Yes these things happen, humans are judgmental and leery of being associated with people who are undesirable in the eyes their peer group and the specific biases of that group - so it isn't always fair. That is life and has always been true.

However, the term "canceled" itself is more typically about a specific and recent set of peers and biases - people on the right who are angry that people on the left are telling them to stop using the f-g or n-word, etc or angry that guys are getting outed for doing exactly the rape-y crap they themselves did and normalized and probably celebrated when they were in college.

Now, I honestly don't know if Louis CK should have had his career ended because he was pervy (pulled his junk out a lot, right? I get these stories confused), but that is more a function of social media being a huge, new megaphone for ostracizing people, not that the left is on some spectacular cancel rampage as it is normally characterized. We do need to grapple with how to deal with this new megaphone, I agree.

However, again, mostly this angst is not about a genuine desire to be good citizens and calling out dangerous corner cases. If it were, we'd be having a very different and much more constructive conversation. Most of this angst is really about the right wanting to keep being the right and going back to good old days, defensively dismissing the way the good old days were actually pretty terrible for a lot of people and we've learned a lot about how to be better humans. Of course there are cherry picked examples (in a population of 7B you can probably found thousands). But those examples don't change the underlying dynamics and motivations of what is going on here on average*.
This is why I find standups (and other ceremonies) patronizing and exhausting. It's like you have to publicly defend yourself and your work every single day. There's a massive difference between setting up accountability for yourself and having your manager/team/etc impose a public accountability ritual on you. Doubly so because it's usually billed as being about "visibility" or "alignment" or something else, as if it isn't about mico-level "accountability".
> Leave a gate behind you the way you first found it.

Not sure this one is generally applicable. When I'm out running are walking trails I always close gates unless there appears to be specific reason not to. Some people carelessly leave them open, some do so accidentally, some mistakenly think it should be left open because it was when they went through but there has been a steady flow if people leaving it for the next one and the first opened it.
The days of confirming a person's identity by testing their knowledge on the person's metadata are long past (if they ever existed in the first place).

I don't know what the best solution to this will look like, or if society will ever try to implement one. A lot of people are against having a Federal ID. A private solution will have its own set of problems.

The good news is, its the responsibility of the place that's issuing the credit to do due diligence of confirming an identity. If someone steals your private details and gets approved for a line of credit using them, life will suck for a bit while you sort it out, but you'll never actually owe that money (no matter what the debt collectors tell you).

Completely agree about flying: but I wonder about the wheel.

A spider-carriage walking robot which could step around the valuable plants, climb steeper hills, and wouldn't dictate a row-and-plow approach to agriculture, that could be pretty compelling. Less soil compaction, more flexibility, could work inside forested regions as well. It has potential.
In Rust I get two nice things:

• Instant, reliable cancellation. I can drop a Future at any time, and it won't do any more work, and cleans everything up. Racing multiple things is easy.

• Ability to mix network-bound and CPU-bound tasks, and have both resources fully utilized at the same time. With threads if I sized threadpool for CPU cores, it'd be underutilizing CPU when doing I/O. If I sized it for connections, it'd hammer the CPU. An async scheduler has CPU threadpool + any number of connections it wants.
What you can buy instead is 99% based on personal preference, I cancelled the model 3 and got a BMW because I liked the few I had before. But my co-founder would never drive a BMW. He returned his second model S and got an Audi EV instead. Which is not a car I would pick.

My point is that a model 3 isn't really a luxury car, it's an entry model and has the build quality and options that go with that.

I have no quarrel with the assertion that computing is one of if not the single most important field to learn in modern society; what I am suspicious of is that there's any long-term performance benefit of making children learn "pre-computing" through iPad apps at an age where they're not ready to learn real computing.

Of course if a particular child shows great initiative and engagement with pre-computing, they'll do well with real computing, but then why not just start with computing? For the ones that don't care, why not let them continue reading books they enjoy and playing outside?

That's how American children learn to read and write. It's not how Russian children used to learn to read and write; they started school much later, and immediately began fairly mature studies of classic Russian literature and poetry (Pushkin, for example).
It's useful for when you need a loop and a secure knot that won't slip or become undone. Basically where you would do a regular knot but need more knot strength.

I've used it for securing crab pods, pulling out a small tree, hanging decorations from ceiling hooks, as the front anchor for strapping down things to the top of my car, connecting lines to kites and tying the tea bag string to the handle of my coworkers mug as a prank to name a few uses of the top of my head.

I've also used it for climbing in certain situations but I would highly recommend learning the figure 8 and using that for all climbing things related.

Conversely, further increased evaporation > even more water vapor > increased precipitation > fewer clouds.

In areas like startups, where family connections, early education, family environment, and fallbacks, matter, yes.

But the 20th century was full of people from poor backgrounds (includings immigrants arriving with 0 dollars) making it in e.g. arts. So much so, that the "starving artist" is a cliche.

The last condition of the exclusion criteria is "Use of tobacco or nicotine containing products in excess of the equivalents of 5 cigarettes per day or 2 chews of tobacco per day", which seems somewhat related.
> count++, ptr++

Also, you should avoid this; it adds a extra addition per iteration for no real benefit. Try:

p = ptr - 1 # also avoid branching[0] over p++
body:
p++
if *p != 0 goto body
return p - ptr

0: I assume a single addition is cheaper than a unconditional branch, which is probable, but not nearly as big a difference as with conditional branches.
Driving in all conditions requires the computing power of a human brain. When we have computers that powerful, we can talk about L5.

Ah my bad, I think I misunderstood your comment. I was reaffirming this:

> wasm can still be JITimed and get close to native performance

I’m also not super familiar with this subject, so I unfortunately don’t understand the distinction you’re making between source and target.

> Seems like it's not really providing the needed tools and you'd have to build a lot of basics on top of it

My understanding is that this is accurate, and folks like the Bytecode Alliance[0] are working on building that ecosystem of tools on top of WASM, and I see wasmtime as being one of those tools.

I have done therapy and also CBT. Part of it was in a group setting. It was pretty successful for some in the group but for others like me it did nothing. I have come more and more to the conclusion that some people are naturally not good at math and others aren’t good in social situations. I am sure there are therapists who could help me do better but finding therapists and working with them is by itself a very energy draining and exhausting process. If I had infinite money and time it may be easier but repeatedly investing a lot of trust, time, energy and money into a therapist that doesn’t work out is exhausting and depressing.

Over the years I have found a way to live my life in an OK manner. There are some things in life that aren’t accessible to me but there are plenty of other things I can experience that are rewarding too. I am lucky that my social anxiety and autistic traits aren’t extreme and I have enough intelligence to understand things. Other people have it way worse.
> Again, you're off on a tangent talking about the Github review UI and not git branching strategies.

> I use it every day to manage large PRs on a large project, and it's fine.

I feel like you're becoming borderline disingenuous here. I demonstrated how Github is not fine, it's actually quite deficient, regardless of your branching strategy. The title of TFA is literally "Stacked Diffs versus Pull Requests". Here's the second line of TFA:

"People who have never used it and only use Pull Requests with GitHub/GitLabs generally don’t understand what the fuss is all about."

I'm beginning to believe you're those people.

> Pick the tools that work for you, adapt to the ones that work for your codevelopers, and don't start fights. Calling someone else's tool garbage helps nothing but your upvote count.

I'm not looking to pick a fight here, I'm honestly not sure why any sane person would defend the Github PR workflow. Beyond "it exists" it really doesn't have much going for it.

I call it Garbage because that's how I see it. And I hope others see it that way too. And I hope that we as an industry work to build tools that are not Garbage and I hope that those folks mentioned in the article learn to use and experience other tools and realize there is A Better Way to do things. We don't all have to put up with mediocre software.

If I see a friend eating literal garbage, I would tell them "hey, you're eating literal garbage, maybe you should stop" and not just keep it to myself.

What does the debt buy them? If it buys them increased growth why even care? Assuming you can grow forever, you can get into infinite debt.

> unless your job is writing a load balancer or DB engine, few people need that much concurrency. I've seen production services that take several concurrent requests on average.

But Rust is aimed at exactly that space and embedded, so it needs a way to express this kind of code in an efficient way. It is true that you can go use threads instead and it might be easier to get something working, but if async/await already exists, you might as well take advantage of it. This is why you will see libraries that don't need to be async, written using async.
> Pfizer is keeping schtum about the detail of the lab tests it has completed but says it has demonstrated “potent in vitro antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2”, as well as activity against other coronaviruses, raising the prospect of a cure for the common cold as well as future pandemic threats.

I have wondered if the COVID-19 pandemic might lead to some results, like extermination of the common cold, that humans would look back on and say that it was a net benefit. Something along the lines of, "yes, 4 million people died, but in fighting COVID-19 we created highly-effective therapeutics for the flu and common cold. Over the following 10 years, these inventions saved 4 million lives and saved 15 million days of lost work/school".

It's hard to think about these things as we are going through the pandemic, but hopefully there will be some good that comes of it. (Of course, it's also possible that by thinking we've 'cured' the common cold, we will open ourselves up to a once-a-century pandemic, where millions are wiped out by what used to just be a common cold.)
Which is a perfect example of how nothing is truly apolitical.
I think the idea is novel, but for my company (even if I regard it as competent) most of Risks section of 10k is just CYA.
I certainly agree with that, but I also believe that the "writing off" is a the direct result of a system that takes it upon itself to distill the utter chaos of human knowledge into a learnable "system" that can be fed to humans of different ability levels.

"Teaching kids computing through iPad apps" sounds like more systematic reduction. The kids that don't get it won't care, and the kids that do get it would have got regular computing, too.
`spctl --master-disable` requires root permissions (sudo).

I feel like a lot of the advice on overcoming loneliness puts all of the onus on the individual to make friends through talking to people and joining groups etc. and yes, obviously you won't overcome loneliness through inaction, but I really wish there was more talk about how social structures are a major component to the ease with which we make friends, and how we could potentially redesign social structures to facilitate that.

for instance, the reason why it's easier to make friends in college is literally because college is set up for lots of serendipity and rubbing elbows in ways that post-college isn't. are there fun experiments we could try in order to design for organic interaction outside of an institution like a school or workplace? I've thought a little bit about this but it would be fun to have larger-scale convos about it.
This is not the main point of the criticism. The issue is that she raised millions in money that was not used for her cause of taking care of suffering people in India. Instead, the bulk of the money was sent to religious causes and to the Vatican.
In a hot industrialized war (one that isn't wildly asymmetric), a supply line has so many soldiers' lives depending on it that having the transports manned or not is insignificant. But I think I know the general concept you are getting at, I'd call it the wartime risk economy: when a large percentage of your combat aircraft sorties don't return, it becomes reasonable to operate the engines much closer to the limits of reliable operation than in peace time. The extra performance can save more pilots than the occasional engine failures caused by the emergency operation mode cost.
Having read your comments in the thread I get where you are coming from, but can you please not do it like this? It doesn't help. It just gives people more reason to reject the point of view you're trying to defend.

Just this morning I probably had 8oz of hash browns, three strips of bacon, an egg and half a pancake with butter. Plus a mocha frap.

Granted, I'm medically prescribed a high fat diet. But there are people who eat that way, sometimes because they work hard and are big guys, so 2000 calories a day would be a starvation diet.

Right. The consequence is present without the premises. Any discovered alien life would likely be vastly different or at least vastly technologically progressed.

From what I read, it seems that:

1. The DFPI has existed since 2013 (when it was formed by the merger of two other agencies). It used to be called the DBO. It was renamed to DBO in 2020, but it is not new.

2. The California Consumer Financial Protection Law (CCFPL) is a recent law that gives the DFPI new powers and responsibilities.

3. The introduction of CCFPL did not change the accuracy or inaccuracy of the 'bankruptcy dischargeability provision language'. The CCFPL just made it the DFPI's job to stop any inaccuracies.

Is that correct?
> Me: First, why would I ever want that? It’s bad enough YouTube now keeps playing videos in a little thumbnail when I try to exit them. Second, why are you charging a monthly fee for a feature that ought to just come with your app?

It makes sense - Google can't run YouTube without ads. Ad buyers, which have ads in video form, don't want to run ads when the user isn't looking at the content nor able to easily click on their link to convert them to a paying customer (plus google never gets paid as the user probably won't switch to the app just to click the ad). They either do this or ask advertisers to make ads specifically for audio-only streams (which still makes it hard to drive conversions), but then they'd have to charge advertisers for impressions which Google has very rarely done.
Probably me. Waymo may already be in most situations.

I drive about once or twice a year, always in a rental, and consequently never really know how well my car handles or its dimensions. That, plus generally being rusty, tends to make me fairly nervous.

In the U.S. at least, property taxes are normally treated as part of the mortgage payment.

Here's a very (terribly) high level technology overview from the company we were working with: https://g-neighbor.com/gni-technology/

> The reason a plant is green is because it reflects green light and for photosynthesis a plant uses blue light. Overloading the blue frequency range disrupts the enzymes in the photosynthetic process, which cuts off the food supply to the plant and it dies. Some herbicides overload the metabolic system of the plant and makes the weed burn from the inside out. I thought that overloading the photosynthetic system would maybe do the same thing.
To me, the title is overly wordy: "Experian is still a joke"
I think it's not so much the total calories, but the sheer amount of fat. That is, if we send the pill down your GI tract with 1/4 of grease, will it still work?

Presumably their "high-fat" condition has to be fattier than any reasonable person would eat on a regular basis, so that it establishes a useful upper bound. If it was just a couple eggs and hash browns, then finding it's still effective wouldn't be useful because some people eat fattier breakfasts than that.
The advice “see a therapist “ is often valid but by itself pretty clueless. If you ever have dealt with therapists you know that a lot of them aren’t very good. And finding one you click with can be very exhausting and expensive expensive. I have done this for a few years and it was one of the most depressing things I have done in my life.
