I'm not sure if this makes much of a difference to your case. I imagine most employees are using different profiles for work and personal. I always did this.. it makes for a nice firewall as well between accounts (never need to worry about awkward history when I present to co-workers).

Yup. When I look at the comments on the stories the local news back home posts to Facebook, I see hundreds if not thousands of vile racists come out of the woodwork - most of them with names I recognize.

Most tools within the sciences that require vast computation power aren't pretty, nor output data in a nice, readable form. What do you think university supercomputers are for? They run extremely stripped-down operating systems[0] designed for a single application & single user.

I'm at a research university (as a student) and I guarantee that most home-grown tools here are not user-friendly, but exist to get the job done. This data is then interpreted in other, more user-friendly programs/environments like Tableu/Matlab/Julia/whatever.

The Mediterranean will eventually disappear
All human Zygotes start out as female, and a burst of androgens makes some fetuses develop male sexual characteristics. If those androgens aren't released, the child retains female sexual presentation, even if they have XY chromosomes. As is commonly mentioned, this is why men have nipples even though they're not functional for men.

According to my very weak understanding, it's easier to prevent that from happening than it is to accidentally introduce enough xenoandrogens to cause a XX fetus to develop male sexual characteristics.

As a daily user of xsv, I can't imagine why a CSV processor would need to be competing with SQLite in terms of performance. For me, xsv hits the right niche in 2 very important and frequent use-cases:

1. One-off analyses or tasks involving relatively small datasets, like trimming the output of a command-line Twitter tool into xargs to, say, unfollow everyone who hasn't tweeted this year, or isn't following me and has fewer than 100 followers. If I were attempting to do a deeper analyses, SQLite would be better (because of the query syntax), but xsv/csvkit works incredibly well for quick explorations/filtering/sorting. Here's an example using csvkit (haven't quite gotten used to all of xsv's syntax) and the t command-line tool: https://gist.github.com/dannguyen/7213b16b7de79ad9c89fc2297d...

2. Prepping data for importing into SQLite; for very large public datasets, I like using xsv/csvkit to trim columns and filter out rows before importing them into SQLite. This is especially convenient since SQLite doesn't allow for dropping columns once a table is created.

If I'm ever working with data big enough to need SQLite-like performance, then I probably need SQLite's query syntax and other features. xsv is already flexible and performant for what I need in my data pipeline.

Which is why I said "bupe" instead of naming either formulation. Suboxone is just as IV-abusable as Subutex itself. It makes little difference in practice. (I'm on Subutex, but that's because I'm on 0.8mg daily -- down from 32mg originally. I've never abused mine, because I really don't see the point, but I've seen enough people who have). Subutex is barely prescribed at all in Australia, where I'm from, but it makes effectively zero difference in IV usage -- the naltrexone does nothing compared to how strongly bupe itself binds to your receptors.
That’s the one thing I missed when I moved down to a sedan.

> What do you mean by at the same time? Those two photons reach Bob at exactly the same instant?

In the original idealized model of Hawking, yes. That is what the spacetime geometry says. One way of thinking about it is that, with this spacetime geometry, the path of any light ray emitted outward at the event horizon travels along that horizon into the future, but the area of the horizon decreases as the hole evaporates. At the instant of the hole's final evaporation, all of the light rays emitted anywhere along the horizon are at the same point as the final evaporation of the hole, and they all go outward from there together. This is a highly idealized model; but that's what the model says.

> We had already agreed that General Relativity should imply Bob never sees Alice reach EH, regardless of quantum effects

No, we haven't. You claimed that, and I pointed out that you were wrong. Bob never sees Alice reach the EH in the classical GR model, with no quantum effects. Quantum effects change the model. In the model including quantum effects, Bob does see Alice reach the EH. See above and my previous posts.

> there cannot be a chain of events whereby Alice evaporates into photons (emanating from EH), and those photons (originating from Alice's mass-energy) hit Bob before the photons of Alice when she was near

This is correct. And it is also what the model of a hole evaporating by Hawking radiation says. All of the light signals emitted by Alice before she reaches the EH will reach Bob before he sees the hole's final evaporation (and the light signal emitted by Alice when she crossed the EH).

> I could be terribly mistaken of course, but your arguments did not convince me

You are terribly mistaken, and you didn't read my arguments carefully enough. See above.

> the expansion of the EH as a body approximates

I don't know what you're talking about here. As a black hole evaporates by Hawking radiation, the area of its horizon decreases. It doesn't increase.
linuxbrew tryikg to install stuff at a non standard location like /home/linuxbrew makes me question their technical decisions to get started with it.
I know about interlining and trunk lines etc.

So about a third of the fleet is incompatible right now. I assume the problem is equally bad in both A division and B division (fat trains and thin trains for those reading along).

The track sharing doesn't seem like a huge deal in my proposal. Services usually don't share track across trunk lines. I can't think of any platforms that are shared by trains on different trunks. As an example you could probably get away with enforcing A/C/E are new cars only. Worst case you delay installing the barriers on the shared track segments. There's also the obvious solution of using the L and G as the system test case (yet again). MTA should take the opportunity while the L is shut down anyway for the Canarsie tunnel repair clusterfudge.

You're right that it would reduce operational flexibility a bit. In theory service reroutes should be uncommon enough for this to not matter. But you and I know better. If I were to draft this as a serious proposal I'd look at reroute probabilities, come up with some way to estimate the cost incurred by inflexibility, and optimize the installation of platform walls to balance this cost constraint.
likely to be met with scoffs of “good riddance”

My first thought was that this may also cast light on the rise of the trans rights movement. If men are becoming less male, surely this relates to so many people saying "I'm really a woman trapped in a man's body." or vice versa.

This may also help explain why trans people are so often met with open hostility as "freaks" etc. No, I am not defending their mistreatment.

But given how charged a topic that is, I imagine bringing it up will get my comment flagged to death, not taken seriously.

I'm a fairly traditionally feminine woman and spent a couple of decades as a homemaker and full-time mom. I am routinely met with open hostility from self proclaimed trans activists, feminists, etc.

I personally like "manly men" and that's also not a PC thing to admit to. So I will suggest it isn't just men the world is saying "good riddance" to. It's also women in some sense.

If you want to argue that, please stop and think before dismissively attacking me. People talk all the time about how gender is a social construct and is not merely the bits between your legs. I stayed home with my kids and that had a profound impact on how I think about many things. And the way I think is alien to that of career women and they are frequently openly hostile to it.
Indeed. I'll continue to enjoy George Pal's 'Time Machine' film, despite the fact that I haven't seen any store-window mannikins for a couple of decades.

Quite sure there'll never be an AI character quite as interesting.
Thanks! I have not used shaarli and bookmark-archiver personally. But from their documentation it looks like shaarli doesn't archive in various formats and doesn't have auto-tagging feature. About bookmark-archiver, I think one can't add links into it directly via web-interface and doesn't organize links directory-wise apart from features like auto-tagging and summarization. I'll look into alternative bookmark managers, and will try to provide some comparison chart in README.

I grew up and live in Seattle, where loneliness and meeting people is such problem we have our own Wikipedia page about it, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle_Freeze

When meeting people from other cities, it is hard to explain exactly how bad Seattle is. One case in point, the Seattle meet up scene is dead compared to other similar cities. Even the engineering groups (PHP, React Native) that have hundreds of active participates in other cities will have dozens to none in Seattle.

Put 10 people from Seattle in a room and suggest an activity, and everyone will nod their heads, say that sounds like a great idea, and then never take the final steps of organizing to do it.

This Seattle mentality lead me to found https://www.thawd.net where we are melting the social freeze. I'm a technologist, so I have to believe that technology can solve problems, and I hope that the system Thawd is building can help reduce loneliness. The tl;dr is that Thawd removes all the friction of social activities, and presents the user with a great big "get me together with other people right now" button. Everything Thawd does happens super short term, 3-72 hours in the future, and our MVP is not eating dinner alone, we form a group of people who'll enjoy spending a couple hours talking with each other.

If I don't solve the problem, I sure hope someone else does, because, honestly, Seattle is a lonely place to live.

Another interesting area of program semantics that hasn’t seen much attention afaik is in the design of languages whose programs form some algebraic structure.

My area of research is concatenative programming, where concatenation of two programs denotes the composition of those programs, and the empty program is the identity function (on the “program state”, which is usually a stack). That means that the syntax and semantics of the language both form monoids, and there’s a homomorphism from the syntax onto the semantics.

Several years ago, I was trying to come up with languages with other more interesting algebraic structures, so you could apply theorems from those structures to programs. A particular challenge is a language whose structure forms a nontrivial ring¹, in particular a Euclidean ring—then you could find the greatest common divisor of two programs, and because a Euclidean ring is a unique factorisation domain, you could also factor a program into prime subprograms. I was fascinated by what that might mean and whether it could be useful.

Unfortunately, it was that “nontrivial” aspect that I could never get past. The language always ended up insufficiently powerful to express anything of interest, its algebraic structure was trivial (e.g. there’s only one program), or it ended up having a weaker structure (e.g. an idempotent semiring). Chris Pressey also worked on this concept a bunch around 2007, and produced some results like Cabra² and Burro³, but ran into similar dead ends like Potro⁴.

Honestly the anachronistic technology is cute in a sort of steampunk/cyberpunk way, I don't think it detracts from the story. It's also not hard to imagine it's all taking place in a parallel universe that diverged down a different path of technological development.

I imagine there are multiple companies would be more than willing to build cars for Apple at the right price. Companies that really know what they’re doing.

I bet Honda, Toyota, or maybe forward would be happy to do it for the right price. As long as they don’t think Apple is too big of a competitor it seems like a win-win. And since we all know Apple is going to be focusing on the high-end/luxury segment it might be worth their while.
WordPress Gutenberg will be the end of WordPress

That's about as boring arguments as I expected. You're giving a standard way out that religions use, which is to base your claim on an unfalsifiable mechanism: if you believe it unconditionally it'll work, if you don't it won't, etc. I could replace your instances of "psi powers" with "Gnomic magic", "fairy dust", or the most absurd thing you could come up with, and you likewise couldn't prove me wrong. Nevermind that there are literally billions of cameras and microphones around the world those days waiting to capture something like this.

> He believed that psi is an emergent phenomenon (like consciousness and intelligence)

I find usually those people tend to avoid the actually really weird/provoking questions staring right at us -- like how does a bunch of neurons firing electrical signals produce our consciousness and all personal experiences, why is our universe and lives like this in particular, or how to reconcile with death and finiteness -- in favor of comfortable wishful thinking, mysticisms and obscurantism (Penrose lately seems to have fallen into this modus).
