It's actually kind of interesting how people who possess empathy can be very dismissive of those with "image" issues. I don't find it that hard to understand people who have body image problems, but then again, I've had all sorts of body issues all my life so I can relate. Still, I would hope that people could use reason to place themselves in the shoes of others, but apparently that's really difficult for them.

I don't think people understand how much one's image affects how others treat them until they've experienced something like baldness, obesity, vitiligo, acne, eczema, psoriasis, asymmetry, etc. While I've never been treated poorly by virtue of being bald, there's a world of difference between having hair and being bald. People are more amenable to me in my baldness and beardness, but strangers were also more friendly to me when I had hair on the top of my head. I used to be overweight and constantly got disrespected, and once I lost all that weight, I was really shocked at how much more friendliness and respect I got merely for being thin.

Everyone is visually driven and judges the character of others based on their innate appearances, and that's just the way things are. We tell each other the noble lie that you can compensate for ugliness by having good character, and maybe you can to some extent, but the odds really aren't in your favor. I encourage everyone to question whether they unfairly judge others based on things that say nothing about a person's character or competence. In my experience, the average person really isn't aware of just how much their vision guides their judgment of others.

For those who haven't experienced baldness, becoming bald can actually be disorienting. I lost a lot of my hair in a few short years, and it took me a very long time to look in the mirror and fully recognize myself. Hair is actually a major way in which we are able to identify other people, which there's a good chance that you can look at the following image and know who the hair belongs to:

I did get used to my bald self after a while, but it can be very depressing to no longer see "yourself" because your body is deteriorating. And because strangers treat bald people differently, the problem can seem even worse than it actually is.

Although I'm fine being totally bald, I can completely understand why people would want their hair back. I would want more hair just so I could have a mohawk at least one time in my life, just for fun. ;)

He didn't challenge anyone. If you express your opinion "Emacs is without a doubt the best editor" in some other context related to Emacs then you aren't challenging anyone. You are simply expressing an opinion. Opinions don't have to be challenged. I read hundreds of opinions every day and guess what: some of them I don't agree with. That doesn't mean they are declarations of war or anything of the sort. It also doesn't mean I have to fight that opinion.

While i'm not vbsteven, I can probably give a useful answer to your question.

As a KDE user, QML is about as useful to me as GTK+ when it comes to feeling native, so bindings built around those APIs are out.

rust-qt-binding-generator (the one maintained by KDE people) is fundamentally designed around the assumption that you're comfortable writing parts of your program in C++. (It's designed for embedding Rust pieces in a project with its own build automation, like CMake, and where hand-written C++ will still be used for part of the process of talking to Qt.)

rust-qt comes the closest to what I want (something where, as long as I don't touch the `unsafe` keyword and I only pick trustworthy dependencies, I can't accidentally introduce memory-unsafety into my project.) but "Creating custom signals from Rust code." is still on the TODO list and its development seems to have run out of steam.

So far, my solution has been to use Rust to write a cleanly encapsulated backend, use rust-cpython to expose it to Python, and then use PyQt5 (because I haven't started a new Qt project since PySide2 matured) to build a frontend, producing a QML-esque development experience for the QWidget APIs... though I'd still much rather have strong compile-time checks for the entire project.

Jan Vitek – Getting everything wrong without doing anything right
Wow, this is really encouraging. I was debating whether to use Rust or Kotlin for developing a new programming language, and after reading your comment, I'm leaning a little bit closer to Rust. I had previously broken down the pros for Kotlin to 6 points:

1. You get access to all of the JVM libraries.

2. You don't have to work within the confines of the borrow checker.

3. Kotlin “Common” targets 3 platforms: LLVM, JVM, and JS (whereas, Rust only targets LLVM).

4. Kotlin is probably a more terse language, and suitable for doing algorithm / problem-solving interviews, and therefore a good one to be fluent in.

5. Kotlin's greater industry traction means that it might be more useful professionally. Outside of Android, I've also heard of servers/back-ends being written in Kotlin.

6. ANTLR is well-documented, compared to LALRPOP (the best existing Rust parser generator), and ANTLR targets/generates code for several mainstream languages (versus only Rust with LALRPOP). ANTLR is also probably a more useful skill to have for future jobs/projects.

But despite of all the pluses of using Kotlin, I'm still leaning a bit closer to Rust, because of all the good things I'm hearing about it.
Balding guy here. I never considered it to be a big deal. I don't think women tend to care very much. They care a lot more if I'm in shape and have a good career, not so much if my hair is receding.

All of the previous methods for dealing with male baldness also focus on inhibiting testosterone, and as such the typical side effects can include "lowered sex drive & breast growth." I'd much rather just be bald.

Oddly, this monospace version has a different style 'a', instead of the 'hand-written' original, which is unfortunate. I understood that one of the benefits of the original comic sans was that each letter was designed exactly as kids learn to write (e.g. no strange flourishes on the bottom of 'g' or the top of 'a'), making its legibility popular in classrooms.
Reading the actual memo in the Tweet, it says that US Companies contracted by the UK were provided access to the data.

So, as a made up example, [Massive US-based multinational consulting firm - IBM was listed in the euobserver article)] was contracted to do work for the UK government in this specific area and was provided access to the data (probably after being cleared to do so via a lengthy process that is typical for contracting with governments).

Do we have any indication that this data was "copied to the US" in this memo, instead of being worked with in accordance with data security policies to keep it in the EU / UK?

That said - if the UK is making illegal copies that's bad, but I wouldn't overreact to the submission title which is not correct.
Uh, thanks! I totally forgot about gumroad!

The other thing about hair that people don’t realize is that it protects the scalp from injury.

I’m completely bald and I’ve smacked my head a few times, not that hard and ended up with a pretty big gash.

If you have hair it acts like a lubricant - things can slide off. When it’s just skin it’s easy to catch it and tear the skin.

Crimea and Kuban were removed from Ukraine after soviet occupation, then "gifted" back in exchange for other territories of Ukraine of same size. However, Ukrainians, Tatars, and Greeks were exterminated first, to free space for Russian colonists.
and yes.. I agree with nearly everything you said in your post mikekchar.

The one thing I would keep in mind is elevating a person's opinion because: "recognized security expert".

Their comments should be taken at face value and not given any extra special value because of "who they come from".

I purposely leave my background, education and employment out of my comments for that reason. I would not want my opinions to be judged more highly because of where I work.

Just because he doesn't care doesn't make them any less of an issue.

On that note Matrix also offers a similar method with the phone number (it's optional to use a phone number) and if you do use it, the identity server can link you with other people that use it. https://matrix.org/docs/projects/other/sydent (that's also optional, you can run a matrix server without it).

Ideally the best usage would be to have two accounts, an account with your phone number you use with people that know you, (family, work etc) and one you use for random people on the internet that does not.

Signal laid a lot of the ground work with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Ratchet_Algorithm hopefully now Matrix can take it to the next level (next generation), like email.

Unity Plus costs $35/mo for 50 concurrent users, and UNET was a fumble. Grid (https://www.planimeter.org/grid-sdk/) is free, and was built multiplayer-first.

The last time I checked, I couldn't build a project OOTB and in 5 minutes have a multiplayer game to mod and hack on. That's been a feature I've provided for years.

I think the appeal of PBR workflows for 3D games is what Unity and Unreal capitalize on, but for 2D hobbyists, there are much better solutions with far less overhead, and fewer expenses.

Nice echo chamber developing here. I couldn't care less about how and why other people travel, but for myself, it has shapen my personality (for the better) more than any other experience or activity in my life (and there are quite some, like weight lifting and climbing). It made me a better person on many levels. Is this selfish pursuit? Obviously, what in life isn't?

But there are many forms of travel. For me, it is and forever will be only backpacking-ish style. Done for example 6 months in India in very remote places. When you come back from such a visit, you are not really the same person inside that left. Or at least I can't imagine not being changed by all the positive and also negative things experienced. 1 week feels like 3 there, 1 month more like 5 years, and after 3 the idea of my life back was just a distant memory of a dream I once had. You can't tell properly others about those 1000s of small and big adventures, they wouldn't understand most of the appeal. Only those with similar experiences would. Photos or videos, even done with full frame equipment, tell only small part of the story.

And these instagrammers/'influencers' (that's a too pretty name for what it usually is, if they travel around like that they are rather 'influenced') ? Well they are for people with sheepish mentality. I would have to have utterly bland life to be interested in some John Doe's life, where he made this or that selfie and consistently follow them. I guess I am too old and experienced for Instagram bandwagon. With all the travel photo I do, I would anyway end up as one of those 'influencers' (at least that's what people tell me when they see my photos and the amount I create)

Your stress is the result of responsibilities or the feeling of responsibilities you can't control.

First step is to figure pout what you feel you are responsible for but are not. You can quit that part immediately because that responsibility only exists in your head.

Then there are responsibilities you have, but can't control.

Then there are multiple options. For example:

Stop having that responsibility. For example tell that you can't take it anymore (not always possible).

Ask for help so you can fullfil the responsibility with someone (not always possible).

Take responsibility. Change your life if your way of living is holding you back from taking responsibility (not always possible).

It helped me a lot to think about it because there are a lot of responsibilities in your head that don't exist.
A demanding company with an unrealistic and unreasonable planning is not your responsibility. Your well being is.
It boils down to accumulating "experiences" (or selfies) instead of things, but it's really the same. I mean, do you think these people are going to these places, taking only memories, and then cherishing the memories on their own? No, they flaunt it just as someone flaunts a supercar. It's intangible materialism, as silly as that sounds.

If you really want to experience something, don't take any pictures. Just be there. After a while you might not have vivid memories of everything you saw, but you'll still be able to recall the feeling of being there. Talk to other people about it face to face, describe what you felt and what it was like to be there.

I have no photos of a trip my family took to some lake house in Indiana when it was young. I couldn't tell you what the place looked like, but I can still feel the calm and relaxation of being there decades later.

I have no photos of a waterfall I visited with my wife in Grand Teton National Park, but I can still feel the cool air and the mist in the air. Couldn't tell you what it looked like, but I have what matters. And I didn't have to show it to anyone.
They are just saying the title should not contain the word "all". The linked tweet doesn't contain it either.
The idea of trusting any institution whose naked reason for existing is making money is absurd. Neither employees nor customers should expect anything from businesses but a concerted, rational, attempt to separate them from whatever value they might be capable of giving up and as cheaply as possible.

Its crazy that these institutions, which are fully rational in their pursuit of profit, want to gussy up their relationship with customers and employees as "personal" when it manifestly isn't. They see you as an entry in a spreadsheet but they want you to see them as a warm friend.

Can someone explain this in a slightly less dumbed-down way. Having trouble following all the wooly explanations.

So far I get that we have a function that maps from a string of bits to a single bit. The sensitivity of each input bit is the likelihood that it affects the output, summed across all possible inputs.

What is the conjecture?
The Dutch version of this database supposedly only keeps data of people associated with serious crimes. It has 1.3 million people (all of the Netherlands has about 17 million). These supposed restrictions are just a ruse.

The Great Hack of Weaponizing Data
Nah. Computing sensitivity has always been easy enough, flip bits and watch output. This is about how to do it in a generalized way that fits in with related work in the field.
There are no phenomena that are only perceptible through internal experience. (A term that you've basically introduced in a True Scotsman fashion.)

Consider a radio antenna. A radio operates by responding to electrons sloshing around in a wire. The radio can 'experience external reality' iff that sloshing behaves analogously to something 'external': another antenna. This kind of analogy is what observation is, and it basically defines what an experience is. (Though in general, it doesn't need to be external: you can easily observe internal state or have a feedback loop.) Two antenna can be said to pick up the same signal only if their responses strongly correlate.

A brain doesn't work any differently, it's just a far more complex antenna that integrates more complex signals from more diverse sources. The only thing you have to do is establish a strong enough correlation (depending on the accuracy you care to assert) and to do that, you need to pick a number of aspects of the system, measure them, and ensure they correlate sufficiently nicely.

Again, this has nothing to do with the brain per se: all scientific measurements operate on the same idea. A large enough number of correlated observations is sufficient to establish whether two phenomena are the same. Humans are so good at doing this implicitly that we don't even question if other people have emotions, thoughts, ideas, or experiences that differ significantly from our own. In fact, human development involves a great deal of social mimikry and exploration which serve to constrain people's behavior to those things which communicate shared experiences particularly strongly. (Conversely, human behavior is not so unpredictable that we can't build an understand of it.)

I suspect that bald(ing) individuals wouldn't have nearly such a problem if it wasn't used to judge them, yet I hear more criticism of bald(ing) people for worrying about it than I hear of the people who criticize and judge over hair loss.

That depends on your requirements.

As I mentioned in another comment, I value my GUIs feeling native on my KDE desktop (and not having to reinvent things like QSettings and, last time I tried with GTK+ 2.x, drag-and-drop multi-select for list views) strongly enough that I start with PyQt and then add rust-cpython and Rust if enough of the application can be cleanly encapsulated away from the GUI code to justify the added build-time complexity.
Why doesn't baroque seem as repetitive? To me, it seems closer to the modern music format than classical is, despite it being older than classical.
I'd like to make a case for modern hair pieces / hair prosthesis (colloquially known in the black community as man-weaves), which have seen huge improvements in function and aesthetics over the past couple of decades. Combined with a skilled stylist, the results are jaw-dropping.

Key travel isn't the single cause for RSI. I don't have RSI pain with a mechanical keyboard with huge key travel for an example.

For me, key travel isn't the issue, it's the bottoming out impact. A lot of people are hitting the bottom really hard, which actually increase the chances of RSI.

My mechanical keyboard also has a soft bottom out so that I don't actually have to hit anything, just gentle tap and it's all good. I can't actually learn to tap gentle with low key travel like Apple's keyboards. Strangely, I don't seem to have the same issue on the iPad's smart keyboard.

Apple keyboards are the worst for me with RSI, it hits bottom hard and it's too thin.

The Twitter redesign (last week or so?) has been wonderful for me: it keeps your place in navigation, allowing you to look at a tweet thread and go back to the place you were before.

Previously on Twitter, after any navigation you'd lose your place, having to scroll (and reload all the previously-seen content) very far if you were down far.
The title is also misleading in that it claims (unlike the linked tweet) that all EU citizens are impacted. In reality many EU citizens never had their fingerprints taken.
