Reminds of me the Three Body Problem series. The "droplet" was a perfect mirror because a mystery reflective material was tied together using the strong force.

So I guess that means the "perfect" mirror must be bound by strong forces.
its a free service that they are providing as a social good in a strange time when more parents and more kids are spending more time on the internet than ever before. It wasn't malicious, there was no harm done, and like everyone else their resources are at leas unbalanced if not constrained right now.
Would accepting disaster relief checks or getting the covid-19 loans forgiven can get us being a “public charge” and block us from getting immigration benefits?
This average isn't quite right, since it assumes that everyone is in the program for the full 12 months. That's certainly not the case. (In fact, many people without dependents are limited to 3 months of SNAP in 3 years.)
And the "Pentium" itself, arguably, being a "penta-" name coming after the 80486.

But the Pentium broke the numbering scheme to an extent, with the Pentium Pro wedged between the Pentium and Pentium II.
One cannot ban soda (or other unhealthy foods), see what happened with the uproar over choice over a minor tax on soda in NYC. You can not provide it at your establishment though. That's what I'm advocating for; free food (basics or prepared), but only healthy food. Making something difficult to obtain is somewhat equivalent to banning it, without the fight. "Choice" is what got us into the problem of so many having "Western" disease [1] (overweight, pre-diabetes do to diet choices).

Small nudges [2] in the right direction. If I'm providing free meals for those who need it, I'm going to provide water (cheap, healthy, and readily available in the developed world) with it, not a can of Coke.

Don't forget to also consider what your users might need. So, unless you're developing a game or an application that does something inherently visual (e.g. a graphics editor), the lack of accessibility support (at least in the native version) should be a show-stopper. I'm a little surprised it's not even on the roadmap.
To piggyback on what siblings point out, focusing on the total expenditure often leads one to different conclusions than focusing on the benefit available per-person per-day. It is much more insightful and meaningful to assess the efficacy of a program like SNAP by recognizing it’s $4 per day, or $1.33 per meal (and assumes an individual only drinks tap water).

More importantly, there’s something wrong when a society is organized and operated in such a way that people have to rely on private charities and religious organizations to be fed. That’s a signal of social failure—especially when food is abundant. I’d suggest a more nuanced conversation should focus on the ways in which offloading a problem to charitable organizations enables people to ignore the problem by means of letting them feel good about themselves for donating time/supplies—which wouldn’t be needed if we ensured the problem didn’t exist in the first place.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M4_(computer_language)#History

I see it as a more powerful version of CPP. It might be somewhat based on it. CPP seems to have been developed in 1972-3[1], while M4 was developed in 1977.

Today, I think we're using template systems like Mustache, Handlebars, ERB, Jinja, etc. where otherwise macro systems would be used. The difference between macro systems / preprocessors and templates is that the latter comes with syntax (like <%= %> for ERB) that always makes it clear what's handled by the template system. With M4 and CPP, it's implicit and instead you have syntax (`' or []) to exclude stuff from being handled by the macro system.

I think that change is because, before, macro systems were meant to be used mainly with programming languages to avoid repetition. Then, programming languages became concise and more flexible, so they didn't need to be handled by another language like C has CPP. Our need changed to having to avoid repetition with data files like HTML.

Perhaps having implicit expansion when used with an underlying programming language is not so much an issue, or at least it could be handled with a convention like how CPP variables and functions are normally capitalized. With data files, I suppose being able to differentiate between what's HTML and what's ERB was probably more important.

I assume to show how neglected this has gotten. MacOS Server used to be a lot more popular and a lot more loved.

I understand this isn't a remotely core part of their business, but I don't understand why you would want such a quarter-assed product out there with your name on it.

A small team, which Apple can afford, could keep this a good offering that helps out certain kinds of Mac users.
That might be selection bias: those who look for you are mostly concerned about performance. And performance is usually not "solved" -- it's often a treadmill where hardware and software performance is trying to outrun the data growth -- so people who need performance are constantly coming back for more (usually with a pile of cash).

A lot of users case mostly about accessibility, simplicity, integration with existing experience/tools (e.g. JSON), managability, ecosystem, etc. Those users might be happy from the start; or if they aren't happy, they complain for a while until their problem is solved, and then go silent.

My dad has spent almost all of his free time, for the last 40-50 yrs, as an amateur pseudo-scientist, including spiritism and syncretism, practicing a good subset of beliefs and rituals spliced from Christian, African and Asian religions.

He has been a part of different communities or groups at times (kardecists, candomblé and buddhists to name a few), as a teacher and practitioner (ie. "medium" and "doctor") but never did any of it for money (or power), afaik, but as a spiritually fulfilling hobby. Besides practicing things like issuing homeopathic treatments to the sick, having a very lively shrine at our different homes, reading and teaching at study sessions, and a hack-load of strange rituals, he also did plenty of charity and fundraisers for the needy in our different communities.

Now he's semi-retired and focus mostly on Reiki.

I grew up believing our home-equivalent of a "religion" (my mom is also a believer) to be the absolute and undeniable truth. It took me years to unlearn and today I'm quite the unattached, worldly person I've become.

After watching dozens of people benefit or suffer under these rituals, is that there IS more good in it than bad. In the case of Reiki specifically, it's the "science" of comfort. The amazing feeling of human proximity, human touch and humane social interaction is very energizing and therapeutical. Reiki is different from mindfulness and meditation (which my dad taught me when I was 7) but not unlike them, is tied to healing activities practiced since ancient times and has many psychological, or even evolutionary, explanations on where its benefits come from. But its science is not linked in any way to quantum physics or energy as such. There's just no way my dad is actually sending me Reiki from 8000 miles away! He does try, though.

Today I accept their beliefs, as I accept Reiki, and my only gripe is how my parents judgement was, at times, completely impaired by their faith, as they use it as a substitute (not a complement) to real science, in particular, as a proxy for a visit to a doctor. Or an "Earth doctor" like my dad used to say. As they've aged, they've also tuned down their rhetoric as only "Earth doctors" can install pacemakers.

And that's the real damage Reiki, as many other treatments, inflicts: it can easily become a proxy therapy to real medicine and science, out of fear, money, conspiracies or plain dumbness. Maybe the way forward would be for (Western) science to embrace the study of spiritual therapies, so it can be understood and applied by the medical profession, which would help hinder obscurity and quackery. But I guess that's just what makes them appealing to so many people.
We're fortunate to be in a position where the profit incentive has led to a situation where, when there is a disruption in the demand distribution points (restaurants), the biggest problem is that we have too much production.

Without the profit incentive, we have seen time and again, far more severe disruptions to the food supply (USSR, Venezuela, DPRK). Capitalism does not provide for everyone, but it does an excellent job of providing for the vast majority of people. Charity and welfare programs are a good supplement to that, but profit itself is an immensely powerful and useful tool to keep people fed.
I hear what you're saying, but at the same time, mrustc is almost a counterexample of that. And we have real counterexamples in other languages too; Ruby and Python, for example.

(My understanding of mrustc and borrowck is that it's not implemented because the primary initial goal is bootstrapping rustc, not being a general rust compiler.)
Think so? I didn’t know Apple even made a server package since 2010 or so. I bought a Mini so I could have a low cost, decently specced desktop Mac hooked up to my two large monitors at home. An iMac was too expensive and I’d rather use standalone displays anyway. We also have lots of them in my wife’s office for the same reasons.
There are numerous stories of startups that do in fact care for their employees.

Does anybody have a solution for solving recaptchas yourself while using puppeteer?

I have some infrequent scraping tasks for personal that hit a recaptcha at most once an hour, and are not time sensitive and can be retried later.

I would really love to find a way, that when the scraper hits a recaptcha, I get somehow notified and can solve it by hand (remotely).

However, the only solutions I’ve found up to date were paid recaptcha solvers
To be honest, I always kind of lol at these kinds of rants. Wishing for the "one true payment system" is like thinking that everyone will switch over to speaking Esperanto in the near future. NEVER going to happen.

Also, many of his gripes seem ridiculous. I don't know if the situation is different in Europe, but in the US I think pretty much everyone should have a credit card. You can use a secured card if you have bad credit, and most debit cards in the US can be swiped as a credit card. All of his non-existent problems seem like they could be fixed by getting a credit card. Credit cards also have better fraud protection, let you build credit, and usually have better rewards for consumers. There is virtually no difference in privacy benefits between credit and debit cards.

At first glance it seems difficult for some or counterproductive for others. But that's what I'm doing for the past 12 months. Before the day starts, look at some code and augment it or at least delete it then replicate it. It doesn't matter the language, it doesn't matter if you are going to do Code Reviews all day and actually you will remove code. Just do it.
A Collection of Plain Text Tools
I don't think this would actually compete. It would more likely be a compliment for certain kinds of usecases.

Apple just doesn't seem to care to put in the effort. I don't think their neglect of MacOS Server has anything to do with trying to protect their cloud offerings. Even a wildly successful MacOS Server strategy wouldn't be that much revenue versus some of their other lines, but it could provide real value and help to certain kinds of businesses and users.
Another Prove
I personally don't think that ~10% of people who are in the low food security box are doing great. They still seemed to do horribly in some of the metrics they gathered. For example, 80% of them felt they could not afford a balanced meal.

Then if you look at the very low security group, roughly 4% or 5 million people, it gets really worrisome. 32% of households said an adult had gone an entire day without eating anything.

And I think this is compounded by something like Covid-19. 85% and 95% of the low and very low food security groups said they were worried food would run out. What happens to them when people make a run on the stores like this last month? Their ability to buy food is strongly tethered to the day of the month when their EBT card is reloaded.

I think a lot of this is subjective, and globally the US is doing quite well compared to all countries. But I suspect we do poorly compared to other industrialized/advanced economies.
Of course you need to have them, but there's no specification of their behavior, so your only hope at compatibility is reverse-engineering the existing implementation (or just reading its code).
Thank you Peter for doing this.

I watch that site a lot and I've noticed that you see far fewer 737 and A320 class flights then you used to over upstate NY, but still some regional jets.

I agree the clips they show are a bit awkward, but it might not be intrinsic to the resolution, but rather the sudden change in workflow disrupting the artists. Maybe they will adapt over time. Hopefully it's not a tradeoff where higher resolutions result in a more difficult animation workflow.
It's far, far easier to prepare halal food than kosher food, in that the halal rules are mostly just around ingredients. Kosher gets a _lot_ more complicated.

For instance, essentially all vegetarian food is halal, but it probably isn't kosher.

That's a bad headline. It implies that nothing else influences gene expression, when the article says that physical stretching of force-sensitive histones can influence gene expression, without the assistance of any other factors.

To be clear, factors other than physical force can also influence gene expression.

As the epidemiologist quoted in the article points out, the sample size is too small to generalise - and he adds further, weighty caveats. But rates of asymptomatic infection, and transmission, are surely crucial to establish to inform best-practice response.
M4 has some well-known uses like Sendmail and GNU Autoconf, but I don’t think this can be counted in M4’s favor: For operating in a standard Unix-like environment, there is really no good alternative to m4 for generic text macro expansion. You can try to force cpp – the C preprocessor – into this, but it is not suited to not being part of a C compiler pipeline. For better or for worse, m4 is it in the world of Unix and shell tools, even though its syntax is quite annoying to use.

Of course, if you operate within a language ecosystem, you can probably find a nice templating system there. Python, for instance, has Jinja2. Or, if your needs are simple, you can use something more basic, like sed(1).

What's the best way to clear up your immigration record?

I also like old (although mainly physics) papers like that. Even relatively recent things prior to the deep scattering of the proton (the discovery of the quarks) - Feynman pondering in a completely incorrect direction is quite fun.

It's slightly depressing how far we've come and how willfully stupid some people are (anything from denying global warming to hippies and 5G), although I wouldn't disagree if you were to argue that the only thing that really matters is medicine and food at the end of day.
I would love if this were the new normal. Food for anyone, no questions asked? That's an America I'm proud of.
No. I'm pointing to the relativity of the term.

Anything can be said to have, or not have a purpose, depending on how broadly or narrowly you scope the definition.

For use in this conversation, I think it's self evident that the level of purpose exhibited by higher-complexity organisms is several orders of magnitude different than that of basic organisms.
