I know someone who was on diazepam for only a year and he says that it took him longer than a year from the point of final dose to start feeling himself again. I know diazepam is not the same class of drugs, but hopefully the same is true for you - the longer you go from the final dose the more yourself you feel.

I'm not convinced of the first half of the headline re laptop cracking.

The article cites the latest monitor report, but the only paragraph I can find with the word laptop just implies the monitor has possession and success with some devices.

"""
As noted in the First Report, known devices of Mr. Gerry Cotten have been secured by the Monitor including, Mr. Cotten’s laptops, cellphones, USB keys and home computer. The Monitor understands that prior to the commencement of the CCAA Proceedings, the Applicants together with their initial outside expert, attempted to access the devices and were successful in respect of certain devices. The Monitor will work with the Applicants and Representative Counsel to determine next steps to access any information and data which may be located on the devices and report back to the Court with respect to those efforts.
"""
That is one thing you could do to merge dicts. To expand on my last paragraph above, I think I would imagine the following operations (stupid syntax):

a & b = { k: (a[k], b[k]) for k in a.keys() | b.keys() }
a | b = { k: (a.get(k, None), b.get(k, None)) for k in a.keys() | b.keys() }
a |& b = { k: (a.get(k,None), v) for k, v in b.items() }
a &| b = { k: (v, b.get(k,None)) for k, v in a.items() }
a |_| b = { k: only(a,b,k) for k in a.keys() | b.keys() }
def only(a,b,k):
if k in a && k in b:
throw DuplicateKey(a,b,k)
elseif k not in a && k not in b:
assert(false)
elseif k in a:
return a[k]
else:
return b[k]

This doesn’t work well if values can be None so maybe instead of pairs there should be objects Left(x), Right(y), and Both(x,y)
Exactly. And besides that, they used all spectre of technical surveillance means which were available at that time. That would be far worse than NSA by now if it was not the collapse of USSR.
TA:Spring had these AIs that would exploit shit in a terribly annoying way. Like, you had ballistic projectiles that would take a while to arrive at the target, and your units would fire them. Well, the enemies had them too, except the AI would exploit its superior micro by firing off the projectiles at maximum range and maximum inbound velocity and then immediately shifting outbound.

You can't move your bloody units as fast as them so your units would fire at the place where they were 'going to be' within the range or at the place they were at the limit of the range.

Utterly infuriating as a player. I know it doesn't have to be that way, and the path could be closer to strategic decision making, but it's a funny example of one of those AI decisions that wasn't constrained in one way.
If fees were x and the bought exploit cost a lot less, why not?
What you propose ends up sounding like this from my point of view:

Salad is generally better for your health than red meat. However, some people eat so much salad, with so much dressing, that it ends up being worse than red meat. Meanwhile, with great care about meal planning and moderation, some people stay pretty healthy eating red meat.

Therefore red meat is actually healthier than salad.

>> Range anxiety absolutely exists.

But it's still a problem with the vehicle. Go ahead, take your EV on a cross country trip.

I worked on the Focus Electric and realized I couldn't even use it as a daily commuter without paying extra attention. Most days it would be more than adequate, but if for some reason I wanted to make a detour from my daily drive - like up to our motor manufacturing plant - it would not make it on the overnight charge. Granted, that car has fairly short range. A Tesla (or Rivian) should go all day in local driving, so they punt the range problem down the road to mostly long trips. But it's still a problem compared to ICE vehicles.

My problem with the wording is this: The shortcomings of EVs rightly cause anxiety in people. But lets stop focusing on the anxiety in the humans and start talking about the issues with EVs. Until companies change that attitude, they'll make things like the Focus, Leaf, Volt. Yeah, I think the Volt was a mistake but some people love it and feel that it addressed the range issue nicely. It did address the issues head on, just not in a way that I like.
I think it might pay off to spread the mugshot of this character far and wide. There is a non zero chance that he's not dead at all.

The difference is this:

There was a way for Facebook to know. The tool was using their own API, so they knew exactly what was being fetched and how often.

I'm also not sure why it matters. Let's say Apple and Google are just as bad, I don't particularly care. It doesn't make what Facebook did any less worthy of scrutiny.

> Archeologists do the LEAST digging possible nowadays

Surely "LEAST" would be doing only non-invasive sensing, and rescue digs? Many digs still aren't.

> digging test pits and strips, to avoid complete site exposure

And oh, the care taken when digging and refilling pits, to minimize, for instance, the impact on the site microbiome... err, the site microwhatsit? Picture the careful brain surgeon, picking out his dropped bits of pepperoni and cheese, licking them off his greasy fingers, patting the cranial flap down, and beaming proudly.

Archeologists celebrating their standard of care... while being largely unfamiliar with even the current states of research in genomics, remote sensing, computer analysis, robotics, and much else, let alone their forseeable futures... Yes, jewler's pics are better than miner's pickaxes, careful troweling than careful dynamiting, and hand-held DLSR visual-light photos better than hand-held sketchbooks... but by how much? Compared to what's coming over the next hundred years?

'Highly likely' GRU hacked UK institute countering Russian fake news
Rereading the original paper I can't find anything objectionable. It's still insightful, applicable, and worthy of being a classic piece of scholarship. Maybe the man was racist but there's nothing overtly racist about the article itself unless one willfully infers intent based on words like "breeding". Problem being, nothing in the paper suggests that he didn't mean it to also apply to whites or to his own nation; rather, the obvious reading is that it applies universally, subject only to the institution of his recommended mitigations--education, property rights, legal and administrative prohibitions, etc.

What the paper gets wrong, if anything, is that populations can and do stabilize--even begin to shrink--much earlier than ever anticipated. More importantly, this occurs not in the face of disease or hardship but seemingly paradoxically because of wealth and selfishness. But that was never self-evident judging by how universally unchecked population explosion was assumed back then and how difficult the reality remains for people to appreciate even today. We only understood this after it had already come to pass in nations like Japan, and in general scholarship only relatively recently has it become presumed as a possible and natural outcome in the due course of industrialization.

This also wouldn't be the first time that a scholar put forth a remarkably simple and accurate statement of natural dynamics and then subsequently failed to apply their own argument with sufficient rigor and restraint, resulting in suspect secondary conclusions.

Reverse Tab Completion
Is it possible to get reverse tab completion, so that you type the last characters in the filename you want, press tab (or whatever the reverse keystroke is), and get the full file name?

Sometimes I have files where the unique bit is at the end, and tab completion is useless for them. For example with these ---

version1.txt
version2.txt
version3.txt

--- I'd have to type out "version" before hitting tab, and what I'd like is to type 1.txt, hit tab, and have "version" prepended.

>we all work more for the same thing

No, we work more for more things. If you were to live according to the living standards of the times we associate with stereotypical one income households, say 40 years ago, your house would be 1000 sq feet smaller, your electricity consumption would be much lower because you would have no smartphone, a small TV, your car would not have the features it has today, you would likely have no college education, and your healthcare expenditure would be lower because you would receive significantly less care. You also would sweat a lot in the summer, because back then air conditioning was a luxury rather than the rule.

You would also eat significantly less meat, and you would be much less likely to go on holidays, travel abroad, or eat fresh fruit from the other end of the world at all times during the year.

Thanks for clarifying, I figured I was generalizing it a bit.
The tax system is kinder to married couples who split up than cohabiting people in this scenario. Stamp duty on a transfer to the remaining party can accrue the 3% "second home" charge if you're not careful whereas there's an exemption for married couples transferring properties between themselves. Married couples can also transfer assets between themselves without being liable to capital gains tax. This matters if someone moves out before a sale or buyout of their share.
People might complain about banks, but when you have cases of fraud at least you have people try to recover it. Government makes you keep pretty good records. In this case how do you undo the blockchain? In this case what recourse do you have.

The TL;DR: if you are in the dominant population group you are indeed subject to far more pervasive surveillance but are virtually immune from most forms of state intimidation (victimization rhetoric notwithstanding).

I think you have to consider the technology limitations. Those guys did the maximum surveillance possible at the time -- had the tech been better they would have done more. As they do today in Russia, China, and other countries.

In addition the Chekist model was proactive: not just surveillance but intervention (intimidation and imprisonment) and they were not just unapologetic but public that their efforts would sweep up many loyal innocents as simply a cost of assuring the security of the state.

So that's what you're comparing to. What is the comparison in the USA?

On the surveillance side the collection is of course far more than was possible with index cards and shoe leather, and thanks to Snowdon we do know that in some (many!) domains it is indeed maximalist, though there's some limited evidence of a slight step back from that. So in that regard I agree with your statement. In addition, just as the Cheka/KGB/Stasi et al used informants, the US governments (unlike USSR, at all levels: federal, state and even municipal) use the third party doctrine and other such artifices to get around whatever legal constraints might apply (rather than simply ignoring them, though that happens too). Once once it's been privatized, of course the collectors are monetising it. A vast subterranean surveillance state with even fewer controls than the KBB was subject to!

But on the proactive level, terror intervention is used somewhat selectively in the west: against marginalized communities (various racial minorities in a gulag system again operating at multiple government levels), expropriation of property without recourse (so-called civil forfeiture), what are essentially show trials with "plea bargains" (a favorite of the USSR and considered a violation of human rights in most countries) and of course concentration camps against immigrants and the use kidnapping of children for behavioral extortion purposes. The former are perfectly legal under international law; the latter (against foreigners) are clear violation of international law written and promulgated by the US -- law to which the country is withdrawing.

This is uninformed and wrong.

You can implement defmacro in 8 lines of syntax case. The opposite is not possible. Anything you can do with defmacro is possible using whatever lower level macro facility available in scheme (be it based on syntactic closures, implicit/explicit renaming or syntax case).

The extra complexity of dynamic-wind is required because scheme supports call/cc. You can easily limit dynamic wind to be comparable to unwind-protect, but that would render continuations useless for other things than escapes.

The single namespace has roughly one one common consequence: having to name your lists lst, which is easy. Types and classes are by convention <type>.

Continuations are cool and useful, although full blown ones are ugly. Delimited continuations are making their way into some schemes. In guile they are used to build guile-fibers, which are really cool.

The only thing common lisp really brings is cross-implementation compatibility. Compared to <your favourite scheme> it is mostly a matter of taste and, compared to some implementations, maturity.

Testing components in isolation is useful to ensure that your components work as expected. But it will never ensure that your whole system works as expected, unless the interaction between your components is so simple as to be obviously correct (which, in my experience, is almost never the case).

But if you collect payments through Apple App Store or Google Play because your apps are available on their platforms, even if customers didn't discover it from the stores but through your own marketing methods, the platforms get the full 30%. There are some ways to circumvent this, but not really.

I get the cost/corporate thing. But I take a view that I am 100% ok with any substance any one person wants to take and believe that it's ok (and possible to be normal) with continued dependent use (especially if it has benefit, like living a happier or more productive live). And in fact with harder drugs it seems to me a lot of the problems would be solved if we give 100% reliable access with no impurities.
Couldn’t agree more. I grew up with cassette and LP. First time I heard a CD, specifically Pink Floyd’s Money with the cash register, it was jaw dropping. LPs are cool for the artwork, but that’s it.

That being said, I still only buy music in CD, due to all the hassle of DRM and playback. I just want to drop in a CD and listen to the entire album, not futz with computers, encoders, and software.

I have a simple CD player, kit built tube amp, and homemade single driver speakers.
I think there is a difference between gas and batteries in the uncertainty that you are equating.

If my car always gets 25 mpg or more, and it's got a gallon left, I could have some uncertainty about how far it is to the gas station, or exactly how much fuel I have, but I'm confident that my remaining range is going to be very close to 25 mpg x gallons left. Summer or winter, it's not going to be that different.

On the other hand, if I had an electric car that says I have 25 miles left, based on all my experience with batteries, I presume that is based on a complicated model that may be way off in accuracy with no warning. It also may decline in a very nonlinear and unexpected way. Particularly in extreme weather.
Rephrased statements are in the comment above yours. I think I had others but can't recall them.

I've driven it across the country a few times... twice from AZ through to northern WA, and out to FL once. It's fun to drive, accelerates nicely... for that matter, most of my highway time is in 4cyl (eco mode at 30+mpg). Last drive from WA to Phoenix, the average was 34mpg. On the flip side, I can go uphill and not feel like I'm stuck in molasses.

In town driving I get around 19mpg average... by contrast, the last 4cyl car I had got around 24mpg in town, and was horrible to drive.

I also prefer the looks, and sit very comfortably compared to smaller cars (I'm big and tall). I don't sit comfortably in any other coupe.
I read the comment as a suggestion to temporarily subsidise the cost of providing payment processing, update management and DRM for free to app developers in exchange for momentum/traction which I find intellectualy honest criticism of MS play. In reality this revenue sharing strategy may have evolved from temporarily subsidise into reduce our margins and landed on the 15/5 pc royalty described in this announcement.

DTI ratios are usually pretty generous, but if you can't qualify without the rental income, you may need to buy a 2-4 unit building and rent the other units to friends. This can be done with an FHA insured loan. It may be possible to count rental income on a 1 unit property under some programs, I am not fmailiar with all the rules. I don't think you can with an FHA loan, though.
Sorry to hear that. I've been on that rollercoaster, but by the sound of it not nearly that bad. On one hand, if you're happy now, why try to get off them? On the other hand, if you're determined to stop for whatever reason, talk to a psychiatrist or medical professional you trust, and discuss a plan to deal with than if it comes up again. Is it in any way similar to what caused you to start taking the meds in the first place? Has the root cause of that been addressed? Have you tried CBT, or any other therapy? Stoicism (which CBT is based on)? There might be done short term remedies to help through the withdrawl if it's just a short term thing - best to discuss these with a professional, but I've heard that sleep deprivation (skip one night of sleep; lessens depression for a week or so) is one possibility. If you can try to approach the problem with an external, interested perspective it might help; I was quite amazed at what my brain and body were doing in withdrawl despite feeling quite miserable - aside from the brain zaps, I had a funny effect on Effexor where if I looked up and to the left, I would hear a sound like two darts flying past my left ear. Hope it works out for you.
