No one should consider using their emergency fund for anything other than emergency's, so I am not sure what your point it

The comment I was responding too talked specifically about saving money in a savings account for the purposes of buying expensive things like a car. It should go with out saying one should not use their emergency fund for these purchases (unless they are an emergency)

Once you have the 6mos to 1 year of expenses in your emergency fund you should divert any other cash to other accounts such as Debt Repayment (providing the debt is more than 5-7% interest or current inflation) and/or investments such as tax advantaged retirement accounts
There appears to be a rough consensus but it seems to have emerged relatively recently. I learned OCaml about two or three years ago and at the time the best tooling was Tuareg and Merlin in Emacs. Fortunately for me I love Emacs, but I found the Dune documentation poor and overall I got the sense that the OCaml production ecosystem (vs academic) is largely dictated by Jane Street these days, but the community is kind of quiet about the extent to which Core is the "real" standard library and the default stdlib is an academic curiosity. For one thing, the community seemed to be in a transition period between ocamlbuild and Dune, as the official resources recommended ocamlbuild and the community said everyone uses dune.

Good to hear this is changing, though.
Ok. But when working through a EoR, will the employee be employed by the EoR or the company for which the work is done?

And how is the situation when the employees come in from time to time (commuting across borders) but work the majority of their time in another country?

By "capturing" a client, many companies unwittingly become captive to the client.

By having clients who can't run away from you, you often limit yourself to the tech you can sell to them, instead of pursuing new superior alternatives.

Cisco, Oracle, SAP, IBM — all great examples of this.
1. Wikimedia foundation is doing literally nothing. It is painfully obvious that they should hire people who would sit all day and review actions of admins (their bans, reverts, edit wars.. yes admins participate in them too, but nobody does anything about it). Obviously we end up with a question "who watches the watchmen", but this could be made all public too.

For example Wikipedia has a role called CheckUser - what is a person that has special access rights to check IP addresses of all other users. This is mainly used to see if a person doesn't use multiple sock puppet accounts to make various types of abuse (e.g. vote manipulation).

I know a local Wikipedia, where the CheckUser literally refuses to check if admins don't have sock puppet accounts. This means that the admins can literally make any sock puppet they want and always win any vote, including future votes for a new CheckUser.

What can you do about it? Nothing.

Can you write about this to Wikimedia Foundation? Nope. There even isnt any official way to contact them. They basically let local Wikipedia branches run themselves.

2A. You write a lot of text to defend literal garbage. That admin added 80 THOUSAND incredibly low effort redirects related to woman breasts.

"Titty tumors", "Segmental removal of the titties", "Constructions of the booby", "Hypoplastic tits", "Atrophy of the titties"...

Please explain to me how this is any good?

If a new user made such garbage, it would be speed deleted and the user IP banned immediately.

2B. So basically an experienced Wikipedia user still got their article speed deleted, had to fight to get it back.. and then somehow what I wrote is wrong. So to sum up, if you dont like the facts, you ignore the facts? I realy dont understand what is your point here.

3. Again, you seem to miss the point. Someone asked for an example of a political article that was problematic. So I provided an article. You can look at the edit history to see that there were literal wars about everything there.

Also in case of articles about living people, politicians etc. it is often quite clear that said politicians or their aides are the ones who are tasked with guarding the article, editing it.

> Please let us know how the article is not neutral.

Do you represent Wikipedia or Wikipedia foundation in any way?

> cramming a bunch of relatively arbitrary information into your brain

What? Most of the SAT is evaluating high school-level math, writing, and reading skills. It's not like they're asking you to memorize historical dates or names or poems or formulas. Maybe the relatively narrow part of the test on vocabulary falls into this category, but even those words are almost entirely things you'll just pick up if you like reading books. And, now that I'm looking into it, only 10 out of 52 questions in the reading section are even about vocabulary [1]. You can skip 9 of them and still get a 700 on reading/writing [2]. Assuming you get an 800 on math, that's a 98th percentile total score and a 90th percentile on reading/writing alone [3], with almost no vocabulary prep.

I agree about the high pressure aspect, there doesn't seem to be a good way around that.

You might have misunderstood GP's question: remains were found in this exact cave in 1939, they're wondering why there's such a gap in a cave known to have held fossils.

Dozens of remains have been found elsewhere in europe in the meantime. There have been so many such discoveries that the Wikipedia List of Neanderthal fossils doesn't even bother listing them, only a dozen "notable" finds.
Google Gets Serious About Two-Factor Authentication. Good
I don't know which part of Brazil you're from, or if this is a relatively new development (I've been away for 7 or 8 years now) but in Porto Alegre where I grew up and lived most of my life, I don't recall ever hearing anyone regarding the US as having won the Vietnam invasion.
I agree the worst of humanity comes out in war. We'll see what happens with China vs. US. I doubt we'd see nuclear at least, but maybe the new tactical weapons make that more likely.

I think the difference in our viewpoints might be that I don't think it would just be power our for a day.

I think it would be far far worse.

Explosions, power out for months. Exploding a pipeline much harder to repair.

cutting off chip supply with the precipitating attack on Taiwan so we can only access our onshore capacity, if there isn't a cleanroom breach taking weeks or months to recover. Or say an attack on ASML.

sewer services going out or changing the mix to make water not or less safe. Damns.

It's just such a huge amount of our day to day lives; even very simple out of date XP hacks take a while to patch, let alone something like the supply chain chip attack Bloomberg reported and never retracted - which is still weird in my mind and something I could totally see as a current reality on both sides with a long history of similar 3 letter behavior from US.
The Rant Against IQ
If I told you here is the sequence:
1
what is the next numbers?
You answer I don't have enough information,
maybe it is 1 1 1 ... or 1 2 3 etc
So the same goes for all tests asking given
n numbers what is the next number; there is a
unique polynomials of degree at most n - 1 that
interpolate these sequence of numbers!
But why should we restrict our self to just polynomials;
A savvy mathematician would tell you I will peek any
application from natural numbers to itself.

In the end IQ test is more about telepathy and normalization (we have same __limited__ culture) than
any other factor.

The same goes for verbal ability and image recognition.

If I told you here is the sequence:
1
what is the next numbers?
I'm confused by the headline. "I'm not sorry I didn't wait". I mean, I believe I know what it's supposed to mean, that the author is glad she's a mother at age 25, but I don't see how I can transform the headline into that.
This doesn't sound like you ever programmed RSpec tests?

Edit: To expand on that. I thought I knew and understood the model–view–controller having only read about it. But only when I actually used it in early RoR version I truly understood what kind of advantages and disadvantages this approach had.

The article explains the reasoning of RSpec and I'd say it should answer your questions.

I'm not entirely convinced this is not a parody. The wording, the weirdly pompous adjectives, the game itself. I get that it's supposed to be a little retro, and that's fine, but at the same time they're comparing it to Combat Flight Simulator 2 and talking about realism with a straight face.
It got to the point where over half of all Google search results were producing Wikipedia as the top result. No doubt they noticed and made some targeted adjustments to subtly downrank Wikipedia.

Which might be a good thing if it leads to other quality sites getting more traffic.
You shouldn't claim to know who does and who doesn't commit crime based on how wealthy are or were they.
The employee would be employed by the EoR on paper. Hence employer _of record_. But otherwise acts as a normal employee of the actual employer.

> And how is the situation when the employees come in from time to time (commuting across borders) but work the majority of their time in another country?

This is a gross simplification, but:
You must comply with where you spend the majority of your time. Spending a few days/weeks outside of your homebase is normal (see: all business travel) and doesn't make you immediately liable.

That said, this gets really complex and murky when you think about e.g. nomads or people that really split their time between countries.
> The specification goes in the test title and if necessary, a comment. Then the programmer writes code to test the spec. I've never understood what is suboptimal about this. Why do developers need to be tricked?

I think there's a combination of things in play here which caused RSpec to take off:

- RSpec's matchers were a bit more expressive than the built-in assertions. This meant not only that you could write "should_be_greater" and when an error occurs it would present it in a much nicer way ("expected result to be greater than X, got Y") than the simple "assert".

- For many people when getting started with TDD/BDD it does help to start from a library/toolkit which has the concepts built-in. A good example is being able to actually write full sentences for the test name instead of being forced to summarize in snake_case.

That said, I do find the current RSpec expectation syntax to be annoying and over complicated. And that's not because I don't like DSL, but because I think that this DSL is focused on making it readable as an English sentence instead of trying to build its own language with its own primitives.

Example:

expect(result).to eq(3)

- `eq(3)` I can understand: This creates an assertion. This knows how to validate the value and how to format the error message. Having these as standalone objects seem to allow some pretty cool usages.

- However, what is expect()? What does it return? What does that object represent? Why is there a to() method? What other methods are on `to`? It seems to me that this could have been solved by a single method: expect_match(result, eq(3)). Yes, it doesn't read as an English sentence, but it's easy to understand the components: You have the assertion which is a standalone object, and then you have the `expect_match` which checks a result against that assertion. `expect_match` belongs to the test runner because we want it to fail the test if the assertion fails.

And when you look at comparisons it's even worse:

expect(actual).to be > expected

I've been writing Ruby for over 10 years and immediately I struggle to parse this line. I guess `be` is a local method (coming from what module?) which returns an object whose only purpose is to convert operators into an assertion? To make things even more confusing, you can also write `expect(actual).to be`, but that is something completely different (it passes when the result is truthy).

And here's the problem: The be() method doesn't actually serve any useful purpose in the "language" of matchers. It doesn't provide anything that couldn't have been accomplished within the existing framework. It's only there as a placeholder to make the whole expression read as an English sentence instead of `expect_match(result, gt(3))`.
The Energy Trap (2011)
> The US cultural hegemony is real...

> I’d drawn soldiers and fighter jets etcetera and they mostly had US flags...

I think this is the cleverest and most insidious thing the US has managed to do. For some reason, in spite of their appalling record: only nation to use atomic weapons on civilians, practiced apartheid for decades, has been continually at war with 'someeone' since the end of WWII, brutal prison system, death penalty, trigger happy police, etc. etc. so many people all over the world still see the USA as "cool". It's unfathomable to me.

I've said many times that; in a lot of European and west-leaning countries, you could literally sell people dog-shit and they'd chomp it down with relish --as long as you called it "American Style" and put a stars & stripes on the packet.

> For example, which is easier, sight reading music with both hands, or sight reading each hand separately?

That highly depends on the performer and the musical properties of the work.

Sight reading a single voice can be harder than with both hands because the voice of one hand may not always give you a complete picture: what the tonal center and functions are, how a theme or sequence develops, and how the voices relate to each other.
It is not yet another article about Tau, it is THE original article about Tau. As in, the one who proclaimed this is the symbol and name of the symbol that should replace Pi.

There were others before that suggested other symbols like a Pi with three legs. The concept of Tau is not new. The issue at this point is just convincing people to use Tau and getting it into textbooks. And for this purpose, the loudness of the manifest by claiming Pi is wrong has worked wonderfully. The topic has been debated and reiterated plenty if times using this title.

The article is right for the wrong reason psychology isn't science it's something much more important and goes beyond the dichotomy of science and "pseudoscience".

There are also a ton of scary 'laws' like extra judicial 'border' areas which go wayyy into our country from agencies that are being militarized. Justice doesn't need swat teams...

I would be into a non-military branch. it baffles me we haven't funded this. Regulations are also a good first step, but don't seem enough alone. though HIPA and SOC seem fairly ok at least with low level stuff.

If we're going to spend $2T on infra throw at least $100 billion on this, some more to pay to onshore more critical chip & manufacturing. But Republicans are stuck on cars.
It's not the fact that he doesn't leave that's delusional, it's all the ideas he has about leaving that can't be based in reality as he has not experienced them.

It's similar to anyone who has strong opinions about something that they don't have evidence (scientific or experiential) to support.

Again, the delusion isn't that he's happy with what he has, it's that he appears to have some strong opinions about what it's like to, for example, live in London having never been there. A more evidence-based position might be "I'm happy with what I have and have no inclination to see or do anything else".

Also again, his delusions seem pretty mild.
RSpec, Minitest, and Cucumber have a huge history in bringing Test Driven Development (TDD) and Behavior Driven Development (BDD) to many developers via Ruby on Rails. All three have fascinating interactions with language and psychology.

I believe there's an excellent masters thesis to be written that investigates the histories of these 3 tools and their adoption curves.

The history that I've seen is teams doing 4 steps: try RSpec and love it, try Cucumber and hate it, try Minitest and eventually favor it over RSpec because of directness and refactorability, then much later on revisit Cucumber for inter-team business specs and love it.

Along the curve, some teammates would express strong preferences, some wouldn't care much, and some would actively say only one was the One True Tool. Areas like this-- much like vim vs. emacs-- fascinate me because they hint at deep ways we think about code and work.

The essential features of the F9 that made it capable of propulsive landing were an accident. After the success of the F1 SpaceX didn’t have the resources to develop a larger engine, so they built the bigger rocket by just adding a cluster of engines to the first stage. This is far from ideal because multiple small engines gives poorer power to weight than fewer big engines, but SpaceX hoped to gain cost advantages by mass producing the engines.

The original plan for recovering the F9 first stage was to use parachutes and this was tried with the first couple of launches, but the boosters broke up on re-entry. That’s when the idea of a re-entry burn came up, and from that the concept of a propulsive landing.

But propulsive landing is only possible with the F9 because it has a central engine and the engines are small enough to throttle down low enough to do a suicide burn. You have to have an engine at or very close to the centre of the vehicle for it to work. But this 9 engine cluster with a central engine was not originally designed with propulsive landing in mind. It was an accident.

If SpaceX had better funding early on, they probably would have developed a larger main engine for the booster, which wouldn’t have been able to throttle low enough to stick a landing and may not have had a cluster arrangement with a central engine anyway. This is also why the other rocket companies mostly can’t adapt their rockets for reusability easily.
Ah, I see. As you posted the link and as your post had a similar quirk to the original I assumed you were the author of that too. You can probably disregard my advice in that case.
Everyone knows a hot dog is a type of taco.
I treated myself to a medium frozen yogurt yesterday, no toppings, after carrying a sheet of peg board about a mile. It was $8 after tip. Maybe that's small tourist town price rather than inflation, but all the restaurants in the area definitely jacked prices up 50% over the last two years.

I had to carry the peg board from the in-town hardware store because it wouldn't fit in my Mustang. A Ford Mustang has the same sticker price as it did when I bought mine 10 years ago. So, if there's inflation, Mustangs have comparatively gotten cheaper.

The peg board itself was $18 for a 4'x4' sheet. I haven't looked it up, but I suspect I could have paid 4x cheaper by area by buying full sheets at Home Depot. I would have paid the difference in transportation costs just buying the one sheet, though.

Two good books to read on this topic are:

- Stalingrad
- Berlin: The Downfall 1945

Both by Antony Beevor. After reading these books, it really convinced me how much undue credit the US gets for "winning" WW2 (in Europe) when its pretty clear the Soviets did the large majority of actually doing the costly dirty work in Europe.

People like to point out the obvious propaganda of other countries, but are fairly oblivious to the USA's own very strong propaganda and cultural influence.
