So, he was drunk, high, and riding on a sidewalk without a helmet. And now it's the City's fault?

Do we blame the city when drunks crash their cars in to lane barriers? Or trees?

I don't like those scooters and I think they are dangerous - but even the man in the story admits he rode them many times previously, and knew he was not supposed to ride on the sidewalks. He knew what he was getting in to.

This trend of "no one is ever responsible for their own actions" is not going to end well. When do we start holding people accountable?
If you're using J, you are probably doing analytics and stats. That means you are looking for patterns in a handful of attributes across a large population - i.e. columnar.

As others have said, row-based makes sense for most OLTP / app databases. You're probably not writing those products in J.

Poetry wins over a container because you have better version control (minimum/maximum specs as per your pyproject.toml file) and makes sure your users get the same build (as per poetry.lock).

Additionally if what you are building is a library, then a container won't fly as you (to my knowledge) cannot publish these to pypi (to make them installable via pip install foo)
I also like to think of the individual tasks that you are trying to do as muscles that can be trained aswell. i.e. shipping is a muscle. Not super related to focus but can help with setting incremental goals

People stayed even with the stock was getting crapped on by Wall Street, he was clearly able to convince everyone that the company would succeed and opinions of the companies future would turn around.

Going to Tesla a few years ago was a hard choice, they paid below market (substantially) but offered pretty generous stock grants.

The stock hadn't really appreciated in-line with the companies growth because of the enormous risk of the Model 3 project. This represented massive risk overhang that until cleared didn't allow the stock to really take off.

2020 (over?) corrected for that however so now the employees that have put in the years are sitting on massive unrealized gains.
Is it possible to use Lua/LuaJIT in the opposite FFI direction (aka instead of invoking FFI functions, providing them)

aka, upon DLL invocation (on Win32 they call it DllMain I guess, I've seen it call ctor/dtor on *nix), spawn the runtime, and expose FFI functions?

This spec is really big on FFI exposing functions. I always find it an edge case when trying to play with certain technologies (like the one in the article).

> I do understand the skepticism around leftist politics - after all, many have failed under pressure from right-wing power structures.

Well, WHY did they fail. I agree with you that all your proposed solutions look and feel good and should work. But they don't work if we have right-wing power structures alongside them. If they were that good, maybe people would like that solutions more than right-wing power structures? My take: they failed because they require people to be universally good and don't account for selfish people gaining power. Selfish people WILL gain power because otherwise they couldn't do things they want for themselves.

>> nationalising important industries and resources - all nationalised resources are being wasted away for political reasons sooner or later. I know this from practice

> That's not universally true.

Nothing is universally true, including this statement. I have seen successful nationalized companies. But typically they work for the people employed there, a working product is only "byproduct" of their working. They don't stand a chance with companies making products to make best product out there. Alas, most companies making products now optimise for money given to CxO's and shareholders, so they have crap product anyways. Both pure communism and capitalism are bad.

>> Unionisation - helped for a while

> I'm curious to know why you believe this though; is it just an assumption because we don't see many union shops these

No, it's because my father worked in companies with strong unions from unionization start to bankruptcy and he told me how it looked, I have talked with other people and did my own thinking about this. Sorry, but I can't remember all those stories now, typically it goes like with all assured working conditions, where you can't fire worst performers because they have good connections, so they drag your company down. This is typical downfall of all communist-like companies and systems. Working people just work and don't care about politics. Those who don't want to work, just care about politics, are voted in and from then on, they are only parasites. You can't get rid of them, because they hold positions of power. If working people try to remedy this, they are fired until there are too many parasites for workers and whole system collapses.

Democracies of course are not immune to this, but a little more resilient, because you can change those in position of power, until you vote in some scumbags which change the rules. Only education helps with that.
I think there is some incorrect information in this post. I know people who have completed their Bachelors and Masters completely funded by the GI Bill, including living expenses.

> Medicating social anxiety with avoidance is similar to medicating pain with drugs. It just gets worse and worse until it's worse than you ever imagined.

The implication here is that there is always an alternative to medicating pain with drugs. There often isn't - other than letting the patient be in horrible pain forever. I'd argue that this is true for many kinds of clinical anxiety, too.

" this is a troubling ruling."
No its not, there are limits to free speech and those limits end at slander and libel. The university pushed statements as fact that were proven to be untrue and libelous in court.

"This absolutely chills speech; public groups must now censor the actions of their individual members or find themselves liable legally for their ostensibly protected 1st Amendment rights."

If the admin hadn't joined in an official capacity handing out flyers, canceling contracts, and posting libel to their own website there would be no case about the students protesting.
Workers are still free to do this on their own time, but the second they do it as a part of their work, then the public group should be held responsible as that group has now made a public policy decision.
Agree, it's a hard thing. Question I'd pose: is the detachment borne out of avoidance, or conserving emotional energy so you can deploy it where it is useful? There's a difference.

I latched onto something like this for my digital self, and it mostly broke traditional social media for me. After all, what does it matter if people you probably won't meet approve of what you post? All that time and energy for what...a slightly higher number in a database somewhere? For all the "humans are social animals"-type platitudes that try to explain the necessity of social media, it always ended up being a huge net energy loss.

But, my life is better when I am emotionally engaged in multiple spheres simultaneously: marriage, family, work, friends, hobbies. It's impossible for things to be going well in every sphere at once, so you spread out your emotional involvement among it all such that the inevitable dips are easier to deal with.
I took about 12 months off from working and it was totally fine. When I started looking for work again most companies either didn't ask why I took the time off, or if they did I told them I just wanted to take some time off and they said "cool" and moved on.

The other benefit I got from this is I ended up moving into a different career direction when I did go back to work. Previously I had done a lot of infrastructure stuff in Go/Python, and during my time off I realized I wanted to do more low level work in C++. This wasn't my plan or intention in any way when I took time off, it was just something that occurred to me while I was taking a break. It ended up working out great for me and it's probably something I wouldn't have done had I not had the time to rest, think about things, and then study while preparing to interview again.
I don't understand why we're getting up in arms about this.

1. When you ride a Bird scooter, you agree to accept liability for all injuries, possibly with the exception of gross negligence (even if you didn't read the fine print, you'd be insane to think it didn't say that).

2. Peña sued the city for not maintaining a sidewalk and causing his injuries.

3. Bird indemnified the city for all liability involving Bird scooters.

Those three things together make the situation that "seems abominable", but they're really quite reasonable. Basically the city isn't liable, and neither is Bird, and it's not actually a surprise to anyone except those writing breathless news stories.
Thank you for posting this. I'm a USAF vet and former reservist and guardsmen. Most of the rest of the comments here are FUD, but this one actually captures one of the biggest challenges of balancing military service with a developing career.

Here's the actual reality on the ground, from someone who's been in and around the military for ~ 20 years:

- A surprisingly high percentage of military personnel share views that would fit right in with the HN crowd. They are largely anti-war and anti-interventionists but continue to serve for a variety of other reasons. What you see on TV and TikTok is often a gross mischaracterization of who military people are and what they think.

- The military is an amazing escalator for the poor and lower middle-class. I know plenty of folks who started out as junior airmen making less than $25k a year in their early 20s who are solidly upper-middle class/rich millionaires in their 40s. Sure tech affords you the same opportunities these days, but that wasn't necessarily the case when the folks were getting started 20 years ago.

- As a rule, you generally have a lot of freedom when deciding which assignments to take as a reservist or guardsman, at least on the Air Force side. There are usually more volunteers for missions than their are slots available for people to go into. From my understanding, this is much less true on the Army side, where they will often deploy an entire unit on a mission. Anyone assigned to the unit most go, with few exceptions.

- The benefits are generally better than what the HN crowd are representing here. It's pretty easy to get a 4-year degree from a good (and occasionally great) school with little or no out-of-pocket expenses. You can also buy a house up to $650,000 in most areas (with adjustments for even higher cost-of-living areas) with $0 down and no PMI payment.

You've captured most of the downsides here. But for me, the biggest downside was that the military (at least during the time I served) has an extremely poor record of properly recognizing talent within its ranks. I worked with a lot of folks who could and often did land cushy jobs in SV. But back in their military jobs, they often were tasked with menial jobs that failed to take advantage of their talents. Yes, there are leaders that can and do recognize talent in their ranks. And the Air Force isn't nearly as hierarchical and directive as folks here would have you think. But rank still matters. I left when the delta between my "rank" in my civilian career and my military rank became to big to bear.

Your reasons for missing service and considering returning ring very true with me.

It is very similar to the role of walking sticks (trekking poles) in long distance walking -- the poles serve a few functions, in reverse order of importance:
3) Potent threat / weapon agains dogs or strangers (this has only been useful a few times in many years but, still it's nice to have a big stick in your hand sometimes).
2) Keep yourself from falling if you slip or on challenging terrain, which means you can take more risks and move faster.

... but by far the most useful is:
1) As you are walking, you push yourself forward at the top of your stride. There is a moment where the big muscle in your arm can be put to use, basically making walking "feel" about 15% easier. It makes walking into more of a whole body effort, so you can go faster and further without getting tired.
I personally hate HVACs, but I live in a very comfortable climate.

Way too many people live in places where the environment temperatures are outside of the survivable range, or in places that get so hot, it's hard to do anything (often even at night). You just can't fight those by designing you building differently. You can improve the situation a little bit, but not enough.
> If you're a teenage with zero alternative options and are completely desperate for a way out of an urban slum nightmare or a poverty-stricken rural life, the military is there as an option.

yeah... I was in DEP for Marines felt like an ahole when I didn't follow through/returned to school. I was desperate to escape my life situation but I had to wait a while before going to bootcamp. I made a dumb choice with what I was going to do, despite getting 90's in ASVAB. I was going to drive trucks. I felt bad for the people that wanted to get into the military but could not pass the ASVAB or they had a medical condition. My education was funded with student loans/aid but I was able to leave my home.

Edit: in retrospect if I didn't go into school (debt) I could have just lived off labor jobs... It was the piling up debt from school that was freaking me out because I was also failing out of it (low 2.0's GPA). Idk if I would have ended up in tech/make the 3-4x labor wage (medium-level dev).

Fully agreed!

I'm also puzzled why so little math courses seems to involve the actual history of an idea. Often, an idea is presented in a vacuum or - even worse - confusing a formal proof with an explanation of purpose.

In my opinion, that's about as effective for teaching mathematical concepts as teaching vi by giving you a copy of the source code.

I think explaining the historical context of an idea and the problems the authors back then were trying to solve with it would be much more valuable for understanding than just the bare proof.
That's interesting. I'd assume that a template library like Eigen would be most competitive for really small matrices and vectors of a known size -- it should have a fundamental advantage over something like MKL or BLIS, in that it can fully inline and unroll everything if it wants, right?

Correct. No fixed sized pages, but dynamic batches based on the lastEventId.

This is much easier to implement, both in server and client side, and it greatly removed the amount of data transferred. With fixed pages you would return content of the latest page for every poll request until it is "full".

Bird indemnifies the City of Los Angeles as part of their agreement to roll out the scooters. Bird then makes their users indemnify Bird in the user agreement.

The key to this whole thing is for a judge or jury to toss out the latter indemnification as unconscionable. If this indemnification clause is found to be unconscionable here, it could potentially open up Bird to significant liability in future cases. Bird is going to fight tooth-and-nail to make sure this is not the outcome, or offer to settle once it has enough information to figure out that the legal winds are not blowing in its favor.
