Fyi, There are parts of the world where money can't buy you steady electricity, safety at home (an especially important point for women and LGBT), reliable internet access.
Hardly. Turks arrived in Turkey a millenium or more after Thermopylae, and to say that Greek culture of today is "the same" as that of the group of people who lived there in the Bronze Age is quite obviously false.

> How can we prevent such narrow-minded, narcissistic people from gaining positions of influence?

Talking specifically about Turkey: "traditionally", its military is seen as the guardian of its secular character and would, overthrow (with a military coup) leaders that were dangerous. Erdogan botched that attempt a few years ago. Paradoxically, without that protection, Turkey's democracy is now sliding to autocracy.
This unfortunately happens to many non-dominating persons.
> Nothing special we as engieers can do?

Truly you can bring more imagination to the table?

We have almost the entire world connected. Partial solutions to many of todays problems have already been discovered, they just haven't been communicated to the rest. As engineers, we are in a good spot to address this issue.

Amost everyone has a supercomputer in their pocket, networked with the rest. There has to be some way to use this to help enable people to get out of destructive extractive system, and to create new, aligned with nature, systems.
It would be nice, but from what I see in reactions to all this, I think not. I think the forces you speak of will either come to believe, or be persuaded, that they are entirely doing battle against enemy terrorists who don't 'count' as humans. It won't matter if they're moms or little children: they will uniformly be categorized as monsters and treated as such.

There must surely be huge amounts of this already: wouldn't be nearly as much protest if it wasn't already well documented that cops and uniformed forces will blast their enemies with pepper spray and any weapon they're permitted to use. Humans simply don't fire pepper spray or projectile weapons at simple bystanders unless they're total psychopaths: what you see there is not so much a culture of total psychopaths, rather a group that believes the modern day equivalent of 'even the kids and old ladies are VC'.

And in so doing, they make it become true, which is why military handbooks on this subject instruct you to back off and yield whatever's being targeted. The dangers of mobilizing popular opinion against the military invaders is far greater than losing whatever is threatened.

In other words, if the protesters are trying to destroy the police station at Cable Street, there might be a reason why sending in feds to crush the rebellion by force will not work. It may simply underscore the problem in the minds of otherwise apolitical onlookers, and the pool of people available to join the opposition may be greater than you think, IF there's a reason to judge you negatively for siding with Cable Street and supporting their activities.

And it's possible that you don't know what Cable Street means, if you don't live there. But if you're uniformed forces from elsewhere, maybe the whole point is that you don't live there, and you're being selected to go in specifically because you don't live there and can be trusted to categorize your enemies as monsters simply because they are battling something you're told is good and righteous.
Please, do not use white lies on your web.

Like in a lot of social science stuff, causalities are mixed up.
People who can align their goals and life plan with their surrounding environment are less likely to suffer from “depression”.
I never understood the concept of depression. In the definition lies the key of the problem.
It looks like depression is an incapability to adapt / fit or an inability to use the given circumstances and integrate them into the own life or make use of them.
The problem has more than one side. Since therapeutics can’t change the environment, and it’s easier to try to change the single “patient”, that’s the focus of the “therapy”. Even if that means to break the patient. Social systems integrate people, to make use and make value of them. And if that does not work, to take them out under controlled condition.
The other side of the “depression” problem is estrangement. Modern social science neglects the concept of estrangement.
It is easier and more profitable to publish self-referential and tautological articles and follow the stream. Opportunism and system conformity are the driving forces of most social structures – that does not exclude the academia.
It's a shame that their downloadable "high res" images are so small. One of them is 250KB (0.4 megapixels), the same size as the one directly viewable on the site. Maybe that's a mistake.
Some reasons:

1. Not every foreign student can afford a "paradise" on a Caribbean island

2. Not every foreign student has fast, stable internet and reliable electricity for online classes

3. Most of the world doesn't enjoy the free passport access US citizens have to the rest of the world.
This must be phonetically confusing to the very different piece of software also used a lot in the HE sector: Blackboard.

Intel is making a mockery of reshoring
> Intel’s chief executive Bob Swan yesterday told industry analysts that the former industry leader in chip manufacturing might quit the fabrication business altogether, outsourcing its designs to Taiwan or South Korea instead. The company’s shock announcement called into question US efforts to return critical manufacturing capacity to the United States, and came despite semiconductor industry lobbying to secure federal subsidies for chip production in the United States. Semiconductors are the building blocks of the digital economy, and America’s inability to slow the decline of onshore chip fabrication is a strategic liability of the highest order.

Sounds like bad news. The diversity that remains of chip manufacturing must be preserved everywhere around the world, including the U.S, Europe, China and the rest of Asia. Not doing so would mean we're likely going to hit a dead end rather soon for current silicon.

> Intel’s 10-nanometer technology has just come into production, three years after target, and is already obsolete. Once the industry leader, Intel lacks the engineering expertise to stay ahead of Asian competition.

source seems biased?
I was downvoted for my original question for some reason but thanks for sharing this - I genuinely had no idea that the Democrats were on the same page here.
>I am looking forward to one day having a phone that runs Linux. But then I want the same freedom I have on my laptop. To install whatever I want from the Debian repos via apt-get and update via apt-update / apt-upgrade.

This is a valid point. What do you think would be respectable amount of free cards? - or is having a card limit even the right way to of differentiate between free and premium?

Very interested in hearing your points - i'm totally new to this.
You can clearly see how in Turkey history repeats itself. Authoritarian clowns like Hitler ultimately need war to legitimize their power. Turkey is provoking war at least in 5 regions at the moment: Lybia (confronting also France), Armenia (together with Azerbaijan), Syria, Iraqi Kurdistan and also Greece. Just a matter of time until a tragedy happens. What also repeats is that the western world tries appeasement politics until it's too late, as you can see in Merkel's reaction. Very frustrating to watch.
This isn't "foreign funding." In fact, these students are injecting capital into this country.

And eventually some/many will remain in this country as ostensibly well educated new Americans.
The foreign students are paying full retail price for school. When they return for in person classes they will go back to spending a lot of money in their schools' local economies. Please explain how increasing spending in America harms job growth in America.
A better question is, when the video of all these "unidentified" arrests occur, why does no one look at the footage that is ubiquitous on arrests done by federal law enforcement and does any kind of basic research? Isn't it the job of reporters and journalists to do their homework?

Why is no one asking in good faith why federal law enforcement might feel like they need to take these kinds of actions? Police have been being doxxed for weeks now. "Protestors" show up at the houses of local officials across the country and graffiti, vandalize, and threaten officials. In the case of Mayor Durkin of Seattle, she is a former prosecutor who will always live under the threat of being attacked and killed and these people doxxed her anyways.

Why does no one discuss how the local DA refuses to prosecute and forces the release of people who unilaterally attack police? Be fair and recognize that there are many people who are attempting to gaslight through social media.
I submitted my first article once and mentioned it a comment once here, which is about as much self-promotion as i'm comfortable with, and received 5 sign ups.
It's a strange feeling that people want to hear more from me in their inboxes! I was only moaning about the news, really.
Of course there is! The problem is not with the Karen meme though... Social media dehumanizing interaction (at least for some significant part of the online population) is the problem.
A bit OT: I very much appreciate well written C code for its simplicity and "rawness", but how come that many C codebases seem to place no importance on code comments?

This repo contains a few thousand lines of code without so much as a single comment. In my experience that tends to happen much less in other languages. And it's not like this C code is obvious.
I agree. This article finally resulted in me grokking how the k hash functions actually work together.

Bloom filters have no false negatives, they have only false positives. If it were the other way round, they would be of no practical use as you'd have to query the original datastructure in any case:

- If the bloom filter said "True", then you go ahead and fetch the data from the original structure
- If the bloom filter said "False" but that might be a false negative then you'd have to anyway query the original structure to be sure

With 0% false negatives but a relatively small rate of false positives instead, you don't have to query the original source if the filter gave a "False".

Btw. Bloom filters were one of the first probabilistic data structures with real practical uses and still to this day are widely used. They are still not out-classed in every way by newer algorithms like Cuckoo filters.
A thing I want to stress, is that you pay for the "complexity" just once, and it gets amortized over all projects that use this code.

This is a standard technique, that is often used in String functions. You can see it also in implementations of strlen.
Thanks for the general advice even if not aimed at me - you're right. I need to bring original research as well as opinion. I've been looking into what I can glean about social trends from open source intelligence methods. Early days but interesting.

I also noticed this. The weird stilted language and repeated (yet mildly disjointed) thoughts is reminiscent of an algorithm stringing sentences together.
Sorry for somewhat unrelated query: is Digikam a replacement for Darktable? If not what's a good workflow between the two? I am a hobbyist photo taker and have only recently started using Darktable and really enjoy using it. However, it isn't a very efficient photo manager in my opinion (I may very well be missing something).

It literally does the opposite.

Removing consumers and producers from a market does not increase the "value of American's" [sic] because it reduces consumption.

To the extent that other mechanisms are in place to to peer review research and curate quality, yes. And yes I'm aware that the current system is far from perfect.
Public transit in urban cores is a much harder problem. The politics of it from funding to allocation of road space are seen as a zero sum game among the participants with a well funded automotive lobby sabotaging the process.

By contrast, getting approval to build a small footprint vertiport and use some unused or underutilized air rights seems easy.
Reminder that leaded gas is still in use.
What's even more concerning about this is that there seem to be some issues in the Balkans at the moment as well. The entirety of the former Ottoman sphere seems to be destabilising.

The very first non-navigation-bar text on the linked site says: "The Next Generation Spaced Repetition Tool to help you Retain More Knowledge: Create memory cards anywhere on the web", which should give some clues. A little lower down there's a link saying "Click here to check out our 5 minute introduction to spaced repetition", linking to ... a brief explanation of spaced repetition and why you might want to use it.

Anyway. The idea is that when you learn something, you are likely to forget it eventually, and that when you _remind_ yourself of something you've learned that postpones the likely forgetting by an amount of time that increases according to how long it was since you learned it. So if you want to learn something and retain it, you should keep reminding yourself just before you would have forgotten. Fortunately, it seems that for most of us the time we remember a thing for is somewhat longer than the time between reminders, which means that learning something this way doesn't take an unreasonable number of reminders before it's lodged in your brain long-term.

So: a spaced repetition system is a thing that helps you learn. You give it a bunch of things you want to learn; it tests you and remembers -- separately for each individual thing -- when you were last tested and how you did. If its algorithm matches your brain reasonably well, a fairly small investment of effort can help you get a lot of stuff imported lastingly into your brain.

The most common use of these things is for learning foreign language vocabulary, but of course that's by no means all you can do with them.
IIRC, Dengue has 4 different strains. When you get reinfected with the same strain, then you are good. Getting one of the other strains is the problematic case.
I'm not sure it's valid to equate Nazi genocide with riot crowd control.

It's important to unpack this issue and disconnect the loaded politics from the reality on the ground. E.g. if exactly the same events were taking place but the crowd in question was far-right neonazies, would that change your opinion of what's going on? If so, then you need to unpack it and remove the political bias from your analysis.

I think any rational person can agree that a mob trying to burn down a courthouse is not okay in a civilised society, regardless of what mob wants to do it.
Wait they paid a ransom for the hackers to "delete" a copy of the data? That's insane.

This seems wrong to me.

I very purposefully position my monitor so that my main console window is viewed, with my head level. It is also horizontally centred on the mid-left of that console.

This is because most text, eg bash work, vi of files or code, rests there.

In this way, my head is not tilted down, or eyes tilted down constantly. My head is mostly centred, and looking straight ahead.

I find that elsewise, my body follows the constant downward look, either slouching or the neck bent forwards.

Why do you belief your monitor should be positioned, so you are looking downward constantly?
How about Wikidata?

I would say they're complementary. Digikam is more of an all-around organizer and has lots of import/export stuff, tagging, and now good face recognition too apparently (the old one was based on classic Haar cascades).

Darktable is for selecting a series of shots, going through them, developing the ones you want to keep.
Understanding how to, for example, efficiently organize a database is a very different skill set from, for example, making a response, accessible CSS/HTML5 design. The core skill set is only vaguely similar. Doing back-end well requires in-depth knowledge of algorithms, networks, systems, and computer architectures. Doing front-end well requires in-depth knowledge of human beings.

I think the problem here, though, is trying to overgeneralize. I've worked on projects where you want to split things vertically (apps / plugins / etc. which have isolated functionality and handle back+front end), and horizontally (front-end / back-end split).

That comes back to what the system does, as well as the make-up of the team (full stack developers will do different things well than teams of specialists).

The danger comes in when you try to mix pieces of the two. I had a system with a simple, elegant architecture with a vertical abstraction. A junior engineering team came in, who had only seen horizontal abstractions. They didn't understand it. They didn't get functional code either (they had only seen OO). They decided it was all very confusing spaghetti code, broke all the vertical abstractions, put in half-done horizontal splits, and the system became unmaintainable.... You can blame that on junior team from the high-level descriptions, but the deeper problem for that system was mixing abstractions and programming models.
The Turkish diaspora in Germany and elsewhere is key here. If Erdogan can excite them in nationalistic explosion, he will be shielded against any military action by the EU. A Turkish uprising would literally burn the industrial heart of Europe down. If he cannot, for instance because Germans with Turkish ancestry consider themselves well-off and do not want to change that, he could very well catch a bloody nose. That would almost certainly be the beginning of the end of his rule. High stakes for everyone.
I think you need to make a decision and go in one of two directions:

* 25 (or maybe 50) card limit, and call it something like "Try before you buy"

* 100 (or maybe 200) card limit and call it "Free"

Basically either the free tier is usable for a reasonable period of time for a reasonable subset of your customer base, or it's a "free trial" to get people setting up and seeing the value without having to enter credit card details.

If you go with the "free trial" approach, the precise wording for what you call it will be important. I put a couple of minutes thought into trying to come up with a good suggestion and "Try before you buy" isn't too bad, but there maybe a better idea.

Seems overexaggerating.

> Evidently that failed to impress Intel, which weighed the R&D costs of success in the next generation of chip production against the likelihood of a US government subsidy, and decided that outsourcing was the path of least resistance.

Intel has said that they are considering partial or complete outsourcing if it becomes necessary to stay competitive. That's very different from what the article claims, and anything else would be economic madness. I'm not sure "Intel committed to making sub-standard products by not considering contracting with manufacturers having top-of-line capability if their own developments keep lagging" would be better for Intel and the US economy?

I suspect that for complete outsourcing, they're also going to have trouble finding the capacity.

Similarly,

They certainly have the ambition, it's just not clear if they can.

> The "local authorities" include the mayor of Portland and the governor of Oregon. Regardless of how one feels about the protests or their legitimacy, any proponent of state's rights should be very alarmed by the situation. They are elected officials representing their constituents, and in their own state their rights and desires should be respected.

I think of states as laboratories of our democratic republic where localities are allowed to craft approaches and responses that best fit their needs. This is a good thing.

It is incorrect though to defend states rights when the local government has allowed federal property to be attacked night after night without attempting to quell it. Federal police was not dispatched until the federal courthouse in Portland was breached by "protestors". If the state and local government refuse to defend federal property, what do you suggest that the federal government should do? And what does that say about those governments?

You grit your teeth and chew on it, until those times you know you're right. You then keep escalating to Director level if need be. Though nowadays there's so many leaders (chefs), you just play them against eachother and bring some popcorn.

The trick is to NEVER grumble about uncertain stuff, but ONLY suggest stuff that should work. 4-5 years later, they'll implement it with no mention of you, but you will have been "heard".
