It seems to me that creating and using cultural signals that allow us to differentiate between the in group and the out, is a fundamental part of human culture. There's no culture where it doesn't exist, and as soon as we remove one set of culture signals another quickly replaces it. As a sibling post pointed out, in workplaces with suits, people differentiate by cut of suit.

So the answer isn't to try rid ourselves of cultural signals, they'll just get replaced with new ones. The answer imo is to work at being aware of the signals we have and the biases they give us. That's hard, much harder that simply removing the existing signals, but resisting hardwired human nature is hard.

> It only gives you critical thinking if you... critically think about it.

That goes without saying.

Your argument seems to be that some people don't 'get' education. That's hard to argue with - I'm sure some people don't.

You said originally: "Education is a cult in and of itself"

And that's what I rail against.

Your observation that 'education isn't magic' is well aligned with my original point.
Seems like the site is probably working as intended then.
if your purpose is to make people hate politicians and government even more than they do now, then this would be a good way to do it.
but this idea that somehow the state/government knows better is very condescending.
same in France. galettes mixed with raclettes, sure some local somewhere in France has that on its menu often enough, but then I miss the point of this website, because those are neither your typical home dishes nor something usual that people eat weekly nor something that you'd get outside restaurants.

so it's pretty much 'local food tourist should try' - or precisely the opposite of what the sites seems to claims to be about.
Not an expert, but two obvious issues come to mind:

1) Energy loss due to friction & constantly working against inertia (regular and rotational).

2) I don't think you could get anywhere close to even a kilohertz without the whole contraption shaking itself apart. When we say a CPU has a clock of 1GHz, this literally means some components are being activated and deactivated a billion times a second.

Both problems seem to be correlated with size. That is, the smaller it gets, the faster a mechanism can run.
Tldr: I cope by going to free therapy sessions

First I would muster up all my energy try to activate my basic survival instinct, sit down and start planning.

How much money do I have? What is the runway, if I don't get more money, what is the last day I am able to afford to pay rent? Do I have any financial obligations that I can't get our of? I.e. where I once lived there were significant cancelation fees. Then I would make plan to extend my runway as far as feasible, with the limited energy I have.

If I feel that I am currently not capable of this level of planning (or that seeing the date I am probably becoming homeless would incapacitate me) I would go back to all of my friends that 'just tell me to keep trying' and asked for help.

"I am beyond keep-trying, I am not sure how long am I able to pay rent, and I need start planning contingency, can you sit down with me and help me with that?"

There might be some that in case your funds run out would at least let you crash on their couch.

I am not sure how you work, but for me, knowing my runway and gazing into the metaphorical abyss helps me muster my fight of flight reflex.

Second, I would look for a therapist. I am currently going for a one-on-one session for free, because the therapist is training on a new method and needs several reviews of patients before getting an attestation and being able to charge for it. If I already didn't have contact I would ask at local med-school?

Third. I would once again go back to my friends and ask them for jobs. A.f.a.i.k. going though the regular channel to get hired has high rejection rate, and if every rejection keeps you getting deeper into depression, then going through the front door is not hte route for me. If a friend can arrange a coffee with their manager, when they know they are looking for someone like you, with racks open, sending the resume could, in the best-case scenario become just a formality. (That is how I got my last job, more or less)

Last, if friends can't help you, I would start looking at less desirable/well payed jobs. I know that most of my peers wouldn't work for goverment, because pay is bad, but they are usually eager to hire anybody with the skills.

> but current graphics pipelines are built on the assumption that straight lines in world space map to straight lines in screen space, so you can't do proper curvilinear wide-angle perspective with the existing triangle rasterizer architecture.

Isn't that approximation still fine as long as a single triangle doesn't span more than, say, 5 degrees of your FOV? If you are trying to represent a real scene, your triangles will rarely get that big. If you really want to display huge triangle, then you can just sub-divide it into a thousand smaller triangles.

Yup. It shows the increase. But I think the way its portrayed is kind of misleading.

Define 'you'. If 'you' is your memories and personality, then those things are physical. You can take a knife to a brain and cut out memories, you can cut out love. These are tied to your physical meat. If the meat is destroyed, or the currents stop running, then your memories and personality are destroyed. If 'you' is something other than your memories and personality, then sure, that might go on.

As an assistant to a heavily-trained, expert human, I do think it would be a helpful aid in catching human error.

and why would you run k3s on these ...
Based on the README [0], quickly comparing to Swarm:

- this has the same great K8S API, that Swarm lacks. (Deployment is a first class citizen in kube land, but you only have to make do with the service YMLs in the Swarm sphere.)

- k3s lacks some in-tree plugins, that swarm might have (mount cloud provider managed block device), but there are out of tree addons

- sqlite instead of etcd3 [but available], so out of the box k3s is not HA ready (if I interpret this[1] right, there's one APIserver, and it's something in development )

- this seems more lightweight than a docker setup in some sense (it uses containerd, not full docker), but of course this needs a proper evaluation

- ingress plugins: good question. it should work with traefik [2]

I don't disagree that —if situation permits— grocery shopping can be a good levelling exercise, to step out of oneself and (eg) compare the price of various things at different quantities...

But context is important. A lot of people can't drop everything while they're shopping. If you're rushing, don't know what you want or have a furious toddler in tow, the experience suffers significantly.

That all said, I'm surprised so many people have to turn to Blue Apron (et al) just because shopping isn't convenient for them. Don't your shops offer online services? In the UK, all the major supermarkets offer delivery and collection services at minimal cost. If you buy the same thing every week, you can reduce the total exercise to just a few minutes of engagement time.

The State of Open source security [pdf]
Why draw an artificial line between cities and private markets? Innovation isn’t the exclusive domain of for profit companies. Part of the reason why we end up in these situations where public utilities are in such an embarrassing state is that we don’t expect or allow them to innovate, even down what is now a well proven pathway.
Actually it should definitely be the case that a line crazy proposal can be put up by an independent politician, who backs it with the votes they won. If other politicians oppose it, then they can spend their votes/power on defeating it. But of course if they spend all their votes on defeating things then they get nothing done. So so small initiatives would be able to get through, that currently cannot because there is currently no cost to politician opposing things.

Expendable power is the idea, not unlimited power, which is what we have now.

> Vietnam was in part a proxy war between the US and China

Perhaps; but why? What, ultimately, was the point of that? In whose interests was it fought? Did the loss of Vietnam (now an independent country) make any long term difference to the US?

> Imagine a scenario where a large unit of e.g. terrorists attack a city. Imagine what just 100 armed and armor wearing individuals could do

City in the continental US, or are we talking about somewhere like Raqqa here?
No, it would not be cheaper. It is not cheaper today and making food today is profitable (and possible) only thanks to economy of scale. Automation on this level is not here yet.

> don't have to travel as far by road

It doesn't have to. It can (and it does because it's better).
First computers used relays, becase they were already faster and cheaper than purely mechanical computer. Then came lamps which were even faster. Nowadays mechanical computers are just uneconomical curiosity, but thanks to miniturisation they look like they might be economical for several VERY special purposes where silicon just doesn't work.

> Was it because the mechanical parts are too prohibitively rigid/inflexible/heavy/expensive for a computer?

Yes, and it was all those reasons at once. Electrical/electronical computers were better at every metric simultaneously.
Regarding "the need for countries to project power"- I was recently reading Carl Sagan's The Demon-Haunted World. I quote from chapter 16 "When scientists know sin":

From my point of view, the consequences of global nuclear war
became much more dangerous with the invention of the hydrogen
bomb, because airbursts of thermonuclear weapons are much
more capable of burning cities, generating vast amounts of smoke,
cooling and darkening the Earth, and inducing global-scale
nuclear winter. This was perhaps the most controversial scientific
debate I've been involved in (from about 1983-90). Much of the
debate was politically driven. The strategic implications of nuclear
winter were disquieting to those wedded to a policy of massive
retaliation to deter a nuclear attack, or to those wishing to
preserve the option of a massive first strike. In either case, the
environmental consequences work [to] the self-destruction of any
nation launching large numbers of thermonuclear weapons even
with no retaliation from the adversary. A major segment of the
strategic policy of decades, and the reason for accumulating tens
of thousands of nuclear weapons, suddenly became much less
credible.

This "need to project power" is just another way to say we're too goddamn stupid to use the technology we create without blowing ourselves, and everyone else, up with it. Democracy has nothing to do with it. Raw, unmitigated human stupidity dominates military decisions in every country.

You agree with me in a question, so it seems.
I'm precisely speaking about seeing the logs when not connected. The sense of community on IRC is lower because you need to connect all the time and otherwise loose what everyone said.
Not exactly, a garbage collector is by definition a collector (there is sweeps rather than per-reference and more importantly has runtime cost). I think, manual memory management is a lot more similar to a poorman's ARC implementation.
> there is only one that respects freedom and democracy, and there is only one that doesn't wage wars of aggression to expand their borders.

Now I'm confused. Which country are you wanting to believe that's true of? :)
Yes, but the .NET thread pool is auto-tuning, although very badly, with at least a second latency to increased workload. For bursty requests that could be done within a few hundred milliseconds it is a bad fit. But you can't DOS your batch processing server so easily.
> Content still correct.

I'd dispute that. It's correct for Baravia or maybe even southern Germany, but for example in the region around Cologne (Rheinland), Sauerbraten is traditionally made from horse meat and is atypical in Berlin (never seen it on a local menu), Weißwurst is atypical anywhere in the North (there's even the term Weißwurstäquator which denotes the separating line https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wei%C3%9Fwurst%C3%A4quator), Spätzle and Maultaschen are distinct Swabian food. The typical northern German kinds of food (Grünkohl mit Pinkel) are missing alltogether. Even the beer is off: The north drinks different beer than the south. The northern beer tend to have more hops (think: Becks) while the southern beers tend to be lighter on that side and thus less bitter (Paulaner). Wheat beer is atypical in the north.

It's totally missing Döner Kebab. An unforgivable offense.

The problem I see is that the page tries to lump food in by country, while food tends to be regional. The southern parts of Germany have much more in common with Austria (Kaiserschmarrn), the southwest with the bordering regions of France while the northeast is much more aligned with western Poland.
I think it is because the last to move makes the greatest profit. So people just wait to be the last wave of available apartments so they can hike the price up to whatever.

The reason I didn't even consider Dublin over London or another major European had little to do with the rent prices as it had to do public transportation.

Being dependent on mainly in Dublin means you'll likely want to restrict yourself to areas which can get you to your workplace with zero connections (and everyone else who works in your general area will probably feel the same).
Being an especially wet country (nowhere near as bad as the west of Ireland, mind), means even this is gonna be an utter misery many mornings and evenings.
As far as nightlife is concerned, with a better public transportation system you can get away for ages by just continuing to push stuff further out.

In London I've the option if I want to live pretty far out (but still on a line that stops near my office) and live alone for not a whole lot more (if anything) than I'd pay to live within walking distance and share. Hardly anyone I know on my pay level in Dublin could even consider living alone, which puts even further pressure on living as near to work as possible.
Even if you did that, unless you bury the trees after they grow, they'll just rot and release the co2 back in the atmosphere. Trees aren't supposed to be a buffer for increasing co2 levels. They just use co2 as a reusable resource.

Not a problem, but it's still a valid question. I'm all for people writing alternatives to existing tools. I've done so myself multiple times.
But when you start promoting your alternative, "so what's does it do better?" is a very reasonable question for other people to ask.
After all, they are the ones who need to invest time in learning the new tool, perhaps add it as a dependency in their tool chain/work flow - with all the downsides that has.
