Failing NYTimes pretends sexual selection is news and tries to turn it into a justification for pomo bs.

Not news.
This is straight up sexist man-hating bullshit. It should not be tolerated any more than any kind of gender inequality.
No idea, I didn't study that but I'm sure they are very transparent when referencing external sources or when generating new knowledge. Speaking about history, already when browsing a source like Wikipedia it becomes quickly apparent which things actually happened e.g. like when the UN was founded and things which are difficult to see like for instance what happened with JFK.

Also it seems mysterious to me how to apply statistics in this, especially speaking about definition of probability and applying it to seems that actually happened or not - in contrast to future events or thought experiments.
This matters in the real world question of “should I use elm” even if it doesn’t matter to the theoretical question of “is the elm language sound?”. Especially since there is only one implementation of elm that updates very infrequently.
Amusingly, at least in certain Emacs libraries (e.g. `frame.el`), `'ns` is also used to indicate macOS.
>Inb4 the anecdotal "well it works for me I just had to download the xf86 font library and compile with a legacy glibc version..." crew comes in with a thousand and one rebuttals. Problems like that are still a suboptimal user experience, no matter how you slice it.

No, my experience is much more along the lines of, "I download and install Ubuntu or Linux Mint, and then it works without further issues."
If the labels describe an interesting pattern then we shouldn’t fear them.
Traditional masculinity:

"Conforming to the norms of the “masculinity ideology” can result in suppressing emotions and masking distress in young boys as well more risk-taking and aggressive behavior and a lack of willingness to seek out help."

"traditional masculinity — marked by stoicism, competitiveness, dominance and aggression — is, on the whole, harmful."

"Despite its warnings, the APA also encouraged men to embrace the positive aspects of traditional masculinity, like leadership and courage."

"Men in the United States also commit an estimated 90% more homicides than women and are also much more likely to be arrested for domestic violence."

Testosterone:

"Most studies support a link between adult criminality and testosterone"

"Most studies have also found testosterone to be associated with behaviors or personality traits linked with criminality such as antisocial behavior and alcoholism."

"Studies have also found administered testosterone to increase verbal aggression and anger in some participants."

"Testosterone is significantly correlated with aggression and competitive behaviour and is directly facilitated by the latter."

"The rise in testosterone levels during competition predicted aggression in males but not in females."

I can't help but notice that many of the attributes that fall under the umbrella of "toxic masculinity" are behaviors that appear to be correlated with response to testosterone. Although we can a identify biological basis for these behaviors, why do we insist they are a social "constellation of standards"?

Standards that were adaptive when society was much less connected are no longer adaptive in todays world.

This is an attempt by the APA to improve treatment for problems they see in their field including the much higher rates of suicide and violence that men in our society express.

It's an unfortunate fact that as with many other aspects of our broken culture there are plenty of people willing to take advantage of people who have maladaptive psychological issues.

A certain Canadian youtuber peddling hyper-masculine value systems via books and seminars comes to mind. The equivalent of scientology for those who feel less than secure in their masculinity.
From someone that has been using linux as his main OS since 2003, I tried to switch to mac once (used for one year) and had to work with a mac for approx. 4 years.

As good as brew is, it is just not as good as having your distro package manager, I ran into so many issues using brew, every mac os upgrade was a pain to keep brew packages working. Then it came docker, what a bliss is to use docker on Linux, but on mac it is just cumbersome, specially because everything is inside that qcow image that only grows until you run out-of-disk. I know it was alleviated by some measures the docker team took to "fix" it, but still it is not as good as docker running on linux.

Nowadays I just buy a thinkpad, put Fedora on it and everything works as expected. Because all of the projects I work with use docker, performance wise it is so much faster than running it on mac os.
The sound is one of the most noticeable characteristics of Harleys. If the floor of your car of your starts vibrating on a red light it's a good chance there's a Harley next to you.

I don't own a Harley, but I'm sure Harley owners are proud of the sound as it is an integral part of the ride and makes the bike more powerful (psychologically).

That being said, IMO, an electric Harley will end up being just another utility motorcycle with of course 100% torque at any point of time.

Collapse- 60% of animal populations have been destroyed since 1970 (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-environment-wildlife/wild...) and unexpected interactions between stressors as well as positive feedback loops are creating an existential threat for our civilization (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S001632871...). Ecosystems like coral reefs are being lost completely- they will simply be gone, there was no opportunity for change. The ecosystems are changing too fast for adaptation.
And like any other multi-agent self-interested system, you run into weird "market failures", where say, female lions start noticing that healthy male lions tend to have scruffy, luxurious manes, so male lions start prioritizing the growth of a scruffy, luxurious mane over other, potentially more "useful" traits.

Which, ironically, also works out for them in another way--during the current Holocene extinction, for example, "convincing the humans to spare you from their rapacious reshaping of the entire planet" is quickly becoming a key evolutionary adaptation, which may very well end up saving otherwise completely useless animals like pandas or chickens, as well as other "charismatic megafauna" like lions. It may have already saved elephants--since antiquity, there have been a fair number of human cultures that venerate elephants for one reason or another, which is a pretty good evolutionary niche if you can get it.
Everyone wants a computer that does what they want it to out of the box. When we say we want something easy, that's what we mean. The problem with that is that everyone wants different things, so it is fundamentally impossible. I think Linux needs to stop trying to be easy, and start trying to be simple.

Throw out all the over-complicated garbage that has become the Linux Desktop and make something that is simple enough for people to build an accurate mental model of how it functions in a relatively short time, and with a set of simple composable tools. Then they can build the thing they want with a relative minimum and without writing any C. It already some composability thanks to the original UNIX commandline toolset, at least for text processing, but those have grown archaic over time and the concept was never properly extended to the GUI.

I doubt that will ever happen though. Instead the community will just keep piling on more and more complexity, keep creating more and more distros to try and cover that infinity of what people want in their effort to make it "easy", and tell anyone who doesn't want to do things the way they do that they're doing them wrong.
Because open source game engines are bad. There is a huge gap between Unity/Unreal and an open source engine, it's not even comparable.

I have won a couple games after being down with a seemingly hopeless material disadvantage. I'm not a grandmaster, and they don't play me (I suppose they might to laugh at a bad player, but that is unlikely). Until you get to the very high levels you should not assume your opponent knows how to convert even an easy endgame.
I was thinking of extinct animals. (Maybe I should have said "paleontologists".) Whenever there's a structure or physical feature in a fossil whose purpose we can't identify, the default assumption is "it was probably used for mating displays." Sometimes further study (or comparison to extant species) comes up with a more practical use later. It's all hypothetical, of course, but so is "religious purposes." :)

Sincerely, truly a thing of beauty. After writing Lisp code, I don't even understand what people mean when they talk about beauty with respect to programming languages. It's like there are rivers separating the aesthetics of Algol-like languages and an ocean between them and Lisp.

ActiveRecord Mistakes That Slow Down Rails Apps: Count, Where and Present
Sounds like a petty dictator pushing everyone to think and act the same; manipulating people until they give in because it takes too much effort to resist. He should consider a career in politics... I always get uncomfortable when I know people who pull stunts like that in RL and it is irritating when it dramatically affects an otherwise very good operating system. I use Void Linux just to avoid systemd, considering its long track record of horrific bugs and security issues.
i will say that the mental gymnastics necessary to make "being nice" and "not being a shitty racist or misogynist" a "religion", so that you can say "i'm a proponent of a secular state" is just really impressive so congrats on that. really neat stuff.

Nothing wrong with serifs, except that typical monitors are too low resolution to do a good job with them. The sample you linked for example doesn't look good to me.

Exploring a critical Net::Protocol issue in Ruby 2.6.0
Newspaper science writing works on much the same basis as natural selection - its role is to engage readers first and foremost and succeeds in reproducing the content in their minds and social media accounts only if it grabs their attention first!

This article is a pretty classic example of that. It starts with misconceptions about what evolution is and the cliche of the brave scientists criticised by the establishment for even raising the possibility of sexual selection. Then it moves on to acknowledging that not only had sexual selection theory has been around since Darwin but it was frequently discussed until eventually support was found for hypotheses that aesthetic preferences animals had evolved to acquire were likely correlated with traits [originally] useful for survival. Then we get to meet the brave scientist challenging the establishment and conclude that much of his lack of peer approval for his views on beauty might stem from his apparent disinterest in engaging with these theories. Then finally, we're presented with the idea that since even our standards of beauty are down to the evolution of the eye of the beholder, the scientific establishment was probably right all along. The article wouldn't have won the affections of the editor if it had started out with that argument though...

This type of report, and the comments here echoing it, should worry Apple.

Years of bad decisions and neglect for the Mac have added up. The bad keyboards, touch bars, unnecessary port removals, etc, it feels like the company forgot who the "Pro" Mac line is made for. I hope they course correct but fear they won't.

> placing a hardware device that you own into a non-shared rack that you pay for inside a United States datacenter would be a very good start.

Why even bother a non-shared rack when you can't even guarantee the physical security of your hardware in the first place, as you've outsourced all that responsibility to a third party, the datacenter?

Isn’t it possible to play in “email” mode (read: days long time control) or something else if you’re going to be in a situation with spotty coverage? As I understand it, live games mean just that.

I don't know why people are still using unity instead of UE4 except for historical reasons where users of the engine are hesitant to switch and have to relearn some things.

Unity is not open source, it does not come with batteries included (so you end up buying a bunch of poorly maintained unity assets/plugins to do stuff that UE4 does out of the box), and I think they're struggling as a company more than people realize (having raised large investment rounds and now seeking ways to monetize to an extent that would justify such investment). The best thing Unity has going for it is its dedicated user base.

Meanwhile, UE4 is a really good deal and keeps getting better with every release. It's really just a better put together engine all around.

Why are you manually configuring DNS? If you need it to switch between different networks, it sounds like you should let DHCP do its job instead of overriding it.
The headline was 2000 lichess, how can that not be more clear? It is not hard to find out lichess uses a different method of calculating ratings and thus their numbers will my nature be different. 2000 is still impressive even if it isn't nearly as good FIDE 2000.
It seems the High Density parts of the system are on a separate off the shelf SoM (System on Module) that was presumably not designed in KiCAD. It'll be informative to see if they can continue to use KiCAD when they do the final integrated version of Librem that will presumably have the SoC on the mainboard. I'd very much like to use KiCAD for projects like that in the future, so hoping they can prove it viable.
With Microsoft recently doing so much with open source lately, you might even get them to donate it.
'Under the previous statute, the higher-earning spouse could deduct alimony payments on his or her tax filings. The recipient included the payments as part of his or her taxable gross income. For divorces finalized in 2019 and after, alimony payments will no longer be a deductible expense for the payer, which is expected to have financial ramifications.

Typically, in a divorce where children are involved – Jeff and MacKenzie Bezos have four children between the ages of 13 and 18 – the payer would also split support payments between alimony and child support, putting more into the former to claim the tax credit. Now, there is more incentive to allocate more money toward child support and less toward alimony.'

For Owners of Ring Security Cameras, Strangers May Have Been Watching Too
So you're saying that, when conversing via speech, the problems created by ambiguities such as

"I heard a wail and I saw a whale" or "The knight was black"

are more tractable than the problems arising from

"When I lie, I lie on a bed" or "British left waffles on Falklands"

Is that right?

I'm not so sure. Given that you can only hear but not see, I feel they're probably equally problematic when there is not sufficient context to resolve the ambiguity.

The thing that changes if you move to a phonetics-based writing system, is that you're forced to include more context while writing. I don't think anything changes about oral communication. (But I'm happy to be refuted!)
I agree with this -- simply dropping the umlaut is adequately clear, weird as it may look to me, just as dropping a circumflex is preferred to adding an 's' after it in French. Adding an e doesn't produce a reversible result (there are, for example, ordinary German words written with ae, oe, and ss).

Every such projection is a lossy projection and is expected to possibly generate in an ambiguous result that must be interpreted through context. Hence the strange but comprehensible ,,Godel'' and ,,Malmo''. Cook is not claiming that his code replaces the need for Unicode!

(There is a minor linguistic irony that the origin of the umlaut was scribe's shorthand when an E vowel inflection was turned into tiny E written above a letter, almost like a ligature, which became a pair of dots. But that character was then used in other languages differently, much as a loanword from a different language usually changes its meaning in the new language).
> Is there any reason to use Ruby outside Rails?

Same reason you'd use any language I suppose. It works as a scripting language, etc. For example, docker-sync, which solves file syncing issues with Docker for Mac (and works on other platforms, but less of an issue there) is written as a Ruby gem.

With AWS recently adding Ruby support to Lambda, my presumption is there's a customer demand there.

Myself, I write a lot of Ruby code that isn't Rails.
Sounds like they're trying to borrow-and-modernize the "Lisp is like a ball of mud. Add more and it's still a ball of mud" metaphor.

You're conflating "proper background" with legacy and they are very different things. Harvard (and most/all other Ivy League institutions) dramatically lower the standards of enrollment for legacy applicants. In other words people whose father or mother went to Harvard. This is not how Bill Gates got in. His father went to the University of Washington on the G.I. Bill.

A "proper background", outside of legacy, is generally a negative thing when applying to elite institutions as applicants from 'improper backgrounds' will receive bonus points on their applicant score. All other things being equal the guy who went to Bodunk High is generally going to have a better admittance score better than the guy who went Carnegie College Preparatory Academy.

The one issue of course is that all other things are often not equal. The guy who went to our imaginary prep school is probably going to have had greater resources to enable his endeavors and often a better family life at home. And that's why the guy from Bodunk High is given a boost on his score.

And in my opinion, having been somebody who came from a poor background and was able to go to a top tier university, I don't think it really makes much of a difference. The crazy high overachievers who go on to become the Bill Gates didn't achieve that because of Harvard, and obviously in Bill Gates case as he dropped out - he would have done phenomenal whether he went to Harvard or Party U. It's a similar story with people like Michael Dell. He came from an upper middle class family but nonetheless worked jobs ranging from dish washer to telemarketer. In college at UT he started what would become Dell literally from his dorm room. He would drop out his freshman year once it became clear the business was viable.

Elite universities just have this sort of win-win feedback scenario going for them. They attract all these sorts of individuals and then get to implicitly take some credit for their achievements, which then affirms the university's elite status. Meh. I would fully agree though that if your ambition is just to go send out resumes and gradually work your way up for other people, then an elite university degree would help you eventually end up with a somewhat nicer white picket fence than somebody who went to a less premier institution. But these are not the sort of people we're talking about.
No problem. Just consider it as a scheduling problem. If you know it takes N cycles to load a register (and to be clear, this is no longer something most game developers have to actively care about...though engine developers might...though on very modern consoles even this often ends up abstracted from most engine developers), having that register now be populated at (N-2) or (N+2) cycles might be Very Bad. On the other hand, if you now know that it will populate, always, in (N+4) cycles, you can just work with that.
