What does this mean, exactly? They do have the right to purchase on at fair market value for structure + land - it's just they can't afford it. The land is crazy expensive.

I'm assuming "have one commissioned" is suggesting something about supply/zoning, but it's not clear to me what, exactly - if someone could afford to build or buy a house 3 miles from Dallas, should they also have the right to pay the same price to build something in the middle of Dallas?
Is it? The comment I replied to above presents the idea that this court decision is bad because it telegraphs to drug dealers that they can get away with existing in the Tenderloin, because the courts have determined that the government can’t preemptively ban then from doing so.

The comment above posits that this removes an effective disincentive and will lead to more drug dealers in the area. My premise is that no drug dealer is factoring in this kind of disincentive at all into their calculus. Studies have shown that even more severe criminal penalties like long-term jail sentences don’t serve as an effective deterrent, because they don’t actually treat the factors that lead to somebody deciding to commit a crime, and once they do, the concept that there may be a harsh penalty if caught isn’t a factor.
I read it more like her morals prevented her from keeping/selling it, not that some outside entity was preventing her from keeping it. I sometimes say "I can't have that" to a food item I'm physically capable of eating but my moral framework precludes me from eating.

Being gay or trans or non binary or whatever is not contagious. There is no reason for differing %, except the trend is very clear: The older the generation the fewer % are out.

It's because people are more supported and more able to come out.

More people aren't gay. More people are able to live their truth publicly.

* and based on your comment I will leap that you aren't a part of this community. The ugly truth is it is still very hard to come out for way too many. And dangerous. Look at the attacks on trans kids and talking about gender in schools.
I always considered doing something like this and then I realized the only technique I know to get all shopify sites is subdomain enumeration and that's probably not uhhh white hat or whatever the term is

I agree with the other poster. It’s not relatable. No offence to the minorities. It feels like forced messaging to the rest of us. Why represent only minorities in race, ethnicity and sexuality? Why not represent people such as war widows, people with skin diseases, mental disabilities, people with above average heights, obese people, etc.? For those of us not living in the USA, it feels like cultural imperialism. “We think this is the most important thing, so everyone should also think this is the most important thing.”
To be fair, this general idea was at the core of how many versions of (at least GNU) emacs were created: launch minimal version, load lots of stuff, dump. Fire up dump in the future.

Using GPS Technology to Address Cemetery Theft (2014)
I was a hero briefly when I programmed the MFC copier at a govt agency to allow staff to scan to their desktop directly. This was one of those SUPER fancy ones (think 5 year overpriced contract with total cost of $120K) - it had every doc mgmt feature under the sun, but could ONLY be used for copying (no print, no scan no anything).

Some update reverted system, and IT was unhappy when staff asked for the feature back. Team asked me to help, I said if IT has said no I dare not.

So back they went to their old solution, which was to send someone 2x per day to a local copy shop and FAX at $3/page stuff they needed electronically in the computer, because they had a digital fax service they set up.

I kid you not, this is the only in govt type thing. They ban scan to USB / scan to network etc, but then demand stuff be uploaded electronically to some new system - what are folks supposed to do. 90% its left hand right hand stuff. IT security folks don't talk to anyone and lock systems to nth degree (no scanning, no USB). Then someone else NEEDS paper available electronically for some reason (upload to a new system).

The more money spent the worse it is because you can't actually talk to anyone. Once its $100M+ staff are just not in room there are so many layers.

Or just happen to stumble onto 4chan during the summer period of each year where it would be flooded with gore and other shock content*. Or be unlucky enough to be on a site which had been targeted by a raid by 4chan or other imageboard users and flood those with shock content.

* to provide historical context for the younger folk here, 4chan would receive a flood of new users every year roughly corresponding to the American summer holiday period, and there would be a noticeable decline in posting quality during that time.

To ensure that only people who fit in with board culture stuck around, the site (or at least /b/ which was where I spent most of my time back in those days) would be flooded with the most offensive content possible to scare away the bulk of the new users. This was rather effective at filtering out people of an emotionally sensitive nature and leaving only the most jaded and persistent to become regular users.

Much like the so-called "Eternal September", the board eventually had a culture change and became more welcoming of new users, and this practice declined. Although that was a long time ago and I think perhaps it may have been more that the introduction of CAPTCHA, rate-limiting, and other anti-spam measures prevented the use of automated image dumping software that was used to flood threads with shock content.
It seems to be an business automation tool, like ServiceNow.

My key takeaways:

1. The primary reason for the reduction in our purchasing power is not the supply-chain disruptions occasioned by government responses to the COVID pandemic, let alone Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine

2. It is actions taken by the federal government—including the Biden administration, the Trump administration, Congress and the Federal Reserve—that have landed us in our present inflationary mess

3. For 2 decades we have been told that middle class is well an alive, but it is just "squeezed", but at this point it is clear, that US middle class has been sold by the Congress to the highest bidder and is dying painful death

4. In 2011, the last time inflation was on the rise, the then-president of the New York Federal Reserve, William Dudley, ventured into a working-class neighborhood in Queens, New York, to give a speech explaining why inflation wasn’t a big deal

5. Finding that he wasn’t making an impact, Dudley famously picked up an iPad 2 and told his audience, “Today you can buy an iPad 2 that costs the same as an iPad 1 that is twice as powerful.” “I can’t eat an iPad!” someone in the audience shouted back

6. Overhanging all this was a Federal Reserve that, from 2009 to 2014, deployed what’s called quantitative easing—the purchase of preset amounts of government bonds and other financial assets to inject money into the economy—to boost economic activity

7. Making matters worse is the fact that the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Federal Reserve, which measure inflation, have long relied on measurements that make it appear as if inflation is not as bad as it really is

8. As if to add insult to injury, “scarcity inflation,” which is due, in part, to disruptions to the supply chain, have compounded our inflationary woes
"Soft" sciences. I've been having a blast learning about questions like, How do societies believe what's true?, What is sociological reality?, How are events interpreted and those interpretations shared, manipulated and layered?

But murder is legal in the us - states have the death penalty. So you’re merely choosing the not quite logical position that suits your politics. And we can go all slippery slope. If killing a non viable fetus is murder are you going to be accused if you don’t provide assistance to a pregger in distress when you are able to at no risk to yourself?

Are companies going to release any product that might cause anything to happen to said non viable fetus? That rules out alcohol, smoking, various drugs, …. No sports, violent rides, preggers are going to be damned near cocooned. And does this liability end at the instant of birth or does it carry on once birth has occurred? If you permit malnutrition, is this a legal risk?
Connected to that, it's easier for Google (in tandem with YouTube) to destroy or inhibit competing programming languages as well. Quite easy for them to depress views, spread or emphasize misinformation, etc... The power of Google to influence how people see things, is not something to be underestimated, even for what might seem minor or beneath them to do.
One other trick to do this is include a https resource (image/CSS/JS) in the http page, and on https use the HTTP header that forces https for the domain. So then if the resource loads successfully, future loads of the site go to https. Browsers that don't support Upgrade-Insecure-Requests often support the https-only header.
Total population / total land area is an irrelevant statistic for country comparison. By population-weighted density the United States isn't significantly less dense than Western Europe.

Unfortunately, directly comparable, prepared numbers are difficult to come by. The 3 most memorable sources I've found are:

* https://theconversation.com/think-your-country-is-crowded-th... - Discusses (introduces?) the concept of "lived density" and provides graphs for Europe. I'm not sure how well the author was familiar with related work regarding population-weight density, which seems to be the more correct term.

* https://ssrn.com/abstract=3119965 - A low-level analytical discussion regarding population-weighted density as a metric.

* https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.01167 - A COVID-19 pandemic-related paper which incidentally includes comparable population-weighted density metrics for both Western Europe and the United States.

I haven't looked into things since 2018 (excepting taking note of the 2020 COVID-19 paper), but IIRC census.gov has some population-weighted density numbers somewhere based on MSA and census block (tract?) proximity. It's not easily comparable to available European statistics, but it might be a good place to start if you want to play around with U.S. density numbers.

Maybe there have been better resources published since the above.
Many years ago I did some consulting at Telstra and I needed a billing module for their upcoming online gaming platform. Another division had almost the exact thing I needed. I asked my stakeholder if we could reach out and talk to those folks, get a copy of what they'd done and implement with few changes. He almost laughed out loud at the suggestion and told me it would just be far easier to a new one from scratch.

Internal barriers are sometimes far greater than external ones.

I don’t think laziness (in this comment or the ones about the bash-like C macros) is the right word.

Right. But you could create new users, not root but with admin rights, and enroll new keys.
I feel like there's some misunderstanding here. I am not at all advocating that the fact that objects had been stolen be suppressed. I'm advocating for the explicit opposite. What I am, however, saying, is that I find it odd that museums are allowed to keep these stolen artefacts, while the woman in the OP was not.
The only time I did group work was for the Deep Learning class (2-4 people) and my group members were excellent. Other than that one, no group work for me.

I want to agree with you. But I also saw a guy on pissing on the street on San Francisco directly across the street from a public toilet.

An opposite experience was I walked by a woman who was pissing between two parked cars. She apologized when I saw her. I walked by her again about an hour later, and she thanked me for not yelling at her. She said she was peeing in public because she had no access to a toilet.

Sweeeet.

Well damn.. here I am in my python repl for hours per day, feeling smug about how efficient I am pulling logs and analyzing data. But is there an AWS lisp sdk?

Edit: there is but not officially.

Sounds fun but lisp seems so much less interoperable (out of the box) than python, and more of a departure from the style of everyday engineering. I love my Python repl tools.
"All those namedrops mean and matter nothing"

If your goal is to actually ship product then this matters a lot. Many of us have dealt with folks spinning endlesslessly on "technical analysis" when just moving forward with something like python would be fine. Facebook is PHP.

I'm actually cautious now when folks are focused too much on the tech and tech analysis instead of product / users / client need.

"Security at the expense of usability comes at the expense of security."

Technically yeah, device-bound keys are "more secure", but not if that results in people continuing to just use passwords instead because updating your credentials on dozens of sites every time you get a new phone or security key is too difficult.

Synced WebAuthn credentials are at least as secure as a properly-used password manager, way more usable, and a lot more secure than passwords, which is what they're replacing. Besides, there's still the option of using separate device-bound keys for situations where even higher levels of security are required.

Out of curiosity, I found a sample kindergarten curriculum for the province of Ontario in Canada. [0]

Children as young as four in the province are evaluated by educators on (pages 306–308): the development of the ability to interpret and respond to basic communication, demonstrate independence and "self-motivation" in learning, giving and accepting constructive criticism, developing problem solving skills ("e.g. trial and error, checking and guessing, cross-checking), personal hygiene, self-control of emotions, assertiveness when feeling safe or uncomfortable, and other skills. Indicators that educators look for include phrases from children such as "I'm really frustrated" (page 161) as a demonstration as an awareness and ability to label emotions; "I put my vehicle on the shelf so it would be safe" (page 167) as evidence of problem-solving ability; and persistence in difficult games (e.g. card games and outdoor children's games).

I was also curious whether education in kindergarten could actually have a causal effect on improving long-term outcomes. I couldn't find an immediate conclusion on whether or not interventions are effective, but in at least one paper, it's treated as established knowledge that interventions work. From a quick search, a longitudinal study published in a paper called "Task-Oriented Kindergarten Behavior Pays Off in Later Childhood" [1] with 2837 participants showed a correlation between self-regulation skills in kindergarten and long-term outcomes. The researchers wrote that "early screening by teachers [in kindergarten] introduces the possibility of preventing future learning and behavioral difficulties." They also asserted that "classroom engagement is malleable and amenable to interventions."

While causality was not clearly established in this paper alone, it looks like a reasonable prediction from the correlation that improving classroom engagement as early as in kindergarten could plausibly lead to better life outcomes in years later in life.

TL;DR: While kindergarten in Ontario in recent years may have different expectations than the commenter's time in kindergarten, it appears that educators do evaluate young children on general life skills (e.g. self-control and ability to be aware and label emotions) as a screening tool, and also potentially for interventions to improve engagement in the classroom (which could plausibly lead to better outcomes in years later in life).

Thank you for this, it saves me a lot of research; I have been considering going and getting a masters.
Neither does the US. Universities can do as they damned well please, subject to accreditation agencies. MIT does not demand a Bachelor’s to do its DEDP programme, just successful completion of the preceding MicroMaster’s. U Colorado has three Master’s on Coursera with similar demands. Do the preceding online courses to the requisite level and they’ll admit you to the Master’s.

But it’s also hard in the UK. Maybe there are more universities that allow it but don’t advertise it anywhere but the number who will state clearly they will take work experience in lieu of a Bachelor’s is small.
The main advantage is that you can follow a consistent style in your codebase even if your dependencies follow a different style, so you don't have a situation like in Python where if you use the unittest module, you're forced into not following PEP8.

Imagine a world where Apple, Google and Microsoft allowed users to use whatever identity provider they wanted.

You would select the provider you want, or be your own provider. Then you would be able to enable 2FA, use hardware keys and whatever else with ease and higher security.

No more passwords, as the provider basically replaces a password manager.

bee_rider is smart enough to figure these things out.
Sure it does, my home lab servers have a single thread performance approximately half that of a server today.

What’s the ping latency from US East to Europe? 80ms-ish? What’s a roundtrip to postgres with a regular business app type query, 20ms-ish? What’s the latency on a beefy rails app’s request handling, 40ms?

We’re talking 140ms best case for a slow stack. What can you get that down to with tuning work?

When your user comes along on their 4g connection with 800ms latency, will they be able to tell the difference?

Don’t get me wrong, I’d far rather invest time in making the stack efficient but from a business point of view, it might not make sense vs. just throwing hardware at the problem and spending your expensive engineering resources on making it possible to deliver more utility to customers.
