I'm not a superior person at all, and I never meant to imply that. But you ought to know that unsweetened tea and unsweetened lemonade still has plenty of sodium (or in the case of actual lemon juice added, fructose sugars (which are not required to be listed on the labels)), which is also a flavor enhancer. My point is that it's not water that tastes bad, it's that some people get so used to salt and sugar in everything they eat that plain old water tastes gross.

> I'd find salt water preferable in terms of taste

I'm absolutely sure that's true for varying levels of salt, as shown by your preference for unsweetened tea.

Salt or sugar, they're both flavor enhancers, which was the point of my post.

Also, it's entirely possible that people who hate water live in places where a lot of minerals and iron are in the water, which is common (and a lot of people don't like that irony taste). Or, the reverse where people grew up in areas _with_ a particular mineral in the water which is no longer there. Personally, a nice ceramic filter on a Big Berkeley, put into the fridge for a day, ooooh man I'm gonna go hydrate currently.

Well, it depends on where you search. I know at least 6 people (friends and family) who use KDE and nobody who uses Unity or Gnome.
You won’t get any real answers because this is all pseudoscience nonsense.
Short answer: No.

Long answer: When equal amounts of matter and antimatter collide, they are annihilated. They haven't disappeared or canceled out, they’re converted into pure energy. Both mass and energy are just different aspects of the same thing: you can turn mass into energy, and you can turn energy into mass. Black holes turn everything, both matter and energy, into more black hole.

Chlorinated chicken and the reasons some markets don't permit it is rather misunderstood - it's a potential safety issue for the workers who produce it, not the people who eat it.
Was it an option to present the paper as normal, but then have a sudden surprise twist at the end which left the audience both surprised and feeling the pathos of imagining how they would feel about discovering the last 18 months of their research was invalid?

Or am I mistaken in reading "present" as "stand up in front of a crowd of people"?

In that situation wouldn't it be impossible to shove antimatter into a black hole in the first place because the gravity-antigravity force would repel instead of attract?
This is super nice to look at. I think it’s acceptable for 1 line of code but watching 5 lines being typed out felt a bit extreme.
Arduino Uno no, since that uses a chip that is over 8 years old. But a modern 8bit AVR which cost under 1USD in single units, like Attiny3214, has a DAC.
Microsoft used to cut products that didn't get support questions. People asking about edge cases/complaining about problems is a sign of noobie uptake.

This creates potential infinite recursion, which is why the other form is used.
KDE was hardly ever "corporate", but it was always somewhat controlled / guided by the company behind Qt (Trolltech, originally); for the simple reason that most of the top KDE hackers were top Qt hackers and hence, in most cases, employees of Qt's owners. In many ways, getting involved with KDE was a good way to audition for a job at Trolltech/Nokia/Digia/whatever-it-is-now.

Add to it that KDE saw some significant early deployments in the European public sector, which resulted in some particular attention given to collaboration features (imap, calendaring etc). That might have looked corporate to some, but it was just a necessity for bootstrapped QT-centric businesses trying to take on the office giants like Microsoft and IBM.
It was a disaster on an almost inconceivable scale, then the world moved on
As pointed out in that aside, the general vector-bivector multiplication isn't needed to evaluate the reflection case, but I agree it's a little unsatisfying to sweep that under the rug.

You can work everything out by breaking it down to the unit basis vectors, for which the products are explicit. One way of writing it, which feels more comfortable to me possibly at the expense of being the "wrong" sort of intuition, is

u(v^w) = (u.v)w - v(u.w) + u^v^w

(using . for inner product and ^ for outer product). I guess you can also think of the first two terms as the rule for taking the inner product of a vector and a wedge product, though I haven't thought through this completely.

Because of the repeated vector in the reflection formula, that last trivector vanishes, so the result is just a vector, as it will be whenever the vector is coplanar with the bivector.
Political correctness gone haywire... it's comedy, people.
Perhaps you can consider it as a marketing expense. Think about all of the communications that CERN deals with external parties. It could be that they justified it as a recruiting tool - “You get your very own name.cern webpage” to attract candidates.

Or, they just thought it’s cool :-). Companies spend all kinds of money on things without ROI: fancy decors and furniture, landscaping and fancy buildings.
It's very cool that the geometric product of any orthonormal basis for R^2 gives i as a "pseudoscalar".

Let {e1,e2} be an orthonormal basis for R^2.
Let i = e1e2.
Then i^2
= e1e2e1e2
= -e1e1e2e2 (anticommutivity)
= -(1)(1)
= -1.

Personally that alone is enough to justify learning more about geometric algebra.
Both KDE and Gnome are shiny crap these days. Moved to Mate about ten years ago and still happy.
> try to click the street to drop a pin and you got the street name.

But then I'd lose my actual destination which is already pinned! And I don't want to lose that pin because I'm going to need to refer back to it. I'm trying to understand the area around it.

> People don't want to read street names, they want the nearest address to a certain s point.

This is exactly the kind of attitude that winds up sounding to my ears as extremely tone-deaf. No, I don't want the address, I already have the address, I want to see the name of the cross street before the address so I know when to slow down on my bike and start looking at the (much harder to read) building numbers.

This has nothing to do with letting go of old abstractions. And considering the #1 complaint I hear about Maps is always "I can't find the street names", this suggests that the "new UX" you're referring to is just bad UX. Just because there's an old way doesn't mean it's bad.
Between memory compression and very fast SSDs, I bet you could do it. Especially if you aren’t running a bunch of Chrome/Electron stuff like developers tend to.

Of course a lot of the target market for Macs like that would be better served by iPads now.
Monsters University was the first pixar movie that used global illumination, which means that modern games with VXAO will be better in some aspects than any pre-MU pixar movie, but the level of detail will be obviously a great deal lower.
I don't use Arduino but the reason it is popular is because it is an abstraction layer for the hardware. Kind of how languages like Ruby and Python make programming more approachable for people that C.
> Microsoft used to cut products that didn't get support questions.

That's a great way to encourage product teams to produce inadequate documentation.
1K here (12th year now). Fly about 200K miles / year, about $20K / yr expenditure. ENgineering consultant FWIW.

One time I was upgraded to First Class (domestic, US) and I sat next to the guy (at that time, literally a guy, a man) who essentially runs/administers the GS program.

He was extremely friendly, and as the drinks & flight continued, I pulled a /small/ amount of info from him about GS.

BASICALLY, it comes down to profit. Every year the bar changes, but if you are something like the 0.1% most profitable customer, you are in GS. Every year the amount varies, but typically you need to buy $50K - $75K of high-profit airfare (read: full class airfare, usually highest class of service, often international)

If you saw me (small business owner, consultant) you'd think I'm either a schlub or an athlete, but not a "CEO type". I am CEO of a one-person company. I do very well, but I don't work for Google / Bain / McKinsey / etc. So I book inexpensive airfares (it's my company, my money) and I accept that there are employees who just travel a lot and get treated like royalty.

I would love to have others jump in and tell me this next statement is flat-out wrong, but IMO the GS folks aren't entrepreneurs and small business owners, they work for BigCo and are treated like royalty. Not jealous at all, from my informal survey the divorce rate of GS is way higher than average. Also many GS folks on the "fringe" are stressed out b/c once they've had it, they don't know exactly what they did to get it, and what it will take next year.

I sleep well at night.
This article reads like 'I don't understand quaternions therefore they're bad.'

I assume it has something to do with the World Wide Web having basically started at CERN.
If you go one step further, who cares about kernels and shells? Let's just standardise on one (NT) so we can maybe move towards actually getting work done. Windows is good enough? That'll do, let's use that then. /s
The Trusted Advisor
It's completely unnecessary to understand what the individual components of quaternions represent. All that is necessary is to build an understanding of what the operations do for you. Do you need to understand Russell's proof that 1+1=2 to compute the tip on your bar bill, or do you just need to know what to expect when you apply the addition operation to two numbers? Treat quaternions as indivisible whole values as you would floating point numbers.

Not to be rude, but if that's in your job description, then I can understand where they are coming from. As someone in IT, it's always my fault that the computer is not working even if the ten year old device simply broke. That doesn't mean they are trying to get me to do an imprudent analysis.

Sure, there is a difference between operations and trying to find correct answers to questions (i.e. science), but they do have money to make, and if they're not (even slightly) asking you to bias your work, I can understand if they put a bit of pressure on getting the results clear.

That is true of the wedge product also, though. That's my point. The geometric product gives very little power over the wedge product, and when it does, it's massively non-intuitive how it works.

TFA notes that RHEL hasn't really done much for the KDE community in quite a while, so this is a bit of a non-story in terms of on-going support for KDE proper (as distinct from KDE on RHEL).

TFA also notes it may just be The Register being The Register -- any article that suggests IBM bought RHEL to bury the RHEL drops KDE support story is clearly attempting humour.

Keep in mind that getting Python 3 running on RHEL7 is a non-trivial exercise, fraught with sharp edges and inspiring many vocalised expletives -- so RHEL officially (not) supporting something isn't necessarily an indicator of, well, anything.
I'm DevOps. I travel to data centres, meetings, India, London, etc - it's handy to have my exact machine with me at all times. My desk at work replicates my desk at home, twin monitors on an arm setup, where my laptop sits central underneath them, with a keyboard in front of it. Works perfect for me and I've never found myself wanting a desktop. I have a v. powerful gaming PC but rarely use it other than to play Rocket League...
The problem comes from the fact that clojure and clojurescript are two different type disciplines, but people approach them with the same expectations. That exact problem would have errored out if they were running clojure, and a thrown exception is good enough validation for many developers. But because they were duped into a false safety net by thinking clojure == clojurescript, it slipped right underneath their radar.

What Does It Take to Keep a Classic Mainframe Alive?
Do you have a super quick example that you can include in plugs like this? I am doing my own caching directly with Azure storage (though it works anywhere you can enumerate and upload blobs) [1], but I think Cachix and Hercules are a huge potential chance to excite more folks about Nix and NixOS.

I'm thinking something like a blog post where someone patches the Linux kernel, does a `nix-build | cachix push` and then show how another naive user might do `cachix use && nix-build` and get a magic no-op build. Maybe just a slightly more fleshed out example under the "What" section of the Cachix homepage.

For the non-Nix/NixOS folks, it's an impressive demo, and I suspect even for Nix-folks, it's impressive for hiding all of the signing/upload complexity.

For others reading this comment, Nix + Cachix means that no two people on your team should ever need to spend CPU cycles building two copies of the same binary, or the same docker image, or the same VM image, etc, assuming all of the inputs are the same. It's so cool, I'm so happy to keep seeing people finding out about Nix and NixOS. I feel like what Kubernetes did to application development, Nix does to operating system, toolchain, and application development, and configuration management.

I think the main difference between our flavor of SQL and CockroachDB's (or PostgreSQL's) is that we don't have a specific "json" data type, but rather:

1. We don't need you to specify the types of any fields, indeed, we don't even need to know upfront which top-level fields ("columns") may exist in the document.

2. You don't need to use special operators / functions to deal with JSON-typed values.

- connect with some of the most influential leaders in the growth space

I was thinking more like Vue.js (as mentioned elsewhere here), where companies could pay to have their logo on the webpage as a supporter of the project. Plus I could offer them things that companies want, like better support, better integration with whatever (weird legacy) systems they use, etc.

Are there examples of individuals using IAP as a reliable revenue channel? It sounds reasonable but while I've heard few reports of people using Patreon/donations/sponsorships, I've heard no reports of anyone successfully using IAPs as their primary revenue stream.
I would argue that there is nothing exotic about geometric algebra and that its a much more natural representation of nature than our current hodge-podge of traditional vectors, tensors, complex numbers, differential forms and spinors.

It's not at all uncommon that implementations provided with papers do not actually do what the paper says it does. You're often lucky when there is an implementation at all. But most of the time it's just that running the exact same implementation under the same conditions requires setting up a very specific environment, installing specific versions of libraries, using some niche software and converting data from one byzantine format to another. Each deviation from the original paper is liable to subtly affect the results in nondeterministic ways. That's why no one really gets surprised or even cares, life is too short to call out all the bad software written in academia.
True, but it does provide at least some measure of reproducibility. Quality of implementation and reproducibility are orthogonal and both very valuable in their own right.
Monster's University was not the first Pixar movie to use global illumination, but it was the first Pixar movie that used path tracing (combined with rasterization for the primary visibility). Earlier movies such as Up and Toy Story 3 used Point Based Global Illumination.
True, but they wouldn't necessarily have to collide to exert their gravitational influence on each other.
Depends on how exactly different. Repulsion is time reversed attraction so IIRC if antimatter is a time reversed normal matter then it should behave as a negative gravitational mass.

I don't see how a research scientist could say this; something seems culturally wrong there. Nature is a pretty serious publication. You spent months on it, maybe someone else will. How can it not be worth your time to 'try to correct the issue or write to the journal'?
Is there something similar for DB2?
It's a different playing field: OSX has to support a small handful of chipsets, and if it doesn't work then manufacturers will step in. Linux has to support a boatload of crap silicon, and if anything doesn't work, manufacturers will just shrug.

Add to it that every Linux distribution has its idiosincratic approach to low-level subsystems, and you have a recipe for problems if you work anywhere higher up the stack.

But don't worry, eventually the problem will be solved the other way around: there will be a systemd-DE, and everyone will use that. /s

Just throwing a thought out here that you might have considered, but, maybe it's because traditional black-and-white film is over-sensitive to blue? It's why when one uses traditional black and white films one usually uses at least a yellow filter and if you have blue sky in a shot you use a red filter.
