This is a contribution to Coreboot, which is an alternative to UEFI/BIOS.

As much as I dislike US government agencies in general, I think this time they have good motive to provide good code. Undermining this code would also undermine the systems of other government agencies.

In this case, I trust the NSA more than random contributors on the internet that have less known motives and may in many cases be agents of foreign spy agencies.
I think you've been here long enough to know that a phrase like "automatically and without exception" is likely a poor interpretation of what the parent poster meant with "standard household activity".

I'm damned if I do, damned if I don't. It doesn't matter how I phrase it, people will have a problem with my real point and will have a problem with me giving first-hand testimony from my life.

So I tried to avoid that. It didn't help.

I slept in a tent for nearly six years. I'm back in housing, but I still don't live conventionally. I'm in a hundred year old building with no AC. But I have no upholstered furniture, no mattress, a minimum of bedding.

When other residents are desperately trying to create a cross breeze to cool off their too hot room in summer, I'm usually fine. With no cardboard and no upholstered furniture, my room is not too hot.

So I tried to use specifics from the article itself, like the composting toilet. Toilets are one of the ways modern families go through a lot of water each and every day.

I know my lifestyle generates less heat and humidity in my home compared to other people in the same building as me. I also know most people act like my first-hand experience doesn't count.

I'm routinely downvoted for making such observations, no matter how I try to phrase it. I'm routinely told I'm making stuff up, that's anecdotal, it doesn't count, I need a study or something.

I've seen men here on the leader board give similar personal anecdotes and get treated like they're brilliant. Tokenadult used to tell stories of opening the shades on his windows when he was a young man living in China to use solar power to heat his room and giggling about management accusing him hiding a forbidden heater.

But my first-hand observations are not similarly respected and oohed and aahed over for their insight. Instead, I'm routinely attacked and dismissed.

After a decade, I'm pretty damn sure it isn't my phrasing. It's my gender and general lack of credibility for reasons wholly unrelated to my intelligence, veracity, etc.

It's open contempt for me as a person. And I'm quite fed up with it and even more fed up with being told it's somehow my fault that I'm subjected to this double standard.

Sometimes dangerous situations are averted by pilots realising the controller had made an error, like clearing a plane to cross a runway while another is taking off [0]

This kind of thing might be much harder to catch if clearances are given in text, or even impossible if they are routed only to the specific aircraft.

About the Word “Book” in Openbook
I agree. The main reason for over-population is the lack of enough wealth (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_and_fertility) and I think this is important for the ongoing inheritance of poverty.

1. The systemic issue is that there is no one on earth who stops powerful companies and individuals from the reckless exploitation of the poor (and those who really think they aren't poor). No police, no government etc. seems to take care of this issue. Instead the majority of them is just a step-stone on the way for rich entities to gain much more power and wealth.

2. Of course it wouldn't be that obvious as an imbalance. It's a problem of distribution of wealth and the most important thing here is the ratio:
- How many poor vs. how many (super) rich?
- How much is the difference of their wealth and what consequences occur in their lives because of that?

As long as children starve because they don't have food in my opinion it's perverted and ugly that people have money they don't even know what to spend on. From the view of "overall fairness" it's so unfair that it's unbearable to keep that thought in your mind for a longer period if you have moral integrity (most humans have that in some way).

3. Government Programs huh? They aren't designed to be efficiently and they aren't backed by science. That's the case on most places on earth.
Govt's seem to be controlled or at least influenced in many dimensions by "big money". When you look around the world, especially at democracies who demand to be democratic (wow!) you'll see the more wealth entities have, the more they can influence any political decision. I don't know how to break this devil's circle but if it doesn't happen I see a lot of (innocent) blood in the near future.

There has been discussions about the change of systems, governments and society for so long but the development is not happening in the way some big minds and honest people have hoped for.

E.g. everything that can be tagged with "social reforms" will be drowned in pseudo-arguments:
* social = socialist = communist (even today you evoke fear with that in most US citizens and also parts of EU)
* social = non-productive (no goods to sell); Too many have this micro-economic view and disregard the macro-economic effects
* social = expensive when done in a proper way;

I could go on with this but it tires and saddens me to even think about it. I had to watch this the most of my life and while the elders had enough to live when I grew up today I see them scavenging in the city. It just get's worse and while this political way doesn't seem to work I think some day we'll reach a critical mass of hungry and angry people who will just take what they deserve.
>I'm someone who tends to finish books in 1-2 sittings; I never really understood folks like my mom who'll read for 15 minutes a day and nurse a book for months.)

I hope it isn't pointless self help book. I used to be exactly like that until I realized how pointless they are.

It sounds like the removal of the vial was done on-site for somewhat reasonable reasons, but in the future they ought to have a temporary structure erected during removal so that if something happens, the dust doesn't get blown and tracked everywhere. Doing this in a shipping container would have avoided all of these problems and most of the exposure to people as well.
French film "Le pacte des loups" is inspired by this story
https://quotes4day.com/birthday-wishes-for-sister-quotes/
About The Wandering Earth, I didn't watch the film except the trailer, but many years ago one of my classmate in school read the book, so I still vaguely remember the story.

In my memory, it's an epic, big, huge and vast story, and Cool. But it's just that, cool and empty. The story itself I think is targeting high schoolers, so the storyline does not run very deep and logical. And it's very hard to build an inspiring story on such shallow background.

I'm expecting this movie at the same level with something like The Avengers: A fine movie, but in the end, nothing new. No new thinking, no enlightenment, you'll probably learn nothing from it if you're already a Scifi fan. Good for time killing, not a good for sink yourself in.

However, Scifi in China is really a dead desert, the level of success Liu has reached as a Chinese scifi author could inspire other authors to create better stories in the future. Maybe himself could write some better stories when he's world view got deeper[0].

>I'm available for it.

What is your keybase?
Yes, true. I didn't remember that. Thank you.

But even if you don't remember that, I can't fathom anyone seeing his origin story as somehow pro military. It's quite critical of the military.

He continues to have nightmares about what was done to him. This is why he stabs Rogue, who really should have died from it and only didn't because she is able to "borrow" his powers to heal herself. She was trying to wake him up from a nightmare.

And his ongoing hatred of the military and the people who did that to him shows up as plot points in various stories. So it isn't simply his backstory I the past. This is part of the ongoing storyline.

So how anyone can say "He was in the military once -- check his origin story" as evidence that his story is highly pro military is beyond me.
That doesn't follow, because making the human supervise the computer as it takes over rather than actively participating increases the risk of them getting bored and losing attention.
For context: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goi%C3%A2nia_accident

> The Goiânia accident [ɡojˈjɐniɐ] was a radioactive contamination accident that occurred on September 13, 1987, in Goiânia, in the Brazilian state of Goiás, after a forgotten radiotherapy source was taken from an abandoned hospital site in the city. It was subsequently handled by many people, resulting in four deaths. About 112,000 people were examined for radioactive contamination and 249 were found to have significant levels of radioactive material in or on their bodies.

> In the cleanup operation, topsoil had to be removed from several sites, and several hundred houses were demolished. All the objects from within those houses, including personal possessions, were seized and incinerated. Time magazine has identified the accident as one of the world's "worst nuclear disasters" and the International Atomic Energy Agency called it "one of the world's worst radiological incidents".
Yes, when it comes to icons, pictures, non-trivial logos etc. the "pixel" style has always been the most effective way of coming up with something that will look appealing even with minimal effort. Even on modern screens, a properly-upscaled, pixel-based icon usually looks a lot better than the symbolic, vector-based look you most often see today, while taking a lot less time and effort to create. You can see this very well on other user interfaces from the 1980s and 1990s too, it's not exclusive to the Mac.

(And there's a sensible reason for this, too - the "pixel art" style is unique in letting you set a uniform ceiling on high-spatial-frequency content and subtle color changes within a picture, while preserving unbounded choice within these constraints.)
Get this since you don't need display support.

Didn't downvote, but your argument is somewhat naive. Now a Chinese person could argue you Americans didn't invent paper but they did, so whenever you designed something on paper it was actually made possible by them. Or how after ww2 some of the brightest scientists from Germany were "taken" by the US and in exchange not persecuted for their involvement with the nazi party. These kinds of arguments just derail the conversation. Everybody is standing on the shoulder of giants in some way.
Births in hospitals have, on average, more complications than births at home. But not because births at home are inherently better, but rather because protentially complicated births are done at hospitals do be able to better care for mother and child.

People use Teslas cruise control in inherently safer situations. A proper comparison would compare identical road s - and would be done by a neutral body not involved with Tesla.

AWS Lambda: how to detect and stop infinite recursions

Just read "the Book of the New Sun" in its entirety and I can't understand the appeal people find in it.

The author really enjoys telling stories, and is very bad at telling a story. The world is glorious, and he does nothing with it. The protagonist is a nymphomaniac borderline[1] rapist who goes on long monologues about women as nothing more than objects (and many more monologues that are rarely insightful). The protagonist never changes, the story jumps from a chance encounter to a deus ex machina and back through random events of no consequence.

But, as with literature, its very subjective, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[1] Yeah, not even borderline. "Oh, look at this beautiful woman sleeping. I couldn't help but start sex with her".
New Website Claims Best Mountains for Climbing Are in Southeast Asia
Summits.com is a new venture that claims that Southeast Asia, despite having almost no mountains with snow caps, or which stretch over 5,000 metres high, is actually even more of a paradise for mountaineers than the Himalayas, Andes, or Alps.
(Almost) everything mountaineering has to offer is here in Southeast Asia

Some of the mountains of Southeast Asia can offer you everything taller and snow-capped mountains can and more, or so claims Pete Silvester, the interim CEO of Summits.com, adding “except having to dress like a polar explorer, risk life and limb, or take weeks off work.”

“As a naturalist I prefer more life and diversity than what is offered on icy peaks.” says Silvester, “On mountains like Kinabalu in Malaysia, Apo in the Philippines, or Kerinci in Sumatra, you usually get to start your climb amidst pristine rainforests, then climb through misty cloud-forests and grasslands, and up onto surreal rocky and volcanic peaks. You would be hard pressed to find that sort of variety up mountain anywhere else in the world. And the views from the summit of a tall tropical volcano, when the jungle, farmlands, sea, or cities you came from below is lit up by a tropical sunset or sunrise, is just unbeatable.”

What can you expect from Summits.com in the future?
So far, Summits.com provides information on how to climb 25 of the top mountains across the region, and they’re hoping to add more mountains “which you wouldn’t have even known were there and so great to climb.” Also in the works is a set of tips on how best to get up mountains in the unique environment of Southeast Asia, particularly for newbies, women, and runners.

Summits.com was the brainchild of two climbers who felt that the only mountain in Southeast Asia with really great information online is Mount Kinabalu, which meant that the many other incredible mountains in Southeast Asia aren’t being enjoyed.

> I think the main reason why the US doesn't perceive Mongolia or Kazakhstan as being a strategic threat, is their small population

It has nothing to do with the population itself. Back in the 80s, when China had >1 billion population at the time, US didn't consider China as a strategic threat, it even offered to sell China all kinds of techs & military hardware. It all happened when China was far less open to the world and far more focused on its communist ideology stuff.
Facebook's plan to break the global financial system
Not always.

The computer focuses better, but isn’t yet as capable. When things get dicey and the computer abruptly hands control back to a zoned-out human, they won’t have the same situational awareness as if they had been driving all along. OTOH, driving also tires humans out, which leads to errors and accidents too.

Figuring out the right balance is non-trivial.
I'm not familiar wth it and I'm not finding anything in English about it. Perhaps you could give a brief summary?

> I think I'd enjoy hearing your argument that F1 racing is the most demanding mental endeavor a human can participate in.

The argument is not mine, not at all, but rather that of many medical professionals including sports psychologists. The level of concentration required to pilot an F1 car or really any topline completion car at the limit of adhesion is Total--there is zero room for a concentration lapse. If your mind wanders even on the straights--you're probably taking an ambulance ride.

Race cars are not like street cars At all; they want to spin out--pretty much all the time. If you picture the brakes locking up as you're about to brake late; They Will every time. Part of the trick is to acknowledge what is likely to go wrong BUT Do NOT imagine it happening, that shit takes iron concentration.
This seems to be quite a dense paper, I’ve just scrolled through thid study of Iranian children, although the sample size of 30 seems quite low.

However since I’m learning statistics this is the first time I’ve noticed the use of the Kolmgorov-Smirnov test in the wild, so I’ll be trying to go through it in more detail to see how K-S is used from a different angle.
I can completely relate to this.

I feel like the extent of my problem solving and social skills has slowly been hemmed in by my hyper-focused work. Year by year I've started struggling to adapt to new situations. If I run into a challenge outside of work that is even mildly complex I have a hard time figuring out where to start. That has definitely made me think differently about my career and I'm starting to come to terms with the idea that success in a really narrow niche has some unexpected consequences.
I think they probably did get really big. There are some cases of dead sperm whales washing up that have appeared to be attacked by giant squid. Coupled with the fact that the oceans used to be teeming with life before commercial fishing I would imagine perfect availability would definitely get you some big squid.

This paper talks about fishery populations during WW2 when it was to dangerous to fish. So if you think about how many fish would be available, I imagine that you could have many giant ones roaming around.

If Libra can give people an option of a stable currency and chance against bad central bank (Zimbabwe, Venezuela etc) than may be it's not that bad of a thing. It's backed by basket of currencies and over a long period will face inflationary and bad monetary issues but it will still be a leg up over many many currencies.

Author has not lived into high inflation market or lack awareness of people who suffer under these everyday. If Libra can free a multitude from this menace, we should support it indeed.
I agree. In order to optimize efficiency, changing priorities (ie. interrupting work) should be avoided unless absolutely necessary.

A five minute task equates to: context switching, creating a branch in JIRA, checking out the branch, complete this small task with a few lines of code, debug and run tests, create the PR.. It is awfully distracting and I often lose focus on what I was previously working on. Great, I think I'll take a little break or go for lunch a bit early.

(Something I always found interesting about this, is Bill Atkinson's suggestion that some of the window related UI was already in place before the PARC visit. Having a look at the polaroids in question, seeing Smalltalk may have been even a distraction, at least in terms of the design language.)
>...they do not provide as much benefits as coding (learning and reputation wise).

I think that's because code reviews have changed from being helpful form of preventing you from stubbing yourself on your toe to, "Why would you do this...? No0b..." kind of format.

If code reviews were weighted as equally beneficial to the code and as being approached as being beneficial to the growth of the developer making the change, then I could see it having much more benefit in learning; however, that would take a dynamic change in the general culture.

...but saying that code reviews don't provide as much learning benefit is to just infer that there's nothing that can be done about that when, in fact, there is. :)

Right, gfortran does not special-case length-1 strings.

The actual problem however is that it still works in simple cases --- when the Fortran code doesn't access the string length (and apparently, doesn't do tail-calls) --- even when the extra integer length arguments are omitted from the call. Because of this it was possible for the mistake to spread widely...
