They're fairly contemptuous of it, safe in the understanding that they can simply ignore it and so long as they don't have a utter meltdown, they'll be fine. You don't see ordinary people having meltdowns, and even today the meltdown that landed Lacie in jail can ruin anyone's life.

How is it so much faster exactly? Is it due to parallelization or being written in a compiled language or something entirely different?
The effect is of the same order of magnitude as that which American students who study in China experience. It stands to reason that us Americans would be impressed and influenced by seeing such a economic success story up close, right?...
This makes the most sense to me. As others note, there were many polytheistic traditions. Including, as you say, the ancient Semitic religion.

As a biologist, I imagine it as a phylogenetic tree. One of the major monotheistic branches of the Semitic religion that's survived is Judaism. With its Christian fork, and the various Protestant forks. The other is Islam, with early forks (e.g., Shabakism and Druze) and later ones (e.g., Bahá'í and Bábism).

Two other surviving monotheistic branches of the Semitic religion are Samaritanism and Yazdânism (among Kurds). I gather that they forked about the same time as Judaism, and before Islam. So I'm guessing that it was a similar fork that became Islam.

It was rereading Matthew Woodring Stover's Jericho Moon that got me thinking about this. It focuses on an attack by Habiru raiders (aka Hebrews, led by Joshua) on the Semitic Jebusites in Jerusalem (led by Adonizedek). This was several years after the sacking of Jericho.

The Habiru worshiped "Yahweh Sabaoth, El Shaddai", and considered him to be the only God (although he did have angels/aspects/avatars/personas, which could be summoned individually by sacrifice). I gather that the Jebusites (and other Canaanites) were also descended from Noah's Exodus, but worshiped other Goddesses and Gods, in addition to El (El Elyron). Which is, in part, why the Hebrews attacked them. Or at least, justified taking their land and stuff.
Similar to what coffee meets bagel does, which restricts you to a pool of 3-5 people per day. swipe left on all of them and you get no matches. It encourages more thinking about compatibility, rather than "if I swipe through 20 more people I can probably get to a really hot one".

> It's literally ontology -- they're discovering the idea of shape as a concept, which is an equivalence of structural forms, which is an ontological concept.

I think there's an important difference between the implicit, intuitive, relational knowledge that we build via direct interaction, and philosophical knowledge that the other poster is thinking talking about (and presumably, what ontology is about). You're equating the two without arguing why we should consider them the same. At best, our implicit model of the world knowledge informs our intuitions on some philosophical concepts, but that still doesn't entail this knowledge is the same as philosophical knowledge.

But even if you gave me a free mumble service, it still wouldn't be comparable to Discord - at least when i was using Discord.

The price wasn't the issue (imo), it was simply the user experience. It had the best, by leagues. Users (ie, non hosts) didn't pay for any of these products, but the UX of Discord was vastly superior in my view.

No girl I know would be interested in that. I do not know how that could help with dating. I speak 3 languages fluently (German, English, Dutch), and have a biotechnics degree (German BTA) in addition to studying CS atm. Those are specifically the two points you mentioned.

Has any girl ever been interested in that? No.

What you are describing is a method for getting a job, not a partner.
(1) For some applications it is all about the "cold start" latency. I am building up a "smart home" system and that involves the system doing quite a bit a work ahead of time so that you don't wait 0.4 seconds for a list of albums in your music system to display the first page, or for weather radar to load, etc.

(2) There is a way to eliminate 20 sec waits at P100 and that is to say that you are going to abort at 1 second, not start requests which are obviously going to take >1 second, etc. This is a "path not taken" because most people would rather deal with the long waits rather than the fails, but serving one of those 20 sec requests can sometimes mean 100 other requests are late.
The first card you draw can be any one of 32 cards. This gives you 5 bits of entropy.

The second card can be any one of 31 cards, because it can't be the same as the first card. This gives you log2 31 = ~4.95 bits of entropy.

If this argument isn’t convincing, think of it this way. If you draw two cards, then there are 32 choose 2 cards you can draw, and 32 choose 2 is 496, giving log2(496) = ~8.95 bits. You can draw them in two different orders, giving 1 extra bit, total of ~9.95. If you could draw a pair of the same card, there are 32 different pairs to draw, giving (496 * 2) + 32 possibilities, which is 1024, and log2 1024 = 10. But you can't draw a pair of the same card.

Or for another argument, consider that there are 32! different ways to shuffle the deck with 32 cards. log2 32! = ~117.
Is this an intelligent joke or a dumb business plan? I kept hearing the words "production" and "prototype", but I see half a dozen holes in a real world implementation.

Edit: Since this is being downvoted, here are my thoughts.

1.) Plumbing. Pipes are in the walls. Kitchen tables are (usually) closer to the center of a room. (And who will consider open pipes or tubes across a floor or ceiling?).

1b.) Electrical. Same issue.

2.) Space. You are removing a seat from the table, and replacing it with what I imagine will end up being a solid cube... in the middle of a room? Maybe attached to a wall so the table is permanently fixed in a perpendicular position?

3.) Sound. Pretty sure a few people winced when the leaf blower went off. Who's going to want that sound in their home after every meal?

4.) Smell. Im not sure if you've ever opened a dish washer midcycle, but the soap used has a strong smell. I wouldn't want that smell hanging around in the air. Also, the soap will very slowly coat everything in the room (water evaporates with soap in it, wafts around the room, lands on something and dries).

5.) Your sales skills. I don't believe that you believe in your product, and it came across in your delivery. The crowd seemed to be more curious than interested.

6.) Efficiency. The plates are being washed horizontally. Washing dishes by hand uses more water than a dish washer. I think your machine uses more water than both. In regards to time, you're saving people a 30 second trip to the dishwasher. Plus the electricity needed to run a leaf blower.
> The function `a -> Maybe a` is a different function than `a -> a`. Despite his intuition that the latter provides a stronger guarantee and shouldn't break code, callers may be expecting the Functor instance that the `Maybe` provides and therefore is a breaking change.

I don't really follow that. How can it be a breaking change? Can you give an example?

I just finished reading the Undoing Project which is a biography of Kahneman and Tversky. I realized that Kahneman and Tversky's conclusions seem the opposite of Gladwell's Blink which I read many years ago. I need to go back and read Blink again to see what I really think.
Seems like transcompilation is an area where you really DON'T want be overfocusing on performance. Correctness is king here. I mean, compiler bugs are hard. Really hard. Deep voodoo hard. No one who's ever dealt with a significant code generation bug on a large project ever wants to repeat that experience.

That's not to say that babel isn't too slow or that this project isn't correct, just that it would scare me to try to work with it. Does babel have a regression suite? Does this pass it?

The wheels of justice move slowly. In the US, felony cases can take more than a year to resolve:

https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/how-criminal-cases-t...:

> The amount of time that passes between an arrest and the filing of charges on the one hand, and trial or entry of a guilty or “no contest” plea on the other, varies widely from case to case.... Felony trials can linger without resolution for over a year—and that’s without accounting for any delay between arrest and the filing of charges.

> There were so many people (mostly men) harassing other people (mostly women) on OkCupid.

I haven't been on in years but I remember when they handed out moderator rights to users. Somehow I got them and could review the flagged messages queues, agree/disagree with flags, and drop notes to other mods.

There seemed to be an equal mix of absolutely batshit crazy men, and women who reported every message they received from someone beneath them.

I feel like the "only message after shared likes" was implemented to address the later primarily.
A good example is that the Las Vegas Strip is actually very carefully just outside Las Vegas, in order to avoid the control of the city.

If you search you can easily find examples of people being arrested for doing something inside a city, which (presumably) have been legal if they'd done it just outside of the city.

Js packing performance (including compilation) is probably the slowest part of the iteration cycle for frontend devs today. When combined with Babel’s and ecmas extensive test suites I think something like this could be wildly successful.
I appreciate that and I totally agree. I haven't figured out quite yet what I want to do, and thought this would be a good opportunity to learn while I'm sorting things out.
I don’t know much about how Babel is implemented, but this uses the excellent rayon crate, which makes data parallelism awesome and easy. Rust is also generally fast, especially when you put effort into performance, which (from the creator talking about this on reddit) was a big goal.

This is the kind of thing Rust should be excellent at.
Yes, but one has to buy another device, and only a limited number of companies support it at the moment [1]. It doesn't look like any of the banks I use, any of the credit cards I use, or the tax filing service I use support it. Not to mention that this website and other forums I log into aren't mentioned there either.

Some of those companies offer SMS or email based 2FA as an option.

In any case, every single one of those services allows me to connect using TLS where my browser verifies the server's identity via the CA bundle I have installed on my machine. I simply don't see why companies don't make the investment to support client-side TLS authentication or start supporting U2F.

It runs counter to the mainstream Jewish thought of the past 1800 years regarding the messiah, but we are talking about a movement that was divergent from what ultimately became "mainstream Judaism" (i.e. the Pharisees). I would also point out that it is not so unique for a messianic claimant to be humiliated yet retain devoted followers:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabbatai_Zevi

Nor would violating mainstream religious views be a terribly unique event when a new movement is picking up followers:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Frank

It is also not as "bizarre" as you might think. Judaism two thousand years ago was highly fragmented, with many different movements all competing for followers and converts; there was no single body of "Jewish thought" at the time. There were different interpretations of the prophecies, and the earliest Christians followed one tradition of interpretations (this is clearly reflected in the gospels -- e.g. Matthew follows the Greco-Jewish tradition and the Septuagint).

Making public data open by default can arguable be an imporant step towards fostering societal equity. However, it needs to be not only "open", which typically means stashed away in some corner as a spreadsheet or database file, but accessible and useful to people. The UK has been pushing open data for years now and more and more institutions are now realizing this.

For RTX cards, water cooling probably is a must nowadays. Had a lot of cooling issues with my 3 2080Ti FE. Although managed to get it stablize at 85C, it is not ideal.

Also, getting as much as PCIe lanes is not a bad idea. The RTX cards only supports 2way NvLink, communication has to go through PCIe lanes between some.

I am thinking about the next build with a motherboard like https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=E... and Epyc 7401P. You have full 16 lanes per GPU and some room to spare for M2 SSDs. The 7401P also has a reasonable price between TR2950X and 2990WX, not sure why don’t more people have this setup for their workstations.

Honesty is considered one of the highest of virtues in Germany. You can be blunt to the point of rudeness and people will still praise you for being "plainspoken". And talking about plagiarism: at least two federal ministers have had to resign in the last 10 years after it came out that they plagiarised parts of their PhD theses. Though obviously not all Germans are honest, honesty does has a very high standing in our culture. There is no excuse whatsoever for this kind of deliberate forgery, especially by a member of a profession whose job it is to "tell the truth".

I see no reason to think this has anything to do with the US. For instance Steam recently decided to allow openly sexualized games. The relevance there being that they've absolutely made sure that they're not going to run into legal issues in the US doing that. And it turns out, they're not.

So this is coming from Google. Their motivation is much harder to discern. Related to advertising? Avoiding store segregation as they expand into e.g. various far more conservative Asian or Islamic nations? Trying to create a 'Disney-Esque' image for Android as opposed to being that naughty back alley alternative to Apple? Maybe it was an algorithm or even human gone awry. Lots of possibilities, and we'll likely never know which it was - even if they choose to respond to this.
