As the article explains, the mites can no longer produce melanin to support a day-night cycle and instead rely on the melanin the human produces at dusk, which means by the time morning comes they have probably already returned to the pores. So if, for some odd reason, you wanted to reduce the populations of this symbiotic organism then you would want to climb in bed, relax for a few minutes, then hop out and shower.
I have some adjacent experience. Not exactly with that, but I have migrated large C++ build systems, migrated systems to Bazel, etc. I've also written a bunch of Bazel build scripts for various open-source C++ libraries so I can better integrate them into projects that use Bazel.

Bazel is opinionated. The tradeoff here is that if you can make your project match Bazel's opinions, you get a very good experience--but you can have a bad experience if you disagree with Bazel. If you have Bazel experience, you can look at a project and get a quick sense of the distance between how the project is built and how Bazel "wants" to build the project.

The payoff is that once you get your Bazel build system, everything seems a lot more trustworthy. No more "make clean". When you run a Bazel command, it just gives you the correct output, very fast, without worrying about what state your build tree is in. You can make any change to your build scripts and just "bazel build" and get the correct result immediately, as long as you aren't trying to bypass how Bazel works. I never have to do anything like run "make" twice. This is something I've never gotten with systems like Make or CMake, which put more of the onus on individual developers to get things correct.

So I can kind of shut off my brain when using Bazel.

Depending on the particulars of your project, the most straightforward migration path to Bazel will not be obvious. You may need to make certain choices about how much you modify your project to fit Bazel's expectations, versus how much you adapt Bazel to fit your existing project. One example is include paths... do you modify all of your '#include' directives to match how Bazel expects you to write them? Or do you adapt Bazel to do things your way?

The difficulty and payoff is highly variable. My experience has generally been positive, but I also have a lot of familiarity with Bazel. It's easy enough to find an example of a project where I'd just never bother migrating to Bazel, or to find examples of projects (even large ones) where migrating is super easy.
I think you can pretty safely know. People store sensitive information, passwords, keys, etc in private repos aaaall the time. It would be an entirely unnecessary complexity for copilot to try to filter out that sensitive information. It's not like there's a deficiency of public code on GitHub. It wouldn't make any sense to train on private repos.
Why would Rave Club care if the Rave Club membership data doesn't survive past the dissolution of Rave Club?

This seems very much like the argument that, say, Blizzard would build support for NFT-based items into WoW so that people could buy NFTs outside of WoW and transfer them into the game (or buy them inside of WoW and still be able to use them elsewhere even if they quit playing WoW). Sure, it might have some value for the customers, but there's negative incentive for the actual companies to do it.

> I doubt that anything like this happend to Google execs in the US:

It seems plausible; we don't know what gets done under the FISA court but it would presumably involve companies like Google. Some suited agent of the US government turning up at Google HQ and threatening jail time under some FISA warrant if some pro-Trump something doesn't disappear off Google.

That'd be a scandal but not the worst abuse of the secret court system. It hasn't exactly covered itself with glory since inception. They already spy on basically everyone and that is a lot worse than some light censorship.

That's just React, which both has the highest market share and a culture of following the latest fad combined with piecing together applications from multiple tiny modules(because "it's a library not a framework").

Also jQuery becomes slow and unmaintainable very fast, especially considering that modern frameworks do a lot of tricks to increase performance, like detecting a row swap in a list.

Next gen frameworks like Svelte and SolidJS managed to avoid some of that because they compile to a minimal, Vanilla JS app which is easy to read. Especially Svelte at least gives you a decent stack trace.
When I lived in NYC almost every single one of my friends regularly smoked pot and it seemed pretty harmless to me except I’d occasionally have a friend who never really addressed their anxiety because pot was their go-to so that anxiety just got worse and worse. Years later, I joined Al-Anon because my partner was struggling with alcoholism and I was really surprised to see so many people there because a partner or child was addicted to pot and the very real emotional pain and problems they were facing from this. Their loved ones were basically checked out of their life and relationships.
> My original statement was to say that smoking nicotine is the leading cause of preventable death.

See, you've assumed that A implies B means B implies A again. Smoking tobacco is the leading cause of preventable death. Nicotine is in tobacco, but that doesn't mean you can replace "Smoking nicotine" anywhere you see "Smoking tobacco." Hope that clears it up.

I'm sure they have, but not me. It's definitely against my moral code and, as such, is not fun no matter how easy it hard it is.
My problem is that I find TypeScript written by another person entirely unreadable. Python written by another person? Relatively intuitive, even if it's written badly.
Your comment strikes at the core of the matter. Changing your mind is perceived as being spineless, or lacking in some essential moral component. It's unfortunate. Think of the millions who have died needlessly in large and small ways because humans were unable to admit the folly of their ways, even if they could clearly see it.

I stand by my original comment. True bravery is being willing to change your mind about important things.
Even if we fixed those problems, birth rates would still be falling. Why? Even accounting for social changes like the sexual revolution, researchers have found that birth rates would still fall due to decreasing male fertility which is common in any industrialized country even for developing ones now, which is alarming. (Everyone has good theories, but no one knows definitively why it is happening.) The only continent that still has healthy fertility is Africa, and that’s only for central Africa. Even coastal Africa is starting to be affected by this Children of Men phenomena.

I forget when, but in last ~3-5yrs, I've noticed iOS seems to handle this. If you leave a device plugged in for a long period you eventually getting a notification saying it's not gonna charge as much, and it caps the max battery to 80%.

Just wondering if your story is before or after that feature.

Unfortunately, it seems like Tolkien's family is more interesting in the own financials than in keeping the Tolkien universe alive.

For example, The Last Ringbearer [1] is a fan fiction book that plays in a Tolkien universe after the fall of Mordor. IMHO, it's more intriguing than some Tolkien works published by his son, but the family decided to prevent it from being published and distributed in most legislations.

My favorite of one of these was an ML model demo we got was the incredibly insightful analysis: "As customer dissatisfaction increases, customer satisfaction decreases."

I use this for managing products for my very small web store. I scrape my vendors' websites and dump it into rec files.

It is then super easy to version and compare differences. I am typically interested in new products and price changes for existing products so I can see what I want to purchase from my vendors. Having a weekly snapshot of this that I can go back in time through and visualize is really useful.

Being able to quickly edit rec files in emails and run queries on the command line is great.

I suppose if I was dealing with 100k+ products, I'd use a real database, but for the volume I am dealing with, it works really well.

> You also don't need async in many if not most cases, especially if you're writing kernel code.

Have you seen how much communication with the hardware in drivers is actually very asynchronous? It’s all hand rolled C, of course, but there’s a lot of it.

But look at the bright side: people likely won’t be enjoying hand-rolling asynchronous Rust since language-level primitives exist, so maybe there will be enough pressure and enough of use case diversity to make a more solid implementation that doesn’t suck, or sucks way less than the current one.
Won't somebody please think of the oil and car companies!

We've dedicated this year to performance with a storage engine rewrite. We'll have some performance wins coming in the back half of the year. We think we can get under 2X MySQL.

It also requires more disk. Each change is at least on average 4K on disk. So, you might need more/bigger hard drives.

My 2 cents about how Clojure appears in StackOverflow surveys: https://piero.github.io/stories/2022/06/23/the-clojure-parad...

Key points:

- Most respondents are junior-mid developers.

- Clojure was written by an experienced developer (Rich Hickey) and is adopted mostly by experienced developers.

- Clojure is not beginner-friendly, however it is extremely pragmatical.

- The appreciation of pragmatism over perfectionism is an acquired taste, which takes time and experience to develop.

- It is remarkable how the love for Clojure came out despite its user base being so under-represented.
The other thing to remember is that cars can drive around, parking can be in the rear, etc - there's no reason to dedicate the prime real-estate to parking of all things.

And when buildings face the road and are closer to it, it becomes more walkable and rideable. You're more likely to slip into a store if it's up against the sidewalk than if you have to cross an acre of parking to get to it.
Zig's safety is lower than Rust's, that's true, but it is still a very big improvement over C, so a case could be made for it in principle. But of course in practice Zig is not stable enough to consider that yet.

Anyhow, this isn't all or nothing: a case could also be made one way or the other about how much 'unsafe' to allow in Rust in the kernel. It's a question of tradeoffs.

> Christina Caron is a reporter for the Well section at The New York Times, covering mental health and the intersection of culture and health care.

Weird - because I've gone back over years of her articles and she doesn't talk about the biggest issues affecting mental health. It's all fluff. Yet she found the time to do three veiled hit-pieces on cannabis so far this year.

If you ever wondered why the impressionable don't talk about systemic racism, violence, propaganda, exploitation and poverty as being major mental health issues, instead blaming cannabis (a great boon to mental health, overall!), or blaming themselves, it's because writers like this are given such a major platform.
It may well be a well written book, and I will check it out, but it obviously is also written by a guy who is still butt-hurt by the fall of the USSR...
It would, but it generally takes many samples to piece together good evidence for a match. New technology related to reading DNA strands directly could probably make this feasible.
main thing is to invest in clothing that can expel sweat out from your clothing. Getting soaked in sweat is going to make you miserable. Start out with less layers than what you expect and shed layers ( into your backpack) as you are getting warmer.

Also invest in mid to fat tires depending on the snow condition. Don't use road bike.

wear high visibility clothing because of reduced visibility in winter.

don't pivot around obstacles (snow covered potholes) suddenly, try to go over them or safely pivot by looking behind you.
I can't agree here. The examples the author used to describe the various smart automation usescases of needing a camera could easily be achieved with mm-Wave radar sensors[1] which give you the advantages of optical privacy.

Cameras as sensors offer the "benefit" of surveillance for corporations, governments and hackers. I hope his dream doesn't pan out.

Yes. Same way they call their employees "associates". I don't quite understand the rationale, but if I had to guess, "customer" and "employee" are a bit too on the nose, and they wish to cultivate a more human-feeling relationship between the customers, employees, and corporation in the minds of the former two groups.
I think my favorite (the one I saw that led me to find this source) is the invisible squirrel timers in Titan Quest. A nice hack and showed someone who could think outside the box, getting a well-deserved promotion.
The problem is excessive deference by local authorities to incumbent business operators. Often the businesses have no idea how their customers get to their store. They assume everyone drives, but careful observational surveys often disprove this idea. This was shown conclusively in Toronto and Oakland by before/after studies. Governments shouldn't revere the input of local business operators. They should study the evidence and act rationally.
The belief that the opposite is true is so entrenched that business owners in Manhattan vehemently opposed banning cars on 14th St for fear that it would devastate their businesses. Of course, nothing of the sort happened. The cars were banned and nothing happened except that the street got a lot quieter and safer.
I haven't done -10C, but I've done 20F temps. With the proper layers it's not the worst. I find it better than 104F that I'm currently enduring. In cold, it is not uncommon for people to come inside and remove layers. In heat, it's just gross coming inside and sweating like you just climbed out of a pool.
Exactly. Before it must have been close to zero so we would expect a huge increase. Seems underwhelming
It's surprisingly not bad - you don't even need the snow tires you see if the paths are plowed. Try it as it keeps getting colder, wear layers, and see how it goes. You may find that you don't need as much clothes as you thought you did.
> Copilot is completely depending on the legal theory of being effectively exempt from copyright, under fair use doctrine; if that legal theory falls apart, the entire space (and a lot of other machine learning stuff) is utterly doomed.

That's really depends on the country.

For example Japan has a law[0] that's allows usage of any copyrighted materials for machine learning and other data analysis. You can also do it for commercial purposes. There are some limitations (you can't share the dataset itself, but you can share the model), but overall it sounds good.

> I feel that bikes and electric scooters are more dangerous than cars.

How do you get this idea? In a collision with a pedestrian, the person on the scooter/bike will come to harm more likely than the pedestrian. But such collisions do not happen too often, and when they do, they don't go as bad as car crashes.
I live in a German City (Darmstadt) where next to the big roads as well as in the city centre bikes and pedestrians share a lot of place, and it is not a big problem that people keep getting hurt because of this. Most accidents in these places are because bikers had accidents due to bad roads, hidden stairs, car drivers, bad bike lanes, etc. If you ask me, making a city nore bike friendly, also close to pedestrian areas, decreases the chances of bikers getting hurt.
