That is true, personal experience showed me that what I took as love wasn't seen as such by the other one. Absolute crash ensued. Wisdom makes you pick the people that you feel compatible, or at least make you able to communicate in finer ways to make sure both are aiming at the same ballpark.
Will this be Walmart's opportunity? Walmart is pushing their amazon prime membership equivalent at $99 a year right now.

What Amazon to me today, is an eBay with trustworthy return policy and prime free 2-day shipping. Nothing more and nothing less.

You'd have to take your own responsibility to do research and identify quality product and reasonable price. Don't have time to do research, don't fall for amazon's review, but sign up Costco, that's what Costco does the best, they only select the best quality/close to best price product to list. But because of that, costco's selection is limited.
Given what we now know about the structure of the oxycontin problem in the US that’s profoundly depressing. It’s little to do with religious versus secular philosophy and everything to do with the political structure of society and a lack of action. Most often in the US by professed religious people at every level of the oxy trade and government.
> And then there are winters and heavy rains. And you might have multiple children all of whom need to be taken someplace in the morning. It's just not realistic to bike, unless you somehow have everything nearby.

This depends on the country planning. In at least some European countries, the state guarantees enrollment to kindergardens/schools close to the family residence.

I actually wonder how cities (countries) that don't make such guarantee (and are not car-centered like the US) can actually survive. Assuming that all the families with multiple children use the car during winter in the morning (you've described it as a necessity), that would make the city traffic completely stuck. I don't doubt that this may be the reality in those circumstances.

I remember similar descriptions about cities like Rome, where people use the car comparatively more than other European cities. Indeed, traffic in Rome is hell, and ultimately, it boils down to insufficient city infrastructure/planning (the official take is that they can't build underground lines due to ruins), so even willing citizens have very little wiggle room.

> Isn't this focused on the young, single, and healthy?

No?

Cars are expensive, and they're not accessible: vision or motor issues will ban you from car usage (and rightfully so). They are also a major and active danger to everyone outside a car. Even more so these days as ebikes, motorized wheelchairs, accessibility scooters, and cantas are more available than ever, and public transport has much improved in their allowance for those (except cantas I guess). I can certainly say that around here, 20 years back, the odds you could get a wheelchair (to say nothing of a motorised one) on a bus were essentially nil.

Limiting cars and improving alternatives makes the entire thing less dangerous and more accessible to everyone.

> I can't imagine having multiple children and living with no car. You cannot bike your 3 kids to schools and hospitals during rainy autumn days.

So… are you saying that the Dutch don't have rain or that they don't have children?
How does secular society hold up the theory of evolution as a reason we no longer need religion?

I don’t really see the relation. Some major religions have a creation story that relies on spontaneous creation and found it really important to not consider anything else. But what is secular society proposing exactly?
> One thing that always bugged me about git difftool is it runs your configured diff.tool on each changed file one-by-one. When reviewing code you quite frequently have to toggle back and forth between files, which then becomes very tedious.

Meditation (just focus on your internal state - breath, discomfort, feeling on skin, etc - for 15min a day, one day with eyes closed, one day with open), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (read a workbook and do this by yourself everyday - Mind Over Mood by Padesky, Greenberger, would be my advice), breath work to help yourself quickly in the worst moments (look for Huberman Lab podcast videos on Youtube for things that are scientifically proven), and sleep, sleep, sleep as long as you need

>What kind of checks are you looking for?

A very basic rudementary static code analysis that can check whether this is a valid CF worker configuration.

In a CI configuration like gitlab CI. e.g. Currently I'm using an incredibly hacky setup that loads the function into miniflare locally, hits then endpoint with a curl and checks that it comes back with 200 HTTP.

If yes then assumption is that it's sound & next stage of CI can actually deploy the function.

Rhetoric was studied a loooong time ago.

This thing is simple. You build trust by being right, or you can use it (and perhaps wear it down) by relying on that trust. Sometimes when you use people's trust in you, you can resolve the problem using that trust as a tool, but if the problem happens anyway, you wear down your trust.

A particular kind of organisation suggested that there'd be problems due to lack of fruit pickers, government said no, the organisation turned out to be right and it could be seen in the shops. A similar kind of organisation suggested that there'd be problems with haulage and transport, government said the problems would be manageable and managed, the organisation turned out to be right and it could be seen in the shops. Now a third organisation is saying the same kind of thing, this time about fuel.
> Codename One works as well as Ionic when used by the right developer.

Oh I'm sure it is. Both of them are awfully terrible compared to even React Native/Flutter, let alone native.
Yes, unfortunately it takes much more than just designing a car-free village. You need good infra like public transport, more and smaller schools and kindergartens, etc. But it absolutely exists in Europe.

I live 4 km from work and take a bike most of the year, otherwise it would be the tram or maybe even a walk if time permits. I don't have kids but usually the next elementary school is a 15 minute walk tops, there is one across the street for me actually. Kindergartens are even more ubiquitous. This is a city of ~250k. So obviously, you don't just transform an existing city into this by banning cars. And there are plenty of car-first cities in Europe still. Living in the countryside without a car is certainly very inconvenient.

Also, if the health system in the US is really as bad as it always appears to us, having good coverage of family practitioners might be off the table, and I'd certainly feel uncomfortable with the hospital being an hour away if I had toddlers around, and an ambulance either taking forever to arrive or being prohibitively expensive.
I don't think that's why developers are writing electron apps. It's because it allows for more significant code reuse there's a much deeper hiring pool (IMO)

It's only easier if the complexity of what you write these days remains the same.

I started with Basic on Z80 as a kid, continued with Pascal and C++ on Dos, and these days I'm writing microservices running in Kubernetes Clusters. I did desktop programming on Windows, systems programming on Linux, games, old fashioned MVC Web apps.

I feel that what we deal with today are several order of magnitude more complex and harder than what we had in 80s and early 90s. At that time the most difficult thing was finding information and documentation and maybe trying something for the first time without prior examples. Now we have to fight complexity.

True. It is telling that he identifies his old relative as someone who would be prone to problematic beliefs about an outgroup. It is lost on him that he is adopting similar beliefs about the outgroup his relative represents. It's a stunning lack of self-awareness.
Not intended to be a straw man (and I even think whataboutism would be closer if you were going to try to dismiss it).

> But the assertion was that there has been much greater harm done by the religious _because of their religion_ than harm done by athiets _because of their atheism_.

How about:

"Much greater harm has been done by atheists in their fight against religions than by religious in their fight against atheists" ?

Or even: "Much greater harm has been done by atheists than by religious" ?

I'm purposedly keeping why out of the equation here. It might for the sake of the argument be because we Christians are dumber and not as able to commit atrocities, but the numbers are quite clear: atheists have killed more people than all religions together during the last 1000 years.

And, to be clear: It is not my point to prove that Christianity is right or Christians are better people. There are many atheists I respect a whole lot. And a lot of people claiming to be Christian that I don't respect as much.

My point is no one can collect all the bad stuff done by one side and all the great done by another and compare.

The Netherlands is the place I always point to when people say "no we can't get rid of car-dependent infra in the US". They completely undid the mess of cars and now it is like visiting another planet, where bike lanes often never even intersect car roads!
Tastes are not a fixed thing, and it's not certain they are even real.

In many (most?) cases what we call "tastes" -- and especially distastes -- are a way for us to broadcast our identities to the world.

In an intimate, functioning relationship those broadcasts shouldn't be necessary because we know they are, if not fake, at least a proxy for what we want others to think who we really are. Intimacy is about shedding masks.

In a couple one should be able to appreciate, if not outright enjoy, what the other likes.

(Not to say there aren't limits; but it would be a symptom of an abusive relationship if one would insist they always watch what the other truly hates.)
if they do not notify you automatically, can you ask them? are they obligated in law to disclose these records on demand?

Something tells me they'd simply decide to have an active investigation on everyone from birth to death and simply decline all requests due to "ongoing investigation".
Tbf, that is how they operate in many (most?) other countries, too.

Why would they tell you you're a suspect or under investigation? That's counter productive, you could hide your actions better or plan an escape.
Oh man, I just did the same! I have some code written in the late 90s in common lisp. Most of it ran like a charm, except for the console graphics that used some very obscure library I never found.

I even fixed some bugs :)
Some people go through school life the same way, and that is probably partly the cause. They never really understood the subject, just went through learning about it and accepting it - without deeper understanding(?). This shapes people to basically believing anything - if it comes from a source with enough sheen of authority.
> The central authority has to issue the licenses in the first place.

The US federal government is not at all involved in issuing state drivers' licenses, last I checked. Nor is some international agency at all involved in issuing drivers' licenses within any given country. That's what I'm getting at with "central authority" - specifically, a central authority external to the issuer and/or validator.

> Like, lets say someone just mirrors the database. So there is a web interface, and someone else copied the whole thing down.

Is that person going to continually copy it down? What about data from other agencies? How many people are going to be using your web interface?

What I'm getting at there is that this all seems like an awful lot of work compared to just, you know, including some data in a transaction on any ol' existing blockchain (even Bitcoin or Dogecoin or what have you is good enough for this, let alone something that actually supports NFTs like Ethereum or Cardano) and using any ol' blockchain client/explorer to lookup whatever transaction got printed on the ID card.
This article talked a lot about an experiment's results and how this may affect public policy. The experiment being discussed was about the behaviour of people who apply scepticism to scientific results.

It is ironic then that the article barely gave any account of the experiment itself. Just its findings. Readers are given no opportunity to critically evaluate the experiment.

This uses phantom js and unfortunately it won't work in principle, because Google has a "I'm not a robot" button that can tell you're a robot from mouse movements only, so they can do the same with every search result link.
To add to this, the amount of energy actually being sent out of your screen isn't a linear function of the RGB values. So to find what the mixture will look like you have to convert them to linear values using the formula here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRGB, then take the average, then convert back. So '50% gray' is actually #979797.

This should match the level of grey which the image appears to be if you view it at full resolution. It will only match the zoomed out image if your computer also uses the correct averaging formula.
I've experienced this first-hand.

I'm an author on a fairly big-impact SARS-CoV-2 paper and made the mistake of looking what people were tweeting about it. People are referencing it as evidence that vaccines are weakening the immune system and posting links to the paper to make it appear like a legitimate scientific claim, despite the paper saying nothing of the sort (pretty much the opposite actually).

I don't know if it's malicious and they're relying on the typical anti-vax twitter user not reading or understanding the article, or just lack of scientific-literacy and they've genuinely misinterpreted it.
> You think Taiwan is any different than us? They're ahead of us, and if they're fucking this up, we're doing it ten-fold.

Well, I'm a resident of Taiwan and while I think there are many wonderful things about the country, IT is not one of them and not sure how you came to the conclusion that Taiwan is "ahead of us" (assuming you're American or European).

Everything related to tech here feels like it's from the late 1990s. Web applications here generally have horrible UIs and are buggy, sometimes to the point of being basically unusable.

It's not just the front end either. See: all of the problems caused by a change to the ARC (alien resident certificate) ID numbers.

This change was itself caused by problems created by the existing/old system.
I agree with your summary, but predictions are very hard (especially about the future).

Except for the perpetual no-code and DSL memes, whether git would dominate as much as it did was pretty much up in the air in 2012. Same with functional languages. In 2012 the mainstream was what, Java 1.6? ML/Haskell was like a breath of fresh air, it's hard to understate how pure OOP a la early Java sucks. The fact that some functional features would become mainstream wasn't a given back then, if anything, that is the surprising turn of events.

> But if there isn’t, these experiments should progress as they could ultimately reduce mortality.

Another aspect that is important but easy to miss - deaths caused by an autonomous vehicle are learning experiences - once a couple have happened there will be an engineering response and they will stop happening.

Compare that to ordinary drivers, where each death is just a pointless waste of a life. There is an argument in favour of putting these cars on the road even if they were more dangerous than humans. The faster we push through the painful learning experience the sooner the payoffs of superhuman driving will start being felt in the death statistics.
It's also as good as Flutter. It's a matter of developer skill. Not the tool. Flutter has better default look and feel, that's about it. React native isn't a write once run anywhere tool. As a result it has a lot of different problems which imo make it way worse than all of the above.

Those things would have been done in the name of something else too. Religions here is just a pretext.

Killing the american natives, the tutsi, the jews or the cambodgian intellectuals intellectuals were among the worst things humanity have ever done, and the religion of the perpetrators had nothing to do with it.

Terrible humans will use any rationalization to do terrible things.

Most muslim women in my country don't wear a hijab. However, men beating their wifes are from all kind of religious and non religious backgounds.

I now believe that religion is a reflect of the state of your society, not the other way around. People are racist, homophobic, intolerant, entitled, misogynist, and then, they sometimes use religion to justify that.
I just wrote miles to blend in :)

But about Vilnius - public pre-schools in Vilnius are well placed, but they have huge waiting lines. If you want to get one in time realistically you would have to register your child before his/her birth, which is of course impossible. So most people join the line after birth and when the child reaches 2 years old they take them to a private one, until they reach their place in line and can transfer.

But let's say you get a place for your children 1-1.5 km away and you have a job that takes 30 minutes to reach by car (which in the morning is quite optimistic due to traffic). So to take children and go to work for yourself would take, say, 40 minutes.

One alternative to cars - biking. Only possible in summer days and warm autumn/winter days, and when it's not raining. So maybe 50% of the year. So the bike would take you probably 1.5 hours. Add this time for also going back and its 2 additional hours lost per day, and only on those good sunny days.

Another alternative is a bus. In non-corona times some busses in Vilnius are so crowded that you cannot get in and have to wait for another one. Nobody with young kids even tries to get there. But assume you live in one of less crowded places. Then the question is - how far the bus stop is from your house, how far the bus stop is from the kindergarten, and how far it is from your place of work. And how many different busses you will have to take in order to reach everything, and the waiting and travel times between transfers. So this scenario depends on luck.

That's just how I see it from my perspective here in Vilnius. A big number of families here have 2 cars. For some reason I imagine most bigger US cites would only be worse in that regard.
They're just using a flat prior, which is maybe inappropriate.
That's similar to the process used to generate https://allrgb.com/order-from-chaos except that the pixels used in that algorithm weren't chosen entirely at random, and they sometimes randomly allow a swap even when it increases the difference, in order to escape from local optima ('simulated annealing').
Most destruction in Battlefield games is pre-baked. For smaller stuff, the artists only specify how as segment of wall is supposed to break up. For larger stuff, like toppling skyscrapers, it's entirely a canned animation.
