I don't see evidence of hostile behaviour. Could just be awkward interactions. The framing set by the title is also kind of funny, I don't see how this person did anything to change anything in this context. Did I miss something?
There’s a startup (European sleeper) that wants to revive that route. Perhaps this fall.
That's exactly the point, I don't mind that the people have access to that infrastructure if that's all they have, even if I don't personally need it. My inlaws would be dead without their car. You don't get to pay taxes for things you personally need and complain that other people got theirs, which is what you are doing.

The infrastructure needed is not the same for goods, and public services compared to tens of millions of people driving, and thus doesn't cost nearly the same. So the point of my post still stands -- I pay for a lot of things I don't need as it is, including the ridiculous gas tax reduction so everybody can pretend it's business as usual that will end up being more expensive than the 9 Euro train ticket.

So, git gud? Sorry, I'm not buying it. People have different motor skills, you know. You can't always make your body physically perfect.

Changing the mapping might work (although I doubt it, it's a deep kernel mechanism that probably avoids such complexity), but requires having the knowledge that it's even possible and how to do it. Sadly, laptops don't come with the instructions. And why should they? Machines should be made well in the first place.

Oh, and setting a mask doesn't help because b, c, e, i, k, o, r, u, all have nasty consequences.

the fact that SV companies are getting 50,000 applicants while other more or less critical sectors struggle to field any talent at all points to a (the?) deeper problem at the root of the leetcode fiasco
I predominately drink espresso style coffee but as an Americano or a long black. I also drink a lot of southeast Asian hawker stall style “sock” coffee (kopi o kosong).
thats the idea. you grow local high quality things tha are prime time for consumption. no time to store them in logistics centers or long distance transortation.
People have been building these things for years in the Bay Area now with 1 filter (strapped to the back) or 2 (making a triangular prism), to deal with the smoke from the fires. Surprised that isn't mentioned in the article. I first learned about them in 2017 but I'm sure people were doing it prior.
My problem with this article: I did not see a concrete suggestion for where children should play poker.

Clearly, they cannot play at casinos or for real money online. I suppose they could play for fake money online, but there the dynamics are much different. (Why not go all-in and risk it all if you can just create a fresh account if you lose?) Fake money tournaments, where the goal is to come out on top instead of maximize profit, are probably the best option. But the word "tournament" doesn't appear in the article (and even then, is it really good for kids to be hanging around with the people on online poker sites)?

I suppose implicitly the author is talking about playing heads-up against a parent at the dinner table, or with close family members, with fake money. But people who don't know anything about poker are going to play essentially randomly, and the game won't last long enough/will be too variable for the kid to see any reward from playing "correctly," so I'm not sure there's a point.

Also, the first thing to teach the kid is to fold most of their hands. But sitting out of hands is boring and the kid is going to get bored. It's called "grinding" for a reason...

Something like MTG that isn't pay-to-win would be a better choice.
I suggest you read something as basic as the Wikipedia article on sumpter, basically everything you've said about it is wrong, and I'm wholly uninterested in discussing this with someone from an alternate timeline.

What I will say is first, that trying to equate families and countries is rarely valid, and this case is no exception (declaring yourself divorced, for example, does not make it so, and if you take certain actions after unilaterally claiming your union is solved, your partner would be within their rights to invite state force against you!). And second, that yes, firing cannons on soldiers is usually considered an act of war. Everyone involved knew that, the confederacy was already gearing up for war and some think that SC's intent was specifically to provoke a war. So your argument that it was just friendly ribbing doesn't really stand to scrutiny.

Your just pushing transparent confederate propaganda at this point. Stop apologizing for traitors and insurrectionists.
Vaccines may lessen long Covid for some, but more study is needed
Cool to hear that!

To be honest, we regularly refactor our architecture at bamboolib in order to make sure that there is almost no gap between what we would love to say in natural language and the code that we need to write.

This resulted in a very stable and clear internal API surface (read architecture). So, literally, all we had to do was adding mount points where users could register their plugins and then include those at render time.

The next day, customers could write plugins just as we did. And, as a matter of fact, all the bamboolib transformations, visualizations, views, etc are just sophisticated plugins that our customers could write themselves because they have access to the same API as we do.

So, no secret sauce except for "good architecture" which is easiest achieved as an ongoing effort rather than an one-off project.
So basically the people who choose to live far away get subsidized? They work fewer hours for the same pay.

More clearly: "vaccines as a potential treatment for long COVID".

> Vaccination after infection with SARS-CoV-2... is associated with a decrease in the likelihood of long COVID symptoms, finds a large study of U.K. adults published today by the [British Medical Journal, ...] at least in the first few months after vaccination // They stress that causality cannot be inferred from this observational evidence [...] Evidence... suggests that long COVID is reduced in those who are infected after vaccination, but the effectiveness of vaccination on pre-existing long COVID is less clear

> Researchers ... drew on ONS data for [~28000] adults... who received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose after testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection... then tracked the presence of long COVID symptoms over a seven month follow-up period (February to September 2021). Long COVID symptoms of any severity were reported by... 24% at least once during follow-up. A first vaccine dose was associated with an initial 13% decrease in the odds of long COVID, but it is unclear from the data whether this improvement was sustained over the following 12 weeks, until a second vaccine dose was given. Receiving a second vaccine dose was associated with a further 9% decrease in the odds of long COVID, and this improvement was sustained at least over an average follow-up of nine weeks

Original research article: Manoj Sivan et al, Are vaccines a potential treatment for long covid?, BMJ (2022) https://dx.doi.org/10.1136/bmj.o988

The abstract shows numbers can swing considerably (sometimes also indicating possible worsenings: «Another small study by Tsuchida et al measured antibody titres and symptoms post-vaccination in 42 adults with long covid: 61% reported no change in symptoms, 21% reported worse symptoms, and 16% reported an improvement during the two weeks after vaccination»), and success ratios comparatively high but relatively low («At 120 days, 16.6% of those vaccinated reported complete resolution of symptoms, compared with 7.5% of those who were unvaccinated»).
Yeah we will probably see some whacky things come out of Japan soon in this regards. The median age is 47. It's a country of old people and childless youth.
Well, in my industrial suburb an entire food service industry arose to provide overtime meals to workers at the many 24/7 facilities where they were sometimes needed to work more hours than originally planned, entitling them to a top-dollar complimentary feast.

Some popular restaurants, and others were kitchens not open to the public but the key was the rapid delivery of one-off orders not long after the employee accepted the overtime.

But this was decades before DoorDash or Uber Eats, there weren't even any cellphones, you had to look at the paper menu and order over a land line, it was so primitive it took 20 seconds.

Which Linux distribution has the best community?
Best is subjective, if course.
Not when you run Linux on the HP, though. For most tasks, it’s much more efficient than MacOS, even on M1.

Then again, if you get to run Linux on the M1 some day, this might be slightly different.
> It's one of my favorite games to play with friends and money is never, ever involved.

I personally hate playing poker without real money. I feel like taking out money gets rid of one of the most interesting thing about poker.

I don’t really like fake money either as many people don’t play as seriously as when there is real money involved. I noticed that even when the amount is very small (so it might as well be fake money), people just play different when real money is involved.
Thank you for sharing that observation and the suggestion! I will keep that in mind :)

Do these things make a noticeable difference? I have never been in a heavily polluted atmosphere, then scrubbed by an air purifier.

Clearly very different for large-scale / industrial uses etc.
The professor withdrew the offer to the author to have a research internship with the lab (seemingly as a result of the conversation), then both researchers avoided discussing project details with him.

Near the conclusion: "From then on, both Alphonse and Beckham were very tight-lipped about the project. They consistently needed to leave for a meeting right when I came to talk to them after class, and would say that the project was "undergoing some changes." I managed to corner Professor Alphonse and one of his grad students towards the end of the semester to ask whether I would still have my research assistantship for the Summer. He, very politely, told me, "I would say that the position is...tentative. I'd recommend that you take any other opportunities instead of waiting on this one." As I was about to explain that I did not have any other opportunities, he had a meeting to get to and hurried off, interrupting me when I tried to speak."
Being triggered by the use of the word "dirty" for fission reactors, in comparison with fusion reactors no less, is far more telling than the use of the word. It creates radioactive waste. Creating waste is dirty. The promise of fusion is not to do this. Requiring the former for the latter is a strange proposition when viewed threw the only lense that makes sense for fusion power: cleanliness, the absence of dirtiness.

The love for nuclear power some internet communities exhibit has far left the realm of the science people often invoke as their reason and gone into full-on scientism. Nuclear scientists have respect for radiation. They wouldn't take offense with the mere mention that it has unwanted byproducts. They built and ran a couple hundred reactors for a few decades, and only two of them managed to render large swaths of the landscape into uninhabitable wastelands, which is quite a feat. But it was only possible because they didn't minimize the danger with the sort of I-would-love-a-reactor-in-my-backyard attitude that seems to be prevalent now. Which is, by the way, not only getting the science wrong, but also the politics: nuclear power is out not because it is dangerous, but because it is too expensive and, at this point, too slow to build.

While science bros have been huffing isotopes, actual scientists, with the help of some eerily effective subsidies, have improved solar and wind power and battery technology to the point where it is competitive and scalable not just to replace nuclear power, but even coal. Why people keep making the same arguments as they did a decade ago, a time span in which those technologies became 80-90% cheaper and more efficient, cannot be explained by the natural sciences.
Betting on matches of chess is much different. In poker you have a betting round after every move, the betting size matters and the betting is one of the main sources of information you get. In chess even if you bet after every move the amount wouldn't matter and you get little to no extra information from the bet.
> This is the one-two punch that Republicans use to kill social programs.

While there is that, welfare traps are not limited to the US, and through countries with very different levels of “social democratic” focus, so they are clearly a broader and more compelling thing somehow.
40 is the prime age for men. You can easily get a younger gf from Thailand/Vietnam/Philippines with minimum effort. And you never know you might find true love (if it exists) as well.
Yea, I admit, Framework makes an extremely compelling selling point here. If I buy a Framework laptop I can buy my own replacement parts and not have to ever deal with warranty service ever again. I can buy Rev 1 and then a few years later possibly buy a Rev 5 motherboard.. and maybe a Rev 5 lower shell to accommodate it or some other silly stuff.

It kinda reminds me of how some Thinkpad addicts went to crazy lengths to upgrade their 10 year old thinkpads with modern parts lol. Except this time it's official and supported.

That's awesome!

I think this HP is kinda tacky. I don't need a trackpoint and I don't want a keyboard offset to the side like that.
I think you basically agreed with the GP.
> And yet, some countries and cultures have safety nets that work.

Welfare traps are definitely a thing in countries and cultures with “safety nets that works”, fwiw.
You realise that single parenthood is a choice (I'm a single parent by choice), whereas having your family separated under slavery is not, right?

The comparison should be prevalence of kidnapping in modern times vs family separation under slavery.
Isn't most titanium sourced from Russia? (Ironically, that may include the titanium used in modern Western howitzers to make them lighter and helo-transportable.) If so, we may see some shortages in the future?
If this interview process is so golden (based on your metrics of success) why isn’t every one doing it?
This document was simultaneously published by the very committee that issued the initial ordinance of secession in South Carolina, and it explains the decision to secede at great length. It is all about slavery:

https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Address_of_the_People_of_...

Additionally, articles of secession from other states also explicitly mention slavery in the actual text of the law, including Alabama's ordinance that proposed the Montgomery Convention at which the Confederacy was founded. Even more states explain it in similar justifying documents.

The vice president of the Confederacy delivered a speech establishing slavery as the primary motivator of secession: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornerstone_Speech

Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy, is on record before the war explaining slavery as cause, and after the war claiming it was about states' rights (to practice slavery).
You've got to wonder why it never went anywhere. Economics is probably the answer, but it doesn't seem satisfying.

If it can extract useful work from merely warm water, it would seem like the ideal thing to maximise the overall thermal efficiency of a large power plant.

Most active breweries in the US will fill glass bottles in two standard sizes of 64oz ("growler"; a bit shy of 2L) or 32oz ("mini-growler", 1L). Sometimes they will only fill growlers you originally bought from them but IME most will fill any growler you bring in. They're great to bring to parties instead of a six-pack. So at least within one area, your idea is already implemented---it'd be a good start to build on.
I mean no, I trust accurate historical sources. I'm just saying the stuff you're spouting is so completely obviously off base that it's directly contradicted by Wikipedia.

Like you're not even trying to go for a thing that is debated. Literally no one pushes the story your telling, you've made it up! I cannot find anything, anything that corroborates any of the stuff you're saying. Sumter wasn't empty when shelled. The reinforcements were sent before Lincoln took office. No one was kicked out at bayonet point. You've created confederate fanfiction!

Like how you're pretending the south wasn't also building an army at the same time! Lol.

This is exactly the right way to do it. Not only do you find out if the candidate can program, but how well they can pick up unfamiliar code, tools, etc, can they communicate, can they work with others, etc, etc, etc.

Leetcode bears little resemblance to everyday programming. Of course it's sometimes necessary to understand big-O, and that various data structures and algorithms exist, and which ones you might apply to certain problems, but coding them from scratch, from memory, within a fixed time? Pretty much never.

This is a pretty complex subject.

I'd start from the fact that Nicolas I was not supposed to be an emperor. His elder brother Constantine should've, except secretly renounced his claim to the throne in 1823. Very few people knew it and Nicolas was not among them.

After the death of Alexander I, Nicolas proclaims Konstantin as an emperor in Saint Petersburg. While at the same time in Warsaw Konstantin abdicates the throne.

For short period of time Russia even had a coin with Konstantin I on it and part of the army even swore allegiance to him. Which was also a problem.

Anyhow - Nicolas was never taught of how to be an emperor. He has his strong sides (in international politics at least) but in the end this played a bad joke on him as he became overconfident. At the same time he ruined his own army by paying more attention to the looks instead of read education and improvements. He also managed to build the vertical system of yes sayers similar to the one Putin has now.

All of this led to Crimean War (yes, also very similar to the current situation) which led to many reforms later. Including freeing serfs, local governance etc.

One solution to this is to have fixed size budgets for assistance programs. Eg. Each week 1% of GDP will be spent on XYZ assistance program.

The funding available will be divided equally by all eligible people.

Then fraud becomes not the taxpayers problem, but the problem of other eligible people. Those people will get more if they can reduce the fraud rate.

Obviously for this to happen, the eligible people need to be empowered to do something about it - and a good way to achieve that is to give the money to a charity for the blind to distribute to the blind, rather than directly to the government's list of blind people. Obviously you need to make sure the charity has suitable governance, but there are already regulations to ensure that.
