Plants uptake chemicals and other smaller molecules through their roots. Oftentimes they will store pollutants in their fruit or stems because they don’t know what to do with it.

Here’s an article from Nature that specifically studied plastic uptake by plant roots.[1]

I can handle mandatory fun if it involves physical movement. Sedentary mandatory fun isn't particularly more interesting than solitary sedentary fun.
That's very cool. Presumably as well this could be opt out if you had specific operations (perhaps from a write-only API) that don't need to wait to do further writes?
It's exactly what people with GIS experience expects. It's X, Y ordering. See also: WKT. The problem is GeoJSON is often used by folks with no other geospatial experience and lat, lon is colloquially the more common ordering.

But that's all about casual use. If someone's job is to write geospatial code for a database driver, it's a bare minimum to expect they'd pay attention to making this work right. Also to have a test suite to verify it's working right.

(When I write code I always put in a little check on inputs to display a very clear error message if it sees a "latitude" outside the range [-90, 90]. Won't catch all bad data but sure can help.)
Well, they also have to pick a payment processor. And find somewhere to host it all. And pay for all of the above.

I don't particularly believe in "toxic" questions, but don't like beating around the bush either. I find the best way to deal with either is to cut through the crap and give an honest answer, as I tried to do here.

Extremists hold some contrarian views that are true, and some that are grossly untrue. Extremists only benefit when the mainstream opposition denies the views that are true. This is the primary conversion tactic.

extreme example: A White supremacist says the sky is blue and finds someone Mainstream to argue that it is red. A third party listens to the argument and sees the extremists making points about the color of the sky and wonders if they are right about white supremacy too.

This thread fits that mold perfectly.

Some argues that hate crimes are published differently in the media depending on the race of the perpetrators. My answer is: yeah, so what?
Without leet coding, named algorithms (binary search, dynamic programming, and other esoterica) or data structures (only requiring knowledge of arrays, assoc arrays, loops is enough), coding interviews still allow you to demonstrate your thinking ability.

You can construct various simple problems (that require only loops and arrays) that can easily be mapped to real world problems and see how well the programmers perform (problems: that exploit the fact that input is sorted, linear search for min/max, collect data -> loopy state transition -> output state).

A fictional scenario that you can map to a real software problem, there's 7 cities, N people (program input) in city 0. 6 buses, one goes from city 0 to city 1, other from 1 to 2, ... last from 5 to 6.

Bus has a limited capacity (6 additional program inputs). Everyone needs to be at city 6. Time starts at 0. One time tick: all buses go from city X to city (X+1), unload people at city (X+1), and then go back to city X. What's the minimum time it takes for everyone to be at city 6?

There's 7 inputs (N people and bus capacities) and there's multiple programs one can write to solve the problem. There's no math tricks, no data structures.

You can write a program whose time complexity depends on the size of the inputs O(N), or just on the number of inputs O(7), or maybe something worse or in-between.

I have no idea if there is a way for one to teach/learn how to write the simplest program as soon as possible, but some will find it in 1 minute, some in 60 minutes. The amount of time it takes might be irrelevant and the only thing you're looking for is the ability to eventually think simple enough. And the thinking bit is not the only filter. The person might struggle to use the computer (but uses it well enough for these simple problems), might have no idea about the machine that runs the program, etc.
Desktop Linux was historically meant as opposed to server.

Plus, most actual desk tops today feature laptops.

So still a desktop use case: it's just not in "tower" or "mini-tower" or "all-in-one" form.

One of the things I love in Mexico is the "topes", they're like sleeping policemen, but lot bigger, and you basically have to slow down unless you want to mess up your suspension. I think some of them are implemented by local communities as well, which is pretty cool.

Anything else than GitLab, it's so slow and bloated. With every "update" it seems to get even slower and depend even more on javascript. I really hate how so many open source projects shifted to this abnormation because Microsoft acquired GitHub, I mean, regardless of what evil shit Microsoft could think up, it can't be worse than having to deal with this javascript turd. If your web interface can't even just display simple information like issues page or merge requests, without depending on a huge pile of steaming javascript, you have FAILED in web design. I cry every time I'm forced to use GitLab. Just my two cents.
There was a proxy, proxomitron in early 2000s, that allowed you to change the html/js as it went through the proxy. people used it for adblocking and removing page annoyances, like removing sounds / animated gifs / etc. Here is a list of random old filters people had built at one time: https://proxomitron.info/45/help/Default-Web-Filters.html

The first US states to require licenses were in 1903. Long before police pursuits were much of a thing.

It kind of feels like some kind of idle loop where my mind has some spare cycles and it defaults to hacker news and similar stuff, then it goes down the rabbit hole once started. Just making it a little harder to view the sites seems to help me a lot. I add 127.0.0.1 <site> to my /etc/hosts file during work hours. I find myself looking at a broken page a couple times a day without even realizing how I got there, but it allows me to avoid the rabbit hole and just get back to work.
I wonder what the author means by the alloc crate not being stable? The alloc crate is stable since 1.36.0: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/RELEASES.md#ve...

Regarding the reproducible builds concern around paths being integrated into the binary, a flag exists to get rid of paths: --remap-path-prefix

https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/command-line-arguments.html#...

On nightly, there is also remap-cwd-prefix added by the chromium team to address some of the shortcomings with remap-path-prefix: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/89434

Overall I'm really impressed that an individual wrote 100 thousand lines of Rust. That's a lot!
> There existed philosophies you've never heard of, that are dead, because they died with the people who've followed them. Is it just chance?

Nope. Religion tends to bring people together, often making them much more powerful as a group. But to me, it's just not worth selling out.

> I think this is a focus exclusive to "nu-Christian" Anglosphere denominations

I don't think that is the case. John 14:6 says:

“I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father but by me”

So basically, if you don't believe in Jesus, you can't go to heaven. If that's not an effort to restrict doubt, then what is?
It looks like a bug specifically in the Go driver and has already been reported: GODRIVER-2429
There's no such operating system as "Linux". I don't know what these "workarounds" are exactly, but if it's something like installing a driver for a fingerprint reader that's present in a standard Fedora distro, but not in a vanilla Ubuntu then I don't see the problem. Of course it won't work out of the box.

I am nearly the opposite, but it has the same effect.

> Matt Levine's columns on Luna

Thanks, some great stuff. This[0] jumped out at me:

"But there is no magic here. There is no algorithm to guarantee that Luna is always worth some amount of money. The algorithm just lets people exchange Terra for Luna. Luna is valuable if people think it’s valuable and believe in the long-term value of the system that you are building, and not if they don’t.

The danger here is that Point 7 never goes away. Any morning, people could wake up and say “wait a minute, you just made up this all up, it’s worthless,” and decide to dump their Lunas and Terras."

I can't speak to which data they used for this particular evaluation, but interviewing.io also hosts many companies' first phone screens -- it's not just that "some interviewers may funnel you in to their real hiring pipeline", for some companies interviewing.io is the start of their real hiring pipeline.

From what I understand, they do a lot of calibration to make sure the "advance to next round" flag correlates with their clients' version of that flag.

All that said, the interviewers they work with are all also interviewers are FANGs and similar -- the likelihood of working with someone you interview at a company with 10000s of employees is...about as low as for a mock interview.

You've definitely identified a possible confound, but I think the i.io team is aware of it and does a lot of mitigation (for many reasons, not just for this one report).
How does Apple manage to have human reviewers and engineers you can talk with on the phone about App Store issues? It seems like it scales just fine for them.

Part of the problem as well here is that the alleged policy violation doesn't gives enough information for a developer to even figure out what behaviour they're seeing, let alone where in a complex app that feature is.

Then, secondly, when their automation gets it wrong, or there is some misunderstanding over something, there's no ability for the developer to actually have any kind of meaningful or substantive discussion - if you can't work out what the issue is, based on their incredibly high level description, you're out of luck, as you won't get any meaningful intelligent or personal response from anyone - expect templated, automated emails that are not in any way addressing the message you sent.
I think think post isn’t about discovering or being fascinated by generics, but just demonstrating what they feel is a good use case. The general guidance I’ve heard (including from the Go team) is that generic code is not preferable and should be reserved for use cases that particularly benefit from it. Generics in Go are brand new so it is good to see many uses (and misuses) to help establish the best patterns.
Also, higher cars with huge grills, lower visibility, and thick A pillars have more capacity to severely injure and kill.

Solution is super simple though. Increase gas tax so that it costs $20 per gallon.
> There existed philosophies you've never heard of, that are dead, because they died with the people who've followed them. Is it just chance? Is it because the surviving philosophies are better? Who knows. But if you're a betting man, you should bet on those surviving philosophies being actually better, more useful, more conducive to survival.

I get what you're saying but to offer another perspective, informed by the work of Rober Pirsig as presented in his second book 'Lila': I think those religions/philosophies you mention are an organism of their own, with humans as their hardware. Are they really more useful for any given human? (certainly some are not, if we choose a human who's an outlier, a 'black sheep', so to speak) Or ar they useful and more conductive to the survival of the religion/philosophy itself?

I think it's a struggle between intellect (the individual) and culture (religion, country, a political party, etc.).

Pick up the management and leadership skills (including things like decisioning on incomplete inputs) and step up the ladder. Generalists are essential in the executive team to have the necessary context, make hard decisions, and own outcomes.

Alternatively, enjoy working in small teams (skunkworks-type product teams in large orgs, startups, or teams that are small by nature of what they do e.g in media and entertainment).

We're exploring if there is any other workaround, but it is likely that until a 22.04 point release goes out with a new kernel, it will require installing a newer kernel from Ubuntu's kernel PPA to make suspend work properly.
The author's goals are noble but the paths they advocate for to get there are based on ignorance at best.

The NHTSA doesn't care about pedestrians because Europe does and by proxy that covers basically everything in the US except trucks. Speeding stats are basically useless given the state of speed limit compliance in the US. Current breathalyzers suck for a variety of reasons though if the OEMs start adding them they might suck less due to incentive alignment. Seat belt interlocks are fine and probably the only politically tractable thing on the list.

Wanna make roads safer? Reduce the number of interactions between traffic of differing speeds, reduce the speed differences at which interactions happen and where possible modify these interactions to reduce accident frequency (e.g. roundabouts vs n-way stops). And before a certain group of jerks gets annoying, my definition of traffic is "all road users".
Nope. Just google searched and dropped it in the screenshot.

Virtually every geospatial format uses longitude latitude order. WKT, WKB, GeoJSON, KML, Shapefiles, FlatGeobuf, Geobuf, you name it. Your data in PostGIS? Longitude, Latitude. Google Earth? Same.

If you're storing data in a standardized format, odds are it's longitude, latitude. If your starting guess is the opposite, you will almost always be wrong.
I'm wondering what's the battery life and power usage under Linux. For many laptops this is a problem.
If you were doing this though (using funds to mint other tokens to sell), the principle was clearly not in USD, so there was still a risk of the bottom falling out on whatever you were holding funds in.

You also can't really add "almost always" to "completely safe". It's either "completely safe", or it's not. This statement is just "it works 100% of the time 65% of the time", but with words rather than numbers.

"It's 'completely safe', until it's not" which is exactly the point that I and others in this thread started with.
> Pathological and perverse, perhaps. But also totally cool and in agreement with the experts.

Um... "perverse"?

I have a lot less patience for these takes than I used to because at least early on in the pandemic people could convincingly claim that wearing a mask was "cool". There was at least truth to the idea that you would be shamed for not wearing a mask. But that's not the situation anymore -- GP wrote a comment about how they're getting a lot of weird looks in public for wearing a mask to help with pollution. If the response to that is, "what's up with this mask fad?", then I'm not sure you understand how fads or popularity work.

Anecdotally, even in a majority Democrat area the majority of people I see in just about every single social situation are not wearing masks, even in enclosed environments and at offices. The majority of retail workers I see don't wear masks. There are maybe 3-6 people total that I've seen in my entire church that wear a mask. And it's not exclusive to Republicans, most Democrats I know are not wearing masks -- to the point where people are far more likely to give funny looks or scowl at others for having one on.

As far as I can tell people wearing masks in public are pretty squarely the minority at this point, but the rhetoric against masking never really got updated since the early pandemic so people are still pretending like if they go to an average grocery store without a mask everyone there will judge them over it.

GP wears a mask to help with allergies and reduce road pollution -- this is pretty reasonable and would have been reasonable pre-pandemic. I don't understand why anyone would care about someone else making that decision in the first place, let alone why they would care so much that they'd call GP a pervert over it. :)

The form matters. The plastic in masks is not inhalable, and in all likelihood wearing a mask reduces inhaled plastics like it reduces inhaling of any other solid.

Fair point.

I thinking you're confusing causality here.

The vast majority have staying power because of two primary things. Have children, teach those children your religion. In the days before mass education and when huge numbers of children died in early age making this a memnatic was an important way for societal continuation.

This says nothing about it's continued usefulness after a paradigm shift.
Damn, that's nice. In Germany it's enough to have the intention to make money outside of regular employment. You won't pay taxes until a certain amount is reached, but you'll have to get a business license and fill out tax forms every year. And if you don't register yourself as "Kleingewerbe" (small business below 22k €), then you'll have to do sales tax too.

There are lawyers and some very shady businesses, that sweep through the web and report anyone who doesn't comply to any kind of law. They actually make money with this. When i had a small business, i've got a cease-and-desist letter from a lawyer of a "competitor" because a single link in my imprint page wasn't clickable. I guess that's why so many people are afraid of starting a business...

Well, these results definitely validate that. Once you're topped out in coding ability, better communication only helps!

Or were you saying that at some point you stopped caring about coding ability and valued strong communication even in the absence of the ability to problem solve and write code?

I agree with you on not liking the idea of changing your time sinks. I ran into a similar problem as your's with Reddit, and realized it was because I did not really like my self.

Somewhere along the way I realized I had not day dreamed or used my imagination for a long time because it was so easy to "read the nearest material I can lay my hands on".

To add some info, USDC is 100% collateralised with USD and DAI is 165%+ collateralised with ETH.

Due to their actual stability (relative to other stablecoins), they're more likely to trade at a premium than at a discount.

About a year ago I traded 10,000 USDC for 12,100 USDT during a run on a certain DeFi bridge, only to trade it back to 12,080 USDC a couple hours later.
