Complete nonsense.

The Fed isn't supposed to address any "issues", but simply be neutral.

Instead they've spent a century saving entities that socialized private losses.
Ah, I remember the joys of discovering music production and the exploration of the audio multiverse. What I wouldn't give to be in your shoes right now :)

I also unfortunately remember trying to RTFM incomplete / incorrect docs and trying to hunt down some obscure forums in search for some nuggets of knowledge. Oh, and YT wasn't quite a thing it is today, so watching potato resolution YT videos (if any) was the norm.

Luckily that's much less the case these days, so you're starting at a massive advantage if you want to learn. In that regard, someone in the BWS community some time ago shared a list of tutorials for people starting out: https://markdownpastebin.com/?id=7515a658a4ec4aee9f40910485a...

That should get you going nicely :)
Yeah, I asked it to write stories about sports teams and they looked passable. But if I asked for variation, they'd ultimately all read just about the same way. It was still impressive, though, tbh.
> Also, hashing JSON is something which looks somewhat dangerous.

Hashing JSON is an idea that gives me the creeps because two identical bits of JSON can have different hashes, which sounds like a much bigger problem to me than two different bits of JSON having the same hash.

{"k1":40,"k2":25}

and

{"k2":25,"k1":40}

are the same object; no matter what you're using the hash for, they should have the same hash.
Most ground mount solar projects have a base flood elevation, under which the panels will be inundated with water, not to mention, moved at least once a year. A rack-less mounting solution might work in some locations, but very few.
Here is what I like—I like when I go to use my device and it just works. If the trade off to that is a single browser, i’m totally ok with it. I can count on one hand and have multiple fingers leftover the number of times I have HAD to reboot, restart, or do any troubleshooting whatsoever on my ipads after nearly a decade of owning them.
We are fucked, not because the problem can’t be solved, but simply because we aren’t seriously addressing it. The window for solving the problem is still open but closing rapidly.
Near the end the "conundrum" is answered ... the article only exists to stir the pot ... yes if the initial response to the pandemic on the part of the "trump wannabe party" was an appalling response ... certain media should understand there will be a lag in great number of people who didn't seek out earlier treatment / intervention, and stop trying to paint the fools (scum depending on view) that were in charge as totally innocent and making noises about those who were voted in to replace them. This high is from poor actions two years in the making. A pipe at near capacity isn't meant to run way above capacity for long.

"“One of the other important factors is we see higher non-Covid deaths when there are Covid deaths,” she said. “Part of it could be people are not getting healthcare when they need it, particularly emergency care, or there could be more undiagnosed Covid than we know about.”

That's what it looks like. The other thing that is odd is that I asked it if it learned from my responses. It said it did not, but I've also seen its answers change after arguing with it on things that it got wrong.

It makes me think it could also be intentionally misled.
I'm as much a fan of caveat emptor as any libertarian, but that doesn't mean we can't make it easier.

Parsing 20+ pages of legalese, when it could be shipped as a diff instead, is simply inefficient.
The real meat of what CI/CD does is closely tied to the platform, I don't think there's a great way to improve that. Running on different configurations, uploading artifacts, deployment, etc.

Generally, I do as much as possible in the build system proper. The CI should mostly be running simple commands. Avoid GitHub Actions which can be trivially replaced with one or two shell commands (which is a lot of them).
I've seen so many otherwise very smart founders who drink their own kool-aid and baselessly convince themselves that not only they are a must-have, but the world is completely doomed without them. What complicates this is, you can't reason with them (seen as attack on their ego), and these questions usually come up when it's too early for robust sales numbers, because if you have robust sales, then who cares? you already found your fit and don't need to read articles like this.
They bought SwiftKey and now whenever I type a phrase like "I'll do x" the entire word prediction bar is replaced with "add {do x} to Microsoft Todo"

> For a Soviet citizen, not yet familiar with how the market economy worked, the game was a sort of guide to capitalism.

It's not like people just didn't know how market economies worked, especially when this game was made. There were still individual and family enterprises in the Soviet Union: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprises_in_the_Soviet_Unio...

And by the 90s "blue jeans" integration was to the point that we shouldn't pretend Soviet gamers would be agape at the intricacies of capitalism in the wee simulation in Kommersant lol.
I'm assuming you are being sarcastic, but in case you are not, I think it is a good question.

It seems like having as many children as you want should be a negative human right, up until the point where you can no longer support them and neglect them.

It is a really weird situation though because there are so many social supports in place for children and parents. unwanted children can be put up for adoption. Should there be a limit on the number of times this can be be done by a single individual?
It is interesting how different people have different experiences. I grew up in the days of green monochrome terminals and monitors, and hated them. I bought an amber monitor as soon as they became available, and that helped a bit with the eyestrain.

Windows 3, Word for Windows and TSE were a godsend to me. Finally, I could read and write code and documents the way I thought they were intended to be viewed- dark text on a light background, mimicking real-world books and papers.

Today, I do use dark mode; my devices are set up to go dark late at night, in case I wake up and want to check something without burning my eyes. But that comprises a miniscule amount of the time I spend in front of a screen.
The GM streetcar conspiracy basically gave dealerships to already politically connected individuals in return for killing off streetcars - the payoff being that the busses that replaced (poorly, hence encouraging private car ownership) would be bought via the dealerships. Car dealership owners are often car dealership owners because of adjacency to power, not the reverse.
The alternative is pumping radioactive, polluting waste into the atmosphere, which is exactly what Germany is doing right now with its coal-burning plants.

You like breathing radioactive coal waste?
I can't speak for how Carvana operates today, but when I bought my car years ago the loan was subcontracted through some unrelated financial provider (Go Financial, now Bridgecrest). I remember being kind of annoyed at this; that I wasn't just signing in to Carvana's website to pay. But, its fine.

I think Carvana did make mistakes; but I also think the industry as a whole is very deeply suffering right now. And we only hear about Carvana because they're a VC SV darling.
Ironically when I need to drive a nail into my wall I don’t reach for my radial saw.
How do you pay for it? Economic growth means more money for things we want.

I mean we can have technological advancement with fewer people. But it’s likely going to be slower and fewer people can afford it.
I have trouble reading dark screen mode. Maybe because I am old?

When I pair program or someone is screen sharing on zoom, I need to ask for the other person to switch modes.

That said, dark themes look cool.
I love talking to people. I don't like being talked to.
I'm surprised Canonical doesn't get more shit than they do. Not sure why no one talks about it
Absolutely, but there are a few points that render this ineffective as a market mechanism in our current reality.

Point 1: You're probably yourselves vs a professional management company / large property owner. They obviously bring more resources and experience to a legal case than you do, in addition to simply having more time to engage in one.

Point 2: That's assuming you can even take the case to court, and didn't sign away any disputes into arbitration.
This sounds silly when I say it out loud, but reaching for the number row always felt like a chore. Of course, when I had to input numbers, I'd still have to reach for the number row. But when numbers were optional, say for vim bindings that take a `[count]`, I opted to look for alternatives instead.

A few months ago however, I bought a moonlander keyboard. Now, I've got one of it's keys that, when held, maps the right side to a full traditional numpad. Typing numbers is much more seamless now. Besides numbers, other keys that always broke my flow (looking at you right curly brace) are much easier to type.

Just thought I'd share as it really elevated my overall typing/vim experience.
These cheap (seriously a $15 heater can’t produce enough heat to cover a room larger than a small bedroom) heaters also can’t be controlled with a central thermostat. Water radiators (or electric heat pumps, etc) can be controlled for the whole home, or by individual locations (without needing to manually turn valves).

In fact, at least in the US, space heaters aren’t allowed to be automatically turned on by any means. They require a person to start it manually each time you want heat. Because they aren’t permanently installed, it is a potential fire hazard. A pet/kid/etc could run past it and knock it over. If that happened near a blanket or pillow, the fabric could catch fire.

I can’t imagine being able to buy something less safe in Switzerland.

Well, there's one particular exception that I find super relevant -- my own commit messages. There are a number of times when I know I made a code change, and can't remember why, and my own commit messages in the git log remind me.

Hopefully as a side benefit others also find them helpful, but my present self is always grateful to past-self's conscientiousness!
I am a landlord in France, and from what I've seen, rental contracts are essentially not worth the paper they are written on.

Either what you put in the contract is a law, so it is effective no matter if you write it or not, or it isn't and in this case, there is a high chance it is considered abusive and therefore not legally enforceable. In fact, you might as well not write anything at all! If someone lives on someone's property and pays money in exchange, there is an implicit contract with standard clauses between the two parties. I think the only additional right a written contract can give a landlord is to increase the rent, but by no more than the inflation rate.

> On the other hand, Japan is the home of expensive high end recreations of American casual clothes - look up Take Ivy, BEAMS, nice selvedge jeans, etc.

I remember some acquaintances running a decent side business buying and then selling vintage American clothes back in Japan (shipping or flying back).

This was back in the 1990s so I believe it.

(it also brought back some fond memories)
> The point of this silly question is to consider just how much of an outsized role the Fed now holds.

Among the overarching points of the U.S. Constitution is that people who wield vast power stand for election.

The Federal Reserve urinates all over this point.

Reforming the Federal Reserve is sine qua non IMO if there is to be any improvement.
Sure some do, but it’s an exception rather than a rule. Generally you’re already paying the market up for the credit card fee but get none of the benefits.

Id rather take the benefits.

Response:

A POST request is an HTTP request method used to send data to a server to create or update a resource.

It is typically used when submitting an HTML form to a web server. It is one of the most common HTTP methods, and is used to retrieve or modify data on a web server.
I'm sorry, but misplaced confidence like yours is the tiresome part. I think you should also apply Bayesian thinking to the whole debate as well.

I'm not a cosmologist, but I have a degree in Physics. I won't be able to fill in the details, but all your objections sound pretty basic and unfounded even to my semi-amateur ears. About the cosmic distance ladder (as if parallax were the only way. I guess we don't see Earth's curvature either), about how to propagate errors (literally learnt in the 1st week of Physics. Those bars around the scatter points are literally the error bars, and we propagate them from start to finish). And even about the scientific method itself. No one can claim "there's no potential error anywhere" in anything.

And most importantly, which was my original main point, galaxy rotation curves are not our only evidence.

BTW, I would encourage you to look at how fossils are dated. To me it sounds kind of similar in spirit to how distances are measured in astronomical scales.
Uber is the same way. At first it was novel and driver pay was heavily subsidized so you had high quality drivers with nice cars. Over time the price for riders increased, driver pay decreased, and driver quality also decreased.
"Dark matter" implies a new field. Or rather, a new field or force that affects gravity implies some sort of interaction exactly like a massive particle that interacts only gravitationally. Particles are just localized disturbances in fields (in quantum field theory), and new fields can have such disturbances and thus have particles. In this (trivial) sense, MOND is a type of "dark matter" theory that posits a particle with only gravitational interactions.

Of course we don't have a quantum field theory for gravity, so the above is hand-waving away a HUGE issue of what that new field would be like, how its particles would act, etc, since we don't even know what the quantum gravitational field is like and what its particles are like (assuming such a thing even makes sense).

My question is what safeguards have you put in place not to get a huge bill from OpenAI in case users/bots abuse your interface. Assuming you're using the API and not an alternative GPT model like GPT-J.

I remember the Christian anti-Harry-Potter craze when I was a kid.
Preachers would have hour-long television programs about how this, this, and this were in those books.
But none of it was.
I knew.
I had read them.

I have never trusted what others wanted to convinced me a book was 'about' since then.

Education (so far as I see it) should leave one, as best is possible, with an understanding of a body of work.
To agree or disagree with that body of work is a separate affair.
What those preachers and what people like James Lindsay want, so far as I am concerned, is a so-called understanding that leads to an end other than understanding in and of itself.
Quite simply, if someone were to read Lindsey's work and come away thinking that X, Y, or Z in fact had a point, I doubt he would be happy with that outcome.
Thanks for elaborating - and reminding me there are no magic tricks; it's about the effort we put in (which you pretty much max out).

It seems you will eventually accumulate enough assets to pay for a comfortable lifestyle indefinitely. I wish you well and that you can use that to enjoy life on your terms.
Here here. I hate hate hate light text on dark backgrounds. I have to work harder to read, and as soon as I look away, I see ghosting everywhere for a few seconds. Complete rubbish dark mode is. I have blue eyes, ~-6.5 near-sighted correction, and a pretty bad astigmatism, so this may have something to do with it.
What services though? I've done enterprise software systems and in the developer position, if it did break, they just rolled everything back. It's been genuinely years, but is that not common? I can kind of understand in game services, but I can't think of another situation i've been in. Given my experience with this was in 2000's with massive java apps.

Steve wore the same thing every day because that’s what Japanese workers at Sony did at the time.

It was common for Japanese engineers to wear uniforms just like factory workers do. You can look up pictures from Nintendo where they’re wearing jumpsuits designing Mario.
There aren't connections in SQLite like there are for network-connected DBs (eg MySQL). My simple code is like this:

sqlite3_initialize();
sqlite3 *db;
sqlite3_open("/data/sqlite.db", &db);
char *err = 0;
sqlite3_exec(&db, "DROP TABLE table_name;", NULL, NULL, & err); // This takes ~5ms even when table_name does not exist
>Fear of russian aggression gave us the internet, nuclear weaponry, jet engines and the space program.

This isn't quite true. Jet engines were already being developed during WWII, including in Germany. The space program in the US was partially a by-product of the German rocketry developments.

So yes, wars and conflict have driven many technological developments, but some of them go back farther than you think, or are not just because of "fear of russian aggression".
I highly doubt that would fly in the EU. Privatization always was 'at arms length', piss off enough bureaucrats and I'm pretty sure you'd find yourself nationalized pdq. Telcos have had the sharp end of the stick pointed at them a couple of times now and have each and every time folded rather than to see how sharp it really was, I don't think energy companies would fare any different, especially not because energy is more or less a first level need and telco services a second or even lower level one.
Agreed—the article is sort of silly in that it debunks a bunch of bogus claims about dark mode, but then completely overlooks the main legitimate use, which is to limit exposure to artificial light at night. You basically want to get as much light during the day as is safely possible to stay focused and alert (note that this can be counterindicated for people with certain health conditions, like glaucoma), and then limit light exposure as much as possible at night in order to be able to fall asleep and keep your circadian rhythms healthy.

> For me, it makes a lot more sense to tax realized profit, or better yet consumption, than wealth itself.

Why not tax all of that simultaneously? That's what the Dutch do.

And yet various governments are doing or are planning exactly that.
Python as a language is smaller even if the library is larger.

You can do many many things in Python without needing to know much other than working with dictionaries.

In C++, doing a sort or a string search is an ordeal. So much of common programming requires so much cognitive overload.

C++ is not an easy language. Not by a long shot.
Interesting, sounds like the oil is transparent and "spicy":

> But while Calabrians venerated the white olive, they rarely consumed it. Rotella has uncovered very few past or present instances of the oil or olives being used as a part of local cuisine, besides accounts from farmers of frying the olives and eating them as a frugal, simple snack while working. The oil from white olives is transparent and, according to Rotella, was generally considered too spicy and unusual for the Calabrian palate.
There's way too many options to put into even a book, let alone this message[0], but here are some things to consider:

• Burning all the known fossil fuels is more than enough to raise CO2 to the level necessary to severely impact (>25% slowdown) human cognition

• Although plants like CO2, they are often limited by other things instead

• Although we can build personal air supplies for us and greenhouses for plants to optimise each, this is more expensive than not causing the damage in the first place, so not doing the latter implies we will not do the former either

• We've messed up local environments more than once, and observed mass migrations as a result; while I'm fine with migrants and confused by those who aren't, I don't let my utopian ideals blind me to the political reality that this will end badly for many innocent people

• Quite a lot of property and infrastructure at low elevation and near the coast, combined with a significant risk that the threshold for total loss of various major ice sheets[1] is less than or equal to 4 C

The extreme condition you are talking about often will be unenforceable. It doesn't stop people from trying, though.

Generally, contracts on the US where there is one party who writes them and another party who doesn't get to edit them (leases, employment contracts, etc.) have a lot of case law about what can and can't be enforced on the party who doesn't have authorship control. Contacts where both parties are writing them have a lot more freedom to screw a participant, but also generally savvier participants.
> Point 2:

I don't think that matters at all; if you have a term in your contract that a court will find unconscionable, an arbitrator is... shall we say, extremely likely to find the same thing.

You're also free to haul the arbitrator into court if they make an egregious ruling. The fact that you were subject to binding arbitration and the arbitrator awarded your firstborn son to the company isn't going to be any more convincing to a judge than the alternative fact that your contract clearly states you're giving up your firstborn son to the company.
