I don't think the risk is that bad. Especially if you are using .NET Core as a cross platform target most of the tooling is made for Windows anyway so is mostly unaccessible. VS Code for example works reasonably as good as any other VS extension - in my experience works better than the Java one. For a functional language it has a pretty good tooling story.

For the standard Docker microservice (e.g. ASP.NET Core, GRPC, etc stack) the tooling is more than adequate.

F# is mostly a superset of C# features these days with a much smaller lag in gaps than the other way around. On the protected members it isn't the biggest issue either - you can still override the method in your app code but it just changes it to public instead for the derived class. For interoperability to override C# classes it works and you wouldn't normally notice any difference; and in F# code you tend not to use the pattern anyway preferring composition to large object hierarchies. So your not blocked from overriding protected members on derived classes if you need to get a method overriden in a 3rd party C# library.

You may be giving the impression that there is missing capability from F# that will cause risk and block your project. Given I've used it professionally I don't think that's actually the case - it won't block you from developing anything that you couldn't do in C#. At worse case - if you actually want to use the really edge case C# features you can always create another project just for that bit of code and call it from F# code given the good interoperability. There's usually ways around this too.

I live in a northern country. I spoke to an elderly woman the other day who told me about the first time she saw a tick, back in the 50's, I believe.

A friend of her's showed it to her, and neither had any idea what it was. They ran to a doctor's office.

She explained that there weren't really that many ticks around at the time for them to even enter public awareness. Over a few decades, they started to appear in greater numbers, seemingly traveling northwards.
My understanding is that MasterCard is introducing/continuing very strict guidelines for reporting around adult content, like documenting that people have given consent and are old enough. And then, all videos have to be verified before publish, and live videos have to be verified live. In other words, a huge cost to publishing user-generated content. This isn’t a problem for adult content studios dealing with a known set of performers and publishing their own videos. That’s why the policy is so especially impactful towards OnlyFans, where all content is paid, and it’s all created by people the company can’t trust by default.

The stated goal is to reduce criminal behavior, but obviously, the main goal is for MasterCard to protect its brand image. Folks are unsure how much actual impact this kind of policy will have against the very real and terrible problem of sex exploitation and trafficking. Which leads people to wonder if the policy is more about being prude and less about preventing exploitation. I could see clear arguments both ways.

The above code is probably caused by checked exceptions. In particular, the user wants to implement some interface or override some method, but that method wasn't declared to throw a particular type of exception because the people who wrote it hate extensibility and never want their software to be used in a way they didn't anticipate, so the new implementation can't throw it either.

A delivery person working for the restaurant works for the restaurant, and has reasons to care about both the restaurant and the customer - and in return, both have a reason to care about the delivery person. DoorDash, Uber Eats and friends are VC-funded multinationals that ruthlessly exploit restaurants and the delivery people, strip-mining the local markets, often ruining restaurants in the process. The mischief and borderline fraudulent behavior of those companies is well-documented, and regularly discussed on HN.

Every cell in your entire body (on average) gets replaced over a 7 year span. If you figure that you stopped growing around 18, and your body has been slowly replicating itself since then, it completed the first full replication at 25, the second at 32, the third at 39, the fourth at 46, etc. Each time you accumulate some chaos. As the chaos grows, the cell groups decline in performance. The decline in performance makes it more likely that the next replication will be even worse.

While that makes it really unlikely that aging can be reversed, it certainly isn’t logically impossible. All you need to do is expell the chaos, and get one good quality regeneration (possibly taking about 7 years) and then you’d be right back to 18 years old again. That might make it worthwhile enough to be willing to have your body burned by a billion laser shots and float in a vat of liquid for 7 years. We might get to find out in our lifetimes? who knows.

The space behind you is exactly the amount of space taken away from you by the front reclining seat. You can easily reclaim your stolen space by reclining yourself.

Ergonomics of in-flight entertainment screens are not a concern of mine if I am trying to sleep or be comfortable. Take it up with the manufacturer or the airline if you've issues with it, not the person using their seat as designed.

If your personal usage of a laptop was an issue, it would have been addressed at the design stage of the airplane. You are flying economy, therefore you don't get the special treatment. Either upgrade to FC or accept what the rest of us peons deal with - cramped spaces made slightly more comfortable with a reclining seat.

As for the "your argument fails" part - same with the front passengers, who don't have anyone reclining against them. You pay economy, you get economic space. It's just how the world works. I've been there plenty of times, and there's nothing I can do about it - I just accept it. The world is not fair.

There's no meaningful amount of employment in Europe from fishing.

European fishing is done with mega trawlers operated by tiny crews.

It's just a political football generally used by nationalists to further their agenda.

You could ban industrial fishing in the UK or France or Spain and it would have no effect on their economies, just personal tragedy for a few thousand.

For example in the UK, out of 66,000,000 people a tiny 12,000 are professional fishers.

Shittiest and heaviest bikes are really unpleasant to ride. And if you don't enjoy the ride, you don't ride.

Additional point: shitty bikes usually have really terrible geometries and will fuck up your health if you decide to use them for sport. If your shitty bike calls itself an 'MTB' and you take it onto a trail, it is very likely for it to actually break if you catch even a tiny jump (let's say 20-30 cm root) because the welds are terrible, and the metal is brittle.
I agree. I've seen a lot of AB test abuse, but it's mostly not outright, the kind where you try to re-roll until you get a false positive or sample sizes are so small that you get an effect on the treatment group despite the control group being much larger. It's still all statistical garbage though.
+1 for the CST L trac. There was a shortage for a little bit, because the people who were running Clearly Superior Technology retired and had to find new people to manufacture/sell it. Which they did, the old clearlysuperiortech domain now sends you to the Xkeys domain,[1] its a pretty beloved device by people who use them, so they were able to find somebody to pick up the torch really fast and if I remember correctly shipped all the tooling to them. Alas, I can't find an archive of the page that was up announcing the whole thing in detail. Really great product. Anyway I can't vouch 100% for the new Trackballs, but I wouldn't think twice about buying another one if e broke.

Two big advantages with the L-Trac, first it has very different ergonomics from a mouse, unlike most other trackballs on the market. (I still use mice for gaming, but too much mousing will give me an RSI in my wrist.) The CST trackballs really promote a fully open hand posture, and for me at least the pinching with my thumb is what gives me problems with mice. The other is the roller bearing that make the ball much smoother to operate than anything I've compared it against.

[1]https://ol.reddit.com/r/Trackballs/comments/egcf41/clearly_s...
I have been getting back to using Trackballs again after a 20 year hiatus. Currently I use the MX Ergo, MX 575 and its predecessor the MX 570 from Logitech. The cheapest model (MX 570) is also the best IMHO, as it seems that Logitech changed the sensor and made the ball harder to move in the newer models, which for me feels way more sluggish. But maybe it's just that I used the MX570 for longer already and it wore out a bit more.

Anyway, having had trouble with pain in my wrist and mouse-work induced fatigue in my fingers I have to say that switching to trackballs has definitely improved this a lot. I also tried some vertical mice but overall I like the ergonomics of a trackball much more. A big benefit is that you can even use it when sitting on the sofa or the bed with the laptop (I know, bad habit), which is just impossible with a normal mouse. Also, I can't count the times I swept my vertical mouse off the table when reaching for it (as the height of the mouse still seems unexpectedly high to my brain), which just never happens with trackballs, obviously. I even enjoy playing shooters and games with a trackball, for my amateurish skill level the precision is good enough.

I get that what you’ve posted is the official description but it doesn’t really explain the distinction well IMO. Eg there are plenty of environmental reasons you’d need to cease execution but giving the user a stack trace isn’t helpful. So be describing the two as who the target recipient of the error is helps. Or at least I think it does.

Personally my one gripe with Gos errors is that EOF is handled as an error.
Most people spend at least 4 years studying CS

Many of the best programmers I've worked with haven't.
The one I have from Logitech uses an optical sensor for the movement itself. Gunk still builds up in the small balls that ensure the trackball itself rolls smoothly, so those have to be cleaned regularly anyway.

Unfortunately not, that's basically my strategy.

The probability of your child developing pneumonia even if it was COVID is astronomically low. Kids almost never get severe disease from this. We're talking "struck by a lightning" kind of probability. They are, however, capable of spreading the disease to someone whose probability of severe disease is much higher, like with any other disease. Countries which did not close schools for in-person learning (e.g. Russia) have found this out the hard way.
Having designed several sites and products without frameworks (e.g. https://github.com/kiprotect/klaro/tree/master/src/scss) I think it's way more concise and easy than relying on a framework.
Do you have numbers for that?

If I found the right equations to use, the entropy from CO2 being diluted into the atmosphere is a bit over 400 joules per gram.

Burning enough carbon to produce a gram of CO2 releases 9000 joules.

So if we assume we have to undo combustion to store CO2, the entropy factor only makes it 5% harder.

If we assume we don't have to undo combustion to store CO2, then we could use oil to fuel the process and get up to 20 grams captured for each gram produced.

Did I do the math wrong?

Isolating CO2 is really bothersome but as far as I know it's not the raw thermodynamic factors that have the most impact.
Trackballs don't use the wheels to transmit the movements these days (at least modern Logitech trackballs don't seem to). They're using optical sensors, just like mice. Of course, there is still some contact surface like a wheel or a bearing to clean.
I tested this with a Raspberry Pi Pico and it works. The usb device name doesn't even have to match, only the VID and PIDs. I used Adafruits circuitpython and changed these two to 0x1532 and 0x0084. After attaching the Pico to a Windows VW wit all current updates, the Razer Installer comes up and opens a file explorer NT authority/system.

The "open powershell here" option was missing in my VW, I don't think it's on by default. EDIT: Oh I have to hold shift while right clicking! My bad.

In case anyone want's to try this, I've uploaded the compiled firmware for the Pico here: https://anonfiles.com/T9L8F8D9u1/firmware_uf2 (circuitpython with changed VID / PID values)
Try this with Hebrew... Because of the RTL nature of the language, we had ISO-8859-8 and ISO-8859-8-I, which as a child I always thought of as "Inverted". The characters would render the same, but going backwards. When entering a website you never knew if the author wrote the text backwards so you can present it as it is, or they wrote it normally so you need to flip it. And I can still recall some websites using CP852, back from the DOS era. Entering a website really did start with about a minute of fiddling with the encoding.
Yet it’s sad that they were able to do this, because it suggests that they’ve encountered it enough to develop a procedure for fixing it. (That seems more likely than it being a one-off thing, since I would expect very few people to be capable of figuring out how to convert it, even if they encounter it commonly.)

Could someone here enlighten me what a nonlinear system in this context is, or rather what it is not?

What I mean is: If I give you an arbitrary black box that computes outputs based on inputs I could make it arbitrarily hard to find any relationship whatsoever between input and output. Say I take the input, an internal hidden variable of some kilobytes and return some hash of the two. There's (nearly) certainly no way to learn anything meaningful about my internal variable by just observing input and output. So what's the limitation in the context of this paper? Differentiable functions?
I love blimps and dirigibles, but I have always wondered about their practicality, particularly in inclement weather. like, when it rain, they get heavier,

For rural or sub-urban logistics I can see how it could work, if you have large enough landing zones, or if you have strong enough station keeping maybe a winching system from a few stories high (then the weight question pops up)

I'm curious about the economics question like what kind of 300 / 600lb shipment is worth the trip, and how much of it are there in a blimp-appropriate weather areas that it justifies the development and deployment of a whole new class of transport? (and how do you plan of safeguarding it against pirates;)

Do you plan to store your airships are a particular location or will the just hang out in the air somewhere waiting for a payload?

- Would there be any advantage to using a pump+compressor to vary the quantity of helium in the envelope? What about heaters / coolers ?

I have track record of making predictions on Metaculus.com . And yeah, the new variants were a suprise. We were expecting sars-cov-2 to evolve slower than influenza. I think this will still hold. But from my experience with generic algorithms I also knew that evolution happens the quickest after some breakthrough, when the new solution is not yet optimal. The issue is that we don't know what optimum looks like for this virus.

Besides that experts were also telling us that immunity from vaccine will likely fade.
Using your car horn in that manner is illegal in most places, as it should be. Shouldn't you be more upset with the airline for designing and selling a product that is almost unusable because of how uncomfortable it is?
