I think, ironically, you and the people who recommend "being yourself" are trying to say almost the same thing you are, and for the same reasons.

Because we are so much at the whim of our environment, it can work against you to follow someone else's advice, because the advice is based on seemingly similar but different experiences, and the best thing you can do is to act mindfully in every moment, which is what "being yourself" is about, in my opinion.

Acknowledging that you are in big part of your environment, and that you are the product of the combined imprint of life's experiences, you try to act in the best possible way you know how, given the combination of all of your experiences up to that moment, rather than some kind of answer you tried to prepare ahead of time, because that time was in the past, and your combined experiences now exceed those you had when making that plan in the past.

What Is Relativity, Anyway?
"In Operating Systems 101 we learn that operating systems are “lazy” when they allocate memory to processes. When you mmap() an anonymous page, the kernel slyly returns a pointer immediately. It then waits until you trigger a page fault by “touching” that memory before doing the real memory allocation work”.

Some operating systems do that, some don't. IBM's AIX variant of UNIX allocated space when you asked for it, not when an instruction touched the page. The advantage is that you find out if you don't have enough memory when you make the system call to request it, not by having the program killed.

(It may be time for paging out to disk to go away. It's a huge performance hit. Mobile doesn't do it. And RAM is so cheap.)

Certainly some of that is down to regulation, but simple physics bears a lot of the responsibility. The competitive field will tend to converge on the most aerodynamic shape given the constraints of the day.
Yes, that's Video Overlay: when the video is not rendered to the framebuffer but actually to the output signal directly. It was replaced by VMR (Video Mixing Renderer) which allows video to be rendered to each parent windows' offscreen DWM buffer.

The funny thing is that overlays are coming back (soon, I hope!) - not for performance reasons, but because using a compositing window manager like the DWM introduces an additional frame of latency, but if a foreground window is being displayed 1:1 on the desktop then the GPU can simply overlay it directly to the output signal and thus eliminate that frame of latency. Some Linux WMs support it already, and Microsoft said they're working on it.
+1 to waiting a bit, incurring the inconvenience, and seeing whether you come across alternate solutions. Often the first thing I think of (customize, or install a new package; both of which incur maintenance costs) is just masking not understanding another aspect of Emacs.

Every few months, if I'm not 100% on the utility of a customization/package, I'll remove it and see if I survive without it.

This beats having to declare config bankruptcy.

You list some good use-cases for C++, but the other side of the coin is that there are languages out there nowadays that are better than C++ for a large majority of the use-cases where it fits best (Rust being the obvious example).

Yes, there are surely still a few cases where C++ beats Rust on raw merit. And of course C++ still has the advantage in the number of developers who can competently contribute to your project in short order. But both of these advantages are diminishing rapidly, and—to me at least—the writing is on the wall for C++. Its days are numbered.
> What I am pondering is: would this ruin the Internet? If I couldn't host a public forum if it got beyond my limited means to moderate?

Do you actually have the means to moderate your forum and fund the legal trouble you might face should you get it wrong? Are you ready for the bad actors who abuse this bottleneck to take down content they don't like? I don't think many people are positioned to handle these burdens, and I think the internet will be ruined as a result.
There was a Canadian psychologist who tried to “cure” criminal psychopaths by administering LSD to them in the 70s. The result was they became better at manipulation and deception and experienced higher rates of recidivism. Jon Ronson covers this episode in his book The Psychopath Test.

Why is the word 'quixotic' pronounced as it is?
The California state income tax rate is basically the same as for capital gains. But there is a difference federally. So in some states you would indeed pay a lower capital gains rate, and because the federal rates are lower on capital gains, Californians do pay lower overall taxes on capital gains than regular income (there are technical words differentiating capital gains from other income, don't remember it right now).

I think a rough rule of thumb is that very high earners will pay slightly more than 50% of income of wages on taxes (state and federal) in CA and about 24% of capital gains income on taxes, before various deductions.

But, the big difference in California is that if you inherited property or bought it a long time ago you pay much less property taxes than people who bought homes recently, due to Proposition 13. This means property taxes are not as strong a source of revenue in California compared to other states; making up that difference is partially why other taxes and fees are so much higher in California.
Yeap - there’s a short period before that turns ugly. Auto-remediation is good, along with fast alerting if you can’t do it automatically.
Compared to the experience of anybody that has been their codependent, this article makes sociopaths appear as downright whimsical. If she really is a sociopath, it’s a carefully-crafted tip of the iceberg sort of cathartic lie. And if she’s not, well, it’s still a lie, but the self-deprecating kind that endears us to her; which is exactly what a sociopath would want us to believe, just for fun, no other reason. You can’t figure it out. You can’t win. It will destroy you and everything you know about yourself. Move on.
Sounds true to me. I prefer basically any choice I’ve made before to other choices that I’ve never made. I know what I’m in for.

Right, the change is fundamentally retiring the lower-priced single-node offering for small orgs. Likely their market understanding shows that organizations with sufficient motivation to stay away from the cloud are also mostly willing to use the higher-level Data Center offering. It's not only the same bits though, it add some extra enterprise-flavored features also.

From my experience of dealing with people that I have thought to be sociopaths when they describe their experiences on MDMA they usually describe them as feeling really good and feeling really good about themselves but without developing or expanding their empathetic connection to others.
I don't have anything against your reaction. I don't read the Atlantic; I saw this particular article, read it, lined up the facts with other things I'd read, and felt this piece reflected a more balanced take than mine. Not necessarily in absolute terms. That is what I meant by my note about balance.

I suppose next time I reply to a contentious topic I could find a more seemingly dispassionate source but these days most folks are too polarized to read any news source that doesn't align with their preconceived notions.
A well designed high complexity spreadsheets are pretty easy to tell what's going on. The problem is most people don't put thought into how they design their spreadsheets. That's not their fault because there are very few resources that teach people how to design a complex spreadsheet well.

If you have not seen a spreadsheet with say dedicated data input tabs, calculation tabs where you can see and audit the work being done, output tabs, revision notes, summary sheet you haven't seen a good spreadsheet.
This is tangential, but it's striking to me that in today's egalitarian culture sociopaths are so obviously outside the umbrella of protection from generalization.

With most groups, especially disadvantaged groups, we hesitate to make any negative generalization. For example, I would never say, "blind people excel at subtle manipulation; they learn this skill in order to work around their inherent social deficiencies." In fact, I wouldn't even make any negative generalizations even when I have reason to believe they are probably true, like "blind people tend to be less productive programmers."

I just think it's fascinating how sociopaths are totally barred from this protection. We really do fear them, and that fear puts them out in the cold, outside the usual embrace of diversity. I wonder if you could make the statements you've just made about any other group of people with a genetic condition without incurring the wrath of the community or even the moderators.

I'm really not moral grandstanding here. I'm not sure you're correct about typical sociopath behavior, but if you are then I have no issue with you saying it. I'm only pointing it out because I'm genuinely fascinated by this exception to a very strong cultural norm.
> a hallmark of a sociopath is a lack of any genuine awareness that they are a sociopath

I just don't really believe this is always true. What do you call the people consciously doing sociopathic things?

This is a ridiculous paradox.
Azure devops was the first to offer Windows based self-hosted runners - if you’re stuck in the drudgery of building Windows software, because your customers only run Windows servers, it was pretty much the only modern devops option for a while.

I've actually built a second iteration that uses a Raspberry Pi 4 that has 2 HDMI ports, and uses 2 2-way splitters. The hardware was much cheaper and this version can support complementary pairs of images or bookending of the same pattern. It's still not a cheap project, but more approachable. Also, thank you!

There are two issues here.

First of all, not all value systems are rational and optimizable. The most relevant ones to humans simply aren't. Building a rational system to maximize these value systems is an impossible task, it's a category error. Like trying to run regression with a non-differentiable cost function.

Value systems are an "ought". No rational, logical system can ever change them. Resolving contradictions in your values is a categorical error, because there is no such thing as having more than one value means inherent contradiction.

As a result, a purely rationalist perspective is ineffective. You can only achieve a certain level of rationality.

Which is already exactly what people have been doing for millenia, trying to find the most logical way to follow their values, and trying to phrase their inherent, base values into a set of explicit values that represent them as well as possible. It's not anything different from what secular philosophy has done for over 4000 years now if you construe it that way.

Finally, it's never possible to know that your system is without any contradiction, because that would be equivalent to solving the halting problem. So, do you have a notion that contradiction can be estimated? Measured? How do you come to the conclusion that your belief system, with that contradiction removed, is any less contradictory than before, knowing full well that you might have introduced a more complex, as of yet unknown contradiction, or ten thousand of them?

And so it seems that having soft contradictions is not actually necessarily a bad thing, and that jumping to resolve them should only be done if they actually are terminal, because balancing contradictions in your cognitive process is actually very doable and a good tool. It's not just about information either, even with perfect knowledge it's impossible to be sure of the absence of contradiction.

In other words, it's never possible to prove a the consistency of a model in that model itself. You can try to prove it using the framework of another model, but how do you know that that model is consistent? You can't.

This is why I personally try to ground the internal consistency of my though process in the material world - a contradiction is only problematic if resolving it can materially improve the situation or understanding I derive from it.

But then again, Philosophical materialism vs idealism is a whole other can of worms, so il leave it to that very small facet of it.
very thoughtful, god bless you

They raise that possibility when discussing Experiment 3:

> Recall that in the induction trial, approximately equal numbers of infants chose each block—there was no systematic preference for any particular block. But what if all infants had their own idiosyncratic but consistent object preferences? ...

Then they sort of test that hypothesis in Experiment 4, by making the infants choose a block in the induction trial but then giving them the block they had not chosen – and even in this case the infants, in the next step of the trial, tend to reject the block they didn't get in the induction trial, which in this case was the block they had initially chosen. This needs to be combined with the previous findings, such as those from Experiment 2, in which the experimenters gave the infants a block, and Experiment 3, in which the infants' choice is blind (they din't know what was inside each box) — in these cases, the infants didn't show the same rejection tendency for the block they didn't get as in Experiments 1 and 4.

Thanks for your explanation. This makes a lot of sense.

A carrier signal is generated (as high as 10^27) [1] - modulated by some observable - and then recorded and analyzed. The highest resolution event that will be visible in the waveform will be 1/(2f) where f is the frequency of the carrier signal. The 1/2 factor is due to the sampling theorem [2].

There are three things in the way of getting the keys, and they all seem honest to me.

1. You need admin access to reach the data.

2. The user has to have entered their password to allow DPAPI to unencrypt the data.

3. The data is stored in a binary form because that was the most convenient.

The DPAPI stuff wasn't just obfuscation, if that's what you're thinking. The steps you need are going to look roughly the same if you want to access someone's encrypted files on linux. It doesn't transparently decrypt the data, but that's because the encryption isn't built into the registry, not because it's trying to keep it away from you.
Or maybe we could just come up with a way to test and catalog web pages that are actually fast and not bloated. Like a browser extension with a test suite and database or something.
That gets into politics, history, sociology, how the subject of economics itself interacts with politics and affects history. Best to move on quickly and discourage the students from thinking about it.

Not sure why this is being downvoted, I had the same question. I would say I do things that others might describe as sociopathic, but I would not generally describe myself as a sociopathic.
Combined with being unusual and not wired as everyone else, I take a different tact by accepting human nature and opening up the possibilities. From a young age, it became apparent that I did't experience jealousy in relation to a deep interest having close friends including ex's or infatuation clicks with other people. Not some sort of low self-worth thing, but the opposite. Therefore, mutually open relationships work better for me to dispense with dishonesty and limitations based on insecurities. Not in my face if it's with a dude, don't get pregnant, or diseases, and I don't care. Heck, I think it's extremely cute when a bi/pan woman I'm seeing hits on another woman, even right in front of me. Also, it's exhilarating when she feeds me her cool friends like proverbial bow-wrapped gifts, such as a row of lined-up puppy-dog eyes looking up as who will be chosen next. This makes her a potential keeper#.

Partner guarding seems like a lot of pointless energy expended based on insecurity; one of my aims in relationship(s) is to constantly improve to remain the highest-value around without resorting to possessive capture. Plus, it's better to let people move freely and self-select voluntarily, rather than give them ultimatums or threatening "if you ever" speeches.

I look at importance of relationships (love/friendship) based on the amount and sustainment of attention, mutual care, support, and trust. Sex is just sex to me without deeper affinity and common interests; a shared, social activity that is delightful without being black-and-white all-meaningful. It's also important to be sure other participants are truly on this same wavelength so that they don't end-up regretful or are otherwise left worse than before.

In conclusion: open works best for me, with a consideration for Mff or Mfff poly where f are pan/bi. I think Mfff tetrad of ever-reconfiguring pairs is more stable because there's no third-wheel issue. And all disagreements must be followed by bedroom activities, and stalemate disputes are resolved by last one who gets there wins.
