"The police warn non drug users that a cheap street dose is many times more likely to kill an inexperienced user than a similar dose from a decade ago."

This is a conspiracy theory. Evidence?

And about your first comment, I'm showing numbers of deaths, you're claiming that some part of that is encouraged and that percentage is higher for liberal cities. But the death rate doesn't correlate either way. So it doesn't make sense, even if it was encouraged apparently it's not making things worse

Most of what you said is speculation and you haven't provided meaningful evidence besides linking to a paper in another country.
Sounds like they could be using your cash as funding.

If they hold a bunch of cash from people it is effectively theirs for that period of time. This could prevent them from needing to raise a funding round if done enough.

Some businesses are literally customer funded like these.

> Why do you think government spending specifically is the problem?

There's no such thing as a free lunch. Government spending always gets sucked out of the economy one way or another. Ultimately, everyone pays for it with a lower standard of living, directly or indirectly.

As for the government financed by debt spending, the cost to you is inflation.
From the third paragraph of the article:

Query parsing, optimization, execution plans have to do with the SQL language. Relational databases (and some non-relational databases) use the SQL language but that language has little to do with the fundamentals of databases. The relational model has almost nothing to do with the query language, in other words.

I recommend Chris (C. J.) Dates books on databases. Introduction to Database Systems for a start.

Databases, especially relational databases, sit at the core of most business and web applications. Learning how to design, implement, and use databases effectively gives one a skill that will pay off for a long time, an entire career for some people.

Having several dedicated accounts is a wise approach. However, I doubt many people are doing the same, because of the effort required. Opsec is really, really hard. All you have to make is one mistake, and you are done. But, I guess having several accounts at least limits the damage.
1. It's the system I've got. 57.8% of .nl domains are validated by DNSSEC, and those are the ones I use and it works great.

2. All I needed to do was enable a checkbox and paste a key (that I generated myself because I didn't want to hit the "generate" button) so I know it can be easy. Most companies aren't Slack or Google with their custom resolver setups and complicated cloud configurations.

Thanks for letting me know. It’s a Substack thing not something I’ve chosen to do - I’ve tried to see if I could could turn off all pop-ups in the past without success. I didn’t know it was quite that bad so will have another look and possibly feedback to Substack.
Some things to look more carefully at, then, if the only thing you noticed was the character animations:

- the screen space reflections are broken in the left-hand 10% or so of the screen

- early in the clip there is some weird z-buffer error where reflections from the boat’s roof are showing in front of the car windows

- although the water surface has reflections that make it appear not to be flat, its geometry cuts off along the side of the boat in a pure straight line

- there are tearing artifacts a couple of times where we are seeing the top of one frame and the bottom of another (may be a screen recording artifact rather than a rendering one though)

I don’t think these are merely being ‘nit picky’ - these are clear ways in which the render is a long way short of ‘realistic’.

As I say, great modeling and texturing with environmental PBR clearly does a lot of work convincing a viewer a place is ‘real’. But it seems a bit sad to present that in an engine which has such glaring flaws and ignore them. Other engines exist that do this better.
Forbidding child labor isn't enough on its own, it should come with enough social support for families that they don't need to send their kids working. A non-coercive education system would also be fantastic :-)

In the U.S., I don’t think money transmitters are allowed to do this. (They can keep the interest earned on it.)

Financing from deposits is more a crypto thing.
No, as you reasoned out it is absolutely incorrect. Write calls to regular files will block until they are complete, unless some kind of error situation is encountered.

This effect is often particularly pronounced with NFS, where calls might block for hours or even indefinitely if the underlying network filesystem goes away.
Possible goals for incarceration are:

Punishment

Deterrence

Rehabilitation

You can debate the relative merits of each, but rehabilitation is not the only possible goal. If you lock up a repeat violent offender for X years without rehabilitation, the other factors are still relevant.

I don't think I can answer what the formula for a good life is. There is a whole section of philosophy dedicated only to this area.

I think it is up to each of us to figure out how to make the best out of our lives, but if you like how your life is now, and you are looking forward to your future, then I think it is fair to say that you are doing a decent job.
If Stripe refunds the payments, he can have the clients pay again via a different method. If I were a client, I would wait until receiving the funds before paying again. Thus he's probably stuck in a situation where he now needs to deliver work he hasn't been paid for plus absorb the risk that he won't eventually get paid what he normally would have been paid up front.
Few years ago I wanted to invent something. I didn't have any idea what, so I thought I let computer decide.

What is the most simple way to describe something? A noun. Ok but that already exists, I need adjective too. Still too common, let's add another adjective. I used English corpus and generated random triplets in the form of adjective-adjective-noun.

Most of it was gibberish. Occasionally there was something plausible or even viable, even more rarely something interesting. As I was reading this long list, I stumbled upon this gem:

Creepy wet uncle

And I laughed. As I continue reading the list, every once in a while there was something funny. But not once have I found words that would make me cry. Before, I thought that laughter and crying are equal but opposite emotions, but they are not. Crying requires much deeper emotional connection while all it takes to make me laugh are 3 random words.

That day I also realize why Craig Ferguson was funny (this was back when he still had the late late show), he just say or do something random. That was his secret. I felt cheated, the cheapness of laugh was exposed.

It's the illusion of control. It may be possible to select the obviously great candidates, but its foolish to think that this can be carried out for all of them.

It’s really the usage of the word primitive that I’m arguing with. Java’s GC comes with a lot of additional trade offs that Go’s doesn’t.

For example, the fact that the Java GC is copying and generational means that there is a LOT more overhead introduced by write barriers.

If you benchmark the rate at which the GCs can clean up garbage, Java always wins, but the Java GC impairs you a lot more in other situations that the Go one doesn’t.

It’s trade offs, but the Go one makes much better trade offs for modern hardware IMO.
> This effect is often particularly pronounced with NFS, where calls might block for hours or even indefinitely if the underlying network filesystem goes away.

I can't tell you how many times I've had to debug a stuck process and it turns out that the logs indicated the NFS had a hiccup a day or two ago during a file read or write and the process was never notified of a file error. It's f!@#ing frustrating. Worse, though, was CIFS.

I'm not so sure - I'm in the UK, and we have a chronic lack of skilled technical people. It's a big problem - big enough to be a national security issue. We just don't seem to have the knowledge, skill, or aspiration to produce a lot of talented tech people, outside of a small elite.

And I think the UK is in a good position compared to places like France, Italy, etc, which are even worse.

Amsterdam local here — in fact, I live in exactly this street. Where the first cartel guy gets subdued is where I get my coffee, and the people that live in the canal houses are my neighbors. (My house may or may not be in the map, would have to play the game to check.)

Fun facts:

(1) A year or two ago several guys spent days using some sort of device to scan all buildings in our street. They got complaints from several bar owners and tenants as they appeared to be taking photographs inside the buildings, and they wouldn’t explain why. I wouldn’t be be surprised if it was for this map.

(2) The footage is hyperrealistic not just graphically, they got the details right with surprising accuracy. Even the garbage bins are in exactly the right place. (It’s also not unlikely that a guy could be subdued like this without people being too surprised, as tourists like to use this district to get wasted 24/7.)

I actually think nordic countries do 2. and 3. quite well, and their crime rate has risen significantly due to the large number of migrants.

> (in which case you'll get an EAGAIN error instead of it blocking).

You won't. O_NONBLOCK cannot be used with regular files. That part of the manpage is discussing other non-socket file types.

Disk i/o via write(2) is always a blocking call. Always. 100% of the time, no exceptions.
Companies like Stripe can’t deal with the P999 problems and are ignoring them.

They think their P99 customer service is great but 0.1% of their customers are experiencing a catastrophic level of experience and they simply don’t care. They are ignoring it because it doesn’t show up on any of their metrics or dashboards but it has a catastrophic effect on a small number of customers.

Companies like Stripe need a swat team that deals with these P999 catastrophes, but given their scale it’s probably cost prohibitive, so they just say “Fuck it.”
I was a pacifist until I read Tolkein's "Lord of the Rings," a very long pro-war (warmonger) screed that he consciously designed to counter pre-WWII pacifism in England. Also entertaining. But long.

Or perhaps, Tolkein convinced me that I was kidding myself if I thought I was a pacifist, in the first place. If you would break someone's arm to save a million lives, then you're not a pacifist. Which is a sorta kinda okay rough summary of the book's underlying argument.

Actually labour as a punishment is called labour camps, it is generally frowned upon in the civilized world.

But the punishment is x years in prison not x years of forced labour.
