Menopause, and no

edit: Actually "menopause" is being a bit glib. Things change in relationships, and often it's very difficult to understand why.
At least here, doctors have a meeting every morning.

It could have actually inspired the daily standup. With the tradition of taking inspiration from surgical teams and everything...
You are not being realistic here.

Not all cases are detected. Unfortunately, rare mutations are missed by panels used in the United States.

This person, who has no Jewish ancestry whatsoever, has a Jewish husband. They got tested for Tay-Sachs using a standard panel in the United States. Their rare mutation for Tay-Sachs got missed and their child had it. :-(

See: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/dragon-mothers-and-grieving-p...

"Rapp was shocked. During her pregnancy she had been tested twice for Tay-Sachs, and both times the test came back negative. She later learned that a standard Tay-Sachs screening covers only the nine most common mutations. Rapp, who is not Jewish, and her husband, who is, were carriers of a rare mutation. To put this in perspective, fewer than 20 children in the United States are born each year with Tay-Sachs to parents who, like Rapp, tested negative and thought they could cross that worry off their lists."

They did everything right.

As I said before, there are also other cases where parents are NOT Jewish at all, and end up having a kid with Tay-Sachs.

Not all parents have the resources to do these genetic tests, and insurance, in the generally speaking, does not cover such testing for genetic diseases such as Tay-Sachs in the United States.

Here is some information from the major Tay-Sachs organization in the United States (https://www.ntsad.org/index.php/insurance):

"Despite position statements from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) stating it is a basic standard of care to screen persons of French-Canadian, Louisiana-Cajun and Ashkenazi Jewish descent for Tay-Sachs, some may have issues with getting coverage for carrier screening. NTSAD can help you appeal for coverage and at the same time educate the healthcare industry about the importance of genetic testing prior to conception.

If you are having problems with insurance covering your carrier test, please contact the office at (617) 277-4463 or info@ntsad.org for assistance with the appeal. We will need your name, address and plan number. The office will provide a letter of support to your insurance company as well as educational materials to present to their medical review team.

It is important to note that while the appeal process and potential out-of-pocket cost of genetic testing may seem daunting, it is a drop in the bucket compared to caring for a child affected by Tay-Sachs, Canavan or another allied disease."
You are correct that freezing accounts and assets is far from unprecedented. It has been used (and abused) as a tool against suspected drug dealers, money launderers, ISIS supporters, and so on.

The difference here is its blank check authority against a reasonable protest objective as a response to certain bad actors within that broader objective and movement. Not everyone involved is creating criminal levels of noise pollution, trying to burn down apartment buildings, or blocking trade routes. Many of them just want good faith protest. If we could just arrest the bad faith actors quickly, and allow the good faith actors to continue protesting, we can simultaneously protect the right to valid protest while protecting the community within which the protest is happening. When you start freezing accounts without due process, that all flies out the window. This is what is importantly different about this particular action by Canada. It is uniquely chilling to the right to political protest in a way that unduly seizing the assets of suspected drug dealers isn't (although I am very much against that too).

The BLM protest movement can be used as an analogy. Would it be reasonable for all BLM support to be effectively criminalized by carte blanche freezing of accounts of people "involved"? No, of course not. The reasonable thing is to arrest those people who are looting or setting up CHOP or whatever, and to allow the real protestors to keep protesting.
Wow, TIL... sealed TDK SA 90's cost $25 each on eBay!

Apparently this is due to a shortage of raw materials as well as market size?

I wonder if the problem could be solved by using other tape formats that might be more readily available, i.e. record audio to proper "good" tape in some other format and then figure out the rest later.
Oh, that's a much harder one than Wordle, this is interesting. I was surprised when "calc" wasn't accepted, I've heard Americans use it so often. Is it not really considered a full word?

The core benefit of CRDTs is to avoid coordination between parties so they can independently mutate data structures and still converge on the final state.

Multiplayer games almost always have a central game server/service that has authority on state so it already provides the coordination. CRDTs are unnecessary and would be extremely slow and limiting.
Cyclists pay taxes like everyone else, so they already fund the construction of cycling infrastructure.
This is exactly in line with my experience as well. There is also an idea that all skilled players are grinders, which in my experience is definitely not true; having more games played than a professional usually signals to me that they're addicted to the game but don't care much about actually improving.
I would submit that any language that reaches the level of adoption that Java does will be considered boring. The human mind has a tendency to prefer new/fresh things, particularly for people high in trait openness (big 5 personality traits).
The author makes it really hard to judge his tone, but I don't think you're reading it right. For example, if you peruse his other articles, it's clear he really likes Haskell (he certainly doesn't consider it evil).

I can't say I understand every one of his assertions, and trying to be funny/sarcastic makes it hard to truly understand the point of his article, which I think is: Java lacks focus and is a verbose language, and therefore you should probably pick something else to solve interview challenges. I tend to agree.
Implementing a Postgres Adapter for Nextauth.js
The right mental model for PEGs is not whether or not it will parse the entire string.
PEGs will attempt to parse some prefix of the string and then stop and leave the cursor there.
Here is a list of strings and how far it will parse (hopefully correct):

a|
a|a
aaa|
a|aaa
aaa|aa
aaaaa|a
aaaaaaa|
a|aaaaaaa
aaa|aaaaaa
aaaaa|aaaaa
aaaaaaa|aaaa
aaaaaaaaa|aaa
aaaaaaaaaaa|aa
aaaaaaaaaaaaa|a
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa|
a|aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaa|aaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaa|aaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaa|aaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaa|aaaaaaaaaaa

Consider your example aaaaa. The PEG will parse the first a, and then the recursive call will parse from a|aaaa.
Now the next recursive call will eventually fail.
Therefore the first recursive call will only parse one a, and then return back to the initial call which will parse another a. So the final state is aaa|aa.

At a high level, the reason for this behaviour is that PEGs are greedy. The inner recursive calls will always parse as much as they can, without regard for the outer calls that still want to parse more a's.
In every system you need some slack otherwise the slightest hiccup brings everything to a halt.

Here the point is not to have an underclass of long-term, exploitable unemployed but to have some slack, ie. a minimum number of people available to ensure the system runs smoothly without shortages and hindrance to business growth and change.

Low unemployment is good and desirable but shortages are not.
If this is a startup, their level of arrogance promises quick failure. Unlikely to be a profitable or pleasant job.
>we've entered an age, where a farmer can't milk their cows, if the software of the milking robot has a hitch...

They're still perfectly capable of milking their cows the old way, it just doesn't make any sense to do so. I think this is a non-problem.
Why do people keep ascribing high housing costs to some nebulous "greed"? Isn't all economic activity due to greed? Anyone trying to choose a lower priced thing to buy or trying to get paid a higher wage is also doing it because of greed.

The parent is right. Shanty towns are the extreme low-regulation end of housing and they're also extremely cheap. It's a matter of how bad we want to allow people to treat themselves and our standards for safety and comfort keep going up so cost does too.
"protected" should be obvious, if you've worked on any non-trivial Java codebase. However, I've been working with Java for over 20 years now, and don't think I have ever actually used "volatile" once. The only reason I know anything about it is because I read "Java Concurrency in Practice" once upon a time, and have a really good memory.

In my experience with concurrent code in the business world, it's more common to enforce immutability rather than try to manage state updates. On the RARE occasions to the contrary (e.g. a "tripwire" flag of some kind?), accuracy is more important that maximum performance, so you would use an atomic class or something synchronized.

Really, I think this example more than anything else just shows that technical interviewing is a speed-dating crapshoot. You just have to interview at enough places to find an opportunity you're excited about, and where you happened to not stumble across any interviewer's personal bugaboos that don't match up with you.
It ends the same way it did the last time. A giant tech market crash, more market consolidation, and massive cultural change.

At this point, things move so fast that operating systems are shipped with known bugs, security flaws, and half baked ideas. They are then patched via over-the-net updates. I think this will stop. People will go back to more traditional development paradigms out of necessity. They also won’t completely trash code bases that have been patched to the point of being reliable and somewhat secure just to make a new thing no one wanted.

My only other prediction is that people will eventually be more conservative about picking tech stacks. They will want proven track records.
>It's for Devs only to make sure they are not blocked and they are communicating what they are working on

Devs on their own could do that, and do it better, before such BS like DSU was invented...
This sounds good but probably isn’t. Let me explain.

The demand for power in Australia doesn’t get any lower by shutting down a power plant. The only thing that will happen is that the other power plants will ramp up to keep up with the demand. A true solution would be to provide new installed capacity to the grid that would price out the existing assets. And if the new capacity is less CO2 intensive than you lowered the emissions.

Question is what is that other source? If generation of the renewables is lower than peak load (times a reasonable factor like 1.5) than you build renewables. Otherwise you focus on bringing power from hours with lots of renewable generation to the rest of the day aka you build energy accumulation. If the accumulation solution is too expensive (either CAPEX or OPEX) than you have to invest in lowering that down. If you lower that down with your money, it will become more favorable for others to build this solution around the world. Others will come and build this solution of yours. This way you effectively lowered way more emission for the same money (assuming you will come up with something reasonable).
Yup, vintage, though you could flash pmOS or LOS or something on it, the SoC firmware is still out of date. There's a lot of insecure Android devices out there. iOS, too, but its at least more obvious in that space.
Let's say you are developing a design application (think figma) which works in the browser. You don't want to lock the whole project just because someone needs to change a label somewhere. With CRDTs n people can open and edit the project at the same time and then push their changes and have them merged.

Very similar to git. When working with git, you don't lock the file or line you are working on.
Why would you treat this group of protestors so much more harshly than ones that, say, block railways? Also, I think a lot of what you're saying is very narrow minded. To get a group of people together to protest anything is a miracle and to expect them all to behave like their some sort of hive mind is just willful ignorance. There will always be bad actors, even with proper leadership. I think you need to spend some time reflecting on your world views or how you view groups of people and compare these protestors with others in Canadian history. I also think your news sources are a little biased.
As pointed out, you could import _ directly into your namespace, or map it to some other shorthand name that doesn't interfere with your naming conventions.

Also note that the _ placeholder isn't the only way that better_partial helps you. You can also use ... to indicate that you want to omit all arguments except ones you explicitly pass as kwargs. For instance:

from better_partial import partial, _

@partial
def f(a,b,c,d,e):
return (a,b,c,d,e)

f(_,_,3,_,_)(1,2,4,5) == f(..., c=3)(1,2,4,5)
I totally see your point of view. However in my experience, there is not enough developer competency for this to fully work. I can imagine lots of developers going off task if things worked in this way - there would be too much freedom, and with that temptation, to over engineer and re-engineer
Democracies never end up in dictatorships? How much historical data do we have on that? I'm pretty sure at least brazil was democratic and then was ruled by military dictatorship (juntas) for a long time. 1940s Germany as well right? I just realized I've never seen the breakdown on that for any length of time, lets say going back to the first republics?

I don't know, it seems like a lot of European countries with a pluralistic party system are heavily "Christian Socialist" (pro free market, pro property ownership, pro capitalist, pro safety net) and they don't seem to be any more prone to slide into dictatorship?

I've actually have never read a compiled lists of stats of what types of government make a country impervious to dictatorial rule.
"full employment" is a misleading term. Unemployment only counts people who have been actively looking for a job in the last 4 weeks, and so excludes many chronically unemployed. In addition underemployment is not counted at all: in today's "gig economy" many people can't find full time employment and have to work multiple part time jobs.

"Full employment" absolutely builds in the reserve army of labor power into the definition.
Thanks! Yes will add this asap
It's really too bad that browsers did not add support for silent auto-playing looping videos to <img>.

Hi! I would suggest you to add an example, as a way to start from it. Would be easier to grasp how to use the app. Also with the added value of viewing a rendered graph, instead of a blank canvas.

As an alternative, you can add a few button examples.

PS: Would be cool if the user can share a link to the website with all the info loaded.

Use two browsers. One where you don't block tracking and can access government and make purchases on shopping sites, and one tracking is blocked and JavaScript is turned off.
Torrents are hard, too. To avoid getting sued one needs to pay a VPN subscription (Paying a business for a service, kind of ironic for a pirate). And even then, people have been caught because they use identifying information to sign up for the VPN. This problem is solved by using a VPN that doesn't keep logs, but how does one know which service to trust? Furthermore, once the data is downloaded, one has to manage it: dealing with hardware failures and the sheer data size. The data can be uploaded to the cloud, but then one risks deletion for copyright violation. The workaround for this is encryption, but then one has the hassle of managing encryption keys at the risk of losing access to their data.
I have come to realize as a senior engineer my job is to be interrupted. I'm equal to any better than any non-entry level engineer (and entry level will advance fast) at typing in implementations, but because I take interruptions from people I can tell them the part they are missing to solve their problem - 5 minutes of conversation with me can turn several weeks of trying to find a solution into 1 day of implementing it. It only takes a few of the above to make me a 10x engineer because I'm helping others avoid false starts in fixing their problems. (and of course when I interrupt someone else they in turn do the same for me - this is a two way street)
Somebody communicating about a blocking situation depending on your input (or output) is not an interruption.

BS "can I pick your mind", chit/chat, questions that could be Googled, and of course, micromanagement BS are interruptions.

DSUs themselves are also interruptions -- it's just that they're scheduled and not event-based.

In other words, necessary communication is not interruption. Accidental communication is interruption (to be read as the same concept as necessary and accidental complexity).

Is there a way to see the “best” solution after you try yours?
Isn’t the issue less to do with “communism” than with concentrating too much power in too few hands? It seems to me all political systems tend toward autocracy and the only thing preventing that eventuality are robust systems in place that disperse power.
The average age of death for Covid is higher than the average life expectancy. You’re going to have a hard time convincing people that is a true crisis.
>teachers can play a big role in fostering a positive learning culture.

My spouse is a teacher... I understand it's difficult to maintain a positive attitude and outlook, and therefore a positive learning environment, when more and more paper pushing, busywork, and administrative responsibilities are being pushed onto them. (No, we don't need more [expensive] administrators. [Teacher/Admin] Assistants, perhaps.)

The cross site tracking is done by a third party. From reading the docs, the way it works is, publisher sets a unique id, browsers send that unique id to the publishers domain, publisher forwards that (via the tag manager app engine) to the third party.
They can seize the gold only if they know where it is. And to convert crypto back into Canadian dollars, you will need to go through the "legacy" banking system at any substantial amount, where it can be flagged with standard tools and you would be arrested.
I think different systems work best at different levels of scale. Power needs to be accountable and visible to the people affected by it. The more local it is, the more you can safely do.

NN Taleb stated it well on Twitter, I think: "At Fed level, libertarian; state, Republican; local, Democrat; family/friends, socialist."

It would not be headline news because bit doesn't benefit any big capital player.

Continuous support of Germany to autocrats is so widely known it even has a name, stabilocracy meaning that a country is ruled by an autocrat that is favourable to German and by extension EU business.

Most blatant support to that kind of leadership happens to be when the German PM and EU commissioners congratulated Serbia on its EU path often just days after some protest or antidemocratic measures done by the Serbian dictator. Or the support that Quinta gave to constitutional amendments which reinforced the control of the current regime over the judicial branch.

> you need some slack

The slack can be heirs forgoing the size of their profits, by boosting wages where needed, as opposed to slack in the wages if the people doing all the work and creating all the wealth.
Thanks! I would love to see it baked in as well. It'd be nice if, (1) all functions defaulted to behaving like better_partial.partial decorated functions and (2) similar to Ellipsis, there was some other special sentinel that we could use in place of _ (to avoid conflicting with the convention of using _ for unused variables).
In other words, rent-seekers in the USSR were called what they are (parasites) and they received the same treatment that the US gives to it’s unemployed and homeless, except the US maintains an economic system that guarantees an unemployed and homeless population.

If you think you’re making the USSR appear less reasonable than the US, maybe think again.
Nice! Simple and to the Point!

A collectivistic society expects everyone to do their part to reach a good standard of living for everyone. 8 hours/day, as was common, to rebuild destroyed countries and economy is less than countless people in capitalist nations have to work today. The biggest difference is, is that this amount of labour is necessary for their own survival, that there is no collective sense, without authorities trying to reward them in some ways to keep them happy, or even showing any appreciation for the work they do.

Socialists don't say that socialism would suddenly lead to less work for everyone, a revolution and rebuilding after a revolution is a lot of hard work, but the work is done for the collective good, not to make a few even richer. It shall have meaning and be valued by society. And yes, eventually - even Marx talked about it already - work that is not necessary and labour that can be automated will become more free time for everyone.
