PBS Nova did a great documentary on Medical Cannabis recently. The researcher they interviewed said that "people seem to think it's either the greatest thing in the universe that cures all ailments or it's the devil's grass. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle".

It can do great things like alleviate seizures in children, but they showed it has issues as well. One example was that those who smoke small amounts to help with PTSD will eventually become desensitized and have to increase their dosage and at higher doses, it could make the patient worse off.
Had me there in the first half. Thought there had been an airplane crash until I saw the "snake on the plane" part of the title.
I literally smashed my Pixel XL with a beer bottle (it tipped into the phone, there's no way a phone can survive that), swapped my sim to my old phone and called their 1-800. Was on the phone with support within 15m, they overnighted me a new one (under the protection plan) without me having to send in the old one, and then the new one had an issue with the proximity sensor, so I used the on-phone support to have them call me instead of waiting on hold. Explained the situation and they overnighted a third one which worked great without needing to return anything. I then sent the other two back. It was very good support actually given the circumstances, and I used that phone for two or three years before getting the Pixel 3XL. After having the 3XL for a little less than two years, I randomly took off the case to show off how nice the phone was without one (it was the white model), and realized the battery was swelling a slight but noticeable amount. It was a day or two before the protection plan expired, I called them via the builtin support functionality, again in a few minutes to check if the claim would be honored, hopped off that call after investing about 15-30m of my time, did a pretty easy claim process (another 5-10m) and had a new phone delivered in about 3 days. Swapped my SIM in, transferred all of my stuff, and shipped the old one. It was seamless and easy.

In general, Google's support is mostly nonexistent. There are harrowing stories of Pixel support, but I have not had them, so ehh.

On the other hand, I have had humorous kerfuffles with Dell in trying to stop them from sending me a replacement unit that turned out to be unnecessary (even though the support rep had issued a replacement ahead of arrival due to a report of damage by UPS). They said we'll ship you one, just let us know if the one that arrives is not damaged and we'll cancel it. Despite me doing that in triplicate they still sent it to me. And then after I spent a bunch more time getting support to understand this, I was able to ship it back via FedEx, and about a month later I got a notice that I never did... Again, was able to remedy this with a chat with support and sending over some proof, but it left much to be desired.
This is how I feel about it too. In some cases, I can look back at times when I did something that my parents would have considered bad and I felt like it helped me rather than hurt.

Those are learning experiences too.
This has been long overdue. Isolated habitat and completely reckless development and planning laws have smashed the population. SEQld has had a massive problem for decades.
Yeah that's the only thing I remember from that movie :)

I mean, seriously, the title was the whole plot.

Very interesting! This is what I would expect. It can run a symbolic algorithm fine, just give it some scratch space to work out the intermediate results. I feel like there's a very large space to optimize the layout "algorithm" -- like how you adjusted step c -- to produce reliable results.

It basically may be impossible. Sure, officially, no doubt they would say anyone can speak up, raise the alarm, etc. However there are usually overriding contradicting incentives. “You slipped on the schedule”, “Creating trouble and making our department look bad”, “So and so raised concerns and got passed up for promotions… that’s not happening to me, no way”.

They wrote a blog about database versioning solutions a little while back, which distinguishes schema vs. data versioning tools. I can't say for sure how comprehensive it is, but presumbly it touches on the more well known solutions.

> Conclusion, they're not gaming words you're just a gamer?

The claim wasn't "originated from video-games" it was "related to games." More broadly, aside from the direct technology terms, most of those are the sort of words that you only encounter in media.

Videogames are a medium that tends to stretch for more words to describe things (as do novels, compared to snappier media like film/music/tv), so it's a very likely point of first exposure for those of us young enough to have grown up with them.
Is there a resource available online? Would love to try implementing this.

How did the snake get in the plane? Perhaps there's some damage somewhere that allowed the snake to slip in?

Landing is the right choice imo.
Because you are time-sharing, there is a strong disincentive to writing complex (long loop) programs. You have to scan for enemy programs, and throughput is important there. So unfortunately it doesn't get very deep.

I suppose you could make it more interesting by battling it out on real systems, a mix of Core War and CTF if you like.

Fortunately there are other programming games such as Robocode, Screeps, yare.io, etc.

> No one goes too long with an untreated HIV infection before symptoms become noticeable

It's not that simple: The chronic phase of HIV is frequently asymptomatic, and frequently lasts over a decade[1]. Even the AIDS phase can last for years before an opportunistic infection causes severe enough illness.

The initial (acute) phase has flu-like symptoms that people typically ignore.

I’ve pored over TC-39 proposals and it seems the general sway of proposals that are moving forward or successful are:

- ergonomics (convenience methods/parity across collection types)

- improve safety for broader use cases (realms etc)

- embrace FP (records and tuples)

- being a good faith language target for typed extensions

Even very narrow type system stuff seems to stall and feels like it’s going to wither in stage 1 or get bikeshedded to death. Proposals which directly overlap with static typing explicitly eschew any of that overlap to be able to proceed.

Part of me wishes Flow had won, even though I’m all in on TypeScript, because at least Flow had an optional story that could be built into the language and allowed to thrive on its merits and adoption. I can’t see a future where TypeScript or some variant gets folded into the language, because despite being gradual it’s explicitly a separate syntax with a build step. And I know the TS team is very engaged with TC-39, but the language syntax is very much in flux, and a Python-style “type hints ignored at runtime by default” is basically a deadlock or at least reasonably threatens to be one.
It was extremely disappointing that NOVA completely failed to mention Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome, and they also falsely claimed that there have been 0 marijuana-related deaths. They really didn't do their research for that episode.
The Mind of the Professional-Managerial Class in SF: Elite Betrayal

Ha, this is neat, I haven't seen the permutation table presented this way before, good stuff.

permute:
; Rather than permuting the 32-bit words stored in the
; COMPRESS_MSG array, we permute the 8-bit pointers stored
; in the MPTRS array.
;
; The permutation is defined to be:
; 2, 6, 3, 10, 7, 0, 4, 13, 1, 11, 12, 5, 9, 14, 15, 8
;
; If we walk those assignments, we get two loops:
; 0<-2<-3<-10<-12<-9<-11<-5<-0
; 1<-6<-4<-7<-13<-14<-15<-8<-1

wow, side effects, stop the presses….

I wish all the scheduled drugs had lists of side effects from actual studies and clinical trials to the FDA standard, just like every other crazy deadly poisonous substance they approve over there. The states aren't cutting it, its just embarrassing at this point that even as recreationally available that this substance cant be at the same standard as other drugs and relies on conjecture.

I hope 2099 explorers the stories of people/replicants away from earth. No need to bring back to old characters (although I guess they could bring back certain replicant models).
> Perhaps there's some damage somewhere that allowed the snake to slip in?

I mean, I agree with your more general point, but for an airliner to operate with unnoticed damage is pretty rare. For a snake to then also climb in through the unnoticed damage? It seems like there are simpler explanations that are much more likely :)
I'm obviously not convinced. Do you have anything more solid than pure conjecture?
One of the commenters in the post wrote this

Can anybody here explain why this is so important?
Blade Runner 2049 I think has my all-time favorite "villain" of any movie I've ever seen. I put "villain" in quotes because he isn't actually a villain at all, and the movie falsely categorizes him as evil. To see why, here's Wikipedia's description of him:

> Niander Wallace (Jared Leto) is the sinister CEO and founder of Wallace Corporation, which dominates replicant production in 2049. A genius genetic engineer, his genetically modified crops and livestock solved a global food crisis – which then gave him enough wealth and political clout to lift the ban on replicant production. Wallace bought out the bankrupt Tyrell Corporation (which had collapsed after several revolts by Nexus-8 replicants). Wallace improved the genetic programming of his new “Nexus-9” replicants to the point that they cannot disobey the orders of humans, even if the order is to commit suicide. By 2049, Wallace Corporation has revitalized the replicant industry and is a major megacorporation with numerous other subsidiaries in other fields, such as Joi unit digital AI holograms.

> Wallace is blind, but uses cybernetic implants in his neck to interact with various computers and “see” through flying miniature camera units.

> The secret of making replicants that can reproduce died with Tyrell, and Wallace is obsessed with learning it. By 2049, Earth is suffering from resource depletion and heavy pollution, and it was Wallace’s genetically modified foods and new replicants that not only staved off extinction, but allowed humanity to spread to the off-world colonies. Nonetheless, Wallace is frustrated that humanity has only spread to nine other planets, when he wants to see it explode across thousands of planets in the galaxy. Lacking the capacity to build enough replicants for such an endeavor, Wallace is convinced that replicants capable of reproduction on their own are the answer.

OK Blade Runner 2049, so you’re telling me that the “evil villain” of your movie saved earth from a mass starvation, got rich off of that, then used his clout and money to smash the regulatory state so that he could give all of humanity personal robot slaves (so no one ever has to do hard manual labor ever again), then cured his own (and presumably others’) blindness, and now is devoting 100% of his resources to Star Trek off onto thousands of other planets across the galaxy? And /all/ by 2049 (which most of us here have a good chance of living to)? That’s your evil villain?! Because all of this seems just 100%, non-ironically good to me[1], and I wished I lived in a world where people could be this competent.

[1] Caveat: Ok, so I’m assuming the Blade Runner replicants are actually just robots without real consciousness/qualia. If they do have qualia, then I definitely wouldn't support enslaving them, and would categorize Wallace back in the “evil (albeit complex) villain” category.
I agree here, but really only Apple is doing okay on this front, with Samsung very slightly better than Google.
Don't feel bad. Everyone is an idiot from time to time. I can see myself doing the same thing.

There is heaps of hype. I’d suggest trying to read up on the actual technology, but even then there’s new terminology.
Anyway, I think NFTs have a good chance of being used to represent real world items in digital systems. So things like supply chain tracking, property ownership certification, ownership of anything eg rare collectibles

Land-use changes across Europe linked to mortality during the Black Death
I like a lot of the points being made here. Some random thoughts:

- Maybe Deno intends to be "just a runtime", compared to Node world, where the Node tool and NPM blur together. It also seems to be attempting to dial back Node projects' exponentially large dependency trees by putting a lot of its effort into its built-ins and standard library.

- Deno is as free a bird compared to Node with its apt/dnf packages, multi-version/LTS support, and its lack of 10 years worth of old-JS cruft. It seems to not be too antsy to get out of its alpha stage.

- I could see Deno start to overtake Node if:

* It develops some mature, popular frontend (Vite for Deno becomes stable) and backend libraries. (And/or they pull off their Node compatibility features.)

* It starts to sell people on a comparatively safer software supply chain than NPM.

Some other perceived benefits would be:

* Performance (not the case now) / the interesting stuff it's doing with its runtime.

* New 'n fun.

I replied with this in a thread further up, but I'll put it here as well: gay men get tested for HIV much more frequently than heterosexual men do.

HIV diagnosis rates are subject to both a latent rate bias and a skewed sampling bias: if the average gay man gets tested 10 times (factor chosen at random) as often as the average straight man, then we would expect higher positive diagnoses in a smaller population without as much (if any) underlying difference in true positive rates.
