Could you clarify what you consider as the thing we replaced the old tradition with? And what are its drawbacks?

I personally find it very liberating to not worry about someone else's concept of God or how the position of planets affect my future or how God judges everything I do. Religion and tradition has all the baggage that you associate with astrology loons and other conspiracy theorists.

Do you mean consumerism? If so, that isn't the result of replacing theocracy with scientific beliefs. Consumerism is the result of a highly imbalanced political belief. And it prioritizes momentary pleasures over long-term well being. It should have been possible to have a balanced and mostly self-sufficient life with a scientific world view. Unfortunately, we ended up prioritizing profits over happiness.

> It's also misleading to describe them as having been sacked

Officially they were fired without cause.

It’s important to compare how Google handled the employment of their Ethics team with that of Anthony Levandowski, who was allowed to instigate an accident on the freeway on the job, left with a over-$100m bonus, and has thus far thwarted jail time and most of Google’s attempts to recoup what they paid him. Levandowski had lots of approval directly from Larry Page, and Page was aware of the risks. In contrast, Jeff Dean never respected the Ethics team in a similar capacity.
It's exactly this attitude of desperately wanting to believe the police that ensures minimal accountability so it continues. I want to as well but is it really possible as soon as you start looking a bit harder at the situation?

J. Edgar Hoover is still venerated by having his name on the HQ building in Washington. There's no doubt left about exactly what he was.
Yeah, in the end ask about your star sign is as consequential as asking which team is your favourite.

It can be a fun conversation starter, but if you make your life out of that, then it gets ridiculous
Yes you may well be right, that's kind of what I'm wondering (not using either Kafka or NATS today). Correct me if I'm wrong, but Kafka itself doesn't do joins either, right? I would need something like Flink's Window Join?

So how exactly does the higher mass of EV's and lower centre of gravity change the centrifugal and momentum force?

I think Pirelli and Michelin will like to know this one as will half of the experts in physics!

In racing, there is something called Marbles. Now this is debris, typically rolled chucks of rubber thats peeled off tyres on a race track, but on the open road, this will typically be aggregate, chunks of stone that has been released from the road surface.

You find this on the edges of roads or on the outer edge of roundabouts.

These are an absolute nightmare to drive on, but if you have a lightweight car you can drive on these parts of the roundabout fast enough to undertake people who cut across to the inner lane of the roundabout, even in the wet.

I would not dare attempt that in an EV, the car would just just slide off the road. I dont care for the lower center of gravity that much, in fact if its too low it starts to affect the suspension and handling, where the suspension hits the bump stops.

Front wheel drive diesels have this problem over the front axle, where their suspension bottoms out on the bump stops.
Oh I cant wait for them to try this on in Australia, The ACCC will rake them over the coals.
The issue they always raise is that encryption that is properly implemented (along with the relevant devices that are encrypted properly) is effectively unbreakable and equals a "get out of jail free" card to the extent that it invalidates the second half of the statement (without a warrant approved by a judge) which grants lawful justification for invalidating that right/protection.

I think this is a part of what's driving the adoption of passkeys (which seem to only require biometrics) because the biometrics part invaliates the entire protection (producing your fingerprint or face is not protected, only speech/testimonial). They eliminate phishing (unlawful theats) and facillitate bypassing encryption (lawful threats), no matter how strong.
Could those consumers just go for pasteurized milk and let others have the choice they want?
> so if the owner wants a generator, it's probably a choice between having a generator charger vs no charger.

Possibly. But I would expect this to be a very uncommon scenario. Unless you’re running a car race* for instance you’d have to have a situation where somebody would both be willing to pay 2x or more per kWh and also prefer to not charge their car at all if they couldn’t do it in 5-15 minutes.

Alphabet is the parent Company and Google is still one of the companies.

In the case of Meta, there is only Meta which has several products like Facebook, Instagram, Threads...

For Twitter, there is a parent Company X Holdings, and Twitter the product will be renamed X, as well as the company, part of X Holdings.
A lot of artificial reefs had been tried before ranging from old train wagons to piles of concrete blocks or tied tires. Is been done on purpose since 70's at least.

They are super effective, but don't last. Either end buried in the sand, are displaced by the currents (creating a danger for ships) or disintegrate after a few years. To have a Titanic you need absence of changes and coastal areas are very dynamic, with all those tidal forces, storms and coastal currents

On the other hand, sand ecosystems are fragile and valuable also in its own way. Wouldn't have any sense to replace al soft bottoms by hard bottoms just because.

So it works, for a while, but is expensive, can block shrimp fisheries, and the trend is not so hot as it was.
New Apple Patent: EEG AirPods
Which is getting back to the religious crap of "sex is only for reproduction, between a married couple". Yes sex can result in reproduction, but I think making that its primary purpose misses the point. We experience a desire to fuck, separate from our desire to reproduce. They're two different things that are only related in a tiny minority of circumstances. Classifying someone's sexuality by its possible reproductive outcome is like classifying their tongues by the ability to curl into a tube: kinda valid, but not that useful.
I recent saw a statistic that showed that a large percentage of violence happens while people are drunk. Should we ban alcohol again as well?
My roommate was only guilty of a misdemeanor afaik. At least two of the felony counts he was provably (to me) innocent of, as I knew he wasn’t where they claimed he was, but someone with more reputation than The Defendant’s College Roommate was willing to perjure themself, and it was their word against mine. Ironically the things he definitely wasn’t guilty of were the only parts of the plea deal. He pled guilty to things he didn’t do, just to put a max threshold on how bad the nightmare could get.

The other case was during the TLA infiltration of senior Tor leadership 5-ish years ago. It was very clearly driven by spy agency needs and I don’t feel comfortable sharing details online.

[Aside: you should consider Tor compromised. Use it as a VPN if you want, but don’t entrust your own safety or the safety of others to it.]

If you want to cover this particularly case, strict-boolean-expressions in tslint should catch it.

That being said, I agree it's an unfortunate footgun and think tsc should yell at you for using non-boolean types in conditionals if strict is on.

My parents joined in 1998 after my school district started to threaten legal action against family friends, and we knew we were next.

It worked, and the school backed off. Might be a good idea for anyone thinking of teaching their kids at home, especially if they're going to be pulled from public schools like I was. Busybodies and troubled administrators are a real mess and aren't always rational, which can be very bad and expensive for parents.
Videos are useful when they're 3blue1brown style taking advantage of the format. They're a waste of bandwidth when they read from a script with some footage/stock photography in the background.
With me the issue is that being blind means that I listen to most words and the spelling is something which I don't always focus on unless necessary. Hence, two homophones are likely to be confused if not written often enough.
> The thought of sending someone to update a BIOS in a colo facility is just... frightening.

That's not something you do. BMC can update itself and system BIOS out of band for quite some time. Also, if the BIOS update fails, it generally rolls-back itself.

Last but not least, BMC is a completely independent "computer", so system BIOS is foreign to it, so faiing to update the BIOS doesn't brick the box.

Implications of this "independent computer" is subject to another comment, tho.
it also fits the smug atheist stereotype that you seem to believe you’re above it all

What's the point if this mysticism doesn't make "better" people than any random superstition or religion? I fear it's more dangerous than most basic superstitions.

I mean, these "self-introspection, consciousness-obsessed cultures like Hindu and Buddhism" are a source of hatred and violence. The Hindu majority is India is on this brutal trend. And in Burma-Birmania-Myanmar, the Buddhist population was almost unanimous in supporting the discrimination against muslims and the ethnic cleansing of Rohingya. People feel they belong to a religion and that those who do not are unenlightened strangers. The phenomena is well known and studied: religion leads to intolerance.

Astrology is stupid, but at least it does not create that feeling of community, so it won't spread intolerance and xenophobia.
The “exercise for the reader” in this case is the entire point of the metric. If it were possible to do at scale it could be incorporated into existing models right now.

Second, it isn’t even necessarily better to have fewer lies if those few lies are more subtle. Plenty of propaganda works by twisting facts and using misleading statements. Perhaps the worst offenders won’t even have any outright falsehoods at all.
There was an interesting use case for the early zero language code. It allowed the checksum to remain intact when switching from early SBN to ISBN, all you had to do was prefix with zero. It isn't quite so simple today, if you find an old British book you can't simply tack a zero on the front.

It is mentioned in the Wikipedia link, but buried a little. I realise ISBN history is the epitome of super-nerdy, but the evolution path from $just_some_retailer through to the Bookland "country" is really quite interesting from an interoperability perspective.
If all your sample came from the same country (and to a lesser extent, hemisphere), what you're really measuring with "star sign" is "age upon entry into the school system".
> "Confabulation"

And why would that be? "Hallucination" means "erratic wandering", implying one is lost - similarly to "delirium" (maetaphor using the plough) and "error". Part of the idea is that of "instead of witnessing the correct, reporting the false" - a very ancient, traditional idea, and akin to the concept of "intelligence" (intus-legere).

"Confabulation" means locutor and interlocutor are talking, exchanging narrations.
Go generics are far from perfect, and while they finally sort out a major paint point, they still leave some room for improvements.

I think the fact that it's impossible to know what could be in a dictionary without explicitly checking makes dicts an awful solution. A lot of times I'll encounter functions that take maps, but I'll have to reverse engineer the surrounding code (and if I'm particularly unlucky, a related service) to figure out what goes in there. I'll take explicit types over dicts any day.

Sort of.

Eventually the lady lost. Some people cried that she lost because she is woman. Sexism and all that jazz. But we had woman president for previous 2 periods. Once elected in 1st round with 50%+ vote right off the bat. And we had first woman PM in early 90s. But yeah, it’s just sexism and not coming from a very polarizing party. With a baggage of being finance minister during 08 crisis.
Many freelance sites like Upwork, and Freelancer helps to do so, but the problem of finding a reliable developer with capability of building good architecture, timeline, fast and cheap is difficult. You can also try Toptal While it's generally known for providing top-tier talent, it also offers options for part-time and hourly engagements. You might find skilled developers who are willing to work on smaller tasks as they have availability. Also reach out to your network and ask for recommendations.

I'd also be delighted to offer my services. With background in Python, Django, Node.js, React, Redis, Kafka, and more, I believe I can be a helpful to build your project. Reach out to me github.com/devraj4522.
Improved Mental Health After 6 Years of Depression
Hi everyone,

I want to share a personal journey with you, a journey that challenged me, broke me, but ultimately helped me find myself. For 6 long years, I fought with depression. It was a really hard battle, with a lot of tears, endless worrying, and really low self-confidence. I felt like I was stuck in a deep, dark hole and couldn't get out.

I really tried hard to get better. I talked to 5 different therapists, all with different ways of doing things. I tried different kinds of therapy too, like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and many others. But nothing seemed to make a difference.

Just when things seemed hopeless, I found something that helped. It's called Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy. It was different from everything else I tried, and it really spoke to me.

This therapy changed everything. For the first time in years, I saw a path out of the darkness. It made me see that my depression wasn't my enemy; instead, it was like a friend trying to keep me from getting hurt. It was taking care of a little, hurt child inside me who got hurt a long time ago.

Now, I want to help others who might be going through the same thing. I want to help others to embrace and love ALL their emotions, even those that might seem dark or frightening. To help with this, I've created a course that can guide you if you're stuck in the same kind of dark place I was in.

You can find it here: https://udemy.com/course/internal-family-systemsifs-therapy-...

I really want to hear what you think. Your feedback is important because it can help make the course better. And as we learn together, I'm excited to hear about your experiences too.

Thank you!
So, incredibly inconvenient.

Slapping liability seems like a good strategy for a lot of things.
Right, I agree with that. I think in practice this is largely circumvented by ad-hocing tagged unions in these cases.

Higher level, I think that it's fairly rare to see Optionals outside of the _very_ basic cases, and downstream of that you're actually not flinging around nulls or undefined as data. Instead everyone reaches for a kind attribute. Especially in cases like you're talking about (where there's this notion of not finding something, but also this notion of something still loading).

Not to say the distinction doesn't matter, but TS feels well designed in the sense that all of its unsafety is in places that end up not coming up in many "normal" codebases
I know nothing about this one in particular but typical game license deals are something like 25% of revenue to the IP holder. A strong dev like EA may bump that down a little bit and a mega IP (Harry Potter, Marvel, etc) might bump it up, but it's not going to be super far off.

As an Affinity Designer user, it's insane too see how close we went from only Illustrator having Shape Builder to both Designer and Inkscape releasing it so close together. It's super handy and happy to see it as an option everywhere now.

Honestly if they focused on cleaning up the UI I could see myself trying out Inkscape more seriously!
Provide just one example. Am curious.
Paradox Interactive recently did this for the Europa Universalis series, and honestly it's a good deal for new adopters. That being said, it's more expensive than a humble bundle sale (which happens often, at least annually). The EU4 game receives at least 2 DLCs as well as other music packs and sound packs a year, so it makes sense to get the subscription (which could still be more affordable for some people though).
It is kind of, given the tooling that is still bound to .NET Framework, or that if you want to analyse profiling data, that is only available in VS/Windows.

Also many .NET shops still only target VS for their SDK plugins.

Additionally, VSCode seems to be getting a new developer experience, also tied to the same licenses as VS and VS4Mac.

Finally, if you really want a cross platform GUI, you're better off with 3rd party like Avalonia and Uno, than anything Microsoft.

This stuff in many shops is what makes them go Java instead of .NET, regardless of .NET Core/.NET 5+, as there are no "yes but" when discussing frameworks versus OS support.

Many believe that astrology is real and scientific - at least where there are professional astrologers. Astrologers often make predictions that are either too ambiguous or based on observations of the subject. This often leads to confirmation bias in the believers who start interpreting their life events based on these predictions. That leads them to believe that astrology may have solutions (yes - astrologer prescribe solutions too, where I'm from) to problems that actually require psychiatric treatment.
