1.) That does not prove what you claim at all.

2.) Also notably, neither study nor wiki claim that both brothers had equal resistance to cold.

3.) Lastly, Wim Hof claim is not so much that "gradually increasing exposure" makes him better at cold, his claim is that he found breathing techniques and has batter control over body functions. That may or may not be bullshit, but again, study is not disproving that.

Here I am going to quote exact same study:

> Core temperature decreased in both subjects with a smaller decrease (−0.18°C) in subject A compared to subject B (−0.40°C). As the accuracy of the measurement is ±0.1°C and due to the small range within core temperature is held, we interpreted the difference of −0.22°C as physiologically different. There was a clear difference in cold sensation and comfort between both subjects. [...] Furthermore, subject A reported that he was comfortable with these temperatures during the entire experiment, whereas subject B felt between uncomfortable and very uncomfortable. Cold exposure slightly increased heart rate in subject A (baseline: 46 beats/min versus cold: 52 beats/min), whereas it slightly decreased in subject B (baseline: 51 beats/min versus cold: 47 beats/min).

tldr; some physiological responses were different and one brother felt uncomfortable while the other felt ok.

Edit: here is direct link to study quoted on wikipedia: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4094425/
Hurts my eyes just a liiitle bit. Methinks The MUSIMP/MULISP-approach would be less painful. Firstly you find a way to transform the language in S-expressions and then you just write regular lisp-macros. This would be hidden from regular Python-user, of course. As I recall the macrodefinitions were already totally unreadable if transformed into Algol/Python, so no worry about syntax.
Aside from probably being plain wrong, this sort of thinking is also a germ for boundless evil; from saying "we can lose 80% of the population..." to saying "we should lose 80% of the population so things will be better for the other 20%" and then "let's do something to lose that useless 80% so that ours will be the 20%" is all too small a step.
Yes, basically as you guessed. Applications receive input, manage local resources, and produce output. The sidecar proxy is their interface with the world. The proxy handles cross-cutting infrastructure concerns: service discovery, federation, distributed tracing, and so on.

Blog posts about Envoy proxy as a sidecar in a service mesh context should offer plenty of examples.

I used to write articles like this. And I used to relish in the details of building distributed systems. No more. The reality is that monolith everyone loves to rage on about as the grand opposition to microservices is actually built on an operating system that abstracts away the details programmers before us had to deal with. And I imagine they too talked of the tradeoffs in design between design patterns. If an architecture and operating environment promotes distributed systems development then these problems go away and actually you find it's a fundamentally better experience. Unix pipes were written in a single day and they became the thing that redefined how programs were written. Imagine all your favourite tools like ls, grep, ps we're just one monolith. Holy heck no.

I think microservices are waiting for the distributed operating system and development environment that makes life as easy as Unix did with C programming and bash.

All these things in the article. You shouldn't have to care about.
The fuel cost to shuttle the materials back would be fairly negligible. The main cost to getting anything into space at the moment is the initial launch to LEO. (This equation changes if you're not actually launching your mining vessel from the earth's surface)
This is a super high quality post - thank you!

I think you've also answered my questions in this space before, what kind of work do you do? You seem very familiar with asian languages deeper than just a native speaker/hobbyist might be.

I thought recording 6 was vaguely mandarin sounding, if you squinted you could more or less guess what was being said. Agreed that the rest are hard to understand but I don't think it takes native mandarin speakers much effort to get to a point where they can get proficient in another dialect. IMO learning Shanghainese from Mandarin will be easier than learning Portuguese if you speak Spanish

The thing is, the hardware is technically sufficient for full self driving, at least for some definition of "full self driving".

Even in the late 90s, there was experimentation with self driving cars that were running a single Pentium with a handful of megabytes of RAM and inexpensive black and white cameras [0].

Now whether the software for that hardware is ready (or will be any time soon) is a different question.

> If you don't get it after 9 months you simply weren't serious in learning it.

That seems a bit harsh. I can believe that everyone should be able to learn Haskell sufficiently well after a couple of months if they stumble across the correct learning material and have sufficient support. I can also see that someone from outside the community might make a solid effort for nine months and not make much progress, simply because the correct learning material wasn't easily discoverable.
To support our customers we usually have VPN access to the servers where our software runs. So invariably our support team needs a ton of different VPN solutions.

Like you say some just refuse to co-exist (even between vendors), require 32bit Windows (still!) or other silly things. So support folks have like 5-6 different VMs, each with several different VPN clients in them.
I'm using Umami, an awesome self hosted privacy focused analytics and I love it. Replicates the features in paid products and it's totally free.
so, what I have in mind is this. Let's assume in both cases the allocator is static. In the list case you have:

struct node { node* next; };
static node * root;

void * alloc() {
node * result = root; // 1 load
if (result) { // fast path
root = result->next; // 1 load + 1 store
return result;
} else {
//slow path
}
}

There is a single load in the critical path (loading the content of result); the additional load of result next and the store are not in the critical path as the result does not depend on them. Also loading the content of result->next will touch a cacheline that will be accessed very soon by the caller of alloc anyway.

In the queue case you have:

struct queue { void ** data; int size; }
static queue q;
void * alloc() {
int sz = q.size -1; // 1 ld [a] + 1 sub
if (sz >= 0) { // fast path
size = sz; // 1 store
void ** data = q.data; // 1 ld [b]
return data[sz]; // 1 ld [c]
} else { /* slow path */ }
}

In this case the chain b->c is in the critical path (a can be in parallel with b, and the sub has minimal latency); the store is not in the critical path. So as you can see there is an additional dereference. Also it will touch the additional cacheline pointed by data+sz.

If you are doing many allocations in a very tight loop, then the store in the linked list example suddenly becomes part of the critical path and can become a problem, while the compiler can extract some parallelism from the size computation in the queue example. If that scenario is important for you then the queue can be preferable.
That's kinda interesting that he can do that. With a bit of recent Mandarin schooling I can see the langauges are quite similar, but as a kid whenever we had a Mandarin speaker visiting I was baffled. Same thing happened when I learned German, as soon as I learned the initial things like the pronouns everything clicked.

It's probably the case that all the often used words that you use in everyday life have changed, but once you get over the barrier there's a pretty smooth learning zone.

This claim on Wikipedia is false. The article referred to does
not claim that `petitio principii' or `begging the question' is
a ``mistranslation''. Nor are they. They are both perfectly
correct and reasonable translations of `τὸ ἐν ἀρχῇ αἰτιεῖσθαι'
(from Aristotle), which means to beg (ask, αἰτιεῖσθαι) one's
interlocutor to grant one the very point in question (the
``question''), which one set out (in the beginning, ἐν ἀρχῇ) to
demonstrate. (Literally, it means: ``the (thing) in (the)
beginning (to) beg''.)

Guaranteed bandwidth to internet is nonsensical concept because there is no single internet to have the bandwidth to.

Guaranteed bandwidth to some specific network or host, that is valid concept, but it is very different thing and usually you can't get such thing to any arbitrary network.
Of course it's relevant. It says a lot about the local government, about their priorities and perhaps about the people who live there that led to it. Their attitudes on this are reflective of their attitudes on other things. The exodus is being driven at a surface level by the lockdowns, but by now the lockdowns are well past the point of being driven by leftist ideology. See:

https://www.city-journal.org/california-race-coding-criteria...

End of lockdowns in CA are being tied to vague "racial justice" goals. These things are all connected. Renaming a high school says "we consider this the most important thing we could be working on right now" which is clearly absurd when you consider the real problems CA has.

I don't think so. I know that he was interested in Buddhist stuff (source: some documentary).

But when I talked to him, he told us (part of the Radboud experiment in 2014, I think) that he just jumped into cold water and was forced to learn how to breath in such a way that he wouldn't freak out.

Note/edit: As you can see from my writing my memory isn't pinpoint accurate. Given that the article was published in 2014 [1], I'm sure I'm probably wrong in the year when I talked to him as it then most likely would've been April 2013 since I had to keep the results of the study a secret for at least a year.

I think that most kids already know what a satellite looks like. Those trash cans that often have solar cell wings and some satellite dishes. They fly way up in the sky.

Gravity pulls you down to earth. It gives you weight. Without gravity everything on earth would start hovering and flying around like on the space station. Things in space near earth also get pulled towards earth.

Orbit is if you throw something so very fast that it doesn't fall back to earth but instead moves on a circle around earth like if you have a stone on a string and spin it.

On the moon you can throw a stone very far. On the moon there is no atmosphere that slows it down. If you throw the stone harder and harder it will fly very far until it gets dragged down by the moons gravity. Maybe use a cannon to throw it very fast it will fly past the horizon. If you have just the right velocity it will fly all the way around the moon and hit you in the back of your head.

I think this topic is something that can be explained very well to kids. Also many kids are fascinated by rockets and space. The explanations and visualizations may not always be 100% accurate but I think they do the job.
> Build a monolith which does everything. Deploy multiple instances. Route booking requests to a subset of the instances. Route other requests to the other instances.

Don't you now have "microservices" bundled together in a single binary - and deployed together? If each of your component exposes different APIs and each instance only handles certain endpoints, then you kind of have microservices - not literally, but it seems the idea is the same.

Simplicity being a benefit, I don't really see how the dynamic traffic routing is a huge benefit vs microservices - you can dynamically scale up/down microservices too.

I am not saying this is a bad approach, by the way, but just that it isn't much different from microservices.

Even more important, IMO, regardless of whether you're mocking or faking, is to not mock or fake objects that you own. Only mock/fake truly external dependencies. The nice property you get with this is true tests of integration and interoperability between your modules, that are actually calling into each other. Only at the leaf nodes is anything mocked or faked, and that's when it leaves your ownership.

> I have had Astrologers visit my house when Modi was no where around in the national political scene.

But did you treat these astrologers as scientists? The problem is not with astrology existing as it does in some form or the other in every country - the problem is in trying to promote it and give it some legitimacy by declaring it as a science!

That is what the religious fundamentalists in power are doing in India because they associate their form of astrology with their religion. If it is treated as science, would you like space launches or missile tests, for examples, to be decided based on the "auspicious" time figured through the "science" of astrology, even if the atmospheric conditions or not suitable for the launch at this time?

I think there's an implicit assumption here that there will be a definite end date to this. I really hope there is, but there's another possibility that looks more likely as time goes on: lockdown has permanently broken the brains of some types of political leader and they will in fact never fully release the restrictions. Places like SF and NY will have long term restrictions lasting years, justified in the name of public health, the "new normal" and epidemic curves that never flatten (given current testing levels the curve can never drop to zero just due to FPs alone).

Many parts of the US will definitely go back to normal, but maybe not everywhere. It may be a permanent structural change in laws and government approaches.

Tangentially, there's a great bit in Patti Smith's book M Train about joining a society dedicated to Wegener's memory:

> Formed in the early 1980s by a Danish meteorologist, the Continental Drift Club is an obscure society serving as an independent branch of the earth-science community. Twenty-seven members, scattered across the hemispheres, have pledged their dedication to the perpetuation of remembrance, specifically in regard to Alfred Wegener, who pioneered the theory of continental drift. The bylaws require discretion, attendance at the biannual conferences, a certain amount of applicable fieldwork, and a reasonable passion for the club’s reading list. All are expected to keep abreast of the activities of the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research, in the city of Bremerhaven in Lower Saxony.

> I was granted membership of the CDC quite by accident. On the whole, members are primarily mathematicians, geologists, and theologians and are identified not by name but by a given number. I had written several letters to the Alfred Wegener Institute searching for a living heir in hopes of obtaining permission to photograph the great explorer’s boots. One of my letters was forwarded to the secretary of the Continental Drift Club, and after a flurry of correspondence I was invited to attend their 2005 conference in Bremen, which coincided with the 125th anniversary of the great geoscientist’s birth and thus the 75th of his death. I attended their panel discussions, a special screening at City 46 of Research and Adventure on the Ice, a documentary series containing rare footage of Wegener’s 1929 and 1930 expeditions, and joined them for a private tour of the AWI facilities in nearby Bremerhaven. I am certain I didn’t quite meet their criteria, but I suspect that after some deliberation they welcomed me due to my abundance of romantic enthusiasm. I became an official member in 2006, and was given the number 23.
