There is "open carry" and "concealed carry", but I've never heard the usage you are asking about. I suppose that if one had a knife sheathed and attached to their belt, but was wearing a jacket that concealed the knife, that might qualify.

I know of people who were legally openly carrying a firearm and got convicted of carrying a concealed weapon because of a jacket. The laws vary by state, so such a thing is possible in some states.

I was hospitalised for a month and didn't ask any questions, because I couldn't - I was dying. But if I had more capacity I would have requested vegan options. Once I came to I did refused any non vegan hospital food - which meant I only ate plain boiled potatoes.

So I was grateful for the medicines I received then that may have been tested on animals or may have had animal ingredients. But I still advocate and prefer medicines to not be tested on animals and to not contain animal ingredients. I think we have a vast amount of untapped technology that could avoid that.
Here's a better way to put it. Alcohol never was good for your heart. IN fact it's bad for your heart and does nothing good for your body. That is what the WHF means when you ignore all the semantic pedantry.
Typewriter ribbons that were 2 colours were always black and red. (I presume that was a carry over from when your main ink would have been black or possibly blue, and the alternative would have been red).

As your normal credit entries would have been black, if the "bottom line", the sum of your accounting book column was negative, showing a loss, you would emphasize it with the red type.

> The patient, David Bennett, a 57-year-old Maryland handyman, knew there was no guarantee the experiment would work but he was dying, ineligible for a human heart transplant and had no other option, his son told The Associated Press.

> There’s a huge shortage of human organs donated for transplant, driving scientists to try to figure out how to use animal organs instead.

> Dr. Bartley Griffith, who performed the surgery, said the patient’s condition — heart failure and an irregular heartbeat — made him ineligible for a human heart transplant or a heart pump.

> The majority of ethicists agree that normative statements can express true statements.

What do you think is a good candidate for such a statement? My impression is that arguments must proceed from axioms, positive axioms aren’t helpful because the statement is normative and normative axioms just reproduce the issue.

> medical ethics is a prescriptive and lexical ethics, one that you must follow if you are to practice medicine.

What is the meaning of “lexical ethics”? Google didn’t return anything helpful.

I believe the essence of the claim you are making is that, “There is a powerful enforcement body that will only permit doctors to practice medicine if they do no harm and render treatment in accordance with their means.” I think this a positive claim about human behavior, a proposition potentially belonging to the set of sociological or historical facts.

I suspect the family is talking about the way things ought to be, “Heart transplants should go to good people”. And you are pointing out that the doctors are responding with a positive claim, “That’s not what we do here.”?
Chaos is useful because (1) the output depends heavily on the precise input, and (2) the output spectrum is unique for each input value, so the transmissions interfere with exceptionally low probability. Think of them as hashing functions, mapping an input value to many output bits distributed evenly across some bit range.

If you encoded the measurement as a frequency, and realizing that the frequency will have some finite bandwidth, nearby sensors with almost the same value will obscure each other. If I want to get an accurate estimate of the mean measurement, counting the number of very similar input values is critical. You can, of course, have the transmit frequency equal to some scaled version of the measurement plus a transmitter ID frequency. While this doesn’t require any dynamic negotiation to avoid interference, it does consume more bandwidth than the chaotic oscillator case.
I recently bought a 16GB DDR3 upgrade for my T420, purchased in 2011 from the Lenovo outlet store. Sure the bezels date it instantly and the battery life can't compare to an M1 Macbook, but in many ways it's the last "real" Thinkpad that's usable.

It's the last model with the old-style 7 row keyboard, and when my display cable flaked out in 2012, IBM(!) was still in charge of honoring the warranty. I got a box shipped to me that I put the laptop in, it got overnighted for repairs, and overnighted back. It's a chunky and hefty device by today's standards, but that's part of the charm. Swapping in a battery feels like reloading a weapon (especially the 9 cells).

16 GiB is usable in 2022, with exotic upgrade options for CPU (you can go to Ivy Bridge via a BIOS flash (!)), and external GPUs are an option as well (PCMIA !!!). There are 1080p screen retrofit kits, with the main liability going forward probably being the reliability of third-party 9 cell batteries.
Box girders in a concrete bridge are hollow, meaning a measurement system could be inside where it is dark.

> The homeless issue in the US is much more of a drug addiction and alcoholism problem than a down on one's luck problem. Something like 90% of the homeless are in that category.

Where'd you hear that? I've been watching a lot of Soft White Underbelly, interviews with people on Skid Row, and that doesn't really seem to be the case in general although there are a few [1]. Invisible People also does interviews with homeless people more widely and it's even rarer there [2]. Most of the time it just comes down to them not being able to afford to not be homeless and not having anyone to turn to. Without a home, they have no way to keep clean, receive mail or do anything else they need to do in order to keep a job. So it's a catch-22 for most. Without security, they are assaulted, get robbed (of even their basics), arrested and never get to rest, so there's a lot of positive feedback loops that can quickly make things even worse.

> with off-shored real-time tutoring providing most of the value

Yes, a critical part of the Illustrated Primer was that it was paired with real-time tutoring by a remote human, and turned out to be most effective when the remote human was regularly the same person who cared for the child on the other end.
> If it’s a really important business letter you should probably find out the persons gender using some other channel.

Preferred form of address, not just gender, and this has been the rule for quite a long time. Even within the classical binary, there are all kinds of variations of status, preference, relationship with the sender, etc., that feed into that.

John Smith (a man) might be properly referred to in a salutation as any of:

“Mr. Smith”

”John”

“Dr. Smith”

“Your Excellency” (without the “Dear” that would prefer the others)

“Rev. Smith”

“Father Smith”

(And most of these correspond to one or more different forms that would be used in the main address, as well.)

It also tells you how much time that feature has saved you, which is kind of fun to see.
A phone is a poor hosting device in a conventional sense, because it's battery powered and keeping the connection up will drain the battery. If you want to P2P-host something via your phone, it should be a service that can somehow piggyback on the ephemeral network connection strategy that mobile devices are already using. The closest thing I've seen to that might be SecureScuttlebutt, but even then it's not ideal. IPFS hosting might also work, but again only on a highly ephemeral basis.

I'd only reach for it for certain types of DSL where infix greatly eased readability (perhaps templating). I would also run it by a handful of people before committing it to verify I haven't gone completely insane.

Fwiw kotlin supports infix operators as well and they shine in dsl use cases.
It's gonna take a lot of older folk. Being "green" is trendy but it's not really like younger generations are sewing their own clothes out of recycled materials. The only thing that will stop climate change is lucky geoengineering breakthroughs, no generation is willing to give anything up for it.

Same thing happens in pandas when composing conditionals in a selection operation. You need to use `|` instead of `or`, but its precedence is low so you need to add parens:

Heck 330 USD is also probably on the higher end. In India (which is considered the "expensive" country in South Asia) it is pretty easy to find full time household help for $200/mo even in large, expensive cities. Stuff like iPhones and imported cars, however, cost double their price in the states.
I really doubt this. Programming doesn’t have the kind of cartel dynamics mixed with prestige obsession that resulted in dualists labor markets. It doesn’t have licensing based on credentials that have no effect on how well you do your job like K12 teaching, nor is it remotely as prestige obsessed as law firms.

Any evidence?
I think it is more teenaged mentality trying to be helpful disabling system protection, and otherwise tweaking the heck just because they believe it is the best experience.

It's not easy and not very common.
It’s not just zoning. It’s things like urban growth boundaries, which arbitrarily contain available land and encourage more dense housing, both of which drive up prices. All so that we can “conserve” an extremely plentiful commodity: open land.

The point is that there's a gigantic gap between supply and demand, and a lot if not most of the supply goes to waste because you can't stockpile hearts. They need to be harvested from a compatible donor and very quickly transplanted. The odds of finding a compatible match are not great.
How did that work out overall? I really like that idea, but I haven't heard of it before. People seem very motivated to stick to career tracks.
Yep you are absolutely right. People routinely get offended by anything that they don’t agree with, and often interpret whatever is said using the worst possible out of context straw man interpretation. I personally get offended when PC advocates whip themselves into a frenzy over the slightest misunderstanding. So I guess I should blame those PC advocates for harming me?
> I already said: First time surgery that might not work is an experiment as much as a treatment.

I don’t think changing the name of what happened from “treatment” to “experiment” tells me anything new. If another person with a roughly identical health status but without the violent history is also willing to accept the pig heart, then the decision must be made to use the scarce resources to treat Ed or the “non-violent” person.

> we'd find ourselves regarding this operation as his sacrifice for the greater good.

I agree that people may be talking about the transplant and Ed differently had he died on the table.

As a front-end veteran, I have to point out that the increasing complexity of front-end projects nowadays makes the dependency installation slower and slower.

At Alibaba and Ant Group, Engineering Productivity is an important metric for engineers, and the speed of installation of front-end dependencies is a big negative impact factor.

We started an initiative in 2021, one of its goals was to optimize the installation speed of dependencies. We managed to speed up the dependency installation by 3 times.
This is indeed annoying, but you should probably just embrace stderr as stdNonPipeOutput and call it a day.

One of my workarounds for utility scripts is to go waaaaaaaay overboard and output results and log output as JSON-per-line.

I've written worse...
I've been asking these same questions for a long time.

But I think only certain experts are allowed to be trusted.

And the experts to be trusted are determined by people who are not experts.

It's confusing.

It's like there needs to be an expert on experts. But then we would need an expert on expert on experts to know which expert on experts to trust.

So it's pretty confusing to me.
> Texting on iPhone just works.

Downloading Telegram, Signal, Discord, WhatsApp, or the number of third-party messaging applications that is widely used by a number of people, within and outside the blue bubble of the US "just works" as well. And unlike iMessage, these platforms let you chat with other people. What's so wrong with that? Is it too much friction to click to install a (superior with objectively tons more features than iMessage that work on all its platforms) third-party messaging client? Telegram even has games, which are quite popular amongst the teenagers, just like iMessage.

> but only if they are methods on the class

C# got around this by introducing extension methods. You put static methods inside any static class whose namespace you've imported and label the first parameter with `this` before the type name. Then you're able to call that static method as if it was an instance method on anything that is or implements the type of the first parameter. Basically it's an explicit version of D's unified function call syntax.

I think the pipeline operator is nicer, but extension methods aren't a bad solution.

Apparently one of the "luster dusts" was 25% lead, and another was pure copper dust, which is also pretty toxic if ingested. Lead sulfide (galena) is 86% lead, shiny when in large crystals and probably low enough toxicity that you could label it as "nontoxic". https://www.mindat.org/mesg-361788.html says the oral LD50 of galena in guinea pigs is 10000 mg/kg, which is about three or four times less acutely toxic than table salt. But table salt doesn't accumulate in your bones and brain over time, so seasoning all your food with galena would still be worse for you, even if you didn't chip your teeth.

I thought lead metal was maybe also inert enough to prevent lead poisoning from metal ingestion—just as you can drink substantial quantities of metallic mercury with no ill effects—but that turns out to be wrong. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead#Toxicity says, "Most ingested lead is absorbed into the bloodstream," and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_poisoning#Lead-containing... says, "Ingestion of metallic lead, such as small lead fishing lures, increases blood lead levels and can be fatal.[126][127][128][129]"

If you're poor, you're lucky if you have a place (many don't) let alone heating and air conditioning (are you kidding?), what you can afford to eat is terrible nutritionally and obviously you can't afford medical or dental going into without life-ending debt. And this is when we're talking about the US, not even a poor country.

Yes. On my Debian Stable desktop the only packages that required it were:

* rtkit - optional dependency of PulseAudio to grant its processes realtime priority.

* colord - optional color profile dbus service.

* gparted - hard dependency to give it permission to reformat disks.

I like to keep a minimal system, so I went ahead and removed them all. Will see if audio performance suffers.
When dealing with hierarchical filesystems, a trailing slash means "is a directory" -- see CLI tab completion. A static site is a filesystem. From this perspective, if there might be child pages, a trailing slash makes sense.

But URLs don't need to correlate with filesystems -- see "clean URLs" in various php-based routers (all non-asset URLs are rewritten to load a single script). From this perspective, I agree with you.
I was only hoping to have another platform available, but it's not worth keeping the TV turned on all the time.
> What do you think is a good candidate for such a statement?

Here's an intuitive one: "you shouldn't kick puppies." Most people think that expresses a true statement (not that "most people" is itself indicative of truth value).

In terms of my own ethics: "act only in a way that you can will be universal law." Of course, not everybody agrees with that one, but I think it's an awfully good candidate.

We can talk about if and how those proceed from axioms, but I suspect that'll be a long thread :-)

> What is the meaning of “lexical ethics”?

Sorry: lex is in lex, legis, "law." Medical ethics don't concern themselves with normal moral objects or even moral laws in the deontological sense; they are literally a book of rules that doctors (broadly) are not allowed to disagree with.

So yes, I think it's correct to read the doctors' responses as a positive claim: they're pointing out that it's a category error to appeal to their (potentially true!) moral beliefs.
I had a fellow American friend who lived in Bali for a year in the mid-70s. When he arrived, he shopped for his own food and cooked it. But he found that, since the merchants charged people by their social class, he could hire a housekeeper and have them buy and cook his food for the same price as buying his own found. And people expect him to do this.
The weird thing about saying "Do not save those who took another's life" is that you are saying, "The person took a life. That's bad. We should punish them for the bad thing." Then saying, "Let's take their life to punish them." (not saving a life you could being essentially the same as life taking, to me, here).

To me, you are undermining your view that life-taking is bad, by engaging in it yourselves. To me, this is a paradox. You seem to be standing up for your belief in the badness of life-taking, by doing something against those who do it, then you do something which goes against the very thing that you are trying to protect--which, to me, makes it seems like you are merely pretending to protect.

So, to me, their moral claim (?) that they are somehow "better" than this life-taker, and therefore have a right to say/do this life-save withholding, is completely undermined by their action of said withholding (or proposal to do it).

On the other hand, my ape-brain very much endorses the logic of revenge and sees no problem with an eye for a eye. It will teach people a lesson, let them know they can't mess with us, and let them know there are consequences if they try. Hopefully, my ape brain says, that will make us safer and rest easier, in future.

But the logical/rational part of me trying (but maybe failing) to consider this from an ethical or moral point of view, says, "Nah, that doesn't work."
