I see what you mean, I think. What I was trying to express was a slight change in perspective. What if you thought of past actions as having been done-by instead of having been done-to. That way you can throw them all in one pot and begin by forgiving the do-er for having done-to. It is admirable that you accept responsibility for those of your actions which negatively affected others. To put those regrets behind you, the affected person must forgive you too. And you must let them do that. I find that to be the hardest part, but you seem to be a courageous chap and I believe you can do it.

I love Jacob Bronowski's take on this from The Ascent of Man:

"Science is a very human form of knowledge. We are always at the brink of the known; we always feel forward for what is to be hoped. Every judgment in science stands on the edge of error and is personal. Science is a tribute to what we can know although we are fallible. In the end, the words were said by Oliver Cromwell: "I beseech you in the bowels of Christ: Think it possible you may be mistaken."

NB My parents had me watch The Ascent of Man when it was first broadcast when I was ~8, it left a deep impression even though I clearly didn't understand much of it!

Apparently you didn't bother to read the 3 answers that come up.

Only one of them says anything and it an empty statement like

> F#'s compile times also seem to err on the long side but not very much so, my impression goes.

However it is quite easy to validate write the same algorithm in F# and Rust and then compare.

Ah but Rust is AOT compiled, easy, use NGEN, .NET Native, or Mono AOT for the F# compile time measurements.
But why can't digikey just charge for what it costs them to send the items?

Now it feels like I'm paying some kind of tax.
The thing with ownership reasoning in Rust is that you can opt out of it whenever it makes sense to do so. If you really have "objects which live for indeterminate amounts of time and can be shared across views", that's not an increase in complexity; you just acknowledge that reasoning about ownership and sharing at compile time is not going to be feasible, write Rc<RefCell<…>> (with a documentation comment to that effect) and move on. All it takes is knowing where to add a tiny bit of boilerplate.
Hybrid remote work offers the worst of both worlds
Google has been funneling around 20 billion dollars yearly through Bermuda to evade taxes using the infamous 'irish double sandwich'.

Pressure from the US and EU is finally forcing Ireland to change their laws.

Google is in a situation when they have money that they need to figure out a plan for since they can't do as much tax evasion as they previously were permitted to.

A simple web server barely needs GC - allocate anything and everything needed during a single request from the same pool, and free the pool once the request is handled. The lack of GC can hurt developer time for other kinds of work, where the lifetime of data structures are not scoped to “within a request”.

I have no idea how accurate this simulation is but this part of your comment made me think:

>With the anchor letters, I find this trivial to read. It barely slows me down at all. Studies have shown that most people can read fairly easily when the first and last letters of a word are fixed and the inner letters are scrambled. Given the difficulty that dyslexics have, I suspect this isn't a realistic simulation.

That's only true when you've already reached a high level of fluency and are used to reading fast. You need to have a deep "predictive" knowledge of the language as well as a photographic memory of the shape of the words. That works well for literate native speakers but that wouldn't work well at all for a learner of the language, even at an intermediate level.

Since dyslexics have a hard time learning to read correctly, it's possible that they struggle to reach that level of fluency where you can just skim through text without paying attention to the small details of the spelling.

That's pure guesswork on my part though.

I'm been on a quest for a long time now to convince people I know to install ublock origin on their browsers, but it seems to be a hard sell, even among more tech-literate people, the effort to convince them is non trivial. They stick with it after I install it for them, and they use it everywhere themselves after a while, and thank me for it, it's just that getting them to experience it makes them go defensive. What gets them is not improved privacy, nor tracking removal, but no longer having to deal with video ads on YouTube, or those embarrassing naked people or viagra banner ads on websites, like Yahoo mail.

So basically privacy is an afterthought, a nice to have consequence, as it's not an immediate visible part of the experience for them.

I think flipping and mirroring letters is just using our ability to see that the shapes are the same. You have to do some unlearning in a way, or rather recognizing that rotating a shape changes its meaning.

I don't like the analytics auto hate behavior.

It's not "auto hate", it's 25 years experience of making web stuff. I used to track users. I can read Apache logs by sight alone. I was an Urchin stats user before Google bought them. I had hit counters.

I realised a long time ago that massive data gathering didn't really help me. I had a ton of data and no idea what to do with it. If you launch a site and find the engagement time is 5.54s and users scroll 40% down the page before the bounce when they hit the site from a Google SERP for "my special page" that doesn't tell you why they left. That only tells you that they did. If you want to fix the problem you need to actually reach people and engage with them. To build what users want you need to actually talk to users.

Maybe some people can get value out of GAnalytics data, but I reckon for most users it's "metrics theatre". They're randomly poking at their website and seeing if the numbers change. That's stupidly inefficient when you can just talk to some people instead and immediately know where the problems are because people will tell you if you ask. Oh boy, will they tell you. It's hard to make them stop.

> we must have some special structure in the brain that gives us this capacity, that we are born with

We have special faculties for things like recognizing faces. Correspondingly there are people that have some damage/abnormality with this mechanism but they are otherwise fully functional human beings. There doesn't seem to be an equivalent phenomena with language. I mean, you have things like dyslexia.. but that's something that only applies to the writing word (which is kinda bizarre if you think about it b/c writing is relatively new, evolutionary speaking). As far as I know, people that can't process language at all are deeply mentally retarded. If it was some complex hard-wired mechanism in the brain then you'd expect to see functionally intelligent people that can't process language at all - but as far as I know that doesn't happen. Or does it?

"In real life, the Hollow Empire — led by the synagogue and the bank — and the globalist Left use “minorities” to subvert White European societies. They train and finance so-called terrorists in order to justify their own iron rule. On the other hand, they encourage massive influxes of immigrants in the White world, then encourage them to be “active minorities” aggressively attacking the original ethnos and culture. Those System-fed “minorities” are more than an annoyance, but we should focus on their original manufacturers. It becomes especially interesting when the golem “minorities” turn against their own creators."

Dude wtf.
Yep. I'm using containers and Kubernetes in production so I'm trying to stay far away from anything JVM-based. On top of being slow to start, memory hungry, and plagued by GC issues, JVM docker images are always huge. I don't want two layers of virtualization. If Docker and k8s become more mainstream that's probably bad news for a lot of JVM projects. Of course, Pulsar itself is quite old (2013?) so it was built well before any of the containerization stuff took off.

> if they defend their existence by refusing to allow fakes to function with their drivers.

I don’t think anyone is arguing that FTDI has to let those chips be supported by FTDI drivers. I believe that intentionally sabotaging devices that have clone chips in them (such that they won’t work even once disconnected from the computer running their driver or that the device will be damaged simply by plugging it into a computer with that driver) goes well beyond simply “refusing to allow fakes to function with their drivers.”

That’s not OK, IMO.

I recently began running it as the os on my laptop. Did not really follow any tutorial other than the handbook. I did end up installing Bash, probably more because that is what I am used to than anything else. I may go back and give tcsh another try, but I just remember it as there was small things that annoyed me.
Unlike Kafka, and despite some unfortunately misleading wordings in articles and documentation pages, Pulsar doesn't actually support exactly-once aka 'effectively-once' semantics because it lacks support for transactions. It only supports an idempotent producer combined with message deduplication. The current functionality only works when producing one message and to only one partition. For example, you cannot atomically produce multiple messages to one partition with Pulsar today, let alone multiple partitions.

See this Dec 2019 presentation by Pulsar committers, where they explain all this in more detail, i.e., the lack of transactions and the resulting limitations, and the motivation for adding such transactions to Pulsar. The approach looks very similar to Kafka's. https://www.slideshare.net/streamnative/transaction-preview-... The original ETA for transactions was Pulsar v2.6 (June 2020), but as of today there's still quite some work to be done (https://github.com/apache/pulsar/issues/2664). The latest ETA seems to be around the end of the year.

The key difference for an end user is that Kafka released all the functionality in one go back in 2017 (idempotent producer, transactions; which fwiw also explains why designing+building+testing took the Kafka community that long) so it has been much easier to understand what is actually supported vs. what is not.

Martial arts is a journey. You have to look in all areas of opportunity and it comes down to whether or not you get along with those around you. I have done judo, bjj, muay Thai, Silat and consistently practice qigong. I love all aspects of martial arts but the times I am happiest are when I am rolling or sparring with other passionate players with good attitudes that I know are looking out for the safety of everyone involved (an underrated mindset).

Getting started I’d say most importantly is to find a community of martial artists to be around. Usually this means joining a gym, which can also mean choosing one art. I will say don’t let choosing scare you off. Never be afraid to quit never be afraid to pivot. There is no replacement for a proper mentor, shifu, coach or what-have-you when you begin.

‘Foundations’ are drilled extensively no matter the route you take and you will be better off for every foundation you work on. That being said it is impossible to throw an 80kg partner 1000 times a day every day, so foundations include balance. To stay focused enough not to rush through your learning experience is a difficult task when you see how far you are from the upper bounds, but injuries and expectations will set you back much further than forcing what can only work optimally with fluidity.

Bodily recovery is extremely important when training intensely for extended periods of time. Stretching (Tissue work), sleeping, hydrating, and eating enough are all invaluable aspects to your training.
The author describes the unification process of the non-gravity forces under various symmetries and that there are desires to find a way to unify these under a GUT, and also describes there is a need to modernize gravity so it fits logically with the QFTs.

But then the author seems to make a point of that a ToE has to be a GUT with gravity in it and that might not be how nature works?

Which I agree with but I would not have used that semantics of ToE. I think most physicists at this point would settle for any logical merging of gravity with the QFTs that is consistent even if it postulates more free parameters and not less :)

Anyway, just a nitpick on the terminology.. just seemed a bit click-baity (but I'm sure that was not the intention).
FreeBSD is my go-to OS when I need a VM. I have poor sysadmin skills and I find it easier than Linux in general. I still use Xubuntu for my laptop, and Windows for my desktop.

For me, as a low level power user, I just find that searching "how to do something in FreeBSD" feels like always leads me to something easy to follow through and consistent. In Linux many times I find that tutorials don't apply to my version, or this distro has this files somewhere else and a long list of etc. It's fine, I get what's about Linux, It's just that I don't really have the motivation to learn all that quirks + the quirks of the stuff I'm trying to use.

FreeBSD community has always been nice to me too, everytime I needed to ask stuff.

So I just want to thank the FreeBSD devs and community because without them I wouldn't be doing a lot of stuff, or maybe just using Windows VMs.

I think it will be more like US/UK relationship. China had a good chance to be like US if they would have been politically liberal, though I don't think they would have been so well off economically since political instability is costly.

> ... systems that rely on external dependencies like Apache Zookeeper and BookKeeper.

I would argue that building up on existing systems (especially things like a distributed consensus system like Zookeeper) is generally good practice. Being able to just point a bunch of self-contained JARs/WARs at a Zookeeper/etcd cluster and not worry about startup sequencing or cluster bootstrapping makes me happy.

Seeing that Plausible Analytics is not using cookies and instead hashes fields including IP address - the measure of "unique site visitors" could be a proxy for false uniques by Plausible Analytics. For example, an user visits once via his data connection and once via wifi - Plausible may see different users where Google's cookie will pin it as one user.

Another interesting result is the 16% of total page views - I don't think false uniques could changes this. But it will be distorted by correlation of views-per-user with blocking settings.

That's an understatement... especially if you're using autotools with libtool. Which, coincidentally, seems to be unmaintained. I tried submitting a patch on their GNU Savannah[1], and it's soon celebrating its second birthday... last official release in 2015...

And yet this is the "GNU standard" which a huge part of the packages found on an average Linux install - especially the smaller and more foundational pieces - are built with. It's mindbogglingly sad.
