Great read, and a nice way to honor Sidney Poitier. RIP.
I'm really curious to know what the typical percentage of sales come from BNPLs, if even in a specific industry. I also did my own quick research to find out how e.g. Klarna made money and was surprised at how much higher the cut is they take vs cards. But it makes sense since a lot of people probably use cards to pay the BNPL provider.

Another thing for users: BNPLs help you build up your credit. If you have a credit card that only has a limit of $200 and you want to buy something for $250, you can use the BNPL option and pay down the credit card each time the charge posts. You create a payment history. Europeans, I know this all sounds ridiculous to you, but we just love credit over here in the US.

I guess nowadays with Dosbox which even runs well on smartphones you could argue that DOS is quite portable.
Yeah--my car has an outside air temp thermometer. Big streets are a few degrees warmer than small streets. The only reasonable cause I can see is the heat is coming from the other cars. (Note that this isn't even in heavy traffic.)
Poland also has proportional representation. A 40% party will need to coalition with other parties if it wants to have enough votes to rule.
I still don't understand why it doesn't! So I still get bit from time to time.
The haphazard design of the LRNG has bugged cryptography engineers for awhile, but at this point it's also pretty well studied†. I would be careful with the assumption that something like Fortuna is a "published and reviewed specification"; Fortuna is really just a case study Ferguson and Schneier wrote in _Practical Cryptography_. It's not a standard, or the winner of some kind of RNG design competition.

There are standard RNG designs that NIST publishes, but they're low level, on the order of constructions, not whole system designs. A lot of the important details are OS-specific. It shouldn't make you more comfortable to hear that a system uses something like HMAC_DRBG; that detail doesn't tell you a whole lot about how the system as a whole works.

† See, for instance: https://eprint.iacr.org/2013/338.pdf --- skip to Section 5 for a pretty detailed description of the LRNG.
Is this why I can't get last place? :-)

I wanted to see how many "levels" there were so I started to click the button repeatedly just to end the game. Then I noticed the "you did better than X%" message. I can't get first but can I get last!?

Even using keyboard events, it still says I'm better than 1%. Either someone is still...more wrong/faster...or 1% is the lowest it can go? Haha!
Hm, but I thought that this corrupt medical company with a history of lying to increase profits had our best interests in mind.
Any individual at any level can make an impact.

My issue is that this article emphasizes how to go with the flow of an existing system. It also implies that changing the system is outside the reach of ICs.

Not only do I believe partially changing the system is not outside of the realm of ICs, I've rarely seen successful engineers who didn't do it when necessary. If an engineer only feels comfortable changing the system when they're promoted into an official title, they are still operating on the tracks laid down by others. They'll be incapable of altering fundamental flaws or making fundamental improvements.

More specifically here, I think the apologia for this very specific (and exhausting!) list of procedures for how to navigate company politics indicates not just a specific career on autopilot, but a whole company on autopilot. I can't imagine an environment like this that is high performance.

I read the law, and... wow. Talk about nannying. The whole law basically amounts to "the government needs to impose more control and restrictions in order to keep citizens safe"

> Retail Gasoline Dispensing Safety Act

> a. Because of the fire hazards directly associated with dispensing fuel, it is in the public interest that gasoline station operators have the control needed over that activity to ensure compliance with appropriate safety procedures, including turning off vehicle engines and refraining from smoking while fuel is dispensed.

> b. At self-service gasoline stations in other states, cashiers are often unable to maintain a clear view of the activities of customers dispensing gasoline, or to give their undivided attention to observing customers; therefore, when customers, rather than attendants, are permitted to dispense fuel, it is far more difficult to enforce compliance with safety procedures

> c. The State needs stronger measures to enforce both compliance by customers with the ban on self-service and compliance by attendants with safety procedures

> e. Exposure to toxic gasoline fumes represents a health hazard when customers dispense their own gasoline, particularly in the case of pregnant women

This is so wrong and a huge misunderstanding.

If the state has such a stranglehold on the public channels then that is the underlying problem. It would have the same control over private media if it needed to.

Public media and/or limited state support for private news media is absolutely vital for a functioning democracy.
I was pretty sure codeberg has their own server software, maybe I'm thinking of something else.
Hey everyone, glad you all are enjoying the project!

To address some of the points I'm seeing, it's not perfect right now, which is why we've considered this a beta release. In particular, there are some issues around name coverage abroad and around engineered features (dams, canals, etc.). A lot of known issues are documented at the top of this page: https://ksonda.github.io/global-river-runner/. Ultimately, we made as much progress as we could, including a lot of manual name suggestions before launching, and decided to publish the tool in beta, with an understanding that we'd take suggestions and otherwise work to improve the tool/data over time.

To the points about the distance the paths are starting from a click, it does round coordinates to some extent. As much as I'd like to be more exact, we're stuck with a limited number of "flowlines" in our dataset and it will look for the closest one, which isn't always as close as we'd like. It's most useful for understanding watersheds in broad strokes, but often falls a little short when it comes to the novelty of literally tracing from your address.

For both specificity and some of the canal issues, the US-only version of this tool is better than this one (https://river-runner.samlearner.com/) with the obvious limitation that the paths are only within the US.

If you have any issues/feedback/suggestions regarding the UI and have a minute, would really appreciate if you're able to submit them as issues in the project repo on Github: https://github.com/sdl60660/river-runner If you're experiencing routing/naming issues, you can submit issues in this repo: https://github.com/ksonda/global-river-runner

Again, thanks for giving the project a look! You can check out some of my other work here: https://www.samlearner.com/ or on my Github (https://github.com/sdl60660).

I'd also like to shout out other other people who worked to make this happen: Dave Blodgett (https://github.com/dblodgett-usgs), Kyle Onda (https://github.com/ksonda), and Ben Webb (https://github.com/webb-ben).

No, we’re not. Walrus, in loops, IME, is more for replacing this pattern:

while True:
myvar = get_it()
if not ok(myvar):
break
# code that uses myvar

with this pattern:

while ok(myvar := get-it()):
# code that uses myvar
As you said, it would be more trouble than it's worth to use, say, an FPGA in place of an original AGB-CPU part. Additionally, our part of the community has an appreciation for the original hardware and components; it's more about being able to rescue parts from damaged PCBs and/or push those original components beyond what Nintendo settled on.
The FDA generally would only review the summaries, not the full patient information.

A lot of those 450,000 pages are careful patient documentation that simply isn't necessary when you already have the total side effect counts.

At most the FDA might review the clinical history of the patients with severe side effects. They aren't going to be reading the notes about every Bob Smith reporting fatigue after getting a COVID-19 vaccine.
> So yeah, lower.

Not sure what math you are doing. In fact, as of today, 83% of Ontario's cases are vaccinated while 78% of the population is vaccinated with cases being at an all time high for the past month.

> No, it's like 6x lower.

No it's not. As of today 71% of hospitalizations in Ontario are fully vaccinated. The rate per 100k for unvaccinated is 16.01, 11.66 for fully vaccinated and 12.88 for partially vaccinated.

So 16.01 / 11.66 = 1.4.

In Toronto, 77% of hospitalizations are fully vaccinated.

> No, I'm rejecting your antivax nonsense. Trying to say "no this isn't a vaccine so I'm not really antivax" is the trick you're trying to pull and I won't let you lie about that.

Please don't bother replying as you are more interested in inflammatory language than stating facts.

Explicit variable declaration is just adding a keyword (such as var or let) when you're declaring a new variable instead of modifying one.

The cognitive burden of having to memorize and look for which variables are new vs which are being modified is simply not worth it in my opinion, even for a scripting language. Maybe for esolangs, simple math or first time learning programming.

In any case, it's a short coming of the language (IMO) but not a deal breaker. We learn to live with it.

There have been successful FOI requests in other countries. Japan managed to get Pfizer to cough up some of their animal testing research https://files.catbox.moe/0vwcmj.pdf which has measurements of the lipid nanoparticle concentration in the brain, eyes, ovaries, etc. Does anyone know if there are similar measurements available for conventional vaccines? Since it'd be nice to be able to compare these numbers to something.

Yeah the tool struggles a lot with engineered features (dams, canals, etc.) and Chicago is really our quintessential example of this (issue documented a little here: https://ksonda.github.io/global-river-runner/). The US-only version of this tool (https://river-runner.samlearner.com/) is a lot better with the Chicago routes and is generally a little better with routes in the US.
Well, I guess it's true for most language that productivity is intended to be a key element of design. (For python, definitely. But I also remember James Gosling saying this about Java.) This implicit concatenation seems to come (inherited?) from C.

I kind of remembered that some languages do support it for braking strings into multiple lines conveniently. I'm a bit surprised that it works even on line (I've never used it, because why would have I), but you'll likely to make the mistake on multiline statements anyway. I've also checked and it doesn't work in java (which I kind of remembered, though I mostly do python these days).

Yeah, so long as it's not too extreme you can wrap up against cold. There's nothing you can do against heat. My idea of ideal weather is the coolest place where I don't need to contend with snow accumulation.
These are all valid considerations, but I think you're overestimating the level of equivalent judicial the USSC has for example

The ECJ decisions are actually more like recommendations on how the local courts should act.

Countries that don't follow the rulings can't complain if they're suspended from EU resources and mechanisms while that is not solved, like having their exports blocked, be removed from Schengen, etc. (And if they don't like it they're free to complain to the walls since they don't recognize the ECJ...)
Maybe somehow asking the question “Will this pump up a $50 hold or a $100 hold on my card, because I only have a $75 balance and a $100 hold would create an overdraft fee”.

This game really lacks realism.
I highly doubt its actually about safety and more about just making jobs.
Ubiquity isn't the requirement here, since the use case under discussion isn't buying pre-charged batteries at the local brick and mortar store, but merely easy sourcing of a replacement rechargeable battery when the existing one will no longer hold a charge. 18650s are certainly commoditized enough to fulfill that purpose, unlike proprietary LiPo packs.
A lot of project maintainers are very open to people porting their project to other distribution methods.

As long as you setup CI, it should be pretty self maintaining in most cases too.

No experience building AppImages but if it's something you can contribute to projects, that is the best way to see more of them in use. This is a big part of how a lot of apps got on flatpak.

> You sound..

Is sounds entitled b/c you paraphrased it uncharitably.

I didn't ask for "any spec" - there's a big (Hippocratic) difference between dictating what form something comes in, and asking that it do no harm. A poison cupcake, much like a poorly secured software, could wipe out any benefit it brings.

Also, I'm not demanding anything: feel free not to produce anything; But if you do, make it reasonably secure, or clearly/explicitly communicate that is it insecure; in the same way websites are (supposed) to seek permissions for cookies rather than assume them.

The context of "or Microsoft won" is that MS pushed the idea that FOSS could not be trusted without legal liability - this essentially makes that case.

I provided a few example of where people are expected to do things without being paid, do you also refuse to do those things?
Right. I'm not clear on what the patent covers, it can be anything from too broad to very specific. My opinion changes depending on what it covers.
Working on adding some ability to view upstream paths, but there are a lot of complications with that and it would probably be limited to the US for now. That's the next major item on the to-do list, though.

But the only proof this guy has is that 1) he sent unsolicited bug reports and 2) got an email from a ProtonMail email address with an employee's name calling him a terrorist.

Which seems more likely?

A) The NetApp employee with his personal ProtonMail account went out of his way to email this guy racist things calling him a terrorist.

B) This guy made it all up for fake internet points and/or sue the company.
Pessimist opinion? They didn't. The FDA has people move to private enterprise (https://www.cnbc.com/2019/06/27/former-fda-commissioner-scot...) and vise versa (I don't have sources, but I would be shocked if it didn't happen).

To that end, my (pessimist) opinion is that there were likely some financial incentives for the FDA to uh...gloss over 60% of that 450,000.

You're talking about dual licensing. There are examples of it being used, such as with Qt and MongoDB. Companies will pay for support licenses and to mitigate legal risk. I've observed that large companies are bureaucratic to the extent that it's cheaper for them to buy a license than to spend the money to convince stakeholders in the company that it's not needed.

The issue with copyleft licenses is that you cannot integrate community contributions to your product that were made under the copyleft license.
Ha! The US story was completely different, there. I was very jealous of the UK music scene for years. Then Deadmau5 and Skrillex showed up and suddenly... a niche interest became a mainstream one circa 2010.

Just look at Winter Music Conference attendance as a gauge... it was basically an underground scene for its first 2 decades... https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=125237...

We're talking about a country where Disco Demolition Night was a huge thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disco_Demolition_Night And the backlash persisted for decades. Also, this is so effing American, sigh (everything from media preying on rock-fan fears that "disco is taking over," to using explosives to "blow up" the records, to it starting a riot, to the not-very-hidden homophobia and masculine insecurity, to...)

But me? I've been into this stuff since listening to Kraftwerk in the 80's on one of the first Walkman knockoffs in the high school cafeteria! I never cared how cool (or not) it was, I just loved the beats.

And yet, interest in dance music has been the butt of American media jokes in movies and elsewhere for a long time.

Related: I was once in New Orleans not long ago and asked a bartender where the electronic music venues were and he goes, "you don't LOOK like a f_g..." (sorry about language, but that's literally what he said, sigh) At least in New Orleans, that music is TIGHTLY associated with a certain orientation and NO ONE outside of that orientation listens to it. It's weirdly rigid. But I digress

Considering that the social angle was not what people bemoaning the lack of updates for Reader, then its shutdown, complained about? I don't think that was the majority usage by far. You (and the two people responding to that effect) may be literally the first people I've seen bring up the social functions of Google Reader in conversations and articles as something they missed since it shut down.

That said, if you want a social network, they exist. If you want an RSS reader, they exist. If you think reading web pages and adding feeds to an RSS reader is going into "the wilds", you may not want the latter.
