As a rule of thumb, I find that the quality of a language’s LSP server is strongly indicative of how suitable that language is for a serious software project.

If you’re curious about what that means for Haskell, try opening a Haskell project, starting LSP, and hovering a few variables while watching the HLS process’s memory usage.
Exactly my point about Ukraine. I don’t understand the moral indignation with the attack. Just like you are saying. Russia is big enough to get away with it and so does it. Agree?

Keir Starmer's techno-fix for the NHS: Déjà vu disaster or brave new blunder?
Yes, and one of the standards is (unsurprisingly) not using misleading terminology such as "milk" for non-milk products. Just label it as "white oat drink" and you are fine...
East eu countries are essentially colonies. What started as european solidarity turned into exploitation and domination. Africa should learn from that and develop on its own. I personally think that it can and will reach an exponential growth stage soon, but it should absolutely stay away from eu “funding” and “solidarity”.
If there's a lesson to be learned, it's that everyone needs to appreciate that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

I have little faith in efforts to criminal justice reform, because just about everyone, regardless of party, has a crime for which the mere allegation is enough to justify throwing the book at the alleged perpetrator. This seems just as true with government abuses (at least in the social media era -- no idea what the real median is) -- but the far left seems more than happy to allow the government to abuse the rights of the far right, and vice versa. The degree varies depending on what suspected wrongdoing has occurred, but the point of rights is that if they don't apply in the worst cases (e.g., hate speech "exemptions") then they don't really exist, so nobody should be surprised when the government does a poor job of protecting them.
Most folks talking about the issue only care about it in as much as it provides them with an opportunity to bash trans athletes.

It’s a complex topic and you’d do well to talk to folks who are actually affected by it.

I competed in the Southern Athletics league last summer and train with my local athletics club, I’m yet to even see a single trans athlete take part, let alone compete.

Only your scrum team really has to be in the same timezone. I've worked with people on different teams in Europe. You just talk with them in the morning and sometimes wait a day for a response. I usually have more than one ticket going so that's not the end of the world.
The super wealthy will just leave Europe. And even if you took all their money, the math does not work - the taxes need to come from other sources. Or government spending cuts.

Specifically in this context -- 9/11 and perceived ongoing threats from international terror.

A shocking and terrible event happens, a report identifies that intelligence agencies collectively had all the pieces to prevent it but were unable to see the entire picture due to compartmentalization, and the country decreases that compartmentalization.

Cause, reflection, and effect.

After that, it's been the intertia of "hidden privacy erosion" vs "visible perception of safety." (Yes, actual safety has poor statistical support)

But democracies generally discount hidden evils and multiply visible goods when voting.

For one virtually nobody has any interest in colonialism, not just from a moral but even from a self-interested standpoint. Colonialism is a huge drain. One of the major reasons for France to unwind its colonial presence in the first place was to reduce political, military and economic burdens that came with maintaining an empire.

The negative consequences are arguably visible in Britain which stayed in empire mode quite a bit longer than its peers and lost a lot of global industrial competitiveness as a result.

sure, i understand that. but it suggests that OneDrive may be convenient but ends up being expensive for lots of data. i have a root server, which means more work to set up, but i get 10TB traffic per month included in the hosting price. i am more likely to get in trouble with my local ISP if i download more than 1TB than with my hosting provider.

anyways, we obviously both agree that having a local copy is a good idea either way, and i appreciate your additional examples of the problems that one can run into with a remote only backup

Apple closes in on a $3T stock market valuation
The problem is that scale is completely smooth. IF there were some strict scale at which each theory applies, as I said, you'd then have problems for phenomena that straddle that scope. You can always add an extra electron or atom to a clump, so you'd have objects oscillating between obeying one set of equations vs the other, which seems very very very hard to actually believe.

A similar problem actually exists in psychology vs sociology, though it seems you choose to ignore it. When you want to study the behavior of two human beings (say, a married childless couple), do you apply sociology or psychology? How about a married couple with children? An extended family?

Also, psychology has to explain how an individual human behaves inside of a population, and sociology has to explain how the behavior of groups emerges out of the individual psychologies of their constituents. If they don't do this, then either one or both theories must be wrong. To take an extreme silly example, if psychology predicted that no person would never choose to kill themselves for the sake of another; but sociology predicted groups of people regularly have members sacrificing themselves for the group - then one of the theories must be wrong, you can't just say "we apply one theory when talking to a man and another when talking about the group".

Well then catch the opportunity by the balls and start offering incels AI girlfriends written in a such a way to deradicalize them and emulate real interaction with a woman. They will subsequently get less aggressive more socialized and will also pay for it. Win-win situation.

I would call it Top W University.
Reminds me of a postdoc back at uni (Axel Tidemann) who was working on an AI-drummer. I'm not a musician, but he explained to me it was easy to make a drum-program play a beat perfectly. But it wouldn't sound good. It would have no feel, no personality, no "signature style". Making it play imperfectly, but in a believable way, was the challenge. (I think it even simulated the way a drummer moves, aka not just using a pre-recorded sample of someone hitting a drum)

Same here, if you were to play the notes based on the scores, it wouldn't feel like the Metallica song, even though you played it "correct".

Here in Florida, I've seen larger alligators trying to climb and scale things, and I'd say it becomes pretty unlikely way before they're at a size to be a threat to an adult human.

They also need a pretty generous ramp, so the idea of one climbing up an oak tree after you is likely impossible.

The linked image shows a gator in a felled branch, which happens frequently in rivers and marshes when they're sunning. That's not the kind of "tree" you'd use to, say, escape from an alligator.

It's the dark budgets. And yes all spy agencies need them. But the main issue --to me-- is that the US govt works for big biz, not for its voters.

Voting is basically a facade at this point. There is no democracy, we should stop repeating that it is and demand our schools stop repeating as well. We live in a somewhat-free dictatorship/plutocracy. Somewhat free means that you can use freedom of speech to criticize the govt a little bit, but not too much (or you get Assanged/Snowdenized).
But day to day driving is far inside the boundaries of any range issues. Swappable would inevitably imply something that's essentially a switch to rented, because battery wear cannot be ignored.

The best way would be some rentable range extender battery (one-way, so that you can swap them like horses). With that available, affordable short range cars would suddenly become an attractive reality.

I guess the most universal interface for this would be some kind of trailer. Or perhaps even some semi-autonomous companion battery that follows in the slipstream under it's own power but on a non-tensioned reverse umbilical? Just brainstorming about ways in which modern technology could help making the add-on battery painless.
I don't think this community agrees with you that web scraping is inherently unethical.

In fact I think many (most?) in this community would argue that web scraping is an almost fundamental feature of the web itself, and that attempts at preventing it are more unethical than scraping.
If Windows 3.11 required a 32-bit processor, why was it called 16-bit? (2010)
Of course RAID 5 and 6 are erasure coding. They use a code (e.g. XOR/parity) to tolerate the behavior of a binary erasure channel (BEC). Systematic codes (where some of the code stripes are just identity chunks of the data), like RAID 5 and 6, are probably the most common case of erasure codes.

Now, we could have an argument about whether RAID 1 is an erasure code, but that wouldn't teach us much.
Misleading packaging has forbidden for ages. Didn't really work out since companies will always try to game the system, binding up resources in endless court battles around the definition of "misleading" and "what font size is legally conspicuous enough yet will still be overlooked by the customer". Therefore the next step was to make very clear and very simple rules around "what is misleading?". One of them is something like "milk is the secretion from the udder of mamalians, nothing else".

At least 2 people tested every recipe in her books.

This is all true, and yet ignores the price of production and transportation. Once the various Power Of Siberia pipelines are all complete, China may be getting gas cheaper than any price Europe can get.

As for Russia viewing China with suspicion... that's true of the West too, and yet it has been piping gas and oil to Germany since the 1960s.

Over what time frame? Food in United clubs has improved immeasurably post-pandemic since I started flying with them in 2017. Still nothing like Virgin Atlantic quality though.
well evidently the potential customer above, deterministic though can mean multiple things - for example if you are scraping the major headline on a page based on a selector and the class is .headline, when .headline goes away and the content becomes
<div class="t1110 C373">My cool fashions!</div>

well someone can say that the crawler should get the new version of the title, but others can say it should warn you that the selector no longer works.

If the crawler determines via AI what the headline is and you have crawled 10000 pages and it turns out the crawler has made a mistake regarding the headline then you might be soured on the idea of AI making this kind of decision for you and be more amenable to being warned, but then you have to do a lot more work with your crawler than you might otherwise want to do.
We have only scratched the surface with AI alignment. In particular, emotional alignment will likely have a big impact on our lives, maybe to the point of population collapse.

We are already seeing population decline and an “inverted pyramid” for developing countries.

> what will happen is that your software

Not your software, a competitor's software. The intent here was to inject bugs to make DRDOS look bad. And it worked.

Later Microsoft would have to spend many long years dealing with how many extension points they'd put in Windows which were opportunities for third parties to inject crashes accidentally into Microsoft executables. That's why there's an entire subsystem to allow video drivers to crash and restart.

I actually found it the opposite. The more I intelligently laid out alternative transport the more that it got used, lessening traffic. But yes, the default mode is to just optimize traffic everywhere.
Sir, I thank you for your honesty. People hate it here if I even mention that term but you openly admit your acceptance of it.

See, the reality is, the strong will always desire to rule over the weak. The colonized should not have relied on the good conscious and will of the colonizers to begin with. They should have become strong enough to resist neo-colonialism, they only have their own weakness to blame.

What truly revolts me is when neo-colonialism is packaged as democracy, human rights, etc... instead of just like what you did, openly admitting that is your goal and the people who will be colonized will benefit from it, so that is your moral justification.
Not at market energy prices, that's for sure. One possible exception would be if you coupled the desalination system to a solar farm and you only ran it at midday when generation exceeded demand. If you're getting the electricity "for free", it would change the calculation substantially.
Yeah, it is a very sad state of affairs when a genuine effort is considered suspect. The thing is, so few students put in the effort and many of those who you do talk to are upfront about expecting a certain grade. It very much taints the expectations on both sides of the fence.
> Although they says the implementation is still simple so it suffers from "write hole".

That's what I was hoping Kent would show up and expand on. His March 29 update[0] says that erasure coding "has seen a lot of progress" which makes me hopeful.

One can get a glimpse of the ever present One and its generations in modular mathematics. If we discard the insistence on numbers being simply a monotonically generated sequence (|, ||, |||, ..) which simply corresponds to counting, and instead assume a cyclical reality to Number, with the sequence of reduced residue sets of primorials illustrating the Generations of One, which is eternally present in each generation. Each is a 'measuring system', and measure engenders form. Reality is harmonic and knowing 'the beginning' is knowing 'the end'. (∅ +/- n)*

∅
2: 1 ∅
6: 1 - 3 - 5 ∅
30: 1 - - - - - 7 - - - 11 - 13 - - - 17 - 19 - - - 23 - - - - - 29 ∅
210: 1 ... 209 ∅

That view btw also gives us insight into various numerical structures, e.g. twin primes, involving prime numbers.

"Number rules the universe. Number is the ruler of forms and ideas, and the cause of gods and demons. Every man has been made by God in order to acquire knowledge and contemplate." -- attributed to Pythagoras

> nut job conspiracy theories

Many conspiracies have turned out to be real. The Gulf of Tonkin incident (how the US tricked everyone in believing North Vietnam attacked them) being an obvious example. That puts the whole "conspiracy theory come from bad civilians" and "misinformation comes from bad civilians" narrative in a psy-op kind of day light. I see most problematic mis-info being peddled by govts, NGOs (WEF, NATO) and the(ir) MSM. The BS they crank out in the context of the Ukraine destabilization by the US+NATO is, quite literally, unbelievable.
I think that another example of Metallica doing "whatever" with the timing is just in the previous song in the album, Battery. If you try to follow the beat, it mostly follows a 4/4 but sometimes they just cut it short. I feel it's more accentuated in Battery, because it's a little bit more random and contributes to the rushed feeling of the song.

As a person practicing Buddhism of a particular school since 18 years, I feel the need to add 2 cents here:

As reading books on Buddhism is for sure beneficial, there is no way to really enter the methods just by using books; one becomes a buddhist by meeting a teacher and following his instructions. At that step books are immensely helpful. Especially if they are the books specialized on particular lineage of methods and teachings.

On the other hand, by reading books alone, like: for years, one can rather become a buddhologist, not a buddhist. That's the statistics, although everything is an illusion, so everything is possible ;)
My feel (heh) is that’s how most of metal and rock was made, garage-style with a 4 track tape recorder.
Only if the application has code to change that byte. “It could be changed by a patch” doesn’t count as a condition under which it could be executed, because a patch can make any change it wants to. You wouldn’t say “there’s a condition under which Windows will wipe your hard drive and every visible network share” just because someone can write code to do that.
