Well, no, you seemingly invented something out of whole cloth, because I can't really find any evidence that non-consummation makes a marriage invalid, in a secular sense: obviously I've proven the religious aspect of it.

So [citation needed] for your broad brush: if you can prove otherwise then I'll stand corrected. The history of marriage, and the diversity of jurisdictions and regulation for it, is certainly a large haystack to search.
Your link is paywalled, but while looking for a way to read it I found the author has been criticized for this specific article you’re linking: https://fair.org/home/millennials-moved-right-nyt-cherry-pic...

Also: even if Millenials were becoming more conservative (which would be very strange for a lot of economic reasons alone), the definition of “minority” held by the media may not really apply if nearly half of the generation identifies as non-white. (https://www.census.gov/newsroom/archives/2015-pr/cb15-113.ht...)
Perhaps. But the article mentions shows that were made, ready to go, then canceled.

I agree that consistency across the codebase is important for its long-term health. There's a few things I can think of that will help you make this kind of PR comment successfully. First is that they should never block the PR from being merged, (although see second point).

Second is that they should be deployed judiciously: if you're making dozens of them on one PR then something is wrong either with the PR or with you. If it's you, then figure out which 2-5 or so (depending on the changeset size) are most important to you and let the other ones go. If it's the PR, then pulling the author aside and working with them to understand the codebase style, and helping them push a revised changset, is a better route than carpet-bombing their PR. (And you'll probably want to follow up that pairing beforehand for the next couple of PRs they do.)

Third is how to express them: the examples in the article are pretty good in this regard. Remember that these are optional improvements, and some of them can be subjective even if they're backed by common practice in the codebase. Be friendly rather than curt with your colleagues. And give some justification for your suggestion. If you can't come up with a good justification, it might be a sign that the comment isn't worth making.

On the receiving side, also try to take the comments in a friendly spirit. It's easy and natural to react negatively to any kind of comment on something you've worked on. But let that pass and don't make it part of your outward response. And most of all try to remember the suggestions reviewers make, so that they're not forever saying the same thing on your PRs. And if that does arise for some reason, it's again cause for a side conversation.

A tutorial on how to fine-tune a GPT3.5 model for Natural Language to SQL tasks and a comparison of its performance vs Retrieval Augmented Generation.

Based on the results, fine-tuning can match and outperform RAG (the approach matches the state of the art on accuracy while being far faster and cheaper). The big challenge for fine-tuning tasks like this is building the training datasets. Things should get even more interesting when GPT-4 is opened for fine-tuning.

Flat metal panels are subject to oil-canning, among other problems. Any distortion may cause ripples to show up. It can also cause a vibration due to airflow sometimes. Making the panels out of thicker metal help both of these problems, but also increase weight.

Using a curved panel gives you a little margin to move small problems to the top or bottom of the panel. A curve next to a curve doesn't give a strong visual cue for lateral offset, but a sharp angle next to a sharp angle does. This is also why a very slight orange peel texture in paint is not always a bad thing.

> crops fail due to the climate becoming unpredictable and wars over clean water become ubiquitous

Currently, we're facing what can become the worst famine in decades because of a single war that was NOT caused by global warming or access to water. Just simple nationalism.

The food supply 50-300 years from now is really hard to predict. If the birth rate stays at current levels, and also reach such levels in the few countries where the birth rate is still high today (mostly Africa), there will be a lot fewer mouths to feed in 2100 than today.

And if the birth rate goes back up, and exponential population growth resumes, no amount of food production will ensure that we never run out.

Right now (or rather, before 2022), the amount of food produced per capita globally, is probably higher than at any time before since the dawn of time.

Humans have invented a reliable way of adjudicating truth. It's called the scientific method, a closely related cousin of which is professional journalism. There's a reason that it takes years to develop the expertise to be a scientist or a journalist. It's hard work. But it is the only defense against demagoguery.

So yes, I would feel a lot better about it if the decisions were being made by someone -- or, even better, a group of people -- who were committed to a process of adjudicating truth on the basis of evidence rather than ideology. And yes, I tend to agree with such people because I personally try to hew to evidence over ideology. One of the benefits of adjudicating truth on the basis of evidence rather than ideology is that it tends to converge, and so it tends result in people who adhere to this process agreeing with each other. Superficially this looks a lot like agreement based on ideology, but there is one big difference, and that is that dissent is actually welcome -- if you can back it up with evidence. In science, progress is possible. In a system that bases truth on ideology, particularly one whose ideology is rooted in an individual (i.e. a personality cult), it isn't. That's what scares me.
Assuming the other end has filled in what Slack calls Display Name (which I interpret as "preferred name", is heavily implied by Slack's UI, and I think most people will too) … then you've addressed them as they prefer. (And if not, they can change it, and it instantly updates!)

Of course, if we can just wish businesses into making climate-friendly choices (like moving fleets to EV instead of ICE, per your example), then we can just wish Shell into getting out of oil and gas altogether. And the corollary is that if we can't wish Shell into getting out of oil and gas altogether, then we can't wish other businesses into making climate-friendly choices, so we're left with politics: penalizing (instead of incentivizing) fossil fuel consumption (including border adjustments so we don't just export our consumption of fossil fuels) and/or national programs to shift the grid to renewables and electrify fossil fuel applications.

> It is, in fact, possible to have a decent time on Goodreads. [...] I still use the site daily

Why can't you quit it? Because you lack self-control to act on your convictions and desires. Worry less about why other people "can't quit" it, because other people may not even want to quit it in the first place. Worry more about why you lack the self-control to act on your stated desire to quit it.

I don't use Goodreads, I use LibraryThing. What you are experiencing is a 'you problem', not a 'we problem'. I guess you are trying to frame it as a 'we problem' to make yourself feel better about your lack of self control. Stop doing this, this is a mental crutch to shield your ego from acknowledging the you problem. Framing it as a 'we problem' prevents you from fixing the problem you have with yourself.

What do you mean by “new”?

Superman and Batman have been around for almost 80+ years. Pokémon is approaching 30 years.

Hollywood movies made in the 1920s were remade in the 1930s which were remade in the 1940s which were remade in the 1950s and so on.

People have also been writing articles that mention this “new” normal for decades. But when does it stop being “new” lol?

How were those new-ish Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings shows marketed? (I didn’t watch them.)
> per capita they are relatively poor but punch well above that weight since they have enormous populations. If they can sustain that population dynamic (which seems problematic actually) then it doesn't matter that they are per-capita poor.

This is a line of reasoning I don't get. I mean I understand it, I just strongly disagree.

Countries are made up of people, individual people. How important is it really that a country is a "superpower" if the average person eeks out a horrible existence. To take it to a further extreme, look at the Russian empire of the late 18th/early 19th century. Russia was definitely a Great Power at that time, while also the majority of the population were slaves (there really wasn't much of a difference between serfdom and slavery) who were borderline starving, or actually starving, during that time. But rah rah Russia definitely got some nice palaces out of it at the time that certainly make great monuments today.

I'm much prefer to live in a "non-superpower" with a much better quality of life for me and the people I love.

"The wall" is already manifesting in Europe as well, in terms of CoL and real estate prices[1] where even skilled workers can't afford a decent home anymore or build any wealth after paying the inflated rents from their stagnating wages. You either inherit something from your parents or are screwed if you don't get a top FAANG/F500 job out of university. Working for small or average companies doesn't cut it anymore.

It feels like the society collectively decided "no more new building" to make housing scarce and inflate up property prices of existing owners at the expense of the newcomers.

Seems like a common theme among the developed world from the Americas all the way to AU-NZ.

> Regarding why your team failed - i've been in a similiar scenario like you as a team lead. The answer is simple - no one in your team was open to adopting scrum so it failed. That's fine but it's not the fault of scrum rather than the company management.

How do you know no one was open to trying it? I specifically mentioned that I personally objected to scrum, but wrote nothing about other people.

What happened in fact was that people initially really tried their best ti cooperate, but it simply didn't work very well and crippled the team.
> I believe the issue is m$ was basically giving it away for free for anyone who has the office suite.

That's the OP's point: what you call "giving away for free for anyone who has the office suite", I call "adding another feature to the office suite". Particularly for features which everyone understands are now just necessary in the space, it's a little weird to say "you can't add new features to your software, that would be anticompetitive".
It's weird that I almost immediately had the thought for essentially exactly the same approach while reading the article. Not that this reflects on OP; flashes of solutions like that I think are often mostly random.

But I wonder if this is a sign of things to come - rather than needing to find explicit deterministic solutions to many problems that might actually have one, because ML is getting much more powerful and accessible instead we'll just use ML models and get 99.9% accurate solutions, but say, well that's good enough.
> The fact that the easiest ways to pull data in involve things like RUN wget is a design error

Why is that? You can perfectly get reproducible build even using wget. You wget your file, get its checksum and compare it to an expected checksum. Boom, reproducible wget.

Honestly I've always found reproducibility harder to enforce when using Linux package managers (at least with apt-get which messes stuff up with timestamps)

An alternative worth pondering: maybe social media just has a shelf-life of 5-10 years. You get into it during your hyper-social teen years, and then you get bored of it. That doesn't mean it will die. So long as we keep having young people there will be a market. But the social media apps are definitely delusional if they keep projecting that the entire human population will keep using social media all the time.

I know that this doesn't align with the article, because the article says that Gen Alpha prefers private messaging apps, but I still think there is something to this idea.

A lot of us here are the first generation of mass computer and internet usage and I think that clouds our long-term perspective about what computer usage will be like for future generations born into a world where computers always existed.
The consumer is only capable of choosing among options capital has made available in the market. Placing the blame on them misses how the system works. The idea of consumers having a choice is an illusion created by marketing to make consumers feel like they have some free will in their actions.

I don't fully agree with parent poster, but the questions in your comments begged for some legitimate answers:

> What do you expect them to do with office buildings filled with conference rooms and thousand dollar conference room chairs?

Turn them into public housing, public spaces, publicly funded cafeterias, etc.

> Not to mention now you've put a 100,000 people out of work, probably more. I guess making them starve

Now with the excess in housing and all these public spaces and cafeterias, maybe it wont be as necessary for people to hang on to fulltime work.
Yeah I don't understand how they "dealt with it" in the first place.

> I think its deeper than that. Its not an oil company issue.

Funding a massive climate change denial movement in the US for decades, consequently eating up our limited window of time to make the kinds of societal changes to avoid the worst consequences of climate change is very much an "oil company issue" that is done exclusively for profit.

Her new novel, “The Fraud,” is based on a celebrated 19th-century criminal trial, but it keeps one eye focused clearly on today’s political populism.

Populism, that's code for the voters think the politicians work in their interests. I wager that if you mentioned any subject under the sun Mahajan would connect it with "Trumpism".
How often does it happen that a programmer is faced with "implement this feature or be fired?"

Most software evil happens because the programmers are busy and it would take hours to make a coherent case for why the negative social impact of the feature outweighs the claimed advantages, so they just do it and move on.
Yes, though sometimes we use something called "bent pipe" where we communicate with something like MRO who is then communicating to an asset on the ground at Mars, so technically we're talking to two assets, but not "really"
"The only reasonable explanation is corruption."

It's a reasonable explanation, but not the only one. You're taking a huge organization or organizations (UK government departments) that have a revolving door of top-level leadership, plus ever-evolving technology, plus another huge organization (IBM) with a huge cast of people constantly being shuffled around...

Incompetence, disorganization, bad management, bouts of good management trying to re-rail things, new leadership undoing old leadership decisions... I can think of lots of reasons why government projects fail that aren't directly tied to corruption. (And just because there's corruption in a deal doesn't mean the vendor won't deliver, the two aren't necessarily mutually exclusive.)
Tangential, but can these emulators run untrusted code? If not, is there some way to check for authenticity of random ROM like checksum?

If checksums were to work, do you know if a website centralizing those would fall under the law?
ML-powered discovery based on shared activity, I believe, without significant randomness mixed in, tends to get trapped inside local maxima.

IMO your definition of "corruption" has a very low bar. ;-)

Legacy requires election which requires campaign donors. It's quid pro quo.

Theoretically, elected representatives are supposed to represent their constituents, not their donors.

But markets change. Video calling and team-based chatrooms weren't considered necessary in the space before, and now they are.

The usual line is 10,000lbs GVWR, which is met only by three-quarter-ton and heavier pickups (think F-250, Silverado 2500 HD, etc.), among vehicles that people actually drive on public roads.

The prime minister of Ethiopia is Abiy Ahmed. When he won the Nobel Peace Prize, he was referred to as Mr Abiy, which is his given name. Ahmed is his father's name, and it would be incorrect to refer to him as Mr Ahmed. Likewise, many Tamil people often have a first name and a patronymic, which may just be referred to with an initial. Example: S. Ramanujan. Ramanujan is his given name, Srinivasa is his father's name. In Indonesia, the government doesn't have a notion of first and last names. If you have a surname it's interpreted by the government as your family having a tradition of adding the family name to the end (or beginning) of your name. Similarly in India you can have surnames, clan names, caste names, patronymics, or mononyms. Trying to divide a name up into its parts is a fool's errand: Much easier to simply ask, what is your full name and what is your preferred name.
In some jurisdictions, the adult children of elderly people are absolutely on the hook for their care. At least this is from a financial standpoint. They could put them in a facility, or care for them at home, but they cannot abandon the parents or leave them to their own devices. I believe that this sort of regulation lay dormant for a long time, but is now being more actively enforced, because of abuses and problems that arise when children don't care at all.
