Anyone on know if there is a windows or linux tool to monitor app access to Microphone?
Agreed, but you should also keep in mind that this means extra work. Often the difference is negligible. But if you e.g. strace a syscall-wise very busy process and pipe that into grep, all the logging strace does that is then piped over to grep just to be discarded by grep eventually, may actually affect performance a lot; while strace -e avoids this extra work.
cultures are created and die at a rate much higher than evolutionary timescales
Then trump comes along and says publicly and gets elected by stoking people up over what is already happening under the force of law.

It's just like JFK, how the media looked the other way at his affairs.
I don't think most Americans appreciate just how much of the food they consume originates in California. Not just California, but in 6 or 7 counties located in the San Joaquin valley. I grew up in the middle of it in Tulare County and even I don't grasp the multibillions of dollars agriculture brings in. In the event of some megadisaster which cause the valley to stop producing or something happens to the transportation infrastructure on a massive scale, there will be a lot of empty produce bins and grocery shelves in the US and they won't be quickly refilled.
If that's the case then there's no room whatsoever for capitalism to be anything other than an amoral system we should be ashamed of.

Vote with your dollar. You're allowed to make your own moral choices and refuse to contribute to evil.
Watch out for that spikes your adrenaline like sprinting or heavy lifting in the evening though. That said I always get amazing sleep after heavy deadlifts as done properly they fatigue your CNS much more than the individual muscles so its like your brain forces a shutdown to recover. Squats and bench just wake me up though.

Light doesn't really accelerate, so if you put it in any gravity well that's wide enough, it will eventually fall in.
I believe it allowed them to illicitly claim lower addictiveness in their clinical studies, since they could throw out people who removed the Acetaminophen with a filter (as is common in real abuse), as people not taking the prescribed combination (or the techniques for removing it only got broad use after it was already approved).

> ICE would cease to be able to function incredibly quickly. Which would be good.

If you had said "ICE would be forced to reconsider its inhumane methods which have lead to its terrible reputation" - a lot more people would agree with you. There have been a number of polls done over the past year or two which show that only about 25% support abolishing ICE, the majority oppose. I think almost everyone would agree that they need to do their job with a lot more empathy and humanity, so protests are good, but the goal should be to get them to clean up their act, it would be a mistake (and not supported by the people) to try to get rid of the immigrations and customs enforcement function entirely.
How does removing a tool from ICE help improve the conditions of asylum seekers? At most it makes them pay for a different tool and makes the asylum seekers conditions worse. Unintended consequences...

> like running input through GloVe and pushing ngrams to a temporal store

why exactly you think PG will not do this well?
I think you're misrepresenting the argument of people who don't think developers should interfere with the usages of their product.

The most compelling arguments I found is that just because we happen to work in a field that lets us exert our influence over society doesn't make our moral sensibilities any better than the rest of society. What us privileged few who work in technology see as using our position of influence for good, many other people may see as a small minority abusing their power to manipulate society for the worse.

I think many technology worker do understand the power they have, and make the deliberate decision that refraining from exercising that power is the morally optimal choice.
This is a false dicothomy

The actual (IMO correct) position most of these people share is the following two points at once:

- businesses should have a moral position, since businesses are just a set of people

- that moral position should be right!

This isn’t rocket science! Stuff like “don’t support a business doing bad stuff” and “support businesses doing good stuff” is just really basic consumer activism.

There’s no need to go deep in metaphysics. It’s literally just “support good things, don’t support bad things”
I will not trust a "smart" watch. However, your fatigue is not a good sign. You should get medical advice.

Perhaps you are not breathing right during your sleep. A possibility is sleep apnea. I do have allergies which make me tired after sleep, during some seasons. One of the ways I cope is to do breathing exercises before I sleep. This does help sometimes.
I used to love AirBnB at the beginning because it was a great way to meet locals and live a bit like locals.
Unfortunately it became too big and now it is very hard to distinguish genuine residents interested in meeting tourists from professionals that I will not meet at all and whose process is almost completely automated. That completely ruins what was once an awesome human experience.

I'd rather try couchsurfing or stay in a hotel...
Myths can be powerful things. Doesn't necessarily make them true.
Things stop being opt-in when too many people start using them. There's a point where private platforms become so big they begin to function as public platforms. At that point, not opting in becomes tantamount to becoming an off-grid prepper, or religious hermit. Participating in society is technically opt-in as well, but because it is tied into all parts of life, not opting in requires you to opt out.
When I heard that from some girls in high school I responded by asking them "if they have nothing to hide, why are they wearing clothes?" I at least hope I made them think.
I think the core idea here is: this organization is doing bad things. By not supplying them with goods and services we can stop those bad things from happening.

Whether that happens because the organization reforms or because the organization ceases to exists is a secondary concern.
It seems to me obvious that if I have a computer, I am more productive than with a stone axe, and it is a more productive asset if I am using it.

There is obviously a surplus from combining labor with capital, and an inevitable struggle over allocating it, but I don't understand at all why people ostensibly think it's obviously all rightfully belonging to one or the other.

If I earn a dollar, and then I collect interest on it, then the interest is really a part of my wages that was withheld. It's not extra. Whether anyone is being cheated of the amount of the interest depends on whether I got the dollar honestly, or cheated or stole to get it, but that has nothing to do with the essential nature of labor or capital.
Lots of people support ICE, maybe, but that doesn’t prevent a lot of people from thinking it’s inherently wrong.

The more clear cute example is weapons research. Loads of researchers and institutions outright rule out weapons research, because they find it wrong.

Besides, “inherently wrong” is a subjective thing anyways, if only by the fact some people agree to your statement and some people don’t, despite everyone having the same set of facts
> not an economist, though he has written inexplicably popular books on economic topics that betray his lack of understanding of economics.

"Debt" I think shows a deep understanding of the relationships economics has with history, philosophy, and society. Graeber knows he's not an economist but he's got a point to make and he's not shy about making it even though it says less than flattering things about some aspects of economics.

You're link is broken for me btw.
Everybody knows there's a big difference between "mostly dead", and "all dead".
Trump is unfit for office because he's unable or unwilling to fulfill the constitutionally required fiduciary duty of the office holder, his oath of office requires that he put country over personal gain and he consistently chooses personal gain.

The difference is, Biden was stating the official position of the U.S. government, with respect to Shokin slow walking corruption prosecutions. All the U.S. allies were saying the same thing about Shokin. He should have been prosecuting companies like Burisma, the company Hunter Biden sat on the board for. But he say on that board to years after the alleged wrongdoing by Burisma.

Per usual, Trump claims conspiracies the exact opposite of the truth. Whether he knows he's lying, or is confabulating, is an open question.

The bribery has already been admitted in plain sight, by Trump, by Guiliani, by Mulvaney. And it is bribery, Trump wanted headlines "Ukraine investigates Bidens!" however phony, to impugn the credibility of Joe Biden, whole holding up aid to get it. He literally wants Ukraine to engage in corruption to benefit his campaign. It's unquestionably impeachable bribery. It's also a crime:

18 USC §601, it is a crime to directly or indirectly attempt to get someone contribute something of value to benefit a political candidate by threatening the denial of any benefit made possible in whole or in part by an Act of Congress.

Success isn't required by the statue. Just like obstruction of justice laws, attempting to obstruct justice is a crime.

The WH released "memo" about the Trump Zelensky phone call, the whistleblower statement, the corroborating witnesses including Alexander Vindman are consistent with each other, and are evidence of consciousness of guilt by the White House.

It's hilariously transparent to a turnip Trump can only look decent by conning people into thinking his enemies are just as bad. Maybe you like the corrupt person he is, or maybe you lack the character assessment skill to recognize it.
> and store it in a database forever.

This is an important point. Most people are deciding what they're ok with based on today's circumstances, government etc. What happens if some years from now, your past behavior is at odds with the current government. You will be flagged and there will undoubtedly be consequences, which, even if minor are still negative. E.g., flagged for searches at border crossings.
Many, many people feel that enforcing existing immigration laws is morally right and a "good thing".

I think defining what is morally right is harder than rocket science and literally impossible in some cases.
>There will be a lot of output. We can grep for the open system call. But that will not really work since strace outputs everything to the standard error (stderr) stream. We can redirect the stderr to the standard output (stdout) stream with 2>&1.

Besides being a great explanation of htop, I like the way this article captures the way I - far from a shell guru - tend to think when putting together a few steps in the terminal. And even then it shows that it pays to read the man page too!
>> In my case, it was only as a mature man that I became fully mortal. I had wasted an entire evening playing an addictive, first-person shooter video game—running through subterranean halls, flooded corridors, nightmarishly turning tunnels, and empty plazas under a foreign sun, firing my weapons at hordes of aliens relentlessly pursuing me.

Strange how the definition of "mature man" has also changed over the ages.
To give a government absolute control like this is insane.
> "By the time the children were an average of 8.9 years, 25.8% had been diagnosed with ADHD only, 6.6% with ASD only and 4.2% with ADHD and ASD"

This seems very high - I'd call in to question the validity of the diagnosis (these diagnoses are obviously somewhat subjective). Given that those numbers are for the total cohort, that suggests that something like a full half of the upper third of children were diagnosed with ADHD.
It's like everybody suddenly forgot about hacking team and vupen and whoever else.
This is simply not true. Couchsurfing was a great site that grew too fast. In doing so, it ended up taking in those people that don't believe in its core values, which ended up upending it's general concept in its entirety.

Most sites, concepts, etc work great when the true devoted self sacrificial believers - the ones that really want things to work are the primary part of it. Once the people that only care enough to break the system to get what they want are part of it, the system is gone and no good.

The problem is that nobody is going to take a reasonable stand against those folks. There are people that are worth blackballing, that are better off not being part of society. I'm not saying that you should make those decisions quickly, but you must be willing to make them.

Any company that doesn't keep its culture dies. It might be a horrible long 20 year death, but it still dies.
I do actually, but in this context it doesn't really matter. Does any - not first generation immigrant - say I am 10% Irish, 10% Jewish from Russian Empire, 50% Welsh and 30% Italian? Maybe some people do but in reality you say you are an American. And for most of the world that's how it sounds anyway.
You seem to be doing all the right things. The only thing I could suggest that might help you trying cold showers before bed as painful as that sounds. It apparently promotes more restful sleep.
I find it interesting Nature uses leading language like "wiping" the memory. I don't know my immune cell chemistry, but I doubt the memory is completely wiped.
If I'm not mistaken this is actually the whole point of Webpack. Instead of serving 8,000 npm modules on each page load it goes through and makes one mega-bundle that only includes the code that gets called.
I'm worried about that too, but you can deal with it by making the system that automates your backups also test your memory of the password (while still creating a non-interactive backup even if you ignore the prompt). Alternatively, reuse a password that you regularly use offline, like a disk encryption or SSH passphrase.
Slavery is still allowed for jury duty as well. You are forced to work and if you don't go they can throw you in prison and/or fine you.
It sounds like you need a housing insurance company just to deal with AirBnB effectively. How pathetic.

Fantastic paper on containerization of crops. I had no idea this type of analysis even existed
Good source of data for training a de-bullshitter.

Input: A year and a half ago when we began scouting for this type of machine learning-savvy engineer —something we now call the machine learning Software Engineer (ML SWE) — it wasn’t something we knew much about. We looked at other companies’ equivalent roles but they weren’t exactly contextualized to Lyft’s business setting. This need motivated an entirely new role that we set up and started hiring for.

Target: We invented a position called a machine learning software engineer.

Input: First, candidates on the ML SWE loop go through Lyft’s hiring review. The review is a regularly scheduled session for a committee to study candidates with an unbiased perspective and decide whether to hire them. Working alongside the review committee is a separate panel of interviewers that provides technical feedback. This feedback is designed to help the committee decide if there’s a fit and, if so, the candidate’s technical level. At first glance, this review process may seem cumbersome. Examining the checks and balances more carefully, however, we notice that they are intentionally introduced to put friction on the hiring process. Having a consistent review committee unifies standards and eliminates bias.

Target: A committee and a group of interviewers evaluate a candidate for fit and technical level.

Input: Despite the what-ifs, being transparent about how we design interviews can improve our interviews. Call it enlightened self-interest: candidates invest time to talk to us and we mutually benefit from learning if there is a good fit. Even if there isn’t an immediate fit, positive experiences build brand and improves candidate sourcing. Maybe the candidate can reapply when the timing is better. Practically, hiring an engineer easily costs tens of thousands of dollars. By showing how we iterate on our interviews, we reveal what we truly care about and how we try to probe at them, hopefully adding to the virtuous cycle for the hiring pipeline.

Target: We don't respect the time of our readers and are hopelessly unenlightened on this fact.
yes, we're carbo/protein battery operated things

Political advertising is very clear on television. Isn't that the context of this discussion?
On the other hand, I'm one of those Free Software guys that believes that the software I write should be able to be used by anyone, for any purpose. One of the problems with causing shit storms in at your place of employment because they don't follow your preferred political views is that these views are divergent.

No matter what thing you are talking about, whether technical or political decision, a decision has to be made. Once it is made, as an employee, I think you've got to either go with it or decide to go somewhere else (perhaps starting your own company if you need to). I say this as a person who obviously holds a minority point of view in most of the companies I've worked for ;-)

At the end of the day, you've got to decide if you are aligned with the ideals of the employer you work for or not. Making suggestions is one thing, but trying to put political pressure on your employer to act in a particular manner is something I would advise people to refrain from.
Right, they should refuse all advertising, regardless of content. They have made themselves into the largest public platform and have no business taking bribes. If they want to be a profit-generating business, they should stop being the public forum.
ah, thanks! I did a quick Ctrl+F for "Progress Bars" (probably the wrong word anyway), but not colour!

Call it half of land area, not 10%.

Of total land area circa 10% is developed, 10% arable and a shade over 25% permanent pasture for livestock[1], and a few other minor agricultural uses. Of the rest we have forests, permafrost, deserts, mountains, marsh, scrub and other marginal land. The best crop and pasture land is long gone. What's left with potential appear to be the places we need to not lose - rainforests and such. God help everyone if we are able or need to start farming former permafrost.

Changing farming through mechanisation, artificial fertiliser and de-population of agriculture has been a steady march since WW2 (mostly). All leveraged on fossil fuel, and mostly a one-time dividend.

Past capacity as the rest close the development gap (you can't just miss that out), based on all resource use, and associated pollution - environmental overshoot - not mere calories. Not just a baseless assertion as we are assessed to be 70% beyond the ecosystem's capacity to absorb[2] right now. We've been beyond it for years. We're on borrowed time even without more development. Overshoot day[3] has gained a fair bit of publicity in recent years, but there's plenty of different measures all pointing to the same trends and issues.

With that level of accelerating overshoot, the planet can barely cope - the list of global scale and population related issues is huge. Yet coming en masse as a "surprise" is mostly to be expected given the growth curve. So there seems precious little headroom left, even if we do miraculously work to achieve zero carbon by 2050. Not expecting us to get anywhere near it any more though. Pretending population is just fine, or "growth is vital" as TFA claims is, whilst the globe does almost naff all to become sustainable is, frankly, nuts.

Scala/Haskell has the same thing, and it's an amazing feature. The proper type is that of

trait IndexedStateT[A, B, C]

Which signifies a typelevel state machine moving from state A to state B emitting a value of type C.

I can only speak for scala, but i'm assuming haskell has singleton and literal types as well. Meaning that code like this works great.

object DoorOpen
object DoorClosed

class Door {
def open: IndexedState[DoorClosed.type, DoorOpen.type, Unit]
def close: IndexedState[DoorOpen.type, DoorClosed.type, Unit]
}

val d = Door()
for {
_ <- d.open() //works
_ <- d.close() // works
// _ <- d.close() //compile error
}

By my understanding of the article, it uses the borrow/move state to implement the state transistion. Is this generalizable to arbitrary state machines, or only a simple 2-state one?

> These aren't people fleeing genocide. These are people leaving Mexico.

No, they are people fleeing violence in Central America through Mexico, in large part.

That violence, incidentally, is in substantial part resulting from the US training nonviolent drug war criminals into extremely violent criminals in its original and then deporting then to Central America what they have no substantial roots.
So go back to what pops were in 1930? If people would level off their mass consumerism and appetite to one up each other we could probably all live well at 1960s levels. But to get back down there it has to be carefully managed to avoid imbalances and collapses. Unfortunately history has some bad lessons for us to learn from; China, the early XX century’s idea of creating new super people and eliminating those of us who are weak or could have undesirable characteristics, and obviously worse. But, we do see education, especially for women along with jobs for them in the regular economy do lead to a quick decrease in TFR.
