> Hmmmm. I mean, yes, but doctors will still save your life even if you declined to buy any insurance all life long or pay taxes or whatever.

ERs in the US are required to provide stabilizing care to patients who come in, even if the patient can't pay, by law. It's a law because otherwise some of them wouldn't.
The opposition pointed out his shady personal finances and ponzi stuff publicly, months before the election. Press apparently weren't interested at the time.
I don't think that's ever been a goal of Python, and it's not what people use (or should use) Python for.

Making Python faster is great because it improves every existing use case for Python, not because it now makes Python a good choice for situations where it wasn't previously a good choice.
I really wish English had different individual words for the concepts "known [problem] we should not worry about" and "[problems] I did not anticipate".
This is an often repeated but incorrect interpretation of 'survival of the fittest.'

Newborn babies can not survive, yet that says nothing about whether they 'should' or 'shouldn't' according to 'evolution.'

Evolution isn't goal directed, it isn't picking winners and losers.
Chess engine stuff, at the very least. With an integer mask representing an 8x8 board and 1s representing a single type of piece, you can find all subsets of pawn positions etc.
IME, returning a "stringly-typed" error is only wrong if you don't provide enough context in the returned error message. You can describe what you were doing as an error message and pass it back up the stack, each layer adding their own context, ie what they were trying to do to what. At the top you (should) get a pretty complete picture of what went wrong and why. I have found this reasonable and proportionate for most scenarios.
Again, 1m rising sea level != 1 meter higher storm surges (don't even get me started on the oceans being a bigger heat well and causing larger storms).

Don't forget Sandy was a Category 1 hurricane whose eye made landfall in Southern New Jersey. It was by no means a worst case scenario.

You can minimize climate change all you want, but maybe do some research first?
I am a media technician myself and the odd thing is that I have found no real corellation between price and capabilities when it comes to HDMI switchers, splitters and grabbers.

Sometimes the 400 Euro grabber works sometimes the 30 Euro one works. The expensive ones are surely more rugged tho.

I suspect all most manufacturers do is build a decice around some existing HDMI IC and if your stuff is supported by that IC and they didn't cut a ton of corners it works. Maybe you need the 4000 Euro price class to run it all, I never tried.
> For software, a programmer literally owns the means of production, so all programmers are bourgeoise?

No, they are not. Marxist analysis doesn't really map to information technology in service economies in the classical way. The principles of analysis still apply in today's society, but first you have to recast class definitions and class relationships in a meaningful way. There's a nice (but idiosyncratic) book called "The Relevance of the Communist Manifesto" that explains this, but it won't make sense unless you already have a basic grip on orthodox Marxism.
Amazing. I wish the dropdown menu was sorted in chronological order.
But people complain about this too. No one seriously talks about not treating people in the ER with gun wounds, but Obamacare explicitly introduced the mandate that you get insurance or pay a penalty to address this very issue. Everyone is entitled to a basic level of care, but the mandate says that you should have to pay for it.
I've done some porting of VB6 into C# with WinForms. It's actually a pretty direct mapping. I wrote a converter, and then spend a few minutes cleaning up the converted code per form. Took me a couple weeks to convert a 500KB program, which mostly involved going through and converting VB6-isms that failed to auto-convert into C#. I can't imagine trying to translate something like that into such a different language and UI environment as Python. Unfortunate that they'd reject such a thing just because C# came from Microsoft.
Its funny but the most useful feature that my GPS running watch provides me is a warning that my shoes have more than 300 miles on them. Known that information and then switching out right away helps avoid so much injury.
It might be helpful to know if you want to specifically learn Mandarin Chinese, or another dialect (like Cantonese).
Their data export is really bad, that was my major concern.
I'll pay them for another year, since password history is not going to be exported.

Apparently there is a PR to export password history on their lpass tool, but it was never merged.
It's felt like it was just a matter of time before this happened for years now. I wonder if they (Occulus Founders) quietly regret selling to Meta or they are happy to take the money and beat them at their own game. Sad that the most viable commercial VR set is locked behind Meta now.
Culture wars, and an increasingly naked race-to-the-bottom hopeless desperation. When you're desperate, or hopeless, grifts and crazy promises start to seem appealing. Why not throw what little I have on this crypto scheme/fraudster politician bandwagon? What else am I going to do, retire happy and healthy in the Algarve? Absolutely not.
The sold licenses, and yearly maintenance.
The subscription model killed the one-off purchase of licenses.
Suddenly if you didn't have a subscription like Red hat did, you had to pay a lot in CAPEx plus maintenance.
That meant that even with the same TCO you were out of business.
Emacs 28 has just in time compilation: the compilation happens lazily as a package is loaded. Ahead of time would means at installation time I guess.
Damage during shipping and easier handling.

Processing is a chance to use seconds - damaged or ugly potatoes that nobody would buy, and it packs more product into less space and with an easier storage mechanism (freeze) than properly packing to keep it fresh. Employees can throw boxes of frozen food onto a belt where they have to gently place boxes of fresh food.

Even with a well run shipping company and no problems you'll have a fair bit of spoilage and it means that every box is at risk of full rot (a bad apple...) and needs a human to sort through and pull it out. There are buyers of last resort at every stage of the journey who will take freshly damaged produce for immediate usage but they're often soup kitchens who can barely afford to pay.
I find being on camera extremely distracting, as I am putting so much mental energy into my camera presence that it detracts from the subject at hand, so I leave mine off with few exceptions (interviewing candidates, meeting new team members, etc.). I am quite fidgety too, and don't want to distract my teammates with my idle interactions with stuff on my desk.
I have had fresh, straight from a pro, corn tortillas. I just don't like how corn meal tastes (except as a bread with equal parts butter) so I don't like corn "bread" products.
It really depends on what area you work in. In the systems world Go still reigns.

Kubernetes is still incredibly relevant but growth is slowing down (mostly because it ate the world already).

WASM and eBPF are hot new technologies but still niche.

CDK landed last year and will probably become more and more relevant for new projects vs vanilla Terraform.
> When it comes to Java you get hordes of devs still producing passable results. The structure is largely imposed by the frameworks (mostly by Spring/Spring Boot) and available help, literature...I would say, if you have a normal-ish project, care about productivity but don't have really stellar and mature developers -- skip Clojure.

Regardless of whether I agree, I'm struck by this thinking as a sad commentary on the state of our industry: devs can't be trusted to actually architect the code for maintenance, so they should be forced to color by number with frameworks.
>> Over the years, acronyms guiding their management have evolved from ICE to RICE[1], then to PRICE[2] and POLICE (...) (PEACE) to subsequent management (LOVE). PEACE & LOVE (...)

> It feels like there must be some philosophical underpinning to creating human-like intelligence

Cognitive science, mostly stemming from this common intuition, has failed us after spending decades of research effort, while minting more than a few academic careers.

Same with many once prominent public intellectuals.

GPT is certainly presenting itself to be very uncharismatic to most and humiliating to some.
> well... actually we purge it once a week otherwise it goes completely bad

I know that when I cook stews I often end up with a lot of food bits stuck and eventually burned at the bottom and sides of the pot. I can imagine keeping it going by pouring the stew contents to another pot so that I could clean the first pot though. Without doing that... those stuck & burned bits will certainly add "flavor" to the stew.
https://www.energypriceindex.com/price-data reports no such thing. maybe 2x from a low of 25 in feb 2022 to a high of 48 in sep 2022? (nov was 35)

Terraform, being Cloud-agnostic, low level programming
They will save your life. They won't treat your trick knee, erectile dysfunction, or failing vision. And they eventually put it out to prevent it spreading. Just not with the same fervor of preventing property damage.
This is why I always told my children that books (and later - teachers) are as good as the people who wrote them. And that some of these people are dreadful.

They learned that they first must trust what their parents tell them (just joking), and then cross-check and have an open, inquisitive and sceptic mind.

This basically set religion aside (though I encouraged them to look at it from a sociological aspect) and they challenged some teachers at some point - fortunately their teachers were great and happy to see someone interested.

We also systematically had an opposed view to theirs (no matter what we thought) to force them to argument but the effect was mitigated. Yes, they have sensible opinions but they also challenged us with "why should I be home at 22:00 when I am not going to school the day after"? (to which I still have no idea what to answer)
The pessimism of the comments here confuses me. In fact, Mastodon has handled this extraordinarily well, as I see it. I'm very much in the "median Twitter user" bucket: I don't post much, I have a feed of a few hundred accounts that I follow because I want to hear what they have to say, and I browse the feed once or twice on most days to catch up, with occasionally binges during newsworthy events.

And... I've done all that on Mastodon, successfully, over the past few weeks. And it's been Just Fine! No outages, no weirdness. Big chunks of the accounts I'm following have moved over and/or started mirroring their tweets. I see maybe 30% of the volume of "readworthy Toots" that I do on Twitter. It's really extremely usable.

I hasn't replaced Twitter yet for me. But... it certainly could.
Also Twitter peaked in its traffic rankings recently which is weird timing to buy something. Why was he so insanely late to the party?

All of what you say is true. But on the plus side, you don't have the transuranic waste. Transuranic waste is the worst waste, the most dangerous and the most expensive and vital to store properly.

I don't think the basic talk therapy apps are very helpful, mostly because they have a lot of low quality therapists and matching is terrible. But I disagree with remote being inherently bad (especially compared to a year+ wait). I'd encourage OP to see if they can access any university trials for remote CBT apps. I'm aware of studies that showed promising results in the recent past but I don't know what became of any of them since COVID (which really should've catalyzed this sort of thing).
Please don't take HN threads into nationalistic flamewar. There could be an interesting point to make about how different countries and cultures approach mental illness, but snark and internet tropes are exactly the wrong way to do it.

I was mostly concerned about attachments. The export to CSV worked surprisingly well, even though the CSV doesn't seem to match the spec.

To be fair, I sampled some passwords, not all of them.

For attachments, it took me almost a day, I found an official command line tool called lpass and modified the existing script to do what I needed, then I had to manually re-attach every attachment to the right passwords. A giant pain overall.
well, we have a serious energy addiction problem as large parts of the population got used to unsustainably high per-capital energy lifestyles (basically burning fossil fuel repositories like there is no tomorrow). so any paths to clean energy production are worth pursuing - provided they don't create an illusory sense of comfort and unsubstantiated hope that some fancy tech will solve everything.

fundamentally though, one would think that trying to create artificially solar interior conditions on Earth while the planet is literarily drenched in sunlight is not the shortest path to energy salvation. Life has invented already several ways to harness that energy and we have invented a few more in the meantime. I think the odds are that we will have more (as in: sufficiently) efficient harnessing of solar energy long before we create locally little suns to play with.

The impact of Murdoch’s success in the hardest environment available, has been the long ringing death knell of many ideas we hold as intrinsic to civilized society.

The fact that Rupert Murdoch’s model worked, has not been lost on hundreds of tyrants around the world.

>“left” isn’t a thing academically because there isn’t some line that actually captures the wide variety of political positions.

Well, for Europeans (and I'd guess Canadians, Latin Americans, etc.) there is a line, and the Dems never cut it. A fuzzy line (a spectrum if you will on the left) doesn't mean there isn't one, and one can be of either side. Dems are not, and have never been, even close to the fuzzy "border" part of that line, always to the right of it.

Centrist is the more accurate term for Dems (and even that's charitable).

It's basically center-right (Dems), and right-to-far-right (GOP).

Sure, for some Americans, Democrats might be called "left", but then again other Americans also considered Swedish style social democracy as "communism".

>This meme of “there is no left in America” is just a childish way of saying, “I don’t like the current majority opinion of the Democratic Party”.

No, it's more like saying "America never has had a left party, just a party more to the left than the other".

Not in any historical sense of the term as developed and still currently used in Europe, at any rate.
A lot of thoughtful advice here so let me just say yes, I turned my life around at 44.

Went from decades of “freelancing” which was a lot more like unemployed to a series of decent jobs and growth potential.

You can do it.
We should all expect candidates to be dishonest. And that's by far the most appropriate posture for journalists. I agree that the state party is crap, which is precisely how they lost so many House seats.

with my comment and a few more it will be something.
The evidence is very noisy, for sure. My only basis for this is the private text exchange with Jack Dorsey where they discussed how Twitter should have been built. To me that’s the only true window into his intentions - all other public comms are tainted by other potential motivations.

To me, Musk is kind of the quintessential engineering bro, who’s fundamentally motivated by wanting to be the one who solves the trickiest problems. Sometimes his actual decision-making is influenced by vanity and voyeurism, but the underlying theme seems to be rooted in problem-solving.
It takes a long time to pull flavor and nutrients out of bones.
Canada's use of MAID (Medical Assistance In Dying) is a creepy one for euthanasia. Seems to imply that dying people are a dirty mess to be swept out the door and into the trash bin.

This is very true, and not always realized.

Another way I heard it said which is easy to remember: "You can't read the label from inside the bottle."
That's understandable, but has nothing to do with what the poster was saying.

* Designing Freedom by Stafford Beer. I also recommend anything by Stafford Beer.

* Anything by Christopher Alexander

What about the possibility that shared experience of black people in a toxic society result in a higher occurence of these themes presenting themselves during the course of a difficult psychedelic experience?

This article assumes a lot about the experience¹, while also strangely blaming the latin american heritage of this novel compound for unpleasant experiences of some users. Finally, there appers to have been minimal research, as DMT sources exist on the african continent, and users of all backgrounds are capable of having perceived negative encounters with the machine elves.

The Migration Observatory (https://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/commentaries... costs section) also cites the GBP 120m figure, along with a citation of Select committee evidence that there will be further per-person costs to HMG.

The Obamacare penalty for not buying insurance was eliminated by Trump, because reintroducing the free rider problem is a cornerstone of GOP health policy.

Reinstating the penalty is going to cost political goodwill, which is why the Dems aren't doing it.

Regardless of whether the penalty is or is not in place, I wouldn't recommend being poor and sick, regardless of whether you are insured, or are freeloading.
It's still an automated decision, so I would assume the new law to grant you a right to discuss this with a human who will explain what the risk factors were.
We primarily use custom exceptions to add detail to our error logs while still remaining concise. Generic exceptions are exceptionally useless for trying to debug issues, I've found.
It could be... But were the laws that way in 17th century England?

I suspect not, because property ownership in England used to be secret - ie. Even the government may not have known who owned land. And if you don't know who owns it, who must pay the bill?
