Truly relevant XKCD https://xkcd.com/1168/
If that is conclusion that is considered within the organization’s custom security and privacy framework, sure.

If there is no such framework, this is no different than yoloing lines of code in a production app by a team that does not have at least some grasp of the architectural principles and constraints at play. Or worse, not understanding the “job to be done” and building the wrong product and solving for the wrong problem.

> The unimaginable runaway success of Fortnite took Epic from "market entrant" status to "dominant industry leader"

The Unreal engine has been around for over twenty years now and has been considered one of the top mainstream engines for over a decade. I'd hardly call that a "market entrant".

As another commenter pointed out, Unreal went freemium two years before Fortnite anyway.
I do this as well with my wife of 10 years, although it's not something we agreed upon -- it just ends up happening in lieu of or in addition to a birthday/anniversary/valentine/whatever gift. Agreed on all points.
My advice is date a lot of women, to get an idea of what you like. Then after that, the next best one you find that comes closest to what you like, marry that one and settle down. Forget about finding anyone better, they may be out there, but you don’t have the time and your lives may not be compatible.

> If consciousness is simply what occurs when you combine senses with the ability to reason and a concept of self

It's possible that you are missing some number between 1 and 10^12 components of consciousness. You can experience for yourself that your own consciousness is not simply composed of your senses, self, and reason through meditation. The initial realization is that the majority of your thoughts are not produced by any of those faculties and seem to arise on their own. So right there you have something not in your list which is pushing fully formed thoughts into your awareness. Pay close attention to your internal state and you soon find that thoughts, sensations, and emotions are happening concurrently and often compete with each other for attention. So this seems to indicate that there are a multitude of processes driving these. Thoughts can even compete with each other for attention so there is seemingly not a single origin for them. Finally, beyond all of that there is definitely something else that I can only describe as a sense of being or what it feels like to simply exist that undergirds all of that mental activity. It's the thing that remains when you take away or look past the other activity and it's always there since with practice you can switch to attending to that sensation at any point. I often wonder if that feeling is what it feels like to be a much simpler organism.

Polar bears don't work on me, because the provided polar bear population numbers are higher than previous years!

The question for me, is why do people believe that there is a problem? Is it that you just have to state polar bears are in trouble? Does anyone check the claims of the climate alarmists?

You should take a look at Al Gore's film again, and see how well that has aged.

Climate alarmists need to answer the claim that they are just boys who cry wolf, imo.
Though if I make a stack of boxes the same size the 80th box will be a smaller proportion of the whole stack as is than the 4th box was, yet the individual boxes feel the same size.

Edit: In saying that, if I was looking up at a stack of 80 boxes and someone added another on top it might feel subjectively like the tower was extended by less of an amount than if it was the 3rd box being added.
I think I just answered that. It's also a piece of software, not a person. The sort of criticism I gave (especially in response to a remark that described another piece of software as "horrendous") is imminently fair game.

As for persons, I like the decisions that Hewitt made when he made DOM Inspector before going on to do Firebug. It was like UNIX pipes (incl. that you can string them together to arbitrary lengths), but with dynamic visual inspectors on each side, instead of bytestreams/text. Firebug was not that. It was one step forward, two steps back.
As a dilletante, I sadly found this post rather impenetrable.

* There is a function L(q,q'), the Lagrangian. How do I compute this function? Does it have an analytical expression? How does it depend on p or F?

* There is a parameter s, "sending q to some new position q(s)". Do you mean q is actually a function q(s)? Do I define q(s) any way I want, or do I solve q(s) given the constraints of the system?

I wonder whether working out a very simple example, e.g. point moving on a line subject to force F, would have made this post a bit more readable for a wider audience.

Stealth Edit: Many many thanks for the explanations! This makes so much more sense now.
The immediate following sentence from the one you quoted was:

> This is purely because the PaaS tooling let them efficiently be both Devs and Admins.

It wasn't the cloud which made them successful, it was the level of automation baked into the PaaS solution(s) they built on top of. I thought I was pretty clear on that, but I suppose I could have been more clear.

You could similarly get success if you had an OnPrem solution with really great orchestration layers. And in fact, I've heard of such successes (but not seen up close) of teams doing exactly that with Pivotal Cloud Foundry.

I’d agree but don’t think it’s the right comparison for this discussion. It’s more about how much prices have to come down from their recent highs to offset the recent uptick in interest expense.

I bought my first home at end of the last recession (price at floor for my market) and maximized my leverage (little down) AND got low rates. So I did great and assuming you did the same it probably worked out the same for you. But the high rates now make the math a bit more complicated. And, I don’t know if I’d assume the same level of appreciation I did back then. At that time, the recession was a few years in and it felt like that bulls were awakening so I was very confident in my purchase. Right now, it’s early in the recession, we don’t even know how long/far prices will decline, and rates are pretty high and most assets feel inflated. So, I wouldn’t feel very confident about it right now. I’d actually recommend most people just do lowish down, hope for a refi opportunity in a couple years, but make sure you have some cash for repairs/maintenance/rainy days as well.

In any case, how much does a home price have to come down to offset interest rates climbing? It’s a lot. Probably something like 20% (I can’t do the math rn)
> Having to explain yourself long form leads to people attacking you and often being correct.

Typically, people just take a paragraph or so of a long form political argument out of context and use it to call the person making the argument evil. Which is basically the same principle as the typical political attack ad where you take a sentence your opponent said out of context to make your opponent look like a crazy extremist.

With a short form discussion platform, you can just go straight to the personal attacks, name-calling and out of context distortions of the other side's beliefs. Then we wonder why we suddenly live in a country where the 2 political parties can't compromise on anything and where one of the top political priorities for both parties is prosecuting and jailing their political opponents. I think its very dangerous to view most political discussion being short form context free hot takes as either inevitable or healthy for a government based on free and fair elections (such a norm, however, is probably beneficial to the long term stability and security of a dictatorship). In a society with a democratically elected government, you need free, civil and respectful discussion of issues and a basic level of respect for those who disagree with you. Remove those things and democracy dies just like a plant dies if you deprive it of water and dirt.

I disagree becuse rote repetition is the only way to learn how to draw. One cannot simply draw something complex without trying out again and again to draw something.

For sports rote repetition is basis to excel or at least getting good at any sport.

I agree one cannot "memorize to understanding" because one has to actually apply what he memorized in practice.
Hmm, the EU also has stricter emission requirements from ICE cars, so above some displacement (roughly 1500cc or so I think), manuals are becoming rare, as better emissions means turbos, which means higher revs, which means more gears (7-8) at which point a manual becomes a pain in the ass.

Manuals are not long for this world (unfortunately): the low end (smaller engines, city cars) are likely to go EV or auto for comfort in traffic and the high end is likely to go auto for performance/emissions.
> There are other possibilities.

They are unprovable but irrefutable delusions or part of frameworks people made up to come to peace with the truth.

My experience being on a team that owned its infrastructure was that it wasn't really a terrible experience per se, but there was so much time between stories that required infra changes that the context decay was massive.

True, for some value of "successful". A bench trial is much cheaper than a jury trial, and is much less likely to come up with the "wrong" verdict. Bench trials are characteristic of justice in authoritarian countries.

Kind of random but none the less still horribly brutal.
no it wont even chamber, however there is a further nuance.

most current AR chambers are .223 / 5.56 WYLDE chamber meaning both will fit and function.

the problem comes from a straight up old school .223 being fed 5.56.

the evolved gas pressure is higher for the 5.56 round, and will probably work for a while, will put extreme use on the rifle and will eventually malfunction probably with similar results to the .300BLK problem.

a 5.56 can be forced to chamber in a 7.62 chamber, but is about 6mm too long so you will know theres a problem

7.62 nato of standard configuration wont fit the lede [ogive] of the 5.56 chamber unless you shove really hard with a mallet.

what you may see is a lower receiver stamped for 5.56 NATO

It's not something I even thought about, but I guess I see the point, I just don't agree. In the HTTP handlers it makes sense that you don't have return values, because: What would you do with that value exactly?

The HTTP handler should always ensure that "something" is returned, at the very least a return code. Once something has been returned to the client, can you really argue that there's an error?

There's a point to the risk of missing return value, you just run the risk of complicating the request flow by adding it. I'd argue that most people would view the code path as having ended, once the client receives a response. The request shouldn't really continue on the server end after that. There can be background processing, go routines or something like that, but that's a bit different, as it doesn't involve the original requests-response.

That’s correct. But given that GitHub is a publicly available website, the only way they can prevent employees of that company from being aided by the GitHub website is to remove that company’s code from their website. And because users can create accounts freely without proving employment information, their only way of determining which users could be affiliated is by activity.

This is a far different standard. If we're talking about banning people because they seem like they might get charged with something, that's just a blacklist.

Perhaps, you are right. Their vested interest is in making more $ for AAPL shareholders. The sands may shift. There are incoming regulatory pressures and what not.

Germany is extremely likely to have the driest summer on record (the summer goes to end of August, but unless we have some pretty extreme rain in the next three weeks we are never going to catch up). The amount of rainfall is about half of 2003 and significantly lower compared to the second lowest which was 2019. So there really is not much presedence. Let's not even talk about the fact that all the extreme events have been in the last 20 years (and most in the last 10). We are past the point where we can say we can't blame single events on climate change. We are pretty much in the territory where all events now are.
I don't think there's any argument that we, along with animals, are genetically programmed to be altruistic towards our kin.

In the SF area, the redwoods are dying off from heat/drought. The pines and oaks are being hit with disease. On balance, the oaks seem to be replacing the redwood forests, but everything is thinning out.

The mountain forests in Southern California (near Yosemite, etc) have been burnt out hellscapes for years.

Of course, this is all rounding error vs. the loss of 90% of the kelp forest, which many people didn't notice, since it's underwater. The kelp biomass the has been lost in the last few years is equal to 100% of the redwood forests.

As I like to shout from the rooftops, gasoline could be made carbon negative with a ~ $1/gallon direct air carbon capture tax. (And similar for the other fossil fuels.). I recently saw $7.99 / gallon, so that's a bit over a 10% tax in some areas.

Yes, poor people need gasoline too. We should tax new ICE vehicles at some astronomical rate and plow the money into steeper EV subsidies.

Alternatively, we could tax ICE new vehicles so (assuming they run for 250K miles) the purchaser pays 100% of the carbon recapture cost up front.

We could also allow for community net metering so poor high density areas could establish nonprofit solar/wind farms that lower their electricity bills.

As far as I can tell, all these plans are deficit neutral and would also boost the economy.

I jumped to Firefox 1.5 as soon as it was out and had my entire friend circle in on it within a few months.

When Chrome eventually came out I added it to my arsenal because it was new and there was an expectation that it would be as revolutionary as Firefox had been. And it was pretty good, much faster than ff was by that time. Never did give up ff entirely but Chrome ended up open more and more. Contrast to ie6 that I never opened again as soon as ff was available. I did check out ie7 when it came out but there was no reason to stay with it. Very much a catch up move.
