> Because of this, there's a feedback loop were even if the sun gets a little hotter or colder, the successful daisy would spread and either warm or cool the Earth in response, effectively acting as a stabilizer. Gaia theory suggests that the world is full of these stabilizing systems.

There are several mechanisms in place on earth to stabilize changes in atmospheric composition and temperature (otherwise an sporadic eruption of a volcano or glacial eras would have thrown things out of whack long time ago). I don't think this is an hypothesis. We have seen some of them in action in recent years, like the advanced rate of reforestation due to larger levels of CO2 in the atmosphere.

The problem is we don't know what would happen if we push these to the limit or what their limit really is. And they are very complex in the way the interact. For example. Warmer oceans and larger levels of CO2 will make phytoplankton grow faster, absorbing more CO2 in return, but it will also accelerate the growth of zooplankton, that feeds on it. This creates a bottleneck.

So TL;DR: yeah, it's cool we have these mechanisms around but the goal should still be to keep things as close to the baseline as possible (and we have been really bad about it in the last century)
Jimmy Carr himself would probably disagree with you and instead cite Harry Hill, as would most UK comedians.
Personally I liked discovery but you need to be aware of a couple things:

- they turned up the drama something fierce. The first two episodes are the worst.
- The technobable is horrible. Something about an intergalactic fungus.

Other than the above two I really enjoyed the first season.

Downvoters care to explain? We have two options: owner wants to install spyware, or someone wants to do that. What’s the deal of going to spyware shop or flying in owner’s land and do simple social engineering there? These measures seem truly idiotic until explained, which you downvoters didn’t care to do.

As of military sites, only regular citizens don’t know where they are. Those who want to know just triangulate it to nearest towns and never have to do u-turns before the gate (where gps is scrambled anyway). It is trivial logic, but when it goes military everyone seems to lose their minds.

Yeah, a for loop breaks the relevant information up into several lines and depending on language it adds quite a bit of boilerplate.

> The difference is marginal and uninteresting.

In practice the difference is real. Web servers are much more difficult to secure than package signing keys. Imagine, for example, someone gets kicked out of the project and people forget to revoke the developer's SSH key. Or imagine social engineering attacks against the hosting provider. Or think about teams that run outdated and vulnerable blog software on the same server that hosts their curl|sh script.

The difference ends up being substantial once you look at typical web hosting infrastructure. There's a reason why people don't copy code signing keys to their web server.
This is fairly good [0]. Note that knowing the "swim parallel to the shore" advice is solid, but that doesn't stop it being seriously scary if you get caught. You still need to be a good swimmer and you can still panic.

I usually have a quick chat with a lifeguard if there is one, and/or check out what flag system they are using (usually pretty obvious like red/green but it can be different depending where you are). Research a beach on the internet for a few minutes before you go.

? It is completly irrelevant, the proportion it represent is next to none.

For your reference

> The largest group of immigrants and their descendants in Belgium are Italians, with more than 450,000 people, which is well over 4% of Belgium's total population. The Moroccans are the third-largest group, and the largest Muslim ethnic group, numbering 220,000. The rest consists mostly of French-speaking people from Brussels, Turks, Kurds, Dutch, French, Portuguese, Spaniards, Greeks, Bosniaks, Algerians, Congolese, Vietnamese, Poles, Indians, and Guineans (around 23% of Belgium's population is of non-Belgian origin).

Moroccan people swim just fine.

I really do wonder how can people have that idea on their mind at all time even in cases like this where it doesn't even begin to be in scope.

Really? If we're going to be that pedantic, then it's probably more like " Google's business is using your information to build products it sells to third parties." They're not using my information as a tool, they're using my information (location, interests, browsing habits, searches) to sell a product (advertising). At that stage, they _are_ selling my data.

Today, data is the new oil. If you have a legal tap to people's data - you're valued hundreds of billions.

Google and Facebook have legal taps, users willingly provide their chats, emails, links, likes, photos, connections, locations, because its great service and its free. Both are Ad companies by main revenue, and its vital for them to use people's data.

AWS, Azure, Apple are not Ad companies, their main revenue is paid infrastructure, paid software and paid hardware. Their customers are not users, but companies. Reputation risks of openly using the data tap themselves will ruin existing revenue. What companies doing with users data is not their concern. Apple is an exception, with closed ecosystem, strong privacy and security and main income from hardware.

Cloudflare is something in between. They provide reverse proxy services, where your little site sits behind huge wall, for free. Income comes from paid WAF security features and ability to upload to CF your own SSL certs. In any case, you have to allow MITM of people's data.

Incentive for CF to use user's decrypted data is huge - it may shoot it up to ranks of Google and Facebook, to $100x Billions. So I have my doubts if that data is not being harvested.

I think I've said too much already, shutting up :)
My experiences using a Pi-Hole at home (Debian VM) have been very good.

Great job Pi-Hole team! Thank you!

Actually the incentives encourage non-reproducibility. Any effort put into reproducibility increases the chance that the results won't be publishable. The worst outcome is not publishing crap, it is not publishing at all. This needs to change.

It's one of those things you want to be true.
Except in cases where most of the team is very junior, a team lead is rarely the person on the team with the most advanced technical skill, because that’s not what being a team lead is about.

The lead position requires soft skills, including leadership and communication skills. It requires the ability to prioritize business needs and strategy over technical considerations. It typically requires an interest in and aptitude for mentorship. It also requires an interest in and aptitude for a managerial career track that not all developers have.

It also takes a stupid amount of time away from bands on software development, which is an unappealing idea to many developers, and requires active participation in corporate politics outside the team.

These are not thing everyone wants to do. If you don’t enjoy the job you have and you do want those responsibilities, then start looking for a team lead role yourself. Otherwise, accept that the company’s choice of a team lead (before you ever joined the team) is not a slight on your skills, nor does it change the job you were hired for.
She/He is right and I was a bit cynical in my answer. There are some real industrial projects that used formal methods. I have in mind Airbus with ASTREEE, the Meteor subway system (Paris' subway line 14), Windows' drivers with the SLAM analyzer...

Also, JPL released its model-checker Java PathFinder and hosts every year the Nasa Formal Method conference so I'm pretty confident that at least someone at NASA is interested in formal methods =)

Domino-effect of climate events could move Earth into a ‘hothouse’ state
The homeostasis might work in a limited range under which the biological world evolved in the recent past. Exceeding that range could quickly turn to a runaway geological event of rapid climate change, a state transition in a complex and unpredictable system.

Take for example the great oxidation event happening 2.5 billion years ago. As oxygen excreting algae began to take over methane producing organisms, oxygen started to build up in the atmosphere - first slowly, as there were lots of stuff to oxidize, like methane and iron. Eventually, these naturals sinks were saturated and oxygen levels reached the critical toxic point for the other species, leading to a runaway die-off where more and more oxygen was released and methane - a strong green house gas - rapidly disappeared from the atmosphere. This shock was so massive it produced the 400 million year Huronian glaciation - a whole planet freeze unlike any since.

So I have full faith life on Earth will eventually restore the feedback loops and get the temperatures back in the sweet spot. I have less faith that this will happen soon, or that most species, humans included, can survive such a massive transition event.
Well presumably we could still collect, dry and burn what accumulates on the shore, and the rest would fall to the seabed. If the alternative is a hothouse Earth, with large sections of the planet rendered uninhabitable, geoengineering schemes like this are going to be necessary. We can start with iron fertilisation experiments - Australia has a lot of it, and is near oceans.
Nice, but classifications can be better. The Deep House track wasn't really exemplary IMO :) Then you hear Larry Heard - Can You Feel It which is classified as Chicago/Garage house...
> The perspective as to what's going on with this demo is much different if you actually play the game. It's a strategy low skilled players engage in with the hope of overwhelming opponents with brute force. The character restrictions favor it.

As a dota player who has been in the 99.5th percentile mmr at several occasions (right now at 98th) I disagree with this and a lot of the stuff you're trying to say. Dota is a strategy game, and the meta dictates what strategies are strong at a given point in time. The death ball strategy that the bots played is a result of that being the best strategy in the bot meta. So in contrast to what you said, it's not low skilled players that play these strategies, but rather high skilled players that play whatever strategy is popular in the meta (regardless of how 'intelligent' it is), in order to increase the chances of winning.
High quality data is nice, but at some point one has to get on with one's own life, rather than wait for data. I bought a pair of glasses to filter out blue light on the advice of my dad (who has an eye problem and was recommended them by his doctor) and it has made a real difference - I can now do a full day's coding in front of my LED screen without feeling like my eyes went up against a cheese grater. YMMV
"One process programming" is a really under-rated philosophy. Communication overhead can be substantial and concurrency issues are harder to debug. A single process that you can just stop and inspect in the debugger is easier to work on. Especially if you're only one developer as well.

Two big pieces of software I worked on used this philosophy. One was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeus_Web_Server - nowadays its niche is occupied by nginix, but back then its advantage was being a one-process-per-core select()-based solution, compared to Apache's process-per-concurrent-request solution. It was also absurdly, unnecessarily portable, being written in vanilla POSIX. Ran on a dozen different flavours and architectures of UNIX almost all of which are now dead.

Another was chip design software for a startup. Eventually it would have been useful to parallelise computation, but in the meantime it was so much faster to develop it and just buy big machines and leave it running overnight.

I don't quite get how messages and method calls interact. Could the process intercept the method call by explicitly receiving or somehow influence the process module to do something else?

Channels are a great idea! What capabilities (send on channel/receive on channel) can you forward to other processes? As Cloud Haskell explain, in distributed systems we must not allow send on channel to be forwarded.

Regarding channels, both linear channels and mailbox types for unordered interactions are interesting ideas worth looking into.

Great project!

reading the article about no phones/cameras/mics allowed makes me wonder what will happen if we ever get to the in eye AR word some of us envision where there is no turning that stuff on since it's embedded in your head and you're likely as depended on it as I am on mdn and stack overflow
As an engineer in a systems neuroscience lab, I'm likely biased, but this is a misguided point of view: sufficiently flexible models for data have been around for a long time, but they're not useful because they provide no insight into the mechanisms at work. A DL model which might perform 100% still requires study itself to produce anything with explanatory value.

edit to add, we are in fact doing projects with DL on real data, and it's extremely difficult to reverse-engineer the trained DL model to figure out how/why it does what it does: the parameters are simply uninterpretable without a good theory or mechanism, and this is precisely what is sought.
And this is also part of why gender diversity on technical teams matters.

From the article:

> All in all, super-powered seaweeds could sequester around 173 million metric tons (190 million tons) of carbon each year, about as much as the annual emissions of the state of New York.

It's not that much in comparison to the emissions of the entire industrialized world.

Every bit helps of course, but it's not a magical solution to our problems.

You risk creating a locust-like scenario, where it's impossible to fully control areas with specimen outbreaks.
But those are not the ones that will be around you when you're in a class learning. You can learn in a class with people you've never seen before and you'll never see again, and when it's over, the problem is solved. Nobody needs to know that you went to classes, you don't have to tell anybody.

The only "difficulty" is that you have to not care what complete strangers think about you trying to learn. Your actual friends and acquaintances won't know anything.
As you have stated elsewhere negotiation has been a huge problem in other protocols and makes things much more complicated and I agree with that. My concern was merely with how absolute this stance is i.e. if the sentiment runs along the line "Wireguard will only ever support a single version and potential upgrade paths are the problem of the users" or more like "Wireguard will avoid negotiation wherever possible but when the cipher primitives are deprecated (not broken) by the community we might support introducing a replacement but keeping support for the old primitives for a while for upgrade purposes".

Have you considered mentioning the way you intend to deal with cipher breakage/deprecation more explicitly on the Wireguard page?

>>I don't know why emacs is such a barrier to everyone else or why vim is so attractive.

Its simple. Its called 'The Rise of Worse is better'.

Mainstream programming tools moved out of the control of power users long back, like decades back. We are now in a phase where every thing has to be 'easy' to use. Editors too are a part of it.

Look at the continuing rise in interest in languages like Python and Go, and decline in interest in languages like Lisp and Perl. People don't want to invest any time in learning and sharpening their skills more than what is minimally necessary. In fact Go's popularity shows people don't need anything at all. Just give people decision statements, and loops. That is all they need. Selling power user tools to this crowd is asking them to spend their meagre 40-hr work week time budget on things they never even want to.

Basically bulk of programming moved to API plumbing work long back, and they are not coming back ever.

When the James Damore memogate episode was playing out in prime here, there were full articles posted on this very forum about the 'problems with nerd culture'- Which basically involved people spending time outside work to learn more things as inherently being anti-diversity, evil-like and a big problem to those people who want to do the 40 hour week happily go through their jobs.

Basically the world is only getting dumber.

I'm quoting from the article, which admittedly uses Australian dollars. But I still don't see a need to pay any amount of money for the benefit of hypothetical visitors who already don't care enough to install a free adblocker on their phone.

I'm sure there are valuable use cases for the Pi-Hole; in an small office environment, or if you fear some very specific malware, or if you really, really want a bulletproof way to block ads in free phone games. I object to the article making it sound like it's something everyone needs in their home, giving no coherent evidence and ignoring the real drawbacks. (The first thing I do when a site doesn't work is try disabling AdBlock Plus; even ignoring anti-adblockers, quite a few poorly-designed sites just break if an adblocker is running. A hardware adblocker that can't be locally or temporarily disabled with a few clicks is a bad idea.)
