Is there really a point to hello world programs? For most languages it consists of basically just typing out the string "hello world".
Yes, in the context of battery degradation, not that the battery doesn't work at all, or battery failure.
The parents were asked about long term overall life satisfaction of course. This is obvious. Humans can rate their overall happiness even when their current situation is temporarily not that great.
Does an employer have the right to put someone's life at risk on purpose? If so, is the employer going to be on the hook when an accident does happen?

It's one thing to risk your own life by not using safety gear.

Its another level of reckless to not provide safety gear to your employees

To forbid someone else from using their own safety gear is a level of asine behaviour that trully terrible.

But these guys top even that- they don't just dicourage employees from wearing helmets through hush-hush, hint hint, they boast about it in a public press release.

It's not your life to risk, that person is not a serf, and if I wants to wear a bulletproof vest everywhere I goes that's not the employer's concern. If ee allow this to stand, it sets a terrible precedent.

pandoc --from markdown --to html --mathjax

i.e., using pandoc Markdown[1] with MathJax enabled, and it has none of the problems described in the article (see output[2]). The problem doesn't seem to be due to MathJax, and even using GitHub Flavored Markdown as the input format to pandoc produces the correct results.

Very common now. There has been a huge shift in the last decade.
> It's not the polystyrene which cracks, but the plastic shell holding it in place. The separation will happen after the compression force is removed, because the compression will keep the split parts close together. Meaning that the helmet falls apart after it's done the job.

Nope. As a cyclist, I've seen numerous people in social media groups, friends, etc post pictures of their helmets that "saved their lives." Every single time, it's cracked to pieces, with no visible denting to the polystyrene foam.

Deformation of that foam is how a helmet absorbs impact force, and cracking apart is a failure of the helmet.

Bike helmets in the US are required to pass one test - a weight being dropped directly on top of the helmet that simulates a detached adult male head falling onto the ground from about the height of an average adult male. The test makes absolutely no sense, because the whole thing is a sham.
There is the point of correct close combat training. Shooting in an enclosed proximity is vastly different. For instance you don't want the gun to blind, deafen or grabbed and used against you. That can be alleviated with the right training and choices.

You need more information beyond that to assess -- e.g. are people living in remote areas or next to a police officer?
Do you have any evidence that the Cantillon effect plays any significant role?

I hasten to add that BTC currently experiences money supply growth of 1.7% p.a. (though of course BTC inflation has approached 100% in the last half year).
BlackRock absolutely votes. The concern is arguably the _opposite_: in the index model ownership is concentrated in a few large institutions with very broad diversification, which creates some odd incentives.

Matt Levine has a bunch of articles touching on this topic.
My HOA defines the acceptable types of trees, plants, and shrubs that can be planted. I don’t know if vegetables are restricted, but you cannot plant anything you want.

This is common in colorado.
It's better to read less and understand every bit of it than to read more and understand nothing.

99% of the "saves" that you've gathered are probably not touched for months, or years, or most possibly will never be touched. Drop them at once.

Focus on the 1% that matter. Break that 1% into smaller chunks that you CAN read and understand. Once done, move them to your "archives".

Divide, prioritize, and conquer. Don't fall for the trap set by the "marketing gurus" telling you to read 30+ books a year or read 10+ articles a day. You are never going to be able to benefit from all of that anyway.

That sort of thinking directly brought about WW1 as well as the Cuban missile crisis.

If everyone was armed then society's short-fused lunatics are the ones most likely to misjudge a situation and start shooting first over something trivial.

You're not talking about the same "economics". Quantitative analysis, as the person wrote, is pretty good at predicting things.
> No, it's not. That's why some manufacturers offer much longer warranties than others despite having similar reliability numbers. Warranty terms are driven by the business and encompass a lot more than mean time to first failure.

What's an example of this controlled for the price of the car?

> If warranties were a good approximation of how long things last without repair, why would that only apply in the car world?

Warranties are a good approximation in the context of cars. Virtually all other consumer devices have a 1 year warranty so it's not really a distinguishing feature.

In any case, warranty aside the reason I even brought it up is because many manufacturers warranties imply potential for up to 30% degradation after about 8 years which is why I used the numbers I used (https://www.recurrentauto.com/research/how-long-do-ev-batter...)
> I'm not convinced that cycling is especially dangerous and my experience is that I've inevitably put my hands out when falling, so I think that gloves should be the first part of PPE recommended for cyclists.

Around 15 years ago I fractured my right arm doing the same. There were no scratches on my hands--I used my right hand to stop the fall primarily and the force was just too much. However, if I had hit my head, which was not unlikely in that particular fall, a fractured skull would have been much worse.
You have an incredibly narrow minded and immature view of freedom.

Some people _like_ living in neighborhoods with these bylaws/HOAs. You are fully made aware of the bylaws before you purchase the property and you can decide for yourself whether or not it works for you.

I live in the US and in my immediate area there are neighborhoods without these bylaws, some with, and there is even agricultural use land mixed in. So if you don't like the places with the bylaws there are many other options. In the US you have the freedom to choose among many different ways of life.

Freedom isn't about being able to do whatever you want, wherever you want, at anyone's expense. It is about being able to find and construct a life that makes you and those around you happy. The _only_ way to do that is to not have one over-bearing set of rules (even if the rule is there are no rules), but to allow people to voluntarily set up their own systems of rules in their own communities.
>What happens when your spouse gets a sudden offer to relocate and you can’t make your money back on the house?

Ironically, in some areas around me properties without HOAs are priced and selling a couple of 100ks higher than ones within HOAs.
I feel old. I did five searches on languages and none of them exists in the list.
Oof. Most bicycle accidents I was in were not caused by me, and you can only reduce the risk so much by defensive cycling.

Bicycle helmets are the kind of thing that you don't need 99,9% of the time, but you will die (or be reduced to a vegetable) if you don't have it in the few cases you do need it. While they should not be mandated, they also should not be banned, IMO.

Reads a bit like "We don't want our car drivers to use airbags, as the vehicles are heavy and dangerous and as such we require them to feel confident without such a safety device, so they don't drive recklessly", IMO.

When I bought my first house, I purposefully avoided any neighborhood with an HOA because of all the internet scare mongering I had heard over the years.

After ten years of one neighbor parking cars on their lawn, another growing more weeds than blades of grass, and another with 8 vehicles parked along the street I was done.

When I bought my second house I specifically wanted an HOA. After another 6 years, I couldn’t be happier. Yes the HOA prevents me from doing a handful of things, things that aren’t really a big deal in the grand scheme of things. While the HOA keeps the entire neighborhood looking nice and slaps people on the wrist when they need it.
Suppose it's the 1960s, and you want to buy something to eat. Your choices are "Go home and make food." and "Go to a smoke-filled restaurant and buy food." The choice of "Go to a non-smoking restaurant and buy food." doesn't exist in that environment, because there are no such restaurants. It would be silly to state that this is a free choice indicating a preference for smoke-filled restaurants, because there is no alternative that maintains the option of going to a restaurant.

Depending on the location, the only houses available may have mandatory HOA membership. If the choice is "Join an HOA or add 30 minutes to your commute.", that isn't a free choice. If the choice is "Join an HOA or find a job in another city.", that isn't a free choice. Depending on the area, mandated HOA membership may be the de facto law of the land, even if it isn't the de jure law of the land.

Choices must always be compared to their alternative, and using a non-existent Hobbesian state of nature as the alternative is overly simplistic.
Underground construction is really hard to do correctly. Partial earth bermed foundations as you mentioned are a good compromise, especially if the earth is built up. But even then, drainage and soil pressure are big engineering concerns.

Also you have no control over how much thermal interface you have. My office is on the first floor on a slab. It's great in the summer and freezing in the winter, despite a carpet.

Digging down becomes increasingly expensive vs equivalent volume building up.

Why not just use ground source heat pumps? It's much easier to bury some tubes than habitable spaces. It's easier to move heat/cold where you need it. You aren't forced into a fixed thermal flux.
so we can speculate far enough to imagine this person into existence, but no further

> Personally, I now save myself a lot of time by not trying to explain to people why they are wrong.

This is 100% it. Most people don't have the cognitive capacity to understand anything that differs meaningfully from the status quo. It's just not productive to pretend they do. It's no different from talking to a young child and insisting that they understand everything at the level adults do.
I thought this was always true?
Yep! Pretty popular in late 90s to mid 2000s from what I remember?
Ah, this is interesting. I thought we had a somewhat clearer distinction in my country since we call "věznice" ("prison", presumably) the facility where you serve your sentence, and we call "vazební věznice" (literally "detention prison", I guess?) the facility where you're detained before your sentence and while your court case is pending. This would seem to indicate that these are separate facilities. But then I went to check the list of "detention prisons" (there's like nine of them or so) and it turned out that there's a wing for sentenced prisoners in pretty much all of them. So in fact our "detention prisons" would seem to be like US jails in function (with the exception that drunk people don't end up in jail -- they're taken to "záchytka" instead: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drunk_tank#Czech_Republic).

Having said that, the operating term is still "věznice" here; there's no word with different etymology for it. Colloquially, it's called "vězení" -- we have a form of limited diglossia in my country where you commonly wouldn't use formal names of things in normal speech without sounding weird, so some phrases are somewhat different in speech than they often are in writing. And additionally, while you would say "byl jsem ve vězení" ("I was in prison") after serving a sentence, if you were detained before sentencing, you'd say "byl jsem ve vazbě" ("I was in pre-trial detention"), NOT anything like "Byl jsem ve vazebním vězení" ("I was in jail"). So we don't really have this distinction you could make between "people who did unambiguously bad things" and "people who did some light infractions". Basically you have no way to make it sound like what you did was no big deal -- everyone convicted is a prisoner and that's it (if institutionalized, that is; not after a suspended sentence, fine, or community service of course). But in American English, you apparently do. Interesting.
I'm training a new hire in C++ at the moment. I always go to compiler explorer when I break out a new concept for him. We can workshop the problem in isolation quickly and simply and then bookmark the solution for him to use as reference later.

Is Pedal me going to pay if a cyclist is gravely injured without his own fault because he did not wear a helmet?

Risk compensation ( the reason they give for the decision ) is incredible hard to measure, since it involves causality. We suck at detecting causality in observational data. Basing a decision on ( most likely ) bad statistics is madness.

Japan is the common counterexample. It is entirely possible the stock market will stagnate in the future as the era of American economic hegemony comes to an end.

I received two letters recently from my HOA:

1. Trash can was outside more than 24 hours after trash pickup. Do it again and you’ll be fined.

2. Outdoor Christmas lights in a tree more than 30 days after Christmas. Remove within 10 days or get fined. Those lights have been there for years from the previous owners. I never turn them on and just ignore them. Well, they are gone now.
There was one of these basement houses in my neighborhood (mostly built in the 40s) until a few months ago when it was flipped and they built a top floor on it making it look like a completely different (and unremarkable) house.
Every grid needs a stable source of electricity. Wind and Solars are not stable sources of electricity.

If its not windy -> turbines are useless. If its cloudy -> solars are almost useless.

Nuclear Plant on the other hand produces stable amount of electricity everyday.

And molten salt reactors are resistant to human stupidity. Its literally impossible to cause a disaster with this type of reactors. Its physically not possible to do anything that will cause the core to meltdown.
You could try adding an elaborate backstory and run it as a cult.

Traditionally, violence was also useful to get people to work for free. If you’re really good, the first round of violence makes the mere threat of it effective for subsequent rounds / business projects.

Maybe say you’re hiring and make the work an “example project”. If it’s too much for a single applicant (more than a week), have a “operations management” applicant divide it into suitable sub-packages.

Child labor is illegal almost everywhere, so the only way they can be made to work is without pay.

Interns are great not just in the Oval Office.
It's not nobody, but I think it's a lot less than 1% of people that are going to need to send a meaningful amount of money to places like that.

Obviously providing some service to even .01% of people or whatever is valuable. But at this point Bitcoin is valued like Google which is used by tens of percents of all people.

There's a web version at my.sketchup.com. It lacks some of the features of the desktop software, but works well enough. I drew up the interior of my home to aid in renovations.

I also use it for modeling 3D prints when I don't need the part to be parameterized.
It's indeed pretty simple for TLS over TCP, since the whole ClientHello is part of the first packet and relatively easy parse or seek for. With QUIC it becomes a major pain, since it's not obvious anymore for middleboxes which QUIC packet is the first in a connection, and since Crypto data can be fragmented and reordered (Chrome is doing that by purpose even inside single packets). Therefore hardware inspection would require a pretty full-featured QUIC protocol parser and understanding.
> it was purely a money-printing scheme to allow the elites to cash out

What did the elites cash out to?
I can wholeheartedly vouch for Grav. It’s absurdly fast, easy to deploy and even easier to template for thanks to Twig.
When I was still freelancing and a project was beyond the scope of htmlcssjs, Grav CMS became my tool of choice. Their admin plug-in makes for a easy to use backend GUI and it’s configurable enough to have non-techies use it without losing sleep.

One of the newer features are the so called FlexObjects. It’s an absolutely great idea for a CMS but explaining the possibilities and technical intricacies seems moot as the documentation and Discord community are a better place to start learning. [1]

Websites built with Grav compare to SSG speeds while maintaining a different ease of use and much less time invest to roll out.

And sticking to the topic: being completely flat-file centric, those websites are a breeze to maintain and according to my albeit limited experience also a bit sturdier security wise.

An open source, downloadable and fine-tunable github copilot openai codex model that I can use locally and offline, if I wanted to.

So far I can't rely on copilot because at any time for any reason they can cut off access or change the functionality. Also, the waitlist.

A requirement of the GPL is that they are supposed to release the model but so far I have been unable to find it. There's some kind of "debate" about this but the GPL is absolutely clear in this regard. I'm confused.

copilot is awesome for (lazy) senior devs who want the no-code experience, meaning not having to look up easily forgettable things. How many times have you've forgotten RegEx or how to check for a file exists in bash? Simple put "#Check if file 'filename.txt' exists if not error" and it will complete the bash line. Convert dates in javascript without going to the mdn docs, etc.

I've been using Pydroid3, which then allows you to use tkinter as well. It has proven to be quite handy for "on the go" computing with mini-apps for doing things like product price/size comparisons, etc.

I've never tried it from the terminal (I use the same one) so maybe you can already do that as well.

The python REPL is really good as a calculator. If you give yourself a few functions like %off and %of then you have a nice shopping calculator, too.

There are so many grocery delivery or pick-up options these days (depends on where you live), I find it surprising people don't prefer those. For most people, I would expect that shopping is somewhat of a boring and tiresome chore.

Big box stores are different. I guess the prices on Amazon are now significantly higher and delivery is taking longer these days, to make the trip to a trip to a Walmart or Target. Still I don't understand how some people's eyes light up as they push around shopping carts.

It just shows me how much I don't understand other people's lives. And a reason to be even more polite when interacting with strangers.
Maybe we shouldn't try to control people, including what they think, in such an authoritarian manner.
By redistribution of wealth that was gained from theft and exploitation.

I'm an immigrant too, and I am definitely benefitting. Not as much as some, but it would be closing my eyes to ignore how I benefit from past and present imperialism.
I generally shop once a week using a cart, and then only do small trips in between using a basket if I forgot something. I would definitely buy MORE if I only did daily shopping with a basket, because I would be exposed to the risk of impulse buying 5-7 times as much, simply because I would be walking the aisles more often.
I think there's really only value as a first step for compiled languages so you can actually see a result.
