Many Python developers and users were burned when the Python project decided to set fire to billions of lines of code.

I have zero trust in Python as far as code longevity is concerned.
Well thank you for the time in writing that, it seems I definitely made a lot of factual mistakes. I had no idea California was now a net receiver of federal money x) But I guess it makes sense due to the enormous debt that the federal government continues to rack up.

But my points regarding bonds is that the states and municipalities do emit bonds, yes, but not only their bonds. As you state, the majority of cash is raised at a federal level with treasury bonds. In fact, one of the Eurobonds proposals was that states use European bonds up to some threshold (60% debt-to-gdp ratio level was proposed), and have to rely on national bonds to cover the rest. This is at once a mechanism of consolidation, allowing weaker states to piggy-back off the bloc's interest rates, BUT at the same an incentive for fiscal discipline, as after 60% your debt has to be financed through more expensive national bonds.

"Grand Parent" to refer to a post two levels up, though sometimes it's used contextually to mean whatever-post-that-started-off-this-thread (vs. "OP" or "Original Post(er)" for the top-level post).
I'm referring to what you commonly use, but also I'm talking about the part of the standard library that involves more basic operations like creating collections, iterating them, defining and requiring modules, creating objects, looping, destructuring, literals, conditionals, data types, polymorphism, error handling, etc.

As opposed to say learning the standard library relating to MIDI access, or file IO, or other specialized things that in theory could be a library and aren't really core.

It might sound a little like syntax, but because Lisps have such a lean syntax, there's a lot of the fundamental constructs that are part of the standard library and they are more what I'm referring too.

For example you'll have things like: car, cdr, append, mapcar, some, every, symbols, keywords, loop, intern, quote, format, butlast, intersection, union, multiple-value-bind, apply, funcall, =, eq, eql, if, unless, typecase, cond, dolist, iterate, etc.

What often happens in Lisps is that each core function is very powerful and becomes almost a mini-DSL. So it takes a while to really learn about all those and have them memorized by heart so you don't constantly need to refer to the documentation about what they do and how they work and how to use them. And often their power comes when they are combined together as well, and that also takes some time to learn all the valid ways of combining them.

Before you are familiar with all that and it's second nature, almost instinctive, you'll be a lot slower to read and write code.
Yes, but the federal government is vastly larger than the states, and it gets financed via nation-level bonds.
The linked article of Mikel Evins further in the thread might give you more hints.
This is nice. Would be great if it can filter by country or region (e.g. Europe, South Asia)
The way I think about it:

- To express direction in Cartesian space, you need signed numbers

- To express 2D rotation, you need imaginary numbers

- To express 3D rotation, you "need" quaternions (in the sense that they're the smallest way to represent an arbitrary rotation)
I can't wait for noninvasive brain scan tech that can give whales, orcas, and dolphins voices to communicate with us. We'll probably need to develop a semi tame culture of cetaceans to go out and live and learn among wild groups to allow us to learn more. Our brains and thumbs are enough to assist other species, not just our own - we might be the best thing to happen to every extant species if we can get our shit together in time.

Language is pretty fun. My favored multi-contraction is y'all'r'nt, similar in flavor of feeling natural/fun to say and use, but looking really ridiculous written out (not even sure I've even done it right...)

I feel like there's also something in this topic that relates to things like "going to" getting reduced to "gonna".
Why is everyone using 4 digits for batteries that are labelled as 5 digits? 18650 are 18650, not 1865 even if it makes more sense that way.

I wonder why the nomenclature changed?
I think there is a handful of airports like London City Airport which could utilize electric to lower noise. Now viable destinations from there is good question. There is probably some others as well, but it's rather limited market.
There's a lot to think about there. But what strikes me the most is part about turning down two offers before signing a third. It's extremely surprising that someone would do that, but maybe not so much on the first big job.

Also, I'm a little unclear about why the author calls StackOverflow OnlyCodeFans. I mean, on OnlyFans, you get paid actual money if I'm not mistaken. StackOverflow just dispenses upvotes. Maybe at the time upvotes seemed just as good as money.

Finally, the thing I clicked on the link to find out, how the author turned a SO obsession into paid gigs (or didn't), was barely covered.

Certainly the Parliament should be stronger (and will become so as it has a democratic mandate), but it is the Council, not the Commission, that is the supreme policy making body of the EU. The Council is made up of representatives from member state governments, which are of course democratically elected.
>What is the point of a right that applies to 1/3 of the population.

Tell that to the abortion rights campaigners. Or the father's rights activists. Or the people who advocate for the rights of gay/trans people, indigenous peoples and immigrants.

There are so many rights out there that only apply to a small subset of the population. It doesn't mean they're invalid.

Once you make batteries structural, the car actually is not that heavy anymore, combine that innovation with better batteries, cars will actually be lighter then they were.

And even if it was more heavy, it improves driving since the weight is low and central.

I don't take the stance that children have complete autonomy only because it leads to some very strange and disturbing consequences. Therefore, if the parents decide the child should not be vaccinated than I think that's a fine decision. I also think deciding your child should be vaccinated is a fine decision.

Where I draw the line is the prevention of attendance at a learning institution. Since you mentioned public school, then this should either have a distanced option (home schooling, etc) or permit the students regardless. Private institutions may do what they please. Yes, this also goes for public grant-receiving universities, community colleges, etc. Forcing people to manufacturer "exemptions" is simply an end-around to the government enforcing it's will upon people and their choices with their body. It's both immoral and unethical.
Sure, take it further, why should you have the right to drive a car? People get killed all the time. We should ban it.

How about all those people who recklessly go swimming and then drown. I mean they are using up valuable resources. Swimming should be banned.

What about candy bars? Think of the savings in health care if we just fed people sawdust.

I agree with all the posters here. We need to put everyone in camps for their own good. Thank god COVID came along and we realized human rights were just a joke.

OK, then next question: Is the intended delivery address say one street over? Reason: Packages can only be dropped off if your device reports that you're within a certain radius of the delivery point. When navigating, crossing into the radius defined by that point (termed the 'geofence') is what pops up the button that says you've arrived at your destination. So imagine... you're a driver using the turn-by-turn directions on your device and it suddenly says you've arrived at your destination. So you grab the packages and head over to the building number listed on the packages... except someone put the point for the geofence at the wrong spot so the radius of the geofence extends to the next street over, causing drivers to stop on the wrong street and deliver to an address with the same building number.

Mind you, I'm not saying that's what happened here, but that's one possibility.
What happens if there is a true emergency at work? Do employers just have to pay a bunch of fines every time this happens?

What will the politicians do when lots of businesses that could have done business in Portugal instead go to another country that is more reasonable in their laws?

If the politicians removed regulations and made Portugal much more attractive place for business, I think that would better accomplish their goal of improving workers lives. Businesses would be competing aggressively for Portuguese employees.
How are public schools compared to private? Does the quality of public schools vary a lot depending on which neighborhood they're located, like in the US, or are they mostly on the same level throughout a city/state?

No. But if you inject a new battery it needs to be mostly the same as the others and you need to re-balance the pack. There is software for this.
I bought this one second hand for half of what they go new for. It was sold as though it had 1800 km on it, deep readout of the controller revealed that I got scammed (it has done 11000 km), but I still think it's a pretty good deal, I'll just need to swap out some bearings a bit sooner.

The Stromer range is very nice, super pricey, Klever as well.

I haven't tried or looked at other s-pedelecs. Regular e-bikes there are so many types and brands that it is hard to say what works and what doesn't without just trying them.

This store has quite a few brands of s-pedelec:

But I'd never buy a new one, I think they are simply way too expensive, it's just another bike with a small electric motor and these prices are ridiculous, you can buy cars for that kind of money.
> The "pro bodily autonomy" message is smoke and mirrors, designed to put a palatable glaze on an increasingly fringe and reactionary position.

There is absolutely nothing fringe about wanting control of your body. This is a modern authoritarian take that is working to undo the last 50 years of increases in bodily freedom for everyone. I obviously won't win against someone espousing left-authoritarian views because neither of us will concede. But I do have some rhetorical things for you:

On "smoke and mirrors" for "an increasingly fringe, reactionary position". Do you think the same about abortion? Or is it, in your mind, okay for that form of bodily autonomy but some forms of bodily autonomy are more okay than others? Do you draw the line where "it harms people"? Who are "people"? It doesn't help you linked the CDC who has a vested interest in talking down the "bodily autonomy" argument as a public policy (public health is typically diametrically opposed to bodily autonomy because public health requires shirking the individual for the "common" good).

Arguing against bodily autonomy is binary. Either you are for bodily autonomy or you are for some level of government control over what people can and can't do with themselves. What I am willing to do to myself is my own business. Why should anyone but me decide?

Would an app-side ORM that has built-in connection pooling + PG14 (w/ connection scalability improvements) generally benefit from a connection pooler like Odyssey/PgBouncer, either server-side or app-side, when the number of app servers is low (<5-10)?
I'm not sure I understand the distinction. Right now if you throw an exception inside an async function, that "cancels" it and the function's object references are eventually GC'd. You catch the exception outside the promise. I'd imagine external cancellations would work in a similar way. Why is it unsafe for something outside to tell the async function to just throw an exception now, halt and dump its object references? If you're planning on explicitly doing it you'd need to catch it anyway. The difference is being able to do it from outside once the async function is running.
They had to build a fleet of robots to study emergent behavior?! Have they heard of this amazing tool that can simulate pretty much any physical behavior for pennies on the dollars called "computer"?

This is why I never understood or liked NPM. Apparently it's the DRY methodology that I don't like, one thing per function.

This is one step closer to understanding a Bash coder. Just get things done, because you don't have the time to worry about how it was done. Maybe a bit of optimization but really optimizing some string or numeric loops that are split second over optimizing functions or operations that take longer periods of time are much more important. Readability and the ability to debug is also important.

Stop worrying about the Purity Of Essence of your code, you'll end up turning on your own kind while muttering something about the fluoridation of the code supply.

Hi!

I'm currently in the US (Bay area) on a L1B visa. I have been working (coding) on a side project since 2 year and it is almost enough mature to become a startup.

Is there some option to start a company in the US as a L1B? Or will I have to relocate in my home country to do it?
Cars are relatively safe. What is the issue is that we allow pedestrians on streets. In the winter there is risk of slipping and hitting head. In summers dehydration and death.

We should design our cities better. Lock the people inside and only allow access from behind guardrails to parkin spots. Bikes should be straight out.
I was thinking of access to files, database, http endpoints, etc that need to be mocked if the unit your testing has dependencies that do those things.

With integration tests my expectation is that we're using real dependencies just fake data which is often easier to set up.

Go is another that strives for backwards compatibility: https://golang.org/doc/go1compat

After seeing the Perl5/6 schism, I was hopeful that the Python devs wouldn't make the same disastrous mistake, but.. the same happened with us with approximately 100k lines of Python 2 code (which we are now in the process of porting to Go and Rust), precisely for this reason.

It's exceedingly difficult to form trust in language developers who are willing to break working, production code in use all over the world for decades over a new unicode type and a few wishlist library items.

> electronically modulated

Is it really electronic modulation when the modulation is handled by pneumatically moving a polyethylene block? I would call that mechanically modulated. Electronic modulation would be, say, a transistor switching the output on/off.
You are moving the goal post. This is what OP said:

> Mr Burns was the most environmentally responsible Simpson's character and likely a real scientific expert.

And it's clearly wrong.

Now:

> * Portrait nuclear energy tycoon as the only villain is sad. Because it reflects a unconscious strong mental imprint of nuclear being fearful.

From the top of my head the show had a corrupt and inept chief of police, a corrupt mayor, a crazy homicidal clown, a fat tony hanging around freely and an unstable clown. Burns was not the only villain.

He was not a villain because of being a nuclear energy tycoon. He was a villain because of his actions (greed and arrogance and grandeur disillusions).

Now of course by association you could defend the idea that's it's a full blown attack on nuclear. And yes there is a strong mental imprint of nuclear being fearful in the US but I'd argue it has more to do with real life events and... I don't know.. cold war era craze for home bunkers to survive an nuclear winter than a cartoon that started at the end of the 80's and uses a badly managed nuclear plant as a laughing device (humor device ?) not even present in every episode.

> * The show can portrait coal miner. Instead of hiding nuclear waste in the tree. Coal miner can pollute the sky as some form of "sky painting".

Are you trying to build the argument that being against nuclear means being for coal ?

Anyway, apart from that three eye fish I don't recall the springfield nuclear plant had incidents that had lasting consequences like Chernobyl or Fukushima had. So apart from being comical...

I don't see where in the show it transpires that the depiction of the springfield nuclear plant reflects a " strong mental imprint of nuclear being fearful".

Bodily autonomy is not smoke and mirrors. "Bodily autonomy" qua "I don't want to get a safe and effective vaccine" is smoke and mirrors.

The rest of the post is built on top of your initial incorrect assumption, and isn't worth a line response. Consider, instead, whether there is any meaningful sense in which getting a free and effective vaccine can be reasonably compared to reproductive rights.
Oh that's evil :)

You’re really uninformed about vaccines. Saying because vaccinated people can spread it despite being over 10x less likely to, is black and white fallacy FUD. I can see you are very hyperbolic your statement:

“Yes it kills people and can spread easily, so what”

Is very callous. I think you could take your own advice about SF vs rural towns and maybe consider applying it to other countries.

By traditional, I mean the methods people have used to appraise companies for hundreds of years. i.e., I'm predicting that given enough time, Tesla will revert to the mean, because literally every other publicly traded company that's ever existed has done this. Sure, maybe Tesla will be the first company since the 1600s to avoid this. After all, the only modeling data anyone doing anything has is historical data.

But that's a hell of a gamble to make if you're a Tesla shareholder.

Rent-seeking isn't a phenomena that is unique to capitalism. It is something present in many different (all?) economic systems. So while it is completely fair to be critical of rent-seeking that isn't by itself a criticism of capitalism.
Are you deliberately or accidentally missing the point of the comment you're responding to?
Why not accept their decision not to take the vaccine? I think this is a choice - it shouldn't be mandated by the government. These vaccines are at best experimental - I'm not saying they don't work, but I am not confident enough in them to take the shot. After they've been used for a few years, and I see that there are no adverse effects, I'm fine taking it (if needed).

I'm not about the conspiracy theories, but I don't just jump on every bandwagon that comes along. I don't care how many have already taken it. Time will tell if it's safe.

If your counter argument is that they have been tested and doctors and other professionals have stated that there is no way of adverse effects in the future, then why is everyone signing a release before taking the shot, freeing all parties of legal action? Nobody will take responsibility if something happens to you from this shot, but they want to mandate it. Interesting.
I’d imagine it would get pinged for using var instead of let or const. And depending on who’s doing the review they might not like ‘new’.
LOL I built the first version of their android app back in the day. Can't speak to why they've been going after modders, but it's likely from a liability / legal standpoint. At the end of the day I still love their products and currently own an XR (may upgrade to a GT next spring!).

At least for the earlier versions all the info was published as standard BLE descriptors, so building a third party lightweight app for that is fairly straight forward. Not sure what they're doing these days, but if you wanted to investigate LightBlue is a great app for digging into BLE devices ;)
