Yurts can be insulated and have wood walls, windows, rafters, and metal roofing:

https://www.smilingwoodsyurts.com

From their FAQ:

"Homes built with our products are permanent and comfortable for full-time all-season living in nearly every climate. They are built with durable building materials to stand for generations; a fabric yurt is basically a really nice tent. A SWY will meet and exceed the most current international Residential Building codes and can be insulated to industry standards for energy-efficiency using proven R-value products, a fabric yurt will not. We have insulated glass windows whereas fabric yurts have vinyl windows that open from the outside. SWY homes can be secured, fully-insured, and generally qualify for conventional financing under most circumstances through a third-party. Please note: Smiling Woods Yurts does not offer any financing on our products."

Some yurts are tents, some are more substantial.

There is quite a lot about Leibniz's calculating machine designs on Wikipedia.

I think I found out about Leibniz's bitwise activities in Neal Stephenson's Quicksilver, but he invented the modern notions of both sets and digital logic, according to Wikipedia. He would have used the cards in catalogging libraries.
Excellent! thnx so much for building

Something is wrong!

“It feels that X is true, therefore X is true” is a logical fallacy.

Ok everything is terrible but I quite like bread and circuses, at least compared to rationing and curfew.

Breaking everything is the easy bit, what would be a better replacement and how do you propose we build it?
Any implementation yet?
"Voluntary" give me a break. Do you actually believe what you're typing? If so, that is an impressive spell you've placed yourself under. The large OTAs have such a large share of the market that there is nothing voluntary about using them. It's list your hotel with us or go out of business. And when you have that clout, you can then say, and don't try listing prices on your website that are lower than ours or we will de-list you.

Explain how that is not price-fixing at worst, and not shady at best?
> by evicting more than one key when at capacity (say, evict n% of total keys)

Ristretto does that already. It evicts as many keys as needed to stay within the MaxCost. This is done outside the critical path by background goroutines. However, you also don't want to evict too many keys, because that would affect the hit ratios.

There isn't anything stopping individuals from publishing Safari content blockers, though? No more than with the previous extension model.

Nor were individuals the only players to take advantage of the powers available to old extensions.

There are also legitimate security reasons why browsers such as Firefox have restricted side-loading add-ons on consumer operating systems such as Windows.

There's a debate to be had about whether security for most users is worth the trade-off in flexibility for power users. But regardless of any other reasons we might speculate, the arguments that have been presented in favor of such changes are already compelling enough on their own and need to be seriously addressed.
FYI there is a beta for a new Safari extension for Bitwarden you can use https://github.com/bitwarden/browser/issues/664

> This in a nutshell represents the core failure of modern managerial thinking. What started as "scientific management" many decades ago, an attempt to systematically understand how corporations should operate, quickly evolved into a group think belief that management could function as fungible & completely replaceable units of work-- that a "manager" could be trained up in various basic principles and plugged into any role

This is what I like about Chinese industry, for now...

They have not yet got themselves into "scientific management" coolaid.

"Sales call in the morning, prototypes in the evening" — says all about it. Find a single American electronics maker who can do that.

The crisis in American corporate culture is that people can't find out what their company exceeds in. So much focus goes to MBA things, than whatever is company's main competence gets less and less clear.

But in China, things crystal clear, for now:

Factories compete on cheap widgets

Engineering companies compete on TTM

Lawyers compete on winning cases

Car companies compete on horsepowers

Advertising companies compete on being obnoxious

Banks compete on cheaper loans

At least two other data points - I have a friend who worked in a govt agency - doing cool and important work - she left because of the unfirable lifers - while the stories are funny you can’t go to work and perform well in that situation.

In high school teacher X was notorious for giving no work and no s*its. He missed lots of his classes so always subs. We thought it was cool (usually easy A). He was there years but my senior year he must have done something way over the line because he was fired midday. Amazingly the gossip never figured out what he did (despite kids w parents on school board)

> After which I said that the NSA does not have carte blanche to hack any computer and you accused me of putting words in your mouth.

Do you understand that there is a difference between being able to hack domestic computer systems and foreign computer systems? The latter is fair game, as long as it allows them to collect foreign intelligence, which is part of their charter.

Already done. If you believe it is illegal, try to get a lawyer and sue. The lawyer will laugh you out of the office, just as I have been laughing at that illiterate Snowden.
Found the libertarian!

I kid, but I think most people do have the view that the government really owns everything. In practice, control means ownership, so it's not an unreasonable view.
I don't think it's an oversight. Shannon entropy, Von Neumann entropy and other information theory entropies are useful, but not physically fundamental in the sense of the second law of thermodynamics.

I don’t know Rust well enough, but wouldn’t that fit the bill?
I don't see a disconnect. For one, people will overlook that he at least made an effort to whistle blow responsibly (& I've yet to see evidence that he failed in that effort). He didn't pass off his information to wikileaks

> > It would be nice to make things for the web, but it feels like a terrifyingly fast moving enviroment.

> The author should look into Emscripten. It is widely used in the games industry that aims for the web.

Emscripten is wonderful. If you are slightly careful, a standard C SDL2 OpenGL application can, with a few small changes, run directly in the browser — any modern browser — with WebGL, and your single codebase can target both just by having different targets in your Makefile. I've done it for my own hobby game project. :D

It is a bit constraining as a target. Only WebGL 1.0 is supported by all major browsers, which limits you to OpenGL ES 2.0. And unfortunately, in my experience OpenGL calls in Emscripten (translated to WebGL) are much slower than native ones. But if you're content with not trying to do a max-fidelity AAA experience, it's manageable. Particularly compelling to me is the possibility of letting someone try out your game immediately on your site with no download, or even jump into a multiplayer game with a friend with just a click on a link.
Ok, now what if that is not possible, and the rest of the workers have extremely bad positions, and it is not possible to convince them to change their mind?

Do you understand now why decentralization of power can have its uses?
There's a distinction between bank loans and debt. Bank loans can be called by the bank if you no longer meet their loan terms, so loans are much riskier for the borrower than debt. Debt is less risky but usually more expensive.
It seems to me that the "Typical vs. average" section of the article specifically covers informational entropy. The question seems to hinge on the difference between disorder and randomness.

That's not entirely true. If you only rely on RAII you may end up with millions of shared pointers, each of which needs to be managed independently and having its own overhead. They may also be independently allocated, which means they will be fragmented in memory. Not so simple.
also, let's be honest - the kinds of folks running self hosted software are devs and techies, and no one in the open source self hosted space is feeding their family on these tools.

In that context open source should be like a bazaar where we share ideas and compete a bit, and see what works, and learn from each other. Let a thousand flowers bloom; we aren't talking about seed rounds here.

I mean. Many types of meditation is just that, practicing attention and self control. So would make sense that those skills would improve.

After practicing meditation myself for a couple of years I have noticed no difference what-so-ever. But the act of meditation itself de-stress me (is that a word?)-—relaxing wouldn’t be the right word, because it is not relaxation. Anyway. I’m quite sure I could get the same stress relief by just sit to by down and reading a book.

One book I’d heavily recommend on meditation is Daniel Ingram’s amazing Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha. He really cuts through the fluff and gets to the core of how meditation taken to mastery changes how things are perceived. It’s an absolute tome but so worth it.
I liked this article. Really clear. I found some of my own misconceptions. For instance, that uniformity and gradients are ways of characterising entropy.

The example of oil and water is great. While they are separated with a gradient, there is no latent tendency to flow together and mix.

But, it's only gravity that makes the oil and water issue hard to understand. With no gravity, they would not be evenly divided.

We still don't understand gravity, as it relates to entropy. Usually entropy makes things spread out, but gravity makes things come together. Weird.
That was a typo, thanks for the catch! That’s exactly the point I was trying to make.
'By the end of the century, 13 million Americans will need to move just because of rising sea levels, at a cost of $1 million each, according to Florida State University demographer Mathew Haeur, who studies climate migration.'

Mr Hauer is a sociologist so this seems a bold claim

Actually profit as a motivation does not work for highly skilled work. If you put a monetary reward for solving a problem the solution usually gets worse.

"Based on studies done at MIT and other universities,[4] higher pay and bonuses resulted in better performance ONLY if the task consisted of basic, mechanical skills. It worked for problems with a defined set of steps and a single answer. If the task involved cognitive skills, decision-making, creativity, or higher-order thinking, higher pay resulted in lower performance"

Yes, they're quite late to the show. Probably because their customers want muscle cars: hooligan M2s, hideous oversized fastback SUVs or luxury sedans. Most of their customer base wants cars with at least 250 mile range to be able to commute with on the autobahn, which they are unable to offer yet. Not EV minis. BMW blamed 20% revenue losses on EV R&D and emissions compiance.

Daimler, a company with similar clientelle, is moving even more slowly. At least they announced the EQC SUV, an EQV van, the EQ sedan. Which are of course all vapour yet. We'll see how good they are when they do arrive. Daimler does have have the truck division to keep them afloat and a two seat supermini, the Smart electric drive, which barely qualifies as a car.

Huh, I had also heard (vaguely, from somewhere!) that most of the carbon does get released back into the air on rotting.

Where does it go after the soil? The carbon that makes up a plant is definitely sourced from the air not the soil.

If the carbon was still in the soil I'd imagine fossil fuels wouldn't need to mostly come from the Carboniferous period, right?
Definitely! Object pools are common in game dev too from what I know. We used them extensively to reduce the amount of GC we needed.
I don't think this article presents enough evidence that climate change, or climate in general, is affecting a person's desire to move to a new area.
