Yeah life as a weird tendency to not turn out like one anticipates :)
I assume the percentage would be higher if it just showed an actual comparison of upload/download speeds, bandwidth caps, and price. This poll may be just showing whether the consumers even know what "municipal broadband" means.

Probably also colored with people's perceptions of how sticky "bundles" they already have for TV and phone are, how they would get their cable channels, etc.
Spaces is here, let’s chat
Is it really trackable though? AFAIK the argument is "Only Russia has the sophistication to create such a poison that we can't tell what exactly is, therefore it must be Russia".

In hindsight, it seems like really good way operating. Russia has plausible deniability as it's not factually proven that it is them but everyone thinks that it is, therefore they earn notoriety points that can make other think twice before doing something that Putin might not like.

Russia also gets mythical literature regarding its capabilities, which means that you can fear them as much as you like. It's intellectually fascinating that KGB and now Russa developed that almost magical substance.

Odourless, colourless substances that are harmless and undetectable create extremely potent poison when come together. This creates an opportunity for drama that would give the chills in any spycraft thriller movie. Just imagine knowing that the target was tagged with one of the substances and will die once comes in contact with the other one. A substance that will do nothing to no one else but the tagged person, it creates such a tension. You can imagine the paranoia if this is an actual possibility for you.
US education: Those asymptomatic sweethearts are largely languishing, at least the ones in part-time distance learning environments. This has not been the case for those kids that could afford to attend private schools as many have been attending classes at school for most/all of the entire school year.
So you've got private school kids on track and public school kids with stunted academic development because why, exactly?
I wish I’d done it sooner but happy with what I’ve got.
You probably have to differentiate risk. I assume for some risks associated with smoking there is a linear correlation with exposure, where it's on/off for others, or e.g. following a logarithmic function.

Nicotine, CO and radioactive toxicity have a long half-life, where primary radical damage or reactive carcinogen burden is dose dependent stochastics.

Also people forget, you are much, much more likely to die from cardio-vascular damage or COPD as a consequence of smoking, than lung cancer.
It'll be educational to see how this plays out. My perspective is that cryptocurrency-related technology often succeeds or fails based on high-precision technical correctness, and that large funding rounds may (intentionally or otherwise) prioritize speed and growth over observance of small details.

Perhaps the infrastructure does exist to engineer software as precisely as could be required here - or perhaps this fund will produce suitable tools as an evolutionary side-effect.
>The transaction fees and the constant $a$ would have to bee chosen such that you couldn't turn a profit by sending lots of money to yourself. But I think that would allow for a fair system with a good incentive structure.

What if the goal isn't to profit from block rewards but to attack the network, though? What if you pass stuff around over and over between tons of addresses you own? (Any person can create an unlimited number of addresses, pretty much instantly.)

Even if by the end the total transaction fees result in a heavy loss being incurred, the attacker would only do it if they think they can gain more from the network attack than they'd lose in fees.

I think a secure blockchain system can never make any kind of assumption that 1 address = 1 person/entity or 1 transaction >= 2 people/entities. I think depending on addresses or transactions in any way is probably a non-starter.

One of the key anti-Sybil features of Proof of Work, Proof of Space, and Proof of Stake is that it solely relies on a single scarce, unfakeable, totally fungible resource. The network cares about only one fungible variable: the total amount of computational power, or hard drive space, or funds in the network. That way, it makes no difference if the attacker has 1 address or 1 million addresses.
It is pretty much an MVC separation that was mainstream in OOP-based GUI frameworks since the 90s at least.

But instead of “state”, you have a model, which uses the Observable pattern to notify the view of changes.
The question is not runtime vs compile time.

The question is whether you do the meta programming/code generation within the language or as external tool. Code bloat is an issue in both cases.

Macros make it easy to write code which generates code which generates code which... This enables some wonderful use cases, often around generating type declarations. If done with an isomorphic language, you can also reuse the same code for compile time and runtime implementations with just thin wrappers.

External code generators however will build faster because the build system takes care of reusing the intermediate code.
I guess things are getting better.

OP: I have no idea why, but the name of this posting was changed from "How Ayahuasca change my perspective on life and God" to simply "How Ayahuasca changed my perspective"

Also, the post abruptly dropped in ranking on the front page after the name change, it seems to have been de-ranked dramatically... Strange

Because almost no burglaries are down to locks being picked.

Even cheap locks are good enough that in most installations they are not the weak link.
The thing though is that it's not super easily traced back to Russia. Other countries have for sure synthesized it, sometimes even in public literature.

It doesn't fill that same niche as Po-210 where it can be traced back to the origin so clearly.
I've been on Starlink for a few months. It's honestly been a pain in my ass, and nowhere near as reliable as Comcast. But I am being patient and waiting, because right now it's worth it to me just to tell Comcast to fuck right off. Starlink has been improving though quite a lot just since I got it... so I'll keep giving it time.
I wanted to add that a lot of the people I know who are “vaccine hesitant” are just waiting a little longer to see how things go. I don’t see a whole lot of representation of folks who intend to get the vaccine this summer when I read publications and articles about it, but I would wager that there’s more people intending to get it but not quite yet than we think.

"a biological basis for the collective unconscious"

This is in fact what Jung believed... long before Oliver Sacks.
I recall hearing on a radio show a while ago about this topic a lawyer noting that a difference in these cases is that a retailer "takes a risk" in order to get the data, that is that they open up their storefront to this supplier, allocate space for them, and pay the supplier. The only way they learn that the supplier's product could be a success is by selling the suppliers product.

In contrast Amazon takes on zero risk. It snoops on the data of transactions, and then launches competing products.
People worry about the wrong things!

There is no conceivable scenario in which we lose access to modern technology. OK, in some far-fetched case we can't use complex electronics. Then what?

Well, no one need draft animals because there are still many gasoline and diesel engines around that run without electronics. Since we're not all driving cars around any more, our supplies of fuel will last at least until we can get pumpjacks and small refineries running again.

Believe it or not, the farmers can farm just fine without their $500k tractors, it just means they have to farm a lot smaller area with less output, but their skills will transfer just fine.

This is akin to "preppers" learning to make fire by rubbing sticks together: in what situation do they think they'll run out of matches and cigarette lighters?
Can you link to them? All I can find on such a search are identical tools for automobile locks- cannot find the tools for household locks he shows in the video.
> Yep, though if you really wanted it to be a string at runtime, you could use smart constructors to make it so. The downsides would be, unless you normalized the string (at which point, just use an enum TBH), you're doing O(n) comparison, and you're keeping memory alive, whether by owning it, leaking it, reference counting, [...].

Nit: it's more constraining but serde can deserialize to an &str, though that assumes the value has no escapes.

Ideally `Cow<str>` would be the solution, but while it kind-of is, that doesn't actually work out of the box: https://github.com/serde-rs/serde/issues/1852

That's what the new Motorala Razr is.
A useful thing to do when forking software is to give it a new name, to make it clear that it's a separate thing. It sounds like you copied some specific version of software you depend on, then forked it, but left the name the same -- which caused confusion by package builders at the distribution since it's a bit of work to determine if you forked the dependency or are just including it for non-distribution user's convenience.
While I respect that you’re facing a situation involving women, my advice above is directed to men dealing with other men, and my guidance does not vary based on the strategy used by bad men, so I don’t see any way to contribute productively to your line of reasoning.

All of the current pieces are sufficient for a team.

Or to put it another way, you have not made a business case for changing. But the case against changing is that change will disrupt operations. There’s more money in customer growth and product development.

At some point you might be lucky enough to be forced to change. Then it will be the right thing to do.
The flaw with these kinds of statements is that it assumes the 70% is uniformly distributed throughout a population. Obviously, if an entire town decides to avoid vaccination, it'll be vulnerable. Less obvious is if certain social circles don't get vaccinated such that things look geographically well mixed, but in terms of actual interaction patterns, not so much.

Reinfection and new variants surviving in networks like this imply COVID will be around for a very long time.
That would be ideal - we also have no evidence that is possible at all, or desirable with immune system behavior/interactions.

We'd need try to find out, which I personally think would be way better for everyone involved than many other things we spend money on. So take that as my vote for trying?
SLIME is another good example.
Well, that's a bit of a paper tiger. There's no cost to ignoring it, unless you have a dedicated European office or something like that.

Is that revenue from ad impressions? They did $1.3bn in their last public quarter, and in that earnings report they lump it in with homepage and sports in the one place it's mentioned, so I don't think it's particularly important (to them).

Also, what does it do that retail brokers don't offer better and for free now? News aggregation?
Those people may actually be able to offload stress, anxiety and worries...

I fear most evil folks sleep well at night.
Also «open somefile.txt» can open, well, any file or directory, just as if you double clicked it. It works on multiple files, too. And possibly URLs, but I don’t have a mac anymore to check.

SEEKING WORK | Richmond, VA | Remote

Contact: jesse@objectfactory.io

I'm a senior developer with over a decade of professional experience building things for the web.

I spent the last 7 years at digital agencies, where I had the opportunity to work with an extremely wide variety of technologies and companies. Late last year, I left to build a bootstrapped software company and have been filling out time with consulting engagements.

Primary Technologies: PHP (Laravel, Symfony, Drupal), Python (Django, FastAPI, Flask), JavaScript (Vue, React, Back-end Node), DevOps (Linux, Docker, AWS, nginx, etc)

Strengths:
* Application architecture.
* Working in legacy codebases.
* Strong UX instincts.
* Bridging the communication gap between technical and non-technical people.
* Teaching and mentoring junior developers.

Most recently built/designed everything you see at https://tidydom.com/ (Laravel & Node). Additional examples of work I've done for clients is available upon request.

I have up to 20 hours a week available starting June 1 for either retainer or ad hoc work.
See, I believe this is not a good enough argument.

This would be the same as excusing falling bridges and crashing planes on whoever's money speaking louder.

If the people who actually _build_ anything – the actual developers, engineers, etc. – don't build things up to standard or can't manage executive expectations, there's no hope; we'll live in a capitalocracy ruled by MBAs.

People building things need to care about the crap they ship because they'll have to use it too. There's way too many people in the industry not caring, just happy to collect a paycheck.
Why is it good that no more can be printed though? The value of all total goods in existence is not fixed, so why a currency where you don’t know how much you’ll able to buy with it in the future?
I don't think I've ever seen a lrb link that answers the question on the title. I stopped reading them.
To be fair everyone makes this mistake with every culture they are familiar with yet not experienced enough to understand the variety and nuance. We go with the stereotypes because there's some truth to it. For example, there is still to this day a big cowboy subculture in America, it's just not everyone. And no not everyone in West Philadelphia born and raised shoots bball after school but quite a few do.
100% agree but I think the motivation is not to purposefully be inaccessible but rather to get aesthetically pleasing stylings like code highlighting, font choice, editor theme, etc. People will always choose the pretty solution over the accessible one, unless forced to do otherwise. So, we need to make it easier (easier than screenshotting actually) to share code over text and yet keep all those sick styles you want. Just look at Medium for what NOT to do. Never have I seen a more hostile forum for code sharing. Look at GitHub for a decent example. There really isn’t a good example I’m aware of. Even highlight.js I have trouble getting my code to “scroll overflow” rather than wrap (which for code can be more problematic than it is for regular writing).
Disregard the style complaints, they make no sense. The tool seems super cool and I'd definitely give it a try if there was at least some sort of usage demo as it's not something that would let me do things I can't do already but something that would make it much more comfortable and to evaluate that I need to at least take a look at it.

>People are losing faith in the scientists because of their ever changing statements.

I'd say this perfectly illustrates the complete lack of understanding of how science works among the public. There is never one specific stance that will always be right and hold up to all scrutiny. It's just highly intelligent educated experts giving their best possible estimate based on current data. As the data evolves, so do the recommendations. People not understanding this is the root of the "experts know nothing" insanity.

"even in developed countries."

> Once I have all the data I need locally, it's MUCH faster to use pandas locally then to re-issue queries to a remote database.

Both of you are right.

Sure, if you need to grab a huge chunk of the entire database and then do tons of processing on every row that SQL simply cannot do, then you're right.

But when most people think SQL and database, they're thinking of grabbing a tiny fraction of rows, sped up by many orders of magnitude because it utilizes indexes, and doing all calculations/aggregations/joins server-side. Where it absolutely is going to be orders of magnitude more efficient.

Traditional database client API's often aren't going to be particularly performant in your case, because they're usually designed to read and store the entire result of a query in-memory before you can access it. If you're lucky you can enable streaming of results that bypasses this. Other times you'll be far better off accessing the data via some kind of command-line table export tool and streaming its output directly into your program.
Question: Why is go so integrated(?) with github? I mean, why can't I (or can I?) go get from my own personal gitlab server?
There's interestingly a couple of instances where governments have collapsed and the currency was still traded (Somalia, Kuwait).

There's definitely an element of "it's valuable because people think it's valuable". This might be working to Bitcoin's advantage.
