I just can't imagine living life in this much fear, and I ride transit in LA county. The things I've seen would probably send you to some bubblewrapped environment in the midwest, but at the end of the day they are just things that I've seen and not things that have personally affected me at all. Someone smoking meth on the platform ultimately doesn't affect me. Someone selling loose cigarettes doesn't affect me. Two crazy people getting into a fight over nothing also doesn't affect me. A guy tagging MS-13 on the schedule map similarly doesn't affect me.

You don't make eye contact and keep to yourself, and nothing happens to you. If something does happen, every single train car has an intercom tied to EMS, and every single bus has a driver who is trained on how to deal with these situations when they do inevitably come up (pull over and call EMS). If you got beat up I'm sure you'd have a case against the city and the city attorney would probably be happy to settle and pay you versus deal with a lawsuit and potentially more seriously have to address something. The odds of you getting killed are just too low to even seriously consider, you are probably a lot more likely to die crossing the street to get to the bus stop than you are to die on the bus involved in some situation.
No, jail them, even if just overnight. It fixed Iceland's issues.

Prison is for serious crimes, like murder, or financial losses so large they are akin to one.

A human life is worth about 10 million:

If someone makes a big deal out of never killing, and they do multiples of damage to that, some of which causes others to die of depression... then walk them out of their offices in handcuffs, one by one, until they're "nudged" to change their behavior.

I feel just as precarious as I did in 2008. (Moreso since I'm older, and don't have the clean slate young people do but don't have the savings others have on this site despite always trying to make the least wrong decisions I could... but if others don't opt in to giving me income, I can't invest it wisely, full stop.)
GET is supposed to be safe as well as idempotent though.

Request methods are considered "safe" if their defined semantics are essentially read-only; i.e., the client does not request, and does not expect, any state change on the origin server as a result of applying a safe method to a target resource. (RFC 7231, § 4.2.1)
Correlations do imply a link, though. They don't imply causation, but in the absence of selection bias and with enough of a sample size, it is almost certain there is a link somewhere.
"More Kids (than 1st world countries are having is) Good" is generally true.

Social security relies of the young bearing the burden of the old. Don't even get me started on the intangible energy of having little kids around. Not everyone wants kids, but most people like being a cool uncle/aunt.

> What's the "right" value for TFR?

Difficult problems exist in Grays. But even the most fervent believers on either side agree that the 'right number' is likely between and 1.5-2.5. With western TFR plummeting under 1.5, we can safely say the the call for 'more kids' is effectively a call for a slower decline in population; not 'more kids'.

> carrying capacity

Yep, that ecosystem is called the economy and the carry capacity is a lower bound, not an upper bound. Too few young people is the death knell of a civilization.

Also, population explosion is presently led by Africa in rates, and South Asia in sheer numbers. A few dozen more/less westerners (who're we kidding? mostly white people) isn't going to change the numbers by much.
FYI- I can't currently wear t-shirts since I've been either pregnant or nursing for the last 3 years. T-shirts aren't compatible with pregnant/nursing bodies, so I just decline them or immediately give them away when I receive them. Zip-ups are actually the most compatible, of all the clothing swag, and my partner can attest to how frequently I steal his swaggy zip-ups. :)

Generally I think that if there is going to be swag given away, people should get to opt in to swag or such swag should be wholly biodegradable.
I think the way they are going about it is counterproductive to actual privacy reform.

Basically they are associating privacy rights with abortion which will make this bill a dead end in the Senate. No Republican can sign onto this bill without being accused of supporting abortion.

Given the filibuster in the Senate, this bill is more about messaging and fundraising than actually trying to pass a bill.
>> They are indeed hate groups, it's a hate symbol, thanks for playing!

> The SDP was and is a center-left party. You can look their platform up today, and confirm that it is neither historically nor currently hateful.

Words don't have any meaning anymore, so they mean whatever someone wants them to mean, so everything is true.
See this is the problem. While I follow plenty of international news, I didn't know this.

There is often times just too much to know to fully understand a situation. So how can anyone form a valid opinion?

As a follow up, was the election of Victor Yanukovych lawful? If not, then why not point out he was a puppet from a manipulated election? That would be worth a coupe, but not because you disagree with his politics, that's just insanity. Look what Trump believed and supported, we didn't start civil war because Trump wouldn't sign a treaty and he was accused of being a Russian puppet too. There is just more to this story than you are letting on.
I for one would like to see what bizarre and/or impossible things this algorithm gets up to once the resolution improves enough to discern body parts.

> Moderna is developing a range of bivalent Covid-19 shots. In April, it touted a bivalent shot targeting the Alpha and Beta variants. By June, Moderna’s strategy shifted to a bivalent shot that specifically targets the original Omicron variant. But the Omicron strains that swept the US in early 2022 are quickly being supplanted by new subvariants (including BA.4 and BA.5). It is entirely possible that any reformulated shot, by the time it gets to market, will be a poor match for this rapidly evolving virus. Rather than solving the pandemic, this approach might accelerate the evolution of variants that evade vaccines. Furthermore, by skipping clinical trials, no one will have any idea whether these reformulated shots are safe.

In other words, rapidly mutating viruses are not good candidates for vaccination approach.
I think there are quite a few recent historical examples of this - WW2, US invasion of Iraq, Russian Invasion of Ukraine, etc.

However there is a price to pay for operating on beliefs that do not align with reality. It’s why almost all organizations engage in some form of intelligence gathering. Those who are at an information disadvantage get weeded out.

Philip K Dick has a great quote “Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.”
Also very interested in this one. I do some casual locksport but would love to be able to legitimately carry tools and help out friends and colleagues.
They don't have to predict your wants and needs, they just have to keep you engaged. As long as you refresh the site, comment, and post, you're providing your labor as free content generation.
I assume that I will be held to account for anything I say in the workplace. The pushback I get for that idea makes me wonder what the rest of you are saying behind closed doors, probably not things that are very ethical/legal.
Washington State seems to rarely, if ever, have a "brownout" in major metropolitan areas - and we are almost entirely renewables. Of course it is worth noting two things:

1) Most homes here do not have built in AC. People use the portable ones. Heat pumps are a thing too.
2) We have a ridiculous amount of hydro-power available, and some of that being the cheapest around.
We really need this generation's Robert Moses or Lyndon Johnson. Someone with the ambition and political saavy for cutting through layers of bureaucracy, though maybe today's setup would be too much for even them.
Well it seems they're not scraping Tesco's website but some aggregator middleman. Like making a package tracking website using Parcels instead of FedEx, UPS, etc individually. Sure it's convenient to write code that only scrapes one website, but now that website is mad because it has a business selling that data.
>It's all Monopoly money to corporations. If there is no fear of an actual corporal punishment

The Swift Ban was as close to an economic death penalty as you can give a bank, we should do it more often to corporations, public or private, that act the fool

I for sure agree, I accidentally made it seem I was defending Facebook or Social Media in general. I think I meant it's also not accurate to say Fox News DOESN'T do that. But fair points!
I think you think they mean password expiration, not password resets. I don't see how the existence of a "I forgot my password" (password reset) flow leads to reused passwords, though automatically expiring passwords certainly do
You can tell pyo3 that your type isn't Send and then it'll panic if the object is accessed from multiple threads. Given that that's the only safe option, that seems fine? You say that that's not acceptable for a production library but I don't see the issue.

You have the same restrictions in C++ except with worse consequences.

No, I stick with the previous definition.
> One most obvious thing would be to tremendously raise taxes on middle class (who bear the brunt of the tax burden, unlike in US, where tax is mostly paid by the wealthy)

interesting, because thats the opposite of what i thought...

any good charts/data for that?

There’s no metric by which an electric motor, sufficiently supplied with everything it needs to function, doesn’t embarrass them. Very exciting future.
.onion domains are not real. There is no registry for .onion domains. To use .onion domains in an normal firefox you need an proxy for the tor network. The tor browser is just an firefox that has the settings ootb for using tor.
As others have said, it seems fishy.

They've got this data from somewhere, so why wouldn't they have looked through the license before using it?

Anyway, speaking of MySupermarket, what happened to them? All I know was one day they decided to shut down, without clear reasons. Does anyone have more insight into why it happened?
It looks like a startup that's hit a brick wall viz a viz licensing pictures.

One way of getting around this, albeit perhaps at the expense of user experience, is to insert stock photos. E.g. I imagine 'carrots' is not particularly unique. Where stock photos can't be used, i.e. it's a specialist/one-off product, perhaps the classic white-box-black-text approach?

If this is a genuine site with good intentions, staffed by volunteers then it would be a shame to see it stamped down by the supermarkets.
> people have been promoting the idea that the way to fix slow Angular sites is to rewrite them in Next.js, and the data very clearly does not support this.

Then again, the data also doesn't refute this. It simply shows angular sites on average score better than nextjs; it does not give any info about the speedup (if any) of rewriting the slowest of angular sites in nextjs.

For that, you'd need data on a bunch of slow angular sites before and after their conversion to nextjs.
I’m certainly aware that “grooming” is now a political weapon, but what I am not aware of is any concerted effort to try and use that to attack marriage equality. Your snopes article does not appear to be making that case either.
What is unethical about recording a conversation strictly for personal, private use(ie, a memory aid)?

Would it be better if it all that was stored was a transcript and not a voice recording?
No.. but gasoline is still dominant in the "going far" and "recharging quickly" category. I think that's the more important issue to tackle with respect to the current consumer market.
On Reddit I've seen cases where the person was making violent threats and someone will always reply with this canard.

"Yes your honor, that's me saying 'I'm going to fing kill you', but it was recorded without my consent!" probably isn't a smart move, legally speaking.
Perhaps not. See this article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4095986/

The people who designed Williams arcade games apparently had a different philosophy.
Unless there is a third party which is taking photos of all grocery products and then licensing that to the supermarkets, to avoid them all having to take their own photos?

I used to work for one of the major supermarkets and am aware that there are providers of product images, but don't know the specifics in enough detail.
That's really interesting. How does one even start? Are there any guides? Did you use a broker?
Both your examples are games that are built on real physical activities. It's no surprise that they teach you skills that are relevant outside of the gaming context. The majority of games aren't like that, which is what I was talking about.

I don't really have a bias against games and it's puzzling to me that most commenters here completely misread my comment to that extent. I used to be an avid gamer, until real life took over. Just speaking from personal experience having logged thousands of hours on and off Steam. It probably helped keep me sane, but I have a real hard time pinpointing how it has affected/improved/touched my current life now that I don't play games as much.
@alex3917 summarizes in comments below, and what are also similar reasons why I believe modern angular will “overtake” modern react/frameworks like next.

Angular in 2022 is simpler than react. It’s what react was in 2015 when Angular 1.x was a complicated and annoying beast.

Now, Angular is simple and pleasant; while my scaled, hooks infested, react apps make me feel like I’m handicapping myself.
Agreed! I stopped drinking at work event years ago in order to minimize the risk of bad stuff happening, and then stopped drinking entirely due to pregnancy/nursing, so I've no idea what I'd do with a bottle opener.

One of the nice things about remote-friendly companies these days is less pressure to be around alcohol-infused events.
Yes the movements in original Pac-Man were deterministic. There were books published back in the day that detailed the pattern you should take to beat each level. They were hard codes paths. There were a few variations and the only thing stopping you was your execution at higher and higher speeds. I got to the point on a Nintendo DS port of it where I could pretty much play forever (255 levels I think).

Ms. Pac-Man didn’t have this as the ghosts were not deterministic any longer.
>We issue fines, yes. We do not issue fines to an amount that would incentivize behavior change.

I see many euros on HN tutting about lax regulation, but no one in the EU seem willing to actually enfore the GDPR and levy a corporate death penalty if their brothers across the pond won't do the needful.

(I'm eligible for an Italian passport Jus sanguinis, though I had intended not to look into it until late in life -- maybe I should abandon my American one, and immediately lobby for the above to my new elected representatives, since everyone I've met from the world of spooks seems to obstruct me out of fear I'll expose their illegal behavior rather than do their damn job well enough I wouldn't notice how they spend their free time.)
I suspect you'll have much better results training on photos rather than videos. The individual frames of a video are often blurry, poorly composed, and uninteresting, but photos are much more carefully crafted.

Freezing/confiscating assets have been done under the judicial system. I understand that within a barbarian hoard there is also a judicial system or a system of values which state that anything goes during a war, but if that's the case, then why doesn't that apply to the 'west'? Putler said this was a war with the 'west', right?
I prefer “Bitcoiner”, I’m not into ‘crypto’, bro.
"labels are frequently less than 8 bytes long, and therefore fit inside a 64-bit register. So it probably isn’t worth dealing with the portability issues of working with wide vector registers (Especially since I could not find a quick way to load an arbitrary number of bytes into a vector register with AVX2 nor with NEON.)"

Prescription drugs are not included in Canada's healthcare system. Dental and optical aren't either. Each province has a drug program where people can pay a monthly fee (depending on income) and get drugs inexpensively (cost depends on income). For example, I pay $30/month for my provincial drug plan and never pay more than $15 for however many prescriptions I am picking up from the drug store. Some people pay for their own health insurance and others get it through their employer. Also, those on social assistance or over 65 are also on a similar provincial drug program.
The things you say after "Alexa" get recorded, and that is a not-great way to imply consent, considering a number of humans are named that.
I think people are desperately trying to figure out what your point is. Are you trying to demonstrate that you know what the word "organic" means? Or are you just talking about things you like? Do you like ice cream?
Agreed! Except in american (and increasingly global, english-influenced) vernacular the words "conservatism" and "liberalism" have begun to stray so far from their "original" meanings that they can no longer be trusted to accurately convey meaning.

The word for when there is no link is, in turn, 'coincidence'.

Nope. Hospitals and doctors are free, but prescriptions aren't.
Admittedly, my experience with MongoDB and Cassandra has gained some rust over the last decade, but what makes you say such nosql databases have expressive APIs? Compared to PostgreSQL they have miniscule query languages and it is very hard, if at all possible, to express constraints. And constraints, sometimes self-imposed sometimes not, are what makes projects successful, even startups. Many startups try to find this one little niche they can dominate. That is a self-imposed constraint. People tend to think freedom makes them creative, productive, and inventive, while in fact the opposite is the truth. With opposite of freedom I mean carefully selected constraints not oppression.
That's funny. There are a couple of Strava segments around town that are relevant here. One is 4.4% for only 0.4 miles (i.e. very similar to "Heartbreak Hill" on the Boston Marathon course); the other is 3.8% for 0.7 miles. As a runner I regularly pass cyclists on both, and that's from the minority who will even attempt them. I see many more walking their bikes, and I suspect the next street over from the shorter one has three to five times as many cyclists precisely because it goes around instead of over. Simply put, 5.7% for a mile is out of most cyclists' and runners' range, never mind the vast majority of the population who aren't either. I doubt even those who can handle it have "this isn't a hill" on their minds very much. Yes it damn well is a hill, and it's very noticeable even if you're one of those easy-mode folks who can build up speed at the start and coast down the other side at the end.
> Once you’ve got them, even if you’re more established, it would be crazy to leave them off of your resume, right?

For sure include them if they are relevant to the role or show real commitment to a topic. If you see a string of disperate certs though it's easy to assume the applicant doesn't know what they want to do.

Not saying I would discount someone on this alone but it would raise questions for the interview if they were otherwise qualified.

They also just need to provide enough stimulus to the users to keep them engaged. Whether that means posting, commenting, or just refreshing their feed, the end result is a) the user counts as active and b) the user is contributing, for free, to the overall content that gives the userbase as a whole a reason to keep coming back.

The 'secret' I learned from AdTech is that while the social media companies do need, to some extent, to be able to show their customers that buying ads provides value, what the social media companies need for themselves is just to keep the users engaged and coming back, generating content (posts and comments) for free so that there are pages in which to place ads and generate impressions.

Resources to become a better Software Engineer besides coding?
Hi all. I'm looking for resources, be it courses or books, on how to get better at my job.

I already know plenty of resources on how to make better code. But besides programming, I'm looking to become a better professional by itself. That is, being more reliable, to come up with better and more structured procedures, and to provide good services despite less than ideal contexts (which is, almost every company software project)

For starters, I got the book "How to Work Effectively With Legacy Code" for the technical part.
My guess is to read about scrum and agile.
Then about git flow and collaborative software projects.
Then a bit about devops so I know what platforms support the product I'm trying to make.

Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance
I don't think that's right? In theory you could have A and B that were naturally correlated and add a causal relationship between the two that exactly canceled that correlation but that would be infinity unlikely to happen by chance. In practice the only way that A and B can be correlated is that either A causes B, B causes A, or some C causes both A and B. Interestingly if both A and B cause C the C and A as well as C and B will be correlated but A and B won't be, allowing you to work out causation from a strictly correlational graph.
Is there a good way to load an arbitrary number of bytes (up to the vector size) into a vector register? As I said in the article, I could not find one when looking at AVX2 or NEON reference manuals. Getting the data from RAM is the main bottleneck for short strings, which DNS names usually are.

Well let's test this theory out then. Would you say I was being ridiculous if I told you that the number of people who drown in a year is linked to how many movies nicolas cage appears in?

If so, then you might not actually believe linked is simply a synonym for correlation. I know I certainly would think that was a ridiculous way to phrase it.
I guess that might be true if you define "free society" as "a society which maximizes the allowed types of financial transaction". In that case, I'm sure you'd agree that a truly free society is one in which people are born as slaves because their ancestors sold the labor of their descendants in perpetuity.
