IIRC homicides were up 30% nationwide, but 80% in Portland, OR. That seems like it still stands out from the trend. Dunno about other stats, but property crime tends to correlate with open-air drug use.

The heat death of the universe is a theory that has never been observed. Theories like it depend entirely on our understanding on "esoteric" aspects of reality, which contrary to your belief have brought fantastic benefits to nearly everyone alive today, including you and I, right now sharing our thoughts through magical telepathy, the result of some new instrument finding some new "esoteric" phenomenon like radio waves some time ago.

Very interested in your idea. How does concurrent updates work with the augumented trees? I have been thinking about the same for a while something like CouchDB but segment aggregations (monoid) augumented so we can do interval queries over time too. But the only thing bothering is augumented trees are notorious of contention on concurrent updates. Do you have any ideas on merging back if we have multiple versions of augumented trees.
I’ve seen some people showing actual price increases they’ve seen in their local communities. For a lot of folks it’s much higher than is being reported. Here’s one from a person in Seattle:

I’ve met a lot of seasoned C++ developers who tell me the memory safety won’t be an issue in practice. Hell, I’m sure I’ve said it before too.

I’ve yet to meet one who actually didn’t end up with some safety issue in their code. Not all of their code mind you, but even a couple times can be significant.

Like you, I like memory safe languages because they let me think about my problem and trust the tooling to catch entire classes of mistakes for me

What the fentanyl situation shows is that the real problem with the various decriminalization efforts in the US is that they don’t go far enough.

They also need to be providing legal, vetted, licensed channels that supply drugs to the users so people aren’t using drugs laced with fentanyl.

That’s the quickest, easiest and probably the least likely to succeed solution.
It's mostly to trick people in thinking they don't need as many sensors for a smart home, once the nest is bought the sunk cost fallacy kicks in.
We've had close to 50 years to answer the question "is memory safety necessary to write secure code under normal industry development practices"? During this time dozens of languages have come and gone, and the evidence still overwhelmingly points to "yes". It's going to take a lot to make a convincing argument otherwise, especially since Zig doesn't really do much different from C here, semantically speaking.
Personally find the premise of the article odd. I don’t dislike public transit cause I’m worried I’ll die taking it. I am worried I’ll be mugged, and I know it will be unpleasantly crowded and take a long time.

As for why we find the crashes surprising it’s probably because they’re rare, ie we think of these as safe in this respect, so are surprised when a death occurs. If anything a feather in the cap of public transit.

Ocean's 12 sucked as a movie, and this "plot twist" was just the rancid cherry on top of a steaming pile of nonsense. That's really all that should be taken away from it.

Ocean's 11 was cool and unique, and Ocean's 13 was a good sequel. 12 should be banished (just like Stargate: Origins).
Wow definitely bringing back repressed memories for me - my audi s8 for whatever reason would refuse to stream via a2dp unless I had some music actually on the phone, in which case it would auto play said music after some random delay. So my brilliant solution was a 5 second silent mp3 loaded on my phone - it would keep the bt gods happy and i could switch to a2dp at my leisure. This was perfect, until someone decided to force deploy the same half naked men on my phone.
Not to be dismissive of the proposed solution (spaced repetition, a useful technique), there's two ways to massively improve your comprehension and retention with book material.

One is note-taking - if you know your topic well, you'll be able to speed read many books in your field because you're familiar with the underlying patterns, and making handwritten notes about what's different (or little code snippets embodying edge cases, or similar) will help enormously. The great thing about notes is that they're just for you so you can be as opinionated as you like about what's important and omit context. Even if your notes turn out to be wrong or superficial, they'll still function well for information retrieval when you go back to them (possibly with updates).

The other, which I've found very helpful with topics I don't know well where I'm trying to get a grip on the fundamentals, is to visualize future me teaching the material to someone else. As I think I've grasped a concept, I think about delivering a lecture with the confidence of my new understanding. This opens up space for other parts of my brain to ask questions or challenge assumptions, which I then try to address with the knowledge I've accrued thus far. If I can't, then I didn't really get it and I need to go through the material again.

A small but delicious bonus of this technique is when you do grasp the concept well and then encounter your imaginary question and best-effort answer on a subsequent page, or even in a subsequent book.
Odd that what you call a "luxury industry" is essentially something that poor people have been doing for over a century. I generally agree that trying to eat less meat, especially beef, is a fine idea, but farming, ranching, and BBQ are all industries that are about as far from luxury as you can get. A lot of these foods are based around cooking the cheapest and least edible meats that poor communities could afford to buy.
Could someone in this thread please cite the alluded to cases of disability or death caused by one of the COVID vaccines? It would be helpful if people can be specific. I'd like to understand (1) whether this really happened or is a myth (2) which vaccine and (3) what's the biological mechanism of damage.
Can one do these lessons in any order? For example, do CNN first then jump back to NLP. Or skip the implementation from scratch because I have done a similar one in another course.
Do you mean you want an interactive environment to just write small code samples while learning? Or do you want to do your development after learning in a REPL? I think those are two very different goals.

As to Zig and Rust’s lack of REPL, they are both ahead of time compiled to executable languages. It is not super common for REPLs to be developed with any real frequency or faithfulness. (this is a little different in the functional world for some reason, Haskell, ML, etc have very thorough REPLs, and Koka’s REPL is great).

Zig basically does plan to disallow recursion: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/1006#issuecomment-5346...

More specifically, it'll force you to allocate memory for your recursive functions on the heap (and thus handle the possible resulting OOM condition).
Agree. The perpetrator should go to prison for some sort of criminal fraud or racketeering or whatever a prosecutor can apply. This is serious crime.
Far better.

Because the government isn't, (or at least shouldn't be) beholden to short term interests in the same way those other classes are.

Companies will happily destroy everything around them, poison and impoverish entire nations if not reined in, just to turn a quick buck.

People are extremely short-term, local thinkers in general. Yes, I include myself. Most struggle with delayed gratification, let alone retirement planning.

A government, under the purview of democracy, is needed to try to balance these things out and help a society actually operate. Without one, well, you'll likely end up with Grafton, NH, writ large - https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/21534416/free-state-...

I think one of the possibly-good moves Zig makes, similarly, is using `comptime` for generic types. I don’t have a good sense of how that interacts with parametricity and ability to constrain those (and I suspect that’s an important question!) but it’s an interesting example of a possible trade off that lets the language size space.

If people started doing stuff like banning things because the author is saying things that other people don't like, we'd never buy a Ford.

It's time people learned to be able to distinguish between the product and the producer.

Beethoven's music was banned in Allied countries during WW1 just because Beethoven was German. On the other hand, there was no such ridiculous stupidity in WW2. Beethoven's 5th was even used by the British BBC as a theme during that war. And 'Lili Marlene' was enjoyed by the soldiers of both sides.

If I was Rowling and bloody-minded about all the bullshit over quidditch, I'd use a 'cease and desist' order because of copyright infraction.
I think maybe it's only strange if you assume the SEC has unlimited money and time. Grandparent comment says it better, but they're likely focusing on cases they think are pretty clear-cut.
> there's no rule that says we _have_ to give to our descendants anything at all

The rules of genetic reproduction disagree. You have to give your descendants the information how to grow into a human, or they aren't descendants by definition.

Since we've been steadily reducing genetic information in favor of learned information, by extension you have to teach your children how to be functional human beings, in absence of instinct, or they grow up mentally disabled (in the wider context of society).

Furthermore, inheritance laws literally say you have to give some of your wealth to your descendants. It's 50% in my country. Sure you can spend it all before you die but that's sidestepping the existence of the rules, which very much exist.
> More concerning is that un-named parameters are a compiler error and this cannot be adjusted.

Would you be willing to expand this a bit? This would save you from giving a dummy name in a function?
After Covid: Unhappiness Is Worse Among Single and Non-Religious Americans
Do you disallow function pointers/closures/virtual methods too, since these can be used to smuggle recursion into the semantics without the compiler being able to statically detect it? You'd have to heap allocate every call to a function pointer, which would be very slow (see how much benefit apps get from PGO which for a long time mostly amounted to optimizing virtual calls).
Shootings in general are a very, very rare event. Mandalay Bay was an exceedingly rare event inside that category.

If you're worried about Mandalay Bay, you're right, you will not be returning fire from the ground into an nth floor hotel window with your sidearm.

The other things on the list still apply. Learn to move, learn to use cover, learn to provide basic medical attention. It's not a bad idea to carry a TQ if you're going somewhere with crazy-large groups of people (for reasons other than shootings, which statistically you will not be involved in).

They're designed to be done in order, but yup if you know how SGD works, for instance, you could certainly skip over that bit. The videos all have youtube timestamps, so if you drag the scrollbar you'll see what each section is about.

Or you could do those bits at 2x speed in case there's some concepts there you haven't seen before.

The NLP lesson could possibly work reasonably well standalone if you already know some DL basics, since it uses a different framework (Hugging Face) to the earlier lessons.

The CNN lesson would probably largely make sense if you already understand multi-layer perceptrons, since it mainly shows how a convolution is just a special case of sparse matrix multiplication.
Are you self-teaching? If yes, which resource are you using since I am also thinking of learning it?
There's a difference between a language allowing undefined behavior and a particular program written in that language exhibiting undefined behavior.

The post you're replying to wasn't claiming that no Zig programs have undefined behavior, but rather that it should be be feasible to avoid it in the programs that you write.

(I don't know if that will actually be true, though.)
Tone matters. The comment people don’t like comes across as really callous.
So it’s not snazzy, but I also wrote Objective-C a long time without knowing about NSPointerArray.

Among other things, it can store nil values, which if you’ve written any Cocoa apps, is an all too common way to crash your software.
What is odd is how meat became such a cheap product. The ratio between calories of grains (to feed the cow) to calories of meat is what, 10:1? It is a luxury item. Humans started consuming it in large amounts only in the last 50-100 years.

To comment on the 40 days to make a grant application, yes that's close to what I used to spend. But the worst part is that on most grants you are not alone. I'd estimate participation looks like a power law. PI spends most of the time, another or two helpers spent a good week or so. And then the long tail of others that contribute between a tiny paragraph to nothing. Plus you need to take into account the money and personal management, that takes a chunk of the researcher time. And usually you are also part of committees to review grants and this takes a lot of time too and make the system "work". Now science is not a single person thing on most grants, the PI isn't doing much or at all of the lab work and most of it is done by postdocs, PhDs and other non-tenured personnel. So you can't compare with the old days. Another factor is that in the old days, there was a lot of unnamed personnel that was doing the dirty work of setting up experiments, tabulating data, writing and typing the articles and so on. They also often contributed on the "scientific work" itself, but this often was not recognized either.
I'm always curious for some of these how much it's just a problem of round numbers. Something like the vet visit, I totally believe, but marking down the $1 increase in airport parking cost feels like it's less a percentage and more that they just added 1 to the number because making it cost 36 cents more would just be awkward.

Not that that doesn't cause a problem for the people paying it, but pricing for relatively cheap items is a coarse instrument. If you're a business owner and you have no idea how long inflation will be this high, you maybe just err on the side of pricing in some future price increases now and raising prices more in one go vs. changing them every couple weeks. Most consumer goods aren't like gas where people just expect the price to go up and down constantly day to day.
Apparently, such confidence is misplaced, and people "in control" crash a lot more often than helpless passengers.
You sound like an introvert. Nothing wrong with that. Im an introvert too.

As a general rule, and so long as you're not actively making a severe ass of your presence (you're not - you'd know - you'd have to be trying to do it), consider that the less you care about what other people think socially the more those same people will tend to like you. A quick-and-dirty definition of "Cool" is; Egocentric and Aloof. Self concerned and self interested in short. If you can find a way to adopt that kind of mindset you will notice that gang no longer has any power over your feelings at all. They're really just a bunch of idiots that you don't enjoy spending your valuable time and attention on.

These people have "insecurities" too - it's why they're cliquey in the first place. You're not dealing with a pack of lions here. You're dealing with a pack of hamsters who find strength in numbers.

Enjoy your 3 remote days and gracefully tolerate the 2 in office days. Do your job well as your first (and second) priority. Ask direct questions related to your job via chat or email or whatever. Work "remotely" at the office if that works for you. Same stuff, just down the hall from the coworkers.

Give it 30 days and if it turns around then you won. If you stop caring (you just might) then thats fine too. Alternatively, if in 30 days you still feel the same then it's time to move on.

Ive been in dev shops like this and it wasn't my fault. It's not yours either. Sometimes you just find a group of nasty people and thats how it is. More than likely though, the situation just needs more time to develop.

In the mean time:
* Do your job well
* DO YOUR JOB WELL
* Acknowledge that since you're doing your job well its not your problem
* Be open to the situation changing one day with a simple "hey..." from a coworker (the whole world or at least your view of it can change in one "hey...")
* Be ready to move in the next 30-45 days if the plan fails

Good luck - you got this!
That seems massively susceptible to sampling bias. eg. are you really reporting all of your costs, or only the costs that you noticed going up? Meanwhile BLS provides regional CPI numbers[1], which puts "Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue WA" inflation at 10.1% between Jun 2021 and Jun 2022.

Not sure if by Gen 2 you mean Thinkpad X1 Extreme Gen 2 - if you did, as an owner of the said machine, everything generally works but that is the best I can say about it.

I don’t disagree that various automatic memory management strategies can be very effective and efficient along various metrics. However, there are cases where ‘throwing more hardware’ at a problem is not a viable solution. Typical examples, that I think are broadly understood and commercially available, are soft-real-time simulations with advanced graphics and audio (fancy words for video games) and audio creation/performance/recording. These two areas are typically bound to be using a large portion of consumer computing device resources and GC is typically just too much overhead in certain performance metrics.
I mean, of course the email admins can read your email? Maybe I have a skewed perspective as an old school sysadmin, but when I managed servers that had mail services running on them obviously root can just read everything on disk and we even had spam filters that scanned the email content which is impossible if we couldn’t read all emails.
The fraudster's refusal to confess for 16 years as they saw the field go astray and elderly people suffer is a crime against the health of so many people. If I were a prosecutor I would try to get them for fraud, criminal negligence, or even manslaughter. If I were a vigilante, I would have some strong "words" with this perpetrator who caused so many elderly people to suffer. I hope they are brought to justice within their lifetime while they are still alive to be punished.

2021 did indeed see a growth in homicides over 2020. But 2020 saw an even greater growth in homicides over 2019. Considering the measure was passed in Nov 2020, it’s pretty likely that the rise of homicides in Portland had causes other than Measure 110.
