I always wonder how much you can truly unlink from Amazon for retail purchases. Even where a store runs on Shopify there is a good chance they are using FBA for fulfilment
For the highlighted code, you’ve made unhighlighted lines look more like comments than merely deemphasised lines. One alternative style that I’ve found effective in such situations is to reduce the opacity and partially desaturate:

-.sx5jq50 .highlight-line[data-highlighted="false"], .sx5jq50 .highlight-line[data-highlighted="false"] * {
- color: var(---fadedLines);
-}
+.sx5jq50 .highlight-line[data-highlighted="false"] {
+ opacity: 0.5;
+ filter: grayscale(0.6);
+}

But I have always found adding a yellow background to the line to be by far the most effective (that is, the most likely to be read and understood correctly without explanation), most likely combined with opacity reduction and/or desaturation. And yes, specifically yellow will normally yield the best results. (There may be cultural factors to weigh against this recommendation, but there’s also some actual colour science supporting it. I’d definitely avoid red and green for normal highlighting in western culture, though it’s great for removed and added lines in diffs—but do remember the colourblind and not make colour the only indication.)

What about what I said was "conspiracy bs"? These are the organizations that fund the group. They are invested in vaccine sales, and some of them have very questionable ethics. Again from Wikipedia:

"Public-sector workers and academics public health have criticized GAVI, and other global health initiatives (GHIs) with private-sector actors, saying that they have neither the democratic legitimacy nor the capacity to decide on public health agendas. Private donors often find it easier to exert influence through public-private partnerships like GAVI than through the traditional public sector. There is also criticism that staff at GHIs are often recruited directly from elite educational institutions, and have no experience in health care systems, especially those in poorer countries. Some WHO officials have privately criticized GAVI for infringing and weakening the WHO's mandates"

And that is just a small portion of the issues with that organization. GAVI is an organization that promotes sales of the industry's newest vaccines, not promoting vaccination as a whole.

"In 2012, the first MSF "The right shot" report criticized GAVI for focussing on funding expensive new vaccines and neglecting to give children cheap old ones. "Twenty percent of the world’s children aren’t even getting the basic vaccines", MSF's vaccine policy adviser said.[11] MSF criticized the Global Vaccine Action Plan (GVAP), a WHO global collaboration of which GAVI is listed as a leader, as flawed for failing to help those 20%, which is some 19 million children.[28]"

And this is just complaints against one of the organizations.
It's not a practical requirement in that from an enforcement perspective and economic sense (under the current commercial and economic models) it is not practical.

It is a practical requirement in the sense that it improves (potentially) the practicality of hardware systems.

Those are two distinct senses, I was writing about the former.
I created a fake account for testing a fix to a bug for my company. I used a fake email, fake name, fake location, etc. I used a photo of something I was given for graduation and a date of birth that was within 6 months of my real one.

They started recommending my friends from my high school. I went to a magnet school for my junior and senior years, and Facebook even recognized that. I graduated 10 years before I signed up. And the one piece I made sure I faked was the school I went to. I'm shy. If I wanted to communicate with someone I figured I'd add them myself.

Nothing magical to it. They had some other piece of data from someone else (or me from some other source) that matched up (the data was fake, but I had used it previously; I don't make that mistake anymore). But it showed me just how dedicated to getting all of this data they were.

What you're outlining right now are issues that affect the status quo anyways. Small companies always fight an uphill battle with larger ones, and copyright law is almost never respected: what else is new? Even still, they're weak excuses not to provide the public with information that likely already exists.
I may be misunderstanding the lore; I'm certainly no expert. But I was under the impression that YoRHa is the one that believes it's year 11XXX or whatever. And YoRHa and their backstory are fabricated. Basically most of the Automata story should have repeated many times before. It gets "reset" whenever the machines defeat YoRHa and the machines rebuild YoRHa and set them up with a fresh backstory. So YoRHa would always believe it's the year 11XXX. When actually it might be 110,000 for all we know (and poor Pascal's village will have been murdered 10 times...).

I guess it's not really important the exact chronology. Automata is abstract enough that story details are more like flotation devices than concrete structures. The point is that much of the Automata story has been repeated over, and over again, and both you the player and YoRHa are oblivious to this (until the last act).
That works if your class is never used outside your own organization, but the API of published code needs to be changed more gracefully using semver.

I'm with you here. I tend to read a few reviews to determine if I should give a new product a shot. If somebody takes the time to write a 250 word review that has some pros and cons and include some photos, I'm going to trust that review. Many products you can find a handful of reviews like this which is all I need to make a decision. If I'm caught between two products, I'll order both and return the one I don't like (make sure they have free returns). Works pretty well for me.

Same thing with counterfeits which people claim are rampant on Amazon. Either I manage to avoid them or they're very good counterfeits, in which case I wouldn't care.

When you translate to MIDI, you are going to lose a lot of the subtle pitch and tonality of the piano. One string vibrating produces overtones and a chord will vibrate in a very deep way on a grand piano that I feel you cannot replicate in a MIDI, and therefore that detail would be subsequently lost.

For instance, how long you are touching the string - while you're touching the string, there is a sound - but after you let off, you get the "reverb" - and there is different reverb for how you hit the key, if you bounce, or if you stay for a split second longer for staccato, I don't feel like these subtleties translate to MIDI.

It is certainly easier than violin, that I will grant.

edit: IMO the best way to do what you are describing is get a really good pianist to sit down and do the work. I don't think that (current?) machine learning can really "understand" the nuance of phrasing esp that would be coming from older recordings.

Heh, the thread is amusing. A few days back there was another thread discussing true mortality rate of COVID in India and a lot of support for how deviation from base rates are a fairly good indicator. When it comes to the US...
To quote the TFA: After much interaction and wasted time, it finally becomes clear that the user really wants help with X, and that Y wasn't even a suitable solution for X. (emphasis mine)

Whose time was wasted? For the asker, the exploration of Y and the eventual realization that it is not a good way to pursue X is a learning experience with value. For the answerer, they may feel their time is wasted if the goal is to answer questions. But if the goal is to help the asker deepen their understanding then the discussion of Y isn't wasted time at all.

This presupposes two things: 1. The asker must have the curiosity and humility to interrogate Y as their chosen method to reach X. 2. The answerer must set aside their ego in order to provide genuine help instead of patronizing advice.

The question/answer format of Stack Overflow does not lend itself to curious exploration of questions and I think the gamification aspect rewards egotistical answerers. I say this despite deriving a lot of value from SO over the years.
It is the community, but not because we don't care about it. It's because in a thread on an article like this it's not a very valuable comment. The comments it generates (including yours and mine) has nothing to do with the SPRR or exception levels.
> People praise Automata for its story, storytelling, and creativity.

So I can't judge the story so I'll reserve judgement.

and I can't judge the ps2-era graphics because you say not to, even though people commend that as well.

and I don't find it that creative either, am I supposed to say other fans know that too? There are some compelling parts that I enjoy, I am just miffed how it doesn't really come together or have anything that isn't really expected. There are some sequences (ie. amusement park to village in route A) that are epic, but then it just doesn't do much with it. its like "oh okay, they just explained what was immediately apparent"

alright I'll keep going. I know what Route C is because many others have explained it in other forums, and I'm looking forward to it. There are routes after C though?
Well, GDP is a measure of how much your country produces. Why do things get produced? Because it can be sold. Who buys things? People with money. How do people get money? By working and being paid. So pay people more, then they'll buy more, then producers can produce more, then your GDP goes up. Is it that simple? No, of course not. But it's not a crazy chain of connections.
Just because we know enough to know when we are getting shafted why is that an excuse to shaft other people who don't?

Intel have done some really shady things, and yet they still publish extensive documentation on how their processors work and how to get the best from them - Apple? Nothing.

At least from my read of the gitlab issues, I don't think anyone is saying that the current solution doesn't have problems. The idea is to get those problems fixed instead of ditching the current solution entirely, or making it an optional toggle (which would make even more likely that nobody fixes the issues). For me personally, I did use type-ahead but my feeling is that a really good and fast search would make it obsolete.
The headline is true but suggests a far more sinister implication than what is actually going on.

A few things that need to be taken in context here.

- The materials in question were sent to China, Taiwan, Canada and Ireland.

- As others have mentioned, Honeywell sent commercially-available schematics to the above countries, not classified information. The article mentions that Honeywell sent parts relating to the engine, this could literally just be a valve or bearing component. I doubt this kind of information is usable unless you have a ton of additional documentation describing their function and utility as a sub-assembly.

- Honeywell reported this themselves. A bunch of articles on this topic use the phrase 'Honeywell admits...' as if this was some kind of smoking gun.

The knee-jerk reaction claiming that Honeywell has committed treason or something like it is unreasonable. Methinks incompetence from the sales department is to blame here rather than malice.

We already are “actual enemies,” but the US isn’t acting like it. And that’s problematic. We should consider China of today the same way we considered Germany in WW2. They’re that bad, and we should be acting like it.

If amazon could give me the scores from verified-purchasers, show me anonymized comments from verified-purchasers; I think I'd be ok.
I was making $12/hour as a bus boy at a restaurant in the 90s. $15/hour is pathetic. Target is _starting_ at $15/hour in the rural midwest, near me.

Yes, maybe their restaurant (and other biz) margins are small but they're business people, get creative. Biz is not entitled to cheap labor.

Adjust prices, raise wages, have managers do work.

This is the first time in decades I've heard of labor having an actual choice.

People should be able to be picky about what job they want to work. Do you want to work a service job during COVID? Pay is crap, people are crap to employees, and you get the chance of getting a deadly virus. Sign me up!

I keep seeing statements like this, and I must disagree. My mom's retired, nearly 80, and having an absolute blast living her life. At her prime, she was the primary wage-earner, had two kids, and never had a moment to herself. Her quality of life now is much better than when she was "in her prime". She's got a bunch of friends in the same boat.

I'm shocked for the opposite reason. If our politicians and the people they place in charge of government services are examples of the same type of people who run the government contractor companies, I'm shocked that this isn't a rampant problem.
I wonder if this is an operation somewhat like what the US did against the Soviet Union by supplying subtly flawed hardware and software designs when it was discovered that the Soviets were using espionage to obtain technology from the West.

Unless you have a lot of knowledge about the technology, you may have issues figuring out if something has subtle flaws. For high performance fighter jets, there are a lot of ways you can make it go bad. Maybe tolerances are off a little, or the materials are too brittle in some conditions, etc. There are all sorts of ways you can make stuff that will fail.
Perhaps my info on these are out of date. Why would you say those are successful examples?
Peer-to-peer routing is challenging because you aren't sure where to send your data to reach your peer, even if you know their cryptographic public key and address. It's hard because the network physically is splayed out in a big hub-and-spoke tree. A node might know who it's physical neighbors are, but does not necessarily know much about there locations of any of its peers.

If a router receives a peer-to-peer packet, where should it send this packet? With pinecone, this is answered by looking at a cheatsheet, where each node is assigned a specific virtual neighbor that they are in charge of finding among the physical routing tree. This cheatsheet is generated by connecting neighbors who are ordered by their cryptographic public keys.

As peers find routes to their neighbors, they are also discovering routes to other nodes along the chain, helping speed up the entire process of deciding where to send packets.
That's another example of what I mean, learning the magic invocations that amount to "Oh, please shell, act halfway like this is the 21st century, please?" It's like how I still have "#!/usr/bin/bash NL use strict; NL use warnings;" still burned into my fingers for Perl. (AIUI that's obsolete now but I never got to upgrade to the versions where that became obsolete, and now I'm just out of it.)
I'd contend that a requirement like this, without exemptions for small businesses, would make things worse for small businesses than big businesses and worse than the present situation. It's similar to many other legal regulatory requirements, small businesses end up bearing an outsized cost relative to their revenue.

And if you create exemptions for small businesses, the big businesses would do exactly what they always do, find loopholes to get subsidiaries/contractors to do the work and exempted and nullify the entire thing.

As nice as it would be to bring back (easier) access to system specs, it's impractical without fundamental culture changes that laws themselves don't usually produce.
Yeah most academics dread doing a peer review, because honestly if you actually get sent one that's a good fit, four out of five times the paper is in very rough shape, and the onus is on you the reviewer to point out and correct every problem.

“But gawking is not a trivial offense. Since January 1, 2021, a law has been in force that punishes photographing or filming an accident with a prison term of up to two years. With their action, the Johanniter show the drastic consequences and dangers of the greed for sensation and explain the punishments.“

I find this very heavy handed. What harm is simply photographing an accident scene, as long as you are not causing disruption. There was a recent case in .au where a guy filmed a several cops dying from a truck accident and taunting them (they were trying to give him a ticket when hit by another truck driver). He was sentenced to 10 months for breaking public decency.

I agree.

IIRC the benchmarks is the union of few benchmarks sets that were floating around, like some usual benchmarks for Scheme implementations [1] and old versions of the The Computer Language Benchmarks Game [2]

In particular you can see the comparison of "Racket" (aka Racket CS) and "Racket BC" with the current version of the The Computer Language Benchmarks Game in https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...

(The set of problems and measurements of runtime are made by someone that is not in the Racket team.)

[1] That are somewhat bad for Racket because some of them use mutable pairs/cons.

[2] They are frozen to test backward compatibility and to ensure any progress is due to improvements in the compiler.
Maybe the reason the lab exists there is because wild coronaviruses appear in that region.

Which ever way you frame it, it is correlation, not causation. Poor evidence at best.
Korea didn't have national lockdowns and I don't think China did either. Vietnam's lock-downs were all harsh, but extremely short (2 weeks).

The common denominator in all covid success cases seems to be an effective and strong contract tracing and quarantine protocol. That is the tried and true method used to defeat outbreaks.

If you have a good contract tracing program, a short-hard lockdown can be used to delay the outbreak while your tracers find and isolate the infected.

But without an effective contract tracing program (and I'm not talking about some bullshit smartphone app, but public health contract tracers with the power to actually do something), the lockdown is just a delay tactic.

Even if we got down to 0 cases in April 2020 in the USA, the virus would work its way back in within weeks, if not days. Without a tracing program that works, we'd be back to ten thousand cases in a few months.

All those countries have tight border controls. We get hundreds of thousands of illegal border crosses ever year. We'd have to deploy the military along the Mexican border and probably Canada too.

I don't think a single state has really tried to ramp up contract tracing efforts to the required levels.

And Australia had a several month long lockdown to get defeat a relatively small, isolated breakout. The bigger the outbreak the longer the lockdown is needed. And the longer the lockdown, the less severe it can realistically be. I accepted "don't have any social visits" for 6 weeks, but I wouldn't comply if they asked for 6 months. You can close factories for a couple weeks, but not for 6 months.
