It is just that all sources seem to point in the direction that it wasn't outright slavery. That many workers were forced by economical needs or their believes to contribute, is another thing, but that applies to many ventures.
But they aren't "death" death, like Whoopi Goldberg would say. You can't comprehend something that requires your consciousness to cease to exist in order to fully comprehend it.

In other words, "we" have some abstract ideas about what happens when "we" die, but it's fundamentally impossible for you, the individual, to imagine what happens when _you_ die.

Any examples of a 65% keyboard? I've never heard this terminology thrown around till now.
I like to think of it as showing up to not vote. You made an effort to express your disappointment that can't just be argued away as 'people are too busy'.

Here in Australia at least I can do that every time and still have my vote go to the lesser evil due to preferences.

> Or are you arguing that they're not heads of state?

Yes, that is what I am arguing. You are obviously a genius.

When you say "the palaces, the estates from which they derive income even if they don't own them...acquired prior to becoming heads of state", you are showing that you didn't read anything I wrote (I understand why you don't see the relevance now, it has been explained more than once however).

They did not acquire them, they are owned by the state. And the income from those sources accrues to the state, which is then passed to the Crown. The relevance of this point is: the British Royal Family are not wealthy, the majority of what people attribute to them is in fact state-owned, the personal assets they have were acquired on the open market (i.e. not related to their position as head of state...again, the reason you might not understand the relevance of that distinction is because you don't know that this isn't the case in many other monarchies...I gave you two examples...you are taking learned helplessness to new lows).

Btw: the UK went through this 400 years ago. If you want to know more about this issue, don't get angry first...read books. You don't seem to understand quite fundamental aspects about how monarchy/government works in this case.
Rockets are designed to have a vastly lower margin of safety. If they never fail in testing that’s a sign you’re over engineering it and sacrificing cargo capacity, which is a bad thing. That said, these failures should be uncommon.
"And so, if we were to rightsize the scaling for our intellectual life, you should describe Harvard, not as one of the thousands of great universities, you should describe it as a Studio 54 nightclub" is really all you need to take away from this. Not for what it says, but for the desperate attempt of those words to make any real sense.

Although don't miss out on gems like: "But in practice, the main AI applications that people seem to talk about are using large data to sort of monitor people, know more about people than they know about themselves. And in the limit case, maybe it can solve a lot of the sort of Austrian Economics type problems where you can know enough about people that you know more about them than they know about themselves, and you can sort of enable communism to work, maybe not so much as an economic theory, but at least as a political theory. So it is definitely a Leninist thing. And then, it is literally communist because China loves AI; it hates crypto. And so that, I think, tells you something."

AI is literally communist. Thanks Peter.

Is Julia likely to become as massively popular as Python? Probably not. Is julia likely to become much bigger than it already is? Yes, I'd say so.

Julia's value proposition is mostly geared towards people trying to do things that are just too difficult, awkward or slow in other languages. It's not just about speed, dynamism and friendly syntax. It's also about solving the expression problem and providing unprecedented composability.

So while it doesn't have great appeal to end users, it does appeal to people who make the sort of things end users want so the community is currently swelling with very talented people making state of the art research libraries. Honestly, whether these libraries attract hordes of 'scripters' or not, doesn't really matter to julia's usefulness to the people who use it currently.

But I think that as julia's package ecosystem evolves and matures (We've only been at 1.0 for a year!), it's going to get more and more attractive to end users.
Yea, there is something about all the attention on this thing that stresses me out. Its a prototype, right? There is going to be things that appear bad, but its really just a treasure chest of data.
It's somewhat impressive that the actual nuclear warhead didn't so much as leak. Which is what's supposed to happen but still you don't usually design something to withstand a botched missile launch capable of 'catapulting' a 740 ton door.

Water is lighter than liquid oxygen (which is what this tank would be holding in "production"). For the purposes of this test, they were likely using liquid nitrogen, which has ~80% the mass of water.
Thank you for your advice!

> If possible, avoid lots of canvas calls. For example, if you want to draw something simple like a bunch of boxes on the screen, grab the pixel array from the canvas and manipulate it directly, don't call `ctx.rect` in a for loop.

I think this is likely what's causing me the most trouble. The problem is that my game needs to draw many hundreds of circles, each of different colors/sizes. Perhaps I need to pre-render these to an off-screen canvas and then do some blitting.

I'm also tempted now to try what someone else suggested and target WebGL instead (likely via Pixi.js).
What if the human emotional state is a byproduct of human consciousness. In that way, it isn't something that can just be chopped off as unnecessary.

While happiness doesn't guarantee success, it sure has hell makes it easier to work hard!

The darkest year of my life was sophomore year in college. I wasn't doing well in my classes, so I dropped some hobbies to make more time to study. I got out of shape, gained weight, lost touch w/ my friends, put more pressure on myself to make all of these sacrifices "worth it," and welp – my grades never improved.

The next year, I fell in love w/ this boy.

After what most people call a downward spiral, I essentially fell straight into an upward spiral! Falling in love was (and still is)... inspiring. I got back into shape, rejoined all of the teams and activities I had quit, and also got straight A's in not four, not five, but all six of my classes (at MIT).

Being happy doesn't magically transport you to the finish line, but it certainly makes running the race more enjoyable. As the quote says, happiness is indeed fuel.

And lastly, I don't know if you're proud of yourself for losing so much weight, but you ought to be! When I get out of shape, my goal usually starts out as "I want to feel good in my body." But every time I start the process (and it happens frequently because I'm a bit of a yo-yo-er), I start to get really geeked by the progress. Progress is one of the only things that reliably and consistently makes me happy. (It's the best!!!)

Does anyone else have this recaptcha logo visible at all times in the bottom right? Wondering if I'm the only one whom it creeps out that a Google logo is there the whole time for some reason.

Public good tokens aren't meant to be ownership rights to that public good. Instead of tokenizing the Amazon (the rainforest), you'd tokenize an outcome, like the reforestation of the Amazon. If done right, the valuation of that token becomes how much that public good is valued.

An overly simplistic way of doing that for the Amazon is to issue 100 tokens every year and distribute them to people that planted trees in the Amazon. If someone plants 20% of all new trees this year, they get 20 tokens.

I'm ignoring a lot of challenges like making sure these trees are actually planted, and that they'll survive, and that these planters aren't the same people destroying other trees. But if you address these challenges then you have a token whose supply growth is limited and that allows investors to create a market for people to compete with each other to plant the most trees in the Amazon.

At the very least, it's a much better way of investing in Amazon reforestation than a donation, and I'm sure many millions are donated for this every year. But more important you're creating a store of value token whose value is backed by its ability to create a public good - value that's never been stored before. If you scale that up, you're creating a lot of wealth and you're changing human behavior.
I wonder if this is just because developers aren't testing or using firefox frequently enough to catch such bugs? I maintain several internal web apps for my current company and am guilty of this, all our users use chrome, all our developers use chrome, so our app unintentionally works best in chrome.
You're not wrong that Starship has very thin walls, but they're actually quite thick compared to some rockets. There are rockets in use today that have to be pressurized to avoid collapsing under their own weight.

There must be some kind of communication error going on. I don't know much about RCU, so I just pulled up this webpage:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/RCU/whatisRCU.txt

In it is:

> The rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock() primitive read-acquire and release a global reader-writer lock.

Seems like RCU-operations in the Linux kernel are defined in acquire-barrier and release-barrier terms. I heard a while ago that RCU could be discussed in terms of release-consume semantics (which are slightly faster but harder to understand...) but very few people understand release-consume.

As such, release-acquire is probably the memory model of the future. I'm not really aware of anything aside from: Fully Relaxed (unordered), the obscure release-consume, release-acquire, and finally sequentially consistent (too slow for modern systems)

---------

Are you perhaps confusing "acquire-release" semantics (which is a memory-barrier / cache coherence principle) with spinlocks perchance? Acquire-release seems to be the "Fastest-practical" memory consistency model. (Since Relaxed doesn't work, and release-consume is too confusing)

For more info on acquire-release, Preshing's blogposts are great: https://preshing.com/20130922/acquire-and-release-fences/

> The DA was freely elected by the people FOR these views.

That's debatable. Another perspective: Boudin was nobody's first choice, but because of ranked-choice voting and some political infighting among moderates that split the vote, Boudin took home the prize. See https://missionlocal.org/2019/11/s-f-election-wrap-how-could...

Which is not to say that he wasn't fairly elected, just that I seriously doubt he was specifically elected for his platform. The man is a Rhodes scholar, a great speaker, and got a lot of press, precisely the kind of person you vote for in ranked-choice after you've checked off your top pick(s).

For example, Boudin did well among the Chinese community, which is generally conservative. But their first choice was Tung, a moderate-conservative who supported prosecution of quality of life crimes at least as strongly as currently. As the SF Chronicle put it, "Tung was a natural choice for Chinese voters, who make up a third of the city’s voters, and Boudin campaigned heavily in the Chinese community. He speaks some Cantonese and Mandarin and won the endorsement of the Sing Tao Daily, the largest Chinese language newspaper in the Bay Area. That could be a reason he won a lot of Tung’s second-choice votes, even though their politics were at opposite ends of the candidate spectrum." https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/heatherknight/article/Ho...

As the Mission Local implied, this is the sort of oddball result you can sometimes get from "the fetid rabbit hole of San Francisco club politics, that perfect amalgamation of Tracy Flick and the Soviet politburo." (That quote is just amazing. Are there journalism prizes for soundbites? 'cause that journalist deserves one.)

I've been in the industry for decades as a engineer/programmer/developer, and I've never gotten RSI. I'm a big fan of the old IBM Model M mechanical keyboards with the buckling springs. I know it's not as cool as some of the things available or that people in this thread are making, but it gets the job done. It's also heavy and doesn't slide around, it has a metal bottom chassis and in case of an attack on your office, you could potentially use it as a shield or weapon.

Years ago after I got into Linux, I got one of these and it's still going strong. One of the best purchases I've ever made. Best of all, the Ctrl key is where it should be for *NIX people: https://www.pckeyboard.com/page/product/40PSA
For most people this will take more than an hour to master, but once you get to around five tosses and catches you've figured out the pattern and the rest is just practice.
That's an interesting take.

I wonder if other people would agree with that description, but it sounds almost palpable.
The aether was assumed to be a medium through which electromagnetic waves propagate - like sound through air, or waves through liquids and solids.
Starship needs to be reusable dozens of times, with no refit between launches (only refueling). Fuel is cheap; the vehicle needs to survive. It also needs to be reliable enough to carry people. They're not using razor-thin safety margins on it.
I think it'd be cooler to just renovate it to it's original state. How much would that cost? Probably considerably less.
I mean, they colluded with Apple et al with non-poaching agreements a long time ago.
Under the "Better parallelisation" section, you don't need to proxy methods for your sync.Mutex if you embed the type.

And your Lock() and Unlock() calls on FileReader would just work.

It seems the Darter Pro has the same keyboard as my Clevo PA70ES. Same layout, same hotkeys on the numpad. Any way to confirm that it's the same model? My keyboard's USB data:

idVendor 0x048d Integrated Technology Express, Inc.
idProduct 0x8910
bcdDevice 0.01
iManufacturer 1 ITE Tech. Inc.
iProduct 2 ITE Device(829x)

I'm asking because I wrote a user space driver for the keyboard LEDs. If it's the same model, maybe they'd be interested in taking a look at it:

I found a WMI driver in their repositories but it doesn't match the way my keyboard works:

I'm brazilian, and lived a big part of my life in a city where there were two religious groups who did ayahuasca. In my 20's, I had quite a lot of friends who tried it, with some doing it quite frequently and a few even joining the groups as full members. The experience I had with knowing them before and after ayahuasca not too different than with other drugs/hallucinogens: my friends related life-changing events, consciousness expanding trips etc, yet I could never figure out any change they had that I or different friends achieved through literature, art, music, philosophy, or plain just growing older and trying to become smarter or a better person. The funniest thing is, the guy who was most outspoken about his transformation, about feeling 'the wisdom of the plant spirits', and how all this here was 'a dream reality', after a few years became a cop. Another friend is today a wealthy corporate lawyer. I know I might get a lot of downvotes, but knowing all these people who took ayahuasca became actually a strong argument for a materialistic view of the whole thing. You drink it, you hallucinate, it gives you the lasting, powerful impression that it was more real than this "other" reality.
Yes, rockets are basically soda cans full of propellant with rocket engines on the bottom and the payload usually on the top.

They are entirely constrained by thrust versus mass, so the designers make the structure as light/thin as possible while still being able to handle the acceleration forces when fuelled and pressurised.

If the weight of the rocket itself is too high it will not be able to lift any payload. If it is too light it falls apart in flight (or in one spectacular case, crumples in on itself when pressurisation fails).
It might well be that that's what was happening - validating her emotional concern. But, you know, I'm an engineer. "Validate her emotional concern" isn't really in my toolbox. "Listen for five minutes" is something I can figure out how to do.
My little business uses PG. Had a unique need for PK IDs. It was pretty easy to make a little extension in C to generate them for us, and linking in PG was super easy (but the .so has to be on replica before loading) and we only used the TEXT type cause I didn't want to figure out making a new 128bit data-type. But can't do this in RDS.
It's not really a technical difficulty, aside from the fact that the unifi controller works really badly on macos. (also, I specialize in infrastructure, so the LAMP stack isn't an issue)

I just find it impracticable to have to maintain a dedicated machine (or VM, or whatever it is) just to configure those routers.

Now, however, I realize that this is because my current office only has about 4 of those and we're a 70 people company. I imagine it starts making a lot more sense once you start handling a few dozen of wifi routers.

So I guess the overhead of using Unifi at a small company might not be worth it, but, passed a certain amount of routers I can understand the overhead is lessened.
Do you actually think it's an acceptable state of affairs for a company to be able to unilaterally put a non-competing and unrelated company out of business on a whim?
