How do you use SES for this? It seems to only allow receipt of email conveniently. Sending seems to require using an api which is not something most people want to do to email others.
Completely agreed. But likely many many times faster to write. Just depends what youre optimizing for.
This looks fantastic, I happily began a monthly donation this year as I finally feel I have the funds to do so. Awesome project.
Fully agree. Bad LSD trip changes your life dramatically. Bad shroom trip (example took way too much and end up in a never ending panic of “will this ever end?!”) has no long term negative effects.

I also feel instantly better, smarter, happier, etc for weeks after shrooms. Don’t feel that all on LSD.
It's sort of a self reinforcing problem though - a lot of studies trying to understand biochemical mechanisms are taking our existing subpar labels at face value. They generally don't have the sample size to get remotely close to detection of the probably double digit distinct disorders that are making up the "Autism" group. And that is further complicated by natural heterogeneity found even in control groups.

Personally I think coming up with better behavioral characterizations will be an important intermediate step to identifying bio mechanisms, because it leads to much more tractable lines of questioning. For example, we could be quantifying symptoms like rigidity and repetitiveness of movement, sleep quality, sensitivity in different sensory domains, etc. - which should be increasingly feasible to do at scale these days.

The level of propaganda (censorship and sponsorship) of the West (BBC, CNN, etc., if that could be called propaganda) is nowhere comparable to the level of propaganda in China (CGTN, CCTV, etc.), and this is the reason that generally the West has free press while China does not.

See my other comment [1] for some pointers to the level of propaganda (censorship and sponsorship) in China (e.g., police tracking journalists and deleting photos for no reasons, sponsoring YouTubers with special arrangements), which clearly has no equivalent in the West.

This is why people generally trust BBC, but not media in China.

> and almost none of it can be written off an unimportant.

I just wanted to say that this is immensely under-appreciated, even by most people in the field. The more you learn, the more you realize that everything matters and every little bit of knowledge connects to a bunch of other knowledge.

Most people in undergraduate classes ask "what part of the textbook is important" or "what part of this is on the exam", or even "what part of this will I need to know for my job", but they have the wrong attitude altogether.
Team Viewer is the best option I'm aware of. What security issues are you worried about? No remote system will be perfect, but anything put together yourself is (I suspect) much more likely to break than TeamViewer.

Consider having back up options -- if they have an iPhone or tablet, remember they can always point the computer at the screen as a last minute option.

All of my experience with working at or with restaurants suggests they deserve to lose their license, but this issue is worse than most.
My "real" advice for impatient programmers: just start programming, and every time you encounter a problem google it.

Don't know how to setup node.js? Google should lead you to `npm init` or a starter. Getting some weird syntax error? Google it. Once you learn the basics, want to do X? Google it and determine a) how to do X, or b) if X can't be done / is bad practice.

Just by diving head-first into whatever you're trying to accomplish (or a toy project if you just want to learn), eventually you'll start to get the hand of syntax, libraries, and general programming style. But read articles every once in a while on best practices so you aren't learning the "wrong" way to do things.

The big drawback is that there are a lot of Google results that are outdated, novice, or flat-out wrong. You have to really learn how to do research on the internet. But this is a skill you should learn because you can apply it to anything. My general advice: consult official docs whenever possible; Stack Overflow is reliable but check the answer's comments to see if it's outdated; use Reddit to compare X vs. Y; try to avoid long wordy articles on bloated sites, generally the better the writer = the better the article and more likely it's accurate.
The War on Drugs has failed a long time ago though, and I thought it was obvious. Such crimes exist because of the War on Drugs. That said, legalization is not enough. If the taxes are too high (as it happened to be the case in California for weed), then you will still have a black market for this white powder.

There is black market here for meat, too.
There are so many varieties of psychedelic shrooms. Some don’t have strong visuals, some can make you hallucinate far beyond the capabilities of LSD.
Because all my passwords in the vault are strong and unique. Because my master password is a massive pass phrase not subject to the vagaries of limits on passwords many sites have and I literally keep it locked in a vault. So it is exponentially better than any alternative I have found [edit] for the cost and effort.
How is this inconsistent with “Teams is awful, and we avoid it as much as possible”?
But if you even notice the (thin, dark?) bit of cord between a guy's wrist and laptop computer when he's working on it at a table in the library, wouldn't your first assumption be that he's a bit paranoid about having it stolen and therefore has strapped it to himself by the Kensington Lock slot? So you'd be quite OK with stretching it as far as it goes -- only noticing later that in this case you could "stretch" it beyond that, popping out the USB connector. (Actually, wouldn't a lot of people in a position to do this be only too happy to give it an extra forceful yank, just to hurt the Eevul Hacker?)
Do you mean influence in the sense of how often they are mentioned in media? I heard Bill Clinton is Jesuit.
It means that someone was paid to talk, because radio dies hard.

The idea that commentary should be informative and that content can speak for itself is (still) deeply threatening to many folks in the broadcast industry. See any sports broadcast for examples.
Thanks for clarifying. This also highlights the lack of sufficient testing, and subpar processes, eg automation should be tested against critical paths, and changing a license should require human approval.

After pushing through Brexit and involuntarily causing Scotland to drop out of the EU that won't go down well, I guarantee it.

Calling it illegal is already pushing it, and will likely result in more votes to secede rather than less. A couple of hundred years of Scottish history are testimony to that being a country that you don't want to push around too much or it will surely backfire.

Unless you want to suggest that UK would go to war or try to economically strong-arm Scotland into staying in the Union but I don't think even Johnson and his merry band of robbers is going to go that far and without enforcement the term 'illegal' holds no power.
Yes and they also say:

> Disentangling precisely what has been caused by the pandemic and what is the result of Brexit is difficult.

In no way do they do that. They are attributing Brexit as the cause without any proof.

They only note the decrease, they don't link it to Brexit. You can't directly compare 2021 to pre-pandemic levels because economies were shut down.

These decreases are caused by the pandemic, in no way does the article link Brexit to these numbersl
Reading C++ is commonly much harder than reading C in my experience. Seeing as I read more than write code it heavily biased me towards C.
Do you mean to say that autistic people, or those with autistic traits who are not outright autistic, should not reproduce (with each other), because of the risk their children may be autistic?

Especially here, when the smoking gun is a change to an MIT licensed project. One of the torch-holding commenters remarked that developers at Microsoft ought to know enough about how licenses work to know what a big deal this was. Physician, heal thyself.

The docking attachment was originally planned but there's been no mention of it in the last 10 years or so and no pictures of such an attachment point. They probably de-scoped it.
Maybe, but too many think that visiting a resort town in a far flung country has given them a meaningful experience of "otherness" as if those same resorts weren't purpose built to coddle to foreigners being out of their element.

And even if you do fall through the tourism system and find yourself elbow to elbow with a native, the thought that you as a foreigner will unlock their culture in handful of days when most natural born members of a group will be learning their own eccentricities to the day they die is one of the more disgusting flavors of arrogance.
I did warn everyone that Microsoft has gotten smarter and is 'using' open-source and Linux for EEE. We know how they embrace and extend.

Extinguish basically now means:

'We fork the best open-source tools and they sit on our cloud and are more secure and scale better than if you self-hosted it, and is completely free to use.'

Paid competitors can't compete or will struggle to compete with free, given that it is open-source and more secure and is sitting on the cloud and scales. Lastly, nobody got fired for buying products with Microsoft® stamps.
There is a fair estimate in there, it doesn't need to be precisely for it to be usable. The consensus seems to be ~4% due to Brexit and ~2% due to COVID-19. You can dispute that if you want.
The reality is every step you took was observed and I would assume even where you slept both video and audio were recorded.
Churches Have Been Closed, but Their Artifacts Live On
Well this is an HN comment section not a serious attempt at solving the problem. I have no reason to try to convince you, nor the inclination to produce a satisfying argument. But perhaps you should be less dismissive of people claiming things on here if for no other reason that it's kinda toxic and unpleasant.

Anyway, maybe the number of posters who are complaining about Jetbrains products on here is evidence to you that our issues are not, in fact, imagined.

Also, as the other commenter said, there are always open issues when I go look for the things that I'm experiencing. That doesn't chain the experience on my side.
This is a nonsense meme. I used web message boards like ezboard in 1996.

If you read the article, you'll see that the difference in performance is not that huge:

> SPEC CPU 2017 2.62 (base) ~ 3.15 (peak) times slower

> PGbench/PostreSQL 1.7 (read only profile) ~ 3.3 (read write profile) times lower

So, Elbrus is just 2-3 times slower in these tasks than powerful Intel's CPUs that took millions of dollars to design. As Elbrus has lower clock frequency and larger process node, so this is expected. It is difficult to outperform a CPU that has smaller transistors and more of them; you need either to have more transistors or they have to be smaller; or both.

But Elbrus loses a lot in Java tests:

> Java 23 ~ 26 times higher response time

I guess this could be because Java JIT doesn't support Elbrus architecture.

I don't know what you expect to be done that hasn't been done already. Navajo Nation exists and it's 17,544,500 acres of land for the Navajo people. Native Americans qualify for college benefits that others with citizenship to the States do not qualify for. Compounding the dilemma of how a nation makes reparations for the sins of their mother's mother's mother's there just aren't many Native peoples left to make reparations to.

Your argument, at face value, offers little in the way of solutions. On the contrary, you make an enemy of my argument. Do you seek to apologize for the new makers of genocide today? Or what is the purpose of your comment?

Much as the Buddha focused on present action as a tool for change, that is what we must do now, collectively, so we do not repeat the atrocities of yesterday today.

As for the flagging, I believe HN auto-flags comments from new accounts that receive a large number of downvotes as an anti-spam feature.
For me it is whatever keeps me excited I went from ops to engineering to automation to data analytics and learning data analytics as I do my job. I take advantage of internal transfers and I am open about what my areas of improvement are when it comes to tech knowledge it didn’t stop managers from hiring me. Be honest with what you can and can’t do and don’t be scared to try new things and take opportunities within your own organization (much easier to go back to your previous responsibilities if things don’t workout)

I didn't understand that - "not a separate unit". What is the relation between Asperger's and Autism?
How has your experience been vis-a-vis Scala 2.x?
Your point appears to be "if you know the entire codebase, nothing is hidden." This is tautologically true of all languages. If you're accustomed to working on small projects, then that attitude will work out for you. If you work on large codebases, it isn't always so easy, especially if folks use a lot of template magic.

In your case, if a, b, and c are all the same type, then b+c can return a completely different type, and you'll need to track that down before you know what type a+(b+c) will have. And in that case, (a+b)+c can have a different type from a+(b+c). If you've memorized the associativity rules for the language, you'll know what to expect -- but it's not at all obvious from the notation.

And, sure. If you know absolutely everything about the language and everything about the codebase, you can make accurate predictions about the behavior of any given line. But if you're coming into a new codebase, there's no way to know at a glance what a given line of code is going to cost. That's what folks are calling hidden complexity.

Oh -- and thanks to the auto keyword, you don't always know the types of a, b, and c without hunting things down.
Look, if you want to argue that the UK is wealthier post Brexit then that's fine with me but you are simply out of touch with reality, besides that if the Union fractures - and there is a fair chance that it will - then none of this is more than noise, the end result of that will be a massive financial loss.

So you're welcome to your worldview but the reality is that the UK has just had one of the worst years in living memory and that the only dispute you might have is over how much of it is due to COVID-19 and how much due to Brexit. Since we have the rest of Europe as a baseline I don't think that that is undoable, and it doesn't look particularly good for the UK.
Sure, but seeking diagnosis from a trained professional should mean that the differences between those cases will be detected. I acknowledge that IRL it is a messy field and there is high variance in quality of practitioner. But seeking help shouldn't be discouraged. It should be up to the professionals to determine if someone actually has "Autism" or "something else" (or nothing). And also to do some amount of triaging! Criticism of the process shouldn't generally be targeted at individuals seeking help.
I still disagree with the argument that the religious affiliation of those taxpayers deserves a specific callout rather than any other characteristic.

I also disagree with the initial characterization that all Americans are Christian. Or that Christian messaging is somehow “American”. It isn’t. It is a harmful stereotype.

JWST is not about religion. Defending the directors poor choice of message with religious statistics reduces both American Christians and Americans in general to oversimplified caricatures.

Christianity and the JWST have nothing to do with each other. To claim otherwise is insulting to both Americans and any contributors to the JWST, including the international community.

Saying JWST is funded 63% by Christians is false anyway, the other contributors also have some amount of Christian affiliation. Further, why choose the religious angle? Why not say it was half funded by women? Or by some ethnicity? Any way you apply these statistics is going to be insulting because they are irrelevant. This is why the directors messaging is problematic.
Because it could be interpreted to imply that "even if your job isn't important, lots of us have jobs that are." I think it's the "truly" that makes it just slightly ambiguous. Maybe if they had said "also working" to make it sound like the audience was included in the statement, idk.

I don't think it was negative, but I can definitely see how someone could take it that way. I saw a glimmer of it.
That is a downside, though with 24GB of memory, there are certainly use cases where most everything is going to be cached in RAM anyways.

Makes me wonder if Microsoft GitHub should not make it a more
specific action to relicense a repo.

That would solve any ambiguities around the script Microsoft wrote.

"Are you sure you want to change the license?"
Yes / No.

Perhaps a specific API call when you are doing it with a script.
> Therefore, by the time the ambitious 32-core Elbruses arrive, chips from AMD and Intel will be orders of magnitude faster and more efficient in terms of performance-per-watt than they are today.

I think that is wrong assumption because CPUs nowadays don't become "orders of magnitude faster" in several years.
I may have misunderstood your point here, but I do not think the author intended to suggest that her situation was in any way a worst case, or to minimize the difficulties faced by others. On the other hand, I do think she was pointing out that terms like high or low functioning are not categories of the spectrum, and nor are they the sort of issue it is intended to differentiate between.
Depends. I had a mildly profound experience with 2.5g. I was alone in nature with my thoughts for 2 hours and came away with some nice revelations.
To be fair, this is not the New York Times. It is a blog where the above-the-fold post today is "What did we get stuck in our rectums this year?"
You can say everyone is unique (unique categories), but you can also say everybody is human (one category). Being gradients/spectrum _is_ the model. All models about life will be flawed, unprecise and pretty shallow. It's important to be aware of and avoid misuse and misapplications of such models. This doesn't mean you can never use any model. They are tools, and we must have awareness of their outcomes and shortcomings. Even simple models can have very complex outcomes in a complex world, or when dealing with individuals (singletons) vs populations (accumulations).
