Neutrinos are weird little things, and pass clean through any sort of matter almost every time. The famous statistic is that you'd need a light-year of solid lead just to block half of all neutrinos.

What surprises me about this article is that catching neutrinos tunneling up through the earth is considered surprising. I had thought that neutrino detectors generally caught just as many neutrinos from below as from above; the earth is essentially transparent to them.

To answer your question #2: the detector is no better than anything else at stopping neutrinos (just as detecting their stoppage), but--even though the chance of any given neutrino stopping anywhere in the earth is almost nil--there are so very very many of them that the probabilities add up to a decent number impacting within the detector.
This.

Don't forget integer type defined by implementation. Very easy to shoot yourself in the foot in when consumers/producers are not written in the same language, even more if it's a mix of dynamic and static languages.

Oneofs, at least with gogoproto, are quite unpleasant to work with. There's a separate intermediate type generated for each member of a oneof field. With the following message:

message Foo {
oneof bar {
Baz baz = 1;
Qux qux = 2;
}
}

You'll have the types Foo, Baz and Qux like you'd expect, but you also get Foo_Baz, which does nothing but wrap the Baz for use with the Foo.bar property, and Foo_Qux, which does the same thing but for Qux instead of Baz. To make matters worse, the types all implement an interface which is declared but not exported. Stringing the whole thing together to assign to a oneof looks like this:

foo := &rpc.Foo{Bar: &rpc.Foo_Baz{Baz: &rpc.Baz{}}}

That example makes it look better than it really is; in practice, you'll probably have more properties and longer names.

I generally only read fiction, so I see video games and books as being in the same category: They're great for relaxation and entertainment, and occasionally bring a new plot or idea, but generally not nearly as useful as fixing or making things.

And that's okay. But getting myself to believe that was okay took some doing. I struggled with it for years before I finally found a good balance that didn't make me think I should be more production instead of relaxing.

8088 internally with a custom ASIC for the board support (no DMA). I think it launched in 1990.

Memory was 128K of Intel flash with 8K fixed boot partition and 64K of RAM.

Z8530 for the UART, Rockwell chipset for the fax portion. I seem to remember lots of messing around getting the parameters correct for the filters to detect dial tone for various european telco approvals. There was also a pass through port to allow plugging a fax machine in the back (can't remember how that worked though)

I can't remember what we used for the floppy disc controller (I seem to recall we supported single density floppies so we didn't use a multi-IO chip) and later models used a IDE drive with a 16->8 bit converter card.

Somewhere I probably still have the schematics.
Sorry I should have better specified. The magic is in the asics that are programmed with their own proprietary magic, but most of the userspace is written in python, and it is relatively well written python.

Issues with 2018 MacBook Pro Keyboard
This may be unpopular but I really do think that spending should be included in a ranking system. There are a lot of aspects of education that standardized testing can't (or won't) measure: access to extra-curricular programs, funding for art/music departments, technical education, etc. I'm willing to bet a lot of people here have experienced first-hand the difference that having access to a decent computer lab can make. You're not going to see that reflected in tests.

Also, based on my own anecdotal experience of standardized testing in grade school, these tests rarely include questions about "controversial" topics in history or scientific ideas that are opposed by Christian fundamentalism. I suspect these are major areas where southern districts would struggle, given their disproportionate implementation of cough alternative textbooks.

Overall, this smells of a common trend in American institutions where there's an ideological interest at play. An issue is raised, and it's decided that we need more data to decide. The data collection (in this case standardized testing) is designed in such a way that it produces results that skew toward the ideological position. Then the bad data is used to justify the ideological position. Law enforcement works the same way. Actually now that I'm thinking about it so do our elections.

I'm not sure how I feel about that argument, did we really just find a place where public attacks on a person are better? I would think at most people actually involved in something that relies on the person may have a valid argument for such a thing, if it sticks to a concrete subject they actually have reason to care about. Other than that, I don't see the general public getting involved in discussions of a person (as such, in general) as a good thing.

The study on the hacker-powered security ecosystem
I started with a Powerbook 12inch. Totally fell in love with that thing. By far the best trackpad at the time, plus a very decent keyboard. It even had CD burner and expandable RAM in an incredibly tight package. From then on their hardware became worse with every iteration in some way or another - either it was graphics driver issues, thermals, faulty boards, or now completely crap I/O and keyboard. But IMO till 2016 they still had overall the better package than windows PCs, mostly thanks to a far superior OS.

SLS will likely never service the ISS if it flies- it is designed for deep space missions and constructing the Deep Space Gateway station in cislunar orbit. Orion also is not ready for use, and even if it was it has only been flown on the Delta IV which is not human-rated.

One other option is the Boeing CST-100, however after its engine test failure this last summer it likely won't fly this year either. But like Dragon it is thought to be almost ready.
I don't know if I would build something from scratch that was based on XMPP or even on the idea of messaging. I keep thinking that the Twitter/FB/chat models of socializing is a very limited form of online sociability and that we could do better.

I think it would be better to build something that was sufficiently compelling and had enough new features/UX that people would want to use it all on its own, as something better than the existing ad-supported options, and then we would enable federated options as an alternative form of access. But I think the primary UX has to be "log in to web app" or "install mobile clients," not "fiddle with XMPP settings" (because that is too fiddly, like you're saying, and you have to meet people where they are).

This being said — it's excellent that you run your own server and managed to get some of your social network to actually use it!
I was a SWE L3 at Google for three years. I left after having similar problems with the promotion process mentioned by others.

I've been working in OT systems for years (G Wave, ShareJS, ShareDB, some other stuff). I'm consistently surprised by how badly academic papers predict OT systems will perform. In reality, they perform great. My little C implementation of text OT can handle about 20M text operation transforms / second[1].

Part of the gap is that many academic papers model text operations as just single character edits. If you do that, copy+pasting some text into an editor can inject thousands of insert operations into the system all at once. But that design is really sloppy - nobody actually designs real world OT systems like that. A much better way to design text OT operations uses a list of skip, insert and delete parts. That way you can arbitrarily compose edits together. This way an entire pasted string just gets inserted in one operation and performance is fine. (Or if the user goes offline, you can merge all the edits they do into a single change, then transform & commit it all at once).

I've still never seen the OT algorithms of anything I've worked on have a meaningful impact on performance. Actually thinking about it I'm not sure if I've ever even seen the OT code show up in profile traces.

If you want to run an older OS have you considered just running a hypervisor like ESXi or KVM and then handling OS through that? There are lots of good solutions there at this point, and it can be a fun way to play with a lot of other cool features and different OS as well. You can even get near-native performance even for heavy duty graphics applications by using PCI passthrough. The only caveat that adds for hardware choice is that you'll want a processor with an IOMMU for the hardware virtualization support (AMD calls this "AMD-Vi", Intel "VT-d"). AMD is pretty good about not artificially segmenting there, I think everything modern they make supports it (all Ryzen/EPYC at least) though probably worth double checking overall system compat. Intel splits this all up more, Xeon always has everything but support varies elsewhere and you really just have to check the specs.

Even so that gives a ton of hardware choice and flexibility, and will give you more options to protect and control the systems beyond the OS themselves which is very important if you want to run something older since security patches will stop. But if you're judicious about what you use for what tasks and how you handle I/O it offers another option, and can make hardware changes a lot easier as well by abstracting away the metal somewhat. Basically a lot of the advantages that make virtualization so popular in general for business can be just as applicable at home these days, most of us have cycles and memory to spare and can afford to burn a bit of it on making a more pleasant software experience or working around issues coming from a higher level. In this case for example you could be running your Windows VM on virtual disks on a NAS/DAS or even the same system but supporting better snapshotting, and if the data was deleted simply roll back the entire VM to pre-upgrade state.

Yeah, from the perspective of starting something cooperatively funded from scratch, I think it's basically about "what would it cost to get something running and keep it worth using," balanced against "what would people actually be willing to pay?"

In my dreams, if the price point were low enough, like "the cost of two coffees per year" or something, and it wasn't irritating to pay it, there are plenty of people who want out of FB and could afford that.
It means that in English, too.
As a dedicated tester for a large-ish company I can't even imagine how many problems would go unreported if they even got rid of half of our department.

I've read/heard a couple times from people ridiculing Apple's HFS pointing out all the ways in which NTFS is superior, so in my mind at least the filesystem I never thought of as an advantage on macOS. I guess I was wrong then.
The first bullet point is about how we have to convince people to include the definition that Han Chinese are white. The implication here is that in order to raise global opposition against the Chinese, you first have to redefine them as white, because whites are the true victims of global outrage. This is part of the "white genocide" conspiracy theory.

The second point talks about how we have to redefine Chinese history to talk about colonisation as something that they did on purpose, not by accident. This is also part of the white supremacist conspiracy theory that Columbus-did-nothing-wrong. The biggest part of white supremacism is that whites are being blamed unfairly. White people (whatever that means, whoever that group may be) are not guilty and are not to be blamed. They are victims of circumstance, unfairly maligned by shrill SJWs/leftists/liberals.

Third bullet point goes on about how someone is to benefit by blaming the now-white, now-colonisers Chinese. Once you identify these oppressors that will benefit from blaming the Chinese (implicitly, unfairly), you can proceed to follow the points of the anti-white conspiracy theory.

Fourth bullet point goes on about war chest funding. A big part of the alt right conspiracy theory is that there's a lot of money coming (mostly from "The Jews!") and that all the opposition you're seeing is paid protesters or crisis actors, cashing cheques from George Soros or similar.

Step 5a has genocide in scare quotes. Because, of course, genocides aren't real. This is from holocaust denialism.

I did numerical simulations on black holes and the scientific method felt incredibly concrete to me. I was working on models that would be put to test by LIGO and further future GW detectors. Theory->prediction->test (in observation if not in lab). I don't know how much more concrete that gets.
The term "self-defeating prophecy" implies that the prophecy itself is the cause for it not being correct. A lot of the things mentioned in this article just seem like incorrect predictions (or predictions where the cause isn't obvious).

Judging from the state or Server 2016/Windows 10 updates I suspect not. How a rollup update for 2016 takes 30 mins+ to install (and often fails), yet the 2012 rollup is done in 10 mins is still baffling. This is on 2012 machines with much longer update histories.
I am not a fan of "basic action novels", because at that point you can go play GTA or play paintball, and you would get way more entertainment out of it. I guess I am arrogant in the sense that I like reading books that at least have a competent human being as the author, i.e. not Sanderson or whoever wrote that supernatural detective series that a certain demographic used to read.

But I see what you mean - there is a time and a place for anything.
OK. At least I understand more where you idea comes from. I'm not a fan of any subculture but a fan of truth nothing but truth.

Again, what's the neutral equivalent? I mean the entities that often use some maybe unintentional but very sophisticated "deceptional" tricks( I know the word is quite strong).
