The elephant in the room is the ability for the President to issue executive orders that can more often than not impinge on liberties that should be protected by the Constitution.

The CIA will always want more power, that is the nature of the secret services but if the people are bothered, why isn't there more talk of curtailing what the President is allowed to do unilaterally?
That is not necessarily true. I wonder if Omicron is so contagious because far bigger share have mild symptoms and don't stay at home.
I don't think this excludes what the GP said, but this is super important as well. I think of it as second-order reliability: design your software not only so that bugs don't occur, but also so that the user can take practical steps to remedy bugs if they do occur.

(Also, as one of my past companies enshrined as an engineering axiom: "write software to be debugged". Most programmers write waaay too few logs. You know the print statements you add to your code when it's buggy, to track down what's going wrong? Well, do that all the time, and if there are too many then fix that problem with adequate tooling. If it's running on your customers' computers - whether servers or PCs or phones - then store them locally for N days / N logs and allow them to be submitted when a bug occurs. Stack traces - even good ones - are not nearly enough.)
You know the most effective pattern on booking.com to screw your guest? If you have something odd, you cancel their reservation. The guests will NEVER be able to give you a rating, nor booking.com will move a finger to refund them.

This was a fun thing sent three days before the election, which his party was expected to lose. The same judge was vice-leader of this party until his appointment and is known to be ultra-catholic.

Such writing is obviously not directed at him but rather at his staffers. At the lower courts the same tactic actually worked to change staff willingness to make themselves an accessory to crimes. An interesting consequence is later decision were not served correctly because no staffer wanted to put any identifying information on there anymore – this is however a legal requirement for certified copies.

Note I am not actually accusing the top judge of a crime but merely of inappropriate bias.

I am well aware it is important to convey the events in manner understandable to the general public. This has not occurred yet as I had no immediate plan to go public. Before HN the site was only known to a small circle of lawyers.
Compile time would be pretty sweet. I've never looked into it so I don't know for sure.

For the cherry on top, the hotel would cancel your booking on their side - then you won't be able to leave reviews either.
It's unlikely that "2241 + 19873 = 22114" specifically is in the dataset, but very likely that there are many expressions equivalent to that expression in the dataset, and we've just picked one of those.

Imagine someone watching every lottery draw and after each draw going "Wow! the chances of those exact numbers coming up in that order are atronomical!"
I dont think it is just the question of quality of individual. It is result of the way leadership shapes the place, what it rewards or not. People react greatly to the environment they are in.

Whether people worry about being heard, whether being winning is important or not influences a lot how they will discuss. Whether you can afford to remove yourself from the idea is artefact of the environment too.

I'm sure developers also spent all their time working on it. Unlike Battlezone, unfortunately for them, the result was terrible.
Use named prepared statements (the ones where you have to manually DEALLOCATE to free up resources on the server). It is to my understanding that a named prepared statement runs five times using both a custom query plan and a generic query plan, and from the sixth execution onwards it picks the faster of the two and sticks to it for the rest of the prepared statement's lifetime (the query planner never gets called again, for better or worse).

[Thread: SELECT slows down on sixth execution](https://postgrespro.com/list/thread-id/2070689)

If I'm wrong on this, I would desperately like someone more informed on this to correct me because it seems to me that you can force postgres to stick to a query plan, thus obviating the need for query hints
The pipe operator can be replaced by a T.Pipe(Func<T, U>) generic extension function.

The original inventor is often not the best person for explaining their invention. Calculus is a good example. To learn Calculus from Newton or Leibniz would be an exercise in frustration and confusion.

Hamming codes are another example. Although Richard Hamming was one of the first people to apply the mathematics of finite fields to the problem of data corruption the development of the theory after him has been simplified enough that it can now be taught to college undergraduates. I wouldn't want to learn about error correcting codes from Hamming directly because its likely that his original formulation would not have been as clear as what is currently taught in undergraduates courses.

This is the case for most mathematical fields. The original inventors often miss out on useful abstractions that make the original idea much easier to learn and understand.

> Yes, we know Covid-19 isn't the flu, and it's more deadly.

This isn't a true statement. It depends on the age group. Flu is far more deadly to young children whereas COVID rarely even results in a cold in younger children.

But to your point, basically any infection that causes systemic inflammation can increase heart disease risk. Even the common cold is dangerous for people at high risk of heart disease.
Think a study should consider duration of symptoms as well as how often they occur.

I have had post-viral symptoms after flu a few years ago and long-covid now. Recovery after flu was about 6 months, I'm coming up to two years with long-covid.

Due to a misconfiguration by my local ISP which meant Google services were not accessible, I discovered that the UK government's 'parliamentlive.tv' has a dependency on JQuery loaded from Google's CDN.

You might say that it's up to the UK government to fix that, and I agree, but as an individual with no direct influence on the implementation of this service, it's also clearly not the case currently that:

How many of those countries rapidly building new green planta are actually below France's GHG emissions? Germany definitely isn't, much of Europe isn't (and where they are, they typically also use nuclear). The USA is laughanly far off.

So, it seems to me that while many grids are switching to renewables, they are still far away from matching Nuclear's emissions.
Look at supplementary figure 2. Their attempts to normalize the data do not eliminate the bias. The Covid-19 cohort is significantly sicker, even after adjustment.

This paper is discussing small differences in small numbers, and the single biggest difference between groups is the baseline level of health for the study participants. About the only thing you can say from this is that old, sick people are sicker after Covid-19 severe enough to put them in the hospital.
Thanks for the clarification.

I'd add that endemic also doesn't mean mild.
This news report just looks like slinging dirt at Labour. The details seem very vague. Really this seems like some sort of scare piece.

It does sound insane, but sometimes these things are founded.

Some DevOps engineers code, some dont and it can depend on the organisation / tasks they are involved in. Some DevOps engineers will code extentions to some of the tools they use, to cover off tasks that may be unique to their orgainisation. One example could be writing Python modules for Ansible or SaltStack to be used n the configuration of their internal servers and platforms. Some may need to code applications to act as in an interface between existing Off-the-shelf applications (e.g. get the build server to update ticket status in Jira / ServiceNow depending on the outcome of the automated tests).
We will just have to agree to disagree then, for me the Square vs Rectangle inheritance issue is the simplest possible example of the problem, where trying to model an inheritance hierarchy "the right way" directly impacts the structure of your code in a detrimental way, and the solution is to avoid OOP silliness in its entirety.

Even in the immutable case if you have a Square inherit from Rectangle it still stores 2 separate fields for width and height (that it inherited), which are unnecessary. The only winning move is not to play.

There is no sensible way to `break` the iteration while mapping. That's not what `map` is for. In fact, there's very little reason for anyone to need `break` ever. The use of `break` implies an effectful procedure rather than a pure function, so at this point you're not really doing Functional Programming.

Let me know what it is you're trying to achieve — at a high level, not in terms of specific implementation details — and I can show you how this might be expressed without using anything as low-level as a `for` loop.

The vast majority of humans don't just see a few examples and figure it out. They're taught an algorithm. Eventually they may also come up with another algorithm, but they're taught one first.

They also don't have "100% precision". Many, many humans are incredibly bad at math, and even the ones that are good at it often make mistakes.
I think any immune response could trigger miocarditis in you. You got it after a covid vaccine but you might have gotten it after another vaccine or a flu or a cold.

Probably prior infection to covid put you at greater risk of getting miocarditis for any reason.

I hope it'll get better for you in the long run. Take care.
> In the EU?

Most instances were in Switzerland as I mentioned, although a few were in the EU. Some weren't defective items but rather unneeded items. Returns based on changing one's mind, even if the item is in unused condition and remains re-sellable, seems to not be a "thing" in at least several European countries whereas American consumers typically expect these consumer protections not by law but by convention.

Another electronic device was defective, and even after selecting this in the online purchase return form I was charged a restocking fee despite returning the item within a few weeks of purchase. Not budging on this and refunding the fee would be unheard of for any serious US retailer.
It doesn't. There's a single tool for laying tracks that you can click or pull, but only in a straight line. I'm not sure how could it figure out what you want between two arbitrary points. There's always other tracks, terrain, something in the way.

Nice! It turns out we have a few (12) pumping stations here as well, but there is little information on how often they've been used. The high electricity prices we've seen lately have reactualized this, with spikes of around $1 USD/kWh.

While I'm far from trusting booking I used late cancellation several times in EU. Usually those offers were more expensive, but I was charged late as promised (like a day before reservation date) and if cancelled before it just worked.

Usually I'm more worried that their places usually just get my credit card number in plain text, write it down in a notebook and some frontdesk person simply uses that CC numbers to charge me on my first day there or so, manually entering it into CC terminal.
Hopefully this starts supporting accessibility tools before it gets too much traction and people start shipping inaccessible apps. The WebAssembley output demos on the homepage just render to a <canvas> and are completely inaccessible with any of the usual tools (screen reader, keyboard-only, voice dictation etc) but there's a GitHub issue (https://github.com/slint-ui/slint/issues/32) so fingers crossed.
And isn't it trivial to generate lots of correct sample data ? :-)
See, that's exactly what I didn't get. I just figured that hotels signed up on Booking.com and that the hotels would handle the customer service side of business.

I worked with a few price comparison sites, and they've all been run by somewhere between a handful and maybe 100 people, so I figured that Booking.com would work the same.
Maybe this is an example of where you need an "extra specialized skill"(arithmetic) vs the general and semi-ambiguous-skill of language+conversation.

GPT-3 is "good with conversation (language)"

High availability + uptime is now necessary for any business no matter how small. If you need to run 24/7 available high uptime services you can’t avoid distributed systems one way or another. (Distributed systems vary by complexity of course but anything that has some failover type of mechanism is going to be a distributed system )

Also, industry is now transitioning where even small business might need geo distribution , not just for compute but also for data. That is going to make distributed systems even more complex even for the small guys.

Cloud services have made a lot of this stuff easier for average Joe but you can’t really avoid dealing with at least some fundamental concepts of distributed systems
You can try to wordsmith and twist the logic all you want. Telling someone “resign and do what I want, or else” is an ultimatum and bordering on blackmail. It is an ultimatum that is directly counter to your stated goal as well, which to “allow the voters to decide”. That’s you deciding for them.
> or do you include it as an epigenetic factor?

Well, in my mind `epigenetic = biological age * food intake`, where `food intake` is 'is he eating a consistent healthy diet, given that a typical person not eating healthy will surely says that she's eating healthy'. It's (unfortunately) enough to be >30yo, having bad genes around cholesterol handling pathways and eating a standard american diet (even without significant overweight) to be in the danger zone in terms of cardiovascular risks.

ApoB in the golden (and recent) blood test here. OP: given that you have experienced chest pains, and if it's not the case already, go have your ApoB checked and ask for statins if needed: your 60yo you will thank you.

And, in my own and non-important opinion: don't waste your time even thinking about potential link between your condition and covid/vaccine, this is a path that leads nowhere in terms of prevention of futures attacks.

Well, that's their problem.

I think that's a deliberate decision. They know that by the time it gains adoption even C++20 will be "old". By pinning the requirement high now, while there will mostly be early-adopters, startups, open source projects etc there's less of a cost.
There are plenty of legitimate services that do this. Even if they weren't, the fact that you're reselling bandwidth isn't going to get "yourself and your customers hacked". At worst, you'd get a few IP bans.
