I was of the mindset that elevation was more of a factor in UV index than latitude, but I just learned differently. Thank you.

I found a nice discussion of the calculation: https://www.epa.gov/sunsafety/calculating-uv-index-0
It hand waves a bit on how latitude is factored in but states clearly that every km of elevation increases exposure by about 6%.

Mexico City: 2,240 m
London: 25 m

So 12% more UV for Mexico City based on elevation. The elevation is important but not the primary factor.

Anecdotally, I have been in Mexico City. I did most of my walking in the mornings and still would sunburn on an sixty minute walk. I did not use any protection.
Just because something is legally available to you does not mean it is the right thing to do. A good example of this is one's right not to wear a mask; or ride your unmuffled motorcycle around the neighborhood at 2am. The list goes on...
You can't take the oversight away from government, that's fundamentally what it does. You can't expect them to stand by forever when the private situation is a disaster that gets people killed either, like Purdue and their opiates.
> How is that any different than if the delivery person worked for the restaurant?

As far as I know, at least in Europe if the person works for the restaurant they have almost always a right to days off and always for sick leave and contributions for the pension, while the delivery companies try to make them figure as "self employed". Laws are being passed (most recently in Spain) to avoid this issue, so this might not be the case everywhere anymore.
You can't teach drivers such a thing, they still will be impatient. That's why cars and cyclers can't peacefully coexist on the same lane, another solution is needed.
Isn't it quite common for open source hardware drivers to have an effective bus factor of one? (as in, yes it's open source but only one dev has the deep familiarity with the topic required for fast updates) Like, weren't practically all Linux webcam drivers implemented by one French guy at some point?
Meanwhile I spent all day debugging a mess of React code, ultimately getting nowhere. Life choices questioning intensifies.

> Did you know that `fmt.Printf` can also fail? Do you explicitly check for `err` when using it? Probably not, because what Go calls explicit error handling is merely a convention

I was curious about this and it’s true, I didn’t know these functions could err, TIL.

The Godoc states:

> It is conventional not to worry about any error returned by Printf
It chemically reacts with a lot of things. Graphene coatings are being explored - powdered graphene oxide seems promising, but permeability without a contiguous layer of something that can block h2 molecules is a "laws of physics are laughing at you" level issue. If large super high quality graphene sheets ever become practical, they can make almost perfectly impermeable envelopes.

But yes hydrogen is cheap enough that refillable bottles and more leakage is cheaper than helium in terms of just the features of lifting gas. Hydrogen reactivity makes for other materials, engineering, and maintenance challenges that can be ignored with helium.
Interfaced with an FTDI chip maybe?
The wording of this is weird (even if I get the point). Airlines don't sell you space, they sell you a seat too. If I pay for a seat, and it has a recline button on it, I'm entitled to use that button and recline my seat -- I really don't see any room for another interpretation.

I do always feel a little guilty by reclining. Especially with some of those seats that by reclining, the seatback media player is tilted just so that it's harder to watch. And on Amtrak one time, my wife reclined her seat too quickly and the woman behind us spilled her water on herself -- that was embarrassing for us all, honestly.

But the point stands. I can recline my seat, and you can recline yours, and that's the way it is.

For those of you that want to take a passive aggressive route, by the way, my father in law says if he really needs to use his laptop en route he will point his air con at the recliner in front of him until they sit up straight. Maybe try that.

Hell no. Why people would trust the federal government to be their gateway to commerce and the Internet is beyond me. Way too ripe for abuse.
> Each time they push us an inch closer, they get to put six extra seats on the plane, so it’s actually quite valuable to them to shrink the pitch. And they’re able to do so because the FAA decided to allow the airlines to keep shrinking the pitch, and as they do, that wedge of space becomes a more valuable resource.

See FAA regulatory capture.

Here's one of many articles with that theme

In Australia, parking at popular beaches is both packed and crazy expensive, with day passes pushing $50, so there's a well-established tradition of giving your parking ticket to the guy waiting to swipe your spot as you pull out.

Of course, the councils running the parking didn't want to lose out, so they've "upgraded" to parking meters that require you to punch in your license plate number, which is then printed on the ticket in large letters to make sure it can't be reused.
He didn’t say that no statistical significance meant the null and expressly addressed the point you’re making:

> It’s also important to underline that just because the Georgia study did not find a statistically significant benefit doesn’t mean that a larger, more statistically powerful study might not find one, said Hoeg, the epidemiologist. But since this study had 90,000 students, then the question becomes: If you need 500,000 or 1 million people to find a benefit, how marginal is that benefit?

You seem to be misreading his conclusion. He’s not saying “masking children doesn’t work.” His point is that the practice carries significant potential downsides for children, and the best real-world study we have failed to provide affirmative support that those are outweighed by statistically significant reductions in COVID transmission.

It’s the same thing the FDA does—if your drug fails to show statistically significant efficacy in testing that means you don’t get approval.

I have not worked in any company doing ab tests like that, it is always base vs variant. Option 1 vs option 2/3 and then if the feature wins, you can try option 2 vs option 3, if not they would scrap it, or blame it on the implementation and keep retrying until they either get false positive, or survivor bias makes it positive.

I am not defending it as I also believe that ab tests ruin the web, but if anyone does option2/3 at start they are not doing AB test at all.
I remember looking through the symptoms and thinking it’s not that. It was also pre-Covid restrictions, so we did take her to two different doctors. Official diagnosis was “dunno, here’s some antibiotics”.

RockBros is a Chinese brand. I have a few of their parts and in my experience they're pretty well made.
As someone that likes F# and seldom uses, the fact it is a third class citizen on .NET tooling makes it hard to justify its adoption in many .NET projects.

If you want to be sure regardless of solutions vendors or framework, there is always tooling available, including Visual Studio plugins, then only C# offers that.

VB comes second after that, due its history on Microsoft tooling, and by being developed alongside in the same Roslyn infrastructure.

C++/CLI gets all the low level goodies, however since it is Windows only and probably due to Midori and Singularity efforts, C# is increasingly getting the same capabilities.

Then at the end comes F#, mostly developed outside of Microsoft, with its own frameworks, doesn't support all .NET features because F# knows better (e.g. protected members) and its advocates don't get enterprise, for example, I don't want to see yet another example of using type providers with World database, show me how to use EF with WPF, Sitecore renderings, SharePoint WebParts, WinUI, ...

The most recent strategy is to try to go after Python and Julia, which I wish them all the luck, but I am not convinced it will work out.

> When I went to Afghanistan I cannot tell you how many times we ran into bad intel on the ground. This makes operations run inefficiently, it causes accidents, it affects morale, etc... This literally because the military had a very difficult time, even then, understanding multi-celled non-central organizations like terrorist cells who were smart enough to insert bad intel where it needed to be.

> I don't have any concrete thoughts on who to blame, be it generals, Presidents, or government officials. Maybe there is no blame. There's also room in my mind that the Taliban and other terrorist organizations are just formidable, well-equipped, and well-educated foes who use ideology as a viral weapon in areas that lack the defensive resources of opportunity and education to combat them.

This feels like a cop-out. If the wealthiest nation with the most powerful military in the world wasn't able to achieve the outcome they wanted, something's gone wrong somewhere. I'm happy to entertain a theory like, maybe the DoD put yes-men at the top, but that still begs the question of what went wrong and why that didn't happen in previous wars. Is our state capacity actually much weaker than it was in previous decades? Is the real problem that the public wasn't committed to the war? Maybe - but in that case why weren't we able to realise that earlier?

Ultimately this shouldn't have happened the way it did. I'm sure there are multiple causes rather than a neat single reason, but something is rotten in the US.
I like your reason more than mine.

That works great for emojis and terribly for Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Thai, etc. where each character is a three byte codepoint. Then you're literally just building a reverse index of individual characters. If this was effective, they wouldn't be using trigrams in the first place: it's a much simpler system to implement. Sure, most languages use Latin characters in keywords, but that's unhelpful for comments.
what about vertical turbines in the water & bolted to the sea floor?
Where I live, there are many "1.5 lane" roads. Roads that are both ways, but there's not _that_ much space. Sometimes people pull over. You then have to drive around people.

So, yes, you stop "in the car lane" and it affects people.

There are also times where you change lanes because of obstructions. Just like intersections, stop lights, so many things that prevent the "just speed right ahead without any concern in the world" use case.

There are safety reasons for isolating bike/pedestrian traffic. But acting like it's uniquely unfair to bikes to have any form of obstruction... this is what roads are. Shared area for movement.
Really not new tho. Is there anything new here from 2 or more years ago?
You seem to have some romantic notions about laws and government that are utterly divorced from reality. Not because reality is flawed, but because those ideals are flawed at their core.

The original article is off base here. As far as I know, there are no FAA requirements for minimum seat pitch, only for being able to evacuate the airplane fast enough.

> I think it also helps to remember that interviews are two-way. If you see a company with an insane interview process, do you really have confidence in the quality of a team you’d be on when you got to the other side of it?

Exactly this. As someone who works primarily on frontend, I immediately disqualify any company whose frontend interview process for seniors+ doesn't involve actually building a frontend app/page/component/etc.

If I was ok with the prospect of working on a team with senior frontend engineers whose only competency was cramming leetcode, I might as well work at one of the tech giants.
I've just recently been combining Photolab with Darktable.

DeepPRIME really is a killer feature. It produces images that are basically noise-free without turning the whole image into a smooth featureless blob.

But I also really like Darktable's Filmic RGB module and colour management (you can output P3 images and actually make use of the wide gamut displays that nearly every modern device has).

So I've taken to this process:

- Cull my images and putting everything but the ones that make the cut into a "Rejected" folder. I used FastRawViewer at first but I've warmed to Digikam.

- Run DeepPRIME and DxO's optical corrections with Photolab and export a DNG.

- Do final adjustments and exports in Darktable.

Basically, Photolab allows me to use Darktable but skip Lensfun (which others have mentioned is a bit of a weak point in Darktable) and push my shadows as far as I want without noise.
Which search engine do you find shows better search results? I keep coming back to Google because no one else even comes close to the quality of search results.

That was true even more so when Google started out. Their competition was Yahoo and AltaVista, which were practically useless. I'd argue that Google has done a lot for the web. But I can agree with the sentiment that they took a turn for the worse at some point.
> Having a machine that is actually usable is orthogonal to having one dedicated to a job.

Depends on the job. Work machines are often unusable because of measures mandated by employers to protect IP. Especially with big employers, you can't just get a random physical or virtual machine and do work-related things on it, not without angering the IT or cybersecurity department.
All the answers to this questions have a simple guideline for cyclists, drivers and pedestrians altogether: slow down if you can't predict what will happen next. There is no magic behind it. Someone won't pay attention and the difference between a crash or a near miss is usually at least one paid attention and slowed down.

Well, the one good example I have from a few years ago was a relatively simple ADC PCI card. I did have documentation from the company. They had a Windows driver, but for Linux, their advice was direct memory writes (which requires root privileges). I didn't want the application to run as root, so I wrote a Linux diver for the card.
There currently isn't enough staffing to man the current hospitals forget about any newly created ones.

What I am upset about is why there was no plan to fast-track induction and graduation of nurses/paramedics/physicians with a minimum employment guarantee of 5 years by the govt so that folks are incentivised for a medical career.
Since I'm an anti-science woman on a quest to spread my anti-vax agenda, I've taken a look at the raw data.

We're talking about 137 unvaccinated & 268 vaccinated patients >60 with severe disease (What kind of disease? Who cares, am I right?)

So, based on this enormous (!) sample size with one (!) confounding factor (#FuckMedicalHistory), we conclude that of course there is an undeniable nine-fold difference.

Why are we even doing randomized controlled trials? Just observe 137 & 268 patients retrospectively and frame critics as ideologues. A final word from an anti-vax activist:

> Conversely, there was concern that observational data obtained from nonrandomized studies after vaccine deployment could yield unreliable answers. Observational studies are subject to substantial biases and are much less amenable to unambiguous interpretation. Their limitations are of particular concern during this public health emergency, because vaccinated and unvaccinated people will differ in their risk of exposure to infection and of serious disease, partly because of fluctuating attack rates and because during early phases of vaccine deployment, vaccinees may well be at particular risk of infection. In these circumstances, even carefully analyzed observational studies can yield misleading answers about safety and efficacy. In addition, unrelated events that occur by chance after vaccination may be incorrectly attributed to the vaccine, and such anecdotes may be deliberately promulgated by groups opposed to vaccination.

> London UK and surrounding areas late 2019 and came back with a viral pneumonia that had various COVID symptoms.

Colds and Flu season in London in late 2019 was quite nasty. I had multiple heavy colds. I went to a doctor, who said basically "yes, there's a lot of it about".

it wasn't COVID.

It was just a above average Colds and Flu season.

That's also the last time that I had a cold.

>Exceptions are for the former, which Go still supports via Panic().

The panics are there to be used only in cases where the further code execution is impossible. Not to inform the developer about an error.

Errors are a general solution to report an unexpected event during execution. The destination of such report depends on the part of code the program failed.
This is exactly how it's done in Berlin and for the most part it works perfectly fine.

Individuals appear to focus on stack follows, in light of the fact that different dialects present practically every blunder in stack follow structure. I figure you should ponder why you need them and ensure you have a valid justification before thoughtlessly adding them. I do gather stack follows in some Go code, since Sentry requires it for order, yet as a general rule, you can improve work yourself, with very little magic included. https://www.nection.io/

She speaks to him but he started doing it again. I buzzed her again. Don't know what she said but this time he stopped.
A punctured envelope can result in high oxygen hydrogen mix at the point of failure, and static or sparks can ignite the mix, leading to a failure cascade. Hydrogen oxygen mixed burn really hot, and you want envelope materials to be super thin and light. Cellular designs that are engineered around controlling catastrophic failure of individual nodes might be the only feasible way hydrogen ever becomes practical for anything near people. That increases the weight since you need lots of little envelopes instead of one big balloon.

Fortunately, materials science is allowing for this, and safety features in big helium ships are always improving and laying a foundation for the eventual transition to hydrogen.
