I would like to let you know (if you weren't already aware, if you are please ignore) of low dose naltrexone (LDN). While it's certainly not guaranteed to work, for some people it certainly does. I'd highly recommend reading more about it as while LDN is helpful for autoimmune conditions in general, MS particularly has a "higher" rate of success with it.

Practical info - please do your own research, don't take my word and speak with your doctor first. I'm just here to make you/anyone else with MS aware of it's existence.
This is a bad answer, it conflates the ISPs role in transit and entities like Facebook which are not ISPs.

NN is currently a regulatory thing that can change at the whim of whoever Congress puts there currently. Of course the telecom lobby isn't going to overplay their hand with the current Senate split and D majority in the House, they are going to wait until things are more favorable. Just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean the stage is not set for it to happen in the near future.

And it matches pretty closely to visual programming, like Unreal Engine Blueprints or building shaders in 3D modeling software or Unity, for example (saw a lot of node types that almost mapped 1-to-1 to some in Blueprints, for example).

But it gives each type of node a fun and unique personality that kind of matches its function, and has a very 20+ hour long (and entertaining) tutorial series, where the elements chat back and forth to each other as they handhold you through the process of making simple but playable games in multiple genres. Put a smile on my face multiple times, and I'm an experienced developer that just tried it for a lark.
This is a snippet from the python codebase, written by a type nazi

SessionInfoType = Union[AuthzQuerySessionInfo, AuthnReqSessionInfo]

Notice how it is doing a union of two objects. Do you know what those 2 objects are? Those are types as well. They have no business use case.

AuthzQuerySessionInfo = TypedDict(
"AuthzQuerySessionInfo",
{"name_id": Any, "came_from": Any, "issuer": Any, "not_on_or_after": Any, "authz_decision_info": Any,},
total=False,
)

AuthnReqSessionInfo = TypedDict(
"AuthnReqSessionInfo",
{
"ava": Union[dict, None],
"name_id": Any,
"came_from": Any,
"issuer": Text,
"not_on_or_after": Union[int, bool],
"authn_info": list,
"session_index": Any,
},
total=False,
)

RequestCookieType = TypedDict(
"RequestCookieType",
{
"request_id": Text,
"came_from": Optional[Text],
"public_id": Text,
"is_mobile": Union[Literal[True], Text],
"c_challenge": Text,
"c_challenge_method": Text,
},
total=False,
)

So now. not only do we have dicts that represent above data, we also have TypedDicts created specially for types.

To rub salt on the wound, the callsite with these types now looks like

session_info = authresp.session_info()
session_info = cast(SessionInfoType, session_info)

WTF!! If we have to see a codebase littered with TypedDicts just to satisfy type annotations and then have to cast everything to that type - why not just wrap it in a class and call it a day?

When I see garbage like this, I seriously question the productivity improvement brought about by python type annotations. I certainly end up spending an inordinate amount of time unraveling nested unions of types all over now. Considering switching to a team that uses Golang.
oooof, thanks :(

Article is very unclear about the violation. Was Trivago not initially displaying the lowest available price for each specific hotel? Or just not listing the cheapest hotels first?

In other words, was it showing a specific Hilton for 149/night when it was actually available for 129? Or was it showing that Hilton at 149 (the lowest price for that hotel) before Motel 6 for 59? If it's the latter, I don't see a problem.
To me, of course. But Netflix earning more money for itself is the same as Netflix stock price increasing is the same as the Netflix’s owner’s ROI.
I was curious what the legal status of mandatory arbitration clauses was in Canada and found this gem[1]:

> The clause required Uber drivers to pay a large up-front administrative and legal filing fee of US$14,500, and to travel to the Netherlands to arbitrate their claims.

It's amazing Uber thought this would hold up to judicial scrutiny. It's basically a "you can't do anything if we screw you over" clause for most of the population. Good thing the Canadian courts agreed:

> The majority of the Supreme Court found that the arbitration clause was invalid under the doctrine of unconscionability as there was: (a) proof of unequal bargaining power between the parties; and (b) proof of an improvident bargain (i.e., gross unfairness).

I feel like the author read the autocorrelation result, hated it and ignored the central point. There are ways to bucket data that removes the autocorrelation and in those experiments we also see the DK effect disappear. Trying to argue that we should study the effect with the autocorrelation present but ignore the autocorrelation for 'reasons' is not the way forward.

The main problem with type hints for Python code is that it changes the way you think about writing Python.

Before, it went something like this:

1) Install Python (if you don't have it already)

2) Install your favorite text editor

3) Write some Python!

Now, it goes something like this:

1) Install Python

2) Install your favorite IDE

3) Install plugins for your IDE

4) Install black, mypy, flake8 plus some other nonsensical "helper" library

5) Don't forget your poetry, gotta have that

6) Be careful to pick only 3rd party libraries that have good type hints..

7) God help you if you try writing something yourself, let your IDE do that.

Type hints make not only your code more complicated and unreadable. They complicate your entire workflow.

Setting an algorithm loose on the stocks that you own in your employer is not a great look from a compliance perspective at all. And if you give it specific instructions like try to sell down my holdings optimally, that doesn't relieve you of insider trading allegations at all. If you want to sell, follow the appropriate compliance procedure, then you're free to do so in whichever way you like.
If you expect type hints to be perfect and completely disallow you to write type unsound code then this is right, if you expect type hints to be useful when developing then this is very wrong. The automatic type hints produced by pyright on completely untyped code are fantastic.
Depends. There's a saying that 'the second draft is where you make it look like you knew what you were doing the whole time'. 'Discovery writing' is very common and many of the best authors - Niel Gaimen comes to mind - write that way. Maybe you just don't want to see how the sausage is made?

I will say based on my own experience writing a book: ideas you can understand without writing a book either don't warrant a book or probably have a perfectly good book written about them already.
I’m not sure what *specific* weapons have been used on cities. Usually we see cruise missiles going into buildings, for example. Lots of video of tanks too.

I think of artillery as less precise, with the idea of using it to indiscriminately level a large area. It’s fired from 10-20 miles away, with a few rounds a minute.

Howitzers, for instance, will be important in eastern Ukrainian

I used to have my email account hacked. They also hacked my Origin account, luckily I only had one game there (the account got banned for suspicious actitive). Now this is understandable. But for some reason, my email since then got used to sign up to universities in places like India and Singapore. Every week I get 1-2 emails from various branches of these universities. I don't understand why would anyone do that. I replied to some of them that they aren't reaching their intended recipient, but then I get emails from another department the next week.
I suspect there isn't just because they don't really need to "coordinate" which would cause anti-trust issues, they can just "watch" and adjust based on what they see.

On the other hand, I never understood why anyone would want to drive into the City, that really makes no sense, and I fully support the congestion charge.

I also support the CG, but I am also quite far on the "I'm staying in my car" end of the spectrum, so maybe I can answer the question! I don't relish the idea of driving into the City, but it's a rare enough experience that I mildly enjoy it - the traffic isn't as bad in the CGZ as it used to be, and I hugely prefer the solitude of driving to, well, the alternatives. Could I do such a journey on a weekly/monthly basis? Absolutely not.

All of those issues are related to autofree. From vlang.io:

> Note: right now autofree is hidden behind the -autofree flag. It will be enabled by default in V 0.3.

I'm assuming because it's not considered good enough quality yet. It would be better to be explicit about that, but it's not unreasonable as-is.

I think it's only reasonable to mostly ignore autofree issues when assessing whether the language has trivial issues. Count all those issues as a single "autofree is alpha quality" conceptual issue. Counting each individual autofree issue in order to convey the sense that there is a critical mass of issues in the project in general is quite harsh, I think.
See also Glasgow, where the megaproject did happen and the American-style M8 terminates directly in the center of the city. It's never quite caught up with good public transport options. I'd suggest trams if the massive cost and time overruns of the Edinburgh scheme hadn't put me off.

(There _is_ a subway in Glasgow, but due to tunneling difficulties and its age the trains are unusually small. It feels like a 2/3 scale model of the London Underground)
> Hard disagree, big-endian is right and little-endian is wrong. At least, unless you think this year is 2202.

If you think a bit about it, it would have been much more natural to write number in the opposite order compared to what we have now, since we read and manipulate numbers from least-significant digit to most-significant digit and read text left-to-right.

When you read a number like 346624596, you need to parse it twice to know its value, but also to know its magnitude or do anything significant with it. In the opposite order, everything becomes simpler: adding two numbers, knowing the magnitude or ignoring the least-significant digits ("its about 350 millions"), ...
> They had a market for product, TV and they had a company that wanted to invest in that market BT.

When people say such things, I always ask, Tetcher stays at BT with big gun and shoots investors?

I understand, in exUSSR countries, like Ukraine, govt once just forbids private businesses to build abroad connections faster than 64k, so they all connected to bubble of state company (later govt created for this company 3G monopoly, this is very similar to history of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_India_Company ).

But after 2004 in Ukraine, govt just could not issue any really serious sanctions for violation of such forbids, so ~ 5 big companies built Gigabit+ abroad connections, and later they also built their own country wide fiber backbones, and once those forbids was just cancelled, because non-sence.

How can Russians live with themselves. One of my neighbours is from Mariupol, this is truly devastating for him and hundreds of thousands of others. Truly, barbarian tactics.

Not just Mariupol - I just finished speaking with my neighbour (fixer for international media org) who interviewed a young girl not far from Kyiv. The sister and mother of the girl were beaten and raped until they died, by Russian soldiers. The girl was forced to watch. She then lived in her apartment several days, with the corpses, until she felt safe to escape. Most Russians support this war. I'll leave it to you to find any reliable sources that disagree with that statement.

Russia is a very, very, sick nation.This is why Ukraine will never surrender. Can you imagine surrendering, and your "reward" is to live under the Russian regime?

I'm an unusual case, but I live in one of the least accessible parts of the country with extremely poor transport links (even by road). It is, of course, totally possible to drive to other cities to then get the train, but then you have the same problems just in a different city (since amazingly few have particularly good parking + mass transit arrangements).

Beyond that, once you're in the car and trundling along, switching transport modes isn't particularly appetising, particularly when trains are so costly if not booked in advance and you have zero idea if you'll even get a seat. Yes, I've stood for two hours on a train out of London. No, it's actually not more fun than sitting in two hours of traffic.

Python type annotations in the language are nothing more then allowing you put any Python expression in the "type slot" and have it be syntatically valid. They don't do anything. All the functionality is 3rd party packages taking advantage of their existence.
Yes, absolutely you should have a point to make with your new architecture, and that's likely to involve at least some weirdness. What I'm trying to get at is that the weirdness budget isn't infinite, and therefore you want to be careful to spend it on making your point, not frittering it away on incidentals.

People are talking about REPL development, and they are right, but one of the best things that you can do with CL that you can't do with other REPLs, such as Clojure, is... at least using Slime in Emacs, probably other editors too... when there's an error/exception or whatever, you drop right into the stack at the error location. You can see all the values of the variables. You can evaluate expressions. Travel up the stack and do the same things. That is SO powerful, and can save so much time debugging simple errors.

but the cognitive dissonance it takes to argue that raised highways and highway pits cut through neighborhoods but not let out a peep when it's subway and tram lines doing the same should disqualify one from voting

Here’s a thought experiment for you. You are on foot, perhaps with a kid in a stroller, perhaps with a dog on a leash, perhaps an armful of groceries. It is a gorgeous day for a walk. You have multiple destinations on the other side of several transit arteries:

* a subway that passes under city streets with sidewalks, if you’re lucky maybe it goes under a park that’s between you and your destination

* a light rail line with trains passing every few minutes, clearly visible, with lots of time in between to cross the tracks, if you’re lucky maybe the area around the line has some pretty plants and trees

* an elevated highway with cars zooming along the feeder roads in its shadow, if you’re lucky there’s a crosswalk with pedestrian lights

* a ground-level highway, 8-14 lanes of constant high speed traffic in both directions, if you are very lucky there is a pedestrian overpass no more than 2-3 blocks out of your way and you’ll only be inhaling exhaust for a little while

Which one of these would you rather cross? Which one of these feels like an integrated part of the neighborhood, which ones feel like a raw open wound in the city when you try to cross them on foot?

But those images did briefly become reality to some customers. T-Mobile and AT&T had services which would be cheaper to access than other competing services.

On AT&T, watching TV on DirecTV Now was zero-rated against mobile data caps. Watching TV on Hulu or Fubo or any other provider was an extra cost.

On T-Mobile, streaming music on Spotify or Apple Music was zero-rated against mobile data caps. Streaming from home or from any non-approved music services was an extra cost.

That doom and gloom image was starting to take shape. It was the passage of California's NN laws and the support in the courts which killed these programs, as they didn't want to have to manage a different set of rules in CA or any other states which implemented these kinds of rules compared to just having a standardized nation-wide platform.
