How about ignoring the fact that a far higher percentage of shooting victims survive gunshot wounds now than they did in the 70's, which has a significant impact on lowering the number of gun deaths, while increasing the number of victims with lifelong impairments from their wounds.

Or the correlation/causation fallacy of assuming that new gun purchases (primarily in the suburbs) drove the spike in murders because it's politically inconvenient to assume significant departures of police officers in cities like Minneapolis might be a more potent correlating event to investigate?

50% of the gun murder victims in the USA are Black, and the vast majority of these murders (like all murders in the US) involve a perpetrator matching the ethnicity of the victim. The human beings who live in these neighborhoods feel like their safety has "collapsed", and they certainly aren't right wing reactionaries. They just don't want every summer holiday weekend to involve kids getting shot in crossfire between rival gangs. The polling data reveals this rather markedly.

Here's a Gallup poll (a few months after George Floyd's murder by Derek Chauvin) which shows that 81% of Black Americans want the police presence in their community to remain the same or be increased.

It's almost as if the ivory tower, academic egghead activists who CLAIM to represent Black Americans weren't elected and shouldn't be viewed as if they were.
My twins were born June 2020 and all my immediate family (parents, brother, etc) live in the EU and haven’t been able to see them (nor their other grandkids). Not allowing tourists to come visit I can get behind but splitting up close family, especially for these extended periods of time (and especially when they are vaccinated!) is just cruel and senseless. I really don’t see how this is helping anything, given that countless countries with much higher case rates are not on the banned list.

This matches my take. The problem is that these companies are serving two distinct roles:

1. Knowledge dissemination and preservation

2. Community consensus and reputation building

SciHub is the obvious answer to problem number 1. It costs literally nothing to distribute this knowledge to the community, and I'd call attempts to recreate the distribution channel foolish and misguided (at best).

Number 2 is much harder. When I was in academia (and watching my wife go through a Masters and then a PhD in a science related field) SciHub was an excellent way to find and read a paper, but it was not an excellent way to judge the quality or trustworthiness of that paper.
It's not really about women. The levels in video games are manufactured goals. Making music sound good is an innate goal. In the same way making a beautiful build in Minecraft is also an innate goal and so is finding a creative way to optimize your factory in Factorio, which is why that's a lot more impressive to people outside the game than becoming a level 121 mage.

Here in Paris, it is becoming a nightmare.

The cityhall is led by incompetent and for a few years now they have started to do "media visible" demagogic actions without real thinking or discussion with the population.

For cars for example, they don't really try to be intelligent and have the most efficient and fast mix of transportation. They just try to annoy as much as possible the car drivers even when it was not justified.

And now Paris is dying, it becomes derelict and ugly, and it is losing inhabitants every year. And let's not speak about the abysmal debt that was created in a few years.
So much debt, in fact, that the city hall is not anymore able to pay for maintaining the city, like fixing pot holes and city furniture.

It is easy to think that the car is bad, and people are angry because they don't want to lose their egoistic comfort. But here you should see the overall situation:

Except during the covid period, Metro and regional trains are most of the time in over capacity, late and unreliable. In addition to be dirty and sometimes dangerous.

With the stupid urban changes, the BUS are blocked by the car policies and not able to operate well, efficiently and safely anymore. (For example, having bus stop in the middle of a street in a middle of a busy bicycle lane).

Some commercial area are dying because no one away more than 15 minutes by feet could by anything there and be able to transport it back home.

And for bonus point of idiocracy, it is said that Taxi prices will raise a lot now, because the taxi fares are calculated like this: higher than 30km/h, price per distance. Lower than 30 km/h price per minute.
> I expect EdgeDB's GraphQL implementation just translates to EdgeQL/SQL and can simply optimise that.

Yeah, that's what we do. Any GraphQL query can easily be compiled to an EdgeQL (as it's a superset language) query, which then can be compiled to one SQL query.
"Masks and vaccines do far less than you've been led to believe."

Hard to explain, but programming elicits a visceral reaction in most people. Something about the infinite and fractal nature of information complexity growth, I think. :)

We see it more in cars because of the isolation and velocitization: someone running or on a bicycle _can_ be rude too but it’s far, far less common because they feel like part of the community without the isolation of being in a sealed metal box kept multiple body-lengths from other people and there isn’t billions of dollars of design and marketing saying that it’s all about going 70mph, anyone who doesn’t go fast is a fool, and everyone else should get out of your way.

I used to car commute & now use bike/transit exclusively. I see more people being considerate, apologizing for confusion, etc. in a given day than I used to see in a year of driving in California. The reduced safety & quality of life isn’t just because cars are faster - a lot of people just seem to do the same thing internet commenters do and let distance bring out their worst sides, only they’re doing it with several tons of metal which can reach killing speed in less time than it takes to think.

Not necessarily. People put a lot of stock into interviews because they could affect not just today, but years of their future. Whereas nobody really expects to get fired if they can't resolve the outage in 45 minutes (instead of 3 hours), say.

Especially if you're junior and your current job sucks and you've never (yet) passed an interview for a better job.

This is counter-productive, but the brain doesn't always work how you'd want it to.
Greenland expedition discover 'northernmost island'
Thank you guys for your comments.
I totally agree with most of you, when the tests are short and simple, when everyone on your team follows good practice, this library is probably an overkill.

But when your system is a bit more complex or a legacy, your unit tests are complex, your team is not that mature, not everyone follows good practice, comments does not match with reality or even crunch multiple scenarios into a single tests, asking them to re-write unit test may sounds rude...(guess I might sounds more like complaining now...), but anyway, that is kinda how all of a sudden this idea came to me the other day while I was writing my own unit tests.

My ideas is if my team can adopt this, at least this can help us improve unit test qualities and readability. Then maybe once we become a more mature team, we can ditch the 'crutches'.

true, but how likely is it that those will get the ax too?
Judging from past top down decisions like this, it seems more likely that companies or parents will over implement this and extend it to appease the higher ups. (Until they correct and clarify their initial statement... rinse and repeat)
That's what Triplebyte is attempting to do, yep. But it does seem like a considerable challenge and they're still figuring out their product. Also feels like for an industry-scale problem like this, it would require a consortium of the major employers (not just FAANG but large companies from Microsoft to Intel to Oracle and beyond) to hash out some sort of standard, not to mention a body representing the engineers (if not a SWE union, at least something like the IEEE/ACM) and the academic institutions that provide the education.

One wonders what the history of how the credentials in medicine or law were forged.
of course that's where the conflict comes in with a disease; by exercising bodily autonomy and therefore increasing the risk of covid, you also risk others' health by spreading it. But that's the benefit of the vaccine right? If you do catch it, you are extremely unlikely to have a severe case, and hopefully at some point a vaccine that prevents catching specific strains will be developed, leading to only antivaxxers getting covid.

I don't know what the right answer is when such conflicts arise, but I don't see the point of pretending that the antivaxxers' claims of freedoms being violated is somehow ambiguous - and to not counter that argument would be intellectually dishonest. I do know that the right answer for me and my family is to take the vaccine and wear a mask.

Monopolies are often created through innovation, either through lowering costs or increasing quality above competitors. Carnegie Steel, for example, used the Bessemer process to drastically lower the cost of steel and thus drive competitors out of business. Google used innovation to make searches much better and faster.

There are certainly other ways to create a monopoly, such as regulatory capture, illegal activities, and price dumping, but natural monopolies due to superior levels of innovation do exist. The reason we generally want to avoid monopolies isn't because of the way they are created, it's because of the damage they can cause after they are firmly established.

I don't always use :make. Navigating manually is fast: Specific lines is just :NN, jumping to an open buffer is just :b substr<tab><enter>.

Or, :tag FunctionName (which has completion) to jump to a symbol.

Or, forward incremental search to jump to a string in a file.

I also have a plugin to invoke fzf, (\tb to search buffers and \t to search for files by name), but I don't use it that often.

VIM has many tools to navigate through text. Everyone's got their own preferred methods.

The problem is you cannot do "sustainable grazing" at the scale we are at now - 7.6 billion humans.
> this idea of sustainable grazing is not a thing that's happening in the real world

It is, in many places. I live in Montana (alongside some 2.6M head of cattle), and we have vast ranches with sustainable numbers of cattle. The land they live on isn't (and wouldn't be) forest, nor is it farmable (typically too rocky or too much grade).

As for the "blip" argument, Wisconson is ranked 9th, while California is ranked 5th. Hardly a "blip". Also Florida? It's ranked 18th, with 1.6M head.

Actually, most of the top 10 states are naturally grassland states, with California being the outlier.

> get this basic stuff right?

I bought the cheaper Kindle with the ads enabled. They were supposed to be targeted ads, but were usually for feminine hygiene products. I have no idea how any reasonable targeting algorithm would have decided to pitch that stuff to me.

I also enabled for a time context sensitive Amazon ads on my programming web site. What did I get? Endless ads for the Batman movie. Google would do slightly better, they'd show the same ad for a C++ training course over and over and over and over.

I abandoned both of them.

I also have a site on the American Revolution. Google's context sensitive ads showed ads for travel agencies.

Context sensitive ads are so pathetically bad. I can't recall ever seeing one that I even wanted to click on, let alone buy.

There is a simple fix, that nobody does. Allow me, the website designer, to list the categories for the ads. I know my audience far better than Google/Amazon, why don't they allow a little human guidance? Geez, maybe I should patent this idea.
I feel like this might unexpectedly have a good side for consumers.

The ban applies to the service, not the client. Could we have another Renaissance of local gaming again? More games allowing LAN-based play in response to minors not being able to regularly access a centralized server.

Not sure but.. some people I know who work in less well paying office type jobs (perhaps with a large data entry component), see the trend and think they want to get into programming. But they just don't enjoy it whatsoever. Their preferred approach is going to the cheapest college course they find, passing the courses by the skin of their teeth and then showing up with diploma in hand at a job interview. But unfortunately that process doesn't leave them able to contribute much and the employers know it.
I imagine if you knew those were codewords likely to appear in a cypher it could certainly help with cryptanalysis.
Oh, this is nice.

This is barely credible as the pitch for an episode of Black Mirror.
Really? I can't name a democratic government that doesn't restrict/ban things they consider harmful to minors. If the CCP or Sweden or whomever else has come to the conclusion that the "excessive modern online gaming" is tantamount to gambling, it's a reflection on their values / evaluations (or even just the differing characteristics of popular games in their country), not the relative reach/control exhibited by their governmental system.

> It’s about more than just online games. It’s about control.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Politics and governance is about compromise and deciding where to draw lines, not slippery-slope absolutism about vague ideals and fervent dogmas that are all-too-easily impinged.

> I’m sure the great firewall is perfectly fine as well?

If you can't differentiate between "control of information and discourse across the entire population" and "control of how long (not even 'whether or not') minors can play online videogames" that's your problem.
This assumes the participant is equally motivated and emotionally positive about both paths, and has similar flow state through both paths.

Flow state increases retention and positive benefit, and flow state is often a function of motivation (fun), and more importantly, level of challenge. The benefit games have over nearly every other medium of experiencing a concept, is that the level of challenge is highly personalized.

If you spend a lot of time in one area of an RPG trying to comprehend the plot and thus solve the puzzle, it's still fun because you are moving around and performing more interactions and gathering small bits of context. Compare that to if you are stuck trying to comprehend one page of a difficult book as a 7-year-old.

Playing games allows our brains to catch up to complex concepts through (simulated) movement much the same way as going on walks allows us to process a difficult problem or complex system that is on our mind.
"Alt-right" isn't any sort of established term of art; it was first coined in a casual context less than a decade ago. I've seen some researchers use it as a kind of synonym for "white identity politics", but it seems to me that they're doing so specifically because of the casual usage, not because the term is particularly useful to them.
but there won't be any minor users graduating to of age users.

I'm making an educated guess here, but i'm betting you won't see a real surge in single player games.
That's how it works in most of Europe (for the most part) - there's limits on duty cycle, bandwidth and power.
It has nothing to do with "exceptionality". It has to do with the method not being able to fulfill its contract. Rust's returning `Result<>` is a _different contract_.
So, where are these languages?

You can create a DSL for a team working on a specific problem. Lisp is good at that. What I have not seen is a DSL that anyone else wants to use.

Someone builds a DSL, a small team uses it. It just has to meet the needs of that team. It doesn't have to be bulletproof or elegant. It can have all kinds of rough corners. It can take undocumented tribal knowledge to know how to use it.

The comparison to Rust is therefore almost completely misleading. It's like comparing Linux in 1992 to a commercial Linux distribution today.
To echo the peer comment, I personally don't think an MVP should be poor quality, rather have fewer features. For example, it may present the end user a good experience, with well tested code. On the other hand, it may connect to a database without a cluster setup, or setting up a new enterprise account may require someone to run some SQL. Features are missing, but the features that exist are executed well.
From the wording of the notice, it seems that the government is aware that it's literally impossible to regulate offline games. People will just pirate them.
Where I live, the murders are about social media and “the rap game”. It used to be about drugs but weed is legal now and there are enough junkies to go around.

The entire criminalization of drugs was invented by the Nixon White House as a pretext to oppress black people and “hippies”. There are official tapes and transcripts where it’s all described in great detail so this isn’t a conspiracy theory.

The war on drugs had the side effect of obliterating the credibility of the police. Because its motivations were so blatant and its punishments so harsh, the greater public (yes this includes white people) see the police as causing more problems than they solve. In my city, murder clearance rates are well below 50% because nobody talks to the cops. They’re not going to solve any more of them by having more cops on the street; we have to think about policing differently because the war on drugs has distorted it beyond recognition.
The way we deal with other tiny, indigestible items like asbestos and soot is to accumulate them until we die.
Maybe a few years ago, and that number most likely factors in appetences. Not strictly journeymen.

Any Journeymen not taking home north of $65k should be looking for another job, as their employer is screwing them over. There simply isn't enough of them and employers will gladly pay for someone experienced to join their work force. Even with the recent massive pay increases it is hard to keep people from going somewhere else for even higher pay.

A website like that doesn't really keep up with what is really happening in a field like that. $100K/year working 50-60hours a week is not uncommon.
So, in the US, we have freedom to assemble and associate with other people. Some people are turning to VR Chat and MMOs to congregate. This is especially a thing during a pandemic when we can't physically come together to do things.

Video games aren't all mindless watching of bibs and bobs and dodads and shinies. They're often organized groups of social activity.
>>Social circles are established around online gaming; my teenager feels like he's letting his friends down if he doesn't spend enough time with 'The Clan'. His 'membership' with the group is at risk if he doesn't contribute his time.

Social circles are established around a common interest. Most people have to have some shared interest in order to be friends. I don't know how your son would socialize if he didn't have something in common with his social milieu. If your son was born at an earlier time, he would have to contend with the demonization of skateboarding, calling your friends over the landline, D&D, rock& roll, dance halls, chess, cafes, channel surfing, and any other thing "geeks", "hooligans", "layabouts", and other so-called non-conformists enjoyed when these hobbies were deemed the social malaise of their day. I can't speak for your circumstances in particular, but this argument of the "wrong" social circles enjoying the "wrong" hobbies strikes me as the kind of pearl-clutching I thought would have died with those farcical accusations of Harry Potter promoting witchcraft and covens back in the early 2000s.
It Could Happen Here was pretty haunting. Some of it was hand wavy but a lot felt borderline prophetic.

I should caution people here though. Going down this rabbit hole is not at all good for your mental health and in parallel, much like a particular Big Short scene, glorifying any of the potential scenarios here is glorifying death and suffering on a level never seen before.

We have a lot of problems to solve over the coming years but resisting this train of thought becoming mainstream in the algorithmic feeds that define our future is one of them. This can only have strictly negative consequences of the "self fulfilling prophecy" variety.
The way you explain things doesn't require a ton of existing domain knowledge. Having basic intuitive understanding of binaries and the fact that different codepoints have different memory addresses was sufficient, whereas most articles on this topic get super technical super fast.
