In practice this is something we simply do not have enough data points on (places where the population is armed). It’s easy to speculate one way or another, but you are only legally protected in self defense, not homicide. I’m not convinced that people being armed would increase homicide rate, could just as easily decrease it (ie Cold War effect).

As the original comment poster mentioned cars are lethal weapons as well, and you don’t see many intentional hit and runs. Guns are very loud and you’re not likely to go unnoticed committing gun violence.

Personally I don’t know that it is a good thing to have everybody armed, but it really is on nobody but yourself to protect yourself and your dependents. To this end, I carry (and recommend others carry) pepper spray, which is very effective in non-lethally disabling an agitator in self defense without the mental or legal burdens and pains of injuring or killing another human being.

(Disclosure: I used to work in EMS, violence is everywhere in different forms. Additionally I own a shotgun for the sole purpose of hunting food, and I think the idea of “keeping it handy for self defense” is the dumbest home protection idea I’ve ever heard; you’re more likely inflict accidental self harm keeping a weapon handy in the house or carrying it than safely locked up)

Here's a map of what states allow open carry, it is definitely more than you imagined.

and here's the Wiki article for concealed carry in each state

I am a standard SWE (don’t work with finance or write trading algorithms) working in a hedge fund and my offer was ~30% higher than top of band for my level at FAANG, so option #3. Obviously it comes with (much?) worse work life balance.
It's the open mouth chewing sound that causes me to get angry and violent really fast.

To share my experience, I couldn't control it well when I was young.

In my 20s I figured it was better for me to look rude and leave the table, than to start yet another discussion on this topic by suddenly asking the person to chew with their mouth closed, which makes me look rude anyway.

In my thirties I learnt how to tolerate small instances of open mouth chewing, such as those that some people do when tasting new foods or drinks (it reminds me of birds drinking water), mostly because the sound is temporary.
Otherwise, I am better at practicing mindfulness long enough to be able to excuse myself politely.

I know why people chew with their mouths open. It's the air and the taste. It doesn't help with the strong reaction it causes in my brain.

I go from liking you to want to stab you in 3 seconds. Since this is the Internet, I'd like to clarify that I have never gotten into a fight and am an average, non violent person.

I used to have a mild reaction to closed mouth chewing and throat sounds, but I've been able to tolerate those better and now they don't bother me much.

If I could go back in time, I would try to teach younger me how to handle these sounds in a more socially acceptable way.

If you chew with your mouth open, please don't take someone else's strong reaction too personal. It's hard to contain the sudden burst of anger.
The thing is, for a lot of people it is really free.

Poor people pay very little tax, rich people (admitting they wanted to use public transport for whatever reason) use offshore tricks to pay very little tax.

So you have a vocal poor majority of people telling a minority of marginally richer middle class to foot the bill and a handful of rich people who pay the government to make sure things stay the same and they don't need to start paying.
This assumes that the lost human years are productive years, which I think is dubious at best given the

We could count "years of productive work lost", but that feels like a very cynical way to look at it.
Can you provide a source where he said that? Or did he actually say something more like "thats when I consider refactoring it"?

Public speaking is a skill that takes practice to develop.

We are all used to listening to people who've spent a large portion of their lives learning to speak to a public audience, many of whom have had professional coaching as well. It's rare to hear an amateur speak anymore.
You must hate NPR. Nearly every story has a bunch of useless ambient noise, just so you "feel like you're there." It's entirely banal and useless, and it nearly often includes someone pouring coffee or tea. I wish this fad would go away. It doesn't have the broad appeal that its proponents believe.
One mistake I think people like the author make is treating these books as some sort of bible that you must follow to the letter. People who
evangelised TDD were the worst offenders of this. "You HAVE to do it like this, it's what the book says!"

You're not supposed to take it literally for every project, these are concepts that you need to adapt to your needs. In that sense I think the book still holds up.
Poland. I’m paying about 500/mo (USD) for the place. That’s true, I forget how expensive many places are.
Per the venerable etymonline.com:

> The meaning "quickly, swiftly, rapidly" was perhaps in Old English, certainly by c. 1200, probably from or developed under influence of Old Norse fast "firmly, fast." This sense developed, apparently in Scandinavian, from that of "firmly, strongly, vigorously" (to run hard means the same as to run fast; also compare fast asleep, also compare Old Norse drekka fast "to drink hard," telja fast "to give (someone) a severe lesson"). Or perhaps from the notion of a runner who "sticks" close to whatever he is chasing (compare Old Danish fast "much, swiftly, at once, near to, almost," and sense evolution of German fix "fast, fixed; fast, quick, nimble," from Latin fixus). The expression fast by "near, close, beside" also is said to be from Scandinavian. To fast talk someone (v.) is recorded by 1946.

> "act of fasting," late Old English fæsten "voluntary abstinence from food and drink or from certain kinds of food," especially, but not necessarily, as a religious duty; either from the verb in Old English or from Old Norse fasta "a fast, fasting, season for fasting," from a Proto-Germanic noun formed from the verbal root of fast (v.). In earlier Old English fæsten meant "fortress, cloister, enclosure, prison."
It is not unusual. There are around 15 states with constitutional carry and CCW reciprocity laws and counting. Additionally, the vast majority of states that do have CCW licensing requirements are loosening the requirements for approval. Not training requirements, mind you, but the requirements for your "reason." Hell, even in CA there are only 3 counties that aren't "shall issue" at this point. Even LA loosed restrictions like 2 months ago.

> I didn't know it was legal anywhere in the country to carry any kind of gun without a license.

Have you heard of hunting? There are millions of people carrying their firearms around in the wilderness every year.
True, you got a point, but consider: Saying a few words at lunch time can become a kind of automatism quickly. Perhaps inviting people to social time going out to eat somewhere will leave a more lasting memory. It might not be for everyone. For example people having children and all that. But it does give people a chance to be in a setting outside of work, but with people from the job, which might give a chance to bond through other topics.

I think there might not be the perfect reward/thank you for everyone.
> How else would you add/manage external dependencies for your project?

Either using a package manager, or doing it "manually" (like you suggest) – a process which can of course also be automated outside of the build system.

> Do you manually install them on your local host? That's not reproducible and doesn't support multiple versions for different projects.

Of course that's reproducible and supports multiple versions. Any build system worth its salt can be directed to look for dependencies at specific locations. Then multiple versions of things can be installed at multiple locations. This is literally how things have been done for ages.

> Do you manually copy all the external deps into your own project repo, and then manually keep them updated with the latest changes?

I abhor bundling dependencies, so I'm probably not the right person to ask, but supposing that you do want to bundle dependencies: yes (a process that can be scripted just as easily as it can be handed off to the build system!)
Most forks mention their origins somewhere in their bio. I'd still call it a rip considering no credit is being given at all. Why should I need to dig into the Git history to find out the creative origin of Lodash?
The website currently says, "up to $1294." The phrase suggests that at least one user is worth that much and the rest are worth less. One might imagine that that user is clicking on a ton of ads every year (and buying the products).

Indeed. And I have certainly on occasion myself heard Norwegians use the phrase in this sort of way.

My main point is that although the linked article describes the phrase more or less accurately, I can't tell you how many times I've come across articles (typically written by Americans, not uncommonly writers based in Austin) that assume that the phrase's entire origin is contemporary political commentary on modern Texas (despite the phrase predating e.g. George W. Bush's administration -- the first time I saw a wave of these articles -- by decades). In truth the average Norwegian (unless they're in the oil business and have made frequent trips to Houston) doesn't know a whole lot about Texas, just as the average American doesn't know a whole lot about Norway.

RE: Gun control laws themselves, Norway is an interesting place. The laws themselves are strict compared to the USA, and in particular Texas, but there's also a LOT of what we would call "Gun Nuts" (such as my cousin, who is a speed-shooter). I would say Norway -- at least among my more rural relatives -- has a pretty big "Gun Culture", but it manifests pretty differently from how it plays out in the USA.

Where does relaxed regulation and the reintroduction of morality into business mean a race to the bottom?

It also could’ve been implemented in such a way where there were no required new positions and the gov spent tax dollars to write a greatly detailed dummies guide to GDPR, how to implement it, etc so that smaller companies without the resources would have just as much of an advantage.
"they retweeted news that was significantly lower in quality and higher in partisan slant, and their retweets contained more toxic language."

Change the word "retweet" to "publish/broadcast", and that describes most "mainstream" journalism.

I stopped when they referenced Snopes as a "fact checker"....the same Snopes that "fact-checked" a satirical article in the Babylon Bee about whether Brett Kavanaugh should prove via DNA that he's not the son of Hitler. [1]

The authors should write an article on the more fundamental issue of 'truthiness' -- it was once a joke by Stephen Colbert, but now people actually talk in terms of "my truth" and "her truth" -- not _the_ truth.

If gender is a state of mind, then why not race, or even species? With objectivity lost, then they're surely unlikely to find its vestiges on Twitter.

This doesn't help those who have to work from home because of a disability. Finding excuses to discriminate against the disabled is toxic behavior. So I'm going to go ahead and label this article as "toxic" since it recommends a "solution" without mentioning that it's completely inappropriate for some people.
Close enough. That's arguably even better to represent a workaround.

I haven't heard any stories about entire death certificates being fabricated.....you'd either have hundreds of living people who were considered dead by the state, or you'd have entirely fabricated people showing up as "dead".
It is not the same if an insane person enters my home or a school with a pocket knife. And I am thinking at "temporary" insane people, like the ones that after the girlfriend dumps them they go at her work place/home and kill everyone they find including children. Same dude without a gun will do 1-x less damage.

But if the citizens decided this is what they want I am not arguing against that. Just feels weird to hear someone say : "beggars will be nicer since they know I might have a gun" but not also consider the reverse "me, my family will have to be more cautios since anyone could have a gun".
I heard pastor/theologian John Piper recently say something like (this is my paraphrase): "The only way I can possibly be totally satisfied for an eternity, is in the presence of the infinitely good God." One of the biggest influences on my imagination in this regard has been NT Wright's focus on 'the new heavens and the new earth' - the redemption and bringing together of both - I haven't read Alcorn on this but I imagine there's a shared focus on the Bodily reality of things.
> How is C++ a stretch? I don’t think there is any domain left where C++ would not be applicable but C is.

Reusable code. Your library written in C++ can't be called as easily from Python, PHP, Perl, C, Pascal, Rust, Go or any of the other languages people like to use.

Just do a search for uses of libffi and you'll get a pretty good idea why C is still more popular than C++.
I wonder if he'll also sign a ban on NFL deplatforming. Probably not.
Yes. And it's a terrible idea.
Same. I have to work with large separated value files and it can get Emacs chugging on my Mac Book. Also any file large file that has any sort of highlighting (I.E a large xml file) can be difficult to work with.

I'm hoping that GCC emacs will resolve some of these issues. A better Elisp backend will do so much for Emacs and all of it's modes. I think one of Guilemacs goals was to have a better elisp interpreter but I'm not sure they will ever be able to keep up with all the development that has been happening on Emacs

We're not there yet, but defining a stable driver runtime is on our roadmap for 2021:
https://fuchsia.dev/fuchsia-src/contribute/roadmap/2021/stab...

For non-driver interfaces, similar stability commitments may be shared over time, as the platform matures and we get more users.

> Are there any sort of security guarantees to protect against malicious services?

Fuchsia is based on capabilities, ie. handles to access resources, and those include memory regions. So a driver will only be able to access the parts of memory that you delegate to it. I don't know enough about drivers to provide a detailed security analysis, but I think it provides far more isolation than what you have in a monolithic kernel such as Linux.
> Countries would have an incentive to treat their people well, or see a mass exodus

We both agree you don't see it. The question is why you not seeing it proves the two are unrelated ("orthogonal") and therefore shouldn't be mentioned together.

From my reading, he clearly makes the case that they are connected through the balance between freedom to endanger others and freedom from endangerment.

So to me you seem to be claiming that what "freedom" means in America is entirely unrelated to politics. When as far as I can tell, that question has been central to American politics from 1776 to the present.
You know why. US drug conglomerate Merck patented anything to do with the HPV vaccine and is charging as much as it can to maximise profits - netting twice the total R&D costs for Gardasil every year on it.
Hi. Texan here. You are wrong. The state gov markets that because they use FUD to keep special interests happy. This is a marketing move. There's no data that shows having more drunk drivers (we have the most, last I checked) carrying guns is going to make anything safer. In fact, the rate in gun violence in this state is on the rise. Abbott and Patrick don't give two shits sbout Texans. They like cash.
This looks actually nice. We are building something very similar with Zero.sh (Aiming not only to visualize but also interact with data) - It's a very interesting space to be in!
> But then I watched a video by a police officer talking about how on stops, officers would draw weapons on cars they pulled over registered to CCP owners and I kind of understood why they want to get rid of it.

This feels so backwards to me. The law abiding citizens that made the effort to comply with the law are subject to more scrutiny and harsher treatment than not.
The purpose of testing in my example is for correctness, not continuous integration. I would argue regardless of "production" use, the fact that this is publishing a widely read newspaper makes it highly impactful and more likely to influence policy and decisionmaking, thus we want to know if its correct !

it took me fighting 6 months with viacom support to get my song plays for last.fm . spotify improved from 2 weeks to 2 days but its still ridiculous to call something true data portability that is not automatic and not instant. a lot of companies tried giving me semi obfuscated pdfs or html without classes or classes that were random strings, we need to improve the law to enforce instant availability and an industry standard format like json or xml. also this needs to be completely automatable without having to do it myself.
Good luck to them when this finally hits the Supreme court.

LOL I'm from a Northern California suburb and have a very similar experience. No AK, but I did get a 12 gauge for my 12th birthday (grew up hunting upland game birds) and got my grandfather's .30-.30 passed down to me when I was 13.
That's an, ahhh, "interesting" reinterpretation of the phrase. I'm sure it's an attractive understanding if it suits your political stance, but I don't see any support for it in the dictionary...
Does Apple's M1 still support AArch32, it using an ARMv8.4-A instruction set ? I'm assuming no 32-bit code is ever executed on macOS on ARM, how much die space would removing the 32-bit support save ?

With WWDC '21 being only weeks away, I wonder if we're going to see an ARMv9 M2.
PHP's documentation allowed (allows? Not sure anymore) comments. Especially in the pre-StackOverflow days, this was absolutely brilliant. I'm sure that's a pretty heavy moderation burden for any successful language (especially these days, maybe not as much when PHP's docs first added that feature) but damn it's nice.

I love the idea of bugtracker-as-forum (you're right that they already are and we're just in denial about it and don't design them to do that well) but it's the kind of thing that doesn't seem productizable (how many companies would want that, for instance? I doubt many) and non-commercial non-trivial open source isn't such a lively field, lately.
So if I have an online magazine, I can't choose what kinds of authors I want to invite? How is that any different than reddit deciding what communities to have/not have...
IIRC, MIT periodically locks each generally-unlocked through-corridor exterior door, lest a public right of way become established.
You completely ignored their point. We don't care about COVID-19 in this discussion. We care about how many people were dying from any cause. Then you attack the economist as a dishonest source when they literally provided their data and made it very easy to audit and verify their claims. Join the actual conversation here, please.
