A very important fallacy to remember is the just world hypothesis.

A thriving civilization brought democracy, the republic and free speech which allowed many improvements in society.

But civilization has improved so much, and religion has really taught us the world should be fair, we still have good vs evil ingrained in our thought system.

Evil is completely natural, so you can't bring progress if people refuse to investigate where there's evil.

When people are really able to understand the world is unfair by definition, and that fairness is the exception and not the rule, everything becomes much easier.
It's not about whether the individual "needs" the vaccines, but rather about rules a society can live by.

And those who argue the most don't really argue about "they don't need the vaccine", but rather assume the vaccine is much bigger risk or damage than is at all reasonable. And that, yes, puts you very close to the "anti-vaxx" bubble.

> Used to see many flaws in the language (things like `.append` changing the object, returning `None` instead of creating a copy and returning that)

I think it's pretty off-base to call this a "flaw". Immutable structures have their place and can be very helpful where appropriate, but making its core primitives work this way is far outside the scope or the philosophy of Python. If you want otherwise, you're really wanting an entirely different language. And there's nothing wrong with that! But I think it would be a "flaw" for Python to make these operations immutable, even though I love immutability personally.
This is very different from protesting Vietnam war or anything else that is specific. What we are seeing is a pure manifestation and exercise of power.

Reading this article, it sounds like a description of midtown common in so many central and eastern Canadian cities, typically surrounding the downtown core. Mixed density zones. Low rises and storefront retail and detached houses. Cities everywhere have such a zone of course, but it seems tiny in proportion in most US cities.

Cities in Canada as a condequence tend to be much denser even though most have, like in the USA, the majority of residential land zoned as detached single home suburban.

As I understand it, the pattern is actually following the original plans of the early 20th century suburbs built around the cores, before widespread proliferation of the car. Such communities were originally built densely, with the assumption of walking to the rail station, and retail, and work mixed in, along with factories, etc. Those have generally become densified further while retaining a more suburban character.

I'm not sure why this is practically vestigial in many parts of the USA. Canadian urban planners weren't quite as car happy after the 60s, perhaps.
> From the US perspective, why would they go out of their way to call Taiwan its own country when neither government, on either side of the Strait, was interested in that?

:) I feel like this the same sort of thinking as tech debt. Names? Who cares! Everyone knows what the situation is on the ground.

In my view, norms have to be actively upheld, even especially if you are on "Team 'rule of law'". If the thing is a state, call it a state dammit! I like this argument because it doesn't rely on "well, you gotta foresee China becoming strong and stuff". No, you don't, just have a principle that de jure and de facto should deviate as little as possible.

I stand by my original analysis that doesn't matter what the KMT thinks, because RoC effectively a client state of the US at the time, with no TSMC to get more leverage, and also that the PRC should be happy enough to get its UN seat. If we wanted to, we could have made this happen, but we are sloppy and we didn't try.
Thanks for the feedback, great points. We're going to put a strong focus on our CI offering (both from a feature and pricing point of view) over the next couple of weeks/months.

For example, we're working on a new feature that will make it easy to snapshot the state of the LocalStack instance during and after each CI run, making the state "browsable" in the UI, and providing advanced insights and analytics into how the application stack and tests evolved over time.

We're also looking into alternative options for pricing - your point is well taken and will be considered for our roadmap. We definitely want to encourage testing frequently and on every commit - but I'd like to emphasize that our current CI offering is just a starting point, with lots more exciting features to come soon.. Thanks!

> Just stop using browser extensions.

> The browser is the modern operating system...

This is kind of like advocating to only use vendor-provided software on your actual operating system because any third party software might be insecure (ignoring the fact that the OS itself may be as well). Some people might be able to do that but the overwhelming majority of people would not find that tenable, so suggesting that one just not is neither productive nor realistic.
Atlas Shrugged is a reaction to the failures of central planning in the USSR. In doing so, it repeats many of the mistakes, with a different cast and crew.

The first to get rich then pull up the ladder behind them to move into a ruling class. The tech revolution managed to let some new players into that class, otherwise nothing has changed.

If every Billionaire left the country to go live in Maui, a new bunch would fill their positions at the top of the food chain almost instantly.

Atlas Shrugged is a fairy tale the rich use to maintain the illusion that the outcome of their luck is actually a result of their special value in the world.

I was rate limited.

You brought up timeframe (and many other conditions) as a rebuttal to the author. I'm just pointing out that you can't be sure that any of those considerations even entered the minds of MIT's admins. I hope we can at least agree that this opaqueness is an issue and could inspire future, less-careful censors.

You'd find that judging an individual's immunity by a vague notion of prior infection with Covid-19 is probably riskier than the vaccine.

Comirnaty had hundreds of millions of doses administered so far, and maybe - maybe - one woman died of myocarditis. This is nothing to potentially hundreds of thousands of prevented fatalities, much less the unpleasant to severe bouts of Covid-19.

I've worked for a couple single founder businesses (not with OP though). I'll never do it again. I think it's much healthier when they have someone on equal footing that can tell them when they're being unreasonable and going in the wrong direction. As a single founder with all the control, it's too easy to just dismiss concerns that employees raise. I guess that's where the arrogance comes from. Absolute power corrupts and all that...
> Right now, the mob can crush anyone they feel like crushing with no consequences.

Not quite. Right now the mob can crush anyone if that "anyone" is at the mercy of an institution that will allow them to be crushed.

Imagine this exact same situation, except that MIT tells the Twitter mob to get lost. What would happen? The Twitter mob would howl for a couple of weeks, and then their attention would turn elsewhere. If nobody at MIT blinks, then the mob can't crush anybody.

Wow. That makes it sound like even a perfectly deterministic calculation cannot be compared across machines. Some will be good at some, some good at others, and whether one machine is overall better than another depends on their intended uses.

I feel a lot of the problem here is that someone make the FooLibrary that does some file system call and sometimes throws some IOError. Later on a new backend goes over the network and it throws a NetworkError now too.

This is a leaked abstraction. These are both a kind of FooError. If you’re using a strong enough type system that cares about these things, you should be using it to invest in that sort of strong encapsulation, too. Each API layer should be a translation layer.

Needless to say, this is a fair bit of work, and takes a fair amount of rigor, so it usually won’t happen.
Agreed. JavaScript's Array.sort is an example of this. Most of JavaScript's other array methods return a new array and people get used to chaining them, but sort mutates the array and also returns a reference to it. You can actually get pretty far before being bitten by this so long as you're sorting already-copied arrays. But then one day you hit a bizarre bug caused by behavior that's been sneaking past your radar the whole time.
So, if the landscaping company can't operate a portable generator in their truck bed, how are they supposed to charge all the batteries they need on the job?
DOM operations are just a few common methods such as: appendChild, removeChild, setAttribute, getAttribute, removeAttribute, createElement, createTextNode. These were slow when injecting massive quantities of new nodes more than 12 years ago. Now they are fast.

If you are that concerned with speed then just produce everything in a document fragment and when ready inject the document fragment into the document. Bottleneck bypassed. React won't solve for that bottleneck because it is still JavaScript beholden to the DOM just the same.

> Why would you not just print a negative directly - as indeed she later does? Is it because she considers the concave surface difficult to sand smooth?

I think the problem with sanding a mold is that it would be very hard to sand both halves equally, so you'd end up with a step where the two halves meet.

Using the wax to smooth the mold when the two halves are already stuck together is quite ingenious, as the wax will also smooth the part where the halves meet.
I think linters are really effective to figure out such issues in professional code.

For students for example, I'll have to agree. Maybe having a flag or environment variable that teachers can set up for it would be a nice idea. You should start a thread on the python-ideas mailing list about this, and it might get somewhere :)
I really made a mistake making my first sentence "did the KMT really?..." Yes, they did, I know that. KMT have always mostly been shitheads.

I’ve used localstack to mock things like Dynamo, S3 and Step Functions for dev/integration testing of lambdas built with SAM with great results. I actually didn’t know that SAM stubbed those out by default and haven’t used it for a while, but I found that if you point your AWS library at localstack:4566 then it’ll run it all against localstack correctly.

I think he means "Product Market Fit"?
In modern Greek we also use a lot of composite words with the word "καιρός" in them, so all that is actually still "alive" in these. For example, we translate "opportunity" as "ευκαιρία", which is a female noun. Then there is the more negatively loaded male noun "καιροσκόπος" for the word "opportunist". Or "πολυκαιρισμένος" for "timeworn", the adjective "καίριος" for "well-timed" or "crucial" depending on context, and more.

The same holds for other "loaded" ancient Greek words.

>>Further, the purchase are done with US Fed reserves, which are not "real" money as they do not enter the economy and simply sit in the accounts that institutions have at the Fed.

I am really tried of this lie being repeated over and over again, the money enters the economy at the point in which the Federal Government spends the money it gets from selling the debt. The Federal Reserve can not buy US Debt and claim that money never enters the economy because the US FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SPENDS THE MONEY.

Sure the Fed itself does not spend it, but just because it it 2 or 3 transactions removed does not change the fact that the money did enter the economy

Also the fact that the fed buys up the debt from "the public" is a bit of hand wave as well, knowing the fed will buy up any debt they obtain from the treasury these straw purchasers use this assurance to eliminate their risk and further fleece the public, if the fed stopped buying up this debt as soon as it was sold to the "public" the public would stop buying it.

I’ve tried more than once to learn Java I find it very confusing. This website resolves one of the issues. The other issue I have is that most Java tutorials use IntelliJ, or some other IDE, which makes it difficult to figure out what a non IDE workflow actually looks like, some managing dependencies is confusing.

I think one of the biggest mysteries (in my mind anyway), is how Mersenne found his original list of primes. Yes, some were shown to be incorrect and some he missed...but him finding the amount that he did still seems amazing to me, and I don't believe this has ever been explained.

It seems to me like he had a private method for calculating primes (that was imperfect, sure, but also astounding for being developed in the 17th century).

To me it feels like when this is brought up, modern day mathematicians are too quick to dismiss him based on the incorrect numbers/the missed primes, and ignore the many correct ones and the question of _how_ he managed to find them. That's what I would like to know, is his method.

'heavily developed' is the operative consideration as this means upgrading (not merely updating) your Java installations every 6 months.
Then use Kotlin, and take advantage of the jvm and the ecosystem, and avoid basically all the stuff you listed about the java language.

"no real reason" is a stupid take. I could list multiple, but a big one is that there are hundred java developers for each dotnet developer in my city. The java env is well tested and well understood, if anything one should argue why not use it instead of a hip and trendy alternative.
