Generally I believe it's done for encapsulation between teams. That way, each team can own their code without any fear of another team being able to break anything provided they all work to their contracts.

If you can perform a join to get the data yourself, nothing is stopping anyone from circumventing your API that is intended for fetching the data or by making breaking changes to the single database that your code relies on.

But yes, trivial joins is effectively the trade off for this encapsulation and can mean other services have to collect their own versions of data from services which means you now have eventual consistency.
They can't legally force you, so they're using other means to exert as much pressure as possible. Doesn't feel any better to a lot of people to know they weren't technically forced.
Leaving LA for exactly this reason.

Not just because of the time. But because there is hardly anywhere to live that isn't filled with cars AND walkable.

It's nice that the city has become a lot more walkable - but it's not that enjoyable walking alongside what is basically a highway - I.E. Hollywood, Sunset, and Santa Monica Blvd.

It's such a shame that the city with some of the best weather in the country, and that would otherwise be great for biking, is the city with one of the strongest car cultures in the world.
Assuming they're flying under Part 107 or as a public aircraft, the police drone operators would have the same obligation to report accidents to the NTSB as would a regular aircraft pilot.

Agree and thanks for that. We're still thinking how best to map complex disease taxonomies/ontologies into a simple user search and drop-down menu. I like the idea of grouping, it should't be hard.
This should qualify as a modern-day Captain Crunch whistle.
Why is American warfare so expensive?

Russian, French and Turkish interventionism in the Middle East and Africa are an order of magnitude smaller but they seem to have accomplished more than the US/NATO did in Afghanistan.

The Iraq war is a complicated beast. The Iraqis I know feel the country improved for the better but US foreign policy on Israel-Palestine and warmongering against Iran (most Iraqis are Shia) has eroded whatever goodwill they had after the fall of Saddam.
You're completely misinformed.

There have been hundreds of peer-reviewed RCT's in vivo, in live human COVID-infected patients of many differing treatments for COVID, several of which have demonstrated high efficacy in reducing hospitalisation and death as both prophylaxis and treatment.

Filing bug reports is a exercise in getting abused.

I installed a clean install on a Raspberry PI, installed emcas (which I have used for about thirty years), and found a utility did not work (I will conceal the guilty - it is a common story)

I filed a bug report, and was abused because I was using a emacs distribution that was three years old - how could I possibly think that any problems I saw be anything but my fault , and didn't I have better things to do than waste their time with my idiot ramblings.

What sort of silly child acts like that? What a crock!

Some parts of the Free Software community are much better. (Rust, for example, nothing but respect for my idiot ramblings). But some parts are still full of the "bigger dick" egomaniacs....
That would make hardware a commodity and there is not enough margin in commodoties.

I've met several persons lost on pilgrimage routes due to mental breakdowns. It's a know problem, people find happiness and an alternative life during a pilgrimage and keep on walking the routes back and forth through Europe until they run out of money and then become homeless. At the beginning of the French route towards Santiago de Compostela you might still find some mental health counseling offices.
surprising that the auto-fetch/install stuff allows for non msi based installers. there's a whole vetting process for drivers, you'd think msi would be a requirement.

why non msi based installers still exist in any form in 2021 is a mystery to me.
Sure, but as I see it, both of those are implementation details.

The Standard CPython first compiles to bytecode, then the interpreter translates every instruction as it is ran to the correct instruction for the local platform.

A JIT like this, or PyPy compiles to bytecode, then compiles (some of?) the bytecode to the correct local instructions before running. This means it doesn't need to translate every instruction as it runs.

Projects like Nuitka/Cython compile ahead of time for the platform. So you would either distribute binaries, or have them be compiled at install time.

In any case the only point I was making is that if they made a one to one translation of CPython to RustPython it would not make much of a difference. However, the fact that they are working on a JIT definitely would.

As far as wasm, I beleive it is just building the entire RustPython interpreter as a WASM package. Which I guess would be so you could load it into a browser and then use it to interpret your python code. I suspect this approach would likely be slower than all of the above. Or at the very least be highly dependent on the Browser it is running in.
I brought autism up because:

1. The #1 example featured in the article and discussed at length — Charles Darwin — is known to have exhibited autistic symptoms, and was retro diagnosed with Asperger's by medical professionals. However, this has not been discussed well in the article.

2. Walking is a form of stimming

3. Stimming while thinking is a symptom of ASD

4. It benefits the society at large to be aware of this symptom, as it is frequently looked down upon and considered ill behavior

5. In particular regarding walking: while many people can benefit from walking while thinking, it might be required for people with ASD, like Charles Darwin. However, children in our classrooms (and most office employees) don't have that option; even fidgeting while listening is not allowed in many schools.
You don't need to know much more than that the manned aircraft was on final approach within a mile of the airport^[1] and that the police drone got in its way. Short of some one-in-a-million (but probably actually a lot more than a million) malfunction, there is very little wiggle room here for the police operators to have been anything but profoundly and (one would assume, by "civilian" standards at least) criminally negligent.

You simply do not fly drones anywhere near an airport without coordinating with the relevant air traffic control authorities, and this is exactly why. The people in the 172 could have been killed. Every person operating a UAS needs to be positive they aren't doing so in restricted or conflicted airspace, even casual hobbyists flying tiny sub-250g drones.

Equipment failure is usually not an excuse (for the operator) either, since the limits and failsafes on the drone should always be set to prevent it from ending up somewhere it shouldn't be. Every time I'm going to fly one of my drones, I evaluate these settings and choose new values tailored to the situation and "mission". This includes disabling automatic return-to-home if there is any chance of that function causing it to fly a dangerous route, e.g. one over people.

which condition? perhaps they were hidden because only primary specialties are shown when results are first displayed. Click on specialty filter then enable specialties in which your doctors are. however, you are making me think that we should display physicians in all specialties right away when results load, and people can then de-select certain specialties and leave others.

I'm guessing the added visuals come from hypnagogia, the state between waking and sleep where you can see imagery related to dreaming. I'm especially aware of this state because I have aphantasia and thus have no other method of seeing imagery in my head that doesn't pass through my retinas first. I've seen it when I thought I was awake, but later realize I wasn't fully awake. I also used to dabble in lucid dreaming, and spent a lot of time trying to ride the line between being awake and falling asleep. I'd suggest learning how to lucid dream, because that's another environment where you can be visually creative.
This is true! Tokyo was pretty crazy though.

One view I would take is that every city is simply unique in its own many ways. I don't necessarily travel somewhere and right away compare it to other places, I feel like a greater experience can be had by just appreciating where a person is in that moment.
> If you had offered me a rating pop-up, you would have been the first one I ever use (and gave 5 stars to).

I've recently started to. For example, just last week, my telco's app (that I use because it's the least-hassle way to pay my phone/Internet bills) got 2 stars on Google Play Store, with a comment explaining that the app is fine, except slowish, and constantly nags about rating it on the Play Store.

People need to eat, most several times a day. As a result there is great food anywhere there are people because the people will be looking for places to eat. What is lacking is often variety. I know of many towns barely large enough to support one Cafe (some are good some bad). The bigger the town the more likely it is there is something good.
For me to agree with "vanishingly small", I should rarely encounter a vaccination requirement in my day to day life. The wishlist for places and activities that will require verification is so large I will be encountering them multiple times a day, for the rest of my life.

The thing that sold me on LA was seeing that Atlas Obscura lists 221 things there!

https://www.atlasobscura.com/things-to-do/los-angeles-califo...

I've visited rather than lived there, but the overwhelming impression I've got is that LA is /weird/ - in all of the best ways.

That density of creative people - with a business model that actually supports them - plus areas of the city that are affordable (at least in comparison to the SF Bay Area) means LA has an abundance of quirky and interesting culture to it. And great food.

There is an entire area of LA full of prop rental warehouses which I am very keen to explore on my next trip there.
> and verbally defending yourself is not capable of vindication while it can only be used as ammunition to the accusing party

He tried to downplay the allegations and, in the process, effectively admitted to sending the e-mail with the inappropriate content in the first place.

The rambling Facebook posts also didn't help, but that's largely because they're so unprofessional and difficult to even parse.

There are proper ways to acknowledge accusations and invite proper investigations. However, Aubrey de Grey's method of admitting the wrongdoing but trying to downplay it, followed by direct interference in the investigation, is not the correct way of handling this.
Anecdotally I have a French acquaintance who dreads his trips back home because the food is so terrible. Paris might be famous for fine dining at the extreme top end, but that doesn't necessarily make for the best eating.
I suspect wrong hypothesis there.... the variable is probably what other allergen is on you skin (or finger nails) and whether and how much you scratch it! Temperature is probably also a factor.
> I don't think this is true. There's nothing inherently natural about this. One could even argue that cooperation, not competition, is what brought us this far.

Cooperation with the in-group, sure. Outside of that, most humans will at some point compete with the out-group for resources. That's thus far the history of humanity, for the vast majority of people that lived.

> That's not exactly comparable. There's a deep history of colonization, massacres and exploitation which leads to resentment (which is not the same as racism in my view, and is definitely not the same as a superiority complex).

Most of the people currently here have nothing to do with that history though.

> If you think that's over, just look at who owns land and industry on those islands you'll see it's all white people most of whom inherited their wealth from pillaging the local population.

Sure, they may be white but they're mostly filthy rich. Changing a class struggle in a race struggle is divide to reign 101, and it seems to be working.
> Try to earn some money on the side.

For this, I'd recommend finding a job related to or in tech while in school. Internship and co-ops are ideal, and if they can do multiple at differing companies, even better. If it's not internship/co-op season, try to find a job ON CAMPUS that has lots of downtime. Computer labs, gym, TA, or something easy where you can get work done but also interact with others that need help.

I took a help desk job at my school, and that alone led me to better grades, more club involvement, better social connections (students and faculty), and paychecks. Much of the advice listed can be achieved while working an easy job on campus.
The cycle of crap on Linux is different; less corporate and underhanded, but more of an ever-expanding bloat. Install Clang/LLVM. It's like 300MB. I remember when almost every system had a fairly small C compiler. It had to be small, because it was the basis of everything else. Now the base is enormous. OCaml is something like 200MB. And of course, it has its own package manager. So does Python, and Ruby, and all these other things that are supposed to be the base of so much other software.

Take another example. Install LaTeX. It's something like 5GB. It's huge because it bundles enormous numbers of packages.

It seems like there are zillions of Linux packages > 100MB. What does all this crap do? Why does everything depend on everything?

Take another example. Node. Building it from scratch takes a pretty beefy machine and a lot of time. (It takes over 20 mins on my 6-core workstation with 32GB RAM). Most of that is building V8. When I worked on V8, we periodically spent some time trying to get build times under control, but the needle barely moved until it got going again. We spent months and months of effort, over years, splitting V8 into more source files and more directories and enforcing header discipline, but all of it made build times worse. Despite how cool V8 is, I feel embarrassed in retrospect that the build system is so bonkers.

Linux is like this everywhere. Monstrous and labyrinthine. It really is impossible to understand it all now.
This is true but understated. A third of humanity is subject to some sort of economic sanctions or embargo, which invariably are instituted as some sort of pretext for future war. This costs the global economy some huge amount, but for the specific nations targeted most brutally (Venezuela, Iran, etc.) it leads to many more deaths because medicines and other healthcare supplies cannot be imported.
They immediately told me it was a sort of trick question and explained why (they value my sanity and health). Perhaps it was also a way to advertise themselves to me? They sure made a good impression with this.
It's really difficult to argue with a die-hard Keynesian because no amount of spending will ever be too much.

It's the new form of trickle-down economics... "Let's print $5T and hand it to defense contractors... eventually we'll all be better off!"

There are definitely forms of mal-investment by government. With $5T we could have built high speed rail and fixed our bridges and airports and still have money left over for a moonshot, like, I don't know, sending humans to mars. Instead we bought nothing and thousands of people are dead.
what role do resources such as oil play in your Pot?
No, the type system parameterizes on types.
The ideal solution should hopefully handle a "mugged in a foreign country" hypothetical. If a normal person traveling abroad loses both their wallet and phone, would they be able to regain access to their digital life before they got home? With Sprint/T-Mobile's current approach, the answer would be yes. With WebAuthn, it is a big maybe and is probably a no for most people. We are back at the security versus convenience choice.
I do not have concrete data for a comparison of like for like projects being compiled with comparable lines of code, and complexity of the type system usage, running on identical machines.

As for your view of OCaml byte code compilation speed being on par with Go seems rather unlikely or I'm misunderstanding what you mean. Go is not dealing with anywhere as near a complex type system as OCaml and generates a lot more potato machine code (usually not using -mnative so you can know you can copy a binary to arbitrary machines).
All advice from VCs tends to be bad, but legal advice from VCs should be dismissed outright.

The search is very cheap and easy, and then you can decide if the risk is worth it.

These aren't at odds, but in either case, "hurt feelings" seems like an understatement and/or mischaracterization (as that phrase frequently is).

> The branch coverage thing is a weird, artificial-seeming requirement

Yes that's because it's a requirement designed by a standards body. I found a paper "Is 100% Test Coverage a Reasonable Requirement? Lessons Learned from a Space Software Project" (2017) that mentions that 100% branch coverage is a requirement in European Cooperation for Space Standardization (ECSS) for Class A software (where failure could result in loss of life, etc). The paper concluded:

> Our findings include that there seems to be a break-even point between 80% and 95%, and everything beyond this points is increasingly costly and could introduce new project risks—which confirms findings reported so far in literature (Section 5). However, the interview revealed that, still, 100% coverage can be a reasonable quality requirement; even though a 100% requirement is not a good indicator for the software quality as such.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/319141355_Is_100_Te...

It doesn't follow that because rust is a safe language that it cannot expose test harnesses that would enable 100% branch coverage. Personally I'm ambivalent on this, maybe it's not useful, but it doesn't seem bad either. But your reaction to this requirement seems weird, like the "fox and the grapes" fable... You can't get 100%-branch coverage, so you give up and claim that 100% branch coverage is dumb, why would anyone want that anyway? Do you really think that 100% branch coverage testing should be unavailable to rust programmers if that's what they need (for whatever reason, including meeting some admittedly arbitrary standard)?
I really hope it is. But I also recognize I'm a human and my prediction abilities are extremely limited and short sighted.

So I think humility is the right answer here, therefore - I don't know, but I really hope so.
That is pretty hard to interpret still. It could be that people with "some college" respond with oh 100% I'm getting it or 0% I"m not getting it. Where as somebody with a PHD is like yeah. I have concerns so I'm 20% worried, but I'm still planning on getting it. Also I would expect the more educated to 1) be more skeptical, 2) not change their mind when the information hasn't changed much.
Out of curiosity I took a look at his links, there actually pretty good.

OK so this is kind of wordy... Let me try to point out the guts...

no one would deny that in an economy operating at 100 percent full capacity - as in the kind of European war economy that Keynes analyzed in the 1940s - crowding out may occur. But that is a highly unusual state of affairs and is precisely not what a progressive analysis of capitalism should take for granted. There is no reason to believe that the US economy at any point in the last 20 years has operated close to that absolute limit, at which trade offs are zero sum.

Keyne's "how to pay for the war" booklet is all about how to suppress consumption through saving, rationing and such. Actual consumption needed to be suppressed, because factories needed to make tanks instead of cars. The book is not about how to print money, deal with finance markets, etc. We'd call that "fiscal policy."

Fighting WW2 genuinely pushed the UK's financial limits. The problem wasn't ability to borrow, inflation, money markets & such. The problem was the ability of its economy to support such a big military effort.

The point of this blog, I think, is that there was never a "how to pay for the war" pamphlet for afghanistan. US & NATO industries and economies were capable of supporting the war, accounted for as a deficit, without austerity like Keyne's prescribed for the UK. Hence capacity.
