What makes you think this is not the case? According to the article this disaster was within the parameters the the insurers planned for, even though it is the biggest of its kind.

What? Where is this the case?
I'm curious about your thoughts on insulin pumps. I'm not very familiar but I know a few people with T1 that use them and seem happy with them. My understanding is that the idea is that they both monitor glucose levels and supply insulin to keep things stable. Have you considered them? Is there a limitation/downside to them that isn't obvious to a non diabetic? Thanks!
Is the order of notes within a chord the _only_ extra info required on top of a musical score? If so, with some "tie-breaker" I think you could encode any Velato program unambiguously in sheet music.
For example, if notes in a chord were interpreted as commands from lowest to highest pitch, you could move notes up and down by octaves to determine the command order. Just a thought... I like the idea of piece-as-program.
To put this in American terms, is it really the end of the world to just earn your bachelor's at a solid but not necessarily elite public university? Thereby avoiding the need to "grind" so hard throughout your youth and adolescence? What are the stakes really?
The way I see it, if elite academics is the goal, graduate school is the time to be more selective because at that point one knows where to go based on one's research interests. If entrepreneurship is the dream, then the choice of school doesn't matter much at all! Otherwise, I think there are plenty of great jobs out there that don't require you to have gone to the #1 school in the country.
To be clear, I'm not American so I may just be completely misjudging the apparent importance of choice in school. Also, I likely have different personal priorities than you, so I'm not trying to deny your experience. I just question whether it is _really_ necessary "these days" to optimize childhood around getting into an elite university. I think it's really just a matter of priority.
I guess if it splits or combines lines that could cause some noise if you really want the history of a single line... But that happens all the time, and I don't see how it would really prevent understanding the history. You can always do a blame on a range of lines.
Maybe I'm missing something though, genuinely curious for a concrete example where reformatting makes it hard to understand history!
I'm curious, could you expand on this? In what ways are the stakes higher?
What's relevant is the lowest price for the economy/compact model of a mainstream brand, which seem to be around $20k. For a $5k difference (or less) I don't know if gambling on a new Chinese electric car would be that attractive.
Of course, neither of these are electric. But they are also well known makes in the American market.
I checked it out more recently and it had become much more superficial and I didn't find it worthwhile at all. It seemed totally targeted at mobile where everything was multiple choice and gamified.
Maybe the good stuff is still there somewhere but I couldn't find it and quit.
When did I say anything like that?
My point is just that the `git log` command, by default, shows the full commit message. The same goes for `git show`. So a user of the git CLI will regularly see complete commit messages, unless they purposefully request a different format. So, it is not some inherit problem in git that the complete commit message is hard to find. That's just a limitation of certain Git frontends.
If some "modern" git frontend is only capable of displaying the first line of a commit message, then this is a problem with that tool, not git itself.
(I'm also not convinced this is a limitation of all modern tooling...)
Definitely, the best case for cars is to have fast highways that bypass the city, but there isn't a lot of room with that given Vancouver's geography, so it's a lesser-of-two-evils. Beyond cars, public transit and cycling provide a better solution in my opinion anyway.
Regardless... the biggest traffic pain point in downtown Vancouver is the 3-lane (total) Lions Gate bridge.
The analogy is as follows. Like with with leetcode & job interviews is as follows, to excel at math competitions one must grind problems and learn tricks, in order to quickly solve problems in a high pressure environment. And, just like how solving leetcode problems is pretty different than what a typical computer scientist or software engineer does, doing math competitions is pretty different than what a typical mathematician does.
An analogy with software is that math competitions are like (very hard) leetcode.
There was an article posted on HN recently that is related: https://benexdict.io/p/math-team
They are doing the release all-at-once, but developing gradually. From the original PR[1]:
>This should be thought of as a "port" instead of a "rewrite" because we would not start from scratch; instead we would translate C++ to Rust, incrementally, module by module, in the span of one release. We'll use an FFI so the Rust and C++ bits can talk to each other until C++ is gone, and tests and CI keep passing at every commit.
DESCRIPTION
Updates files in the working tree to match the version in the index or the specified tree. If no pathspec
was given, git checkout will also update HEAD to set the specified branch as the current branch.
I would love to use a language that implemented even just the "simple" parts, and I doubt I would be the only one.
One specific suggestion I have about the overview and docs is that I think the language around "Cloud" and "Restful/API computing" is more specific than it needs to be. While features like the APITypes would definitely be most useful for cloud/web software, I think the same ideas could be very useful for any kind of software. Anything that even writes a JSON config file could benefit from that concept if I understand it correctly.
