same here. I recently moved but until that happened I had used the same husband and wife couple for something like 5 years. The husband is a bit of a handyman so they've picked up other work from me as well (fixing privacy fence, replacing things around the house, working on my car, and so forth).

I've had them call me up because they were stuck in town due to a car breakdown and what not, and I've happily given them rides to places.

Thing is, they both used to be into drugs, and they both got clean. My impression of them (especially the wife) is that they're hard working, honest people and I wish them the best in life. They're about 4 years from outright owning their house and I'm happy for them. They recently ran into car trouble and I've asked my brother to see if he can find something in their price range (strange as it sounds, his hobby is finding cheap vehicles and getting decent use out of them).

At the end of the day we're all just people trying to get through life. I'm not trying to take advantage or cause harm and I trust they're not trying to take advantage or cause harm. We have our life circumstances and for this moment we're here, together. That sounds a bit like the temporary friend thing from fight club, but in some ways I think it's true.
- Create a call stack map and write it down - This will give you an overview of which classes, functions, methods, paths are being used.

- People look down on console/logging, but it's useful specifically when there are race conditions or too many variables. It's way better to have several outputs and logs rather than a "standstill" picture you can only look while using the debugger.

- "Learn to debug" - This advice is thrown too vaguely around, but I'll tell you that the 2 essential pieces that helped me debug are 1- using watches to keep an eye on variables, props that are relevant to the problem 2- Use conditional breakpoints - About the 90% of the people I've paired programmed with don't know about it or even if they know it exists they don't use it and when I put in place some conditional break points they look with awe at how it can make a change.

- A somewhat counter intuitive or controversial advice: read the code involved and look for inconsistencies, dumb scenarios, flags, awful named variables and clean them! - Sometimes my attention span and memory range is entangled with garbage code that makes it harder to reason about. By throwing away the pieces I don't like and improving on them I get the benefit that in the future it will be easier to maintain and reason.
Low cost won't cut it. It needs to be cheaper than existing technologies. Citizens don't vote for candidates with a pitch of "what we're going to do is change policy to require significant capital expenditure that is coming out of your pocket".

Failing that if you can find a way to line some politicians pockets in the process, that could work.
> No because not every sport starts ELO at the same baseline [...] (i.e. Lichess starts everybody with 1500, Chess.com starts everybody with 1000).

It's not just where they start - they actually use different rating systems, and neither of them is the actual Elo rating system. Chess.com uses Glicko and Lichess uses Glicko-2. This is also a big part of what makes comparing players from different player pools a bit meaningless.

What I think OP is asking is "If you used the same rating system in two different sports, would a 200 point difference mean the same thing?", for which I think the answer is "yes".
> NULL = Program haven't read the database yet and doesn't know. NULL1 = Program have read the database and it's null. NULL2 = it was null from where this collector database read this data.

It's not a valid computing problem. In your example there's no difference whatsoever between NULL1 and NULL2, because it doesn't matter where it came from, and as for the difference between NULL and NULL1 - it's irrelevant, because if we know that the field exists, we have the database.

> "decades ago"

I'm fairly sure nobody needed more than 1 type of NULL decades ago, and certainly nobody needs more than 1 type of NULL now.

It depends on your bank - mine has an application for phones that is used to interact with 3D Secure, confirm money transfers etc.
I agree with your sentiment, but we don't "regularly" use paper checks in the US. Many stores simply do not accept them anymore, and I can remember just a few times in the past few years where someone in front of me at a checkout was using a paper check --- because it happens so rarely that it is memorable.

Edit: And bank transfers do exist, I don't know how you can get away with just flat out asserting they don't. That's ridiculous. Wire transfers are very old but still supported for a fee, and ACH transfers are ubiquitous. They aren't as quick and easy as in Europe, but they certainly do exist. Zelle is also a pretty recent cross-bank platform for transfers that has made things much easier.
A bit pedantic, but a trade off with any new programming language is “having to learn a new language”. I haven’t programmed in zig but the syntax looks different enough from C that it would take a while to pick up.
Magnus Carlsen suspects foul play, withdraws from tournament
I think part of it, by reading your question, is that:

a) TDD primarily refers to unit tests (it does not address other types of testing that you need to take into account when designing a program)

b) you have the wrong idea of what constitutes a 'unit' test versus other kinds of testing. Specifically, as per M. Feathers, anything that touches the filesystem, e.g. to read a file or database (as you do here), is not a unit test.

I would highly recommend Chapter 2 of M. Feathers' "Working effectively with Legacy Code" on this topic.
Not necessarily. "Environmental" problems are always scope to whatever issue the stakeholder is worried about.

Soy and wheat production in the United States is concentrated on the Great Plains, and made possible by irrigation sourced from groundwater and artificial fertilizer. Problem: that groundwater is being depleted faster than replenishment, and part of the plains will be desert-like within the lifetime of many HN users. So you're looking at destroying some of the more productive farmlands on earth, and have been destroying the Gulf of Mexico and Mississippi delta for decades with massive levels of nitrate pollution.

Most of the problems with meat production are about scale. You can actually utilize the waste products of a 200 head herd of cattle, but 20,000 is an industrial waste site. Likewise, you can't pasture large scales of cattle, and feedlots intensify things like methane emissions, etc.
I do wonder if there are long-term affects from sheltering our immune systems for extended periods.

Now, I’m still in favor of wearing masks in some particularly high-risk places. And absolutely supported masks in the earlier days (until vaccines were readily available & common).

But by not getting exposure to the regular tiny amounts of bacteria and viruses that float around from other people (our body deals with quickly and we never feel sick), do we know anything about the long term affects of that on the immune system? Genuinely curious because I couldn’t find anything.

We know it causes an increase in blood-CO2 concentration: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8072811/

And possibly a decrease in white blood cell count: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34585544/

But I don’t think we know yet if there are long-term immune system complications
Just my personal opinion here, I think this is an acceptable rhetorical device normally, but specifically in covid discussions this is an off-putting approach. "Just asking questions" is a common strategy among covid deniers and anti-vax folks who are also often pro-lab leak hypothesis.

When I see a comment like the top most one in this thread, I can't tell if the author is actually coming to this discussion in good faith with a fact based approach or they are a nut job "just asking questions". Is the author meaning for the audience to infer actual confirmed facts or are they trying to imply guilt without any actual evidence? In this situation it is better to actually write out the facts with sources verifying them. Without that, the author risks being lumped in with the crazies.
I think fake meat will be important in the future because there is no way we can eat the amount of meat and dairy that we do without many negatives. That said, there is a level of sustainable livestock. Cows can graze on natural grass lands, eating a plants that humans can't digest anyway. Pigs can mostly eat agricultural waste product. Chickens can eat cover crops. The fact that land is cleared for grazing and animals are fed crops is due to the amount of meat people eat could never be met through natural means.
UK power prices have risen a lot -- that will cause consumers and businesses to reduce energy usage.
Its not surprising at all once you think about it, but most people have not thought deeply about it.

I posted the quote because I feel like the article's title is click-bait, and has the implied conclusion that plant based "fake meats" are not sustainable, when the opposite is true... real meat is not sustainable.
I've had more than that. And I've had random purchases declined for whatever algorithmic fraud reasons. But it's never been a serious problem and these days I make sure I have multiple cards so even if one is declined, I have backup.
I can't see how this is a bad thing? It's all framing and narrative.

> in my opinion, sex capabilities will be the first to blame for transforming society as we know it.

> What will happen with human relationships, reproduction, economy, and sanity if all those examples become a reality? In my opinion, things could get really messy in our world in only one generation (or even in 20-30 years). I can easily imagine 10% of men not wanting to do anything but only hang out with their sex robots.

That's it. All the preambles and detours boil down to, "men like sex and will do nothing if its available ad libitum. oh and that's bad. men must get sex from women not dolls. oh and by the way, wanting sex from women is bad you should want a relationship with women. women control sex access and that is good."
I had absolutely no idea this was possible.
Yeah - is it not common in the US or something? You can hardly make a card purchase in the UK without it
If you earn money over time, you never had a lump sum to begin with, so of course it makes sense to “DCA” - it is your only option.

It is still time in the market over timing the market, as long as the withdrawal date is far enough out into the future.
Building Future Cities Out of Timber Could Save 100B Tons of CO2 Emission
How is the performance story coming on this, anyone know?
Solid approach for desktop Linux. Not possible on Unix in a general sense, because cgroups are a Linux-specific thing. They also depend on having certain kernel options enabled.

So if you want to write software that can target MacOS or any of the BSDs, then you can't use cgroups.
I put this together as an attempt to gather the best products that use Creative AI in one place. Let me know if there are any I should add!
> While estimation seems to be a shibboleth of certain types of project management, the fact that implementation time estimates are rarely accurate - and often significantly wrong - suggests that they are not as vital as we’re lead to believe.

I disagree with your conclusion. Just because we're terrible at estimating doesn't mean it's not important.

"100% uptime is rarely achieved, which means it's unnecessary and unimportant".

> Code (implementation) is an integral alert part of the software design and planning process, and you can’t know how long something will take until that’s complete.

McConnel talks about it in "Software Estimation". The only way to accurately predict anything is to base it on your previous experience, which I allude to. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), even projects that looks similar on the surface are more frequently dissimilar than similar.

Regardless it's useful to be able to answer the "how long" question at least a coarse level to see if it's worth doing something.
> I don't think it's still a common choice for today.

Not true at all. About 37% of the web hosting market is shared hosting. Just do a simple web search for the size of the web hosting services market to find this information. It's one of the 3 most common choices today – and it's always been that way.
US credit cards don't typically have pins associated with them anyway unfortunately.

The timing of the A and B lineages spreading at the same time strongly indicates multiple spillover events.

Part of the lab leak claim is that the 2018 experiments mentioned in the tweet were done in a BSL2 lab even though they required BSL3 or 4.
In principle, I don't entirely disagree with that, however, humans are part of the environment. We need "the environment" to survive, such as a sustainable marine ecosystem. I mean, if there are no more fish to catch due to overfishing then humans will be in trouble, too.
Intriguing! What do you mean when you say "We license the economic simulations trusted by hedge funds and insurance industry"?

It’s a fact that I had coffee with someone who grew up a thousand miles away from me yesterday. If I were to infer from that fact that there was something unusual about that, I would be wrong.

facebook data model is a Graph where each row store one object “comment” or one association “comment is with post id” between objects .

They made an query and indexing system on top of it to make it fast called TAO.

Without it you need to send a distinct SQL query pet parent object to get list of associated child object which would be awfuly slow.

Hear, hear. Many, possibly most, security failures I see reported seem to be at least related to ambient authority-type sins at one level or another. If only that was widely recognized after all this time.
As noted, that is in no way unique to rich, poor, old, young, or any other segment of society in the US.
It's because payment processors basically calculated that people would be less likely to use their credit card if they had the hassle of entering a PIN (or god forbid some rotating code thing!). They're willing to put up with slightly more fraud for the increased CC use, as Americans are much more prone to use their card as a financing vehicle, carrying revolving debt at a usurious interest rate. Every European I know pays their card off every month, so this tactic is much less lucrative; better to increase security in that case.

It is pretty funny when I use my US credit card abroad and the payment terminal spits out a receipt I have to sign. So many confused people on restaurant waitstaff xD
Can you develop it yourself?
> The only way forward is to normalise the relationship

Yes, by removing Russia from Ukraine. No one thought of "normalising" relations with Nazi Germany's Hitler as my ancestors marched through Europe either.

What should we do? Send everything we reasonably can to Ukraine so that they can drive out Russia. And then send some more that they can get rid of Putin once and for all.
No, if it is the only option on every mainstream distro and if I have to keep switching distros because they cave in to the bullshit that I cann "shoved down my throat"
> Cattle can eat indigestible-to-humans cellulose in grasses and turn it into meat and milk. Grass can grow on marginal land without fertilizer or irrigation, unlike food crops for humans.

In central California I've seen cattle gaining weight on high desert scrub. When I look at the land there it looked like inedible, but to a hungry steer, it was quite passable.

The wild pigs there become immensely huge, in large groups - they are a great example of how much edible food there is actually is for animals.
That seems a relay interesting product in order to "free" developer of minor change without removing the production control thanks to PR but I have some concerns about:

- The fact that the organization has to open their GitHub to your infra

- The fact that by reading iddan message: "We see Product Managers, UX Designers and UX copy editors editing copy and images through the platform." it seems that you have access to client data in read at least

For all of those concerns do you offer an on-prem version of the solution for organizations that can't on don't want to deal with that?

Thanks it looks like a very interesting product
The original blog goes into a lot more detail, including the mechanics, logistics and risks of foraging.

The solution to getting around the wagon equation is ships, ships could carry tremendous amounts of food, with a minimal crew and thus minimum consumption, only problem is ships are expensive.

On donkeys, typically armies used mules and draft horses instead of donkeys, because of behavioral and maximum load reasons, and grazing is not enough for mules and large horses, also on certain seasons there is not enough grass for animals to graze in the terrain either.

The original blog has also a piece on nomad logistics, who used significantly smaller horses that can be sustained only by grazing, these armies were able to traverse a lot larger distances, hence the success of the mongol armies.
This is sadly very badly worded.

Zig provides a global allocator when running tests that will check for memory leaks and double frees. This allocator is only available in the test suite tho, if you want to compile an executable, one has to chose between several allocators and instantiate them explicitly.

There are three allocators that are globally available in the standard library:
- `std.heap.c_allocator`, a wrapper around malloc/free. only available when linking libc
- `std.heap.page_allocator`, a wrapper around VirtualAlloc/mmap. Can only allocate in OS page size granularity and is quite slow. A good backing for other allocators tho.
- `std.testing.failing_allocator`, an allocator that will always yield OutOfMemory.

For the use in an application, there's the std.heap.GeneralPurposeAllocator type that needs to be explicitly instantiated, and it provides a good portion of debugging features right now. High-speed implementations are planned for release modes
It is cheaper.

It is apparently hard to sell this to certain political groups, who get their funding from more expensive sources of energy, but the truth has a way of making itself known when money can be earned and/or saved.
Last time I heard about it: somewhere in the Mediterranean to support NATO and show something to Putin
My god, Peter Thiel said something potentially interesting for once. I don’t know if it’s actually statistically true, but it makes sense that people on the spectrum might indeed be more inclined to stick with their ideas, because they are less likely to be swayed from what they know is correct (for some value of correct).
I mean that LastPass charges you annually, not Bitwarden.
Technically our visual system making things up is the norm. It has to do a lot of predicting using a known distribution, because our eyes are fairly economical in their design. People always say how come evolution could make the human body so perfect, but that's the illusion, many of our limitations are hidden from us.

If we would have a better understanding of our limitations we wouldn't lose 1.3 million people each year to road traffic deaths.
> Their farm is open for visitors and you can see pigs and chickens that actually look happy. The pigs even run over to you when they smell you and you can see their cute little tails wigglin'.

That reminded me of a childhood memory. We didn't have a farm, but we had few animals (sheeps, chickens, rabbits). One year my father decided to buy a piglet from a spring fair. Me and my brothers were thrilled, it was playfull and curious (not like sheep, who were rather booring), kinda like a dog. My father also really liked to take care of it. I remember that he even applied some soothing cream on it after a rather bad sunburn. But in the end it was still bought and raised for meat. My father had always been a guy that slaughtered animals for other people in the neighborhoud, pigs also. But this one really got under his skin. He did still slaughter it, but sweared to never raise and kill a pig himself. It reportedly was kinda like killing a puppy.

Sure it is! As a thought experiment consider evil dba whose job it is to crash your application or make it do wrong things just by manipulating the data in the DB but following the constraints. Totally trivial, right? So data integrity is at all times the responsibility of both the app and the db. And the set of constraints you can enforce with the app will always be a superset of what can be enforced by the db. And for some cases (usually when the db is private to the application) it's easier to build that logic into the app and for other cases (multiple apps sharing a db) it's easier to build that logic into the db.
