I'm in favor of using one space as two are just too much. But considering the origins of this it might make sense introducing ligatures in monospaced fonts which move the dot to the left edge when followed by whitespace. This could slightly increase the gap. Though I'm not sure if this little difference is worth it.
Mucormycosis: India records more than 4,300 'black fungus' deaths
That seems like a terrible idea and an unrealistic one at that. If someone is calling to report a violent crime in progress, you’re not coming to a theoretical judgement where you have the luxury of collecting facts to make a determination. This is a matter of prudential and practical judgement concerning human lives. It is not a joke. You must respond quickly in case it is true. This is not a horse race. We’re not taking bets on the most likely case. You will lose time if it turns out to be a prank, but the potential risk far outweighs that loss.

This man also didn’t die because he was shot btw. The way you reduce these incidents is through severe punishments for reporting false crimes.
No one is interested because we don’t use that much cash to make it an issue. Even most vending machines have machines for cards or NFC payments on cellphone.

Capital controls aren't going to help the unemployed, the homeless, the working poor, the huge percentage of people who constantly live one paycheck or one medical issue away from bankruptcy. Capital controls will make those problems worse; forcing people to make bad decisions with their investments is not the fast track to getting great long term results.

IMO i2p integration was the right choice. I2P actively encourages P2P traffic, while on Tor it would put a lot more load on the more centralized routing nodes.

osx provides /etc/paths.d/ for this too, editing dotfiles isn't necessary.

This one arguably makes sense though. Because it's being used to install separately from the OS (eg you can use brew on linux to provide a per-user package manager in $HOME), setting "my brew" system-wide might not be the sensible default. (But then, I can't remember the last time I saw a mac that was genuinely multi-user).

I guess there's no one answer, but creating /etc/paths.d/homebrew might belong on the list of options.
> Asian Americans represent 41.8 percent of Google’s workforce. [..] Forbes diversity writer Ruth Umoh summarized the report’s data as indicating both “modest gains in representation for women and people of color,” and “a disproportionately white [52%*], Asian and male workforce.”

The US is 61% white. I've lost count of the number of articles that casually call companies where whites are under-represented as "disproportionately white".

I'm sure it does. I would still like a link to the study. I always wondered why is it so hard to actually link to the study in question.
It wasn't that simple.

There was military service, which was the shortest.

The there was civil service which was longer.

Then there was disaster relive service which was even longer. But you only had to train every other weekend or so and help at disasters and not do it full time in one swing.
What does this have to do with my comment? Being critical of the government doesn’t automatically make you an anarchist.
Very cool. One note: the browser (at least Firefox and Chrome) becomes unresponsive for a while if the code takes too long to run.

For example:

i;
}
I think the method used in the study is completely flawed. It used case fatality rates from other countries (probably including the ridiculously high first wave numbers) to derive the deaths in India from the number oif infections.

Did they even care to check for a small region if their results are plausible at all?
Still getting this now btw.

I don't have enough interest in German politics to get into a deep discussion about it, but for the record I was referring to election lists and the "Mindestquotierung" where odd election list spots, including the first spot are reserved for women.

This is confirmed for example by the situation in Saarland, where a man was chosen on the first spot. In the end there was so much pressure on that person from party colleagues (including one of the co-leads that you mentioned) that they had to step back, even if they had won fair and square.

The party-internal positions are mostly irrelevant, as the male co-lead of the Greens has found out when they had to make place for the chancellorship candidacy for his equal footed colleague with no government experience.
And Kretchmann is probably one of the most successful Greens, it would be political suicide not to let him run loose :)

I don't remember which University, it was in a newspaper article. I have no idea if it's wide spread or not, the point was that the department(?) lead was comfortable not just mentioning, but advertising that practice in a newspaper, whereas the reverse would have gotten him in trouble immediately.
My take here is a little nuanced. Simply for manufacturing, perhaps not. Decisions of this kind I would settle case by case, chemical warfare agents, "no", tear gas, may be 'yes' with well laid out legal checks and balances, 'rubber bullets' more checks and balances needed, etc., etc.

Sales, whether direct or through indirectly supported wink-wink business and other organizational structures, to entities who have well documented cases of abuse -- that's a different matter. If Colt is found doing that, I would definitely find them culpable and guilty.

For NSO, Candiru and their ilk, my belief is that they are in a wink-wink, nudge-nudge relationship with the user's of the tools (usually oppressive governments) as well as Israel's intelligence complex (they are the ones clearing the sales).

Can I prove this in a court, no. Does not stop me from forming informed opinions though.

You do not need Monorepos for trunk based development. In principle you "only" need a common build system. E.g. You can just force the consumption of head via the build system. I think the rollback is still a factor. E.g. in a Monorepo rolling back a change is straightforward, whereas with multiple repos you would have to somehow track that commits from several repos belong together. This would create an additional layer which is avoided by using a monorepo

We already know this whole "give up your privacy for safety!" thing is nonsense, because the privacy has gone way down over the past years and safety has not changed at all. It's theater, a puppet show put up in order to rob you of your essential freedom for the gratification and enrichment of another.
> Citation needed, with data?

Depends if you count a minimum of 10% "regularly"?

From 2003: "After the New York City raid that killed Alberta Spruill, Police Chief Raymond Kelly estimated that at least 10 percent of the city’s 450+ monthly no-knock drug raids were served on the wrong address, under bad information, or otherwise didn’t produce enough evidence for an arrest. Kelly conceded, however, that NYPD didn’t keep careful track of botched raids, leading one city council member to speculate the problem could be even worse."

That is neither here nor there. Assault rifles did not lead to this man’s death. They have nothing essentially to do with what transpired. The problem is that someone filed a false report. That’s where you need to focus. Filing false reports is what should be severely punished.
The greatest ability of democracies is error correction. Politicians lied in the election campaign? Vote for someone else next time. All current politicians lie? Be a politician. That's not easy, but it is possible. I stand by my assertion: We get the government we deserve.

https://eklitzke.org/path-max-is-tricky

The Linux kernel defines upper limits for NAME_MAX (255) and PATH_MAX (4096).

The glibc doesn't enforce this limit because it was originally written to run on GNU HURD which I guess doesn't have these limits.

But systemd only runs on glibc on Linux. So I don't see why it doesn't at least sanity check the length of absolute paths with PATH_MAX...
Is one of the singers in ABBA.

I'm always torn on inscriptions. Interesting when quite old and both giver and recipient have long since departed, but a bit weird when a book was gifted only recently. As the proud owner of a two year old kid, thrift stores and second hand book stores are a great source for children's books, but reading a lovely written inscription from a loving aunt in a good children's book only a few years old feels awkward.

Personally, I'm of the no-inscription school of gift-giving. Add a note or letter, sure, but leave the book clean. A book that gets re-gifted, loaned, inherited, sold, and endlessly re-read is doing its job well, so don't burden the recipient with an inscription that may form a barrier to doing so.
I hope GitLab will make a commitment to cut economic ties with countries from which they will accept "refugees", something which Europe generally does not seem to have the courage to do.

> Sure you can challenge it, but I prefer the default to be that the citizen files taxes and the government can tally up the proposed taxes against the data they have and either accept or challenge it.

But why? Both have the same outcome but one is more work and costs more as well as has a greater chance of you getting it wrong and being fined in the process.

Would you also prefer supermarkets to make you calculate the total amount you owe when you get to the cashier, making sure you applied all promotions and frequent shopper deductions manually?

Most of this is still true, but this is the most balanced review of Crystal I've have read so far here.

Although I use Rust most of the time, I keep having a look at Crystal and appreciate its simplicity and can get alot of things done with it rather than fighting with the borrow checker.

Very happy to see it reach 1.0 and further.

Fun! It's beside the point of the article, but am I misinterpreting "There are 2 valid solutions" or is it at least 2 valid solutions? The first two solutions I came up with weren't the same as the author's but passed the checker (e.g. 7534+0825=08359)
Not a lawyer, but as far as I remember in Swiss law a criminals live is valued higher than your property. There would have to be an immediate threat for someones live for it to be even considered justified self defense. E.g. in a armed robbery you are expected to hand over the valuables they ask for before defending yourself with force.

Edit: assuming we are talking about shooting the criminal not just use the weapon as a deterrent. No idea what happens in that case, but I reckon either or both civil and military justice are going to have a word with you.

I quit smoking cigarettes 10 years ago and social media 5 years ago.

Once you are addicted you forget how good life is without. You don't notice how much of your behavior has changed to accommodate your addiction until you quit.

"He is just mature for his age, what is the big deal?"
OP has conveniently left out a few lines just before their quoted bit:

> We report excess mortality estimates from three different data sources from the pandemic’s start through June 2021. First, extrapolation of state-level civil registration from seven states suggests 3.4 million excess deaths. Second, applying international estimates of age-specific infection fatality rates (IFR) to Indian seroprevalence data implies a higher toll of around 4 million. Third, our analysis of the Consumer Pyramid Household Survey, a longitudinal panel of over 800,000 individuals across all states, yields an estimate of 4.9 million excess deaths.

If their (or your) complaint is with these actual methods of estimation, then pick on those, but the assumption that the study authors just want to Jedi mind-trick you into 10x'ing the official Covid deaths number is flawed.
This is still easier to do with monorepo. One reason is easily, reliably finding all the usage sites.

Instagram Fights Cybercrime with New Security Checkup Feature
The problem is, if you build a new financial system which facilitates criminal activity such as scams, fraud, extortion, money laundering, tax evasion, terrorist financing, etc., it very quickly gets dominated by the types of people who want to perform such activity, or end up performing such activity ("opportunity makes a thief"). So the options are either to become more and more attractive to criminals and help build up their strength so they can take on the traditional financial system more effectively, or to become more like the traditional financial system and try to stamp out such activity. Personally, and I think most rational people would agree, it would be better for society as a whole if we didn't let the scammers, fraudsters, extortionists etc. win. And I know the typical cryptocurrency supporter's response is going to be "well banks and governments are scammers, fraudsters etc.", but while banks and governments may not have a completely spotless record, the fact is that they are on the whole infinitely more trustworthy than the tiny number of unelected and largely anonymous people who own almost all the cryptocurrency wealth.

> if this amount of people had died, do foreigners really think Indian people would have sat silently

Yes? I mean, the UK has had 129k deaths and the government's approval rating remains leading the opinion polls of voting attention.

The statistical deaths of strangers just don't move the needle in politics.
Same in France.

But I am going to play devil's advocate here, did you get the "best deal"?

It all comes down to deductibles. In France, the "one click taxes" option assumes 10% of your salary is deductible, which is often a good deal but sometimes, it may actually be more, especially if you have a long commute. The government app won't help you with that.

It may not help you with incentives too. For example, you may get some tax rebates if you did some work to improve the energy efficiency of your house, what exactly you can declare? And charities, loans, etc... A good accountant may help you save a significant amount with all these details.

Tax software are like a middle ground between simple, no brainer, government issued "one click" tax filling and hiring a professional accountant. Note that in France, most self-employed people hire an accountant, proper tax filling can be a minefield if you are not an employee.

And by the way, that's Intuit's argument. That it is used to justify its evil deeds is a thing, but the argument itself is not without merit.
> Society votes for these governments.

It is better to say that society votes. It definitely does, but when every (and I do mean every) politician that gets in power can come right out and say that they won't do anything they promised it is not reasonable to say society voted for the governments they get. Society has governments and society votes, these two are unconnected facts because of an endemic and deeply toxic lack of accountability on the part of politicians. The lies are blatant, so much so that everyone expects them and sees them coming.
The US and Germany are two western countries that have relatively high use of cash, and relative distrust of electronic payments - it's only been in the last decade or so that the US has slowly started moving away from signatures for payment and I'm still regularly asked to do it. That's unheard of in almost all comparable countries. You can also see people paying with literal $100 bills at the supermarket.
I like to browse the catalogues of various publishers that I consider of good quality and look for interesting books. Another one that caught my eye was "Rust for Rustaceans" (still in development), which admittedly is a pure language book, but it describes more specialised topics, which aren't typically found in regular books about Rust.
The older generations are whiter (it did used to be illegal for non-whites to emigrate to the USA, leading to an odd series of legal cases where different nationalities tried to prove their whiteness) so it may well skew figures in one direction or another if you include people who are too young to work or old enough to retire.

I tried to find out what numbers Google were using, but I can't find your quote on the page you link to? Edit: ah it's from the article.
The reason your taxes are simpler though is because the Dutch government doesn’t use the tax system to implement policy like the US does. The US Congress uses the tax system to influence social policy as well as to deliver benefits for specific groups and industries. And over time all of these legislative additions have turned a simple revenue raising system into a complex mess of deductions and credits.

Now I am not defending turbo tax’s predatory actions in the past but it’s not complicating the tax system just taking advantage of it being complicated.

Honestly, I'm not sure how you'd even be able to measure that. India doesn't seem to be doing so great at recording the cause of death, given that only a tenth of these were counted as Covid deaths and it's unlikely to be that low, plus you'd expect a lot of starvation-related deaths to show up as people dying from diseases that shouldn't otherwise be fatal...
> Be a politician

The point of a system that has large financial and societal pressure at the top to conform to the wishes of specific lobbying interests is that the pressure is so large you either stop being a politician or do what they say. There is no middle ground.
It is not the monorepo which forces trunkbased development it is the fact that you use one build for the monorepo. E.g. you can do trunk based development with multiple repos by forcing everyone to use a common build. You could also use a monorepo and still everyone does their own build consuming libraries via mechanisms such as Mavens Repositories or published npm packages
