I really hate the ambiguity of "processed meat". What does processed mean, and what's the carcinogen? Is frozen uncooked seasoned meat bad?

This is actually a situation where labeling would help, because there's a fair bit of grey area that consumers otherwise need to navigate themselves.
Same goes for toddlers. It's harder to unspool the entire roll if it's "the wrong way". I hate it.
Prop 65 shouldn’t be amended, it should be appealed.

As stated, WSL2 is a full Linux VM. It's a real Linux kernel which means you have 100% compatibility for all Linux tools instead of workaround Cygwin.

Also the filesystem access is shared. That's why WSL is a separate thing, otherwise you could always just run a VM yourself. WSL lets you easily browse files, operate on the same files, and even call processes and pipe results across both sides.
The issue isn't that the regulation is providing education. It's that the state mandates everyone put idiotic signs that are obviously meaningless everywhere.

If the state wanted to be useful they should maintain a useful and easy to understand list of common substances and explain in simple terms exactly what the risk is.

More creation, less control of people for no benefit.
My understanding with processed meats is it only affects rarer cancers.

The life expectancy change is not worth worrying about. Who cares if a rarer cancer chance increase by 18%.

I care about the fact air pollution(PM 2.5) will most likely kill me and if it changes by 1% that's a big deal.

Plus I dont like air pollution, so are happy to pay for less today, it's also an instant return.
Its really a joke at this point. When everything is actually potentially cancerous, what matters is HOW MUCH.
Quite right. I stand corrected w.r.t. my inaccurate statement about Tritium.
Fldpi only loads the register, rounding according to the current rounding mode, so you still only have 63 bits of precision when you load the value.

For intermediate calculations it incorporates the internal extended pi via the GRS bits.

And yeah the train wreck of argument reduction was my reference
I agree that education and information isn't nannying, but the Prop 65 warnings are so broad that they're useless.
As long as you're consistent.

Most jack of all trades jobs are at small companies in my experience, I've found most small places advertise themselves, not through agencies, so you can get a jack of all trades job there. They don't pay as well though, it's the trade off imho, interesting work that keeps you busy, or specialise and become a corporate consultant - lots of money but boring af.

Other alternatives:

- move into management

- found your own company - your jack of all trades skills will then be pressed

- you could also start a side project and put your energy into that, hopefully it will develop into your own company.

- write a book in something (edit: there's the international consultant route for this to I suppose, become a super specialist in one thing and run around talking about it)

- edit: Sales / evangelist etc
I mean not conceptually, but with major traders then yeah it could happen, and that would be where the value of cryptocurrency comes from.
Prop 65 was passed in 1986. Most Californians today didn't vote on it.

So you really don't know what current Californians do or do not embrace.
I really wish some folks interested in the K-12 space would steal BlockMirror[1] from me and put it in more editors. I have BlockPy[2], but I'm not really trying to move aggressively into that space - I'm just a researcher.

From zero to main(): How to write a bootloader from scratch

> Older cisterns tend to use a siphon system, which works by pushing water upwards until it reaches a point at which it can flow into the bowl. Because that point is above the waterline when the toilet is not being flushed, the system is less likely to develop the same sort of leak.

That does not sound like the typical American home toilet. I don't think I've ever seen a toilet using that kind of siphon system, I'm having trouble imagining how it works.

Why don't we use that kind in the USA?

I'd guess ordinary toilets in the USA are the worst of both worlds then, no water-saving small-flush, plus leak-prone design.
Before I read about Precursor, I did not realize that FPGAs could be at the center of a low-power design.
It’s been documented in studies that 100% of people who have had cancer, drank water at some point in their lives. Case closed, ban DHMO.
Nineveh, not coincidentally, apparently had the first elevated aqueducts. With arches.
Right. Obviously if they put the sign on nothing, no information would be communicated. And the same if they put it on "50% of things" (defined however you like) because everyone knows the median thing isn't a real cancer risk. Maybe it could communicate the breaking of some threshold, but not a meaningful one.

To be truly informative, binary cancer warnings should be rare -- they should appear near a threshold where reasonable people are likely to be swayed by them (but not certain to be swayed by them -- at that point we're probably labeling too few things.)

But enough about binary labels, though. They should have to put figures on them: "Scientists believe that the cancer risk of this cup of coffee is statistically expected to decrease your lifespan by 5 minutes, plus or minus a day, with 95% confidence."
I hate this. The other day I was on a multi-person Zoom, and one woman's stupid iPhone or email kept going off, making that shrill DING sound, and every time it happened, the camera focus went to her, even if she wasn't talking, because Zoom thought she was -- the DING was that loud.
I was familiar with the work of SITAR, not so much about the other lab which I presume does similar work.

TSMC is a national asset of Taiwan, not just Taiwan but Western powers treat it as a strategic asset, unconfirmed sources say it's rigged to self-destruct incase the island gets invaded.

Unless the measure is page-load time, in which case it's a damn good measure.
Articles like these (I've read a few), while well-intentioned, seem to contribute to self righteous ideas about video calls... As someone who has invested in a video conferencing setup, I don't really think it's fair to expect any friend or colleague to do _any_ effort to make themselves sound good.

People often draw the wrong conclusions from posts like this. I've worked with people who've taken offense if anyone's video conferencing gear wasn't up to their bar, and it felt like a meta-topic that was never worth the time.
It has gotten ridiculous.
Is any sort of government intervention considered "nanny state"? Prop65 is as not-nannystate as you can get, considering it doesn't try to ban the products or even tax them.
If you don't mind, I'd love to hear more about what you are doing differently with keyboard handling (and IME support).

I'm asking partly because I know this stuff is ripe with complexity and edge cases, and also because my head's in that space a bit right now, since I've been slowly fixing a bug in Alacritty that's been driving me crazy with modifiers at startup on X11.
That's an interesting phrasing.

Obviously, if they wants that, it's not involuntary.

You strawmanned a figure out of thin air.

And you didn't ask if they likes their taxes going to existing corporate subsidies, or F35s, or Presidential golf vacations. All of those could be traded as well.
Something tells me that you will end up in HTML/CSS/DOM and bubbling/sinking event propagation schema (used in browsers) as the most flexible one, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_bubbling

I did quite a lot of different attempts to GUI Holy Grail in last 20 years ( https://sciter.com/10-years-road-to-sciter/ ) . I am pretty confident that DOM and DOM events is the most flexible (and so robust) foundation so far.
Any pointers to a comparison between Clean's uniqueness typing and GHC's linear types? And is Rust the motivating factor behind linear types cropping up lately? I see Idris is now getting them as well.

Sorry if I sounded obvious. For me at that time it was very curious that, after solving complex control problems to move those robotic arms, something so mundane such as grasping an object would still be unsolved.

“Membrane-assisted radiant cooling” Technology to replace air-conditioners
It's a bad label, but as far as I can tell it basically means cured meat preserved with nitrates.

To your specific question, if the meat needs freezing, it's probably not cured and therefore fine.

The current wave, by the way, is to hide the nitrates by using "celery salt". It may come from celery, but it has the exact same effect.
No mentions of "live stream" in the comments or document? Strange... Other platforms need live streaming, user/admin accounts, and "super chats"!
> And the transition from Julian to Gregorian just changed the leap year rules. It didn't change the fact that there's no year 0.

It is not issue of Julian vs Gregorian date, but the issue that ISO 8601 uses different conventions. Traditionally, there were two disjoint timelines (AD/CE and BC/BCE), both starting at year 1. Within these conventions, it make sense that first century is 1-100 CE, second century 101-200 CE and so on.

ISO 8601 instead uses astronomical year numbering ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomical_year_numbering ), which has signed integer year numbers including year 0. Therefore, there is no beginning of timeline and most natural way how to define centuries by div 100, e.g. years 0-99 is century 0, and so on.
> What's wrong with letting people install a different app store, and apps?

You would end up with something similar to downloading games on Windows: Every big company will force you to use their own app store to download their software which has absolutely no benefit to the end user.

It's just as silly to promise something you can't possibly know as it is to assume this is a state sponsored attack
IDK, I walk into a store and I don't see warnings on every item. Hyperbole is understandable, but mostly relative to states with zero warnings...zero warning of cancer-causing substances...hmm.

Personally I've noticed that I tend to look past the items with labels. I don't like to buy them. So the the labels seem to do something, at least as a data point.

In that case, does the labeled item situation protect me from cancer more than the no-label same-items I see in another state? I have to wonder...Personally I think I'd rather know. Maybe the label sizing can be made adjustable based on contents, but it's not a terrible start vs. no warning at all.
Hi there! Yes, the transaction log stuff is of interest to me, and ties in with the "Questie" stuff (the one listed as inspired by the causeway debugger). Not quite on the front burner yet, but it'll have to be to make our lives easier.

Goblins already supports distributed (acyclic) GC! And yes ocap security does tie in nicely. In a sense ocaps make this really easy... if you think about an ACL approach the user has to point at the object they have access to and the object has to point back, but since ocaps are based on "having references to objects", in general GC locally can just be the very GC that the native runtime provides. Across runtimes (in the distributed code), distributed GC likewise falls out easier, though the algorithm doesn't know how to handle cycles when Alice on machine A points at Bob on machine B which points at Alice on machine A again. So you have to manually cycle break in those cases, but they're relatively rare.

Amazingly, Electric Communities Habitat had distributed cyclic garbage collection, which just blows my mind: http://erights.org/history/original-e/dgc/

But that requires special cooperation to traverse the object graph held by the runtime's garbage collector, which we don't have access to in Racket (or most languages) unfortunately. It would really be cool to see that tech revived somewhere though.

Hope that answered your question somewhat!
The Miele dishwasher I used to have in my old flat used around 7 litres per wash. My current, not quite as fancy one, uses around 9 litres.

That's like just over a minute of the tap being on full blast for an aerated tap.

I am sure you could compete with that if you really tried, but from what I've seen a lot of people simply leave the tap on for the majority of the time they are washing the dishes.
My $0.02: A). join (or start) a startup. I suspect most would love to have someone like you or B). at a larger organization, join a team that is carved out from the overall org working on a new initiative. Depending on the company, job posts may specifically call out this sort of team.

I recently switched to no meat lunch's. I've been using beans as a meat replacement for a lot of things. What I've found so surprising is how many variety's of beans there are. There's well over a dozen at just my local store. Before I did it I kinda assumed there was just like soy beans, black beans, maybe a few more.
Very true. I have been using fish for the last five years without really learning the shell. The auto-complete itself feels so good and makes me productive.

Confession: I haven't taken pains to learn any shell after that. Almost similar to why I never took to try out VSCode after getting used to Sublime Text. So many demos, videos etc. quite tempt me to try out VSCode but still haven't ever got to it)

The only thing that I took note was to install https://github.com/oh-my-fish/oh-my-fish every time I setup a machine.

Would be great to know of any quick to learn fish-hacks or fish-for-dummies resources
Both companies are interested in setting precedent. There are procedural advantages to bench trials. For example, bench trials require the presiding judge to stipulate findings of fact while jury trials don't. Jury trials are, therefore, much more difficult to appeal. Additionally, appellate courts are afraid to overturn jury verdicts because the standard to do so is so high.

Most corporate litigators are aware that once it leaves the room with the jury one side is most likely f-u-c-k fucked on appeal.
Does celery ship with the warning/all the vegetables that contain nitrates?
> Is any sort of government intervention considered "nanny state"?

Yes, generally the term is only used by people mocking any suggestion that the government should regulate anything. Mask requirements during a pandemic, laws against drunk driving, laws about how restaurants need to handle raw meat, etc.

As I said, it depends on Google's implementation of 3rd party app stores. Any platform has power over what appears on the platform. Pointing out that Google does as well is practically axiomatic.

You aren't just making an argument against google, your line if thinking would vilainize all platforms. At the same time that you're implying that no platform should be allowed to dictate what gets on the platform. I fundamentally disagree. As-is, I think Android has exposure to anti-trust accusations. But an open system of allowing 3rd party app stores nullifies that. Of course they'll still have control, but the measure of abusing power isn't that you have it, it's how you use it. And Google might be smart enough to realize that their use of power until now has brought too much anti-trust scrutiny, and that needs to change. Or maybe they'll screw it up, but you seem to automatically believe whatever they do will be bad. That is a narrow view that assumes Google doesn't understand the dangerous position it's in right now.
Fiction books are not worth it. Technical books are if you write it like a cookbook and list things they need to have in order to do the things you write about doing.

> how many actually think of their jobs being decades-long certainties though?

People plan for their careers early in their adult life, spend anywhere from close to half a decade to a decade or more studying for that career, and generally have an idea of what the market rate for labor in the role they want to work is. They also expect to, on average, make more money in the future than they did in the past as they advance in their career.

That's just so heartless. Someone not able to prioritize housing and food over for example drugs has a very serious problem and needs help.

People in that situation are still human and are not doomed. People do recover from such ailments all the time given the right structure and support.

And if they can't recover they still deserve the support. That's our responsibility to each other. When "personal responsibility" means just letting people suffer and die we should leave it behind.

A couple of years ago I was also a great fan of this paradigm where you try to convince yourself that you understand a math concept by coding/simulating it (a procedural, rather than conceptual understanding, if you will). Here for instance I studied the so-called "Secretary Problem", using the tools you mention:

UBI does more than reduce overhead - it gives better incentives and options for people who can't commit to a substantial number of hours per week (at least not initially) to be able to contribute to the economy. But it doesn't solve every problem and shouldn't be expected to.
Our solution: Put away the dry porcelain/glass/stoneware pieces, and let the plastic cups and containers dry in a drying rack.
1) The nitrates aren't a problem by themselves, they react with compounds in the meat during the curing process to form nitrosamines.

2) Celery powder (sorry, apparently I mixed up the salt and the powder) is concentrated.
Complex topic, but I think a tagging and filtering approach is probably the best one. You can’t censor bad ideas without inviting total censorship, so instead just let people choose which things they want to hide.

In any case, I’m talking more about the cultural value of politeness and free expression of ideas, which almost by definition would exclude any extreme sort of hate speech.

> If you can upcast Cat to Animal, why can Cat[] not be converted to Animal[] in the same way?

Basically, because it's not type safe (for the reason I gave above). It doesn't really help expressivity to be able to assign a Cat[] to an Animal[], but as you can only use it safely if you only put cats in it, so you might as well just make the variable Cat[] instead of Animal[].

Obtaining Admin access on Twitter probably can't take down Twitter. Although, an admin might be able to run heavy tasks that a normal user can't access to DOS the service.
