> but even a complete simulator such as the one used for pilot training won’t be enough to actually learn all those systems - that’s why it takes years of training.

Pilot here, the simulator is absolutely good enough. It's not uncommon for the first time landing a real jet after sim training to be on a normal passenger flight, just with a training captain next to you.

Learning systems takes about two weeks and is done in a classroom + computer based training (usually an ipad app).

What takes "years" in the US is the requirement to first fly 1500 hours in a small single engine plane before you get to the airlines. This requirement does not exist in Europe, here you can go to that simulator + classroom training right after getting your commercial license.

> Just in general? I don't know of any packages in my app that are poorly tested. Simply do not choose dependencies that don't meet your standard, whether it's TS or Dart.

In general, it's not really part of the js culture. Sure you have those very nice packages which have stellar dev practices (such as react) but that's far from the norm.

The testing story also feels better with Flutter to me, one nice thing about the canvas based rendering is that you have very good and useful screenshot testing.

> You don't have to upgrade. In the early days things were more painful, but I've upgraded the past few major React and RN versions with no hassle.

If you don't upgrade, you're left behind and it will become more and more painful to upgrade later. Upgrade policies of languages also have to be taken into account for the dev time.

> Personally the apps that Flutter makes are of worse quality vs RN apps. Emulated native will always feel cheap compared to real OS controls.

No mainstream app is using native controls anyways. Facebook doesn't, Twitter doesn't, Whatsapp doesn't...

Additionally, if you have a terrible phone, this is where Flutter stands out in terms of speed. That's why it's so popular in developing countries. On my Galaxy J3 (bottom of the barrel of samsung), my app is the fastest app I have installed.
You mean the war of the winter 1939-1940 and the 1941-1944 war.

1917-1922 was the Russian civil war and 1918 the Finnish civil war. IIRC, some of the White Finnish raiding parties ventured into Russia, and the Bolsheviks supported the Finnish Reds, but you can't really speak of Soviet losses, the Russian Soviet Republic was founded in 1917 and only gained power due to the civil war.
They deserve to lose and those who have 'tricked' them should be prosecuted. We can have both. Culpability of one side doesn't make the other side innocent victims. It's not bad people against good people, it's bad people everywhere in this situation.

> It's an in-between Fedora (bleeding edge) and RHEL (boring and stable), which means things might change or break, etc...

This is a misleading explanation.

CentOS Stream 9 stays between RHEL 9.X and RHEL 9.X+1.

Once branched from Fedora CentOS Stream follows RHEL ABI compatibility of that specific major version and doesn't consume Fedora updates.

It is also tested together with RHEL.

Does this study actually say anything to that effect? It seems to imply that olive oil is beneficial or at least not harmful.

I've heard that animal fats are better than that now-banned partially hydrogenated crap, and a lot of people lost a lot of trust in modern nutrition science because of it, which I suspect is a lot of how the idea that animal fats are healthy got popular, but that doesn't prove they are better than regular vegetable oils.

There is an upside of holding USDT (although not a monetary one): it serves as a "stable" store of value on non-USD-banked exchanges when trading other cryptos.

Especially right now, with the market going down rapidly, a lot of people probably sold coins on the way down with the intention of buying back into the market at a later point in time. A substantial number of these traders temporarily hold their value in USDT in the meantime, because that's easy to transfer between crypto exchanges.

Volume on USDT/USD is going down right now btw, while it stabilizes at around 0.986. I wouldn't bet on this drop having been the last one in the current market disturbance, but I'd bet on USDT not collapsing the same way UST did, at least not within the coming days.
Going by the paper it also improves performance even for single threaded code[1]. The GIL is just dated design, there isn't anything good about it.

> When are sex and sexual orientation synonyms?

Talking about sexual orientation is at times a subset of "discussions about sex". Hence, given a charitable reading of both your comment and the comment you replied to, you may both be talking about the same thing.

> Some children in kindergarten through grade 3 have parents in same sex relationships.

I fail to see the relevance.

I don't know what that is.

As I pointed out, the law doesn't define what age-appropriate means. If you have information to the contrary, please share it.

It's not a national law, so again, I don't see how it's relevant.
No, but when many major exchanges only have USDT pairs people are forced to use it.
Only in a technical sense obviously, not in any way that actually matters.

It essentially means they were moving large amounts of USDT supply around. Presumably there was not enough liquidity on Ethereum and Avalanche mainnets.

Imagine you have multiple games of monopoly in progress but all the monopoly money is managed by a single monopoly money bank.

Two monopoly games (Ethereum and Avalanche) both needed more monopoly money for the game to go on smoothly, so the banker transferred some money from their main bank (Tron Network) to these other games that are in progress. The total amount of monopoly money in circulation did not change, but the amount of money available in each in-progress game has changed.

Also worth adding another caveat that the 12-tone equal tempered musical scale that most of the world uses these days is used because those notes give you a pretty reasonable approximation of most of the small whole-number frequency ratios that sound most consonant. But there's no reason a melody has to restrict itself to just those notes. In particular, ratios that have a 7 in them somewhere are very poorly approximated in 12-tone equal temperament.

The number of pitch intervals is theoretically infinite, but as a practical matter if a pitch is close to another it's likely to be mistaken for it. If we suppose that the threshold for a note to be different enough in pitch to be distinguished as a different note in a certain context is, say, five cents, then that gives us about 240 unique notes per octave. That's a bit of an oversimplification, but anyways the point is there's more than 12 notes, and music is like a vast continent with a thriving metropolis in one small corner but the vast majority of the land has never had more than a cursory exploration, if that.

Here's a list of pitch intervals that were deemed interesting enough to be included in wikipedia:

It seems to me you are conflating different types of investors that take short positions:

* What you are describing is a form of market manipulation where somebody will take a short position and then have somebody else publish a hit piece on a company. This type of 'investor' definitely exists, but it's relatively rare because it's fraudulent in essence. The timeframe for this type of scheme is short - often only a few hours or days at most.

* Then there are dedicated short funds. Think of them as the opposite of long funds: they don't believe in an increase in value but a devaluation over time (meaning weeks, months, or years). The "conflict of interest" is not different to a long fund, just in the opposite direction. There is a subtype here that focuses solely on what they perceive are fraudulent companies, think Wirecard, Sino-Forest, Nikola, etc.

* Last but not least every long fund will have some sort of short position, simply to hedge 'against the market'. Say you invest into a certain type of industry, then a typical hedge is to short what you perceive is the weakest company in the industry.
The big fear with stable coins is for them to go into a death spiral and become worthless. Stablecoin are only worth $1 if people believe they are worth $1. When fear sets in and people no longer believe they are worth $1 it can cause the price to tank. Having a stablecoin be backed means that you can trust your stablecoins to not become worthless because they can be redeemed at anytime at a $1 price point even if the market says otherwise.
> You're perfectly describing the sunk cost fallacy.

Sounds like a classical pump-and-dump scheme.
Made a similar comment on other sections of this post but I'll reiterate here as well.

Most (not all) of these stable coins are asset backed. If they can "prove" they have the 1:1 reserves OR there is a readily available "official" platform/tool/service/website that allows you to swap $1 USDX to $1 USD, then they haven't "lost" their pegs.

What we see here on coinmarketcap.com is just poor market sentiment causing an overwhelming number of sellers compared to buyers that are happy to take a 1-3% hit to exit quickly. Slowing burning through the order book depth until the arbitragers out number sellers, and things stabilize.

Eg. Tether USDT, you can still swap $1 USDT to USD on tether.io despite some exchanges listing it as low as $0.95 (note that others also list it as high as $1.06 at the same time). Exchange prices are poor indicators for this kind of stuff.

But, others you have mentioned, like UST, which are algorithmic and not collateralized can (and very concretely has) lose their pegs :)

USB-C ports actually have to support audio (ie be plugged into a DAC). My wife has a phone with a USB-C port that gives a helpful message that it wont work without an official adapter if you plug in a rando USB-C - 3.5mm adapter. So yeah, fuck USB-C, it's a hassle.

Yes, they need a lay out a plan on how to proceed. If they don't proceed with this, it will eventually result in the slow decline of Python and its eventual demise. Multi-threading in Python is an absolutely pain, and is something that needs to be addressed. We are at the end of Moore's law and CPU speeds have reached their limit. The only way forward performance wise is to kill the GIL.

Russia has argued that having NATO on its borders is a threat. Talk about missiles within range of Moscow and so on. Obviously these comments make no sense. But Russian domestic politics is always using a narrative of being a victim and having risk of being invaded. The Second World War doesn’t exist in Russian storytelling. The great patriotic war on the other hand, conveniently started in the 40s.

The Finnish border isn’t that much closer to any important parts of Russia than the Baltic states already were. The strategic difference is perhaps mostly in how difficult it might be for Russia to attempt what they did to Ukraine on a Baltic state. The scenario is a swift invasion and an annexation being fait accompli and a threat of Nuclear use if any NATO countries come to their defense under Article 5. That would have been a sticky situation for NATO in the past (at least we thought so until we saw their military performance lately) but will be less so with Finland in the alliance.
That explanation is not correct. Algorithmic stablecoins rely on a pairing with another crypto, in UST’s case LUNA. 1 UST can always be swapped to $1 US dollar of LUNA. It is interchangable, so $1 US dollar’s worth of LUNA can also be swapped for 1 UST. Hence, the “algorithmic” in the name. This way traders are always incentivized to keep the price of UST at $1.

There is no collateral requirement. In UST/LUNA’s case they had collateral, mostly in Bitcoin, in the Luna Reserve Guard but their collateral proved insufficient. Some algorithmic stablecoins are entirely uncollateralized.
>You're looking at it wrong.

Truth sometimes hurts, doesn't it?
One has to appreciate the irony that Putin's attempt to reduce the size of a hypothetical¹ border between NATO and Russia will probably result in actually doubling it.

¹Hypothetical because there was no realistic chance that Ukraine would have been allowed to join.

Gambling is an addiction, and doesn’t just come down to poor judgement. There’s a short circuiting that occurs in the pleasure centre that we simply haven’t evolved to handle properly. It’s why even if you’re the most seasoned, calm, financially secure and stoic of people, if I told you that you suddenly won $100M with clear proof, you’d almost shit yourself in excitement, your heart would race. None of us are immune to the physiological effects of winning money, by chance or skill.

I’m not saying people getting suckered aren’t ultimately responsible for their actions, but at the same time just like a drug addiction, an objective and problem solving perspective is more productive than just judging that person for simply being weak, stupid, gullible, greedy etc.
Currently, you rely on Nvidia to keep the drivers up to date and working with the kernel you use in your OS.

If the drivers aren't upstream, a future kernel can break them. So if you update your OS, it might no longer support your GPU without installing an alternative. Nvidia are responsible for getting this fixed in a timely manner.

If the drivers are upstream, then people aren't allowed to break them when they make changes to the kernel. There should never be a kernel or OS upgrade that causes the drivers to no longer work, the people who made the breaking change are responsible for fixing it before it gets released to you.

This seems like something of an odd position. From one perspective, why do you need the degree? If you have the skill, then you have the skill.

But if you take the opposite perspective, and having a degree is important... community colleges don't award them. Go to a community college and you get an associate's degree, not a baccalaureate degree. It's kind of like having a GED.
