> And the ancient historian’s own account mentions another Spartan king who was unusually short and “impaired in his legs” but still a good leader.

The Spartan kings (supposedly) come from two lines of descendants of Heracles, Eurysthenes and Procles, who are said to have come to and conquered Sparta (the Spartans did not think they were native to the land). To kill one at birth would probably be a laughable idea to a Spartan.
So basically what the democrats and corporate media did from 2016 to 2020. Or is it that you/they are the deciders of exactly what constitutes bad behavior and by some incredible coincidence they always happen to define it so precisely and arbitrarily as to not be subject to it themselves?

That's a great way to not be authoritarian and anti democratic I guess, is to anoint yourself the decider of what is authoritarian and anti demicratic. Especially when you can move the goal posts around as necessary. How about inventing wild conspiracy theories, lying to voters, and recruiting your corporate media allies to spread these baseless claims that your political opponents are traitors who colluded with spooky foreign enemies to gain power?
If torture, then you should defend that the UK is torturing prisoners. I thought that was going to be a hard sell, but then I checked the most recent thing that Nils wrote and it seems to be selling exactly that:

> #Assange’s stroke is no surprise.

> As we warned after examining him, unless relieved of the constant pressure of isolation, arbitrariness & persecution, his health would enter a downward spiral endangering his life.

> #UK is literally torturing him to death.

Prisoners face undue pressure of isolation making strokes unsurprising? Not buying it. Instead, accepting that Assange was a journalist, who was acting in a different manner than usual journalists, and now up to the courts to decide if this manner was against their laws or not. Activism as a motive may actually be a better defense, but not a defense lawyer.
It has been admitted and the confession is there. After a high of $14 after SPACing on the NASDAQ last week, it has cratered to $6; over 50% down in days. And yes, that includes the same 'BuzzFeed News' that is under BuzzFeed Inc, as if that matters in this SPAC given that was repeatedly brought up. [0]

Either way, the investors and the markets do not care.

The employees couldn't sell either. At least they provided great shareholder value for the other SPAC investors who withdrew before it was listed.

The Norwegian law you referenced appears to say you can't charge for debt collection (unless conditions are met). This has nothing to do with debt collection. In fact it has nothing to do with debt. But you know what man, go ahead, try and scam someone with an NSF or decline and see how it goes.

I worked in another field against Chinese state-owned competitions.

Pretty much for each unit they sell, they not only receive payment from customer, they also receive government payment for the same amount. As a result, they were able to keep the price unreasonably low.
> If you offer your software at no charge, you shouldn't be surprised if people accept that offer. So I even disagree with the "moral obligation"

Sure, but don't complain then, if it doesn't work, or you get hacked using it. You get what you pay for. Nor should you be surprised if eventually, no one decides to "give you for free" something you value so little.
No, the costs to comply with US environmental regulations as well as costs of inevitable litigation from the pollution would be astronomical.
I think there is some generally universal moral that goes something like this: the larger and more intelligent an animal is, the more wrong we feel it is to hurt that animal. Given a choice between a lab rat or a chimpanzee, would you choose the rat over the chimp in the trolley problem? For people to feel OK with medical experiments, they want the risk to be in line with the intrinsic value they place on that life. Maybe lemurs are closer to the high risk category for most people, and they're better at predicting what will happen in the larger primate studies.

TFW you realize k8s isn't even used that widely inside Google.
The NWS does distinguish between warnings for radar-indicated tornadoes and for confirmed tornadoes on the ground (usually confirmed by spotters), but you have to read the warning text to tell (you'll see phrasing like "particularly dangerous situation" and "confirmed tornado" in the warning when they're working based on something that's been visually seen versus radar indicated). For an example of what this looks like, see the Text Data tab here [1]; this warning (from last night in Nashville) was originally issued for a radar-indicated tornado, which was subsequently observed on the ground and the warning was updated accordingly in Update 1.

But you should take any tornado warning seriously. Yes, they come more frequently than they used to, but that's because we didn't have any advance warning before-- if you wait to get to your safe place until a tornado's been confirmed on the ground, you might not be able to get to safety in time. Or you might not get to safety at all; just because someone hasn't seen a tornado and reported it to the NWS doesn't mean it's not on the ground and deadly.

That's why you have to read into the text to see this distinction: the actions you should take if you're in the path of a PDS (observed) tornado warning and the actions you should take if you're in the path of a radar-indicated tornado warning are the same.

I was going to say this. Most are just looking for some experience outside school/work and next thing you know they are the only one maintaining something big companies rely on.
Tornadoes Leave Trail of Devastation Across Six States
I also live in a tornado-prone state and agree with all of this. In my experience, nothing at all shuts down in the event of a tornado watch - everything is business as usual (schools, businesses, retail, etc.). Outdoor activities might be cancelled, but even that wouldn't be a given. As said, tornado warnings are short-lived and you just shelter in place wherever you happen to be. I've been crammed in a bathroom with 30-40 other people at my cushy 9-5 office job many times due to tornado warnings. The thought has never even crossed my mind about not going into work during a tornado watch.

It's mind-boggling how many people are spouting away here who clearly have no understanding of how tornados work. Didn't anyone ever watch Twister?
In my experience, it's about the inconsistency between Node.js versions (each version could produce different package-lock.json).

So, for example, you install the dependencies with Node 12, but have to run locally the system with Node 14.

So, i think just checkout the node_modules folder into git is not complete solution. You're avoiding the need to commit inconsistent package-lock.json, which is not hard to solve though.
I’ve had to fork a dependency (Kaniko). That wasn’t the main reason at the time, but it did end up helping that (since kaniko depends on a specific docker version). But at the very least, forking is relatively easy (git subtree plus replace in go.mod).
Or you have the computer do the work and print everything ready to mail. If you fold without looking you’d never know.

At my previous company we committed a zipped node modules to git LFS so we could have easy reproducible offline builds without hosting an internal npm instance. Seemed to work well enough.

I also see at least one comment here making this same argument.

The article covers the evidence against, including, that disabled ancient Greeks lived to adulthood.

The evidence cited in favor is Plutarch's assertion, and that "other societies" do it.

That last is particularly weak. Plutarch's assertion wasn't that parents who couldn't afford children would leave them exposed, but that the Ancients would by policy submit the babies to an examining council who would order that disabled babies be exposed.

So all we have in favor, really, is Plutarch's say-so. Given that he wrote this 700 years later, this evidence is pretty weak, too.

Huh ? It’s free money then
It’s neither, just old technology that worked and a system of incompatible electronic health record software vendors which are extremely slowly developing interoperability (there’s not a lot of motivation to make this happen)
Developers are relying more and more on automated scanners and the likes to manage this. Your modern python or javaScript stack just has way too many packages and they change daily. Just look at your dependency lockfile balloon when a random dependency updates a point and brings in a few more packages. It’s really a horrible thing.

I’d like to say the scanners were fast but not fast enough because the first wave of attacks was nearly instant. This was definitely a nightmare scenario where a simple unauthenticated GET could pull in a kit that was already live and ready to go.

This right here. Our short-sighted attitude towards fundamental public infrastructure like this never ceases to amaze me.
If you don’t already, consider washing your rice first. I’ve found that to help with gumminess.
Totally agreed with every step, that's what we do too -- except it's composer and composer managed packages here not npm but the reasoning is similar. On top, we too often need to actually patch composer managed packages and rolling patches without the code being version controlled is a PITA. It's git diff --relative if it's already in git otherwise it's .... I dunno, check out the package somewhere else, hope you get a close enough version (because what's released can differ a bit from version control), copy over the files , roll a patch, clean up the patch... what an unnecessary nightmare.

And composer patches makes life quite easy compared to maintaining a fork. If I were to fork something I would need to handle merging every time they have a new release, run the build etc. With composer patch, a new released version is installed and the patch on top. Sure, if there's a conflict that needs to manually resolved but that's usually minimal effort since most patches are absolutely tiny, a few kilobytes at most.

I never even understood the arguments for keeping the packages out of git. Trying to save disk space these days is pointless. Maybe npm is different but composer handles about 160MB of code here. Maybe I missed the memo but these days that's nothing. My laptop shipped with a 500 000MB SSD so it's like, what, half a percent? The speed advantage , on the other hand, is absolutely undeniable, git won on speed in the first place, these script language tools can't possibly compete with a git pull on speed. git diff, as the author notes, is not at all a problem, just separate the vendor commits from your commits. And as I noted: they are useful for vendor packages.
The "account" is a public key, which is random digits, so it doesn't look like anything.

I never said all content on TV was good. Similarly, not all content on Youtube is bad. But the most hyped/advertised content on TV tends to be pretty entertaining (and usually fairly accurately advertised), while the most hyped/advertised content on Youtube (i.e. frontpage) is 90% clickbait and 10% people I'm subscribed to.
100% this.

Yeah my problem with Filippo’s perspective is companies aren’t delivering what they promise either.

It’s not as if altruistic motives, are what drives big corp.

Open source often originates in big corp; k8s, Rust, and all the ML … none of them are exactly wart free or blowing minds as promised. Just the next evolution of a big corp financed mess from the 90s.

The response to big corp complaints is they get what they pay for. And since austerity for the masses, all your agency are belong to us, fuck big corp

My proposed solution is to continue to reserve the word warning for its old use, to keep people safe by preventing the cry-wolf effect and to introduce an intermediate term to appease the people who want to ring the alarm more often and communicate with locals who want more information.

I agree that the older, simpler watch and warning system was better, if that's what you're saying.

> People need to shelter, not be leaving the facility to go home.

Perhaps you should re-read my comment.

> They absolutely can (and should) shut down

PS I live in tornado alley and any time there was any kind of watch, my school enacted their severe weather plan. I am well aware that the vast majority of businesses don't even have a severe weather plan. That has absolutely no bearing on whether or not they should.
We can thus infer that author being working in "Google Chrome DevTools team", they must have a way to unifying their dev env.

Do you think Amazon has changed its labor practices in the last month? The OP's point is that warehouse employees don't have the option to not show up.
My change was profound, but the cause for it is pretty simple. I was in love with a girl and I tried to be with her but she did not even reply to me. I started thinking about how this happened and how I could have avoided it, I started thinking about in what ways she has changed me for the better... From here I just sort of became a "better" person. Honesty, loyalty, not making promises I cannot keep, and so forth... In some ways being a manipulative prick paid me off more, but I do not mind, I am sticking to who I am now.
This is super cool hackery of the highest order.
Or just put taxes on foreign dumping/oversubsidized products. Development grants are good things but these huge companies don’t need them, have plenty of resources to build capacity and new products. We should be funding new competition and science not playing subsidizing games with our biggest companies.
You could increase your donation estimate by 10x and it probably still wouldn't be worth the effort. On GitHub, starring a repository is free and yet log4j2 was only has about 1700 of them. Even if each of those was a donation, your suggested 25 or 50 cents translates to only about a single day of a market rate developer salary.
Smartphones are also plugged into emergency service broadcasts. I've received a few for severe weather in my area.
Also worth noting that “more frequently” for any given location is likely somewhere on the order of 1-2 warnings per year maximum.
Excellent information; thank you. Communicating all this to the public is a significant challenge. You can't ask people to take shelter more often, and you also can't ask them to read more detailed reports. Compliance rate saves lives, for better or worse.
I find it interesting that no one seems to be talking about the fact that we're having deadly tornadoes in December. This is not normal, especially if this was a multiple tornado event, but even one really big one would be way out of the ordinary. Maybe it's my northern Illinois upbringing, but tornadoes this time of year seems way unlikely.
Try plugging a modern smartphone in to an old 5 watt USB socket, the charge indicator will probably indicate charging, but it probably won’t do much unless the phone is completely off.

> 1.8.9 and 1.12.2

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the first favored by pay-to-win servers and pvp specializing servers, while 1.12.2 is favored for modding? Both seem pretty niche to me, albeit noisy niches. There have been several substantial updates to the game since 1.12 and I'm quite sure most players are presently on 1.18 or at least 1.17. And I don't have much sympathy for the plight of those P2W servers.
counterintuitively in basketball, shooting is mainly about pushing the ball up in the air (against gravity) rather than forward. that means the legs are the primary actuator used in shooting, rather than the arms, as most beginners assume. the arms mainly provide the finer motor control needed to guide the ball through the hoop.

this misperception sometimes comes from watching nba players (like lebron) who are so strong they can shoot primarily from their arms, but that's not most people. steph curry's absurd range, for instance, comes mainly from his legs (efficiently utilized by a tight shooting form).
"Ivermectin: How false science created a Covid 'miracle' drug"

https://www.bbc.com/news/health-58170809

"Campaigners for the drug point to a number of scientific studies and often claim this evidence is being ignored or covered up. But a review by a group of independent scientists has cast serious doubt on that body of research.

The BBC can reveal that more than a third of 26 major trials of the drug for use on Covid have serious errors or signs of potential fraud. None of the rest show convincing evidence of ivermectin's effectiveness.

Dr Kyle Sheldrick, one of the group investigating the studies, said they had not found "a single clinical trial" claiming to show that ivermectin prevented Covid deaths that did not contain "either obvious signs of fabrication or errors so critical they invalidate the study".

Major problems included:

The same patient data being used multiple times for supposedly different people
Evidence that selection of patients for test groups was not random
Numbers unlikely to occur naturally
Percentages calculated incorrectly
Local health bodies unaware of the studies"
Let me try again: how do you measure how much you have given and how you have taken? If not (only) with money, how do you estimate the time and effort that you put into collaboration?

If you ask five different people to evaluate your contributions, how much would they agree? How much would these people be interested in contributing as well and/or paying for you to keep doing what you are doing?

The point I am trying to make: people express their preferences differently, and that is a Good Thing (tm). Market dynamics are a Good Thing (tm). Each of these critical RCEs work as shock on the whole ecosystem which makes it a little bit stronger. I'd rather have a dozen of RCEs on popular-but-amateurish maintained projects than a little totalitarian forcing everyone to "stop being a leech".
Weirdly reminiscent of the sci fi plot element in Sawyer, “The Terminal Experiment.”
