Humans often aren't reasonable, but two things they respond poorly to are hate and shame.
I find it hilarious that the ones who do all the real work to make Reddit what it is, ie the mods and the communities, make zilch from this. The mods are doing their best to make their subreddits the best it can be, for free. Meanwhile the engineers and the execs and investors at Reddit make billions.
Because when you are a jackass and everyone applauds you, you are still a jackass.
I'm not sure what your argument is? That pleasure is what determines if something is ok to do? People have reasons for not taking a vaccine the same way people have reasons for drinking. They have their own reasons, it is their choice.
That reminds me of some AI ethicist who have as a "policy" to never give a platform to their opponents. ie, never respond to their arguments and just keep mobbing.

Interesting.
...yes, yes I did.
Nope. What the study actually says [0] is that it's equivalent in production of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. PAH is a category of emission at which two-stroke oil-burning engines are disproportionately bad, and modern cars are reasonably good. If we measured on another axis (say, rubber particles), we could write a headline that cars are 1000 times worse polluters than leaf blowers.

Like, leaf blowers aren't great for the environment, and maybe mandating catalytic converters for them would improve air quality, but these specific claims are all made in bad intellectual faith.

Note that this is equivalent to computing `upperbound * randbits(nbits + 64) >> (nbits + 64)` combined with an early-exit optimization, albeit one that becomes less effective as `upperbound` increases: if `upperbound = 2^nbits - 1`, the probability of using the early exit is basically zero. (As the author points out, Lemire's optimization may be used to improve this exit test).

The early exit optimization, however, may leak information about the random output, since it tells someone with access to timing information whether one or two outputs was used. With standard rejection sampling, the entire sample is discarded if a bias would be produced, so the output is independent of the number of samples. However, here, certain outputs cannot be produced by the early exit (for sufficiently large upper bounds), meaning that an attacker could narrow down the random number if the algorithm exited early.

I think that, to avoid this timing attack vector, the early exit would need to be eliminated - in which case the algorithm would perform no better (and usually worse) than Lemire's approach in terms of expected calls to the random number generator.
There was a great deal of study on the effect extended unemployment benefits during the great recession, and that seemed to show that it reduced people's propensity to apply for (and get) jobs. It would seem that the effect will be similar in this episode, though it certainly warrants further examination.
That's a huge part of this, a lot of the shaming is performative. It's less about the person and more about signaling.
I'd also add to this, get to the point quicker. I got really bored with this article about three paragraphs in. You want to persuade me? Start by not wasting my attention.

I'm sick and tired of people telling me what to do under virtually all everyday circumstances, and especially so when the rationale is faulty (or at least up for debate). It gets even more wearing when they take a long time about it or use an unnecessarily large quantity of words.

If you are trying to balance out the "benefit" of killing humans then you are lost. That's the "but it'd be really convenient to take land from the Jews and kill them!" kind of ethics.

I would suggest you disengage from whatever is giving you this kind of warped mentality.
Given that it spreads faster amongst the unvaccinated it’s the vaccines that are prolonging it.

The entire flatten the curve narrative is about making it last as long as possible.

With deltas R value of 5 to 8 it could be over by Christmas even with vaccines and masks.
Its culturally acceptable to shame drunk drivers, smokers (in public spaces), and more. Im not necessarily agreeing we should but it certainly follows that shaming people for endangering others re: vaccines is in line with modern cultural norms.
Food from school lunches are a big one that got impacted.

It is not my problem if people who are unvaccinated would rather inject horse deworming paste than take a vaccine. They suffer the consequences of their actions and they Darwin themselves out of existence.

I feel no sympathy for these people. In fact, I feel less than zero sympathy, because they take up space in hospitals for people that do truly need it, such as children, immunocompromised, or those otherwise unable to take the vaccine. So, I will shame away.

For those saying that many of these people come from an understandable place, I cannot agree. If you read the posts on r/HermanCainAward, most of the people shown are openly mocking the vaccine, that it's a "liberal creation" and it is implied that they are not taking it merely due to it being pushed by the government, that they do not want their "freedoms" (to die or take medicine for animals, I presume) being "infringed."
> How a code that decides what to ignore or not is a sensor issue?

I guess "Sensor Module" would be a more accurate description.

Most automotive systems are designed as a series of modules that function independently but jointly form a system. They either broadcast or consume messages over the CAN BUS.

The Volvo V60 for example has a Forward Sensor Module, the radar, which outputs a handful parameters like Primary Target Range, Voltage, and Automatic Alignment Offset. It's the responsibility of other body modules to consume that data. The Closing Velocity Module might then broadcast Acceleration related messages which intern would be picked up by the Adaptive Cruise Control Module. Or it might broadcast Collision Warning Messages which the Stereo Module reads and responds by blaring a warning noise out the speakers and also the Brake Control Module receives and applies the brakes.
Anecdotally, and perhaps keep in mind I'm quite skilled with bash, in school we had a few people managing their desktops with scripts. Set things like desktop preferences, ssh config, sometimes add a different desktop environment (we each had our own user and it worked with LDAP, so we roamed around and that's why this was useful). I was the only one using bash, some others in my year used Ansible. They seemed to be spending half of each afternoon trying to fix something in Ansible, also trying to use other people's scripts if I remember correctly, etc.; for me another preference was just another line of bash and it worked reliably given that the desktops were all the same OS.

If you know bash already and you don't want to use it to reinvent a big wheel, yeah I would not hesitate to use it after seeing this struggle with more modern tools. Most of the Docker setup configs I see are already 60% bash commands strung together with backslashes on each line and broken syntax highlighting (because you're in a different file format).
Unvaccinated people are basically drunk drivers who won't shut up about their right to drive drunk.

It’s not a pay-to-rent mode they are proposing. They are proposing getting rid of scarcity and allowing folks to borrow for a period of time, as many times as they’d like. An option to keep it longer than the allotted time is akin to a late fee.

In what way would more access to literature make society worse off?
> Mocking the unvaccinated dead does not save lives.

Sometimes it does. I personally know one person who finally got vaccinated exactly because of these stories—and because of the mockery.
I’m not going to quote the dictionary for you, but that’s indisputably false.
Yep. The one thing a gov't is supposed to do is to serve its citizenry directly.

This is pandering to the potential of foreign investment --which could benefit already rich people and who potentially price out the locals. Yay, globalization.
Right, but you don’t break through to someone who’s in an “in-group” by mocking their group. It just creates more in-group / out-group.

I’m not saying you should buy their arguments.

You need to give people an “out”. If folks approach it as proving that the unvaccinated are “wrong”, then it just makes them dig in their heels.
I just write all the comments first, which forces me to think about the obstacles up front before any code is written.
That's an epidemic among other subreddits too. My banning story from r/Conservative is similar. I got banned for reminding a Trump quote, that was about it. I also got the same "we owe you nothing more than that" attitude when I objected. https://twitter.com/esesci/status/1432377896903925760
It is highly unlikely the human species as we know it will last a million more years. Why should we worry about what might happen in the far future?
At least here in the DC area, the natural predators are not up to the task of controlling the mosquitos. We don't spray and we don't have any nearby bodies of standing water and our yards are still unbearable with tiny tiger mosquitos every summer. Luckily, it's also just plain too hot and humid to bother with outside in the summer, so yeah, fuck summer.

> As for the first point, fine grained control for what goes into a commit, that's definitely a power user feature, but an important one of course.

It's not a power-user feature, and it shouldn't be considered one. It should be taught as a standard part of any workflow: before committing, look at the changes you're about to add, and use hunk-staging features (e.g. trivial using Magit) to stage and commit unrelated changes separately.

For example, did you clean up some comments and docstrings while you were adding a new feature? Commit those improvements separately, so that if you need to revert the feature commit later, the improvements won't also be reverted. It also makes reviewing much easier, as each commit or patch, having its own purpose, can easily be reviewed separately, and attention can be focused on parts that need changing.

> Again there are ways to achieve this without introducing new state (the index), for example by allowing to amend the last commit.

Amending a commit does not serve the same purpose as staging files and hunks separately into the index.

It's my impression that few git users understand the value of the index, because few of them use porcelains that expose its power in simple ways. If I had only "git add -p" to use, I might not, either. But Magit is, well, like its name implies, like magic.
> If your only method of contacting your customer is via email and the email is demonstrably controlled by a hacker then you have a hacker for a customer.

That's obviously false. The context of this very discussion is that more than one person is able to log into an account for many email accounts.
Who's being coerced? People have the free choice to take or not take the vaccine. Both decisions have consequences. That is it. No coercion is involved.
Yes, The law of unintended consequences will soon be enforced...
It sounds like you took my comment about not liking faces too literally. I apologise if my metaphorical use of language was ambiguous, and I can only take comfort from the fact that the people who upvoted my original comment seemed to have understood my choice of idiom.
I reclaimed one of these accounts for a customer of mine - literally 15 minutes ago.

The first scam email was Hey. Catching up. Follow up email was I'm in a bind tonight. Unexpected bad thing happened. Can you order this gift card and send it to my relative for me?

The initial phish was an bogus AOL email saying there's a system change coming up and the customer needs to log in and apply the change to their email account.

I did this heavily when I was learning WML/WAP while on vacation a long time ago. I do it from time to time when I have a complex algo to write
I do this for things that require a lot of thought, but I tend to do it with pseudo code and little scribbles on the side (tables of variable state for loop count 1..x, etc) and not worry too much about syntax, scope, and so on. Usually that gets to a point where I can put the paper down and try it with real code.
Were they structurally different (no voting maybe?), or just had a lot fewer people?
Can you really blame those commentors? I certainly cannot, and I said so in another comment of mine. Reddit was right to close down actually harmful subs like r/NoNewNormal which was basically vaccine conspiracy peddling. Compared to that, HCA is nothing. It's not causing anything, it's only showing the effects of things like being antivax.
To tell you, we have emails from 300 workers and we see zero submissions of 1700 tasks we put on batch.
> You overeating doesn't give everyone else around you diabetes.

This seems like a deflection. Given GP's argument, a better question would be are obese people more likely to spread COVID than non-obese people?

Well, we know someone who has contracted COVID can expect worse outcomes if they're obese.

Given that, it seems safe to assume that obese people are more likely to get breakthrough infections and/or that they have slower recoveries (i.e. more coughing/sneezing and more spreading COVID) than non-obese people.

So it seems reasonable (in a back-of-the-envelope sort of way) to infer that obese folks are more likely to spread COVID than non-obese folks.

Now, back to GP's argument--If we're suggesting that non-vaccinated people are less deserving of healthcare than vaccinated people because they're contributing the the spread of COVID, why wouldn't we treat obese folks the same?
Sure. So, let's say you guess my password. Now you get prompted for the second factor, which you don't have.

In fact I have Security Keys, so, now you're trying to break AES, which you can't do.

But let's suppose you're attacking the average person whose second factor is a TOTP authenticator. Unsurprisingly Microsoft only give you a finite rate of tries at TOTP codes. And of course the correct code keeps changing meanwhile, so you can guess forever and never have better than about 1 in a 100 000 chance to guess a valid code each time. How many guesses do you think you get before your client is considered vexatious and can't try any more?

Healthcare is a limited resource. People who overeat, drinking or otherwise contribute to their health problems sure as hell do take up healthcare resources from everyone else.
The same can be said of any fear that causes someone to hurt people.

The abusive husband has a reasonable fear of being abandoned. The white supremacist has a reasonable fear of losing their jobs to competition. Etc etc

Being able to give a casual explanation for the behavior doesn't justify it. At some point people have an obligation to not harm others.
They have fallen upto a media trap setup to push blame while ignoring everything else.

You hear the same in places where 90% have gotten two shots.

The vaccines don't work so well. If you want to reduce the curve you need to go out 70% less. No one wants to share that getting a vaccine was never enough. We were told just get a shot and it will kill covid you can go back to normal living. The vaccines are not that good.
They shouldn't have needed to "manage it".

It's like saying someone "managed" to drive the wrong way down a freeway for a mile or two. Even if it was at 3am and there was no other traffic "no harm" doesn't apply, because it shouldn't have happened.

Another part of the consideration is that transistors are abstracted away into functions like logic gates partially because it makes it easier for the designers. Neurons on the other hand can likely take advantage of all sorts of complex interactions and behaviors as the "maximum local complexity" is not an issue.

The ubiquiti software, mainly the controller, is some of the worst I've ever seen. Bought one of their devices based on the recommendation of a friend, but never again. The controller is cordoned off now but I'm uneasy about the internet access it needs for updates. Also, with every update I need to wonder if it's going to nuke the config and factory reset the switch again (need remote hands when that happens).

Then again, I have no experience with other "enterprise" switches. All I needed is one ~20-port switch that can do VLANs anyway, so perhaps I should find one with simple old serial control and I just plug that into one of the servers for remote management.
No, I don't use Twitter.
Comment above me claimed we should have sympathy for unvvacinated people [that have access to vaccine] who die, just like we do sympathize with people who die due to smoking, drinking, etc.

I argued that being vaccinated is not comparable to those, because unlike them, your body doesn't have any urge to not vaccinated. It's very easy to get vaccinated. It's just a stupid decision.
It's something that I'm still trying to force myself to do. I do know that I'm more productive away from the computer. But it's so tempting to just tweak, compile, test, iterate... I generally use pen and paper when I'm stuck and require deeper thinking.

Also, a lot of the work of a programmer consists in understanding existing code. You need the computer for that.

Let me remove all your doubts and assure you that I have absolute no knowledge of the subject whatsoever, apart from what comes from being born in a not-particularly-religious Hindu family. I never claimed any special knowledge nor do I need any to be able to verify your claim.

You are making a straightforward, factual claim that it is the accepted view that the whole purpose of Krishna was to wipe out the Kshatriyas. I am not even asking you to establish that this is the accepted view, which is your full claim. I am just asking for one source that reiterates the same view.
Decentralization and strong moderation are mutually exclusive. You can't simply have a single source of authority for content moderation and decentralize it too. It's either decentralized with variable rate of moderation quality, or have it centralized. There's no way inbetween.
I feel like I am downvoted for just engaging in an opinionated discussion, but whatever...

The sender there have more power over the result of the exchange, and respondent have a kind of passive role of reacting to the initial stimulus. The common courtesy is one thing known to almost everyone who cares but the sender's passive-agressiveness is hidden from their sight, as is the desire to pressure respondent for some kind of results. The respondents in a calm and charitable state of mind wouldn't normally overreact as much so they are either overworked or anxious which increases the threshold of picking the bad in seemingly common stuff.

It's impossible to change other random people nor alleviate their anxieties or tiredness. So it's on the sender to avoid that which I implied in the TS comment, which in itself is based on the article's examples.
For myself, I’m from Ohio and I’ve definitely seen language used this way. It is really dependent who you are talking to.
