Idk, why not just break up Oregon a little bit?

I don't have a dog in this fight, but... why are we so adamant about clinging to certain structures even if they don't work for people?

You might say "but not everybody agrees with this move..." well sure but at what point do we say the will of the general population matters more without appealing to some higher authority like the U.S. to implement rules that you agree with even if the local population doesn't?

Some reasonable lines can be drawn. For example, obviously you can't let a group of people just murder other people or something. But what about letting them teach the Bible or Islam in their schools? I mean, it's their schools right? Don't their property taxes pay for them? It's a complicated subject, IMO.

And if you want less clear examples it would be easy to find.

The truth of the matter as I see it is that this "problem" is not going away. Nation states are an historical anomaly, and now that there's no war and need to organize for something meaningful, and the world has gotten much smaller, we're seeing fractures come into being. This could be (and I'm not comparing any of these) Basque rebels, Ireland, China geocoding Uighur Muslims to make room for Han Chinese, Quebec, etc. and you can also look at general wealth and outperformance of smaller countries that trend toward being city states as they can and tend to more freely compete without risk of violence on the international stage.

IMO cryptocurrency, fracturing and bankrupt nation states, and other things will largely destroy the nation states as we know them today, barring anything unforeseen. It'll take a while though, we're just living through history.

And FWIW I am a U.S. Army veteran - so I'm pretty 'Murica, but as much as I don't want to admit it, it seems to me that just having such a large country with a population that is increasingly divided, is just going to lead toward separatists movements.

And just to get a cheap-shot at Texas. Sure is a whole lot of boot and no spur there when you want to deny federal aid to other states, but then have your own problems and come begging hat in hand from the feds. Where's your seccession now?

What is "offensive" is subjective, so it's impossible to algorithmically, or otherwise, to label tweets as such without imposing bias -- which, will be itself offensive to others. Lose-lose.

Twitter is a cesspool, and I expect offensive odors at cesspools. People discharge their negativity in Twitter similar to (metaphorically) actual cesspools -- maybe it's just as much a relief for them.

My solution to Twitter is to stop using it.
I doubt any court would agree with you on that.

What exactly do you think 'culture' means?
Sure, I said fairly distinctive rather than unique.

It's interesting that monogamy and mostly-consensual sex are mostly found in some birds (not you ducks), rather than our closest relatives. There are a lot of mammalian paradigms for sex, for placental mammals in our weight class there's rather a lot of intramale competition, and estrus; the female being willing to be mounted by whatever male happens to win the fight is pretty much orthogonal to consent as we humans understand it.

It seems like a pedantic objection given that both the parent and myself were talking about insects, where the concept makes very little sense.
You are right. Inflation is usually computed by tracking the price of a "basket of goods". But this only makes sense in the short term and doesn't account for profound societal changes that technology, ideology, etc. brings to that basket. Consider this quote by Agatha Christie (1890-1976): I never thought I would be so poor as to not have live-in staff, or so Rich as to have a car.
Your narrative still makes it seem not unreasonable for the cop to be happy. After all, arresting a drunk driver before they manage to kill someone is the kind of goal that should motivate cops to get out of bed in the morning. I'd personally rather have them excited to take an intoxicated driver off the street than letting them go because the paper work is a hassle.
I used to be a hardcore non-drinker and what I was rewarded with was somewhat relaxed sanity and reality perception as a substitute for regular alcohol consumption.

Now I feel a similar effect limited by physical substance intakes would have been a better alternative to that. After all our societies are built with alcohol in mind, including irrecoverable brain damages from it.
There is still a small amount of alcohol in those n/a beers. Athletic brewing co is amazing though, especially the coffee porter.

Noahlink Wireless Bluetooth Hearing Aid Programmer

I have Oticon Opn1 hearing aids and I always hated that I had to go to the Audiologist and have her tweak them, leave for a week or two and only then could I come back and have them readjusted. I get that sometimes you need to sit with a change for a while to get used to it, but sometimes you just know immediately whether something is working or not. OR, you just want to A/B test some things and the hassle of going back to the audi was too much. I realize now that I ended up living with hearing aids that were working sub par for many years.

I found that the software for programming the Oticon Opn's (among others) is free to use by anyone, however you need a device that will connect to them for programming. This is the Noahlink device. A couple of hundred bucks on Amazon and a few days of reading the documentation and I am off and running! I made several changes in quick succession and I can safely say that now I have them set to what they should have always been, years later. Where before I could only hear maybe 50% of what people were saying in a loud environment, I can now hear at least 75%. That may not seem like much, but it makes a huge difference! I now come home from a social event and I am not completely wiped out with exhaustion. One of the best purchases I have made in the last 10 years.

From the README:

Reflow comprises:

- a functional, lazy, type-safe domain specific language for writing workflow programs;

- a runtime for evaluating Reflow programs incrementally, coordinating cluster execution, and transparent memoization;

- a cluster scheduler to dynamically provision and tear down resources from a cloud provider (AWS currently supported).

and

Reflow was designed to support sophisticated, large-scale bioinformatics workflows, but should be widely applicable to scientific and engineering computing workloads. It was built using Go.

Reflow joins a long list of systems designed to tackle bioinformatics workloads, but differ from these in important ways:

- it is a vertically integrated system with a minimal set of external dependencies; this allows Reflow to be "plug-and-play": bring your cloud credentials, and you're off to the races;

- it defines a strict data model which is used for transparent memoization and other optimizations;

- it takes workflow software seriously: the Reflow DSL provides type checking, modularity, and other constructors that are commonplace in general purpose programming languages;
because of its high level data model and use of caching, Reflow computes incrementally: it is always able to compute the smallest set of operations given what has been computed previously.

Technically plotting is the really bad part, farming mostly just occupies storage and uses a bit of CPU. Not that I personally am a fan of either, but plotting is the destructive part and then you 'farm' the completed plot forever and that can be done on inexpensive spinning rust drives by a cheap PC.
When I was in Amsterdam just before Covid I went to the Heineken factory and they gave us samples of their Heineken 0.0 which is brewed entirely without alcohol rather than the usual “non-alcoholic” beer approach of brewing it and then removing the alcohol. It was surprisingly good! Unless you do a side by side comparison of the regular and the 0.0 I doubt you’d ever know.

Tangentially related, I wish I could remember the name of the Dutch tech company that created the “experience” (and have done several others throughout Europe & the US) because they’re really cool and did a great job.
How did you guess correctly when the two tweets were identical?
Welp, that does it. I'm definitely not getting smarter, and can't afford to lose what little I'm still holding onto.

I live in a US state where weed is legal, and I was discussing this with a friend: it's starting to seem like a terrible idea to drink at all if weed is available and has lesser harmful effects. For me personally, it comes down to that I'd hate for my kids to see me using weed, but I acknowledge that's pretty silly because they've seen me drink (small amounts of) alcohol. I've got a case of good beer in the fridge that I've whittled down over the last 6 months, and in all objective ways I can think of it sets a worse example for me to drink one of those every couple weeks than to use a similarly moderate amount of weed. My upbringing still insists that weed is a much worse example because it's a "drug".
One future pop quiz answer:

Tesla city is the capitol of the State of Jefferson.
Quoting from the same passage in the standard as the article does:

> Permissible undefined behavior ranges from ignoring the situation completely with unpredictable results, to ...

Ignoring the situation completely with unpredictable results seems like it covers the current compiler behavior.

The author does not like how current compilers work. But his argument against it mixes "it would be better if it worked differently" with "A specific pedantic reading of the standard says they are wrong". The second kind of argument seems to undercut his wider point. For his wider point is "Compilers should be reasonable rather than turning on pedantry". At least, that is what I think his point is, and it seems like the much stronger argument to me.

Trying to "trip up" the proponents of current behavior by pointing to a possible miss-reading of a comma is not going to do much. Arguing instead that their practice is harmful seems like a much more likely to work approach. That said, such an argument should probably be civil. The article links to this [1] discussion. The link is supposed to show the peculiar arguments used by proponents of current behavior. What I read there is someone lashing out, calling names, and grand-standing.
Convincing compilers to be more reasonable is probably going to require a very different tone. Not one of "how dare you be so stupid" but one of "perhaps you could consider this side-effect of current behavior" and "have you considered this approach".

I make 102g of alcohol about 1 bottle of 14% abv wine (so, strong-ish, but not exceptionally so) per week, or about 3 cans of 10% stout. Unless my math's wrong (1ml ~= 1g [not quite since it's not pure water, but close enough], 750ml * 0.14 = 105ml ~= 105g)

If the program was previously "fine" on version x.y.z of some compiler, then it is most likely still fine on it. That's the target that the program was written for.

There's some disagreement on whether you can call a program "fine" that breaks after switching to a newer version, or a different compiler.

I see a lot of programmers out there that unfortunately use the behavior of their code on whatever compiler they're using at the moment as a proxy for what the language actually guarantees.
This could be true, but is there any evidence for it? I have a ton of apps. Very few cost more than $5.

>We do not go feral because from a young age we are socialized in our ethnic and religious communities, have a firm family structure with roles, duties, and authority, and we have purpose. We are socialized to feel shame if we express anger outside of its proper context, and can face social repercussions such as ostracisation, ritual shaming, and even exile. We may call this chivalry, futuwwa, javanmardi, or civility. The last of those terms is important as a general catch-all phrase for how to conduct oneself in any given society.

The man talks about inconvenient truths but I feel he deflects the issue with another inconvenient truth and no data to back it up.

The fact of the matter is, there is correlative data that can associate certain quantitative metrics with people who go "feral." Sure family structures could contribute to this but really what's going on is socioeconomic.

The likelihood of a man going feral is directly tied to his socioeconomic level in society relative to others. Data consistently shows this. It makes sense why men are biologically wired this way. You have less to lose as someone who's low on the social ladder so risky and "feral" behavior makes more sense from a cost benefit analysis. Think about it, a man is dirt poor and is therefore already ostracized because he is poor, so what does he have to lose in engaging in risky behavior where the loss is only ostracisation?

The rising trend we see in the world today is directly tied to wealth inequality. It is an economic problem and one of the downfalls of capitalism (a system where there currently is no clear alternative). Family support structures is just a related side effect, but I doubt it has as much causative influence as the author thinks. There are plenty of rich people who come from broken families who do not act feral. If this was simply a family problem you'd see feral people across the economic spectrum.

As wealth inequality rises you will see more and more people become feral until "feral" becomes "normal." It won't necessarily become mad max as long as people who have access to plentiful resources are able to maintain order and control.

As long as there are limited resources and those limited resources are distributed unevenly this problem will always exist.

Men are not stupid. People know what constitutes civilized behavior and what doesn't, don't presume that a lack of family structure makes a man so stupid that he cannot tell the difference. Men who go feral choose to go feral. That's right. It's a choice that's made based off of a cost and benefit analysis of their circumstance.

One issue is that under the prevailing interpretation, the existing semantics is not reliable. You do not know when or if the compilers will take advantage of UB to completely change the semantics they are providing. That's not tenable.

I think it depends on how you mean that. One way to imagine the phrase is to think about people with cloistered views in politics, religion, social views, etc. These people could get "offended" by being exposed to more cosmopolitan views but ultimately evolve to be better people by the experience - either by coming to better understand their own positions or by updating their beliefs to reflect things they have learned.

Another way to be offended though is just for jerks to say horrible things to you. Maybe that could be beneficial in terms of developing tougher skin or something, but it seems like that should at least be an optional thing. You might get tougher skin if I rubbed you with sandpaper for twenty minutes a day - but I should probably get your permission first.

Customer.io: The $400M HubSpot of Product-Led Growth
I have changed file permissions using chmod, I understand how you can with a single value represent state of different flags/settings, by assigning 1, 2, 4, 8... for each flag, however I wouldn't have thought of it if someone asked me about setting a bit. It's not rocket science, I'm just not aware what the term means, nor have I ever consciously programmed something to "set a bit". I don't remember using syntax like flag = flag | thebit. And if I were to change file permissions programatically, it's very likely something like this would and should be abstracted away.

And for enums/config in general I have used something on a higher level, like json/key values config or when I code programmatically, having actual string values for the enums. It seems in most cases representing a config with a single value is overkill and would only decrease code readability. And for readability/maintainability purposes it doesn't make sense to me to have arbitrary numeric values representing setting values, unless we truly have storage issues, but for web apps readability trumps at least here.

Maybe I'm even now still misunderstanding why setting a bit is important.
The pandemic made this crystal clear to me. The phrase "essential worker" is pure comedy.

If like 80% of the population is not an "essential worker" why the fuck do we need to coerce people to work under the threat of eviction, homelessness, and withholding healthcare?

That's why the phrase "essential worker" had to be drastically expanded. To the point of completely destroying any chance of preventing the spread of covid19. Because if we actually took that term at its true meaning, it would destroy these myths that we have about work and the necessity of work. Even containing covid, which we all believed was pretty goddamn important, was not as important as preserving this myth.

We are living in post-scarcity. Which is why everyone except the "essential workers" are so alienated by their work. If you went to college, you're doing yoga and taking prozac to deal with the anxiety of your alienation. If you didn't go to college, you're ODing on fentanyl.

This problem will not go away with more culture and more myth-making.
