Worth noting that while there is a clear and measurable increase, the CDC makes a nonetheless significant error by assuming 2019 is the baseline when in fact we see a baseline increase every year even without other factors (both because of increasing population and because of slowing advances in medically extending lifespans).
Was it more about the building process for you or more about the usage afterwards?
I doubt either of those strategies will yield results. The RAV4 Prime and Ford Focus RS are 2 examples of many of cars that pretty much were never available for MSRP except from a select few dealerships. I'm sure a couple people will respond and say, "wait but I got a Prime at MSRP so that invalidates your comment!" Nope, they just got lucky or were OK calling 20 dealerships to find one that wasn't OK ripping their customers off.
I'm sure fewer coal power plants would have been built in China before the ban if it wasn't for Bitcoin.
What does Assange have to do with this area of geopolitics? I’m talking about how the gas supply risks limiting the room for maneuvers of European democracies.

10 minutes of meditation, consistently & properly performed once or twice a day over time does a lot more good than any temporary boost like a retreat. In Mindfulness in Plain English, Venerable Henepola Gunaratana says:

> When you first start meditation, once a day is enough. If you feel like meditating more, that's fine, but don't overdo it. There's a burn-out phenomenon we often see in new meditators. They dive right into the practice fifteen hours a day for a couple of weeks, and then the real world catches up with them. They decide that this meditation business just takes too much time. Too many sacrifices are required. They haven't got time for all of this. Don't fall into that trap. Don't burn yourself out the first week. Make haste slowly. Make your effort consistent and steady. Give yourself time to incorporate the meditation practice into your life, and let your practice grow gradually and gently.

The way 'mindfulness' is taught and the business of retreats and training gets in the way of the real work, which takes place every day and in normal life, a little at a time. It doesn't need to be complicated.
Well it sounds like you need to discuss things with your spouse. If she doesn't want to stop buying sugary crap, then ask them to put it in a locked cupboard, and them to keep the key.

If your spouse doesn't want to collaborate with you on your goals and things related to your health, then you have some serious discussions to have.

Does this data provide any support whether vaccines could be or not be a contributor?
Because it takes a dedicated team reviewing commands all day, every day, and dev team implementing event handlers, coordinating with other product teams. It takes lots of dedication.

I used to run a chatbot that screened people. We thought we were asking simple enough questions, and yet two million chats in, we still discovered at least a Dozen unexpected/misdetected intents that required care. A day. And here is the problem: management will ask: "so if we add handling for 'rotate the map 30 deg', how many people will appreciate it?". The answer is usually "one person every 400k sessions". For an MbA trained manager that means there is no reason to do it. And its the same with every other similar discovery.

Running an NLP based tool requires staffing a 10-20 people full time, telling them to keep the quality high and leaving them the fck alone. Thats anathema for most companies that proclaim to be "metric based". Google is a prime example of this behavior.
As others point out here, this is a literary construction flagging that in his specific context, he is not referencing old people. He is making the very point that he is above accused of not making. Just as if I were to chop the quote in your sentence “this part may have been added by a reporter” (which is not a self-reference to your own quote possibly having been edited by a reporter), the context is important. The reporting here is causal but being able to interpret such statements is part of basic reading comprehension.
> What I meant is that when working on certain features you will need to understand it all to implement it.

That's more or less true regardless if you're soloing a project or on a team. Depending on the design. It's true, you do sometimes, for a period of time, have to keep several things in your head at the same time, but how the code base, class, function, or whatever, is structured, can increase or lessen this cognitive load. There's many ways to skin this cat. Generally you shouldn't have to keep more in your head than the current module. It's all about encapsulation. Do you need to understand just the interface, or the implementation as well? That's your choice, as far as how you design your codebase, since you're a solo dev.
Part of my point is that cryptocurrency as it stands really doesn't complement the normal financial system.

Your landlord isn't going to accept crypto for your deposit because it would require them to invest a great deal of time and effort to learn about how to use crypto, force them to accept additional risk (of e.g. having their coins stolen, of losing access to them), and give them marginal-if-any benefit.

And that issue generalizes to most cases you can think of: big institutions could figure out how to do Bitcoin, but won't want to (financial risk, legal risk, complexity, institutional conservatism), and most individuals won't or can't do it (are the sex workers excluded from the normal financial system supposed to figure out how public-key cryptography works?).

For these problems of interfacing with the normal system to disappear, crypto would likely need to become the predominant way many people exchange value - and that would be bad.

Or, alternatively, you could have most people do crypto through centralized platforms that abstract most of these problems away, which gives you many of the disadvantages of crypto without any of the permissionlessness.
No.

Formal as in listed on a faq. Not an obscure comment from pg. Generally I assume everyone respects freedom of speech to a reasonable degree with no censorship... and that is the general behavioral criteria I assume of any place in the united states.

CyberRabbi's definition of blocking is correct and what I've always seen commonly accepted.

Blocking means you don't know how long it'll take, and you want to wait for it to finish. The only safe assumption is that you cannot guarantee how long it'll take.

getpid is accurately therefore a blocking call. You don't know how long it'll take. You can profile and make best guesses, but you can never assuredly say how long it'll take.

Somewhat smaller denominator, sure, but changes in the numerator should also be smaller for similar reasons: healthier population, employed, therefore more shielded from socioeconomic stresses around the pandemic.

I sort of agree that the insurance financial risks associated with a low mortality population can be high in unusual situations, but it's not a blanket explanation for any particular situation.

What I'm saying is, a new language can use memory tagging more effectively, if it decides when to scramble a tag.
True, although it takes 5 seconds to access a simple IPA index and not much longer than that to look up a given sound. And once you do, you have a clear and (reasonably) exact specified sound, not an easily misinterpreted and inexact thing like "ah" or "ar" or whatever.

(1) Joins are a challenge to implement, particularly if CPU, network, and storage use matter. To get excellent results the database needs a query optimizer that can make a good guess of what query plan will be effective.

(2) There are many databases with other query languages that support joins, just a few are

https://www.arangodb.com/
https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-query/
https://docs.couchbase.com/dotnet-sdk/current/howtos/n1ql-qu...
https://neo4j.com/developer/cypher/

all of the above support some combination of document and graph models. All of them can be used in a way very similar to a SQL database. For instance you can stuff arangodb with 'flat' JSON documents that work like tables and also create RDF graphs structured like a relational database and write SPARQL queries.

In fact there is a close mathematical relation between SQL and SPARQL and those other query languages. For instance it is possible to write a schema that maps a set of relational databases to an RDF graph, then compile a SPARQL query into a process that runs SQL queries on multiple databases. Better than that the system can rewrite the SQL queries to implement powerful and efficient inference

A terrible shame. I used a BB10 and built a couple toy apps for it, but it was difficult to publish them from Brazil (and the market was, sadly, tiny). It was easier if you developed for Android, but still you’d need older APIs.

QNX is an amazing OS, a work of art. I learned C (and vi!) on it in the late 80s and it’s up there with zOS, and Solaris as my favourite proprietary OSs.
Regarding belly gains - my guess: you had a higher basal metabolic rate (BMR) during your last role given it was more physical. You have since reduced physical activity (exercise) and continued eating the same amount (or more). All the while your BMR is decreasing, and so you have gained weight, which for you is stored on your belly.

> And I wouldn't buy (let alone pay extra for) any first gen vehicle.

I generally agree with this. I'm curious where you draw the line though. This isn't Ford's first EV and other manufacturers have been building them for years. At what point should we acknowledge this is as a mature technology? I wouldn't hesitate to buy a car with a new ICE, what will it take for EVs to reach the same level of trust?
One thing I believe to be true: If you have a device near you, there is no amount of habit or self control you can enact to change the habits of using that device. The same with the type of device. If a device has internet capabilities, no amount of self control or habit forming will make you only use the reading app on that device. You will always lose the habit at some point.

A requirement for changing habits is changing the physical world. Picking a device with no internet browsing capabilities, like an e-reader or a physical book. Or going for a walk where you physically don't have your phone. Even putting a phone in the next room isn't enough, you have to be somewhere where you physically can't access the phone.

Humans are not capable of fixing attention habits in which the physical world is set up to make it feasible to lose your attention.

You can’t know what is in front of the other car or why the Tesla braked. It could have been passing a slower car or truck (likely given the situation as described). If that car swerved a bit into the Tesla’s lane, braking could have been the right choice.

The car behind is always responsible for maintaining distance.

Realistically, if the tesla felt squeezed by a car it was passing, going a bit onto the shoulder would have been what I would have expected from a human driver. But no auto steering, tesla or otherwise, is going to do that.

The guy told me this story as a way of warning me against ordered a car from this particular dealer. Problem is, the other Porsche dealer in the area I have heard different but just as terrible stories about. One was that they are selling cars as new that had already been put "in service" months ago, so if you bought from them without checking, you wouldn't get your full warranty period.

I've had plenty of terrible experiences with pretty much all local dealers I've dealt with, Audi, BMW, Ford, VW... dealers can get away with being terrible because they all are and there's nowhere to go.

Many "just works" things on the local network start failing for me when I'm using a VPN. Maybe check whether that's the reason. But yes, generally the reliability is so-so. Also, the feature to use Apple Watch to unlock the Mac or iPhone works mostly, at best.
Of course they're adding things to C++. They've been adding things to C++ for decades. I don't anticipate that slowing down for many years if ever. Watch Herb Sutter talking about the question of whether C++ is "finished" a few months back. Bjarne wants Unified Functional Call Syntax, which is the sort of crazy "automatic foot-shotgun" feature that C++ deserves and will fit right in†. Herb wants a pattern matching syntax which of course also de-structures, has overloadable typecasting and includes dynamic type ID as well because this is C++. There's no shortage of additions to C++

But C++ is too complicated and too unsafe. The only way to actually fix that would be to face the monster and slim down C++ and that would threaten backwards compatibility and thus can't be countenanced any more. In that same talk Herb talks about these big problems, claiming he's going to address them. But what he actually does is a sleight of hand trick. He redefines the problem. C++ isn't too complicated it lacks extra features that would make it more orthogonal. So adding yet more stuff to it will fix that. C++ isn't too unsafe it's just too easy to get things wrong, adding yet more stuff will avoid that.

Nobody should be convinced by this hogwash.

† UFCS says foo(a, b) and a.foo(b) are the same thing. In Rust you get one half of this coin, you can call any function at all as a free function, if you can write a.foo(b) there's a (verbose and usually not idiomatic) way to write foo(a,b) instead with the same effect. But you can't do the reverse because it would break a lot of Rust assumptions. In C++ today in most places you need to know whether to write foo(a, b) or a.foo(b) because only one of them will work.
"explain how Hong Kong will survive economically and resource-wise in this fantasy scenario. "

? How did Hong Kong survive before 1997 without being part of China ?

? How does Singapore, a small state exist without being part of a major nation ?

How does any nation 'survive' on it's own?

The question is upside down:

Hong Kong flourished while 'not being part of China'.

Now they are going downhill as 'part of China'.

The question is 'How will Hong Kong survive now that it's under the thumb of China'.

It probably won't - it will become a much less important city.

--- "There is no other way to describe this other than complete bullshit."

This is deluded. Probably from propaganda.

To believe that the obsequious and fearful 'kowtowing' by many in Hong Kong amounts to a real expression of their will, is not reality.

There is an easy solution: give Hong Kong the right to vote for itself, and elect it's own members of government as it chooses, not chosen by the CCP.

What are you afraid of?

That people would completely reject China given the chance?

That other parts of China would want to do the same?

It's probably true, and something to consider.
