Who exactly set the agenda? I would like to know. Because predictably the lockdowns caused world wide instability, that directly lead to record inflation and fertilizer shortages that will put millions of people into food insecurity and at real risk of going hungry. It's hard to believe that this price was worth it.
So, the problems in Sri Lanka now are due to its former prosperity? And at the same time the problems have been there for decades? This sounds like trying too hard to see a pattern. In reality, the situation in Sri Lanka has been awful for quite a while, as you note, and the current discontent has nothing to do with life there being too cushy.

Bad times necessarily follow good times at some point, if only because of regression to the mean. No need to read too much into this.
Clearly you and me don’t know the same people because iPhones which have become finicky to plug are very common around me.
In virtually all of the states a home intruder is considered a deadly threat by itself, so it's perfectly fine to shoot them. Even in super liberal states like New York or California it's perfectly okay to open fire on home intruders.

I’m not sure you are understanding the point of the article. It’s not a matter of if there is good art to be found if you go looking, it’s about whether modern society is undergoing a cultural decline.
Yeah O365 is not same as Standalone Office 2019. First off his version would not include outlook at that price point. Second, the 2TB storage and mail service (and maybe personal domain?) is part of the value.
It's strange they even put an example but it would never work. You could use cloudflare DNS to approximate a CNAME? Or prose has an A record that you could use? Not sure how this slipped by.

I prefer pour over brews too after going through allll the other options and absolutely love natural process beans (usually a lighter roast) from high elevation places like Ethiopia. Light roasts with delicate flavors absolutely shine with a pour over.
Lithium mining isn't particularly bad and it is mostly done in fairly well regulated parts of the world (mainly Australia and Chile) with at least somewhat enforced worker and environmental protections.

It's possible you are thinking of Cobalt which is very bad?
With all due respect, at the time the vax were being pushed on everyone as 'safe' and 'trust the science' - we were not sure what impact it would have at all.

Didn’t the 9 month mark (since delta’s effect on vax rates) pass about 3 months ago in the US (referring to parent)? Or what time/mark event are you looking for?
It's applicable to people in the public with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, since that's the population they were studying.
As a university student it really is quite unfortunate. So many students use MacBooks that come pre installed with a word editor capable of collaborative editing, but choose word regardless! Luckily I seldom had professors who required submission in .docx, but even for that, Pages has an option to export as .docx.
It is very strange that their slides are posted in Adobe Flash format -- a format that hasn't been supported for years. Both their blog and their Twitter account are sorely neglected as well.
Not really, no. Most of Europe isn't using it properly, either - those "democratic socialist" parties aren't socialist.
Getting "roasted recently coffee" sounds like a problem, how do you make sure of it? Also, have you try nespresso(machines and coffee)? I find their coffee really good and can't stand anything else, easy to make and not expensive.
"Conclusion: The results of the present study indicated that consumption of fruits more than 4 servings/day exacerbates steatosis, dyslipidemia, and glycemic control in NAFLD patients. Further studies are needed to identify the underlying mechanisms of the effects of fruits on NAFLD."

It's not clear to the reader what metrics you have and what you do not. Reading the post top to bottom, when we get to this line at the end:

> This incident has made it clear that a few blindspots exist within our monitoring systems.

I assume it's related to metrics at the load balancer layer not tracking that it's failing to forward the traffic downstream to registered hosts.

> For a period of around 24 hours, some users in the us-west3 region were unable to access dash.deno.com, and Deno Deploy projects, including deno.com and deno.land.

This earlier sentence implies to me that you do have an idea of the scale of the outage. If you instead meant "some" to be "the users who reported they were impacted directly to Deno" and not a metric you have access to, you should just say it.

For example:

We are unable to determine the impact of the outage to customers in the us-west3 region outside of those who reported the issue to us directly.

There's less ambiguity there.

> I think it’s also important to remember that Deploy is still in public beta, specifically because we are aware that it’s not perfect yet.

No system is perfect. There will always be outages. Taking a more rigorous and transparent approach to postmortems isn't related to your system being perfect.

I'm circling back to this days old thread to give this feedback in the spirit of constructive criticism. It's not meant to embarrass or call anyone out specifically, and I hope you find it helpful.
Why WASM when you can create a full VM with its own custom bytecode implementation complete with nonsense instructions and compile to that.
This sounds like an even harder problem to fix than the climate change problem (which is saying a lot)
Still more work than instant maxwell house, and still missing the point about the article. It isn’t about the coffee, it’s about the experience and the people you drink it with.

Frou-frou coffee has a way of making the experience about the coffee, rather than about the company and environs. At least that is the author’s point.

And I say this as someone who grinds their own beans every day.

Rowan Atkinson has either a stutter or stammer (The two are used interchangeably but they are different) [0]. I suspect this influenced the physical (and mostly non-verbal) comedy of Mr. Bean as well as his earlier standup.

He also blocks on the letter 'B' which makes him slightly halt when pronouncing words like "Baldrick", "Blackadder", "Bean", "Bob" which he uses to this comedic advantage.[1]

Why would serving it in the browser or not matter? It's like saying all code should be open source, which is a valid opinion but I don't see why writing JavaScript and serving it in the browser would be any different. It's not like I automatically agree on making my code fully available just because I happen to target the web.

Sure, you can de-obfuscate JS but you can also reverse engineer other software.
> Suppressors are regulated heavily under the NFA. You have to receive explicit permission from the Feds for each one.

You make it sound far worse than it actually is. But everybody legally able to own a firearm, is also legally able to own any NFA item (if they are legal in their state of residence).

All you have to do is pay $200, submit your fingerprints, file an application and wait. You don't even need to provide them with a reason. And as long as the application is in order, and you're legally able to possess a firearm, there's no reason at all to refuse the application.

Also, Texas no longer cares about the NFA as far as suppressors are concerned.
I think this is the same principle as pretty much everything. Variety is almost always sought after, and then within that variety specific characteristics are cherished. I think the "anti dark roast" thing is "anti uniformity". The darker the roast, the closer every bean gets to tasting exactly the same.

For example, why do people dump on pop music and think of jazz as "real music"?
I don't do the mind map thing, but I do make heavy use of Obsidian as my note taking solution and it has a graph view to show the connections between nodes.

This is a consequence of the immune response. It's common to every vaccine (or viral infection).
You could probably port it to a VIC-20, but even though about 15% of the code is the code to produce ELF headers, it would probably be larger because the i386 has denser code than the 6502.

The Type and Addr parallel arrays that form SKF's "symbol table" are 1024 bytes each, so you might want to change that; presumably you'd use 16-bit addresses instead of 32-bit, and you could rule out the use of "extended ASCII" bytes, and so use only 256 bytes for Type and 256 bytes for Addr.

It still might be impossible to get it to run in a base VIC-20 with only 5KiB of RAM, because that has to be able to contain two copies of the compiler: the one that's running and the one that's being built, so you'd likely have to trim it down a lot.

The biggest unknown would be how much code you need for I/O.

If you get it working I'd love to hear about it!
Perhaps. But that's how Starbucks works, by buying shitty beans and dark roasting them. It also makes it easier to have consistent coffee (consistently burnt, that is).
Lego bricks is a perfectly acceptable substitute, from my experience. Or something like Minecraft.
I shouldn't have even added them because I still don't think a coronavirus type of infection that is (or will evolve to become) so contagious can actually be stopped, and I'll stand by that main point.

Especially something that is so drastically over represented in the sick, old, and obese but not the young and healthy. Why is it justified to shoot healthy strong young people, privileging the interests of the comorbid group? In a situation where again, they're going to get sick anyways? What if we just shot the old and fat people and then everyone could stop worrying about covid?

Are there any maintained Windows ports of WebKit?
Yeah, old python 2 books might not be worth anything now, but I love ancient tomes about batch files, OS/2, perl, or fortran. Even old linux books can be great to flip through.

Anything with early web stuff is also really interesting. The ones with long lists of URLs in the back (even with them being mostly long dead), chapters on archie or gopher/veronica... it's very cool history. Books from the early days of the internet when it was all potential and exploration, before greed and surveillance capitalism set in, are both nostalgic and inspiring.
This is great. This increases the housing supply, helps intergenerational socialization, is budget (utility base fees) friendly, and climate (increases used existing structure utility, the space and appliances will be better utilized) friendly

This doesn't look to me like unencrypted serialized data. Serialization would usually have some visible structure to it and possibly visible ASCII strings. Also notice that the lengths of both strings are aligned to 16 bytes — this might mean AES block encryption.

> I think it’s under-appreciated how much the rise of the Nazis was a direct result of Germany’s loss in World War One

FWIW I thought this was very widely understood as a leading cause.
Teach them internet safety and etiquette. Kids don't fully appreciate that awful people exist or that there are a lot of them, or that they can use the guise of the internet to abuse and exploit people in ways they've never considered before.

> - Do I give them the ability to do online purchases?

Depends on the age, this one I'd say no. Let them spend their own money how they see fit, but also educate them about scams and shitty business practices. Don't give them a blank check to buy whatever they want unless you want to incentivize addictive purchasing habits from in-game and in-app purchases. It often amounts to literal gambling, and kids are easy targets for the unscrupulous.

> - Do I limit their "screen time" (hate that term) or will that prevent them from interacting with their friends in the way they would want to?

You can hobble phones and tablets and force them to only run approved apps. Let them text and video chat with their friends and keep them away from exploitative business models.

Other than that, I appreciate your respect for your kids' privacy. My experience growing up with friends that had invasive parents is that they just learn to hide things well from their parents, and become averse to telling them the truth because they've learned they can't trust their parents. If your kids have a problem, you want them to come to you for help and not avoid you until they can't anymore.
Presumably, equity means more ownership and less tech debt. And a team that's specialized in the MVP stage of building.

Exactly - and the pilsner is "easy" with tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars of equipment to monitor and measure everything.

But at home, with imperfect tools? You can make almost anything but you can't make it twice.

Even some of the craft breweries have difficulty keeping the taste consistent on their brews (this is the reason behind "limited edition runs" often).
Nazis in their past Freikorps incarnation also killed plenty of communists. It did not prevent KPD from doing joint strikes with them.

So I find it very dubious that KPD and SPD couldn't have made a single united front, if instructions from Moscow weren't towards the opposite.
> I know you didn't mean this the way it sounded.

I did - nothing personal obviously, but the problem is that ultimately no matter which side you pick you will have tradeoffs that some people will agree with and some who'd suffer disastrously as a result - just like the flip-side (assuming the initial theory is correct) could potentially involve a lot more deaths and cause just as much grief to families/etc.

Of course in retrospect the point is moot because in practice the majority of countries mismanaged their Covid response and we ended up with the worst of both worlds - the negative effects of lockdowns/mandates/etc without them being followed/enforced enough to actually have any significant effect at eradicating the disease.

Again, no offense intended (and you have the right to be angry), just trying to explain the other side of the debate; there's a tradeoff to be made and either side will have downsides (though IMO in retrospect neither was enforced well enough and as a result we ended up with the worst of both sides without any of the benefits). Ideally there would just never have been a virus and then we wouldn't have to think about these trade-offs at all, but now that it appeared, those decisions had to be made, rightly or wrongly.
Agreed. I buy 5lbs from them at a time and keep it in the freezer. It’s usually frozen two days after they roasted it. I then refill the hopper on my grinder as necessary and use a pour over (chemex with a metal filter). It’s fast and easy and tasty. But I will also drink any coffee and enjoy it.
My experience with most rust crates is that they do use separate markdown files for their big doc pages like readme and tutorial, getting started etc; and they include (`!#doc["readme.md"]`, or something like that) these files in their source so that they're picked up by `cargo doc`. Only actual Rust items get directly-in-source-documentation -- again, in general.

However I agree (I think) that markdown is not a great format for long form docs; you want something a bit more expressive (say, asciidoctor).
Cheese lasts a long time in the fridge, and even iceberg lettuce does as well. My local burger/micro-brewery has been sliding in quality for the last two years and I finally reached my tipping point. Normally, it's about $12 for a 1/3lb burger and fries there.

So I found a local butcher who makes a 'steakhouse' grind (chuck, brisket, short ribs) for about $7/lb. Two slices of cheddar are about a buck for non-Kraft cheese, buns and condiments are about another buck. Takes me about 9 minutes to cook at home, and I have a custom, super fresh and hot burger that tastes better than anything I've every had at a restaurant. Now I do miss out on fries, but eh, chips will do as a replacement. At the end of the day, I have a burger and chips for about $5, plus leftover stuff for other sandwiches. Throw in a decent beer, and I'm still cheaper than the microbrewery. And no driving required.

Of course, I have to do the difficult part of cooking. /s
What is that "short time?"

Dude. What the fuck are you on about?

BART and Muni are both union shops. I don't know if SMART is but it postdates the HSR proposals.

As someone who lived through Muni's transition to SelTrac (the system that underpins DLR and I think some of the Tube lines) I can say the union was not the problem. The technology was unreliable and eventually abandoned by Alcatel/Thales. GoA 4 stuff is only viable along small, low ridership stretches of track. If you knock the level of automation down a peg or two it's a lot easier to scale up to busier/larger systems.

I've read the same thing a few times. Coffee cognoscenti gets jaded after a while in a world where it's not as hip and interesting anymore to be a coffe cognoscenti. Goes back to basic coffee, usually whatever blue-collar workers drink.

commodity coffee is bad

- for the farmers and workers (low, inconsistent pay)

- for the environment (mono-cropping)

- for the roaster (inconsistent quality and needs to be over-roasted to equalize)

- in the cup (tastes over-roasted)

sorry. just because we have all gotten used to commodity coffee pricing "for your daily fix" doesn't mean it's good or acceptable. it's inextricable from it's history in colonialism.

I was actually pretty relieved when I realized I couldn't tell (or was indifferent to) the difference between good coffee and merely average coffee. Another hobby I didn't need to spend any more of my limited time/effort.

It's like when I tried on some audiophile headphones and discovered that they sounded the same as my $20 cheap ones. Saved myself months of "research" and hundreds of dollars, and marketing/ads bounce right off me.

One of the lesser looked at perspectives of homelessness (and the housing crisis) is that saloons and boarding houses were the norm for the then "middle" class.

Nowadays, weekly hotels have some stigmas attached; and even then don't have the services that boarders would have (breakfast, hand laundry).
