Censorship (in my opinion) has a time and a place. And it should always be a choice, never forced on you. This is an extremely controversial topic that seems to get a lot of people's emotions running hot, so please try and counter that before responding. In my opinion, censorship of media is a personal preference akin to food aversions. Picking the mushrooms out of a chef's dish isn't censorship, nor an insult to his art. It's personal preference.

For example, GRRM's A Song of Ice and Fire series has a great story with tons of intrigue, but it is marred (in my opinion, don't all jump on me), by an over-reliance on sex jokes, explicit sex scenes, and extremely explicit violence/gore.

It turns out, you can tone down that stuff (using Calibre) and it makes the book so much better, (again, in my opinion) without losing anything of value. The story is still perfectly in tact, but now more stuff is left to the imagination (implicit instead of explicit). Instead of being described in great detail how a corpse is rotting in a cage and how the maggots are eating the various sex organs, it's now just a decaying corpse in a cage.

Same for movies. I enjoy watching censored (TV edited) movies with my teenagers, like "The Matrix".
> The point is to prime someone's perception for how they should interpret something.

And what perception is that?

The macOS semaphore controls make the square look like a macOS window. Not all windows are text editors: people still have to look at the content of the window in order to understand it. Not all text editing is source code editing: people still have to read the text in order to realize it's source code. The Carbon twitter contains images of error logs and ASCII art.

Monospaced typefaces and syntax highlighting of the text are the design features that truly denote source code. A container with contrasting background color distinguishes the source code from the other elements on the page or slide.

> the window serves exactly the same purpose as offsetting code blocks in text in a different font, in a different color, with a different background: it's to indicate that there's something meta-semantically distinct about this block of text from other blocks of text.

They don't have the same purpose. The information conveyed by all of those elements are completely different. Monospaced, syntax highlighted text looks like source code to any programmer. Placing that text inside a container allows it to be quickly distinguished from the surrounding prose.

Adding macOS controls to this design makes it look like source code that's being edited in macOS. Why convey those additional bits of information? Does the code not work outside of macOS? Are users of other systems not part of the target audience? Is the author subtly signaling their use of macOS to other macOS users in the audience?
Is the UW model based on the Ferguson code or not? The article I cited says Microsoft is doing a rewrite of the Ferguson code, and the UW model is funded by Bill Gates' foundation, and we all know that Bill is closely connected to Microsoft.
Millennium Challenge Corporation – Reducing Poverty Through Growth
It is a cultural thing (as is living with and maintaining strong ties with extended family), but it's far from a uniquely American thing. Consider that with respect to individualist norms, in many of the most developed countries people choose to take advantage of the option to live separately because they can afford to comfortably do so. People generally don't like dying alone in my experience, but some (in the US/Canada, much of NW Europe, etc.) don't like being suffocated either.
> The stock price might remain tied to the performance of the company in broad strokes, but without regular dividends, sales, or buybacks to tie the stock back to the company, there's nothing to keep it from becoming disproportionate with regards to the company's value.[1]

Total stock market noob here, so apologies if this is a dumb question - but I've wondered this for quite some time: There seem to be some extremely well-performing stocks (e.g. Apple, I believe) that don't pay dividends, don't give you voting rights and are not expected to be bought back anytime soon.

How are those stocks connected to the company at all? As an owner, what do you do with those stocks, except selling them to someone else so he can sell them to someone else in turn?

How do they get their value?
I suspect that’s what you meant but just for clarity, Instance storage does persist for reboots (which is effectively an OS reboot), but not if you stop/start (or terminate) the instance.
It’s rallying because there are a lot of undervalued stocks. There have been really good deals the past 2 months. And stocks are a great inflation hedge.
Injecting Code into ELFs Post-Build
As a reader, i don't want to be anywhere near somebody's half-finished first draft.

different personalities, I suppose.
What is most mind-boggling about this recent rally is that basically all the major indices are back to where they were Q2/Q3 of 2019. The Nasdaq is even back to January 2020 levels.

Therefore, the market apparently believes that the environment for stocks today - COVID raging, approaching 20% unemployment, mass bankruptcies, etc - but also central banks creating trillions of USD - is overall as good as it was towards the end of 2019.

Since it is clear that even with the central banks' support economic recovery to late-2019 levels is going to take while, the conclusion can only be that the market anticipates most of the central bank's new money to drive up asset prices again instead of driving the real economy. Sad times.
A vaccine is a near certainty.
No one makes the claim that short term price changes are rational. They are bets made by humans - very flawed biased humans. ... but if you can be more rational than them, then you can make a lot of money in the long term.

... but I find that most people who complain about irrational markets lack the conviction to bet against it.

That would make sense. I wasn't aware, overlapping ligatures were permitted. I wonder how well-defined this is though. I.e. will the ligature for the longest substring always "win", or if this is implementation-defined?
Why are other people concerned about the relationship dynamics in the families of others that do not affect them?

Won’t people who already want to do this do this without prompting? Will people who don’t want to suddenly change their mind because they were prompted?

What is the intended goal of this post, benatkin? Do you wish for people who don’t want to speak to their mothers to do so anyway, because you told them to do so? Are you worried that people who do wish to do so will forget?

In either case, these sorts of societal nudging always struck me personally as really quite rude, the sort of thing that might warrant a “mind your own mother” sort of reply.

It seems to me that it warrants a reminder that your cultural norms and values and priorities need not be the same cultural norms and values and priorities of those around you, and those others are not wrong for diverging from your own views.
How does your mom feel about the holiday? I feel much the same way about birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine's Day, etc. I know those I care about will feel some hurt if I don't do the thing, so that's what I base my actions on.

Underground skyscrapers and off-grid bunkers: inside the world of preppers
There is certainly a taste specificity, but no sight specificity. I must admit none of the laptops at home are very new, and at work I still use the 2 monitors I received when I arrived 8 years ago.

I like my fonts sharp (and pixelated if required) and I truly think e.g. Verdana 8 and 10 are a marvel of legibility, without antialiasing but with hinting, as explained below or in the font-howto.

There is one of my daughter's laptop, Windows 10, where I never succeeded in having the fonts right, whichever Cleartype setting or without Cleartype. This is so disappointing when tech that used to work so good gets broken.
I wonder how this compares with the situation in Amsterdam. I have no big numbers, but a lot of the better Amsterdam restaurants use small-scale[0] local organic produce, and since the lockdown, you can now order a box of random local produce that would normally have gone to those restaurants. They contain lots of interesting stuff (we order one every week), and they also made a special Mother's Day breakfast box.

Of course we also order delivery from those restaurants to help them stay in business. I have no idea how well they're doing, though.

[0] Small scale is probably relative. They're not massive factory farms, but they're well known and you find their products almost everywhere. They don't sell their own products at a stand at a market somewhere, so maybe they're medium-scale.
Seems an automated farm could be designed to do it economically. Like “that” documentary on Netflix showed them doing in Greenland or some such place.

The unemployment numbers are deceptive. >80% are furloughed and would have their jobs back as soon as lockdowns end and business picks back up.
In the same way your sales posture determines how well you identify, qualify and convert leads and your product posture determines how well you design, execute and market-fit your products - yet somehow we never felt the need to add 'posture' to these.

The end result is another obfuscation layer of corporate-speak on something that should be pretty concise and bullshit-free.
Important to note that PVS-Studio is a static analysis tool for C++. As such it would definitely be in their interest to have more people use C++, but since they're arguing in favor of Rust here it definitely speaks to the fact that their analysis is unbiased.
> Measures by the Fed and U.S. government have underpinned the recent rally across markets. The Fed made it clear it was willing to step in to buoy the economy. Why bet against the market when the central bank is willing to do that?

The Fed has gone far further than just this. The Fed is going to buy as many assets as it takes. Treasuries. Corporate bonds. Junk bonds. Munis. It'll buy the assets directly. It'll buy them through ETFs. The Fed will buy so much with its infinite balance sheet that you're going to get tired of getting rich by front-running the Fed.

The Fed is in the fight of its life. The enemy is dollar strength. Have a look at what the dollar was doing during the depths of the recent crash. It was going much higher.

Here's an investment hypothesis. It could be wrong, but for now, it explains some things.

Should the dollar start climbing above 100 on the DXY index[1], watch for: falling stock markets; falling bond markets; falling commodities and gold markets; falling bitcoin; failing businesses; bank distress. At the same time, watch for the Fed to announce new asset purchase acronyms.

The dollar is the world's currency and the Fed is the world's banker. There's a lot of dollar-denominated debt offshore. When the dollar strengthens, those loans get more expensive to service. To raise cash, foreign holders of stocks and bonds start selling.[2]

The US stock markets have become strongly coupled to the US dollar and simultaneously a predictor of Fed action. Dollar goes up, stocks go down, Fed starts buying assets. Dollar goes down, stocks go up, Fed steps back.

The thing to watch for in the coming months is some kind of dilemma. For example, watch for Fed purchases to lead to a stronger dollar. At that point, the Fed will need to decide which master to serve.

This is the theory that has been peddled quite a bit. But doesn’t really add up, since you can easily do a year over year comparison of death numbers. Unless, you suddenly think a significant portion of people are dying of heart attack this year
Bad estimates can cause shipping delays when cross-functional or inter-dependent work ends up in day-for-day slip because not all work is parallizable. The only time a bad estimate doesn't cause a delay is when it's "single-threaded" and the long pole.
This is a great explanation as to why modeling the behaviours of each "agent" (a citizen in this case) is more realistic than attempting to model the system (a city) as a whole.

Originally motivated by Rodney Brooks post - AGI has been delayed [1].

"I think these three criteria need to be met before someone can say that we have autonomous taxis on the road.

The first challenge, no human safety driver, has not been met by a single experimental deployment of autonomous vehicles on public roads anywhere in the world. They all have safety humans in the vehicle. A few weeks ago I saw an autonomous shuttle trial along the paved beachside public walkways at the beach on which I grew up, in Glenelg, South Australia, where there were two “two onboard stewards to ensure everything runs smoothly” along with eight passengers. Today’s demonstrations are just not autonomous. In fact in the article above Luckerson points out that Uber’s target is to have their safety drivers intervene only once every 13 miles, but they are way off that capability at this time. Again, hardly autonomous, even if they were to meet that goal. Imagine having a breakdown of your car that you are driving once every 13 miles–we expect better.

And if normal human beings can’t simply use these services (in Waymo’s Phoenix trial only 400 pre-approved people are allowed to try them out) and go anywhere that they can go in a current day taxi, then really the things deployed will not be autonomous taxis. They will be something else. Calling them taxis would be redefining what a taxi is. And if you can just redefine words on a whim there is really not much value to your words.

I am clearly skeptical about seeing autonomous cars on our roads in the next few years. In the long term I am enthusiastic. But I think it is going to take longer than most people think."

> The bug has been present in LLVM since 2006. It's an important issue as you want to be able to mark infinite loops or recursions in such a way as to prevent LLVM from optimizing it down to nothing. Fortunately, things are improving. LLVM 6 was released with the intrinsic llvm.sideeffect added, and in 2019, rustc got the -Z insert-sideeffect flag, which adds llvm.sideeffect to infinite loops and recursions. Now infinite recursion is recognized as such (link:godbolt). Hopefully, this flag will soon be added as default to stable rustc too.

Be aware that this isn't a LLVM bug but a direct consequence of the insanity of C++ specification (wrt. forward progress induced undefined behaviour).

The C++ rules around forward progress allow C++ compilers to faster eliminate code which doesn't produce any observable side effects (without the code triggering undefined behaviour) but it also removes code which intentionally or not hangs the process in a busy loop or is intended to cause a stack overflow... (e.g. for testing protections).

The flag currently isn't added to rust as the penalty effect on compiler time (needs to run more analysis) and runtime (doesn't eliminate all code it should) is currently pretty high.

So this might take a while until _fully_ fixed (you always can pass in the flag yourself if you want).

Through some fixes which make it harder to hit the bug until a proper solution is found _might_ not be so far of (I hope).
I think the threat model is packs of desperate people looking to take your stuff, not bombs.
"No alternative" means "no better alternative". They can both be equally mediocre.
Several comments here about alternatives to stock, the poor returns of bonds, and cash being eaten by inflation. If you've been thinking about this and are a U.S. investor, read about I Bonds. Or, if you aren't worried about inflation and are investing for 20+ years from now, don't forget about EE Bonds.
True. I don't know much about cosmology.

FYI, KDE/Plasma supports all of those features you mentioned:

1. You can set the launcher/taskbar/panel to auto-hide.
2. You can set up the screen corners (or a keyboard shortcut) to show an Exposé-style view of all running applications/windows.
3. You can have a global menu bar.

What's really odd about this is that I see more of the armchair types doing this than the actual scientists. Of the scientists I know (I've worked at several national labs, so I imagine it is quite a lot more than the average person), I can't think of a single one that didn't value art. Their homes are filled with it and there is a passion. It is also pretty common for scientists to be amateur artists as well. Most that I know are even strong advocates of the arts. Conversely, if you go on sites like Reddit and the like, there is this tribal reinforcement and deviating from the chants is heresy.

It is strange being in a group and seeing my group believe one thing but hearing people claim to be part of my group and telling me that I'm not doing it right. Even when I have the credentials and they don't...
I have been in similar situations. Keeping following things in mind usually help me:

* At any time only one task should have the top priority.

* Consume less, create more.

* If possible, complete the task at hand. Context switching has its own overhead.

* Do not have a lot of things lying around (includes browser tabs/windows). They contribute to cognitive load and may cause cognitive dissonance.

* Your health and peace of mind are important than all other things. So, always find out time for sleep, diet and exercise.
Exactly. Here's a very intuitive way to think about it.

Disney World's revenue has currently fallen by 100% this period. How much do you think the fair market value of Disney World should decline by? Clearly the answer is much less than 100%. Even if Disney World stays closed for two years, it's clearly a very valuable asset. As an asset it probably has a 50 year effective life, so 2 years of closing represents no more than a 4% loss in cash flow. Interest rates are essentially zero, so Disney World should be no more than 5-6% less valuable than it was before the pandemic.

The biggest risk for corporate assets isn't the direct impact of the lockdown. It's whether the experience leads to any permanent changes in people's behavior. If there's a permanent cultural shift where people stop going on vacation or visiting crowded amusement parks, then Disney World might be worth much less. But this is significantly more speculative than estimating the direct impact of the lockdown.
My hypothesis is that you'd see identical performance, but I'm a cynic.
Also worth noting that today is considered Mother’s Day in ~96 countries based on the entry, making this date the single largest alignment of Mother’s Day celebrations in the world.

The second place goes to March 8th (International Women’s Day) which has 20 countries.
This is assuming a (or near) 100% efficient market. Which it definitely is not.

Analysts use different methods to discount cash flows:

Finding R (what to discount by) can be difficult to do:

I don't work in IB or PE so take what I put with a grain of salt, just what I've learned.

Also, you know markets aren't near efficient when people invest in $ZOOM and not $ZM and when Elon tweets $TSLA stock is too high.

You can look at daily gainers and losers and watch them over the course of the week. They are extremely volatile.

If you're talking about the S&P500 it's a little easier to do. A little over 50% of the value of S&P 500 is the top 50 companies by weight. The top 100 equate to 70% and the top 250 equate to 90%.
Sure thing, my QMK keymap is here: https://github.com/rgwood/qmk_firmware/blob/master/keyboards...

1. Remapped capslock to ESC when pressed+released and HYPER when held

2. A 2nd layer for media+volume keys, activated by a custom modifier.

3. Replaced Scroll Lock and Pause with brightness down+up

4. Changed the default LED pattern to static white at low brightness. The CTRL's LEDs are really bright by default!

Nothing amazing, but it's great to have these working 100% reliably (especially capslock->escape, it's really hard to get that working perfectly in AutoHotKey).

One of the primary benefits on audio side of Studio iirc is that the Jack audio server is installed and working.

Jack, at this point, doesn't work/sandbox well with flatpak (or snap).

Redhat is leading an effort to create Pipewire which will act as a kind of combination of Jack(low latency) and PulseAudio(modern desktop features) that also fold in video routing.

As part of the design goals of Pipewire it will sandbox well with flatpak etc.

I'm sure there will be lots of whining and noise from poorly informed users but I think it's going to be pretty great when it gets there.

Yes. Concepts can stop making sense in situations that take them apart. For example, it makes sense to ask whether an apple is a fruit, but it doesn't make sense to ask whether an atom inside the apple is a fruit.

Even if you'd take just one electron, its cloud is infinite. Like, really, when people talk about things like shape of the cloud, what they mean is the density of the cloud, or the shape that you get when you only take the region where the density exceeds some arbitrary level.

So, from this perspective, as long as at least one electron exists in the universe, there is no empty place in the universe. Because, with infinitesimal probability, the electron could be anywhere.

Obviously, this is NOT what we mean by emptiness in everyday life.

(The article is okay, but its title is pure clickbait.)
Does this also mean that the market fundamentally thought, during the Global Financial Crisis, that the sum of the total future discounted cash flows permanently fell significantly?

I'd like to see how this concept would explain 2008. If it can, it further strengthens the thesis.
