The MSNBC website back in the 90s was actually pretty great. It had a menu system that would update with live headlines. It was really impressive (to me, at least) back then.

I think MSNBC began as a joint effort between Microsoft and GE, but Microsoft sold its stake a long time ago at this point. It's bizarre that MSNBC has kept the name, but I guess it has branding value at this point.
I guess we have different ideas of good battery life. I'd like to see days if not weeks of battery life using AA's or AAA's.

Then in French they say “milliard” for billion. And billiard for trillion. Throws me off.
Noticed I said "limit", and not "eliminate". The concept of NULLS in an RDBMS has been discussed and argued for decades. Three valued logic is generally not well understood, and as such, it's usually skipped over. Binary logic is easy...0 or 1. It's there, or not. OFF/ON. 3 valued logic introduces a third state: "unknown". It really means that there is no meaningful answer...not yet, anyway. In simple terms, NULL in RDBMS is dangerously often equated to 0 (zero) in numeric fields. Or "space" in character fields. Neither are true. On occasion, these might behave as such...but you are playing with fire here. What's worse, you can't compare a NULL to a NULL. NULL != NULL. Which is why you often see the "IS NULL" operator used in DML for such things. What it boils down to is that your applications need to pay careful attention when digging around (read: joining) tables with NULLS. Additional code logic is often required to ensure that things work the way you expect them to when NULLS are involved. Formal primary keys cannot NULL (this is enforced by the RDBMS) but it does not stop ad-hoc clever queries from including NULL columns as part of the "where..." clause. So what do? You can tell your DBA to ensure that all columns are NOT NULL. This really tightens things down, and makes some operations a bit more sane. However, if a column value is actually not known (yet!) then one is forced to populate it with data that may not be correct/relevant. These are often called "sentinal" values and can cause a mess of their own. There are use cases where a RDBMS schema with everything as NOT NULL can make sense. In my experience, databases whose data is never (directly) seen/input by actual people can work. When a human sees a field with "placeholder value" instead of just blank space..it is uncomfortable. My advice is to really understand why something might be NULL, and don't blindly add a mess of columns to a table as NULL because it's easy. Remember, that shit will live forever. Google around for "three valued logic" and start down the rabbit hole. Long-term (think: migrating from one RDBMS impl to another) you will absolutely find that NULLs don't behave the same. Various operations may or not be consistent from one to another...and this will break your apps. The key (haha) relationships modeled in your schema...if you strip all the unimportant stuff away...should avoid NULL. The flip side of this is to do a code scan (app side) and search for "is NULL" , "is NOT NULL" in the embedded SQL. Especially when there are a lot of "and ____ IS NOT NULL and ___IS NOT NULL" and so forth. This will indicate those parts of the database that are "hot spots" for NULL issues. I have seen SQL where 80% of the DML is taken up with NULL handling of some kind.
After thousands of stories like this, all true, why use Google at all?
> Stepping away from the metaphor of hopes and dreams, you can start to observe REM movement in utero at 28 weeks. So in a literal sense, it is likely fetuses do dream.

> A clump of four cells isn't a person, but there is a very reasonable case for 39 week old fetus being as much of a person as a 1 day old infant born at 38 weeks.

But only 1% of abortions in the US happen after 21 weeks [1]. So there's a blanket ban despite 99% of abortions happening before that 28 week cutoff? How does that track?

We're not debating the right or wrong of it-- we're debating your assertion that policymakers won't make federal law about abortion. A) They've indicated that they will, and B) they have before.

Nice try to gallop to something you consider more defensible after your previous point was soundly refuted.
I didn't for a while, now I think it was.
I think this is usually a false projection. If you have the right work-life balance, work is a great asset. It provides social validation and meaning. Not everyone is a creative with an interest in pet projects. Most like to collaborate and feel useful, and aren't really invested in the big picture. You can quibble that this isn't entirely contingent on "work", but whether you're paid for it or not, the desired activity is the same.
It's not facetious. It's quite the stretch to say that if you assume literally any injection could cure any disease, it's OK to describe any found correlation as a "link".

This sort of intellectual looseness is not free. People are learning to treat claims by scientists as untrue, and it's partly because of this sort of press release/paper hacking.

Finding a correlation between two random medical data sets does not mean there is a "link" in any English that normal people would use it. It definitely does not mean there's an "effect" or that one thing "reduces" the other. It might mean there's something worth a followup investigation there, though given the prevalence of non-reproducible p-hacked results in science, also maybe not.

Regardless, before doing press releases and going to the public with such a claim there is a large amount of work needing to be done to actually prove causality. Moreover you'd then want to ask why does such a thing happen when there is no prior reason to suspect such an impact.

> A foetus is less developed than my toe.

I think much confusion comes from miscommunication and unclear meaning of words.

Embryo -> until the ninth week after conception, inner organs are not yet present.

Fetus -> from the ninth week (heart, hands, feet, brain and other inner organs are present) until birth.

While a nine week old fetus is very small and the size of your big toe, it does grow very fast after that point. Anyway, even a nine month old unborn is still called a fetus.

I have no recommendation but there are field recorders that write the audio track to both cards - for redundancy and also so that two copies are available. There are still and video cameras that do the same thing.
Singe Family Homes are the huge luxury here. Never in the history of mankind have people lived in single family homes, or they did when the family. consisted of 10 to 15 people including elders, not when the family is roughly 4 people (parents + 2 children).

The square foot / person is huge and leads to lots of issues around transportation (hello cars !), so the cost on society is massive, especially if you factor in private gardens, which are basically private pieces of land that cannot be used for anything - and aren't that ecologically beneficial.

Lower you housing expectations to a 1500 sq ft apartment with no private garden (but with a park nearby) on a 10 story building and you have something that actually allows for efficient public services and is economically viable for an average person. Of course, rich people will still be able to afford private houses, but that should be the exception, not the norm. The median SFH shouldn't be the reference.

Housing is usually the biggest expense someone has. Asking for luxury here means that you'll have to compromise on everything else. Being reasonable will free budgets for a lot of other things.

Make up your mind-- sounds like you don't like states' rights for firearms, but do for abortion laws.

As said to you before: "In practice, very few people truly believe in a consistent ideology either way about states' rights. You'll find Democrats that believe things should be left to the states when it benefits them and when Republicans are in power. And you'll find Republicans eager to expand federal spending and powers when they occupy the institutions of power."
A few weeks ago I discovered Franklin.jl ([0], [1]), a static site generator that lets you render math easily, and I chose it because the alternatives either took too long to appear or are slow or take too many steps to set up. It has direct KaTeX support and I've been pleased with the results. There is no need for adding or tweaking things unlike Jekyll or Hugo. And KaTeX is faster than MathJax in general.

However, I see frantic after frantic post of "I was testing something on AWS and it caused me a $X000 or $X0000 bill."

But as the posts in here are apt to suggest - you can always beg AWS support for a reversal. Great plan there.

It doesn't make sense to think about the Council of Europe as a "superset of the EU" the thing they have in common is Europe, and thus the European flag (which symbolises Europe, not the EU, the Council, the EBU, the Paris MOU or any other political entity, treaty organisation or whatever, just Europe as an idea)

The Council is older, and has a much more limited purpose.
Thanks for the considerate response!

I think the no-ego environment does a lot of work towards being more effective and increasing self-esteem. It's just so conducive to learning! But learning can be difficult especially if someone who's smart has never really been challenged as I can imagine being the case if you're doing advanced research where everyone has so much deep expertise.
I think you're being disingenuous here. Having your name and address attached to a story about how damaging you are to society is not desirable, and if you can't acknowledge that I think you're not arguing from an honest place.

Imagine whatever opinion you might have that is controversial, even mildly so. Now imagine that a new story about how that opinion makes you dangerous to society also includes your name and address in it. I think the harm here need not be a physical attack on someone, intentional intimidation is a mild form of violence itself.
There are all kinds of artificially expensive fruit in japan (square watermelons, for example) but also lots of "exemplars" of the season are expensive. But also they farm expensive mostly decorative fruit: https://stickymangorice.com/2020/05/29/japan-expensive-fruit...

It's a good thing, these aren't considered pseudo-bribery or "large gifts" in Japan.

IBM refused to let them set up their own coffee pot, but IBM was not allowed to look at anything marked "confidential". so they put a cardboard box over the coffee pot and wrote "confidential" on the side.

It's a joke. You're not supposed to take it seriously.
I'm not sure what you mean. In a corporate job ladder, anyone who isn't strictly a manager and writes at least SOME code is classified as an IC. That's not to say that there are no managers who also write code, though.

Yes, and if you've got a fairly complex website it's unlikely it could render more than a couple dozen rendered requests per second. If you're not rendering and instead getting them from a cache, that would be different of course.

I think the problem is the change. You didn't need \$ before, and now people's files are broken.

GitHub could have run their parser on a sample of existing Markdown file and check that the output doesn't change. They have such a huge corpus, with author date info, it is so easy to test that files authored before the feature don't trigger the feature.
My favorite memory of high school was Sophomore year - reading Othello in class - seeing how terribly we acted it out - and then watching the same scene from the movie.

We wouldn't have appreciated the movie and the story so much if we didn't sort of take part in it.

For the future, I’m not sure if it suits you but I find you can get a far easier, cheaper, and more predictable dev and deploy experience without using something like CloudFront.

I once moved a project from AWS to Digitalocean for a small team (AWS was just all they knew, so it was what they used) and I was able to cut the monthly bill down quite a bit.

It isn’t that DO is inherently cheaper or better. It’s just dead simple so it’s easy to deploy with only what you actually need, with easy limits and visibility on what gets spun up. In some cases it’s arguably less cost efficient, but it’s really hard to mess up.

For the team I was supporting, simply having the visibility and a simple tool was worth a lot in saved time. They previously spent way too much time on AWS, and couldn’t even get the right infrastructure with the time they invested.

So, maybe something worth considering at least. Good luck with the bill! You’re certainly not alone (I got an $800 charge for a db I forgot to kill a few years ago).

Surely, everyone involved has "good intentions."

And yet, looking at this in hindsight, it reads like something straight out of Kafka's cynical mind:

1. An accounting company's staff systematically cheats on an exam for accountants.

2. The company gets caught and charged by the government.

3. The company pays a fine to settle the charges, with a bit of fanfare.

4. The company is now assumed to have changed its behavior.

5. The company suffers no other consequences.

This goes back a long way. Many of the early American colonies were founded by religious extremist sects being pushed out of wherever they came from. The US and UK both experienced the First Great Awakening, but the Second Great Awakening was unique to the US. This led to entirely new sects like the Adventists and Latter Day Saints. It led to an extreme backlash against Enlightenment ideals. Post-millenialism spread rapidly and many Americans were convinced the return of Christ was imminent and American society needed to be purified, which resulted in the first tight intermingling of religion with politics. Religious organizations needed political clout to accomplish their social goals, which were not restricted to their own followers. This was heightened all the more by the reality that the outlying territories didn't have real governments and religious leaders were the only leaders around. Revivalism mixed with frontier folk libertarianism to produce what would eventually become prosperity gospel teaching that the strength of one's adherence to strict behavior and love of Christ would lead to material success, and thus the rich must be pious. The Third Great Awakening gave us American Christian organizations that became increasingly all about social reform in light of the belief that Christ's return was imminent, leading to the very earliest alliance of the Republican party with activist Christians, which was the effort to abolish slavery. That alliance eventually dovetailed quite nicely with the American GOP's post-New Deal long game to cut taxes, business regulation, and social welfare spending, thanks to those earlier seeds of prosperity gospel. This also explains the largely unique to the US "god and guns" phenomenon, which is more about identity politics than religious doctrine because revivalism was tied so tightly to the frontier, where personal firearms ownership and proficiency was all but mandatory.

All in all, I think you get a nice picture of how something well-intended can end up in a bad place. The righteous fervor to make society better resulted in ending slavery, fighting against tenements, but then they ran out of the most obvious evils and we got prohibition, anti-homosexual laws, and this mobilization of single-issue voters that judge all office holders solely by whether they'll try to abolish abortion and don't care about anything else they do. Tack that onto the naked charlatanism of prosperity gospel and you more or less get everything wrong with 20th-century American evangelicalism.

React is here to stay and will have jquery like longevity.

Sure, performance wise, it isn't the best, but performance isn't an end all be all.

What separates react from the rest of the group is the maturity of React Native.

If Discord is betting on React Native, so too can it be used for a lion's share of applications out there.

When you're a startup deciding between technologies, usually you're a 1-5 man shop.

If you have the capital to blow, you can build separate teams for native + web, and separating native even further with Kotlin/Java and Swift with your choice for the web platform.

(I'm not trying to the Dart ecosystem just to only use Flutter, in which, Flutter-Web isn't SEO friendly)

Or you can just use React + RN and essentially have one team and save you anywhere from 500k-2m in hiring.

This is why React is so strong.

It's not because it's "performant", it's because it's practical, and even for performance it's good enough.

> There is no need to use Git source code management if you don't need it. Git's a complicated tool, which is why Linus Torvalds gave it the name: it's British English for a hostile or uncooperative person. 7-Zip has a single author, Igor Pavlov, and if he doesn't want to use Git, The Reg FOSS desk doesn't blame him.

Who cares if a media desk doesn't know how to use Git. How is that even relevant to the story.

Nobody has said that he should use git, but it is a good idea to use some kind of version control so that changes to the code can be easily tracked, based on change. Places like Github, Gitlab provide plenty of documents.

Using version control also encourages others to contribute. 7-Zip in itself is very old C++ code that I doubt anyone has really looked at too closely in a long time.

Further it often gets recommended as an "encryption tool" when there are better modern alternatives such as Picocrypt https://github.com/HACKERALERT/Picocrypt or Kryptor https://www.kryptor.co.uk.

They later mention that bullshit node-ipc pulled, yet they don't see how version control provides accountability.

Amusing.
