That data doesn't show 2021. It only goes up to 2020. You don't have to try very hard to find data that supports a massive uptick in violent crime in 2021. Dozens of cities have reported all-time-high murder rates. Even cities l

Great design! Unfortunately it doesn't work on my setup. On Firefox on Linux with SwayWM None of the hotkeys work except the arrows and hjkl. Alt-h opens up mozilla's help menu. Enter opens up the site's help menu. (maybe be

Did you hear the story about the statistician who tried to walk across a pond that averaged 1m in depth and drowned? I agree with the author's general sentiment. Things are expensive in America, but America is a big place. There is a

Demand and supply. Most Americans concept of "value" is not quality, it's quantity. Being unable to otherwise judge a thing on its merits, they take the bigger one. Not the one that is healthier, or more nutrient-dense. Thi

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but, Oxalates aren't particularly high in the Western Diet. Cruciferous vegetables seem more a feature of the Mediterranean diet or standard diet? So I am assuming that the WD is lower in the neces

As a Wayland (and Sway) user; Overall, I have loved the Wayland experience. I am very grateful to all of the devs who've worked to make this happen. That said, I feel that Wayland devs (and users) are just now (re)learning the ecosys

All of the people that I know that have used hard drugs also use cannabis. The opposite is not true at all, though. Living where weed is legal, I know dozens of people who regularly smoke weed and do no other hard drugs. Some of them are

I misspoke. I should have said that the modern, big Conspiracy Theories have been debunked. Epstein was a Conspiracy. No theory required :)

I think they were specifically referring to the "Customer's Union" Employees Unions are unions. The needs supplied by a Customer's Union should, in part, be supplied by a Government. The other needs could be called a &q

Most of the modern, big conspiracies have been thoroughly debunked, but that doesn't stop their spread. Any flat-earther has heard all of the flat-earth debunking. Sadly, I know a handful of flat-earthers, and I tried arguing for a wh

This article and the article to which the author is responding seems to miss the point entirely. There's nothing wrong with "solutionism" if people are making actual solutions to problems that they understand well. The deroga

I have been running vector in several k8s clusters since July. I'm doing some non-trivial transforms over several different types of sources and sinks. The config makes this easy, but my favorite part is the fact that the CPU and MEM o

I may never understand why people are willing to depart from the form factor of a keyboard, but still adhere to the staggered (as opposed to ortholinear) layout of the keys themselves. Both modifications will require retraining some muscle

I say great work in coming up with any visual example at all. Visualizing multi-dimensional merges isn't easy. :) That said, maybe an additional example of merging JSON blobs might be more intuitive for some.

I know work is ongoing in the CRDT space (Kleppman's work gets posted here regularly). I'm assuming Hellerstein et al. are continuing work on distributed consistency, but "what and where" is not immediately obvious . Blo

Fair enough. Fukushima is a good example of a system with multiple, redundant safeguards that were violated pretty much simultaneously. They've ruled that it was preventable, however. It's become a case study and spawned new audit

Either you're trolling or you've actually just compared the state of software engineering (let's be fair, it's not engineering, but application development) with real engineering disciplines. Unlike software, people actu

You have a right to be suspicious, but to be fair, this isn't from nuclear energy. It was from tritium weapons research and production. Hanford was one of the sites of the Manhattan project, in the infancy of nuclear experimentation. T

I recall my time on Gemstone with more fondness than probably any other significant part of my childhood. I certainly loved that game more than anything else I've ever played. I don't even consider it a game, really. It is why I l

One of my favorite, unexpected features of nushell so far is `$it` the implicit "iteration" variable. It makes sense to have something like this in conjunction with the 'each' command, which makes it very easy to loop o

It is quite a bit more in-depth than that.. It really is more of a structured data pipeline in a programming environment. It's more like Spark than Awk. There are bulti-in methods like `parse` and `split`, `format` which can provide aw

The equivalent is called `textview` which is a built-in which tries to be a bit more intelligent than `less` with regard to file-types. The default viewer, which sort of runs at the end of every pipeline is called `autoview`. Now.. autoview

That's because the drug manufacturer has to spend a billion dollars performing clinical trials which might still fail. Even with some research already performed, this is still a huge risk. Not to mention the fact that the research st

This particular case could be a couple tables in a database. To follow proper encapsulation guidelines, it would have to be front-ended by some stored procedures, so that the underlying representation is free to change. How would you roll

Figuring out whether today is a working day is actually a dynamic problem. It is different for every locale, and it changes more frequently than one might expect. It's actually a great example of something that changes rather frequentl
