My view has always been that it does not even matter if the fetus has full rights.

People do not have the right to physically attach themselves to another person, and leach blood, oxygen, nutrients, etc off the other person. Period. Fetuses would not be an exception. This is not a rights balancing issue. A woman has the complete and absolute right to stop another person from parasitically draining her of resources.

I feel that a person who wakes up with another person surgically attached to them by some sort of mad-scientist doctor could have surgery to have the second person removed, even if this means certain death for the second person. I don't view abortion as any different.

I could support a ban on abortion methods that directly kill the fetus, but as long as the method is primarily about severing the connection to the mother and removing it from the body, I see nothing wrong with that, even if removal means certain death for the fetus.

If people feel fetuses have human rights, I could also support laws or medical ethics requiring doctors to attempt to save the fetus after it is expelled (if the condition was such that saving them might be possible) just like they would try to save any other person.
> China is a bad actor and definitely contributed to the conspiracy madness around the virus by being so shut-down and performing such a half-assed investigation

It definitely seems that the default reaction of any authoritaian/police-state environment like mainland China is to clamp down on things and restrict information whether or not it's necessary.

One needs to only look at the many examples of various scandals/disasters that have gone very briefly viral on Chinese language social media before the censors get to them (often within 8-12 hours of the breaking news) before everything gets deleted.

Or with doing what he claims at all. All I can think is that the company hasn't even ironed out how to make self driving cars as safe as they claim and also refuses to take responsibility for harm caused in a public way - how will this be any different when it inevitably hurts someone?
Those aren't mutually exclusive jobs. If you determine that the Constitution does prohibit states from eliminating access to abortion, then you as the court must step in and adjudicate the competing interests between the mother and the unborn child. Balancing competing rights is a huge part of what the courts have always done.

Fundamental rights like life and liberty should not be subject to the whims of political majorities in legislative bodies. This is a fundamental pillar of our system of government. It's a big reason why we have a Constitution in the first place.
No one competent has debated that masks help.
> Many believe, myself included, that women should have the right to control their own bodies, and access to abortions is part of that right.

I won't argue with your belief, but please share your opinion (if you don't mind, of course) on this: whether a homicide of a woman and a homicide of a pregnant woman should receive the same punishment?
> the people advocating for outlawing abortion are also convinced it's a rights issue: the rights of the unborn child. This isn't an open and shut case.

Does the decision at all call out the rights of the unborn child? If so why would it be left up to the states and not outright banned? Why are contraception and gay marriage called out as comprable rights?
"Where in our constitution and laws are these things codified as rights?"

Um, how about Roe v Wade and the TEN times the Supreme Court upheld RvW since it was decided, including as recently as 2016? The court just blew up precedent with a ten ton nuke and you're arguing hey, it was just good jurisprudence!
Elm's developers have been working hard to make better error messages for these cases, and it really pays off even when experienced. Here are Elm's versions for comparison:

> myfun 1 'c' 3

-- TOO MANY ARGS ---------------------------------------------------------- REPL

The `myfun` function expects 2 arguments, but it got 3 instead.

5| myfun 1 'c' 3
^^^^^

Are there any missing commas? Or missing parentheses?

> not (myfun 1)

-- TYPE MISMATCH ---------------------------------------------------------- REPL

The 1st argument to `not` is not what I expect:

5| not (myfun 1)
^^^^^^^

This `myfun` call produces:

a -> Bool

But `not` needs the 1st argument to be:

Bool

Besides being 'beginner friendly', this just takes away cognitive overhead when you can glance at an error message and immediately know what happened.

(Edit: Formatting. Note that in the console output the arrows actually line up with the source of the errors)
Less, but not zero. Personal projects can still suffer from obscure bugs or undocumented behaviour in dependencies, unattainable goals, costs, and other non-bureaucratic frustrations. A significant part of the satisfaction of Factorio for me comes from the knowledge that, if something isn't operating as I expect/hope it to, I can _just look at_ the surface-level representation of the system to diagnose it. This isn't possible in software projects without a huge amount of investment in observability - which is rarely fun or prioritized.

>But at least republicans aren't claiming credit for giving you your "rights".

Can you point to somewhere that Democrats have claimed to "give" rights? Democrats aim to "protect" rights, but the Constitution is where rights are enumerated and/or it is recognized that there are rights that may exist beyond what is enumerated. Further, if you were to read the party platform of the Democratic Party, you would see that protecting and enhancing rights is a fundamental core value.

>Sorry, for not capitolizing Democrat, since you seem to see such great offense in it.

It's "capitalizing" not "capitolizing" and it's not its state as a proper noun I was noting. The party is not "The democrats" or "democrat" it is the "Democratic" party. Sure, it's just words, but if you are going to repeatedly call out a party in a thread for some grievances, it's useful to call them by their actual name.
> Second is advanced image processing with deep learning. There is no need for accurate sky tracker anymore, you just shot many images and software combines.

This is extremely helpful for professional astronomers, but having started astrophotography back in the day with a 35mm Rollei that allowed for arbitrary exposure, the moon, and a very numb index finger, I feel that the one image you produce with care and accuracy trumps the collage on some emotional dimension for me.

The collage is obviously the better image, but the amateur's photograph somehow captures both stars and stargazer.
Following the viewpoint of the parent commenter, you are not choosing to kill the fetus. You are choosing to stop letting the fetus have residence inside your body (your property) and choosing to stop providing it with free nourishment. It's the lack of the fetus's ability to fend for itself that causes it to perish.
I think it may be "Do you leave your EV in the garage after charging it" as opposed to say, moving it 40ft or more away from buildings, trees, and small children lest it suddenly manifest a demon (or just burst into flames, but who knows what really happened with all those fires, eh?)
Which was overturned in Brown by a unanimous decision. Typically the standard for overturning a case is high: either it is recent and clearly wrong, or there is a high level of consensus on the case. This is neither.
More like "bad nonprofit boards are weird", though there's definitely some truth to - great power, low engagement, unclear responsibility, and zero accountability. But a good board and CEO/ED will address all of these.

First and foremost, board members are volunteers. They need to be people who are invested in the organization and its mission, and would be available to help as needed. They're also consultants. The board I'm on has people with expertise in HR, finance, accounting, marketing, medicine (very useful since COVID), economics, education. All of their experience is incredibly valuable in different ways, especially since the non-profit ("medium"-sized at 1.5MM annual revenue) can't really afford those roles.

Engagement and responsibility has been a challenge for us, but we've addressed it by keeping up on best practices, which includes self-evaluation of the board and its members. As a result of that, we've invested in our onboarding process so new board members know what expectations and responsibilities are. We have various committees that focus on certain areas (e.g. finance, governance, fundraising, strategy), where board members meet outside the formal bi-monthlies to engage with staff more directly and help guide and support the organization.

Overall, I've had a great experience being a part of this org. Maybe the board I'm on is just a unicorn...

Neither of those code bases are C++, which significantly dilutes your point. A major benefit of modern C++ is that it is much safer than the language Linux and PostgreSQL are written in.

Personal anecdote regarding weight loss/fitness

In 2 months I dropped 30 lbs, how was by fasting. I would only eat 1 big meal a day, as in drink coffee in the morning, not have a snack (fiber bar) until after 5PM (assuming 9-5 schedule) and then eat around 9PM/few hours before sleep. (means 1200-1500 calories per day vs. 2400+). The figure to keep in mind is a lb of fat is 3500c. Counting calories matters.

The hard thing is sticking to it (obviously) as I rebounded and I gained that weight back already. I sit at a desk/don't really go outside much. You will feel a hunger pang and you will want to eat, but it will pass.

I used to work next to a gym so it was easy to work out, I would just go to the gym after work, at times I would even work out as long as 4 hrs in a row. I was super cut back then, lifting. But the gym is now 5+ miles away from me one way and I used to go there 4-5 days a week. I could drive that but nah... 20 minutes of driving and 1-2 hrs at the gym that's a lot of lost time. Plus I used to go late at night/early morning so I had the entire gym to myself, I didn't have to wait for the squat area or bench, etc...

I'm not doing that anymore, and I'm not really interested in getting body-building sculpted, just toned/visible muscle/low body fat. So I'm doing that at home, got some bands/one of those multi-use pull up bars... but diet is the main thing... if you have low body fat you will look better than with a lot... as in good chin definition, no gut... I have this personal denial going on where I wear baggy clothes/saying "I'm not THAT overweight" but I am by about 40lbs. Film yourself externally to see.

I guess this really only matters if you care about external appearance/say trying to attract someone else, gotta meet them/be on their level.

I am in my later 20's, 6ft weight should be around 210 but I'm at low 260s as of this moment. Was high 230, low 240s in Feb. My problem is I binge eat when I'm bored/watch TV.

Last thing I'll mention, I also include some back stretching/exercise, light to keep the back strong since I sit on a stool all day (office chair but back broke off).
CDC updated its site in Oct 2020 to acknowledge airborne spread. There is still something of an argument in the scientific/medical community about what "airborne" means. A lot of folks lived through https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1976_Philadelphia_Legionnaires... which is scary because if there's just another infected person in the building, they can infect people far away!

and when the initial scientific articles about COVID air spreading (https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/7/20-0764_article) came out, many policy makers were truly terrified of making announcements that would cause worldwide panic.
> Trying to map english to formal logic is a fools errand.

I don't disagree, but this would not be a 1-1 mapping, if that matters.

>From my experience, what keeps non-technical people from writing queries isn't SQL, it's stuff like joins.

I've met very few non-technical folks willing to brave learning any part of SQL. In my case joins would be an implementation detail, mostly handled by the product, but possibly with an escape hatch for technical folks.
In what way would it not be constitutional? Wouldn't a petitioner have to cite the preexisting implied rights or explicit laws violated in order for the case to even have standing?
There was a pretty nifty short story called "Dibs" by Brian Plante in the April 2004 issues of Analog that was sort of along those lines.

Whenever someone would die soon if they did not get an organ transplant the government would check the records to identify all people who would be good donors. Those donors would all receive a notification that someone has dibs on that organ. If one of those donors died while the person with dibs was still alive their organ would be used to save the life of the person with dibs.

When that happened, or when the person with dibs dies before getting a transplant, all the people who had been potential donors were notified that no one had dibs on their organ any more.

Most of the time for most people they would occasionally get notified someone had dibs on some organ of theirs and then in a week or two they'd get a notice that it was resolved and their organ was no longer under dibs.

Rarely, someone who had an organ under dibs would get a notification that a second organ was under dibs.

Most of the time that would end like the single dibs case. Two or three weeks later they would be back to normal with no organs under dibs.

Very rarely someone with two organs under dibs would get a notification that a third organ was under dibs. In that case they were required to give up their three organs to save the lives of the three people under dibs.
I feel like this article gets a few things dead wrong - mostly that this trend originated in 2020. Maybe the term came around then but this is what dribbble design has looked like since probably 2010 or 2011 (which is also around the same time the flat aesthetic came around, a decade after this article claimed).
My neighbor had an IUD in place when she conceived a 4th child in her early 40s. The pregnancy was ectopic (or misplaced in some way) and the doctor said it would “resolve” on its own. It did not and now she has a disabled 5 year old.
I understand how law is made quite well, which is why I specifically said that Roe invented a "Constitutional right" and not a "law." Of course, for the last 50 years Roe was part of our law. Now it's not, because it was determined that the Constitutional right it was based on doesn't actually exist.
It is important to note the position was that of the Hospital and not a legal position. All laws in place or being contemplated allow for abortive procedures in medical emergencies such as when the mothers life is in danger.

For instance, the Mississippi law which was the impetus of the recent SCOTUS ruling has the following language:

“[e]xcept in a medical emergency or in the case of a severe fetal abnormality, a person shall not intentionally or knowingly perform . . . or induce an abortion"

There are issues with the ICD10 codes related to D&C procedures as they reference or include the word 'abortion'. This should be resolved by the AMA.

The preceding amendments are examples of the types of freedoms given the people, and the types of limitations imposed on the governments. Then it goes on to say, this is not an exhaustive list of rights for people, but is an exhaustive list of rights to the federal government.

The right to potentially life saving treatment sounds an awful lot like those enumerated in the first amendment, and the right to not have the government force you to go through an potentially deadly and avoidable situation sounds in the spirit of the eighth amendment.
To be pedantic, the City of New York is a municipal corporation. They are allowed to have conditions of continued employment. They cannot force vaccines upon anybody under the threat of jail time but they can certainly not continue to employ anybody they don't want to. NY is a right to work state.
At face value, all sides are not to blame. A president who lost the popular vote got to appoint THREE justices to this court and literally got a list of candidates from the religious right. This is the minority imposing their will on the majority, plain and simple.

That actually makes the problem worse. You can't undo this without changing the court. You can't change the court without the senate and you can't get the senate of team blue continues to isolate it self in a handful of states.
Personally I have been using Bitcoin for legal & legit use cases for years. It is primarily a hobby, but personally I believe in the long run it will also benefit me financially. As a personal savings and checking account it works, though the volatility for many is understandably hard to bear.

For online purchases in my country Bitcoin works very nicely. Also for travel related purchases. I would estimate that maybe 60-70% of my purchases are in Bitcoin these days.
Reminds me of Twitter's board where they have a small ownership stake (in % and $ terms).

I've seen a few non-profit boards in action and they're filled with a couple people who really care about the cause, and the rest really care about their egos and like the title of board member.

While this is likely the case for for-profit boards, but having skin in the game really matters for engagement and motivation. Try watching a sports game with money on the line and another without. The difference is huge.
I recently learned that being a kidney donor has lower fatality rates than birthing. With that in mind I absolutely can’t see any reason to override someone’s bodily autonomy on any reason whatsoever. The not hyperbolic analog would be to force someone to be a kidney donor in order to save a live (one who actually lived on the Earth for decades) - on which I’m fairly sure noone sane would agree.

Some of that shifts with syntax highlighting: drawing the eyes to which bits are more specifically related. The arrow => should highlight as a single operator (just as >= does), for instance. Most people call these "arrow functions" so thinking of "=>" as the arrow operator is a habit that quickly builds.

They are controversial and everyone has different opinions, but I also think this is where programming ligatures come in extremely handy. When => looks more like ⇒ and is even more obviously an arrow, I think that also starts to make it easier to visually "parse" the flow of code like that.

For what it is worth, arrow functions weren't added solely for compactness, but also to fix some historic issues with classic function syntax. (Lexically scoped `this` versus caller scoped `this` being the big one.) A new type of function syntax was desired anyway for those reasons, and the compact syntax was the icing on the cake.

I haven't had the pleasure of teaching such things to students at this point in my career, but I have given a hand to many a junior developer to grasping some of these ideas and I don't think it is that tough, though it can be a shock/surprise if the last JS you touched was many years before. Especially if you are trying to also learn what JSX and/or TSX add on top of all the changes in ES2015+.

I'm on a few non-profit boards and one of the things I don't see the author mention at all or specifically is the primary directive of the board is the financials. The CEO/Director is in charge of the day to day operations. The board has very little interest in that. A non-profit will have some or most of it's money from donors and those donors want to make sure that donation is being spent effectively. And that is where a good or bad board becomes responsible.

If the money is being spent to drive the mission of the non-profit successfully no one cares. We show up for the board meeting, order sandwiches, and ask questions. And plan the next meeting.

If the money is not being spent effectively or the mission isn't being met well we ask questions, sometimes offer advice, or raise more money. Maybe staff need to be changed or a new director hired. The board does not need to know the technicalities of the non-profit it just wants it to be governed with good care.

You can't operate a non-profit the same technique as a for-profit. They are orthogonal in duties. A true non-profit has to spend almost every dollar it takes in. The board is all voluntary and there is nothing in it for them, except those sandwiches!
You could waste less of our time if you were either clearer in your writing, if you feel you've been misunderstood, or you just got to the point.
