Obviously number 1, do you really need me to lay out the history of documented intentional lies for you? The logic is "torture might not work, but I don't give a shit about these people so there's no downside, and it'll give the guards a way to relieve some stress." Or "yeah the watch isn't good evidence, but all these people are guilty of something, right? I mean they're all Muslim, they all hate us, it doesn't matter which ones we arrest or kill".

You're right that part of it is protecting an image, but that's driven by career ambition and social pressure, not fear. And you're right that they deceive themselves to justify their actions, but again it's not fear driven, it's just the natural "I'm not a bad person" mental protections that we all have all the time. They tell themselves the prisoners deserve it, or that anyone in their position would do the same, or that they're just following orders.
You could Consider going into VFX, as either a Technical Animator (Think Maya/Blender, animating creatures etc), or a Creature Effects person (wrangling Fur and other strange character effects), or a support Pipeline Engineer, where you are in the background helping all the artists in the Studio make the VFX shots.

Lots of the time, you will save your teammates hides by introducing in useful tools if you can program well with python etc.

Although I personally think just working a normal boring low-stress programming job is great, then doing Art on the side whenever creativity hits... Doing Art when you are not feeling creative _IS THE WORST_

The 3rd paragraph mentions that "similar side-effect is seen with the Moderna jab".
> Give me an example of someone who fits your definition of someone who should be forcibly taken under the wing of mental health treatment (whatever that entails) who isn't breaking any laws.

I did not suggest involuntary committal for those not breaking laws. I wrote a sizable portion of those who need mental health treatment are breaking laws (more importantly, they are behaving in a manner that is destructive to other members of society - littering, biological hazards, fire hazards, property crime, etc). Whether it be for schizophrenia, meth and drug addiction, or some combination thereof that make involuntary mental health treatment the only option.
not OP but the point I believe is that while only portions of the population will be exposed to COVID over smaller time ranges like 4 months. Given that the disease is seemingly endemic, the probability of any individual person being exposed to it at any point in the future goes up so restricting it to 4 months includes those exposed and not exposed. To compare the relative risks, it might be more accurate to compare the risk of hospitalization for those individuals who have gotten a covid diagnosis versus those who have been vaccinated.
That’s like saying sober drivers can cause accidents.

It’s the likelihood, and willful the personal choice that leads to a higher of incident which society decides whether or not to tolerate.
PipeWire completely removed lag on bluetooth audio for me, which was a nice unexpected surprise.
This is precisely the type of attitude that keeps Inprise/Idera or whoever it is that owns Delphi from coming up with a reasonable price for the product which the market can afford.

You bring up a good point that this definitely doesn't end when you get out of school. I've worked with more than one person who admitted their high workload in the office could not be achieved without pharmaceutical[2] help. Magic pill = hours of intense focus = keeping your job (at worst) and career growth/promotion (at best).

It kind of reminds me of Vernor Vinge's A Deepness In The Sky[1] where the antagonists use technology/chemistry they called "Focus" on the protagonists in order to induce obsession of a single idea and turn them into brilliant and overachieving slaves. Except many of us, here in the real world, are willingly doing this to ourselves to out-compete each other, for the benefit of our corporate captors.

I hear you.

Same for if you’re disabled, your partner has a medical condition… moving between jobs can be cost less for some, but changing jobs is not cost less universally.

Which means in a given developer pool, there’s usually at least one person who “won’t put up a fuss about implementing industry standard code”.

No they don't. Some people are trying to replicate the ROMs for other phones (like https://download.pixelexperience.org/ ) but that's some community effort. There's nothing vanilla about motorola or google phones.

Why though? Even Android admits it, just go into Settings > Security and Settings > Account and look the amount of stuff that they say runs in the background. That's only what they want to admit though, who really knows what it's doing.
That only applies to car engines; aviation piston engines evolve much slower and commonly required leaded gasoline til recently - specifically for the lead content, beyond the anti-knock properties. Most common avgas is 100LL, with significant (if reduced) lead content.

Cf.
>Lycoming provides a list of engines and fuels that are compatible with them. According to their August 2017 chart, a number of their engines are compatible with unleaded fuel.

>However, all of their engines require that an oil additive be used when unleaded fuel is used: "When using the unleaded fuels identified in Table 1, Lycoming oil additive P/N LW-16702, or an equivalent finished product such as Aeroshell 15W-50, must be used."*

Even $700 seems expensive for a basic wall charger. I see them as low as £225 (USD $310) here in the UK[1], so expect them to get cheaper as the market develops. Of course, the real cost is in the installation and wiring.

Right, and you don't have to because your continued existence in a country isn't dependent on it. Companies with attitudes like that don't reveal it until it's too late.

Absolutely wrong, toxin has a very specific and concrete meaning ("a harmful substance produced within living cells or organisms") so if you're going to employ that word in this context you better be prepared to justify it by measuring aforementioned toxins and defining exactly what those physical substances are.
Possibly, but that would be misguided. That's not even close to the niche ROS fills. ROS runs on Ubuntu pretty much exclusively, is essentially a mediocre messaging middleware and a mediocre build system, upon which 95% or more of the worlds decent robotics research is conducted. The main research tools, like Gazebo, require gobs of GPU processing that usually preclude virtual machines. So everyone dual boots or goes Ubuntu-native. I'm not saying that's why WSLg is being invented, but if it can produce native-ish GPU performance, that would be an amazing use case.

WSLg had an early demonstration of ROS simulations running, in fact. So I can double down on this being a use case.
Kerosene/JP-8 is great in a jet but it's not going to get you very far in a piston prop.
Pipewire is great, but it is sadly lacking in end-user documentation. With pulseaudio, if something broke or needed tweaking - I had thousands of forum posts to go through. Even the Arch Wiki has a PulseAudio/Troubleshooting section with various configuration suggestions.

For Pipewire, there is no end-user documentation that I've found so far.

On one my setups, and all media stops playing, including videos if I forget to plug in my headphone. Restarting pipewire or plugging in devices after that doesn't seem to help, and I have no idea about the pipewire configuration files to even attempt any changes. I would really appreciate some end user debugging and configuration related documents.
How do you handle libraries that aren’t modularized?
So what's dangerous about any of that?
Yup, conflating “engineered” with lab leak is common. They have different implications of course.
Falcon Heavy actually already has a bunch of launches planned.
Half agreed, but, there are some mitigating things to consider.

One is that native code is really verbose compared to bytecode, and jlink optimizes bytecode to shrink it when it's modularized (collapses the string tables and other things). For tiny hello world apps native-image can produce smaller downloads. It doesn't take long before a jlinked JVM is smaller, because the JIT compiler is kind of "decompressing" native code on the fly. A minimal jlinked JVM can be small-ish, like 20mb or less, and if you compile a custom JVM with configure flags for size it can be even smaller still. The smallest jlinked hello world I managed to get when I tried this was a 7mb download. Not small for a program that only prints something, but, obviously, most of that is one time cost.

Another is that jlink+modules is way easier to use and configure than native-image. Tree shaking breaks stuff all over the place. You end up needing complex config files, agent-based config auto generation and/or lots of runtime testing to ensure you got everything. The point of "reliable configuration" is to avoid all this by building a less aggressive form of tree shaking into the language itself.

Quite a few libraries support modules at this point, but you may not actually have noticed. It depends on your build tool and things.

One thing that's slowed it down is that a lot of widely used libraries that sit at the bottom of the dependency stack aren't actually well maintained. And, modules can only depend on other modules. SLF4J, Guava etc have been slowing things down a lot.

My feeling is that the module system is kind of underrated and waiting for better tooling to be fully exploited. Quite a few parts of Java are like this. Like, it took quite some years for the ecosystem to start using annotation processors to full advantage, and some popular libraries still have it as a pending feature (like PicoCLI).
Look at case fatality rate in Portugal:

> Elixir is quite new (2015)

I suppose you can say that; that’s when it 1.0ed. But Elixir was surprisingly stable pre-1.0; I was writing production Elixir 0.6 code at Spawngrid in 2012!

Really, the 1.0 announcement felt more like a formality than anything; there was no discontinuous switch from “throwing features at the wall” to “considered engineering.” Changes to Elixir have always been considered — and props to Jose Valim for that! :)
The benefits of society from in person education are so much higher than the benefit of music festivals that your comparison is absolutely ridiculous.

The title seems like a stretch since they then go on to say,

"Audio samples were analysed objectively using acoustic analysis for measures of timing, vocal control, and quality. Subtle differences in speech timing, vocal effort, and voice quality may exist between cannabis and control groups, however data remain equivocal."

"After controlling for lifetime alcohol and tobacco use and applying a false discovery rate, only spectral tilt (vocal effort and intensity) differed between groups and appeared to change in line with duration of abstinence from cannabis use"

Basically no acoustical difference, except in perceived effort. You'd get the same intensity out of a group of tired people too, but that oddly doesn't seem to have been compared in the study

As that link says, you do not need to routinely carry your driving licence in the UK even if driving. If stopped, you are required to give your name and address and police have the option of giving you a "presenter", a notice that you must turn up at a police station within 7 days with your licence (with some exceptions eg it's been stolen or with the DVLA for changes to be applied). But in my experience it's unusual to be given one of these.
I am definitely old enough (60 years). Yes it was not standard in industry say in the 90s and I have to admit I was incorrect in this sense. Still it was available in some IDEs. Like Turbo Pascal had it since 1992.

You don't know that.
Also you are trying to defend this guy (from the wikipedia article):
"Environmental historian J. R. McNeill opined that Midgley "had more impact on the atmosphere than any other single organism in Earth's history",[21] and Bill Bryson remarked that Midgley possessed "an instinct for the regrettable that was almost uncanny"."

To put his other inventions under more scrutiny seems like a smart idea, but arguments for authority seem weirdly misplaced in this context.
These methods only work for very small graphs though. Secondary indexing structures are inefficient and don't scale at all regardless of the implementation details, hence why even non-graph systems don't use them at large scales on single machines. The scale threshold where using indexes is worse than the alternatives is low. Direct representation without indexes (like your Neo4j example) are even worse due to the latency introduced for each step by very poor locality. There is no possible version of these methods that will work well; this would have been a solved problem 30 years ago otherwise.

Latency is the performance killer for graph traversals, so locality is everything, and preserving locality across recursive traversals is the critical computer science trick that is often missing. The computational cost of a comparison is irrelevant to the performance of graph traversal.

The way most "pure" graph systems implement graph traversals is unusably slow outside of trivial cases because they mitigate latency poorly. In practical graph systems, common traversals are typically materialized ahead of time so that a graph traversal operation is not required to satisfy queries, which defeats the point in many cases.
I'd like to see a system where, while in office, a representative's income is hard capped at the median income (or some multiplier of median) of the people they represent. This could apply to the president, too.

People avoiding vaccination and thus dying because the FDA hasn’t done full approval is more than a political issue. It’s a real heath issue and exactly the kind of public health problem the FDA is concerned with.

The general public doesn’t understand that expedited approval was a well understood category years before COVID and designed exactly for situations like this. Check the way back machine of your feeling paranoid.

As to the actual science we have vastly more data on COVID vaccinations than most drugs or vaccines the FDA is approving. It really isn’t some ad hoc process it’s well designed procedures and massive quantities of scientific data.

Yes, we are doing client work only. No internal projects (unless absolutely necessary). However, it can be quite a challenge to have an isolated assignment in a two-week client project sprint - especially if someone isn't very familiar with the technology. It can be any of [old stack] .NET Framework MVC, Web Api, Web Forms, Knockout.js and Less to [new stack] Clean Architecture .NET 5 with Blazor and SCSS.
The most effective technology for hard to decarbonize sectors like flight is a carbon tax.

It simultaneusly:

- reduces usage by pricing in the externality and changing consumer preferences

- makes existing alternatives (trains, boats, zoom calls) more competitive

- funds efficiency improvements in current tech

- gives a clear business case for developing new alternative approaches

- can be used to fund fundamental research

- can be used to accelerate uptake of low hanging fruit in other areas, postponing the time that the new solution is required in the hard to decarbonize sector.

Having said that, electric flight looks like it'll generate a lot of interesting stuff, but like in EVs it'll be the short, regular flights that'll switch first.

Uber has a conference with talks online on youtube that has lots of interesting information about this in the context of urban air taxis, e.g. working around noise limitations on city airports, new design possibilities etc.

"It's not meant to solve the problem of having different library versions on the same classpath"

It kind of is - there's a single API call that lets you instantiate a module graph with every module mapped to its own classloader. At that point modules work as you'd expect, and package overlaps only create errors if they're both being imported into a single module (where it'd be ambiguous at the language level).

As the article explains, this isn't on by default only because (supposedly) some popular frameworks would break due to assumptions about how classloaders are used in practice.

And here we hit a sort of weakness in how Java is developed. I've seen this justification given several times over the years for why module isolation isn't on by default. At no point are the frameworks in question named. Which frameworks break when this is on? And why can't I just flip a command line flag to enable or disable it? This compatibility argument is left hanging but no details are given, which is unfortunate - if the frameworks in question were named, maybe they'd fix their assumptions or other people would and classpath conflicts could be fixed.
