> Unless one believes that all efforts to prevent suicide are entirely futile...?

I don’t even need to think that. I can just think that it’s “hard” to differentiate between organizations that are “good” at stopping suicides and those that are “bad” at it. Or, I might think that state of the art suicide prevention is prohibitively expensive, eg maybe it costs on average $1,000,000 to stop a single suicide.
Hi Forgotmypw

The crops in the regions covered by the mesonet include broadacre agricultural crops (typically wheat and other cereals, and canola, and pulses such as chick peas), vineyards, fruiting trees in the Riverland (i.e. almonds, oranges, stone fruits etc) and potatoes. Particularly the mix of crop types within a region can result in problematic spray drift. For example, summer spraying in broadacre farms to kill summer weeds can drift many kilometres into vineyards and greatly affect the broad-leafed grapevines just as they are starting to fruit.

The typical herbicides used are glyphosate and 2,4-D. I don’t think these are ‘bad’ per se as they are a necessary part of modern agriculture. I think the ‘bad’ part is more to do with improper usage. This is everything from droplet size, volatisation, nozzle size, boom height as well as multiple weather factors. There have been numerous education and awareness campaigns about these things which have led to improved management. The missing piece of the puzzle was that although everyone knew inversions were bad for spraying (a big culprit for long-distance spray drift), no one knew when an inversion was happening. Our mesonet and website have now addressed this 

The vast majority of cattle are not grazing - instead they are fed farmed grain and soy in concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFO if you want to search it) where the density of animals is far greater than grazing would ever support.

Essentially most of that soy and corn in the American midwest and the clearcut Amazon are being raised to fatten cattle, not feed people - and it takes a lot of energy to do that.

> And if you think cars aren't utopian, tell me the last time you've seen an automobile ad that showed somebody being stuck in gridlocked traffic in the lincoln tunnel inhaling gas fumes for over half an hour.

I don’t think this is as ubiquitous as is suggested here - there aren’t really any tunnels in a lot of places, and New York has one of the best park and ride systems around if you have to make that trip regularly and want to avoid this scenario on the daily.

> I will contend that there does not exist a single automobile advertisement that shows the average car owner's typical experience of driving, certainly never in an urban setting.

I think it all depends on where one lives and their lifestyle. There are plenty of places, urban or otherwise, in America at least, where the picture painted preceding this quote is not a regular experience for people. I would venture to suggest the urban traffic grind is probably not the experience for a large majority of people. A ton of people drive in rural or suburban areas and run local errands and things as is depicted in many car ads.

Overall, I understand the importance of alternative means of transportation, but cars are one of the most personally efficient modes to get from Point A to Point B directly.

The irony with rent control is that it ultimately benefits the landlord if he can stick around long enough. The worst enemy of a landlord is another landlord. If the housing market is less competitive and the landlord can eventually raise rents back to market rate his property will become a cash cow.

Well, take that up with the GP.

> What's your theory for how this happened, if neither incompetence nor deliberate?

Honestly no theories, just rubber necking here :) but since you ask, here is what my shaving session with Occam brings up:

- cognitive impairment (alcohol, various fun chemicals)

- emotional agitation (relationship, personal matter, etc)

- rushed for time (silly mistake)

- arrogance ("I can do C++, Scala, JS, and PhP. This Ruby stuff will be cake, and I do not need to ask my team why they had those 'funny' filters on top of the function")

- malicious coding ("Sure, I'll help you scale it. I hate SV too. I hate it so much I spent 7 years at FB.")

So re. that last possibility, I also do not agree with your GP that this indicates that that platform was a honeypot. This specific event can be construed as placing a backdoor in their code.
"According to the Vision Council of America, approximately 75% of adults use some sort of vision correction. About 64% of them wear eyeglasses, and about 11% wear contact lenses, either exclusively, or with glasses. Over half of all women and about 42% of men wear glasses."

Apparently I am not alone and this statistics shows that smartwatches are not suitable for a significant part of population. In other words they will never be as poppular as smartphones.

As to bigger screen suggestion, depending on how bad your vision is, you man need such a huge screen to read without glasses it becomes impractical.
The first time I used Tiddly years ago, the UX never resonated with me so I wasn't able to get over the learning curve.

More recently, one of our users gave me a pretty detailed tour of their Tiddly, which shares sentiments of the other commenters. Single file is great until it's not. Lots of plugins but requires manual config. Needing to startup a server to collaborate wasn't great.

What "killer features" do you think Tiddly has?
you are correct. can't expect unifi fanboys to pass a reading comprehension test.

for the record, most other industry that offer APs that run on standalone will work with all features, or only advertise that feature on the package. For example, you don't see cisco(?) unleashed mode APs advertising guest portal, unless they can do it on unleashed (stand alone) mode.

Unifi is intentionally misleading.
These are great ideas that might actually be in the realm of feasibility (assuming your IoT devices run on some open standard), but the shame with this kind of thing in 2021 is that most of my digital life does not run on open standards, and so a programmable device has limited usefulness. I probably couldn't use it to play or control my media, to control my other (non-custom) devices, to display information from social media or from my bank accounts or tap into my subscriptions or interface with my personal cloud data. There are some exceptions and workarounds - most of them based on the web and web scraping - but most of those give you the sense that they only still exist because the company forgot about them, or doesn't care enough to retire them

> I am kind of upset that the entire American culinary experience is being reduced to "burgers, pizza, and fried chicken."

I think the reason why burgers and other processed foods are the first to be tackled by fake meat start-ups, is that processed foods are easier to imitate, and quite likely burgers have the largest consumption of any processed food on the market. From both a profitability and environmental standpoint, any small win here, has an outsized impact.

This suggestion may at first sound facetious, but I've just this week been mulling over the possibility of writing technical instructions in verse. I've lately been reading the old Norse sagas and have been struck by how the structured verses can be concise and easily remembered. The problem, of course, is that verse will automatically be seen as an (inappropriate) attempt at humor. I might first experiment with versifying boardgame instructions.

The TED speaker here seems to be speaking in blank verse, which has much less of the benefits to which I'm referring.
Yeah, I go out of my way to get eggs from pasture grazed hand collected chickens via goodeggs because of how they're tortured otherwise (https://www.goodeggs.com/sfbay/home).

I learned about the difference between 'pasture grazed', 'free range', 'cagefree', etc.

Pasture is the only one that seemed cruelty free. I was told in 'free range' they raise them inside with a door closed for the first part of their life because they lobbied for this due to 'disease', but then when they eventually open the door the chickens never go out because they've lived their whole lives in the little room.

Being vegetarian is hard for me because I really love eating, it took me a while (and the pandemic) to really change behavior to align with what I think is the right thing.

I have no doubt that many would struggle with it for many valid reasons.

For a whole lot of people (even people who eat meat), plant based vegetarian food still forms the foundation of their diet, and it's been that way since the dawn of agriculture.

For example, a dish made of legumes, grains, and vegetables flavored with a little bit of meat, while not vegetarian, is still fundamentally plant based. That describes a whole lot of traditional foods the planet over.

I think you might have misunderstood my comment even on the second reply after the ruder version you deleted: validation at edge is exactly what I was suggesting. If you're writing your code assuming a numeric ID, using placeholders means that it won't be exploitable if someone submits a non-numeric value but you're still at risk as described and likely other problems. If you validate it immediately and send an HTTP 400 for anything which isn't a valid number in whatever range you support, you don't have to worry about later finding out that someone came up with a clever way to do XSS, log splitting, etc. attacks even if they couldn't get at the database directly.

Google sells user data as well. It's their money printing business. Ever heard of DoubleClick? AdSense? AdWords? Etc.

I do not disagree that BTC is a great store of value, I disagree that it is a "currency." Which is usually what the term "money" denotes.

BTC in particular has long transaction verification times that are growing longer.

>Can you give an example where its capped supply would cause an issue?

To be useful as a day-to-day currency there needs to be a balance between inflation and value.

Currency works best when people are not encouraged to hoard it, because then the economic incentive of using money is there.

If I hold on to a dollar, in <30 years it will have about half that spending power at current inflationary momentum. Thus, it is more prudent to spend the currency on assets or exchange them for necessities. If the currency itself increases in value as time goes on, the incentive to exchange it for goods and services is actually not there.

Currency comes from the word current meaning flow. Hoarding something is the opposite of letting things flow.

>BTC is infinitely divisible, and so can be used as currency.

BTC is not "infinitely divisible." There is a smallest unit of BTC known as a satoshi, and transaction fees (the amount you must include to incentivize miners to actually put your transaction into a block) is already greater than the amount of BTC stored in some addresses.

>Money backed by entities are liabilities, which is a bug and not a feature of fiat money.

It may be the case that there are unsavory entities between the creative asset and the actual printed bill, but currency is at its basis rooted in the creative yield of branch or brain.
> Only one of those is a racial stereotype

Fuck this story, and shame on ArsTechnica for publishing it.

We shouldn't call out and shame individuals for making a mistake like this. Any company which even does something like this internally is toxic; the blame lies on the company and the process, not the individual. The flimsy excuse "oh, theys a bawd bawd company filled with icky people" doesn't hold water; we're talking about basic decency here.

You want to write a story about the commit? Hold the company responsible? Encourage processes and procedures which would have caught this? That's fine. Blur out the names. Ars isn't a tabloid, but they're acting like one; there are real, serious consequences for shit like this. You didn't set out to create the perfect ammunition for someone within a company arguing against the open sourcing of some project, but here it is.

I'm physically disgusted by this reporting.
I definitely fixed up some very SQL injectiony code somewhere between 2006-2008 in Perl.
Yes and it would be the same type but there is a risk of overflow (and underflow with subtraction) which could result in a runtime exception (same as the risk with conventional integers). You’d want to include a guard that prevented those results.

You could ask that hypothetical about any of a million different things that aren't a protected status.

You can totally do that. The code is public, and for a simple TCP proxy, we're talking, maybe, a couple dozen lines.
I guess it depends. I dont know anyone who cant tell the difference even without knowing it. They do taste good, but they are not meat. Even processed one.

Very cool. I followed a link to their Evolutionary Computation Journal last week and wondered why they were letting me read the articles for free - now I know why.
I also eat few burgers, but Americans average 3 burgers a week- and even more chicken than beef.

This is the problem being in a field (programming) that doesn't actually value experience.

I got this knocked into me by a very senior engineer when I complained about some really silly circuit on an older version of a microprocessor. His comment: "Okay, let's design that adder better. Oh, by the way, you only have two layers of metal in that technology. Let's walk through the options." My response: "Uh, no. We don't need to. There are exactly 3 options and only one that works." His response: "And now you know why the engineers prior to you made that decision. Don't assume your predecessors were untouchable geniuses, but don't assume they were moronic idiots, either. Just like you, they had a job to do, did it, and, most importantly, shipped it."
One area where I think Ada has the edge is providing language constructs that make bare metal programming safer. Concepts like 'dangling pointers' and 'memory leaks' aren't relevant in a programming environment without a heap. In bare-metal programming on a microcontroller you're more likely working within a flat memory model where the 'memory safety' provided by some modern programming languages is less relevant. Arguably, this is the context within which safety-critical programming is actually happening.

I really, really hate the JS toolchains like "Webpack + TS + React + eslint + Babel etc etc" that you mentioned.

I rather like Svelte.

But honesty requires that we recognize that Svelte also uses Webpack/Rollup + TS + Svelte etc etc.

I like the idea of Snowpack. But if A.svelte and B.svelte both use C.svelte, Snowpack has to do a lot of redundant work to provide A.js and B.js with Svelte.js and C.js all converted again and again from ts then baked into both A.js and B.js. That's a lot of server work and a lot of client work and a lot of network work.

So you still want a webpack or rollup or what have you to bundle and tree-shake and codesplit for production. I don't know why this irritates me more than running any of my other code through a compiler. But it always has.
