Why are lambdas needed for this? The standard C idiom used for this since forever ("goto out") does not use lambdas.
I think it's fine roads are paved. It's just that said roads are wider and effectively longer to service the same number of people, and this is due to zoning and the way property tax is handled.
A fair reply, but these are dinosaurs.

As far as we know they have no complex social organization to speak of, nor do I see how that could be preserved in the fossil records. A German, Tunisian or Canadian are all equally unable to imagine the world as the dinosaurs saw it. Nor is there any data I can imagine which would provide any evidence for an interpretation of that kind.

I would definitely take your point with respect to archaeology, but for paleontology it is a stretch.

From the dinosaurs’ perspective it must be unfair that their bones are being excavated by primates…
Another big confounder is household size.
Why are you mentioning software engineers?
The real fallacy falls to companies that equate email with identity. They were never the same thing.

The discontent comes when companies rely on that as fact, and someone comes along and via masking or disposable or lots of other ways (even just signing up for a new email at yahoo or hotmail or proton or tutanota or..) , shows them it isn't true.
Not sure how much you can conclude based on one city. You’d need per capita package loss data on dozens of cities while also accounting for package volume per city.
It’s a special kind of account, you can sell everything and withdraw the proceeds, then buy new assets outside that account. So you can choose, but not retroactively (unfortunately!)
"Increasing your luck surface area". There was one such article some months ago and I liked the premise.
There is, thanks to the semantic web (the real web 3 :) ).

See for example the FoaF ontology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FOAF_(ontology)
That is how I mean it too. For me it means not caring, as I said.

I have also found that accepting all criticism from other developers makes me the submissive one. They are not always correct, pushing back when they are not matters a lot. Otherwise you get more and more absurd complaints.
Ah, automatic drip emails. I don't know anybody who likes these things but a lot of marketing people insist that they are a necessity.
From what I've read, the Koch method combined with Farnsworth timing is the best way to learn to hear Morse code.

Koch method is about using full-speed dits/dahs from the beginning and gradually adding a couple to the set of characters being trained as you learn to identify them by their sound.

Farnsworth timing is about controlling the overall speed by putting pauses between the characters while training instead of slowing down the dits/dahs of the actual characters.

I don't know the science behind it, but I've spent a few hours training this way. Each set of tones that makes up a character starts to sound like its own word, or phoneme at least. It feels like it's stimulating the subconscious language bits of the brain rather than the logical/conscious ones as if you tried listening and counting the dits/dahs.
I grew up in cities and suburbs, a child of television and computers. When I went to basic training at Fort Sill, Oklahoma - the middle of nowhere - and we camped out in the field, that was the first time I saw what the night sky really looks like. It was absolutely breathtaking, seeing the Milky Way and the millions of stars that are visible in a clear sky without light pollution. I often think about that experience and about how that was how it looked to everyone, everywhere, for all of human history up until the last x00 years. Basic sucked but that was unquestionably the highlight of that time for me and one of the highlights of my life so far.
This has nothing to do with "inequality". The existence of Elon Musk does not make people rob the trains. The refusal of the law enforcement - openly and clearly proclaimed - to actually enforce the law does. If it has been publicly said that theft won't be prosecuted and in general property crime is not a true crime ("it's all ensured!") then why not do it? There's literally not a single reason not to do it. So people are starting to do it.
They give technology to general public, but in small doses and after rigorous safety tests. There were numerous incidents with "surprises" left in alien technology.
I am not denying that stores were looted, or excusing looting.

Read the comment carefully: the distinction is between protesters and opportunists, with the latter not being protestors. There is no evidence that protestors individually or collectively engaged in looting.
Google makes their money off "engagement" and has absolutely no incentive to help privacy-conscious users.
That's an excellent question. The answer is that I don't really count such kind of theorems as positive arguments. They are more like indicators that carve out the space of possible representations of rational belief and basically amount to reverse-engineering when they are used as justifications. Savage does something similar in his seminal book, he stipulates some postulates for subjective plausibility that happen to amount to full probability (in a multicriteria decision-making setting). He motivates these postulates, including fairly technical ones, by finding intuitively compelling examples. But you can also find intuitively compelling counter-examples.

To mention some alternative epistemic representations that could or have also been axiomatized: Dempster-Shafer theory, possibility theory by Dubois/Prade, Halpern's generalizations (plausibility theory), Haas-Spohn ranking theory, qualitative representations by authors like Bouyssou, Pirlot, Vincke, convex sets of probability measures, Jøsang's "subjective logic", etc. Some of them are based on probability measures, others are not. (You can find various formal connections between them, of course.)

The problem is that presenting a set of axioms/postulates and claiming they are "rational" and others aren't is really just a stipulation. Moreover, in my opinion a good representation of epistemic states should at least account for uncertainty (as opposed to risk), because uncertainty is omnipresent. That can be done with probability measures, too, of course, but then the representation becomes more complicated. There is plenty of leeway for alternative accounts and a more nuanced discussion.
Everything in your last paragraph is unreasonable to me. None of those reasons is any business of the government.
The article had earlier mentions of live animals, I find it odd that it didn't bother you until it got to 'cats'.
It is interesting to see what's happening around this pattern, so I won't be too sure that it was indeed a joke.
C libraries -- including the runtime implementations of features like this -- can heap allocate just fine. They just need to return pointers on the stack to the heap allocated values, either directly or indirectly (e.g. buried in a struct return value). As is always the case with C, the burden to free the memory is on the caller: no problem.

Given a possible implementation, this loopy mutex example could have a tiny stack footprint: a single pointer to the shared cleanup() function; and a single pointer to the head of a (heap allocated) linked list of pointers to mutex (i.e., the function arguments). And the function pointer would not necessarily require allocation at all, as we can statically point at the function definition here. So we are down to a single word of stack allocation.

I could keep going, but all of this and you think... protests caused this?

You saying "Manhattan was ransacked" is hilarious, I live in Brooklyn, next stop after Barclay Center, where global news networks were painting a picture of a warzone using an overturned car...

Almost every person who marched at Barclay went past my apartment and you know what the damage was? The police removed the trash cans on my street in anticipation, so for a good two weeks afterwards there was trash everywhere as people just dumped it in the street instead.

Oh yeah, and some businesses took way too long removing their plywood defenses despite 0 signs they were actually tested.

Actually one cool story literally steps from that burning car was those same protestors stopping would-be rioters from breaking into stores...

-

Seriously, we need to drop this narrative that the iron fist of the law is what would stop this.

So many people trying to run interference by pointing the finger at "defund the police" chants... is the only thing stopping you from stealing from a train the idea the police might catch you?

Criminals are criminals, they don't respect the rule of law so you're not going to get them by sprinkling more agents of the law to crack down on people.

https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/001112871038226...

(Note the author here, Gary Kleck, this is someone who's practically a patron saint of tough-on-crime proponents after his work on DGU. And even his study can't seriously back the claim.)

-

Now you can try jailing all the criminals of course, and just keep growing your jails until you've exhausted the sources of crime...

But even with the harshest prosecutors, eventually these people need to leave. If our prisons were about reform it'd be one thing, but crime is rampant is our prison system.

So all you're doing is sticking criminals in an incubator while screwing over the communities they're from and setting the next generation of criminals in motion...
If they want a job in software development, point them to Reddit. There are a number of posts and subreddits focused on transitioning into software.

People will go into detail about their learning path, projects completed, and hours spent learning.

It is highly US centered, but it definitely seems possible for someone to start late in life and learn enough to become employed as a developer.
Controllers for medical equipment. If they were Linux based, it would probably have been stuck on centos 5 and not getting updates either way
There's nothing unusual about it though. In every country in the world, when criminals need to recruit people, they generally target the poor.

Why would a wealthy person want to participate? They can just buy the stuff and not be involved in a crime.
This "Linus" guy won't go anywhere. No one wants a half-done kernel that is just a hobby.
I'm not talking about the DOM API. I'm talking about writing code that relies on a certain DOM structure - i.e. misusing that structure as an API format when it wasn't intended for that, and any changes made to it would not bear that in mind.
We did, it's called non-disposable email. A non-unique pseudoanonymous identity that's somewhat difficult to mint in bulk.

If you don't like "accounts of well-known service providers" -- email or login-with-whoever then sources of identity that "everyone" has that are hard to get many of are government ids, phone numbers and credit cards.

Like what else is there? For super technical people we could do something like "proof of bitcoin address" where we verify control of a wallet with some minimum long-standing balance. We could make you submit a recording of yourself saying some random phrase and then do some facial recognition to detect duplicates. IP banning hasn't worked since the 90's.
This is very nice, thanks for sharing! Hope to implement.
While I see your point of irony, and can only be amused by your comment and the apparent absurdity of my speaking my point, I’d say on balance and considering the future potential of thought waste, there is a net conservation of thoughts.
Many of us think the benefits do not outweigh the risks. I am opposed to virtually everything 'national' except military. In the United States there is a huge divide between the cultural norms of the city dweller, the suburbanites, and those living in rural America. That divide is even stronger on a state by state basis. The average San Franciscan has an entirely different worldview when compared with the average North Carolinan. The beauty of the American system is that each locality mostly has the ability to determine it's own rules while still sharing a single military and tax base. Certain tradeoffs have to be made to support such a system - meaning we have to put up with each others differences to some degree and potentially 'miss out' on the benefits of national programs. In the end, I prefer that about the US system.
Here's a piece of data I've been following, for Santa Clara County:

https://covid19.sccgov.org/dashboard-case-rates-vaccination-...

The number --- 871 cases per day per 100,000 unvax'd, for the week preceding 1/10-- is an amazing rate (7 day average). It tells us that 6.1% of the unvaxxed population became a case during a 1 week period. This doesn't count people who were infected and did not test or did not test in a way that got reported.

Your point about whether mild infections are slipping through is interesting. Probably the vaccinated have more paucisymptomatic infections. The unvaccinated and vaccinated probably test at different rates (which way? required workplace testing of unvaxxed vs. unvaxxed more likely to be deniers who don't want to test). Etc. So there's some confounds here, for sure. But boy that 871 per 100k number is fascinating.

Without reinfection (which we don't suspect is likely for Omicron-following-Omicron), it certainly can't stay at 6% of the population per week for long. I doubt they have spotted more than a third of infections.
These are freight trains, so unlikely to fall under such laws.

Your opinion isn’t common among anyone other than marketers trying to justify sending spam.
in my experience (working with academic data, JSON-LD), being aggressively semantic and adding namespaces to your format very rarely results in out of the box machine interoperability, and picking the right format out of a bunch being offered is always extra complexity on the side of the developer. but most of the time you'll likely be writing code specifically for one source of data.

this leads to such standards having a shadow de-facto convention-based standard (e.g. everyone on the fediverse plays nice with Mastodon, despite ActivityPub allowing for things to be different).

if you need it, just versioning your schema is imo a much better experience for developers
The key observation is that the NY protests had two discrete groups: protestors, and opportunists.

There was no such distinction during J6: the opportunists who did storm the Capitol and menace our legislative branch started as protestors, and promoted themselves to riotous behavior when the opportunity presented itself.
Why the node-based interface? Doesn't this get overwhelming (too many nodes) when you do a serious project?

They already have it, and they call it a header file.

Better FFI's generate their definitions from such header files, called header parsers. (based on some CPP code). This problem was solved in the 80ies, but I guess forgotten by now.
Me too. It's probably just my weird taste, but think it still looks pretty cool. I wondered what kind of look "cults" were going for these days on the "modern" web so checked out scientology.org. Way boring compared to Heaven's Gate, though the background image is fairly spacey.
“Japan has some of the highest rates of child poverty in the developed world, according to a UNICEF report. It ranked Japan 34th out of 41 industrialised countries. According to Japan's Health Ministry statistics, as of May 2017, 16% of Japanese children live below the poverty line.”

Dozens of businesses.
Dozens I say!
It takes a very specially cultivated state of mental confusion to genuinely believe people driving in in multiple high-end cars, smash-and-grab robbing a jewelry store and departing in the same cars are doing it because they're so poor they can't find any alternative to feed themselves. And this state of mental confusion seems to be carefully cultivated among Californians.
Well I can assure you the protesters in Minneapolis were violent, destructive, and I personally saw hundreds of protesters looting stores, breaking ATMs, smashing windows etc. etc. Hell, the protesters even burned down the police precinct.

The riots in Minneapolis were worse by every metric than Jan 6. And in some cases orders of magnitude (cost of damage, for one). And I'll tell you what else - a lot more people are going to jail for the Jan 6 riots than the Minneapolis ones.
Not at all. Emmental has a mild, flat flavour profile where Gruyère has a full bodied rich taste, just like Comté does.
How can the market fix the problem? Some people aren't abiding by the market so how could the market constrain them? It's like advising a chess player to just play better when his opponent is snatching his pieces off the board - that might not work.

If the market reacts by making it harder to steal, then presumably this will increase the cost of goods which will, presumably, increase the value of stealing them. The market doesn't have a lot of options that I can see.
I think they are forced to transit these areas. Only so many rail lines that exist and they have to slow down due to practicalities of congestion at freight and trainyards which the low speed makes them vulnerable to being boarded.
gokrazy is a very cool project and something I'd like to see more of. It's not a unikernel per se but it shares the idea of packaging your code and the OS together and shipping it as one. My dream would be a pure Go userspace library to do absolutely anything related to system management you'd need, like managing networking, connecting to Wi-Fi access points, performing upgrades and so on. But it's such a massive undertaking so we're stuck depending on software written in C via FFI or exec'ing shell commands -- pretty gross.

I figured cargo was separate to passenger. I assume they have their reasons to stop, like making way for traffic, or waiting for more cargo. Just wish they’d prioritize alternative solutions. At this stage I’m going to have to send packages by air instead. A little harder to hijack.
Their police force seems really bad.
I'd agree that putting real costs in front of people is important because what people will pay for something is critical to understanding the relative value of that thing. People don't like toll roads but given there is no free lunch, the toll of other roads is just hidden.

On the other hand, I once chatted with a person who performed a large wintertime bicycle give-away in low income neighborhoods. The operation was so large that they ordered bikes directly from factories. I asked something like "why don't you put your branding on the bikes then" or something like that. The person's reply was that they didn't want the bikes to be seen as the free ones--that the bikes could be ridden without the stigma of poverty. Maybe the roads, sidewalks, bikelanes and parks in any city are likewise and the cost of them should be abstracted somewhat from the adjacent properties so that any person biking along them feels a sense of belonging.
Are you going to make the same distinction for all the peaceful protesters on January 6th who never entered the Capitol? Because if not I don't really see a difference.
That's pretty neat. Are there any compliant clients? If I google the XEP you linked I can't find anything but mailing lists and posts talking about it.
I don't trust any crime statistics other than murders. Police in many cities barely investigate minor crimes and often actively discourage victims from filing reports, so the statistics are artificially low.
Thanks. Learned a lot
Okay, according to google there are 220,000 businesses in New York, so 0.2% were looted. Thanks.
Why not, then?
I've created several ones over the course of months without any issue. I wasn't even asked for a phone number.

I agree with your beliefs, and I'm triple vaxxed. In my country, vaccination rates are 10+% higher than in the US, despite much less coercion. I suspect a large part of that, is that we don't have nearly the same level of political polarization.

If some person starts to link their identity to not believing in the vaccines, belittling them is not likely to help.

If it hadn't been made political, I would buy your comparison to seatbelts and drunk driving, but as it is, I think it is more comparable to putting a ban on male circumcision.

(Also, for the record, I think both sides of US politics has their own areas where they ignore evidence in favour of what is "correct" thinking for their side.)
The time in which one sleeps is not the only variable that matters. I rather have 5 hours of restful, deep sleep than 8 hours of tossing, turning, and waking up every couple of hours. Plus, there are other variables like how close to sleep was your last meal/snack, what time you go to sleep and wake up at, caffeine intake, etc..

Can some people function better on less sleep? Sure, but I would need to see more data on this topic before I believe it is as widespread as I anecdotally hear it.

Are these people that need less sleep actually performing better, or they do they merely believe that because they are inhibited by their lack of sleep? I am pretty sure there have been studies observing this effect. One "thinks" they are performing better, but reality begs to differ.
Huh that's a good point.

I was told, that salt added early enough, can extract the flavor of other ingredients. So the salt still taste like salt, but it makes other tastes avaiable, which can be good or bad, depending on the dish.
0.2% is a huge percentage?
Not that there is a reason to compare the two, but a mob of people going after the elected leaders of a democratic country, especially during election procedures, has far more implications and ramifications on a country than looting.
Actually, I do make that distinction, and I think most people do as well. I'm not particularly enthused about the initial protest, but I would not characterize the protestors who did not enter the Capitol (and did not encourage others to do so) as "rioters."
