I am not mentioning it. I can't think of any Western democracy who pays these people well, I don't see it as fundamentally undermining the point.

Of course they should be better paid. I hold a belief kindergarten teachers should be paid more than high school teachers, or at least as much.

If we want to die of lack of sanitation, not paying people to clean up is a good way of getting there faster. And so on: these low pay jobs are anything but unimportant: they're just jobs we don't seem willing (societally) to pay for or do, hence persisting underemployment by less educated and demotivated working classes in europe: intergenerational unemployment is a trap.
Node modules are usually on the local filesystem and load quickly, whereas loading an ES6 module in a browser requires a network trip.
There is no worker shortage. Otherwise wages would be increasing at a faster rate than inflation which is clearly not the case.

Immigrants will destroy Europe by turining it into a generic settlement area. Nobody needs that and nobody wants that except the enemies of the European people.
The larger worlds wouldn't even have to use larger tiles. Imagine you first create a "world" of tiles that describe biome. The tiles in this "world" set would be things like "plains", "mountain", "water", and obviously some transitions between these. Then for each pixel in the "world" you select the tileset probabilities by the kind of terrain that pixel represents, maybe with some influence from nearby pixels. This could of course be repeated as few or as many times as seems reasonable. For each level you go down the resolution would increase. If we stick to the 3x3 tiles from the original article we can then first generate a global "world" with 3x3 tiles, then populate each pixel in the "world" with a new 3x3 tile from the new set. So for each time you go up in resolution you 3x the size in each dimension.
Europe is a Ponzi scheme where by immigrants are pulled in en mass ever decade to provide fresh liquidity while the generational members of the country enjoy themselves and add zero value.

Unfortunately new immigrants have cottoned onto this and don't play the game that has been setup for them. They run their own separate economies and send most of their untaxed money back home.

For that reason, Europe is a terminal patient.

I'm trying to find out a similar solution these days and the best write-up on the topic I have found is here: https://debricked.com/blog/analyze-and-visualize-dmarc-repor...
Topologically, your mouth and anus are the same hole. Yet everybody count them as two holes.
100% agree. I was surprised that the population of people who would take such a quiz are actually 50/50 on this! I agree that the best basis for chickenhood is the genetic one you present, which implies that the egg came first.

Further, I think that the second-best argument is that the first chicken was the first animal to be called "chicken" by someone. In that case, that first chicken came from an egg, which was laid by something which was never called a chicken, hence not a chicken. The egg still came first.

Writing this now, it occurs that perhaps almost any satisfying definition of chicken implies that the egg came first. If you can define what a chicken is and you assume that chickens have not always existed, then it follows that there must have been a first chicken. If you assume that the first chicken hatched from an egg (if not, your definition of chicken is quite broad!), and that at the time it hatched, it was a chicken, then the egg came first. As above, there are reasonable ways for a non-chicken to lay an egg which hatches a chicken.

I don't see any good ways around "egg came first" other than a definition of chicken that allows a non-chicken to become a chicken after it hatches. You could argue that the first chicken became one the first time someone called it that. Okay, but that seems pretty slippery, because if, today, a chicken is born in the woods and no human is aware of it, it's actually not a chicken, merely a bird that might one day become a chicken.
I've seen some minimum wage discussions on general topic forums (e.g. news) where the top 40-50 comments were vehemently against raising it.

I suspect these were driven by bot votes.

I think this will be the way of going. It resembles me of having all server components all over the place creating a mess, and now we have Docker and Kubernetes. From what I see this would be a more lightweight version of containerization: not for VMs/services but for each JS package.
Any particular reason why? I’ve heard people complain about newer ThinkPads, but haven’t heard much negative about older ones, such as the one in this article.

They do seem to be very popular, and unfortunately for some operating systems they’re one of the few “safe” options with hardware support.

I personally haven’t found any particular laptop brand or model I particularly loved.
> So, a CPU upgrade? How is that not what OP mentions?

Are you asking how replacing the motherboard in a laptop with a custom third party hobbyist replacement is different from putting a faster CPU in a CPU socket?
Sure, but no floppy disk drive or headphone jack? Completely impractical.
If you mean Mac Pro and not Macbook Pro I wouldn't be that suprised. Single thread performance is mainly dominated by clock speed and possibly instruction set improvements. Having a much higher TDP there isn't much magic you can work to make a Laptop faster than a recentish desktop system.
I guess it depends on your comparison - that article didn't include Australia, NZ or Canada.

Also if you factor in earnings and expenses over a lifetime (including cost of studying and the fact that many of the countries mentioned have free healthcare and education and far lower insurance requirements) it evens out substantially.

More importantly, even the highest physician salaries are orders of magnitude less than insurance company CEO salaries.

Disclosure: I'm a physician, currently practicing in the US, previously in New Zealand and the UK.
This is an accurate recording of dog laughter:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIj4WAP6BaI

According to research[1] whispering while playing with your dog can initiate play more reliably. This is because our whisper is closer to the frequencies of their laugh. It is even more powerful than the play-bow.

It’s also the delay loop. If today I magically encourage people to have children, it’s 19 years until they hit 18, and probably another 5 until they are on average net productive. Also change doesn’t happen that quickly, so really a concerted effort today will maybe pay off in 25 years time.
Free also has been doing CG-NAT for years now.
I will go ahead and note that such a construction violates a ton of pronunciation rules. Yes english has those.
> I am a programmer, so my needs are not that high

This isn't true for all programmers. I'm a programmer, and until 3 years ago a good chunk of my day was spent waiting for compiles to finish.

> Or perhaps it is that after 12 years, the laptops are now on bar with desktops. I think the biggest improvements for me in last 20 years have been the SSDs and then the NVMe.

Not even remotely close. I have an AMD threadripper [0] in a desktop PC under my desk that I use for development. This is a mainstream, readily available x64 processor with 32 cores (and hyperthreading) that can sustain just 3.8GHz for at least 30 minutes (I've not pushed it any farther than that because I've needed to). Based on PassMark benchmarks [1], the threadripper is substantially quicker than the M1 Max.

I had a visitor over the holidays who needed to work but didn't have a laptop. I had 2x old T420 (released in 2011) so I combined the RAM and did a fresh OS install. My only hassle was finding a DP cable. Other than doubling the RAM, this was still a stock machine from 2011. CPU benchmark scores for this T420 are comparable/better than sub-£400 new x86 laptops available at big box stores which was the other short-term option. Our visitor has had no issues with the T420 for Zoom calls, Chrome and other general stuff. I sold the RAM-less T420 and was informed that it was up and running with fresh RAM at its new home.
It's not just about your own server sending and receiving mail.

If you've ever gotten loads of mailer-daemon bounces for emails that you didn't send, then a spammer has been using your address(es) in the "From" header.

It just feels like the allegations speak more of the character of the allegers than the alleged. Why pick on disgruntled workers? This has a faintly quaint air to it, a real Sacco and Vanzetti vibe. I wonder what the accusers think of Dilbert or Office Space. Or more pertinently, of Occupy Wall Street, which was but ten years ago.
I like to buy ex-corporate ~5 year old Thinkpads, get from a seller who gives atleast 6 months warranty, put new batteries in and they are usually far better in every way than anything new for the same price. Am currently very happy with my T460S, runs Linux or Win10 great. My previous machines that the kids use for school work and Roblox are x250 and x220, and previous to that I have an X200 and a T61, that all lasted atleast 5 years in my ownership, over 10 years old before they were sold on. I have noticed since my X200 a slow and steady decline in toughness (I presume in exchange for compactness). You do have to pick carefully, some models have terrible trackpads, often the base LCD screens are terrible for brightness and viewing angle, so you need to ensure you get the upgraded ones (eg IPS and/or higher resolution).
And who decides the consequences? Who executes the sentence? What makes GitHub the judge, jury, and executioner?
Or use it for an eGPU connector, I believe there were also options to use it as additional storage
Now, to make it more messy. Are we talking about Chicken egg or Chicken's egg? That is an egg which from chicken came from or egg produced by a chicken? In first case, chicken egg came from non-chicken, in later case only chicken can produce one...
Good to know not to use that software then.

> Is pineapple on pizza good?

Generally - no, but there was a superb execution by one place in Vancouver whereby they used partially dehydrated pineapples. That was really good, because you got the pineapple taste but without any of that pesky sogginess.

That's the place - https://www.stevestonpizza.com/menu

The rest of the menu is equally wonderful, absolutely fantastic flavour combinations, really well executed. The place was started 10-15 years ago (?) by a former chef of one of 5 star hotels in the city. It has always been a bit quirky, first with the foie gras pizza and then with the $800 caviar and truffle one, but their main menu was super solid. I am no longer in Vancouver, but I'd order from them again in a heartbeat.
But not all theater is meant to make you laugh?
If you're asking if macros and attributes are interchangeable terms, no they're not.
I honestly feel like there were some issues in their specific hardware selection. Linux shouldn't be that bad on a recent Thinkpad system
Yes, it exploits `--allow-run=whatever` + `--allow-write=whatever` to execute arbitrary code outside of the sandbox.

The problem with the Deno security model is that it’s hard to predict how granting any specific permission would affect overall security. For example, it may seem to be kinda reasonable for an application to ask for `--allow-write=~/.config` to create config directories & files, but it’s probably exploitable to escape the sandbox. Is `--allow-env` + `--allow-write=whatever` dangerous? I don’t know. If Deno runtime spawns a subprocess at some point, it could be used to execute arbitrary code via `LD_PRELOAD`. Is there a guarantee that Deno runtime will never spawn subprocesses? There is no way to know.
How to start a successful freelance business as a software developer (2017)
We're capable, companies have just decided there isn't a market for it.

Or else there are still useful durable laptops being produced, but not this model or this company.
This laptop doesn't have a dedicated GPU and while I love my old thinkpad, a third generation i7 isn't powerful enough to do 4k h265 decoding and physically lacks any hardware acceleration for vp8, vp9 and both 8 and 10 bit h265. 1080p content is fine but with 4k it will start to struggle. This author doesn't seem to be using the laptop for multimedia consumption, but I would like to bring this limitation up for anyone looking to run this generation of thinkpad as a daily driver. If someone was planning on doing screen recording, I would strongly urge them to pick a newer generation of processor that can do hardware accelerated video encoding. A 720p webcam is fine, but seems like the limit as well since the author had to drop the desktop resolution to 720p to use OBS screen recording functionally. It's a great machine though and I completely understand why someone would feel those tradeoffs are worth looking past. I miss my w520 sometimes. I have never felt so at home with another machine.
Yes, the famously thorny problem of why people who come from the same different country and natively speak the same foreign language might hang out together in college.

Thank goodness the piercing logic of Game Theory managed to unravel this enigma for us.

And, in America, in 1971, you would obviously name this important scientific discovery the "segregation" model because thats a word you use when talking about social cliques in foreign students.

Might as well have called it the "Why did the Nazi Germany-era jews choose to live in the ghetto?" model if we were going to be that tone deaf about it.

Look, Game Theory is cool and nerdy, but like most parts of economics it's often used as a weapon. Let's not be niave.

That's true for gas fired plants so I expect it would be the case for light liquid fuelled ones. You wouldn't burn petrol in them, because that fuel is very specific to piston engines (turbines don't need toxic anti-knock additives, for example).

As far as grid stability though, in more advanced countries it's relatively easy to build out more grid capacity, just expensive. Only in politically troubled countries like Australia and the USA does the "but how do we create an effective market for building the grid" dominate that discussion, and result in a poorly functioning grid but also (obviously) a badly broken market in providing a grid. Back when I was exposed to economics electricity grids were a cliche example of things where markets are inappropriate and inherently unworkable - they're a natural monopoly. Even the most die-hard capitalist isn't going to suggest two or three independent grids supplying every building... well, maybe in Texas :)

I'm in Australia, and the big advantage we have over much of the USA is being closer to the equator... only about half our current houses have solar PV on them, and less than a third of commercial buildings. We could get 20% more electricity just by fixing that, and it would be conveniently close to demand as well.
When you're running multiple projects expecting the same globally installed library or shell command (but a different version), building/running in docker is a breeze: each container can have its own set of dependency versions.
If someone/something can affect what is sent to/processed by your instance of log4j, then your code is vulnerable. It is important to understand that Log4j have more to do with java than 'web servers':
- Some web servers might use log4j, but most don't use it as a standard component/module.
- Log4j is a very popular module for logging purposers when using java.
iina is a really nice player, but unfortunately maintenance of it seems to have slowed quite a lot. There's a lot of piled up issues and pull requests.

You'll also find that even on the most powerful of Macs that it will struggle with higher resolution video playback that QuickTime Player, VLC, or straight mpv play without issue.

A common-sense decision which will last right up to the first major lawsuit.
That is for the courts to decide, not GitHub or you. There's plenty of people here already that disagree on whether the intent was malicious.
Using your numbers, the base metabolic rate accounts for 2/3 of the difference; if one engages in just 100 calories of activity during 4 waking hours then 100% of the difference is matched by energy expenditures.
> Its very typical of modernism (especially in the US) to think that the way to address everything is a nice app with a better UI.

I'd be happy if the app could show medical expenses before the treatment.
If you want sleep tracking, you can use Muse S [0]. You can stream EEG readings in real-time using [1].

However it's really, really hard to get _useful_ data about one's sleep. The results computed by Muse are garbage. The only successful product I know is Dreem [2] but they've exited the consumer market.

At the moment, I think the easiest way is to get an ECG (yep, for the heart, not the head) and process the readings using z3score-hrv [3].

Even lorry drivers and especially care demands a lot from you if you come to a new country. You have to learn a lot, not only the language and how things are done in your new home. These are high demands, even if you think the occupation is easy.

Field workers are mostly part-time immigrants in most countries as the work is seasonal. Many that come will return home in winter or will need another occupation. What I want to say is that demands on the labour market are high.

Countries that regarded your suggestions don't have a good looking economy either. Where is this magically economy that imports immigrants in large numbers?

You will just make more jobs untenable by the normal population and it will only get worse, because it will suppress wages further so that no native workers with any prospects will want to work there. This already happened with many jobs, you might want to make sure that this doesn't extend to more industries.
Which GraalVM can do much better as well, even optimizing through language boundaries (it can effectively inline a C FFI call into whatever language made that)
So $3T company that advertises privacy focus cannot unambiguously say on their web page about their privacy policy that they do not store data about users?
Either they are incompetent in which case I don't really trust their attempt to protect my privacy or they are intentionally obtuse in which case I actually do trust that they know what they are doing and they store data on their users just like they say they do on they web page about privacy policy.
Look, you can go ahead and trust them and that is fine. Just ask yourself what is the chance that Apple is the ONLY big tech company in the world that does not spy on its users.
IINA is close to perfect software for me. It has a minimal (invisible until I need it) UI with just the options I need a click away. Yet powerful with all the advanced features available in the menu bar should I need them.

It has clean and well organised preferences that come with sensible defaults.

I have used it for over three years and not had a crash or bug with it ever. Never failed to play a file, even partially downloaded via torrent (so just random fragments of the file it was able to handle properly rather than just error/crash out).

But what I love most is that it is just a media player. It doesn't try to be a capture tool or converter or editor. It plays video and music files and does that job superbly.

If you're a macOS user I can't think of a better media player out there. Plus it is not only free but open source!
`bool metric` implies that `metric` can be YES or NO, that's clearer than what was there before.

Its a made-up example, this discussion is about style, not about semantics. To please those who would like to see a semantically improved version: (C++)

enum class Unit {
Meter,
Inch,
Foot,
// ...
};

template<Unit U>
struct UnitValue {
double value;
};

template<Unit U>
UnitValue<U> rectangle_area(UnitValue<U> side_a, UnitValue<U> side_b);

// invocation example
constexpr Unit unit = Unit::Meter;
UnitValue<unit> result = rectangle_area<unit>({5.3}, {1.5});

std::cout << result.value << std::endl;

There is still room for improvement, maybe some concepts to further generify it, some more comments, maybe a PDF with full documentation, ...
Imagine if all those desperate engineers in Bangladesh decided that rather than nuclear weapons to match India and Pakistan, they wanted them to build an Orion ship. A really, really big one. Think lofting 100M Bangladeshis into space. And moving to Mars.

That would create a whole different sort of climate change.
Is an unopened bun an sandwich?
Oh yes, i misread the result. You can't imagine the relief right now. No more civilization collapse (as long as we tackle this little climate thing, that is)
This is my hope as well but I have already heard the backlash: it's pharma companies trying to control our food.

Increasingly, I feel afraid of the lunatics trying to hinder progress like some 14th century catholics. Progress to me means also an increasing awareness of the limitations of our ecosystems and that infinite growth is a myth.
For an even more contrived example, see my other comment [1]

The ram upgrade was common since the 2012s, thinkpad sold 16gbs as an upgrade while buying the laptop at the time. SSDs needing to be upgraded has also been recommended since that time. And the processor update was simply maxing out the processor upgrade from that generation. It was available on the workstation version of the thinkpad in the same generation. The i7-3820QM release date is 04/23/2012. It's still a processor from 2012. A new SSD doesn't mean current gen speeds, the internal and the caddy are still limited to sata 3 speeds. It's a very 2012 machine, a very nice 2012 machine and still lacking a dedicated GPU.

Show me a poll that doesn't tell you the answer in the options. When one of the answers is "gif", and it wins as the pronunciation for "gif", that's a useless result.
We had such a congressional fact check organization. It was called the OTA (Office of Technology Assessment). Sadly it stood in the way of institutionalized lobbying (The K Street Project), so the Republicans eliminated it shortly after they came to power in congress in 1994.
