I was one of the top three students of my graduating high school class. I was constantly held up by teachers as basically the person to hate at school.

They would act like they were good teachers because I knew so much and act like other kids were just lazy and should "be more like me and just study more" which wasn't at all fair or accurate.

In eighth grade, I was friends with a Hispanic boy. The class was given the chance to do a thing for extra credit and it involved decoding something. Not only did he speak English as a second language, he had no idea what the thing actually was.

I got in trouble for telling him it's a letter substitution puzzle. I didn't know because I was smart. I knew because my father did the Crypto quote in the newspaper every single morning and would drag everyone else into it when he couldn't do it easily.

It was an early lesson in how unfair the world is. He had no hope at all of getting the extra credit because he had too many things stacked against him.

Anyway, I had few friends at school and it was a toxic social environment. I gave up a National Merit Scholarship in part to escape the toxic BS and figure out who I was other than some toxic asshole as taught to me by the school system as a survival mechanism.

If you have no friends and everyone hates you, yes, you learn to Lord it over everyone that "at least I'm smarter than you" as the only defense mechanism you have.

I finally found a thing that explains that it's our strengths that limit us. I've had enough serious problems in life that I've gotten to escape the prison the school system actively built for me, but it wasn't at all easy.

> Ironically, hieroglyphs evolved over time into phonetic meanings.

No, they didn't. The original creators of hieroglyphs knew how to use them to spell phonetically, but they didn't do it that often, they were satisfied with the old system (just as Chinese are now). It was a job of other people, who actually didn't know how to use hieroglyphs properly, to build a functioning alphabet on top of them. Two systems coexisted for some time, and then hieroglyphs went into decline with the whole culture that supported them.

ZXCV is actually half positional/mnemonic, half graphical-as-letters, a bit like old-fashioned smileys: X for cut looks like opened scissors, and V for insert looks like the downward-pointing “insert here” arrow-like mark editors and teachers use(d?) to scribble onto others’ texts.
I tried out brandyourself.com.

Once with my real info (against all reason), the second time I entered some random name and adress that couldn't possibly be real.

In both cases, I was told that I was highly exposed and that I should pay hundreds of $ per year to protect my privacy.

Also, I recognized several dark/shady design patterns.

I can only conclude that this is a very elaborate way to scare people out of money.
Probably not because it was suggested months ago already, so if it was a magical solution we’d know by now.

What did CDC do differently for Ebola and SARS? My impression is that not much, it’s just we got lucky back then.
> An airplane with a fail-safe fuselage that can disconnect from the rest of the plane, parachute to the ground and land (or float) safely.

The thing is, the vast majority of airplane crashes happen at takeoff or landing, because that's when there's the least time to react if something goes wrong. Unfortunately, this is also when a parachute would be least effective, because there isn't sufficient altitude to deploy one. (Never mind that we don't even have a design for parachutes large enough to safely land an airliner fuselage.) Additionally, by giving the fuselage the ability to separate from the wings, you seriously weaken the strongest and most critical point of the aircraft: the main wing spar. In other words, you gain an additional risky emergency landing method, which could only be deployed in certain very unlikely circumstances (if the plane is high enough to safely deploy parachutes, it it probably high enough to glide to a safe landing, or at least safer then landing wherever you end up with parachutes) - and in the process you also now have a much higher chance of the wings falling off in midair.

I think I prefer a normal airliner design.

That is very different from GGP’s interpretation “Vox is responsible for the coronavirus”.

Amazing. Adding the ability to do type driven design on top of the fault tolerance features of Erlang will make it easier to create correct AND fault tolerant applications.

Let it fail, but not when you already know at compile time that it's wrong.

Recently there was a discussion on whether mathematics was invented or discovered. It is finding like these that make me lean towards discovered. The theory of relativity depends heavily on mathematics.

Whatever they say, as a Mac OS 8 and 9.1 user I don't think there will be anything similar for a long time: macOS today is a usability disaster. A user interface that is mined with options for all cases. Gosh, it's a pain in the ass to work with macOS these days of so many options you have. Before it was simpler but things were done in an effective way without cutting the user's chances of working comfortably and customizing their work desktop. And the Finder is a disaster, for me the epitome of the Finder will always be Norton Commander.
One way to implement it would be to defer validation until nodes come back online, and if double-spending is detected at that point, well, that's fraud and it comes with cryptographic proof of guilt. The rest can be handled by the legal system.

Mainly PoS machines.
GNOME, Mate, Pantheon, XCFE, KDE, Deepin, UKUI, LXQt etc. created an unmaintainable mess of competing forks _while all using stacking window managers_. It's maddening how similar they all are to each other. Someone should build a dating site where understaffed Linux projects can find a matching project to merge with.
There are obvious ways that the physics engine might be able to capture more effects than a simple analytic solution of parabolic trajectories. But if it only lets you run the simulation forward to get a trajectory from initial conditions, then you now have a numeric optimization problem as the body of the inner loop of another optimization problem.

If the physics engine can't efficiently solve the inverse problem here, it is probably only well-suited for simulating a final solution for validation, not iterating over the rather large space of possible shot trajectories times possible backboard angles at the point of impact.
I worked for a big European network vendor and ended up on a project trying to sort out the utter mess that is legacy SS7.

SS7 networks are basically wide open, with no auth and anyone can get an SS7 hub for cheap and start sending nefarious commands to peoples handsets. They can forward or record calls and read SMS. They can track you or they could just be a jerk and keep rebooting your phone. Worse still it can be used to intercept 2FA codes over SMS, which is the approach a lot of banks are taking for personal account security. intelligence agencies are without a doubt using it for intercepting and tracking.

The Telcos are lost with how to address the issues combined with cost considerations, so most are taking the approach of hoping it stays out of the news and waiting for it to eventually be deprecated from the network.
Like the article says, there have been some hopeful anecdotes, but that is a long way from an effective cure and rigorous testing phase. Aka to early to tell.
STM8 is a fairly new design although with some similarities to the 6502 and 6800. It does have multiply and divide instructions. It also has a plethora of addressing modes:

ld a, #42 ; immediate. C constants
ld a, var ; direct. C globals and statics
ld a, (sp, 4) ; sp relative. C locals and arguments
ld a, (x) ; indirect. C *ptr (ptr in register)
ld a, (x, 42) ; indexed indirect. C ptr->foo (ptr in register)
ld a, [ptr] ; memory indirect. C *ptr (ptr in memory)
ld a, ([ptr],x) ; indexed memory indirect. C ptr->foo (ptr in memory)

There are more, but mainly variations in width and PC relative jumps.
NPM rewrote one of their services in Rust. It took them one hour to rewrite it in Javascript , two days to rewrite it in Go and one week to rewrite it in Rust.

Even if we account 90% of that time to the lack of experience in Rust, it still feels like a massive productivity hit.

So unless you absolutely need to squeeze the most performance you can from the hardware it might not be the best choice.

Not all problems, though.

A large amount of (less important) requirements from Fedora were about tooling. They built a lot of it, tightly coupled into Pagure. Like dist-git and FAZ user management.

It could be built into gitlab, or ported, or rewritten. But that is not the point: the requirements were there. And gitlab does not meet those requirements. As the author puts it: 'But it turns out that some of the requirements that the Fedora community thought it was providing to the process got watered down along the way. '

Maybe, but then most people wouldn't use any of the Nirsoft tools.

On the other hand - personally - but not because of particular security measures, only for convenience, I tend to run those tools from within the .zip file (opened in 7-zip) i.e. in practice in a "random" directory created on the fly, i.e. something like \7zO6BD1.tmp (inside the users Temp folder).

Besides AFAIK/AFAICR all tools are available in .zip files, I don't think that the "common" user will open the .zip in the "Download" folder and routinely extract its contents in the same "Download" folder (as opposed to a path like C:\Nirsoft\<name of the tool> or similar).

BiPap is not ventilator alternative. They are completely different type devices.

You never put anyone into ventilator until they absolutely need it. At some point oxygen or air is not helping because removing carbon dioxide becomes an issue.

Being in ventilator is super unconformable and gruesome. Catheter (endotracheal tube) is inserted into windpipe. Patients are sedated. In the case of covid-19 they are usually placed on their stomach and lay there with the help of opioids+anesthetic drugs.

The lab theory rests in part on the proximity of the lab to the wet market. If the evidence for the outbreak starting near the wet market gets weaker, so does the evidence for the lab theory.

The SARS outbreak was first discovered in Guangdong province, but afterwards traced to bats in a cave in Yunnan province, which doesn't even share a border with Guangdong. So it's entirely possible that the virus was carried into Wuhan from somewhere far away and only started spreading there due to the higher population density.
And that's also one of the big reasons that supersonic passenger aircraft have failed in the past - restrictions against supersonic flight over land due to the extreme noise. It seems strange to me that Boom would want to draw attention to this in their brand name!
I will, but I think I read quite some books about it and visited many permaculture farms and tried to apply technics in my own garden quite some time ago.
And my conclusion is, there is way too much wishful thinking involved. For example I have never seen a permaculture farm that was actually self sufficient. Either they had other sources of income, or they had paid tours.

Permaculture is nice and I would like to see more of it adopted, but I don't see at all, how we could feed the current world population with it. With general ecologocal farming, yes.

The culture has changed dramatically in America such that its founding principles and ideals have pretty much vanished. The simulacrum you mention is America itself: a shell of its former self, seeking something vague but unable to articulate what that something is. I'm not sure what you think about it, but a country where its citizenry thinks government can solve all of its problems leads to a very dangerous place to live. You need only look to the vast majority of Latin American countries for evidence of that.

A better way to think about this is that an epidemiologists take the inside view (because they are experts at the inside view) while the generalists take the outside view (because that is what they are good at).
