Because tons of children will be born to parents that do not want them. They are not guaranteed to be adopted, and could be tossed into a foster system that is rife with physical and sexual abuse. There are many paths here that can lead to destitution, homelessness, lack of education, lack of compassion, lack of guidance, and exploitation.

Once the baby is born, the people who forced that baby to be born no longer care about them. They are no longer a political pawn. In fact, they will continue to attack the social safety nets and programs that they could end up relying on to survive. Safe sex education so that this child doesn't have a baby? NO! That goes against the Bible.

This is advantageous sometimes to the Christian nationalist cause, as they may be adopted by large fundamentalist families or lured towards religious charities that ARE subsidized through the state. Sounds crazy, but you should hear how some of these extremists talk. It's borderline child trafficking.

It's funny you mention cutting up your insides. That's propaganda. Most abortions are done with pills, up to more than 12 months. What happens? It comes out as a heavy flow. That's it. Most people don't wait until they have an noticeable baby-bump to have an abortion. Most propaganda about the operation is dishonest, exaggerated, and straight up propaganda.

Another fun fact is that these abortion laws are extremely draconian. Some have no exceptions for rape and/or incest. Meaning that rapists will and have been given parental visitation rights. Children victims can even be forced into this situation, disgusting.

Had a miscarriage? That can now be investigated as a crime. Police can now get your messages, location data, search history, hard drives, and search your house.

This is theocratic insanity, in America. Feels like Iran.

You're right, only two loops.

It is still messy, though. And "it has SIMD" is not really a sufficient explanation for the messiness. I think of -O3 as a kind of "throw everything at the wall and see what sticks". You're pressing a button that makes your code big, messy, and fast (although not always big, not always messy, and not always fast).

You can spend as much time as you like explaining the reasoning behind these code transformations, but in the end, there are very good reasons why people don't use -O3 as the default optimization level.

I'm sorry, but this is a misunderstanding.

You give me a problem, tell me the desired solution and I figure it out on my own.

What I can provide you with is an optimized, compiled block of assembly code, with source, which solves your problem fast.

What I require is a problem (you've stated it) and how the solution is supposed to look like/how the desired output is supposed to be presented/etc.

I feel like you didn't actually do that.

I guess the software you've linked is supposed to help me; I'll have a look at that. Usually, though, the problem itself is enough, though. Looking at other peoples work messes with creativity.

Anyhow, can you execute a block of compiled assembly code? Then all I need is access to the data, how it's laid out and what it is you actually want the code to do. In return you'll get a wacky, working solution you can just plug in.

If you can't call compiled binary directly, there's still a way around that using shared memory and having my code run in a separate process.

Anyway, I've thought about this. You definitely want the data to be moved? You don't want just more efficient access to it? That'd been trivial to do. If you don't want that, because of cache reasons, then there's a trivial way of not destroying the cache, as long as you know how to access registers directly. Or I can still drop it in-place, I guess.

I'm sure we'll get there. I guess next time I need to lay out what's actually "in store".
What system does?
You hit every high point of my own experience but there are caveats.
1. If you have to do on prem then virtualize and package till you can wash, rinse repeat.
2. Secure systems with k8s are a thing: Stigged k8s, stigged host systems, mtls, psp, network policy, MAC integration - this makes k8s really unpleasant to deal with if you come from pub cloud, pub k8s provider. See #1.
3. Performance: dns sucks and it sucks for all kinds of reasons: usually avoidable with node local caching approaches, but sometimes not.
4. Yes: Big clusters...until you need federation.

There is a huge difference between slowing the growth (or even stopping the growth) and destroying a city.

A usual problem with successful cities is they attract more people, which attract more business, which attract more people and so on. It's time we learn how to keep the economy in good health without our cities turning to anthills.

Right. That’s what I meant. I use Safari on Mac/iOS because it’s so fast (among other things).

Facebook ads have brought some of the most positive products and positive changes to my life. Sometime I literally go on Facebook just for the ads to see what else is out there for me in terms of personal development and life improvement.

I started my current business originally from a program I bought through Facebook ads. I spent a half a year following Tony Robbins around, which had a huge positive impact on my life thanks to a Facebook ad.

I recently got out of a funk due to a Facebook ad for a support group of people going through what I was going through.

I would be really sad to see Facebook ads go and I don’t think there are other places I would have found these services that I did find.

I can honestly say, I don’t know where my life would be if there were not Facebook ads, but I do not think it would be in such a positive place for sure..

Late term abortions are almost all wanted babies where something has gone horribly wrong for the baby, the mother, or both. There are also vanishingly few of them.
Maybe if the state enforced birth crowd adopted some post-birth childcare policies that weren't pure social darwinism and rugged individualism, less people would want to abort...
This isn't really true.

Justice Roberts is "Catholic" but has voted against his religion every time on this issue, and would have spared Roe in his opinion if possible.

Justice Sotomayor is also "Catholic" but has also voted against her religion every time on this issue.

Justice Barrett is "Catholic" but is a member of "People of Praise," a group which many Catholics find suspicious on both sides, both for not being progressive but also being very charismatic and untraditional in its liturgical style.

Justices Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh are all Catholic, but aren't really voting the way a full-on Catholic-everywhere would. Alito and Kavanaugh have said they aren't interested in revisiting the constitutionality of birth control and same sex marriage at this point, and Kavanaugh voted 6-3 with the rest of SCOTUS that gender orientation was protected by the Civil Rights Act which upset many more devout Catholics.

If we don't see a birth, we'll turn it over to the police, and make your identity public (no private medical data needed, just that we have reason to believe you had an abortion) so that anyone in a state with a Texas-style law can sue you for $10,000 apiece, making your losses unlimited. Are you sure you want that abortion now?"
The only plus I can see is a focus on DLNA might make DLNA not _strictly_ garbage. In reality if you don't want to use Plex and don't need to rely on DLNA, there's other options out there like Jellyfin or Emby.
This video from Reason.com does a great job in explaining what is happening in these big cities[1]. I see it as the major downside to utopian thinking, you miss the bigger picture for the small, less significant details.

They don't want an apartment project because of a litany of small, sometimes insignificant issues that get dragged out. I'm sure the activist feel righteous in thinking that they are keeping the big bad mega developer from building apartments that gentrify the community.

This line of thinking misses big picture, if you want more affordable homes, you need more supply. On the one hand you can say that this is in fact a complex multi faceted issue and the activists may not be understanding the way their actions will backfire. But on the other hand you think there is no way, there is no way someone does not see the most basic of economic principles at work: supply and demand.

In the UK, the largest Christian denomination is the Church of England, with Her Majesty as the figurehead - and while they oppose abortion, their stance is [1]
"The Church of England's stated position combines principled opposition with a recognition that there can be strictly limited conditions under which abortion may be morally preferable to any available alternative. "

I assume that being an Established Church makes a difference too. We don't do separation of church and state the same way over here, after all that was one of the things the newly independent states of America decided to make very clear they were going to do differently from Britain, so the UK and USA are very different in this regard.

As an emacs user, I can confirm this is absolutely the case except on the bottom edges of an elevated keyboard, where you can palm press which is the most comfortable.

We already deprive entire categories of humans of human rights: minors. And that's just fine. Minors can't vote or exercise many rights that adults can.

I see no problem with depriving fetuses of all human rights.

A pregnancy may not be viable. That's just a fact. A fetus can die inside the womb. Miscarriages happen.

There is also this post on the nursing subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/nursing/comments/vm3cau/many_lives_...

"We had a woman with an ectopic walk in at 11:30 pm last night. We had to basically sit on her until the doc could speak with a lawyer. Her ectopic ruptured. She then did not get her procedure done for another 9 hours bc the doc was working with the lawyer for so long trying to work around the laws and not lose his license. By the time she had her procedure she had over 600cc of blood in her abdomen. She almost died."

I cannot imagine myself letting a woman die through no fault of her own because of an abstract principle.
Love this but let’s go deeper here. “Tell me about the coffee situation.. what coffee do the team members that drink coffee drink day to day, and where does it come from?”

As a consultant once on a due diligence gig at a medium-sized quasi-tech company in the Midwest, on the day I arrived, one smart and charming QA engineer took me aside and shared “the free coffee in the micro kitchens is crap, here’s our [employee-provided] coffee pot on a filing cabinet in the corner, please drink as much as you want”. That told me, among other things, this was a decent team in a mediocre company..

> Most of us will never have the resources to actually do it

I've done it via funemployment and it gets boring after a while... I needed to recover from a decade of grinding and get finally get some much needed medical procedures done (in the US no less), and the biggest hurdle was my inability to actually 'unplug,' it took nearly a year. I had mild to severe anxiety for no explicable reason other than not being used to being 'calm,' and I would be on edge thinking the worst was was about to occur and I started to just look for fires to put out.

It was incredibly unsettling but therapeutic in a way; luckily I'm better now, and I feel like I'm capable of getting back to things that require more effort than what I've been doing as of late. I got back into to school in that time and started to venture outside of Fintech, which is the only domain of tech that I know.

I don't think this is a very practical suggestion. FAANG are the winners and hold all the cash, which is why this is actually an issue. Asking someone to essentially try for a lottery ticket chance (in the best case) of repeating this success as a qualification for criticism is like telling people: "If you don't like America, you can get out"

Just like you never want to be the smartest person in a room, you never want to be the one pushing a language to its limits.

IMHO when you’re providing language patches you probably choose the wrong language.
Choice of language is never purely technical because almost all popular ones are good enough for most use cases. So the choice becomes down to preference and experience on behalf of the engineers.

Email is fundamentally different from ticketing systems in that the primary goal is communication, though email often serves as an ephemeral database also. With ticketing systems it’s the reverse, communication is incidental instead.

Addendum: It’s actually better, in my experience, to treat ticketing systems like communication tools instead of issue tracking databases. In fact one of the more common sources of contention is engineers coming from a documenting/databasing point of view, and other system users approaching it more like a web forum.

So maybe not the usual stories. But there are all sorts of stories.
There are over a million abortions performed every year in the US. If your belief is that these are humans with all the rights of any other human, that’s a staggering human rights issue.

The concept of viability is legal fiction. Given the technology, there’s no reason a fetus couldn’t live at any stage of development and likewise, until about age 3 or so, no child will live without external support. Culturally, we celebrate “birth”, but that event has nothing to do with life.

On the other end is the necessity to support the life of a mother. While unfortunate, I think that’s a rare time that terminating a pregnancy is appropriate. That doesn’t mean lifestyle or convenience, though. That’s situations where only one or fewer people will make it alive if nothing is done. This represents a fraction of one percent of abortions. Other abuses may fall into this category.
