Public health authorites != some random "doctor" being interviewed or quoted by right-wing media. The authorities are more likely to be correct than an individual physician with a Twitter account, a bunch of junk-science citations, and an axe to grind.

It should be obvious that the burden of proof lies with the outlying opinion, but somehow, it never is.
Seems like you have to handle that yourself. The serialized data includes the type, so your app code might have to have logic a la “if type1: … else: …” after parsing it.
DevSecOops: GitHub allows commits of Firefox cookies

Which is why the hospital owners have recently started convincing lawmakers to allow them to hire as many 'mid levels' they want instead.

They charge the patients the SAME, since, to the eyes of insurance, the services supplied are basically the same. They just get to KEEP more of the difference for the hospital stakeholders with a PA than with someone with a medical degree.

Males are biologically more aggressive that females. Pick any random male and female and there is a 60% chance that the male will be more aggressive than the female. You can study this and speculate as much as you want but you are wasting your time. Last time I looked males can’t give birth to children but females can. Is that also a cultural bias that we can somehow change to be more “even”? Good luck with that.

Two representations of the same data structures.

Ion text is like JSON, in fact all JSON is valid ion text. Ion text has comments, trailing commas, dates, and unquoted keys. It's a really good alternative to JSON, YAML, or TOML.

Ion binary is compact and fast to parse. Values are length prefixed so the parser can skip over unneeded fields or structs, saving time parsing and memory allocated. Common string values, like struct keys and enum values, are given numeric ids and stored once in a header table.
So basically it's Amazon's version of Apache Avro.
Avro supports binary/json serialization, schema evolution , logical types (e.g. timestamp) and other cool stuff.

reporting to police sounds ridiculous in Chinese context. I'm sure if Peng shuai is not an internationally renowned athlete, she'll be end up in a state run lunatic home, which is actually the best outcome for her.

Their Mao Tze Tung once raped a 14 year old. That little girl had worshiped Mao before the rape. She didn't want to be a young mistress like many others. She was not executed because her family hold high ranking positions in the party. So she ended up in those homes. China experts plz dont say this is a madeup story. Her name is huimin chen. The story is well known with the party and told to the public by Mao's long-time secretary. Actually they talk about raping young girls as anecdotes of powerful men.

Sounds like you have chestnut syndrome.

Chris Sawyer. I knew it offhand. It was a great game years ago and is so great that it lives on on the iPad. He also wrote Transport Tycoon (which is clear upon a casual glance, as they have the same UI.) The guy is definitely famous in his realm.
I wonder what's the performance relative to native JSON parsers?
I agree with the point but I will say that that's not how bundle pricing works. If you have 100 channels and you want to pay for two of them, the price doesn't go from $100 to $2, it goes from $100 to $90 (arbitrary high number here) because you have people who are willing to pay $45 even though you only want to pay $1. At that point, most people say just give me the other 98 channels

It may be a touchy subject or not for everybody. But raising a human with the best possible effort you can muster is an accomplishment at least one person will remember and value 100000x more vs. any world champion in solving IOI problems or writing clever functional code :-)

I've never used Western Union personally, so don't listen to me. Listen to their customer reviews:

Where’s the problem for context-freeness here? Just have two copies of every statement production, one that doesn’t allow for case labels and one that does, have function bodies start as the former and switch bodies unconditionally switch to the latter. It’d be thoroughly unpleasant to deal with in an implementation and not very helpful for the eventual user, but as a pure existence proof I don’t see any problems.
I say "bad" in the sense that Transformers is bad.

In the sense that an F-22 is used for CAS / bombing in The Tomorrow War (which I'd assume was one of Amazon's better funded efforts).

A lot of them just feel like "Oh, you just gave some money to people, removed the usual checks and balances that exist in filming, and told them to deliver a movie ASAP."

It'd be one thing if they were making niche or more interesting content, but it feels like they're mostly just making more action movies and baking shows... faster and at lower quality.
I have a sort of morbid fascination to see just how bad it is going to get.

The thing is so ripe it would have been easy to take the next step and make it a sly comedy.
Yup. NFT in gaming is a total hoax by design. There's just no guarantee that game companies will always accept the changes on the NFT side. It's just a tool to boost stock prices.

Every day objects do not really bother with the Pauli exclusion principle. The amount of phase space available at room temperature is vast and there are staggering amounts of degrees of freedom.

What everyday objects obey is electromagnetism. The electric bond between things we think of as objects is much much much stronger than the force you can apply by normal means. So objects which come in contact are excluded from the same space not by Pauli principle but because the force to combine them is astronomical in human terms
That seems like a very real effect, but the votes need to be disclosed after they occur. Otherwise, the lobbyists have even more power, because the committee has an incentive to collude with the lobbyists, if their individual votes are not known, and they accept bribes. (I agree that having their votes be unknown helps if they do not accept bribes).

The only foolproof solution is to remove power from the lobbyists.
So three wrongs make a right? Sexual harassment is deplorable, and just because it's common doesn't make it OK.

> No one claims NFT proves ownership of entities outside of the used blockchain. But within the chosen blockchain, they do prove ownership of that particular NFT. That's a fact.

I think the author's underlying point is: what is the value in having proof of ownership on a blockchain if it does not correlate to real world ownership in any meaningful sense? The cited example makes this clear: if you steal someone else's art, turn it to an NFT, and then sell it to a third person, the buyer does not actually own the underlying rights to the artwork because you never had the right to sell it in the first place.
>I'd be really curious to know how many people actually answer calls they aren't expecting

What do you do when your counterpart won't answer their phone?

I answer calls I'm not expecting when I'm expecting a call. Like from a plumber, a recruiter, a paving company, etc.

If I don't, at best I get to play phone tag, and at worst, the other person gets ticked off and I lose an opportunity. I don't like leaving voice mail, particularly the second or third time.

It would be nice if everyone legit had their main number show up to identify them, and it would be nice if they all answered their phone all day, but they don't.
The fact that "no one bats an eye" doesn't mean they're not internally annoyed by the key sounds. In my office, there was this person who used a cheap noisy keyboard. It bothered us, for sure, but we didn't bring it up to his attention.
Not sure I understand exactly what "a separate field" would look like, but:

1. Considering that a goal of Ion is to be a strict superset of JSON, separate syntax ensures that any JSON value can be parsed without misinterpreting some field as an annotation--there are no reserved/"magic" field names.

2. Annotations can be applied to any type of value, not just objects, which are the only type that have fields.
Looking at the US, because they keep good records on emergencies, it has been unlikely for an emergency situation to end from around 1994. There appears to still be an ongoing emergency that started in 1979.

This is a relative strong precedent in the west of emergency powers being used in an ongoing way.

That is a good point, but also why settle for coming up short if you can improve yourself.
You do IOI in high school, so one would expect you to hit the gym regularly at that point.

Also going to the gym is pretty easy, so if you know “the path to happiness” why not just take it?

I'm mediocre. So are the majority of people.
Putting annotations before values is likely to be more useful for streaming parsers than putting them after. Imagine the case where the annotation represents a class that you want to deserialize a large object into.

I wrote a trading bot, it worked well for a while and made money until Mt Gox shut down. I open sourced it because I thought it might be interesting for others to see.

I updated it for Bittrex, but didn't have enough capital to actually make it work.

Now everything has gone up so much, and I'm bearish on crypto in general, so I don't want to have any money invested in it.

That's why mine is available, and I'm not currently trying to keep it running.
I have Caps Lock mapped to Ctrl, like a UNIX-style keyboard. Otherwise, my requirements for a mechanical keyboard are simple:

1. High quality, tactile switches (Cherry MX Blues or Browns)
2. Programmable keymapping
3. TKL layout
4. 6NKRO
5. PBT double-shot molded keycaps (not ABS)
6. Steel baseplate with as little flex as possible
7. Removable USB-C cable
8. Black or grey (dark colours)

I don't care at all about RGB, that's a gimmick to me. I'm not a gamer. I need something I can blaze on when doing heavy Vim editing or writing (I type +/- 150 wpm) after a nap and a few cups of good coffee.

I also prefer a narrow bezel, something like this: https://www.duckychannel.com.tw/en/Ducky-One-Golden-grey-TKL

I don't answer a single call unless I'm told to expect it, or I can antipate one coming (e.g. I ordered takeout and the delivery driver is gonna ping me, or I asked a recruiter to call me at X time).

If the call comes out of nowhere, or if it's from a hidden number, then I'll silence it rather than declining (i.e. hit the power button rather than actually acknowledging the call, so it carries on ringing in silence until they give up instead of being told I'm busy). If it's important they'll leave voicemail or send an email.

It is - and it’s not so long ago that it was $2 to £1, so the requisite amount for a $170 cable bill in the heyday of US cable would have been ~£85.
My recollection is that castles were designed to be defended by multiple layers of defense. A clear space beyond the moat where approaching attacker would be exposed to archers on high, then a moat, then a strong gate, then a space between the outer wall and the next one where attackers could be slaughtered from above. As the designers were aware that any layer might be ineffective against a sufficiently powerful assault, it would be strange to expect them to neglect prudent provisions for continuation of the defense within the interior.

Maybe that's the problem? In earlier generations, one had to work harder to get in touch, get together, and have a conversation with someone, so every hard-won connection felt meaningful. These days, everyone you know is instantly reachable, and you can talk to anyone in the world without leaving your chair.

"There's no such thing as "raw" intelligence."

Well, that's sure a bold statement. I suppose in order to have this discussion, we'd have to agree on a definition of intelligence. For me, it's one's intellectual capacity to learn. Emotionally, physically, mathematically, etc. I'd argue that there is absolutely a thing of "raw intelligence". If we have mentally handicapped and Stephen Hawking, there must be a standard bell curve of intelligence in-between.
We've used ConfigCat (highly recommended). They publish a configuration file and the web client determines if the user is enabled or not.

Yes, this means we are paying for a UI and an SDK (plus an audit log and some integration into Slack and analytics) but it's still better than spending time writing a system ourselves.

You have to assume anything shipped is going to be public, and use sane defaults in code in case the service goes down. Once you move to that model, the idea of releasing code and features simultaneously seems reckless.

Doctors are also basically employees to the eyes of these hospitals. Albeit ones with some skills.

But I think they are abused during their residency and 4 - 5 years of being treated like absolute shit and everyone looking at you like a spoiled idiot (but is actually poor since residency salaries basically cover only housing and food) can turn most futures doctors into jaded and disillusioned cogs for the insurance machine.

Hospitals want to get paid by the insurance companies... so will bend over backwards and make it happen to the employees detriment.

Insurance companies PWN us all. So do not get distracted and think bigger picture. Doctors actually don't know the price of anything, they just do their job, and are getting trickle down from the insurance companies... which the hospitals gut through first.

Yeah, doctors had to work to get paid that much, but its the insurance and hospital business aspect that makes the costs sky high. They have lobbied for it to be this way for decades, letting idiot doctors distract us and have become an easy scapegoat. Most doctors have no idea how they get paid, the hospital complicates it on purpose so that idiots on both the doctor and patient sides are clueless and blame anything but the accurate picture.
> Ice is thinner than it seems, but streaming services know this.

but would streaming services rather compete with piracy than another big player?

With piracy, they have the law on their side - they can lobby for rules to punish piracy using state resources, rather than their own. They cannot do so for their competitors.
Your analogy is wrong, even sarcastically.

A correct version would be: I’ve been trying to convince people that power isn’t bad, even though some is generated with coal, because solar exists.

And that version makes sense.
UC schools have already become dubious - the entitlement of grads, the actual LACK of skills, not remotely "hungry" enough to have any grit or motivation, etc.

My father (an engineering manager) always said: "If you want GOOD employees, you never want to hire from UCB, Stanford, Cal Tech, etc. The best engineers in California come from Cal Poly SLO and Cal Poly Pomona. They are actually trained as engineers".

This is only proving that a college degree is not enough to qualify most graduates for any job. Better to hire from 2nd tier schools instead and even to consider HS grads on some cases. If they are more trainable than your typical entitled university degree holder, they are a better ROI, hands-down.

It appears you forgot the original motivation. You wanted to make games. That’s what you’d be doing besides “making a corporation richer”.

Similarly, Carmack is helping to shape the future of VR on the daily. I’m sure that’s why he does it and couldn’t care less how much money any corporation is making based on that.
I don't think the issue is people being polite. It's that these messages look similar to the legitimate fraud alerts that credit card companies and banks send.
