Turns out nearly all mainstream media everywhere in the West are more or less socially progressive if not left-wing; generally capitalist, pro-free-market (although sometimes affecting a vaguely socialist façade[0]); and effectively if not avowedly neo-conservative w.r.t. to foreign relations.

This also happens to be the dominant ideology of American elites and the editorial policy of the NYT.

so what is the alternative? Assuming they need some sort of proof of their claim to seek refugee status, they have to be held somewhere, and presumably they are held because there is a long queue of people waiting for hearing who came before them.

By intentionally conflating the detention camp with a concentration camp, you are seeking parallels with things such as forced detention and murder akin to what Nazis did.

> under harsh conditions

Define harsh conditions. This was the same tactic used by US media during Trump presidency when the camps where actually running for years under the same conditions with billions of dollars of funding. And somehow you don’t hear about these things anymore even though the same camps practically exist under the same conditions.
Not to say many refugees/economic migrants essentially use cartels and risk their lives, being in detention camps is least of their worry and they know they will be in detention camps.
Try to convince those "Data Scientists" to learn Julia/Rust or spend another ten years for learning how to write non-crashy C++ then.

Also, IMO Python is the right tool for glueing optimized C++ implementation of various linalg algos together. And this is exactly how we use Python. And we still have to workaround GIL. Yes, it is that bad.

<rant>
Glue codes could be slow, but they must scale. They should not unnecessarily contend for a stupid lock. GIL is really a scalability bug and I do acknowledge it is a hard-to-fix one due to the world's legacy codebases depends on it. However when someone applies an absurd amount of computer science (the design OP posted is literally based on state-of-the-art PL research), you should at least be sincerely curious why people are being so serious about it.

This kind of situation comes often in OSS, specially in C++ project and I wouldn't be surprised if OMW had a lot of PR like this.

With this kind of PR, the maintainer have to go into each line and try to understand what the point because the original author didn't explain that much + it's C++ template and not everyone like that.

This is not a excuse to be arsh or anything, another option would have been to put a tag "need clarification" and let the PR in a hole and force the author to motivates its modifications.

> Merging results of different kinds: e.g. Google showing results from Maps, News etc.

Google does have an UX bug in its search/map product.

Let's say I google for "kuka deutschland". In my case, the first result is a link to KUKA, with sublinks to different sections of their website.

Next there's a map with A-, B-, C-markers, and below them fields with A: KUKA Deutschland GmbH [other info, website, route] B: KUKA Systems GmbH [...] and so on.

If I now click on A: KUKA Deutschland GmbH or on the map, then the map opens completely, with a left sidebar containing more related places, a popup with the currently selected item open which contains plenty-full information about the marker on the map.

The issue is that this is not a Google Maps map, it is not hosted under maps.google.com, but any normal person would expect to be able to interact with this map as if it were a normal map: have a button for satellite imagery, 3d-view and all of this, the ability have the normal Google Maps sidebar at my disposal. But this does no exists.

The worst thing about this view is that there is no link to Google Maps which would open that same view in Google Maps.

I think the idea is to be able to trade/sell/buy game assets on 3rd party sites. There becomes a distinction between ownership and control. A person could "sell" ownership of an item though they still control it by offering a contract. This contract would be tied to the life of the item and would be shown to any possible in-game player that wanted to take control of the game asset.

> It doesn't make sense to ban short-term rentals but continue to build hotels and run advertising campaigns promoting tourism to Amsterdam

Why doesn't it? Why should tourists get to say in the same type of places as locals, often at the expense of locals? To me, it makes perfect sense to ban short-term rentals but still let tourists stay in hotels and places meant for them, without taking up real estate that can be used for residences.
I'm a long time linux user.

One of the things I don't like about ubuntu is their updater stuff. I want to apt-get something, but can't because apparently ubuntu is updating stuff in the background...

Or sometimes these a dumb "system has detected a problem, send report?" dialog that pops up all the time.

PopOS experience is much better. I get an OS notification about available updates, and with two clicks I can decide to install them and so far, it hasn't harassed me with dumb pop-ups.

It's things like these where I find ubuntu very unpolished at times. And as I get older, I just want things to work and get out of my way.

If most blockchains (perhaps excluding Bitcoin) moved to Proof Of Stake and cut their energy expedinture to cumulatively use less than 200000 MWh per year, would you consider using them?

AFAIK, Visa uses up to 205555 MWh per year.

Manifold is an amazing piece of technology.

It grew out of the "open type system" of Gosu:

https://guidewiredevelopment.wordpress.com/2010/11/18/gosus-...

The open type system was a simple API for adding new types to Gosu, allowing you to surface non-native types in a type safe way. A really nice way to do metaprogramming for a statically typed languge.

Unfortunately Gosu never really went anywhere as an open source langauge, and Scott moved on to exploring javac plugins that let you accomplish the same thing in java.

Amazing stuff.
> There is not a big tourist tax here

Seriously? Numbers I just googled show like 10-20 million tourists vs a metro population of 2.5 million and you guys have some of the highest taxes in the world? Why are you taxing yourself so much when you can tax the tourists because it is pretty much the opposite in most tourist places in the US?
Wow this paper is a joke. I see multiple conclusions drawn from insignificant statistical tests (if you can’t reject the null you can only say “i can’t see it”, not “its not there”). That alone should be enough to stop reading. There appears to be other elementary mistakes made as well.

Also, you can’t draw conclusions about vaccination and covid prevalence from country level data. Different countries report their statistics differently, the prevalence of covid depends on attitudes to testing which varies at the local scale let alone at the scale of countries. Do you think poor people want to get tested when they have to self isolate? A country’s wealth matters a lot for measurements of covid prevalence. As far as I can tell there’s no effort to account for this bias, and even if there was, their data is so noisy it’s all non-significant and thus useless anyway.

EDIT: This is bad science and it might be better if it wasn’t on HN.
I'll give it a watch and will summarize, because while i'm not always on board with the Rust hype (and therefore want to know more, to help eliminate my biases, one way or the other).

> This report says that's so: The number of infections double in both countries.

Not even that. It says the number of infections is roughly equally likely to increase in both places, but they don't say anything about the magnitude of the increase.
Personally I like the approach of Haskell: no overloading of any functions whatsoever (except in a restricted way through typeclasses), but you can define new operators yourself. That allows the certainty which comes with the absence of overloading, but also the concision which comes with using operators rather than functions. (Not that concision is everything, mind you; code gets difficult to read if there are too many custom functions. But at least the option is there.)

> There are still lots of boars in southern Germany that are far above the official threshold for consumption (which is quite high already), like, almost glow-in-the-dark.

Citation needed. A wild boar doesn't live more than 10-15 years, so that's three generations removed from 1986. Bioaccumulation doesn't work like that. And glow-in-the-dark is pure nonsense obviously.

The "atomkraft nine donkey" movement has a lot of similar horror stories, few of which have a factual basis. They even made their bad fiction stories about the dangers of nuclear powerplants compulsory reading for grade school kids. No wonder a good chunk of otherwise level headed Germans are brain washed with these lies.
The entire mainstream narrative and the tactics being adopted to increase vaccinations don't account for age groups either. If you look at the mainstream media, all the comparisons are based on total vaccination rate regardless of age - I know the UK government has been getting a lot of stick for "falling behind" Europe in vaccinations due to lower vaccination rates which are mostly concentrated in younger age groups. A lot of the vaccine mandates primarily target working-age people who generally aren't the highest priority in terms of age. And there's been a huge push to target under-16s for vaccination even though it's dubious that they benefit from it at all, supposedly because it'll stop them from spreading it - we'd expect that to show up in the increase in Covid-19 for sure.

Are you saying a customer who came from a search engine should go back to it when in need of searching another product on your site?

It's such a bad practice to let the users leave for whatever reason.

Sites are putting every effort not to leave their site and this is anti pattern.

Also I'd think the site doesn't even enough budget to put a search function and the business or the manager has some problem.
Regex is just a prominent example of a certain pattern. Depending on work and style, one often has functions which return something, on which in case of a non-empty result you want to do something more. Walrus can shrink the code in data-intensive code quite well from my experience.

Crackdown on capitalists didn't start recently. It's been going on for a long time, and often just amounts to a war among CCP factions, as invariably different guanxi networks are allied with different party bigwigs.

Prior to Deng's reforms, Mao was persecuting anyone with a hint of capitalist influence, often seizing family wealth and sending them for re-education to work in the countryside.

I don't buy this decadence angle, this seems like an argument from someone with a religious axe to grind. The reality is, China has serious systemic economic problems built up from mismanagement and corruption. They've got a population of 400 million migrant workers who used to make decent money with the construction boom, but now face an apocalypse as the real estate market may implode, many of them will resort to being delivery drivers, etc. They've got a looming demographic timebomb, as the one child policy is going to make China end up with a significantly older population than their competitors -- all of which will heavily impact surplus productivity need to take care of them. Then there's debt, China's "on the books" debt-to-GDP is 270% but no one knows the real figure. Then there's the education crisis, as China has been graduating far more advance degree candidates than they need, which has lead to high unemployment among college graduates, and the absurdity of people with masters degrees working on the assembly line in factories. There's also a huge "tofu-dreg" construction debt as a lot of buildings and infrastructure were built by contractors who scammed away money and used substandard materials. Who knows how much it will cost to fix this stuff.

Xi Jinping is aware of all of these looming crises, and so all of the recent control mechanisms are essentially an attempt at self protection for the CCP to prevent blame, because when the shit hits the fan, they want to write the story that the public reads about who is really at fault for bank failures, and real estate failures, etc. It'll be a nationalist populist -- fascist story that lays the blame on capitalists, international actors, anyone but party corruption and mismanagement.

Like I said, if Hg really shines in what it does, there is no reason why it would’ve not become a viable alternative.

Git has its pros and cons like Hg but it managed to outshine whatever benefits hg offered.

Yes bitbucket and Github are related because, bitbucket was one of the main companies to offer it, which sucked, in turn dropped Hg adoption.

How many people do you think work on Linux kernel, for it to drive git adoption?
There are 10000x more php developers than Linux kernel developers. If Hg was able to entice them, it would’ve been different may be, which it couldn’t.

> Sweden on the whole is very anti small private landlords and have lots of laws making it basically impossible to make money by buying a few flats and renting them out, but that is also a pretty uniquely Swedish take on the property market.

This is an extremely idealized version of the real situation - at least in Stockholm. Here, the only real cap on the number of apartments being bought for (often illegal) hire, is the spiralling cost of real estate. Many of my colleagues rent their apartments on the black market - which is often the only way to get a home within the city.

Official rental apartments generally have a waiting-list of around 20 years within the city-limits, and even needing to commute from far out in the suburbs a newly-arrived person will probably need to rent on the black-market. This is a well-known and documented situation.

Airbnb has definitely made the situation much worse in Stockholm - the supposed '3600' apartments are actually far greater in number, as can be seen if one switches off location-permissions in your browser, and take a look at available rentals in the area.

Yes questionable, but if they had documented it or even left it unencrypted that would have made it trivial to spoof the contents, which would defeat the apparent purpose of the fingerprint. Most of the benefits of this thing would have been rendered useless.

For example. Not intended to be exhaustive.

It's still is an important insight though. The vaccines do not lead to herd immunity.

There isn't a viable herd immunity strategy yet, which implies very young, very old and immuno compromised individuals are still at risk.

It also means 'encouraging' people to take the vaccine won't help, except to keep those people out of the ICU, and if that's the intent it seems more 'freedomy' to me to just not treat unvaccinated covid patients when it peaks.

Because herd immunity is the argument used to defend mandatory vaccinations, and it appears to be a false argument.
