Society (and the authorities/governments) were completely inconsistent with it. I still see people who freak out over COVID but don't care about any other contagion.

People still talk about COVID testing as if it is a "Are You Contagious?" testing. Even medical facilities keep pushing COVID testing even though it doesn't change the diagnosis, treatment, or outcome; even if you test negative for COVID, you could (1) still have COVID, or (2) still have another contagious disease. If you test positive, you could (1) have COVID, (2) have something else similar enough to COVID, or (3) be a false positive.

It's entirely inconsistent and useless. If your sick and you might be contagious, stay home. If your not sick (or sick but not contagious), then you do you.

No need for Clojure on Rust, when there are already several mature Common Lisp and Scheme toolchains, compiling to native code for the last 40 years.
No, you're proposing that if things are statistically demonstrably better and also low probability events, then we can look elsewhere for problems and de-emphasize resources to fight these things not warranting attention.

There are lots of things that were statistically demonstrably worse in the past and also statistically miniscule in occurrence, but I think you would get righteously clobbered if you proposed defending their current rate of occurrence as acceptable. Lots of things.
It's important to choose one's enemies wisely. They define who you are, in contrast.

One theory for the rising internal discord in the USA's public sphere is we no longer have "The Communists" as our convenient "The Other". For purposes of scapegoat, rhetorical foil, and cast of usual suspects.

Hello Kenny, that looks cool. I will try it later today.

I was very keen on Flutter a few years ago until a version bump broke my one application and I never spent the time to fix it.

Clojure is far from my favorite Lisp, but I like it well enough. What will sell your project to me is how nice the dev process is. I love Common Lisp and Scheme dev process, but I struggle to get the same level of happiness with Clojure.

Looks like a nice project!
From what I gathered from the article the freight industry labor force is hyper optimized through PSR. So any time off creates major disruptions to the service and scheduling.

There are also monopolistic forces driving control of certain tracks, routes, and stations that make deviating from this system hard.

I would think breaking the rail industries monopoly would be a priority to giving the laborers what they want.
yeah, "beat your friends, so your enemies will be scared of you" proverb
I believe Tensegritics already has an app up on the app store based on early ClojureDart. I run screaming before apps have to be deployed, so please check with them on that. They hang out on the Clojurians Slack. My reactive hack is over twenty years old so it is pretty solid, should be OK if you want to throw that into the mix. ps. You are welcome!
>Four of those companies collectively control more than 83 percent of the freight market. And the vast majority of train stations in the U.S. are served by exactly one railroad.

Monopoly behaving like a monopoly. The only real power the employees have in this situation is to leave, especially when the government's interests are also not aligned with employee interests.

Numbers tell us there are 10M open jobs in the US. Obviously leaving the devil you know for the devil you don't is not an easy decision, but I wonder how possible it even is? Are the rail employees in a position in which those 10M open jobs are not viable alternatives for them and how 'real' is the 10M number?
It's not limited to the US or healthcare, but it is extremely evident there. Look at how many politicians get elected solely on the platform of "We won't help a certain group," regardless of who that hurts.

I was looking at the svelte-query PRs recently, and I didn't see anything that looked like "trashing".

I agree that if you want to keep the patterns that make React-query so amazing, but apply them in Svelte, you should use idioms that make sense in Svelte. The exact syntax (`useQuery` and friends) isn't the point, and the `use[A-Z].*` naming convention actually communicates that you're hooking into the React lifecycle... which obviously doesn't make sense in Svelte.

while it is nice that you have cleared up what you meant by 'aes' (a third category which excludes not only most sulfates and most surfactants but even the most common surfactant that is also a sulfate, sds) you have not answered my question

why are you posting this egregious misinformation here
Yes... and no. Worth remembering according to the Steve Jobs biography he had no security in his suburban home and left the back door unlocked every night, and all the neighbors knew that's where Steve Jobs lives. (Bill Gates once visited and remarked, "You live here? All of you?") On the other hand, for an attacker, this may have been an obvious sign Steve Jobs didn't keep anything useful at home.

But assuming that's not the case now, my point still stands about how it would be maybe easier than attacking Apple Park, relatively speaking. Though, according to Apple's WWDC videos, invading Apple Park to swap an M1 between a MacBook and an iPad is easy when you are the CEO and wearing a rubber mask ;)

Agreed on the strike. Hearing they have 0 sick days (plus penalties for missing) was unbelievable to me. Strike and make it so the rail company shareholders have to live with completely fucking the US economy over their profit margins. And if they do, we all have a duty to point the finger at them.

Where do people keep getting these absurd ideas about "american Individualism" being the root fault of so many problems? No, dirty cities are not caused by American individualism. They're caused by a mix of factors that can vary enormously from one place to another and are present all over the world, not just in the U.S.

Have you even traveled much across this huge and deeply diverse country? Or do you just stereotype and generalize by pulling assumptions out of thin air?

There are also many, many very clean communities in the United States, and many people or groups of people who despite loving their personal freedoms and individualism, also take community spirit very seriously in many ways. The country has been famous for this for centuries.

Goddam how simplistic some of the U.S bashing on this site can be, much of it based on incredible levels of ignorance and caricaturesque notions from people who don't even live in the country. Many of them Europeans too, who should know a bit better about avoiding stupid stereotypes and simplistic depictions of complex cultures.
> headline news?

this is really the crux of your question. gun violence in America is a multifaceted problem, but if your source of information is headline news, you will get 0 meaningful information.

> Do thieves and robbers get shot on a regular basis

this depends drastically on the local/state laws. San Francisco, for example, does not issue permits to carry concealed firearms and openly carrying firearms is illegal. California is simply a very gun unfriendly state, so you will almost never see a citizen defend themselves from a robber with a gun there. Even if you can carry a gun somewhere else, as a sibling goes into more detail, there are various laws with wildly different requirements to be able to employ lethal force. They range from requiring you to attempt to run away first to allowing lethal violence in defense of your property (like a vehicle with cameras in it).

for what its worth, gun violence in america has little to do with so-called mass shootings that make the headlines or the hated "assault rifles". the story of gun violence in america is something like 90% pistol shootings in economically damaged, inner city slums.
Interesting how it's an accelerated version of the horse/mule population decline after introduction of the cars/tractors/etc.

At its peak in 1920 the total horse+mule population was ~25M when the US population was 102M. Or 1 horse for every 4 people.

Although counts vary, there are 9M horses in the US today which has 330M people. Or 1 horse for every 36 people.

(population counts from US census)

> perhaps arguing that the cost of the something has to come from somewhere.

This is exactly what’s going on. People know that these expenditures ultimately come out of the company’s operating budget, which diminishes the funds available for other things. Installing EV chargers is a great environmental move in my personal opinion, but we can’t pretend it’s unrelated to discussions come raise/bonus time when people are told that their raises are smaller than expected because budgets are stretched this year.

The EV chargers may be a tiny contributor, but they’re still an unbalanced distribution of the company’s funds based on something completely unrelated to performance. People are keenly aware of these things.

From stats I can look up, the average US railroad worker earns $130,000 year in total comp in 2021.

Railroad retirement begins full strength at age 60, and looks to be $4,838/mo for an ex railroad employee and spouse. In contrast, Social Security on $130,000 earnings would be $1,919/mo if you retired at age 62. The railroads pay for the retirement expense via tax.

So yes, by US labor standards, railroad employees are quite expensive.

That's an interesting idea that I think I agree with, or maybe the site can only prompt you if it's been added but you can still manually enable it if you want (though adding the homescreen isn't the end of the world if you want notifications). That said, PWAs have downsides on iOS and I can't speak for Android. I'd almost always prefer to stay in Safari when looking at web content. I'm ok with webviews in apps for their internal UI but I almost always bounce from the in-app-browser to safari with the exception of maybe something like Reddit (Apollo) since normally things I look at from there are news articles or other read-only-type content. As soon as I need to login then I'm off to Safari.

Off topic: I don't know if the situation is better on Android but my biggest pet peeve currently is being bounced into an app instead of the web version of the same page. Like clicking on an IMDB link in google results or a Steam link (often comments, like when I'm trying to figure out if something is a bug while playing on a console). I know the workaround for this (long-press link, open in new tab, or delete the app) but on the other side of that coin sometimes I get sent to the Amazon webpage but I want to bounce to the app where I'm logged in and the UI is better (IMHO) but I've yet to find a good way to do that (maybe "share" the page to the Amazon app? I've never tried).

ZIO Flow RC 1 release
This "PSR" is just another name for lean staffing, which is one of the biggest cancers on our society right now.

Aggressively cutting staffing levels to the bare minimum required to operate leads very directly to worse service, more disruptions, and more sick and injured workers.

It leads less directly to lower wages, via higher unemployment, a catastrophic loss of institutional memory, as there's rarely anyone in your position when you're hired—you're just expected to figure it all out once you get there, rather than have anyone who can train you.

Lean staffing is devastating the middle and working class, and it needs to die a thousand deaths.

This has also advantages in that you don't need to allocate the struct in a coherent memory block. Edge case of course, but there are domains where this is relevant.

There was an allocation bug once because unsafe code needs to be allocated consecutively but most memory checks that only returned available memory failed to account for fragmented memory.

They should absolutely strike. And they're in a good position to do so: my understanding is that, unlike, say, the air traffic controllers' strike in the '80s, there's no supply of trained rail operators ready to be brought in as scabs to keep things going.

If they strike, the trains just won't run.
I agree with your first paragraph unironically. If we don't measure it as an important problem, it probably does not deserve disproportionate resources.

There are outliers to that. I think medical research for something like a rare disease is a good one. High cost, and by some metrics, low payout, but worthy. I don't think this recent right wing paranoia about crime is a good example. Especially since the "tough on crime" policies that people want to enact in reaction to it do not work and have a tendency to incarcerate innocent and undeserving people as collateral damage.

My early programming was on BBC Micro and some Acorn machines in school. There, the programming and documentation was all spelt correctly, from memory. "colour", "dialogue", "catalogue", and so on. It wasn't until I started on a PC that I got the Americanisation of computer stuff.

This is the second time this week that a comment I made regarding anything to do with a passing mention of left-wing politics gets a reply like this.

I didn't state at any point anything about communism, I didn't say anywhere I'm a supporter of "Communism™".

Stop chasing ghosts and stop being a fucking bore, you are shoving your words in my mouth and I thoroughly dislike that, it's intellectually disrespectful. This is a fucking dumb comment with no substance and not addressing anything of what I mentioned in my comment.

It's so fucking dumb and tiring to get your kind of knee-jerk red-scare reaction from people like you.

To be extremely clear: I don't support Communism, please point exactly where you believe your comment has anything to do with what I've written there or just shut up, what a fucking bore to keep getting to read this bullshit.

For others not in the US, the state of Georgia has a legislature runoff face where a Texan is running against a Georgian. The Texan appears to have failed to establish residency (does not actively live in the state they are campaigning to represent) and, being a popular sports figure, has been a source of a lot of discussion around mental health and traumatic brain injury in politicians due to the candidate's many gaffes and apparent hypocrisy (paying for an abortion while claiming to want to support a general ban). The other, the incumbent and a local church pastor, comes from the nominally left-wing party and thus is the target of right-wing propaganda despite representing a lot of the values the median right-wing voter likes. Sports-in-politics are weird and no one is happy from it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Unless there's context I'm missing, I don't see how this says what you're saying. When I read this quote, I take it to mean, "if you say you want to bomb some time in the future, how do you rationally justify not doing so sooner?" It sounds like it's just an argument about strategy, that if bombing is a foregone conclusion, you're in a better position if you do so sooner than later.
