I want to preface my comments by saying this is a legitimate inquiry. I am not anti-abortion, I am pro-choice.

> Well firstly, let’s stop spreading misinformation that abortion is inherently risky.

I wasn't, other people are saying that this is what it would lead to , more women choosing these "risky" abortions.

> ectopic pregnancy, high-risk pregnancy, cannot afford to stop psychological medication that hasn’t been approved for pregnancy…

These are all self defense cases in my opinion and so I do not consider it immoral.

> rape victims

I understand this as something that would put the life of the mother at risk because of the trauma involved. So not immoral.

> children, mothers who cannot afford time off because there is minimal maternity leave and they need to provide for their already born kids,

Well this is a problem with society then, yes? Does your suffering give you the right to kill another being (Since we still have not determined when life begins you have to admit this is a possibility.)

> professionals who are building their careers

I feel this is unacceptable. People make decisions that affect their career everyday. Having sex is one of them.

When do you think life begins? I really do not know.

So how late in a pregnancy can someone determine that a fetus is going to interfere with their career?

> trans men with gender dysphoria

Just going to stay away from this one becasue I do not know enough about it.
I won't pretend to know the specifics of the legal decision that will follow from this, but it's easy to guess that when those tools start causing structural unemployment (and that will happen soon enough), there will be a backlash.

Even the most naive takes I see here (it's no different than you reading public code = "the AI should be treated the same as a human") will be forced to re-evaluate their position once they become unemployable because of these AIs.
I agree. In her shoes, I would not have done the same.
I think you could say this about many regions in the world at the moment to be fair. Covid has made a lot of simmering issues escalate all around the world.
But isn't filing a false DMCA takedown in and of itself illegal, beyond any civil damages caused?

Edit: Okay, the filing requires asserting "under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly in-fringed." But I'm not sure whether anyone has ever been prosecuted for perjury for something like this. It's seemingly generally resolved only by suing for damages.
Just like they had no interest in overturning Roe v. Wade?

Strategically it's of course a bad idea to do this, but Republicans might not have much of a choice. They have cultivated abortion as a key issue, it is more useful to them as a bogeyman, but if they have the power I don't see how they would not ban it federally as well.
What made the patient so unwell? I can't access the original paper.

[edit]

A 57-year-old man with chronic mild thrombocytopenia, hypertension, nonischemic cardiomyopathy, and previous mitral valve repair was hospitalized for severe heart failure with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 10%. His care was escalated to include multiple intravenous inotropic agents, and the placement of an intraaortic balloon pump was added on hospital day 11. Despite these measures, he had multiple ventricular arrythmias with arrests leading to resuscitation and began to receive peripheral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) on hospital day 23.

Sad.
I love mercurial’s solution of having phases for commits. Anything you created locally is Draft phase and can be mutated without “force”. Anything which was pulled or pushed is automatically marked as Public and is not easily mutated. Visualizing the commit graph also colors commits based on phase making it really easy to get a grasp of what’s going on.

Is there an extension or something for Git to have similar behavior to this?

I can't tell if you actually think this or you're just lying but they're already doing this [1]:

> Former Vice President Mike Pence said Friday that social conservatives in the post-Roe era “must not rest and must not relent until the sanctity of life is restored to the center of American law in every state in the land.”

and

> Republicans have introduced bills to recognize a right to life from the moment of fertilization, legislation that would prohibit abortion nationwide.

I've used dumps as backups and never experienced this issue, although they would stop prematurely from time to time. The solution was just to check the string at the end and repeat the dump if it wasn't there.
While I disagree with overturning Roe, he makes solid arguments.
Obama only had 6 months (Jul 2009 to Dec 2009) where Democrats had a tenuous 60 votes to get something passed, and he chose to push healthcare reform.

It is reasonable that he (and the other Democrats) not waste valuable limited political resources on abortion, which already was protected, and focus on healthcare reform.
Hi,
My perspective is that, if the pandemic started due to the virus hunting program which was a very international collaboration (US, China, several European, African, Asian, Middle Eastern countries), then it's not really a China-specific thing. It could just be that China is so much further along in their virus discovery and characterization pipeline (as the scientific literature points out) that unfortunately they were the first to leak one of these pandemic level viruses either found in the wild and sent to the lab or created in the lab during the process of characterization.

I don't think that a country should be singled out for punishment for having a lab accident (unless it can be demonstrated that they do not have proper biosafety protocols and accountability mechanisms in place; a case of reckless negligence). But I do think there should be new international agreements and penalties for suppressing information about an emerging outbreak, e.g., transmissibility of the virus, its genomic sequence, number of cases and geographic spread etc., and costing other countries time in preparing to respond to the outbreak.
Not the OP but typically what people mean when they say they don’t use encapsulation is that they don’t use it to hide state, but they will still use accessibility modifiers to limit the scope of an api.

If your state is all largely records or stdlib datastructures that you are passing to functions that only operate on state passed to them, then hidden state is just a complexity without much value.
Git's UI/UX is one of the worst engineering sins to be committed in the last two decades, and this website shows why. Literally nothing about git is intuitive and the "underlying model" is entirely ad-hoc. Instead of celebrating how Linus built git in only a few days he should be castigated for knowingly setting up ill-conceived software to go viral.
I happen to largely agree with your position on that, but do not post comments like this here. Seriously, please do not do it.
You're confounding capabilities with interests. Defending Ukraine (or rather bogging down Russia) has a lot more value to the US than it does European countries who hesitated as long as possible due to their intertwinement with Russia. The world is not as black and white as the propaganda leads you to believe.
AFAIK, dev.to is shadowbanned here on HN.

So your determination of the value of a life is only monetary?

And if so, who determines when the cut off is? If the fetus is still attached to the mother after it leaves the birth canal, I still consider it her body, so is i still her choice?
The devil is in the details. It's easy to find historical accounts of women who very nearly died, or actually died, because the doctors entrusted with their care either took too long to "approve" a medically necessary abortion, or flat out refused. There have been politicians bemoaning that ectopic fetuses have no "rights" and suggesting that they should be implanted into the uterus, which is currently impossible. The law on this topic, and people's behavior regarding it, is not driven by science, as it should be. It's driven by emotional religious blowback.

I'm not a fan of elective abortions, but anything that could potentially put a roadblock in the way of a medically necessary abortion needs to be scrutinized very carefully.

Women will die because of this decision at the end of the day. When that happens, the SCOTUS majority will have blood on their hands.

Four justices are on record as having said they respected Roe v Wade as "settled law", and here they have shown that to be a lie. Why do we just allow these people to lie and get away with it? Any elected or appointed official who lies as part of their duties should be removed from office and blackballed from ever holding such office for the rest of their life.

As well, Justice Thomas indicated that other privacy-based precedent should also be revisited. The Court seems to be trying to undo the whole concept of stare decisis.
It's easy to shut off assholes if you are an even bigger asshole yourself. I shall not point fingers but the the demise of online forums and the meteoric rise of Facebook is a proof. There were certain values that websites in 00-ies had and that were eroded by the likes of Facebook, LinkedIn and yes, even Reddit.

I am still operating an old-style online forum that shrank from tens of thousands of users to a dozen occasional visitors, and I attribute its decline to its core values: anonymity, absence of monetization, minimal moderation.
I use --cached as well but I think I will try switching to --staged since that name makes more sense to me. I similarly have gotten away from checkout in favor of switch/restore.

Uh? That's HUGE!

I don’t think it’s quite as rare as you think. I don’t have sources to back this up at the moment but some common deficiencies include vitamin D, b12, magnesium, zinc, sulphur. Our modern practices have denuded the soil, plants and animals of a lot of their nutrients so nowadays it’s indeed hard to be at good levels of nutrients from diet
I'm curious as to what could have gone wrong. A few weeks ago I upgraded from 9 to 14 using pg_upgrade and had no issue whatsoever.
If you have medical issues for anyone in your family, think a million times before moving to the United States. Unless you have very good health insurance, you’re fucked, financially.

Other things like infrastructure, political polarization etc are very real. But there are also lots of opportunities in tech, salaries are higher than Europe but the work culture is worse - expect to work longer hours than Europe, little paid leave, fire at will etc. These are personal choices and compromises.

If things don’t work out, can you easily move back to Berlin? If yes, maybe it is worth taking a chance and spend a couple of years here and see how it goes?
I think the steps under https://ohshitgit.com/#accidental-commit-master are wrong: it reverts the commit on the new branch -NOT on the master. This is because git branch auto checks out the new branch. You need to do

git branch NEWBRANCH

git checkout master

git revert —hard HEAD^

If you want to continue working on the new branch you do

git checkout NEWBRANCH
> it’s that the developing world is run mostly by criminals that are willing to steal the money and food that charities and governments try to give to people in need.

This is silly. You say that as if the western countries aren't the same and didn't put those people in power...
I've gotten out of sync with the remote where that would still fail and decided to just reclone. I think the reason it happened is git-history purists rewriting and pushing.
This case might be trivial to debug, but when you start adding concurrency a lot of that ease goes out the window. Right now, our tests are mildly flaky because of asan crashes from use after stack frame issues. Reading the code it should be joining all the coroutines on destruction, but yet the asan violations are happening. It really isn't that trivial to debug. Luckily in our case it doesn't affect production since it's only on shutdown (probably...?).
"It didn't work" means that it didn't achieve a desired outcome (good education for all) by its chosen means (racial quotas). Mandatory bussing didn't exist solely for its own sake, but the reasoning of using force to mandate student diversity was and is still dubious in achieving better educational outcomes for students. Forced association does not make a school better equipped to provide a good education for anyone.

One major result is that a number of parents decided to vote with their feet and their dollars. They didn't, as you put it, "take funding away" from other districts. The citizens of the United States are not serfs. They have the freedom to move to and pay property taxes where they see fit. School districts are not owed money simply for existing.

If the courts argued on issues of how states should fund students rather than how many kids of a certain race in are in a certain district, perhaps a more sensible solution could have been reached (although that should not justify egregiously high levels of funding). There were already a number of voluntary bussing programs in a number states, and they were successful, despite the courts claims that they were "insufficient".

In addition, schools are already federally funded in proportion to state population (a major reason for states to push filling out the census). Several states also dedicate money to funding education. Property taxes may supplement federal and state funding for schools, but there's no federal requirement for levied property taxes to go to schools. That's generally a decision left to the local populace and its elected representatives.
In general, I like to do something like this:

Pick a product/ technology you’re familiar with and which has great documentation.

Go to their docs, and pick a page that is on a topic you know well.

Read only the title of the page.

Write the documentation.

When you’re done, compare your results with theirs. What headings did you choose vs theirs? Why do you think they chose the ones they did? How does your document flow vs theirs? How’d they illustrate the concepts vs you?

It’s an informative and fun exercise, at least to me.
But we have all the stuff. Medical care is free to the poor. Housing is free to the poor. Food is free to the poor. School lunch was free to everyone the last few years and continued to be reduced or free to lower income.

The scope and breadth of federal, state and local programs in this country would is mind boggling.

I currently work at a former startup in this area and my wife works with low income families.
> Don't forget Germany recently also hiked their sales tax to 19%(!!!), which is almost double Seattle.

Not sure I would say that 2007 is that recent anymore (when it was increased from 16 to 19 percent ()). Also keep in mind that the EU minimum regular sales rate is 15% and only 4 countries in the EU have a lower sales tax than Germany.
Most are above 20% with the highest being 27%.

Also there is a second reduced sales tax rate for life-essentials (food for instance), which is 7% in Germany.

() Unless you count the half year 2020 where they temporarily reduced it back down to 16%/5%..
This is highly overlooked “The company tried to subpoena Google using the DMCA but the chosen mechanism only allowed Bungie to identify an alleged copyright infringer, not the sender of allegedly abusive DMCA notices.”

We have been the recipient of many invalid notices to Google. Google publishes the details via Lumen but makes it impossible to reasonably analyze the data. 1) They hide the sender info. 2) They make you validate, via email, for EACH DMCA you want to view. In other words, they claim transparency, but practical use isn't possible. They also don’t publish DMCA’s against sites like YouTube.
That's just an argument for moving the actual production to countries where the ratio is still 30:1. Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, etc. Maybe even bits of Africa.
No because they also called Vienna and Madrid ;) Apparently the Vienna Mayor didn't notice a thing and even sent out a tweet afterwards. The other two at least got suspicious when the supposed Klitschko asked them weird questions.
Another useful thing if you need to backdate commits for whatever reason are the GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and the GIT_COMMITTER_DATE environment variables, upon executing git-commit they'll override these fields in the commit to whatever date, time and timezone you specify. I use this sometimes when I'm making some previously private work public, and am redoing the commit history to make more logical sense to others who may read it.

Also useful are git-fast-export and git-fast-import, if you really need to delve into the inner details of a commit. For example, I had three separate but related git repos that I needed to merge, so I created a new repo with separate branches to hold each repo, merged everything manually, committed that to a new branch, then used export/import to edit the commit to have the tips of the three other branches as its ancestors. Maybe there's a better way to do this with other git commands but I found it easier just to delve in and edit the commit data manually.
We cover this quite extensively in our book. I also have a manuscript that will soon be in peer review describing the relationship between SARS-CoV-2 and other known viruses. None of the publicly disclosed viruses could have plausibly been the progenitor of SARS-CoV-2.

However we now know that when news emerged of a novel SARSrCoV with a novel cleavage site causing an outbreak in Wuhan… scientists in Wuhan did not tell us that they were working with 9 of its closest relatives, linked to mysterious pneumonia cases, and that they had been collecting 1,000s of unpublished high-risk samples from animals & humans across 8 countries, with a clear roadmap for synthesizing consensus SARSrCoV genomes and inserting novel cleavage sites into novel SARSrCoVs. Their database meant to inform pandemic prediction & response remains inaccessible.
Git is fast and powerful.

It is considerably more powerful than most teams need.
And "peer reviewed" is a big key here. I don't use RSA because someone certified the protocol's authors, I use it because the details have been so heavily looked into by the whole industry and accepted by virtually everyone.
I pretty much agree with everything here. At the same time however, in the past 10 years official documentation for languages, frameworks, libraries, etc. has got _so_ much better. And while it’s true that googling stuff had become difficult, usually i can find the answer I need on how-to topics just by looking at the official docs.
They are bad. Some concepts like rebase etc. I still don't understand.

In software we often go for further complexity instead of less. I think because most of us who are the lead developers are often the most intelligent. And we often enjoy these complicated abstract models and they come easy to us. However in satisfying our own intellectual vanity we often don't see how many we leave behind. Which is good for our hourly rates, but less good for creating affordable and simple software.

Anyway one of the main practical advantages git had was decentralized repos meaning you were not dependent on an external server which meant git was often much faster if working with in daily tasks compared to centralized versioning systems
I'm still an early career scientist so I do not have a way to contact Bill Gates.
Ah indeed. I was meaning 'untangled' in the looser sense of 'can be spread out over 3D space with most/all connected points reasonably close to each other'.

Seems like this is a topological property, that the 'neighbourhoods' defined by the connections 'tessellate' in some sense.
Surely you need AHK because Windows is less configurable? I want basic window management that's been in KDE for decades, but corporate IT won't let me have AutoHotKey. It's so frustrating having to move windows around all the time rather than them just going where they should. No focus options, no pin-on-top (except in OneNote) ... it's really a massive climb down from Kde/Plasma.

How are you using terminals in Windows? Like you want to SSH from a fresh install, what do I do? (I find Linux superior here, but interested to learn why you're the opposite; maybe I'm doing it wrong)
> The same state rights that allow gun control and homosexuality to be locally legalized

This is the same court that, just a few days ago, also denied New York's right to decide their own gun laws. Devolution might be great in theory if done consistently. What we actually have is a supreme court that will step in when it suits one minority faction and step out likewise, in both cases ignoring sound (often their own earlier selves') legal reasoning. That's not healthy.

You also seem to be ignoring the fact that "leave it to the states" is a bit of a sham when states that want to ban abortion seek to punish those who travel out of state for it. (Much like the way that states with lax gun laws undermine the efforts of neighboring states that have voted and legislated otherwise.) The actual availability of abortion services to women in Texas, for example, is practically zero for many. Like it or not, the US is supposed to be one nation, but "full faith and credit" has - like supreme court decisions - become a one-way street favoring the minority. Wyoming ideology is affecting Colorado much more than vice versa, contrary to what the majority position is across the two, and that's starkly un-democratic.
If this has the ratified, 1.0 V extension, it is going to be awesome.

Much faster (well over 2x) than a Raspberry Pi 4, similarly priced, and RISC-V.
Same. Of all the containerized apps that I run, Postgres is probably the most painful to upgrade. Everyone else (eg Nextcloud) has invested the time to figure out how to auto-trigger an upgrade when starting a container with a new version. Why can't Postgres do the same???
