Though I use .ini, myself. I often think about changing to sqlite. It is insanely stable and provides all the goodness of a database. Since I speak SQL like a native, it would be easy for me to manage.

But, I stick with .ini still because, 1) I have a great access module that I would have to rewrite and, 2) there's always a text editor and sometimes I'd have to add a sqlite UI. Sounds like work to me.

It seems very reasonable that 47 million messages were deleted from 8,700 mail boxes by accident, but it seems like a stretch of the imagination to say this resulted in the intentional deletion of the EXACT evidence that they were being subpoenaed for, without forgetting to delete SOME of the evidence.

In the beginning there were mainframes and VT100 dumb terminals. (Well, after punched cards and switches.)

Then we got personal computers.

Then we got mainframes again with HTML5 dumb terminals, rebranded as "cloud."

Now we're starting to see renewed interest in personal computers.
Presumably they would have gone to some low-level tech and told him something to the effect of "We are looking for a new team lead, you might be a good fit. Completely unrelated: how difficult would it be for emails from the last couple years to be 'accidentally' deleted as part of routine operations".

I'm not saying that's what happened, I find the sequence of events described by JP Morgan believable. But the same process issues that allowed this to happen accidentally would allow it to happen maliciously.
CloudFlare will sometimes go to the court to actively protect their abusive customer from being exposed to legal liability. But apparently they don't do that unless you're really nasty and exposing you would mean they are actually able to provide information about their customers - that's a line they won't cross even for attempted murders.

>I wish it were easier to tell Youtube my goals for a browsing session and turn off porn mode.

I mean, this is a game of cat and mouse. YT is already very aggressive on sexual content. Content creators just find the next line and push it there.You could require everyone making videos to be wearing suits and people would still find ways to be evocative.

At some point your best move is to self moderate. Ignore those thumbnails or aggressively click "not interested" on any content like that.

>But the labeling could be done by users.

In these times? It'd be a bloodbath of political labels being thrown at various ideaologies. It'd be a wreck.

No, this can't be automated. YT would need to pay staff and set a rubric. But I'm guessing that it's not financially impacting YT as is.
> There's a lot of great stuff in this interview, but what really floored me was the question, after Miles had talked so much and so eloquently about race in America and his experiences, "Have you always been so sensitive about being a N*?" Like nothing Miles said entered the reporter's skull.

There are several points in this interview with archaic / anachronistic language that read a bit oddly to me, which is what I think is going on here.

My suspicion is that being "sensitive" has some kind of negative connotation to a modern reader than it mightn't have at the time. Note that Davis himself repeats the term and doesn't exhibit any inkling of having taken offense.

> Being sensitive and having race pride has been in my family since slave days

Try substituting other turns of phrases here to see how they feel. Like, "Have you always had such strongly held opinions about" or "have you always been so thoughtful about" or "passionate" etc. I think it's more telling about the modern reader looking back that we somehow find using "sensitive" here jarring - why should we do so?
That's why some people call it the 'anti human' movement. Because their primary metrics is 'if humans do its bad, humans are a disease on the planet'.
> But increasingly, we fixed it by normalizing hostility to men. Overemphasis on "toxic masculinity"

"Toxic masculinity" is self-criticism. We men are harming ourselves, and the article discusses this. For example, "Fathers are also more likely to sing to and soothe their toddler daughters at night when they cry." Both girls and boys have emotional needs, but we're ignoring the emotional needs of boys. We expect boys to be "manly" and "strong", to bottle up any problems and never show weakness. That's toxic masculinity. Toxic to ourselves.
I live in Lansing, NY, a few miles north of Ithaca, near Cayuga Lake. Hunting with guns is prohibited in the town. Bow hunting is allowed. We have lots of deer. There were two fawns zooming around on our lawn yesterday (with their mom watching.) I've seen as many as eight deer in the backyard at one time.

We have to be careful what we plant in the garden, and deer ticks are everywhere, but otherwise the wildlife is welcome.

They extended the bow hunting season this last year to try to keep the population down.

Parents should not have to earn money at all. They should all stay at home and take care of their children. At (pre-)school there should be no more than ten students in a class, taught by the best teachers earning the best salaries, 50/50 male/female across all subjects.

What I want to say is: for me, this is mostly an economic debate, and boys vs. girls always seems like a red herring to me.
More than that, you can do both.

Take toddlers and small kids swimming and let them do things at their own pace and then have them take professional lessons when they're old enough to really understand the benefits of swimming and why overcoming the fear of drowning is a valuable asset.

> Father that take pride in parenting will get much better results

You need both. Fathers that take pride in parenting their own kids, and the random neighbor kids, and their sister's kids, and their friend's kids when they happen to be around. And other parents that support said fathering.

A totally disinterested father cannot be replaced by a broad functional community. A functional community cannot be replaced by a highly invested father. They simply fulfil similar but differing needs.

You could say the village is made up of fathers (and mothers, etc.) who take pride in parenting.
So, what you're saying is we need to breed and introduce giant deer-eating cane toads.

2. Insights are generated by passing results to GPT-3, which clarifies the findings.

3. You can delete whatever you uploaded instantly.
Many cultures have been happily eating unrefined soy beans, tofu and tempeh for millennia. Those forms of soy are not the problem. it's the processed food soybean oil.

Saturated animal fats have their own specific problems. The science is clear on that. It's not just soy oil, it's not just animal fat, it's not just sugar, it's not just refined flours. It's all of them.

Michael Pollan's advice is still best: "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants."
> This is why mathematical libraries will have not only gamma functions but also loggamma functions.

This is super useful for combinatorial problems too, because gamma(N+1) = N!. Some examples where I've used it include:

- Erasure code durability math. The standard approximation has a N!/k! factor (see [1], equation 2.3), which gets out of hand numerically as N gets large. gamma(20) is 1.2e17, while lgamma(20) is only 39.3.

- Hash code collision math. The standard solution (see [2], for example) includes a factor of N!, which is an alarmingly big number when N is 2**128. In these cases, even the lgamma often doesn't fit into a 'double', and you need both logs and arbitrary precision to find exact solutions (better behaved approximations exist).

There are many regulations for minors that could never be applied to adults. Minors are not citizens with full rights; their activities are decided by their guardians and laws regulated minors infringe upon this lack of rights more often than not. That said, many governments and the DSM 5 do push the idea that gambling somehow invokes a lack of agency and control for the individual. In fact gambling disorder is the only medically recognized behavioral addiction (though it shouldn't be, this old wives tale is grandfathered in). It shows just how dangerous this kind of "they can't help themselves" thinking is in justifying bad laws that hurt people.

Pretending that laws aren't enforced with physical force just because it is abstracted away from your daily life and experience doesn't change that it is violence. The use of physical force is the one thing governments have a monopoly over and it is what makes them governments.

I don't watch many sitcoms these days. Someone else mention It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. If you really believe the media treats women as paragons of virtue there should be no female villains in sitcoms, right?

Velma and Clone High have women as bad as the men and female villains. Wednesday is pretty removed from it's Adams Family roots and is only occasionally a comedy, but also features at least one female villain.

The recent Beavis and Butthead made for TV movie had a subplot where a female politician is chasing Beavis and Butthead through the country and trying to murder them to cover up a scandal. That's certainly not treating women as "paragons of virtue."
I find the story or incorrect archive settings/setup to be reasonably plausible and even likely. I work in finance and misconfiguration of systems are not that uncommon. Testing and reviewing archive settings is often not very thorough.

For example, I was working on a system that handles holdings and trading information at the fund level which covers AUM that starts with a T and ends in rillions. There was an SQL injection vulnerability with schema owner access. Luckily this was an internal app, but still there are trade desk devs who could accidentally paste a drop table statement with a name collison. Anyways, I brought all this up to the principal. I was told this isn't a real big deal because they have real-time backups. I asked if they ever tested the backups... no. Do they have procedures for restoring from backups... no. They go nuts if there's a 5 minute outage, so how long would it take to restore... no idea.

Trust me ignorance is very believable, even in regulated industries.

Isn't antisemitism more of an ethnic prejudice than a religious prejudice? I don't think people are antisemitic because they disagree with some tenet of Judaism.

The problem is that when people read "x-ray" or "photo", they expect a 2D image/array of values, where each pixel represent a part of the space (or a projection of it).

As a sibling comment says, this is an spectroscopy. You regulate some level of frequency/energy with the input (x-ray) and you get only one value (current in the tunnel tip). So you get a 1D array of values that is easy to see like a function. But each point does not correspond to a part of the space, it's some abstract value connected to the whole atom.

Oversimplifying, look at the image at the bottom. When people read "x-ray" they expect something like the left panel, but their result was the right panel.

Note that spectroscopy is very useful. There are like 5 or 10 methods and each one is related to a different property of the atom/molecule. So a new one is always welcome, but it may take a while to understand all the advantages and disadvantages of his one. The problem is the whole story about x-rays. They are using x-rays, but the method and result is very different from the x-ray images people know.
Using a perspective projection works because our brains automatically understand the distortions caused by that sort of projection and account for them.

Reprojecting on-the-fly is a way around it. Yes, you're still projecting to two dimensions but it drives home the point that the area of a landmass is relative depending on what the user is looking at. Something like: https://observablehq.com/d/539403a9237e737d

Franco-belgian comics are popular everywhere except for the English-speaking world. It wasn't rare for a comic to be translated to a dozen languages, and English wasn't one of them.

The really big ones (Asterix, the Smurfs, Tintin) of course exist in English, but they're not all that popular, especially in the US. Niche US comic book publishers like Fantasy Flight periodically try to market some of the less-known but good looking F-B comics, but they rarely have the commercial success to have a whole series translated.

Franquin once made a joke about it, in one of the Marsupilami books there's a parodically evil American assassin who claims one if his victims was a Mr. Gagman who made the mistake of trying to introduce French comics to the US market.

I think that to many Americans, Franco-Belgian comics code as "children's comics" due to the drawing style. But most of them are directed at teens or older, just like US superhero comics.
