This seems like a real sticking point for a lot of people. Personally, I don't seem to think about code volume in units of "lines" but rather in units of "complexity" and "locality". I would like to see Result and Optional types, but in practice everyone understands that (nil, err) is the same as Result::Err and that (*T, nil) is the same as Result::Ok. Of course, you miss out on monadic properties, but after extensively using the language, that's a feature 99% of the time. I would say give it a shot; I was skeptical at first, but this is surprisingly not an issue IMO.

The real issues (IMO) with Go error handling are the clunky `errors.Is()` and `errors.As()` functions for catching specific error values and types respectively as well as annotating errors to get the requisite context (this may already have a solution which just hasn't yet become idiomatic across the ecosystem). In the meanwhile, I just wrap errors with extra context which isn't super satisfying but largely does the trick, e.g., `return fmt.Errorf("writing to database: %w", err)`. Rust seems to have similar problems with respect to different patterns and libraries for error handling, despite having a standard Result type.

I saw this quote on a tombstone and it really resonated with me.

What is success?
To laugh often and much;
to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate the beauty; to find the best in others;
to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch Or a redeemed social condition;
to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.

-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

I think because it expressed something that I've felt but could never quite articulate - that there isn't one big well-defined reason for living but a bunch of little reasons that are all worthwhile.
Only if you think being dropped off on the corner of Walk and Don't Walk in a foreign country is boatloads of fun, as I do, employment in the Foreign Service of the US State Department. Barriers to getting in are rather high, however, and salaries, initially, are laughable, but you're not paying rent or utilities when you are overseas.

There is a pol/econ/mgmt track and a technical support track (where barriers are a bit lower) and is the route I took.

State has "diplomats in residence" at major universities. They'll be happy to chat even if you aren't a student.
For sure. Also related were all the deserialization attacks on various libraries that supported it in Java, Ruby and Python.
in california at least, we did exactly the wrong thing in this regard: we closed down all gyms for over a year, and even shut down outdoor recreational facilities, to the point that outdoor basketball rims, soccer goals, and tennis nets were removed, outdoor gym equipment chained, and outdoor trails were closed. it was beyond idiotic.
Assange is sort of my barometer for US politicians views on the 1st amendment. If they don't support a pardon, clemency, or an end to the harassing investigation into him then I know they are bereft of any moral compass and will happily shred the US constitution for campaign contributions.

I can think of several things that may have contributed. In no particular order.

* Their application business lost out to Microsoft many times over the years. (Sidekick, Quattro, Sprint, etc.)

* The availability of free and open source development tools went way up. (This undermined the ability to make money selling development tools, even as they become more expensive to develop.)

* They lost Anders Hejlsberg to Microsoft. (His Microsoft resume is a testimonial to his skills, technical and otherwise, but prior to that he was the driving force for the Turbo Pascal line through Delphi. They did diversify, but Turbo Pascal really was Borland's core asset.)

* Developer mindshare pivoted away from client apps to web apps.
Are you saying that just because they released truthful information that was supplied to them (and it happens to be against your preferred side of the political spectrum) they are guilty of propaganda, or is there any proof that wikileaks rejected authentic documents concerning "the other side"?
If she's not adequately paying the costs, that issue should be resolved directly.

But business deductions aren't really avoiding taxation. It's more accurately calculating your profits so the taxation can be calculated.
In a similar vein, people using scientific facts in non-scientific conversations. The amount of times I've heard "well the SCIENCE tells us..." in a moral debate is mind boggling.
Depends on who you ask. USD supply has quadrupled since 2008, but we've experienced almost 0 inflation until the last few months.
I always compare this case with Pinochet, when he visited the UK and a Spanish court asked for his extradition for crimes against humanity. Of course, he wasn't and returned to Chile.

"Supports single payer healthcare" is used against Sanders in the primary to instill fear in Democratic primary voters that he'll be too far to the left for moderates and then lose to a Republican. It wouldn't be effective, or attempted, if he was already the President.

They could easily have used the same style of attacks that were used against Trump. "Kids in cages" was the case under Obama, and Trump, and Biden, but we only heard about it under Trump.

They wouldn't have used the same issues because those are the issues you use against a Republican, but the same format works against anyone. Under Sanders there would have been huge concerns about the deficit. Any tax increase impacting the middle class would be condemned but the middle class would inherently have to pay more to have single payer healthcare, so you fight it with "tax increase bad" not "healthcare bad." Not having to pay health insurance premiums would either be ignored or condemned as a giveaway to employers.

They'd find some black families who support school vouchers to go on TV and accuse him of being a racist for supporting existing "racist public schools" and things along those lines.

The general idea is to be horrified to learn that things that have been happening for years have suddenly been discovered happening under the target administration, but choose the things related to the direction they want to move. As if the Overton window is not only not covering what they want to change, it no longer even covers the status quo, and we have to go in the opposite direction or he's literally Hitler (or, presumably, Stalin). So you burn up all their political capital just to stand still while turning the viewer against them no matter what they do. Then four years later the status quo remains intact.

It might have saved them to go with the JetBrains model of a free "Community" edition along with paid supported options but that's probably not a jump that the uninspired management would have been willing to make.
His point is that fines are tax deductible. It's logical from an accountant point of view, but indeed absurd from a human point of view.
Correct. Also, when I lived there, they didn’t have those lights. There was a crosswalk, but crossing vs 3 lanes of traffic each direction with no pedestrian island felt like playing chicken with every driver at once. Did it a couple times to try and make walking work, but it was clearly dangerous.
As awful as the cops relatively often are, I've never heard of one "accidentily" killing a bunch of kids because they were near a white pick-up truck. The wrong pick-up truck by the way, it didn't even have terrorists in it.

And that's just one example from dozens many we only know about because of Assange's hard work.

And with regards to the enemies of the U.S., and their "rules of engagement" it's quite likely they don't adhere to any, but I don't know how much worse that is than "attack without warning on there being a 1/100 chance of you being a terrorist who is not even near any US asset".
I don't think it's more of a final boss thing: IMO working with embeddings/word vectors is easier, even in the basest case such as word2vec/GloVe, to understand than some of the more conventional NLP techniques (e.g. bag of words/TF-IDF).

The spaCy tutorials in the submission also have a section on word vectors.

You can frequently avoid paying taxes, but only at the cost of paying more money than your taxes would have been. It is usually preferable to pay the taxes instead.

Housing prices have only gone up for people that have purchased a new house this year. For people already living in a house, mortgage payments have mostly been stable, or possible even lower, when refinancing for a lower rate. So i can imagine that the average housing costs have only gone up 3.8%.

Are you sure about this? I actually looked into this not too long ago and that theory no longer seems well supported.

Oil forms when sea plankton and algae are buried and exposed to high pressures and heat. Coal forms when dead plant material protected somehow from biodegredation (say by mud) forms peat and is then buried, and exposed to high pressures and heat.

I was also surprised to learn that the inabality of fungus and bacteria to degrade lignin is unlikely to have been a key driver of coal formation during the Carboniferous period, instead it was "a unique combination of everwet tropical conditions and extensive depositional systems during the assembly of Pangea".

That should be expected after having decades of free movement of capital, free movement of goods, but restricted movement of people. That maintains labour arbitrage which leads to wealthy countries becoming wealthier
Well, for example, people and companies could target any of the employees directly, who work on those kinds of deals.

Target them personally, make them personally responsible for the actions that they did while thinking that they were some faceless entity in the machine, and make them toxic entities to hire or work with.

Sure, the company itself might be able to insulate itself from consequences, but not the individuals themselves. It would make people think twice about the actual negative effects of their actions, if they knew it would put them on blacklists.

Companies are run by people. It is not some faceless AI. Instead, decisions are made by individuals. And individuals are vulnerable.

It seems possible to me that folks who are still watching tv are more accepting of ads, whereas the folks who aren't/weren't moved to something else.
You know why politicians don't state these obvious facts? Because they don't want to lose votes.

Most fat people probably don't like hearing wealthy skinny politicians with personal chefs and trainers telling them to lose weight. Doesn't score well with the focus group I guess.

No TV, big sticker saying 'no print advertising' on my mailbox, adblocked and jsblocked to the hilt on all computers in the house (I see that as a sanity and a security bonus as well), no physical newspaper.

Exactly this.

Pascal was a great language, and I wonder how much we've lost by having it go by the wayside. It was strongly-typed, easy to read, cross-platform, produced native executables, and was lightning fast to compile and execute.

I say "was" a great language because it isn't widely used today. I miss it.

I would argue we bother with the sham because it is superior to the alternatives, the issue is human nature prevents us from ever truly reaching an ideal society. As long as there is someone standing is 3ft of shit for us to laugh we are comfortable and happy despite the fact that we ourselves are standing in 2ft of shit.
This is overall a comparison of "Purchasing Power Parity" which suffers from a few gotchas.

One thing that complicates this is the value of services provided 'for free' by a person's government. The average citizen of the USA lives on $75 per day, but might use another $10 per day of interstate highways paid for by the government - something the citizen of Burundi doesn't get.

Likewise, the Danish citizen lives on $50 a day, but may be receiving a free college education and healthcare while the US citizen spends a substantial fraction of their income on those two.

> The thing about car dominant spaces is that they force things to spread out, which reduces efficiency.

In an already built city (or neighborhood), removing space for cars isn't going to snuggle the existing buildings together. It will rarely permit another building to be built between existing buildings where that's not possible today.

I think what this kind of dollar-centered analysis obscures is the accessibility of the basic goods that enable life: food, water and housing. Sure in a country classified as "poor" by this analysis you might not be able to import the finest cheeses from France or latest and greatest electronics from the US, but perhaps it is easier to feed, cloth and house a family.

> To achieve a more equal world without poverty the world needs very large economic growth.

I don't understand how this follows. Our global economic system is structured to concentrate wealth, so there is no guarantee that growth benefits the poorest.
Inflation is worse depending on your region. If you live in a coastal state, you are experiencing less inflation than if you live in the flyover states.

Texas in the summer is not only hot, but humid. Humidity on a typical summer day falls in the range between "miserable" and "oppressive".

Physical exertion when the dew point is in the upper 70s is simply unhealthy. It's a bad idea.

> Am I wrong to think of metal deposits as just "rust mixed with rock"?

They're concentrated rust mixed with rocks, otherwise it's not economically viable to extract.

Like, iron is ridiculously common, relatively speaking: on earth as a whole it's more common than oxygen, for the crust it ranks 4th at 5% by mass, meaning if you went at it randomly you'd need to sift through 20kg of materials to get 1kg of iron.

Currently, we exploit formations as low as 15% iron (banded iron formations / taconite), that's the lower limit of the economically feasible, and those results in absolutely enormous amounts of tailings (waste materials).

Pre-industrialisation, unless you had no other choice (e.g. only had ironsands to work with) you really wanted to exploit natural (or "direct-shipping") ores, in the 60~70% range, the extraction is way too much work otherwise.
Yes they are, in a sense that the outstanding mortgage debt grows at a slower pace than inflation.

However the 3% is guaranteed for ~30 years, so it's likely the bank would still come out ahead in the long run if inflation settles down. It's also not an infinite money slot machine -- you can only qualify for so many mortgages (which require large down payments) and houses are pretty illiquid assets.
I check it every couple of months but still no IPv6 for me. And I'm supposedly near people who have managed to get it to work.

It looks like this script is using the standard Faker module email generation, which will generate email addresses exclusively with domains at example.net, example.com, and example.org.
It also attaches the exact same .png [0] for the resume in every fake application. So these should be pretty easily filterable based on those 2 facts alone.

Additionally, there are plenty of red flags that any human reviewer would quickly pick up with these applications. The addresses don't exist. The random prior occupations it submits are rarely in line with what you'd expect for these positions. The name generator is pulling random first names for the last name as well. And the randomly generated email addresses contain names that don't match the name on application. So, the script will submit an application for "Susan Justin," a former Surgeon with the email address ronaldbrewer@example.com, at an address that doesn't exist.

I'm sure this is a nuisance for the HR analyst who's the first line of defense in reviewing applications. And they might've had to bring in someone with more technical/fraud skills to help weed out the fake applications, but it seems quite manageable.
