You used to be able to start dragging an icon from the home screen, use your other hand to open another app, then drop the dragged app over it to start split screen, but they nerfed it in iOS 13 for some reason. Completely undiscoverable of course, but at least it sped things up slightly. Having to open the second app full screen and then drag the other out of the dock's "recent" segment is just so clunky.

You can also drag an icon out of the search UI when you're in another app, but only if you have a keyboard attached, because other than Cmd+Space there's no longer a way to access Spotlight without going back to the home screen.

Absolutely bonkers.
We’re barely out of the MVP stage, but I already see at least two major differences:

- Javascript based custom transformations

- Specific focus on Webhooks (we’re compatible out of the box with Slack, Google Chat, Discord and really whatever else has a webhook API)

Not everything that says “Change tracking” is the same product.
Have you considered how these elements essentially detached from the body (it's why they'd be able to spin around) would grow and the like?

Same here. I surprised myself by shedding a few tears, but they were happy tears for a man and life well lived. His living example and teachings helped me in many ways over the years, starting with the practice of living in the moment or "Be Here Now" up to his talks on subjects like addiction. Here he discusses his own addiction to food and the anxiety behind it: Overcoming Addiction & Attachment - Ram Dass https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bV7PyQDod40
I'm not the parent but while you are correct that it is the same, I would not overlook the order of magnitude of difference in effort required either. If you were learning Mandarin instead of Spanish for instance, the process would be the same but everything would take ~4x as long, and based on the attrition rates I've seen from English->Chinese learning, you'd be more likely to quit before being able to read a 3rd grade passage.

> Curious to see how a spiritual adept would react to LSD, Alpert gave Maharaj-ji a whopping dose. It had zero effect on the holy man.

This is oversimplified and maybe a bit misleading.

Ram Dass's own account[1] of giving Neem Karoli Baba the "Yogi Medicine" is more colourful and to me suggests that there was some effect and that the Baba was able to tolerate it for the first hour, after which Ram Dass was possibly not present with the Baba for further observations.

But you’re not talking about Postgres or MySQL. You’re talking about a larger bespoke system where one of the components is MySQL. The system you’re describing has:

* An object store

* A bespoke mechanism for defining schemas

* A bespoke mechanism for querying data

* A bespoke mechanism for mutating data

* A bespoke mechanism for enforcing relationships

* A bespoke mechanism for enforcing check constraints

The performance bottlenecks I described are not vague at all. They are well known constraints of RDBMS. To come into a discussions about such constraints and say “well if you only use the RDBMS for object storage, and then implement your own bespoke systems to replace all other RDBMS functionality with something completely different, then you don’t need to worry about that” is completely asinine, and to claim that such a system is still an RDBMS is just factually wrong.

You might be an excellent distributed system engineer, but it really seems like you don’t actually know what an RDBMS is.
I don't know what happened there. I certainly didn't do that intentionally. I thought I just copied the title. I think I did and then the magazine revised their headline. Mods, please fix it.
He found peace in the stroke. It wasn't entirely bad, and he'd probably laugh that you felt more strongly about it than he did. Here's an interesting interview with him on just that:

The context has an unofficial name "crypto wars":

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypto_Wars

"In the U.S." since "the immediate post WWII period" the "crypto software was included as a Category XIII item into the United States Munitions List." That meant that exporting software with strong encryption was legally the same as exporting weapons.

What they Ray Ozzie and colleagues implemented was at that moment (1996) claimed to be a "superior exportable encryption technology when compared to
other US products on the market":

https://packetstormsecurity.com/files/21281/lotus.notes.nsa....

To compare:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Export_of_cryptography_from_th...

To be able to export Netscape web browser with SSL (a predecessor of TLS) "Netscape developed two versions of its web browser. The "U.S. edition" supported full size (typically 1024-bit or larger) RSA public keys in combination with full size symmetric keys (secret keys) (128-bit RC4 or 3DES in SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0). The "International Edition" had its effective key lengths reduced to 512 bits and 40 bits respectively (RSA_EXPORT with 40-bit RC2 or RC4 in SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0).[6] Acquiring the 'U.S. domestic' version turned out to be sufficient hassle that most computer users, even in the U.S., ended up with the 'International' version,[7] whose weak 40-bit encryption can currently be broken in a matter of days using a single computer."

Only later:

"In January 2000, the U.S. Government relaxed export regulations over certain classes of mass-market encryption products. In line with these changes, Netscape has made the strong-crypto versions of Communicator and Navigator available worldwide." (1)

Sub-perceptual in what sense? In escalating order...

You can't tell any obvious distortion in your perception of reality? [This is the meaning I usually hear discussed].

You can't look back over the past day and say "hm, that was different from when I was not dosed-- I was a little less effective".

You can't tell any difference over the past 6 mos of microdosing?

You can't tell any difference between a microdosed and placebo group in an RCT?

There is no difference at all between microdosed and placebo in reality?

In the end, if we can't notice some difference somehow, why bother? ;)
General data handling guidelines: moderate success.
Web-facing "consent", cookie management etc: total disaster.
It's the new normal
> it is cool to think negatively of the world it seems to me.

This is one of these temporary fashions, with several factors at play such as Trump rising to power and climate change. But if you take many other into account, such as violent crime from the 80s/90s, we're living in a paradise. As a human, you can handle a limited number of factors. So it really boils down to a personal choice at this point.
It's likely HN's common error fixer. You and the magazine probably did nothing wrong, don't worry.

Blanket forced consent in terms "we need to track you because we have a business need, take that or leave", despite being explicitly prohibited in all GDPR-related guidelines is still something you get away with.

Also one word: Facebook.
The pivot to Thorium is to some extent a marketing issue. The "amazing safe economical" modern reactors have a tarnished reputation, possibly irreversibly so, given the political unpopularity today.
fork is not friendly to concurrent programming: fibers/threads/callbacks - what should you do with all this after fork?

While it is possible to create and manage some rules, it is simpler not to fork at all.
No that's not what I'm saying. If you look at the quote I mentioned, the person was suggesting we "socially engineer" data sets in order to "preventing existing systemic inequalities from being encoded in AI systems".

This has wider implications and tacit-meanings that I think I picked up on and definitely implies doing more than just having an equal sampling of each racial group. How that would be enacted, I don't know. The point is to not swing the pendulum the other way in order to "fix things" as it'll cause problems down the line, but to rather just "fix things" in the most non-intrusive and fair way.
> The reason scientists aren't saying such things, is because it's pretty clearly wrong.

Scientists, like every members of society, are bound by social rules. Some taboo cannot be broken, and when they are its a career ending move. It’s easier to get founding by inventing 126 genders that don’t exist than saying a few obvious truths, that are backed by science.
To any podcast listener I highly recommend: Ram Dass Here and Now.

It along with reading the Bhagavad Gita certainly changed my life and mindset forever.
Your comment is leaving out the last part, which is crucial:

And then we waited. After some time he pulled the blanket over his face, and when he came out after a moment his eyes were rolling and his mouth was ajar and he looked totally mad. I got upset. What was happening? Had I misjudged his powers? After all, he was an old man (though how old I had no idea), and I had let him take twelve hundred micrograms. Maybe last time he had thrown them away and then he read my mind and was trying to prove to me he could do it, not realizing how strong the “medicine” really was. Guilt and anxiety poured through me. But when I looked at him again he was perfectly normal and looking at the watch.

At the end of an hour it was obvious nothing had happened. His reactions had been a total put-on. And then he asked, “Have you got anything stronger?” I didn’t. Then he said, “These medicines were used in Kullu Valley long ago. But yogis have lost that knowledge. They were used with fasting. Nobody knows now. To take them with no effect, your mind must be firmly fixed on God. Others would be afraid to take. Many saints would not take this.” And he left it at that.

Fedora 31 compiles everything with -fcf-protection. Of course it requires hardware support before it actually does anything, and there is a lot of missing support in the non-C toolchain and in certain packages. You can use "annocheck" to check if a particular binary is compiled with full control flow protection or not, eg:

$ annocheck -v /usr/bin/ls
[...]
Hardened: /usr/bin/ls: PASS: Compiled with -fcf-protection.
touch base here: "Be here now" transformed my brainz too. afaik Ram Dass is well and alive, and will be for many years to come
Time will do it for some people, but not for everyone. For instance I come from the north-east of England and had a very strong accent which people outside of the area struggle to understand. I then lived in other parts of England for several years and the accent slowly went away. I now have a fairly standard English accent that everyone can understand.

I know other people from the area that have lived away from home for 20 years and still sound exactly how they used to!

Also my accent comes back when I speak to people from "home".

My Spanish also improved with alcohol and a few months travelling around south america, where people are far less picky about the language than they would be in Spain and not too many local people speak English.
> Religious ideology creates thinking patterns of the blame is on the victim

What now?
After a lifetime use of Android and Windows I switched a month ago to Catalina MacOS, as my very first mac experience. The experience has been amazing so far, at the moment of unlocking I instantly fell in love with the instantness of the logging in. On windows this will, always, take atleast 1 second of black screen.

While I am relatively up to speed with most basic things of this OS, I must admit that I severely underestimated the scope of change. All the tiny things, like copy pasting a snipping tool screenshot into a chat, or just saving a file to a certain location, need another approach. I enormously miss the omnipowerful CTRL x/c/v combination windows had, and I still have a hard time teaching my motorics to differ between the CTRL and CMD and OPTION when manipulating the cursor. Also the WINDOWS LOGO BUTTON + arrow keys, to move screens around the display is missing and I need to buy an App for that. The price seemed to be around 8eu for a 2 year license but I'd wager that'd be pretty default behavior for an OS - even Ubuntu has it. Though it's somewhat refreshing to buy an app and knowing you're not still the product, but I expected to be their either way.

Overall I really do love the experience on Mac and I think that in a year's time I am above and beyond my productivity on Windows.
Also one thing I'd like to commend Apple for is the readability of their privacy policy regarding their use of data for advertising.

Not that much related, but it's one of the reason I love the game "baba is you" so much.

It explains nothing.

But it is carefully crafted to drive you in the right direction so that you discover things by yourself, step by step, from early to very late levels.

It's a very difficult balance for a puzzle game, espacially for something as original as baba is you, that requires you to think a lot out of the box:

- a level completly chalenges your perception of what you are as a player

- another one forces you to put yourself in a loosing position to win

- one requires an object that does not exist at all in the entire level

It's a joy to understand those new mechanisms. But it is a hard game, so it needs a way to help you without spoiling the fun of solving it.

If you like level design like me, it's a treat, and a good example of great tutoring.

Now as a teacher, I do that as well. But mixed to traditional teaching because I teach adults, and they want to compress the learning time and be productive fast, even at the price of a more superficial understanding.
Maybe it's time for a global reform on schools' approach. I see more and more that children aren't willing to attend school. And I think that's because the approach is the same in the past 30-40 years, at least in my country, Nothing changes, the literature is the same, the teaching methods are the same. I feel that there's a need of change.
Yeah, HyperCard was great. It was a wonderful experience when it was released.

The thing is, human consumption tend to rely on machine consumption. We want search engines to index our documents, and we want to be able to search within the documents. These features rely on machine parsability.

It is perfectly possible to generate a PDF file with none of the issues mentioned, the problem is that most people don't have the required control of their toolchain, and a lot of tools will create such issues by default.
I can't really speak to the financial or tax advantages of this setup - I've never been particularly good at these things.

But the big advantage to me is behavioral. If I have just a limited amount of money to spend in my account, I spend, well, a limited amount.

It's simpler and thus, easier to stick to than complicated rules that require more fiscal discipline
I'm sure it would seem like there is a link between the two somewhere, even if it is very threadbare or even spurious for that matter.

More principally, these things just seem very believable because being optimistic is just a positive attribute that society rewards and approves of much more than it does pessimism (some would say being pessimistic is almost an universal negative, some outlier societies notwithstanding).

This imparts a definite bias in the believability of the study, no matter what the findings of the study actually are - even if the study were to only indicate a mild association between being optimistic and longevity.

Just consider the findings of a study from some years ago:

"High social status has its privileges ­­when it comes to
aging – even in wild animals."

...

“High-ranking members in hyena clans reproduce more, they
live longer and appear to be in better overall health,” said
Nora Lewin, MSU doctoral student of zoology and co-lead
author. “If you want to see the hierarchy of spotted hyenas,
throw down some fresh meat near them. It’s quickly apparent
who’s dominant and who’s not.”

...

Lewin and her teammates focused on telomeres, caps at the end
of each strand of DNA that protect chromosomes from
deterioration. These biomarkers are regarded as important signs
of aging and stress in many species, including humans. Shrinking
telomeres are a signal that cells are sliding into defensive
mode, stressful actions that could soon lead to cells’ – and
to the organism’s – death.

“This work shows, for the first time, the effects of social
rank on telomere length in wild mammals,” Lewin said. “This enhances
our understanding of how social and ecological variables may
contribute to age-related declines of hyenas, and in organisms
in general.”[1]

High social status humans live longer lives is the natural assumption here even if the suggestion is only mild.

Such stuff seems more believable due to a chain of assumptions about - low status mammals, stress levels, food security, likelihood of physical harm etc.

Its safe to assume those, it would seem - however light the actual evidence for it.

There are scores of studies like this with very light suggestive conclusions yet the believability is high.

I just wish these things are fleshed out with a lot more rigor and thoroughness by the science journalists or journalists at large. This isn't trivial, easily ignored stuff. These things have real world consequences if true.

Very palpable, sizable and profound consequences on people's lives.

Imagine how alienating it must be to have no common cultural touchstones to share with other people.

We're already there when it comes to music. We have a lot of virtuoso musicianship today. You want top-tier jazz? You can find it. Bossa Nova? Yep. Orchestral arrangements? Those too. Blues and old-school rock? Still being made. But we no longer have music as a common cultural touchstone: everything's been atomized to hell, fragmented into perfectly-curated Spotify ML-recommended playlists. People no longer use music to connect to each other. It's more about individual hedonic enjoyment.

As goes music, so goes all entertainment and all media. When everything is perfectly tailored to each individual's preferences, what we're left with isn't so much culture (which in its essence is about commonality) as much as aesthetic pornography.
Absolutely, we've already been geo-engineering for the past 150 years by burning fossil fuels. The tricky part will be how to deal with different governments... what if a project to increase rainfall in the Gobi desert decreases rainfall in California?
I'm pretty libertarian, so I lean to simple solutions and my view on "fairness" is very non-complicated. I.e. Yes there may be bias in this technology we use, however, I would say that the important part we should really be focusing on is "how" that tech gets used, not the fact that it isn't perfect in some "unfair" kind of way. All sorts of things around us are unfair to all sorts of sub-groups of people that I don't think we should be going down this path and mixing government intervention in order to resolve it.

Yes, it's kinda unfair on some level that the algorithms used don't work so well on women/blacks/children/elderly as well as "white middle-aged men", but it's not unfair in the "government should do something about it" kind of way just yet. If someone gets misidentified, that doesn't mean police should just go out and "arrest" them. Rather we add a person into the mix and have them talk to that person, make a final call. That is actionable counter-case data that we can use to resolve the bias in the training sets.

A lot of facial-recognition systems include human components in order to resolve errors. E.g. I've worked with facial-recognition software here in South Africa that was developed by Asian companies where the majority of their data-sets and tests were using Asian individuals, so one has to manage error risk using humans in the loop.
