> in a language like Python, it isn't always clear whether my_list is a value or a reference.

I can't think of anything that's a value? At least since Java, the idea of "everything is an object" seems pretty dominant in most languages.

There are a few immutable types, like ints, strings and tuples, but you still refer to them by reference.

> the delta with smallest frequency is the fundamental frequency, and the others are harmonics

Nitpick, but this isn't true. If my signal is a linear combination of two sinusoids - one at frequency 3 and the other at frequency 5, then there is no "fundamental" frequency when you do the FT.
Probably because it's the very definition of virtue signaling instead of actually supporting them in meaningful ways, e.g. a pay raise
Well "unconscious bias" is a vapid meaningless term with no real concrete definition. It is essentially a political cudgel used to accuse someone of racism for which there is no evidence.

To be fair I have never seen a hiring decision made on DEI grounds. its always talent/skill first. So I am not complaining about bullshit DEI hiring, I am complaining about programs where companies hire speakers for absurd fees to come give lipservice to cool black culture is and how shitty white people are. Its such an obvious scam and its painful to watch everyone get brow beaten into public self flagellation.
I have much less of a problem if that makes it opt-in than with a law that simply forbids it. Applause if that's the case here. I'm used to cases like minimum wage law, where I am forbidden to opt-in to a negotiated compensation under a fixed price, sometimes effectively blocking the bottom rungs of the human capital ladder.

This video is a great overview of the history and the recent hearings, came here to link it.

Not sure I agree with his conclusion though - once all manufacturers are required to include the technology, surely they will still compete on price and find ways to get cheaper models to market? They will be unencumbered by the risk of patent violation to innovate on cheaper approaches to the same problem.

He also argues for riving knives and blade guards as an alternative, which are great, but not all cuts can be made with them in place.

As a hobby woodworker that sometimes makes mistakes, I've wanted a SawStop for a long time but have been stymied by the cost, so maybe I'm just being optimistic.
Have you spent 20 years using a table saw most days of your working life? I think some of this centers around people who use saws day in and day out, to the point they spend a significant part of their working life using a saw when fatigued.

I don't have strong opinions on this change. I've used a table saw for years as a homeowner, and I always leave the guards on. I've never seen a table saw on a job site with the guards on.

I'd be curious to know what percentage of the people injured by table saws owned the saw that they got hurt on. How many are workers who didn't choose which saw to buy?
I think this has more to do with putting your thoughts in order but an interesting result.

I've noticed that my comments are frequently sorted to the bottom of threads. While I can't see others' vote counts, I know that mine are sometimes significantly higher (for example, other comments are grayed out, indicating zero or negative votes).

Is this some form of shadow-banning or other suppression?

I strongly disagree. Important towards what end? And if that end is getting people to be less religious, I think this is one of the least effective ways to make that point. Trying to dissuade a religious person in the basis of the logical inconsistencies in their religion is the le atheist approach, and seems to be most compelling to the agnostic and atheist crowds.

How about SawStop open their patent up first? They've already sued to prevent other tool manufacturers from making their own solutions to the problem, because they want theirs to be licensed. So even though they claim they will open their patent once the feature is enforced, what have they done in good faith to make us believe they won't move the goalposts to opening it, once they have captured the market?

Wealthy = net worth

Top 1% of earners = income

Additionally, what proportion of total income does the top 1% account for? For instance, if they make 1/3rd of all income then paying 1/3rd of all tax is an amazing deal for them. if they only make 1/20th of all income, maybe less so.

An interesting article, though a couple of trivial points bugged me. I suppose it’s due to the death of editors.

> a partnership between Kakkar and his partner Sanjeev Pahwa’s cycle-rickshaw company and a traditional tuk-tuk manufacturer.

I have never heard the term tuk-tuk used in India — I believe it’s a Thai word used in some other countries. Of course the rickshaw and, cycle rickshaw and auto-rickshaw were all imports via the British. But the term jumped out while reading the sentence.

> the natural magnet for the motor and critical minerals for the battery, have to come from China because they do not naturally occur in India

While it’s unsurprising that the (likely rare earth — India has iron) magnet et al have to be imported, it’s not like rare earths are rare, and a country the size of India and with its geography could find them, and eventually will (as the article says they are with lithium).

I didn't, and it's clear what kind of business are defined as technofeudalists in the book which you haven't read.

It's clear you are having a knee-jerk reaction to something you didn't have intellectual curiosity to learn about.

As a previously frequent traveler on both domestic and international flights, pushing your way through to the back while everybody is standing up waiting to deplane doesn't have to slow things down if those passengers waited until enough people have deplaned.

This courtesy doesn't help those passengers who need to catch a tight connection, but if everybody else followed this more polite protocol then deplaning would be less stressful and likely quicker for everybody.
I think some of your initial posts might have read as tone deaf. A sentiment similar to "look at the beauty in this tragedy" can feel like downplaying the tragedy, or it can feel like downplaying similar, other tragedies. ("This concentration camp made their space beautiful" can carry the implication that others don't, unintentionally suggesting that somehow the people in this one are better than the people in that one.)

You later clarified, but I suspect there's also a group of folks who don't want to hear that the US had concentration camps.

I'm not really a cloud expert so maybe I'm fundamentally missing something about how I'm "supposed to work", but honestly all I have ever wanted to do, when looking at logs, is see the log from one process, from beginning to end, as a text file. You can of course do this using kubectl but only for the most recent two instances of a given pod which isn't helpful when investigating an incident that happened a while ago.

It seems nobody else cares about this use case and wants you to use LogQL and the incredibly clunky Grafana web UI instead, because it makes it possible to aggregate across many different processes, slice and dice by various labels, etc., which as I said, I have never (or almost never) actually wanted to do.

Hopefully this new UI is a step in the right direction as people won't need to futz around with LogQL anymore, but it seems like it still doesn't quite do what I want.

From a Lithium dependency standpoint, the Indian government made exclusivity deals with Australia, Argentina, and Chile [1][2] to mine Lithium and transfer lithium enrichment technology to Indian companies. That said, it would take a decade for this to pan out.

In modern production, an army of underpaid, un-unionized visual effects contractors who pitch lowest bidder contracts to manually retouch basically every single pixel in the film six times over is a fine price to pay for studios, while this method would require carefully planning everything ahead of time, proper scripting, and not being able to change scenes after shooting nearly as easily, and also probably involves hiring unionized labor by talented tradespeople who can say "naw that's a bad deal and a dumb idea".

It was published in "Scientific Reports", a known low-quality journal. They are not necessary predatory like some of the truly bad journals, e.g., work in this journal still is supposed to pass the "not a low effort triviality and not obviously wrong" check and there are even some really cool things published in this journal. However, I generally take publications in this journal with a significant grain of salt.

Also, just FYI, "Scientific Reports" is not in a specific subfield -- I have published on quantum computing in this journal. That is not too strange, there are plenty of "generalist" journals that are good, but I thought it could still be useful context to know.

> physically seperate but parallel routes.

That's the challenge. Seperate, but equal is hard. Routing separarated multiple everything to everything paths for at least three classes (walkers and slow? cyclists, light vehicles and fast? cyclists, cars) gets really difficult where there are intersections, because either the separate paths cross at most intersections, or you're building an awful lot of tunnels and bridges.

As a cyclist, there's also a major conflict within cylists with regard to speed. When you're cycling only a little faster than walkers, it's fine to be on a pedestrian trail, but somewhere around 15 mph, it's not really good for either cyclists or pedestrians to be combined; at that point, IMHO, it's better to be with faster traffic.
