You say "You should read more about how cows are fed and raised before forming opinions." And you shouldn't assume you know everything about strangers on the internet. I'm no rancher, but I'm quite familiar with cattle production. Growing up in rural Missouri I took part in most aspects of it.

You seem to be arguing against something other than my comment. "Also, all cattle are grass-fed for some of their lives"...yes...as I stated "Most steaks come from cattle started on grass and finished on corn"

There are certainly large swaths of the world where cattle production can be regenerative to the ecosystem, but not enough to support the demand. Meeting the world's increasing appetite for beef as developing nations adopt the dietary habits of wealthier nations is turning into an environmental catastrophe.

Minor note: this is somewhat outdated. They've determined now it's more like 4-6 hours before it causes any damage at all.

But yea faster than 6-10 hours that's for sure. I bet if you went into that ER with an average time of 9 hrs and a tq stamped hour ago on your arm, they'd get you in pretty fast though. Triage is still a thing
it doesn't matter. as long as there is a rate mismatch over a sufficiently long timescale, queues will build up and consume memory, latency will increase, and depending on how things are structured overall throughput will go down because of scheduling overhead and memory pressure.

this is actually an inherent problem _within_ horizontally scaled services that have cross dependencies.

so no, you should really implement backpressure.
Yeah, thanks for reminding me. That is a nice suggestion.
Consider peeling away the layers-

Problem: how do I feed myself and my family and community good food, and ensure adequate shelter?

Solution: working with your family and community, take care of your natural resources in a large enough area to sustain you (and also accepting that your population will be regulated by the carrying capacity of the land and water), and practice ways to sustain yourselves for generations.

Doing this in a healthy way, together, is meaningful and likely to lead to a peaceful death with no regrets. If you really don't care about the money, consider activism. I'd say your chances at lasting impact are greater in the existential realm. Who is going to care about Facebook or Twitter in a century? With a strong oral tradition, your community's descendants may care about your leadership during catastrophic climate change.

As an atheist parent being forced consider Catholic faith schools out of sheer necessity, this is far from a help. This is geographical blackmail. I have seen teaching material, and it is subtly biased towards Catholicism. Spending valuable contact hours on Religious Education is a waste of time. I will respect my child’s choice if they find religion as an adolescent/adult, but I do not respect an organisation that depends on indoctrinating 5 year olds and filter-feeding on the local inhabitants.

Hello fellow tri-cities resident. I probably know you :)

Can't say I disagree with much. Though my interactions with Niswonger Children's Hopsital have been great. Ballad itself? not so much.
Crash Bandicoot is a VERY different game from Ocarina Of Time. They are not comparable at all. They literally had to limit the field of view in order to get anything close to what they were targeting. Have you played the two games? The point still stands, Zelda with its vast open worlds is not feasible on a CD based console that has a max transfer rate of 300KB/s and the latency of an iceberg.
Kept the site invite only during some turbulent times on Twitter. I think that strategy was a huge misfire.
I don't do hard drugs and I still think decriminalizing drugs might be helpful, because I think people often do drugs because they're feeling pain and shame, and I don't think punishing them for doing drugs alleviates the pain and shame.

Now, if you want to criminalize drugs but focus on rehabilitation rather than punishment, I'd probably be more aligned with it.
The wait to get you out is, imo, purely due to understaffing.

Pragmatic drag and drop: A fast and flexible drag and drop framework for the web
Hi everyone,

I am the author of `react-beautiful-dnd`, and I am happy to share about a new project we have released: Pragmatic drag and drop.

Pragmatic drag and drop is low level drag and drop framework for the web that is designed to enable fast drag and drop for any experience on any tech stack (react, svelte, vue) or just plain old vanilla javascript.

- Github repo: https://github.com/atlassian/pragmatic-drag-and-drop
- Documentation: https://atlassian.design/components/pragmatic-drag-and-drop
- Announcement tweet: https://twitter.com/alexandereardon/status/17727975623593414...

Cheers!
There's no doubt that a lot of free sites were put there because it gave something to the creator. Maybe it gave them an ego boost, maybe they felt a sense of accomplishment for creating something that became popular, or they got warm fuzzies from sharing something with others that they have a passion for.

Free internet sites that don't exploit users don't require pure altruism. I assume nobody is paying you to contribute to this site, and I assure you that I'm not being paid for it, yet here we are. Sharing and offering something without hurting anyone or taking from them.
I was at ER today for an ear infection due to high pain, sudden onset, and urgent care wait of 6 hrs. Waited 20 min.

Sometimes it's the best option.
Wouldn't your approach be 100% covered by current type implementation ?

As a workflow, if every time you create a new spreadsheet you first define all the column types and constraints, you're in the world you're describing. Passing around that spreadsheet would also keep these settings as long as it's not converted and everyone's version is compatible.

That means you get the best of both worlds: people who care about strict types can be as strict as they want, other people can benefit from auto conversions.

Thats just really not true. Many of the most vocal advocates for decriminalization of drugs are people who have managed to get clean. There are also many people who have lost loved ones who have seen the statistics from more successful programs like Portugal's and want to save other people from the fate that befell their loved ones.
30 dBi means that much reduction from every other direction, unless you're doing active beam forming.

So which directions you excluding?
Your issue is that you're using the default (old) binding to GDAL, based on Fiona [0].

You need to use pyogrio [1], its vectorized counterpart, instead. Make sure you use `engine="pyogrio"` when calling `to_file` [2]. Fiona does a loop in Python, while pyogrio is exclusively compiled. So pyogrio is usually about 10-15x faster than fiona. Soon, in pyogrio version 0.8, it will be another ~2-4x faster than pyogrio is now [3].

>Living inside some of these small wasps was another even tinier, rarer parasite, a “hyperparasitoid” wasp known as Mesochorus cf. stigmaticus. It kills the parasitic wasp around the same time as the wasp kills the caterpillar, and emerges 10 days later from the caterpillar’s carcass.

Based on comments elsewhere two police cars were able to block traffic with mere seconds before the impact. There was a construction crew on the bridge repairing potholes so the police may have already been nearby related to that.

Only that last feature seems relevant IMO.

I think that the rest of the points you brought up are cultural problems and therefore not in the purview of legality
1. Cross out the upper left corner, the one that says "trade in". You're not trading in your old car. You're selling it private party for more money.

2. Cross out the lower right corner, the one that says "monthly payment". You're not taking out a loan. You're paying cash.

3. Cross out the lower left corner, the one that says "down payment", and write 100%. You're not taking out a loan. You're paying cash.

4. All that's left is the price of the car. That is what you negotiate. (Although -- be careful about add-ons such as the $2000 rustproofing.)

Some dealers won't take cash, because it eliminates their ability to engage in deception. If you encounter such a dealer, walk out. If they refuse to let you walk out, call the police.

Tip: you can avoid 100% of dealer nonsense and idiocy by buying a car without going through a dealer. For new cars in the US, the only way to pull this off is to buy from Tesla or a few other boutique EV carmakers. The vast majority of carmakers have no sales channels for new cars other than dealers. You could of course always choose to buy a used car and avoid buying them from dealers.

I found it interesting that he wasn't allowed to read the obits themselves, so wouldn't even know if the subject was a human or dog. One might argue some distancing helps for these kinds of moderation jobs, but also sounds dehumanizing to not have any context at all.

Also of note is that he spent a lot of time keeping the comments "safe and sugarcoated", even deleting comments referencing "family fallouts and estrangement". There's such a strange culture around sanitizing people's images after their death and pretending they were angels. Some people were legitimate pieces of shit in life, and silencing those harmed by them in the interest of being politically correct sounds unfair to me. Caring only about letting their supporters grieve without having to think about the deceased's complexities, while for example, preventing those who were abused by them from voicing their thoughts seems to want to preserve order by sweeping anything unseemly under the rug.
On one hand: social media preys on people of all ages to collect precious data points, know your habits, sell your profile to advertisers which then is used to deliver “targeted ads”. The algorithm then picks up on your habits, and recommends shit you would interact with. The more you interact with “x” content, the more the algorithm tests you with related content or worse (ie, anti abortion ads, aLpHa MaLe content, “own the libz”, “let’s Go BrAnDoN”). Echo chambers formed. The country becomes further divided. Adversaries of the US inch closer to disrupting a “super power” as the country implodes from within (it nearly happened on January 6th, 2021).

Social media is like a drug. And should be treated as such. I would kind of support this legislation.

BUT, at the same time. Why is the state government mandating this? Where are the parents? Maybe they are also dazed by the drug of social media. ItS jUsT aN aPp, mentality. Yet what they don’t realize is these companies spend billions of dollars to fine tune the algorithm to build profiles on all of their users. Focus grouped to help. Decades of psychology used against the mind of a pre-teen, elderly, or the uneducated. They stand no chance.

I’m also concerned at where this stops. First its to protect the children. Then it progresses to full blown censorship of the internet (ie, “Great (fire) Wall of china”). The so called “small government party” is pushing this as well, which is concerning.

Francis Scott Key wrote the Star-Spangled Banner, which later became the US national anthem, while gazing across this same Patapsco river in the morning after a battle and saw that the flag was "still there". On the morning of March 26, 2024, the Bridge in his name was no longer there. Sad.

The bridge stood for 47 years and 3 days (17170 days) before destroyed by a trade ship from Asia headed for Indian waters. The tragedy occured when the engine of the tradeship failed resulting in it being adrift until colliding with the bridge.

The Key bridge collapsed 209 years after its namesake wrote the Star-Spangled Banner. The embarrassed tradeship had been christened Dali: a name famous from the Spanish surrealist painter known for depicting melting clocks, not bridges.
I will give you the best tip to not get ripped off when buying a car: do not buy from a dealership.

The dealer has a staff of people who rip people off all day every day and have experience doing so for years. They have an established process. They have money and time. They have perfected the art of extracting all of the value out of a deal.

You likely buy a car once every N years. You may be okay at negotiating. You may even be good. I guarantee with 99.999% certainty that you are not as good as the dealership by the simple fact that you do it hundreds of times less frequently than they do.

Instead, buy a car on Craiglist. Figure out a car that you want - there are approximately 1000 video reviews for each make and model of car released in the past 20 years on Youtube. Use that to narrow down what you want. Then check the price benchmarking sites like Truecar and KBB for a rough estimate of what you'll expect to pay. Then start to scan FB marketplace and Craigslist for listings. Look for private party (e.g. random people selling their cars), ignore the dealer listings. Be prepared to look at a few cars. Go schedule test drives. If you seriously are interested in a car and think the price is right, pay for a Carfax report. If that is clean (no accidents, not repeatedly registered in different states[sign of concealing accidents]), call around to a few local mechanics and ask them to do a Pre-Purchase inspection. Should be about $150. They will do a basic inspection to ensure the car doesn't have any obvious issues. If that's clean, make an offer on the car.

By doing this you will pay ~10-15% less than a comparable car from a dealer. Literally nothing in this process requires any special technical or automotive expertise. If you want to be a bit more sophisticated you can buy an OBDII scanner from amazon for $20 and check the codes yourself to further suss out issues. It does take a reasonably more amount of time (call it a month for a motivated buyer) than the dealer. If your time is so valuable, you need a car today or you can't be bothered to do the legwork, then going to a dealer is okay - you'll just pay more.

I'm sure a bunch of people will rush in and talk about how you can get screaming deals at the end of the month, with certain incentives, asking for quotes from a bunch of dealers, blah blah blah. This is true, however it's risky because it's complicated (way more complicated than buying private party) and error prone on your part. You will have to understand the (reasonably) complex incentive structure for dealers, which of course varies by manufacturer. Shopping around is theoretically very good but post COVID my experience with dealer salespeople is that the moment they get the sense you have any sophistication, your emails or calls go straight to the memory hole. There are more than enough people that are easier to deal with than you, so they don't need to talk to you.

In summary, when dealing with car salesmen, the original LLM has some sage wisdom "A strange game. The only winning move is not to play."

I can assure you that emergency room triage is not “overrated”.
Still CSV is 2x smaller than GPKG with this kind of data. And CSV.gz is 7x smaller.
I always walk in saying "let's assume no trade-in, no down payment, just talk raw car price with me, assume I can pay in cash, then we'll talk about the rest"

This lets me actually have 1 number to focus on and negotiate on, and walk out on. I always say "I'll be back in an hour" and really use that hour to think it over and come to approximately what the price will be.

If you get a 6 year loan, you can do the math dividing it up yourself and then worry about interest later. It's not thaaaat much.

Now. Once you settled on a price, start talking trade-in. The reality is if you know the value of your car on other sites, you generally know what they'll offer. Even with removal of taxes, you can easily calculate how much it is worth. Basically if you get more than $500 more for your car elsewhere, it is worth it.

And now the down payment and interest rate are kinda irrelevant. Their goal is to mess with those but not budge on the value of the car. But since you already did that... Now when you talk interest rates, always reject theirs, then take the next number and basically lower it by a percent. Get them REALLY CLOSE and just force that. The reality is that they ABSOLUTELY have wiggle room within the %. They'll usually try to make cash on you via an extra % or 2. So if they offer you 7% they can easily offer you 4.5%.

The down payment doesn't matter. It is just whatever you put in takes off from the remaining price.

You're welcome! Basic answer: $250/h + benefits and 4 days/week "off". Plus, working in the ER at night is the most fun job I've ever had or probably ever will have. (Programming is second.)

Despite this, I plan to pivot to my telemedicine business full-time within the next year. I know I am not invincible and the older I get, the more mistakes I am likely to make and the more working nights will become a risk factor for heart disease, diabetes, and the like. Plus, working nights wreaks havoc on the family, but it's the only option to work stable days each week in the ER. (Ie, most ER docs either work all nights or work a random rotating schedule of first, second, and third shifts.)
Australian faith based schools cover all faiths, not just Christian ones. Where a madrassa isn't established some Islamic kids go to catholic schools out of parental choice, their monotheism is at least partially respected.

State schools are meant to be mostly agnostic/athiest except they can run R.E. classes but local staff can (and do) proselytise, and State authorities do little about it.

R.E. classes are a factionalism nightmare and ecumenical teaching is scant. Satanists don't get much lookin.

Laws are in draft to try and settle a decades old battle around equal opportunity and human rights, teachers who are gay, students who are gay, to what extent a religious school can enforce belief and behaviour in staff and pupils and its a fiery debate.

There have been horrific historical and recent abuse issues in faith schooling here, bound up in state interventions for single mothers, Aboriginal displacement, reliance on nuns and monks, establishment refusal to confront abusive behaviour. A notorious instance was a Jewish school head who groomed students, got found out, absconded to Israel and was defended by politically astute religious to avoid extradition for years. She did finally get done. Anglican and catholic schools have also had significant problems.
Anecdotal/inference. I've seen quite a few posts on Twitter of people who were let go from high-paying/high-ranking positions surprised they've had trouble finding their next gig, too.
When you'd be expected to stand under it while the local army/militia marched over it, incentives tended to align quite handily.
Speaking as someone who implemented UNECE features on ECU's, UNECE basically requires signed binaries on update, some sort of secure authentication for the vendor when entering elevated privilege and a hash on stored on different entity flash content to "authenticate" the integrity. The last one is silly in my view, the other ones are kind of reasonable, the main problem is that you have very small MCU's that have constrained resources. Implementing ECDSA on some 16 bit MCU can prove hairy in some cases or even impossible in others.

The MCU's used in these systems are very often pushed to the limit with resource consumption hovering at 80% of flash and RAM. Ram is usually from then to hundreds of kilobytes. Bigger systems could be retrofitted with some effort. Small systems you need to redesign, highly likely having to replace them MCU. Highly likely you'll have to then redesign the whole board layout. At that point you're essentially just doing a new ECU and we'll... For previously existing lines of products it's probably not worth it.

There are probably _some_ options though if you get creative. I'd honestly suggest killing the software update capabilities of established lines, then the UNECE class can be switched to something that doesn't require these things and call it a day?
Insanely cool!
