Again, that can go in the PR body or in subsequent lines. You have ~50 characters in that first line, which is never going to be enough to fully explain anything.

I'm also not suggesting that you eliminate the PR body: that should also include more context. All I'm suggesting is that taking the trouble to organize your commits into discrete units helps reviewers to understand how you perceive the various changes in a single PR as being related to one another, and no amount of text in the PR body will provide the same benefit as being able to look at several distinct diffs containing related changes.

Can't Finland register the whole FI prefix as institution "Finland"? If other countries' institutions need to know the actual institution, well... it wouldn't be the first time two countries had conflicting requirements, and politicians had to get together and yell at each other a bunch and suddenly a law was passed to solve it.
Do you think it's bad if the U.S. prosecutes Brazilian spies who spy on U.S. organizations? Shouldn't we care whether the things that the justice system is punishing people for are things that are actually good or bad? (I mean, I guess your intuition probably says "no, not really"!)

I think if it's wrong we shouldn't do it (because we shouldn't do things that are wrong), and if it's not wrong we shouldn't punish other people for doing it (because we shouldn't punish people for doing things that are not wrong). Yes, this is exactly attempting to apply personal morality to the "international system". Which is made up of people who make conscious decisions about how to behave toward other people.
MISRA C is godawful, really bad. It is just a bunch of rules that "sound good" or are good in theory, but I doubt that they actually improve quality at all.

I once worked on a gigantic code base that religiously followed the "no early return" rule. Instead of just returning an error code, everything saved flags and used nested ifs galore.

The code wound along the screen like a dying snake, horizontal scrolling everywhere even with a widescreen monitor.

Refactoring was utterly impossible, fixing simple bugs took months.

I am still baffled how all my colleagues just went along with it and never were like: Wait a second! This is awful!

It's interesting. I have seen rating systems work – in the military. They're harsh to some, but in some situations, you have to filter out B and C players to keep the A players alive. I do think transparent systems w/360º peer reviews are better than many others. I wonder what else is out there that might work.

Ugh, I had a recruiter approach me a couple of years ago to work for some company that had a "radical openness" culture or something like that. The idea was supposedly that everyones ideas were valid and hierarchy didn't matter and that everyone should challenge anything no matter who they were in the organisation.

The way they sold it sounded a bit culty to me, and the potential for abusive behaviour seemed high. Didn't make me want to work for them.
I agree it's a bad attitude! And as someone who is (happily) married, I still do my best to stay in shape.

this is a good solution but doesn't protect the face. zinc oxide (physical sunscreen) is a good choice for the face that doesn't have the problems in the article.

Of course, zinc oxide looks terrible - white hue - but there are some that are not as bad as others. I use Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Kids (roll-on, so adults and kids can use it easily). After a little rubbing, it's still noticeable but just barely. The "regular" neutrogena sunblock - lotion style - has one or more of the chemicals that break down into benzene. Some of them were in the FDA recall. The EWG article doesn't mention these break down into benzene. It shoulld. ConsumerLabs did a thorough review and analysis.

The summer 2023 Consumer Reports (not ConsumerLabs) article on sunscreen had absolutely no mention of the sunscreen recalls (2021, 2022, 2023) and in fact recommended some products that had been recalled and are known to break down into benzene and benzophenone. Any residual respect I had for them is now gone.

Thus, the "extraordinary steps" I mentioned. Some have argued the executive has the authority to do any conceivable thing necessary to ensure that the "validity of the public debt ... shall not be questioned," to include ordering the Fed to honor Treasury overdrafts.

Another extraordinary step by the Treasury would be minting legal tender and depositing it with the Fed. The so called "trillion dollar coin" scheme.

At the end of the day they'll do what they have to do. This story makes it very clear that the Fed is not interested in becoming the political target over US default, so don't imagine they're going to take some heroic stand.

> We can get a pretty good idea of what's going on in important markets with publicly available information.

How can you possibly know that, are you claiming to be privy to the forecasts generated by the information gathered by US spies? Further, as stated later, spying is the status quo, if spying stopped wholesale wouldn't keeping information private be significantly more valuable?

> Reason 1 . . . literally any spying could be justified this way.

I don't give a solitary care about the spying a foreign government does. Why should I? They don't have jurisdiction over me. I care about what it does with that intel, but that is completely separate, which gets us to your Reason 2.

> Essentially anything that's outside of the status quo is suddenly classified as a risk. Basically our spy agencies' jobs become protecting the entrenched interests of those already in power

No, that isn't the job of spies, they gather intelligence. You are confusing other government actions with spying.

> Reason 3

Again, do you have some sort of inside track on the DoD(or some other 3 letters)? You have concocted a hypothetical about a Joe Shmoe, being caught in a dragnet filter. Is that actually a real problem? Or just a hypothetical about where this slippery slope goes.

Overall I think the burden of proof is on the group who wants to go against the status quo; nations constantly spy on one another. Justify why we shouldn't spy, rather than pointing out it's pitfalls.

There is no "we as a society decide". No one in their right mind would argue that the government widely acts in the favor of those who elect it, especially in terms of revenue collecting and spending. The government decides and the government mostly has its own agendas.

Yet now the correct choice is supposed to be made in regard to property ownership social "harm", using taxes as the specific tool to correct it?

If the government, or "we as a society", can't directly justify their goal being enforced via restrictive law then enforcing the goal via taxation isn't democratically justified (ie: an incentive provided for the tax collecting gov).

>no more of these halfbaked tax reform ideas.

Why would US citizens be in favor of tax reform? What a crazy idea that has zero historical precedent.
To be fair to them, "It's a flame retardant" is a very common argument against the use of BVA. It's a bad argument that has the same level of merit (none) as "It's a chemical," but it's certainly a common argument.

BVA has other health and safety concerns that do justify the ban... But it doesn't have the same shock-value as telling someone they're drinking flame retardant. I suspect that's why most of the online discussion misses the health effects and focuses on the more shocking claim.

Unfortunately, thanks to surveillance capitalism, everyone is "uniquely vulnerable". You can never know which of the billions of data points that make up your dossier could make someone target you. Your political views, your religion, your employer, your sexual preferences, your genetics, any of it, however inaccurate or outdated, can make you a target to someone and all that data never goes away.

Hostile foreign powers are a problem, but so are hostile domestic extremists along with a large population of the mentally ill who over the last century have gone from being abused to being ignored, which means that while most of the mentally ill are harmless, nobody is keeping an eye on the ones who aren't. Not even after they get repeatedly reported to authorities by concerned family members (Robert Card, Ethan Crumbley, Orlando Harris, etc).
That's not what Go does though. Go looks at the population of the CPU mask at startup. It never looks again, which of problematic in K8s where the visible CPUs may change while your process runs.
The impedance mismatch comes as a result of needing workarounds for database implementations that exhibit high query latency in order to see the execution finish in a reasonable amount of time.

It has the disadvantage that the reactor is only going to run when there is very bright sunlight. Might be more desirable for applications in space where you have sunlight 24 hours.

There's also the question of what kind of system it is embedded in. Typically people have made a CO + H2 syngas using pyrolysis of coal or rubber tires or municipal waste or something like that. You could make methane out of that or make gasoline or diesel compatible fuels, not to mention just about any chemical feedstock you need:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C1_chemistry

The "water shift" and "reverse water shift" reactions are about what to do if your ratio of CO and H2 are wrong for what you are trying to make so you can basically turn CO into H2 or vice versa. That reactor looks like it would make pure CO without any H2 so if you didn't have an H2 source you could use the energy in the CO to split water and make H2 ("water shift") Similarly an e-Fuel factory might primarily have an electrolizer that makes H2 and you would use the reverse water shift to turn some CO2 into CO.

Not accurate IMO. It's marketing a feature for giant users like YouTube and GitHub as important for everyone. Neon and sqlite are winning from my perspective. The BlueSky move to thousands of sqlite databases should inspire similar architectures in other apps.

I only wrote a little MISRA-C code, but IIRC we had a process to get waivers which was fairly reasonable I think.

Changing posession of personal user data from a financial asset to a liability is probably the most effective thing the government could do in the near term to protect people's information. Companies right now are incentivized to collect tons of personal data because it's worth real money to them and others, and the liabilities mostly fall to the users. If there were heavy financial consequences to leaking personal data then companies would self regulate away a lot of terrible behavior that is currently common.

> this is exactly attempting to apply personal morality to the "international system"

I can do that. Nobody should lie, it's wrong. So, as long as every nation stops lying, they can stop spying too. Easy Peasy.

> Shouldn't we care whether the things that the justice system is punishing people for are things that are actually good or bad?

Absolutely. Which is why usually friendly-nation spies don't seem to get in trouble. Take a look at this list,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_imprisoned_spies

I think lying/misrepresenting is bad and very harmful, however I also think it is human nature, and spying helps to alleviate that information asymmetry.

There isn't one answer for this. Capping GOMAXPROCS may cause severe latency problems if your process gets a burst of traffic and has naive queueing. It's best really to set GOMAXPROCS to whatever the hardware offers regardless of your ideas about how much time the process will use on average.

To purchase a firearm from a store or any "licensed" individual (someone who has an FFL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Firearms_License) you must pass a background check done by the FBI. You can read more here: https://www.fbi.gov/how-we-can-help-you/more-fbi-services-an...

If you buy a gun from someone on a classifieds site or friend/family, in most states you don't have to get a background check to transfer ownership of the firearm. This is typically the "loophole" that people refer to when they want Universal Background Checks.

I'm not sure what you mean by buying illegally - whether you mean to someone prohibited from owning firearms (like a felon or something), or buying "illegal" guns... Either way there are usually stiff penalties for owning restricted devices. For example if I were to 3D print an auto-sear for an AR-15 (making it full-auto), that's a ticket to a 10 year sentence in federal prison. Assuming I don't have the permission slip from the ATF. As for prohibited persons buying a firearm, I'm not sure what the penalties are, but at the least it'd be a violation of their release?

> Over the years 2011 to 2015, they studied the structure using seismic tomography, electrical resistivity tomography and ground-penetrating radar.

This has absolutely nothing to do with assessing the age of the site. I believe them that it's a complex structure with likely underground sites. I do not believe them that it's 25,000 years old.

The age claim is based entirely on radiocarbon dating of organic soils found at the site. The idea seems to be that the humans dug up topsoil containing living roots and recently-dead plant matter (all with atmospheric C14) and used that to build the pyramid, therefore the pyramid must be as old as the organic matter in the soil. There are numerous problems with this.

First, they're assuming the organic matter must be contemporary with the human activities. But if you're building a massive pyramid, surely it's reasonable to dig down to get your soil? The further down they dig, the older the organic matter in the soil would be. They discuss how they handle the possibility of contamination with newer organics, but never seem to discuss how they controlled for contamination from older organics.

Second, they're assuming that all human activity in the area must have been related to the building of the pyramid. It's certainly possible that the pyramid was built on a site that had human activity since 25,000. That is not the same as the structure itself dating back to that time. They do not seem to consider this possibility.

> Organic soil samples obtained from the drill cores and the trenching walls were meticulously selected for 14C dating analysis. These organic samples were believed to contain traces of bio-organic activities during and after the construction phases. However, it is essential to consider potential sources of contamination, such as older carbon sources or recent bio-organism activities, which could impact the dating results.

Their entire argument for the age of the pyramid rests entirely on the sentence "These organic samples were believed to contain traces of bio-organic activities during and after the construction phases." -- they were believed to? Why?
