I do not think that is incongruent to thinking long term.

Creating unnecessarily resilient buildings is a misallocation or resources and a problem if it’s own.

If you think there will be volatility in the long term, then investing in flexibility is the right long term play.
What I meant [1] was: In Python, invariants are enforced by conventions, not by the compiler. If that's not suitable for a given use case, then Python is entirely unsuited for that use case, regardless whether it provides built-in decimal types or user-defined decimal types. That's why I said that your objection regarding invariant enforcement is irrelevant to this discussion.

The read to write ratio on a internet forum is about 100 to one, so if you got 200 people there will be 2 ppl talking to each other. Usually the same two people. The critical mass for an online community is around 1000 ppl.

Ohh and you need moderators. Cant even have a presidential debate without moderators, so good luck having 1000 people together without strict rules. It will eventually attract the worst kind of people.

The rules and mechanics of the thing the ppl gather for will reflect on the group, so its actually possible to indirectly steer the community...
Not really. Maybe it's more pronounced in specific areas of the US. I know plenty of people who care about their local communities and neighbors.
I suppose that most people don't ever erase anything from a Python dictionary? Erasing items would lower the effective load factor of the array (or be O(n) so you can do a big memcpy). It's interesting that this highlights how Python users use dictionaries very differently from how I use hash tables (as a C and C++ programmer).

In the last few years, people have been designing hash tables to run at much higher load factors, but if the decision was made before ~2018, I can see why the iteration speed argument would result in a structure like this.
> the prairies are terrible for farming due to the extremely poor soil

What? Farming is a major prairie industry due to the good soil. Are you confusing the prairies with another region?

I'm interested in what modifications you have made. I've been trying LunarVim a bit for the last week and am on the fence about going back to SpaceVim or just bare neovim. Not sure, still evaluating...
It's still a conscious decision by the person who put the change in master and the person who reviewed it. You just implement the tests at the same time as the thing it's testing and merge them together.

It works fine as long as developers are used to working that way.
I find this incredibly interesting. Years ago I read a long and very detailed article about Jerri Cobb, another member of the Mercury 13 crew. A prime example of somebody to admire and revere. These women were robbed.

Speaking for myself, I tried managed solutions at the major cloud providers. Way overpriced and not that performant.

I then decided to go back to running my own database but this time in a docker container on k3s on bare metal. A few hours fiddling with the config upon launch and that's it. Rock solid, way more performant because I can tweak the config to my specific needs.

In the 2 years I have been running a MySQL server on k3s, I have about 60-90 seconds of down time. Caused by 3 separate instances where the db became unresponsive and k3s rebooted it. Most likely just some tweaks i need to make with the health check timeouts.

It has been more set it and forget than a managed solution and about 20% the cost.

I think that until somebody shows that Copilot is willing to copy distinctive code fragments verbatim, unprompted, with a high occurrence rate, I'm not going to start accusing Github of building an engine to cynically exploit the IP rights of open source copyright holders for profit. I've seen no evidence of that, and in absence of evidence I prefer to remain neutral and open-minded.

How would that work, anyway? Rare, distinctive code forms seem much more difficult for an ML thing to suggest with a high-ish confidence level, since there won't be much training data. The Quake thing makes sense because it's one of the most famous sections of code in the world, and probably exists in thousands of places in the public Github corpus.

I'm emphasizing distinctive because a lot of boilerplate takes up a lot of room, but still doesn't make a reasonable argument for copyright infringement when yours looks like somebody else's.

If the condo board doesn’t have the will or the unit owner votes to approve the work, it won’t be done.
Condo issues aside, another takeaway is that reinforced concrete is a bad material as it’s currently used. You’re lucky to get 50 years out of it with perfect maintenance, and places like Florida are even worse because any water ingress is guaranteed to be salt water.

A much more reasonable approach would be to ban iron or steel reinforced concrete in new Florida construction, but I doubt that the government would be willing to do that.

The logistics would be a challenge. You’d have to transport the brine from the coast to the desert. In some places this would be a relatively short trip (Israel, North Africa, California) but in other places you’d be shipping a lot of heavy fluid over long distances. And you don’t even have someone buying the stuff on the other end; you’re just disposing of it.

I am not sure how this is possible

Editors like Vim, Emacs or VSCode are all about the plugins

I use emacs for org mode
And VSCode for everything else, because simply most proramming languages have their main plugins on VSCode

The only way you can move from VSCode to neovim is, if you dont care about the plugins

Why would you VSCode if not for the plugins
> I've come to think of governments/countries as just a very, very extensive, giant home owners association that happens to float its own currency, fund its own schools, etc.

I'm always nervous about this type of reductive thinking. It tends to go wrong for the same reasons that "the government's checkbook should be managed like a household budget!" goes wrong.

Your HOA doesn't control the financial systems of every other HOA in the world and can't freeze the assets of HOAistan because their premier is causing problems. Your HOA doesn't spend nearly half of its funds on a military that has first nuclear strike capability against the D.P.R.H(OA). Etc.

Probably the biggest gap in this thinking: if you don't like your HOA, you can sell your house. In this market there's no lack of buyers and you have tons of options – other HOAs, unencumbered properties, etc. This sucks, sure, but compare it to emigrating to a country that you'd like to live in. It's miles apart.
I think you have it right: neovim for your fingers and VS Code for the larger programming environment with all its features. I don't know how LSP is integrated, but it seems to work.

BTW, I ran into too many corner cases where VSCodeVIM's emulation broke down.
LunarVim has a "show b̶u̶f̶f̶e̶r̶s̶ registers" plugin enabled so when you type " it brings up a window showing the contents of various buffers, so you can eyeball it rather than remembering.
There seems to be a trend of weather movement slowing down. This has been recorded as slower-moving tropical storms, with heavy rain that persists for days and causes flooding. Maybe this heat dome thing is the same phenomenon.

"Here I show that tropical-cyclone translation speed has decreased globally by 10 per cent over the period 1949–2016, which is very likely to have compounded, and possibly dominated, any increases in local rainfall totals that may have occurred as a result of increased tropical-cyclone rain rates. The magnitude of the slowdown varies substantially by region and by latitude, but is generally consistent with expected changes in atmospheric circulation forced by anthropogenic emissions. Of particular importance is the slowdown of 21 per cent and 16 per cent over land areas affected by western North Pacific and North Atlantic tropical cyclones, respectively, and the slowdown of 22 per cent over land areas in the Australian region."[1]

Note that part about a 22% slowdown over Australia, which now has a huge fire season.

Ocean currents are known to be slowing down. Not by much, but there's some effect on global heat transport.[2]

What this may look like is that, in addition to a small rise in average temperature, extreme conditions persist longer. This isn't something that was predicted.

I have never claimed that PFOF is evil.

My only point is that the narrative of Robinhood is completely backwards. Far from the “stealing from the rich to give to the poor” backstory from which the name comes from, all they’ve done is encourage hordes of unsuspecting sheep to venture deep into the wolves’ den.

PFOF may not be evil, but Robinhood certainly is. The fact that their customers’ orders are of such high value makes it abundantly clear who the moneyed players think losers at the table are. Anyone paying attention understands that Robinhood’s product is a continuous flow of suckers to their paying customers. Trading on Robinhood is an implicit bet with apparently quite poor odds that you’re not one of those suckers.

That doesn’t mean you’re better off trading on some other platform. It means they're goading you into playing the wrong game in which entities with billions at stake are so convinced you will lose they’re happy to pay for the privilege of sitting down at the table with you. The real lesson is that you should be playing a different game than the one Robinhood is promoting.

Lingodeer + lingodeer plus (paid version it got a 1 time payment with 50% discount)

- This is my duo replacement it works great for grammar since you get a more detailed explanation of grammar rules.

Kanji study + kanji tree

- These are far from perfect but works for recognition learning.

Tae Kim's learn Japanese app

- Nothing fancy but its better for mobile.

Lastly I would've recommended Eler, but its turn itself into a micro transaction app.

Essentially it was an apology to get help with reading japanese news.

> applying that same standard to photovoltaic panels would result in infinite efficiency

No it wouldn't. The equivalent for panels would be like... you want to run some number of watts through a diode, and you're using solar panels to collect this power. The diode happens to give off waste light. By aiming this light at your panels, you can recapture most of it back into electricity, and reuse it 2.85 more times.
Relevant to that, the US WWII internment camps were...placed on land taken from (with disputedly-adequate compensation for the use) reservation land.
If you want to be pedantic, HN also does not fact check its articles or comments. Nothing else supports HN being a media outlet or rebut this as a media blackout.

There have been 20 articles in print and on the web mentioning Assange in the NY Times since 2021 began, avidly covering the details of his trial and extradition, but now nothing. If their search features are any indication, CNN doesn't believe you should seek out news as much as passively accept it-same pattern and then no recent mention.

Reuters' latest article from 25 June in a break from the style of their previous coverage leaves out mention of the trial details entirely in favor of a human element story petitioning Biden free Assange "to show the US has changed". This narrative does little to exculpate Assange or share why the trial may be over for good while preempting any credit for what follows to the mercy and wisdom of Biden. Whether Biden ignores or denies, well, them's the laws, you know.

If the whole rest of the town doesn't have power and you refuse to call it a blackout because you can see some people have working generators, you don't understand what a blackout is.

> There wasn't any need for fancier sensors and data recording technology than was used.

Obviously there was. A common refrain in all the civil engineering discussions I'm reading is that this inspection report was in bottom 10%, perhaps bottom 1%, but not 0.00001% off the charts atypical.

It's quite apparent that we need more dimensions of data—if for nothing else than to make it crystal clear when a situation is approaching disaster. We also still do not know what actually happened (and may never know), so for post-mortems this sort of thing seems important.

What simple steps can be done to reduce the probability of this happening again by 1,000x+?

This doesn't hurt you directly, it's meant to placate people from demanding a substantial solution.
To be fair, the 'correct' way to do this is to use a double-pole switch that actively pulls (whole-device) VCC to ground when off, but that has it's own problems, especially if any of your sensors are capable of generating electricity on their own (piezoelectric microphone, radio reciever, alleged photo'transistor's that can operate photovoltaicly, etc).

I think in a lot of ways StackOverflow has changed this dynamic. Previously I benefited from memorizing all of the API functions that return slightly different responses than their peers.

Sorry but you're not correct. Here's [0] the law he's being charged of violating. You'll notice that intent is the crux of the disclosure subsections he's being charged under. He's being charged with publishing the information he received with the intent to do harm to the US. That's what the prosecution will argue and his defense for those charges will be entirely about intent.

Independently intent would be a difficult thing to prove but his public actions and the conspiracy charges with will be used to establish intent. Like I said, he wants to claim all of the protections of journalism while he's acting as a spymaster.

I don't really think it's possible to claim (objectively) any of Assange's actions with Wikileaks could be considered journalism. Besides not really practicing anything that might be considered journalism he also exercised a lot of editorial control in what Wikileaks didn't or wouldn't publish.

> RSS doesn't solve the same problem because that's a "pull" mechanism instead of "push" like email.

I don't think that matters. Having somebody add your RSS to their reading addresses has basically the same effect as having they give you their email and not add you to their spam list.

Email is not exactly push anymore, it stays on a server waiting for the user to go there look. Any of them can, and usually do, automatically pull data on a schedule and alert the user when there's something new. The biggest difference I can see is that you and the user do not have to deal with the spam-handling problems. If the newsletter is spam, that's a big win for the publisher, but if it's not, it's a loss.

I don’t know how PC hardware does it, but microcontrollers typically have separate “flash” (large, less write cycles, requires complex rituals to write, executable) for programs and “EEPROM” (small, more write cycles, requires little if any preparation to write, often non-executable) for configuration and (very lightweight) logging. Prohibiting writes to the former but not the latter shouldn’t be particularly difficult, although I’ve yet to see a chip that would actually do it.
