Yes, we all saw this strategy working just wonderfully with the US engineered opioid epidemic.

Cars are required to have seatbelts by law for good reason, and no we should not just “trust people with their faculty of deciding for themselves”
On the one hand Ukrainians with their exitential struggle against a foe which unprovoked has invaded their country and are killing civilians without scrutiny, on the other hand... consent dialogs. I can see the dilemma of choosing one or the other.
Gotta admit GP has a point about naming though.

Search for info on .NET and you will find stuff on ASP.NET, .NET Framework, .NET Core at the very least. Probably more.

You have to really know what you are looking for and that's hard sometimes because everything is just .NET
An iron dagger back then would be like a platinum dagger today.
I mostly use SVGator for the exact use case the OP describes, in combination with Excalidraw SVG exports.
Plus, y’know, there’s always ReStore, Goodwill, Pawn shops, Value Village, and Senior Center thrift shops. Good pots and pans are inexpensive. Matched sets less so, but still excellent value for cost.
> Just imaging a society where most families do have a bit of farm animals, for them does it matter their "price"?

These prices would in practice largely have applied to Rome the city (and other cities of the empire), where no-one had farm animals. Outside cities there would indeed have been more barter (though the Roman Empire was more 'globalised' than you'd think; Italy was heavily dependent on food imports from Egypt and elsewhere for most of the span of the empire), but no-one was producing food in Rome itself.
No worries, I understood it was a throwaway example that shouldn't be looked at too closely. You just have to remember that your DB isn't a model of what you want to require from your customers but rather a model of what you actually necessarily have and don't have. A field like the ones you're talking about shouldn't be marked non-nullable in the database if there's a chance you actually don't have that data (and when you are suddenly required to collect something you didn't have before, you're not going to have it).

Coming at this from a strongly-typed background, you acknowledge the fact that despite new regulations requiring a scan of the user's birth certificate in order to get an API token, that field can't be marked as non-null if you don't in fact have all those birth certificates. You are then forced to handle both the null and not-null cases when retrieving the value from the database.

So your API v2 can absolutely (in its MVC or whatever model) have that field marked as non-null but since your API v1 will still be proxying code to the same database, your db model would have that field marked as nullable (until the day when you have collected that field for all your customers).

If a downstream operation is contingent on the field being non-null, you are forced to grapple with the reality that you don't have said field for all your users (because of APIv1 users) and so you need to throw some sort of 400 Bad Request or similar error because (due to regulations) this operation is no longer allowed past some sunset date for users that haven't complied with regulation XYZ. In this case, it's a benefit that your db model has the field marked as null because it forces you to handle the cases where you don't have that field.

I guess what I'm saying is the db model isn't what you wish your data were like but rather what your data actually is, whether you like it or not.
This is something Apple has done for years. Especially with the native iTunes UI. They used to use Sproutcore pretty heavily for stuff like this, which later became Ember.js
It was in the environment already in the same sense the uranium in coal was also in the environment already.

Maybe the problem is the uranium mine tailings are safely off in some poor country, not in the US where the coal ash would be?
I'm not American, I live in a different country.

It's clear the American left establishment went apeshit and lost their rationality when that orange guy was elected. They may have been mostly emotional and hiding it behind virtue signaling before, not sure as I didn't pay that much attention to American politics. But after orange guy got in omg their biased agendas were just so incredibly obvious to anyone objectively looking from outside, and their constant 'trumping up' anything was so ridiculous it was pathetic. Pot meet kettle of what they accused other side of, but honestly they looked worse.
Do you speak or understand any Japanese yourself? If you ever tune into channels like ABEMA Prime and look at their political discussion of Japan's future you'd see everyone from left to right on the political spectrum all share a very bleak view of Japan.
And nuclear war argument is fear mongering by corporate media. Breaking Putin's army in Ukraine prevents further escalation. Because Putin has no army to invade other countries and makes it easier for Russian people to replace him with someone more sane.
Totally! If you're not immersed in the mastery loop then it's definitely going to feel like a chore. For me, the runes at stake make the experience more intense. But if you don't feel the same way, I think it's perfectly fair to say it's just not your kind of game.
Not at a growing young company.

There are cases where a late-stage startup got into too many businesses and the next investor wants them to cut a line of business. Like I can imagine Uber having to shed UberEats if that was going poorly, but the investor liked the core driving business.
Then giving out personal information unlimited to that well-defined scope is not justified nor well defended by this argument. You can't have it both ways.

Better than MongoDB. Easy to scale up. And no MongoDB gotchas for transaction.

I use my FoundationDb cluster as a MongoDB alternative and a Redis alternative. Only one cluster to maintain and two types of functionality! I have tried setting up and maintaining clusters of MongoDB and Redis in the past
and it was horribly complicated. FoundationDB cluster is so much easier to setup and maintain. And it gives me functionality of both Redis KV and MongoDB .
What does "shouldn't have access to" mean? The web server has a permissions system that determines what access level to grant in response to any request. If you are granted access to a valid request then what other interpretation can there be apart from the server decided you "should have" access?
While I think a student could read the instructions in the way the teacher intended (though I would not be one of those students either), I think the problem here is that the teacher is a poor communicator, and is too arrogant to believe that they could be fallible here.

The fix for this particular issue isn't over-specification, it's changing one word in the instructions. Or at most, adding a few more words to make things clearer.
Heat pumps are more energy efficient than resistors, so I guess it depends on the method.
Have you actually asked your employer if they can do away with that 'clown car of "perks"' in exchange for more salary? I would think that would be something you could negotiate as part of any job offer. Accepting a company's employer healthcare and benefits is certainly not mandatory either.

In the US, companies get 1st amendment protections as if they were people, but don't get any of the liability due to SEction 230 of the communications decency act.

Giving companies 1st amendment rights was ridiculous, but then giving them protections beyond the 1st amendment that no normal person gets was giving them too much power to control speech in society.
That is true, but the court also expressed skepticism on the CFAA interpretation- but since the jurisdiction was wrong, they didn't need to make a ruling on the CFAA.

I am unaware of any case going to trial using that interpretation of the CFAA since, though.
The always on nature of online has made it worse, in the sense that the medium is the message and feedback algorithms can influence/control peoples state of mind, ala FB etc.

Mearsheimer's getting a lot of airplay right now, but his analysis is straight out of the 19th century "great game" -- Ukraine is hardly even mentioned. His reasoning is all about the territorial conflicts of the "great powers".

In reality Russia is a small, poor, and mostly irrelevant state, mainly getting airtime because it has nukes. Without the nukes it would be taken as seriously as other countries of its economic clout, like Australia. Which is to say, not taken seriously at all.
What kind of a subject can upset a sponsor in a CS conference?
I agree, just like you can quite easily craft reveal.js code by hand instead of using slides.com.

However, I still use slides.com and svgator.com every single time. They let me concentrate on my messaging.
Teaching should definitely not be done by the "most capable on the subject", it should be done by those who are the best educators (with "best" being based on some metrics relating to student outcomes). Both roles are not the same. Just because someone is knowledgable about a subject doesn't mean they know how to convey that subject for consumption. Conversely I think that those who don't know as much about an entire subject but understand the material of a particular course very well could be better suited for the task of teaching than the "most capable".

> I work at Uber. Opinions are my own. Etc. Here's my two cents: people in the company are acutely aware of this problem. Insiders legitimately want drivers to have flexibility without fear of penalties, and there are some major projects in the works to try to make things better for drivers.

This is laughable. The reality is that no one at Uber gives a two cents about "making it better for drivers" because of the sweet sweet paychecks that they are getting by screwing those drivers ( and since most of drivers look like the taxi drivers of NYC no one really gives two cents that they are being screwed).

Fish rots from the head. Uber has a rotten CEO. If he could sell his mother into slavery for a buck he would. Rotten CEOs attract other rotten people. Costco demonstrated that it is possible to even compete with the bottom feeder like Walmart without screwing people who work there.

At least Travis did not pretend like Dara does. Watching SV view Dara as a Jesus walking on water is wild.
This is the real answer. Every other comment box or form I've seen on the Internet clears the content when the form has been submitted. I would suggest making them disappear altogether
The corollary to that: I'm from the Midwest where 40° F is t-shirt weather, but 80° in the Nevada desert doesn't feel much warmer than that.
Yeah, the parallels to the history of the McCarthyism era are worrying.

Appliances tend to have a lot of regulations around them. The chance you could commercially import a bunch of appliances from the EU into the USA legally and without substantial modifications is very low.
Not joking. I’m also working on a social app, and I think it’s great when I hear other tinkerers speak about their passionate work.
Ah, the student didn't know one of the secret college hacks: Teachers with an ideological axe to grind are almost always the easiest graders, because they can be manipulated by dog whistles, and need to be liked. I got my best grades in the obligatory religion classes.
This is my experience with dotnet. Considerable amount of legacy code coupled with different web frameworks along the way. While the app was slow, I found the amount of time it took to make changes to be the unbearable part, mostly a whack a mole situation. Maybe I worked with some bad developers, but they all acted as if dotnet was the best thing ever with constant mentions of dependency injection and blaming the GAC for problems they clearly created..
I only saw this one:

There are two owners to every piece of land: the "civil" owner, and the "sovereign" owner.

Belize is still the "sovereign" owner of that island, the ultimate owner that trumps every other one.
Then again the so called "rational" actors would be less likely do bad things. Just imagine how much better place world would be if in response to drone strike by Obama or Biden the NYC or Washington DC was hit by nuclear weapon. That would surely put end to those antics.
Yes - that's how I found out. A company that was supposed to delete my data as per the GDPR (or at the very least retain the minimum amount of data required for legal purposes) was sending me all kinds of emails to the "VOID" address, clearly suggesting they just changed it but otherwise left my account intact, most likely because they didn't actually design the system to support being able to delete user accounts.
Definitely every one of these is sluggish at best on a very modern machine but they are also full of UI annoyances. God I am so tired of little spinners for things that would have displayed instantaneously on ten-year-old hardware with previous UI designs.

I’m also really tired of things that pretend to be single apps but every other thing you click on will jerk you into an entirely DIFFERENT app. Oh, a sidebar: logically, clicking any item on the side should always update the right-hand side, right? Nope: some of the items you click on might update the right-hand side (after displaying a stupid spinner of course); others will hurl you into the App Store app and slide in some un-Mac-like UI to display 3 pieces of information (usually with truncation that can’t be fixed in a view that can’t be resized); still others might just open a web page (one that only works in Safari of course, because to hell with your browser preferences).

Why is any of this crap necessary? It’s perfectly clear that Apple just doesn’t care at all anymore about making nice, smooth, usable experiences. More than that, they don’t seem to even know how their own desktop platform has traditionally behaved. But even if they did want to change how things behave, why are so many things behaving differently? It is a complete mess and they should be embarrassed. No leadership AT ALL on the UI front.
Even in Germany there are very few left with knobs... I think a price comparison listed like 10 models... Miele had/has some... Then there is neff with a "puck" thingy, somewhere in the middle and then some high priced stuff...

There is a limit to how long a commute can grow before it becomes untenable a part of a daily routine. Being able to do other things while commuting increases acceptable commute time, but does not elimant this limit.

Traffic can greatly extend commuting times and thus is directly relevant.
I have a single "burner" that I got from Amazon for $50. It is a 120V, 1800W version. If I were buying a stove/oven for my house, I'd still buy a gas stovetop with an electric convection oven in a heartbeat. I had one in a previous house and I miss it constantly. It had two very large burners and two smaller burners. I loved the exact control with almost instant response of cooking on a gas stove. I work in the energy industry, so I don't lose much sleep over it.
The heating technology and the type of control need not be linked...
That reminds me of all the "Java is not slow" articles that came out back when Java was more popular.

If it really wasn't slow, why would they have to defend it? We don't see "C is not slow" articles.
Maybe it's not that obvious to someone who doesn't do UX?

It seems most form builders either have the form clearing behavior by default, or redirect to a new page. The person creating the form never even has to think about it that much.
We don't use tax money to bulk buy food, or auto repair, or fuel, or computers, or phones, or banking, or any other modern good or service that is essential and required for every member of society.

Why do we do it for health care or health care insurance? If the justification is "everyone needs it and you will die without it" then shouldn't farms and supermarkets also be public utilities? The line seems entirely arbitrary to me. Water yes, but food no? Why education and healthcare? Why not heating and electric power?

The added benefit of letting people arrange it individually is that those with a higher risk appetite are not forced into it (at significant personal expense) against their will/consent, too.
Same length as my kitchen knife, just thinner. Is that unusual for a dagger?
All this discussion of the "endgame" (not just Fukuyama of course, and he at least is worth listening to).

But what's the endgame after the endgame? A "Marshall Plan" for Ukraine is a likely possibility. But a Marshall Plan for Russia, who will need it almost as much? Unlikely.
In the grand scheme, those things are more important. But coming up with an idea or solving a puzzle does not make a person better than another. Getting an Olympic medal could take equivalent effort to making a major scientific breakthrough. Its just that the kind of effort being made is different.
You both love your Samsung induction and hate Samsung. So.. which wins?
Absolutely this! Some Neoplatonist literature distinguishes between God qua engineer of forms and God qua reifyer of them. And there's object inheritance implicit in their hierarchy of forms/angels, ie. Eriugena's that which creates and is created.

Platonism is like ontological OOP. :D
Respectfully, you are doing it wrong. :-)

Don't set up a payment option on the credit card's website. Use the bill pay ability at the web site of the bank where your checking account lives. Now all your payment information is in one place and, more importantly, under your control via pushing payments from your checking to whomever instead of allowing a bunch of companies to pull money from your account.
And how do you verify the data?

I know you were probably joking, but this is such a common pattern in proposed crypto use cases:

1) Collect some data
2) ??
3) The blockchain has magically ensured the data is true!

Whether it's supply chains or property records or war casualties, crypto does absolutely nothing to prevent people from lying.
In terms of language C# always seemed to me like it was a language that expects you to use a (the) IDE, much like Delphi. Which is really unfortunate in my opinion, because I usually read code outside an IDE and also spend more time strictly reading code than writing.
> The only revolution was giving the SGML client app away.

No, the revolution was this combination of three relatively simple protocols (HTTP, URL, HTML) which together were incredibly powerful. The SGML crowd never came up with anything like that. They just kept on adding more complexities...

Reducing this to "giving away the client app" misses the point of the above so badly.
That's the normal Java culture, which is not surprising given that MS created .NET as a competitor to Java.
So why is the first line of their marketing material says "lifetime subscription for the life of the device" and not for a monthly fee? Also, I have an Asus Router with AiProtect and it didn't upsell me, and definitely no monthly dues (I'm not shocked if the data collected is resold however though).
I agree with you, but not as the assignment is worded:

> “implement a job scheduler, using FIFO, LIFO or round-robin job scheduling”

To me, "using" modifies "implement"; that is, the teacher is telling me to implement something, and then telling me what to use. (That is, "using" does not modify "job scheduler".) If the teacher wanted the second interpretation, they should have said:

"Implement a job scheduler that can use FIFO, LIFO, or round-robin scheduling."

In this case, "that can use" is clearly referring to the job scheduler, not to me. To be fair, though, I think some students might still (reasonably!) believe this means they only have to implement one algorithm. I would probably use this second wording, but also change the "or" to "and". Even better, though more wordy:

"Implement a job scheduler where the user can select between FIFO, LIFO, and round-robin scheduling."

Let's also remember that boolean logic and English usage are not the same thing. I don't think my two suggested wordings would be considered "over-specifying" in the same way that OP is talking about. They're just a better use of language.

The teacher here should just have re-read the problem instructions, shown understanding and empathy toward the student, and either a) just changed the grade right then and there, or b) offered to let the student complete the rest of the assignment and turn it in again. And then made the wording of the problem more clear for the next batch of students.
I don't know if you've ever read Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse, but I get something different out of it at every stage of my life and your comment made me think of this book.
It sounds like the induction element cradles the wok. I don’t know about the thermal gradient thing (seems plausible) but in principle you could make a gradient in the field strength right?

I would have thought that a bigger drawback would be that you can’t get even heat input while tossing the wok, though I’m not sure how essential that is
I've seen a lot of sentiments like this article, where the author is talking about what methods they can use to make others behave the way they'd like. But I rarely see the opposite - an author talking about being receptive to others trying to change their own behavior. That seems to be a large part of the problem right there. As long as everyone is convinced that the problem is other people and not themselves, it's hard to see how things will improve.
Sorta. If you’re a small company, you can just charge your home VAT. Registering for MOSS and paying out all VAT based on location of the sale would be something you do with your accountant when you get a little bigger.
> Second passport is super valuable to those who travel a lot.

Only if you can actually enter somewhere with that Passport. That's why an US/EU passport is way more valuable than a Belize one. Their passport would require an entry visa everywhere to start with.
It doesn't seem that hard to show drivers the expected payout for a ride. They hide that information for a reason, but of course they don't say the reason is "fuck you, pay me" - they'll find a way to justify it as good for the stakeholders.
Finland is aiming to be carbon neutral by 2035. Do you suggest that if we start planning now, we can rely on having new nuclear plants operational in 13 years? Also note that we wouldn't be buying them from Russia because of the current war, and China would be risky in the same way. There's a current project where the only offer was from Russia and that one is being suspended indefinitely right now.

Oh wait, both of those are still true.
No, I don't think we can agree on that, especially not in America, where a mere 3 short years ago, we had an abundance of natural gas, and prices plummeting to near record lows (adjusted for inflation). The current situation we are in is due to bad policy.
I don't think they were saying that the radioactivity is causing the cancer in those 1/5 people. I read it as two separate points: coal plants simultaneously emit more radiation than nuclear plants, and coal plants cause more cancer via the other chemicals and rare earth elements they emit.
