Okay, I should probably have been a bit clearer about that. Polio eradication efforts everywhere in the world, including the US, were based around the oral polio vaccine due to its apparent benefits in stopping vaccinated people from spreading polio. This was discontinued in the developed world, including the USA, a couple of decades ago (edit: and replaced with the inactivated polio vaccine - I though this was clear enough from the context...) after polio was eliminated there and the risk of spread from other countries was considered low enough. Entire age groups have never been vaccinated using the OPV. And of course it doesn't matter how well protected the population as a whole is if there's a subcommunity of people who regularly interact with each other who aren;t...
MacBook Pro with M1 Pro as opposed to the MacBook with M1 Pro. Definitely no confusion coming down the pipe.
Wait. I thought lazy evaluation is defined as evaluation at the time a value is needed. After that I think it will then be in Weak Head Normal Form, which can be thought of as "evaluated at its top level"... but I'm a bit rusty. Basically, an expression gets used somewhere (e.g. pattern matched, in the ADT sense). If it's in WHNF, cool, it's evaluated already (subexpressions within may not yet, but that's their problem--that's exactly what WHNF says). If not, we evaluate it down to WHNF.

Wikipedia states it as: "When using delayed evaluation, an expression is not evaluated as soon as it gets bound to a variable, but when the evaluator is forced to produce the expression's value."

So if evaluation begins effectively at the time the promise is issued, not at the time the promise is awaited, then I would not call that lazy evaluation, and what hn_throwaway_99 said sounds correct to me.

Is my rusty old PL understanding wrong?

I'm admittedly a member of pretty much all the chain loyalty clubs. But, for the most part, paying for WiFi access is mostly a thing of the past. Other than mandatory resort fees that include WiFi in some places (e.g. Vegas and actual resorts), I don't know the last time I specifically made for WiFi either.
The Fast Fourier transform is one of my favorites. Aside from its usual place in signal analysis, it’s useful for performing convolutions (see convolution theorem), computing derivatives, and other things. Plus, it’s super satisfying to walk through the derivation from the mathematics and see the Cooley-Tukey algorithm pop out at the end. That was one of my favorite sections to teach when I taught a data analysis class a decade and a half ago.
Some services demand PayPal if you want to receive money - for example BandCamp.
The problem is economic distribution not growth. It doesn't matter how many people are participating the in world economy if it still doesn't benefit the majority of the participants. Throwing more workers into a broken economic system to bolster it instead of addressing the problems is just bailing water on a sinking ship. We'll just end up with more impoverished people that drag economies down and make the situation worse.

Social security as you mentioned is a good example. We only have that issue with our current social security system because we spend the money people pay in to social security as part of the governments yearly budget and pay out money to current SS recipients from the same yearly budget. This only works if there always more people paying money in than receiving it. We built a broken system that depends on continuous growth instead of just saving some of the money to distribute later. Making more babies is just bailing out water until it happens again with the problem only getting worse with each iteration.

Another huge issue that Elon never mentions or is not aware of is the coming robotics revolution. We are on the cusp of Industrial Revolution 2.0 with robotics. Robots will replace humans in the majority of jobs. Workers will shift to building and maintaining the machinery rather than doing the actual work. This requires less people but ones with higher skills and that's what we should be concentrating on, building an educated and skilled work force instead of just making more workers for jobs that soon won't exist.

There's a very good reason the bottom panel isn't part of the cooling system, as a 70C panel sitting on one's lap could be indicated in infertility, long before it causes any burns or other obvious discomfort.

If the Air had a Surface Book like design where the heat could radiate behind the display, this would be a different affair. It doesn't, so that heat will go to your legs and what's between them. Beyond just being uncomfortable, this would be a liability and press issue that no one at any laptop company wants to deal with.

This comment and GP comment open up a helpful learning experience for a casual/occasional user like me.

This distinction between initial value problems (IVP, one endpoint known, hence a “time” differential equation) and BVPs (both endpoints known, not “time”) also appears in this introduction to the Chebfun solvers:

https://www.chebfun.org/docs/guide/guide07.html (last paragraph of sec 7.1)

Following the breadcrumbs to the IVP treatment in chapter 10

https://www.chebfun.org/docs/guide/guide10.html (Sec 10.2)

we read:

A major change was introduced in Version 5.1 in how initial-value (and final-value) problems are solved. Before, Chebfun used the same global spectral representations as for BVPs. This usually works fine for linear problems, but for nonlinear ones, it is inferior to the method of time-stepping by Runge-Kutta or Adams formulas. In Chebfun Version 5.1, we accordingly switched to solving IVPs numerically by ode113 (by default), converting the resulting output to a Chebfun representation.

Thanks again for the helpful comments.
From my experience, most places don't model the transition state. Such that it easily gets bunged.

If you just want to make it hidden, that is fine. But can lead to it's own problems. Usually when you have uniqueness constraints on things.

Okay then.
> An application running as root may try to check that /data/mydir is a regular directory (not a symlink) before opening the file /data/mydir/passwd. In between the time the program does the directory check and the file open, an attacker could replace the mydir directory with a symlink to /etc, and now the file opened is, unexpectedly, /etc/passwd. This is a kind of race condition known as a time-of-check-to-time-of-use (TOCTOU) race.

That application is doing the wrong check; it should be validating that every component of the path is a directory which is only writable to root.

First you stat("/"). OK, that is a directory and writable only to root: so no non-root process can put a symlink there. Next we check "/data". OK, that's a directory, and since we know / is owned by root and not world-writable, /data cannot be replaced by a symlink.

And so on ...

This can easily be made into a function like safe_path("/data/dir/path/to/mypasswd") which returns true only if no pathname component is something which a user other than the caller, or root, could tamper with to point to a different file.

The open system call should have a flag for this, O_SAFE. That would alter the behavior of the name resolution function (traditionally, "namei") to do these checks along the path.

The path could have symlinks, if they are not tamperable from the POV of the calling user.

Typically superuser applications in Unix rely on filesystem structure. They set environment variables like PATH carefully, and stick to accessing data in known directories that had better be safe. If /data/mydir/passwd is something that is manipulated by a root application, then the system is misconfigured if any of these is writable to a non-root user: /, /data, /data/mydir or /data/mydir/passwd.

If that is the case, you don't need symlinks to wreak havoc on the application. You can, for instance, write your own password into that password file and then falsely authenticate with that app.
It's always either "Flash Drive" or "Pen Drive".

Exactly. Landing in a new city with the family, taking time off work and then gambling on some random guy with a house coming through and not ripping us off is just too much risk.

AirBnB might even “fix it” but then we’re running around at night, with suitcases, to a new part of time and then spending days on the phone getting refunds.

Maybe that sounds adventurous and exciting for someone else but just doesn’t work for us.

When I was younger, I sold turquoise jewelry at the Grand Canyon and I feel about the same towards sales and marketing, I mean they are the same with different levels of scale. I found an exception though, the way we sold in the shop I worked at would only teach people interesting things if they showed interest, explain the history, the nuances, give some background on the artist who made it, things like that. Even if there wasn't a sale the ones who took the time to listen still learned something interesting, and those who did buy now had something cool to tell to people who would ask them about it later.

So I guess I'm saying that tutorial style marketing is ok, but that's such a small amount of what passes for marketing nowadays, and marketing tends to always take anything and everything too far to the point of ruining it and whatever platform supports it.
The inconsistency of money amount inputs in web forms is infuriating.

Some will automatically enter a decimal and if you type "12" then it only enters 0.12. If you want 12.00, then you have to type 1200.

Others are the opposite. You enter "12" and you get 12.00. You have to manually enter the decimal if you want 0.12.
Definition on Wikipedia says otherwise:

“In programming language theory, lazy evaluation, or call-by-need,[1] is an evaluation strategy which delays the evaluation of an expression until its value is needed (non-strict evaluation) and which also avoids repeated evaluations (sharing).”

Haskell would be an apt example here.

Symlink loops are handled in the pathname resolution function in the kernel. Too many indirections of symlinks (typically around forty or so?) result in the resolution bailing with an ELOOP errno.
Based on the OP, I'd say this is false.
Except unlike that Alzheimers research, vaccines work. They often work astonishingly well. If you want to pretend viruses don't exist, you need to provide alternative reasons for why these vaccines work so well, and especially now that we have shown mRNA vaccines work, this alternative explanation also has to work in cases where only a tiny subset of that virus exists in the vaccine.

Quite simply, not understanding something, or not liking the consequences of it, is not skepticism, it's ignorance. Skepticism requires having good reasons to reject good models/research/outcomes etc. In the Alzheimers case, the reason for skepticism, which many people in the field had, was difficulty reproducing results, and lack of positive outcomes from therapies using that working hypothesis.

Blind skepticism makes you beyond stupid, and eventually turns you into an idiot who watches Alex Jones and thinks your own son is a crisis actor
Yeah massive amounts of water os of course the standard. But the vitaminc/d powder really does do something extra. Its consistent and after a friend told us about it both my wife and I have had success with it after making a dilly mistake like have drinks on an empty stomach or not paying attention to the abv on a bottle.
I have no hypothesis why it might work, but I'm absolutely convinced it does so, and well, vs water chugging. Its mainly just the headache you skip. It doesn't replace hydration or speed up metabolism of the alcohol. I think it may speed up conversion of alcohol metabolism byproducts, but I don't know why that would be the case.
> 2nd the United States is a group of states that are united.

Every state except New Hampshire (0.9) has a rate substantially above the UK (1.2). And NH was 2.4 the year before. Next best is Maine (1.6). So even taken individually, it's not good.

> policies and enforcement that it is more like comparing France and the UK than Scotland and Wales.

The UK and France are almost exactly the same (both 1.2).

Appreciate the apology, sorry from my side as well. I also responded pretty aggressively when I didn't need to.

Thanks for the link too, I'm reading through it atm.

I agree that you shouldn't post prematurely and should learn more about the subject before you speak on it, but there are so many topics that come up throughout the day it's impossible to research all of them. I was hoping if the number wasn't suspicious, someone who knew better could explain it. Maybe it would have been better to phrase my comment as a question instead of a statement though.
Because I don't like to enter my card details into a random site. Even if I trust the company in general, I still don't know how secure their infrastructure is.

Having a dedicated card/account for just paypal is easier.
This exactly! I have my own Airbnb horror story and what most people don't realize is that their policy says find you a new place OR refund you. And this is the real kicker. It's at THEIR discretion not yours.

This means you can tell them that you just want a comparable place nearby (due to some unforseen issue with original booking) and they can say it's too much work or too much money to book you one and just kick you a refund last minute.
Should this not be percentage-based instead of fixed-fee?
> It's in a freaking dictionary.

It is, but you're appealing an authority that isn't seen as authoritative.

Dictionaries are factual and lack the social context that can completely change the meaning of the word. Business communication has its own jargon that can often be nuanced and sometimes indirect.

For example:

"Forecast" is an expected due date that may change due to circumstances.

"Estimate" is how long something will take, regardless of circumstances.

When possible, you want to use the word forecast for longer-term projects (especially one spanning multiple quarters) and but use estimate for shorter term projects.

Effective communication is a pain in the ass.

That's an interesting example. I think one thing to keep in mind is that meta-disagreements and disagreements are not the same thing, although they may appear the same. Are you certain this person is saying the function doesn't work the way the documentation says? Or, are they rather being forceful in arguing that the bug is in the function, not in their code, because it behaves in a way they see as being wrong? Those are two different disagreements, but my appear to be the same to outside observers.

Obviously neither myself nor the parent you were replying to are the person you had the disagreement with, so we cannot tell you what was in their mind.

It sounds like, if you have a process that takes a long time to do, you check to see if you already have initiated that process (see if the key is in the list of promises), rather than firing off another promise for the same request.

Great points and a few others to add.

1. Russia has definitely chosen the optimal time to act. Grain harvest is down everywhere due to drought except...Russia (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-62149522) and they naturally benefit. Based on the heating/cooling cycles, the Ukraine land will produce better harvests in the next 10-20 years. So we see Russia impacting Western countries and alliances with grain/oil. China & India are happily importing said oil. Russia still is enjoying its victories in the information war on the West. Obviously militarily, Russia is behind where they would like to be.

2. It's also important to note that artificially low interest rates have allowed businesses to charge more for the same goods/services (sometimes less with "shrinkflation") since consumers/businesses have access to higher lines of credit. High demand inventory is turning over, unemployment is still low, and wages remain stagnant.
