Don't see what macOS gives you more than Linux if you don't need XCode. While I can understand developers that use Windows (there are a ton of compilers and development environments that unfortunately are only for Windows, especially in the embedded field) I can't name a tool other than XCode that doesn't run on Linux.

And why should you spend a ton of money on an underpowered Mac while with the same amount of money you get a more performant Linux workstation I have no idea. And not name the fact that m1 Mac are cheap, yes they kind of are (not really, for 1200$ you can get a similar performant Linux laptop), if you don't need to run x86 software or virtual machines.

MacOS to me is an OS that is difficult to use and understand, with so many problems (that are admitted even by Apple, for example it wastes a ton of RAM for nothing).

Really I know macOS, I had a Macbook in the past, a Macbook pro 15 mid 2015, and it was kind of good (well, I paid it a ton of money), and still some things I appreciate more than my current laptop (the screen and the touchpad are fantastic, for example), but I hated MacOS, update after update it become slower and more full of useless stuff that consumed resources, and full of stupid privacy and security features that get in your way (like stupid prompts that you get when you try to run a third party application downloaded from the internet and you have to get every time in the Settings application to consent it - something that I had to research on the internet how to do the first time. They say Apple is intuitive right?)
So you're saying that Gosling's Emacs MockLisp was even more like the original TECO in Original Emacs than Gnu Emacs Lisp??!
I did not write that I object to service animals. There is clearly no enforcement of service animal laws, which are lacking, and no recourse for anyone harmed by them, which is what I was trying to point out.

There are already laws that ban dogs from restaurants and grocery stores. But there is a higher law that says if you say the words service dog, then no one can say anything to you and you do not have to prove anything, rendering the laws banning dogs from restaurants and grocery stores useless.
The YouTube channel "German in Venice" was there today and asked one of the train workers which told him the derailment was not caused by the trash.

Looking at another video on Twitter where the train is riding on both tracks it appears and railway switch failed halfway while the train was running over it. I saw this happen to a light rail here in Zürich during a very cold day, the railway switch snapped back in the middle of a railcar running over it. One track turned up another street so the railcar ripped apart at the flexible junction.

Of course a piece of trash could easily have caused the failure of the railway switch.
They have been making arrests but the D.A. releases on $0 bail the next day. So theses criminals just go right back at it.
Regarding "and third because there are good reasons why evaluations of outcomes and states of affairs ought to be based on lexicographic value comparisons, not just on a simple expected utility principle": do you have any suggested references that describe this in more detail?

Same question for "This is wrong on many levels, most notably by misunderstanding how theory discovery can and should work."

Also, do you have any suggestions for statistics books that you do like? Especially those with an applied bent (i.e. actually working with data, not philosophical discussions).

No, I'm the one who's not misleading people. Looting was 90% concentrated in lower Manhattan.

If you were there, or watch any news report from the time, it's extremely obvious and supported by the evidence.

All I said is that lower Manhattan had widespread looting, which is true.

Everybody here throwing out total retail or even total businesses in NYC to discredit what I'm saying are the ones being misleading. Everything I've said is backed up by facts.

Say 450 is an accurate number. Well 90% can reasonably be assumed to be lower Manhattan, and we know lower Manhattan is less than 5% of the landmass of NYC.

So no, you're the one being misleading. Pretty crazy all these people trying to gaslight as if it didn't happen, when I lived there and walked down the streets and saw it myself.

It's no surprise an ex cop just won as mayor of NYC, when you have people with this attitude supporting retail theft/looting at all costs. New Yorkers got tired of it, sorry.
I agree with you. It's really five steps of Abumrad's process/workflow.

Well, technically you can, because the government agencies doing the enforcement are systematically understaffed.
>so what approach do you use to deal with email that would justify your opinion here?

When I get email I don't want from a company I have an account with, I scroll to the bottom and click 'unsubscribe'. I then don't get anymore of those kinds of emails.

What I absolutely do not do is throw a hissy fit and click 'report spam' (which not fucks up my own bayes classifiers and makes false positives more likely, but sends harmful false reports to antispam orgs).

Seems to work quite well. Certainly well enough that I can't comprehend the level of snark and vitriol received here.
The title made me think this is about theft of actual rail tracks, which is a practice not unheard of in many parts of the world.
Because the idea that property laws shouldn't be enforced and that the response to property crime is to give the thieves more stuff (housing and UBI) is a perverse incentive and a recipe for a lawless society where criminality is rewarded.

This isn't an argument against UBI or expanding housing per se, it's an argument against the people saying property laws should not be enforced because the criminals are poor.
It is the exact correct button for that kind of shit, and it sounds like you need to reevaluate what it is you're trying to optimize for.

Yep this! People would regularly run windows 95 on a 486 with 8-16mb of ram. This was their daily driver which did word, dial up/aol/prodigy, messaging, games, etc. I think the reaction here that someone is able to run a little web server off of it is perhaps a bit overdone. Yes, its impressive he wrote his own stack, but the hardware itself is still beefy.
Actually I don’t think this will be very difficult in terms of adding the molecular beam epitaxy steps to the traveler. However, there is massive fab-wide risk from introducing III-V elements into the process, which can contaminate everything, so they may have to build an entirely new fab for this process. It’s been a while for me, so my understanding may be dated.
Perhaps small town and exurban governments will at some point find it cheaper to purchase lifted pickup trucks for all three families in their community who don’t already have one.

RISCV is an open architecture. If a manufacturer does that, simply don't buy the processor from that manufacturer and buy it from another. All your software will still be compatible since it's the same architecture.

Otherwise with x86 is more complex: you can choose between Intel and AMD (that has bought the license for the x86 instruction set - not something cheap to get), and both of them had their backdoor processor inside the computer (at least on Intel there are ways to disable it, as far as I know with AMD is more difficult if not impossible to do).

Organized crime has been taking advantage of an opportunity created by rising e commerce and a DA office that has been unwilling to prosecute a lot of petty crimes:

I used a JSON resume once and I like the idea. It didn't help when I had to apply for an unemployment benefit (while still trying to enter the industry) and they asked for my resume as a word document.

As you can imagine, I felt like a clown trying to explain that I didn't have a word document because my resume was generated from a JSON file.

I did, however, have a PDF on a USB drive I always kept on me but they refused to accept USBs out of fear that I was trying to give them a virus. Eventually the lady processing my application gave up and printed the PDF off that was hosted on my website but also scolded me for not having a word doc.

The whole ordeal was pointless anyway since they said they can give me 70% of my rent.
I posted a case to HackerOne with the intent to warn against this behavior and with the weakness type "Business Logic Errors". Please, read in my report section "Impact" and my answer about the potentional impact of the reported behavior.

But, as maxltv clarified, it's not a policing tool but an authoring tool and described use of the product violate their TOS. My case is relevant if clients use it as a policing tool.
The underlying problem is you need a JSON format about the company. But the things candidates care for generally are easy to lie about (good culture, career progression, even remote working options), so scatter guns are required. As they say recruitment is broken - but its not easily fixable because it’s broken because of game theory and human behaviour.
Something like off chain calculations or state management which then can be subtree’d out and used on chain. I think something like 1inch or Paraswap style of app were you need to do huge, in single tx terms, calculations to optimize trades across dexs and then provably import that work on chain. In reality because this is so new I doubt many people have any idea how to actually use it effectively right now but there is a lot of potential.

Hiring companies might prefer to just have this as a "hoop."

There are, inevitably, some people who apply to a lot of jobs. Jobs they aren't qualified for. Low intent applications, where the applicant isn't really that interested. Etc.

Even if these are a minority, they apply to a lot of jobs. In any case, standardizing job applications (OP seems to be talking about application forms that are mostly resume-ish fields) just means more of these. More volume, more noise, probably not many more successful hires.

There's kind of the same dynamic on the other side. Most workers don't love the idea of submitting an indexable resume for employers to leaf through.

Sometimes a modicum of friction is helpful.
Yeah, it is - not to the level people envisioned years ago where people made up their own tags and found a blend of XML and HTML, but it absolutely is in place for more meaningful HTML. We have tags that tell you the purpose of content - header, nav, section, article, footer, etc. Those tags are read by screen readers and other accessibility tools, and do bring semantic value to those readers.
And they are through trains - they don't do local pickup and delivery.
This is something of an issue with conference proposals as well. In fact, I've seen some conferences recently that put a strict limit on number of submittals. As a sometimes conference reviewer, I hate people throwing a bunch of overlapping and often generic stuff at the wall.

One of the main reasons Moderna pivoted to vaccine development was because the liquid nanoparticles used to deliver the mRNA are toxic, and the necessary dosages for a therapeutic dose were dangerous. Fortunately, vaccines require smaller doses, and were originally thought of as one-shot deals, so accumulation wasn't a concern.

> Yet Moderna could not make its therapy work, former employees and collaborators said. The safe dose was too weak, and repeat injections of a dose strong enough to be effective had troubling effects on the liver in animal studies.

At any rate, we have very poor understanding of the body and biology in general. I don't care what models say about long-term safety - this is an exactly backwards way to look at it, and why technological development has had devastating impacts on the ecosystem and on human health. We don't know what we don't know. And we very often don't worry too much about what we don't know when a "solution" presents itself, especially if someone can profit off that solution, whether it's trans-fats, DDT, or Vioxx.

I care about what long-term safety records say about long-term safety. For similar reasons, I decline to take nearly all medication unless my life is in imminent danger or the expected benefit is very large and the known risks have been tracked for decades. (So - pretty much just antibiotics when I have a severe infection that is not getting better.)
If you don't mind, it would be great if Grammarly's official Twitter account would confirm for @teamyoutube your words in my post, as they stopped noticing my messages to them...

Your explanation of how you position this tool clears up our dispute. My case (in which the possible impact was described) is relevant if your clients use it as a policing tool.
There was a story I read once where general AI was unobtainable but computing power continued so simulations of brains was done via processing brain slices. So every AI was just a person who had died with an intact brain that could be preserved. Self driving cars were a thing but it was someone’s grandma.
> I witnessed the 2020 protests firsthand and saw no looting or riotous behavior;

If that isn’t meant to imply there wasn’t any looting, then why did you add it?

The rest of what you said is just about definitions and is irrelevant to the facts of what happened.

“There is no evidence that protesters engaged in looting”

That’s because you use a different name for the people who did. You have no way to be certain nobody who looted wasn’t also there to protest, so the labelling doesn’t mean anything.

In aggregate the protests unquestionably led to looting that wouldn’t otherwise have happened. The fact that not all protesters were looters is irrelevant. The looting was part of the protesting, even if not all protesters supported it.

So instead of using the actual data that's available we should make up whatever bias we want that fits our existing world view? Even with no evidence to support it other than conjecture?
What makes you think "everyone" isn't already trying to work there?
Until they are convicted, sure - the problem with cash bail is of course that it's a 3:1 ratio of unconvicted to convicted people in jail at any given time and it massively disproportionately affects the poor. The average person unable to make bail has a salary of around 14k; the average bail is set at $10,000.

You're a retail worker making 26k a year. You're arrested, and can't come up with $1,000 to get a bond, so you stay in jail for a couple of weeks, lose your job and get evicted. Now the prosecutor comes to you with a choice: take a plea deal and get out now with time served or go to court - the court date is of course in a month and you'll have to stay in jail over that period.

Innocent until proven guilty matters.

There is no global waiting list, so whether one in the US takes a vaccine or not isn't going to result in someone else being able to get that same vaccine.

> Bitplane graphics

Fun fact regarding bitplane: a friend of mine realized that he could use only 16 colors instead of 32, have all colors from, say, 0 to 15 be black, then clear the whole screen by zero'ing only the first bitplane (so effectively only blitting one-fifth of what would typically need to be blitted in case you wanted to clear the whole screen between two frames).

Problem is: running the Amiga in 16 colors mode (instead of 32) was faster than using that trick in 32 colors mode.

However... That trick worked on the Atari ST. It was a very fast way to clear the whole screen. But as the Atari ST only had 4 bitplanes to start with, then you'd end up with only 8 usable colors if you used that trick.

We're talking decades ago, but I'm pretty sure I remember this correctly (as in: we actually tried and timed all this on both the Amiga and the Atari ST back in the days).

Optimization is good. It means everything is efficient, cheaper, more abundant and new things can be built on top of old things. It's a wonderful quality.

Now, in which first world country do freight train need guards across their route? And it's not like the train is being hit in the middle of the desert, Breaking Bad style. There are few spots where this happened.

It seems to me like police across the US are either scared of doing their job or simply don't care, together with a public which has been desensitized to crime.
Something like OpenID connect?
Yes it's good to have rules on how far one wants to go down the maintenance rabbithole. I usually set the limit at whether I'll have to buy an expensive tool just to do the service (e.g. one of those tools to clean the valves on these GDI engines) or whether the job requires removing more than N things (where N = 2 or so); if I have to disconnect a bunch of ancillary stuff just to replace a starter (or the back spark plugs in a lot of transversely-mounted V6 engines), then to the pro mechanic it goes!
