Reading about this problem makes me sick. Scams are harmful far beyond their direct consequences. They tear at the fabric of a society. If we’re always wary of a scam we have to spend so much time and effort defending ourselves in all of our actions. The paranoia is a tax on everyone.

It’s also sad how many people are willing to participate directly in these scams. The person calling and pretending to be “Miss Barbara” was not committing some targeted crime of passion. She was going to work every day and calmly stealing from trusting strangers. Someone who can do that day in and day out is seriously sick.
I think this is more of the disclaimer that they are not responsible to any damage to your production systems if you do not use their support. That's why the wording is "are not intended for..." and not "you are prohibited from..."

A spermatozoon is a stage of being human… so is an “egg cell” but nobody is forcing people to allow them all to develop into humans! And no… the nazi example has nothing to do with it (and I say it as a person whom all grandparents got sent to concentration camps by nazis)
The standard $100 "Harbor Freight" drill press (everyone has one at about that price, mine says "WEN" on it) appears to be a better deal. I find myself using it as a milling tool / static spindle more often than a drill.

When plumb is a concern and it wont fit on the drill press; I've made guide blocks by drilling holes through scrap wood and using a longer drill bit. Dont think I see a benefit from the drill stand over that.

From banking law about 10 years back now, I would expect that the bank would be on the hook for Deborah's transfers in the first story. Deborah didn't in fact authorize the transfers, and it's the banks systems that failed in detecting that. Banks are heavily regulated around these things, especially debit cards (although perhaps wires are different), and I would have taken that case if I were a plaintiff's lawyer. Seems to me the bank will settle with her for a decent chunk of that money. (As opposed to where the CEO/COO gets tricked and does in fact intend to authorize a wire to someone who turns out to be a fraudster.)

When did this happen? When I was in Munich a few years back there were poster ads for cigarettes everywhere. I remember them being not very subtle about their “smoking is cool” message.
How does reading & commenting on HN fit into that digitial detox?

Genuinely curious.
You should stop bringing rape or incest on this subject, it’s not useful to the cause.

Abortion should be a a right regardless of the reasons. It’s not more of a right because the woman was raped. In both cases, they don’t want a thing growing in their uterus, no matter their reasons.

The real problem is, in my opinion: should we force a human to maintain another human against their will? What if we could extract the fetus and grow it in vitro instead of aborting it? In the same vein, does a parent legally have to be an organ donor for their child?

These are questions we can answer and debate on even if we disagree on whether a fetus is alive or not.
It is information about accessing a medical procedure. It isnt as if millions of women are suddenly going to realize that abortions exist and rush out to get them who otherwise would not. It just might make things a little simpler for those who were already looking for the proceedure. Women dont make such life choices according to convenience.
I don't believe it matters if the fetus is a person or not.

Should any random person A be forced to lose their bodily autonomy to keep random person B alive?

I think no. I shouldn't have to give you my kidney. Even if I can have it back in 9 months.
The fact anti-depressants have such serious potential side-effects should mean anyone considering them is at least hopefully fully informed and has exhausted other options.

Not entirely. Since the fleet isn't atomically updated to the next version you have to be careful about multiple versions being compatible with each other.

I agree with you? What's your point?
This is the correct answer. Putting all integration changes in a single PR improves CI test coverage and is easier to verify in a code review.
Aside from me disagreeing with this article here in that I don't think "all of julia is incorrect" is a valid take from Yuri's original article, I'm not sure how you arrive at "if branches don't do what I think they do" from that sentence. Are you referring to one (already fixed) bug[0]?

I think you must be misremembering. There were several issues linked in his post that were bugs in the core language itself.

I can find you several more, if you want. In the last 2 years I've myself filed something like 6 or 7 correctness bugs in Julia itself (not libraries), and hit at least 2 dozen, whereas I've never found a correctness bug in Python despite using it daily for 5 years.

Right now, you can go to the CodeCov of Julia and find entire functions that are simply not tested. Many of those, and they are in plain sight. And it would take less than an hour to find a dozen correctness bugs that are filed, known about, agreed to be a bug, tractable, yet still not put on the milestone for the next Julia release, which means the next Julia release will knowingly include these bugs.

I just don't know how people can see these facts and still claim Julia cares a lot about correctness. It's just not true.

If you want something actionable, here are three suggestions:

1) Do not release Julia 1.9 until codecov is at 100% (minus OS-specific branches etc.)

2) Solicit a list of tractable correctness bugs from the community and put all the ones that are agreed to be bugs and that are solvable on the 1.9 milestone.

3) Thoroughly document the interface of every exported abstract type, the print/show/display system, and other prominent interfaces, do not release 1.9 before this is done.

Edit: I apologize for implying you were not being genuine. That was uncalled for.
I don't think there are sensible defaults because of the lack of context.

Small team: notion

Big team: notion

Huge team: notion

FYI: I love and use notion.

But scale affects tools. Employee knowledge affects viable tech stack. It is all truly dependent on context. The thing about being a CTO/CPO etc is that you are the one that has to weigh the trade-offs and make sensible "defaults" based upon your context.
24m is the total sales of FFXIV. 15m for WoW was the last published concurrent subscribers in ~2014. These are not comparable numbers.

The current estimates are about 1.7m for FFXIV [1] and 1.2m for WoW [2] (+another 500k[3] if you include WoW classic, but there's some overlap between retail and classic). Since neither company releases subscriber counts that's our best guess.

It's clear FFXIV was ahead of WoW while FFXIV was undergoing it's endwalker pre-launch hype and did well to retain those players post-launch compared to prior expansions, while at the same time WoW was undergoing it's peak period of shadowlands discontent. But as WoW gets into dragonflight hype mode and FFXIV is between patches, it looks like WoW has drawn back even for a while.

> abortion is obviously murder and immoral

No, it’s not « obvious ». Many disagree on that, that’s kind of the whole point of the current debate.
Ads for cigarettes have been banned in Europe for a long time, thats why there is zero tobacco in Formula 1. In Denmark its now illegal to show the tobacco in the store, it has to be hidden
Which makes it ironic that planes can get a higher throughput than trains. Despite thier higher speeds, planes can be landed as close as one minute appart. High-speed trains must often stay several minutes appart. Thats the advantage of having access to two/three dimensions of movement over a train's one.
What proof do they have that it was copied, other than "it looks similar to ours?" Multiple discovery happens all the time, and the patent process - for better or worse - is an effort for an inventor to officially put their "I made this" stamp on.

I don't see how it addresses the original complaint. Vishnevsky basically stated that if you are trying to run a scientific experiment on a supercomputer, maybe it's a risky idea to use a new programming language with a new stdlib and a bunch of OSS libraries vs using an old language like C with very stable set of existing code because new things tend to have unknown bugs? Vishnevsky has a point, but unless you are running some critical computations on supercomputers, maybe it doesn't apply to you?

To be clear, in supercomputing environments people still use old versions of CentOS just to make sure that library version updates do not change their computation results. I don't think many people here would say "I am sticking to Ubuntu 16.04 because I am afraid that the updates to some library like gmplib will slightly change my computation results in a way that is hard for me to detect".

Also, just staying with the old doesn't mean it's correct. You can also introduce bugs to your libs. I think NASA thought this through long time ago and solved it by making sure critical parts of the code are implemented twice using different stacks with different programmers.

If you are NASA, CERN, LLNL, or a bank, maybe it's a good idea to implement your computations once in Python and once in Julia (by at least two different programmers) and compare the outputs. And I don't think in this situation Julia is any different from other languages (other than you may put too much trust into it and skip this dual implementation). Case in point: https://github.com/scipy/scipy/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclos...
Where did the long tail go?
Tobacco ads are generally banned on Radio, TV, Print and the Web with some exceptions. Outdoor advertising is still very much allowed, Germany is the only EU country that allows this.

Btw manufacturers (not the merchants though) are still allowed to hand out free cigarettes.
It's really because most mods and tech leaders are the types of people that want to play everything like a video game and have everyone else just watch them play as a spectator...

We praise exec wisdom and foresight a lot, but in reality, the people who come in an sit for years in exec positions when no new innovation happens are just reacting to profit indicators and protecting the company for as long as they serve, while leaving a bunch of headaches for the next guy who comes in.

This is the age of "don't rock the userbase" boat in tech. It's only companies that disrupt the entire social media landscape as we know it that wins next, but given time, they too will screw it all up...

TV ads for cigarettes have been banned in (I think) the 70s, but in the public (eg at bus stops) they're still legal.
Same here. I'd completely forgotten that I'd even set sponsors up. At the time I was just sort of hoping for coffee money now and then. That never happened of course. Most of the stuff I write is a bit too niche. I got the email about $550 on Friday after work and it was a nice way to wrap up the week!
I'd rather phrase it as "well-defined data structures help maintain your app." In another comment, leetrout recommended using named tuples. They define a list of their attributes without saying anything about their types, and this may be a perfect choice for some scenarios.

An embryo I agree cannot survive out of the womb, but what an embryo is, is a stage of human life. It’s still a human. Let’s not start trying to decide who is human enough to live.

In Colorado you can get an abortion up to 9 months. There’s legislation trying to pass abortion allowance up to the moment of birth, and some have been recently successful in passing. Many states in the US allow abortions in 2nd trimester which is where a baby can survive outside the womb in a NICU.

An essay I had written on this

https://alexpetralia.github.io/relationships/2019/02/22/what...

> "In essence, vulnerability engineers good conversation. Vulnerability appeals to our common humanity. In the real world, you and I may differ in every respect imaginable. But in the abstract world - in the world of beliefs and ideas and emotions - there is something fundamental that transcends all human division: divisions of language or race or culture or class. That something is the human condition. It is our primal beliefs in fairness and reason and competition, or emotions of pride and anger and revenge, all of which have been baked into our very existence over millenia of evolution. The common ground is there - with everyone; if you can’t find it, just go deeper."
It's better to accept the risk so you get the integrity check of HTTPS.

The issue this warning is calling out is that someone who controls the certificate could modify the data, but that's just one person, so if we know it's a misconfiguration not fraud, it's better to click "accept the risk", get an integrity check, and ensure the files are not modified between the server and your client.

Look into the NSA's Quantum insert or China's Great Cannon to understand why these integrity checks are important.

In Julia 1.7 and onward, the registry download is a single tarball, and the packages are read directly from it. In the future, it's likely only the diff is going to be downloaded. These things are being improved, but it takes time - it also takes longer time than other languages since Julia have relatively less devpower than e.g. Rust.
En embryo might eventually become a human but is not one yet! You need a decently developer brain at least… being a small agglomeration of cells with human dna doesn’t make you a human! A tumor is an agglomeration of cells with human dna but is not treated as a person!
On general is a gradual process… but like with every fuzzy system it is easy in some case to say if something belongs ta a category or not but when you reach the overlap of categories to becomes harder. Just set the threshold when it is still clear

Yeah I also received the donation, my first thought was "wow, thanks!". After that I'm actually really curious, which of my repositories was responsible?

I guess I have a bunch of repos with lots of stars, but equally very few actual real users. But nothing that seems significantly "special" enough to make me a top user, and nothing that I'd expect github themselves are using, even indirectly.

Weird. But nice.

I've been signed up for sponsors for a year or so, because people keep saying it's a good thing. In all that time I had one guy sponsor me for a few months, then stop. A nice experience, but at the same time I guess you have to be extremely lucky, prolific, or shamefully promoting yourself to actual get enough income to live on.
>a certificate from a company named 3-1 Mobile SRL (Developer ID: 58UP7GFWAA)

Seemingly a company with that name exists (Italy) and it is a start-up that creates/develops "custom" apps for enterprises.

On their home page

https://www.3-1-mobile.it/index.html

it is stated how they do not load their apps to the store(s), they create the application for clients/customers that will do that themselves, possibly under their name.

No idea if things like Apple certificates can be stolen/reused/faked, or if its use means undoubtedly that the app was developed by them.
Perhaps if Congress and media actually addressed voting fraud concerns rather than pretending that our elections magically became perfect now that a Democrat won something, then no one would have shown up.

But as it is, it's unclear who won the election without fraud.
This argument at its core is trying to justify at what stage of development this is considered human enough to protect. I think it’s a similar line of thinking as eugenics.
> Alternatively don't use monorepos

And now you get into the fun situation of having to handle ecosystemic asynchronous updates between your multiple repositories.
Bad motives will find their way.

Punishment is not a sustainable measure, it only fosters more bad motives, and rules used to justify the punishment inform malicious actors on how to not get caught (a.k.a. how to follow the letter but not the spirit).

To address the root cause, work out why bad motives exist (what compels people to violate the spirit in the first place) and eliminate those.
agree, im no where near one myself but as a bald man it helps me know that there are impactful things I could work on vs lamenting what I cant control.
Haha - wow.

So much of communication really is non verbal.
The load times on some core packages were reduced by an order of magnitude this month. For example, RecursiveArrayTools went from 6228.5 ms to 292.7 ms. This was due to the new `@time_imports` in the Julia v1.8-beta helping to isolate load time issues. See https://github.com/SciML/RecursiveArrayTools.jl/pull/217 . And that's just one of many packages which have seen this change just this month. This of course doesn't mean load times have been solved everywhere, but we now have the tooling to identify the root causes and it's actively being worked on from multiple directions.
Status over Money, Money over Status
I got $550 so I think it's split evenly (they state it's shared between 900 folk in the blog post, which I assume is rounded). It's a one off as you say. Even if they do this next year, this event will have prompted a lot of folk to set up sponsors, so we'd all get a smaller cut.

Hackbraten is right. When I talk about dicts, I refer to a specific Python data type. Still, the truth is, I struggle to spell "dictionary." Even now, I copied the word from your comment.

"More than 250 people have been charged with assaulting or impeding law enforcement who were trying to protect the Capitol, including more than 85 accused of using a deadly or dangerous weapon or causing serious bodily injury to an officer. Others have been accused of assaulting members of the media, including one Associated Press photographer, or destroying media equipment."

Doesn’t this negate one of Julia’s main selling points? That it has “solved the two-language problem”. Ironic for them to solve that in the performance domain only to then need a second language to prove correctness.

We need to make adulthood more desirable
Some service dogs are really unique. I watched a program last evening. A young lady has a condition where she can pass out without warning. This caused her to be house-ridden. She got a dog as a pet and it turns out her dog can sense an oncoming episode and she gets a 5 minute warning. She can now rejoin society. Until the dog dies. A clone and some socialized training with the first dog could enable her to continue being outside the house.
That's what advertising is, literally, not in the commercial sense where you blast people on TV etc. to convince them they need your product/service.

In the past it wasn't even allowed to advertise on your website that you do abortions, or have more information on it in your waiting room, so patients had to actively ask if you offer it.
After Citibank ignored many requests to fix a bug that would not allow me to register my phone number for my credit card, I tweeted.

I was immediately contacted by their social media customer support team.

They then phoned me to arrange the change. I told them off for bypassing security, but I was pretty confident it was them and did not give them any private info.

But if you insist on the bank acting securely, your life will be even more of a hassle. Note that in this case they had ignored my normal messages, so if I brushed off this call, most likely I would make no progress at all.
All of that happened before the 6th of January. If anything, reddit was pretty much scrubbed way before Jan 6th so that's a really disingenuous argument
