Are you aware though that those kinds of warnings are relatively common in the Midwest? We receive those kinds of advisories at least a few dozen times a year. It would be impractical for everyone to stay home from work every time the conditions are favorable for tornado formation.

Plus, in this part of the country most people operate under the assumption that whatever building they're in at the time of a tornado warning will have an appropriate shelter. I don't know anything about this Amazon building and if they had appropriate shelters and if people had time to get there or what, but my point is more generally in this region of the country, "tornados possible today" is just not something people stay home from work for. And yes, that goes for office workers too. I've had to move to a storm shelter at my office many times due to a tornado warning during the work day.

Furthermore, there's no guarantee that anyone would have been safer at home anyway. An EF3 tornado (what this supposedly was) will absolutely obliterate homes if they are in the direct path.

(edit) Can't reply anymore, but you quoted this: "There aren't hours and days of advanced notice. Only a few minutes." and responded that there was plenty of notice of a possibility of tornados. The sentence after your quote said "You can't shut down for every thunder storm on the astronomical chance it'll turn into a tornado and head in your direction.", so it seemed to me like you were offering a rebuttal to the idea of "you can't shut down...". Sorry if I misunderstood what you were trying to say.
> I don't think that Scala is especially good for "pure FP".

I meant when compared to F#. Of course there are other languages for FP as well.

That's your choice!
Every one of these stories (edit: story titles) suggests that this is a current event. It's not. It happened in October.

Could that be changing as the climate changes?

From the article, the two charts referenced don’t say what I think you were hoping they say.

The first chart claims to show how CPI fluctuated wildly on the gold standard, except if you read the * and footnote in the article you will see it discloses that the US actually went off the gold standard at the same time as the increase in inflation.

The second chart aims to show how low and stable CPI has been under the current fiat standard not backed by gold. However the chart is old and doesn’t include the recent CPI readings of 6.4% and 6.8% annualized inflation that were reported in the most recent 2 months by the BLS. In other words if chart 2 were continued to today they would include spikes of 3x, not exactly the narrative someone arguing in favor of the current system would want to show.

I don’t buy your argument that allowing a handful of central bankers to manipulate the money supply and print money out of thin air, is a good thing.
> Of course that sentiment (against yelling "FIRE!") has been misused, just as with any sentiment.

Except in this case, the origin of that phrase "shouting fire in a crowded theater" is a US Supreme Court Case in 1919 that upheld the prosecution of of an anti-war protestor for pamphleting against the draft. This is the approach to free speech that is being referenced when people use this phrase in argument.

> Similarly, the "No Censorship Ever!" sentiment is being abused to justify spreading weaponized dezinformatsiya at massive scale and speed, resulting in literally killing people (starting w/deluded COVID victims and Rohinga muslims,+++), for profit.

For someone arguing against absolutism, you see to think in very absolutist terms about supporters of free speech. Very few advocates of free speech advocate for no restrictions on speech.

Censorship should not be the first tool you reach to do deal with misinformation. Algorithmic censorship carries huge risks and can cause great damage, much like algorithmic amplification.

Censoring alleged misinformation and propaganda is a common and widely used tactic of authoritarian governments around the world. Normalizing that censorship makes it easier for am authoritarian leaning administration to push us in that direction. It is extremely dangerous.
Cities Skylines seems to, but just like for the vast majority of systemic gameplay, it's going to be an approximation of some kind and that's fine. CDPR needed to find that compromise between full simulation and believable approximation, but it seems like they ran out of time to get it working.

Star Citizen's "Subsumption" and Quanta system is very similar in goal, and if it goes to plan will be one of the most engaging "AI population" simulations to date. It does't individually simulate every person in real time, but instead simulates a set of tasks and demands to be done, all the resource nodes, and an approximate population of simple entities carrying out those tasks, and when you spawn near said tasks, it spins up a "meta NPC" to represent in full 3D space, an agent of one of those simplified population entities.

So for example, you fly to a mine site, the system knows there are currently 40 miners here mining aluminium to take to the factory, it knows at what point they are at with their tasks, and so it generates 40 NPCs to represent those miners. At that point you can interact with them and influence the simulation, say steal their ship and minerals. That updates the simulation but the simulation need not care about the specifics of the NPC. Just that he has no minerals and he is no longer capable of mining.

You fly away with their ship, and all the other NPCs return back to simplified entities in the graph.

> It seems rare to get any contributions back to hw projects (either in pull requests etc or donations) so it's unsurprising when I see talented people give up or go with non commercial licenses.

This is 100% true. Coming from a software side I was surprised that on the embedded and hardware side everyone just forks. I did try to contact the original arscsino project to contribute back but at the time it was idle and I got no response.
I filled out a VAERS report and never heard from anyone about it.

Unfortunately I haven't learned anything interesting about what the mechanism of action might be. Especially with respect to the most interesting question - does this reaction to the vaccine mean I might have had an even worse reaction to a COVID infection? There are plenty of people who report tinnitus following COVID.
Oh I didn't realize that.

That makes patching the issue pretty trivial then, right? Anyone deploying production software should be updating their minor versions anyway.

It's surprising how many ethnic cuisines that have become more ubiquitous in the US in the last decade or two match up so well to their home nations offering marketing and financial assistance to potential restaurant owners.

I know this doesn't directly help you in STL, but Tennessee has a pretty incredible volunteer crew who update us on Twitter and also go live on YouTube when things get bad.

The general public can’t grasp the distinction between watches and warnings, and your solution is to divide warnings into subcategories?
If money is involved, it should absolutely be run like a business. But just because it is run like a business doesn't mean the bottom line is the primary motive.

That makes a lot of sense for file sizes—otherwise, common dependencies patch versions apart would be duplicated many time, and it would block you from upgrading a library's dependency for a security fix. You still get the important part of reproducible builds for your program. Rust's Cargo behaves the same way.
Unfortunately, reading files from .zip can be considerably slower than the filesystem.

On an Ubuntu x86_64 machine with an SSD, require("react") with Yarn PnP ends up 4x slower than when installed from npm (Node 14.17.6).
We stayed in the basement after the sirens started, and followed it on the weather radar. We got notifications on the phone, and kids were dismissed from evening activities early. Pretty rare to get this type of weather this time of year.

i'm no doctor, but my current self help plan is to keep exercising cardio, low impact due to attributed anti-inflammatory effects, reduced carbs and sugar (i'm already low here but will probably fully go to zero). i've also started hyperbaric oxygen therapy which so far hasn't had immediate effects but does provide extremely deep sleeps which seem to help significantly.
As someone who grew up in the midwest (specifically in Joplin, where we know a thing or two about tornados! [1]), I'll say those are largely ignored both in and out of work. I've never left work during a tornado. I've rarely even stopped working during a tornado -- the only time I even went to a basement was when we literally saw a tornado out the window from our desks. As soon as it passed, it was back to work. If you're at home, it's not unusual to go outside and see dozens of other people also outside, watching tornados. At night, the sirens are usually just an annoyance: you plug your ears and do your best to go back to sleep.

Right, if this is a huge problem for these big companies they only have themselves to blame, they decided to use software from a guy who writes it in his spare time.
Nitpick here = the `Load` member takes a path to _any_ file of the same schema as the sample, but you can also just use the sample at runtime with the use of `Load()`. So it doesn't have to be as redundant as you've shown here, the flexibility is all about loading other instances of the same data shape.

Here is a (semi)recent paper in Science about the end of Moore's law. As I understand it (but I'm not an expert), Figure 2 seems to give pretty compelling evidence that Dennard scaling (i.e, the phenomenon that historically allowed for smaller chips to run at higher clock speeds without an increase in power usage) seems to have stopped around 2005, and that subsequent speed ups have largely come from in-chip parallelism.

I mean, frankly, how often are you under a legitimate TOR warning that you’re having to do this? I live in the Midwest—in tornado country, no less—and the number of TOR warnings that disrupt my life in a given year I can count on one hand (assuming there are any).

Also this just misunderstands the threat of tornadoes. A warning is issued for a county-wide area, even though a tornado threatens (at most) a couple-mile wide swath of land. That seems ridiculous, except for the fact that even small deviations in the storm’s path can disrupt lives significantly. The NWS isn’t wrong.
I've lived in tornado country almost all of my life and I'm not aware of any business that shuts down due to a tornado watch. They'd be shutting down all the time. By the time the watch becomes a warning, it's too late. People need to shelter, not be leaving the facility to go home.
It was pretty clearly plain language and clear notification.

I have no intent to purchase anything from you, unlike the customers (i.e. people who have and continue to purchase) who this thread is discussing.

Ooo... That RC divider on the PPS concerns me. All the money was put into making that edge right on the money, and reliably so. I'm not sure that guarantee will hold out when run through a load. Warming the resistor or capacitor, for example, should change the time constant enough to be noticable.

I've had lots of luck with 74LVC series ICs as logic level translators from 5V to 3.3V. I can do a little nosing around to see if they can handle 400 ns pulses, but they should handle just great.
I’m sure this is the only community that might pay attention to a software BOM as mentioned in the article, but this is a great idea and makes a lot of sense (to me as a consumer at least).
The listed reasons are insufficient and we could achieve many of these by just pinning our dependencies versions. If we did this, our git repo after a few commits will tend towards a gazillion GBs. Costs outweigh the benefits, if at all there are any.

You missed it, or maybe your translation left it out? Search for 'Apothetae':

> Nor was it in the power of the father to dispose of the child as he thought fit; he was obliged to carry it before certain triers at a place called Lesche; these were some of the elders of the tribe to which the child belonged; their business it was carefully to view the infant, and, if they found it stout and well made, they gave order for its rearing, and allotted to it one of the nine thousand shares of land above mentioned for its maintenance, but, if they found it puny and ill-shaped, ordered it to be taken to what was called the Apothetae, a sort of chasm under Taygetus; as thinking it neither for the good of the child itself, nor for the public interest, that it should be brought up, if it did not, from the very outset, appear made to be healthy and vigorous.

There is also the thing that American corps like to do: sell out and buy out the politicians so they can use public funds to campaign against subsidies, education, and all possible methods to regain the capabilities that they sold out to begin with.

It's like American capitalism wants itself to fail. It's pretty much self sabotage at this point.
Any large tech company probably uses thousands or tens of thousands of open source components (because the licenses are well understood). Sone even support the projects officially, or unofficially by paying salaries to developers who contribute in their free time.

I like licenses that bind all users equally: whether you're a lone developer, a charity, or developing nukes. If you do not like a certain class of use using your software, then choose a license that matches your philosophy. One shouldn't piggyback on common licenses for popularity and then complain about users keeping to the terms if the license.
You can repeat that as many times as you want but it won't make it any more relevant.

Honestly. You know exactly you’d need to watch TV (a tuner). Or more accurately, if you have a TV, you really just need an antenna. If you don’t have a TV, then many (most?) local TV stations have a website with streaming video. This is especially true for news and weather. And if that all fails, you can get a network tuner/dvr that will stream broadcast TV to an app.

There are many options to get local TV/weather. Let’s not pretend that this is a problem without a solution.
Not the parent commenter, but I have had a complete change of self.

After my psychotic break and starting treatment for bipolar, I was a shell of a person. I had the opportunity to become anyone I wanted to be. I picked what I thought my best traits were from my last self and started on a journey of self discovery.

I vaguely remember my previous self and he had completely different motivations. The only similarities I recognize are things I decided to keep.

To keep this bit brief, my interests changed in ways I didn’t expect. My previous self would never have shamelessly written pornography.

My previous self used to care what people thought of him. I don’t. I only care about the consequences of how people see me. This doesn’t make a sociopath because I do care about how people feel. I want to communicate effectively. I try to tailor my actions so other people feel I am listening and that I care, because I do. My previous self wasn’t so explicitly and logically calculating about relationships.

My previous self was brutally honest. I try to be kind when confrontation or blunt honesty is necessary.

Overall, my maturity increased by about 20 years in the last 3 years. My previous self is a person I’m not fond of.

> IANAL But AFAIK in civilised jurisdictions if I offer a service for money, and you offer money, I must offer the service.

First off, you need to stop using the (incredibly loaded) word "civilized".

Second, I am not aware of ANY jurisdiction in which businesses are required to provide their services or products to anyone.

Third, THIS IS NOT AN "OUT OF CONTRACT CHARGE". This is a charge which IS IN THE CONTRACT.

Fourth, anti-discrimination laws have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with charging someone a fee when they don't pay you in a timely manner and/or cause you to incur higher costs (such as decline fees or NSF fees).
IMO, UNC's Dr. Bob Dennis' and Dr. Mark Tommerdahl's inventions are the most exciting and in my own experience have proven invaluable with mTBI.

There are a lot of replies and I can’t go through them all. But I think now is as good a time as any to start thinking about a free-as-in-speech-but-NOT-free-as-in-beer license.

Free for open source works really well for hosted pricing. I don’t know what legal barriers there are, but a free for open source/explicitly paid license for corporate use model would probably help alleviate a lot of this.

Edit: and of course such a license could waive fees for contribution, stewardship, good faith involvement that keeps the project healthy.

I humbly disagree, and if you have not competed at the pro level in an RTS (Starcraft is another absurdly hard game that requires hundreds of actions a minute) then I believe your view is skewed. When I code all day there are tasks I can auto pilot. Rebase from gerrit, an amend, maybe hunting down answers on Stack Overflow. Sure, I get that coding != video games. But the skills Tyler has or someone who plays as a pro Star Craft player are Masters at a craft that takes way more than auto pilot. In many cases it is physically demanding too and I think you’re giving the wrong impression. It’s not a game at that point, it’s a profession, and an absurdly tough one at that. Machines can beat people at chess. Our AI had struggled for years to beat humans at Star Craft. I find that inspiring, and am in awe some people can push themselves so hard to be that good.
