in the context of python, what exactly is an api change? If my api is

```
def some_function(*args, **kwargs) -> JSON:
...
```

In essence, I'm pretty sure plenty of the changes in the set of parameters that are actually acceptable quite often changes accidentally (same for what's in the JSON)
Profiles and containers probably are the reasons I am still using Firefox.

Profiles are super useful and allow to separate addons, bookmarks and history for different use patterns (normal browsing, dev, NSFW).
It's kind unfortunate that we have a big world, 8 billions of people to select subsets to meet, thousands of things to do and see, and we're glued to screens for multiple hours per day to the detriment of other activities, to the point of lamenting our landscape oriented vision.
Maybe even include a stacktrace, and you got what any sane language with exceptions had for decades, hurray again for Go!
I gradually moved from netflix streaming to netflix dvd (consistently better movies). Then netflix closed my streaming account because I didn't use it.

And just now they closed my dvd account, because... they don't do dvds anymore.

sigh.
I have a friend who incorporates everything he learns into his open-source projects. Initially, it was a showcase of his best practices, and now his open-source projects have gained significant popularity.

The usual issue isn’t the typing, but the fact that you need to make sure you identified and updated every site correctly.

What happened to twitter's trademark ?
What you are saying is true, but that doesn't mean a lot of underhanded "games" aren't played.

"Nobody is getting rich off failure; if everyone were to walk away there'd be nothing left and therefore nothing to recover and distribute. It's bad for everyone, but the alternative is worse."

Here's one such game. Executives, who enjoy information asymetry, and leverage can parlay this into one final earning event. Threaten to leave the company in disarray, unless they're paid. Coordinated, it's hard to say no to.

Imagine if the top 5-10 execs at an otherwise ok startup coordinated a demand to double their pay/stock or everyone walks tomorrow. They time the move using inside knowledge of cash flow, making the demand irresistible.

I'm not suggesting an alternative, but that doesn't mean a corpse isnt a feast for some.
Why are you complaining that this person wrote a clear and small example that demonstrates what they are talking about? It is painfully rude; a description and a couple lines of code that runs is the gold standard for starting a programming conversation.
I was being sarcastic, note the part about Putin's son bribing officials in Ukraine.
Amazing! They are great :)

He's the tech bros' Alex Jones. Odious.
I like a lot about elixir, including what you point out. Pattern matching is awesome. Its type hinting via spec is not enough (i hear some developments are on their way here).

I don't like that I often had to jump up several callers to understand the arguments coming into my function. Go wins here. And I also require performance. While it may have been query abuse by Ecto, the Elixir code base I was in was only able to handle like 3k rps across 5 nodes. I expect nearly 2x that from a single similarly sized Go node making Go 10x more performant in naive implementations. Easier to read and more performant? I chose Go. It also plays nicer with K8s; we had trouble getting nodes linked up in elixir to allow multi node BEAM features.
This is a good takedown I read [1] My own take: Andreesen doesn't get that politics/law/society also has "software", i.e. rules that advance and get complex as civilization gets complex. In a sense there is human/social "technology" as well that has to evolve and advance as well. Hard Tech needs Soft Tech, they are not "enemies".

Like a small DB engine, or something like redis maybe?

Interesting, definitely too large for a single 3h session, but if splitted that would make a cool project.
devolution of the old social-media-glued-together internet will be a great opportunity. Its poison was its focus on censorship, and ironically even the removal censorship is proving to be poisonous. I find all social media, including reddit to be insufferably high on censorship, to the point where i have to ask myself how much different is china nowadays. More and more people who matter are leaving to closed groups or back to the decentralized media. The followers will follow
> Now in light of all the evidence

What on earth are you talking about? What evidence? It was clearly an attack from the IDF. What are you going to say next, that Palestinians have weapons of mass destruction? Give it up, you can't lie to the whole world again.
Well, it's oil paint, so I wouldn't be surprised.
Thank you! I'd enjoy it if someone expanded on this too.
Haven't we been through this before... If refusing to watch the ads is evil lazy freeloading/stealing, then so is watching the ads and not buying the product. If you plan to do the latter, you might as well do the former.

If there's a difference, at best it's the difference between stiffing Google and helping Google stiff their advertisers. Either way, if everyone did it, it wouldn't last.
Is it possible to restrict one profile to one website?

>. Beyond the importance of controlling the placebo effect, I am worried that a lot of the drug-depression research is overlooking an important possibility: that the thing about ketamine/psilocybin/etc that is helping with depression is not some latent property of the molecule, but rather the actual transcendent experience of the trip. In other words, the trip is the point, not the mechanistic neuro-tinkering.

I remember the first time I ever tried a benzodiazepine. I then realized I am anxious most times, that that default state is not ""normal" and that you can actually change it. And for brief periods of times I was able to re-create the effects of it at will.
Also just having a xanax pill in my wallet cured my panic attacks.

My hypothesis is that even "temporary" positive psychological experiences can have profound effects on the brain, show it there is a better state and in certain conditions the brain will figure a path.

I don't know when I learnt to move my ears, twist my tongue sideways or when I self learnt "voluntary tubal opening", but without going into mumbo-jumbo, I think there's a lot more we can control about our brains and bodies than we think.
It was somewhat amusing to see people who'd been saying "I'm willing to pay to support websites and creators, but alas there is simply no option for me" pivot into being outraged at the mere option of having what they asked for. It was always a clear post-hoc rationalization with no substance, but it's useful to see the bluff called
Any sufficiently big country is very anarchic in that sense. US and India are made of literal states. Russia resembles a medieval feudal structure. UK is England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and it all would be about 5% population of China. An idea that someone or something could govern such a huge amount of people directly and controlling all aspects of life and economy looks absurd to me.
Aside from chest hair thickening macho demonstrations, practical jokes or new rectal enhanced interrogation techniques does it has any practical uses?
I recommend Gandi as they are such a huge player in domains, often resellinh their services to big companies like AWS. There's no crap with them. They just sell domain registrations.

I think the risk was huge (personally I thought 50-70% at the time), but not 99% or something. Also (in my opinion) people don't take into account that alternative was irrelevance in exile, just look at what happened with Kasparov's popularity inside Russia, and he was a prominent opposition activist in 2011-2012.
I don't think I've ever actually seen a US-style flatbed anywhere in Europe (including the UK).

They might exist and just be rare, but I normally see things like a Ford Transit with an open cargo section, and that cabin has much better visibility than the standard US shape:

"No impact" doesn't seem quite accurate considering they lost more than half of their Twitter traffic. It did only account for a small part of their total traffic though so I understand what you mean.

With this said, it sounds like NPR had no idea why they used Twitter. My best news source is a paid service that summarizes every article in the headline. It gives them both money and tremendous power to set the narrative but few clicks. NPR instead measured their success in CTR which seems like a strange measurement for the genre, especially when you don't get your main funding from ads.
If only Sideberry synced its state across computers... it's a great extension and I prefer it to other tree tab extensions.
That sounds like bullshit (i.e., it shouldn't be this way, I'm sure you're correct). Being a landlord should entail a certain amount of risk: you're betting the tenant will be able to pay the rent, so you need to be careful choosing tenants, especially if they're companies, and moreso if they're companies with risky finances.

Why should employees be prioritized below a property speculator?

I think he miscalculated the degree of cruelty he’ll experience. Also his move itself could be the trigger as if this cruelty would nit be there, then he would have been a hero winning, not a hero losing. Steps “had to be made”, sadly.
Large goiters are rare and the vast majority are not outwardly visible nor do they impact breathing.

Strong agree. Stack traces are great and all (seriously) but a chain of contextual error messages in developer friendly language is great for understanding what probably went wrong from the error alone.
Agreed no one uses those defunct tools like awk or roff, let's re-use them!

Who cares if every build script in the world breaks, progress waits for no one.
Good point. In some ways this kind of error makes it feel like its process is very comparable to what humans do.
"Inadvertently" in the title is specious. Several high rank Israeli officials (including Benjamin Netanyahu) have recognized helping Hamas financing itself for various political reasons, like keeping the Palestinian Authority powerless and more generally keeping Palestinians politically divided.
Maybe they need something in bankruptcy law that requires the executives to stick around, at low pay, to do their jobs and unwind the company. After all, they're the ones who made it fail. Why should they be allowed to walk away?

If a regular individual declares bankruptcy and then doesn't bother doing any of the required paperwork and legal stuff, saying the court needs to pay them top dollar for their time, things will not go well for them.
I haven't seen his new show, but my understanding of the original is that they heavily edit the off-site interviews. This can create the effect that the guest is speaking uninterrupted and that the interviewer makes the guest look like a fool - but the effect is created through editing rather interruptions in person.
As an Apple TV user, I'd mostly agree with this, especially as everyone except Netflix is able to make their platform work with Up Next etc. on the Apple TV. The only streaming app I have that is worse than Netflix is Amazon's but that's mostly because the UI is completely unusable on an Apple TV. Their catalogue is also reminiscent of the 50p bargain basket at Blockbuster, just shit that nobody else wanted.
Torture, bear mace.
"can" being the key word; rewriting code in Swift because the old code "can" contain bugs that swift "could" help prevent is wishful thinking. Working code is proven code, tested, reviewed, optimized, fixed, analyzed, and has run trillions of times. Rewriting it to another language because it "can" hold unknown bugs that may not have been discovered yet is a weird flavor of hubris, similar to people seeing Rust as the one language that will fix all software bugs, amortizing the cost of rewriting and dismissing the existing code.
This system of scientific gatekeeping and law enforcement is a direct projection of the barriers put in place between individuals and god by the catholic church. For millennia authorities have attempted to prevent people from having meaningful spiritual experiences directly, of their own accord, via access to substances that grow e.g. in their nearest cow fields.

In this way, your psychiatrist friend is simply the next iteration of a priest, and the portrayal of her patients as greedy fools only furthers this divide and pushes ever more people towards the other side of the law. I'll see you in _my_ cow field with a woven basket!

_edit_: think of it this way. An internal urge drives people to your friend in search of a meaningful experience. Your friend consults her good book and returns to them with information: no, you cannot have your meaningful experience.
Would be nice to be rich enough to afford to buy one of those.

\title{Natural selection in the Health and Retirement Study}
\author{XXX}
\date{September 2023}

\begin{document}

\maketitle

\begin{abstract}
I investigate natural selection on polygenic scores in the contemporary US, using the Health and Retirement Study.
Results partially support the economic theory of fertility as an explanation for natural selection: among both white and black respondents, scores which correlate negatively (positively) with education are selected for (against).
Selection coefficients are larger among low-income and unmarried parents, but not among younger parents or those with less education.
I also estimate effect sizes corrected for noise in the polygenic scores.

I'm really surprised at how little SwiftUI has come in 4 years, I hope it'll get better. My biggest problem with it is that often as soon as you need to do something slightly complicated it becomes a huge nightmare. It's almost always just easier to use UIKit
Yes, but these secondary markets have been fine because they still require a large primary market.

A library can only lend as many copies as it purchases. Someone selling their copy can only sell the copy they purchased. These secondaries are constrained by the primary.

Your talking about one person buying a single copy and then distributing it for free in perpetuity. This secondary is not constrained by the primary.
Circuits "without entanglement" are divided up into fixed size blocks. I.e. we have n qubits divided up into blocks of size d. Within each block we can do whatever you like, but in circuits without entanglement you will have no gates which cross between blocks (i.e. for every multiple-qubit gate all of its qubits are within the same block).
Residential areas in the USA tend not to have 3 phase power.

In several (not all) European countries, it's normal to have 3 phase power in your garage, kitchen and laundry room -- even in apartments. In (almost?) all of them, it's normal for any business to have it.

That means the typical destination and many home chargers are using it.

Oh great, a textbook example of using a dominating position in one market to gain entry to another.

If Google gets to complain that "if we all blocked ads, we'll all be worse off", it feels relevant that "If we all played along with Google's monopoly games, we'd be worse off".

Or people like me who don’t have the ability to install an EV charger where they live and don’t have the prospect of it any time soon.

My recent experience in a rental Tesla solidified that even with the 250kW chargers, having to go elsewhere to charge it is a big deterrent to buying one. Even in Los Angeles, the Supercharger network isn’t dense enough to overcome this for me.
> at their core, performative quests for such transcendence

That sounds like a middlebrow dismissal of what these groups are. I think you can describe them with more tangible psychological/philosophical motivations which I don't find useful to describe as "transcendence" e.g.

- belonging : the appeal of the gang, the cult is to find acceptance, your tribe, your family. If life has thrown you to the curb and vulnerable, such organisations will take you in.

- guru syndrome : the search for a paternal figure to structure and make sense of the world, to surrender to, to love, to give devotion, to follow, no matter the path

- meaning : a thirst, an existential emptiness, a desperation for life to have a purpose, any purpose

- rationality : extreme groups are often fighting a real injustice and the tactics often have reasoned philosophical basis - we may not like them, may consider them immoral, but they are often more deeply thoughtful than who they fight

- emotion : the injustices are often personally experienced by their adherents, they are angry, they may seek not just redress but revenge, it's a cause which attracts them as a moth to a flame

- stimulation : the dreary day to day, the monotony vs. the thrill of action, the fight or in some cases straight-up sociopathic indulgence
While this is true, your arguments are mainly in favor of writing new code in Swift, which I agree with. What you're missing is selling and convincing people of rewriting existing, working code to a different language, which is a nontrivial investment and a decision that shouldn't be taken lightly.
Because composition would be bad on both.
I'm not sure is it safe to rely documentation on nodejs based software.
In my humble opinion JavaScript world evolves so fast and obsolete so many things that writing reliable software (in term of availability and sustainability) is very very very hard task.
This isn't unique to Apple I'm afraid, so many software projects are like that.

It's quite different.

There's a public log of killed stories, with clickable link intact to the source, available inline to anyone who cares. If it was never posted at all, there would be nothing. Killing it removes the chance for traction and buzz.

If you don't have a hidden motivation (ie, financial or political interest) in driving views to your link, it's not very painful if it doesn't gain traction without being killed, nobody was going to comment anyway.

If there is a hidden motivation to the link, like the torrent of web3 sewage, or information space poisoning actions by foreign powers, as a user I'm actively happy to see them killed.
I will never turn off adblocking,
maybe alternatives will get some extra users now.
Of course this isn't and hasn't been true for quite some time. I'm the first to blast MS Word for being a total disaster (esp. templates, ie. style/substance separation, are bad) but it is no longer a locked-in platform. Even the docx format is only a zipped XML file. If you want, you can unpack the document file and put it into git. Thank you Open Document Foundation!

On top of that, all contemporary word processors I'm aware of have, of course, versioning with diffs. It is just different than git (or other programmer tools.) Just as you are using your tools of your trade and don't know much about MS Word, lawyers use their tools of their trade and don't know much about git. It's like saying that editing POs is superior to Trados, because for a programmer it is but a professional translator is going to tell you a different story.

(Of course, everybody everywhere should be using LaTeX for fine-looking documents in all circumstances. No argument here ;))

I had some potatoes from the Island of Jersey when I was working in kitchens in London, they were incredibly good and paired well with seafood dishes: I had to do some research on a dish my Sous had asked me to create with them and I found out why they were so well matched.

Turns out the Isle of Jersey is often covered in seaweed [0], and they use it extensively in the cultivation of it's potatoes. So even indirectly they are eaten even though things like wakame and kombu are not common outside of fine-dining in London they are still a main-stay of the British diet, well if you Jersey Royals at least.

Anyone can use such a name and maybe even get a trademark filed, but my understanding (IANAL) is that defending their trademark (i.e in court) will be much more difficult. Just a quick search on USPTO.org shows a ton of "X" trademarks and some even relating to social media that aren't Twitter's.

How much popular support does Navalny have in Russia?

(I realize Russia is a banana republic and Navalny is a hero but does he actually represent something that has wide support in Russia? From the few Russians I have talked to, they seems supportive of Putin despite everything.)
I hope they just use the money for more bandwidth and maybe spend it on free api/download access so people can get big chunks of it easily and build all kinds of things (from alert on keyword to just stream of text to finetune models)

The difference, I think, is that Trump's lawyers have committed actual crimes, not just "opposed Putin".
I think it's a reference to how Trump's lawyers keep on getting in trouble.
