There are two "blank" integers: 0 is the identity element under addition, 1 is the identity element under multiplication. Or worded differently 0 is a blank addend, 1 is a blank multiplier.

‘’ would be the identity element for string concatenation, or any other string manipulation method I can think of, so it has a stronger claim on being blank than a 0 has.

Unless your string is later parsed as something else. A blank JSON value would look differently from a blank phone number.
Strengthening government identification would only be reasonable after the US has the equivalent of the GDPR. As it stands right now, doing so would just be another vulnerability for private surveillance companies to abuse just as they've abused social security numbers, driver's license numbers, and even phone numbers.

Your last statement would be better written as:
Because NULL values are of unknown equality, they may or may not violate UNIQUE constraints.

The safest implementation would assume that they do violate the constraint, rather than the current behavior assuming they don’t.

In practice I don’t think I’ve ever added a unique index on a nullable column where null might imply unknown. I have used it in cases where null meant “none”.
Ironically many of those older people didn't want to be helped. It was sad to hear the stories of people locked up in nursing homes who were not allowed to see family members for months and months, only to die anyway when Covid inevitably hit.
For simplicity let’s assume a static equilibrium (i.e. the rate of degree holders doesn’t change across cohorts and people don’t marry outside of their class).

Obviously in such case the probability to get a degree if your parents have a degree are 20% (in 1970) and 66% (in 2020).

Now let’s calculate the probabilities to get a degree if your parents don’t have a degree:

1970: 0.04*0.8/0.96 = 3.33%

2020: 0.14*0.34/0.86 = 5.53%

Even a “whooping” 1.7 increase doesn’t make much of a difference.
Describing a state of affairs is different from stating whether it is good or not. I don't believe I've seen people cheering anything on, much more identifying that Binance might be in big trouble due to all the potential consequences of their actions.

I am confident that many people here, fundamentally, understand the cruel and arbitrary nature of Iranian sanctions and would like to see them be less so. But that doesn't change the idea that, as of right now, this legal issue could be very major.

To avoid jams by slowing the typist down, among other ways. The way you would speed up, I imagine, would be by knowing where all the keys were in relation to each other, and knowing whether you had more or less time between presses for the path to be cleared for the next.

edit: I was great at jamming manual typewriters when I was a kid, because when I was unsure of the next character, I wouldn't release the previous key fast enough; I would rest on it for a fraction of a second. Bad habits.
I don't know if the output is correct but I prompted openai:

This FFmpeg command will take your HDR video and convert it to an SDR video using the libx264 codec with a CRF value of 18.```

I think the issue here is that your critique is way out of proportion to reality; Calibre is... fine. It's not great; but it does the job perfectly well for lots of people. It does lots of things. It does most of them fine. It does some well, some badly. I could say the same thing about the gimp. You come off as just having an axe to grind here for no good reason; and negative comments like this do cause people to stop contributing.

If you don't like it, just.. don't. use it.
I'm very skeptical it will ever take off: the wear and tear of your high performance, high density, mobility optimized battery that has a unique vendor that tightly controls the spare parts market for maximum profit would be much more expensive then intra-day price differentials of the energy market.

On the long run you are effectively competing against industrial scale storage operations that use exceptionally large infrastructure, optimized for low cost, lower density chemistries (Sodium instead of Lithium), with charge profiles optimized for very high number of daily cycles, or even multiples per day etc.

So even if grid battery storage becomes the main thing stabilizing the renewable grid, it still makes little sense to use your car for that, except in emergencies, a "virtual energy supplier", you are paid for the availability, not the actual delivery.
Sure, I tried to caveat "almost everyone" and "home office space quality varies wildly." Of course, if you don't have the space at home, or have a toddler running around, or specific hardware needs, that all makes perfect sense.

Suggesting that I give up -- admit it -- a LOT of personal freedom and convenience, when Chinese companies spew emissions equal to HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE -- and have no real incentive to change -- is like trying to empty the ocean with an eyedropper, while someone else is emptying buckets into it. Your "cheap excuse" is precisely the kind of "bad person" inference that I was alluding to. People like you seem to value altruism at MANY orders of magnitude than the people you are disparaging. And, hey, that's great, and all, but we just think you're bad at math.
It's a bit more than that. One under-appreciated component of universal, compulsory education is that there is an ingrained cultural acceptance that kids go to school and at least attempt to learn.

Absolutely agree. Tron is in such a weird place for me in that neither movies were particularly great or rank very high in my list of favorite films, yet they both have had a profound impact on me.

There’s a lot of data showing the importance of a school-like environment in acquiring language and social skill for young children, who were in no real danger from COVID and poor spreaders on top of that.

I keep seeing people arguing that school isn’t important, but also against things like school choice and I really wonder what’s motivating them.
Most colleges actually do track this metric - generally it's reported as "first-generation students." (Generally defined as parents without a four-year degree, not parents with zero college education, but same concept.) Here's Harvard's press release for the class of 2026, saying "Students who will be in the first generation of their family to graduate from a four-year college or the equivalent represent 20.3 percent of this year’s admitted class."
https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2022/03/harvard-to-ex...

Yale doesn't report this statistic as far as I could find, although I found a blurb that says "more than one out of every six" (https://admissions.yale.edu/advice-first-generation-college-...).

Princeton's class of 2025 was 22% first-generation (https://www.princeton.edu/news/2021/04/06/extraordinary-year...).
The section about waterfall being the only SDLC is interesting because it touches on the economics of shipping and software engineering practices:

Continuous delivery only makes sense if the value of new feedback and delivered software is higher than the total cost of delivery. If you have to mail a floppy disk to each customer, that's a lot more expensive than just updating your production servers.
I started grad school in 1993 and felt completely lost as a child of working class parents.
The 1970 stats are just saying that of the 4% of people who held a degree, 20% had parents who also had a degree (the 20% is a subset of the 4%, the 2 numbers are not directly comparable). This in fact means that graduates-with-degreed-parents were rarer than graduates without.

This situation has changed when we look at 2020. The overall number of degree holders is still relatively low compared to overall population (14%) but of this number a full 2/3rds now have degreed parents. The situation within this group has reversed.

Junior team members, the ones that are supposedly most eager to come to the office, are working from home more than the allowed maximum.

Ha, I've seen the same thing. I have two junior-ish reports, and when we started the discussion of eventual return to office last year they both said they would be in all the time to soak up the team building and culture establishment they missed out on. We returned to voluntary office work for those that wanted it three months ago and neither one has made it in a single day, they have stayed full remote (and they get their work done so I couldn't care less.)
That's actually pretty nice, only a shame since I still find that 7 days is a short timespan to require manual action for something otherwise nicely automated

We have similar liquor/beer/wine laws in Georgia. Recently they did away with no sales on Sunday and some local “mimosa” brunch laws that allow restaurants to sell alcohol before 12:30. Good forbid someone drinking watching sports before church gets out.

Anyway, grocery stores will turn off the beer cooler lights on Sunday morning and put a note with the time they will be able to sell it.
I will repeat comment you responded to: Series director Shakhnazarov is one of the ultra pro-war and pro-Putin celebrities. He’s almost daily on Russian TV spewing hatred against Ukrainians, Americans, minorities. Be careful. It’s tempting to say “not all Germans”, but this case is clear-cut.

Your link is not showing ANYTHING to cancel out the above or undo the damage. He is still spewing hatred. There is literally no goalposts movement, except yours.

Lets quote Shakhnazarov in state TV saying approvingly: "The opponents of the letter Z must understand that if they are counting on mercy, no, there will be no mercy for them. [...] There will be concentration camps, re-education, sterilisation of those who oppose the letter Z". This is him saying what should happen.

It's a real law enforcement term, even though it has no pharmacological value. Hard drugs are just controlled substances that come with larger punishment.

There are also some incorrect definitions being peddled by law enforcement like higher chance of addiction, however hard drugs like LSD clearly contradict that.

As far as this article goes, I read it and I'm not sure what part of the hard drug meaning was meant to be communicated here.
That game will get worse over time as people optimize for it too. It'll be a matter of trying to guess what's going to be in demand but not so in demand that people are training for it because they are also trying to choose a career that's in demand. And as usual, those with the better information and means to switch paths or take multiple shots will be the ones who can come out ahead.
For some, hybrid work is becoming mandatory. Having to beg for space to work in the office when it is required is infantilizing.

Further, being forced to be in the office so the boss can see you're busy (and thus having your location tracked) is clearly infantilizing. That's what we went through in school as children. A lot of us expect better treatment as adults.

In any case, I don't personally find the argument that there is a reason compelling. There's plenty of things that have a reason but are unreasonable.

> EVs are (much) cheaper to run [..] already less expensive in TCO terms for comparable quality/comfort.

Errm, I would love this claim to be true for the smallest and cheapest new cars. Is it?

Our smaller car cost €10k to buy outright, new, a few years ago. At that time the very same car was available as an EV for €23k. I'm concerned about climate change, fairly pro-EV, but we simply didn't have €13k to spare.

We have every intention of keeping that car for another five years, unless something major goes wrong (all it's needed is standard servicing so far)

Petrol and diesel have gone up everywhere, but electricity rates are rising too.

Q: When will I be able to buy a four seater EV with similar range for a similar (inflation adjusted) price as the petrol-engined version?

Zero time certainly correlates. There was next to no enforcement of remote attendance or remote assignments being done by the students themselves. Testing was also severely curtailed.
Over the last 20yrs, productivity gains enabled by IT have resulted in some form of IT being almost a requirement for most companies. Even when SaSS replaces some function of internal IT, specialized IT takes its place and enables further gains in productivity. It has been really hard for companies who need IT to compete with newFANGled companies when hiring. If Apple and Google do force people back into the office, remote work will be a benefit to those companies who need to hire.

Apple and Google have invested heavily in real estate. Google has over 1mil sqft in NYC. What's going to happen to all that space? My guess is it will take about 5yrs to know. There's going to be some big change to commercial real estate would be my guess.

Elon Musk had some ideas about Twitter usage, users, customers, interaction patterns, blah, and and offered $44B based on those ideas. Next he wanted to verify the assumptions, and for that needed API access, lots of it. Twitter did not give him enough access even though (this is crucial) the company could have, as shown by the fact that some paying customers do have the access Elon claims to need.

We all know there are bots on Twitter. The relevant questions are how many of which kinds of humans are there, how do they behave and interact with each other, what income can be extracted from the various kinds humans.
