That wouldn't be a great lesson. Russia was obviously, calamitously incompetent in their invasion. It won't be hard for China to do better. Also anti-tank weapons are an odd choice for a conflict that's likely to be mostly naval.

Trade Wars was a fantastic game, but that last time I played about a decade ago a lot of people had turned to automation which took a lot of the fun out of it, for me personally.
I don't see how any of that is relevant here. Many countries have committed crimes and injustices throughout history, and in some cases continue to commit crimes and injustices. That doesn't say anything meaningful about China and Taiwan.
I didn't accuse you of anything besides putting words in people's mouths.

DFW’s essays are more about his personal insights into the subject rather than the subject itself. I’m sure not everything written is 100% word-for-word accurate, but I don’t get the impression he embellishes too much because he doesn’t have to. The subjects of his essays are quite mundane: a mediocre cruse, a middling tennis player, 4H, etc.
I'm just very wary of the 'white supremacist terrorism' narrative that politicians and alphabet agencies have been trying to sell lately to justify increases in domestic surveillance/police state infrastructure.

And don't get me wrong, I spend plenty of time on 4chan watching this shit, I know there are some truly hateful and dangerous people out there. But It doesn't seem like they're as organized as the narrative would have us believe. Hell, Patriot Front seems like one of the meaner orgs and it didn't take long for them to be revealed as probably being an FBI honeypot.

On one hand I'm spooked by letter agencies. On the other, it seems like they're doing a pretty good job infiltrating and undermining domestic hate organizations, perhaps to the point that they're outright running them, albeit into the ground.
Just want to agree with the fun that ‘80 days’ is :)

Eh, I always viewed it more as having a guided reference manual on hand more then letting someone untrained perform a repair. A mechanic might know exactly how a car engine works, but they probably don't know the exact part numbers, torque specs, and disassembly / reassembly order to gain access to an specific area on repair for that specific model and year of car.

Having migrated 1000s of lines of legacy r, all I can say is… yes, but then you have you to use r. (:

R is not a replacement for pandas.

R is it’s own special little painful ecosystem, loved by people who don’t have to maintain the code they write.

You can complain all you like about pandas, but at the end of the day, it’s python. Python tooling works with it. The python ecosystem works with it.

It’s not without faults, but at least you’ll have a community of people to help when things go wrong.

R, not so much.

(Spoken as jaded developer who had to support r on databricks, which is deep in the hell of “well, it’s not really a tier one language” even from their support team)

How does throwing paint at a painting terrorize the population?

I'm sure some people cared but I don't think it strikes fear when people hear about it.
That is a good question. Not terribly hard to answer either. Things in America cost a lot. Labor costs a lot. Everyone needs a livable wage and good health care, even carpenters. Wood costs a lot, and it should because trees take a long time to grow and deforestation accelerates climate change. And regarding climate change, energy costs a lot and it should because if it didn’t, then there would be more even more climate change. So that’s the answer to the question of why can’t everyone own a home and not commute. It is because we care more about workers and the environment and have chosen to give those issues the highest priority. And if you don’t like that, it’s a free country; there is more affordable housing in states where people care less about workers and the environment. Ironically, many of those states are actually better places for workers and the environment, but that wasn’t the question.
That was a good talk. Thanks for linking it.

> Russia was obviously, calamitously incompetent in their invasion.

Sure, but China's not immune to the corruption that's helped make the Russian a much less effective force than it was supposed to be on paper. Some of the lessons remain important for a well-managed force; the effective use of drones and man-portable missiles has clear implications for every military.

> Also anti-tank weapons are an odd choice for a conflict that's likely to be mostly naval.

Javelins can be used on amphibious landing craft, and any successful amphibious assault would eventually land armored vehicles; Stingers would be useful against the almost certain paratroops. A building-to-building battle for cities in Taiwan would be absolutely brutal; I don't think China wants that.

Almost got scammed by something like this when our dishwasher broke last year. Found on Google Maps a listing for “[locality] Appliance Repair”, in a small shopping center storefront nearby. Called the number and sounded like I had reached a large call center, with the sound of other people talking and typing in the background, so this was the first red flag (the storefront on the map would have been this small little place). They wanted a credit card number in advance, for which they’d charge $75 or something as a deposit, also unusual for this kind of business around here. Halfway through giving them my number my spidey sense reached a tipping point and I hung up.

Double checking the map later and looking at Street View, the storefront was conveniently obscured by a tree.
The reality is that it was always unlikely that Microsoft (or Meta, or Google, or Apple…) would be able to create disruption in AR, VR, etc. on the magnitude of the initial iPhone release. Better to keep their powder dry to acquire the startups that potentially can.
I don't feel a need to back them up at all, which is why my first question is asked, but not yet answered.

Why do I need to backup my git repos from GitHub, etc...?
It's amazing how many wrong answers there are in this thread. This is the only correct one.
For me, before I even get to packaging, I hit the install/environment issue with python. Python, by default, wants to be installed at a system level and wants libraries/packages to be at a system level.

That shit has to stop. The default needs to be project local installs. Node might have issues but one thing they got right is defaulting to project local installs vs python where you need various incantations to get out of the default "globals" and you need other incantations to switch projects.
Context? As individuals? As tech people, collectively? As a nation? As the entire human race?

And, in what area? Economically? Socially? Morally? Technologically? Politically?

My answers, which may completely miss the point of your question:

- Care about other people. Have and practice empathy. Find a few that you are drawn to, and love them. (I don't mean sex. I mean care for them, and show it in action.)

- Care about society. Care about justice. (I don't mean "social justice", as it's usually defined, but... for a healthy society, there must be justice, and it must not be just another means for the powerful to oppress the powerless. There must be real justice, justice that helps the powerless when the powerful attack them.)

- I believe that God is there - not just as a word or an idea, but He is really there. Knowing Him, loving Him, and walking with Him is really what it's all about.

Working with Actual Big Data (tm) will inevitably hit issues with both aspects in pandas, where polars can theoretically help.

Granted, the real correct solution for manipulating Actual Big Data (tm) is at the data warehouse level itself before it even hits Python but that's a topic for another day.
I haven't, but I think, outside of fiction, history is littered with examples of these kinds of witch hunts happening. What bothers me is that now, more than ever, we know about these outcomes – and as you point out there's even neo-folklore about them – and yet we haven't progressed enough as a species to stop them happening.

Closer to a 380 than a jumbo in having full length double deck. Take out the ludicrous bits (ventral escalators) and it's a rational design. I guess folding wings was for the same reasons people do it now: airport technology/wing-length assumptions.

The elevators are entirely rational for use in less developed airstrips, but not for volume passenger use.

I wonder if LNG engines would have had as much thrust? It's lower energy fuel but I have no idea if it's lower ISP if that is part of the turbine equation: GE and RR engines are used for gas electric generation so it obviously works.
What does Binance routinely lie about?
> Argentinians do that coz Argentinian banks cannot be trusted

Incorrect. Argentinians do that because taxes are incredibly high, and if you earn in USD you must sell it at the official dollar rate (less than half of the real rate), and you can't even buy the dollars you sold back because there's a cap on how much USD you can buy per month (I think it's 200USD). Argentinian devs LOVE crypto because they love evading taxes (justifiably or not)

data.table syntax is indeed more concise but harder to parse later, which is more important in a collaborative environment.

dplyr syntax IMO is the best balance between clarity and nonredundancy as evident in pandas/polar code.
If you reference XYZZY, you need to suggest Colossal Cave! I think this is the text game that inspired all the others (and the only game I've ever played on VAX/VMS). You may be able to run it with `advent` on Linux. There used to be an Emacs command for it (maybe `M-x adventure`?), but I don't remember it and I can't seem to find it on Google. It looks like there's also a Python version at https://github.com/brandon-rhodes/python-adventure
It's not common enough, apparently, because now you have more than one person reminding you about it.
I'm impressed by the responses here. I wonder if it's possible to write something in plain language that can be read, which is also represented by the image it generates.

An attempt:

I suspect that other methods of CPU segmentation, i.e. RAM channels, and PCIe lane are artificial in a similar way, i.e. cost of producing a die for a CPU is more or less the same, but pro CPUs have more of them.
Almost every single online game out there that relies on players connecting to each other instead of only a central server is vulnerable to these types of exploits, it's often just a question of finding them.

Every once in a while I feel like playing one of the older Call of Duty games on my steam library again, but then I remember that they all have known unfixed RCE exploits.
>Depends. If the cops involved do have intention to kill, and using the raid/protest to shoot a guaranteed fatal bullets, that is assassination.

I'm not sure what's the point you're trying to make here. If you read my previous comment, you'd realize that I didn't rule out that this was an "assassination", only that there wasn't any evidence to support that claim, and absent that it was responsible to leap to the conclusion of "assassination".
Amazon and Aliexpress are a good source for specialty tools that are unavailable in local retail stores or have an excessive markup.
Yikes! That is a huge adjustment.
> . But why didn't Perl or Ruby (or Tcl) win?

That is a very good question.

IIRC at the time Perl had a bad reputation because of the weird syntax "$%@" (not weird to shell programmers, so much, but they were weird...)

Python was "object orientated" and from a computer scientist.

Perl is very imperative and informal. Python felt to people like a real language, Perl did not.

I am reaching for reasons as I was very disappointed that Python was the winner. I have never liked Python (personal taste - meaningful white space? Really?) and knew Perl very well.

(Perl Vs. PHP is a different, much more interesting, and tragic story)

This is the problem with news coverage - reporters decide what’s news.

> If you worked for Google for 20 years you don't expect to be let go with no notice by an automated system.

Why? From the executive's perspective at megacorps like Google, employees are completely replaceable, and even for a megacorp, Google is incredibly scared of discrimination. The safest way to conduct layoffs is to do so completely randomly.

> You kind of expect this kind of thing in startup land.

No. In startup land, you should expect that there is a good chance that your entire company is dissolved. Your equity is completely worthless. You have no 6 month severance. You have nothing to show for the longer hours you worked besides a very sub-market salary.

Which is a regulation point that will need to implement KYC/AML.
I’d also question how low the odds of detection really are: I’m sure they could field a team but they’d need money, communications, etc. and it’d need rotation on a regular basis to avoid leaving the kind of data trail which the U.S. is good at following. Toss in the non-zero chance that they have someone or something compromised and that seems relatively unlikely to yield enough benefit before something inevitably goes wrong, especially since the stress of being in the field for that long is going to affect even elite agents. Imagine how well you’d do your job going to sleep each night wondering whether it’s the one where you’ll find out if the U.S. really stopped water-boarding prisoners, not to mention the nagging question of what happens to you and your family if the mission goes sour.
