I don't fully understand the question but here is my thoughts on "emotional detachment" and "absence of the feeling of unhappiness"

When I separate me with what is driven by me... I start to realize that I'm not JUST my feelings/ego. Saying I'm not my feelings/ego is as big of a lie as saying I am the ego.

But realizing that I am not JUST the ego puts me in a beautiful state of the mind -- so different than other states that I call it "no state". For me it is better to first think that I'm not the ego then embrace it -- it always works for me when I want to go into a deeper level of peace/joy/consciousness.

In other words, detachment from feelings is a tool used by me to get to the state where I feel everything.

Also, I like to think of all these as a complex mind/being trying to optimize/control itself -- it is not supernatural, religious or anything.

I question the whole premise of this article. The use of "some" in the title also seems incorrect when just one person actually quit. The person also quit to go to an industry where all she has to do is charge rent, in other words, she quit to go do nothing. I think that another perfectly reasonable explanation is that her quitting had nothing to do with the stress of whatever '996' job she had. She quit because she didn't want to work.
I simply think we need to be honest about the language that we use. The truth is, instead of "nobody was happy", "nobody made i18n a priority" is far more accurate. Calling it a "lie" is perhaps too strong, but that's essentially what it is, intentional or not.

If nobody was happy about it, why was it deployed? That brings us to even more questions. Nothing presented thus far portrayed the decision to update in a better light, in fact it's only made my opinion of it worse.

I am used to websites having little to no i18n, but it's a complete mistake to actively remove existing i18n. For what? Rust 2018? A better looking landing page? Honestly now I'm just skeptical about the organizational structures that lead to this decision being approved.

Yeah, and the Navy can also impose the death penalty and lock people in jail and throw away the key for fucking up on the job.

Maybe you just solved the problem. The Navy should operate the civilian nuclear power plants.
Another in the growing line of supply chain attacks. It's inevitable that as primary sites improve their security, attackers will seek to exploit other elements in the chain that might present easier targets.

Given the number of 3rd party JavaScript files that commonly get loaded for things like tracking and analytics, it seems likely we'll see more of these kinds of sites getting targeted.

They can do this, but I think the point of contention is whether it will ultimately turn out to be a wise strategic decision. The fact that it's not an entirely voluntary decision also seems at least somewhat important.
I know that Python and Javascript have their warts (as do all languages in my experience), but what decisions in particular are you thinking of?
Interview with Alexander Nix, Former Head of Cambridge Analytica
They don't have ""reasonable"" concerns with scare quotes. They have legitimately reasonable concerns. Nuclear is prohibitively expensive, inherently dangerous (in terms of being high-stakes), difficult to oversee properly (particularly since reactors can outlive governments), and it requires disposal of some of the most toxic waste mankind has ever produced.

I have an answer to all of those concerns, but that does NOT mean they're any less reasonable.

Anti-vaxx on the other hand have completely UNreasonable concerns. Most of those I talk to in the anti-vaxx movement still think there's a risk of autism. Many think this is all a conspiracy by big pharma to sell more medicine. That's not reasonable. That's not even "reasonable". That's a conspiracy theory.

I think there's a fundamental difference here as well as a difference in scale. That's why I'm saying this is a terrible comparison.
Not haberman, but I've written loaders for both Mach-O and ELF, and really prefer ELF.

ELF is mainly structured like descriptive tables of how the relevant pieces look in memory; Mach-O is more structured like a script of commands that you run to load the binary. There's a couple places where the model breaks down for ELF, DWARF and GNU_STACK both feel more Mach-O, but if you're playing with binaries for non standard uses, ELF just feels a lot cleaner IMO.

I'd love to hear the Mach developer's arguments though.
Neither btrfs or the newer bcachefs being on that page is kinda sad as Linux is supposed to be the #1 operating system / kernel and Apple has deployed a next-gen file system by default but in the Linux world nothing seems to be happening beyond some people who still believe that btrfs has a future and one guy who is implementing bcachefs and has to beg for money on patreon because apparently no company wants to hire him to work on it.

In many ways ext4 is "good enough" but there are sweed juicy advantages of copy on write, checksummed file systems. I guess all of the enthusiasts are using ZFS which is a work of art but it has licensing problems AND IP is owned by a law firm with some engineers attached that was kickstarted by the CIA.
The death toll and radioactivity released by coal plants exceed Chernobyl and Fukushima ever year to every few years depending on which casualty estimates we go by. And then the long term environmental effects of coal come on top.

The vast majority of radioactive material we've released through nuclear accidents is far shorter lived isotopes than what gets released from the coal industry. Chernobyl was mostly Caesium and Strontium isotopes with a half life around 30 years.

The comparison is ridiculous.
That is excellent point, I really like where you are going with this. It shows maturity of the applicant as well.

Sometimes I would like to say, you know, I like to work with good devs, so if you don't mind, I would like to ask you some coding questions. It freaked out some people with that, but it is in the same range as the questions they are asking.
I remember when Nvidia first launched GeForce Now in 2015 with their attempt at mobile gaming using the Android Shield. It was a good idea in principle, so I was sad to see it not do as well.

Glad that Nvidia is pivoting to moving the service back to a full computer setting. The Shield while cool, really could have done with a better screen.
Because everything is gradual.

Getting a refund or owing at the end of the year has diddly squat to do with amount or percentage of taxes paid.

Are you sure it wasn't due to your company messing up withholdings in 2018? What state do you live in and how much is average property tax in your area?

For reference we live in a blue state and own a home and my family made approx $3k more in 2018 vs 2017 yet we paid $1k less in taxes in 2018. We went from itemizing to taking the standard deduction.
That's right. You hit different brackets but each only affects income over that brackets minimum. You just progressively pocket less the more you earn which is sort of diminishing the return on your investment in work hours.

Edit: oh youou were talking about proper literarry borrowings. still though ...

"does" or at least do-support comes from celtic.

"have" is pretty close ot "avoir", and b/v (viz Ger "haben" is not a common sound correspondance.

"a" is not a word, it's a particle so short so that saying it descended is almost non-sensical. The proper form would be "an" (and even french "un" agrees).

"of", again a meaningless particle. There went so much wrong with prepositions, too, since PIE, they got turned up-side down, literally.

"non" rings of French, not German.

"to be" mostly changed since Germanic, and not straight forward either.

"than", nope, not original.

word has a fine root, most I'll take, core is not core vocabulary, the developed seemingly independently, but analogue to other Germanic languages, this, that are OK but close to Fr. ce, ca anyway, is is still pretty close to Latin est, Germanic or not ...

> Study participants were allowed to eat as much or as little as they wanted, but ended up eating way more of the ultra-processed meals, even though they didn't rate them as being tastier than the unprocessed meals.
100% agree, both as a pedestrian and as a driver. RTOR introduces deadly ambiguity in exchange for marginal convenience. It's not worth it.

I would like to be able wait for the light to change without feeling like I'm being an asshole to other drivers behind me.
I only know the ELF format in detail, but I think the major complaint is that ELF uses a flat namespace for symbols whereas Mach-O has a two-level namespace. Furthermore, ELF lets you preload dynamic libraries such that you can override calls even to symbols provided in the same shared object.

Finshir – A generic, optimized alternative to SlowLoris, written in Rust
While I'm sure they're considerably better than processed foods, I wonder how the whole fruits, grains, and vegetables that have been selectively bred, or genetically modified to be all about tastiness(or growth speed, shelf life, etc) would stack up against other strains. All tomatoes can't possibly be equal, so it'd be interesting to see studies like this, but comparing a roma tomato, vs heirloom or something.
>That can't possibly last for a long time.

US antitrust law is motivated by the idea that it will last for long enough to hurt. That's why monopolies are specifically broken up.

After killing all of the competition, a monopoly could threaten to drop prices again if anyone else sprung up. That is enough to act as a deterrent, if you want to find out about the economic arguments before or against, research the history of anti-trust.

I expect a large number of middle/upper-middle class people would already be made for life if they just moved to a low cost area/country and simplified their lifestyle.

But we carry on because we want more.
> nuclear energy seems to be the only way we have right now to at least try to avoid the oncoming climate catastrophe.

Fortunately, within the past few years, this is no longer true. Renewables + storage are now cheaper than nuclear as a carbon free and dispatchable resource. They are actually not only winning bids for new generation, they are actually starting to win power purchase agreements over _existing_ coal power plants and expecting to start beating existing gas plants within 5-10 years.

It's truly remarkable how fast solar, wind, and batteries have scaled up and started competing on price in the base load markets over the past few years.

The current expectation in the utility industry is that by the time next gen nuclear is commercialized, the grid will already be >90% carbon free. So even if we missed the boat on nuclear, there are other carbon free alternatives that are scaling up to meet decarbonization needs.

Similar here. For me I was able to correct most GI issue and lost 16lbs just by cutting out gluten. I don’t have celiac, but the effect was undeniable.
Glad we agree that it is pure hypocrisy to blame a private company for simply acting within the law...
Sounds like stress to me.
A lot of it is that processed foods are cheaper since they're more shelf stable, but to be more shelf stable you add either a lot of fat (which isn't currently consumer desirable) or a lot of other crap (which consumers don't seem to mind as much). Plus color preservatives and everything else, and you end up with a weird food facsimile.

I buy raw meats, cheese, some yogurt and a bit of bread and that's about it. Sometimes I break down and get some hot sauce. It's cheap, I eat like a king, and I'm effective at weight management aside from the occasional restaurant visit or party with friends. The only downside is the time I spend cooking - while it's an enjoyable hobby for me, I suspect most people can't dedicate that kind of time to meal prep or dinner.
I had an interview with a company that's mentioned from time to time here. When it was the founder's turn to grill me, he spent 90% of the time staring at his iphone while barely glancing at me.
Because there are only a few sites in the world that can supply reliable wind power in the megawatts, and the scales of storage required to provide even minimal backup power for solar to make it useful at the 3TW of power used by the United States are probably impossible (the figure I've heard for pumped water, e.g., is that every lake in the US would have to be raised 400m).

Solar/wind/storage means getting by with orders of magnitude less energy usage. Maybe we should? I just think that asking people to vote for that is even more impossible than getting them to vote for nuclear.
What are the arguments against calories in/calories out? Do critics believe that they will not lose weight on a caloric deficit?
I think what people choose to eat is extremely personal to them. I'm glad you made a lifestyle choice that benefitted you, but I would shudder the thought of living in a society where the government tells you exactly what you can and can't eat.

Education, public awareness, these kind of initiatives I can get behind. Regulation of food intake, is a step too far.

FWIW, I've eaten processed, fried, GMO foods my whole life (and consume fast food drive thru at least 5-6 times a week) and have no health issues whatsoever. But I try to not eat to excess and I exercise regularly.
So your decentralized grid involves large-scale deployment of RTGs? Have you thought about the security implications of that? It makes it massively easier for bad actors to obtain fissile materials.

At least it's feasible to provide high security for centralized nuclear facilities. (In the UK there's even a special police force for this.)
I agree we'll probably need some sort of carbon sequestration. I disagree that nuclear is the only possible power source for that (or for that matter, that sequestration is going to be that energy-intensive).
Sections and segments are so badly named. They may as well have called them data and different-data.

I guess it is too late to rename them though.
Isn't this study a bit unfair in that the ultra-processed diet was 508 calories more per day than the minimally processed one?
If we prove unwilling to spend on cutting CO2, what makes you think we will prove more willing to spend on carbon capture?
Comparing speeding to running red-lights is about as far from scientific as it gets. The concequences of most cyclist transgressions, ancedotally, and possibly in the study, seem to be higher in most cases. It is hardly useful to note that 'fewer cyclists speed through intersections than cars', as physics already provides that answer to any thinking person.
Again, in our case, we didn't use it as a screen unless the code was an unmitigated disaster or didn't complete the basic requirements.

So, if someone submitted something that could have been done better, see might ask what could be done to improve it in the follow up interview. A good answer would include the technical bits, and a better answer would describe the time recommendation and why a more polished version would take longer or be considered over-architecting.

This purpose- to inform a conversation with a concrete, familiar code base- is better than both take-home screen assignments as well as the in-person whiteboard exercises, which encourage route memorization and don't reflect the nature of the job we were hiring for.
What's the measurable difference between "processed" and "ultra-processed" foods?
Walter Belgers and Marcel van Kervinck's Gigatron (https://gigatron.io/) is also interesting. It's spirit is to use only 70's technology to keep the system "learnable" from the ground up, although they sometimes violate this rule for peripherals outside the main system.

Unfortunately I have very little experience with AI or ML. I did however have the lead contact on this paper (Yiannis Aloimonos) as a professor for computer vision my senior year at Maryland.

He spent most of the lectures rambling about his research, including this, rather than the course topic. I learned the course material on my own but still enjoyed listening to him.

I understand the frustration with interviews but your comment seems to show a lack of understanding in how interviews work.

Interviews are a competition, not a pass/fail exam. Or if we're going with the exam analogy you're being graded on a curve, so you could get a 90% but if everyone else scores 95+% you didn't do well.

What matters isn't whether you solve the question but how well you do compared to everyone else.
What's "GI"?

Please don't use acronyms that people might not understand.
Gifted might just mean top 10% of society. Which means that if you're in the 10th percentile there are still very many people who are more intelligent than you. Further, for any given field of expertise, you'll still bump into people who can intellectually wipe the floor with you (in their topic of expertise) unless you stick around and learn enough to surpass them.

Additionally, a lot of people mistake learned knowledge or implicit social values for intelligence, and so it can take a long time in a new environment to be able to actually demonstrate to anyone that you're intelligent.

I know this isn't the primary point of your comment, but it can quite easy to not feel very intelligent in a lot circumstances.
My apologies, I was under the impression that waste was an order of magnitude lower on modern designs, but I was unaware it's effectively eliminated.
> The Iran thing is dubious. If they did pull it off it required state level resources.

The Islamic Republic of Iran, by definition, has state level resources. In addition to their own resources, they have close ties with Russia and China. I agree with your ballpark of an order of magnitude higher complexity than messing with ILS, but that's well within Iran's capabilities.
The code itself and libraries being English is not a new concept.

Materials and knowledge about the language leads to more people potentially discovering it. I can far more easily persuade someone to use Rust, if I share the website with them in their native language.

Consider the reality that not every nation is advanced in English like Sweden or other European nations.

Anyway, the old site did have i18n, meaning that they did care about it. Not only did they care about i18n, they also had more niche languages, which is quite rare for an open source project. The alternative is basically saying "just learn English in order to read about Rust and why you may or may not want to use it". I find this unacceptable.

So it's very puzzling to me that the new website entirely ditched i18n–it's incongruous to what I perceive the quality of the rust team is capable of.
That doesn't sound like a review, it sounds like busy work
I think their solution works pretty well: the “hand” is both a plucker and basket. Plucking means minimal squeezing; it pulls and rotates to pluck, then rather than trying to grasp the produce (fruit (or berry in some minds)) it cradles it in a recessed basket which is like a 360 “palm”. Obvs they can adjust the basket size and shape for diff crop types.
That's how many extra calories one group ate than the other. It wasn't prescribed.

The article explains reasons why, like how the appetite-suppressing hormone was found in much different levels between the two groups.
I agree that nuclear isn’t technically the only option, but statements like “Can’t be built fast enough to make a difference” is also not true, particularly if you use historical examples YES in France.

We’re going to need deep decarbonization, and actually the most likely scenario is it will take decades, so there’s actually substantial time for nuclear to make a difference. It doesn’t HAVE to take a long time to build a nuclear power plant.

I’m firmly in the “every zero carbon option now, as fast as possible.” And nuclear is definitely part of that. I’ve become worried about the stalling solar power deployment rate in the US (and other places). It hasn’t stopped, but it no longer appears to be on the same exponential growth curve we needed it to be on. We’re going to need everything we can get.
I always wonder if hearing aid has military applications

One of the biggest advantages of German tanks in WWII, was the excellent communications system. It was engineered so that all members of the crew could clearly hear instructions in battlefield conditions.

Technology which can improve communication and perception and also protect hearing in battlefield conditions always has military applications.

Is it possible to have an above average hearing with this?

You can already buy consumer electronic hearing protection devices which can allow you to hear quieter sounds than otherwise, while protecting you from loud transients.
Human beings have an aversion to the fundamental truth of decision-making, which is "shut up and multiply".
