I think the red squirrels are more at risk. https://www.northernredsquirrels.org.uk/red-or-grey/ says “Red squirrels weigh between 270-360g and with a head and body length of 19-23cm. Grey squirrels typically weigh between 400-720g with a head and body length of 25-30cm.”

That’s not a big difference (10%) between heavy red and lightweight grey squirrels. Also, that “typically” indicates the difference maybe smaller, or ranges may even overlap.
Because it’s very common for attributes to be optional but unique if specified e.g. your fleet management might have a 0-1:1 relationship between employees and cars, no car can be associated with 2 employees, an employee can’t have two cars, but any number of employee can be car-less, or car employee-less (lending pool, or cars which have not been attributed yet).

This also fits perfectly well with the normal interpretation / treatment of sql null as “not a value”.
Yeah, looks like the opposite of the writing app I wrote a few years back (https://enso.sonnet.io) where the point is to just keep writing with as much fluency as possible.

I think the main lesson from this is you should use a NOT NULL constraint on just about every column of your database, since the behaviour of NULLs is weird and likely to indicate a problem with your data.

Do you know that proper scheduling can work miracles with your income? Just imagine:

34% of patients managed to make an appointment outside working hours
And 26% of online appointments are made for the next day, filling empty slots and no-shows.
So, it hits the lights that 24/7 accessibility of an online booking for a patient is a must for your practice.

With new advancements in software and technology, hiring an appointment scheduler is an unnecessary expense. Practices now have a function of real-time scheduling, no matter where a patient is.
Except that this change means that the behaviour of nulls is not weird anymore!

The advantage of Gentoo Linux is you get to see lots of compiler output scrolling past instead of being able to do real work on it, so you look like a l33t h4xx0r.

The disadvantage is that everything is built from source, so it takes forever to install anything and it's very fragile, and it's a rolling release distro so you're installing stuff every single day and it's very fragile.

New Zealand has an educated, English speaking workforce, uses the English common law and actually has rule of law. They know how to do this. IKEA has stores in Vietnam, where all of those are much less true. They’re not going to learn much about international expansion they don’t know already. This is very different from a Canadian company opening up in the US, or a French one in Belgium. IKEA, and I presume Costco know how to do this already.

I guess I did take for granted that it includes a bit of calculus and discrete math. I have a little tip.

Once you refresh your knowledge of the greek alphabet, it’s not that scary. Math just needs a lot of symbols.

A good starting point would be infinite series, as this is the basis on which we imagine things bigger than a human lifetime. And it reminds us why we had to define a “limit” as a summation that strangely looks like ∑

It took me years to see the significance of arithmetic series, but as with any ∑, you have to start somewhere! (Often at -∞ and +∞)

The trick to all of it is that there are patterns declared by the underlying structures. There is not really a way to understand them without playing around with equalities and diagrams until you reach a certain zenlike moksha. Trust me, it is quite fulfilling!
Tech has started to absorb more and more Ivy/HYPS kids, many whom would have chosen a more traditional path (consulting/banking) before eventually going to graduate school. I guess the current pay is too good for many to pass out on - even though careers in finance and consulting will pay more, if you manage to climb all the way up.

But I guess it's the more "polished" post-MBA candidates from said schools that go on to become product managers, and eventually become executives.

What school you went to, what your 2-4 first years of work experience was like, and what business school you went to, seems to work pretty well when signaling potential and success - especially when trying to either come up with funding, or convincing some big corporation that you're the man to lead their product XYZ.

CVE-2022-32212 is the vulnerability related to the remote code execution

Quote from the release,
“ The IsAllowedHost check can easily be bypassed because IsIPAddress does not properly check if an IP address is invalid or not. When an invalid IPv4 address is provided (for instance 10.0.2.555 is provided), browsers (such as Firefox) will make DNS requests to the DNS server, providing a vector for an attacker-controlled DNS server or a MITM who can spoof DNS responses to perform a rebinding attack and hence connect to the WebSocket debugger, allowing for arbitrary code execution. This is a bypass of CVE-2021-22884.”

"yet no-one is calling for the speed limit to be drastically reduced"

Actually they have been, and fairly successfully - speed limits have been gradually and significantly reduced over the last few decades in built-up areas in many parts of the world. And I totally agree we need to do more to contain the risks of driving.

However, infectious diseases ARE qualitatively different from risks from traffic accidents, as the latter can't spread exponentially.

As far as there being "no reason" for any restrictions goes, the reality is there's no way to be sure the healthcare system won't reach a point where healthcare workers are constantly overworked just in order to be able to provide the extra care required for infected patients. If cases are not steadily decreasing (or at steady but negligible levels), that risk always exists. All restrictions/regulations have some balance of pros vs cons, and it's the job of governments to determine for which of them the balance is sufficiently on the "pro" side to enact and enforce them.
This is not what GP asked. AFAIK, it's not legal in the EU as long as the customer has a reasonable expectation that the subscription is not time-limited, i.e., if no time limitation is clearly mentioned when the subscription is purchased. There are often clauses in EULAs stating things like "our company has the right to terminate the subscription at any time for no reason" but these are generally void and can make the whole EULA void. Otherwise, it would be legal to sell software and simply switch it off after 6 months - or, after one month, or even after one day. Clearly, that would be fraud.

The question is rather which of the EU customers will/can afford to sue Steam. My guess is they'll offer a refund for those games before it comes to a law suit.
As I understand it, this isn't really a premium product in that sense.

Sure, they are different, but they aren't remotely similar to Latin either.

I can read Cyrillic with some effort, but when I see Cyrillic cursive I immediately give up. I can imagine that it's even more difficult for, say, a Chinese speaker to read Latin cursive.

That doesn't explain the shift towards sans-serif though. All the Chinese and Japanese fonts I accidentally ran into had Latin characters with serifs.
I don't know what point you're making. Should those models not be allowed to exist? Usually the way this goes is that a scientist proposes a model to describe something, and it's fine. When it goes wrong is usually when the public picks up that science and uses it to do something horrible.

The thing about self-segregation behaviour you mention is a basic fact of life, you can see it everywhere, all the time, chances are you've done it to yourself if you've ever been embedded in a different culture for any amount of time. It's interesting and potentially useful to build a scientific model out of it for analysis or other purposes. There's no problem at all with it until some politician thinks it allows them to be bigoted and oppressive.

If the actual 'science' implied in any way that people should be oppressed based on the models, it was obviously bad science and would not have stood the test of time in any case.

> If we used this line of logic with slavery, we'd still have plantations.

slaves are people.

Sorry to point it out, but it makes a little bit of difference to me.

But to further expand, the problem with slavery have been the USA, in Europe, for example, the Catholic Church, following the teachings of Tommaso D'Aquino (Thomas of Aquino for anglophones), considered it a sin and was practically abolished starting from the first centuries of high middle ages. It took USA 5 centuries to catch up with the civilized World.

So at the times an alternative WAS ALREADY AVAILABLE, but white Americans thought slavery was cool (it was also cheap for them).

Researchers do not think animal trials are cool, they know there is no alternative at the moment and would very much prefer to use something else.

"Tell me you don't understand social science, without telling me you don't understand social science." The point of these models is not usually to argue for the status quo. Often they're made as a simple sanity check. For instance, if even small incentives towards aggregation can lead to self-segregation, this changes the policies we would choose to try and create a different outcome.

Interesting paper. My first thought at a glance is that it would really benefit from a bit more detailed kinematic modelling, for example considering the approximately quadratic-in-velocity drag force (very important when talking about differing spear designs!) and computing approximate coefficients of drag. The main issue is that the force that muscles can generate is a function of velocity (higher contraction velocity, lower force) and hence the total specific impulse imparted to a spear is limited, but the power-time curve a human arm might be able to generate is complex and bounded within some physiological limitations. I'm sure you could go to town with this data (well, if you're an aerodynamicist, at least). Spears and the ilk are very nice shapes mathematically to play with.

I think it is neither important nor constructive. On the contrary I think this will only deepen conflicts as people perceive such rules to be biased, which they objectively almost always are, not only in this work.

I am also excited about this, although I am usually not translating full pages so I still mostly use Google Translate even for supported languages. It sounds like they are working on ways to translate sections of a page. I use the Right Click Search addon and select text to translate then "search" with Google Translate. There is a word limit but Google even helpfully provides a link to the next chunk if you exceed it.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/right-click-s...

The few times I've tried translating news articles in supported languages with the addon it seems to do really well, although it is understandibly (and like Google Translate) more hit and miss for less formal stuff and song lyrics (which can be nearly untranslatable considering how little sense they often make if you do understand the language :/). This is translating to English though, it sounds like translating between other languages goes through English currently.
I just downloaded it to try it out (I live abroad, so I rely heavily on these extensions). Works fantastic and the UI is nice. I appreciate that you can choose to translate just one tab as you browse.

But on some websites it starts duplicating words over and over. So, seems like there are some rough edges to work out. But I'm definitely keeping it installed for when it is ready to go!

> Also there should be a high correlation between kids being college-material and parents being college-material. Whether you believe in nature (genetics) or nurture (good parenting, high standards, role model, access to education, etc), or a mix of both, either way, you should not expect the % of college students from graduate families to match the % of graduate families in the country. So not sure what point the article makes

Just because something can easily be explained using logic doesn't mean that it's outcomes can't be negative. Perhaps this indicates that our society is further stratifying into different classes and upward mobility is being reduced for a portion of the population which I think most people would agree is a bad thing

Why is null weird? Null means unknown. It's perfectly valid.
> "this service should run successfully at least once every X hours, but is fine to fail multiple times otherwise"

This should work if you set the period to "X hours", and send success signals only, no failure signals. In that case, as long as the gap between the success signals is below X hours, all is well. When there's been no success signal for more than X hours, Healthchecks sends out alerts.

I'm guessing you probably also want to log failures using the /fail endpoint. And, the problem is, when Healthchecks receives a failure event, it sends out alerts immediately.

One potential feature I'm considering is a new "/log" endpoint. When a client pings this endpoint, Healthchecks would treat it as neither a success nor a failure, and just log the received data. You could then use this endpoint in place of /fail. Just logging the failure would not cause any immediate alerts. But the information would be there for inspection, when X hours passes with no success signals and you eventually do get alerted. How does that sound?

That looks pretty accurate for the tier of companies that are valuing devs to a nothing. Old derelict european companies mostly that believe managers are the kings and everyone else is a cost center. Hell even functional pm or agile coach get better salaries than good devs. This is why europe cannot compete with usa (hell not even with canada or australia)

If you want to make double triple that it is simple. Work for an american company in europe or have some friend in a european company that will make you manager while your job is to underpay talent in tech.

In most systems that do this, my 1 star review is countered by another 1 star review.

I had a contractor fail to do the simplest possible task (write a XML layout for a login screen). Gave him a 1 star. He threatened to give me a 1 star too if I didn't change the review, and did so as promised.

However, I have seen owners explain that certain reviews were part of a targeted attack to damage the owner's reputation, so I think it's the fairest approach.

“Valid” and “weird” are orthogonal concepts.

That sql null is valid doesn’t make its behaviour of not being equal to itself any less weird, because it works that way essentially nowhere else, and thus is highly unintuitive to developers who don’t live and breathe sql.
