I think the idea is `sql.NullString` can be used to have a SQL NULL still be an empty string in Go (just avoid checking the `Valid` field, or cast to string -- no check necessary).

It seems like the intent of a string pointer vs. `sql.NullString` is their goal with this type anyways[1]?

In practice I've used a string pointer when I need a nullable value, or enforce `NOT NULL` in the DB if we can't/don't want to handle null values. Use what works for you, and keep the DB and code's expectations in-sync.

But the NFT was actually stolen, she was phished for her seed phrase, and the criminal moved ownership of the nft to their wallet, and then sold that to the person who was interviewed on the podcast.

It’s no different to a thief stealing your bike then selling it to someone else on a street corner. Just because that person is the current owner and thinks they legitimately purchased it doesn’t make it rightfully theirs. In fact it’s even worse because it’s trivial to identify who the rightful owner is in this case, and if you buy an NFT you can look back at exactly who has owned it previously.

Now imagine if this was the deeds to your house on the blockchain.

I get your point, but I see it more like the government can continue to force people to make the currency valuable by requiring payment in rubles. Hence the manipulation.

If you got rid of the government, the value of the currency might still go to zero, while the intrinsic value of the resources could still be worth something paid in another currency.
My Stance on Toxicity About Programming Languages
I can only agree, if we are talking about kids who are already going to do well. For those kids who only went to school because it was socially demanded and part of life, then I could not disagree more. I know a headmaster of multiple schools in a deprived area near where I live, who said his kids will never recover because they've forgotten how to go to school (or never learned, depending on the timing).
Going further, I'd love to have a declarative schema for my database with some kind of hook layer to allow for data transformations between state. Or figure out how to eliminate the need to carry forward hundreds of schema migrations, such as an easier way to squash them periodically.
Rational and nuanced discussion requires all of those items from both sides. The problem is that as such it devolves to a prisoners dilemma, so it is impossible for one to be invested into the mutually beneficial tactic of rational and nuanced discussion without opening oneself to being exploited by someone using game theory.
Well that sounds fucking painful. If you can swing the change there's lots of small private companies you can work at where getting authorization for a few thousand at a time is as easy as asking the CEO in a 5 second conversation (if that). I think I would last about 5 days with that kind of fuckery before self-imploding in anger and rage quitting.

If you work somewhere where a thesis is required to fix a fucking broken fire alarm, I don't know what to say, that just isn't the right environment the thrive in.
That was a lot of hand waving but very little in the way of specifics. It seems to assume it’s conclusion and builds on that.
> How do float32 and float64 satisfy constraints.Ordered?

Well, the simple answer is that constraints.Ordered is a type set which lists them:
https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/exp/constraints#Ordered

The other answer is of course, that float32 and float64 have a < operator, so every type listed in constraints.Ordered does, so you can use the < operator on a type parameter constrained by constraints.Orderded.

The real question you seem to be asking though, is "how does Go support < on float32 and float64 if the IEEE-754 standard says that NaN are not comparable".
I can't comprehensively answer that, because I don't know that standard well enough. But for == the answer is that == is supported on floats and x == y is always false if either is NaN. Empirically, the same seems to be true for NaN <= NaN: https://go.dev/play/p/hB9CnrzpAVq

In any case, Wikipedia claims that IEEE-754 defines in fact an ordering, which is the one Go is going to use use: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_754#Total-ordering_predic...

Counter example is the conscripted Allied armies at the end of WW2. In the last few months, the allies would much rather expend a mass of munitions rather than lose troops, especially front-line infantry, who were very hard to replace.

Type hints are great at helping understand intent. A lot of bugs happen from understanding a code signature but not understanding intent. In a language like Python where types are all loosey goosey it's easy to write subtle bugs by misunderstanding intent.
Spot on. To add to this, the Navy knows those satellite tracks. It's one thing to spot a carrier in port from a days old image. It's another to find it actively evading you in wartime.

And regarding the satellites themselves, also agreed. I really believe that success at sea is going to depend a large part on success in space, and many countries know it.

>Rather, having more students decreases the per-student government expenditure figure, even as the burden on the taxpayer stays the same.

That does not follow unless students cost zero to educate.

As more students enter, it costs more.

>As a percentage of GDP,....

And the US educates a larger portion of their population than most (if not all?) European countries. This is why using % of GDP is misleading, since the countries are paying for a different rate of educated people. The cost per student is more applicable, since as those other countries scale up the number educated will necessarily spend more, since on the margin people don't cost zero to educate.

This is why I pointed out the rates of education are different. Comparing a country spending 1% to educate 2% to one spending 3% to educate 10%, only looking at the 1% and 3%, is missing important information.

Common sense says that getting under shelter during a storm is a good idea.

> That makes them more noisy, not less.

Using only genome-wide significant SNPs reduces the amount of variance explained by the polygenic score, which is what you describe and I agree with. My comment about the concern about "noise" is with respect to a sibling comment ("Polygenic scores are powerful, but they contain very large amounts of noise compared to the true genetic effects.") That is the "noise" that I was addressing. And just as you say, the noise is, essentially, a worthwhile cost to pay since it should not be directional, and so we use various approaches to include thousands or millions of SNPs in these scores.

> Also, neither of your two problems are the problem here

I don't agree. These problems occur very clearly in any mixed-ancestry analyses, and they have to be carefully accounted for or else they induce between-ancestry bias. It's not a function of the phenotype itself (i.e., I'm not making a comment about intelligence); this is true for all polygenic scores.
This article is about graduate student stipends. Tuition does not have a cost for these students, so the stipend only needs to cover living costs (which as the article points out, it frequently does not).

In CS, graduate students often intern over the summer and can make up for some of the difference.

Tuition is paid by the university, typically from a grant.

A question what could one do with large `SU(N)` matrix accelerator is academically interesting. Also, interesting question is whether there are fundamental limits on the size of quantum computer which can be built for which you can't make an answer before have experienced struggle in building one.

Generally, the idea that quantum computing would solve many issues of practical importance is overinflated hype. If it ever gets built with arbitrary scale it would add another attack vector for known cryptographic primitives.

please tell me you are joking. you want to punish people for having kids?

do you think parents are going to give up their children willingly?

what you are suggesting sounds like brave new world. that's a horrible vision.

children growing up without their own parents is only going to make things worse. i do not believe that any form of institution is going to be more capable to raise children than natural parents.

your ideas work under the assumption that these parents are not capable of raising their kids. but that is not true, and that is not the problem.

the problem is that they have to raise their kids and make a living in an environment that is not supportive. pretty much any other country in the world is more supportive than the USA.

the big factor that you are missing is that we don't know if those children will be capable to have families of their own. my prediction is that they won't be because they didn't grow up in a family themselves. so this system will have to continue in perpetuity because the children of these people will also have to be raised in these institutions, and more parents are going to send kids to these institutions than parents from there who will be able to raise kids on their own. it's going to create a cycle that will end in a dystopia.

i was still with you when you said to disincentivize single parenting, but i thought you wanted to support families. you said it yourself: The #1 factor in determining if a kid will have a desired outcome is if they have a mom and a dad present.
what you are suggesting here is quite the opposite. children in institutions is not children with parents.

it smacks of hubris and arrogance. the assumption that normal people should be able to take good care of their kids without help and anyone who isn't is simply incapable and should not have had kids in the first place. that you know better than they do, and they should just submit to your authority.

brave new world indeed.

> Christian people [...] look at the idea of legislating morality as counter to the basis of their religion

Isn't reforming pagan Rome essentially the foundational act of the Christian religion? Christ critiqued the system and was tortured to death for it. Followers of Christ continued to critiqued the system and many more were tortured to death for it. The strength of their conviction in the face of death inspired more followers, as did the evident injustice of the Roman system. Before long, they had enough mindshare to enact reform.

Keeping religion out of politics seems like an American value, not a Christian value.

Er, cheap money and valuations are tied together.

That said, what's really at issue is that funds will focus on their winners. So even if the money is still cheap and the valuations are still OK, the marginal and "come on, you can literally never be a profitable entity" companies are going to be sacrificed.
Yes, seeing those this morning, if even the higher end CPUs all come with at least an anemic framebuffer GPU a server could use the x8 and x8 links intended for a desktop's GPU as IO expansion slots. It looks more palatable as a 'could be pressed into service as a server' segment for both new and hand-it-down builds.
Thanks for replying. I think I would push back a bit on the idea that research generally only commences after a PhD. Maybe in academia, but in industry (engineering at least, I don't know on the CS side), an awful lot of research is done at masters or even bachelors levels.

The people I know who've gone for a PhD later in life were already doing research and generally took the path because the credential opened professional doors (e.g., to become a supervisor or director), not necessarily facilitated greater amounts of research.

To play devil's advocate, you could in theory increase the amount of research by opening avenues for non-traditional PhDs. There will still be those who start a program at 21, plus those starting at 40 who would normally not engage in a program.
I don't think the smart contract explicitly said "there's this arbitrage opportunity available", but it's definitely a fine line.
FYI for Caddy + cloudflare DNS plugin in Docker, you just need to write a Dockerfile like this (see https://hub.docker.com/_/caddy):

FROM caddy:2.5.1-builder AS builder
RUN xcaddy build --with github.com/caddy-dns/cloudflare
FROM caddy:2.5.1
COPY --from=builder /usr/bin/caddy /usr/bin/caddy

This makes a custom build with xcaddy, with the cloudflare plugin added, then copies the build on top of the vanilla Caddy docker image.

Then in your Caddyfile, you configure the DNS plugin with your Cloudflare API key.

example.com {
tls {
dns cloudflare <API-KEY-HERE>
}
reverse_proxy your-app:8080
}

You can use that wildcard cert pattern you linked to if you must use a wildcard cert. You're right we could adjust that example to use reverse_proxy instead of respond, but we try not to make any assumptions about what you're serving in the examples. But we do assume you have at least read the Caddyfile Concepts doc to understand the structure and scope of the different parts of the config.

As far as accepting help goes, there may be others who need it more, but there are a lot of people willing to give. A lot of young professionals right now feel alienated from their work and are looking for ways to support their community.

The default arduino toolchain, which is a g++ wrapper, supports C++, even though the whole system only has only 1 kilobyte of RAM.

The C++ 'new' operator does seem to be supported, so I assume it has some kind of heap allocator - although I imagine that when you've only got 1 kilobyte to play with it gets quickly eaten by the allocators datastructures and C++ vtable pointers, not to mention the impact of fragmentation if you allocate any objects more than a few tens of bytes.
I'm not sure what you're asking. The west is helping Ukraine economically, especially with the delivery of weapons on a scale that they would not be able to normally pay for. The west is also implementing sanctions to hurt Russia economically (there are even some articles coming out that it is affecting daily life in Russia now). And the losses sustained by Russia in the war will take years or even decades to recover from since they can't build or finance equipment as fast as they are losing it (not even getting into the personnel side of things). It's unsustainable.
Aside: Many years ago I had an idea for something, which may or may not be plausible, and even bought a couple of books on invention and patenting, so I could perhaps develop it. I never did. Not my realm. BUT. My thought was:

Could you have inflateable control surfaces on lowish-speed wings and aerodynamic surfaces, such that instead of bending and extending using hard surfaces, areas could instead be inflated or deflated to change the dynamic of the overall lifting surface? frontal edges, top and bottom, some trailing surfaces. Wings could become thicker or thinner, at different points.
