I am sorry, this is the whole other level. First of all, you are not obliged to discuss your medication with friends or parents. Second, your reply is pretty much like: >> In China you disappear if you publicly say bad things about CC

Why is it relevant? So far nobody forces me to take birth control and threatens for exclude me from the society if I refuse to do so (UK wants to require vaccine passports to go to cinema, for example). Nobody paints me as stupid anti-vaxxe

I get the desire to be pedantic, but does anyone at all train DL models on Windows? (barring toy projects for fun and perhaps debugging) The same can be said about num_workers > 0. You _have to_ fork worker threads unless you train somet

I am not saying that the government can't change their minds, new things pop up, future is hard. I am just saying that relying on "they promised us to not do that" is dumb. They will do anything once circumstances change.

>>Has something changed? That's the wrong question. The right one is "may something change in the future?" And an answer on this: "maybe, we don't know, nobody knows the future". That being said, extrapol

The UK government had also ruled the second national lockdown, but here we are. Is there a counter since the last U-turn of the UK government?

Awesome reasoning mate. I wish I could have any kind of life outside of work, but it is all shutdown now!

So what does it mean? Less severe symptoms or sterilizing immunity?

Across the pond they suggested to "eat out to help out". Very reasonable advice given the comorbidities.

Does it matter? Stated job of FB is to connect the community, allow you to share your life with your loved ones and so on. Stated job of NSA is to maintain IT security of the nation and perhaps hack foreign intelligence, not create a networ

While you have a point about 18yo, it is very difficult to overlook the main job of the military: kill people. NSA flies below the radar or at least used to, but it is very difficult to not notice that the US military mostly come to foreign

what are the tradeoffs here? I assume there is a reason why it isn't default or even in the main repo?

It is a laughable excuse. Literally every other country figured this out. It is not like borders and taxes exist only in the US.

I am so amused that this debate is very American centered all while American physical stores can't figure out how to include taxes into displayed price. And everybody is okay with that.

I do normal two arms pull ups with additional weight. If I could do weighted one arm pull up, I wouldn't have a problem to do them without weight at home. I admit I was a big fun of bw workouts for 3-4 years. Until I realized that it i

Are you genuinely surprised at this point? Pretty much all big tech companies were caught outright lying about user data collection. Why would you assume by default they don't try to get as much as possible? They are all based on ML, o

I tried them during the lockdown and found the whole experience very frustrating. The force follows Hooke's law and scales linearly. Let's say you take one marked as 14-34kg. Suppose you replace a dumbbell of 24kg. It means that i

I disagree, the progress from hero to superhero is much more difficult. I can do many pull ups, I can do archer pull ups. In the gym I was just adding weights every time I felt it is too easy, 5kg at a time, nice little step up. During the

Do you call a Walmart cashier to save a baby? Wine story employee? Cannabis dispensary staff? I felt insulted that in the country I live in luxury wine stores were essential and open throughout the lockdown while gyms were not. If I can for

yes. My contract clarifies clearly "whether or not during working hours, whether or not using company's equipment". It could be difficult to enforce, but I wouldn't want to check.

in the context of this topic I am talking about evaluating people by github projects, so coding in private defeats the purpose. I can totally understand why companies look at github code. However, if I am looking for a new job, I may want t

It is the UK. I know that probably in some jurisdictions some of these clauses are unenforceable. I just don't want to step in a legal mess. I know a friend of mine (in France btw) had to argue with his company about this even though h

Well, too bad that modern front-end developers don't take this into account. I use a high-end laptop from 2015 (not apple) and it could work perfectly well for a few more years if not for 8gb ram. Nowadays a single electron app easily

It might feel different depending where you live. If one lives in Europe, I don't see why US or Chinese spying should be perceived differently.
