Yes, I’m here to ruin your life.

Not a hyperbolic statement at all, much like your definition of “activists.”
There's also the possibility that you believe the testimony of the accusers, but what they allege is not sexual assault. What exactly is Pretty being accused of? The two women's statements talk a lot about how their relationship with Pretty left them feeling used and objectified. But they're pretty sparse when it comes to detailing an actual instance of sexual assault. This is where Vic describes her relationship with Pretty:

> What followed was an on-and-off long-distance relationship in late 2015-2017. He visited me on his terms when it was convenient for his nomadic lifestyle. I quickly grew to feel isolated and objectified by him. As a non-native English speaker, I often felt manipulated, but I found it hard to articulate why. He wanted to constantly monitor my activities. He habitually criticized my lifestyle choices and diminished my self-esteem.

Pretty only wanted casual sex at his convenience, and his relationship with Vic left her feeling criticized. A bad boyfriend? Sure. A sex crime? Not even remotely. Yifan's allegation that Pretty had sex with her when she was drunk comes closer, but she's still vague about it.

I don't think Pretty really has much of a hill to climb. I believe the allegations, but at the same time I believe Pretty is innocent of any crime. He probably seeks out inexperienced women, and presents greater commitment than he really harbors. Scummy? Yeah. Criminal? No. Worthy of ostracism? Maybe, but I'd want to hear his side of the story first.
I had a coworker once who was proud that he didn't know how to use a debugger. It was something about being able to statically analyze a program without dropping into a debugger that conveyed his superior skill. He only used print statements.

For me personally, I use both print statements and the debugger extensively. When I'm wrangling a hard to understand bug, I'll litter my code with print statements and then once I find a problem area I'll set a breakpoint. When I have more information, I'll even set a conditional breakpoint - I can't imagine wading through a lot of print statements after a few iterations when you know exactly which conditions will trigger your bug.
And an abused boy could well become an abuser in the future. Sad but true

Are you talking sexual abuse? If so, then references please.

There are a lot of ways that abuse goes down the generations. For example girls who were abused are more likely to get together with abusive men as adults. But I've encountered zero evidence that victims of pedophiles are particularly likely to become pedophiles themselves when they grow up.

I have personal reasons to be interested in the topic, so I spent a lot of time at one point looking for evidence that sexually abused boys were likely to become sexual abusers as adults. I have concluded that such evidence both doesn't exist, and it isn't true. Had I known that when I was younger, I could have avoided a whole lot of guilt and self-hatred.

Freshwater depletion is unlikely to be a real problem in any developed country. State-of-the-art desalination plants in Israel are fulfilling contracts for hundreds of thousands of people at ~$0.40/m^3 [1], so $0.40 per thousand liters. The per-capita water usage in the US is ~1200 m^3/yr including all indirect water such a industrial, food and food exports [2], with peer nations such a Germany using ~300 m^3/yr, and Israel using ~130 m^3/yr. That amounts to a ~$480/yr increase in yearly expenditure per American which is a ~1.4% increase in base expenditure for the average American which by most metrics would constitute a fairly moderate expense especially for something as critical as food or water. This also assumes that the increase in water prices would not result in a change in water habits similar to other peer countries which are using a fraction of the water per-capita or Israel whose people have already adapted their lifestyles to the expense of desalination.

About the only conceivable problems for developed countries relate to scaling up global desalination by a factor of 100x-1000x. However, given the existing scale and maturity in the industry, I find it fairly unlikely that it would not be possible to scale up while maintaining existing prices given a reasonable lead time. Given that it is highly unlikely that any country would preferentially choose to deprive their citizens of water or food unless there were no other choice, this reduces the problem of freshwater depletion to just a problem of power generation and a problem of how to solve it for less-developed countries who might not have the resources to engage in mass desalination. However, I will declare those problems to be out-of-scope for this discussion as they are complex topics in their own right with various proposed solutions and tradeoffs.

In theory sure, but not so much in practice. The east coast of the US dumps a lot of fresh water into the ocean, but trying to transport it to the Midwest is pardon the pun a herculean task.
A cursory web search says first time conviction of possession alone is up to 1 year in jail or a $5k fine. Not that long IMO.

The long sentences start with intent to distribute.
I think using the example that you did to showcase the failings of a public court wasn't a fair comparison for the reason I said.
Huh this is actually a kind of interesting idea. So basically if `git stash apply` had a --patch or --interactive mode?

So the flow would be:

<working on big change churn churn churn>
> git stash
> git stash apply -p
<pick some things to have in working tree>
> make test
> git commit -a -m "First change!"
> git stash apply -p
<pick some more things>
...repeat...

?

I could get behind that, and I personally like the index.

Laptop Zen 3 is already equal in multicore perf to the M1 for the same wattage IIRC. While being on 7nm still. Don't underestimate AMD.
for poorly written python code that is just too large to add the many print statments.. I run it using trace and pipe to a log.. ofc pdb is awesome too.. provided it crashes so I can work in the stack trace..

for bash I do something similar by using set -x and a custom PS4 prompt that gives me file function and line number..

in my own code I have info, warn, error and debug log lines (for both bash and python).. so I rarely have to resort to enabling trace..
Kudos to suhail and others who pulled this off. The biggest challenge Mighty has, is that its offering a technical solution to a very technical problem, which many users dont fully understand.

On one end of the spectrum, we have the tech savvy users who would more likely care a lot about privacy, security and not have another layer in the middle which could potentially undermine it. On the other end of the spectrum, we have users who wont really understand the difference between slow computer and slow internet. I am not sure, how mighty can make it any faster.

The biggest challenge here is to educate the market you're going after. I see more of a B2B play here, where companies could use mighty instead of sending heavy client laptops to employees.
product solves a valuable problem so interested to see how the market reacts. Not gonna make any assumptions about price as that's up to the market to decide. i personally don't have problems with chrome so I obviously wouldn't pay that anything for it but other people might.

This is a bit like Superhuman. Who will pay $30 a month for faster gmail? Turns out a lot of people and they love it. Sure a lot of people won't and will continue using free email services but those that do really value it and give it a high NPS.

I see this being similar, people who spend a lot of time in Chrome and for who the improved speeds are highly valuable in both terms of opportunity cost will not think of $30 as 'too expensive'.

The other thing is customer service, like Superhuman, with a $30 a month price tag you can actually give good customer service.

Finally, at this price tag you only need about 275,000 customers and you have $100m ARR. I don't know how long the Mighty wait list is, I do know Superhumans was last reported as 275,000.

Only time and the market will tell, but I'm really bullish on this company doing great things.
"Son, I want to talk to you about something.

You're getting older and obviously you're interested in sex. Being sexual is a healthy and normal part of being human. Know that I support you if you are gay, straight, non-binary, binary, etc... I love you because you are you and that will never change.

As your father, it is important to me that you are a kind and caring person. Kindness comes in many forms, many of which are obvious. Such as lending your arm to an elderly woman trying cross a busy, snow-covered street, for example. Kindness is also being generous to and patient with your partner before, during, and after sex. It is being aware of their needs and desires as well as what they don't like.

To that end; nobody, and I mean nobody, should be forced to have sex. If your partner doesn't clearly consent to having sex with you then it is forced. To do otherwise is an act of violence--the opposite of kindness. If you are unsure about whether your partner wants to have sex then they don't.

It is my sincerest hope that one day you find someone who you will fall in love with and who will fall in love with you. When you do, you will find that kindness plays an important role in that. Because sometimes that person will treat you poorly. They will be angry, short, and disrespectful to you. And you will do the same to them. That is part of being in a healthy relationship. It's unpleasant but it's how we grow. One thing I have learned in the years spent with your mother is that returning such anger and disrespect with kindness goes a long way towards developing a deep and lasting bond with one another.

Know that I am always available to you if you have any questions about sex, or any other subject for that matter. I know it's uncomfortable to talk about this right now. It is for me too. But it will get easier the more we talk about it so come to me anytime you feel you need to."
I like hearing different accents. I'm Southern and have a slight accent, but there are many different Southern accents. My father grew up with a thick Southern Alabama accent, but he took speech classes to get rid of it before I was born. I really like hearing the Boston accent too. Deep Louisiana accent is great. I like hearing both James Carville and the LSU coach talk.

On a side note, money can't buy class.

A good friend of mine works a logistical analysis job that involves dealing with a lot of warehouses and warehouse workers. There is a saying in the offices of his company that goes: "Get your head out of the warehouse!" This is a play on the popular "Get your head out of the gutter" and is jokingly used in the offices when people say something considered lewd/offensive.

This company brags about its major focus on "diversity" and "helping the underprivileged", but no one bats an eye when "warehouse worker" is used synonymously with "gutter trash".

This company is also shocked--just shocked!--that so few warehouse workers sign up for their "career transformation" program that promises to help educate warehouse staff for office jobs. Because why wouldn't they want to get away from their dirty, dirty warehouse? /s

This is such a huge issue in America, and I feel there's far too little conversation about it. I'm happy to see these kinds of studies shed a bit of light on it.
TL;DR

> Donaldson was in a hurry, so she says she signed their clipboard and watched as they hung a small, black mosquito capture cup from a tree in her yard.

> “I don’t even know what I signed. I just signed my name,” she said. “I was like ‘Oh, mosquito control, yeah whatever.'”

> Oxitec says the mosquitoes, all males — which don’t bite humans — will then breed with wild females, which do bite. But they’ll pass on the OX5034 gene, a hereditary payload that prevents any female offspring from reaching adulthood. The theory is that the more the gene-hacked mosquitoes and their descendants reproduce, the fewer biting female mosquitoes there will be in the area.

> This real-world experiment, which is scheduled to begin imminently, will target the mosquito species Aedes aegypti. These bugs only make up two to four percent of the mosquito population in the Florida Keys, but they’re associated with nearly all cases of mosquito-borne illnesses. Oxitec says the trial could help stop the spread of insect-borne diseases that affect humans, like dengue and Zika, by preventing the bugs that carry them from surviving.

> The mosquitoes released [...] carry two copies of the gene, but because they’re mating with females in the wild, their offspring only get one. That means fewer and fewer will carry the OX5034 trait until it gets filtered out of the wild altogether.

Unless what I'm reading are outright lies, I would welcome this if I lived in the area.
Seems equivalent to a

git add -p # Review and stage
git commit # Create commit
git stash # Save uncommitted changes
run_tests.sh # double-check
git stash pop # or drop

I'll do something like occasionally, but mostly I just rely on the CI to double-check me.
An interesting side effect here is that people are opting for domestic alternatives. We are in the process of remodeling our house and were going to get our windows from Italy and our heat pump system from Japan, but given the long lead times for container unloading (sometimes as much as 6 weeks on the west coast in addition to the 4 week voyage) we opted for American windows and a Carrier heat pump system (at higher cost).

No it doesn't, and it's not like you don't need to route messages travelling terrestrially. Anyone even vaguely familiar with the technology knows that what you're saying is straight-up false.

I'm lactose intolerant and I miss milk greatly. It doesn't help that I also have a mild reaction to nuts, so almond milk is out.

Oatmilk is just meh.

Best I've found for cheese substitute so far is a brand called follow your heart from Sprouts. It is only good if really well melted on toast, otherwise it's very much unsavory. Stay away from the mild cheddar and Gouda, both are really bad. The provolone is ok, the American is ok as well.
Specific design questions, yes. The "45 minute to design a system" ones, not so much. The hard part of those is not getting too bogged down in details, and this just means I have one more, extremely important, likely unappreciated by the interviewer, detail I can get bogged down in: what happens when things fail.

The fact that Android Play Store had apps like that all the way back to the earliest days is precisely why some of us have an Android phone rather than an iOS one. There are full-fledged Lua, Python, C++, Java etc IDEs there.
In a physics or maths class that seems impossible unless the prof is teaching directly from distributed notes or the text book. Some of the better classes I had were those where the prof just gave out their notes and we could focus on what was said rather than writing it out, in that case if you zone out it's your fault.
>The trouble with most of these 3D building systems is that there's no tamping

I would call that a feature. Building forms is basically building the entire building out of wood (or metal), then building it again out of concrete. Single family homes or multi-unit low rises don't require low void high compressive strength. They need speed. Residential prefab never caught on in North America. Maybe this will. If it is cheap.
this worries me too:

"the EPA never asked Oxitec to conduct any caged trials — experiments that would show how well the mosquitoes perform in a controlled environment — before allowing the company to go ahead and send its insects out into the world."

that seems a bit nuts
Revenue is up 46% to $4B for Q1 2021. But the costs to close the biggest deals must be gargantuan. Anthos dev & sales alone probably requires a substantial bet ;)
Maybe the magic is just the discipline to somehow keep tuning and optimizing everything across the chip. Year after year they release another power-sipping design with another 10-20% performance. It's not a sudden tsunami, but an ever rising tide.
Wow what the heck kind of videos are you watching?! Nevermind, I don't think I want to know.
What do you mean by "secure?" I said I'm skeptical that it was accurate. And willing to change my mind, if you've got a link to comprehensive analysis showing that it's accurate and didn't, say, systematically undercount undocumented immigrants.
If this is really the future, and users are willing to pay $300+/yr for 16gb of RAM, device manufacturers could eat Mighty's lunch by selling laptops with dedicated browser RAM.

It's sort of analogous to "thrashing" in computer software.

Once a resource is overtaxed past a certain point, the inefficiency of being in an overtaxed state causes the system to handle the load even worse than in normal conditions, which exacerbates the overload, causing it to get worse ad infinitum.

Hot dang you're absolutely right - I'd never discovered this package before:

I know how credit cards work. I'm saying that Ethereum fees could be priced in the same way and you'd also never notice them because they'd get aggregated over every purchase. I realize this isn't a realistic scenario, but I think it's ignoring a monopoly type situation to accept that credit cards can price their costs in and other types of transactions cannot.
