No, refresh rate directly affects latency. At a refresh rate of 60Hz (without gsync/freesync), with input arriving at arbitrary times, you have an average of half a frame (and a maximum of a whole frame) of unavoidable latency, above and beyond whatever other latency may exist.

If you have enough control over your devices, you can arrange for your input to arrive at just the right time to be included in each frame without extra latency, though.

The kind of latency you describe is that internal to the display; it could be called the video-signal-to-photon latency. The parent you're replying to is explaining the action-to-video-signal and compute-to-video-signal latency, and its effects on the action-to-photon latency.
Because Windows has been consistent with Alt+F4 (and Alt+F,X in traditional menu apps, and Alt+Space,C for old fogeys that still use the classic "command menu" even as its icon/click-region continues to disappear from title bars) for decades and "Exit" (or "Close") generally being the Windows command word of choice over "Quit", Ctrl+Q has never meant cohesively "Quit" on Windows as it does on other platforms. I know a lot of Windows applications that use Ctrl+Q for various things having nothing to do with quitting (and Windows-focused Vim users that use/suggest Ctrl+Q for `<Leader>` for similar reasons).
I feel like a useful comparison of shells would be good fodder. I always liked seeing different nix distros running unusual shells. It felt like a mirror of the nix desktop world with different features taking precedence.

Someone should create a VM or distro that picks a random shell for every new terminal window/tab.

I don't think so, because "Food deserts" are what happens when the demand for ideologically congenial explanations for socially inconvenient facts greatly exceeds the supply. There is an assumed causal directionality which turns out to not be supported.

Most places are food deserts not because market forces don't work there, but because they do: People in those areas do not want to buy fresh vegetables and raw ingredients for cooking. They prefer to buy packaged/processed foods, regardless of cost or health comparisons they are making, or not making. This makes traditional grocery stores less worth it, so they leave if they can't make do.

There's a lot of literature on food deserts (as typically stated) being more or less a meme since 2015, here's one example with a couple studies to back it:

https://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/09/upshot/giving-the-poor-ea...

> Another study, published this week as a working paper by the National Bureau of Economic Research, looked across the country and found that no more than a tenth of the variation in the food people bought could be explained by the availability of a nearby grocery store. The education level of the shoppers, for example, was far more predictive.

And so on. So no I don't think your idea would work particularly well past the novelty stage :(

There's a reason Godwin's law exists. Once you start comparing people and ideas to Nazis, you can't have a nuanced and intelligent conversation.
I don't see how this is a helpful way of looking at it. One engineer objects, and that gets handed to someone else while the manager prepares to fire said engineer. All engineers object, and the team gets disbanded with the project getting handed to someone else. It ultimately falls on all shoulders, especially leadership, and singling out engineers just because they make the commit is, I think, reductive and ignorant of the systemic forces driving people to part take in evil.

Not the OP, but one of the hardest parts of writing (at least initially) is simply knowing how to take the thoughts in your head and put them into words. This is a skill that just takes practice, and improvements to it are fairly obvious even without external feedback—you become much faster and your writing starts to sound better and flow more smoothly.

Source: Someone who struggled with writing and became better with practice. :)

Edit: I just want to point out that getting better at "writing" in the broadest sense is very different than getting better at specific kinds of writing, like academic or journalistic, where particular patterns are important and much more difficult to self-teach.
The problem is two-fold:

1. Xray scanning should be outlawed for public safety use in humans. You want to scan humans? You must use millimeter wave, and the cost is on you.

2. Governance. It's perfectly acceptable to use CT scanners for non-human surveillance (carry on bags, checked luggage, etc), but you must ensure life safety is enforced. If you don't, steep penalties up to and including jail time.

Call your reps, run for office, vote for people who care about this.
"I could understand the impulse people would have to not extend their lives if that's truly what they wanted, but the almost _cultural_ belief that seeking immortality is Bad and Wrong, something only pursued by cartoon villains and insane emperors ..."

I've spent some time thinking about this. Bear with me ...

First, let me agree with you that I am flabbergasted by the notion that one would have nothing but ill-use for another 40 or 80 or 200 years of life - I would certainly find good and productive use for it, provided I was in good physical and mental health.

However, I ask you to consider the most liberal and progressive figures of the 18th century. Pick any that you like (hint: they're all men). Now bring them forward to the present and they are impossibly reactionary and conservative. Their wives didn't wear pants, they would refuse to speak to a divorced woman in public (if such a woman was even present) and they probably believed that homosexuals had no place in society.

That's us 200 years from now. No matter how "woke" you are or how liberal or progressive you believe your attitudes to be: either civilization collapses, or you're hopelessly - even dangerously - conservative and reactionary 200 years from now.

To put it succinctly: progressive people, and their opinions, turn into reactionary conservatives with nothing but the passage of time.

So now consider if all of those "woke" 18th century (white males) were walking around with us today. How does that affect politics and civilization ? We don't need to do a thought experiment - it's right here in front of us: the "villians" in the housing/NIMBY/prop13 debate are basically anyone over the age of 50 who owns property. Those people aren't even a full generation away from us and we're trying to decide whether they're just sort-of evil or all-the-way evil.

So yes, there is a cultural resistance to people living (a lot) longer and if you can extrapolate political mores forward 50-100-150-200 years I think you can see how quickly that would get murderous - and I do mean that.

...

Looking deeper, I think the prohibition is more than a political one, as I've described above, but one of individual vs. group optimization. You are thinking of your personal self as the organism - and that makes sense because we aren't bees or ants. However, there are other units that can be thought of as an organism and there is, by definition, a conflict between optimizing for the individual vs. optimizing for the tribe/race/species.

Remember: we have a word for what happens when a single cell reserves resources and prolongs its own life at the expense of the larger organism: cancer.

The OP here is a co-founder of PIA, and IIRC he was behind a lot of the ProtonVPN and NordVPN controversy that is being cited in the link he provided. So basically, he's providing proof that he created a year ago.

The parent is talking about scanners including those luggage x-ray machines, which can slowly dose up and give cancer to their operators.
That.

I'd like to see a future of food delivery which is less food delivery, more time to spend at home, more cooking and healthy choices.

But of course, as an endeavor whose main end goal is money, the future of food delivery has to be "more, more, more".
I always was a little sketched out by Torguard... much like how Wikileaks piggybacked on Wikipedia, the fact they put "Tor" in their name despite not being affiliated with Tor squicked me out a bit.
Agree with sibling commenters that editors shouldn't be doing this themselves -- in my field, for instance, an editor is just the paid-in-prestige prof who agrees to look through articles submitted in a certain area, find referees for the paper, cajole the referees to review it at 6 months, cajole the referees again at one year, etc., and then make a decision based on the referee reports. (Clearly I'm not in CS as a 1.5-year turnaround is not so nuts in my field.)

Anyhow, I think Qworg has a point in that the editors do have responsibility for what they accept. It's true that referees do not have the resources to reproduce results: I for instance have limited time on the shared high-performance computing resources we have, so I'm not going to use it on someone else's paper. However, as another commenter says, this could be paid for. A journal could potentially "sell" this as a competitive advantage: papers in this journal were actually reproduced, by paid staff who are neither editors nor referees, people paid in currency that can be exchanged for goods (not academic currency).

Thanks for your feedback. I better understand your point.

Specifically about the term "tipping point" I used it in its general meaning. Beyond the legitimate criticisms on Gladwell's use of the concept in his book, it is known in behavioral science and more specifically in when we talk about behavioral contagion (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavioral_contagion) as the "inflection point" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflection_point) which is what I'm referring to as a "tipping point" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipping_point_(sociology)). But I agree that this could be confusing. I'll add this precision to my article.

For the rest of your remark: the point of this article is to make readers realize the importance of context on people's decision-making process. This is no pseudo-science as it is standard knowledge in social sciences, backed up with years of scientific studies and publications.

For sure, many scientific concepts have been reused (and altered) by personal development and pseudo-science movements. But this doesn't cancel the scientific validity of such concepts. How many times can we read about “quantum physic” in pseudo-science articles (i.e. https://elemental.medium.com/the-human-body-can-heal-in-asto...). Does it make quantum physic a pseudo-science? Fortunately, no. The difference here is that not only the concept is well-supported but also the method and technic used for its application.

Perhaps, my article is not well written, which I can concede (always learning and improving). Anyway, thanks for helping me improve it.

> Do you want to open map links in an offline maps app? Impossible on the iPhone.

Yes and no. The app launcher defaults to Maps. You can copy and paste addresses into any offline maps app.

> Do you want to develop apps for your own device without handing over card details? Also impossible.

Blatantly false. You can compile and sideload direct from Xcode to any iOS device without the need for a paid dev account. The paid dev account is only for putting your app on the App Store, or using Test Flight, etc.

> Do you want to install apps at all without telling Apple you installed them? Too bad.

I currently have a Nintendo DS and GameBoy Advance emulator on my unjailbroken phone. I installed direct from a website. I had to 'trust' the developer's certificate first.

I'm not sure which is worse, a shiny satellite that screams where it is (so you can avoid it) or a dark satellite that silently blocks a patch of the sky.
I think this point resonates. There are often a lot of commonalities between traits and having a breadth of understanding often affords more insight into a particular, but it will always be valuable to have a true mastery of a select few. at risk of alienating others in the conversation I'd like to make a point about a game called DotA. Extremely difficult with a high skill ceiling, the game pits teams of players against one another in asymmetrical battle with 126 characters, each with distinct abilities. There is a prevailing wisdom that the game is dauntingly unaccessible because, "to understand DotA you have to play a few games with every hero." On the other hand to play well you need to specialize on a particular hero and role. However every hero has a select group of counter-heroes, which have abilities that are particularly strong against a given. Therefore the best players in DotA have an understanding of all heroes, but they specialize in a small pool of 4 or 5. There are people who are very good at playing a single hero, but they can be completely shut-down with a counter. Maybe I'm just a little over-invested in a silly game, but I think it draws a powerful analogue to life.
I'll read about it and try to get some to give it a try (never heard of it before). Thanks!
It would vary depending on type of exercise. Giving my opinions based on being very interested in the subject for years, without bothering with citations.

For muscle-mass, the health benefits come from having higher glycogen storage (helping to prevent diabetes), as well as maintaining function late into life. The latter is subject to diminishing returns, and maintenance is more important than the amount when you peaked. Also, having too much muscle mass would put a strain on the heart.

Daily light movement is important for circulation. 10-12k steps seems to about ideal.

15-20 minutes of moderate-intensity (120-140 bpm) or 4 total minutes of high-intensity (> 160 bpm) cardio improves heart function, blood-flow, and mitochondrial density. Any more seems to be subject to diminishing returns.

Stretching around 10 minutes per day may help prevent cancer and preserve function.

This leads me to the following recommendations:

1-3 weekly strength training sessions of around 45 minutes

10-12k daily steps

2-4 weekly cardio sessions of around 15 minutes

10 minutes daily stretching

Just picked up a book called "The Second Mountain" by David Brooks. It's a shot in the dark but may actually help with the struggling you are having with your next opportunity. I'm 13 years in my job (same company!) and feel exactly the same as you. I feel like it's time for my next "trick" so hoping to find it soon.
Yet the image provided is the most radical representation I have seen of the "flying wing". This is two fuselages in V by initial look. I would still think that you could simply provide a screen for the interior passengers to have a view out, from the opposite side of the aircraft. People have done just fine in the center rows of jumbos so I am not sure that the negative impact is high as imagined.

The thought experiment to play with is, swap out windows for computer displays, still with the air gap seen on some planes, but not for all windows and see what transpires.
A fair thing to wonder, but then you might also not know the actual original is just ""Jack of all trades" without the "master of none", part, which got added much later and completely changed whatever the original meaning was.
JWST is for researching high-redshift object - the most distant things we can see in the universe. It's not a planet-hunter. And it will be much further away than other satellites, so they would be more easily serviced. (Not that it's easy, I just think you picked a bad example.)

It definitely has its drawbacks. There's no enduring satisfaction to specialized positions, likewise jumping between various interests is untenable from a career standpoint. Still, we can indulge in novelty in our own time, or even break the rules at times. The setback I most identify for myself is that it keeps me from investing in "mastering" a domain. The idea itself is attractive, but maybe there's nothing to it except bragging rights. As long as you're always studying something, you're effectively doing the same thing as "mastering".
I am currently a bit unhappy with html rendering on the terminal as well, but for another reason: Links

>What if I told you that a lot of these "VPN providers" were shell companies built to explicitly facilitate access and tools for crime / espionage with the premise of having users there as cover.

Interesting. I mean, Tor was was originally developed by the Navy as an OSINT tool, and later released because an "anonymity" network only used by the Navy isn't very useful.

More and more often non-state actors are doing what used to be in the purview of intelligence services, so it passes the sniff test.

But without specific evidence all I'll say is "plausible, but unconfirmed" :)
> Remember the ‘10,000 Hours’ Rule for Success?

No, I do not. Because there never was such a thing. What there was/is a rule of thumb to say it takes 10,000 hours to be "expertly proficient" at something - which is not to be confused with being successful.

In other words, putting in 10k hours does not mean you'll play in the Premier League or star in a Hollywood film. It simple means that if you ever hope to do either you'll have to put in at least 10,000 hours.

The media wonders why some of us are so critical of them. Yet they constantly fail to do their job properly. It's a miracle more of us aren't more critical of their monkey see monkey do approach to publishing.
