Well... There is an argument for those based solely in the volume of loan words from French though right?

Not saying it's wrong to not deride someone for using the proper spelling but the existence of the French forms shouldn't inherently require forms from languages without significant influence on English.
"lunzi" and "huidu" are both nice concise terms, would be nice to have an terse english equivalent. I am curious if knowing this sort of term is actually helpful for the average engineer working at an org like bytedance, or if things are siloed to the point that the eng orgs are basically separate with limited Chinese-English collaboration outside of certain management teams.

There's an old joke about if you write code as cleverly as you are able, then you won't be clever enough to debug and maintain it.

I sometimes code out "in long' if I feel it is necessary. That is, I deliberately add extra lines to 'show my working'. As in, perhaps:

variable = foo( bar( baz( stuff )));

might possibly be laid out as

bazzed = baz ( stuff ); /* comment one */
barred = bar ( bazzed ); /*comment two */
variable = foo ( barred ); /*comment three */

to show how and why a particular result is generated, if I feel the original code is too abstruse to see quickly why it is so.

Yes, there is a (usually) negligible time cost in the running of the program that might even be fixed by an optimising compiler. But I will save a lot more time than that for myself and any other programmer in the future when maintenance time comes around.

The video is a bit heavy leaning on demonizing a suggest political rivalry (I don't live in Netherlands so who knows how accurate their description of the political opposition are).

The concept however about removing busy roads going through the middle of cities seems like a good idea. A big benefit the video do not go through is that it removes the small center area as the big center of commerce, and move that to the edges around the ring roads. That allows for a lot of new construction as the city grows. When there is less things to do in the center of the city, traffic will continue to drop down and the center mostly becomes a place of apartments and offices.

It reminds me a bit of how harbors where I live has slowly been moving away from cities, with past harbors being replaced with expensive apartments and offices. When cities grows the benefits of having heavy industry in the center of the city becomes smaller and everyone mostly benefit from it being moved where land is cheaper.
i find it hard to accept that the origin of the phrase has nothing to do with the fact that 月 (tsuki, moon) sounds similar to 好き (suki, like/love). can any native speakers chime in?

Markdown (or other markup languages, lightweight or otherwise) in general specify semantic document structure.

That said, the definition list is intended to be something of a header/content block, as defined by the W3C.
> "I need to see a cardiologist, but there's a long waiting list. Fortunately, my dad is a cardiologist so he saw me immediately."

> Few people would think that this action should be illegal.

> Compared with:

> "I need to see a cardiologist, but there's a long waiting list. Fortunately, I'm White, so he saw me immediately."

> (notice how it's still distasteful even if we replace White with Black, Asian, or whatever).

> So there's real reasons why we would allow a private institution to have legacy admissions but not race-based admissions (and...come on. Only in the USA would that sentence be controversial!).

The relationship between a cardiologist and their child is fundamentally different than that between an educational institution, their alumnus, and the alumnus's child.

The former is a nuclear familial relationship and the treatment is comparable to feeding one's own child.

The latter is an institutional relationship that gives preferred access to a rarified privilege (attending an Ivy league university), not a basic need like medical treatment.

Therefore you can't use the example of the parent/child doctor/patient relationship to justify legacy admissions.

They have "college attended" for each parent on the first page of the PDF application form.

Heres the thing about the ToC and licenses:

Bots aren't people and can't read nor consent. They just consume.

Any page which can be served without first displaying a ToC or other terms which explicitly prohibit access is not protected by a ToC or other license from scraping, as they can be considered a Point of First Contact in each case, as the bot has selected each link from a simple aggregation of all links it encounters (each interaction being "new" in essence).

Now it could be argued that ignoring robots.txt is an explicit contravention of norms and standards which could be viewed as a violation of an implicit licence, but there is no law requiring adherence to robots.txt and thus no mandate that a program even look for it iiuc.
Yes, ChatGPT can't do all the work for you. You have to know how to test the code thoroughly and think of edge cases and performance tradeoffs and all those other subtleties.

But contrast this with other types of information. If I ask ChatGPT "how hot is the surface of the sun?" and it answers "15 million degrees Fahrenheit", I have zero ability to verify that information. As a result, I don't find ChatGPT useful for most informational searches, except the ones related to coding.

(The example answer is wrong according to https://www.space.com/17137-how-hot-is-the-sun.html, albeit in a way that I could see potentially confusing an LLM.)
A shorter path to market might be to grow replacements in a sacrificial host using harvested stem cells from the recipient. Transplanting into the socket once sufficiently developed, with some of the magic sauce topically applied at the interface to promote it all taking root and growing into its new home...

It sounded like they were doing experiments with transplants as well in one of the papers I skimmed.

I might actually prefer that approach if it had a high success rate, to replace a thoroughly trashed tooth. Seems preferable to exposing oneself to the new treatment for the entire duration of tooth development. Especially if all you need is one replacement...
Unless you are referring to another term, "add oil" (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/加油) is just a term of encouragement, derived from the verb to refuel a car. I don't think it really has a connotation of respect.

IP lawyer here (NOT your lawyer). A polite, friendly cease-and-desist letter might well do the trick — if it really is the First National Bank of Pittsburgh PA that's using the name.

And a funny C&D letter can help get your app some exposure, as evidenced by some examples from recent years. [0]

In that vein, maybe you could come up with some kind of publicity stunt, the way a small aviation services company did in the early 1990s when Southwest Airlines started using the slogan "Just Plane Smart," pretty close to the small company's slogan "Plane Smart." The two CEOs — one a late-30s weight-lifter, the other the aging, hard-drinking smoker Herb Kelleher — arm-wrestled for the right to use the slogan, in a big, staged event for charity. The weight-lifter won, but gave Southwest the right to use the name anyway in exchange for a donation to charity — and the small company reportedly got a significant bump in revenue from the publicity (and probably from aviation-industry approval of the clever way they'd handled the matter instead of running to the courthouse). [1]

Finally, you might consider offering to sell FNB the name and changing your app's name — years ago I had a client that provided very-high-dollar specialty software in a niche industry; the client sold its name to a British multinational conglomerate that approached the client out of the blue because their chairman really wanted the name.

BTW, common-law trademark rights can be just as enforceable in the end, even though a federal registration provides significant procedural advantages.

(Disclosure: In addition to not being your lawyer, I haven't practiced trademark law in many years.)

Not just attestation, also location services are usually via play services and also notifications (because noone wants to implement their own). I agree about the banks... if you root the phone after the banking app works, you can still extract all the keys, and usually with a magisk plugin or two, you can use the app too on a rooted phone... but not without google play services.

Maybe we need some more economic conflicts, for huawei and xiaomi to switch to their own "play services", and the developers will have to code apps that work on all android variants, not just google-based ones.
I didn’t claim it was an unaffordable expense.

I claimed that treating it as an opt-in extra, for additional charge — instead of the baseline standard of care — results in a lot fewer people receiving it, and thus, a lot more people with subpar dental function and appearance.

In other words, to save money, the NHS provides a lower standard of care as its baseline. Hence the popular idea that British dentistry is subpar.
Many people do not have a background strong enough to analyze papers. Most. Even many of us, depending on the topic, not either.

People are more driven by belief than anything else. I try not to as much as possible, but I humbly believe I am at least able to detect one thing: when things do not match each other and there are cracks and contradictions.

However, many people do not care to get informed beyond a basic article without any research (not even a paper) and will still fiercely support their positions. That is why I think people have more of belief and emotion than rationality when it is about highly politicized topics.

I'm sure there's an argument to be made about SEO fluff dominating Google, but this article picked a bad example to prove their point.

The author searched for: "python iterate over dict".

The number 1 result was an article called: "How to Iterate Through a Dictionary in Python". The article doesn't have obnoxious ads, has a clear table of contents at the top so you can jump to specific sections if you don't need the full context, and is written in a way that novices can learn the topic while still providing all the technical details that an advanced user would need.

Also, I'm not sure what resolution screen the author is using (1280x768?), but on my 1080p screen I can see the top of the table of contents so could jump straight to any of the methods to iterate through a dictionary.

In my opinion, this is an example of Google providing a great result.

Why are we debating the definition of oppression? You have an opinion about porn and you want to to have strict control over other people. That is a textbook definition of oppression.

Cigarettes and alcohol are known to cause harm, opposed to porn where the discourse is almost 100% opinionated. They are also not regulated to the extent you’re advocating for.

In terms of hard drugs, I don’t know what drugs exactly but I’m in favour of legalising drugs. The illegality of drugs causes more societal harm than legal use. Hence the current worldwide shift to legalisation.

If porn does cause harm (debatable), we need education. Regulating and monitoring people who like sex, treating them like criminals, makes no sense as we are, by nature, sexual beings.
>I have definitely observed people convince themselves online that CoPilot or ChatGPT even is helping them "improve their productivity" or some such. It is obvious that they are fooling themselves, badly. If you push them, they immediately say "oh yeah, it makes mistakes, but I can correct them" etc. So they just feel like it's useful, even when it's just making them do more work.

That mistakes can be made doesn't mean time isn't being saved. Everybody makes mistakes as is and first try code isn't typically being pushed human or not. The presence of mistakes means nothing.

Frankly, you're the one who comes off delusional here. "Most people are telling me one thing but they can't be right because i believe so so they must be lying to themselves" isn't normal behavior, especially when your biggest argument that they must all be wrong and you right is that the machine makes mistakes. That's very weak.

Take a step back and really look at what you're saying.

The problem is kubelet likes to spike in memory / CPU / network usage. It's not a well-behaved program to put alongside a database. It's not written with an eye for resource utilization.

Also, it brings nothing of value to the table, but requires a lot of dance around it to keep it going. I.e. if you are a decent DBA, you don't have a problem setting up a node to run your database of choice, you would be probably opposed to using pre-packaged Docker images anyways.

Also, Kubernetes sucks at managing storage... basically, it doesn't offer anything that'd be useful to a DBA. Things that might be useful come as CSI... and, obviously, it's better / easier to not use a CSI, but to interface directly with the storage you want instead.

That's not to say that storage products don't offer these CSI... so, a legitimate question would be why would anyone do that? -- and the answer is -- not because it's useful, but because a lot of people think they need / want it. Instead of fighting stupidity, why not make an extra buck?

As someone else who has some serious GERD, no, you don’t really notice. It’s like boiling a frog (unless you get an acute version). You just suddenly realize: hey, I seem to be having heartburn all the time, I don’t remember it being like this… maybe I should go to the doc? And then you’re fine for a few days and put it off.

Perhaps you and others are/were. But I didn't. In fact, I never voiced an opinion about Affirmative Action at all.

Rather, I pointed out that ignoring history is a bad idea.

Feel free to disagree with that assertion, but I didn't discuss AA, nor was my reply related to the recent SCOTUS decision.

Are you suggesting that I keep my big mouth shut if, in your estimation, I'm not sufficiently "on topic?" Not saying that's what you're implying, but it's definitely something that could be inferred -- and I did.

> The real cause of inequality is privileged parents trying to tilt the scales for their kids and their social class.

I really don’t think this is true in a meaningful way. Despite your appeal to cannibalism (of all things), it certainly is natural for people to want to help their family and friends. Without that instinct, we have neither.

Whatever the solution to inequality, it will need to take into account that people like helping people they like. This is why social programs like free healthcare and education are so important - we need to neutralise the benefit of “tilting the scales”, rather than asking people to change perfectly reasonable behaviour.
> There's nothing special about kernel programmers.

Yes, that was a shorthand generalization for "people who've studied computer architecture" - which most application developers never have.

> no DBA worth their salt would put database in the environment where it has to share resources with applications.

Most applications today are running on smartphones/mobile devices. That means they're running with local embedded databases - it's all about "edge computing". There's far more DBs in use in the world than there are DBAs managing them.

> mmap shouldn't be used for storage applications for other reasons. mmap doesn't allow their users to precisely control the persistence aspect... which is kind of the central point of databases. So, it's a mostly worthless tool in that context. Maybe fine for some throw-away work, but definitely not for storing users' data or database's own data.

Well, you're half right. That's why by default LMDB uses a read-only mmap and uses regular (p)write syscalls for writes. But the central point of databases is to be able to persist data such that it can be retrieved again in the future, efficiently. And that's where the read characteristics of using mmap are superior.

And, it's not about the cost of living, but about the people who are used to low wages. I've seen very experienced and capable engineers living in such places (e.g. Italy) where they are just used to live in relative poverty (compared to US devs).

They're painful because nobody is willing to argue the "business justification" for cleaning up tech debt, so your management asks you to hack away at the next feature instead. We've inherited a mess that slows us down in ways we can't produce metrics for, so we can't explain with pretty graphs how much more effective we would be if we cleaned up our config and tooling.

Indeed. My circadian rhythm is set later than some of my colleagues, so if I'm working on something between 2200 and 2400, I set emails to be sent at ~0700 - 0800, when I know they'll be starting work.

I get no sort of he's-a-hard-worker credit for working late, but plenty of up-and-at-'em plaudits when they receive an email at what they think of as the "correct" time of day. Meanwhile, I'm asleep, and catch their first round of replies when I wake up. It's somewhat ridiculous, but not a big deal.
