it's not really the linter's job to say "are you sure". the linter just applies the rules and generates messages, it's up to you to do with those messages what you will

when using the python integration in vscode (which runs pylint), clicking on a linter error gives me a context menu where one of the options is essentially "are you sure?" and will automatically adds the appropriate comment to disable the linter for that line.
This semantic discussion seem pretty pointless as it doesn't focus on the whole idea behind the article. It really doesn't matter what definition for "writing" you use.
The situation in Japan for population is similar to that of the US. The boomer population is huge, and they had fewer children, so as they're dying out, there's less people. The difference between the US and Japan, is that immigration replaces the difference, keeping the overall population mostly the same.

Japan is difficult to emigrate to, as you need a work visa, and though knowing Japanese isn't a hard requirement for work, in most industries you won't be able to get a job without it. Becoming fluent in Japanese, with daily structured education takes around 2 years.
I've heard claims that some broadcasters don't want to run ads for the as-seen-on-TV antenna products.

It's literally no longer in their interest to encourage cord-cutting. They make $x per customer per year on carriage fees, and it's difficult to argue that you can make more than $x by saying "we can reach the cord-cutters better than other media products" and using that to goose your ad rates.

I guess their goal would be to eventually subsume into being a cable channel entirely, so you don't have to run all the transmitter infrastructure. Of course, then they no longer have a privileged position when negotiating with cable/satellite providers.
Ironically (to me at least, because it's a construct I use -far- more rarely than while), this actually seems like a case where a C-style for loop might actually be nicer:

for (my $scale = 5; $scale > 0.1; $scale /= 2) {
do_stuff($scale);
}
I'll do whatever I want whenever I want, thanks for your input though.
Yes, clearly, but a lot of other people seem to be convinced. Please tell them they're being unfortunate too.
> And that for RenTech to agree to this penalty implies they have a ton of money sitting around that they shouldn’t, given the capacity constrained nature of the Medallion fund.

They might know they would definitely lose in court, and end up with a bigger penalty (on top of more legal expenses).
> we should have open borders between all nations and unrestricted migration

we should definitely have that. This will single-handedly allow equality of opportunity to be realized.

The problem is that most first world countries' people would be worse off under this scheme (with people from under-developed countries being better off).
I'm not convinced we need more direct democracy. One obvious failing is if you ask the electorate they will vote for increased spending and lower taxes.
It directly and vividly contradicts Biden's statement that anyone would need F-15s and nuclear weapons to defeat the US. That is the point. The Taliban didn't need them. Neither did the Viet Cong for that matter.

"It's ok if we take away your guns because they don't matter anyway when it comes to protecting yourself from the government" is contradictory to reality. This has nothing to do with characterizing any failure as partisan unless you mean Biden's failure to prove his statement correct.
If you enable it. And if you really care about avoiding while-loops, you can still silence it for the ones you really want to have (e.e. main loops like your example, as also mentioned in the article).

Probably not for me though.

Sure, if you are evaluating at whether the claims are accurate on that level of precision, similarity may not be relevant.

However for the rest of us, evaluating whether the work is relevant in the surrounding world really is important. And for that, resemblance to originals is critical in some use cases. I.e. we're evaluating a fit for specific use cases.

Do you believe that is not a useful discussion?

You should be able to create an unbounded for loop as well. After all, a python process has mutable state, so it should be fairly simple to increment the length of your loop inside the loop body.

I don't know why lots of developers have chosen GNOME/GTK to build their own desktop environment (Cinnamon, Solus, PopOS etc) but at this point, it's pretty clear that GNOME/GTK developers don't care one bit about them. They want to control their apps and their ecosystem and don't want anyone telling them what to do. GNOME/GTK is heading toward Google's open source model of "look but don't touch". Anything that doesn't conform to their way is a "hack".

If Jeremy and others really want to control their own desktop environments and apps and themes, they should start searching for alternatives (Qt?) or build their own. It's a mistake to consider GNOME/GTK as a community project.
I understand that resentment.

I hope that the uncertainty, lack of authority, and amateurism that I ascribe to up-speaking is rightly placed. I hope that it's just a matter of cultural norms that young women are the most likely to speak this way.

But what if there's nothing intrinsically grating about up-speaking, and instead it only reminds us of young women?

I've convinced myself that it's the former, but it wouldn't blow my mind if I were wrong.
I did a quick check, but I'm not an expert.

Make one the main and the backup in readonly.

https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/read_only_gitlab.h...

You can stop the readonly from doing CI.

Do a healthcheck on the main repo and let a gateway in front it.

If the main is down, undo the readonly access.

I'm not 100% sure what to do when the main goes backup though.

That aside, I'm not sure if you want this. What duration/year was a downtime on the datacenter blocking deployments/coding?
Gnome and GTK are designed with themes as a core feature, and have been for ages. This is like refusing to support application menus (vs window menus) when they became a core part of Gnome. I personally may not use them, but it is part of the system UI guidelines, and if I want my app to integrate with the rest of the system, I need to support it.

Discussing what makes themes difficult to support - how to design themes that don't break good apps, and how to design apps that don't break with good themes - would be far more productive than telling people not to use a core feature of their desktop.

Third, as slumdev's mysteriously crossed-out comment accurately states, in any case, every single person who came through Ellis Island

* was a legal immigrant

* had passed a medical inspection

* had proof of having enough resources to pay for their upkeep in the US, or a US financial sponsor guaranteeing same

* was turned away if failing any of the above tests, with no possibility of appeal

I, for one, am very much in favor of reinstating such barriers to entering the US.

PS - One more thing: Every single person who came through Ellis Island was coming to a country with an enormous demand for unskilled labor. This is no longer true.
If it has been weeks.

Have you sent a certified letter explaining your need for communication.

Have you looked a malpractice attorney?

I would do both of these things asap.

Doesn't matter if the company is tanking an attorney has a responsibility to their clients, and most bar associations frown on this situation.

But with anything legal, finding an attorney who specializes in the area of law you are having issue is likely your first step.
> The only way to get the vaccine numbers up is to make vaccines mandatory for school, employment, travel, etc like other vaccines are.

I agree with this, but not necessarily for the same reason.

I think this gives a whole lot of people a very clear and easy way to feel like they were still “right”, but to also get vaccinated.

They can blame someone for “forcing” them, but still get vaccinated. This is especially important if they have previously told many people that “they’re not getting the vaccine”.

It lets them out of commitments, and makes them more receptive to real information. Since, when it starts to feel more like you’re going to get the vaccine at some point, you’re more willing to rationalize towards making that okay, rather than rationalizing reasons why not getting the vaccine is okay.
Debian had a really good solution to this problem -- they just called Firefox "Iceweasel". I don't even remember what they were mad about but it makes me giggle every time it shows up.

Exactly what everyone called a gang or bandits in the Americas.

For crying out loud "raiding" is listed in the Bedouin Wikipedia page under "traditions". (Again not the only practice, but it is what it is).

Also note that raiders are not generally also herders or traders and don't act in some common good and share their loot with the formers. (they share with their own close family) (most Bedouin families suffer from the raiders)

If you still have issues with seeing this as bandits also note that these tribes come with child abuse and women slavery bundled, but hey who are we to judge.

This all thread now reminds me of the movie Dogville. Highly recommend.

And don't get me wrong. They could have easily formed an autonomous territory and collect passage taxes. They didn't. The raiders, "protectors", were exactly, literally what we call gang or bandits anywhere else. Now you can go philosophical about how raiders and gang families are just tiny states, but use general terms please, these raiders are generally not different than others
I'm surprised the article is about 1.5 year old COVID restrictions, and not 20 year old "war on terror" ones.

The US has had standing "temporary" policies of imprisonment or assassination without trial, torture, and mass invasion of privacy for almost 20 years now. There are limitations on the rights to equal protection, to assistance of counsel in criminal prosecutions, and to open access to court hearings, which are simply accepted as status quo.

Personally I would not argue that the US is not "free"... but if you want to talk about emergency limits of democracy encroaching upon that definition, IMO the War on Terror is a stronger argument.
> I would not in a million years trade Australia's restrictions for those of the United States just to exchange Australia's death rate with that of the US. it's hard to imagine that any reasonable, well-adjusted person would want to do that.

45,000 people in Australia are alive right now who would be dead if Australia had the USA's death rate.

I'm quite sure the family and friends of every single one of those 45,000 people strongly disagree with you.

> Mny password attempts for 1 username

Credential stuffing isn’t password bruteforcing. You don’t try half a billion passwords for one username. Instead, you try countless previously leaked username/password combinations from many ostensibly benign residential IPs. Each user account may only see one attempt. The goal isn’t to break into a specific account, but rather, to compromise as many as possible.
I'm guessing, but they will probably do police visits periodically as they do with existing home quarantine (i.e. if you're a close contact of a case).

Is filing blatantly false reports (even police ones) in the hopes of deliberately crashing the website and also encouraging others to do so legal though? You also haven't answered my question(s):

> You are saying that this isn't encouraging malicious activity then?

> So these TikTokers are not script-kiddies then?

There are other ways to combat this. But intentionally trying to taking down a site is exactly like malicious internet activity comparable with coordinated efforts such as [0], given they are encouraging others to do the same.

The website owners also have the option to trace them down, report it to the police and they will be dealt with by the authorities.

What the TikTokkers are doing isn't really a smart way of trying to change or protest about something one disagrees with. Just proves they don't have an argument.

Upspeaking is subconsciously used as a defense mechanism. It is advertising a lack of confidence, which is intended to draw a cooperative rather than combative response. It is signalling that "I am unsure of what I am saying". It is based off of the vocal intention of inquisition. It is a subconscious defense mechanism. The bias you speak of is omnipresent. It is also within the speaker. Think about that. The speaker chooses to deploy a style that will bias the listener to view the speaker in a certain way. The bias being present in the speaker is the key factor to understanding this phenomenon. The experiment that I propose is: if the bias was gone, would the speaker still use this speaking technique?
>At the same time I reckon we should throw money at stuff even half- (not baked, but, half-) completed...because the pay-off is high (if it works) even if the current state of art right now is weak.

I don't disagree with that line of reasoning in general - moonshot projects have led to amazing discoveries in the past and should definitely be funded.

In this particular case, though, there are both very, very strong arguments to suggest that we reached the peak of what the current paradigm can achieve back in the late 00's - as well as very, very strong (financial and cultural) pressure to ensure all new research projects in the field adhere to the current paradigm.

>I get your frustration at the perceived support for a research direction you view as wrong, but I think this is normal, especially in emerging tech.

It's so, so much deeper than that. The researchers in the area know full well what they're doing is complete bullshit, but toe the line anyway because that's where the funding comes from.

It's not just a wrong research direction but a soft and invisible form of academic fraud. This is not normal (or at least shouldn't be normal), and we should not be feeding the beast.

We could possibly have much, much stronger BCI tech today if the incumbent culture weren't actively impeding innovation.

Yet you mention observable reasons at the beginning, before abstracting it right past spherical cows on friction less planes to its purely mathematical concept.

Especially with attacks like row hammer one could argue that redundancy or the lack thereof has a significant observable impact on how modern systems behave.
> Anyone who thinks differently is arguing for a shadow gov, i.e. unelected bureaucrats who answer to no one and can make decisions unilaterally without consequence... not exactly democracy.

Lots of countries have an establishment "civil service" comprised of those "unelected bureaucrats" that you mention, and it actually works out quite well for them.

That said, they aren't unaccountable: they answer to departmental heads, MPs, committees, etc. A big advantage of the system is to prevent mad-swings in policy just because the head-of-government changed.

You mount the box somewhere that allows for access to a good antenna, and something to proxy the data back to your local network.

Why do people need to sound authoritative?

I hear a lot of bullshit from people who focus on how they sound. Can't authority be established through work history? TBH, the more polished and confident a presenter sounds, the more likely they are to be actively bullshitting, and it's really annoying to see people fall for it "because he sounded so confident."

If you are ignoring someone's point because of the sound of voice, rather than quality of content... Yikes. I guess certain silicon valley-isms (e.g. Theranos) start to make sense if people really do that in a corporate setting.
