I saw some dam failure warning sirens in Alaska. They were mostly in narrow, valleys in mountainous areas, or bridges crossing them. Here’s a brief article about testing them: https://www.ktoo.org/2013/07/17/aelp-to-test-sirens/
>If there's robust competition and a shortage of people, the salaries will be high.

Yes, but if some software corp builds a campus in the middle of nowhere, there won't be robust competition, obviously. So the salaries are going to be terrible. The only reason the corporation would do this is to save money, so they're not going to offer salaries similar to the high-CoL location; doing so would cost them more money (paying for building the new campus, the huge administrative cost of opening and staffing this location and getting it productive, plus the lack of savings in salaries). The whole idea doesn't make any sense at all. If you look at the way companies operate, they never do this, except for manufacturing (where they're looking for low-skilled workers they can train). For high-skilled knowledge workers, they always go where the workers are.

Language, Axe, Wheel, Coffee, Beer, Printing Press, iPhone. Inventions or discoveries that change the world have the common thread of usefulness and suitability. Thinking historically is pretty, it's hard to weed out bad ideas this way. AI is an idea like a "wood cutting implement" is an idea, but it's still no axe.
reality exists independent of belief or acceptance

I'm using the word in that sense of "The reality is that I can't afford to buy a Ferrari"; it's (sadly) true, but it could change in the future.
There is no reason in principle why the big tech companies can't require a court order. They say they do that whenever possible.

The problem is when the law is against them with things like national security orders, along with the question of how we can ensure that they are regulating access properly. But in theory, these things could be fixed.
That's essentially the story "build a ML system that recognizes the time of day, instead of tanks" ;)

>Alternate layouts & ortholinear/ergonimic designs should be the forefront of the movement.

Ehh. There are a lot of good reasons to have layouts that are fairly common across all the equipment you'll use. From what I've seen, while there may be some advantages to different layouts and configurations, very few things are so compelling as to warrant a wholesale change outside of some niches like court stenographers for which specialized training is justified.
I would argue that in a sufficiently large organization you're better off using plain Java or perhaps Kotlin. The latter hits the sweet spot between 'expressive' and 'unreadable' whereas Scala can miss the mark.

I'm sure if you are very disciplined when writing Scala then this will not happen, etc etc. But the fact that people need to decide upfront which parts of Scala to use and which ones to avoid seem like red flags to me (and in fact were red flags, in my experience).
Well, if it is illegal that is another thing entirely. But where I live, it is legal and basically every motorcyclist does it.

Do you consider the buzzfeed article "official declaration of countries"?

I feel like you anthropomorphize this situation almost to irrelevance.

"This country complained, this one didn't." is such a simplification that I think you're missing the actual topic.

If two countries nuked each other and one complained more, would it matter?
There are been hundreds of attempts using a number of different ideas. The reason for C++ and not those alternatives is there is a lot of C++ code. If most of my code is C++ I don't gain anything from your new language as I spend most of my time maintaining old code. Even if I use your language for new code that means I constantly have to remember if I'm fixing a bug using C++ code rules or the new language rules. Some projects have successfully done this and eventually re-wrote everything. However others have not and the pain of a new language is a problem.

The other problems with that approach means C++ is everywhere.

I know that I can find a good compiler for C++ when I want to switch platforms. Will your new language support my new platform? Will your new language even exist? I've worked on a number of projects where the code was written in some language where the compiler vendor is out of business. This risk works against all new languages (some have overcome it, some have not).

With C++ I know if I need to hire more people I can hire experts to help out. If I choose your language do I have to pay my new employees to learn the language for the first few months? Learning my code (which is always hard no matter what the language) is already going to be a problem using something that nobody knows just makes it worse.

Will your language optimize well? C++ being everywhere means that compilers vendors have put a lot of effort into writing good optimizers. When performance matters C++ will often come in first because of this effort.
I'm in the $600+ club too (Kepler that has a full brass bottom weight 6+kg, Kepler 65 with it's forged carbon top etc.)

It's a really strange hobby. A bunch of people who really value and love keyboards, the thing that sits between a human and a computer, a tool that many (developers, writers, gamers) use every day for hours on end.

Similar to how someone might invest in a nice knife if they love cooking, luxury-priced tools are quite a common category you see in hobbies.

The community is nice, and the pursuit of "endgame" continually drives supply, demand and the prices that go along with it up consistently. Next year, I wouldn't be surprised if we see several new $1000+ keyboards playing around with new finishes, materials and designs that cater to the high end of the hobby.
Work gives us purpose. There is no substitute for enjoying the fruits of one's labor. Working on teams anchors us socially. On the flip side, working for someone else with little agency and decompression time is not very enjoyable.

Between pointless distraction and work, most people will pick the latter, especially after a solid decompression period, in spite of the surface enjoyability balance favoring the former.
Do you know if the various 'add-ons' that were required to strip Kindle of DRM are still available and updated.

Years ago, I enjoyed stripping my own purchased Kindle books to ePub with Calibre, so I could read them on my non-Kindle device, but it wasn't so easy as the patches became harder to find, and Amazon would constantly change their DRM.
I don't have anything to address your questions but I am curious what dietary changes you've made.
ah, my bad then.
Yes, I am a doctor. As far as I remember, I studied medicine and graduated.

As other comments point out, medicine is a very specialized field nowadays and I didn't specialize in any field (I got into coding healthcare software instead) - in Germany you study all disciplines at University (min. 6 years) and then specialize during something comparable to US residency in a hospital.

I understand the process of accommodation. This poses the risk of e.g. over-correcting short-sightedness if you're not aware of it because, with each lens of increasing strength, you accommodate and think "geez, everything just got sharper.. again!". I was aware of this and, as you can find in my article, actually ended up using very similar values for dioptries (the spheres) as the opticians. So either all of us totally forgot about accommodation or all of us were aware of it :)

My values mainly differed regarding to astigmatism, and accommodation doesn't play a significant role there.

I am also aware of the bone behind my ears, thanks for reminding me :)

While you do learn a lot of stuff in med school, learning how to bend those things of glasses which go behind your ears is not part of that. I suppose that's not a skill which can be taught well, anyway - it's more like craftsmanship, getting it right by having done it lots of times.
There are of course a large number of it depends. Sometimes there isn't a problem sometimes there is.

Aside from usage in many other beasts beyond dogs, ivermectin has a fairly wide and possibly growing range of applications, eg used externally to treat rosacea, internally for river blindness, etc. It has anthelmintic effects on many roundworms, but not flatworms. It's an acaricide and generally effective in treating scabies; also lice and bedbugs. Definitely keep pet spiders away from ivermectin! I've seen nothing (yet) indicating antifungal properties. Anyone considering self administration (a commenter somewhere above) should note the hepatotoxicity of the drug.

Edit note:
I am pretty sure ivermectin is the active ingredient in Revolution, an extremely popular medicine for dogs... and cats, combatting both heartworm and fleas and maybe more.

The devil is in the details here- consider the current state of regulatory capture of the FCC, where Ajit Pai is arguably representing the interests of his previous employer, Verizon. It's not a giant leap to argue that the placement of Pai and the comments on the net neutrality board were 1) orchestrated by Verizon and 2) strategically use the government as a proxy to hide the exercise of their will.

I wouldn't say this is a case of `the government is doing psyops`, but rather `some entity is using the government to gaslight the people`. I don't blame the structure for this problem, but the people who corrupted it.

> Do you remember the process in which an optician makes you wear a new pair of glasses and stares at you with this optician-look, takes the pair of glasses away from you again, goes to the back office and starts bending parts of it in a seemingly random manner, comes back, hands you the pair of glasses which now suddenly fit perfectly? Yeah, I attempted to do that with my new pair of glasses and noticed that I suck at it. I would bend it to look similar like the glasses from the optician only to realize that the back of my ears were hurting after a few hours of wear. Then I would bend them differently only to have them repeatedly slip forward on my nose warranting me to push them up every few minutes. After two weeks of bending, it still fits less well than the other pair. So I guess there are some subtleties of making glasses which are not easily replaceable through an online store.

I've done this with several pairs, and the main thing is you need to heat them to get the plastic into a temperature where it will hold a new bend. I've used a hair dryer for this, though you need to be careful not to over-heat them or the plastic will blister.

You can also go into a glasses shop and ask if they can adjust them, though when I tried this they wouldn't take my money and just did it for free, which I felt bad about.
Granted, but pretty much every language also ships with routines for other data structures, and I would think that you need things like lists/slices more often than you need string routines.

The controversy is about Facebook's proposal to implement E2EE on Messenger, thus ending Facebook's ability to comply with warrants ordering them to disclose Facebook messages. Due to the lack of E2EE, Facebook can currently detect and report a lot of crime to law enforcement; some of this crime may go unpunished if E2EE is implemented.

I were assembling a home-optometry kit, I would use adjustable oil lenses and a laser pointer. The speckle pattern of the laser dot is affected by whether the observer is myopic or hyperopic. Adjust the oil glasses until, when moving your head, the laser speckle dots do not appear to move. If they move opposite to your head motion, make the lens diopter more negative, and if they move in the same direction, make the lens diopter less negative.

After determining exact spherical diopter, then test for astigmatism by spinning a set of parallel black lines on a white field, and parallel white lines on a black field. Or just look at a printout of an astigmatism dial chart.
I don't think so. I'm trying to find some sources, and it seems like all the clickbait articles reference a book by some guy named Andrew Leatherbarrow, "Chernobyl 01:23:40" (and Leatherbarrow is just some guy without any particular expertise). I can't find any justification for why there was a chance that millions would have died and half of Europe was almost rendered uninhabitable. It smells like clickbait bullshit.

Some good thoughts. Totally agree with all your points.
> Measuring the amount of energy spent on a specific human being trained on a task would also have to account for the billions of years of evolution that lead up to the present-day structure of the human brain.

That's completely ridiculous. It's like saying that to measure the energy used by a computer on a task, you have to start by measuring the entire energy usage of the human race since the invention of the transistor.
I think the author underestimates how amateurish many people selling keyboard parts are (i.e. rarely fully or never committed to the work as their employment, and without any experience in sales, manufacturing, marketing, distribution). Optimizing pricing or marketing strategies is not, afaict, deeply considered. Money is consistently left on the table. Look into the madness of first-party 'artisan' keycap sales, for example.

To be fair, there's nothing really wrong with this, since it is just a hobby for most people involved, and these sorts of products really often are just making something you want to exist and selling a few more to meet minimum order quantity.
One of my pet peeves is the proliferation of blue-white LEDs into areas where the previous generation of light technology was perfectly acceptable and safe. I think car owners trick up their cars with blue-white LEDs (as replacement headlights, or as "light bars" and floodlights) because they confuse blue-white LEDs with the spectrum emitted by the high intensity discharge headlights [0] that were formerly used on expensive cars.

Motorcycles have long had mandated daytime running lights, as it helps make them more visible. Do modern motorcyclists intentionally retrofit super-bright Blue-White LEDs thinking they help improve their visibility?

What would be a good way to reach motorcyclists to help them realize their blinding lights aren't actually as protective as they presumably think?

This remind me of this wonderful article on fractals:
https://aeon.co/ideas/feel-good-fractals-from-ocean-waves-to...

tl;dr - human instinct guides us to prefer aesthetics with a certain "fractal dimension" (measure of repeating patterns across scales, ranging from 1.0-2.0) that mirrors the dimensions found in nature: 1.3-1.5

This sort of symmetry is the signature of living and biodiverse places. We are hardcoded to prefer it, through deep history.

My read on this is that we're finding solace in manufactured landscapes that fall within this range, and nooks help create this balance of chaos and order. The places we build outside this range subtly increase our stress.

The place I've visited where this struck me most, was Juifen, the Taiwanese mountain town that inspired Spirited Away. Walking through the long market "tunnel" was like walking along a forest path -- you'd look up and there's be many layers of canopy and hanging vines and accreted layers of human intervention. It felt so organic and layers and mentally energizing.

I don't think anybody is suggesting two individuals should not be allowed to use math to protect their conversations. Even if Facebook adds a way for law enforcement to access communications individuals are still free to talk in code or encrypt their messages before putting it on the wire. With your old telephone, your carrier can wiretap your line but you can still use a scrambler or talk in code and the tap will reveal only metadata.

How is Facebook (or other internet services) being required to provide wire tap access any different from a telecom company?
