Hence the previous destruction of citrus...
As a Floridian, my understanding is that disease is a much worse problem than climate. For example, nobody yet knows how to effectively control the bacteria that causes citrus greening. It is transmitted via insects, grafting, etc. and very difficult to prevent the spread of once it's in an area. So once it showed up in Florida (it originated in South China) it was basically just a matter of time before it became a widespread problem. And if a cure isn't found we could lose a lot more than oranges, and in a lot more places.
Imagine actually thinking that you can search for something and you are always going to get a correct answer on the internet. At least with LLMs you can fine tune or at least pick different models you want to use and communicate at will with it. It's not 100% but the alternative is a crap ton of research and verification into topics I don't really have time for. Can't tell you how many times now it's been useful to use AI as a researcher aid in prototyping. It has vastly improved my iteration times, especially on things I normally would spend weeks on tutorials.

Grocery stores figured this out years ago. It's by giving that secondary number a subordinate position on the price tag. Not by redesigning the price tag to list the actual options in a misleading way (and then making the customer do even more arithmetic—not less—in order to answer the question, "How much is this going to cost me TODAY?")

No one who is doing the "$X per month, billed annually" is doing it because they're trying to make it easiest for the customer. They're doing it because lower numbers on the price tag makes for more sales.

Man, Kraków is very car centric by any reasonable measure. There are huge multilane roads cutting through the city in all directions. There is zero enforcement on speed and pollution limits. It's very dangerous to move around if you're not inside a car.

Cars are just too space inefficient as inner city transportation. Traffic jams are the result of car centric choices incentivizing everyone to drive not the other way around.

I agree with you both to some extent. It's all anecdotal though, really.

I think a fair point is that there are common idioms that you need to learn one way or another. Whether that is formal training or intuition or just plain force of will, you need to come to understand the meaning of what you are looking at and not just what the individual instructions are doing.

Otherwise, it's a similar idea to saying, "nobody needs to learn how to read music because look how great Jimi Hendrix was and he couldn't".

Gregor Kiczales, the guy behind Aspect Oriented Programming, said something like Common Lisp couldn't attain the level of (aspect oriented) tooling that Java could, because the tools in Common Lisp could not be sure what the Lisp code they were analyzing actually does, but in Java the language is constrained enough that the tools can figure it out. He said this in a MOP retrospective he gave at the Vancouver Lisp User's Group meeting on 28 June 2006 [1]. There's a link to an .ogg file in the link below, and he talks about this at around the 45 minute mark.

Alright, I have a mismatched setup: a 1080p and a 4K screen. No matter how you twist it, the virtual screen* will have dead zones. Self-management of a single full-screen canvas is easy (browser F11). But then I will want to use the entire physical screen estate with the editor and it'll end up re-implementing large parts of the window manager just to position the windows where they belong, rendering at the correct monitor DPI.

Further, just from the shown animation I can already see the same problems you'd encounter with a lot of screen space and old style window managers: you grow tired _very fast_ of moving and resizing additional windows yourself to fit more on the screen. "Maximize (on current screen)" is the only automation step in this direction and it is decades old. Windows' "snap to edges" is a semi-manual attempt at assisted window management.

My solution to fair chess:

1. White makes their opening moves - they can move more than one piece, and even the same piece more than once, but: all moves must be legal, and no captures.

2. When White is done, Black has the option to change sides, taking over the white pieces.

3. Regardless of step 2, the player with the black pieces makes the next move.

4. A draw counts as a win for the player with the black pieces.

Thus there are no longer drawn results, and the start must be relatively equal (between a white win and a black win or draw) in White’s estimation.
One game I've played and thought of as similar to some sort of simultaneous chess was Toribash. It's a turn-based fighting game where you control your character via contracting/extending muscle pairs on a simplified skeleton. Your opponent chooses which joints to move at the same time as you, then the time advances a few frames. The game gives you a preview of what would happen if your opponent did nothing that turn. "Conflicts" are resolved via physics (e.g. a punch is stopped by an arm blocking it).
If anecdotes are meaningful (dubious, but I'll play along...), I can counter with mine: I've been running btrfs on bleeding edge kernels for a decade, and I've never seen a single data loss event.

Out of curiosity, for folks that use VirtualBox today, why do you choose to use it over native OS virtualization platforms? With QEMU-KVM + Virt-Manager or Boxes, Hyper-V, and UTM + Virtualization.framework, all of the major desktop OSes have a native, pretty well supported and performant VM offering out of the box. Ever since Oracle started getting all Oracle with Virtualbox, it's left a bad taste in my mouth personally, and have found all the other alternatives to be fairly palatable depending on use case.

They didn't get a terrian warning because they were landing. Being close to the ground is what they expected. They have both radar & pressure altimeters.

What might have happened is that due to the poor weather they thought they were closer to the airport, or they weren't closely following their glide path, or the aircraft was misconfigured for the RNAV approach. Perhaps a combination of the three.

That sounds like they gave me a free GPS unit that I could repurpose.

In which case, the terrain warnings would be the standard "you're landing, idiot" noises which wouldn't alert them to anything, because they'd be expecting them.
It's not a crappy USB drive. It's a high-end high-performance Sandisk USB drive.

Regardless, I still expect the choice of filesystem to not hard freeze my OS.

I've had janky crappy USB drives before and with any other filesystem reads/writes might fail but I don't get a hard freeze.

One could argue it could be a bug in the Linux USB stack rather than a bug in the btrfs kernel driver. But what I do know is that when I pick btrfs I get problems.

These diseases are mostly consequences of climate changes (including pollutions increases, plastics, ..), so long term, mid term, short term it's always climate change the most important challenge, at global and local scale
In your specific case:

1. Automatic semicolon insertion would next want to kick in at the } token, so that's the obvious end of the statement. If you've asked it to ignore from `as` to the end of the statement (as you've established with your "ignore to the end of the 'line'"), that's where it stops ignoring.

1A. Obviously in that case `bar(null` is not a valid statement after ignoring from `as` to the end of the statement.

2. The trick to your specific case, that you've stumbled into is that `as` is an expression modifier, not a statement modifier. The argument to a function is an expression, not a statement. That definitely complicates things because "end of the current expression" is often a lot more complicated than ASI (and people think ASI is complicated). Most parsers are going to have some sort of token state counter for nested parentheses (this is a fun implementation detail of different parsers because while recursion is easy enough in "context-free grammars" the details of tracking that recursion is generally not technically "context-free" at that point, so sometimes it is in the tokenizer, sometimes it is a context extension to the parser itself, sometimes it is using a stack implementation detail of the parser) and you are going to want to ignore to the next "," token that signals a new argument or the next ")" that signals the end of arguments, with respect to any () nesting.

2A. Because of how complicated expression parsing can get, that probably sets some resiliency bounds on your "ignorable grammar": it may require that internally it still follows most of the logic of your general expression language: balanced nested parentheses, no dangling commas, usual comment syntax, etc.

2B. You probably want to define those sorts of boundaries anyway. The easiest way is to say that ignorable extensions such as `as` must themselves parse as if it was a valid expression, even if the language cannot interpret its meaning. You can think of this as the meta-grammar where one option for an expression might be `<expression> ::= <expression> 'as' <expression>` with the second expression being parseable but ignorable after parsing to the language runtime and JIT. You can see that effectively in the syntax description for Python's original PEP 3107 syntax-only type hints standard [1], it's surprisingly that succinct there. (The possible proposed grammar in the Type Annotations proposal to TC39 is a lot more specific and a lot less succinct [2], for a number of reasons.)

If you want to enforce things, use an interface. If you want to accept anything that fits use a delegate.

class Bar {
public string B(String s){

I did play with CO2 a lot when I was a kid, though. I used to buy the little canisters that serve some purpose or other for home brewing, and hammer nails through the ends so they went off like rockets and skittered all over the yard. There was a lot of visible gas, but maybe the expansion of the CO2 made it cold and so I was seeing condensing water? Also I played with the soda stream a lot, I think CO2 has a distinctive taste.

That's hardly a fair characterization of the many reasons people - mostly white - moved to the suburbs over a period of decades.

https://oxfordre.com/americanhistory/display/10.1093/acrefor... for example characterizes the period 1945–1970 as when "suburbia witnessed the expansion of segregated white privilege, bolstered by government policies, exclusionary practices, and reinforced by grassroots political movements".

Levittown famously deed-restricted non-whites from buying a house in that suburb. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levittown says:

> The first black family to buy one of the houses, the Myers, who bought a second-hand house in Pennsylvania's Levittown in 1957, experienced attacks on their house, and up to 500 people gathering outside.

If those hundreds of people solely "wanted peace", why were they attacking others?

Even in the 1980s, one of my father's coworkers - both born post-war - asked why he didn't move out from our immediate post-war suburb housing, which was increasingly non-white, to the newer suburbs where things were more "peaceful".

My father laughed about that a few months later when a house a few blocks from his coworker caught fire. It has been used to process cocaine.

What evidence is there for this? The author goes on to not cite anything from the US and actually gives an example from Brazil that uses faulty logic, making the common mistake of confusing whether with climate.

I live in Asia and have seen first hand how production in China has gone up over the years, not down. This can also be proven in numbers.¹ ²
China happens to be the world's top producing country btw. So what does Freida Frisaro know that the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service, private analysts and traders, as well as people living in China don't know? Does "climate change" only happen in Western countries?

Quote:

>
"After several years of consistent growth[!], China’s citrus production in MY 2023/24 is expected to
continue to climb and will remain the largest fruit category, outperforming other fruits (i.e., apples).
With favorable weather and the recovering acreage from earlier greening disease, all citrus crops –
oranges, tangerines, mandarins, grapefruits, pomelos – are expected to have strong
yields. Although consumers are increasingly price conscious, demand is expected to remain strong.
Incremental changes in trade flows are anticipated, as China continues to promote regional trade."²

> Your statement couldn’t be more incorrect. Debt to equity/assets is the key consideration

Oof, HN and its armchair finance.

Solvency is leverage agnostic because it doesn’t directly change with leverage. You don’t cite the source for your quote, but it should be obligations or liabilities, not debt. When liabilities exceed assets, you’re insolvent. Being debt free doesn’t guarantee solvency.

In practice they’re related because interest expense flows through to the income statement. But that is indirect. And you can lever something up infinitely without changing its solvency profile. (You change its risk, which in this sense means the probability is becomes insolvent in the future. Within the context of real estate, where extend and pretend is common, this distinction is highly relevant.)

The CRE problem is not a creature of debt. It’s a function of a previously-useful asset becoming, suddenly, less useful.
