the U.S. government works the same way. According to one web site, there are over 4 million federal employees. When is the last time any have been laid off? What I find most disturbing is that you think this is somehow a good thing. A government takes money by force and then spends it to "take care of its own", meaning provide cushy jobs to people regardless of their productivity, output, or necessity? This is the very essence of the ever-growing and increasingly corrupt bureaucracy.

I'm reminded of a history of Nigeria I encountered recently: https://youtu.be/E2HJbi-AG54?t=603. The Nigerian government basically ran the economy. If you wanted a good job, you worked for the government. For most people, getting elected was key to living a cushy life, and once won, the office was used to spread favors and wealth to one's friends, family, and tribe, while losing office in a subsequent election meant going back to poverty because private jobs simply didn't exist. This, of course, was a recipe for widespread corruption.

From the video: "Control of the government has been desperately important not only to avoid being oppressed by rival tribes but also because the massive role of government in the economy has made politics the preeminent route to prosperity as well as power whether for individuals, tribes, or regions. As of 1964 governments at the federal, regional, and local levels employed more than half of the wage earners in the country. Government also allocated large sums to the various regions which is also to say to the various tribes. In 1961 for example the northern region containing more than half the population of Nigeria paid only nine percent of the personal income taxes while it received 45 of the money allocated to the various regions by the federal government. At the same time the western region paid 64 percent of all personal income taxes and received less than one-fourth of the funds allocated by the federal government to the various regions. In tribal terms though Yoruba were subsidizing the house of Fulani and other Northern groups."

Whatever you might think about the unfairness of being laid off, I promise you that a growing government bureaucracy is not the solution you think it is! The government is just as self-interested as any corporation, the difference being the government gets to use force to compel you to do what it wants, while at least a corporation has to ask for your business.

Yet somehow the decades long popularity of Django, it's widespread usage and presumably many successful real-world deployments doesn't make you question your own belief?
That makes sense. I guess it's all about time spent exposed to it. I do okay with geologic features (from being a backpacker and climber) except, oddly, types of rocks. But I have never been great at tree/plant identification. We did just move to a house with a decent yard/garden, so I am learning at least some of the names for things that are in the yard (and that we've started planting ourselves).
Everyone seems to forget or disregard the fact that these lawsuits are paid for by the taxi industry. Even when they dig up a few Uber drivers, it’s all a sham.

70% of surveyed rideshare drivers prefer to be independent contractors. If there was a serious majority for employment, Uber and Lyft simply wouldn’t exist.
I won't say which city but London cabs are about twice as expensive as here which will be a factor.

I only ever took one Uber in my city - it took a really bad route and cost more than a normal cab for the same destination. If it had taken a sensible route then it might have been a few percent cheaper but not much. The experience was bad enough not to gamble with it again.
Interesting! I think upstairs we would struggle but the basement slab runs cooler, I’m pretty sure it would handle this pretty fine. I’ll check it out, thanks!!
The trackpoint on Thinkpads is fantastic once you get used to it.
I heavily miss the smaller trackpads like on the 2015 era MacBook Pros. I have large hands and on the new supersized trackpads, the fleshy party of my hands under the thumbs constantly trigger random mouse movements when I'm typing.

Let's stop pretending we can reverse history, and let's use knowledge and science to adapt preventively to the changes we can foresee.
i went down the rabbit hole on control theory when getting into highpower rocketry and electronics as a hobby. I suspect many of the concepts and algorithms have been independently discovered/implemented in high performance computing. It's all about trying to see through the noise and maintain a target in a dynamic environment. It maps pretty well to something like CPU utilization or IO performance or requests/second etc.
I'm definitely swiping; no clue if the trackpad is defective since I otherwise don't use Macs.
No it can't! I have a IEEE1394 pro-grade interface AND IT IS STILL BUZZING!! Everything is shielded. I even added ferrite rings onto the data cable.

My goal wasn't to describe it thoroughly, it was to call it out as a means of disabling exhaustiveness checking. Regardless of whether that's really what the essence of '#[non_exhaustive]' actually is, it does disable exhaustiveness checking. It's right in the name. It's an important part of what it does.

Basically, we're talking past each other. I called it out for what it does, but you're pointing out why someone would want to use it. That is, "#[non_exhaustive] on enums indicates that the list of variants is incomplete, and it does this by disabling exhaustiveness checking outside of the crate in which it is defined." Although, of course, not even that is precisely correct. Because your match arms are still forced to be technically exhaustive via the compiler requiring a wildcard arm. But the end effect to the user of the enum is that exhaustiveness checking on the variants of the enum is disabled.
I’m not sure if this is sarcastic, but yeah, gun control has worked so well for the UK that what they are worrying about are the 250 or so people killed a year by knives and other sharp objects, like broken bottles.

Adjusted to the U.S. population that’s about 1500 deaths per year as opposed to around the 50,000 gun deaths the US sees in a year.

Personally, I don’t think gradient descent is the way to AGI either (I think it’s efficient algorithmic search over the space of all computable programs), but I haven’t heard anything from the symbols crowd since the early 2010s.
What made it clear for me was this :

Since there are 2 empty boxes, this means that if you pick some box out of 3, you will have 2/3 chances of picking an empty box.

However, the revealed box will always be empty, so in both of these outcomes the revealed box will be the other empty one.

So in 2/3 of cases, the pair (picked,revealed) will contain both of the empty boxes, and so switching will get you the prize

This seems dumb to me. It’s like if the Japanese had the clairvoyant ability to know that nuclear bombs were being built and used and the immediate future and said “We can ignore it until it exists)”. No. You leave Hiroshima and Nagasaki now and not when the freaking bombs are above your head.
At most culturalist.
No country other than your country of origin owes you a right to stay.

It's not inhumane or something to have visa only for work and not for indefinite residency. If the work visa was defacto a permanent residency visa, no one would give it and no one would get it.
That sounds like something you could write either way (update first, update after success, update in a gray or provisional-looking way until server success or error) in any react app, depending on your needs rather than a property of this framework.

For the many programmers asking questions like this… if your programming skills can’t compete with a supercharged auto-complete (call it “AI” if you prefer), then you won’t stay relevant or employed for long. Until SkyNet nukes us all I will continue doing what I do. None of my customers imagine replacing me or anyone else developing software with a really good chatbot.
What you need to do is get over the intuition that a transit network is supposed to be random access and point to point. Its not. Some places are more important and more likely than others. Don't fall for the trap of compulsively filling in lines until there's spaghetti everywhere and everything that could meet at the ends does. Have core structures, basic sorts of routes. Be neither radial nor mesh, but rather federated with ample chances to make transfers. Think of it as a plumbing problem. Your primary people flow is between cheap rent and good jobs. Other people flows exists, but its ok to use smaller pipes on that.
In general, controllers shine when you have complex relationships between the value that you directly control and the measure that you can about. In particular, "complex" meaning "well modeled with differential equations".

In your scenario, since the rate of database requests is probably a very simple function of number (ie, well modelled by a simple constant multiple) of application requests, you probably don't need a "full controller" to implement the throttling.
they can't set their rates.

that's a huge part of being a contractor.

And your country owes you why?
I sometimes wonder what the "right amount of time" for this would be. Surely 30 days is nowhere near enough. 60 days also feels like too little.

90 days is the typical tourist visa duration; that seems more reasonable as a minimum duration to me.

Does it need to be 180 days? 364? I just don't know, but 60 seems too low.
Gotcha. So the basic "structural" stuff is translated to JS but any non trivial logic remains on server?
I’m not surprised. Like everything else enabled by the internet, the short term gains from accessibility become long term inequality.

Remote work means employees are now competing with entire time zones rather than just the people in their locality.

It’s kind of shocking to me how quickly and fully people embraced it. Hate your 1hr commute? It’s a moat against your competition with a 2 hour commute.

You just helped me realise (as an Aussie living in Europe) that when some people are saying "air-to-air heat pump" what they mean is what an Aussie or Kiwi would call "reverse cycle air conditioner" - which are extremely common and affordable.
The heat pumps I have seen personally in Europe are geothermal, very big, and very expensive.
That's not gonna happen if they have to solve browser runtime errors. And with there being so much variance between browsers and random nonsense to hack around, how can you possibly get around that?

Besides, python and js are so similar it's really funny to see people not wanting to use one but cling to the other.

This is true for most business fads. "We love new paradigm X" is because there are cost savings, or at least were for one company.

> Basic settings [...] should not be poweruser setting/feature needing workarounds and external downloads

yes.

> windows anti malware is excelent at protection

it can only be as good as its heuristics. generally speaking: antivirus is snake oil. i think instead of wasting more and more processing on detecting malware the user downloaded, users should be taught to use their machines properly. you dont expect a child to drive a car, and yet even more complex footguns seem fair game. and a child could easily do alot of (financial) damage with a computer.

> I don't want to compile anything for my OS.

that's fair. i wrote "you could". i mostly meant the capability. the actual work could be and usually is delegated to trustworthy users. (read "trustworthy" either from your pov or of the dev of the original application, if that person already is... uh... malwaring you, all this is moot of course. (also assuming a "good" dev who checks pull requests))
There is no reawakening. Realistically, interest is slowly declining. Britain has had an extensive steam perservation scene for decades.

It's just that the technology to do relatively affordable one-off designa nd manufacturing of steam locmotive parts that were formerly made in specialist workshops has only recently been feasible. That, and a combination of running out of original locomotives to restore, and worries that eventually the original locomotives will become too difficult to keep running indefinitely, has lead to a growth in new-build projects. There are now a large number in progress.

The puzzle is is commonly stated is not how any TV show ever worked. In a real (repeated) TV show the host behavior will be non-deterministic, and will sometimes be benign, sometimes adverse, to increase the suspense and ratings. If the host follows a deterministic set of rules (as is usually implicitly assumed in the puzzle version), the optimal strategy is pretty easy to work out.
but more than 2008? My nation has gone through 15 years of deep public spending cuts as a "consequence" of 2008 and the resulting deficit (albeit it was likely just used an excuse to implement anti-public-spending political ideology).

Also I don't remember any of those events dipping into the public purse but rather being commercial liabilities.

We absolutely do fine/convict homeowners if, in a burglary, their improperly secured gun is stolen. The fines aren't for being hacked, they're for not adequately securing user data; ownership of which is a conscious decision.
No, it wasn’t insolvent until the bank run on Thursday. Very few, if any, banks can handle a $40 billion transfer off their balance sheet unexpectedly, but a bank CEO should’ve known their reckless actions could easily have triggered one, especially one with very high deposits and very few customers (as in, it doesn’t take many customers to decide to move their deposits to cause a real hurt).
>So while regulation is something we want as costumers. I think we'd prefer to not have it become a obstacle in the software sector to the point it exist elsewhere.

Alternatively looked in the metaphor, cars are dangerous things - for the passengers and civilians nearby. We as a society don't want any random vehicle to be on the road due to the risks involved. A webcam door doesn't have this type of risk associated, so it's fine to DIY and whatever. However there are still risks, like PII leaks, so these they need to be mitigated too.

> That is why I think the GDPR is great since it applies to companies with 250+ employs.

No it doesn't? It applies to any company that holds EU citizens' PII.
I have a feeling you're talking about C macros, not C++ templates.
Take a look at Zig (but it's not stable yet, may take a couple of years), linux is a first class citizen for it. It has `error!type` unions and `?type` optionals and language constructs to deal with them:

const number = try parseU64(str, 10); // returns the error
const number = parseU64(str, 10) catch 13; // default
// more complex stuff
if (parseU64(str, 10)) |number| {
doSomethingWithNumber(number);
} else |err| switch (err) {
error.Overflow => {
// handle overflow...
},
// we promise that InvalidChar won't happen (or crash in debug mode if it does)
error.InvalidChar => unreachable,
}
My Portuguese grandfather used to say: the secret to longevity is onions, tomatoes, and olive oil. He and my grandmother both lived past 90.

People in the southern Europe also like to gather and talk a lot, so I suspect that might help too (the article mentions it in the final paragraph).

So you live in a beautiful country, you eat well, you interact a lot with your friends and neighbours; you don't need much else.
The elephant in the room is that "ethics" and "diversity" and so on are not business concerns in the sense that they help make the company money. The Chief Diversity Officer is a thing if there is a market pressure for companies to have one but the goal if the company is to maximize its profit and once having an ethics team or a diversity team gets in the way of that, they'll be overturned or abandoned. It's literally virtue signalling (i.e. a performative display of virtue rather than a legitimate interest in the virtuous behavior itself).

What should be concerning is that the environment has changed in such a way companies find it more profitable to forego these signals or maybe even use that change itself as a signal (e.g. consider Coinbase making a big show of becoming "apolitical" and gaining recognition from a certain audience for that).
Hmm? In 90s and 2000s most web frameworks did not rely on JS at all, they were completely server-side. I.e. the server renders a page. User clicks a button, browser collects data from a form and sends request to the server. The server updates its state and renders a new page. There are some downsides to that approach, but it can be pretty good if you just need to get some information and/or let user browse a data collection.

Compile-to-JS approach started to appear in mid 2000s.

where do you live? for me it's local food, mostly raw vegetables, lots of fruit, olive, nuts, figs, dates, clementines, oranges, persimmons, onions, garlic, leek (fermented), rice sometimes, rarely (few times per year, raw eggs or small fishes) as I'm full with fibers. It makes a lot of sense to do that as we don't spend as much energy as our ancestors or wild animals, and the climate is getting hot and dry due to climate destruction

The only people who call it a balancing act are the ones who have never seen disruptive mental illness first hand. It's not cute, quirky or a choice. It's one step away from murder at the best of times. You're welcome to move to an insane asylum if you want to prove me wrong, you're not welcome to turn my back yard into one to make yourself feel better.

Mental illness denial is the lefts version of climate change denial.

I strongly disagree. Since 1960's we were getting better component base, better schematics, better measurements. Even analog amplifiers were evolving not only in audio quality, but also in efficiency. But I still hate the PWM (class D) amps. )
Yes I think so, but it would depend a lot on the data. If properly normalized like FFHQ you don’t even need a diffusion model.
It’s hard to see how the U.S. can indeed remove the guns.

This article is instantly discredited for me because it pretends to know the cause of the drop in violent crime in the 90s.

That being said, the data itself looks solid and given that gun control isn’t happening anytime soon, we need to look at alternative solutions.

Unfortunately, IMO, the BLM movement focused on the wrong side of the equation. Instead of focusing on the police side of the equation, the focus should have been on increasing funding for non police interventions that are known to reduce crime, often significantly.

These include funding for community policing, after school programs, youth recreation centers, basketball leagues and courts, anti gang messaging, etc.

Even on the police side, there should have been a stronger focus on better incarceration procedures which separate gang members from non gang members and prevent non violent criminals from being locked up with violent criminals and gang members, which only end up feeding the gang pipeline.
Personally, I was happy to see them ditch a proprietary charging method for something that is an industry standard.
Yep, and there was a much mre promissing science on checking Ether, and the magical qualities of gravity defying physics.

Who is to say that our current ML models are not Ether studies and utterly useless.

If we crack AGI in 10 years, maybe our current models are the fuel engine. But if they are not even close, we might be boiling water. Or perhaps be wrong all together, thats why I said your observation of us getting closer thanks to those proyects is not right, at least not yet.
