There are others, but this one explicitly says

"Math is a much more diverse subject than physics, in a way: there are lots of branches you can learn without needing to know other branches first... though you only deeply understand a subject after you see how it relates to all the others!"
Why don't you approach it like this: forget about the real world, and think about building a virtual world with all these theories in place. I get you are a programmer so this shouldn't be too hard.

Now don't go building a real physics engine, that is not the point. The point is to calm down the anxiety in your head by working in this very limited virtual world instead of the real world.

After you figured it out in the virtual world, you can do the next more difficult step of looking how much your application in this virtual world would differ from the real one. Or you could just stay in the virtual world of course :).
Slightly skewed. According to ISTAT, Italy's official statistics agency, foreigners are 32.6% of people convicted for any crime and almost 37% of the inmates population.

https://www.istat.it/it/immigrati/prodotti-editoriali/crimin...

According to this article that aims to prove that "immigrants committing more crimes than natives" is fake news,

"On the total of the extra-EU immigrants that are trialed for any crime, the illegal ones are 70% of the total for voluntary causing harm, 75% for homicides, and 85% for burglaries and robberies".

And illegal immigrants are just about 10% of the legal ones.

I have known P2 since it was a theme. What i dislike is that now, WordPress has stopped development on the orignal p2 theme which could be self hosted. How much of the hosted p2 is different than the theme ? No idea. https://wordpress.org/themes/p2/

This is what i believe goes against the open principles evangelized by WordPress.

I'm pretty sure I didn't yet know Debian existed. Also, my mom would've been pissed at me tying up the phone line that long. Disks I could download piecemeal, one or two a night, while I was staying up far longer than I should to get on the MUCKs while the west coast folks were around.
I had an iPaq and a Zaurus: the quality difference was miles removed: the Zaurus was so much better at everything (for me) but the iPaq and gprs so that was a reason to hold onto it. Zaurus is still working and running Linux today, iPaqs, multiple, are all dead even though used less. Build quality was robust even though it had a swivel screen (which was also great).
That sort of makes sense. I am not sure of it's prevalence, but at least for Indians, it's pretty common to code switch while writing (even more so while speaking).

I like these attempts at innovating the shell. Hardcore Unix users will say it is practically impossible to replace universal text streams and sh. But what if we had said the same thing before Unix wasn’t a thing? Then we wouldn’t have come this far today.
One advantage projects like Nushell and Crush have is that they have second-mover advantage after seeing what PowerShell didn’t get right. For instance whilst PowerShell is highly consistent, it’s also very verbose as a result (unless you tweak it to mimic bash with aliases and then you might as well use bash anyway). Another example is that, whilst the idea of objects in pipes is theoretically interesting, it creates a lot of complexity in creating meaningful pipes (it’s a lot faster to do xargs over a series of words rather than remembering how to do a for loop in pwsh). Maybe these people are striking the right balance with the flexibility of text and the rigour of tables / columns.
I believe that they use Facebook because it's easy to use, not because it's the only available option outside the dark web. That is to say if Facebook removed them, they'd switch to some other platform.

Might slow them down (won't have FB's built-in audience), but not nearly as much as only being available on the dark web. Hate campaigns worked pre-internet, and they'll still work post-FB. Maybe not as efficient, but I don't think efficiency is the limiting problem there.

That's not the solution at all. Many of current media like Breitbart/Fox as well CNN/MSNBC leverage a fundamental bug in human psyche: emotional and shocking content keeps our attention! So these media try to hype/spice/misinform as long as it gets attention. You cannot counteract it by non-profits providing boring news.

I don't know if there is any solution at all. I expect both sides to maximize spiced up news delivery for maximal attention and devotee base. At equilibrium, we may have these equally weighted strong groups which may randomly win election by small margin each time. This might not be too bad because over longer term all decisions and laws would be averaged out over two opposing philosophies resulting in overall centrist and balanced system.
This isn't something new. Psychologies has concluded it's easier people friends with those who they 'commit crimes' (doing something evil) together. Consuming alcohol is just one of those, only it's way too popular.
> In my experience the biggest problem is something that cannot be solved by the kernel anyway, which is the microcode updates. AFAIK it's impossible to get that performance back by any means, even the mitigations=off flag cannot do that.

It is my understanding that these microcode updates get applied either by the operating system at boot time (applying the update every time you boot), or by the motherboard, if the BIOS was updated. As only this last method is "permanent" (or at least it requires you to downgrade your BIOS, something not always feasible) if you never upgraded your BIOS, I guess it should be possible to prevent the OS from applying the updates.
It's a shame that Apple doesn't have an industrial research lab; it certainly has the funding to create a lab that would rival Microsoft Research or perhaps even legendary labs like Xerox PARC and Bell Labs. Apple used to have a lab: during the "interregnum" years of 1985 to 1997, Apple had a fantastic research group called the Advanced Technology Group, led by the late Larry Tesler. In some ways this group was a sort of spiritual successor to Xerox PARC; Larry Tesler was ex-Xerox, and the legendary Alan Kay (of Smalltalk fame) and Don Norman (who wasn't from Xerox PARC but who is a legend in usability) were involved in this group. This group worked on many interesting and important technologies, such as Quicktime, AppleScript, OpenDoc, HyperCard, speech recognition, and more. Even though the Dylan project did not come from the Advanced Technology Group, it is another example of interesting work that came out of Apple during this time period. Even though commercially Apple struggled during the latter half of the interregnum, Apple created some amazing technologies during this time period.

Of course, the Sculley/Spindler/Amelio Apple seemed to be far more open regarding research than the Jobs- and Cook-era Apple. Jobs closed down the labs in 1997 and help institute Apple's famous culture of secrecy that persists today.
It makes sense as a cultural problem from the perspective that workplace culture is an aspect of culture overall. Policies don't spawn in a vacuum separate from culture, but reflect the values of those that create them.
They're also pointless when running number-cruching instances in the cloud.
I have found that there is a world of everyday physics, related to things like temperature, humidity, weather, materials (durability, permeability etc.), clothing, nature, cooking, farming, cars, and also now in covid times about droplets and droplet evaporation, turbulence, breathing and face masks. These are fascinating and come up in everyday life. And maybe they might come up in your work if you're an engineer and work about manufacturing physical things.

But typical university physics curriculum is, I guess understandably, focused on fast-tracking you to the borders of known fundamental physics: quantum mechanics, particle physics, astrophysics. Whereas the everyday physics builds on more classical things like thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, structural mechanics, which are usually covered only quickly, and partially only in elective courses.

So if you want to learn physics for more practical purposes than understanding the progress of research in quantum and particle physics, a normal physics curriculum does not serve you too well. But it still gives you the foundations to self study these topics.
I don’t think nushell or crush for that matter copy PowerShell. They have learnt from MS and built upon what they didn’t get right. Strongly typed objects on the command line is theoretically interesting, but slow and complex in practice (why does it still take 3-4 seconds to run ls / gci in my homedir at home?). Text in columns gives you the simplicity of text coupled with some level of structure.

Logistic model? Never saw anyone use that model. Do you have reference?

What one should expect, afaik, is a Gompertz curve - the derivative of which, depending on parameters, often rises quickly and drops slowly.

Michael Levitt calibrated a Gompertz model in April based on actions taken until that day, that predicted 5000 dead by 1-jul matched reality incredibly well - whereas the WHO/Ferguson model at the same time predicted 96,000 dead by 1-jul based on the same data.
You're right in that there were some things that could have been achieved with bipartisan support.

One example would be eliminating the per-country limit on employment-based immigrants, which has resulted in 100+ years of wait time for India-born EB2/EB3 aspirants. There's bipartisan support for it, and it might have passed in isolation, but it wasn't high enough of a priority for either party. (Note though: the provision eliminating the per-country limit was included in the S. 744 bill.)

For the most part though, Republicans opposed nearly every bill that Democrats brought up. The likelihood of anything meaningful / highly-impactful / substantive through Congress, in the face of adamant Republican opposition, was unfortunately fairly low.

This is a great point.

I think hallucinogens might "turn the dial" on our quantum consciousness and "tune you in" to different parts of the signal, possibly meaning they can "entangle" the quantum structures in our minds with persistent information structures present somewhere. Maybe they do this randomly, or perhaps each drug is "frequency locked" to some particular part of the "spectrum" (not that I think it's anything so simple as a spectrum defined by a couple of parameters like 'virbation frequency' or whatever, but...), because there are often the same qualia reported for some chemicals independent of the person or setting (like DMT, apparently everybody on that saw an entity once).

Maybe the way chems affect us like this, is the same with getting into altered states without drugs. Or, to take a line from the matrix, "disrupt your input/output carrier signal" (as the red pill did).
Canada's last intact Arctic ice shelf has collapsed
It can work, but not necessarily for all people.

The biggest time gap team I've worked on was east coast US and China.

Great. 12 hour gap.

US team changed to being in the office, or at least online, at 6am. China team started at 11am in China. Roughly a 3 hour handover time.

It worked.

But for some was a toil. When interviewing and taking pains to point this out, the usual response being "Ok, no problem" but then a few months later seeing someone looking visibility drained wasn't good. Helped them find an alternative role. And some loved it, especially the reduced traffic and sense of community.

During this handover period everyone had a webcam on their OC, a fair amount of travel between sites which all participants were excited for on and three US-China marriages happened over the years.

Great for some. Terrible for others.

Have a Phd in physics, agree fully. I love talking to people about the physics and chemistry in every-day life, and you need very little of quantum mechanics or advanced electromagnetism. Perhaps statistical physics (thermodynamics) is the single most useful topic.

Also, if you want to understand the science in every-day life, chemistry (or more broadly materials science) is arguably more relevant than physics per se.
At my last company (US on the east coast) I was the only remote member of the team, and the 5 hour time difference, although relatively small, and with significant work-day overlap, was still very difficult. Having to wait until the afternoon for a code review, staying online to support my team later.

It did mean that my mornings were totally free and I could get a lot done - so it swings both ways, but outsource everything to Europe isn't the panacea some people assume it to be.
We used to have a system where people ejected sewage into the street, too. It’s telling that you equate air pollution to sewage, and then imply that pumping it into the street constitutes proper disposal.
Not just the performance, I think the less efficient combustion (from backpressure?) would also lead to more CO and perhaps worse mileage so more CO2.

I don't know how the numbers stack up though, maybe you could make the filter really big, like a meter wide or something and the airflow would be good enough? The filter would need replacing/cleaning quite often as well, probably every 10,000km or so.

> According to ISTAT [...] foreigners are 32.6% of people convicted for any crime

I believe that is the figure for prisoners, which includes people in pre-trial detention. The page is very unclear, because the text talks about 'condannati' (which google translate renders, maybe wrongly, as 'prisoners' rather than 'convicts'), but the graph is labelled with 'detenuti', which I think unambiguously includes people who are detained but not convicted.
It's hard to compare them because the goals are different. Kata containers seeks to harden container security by wrapping it with a highly optimized VM. Sysbox seeks to enable containers to run system-level workloads (systemd, dockerd, k8s) without requiring complex images, privileged containers, special mounts, etc.

Also, Sysbox is a pure OS-virtualization technology, which means it runs in environments where hardware virtualization is not available (e.g., a cloud VM, since most cloud providers don't allow nested virtualization).
Education is a choice in our industry. I'm self taught and I'm paid the same as colleagues with PhDs.

As for medical care, all half decent tech employers provide comprehensive healthcare coverage.

I don't know what you've been reading, but unless healthcare costs $200,000 a year (it doesn't cost 1/10th of that), you're better off in the US.

As for "worse infrastructure", you'll have to be specific. There's crumbling infrastructure all over the US and Europe.

Worse medical care is also a stretch. In fact, in some areas (heart attacks and strokes, for example) the US is a world leader. [1]

I'll remind you that new grads in the US are often paid substantially more than senior level developers in the EU.

I'd be interested in a quantum theory where this statement made sense, to be sure.

Penrose's ideas about quantum consciousness are widely challenged and not the mainstream, and his basing it on the Incompleteness Theorems is especially problematic, as those only even make sense in the context of certain kinds of formal systems. The later Orch-OR theory has been falsified, in fact:
