Yeah, they do suck. I also hate when someone uses an analogy to prove something... then someone else with opposite point of view tries to fix his opponent's argument and a thread ensues, which has two people discussing and refining a subject which is completely unrelated to initial question.

And also hate when people compare digital stuff to physical. Why the fuck are you comparing a linux kernel to a car...

This is not huge. This is quite small. Pandas can't handle data that runs into billions of rows or sub-second response on arbitrary queries. Both are common requirements in many analytic applications.

You're right. It's "huge" with respect to what you can expect to load into Pandas and get instant results from. But it's not even "medium" data on the small-medium-big spectrum.

I like Pandas. It's flexible and powerful if you have experience with it. But there's no question that SQL databases (especially data warehouses) handle large datasets and low latency response far better than anything in the Python ecosystem.

I agree with this 100%, but I think a lot of people missed it in my post.

Why? ffmpeg can do that, no need for a limited web app.
I didn’t say it’s impossible. We can optimize our time better, we can hire a nanny, she can stop breastfeeding at several months of age etc.
But do we want to?
It’s a personal/family
decision and it’s definitely based on circumstances and necessities.
Historically people have raised children in dire conditions.
Still would I rather do a startup or have a regular job while raising babies? I don’t think I would ever go the startup route.
Would I do a startup otherwise? Hell yeah.
You may think differently, but my bubble definitely leans towards either having babies or startups, not both - I know some failed marriages and/or startups while trying both. Of course, there is also the rare success in both (I know one such).
I can't imagine even an inner world surviving. If a star is ejected at 150,000 km/sec and Mercury got an acceleration one part in 7,500 more it would be ejected. Is the gravity field flinging the star really that flat over that much distance??
so Lockpicking Lawyer is a badass and has way more tool time than me. But lockpicking is surprisingly easy. He does it precisely and slowly, but it can be done much more aggressively and with less thought. Individually manipulating the pins is great but turns out aggressive imprecise raking works too, especially on cheaper locks. Lots of techniques out there.
"Ask me again in 10,000 years though" - PERFECT response.

I figure it'd take 10,000 years to gain enough knowledge to know what all your options are!

If the DO ask in 10,000 years, you should ask them what they are doing there and tell them not to bother you for a few hundred thousand years while you try a few things out.
The treatments don't exist yet apart from a few stem cell treatments e.g. for Parkinson's disease.

But there are clear criteria: there are the seven categories of cell damage proposed by Aubrey de Grey over a decade ago:

https://lostempireherbs.com/anti-aging-7-types-cell-damage/

If treatments are developed to tackle these types of damage then I suspect they will rapidly supersede conventional geriatric care in terms of cost and convenience, a significant side-effect being that the patient subsequently fails to die of natural causes.
Look into setting up your phone in supervised mode. I think you can do it using any Mac. Essentially you can make yourself an 'admin' of your phone that can strip away a lot of functionality. Like you can dictate what apps are installed and other neat things. It will require some digging into Xcode or the iPhone Configurator. I haven't done it myself, but it's an option!
There is no such thing as a lock. There are only timers accelerated by skilled attackers.

Same goes for encryption. Your AES-256 is great today, fine tomorrow, and probably broken in 10 years.

Think TurboTax, but for FDA compliance.

We’re building a software platform to handle the compliance aspects of running a drug or medical device company. Compliance is an ongoing activity for companies in this space, and annual costs per company range anywhere from $100K to $100M. Being deemed not compliant can be devastating, preventing a company from selling any new product for months and sometimes years.

In lieu of hiring costly consultants or employees to address this problem, customers provide our platform access to their data, and the platform outputs documentation in the manner that FDA and other regulatory agencies are looking for.

By using our software platform, customers will cut their annual regulatory costs by 50% (on average) and reduce the risk that their products will not get approved for sale.

My parents' only option for broadband right now is mobile hotspots. Unless you count traditional satellite internet, which I do not.

C# uses “var” to mean “infer the type”, nothing to do with mutability or not.

“Let” feels like some in-joke, coming from a math via lisp heritage of “let k be any number...” to distinguish it in English from the surrounding writing. I have to guess that in early lisp (= k 5) would be an error as k isn’t defined and (k 5) errors because k isn’t a function and (let (k 5)) comes out of need for a binding function and why not “let”.

In c-like languages “k=5” is an established binding that both programmers and compilers can deal with. What does “let k=5;” add to Rust over “k=5;” ?
Your newspaper can be as simple as a web site you create. There's almost zero cost of entry. It can be grown organically, as you develop a reputation for real journalism. Start small by specializing in articles on one topic like, say, what the city council is doing or what Boeing is doing. Become the go-to source of accurate information on that.

It'd be like the olden days when random people would print and distribute pamphlets like "Common Sense".
Who knows. They plan to shut them off so quickly it may not even be possible to build the necessary gas plants (of course they promised to replace them "mostly" with solar and wind, which is a complete joke and would require at least a decade of building at full speed, not a mere couple of years).
I blame meat consumption.

This video from Mark Rober was eye opening for me. As a meat eater myself I'm convinced that eating meat is unsustainable. It's just a matter of time until we can't keep up with demand and meat will become something only the 1% can afford.

That's a good insight but I think you're underselling things - most folks don't really have experiences of any sort from their <3 years. I think it's also pretty common for teens to consider themselves five or so years prior to be different people due to how fast you're maturing. When you're making a decision to choose which college to go to I think it's fair to view that as deciding what to do with the next third of your life from a teenager's perspective.

Why hire me:

6 years IT experience working with Unix and Windows based systems, Self taught entry level programming and
scripting. I am super passionate about Unix based systems specifically OpenBSD and FreeBSD. I love learning new
technologies but see the extreme value in the long term projects that have been around almost longer than I've been
alive. Young guy looking to learn, grow, and gain experience from others in the industry. Willing to accept when I
am wrong.

Why not to hire me:

Looking for a person that has been in the industry for over 7 years. You want a manager. Looking for someone a DBA.
I tried this myself too and when I try p2p with 4 people, out of 10 tests about 50% of the time I won't be able to see all 4 people or someone wouldn't be able to see all 4 people.

It was really hard to make p2p work and debugging the ice connections was even harder.
Can recommend something like this. You can even buy something with a timerlock. Atomic habits (book) gives this advice. The idea is that “bad” behavior shouldn’t be super easy.

I have a small cupboard with a key lock where I put some of the chocolates. Not saying I can’t have any, but walk around the house to get the key gives me enough time for meditation to ask myself Am I hungry, or do I really want some chocolate.
I mean, sure if someone invents a wonder drug that will be different. But for now we have people advocating for taking off label medications like metformin to increase longevity despite no trials showing that.

If you had done similarly in the struct example by passing in the function Bar to the caller then you could achieve similar functionality by shoving in a Baz function instead.

> There only being 21 million bitcoin doesn't matter because that can be subdivided into 100M Satoshis

It matters a little in some hypothetical world where we're actually using crypto instead of fiat currency. If you replaced all USD cash reserves with bitcoin, a Satoshi would have the same spending power of around 1.3 present day dollars. That's a kind of course unit, especially if we want to subdivide it into transaction fees and whatnot.
I was of the "live forever" ilk for a long time, but now I don't think I would. If you think about it when people say they would want to live forever, there are some disclaimers there. Such as: assuming society remains generally decent. Imagine being stuck in some horror show of a society where you are a heavily abused slave for centuries. Or maybe someone decides to imprison you in isolation for a really long time. Then there's the fact of seeing everyone you care about die, which would seem to get really old after a while.

Plus, I'm kinda developing an intense curiosity about what's after death. Maybe just the void. Maybe wakeup in a simulation to some dreary existence. Maybe float around on clouds with a harp. I have no idea and it drives me crazy sometimes! (not to curious, because what if the afterlife is awful!)

That’s fair, but perhaps there are also some parents that pay far more attention to their children than they really require or is even healthy for them.

I found this especially true with our first born, where once you have a second, you quickly realize you probably gave them just a tad too much attention than was necessary.

Children have been raised in situations with single parents, ones where one or both parents work full time, etc. Day cares are somehow able to manage with one teacher to 10+ young children. Have we been failing at child rearing since, well, the beginning of time?

I’m also not sure what garbage time with a < 2 year old would really be…they honestly don’t do much nor can they learn to do much at that age. Don’t get me wrong, plenty of meaningful ways to spend time with a child that way, I just don’t really know how you spend 8-12 hours a day giving focused attention to a 1 1/2 year old. But to each their own and not my place to judge anyone else’s parenting style.
How to create an intriguing intro for your blog article or social post
The interesting thing about the timeout genes, is that they are there for a "reason". It's a species' built-in population control mechanism to ensure that resources are spared for the younger generations. Evolution has put these genes in almost every living thing, to ensure that they eventually die.

So there is a "meaning" to death, when understood from nature.
