That's like saying the illegal immigrants who cross Rio Grande are fully aware that they may die while doing so. So it is OK to let them die... they signed up for it.

The point is that economic migrants often know they will be mistreated in the destination country, but that doesn't make it morally correct to mistreat them.
what is the point that you are trying to make? that this law won't help children of poor families because they are most likely going to be neglected anyways?

that would be a bold claim to make. sure, being poor means less resources, but it does not automatically lead to neglect. even a very busy parent can be mindful about their children in what little time they get to spend together. what matters here is quality, not quantity.

letting children run around alone is not and should not be an indicator of neglect. therefore such a law does help poor families as it reduces the chances that they will be harassed for letting their children play unsupervised.

there are enough other ways for eg. teachers in school to observe and notice when children are actually being neglected.

the primary problem is that we are applying our middle class standards to what should be proper parenting, and that is wrong. parenting in poor families is naturally different, but that does not mean that poor parents can't make the effort or be mindful about their childrens upbringing.
Neat, good seeing progress on this front.

Many Windows applications since Windows 7 support fractional scaling natively (125%, 150%). Is there any way of accessing these modes with WINE? Is this really the same thing as simply setting the font DPI scale (which is what the WINE docs suggest doing)?
Same here, I overhauled the entire backend I was responsible for at my previous employment with Elixir (I was lead dev/CTO, so I had last say in the matter, and the one to bear the responsibility for any failure). The result was a remarkably resilient application that has never crashed once under my watch.

Now I'm building a SaaS solo in Elixir again. With a sprinkle of Rust. This is the best platform I have used in 16 years in this circus, bar none. Functional programming is fun, and doesn't have to be weird nor academic. And bollocks to defensive programming when you have supervisor trees.

New Elixir devs, spend some time reading through the Erlang docs as well. There is a treasure trove just below your feet that many do not even know about.

That doesn’t answer the question: what is wrong with the map? As a non pilot I can’t say that I find an airport diagram from the FAA more insightful: https://aeronav.faa.gov/d-tpp/2302/00375AD.PDF
I love functional programming because it feels natural to me to have functions that always return a value (method chaining or postfix notation FTW!) do not mutate data (and therefore avoid side effects), and use clear naming conventions for any potentially destructive functions. However, Python's popularity, vast library, and strong community make it a more practical choice for solving problems - at least when programming is not my primary focus but rather a means to an end.

While I find Clojure, Elixir, and F# attractive, it doesn't make sense to use them for anything more than experimenting or playing around, given the resources available in Python.

In my experience, the servers that hosted an application before it was in a container was much more insecure. An unfortunate amount of companies don't patch servers or upgrade the OS over time.

In the past year, I've worked with Solaris from 2005 and CentOS 5, and migrated them to either Kubernetes or modern CentOS versions.
The "data wrangling" chapter goes off the rails around the time it starts massaging the regex to handle the edge case "What if the user's username is 'Disconnected from'?" In my experience if you are using sed or awk on the logs you should give in and write some Python, or start using an actual log tool like Splunk. You'll never remember the awk syntax anyway.

On the other hand, the idea of piping your log data to a statistics package or gnuplot is fascinating. It could have benefited from showing some output from those programs to illustrate the kind of things you can get from it.

There's no correlation between intelligence and likelihood of being hoodwinked by this stuff afaict. The human biases involved are universal and plenty of very smart people are publicly attributing to it capabilities it doesn't possess.

I've used it enough to know it has no utility for me. I don't expect my world to be improved by others using it, and I think there's a strong chance it will be made materially worse. That doesn't mean I think it should be banned, that the people that invented it have done something immoral or that I'm smarter than anyone else.
Long term planning would be surprising, I agree. But what about carrying around a teddy bear? Sure, not a tool but of utility (comforting) to the child. Maybe it's just that. It had it around once and found it useful, and became 'attached' to it.

It presumes no such thing. It says that they hope and expect to make more profit in future than they do today. As they pay tax on a proportion of profits, increasing profits will mean they are increasing the amount of tax they pay even if taxes are kept at current levels.

MuleSoft works by using an API-led approach to integration, which involves building reusable APIs that can be used to connect different systems and applications. Here's an overview of how MuleSoft works:
1. API Design: The first step in using MuleSoft is to design the APIs that will be used to connect different systems and applications. MuleSoft provides a range of tools to help businesses design and build APIs that match their specific requirements.
2. API Management: Once the APIs have been designed, MuleSoft provides a range of tools for managing them, including monitoring, versioning, and security. This ensures that the APIs are always available and functioning properly.
3. API Gateway: The MuleSoft API Gateway acts as a traffic cop for API requests, routing them to the appropriate backend systems and applications. The API Gateway also provides security and throttling capabilities to protect against unauthorized access and excessive traffic.
4. Integration: Using the APIs and API Gateway, businesses can build integrations that connect different systems and applications. MuleSoft provides a range of connectors and templates to make it easy to integrate popular systems and applications, as well as tools for building custom integrations.
5. Data Mapping and Transformation: MuleSoft also provides tools for mapping and transforming data as it flows between different systems and applications. This ensures that data is formatted and transformed appropriately as it moves through the integration process.
Overall, MuleSoft provides a comprehensive platform for designing, building, and managing integrations that connect different systems and applications. By using an API-led approach to integration, businesses can simplify the integration process, streamline their operations, and improve efficiency.
>> The 'software dev' section is particularly off-putting. It starts off with a code-snippet that is ridiculously wrong: it defines 'typos' as any string matching this regex: '(\w+)\s+\w+'. That's right, if your text contains a word followed by whitespace followed by a word, that's a typo. The code could only appear correct to someone with no knowledge of the domain and no experience coding. The fact that this was published on "wearedevelopers.com" is a bit sad.

If you want this hype cycle to come to its inevitable end sooner rather than later, maybe it's a good idea to keep quiet about such errors.

Anyway I'm still curious to see what happens when enough of that garbage code makes it into github for the next iteration of Codex or some similar model, to be trained (or fine-tuned anyway). If we keep pointing out the errors in code generated by LLMs, we risk never finding out.
This is one of the main reasons I love Firefox’s “Multi Account Containers” extension. I can easily keep logins segregated and don’t need to worry about whether any given part of Google’s ecosystem plays nicely with their account picker.
I’m specifically referring to the lack of aesthetic details.

For instance, IFR charts (https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/flight_info/aeronav/productc...) show just essential routing information.

Here’s an example taxi diagram: https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/atpubs/aip_html...

Again the key point I’m highlighting is lack of extraneous aesthetic.

The view is even more similar to that used by ATC: https://atctower.com/what-the-atc-controller-sees-tech-in-th...

If you’ve ridden a lot in planes, you may be used to looking at VFR sectionals (https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/flight_info/aeronav/productc...). These have more aesthetic detail precisely because they’re intended for visual navigation.

> LiveView can’t handle spotty connections, I thought?

LiveView handles it just fine. If the websocket disconnects for some reason it will automatically re-establish itself when the connection is restored.

You can also use the built-in JS module to do client-side things when you don't need backend support. I use Alpine.js (PETAL stack) and I like it a lot.

If you have a very complex client-side need, it's also pretty easy to use React.js for that.

> With the advent of things like flask+html, I find it a little hard to believe that Elixir hackers could whip up a MVP faster than I’ve seen it done with flask.

You'll have to get more specific if you want an accurate answer. Does this MVP require a database? Does it require specific UI or can you just massage the OOtB UI that Phoenix gives you? You'd be surprised at how much of a headstart the generators can provide. I've built working protoypes (with database persistence) in 30 minutes. If it's purely a static page, I would just use nginx directly but you could easily do that in Phoenix as well in about the time it takes you to write the HTML since the default new project comes with a page controller already set up for that.

Germany is big, but it wouldn't be so unusual for a Dutch (or Norwegian, Swedish etc) person to phone a support helpline and find it's only in English. It's not that unusual to find staff in a small bar, restaurant or shop who don't speak the local language.

Microsoft presumably have support in Dutch, but for example Adobe don't: https://helpx.adobe.com/contact/phone.html
"Modification can lead to danger." has been an excuse used against end-user modification for as long as the concept of legal liability has existed.

It's why most things have "warranty void if removed" stickers and warnings against messing around all over the place. Once anything is intentionally moved out of spec, the manufacturer wants nothing to do with it (and rightfully so).
>Well it's possible someone tried to make me look suspicious.

You don't need to have done anything suspicious. I've been a victim of this myself. Several years ago, I had a Shares ISA [0] account, into which I invested a couple of hundred £££ every month out of my wages.

After about 5 years I was out of work and needed to cash it in. But, when I tried to withdraw the money, I got hit with an "Unexplained Wealth Order" [or somesuch term], telling me that under AML I needed to fill in some disgustingly intrusive form explaining where I'd got this sum of money from [it was only a few thousand £££, not a fortune]. And, as I said, this was from the savings company which already knew exactly where the money had come from. As they'd watched it build up in small amounts over the previous 5 years or so.

I refused to comply with their AML/KYC. It then took me at least a few months and several letters, threatening them with legal action before they finally agreed to just close my account and return my money.

I also closed my eBay account when they started asking for people to upload scans of their passports to verify their identity.

These companies can fuck right off, as far as I'm concerned. AML/KYC is disgusting and I just wish more people would make a stand and refuse to comply with it.

> Just grab trained employees is a strategy that only works because most employers are shit. You think you have an airtight mathematical argument. People aren't numbers.

If employer A pays $100k to increase the value of new employee B over a span of a couple weeks... a big proportion of the time new employee B will decide to divide the value of that $100k with employer C, no matter how nice employer A is. People very often choose to act in their own economic interest. This is especially true when they don't have a longstanding relationship with employer A.

> Exclusively using the former strategy is only a useful strategy in markets full of shitty employers.

Here, you need a pilot or two. Paying to train without any kind of security is a very risky strategy versus paying a somewhat higher price for an already trained employee.

The key issue I think is the lie that this system is intelligent in any way, it simply isn't. And if people approach it that way, that it's just statistically fabricating word text patterns from massive input word text, it will remove the dangers mentioned and enable people to know that its not expressing thoughts as people do with words, but just outputting words that may or may not have any correspondence with the truth. That OpenAI and others claim it has intelligence, when it clearly does not, will make for interesting legal liabilities going forward if people experience any harm with the system and decide to take legal action. (Also true for autonomous driving which uses the same ml/dl tech) Ml/dl can be very helpful and factual as artificial perception when the input is directly from space-time and give factual measurements as input to conceptual awareness, but perception alone does not intelligence make.
I was afraid of that. I can re-box them to look nice, but that would be yet another project...

I never used it on Windows and never missed it on Linux or Mac. And it's likely very complex to implemenent, and more the concern of the toolchain than the IDE. Anyway, LeanCreator does not support it; the focus is more on simplicity and cross-platform.

According to the first page of the letter, they have a pretty good track record.

In 58 years, they outperformed the S&P500 39 times. That is 67% of the time, which according to R comes down to a p value of 0.01:

binom.test(x=39, n=58, p=.5)
=> p-value = 0.01193

On the other hand, countless investors started out 58 years ago and 1 in 50 had a performance like this or better by pure chance. So it's hard to say to what extent the performance is an indicator of capability.
Yes. Migrations are checked into the source control. They're still the source of truth of the database changes.

Regarding read only models pointing to a tabel. It'd possible to use proxy models or even non managed models where with some mix of Managers it can provide what you're looking for.

For getting a subset of fields from a database tabel, Django provides ".only()" on the QuerySet which you can use to list all the fields explicitly and only them will be retrieved. It can even span to foreign field relations as well.

Diango ORM is indeed powerful and vrry flexible once you learn it. A novice developer can use it quickly and won't get in the way. An advanced developer can do very complex sfuff with it without touching any raw sql. Still, it's possible to write custom sql commands directly.

Crypto Exchanges Are Allowing Sanctioned Russian Banks Access, Report Says
I've noticed that my M1 MBP provides a seemingly implausible degree of stereo width (the left and right channel sound as if they are at a physically more extreme angle relative to your head than they actually are) but only if you are in the right place relative to the laptop. Also, if you play a pure R tone, you will hear it in the L speaker (wlog). This leads me to suspect they are doing some phasing tricks to increase the perception of stereo (again, assuming you're in the right place relative to the laptop).

“One possibility is that X7’s gas and dust were ejected at the moment when two stars merged,” Ciurlo said. “In this process, the merged star is hidden inside a shell of dust and gas, which might fit the description of the G objects. And the ejected gas perhaps produced X7-like objects.”

This is pretty interesting, so much ejection due to a merger that the light is no longer visible.

That doesn’t mean all or most of the people buying coffee are doing it every day— as you said, lots of coffee in the office.

I work (US) where there is similarly a selection of places to get coffee right out the door, and they are almost always busy, but most people I know are not using them every day.

A rough estimate based on the # of people working in the immediate 5 minute walking distance and rough estimate of time needed to order and crowd size— I’d estimate they sell the equivalent to one cup to between 5-10% of the population every day. A slightly smaller % of actual people since some will buy more than 1 cup.

In contrast, nearly everyone I know drinks coffee, or tea. They’ll buy a coffee when they really want to get out of the office rather than a few minutes away from their desk, or want to treat themselves to a higher end coffee than drip or weak pods.
