FWIW, CPython officially follows Microsoft’s support schedule on Windows systems, so versions ≥ 3.9 won’t even install on Windows 7. (Some reasonable people like it and some don’t, but this has been the official stance for a long time.)

As for MSI, I’m torn: it is the most widely-supported and reliable packaging approach for Windows and, at the same time, a 20-year-old undocumented dumpster fire of an archive format spliced together with a scripting language forced into the mold of an allegedly-SQL relational database for which it is the sole user, and I can’t really find it in myself to blame Microsoft for wanting to kill that.

(At the same time, they also cheerfully promote an admittedly documented 10-year-old metadata format [WinMD] grafted onto a bytecode+metadata format for a different platform [.NET] packed into a Win32 executable format [PE] that is built upon an early and obsolete SysV object file format [COFF] with a stub executable for DOS [MZ] prepended in contravention of the original spec—as a substitute for a 30-year-old undocumented metadata format [TLB] that is actually two different incompatible formats [SLGT or MSFT] but at least doesn’t have so many layers, so I can’t exactly promote them as a shining beacon of logic and sanity either.)
maybe they're less incompetent?
They are. We get exactly one unit of information about #1, that they "complain[ed]".

If we don't treat the assessments of #1 and #3 conversational prowess as tautological, there is no information to be had. Why isn't #1 the straight shooter and #3 is an suspected silver-tongue bullshitter?

No reason at all, because the whole article is just-so or non-falsifiable.
Yeah, I did the maths on that (and similar from GCP and Azure) and deep archive could be less expensive, but the cost of not only restore but also egress made me quite apprehensive.

The current monthly cost is totally affordable and in the case I need to restore I’m not facing any additional charge… Now, I’m backing up a bit over 1TB - depending on the amount of data you might come to a different conclusion.
My overall argument is, I don't know what to do about Andre right now, but throwing him in jail isn't going to help (I'd be willing to bet he's already spent time there actually). What will help reduce future "Andres" right now is ensuring people aren't living in a destitute situation and missing out on a decent education and generally partaking in society. That's like the absolutely fundamental first step to having a functioning society. You can't throw people by the wayside, but we (NA) do it in droves.
I don't read it that way at all. They're very clearly criticizing the idea that it would.
This would be fine on a per user basis, but if your "downvote" informs baseline results, it can also be gamed, with people burying each others' sites by sending malicious negative signals to google about them.
Possible better security/performance through better architecture?
It is very likely they learned from all of that tho. Imo, the goal is not to turn them into obsessed geeks or anything like that.

The goal is to give them enough base that they will be able to catch up whenever they decide or whenever they need. And so they dont end up clueless or scared of technology. I think that scratch does that job to large extend - they learn a bit of thinking procedurally, have some fun with moving pictures and them move onto something else.

Also, most programmers were not obsessed by the age they were 8. A lot of good programmers started to seriously approach it only later or after then encountered something that clicked. Or had this as one of many interests. All of that is fine.
I will echo this, I was on a 7 and it broke, so I got a regular model 12. The phone itself feels much faster, it loads quicker, the batteries last longer and the screen is much nicer to look at--but some of the apps I use are about the same for opening/loading time. I blame the apps not the phone; some are much better--Pokemon Go for example loads in just a second or two on the 12 but takes 30 or so on the 7.

This is a staggering misrepresentation of what Councilmember Juarez wrote. (I will point out by way of potential bias that CM Juarez is the councilmember for my district and I voted for her in the last election.)

Seattle PD is the problem in a lot of ways. We've made one simple ask of them: stop arbitrarily shooting people. They have failed in that task, and every time we, the voters, try to hold them accountable, we are told that "the Mayor doesn't supervise the police department" or "Office of Police Accountability has no authority" or "the consent decree prohibits us from passing that ordinance."

CM Juarez, who is a person of color I might add, is correct that the actual statistics say that being a person of darker colored skin around a Seattle PD officer is a risky endeavor. So adding more badges and guns to the street won't do much.
I think they literally mean “they receive government assistance that allows them to have a roof over their head”. Where does the part about “choosing parents” even come from?

The comment you were replying to wasn’t making any sort of a judgement, what they said was straight up just factually describing the current situation. They weren’t blaming Andre for becoming homeless. They were using him as an illustration that just giving free housing isn’t some magic pill that will solve everything, and the effective solutions need to be more comprehensive than that.
As long as companies can measure a return on ad spend (ROAS) of >1, their ads are delivering value and they'll keep spending. The book you're naming seems to be saying that they can't actually measure ROAS. But that just seems... out of touch? Clicks are tracked from the ad, to the storefront, to the buy button, to the final exchange of money; it's pretty measurable. A ton of internet-only brands get almost all of their sales just from advertising -- are the dollars in their bank accounts lying to them?

Of course, there's the fantasy that events like IDFA deprecation will make the ad market crash. Spoiler: IDFA deprecation has been more of a blip than a bomb. Advertisers rapidly found ways around it (whether those ways are in TOS compliance or not). Then there are the brands coming into the space just looking for impressions -- think of your old school giants like Coca Cola. They're already comfortable with fuzzy, somewhat unknowable returns.

Haven't read the book but I have close contact with multiple people in the industry. And as I said, their results are right there in dollar signs. (For the record: I'd love to believe the ad market actually is threatened, I'm not arguing for it and personally I block ads.)
Also they aren't stealing one pack of diapers. They are filling trash bags and walking out of the store because they know the loss prevention can't physically stop them and west coast cities have implemented policies that make it useless for police to arrest them (charges get dismissed by activist DAs).
I burn wood pellets to heat my house. Wood pellets are a convenient, relatively high density energy storage system. Pellets are also carbon neutral (other than the supply chain, which, in the US, tends to be regional rather than global). I'm concerned that the metal uptake might be problematic. I assume you are engineering trees with various combinations of properties. . .
If this is true, then no American company can do business in EU.

I'm well aware. I chose the example to somewhat mirror what happens at the native posix level with addresses. It's the same structure, but can only be built in specific ways. Probably should have actual stated something to take effect.
It sounds like they're brokering in carbon tax credits, especially given the new U.S. subsidies for carbon capture.

i.e. We'll give you seeds to plant on your own land but we retain all the rights to carbon subsidies and credits.
What I often do is take vacations to check out areas I want to live in. In the past I've been to SF, Miami, NYC, etc each for a week to scope out what the area is like. I'd recommend doing that if you can, especially since you work remote. Take a week or two and go there (could be vacation/PTO or just work during the weekdays) and see how it is for yourself before committing to moving anywhere fully. There were many cities I thought I'd like but I just didn't after going there, like Miami.

EU will continue for now, but there's a significant push to move away from Russian gas in many European countries in the next year or two. And if Russia takes over all of Ukraine, I expect sanctions to target energy as well. If they target oil, Putin has threatened to shut off European access to gas - we will see if that's a bluff or not.
The key difference between 1 & 3 is how the concern was framed. For former sees it as a problem and issue with no immediate solutions, whereas the latter sees it as a unique opportunity for improvement. Most CEOs embrace the "growth mindset" and would invest in individuals that possess that quality.

Yes, that’s true, but short-sighted. Trees don’t live forever. Wooden artifacts don’t last forever. Storing wood above ground requires constant maintenance.
4 years planning, That is normal before for starting construction. There are environmental studies to be done first to ensure any damage to the environment the work would cause can be mitigated. There are permits to be issued which must include the mitigation measures. Some design work must be done to get the permits so they know what they are permitting. Land must be purchased, transmission right of ways granted. Enough design work must be done to place the order for long lead time equipment, such as wind turbines. How many, how big, where do they go for best ROI? Some of these permitting steps face opposition and negotiations must take place. This is the process real world infrastructure projects face.

No... They're treated as part of your comp - just a part of your comp that fluctuates with stock performance. I'd read some articles about Google/FB compensation to get a better idea of how it works. Plenty of companies have been changing their comp structure to be more appealing. (getting rid of 1 year cliff, etc.)
I think the difference is that, if x later becomes > 5, y doesn't suddenly get increased by 3.

By contrast, in CSS, if the condition later becomes true, the declarations in it do start to apply. So I also think "when" (in the sense of "whenever") makes more sense than "if".
Current law in the UK is 10% plus 2 mph, which I think is fair? Majority of drivers seem to have a default of limit plus 20% which results in a lot of tailgating for those of us who insist of staying legal.

The law states that all robotexts are forbidden except for political messages that were sent manually.

>I don't think I registered a party affiliation, so it's not exactly like I opted in to this.

Possible that the list is derived from state databases indicating that you are registered to vote. This is separate from party databases. Just throwing out that possibility as well.

>I appreciate that this is an effective way to get people to vote, and more voters is a good thing. I vote. Unfortunately it's hard to sympathize with a party when the message is delivered as an unsolicited faux-personalized distraction in a way that I can't easily block.

Well now you know that they are being sent by a human being and how to stop them for a campaign so hopefully they won't be such a nuisance in the next election cycle.

Was wondering if I could get your opinion on some of these things.

I have been thinking of ways to increase voter turnout. Currently the three ways are

1. Go door to door and have a friendly chat with people. (The most effective way bar none)
2. Send out a handwritten letter to people across the country. This is something that seems to get less likely voters to be more likely to come out, a handwritten letter discussing how the election matters to the person writing it. I guess it humanizes the election and helps some people understand that these election helps/hurt their fellow citizens. (kind of effective)
3. Send out text message/phone call to get a conversation going. There is someone on the other side and you can text/converse with them. (least effective)

What do you think should be done to change the needle? Which ones of the above would you respond to positively?
The change was done in 2011, so very likely the geographical-based system applies to anyone fielding collections agency phone calls in the present day.
There is not infinite transmission capacity in all directions. It is difficult to get permission to build new transmission lines, which are also expensive.

We don't need to get to poverty levels to be carbon neutral. But we need to stop consuming for consumption's sake, and reduce some important bad habits. The structure of pricing must also change. People don't feel poor for not being able to eat caviar daily today, they don't have to feel poor for not affording beef daily tomorrow either.
Any alternatives? I don't think I can use youtube on mobile without this app.

Again, you are missing the point, or the people who are advocating that are misleading you. I do believe if you give people a place to live it is cheaper than any other solution. On 20 year time frames.

The homeless people who cause problems are now are, for a lack of a better word, fucked. It would cost tons of money to get these people the rehab, therapy, and education they need to reintegrate into society. It would be politically impossible (and probably financially unfeasible) to implement these changes. A better solution is just not creating these people in the first place. That is what housing first policy tries to achieve.

The vast majority of these people stories are the same - due to systemic poverty issues they weren't able to have stable housing and could not go to school or land a stable job. It was then they started petty crimes like doing drugs/stealing, and once they had a dependency on that lifestyle, they became a regular criminal over 10-15 years. Anyone who tells you they are going to undo 15 years of trauma within the next 3 years is selling you a lie.
I have found their search to be less and less useful for things like this when it used to be great. Even searching in quotes has gotten much less "exact". If you really want to do an exact search you have to quote it AND now also check a box for "exact results" in the little search options dropdown.
Ketamine Drug Helps with Depression
A given piece of working SASS never has to have a compatibility issue, because it's processed through SASS and the SASS goes away. (Only some backward-incompatible upgrade to SASS can break the code.) The fact that CSS evolves to introduce constructs that look exactly like SASS doesn't in and of itself break anything from the point of view of the old code which doesn't use those new CSS constructs.

SASS code is written in the SASS language, with CSS as a back-end; the only thing that can break a piece of existing SASS code (in terms of making it either fail to generate, or generate different CSS) is a backwards-incompatible upgrade to the SASS processor. For instance, someone has SASS code which relies on certain @-things to be passed through to CSS, but an upgrade to SASS claims some of them for itself.

(A change in CSS could break the generated CSS code, which is a different issue.)

We have been throwing money, education opportunities, food and everything else at the poverty problem since LBJ passed the great society act in the 60s. By all metrics, things have gotten way worse even with those programs. So throwing more resources at the problem isn't the answer IMO. It's parenting, a focus on education (not turning teachers into babysitters but actual focus on passing), keeping fathers in the household as a role model for their young sons, and a focus on a community relying on each other instead of being dependent on the government.
Short is good but it shouldn't be to short. I would like to be able to search the web when I run into some syntax.

It doesn't seem like it is considered often.

For example: searching for "js ..." doesn't product results for spread operator or destructuring assignment. You would have to ask someone what is going on and the answer would have to not confuse the 2 eventho they share syntax.

"CSS if/else" obviously does produce many search results and for "CSS when" I get only 3. It seems everyone already knows what they are talking about. This is how we build human languages.

Personally I would prefer it if CSS was frozen and a new style type was introduced to contain all the heretical Turing-equivalency A style sheet should probably never have without disappointing those who really really want it.

Then we could say: You shall not load this x-domain.

As someone currently working at a German startup I can tell you that there is a growing movement away from using any provider that moves data outside the EU.

Our largest customer, a German enterprise, just told us that if we don't remove all US based providers from our stack they will leave us, regardless of where the data is hosted. They gave us 90 days.

Thankfully I saw this coming and we have been moving to EU providers already.

> Asking how far we should go to reform someone before we give up and incarcerate is kind of begging the question -- it assumes that incarceration is always solution that just blanketly works and the only reason we avoid it is out of compassion and morality.

What is the alternative? Just let them keep taking dumps on society until they finally go too far and bash someone's head in with a baseball bat (like that poor girl in Belltown a few months ago)? Incarceration shouldn't be the first answer, but it might very well be the tenth or eleventh...if only to actually protect everyone else.

If all your compassion does is allow for someone to destroy themselves (like decriminalize drugs and provide safe places for people to pursue their addictions), then is that the alternative?
