It is not crazy at all. But realize that patients that suffer from these disorders have likely been hounded for decades by doctors, employers and various government workers. I think they have heard all the variants of "I think you are faking it" that you can ever think of. That doesn't excuse the patients death threats, but one should thread carefully.

There are also a lot of diseases that were thought of to be psychosomatic that turned out to not be such as peptic ulcer disease. There is also gender bias in play. Pain or illness affecting males are more likely to be classified as physiological while the same thing affecting females is more likely to be classified as psychological.

I'm not certain, I'm not familiar with that situation. (I think "UCS-2" is basically "legacy" and not actually a unicode standard at this point? I'm not familiar with it).

If the issue is invalid bytes for a given unicode encoding (I am familiar with those!), I'm not certain what the official unicode normalization algorithms would do to them. They might just leave invalid bytes alone. The discussion of normalization seems to be in terms of codepoints though; a bytestream with invalid bytes (that can't be turned into unicode codepoints)... I would guess most actually existing normalization implementations are gonna complain about that. One could certainly write an algorithm that would just leave those bytes alone, I'm not sure if it would be considered compliant with the standard or not, just can't say.

Why does this come up?
Alphabet sold Motorola to Lenovo a few years ago after doing really nothing productive with them.
Swift is another major language that has correctly solved this problem in this way - i.e. not representing/operating on strings as though they were naive arrays of bytes or code points - but rather as though they were arrays of characters, which Unicode thoroughly and intuitively defines in the same way that humans think about characters.
My wife has been hobby painting for the last few years! Like others have said the foremost thing that will help you improve is to enjoy the painting experience. We have so much art lying around our apartment that soon we will run out of space.

During her early days she would paint 1,2 paintings over the weekend, and with time the sophistication grew and she started exploring newer techniques, and at this stage some of her paintings take a week or 2 to complete. Some of her colleagues and friends have shown keen interest in buying her artwork so that tells you she`s getting good at it.

Shameless plug: https://instagram.com/swethareddyart

There are a lot of other artists on IG who share their work and techniques some even goto the length of making videos explaining the techniques.

Side note: looking for tips on best ways to take a picture of the artwork and get prints? Anyone have experience doing this.

It's a conflict of interest of course. The good thing is that it hurts a lot of people, especially people with disposable income with the power to change things, and especially people with stores of capital/influence. It's like a SaaS product, where sales/marketing (the most important division of a company) literally cannot do their jobs if engineering-provided services go down. It's much less easy to gouge engineering in such a situation than say releasing a waterfall build, and having it fail after the sale.

If POTUS & Co. restrained themselves to separating children at the border and disappearing them into pedophile rings that they may frequent later (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/20/nyregion/children-separat...), people may not be as outraged, because it doesn't affect them. Instead, they flaunt their power in our faces, in a way that may affect our physical safety. They don't whisper, and that's good.

What would be really concerning is if people think this is okay, and the people with means realize the only way to really stay safe in a world where laws don't mean too much is to become part of the government, like in Russia. Then you have things like ambulance limos (https://jalopnik.com/ultra-rich-russians-hire-fake-ambulance...). I wouldn't know how to work backwards from that.

DF has long had support for graphical tile sets, and the announcement on Patreon mentions that the developers will be doing some work specifically to support the new graphics. I think that comment is there to allay any fears that this release and future releases might be burdened with any kind of functional user interface.
Rimworld is wonderful if you've played DF. They are very similar games with different levels of complexity and detail.
It is somewhat popular to hate on useless dung heaps of pointless Javascript, not because it's Javascript (writing complex code in a mediocre language with mediocre libraries is a separate concern), nor because backend developers have good reasons to do things in the backend, but because it's overcomplicated and so bloated that it causes performance problems, just like nested table layouts a few years ago.
No the criticisms are still valid. There's still severe frame rate issues under quite a few circumstances. The military thing is more subjective though, it's still a complicated system, but such is the way of DF.

As much as I can see why Tarn wants to keep the code closed source, I really wish he'd allow someone to help him with some optimisations.

I once had a mature fortress laid waste by a black dragon. My dwarves got it killed, but there were only three surviving dwarves (who had been fully plate armored) out of 200, and after the battle they were so stricken with grief they could hardly do anything.

I've had invasions of orcs and goblins thrown back by fortresses. What a complex and !FUN! game.

This is a good point -- the friction in switching from shopping at Walmart to shopping at Target, for example is pretty low (provided both exist in you local area).

The friction of switching from iPhone to Android is high for most people: purchasing an iPhone quality Android device and repurchasing apps could easily exceed $1000.

Sure, but the rules are _reasonably_ unambiguous and unchanging. The 30% cut has been in place since day one. If Spotify didn't like it, they had the choice to focus their attentions exclusively on other platforms. That wasn't the case with Windows+IE, when effectively there were no other platforms of any size.
At the same time, having the same base as Chrome means you won't be left behind when people start only developing for Chrome (which is a problem right now).

But that's just a very narrow slice of the vast world of visual art.
In the grand scheme of things, I think it is a good thing that Google, or any other big tech company, isn't dominating every product category.

Think about it: Google is dominating search and online advertising, they have the most popular web browser in the world, the most used mobile OS in the world, they have Youtube, Maps, Gmail, Chromebooks.

Now imagine if they also ruled messaging, social media, had the most used laptops and tablet in the world, were dominating on cloud, etc...

I cannot see that as being a good thing for consumer.

It's such a disaster to see people so severely affected by the healthcare system in America. If you haven't been keeping track, there's been a similar issue with SomethingAwful's Lowtax, who is deep in debt as a result of some of the medical issues he's going through.

It's enough to certainly make me consider working in a different country. I wonder if there would be any possibilities of the Dwarf Fortress developers moving elsewhere such that they don't have to worry about a medical disaster bankrupting them.
That's a really one sided view of the equation. You aren't considering all the benefit from encouraging people to do jobs they might not otherwise do, yet that need to be done.

I'd imagine there are many positives to the system that you are ignoring simply to find the next Einstein. Which is kind of a fallacy, because science is not done by a lone genius but by teams of researchers over decades.

Hey Process, there is a Message for you
The trouble with the PACE study isn't just its flaws, but also how the researchers responded to anyone that challenged it.

For example, in order to get meaningful results from a trial like this you need to choose your definition of success before the trial starts. The plans for the PACE study did have such a definition, and while it wasn't great it also wasn't terrible. The final study didn't use it; it used a new and much weaker definition. So far this is all sadly pretty commonplace.

Then the patients involved in the study got wind of this and tried to find out what the results were if they used the original, planned methodology. According to the researchers, this was a dangerous and vexatious attack on science by activists - and because they were respectable scientific figures working for major institutions, and the people questioning their research were mostly disabled women who were, according to the mainstream consensus, nuts, people believed them.

This article is basically a direct extension of this tactic, and it's working. I can already see a few folks elsewhere in the comments calling on universities to sack the few scientists who questioned this...
Even if customers don't have safety concerns, the stories if 737 MAX 8 flights being turned around midair are surely causing people to pick other jets to avoid travel inconvenience.

> The only way to get better is by painting... you'll have to paint a lot

As with any creative skill, especially the ones that involve fine motoric skills, one cannot skip the practice. The advice I once read about learning how to draw applies in some way to all of them:

"Every artist has at least a thousand bad drawings in them. It is best to get these out as quickly as possible."
I would suggest picking one segment of a scene, such as part of mountain, and keep trying until you perfect it.

I remember Ross doing a training video along these lines... the resulting painting at the end was not one whole scene, but a bunch of discrete components: trees, mountains, water, etc.

I did a few paintings in his technique years ago. I was surprised at how easy it was to produce something decent.
That reminds me of one point: I highly respect that Elon Musk doesn't wall himself off from the mind of the internet (aka the populace). It's something you won't see other CEOs do, unless it's a PR stunt meant to achieve some positive PR statistics.
Yep, my focus was building it for SaaS services. It just so happened to be that the method of least resistance for something to get rolling, in my mind, was to do it via a browser extension.

At that point, it seemed more difficult to filter out websites that wouldn't fit into this category, hence the question: why not everything?

Your points on passion is valid though. Maybe folks just don't care enough about the web. I do think they do care about the services provided on the web though.

Awesome images, thanks for sharing. I wish they'd have put these in science books growing up.

Are these to scale? It's interesting to see how much more particular (as in, composed of large particles) these cells look compared to the illustrations I'd seen growing up.

I always imagined the proteins that made up a cell wall would be more on the order of how grass looks to a human, in terms of size respective to the cell.

Or another analogy, I used to think of a cell like a room (the cell membrane) with furniture in it (the organelles). Now it seems more like just a big pile of furniture.
I thought 2.5D was used for 2-d rendered games that had depth, like zelda: a link to the past (very much a 2d game where you can jump down cliffs, but not climb up them).
A significant fraction of people, if asked, will tell you that they believe the work they do has no value.

Other people might think differently, maybe that person is depressed, maybe they are depressed because of factors at work -- nevertheless it is a real sentiment.
The “Totally free” at the end of the second paragraph would be better placed at the end of the first paragraph. Right now the second paragraph is not very readable on the background image, and I completely missed it while skimming. I had to look at the “About” page and come back to realize it’s free.

Since it’s free, what’s the business model? Please state that clearly on the homepage. I usually avoid anything that’s free and doesn’t seem to have a business model (however hazy or crazy the model might sound to some).

Your privacy piece says “We are deleting data as soon as it is no longer relevant.” Please expand on this. I didn’t understand what “no longer relevant” means. Do you delete events after the date has passed? Or do you delete the RSVPs alone? When exactly do the deletions happen? It’s fine if you haven’t completely figured this out yet. But saying vague things isn’t a good idea in general.
What they need to do is split off the new competing services into a walled corporation (even new entity). And they play fair by the rules, so 30% tax even to them.

Undergraduate freshmen are perfectly capable of understanding basic linear algebra, and thus quantum entanglement.

Regarding the nature of language and how it relates to mathematics, I don't think it's correct to say math is a "subset" of language; there is no satisfactory definition of language that encompasses all the way humans communicate with one another, and it makes more sense to restrict the definition of language to its use in specific interactions (the language of interacting with a cashier to buy an item from a store, and the different language of telling your team what you worked on during standup, for example). In this sense the use of mathematics to describe quantum mechanics is a language in itself.
> their original big success was a cool technology that they built a product / user experience around (their search tech).

i think it is other way around - they significantly improved existing pain point of bad web search user experience by applying and implementing what in its core is citation analysis that had long been used in academia. The other successes also seem to start with a task or need at hand not with a cool tech - while Android may have started as a vision, its purchase was a result of the need for mobile OS, Youtube guy wanted a place to publish videos, Chrome originating from Webkit is definitely not a cool tech, more like Google didn't have enough strength/balls to go with Mozilla while having pressing need for a browser to control, Maps and GMail were significant improvement upon existing user experience, while in contrast Google Wave for example was cool tech for completely new, from scratch user experience.

I think you are looking too hard for things to be upset about if you mistake someone referring to Obama's administration as ethical in contrast to Trump's as claiming Obama's was perfect.
It's working now, though the flow is a little weird. I created the account on my desktop, but didn't have my personal email setup there, so I activated on my iPad. That activated my account, but it's missing any relevant info. Eg, instead of "Hi Peter, thanks for activating!" it just says, "Hi , thanks for activating!". I also can't login from my iPad. Tapping on "Log in" does nothing, won't even bring up the side bar. It works if I open an incognito tab, though. For reference, using the latest Chrome app on the iPad.
I'm not sure it's fully from efficiency of scale, especially outside of manufacturing. What I keep seeing is using one's size to keep out newcomers as the most important factor. You have more patents and more lawyers and can accept financial losses longer on specific products to keep them out: products A and B subsidize C when C is threatened. And you can bundle multiple products into "special deals" the way a single-product producer can't. And there's the network effect that social networks use: you need more customers before you can get customers.

In short, economic bullying.

Not really sure why NFC has become the general standard.

UAX#15 notes that:

> The W3C Character Model for the World Wide Web 1.0: Normalization [CharNorm] and other W3C Specifications (such as XML 1.0 5th Edition) recommend using Normalization Form C for all content, because this form avoids potential interoperability problems arising from the use of canonically equivalent, yet different, character sequences in document formats on the Web. See the W3C Character Model for the Word Wide Web: String Matching and Searching [CharMatch] for more background.

One of the W3C documents cited says:

> NFC has the advantage that almost all legacy data (if transcoded trivially, one-to-one, to a Unicode encoding), as well as data created by current software or entered by users on most (but not all) keyboards, is already in this form. NFC also has a slight compactness advantage and is a better match to user expectations in most languages with respect to the relationship between characters and graphemes.

Its great they're bringing DF to a larger audience and adding graphical tile sets will sure help but I found the most inscrutable thing about this game wasn't how it presented the graphics but the menu system. I'm curious if the Steam release will do anything to make that less impenetrable.
