Great story.

I kind of agree with many others here that it sounds like a mental health issue. But I also think that the story is more complicated than that.

We shouldn't neglect the impact on the brain a professional sports career has. I've seen it many times. The amount of sacrifice and energy put into something like this leads to a very unbalanced lifestyle, which is usually encouraged from all sides (parents, coaches, friends). Most often, the only positive emotion athletes experience is that joy of achieving a goal, and this quickly starts becoming an addiction. Especially in sports where not a lot of money is involved, passion and perseverance play a huge role in personal motivation and these sports usually attract athletes that put everything on hold in their life for their minute in the spotlight.

Unfortunately, only a minor fraction of athletes ends their career by choice. Usually, lack of success or injuries tend to force people to retire with unfinished business. This hits the "addicted" athlete very hard, and in an environment where it is generally not advisable to show weakness, can lead to severe mental health issues quickly.

Speaking from personal experience, life is pretty dull after being forced to retire. I fell into a deep existential crisis, mostly because the thing that was responsible for most of the joy in my life wasn't even remotely fun anymore, even as a simple hobby. The fact that I knew I wasn't on top of my game anymore, and I am not investing 100% of my energy into improving made it a pretty dull experience. On top of that, most of my social environment was still connected to that sport, so I wasn't really able to walk away and focus entirely on something different. And even worse, everything else I tried felt meaningless, I felt like it wasn't worth it if I didn't invest 100% of my energy into something I was passionate about. For me, nothing compares to the joy of pursuing a passion and putting everything I have into it.

It's worth noting that, at least in the New Testament Greek, "faith" also translates as "trust". It is an emphasis on knowing and trusting God himself, not subscribing to a particular dogma. Jesus clearly ridiculed people who leveraged dogma for the sake of control, vanity, or out of ignorance.

In other words, Jesus blessed people who trust him though they didn't meet him. He didn't exactly expect people to say "Jesus... nice name. I think I go apologize to my wife now." The expectation was always that Christians would be a people who taught and encouraged each other to understand Jesus and trust him.

In fact "blind faith" itself is a reference to Jesus mocking folks with ignorant dogma.
None of them required an interview. Some offered an optional interview, which I would do if I was particularly interested in a college, but it was by no means required.

Yes, you are right.

The entire ActivityPub concept is flawed, but not because you would be left alone in your server, it's the opposite: since you're interacting with your friends, your friends' server would then fetch all posts from your server and vice-versa, it will be as if there was just one server, but maintenance costs are now duplicated and the discovery process is not great also.

These problems are less problematic the smaller the servers are, which makes me think the best structure would be one in which each user is its own server and just syncs to temporary syncing hubs when possible -- or maybe sync directly to other online peers they know.

This all seems kind of funny to me because these are almost the exact same arguments on why power lines are bad. They kill trees, they kill bugs, they cause kids to be hyper, they cause kids to be depressed, they cause cancer, they misalign the resonant frequency of your brain. A hundred years later I still hear the same arguments but never once has anything borne out.

Can I get an argument against the 5G standard that doesn't amount to, "This may cause harm through an unknowable secondary mechanism despite roughly 100 years of evidence that it is safe."

> AMP has never affected organic scores

Are you sure? It seems to me that AMP pages totally dominate the results. And Google explicitly says they consider performance, which means they have come up with some metrics they consider to represent performance, one of which could effectively be "is it AMP?". AMP pages do have automatic performance advantages: Google often prefetches the content before you've tapped it, and they render the content inline instead of navigating you to it.

I think the site is getting hugged to death. The quotes explaining the "bungled" bit is:

"Here’s the thing: misuse of personal data and hateful content were not the reasons emphasized by AOC for why she quit Facebook. She instead called social media a “public health risk” that too often leads to “increased isolation, depression, anxiety, addiction, escapism.”"

and

"In other words, the important story is not the fear that social media companies will improperly use our data; it’s instead the fear that they’ll subvert our primal drive to cultivate a meaningful life."

Despite my strong skepticism of this technology being used as a replacement or even supplement for solar panels anytime in the near future, I really admire the creative thought process that led them to get even the miniscule results they did.

I'm not a chemist or phyhsicist in any regard, so I can't say whether this could be the stepping stone to something more large scale down the line. Could anyone shed light on whether there are any physical limits given the materials used (slilcone, snow, etc.) to how much energy you could extract?

It's definitely interesting.

I think one major element is absurdity, which is a big part of humour and of logic... Reductio ad absurdum is a logical negation, and it comes up a lot in sober politcal arguments/rhetoric.

Another element is taboo. Comedy is edgy, which pretty much means bringing up things you're not supposed to bring up.

Yet another part is what laughter actually is. We tend to assume it's about humour, but when researchers measure, it turns out that <10% of laughter is directly humour related. Think of how many awkward laughs you get in a board meeting or diplomatic negotiation. Laughter expresses solidarity, subservience, esprrit de corps.. The implications go deep.

I don't agree on this one. The whole point of the ACME protocol is that it allows for automated certificate management. Thus, it shouldn't matter if you manage 1 of 10000 subdomains, because you should automate it anyway.

Also, if for some reason the automated process fails, I'd rather have one subdomain go down, than all of them.

Yes, but I wonder how they afford it? It seems like to work in those roles you have to have family wealth or something. I don't really get it. I tried being an academic and pretty quickly determined I would always be broke if I continued on that career path.

Also, I wonder how objective these scientists are given how they compete for funding and what an echo chamber these communities are. They play a big game of being good researchers, but I kind of think a lot of foregone conclusions are never again revisited until reality slaps them in the face from some other direction.

If the admissions system is easy and you don't need to physically visit or interview to apply to a college, why doesn't everyone literally apply to all colleges to cast the net as wide as possible?

If everyone did that it'd turn the system around and have the colleges bidding for and trying to attract you.

In the UK they only let you apply to some small number of colleges (universities), and only let you apply to one elite college.

"This appears to be more useful for wearables than as a replacement for solar panels in the winter."

That's a degree of bullshit so high that it has me seriously questioning what otherwise sounds at least reasonable. Yeah, I know, every science paper has to connect itself to some fashionable area of research that will excite the grant writers, like renewable energy or climate change, but the idea that it would ever be practical to capture that much power from snow is absurd. This is a particularly tenuous connection. The upper bounds on this technique are tiny; any advantage it may have is in its ability to deliver tiny amounts of power to places that would otherwise have none. If snow had any significant amount of energy in it, we'd know, because we'd get shocked when we stood in it.

I think I'm going to settle on feeling bad for the scientists that they've done such interesting work and were forced by the system to spew such heavy bullshit on top of it to keep getting funded.
This is an excellent question and a very good use-case. I'm a Polish speaker myself, so I can definitely relate. It's also a good excuse for me to talk a little bit more about the advanced features of Fluent.

The Fluent Syntax is a simple declarative DSL. By design, it doesn't allow translators to build complex conditionals or use arithmetic. There is, however, an escape hatch. The problem you described can be solved in Fluent with a little bit of one-time help from the developer of the source code, through a feature of Fluent called custom functions.

Translations in Fluent can use functions to format values or decide between variants. There exist built-in functions like NUMBER and DATETIME. They are rarely used because the Fluent runtime calls them on numeric and temporal values implicitly, but they can be helpful when localizers wish to use custom formatting options.

weekday-today = Today is {DATETIME($today, weekday: "long")}.

See https://projectfluent.org/play/?id=a3540d4f02c104a634adbfc0e... for a live example of DATETIME.

There can also be custom functions, defined during the initialization of the runtime. In Firefox, we use one such function called PLATFORM: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/d33d470140ce3f9426.... It can be used as follows:

open-preferences = {PLATFORM() ->
[windows] Open Options
*[other] Open Preferences
}

The logic of custom functions is entirely up to developers and the localization needs of the UI. In https://github.com/projectfluent/fluent/issues/228#issuecomm..., for instance, I suggested using a custom function to handle negative and positive floor numbers.

A custom function can also cater to the use-case you described. A simple and possibly naive implementation in JavaScript could look like the following one:

function NUMBER_HEAD(num) {
while (num > 999) {
num /= 1e3;
}
let first = num.toString()[0];
return num < 10 ? first
: num < 100 ? first + "x"
: first + "xx";
}

I wrote this with Polish in mind, but it could be useful to other languages in which numerals are named after the first thousand-triple, in a left to right order. Depending on the exact product requirements, the function could be called NUMBER_HEAD_POLISH, or perhaps NUMBER_HEAD_TRIPLE_FIRST_DIGIT :)

Once defined, the function can be used as follows:

# The Polish copy can take advantage of the custom function.
page-of = {NUMBER_HEAD($pageTotal) ->
[1xx] Strona {$pageCurrent} ze {$pageTotal}
*[other] Strona {$pageCurrent} z {$pageTotal}
}

This method still requires some work from developers, but it only needs to happen once and in a single palce in code: where the Fluent runtime is initialized. Because they are code, custom functions can be reviewed and tested just as any other code in the code base, to help ensure that they do what they claim to :)

Importantly, the use of the custom function is completely opt-in.

# The English copy doesn't need any special handling.
page-of = Page {$pageCurrent} of {$pageTotal}

All localization callsites remain unchanged, and all existing translations remain functional.
I mostly use lbzip2 for day-to-day tasks too. But shouldn't you compare to pzstd to be fair? It's not very surprising that running 4 threads is faster than 1 thread in wall clock time.

This is interesting because the military pilots I know simply love to fly. It's an amazing opportunity to fly amazing kit, and to get tons and tons of airtime. The pay was never that great, and young people in their early 20's shouldn't mind deployments in the midwest or wherever.

Also, it's a very aspirational job: "Jet Fighter Pilot". They make video games of that. Every little boy, at some point, considered wanting to do it.

Something fishy in the system, maybe a broken pipeline, because I can't imagine anything easier to at least get people excited about.
As for the section on Java, Java can indeed auto-vectorize certain loops, but the loops have to be "simple". Something like this would work:

for (int i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
z[i] = x[i] * y[i];
}

(Above code copied from: http://prestodb.rocks/code/simd/ )

But the reason it doesn't work for the article's code is because of the accumulator variable. That is not supported yet. See: https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7192383

However, the difference between using sum() and reduce() are interesting. Will eventually have to JMH to verify if this is still the case and if it matters in our codebase.

The perception of tattoos in the US was pretty much the same until the late eighties. Only criminals, bikers, and some military people had them. The Research book Modern Primitives seemed to really popularize them among college kids in the US and it kind of trickled down from there. I definitely saw a lot of people get them in the wake of that book. As this generation has gotten older tattoos have become more acceptable.
