Could be. But also the Balkan mafia operates in another level when it comes to identities. There are stories, of eventually someone getting caught, and it is realized that the guy was wanted for 15+ years, by some (usually Western Europe) country, interpol and all, has changed their names 3 times and they live care free in another country.

They completely change identities, new names, new passports, new looks, new citizenship.
With enough money, it becomes just a routine thing. It is like they run a Tor network ring, but on personal identities.

Often, they are found when they get in trouble with their old pals (usually unsettled scores), and not the police.
Is Burnout a Depressive Condition? A Meta-Analytic and Bifactor Analytic Study
It's actually is a major ripoff of the principles of the "dèrive" from Debord and the Situationist International, the founders mentioned them in interviews. [1] Those French anarchists are probably laughing from the grave - paying to get a random location from an algorithm instead of just going on a thoughtless stroll is the perfect example of what they described as recuperation.

The conservatives keep on moving from /r/the_donald to Voat to Gab to Parler. It is just that they end up creating such a cesspool of hate and misinformation that nobody wants to do business with that platform, whether it be infrastructure, payment processors, or advertisers. That makes it unviable in the long term.
I wish the author had gone a bit more in depth on the doubly linked lists and recursive data structures. Those are enormous pain points when trying to do conventional low level programming in Rust, and doing it right the first time might help avoid the pitfall of 'build 90% of what you want, realize you need to redo everything because there's an ownership issue you need to hack around, give up on Rust.'
> however crazy you think handwritten js is, generated js is just obviously worse to try to read (and you will have to)

Or...maybe I won’t; I’ve used plenty of compile-to-JS languages (including what starts as “js” with JSX and modern features but gets compiled to plain, and more widely supported, JS), and I spend as much time reading and debugging JS in its compiled form as I do reading and and debugging .NET or Python bytecode instead of source, which is none.
we use GraphQL for this purpose as well, but I'd also like to be able to validate across other boundaries.

However, as I'm saying this, I wonder if I've been looking at this problem wrong. Since we already generate types from GraphQL schemas, maybe I should figure out how to use the same client side parser that's already in my GraphQL client, define a GraphQL schema for the types I'm interested in, and then just generate and use those types.

One thing that doesn't necessarily give me is the ability to define custom parsers corresponding to custom types. At least, I think most of that sort of thing is usually done server side with GraphQL.

So, thank you for the link and also the inspiration for considering an alternative.
Confirmed. Every time I convert an old Node project to promises I constantly find bugs and situation that were just lost in the hell. The result is also so much cleaner that sometimes you realize you were doing something wrong entirely and you scrap the whole thing. No other JavaScript improvement comes close. Everything else is nice but only saves a few chars at most.
That's kind of the bent of many of the modern practitioners of chaos magick. Whether "magick" is "real" is irrelevant. If you can convince yourself strongly enough that things will go well for you, it often does.
If you see them weekly, did they really fix anything? If anything, it sounds like they hooked you in for repeat business. When I see a doctor to fix an ailment, it's one and done.
Alright.

So, if a country says "you cannot criticize anyone who promotes exclusionary ethnostates", or even "you cannot criticize anyone who promotes exclusionary Jewish ethnostates in particular", then Facebook should ban that content on behalf of the exclusionary ethnostate supporters.

Otherwise, allow criticism of exclusionary ethnostates. White supremacy and zionism are two sides of the same coin—both feed off each other, justify each other, complement each other.

If you with to throw out science as an epistomologic method, you have to show that whatever other method you wish to use will be more predictive. Anecdontal cherry picking like you're engaged in doesn't do that.

Simply stating that science may not be able to show us everything that is true does not get you any closer to justified belief of any particular thing which you think science cannot show.

What are some key settings you would recommend to prevent these exact things? It's a bit challenging to grok all of the advanced router settings, and I don't think mine comes with "locked down against outside attacks" presets.
Why write compilable code at all then? Teach everything in a hypothetical language like (M)MIX, like Knuth does in the Art of Computer Programming. Why bog students down with engineering 'details', like actually compiling their code and getting it to run, or stepping through a debugger, or any such thing. That's not computer science.
Even big companies such as those supporting MDN have terrible developer documentation. MDN is something quite special even given who supports it.

The idea of these people being cheap therapists actually appeals to me. It is similar to something I observed while working in Indian slums. Access to real healthcare being rare, people would visit unlicensed doctors who would nonetheless treat them successfully. The long tail on these doctors was ugly. But the normal case was great.

And you could argue that they shouldn’t exist. And shouldn’t be able to prescribe. But the fact that they did and that they could meant many ill people recovered.

The primary problem wasn’t quality of care. It was access. Going from no care to some care is of huge significance.

Likewise, I suspect a focus on infallibility of healthcare professionals elsewhere drives up prices and actually makes outcomes worse for a large class of people because they simply do not have access due to the corresponding increase in cost of care.

A lot of mental health treatment is likely non-pharmacological and so astrologers and the like provide a valuable healthcare service to society. The category distinction permits them to fail at healthcare. It also permits people who cannot access the formal system (with its hundreds of dollars of continued assessments) to access a lightweight form of it.

I am wholly in favour of their existence.
It's a consensual transaction; people only pay for it because they want it. Ultimately it's no different than people spending money at the craps table or on a chiropractor.

You know what would be productive? Statistical numbers. You cannot deny the productiveness of real factual numbers.

The brain drain consists of measurable negative population growth. More people moving out then people coming in, in aggregate. Additionally the real numbers show that California natives are the ones that are mostly leaving.

This. Is. A. Statistical. Number.

If negative population continues by raw logic after the population is small enough, California or any state would indeed become an economic wasteland. There is no opinion here. This is fundamental fact.

You're stopping this interaction as the discussion increases in productivity while I start citing more and more real numbers and real sources and undeniable logic that you are finding harder and harder to twist to fit your world view.

I think the reality of what's going on here is that the discussion is becoming too productive. It is an exposing a world view you are too biased to accept.
Most of us on here are in tech rather than psychiatry and not fit to make a call on whether someone is a psycopath, especially from a single article about them that doesn’t really focus on their mental state.
About giving our a number, I see two cases:
- if you have a decent job, not in a rush to change, do give out a number that is very high (top of the range for the job or more). This anchors a high figure and hey, they may give it to you.
- Otherwise, wait for them to give a number. If pressure, give a range with a high end.

The improvement in child survival is attributed to many things, but it may be a mix of vaccinations, less indoor air pollution, much better hygiene, better nutrition, and perhaps just better parenting. (People have had some very peculiar ideas on how to care for and raise children; I wouldn't be surprised if in hindsight our distant descendants consider us woefully inadequate in that regard too.)

Most of the progress, in absolute terms, with reducing maternal mortality and the infant/toddler death rate in the industrialized countries was actually made before antibiotics were developed, in the late 19th / early 20th centuries. In England in 1851 about 26% of children died before the age of 5, falling to 23% in 1891, 19% in 1911, 11% in 1921, 9% in 1931, and 7% in 1941 (and then we're in the antibiotics era).
> The BATNA is zero.

It's not though, is it? If you're not currently employed but are employable, the alternative is waiting a few more weeks for the next offer. Whether you want to do that or can even afford to, the company doesn't know.

I'm wary of the given advice for a different reason: tech is a very unique job market. Anything written by someone in tech is always to be considered only from that perspective. This is because the market isn't just (very) favorable to job-seekers, it's downright weird. Here in Montreal, there must be about 10 people in a "city area" of 3 million with my specific skills and experience with certain software. There are thousands of software engineeers with more experience or who are just smarter, better at coding. But almost none of them have my experience (and very few of my skills overlap with any other given individual's). How do you even value a role that is, all in all, incomparable? Well, you negociate.

It would seem irresponsible to me to give the same advice to someone who's unspecialized or to anyone in most job markets (which supply-demand trends tend to favor employers). But that's still not "zero" BATNA : You can always afford to wait (at least until you can't).
The AndroidX transition breaking basically everything was worse than everything Apple did combined in my opinion. That was such a massive and messy headache.
It did - I asked you to provide evidence for that claim, and some of the others you made. It's a strong assertion and it needs strong evidence.

To be clear, I'm not trying to suggest COVID isn't lethal or isn't unique at all. I am suggesting that the idea it is so unique as to be excluded from selective pressure to become less lethal over time is a claim that requires evidence.
> However, when you get to millions or billions, maybe you have to optimize and create a backend. What should this backend be written in? Previously the answer might have been C++. But now it's Rust.

Now it's Rust based on what? Uber backend is almost entirely built in Go. And so are many other services handling billion plus requests a day written in other languages.

Perhaps Rust advocates know something that Uber engineering does not.
Eradicating Infectious Disease: Can We and Should We? (2011)
When I was 12 I was quite adept at this and gave many adults a reading. It took me 4 years to conclusively disprove it. It felt really painful to hear my family still saying that it was a true scientific working system. I know they believe this, but IMO it feels like gaslighting from the perspective I have now.

Some factoids:

- Remembering birthdays is easy for me, because I still get everyone’s astrological profile “for free” when I hear someone’s birthday (it’s a subconscious thing).

- Sometimes I still give people a reading for fun and tell them upfront that I believe it’s all nonsense. Yet, some people spontaneously start to believe in astrology after my reading, despite the evidence I give.

All in all, fun and games but IMO a waste of time.

Part of the problem is that in Europe they go about these initiatives by throwing grant money and government programs at it. This can create jobs, and they can become efficient at extracting grant money, but it doesn't necessarily create a self-sustaining economic engine.

In my opinion Europe needs to go about it via policy, and maybe even culture, rather than funding. Get rid of non-competes. Make financing less scary for founders and make bankruptcy less punishing - my understanding is that in the EU, a startup failing can destroy a founder's life financially. Controversially, roll back overly permissive or complex labor laws that make it difficult to fire and hire.

None of this involves throwing money at the problem. It's about incentives. There's little reason for someone who wants to grow a large technology company to do it in the EU. There's little reason for someone who wants to be an employee of a startup to do it in the EU either. Obviously people still do both, but it's at too low of a rate and density for it to sustain a chain reaction leading to something like SV.
This is from battery life concerns right? If the battery pack lasts around ten years and replacement costs more than the car, it'll get junked, etc.

It seems like battery lifetime may be better than expected (except in arizona, especially if your battery doesn't have sufficient cooling). And there hasn't been a lot of reporting of this happening, I haven't seen many anecdotal reports either. Maybe, it's still too early.

This is a big (underreported) factor in CNG vehicles though, a lot of their fuel tanks are expiring now, and for at least some vehicles, it's not economical to replace the tank, and at least PG&E requires a safety report before authorizing people to use their stations, so that makes a car junk simply because you can't fuel it.
Although I have a great-grandparents that were ethnic hebrews... I must say that I am not surprised anti-semitism is growing, considering many people now considered "villains" for whatever reason ARE jewish.

> I don't think we can expect the religious instinct, found in every known human society, to just disappear.

Religion is not an instinct. Not on the individual level, and not on the societal level, where there is only a manifestation of principles of conformity.

Optimism and sociability are intelligible enough. There is no need to introduce magical properties except to bamboozle the credulous.
I think such a grave accusation will bring you to write a story into your permanent memory due to how many times you have to repeat it and go over it. If you go to prison, it’s also the last story of your free life. Once inside, your brain will probably be stuck in a loop over what you could have done differently that could have avoided your current situation.

What makes this impressive to me is the author did not know Perl going in. Just looking for danger-functions like `eval` and understanding regex was enough to find this.

Yeah, it seems to be more about guarantees as a code base grows larger and more people touch it.

If there's a Limit class whose constructor and setter all check that the range is between say 5 to 100, and all existing code that needs the limit uses the instance of Limit, it just becomes less likely a code change is made that uses the limit input as it was directly provided by the user (and thus possibly out of range).

But you'd still need to have had someone be smart enough to make sure the Limit class does prevent limits that could cause DB crashes.

In practice I'm thinking, ok, so someone must have thought... Hey we should validate this user input and put in some logic for it.

So I think what this says is, validation works by having all external input validated as they are received. But it can be easy to make a code change at the boundary where you forget to add proper validation. If all existing functions in the lower layers, like in the data access layer, are designed to take a Limit object, the person who took a limit as external input and was about to pass it to the query function will get a compile error and realize... Oh I need to first parse my integer limit into a Limit, and thus reminds them to use the thing that enforces the valid range.

If instead the code had a util function called assertValidLimit, and the query function took a limit as an integer, it be easy for that person to forget to add a call to assertValidLimit when getting the limit from the user and then pass that unvalidated to the query and possibly cause a vulnerability.

And lastly, it seems they argue, if you were to validate instead in the query function itself, thus it wouldn't matter if others forget to validate since where it matters would, but then it is hard to fail at that layer, since you might have already made other changes and that can leave your state corrupted.

So basically it seems the argument is:

"It is best to validate external input at the boundary as soon as it is received, but it can be easy to forget to do so and that's dangerous. So to help you not forget, have all implementing functions take a different type then the type of the external input, which will remind people... Oh right I need to parse this thing first and in doing so assert it's valid as well.
No, that's not how burden of proof works. The default assumption is that a given event has zero effect. If you want to assert that it's actively harmful then the burden is on you to show that.
