Is that really the case that majority of accounts on matchmaking websites are made up? Why?

Here in Europe, definitely not the case. Sometimes there are blatant, obviously spam accounts that send links to porn and scam sites, i don't mean these. But other than that, i have yet to see an obviously fake profile being in Czech Republic or Belarus (here in Cyprus they are sort of a thing, but in a different way - people who don't really live here but looking for a man to pull them out of the sh*thole countries they live in, like Ukraine or Moldova, but they are still real people - i know coz i dated many of them). Why would that be any different in the U.S.? Are women for some reasons reluctant to join?

> Schedule the date for a Friday...

I always try to schedule my (and family and pets') operations or procedures on the first business days of the week: if something goes wrong I want the availability of every specialist around, and not having to wait until Monday in some hospital bed because the needed doctor/laboratory/operator doesn't work on weekends (at least in Italy, if you are not in life-threatening conditions, they make you wait).
oh, no. you are right. my mistake. I will delete it
It so happens that I’m doing the man vs horse race in Wales mentioned at the bottom of the article this year - and although I’ll be giving it my best, I’m not exactly optimistic of my chances. Only two runners have ever won since the race started in 1980, the first did the 24 mile course in 2 hours and 5 minutes, which is a amazing time given the terrain.

I think, over that shorter distance, the only reason men have won before is because the horses go through a vet check halfway - but that seems entirely reasonable given the risks.
We have subsidies in the Netherlands, but they're combined with a cap on tuition rates. (Although part of the tuition needs to be paid by students, for which they can get underwritten loans from the government.)

I wasn't sure what second quantization was so I lookep it up.

Full classical: physical quantities are scalars (x, p), fields are classical fields (E, B)

Semiclassical (first quantization): physical quantities are now operators.

Full quantum (second quantization): all fields are now field operators.

from wikipedia, second quantization is a misnomer:

> The term "second quantization" is a misnomer that has persisted for historical reasons. At the origin of quantum field theory, it was incorrectly thought that the Dirac equation described a nrelativistic wave function (hence the mistaken "Dirac sea" interpretation), rather than a classical spinor field which, when quantized (like the scalar field), yielded a fermionic quantum field (vs. a bosonic quantum field).

> One is not quantizing "again", as the term "second" might suggest; the field that is being quantized is not a Schrödinger wave function that was produced as the result of quantizing a particle, but is a classical field (such as the electromagnetic field or Dirac spinor field) that was not previously quantized. One is merely shifting from a semiclassical treatment of the system to a fully quantum-mechanical one.
The version I remember has the mathematician thinking: "3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, so by mathematical induction, all odd numbers are prime".
I worked in Japan for a few years, mainly at small-ish software shops (some consulting shops, one making a CMS etc). We basically worked the same as I do in my home country (Australia) - 2 weeks sprints, JIRA, etc.

My personal experience is software is the same everywhere - some shops are organized, sprints etc, big on tests, others are waterfall and have basically no QA/testing.
Instead of this format,

Col.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: topAnchor, constant: 0).isActive = true

Col.leftAnchor.constraint(equalTo: leftAnchor, constant: 0).isActive = true
Col.rightAnchor.constraint(equalTo: rightAnchor, constant: 0).isActive = true

I prefer:

NSLayoutConstraint.activate([

Col.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: topAnchor, constant: 0),

Of course not. It was all part of the same ruse. If the MAX simulator behaved differently, it would have been that much more difficult to say that no training was needed.

The most notorious example is a time-delayed chemical fuse, it uses a slow chemical reaction to detonate the bomb a few days later, as a form of psychological warfare. If the bomb didn't explode as designed, it means the chemical somehow got stuck, extremely dangerous to defuse, no matter how much prior knowledge one has.
> Can you please elaborate here? I don't understand what you mean. It is already the case that you can not relicense software under and incompatible license.

According to some groups (Canonical, Nvidia, VMware etc.) you can use proprietary/incompatible licenses with (not in) the Linux kernel by using a shim. This shim construction or other compatibility layers relies on the argument that you don't have to relicense at all, but that just using/implementing the API is fine.

The Oracle case has the possibility of changing this logic completely, making all shims/compatibility layers illegal and possibly making all software GPL.
This tomography paper about these tiny organisms is also available https://www.nature.com/articles/ismej200899.pdf

According to the paper these are 300-400nm across.

edit: If you assume a radius of 200nm and a carbon spacing of 3 angstroms, you can make a pure carbon perimeter that encloses it out of about 4200 carbon atoms.

>And this is loan is made contingent on the promise that graduating from university will grant you a middle-class job, which in the case of being underwater in student loan debt, means they failed to provide.

That's not necessarily true. In this case, he got a job at a law firm, but chose to quit it because he realized he didn't like the career. Now I don't think he should have been forced to work as a lawyer, but let's not claim that all instances of being underwater are because the university didn't keep the promise of getting you a good job.

mean it only intercepts the read syscall? Seems like any security someone was hoping to provide with this could be bypassed entirely by accident (e.g. a script in a language that always uses readv).

Anyway if that is what it means you should probably not describe this as “to run untrusted code”.

Can someone explain how Airplane Simulators for pilots work?

Do simulators have the same hardware as real planes, or do they have a software model of the airplane?

If you simulated a broken AoA sensor, would the simulated plane behave similar to the real plane? Would the MCAS system have the same bugs in the simulator as in the one in the real aircraft?

Can you try new scenarios in a simulator, or can you just try scenarios that the simulator was designed to run?

sorry for the soft approach, but I don't think the answer is "don't waste time", I think the answer is "be a bit more friendly to yourself".

I think you're assuming that lenders care what kind of degree you have. Someone who takes a few gap years to establish savings and credit will end up with better interests rates. As it should be. Kids should rack up a few years in the real world before they drop 80-200k and ruin their lives with debt.

I don't think this is a reliable indicator. When you take a look at the target market of discord, it becomes pretty clear why no one really cares about the data being decrypted.
The main audiences for discord are gamers and massive open communities. The first group is unlikely to discuss any sensitive topic via discord and it's not unlikely that a lot of discord users even stream their sessions publicly. The majority of conversations are likely to be game-related and not of private nature.
For the huge open communities, encryption doesn't help to improve privacy when everyone can join anyways. If you want to grow a big and healthy community where everyone can join, the 3-letter agencies might as well join the voice channel rather than being the mitm.

I haven't met anyone who is using discord as an alternative for WhatsApp, Telegram, etc., from my experience, discord is mainly used for on-topic discussions rather than private communications.

And as other comments suggest, there are legitimate reasons why discord might want to decrypt the communications on their end. Plus, I have never seen any claims by discord to be p2p encrypted.
This page provides an atrocious autotranslate into my language without asking. I guess the original article is in english and one can switch that, but please don't do this.

Do not automatically provide bad autotranslation as default, especially if the user does accept the original language. You can prominently hint at that feature, but do not force it.

Same. Any tool/infra that threatens the culture/statu-quo from the power structure will be, at best, impactless, at worst, will trigger a real internal war that will resolve with layoffs (been there - it ended bad for everyone).

It _has to_ come from the group culture, which is empowered by the good will of the power structure, that comes from the top (investors, board, executive managers).

If it's not there, it will never be, change lanes.

Edit to add:

And if it _is_ there, it might go, because it's a fragile equilibrium (any change of course in the management/board can be a red flag).

> Even the echo example hints, that the created pipe has a name

Well, the echo example shows that the pipe is reified at /dev/fd/63 (or /dev/fd/62 for the other pipe).

That's not a named pipe. It's a file descriptor identified by the integer that defines it, accessed under the /dev/fd listing of all file descriptors.

So, to sort of answer your questions:

> How does diff know to read from those two pipes?

They're two different pipes. Diff takes two arguments. Each argument is one of the pipes.

> (implied) Is there such a thing as an anonymous pipe, in any context?

Not if you consider /dev/fd/id-of-pipe to be a name. The operating system lists them all there. But usually you would use a named pipe if you wanted to be able to know the name, so that you could find it again if you didn't already have a reference to it. If you jammed your finger into my chest, I would be there, and my physical form would block the passage of your finger analogously to how an anonymous pipe nevertheless exists as an entry (two entries?) in /dev/fd. But that wouldn't tell you my name in the conventional sense, even though it would be a valid and unambiguous way to refer to me.
Try "Where are we going? Dad" on YouTube. Also HelloChinese is much better than Duolingo in my opinion.
I'll try to keep it short and informative:
1. New person in your family will put a high stress test on your marriage/relationship. (this is backed also by my friends experience)
2. First days are a SHOCK and will make you CHANGE YOUR LIFE. You'll have to accept it: it's not about you anymore, it's about your child.
3. First 6 months will be very hard - I mean things like little sleep etc. Also, there is no way you can understand such a small child. And even worse, they are extremely endangered by even the most stupid illness as there are no meds for them (so protect it as much as you can).
That may sound weak, but:
4. After 6 months you'll be much better :)
5. If you accept your situation, you'll probably make some improvements in how you spend your time (weaking up earlier and sleep 6 hours, eat better food, spend your free time productive, because it's so little, you really value it).
6. By spending time with your child, if you have a little empathy, you'll be able to mentally travel back to your childhood and look through its eyes on the the world.
7. You'll never forget this feeling, when you have it in your arms (or rather on your hands) for the 1st time.
8. It's hard to describe, but your child will be like for you like the water in the desert.
9. In the end, rising a child is the only thing in your life (besides love) that matters. There are no people that regret working not enough, but most of them regret spending not enough time with their family.
All the best for you and your family :) From the time perspective, you'll see it's the best that happend to you :)
Anthropologists are not qualified to decide whose job is bullshit and neither is anyone else. That's the whole premise of the book. Anthropologists however are trained to listen to what people say about their own lives and understandings of it and that's what I did - a bullshit job is defined as one which the person doing the job believes doesn't have to, or shouldn't, exist.

Yes its simply missing in the WebRTC spec. webRTC defines end-to-end encryption between two peers. But if you want to transmit data to many peers you need a server which is doing the fanout so the encryption is client1<->server and server<->client2.

This is true for all WebRTC implementations/services. They all state having end-to-end encryption but dont tell you that it means something different in WebRTC contexts.

PERC will solve this one day, but its sadly just a draft: https://webrtcglossary.com/perc/
Note for C++ on the CLR that you can use /clr:safe as an MSVC compilation argument. This errors out when trying to access to random pointers at compile time.

/clr:pure uses unsafe and supports those cases though.

And yeah, WebAssembly only doing bounds checking within a single memory block and not actually offering true bounds checking is a big downgrade, and a pretty much unjustified one (+ it's rare among JITted languages...).

Which company would accept (and pay for that) given there's no legal requirement for it?

I don't see why I wouldn't trust DDG in relation to their alternatives

I'm interested in hearing more about its general design. I've been thinking about knowledge theory since 2012 and my current solution is to attach a broad privately-curated knowledge base (ended up simplifying to a markdown-git repo for now) on top of a high-tech engineering business for results-driven credibility/cashflow.

Consider the modern landscape of information.

Wikipedias are exhaustive and generic. Therefore inefficient (full of low-value ideas, distorted learning curve). Anti-promotion policy against spam also disrupts linking to great resources. Best for basic descriptions and factual details.

Search engines are keyword-dependent and unfiltered. Therefore unfollowable (no idea progression map, ex. index) and requires active trust/relevance/value filtering (volatile, learning-rate-limited by current skill level). Best for targeted navigation (ex. find a local bus route) and first-step wide-index exploration (initial net thrown to catch better keywords/resources).

Forums/Q&A involve waiting for answers within a permitted-QA context. Therefore slow, not guaranteed, indexed chronologically not logically, usually brief/incomplete. Best for popcorn-community exploration and immediate needs for new info.

Thanks! The motions detected are pretty subsonic, so probably aren't expected to affect the hydrostatic equilibrium assumption significantly. We're measuring bulk flows, however, and not the turbulent width. There are some other recent observational results suggesting that the hydrostatic assumption isn't too bad: https://arxiv.org/abs/1805.00034

Yes - there was a lot of work behind this paper, and most of it was on trying to get the calibration procedures we developed to work. It was a long process of trying things and seeing what worked and testing the results for consistency. Initially I thought it would be a lot simpler, but real detectors in space are complex things.

Another engineer at the very beginning and sales person with domain knowledge when rough prototype is on the table (I am in hardware business). The biggest issue with being alone is that nobody is funding single person ventures, bus factor is too high. Though I am not sure, if hardware ideas are easy to align with venture capital growth mantra in general. Maybe I will stay relatively small in small niche, that would satisfy me.
