I agree with the sentiment but as other user pointed out, there are quite a few rules that can enforce very strict limits on css selectors complexity : limiting sibling selectors, descendants, limit combined ( eg. .foo .bar .baz = 3 parts ), low specificity even down to 1, disallow ids, !important, etc.

This requires in my experience using a consistent bem syntax otherwise specificity snowballs pretty fast.
I am not sure that are that many though, aren't more caves populated with bandits(makes sense) , crypts populated with undead or necromancers(makes sense) and ruins populated with treasure hunters(makes sense too). All those letters and journals add a bit of lore and most people do not read them anyway. From time to time you find unique characters though with unique stories and sometimes side quests.

There are a lot of issues with Skyrim, there are some very funny videos about it, but for me personally those quirks are not significant enough to complain.

I find the law that requires you to carry a firearm more interesting: https://www.sysselmannen.no/en/weapon/

Being a remote town in the far north with unusual day/nighy cycles does require some strange laws to keep everyone safe and sane I guess.

Also, Tom has been there ofc: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFJ-ze2-SqU
Remember to add: that can actually run standard C++ (i.e. with exceptions)?

Certainly you can find an architecture which may run some type of C-like language with strange arithmetic rules (e.g. DSPs). I would bet it's harder to find one such architecture where one can run standard C, and impossible to find one which can run standard C++.
There's also privacy.

If someone's reverse engineering that modem, I'm curious what all is running on there, if it makes any connections other than what you ask for, and who it talks to, and what is said.

Original title: Why you can't Sample from a Dictionary in Python.

Naively it should be easy to do with rejection sampling, but there are some interesting details to as explained by Raymond Hettinger, the author of Python's dict.
In a way numbers are much worse than that. Imagine writing a number down as a decimal fraction, like 2.0 or 4.86. If when you do this, the digits go on forever and no digit (such as a zero or a three) appears much more or less often than the you'd expect at random, that number is called "normal in base 10". If that's true in every base, it's just called "normal".

That doesn't sound very normal, probably no numbers you usually think about have these properties, why do mathematicians call them "normal"? Well, the mathematicians have proved that almost all real numbers are normal. It just turns out that we haven't the faintest idea how to find them and we never needed them for anything so we didn't notice how abundant they apparently are.

We aren't even sure if some weird numbers we do know about are normal, Pi looks pretty normal, but we can't prove it is.
Also from RO, and the other day I saw on FB a former colleague with stronger religious beliefs shared a conspiracy theory. It was pretty elaborate, linking someone who had psychological trouble after being in the AZ vaccine trials with the number of the beast, Nephalem and other apocalyptic prophecies, as well as something about an apparent DoD leak from 2005 claiming to engineer a virus that blocked a gene manifesting in loss of religious beliefs that would be targeted at middle eastern fundamentalists.

I tried hard to debunk it but took me a lot of time and not sure if anyone reasoned with my explanation more than with it.
DSP's have often uncommon sizes. tms320c5502 for example has following sizes:
char-- 16 bits
short --16 bits
int --16 bits
long-- 32 bits
long long -- 40 bits
float-- 32 bits
double -- 64 bits
That's my point. A dish antenna is highly directional, so an tx/rx antenna pointed towards the sky can be detected/jammed effectively only by standing in between the antenna and the target it's pointed to, ie the satellite. It's not a thin line, but it's still a limited area, and the minor lobes of its radiation pattern produce a very faint signal which can become negligible by burying or covering most of the dish in all directions except the one it's aimed to.

> Yes one might twist a definition to make freedom about the ability to freely spend the wealth of other people in a country

I honestly don't know where this "freely spend the wealth of other people" thing came from. If it's about heathcare, then it's a particular extreme political framing, to which I strongly disagree, but that seems to be missing the point.

> rest of the safety net is obviously more important to that agenda than the difference between voluntarily buying health insurance versus being forced to pay for it.

If you're saying that healthcare access isn't an important issue in the developed world today - in the midst of a pandemic and given the disparities - then again, hard disagree; to the extent that IDK, maybe something is very wrong with your thinking. Maybe it isn't important for you and you can't extend your view past that?

> no one in a undeveloped country or primitive lifestyle is ever free, apparently

My first issue with that is the binary framing, "free or not", no shades or grey or qualifiers, no degrees or kinds.

Then, I have the ability to contemplate changing jobs, changing locations, taking holidays in faraway places, so if you're asking "is this more free than a person in undeveloped country who doesn't have those choices?" It's self-evidently: yes of course.

Access to healthcare is not that different really. Nor is access to education. Or if (true story) you're relatively well off, in a third-world country, and you're going to live with private security, electrified fences, alarm systems etc. You're getting security, but you're less free to come and go. You feel it, constantly. You'd be freer if the crime rate was lower, and the crime rate would be lower if there was less abject poverty. Join the dots.

Well, there are not that many tax-free places. If they didn't have quotas, there would no doubt be thriving businesses buying alcohol in Svalbard and selling it in the rest of Norway.
Gives me a bit of a Skyrim vibe, haha.
> I find the law that requires you to carry a firearm more interesting

That's not quite what it says. Firearms are only a recommendation.

> Due to the polar bear threat in Svalbard, anyone travelling outside the settlements must be equipped with appropriate means of frightening and chasing off polar bears.

> The Governor of Svalbard also recommends having firearms with you.
It discouraging. If the language requires you actually know what you're doing you can't hire dirt-cheap easily-replaced code monkeys to bang out your ideas and the end result is you get to keep less of the investors' money for yourself.
Why NASA wants you to point your smartphone at trees (2019)
I suspect the video gaming lobby is not as strong as other ones. Nonetheless, regulation (or discussion about it) comes very late to the party, where most of the big players (read: gaming companies, EA etc.) rely heavily on "gambling" mechanisms for their revenue. Thus, strong lobbyism from those companies will be there. Nonetheless, we already have legislation in Belgium, Netherlands and regulation right now (probably) coming to Germany (one of the chambers still has to vote for it). So, finally legislation is catching up with it. At least in Europe. I'm very happy about it. Simply make all those games playable only if you're 18 or older and we will see what happens (I can imagine a future where EA will release 2 versions of FIFA).
Can this be seen as a religious proof that the universe is a simulation?
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
The artifact is as an additional component of every operation that is unaffected by the magnitude of the variables being operated upon and is irrelevant within the simulated reality until a maximum variable size is observed.

I don't think that's a good description of the speed of light. Lorentz contraction kicks in well before the limit.
> Mainland Norway definitely doesn't have quotas like this; rather alcohol is simply made to be quite expensive.

If you don't mind the higher price I'm sure you can still import it as long as you pay the duty. (The linked page merely says that you cannot import tax-free.) So ultimately it's the same situation as in (the rest of) Norway, but with some small allowance of cheaper tax-free alcohol. If they didn't have the quotas, people would arbitrage it.
Any recommendations of courses that are worth checking out?
I both agree and disagree.

I agree that these platforms shouldn't have so much power in terms of controlling global speech. It's a big mistake that the world's social fabric is now mostly controlled by a handful of companies, whose incentives don't even align with their users'.

I disagree that the platforms themselves should be forced to do anything. They should be free to publish (or not) whatever they want. Trump and his team are welcome to set up his own website and publish there, and offer an RSS feed or similar for readers to keep up to date.

I am actually quite happy that all this happened, as this raises the discussion about the problem beyond the tech industry. Now there's a much larger chunk of people (outside of tech) that are dissatisfied with the situation and would be more open to using alternatives that aren't under the control of any single company.

I'm not aligned with Trump's politics either, but if he and his supporters manage to fight back "big tech" and the whole advertising-driven social media industry then I'm all in for it. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
You highlighted two important points.

>most employees would prefer to be paid without working anywhere full stop.

This is true but we should ask why?

> If there is a disagreement, the employees opinion isn't really the guiding star.

This second point is deeply related to the first. If employees actually owned part of the business like the owners, or to put it another way, there is no employee/employer separation, then it's clear they would want to work since they A) own part of the business and B) have say over the business.

There is the concept of Democracy at Work by Richard Wolf as a solution to the two problems you mentioned.

As an aside, as someone who owns part of a business, I can say that I also prefer work-from-home.
> All those letters and journals add a bit of lore and most people do not read them anyway.

But that's just it: They don't add lore, they add noise. If this kind of story telling is done well and occasionally, then players would actually read those letters. You are right, here they don't, and that's not surprising if they are placed everywhere.
This. I don't understand why everyone must suffer the pain of the possibility of weird char widths instead of just settling on using a non-standard C in a bunch of DSPs. It's not like you're going to link a bunch of regular run of the mill C libraries on them anyway.
Is there any way to apply without creating a LinkedIn account? They are a shady company and I refuse to give them access to my email (they spammed my contacts once without my authorization, and then I deleted my LinkedIn account).
This sounds very much like the Swedish alcohol importation laws.
Also people underestimate how expensive in both time and money commuting is. Remote work may actually give people opportunities who cant afford to commute.
In some contexts it's a minimum - e.g. monthly sales quota for a salesperson, or monthly ticket quota for a traffic police officer.
> But, more importantly, I will never apply for a job that lists Perl. It's just a relic from the past.

Good. More Perl jobs for me then. Although I kind of got bored with Perl and would probably enjoy coding in Ruby or D or even Crystal.

California is America's tech capital. Why is its vaccine website such a mess?
Yeah, I do like working with Tailwind and PurgeCSS and that setup works great. It's a good way of avoiding the unused CSS problem in the first place.

The problem for me is digging into a large existing codebase which has built up thousands of semantic class names and a bunch of nesting in the CSS. I'd like a tool that could tell me what's probably not being used, which I could then use as a starting point for some clean up.
April First.
Well I suppose if a warp core is the only reactor powerful enough to produce enough of the right kind of power to power the nacelles it's probably still an apt name. I mean there's plenty of times in the series where the warp core stops working, but all the lights are still on. So presumably there's a primary power generator somewhere for everything that isn't warp drive.
So is Rust. Does Rust has an enforcement flag for RAII-only?

Rust has manual memory management too.

If someone uses Modern C++, he must learn to use RAII.

Sometimes I wonder if these articles are real or from The Onion. Why would someone doing research want to integrate something that literally makes a penny (1 GRD == 0.010754 USD). The real money is in grants. Write up a good grant proposal and you can get tens of thousands of dollars.

I'm not the biggest fan of crypto, but I do acknowledge its success in certain areas. I'm just puzzled why so many people think its the solution to every problem.
It's entirely my opinion, but certainly I consider the example you used to be not at all to my taste; indeed actively bad to read. I completely agree with Fry on that point.

I stand by my assertion that most modern poetry is to be avoided, especially for someone introducing themselves to the form.

I try to read every night before going to bed, and I'm trying to alternate between a technical book, and a pleasure book.

I recently finished the whole lot of Foundation from Asimov, Zero to sold from Arvid Kahl and I'm currently reading "The wealth of Nations" from Adam Smith (Gotta admit, it hurts).

The motivation behind alternating between pleasure and technical is to try to increase my knowledge (even though I feel like I retain 1% of what I read), and to enjoy reading too (with the pleasure book)

On my to read next list, I have:

- High growth Handbook (Elad Gil) (Pleaure book)
- Utopia - Thomas More (Technical)
- Beyond the rift - Peter Watts (Pleasure)
- Manufacturing consent (Noam Chomsky) (Technical)
- Children of time - Adrian Tchaikovsky
