Nevertheless, as far as the Western world is concerned (and the US in particular,) Christianity has been the primary influence on the nature and culture of sexual morality. Almost all of our gender views and stereotypes can be traced back to the Bible in some form or another, among them the prejudice that female sexuality exists to serve men, and that the female body is inherently more vulgar than the male.
Yes! That’s the part that I was having trouble getting my head around. Looks like 96 bits would have been fine and 128 more than adequate. A small bit of vindication :)
duplication 3 times with small differences between is a good case to keep separate imo.

abstraction is one of the main sources of code complexity.

you start with one function used in 3 places, then add boolean args to it to get slightly different functionality at each place, eventually it becomes a mess of complexity
most of my best ideas for the side projects and perfect tech stack combos come late at night, when i am procrastinating to even sleep.

in chinese it's called 報復性熬夜, which translates to something like "retaliatory staying up late", it's a phenomena happening more in china where people just get stuck scrolling on social media because of the feeling that they want to use or own all of the free time they have left, and then it gets squandered and you hate yourself in the morning.

bill gates used to say that he valued engineers who turn procrastination into an art.
I realise this is subjective but I haven't yet seen an image of a person who is _very_ (conventionally) attractive.

These all seem to range between not attractive and average for me.

I was reading about an implementation of Barrett reduction recently:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrett_reduction

Specifically one that uses 80-bit long double for calculating `(__int128_t)a * b % M` from this github:

https://github.com/kth-competitive-programming/kactl/blob/ma...

But how do you test the correctness of such code? You can't just stress test all possible product of 64 bit numbers!

In the end you still gotta go back to good old fashion proofs:

> Nuclear energy should be part of a "Green New Deal"

If Biden’s energy plan is the green new deal, then it already is...

As a political football of a marketing term, people are never going to agree on what composes it.

But it seems that nuclear has become practically mainstream as part of green energy plans. Not that there isn’t plenty of residual resistance from “green” groups with historical objections to nuclear.

Hopefully every group that actually cares about climate change will take a fresh, objective look, to see if they can’t get aboard after all.
I was thinking fast reactors with fuel elements that could rearrange in a serious accident. That would be harder in a MSR, but concentration by precipitation or volatilization and condensation would have to be ruled out.
Is this available to consumers? or event as an experimental thing we can get our hands on? I cannot find much more than what is in that paper (which I only read the abstract, I admit).

Ultimately I am replaceable. My work is worth more than my cost, but it’s not me making making shareholders and management rich, it’s the customers. When I hire a doctor or a tax accountant, they absolutely don’t get a veto over my politics or how I use my money, and for the same reason I would never expect to boss the CEO around.

I’d have to work at a tiny PAC to avoid everyone who disagrees with me, or go full Tarn & Zach Adams.
What PCR cycle threshold is being used for UK tests and what is the expected false-positive rate at that threshold? Any CT value above 30 is questionable, https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/29/health/coronavirus-testin...

If contact tracing is relying on flawed input data (PCR "positive" for people without symptoms), how can we avoid societal DoS of medical resources, income, and school from unnecessary contact tracing?

Are there any theories on the root cause of specific people being "super spreaders"? Were those people symptomatic at the time of transmission? If not, how long was the asymptomatic transmission window when they were super-spreading, based on their traced contacts?

Historically, we quarantine the sick. Covid responses have quarantined the healthy, based on claims of pre-symptomatic transmission. If we can quantify an observed transmission window (2h? 1d?) in pre-symptomatic super spreaders, before viral load reaches a threshold that causes symptoms, then we can better estimate transmission risk.

Or you duplicate code in 3 places, and apply the same fixes or updates in 3 places for all of eternity. There are pros and cons to both methods and each have their places, no need to start this constant debate here.
I'm sure multiple reasons.

One is the problem of distribution of the data -- until recently when bandwidth has become inexpensive enough it was prohibitive to send all the tracks. 30+ tracks is not uncommon (though not all tracks are active for the entire song). 74 minutes of music fit on a standard CD. If they shipped on CD a 20 track song you'd get under 10 minutes of music.

Second, most songs have a great deal of post production -- effects are applied to dry tracks; often groups of tracks are mixed down to a "bus" track, which is then mixed into the next level of the mixing tree. Eg, there might be six mics on a drum kit, and the engineer will work hard to shape the sound mic by mic, changing EQ, reverb, panning, etc, to get the desired effect. Then that final drum bus is mixed into the next level. Often these mixing and effects parameters is dynamic, changing throughout the song.

There is no standard for these effects, nor for the mixing parameters, so to achieve the final result would require, essentially, shipping the workflow for a specific DAW application.

This is where reputation becomes important. Attach your name to a public message and hash and it’s easy to verify that you didn’t predict both outcomes. Continuing to use the same channel over time provides further weight.

The flip side of this is so many people make so many predictions that getting any one the correct is effectively meaningless most of the time. Essentially, you need a long string of public predictions on a single channel for it to be meaningful anyway.

My whole point is that there needs to be more efforts to hack and modify these things, and that this would be "more desireable".

And that orgs should be using their power to cause this to happen more. For example, if open source orgs can weaponize licensing agreements against nvidia, in order to force them to do this, then they should and this would be desireable.
Ah! Now that you mention it, I have done that. It didn’t make a difference and I think that is roughly when I started seriously considering this was all in my head.
Out of curiosity - what hardware are you using ? I kept hearing this but recently started playing with it and haven't found it limiting probably because I haven't used it enough yet. Still I'm curious if this is a problem top of the line HW setup can alleviate.
By talking with many other entrepreneurs, freelancers, and digital-makers I was usually getting much more actionable advice. I found other platforms such as Clarity that encourage a mentee/mentor relation, but I believe that the entrepreneur community should be able to share know-how in a much more interactive way. Both in requesting for help or in offering it.

I have therefore created PeerPull, a platform where entrepreneurs can collaborate and interact with each other in a place that encourages so with an included video-call and custom search solution.
Nothing wrong with that. The problem is that Spotify is doing its best to break the creator-consumer relationship in order to rent seek in the middle.

And you literally cannot do what you described with Spotify if you are a podcaster. Spotify can decide to do it, but you can’t.

+1 I wish this were further up. Reliable power is always better than unreliable power. "Base load" is a misleading concept because people conflate supply-side and demand-side fluctuations, which are generally unrelated except in "niche use cases" like you mention. You always need some sort of storage or on-demand generation to deal with demand fluctuations. With wind/solar, you need extra storage to smooth out supply fluctuations.
Build your dreams in a country whose government won't give a damn about enforcing it then. I can think of several where you can safely do so, and the government will just laugh it off as a waste of time if someone tried to file a suit about something like this.

Not really sure why you were downvoted before since it's a valid question.

We're talking cost since that's what the gp was talking about, I also believe that risk and cost is the right framework to think about these issues. Pollution is basically a cost, it's just that right now someone else besides the polluter will end up paying that cost sometime in the future. I think it would be a good thing if we could convert pollution to a cost that we get taxed on now, which is what a global carbon tax wants to achieve. That way you have to pay for what you pollute. It would definitely be a step in the right direction and perhaps the cost of nuclear would not be so great if all these externalities are taken into account. To be clear though. Just as I would like to see a carbon tax, I would also like to see nuclear paying actual risk premiums so that we can have a level playing field when choosing an energy source based on its LCOE or any similar criteria.

Would you say the degree to which a coworker's personal relationship with their spouse is 'your business' is proportional to their salary? Or how exactly do you figure this works?

His relationship with his spouse is his business, not yours. It's really that simple.
Sure, but it has nothing to do with Capitalism (other than Capitalism giving us two days off a week rather than 0). I'm sure the good people of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union didn't enjoy going to work again after a few days off.
That's because Nobel Prizes were handed out to people that hadn't earned them.

One example is Obama, who got a peace prize simply for being elected, probably on the basis of his campaign rally speeches. Later on, he was the one who committed hundreds of war crimes with drones. Not the sort of thing for a deserving Peace Prize recipient to do.

People aren't stupid. They see what's deserved and what's undeserved. Once that trust and prestige is lost, it's almost impossible to get it back.
Even if Google used a separate highly optimised webserver for google.com/static/jquery.js, users who are logged in would be sending their auth cookies when requesting the library.

Given that generally people have slower upload than download, shaving off a few bytes from requests is worth it.

That 240hz panel will have terrible colour reproduction compared to the CRT. Only TN panels are clocked that fast, and TN are ugly.

If you want nicer colours you go for IPS, which has a very slow response time (especially when compared to a CRT).

The only modern display technology that comes close to CRT in terms of colour, contrast and responsiveness, you need to go OLED. And that's great (Oled with scanline emulation and black-frame insertion is incredible!) but OLED has the issues everyone knows about regarding degradation of the organic compounds (burn in).

I want my cake and to eat it, I want great colours and contrast and a stupid fast response time, with a panel that won't burn-in my desktop.
One of my friends had an interesting observation about novels. Themes aren't created so much as discovered. If you start from a theme a priori, you're at risk of being preachy. However, the amount of effort involved in constructing a long story, drafting it over and over, and then editing it to sufficient quality, is so substantial that no writer can keep it up for the amount of time a serious work takes unless he has a strong philosophical reason.
Finding time to Do something creative on a regular basis is a serious power up move.

You can't naively do it with the bits of a float, but for most purposes N-wise testing will get you a lot of coverage relative to random or manual cases for little expense. I've had success with it using a library to generate cases testing math kernels with many parameters.

You can invert this and say that solar/wind would be utterly terrible at "filling in the last part" of a nuclear-dominated grid.

The inability to generate constant, reliable power is a weakness, not a strength.
the userspace fixes required to make those intel implementation secure did a bit more than question those "improvements".
You could just as easily blame the author of the driver that only works on a prerelease kernel.
