Our company uses a tag, quite improperly, to indicate our "last successful build" on each branch, so our local builds can pull e.g. compiled .o files from that build and speed up the local build process. A tag is improper since it needs to move with every successful build. All relevant commands need --force to update it and it can rarely create headaches when machines disagree.

I believe the right thing functionally is a child branch, updated automatically with either a merge or a force-push on new successful builds. But it feels not quite right conceptually, and it's harder to explain to new developers (who can already get overwhelmed with handling multiple branches). Is there a non-branch solution for having a moving unique label?
> Given this disagreement, it’s not entirely obvious to me that we should resolve it through the Supreme Court rather than having people debate with each other and vote for legislators who will pass laws that reflect their views.

This misunderstands the role of a Constitution. One of the central points of a Constitution is to mark certain things off-limits to democracy. People cannot debate with each other and vote for legislators who will pass laws that are forbidden by the constitution. It doesn't matter how many of them want to, or how solid the argument is. The Constitution says "nope, don't care, you cannot do that".

Even if every single voter in a state wanted to prevent anyone from ever saying "Turtles Suck!", the state cannot pass such a law. Even if there is vigorous disagreement over whether or not people should be allowed to say "Turtles Suck!", the Constitution says "don't care. You cannot pass a law prohibiting this."

So in the case discussed at the top of the article, the core question is whether the Constitution allows states to pass laws that ban abortion.

Roe said that the Constitution does not allow them to do so, because <reasons> (not meant sarcastically, just not worth enumerating them here).

As long as the Constitution is understood in that way, it makes no difference how much debate and disagreement there is about such laws: the Constitution says "you cannot pass laws that function in this way."

Now, of course, currently SCOTUS appears to be ready to present a different understanding of the Constitution in which it does not prevent states from passing laws that ban abortion (or otherwise restrict it). That makes no difference to the central point: if the Constitution is understood to prevent legislation that restricts behavior, the level of disagreement in society about that behavior is of no legal consequence.
Fiat currency is worth nothing but cryptocurrencies carry a huge cost to the environment and energy independence. Crypto is arguably worth negative.
So you're confined to your home if you don't comply which seems equivalent to covid policies, which was the point of the discussion, no? Nobody's been physically forced to get vaccinated, just excluded from public life. That seems to have plenty of precedent.

yeah, who wouldn't want a lot of relationships with the kinds of people you tend to like but that somehow end up feeling shallow and unfulfilling despite all the boxes being checked!
No; the issue is the entirely false equivalence between vaccine mandates and abortion access when the underlying concern is bodily autonomy.
Crash safety is one reason. I like the idea of commuting on an electric bike, except that if a deer jumps in front of me I'm probably dead.

In my car, I have an extremely good chance of survival if I hit something or lose control.

Small light cars would fall somewhere between an average car and a motorbike, but still going to be less safe for the occupants than a larger vehicle.
They're effectively separate organizations. One runs the universities, the other runs the hospitals + med schools.

I'm not stopping until you give me a reason. So far it hasn't caused any problems.
So basically you either have to cough into someone's face, or kiss them, or get bitten, or have sex with them to transmit the virus.

Stop worrying. This isn't another coronavirus-level pandemic.
Apparently the initial wide spread may be due to sexual transmission at two raves:

https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/monkeypox-likely-...
Of course it would. Look at the attention paid to past Ebola outbreaks that mostly didn't even leave West Africa. Hell, one single doctor was repatriated and treated at a CDC isolation lab, and that single case led to a huge amount of panic and controversy. Monkeypox is a mysterious new disease that is much less deadly (good!) but has made it to several continents (surprising!) and has done it against all historical precedent.
The virus is spread through close contact with people, animals or material infected with the virus. It enters the body through broken skin, the respiratory tract, the eyes, nose and mouth.

Though human-to-human transmission is believed to occur through respiratory droplets as well, that method requires prolonged face-to-face contact because the droplets cannot travel more than a few feet, according to the CDC.

>> It’s fairly common to believe you shouldn’t kill people but have no responsibility to keep them alive.

Which is why Roe v. Wade's recognition of abortion being protected until a fetus is considered viable.

But, that call out is worth also enumerating - a logically consistent position with that would be that it's legally acceptable to remove someone from life support. Potentially regardless of their wishes, depending on the level of nuance.
If one honestly believes that abortion is murder, then the murder of an innocent person could not really be justified by a horrible crime between two other people.

For alternative points of reference, ~120 g of sugar is ~140 mL or ~0.60 US cups.
(Context: The article uses abortion as its central -- and only -- example.)

>Why is it traitorous to understand the people you disagree with?

It's not. Many people[1] spend a great deal of time studying the rhetoric and activities of people who oppose abortion. They have studied them far more than you.

>For better or for worse, the vast majority of people I know favor Roe v. Wade. Still, I think I understand the view of people on the other side.

You give two possible reasons for opposing Roe v. Wade, one of which rejects the legal argument as fundamentally arbitrary, and one of which is based on the idea that a human life, with all the rights and dignities that it is entitled to, begins at conception.

This falls into a common trap, which is treating "culture war" disputes as being fundamentally about abstract philosophical debates. This ignores the important parts of the dispute, which concern women's sexuality and the role of (conservative, patriarchal) religion in public affairs. It also ignores the mountains of bad faith and hypocrisy in the anti-abortion movement, including but not limited to a lack of interest in "saving" IVF embryos, bizarre ignorance of the female reproductive system, a refusal to acknowledge the circumstances under which people have late-term abortions, active opposition to medically-accurate sex education and easier access to contraceptives, and a lack of concern for what happens to babies after they're born.

>As far as I can tell, my object-level views on “when abortion should be legal” are close to the median in my (leftist-dominated) corner of the universe. Yet, except with close friends, I’d be scared to say what I think above.

Scared of what, exactly? When you publicly make bad arguments, you should expect public criticism.

The only reason I can see that someone would get mad at you is that you are treating abortion rights as a bloodless, impersonal affair. This is a very practical issue with very real, very serious consequences for the women involved. Most women do not want to engage in an abstract debate about whether they should be forced to carry a dead fetus to term[2].

If you want to discuss how all this relates to jurisprudence and philosophy, you can certainly do that. It's not wrong, and you're not wrong for wanting to ask questions and start discussions on those subjects. But it's important to be clear that such discussions are (almost) totally separate from the practical questions of how overturning Roe v. Wade will actually affect American women. Conflating the two buries the practical questions, and only benefits people who would prefer that the practical questions are ignored.

I research everything that i can about the topic for say couple of days. Then i pick a tutorial or boilerplate, modify it in my own way to learn how it works (and more importantly - why things are why they are).

Once it stops crashing, i try to slowly refactor it for my use case. Crucial part is not taking too big chunks that you lose focus and not getting stuck on irrelevant things. It can get messy but as long as you have loaded it up in your work memory, it should be ok. Later i'll rewrite everything once i understand the domain better.

Yeah, this was mostly an experiment to see what kinds of problems I run into - I didn't expect this to actually work out! It's still very finicky, relying on LLVM to remove dead runtime calls and so on, but non-allocating stuff with immutables should work, though I haven't actually tested it.

Air superiority during WW1 had an almost negligible effect on the outcome of the war. Can you name a single battle where aerial reconnaissance was decisive, or provided more value than artillery, machine guns or proto-tanks?

Even in WW2 where air power was far more powerful, it's still debated how much it contributed to success.
Lots of countries in Asia have a variety of taxi-style transport services that make owning a car not as necessary.

For example, just in India alone you can hitch a ride on a bicycle rickshaw, auto-rickshaw, taxi, bus, train or subway. It's pretty easy to get around anywhere without having to drive, but this is also only possible because labor costs are so absurdly low (and of course, generally not that great for the drivers), with costs for private rides on the first 3 often comparable to public transport costs in the US.

Plus, Europe and Asia are generally more densely populated than the US, so having a car is a status symbol in that it shows that you can afford a safe place to keep a car. Meanwhile, outside of big cities like NYC (where car ownership is similarly a bit of a luxury), people easily have room to safely park one car per family member.

These are all heavily intertwined factors though, just as owning a car isn't as much of a status symbol in less densely populated areas, owning a car is less necessary in more densely populated areas.
Not really.

But the media likes to latch on to that idea. Like a plane crash, a Tesla fire is exceptionally rare, but the news media will report every single one.

If someone's ICE overheats and catches fire, it will hit the local news, maybe. Even if it does, it'll be a 15 second "Oh, traffic on I-5 was slower than normal this afternoon because of a car fire." But a Tesla fire? That's national news.

I'm not aware of anyone doing concurrent programming on the GPU (because it is a poor fit).

It's routine in good Vulkan-based games. One or more CPU threads are telling the GPU what to render, while other CPU threads are concurrently loading new content into the GPU for rendering on later frames. (You're driving down a road. Ahead of you, new content has to be loaded before you get there. Behind you, the memory containing content you can no longer see is released.)

This is complicated to make work. Unreal Engine does it, I think. Rend3->WGPU->Vulkan is supposed to do it, but right now there are locking delays which cause content updating to impact rendering. That's being worked on at the WGPU level.

This is one of those little problems being solved on the way to a big-world Metaverse.

+1 one of most common mistakes for PhD students is picking a project based on research interests rather than the adviser. I believe it is relatively uncommon to speak with former students of an adviser, but this is something that everyone entering a PhD should do.

Finding a good mentor -- someone whose values you agree with and who sets you up for career success -- is far more important than working on any particular topic of interest. The world is full of interesting research topics, and very few PhDs work in the precise area of their PhD research for their entire career.
Never understood this counter argument. It sounds like "oh you think crypto is based on nothing? well it's true, but you're a hypocrite because you also use something based on nothing."

Is it supposed to convince people to adopt it or else they are hypocrites? When has that ever worked?
Ok, then don't tax it if its value is zero.
ENS does aim at the similar problem, but I'm not sure if it's any better than Namecoin. There's this writeup [1] comparing ENS with NMC and Handshake (yet another similar project, with its own chain) and as far as I can tell, ENS doesn't really add anything new to the game, while it has some major inconveniences if you want just the name resolving and nothing else (which seems a pretty realistic scenario to me).

I haven't looked into zkSync or Aztec just yet, but I'm assuming those are dealing with the same problems as Zcash, but on the Ethereum chain? If this means you can just throw in some generic ERC-20 token and get a zero-knowledge version of it (like what z-address is to t-addresses in Zcash), that's pretty cool.

This happened to me with a prescription drug for seizure medication for my dog. The prescription was written to me and dispensed to me so it showed up in my medical records that I had released to the insurance company. It was fairly easy to clear up though because it was written by a veterinarian and the "patient" name was ellie $dogName kelly. (Thankfully my dog's name is different from my middle name!) Technically the prescription was indeed "mine" it just wasn't ever intended for me to take.
I've been called a selfish asshole who just wants to use school as a daycare when I said our school should be open. LOTS of people pulled the wool over their eyes and pretended that "kids are resilient" and "kids will be fine" when they closed schools for more than a full year.

Wait wait wait, are you sure it's not the other way around? That those things don't get those names because they're played up? Monkeypox, flesh-eating bacteria, mad cow disease all have boring scientific names but these are the names the media uses to play them up!
You might be happy to learn about CEPI [0][1], the "Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations". They have the goal to ship vaccines 100 days [2] after outbreak of a pandemic by doing a lot of the research and testing in advance. They plan to create "templates" for vaccines for two dozen different viruses that pose a risk of causing a pandemic and test these in advance for safety and dosage, so that they only need to be slightly tweaked for an actual pandemic.

Crazy Rocketman: Full-throttle desert run
> said Docker image managed to wedge itself into an inoperable mess

Can you elaborate on the issue you encountered?

Most issues I've seen in the wild related to docker deployments is due to not specifying a version tag on the docker image, which means docker will pull the image with the `latest` tag. Fast forward a few years, when you need to restart the container, and for some reason you pull the `latest` image again (either accidentally or automatically by your container system), the new version is now too far ahead from your previous system and break spectacularly when run with your existing data. Some apps even attempt to migrate the data, but failed and leave the data in corrupted state so you can't go back to the previous version.
Vaccine does not need to be re-approved. If it is approved it stays like that, if nothing happens, but it's not approved for monkey-pox.

The smallpox vaccine is still administered (but not mandatory anymore) and that report is from 2015, it's about side effect from vaccines.

Side Effects = administered

And why is that if it is "eradicated"?

Getting from virus discovery to even a moderately-effective vaccine in 100 days would indeed be a great achievement.

That said, the current Covid surge data even across countries with 90%+ vaccination rates with 2- or even 3-dose regimes, do spread some considerable doubt about whether such a vaccine would be "pandemic-busting"
