Well, actually, there might be something about Fortran that makes it harder to maintain than other new programming languages. I don't know but it would have been interested to hear such details in this article.

I believe if there is a lot of math in a simulation codebase that can't easily be verified and you aren't sure if it's all necessary, then you should not assume that the simulation is correct. So there is where I think the instinct to modernize could lead to objectively better software.

The math that needs to be verified and might need to be changed should be easy to find and change and verify. To improve the feedback loop, having an interactive visualization may be objectively much better than a batch job that requires a long wait and another program to create a graph.

So I don't know the actual program, but it's quite possible that you would be able to more effectively predict the weather if you changed it completely to work like this:

1. Pull out the core equations and put them in a UI (not necessarily editable structurally).

2. Add an option to select different equations/modeling strategies. Show the equations prominently.

3. Make the parameters for the equations show up in the UI.

4. Convert the system to use CUDA or OpenCL and get them a brand new Nvidia 3090 or something.

So now they have an interactive parallelized fast simulation where the equations/strategies and parameters used are prominently displayed.

I think the objection is going to be that now it's harder to change the equations. And if they really change the equations a lot then that is a valid argument. If they change the equations once every ten or twenty years, or just forget about the old ones and ignore their effects while piling on more equations, then that argument doesn't necessarily hold water.
the tl;dr of this article seems to indicate that.

- There have been surgeries traced back to one facility and one doctor inside a detainment center

- There is currently no evidence that this practice is widespread or policy.

The fact is it still did happen within an ICE facility but it might be more limited in scope.
> it is the norm to be fired on the spot and without recourse for something that has nothing to do with your job

You're going to have to prove that it's the norm because it's never happened to me, or anyone I have ever interacted with. In a country of 350 million people you can pull out half a dozen examples of anything. But please point me to a single peer-reviewed study that shows it's normal or expected to be fired in the manner you describe. You can't.
Keep in mind the Linux foundation is mostly a vehicle for a bunch of empty suits to cash in on "all things Linux". The influence on kernel development is negligible except for the occasional cringe moment.
I'm not sure where you got the idea that it's out of date. It's based on Firefox ESR and is kept up to date with upstream patches. I'm also not sure how you came to the conclusion that it's "hacked up", considering many of its privacy enhancing patches made it into Firefox.

Pretty much. But they had not ridden Netscape that far down to the bottom just yet. Don't forget that the roots of Mozilla were seeded in 1998, the Mozilla foundation came 6 years later. Netscape was still hugely popular and FireFox took that popularity and ran with it.

To do this today, with a much more complex product would be no mean feat, back then a browser was a much simpler piece of software than it is today.

Sure. And that doesn't mean it is free from criticism. Rogan's format freely mixes experts, non-experts, and faux-experts in ways that contribute to an overall undervaluing of expertise in our culture. That's worth criticism even if he is friends with a conspiracy nut and wants to shoot the shit.

I've seen companies overpay for mediocre talent and assume that'll get them good work. Obviously doesn't work – you're right that high salary does not _cause_ high competence.

But if someone truly competent has an offer from the Google Chrome team and an offer from Mozilla, and Chrome can offer 10x more, well, you want to do the best you can.
It is certainly very targeted not sure what to call it, voter re-enfranchisement?

While they said they targeted Black and Latinos I imagine they also targeted younger demographics to court a more Democratic turnout.

I personally think it's same as any campaign group that is helping and assisting people get to voting centers. It's money enabling people to vote. And thus it's fine that a Democrat is trying to help his fellow Democrats vote.

The way so many things are being pushed through by 'executive order' seems quite dangerous to me.

On the other hand, the whole 'critical theory' and postmodern movement seems to me to be anti-rational, regressive and even more dangerous to a free society, eg: https://areomagazine.com/2017/03/27/how-french-intellectuals...

They are wrong.

Does that include almost all Americans, regardless of race? Because compared to most of the rest of the world, we're obviously and measurably privileged wrt materials assets, regardless of race[1].

Some three years back they used someone's identity to promote their browser. The guy in question is the one beitish person who used to make videos for Computerphile, forgot his name, sorry. The BAT is worthless and I don't believe it's a healthy incentive for anything but that's just my opinion (it is better than the alternative though, that's for sure). Other than that it's a fine browser but it seems conflicted when you look at its apparent goals.
This article by Yashica Dutt is very relevant in this conversation:

Does upper caste society acknowledge the private reservations it has had for years?

https://scroll.in/article/951818/does-upper-caste-society-ac...

As a person from an upper caste background may I ask you why you think the criteria for reservation should be economic when the bias is because of caste?

I know multiple friends of mine who have suffered innumerable abuse and indignities because of their caste and irrespective of their educational qualifications.

Ambedkar - the chap who wrote the constitution, was ill treated even after his Columbia degree and his PhD. Customers refused to sign him on and colleagues refused to even share the same room with him when he taught as a professor.

It is sad that even in this time and day when we see so much caste oppression the upper castes still continue to refuse to admit it.

By the way, I have never benefited from any reservation of any kind.
Throughout most of human history wealth/power has been wildly skewed into a small number of hands. The historical anomaly is that equality today has become pervasive to the point that we find inequality to be noteworthy. Current trends may be reversion to the historical mean without anything being fundamentally broken.

It's been a hell of a good few centuries for much of humanity. We should keep it up, of course, but a reversion is normal in a dynamic system with feedback even when an upward trend is "sticking".
It's just that "it depends" is not very satisfactory, it's the default answer to all questions.

All questions are fractal in nature, and unsolvable without a problem-domain. By defining the domain a thing can be answered, such as "how much force do i need to throw this ball over there?" Otherwise no definite answer can be provided, because the next galaxy over tips the scales just a bit, as does the infinitesimally small difference in the ball's structure, and so forth.

>During COVID I saw with my own eyes that you can go from 100-to-1 in 6 months if you haven't made sure you got emergency funds on the side

This is why I think a social aid/basic income system with free healthcare is a must. You can't choose to be healthy and not to have accidents. I think we must all provide a basic net for the things outside our control. Of course I'm biased, being a finn in covid times is a tremendous blessing
They had a GREAT CEO.

Brendan Eich.

He not only was heavily involved with destroying IE's monopoly, he was able to start Brave in a punishing market (competing against Google, Apple, and his own FF) and made it a contender.

But, he wasn't woke enough. And for that, everyone will now pay dearly.

I daresay, learning that someone else is entitled to a competing view is difficult. Allowing others to have a view other than yours means that you and those you agree with may pay a cost. But the cost of not allowing any other opinion whatsoever to exist other than the one you believe in will eventually have a much much greater cost, in many more places than you would think. Mr. Eich once gave $1K to a cause that was anti-gay. He backtracked and apologized but was cancelled anyways. The cost of losing the only open contender to the spyware that passes as a browser is but a byproduct of the immature view that destroyed FF. It will eventually come back to kill those that think you are not allowed to marry your mother, and probably, eventually, to those that think you are allowed to be religious.

Venezuelan Authorities to Govern All Bitcoin Mining, by Decree
Privacy wise, it seems top notch, from what I've read.

However, I don't understand their business model. This is what I understood so far, please correct me if I'm wrong:

- They created 1.5M BATs;

- Brave users can fund their wallet, or earn BATs by viewing ads;

- Brave users can also tip the websites they visit;

- Once a month, they will split the BATs I earned accordingly by each website I visited(is there proof this happens?);

- Brave users will eventually be able to withdraw their BATs;

I realize this is very simplified, please correct me if I'm wrong.

How does Brave make money? I've read reports about Brave inserting refferal links in their homepage, but can't confirm this.

That isn't a good summary of the bill, and it didn't even mention preferred pronouns. What it actually did was add "gender identity or expression" to a list of protected characteristics to be considered when prosecuting hate speech and as a factor in criminal sentencing. (Peterson's interpretation was that it would have the effect of making misgendering or failure to use preferred pronouns into hate speech, thus that it was a law that amounted to compelled speech.)
Even if we intentionally blow a nuclear power plant, it will not be an extinction event, not even close.

But so far nuclear power statistically is safer than any other source (wind, solar, hydro, coal), deaths per Wh, including the worst events like Chernobyl.

There’s no dark black magic inside nuclear power plant. It just burns uranium and heats water to spin turbines. Uranium burning happens all the time on Earth, in fact, if Uranium did not burn, the Earth would be much colder place.

(Technically, it is not burning of course, it’s fission.)
My understanding, especially with WSL1, was that there was a concern about the Linux trademark if MS used the name "Linux Subsystem for Windows" which would have been a better name, since WSL1 didn't actually use a Linux kernel. WSL2 does though.

"Windows' Linux Subsystem" might have been better as well (WLS), using it as a posessive statement, or "Windows' Subsystem of/with Linux" which would keep the same WSL abbreviation.

People absolutely can do this. Research is done and presented in journals regularly without controversy. It is just that not all criticism is valid. "I'm criticizing the research" is not an invincible shield that one can hide behind. The research must be methodologically sound and dispassionate. The specific transphobic guests that Rogan has brought on have not done this kind of research.

And my point is that no test exists which will determine who are the "genius" kids.

There are tens of thousands of adults all over the world who went to Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Stanford etc. that then went on to live completely mediocre middle class lives.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with that but my point is that how you do on a test at 16-17 years old does not make you a "genius", nor does scoring in the 99.999% ensure that a person will achieve academic or career outcomes superior than the person who scored 99.9%

In addition in the case of the U with diaeresis in some languages it means the vowel is sounded and not silent as opposed to indicating independent syllable.

The ability to extend QGIS because of the C++ and Python APIs is immensely powerful.
It seems common for Americans to read or hear statements, infer an unsaid statement X, and then assume X was the thing explicitly being communicated by the speaker, even though X was never said, which then elevates X higher than any other thing that was actually said. It seems to happen automatically and without conscious decision to do so. I’ve written about it before. You should probably be aware of this habit/bias, because I think you may have just performed it.
