My intent is, destroy mosquitoes and noseeums. Completely.

I love nature more than most I know, but if there is evil on this earth, it's the mosquito.

Here's one example. The woodpecker. Around here, its numbers swell when trees have pests under the bark.

But soon, after a few years, they eat most of the grubs, and must find other food. They do. By pecking in the dirt, for bettle grubs, and worms, and so on.

I'm sure their population will diminish, until more tree grubs appear. I'm OK with that.

And frankly, if we kill all mosquitoes and noseeums, some things will starve out, some will adapt.

But I hate mosquitoes so much, they kill so many, I am OK with some birds vanishing.

I literally, like some general sending men to die in a push, am OK with that

Die, mosquitoes. Die to extinction. Die regardless of the price, the cost.

Die, even if they cause lateral gene exchange, and their extinction means we wither, and die too.

Die mosquitoes.

Die.

> But college is known to lead to better outcomes on average for people who go to college

That largely depends on the field you're studying. STEM? Sure. Perhaps not for software engineering, because that these days can be entirely self-taught,if you're a person capable of it.

But everything else? Probably worthless. A gender studies or liberal arts degree is not going to make you money.
I'm not familiar with what YJIT generates, however, in general terms, if the ASM code for a given bytecode is small enough (Which I think it is), one can just compare them side by side, or just log them and compare them separately. I think a JIT for Ruby should compile relatively small chunks of ASM, not big walls of code (but again, this is my guess).
Because this "neighbor" is essentially a mandatory extension of you. It is nigh impossible to completely drop _voluntary_ tracking technology (smartphones, modern cars, etc.) without making extreme sacrifices in utility, social life, and a million other things. Yes, a more technical person could use a FOSS phone without Google, but there's still the phone company to be that helpful "neighbor". At the end of the day, you have no privacy. You are being tracked and monitored 100% of the time, and law enforcement's ability to retroactively get a warrant to invade that privacy is proof of it. The only functional difference between this and state-mandated tracking is that you can look at funny pictures on this government tracker.

Suppose the government were "track[ing] at all times". Would they be actively monitoring every single piece of data coming in and combing through it for any sort of illegal activity? No, they'd be using this data as a tool when they're made aware of a crime.

I think he's talking about later in life, middle aged or later. It is clear that kids have much less maturity and ways to deal with things and need help when an adult usually does not. Even if they could, they have a lot less options to do anything by themselves, for example they can't just quit and move away (leaving aside that as an adult you still need a certain level of money to do that).

Also, in all those discussions I think it would be safe to assume "statistically speaking" unless being able to show one individual counter-example proves or disproves a point being discussed. Usually statements are not made under the assumption to be valid for every single person unless it is explicit.

>They expect to get a return on their investment

They only give it to you if you have a downpayment, proof of income, and they can reclaim the asset if you default on payments.

None of those aspects apply to student loans. What's going to happen is loans will require cosigners and poorer students will be cut off from access to higher education unless they can get scholarships.
I was a little skeptical of the result, but the dungeons in the game Hauberk are pretty nice actually.
- Professor says "Yes, sir" to student during a class.
- Student asks them to use different pronouns, professor refuses
- student files formal complaint with the school and school runs formal investigation
- "The university determined that Meriwether created a "hostile environment" for the unnamed student, eventually placing a written warning in his personnel file and threatening "further corrective actions," according to ADF.
- US Court of Appeals rules in favor of professor, "The court ruled that university officials violated the professor's free speech rights when they disciplined him."
- University says that they "adamantly deny that anyone at Shawnee State deprived Dr. Meriwether of his free speech rights or his rights to freely exercise his religion"

The university saying they did not deprive him of his free speech rights seems pretty false given the contents of the article.
This is a great question that no one is really asking. Too much of the conversation revolves around what’s fair for student borrowers and not enough on what in the world these universities have done with all of that money.

They focus on the "healing", it strikes me as so ridiculous. It is a choice to think about the ancient past and key words like healing are all implicitly based on chosing to bother thinking about something in the first place.

A couple decades back when I told my parents I wasn't interested in their religion anymore and couldn't deal with the guilt of dishonestly letting them believe I was, they immediately blamed themselves thinking the root cause was all the crappy stuff they did when I was a kid. I was totally shocked, even as a teen I didn't take most any of it seriously. In my mind, it was never part of my "real life" because I was just so many months away from leaving their home forever. Likewise with the nonsense events in 4 years of highschool.

People really need to be told they have a choice to think about something or not, I guess.
When you virtue signaled "doctor" in quotes I immediately knew which political ideology you subscribe to. In my experience a lot of bullies subscribe to the same ideology. "F*ck your feelings" is an actual, popular political slogan within that set.

My recommendation is to try to look at the open source projects you are using. It's very difficult to contribute to projects you don't use because you don't understand them.

I'm curious to know how these loans became such a political issue. It's unusual to take out a loan and then complain about having to repay it. That's how it is supposed to work. We don't typically reward people for digging themselves into a hole by bailing them out. Unless they're large corporations. We bail them out in certain cases. But I don't think that's a popular idea either.

Good, there is nothing wrong with all that. Degrees should exist so people find jobs in the real world. Research can be funded by the government itself. Absolutely no need for government backed student loans in either cases. People who want to go to private universities can get a regular bank loan, that's how it works in the rest of the world.

The fact that a language is memory safe doesn't imply that the underlying virtual machine/interpreter is.

On the other hand, it's definitely true that the ASM generated is as unsafe as it gets, but the first point still stands. The memory unsafety of the VM is simply an additional attack vector.

Well the search feature on PH is useful for discovering different tools and services you can use in your projects. It's better than HN's Algolia search since it's narrowly focused on SaaS and tooling for different tasks. There's a lot of NoCode tools you can use for your business/project on there, and I regularly use the PH search feature.

I avoid all the hyped-up 'new products' since their popularity is usually artificially inflated and spammed to the frontpage. But if you go digging, you can find some real gems.
IKOS: Static analyzer for C/C++ based on the theory of Abstract Interpretation
the way this happens in singapore is pretty well defined

- properties can “top up” their 99 year lease, if the developers/owners want to.

- at the end of the 99 year lease, the owners can sell to a third party developer if there is demand (they’d still have to move). this has happened before many times too. this is called an en bloc sale in singapore.

also, keep in mind singapore also has 999 year leases and “freehold” (effectively the “forever” style of property ownership common in the usa). freehold properties are both rarer and more expensive.

something like 80% of the land in singapore is on a 99 year lease.

personally i think it is a fantastic system.
It's not about the hurt feelings as much as the social ostracizing and resulting loss of opportunities and friendships, not to mention that bullies often inflict actual physical violence.
To be fair, both "weird life insurance" and "knives" are references to MLMs. The ones that come to mind are Northwestern Mutual and Cutco, respectively.

I'm not proud of everything I've done in the past. I've thought about reaching out to apologize but I think ultimately it's a selfish thing to do.

I thought of adding the caveat that the "creeped out" feeling doesn't really apply in major cities but I'm making an effort to be less long-winded.

Anyway, that's what I'd say in response. In a big city, nobody blinks if they, say, see a group of Sikhs wander by with turbans and beards. But in the small/mid-sized town I grew up in there will be a lot of whispered comments and an undercurrent of fear. For other groups the fear might be replaced with other reactions (disgust, discomfort, anger, or even just a mildly hostile bemusement). Those towns far outnumber the big, metropolitan cities.

And the normalization of otherness doesn't even apply to all major cities. For instance I've seen serious, in-your-face racism in Tokyo, which is one of the largest in the world. I've seen it in Manila, which is considered one of the friendliest cities (depends on your skin color!). And I've seen it in tier 2 cities in Austria (which I'd assume is pretty similar to Germany), too. Berlin isn't a very good example.

An adult is going to have very few instances where they are forced to spend hours of time around their abuser(s) relative to a child in school. "Training" someone to deal with being regularly bullied just means adding abuse from another direction, to me.
Very cool tech, but I expect you're all looking for the cold water:

"Nevertheless, practical applications require far more aggressive optimizations with the large-scale continuous fabrication of CNFs, tuning its surface porosity, and finally additives in the electrolyte to stabilize the system to achieve commercial-grade performance."

CNFs and CNTs are fucking expensive and difficult to acquire in bulk. A lot of exciting climate/energy techs require them, I hope somebody starts pumping them out at scale soon.

Yeah, I kind of wonder if the author was trying to validate her ego. Some of her statements just seem like bragging.

For what it's worth; I've personally been in this situation, randomly receiving two apologies from childhood bullies whom I completely forgot about. I just took the apologies at face value, replied that I accepted, and continued to not give them any thought. I didn't think those people were flirting or asking for favors, and even if they were...they still wouldn't be worth dwelling on.

I don't doubt for a moment that your daughter encountered creeps in public spaces. I'm just not sure that the solution that was impressed upon my generation (I was born at the tail-end of the 80s) really helped. The default behavior shifted from "View some people with suspicion" to "View everyone you are likely to encounter as a potential serial rapist-pedophile-murderer." And don't think just avoiding contact is enough, because you could just be walking down an empty street by yourself when Mr. Serial Killer pulls up beside you in his car, jumps out, pulls you into the vehicle, and we won't hear from you again until your severed head is found in a well.

Good journalists shouldn't ignore uncomfortable situations, otherwise there would be very little to write about.
Likewise I was going to get an X1 after owning several higher-end Thinkpad and Macbook models over the years.

Instead I went with a Gigabyte Aero 15 OLED, 11th gen i7, 32gb ram, RTX 3070 etc. and after using the trackpad and keyboard daily it's an excellent daily driver that'll power through anything I can throw at it.

My only qualm is I can't be bothered to get the fingerprint reader working properly in Linux and finding a slim but protective case that still fits in my rucksack has been a pain.
M1 Macbook air comes with 8gb soldered memory. In the UK that's 899gbp.

If you want 16gb memory you're paying at least 1700gbp.

If you want 32gb, it's 2999gbp.

Most Windows laptops have upgradable memory and you can buy yourself 32gb ram for ~100gbp.

That... does not match with my knowledge of how timsort works. The sorting method is chosen based on the array length, and every sorting algorithm in every language knows that. It's extremely suboptimal for some types because Python's typing is so weak!

Timsort succeeds because it has many good heuristics to optimize common properties of its merge intervals.

I feel like a natural parent-brain thing is that the brain just sits there in the background kind of brainstorming worst-case scenarios and then you make efforts to protect against the ones you've thought about the most, because they're giving you the most anxiety and you want to stop thinking about them.

Protecting against that one thing doesn't stop this brainstorming process; it's a creative endeavor limited only by the imagination.

Meanwhile, yes, the more constant the news is the more it fuels our imagination, and the more global it is, the more we're feeding it with statistical outliers.

Yeah this is fine, it may/should sign up certain demographic of users. It doesn't fix what's wrong with Netflix at the core. Netflix doesn't have a core value proposition anymore. The closest to that is "mediocre secondary content for filler viewing", which is how I used to use it. Even that has such low value that I just do something else instead.

What Netflix used to be was a service that understood my tastes and could surface tailored content in a sea of choices and noise. They've continually dumbed-down their recommendations system to "here's what others are watching" and showing old popular content that I've already watched and rated.

What I would like from Netflix is to be able to serve the long tail of content and match it with viewers interested in it. They can and should still produce high quality original content that can draw in subscribers interested in specific series. What is useless in the midst of so many other choices is a large volume of mediocre mainstream content that is not precisely recommended. Having lots of non-mainstream hit-or-miss content and serving it to viewers that it hits with would be awesome.
