Clojure, like Ruby, does falseyness correctly in that there's only 2 cases of false: nil and false. Everything else is true. This is easy to reason about, and it allows for nils to "flow" through your logic (especially with nil-punning where in the context of collections, nil is also an empty sequence).
Some of them just worked at desks. Actually quite a few. And they were thin too. You can find pictures of the typical city office-worker if you hunt through the Library of Congress archives.
They can use discretion on civil asset forfeiture too, if they want. Something would be better than the current approach, which is feeling more cartel-esque by the year.

Nihilist and fatalist approaches like yours make the outcome certain. If I show up, speak like a big boy, and provide evidence someone might listen. This is the difference.
I work with 4th-9th grade girls teaching them code, and recommend this to them to work on over the summer! It's a great curriculum and does an awesome job pulling children in!
Everyone should PGP sign their git commits with a secret key stored on a YubiKey. Make small changes to your code, read the diff, then commit and sign before pushing to the repo. IMPO, that's really the only way to protect the integrity of source code.

If you are adding large changes without carefully reading the diffs and you do not sign the commits it's just a matter of time.
It is a political decision, whether the government wants to pay the costs out of the federal budget. If the government is serious about CO2 reduction and also shifting commute traffic from cars to public transport, this might be an surprisingly cheap option. As the high energy costs also mean increased tax revenue, it might not even be a large load for the budget (and compared to many other things, spending like €10B/year on public transport isn't really much anyway).

Pull over a guy, take the paper cash out of his wallet without charging him with a crime. No amount of wordplay can make that constitutional in a reasonable persons mind.

they should rather subsidize heat pumps to replace aging gas heating systems prevalent in the 1960s homes here. Would help to reduce energy dependency on russia
The EU has a 78% vaccination rate and a 52% booster rate. Mask usage in public places is generally very high. The EU never turned vaccination and masks into divisive political and cultural issue.

All of this compares very favourable to the US where vaccination is 65% and boosters are 31%. Plus vaccination, mask usage and lockdowns became deeply decisive topics, substantially reducing the effectiveness of all of them. In the end it’s place the US in bad spot for resolving the the pandemic quickly.
What's the connection? This comment went right over my head.
I mean it's page one in any "Good programmer" book: use descriptive names.

Even programming has lots of this sort of shorthand going on going on. You probably use several of them every day without really thinking about it. We write "def" instead of "define", "struct" instead of "structure", "var" instead of "variable", "mut" instead of "mutable", "puts" instead of "put_string", "std::vector" instead of "standard_library::vector", and you can probably think of 50 more if you put your mind to it. I'm sure even you have named a loop index variable "i" or "idx" at some point. Are you also advocating we change all of these to make them more descriptive?
I look through my server logs sometimes and often see connection and request throttling being activated, by those who are hitting the servers with their automated exploit tools. I see having some sort of throttling as essential as being able to set the max client body file size to prevent abuse.

Of course, I could run something else in front of the server, but it's simpler for my use cases not to. The auto-SSL and simplified configuration were very attractive things about Caddy, however.

If your CMS provides it, maybe you could run an exit poll for people who demo Caddy, then look elsewhere, as I'm just speaking from my own experience.

The smear campaign didn't start yesterday. For example, Elizabeth Warren falsely claimed he was "freeloading", and said Musk buying Twitter was "dangerous for our democracy".
+1 Sabine Hossenfelder. I find her way of explaining a bit more towards my tastes.
And yet, it is true. Not everywhere trains obviously, but you'll have bus links to every dump - at least 5-6 a day and the closer you get to civilization the more often (up to every half an hour or whenever you have the train to the nearby station). They do come within a few minutes of schedule, no legend here - sometimes they even come a bit earlier and sometimes also wait hehe.
Edit: my village has trains to the main city every half an hour and I can walk 10 minutes to the station or take a bus if the weather is nasty.
Widespread Swagger-UI library vulnerability leads to DOM XSS attacks
> - Less/no expensive accounting

Not quite. Many people (eg commuters) have monthly train passes, almost all students have a "Semesterticket" (university enrolment is about 350 EUR every half year, but that includes all public transport in the region).

Now, the 9-Euro-Ticket is cheaper than those options, so out of fairness the holders of all those tickets are getting a refund of 3 months worth of their pass minus 3x9=27 EUR, which is a huge administrative burden for the public transport providers and universities. That substantial burden would not have been reduced by having the ticket for free.

There is a very long history of jurisprudence over the past 2+ centuries that has done a pretty good job of defining what "unreasonable" means, and there are tons and tons of SCOTUS cases that have dealt with that. The basics, though, nearly always involve a judge reviewing the evidence to determine if a crime is probable, and issuing a warrant in that case.

The fact that civil forfeiture is so contrary to all the other definitions of "reasonable" that courts have emphasized over the years should make it a clear violation of the Constitution.
> They can use discretion on civil asset forfeiture too, if they want.

That's how it works already. That's also why they can do it to whoever they like.

Thank you for the correction. I should have done my math a bit better. I do appreciate this community for calling out incorrect data. One of the very few communities left that call errors out in a thought out way.
There are also trains between Denmark and Sweden, and I'd be surprised if there's not similar things going on in the Benelux area.

Ask HN: Curriculum and resume, is this a good idea for a side hustle?
Hi everyone, I was already talking about it on ItaliaPersonalFinance, I'm thinking of starting a small business to supplement my income.

The idea is to help other people improve or build from scratch their CV, resume (and LinkedIn profile) at a price yet to be determined. I would start with a couple of free consultations and then try to figure out the price at which to offer this service.

By now I have quite a bit of experience and also having some colleagues and friends in HR, I know that my work has actually brought some results.

Can I kindly hear your opinion?

Thank you!
Right, it is tax-funded.

Don't ask me how exactly they assign the tax money to the train companies, but probably they get a fixed amount per ticket sold, which would be another reason why it is important to "sell" those tickets.
Good! It's important for you to understand how privacy is never guaranteed. Sniffing and tracking who you are talking to is the oldest page in the FBI, CIA, and NSA playbook.
You don’t sound rude. These assumptions are common for games in general, but who knows what the assumptions were for this game in particular? Or whether this programmer knew C well at the time? Or if Microsoft was likely to ask for ports or updates?
Yes companies have been kicked out of YC. I don't know whether these allegations are true and have no opinion on which party was in the right here.

How is it advertised?
The NHS has gone the other way and wont run diagnostic tests it really needs to. The end result is growing legal action over failure to diagnose conditions. Long covid is diagnosed in just 28,000 patients and yet the office for national statistics says by the symptom studies 1.8 million have it. There is no where I know of, certainly not on the NHS, where you can get a test for microclots, a condition found in the bulk of Long Covid cases and easily treatable but doesn't show up in normal clotting tests. You can get micro clot tests throughout a lot of Africa but such is the reluctance to run tests in the UK no labs have bothered. Its something we have known can be tested and treated for 17 months at least.

Be careful about reducing the testing just because it drives over treatment because under treatment is quite deadly, cheaper maybe but also has a serious impact of life expectancy and disease burden. Life expectancy is dropping in the UK and disease burden is one of the highest in the western world and growing. The grass isn't greener on the low test and treatment side, health care is still increasingly expensive and the results are worse.
I appreciate that you're offering a solution. I think the proposal would put the burden on tax-payers.
Tesla is an awesome company with so much potential. However, it's infatuation with Autopilot/self-driving/whatyouwannacallit is an almost impossible problem to solve with potentially fatal consequences as this news shows, and it diverts unnecessary resources from the company in creating a truly great electric vehicle. It's a strategic mistake from management imo.
> A lot of people are saying that Musk is buying Twitter to get ahead of this story and control the narrative around it. That's a reasonable (albeit very unproven) hypothesis.

I’m sorry but there is no world in which Musk spends $40b to control the narrative in a single sexual harassment story. Clearly it was only worth $250k to get an NDA from her in 2018. Musk buying Twitter has nothing to do with this.

Musk’s tweets about incoming political attacks on the other hand likely do have something to do with it.
For a standalone assembler, I think YASM is a little more the default nowadays than NASM, although honestly the two are probably very interchangeable. Another major option is to use your C compiler's assembler (gas, clang -cc1as, or masm), or suck it up and use inline assembly directly.
I am in a similar boat, I feel healthy but I would like to do a full body and blood checkup to know if there's anything coming down the line or if anything's out of order at the moment but I do not yet know.

Is it better to know? To not know? To know when it's the moment? BTW I'm in Italy so it wouldn't even be that expensive to do every couple years.
This is pretty typical in most organizations. There are roughly 2-3 people on a team that carry 80% of the workload in a given period. It's not out-of-the-ordinary.

Even average developers can become the "workhorse" in an organization.

The problem seems to be a dysfunctional organization. You should feel safe to take a vacation, to turn down the heat for a while and let others take over while you recharge your energy, etc.

If you start to feel like you can't control the amount of stress you feel in this position that's a big, red flag that you're heading down the road to burn out. It's never worth it. Even if you have to take a financial hit to get out you should seriously consider cutting your losses and run. If you can talk with your org leaders and let them know what you're going through and that you want to take some serious time off.

Then take some serious time off. Disconnect from work and do not respond to emails, messages, etc. Find a good therapist for you and start seeing them regularly. Etc.

They use the estate square downstairs sometimes. Jumping over the (plastic) bench is a popular exercise - alas, they're mostly not very good at it, hence the curve in the top bar of the bench, but this also means scratter-scratter-scratter-clunk-RESOUNDING-CLUNK-screams-and-shouting, repeat every 60s for 4 hours. My brain was mush at the end of hour one, I'll be honest.
That’s a politician’s opinion, not a smear campaign. It’s possible for people to have a negative opinion or to expose the shitty things that a person has done without there being some grand conspiracy. In fact that seems much more likely to me.
One test the law likes for reasonableness is to ask a jury.

We presume the jury are reasonable people (unfortunately the US also screws up how juries work) and so if they have a consensus that must be reasonable.

The UK uses "double reasonableness" in it's anti-tax avoidance law. It says the jury should ask themselves if any reasonable person might have done this anyway. If your jurors can't conceive of how even one other reasonable person could think what you did made sense, except that it reduced tax liability, then in fact it did not reduce liability, your avoidance scheme doesn't work.
> Corruption always finds a way, with or without free transport.

Indeed. I've taken the train in Romania with a Romanian friend. The ticket for both of us would have been X$, say, but she talked to the conductor and paid him 1/3 X$ in cash to "look the other way" and ignore us. Conductor pocketed that, we traveled cheaper, and the company lost the revenue.
Fairly sure that Midnight Trains are specifically going after a different market than the luxury super-long-haul market. A lot of their marketing blurb really focuses on them as an alternative to short-haul (i.e. intra-european) flights.

And that’s why I replace all the panels on my laptops with proper ones, and only use monitors with good contrast ratios.

As low-budget option I can recommend the Fujitsu Siemens P17-2, it’s from 2004, available used around 20 € and has better contrast, brightness, and viewing angles than any TN panel even today.

It’s ridiculous that a monitor from 2004 is still better than anything the complainers in this thread are using today.

Exactly, and the human "bias towards action" is amplified by legal mandate. A doctor can't recommend inaction if a pack of lawyers is lurking in the bushes waiting to pounce if the situation worsens.

Yes, russia is engaged in many actions that make clear that they are perpetrating a genocide, such as:

- literally saying Ukraine should not exist

- saying Ukrainians aren't a real people, just russians

- planning to solve "The Ukraine Question" (yes, phrased by the Kremlin just as another dictator phrased "The Jewish Question")

- planning to end Ukraine as a country and split up the land between themselves and other countries (maps have even been found among russian forces in Ukraine illustrating this)

- mass executions to rid Ukrainian land of Ukrainians (see Bucha for just 1 example)

- mass shelling of civilian targets (homes, etc.) in cities to rid Ukrainian land of Ukrainians

- destroying and stealing grain from Ukraine to starve Ukrainians (russia has a history of doing this in Ukraine, see: Holodomor)

- refusing and attacking international food aid, mefical aid, and rescue to Ukrainian civilians

- announcing Ukrainians who fled the fighting will have their property and homes given to pro-russian fighters in territory russia controls

- shooting and shelling civilians who try to evacuate

- sending Ukrainians in areas russia controls to "filtration camps" where those who show support for Ukraine are executed or forcibly deported to russia or russian controlled land

- destroying Ukrainian cultural landmarks

- forcing Ukrainians in russian controlled territory to not speak Ukrainian

the list goes longer, but russia has not at all tried to hide it, simply watch what the state propagandists and putin himself say and have said of Ukraine as a sovereign state

That's all nice but we used to recommend systematic PSA screening for all males over 50. We later realized that there was a lot of false positives and that the intervention often brought more risks than it cured actual cancers. So it's only recommended for patients with risk factors.

Now, consider the GP who has healthy 50yo, does a PSA anyway and it's positive. The GP could still decide not to act. But the patient is not so likely not to do anything. Or even understand the odds. At that point, if the patient dies, the GP is likely to get sued because he should have acted. Even if over all of his patients, not acting was more efficient. If the GP decides to act, however, regardless of whether the patient survives, he won't be blamed for it. So doctors have a nasty incentive to act.

Lookit all the "information overload" sentiment; and how little of the news is actually relevant to our daily lives.

We don't wanna pay for it because we know we don't need it and it isn't good for us. The grip of addiction or "go along" is strong enough for some to cough up cash, but it's not the vast market of unfillable desire that the publishers want to sell to their advertisers.

Newspapers cost more than their sale price to print: just because you've paid for it doesn't mean you're no longer the product the publisher is selling. It's just a way the publisher makes you seem more attractive to the real market. They know and use their "unpaid circulation" numbers too.

The destruction of "print costs" in the internet age has not changed the underlying dynamic that much.
