I used GRETL some on graduate school. Thanks for the reminder.

Ultimately I wroteost of my own in Matlab, C, and Python. GRETL at the time wasn't consistent to the results in texts books (not always the fault of GRETL!).

- Asking where the constitution talks about protected classes is a loaded question, because it's protected by federal law.

- Stating the constitution overrides federal law is an argument from ignorance, because the constitution doesn't say anything about discrimination against protected classes to override it with.

Selectively ignoring the context of this conversation (i.e. "it's not about that per SE") to make my comment look like an unrelated straw man is cherry picking.

The problem with constitutionalists declaring freedom of association here is that the courts have repeatedly, undeniably upheld that the federal laws protecting civil rights are more important than the centuries old document (or, in a way, linked to the 14th amendment).

Anecdotes are fine. Here's the thing: NYC is a massive city, and we do have crime. You're describing a crime that you have indirect knowledge of; I could similarly relate any number of stores about acquaintances, friends, and family members suffering from crimes (and the NYPD doing very little about it).

It's also true that the city is safer. The city was already "safe" relative to the 1970s and 1980s by 2000, and it's only gotten safer since[1]. You can see that some crimes ebb and flow and that assaults, in particular, haven't changed that much over the last 20 years.

To conclude with my own anecdote: on the year I was born, the city's murder rate was over 3 times higher than the current rate (our supposed "crime wave of 2022"). The neighborhood I grew up in was considered a bad one; it's now one of the most expensive in the city. The neighborhood I live in now was considered "too dangerous to enter" by the city's "respectable" population; it's now gentrified and "hip." Crime hasn't disappeared! But it is much, much less common.

Annoyingly, the USB-C midplate is specified at 0.7mm. In my experience, 0.6mm boards are too thin to make a reliable connection. Going thicker has worked perfectly with all of the cables I've tried. I suppose there might be some risk of damaging your cables, but it doesn't seem too likely to me (the spec is 0.7 +/- 0.05), and I haven't had any problems.
> The Trump era really broke something in people's brains.

It was mass experiment in what specific types of rage they love subjecting themselves to, fueled by an ungodly amount of computational power, in order to prop up and expand a vast ad-delivery network that masquerades as news.

The daily rage was hugely profitable for all media participants and don't let them tell you anything different. The internet found its crack cocaine and us poor subjects are just tweaking for another hit.

They'll never let us chill out again, ever.
That's a great point, and I definitely agree that supporting disaggregated architectures is important and a potential next step for the project. It raises new challenges--systems like Snowflake need to know a lot about how data is represented on disk in order to efficiently move it around--but it ought to be possible to define new abstractions for those representations (or reuse existing ones) in a way that cuts across a lot of systems.

Then that's the way the cookie crumbles.

What do you want me to say? Throw away the constitution because congressmen are idiots, lets do direct democracy and all pretend we're experts on everything? Nobody can be informed on everything; anybody who thinks they are is obviously an obvious idiot who doesn't know his own limitations. No, direct democracy sucks for anything much larger than a canton, and certainly for any group with interests as serious and diverse as America's. What we have now is far from perfect, but it works reasonably well and I wouldn't throw it away in exchange for a nuclear-armed ochlocracy.

The mere thought of that sends shivers up my spine.
Maybe, but it's fun. Their trades are supposed to part of the public record, so yeah, it's available. However, it's a lot easier to follow when it's a tweet vs combing the public records of the US Govt

In all likelihood they are not CS players. I played a ton of Overwatch in college and a decent amount of CoD/Halo as a child. There were definitely bad people in voice chat but nowhere near CS levels. I could see other FPS fans thinking this was fake or at least played up.

One could argue that the oil industries play to shift greenhouse gas emission responsibilities to consumers was pretty horse shit.

It was an intentional distraction from the real story, which was the vast theft of trillions of dollars through bullshit tax cuts and pointed neglect for the key things that keep society functioning, like boring stuff--infrastructure, education, generational investments, rule of law, international politics, energy policy, environmental issues, etc. Nope, the rage grabbed eyeballs. Eyeballs meant ads. Ads meant dollars. Dollars meant kaching for the media powers. And the stock market! So much shareholder value!
Bit late to the table, Linux is already used in safety critical systems and has been for years. This LWN article [1] gives a good overview of the various approaches and some of their tradeoffs. I can provide talks from groups within major automakers talking about their own usage too, if you'd prefer.

But Linux is fine given all the caveats, limitations, and system designs are done properly. This is where most systems are headed.

The quintessential "simple USB hub": https://www.amazon.ca/UGREEN-Adapter-MacBook-Chromebook-Pixe...

Replace the USB-A ports in the above with USB-C ports, and it's what the GP poster is imagining.

But, for some reason, nobody makes that.

Even though it'd be USB-3.1 either way; even though you can plug USB-A-to-C cables into this hub, and it'd be exactly the same as plugging USB-C-to-C cables into a hypothetical USB-C-replicating hub.

Did they _have_ to? They could have run tests for affected transitive dependencies, cached build artefacts, randomly sampled integration tests on master. There's plenty they could have done to reduce the bill.
Yeah one of the things I really dislike is that I think a lot of people who expect "free speech should be protected on the internet" also believe "companies should have the right to refuse service to anyone"

I think those two beliefs are fundamentally at odds with each other. If you think that companies should not be allowed to moderate community content, then you must also believe that a cake maker who bakes a cake may not refuse to make a cake for a customer lol.

Regarding #3

Asking users how they were referred is by no means reliable. Many times we have kept that question in place even though we had strong tracking in place.

People tend to just select the first option in a dropdown or radio series or select an option that we can see is not their actual path. The solution offered in the example seems as if he thinks it's a legitimate replacement.

It is not.

Just seems like there's so much competition in the crypto exchange area. How to differentiate? Seems like a race to the bottom fee wise is where we're headed. Especially with the rise of defi exchanges sucking up a lot of the power user market.
> "mainstream media" (I am generally wary of people who use that term tbh).

It's just a shorter phrase than "ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, all late night comedy shows, SNL, and nearly all newspapers." It becomes a bit of a mouthful. It's the most neutral form of phrasing all of this media that seems to lean toward the same political party, though I'll accept recommendations if you have a better term.

> It's bizarre to simultaneously criticize them while also blaming them for setting your incorrect expectations. Should have listened to and read Lawfare.

It wasn't just my expectations, and I absolutely do expect news media saturation of a story to correlate with its actual relevance. Instead, they over-hyped and sold outrage day after day until the rubber hit the road. And then they just moved on. The idea that one should have simply ignored all the supposed journalists and reporting to read one guy's legal blog (???) seems bizarre to me. This is a very revisionist view of those 2+ years.

> It's also simply morally blameworthy to excuse the relevant behavior on the part of Trump and his associates, whether they were indicted or not.

I'm not excusing anything. I'm saying the media hyped this up as "Watergate times a thousand" over a two year stretch, and it ended up being nothing near that.

We used ipinfo for a while because we didn't know much about the space, they had good SEO, the data appeared to be high quality, and it was easy to use. We were pretty happy with it!

We ran into some minor problems along the way, mostly around cost, and eventually had to switch to something else. We still don't know much about the space and the main thing that stood out about our new provider is that it is cheaper but the data seems to be of lower quality.
why were you searching for "licking cups at the party"?
Something else that doesn't seem to get a lot of attention in terminal UI is screen reader accessibility. I'm not a regular screen reader user but I've tried a few TUI programs in GNOME Terminal with Orca and it was a mixed bag. Some simple programs were actually usable, more complex layouts not so much. It seems GNOME Terminal outputs the line where the cursor is when it changes so it also depends on if the program puts the cursor somewhere relevant when it finishes updating the screen.

Why should I care more about debate club than about being able to make medical decisions for my significant other?

Yeah, this thread it wild to me. Are we really gonna both sides this and pretend that candidates who openly and proudly oppose the liberties that the ACLU fights for are somehow equivalent?

The ACLU can’t just sue for liberties that require legislation be passed, that is unless you’re in favor with more legislating from the bench. And in that case they have to support politicians that will further their mission.
Better question: why aren't there comments? It's 2022 and there are still no comments in regedit?
Kudos to the skeptic at least for being willing to accept, and declare, that he was wrong in the first place.

There are many skeptics who would rather disregard other assertions, than to admit their own possible flawed testing/experimental/verification methodologies.

> Or is it your view that the goal of the 2A is for a poorly armed mob to be able to rise up in collective suicide against better armed better trained government forces?

You need to define the hypothetical 'sides' here a little better. Is this armed mob fighting for principles that many members of the 'government forces' agree with? Would this government force be willing to kill large numbers of their neighbors and fellow countrymen?

A surprisingly effective resistance can be made by an outnumbered/outgunned 'mob', assuming they have some basic weapons. Home field advantage and guerrilla warfare go pretty far. See: Vietnam, Afghanistan, Ukraine.
I’m so miss the ipod nano. Just bought a new ipod last week because sometimes I just want music and books. Audible book sync with iWatch is total shit and rarely works. When I run i don’t want to carry a phone. I feel this is a bad move by Apple but I (somewhat) get it.
No, at full speed it consumes 175W.
That's the voting rights part. Freedom of speech gives you the right to tell your representatives how you want them to represent you. If you choose not to get involved in a contested issue, your representatives will think that the issue is not important to you. They will then prioritize their efforts accordingly. As far as everyone else is concerned, an opinion you don't act upon is indistinguishable from not having an opinion at all.

Freedom of speech makes representative politics a market, where effort is a key currency. You may dislike markets in general or think they are inappropriate in some situations, but they are an inevitable consequence of individual liberties.
Why would they be honest with you? The system always benefits the rich, since the beginning of time. Americans tell themselves a lot of lies about how low taxes mean freedom, when it just means we are getting screwed harder by the ultra-wealthy.
> Google is taking me on routes that are much less safe and more challenging

> - ex: taking small side roads to a left turn onto a busy road with poor visibility and no light rather than right turns to the main road and signaled lefts

This one irks me the most, so often it will take me a way where I need to get across a busy 4 lane road instead of taking me on a slightly different route where I will end up on that road instead, or at traffic lights where I can actually turn properly. I feel like it waaaayy over-optimizes for time "saved" to the point where it takes you a bone-headed way just to "save" you twenty seconds out of your whole trip, but _only_ if you are incredibly lucky with lights or breaks in traffic.

After reading this thread I am going to try out Apple Maps again and see whether it's any better.
doesnt §4.6 of the USB-C spec show the precedence of power source usage? I.E. there is no 10W option, just 3A, 1.5A, 0.9A, 0.5A at 5V or 15W, 7.5W, 4.5W, or 2.5W. so then your 15W port turns into 2x 7.5W ports or 3x 5W ports. I dont know if you can count on the upstream port being 15W. if its 7.5W do you do 4.5+2.5W and 3x 2.5W?

also, I've found that no one obeys the current limit for inrush so now your downstream ports have to allow 7.5+W until they enumerate and you can lower the current limit.

additionally, people are complaining about not being able to tell cables apart. can they tell the power requirements and calculate how much power a combination of devices requires?

For anyone who hasn’t attended PyCon I’ll offer this anecdote.

This was my 10th year attending. In my first year I meticulously planned all the talks I’ve as going to attend. I later learned this was a giant mistake.

As the years went on I spent less time in the talks and more time in other areas… Talking to people in the exhibition hall (what hard problems are you guys solving? How do you manage the business side of open source?) The “Hallway track”. Joining groups of people for random excursions.

This year I went all in on open spaces. They are the most unique part of PyCon. I don’t know how to phrase it other than “what topic are you interested in but haven’t yet heard about? Do an open space on that and people will show up.”

PyCon is truly about the people. All of those “I came for the language and stayed for the community” comments are 100% and it’s hard to get this point across if you haven’t experienced it.
Oposite I would have thought - full of nice little humming creatures, making delicious sweet stuff.

Of course. It's not as if only FAANG has scale issues.

However the set of people who believe they have scale issues is orders of magnitude larger than the set of people who have legitimate scale issues. People should start by assuming they're not in the second category is my point.
Here in NY, many of my friends were once traders or brokers, in Finance. They passed their Series 7 (or whatever), and worked a few years in brokerages or banks.

Pretty much universally, they report the experience was a tornado, and they could only manage it for a few years.

But they made a lot of money. The smart ones, lived humbly, and saved up, using their earnings to do things like start small businesses.

It’s kind of surprising, to talk to a painter, or shopkeeper, and have them tell you about their “days on The Floor.”
Is that because the average westerner doesn’t fly every year?

How does it change if you only look at people who fly?
