How many of those lives are over 80 years of age and will die anyway in the next 5 years? (the vast majority) Was it really worth collapsing the global economy for a group of people who require the most medical expenditures, nursing care, and welfare spending? If you're one of those 80+ already in poor health with other co-morbidities, did you really want to see your children and grandchildren suffer, just so you can ride out a couple more years in a nursing home bed and make a few vaccine manufacturers really really rich?
I've never seen anyone actually use CafeX. Would recommend you check one out physically if interested but try a coffee chain that originated here. Some big ones are Philz and Blue Bottle.

Minaal isn't SF based but a lot of other ones are just as an FYI. Some I know are Peak Design, Dsptch, Aer, Triple Aught, Mission Workshop.
If wikipedia counts, then openstreetmap is similar.
Those problems were obviously eliminated according to you. Drug use and school shootings are illegal, therefore they don’t happen.

Except is used more like an interjection there (agreed, except that...). They didn't mean to except the american vernacular from the rest of the sentence, just to clarify why they didn't write "conservative" in the first place.
They wont, but the cat is out of the bag. It is data, and data gets leaked, shared in the open, shared in the dark. Researchers can be bribed.

Famnom is a nutrition tracking and meal planning service I built, after trying a few others that didn't fit my needs. The goal is to highlight macro and micro nutrient data for raw and unprocessed foods. Data is sourced from USDA.
You're right about the creepy over-branding that tech companies often indulge in. But it feels like now, four years after the Cambridge Analytica scandal implicated Facebook, three years after HBO's Silicon Valley ended, two years into the Great Resignation, and at the precipice of an impending recession, people are not looking at tech companies in the same starry-eyed way they did a decade ago.
They're carrying water for the oppressor. Maybe they're "arguing against abortions," or maybe they're just being a "useful idiot."
Oh yeah F1 teams will magically outdo the energy density that chemists, physicists, and material scientists have spent decades achieving with battery technology.
I totally agree with this. Interesting point about NoSQL!

I'm not sure if it's just the query language though - the definition language needs to make creating columns that are sum types trivial. For one-to-many data this might be a slight generalization of foreign key (compound of table tag + foreign key for that table). This can work for one-to-one data too, but can be a bit annoying having lots of tables compared to doing adding a couple nullable columns (plus there's also data locality differences). I suppose a wrapper language that covers both DDL and DML could work.
“The Worst Person You Know”: The Man Who Unwittingly Became a Meme
A character isn't just something that produces a picture, and advances the printing position to the right.

Yes, a byte index will work if we have a multi-byte string such as UTF-8; and a code point index would be inconvenient since displacement calculations on it are meaningless.

If we are talking about a string as an array of code points (like a wchar_t * string on sane platforms where a wchar_t can hold any code point) then we use code point indexing. C has wmemcpy, wmalloc, wstrlen, ...

Yea agree. It's at least a 2x2x2 matrix:

- Do you agree with having abortions?

- Do you think abortions should be regulated at the federal level?

- Do you think abortions should be legal?

probably many other dimensions.
Agreed. If it looks like swag then I'm not bringing it home. If it looks like a shirt someone would pay for then now you've got something more people will wear.

My kid had a birthday party at a local trampoline park and they gave him a t-shirt. I wasn't expecting much, but it was really cool. It had a piece of original art on the front, followed by the name of the park underneath. Even with the name of the business, it didn't look like an advertisement because the name of the business doesn't sound like a business. Everyone around here knows exactly what it is, but if we went somewhere else it just looks like a fun t-shirt from the kids section at a department store. They perfectly nailed the balance between serving the business and the customer at the same time.
The only reason offered is that there are (or might be) differences between version of Python, mainly 2 and 3, as far as I can see.

Python 2 is EOL, so that's no longer a concern.

As for differences between Python 3 releases, isn't there a fairly large difference in TOML support as well, since in versions before 3.11 it doesn't work at all? Wouldn't specifying the behaviour of the INI parser as whatever 3.11 is doing (and raising an exception on earlier versions) amount to essentially the same thing?
I'm saying there isn't a single answer to the question that everyone will be happy about.
Yup. That’s a Democrat for you.
This line of thought has been elaborated under a theory called evictionism [1]. Evictionists concede personhood of a fetus, but reject its right to reside in a womb without consent of the owner of the womb. The logic seems sound, but leads to conclusions which are objectionable by current mainstream moral standards (for example, allowing extremely late term abortions for non-medical reasons [2]).

Yes, having 4 retired grandparents and 2 retired parents supported by 1 working adult with 0 young children, at scale, is generally bad.

Worrying about the ideal balance of births : deaths, today, is like worrying about ballast in a sinking ship. Insatiable growth doesn’t exist anymore and hasn’t for some time, we’re squarely in flattening the curve territory with the fun twist that discharges take 18 years to raise.
While the temperature is rather wide, I would expect the actual energy difference to be relatively small, as without atmosphere for convection and little conduction down due to the insulating properties of regolith it may end up heating just the very surface, so very little mass.

The fact that people could stand in spacesuits on the surface for significant amounts of time, with little heat removal capacity, likely means the actual energy insolation isn't huge. Functionally it'll be the same as on earth at a similar angle to the sun, minus atmospheric absorption (which a quick google says may be in the order of 20%).

Similarly you need a way of easily removing the heat from the "cold" end of whatever system you use to generate power, as otherwise it'll quickly heat up and remove the differential. Again without convection you'll likely rely on radiation, which may not be a big difference at the temperatures we're looking at, and conduction through the ground, which may require some way of sinking significant heat into the ground. Possibly using some pipes driven deep containing some kind of heat transporting medium, e.g. a liquid, but then you have issues on finding something with a high heat capacity that doesn't vaporize/solidify at any of the temperatures.
As an artist – i.e., judged by artistic criteria – DALL-E 2 is rather terrible. The other way round, if getting basic harmonics right is your criterium for good music, there is no problem with computer generated music. I guess, it's for the additional temporal dimension of music that forces us to consider the internal cohesion (and motivation) of a piece and the fact that audiences tend to be more exposed to music in everyday life that there's this huge perceived gap.

Also, consider the difference in challenges. I've never heard of someone instructing an AI by "a short series of bars in the style of Beethoven with a fire siren in it", and then going, "yeah, this is a fire siren, this is great music!" There are certainly more criteria than this to be satisfied for this being considered great art. (In theory, this applies to visual arts quite the same, but we tend to be satisfied at a much lower level, like, "yes, it's a fire engine!")

(That said, there has been this long-nursed idea in art theory that music would be the highest of all arts, for being both the most abstract one and also the most direct one. One may assume that a higher degree of abstraction would favor computer generated content, the emotional dimension, however, may give it away more easily.)
I think this kind of record should have two versions, the first one is that apparently standard ex-F1/Indy driver, and the other is some random person picked up from outside a tube stop during a weekday morning.
I cannot remember if he used 'junkie' or 'drogado' or other terms when referring to those actors that had been a dangerous nuisance in the filming process. Surely he was fuming and rightly, commonsensically contemptuous remembering the episodes (one almost killed him and left scars).

Whatever the drug, it is the exact opposite of what that work stands for. The "sleeping intoxicated bum" is the very beginning.
When different architectural patterns are being compared, saying one is "faster" is almost meaningless.

It’s weird but it’s a thing. Especially with the hybrid work environment, recordings, legal or not are everywhere now with online conferencing.

If you think someone is doing this with an axe to grind, make some smalltalk/banter in video ambit how you’re visiting friends in Maryland and can’t wait to see the Orioles. You’ll probably get a reaction.
I live in the city because I love living in a city. So many things to do, not needing to own a car (I hate driving). Having the whole world a few steps away.

I need the buzz of a city around me. I lived in a tiny town in rural Ireland before and I was depressed and withering away. As I don't have a family I need more life around me than people who lock the front door at 6pm and settle down with the family for the night. Good for them but I don't work like that.

And yes I work remote 80% of the time, the office is 20 mins on the subway away but I prefer home. Especially since we moved to this horrible hotdesking setup at the office. If I could get away with it I'd never go :)

Not everyone's preferences and needs are the same.

I got a beanie with the company logo (which is pretty simple, just a stylised animal) and no words. Love that thing.

But I think restraint is important. And that goes for other swag too. I'd wear say a Kube shirt or a Rust shirt, but only if they just have the logos.
For non-critical stylistic or refactoring I prefix with "Consider".

> Consider extracting this to a separate function to make this more re-usable.

This gives the developer the option to disregard the comment. Essentially I am trusting that they will consider it. It shows that I trust their judgment instead of ordering them.

For stuff that is more important but not critical I prefix with "I'd recommend".

I'd recommend doing [current approach] [migration statement] [your suggestion]. It will [benefit].

> I'd recommend testing UI components in a similar way that a user would interact with it. It will make your tests more resilient and prevent other developers from breaking your code.

> I'd recommend moving this logic into it's own function, it will allow this code to be used by future developers and allow you to test it easier.

This both declares the recommendation and explains why it was recommended.

For stuff that is critical, I might just write it more directly:

> We need to extract this into it's own function so it doesn't lead to/cause X.
some of the advice applies to x-y tables as well, such as the one about making sure that the drill bit is perfectly centered in the chuck
>I'm very curious what sort of things people are saying in the workplace that they are afraid of coming out.

I can't (and would never attempt to) speak for anyone else, but the content of the conversation is irrelevant.

I'm perfectly happy to stand behind everything I say (e.g., I didn't post stuff I knew would be poorly received with a throwaway account in this very thread and have been severely downvoted for it. N.B.: Not complaining about the downvotes, I knew they were coming and stand by my posts).

My issue is with surreptitious recording. Not because of what I say, but because it's wrong to record someone without their knowledge or consent -- regardlesss of the content.

Edit: Corrected myself. Meant to say "I can't (and would never attempt to) speak for anyone else," rather than "I can't (and would attempt to) speak for anyone else,"
Bill Frist wrote most of the legislation that became Medicare Part D, he was old buddies with Rove. Frist was a hospital guy and a bit of a scammer before going to congress, I won’t deny that he was in the tank for hospitals, but the pharma lobby didn’t write his law. The original version was pretty modest, people criticized it at the time for not spending enough money, though it may now bankrupt Medicare. I remember it pretty well because I was just then getting interested in politics, but a ton has been written about it.
It takes more than pilots to run an airline, you need flight attendants, maintenance crew, ticketing agents. If pilot staffing issues due to training and early retirements then why did airlines that removed mask mandates see staff shortages first?

Hmm, preparing for market changes ?
Using the regulatory environment as a proxy for housing prices is a very noisy signal. Of the Scandinavian countries, three are relatively flat; the other, Norway, has the third highest median income at PPP in the world (after UAE/.ch) thanks to its oil reserves. All have very low population densities by European standards. These factors should improve housing affordability in any regulatory environment.
I don't agree. Because of the inherit nature of git, the code repositories are distributed already so this doesn't give a fraction of the network effects that you see in other applications.

I think that the lock-in from github are in the other parts of the system: the CI, issue tracking, comment section, etc. This is what "forces" most people to have accounts there if they want to collaborate.
I think you're receiving pushback in the comments because it comes off as though you think it's OK to be rude in the morning.

Additionally, if you made someone cry I think most of us draw comparisons to similar situations we've seen where, generally, the person who thinks they're just being blunt is actually very offensive and usually the most sensitive to critique.
> I went to the Next.js website, looked at some of the logos of the companies using the framework, and started typing their domains into PageSpeed Insights.

This is going to be heavily conflated with so much other stuff that is nothing to do with SSR, that it is useless.

It is probably more a test of the underlying server performance. And whether a CDN is used (if you use Next with Vercel you will get a CDN, but not everyone does necessarily use Vercel).

Also I am guessing PageSpeed doesn't wait for angular to do the client side render? So yes <html><script ..></html> will load pretty fast.

Also a lot of NextJS people are going to be correlated with 'build it and ship it quick' bent, and may not tune performance up. I imagine Angular people are more 'long term product' people, in general.

Also if you are doing a SPA on Next, you can set up static file generation if rendered page = f(url) not f(url, user_state). Then those can be geographically cached across a CDN. You can do that in a way that say you have product_list.csv, you can build out the static site.

I just feel Angular vs. Next = apples vs. orange trees.
The idea of successfully suing the city over transit crime is almost as laughable as people's overblown fear of being a transit crime victim.

See Lozito v. New York City.
Roe vs Wade has been in legal conservative crosshairs since it was decided. There is no movement by anyone to undermine the prohibition on ex post facto laws. These two things are very, very different in how legally well-founded they are in the eyes of conservatives.

I know this decision is awful for many people and has created justified anger, but this isn't the Anschluss. The people who did this aren't trying to destroy every venerated legal structure in the country to impose their will.

Not saying it's 100% impossible for some crazy thing to happen, your wife's anxiety is understandable, but I think a bit of perspective could help avoid needless panic.

I would also remember that Trump's bid to disregard the election was shut down in part by judges he appointed. Legal conservatives do actually want to conserve the legal traditions of the country, for the most part.
> Which makes me wonder if putting state level structure around “militias” (open entry for anyone over 18, govern some aspects of sport shooting and training) would be an effective entry to reducing the number of semiautomatic weapons in circulation

At least in the United States, sadly that ship has sailed as SCOTUS precedent repeatedly emphasizes the 2nd Amendment as a purely individual right. The so-called preamble discussing states and militias is now formally a dead letter.
It may be moot but I would argue that you should never store important data on another company's servers without some guarantee of service and contract of data ownership.

If the business was not profitable enough to afford Excel, OpenOffice is an almost Excel feature parity FOSS alternative. Had that file been stored on a cloud drive and regularly backed up to local or alternative 3rd party backup solutions, this issue not only wouldn't have happened but it also would not have been able to happen.

Hindsight is 20/20. though. Don't store important documents on a cloud server that you have no backend access to without having a contract in place regarding the responsibilities of maintaining your data.

Some feedback, gating asking questions to users who've logged in is good for your platform but perhaps while you're still in bootstrapping mode and trying to amass some example AMAs to point to as prior successes, you could open the question asking to just users willing to fill out a form without a login, and then you can manually filter out the spam. Then once you've proven the value prop, people will be more willing to onboard.
I, too, loathe Android auto complete and autocorrect. I had blamed this on two things:

1. Extraordinarily poor human factors of the virtual keyboard. Keys smaller than a finger tip. No real tactile distinction between keys. No real way to touch type. I'm not saying anything can be done, the small size imposed causes weird, weird typos, typos that will be dramatically different from person to person.

2. Trying to use a larger, or more specialized vocabulary. It's just too hard to determine if something is a typo or an acronym, or some such.
>It isn't necessarily the density itself driving the demand; it's often the reasonableness of, e.g., being able to send a child off to the post office or supermarket to run an errand. Therein lies the rub: Density tends to be a sufficient condition for enabling that.

Which is exactly what I said:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31891305

Saying "Well if people love their density so much, why don't rich people cram themselves in the tightest possible density" is a strawman.
San Francisco is extremely progressive in some ways, and extremely conservative in others. There seems to be a general assumption that because SF is very visibly progressive on some high-profile social topics that it must be progressive on all topics, but it's not.

More generally, the idea that Democrats cannot be conservative is incorrect, and not just in the leftist "Democrats are right wing" sort of sense. In an effective one-party state you see a lot of people who are ideologically much more aligned with the Republican party running as Democrats, and vice-versa in Republican-dominated states.
It's not by chance.
If you have a heater controlled by a thermostat, it destroys the correlation that would otherwise exist between outside temperature and inside temperature.

Thanks for nice questions! I am currently working with multiple time series and when an anomaly happens in the time series, I have to check an audio recording to see what happened. The problem has been that all audio players and recorders that I have found starts at 0 and don't show recording time at the x axis, so I have to manually calculate the exact time in the audio recording, then listen around that time and register what happened and calculate the exact time for these events

It is a quite basic problem, but I haven't been able to find a good solution yet: an audio recorder/player that shows the exact time instead of relative time. I'll be very happy for suggestions, and if not, then it's an app I would wish someone would build:)
