uozb5n | Same question also applies to assisted suicide in general, not just for people with terminal illnesses. Would you support the legalization of such an action in your state or in the country as a whole? Would you only support euthanasia, but not assisted suicide in general? | Without getting wrapped up in the nuances of "euthanasia versus assisted suicide", I support the right to die.
So long as the person in question made their wishes known in a legal manner while they were of sound mind, they should have the ability to do so through safe, comfortable means.
As for the why, I've seen what terminal and neuro-degenerative diseases can do to people. No one should be forced to live like that. | 2,270 | AskAnAmerican |
uozb5n | Same question also applies to assisted suicide in general, not just for people with terminal illnesses. Would you support the legalization of such an action in your state or in the country as a whole? Would you only support euthanasia, but not assisted suicide in general? | Mixed feelings. On the one hand, freedom. On the other hand, I worry about insurance companies essentially telling people "we won't pay for that life saving surgery, but we will pay for euthanasia." and that troubles me a bit. Like, they already do the first part, but I'm concerned they may start doing that more often. All things being equal though, I think people should be able to choose for themselves rather than having anyone else choose. | 1,190 | AskAnAmerican |
uozbwq | I've got a Java + Spring Boot app that contains microservices that call each other via rest calls. It's becoming really difficult to follow and remember how these services interact. I would like to find (or maybe build) something that can map out these calls so I can easily see what is calling what. Does anything like this exist? | I think this is an active research area, and I don’t believe that any canned open-source solutions exist. That said, [Akita Software](https://www.akitasoftware.com/) has a tool designed for this use-case. I don’t know how much it costs, though. | 80 | AskProgramming |

Does anything like this exist? | If you have access to the whole micro service system, I suspect you could probably build it yourself as a medium sized project.
You would just need to write some middleware for your REST layer that you would install on all your microservices. You would have that middleware record the relevant sender and receiver of all requests that go through it, along with any other metadata you’re interested in (e.g. name of endpoint called, variables passed, status of response), and spit that info off to a new microservice that would process and store all the metadata for your requests in the system and construct a big graph of the entire ecosystem, where each microservice is a node, and each call from one service to an endpoint on another is a directed edge on the graph.
There are generic graph renderers out there already that you could feed the data into probably.
Alternatively, if your services are all in kubernetes, I think Datadog has a very basic graph representation of the system that it constructs using traces. | 50 | AskProgramming |
uozidl | Would you say discrete mathematics covers almost the entirety of what you do? I mean, is discrete math enough to meet all your coding related math needs?
Generally speaking, discrete mathematics includes:
1.Sequences and Summations
2. Binary and Bases
3. Sets and Set Operations
4. Congruences
5. Permutations and Combinations
6. Counting Theory
7. Proofs
8. Functions
9. Graph theory
10. Statistics (mean,median,mode, standard deviation and Variance etc)
7. Recurrence Relations
If not, please tell me what areas of math I should master before I apply for software developer roles? | I have never used calculus in 10 years of development. I *once* had to solve a system of linear equations, and the team just handed that problem because they know I have math degree.
Standard application development uses essentially no mathematics. Graph theory *might* come up every once and a while, and you need to do a fair amount of predicate logic in your head to reason about outputs. You can easily be a fully functional software engineer with nothing but high school algebra. | 50 | CSCareerQuestions |

uozqz9 | I am new to the programming, and during a recent interview, I was asked about finding one imposter coin from many coins. I answered that we can divide all in two and weight those and by iterations we can finally find the fake coin. Then I was asked how we can scale the same concept but I didn’t had any idea! Do you guys have any idea, what can be the best answer?? | Sounds like they're asking you to implement binary search and keep searching for the side that has a weight that is off from what it should be.
You can search through a sample size of quintillions in 60 operations using binary search. In a situation like this it would split the groups in half, keep the group that's off weight, split it in half again, go with the group that's off weight, split it in half, etc all the way until you find the single coin that's off.
You can test this using a calculator if you'd like and it's also super easy to implement in any coding language. Take a massive number and keep diving it by 2 until you get down to 1 or less. Count the number of times it took to get from say 1 quadrillion to 1 or less by diving by 2. That's how many binary search operations you'd need to do to find that single coin from 1 quadrillion using binary search. | 70 | LearnProgramming |

I answered that we can divide all in two and weight those and by iterations we can finally find the fake coin. Then I was asked how we can scale the same concept but I didn’t had any idea! Do you guys have any idea, what can be the best answer?? | You can actually use 3 piles of coins at a time.
Then, if the scales balance, you can eliminate both piles with 1 use of the scale.
This also helps if you don’t know if the fake coin is heavier or lighter. If they are not balanced, you swap out the heavier side for pile #3 and, if they balance, you know it is a heavier coin. If not, you know it is lighter. | 60 | LearnProgramming |

I answered that we can divide all in two and weight those and by iterations we can finally find the fake coin. Then I was asked how we can scale the same concept but I didn’t had any idea! Do you guys have any idea, what can be the best answer?? | The problem is stated like this, I suppose. There are N coins in a pile that look identical. One of the coins is fake. You have a scale which has two sides: left and right. You can put any number of coins on the left side and any number on the right side.
Here are the rules of scale
* The scale either says the left side is heavier, the right side is heavier, or both are equal.
* If left scale has X coins and the right scale has Y coins and X > Y, then the left side is always heavier. If Y > X, then the right side is heavier.
Let's assume the fake coin is heavier and the scale is sensitive. So if there were 100 normal coins on the left, and 99 normal coin plus the fake heavy one on the right, then the scale would say the right side is heavier because of the fake coin.
Your solution is to do groups of 2. In the worst case, if you have N coins and say N is even, is you must weigh N/2 times where you get to the fake coin in the very final weighing.
So, one way to do it is to do roughly "binary" search. If N (the total number of coins is even), divide into two stacks of N/2 and weight them. One side has to be heavier, so discard the N/2 that is lighter.
If the result of N/2 is even, repeat. If it's odd, take one coin off and split remaining coins in 2 as before. Measure the two. If they are the same, then the coin you removed is the fake coin. If they are not even and split the remaining coins based on whether the total size at that point is even or odd.
This gives you roughly log N weighs as you decrease the number of coins at each step by nearly half. | 30 | LearnProgramming |

Do they just mean basics like IP addressing and subnet masks? Or are they full routing network positions? | They probably don't know, either. As long as you can troubleshoot network connections, that should qualify you.
But also, don't base your job choices on everything they put in the description. As long as you can do more than half of it, apply & let them decide whether you're qualified. | 130 | ITCareerQuestions |

uoztr4 | People who've divorced, aside from adultery, what were the irreconcilable differences that ended the marriage? | She told me as we stood in front of the judge ending our 7 year marriage, "I never loved you, I just wanted kids." | 3,960 | AskReddit |
uoztr4 | People who've divorced, aside from adultery, what were the irreconcilable differences that ended the marriage? | He could not understand that my wants and needs were as important as his wants and needs. We tried to make it work for 7 years. During that time, for things that were really important to me, I tried explaining logically, asking nicely, begging, crying, yelling, passive aggressiveness... cycled back through all of these options multiple times. (If I knew something was important to him, I would do that. For example, he was really into sports, so I went to all his events, even though that is not at all my thing.)
When I finally threw up my hands and told him it was time to get a divorce, he suddenly panicked and said "What can I do? Do you want me to do half the chores? I'll do it! Do you want me to get a job? I'll do it! Do you want me to buy you presents for your birthday? I'll do it!" So, in other words, he could have been doing that all along, but just couldn't be bothered. That made me so angry. We could have had a nice marriage that we both enjoyed, but no, by the time he saw the light, that ship had sailed.
We are both happily remarried now (to different people) and I joke that his new wife owes me a thank you note. It was his experience with me that taught him to listen to her and take her needs seriously. | 3,850 | AskReddit |
uoztr4 | People who've divorced, aside from adultery, what were the irreconcilable differences that ended the marriage? | ITT: Intimacy (sex/romance), beliefs (religion/spirituality/politics), kids, and I haven’t seen it yet but it’s coming: finances.
The big four. You REALLY need to discuss these things in detail BEFORE getting married. | 2,890 | AskReddit |

up0c2w | 29 male, I had an inner ear infection late last year that I went to doctor for, they prescribed me antibiotics after reviewing and once I finished the pain in my ear went away.
I noticed some time after my hearing getting worst in my left compared to my right. I didn’t think too much of it at first but then it became super noticeable. Laying on my right ear to sleep I couldn’t hear my fiancée next to me what she was saying clearly.
I suspected impacted ear wax and tried flushing out my ear to no luck.
I lazily put it off, until I noticed when “cleaning” my ears with qtip that I had dry and wet blood in my ear.
I finally got a full on ear wax removal kit off Amazon and did that today after doing the 3 days of ear spray to soften the ear wax.

up0ee7 | I've been intrigued in the tech industry after spending much of my downtime at my current desk job looking at different career paths. My job is a safe desk job but I can't let myself get stuck here forever. I was fortunate enough to get a decent entry-level position where a bachelor's is typically a requirement, but I'm itching to pivot into an industry that's constantly changing, challenging my skills, and highly mobile.
I simply don't know where to start that would put me in a good position to leap into the field. I have some business credits at a 4yr university and 2yr community college, but that is all I have to show for education. I'm 24 years young with no major financial responsibilities.
Should I just go back and finish the 2yr degree (my local CC has an associate CS degree) and start applying? Get the bachelors in CS at around 28? Or screw the degrees and learn the skills and do some projects in my spare time?
I have no idea where to start but I am open to any and all suggestions or recommendations. | You should definitely go for the degree.

up0fgq | I am learning about working with NumPy arrays, and I've written the below code to allow me to replace each instance of 0 with a 9 in a 2 dimensional NumPy array. The code works, but it feels hacky to me - is there a more efficient or more pythonic way of accomplishing this?
x_count = -1
y_count = -1
for i in array:
for j in i:
if array[x_count][y_count] == 0:
array[x_count][y_count] = 9
y_count += 1
y_count = -1
x_count += 1 | You're not looking for the most pythonic way, you're looking for the actual way to do it with numpy :)
If you're looping over all your values in numpy, there's a good chance it can be done another way.
Here is the code for your question
```python
import numpy as np
# Create a 100x100 2d array
X = np.random.randint(0,10, (100,100))
# [EDIT from ES-Alexander's comment]
# [CORRECT ANSWER]
# Replace all values of 0 by 9
# X[condition] = result_if_true
X[X==0] = 9
[Alternative]
# Replace all values of 0 by 9
# use np.where(condition, result_if_true, result_else)
Y = np.where(X == 0, 9, X)
```
I'll add that more often than not to change stuff:
1. you get the group of stuff you need to change
2. you apply that change to that group
You don't loop over everything to check and change it individually.
Loops are great, I mean, your thing could be done with arrays too:
```python
# your numpy array
X = np.random.randint(0,10, (100,100))
# your pythony hacky solution
Y = [[ xi if xi != 0 else 9 for xi in x] for x in X]
```
TBH idk what's more pythonic, learning the proper way to do things with libraries or just hacking in python with set comprehensions (single line loops) | 60 | LearnPython |

up0hst | What is the most interesting statistic you know? | My favorite statistic, as a left-handed person myself, is that southpaws die, on average, 13 years younger than right-handed people. I had always heard this attributed to the fact that power tools are generally designed for right-handed users, making many of them awkward and dangerous for left-handed people.
But the real explanation is far more interesting. See, until the middle of the 20th century, being left-handed was heavily stigmatized, and often viewed as a sign of the devil. Teachers would not allow their left-handed students to actually use their dominant hand. This actually proved to be somewhat effective.
So as left-handedness became more accepted, lefty children were no longer forced to use their right hand, but older people who were naturally left-handed but forced to use their right hand continued to identify as right-handed. Because of this, the average age of self-described left-handed people was significantly lower than it would be if not for the previous generation being forced into right-handedness. And when the average age of a group of people is lower, the average age of death tends to follow suit. | 3,340 | AskReddit |

up1coh | For more context... I'm trying writing some code to make a polyphonic synthesiser and doing the note on, note off parts.
I have this for loop...
for (int = 0; i <timeStamp.size()-1;i++)
I had to add that -1 after vector.size() to solve this problem I was having below...
I have the time stamps of note ons and note offs as vector elements. And need to subtract the note off time stamp from the note on to get the time duration. So I wrote it like this.
timeStamp[i+1] - timeStamp[i]
And it came up with an error because the [i+1] made it count past the total number of array elements eventually. So I fixed in the for loop with the timeStamp.size()-1, to prevent that happening.
But now I need to add an extra element to the end of the vector that won't be used . And make all new note on note off timestamps pushback to just before that last element, to make this bandaid solution work. And I'm stumped on that one.
(I'm a first year audio technology student btw) | * You could use `insert(v.end() - 1, ...`.
* You could do `i + 1 < size ? times[i + 1] : duration` instead.
* Don't subtract from `size` without checking it's non-zero. You could instead start the loop at `1`. | 50 | cpp_questions |

up1n1o | I'm confused why I occasionally see people posting about apps on apkmirror (or another apk outside of Google) when the app is already on Google play?
I thought perhaps it has to do with app updates, but every app I checked was running the same version as the one I already had from Google play
Is there some benefit to downloading apks outside of Google?
-Pixel 6 pro | Can be for a variety of reasons
1-Some apps may update/release earlier in some regions so other users would need to wait for an update, so getting the APK directly is an option (that's usually the main one)
2-Unavailability, some apps may choose to display themselves as not compatible with a device for arbitrary reasons (when installing the app externally works just fine)
3-Some people choose to remove Google services from their devices (or don't have them in case of Huawei devices) so they'd need to download apps somewhere else
4-Rare but sometimes the Play Store just decides to hang at pending when downloading apps/updates so having a fallback from where to obtain said updates is welcome | 120 | AndroidQuestions |

up22ei | During the Atlantic Slave Trade, were there any African nations that had the military capacity to harass/disrupt European slavers and slave ships? | Probably the most famous example of an African leader who disrupted the slave trade was Queen Nzinga of Ndongo, who found success in her efforts against the Portuguese in the early-mid seventeenth century, though this question misses one of the key themes in the history of the Atlantic slave trade, which is that it was largely the result of cooperation between African merchants and states on the coast and European traders. Europeans generally did not penetrate into the African interior prior to the nineteenth century: most Europeans who went to Africa went as sailors and ship captains, who usually acted as merchants, to purchase enslaved people from African merchants, as well as other trade goods, such as ivory and gold. In exchange, they often traded European textiles, rum, and especially muskets and ammunition. They operated from small fortified posts often referred to as factories ("factor" was not an uncommon term for merchant in the Early Modern Era). Merchants in cities such as Lagos (in present-day Nigeria) worked with soldiers or states inland to purchase slaves, who were either taken in war or simply outright kidnapped. Olaudah Equiano, described his enslavement as starting during a day when the adults of his Igbo village went to work in the fields for the day, and a couple of strangers hopped a wall and put him and his sister in sacks, and carried them off. He described being brought to various places, closer and closer to the coast, until eventually his enslavers sold him to Europeans, who took him on shipboard and the infamous Middle Passage. A lot of African polities in or near the slave trade did not have a real motivation to disrupt it, unless it was to get better terms for themselves, because Europeans were not the people who usually did the initial kidnapping and human trafficking necessary to bring people into the Atlantic Slave Trade.

up22ei | During the Atlantic Slave Trade, were there any African nations that had the military capacity to harass/disrupt European slavers and slave ships? | During the main period of the Atlantic slave trade, the late seventeenth and the eighteenth century, most African states had the capacity to disrupt the slave trade, at least within their own territories. If we take the "Gold" and "Slave" coasts in West Africa, there are numerous examples of the Dutch, English and Danish forts and trading posts being blockaded, the roads closed for trade, even taken over - more often in the case of trading posts ("factories"), which were also frequently destroyed.
In fact the European presence and trade in enslaved people was heavily dependent on the cooperation and permission of local communities and rulers. Initially those along the coastline, such as the Fante and Gã, in the eighteenth century increasingly also of the larger inland states such as the Akwamu and Asante, with whom the Europeans concluded numerous treaties for property and trading rights. The communities near (or as the Europeans would say, "under") the forts, such as Elmina, Cape Coast, or Christiansborg, would supply the forts with all kinds of food and necessaries and act as intermediaries and brokers with merchants from inland trading in gold, ivory and slaves. At the same time, they were able to withhold their services, without which the Europeans would be in deep trouble, and so disrupt the trade. The issue was that they in turn needed both the protection and the commodities which the European forts offered, to safeguard themselves against other states.
The larger states or empires (Akwamu, Asante, Dahomey) were able to disrupt the trade equally or more so hy blocking the roads and preventing merchants to come to the shore to trade in slaves, besiege forts, and destroy trading posts. But at the same time these states were main suppliers of enslaved people sold to Europeans for various goods, notably guns and ammunition with which these states were able to establish their power further. So they also very much had an interest in facilitating rather than disrupting the trade.
In short, there was situation where the various African states were dependent on European trade in slaves to furnish the wealth and weapons to maintain themselves against and defend against attacks from, rival states. The transatlantic slave trade thus fuelled this competition and these wars, having a deeply destabilising effect on the coast and inland.
But it was not before the nineteenth century, and hence after the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade, that European states were able to establish some kind of hegemony on the west African coast. In fact, the British used the suppression of the slave trade as a main legitimation of this endeavour. Quite absurd, as they had stimulated and facilitated this very trade for centuries.
For more, read eg Shumway on the Fante and the transatlantic slave trade (2011), Strickrodt, Afro-European Trade in the Atlantic World: the Western Slave Coast c.1550-c.1885 (2016), and the works of Robin Law, eg his ‘Here is No Resisting the Country’.

Ignore all tutorials written for Python 2 (except maybe a few select ones that have no *official* Python 3 revision but that nevertheless have example code translated to Python 3, like Black Hat Python), and focus on Python 3.

up2beq | When handling business logic, sometimes I have to fetch data from the database, so I can validate my business rules. However, this approach can cause some race conditions. For example, let's say I have an application with a Business Logic Layer (BLL) and a Data Access Layer (DAL), with the following functions:
*dal.py*
def get_account_by_id(id):
query = text('SELECT * FROM account WHERE id = :id')
with db.connect() as conn:
result = conn.execute(query, {'id': id})
return result.one()._mapping
def transfer(from_account_id, to_account_id, amount):
withdrawl_query = text('UPDATE account SET balance = balance - :amount WHERE id = :id')
deposit_query = text('UPDATE account SET balance = balance + :amount WHERE id = :id')
with db.connect() as conn:
conn.execute(withdrawl_query, {'amount': amount, 'id': from_account_id})
conn.execute(deposit_query, {'amount': amount, 'id': to_account_id})
conn.commit()
*bll.py*
import dal
def transfer(from_account_id, to_account_id, amount):
from_account = dal.get_account_by_id(from_account_id)
if from_account['account_type'] == 'savings':
raise Exception('Transferring from a savings account is not allowed')
dal.transfer(from_account_id, to_account_id, amount)
Most of the time, the code will work as expected. However, since my BLL function is not in a transaction, if the `account_type` gets updated (in database) after I fetch it, the transfer will be successfull even if it shouldn't be.
I could move the `account_type` validation to the DAL:
def transfer(from_account_id, to_account_id, amount):
account_type_query = text('SELECT account_type FROM account WHERE id = :id')
withdrawl_query = text('UPDATE account SET balance = balance - :amount WHERE id = :id')
deposit_query = text('UPDATE account SET balance = balance + :amount WHERE id = :id')
with db.connect() as conn:
account_type = conn.execute(account_type_query, {'id': from_account_id}).scalar_one()
if account_type == 'savings':
raise Exception('Transferring from a savings account is not allowed')
conn.execute(withdrawl_query, {'amount': amount, 'id': from_account_id})
conn.execute(deposit_query, {'amount': amount, 'id': to_account_id})
conn.commit()
But it appears to defeat the purpose of my BLL layer and break the Separation of Concerns. My google search returned some terms like *queueing* and *locking*, but I don't know if that's what I need, and they seem a little too advanced.
So I ask you, how is this problem (if it exists at all) tackled in the real word?

up2m7h | Older devs (graduated before 2000): when you went into the IT field, was it seen as the safe and lucrative option that it’s seen as now? | It was a solid white collar job, comparable to being an accountant or maybe a college professor. You wouldn't expect a fancy lifestyle, but you could afford a house and your kids would go to college (both of which were cheaper then).
It was also much more obscure. If you were in a restaurant and heard someone at the next table mention something a bit beyond home computing - let's say you overhear a remark about SCSI - you'd probably go over and introduce yourself.
Also, the corporate landscape was a few giant R&D companies, not a million startups like it is today. So you were pretty likely to work in a multistory office building with hundreds of workers and its own cafeteria, and your only exposure to programming and tech would be within that company. "Not invented here" was very real - you might well be working in a programming language and operating system that had no meaning outside your own company. And of course all this was closed source. Whole programming languages that were used by thousands of people are lost to history now. I personally did significant work in Protel and BNR Pascal, for example, neither of which were ever made public.
These factors, as well as the different culture around employment, meant that programming jobs were very safe. Mass layoffs weren't invented till the late 70s, job hopping was seen as immoral, and skills tended to be company specific, and as a result people often stayed at one company from graduation all the way to retirement. So these jobs might not have paid as much as today, but they were _very_ safe. They also typically came with a pension, which is a level of financial safety unheard of in today's world. | 180 | AskComputerScience |

up36nf | Hi,so i know someone who has a samsung s10+ he bought it from brazil while he was on there from the store.Now he wants to sell it.But when i switched it off and turned it on i saw a big purplish colour while saying vivo! I tried everything that youtube said to confirm if a samsung phone is real,and yeah it passed every test.But i dont know why does it says vivo while turning it on! Can anyone please help me? By explaining why does that happens? | Vivo is a wireless carrier in Brazil. Almost every single Samsung phone that's sold by a wireless carrier will show the carrier's logo when it turns on, regardless of which country it's originally from | 30 | AndroidQuestions |
