I get why some people like cities. Especially kids who don't want to be tied down, who want to be able to explore who they are, who want to see and be part of something bigger than their hometown. There's plenty of things to love about cities, from the convenience of the nightlife/food culture, to the "pulse" of the city, the feeling that something is always happening at any time of day, the compassionate social compromises residents adopt to accommodate the diversity of backgrounds of people, etc.

But there's a reason the plurality of Americans choose and prefer to live in suburbs. It's deeper than just "outdated 20th century city planning". It's something specific about American culture, community, etc. that resists specific generalizations.
Because Academia. "Lee, Jackson L., Litong Chen, Charles Lam, Chaak Ming Lau, and Tsz-Him Tsui. 2022. PyCantonese: Cantonese Linguistics and NLP in Python. Proceedings of the 13th Language Resources and Evaluation Conference."

That said parsing is not a solved problem in a lot of languages (particularly ones without spaces) and frameworks like spaCy just integrate existing solutions into a common pipeline and datastructures.
This is a side project I created for my own use as a leader of a youth group. It sends out event reminder messages and allows people to reply directly with their RSVP status. I figured it might be useful to other people, so I published it as a Google Calendar add-on.

I've intentionally tried to keep it minimal (do one thing and do it well, hopefully), so it doesn't have a ton of features or polish. I haven't made any money with it (yet), so still trying to gauge whether or not to put more time into it.

There are quite a few apps that help manage teams and schedules for these kinds of things, but I found that a lot of parents - myself included - are reluctant to download apps and sign up for new services, especially when everyone has different preferred apps and they're always changing. Group SMS is also a mess with iMessage vs. Android. So that was kind of the motivation behind this: individual SMS reminders with RSVPs, no app or signup required. Leverage Google Calendar so as to avoid reinventing that wheel.

Feedback is welcome. Thanks!
This isn't the first time it's done this. If I recall it regurgitated the doom source, along with the swearing.
Can't the reverse also be a problem? If you must have definitive proof that climate change directly caused an individual problem, then climate change will never meet that criteria until things are so bad that it is obvious and too late to do anything about it.
As soon as we know any of those truths, we can get started on the actual work of doing something about it.
It happens. My grandfather fell off his roof onto concrete and suffered a bad broken arm. His subsequent prescription and continued use of opiate painkillers exactly coincide with the onset of his dementia, one he didn't recover from even after getting off the drugs.

My grandmother was prescribed Wellbutrin for a few months after my grandfather died. A decade later she suffered a fall and was hospitalized. In the hospital the doctors for whatever reason started giving her Wellbutrin again. She spent the next month subject to intense psychosis, not knowing where she was or who was in the room with her, thinking she was being attacked, thinking there was a party going on in the hallway. We were probably less than a week from institutionalizing her when my aunt noticed the unneeded medicine she was being given. After they stopped giving it to her she was back to normal in less than 48 hours.
Just discuss your results with developers of all the products you benchmark with, prior to publishing.
This would be seriously confounded by both athletes who push their bodies so far that they die young for other reasons, as well as those who incur injuries and don't maintain the increased strength and bone density into old age if they make it long enough.

But yes, clearly if you manage to maintain a level of strength training that is strenuous enough to promote better than baseline bone density and muscle strength, but not so strenuous as to injure yourself beyond what you can heal from, there are going to be benefits and one of them is likely to be not dying because you can't consistently stand up in old age.

There was a USC running back maybe 15 years ago or so whose name I can't remember any more who somehow managed to drop a barbell loaded to 360 lbs on his throat while bench pressing, and survived. The doctors at the time mentioned that an accident like that would have killed almost anybody, but he survived because his neck musculature was so thick. But I nonetheless suspect, if you survey the average lifespan of everyone who ever makes it to the NFL versus everyone else, the NFL players are not going to come out on top.
Is there no system to unit test a rule-set?
> I used to see an ex-NFL running back in the gym sauna. He could barely move most days before 30+ minutes in the heat.

This. Anecdotally, I know a retired NFL Offensive lineman. He is on a full NFL disability pension at 35 years old because of knee and shoulder injuries. Moving anywhere is very difficult for him.
I have to admit this part is hard for me to process. I know on an intellectual level that real life and fantasy are different things.

But it's really hard to hear all day long from every source how terrible men are, and how we need to be gentler creatures.

And then a shocking percentage of women actually do seem to want you to be that animal they decry as soon as you get into the bedroom.
My understanding is that in the typical hip-breaking fall, the fall is the consequence of the bone-breaking, and not the cause.

In other words, osteoporosis causes brittle bones that break at odd times, and that makes you fall. If that's the case, bone-strengthening exercises and diet would be more effective at preventing this catastrophic scenario.

But I'm not a medical doctor.
I can respect intentional and principled design choices, but some of the comments you've made on things like garbage collection, borrow checking, generic programming, compiler optimizations, etc don't come off as such. It would be interesting to read some of the modern design choices that Hare is making, for me most of what I understand about Hare are the things you've chosen not to do. Which is interesting, but not necessarily the most compelling all the time.

I also think two of the principles you laid out - ease of implementation and transparency/explicitness of code are the hottest takes in Hare. I can see why people like or dislike those choices, and it's compelling to think about, but I'm not sure that the explicit choices to add or not add features from PL research reflect those.

For example the paragraph on GC - I think there's a ton of reasons not to use a garbage collector in a language like Hare (for example, you have to write a GC in some language and not the one that is GC'd) but I'm not sure the reasoning you laid out is among them (concurrent and hard-realtime GCs are thing, whether removing the burden of manual memory management is more/less transparent to the intent of a programmer is very debatable).

I'm a parent of a 2.5yo. What I've learned from other parents around me is to make _sure_ both parents maintain their social lives. I strongly encourage my spouse to call a friend and get out the house at least once every couple weeks, and then I do the same.

It's so easy to forget that relationships require maintenance and having them keeps us both sane - especially when things get hard.

Idk if MS is on the safe here. There's a straightforward legal theory for suing, and also parties such as EFF and others with a war chest and the determination to clarify this. Does MS provide indemnification to Copilot customers/users if those are sued by others? My advice would be to stay clear of Copilot.
A sample of the first 25k repositories and their stargazers on GitHub shows that the top 1% have over 600 stars, and the top 0.1% have nearly 5,000 stars. That's a very small sample, however.

Yep, clearly it wasn’t referring to the disaster not the orbiter. Further what’s important for accuracy of the statement was when the SRB’s used in each launch where built or refurbished not when the actual launch occurred.

Thus it turns the quote is completely unambiguous and factually accurate.
Fair question and I don’t have an answer. It makes me wonder how disruptive the earlier approaches to cars and railroads were.
Recently, the Indian government took action against Amway and consequently Indian YouTube is filled with Amway apologists (most likely distributors at the bottom of the pyramid).
That money isn't going to the folks who wrote the code to begin with though. I think that's where "it should be free" has merit, GitHub is making money on the backs of others.
> - Biden inviting everyone except Tesla to the White House and congratulating them on “leading the way” wrt. EVs

I'm no Musk fan (though I am a Tesla owner), but I always thought this was ridiculous.

If ANY company should be given credit for leading the way on EVs, it's Tesla. Other manufacturers started making EVs, but until recently, the buying process was awful. There were a lot of stories of people going to dealerships and trying to buy an EV and the salespeople would steer them towards an ICE. They don't want to sell you an EV because their maintenance department doesn't profit as much off of them.
This has probably been talked about but...

If most code is "bad" code (any definition works) and this AI was trained on all/most code on GitHub, does that mean that this AI mostly helps to produces bad code?
Hello friend ^_^

By "Bernaysian" I mean much of what is discussed in that documentary by Adam Curtis. The out-sized notion of self in pursuit of the baubles, bangles, and beads of a glorified pageant of passion and love.

When two such highly-conditioned specimens meet, they probably will reject each other. Or if not, they will test each other's endurance in the illusion.
Yeah it's just practicality for me. There is software I pay a lot more for that I use a lot less.

$100/year is a steal for the amount of tedious code copilot helps me with on a daily basis.
It depends if there's some confounding factor that wasn't accounted for.

Perhaps 50 years of dance/yoga/gymnastics/core strength/martial arts leads to both fewer falls and greater 1-leg stance duration. A much shorter course of balance training much later in life might be insufficient to replicate the same benefits.
Again, you are arguing that people's opinions on the totality of things have anything to do with the specific issue mentioned. That's a very flawed generalization to make, as the things we are talking about have many facets and most people are not thinking about this niche one.
To say the quiet part out loud: your body's center of mass is located near your belly button. [0] You maintain balance through a combination of your vision, vestibular system, and proprioception [1]—focusing attention on your belly button keys into that last method and reinforces your overall sense of balance.

Hope though, when AI is becoming increasingly useful and seamlessly integrated, they not gonna take an arm and leg for it. It's just gonna be way too good to pass, people won't really have a choice but pay.
I've never heard that Tai Chi could bea substitute for sleeping, is that what you're getting at?

Slow down (less interval training), spin more, adjust the bike.

Once upon a time I helped fit people for bicycles. The rule for Chen and bicycles is that there is a little bump of bone below the knee cap, it’s where the tibia flares out and I think a tendon attachment. That should always stay behind the ball of your foot. And your knee should be 95% straight at the bottom of the stroke. Not quite straight, but if you flex your ankle you can just hit fully locked. This engages the lowest bulb of the quad which also helps avoid injury.

The problem with cyclists is the tendency to lean foreword when they walk, which exacerbates the knee over ball problem. You need to lean back a bit, relax the hips. As an experiment, try walking without locking your knees. Also keep your feet farther apart, like there’s a board on the ground, though that help more with fallen arches, and will make some hip muscles sore while they become less atrophied.

And if your knees are sore after a workout, that is cartilage inflammation and you need ice and ibuprofen and think hard about how not to do that next time, because you are doing damage. For me where the tai chi helped here is that by shifting my weight back I’m using cartilage around the injury more, which is still fairly healthy.

How? I was in beta but looks like I'm kicked out. I also verified my student status but get prompted to pay. Are you a maintainer? Have you verified that you have access?
in either case, disuse is probably the proximal cause of the hip break. the final straw is nearly always an acute trauma whether a fall or a misstep putting awkward strains on the hip (as might happen in the break-then-fall case). elderly folks who exercise regularly tend to break bones less.
Sure, but if at some point you actually need to know what the symbols mean at least the symbols will still be discernible and will have something to look up.
There's a major confounding factor for NFL players in that they get repeatedly hit by large, athletic people (running backs especially, but even a kicker gets hit more than a typical bodybuilder).

I doubt it's the exercise that causes most of their health issues.
The main tools I use are histograms, confidence and prediction intervals, and Welch's t-test. You should be able to find these in any statistics textbook, or Wikipedia if you're adventurous.
I started setting that up and totally forgot, maybe I should actually try and peer with someone.
Link? I couldn't find anything "significantly newer" than 7/2/21 (though I'm sure GitHub is doing a lot here). They had this blog post 6/30/21 regarding efforts on avoiding raw code: https://github.blog/2021-06-30-github-copilot-research-recit.... They concluded:

My impression is the decline of old age is somewhat inevitable without interventions like HRT. Especially for women who after menopause will inevitably develop some form of osteoporosis AIUI.

But before reaching that point you can obviously improve bone density/strength/balance/athleticism in general to raise how high your peak is where you'll start declining from. In lieu of bad injuries I don't think there are any down sides to pushing these variables upwards while you still can.
She's flown twice since. The first time there was some odd pressure on the way back that freaked her out, the second time no issues. We're fairly frequent flyers. Docs did not recommend against flying. For stroke the general recommendation is that "weird feelings" aren't an underlying indication of anything -- "strokes only take away, not add" (hence why all the actual indicators of an acute stroke are things not working, rather than weird feelings) so to not panic. I would presume if my wife's stroke was caused by an underlying pathology throwing off clots rather than a dissection they would probably recommended compression gear for flying, but it wasn't and they didn't. But I could imagine that given the odd things going on with pressure and air and sitting still, there's a lot of factors that could contraindicate flying with a past TBI.

Hope your partner is doing well. :)

This is very common, which is why I called out the other commenter. Sex is complicated, fantasies even more so. Men are pushed to be less proactive and more reactive, but women are still primarily passive when it comes to working these things out. It certainly is 'safer' for society to not have every guy be proactive, but it creates a lot of mismatches in sexual expectations partners have of one another.

That's not to mention the onus of taking charge is still put onto men, while men are actively punished for making a mistake, and women tend to get off without social repercussions despite continuing to play passive. We're already seeing the cracks forming.

This is just the nature of the tech industry. This board openly celebrates "disruption," "move fast break things," etc. If you work in tech, expect to constantly be updating your skills and learning/adapting to changes.

As a frontend dev, I can tell you that at my last company we started to circumvent/replace the backend team because they insisted on using things like Java for simple CRUD apps. I write TS, so to write a REST API that reads from a DB and serves to a frontend is trivial to set up (including tests, security, etc). A business customer needs a dashboard by next week that combines five different sources of data into something intelligible? - that will take a day or two. Asking the legacy backend team for the same thing (a backend API to serve this data to my frontend) - "we'll put it on our roadmap - six months." And that's not even the worst - they absolutely refuse to create any kind of internal deployment to host our already-built solution. It MUST be in Java and conform to their standards. Of course we're going to change the stack, these teams are blocking meaningful work because they refuse to move faster or use tools which allow us to move faster.

From the story: "Scraping is related to but distinct from “web crawling,” which Google and Archive.org, for example, use to gather the contents of web pages ...

Implicit in the basic idea of scraping is that data is being put into a different form and then turned to different uses from the ones that user or a site’s administrator intends."

I don't know if the author believes Google's efforts don't include scraping by that definition, or if he just didn't further mention Google for some reason.
This article doesn't address the 1998 discovery that the "lost" art was the presence of vanadium in the ores that real damascus blades were made from. The vanadium gave the steel its strength from the 13th to 17th centuries or something like that. It was present in iron ore mined in a particular region, and those mines eventually ran out, after which the "recipes" for damascus steel weren't lost, they simply stopped working and no one knew why. They had no way to tell the difference between iron ore from one place and ore from another.

This is explained in the 1998 Verhoeven, Pendray, and Dauksch (VPD) article]1] that the reddit post cites without touching on this crucial aspect. Or anyway, I thought that VPD's explanation was now generally accepted. This isn't anywhere near my field though.
