You can't build a view that allows you to do that query with an arbitrary function instead of MAX.

It's _every single time_ you need to do this kind of trivial querying you have to write this convoluted mess of SQL.
> Turning on the so-called “optimizer” breaks this code because current C “optimizers” bizarrely enough can change the semantics of C code in often unpredictable ways without making any performance improvements. This is permitted by the C Standard for reasons that strike me as not well thought out, but let’s pass over this sad situation for the moment.

the C Standard has a thing called "undefined behavior", and this person is running right into it with their invalid pointer arithmetic. So the result is undefined, and could be anything, including embedding the Doom source code.
Hey, that's very nice. However I wasn't able to actually generate images because I need to have a specific conda environment enabled first.

A couple of suggestions, maybe you can implement:

1) option to switch the conda environment since I had setup the dependencies in a specific environment (for me, the command is "conda activate ldm")

2) It would be nice to know what was the error when there is an error.
I really like Werner Herzog. Too many good ones to list them all here. He brings in a lot of social implications of whatever subject he covers. A lot of randomness as well which is often quite funny. E.g. Encounters at the end of the world or Lo and behold: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lo_and_Behold,_Reveries_of_the...

Petter Mettler is a great film maker imo, e.g. Picture of Light, due to the poetic and philosophical elements mixed in with actual documentation. Visually very appealing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picture_of_Light

Another favorite film maker is Stanislav Mucha who covers a lot of European topics and in particular German. Very ironic and partly sarcastic. Favs are Absolute Warhola, a film about Andy Warhol's extended family in Slovakia:

Also, The Truth about Dracula is very interesting and funny: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1621024/

> No Julia programmers outside of MIT

I don't know how true that is but it meshes with my impression. The creators/maintainers seem to have a rather narrow view of who their target audience is and what use cases they have. And it reads to me as though they are unwilling to put any resources into making Julia a general-purpose language. Claims to the opposite don't convince me.

Of course they have the right to make that ecosystem as narrowly focused as they want, but then comparing it with Python is apples and oranges.

If you make the hallways' maze "thinner", I imagine you don't need as many particles in the simulation?

I guess as well that the "thinnest" hallway is of length: 1 pixel. If the particle is also 1 pixel in size, then wouldn't the simulation be the path finding (backtracking?) algorithm? I don't remember the details, maybe I misunderstood something (last time I saw this was at university)
These names essentially come from the PDP-10 which has instructions for all 16 boolean operations:

0000 SETZ
0001 AND
0010 ANDCA
0011 SETM
0100 ANDCM
0101 SETA
0110 XOR
0111 IOR
1000 ANDCB
1001 EQV
1010 SETCA
1011 ORCA
1100 SETCM
1101 ORCM
1110 ORCB
1111 SETO

Where A = accumulator, M = memory, B = both, C = complement of, Z = zero, O = one.

The LISP machine processors (CONS, CADR) also had a 74181 ALU which you could control directly so these names were used again on that platform.
I mean all the high-ranking politicians and businesspeople grew up under entirely different circumstances than the average joe.

A bunch of the new tech billionaires had a different path, going through certain US universities at the right time for example.

But nowadays there's also this new community of startups that happen to live in the right location and get the right amount of access to investors.
>[extrovert] children who grow up in more prosperous homes are less likely to face the kind of stressful events that undermine self-confidence.

Is extrovert synonymous with confident or that strongly correlated? Why should an introvert not be confident in themselves and their abilities?

>Introversion is the state of being predominantly interested in one's own mental self

This is essentially a short-term over long-term rewards type thinking. By choosing the larger car you are effectively creating a world that is unsafer for your child, both in terms of if they are not in a car on the road, but also in terms of increased global warming.

I would also like to see statistics if kids in families with large SUVs are actually safer. There were enough cases of parents accidentally driving over the kids because they didn't see them that it might very well change the statistics.

As long as we're doing recommendations: I can't recommend Ian Hubert enough. Especially the lazy tutorial series. They aren't good beginner tutorials at all, but they are great inspiration for once you get the blender basics down. Witty enough to watch even if you're not even using blender.

I disagree with this simplification, and I m a ticket churner who hates meetings. Usually the requests presented at meetings come from a need to solve for a paying customer. What we re all struggling with, and I did a lot of work on myself to embrace it, is that there s no beautiful elegant scalable flexible solution to 20 client variations of the same problem which change every year.

There simply is not. So we get sent "completely ridiculous" requests or change in design, but what s the alternative ? Only do the right thing and disappear in uselessness ?
That's too exhausting for me, and at least 5(?) others as your stuff keeps getting flagged. Keep in mind you're already emotionally in the red, we're not. You can't fire someone's emotions up that fast if you're not a great writer. It just doesn't work like that.

If you know it's going to get flagged the quote doesn't make any sense, net result you are still doing nothing if your posts all get flagged before anyone sees them. You're just wasting time really.

Note that this thread we're in now, one you framed as a discussion rather than a rant, got a fair amount of response and is not flagged. Learn from the data or don't I guess.

For what it's worth I do wish I'd used a different word than boring, I meant no judgement on the content of your posts. When it comes to creating content for others to consume I tend to use boring to describe things that aren't actively engaging rather than subjects I'm not interested in (for example "this video we're making gets boring at the 3 minute mark, can we speed up the pace there?"). I do realise the rest of the world doesn't work that way and usually I'll be more specific, I was tired when posting and that one slipped through.

You could be talking about my favourite topic in the world but if you come at me all fired up and red faced about it I'm gonna get exhausted (bored) just as fast as if you'd come at me speaking in monotone. I should have gone with "disengaging" maybe.

> You can decide to put whatever you want into the style tag, but "critical CSS" explicitly refers to above the fold.

The Web Dev article might decide to define Critical CSS as about the fold but there are at least three ways of looking at Critical CSS

- Styles needed for above the fold

- Styles needed to layout a skeleton, and main content to avoid layout shifts

- Styles needed to layout the whole page

Above the fold is an arbitrary definition because it varies by device with different styles being required for different viewport sizes (at least)

The approach of scanning the rendering the page to see what styles are needed then extracting them into inline styles might work for small unchanging sites but it just doesn't scale

The only way I've seen sites maintain Critical Styles over time is to have a strong design system / patter library so they know what styles are needed to render the page and then split the styles between those needed for first render, and those needed on user interaction

I hear this a lot and I'm happy for the author, but the "divinity" of math is not something that has ever resonated with me, not even when I was younger.

It's a tool. It's by far the most powerful tool man has ever made, because it's a tool for your mind as opposed to a tool for your hands, but it still is a tool.
The “stack” in full-stack engineering used to refer to the software stack, not the network stack.

The old-school eponymous LAMP stack used to be Linux, Angular, MySQL, and PHP. You wouldn’t necessarily have had to have known the OSI model to be proficient in those technologies.
I believe most scammers use remote-assistance tools which have this feature as standard (as they are meant to be used in a non-adversarial context). Either the scammers don't bother disabling it, or there is no way to disable.

It's basically a guaranteed fatality at 45mph in any weight of car - lots of towns/cities are even reducing their 30mph speed limits to 20mph for that reason.

If anything, I'd suggest doing 45mph on a road where there's the possibility of a child walking into the road faster than you could respond is irresponsible. If you're going that fast in a built-up area, you should either have a good enough view of the sides of the road that you can see the hazard developing in good time to react/break (ie, you're tracking the pedestrians alongside the road a hundred metres ahead of you), or you should be slowing down to a more appropriate speed for when you're lacking situational awareness.

I suspect this is a large part of the reasons that some countries (eg, the UK) have a hazard perception element to the driving test.

In Prolog, the predicate order matters. So, if I understand your question correctly, no. It's up to the dev to order predicates in such a way that the amount of backtracking is kept to minimal.

Nice start to an app.

One thing I would recommend is capitalizing the nouns in German. It's really weird seeing them written lowercase.

That would give away a hint to the answer since you'd know if the answer should be capitalized or not depending on whether the English word is a noun, so maybe you could make sure possible answers are all nouns or all non -nouns to compensate.
Please don't respond to such a comment by breaking the site guidelines yourself. That only makes everything worse, and "shut the fuck up" is the kind of thing we ban accounts for. Please don't post like this again.

The Looming Tower is the modern classic[1]. It's about the people behind the attacks and some of the dysfunction that caused the Bush Administration to fail to stop them.

The aftermath of the attacks is much more complex and, in my opinion, important. I don't have a recommendation on what to read, but the US response to the attacks (including multiple major wars) is a historical failure that seemingly every generation must re-learn in painful ways.

Does the order of the words matter? I figured out today's solution immediately and then spent a long time trying to figure out if order mattered as I entered the words into the game...
It's a good habit which ensures pip runs with the same interpreter as your `python` command.

One example (but there's many): On Windows a `pip install --upgrade pip` can't work as the OS would lock the `pip` executable, while a `python -m pip install --upgrade pip` works as the OS would lock python instead.

I also encontered environments (CI runners, things like this) with `python` and pip installed, installed but no `pip` shortcut.

I don't think we could fit wider seats into airplanes unless you mean fewer wider seats than current seats. In such case it's not just about profitability (airlines aren't known to have huge profit margins anyway) but about travel getting more expensive for everyone.

I might not go full Ayn Rand but making things more expensive for everyone to accommodate fat people is a line I am comfortable defending.
Eek what a hot take. This sounds particularly like a US centric view of the education system. In Scotland we were taught a lot of the things you have mentioned although:

* fundamental electric and plumbing know-how

I disagree, these two things are dangerous when done incorrectly and are regulated industries in most countries. People with a little knowledge are dangerous. If you want to understand electrical you need to be full time on that for a while. School is for foundational things like can you read and do Maths.

> Why the fuck are we teaching them worthless things like calculus and programming and world history

How are these things "worthless" says a lot about you if you think world history is worthless ...

> Their time would be far better served being taught how to crunch and file their annual taxes

Again this is very much a US centric viewpoint in UK for example you don't need to know this as the government does it for you.

> How to operate a car so nobody gets runover

There is a whole industry that you pay money to do this. Operating a car is a dangerous activity and must be taught correctly. It also requires you actually drive in a car the practicality of teaching a whole school this just isn't there.

> How financial debt (read: loans and credit cards) works

You do get taught this at school I remember going through these types of examples.

> How to clean their own clothes and bedsheets

We had a course that everyone had to attend called "home economics" which taught this sort of thing. I think the name has changed. It also covered basic cooking.

> How to fix a leaky faucet or a faulty electrical appliance

Not sure you've thought that through but an incorrectly repaired electrical appliance can burn your house down and an incorrectly fixed leaky faucet can flood your house.

> Britons were once taught how to wire their electrical gadgets in school

They still are! In Scotland it was called technical studies and taught things like basic woodwork with handtools and how to wire a plug that sort of thing.
I really dislike that link in the article. People lacking self-confidence may be more prone to introversion, but the reverse is false. Introversion is not mostly caused by lack of self-confidence, and it's not something you should "fix", as the article implies.

Of course, extreme cases of introversion (or extroversion) are pathological, but not on the normal scale of things.
There are plenty of programs written in C that will not kill somebody if there is a memory safety issue. It is not "insane" to write a game in C. Seatbelts are about physical safety which is in a completely different category.
Reminds me of "A Worker Reads History" by Bertolt Brecht:

------------------------------------------------------

"Who built the seven gates of Thebes?
The books are filled with names of kings.
Was it the kings who hauled the craggy blocks of stone?
And Babylon, so many times destroyed.
Who built the city up each time? In which of Lima's houses,
That city glittering with gold, lived those who built it?
In the evening when the Chinese wall was finished
Where did the masons go? Imperial Rome
Is full of arcs of triumph. Who reared them up? Over whom
Did the Caesars triumph? Byzantium lives in song.
Were all her dwellings palaces? And even in Atlantis of the legend
The night the seas rushed in,
The drowning men still bellowed for their slaves.

Young Alexander conquered India.
He alone?
Caesar beat the Gauls.
Was there not even a cook in his army?
Phillip of Spain wept as his fleet
was sunk and destroyed. Were there no other tears?
Frederick the Great triumphed in the Seven Years War.
Who triumphed with him?

Each page a victory
At whose expense the victory ball?
Every ten years a great man,
Who paid the piper?

So many particulars.
So many questions."
As far as I can tell one of the arguments for wheels is that the "Installation of a C extension does not require a compiler on Linux, Windows or macOS"[0]. I also check some scipy wheel file and there are some binary libraries. If it is not via wheels, what would be the recommended way to install packages with C extensions (requiring 3rd party libraries)? To my understanding, this is why anaconda is so popular (despite not being an "official" package manager).

Yes. Plus the capital structure massively over emphasises this.

I am definitely not for throwing out the industrial revolution baby with the Victorian capital structure bath water, but looking at the robber barons that crop up with each generation I wonder if there is a different way of allocating capital, decentralised decision
making that can more properly / equally reward effort and contribution. Giving almost all the wealth to the financiers does not seem the right approach.

Then again, I wish Warren Buffet ran my pension fund.
As someone with the privilege to be at a company where no one expects I will ever be at a meeting under almost any circumstance, I will note that most engineers--including myself!! (though I've managed to negotiate everyone down to one meeting per QUARTER, which maybe honestly does feel like an acceptable balance? I still have to attend meetings once in a while, and have a big one scheduled tomorrow)--aren't in a position to simply NOT attend meetings without being seen as an uncommunicative obstacle who needs to be replaced/fired.

You are correct. The same mistake is made with emissions, like London's LEZ/ULEZ.

>In addition, solar and wind must be paired with energy storage. Once this is done, they become uneconomical in most places

Really the only reason solar and wind have taken off is because, unsubsidized, they are cheaper than ALL other forms of energy - even coal (5x cheaper than nuclear).

It's cheaper to pair them with gas than to pair them with pumped storage but it's vastly cheaper to pair them with pumped storage than to build a nuclear plant + storage combo.

The only times nuclear power has been built was because it was deluged with subsidies and that will never change.

>There's a reason that Europe, the most pro-solar/wind polity on the planet, has not been able to get energy independence despite their wealth.

That reason is that it only became as cheap as coal about 6-7 years ago and because cost effectively shifting all your energy infrastructure from one form of power to another takes between 20-30 years and because they viewed achieving energy independence 10 years earlier as not important enough to triple their energy bills.

The relative cheapness of gas also held up the development of pumped storage. Gas was a cheaper peaker.
