It’s not backwards, it’s dysfunctional. I remember my dad telling stories of how in rural Bangladesh, flood control levees would fail and have to be rebuilt each year because they were shoddily made by workers who cut corners. The US is the same way. The DC Metro was built as a fully automated system in the 1970s. That has been shut down since 2009–at the expense of ride quality and frequency—because WMATA let all the associated sensor infrastructure decay.

You also have the option of reporting them to your state banking regulator [1], the CFPB [2], the FDIC [3] and FTC [4].

A polite way to do this is to write a letter to your bank explaining what happened and Cc’ing the regulators. It will tend to get escalated to their legal department and has a chance of forcing policy change (and producing compensation).

This is a very high quality comment and I suspect will capture many parents’ feelings. Something that shocks me, even as an experienced parent, in caring for two small children is how physically and mentally tired I am at the end of the day without having done anything particularly challenging. The level of alertness required to track and monitor several mobile toddlers is quite draining.

Actual mental rest can be quite hard to come by and the need to get parents breaks that are not simply “being at work,” is real. I often get to the end of the day, particularly on weekends, and I realize that I have maybe an hour of downtime to eat and get to bed to achieve a reasonable amount of sleep.

That's ridiculous. I have a similar story with Citibank. I decided to buy an M2 Macbook Pro less than 30 mins before the nearest Apple Store closed. So I ran to the store and, in doing so, forgot to bring my wallet. I figured it wasn't going to be an issue, since I have all my cards on Apple Pay.... but as it turns out, attempting to purchase with any of them resulted in a fraud block.

The Apple rep told me Amex was the worst, so I figured I'd call Citi. The person on the phone said "I've just sent a code to your phone". I got the text, which reads (and I quote): "Citi ID Code: 671865. We'll NEVER call or text for this code". I told him "this text says you'll never call for this code, yet you're on the phone with me asking me to give it to you". He laughed and said "yeah, I know it says that, but you have to read it to me"

I reluctantly read it to him, he unblocked my card, I tried purchasing again and it got blocked again. I ended up having to run home to get my wallet and run back. The Apple rep was kind enough to let back into the store with like a minute left before it closed.

This was ~6 months ago. My Citi app says my card is blocked to this day and that "[they] need to speak urgently with me", yet I can still make purchases with it as if it weren't blocked. I'm letting it linger in this limbo state to debug what happens. I have also never used this card again unless the POS really won't take Amex.
The encryption Chrome uses isn't just some key on disk that can be scooped up. On macOS at least, it's stored in the secure enclave which only signed Chrome binaries can access.

Now all this is pointless due to Chrome allowing remote debugging, but Firefox could come along and do it right and it would actually be an increase in security. A random unsandboxed binary trying to access the key would be blocked by the kernel.

The two have very little to do with each other. What one could say is that higher level functional-like patterns are less idiomatic in Rust, because they abstract away from the low-level control that Rust also provides - which is why Rust chooses to provide, e.g. GAT's as a language feature as opposed to HKT's.

But functional programming is fully supported and lack of GC is not an issue, since you can use Rc<> and Arc<> where needed. (Support for 'pluggable' tracing Gc<> will probably be added at some point, but it will need local allocators, which are not a stable feature yet.)

The article focuses on the development of a long-term strategy for running a university, defining the development of “steeples of excellence” as follows: “The idea is that while a comprehensive university must be competent – or maybe even good – at a lot of things, it has to choose the areas in which it is to be great.”

I thought that this was interesting, as the term is a way for smaller universities to compete with larger ones with more funding and recognition, by consciously outcompeting the bigger players in specific areas. That idea must apply to other areas of life, too.

Interesting work but yes, trying to extrapolate to best courses of action for child care in technologically advanced cultures should not be the focus of the discussion.

Almost every epoch and population will have common and idiosyncratic features. Why not look back on child care 25, 50, 100, 200, 300, or 3000 years ago in any group/deme of humans? The variability will be striking even within any one population and will depend in large part on class structure, rank, and mean family size. Patterns of raising children will be all over physical, social, and behavioral maps.

We can assume from the descriptions that while they've come into contact with beings with meat or meat-like structures as part of them, they've never encountered intelligent beings made of meat. And so they necessarily can't know all that much about the possible states of meat. So your "surely" is canonically wrong.

You can argue they ought to have known about that, but that is based on assuming life like ours is common, and the point of the story is that this is an assumption we're making from a sample of one planet. In the in-story universe it is also canonically doubtful that life like ours in common, given that they clearly know of many other species, and can explore at FTL speeds, and yet still haven't run into one like ours.

To me it feels shallow to criticise a story based on ignoring premises of the universe the story is set in. Criticise the premises, by all means, and argue it doesn't fit our universe. That's fine. That gets you to the point of the story: To get you thinking about why we should assume life like ours is common.

People could accept lower living standards and opt for single income families.

However, people like to compete, for purposes of fulfilling their own ego and attracting a mate. That is why higher income individuals attract other higher income individuals.

Corporations did not make people competitive. People want financial freedom, people want to buy goods and services, and people want to attract a partner per their liking.

I moved to Germany this year from Canada, and I've been incredibly impressed with the speed and aggressiveness with which Germany has been pursuing renewable energy sources[1]. This is great news because it's happening despite the fact that Germany is really not an ideally situated country for any of the major renewable energy sources, so these advances are applicable to other countries in ways that e.g. the experiences in Denmark or South Australia might not.

The buildout of renewable energy sources in Germany has been so widespread and so successful that they're no longer the interesting part of the problem. Now that the electrical grid here is averaging 60-70% renewable electricity in any month of the year, the limiting factors now are energy storage, and long-distance flexible transmission of electricity.

Transmission lines are a not-so-sexy, but totally vital part of running a grid with so much intermittent electricity production that's only accurately forcastable a few days in advance. There's been a lot of HVDC lines build connecting Germany to the UK and various scandinavian countries, but one of the biggest things we're still waiting on is a new link from the north of the country to the south. The south has more solar resources, and the north has more wind resources, so there needs to be way more capacity to share.

Storage is going to be a very hard problem to tackle and has a less clear path forward. Batteries are going to play an important role, but in the near term they're likely only to be valuable for smoothing out supply and demand over a two to three day window.

Something that doesn't get discussed very much though is how much bio-gas Germany generates. German farmer collective, landfill operators, and wastewater operators actually make quite a bit of money by using specialized bacteria to compost organic material and generate methane.

Bio-gas is responsible for around 8-9% of German electricity generation. It's currently used in a very consistent way, with the same amount being burned nearly every hour of every day, but eventually when wind, solar, battery, and HVDC electricity sources are able to take over most day-to-day electricity needs, this bio-gas could instead be stored and used as a backup power source, as well as being sold to industry for hard-to-electrify industrial processes.

Afterall, if all that gas were stored instead of used up immediately, it'd only take 11-12 days of storage to store enough gas to power the whole grid for a day. This is really important, because the amount of solar and wind energy being produced can vary huge amounts from week-to-week.

---------------------

[1] Yes, I know, Germany made a gigantic mistake decomissioning their nuclear reactors early. I strongly disagree with that choice, and I think there's a deeply rooted misunderstanding and fear of nuclear power in this country which is a big shame. Despite this, good progress is being made however.
With respect, I think you're clouding things by trying to defend what is really defensible. Okay then.

> Where do you draw the line?

Drawing the line at native python, not pulling in packages that are written in another language. Packages written in python only are acceptable in this argument.

> But that doesn't mean it can't be productive and performant using these types of strategies to speed up where necessary.

No one said it couldn't. What we're saying is that it pure python is 'slow' and you need to escape from pure python to get the speedups.
> NumPy is a C library with Python frontend

I guess this is a pretty legitimate take, but in that case VectorDB looks like (from the got repo) it makes huge use of libraries like pytorch and numpy.

If numpy is fast but "doesn't count" because the operations aren't happening in python, then I guess VectorDB isn't in python either by that logic?

On the other hand, if it is in Python despite shipping operations out to C/C++ code, then I guess numpy shows that can be an effective approach?
AWS has 30% share of cloud computing.
