A bunch of the comments in that Twitter thread are from Swedish people pointing out that colleges did close, about 50% of the population chose to social isolate or home-school kids, etc. That it wasn't like no one did nothing.

And of course, there's the NY Times or various other folks questioning if Sweden really did all that well.

Seems like this issue is why folks choose to spend their time the way they do. It's understandable. But, there's no point in being like "XYZ is the way to go", unless we're talking about someone who is already motivated and already making an effort, but hasn't been able to find something that's right for them.

And I'd bet that's a minority.

Plus of course the answer would depend on individual circumstances.
It takes all kinds. If you’re running your tube amp below breakup, you might as well just use a solid state amp. It’s only under overdrive conditions that you get compression. Outside overdrive conditions, there is not really any clue that you are using a tube amp. Mostly linear is mostly linear.

He is proposing to use the integrity hash for caching purposes, not for security purposes.

This has been discussed before and it is unlikely it will be implemented as it is almost impossible to eliminate finger-printing and privacy issues if this cache is implemented plus it might lead to security problems:

In 2008 or so, I ended up going to a neurologist because I was getting these brutal headaches that couldn’t be resolved by my GP. They couldn’t find anything either. And then I quit my job and no longer spent my days starting at a CRT under shitty fluorescent lights, and all the problems went away. Magic!

Seattle also banned chemical weapons, but unfortunately the mayor sued to allow their use. Because Seattle's police dept was under a consent decree, any changes to tactics and weapons needed to be approved by the judge who is monitoring the dept. The judge felt the Seattle police might actually get significantly more violent if they couldn't use chemical weapons and indiscriminate projectiles on non violent protestors.
Totally doable. That's just a few hours using 100k cores.
Did you truncate the hash for dataset size considerations? If you associate data with the hash, I would guess the test data would dwarf the hash size, so why not do 128 or 256 hashes?

> The conclusion of the paper is just bad science, not an example of human microevolution.

"Bad science" might be a bit harsh. I read the paper as a call to arms (no pun intended). The data presented in Table 1 is good science but the sample is far too limited to support the paper's subtitle "A microevolutionary change".

It is plausible that a microevolutionary change has occurred (ditto environmental change or no change). We need much larger surveys that span populations and geographies to first establish that a change has occurred and then quantify the causal factors.

Perhaps the fault lies in the culture surrounding the publishing of scientific papers with an emphasis on strong conclusions rather than unresolved questions. Maybe I'm being too forgiving because I was previously unaware of the adult median artery phenotype. Regardless, your criticism is important and appreciated as is tgbug's point that we are lacking data on population wide anatomical variation.
K&R, The C Programming Language, does this. There may be others but this is where I first saw it and a quick google search confirmed it.

This is something the right has been complaining about for a long time, the shift of this moral authority from its traditional stewards (usually the churches) to the television writer.

It’s unclear to me how much of the complaint has to do with disliking the results, especially around the acceptance of homosexuality, and how much of it is a complaint about the shift in power itself. As you said, a lot of the moral lessons in sitcoms are fairly benign, as they usually center around the idea that bad actions have consequences but forgiveness and salvation is available if you ask for it. THe core message isn’t that different than what you’d see in some sermons, only the jokes are new.
I wonder if an nginx plugin could be made to auto-cache CDN javascript/css files and edit the HTML on the fly to serve them from locally.
That's the next step, just have some other projects to get out of the way first. There's a fairly low cost infrasound recording option using loudspeakers[1] that I think is worth a try. I'm also interested in building a seismograph, which might be able to pick it up on the high end of its range. If the sound is anywhere as loud as I hear it, there isn't much need for anything ultra-sensitive.

I actually plan on recording sounds from my head, too. Could be weird spasms or something causing it, the lack of any variation in the two pitches makes that seem unlikely but possible.

What seems to be happening is more inflows into index funds as time goes on from the articles I've seen. Most people, so far, seem to be keeping their heads and even loading up during downturns (buying low).

The other thing with index funds is that they're often automated (e.g., monthly saving for retirement), so a lot of folks aren't actually looking at their portfolios (generally a good thing), and so are going on with their daily lives regardless of financial headlines.

You know, it bothers me so much when this shows up as a criticism. You didn’t say it as one, but when I released the Q platform, for social networking apps, which we worked for years on since 2010 and earlier, people told us “rename your library, there is already a famous library Q for promises”.

Well, now promises are native and that Q library isn’t a big deal.

But meanwhile I had to constantly defend with logical arguments, until I gave up and had our team overhaul the entire codebase and marketing JUST so the very vocal squeaky wheel developers could get past the naming issue and focus on what the actual benefits of the platform are.

For a long time the big advantage of LCD was just size and energy use. You lost a lot of the clarity with the conversion from analog VGA or SVGA signal in devices that predated DVI and HDMI connectors. It would be really hard to trade in my 28" 4k display for any CRT I've ever had.

A privacy issue example if a shared cache is implemented: jQuery v2 is installed and shared between sites A,B,C. If user goes to site B for the first time and the file is in cache (never requested from it), then it means the user has also visited A or C. If more files like this are shared, then, based on the requested files you can somewhat estimate which websites a user visited before.

Perhaps you've already considered this, but could it be caused by a fan or some other source of mechanical vibration in your house? Acoustic propagation within a house can be surprisingly complicated.

Some years ago I noticed a very strange hum in one corner of my basement. Thanks to funky acoustics, I couldn't identify the source for a while, but IIRC it ended up being a fan in another part of the house. I suspect most of the energy traveled through the house framing, and ended up resonating in the room I was in at the time.

It's not about how fast it loads, it about whether it actually requests the file from the server or not.

This is only an argument about “protest tactics” if you make it. I’m interested less in “teargas, good or bad” and more interested in “can the political apparatus of Portland actually change the behavior of the Portland police?”. In the context of Portland banning the police from using specific technologies, this question is absolutely relevant.
This is great! It would be nice to be able to filter by license type. By my understanding, there are many projects where music licensed under CC BY-SA would not be usable.
Following the advice to look for "fakeness" markers I would mention a few recurring ones:
1) unreal background (like monsters or distorted images)
2) strange-looking moles or birthmarks (white, very round or else)
3) distorted texts and logos on clothing
4) fabrics of the garments don't look real too
5) jewelry gets distorted or multiplied
6) glasses often look fake on the edges

Nevertheless this looks impressive.

Do you mean messages like “sent from my iPhone?”
True. It wasn’t usually user-facing, though.

Frankly, I don’t like it. In publishing at least it was fairly common to have lines about certain levels of cooperation and contribution but those were largely relegated to the Masthead rather than plastered throughout a given article. Industry people could find the info, but readers didn’t have to have their view cluttered.

Now with paying journalists to do their jobs being a matter of contention even more of the articles can be cluttered with ads and it’s being shared about as a net positive.

Fishermen and scuba divers are, in practice, generally not going to be busted by police for having a normal-size knife in Japan. Of course, this is the problem with the legal strategy of “make it illegal but give enforcement discretion to the police” - it adds a lot of uncertainty to what you are actually allowed to do, it allows the government to convict many normal people of a crime if they want to, and it gives the police discretion to get people in trouble for arbitrary reasons.

What do people mean when they say "index funds"? There are so many... which ones are you taking into account?

We actually use two $$ to start and end.

Ex:
$$ c = \pm\sqrt{a^2 + b^2} $$

Or, multiline
$$
\frac{1}{\Bigl(\sqrt{\phi \sqrt{5}}-\phi\Bigr) e^{\frac25 \pi}} = 1+\frac{e^{-2\pi}} {1+\frac{e^{-4\pi}} {1+\frac{e^{-6\pi}} {1+\frac{e^{-8\pi}} {1+\cdots} } } }
$$

Some details are available [in this post](https://talk.hyvor.com/blog/introducing-katex-embed/) on how it works.

And, katex.renderToString has an option to set throwOnError: false.. So, whenever if the TeX code inside $$ is not valid, it just returns the text.

If you read the article, the "credible media outlet" would be adjudicating. If it is defamatory, they can take it up with the outlet.
Setting aside the actual subject at hand, I actually think this is a much better process. Like or dislike the result, it actually flowed through the proper political and judicial channels in order to achieve a result. This seems much safer than (what seems to me) a total disconnect between the political and police apparatus in some cities, where the cops just ignore what they’re told to do.

Tend in what way? I can think of perhaps rebalancing so if you're doing a multi-fund setup with particularly desired asset allocation (bonds, equities: US, world, EM). But if you're using (say) a target date fund, what's there to do?

In Canada we have "all-in-one" ETFs that have particular asset allocations which do rebalancing internally:

* https://milliondollarjourney.com/all-in-one-etfs-battle-vang...

* https://www.savvynewcanadians.com/all-in-one-etf-portfolios-...

Perhaps as one moves closer to retirement then change the bond component, but what is there to otherwise tend?
