this entire conversation you have forcibly dictate terms & refused honest engagement.

to repeat, again, i genuinely don't understand why you would work so hard to justify anti-web behaviors, particularly ones users are so vulgarly locked.

i have tried to support a better future. you assaulted growth & progress & participation & standards, & have dodged ducked & rolled you way around facing the assaulting you've done against progress. you pick only choice quotes & ignore the real meat of all topics.

answer my top question please. rather than shirking my genuine question, rather than taking the lowest offenses & sufferances you can possibly draw: addressing those faults I've described. you find only the lowest forms of disagreement. you should answer with a modest middle or higher level. but you focus only on how wounded & wronged you feel for being called out for your attack dog aggression against the web & user choice. so I ask again: why you would work so hard to justify anti-web behaviors, particularly ones users are so vulgarly locked.

everything about this conversation has indeed, as you say, been terrible, just awful. but my motive & objective are clear. you are a mask. nothing is clear about why you would be so aggressive & restraining & limiting to humanity. I would like you to justify your closed world view, your aggressive defense of Apple's domineering. please answer. please stop this disingenuous dodging. offer something real, offer some truth about yourself. stop dodging. stop trying to assault me & my character. i have made myself obvious, and nothing about your intents is clear. why would you impose your close minded narrow views on every other person who owns an apple product? why would you go against the common, well known expectation that browser makers implement standards before finalization, to learn & improve before it is too late?
So if the gene, which is DNA, is expressing something that changes the metabolism, doesn’t that mean a change in DNA is ultimately responsible?

Edit: also if you could introduce a change in the cells that only changed the metabolism and didn’t alter DNA you could prove your theorem if you then caused them to be tumorigenic.

Have you ever trained a few hundred or more 'non-tech' people (and I mean people who don't know what a file is) on a switch from Windows to something non-proprietary? How did that go for you, if so?
Would that normally be in such a document? Plenty of engineering type documents I have read don't lay out threats in plain English nor do they try to add emotional urgency to them.

Reminds me of this comment about how scientists sometimes understate how certain they are: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VG_s2PCH_c&t=785s.
I'm not sure what you can do in that situation if you don't know where the person lives and they're in a foreign country whose language you don't speak. Who do you even contact?
> TikTok quickly adapts to show you videos that you're interested in.

I've read this and they must have some really brilliant people working there because they are able to confidently stream you whatever is next that keeps you hooked. There's no home page for you to pick and choose. You're just getting one dopamine hit to the brain right after the other.

> TikTok seems like a next generation YouTube though.

YouTube seems to incentivize longer content which seems to be the wrong thing to do. I can watch a short TikTok video and feel that I actually learned something without the time commitment.
They are literally doing cpuid checks.
It doesn't scream "Get Out", does it?

When I read those sentences as a layman, they don't tell me the building may collapse.

That statement is buried on page 7 of the report, no bold text. Yet, above it on page 6 a reminder to follow OSHA-approved window washing techniques is in bold.

Given the context and formatting, this warning seems more like a pro-forma CYA than anything else.
Also first interplanetary landing and first space station. To this day the cheapest and most effective way to send humans to LEO is still Soviet.
In some languages they can be, and macro calls are specially marked at the call site instead of (or in addition to) the definition.

But in LISP they are called and expanded implicitly, with the compiler/interpretter keeping track of what's what.

Someone correct me here - the PE report identified multiple structural(?) concerns with the concrete in the parking garage, and this is conflated as evidence that the inspector knew the residential building was unsafe? Are they not separate structures? Did the garage collapse as well?

The report makes clear that the integrity of the balconies on the residential structure couldn't be verified due to additional flooring materials installed by condo owners.
I've attended some scientific conferences in cuba in the medical field and i can tell you while the country is extremely poor, they are very advanced in the medical field. Cuba has the highest number of doctors per capita of any country and university-level education in the medical field is basically free so it is accessible to a wide percentage of the population.
I worked for a civil engineering firm. You are typically hired by and owner to draw up plans. You put jobs out for bid but the contracts are between the owner and the construction company.

Insurance and the threat of lawsuits keep the engineering part of the business pretty clean.

I think your conflating them with city inspectors which come by and make sure construction is up to code.
I didn't buy insurance
Speculators are buying lumber futures. When too many start betting that the price will go up it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.
It’s voluntary wealth redistribution. You see it every cycle. It’s fine. It’s probably core to why market economies outperform.
When they decide they don't want you as a customer any more woudn't you prefer it to be arbitrary rather than targeted specifically in your direction?
I think when you pay an engineering firm thousands of dollars for a report you tend to read the whole thing. What is it that doesn't jive with the NPR article? The report does indeed call out major structural damage. The report warns that without remediation the damage will spread, exponentially.
> we should expect the distortion of power to be greater than the loss of honest expressiveness.

Intuitive expectations are not the same as empirical data.

> There is no "correct" model in voting theory.

Of course there is. The ideal would be a model that is exactly like real life.

> What does "honest" voting mean in cardinal contexts?

Normalization of sincere utilities.

> and the missing priors make its results partially meaningless.

Be specific. It just sounds like you don't understand how it was done.
> In addition, the drawbacks must be then compared with other voting methods, which may face the same bullet issue in equal measure.

A robust cross-system analysis shows that approval voting is more robust to strategy than almost any other method. Most ranked voting methods, for example, fail the favorite betrayal criterion.

Reading about the character flaws of public figures is fascinating to me, in (I'm assuming) the same way people like paparazzi photos of celebrities getting coffee in sweatpants. Bleary-eyed, frumpy, regular-sized, basically normal.

Part of the attraction is a kind of zero-sum ego trip. Bringing stars down to earth lets me believe that I'm closer to having "made it" in some vague, ill-defined way, without ever having to leave the couch.
I just reinstalled it today. This is one of the few social media apps where I have to snap myself out of it to realize that I've spent too much time on it. I don't know if it's the vertical auto-scroll of content but stuff like Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram give you some positive space between elements to give you some kind of pause to realize, "oh I've been scrolling endlessly, time to quit". Like others have mentioned, their algorithms are really good.
Yup. As for why they would care, something to do with the recent FATF travel rule I suppose.
I don't even know where to start with this.

> Politics is saying mean things about the other side in support of your side.

This is not the definition of politics, this is how it is being executed in some places, there are plenty of places where this is not the default method.

> If you don't believe the other side to be fundamentally bad in some way, why are you fighting them?

This only makes sense if Twitter is your only source of political news/opinion.

You may think the other group is swell but have different opinions on how to get to the same end goal. You may have a disagreement on what an ideal world looks like or what our current one looks like (ie. different perspectives) . None of that includes "fundamentally bad".

See: all parties that have splintered off from a common one. They are still in the same corner but have adjusted their views, strategy or goals. They don't suddenly think their earlier compatriots are evil incarnate.
Here's the report: https://www.townofsurfsidefl.gov/docs/default-source/default...

Page 7 talks about the parking garage: "Abundant cracking and spalling of varying degrees was observed concrete columns, beams, and walls. Several sizeable spalls were noted in both the topside of the entrance drive ramp underside of the pool / entrance drive / planter slabs, included instances with exposed, deteriorating rebar Though some of this damage is minor, most of the concrete deterioration needs to be repaired in a timely fashion."

Page 8 has relevant photos.

The NPR article seems to focus on the deck slabs, but they are not particularly load-bearing so are unlikely to be the cause of the building to collapse. Edit: I guess it is possible the failure of a deck slab could collapse the columns inwards, but my guess is that the columns failed (bending or collapsing).

Spalling on columns is a problem, especially if it is due to the column starting to fail.

Disclaimer: I am not a structural engineer.
I didn't downvote you, but my guess is that people, like me, don't find that block of text that damning. The text talks about damage to the slab. It does not connect slab damage to damage that could risk the entire building.

If there is risk that a component failure leads to systematic failure, I would expect that a report would delineate that risk.
The culture of quality differs between sites at different auto makers. You can easily tell by just comparing interior trim fit between same model cars made in Japan vs southern us. Manufacturing sites do not share common value typically core sites favor quality and non core optimize for rate/cost
Allen Shawn was interviewed about his father on Fresh Air a while back [0]. The interview always stuck with me (I still remember it all these years later) as Allen spoke intimately and personally about his father's life and the fact that he had two families at one time.

A somewhat related fun fact: The New Yorker was founded by Harold Ross [1], a Coloradoan from Aspen, but long before it was the glitzy ski town it is today.

There are both un-smoked and smoked variants, different shapes etc. I think the traditional is the braided one. Definitely recommended if you ever visit Orava/Tatras.
Except caramelized onions aren't caramelized. Or not meaningfully anyway. The color comes from Maillard browning. The sweetness comes from breaking down larger sugars into smaller, and concentration through evaporation of water.

Caramelization products aren't sweet, they're primarily bitter. Sweetness in caramel products comes from residual sugar that hasn't been caramelized.
The development ought to be mixed residential/commercial. Let’s stop adding to the housing crisis :-/
Why do we need decentralization in any app?

Short answer; When done well, it makes the app more resilient against a variety of issues/risks that arise from relying on a server/service/single-point-of-failure.
If it isn't obvious, your simplified accounting excludes opportunity cost. Actualised losses are much higher (otherwise insurance companies would be marketing the same logic).
You need secureboot,GPT partition table as well
The good thing about NPR is, you can ask for clarification and they will provide it for you, if you are so inclined, and they will correct it if they are wrong.
That's more like a voicing a disagreement or disdain than hate speech.
What a tragedy. I've been very fortunate to be part of the SMW romhacks community for a few years, and have seen bsnes used heavily over that time. It's so sad to hear this news. There are a few prominent figures in the romhacks community who are notably trans, and the community is so welcoming and kind - I've never even really seen it come up during streams or other interactions, they're just a person doing things and it's a non-issue. I had hoped that things were improving, and that the world was starting to shift to be more accepting, but I know it's a slow process. Too slow for Near. What a loss. We have to do better.
> How is the person speaking for the dead qualified to make this accusation?

How are you? You clearly assert this isn't murder. Convincing someone to commit suicide has at least garnered a manslaughter charge in the US.

edit: I also fall squarely in the "this is murder" side of this. This isn't even close to the first time KiwiFarms has done this - there is obvious intent, they seek people out to harass who are unstable, repeatedly. If you directly aim to kill someone, and your actions lead to their death, that is murder - a knife or a gun or doxxing as the weapon isn't relevant.
Easy answer: you get The value that you insured it for (either replacement cost or actual cash value with depreciation). You definitely wouldn’t insure it for 2M because those premiums would be stupid
I want to know if an analytical monotone is typical for these reports. Would a report like this be expected to emphasize urgency or would the reader be assumed to know that "major structural damage" means urgent?

If I were writing a report on a piece of software for my boss and I found unsanitized inputs to an SQL database, I wouldn't highlight that any more than anything else I found as he would know that was severe.
All this sort of study can do is to point to where there might be connections to follow up on by doing the real research: randomly assign people to diets and watch the results. But that step never seems to get done. Instead we have this endless series of “studies” which show us absolutely nothing.

You said that all cause mortality increases on a ketogenic diet, and this study shows no such thing.
There is what looks like conventional namespacing.
The human body is complex and ultimately poorly understood. These studies typically focus on short-term hunger cues which aren't necessarily indicative of why someone can happily eat 1 meal a day and someone else feels compelled to eat mcdonalds 3x per day.

Anecdotally, If I have a deficiency I'll keep snacking/eating until I've found something that satisfies the deficiency or I'm completely full. Eating to fullness 3x per day or more is a great way to gain a ton of weight.

It’s easy to start thinking that the bullies are bullying because of behaviors, identities, or politics they don’t agree with.

But ultimately many of us have strong feelings on many things, yet still possess the empathy to care about the well-being of those we disagree with.

In my experience, bullies may use a certain external “vector” to bully others, but they do so because of their own internal issues that they choose to deal with by inflicting pain on others by exploiting those vectors.

In some cases this might be anti-LGBTQ, in others it might be classist, or really any place someone can find and exploit a weakness [1] in someone else.

At that point, it doesn’t matter if the person you’re bullying is somebody “on your side”, because it’s not really about the surface issue to begin with.

Unfortunately it makes situations like this even harder to deal with, because it’s not just a matter of trying to impart empathy on the bully.

[1] which is not to imply any identity is necessarily a weakness, but rather may be something a person struggles with personally and therefore provides an opening for someone else to exploit.
I think for many people in communities like this, it's easy to just place the blame on the rest of the community. If dozens of people are participating, they don't think their actions count for much.

As for the people running the site, I don't know, they are just cruel.
I mean "The Fine Article" with a glimmer of the more vulgar reading.
This compiler provably follows the semantics allowed (and defined by) the C standard. Optimiaztions have nothing to do with UB. Optimizations simply aim to produce more efficient machine code that still matches the semantics as defined by the C standard. Non-optimizing compilers (or this compiler with optimizations off) can (and often do) produce exactly the same output.

The C standard Appendix J.2 contains an incomplete list of undefined behavior causes. Note that some of them simply cannot be checked at compile time, eg "The execution of a program contains a data race (5.1.2.4)" cannot have the semantics of the resulting program defined by the compiler. C does not provide the compiler with enough information to statically prevent data races. I'm not familiar with CompCert, but it should be possible to go through appendix J.2 and find the UB causes which are detectable at compile time, and then go through CompCert and see what it does for each. What it does will likely depend on the particular program it's compiling, of course.
From your two comments I think you’re equating someone’s competence with literally programming but at some point literally programming is not the only path available to you in technical leadership. This is why sometimes those with more experience expect to (and are) paid more despite not outputting more code.
I've never used Oracle and, given it's reputation, never will. Is there anything that it does better than other databases?

I would imagine that tooling such as syntax highlighting and decent errors should alleviate that sufficiently to not be a serious practical problem.

But yeah, I read over the "axe" and "a×e" difference on my first read (and I browse HN at quite a large zoom by default, not because of vision issues, I just like larger text as a matter of personal preference).

Either way, I don't really see the significant advantages in the first place. In spite of the article and some of the strong words of some in this thread ("horrendous", "embarrassing", etc.), I don't see the problem is with just sticking to ASCII. The only case I've seen is where it would have been nice is when «T» was briefly considered for Go generics instead of <T> (later changed to [T]) to avoid overloading the existing meanings of <> and []. I actually would have liked that. But / vs ÷? shrug.
It's all Maillard browning, just more extensive in the longer cooked onions. If there were significant caramelization happening, the onions would be long ago burnt and acrid.
In such arguments, it is assumed that the current sate of things is already acceptable. That's exactly why people don't want to change them.

They're the most egregious but academics in general suffer from the same flaw.

People criticize SSC because they're like "uh leave it to the REAL experts", but A) it's just opinions and B) the 'real experts' are unreadable, so I'll continue to ignore them while occasionally checking out astralcodexten.
But the pool and deck aren't within/under the residential units, so I'm not sure why that text would be so alarming.

It may be equally likely the next lot underground garage construction shifted the ground near the condo and caused it's collapse.
Duolingo had the opposite effect on me. It started nagging me often enough to do things I stopped using it.
I've talked to Near personally a year ago when he reached out to me and all I have to say is how fucking dare you.
If this starts making money, the competitors will appear everywhere.
The owners were tax evaders and bribers. Truth had no place in their vocabulary. They are dead and gone, current owners have to cope with this shitstorm
A concrete slab, with water penetrated rebar will progressively fail in an exponential manner because rebar oxidizes = irrestible expansion and progressive expansion of the corroded area. Concrete and steel in these situations turn to dust and gravel with zero residual strength.
If the other building has a pool in the same relative position it needs inspection ASAP. If no pool, they may be OK as that mechanism of failure would be absent.
That said, the owners were such scumbags that other structural shortcuts may be hidden and will need to be dealt with
Someone bullied by Kiwi Farms decided to hit back at a forum member there. Said Kiwi also had an account on my wiki farm, so they demanded that I divulge PII about the user or else become a victim of cyber bullying myself. Suffice to say that I decided to enforce the GDPR, and to this day there is an attack page on the internet calling myself and my mother pedophiles because I chose to follow the law.

Kiwi Farms is a toxic community where even their own targets are dangerous.
The takeaway is not "unicode is overly complex", it's that an algorithm for sorting strings consisting of any possible human language characters is super convoluted, and it's pretty amazing that unicode gives us a standard collation algorithm including localizations, that works remarkably well.

But... is complicated enough to implement that many environments apparently haven't felt there was enough demand to do so?
The biggest problem with KF, as I see it, isn’t really what they do and say. Most of what they do is quote people, and most of what they say is snappy, mean quips about the quotes. I’m sure there have been incidents when forum members escalated further, but it’s not their usual MO.

The problem is that they specifically select targets based on how they react. The more a target obsesses over their own thread or responds emotionally to what KF posts about them, the more KF focuses attention on them. So KF’s favorite targets who get the most abuse are going to be exactly those who are least equipped to handle it.
