Another class of projects illustrate the caviler attitude toward environment and health in 1913. These projects involve items such as asbestos, gunpowder, acetylene, hydrogen, lead, mercury, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, cadmium, potassium sulfate, potassium cyanide, potassium ferrocyanide, copper sulfate, and hydrochloric acid. Many references to these have been highlighted in red.

Projects requiring extra skill and care that involve high voltage, melting metals, or other hazards, have the title highlighted.
Yes I read an article a while back on real estate.

Most agents are women, but male agents are always the highest ranking for sales.

Easy reason... Real estate is a hobby job for well to do women with rich husbands. For men, it's a primary occupation
It's exactly as you say, imo, it's class and wealth, not a race issue.

But how to talk meaningfully about resolving a class/wealth issue, when it is framed as a race issue? You can't. First you need to correctly diagnose the problem. And so many talking heads etc are invested in a race problem..

I tend to think mis-framing the issue is intentional. It is a divide and conquer strategy, that keeps the oi polloi arguing amongst themselves.
Well Canadian Tire Corp tried to claim ownership of the domain crappytire.com and lost. Looks like the domain was eventually bought out.
All I did was put the link in my post above on my own website to see why it was acting weird without console errors.
Yes that's definitely a struggle. There is a balancing act involved in getting a set of time series that share 1) a common methodology for calculating index levels and returns, 2) a long lookback period, 3) index levels that account for dividends, 4) freely available and relatively simple to download to csv or other useful format. St Louis FRED database was very useful in this regard. I could definitely make some nicer flavors by using a paid source for historical asset returns but I'm not willing to do that just yet.

The next flavor I make will probably use something from: http://mba.tuck.dartmouth.edu/pages/faculty/ken.french/data_...

And for that one I'd like to use some non-normal distributions and other fancier characteristics.
I only meant to say that in my subjective experience of the internet, I hardly see it happening but I did not discount that it could happen.

Anyway, this is really a small part of my entire comment.
Even without an autoloader, Ruby has a single global namespace, so you have access to everything that has been required at any point from anywhere.

If anything autoloaders enforce that constant names match filenames, making it easier to locate the source.
JSON was originally a transfer syntax, not a serialization format. But then when people wanted a definition, it got documented with type semantics. So there's all sort of mistakes that were made along the way...
As someone with a bit more of a decade of Ruby experience: meta programming can be very confusing for native rubyists, too. There is a place for it (my personal take would be that this place is usually libraries/gems, e.g. if they need to be flexible to adapt to the consumer’s project), but it’s usually not code that needs to „convey a story“ (usually business logic) or needs to be debugged/observed.
Did you put it on a webpage so it's actually rendering the HTML or just look at it here in this post?
Really? I think I've read all the C&H strips multiple times and never picked up on that. Notably, Calvin's parents are never given names, and the only relative ever featured as I recall was his uncle on his dad's side.

Do you have a link to a strip where this is hinted at?
> So why would you “both sides” things when one is definitely going to be better.

Usually in an wish to maintain order and prevent chaotic conflict. Not going to explicitly say it's a good or bad thing, but that usually seems to be the intent.
Ha, I just did the same thing. It's definitely a bigger shift than I expected!

I think the biggest difference so far is the quality of dev tooling. Python's native type system has enabled a lot of really good editor functionality. Ruby has Sorbet, which seems good, but it's _much_ slower and more cumbersome. After a save to fix a red squiggly line, there's a 5 second delay before the typechecker / linter figures out the code has updated, run, and updated errors in-editor (note: this could be due to the size of the repo, but it's still a pretty tough experience)

In the company codebase it's pretty well set up and VSCode come pre-configured. But yesterday I tried setting up a little ruby project on my personal machine and couldn't figure out the combination of extensions to make basic auto-complete and jump-to-definition functionality work at all. To their credit, Microsoft has made Python development incredibly straightforward by giving a One Best Way To Do It and making sure there's good LSP support.

Python has its warts for sure, but I've grown to really appreciate the language and its ecosystem.

>you can only have one runtime per thread

Why?

Why can’t a single thread run multiple runtimes’ event loops? It’s pretty limited what an event loop can do: it can wait on a set of FDs, or sleep for some time (or until woken up). So if the various runtimes’ event loops could implement a common interface, then I don’t see why they couldn’t share a single thread…

Lol. Yeah, trust in the bankers is at a civilization high /s

In any case, block-lattice crypto is at least an order of magnitude more efficient than Mastercard et al. And it can be genuinely decentralized.

BTC and Ether were the first of their kind - but not the best, and certainly not the most efficient. Yet they get used as the bar for comparison to traditional banking and money, by people who really ought to know better.
It seems like you’re saying the lack of anonymity will inflate support for a union. I.e. organizers will be able to pressure people who would otherwise vote no on a union. Frankly, I’d be worried about the opposite. Knowing how aggressively amazon is fighting unions, if I worked there i’d hesitate to put my name down on paper - when I wouldn’t hesitate to vote in a secret ballot. If that’s the case, 50% support implies a stronger majority.

Maybe that’s not always the case, but that’s what I’d guess is happening in this case.
Oh, this is fun because I can actually answer this. (My life and class background is weird).

The lower class/working class/working poor, it's kind of similar to driving in states that see a lot of snow: There's an understanding if you see some poor bastard in the ditch and you can stop to help, you do, because next time it could be you. Liking each other does factor into how much effort they'll put into one another, and it's definitely possible to blow all your goodwill, but generally they assume there's a shared understanding that the shit stick is always going around, everybody's going to catch it, and everybody might need some help.

In this class, the predatory people you find are mostly those who take advantage of that ambient goodwill (this is also why there's a knee jerk reaction against mooches- when your community relies on everybody pitching in to function, moochers are more of a big deal) AND people who are waaaay too chill about the risks/consequences of their actions. (These are the friends you end up in prison with.)

The middle and upper middle class extend genuine resources and help if they approve of you, but are absolutely vicious if you don't. Because there's a sense that everybody should be able to take care of themselves/that running a household is achievable, if you step out of line and fail it's because you've failed. The circumstances of your poverty matter greatly to this class, and that's why you find very strong opinions on what the poor should and shouldn't do/what they're like. They're the most tribal of all the main groups. But if they do genuinely like you, they'll give you the shirt off their backs and are very sweet. They make their social decisions based on their emotions + values on how they think society should be (versus the practicality of the working classes). In this social class, predators are mainly social in nature. Pirating isn't really a thing because it's gauche, and that would give away the camouflage. The other way predators exist in this group are those who abuse the working class, particularly in the service industry.

The rich/well off/extremely privileged are very pleasant until you do something that they don't like. They're very used to having control over their environment, and this can manifest as a sort of grace and a lot of generosity because it doesn't cost them anything. Break something? Not a big deal; it isn't like they can't get another one. On the other hand, if you do cross them, they do not take it well. There's a tendency to see most of society as similar to a giant 4X game, and unanticipated variables annoy them. We all know what these predators are like. This class is very calculating, because it's a necessary condition to being there, and this does show up in their social and other lives. I often got the sense the people I met from this class were very stressed out.

I believe the idea with mlfinlab is for users to build and test models to predict asset returns. In other words, a tool to generate alpha. I may be wrong about this as I'm not familiar with mlfinlab.

CashGraphs is more oriented towards passive asset allocaters who want to pick a portfolio that has high expected returns for a given risk-tolerance level.
> Were I actually at risk of self-harm, I struggle to imagine how socially isolating me is a proper response.

I'm going to put on my cynical hat here, but I think you have a perfectly reasonable expectation. Human communities evolved in such a way that everyone knew everyone. If one person got sick, then the community was just as concerned for the individual as they were for risk it posed to the community.

Now, I'm not sure how it came to pass that giant tech companies like Facebook got landed with the responsibility of community shepherding and management (rather than being telecommunications carriers) but it's not a role Facebook should be doing, because at that scale, the people who are unhealthy are going to be treated like a defective unit, which needs to be pulled out of service and replaced, so the machine as a whole can keep humming.

Simple fact is that Facebook is a website, and a website can't care about you or anyone else for that matter, because it's just a website. But now that we're all socially subordinated to a website that controls the means by which we communicate with friends, family, and loved ones, I think we're going to see a lot more of this sort of lack of compassion becoming endemic to humanity.
To put it more succinctly, in the zero-trust mindset it isn't ever _your_ network.

It's a network you happen to be connected to. Your only trust the network at the physical layer that it won't destroy your hardware. Beyond that you don't trust anything you receive over the network that you can't independently verify.
How many "this should be illegal"s are we going to see on this website before people realize that powerful platforms have the money, power, and politics to lobby their way out of everything? A huge chunk of this was made illegal through the GDPR, and for years on this website everyone said it was a massive overreach. Or maybe we make this spend 5 years making this specific thing illegal and they circumvent it all in two weeks. Or they just ignore it and pay the paltry fines as a cost of doing business.

Not to mention the giant groups of people working at FAANG here, directly complicit with this behavior, afraid their salary and stock options will tank if anything changes.

Companies have the willpower and money to fight any sort of check on their power, well after the rest of us are all beyond exhausted.
> ¿Por qué no los dos?

You should have read my entire comment before you replied.
When I lived in Montreal I was surprised to find horse meat in a handful of regular supermarkets. It was cheaper than beef and it was pretty lean, 20 year-old student me appreciated both of those things. I found it pretty gamey and more flavorful than beef.

I did a bit of research and found out that Montreal had some of the largest horse slaughterhouses in the world. Apparently there are plenty of places in the world like Texas or Saudi Arabia with a lot of horses, and laws against slaughtering them for meat.

However if you're breeding a lot of horses you're going to end up with non-performing animals or too many horses for the space you have. So what can they do? They ship the live (healthy and not sick) animals to Montreal. They're slaughtered there and then shipped to places where they eat said meat.

Unfortunately they wouldn't let me get a tour, which was probably for the better anyway.
I assume you recognize that if you raise prices but also redistribute wealth, people would still collectively continue to use the resource in the same amount.

Someone has to go without to reduce the total consumption. Who is it in your example? And by how much such that the total usage decreases?
Indeed, there is a "technical brief" on their site, which has no technical details but a lot of information about how they can get funding from World Bank and other NGOs.

There are many, many obvious mistakes people make in business. The notion that people cannot learn from these mistakes and improve their odds is bizarre.

For example, being sloppy with the books has sunk many businesses. Failing to look out for employee embezzlement is another. Undercapitalization. Hiring friends. And on and on.
Probably both! That's why we shouldn't guess, and votes are secret for a reason.
> How many professional programmers are "virtuosos"?

Technically speaking, I believe that "virtuoso programmer" is the next level up in skill above "rock star programmer", who's typically someone who only learned to code in their rebellious teenage years. So, about 10X less common perhaps.
Ask HN: What is that amount where a big company won’t bother to sue me?
So I was reading this thread https://twitter.com/cryptofelon/status/1548049090490953728?s=20&t=JuA1NrodiAOfZ67fFMfZhg

It is difficult to make out who is on the wrong side here but it set me wondering if I happen to possess some domain and a big company comes after me, what is that max amount where they won’t bother to sue me?
(Perhaps the legal fee and associated headache is more than the amount they can simply pay up and both the parties move on.)
That seems inconsistent with my experience, unless they manage to do it completely without disturbing traffic.
It can, yes. But often with shingles you’re better of replacing them when worn with shingles that have the reflectivity “built in”.
> Britain is an odd case. The school system’s main purpose seems to be to segregate people by class and to perpetuate the class system. One of the results is that “working class” people develop different accents and manners from people with other backgrounds.

That's not a result of the school system. It's how things naturally occur everywhere.
All of those are "general purpose". That phrase doesn't mean "perfect official support for whatever alternative OS you like", it usually means something closer to "you are not forbidden from running your own code, even at a high privilege (kernel) level".
There's a kinda related take from Robot Chicken where the whole "is Hobbes real or imaginary" question gets taken to its limit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeWf0o6uqKE

Hah, apparently I missed that when I looked a little while ago. That's a very pleasant surprise. Looks like PCIe, SATA, USB and Ethernet all sit behind it.

Some folks who make good side projects make little or no effort in growing them. A professional marketer can often scale these quite easily.

That said, this strikes me as an unreasonably large multiple unless there is a juicy market, a moat, and little or no competition.
It looks like the M2 MBA is sub-3 pounds, at 2.7. The 13" and 14" MBPs are not sub-3 pounds. The former is 3 pounds exactly, and the latter is 3.5. [1] I would not have posted this comment if you'd only mentioned the 13", but a 3.5 pound computer feels much heavier than a 2.7 pound computer.

I was lucky enough to buy my Xpan years ago, but I just want to put in a brief argument to not think of cameras lenses attached to interchangeable dark boxes. Especially now, a lot of the "value" of an expensive camera is the ability to select an interface that will best allow you to work. The Xpan, aside from having some neat lenses, is also one of the most advanced film cameras ever made. It will adjust from pano to traditional mid-roll, it will detect the film iso, it will wind the film for you. Sharpness is, imo, the least of it.

All that said, getting lomo cameras to try out a format is a very good idea and one I heartily recommend.
Yeah, something like that would be really cool. Although I think the actual computational abilities of graphql are less than I am envisioning, but I'm not too familiar. I'm thinking of SQL-like (or even more powerful) aggregations and computations.
In the UK, the railway in summer breaks because it gets too warm. In winter it breaks because leaves get on the line or it is too cold. If its snowing, forget it. For a country whose national pastime is the weather, we don't deal with it very well the second it shifts out of its bland average. We spend the whole year wishing it would get hot and sunny, and then freak out the second it does.
Wait why aren't roofs white then?
Might be useful to look at what we did for the VWRAP abstract type system in the late 2000's. We generally eschewed attributes in XML and defined a subset of XML that could be automagically converted between JSON and a previously defined legacy binary format.

I'm certainly not saying this is how you should do things, but it's interesting to look at and has the feature that messages in one format (like XML) could be automagically transmogrified into another (like JSON.)

You seem to be changing your story here.

First: "my wife left her tech job because she didn't like the way she was treated. This leaves me forced to work my tech job whether I like my boss or not, because we have several mouths to feed."

Now: "Then we had a baby and she wanted to stay home." "my wife doesn't want to work when the kids are little."

Theoretically, both could be true. But plenty of people leave their jobs because they don't like the way they were treated, and then get a new job without leaving tech. It sounds like leaving tech for a number of years was about children rather than mistreatment though. Which goes against the claim that "men are more resilient".
Don't you have to teach people arithmetic before you can teach them to do complex manufacturing? It doesn't seem to me like most of Africa has the level of education necessary to sustain operations like these.
It is said (we learnt in school) that in sweden, to increase the spread of Christianity, the clerics made horsemeat religiously prohibited. If true, I think this contributed to why eating horse is essentially unthinkable in Sweden...

> Anyway, Ruby was designed to make programmers happy, and it is a big success at that.

I switched to golang from ruby and I definitely don't miss the ctrl+f hunts to figure out the source code of functions in ruby programs. its even worse when dynamic programming is used to create 'helper' methods (e.g. `{attribute_name}_changed?`) that you have to read through lines and lines of code to find anything.
Like most farm animals, horses don't normally die of old age and are instead either slaughtered or put to sleep by a veterinarian. If you think about it, cremating or burying a big animal like that is costly. So, a lot of horses end up being processed in a meat factory instead. The resulting meat is used for all sorts of things all over the world.

Horse slaughter is actually banned in the US. However, a lot of horses there are simply exported across the border to Canada or Mexico where they are slaughtered anyway. Why pay to have the animal disposed off when you can get some money for the meat?
My newest AMD box is a Zen3 (I think) Threadripper, and it’s a heavy little computer no doubt.

But I find myself using the i9-12000K way more often. It clocks to 5-ish GHz on 8 Gracemont cores without making much if any noise, and DDR5 makes a shockingly big difference. And it’s “build a box with Best Buy parts for 1-2 thousand bucks” cheap.

Zen4 is supposed to be a monster and I’m kinda waiting to see how that looks, but I’m always looking for a bargain: does AMD sell a “gaming” chip competitive with the Alder Lake stuff?
