So is pretty much anything regular people struggle to budget time and money for, such as exercise.

Learning how to code on your own is an enormous waste of one's time, assuming you are an adult and need to use that time to support yourself.

I remember my Treehouse HTML/CSS course in 2014. It took me months to complete it while working full-time, and the end result was a completely static website that looked like it was from 1997. It was incredibly discouraging. I stuck with it because I had the interest, and later moved on to more fun things like interaction design.

Most people however will stop and move on, because it's hard to see the bigger picture if you have to learn every building block.
> Of 109 lockdown laws, only eight were considered by parliament before coming into force, usually only a day before.

I can't think of a legitimate reason why these 101 laws couldn't require at least one MP from the main opposition party to approve them, if only via video link.

Ideally that opposition MP would need to be the shadow health secretary or some other person nominated by the leader of the opposition, but let's leave open the possibility of some sort of weird zombie apocalypse where half of parliament has already been wiped out.

In the US, I suppose the concern would be that one party might be completely taken over by an ideology which opposes all virus-limiting restrictions, and may not even believe the virus is real, but if the UK political situation ever became so delusional then the country would have more to worry about than just a pandemic.
Since I'm familiar with the details, here is what happened:

1. Texas Vet Board sued a very well-known shelter vet in Texas to revoke her license. Without getting into too much detail, the crux of it was that they wanted to hold shelter vets, who are all on very limited budgets, to the same standards as private vets. The irony is that, if shelter vets can't meet those standards, the Texas Vet Board is OK with just euthanizing the animals. The irony was brutal: "We want you to be held at a certain standard to protect the animals, but if you can't hit that, just kill them."

2. The vet countersued, saying there is a specific carve out in law for owners to treat their own pets, and legally shelter pets have been relinquished and are owned by the shelter. She won this case.

3. During the Sunset Commission hearings, the panel went hard after the Vet Board, basically saying they were harassing shelter vets for the sole purpose of trying to protect their own power (similar to the "everyone who draws a map needs to be licensed" BS in this post), while meanwhile they had a severe problem with not tracking and handling substance abuse issues by some vets. 3 of the Vet Board members ended up resigning because the Commission basically said "you suck".

4. Now, the situation that remained after the court cases was, as you pointed out, there was no more regulation of shelter vets. I think a lot of folks, including shelter vets, think this is not ideal, but they are very wary of being regulated by a board with very different goals (which are, honestly, protect the fees that vets can charge) from the goals that shelter vets have. So there has been some discussion since then about what level of regulation is right for shelter vets.

FWIW the status quo has remained the same - shelters legally own the animals in their care, and thus, as owners, shelter vets are not regulated by the Vet Board for the care they give their animals.
My understanding is that the law authorizing those student loans allows the executive to forgive the loans during a declared emergency. I'm sure the courts will sort it out.
They know it's going to get thrown out. But they also know that once the checks have been sent the courts can't do much to get the money back.

The MoM reporting for beef price inflation would be ~100% for several months after it hit $6/lb as it's rolling 12 months. That doesn't mean it's $12 in August, then $24 in September, etc. That's the impression laymen folks get based on the media reporting.
Apples & oranges again? Hogan is a public figure who might actually lose out on a hundred mil due to reputation damage. A average middle class USA family, not so much.

Yes. ScyllaDB writes all of its drivers to be backward/generically compatible with other CQL-based databases like Cassandra, etc.

> a TC of 250k+ is more than life changing.

It doesn't get you that far.

Consider tax and cost of life in NYC/SF/London where you won't be able to buy a house anyway, and you're left with 50k to save a year. In other places, you're less likely to get such a TC.

Sure, it's a lot of money, but not enough to change your social status. It adds up if you manage to stay long enough there, but considering ageism and burning out, you're not in the same leagues as let say doctors, or people who inherited 1 million after selling their parents house.
Those tools and from a purely U.S. immigration standpoint, take a hard look at people from countries with their own U.S. work visas since these are often easy to obtain.
Beyond the inadvisability of making a breaking change for no reason, it's worth noting that deprecating fgrep is actually positively undesirable. Use of fgrep should be encouraged.

The reason is that many times people want to match a literal string. This is best done with, for example, "fgrep [a] <file". Note that this is not the same as "grep [a] <file", since '[' has special meaning in regular expressions. Of course, you can write "grep \\[a] <file", but not everyone has the set of special characters used for regular expressions at the top of their mind.

Of course, one could get in the habit of using grep -F when intending the pattern to be just a literal string. Or one could write one's own fgrep shell file. But both of these options require more effort than just using fgrep. One aim of good design should be to make it easy to do things in the reliable way. That way it's more likely to be done.
Well the details ARE important. Almost every country that produces non-biased statistics is seeing inflation. This information is important because it points to a global problem and not a local policy problem.
Tell that to the junior devs that just paid $10k to attend a React bootcamp, and are wondering why they can't find work.
Those are the "raw" CPI numbers. Core CPI excludes food / energy since those tend to be quite volatile. Raw CPI is still quite high. Core CPI, which is generally regarded as a better predictor for long-term trends, is looking pretty good.

Same thing with some of these FAQ questions. "Does Nocoa take away from cocoa farmers? Well, <bullshit nonanswer>, but climate change will also hurt them, sorry, also AFFECT them." Why would you ask yourself a question that you don't actually want to answer?

You're picking a subset of even the CPI basket of goods, but still the answer is yes[0]. The linked chart currently only goes to 2021, but 2021 was down almost 13% from 2020, and I have no expectations that 2022 will be any different.

The supply chain has stumbled incredibly badly in ways that affect almost everything, including milk and bread--which have to be packaged up and shipped and in the case of bread, contains added ingredient that might themselves be in short supply.

I don't unless I want to use something. The main consideration is hedging against an unusual problem in a new version vs. my software.

This may depend on your situation. For example, if you were running a large IT org with a few staff members with a lot of installed software, the cycle to process and check correct operation of each software under your management may be long enough that you'd start soon: by the time you are working on the last few systems under your responsibility, EOL for that Postgres version may be in sight.

You may also be working on a very new software project, where bugs are of lower consequence and you'd like to forestall the friction of an upgrade motivated by EOL. Or, you may find yourself in a lull in useful development and this is a good way to get ahead of maintenance, effectively reducing pressure in the future. In this case, I'd also consider upgrading...after a few months. Even Postgres has somewhat iffy .0 releases.

My own experience is in vertically integrated teams where we control all the software, so we typically upgrade every second or third version, leaving over a year to resolve issues before EOL of the version we're on.
My Linear Algebra https://hefferon.net/linearalgebra/index.html comes with lots of exercises in each section, from easy to (a few) pretty hard. There is a book of worked solutions that covers all exercises. It is free so if you download it (and the solutions) and you find that it doesn't suit then no harm done.

There is no platform, no way of having the computer check your answers (if that is what you mean). For things like proofs, I don't think the technology can do that at this point.
You can’t argue about a zero social distancing world based on data from countries that implemented social distancing. Doing nothing means seeing what IFR rakes look like without a healthcare system.

Even with all the existing measures, many areas ran out of ICU beds. All those deferred surgeries had an actual cost in human lives because you can’t simply delay cancer treatment without issue. I will say it again, some people with cancer died because of the COVID pandemic even without getting infected.

Anything less than what we did would have further overburdened the healthcare system. Doing absolutely nothing and even less serious cases that responded to such basic measures as IV fluids would have killed people without a functioning healthcare system.

I like this idea a lot.

Are there any other databases which do a similar thing?

This seems like one of those things that has massive benefit if you're willing to invest in the effort + architect it like that from the start.

So if your shop kit was a stack of shelved books sorted in categories that you could do in a single warehouse, in modular tall shelves full of a category, which fit on dollies, can get shipped to the location and loaded through a standard sized door, maybe some shelf-top warm lighting, some basic furniture (that would also be for sale as floor models), an integrated pos and inventory system, it could be a thing. The only hitch is that the magic of bookshops is the staff, so you may need to source them from acting and theatre programs where people train and specialize at being interesting, so it wouldn't fly with basic cashiers, they would need to be booksellers. Customer and local market data collection might be one of the main sources of margin as well. Can do that easily with wifi and NFC tag recievers and other sensors as part of the external signage.
They Sunset Commission themselves are also reviewed [1].

FWIW, the reality is that of course while the system is not perfect, pretty much everything is out in the open and reviewed on a scheduled basis. That really does go a long way to prevent the type of "slow power creep" of a lot of these professional licensing boards.

YoY is the most common measure because many prices and things that happen in the economy are seasonal. Also lots of economic data and prices are only compiled quarterly or yearly so again, YoY makes the most sense.

MoM can show trends but isn't particularly useful otherwise.
Sure, makes sense- so then I guess I'd amend my question to that: I can't see why they'd add the warning instead of just redirecting the command
I couldn't actually think of what the 't' word was until you said transmission - that's the context where I hear it FAR more often.

To call the uncertainty principle a precision limitation on measurement is something of an oversimplification.

Passing from the general physicist's uncertainty principle to a more restricted but still physically meaningful case, the Fourier-transform version of the uncertainty principle (requires no physics to derive and) states that the narrower and less smooth a spatial representation of something is, the wider and slower-decaying its frequency representation becomes. (Sharp and abrupt sounds have wide spectra, which is why they get mangled into the strange but recognizable bubbling in low-bitrate MP3s. The two-dimensional case of the same phenomenon is well demonstrated by the JPEG "ringing" around sharp edges, with the caveat that JPEG transforms every 16x16 block of pixels independently.) Physics comes in here only when you say that position and momentum (amplitude) distributions are Fourier transforms of each other.

If a single sample or the average value is all you get, then yes, the width of the peak becomes the uncertainty of your measurement. If you can get many samples, though, then you absolutely can trace the shape of that peak. It's just that the instruments used at the dawn of quantum mechanics were not built that way.

(What "particle-wave dualism" means, I think nobody really understands except maybe Bohr scholars; "dualism" was his personal German-philosophy-style all-encompassing idea that he was smitten with before he even started thinking about QM. It's a wave, period, it's just that high-frequency waves can look like particle propagation if you squint, as seen in optics and acoustics.)
Very good points, it's scary to me that psychs with access to medications like these (and public trust too) can so casually make what seems to be such an incredibly dangerous decision, but I guess every system will have its bell curve outliers (though I feel many of us suspect that we feel that the tail is much bigger than we would want it to be....)

I have a private pay psychiatrist who is pretty good, something I need because I have a number of conditions and good polypharmacy is possible but hard. I trust him, but I also have a sinking feeling in my gut wondering about how the people going to the psychiatrists/etc that I saw before him are going to be treated. If I'm not in that patient slot, someone else likely will be.

I guess that's one motivator for such rigidity in prescribing medications on some sides of the field. As a lesser sin to prevent this sort of particular madness.
I suspect this will make Supabase very happy! They really believe in row level security as a major line of defense so I imagine this makes it even better
Right, but that’s the point. Even orgs can be costly when you consider how you plan on sharing infrastructure. My point is these can add up as you have databases, k8s clusters, load balancers, CDN endpoints, etc. so if your strategy doesn’t include driving these costs down on a per instance basis, with idle usage and whatnot, it will become a cost problem quickly.
Yes. It has been designed to be offline first.
Core inflation is a lagging figure. For most people, rent and wages only change once a year. So if a company decides to raise rent or wages, it might take up to 11 months before it affects you and shows up in the inflation numbers.

So high monthly core inflation may mean that core inflation is still rising or it may mean that we're just seeing a lagging indicator from the inflation this spring.
Court rulings in the EU have found that US law is not compatible with GDPR: US lets law enforcement have unfettered access to the data of EU residents, with no restrictions or redress mechanisms that satisfy the EU court.

This means that sending data from the EU to a US company is almost always a GDPR violation. There are a few nuances to this which are very important.

- The US CLOUD Act gives US law enforcement access to data stored in other jurisdictions. This means that locating the servers in the EU is not sufficient. Nor is operating via an EU subsidiaries.

- IP address counts as personal data, as does pseudonymized identifiers.

The two of these combined mean that GDPR forbids you from having your users connect to Google servers. This is why Google Fonts is straight forbidden, and why most installations of Google Analytics are forbidden. Also the use of basically anything from Google, Azure, AWS, Oracle, Facebook, Akamai, etc except when routed through an EU proxy which obscures the user's original IP address.

There's so much variation right now but we are seeing - even without premium processing - much faster adjudication of I-140 NIW petitions, shorting the process by 6+ months.

"PostGIS in Action" is a good option. Also check out https://locatepress.com/ which has a few more books in this niche.

> a dataset of roads which were broken up into short segments, which I wanted to merge back together based on a key. Theoretically that's a single simple operation

PostGIS provides the ST_MakeLine aggregate function for this, but you need to write the query such that the GROUP BY query retains the correct order. Creating a new line segment out of many line segments effectively means breaking the lines into their constituent points and then creating a new linestring based on the points. For things like GPS data, you can order by timestamp. But for other cases? You've got to write your aggregate query carefully so that adjacent line segments are actually meant to be merged.
