What’s toxic is having somebody breaking into your house and not being able to do anything about it except call the police who might or might not show up in the next 15 minutes. What’s toxic is when only criminals have guns and you cannot protect yourself with equal force.
most of inline asm is being made available, but not all. My embedded project still needs stuff that's not stable yet. Still extremely excited that it's shipping.
I regret I have no direct comment regarding the parent story other than to express sympathy. But as a U.S. resident I couldn't tell you how many times I have walked past my neighbors' blood on the sidewalk, heard gunshots at night, lived in buildings with bullet damage, or been in situation where I suspected a gun might end my life. My experiences should not be possible, yet they continue.

"The Small Arms Survey stated that U.S. civilians alone account for 393 million held firearms. This amounts to "120.5 firearms for every 100 residents."[0]

--mildly upsetting story but it's relevant to my subsequent comment--

When I was 10 years old I would ride my BMX bike into a large vacant lot that had abandon cars that were stripped, riddled with bullet holes, and/or hollowed out by fire. But there were also small dirt mounds that were fun to jump. I paused to watch some kids do jumps when I noticed an angelic looking boy my age pointing a revolver at my head about 15 feet from me. I could tell the hammer was pulled back and I tried to keep calm by telling myself it was a toy.

We did not break eye contact and ~8 seconds into the staring contest I felt my face involuntarily twist into a blend of defenseless smile and tortured expression. That's when he pulled the trigger and the heavy hammer strike sounded confirming it was not a toy. His focused expression then changed into that special satisfied grin unique to sadists and we both resumed looking at the other BMX riders as if nothing had happened. I don't think his friends noticed the incidence or would have cared if they did.

I saw this repeatedly growing up where angelic looking kids commit crimes with impunity. I didn't have that look so I knew if I were ever to say something no one would believe me and perhaps I'd be the one in trouble. You also don't appreciate events like this as a child since everything is normal to child.

--

At the risk of down votes, the U.S. should come to terms that the ship has sailed regarding meaningful gun control given there are more guns than people. We should teach gun safety practices including hands on training as early as possible in schools. Perhaps by demystifying guns the boy in my story above would have reminded his parents to lock-up there gun, know to treat all guns as loaded, and the criminal penalties his family could face. Perhaps one of his friends would have also have stopped him if we could change the culture.

As a reminder children are curious. Do not ever give your sweet looking child the benefit of the doubt when it comes to firearms. Later today I will ride my dirt bike in there nearby hills where again there are abandoned burned out bullet ridden vehicles, so the above story isn't just in my distant past.

Different societies have different thresholds and criteria for what problems can be solved with violence or the threat of violence.

We can see this manifest in the use of violence by the state authorities. E.g. if state applies capital punishment to certain crimes then this reinforces the idea that violence is a solution to problems.

Whether the state holds this position because the society does or vice versa or some mixture of the two I'm not sure.
There's a similar phenomenon in cordless power tools. Each one comes with its own proprietary connection and hence tools and charging system.

There does seem to be a variation on the "give away the razors to sell the blades" business model here too. Batteries/chargers are much cheaper (like 30% of the cost) when bundled with tools than they are when bought individually. I suspect the bundles are to recruit new customers, after which they buy a few "bare tool" options because they're marginally cheaper, and then they find themselves needing to buy a battery at $90 instead of having paid an extra $30 for a bundle that includes the tool, a carrying case, a battery and a charger.

I know that there are some exceptions for dangerous goods shipping of lithium batteries if they're part of a device versus a standalone battery, but that can't be it, can it?

Yes, I eyeball the migration code. You could call it code review, whatever. There is no way I am running migration code automatically. In fact I am not sure what you mean by "automatically"? As in a non-human triggers the migration? But do you review the code?

First of all, migrations do not happen in my case that often that I need them to run unattended/automatically.

Second, I don't trust any migration system to spit out flawless code. Maybe I have trust issues.

So QQQ was 100 at 2016. Went to 400 in 2021. Should be back to 200 (or less) and still be fairly valued.

But "Crashing" is point of view. I.e. if you short the market (a seller), the market is actually up. I.e. you should not try to time the market but time the DIRECTION of the market.

Also, the Fed is not hawkish, if it could it would not raise rate.

Forcing your consumers to use a style you like is not a "win", it's a power play.
I've always wanted this solved uniformly for values and functions that return them. Say we have a type definition of an argument as T, then any call site could instead pass in a function that returns T in its place.

Then this late-bind default would be an expression for a function returning T where T is the argument type. I would also like this to be extended to only evaluate once if at all.
There are plenty of people who prefer a different environment and culture from what those big companies have. Once the pay reaches level X ( different for each person) other factors become more important.

As someone who suffers from the same problem, something like SuperMemo may be a close enough solution. I've never used it myself, but I know it has features such as "incremental reading" where you add pages to the database and mark pieces of it to read a little at a time.
Right.

Point being that other developing new cities (particularly in the south/sunbelt, think, say, Phoenix, DFW, and Atlanta, which grew tremendously from the 1960s to the present (air conditioning had a huge effect). Or any attempts to make LA more centralised or rationalised in terms of transporation.
I don't think there's a tech bubble (outside of crypto I mean—that's an entirely different story). Tech (and software specifically) is enormously value creative, and I think it would be very difficult to overvalue that. I think it's normal for market valuations to fluctuate in the short term, but in the long term, I expect tech companies to continue providing enormous value and for markets to continue valuing their stocks accordingly.

Yeah, don't bother with too much technical reading without practicing whats inside. It won't get you that far. Its much better to slog through problems yourself. As an example, following directions from GPS reduces the spatial comprehension because it diminishes your experience of navigating through a space.

A big part of why memory works the way it does is because experiences are what get processed and catalogued when you sleep. If that experience is lacking, i.e. simply reading by itself, then the only thing you get are the words-"memes" running through your brain. What you need is that lived physical experience to be imprinted into memory.
Hey, you are right, totally. But the tone of your reply is off.

Watson was mostly data science powered consulting pretending to have/be a product. They played heavily on the Jeopardy thing from a marking standpoint but what they were actually trying to sell was a hot mess.

I do consider this a good milestone in getting past the latest “AI” hype cycle and focusing on what actually works in that space. Sat through too many meetings with non-technical execs saying “what if we apply Watson here?”. The likes of McKinsey were pushing this stuff hard in what they were whispering into executives ears.

This whole recent 'staff engineer' bs is just a made-up concept to get some conference slots, write a book or two and basically talk about talking about working? I mean We've had 'staff' level engineers since forever and now someone comes along and tries to create like this aura around it and formalize what it actually 'means' to be be a staff engineer. You get to read interviews from other 'staff' engineers telling you how to properly 'staff engineer'. I mean get over yourself, you're a senior individual contributor with more responsibility. But you know, if you're not a 'staff' engineer, what are you doing with your life, right? Are you working hard enough? Do you even care about your potential? Buy my book to unlock your true 'staff' potential.
Title? Probably should be

Everything about this sounds like they hired inexperienced sales people and promised them huge payouts if they could close certain deals. The kinds of sales people who won’t hesitate to burn a lot of customer relationships to the ground as long as they could close a few big deals for themselves.

During my brief stint as a manger, I quickly learned that the money for promotions comes out of a different "pot," and that the most highly respected managers were not timid about dipping into that pot. All of the engineers at the highest level at the time, worked for one manager.

That understanding changed how I thought about my own career development after I moved back to an IC role.
> Why do we need to gather even more tax revenue when congress and the fed can just expand their balance sheets to infinity?

Because printing money is an awkward and not very flexible way to raise money.

We should also improve our government then, and get them to address poverty better.

>How many people did it lift out of poverty?

Well, that's a trick question without considering how many were or will be knocked down a notch or two in living standards at the same time, including many pushed into actual poverty themselves, only with lingering downward momentum that "keeps on giving" in ways that are opposite of those being "lifted".
You were making some absolute assertions, so yes, I would expect you to have some actual examples based on real experience. Asking you what homework you based that on wasn’t rhetoric but simply a question because I know multiple projects using OpenSearch who’ve had no problems other than Elastic sabotaging certain clients. It would be useful to know, for example, if there was a certain class of functionality or performance challenge where the difference is significant.
> The tweet included a threatening statement without a clear indication of either satire or comedy and said, "San Francisco Police are currently searching for notorious Islamic Extremist [name redacted]. If you see this individual at RDC please call 911 immediately." The post included a hyperlink to a video titled "SOMEONE BLOW UP ROBLOX NOW," which had been deleted from YouTube in 2015 but was temporarily re-uploaded, and that video (now once again offline) included direct threats to the Roblox Corporation.

I am very skeptical that this fine is deserved. The idea that Islamic extremists would target a Roblox conference in the CONUS is absurd. To me, the fact that this statement involves Roblox is an obvious indication of satire. But I can imagine that a whole bunch of very serious people gathered in a court room would never see the statement from that angle.
Hmm, yeah. I think I see what you mean. Good call. I've pushed a new CSS.
>You still need to manage / expose / dedicate space / maintain your collectibles to enjoy them

This is true. A sense of proportion is always useful. Wouldn't you expect maintenance to be orders of magnitude smaller than creating things in the first place, very generally?

>It can be an investment so it’s really different than buying something to use it

I don't know what you are trying to say. Investment is inherently deferred consumption, and the higher the value, the more consumption is deferred. That leaves more resources for people who need them.

Imagine a stylized society with one rich person who has a billion dollars, and everybody else is poor.

If that person spends their billion dollars on a rare book, then the only thing that has been taken away from society is that book. And usually there is more than one copy of a book, so other people can still read the story, they just don't have the specific physical object.

But if they spend their billion dollars on, say, constructing a palace, then the resources could have been used to build thousands of homes for ordinary people.

Money is not a resource.

Well, part of the goal is also to finish in less than 6 guesses, so surely an optimal starting pattern is best. And since you can't do better than each letter being unique, you might as well ensure those unique letters are both common and ideally positioned. From that point on, the remaining words I guess you could brute force, or combine statistical with statistical to cover best letters first.

I'm sure brute forcing will probably guarantee a win almost always, but will it be, for example a 3 or 4 word win which is pretty easy to do for a human.
Well, if we can't solve every problem in one fell swoop, I guess we should just give up.
For Switzerland I also imagine a lot of assault rifles just lying around from mandatory service
1) The US homicide/violent crime rate has been much higher than most/all of the rest of the developed world for many decades at least.

2) But since the early 1990s violent crime had been consistently declining, which got to the point the decline was taken as almost a baked-in feature of national discourse.

3) Since a blip up in 2015 the homicide rate plateaued, and then jumped by an unprecedented 30% starting ~summer 2020. This sort of spike didn't happen in ~any other countries during this time.

These are the (mostly) uncontested facts, but the debate seems very confused to me because people will point to one or another structural factor as "the reason" for so many American murders, without specifying whether they're referring to 1 or 3 or explaining how that accords with 2 also being true.

My assumption is any holistic explanation that encompasses 1/2/3 will not be monocausal, but it's primarily the dramatic recent spike that's causing public attention and concern, and longstanding structural factors don't seem well-suited to explaining a huge overnight jump in murders after a reversion from a decades-long decline.

Yeah, this is the correct answer and it works with functions or objects.

This is commonly used to implement logging callbacks e.g.

def log_fn(message: str = ''):
print(f'This is your log: {message}')

def run_read_file(file_to_read:str, log_handler: Callable=log_fn):
contents = open(file_to_read).readlines()
for line in contents:
log_handler(message=line)

Haitian Creole speaker here. We're in a weird spot. Where the majority of the vocabulary come from French, the grammar from west African languages, and heavy influence from Spanish and English. Due to the majority of the population not able to write , the language is easy to learn and speak. But the writing is not as precise as French or English, making it a bit tedious when explaining things. Verbs only have one form, with marker words to indicate mode and tense. Numerous words have multiple definitions or are very vague, so meaning is usually conveyed across by using comparisons and analogy. Easy to do when talking and adding a storyteller like to a conversation, but tedious when writing. The redeeming quality is that the grammar is simple and the orthography more so.

The market cap of these companies IMO is possibly misleading.

Much of that gain came after going public, so we are looking at large corporate returns rather than startup returns.

If “startup investing” as opposed to “holding stock of a public company” you might want to measure gains to IPO at most.
> that civil liberties said that businesses can’t ban people for what they look like,

This is wrong. One of these isn't like the other. I expect that whole race and religion are things the aclu would defend, having a beard is not (unless it is for a religious purpose). Freedom of association is a civil liberty, and you're correct that it doesn't change for covid, but it absolutely allows a business owner to kick people out for nearly any reason (race, religion, and gender being some of the few exceptions)
When it comes down to it I doubt most "innovative, potentially competing enterprises" can offer even close to a competitive salary.

> My mom worked for a GP for about 20 years, and it seemed to me that most of what made that guy a doctor was bedside manner + being able to remember a lot of things.

That’s exactly right, but there’s nothing wrong with that.

A good doctor’s memory of patients spanning decades of a career and all of the various treatments that they did or did not respond to is very valuable. It’s a good thing that they offload as much as possible to other people so they can focus on doing what they do best.

Even if your proposition isn't initially designed as such, it will almost inevitably trend towards that. Tweaks to optimize sensitivity turn into increasingly thorough surveillance, suddenly the scope grows. Parkinson's law. Viola, our quaint police state is amplified into some chimeric synthesis of 1984 and some other jackbooted caricature. You can find these trends elsewhere, y'know, basically anything the government is allowed to touch. The old adage "Give them an inch and they'll take a mile."
