A lot of times they do this to isolate voters in one district. You make 1-2 compact districts like GA-5, that contains a large number of Democratic voters (and black people), like 90% margin. Then you surround it with gerrymandered districts and make them nearly but not quite competitive, like 55% Republican white suburban. Thus the same population of Republicans can have 4 or 5 districts while the Democrats get 1 or 2.

"It is a tool for exercising discipline, so that you know when you have to say "sorry, not enough data for a meaningful answer"."

As opposed to the frequentist approach of saying, "We have data D and hypothesis H. If the probability of D when not-H is true is below a threshold, H is true," which hides an awful lot of assumptions.

The advantage of Baysian statistics is that you have to explicitly state your assumptions in terms of a prior.
I have hemophilia, a genetically inherited X-chromosome linked disorder, inherited from the mother. Due to the fact males have an XY chromosome and mothers have two X’s, with one of the X’s containing the faulty gene, it’s possible for a mother to have children with and without the disease. In fact, there is a 50% chance each of her males will have the disorder.

Why am I telling you this? Because there is a test that can tell if the fetus has hemophilia or not by sampling blood via amniocentesis. When my mom was pregnant with my brother, she had this procedure done.

However, there were complications during pregnancy and my brother, although he was in fact born without hemophilia, has severe birth defects in his lower extremities. It was later found to be directly caused by the test itself.

Just goes to show what happens when you try to play god.
I used to be a big fan of a similar tool https://www.sococo.com/ . However it seems to have stopped getting much love in recent years. Seems like Tandem is cheaper and has some nice extra features - so looking forward to trying it out!

iTerm2 is incredible. I recently tried alacritty, though, and was amazed by how much faster it is with screen redraws on my 2014 Macbook Pro. I was shocked the first time I used mouse scrolling in vim through Alacritty and found that it was as snappy as in a native app; it never occurred to me that, even for a small pane, the bottleneck was in the emulator. I had to reimplement some of my favorite shortcuts for tab/pane management in tmux, but overall everything is running lightning fast thanks to alacritty's optimized, GPU-accelerated rendering. Alacritty also uses a dirt-simply YAML file for config (which I prefer to a GUI solution) and is cross-platform (which means I'll be able to install this same setup, with tweaked shortcuts, on my Windows box next time I use it).

The new iTerm features sound really awesome, but the one thing I'm already missing badly is inline image-rendering via escape codes. I had a great workflow set up on for viewing astrophysical data products on a remote analysis server using the itermplot matplotlib backend to render plots directly in my terminal from ipython. I'm still planning on firing up iTerm2 for that use case.

All that said, iTerm2 is the best terminal emulator I've ever used, especially when you're first learning things. I probably wouldn't have been able to switch to tmux as easily if I hadn't already used it a bunch through iTerm2's beautiful tmux integration (I'd already configured some tmux functionality for that use case). The aforementioned image-rendering should be a universal feature for terminals. And though the input and redraw lag are higher than Alacritty or Terminal.app, it's always been fast enough. I still recommend it to people with Macs who are just starting to program.

That said, if you're a speed addict and want something with limited but easily-configurable features, give Alacritty a try!

[edit] I should also mention that, if you're willing to put in more effort, you can implement a ton of iTerm2's visual bonuses (like the status bar and pretty icons) with a combination of a Nerd font [0] (particularly a pretty modern one like Iosevka [1]) and an advanced tmux configuration [2].

Thank you! Just what I was wishing for.

Now I wonder if I could make Sublime Text / VS Code style command palette within iTerm... Probably requires Python shell script as front. I didn’t yet find mention of custom dialogs or the like in the API docs.
I currently use this at work (DoD entity) as our full packet capture solution. Love it and am super happy with the features it has. Interestingly, it's an AOL product (or was? Last I checked). Wasn't aware those guys still do stuff.

Okay, so human beings would be negatively impacted (to some degree).

But how would you assess impact on the climate crisis (per se)?
The text is shifted. Min starts before its column. 4.5 is the sd.
I only question it because of the risk of attributing these changes towards predispositions to specific gender stereotypes. I'm not trying to place scrutiny on the subject because I unilaterally disbelieve trans people, but rather I believe these claims are dangerous. They can give trans people misconceptions on what medically transitioning will do for them, present medical transition as a method to become a "real" trans person, or give ammunition to opponents who use the hormone topic to dismiss women as a whole.

I do understand that these things are different for everyone and it's basically impossible to prove, but you can understand my skepticism. I definitely experienced some of the emotional elements you mention, but they aren't new to me. I don't cry or get upset now where I wouldn't have before. It does feel different though. I do not think this is the same as some of the behavioral changes that the parent is describing. My behavior hasn't changed. I'm still just as much of a nice/mean/thoughtful/forgetful/etc person that I was before. I had ADD before, I have ADD now. My political views haven't changed, I don't treat my friends differently, my hobbies haven't changed. I can't think of anything special about autism that would allow for those symptoms to change because of HRT.
There are also other features. For instance, measuring the anogenital distance in neonatal humans has been suggested as a noninvasive method to determine male feminisation and thereby predict neonatal and adult reproductive disorders.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anogenital_distance
I think that my fiancée with ASD and constantly elevated testosterone levels and gender dysphoria would say yes to the inherented differences in an instant.

But there are plenty of symptoms of ASD that have nothing to do with stereotypical gendered behavior. And they are a requirement for diagnosis.

Personally I don't know.

Minor adjustment:

Dogs are wonderful companions. But they do come with needs and stress of their own. They are no replacement for therapy, mental health, or social engagement. Get a dog because you want to care for and love a dog. Animals aren't remedies.
I see what you mean by trying to improve your own country. But consider this: college education is not for everyone. If someone doesn't decide to go to college and still makes a good living as a tradesman or even unskilled worker, why should they be taxed to subsidize someone else's college?

Why not just tax less and let people make their own decisions with how the money they've earned is spent. Every time you create a new tax it's one less choice (freedom) someone has in their life.
so...why are we calling this science if it doesn't meet the basics of the Scientific method?

Prior to the Civil War our Representatives voted and worked from the same desk, the one they had in the Capitol Building in the House Chambers.

Now they have offices and support staff. Why don't we just convert those ~5000 support staff( and their offices ) into a much more representative democracy?

>> fails to teach us basics of personal finance

Actually that's not true anymore, at least where I live. My 15 year old had a class where they explained in pretty good detail how loans work, how one would go about getting a loan without getting ripped off, and how much one would have to pay back. I was very pleased when I saw homework related to this.

I don't know which percentage of kids will absorb (let alone retain) this, but they can no longer claim that society "fails" to teach them.

>"At around 2020, the condition of the planet becomes highly critical. If we do nothing about it, the quality of life goes down to zero. Pollution becomes so seriously it will start to kill people, which in turn will cause the population to diminish, lower than it was in the 1900. At this stage, around 2040 to 2050, civilised life as we know it on this planet will cease to exist."

Looking at recent news and our current battles with climate change, microplastics pollution etc... interesting.

From my personal experience, Germans and French have a completely different approach to project work/management/planning. Some backround: we are a German dev team, but our product management and release planning is located in France.

Germans need a clear plan/path, how to get from A to B, with concrete steps that need to be taken. If no such plan is in place, the uncertainty makes us feel uncomfortable. We also need to know who is responsible for what, who is the point of contact for which problem and who will/can decide what. That should ideally be clarified in project kickoff meetings. Meetings in general must have an agenda, the goal and which questions must be answered must be clear. This also drives who should attend the meeting.

French not so much. They are totally fine with not having a detailed plan. They just start with the work. They feel/think that "things will get sorted out when the time comes" and "someone will do it" or "someone will remember to bring the item to the meeting". To them we Germans are way to much stressed out about the plan and project structure. Meetings will be announced where there is no clear agenda, the goal is just "to align everybody" which often results in an unproductive mess.

For a long time I thought that our product management just did not have their shit together, that it was always chaotic, with change of plans on short notice, not giving a headsup on important topics and information getting lost in the shuffle or not reaching the right person etc.
Their communication style is also more indirect, not confronting people/issues in meetings, but rather sit in silence through it and then later complain/being irritated about what happened in the meeting.

A year ago I was lucky to pick the brain of an much older Begium high profile project lead (from a completely different company/field) who had worked a lot with French and German teams on many different projects. He said he preferred working with German over French teams and roughly described what I was experiencing.
Then it dawned on me, that this is not incompetance, this is just how they operate. I talked with my french manager about that and he was like "yeah totally", he outright said that he loves it when the plan is fuzzy and the scope is unclear.

From there on I saw many things through a much more understanding lens and respected their way of doing things. (For example, where we might overthink and over analyse stuff, they just start and get shit done. Or where we stress out about defining in detail processes and responsibilies, they also "just do it".) And actions (or inactions) that sometimes lead to (for us unexplainable) friction became clearer to me. I also realized, that you cannot change the people (and their working style). You have to adapt to it and compensate for the things that bother you (ask for an agenda, ask who will explicitly do what or better just do it yourself, bring the items yourself, etc).
It’s like you’re reading my mind. This matches my experience closely and is exactly what I first thought of when I saw this topic.
I’m going to check out that playlist, thank you! What Genelec speakers do you use/recommend?

I agree, the way everyone else ignores him is unreal. I didn't believe this could occur in modern society either.

There doesn't seem to be an easy fix. The judge is at least partly conditioned by the environment they were raised in. The engineers fed their families with the income earned from building the pain belt.

It makes me wonder how I might be complicit in harmful consequences I can't predict. I'm wondering what actions I could take personally to avoid doing damage like this in the future.
The pink ones are rattlers, that's all I could figure out. I thought orange vs yellow implied something about how tightly packed they were but that doesn't seem to hold up.

After hitting a high enough size ratio, the spaces leftover when you inscribe a hexagon (built from small circles) inside the large circle are basically always going to require filling with loose circles. It's probably provable, but I'm not sure how you'd actually go about it.

the bailouts were loans that were paid back with interest. the government profited off lending the banks money.
Are you arguing that I should be forced to spend my money in a certain way else the government should take it away?

Why is what I do with my own money any of your or the government's business?

> money IS debt. The money in your savings account, that you are so responsible with, is money that originated as a bank loan, or government debt.

You're going to need to explain a bit more here. Arguing that money that was _formerly_ debt is still debt when in my possession is gonna take some strong convincing :)
