A longer way of saying the same thing might be:

The 2nd argument is a benefit only to the US so not relevant to outsiders deciding whether they're "playing fair".

Arguably this applies to the first as well, or at best only US allies.

And the third... Again kind of self interest - one rule for your own citizens and another for everyone else's.

IMO there are two ways to view this: the US acts in its own interests, everyone else does too, fine.
It's only hypocritical if the US expects a higher standard from others, "rules based international order" etc, but seeks to exempt itself -

edit: in which case the world just sticks with the previous view, which, hey, every other species does too.

Cool post! Thanks for submitting. I would never in a million years have thought to try out a polynomial fit for something like this. Unsurprisingly, it was slower, but still cool to even see you thinking that way at all.
idk if iframe limits what the host site can read from the embedded site, but it could add more security because the host site can’t get your bank data.

As far as getting users accustomed to entering data in iframes, the average user won’t be able to tell what part of a site is iframe or not. And idk how much of a difference it makes if you can tell - any random site you enter your data could potentially steal it.

Either erroneous conclusion or made in bad faith. The despotic regimes (like Jordan, Russia, Kenya, and many others) are some of the biggest launderers, according to the Pandora Papers!

It's buffered, but buffers fill up. I wrote a small program [1] that calls os.Stdout.Write to write one byte, increments a counter by the number of bytes written, and records the time of the last write. Another thread then prints the byte count and the time since the last time Write() returned every second. Running "that program | sleep infinity" yields a buffer size of 65536 and writes stop returning after the first millisecond or so of program runtime. And that makes sense; nothing is reading the output of the program, and it is written to produce an infinite stream of bytes. There is no buffer you can allocate that stores an infinite number of bytes, so it has to block or abort.

[1] https://gist.github.com/jrockway/a5d96151e1c69407f491988df70...

Going back to the original context of the comment, we're calling some programmer at Microsoft an amateur because their progress bar blocks progress of the application. And indeed, that design could be improved (sample the progress whenever the terminal can accept however many bytes the progress bar takes to render), but it's a very common mistake. Any program that calls printf will eventually run into this problem. A fixed-length buffer smooths over quirks, but if your terminal can render 1 million characters per second and your program produces 1 million and 1 characters per second of log output, then there is no way your program can ever complete. You don't notice because programs don't output much information, terminals are fast, and 65536 is a good default. But in theory, your program suffers from the same bug as Microsoft's program. So it's pretty unfair to call them amateurs, unless the Linux kernel, GNU coreutils, etc. are all also written by amateur programmers. What the grandparent meant to say is "I've never noticed having made this mistake before" and nothing more.

This is something that programmers need to think about pretty much every time they do IO. Buffer, drop, or slow down. printf picks "buffer, then slow down", writing to syslog over UDP picks "drop", but what you really want depends on your application, and it is something that you have to explicitly think about.
I was disappointed that this is just a visual hack and not the equivalent of that 3.5mm to cassette adapter.

While what you say is true, some conquests were considerably more disastrous than others.

Compare the impacts of the conquest of the Americas by Europeans and the conquest of Central Asia/Middle East by the Mongols vs the European conquest of Egypt. The conquest of Egypt, while colonialism, seems almost benign in comparison to the destruction brought about the former two examples.

That's my question. Do they "allow" it? Probably not. Is it possible for it to happen? Not sure.

The high upfront learning curve for 3D printing is somewhat of a barrier to DIY.

However Shapeways/Thingiverse/etc will print from a large library of models and ship it.

I suspect the big issue is the custom fitting.

Assuming a standardised approach to custom fitting exists then standard models could be made available for purchase without insane amounts of effort.

The fact someone is making prosthetics out of lego strongly suggests that such a standardised approach exists.

Dear Telephone Sales Woman
> You are conflating unsafe with unknown.

No, I am not. I am using the same definition of "safe" as doctors have for pregnant women for several generations, at least 60 years. Untested on pregnant women == unsafe for pregnant women and their babies. Period.

Of course, it's possible that the covid vaccines are safe for pregnant women and their babies. It's also possible that all the various pharmaceuticals that women are told not to take are safe too! The risk is unknown, as you state, but where you're mistaken is that the precautionary principle for pregnant women is taken much more extremely, for good reason. So to medical doctors, unknown is equivalent to unsafe, for pregnant women.

Sure, CDC is studying the effects now--they're studying it unethically on human experimental subjects in the general population, who have been mislead into thinking that the vaccines are safe for pregnant women--a total lie.

If you look at the itch.io section there are a lot of games made with this engine.

I feel like I usually don't have energy for games anymore. But more than that, there are an effectively infinite number of games or media to select from. It's a bit frustrating that I am not able to explore many of them.

I mean I might spend a couple of minutes with a game once in awhile and then decide to move on. But I think many of them would be really interesting if I could take the time for a deep dive.

The sheer volume of creative content produced is amazing. I think there are many worthy efforts that get overlooked.

Some context… due to nursing shortages, many places are giving great bonuses and pay rates to new people and temporary help. Those who stay aren’t being compensated the same. This is leading to a lot of people changing jobs. Sometimes to work down the street. There is far more demand for nurses than there is supply.

He's the longest-tenured developer at the company by several years (and many others have come and gone in the meantime.) He knows he has a good thing going and would have to shape up if he went anywhere else. I'm feeling like a failure trying to influence him, but we finally have technically engaged management, which he's never had before, so maybe the clock is ticking for him.
We have a computer (laptop) from 2011 - Lenovo w520, with 4 core i7 (second gen) and 16GB ram, full hd IPS screen, and factory SSD, and dedicated Nvidia Quadro with 2GB graphic ram. Boy this computer still rocks, and the battery still lasts 2-3 hours.

Oh yeah, it might very well be the case for 10 "all new" nuclear plants

The issue is that because as I mentioned above, you have a cursed trifecta, you can't have reactors be "safe", "reasonably priced" and "without schedule overruns" at the same time because all of these are inherently conflicting interests such as the Westinghouse/Toshiba collapse has shown, just yesterday there was a thread here in HackerNews of all the corruption inherent to the project, how even when they knew that it was impossible to meet deadlines they still kept saying that they would do it, because of highly profitable tax rebates linked to the run-up to the accorded milestones

Only "happy" cases where several reactors have been built on schedule might be France, or right now in China, but both of these where done from a government "national defense" perspective, not from anywhere near to be free-market schemes, the UK I believe also recently canceled a sets of Nuclear reactors again, for safety concerns after Fukushima which led to slight re-designs and therefore schedule and cost overruns

It would be neat if this werent the case, but here we are, and closing ones ears and eyes wont make these structural problems go away either
Awful title.

They're saying stimulus money must be used to secure out of state hires because they don't have enough nurses in state.

Hiring from the existing pool doesn't create a net improvement on the total nurses in state so they're saying you can't be hired with this money if you currently or recently worked for hospitals in state.

Nothing to do with banning quitting.

The risk of a one-man operation in this case is pretty clear.

If the one dude running this gets hit by a bus, your dev environment vanishes and is useless, all data lost.

If you instead use LightSail, it's clearly better. You'd need quite a few Amazon employees to be on the same bus before a small accident would result in LightSail vanishing and becoming useless.

With both this, and hand-rolled stuff on LightSail, if you get hit by a bus yourself, of course the environment is useless, but that's an identical risk for both of them.
"Echo chamber" is meaningless nonsense at this point. That's just a phrase people throw out to indicate displeasure with any conversation that doesn't cater to their particular biases. It's basically become another "thought terminating cliche"[1].

This is vague. What are you saying? Please cite sources for whatever position you’re presenting (I’m not trying to be argumentative; truly can’t tell).
According to Indeed, the average wage for an RN in Texas is $35.82. The new contracts pay $100/hr and $150/hr for overtime.

According to the staffing agency you have to have not been employed by a hospital in Texas for the last 30 days. for an almost 3x wage bump I'd be shocked if some nurses didn't decide to sit on the sidelines for a month.

> Aren't there already laws that grant breaks during work?

Last I looked (when working a 24/7 single person operations desk in California), you could just pay extra hours instead of having a 'mandated' break. For that role, having a legal break wasn't really feasible for most of the shifts. How are you going to get someone to cover for 30 minutes only at 4 am in the middle of the graveyard shift?

Anyway, that wasn't too bad, I did 4 pm to midnight and noon to midnight shifts, and it was OK to wander out for a few minutes to pick up takeout and eat at the desk. Lots of waiting around looking at the screen that stayed green most of the time. (Restart daemons when things turned red) Generally incidents only happened while developers were in the office, and there was one time the datacenter called to report a power outage, but it turned out it was just the breaker on the lighting circuit.

Interesting approach with the polynomials! I wonder whether the performance of that one can be improved – while the coefficients aren’t integer, they become integer when multiplied by 3. So I wonder whether evaluating a whole-coefficient polynomial (using Horner’s scheme) and dividing by 3 at the end (which the compiler might optimize to a multiplication) might provide a speed boost:

unsigned char poly_encode_2(const unsigned char dibit) {
return (27 + x * (14 + x * (-18 + x * 7))) / 3;
}

Haven’t measured.
Very little, I think. They are very different.
