If only the people behind Ansible agreed with this. Jinja+YAML templating is just utterly terrible.
I thought that Lemuria/Lemurians was a hypothesis developed by Europeans in the 19th century. Wikipedia doesn't mention anything about its presence in traditional folklore. Is there a similar myth indigenous to Southeast Asia that you might have mixed up with Lemuria?

It would be stupid of me to do that. Besides, death is easy, living in suffering is where the real hell is. And it's much easier to achieve, would you look at that.
It is possible that if you build up a routine to always stick to the latest, it will become an automatism. This opens the door to several types of risks.

> Nihilism can be a positive force in people's lives.

Also another value judgment. Two rookie mistakes.

OP seems to be implicitly arguing that nihilism is morally justified (incoherent) because it can cause altruistic behavior (but who cares, if you're a nihilist?).
Given what I originally quoted said it only happens after four hours of exposure, your final paragraph does not surprise me.
In that spirit even USB didn't get it on the first try. Maybe something along the lines of IPv6 1.1 will do the trick.

Here's a simple proof that moral nihilism is false.

1. Suppose moral nihilism is true.

2. Then it would be incorrect to think that boiling a human child alive for pleasure is morally wrong.

3. But clearly (2) is false.

4. Therefore (1) is false.

You might wonder how we can know (3). The answer is that (3) appears to us to be true, and we have no good reason to think it is not true. This has been called the "Principle of Phenomenal Conservatism" in philosophy books, and it's the same principle that justifies our belief in physical/scientific facts (e.g., that tables exist, or that evolution is true). But it also implies that moral facts exist as well!

Of course, sometimes things appear to us to be true, but we eventually discover reasons strong enough override those appearances. For example, if you stick a pencil in a cup of water, it appears to us that the pencil is broken in half. But through scientific rigor, we have learned that this appearance is just an illusion. But this is not the case with (3). It both appears us that it is wrong to cause needless harm to children for fun, and any reason we might consider to doubt this fails to be strong enough to persuade us otherwise.
This is pretty weird if you know some economics.

On a free market, there are only very temporary shortages or surpluses. Those conditions morph quickly into equilibrium with raised or lower prices.

The spring 2020 TP shortage illustrates this. Because if the pandemic, there were "profiteering" laws in effect that made price hikes illegal, so we got empty shelves instead.

Pretty sure there are no such laws for tennis balls now. So what's going on?

My best guess is that retailers don't want to take the PR hit of raising prices for something that should be resolved quickly enough?

Although widely adopted, as there is no clear way to prove or disprove its validity the proposition still remains a conjecture.

I think that’s what we’re basically discussing, right? Still, the way that’s phrased puts it into the P!=NP camp for me so I think you may be right.

No. The time Sapiens and Denisovans would have gotten together was well before any humans had developed agriculture or civilization. Neanderthals were also in the mix in Southeast Asia.
I've dealt with the same issues in nearly every non-GraphQL project I've worked on. If you use types, you need to define those somewhere that each system can understand.

In most REST/JSON/whatever, I've worked with this ends up as serializers and deserializers on both ends of the client/server. At it's most basic, you're doing no more work in GraphQL than a "legacy" client-server.

-----

I've dabbled with GraphQL in personal projects and I think it far exceeds anything I've worked with in a REST setup. The major issue that I see with GraphQL is it lets you do stupid things incredibly easily. However, this is also it's benefit - a client can grab only and exactly what it needs.

The major problems I see with GraphQL is developers using fundamentally poor relational data models.
> So they’ve been lying to us about vaccine boosters not being necessary

No, they have not; CDC had previously said that the data did not weigh in favor of boosters yet being needed and that the priority was reaching the unvaccinated population with initial (whether one or two dose) vaccination, but that they would continue to monitor effectiveness data and evaluate the need for boosters.

The data has evolved, and boosters have already been authorized for a narrow immunocompromised population. The understanding has long been that boosters would likely be necessary if active general spread continued, though exactly how long it would take and whether spread would continue that long was not.

> Also how did all these people manage to get a third shot?

Most people who have gotten a booster are probably in booster trials; evidence of both need and effectiveness of the treatment in serving the need tend to be required for approval, even emergency authorization.

A few people may have outside of trials since the EUA for the immunocompromised, but that just came out.
Virtualizing macOS on non-macOS hosts works ok, with a couple of caveats:

* macOS lacks drivers for GPUs commonly emulated by VM software, and as such runs absolutely horribly without graphics acceleration because it assumes the presence of a competent GPU at all times - software rasterization seems to be intended to be used only as an absolute last-resort fallback. As such, passthrough of a supported GPU (generally AMD, though Intel iGPUs might work) is basically a requirement.

* It's technically against the macOS EULA. Apple hasn't gone after anybody for it to date, but it doesn't mean they won't. This is particularly relevant for devs building for Apple platforms.

Yes. Visas for tech workers aren't a big problem, the UK is still better for starting a business than any EU country and they have the innovator and startup visas, too. Brexit only fucked British manufacturers, non-tangible goods are fine.
Dude, what are you talking about. The ruling party? You mean Democrats, who have been held the presidency for less than a year? The ones that barely have a majority in congress, and the ones that appointed only 3 out of 6 judges in the Supreme Court?

The Fallacy of Redistribution
It’s actually fairly legal (in the US[a]). With salaried employees, what constitutes “on the job” work and what doesn’t isn’t as clear. With an hourly employee, once they clock out, their thoughts are their own. Salaried employees are paid just for working there; especially if you’re “on call.” And when you’re talking about a game studio, a game made on your own time would be pretty easy for your employer claim from you.

NOTE: I do not agree with these clauses, and I wish they didn’t exist. But they are a thing and they are legal.

[a]: IANAL, and some states probably specifically prohibit these clauses
There is also the notion of “hard work” - like WHY are some people hard working and others are not? Is hard work more pleasurable for some people than others? Why do some choose to work hard and others do not? I’d contend it is also a kind of luck.

If you can change how hard working you are, what determines HOW much you can change? Can everyone go from the laziest person to the most hard-working person? If not, why?

I tend to think, like intelligence, hard working-ness for everyone falls somewhere on a distribution. For some, working hard - physically or intellectually - feels good, so they do it more than others. For others, it does not feel as good, so they don’t do it as often.

As someone who’s likely on the upper end of the “hard working” distribution, I have no pretenses about why I fall where I do. I like the sensation. I didn’t choose it. I just do what I do and that’s it, and I have ever since I was a little kid. Some people do not like “hard work” and we shouldn’t blame them for it.
Path (YC S19) is hiring Engineers to automate Gen Z finance
I assume Canada job circumstances would differ slightly than US, also less opportunities i assume so i agree your plan of looking at US makes sense,

Just a note, in the US, my understanding is most companies are not planning on offshoring most jobs overseas even though they are remote jobs basically in the short term. We all do expect more of that to happen in the future though.

My company is US has a deal with the city its in, the state its in as well. Even though we are all remote now (except for the hardware people), all of the employees are expected to live in a commutable distance to the office so post covid going back to work will be a thing.

I think companies get tax breaks and have agreements with municipalities to bring jobs to an area.
Your argument boils down to saying I believe something therefore I am correct. Which isn’t an argument as someone else saying they have a different belief provides exactly as much evidence. In other words the mere existence of nihilism inherently disproves your argument.

Also, that’s really not why scientific facts are considered true. Science is based on positive evidence as in a prediction is made and it turns out the prediction was accurate. Simply presupposing something is true isn’t considered evidence that it is true.
I love how this basically turns the paperclip optimizer on its head. Traditionally "optimizing paperclips" is seen as a metaphor for some useful industrial process and taking over the universe is seen as a catastrophe. But your argument is basically that humans are in the same situation except for us the paperclips are pointless and their only purpose is to motivate us to take over the universe.

Out of curiosity, when? I walked down Bernauer Straße with my dog (from the Hundeplatz at Mauerpark to Nordbahnhof; I live relatively close-by) and didn't see anything unusual.

Well, yes; you don't get much to update with Debian, whereas using Arch, for example, you have many updates, very often. Sometimes having many updates is what you want (therefore use Arch) sometimes it's not (therefore use Debian).
You think Newtonian physics is non-deterministic?

I haven't checked but I think existence and uniqueness for the classical three body problem likely follows from standard theorems on ODEs. If you can articulate why this is not the case, please do.

edit: Yes, see section 2.1 of this term paper: https://sites.math.washington.edu/~morrow/336_13/papers/pete....

In fact, more is known: the solution exists and is analytic. From Wikipedia: "However, in 1912 the Finnish mathematician Karl Fritiof Sundman proved that there exists an analytic solution to the three-body problem in the form of a power series in terms of powers of t1/3. This series converges for all real t, except for initial conditions corresponding to zero angular momentum. In practice, the latter restriction is insignificant since initial conditions with zero angular momentum are rare, having Lebesgue measure zero. "

I disagree. The affected users completed their responsibility of filing a ticket, and if triage is done correctly, they should rely to the issue status or comments for updates. The alternative of having issue creators regularly ping the assignee for status updates via comments seems unproductive for both the creator and assignee.
46% by mass of the plastic in the vortex comes from synthetic fishing nets. The biggest sources of microplastic (in general) are carpets and tires. Most of the waste in the vortex comes from the East Asian shipping and fishing industries. If we wanted to do something about this garbage patch, we would have demanded changes there first.

Instead, a lot of municipalities banned plastic shopping bags and drinking straws, which are insignificant in the grand scheme, but highly visible.

That's what raising awareness gets you as a streategy. With the best intentions but the worst prioritization, people just make ostentatious, ineffective displays they can brag about, while things grind on as usual.

This is true. I see a lot of comments that turn this into a philosophical debate but not enough actionable talk. Earlier this summer I wanted to buy a graphics card, so I spent weeks following discord "drop" servers where people were running scripts checking inventories of every online store and sending out alerts as soon as, say, Best Buy restocks Nvidia cards. Naturally these would sell out instantly and/or websites would crash from thousands of gamers/miners/scalpers ALL trying to buy something at once.

During this experience I had the morbid thought that we're only a a natural/human disaster away from having to do the same for more necessary things. Get familiar with web scraping or buying communities of things you need while you can.
Fair. Crystals are exceptionally good at creating straight lines in spite of how hard it is to do so. And you can mimic it macroscopically with scenarios like piles of uniform spheres, which will form very long straight lines. So yes, not universally true that you need active control to maintain a straight line - some systems passively produce them (another example is folding - when you crease paper the crease wants to continue straight, not curve).
Yeah. The unacknowledged assumption being made is that n-definition (much less of a mournful) is inherently a problem. The reality is that each layer of the stack, the definition means a different thing even if the fields are the same _right now_. I’m an advocate of utilities to flatten the layers as an effort-saving measure, but as something to opt into, rather than out of. The layers must always be conceptually there.

The reason I don’t like things like Hasura et al is because they flatten by default (your GraphQL server essentially becomes just an ORM for your database), and you’re made to do extra work if you don’t want that.

> So once these are out, will some people (everyone?) be no longer fully vaccinated?

Many vaccines have a recurrence schedule and if you aren't current, you aren't vaccinated for that thing. This reflects the reality of how vaccines and the immune system work.

Because of the public health situation involving it, being current with COVID-19 vaccination is perhaps more impactful for most people than, say, whether your tetanus vaccine is current, but it's conceptually the same thing.
If there's no law saying they have to support those 3% of customers, and supporting the 3% costs more than the 3% bring in, then yeah they won't bother.
I had 1500+ hours in EU4, but then I discovered CK2, and just couldn't go back to EU. You see, the very sketchy dynasty games were always unsatisfactory for me in EU.

> No, it's that if you DON'T work hard, you WON'T get it.

There are plenty of born-rich counter examples. New-rich counter examples as well (see Bitcoin millionaires). Frankly, this is just as false as the other one.

Never mind the fact that “working hard” depends quite a lot on the beholder. For example, I would challenge a lot of those self-declared gritty, hard-working ideologists (such as Bezos and quite a few armchair billionaires) to live a year as a minimum-wage single mother in a city.

In any case, there are lots more hard-working poor than hard-working rich, regardless of how you define hardness. So it’s about as valuable as “all the winners played the lottery”, i.e., amusing to say but not really a good way of living.

Anyway, my feeling is that successive people are very good at gaslighting the others to justify their wealth, and that America has a workaholism problem.
To those of you look to take advantage of this, I would strongly recommend getting a high-rise / 4 wheeler. THey are probably twice as expensive as the low-ride sedans but you won't hate yourself while driving it. The infrastructure / roads were terrible especially around tourist destinations.

I think the target audience is 'people who believe that they have to believe the strawman', if that makes sense.

Pointing out that certain statements are self-defeating and (by definition) have no proponents can help someone escape a dangerous psychological process ('stance').

As a personal example, when I deconverted from evangelical Christianity, I was disturbed for a long time by the idea that I now had no reason to act morally. Even though that's obviously self-defeating (being disturbed was in itself a sign of morality), I didn't realize that for quite some time.
