Maybe compared to ones that don’t toss mid and late career professionals out like a bag of moldy peaches when some confluence of economical and technological factors makes them inconvenient, no matter if they’ve got kids, or a cancer diagnosis, are supporting lots of relatives, or anything else like that, and then say it’s their fault for not predicting it. Maybe ones that don’t financially ruin people because the hospital they got driven to while unconscious doesn’t take their insurance? That is, if they have it because the insurance that costs more than local mortgages for many? Maybe the places that sentence someone involved in a bank heist orders of magnitude longer sentences than white collar criminals that stole orders of magnitude more money?

There is still melted reactor in the ground, nothing is "cleaned up" we just dont really talk about it. Much like Chernobyl this is going to be a "generational" project for Japan.

Its handling of contaminated materials remains "questionable".

The reason we get less coverage than Chernobyl is that Japan doesn't have its hand out for money and technical support as Ukraine did to get the latest covering built.

This is bullshit. I directly know families in Asia that farm a moderate sized one acre plot without heavy machinery. It is long days of work during planting and harvest but that’s less than 2 months of the year.

Most people don't love anything particularly strongly IMO. They have interests and they exhaust them over time (sometimes, over a long time, if they're too busy to spend too much time on an interest). People who actually love something, i.e. spend a lot of time on it over decades, are rare.
> Unity is pretty much the only other game in town that isn't C++

Even Unity compiles .NET IL down to C++, and then compiles that with a regular compiler to target platforms which don't have a .NET runtime or don't allow JIT compilation. That's more of an implementation detail but it shows how engrained C++ is that the path of least resistance was to use C++ as a compilation target. I think much of the private engine internals are also still straight C++.

Wrong again - using my example, when I was looking at that chat, there were two people in the last few hours asking for other new players to play with them.

(And also one much more experienced player complaining that "nobody is reading the rules", and getting pushback about some "mandatory" rule that I guess some very experienced players are used to, but "we are not all as good at the game as you, bud".)

And this doesn't even take into account motivating your family/friends to play with you, there was one dad+son looking for tech support and at least one another dad+son game going on.
This is a very good paper. The effect size is quite significant (>60% speed-up for ageing).

I will reiterate: Correlation does not imply causation. The next step is to look for root causes.

* Air pollution is correlated with traffic is correlated with carbon monoxide.

* Air pollution is correlated with dirty areas is correlated with water population.

* Air pollution is correlated with city (rather than rural) life which is correlated with spending time in-doors.

... and so on. My experience is that nine times out of ten, a paper like this does not point to a root cause, but is rather the start of detective work to figure out what's actually going on.

That first clue is essential. The problem is the media than picks up on this and says PM2.5 == blindness, and we waste a bunch of resources on something which usually does not turn out to be a significant effect.

(As a footnote: PM2.5 is significant enough for many other things that I recommend every room have a basic air filter, or for once with forced air, a furnace filter with a high MERV rating. However, I don't recommend people spend a lot here.)

You're missing the point. The car comment was a bit of a tongue in cheek joke about an unfinished sky scraper being ugly and your car isn't offensive when plenty of people on Reddit find your car offensive.

My point is that lawlessness breeds more lawlessness. I see it myself, when im in a neighborhood that's pristine, I act accordingly. I remember in Tokyo waiting for a walk to cross when there were no cars nearby or queuing to get on the subway, something unthinkable in NYC.

Laws should be reasonable (e.g. littering, vandalism, can't tag other people's property) and widely enforced. We should condeme lawlessness without consideration of the victim and offending party
https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Snag,+Yukon+Y0B+1G0,+Canada/...

The above is the Google Earth view of the area. Interestingly you can still see the (former) airstrips from the satellite view; just south of the point at Snag and slightly north of Aishihik; they were part of the Northwest Staging route.

Since the plane radio'ed in at Snag but failed to check in at Aishihik, in theory it would have crashed somewhere between those two points. The biggest lake between those points is Wellesley Lake, depth 65 feet. Might also be on land, anyone good at Where's Waldo?
I _think_ those line of responses mainly come from the belief that because .NET versions since Core 1.0 has gone cross-platform that there is some expectation that the first-party GUI solutions would apply on platforms that have official ports of the runtime; and that since Microsoft is a behemoth then surely they could do it.

On a tangent and I also don't know how others would view this, but I personally think that trivial desktop applications have or will have moved on to solutions like (but not exactly server-sided) Phoenix Liveview or Blazor Server. No real need to bother with multi-platform solutions when there's already one the end user uses daily and is battle tested. The case of applications needing the usage of a GPU likes games aside that is.

Any explanation on how to keep data safe?

Start by not using an unknown provider with questionable reliability or stability where the only contact is an email address.
I wear my Apple Watch for hiking. But I have almost all notifications disabled, I don't really care about quantified self sort of data, voice input isn't reliable enough, etc. The tradeoffs mostly aren't there vs. a watch that tells me the time and I never need to charge.
I agree but however Miami already has decent transit for the city itself. It isn't comprehensive by any means but it's enough to make leaving your car at the local train station and commuting in viable for a lot of people.

What is missing in the area however are fast, cheap intercity links (until now) and more importantly fast, reliable commuter rail. Brightline (and hopefully soon to follow Tri-rail) rolling out fast, regular commuter rail to the lower third of the Florida peninsula would mean that south Florida would have rail transit viability (and range) comparable to the NYC metro area (which is probably the best "no car" metro in the US at the moment).

> modules-linearise-the-build-graph problem

Modules don't linearise the build graph. Any independent modules are compiled in parallel, but dependents will wait for these modules to be compiled.

In fact the problem is the other way round: header-translation unit compilation does a ton of unnecessary repetitive copy-pasting and parsing in the name of achieving embarrassingly parallel compilation. IMO modules help express build and API dependencies clearer, and even despite the so-called loss of parallelisation, build times with modules are generally an order of magnitude faster.

An extreme example is Vulkan-Hpp, which has a module interface file[1], and header files that exceed 150K lines of code, cumulatively. Using these headers means even a simple example takes something like 20+ seconds to compile every time. This is even worse when using complicated standard headers like `<algorithm>`, `<functional>`, `<ranges>`, etc.

On the other hand, using the module, the compile only takes as long the first time, and every subsequent compile is lightning-quick.

The second amendment doesn't guarantee an unrestricted right to sell guns and isn't even really interpreted as an absolute and unlimited ability to own then these days. Furthermore, the abusive ways to use guns to the detriment of others are inherently illegal and don't scale. If the right to sell medicine were absolute, thalidomide couldn't have been barred from the US market or subsequently pulled and probably would've been laced with nicotine or heroin to make sure people keep buying it. But maybe that wouldn't have been a problem because it would be lost in a sea of snake oil.
I had an Atari 520ST in about 1998 and was always envious of friend's Amigas.

In retrospect instead of switching to PC next, I wish I had switched to an Acorn RISC PC.

Email means I got access to your device or something you’ve configured to be able to send email, which is probably a lot of servers unless you have an entire domain dedicated to financial messages everyone knows not to trust any other domains.

A message signature means I got you to do something like tap a Yubikey and enter a PIN, touch a fingerprint sensor, etc. That can still be socially engineered, of course, but it can’t happen by accident and you could add some safeguards against routine by having a dedicated “major transactions” key used only for that purpose to add a physical speed bump.

The problem is that “ignore my gmail, I list my phone” will defeat that training more often than we’d like, so you really need to have process safeguards which make it a requirement and management backing to say even the CEO will follow the lost device process rather than asking someone to bypass process, and that has to be so carefully enshrined that nobody questions whether their job is on the line if they tell the real CFO that they can’t bypass the process.

That’s actually sort of a myth. If you work on a farm, there are a few very intense parts of the year, but most days are otherwise prep work and maintenance and you can actually wrap up fairly early and manage your own schedule. What sucks about farming is thin margins and how a bad crop can wipe you out.

Possibly different on a factory farm that maximises production every day but that’s not really what you’re referring to.

This comes from personal experience working on productive small farms.
Not at all. You can figure out how to configure one yourself with a few hours reading on /r/CPAP or watching YouTube. Source: myself after trying to acquire one and get it configured for months through a similar bureaucratic nightmare as the article.

Outside of the small caveat that his first line could be better (which is what all future engineers will read while scanning commit messages), like I said, at worst, it doesn't hurt.

I like this level of detail, whether it is at the commit, PR, or ticket level. If one of my guys did this same write-up for this same problem, especially one of my junior guys, I would have patted them on the back and told them they did a great job - because you wouldn't want to discourage them from doing more of this kind of write-up in the future.

But here, we can be a little bit more honest, and the truth is, that the problem he solved was trivial, so this kind of detail is overkill for that problem. Once find that the config file has unprintable non-ascii character, immediately you know most parsers would blow chunks on that - and there is only one fix - remove the problem character. So succinctly tell me the error you saw, tell me the character, and if you know tell me HOW it got in there (which is probably the most important detail that isn't in the write-up so this could be prevented in the future) - and that's enough because if in the future another engineer does a ticket/commit search for this error in our bug tracker, hopefully these details will show up immediately.
lol I felt that last part

I had a business trying to get an institutional trading account, and all these compliance officers kept the application in limbo for a year

finally the exchange’s general counsel or someone maybe even the CFO said I needed to show my company’s AML/KYC policy.

I have my lawyer draft a comprehensive AML/KYC policy.

I told the financial institution that my legal counsel had prepared our "ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING AND “KNOW YOUR CUSTOMER” PROCEDURES Which should fulfill all of your company’s compliance goals”

And apparently that contained the magic words because they approved the account instantly, after being in account creation limbo for an entire year, they never even asked for or looked at the document
I didn't think I'd find my Apple watch very useful, but it actually is. In situations where it may be awkward to take out (or even carry) your phone, the watch can act as a mini-phone. Going on runs without a phone is very liberating, while retaining the ability to track your run and stream music to Airpods. It does a decent job of tracking pool swims as well, thanks to being waterproof.

Not life-changing, but adding enough convenience to be worth it.

I guess you could always get into a situation where you manage a farm that exhausts all your available time.

But work is indeed seasonal, and I doubt you'd actually be able to be so effective that you don't have any free time at all. (And if you manage that, presumably you'll be a rather rich farmer...)

Also, in many places, there's nothing much to do in the winter except stay inside the house around a warm fire and try not to freeze. Yes you could take on some other work using the light from the fireplace as well... but did everyone actually exert themselves so much that they didn't have a single day of rest? I really doubt it and it's more likely it's a tale told by capitalists to scare us into being grateful for being employed.

PS: much of Europe also observed the Sabbath too, so there's also at least one day off per week.

For runners and other athletes (depending on the sport), it seems fairly useful. I struggle to think of other use cases that justify it.

Obviously, a smart watch is strictly better than a regular watch in the sense that it has more features, but I think the downside of having to charge it so regularly makes the value-add not worth it. I am always sad about the downfall of Pebble watches, because the e-ink screens were excellent and gave you a watch that rarely needed to be charged and still gave the benefits of a smart watch (however small they may be).
