Somewhat of a random anecdote, but the first time I realized this was when I was in HS. I participated in what you may call a "hackathon". It was really just a competition open to HS kids that involved building an app to a spec.

I was lucky I have a friend with absolutely amazing artistic abilities, who did a lot of work on our UI and logo and I confidently say we had the best work out of everyone we completed with, both in terms of appearance and functionality.

But when it came time to present our work, I noticed something, while I never doubted our technical competences basically everyone before us had public speaking ability on the level of a politician. Nearly everyone else slaughtered us in terms of being able to present their work to the judges.

At the end of the day, our technical and artistic abilities paid off well enough, placing us just barely high enough to move on to another level, but it was clear, even if we were technically solid, we had approached the competition all wrong. We probably could have placed higher with a worse application, but better presentation.
Because hiring tech talent is hard. Especially when you don’t have much tech expertise yourself.
The newer generation is definitely very much ok with it. I've stopped taking or discussing privacy issues at certain circles because I basically get called paranoid boomer.
She probably has an underlying condition that's not being addressed. Autoimmune is quite common, but could be lots of things. Diet changes are sometimes enough.

Sometimes a massage gun and Bob and Brad youtube channel will fix muscle knots that are the real issues.
Does this then count as a sort of "holographic time"? Encoding two dimensions on a single stream of time.
Even if you consider it murder-more-or-less, the hard dependence on another person's body puts it in a different category of transgression.

Consider:

You watch someone die in front of you while you hold in your hands the thing that could save their life, but refuse to give it. Is that murder? Maybe, possibly, there's an argument that it's something else but I'm comfortable with this. Should a person be allowed to do it? Again maybe, but I'm ok with no, that's a bad crime, they shouldn't be allowed to do it.

You watch someone die in front of you while the thing that could save them comes from your own body. A blood transfusion, say, or whatever, a fingernail clipping, it doesn't matter really. This is morally the same transgression as the first example. But in this case we have clearly and consistently decided that you are allowed to make this choice. It may be evil but it is not a crime.

If you don't allow the second choice, then you open the door to things like medical experiments on nonconsenting people and organ harvesting. The boundary around bodily autonomy needs to be firm or you permit atrocities.

Abortion may be murder! You can believe it is. But the fact that the life depends on the body of another person means they have the choice not to render aid.

The pandemic forced many boutique personal training businesses to go virtual. Discover Strength out of Minneapolis is a leader in high-intensity personal training, and they have organized the Resistance Exercise Conference (REC) for more than ten years now. You can hear what a Discover Strength virtual session is like on a recent podcast[0]. They have a free introductory virtual session, and after that sessions are about $41/half hour. No matter where you live, you can sample a personal trainer for free, and compare the professionalism of their trainers with what you have locally. I attended the REC last year, though I train in my local physical gym (LA Fitness with pretty good Nautilus machines).

Good to know I could rent on Airbnb and unknowingly 100% of my expense could go straight to the platform, due to a host's previous cancellation on an otherwise unrelated reservation.
Anybody knows if there is similar pattern for Python's asyncio?
This is the most sanitized version of what actually happened. Isn't he being investigated by the IRS?
Exactly. I'd love to hear about folks' most beloved swag and sticker acquisitions! This is where people's affinity and affiliation is shown.

In my own career, I remember my first IBM "THINK" button back in the 1980s, as well as my first six-colored "Apple" stickers. Showed them off with pride.

I saw the story above about the "200 OK" t-shirt. I still wear t-shirts for an industry I haven't worked for in over two decades.

This is where brands aren't fighting for your attention. You're happy to champion them. Because you are sold on their tech, and you consider yourself part of their tribe. Or it just has some sort of totally obscure geeky formula or tech reference that only you and others in the tribe will get the in-joke.
I just went to RT from the US. This whataboutism doesn't work.
>That's not how it works.

They didn't say that's how it works. They were proposing a potential solution to achieve better balance, per the GPs question.
Sometimes there are literally no other options? Not sure if I've ever visited a place with no hotel.
“Did anyone get the number of that donkey cart?”

Same for me! Except I played it on PS1. I didn’t find out about the book series until like 10 years after. For better or for worse I now have a picture in my brain for Rincewind, Twoflower, and The Luggage purely based on the game. But still love it.
Yep, that's the NSAID-acetaminophen-caffeine trifecta that Excedrin uses (and it's generic counterparts, of course).
They really need to quantify this risk. Simply saying it 'increases the risk' is just scaremongering.
In fairness, when they started Ingress, Google Glass was in Beta testing. We all KNEW it was just around the corner. The videos of being able to SEE the portals in the real world had us drooling. And then...it never happened.

Microsoft used AR fantastically in Minecraft Earth, I might add. The thing that killed this attempt was the fact that the game didn't run well on any currently existing hardware (I had a Pixel 5 and could watch the battery drain in real time...nevermind feeling like I should be wearing gloves to combat the heat). When doing an adventure in ME, if skeletons were shooting at you, you dodged by ACTUALLY DODGING, which was definitely a novel experience (and made for looking like a total fool in the park...but hey, you're playing Minecraft in the park). It feels like at some point, this sort of thing is inevitable, but the hardware may be what is ultimately holding things back for now.

Niantic's attempts at visual AR haven't been nearly as interesting -- not sure if this is just knowing that the hardware wouldn't hold up, or not having the vision to implement it. They used to at least have the interest in immersive alternate reality gaming that tied in nicely, but that seems to be a long gone thing of the past.
I think we as a species must rid ourselves of selfishness and greed. We need to think beyond the timelines of our own existence.

Alas, I fear those traits may be too deeply rooted in our our own nature and nurture that our demise may be inevitable.

Although I agree number of commits is not a meaningful metric, it seems a bit... wrong.

I think if you're happy with this, then OK. For me, 2 hours is an awful lot of work for this.
Let's say for argument's sake it does go to the guest. What does $1,000 whenever Airbnb decides to credit your account, help you when you're stranded. I can only assume Airbnb pockets the fee because nowhere in their documentation do they state the guest receives the money, otherwise they would outright state it.
> I've found the only things that can cure a hangover are time or more alcohol.

Hangovers are due to the aldehydes accumulated IIRC when your body clearance process for alcohol is overrun.

NAC before alcohol or even better, Emoxypine prevents that. Other things might work (vitamin C, glycine) but are less efficient.

Emoxypine is really a miracle cure!
This is same for me. It was great value in 2012 and product was good enough to keep using. I subscribed to Resharper before that but now use the other products like datalink. The fact that a personal license can be used at work also helped my adoption of the tools.
Reading is my only hobby right now (I'm able to fit it in around kids) so I aim for 3-4 books a month. Most of what I read is non-fiction, but technical books take a long time to finish so I'd say I finish ~10 technical books a year.

I won't say I remember everything I read, but I highly recommend reading as much as possible. My career has been on an upswing the past few years and I have to think reading more has been a contributing factor.

Reading has been particularly helpful at my current job where I don't have any mentors or more senior people to learn from, books have helped fill at least some of that gap.

Of course, I'm not pretending the opposite. In practical terms, with finite precision, there no need for infinite streams. There are other comments in this thread about alternate approaches.

Ignoring issues of convergence etc., the approach in the post can technically reach a level of precision approaching infinity. At the end of the day, this is just a neat demonstration of something which is made more elegant by infinite streams.

Edit: I see the wording in my parent comment wasn't great. I meant:

> ... but (the elegance of) this post would not have been possible without infinite streams. Pretty cool stuff.
How to sell to developers:

1. Go to your local Hackerspace (or makerspace). If you don't have a Hackerspace in your city - create one.

2. Sit there with your target audience. Don't be pushy.

3. Solve their problem with your solution, in real-time.

Also, you should spend like half of my time on Meetup.com and try to attend all possible dev-oriented events where you could pitch my product. Time consuming, but rewarding. Worked with https://aidlab.com/developer
Punishing bad behavior is critical for any social group. If people know that no matter how much they break the social contract you're not going to do anything about it, the social contract no longer exists. This goes for both future interactions with the person who made the transgression, as well as third parties who are aware of the transgression.

Now a rational actor would carefully evaluate the consequences of possible responses to come up with an appropriate option and if the cost of their feud were greater than the likely reward then they'ed simply let it go. While it leads to better outcomes, this is a slow and draining process.

On the other hand, a simple "eye for an eye" response will often lead to suboptimal results, particularly when the perceived sleight is very different from the actual transgression, but people still will be hesitant to mess with you all the same. While in our modern era of functional justice systems this approach is generally unnecessary, the overwhelming majority of our evolutionary history did not contain such a luxury.

I don't know how well they work (if at all) but there's quite a market for 'hangover cure' drinks in Japan[0], and I've heard of a tradition of drinking citrusy supplements or anything high in Vitamin C in Japan. It always sounded off to me, but I suppose it would help with mineral depletion.

I guess attributing a nice quote to a respected person makes it a little extra viral, and so it can outcompete the correctly attributed version.

I will always be sad this one is wrong:

For me, a big part of Wordle’s success was its share text. It shows exactly how you played the game without giving away the puzzle. It also gives a really simple score x/6 which allows you to brag easily supporting your number 3. I also like that there is no link embedded.
Neurotypical people are often lying to you when they pretend to acknowledge they were wrong. Autistic people are less likely to follow the social ritual of being polite to your face before going back to doing things the way they were before.

Also, the autistic mind does not handle change very well. So it's usually not an ego thing about being wrong like a neurotypical person, it's a panic attack inducing psychological response to the world not working according to the mental model.
My grandfather was given a Guinness daily when he was in the hospital recovering from colon surgery in the 1960s. It was thought the iron in it was helpful.
AirBnB has gotten so expensive with fees. Not only that, most AirBnBs I have rented, have looked nothing like the pictures when I get there. The last one in NYC had cockroaches, with over 100 good reviews. Perhaps them doing this signals confidence and strength in their business, but the act of renting a place is almost like online dating. Everything looks great until you meet in person.

This happened to me the first time I used AirBnB in 2016. I was attending a music festival in NYC, booked an AirBnB a month in advance in Brooklyn. 4 days before my flight the host cancels on me and I got a surge of anxiety. I tried to find other hosts on such short notice. I found someone one day before my flight (he rented out his apartment for 3 days and just stayed with a friend, also his first time using AirBnB).

The experience of getting cancelled and having no repercussions to the host was extremely off putting to me. I had no idea on what to do at the time, as the site loves to not handle edge cases that completely sour your experience with the product. Why they simply couldn't have an error screen that said, "your host cancelled? please do the following and checkout these hosts who ARE available and reliable."

This was my first and last time using AirBnB. Maybe it changed now, but I tell everyone I know to just rent a hotel instead. Such a shame too because I love AirBnB when it comes to engineering but the product itself I will never use again.
This is, I think, most appealing. I do need to know a product exists but the most important thing is when I land on the product page am I going to find a free product that turns into a $10k/yr product? Is there going to be a price range that’s suitable for my use case? Having a good range of offerings and skus makes a huge difference on whether I actually pull the trigger or not.
That was a good boss
I can't believe how fast this is happening. I used to see millions of them, covering and almost dripping from trees like sap, in Santa Cruz.
out of curiosity, how much applied math should one bone up on? (Obviously the more the better, but diminishing marginal returns and all that.)
Toronto has some special purpose lanes that "green" vehicles* are allowed to use, in addition to buses and HOVs. But I'm pretty sure the new HOV lanes on the 400 don't include green vehicles, and at some point I expect "green" vehicles to lose this special privilege.

* You can apply to get a green licence plate if your car meets certain emissions standards.
Maybe get a hard plastic pond liner and a pond pump.

You can treat it like a pool, which would work too, and periodically clean it.

Given the discourse on their website, FB should have known the optics here would spur negative pieces like this. That said, not buying the insinuation that CIA itself is influencing their former employees. Former employees shouldn't carry a scarlet letter with them to companies they go to after leaving government. The author's history of sensationalist posts in defense of authoritarian govts is pretty suspect as well.
sounds like they had three cups of tea while writing that sentence.
I picked it back up the other day ultimately thanks to this thread and remembering how much better things were in their early days, and am giving it another go, as I ultimately put it down giving their later offerings a shot. They've added in Adventure Sync, which, in conjunction with Quantum Capsules, is something I've been after for awhile, particularly now that I no longer live in a city (it lets you dupe items you already have based on walking distances...very handy if you're not in an area where there are people to easily come together to make P8 farms). Even with fewer players around I instantly got sucked into some adversarial shenanigans with another player or two in town, which was always the fun of the game in the first place.

Niantic would do well to remember its roots.
Are any of these regions in the top 10 or 15 world economies?

Someone is trying to waste everyone’s time by saying “you want nuclear energy everywhere?!”

Small countries are a rounding error for global emissions.

If the world’s 10 or 15 largest economies…
Amazing that they're downvoting you to oblivion.

The same people who caused this man to leave the game have been harassing someone IRL over their personal politics and sending letters to their employer.

I'm so tired of "whataboutism" being used to as some attempt to shut down an argument. It is perfectly valid to point out hypocritical arguments.

OP is just holding a reference to a single entry in the vector. You could write whatever you want to that entry, but it's not going to change the length of the vector. In some sense the problem is that Rust is not "fine grained" enough to figure out that OP's access pattern is valid.

If you want to go some places off-season Airbnb and friends are the main option; the only hotel in town closes for the winter at many towns in national parks, etc.

> "we shouldn't give 11 year olds puberty blockers, wait until they are 18 to choose"

the puberty blocker exists solely to give them the time to choose, it's not the same thing as transitioning itself. Denying puberty blockers is letting nature force the choice.

Along with your suggestion that "3 year olds are being given genital surgery" as another commenter highlighted - like it or not you are repeating bigoted conservative talking points here and I think what you are seeing is not "I have to walk on eggshells to avoid upsetting people" but people's valid and legitimate negative reactions to bigoted opinions that you are espousing.

For the record, just because OAN is even more reactionary than you, doesn't make the things you're saying centrist, they're still reactionary and bigoted.
> (or I'm too biased to realize they're just confirming my own views.)

If you genuinely care, this is the real answer.

Lignite is a poor fuel for many reasons, but that handwavey part about solar and lignite being worse than lignite and it's all a big scam that the silly greens are too stupid to notice is just totally wrong.

As is the bit about green collapse he predicts when it is discovered to "not work" in Europe.

It's a very weird argument, since he's admitting it works (sort of) in California and Texas but still has a weirdly negative tone about it and Greens.

Basically, it's just yet another fallback position for people who have been consistently wrong about energy policy for decades and still feel able to poke fun at Greens for being unrealistic, because their audience is so misinformed.

California imports 90% of its natural gas from other states. If that was somehow threatened to be cut off, California would struggle too. It would tell us nothing about renewables, and tell us everything about how your neighbours being dicks to you can be a hassle. Which is actually a selling point for renewables and helps drive Chinese interest, since they don't won't to rely on others for fuel.
> People in the US are able to freely travel between states, this isn't the case elsewhere in the world.

Do you know of countries with a federal government and where people can't travel freely between the member states? The ones I know don't have this problem so I'm not sure how that's something unique to the US.
It is interesting that the split does seem irrelevant these days.

Reflecting back, it seems to me like a lot of the wind spilled from continental sails after Derrida died with no clear intellectual inheritor.

Anyway, this is an interesting insight, thanks.
> The western population is at greatest risk of extinction, having declined by an estimated 99.9%, from as many as 10 million to 1,914 butterflies between the 1980s and 2021.

Insane. I wonder if recovery is even possible without devoted breeding efforts. A population this small could easily be wiped out by birds or a single storm.
For comparison, if a Marriott/Hyatt/Hilton/IHG/Choice hotel is unable to accommodate your reservation, you obviously do not pay anything for that night, but they also have to pay and arrange for your first night’s stay somewhere else, and for a ride to and from that place (if they are bringing you back).

If the staff at the hotel does not abide by the walk policy, you can call the 800 number to complain, and they will send you a check for your expenses and then bill the hotel.
