Indeed. The Tibetans claim that this is all a dream, and that the only way to confirm this for yourself is to wake up. Until then, because all of the internal dynamics follow rather precise and well-defined laws (i.e., correlations), it is easy to be fooled into thinking that it is real and external. In actuality, it is all made of "your" mind, in the same way that a dream environment is made of "your" mind. "Your" is in quotes because it is not the mind of the dream character, but of the dreamer. Ultimately the character discovers that the two are the same, by introspecting precisely.

> Either conquest is still okay, or it never was.

I believe the parent's argument was that land seizure by any country which has signed the UN charter after they've signed the charter is not legitimate.

It may not have been legitimate before, but signing the charter saying you agree it's not legitimate does put a nice line in the sand.
Lebron has been on one 'super team', the Heat. The Cavs were never even close to a super team, and the Lakers aren't shaping up to be either.

I grew up watching Michael Jordan but I think the game is much more difficult now. It's much faster, and a little more physical. Adding Lebron to any team makes them a finals contender overnight. MJ didn't have much luck once he left Chicago. MJ wasn't as dominant after his prime, Lebron will be dominant long after his because of his size.

I considered that briefly, but honestly I disagree. Class mobility is a pleasant fiction we tell ourselves about, but the data suggest that it is nothing more. Since 1980, the prime time of our current every-goes-to-college education paradigm, social mobility has fallen off a cliff.[1] And frankly, it was never a major feature of society.

For deeper socioeconomic reasons, pretty much everyone in the truly lucrative fields like law and medicine is already quite well-off, and people who graduate from other degrees generally either end up in poorly-paying fields like academia, or else in careers that half a century ago didn't require tertiary education at all.

The difference between science and history is that science seeks to reduce the scope of its observations to remove bias particularly biases which are subconscious. The ability to do this depends a great deal on the complexity of the system. A tree trunk and pair of calipers is a pretty simple system. Once a couple people have measured the same tree and produced simillar measurements, we can be fairly confident in those measurements.

But the actions of say a parliament are a system with orders of magnitude more complexity and thus we should trust almost no one's intepretation to be unbiased. This is the cursed paradox of history. We so badly want to understand people and societies and it is almost impossible to know we have come to that understanding with any kind of certainty.

Side Rant: This is actually why I see psychology and sociology as dangerous. They often have the rigor of history and cloak themselves in the airs of science.
It doesn't matter if they deserve it or not. I have problems with Windows 10 every time I turn on my PC. I hate the state of modern software. But I don't go out on Twitter and call everyone an idiot. What's the aim here? You think employee #2822156 in the Visual Studio team is gonna think damn, Cassie is right, I'm an idiot and we need to turn this ship around? You think web devs are gonna sign a petition to cancel JavaScript in browsers?

All this does is create is this big network of animosity from like-minded people who like to complain together. At the end of day I'd find it much healthier to spend time with someone like Stephanie Hurlburt than Casey.

He could just stick to providing educational material like he does with HH. Lots of people gain insights from those. The Linus-like talk brings literally nothing to the table except bad feelings.

EDIT: I should also mention that for every person like you and I (because we're on the same wavelength regarding software quality, no arguments there) there's also a crapton of people who are very happy with modern software development. I just have to look around my desk at work and I'll find people cheering for the next VS or Electron or whatever toy release. Hell, even Tommy Refenes said he liked Windows 10. These people exist, are in great numbers and are not going anywhere. So you're better off simply laying down informative facts and tips for anyone willing to listen, rather than engage in name calling.

Basically what you should now about Unicode is that code points don't conceptually match anything of interest for the users except by accident (you restrict yourself to limited number of languages and characters).

Fully supporting Unicode is PITA and most apps and systems choose to cheat. It's completely OK, but you should know that you are doing it and either reject everything you can't handle or treat it as immutable sting.
Why stick to three lines? With only a couple more you could reduce the boiler-plate needed to use it.

I wrote a minimal C test framework too: https://github.com/codeplea/minctest It's got some real-world usage. Still only just one header file, but it'll time each test and if an equal assertion fails it'll print the variable values.
"I'm assuming you're talking about in America pre European colonisation."

Yes, and specifically the area where I am living. That "400 years" has more to do with the specific people I live around and their view that basically anyone before them lacked What-a-Burger restaurants and Shiner beer and are have more in common with deer and possums than humans.

Thanks for the thoughts and the links.

"Most tellingly our cities and buildings would still be around"

I'm sure that my fantasies about how little we actually leave behind and the reality of how obvious it would be are probably different.

Like, I feel like humans have been around for quite a while longer than we have any sort of history about, but I am probably just motivated by fantasies that there were large-scale civilizations on earth that predate our own by millennia but which are wholly lost because we don't have the material archeological record or the linguistic tools to trace the existence of specific cultures (or whatever kinds of tooling that would be necessary to demonstrate such a history).

While I don't think there is evidence for that fantasy, I also think humans are creative, interesting folks and I have a hard time wrapping my head around the idea that folks have been just chilling with oral histories for 20K+ years until they suddenly got motivated 600 years ago or so (or 2000 or wherever we might place those histories).

So thanks for tempering that fantasy with a specific counter factual example.
I used to work with an engineer who felt the same way. At one point, I was asked by management to help him out because a product release had fallen behind by nearly a year. He was working very diligently to implement a nearly impossible specification (300+ hour battery life with a standard 9V), and was trying all kinds of sleep modes and stuff. I asked him what was the need which was driving the 300 hour lifetime and making him do so much work. He said, "I'm an engineer. It's my job to make the design meet the requirements."

I went and talked to the customers and other stakeholders, and found out that 300 hours was actually a nice-to-have. 48 hours with some margin was absolutely necessary, and 100 hours was better than equivalent devices on the market. We got buy-in to change the requirements and released the next week with a 100 hour lifetime.

Just an idea what a different perspective can bring.

Yeah totally inflated It's not like he accomplished a double envelopment of a superior force, a feat yet to be matched. Not like his victories were victories of annihilation. Not like he pierced the Roman heartland through the Alps without the endless steamroll of replacement troops that Napoleon had. Not like he brought Rome to its knees in a 16 year long campaign without so much as a resupply from Carthage.

Alexander was clearly superior, never mind that Persians had absolutely no counter to the Sarissa. Never mind that the Sarissa was so overpowered that he literally just forced marched into every battle and won anyway.
Says Simon Biggs, Damon Lee, and Gernot Heiser. Have you even read the abstract?

> The security benefits of keeping a system’s trusted computing base (TCB) small has long been accepted as a truism, as has the use of internal protection boundaries for limiting the damage caused by exploits. Applied to the operating system, this argues for a small microkernel as the core of the TCB, with OS services separated into mutually-protected components (servers) – in contrast to “monolithic” designs such as Linux, Windows or MacOS. While intuitive, the benefits of the small TCB have not been quantified to date. We address this by a study of critical Linux CVEs, where we examine whether they would be prevented or mitigated by a microkernel-based design. We find that almost all exploits are at least mitigated to less than critical severity, and 40% completely eliminated by an OS design based on a verified microkernel, such as seL4.

If the effect is that huge, of course security trumps pretty much all other considerations. These are consumer OS kernels we're talking about. One that fails to more or less maximise security is obviously the wrong tool for the job. As the title of the paper suggests, in case you failed to read that as well.
My understanding of the issue comes from long-ago high-school Latin classes, and a few websites ([0], [1]).

That's a great contribution. Thank you! And all this time I thought they were mere stylistic choices.

As an undergraduate, I was relegated to the teletypes or a modem on one of the 10 dialup lines -- upperclassmen and grad students got first pick of the CRTs and there was rarely a free one available. I suppose I get the last laugh, as I didn't developer carpal tunnel syndrome.

Coding assembly on a teleterminal using greenbar paper now seems equal parts primitive, badass, and insane.

This has nothing to do with Moore's Law or improving processors directly. If anything, this is a software optimization problem. Half of what I mentioned was locks and schedulers, which are directly software problems. Layer on the fact that a helloworld application in most languages and frameworks is 100s of KB to dozens of MBs, and you have really, really, unoptimized software. 30 years ago, lots of software was written in Assembly and some C. But software has gotten fatter and slower at a much much faster rate than hardware has gotten faster/more parallel since the industry introduced ILP, caches, multi-stage instruction pipelines, etc. with the Pentium/5x86 class microcomputers & processors. Most people never learn to write multi-processing, multi-threaded, multi-programming, event-driven, decentralized or distributed applications. The model that browsers and most languages & frameworks provide is usually inherently sequential and single processing.

If web developers never learn to write multi-processing, multi-threaded, multi-programming, event-driven, decentralized or distributed applications the web will forever look like it looks today.

I really enjoy Clojurescript + React Native as well. Re-Frame + Hiccup is way better than redux + JSX. I'm pretty sure I can write equivalent apps with 50% less code compared to the Redux/UI boilerplate in most React apps.
I don't know if it is necessarily signalling, but I too have a dislike for this type of "reading". I think it mostly depends on the book itself - for example, you probably won't get a lot from a 15-minute summary of Gödel, Escher, Bach by Douglas Hofstadter, but maybe you'll get like 70% from a book like Nudge by Sunstein and Thaler.

> I started getting very regular sleep paralysis.

I do not blame you. I've experienced sleep paralysis more than once, and it is not pleasant at all. I remember trying to scream at the top of my lungs in my head for... I don't know how long but my perception of it was that it was for hours on end. Then all of a sudden something broke through, and I woke my wife up with the loudest scream she's ever heard out of anyone.

Took a while for me to sleep again after that.
Dietary carbohydrate intake and mortality: cohort study and meta-analysis
For me, the first game I played that really used sound to it's best effect was Doom (I think, or it could have been Quake - it was a long time ago alright :-) ).

There was one particular demon that you would hear half whispering in the distance. As soon as you heard that sound you knew that one of those demons was lurking around somewhere but you didn't know where, so you would start lookng frantically round, waiting for it to burst screaming out of the shadows and attack you.

To this day I have never played another game that evoked such a sense of tension and dread as that sinister whispering.
I will add that to my list of stuff to read (I've heard of it, but your post specifically has caused me to add it).

I'm interested in the folks who were living here before the largish empires that we know about (aztecs and myans and olmecs). But my history is super shoddy... I will have to rethink about how by my understandings are in that area.
The question reminds me of a paper I read: Causal Entropic Forces, sometimes referred to as 'entropic intelligence' but the basis is physics rather mathematics.

In this theory, intelligence is equivalent to maximising future possible states in a system. There are some interesting videos on YouTube about it as well.
Intel hasn't released an Atom-based NUC in 4.5 years (they do have a few more modern "Celeron" or "Pentium" branded units -- not sure if these are intended to be efficient or just cheap). But yes, of course my original comment wasn't implying there is anything magical about ARM that Intel couldn't do -- just that historically they have really dominated the performance per watt low TDP space and Intel's current "efficient" offerings still have pretty huge power draw.
Who did the people who wrote that up think they were talking to?
This article misses the elephant in the room (as if how we store fat has any bearing on it, what a joke); men work dangerous jobs.

> A large majority of occupational deaths occur among men. In one U.S. study, 93% of deaths on the job involved men,[4] with a death rate approximately 11 times higher than women. The industries with the highest death rates are mining, agriculture, forestry, fishing, and construction, all of which employ more men than women.[5] Deaths of members in the military is currently above 90% men.[6]

Sure, that's a kind of "self destruct logic," as aclatuts put it. Just make sure you coded and tested that correctly...
I apologize for being inconsistent in my arguing; indeed, I "switch tack". That's because it's actually hard for me to constantly keep the full picture in my head, and sometimes I start thinking like "omg what I've done it's so insecure", but then realize that I already thought about it and still decided to use that strategy because of this, this and this.

In fact I really appreciate you explaining all these details, and to be honest I need to find a decent amount of time to fully wrap my head around it; hopefully on the weekend I'll be able to. I doubt it will change my reasoning about my personal use case, but learning something new about security is never bad. Thanks for that! Hopefully I'll get back to you after learning more.

Also wanted to make 100% sure: are you arguing just about the u2f-zero being insecurely implemented, or the whole concept of backup with the cloned and securely-stored token also being bad? If we imagine that e.g. yubico starts producing matched pairs of tokens (I doubt it would, but still let's imagine), primary and backup with the boosted counter, which are implemented securely enough etc - would it be still bad in your opinion?
Then they should stop electing Hamas.

I honestly think that no one who has followed SpaceX since the early days can hold this view.

The 'oldspace' industry was so absolutely antagonistic and dismissive of reusable rocketry, there's no doubt in my mind that it would not have been pursued. The whole idea was associated with the Shuttle, widely considered to be an albatross for NASA.

Those young engineers you mention would have vanishingly little influence on development of any new rocket program in a deeply bureaucratic, ossified system. Who even are these 'other' rocket companies developing rockets? ULA is the product of government contractors simply supporting Atlas and Delta. Until Bruno, there was no real possibility of a new rocket program. There's Ariane, Roscosmos, China, and India, so mostly impossible for US citizens. It's very likely Ariane would not even be developing a new rocket if it wasn't for the specter of SpaceX.

The most important thing to understand is that rocket development wasn't progressing. It was excruciatingly stagnant, entirely dependent on the government to take the initiative, and subject to constant political muddling.
> Single letter var names

They are also a Haskellers favorite.

There's a non-sarcastic paper running on the internet named something like "descriptive variable names considered harmful". Most of the community agrees with it, including me.
Oddly, I have been assuming this question could be answered by sheer size of men versus women. That is, I would expect that if you looked at the life expectancy of people normalized by height/weight, it would erase differences between men/women.

That said, I can't find any evidence on why I would think that. I'm guessing I'm just going off what we know about dogs, where larger ones don't live as long as smaller ones. And even that is probably much more nuanced than I'm allowing in that short sentence.
Could you explain further? Are there phases of dream where one can or cannot read?

I heard an old tale (pre-internet days) where dreaming happens in a different part of the brain than reading, so supposedly it isnt possible to read in a dream and thus being able to read is a litmus test of whether you're dreaming or not....but i often read during dreams so I couldnt figure it out.

Searching the internet (present day) reveals a spectrum of opinions on whether one can or cannot read during dreams (and thus whether it can be used as a litmus test for reality.) Do you know if there is a definitive opinion on this?

I suppose I can always use a totem.

Sensationalism all the way. At least one of the rivers has seen it already in 1 976 (quite recently as far as Geology and Topography go) and several other rivers in several parts of the world do the same or similar things.

Worst case scenario, the water permanently goes elsewhere, either to an aquifer or to another river or lake. People adapt. End of history.
It's weirdly common in my dreams to have low gravity or to have the ability to swim through the air. I'm pretty sure my brain is recognizing that gravity isn't applying to me in the way it should be if I were standing up (because I'm actually laying down in a bed), and my brain is just confabulating an explanation for it. So that makes me wonder whether that circumstance in your lucid dream (and choices in lucid dreams in general) is really happening because of your free choice, and whether the belief that you decided for that to happen is just part of your brain confabulating an explanation. I assume it and probably most decisions are a mix of both.

Excerpt from near the end of the article (about Summer Palace zodiac heads, separate pieces from the heists):

> The curator guided me toward a dark, carpeted room in the rear of the museum. Inside, each of the four revered heads—the ox, the tiger, the monkey, and the pig—had been given its own display case, in which it sat atop purple velvet cushioning.

> “The first time I saw them, I was so excited,” the curator told me. She spoke in a low, reverential whisper. She was a student then and remembered how, on the day the heads were officially returned, her entire school had watched the ceremony on television. Students wept at their desks.
