its simple: they dont
Yes, it is, but IIRC the term "airborne" can also refer to disease particles that can survive in the air unencapsulated (such as certain fungi), and can therefore travel quite some distance, and can remain hanging in the air for hours.

Aerosols are heavier than air, and therefore have a very limited range and duration in which the virus can remain "airborne" in common parlance.

(edit: expanded the definition to include more than just viruses as I couldn't find an example of a virus that can survive unencapsulated)
Yea, it has it quirks (every language does) and does show it's age in things.

I didn't mind the language itself, but the application I worked on was inventory related, which was mind-numbingly boring.

I was thinking like an application of JSON that would be more likely to be produced by stringify than by concatenation. Then escaping would come "for free". It wouldn't guarantee the right thing but it would make it much more likely.

Can't speak for the OP but I really liked it. It reminded me a bit of the computer game Human Resource Machine[0], which creates a mini assembly language that you use to handle a "production line" of incoming numbers.

>SCOTUS has never determined that "bearing" means that any disposition of a firearm is acceptable; they have repeatedly determined that the Second Amendment does not extend a universal right to brandish (or not brandish) a firearm in any way you please.

Carrying is not brandishing. Hot take there!

Did you really just try and cherry pick Heller vs DC to pretend carry is not protected? Read the words you posted...

prohibitions have been upheld.

And the hilarious next sentence Scialia uses that restores the context to tried to omit:

The Court’s opinion should not be taken to cast
doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of fire-arms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of
arms.

Yes, a state can prohibit for felons, mentally ill, etc. If you stopped reading the rest of the opinion, and didn't go on to read McDonald v Chicago 2010, this still implies that a state will allow concealed carry for law abiding citizens.

The two options are:

1. You are hard-line and wrong, where all the states with concealed carry now including CA, HI, NJ, MD that will issue permits are respecting civil rights.

2. Everyone has it wrong but you!, in which case, this is surely frustrating.

Either way... Concealed carry exists and shall-issue is now the minimum law of the land. More states going to constitutional carry every year.

Turns out your desire convince people using frantic posts and omissions doesn't actually change anything. Crazy huh?

EDIT: Here is a cool gif that shows states over time. It'll now need to be updated to remove all the may-issue states.

> That is left to the states, and it is not a violation of an ammendment

Not alcohol specifically, but any law that appears to promote a state religion. Like I said, alcohol sale restrictions are hard to prove as being motivated solely by religion. There are crime reduction, public health and safety, labor safety considerations too. I imagine the bar/restaurant lobby is also influential.
Legally you're not liable for something someone does while impersonating you

This unfortunately isn't true. It also sounds like he created an app key from his root account that enabled anyone to literally impersonate him.

A typical use case is to create a user that has only the specific rights that are needed and generate an app key for that user. For example, I have a user that can only read S3 buckets. If it were to leak, the worst that would happen is I would leak some encrypted backup data.

I did a podcast [1] and edited it myself, at first with Garage Band and then with Audacity. I used Audacity's package of audio processing. After learning the hot keys, I got reasonably proficient with it.

I'm not doing it anymore, but I'd be curious what suggestions you'd have.

(I have no idea what "ducking / side chain" means.)

For 99% of projects you're never going to hit the point a single server (or group of servers if you truly need redundancy for some level of uptime) can't handle the load. For the other 1% that end up needing that scale I have a hard time accepting it's actually better to start building for massive scale day 1 instead of day 1000.

> Statistically speaking you are much more likely to have a family member die from that firearm in your home you claim is there for protection when compared to the threat of the hypothetical burglar you are protecting your family against.

I think this depends a lot of where you are.

Most of the statistics I've seen has fairly overwhelming support for preventative effects of being armed.

Also, handguns are one of the most powerful forces for equality we've had in modern history.

A smaller woman or man is no longer dependent on a stronger person for defense. Guns are a great equalizer.

As Heinlein said, "An armed society is a polite society".
In postgres there usually no good reason to use varchar unless you specifically want to enforce size limits. If you don't care use TEXT, the performance is the same.

Cool, thank you for the clarfication!
Plus PG and SQLite3 have fundamentally different approaches to types.

SQLite3 has very few types, you cannot create new types, and is duck-typed.

PG has many built-in types, you can create new types, and is (mostly) statically typed.

You really have to know this going in. If you have to support both, you'll probably have to write two versions of your SQL -- or you'll end up using an ORM that supports the two RDBMSes, and then you may get stuck with the ORM.

SQLite3 is amazing, but it's mainly amazing because of how easy it is to embed in apps. If that's what you need, use SQLite3. If you need more power, if you're building a server, then think long and hard about why not just go straight to PG.

EDIT: SQLite3 is amazing for other reasons too.
The evangelism is even bad. It was more coherent and convincing back when the browser was better.
Agreed on most of that, but this is not always right: "cursing your predecessor for not having that foresight to realize that a number might grow beyond 999"

My dad was a COBOL developer in the 60s and 70s, and I asked him about this during the Y2K panic. Back then, the cost per byte was extremely high. Even if they had thought people would be foolish enough to keep systems running for decades, they still would have gone with 2 digits for the year because they needed those bits for other things.

Looking up the numbers now, in 1969 IBM was selling magnetic disk drives for circa $1/KB[1] at a time when programmers were making ~$200/week[2]. Top data speed was something like 300KB/s. The CPUs processing the data cost the equivalent of 5-10 programmer's salaries to rent. So throwing out the century, a 25% savings on date data storage, was a no-brainer. Not just for the tech people, but from a management perspective. Imagine asking, "How about we fire a couple of our developers so we can buy another drive and make sure this is easy to develop on 50 years from now?"

Not really.

The real ideology behind the semantic web is that you can use something like RDFS to rewrite the vocabulary somebody else uses to what you want... Except there are a number of reasons why you can't, for instance it is reasonable to write

:Today :temperatureInCentigrade 28.8 .

but maybe you want to query

:Today :temperatureInFahrenheit 84.0 .

The production rule to convert one to another is pretty simple, and you can implement it with SPIN, but not RDFS or OWL. Similarly there are data formats that organize a tree-like structure in an arbitrary way and to convert one to another you have to match a graph pattern to a graph pattern not a predicate to a predicate.

The whole fun of RDF is it is a clean basis to build your own data model. Want to add some kind of reification? Just add properties to triples.

I look at the OMG standards for an example where broken standards are par for the course because a few organizations fix the standards and can build proprietary tools on them. For instance the claimed reason why EMOF exists is that you could bootstrap UML 2 from it. It's not quite possible because the standard is broken. I'm pretty sure you can fix a few small things with EMOF and get it to work but it's not accidental it all it doesn't work out of the box.

The semweb community is absolutely sick of the standards process which is one more reason why broken things don't get fixed.
You have to advocate. And you have to do your own research. I would be dead if I hadn’t.

You will also be called a hypochondriac at every single stage if you do any of that. By doctors, by family. Everyone. You will be told endlessly that it’s just anxiety.

Family that had been frankly abusive were shocked when I started getting positive results back and responding to treatment.

Some of the issues were genetic.

So several Members of the family that have been dismissing me went and got tested.
They were testing positive for the same conditions and that explained a lot of the weirdness in their life.

Also sad to hear how a lot of my relatives died fairly young in horrible agony from same symptoms But everyone just dismissed it. No one thought that maybe it’s all related.
> A half decent accommodation will run you 30k if renting, or more like 60k for a mortgage at todays rates for a median cost SFH. Add in various insurance payments, car and home maintenance, the odd medical bill,

Disregarding medical bill, yes, if you spend your money on luxuries, you will have less of it.

> Second and more importantly, they are spending on whatever the fuck they want. You do realize you’re going to die, yes?

Ok, so, clearly people are spending their money, which is why they are paycheck to paycheck?
Donating plasma might make you money in the US, but I'm 100% sure in the EU (or at least some parts of it) it is not legal to be offered money for this.

Yes, also because any secretary worth his/her salt has a hidden unique power: forwarding emails to the correct people who can handle them.
This is more about situations where one person would benefit from the relationship and the other person couldn’t care less. You think Travis Kalanick cares if someone pitching him says “he’s not worth my time?” But that person benefits a lot from his response.

> Everywhere else in the world, when you hire someone, you ask to see their previous work. It is universally the best signal, you don't have a carpenter build a chair on site, you look at what they've built and talk to them about it. And you certainly don't ask them to build a chair in a style they have never done before, you just see if you like their style.

This analogy is flawed. Software engineers work in teams on any project of worthwhile complexity, even open source ones. It's not simple to parse out what your contributions are.

To validate expertise, universally, everywhere else in the world, many professions have licenses, certifications, and governing bodies. They rarely take your word for it. See lawyers, doctors, civil engineers, dentists, architects, etc. etc.. Software engineering has none of these things, and until the field matures, we use adhoc methods. From prior experience, I disagree that the best method in finding competent engineers is to simply talk to them about projects. This is easy to fake, and you may even have colleagues you've suspected of doing so.
To me, a PHP file in an Apache server which includes some JS counts as full stack. To me, fullstack = frontend + backend.

I don't think Django counts as full-stack, as you don't have a default front-end framework, like Rail's Stimulus.

Agreed - I think a lot of responses in this thread get it exactly right.

The assumption from the OP is that they are in position of power (however defined), and that "it's no skin off their back" if somebody's request is missed. They have the luxury to adopt a (to others seemingly) random and specific uncommunicated threshold, and enforce it.

That is true, in a very specific subset of cases and situations.

That is empathically not true, in a very large set of cases and situations.

If you are the one sending the email, then typically you are the one that wants/needs something, ergo you are typically the one that is responsible to get it done / follow-up. That's a generalization but a useful one.

(In particular, the notion of "if you follow up several times, you're going into kill file" is again only applicable for a very specific set of situations. Your boss, client, spouse, friend, partner, lover, lawyer, parole officer, tax auditor, teacher, et cetera would probably not react kindly to enforcement of such rule).

As if any of that mattered in the end. The Supreme Court ruled how it did because it's dominated by religious conservatives that don't like abortion.

Your Psion 5 battery numbers sound about right. In comparison, a new Macbook Air can play 18 hours of video on a single charge. Thirty-five years ago, the Radio Shack Model 100 could run for that long on a set of 4 AAs. It should be possible to make an ultra-low power device that can run the Psion 5 apps (ie simple apps) that can go for weeks on a single set of batteries or charge.

I really miss the Psion 5 / Radio Shack Model 100 / eMate class of devices. I think they are still better in some respects than modern Android-phone-with-a-keyboard devices.

> I don't know what this could mean, beyond a tautological, "smarter would be wasteful, dumber would be dangerous"

Yes. (I like to say "evolution is a chemical tautology".)

> But every property of an animal could be described that way. height, weight, speed, etc. intelligence isn't singled out that way, so the description doesn't provide insight or leverage.

Ah, but that's just it: intelligence has been singled out, "only human brains are intelligent" is the prevailing dogma, eh? Are you familiar with Levin's work?

> > intelligence is ambient in living tissue

> What does this mean?

Cells think, particularly when they are organized in colonies like biofilms or organisms.

Operationally, it means things like being able to regenerate limbs and organs. In humans that is.

I can't really do a decent summary of Levin et. al.'s research this morning (I woke up hella grumpy.) But if you haven't, do check it out. (E.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18736698 )

> A skin cell is doing something like a random walk, and thermodynamics lets it fall down energy gradients.

Only on the most physical level, same as every other chemical reaction, eh? "When you kick a rock it moves from the energy imparted by your foot. When you kick a dog it moves by it's own stored energy." I don't know if cells are little people or just robots, but their behavior isn't adequately described by thermodynamics alone, eh?

> The random walk fall down gradients theory has no explanatory power for people.

Nor for cells.

> How can the same word be useful at both levels?

It's describing the same phenomenon.

> How does a notion of cellular intelligence get aggregated/relate to/describe any notion of the emergent mind at the descriptive level of humans.

This is a fascinating question.

To be sure, Levin et. al. are going the other way, showing that what we think of as the machinery of mind is present in all cells, (and therefore IMO we should expect "mind" whatever it is to be happening in all cells too.)

Consider that every ability of a multicellular organism is an ability of its cells. Motility, digestion, homeostasis, sensory modalities, etc. This includes "mind" (if you define mind as what brains do) because "what brains do" is actually done by all cells to some degree (they all have synapses and neurotransmitters and internal computation and some kind of self-model.)

How it happens that the vision of each retina cell combines to make a subjective view, is likely how it happens that the mind of your cells creates the mind of you. In a sense they are the same thing. Dunno how it happens though.

Biofeedback research in the 60's and 70's seemed to show that you could learn to communicate with your own tissues down to individual cells.

Sorry, "corruption" was probably misleading there. By "silent data inconsistency/corruption" I mean, "a bug in my application led to me storing strings in an integer column, or too-long data in a too-short column, and SQLite just silently let me do that"-type errors – the data consistency is logically (but not physically) corrupted. The author encountered 2 separate occurrences of this just in their simple use-case, evidently.
> I live by the rule that if it’s important, the sender will follow up.

And I live by the rule that narcissistic assholes who don't value my time don't deserve that second email.

You can at least acknowledge the email to say you'll reply later, saving everyone grief (not to mention another 4 followup emails cramming up your inbox even further, if Alex Guzey is to be believed).
On the flip side, I get about ~2.3k emails a day.

If I've not responded to your first email - I could have passed over it. If I haven't responded to your second and third emails, I'm not interested and continuing to contact me is just spam.

I use filters and tags to categorize my email so its very unlikely that I'd ever miss an email I wanted to read. The person in the article seems like they have some kind of executive disfunction when it comes to dealing with communications - which is entirely understandable, many people do. But it's on them to find the methodology to cope with that, not on other people to keep re-sending reminders to read a message they've already sent.
multi-track is actually great, since if one speaker makes some noise while the other is talking, you can just silence it.

> what exactly do you do when you have failure

Depends on the failure. What do you have in mind?

> when more than one process need to acces the DB

Easy, you use `journal_mode` set to `WAL` when you connect to the sqlite database.

> when you need RBAC

If you need RBAC, you aren't going to be using sqlite. In theory you could have your application handle the RBAC part since sqlite is embedded in your application.

Another solution is to leverage unix users and groups and set permissions appropriately for the database file and the application running.

I think it depends on the individual, but for example my grandfather lived completely healthy life till his 89 and was donating his O- blood frequently his entire life. And by frequently I mean at least 6x a year.
False positives surely exist, but in my experience the challenges are rigorous enough and preparation requires enough patience, that there's a certain competency floor here that makes this less of a problem for the company. Every single engineer I met there ranged from competent to "10x", contrary to a neighboring comment.

I do think there's something of an obsession to minimise false positives at the expense of false negatives. The companies are succeeding at this, which I find foolhardy as they lose the opportunity to hire even more of the high performers who can't or won't jump through the hoops.
I can't imagine the physical and psychological damage women that were raped have to deal on a daily basis. We should castrate those men and let them in prison for the rest of their lives but the baby is not responsible of this heinous act.

You know that less than 1% of abortion cases are because cof these evil acts. Even if there's an intent on having a discussion (you could do a quick search on yt) on the premise of allowing abortions for those cases, pro-abortion people use rape and incest cases to justify the 99% which are not because of that.
