My city in Europe is the same. On cold calm days we regularly have pollution warnings and recommendations to stay inside. Nobody burns coal here, this is just from wood.

If you go to any village on the outskirts of the city (where there is no gas), almost everyone there will have a wood furnace used for central heating and hot water. These furnaces can fairly easily (with some financial investment) be converted to burn pellets, which burns a lot cleaner. These are sealed systems in a basement, not for ambiance as the sister comment suggests.

Even in the city there are still enough old houses without gas to cause problems. My walk to the office goes past a couple of these, and I can feel the air quality is worse in this area.

Newer houses usually use electric heat pumps, but older houses are poorly insulated so that would be very expensive there.
I know this is going to sound elitist, but it always bothers me to see comments like this that make it seem like it's okay to not learn how computers work even though you're a software developer (which I'm assuming you are).

The command line isn't some mystical scary thing, it's a extremely effective method of controlling a computer. It's survived this long for a reason, and it's not going to go anywhere. It's powerful, and extremely simple. Children learn how to use it every day (nerdy children, but still).

Try spending a few hours over the weekend actually trying to learn it. If you do, you'll see how it's a lot easier than you thought, and saying that you're "terrified" of it is silly.

Citations? I haven't taught in prisons but I know several people who have and I haven't heard such a claim.

More than a year! Linux with X took quite a few years to become usable, even if you had someone that knew how to install it from twenty floppies. I remember spending a week getting X running in the mid-90s.

$275 misses the big investment in hardware over just DOS or even Win3. Other folks have mentioned the investments in CPU, RAM, and Graphics that would need to be made to be productive, and these were all expensive then. I'd guess you'd be looking at $1000+ which is about $2000+ today.

The case is a little different because in the case from OP, the resident at the home knowingly let the fugitive into her home(who she knew was a fugitive). She then left and called the police. Whereas with the case I linked in Colorado, the fugitive illegally entered the home.

On the flip side, the Colorado suspect was actively shooting at the police from the home, while the Texas suspect apparently didn't do that, and merely committed suicide in a bedroom.

Everything in moderation. Just because you feel an emotion doesn't mean you blurt it out to someone in your vicinity.

I'm interested in what even is the name of the emotion underlying "that idea is stupid". Is it surprise? Frustration? Anxiety?

The US has a culture of retribution [1] against convicts. This has led to the election of many politicians, prosecutors, and the like who campaign on a "tough on crime" platform [2]. In spite of what the wikipedia article on retributive justice says, I believe schadenfreude is a component of this. People see stories in the news about violent crimes and they often gather outside courtrooms to cheer when harsh sentences are handed down, including the death penalty.

Interesting thread by Shopify Engineering on their Black Friday numbers and prep
So what doesn't call in to question the veracity of the statement, it implies that the situation described doesn't matter. To me it sounds like "Well, the problem is hard, so we should just accept that some people may die and live with it" as opposed to "we don't know how common that is" or "the alternative is worse and here's why".

My objection is to what I see as a cavalier attitude towards the injuries and deaths of those we've incarcerated, which I think we have a clear duty to try to alleviate. We are legally required to not torture and or injure them, and I don't think turning a blind eye towards what happens in the environment we force them to be in diminishes our responsibility with respect to that.

Angiogenesis is going to be important in wound healing, I suppose, but compared to the current side effects of chemo this seems relatively minor.

I agree that "no obvious side effects" seems excessive if you interpret that as the expected result in humans. Still, on paper this looks much more specific that anything we have.
Drugs cost money. Donations through charities aren't going to occasionally contain drugs just as a gift to random prisoners.

"Some of the criticisms are justified but we have to do something" is the start of the FUD I'm talking about. Do we? Examine the premises instead. As the article notes smuggling by guards is apparently an expected vector when running a prison, and yet this comment section is taking these anecdotes at face value without any evidence of, say, widespread drug smuggling through charities donating books to prisons.
Agree.

I know nothing about biology, medicine or evolution, but I don't think that's how it works. Lots of people inherit and pass on all kinds of bad genes that do terrible things to them, even kill them. And for such people, switching them off would be better pretty much irrespective of any side effects. (to the degree there even are any side effects at all)
Simple example:

A nonprofit wants to donate $600K to feed children.

It will cost $400K in operating expenses to be able to do this.

They need to generate $1MM in revenue and $400K in profits in order to be able to make use of $600K in support of their cause. Without this "profit" there is no nonprofit and no support for the cause. It is profit.

One way to define profit is something like what you have left after delivering a product. This hypothetical nonprofit takes in $1MM, delivers $600K in product and has $400K in profit that is used for operating expenses and (likely) to put money away for future needs, growth, etc.

Profit is necessary. We might not call it profit when it comes to these types of organizations, yet they cannot exist without this part of the equation. Call it what you want. They have to make more than they spend --a lot more-- or they cease to exist.

Also, in the US nonprofits are not banned from making what one might term conventional profit. They just can't distribute it. This means they can put money away and grow like crazy. Look at the mega-churches in Texas as a perfect example. If that not profit, I don't know what is.

> Taken to its logical conclusion, private companies are making money hand over fist with private prisons, from the amount taxpayers pay to house inmates, and from modern day slave labor of prison “jobs” making products.

Given that private prisons cost less than state run ones, do you think taxpayers would prefer to pay more for prisons just so that companies running private prison don’t make a profit? Do you apply this logic also to construction projects? I.e. would you prefer to pay, say, twice as much for a bridge to be build by government construction agency, so long as no private construction company makes a profit building it?

> Yes I'm sympathetic but there is no solution here other than increasing the supply of GPUs or decreasing the demand. Complaining about scalpers isn't going to help with either one. Scalpers don't set the price.

This feels like the "There Is No Alternative" (TINA) and I have never been a fan of that kind of unwillingness to explore.

Video card makers have been running lottery systems. Those systems might need better defense against scalpers, better identity verification to function adequately. Sure the exploiters will keep escalating, keep trying to get the money they can & resell; we can't make perfect the enemy of the good though. We just need to keep iterating, keep trying to do the good job of getting good equipment into actual humans that want them's hands.

I'm not going to just throw my hands up & say "improvement is impossible!"

> In fact, what you should be willing to do is argue that NVidia and AMD should sell all their GPUs direct to consumer at an auction,

Again this absolute refusal to acknowledge that consumer surplus is allowed to exist. GPU makers need to get cards into actual consumers hands. They need to keep the PC gaming market alive. What you propose would destroy the entire industry these card makers exist in. Only the rich being given access to these products would destroy the market, end the product segment entirely. No one would make PC video games. Insisting we obliterate consumer surplus, milk every last oz of profit, is a shortsighted, profit-motivated view of the world, & fails to provide essential essentials.

Endless doubling down on how profit must be extracted, how it's the only possible option: it just totally misses the entire ecosystem of computing that's getting shredded to bits by inaction & exploitation. Simply saying, we need to move those profits to the GPU maker is not going to do anything to help the ecosystem.
This is absurd, if they cause the damages, they should be on the hook to pay for them too.

My book (https://github.com/learnbyexample/py_regular_expressions) is for complete newbies to regex, provided they know the basics of Python. At the end of each chapter, there are exercises to test your understanding of concepts presented until that chapter.

These interactive exercises cover about 70% of the exercises from the book, meant for beginner to intermediate level programmers. There are a few tricky exercises, but overall the idea is to help you get comfortable with regex syntax and features.

I'm deeply sympathetic to this viewpoint, and definitely oppose book bans and restrictions. That being said, I think you're misinterpreting OP's perspective. They aren't (at least not deliberately) proposing these restrictions out as some punishment for immorality, they're specifically concerned about safety. If significant numbers of people die that wouldn't die if books were restricted, that's at least an argument for a ban.

Again, I'm not saying at anything near enough people die due to book-organized hits to swing the scales. That seems...unlikely, to say the least. I'd just argue that there's a difference between keeping all the kids in at recess and hits being called.

It's a classic idea. There were some early asynchronous mainframes built from discrite logic. It might come back. It's an idea that comes around when you can't make the clock speed any higher.

I assume it's a translation error back in 1420 AH (2000 AD which is kinda pre-internet) by the King. He misunderstood how it's done in the West when naming it in Arabic.

The fact these articles don't address the issue is the problem.

For instance, when we show our goats, which are pets to us, we won't cut back their hair, because the hair to us is what we want in a pet, but to a breeder you need to see muscular and udder definitions etc on show. The breeders think we are strange/not that serious.

When they botox the camels is it about the camel as a machine or the camel as a companion.

Perhaps it's a similar arguments about is it "Allah" or "God" in the Koran. Here there is a bit of sniggering going on, but perhaps the Arabs own it. Child beauty pageant are a thing in the US which is owned.

I agree that this project emphasizes the unfortunate state of copyright. The last Civil War veteran died in the 1950s. Imagine he had written a memoir of his war experiences. If the United States had always had its current copyright laws, that book would only now be entering the public domain. Billie Eilish's music might not be public domain until 2150. There's no justification for such long copyrights. Artists aren't making art so their estates will make money fifty years after they're dead.
Amazon search is horrendous garbage. I was trying to buy replacement ear tips for my earbuds. I knew exactly what to search for. Yet, Amazon search only returned the Large size and none of the others. (Clicking on the large listing only had the large size available. No drop down selection or anything) I go to Google and type in the same search and put Amazon in the search too. Immediately shows up as first result and I was able to buy them. I figured they were out of stock and that’s why I couldn’t get them. Nope - Amazon search is just that bad.

I think what he experienced is another manifestation of the same phenomena as zero-tolerance policies in schools; institutions ask their enforcers to suspend common sense and strictly enforce the letter of the law/guideline/etc, even in situations where any reasonable person would decide it made no sense. They do this because such common sense and gut feelings is how bias and prejudice might creep into their oh-so-perfect system.

It used to be that if a teacher saw a kid get bullied and then punch his bully back, the teacher was empowered to evaluate the situation using their best judgement, and punish the bully while congratulating the bullied kid who stuck up for himself. The system sees a problem with that; the teacher's perception of the incident might have bias and prejudice. The system's solution is to have zero tolerance for any violence and punish both students equally. The system's solution to the possibility of prejudice against one student is to ensure prejudice against both students.

Despite the refrain at the time that it wasn't an OS, in hindsight I feel that's a pretty tenuous claim. It just used DOS as a hardware abstraction layer. The Win16 API provides processes, memory management, IO abstractions, and many other OS-like features. Eventually in the late 3.1 era they'd even move the disk drivers and file system into the Windows kernel. (The so-called 32-bit disk access.) Similar for DV/X in many ways.

No, the Hamburg court is well known for playing fast and loose with everything copyright or everything personal rights. They create jaw dropping rulings all the time, and quite often are reversed in part or fully by a higher court.

The Oberlandesgericht Hamburg was particular known for a Richter with the name Buske. He was well know for his "interesting" rulings. It went so far that IP/copyright/personal rights/media lawyers coined the term "Buskeismus" (Buskeism). He is retired since about a year, but his spirit seems to still live on especially in Hamburg's courts.
