As a parent of kids in public schools in a state that has open carry laws, school shootings are definitely top of the list of things I hate about America. And yes, I do think banning guns is on the table for me as a solution to this problem. I would wholeheartedly vote for representative who support banning guns. Spare me your lecture on 2A, if you think your rights to carry assault weapons reigns over the life of kids, then there is not much to debate about. Its astounding that gun proponents refuse to accept that Kids exists in all other countries across the world and kids are kids with their video games, all of their insecurities and mental health problems but America is the only country where school shootings are rampant.

Mostly because condo owners seem to be fine deferring maintenance until "later" and only are willing to pay for it when forced by the government or when it gets so bad that banks stop issuing mortgages on them.

Condos are all the proof to me that you cannot count on your neighbour to be more than a slug and should do all you can to detach your life from theirs.

> How much more financial responsibility can a lot of these owners bear?

All of it? They let their buildings fall down over 30 years...
Ew, you give your TV an IP? DNS isn't magic, I've seen numerous devices try DNS, but then fall back to IPs. Found out my TV fingerprints what I watch and uploads that to a central server to analyze what I'm watching, even if I'm watching local content. That was the end of my TVs access to the internet. I bought a Roku and the netflix, youtube, and amazon prime clients run WAY better than they did on the TV, nicer remote as well.

> ...just what is necessary for a reasonably intelligent reader to understand the material.

What about readers who aren't "reasonably intelligent" (which often means "quite a bit more intelligent than the typical person")?

> To be more clear, I don't believe that your explanation could possibly be a good reason for these stories being included in a self help book, but without precluding they may serve another purpose.

What's the reason for your emphasis there? Are you reading the "self" part too literally or idiosyncratically? IIRC, the "self" just means the book is meant to help the reader with his problem without personal guidance from some professional. It doesn't mean the reader is supposed to figure it out on his own.

As I've gotten older, I've gotten more wary of certain biases that engineer-types often tend to indulge in. One of them is along the lines of "I'm so smart, I think I can figure it out on my own, therefore everything I think I don't need is unnecessary." Another is temptation to confirm one's intelligence by seeing the "real" reason as some cynical ploy that works on lesser people.

Also, I'm not saying every self-help book is good, or that it never happens that examples are truly just padding. It's just that there's good, non-cynical reasons to not to reduce everything down to some pithy list of axioms, and I know for a fact that at least one well-regarded one is structured that way, and it was a bit of a slog because of all the examples and stuff that didn't connect with my particular circumstance (but there's no way for someone I never met writing a couple years before my birth to tailor anything to me).

At least crypto helped you figure out that at the end of the day, it's just business.
Lets take it to extreme: you need very little resources (transistors) to implement Turing Machine, but providing enough microcode (which is very simple structure on silicon - it is ROM, which is trivial and very dense comparing to complex logic) you could emulate any complex ISA on this machine.

For real world example, you could have divider as very complex logic device or as small patch of ROM implementing "school" algorithm in terms of (hardware implemented) additions, shifts and subtractions.
Fair. I've been told I can be a real asshole when I get to arguing. Sorry.
There is a reason alcoholism (and drug addiction) and ADHD strongly correlate. Coping and self medication are a big deal when it feels there is no other tools available or the negative externalities just get to be too severe. Add in addictive personality traits common to ADHD folks and it is quite a thing to overcome for more significant ADHD sufferers.

>What does anyone really NEED, a crossbow for?

This isn't a very compelling argument, and it's kinda intellectually dishonest because you wouldn't accept any answer I gave you. You are now acting as "dear leader," who decides what individuals do or don't need.

Why does anyone NEED to go over 10 miles per hour, why does anyone NEED more than one pair of shoes? Why does anyone NEED coffee, tea, beer, lots of things, why does anyone NEED a fast computer? Why does anyone NEED cologne or perfume? Why does anyone NEED dessert? Why does anyone NEED fashionable clothes? Why does anyone NEED art? How do you even justify that outside of a profit motive in a way you will accept? See it's a trick you are playing.

Of course to answer your question, a gun would be the preferred tool. If you ever go camping in the woods, they are certainly handy. If someone tries to rape or murder you, it would certainly come in handy. If you were a woman (or a man even) and attracted a crazy stalker, invaluable. If you have a massive plague where the police stop working and society stops functioning correctly, it would certainly come in handy. Remember covid?

>These things will now be put under weapons regulation, and will be basically unavailable to the general public.

Of course, someone will kill someone with a bow and arrow, then it will be banned, then someone will kill someone with a knife, and they will ban the "scary looking" ones. Then someone will use a slingshot and those will get banned. You know it's all just a theatrical overreaction at that point to placate the hysterical masses.
> Are you upset when an agricole machine is using the public roads?

Nope.

2) Tractors obey all traffic lights and laws and behave predictably.

3) I've never seen a tractor driver act aggressively towards a car.

Exposure. Try a lot of software, like everything you can possibly get your hands on to play with. Start with your area of interest, or focus of work, but don't limit yourself to your space. Try as many applications from as broad of fields as you can. Try to find something you like about everything you try. Try to articulate exactly what you like about it. Try to find something you hate about it. How would you improve that thing you hate? Practice thinking critically.

You'll start to collect ideas and make connections of interesting interaction patterns. Maybe the way they handle a mini-map in a random GIS software you tried would be perfect for an unrelated music composing app you are trying to build. Maybe you see a great settings config in an a 3d texturing program, or a video game, but it has exactly the range of features you need.
Another side note, doing a 4-day work week for engineering is a great and productivity boosting practice, but it shouldn't be seen as a carte blanche to not compensate them for after-hours emergencies. If you have a 4-day work week, then 32 hours a week is their normal full-time number of hours that you are compensating them for. When you ask them to go beyond this, you need to compensate them for their time.
> but I'm pretty sure folks there make appointments and show up at work/school at a specific time.

Your recollection is perfectly correct, we certainly do make and keep appointments!
I assume that means foods that aren't just sugar and empty calories in general.

Crypto has been around almost as long as the smartphone and so far the only applications which have emerged are crime and wild speculation. After fourteen years, any rational person should be pretty skeptical that any application that isn't "evading regulations" or speculation will ever appear.

Unfortunately, the biggest hole in unionization is that the company can unilaterally shut down the store/office AFTER the union is granted by the NLRB.

It is illegal to go after individuals responsible for helping unionizing. It's also illegal to say that they will shut it down prior to unionization as a threat. But doing so afterward is 100% legal.

Walmart's done this. Starbucks is doing this right now. And many other stores that are unionizing/unionized are being just closed with no warnings.
Buying stocks and bonds is spending the money. You've given the money to somebody else in exchange for something. Now they have the same choice as you did - spend or save.

If you save it in a tax free savings account even better. The bank holding the offsetting reserves then does the buying via the DMO cash management process.
Reducing bias means affecting the data, instead of letting the end user just choose an appropriate image generated by a clean data set.
That’s a great breakdown. Some online regex testers do do that common grouping as well.

A crisis is acute and inherently short-term. But despite mountains of marketing meant to make it a series of deadlines and checkpoints, climate change is a fundamentally continuous, long-term problem that grows a little more every day.

The Ukraine situation by contrast had the contours of a crisis, and so did COVID-19 in the beginning. And in both cases we in the "developed" world watched our leaders squabble and foible and generally reveal their total unpreparedness. I can see how that's depressing.

Sorting out the numbers here:

- 15 vans.

- 37,000 trips / week (6-day service). I suspect most are on weekdays.

- 6,170 trips/day

- 13.5 hour operation (5:30 am - 7 pm)

- ~457 trips / hour

- ~30 trips / van-hour

I'm not sure how many seats per van, though I suspect 6--9 (3 rows of 3 seats). If a trip is 15 minutes, then that's an average of 7.5 passengers/trip.

Keep in mind that net trips includes the deadhead (no passenger) portion.

The ridership numbers seem unusually high to me. I'd be interested in seeing trip profiles.

By comparison, BART in the SF Bay Area has an annual ridership of over 20 million, and over 104,000 weekday riders. (I also suspect a Bart rider is two trips.) Bart moves 3x what Wilson are claiming for weekly numbers, and roughly as many people in an hour as Wilson does in a day. The Transbay Tunnel can accommodate 24 ten-car trainsets per hour. Each car can carry more than 200 passengers at crush load, or 48,000 passengers/hour for the tube as a whole.

Looking at the usage of is_integer, personally I would write something like parse_integer(x: str) -> Optional[int], where the None variant represents a caught ValueError; this avoids parsing the integer twice but achieves basically the same effect (in a very similar style).

What would you propose as "more pythonic" here? Writing your own integer parsing code, by looking at the ASCII values of each character in the string?

Same. I've travelled by bus in many cities on three continents and never experienced anything like that. The worst bus I've been on was in San Francisco but even that was pretty clean and decent.

I haven't owned a car for three years and public transit has been fine most of the time, but I live in a city that prioritises public transit. On the rare occasion that I can't get a bus somewhere there is a car sharing service I can fall back on.
I noticed that if I block 8.8.8.8 from google assistants and advertise (via IPv4 and IPv6) that they wait 5 seconds for 8.8.8.8 to fail, then retry on the local DNS server. So when you say "ok google, what's the temperature?" you get an annoying 5 second delay.

Frustrating that google assistants ignore the DNS server presented to them.

I don't know if this will help with your mindset at all, but as someone who's been listed as the secondary if the first responder doesn't answer: I really wouldn't beat yourself up over it. Self-correction is fine, but try not to let it drag you down too far. We have the same worries too. Our worries are usually "Crud. If I don't pick up, then it's either going to (big boss) or the customer is going to be firing off nasty emails in the morning and dragging me into some stupid meeting." The cause of why we're being paged doesn't really come into play. At most, I might just send a text or whatever to the first responder, to make sure that they're okay. "What if they aren't responding because they were in a car accident?"

If you have a good manager - and it sounds like you do, since you weren't reprimanded for performing a fundemental human function - then they are probably doing their best to look out for you and your interests. When people talk about "not being the boss" or "working as a team" or whatever, generally what they're trying to get at is that "They have your back". They've been in your position and have probably felt that same crush of emotion and worry that you might deal with. They are meant to be the final filter, in a hierarchy of filters, to protect you from those outside elements which ruin your ability to work effectively.

If you put in a sincere effort at your job, you have nothing to feel guilty over. That might be easier said than done, but it really is true. It just might take some time and practice to be able to forgive yourself when you make a mistake.

And if you feel like you could be doing a better job at this, or at that, then you just need to permit yourself the time to improve on that thing, and to remind yourself that you are allowed to mess up from time to time. It's about how you learn from those things.
Like I said, there were still issues back then. You're right, happiness is individual, not cultural. But one culture can be happier, on average, than another. And if I'm not just romanticizing the past it does genuinely seem like people were happier back then. The economy was booming. The United Nations seemed to promise global peace. We were taking our first steps into space. It seemed like there was a whole world of possibilities back then, not just economically but in the arts as well.

> Why would anyone hire someone just to make sure they stayed busy? That is simply not happening.

I’ll give you an example. My wife worked as an intensive case manager, where the job was ostensibly to help severely ill people manage their lives. Was that her actual job though? No, her actual job was filling out reams of paper work instead of actually helping anyone. That paperwork was sent to the state and the company got paid, with the vast majority of the money going to executives.

What would happen if her job were eliminated? Would the people be worse off? No, the whole point was to not help them and keep the state aid checks coming in. My wife wasn’t using her skills and was depressed and stressed all the time so she’d be better off if that job had never existed. Then there were the 3 layers of middle management coordinating all of the form filling. Their job was wholly redundant, and they didn’t do any meaningful work at all. Did they even need to exist? It’s not clear, but their existence didn’t work toward actually helping any real people. They just helped collect government checks. They were paid well though.

The people who would be harmed the most by that “work” not getting done are the executives.
