> Child support is a percentage of your pay, so it has nothing to do with poverty. So that just leaves people who are bad with money management.

Ohio's minimum wage is $10.45/hr, $21,600/year. With one minor child, the state will require ~$2,000/year in child support (processed for an additional 2% charge).

ADP's net pay calculator says that that will mean you take home $365 a week. $1,400 a month after your child support comes out.

Saying "it has nothing to do with poverty" isn't exactly accurate, either.

> Child support is not some tax or fee or fine. It pays for food and shelter for children.

Wait til you hear about states where the man can be on the hook for child support for a child that isn't his because he "acted as a parent" (because he didn't know this). Sure would seem like a tax or fee or fine to me if that was the case.
Might be better to do it with a pollution tax. Punish losers but don't mandate a winner, you know.
And the courts typically take that into account. It’s not unusual for someone convicted of a crime to be allowed to use a car for work, and work only as a condition of the sentence.
I deleted my account. Using the app is insufferable because the majority of the posts are NSFW which are usually meant to promote OnlyFans accounts, or show liveleak-esque videos, etc The replies under individual posts are like timeline of their own filled with posts completely unrelated posts.

Elon Musk took Twitter, chewed it up, and out came this unrecognizable, good for nothing piece of shit app that I’ll never use again. I hope SpaceX and Tesla don’t get the same treatment.
That’s called contempt before investigation. Lots of assumptions, imagine what else your could be wildly wrong about due to your lack of knowledge, understanding and research.

Yeah right.

I recall they lost a ton of data in a failed migration, but the site is still up, and horribly broken. I repeatedly got 500 errors, client side errors and countless broken images. Why even keep the site up in it's current state?
I guess this would be relevant if Apple had a monopoly in the phone market.
>Asking an LLM to play chess, while cool, is like trying to train a fish to dance.

100%. I didn't expect much from it going in. Was more curious to know how good/bad it might be and, really, whether it could play at all.

But, I mention it here because it illustrates the disparity between understanding/reasoning (LLMs bad) and semantics (LLMs good), per the subject of the thread.

>get even blurrier to the point that we might even say "yes, it doesn't 'understand' things, but it's better at humans at literally everything" so the difference becomes meaningless.

I get exactly what you're saying here and I've wondered the same. But, that's the thing I'm not sure about, given its inability to reason. I mean, there's the idea that it doesn't matter whether it "understands" if it correctly answers. But, then I wonder how it can "truly" be better than humans at "literally everything", if only humans truly understand.
The Coen Brothers have changed the explanation multiple times; the movie claims to be "exactly how it happened" (always took this as a joke), the DVD claims it was inspired in the murder you mentioned, and still in 2015 they claimed the story is completely made up...
I get how a Context can be used for cancellation but how is it used for coordination?
Remote is not inherently better than in-office work. They’re different things that appeal to different people.

A person who prefers to work in-office with other people who work in-office (no remote team) is not a terrible person who has no social life outside of work. They simply have a preference.

A company deciding to require in-office work is not evil. They’re making a decision that they think will pay off for them. The same as a company deciding to be remote and give up their office. One isn’t good and one isn’t bad.
Random uneducated thoughts:

1. Government overriding parental rights in a state that is so proud of all possible "my rights"? I suspect some challenge in court for this law will happen sooner or later.

2. Closed circuit networks with some "private" server to chat between friends might get popular soon. There are enough quite capable 13y/o kids able to do so. Or 14yo, creating one for their little brother.

3. Not having a personal account might not prevent anything, as using parents' account is still possible.

4. Whole class on the same Signal chat room -- is it a "social media"?

5. Somehow parallels of Twitter getting banned during Arab Spring events come to mind.
SDL2 docs are not amazing, but the project itself is an incredible achievement of cross platform development.

The thing is, most of the time you don’t want single logout. You want to logout of the specific application, not from the idp and all rp‘s. Think about it, which user want to logout from your app and entra id and all the rp‘s? Probably only a few.
Maybe it is a moral obligation, maybe it's not. Depends entirely on the circumstances and in your framework for morality. Maybe paying child support prevents the parent from getting any sort of stability in their life. Maybe the money is squandered. Maybe responsibility should fall on society more generally, and the fact that basic needs of children depend on the financial capacity of the parents is itself immoral. Or the way society organizes itself around money is immoral. Not saying that that agree in general with those statements, but your categorical statement just irked me.
Tell me you've never worked a real job without telling me. This is a technologists solution in search of a problem. Do you also argue that "email is dead"?
Revoking rights to purchase tobacco and alcohol would be an interesting one
Your logic is “we ban some things so banning this is fine”.

Thats an incredibly shallow argument. It’s so shallow in fact it could be used to argue for the ban of anything.
The gdb manual might have been quoting the essay "Why Free Software Needs Free Documentation" [1] written in 1996 [2] by someone (not confirmed to be Richard Stallman AFAICT) at the Free Software Foundation. Excerpt [1]:

> The biggest deficiency in free operating systems is not in the software—it is the lack of good free manuals that we can include in these systems. Many of our most important programs do not come with full manuals. Documentation is an essential part of any software package; when an important free software package does not come with a free manual, that is a major gap. We have many such gaps today.

You've never heard of the Placebo Effect, have you?
True, it's hard to tell fact from fiction, especially because much of what is known about samurai, ninja, the whole "bushido" nonsense, comes from the later Edo period, in many cases by writers who were romanticizing the olden days.

I think most mainstream historians believe ninjas (as depicted in pop culture: assassins clad in black, with almost supernatural infiltration abilities, armed with shuriken, "opposed" to the samurai, etc) are completely fictional. There were spies and some jizamurai engaged in guerrilla tactics and wrote some books about it, and that's about it.
Wow, another post I can relate to. This was me many moons ago, except I was actually arrested. I give it a 2/10 rating, rude staff.

I did learn to sleep comfortably on cement with toilet paper as pillow. I can also resist horrible toilet stench while sleeping. The recent family murderer in my cell was joyful and friendly and I made heroin addict friends. There was commotion in a nearby cell, others told me it was rape, good thing I avoided that.

Also, an interesting fact, apparently it's not just abu-ghraib type torture prisons that keep prisoners in very cold concrete only rooms and move you around to different holding cells and cellmates every few hours (i assume it is to sleep deprive and freeze you so much you cause less troubles?). I suppose prison is supposed to be unpleasant but they could have waited until I was tried and convicted. Seems a bit much as well for expired government documents where the reason is debt instead of safety, at least for America.

I now hate car ownership (likelihood of police interaction being one of many reasons).

Not really the same thing, but I'm reminded too of the HOA in Texas that foreclosed on a woman in her late 80s from her home for $180 in unpaid HOA dues (apparently her husband had managed finances and died recently).

Egregious enough. Then the real details hit, and made a bad thing worse:

- A member of the HOA Board had moved to foreclose on this home despite the small arrears (even relative to other members of the community)

- Someone made a very short offer on the house (IIRC, in the order of $125K for a $4-500K home)

- HOA Board voted to accept the short sale offer

(You might have seen this coming) Spoiler alert: The HOA board member who lead the vote to foreclose, the person who made the short offer, and the board member who voted to accept that offer? All the same person, who had a healthy little business as a landlord.
Eh, it was an urban population migration after mechanization of farming. Population growth then still was not great nor anywhere near what happened later. This time was laying the roots of a future time where people didn't stay still and the world was moving at a fast pace, but it wasn't that world yet.

Ah. In that case, I agree, it is relatively simple.
(I think) technically, all of these mathematical objects are tensors of different ranks:

0. Scalar numbers are tensors of rank 0.

1. Vectors (eg velocity, acceleration in intro high school physics) are tensors of rank 1.

2. Matrices that you learn in intro linear anlgebra are tensors of rank 2. Nested arrays 1 level deep, aka a 2d array.

0. Tensors numbers are tensors of rank 3 or higher. I explain this as ‘nested arrays’ to people with programming backgrounds as nested arrays of arrays with 3dimensions of arrays or higher.

But I’m mostly self-taught in math so ymmv.

There's an old joke explanation about Xerox and PARC, about the difficulty of "pitching a 'paperless office' to a photocopier company".

In Google's case, an example analogy would be pitching making something like ChatGPT widely available, when that would disrupt revenue from search engine paid placements, and from ads on sites that people wouldn't need to visit. (So maybe someone says, better to phase it in subtly, as needed for competitiveness, but in non-disruptive ways.)

I doubt it's as simple as that, but would be funny if that was it.
Agree. It’s been 30 years but that manual definitely triggered something!
I can't remember the last time I, or anyone I've ever worked with for that matter, ever typed up a CSV from scratch. The whole point of USV is that the delimiters can't normally be typed so you don't have to worry about escaping.

USV supports displayable delimiters (see https://github.com/SixArm/usv), so for the much more common case of editing an existing CSV in a text editor, you can just copy and paste.
I mean looking across all humanity there is very little that has not been banned in one place or another. Banning things seems to be the one thing we're really good at.
Kids internet access is a real problem. This is not the solution. Most restrictive laws are not the solution.

“The Solution” is to set parents up as universal admins.

This obviously isn’t it. But this issue can’t be dismissed, and we can’t wait until a perfect law either.
Our friend group occasionally dropped acid in high school.

There were a couple kids we didn't know well that went schizophrenic/psychotic break.

My closest friend got too much in his early twenties at an early burning man, went schizophrenic/psychotic and after a year or so in and out of jail, committed suicide by cop. There was nothing that could be done for him as he was an adult and didn't want help.

This was a college educated, elementary school teacher.

I haven't touched the stuff since.

You do you, but don't tell people there aren't risks.
Nothing says "have money to pay child support" like "don't have money to pay child support because you got fired from your job and have fines for having a suspended license because you were behind on child support."

Sorry, but this is insanely counterproductive.

Avro is a terrible serialization format. Well, not necessarily the spec but all tooling around it is. It should never be picked over multitude of other, better options unless the company is, maybe, a Java shop.

CSV is a superb, incredibly useful data format.. but not perfect or complete.

Instead of breaking CSV by adding to it .. I recommend augmenting it :

It would be useful to have a good standardized / canonical json format for things like encoding, delimiter, schema and metadata, to accompany a zipped csv file, perhaps packaged in the same archive.

Gradually datasets would become more self-documenting and machine-usable without wrangling.
This is a fantastic in-depth look at debugging a complex problem, and the fact that the rest of the system remained stable is a testament to the quality of the engineering work that the Oxide team put into this. I'm personally quite inspired by this and plan on applying similar techniques in my day job!
I thought about it but what I am saying is different from the Placebo Effect
Depending on what you want to specifically learn, I'd start with the easier distributions, no need to waste hours unable to install or use an OS. Then if you want to "REALLY LEARN" I'd suggest trying out something like Slackware first before jumping straight into the Gentoo or Arch Linux bandwagon. What you'd learn from Slackware is things like partitioning during installation, and how useful package managers can be ;)

Also some commands you want to always use:

man is #1 cause it will show you documentation on any other command and how to use them

almost every program has a -h or --help that tells you how to use them as well.
Agree.

Not saying csv doesn’t have its issues, but I don’t think the author made a convincing argument.

A lot of the issues the author brought up didn’t sound that bad and/or it sounds like he never looked at the source data first.

If you’re doing work with large datasets, I think it’s a good practice to at least go and look at the source data briefly to see what to expect.

This will give you a good idea of the format it outputs, data types, some domain context, etc. or some combination thereof and I don’t think it even takes that long.

Also, it reminds me of the arguments against excel in a way. Most people know what a csv is, more or less how to open it, and don’t need too much context when discussing the file. Someone will quickly understand if you tell them the file isn’t delimited properly right away. These are pros that shouldn’t be taken for granted.

Again, I’m not saying csv doesnt have issues or that there aren’t better alternatives, simply that I didn’t find this particular argument convincing.
I can't help but feel that the TV show would've ruined it, like Scarfolk only works if you only have a certain amount of it and the TV show would've pushed it from "wait, was that real?" to "Ah, right, that's from that show".
I've valued the virtue of CSVs being readable by any text editor known to man, and I've occasionally edited them by hand. The pure simplicity of reading and typing commas trumps any value provided by more esoteric configurations.

As for escaping, that's for the subsequent programmers (which could also be me) to figure out. If it is me, I'll deal with it because it keeps things simple.

Less dire for sure, but having to pay double the cost for ECC modules is still pretty dire.
No, no deeper meaning here. That’s exactly what it’s saying.

Well, what it’s actually saying is that the hypothetical employed married person who spends time with his kids and friends is shitty at two of those things. (Perhaps more, or even all, but at least two - because, you know, that’s the rule of life.) What an inspiring and actionable message.

I grant that as a married person with a job and kids, I’m not great at pursuing hobbies or spending a ton of time with my friends, but I love the author’s implication that either my job, my spouse or my kids was just a bridge too far and I’m just out of luck when it comes to one of those.

Exactly this, I’ve been a python guy which is apparently not the main language used by most api developers or what? Is there nothing like FastAPI in js land? I do start my APIs by writing the openAPI spec, only it’s written in pydantic inside FastAPI and turns out this also creates the actual API lol.

If you ever need to parse CSV really fast and happen to know C#, there is an incredible vectorized parser for that: https://github.com/nietras/Sep/
My worst nightmare was a semicolon-delimited file. Where one of the columns had hand-typed street names - without quotes.. so "WELLS" was often "WE;;S".

Since it was the only column like that, the # of columns to the left of the annoying column and the # on the right would always stay the same. So it was pretty easy to clean.

I think the "occasional printing will clog up nozzles" affects some printer models more than the others.

As a single data point, I used a Canon i9990 for many years. It had a very irregular use -- I would print a few 13x19 photos or a tiled panorama, or an occasional school picture of kids for the relatives. Then it would sit unused for days to months until the next job. And even with this supposedly abusive cycle it ran like new until it completely died one day.

I personally had worse luck with image printing services. Maybe the machines are off, maybe the fellow who runs it does not care, but more often than not there is something subtly wrong: either the color is off, or there is a smudge at the edge or some minor artifact. My 2c.
I always recommend these books/resources:

* OAuth2 in action: https://www.manning.com/books/oauth-2-in-action which is great because it build an OAuth2 server in an accessible language, JavaScript

* Solving identity in modern applications: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-1-4842-8261-8 which is dry but a great book about the modern identity lifecycle and an overview of the relevant protocols

* I co-authored this ebook about the different modalities of OAuth: https://leanpub.com/themodernguidetooauth if you email me (email in profile), happy to get you a PDF for free

* Security Engineering is great for some of the fundamentals, about hashing, for instance: https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/book.html (haven't finished it yet, though)

I am absolutely sure it's not deliberate because Musk renamed it to x.com. He's been looking to use that name for years and he wouldn't have renamed Twitter if he was planning on destroying it.
