths just to emit them.
Both. This pursuit of tasting "kinda like meat" has incurred a lot of odd ingredients most people would normally eschew if they knew the extent of study in human consumption. Plain meat has a much better track record. I don't blame any meat eater for rolling their eyes at this stuff.

And the decisions are sometimes odd. Like beet juice being added not for flavor but so it looks like the patty is bleeding. Meat eaters aren't sold because the veggie burger looks rare.

The truth is meat eaters aren't, en massé, abandoning meat for a plant based alternative that provides little to no health benefit and costs just as much or more.

Will we get there? Probably. But we're in a weird limbo area that is barely appealing to either side of the fence other than as a novelty.
Like Zoom’s meeting passwords? It’s doable for sure. I was thinking I’ll add security once there’s enough demand for it. E.g., anyone with a Google docs link can view a shared doc but no one seems overly bothered by that.

It will be interesting, they're having to learn hard lessons about support and customer service that other car companies learned half a century ago. The question is can they learn those lessons faster than the other car companies can learn to build comparable EVs.

Yeah that scope alone costs over $1M, the probes for it probably cost more than what most people would or could pay for their house.
> This helps to explain why we invest so much time and energy into fiction, far more than did any of our ancestors.

Is this true? I think story-telling has been generally prioritized by humans at most place and times. It is not obvious to me we invest far more than our ancestors, I doubt it.

But the OP is some interesting ideas, I'm still trying to figure out the implications.

> Our moral evaluations of the main big actions that influence our world today, and that built our world from past worlds, are still up for grabs. And the more we build such shared evaluations, the more we’ll be able to tell satisfying stories set in the world in which we live, rather than set in the fantasy and historical worlds with which we must now make do.

Hmm. I think some of the best stories help us work out our moral evaluations and build shared ones. This isn't just something that happens outside of fiction and then affects our consumption of fiction -- fiction, for the reasons the OP outlines in fact, is one of our tools for working it out. We build shared evaluations by telling stories. Story-telling is fundamental to how humans make sense of the world, moral and otherwise, but moral too. I think OP would agree? That is in fact why we fight over it, because we know how powerful it is in this area? Not sure.

As a devotee of speculative fiction, I'm a bit offended at the framing that it is something we must "make do" with out of our moral confusion. Like any other genre, there is good and bad, but I think at it's best SF can be a notably valauble tool in helping us self-reflect and develop our moral sensibilities, it is in fact a power that SF has particularly. Sure, there's plenty of lazy SF that avoids reflection or difficult questions, but at it's best it has a particular power to challenge in a way that builds new understandings, precisely by inviting the reader to look at things with fresh eyes instead of the comfort of the familiar and legible.
there are a lot of exceptions. In case of Business jets it's almost a rule to have a t tail.
> The DKIM issue has been brought up, and there are legitimate reasons why that assertion is not included in the Wikipedia.

Not even mentioning DKIM because of the unsupported possibility that Google's private key could be compromised (by hacker or rogue employee) is a weak excuse when opposing claims ("the shop had no contact information for its owner") just seem to be pulled out of thin air.

Even if they don't want to state that it's verified (again I think the email has met a far higher standard than opposing claims already being stated definitively), at least a mention of the DKIM verification and its limitations (like how it doesn't say anything about context) is surely warranted.

Also my main claim is that Wikipedia is wrong/misleading here. Something false being included in the article is still false even if they have policy reasons (like RS requirements) for doing so. I'd say that claim three does already violate their policy, but I'm not defending their policy as a perfect diviner of truth.
If you think you can avoid the iron fist of Uncle Sam ... good luck. Everyone playing this game knows the rules.

> Why was financial disruption worse than the emotional disruption of a bad marriage? I guess not having enough to eat is worse than an abusive marriage

Look, I’m not talking about abusive marriages. For people without a college degree, 60% of marriages will end before the kids are independent and in their own two feet. Most of those don’t involve involve abuse.

> but do people get into that much financial trouble from divorce usually?

Yes. For the average middle class family, having to split into two households is incredibly financially disruptive. Most middle class couples aren’t in a position where one person can take over the housing payment alone. That means moving, potentially changing schools, etc. And there’s a ton of other shared expenses that each parent now has to pay separately.

> What about child support?

For a non-college educated man making the median $36,000 a year, child support here in Maryland works out to $567 per month. That doesn’t come close to offsetting the support of the other householder.
> The fundamental problem with the example under discussion seems to be that while the behaviour might not be intended by the programmer, it is working as specified as far as the language is concerned and changing that specification to make the unwanted behaviour fail a type check could have additional and unwanted side effects.

You don't need to change the behavior of the program. You can change the type checker to catch the unwanted error.

>Perhaps I’m not correctly understanding your idea around arity as part of the function types, but so far it’s not obvious to me how what I think you’re describing helps to resolve that contradiction. Are you suggesting a way the type system could be changed without causing those additional, unwanted side effects?

It's not formalized anywhere to my knowledge and I'm not willing to go through the rigor to do this in the comments. But it can easily be explained.

Simply put, what is the type signature of a function that can accept either two variables or one variable? I've never seen this specified in any formal language.

To fix this specific issue you want the type signature here to specify only certain functions with a fixed arity.

When some external library is updated with a function that previously had arity 1 to <arity 1 or 2> that could be thought of as type change that should trigger a type error.

Right now type checker recognizes F(a) and F(a, b=c) (where c is a default parameter that can be optionally overridden) as functions with matching types.

F(a) == F(a, b=c)
F(a,b) == F(a, b=c) <-----(F(a,b) in this case is a function where b is NOT optional)
F(a) != F(a, b)

From the example above you can see the type checker lacks transitivity (a == c and b == c does not imply a == b), because the type of a function with an optional parameter is not really well defined or thought out.

This is exactly the problem the author is describing. The type checker assumes that when the library changed F(a) to F(a, b=c) that the types are still equivalent, but this breaks transitivity so it's a bad choice and will lead to strange errors because programmers assume transitivity is a given.

You don't see this problem in other type checkers because JavaScript is weird in the sense that you can call a function of arity 1 with 5 parameters.
They absolutely are, thank you!

Happy Birthday in the Styles of 10 Classical Composers
The article is about the expression of anxiety in terms of the heart, as opposed to the more contemporary vernacular which attributes anxiety to the mind.

To alleviate anxiety, allow your thoughts to sit with your breath. That's all meditation is - a change of the subject through which your mental exertions are driven.

Tension is held in the body, so relief from anxiety will be manifested in both mind and body.

How to do this?

Go to a room where you won't be disturbed for 10 minutes.
