This calculation is for a ballistic projectile without air resistance. For a missile with a rocket engine, there is no minimum velocity, but you can compute the fuel energy required for the change of altitude. Delta-v isn’t important for a sub-orbital intersection trajectory, although you’ll obviously want your interceptor missile to get there fairly quickly (which will end up being more fuel efficient than a slow climb).
OMG please leave your dependency injection in your Java project and keep Python clean with its easy to use list of default parameters.
The reason is that the community decided they needed some form of type annotations, but nobody could agree on which ones or how they should work. So some syntax was added just so the parser wouldn't fall over, but the semantics were left to other projects to "let 100 flowers bloom".

This worked about as predictably as you would expect. If you grabbed a random package from pypi, suddenly your choice in typechecker might complain about its API if it wasn't made using the same typechecker as you, so a separate, "standard" choice in typechecking was made called mypy. But they couldn't break older code not using mypy so it's strictly optional.
Doing dry jan this year helped to change my perspective on alcohol. My current outlook is that its fine outside the house as an enjoyable social thing, but drinking at home isn’t worth it. I’m sure that view will change over the years.

You need more than bootloaders. You need drivers compatible with somewhat maintained kernels too.

My phone's bootloader is unlocked and if I fix my broken USB port I could flash any Linux system onto it, but Linux has no drivers for most of the phone's hardware. The WiFi and Bluetooth probably won't work and the GPU probably won't be doing anything useful and the camera or fingerprint scanner will never in a million years perform like they do on Android.

You can't really continuously operate a smartphone without disconnecting the battery or it will swell up and die. Doing so with this phone will require careful removal of both the screen and the back plate with heated pads, suction cups, spudgers, and lots of tiny screws.

I may one day get around to replacing the battery and bad USB board, but if I do so it'll take at least a day of YouTube-guided work, maybe more. Then I'm still stuck with an outdated version of Android or an unofficial LineageOS fork by Some Guy because projects like postmarketOS have so far given up on my device (one maintainer broke their phone, the other gave up "for their sanity").

Until parties like Qualcom start working with the Linux kernel instead of against it, and Apple opens up their bootloaders, I don't expect these devices to be usable for anyone for the next couple of years. It sounds quite enticing to have an ARM cluster of relatively quick trashed phones, but the work you need to put into each phone separately to get it to work just isn't worth it.

Question is - have it ever been tried to stimulate childbirth directly? Such as, hiring single lower-class women, singing them on long-term contracts, putting them into controlled, centralised facilities, getting them (through IVF) pregnant from selected pool of higher-quality males, and paying them to have many (5-10) babies? Then raising and educating them in government-controlled facilities as well? That sucks in terms of their mental health/social adaptation, as history of people raised in foster care shows, but it was hardly optimal in large families of the past where kids were born in part because of lack of contraception, in part to force them to work in the field from young age.
That's a desperate measure but it really seems there's nothing better that can be done?

A net health risk in a population. If we plot alcohol consumption in a population where x is alcohol consumed and y is health outcomes, and start from a value of ”y=1” at ”x=0” consumption, the curve will have a negative derivative everywhere.

Alcohol may be fun, and moderate drinkers may reach old age, but statistically speaking it’s not a) necessary or b) healthy.

Claims otherwise are delutional (unless one has some really unique response to alcohol consumption).

Alcohol is fun in moderate amounts just like cake but neither are good for you. This does not mean one should not drink or eat cake - just don’t delude yourself

I don’t know how to write the following compassionately so I’m going to just write it - my intention is not to insult. I’m not sure why you are equating drug use with physiological necessities but if you feel you need to be defensive of your or someone elses drinking habits that’s a red flag for alcoholism.

Usually alcoholics - typical of addiction- get pretty defensive of their habit. ”This is good for me”, ”I know what I’m doing”, ”This is nobodys business but my own”. So if one is drinking - well, even moderately by their standards thoughts like these should give a pause and instigate a moment of self reflection.

Also everyone reports this uncritically. As an example, if I were the boss and had identified that engagement was broken, demonstrated it, and an engineer suggested it was me being uninteresting rather than looking at the engineering problem I'd set him, it would at least be a mark against them.

If I were already identifying who to cut because of the worst economy I personally have experienced in my 40y, I'd likely fire in that situation.

Was that the situation? I'm not sure, but prior to this Elon took his tweets private for a day. That, coupled with stories from Taylor Lorenz re the view counter being experimentally synthetic (if true), lends credence to my theory.

But in general, if I see a lot of echoed hitpieces like this, I ascribe malice to the uncritical reporter. I have to have read ten articles about this, and all of them just parrot the allegation uncritically.

>> To identify a “safe” level of alcohol consumption, valid scientific evidence would need to demonstrate that at and below a certain level, there is no risk of illness or injury associated with alcohol consumption.

This is ridiculous and boarders on intentionally false & misleading. We look for meaningful or demonstrated risk all the time in our assessments, not the absolute absense of it.

This is typical WHO nonsense similar to their ongoing clanging of the Covid alarm.

Love it too. Reminds me of the terseness of Haskell, which I also enjoy.

Whenever I need that "high-level view" you mentioned, I enjoy seeing the whole module without having to scroll/search. In codebases where I gotta jump around too much, I feel disoriented and slowed-down. Like for example on Rails classes where single-use variables are replaced by single-use private methods, that are often far away from it's original usage point. I understand the rationale for doing it but it still tax me mentally when trying to get a holistic understanding of the code.

But then again, some people get used to sparse code and for then I assume such terseness can be overwhelming. Oh well. I just wish they could see my point of view too.

All medicine have risks, the added alcohol is a tiny extra risk that the medical community thinks it is worth taking because it has benefits that are greater than the risks. For example, other chemicals that could be used as a substitute may be worse or poorly tested.

Medicine containing alcohol often comes with a few more counter-indications because of it, plus it limits the sales to people who wish to maintain strict abstinence, like Muslims. If they keep the alcohol, it is probably for a good reason.

It is completely different from recommending alcohol itself.

As someone who neither took notes nor studied for basically anything I disagree. I cannot study effectively. I would cram some facts in 30 minutes prior to a test and that’s it. I don’t think I was alone. It had nothing to do with looking uncool.

Most stuff is simply taught in class and if you pay attention and remember it you will be fine. Teachers tend not to test stuff they did not teach.

I always thought studying was for kids who either did not pay attention or wasted their time taking notes without actually learning. I’ve softened that opinion since but many people absolutely do not need to study much.

> How many read from csv functions would we be left with?

It probably couldn't be that, because many build on one another. Some are deprecated and others are clearly incompatible, but out of 50 parameters you likely could imagine calling this with 20 parameters if the environment and the CSV you're ingesting are wonky enough.

I think feasible refactorings would be:

- rationalise currently separate parameters into meatier objects e.g. there's at least half a dozen parameters which deal with dates parsing, a dozen which configure the low-level CSV parsing, etc... that could probably be coalesced into configuration objects

- a builder-type API, but you'd end up at the same result using intermediate steps instead of a function, not really useful unless you leverage (1) and each builder step configures a non-trivial amount of the system, so rather than 50 parameters you'd have maybe 10 builder, each with 0~10 knobs

- or you'd build the thing as a bunch of composable transformers on top of a base parser

Of note: the latter at least might be undesirable from the Pandas POV, as it would imply layers of recursive Python calls, which might be much slower than whatever Pandas currently does (I've no idea).
and yet we do this all the time. Your city probably produces an air quality alert that has some form of ranges; I doubt it says "one particulate of pollution found in the air; stop breathing!".
Veering entirely off topic, but between the two fictional characters of god and Satan, god is far more evil: deaths attributable to god in the bible - 2,000,000+; deaths attributable to Satan in the bible - 10. And don’t forget all the women and children god sanctioned in to bondage. Satan was also apparently the talking snake that encouraged Eve to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, freeing humanity from the mental stupor god had endowed us with. Satan seems a rather decent fellow compared to god, and Elon seems much more like the petty, vindictive, thin-skinned god than the calculating Satan. But I digress.

Edit: spelling
> Alcohol ... has been classified as a Group 1 carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer decades ago – this is the highest risk group, which also includes asbestos, radiation and tobacco.

But as I understand it we do have a notion of "safe" dosages of radiation.

Isn't this statement then like saying "no level of exposure to radiation is safe for our health?" Maybe I'm wrong but I would think that the risk of cancer from radiation increases smoothly as the dosage increases such that "there is no threshold at which the carcinogenic effects 'switch on'". Thus, by extension, nobody should ever fly on an airplane because the increased radiation exposure is inherently unsafe.

The thing is, we draw these threshold lines on smooth continua all the time. Nothing special happens to you at midnight on your eighteenth or twenty-first birthday. You are not meaningfully more intoxicated at 0.07 BAC than at 0.08.

To the extent that we expect agencies like the WHO to help us make informed, practical decisions regarding this sort of absolutist statement seems like an abdication of that responsibility. It equates all drinking of any amount into a single class with no gradations, which is clearly false. Drinking a lot has a lot more risk than drinking a little. And drinking a little may add only a little risk to a life that's full of other risk.

In my experience that is because people who point that out usually eat all kinds of crap full of sugar and transfats, drink bubbly-sugary drinks (is Coke even better than a good beer?), live in noisy polluted cities and often work themselves to death for status or 3rd car for their family or whatever. But somehow my couple of bottles of beer on weekend is a health emergency and we need to tax it 1000% and only allow to sell if from 9 to 10 am on Mondays or something...
