We think there will be many angles to look up our site:
- Do other people share my name, n my country and in the word?
- How rare is my first or last name?
- How old is that person I met? What's their birthday?
- Percentage of a population accounted for as proxy of a country's digital footprint.
You will find these answers super quickly, without a great investment.
That being said, we're also looking for volunteers: people who find lists or create dozens of records. As I'm sure you know, Wikipedia runs on 300,000 volunteers - that's 1 volunteer for 10,000 visitors!

Other commenters are suggesting stories about cultural values and teenagers actively wanting to be mothers. That may or may not be true. The simplest explanation is that the infant simulators just do not have an effect one way or the other.

There's no need to say the infant simulator *increases* desire for pregnancy. I think it's more likely it doesn't effect attitudes much at all, but standard health education actually suppresses teenage pregnancy. So, the study sees the apparent increase in pregnancy with the simulator program, when compared to the somewhat effective health education.
UPS official policy says they won't deliver without collecting the payment (though they can't verify the payment is valid) but in reality sometimes drivers do it anyway. UPS doesn't really have a procedure in their system for handling this or if they do most employees have no clue.

The best bet is to take it to a service center and talk to a manager there. Let them know you refused COD (or the package was sent unsolicited) and that you are refusing delivery. Tossing it on your doorstep does not count as accepting the delivery, they just do that because it is cheaper for them.

If you want to game the system sign up for MyUPS so you get advance notice of all deliveries to you. Then when these unknown packages show up bound for you reject them immediately. That goes into the computer sorting system and can often get the package pulled before it even reaches your local service center.

You could use the "Keywords:" header (sometimes used in Usenet) if you want something like tags.

For suggested short responses, perhaps make up a new header such as "Responses:" with a comma-separated list of short responses.

This would make it fully compatible and can work fine with plain text and will be compatible with all existing email clients and servers. It is also not that complicated to implement, and some users may see the headers already.

I haven't visited a CNET page in years and didn't know they were even still relevant :p

The times I have visited CNET pages in the past was to find specific information. If such information happens to be in deleted articles, that would reduce my interactions with CNET in the future.

I think they should archive the old articles or even offload them to Wayback willingly, but it's possible some of the articles they're purging aren't worthwhile. If I write up an article about a cat playing on a scratching post, there's a good chance there's nothing unique or valuable about it and it doesn't need to sit around gathering bit rot :p

Sadly third party apps need to be approved by a slack workspace administrator. I wanted to use wee-slack[0], but neither my work nor any of the community slacks I’m a member of, e.g. kubernetes, had any third party clients enabled at all.

I figured the likelihood of an admin enabling it at my request was zero so I didn’t bother asking.

One of the most interesting things with respect to the future of Kotlin is its mission to be a multi-platform language.

When WebAssembly/gc becomes generally available, it will be exciting to see which languages will successfully target it. Kotlin has quite good chances of succeeding as a full-stack language, because of its growing ecosystem of multi-platform libraries that work in the JVM, in a browser, and on a native system. Note that the Java standard library is great, but it does not interoperate well with the JavaScript ecosystem. The same goes for C# and Rust.

As a personal pet project, and to check if the multi-platform concept actually works, I have written an emulator for an old computer in Kotlin. Initial development was done in the JVM, because I was familiar with JavaFX and sound output in Java. I then later compiled it to JavaScript, which was trivial and required no code changes, except for an implementation of canvas and audio rendering.

A serious problem is the IDE experience though. Interactive web development in VSCode with TypeScript is a breeze, with a subsecond edit-compile-run cycle. Kotlin compilation is still clunky, and fixing a typo requires at least 10 seconds of my patience, even on a decent workstation. Work is underway to improve this, but only time will tell if things succeed.

Its returning the text that needs to be inserted in place of x to make the equality true. Since the parentheses already contain the inches they are not redundantly attached to the x. If you remove the inches from the query you get the result in mm, you would use

to get the answer in inches.
What is the point of infant simulation if the one of the most impactful part would be skipped?

The biggest parts of having a baby, for the mom mostly:

1) physical changes and pains during pregnancy, including lack of sleep

2) physical changes and pains during childbirth, including episiotomy/C section, and dealing with that recovery process

3) while this is all going on, you have to teach this baby to breastfeed. Which then leads to engorgement and other pains for the mom, at least for a few weeks.

And all of this is happening while you are on very broken sleep schedules. And assuming you do not have to worry about income/rent/etc.

I once applied to Canonical... and forgot. Then half a year after I started another job, I received an email from them about how I'm a bad match.

the Java one is pluggable, whereas if one wanted to implement the cited PreparedStatement-strings in Python it'd be a parser bump since there is no `sql""` in the grammar
To the best of my knowledge, a combination of special flags and fine tuning is used to let models "know" when to stop generating output:

Basically during pre-training/fine-tuning, for every sequence you'd like your model to generate (for example a multi-turn chat instruct model like chatGPT), you have a flag at the end of the expected output (like end of string, <|something like this|>, or some random hash to prevent users from doing weird "sql-injection style" prompt hacking (ex: https://twitter.com/nostalgebraist/status/168657604180309606...)

Then, during inference, if the model generates the special flag, it terminates the function and the string is returned.

Also on your note about multiple passes a second, it's absolutely wild how much compute modern computers have. My 3090 goes on full blast during inference on 13B llama models.

> What would e.g. happen if you mix both types?

Like in

> you can overload the + operator

I fail to see the need. (Sorry I'm a bit tired). In this thread context of static languages, your compiler knows the target type of an assignement (clip/mod) and so applies the right correction.

> in python there's simply no overflow, every int is an object that can be as big as needed

I guess there's a huge speed penalty in wrapping values into objects.

> What was the "determined" date to have them ready? How do you know they were late? Judging by Elon's estimates?

Crew Dragon was approximately 3 years late, from the original planned launch date of 2017 to the actual date of 2020. Given that the contract for the missions were awarded in 2014, it's a miracle that things have proceeded at the pace they have.

> You know of course that requirements for the rocket to launch people are different from the rocket to launch only cargo?

I'm well aware of the differences. I work in this industry. That said, SpaceX made the wise decision to cut their teeth and prove their design on cargo first. That's not a new launch vehicle by definition. They were launching rockets regularly for years before they put people on the pointy end. Most other human-rated rockets in recent history have _only_ launched humans. I'm neglecting older, converted ICBMs like Redstone and Titan. The only standout from this list is probably Soyuz (the R-7 derivative launch vehicle), which has been kept going through sheer inertia.

> I'd agree regarding Falcon-9. Starship is another story.

I suspect that Starship will be years behind schedule before it even launches cargo. I suspect that it will miss NASA's planned lunar landing date, but it won't be at fault because other parts of the program will suffer even worse schedule slips. I understand that people are hopeful that this really will revolutionize spaceflight, and I count myself in that group too! Reality has a way of intruding eventually though. I want SpaceX to build, fly, and trash as many unmanned Starships as it takes to make it reliable. That will cause some level of delay because they'll find something new in the testflights that will necessitate a redesign before it kills someone.
Postgres started in 1986. its was never less featureful than MySQL...in fact MySQL tried to get by without _transactions_ for the longest time. the fact that MySQL had more market/mindshare at any point is more of a testament about crowd mentality than anything about either of the two databases.
It would require collecting this data in the first place. Since it's not related to the primary functionality of the extension, it would require me to declare it in the privacy policy and extension stores. Probably needs additional access permissions as well. It's much easier to just not collect anything at all.
Most of the microservice code I see is

response = fetch(url, payload)
if (response.error) ...

but 99% of the folks I ask what is going to happen when the fetch does NOT error out but instead takes 10 seconds look at me like I'm speaking gibberish.

This is the single biggest reason for cascading failures I see.

Netflix has dealt with it via their Hystrix library (open source). These days it seems like a proxy like Consul is the way to go. It encapsulates all of the fancy logic (like circuit breakers and flow control) so your service doesn't have to.

Destructuring is nice, but this here seems to work only in conjunction with instanceof which is a quite rare (and somewhat smelly) operator.

I mean, how are you going to use it? Something like this?

Point p = getPoint();

if (p instanceof Point(int x, int y)) {
System.out.println(x+y);
}

... that seems pretty bad. Or am I missing something?

curious - Postgres isn't hackable enough for you? I've found it much more amenable to changes in say, the storage engine, than mysql ever was.
This data is reconstructed, it's smoothed and acknowledges as much in the picture.
What happens if you don't pay? Or do they expect you to pay up front for essentially a pig in a poke?
To be fair to vendors, it's increasingly difficult to maintain compatibility with both! Here's my very long rundown of the differences in tables/DDL alone: https://www.skeema.io/blog/2023/05/10/mysql-vs-mariadb-schem...

...and that doesn't even account for differences in global variables/configuration, SQL syntax, functions, replication, etc.
If the point of the simulation was to deter pregnancies, I don't see how it could be successful without the biggest struggles of raising children being included. After all, people are willing to have children even when they are aware of these struggles, so reducing the struggles even a little would make having children seem more appealing, not less.

Hell, it's possible that teenagers naturally have a larger than reality aversion to having children, and these simulations break down the aversion, increasing pregnancies.
Yeah, making a good SDK for every major language would be an absolutely Sisyphean task with negligible returns - it'd be great to have at least one solid reference implementation though.

e.g. a reference implementation in Ruby if they're a Ruby shop, a reference implementation in Java if they're a Java shop, etc.

I wonder if you can generate a "good enough" API client to start out with using say, OpenAPI and then tweak it to suit your needs?

Then again, maybe this is where something like gRPC would really shine compared to REST APIs - I'm not sure, but, it seems like an area that could be improved significantly.

Your startup sounds promising, and hopefully it helps to simplify things!
That's how it should work. Slack offers APIs, and the administrator of each instance controls the level of access you get to them. Remember that the data in Slack doesn't belong to you, but rather is the property of your employer.
Becoming well known for always trying to put customers first is a good strategy and probably makes business sense in the long run. I have used mullvad for years.
