If something doesn’t work, I want to know it is not effective #1. That way I don’t have false hope and waste my energy and time, but instead turn my attention to find something actually effective. And also skip the negative side effects of something that won’t have any benefit.

It’s not the responsibility of one study to resolve depression. That would be nice and convenient, but it’s a scientific community driven solution space exploration. And determining a path is ineffective leads to more time and money spent on alternate paths to find something which is effective.
People have been complaining that the actual inflation is greater than the "officially reported" inflation for the past 30 years - ever since the Great Recession. The cost for energy was factored out, and even the cost of food was factored out to some extent - so long as you can replace item A with item B and the price of A > B then we'll take item B.

This had led to an "officially reported" inflation rate that is lower than the actual inflation people experience. Critics say it's to keep the cost of social security increases low, since they're based on the "officially reported" inflation rate.

Next up, another pet peeve of mine: the calculation of the unemployment rate..

Fun little game. I bet if you make the board a bit smaller and people could finish it in 45 seconds or so and made the restart even faster you could get some more daily visitors.

And make the ux pretty.

I'ma send this to my brother who likes little games and doesnt care about ux. If I send it to my wife she wont touch it because it doesnt look nice.

Oh. Maybe make the boxes bigger too. I played on desktop but having larger boxes might make it feel better.
> You're conflating a lot of things here, none of which are really related.

Speaking of things that aren't related. I don't see how those things being legal is even somewhat related to making abortion illegal or making it legal to bounty hunt women. You're going to have to explain that connection to me a bit more.

Still my preferred media player as a windows user, been using it for over a decade at this point. There was a time an MPC-HC setup required a lot of plugins (or bulky codec packs) but now all you need is MadVR, and a subtitle renderer (I like xy-subfilter) and you're good. Doesn't really have the utility of VLC or MPV but the playback quality is fantastic with MadVR.
Of course, all those average people who need to be protected from themselves and their own stupidity by, I suppose enlightened betters such as yourself? Sure, there are plenty of foolish people out there making bad choices, but a fair number of them also exist among the supposedly higher earning, supposedly smarter classes too. Should a widespread program of treating adults like children in all possible be adopted worldwide?

Or should we perhaps recognize that sometimes bad things do inevitably happen and that you can't legislate them away by banning whole categories of activity that sometimes lead to bad outcomes. Many of the people shitting on crypto on this very site, people who often make claims like yours about a public that they seem to look upon as little more than a moronic mass, work at high compensation for some of the world's most manipulative tech mega companies and have for years, but oh hey, lets preach about protecting the masses from themselves.

I did the Hacktoberfest one for years getting a T-shirt every time. I liked the T-shirt and might have done it anyway, as I sometimes continued contributing for a while after the event.

After a while the sense I got from Hactoberfest changed. Both from the projects and the promoters in ways that disagreed with the way I think about opensource and contributing to it. So I haven't participated since.
No processing done at the DB very often implies more queries and consequently a higher workload in the DB than just doing the processing there. That's evident when looking at typical ORM usage (usually very chatty applications).

Toon Koppelaars shows that in a few experiments done with Oracle ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jiJDflpw4Y&ab_channel=Oracl... )

Also very often doing the work in the DB means a simpler solution, fewer race-condition issues, and less work overall.

When talking about this particular case, the CHECK constraint, it is probably matter of measuring the impact and understanding at which point this might be relevant, and considering the cost of the alternative implementation at the application layer
Take the first amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press..."

It explicitly says Congress however it is currently interpreted that it applies to all governmental organizations. Federal, state and local. It has previously been argued that the same limitation on interstate law existed at the state level, as the authority of a state could not exceed that of the congress when it came to national matters. If congress effectively has no limitation, there is no limitation to exceed.
> 10 year old being forced to travel out of state

People in the US are able to freely travel between states, this isn't the case elsewhere in the world. Some things are crimes in some jurisdictions and not others, this is normal.

If you think it's inadequate, pass an amendment to the constitution, that's what the amendment process if for. If you think the process to too burdensome, encourage your state to secede.
This is a distraction. There have always been antiabortion crazies lurking in the woodwork. The state just chose to pull the trigger on this particular shitshow at this particular moment because it suits their agenda.

Don't get me wrong. There is definitely an abortion rights disaster in progress. It's just that this disaster was manufactured only to distract from a larger, more powerful, disaster.

Strong disagree. The videos Intel did with LTT and GamersNexus reveal inner workings of some of the GPU architecture. Certainly a marketing-focused presentation targeted at tech-savvy folks, but some of that narrative is required to really set the stage for a new entrant into the field, since there's no preexisting story, and existing mental models of Nvidia & AMD GPUs don't mesh so cleanly into the Intel GPUs. Knowledge will advance much faster with some marketing then with pure lab tests. And it's obvious LTT and GamersNexus plan to test these to the ends of the earth, like they do AMD & Nvidia cards.
Works well for me although the best remedy I’ve found is a few rounds of sparkling water at the end of the night
Netflix's usage of AWS is often used as evidence that AWS is a smart choice. Leading to "no one's gotten fired for choosing AWS."

There are a lot of beneficial assets Netflix would bring to any potential buyer, especially media IP for an organization trying to become (or stay) relevant in that space.

But the potential move from AWS to Azure would be a huge case study for Microsoft.

The headlines says "South Carolina bill outlaws websites...". That is dishonest, because of the verb tense. The honest phrasing would be "South Carolina bill would outlaw websites..."

See here's the problem that is plaguaging the discourse right now, instead of having a rational discussion the argument has devolved to people's emotions overruling everything.

I understand this is an emotional issue but until everyone can agree to at least have a discussion about this without getting overemotional we can't have any discussion or compromise only polarization and that eventually leads to shooting and a civil war.

I mean my own sister told me she hopes my 2 year old daughter gets raped because of my position on this issue. Doesn't that strike anyone else as something that would deplorable under other circumstances but we excuse it right now because we believe the cause is righteous?

This is how fanatics and extremists are made.
Frankly I don’t think that the problem is that individuals who are part of the pro life movement are lumped in with the worst in the group. Rather, many who hold even less extreme pro life positions are still across the line of what others deem acceptable.

> The reversal or Roe was not about "kicking it back to the states", it was the first step in trying to make abortion access illegal nationwide.

Was this motive ever hidden?

Abortion should be illegal. I hope each state passes laws criminalizing it. That has always been the goal.

The ‘judicial philosophy’ crap emerged due TO roe V. wade. The decision made a mockery of the constitution.

The millions upon millions of people working and praying and picketing and voting on this issue for the past 40 years we’re doing it to save babies… not to defend some abstract philosophy.

> largely pulled back because it's constitutional basis was too weak to defend in the Supreme Court

"large pulled back" belies the fact that the motives are ulterior.

> consequences are largely left up to the people who choose to use those things

In the case of banning abortion, you're denying choice and autonomy. You're saying a woman HAS to give birth even if it wasn't her choice. Even if she was raped. Even if she's 10 years old.

If you don't find that stance appalling, I don't know what to say.
> What with the Democrats being further left than ever

I'm not sure where you're getting that idea. The democrats have been moving towards "the center" so hard that it has pushed the republicans to the extreme right such that many of them now simply refuse to recognize the results of elections that don't go their way.

It’s also quite fun how many of the “inpossible” setups or situations are just literally copies of real-life stories.

The harder part for non-devops is not the TF side, but the cloud architecture and known best practices in design. After that the TF is pretty easy and mechanical

Another point to consider is that most devs don't want yet another tool / SaaS to do a bit of bootstrapping. Also, the move towards exposing non-devops to devops without guidelines / constraints is ill-advised. So many cost / security issues to clean up after by the devops team

Sorry, but that won't fix your problem, at least not in Germany.

If your contract extends because you forgot to cancel it, you still have to pay, since it's completely legal. If your payment information is not correct, they may even charge you a reasonable surcharge for the failed payment.

After a few warning, you can be sent to a legal collection service, which you either pay, or challenge in two weeks, and it case of challenge it goes automatically to court. Then you will need to pay the contract plus court expenses, since there's 100% chance that extension of your contract is valid.

If you are outside of Germany, and unreachable to the German state, then it may work, since they could decide it's too much hassle for them to collect.

Just to be clear you don't have to lease Comcast hardware to get unlimited. You can add unlimited to a plan that does not include leased hardware. It's $30/month last I checked.

Prepend said Comcast would be worse than what they have with AT&T, which is 50 Mbps, 1 TB data cap, and leased hardware they do not like.

He could get similar on Comcast but without leased hardware and with a 1.2 TB data cap, so Comcast seems to be an improvement for them since it would be better on every aspect of AT&T that they mentioned. Hence my curiosity as to why they think Comcast would be worse for them.
The point is that any sensible society wouldn’t continue with a transportation infrastructure that costs more and is vastly more deadly.

It only has 1st amendment problems if the courts care. Making abortion illegal is an ideological project that the majority of the current SCOTUS and their acolytes has been working towards for at least 40 years. If you think they're going to let the plain text of the constitution, federal law, or its interpreted tradition get in the way of that you have not been paying attention.
Almost no one who is given these pills has a lab confirmed neurotransmitter "imbalance". They are not even tested for it. So it should severely trouble you IMHO that it bears the "gold standard" designation for anyone who can be subtly influenced to fill out a depression screening form correctly.

I think the commenter was saying (by analogy) even if all official ties to the CIA are severed, the former CIA employee has so imbibed the CIA Kool Aid that it will be impossible (maybe consciously) to try to go to work at Meta without thinking like a CIA employee. All his decisions will be filtered through the lens of "do I think this is what the government would want?"

Since many of us have met a Marine who – decades later – was still in love with the USMC, we can get a taste of how someone might feel about the CIA years later.
"It could have been much worse" seems to be a pretty common response to a few things these days. And even that single survey you point to... Many were seeking more money or career growth, or were laid off.

This method will produce false results and not fail if the right hand side is not analytic but infinitely differentiable. It will also silently fail depending on the implementation of the automatic differentiation in the presence of integrated discontinuities anywhere in the function.

I can recognise the problem you are describing of people reading and not reflecting before applying. I also see your point of limited time, and I don't think choosing work over family is a good idea.

One thing we have been doing for some years at my company is that I started a book circle to encourage my peers to read more and me to get more people to discuss and reflect with. We encourage people to read on work time and we go through 2-3 books a year.

Hard links don't have a canonical name though - they're all equally the same file, and this is really a problem: opening and editing a file in one location, edits it in all of them without you knowing what those locations might be.

Symlinks at least explicitly declare the dependency and how it should mutate.

A classic being /etc/resolve.conf symlinks - if I'm untarring and restore a symlink for it, I'm currently saying the file should have content from somewhere else on the system - not that the file is specific content.
