> Raymond argues that "WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) allows unmodified Linux binaries to run under Windows 10. No emulation, no shim layer, they just load and go." Indeed, you can run standard Linux programs now on WSL2 without any trouble.

Seems like the author doesn't understand that he's talking about WSL 1 and not WSL 2.
You were hardly alone and you deserve many upvotes for this admission!
So....sugar bread isn't an essential/staple food therefore doesn't qualify for a tax break?

Whether it's healthy or not has nothing to do with it, there's a specific cut off to prevent brioche/cakes qualifying and it's over it.
It's actually SugarWater unless you get a diet variety.
The City Council banned the ownership and use of chemical weapons and undirected crowd control munitions (e.g. blast balls) by the police dept (or their allies). The police were flooding residential areas with CS gas to the point that, at times, you couldn't see down a block.

In conferences with 10 people at my company, it's 10 MacBooks, and more than half are using either AirPods or AirPods Pro. At least if they're all engineers. I don't usually get into meetings with accountants.

Look, I'm all in favor of people muting by default, especially in larger meetings. But when I chat with my team, 2-5 people usually, the only person who mutes himself usually is the one Linux user.
This kind of info is not actually useful when weighing it up.

The homeschooling is only as good as you want to make it and are capable of making it. You can teach math and care about it? Might go great for your kids. You can't add but think it's ok if you just pray lots? Not so much. So many hard-to-identify confounding factors. Randomised trials these are not.

The correlations here just don't inform your decision.

You want something like: Probability of some particular kind of success given your reasons for doing it, resources and ability. This is an elusive thing to estimate even if the data were very much higher quality.

The other thing worth noting about these studies is they're old. 2007 is /ancient/ compared to the resources you have at your disposal now. The Khan Academy problem bank alone is likely to assist homeshcooling math score averages significantly. That one thing alone is a hell of a resource for homeschool teachers to learn what they need and for students. There are a stack of others too. Darwinian selection will likely pick a few winners that are just great too.

I have only pandemic homeschooled children. I have some reasons you don't care about for not doing it. People considering going that way can probably take a mountain of salt to the claim "Homeschooling is really bad for STEM..." made by username90. When dudul points out "The data ... [is] not super compelling" That seems like a very fair observation to me.

But nobody here is getting papers published, citatation metrics enhanced and so on.

In the absence of clear and compelling data, your prejudice about decisions concerning your family are better than those of some random stranger regardless of the robes of authority they wear.

Pretty cool that this feature is not built in to the operating system.
Your comment seems to exude a kind of inadvertent tone suggesting "they fault is not with them, but in their lack of civilization". In other words, it's likely racist.

By GDP per capita, India is where the US was at in the 1950s. Would we excuse this behavior in the 1950s West just because "they lack privilege, don't know any better, resort to what they know and have been taught to do..."? Of course not, because relative poverty is no excuse for unethical behavior.
Huh, a friend of mine was complaining that you couldn't do something similar -- advertise services with their port numbers via DNS, so you could e.g. host a dozen Minecraft servers from a single IP (with a dozen different hostnames pointing at it), without making users type in port numbers.

Hey it's you! You wrote social cooling too, which I really enjoyed.

Great site. Thank you for sharing it.
Sorry, that's not it for me or many others who face the same issue. As I've mentioned in the blog, I've loosened it to the max with multiple fitbits and I always end up with pain; unless I switch off the heart rate monitor.

When the heart rate monitor is switched off, there is no pain/tingling even if I wear it tight and this has been corroborated by many others in fitbit/apple watch forums.

But since, most of these cases are due to wearing it tight (or the manufacturers want to project it that way) the heart rate monitor issue is not getting enough attention.

At least beef is the only meat in it. If a restaurant wants to reduce the amount of beef in something to save money, as a lacto ovo bovo porco vegetarian I'd much rather see them compensate with more seasoning than by adding some cheaper meat like turkey or chicken like many places do.
The average beauty score ranges from something like -150000 to +150000. Not sure why!
Funnily if we embraced this "pretend there isn't a pandemic and do whatever we want" plan these people seem to be advocating hospitals would likely be so inundated with covid patients that there wouldn't be capacity for much other medical care.

(Note that this isn't a hypothetical - we have real world examples - see New York a few months ago, or Spain.)
Most people aren't vegan, and anyway legumes have more protein density.

I wouldn't admit either of those things, actually. Both are possible but neither certain and could also be false.

Perhaps the healthy, well functioning adults would have been so regardless of schooling. Perhaps the weirdos would have been so regardless of schooling. Perhaps schooling makes the difference for a proportion less than 100% of the students? How much less? Under what circumstances? Who could know with any confidence?

I honestly don't know how you could get clear evidence to say one way or the other as to schooling contribution to the causation of "weirdo-ness"
This isn't a solved problem but is something that is very actively researched.

Google's TAPAS system deals with natural language queries on tabular data:

There are other strands of research too - just finding which tables are relevant to a query is a real problem.
Most Lisp libraries won't automatically work with Parenscript -- think of Parenscript as just being more Lisp-like syntax for JS, rather than a compile from Lisp to JS. It's quite useful if you want to dynamically generate JS, or wish JS had macros, but it won't give you trivia for free.

Hopefully some day there'll be a production-quality Lisp implementation that runs in WebAssembly... Though, I wonder if you could hack together ECL and emscripten?
Interesting since 1 day later a major HN story is about a company (coinbase) blocking political discussions at the workplace. It created a big backlash by people who refused to follow that rule and insisted that anything and everything is politics, arguing that (lack of speech) is still speech, that speech is action, that being neutral is implicit or even active support of one side or the other, and many other completely extreme and unreasonable stances.

Maybe people aren't forcing each other at gunpoint, but it's pretty close.
It's studied, of course, but, yes.

Even if 10 % of patients end up with permanently reduced lung function it's a lot because the disease is so infectious, given the right conditions, and it isn't going anywhere soon, at least not this winter.

Economists value a human life at $10,000,000 USD (there's a great Planet Money podcast about this).

Therefore, 100 lives would be worth about a billion dollars.
Your idiotic down-votes are just proving my point. Keep them coming.
> 1000 people at $1000/month for life could probably be funded with around $1B.

You wouldn't need quite that much. An initial investment of $300k would be sufficient to pay out $12k per year indefinitely one individual, assuming a modest 4% annual growth. So for 1000 individuals you would only need about $300M, not $1B.

Do you have a source on that? I know that they sent some people up to see what NSW was doing but haven't actually heard them say what, if anything, they were going to adopt. There is this 'funny' article from a couple of days ago though; seems like a lot of lies and smoke:

https://www.afr.com/policy/health-and-education/nsw-denies-i...

Gladys also indicated that a large part of NSW's tracing success was the tight integration and information sharing between government agencies. Something that, if you read between the lines, is apparently not the case in Victoria.
As the other commenter replied: thank you for facing this head-on! Your statement now is commendable.

Also — for anyone wanting to get accurate science reporting in the US (about COVID specifically, but I'd also say more generally), definitely check out NPR's large collection of recurring podcasts. I knew those numbers the grandparent commenter posted back in Feb, thanks to NPR's great reporting, and watching this pandemic play out has felt like dramatic irony. NPR has been on the ball with accurate science reporting for years, and it's a crying shame that their audience is dwarfed by those of cable networks.
I’m living in Europe and the general consensus is these rules have cause more harm than benefit. You cannot force diversity quotas without hurting everything about the freedom of starting your own business.

Learning how Forth is implemented and then implementing my own totally blew my mind. I've fallen hard in love with Forth.

My greatest motivation to learn Forth inside and out is its value in rebuilding civilization if we ever find ourselves in a place where a significant amount of technology has been lost. I don't think there's a more powerful and yet incredibly simple way to bootstrap a general purpose programming environment than writing a Forth. It's a relatively small amount of knowledge that needs to be preserved, compared to all the complexity that would be needed to have compilers, garbage collectors, and all that jazz again.

I mean, that's just my personal take on it.
It only becomes a domain of politics and economics if you ignored the settled science for too long like it happened in the US, in countries like South Korea, Vietnam or New Zealand where they have now near zero cases it was as never a politics or economics issue.

Until there is an undisputed demonstration of quantum supremacy [1], which at last check there isn't, then no, these (or any other quantum computer) is not faster than classical approaches.

The reasons companies are investing in these is R&D, or in more capitalist terms, FOMO: if quantum computing does turn out to offer an edge someday, you want to be able to make use of it fast, instead of scrambling to catch up.

Indeed, the lack of a real "REPL" experience is quite limiting with the Java language (you can kinda sorta simulate it with bytecode manipulation, but please don't). However, you can get the full REPL experience on the JVM, along with a gc, if you run Clojure! (Which is itself a bit of an oddball language, since it's dynamic code, immutable data Lisp written for a vm that likes static code and mutable data...)

About zero, really. Unless some of those 80+ year olds are prominent scientists, etc.

The numeric value $1 billion means $1 billion worth of human labor or energy. The amount of this energy is finite, and it's around $80 trillions currently. We can multiply it by 10-100, the exact number doesn't matter, what maters is that it's not a lot bigger than $1 billion. Saying that saving a human life is worth any dollar amount, is same as saying that our society, all 7-something billion people, should spend all their energy on saving that one life.

A human body is really just a vehicle, like a car. When it approaches 80 yo mark, it's worth about nothing. It's just some people believe, with religious rigor, that they're bound to this car forever.
Windows while Hyper-V is enabled runs atop Hyper-V VMM as a VM, same ways as Linux running as Xen Dom0.

WSL2 uses Hyper-V, so Windows running WSL2 is running on Hyper-V, not bare metal. Being a different VM than Windows “Dom0”, Linux Kernel in WSL2 would have direct connection to Hyper-V virtual ethernet switch. I think that’s what is happening.

I share your sadness and I emphathize.

There are so many things like this that I worry, will be lost in the oblivion of time, and erased forever. I think cliche of romanticizing old ways of doing things is totally uncalled for. People don't romanticize about bad things from the old days. They pick the best ones that survived memories and thus talk about it to provide guidance for the future. We should listen to them.

This isn't going to answer your question directly, but as a generalist myself this just hit me, and I think it's valuable.

In my experience, many "experts" in specific programming areas have either gathered sufficient prior knowledge to know the right answer, or more likely have enough prior experience to know where and how to quickly find that answer. That's what makes them the experts.

In much the same way, generalists are quick learners, and your expertise is in knowing how to quickly learn anything so you could find the answers. You are quite literally the expert in becoming the expert.

You might start at 0% knowledge, but you can also get to 80% relatively quickly, at which point you too can function on a near-expert level, at least for a while in a narrow enough scope.

Understanding that, if true, will help you find the jobs that need this ability, even if they don't know it yet.

ps. Let us know how it goes. Would love to learn what you learn ;)
