The "goal" of StackOverflow is not to best serve the individual who posts a question. Their goal is to best serve the individuals who find the answer to their question without needing to post.

Once you look at it from that frame, it makes sense why they are harsh against poorly worded or duplicated questions. They aren't trying to aid any specific individual, just the collective.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ODNI News Release No. 11-20

April 30, 2020
Intelligence Community Statement on Origins of COVID-19

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Office of the Director of National Intelligence today issued the following Intelligence Community (IC) statement:

“The entire Intelligence Community has been consistently providing critical support to U.S. policymakers and those responding to the COVID-19 virus, which originated in China. The Intelligence Community also concurs with the wide scientific consensus that the COVID-19 virus was not manmade or genetically modified.

“As we do in all crises, the Community’s experts respond by surging resources and producing critical intelligence on issues vital to U.S. national security. The IC will continue to rigorously examine emerging information and intelligence to determine whether the outbreak began through contact with infected animals or if it was the result of an accident at a laboratory in Wuhan.”

-------------------------

Stress on the quote: "The Intelligence Community also concurs with the wide scientific consensus that the COVID-19 virus was not manmade or genetically modified."

So, is it for scientific or political reasons you are ignoring this?
“Cigarette companies allow smokers to choose not to smoke cigarettes”
It's not a fallacy, unless you take it out of context. The context was as follows: the grand-grandparent comment pointed out that this change achieves nothing.

The grandparent comment didn't challenge it, but asked rhetorically what [else] a mayor could do.

This response implies that something had to be done (by the mayor) by definition, whether useful or not. And that's what's fallacious to me.

Municipal entities aren't really actors in international politics, and when they try playing such a role, the results tend to be dubious. That's my opinion at least.

As for your comment - that "people can make more than one decision in a year" - it, in turn, feels like a strawman argument to me, because noone said that they can't. There is still some limit, though (obviously larger than 1, but nevertheless finite), and renaming a street always comes at a substantial cost - both for the city and private entities. Cost associated with the need for changing street name signs, changing documents etc. Maybe that cost is worth paying, but an ad absurdum line of argument isn't something that could convince me of it.
It's really remarkable what Apple has achieved here.

"An actor or public figure whose politics I disagree with can and should be publicly criticized, and their suffering some financial harm due to the public boycotting their work is a legitimate consequence of their views."

So you think it's perfectly acceptable to attack an individuals livelihood because you disagree with them? The political climate in the US is split pretty evenly at the moment, so in your view we would have no actors or public figures expressing a political opinion. No matter what the opinion is there would be individuals, like yourself, who disagree with it and therefore the speaker should be cancelled. If everyone felt that way then nobody would be allowed to say anything because all expression would lead to cancellation.
This goes completely against freedom of the individual as well as freedom of speech. It is a direct slide into authoritarianism and is diametrically opposed to liberalism.
OP is correct you are not a liberal you are an authoritarian.
Congratulations!

My kid was also a preemie and got kangaroo care alternating with being wrapped in a UV-emitting blanket. Now he is 8 and still blows me away every day with his kindness, smarts, skills and ... uh ... argumentation. :)

The benefits of kangaroo care are worth studying, but the results of the study are about as unexpected as the 'your cats love you back' study.
Let's hope not. They're deliberately trying to get people to take on debt rather than just do card payments, and even simple things like buying a book through a web site requires declining several offers for paying with credit.

Unfortunately, they're huge, and I doubt the Swedish authorities will do more than give them a fine and a slap on the wrist.

Rogin's opinion peace here includes something about that:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/03/04/covid-tru...

By the end of March, China had delivered aid to 120 countries, a massive “mask diplomacy” effort. Early on, these Chinese efforts were widely welcomed — but later “mask diplomacy” would become synonymous with China’s use of aid as a means of leverage over countries that might want to criticize it or its handling of the coronavirus outbreak that had begun within its borders.

...

Privately but explicitly, Chinese diplomats told U.S. officials they would cut off exports of medical supplies to the United States if Washington wasn’t careful in this war of words. Beijing was seeking to snuff out any discussion of the virus, along with any criticism of its domestic response and any allegation that it was hiding or misrepresenting information about the virus. In a move that U.S. officials saw as punitive, Beijing had halted exports of items such as face masks, even when they were made by American companies like 3M, which had factories inside China

Ran into permission issues with Docker on Linux and found this useful. I ended up going the ACL route.

To make the ACL recommendation more universally applicable, I'd recommend changing

setfacl -dm "u:alexandros:rw" ~/alpine

to

setfacl -R -dm "u:alexandros:rwx" ~/alpine

- -R is needed in case ~/alpine has subdirectories you need to make accessible

- "x" is needed in case the container creates subdirectories (like with "node_modules")
You probably are familiar, but for some newer folks: I almost always add a "go to beginning of next line" as the end of the macro so that I can e.g. 10@t to repeat it 10 times. Makes it much quicker than @t on each line once you have more than a few.
Do they always open up an account when you pay by card? Because I've definitely paid online purchases with my credit card with Klarna as the processor, but I am not aware of having an account there.
> It might be possible to build something like using the libraries that Clang provides, but it would be a huge feat -- like a master's or part of a PhD.

Yeah, that's how I feel about it too. A useful MVP would probably be shorter, though, even if it sometimes couldn't do the inlining, or misidentified the called function. I mean, this is C++, I haven't seen any product with a completely reliable type hints & autocompletion, and yet even buggy ones are still very useful.

> Have you tried CLion by JetBrains?

Not yet. Going by the experience with IntelliJ, I expect to be a very good product. But right now, I'm sticking to Emacs.

In my experience, professional IDEs (particularly the JetBrains ones) are the best for working with a particular programming language, but they aren't so good for polyglot work and all the secondary tasks surrounding programming - version control, file management, log inspection, and even generalized text editing. My Emacs setup, on the other hand, delivers superior ergonomics for all these secondary tasks, and - as long as I can find appropriate language server - is within order of magnitude on programming itself. So it feels like a better deal overall.

So, while watching the excellent "Great War" video series a few years back about World War 1, it repeatedly came up that the generals were caught off guard by how technology had changed war. In particular, the advantage had swung to the defense, and for the first time no matter how good the morale and courage of your charging troops, they could all get mowed down before they reached the enemy. It took a while before they realized that it was a new game.

I suspect we are in a similar time, albeit in a mirror image way; the advantage has dramatically swung to the offense. You can attack your opponent's infrastructure, without even showing your face. We could end up in a cyber war aimed at each other's critical infrastructure (which has a real potential to kill people), without ever really deciding we wanted to go to war. The ability to even know who your opponent is, has never been as big a problem before. I suspect we will have some WW1-style misunderstandings at the top, in several countries.

Some of my stuff is in Raku, which indeed supports Unicode operators. But other coding isn't, and it'd be nice to use ligature fonts for those.

No joke, I loved his recent series about the history of textile production. Really excellent, like most of the stuff he has written.

The Paradox ones are OK but I haven't played the games so I kind of trailed off on those.
Point 1 is a big point. Lots of things make a birth not “low risk.”

Otherwise I think it’s an awesome idea and encourage people to consider it.

Birthing centers are also a great alternative. I do not especially like the idea of hospitals as default places of birth, but acknowledge the potential value when needed.

I had the worst headache of my life a few days after getting the J&J vaccine, and went to the emergency room because my wife was worried I’d had Ana aneurysm or something. The ER visit happened the day before the news broke about blood clots and whatnot. The doctor told me it was absolutely unrelated to the vaccine. They did a scan with some contrast dye, said everything looked fine, and discharged me. I couldn’t do strenuous activity for over a week because I’d feel the headache again, almost like a part of the inside of my skull had been scraped, I don’t know how else to describe it.

I'm sorry to hear about your billing issue. Unfortunately, the back office has always been a little lax. I don't think for a minute their inability to close your account quickly was nefarious or intentionally fraudulent, but of course from your POV the motivation is quite properly irrelevant.
Because I am "literally" trying to recreate a better version of medicare and Medicaid. Those terms are not trademarked. If you look at Medicare.gov and Medicare.com you can see, the term is actually used a ton and the gov does not care. They care much more about bad-faith actors. One of the main benefits is I don't have to tell "regular" people what I am trying to do. This is my "moon-shot project so even if it was an issue I would not change it just to cause a big fuss and get the press from it. The bigger issue was using all of the state HHS logos, but they don't really care about that either.

In preparation for my big launch I needed to test the "do they care" theory so I literally did 2 press releases.

1 targeted directly at the D.C. area and one nationally, every contact they have made with me has been a positive interaction.

This is a good reminder to me that while sometimes it's a pain in the neck to make sure there are alt tags for every image, or make sure things are in text form rather than a pdf, that you can tab through a site, etc. - it makes it so everyone can use the internet more easily and that's important.

I work with restaurants a lot as a part of my job, and there's been a big push to make sure all the websites are ADA compliant; it's something all front end devs and digital marketers should keep in mind.
Companies want to keep workers non-adversarial. They give themselves the right to be as adversarial as they want. They're likely to be extremely adversarial against workers who want a raise in pay, better hours, better working conditions, generally anything that would reduce their profits in any way.

i really don't see alternatives, since you must cover your costs, either charge time/attention of your users ( advertisement ) or money ( vip/premium features, paywall )... other possible option would be "charge computational resources" by ( openly ) runing some mining software on their machines.
Singletons are fine and useful in many situations. You just have to understand what singletons entail, and design them correctly. If his singleton had a "SendEmail" function that accepted an Email object with To, From, Subject, Body, etc. fields, it wouldn't have been an issue.
Whoa; lots of great responses :)

I've read all the comments, and they're helpful, illuminating, insightful, and I've learned a lot (genuinely).

But overall they did not change and rather enforced my perspective:

1. the "Easy, out of the box, set-it-and-forget-it, everybody knows this" method to safely and easily to this seems to still change every 6-12 months, and still doesn't compare to convenience of just pushing a button on Netflix.

2. Paying for VPNs or Seedboxes etc easily equals the cost of a "just works" streaming service, while incurring new and exciting security & privacy threat vectors.

3. Most importantly, they don't take into account on what I will put forward is the actual mainstream public scenario: family that just wants to watch stuff . Between spouse who cannot be bothered with three remotes and two computer keyboards and six devices and 7 steps to watch something they could otherwise just stream on their phone, parent-in-law who wants to watch NBA/NHS/Soccer/Whatever reliably and in real time with no interruptions, kids who want to watch Paw Patrol safely now now now, all of this at the same time and all of them expecting six nines reliability and utter convenience across all their devices all the time always.

I'm off that particular wagon train, and if that makes me less of a computer geek, then so be it :-)
Inaction is political as well. There's no neutral instance. Keeping in the freenode is not "apolitical" is backing freenode.
> With academics you need to be especially vigilant about the difference between vanity metrics and real output.

What would you consider "real output", especially in contrast to "vanity metrics"?

Asking mostly because I'm curious how someone in your position would see it.

For a lot of folks, academia's a fun ecosystem to participate in: they enjoy it and it pays the bills. To participate, they need to maintain popularity, much as a living organism needs to maintain energy. So their focus is on optimizing their popularity. They'd be primarily interested in metrics that represent their popularity, especially if those metrics help them plan how to gain more of it to further advance their career.

But other folks participate in academia to do research for other reasons, e.g. advancing technology. They're more likely to focus on maintaining sustenance-level popularity rather than maximizing popularity. They'd tend to dismiss many popularity-centric metrics as frivolous.

So if you're helping lead a research-institution, then are you primarily concerned with "real output" in the sense of "stuff that makes us popular enough to garner continued support"? Or are you more interested in another goal, like advancing science/technology? And how do you assess the value of a researcher's work given these goals?
Have you considered using the facilities and proximity to academic infrastructure to host academic conferences instead of full-time research? That might be a more realistic way to attract top talent when you are first starting. You would obviously want to do this in discussion with relevant nearby academic institutions, but being able to offer free accommodations for attendees + maybe some travel expenses could help to lure people for a week event, and a conference with the right attendees coming together can definitely benefit academic research.

A similar option would be to host classes or seminars on cutting edge research, taught by one or a few top researchers and attended by post-docs. Not full-time, but a way to start.

If researchers find it beneficial, if it's a conducive environment and the financials are right, if you master the role of "host," then you might be able to increase the number of conferences/seminars per year and, eventually, with a high-enough frequency, add full-time support staff and longer-term functionality (e.g., researcher-in-residence) that can lead to year-round activity.

Maybe this is a slow approach, but even one well-run conference can be beneficial and you'll be able to learn how to do this and make connections along the way.

You do have to put all your projects under directories that ASDF knows about, but you can freely add directories to that list.
I think it's both easy and hard, depending how you look at it. Hard because it's a tough ML problem where you have to combat overfitting and the messiness of the real world; easy because crypto is clearly one of the easiest markets to trade and there are opportunities all over the place (compared to equities for example). On top of my head: stat arb, yield arb, exchange arb, funding arb, market making / liquidity providing (CEX/DEX), doing/preventing sandwich attacks, good old yield farming...

Well, old users still ssh in and use the console interface. The web interfaced ("Engaged") is a late addition.

The pricing has been stable since the 1990s or so. Sure, it's harder to defend that price level in 2021, but consider that (a) everyone is there with their real legal name and (b) the price keeps spam and trolls away for the most part.

So I think the best place to start is looking into row-level security in Postgres. Its a familiar place to start and gives a high return. Row level security can be used to implement the user / tasks use case you described.
