Having worked in the area, this is something I have no trouble believing. And believe me, the side effects of anti-depressents are something I am aware of acutely. They could be very tough indeed.

Edit: from your link (and thanks!): "Whitaker acknowledges that psychiatric medications do sometimes work but believes that they must be used in a "selective, cautious manner. [...] And honestly, they should be used on a short-term basis."[12]"

This is something that makes acute good sense to me.

Edit: let me draw a comparison with painkillers for the body (antidepressants might perhaps be likened to painkillers for the mind). Body painkillers are good, they're useful, but if you need them long-term, someone needs to start looking for some root cause. Some unfortunate souls will develop chronic persistent pain that will need them to take physical painkillers for a long period or even their whole lives, but these should be the rarity. Same with antidepressants.

It is explained in the ACCC concepts paper [1] under the heading “Sharing of user data.” The idea is that both news organisations and digital platforms make money from targeted advertising, but digital platforms have access to more data, and thus an advantage at the negotiating table.

I believe when an extension requires matches permission for say ://netflix.com/, it asks for permission to load the content script to the browser tab that has that URL opened. Which means that even if the extension involves the slightest bit of modification on the UI, it still requires the same permission as one that involves the user's sensitive information. It seems this page suggests that the extension could also read usernames and password: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/permission-request-mess...

For what it's worth, we can confidently say that our extension does UI modifications without ever being involved with user sensitive info. Regardless, will definitely open source the extension. Hopefully this will win some user's trust. Stay tuned!

Differences beteen Idris 1 and 2: [1]

There are a bunch of new features (scroll down to that in the doc) but the main thing seems to be moving to QTT (seems similar in theme to the bicolored calculus of constructions?) which allows explicit handling of erasure. Nice to see this as its the logical next step and consitent with Edwin Brady's larger project of making dependent types practical.

Note also the default target is Chez Scheme (Racket and Gambit supported) instead of C because its faster. Wouldn't it be funny to port it to Chicken?

> I always wondered why kids could learn a handful of languages and adults struggle to learn anything past one.

> Maybe it’s my personal bias but it seems a lot easier to learn other things than language as an adult.

I started to speak properly when I was 4, I was a bit late. But imagine the following:

You'd go to a country that you don't know the language of for the next 5 years. You can assume that you don't need to worry about your survival as food, water and shelter are provided for you among some luxuries like internet. Basically, you achieved financial independence.

The challenge becomes: in this new land you have to learn the local language within 5 years. There is, however, one caveat. You are only allowed to interact with the local population in their (spoken and body) language. You're not allowed to use any other educational resource. In other words, you have to learn a new language exactly like a baby does.

Could you do it in 5 years?

I bet if you set your mind to it, you really could.
What's inportant is not the absolute value but the differences over the year when measured in the exact same condition with the same device for which error margins are known. It also just depends where this thermometer was. If it had been sitting in plain sun all day long and wasn't specially built for that it will always be at quite higher temperature the same way any surface can reach really high temperature.
Yes, this is true. My argument is that I think I could learn faster than a child at a given task if you stripped me of any adult responsibilities. The fact that children are having to learn to navigate the world at the same time they're learning to speak is precisely what would allow me to beat them.
We don't "feel different" because there is no evolutionarily useful purpose to feeling bad about cutting off a hair. And that's probably why most people don't feel so bad about having an animal killed in order for us to eat. It seems likely to me that our ability to have compassion for animals is in some sense a "misfire" of a system that was "intended" to help us cooperate with other humans. We're stretching a system way beyond its original purpose.

My point is just that the way we feel about a certain action says almost nothing about the nature of reality or morality, but rather about us as a species. Whether or not stones have a consciousness wouldn't affect how bad we feel about crushing them into dust.

For what it's worth, I tend to lean toward the "not far enough" camp. I see no good reason to assume that there is anything special about any particular arrangement of matter that causes there to be something that it is like to be that matter. I think it is more accurate to consciousness, than to say that we are conscious.

There are still interesting questions to answer about consciousness. One of them being "why does the brain spend so much effort simulating an internally consistent model of what it's "like" to be me?" - and we know that it is, because it flaps my jaws and wiggles my fingers on the keyboard in patterns that are consistent with that It seems like a lot of resources to spend on something that isn't incredibly useful somehow. But those are questions about the mechanics of the brain, not about some mystic property or sensory qualia

Absolutely not correct. Read the terms from what they sent everyone in the beta program:

"You are responsible for installing the Starlink Kit. Do not allow third parties, or those not associated with SpaceX, to access or install the Starlink Kit unless you obtain approval from SpaceX," Starlink says.

"Do not install the Starlink Kit at your home if you do not have the authority to do so. It is your responsibility to ensure compliance with all applicable zoning, ordinances, covenants, conditions, restrictions, lease obligations and landlord/owner approvals related to the installation location."

SpaceX is not doing any of these installs themselves or through contractors. They've been very up front about this and how it's not just going to be for the beta program.

Keep up the FUD though.

It's a phased array antenna -- it's really simple to install. People are already doing this themselves on top of RVs and work trucks. It has motors that are self-adjusting. Their instructions are "1) plug in socket, 2) point at sky."

Web dev state in 2020, insights
For several months, we’ve been running a survey to get the insights on web development state in the rough 2020. Glad to finally share its results.
Read about:
- the challenges in app design, development, and support more than 150+ of the respondents are dealing with now.
- the COVID-19 impact they experience.
- the alternative ways they use to speed up app development and revamp their strategies, and more.
I am not ruling out the possibility that there is a "recruiting should be hell" cartel but I believe there is no general bad bureaucracy HR bloat cartel and that it is an unintended effect, hazing, esprit de corps, HR self interest etc. The conspiracies are probably more simple like "no poaching" or wage cartels?
" there are several distinct things they could actually want to be doing"

Yes - I get that - but this is my point.

It's such a complicated tool (or rather, specifics are not obvious) that people don't even know how to ask questions.

This is part of my point.

Ambiguous questions, ambiguous answers, a real propensity for people to be giving really bad answers.

This is endemic with Git, more so than I've seen with anything else.

I sometimes wonder if Git should should actually be used with some kind of visual representation as a default standard - and that our propensity for 'command line interface' as the de-facto means of real interface with computers may not be appropriate to communicating 'what is going on'.

Much like people fuss desperately over road signs, human factors in automobiles ... perhaps we should be thinking in these terms much more with this tool.
I found this funny:

> Ruby more disliked than Java? What’s going on? I’ve had some fun programming in Ruby; it is, for the most part, a “do what I meant, not what I said” language, and 15 years ago, that promise made lots of programmers fall in love.

Yes, and now someone else have to maintain your fun code! The problem of maintaining "do what I meant, not what I said"-code is that after a while it becomes "does what some guy (who is long gone) meant at one time."
It's interesting I actually made a similar version of this called "quantum immortal minesweeper" in which upon clicking a bomb it would check whether or not you could calculate the bomb was there, if you could not, it would change the position of the bomb to another possible location.

People ended up being confused by this idea, so I instead made a button that they could click if they thought it was not possible to figure out the next mine. It's a little bit janky but if anyone is interested you can check it out here: qims.greg-mitten.dev

You are certainly correct if you vote for the center-left or center-right parties. But that is true in all western states.

Are you familiar with French politics? For all the crap Americans give them about surrendering in the world wars, the french have had the courage to sideline both their center right and center left parties and now the biggest parties are nationalist and socialist.

I doubt your coin's diameter is exactly 19mm. By omitting digits after the decimal you are misleading people into believing that your number is more accurate than it really is.

If you round 327.55 K to 328K and convert that back to Celsius you end up with 54.85°C instead of the original 54.4°C. Increasing inaccuracy by half a degree for the sake of inaccuracy is bad science.

Ok, but it isn't worth it. Yes, you get more "power value" out of nuclear fuel if you ration it. But even if you overbuild your power by 2x your current target load and let the extra go to 'waste', your ore reserves will still likely give you many hundreds of hours of power.

I've tried and made many buffered, circuit-controlled, meticulously fine-tuned power plants that are optimized for fuel conservation and they always have some hitch or edge case where they act erratically, or the steam is not balancing, or the reactors cooled down too much, or... (Or you're lategame and you outscaled it too far and need to eke the UPS back.) And is the moment when you're under siege and losing losing power really the best time to be debugging that 30-combinator fuel-optimizing circuit network you picked up off reddit and randomly modified until it seemed to work? Right.

A challenge: calculate how many hours the total amount of ore you are willing to mine will last you. If you maximize efficiency through productivity modules -- even gradually -- I bet it will be hundreds if not thousands of hours.

So you make a trade: a small fixed increased cost in fully automating and maximizing nuclear fuel production in exchange for the benefit of vastly reducing the complexity of construction and operation of your primary power production facility. No tanks, no circuits, no buffering -- instead, full automation and productivity for fuel production and 100% power all the time. Give yourself a(n automated) backup chest or two of fuel nearby for days (calculate it!) of time to deal with fuel production problems. Would you even have that much time if you burned all the coal in the same area?

I would take a trade like that every day.

"There is a finite (relatively small) number of concepts necessary to mastering git."

This is only partly true. The degree of variation and options in the command line actually fiddles with that 'simplicity' quite fundamentally.

Even if one has a 'clear understanding of the concepts' - the commands don't necessarily map clearly to that model. And there are so many commands, so many little variations.
I'd say that still provides value to those that aren't over a few hundred users.

(edit/sidenote: along with SSO - my org has thousands of users.)
In the shade. No-one hangs thermometers in the sun here. But yeah; a house grade thermometer is not that accurate I guess. Thing is; when the heatwave (and hurricane after it) was at that time, it was so hot that people (and dogs) were vomiting (including me) because it was so hot (I am not from here and definitely not used to this kind of weather; I had the same problem when I was in India during a heatwave). This year nothing came close; neither on my imperfect thermometer nor the physical struggles.

I have a non-24 hour circadian rhythm and I think they are usually if not always closer to 24 hours than to that, but it is an interesting idea and as someone who also has bad insomnia I can see the appeal. However, one thing to keep in mind for anyone who doesn't already have Non-24 is that it may be that Non-24 has both a genetic aspect and a trigger and trying something like that could be the trigger that prevents you from sleeping on a 24 hour schedule again. I encourage everyone to be careful with your circadian rhythm since messing it up causes major problems (in my case, I get the strong sense that there is an issue with syncrhonization and different parts of my body shift at different rates and some parts synchronize with the sun). Also, some of us with Non-24 find it harder get to sleep during the day and I'd guess that would be the case for many people on this type of schedule (it might not be possible to keep a by-the-numbers schedule).
I don't think that follows from what's been disclosed. What seems to be the case, based on the disclosures, is that the signature validation code does a correct job validating the parts of the file the MSI header describes, but does not check parts of the file that aren't described in the header. As far as I'm aware, adding arbitrary anything to the end of an MSI doesn't do anything since it's not described in the headers, so you can't use this to compromise an actual MSI file. You can only use this bug to fake signing for specific other file types that are read back-to-front where the actual MSI parts will be ignored.
I showed it to a friend last night, first thing he said, 'hey this looks a bit like programming'.

Me being a programmer only saw a 2D version of Minecraft (my initial opinion), and I thought I wouldn't like it too much. Been playing the demo non stop. will buy it later tonight... AFTER work... :+)

p.s. I hope it keep in development for a few years so I can play this with my (now too) little one too.

Definitely interesting as a meta-analysis.

As someone who has worked extensively at the intersection of architecural design and manufacturing, automating and annotating all processes involved definitely seems like where the field is going. You can see this in the rise of BIM, generative design, and next-gen CAD/CAM integration.

At the same time, the resurgence of VR is democratizing use of such tools on both ends of the pipeline: producer and consumer.

Lastly, you have next gen building tools starting to emerge in the form of building-scale 3d printing and advanced manufacturing robotics.

For those with the wherewithal, it's a great time to be building things.

Why do you need it? You can simply remove the battery (without any tools).
If I read the description correctly, it would need to be a jar file, though, not an msi. The trick allows to hide a malicious jar file from the scanner, not to hide a malicious msi. I think it’s better described by “take a malicious jar and prepend a signed msi to hide it from the scanner.”
German watchdog launches Amazon investigation: report
As an adult who speaks 3 languages, I don't think that premise is misguided. All the languages I'm fluent in today, I was already fluent in by the time I was 8. Learning a 4th language in my teens (compulsory in high school) was way harder - I can barely read that one and can't write, speak, or listen in it. Even now I grind through Duolingo lessons in that language and barely retain anything.

I assume that most bi-lingual or multi-lingual adults today picked up the fundamentals of all those languages as children. They didn't learn them after growing up.
The question sounds individualistic. More than what it gives to ME I think about what it means for US as a couple. Our children are the fruit of our union. Family is such a basic concept, engraved, at least in me. A man and a woman (in our case) who promise to be true to one another and bring new life into the world. "Purpose" is almost a too small word, I guess it's archetypical. Maybe we are old-fashioned but for us marriage and bringing children into the world is The Thing. "What's in it for me?" is a poison.
> sushi -yes. except very little sushi from what i saw in sf. a lot of weird rolls, which is not sushi to me. good sushi was in tokyo, where i have lived for several months.

Ok, you lost me there. I've lived in SF for 10 years and there's sushi all over the place. Actual, real sashimi, nigiri, whatever you want. A la carte, set meals, omakase, whatever. Some of it is pretty high end, and you'll pay more in SF for an equivalent meal in Tokyo.

Beyond that, it's a little weird to bring up Tokyo as an example... the sushi in Tokyo is better than the sushi in pretty much any place in the US, perhaps in pretty much any place outside Japan. Not really a fair comparison.

Regardless, I kinda just think that you were visiting the wrong places when you visited SF. I agree that there's an annoying amount of of mediocre food that seems to exist more to look nice than to taste amazing, but that's true of many cities. (But these places tend not to last that long.) There's lots of fantastic food in SF, and frankly it's not even that hard to find, so I'm baffled by your bad experience.
Indeed, it’s a shame since grass-fed tastes much better and is more environmentally friendly.

Either way, we can’t just “eat what the cows eat” directly and there are a lot more variables to consider.
Does (5) happen automatically when running the file as an MSI file? If not, this doesn't seem that severe. If so, it's pretty severe.
> he was a brutal dictator who caused the deaths of millions

This is a common but incomplete misunderstanding.

Stalin was asked to be the leader of a backward, pre-industrial empire.

By plundering the Kulak farmers, he was able to finance industrialization and a military, just in time to repel Germany. (Mao did the same thing later.)

Fun fact 1: the American builders of Ford's River Rouge factory complex afterwards worked for Stalin to build his factories.

Fun fact 2: Stalin was both ally and enemy of all of the Allied and Axis countries at various times during WW2. You could write an entire textbook on just his changing allegiances.

Had Stalin not defeated Germany, the Russian people would have been enslaved and starved to death - the stakes were very high in WW2. Typically the Germans would cut calories in occupied countries by half every few months - you can do the math on how long people survived.

Of course, Japan told their Singapore prisoners, "Grow your own food."
> because if i literally ask anyone i know

That doesn't really tell me anything about SF, but it does tell me a lot about the people you know.

> you're known for california rolls.

Me? I mean, I live in (approximately) Sacramento, not SF; of course, it's LA that is known for California rolls, anyway.

> known doesn't mean known just to you.

Yeah, I mean “known in media and culture”; not for a particular regional cuisine, but for the cosmopolitan variety of high-quality cuisine available.

> in a city i want to live in, i walk outside and pick from 5 good places.

Sounds like SF to me.

The good places and the popular, large, heavily marketed and online-reviewed places with glaring signage, though, only occasionally overlap.

This is mostly true but it also comes with self deception/naivety that the people in charge won't do harm to civilians.

Given evidence to the contrary they prefer to imagine it as a lie.

So it's not correct today that they condone anything the people in charge are doing for national security they repress the existence of the things they don't condone.
I think signing software is futile anyway since it now behaves like malware that exfiltrates user data anyway. An installer that verifies its file hash has the same level of protection.

Software development licences are a huge scam doing more for DRM than for actually real security.
