I understand now. Well, in that case you could try what I do: I run my only instance where I'm the only user; my interactions depends upon only my social graph. This avoids the niche/club/hobby issue. The only challenge that remains is discovery. But I don't discover folks to follow through my instance but through other means.( So not an issue for me.) Though my approach requires committing either time (managing my own infrastructure) or money (having someone else my instance for me) - so perhaps not suitable for everyone. Not so different from having one's own domain for conventional email. Either way, my approach is probably not ideal for folks only trying to get a taste of the fediverse.
I have heard a lot of things on this subject.

“ Now we are told it has all the stability plus super generous pensions and salary that would make the best workers in the private sector jealous.”

Well, considering that most private sector workers don’t have pensions anymore, it probably would make them jealous. In the private sector they’ve all been replaced with 401ks and maybe a feeble matching of a few thousand dollars from your employer.

The way I look at it is, public sector jobs are probably what private sector jobs in America would look like if employee compensation didn’t divorce productivity gains starting in the 1980s. Which is why they look so generous by comparison.

> back-end interoperability needs to be mandatory for Internet of Things stuff

More than that, IoT network communications need to be snoopable by the end user if desired. There's a real threat of devices sending back data you don't want them to and even working together to exfiltrate data from a device that's otherwise blocked from the internet.

(There was a startup in the greater Seattle area working on such exfiltration capabilities at one point, euphemistically referred to as "routing at the edge". Frustratingly I can't seem to track them down right now.)
GMBN has a couple of great videos on buying a mountain bike [0][1], but I can really recommend a direct to consumer brand such as Canyon or YT — especially if you’re not sure whether you’ll commit to the sport. You get a lot more bike for your money compared to the store brands, and you’ll have an easier time getting into the sport the better your first bike is.

The major choice to make, irrespective of brand, is what type of bike — which is dictated by the terrain you have available and would like to ride. There are subcategories, but a useful rough split would be: a cross-country (XC) bike for good pedaling performance both uphill and on the flat, but not so capable going downhill and in the rough stuff; an enduro if you want to ride rougher downhill terrain (roots, rock gardens, etc.), but still have a bike that pedals well enough up technical climbs and fire roads; and a downhill bike if you want to ride the roughest, most technical terrain, with the steepest descents, and you have access to lift-served mountains (not recommended to start with ;).

FWIW, I’ve had a such a great time riding the Canyon Torque this summer. It’s a long-travel enduro, really capable on the descents, and perfectly fine to get back to the top.

As for motivation, I would echo the sibling comment. Time in nature, good exercise, a ton of techniques to learn and master, a really sociable scene, such a rush riding tough and steep stuff. You won’t regret it.

Two additional displays and a three-arms stand, to be able to use three displays with my company issued 13" dell latitude 7390 running GNU/Linux.

They're all 24" @ 1929x1200.

It's magical, I can keep so many things open at the same time with a reasonable window size.

The integrated intel graphics can drive all three of them, but I wasn't able to also drive the laptop display, that would have been perfect.

Note the value in these vaults isn't just the monetary amount, but that its actual physical cash. Even if Garda decided to cover the losses out of their revenues, I'm not sure its that easy to get, say, a million dollars in quarters, even if you have a million dollars in funds. (and certainly it'd be hard to do if your trying to hide the fact that your doing it from the Feds).

Presumably the reason the banks keep these vaults is because they need the actual currency to be available when needed. There are much easier and cheaper ways for them to store money.

Thanks! Shame I never took undergraduate physics but now that you've rung my bell I think we may have discussed this in high school. What an unintuitive result that being even a meter under ground breaks what is, up to that point, a fine model.
My family members have many story about this: The children were relocated to rural areas, bomb shelters were built on the pavements etc.. what seemed surreal to me was my uncle story, just as the B52 was bombing the Yen Phu power plant he was standing on the other side of the lake sipping tea and look at the explosion. That very same uncle survived through the famine which killed up to 2 millions of Vietnamese. So for him, having food to eat even under constant bombing is better already. So I don't think it's due to any kinds of philosophy, it's just that we never know that life could be better than that.

I would assume it should be the other way around because of different risk levels.

Doing old things better is relatively low-risk (because the thing already works) and therefore should be funded by debt, not equity.

Doing brand new things is high-risk (nobody did it before), so equity-based funding (maybe after a period of bootstrapping) for it would be more appropriate to the VC model.
Nice one, cheers.

Remember that any meta-virtualization (aka software-defined anything, but is really figuring how how to use less energy to control hardware with better regularity). Remember all 1-bit ReLU (linear non-linear rectifier) are just are one way to think about the same thing as say a dirac function using the language of mathmatical physics. Better to pretend that something like all ad networks or dynamic pieces of web browsers could be influenced to do stuff using other pieces of hardware influenced software that apparently already coded to do that. Solve the "well known" abc or apple google microsoft (lua) = use the wisdom of the crowds to look at symbolic differentiation. Or look at it in 2 elementary bit boolean l-r modular problems so solve the calculus of arbitrary excitations/fluxtions in inductive-coinductive in the calculus of categories of ends and coends using modern elementary mathmatical physics just by using noetherian algebras (understsnding why things don't commute rather than associative properties create transitive closures). Understand why noether's theorem and abelian categories are more powerful aways of computing and energy saving by energy scavenging power. Sorry for the sameless plugin and hit me up at sashmit@gmail.com if you want to know more or collaborate. All this can be understood more clearly by treating neural networks as more elementary computer vision applied to more mature algos with more ethical ways of using it.

All seriousness aside, I am a LaTeX user, so I get it. But to me one drawback of LaTeX is that it isn't hierarchically structured in the same way that, say DocBook XML, is. That is, you can't automatically pull out a 3rd level section (all the text under a subsubsection) like you can using XML and an XSLT. Nor can you label such a subsubsection with a "role" (DocBook XML term) and either include it or not include it in your PDF, depending on a parameter that you provide on a command line. (We did that to produce technical and non-technical versions of PDFs.) Rather, I think you have to give what amounts to begin{} and end{} commands.

Correct me if I'm wrong!

BTW, another wysiwym editor is XMLmind--for XML (mostly DocBook), obviously. I think oXygen also does that, although I've only used XMLmind.
And that brings fluid dynamics into the picture, which produces discrepancies orders of magnitude greater than the parabolic/elliptical/etc. distinction!

The advantage of being a native English speaker is that you do not have to waste years of your life learning English as a second language. You could spend the same amount of time learning a different language... but you probably can find a better use for that time.

In the time I spent learning English -- which is still far from perfect, especially in spoken form -- I probably could have learned quantum physics instead. Except, I realistically couldn't have, because good textbooks on this topic do not exist in my language, I wouldn't be able to learn more online, etc.

Now imagine removing an equivalent amount of knowledge from your life -- that is the price you would have to pay for not being a native English speaker.

(The idea of Esperanto as everyone's second language is that instead of some people spending 10+ years learning the common language, and some lucky people spending 0, everyone would spend 2 years instead. Until people would hopefully realize that private languages are useless, and then it would be 0 for everyone.)

>you aren't going to find anyone to argue that C is as safe as Rust.

That's good, I was starting to doubt humanity :)

>As for the TOCTTOU issue --- which is kind of silly, and had really nothing to do with Rust

agree. But well, was what it was claimed in the article.

>On a sane system...

I disagree with this one, although I know I am in the minority. A malloc failure is not a unrecoverable error, and the only reason to abort on memory error is because if you allow malloc errors, then virtually every line of code can fail, because it is either allocating memory or calling some other method that allocates memory. (I imagine you've already read http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2019/p070... section 4.3 but I mention just in case someone hasn't heard of it)

Something similar happens with integer overflow, although we've collectively decided that we prefer to have 2,147,483,647 + 1 = -2,147,483,648. (in both C++ or rust in release mode). But if we assumed that i++ can cause an error, it would mean that every line of code could possible be an error.

But well, back to memory allocation: Just a month ago I had a situation where using a language (C#) which just throws an exception in memory overflow saved my day. I left running overnight a program that builds and creates setups for the programs I make. There are about 190 different setups (win32, 64, linux, and variations), all compressed using max settings in 7zip. Those builds run in parallel in a threadpool, and each 7zip compression takes a lot of memory. So much, that during the night one thread raised an out of memory error. When I woke up next day, I had 189 setups created correctly, and one that failed. I rerun that missing setup and was ready to publish them. Had I used a "sane" language, the full app would have aborted and I would have to run the 190 setups again.

But seriously, it can happen a lot, specially in embedded. You are processing images and one image is too big. Do you abort the app, or report the error and move to the next image?

>this code does essentially the same thing with errors that the Rust one does: it swallows them and continues

Thats was my point in the answer: Rust and C++ don't shallow the error. You have the line:
reader.lines().filter_map(Result::ok)

And then:
if let Err(e) = scanfiles() {
println!("Error: Something unexpected happened: {:#?}", e);

So, if there is an error, it will report it to you, not shallow it. And that is to me the full point: The guy who coded the Rust version would have to go out of his way to shallow the error, while in C it is the default.
It does have a good point about "think hard about how to catch negative value actions" but yeah beyond that it's as realistic as the tennis metaphor
There are a clients that make this convenient. Toot! on iOS has one of the more delightful UI innovations I've seen recently in the form of a wheel in the corner that you can rotate to flip between what looks like different copies of the app, each individually themed and associated with a different account.

The way the result works is that if you are a meter underground, it is equivalent to standing on top of a sphere with the top meter of mass removed.

Or equivalently, if you are inside a shell (sphere outside, hollow sphere inside) then the gravitational effect is zero. This can be explained by analogy with light which also follows the inverse square law--changing your position inside a hollow sphere does not change the fact that you see the sphere all around you. Same reason that there is no electrical field inside a hollow conductive object.
In quantum physics the particles are excitations of a particular field. The gravitons correspond to (excitations in) the curvature of space-time. The other force bosons correspond to (excitations in) the curvature of other fields, such as the electromagnetic field.

Interestingly the Yang-Mills equations (used in quantum mechanics) and the Einstein-Hilbert action (used in general relativity) are pretty much identical if you use general enough mathematics.
Airpods are on the cheap end of the spectrum of things people routinely have repaired by 3rd party shops. This is common for phones/computers, appliances, expensive watches, cars, and gas landscaping tools. TVs, hifis, and more were often independently serviced back when they had discrete parts that could be replaced.
Someone on Twitter said the maintenance is likely around 200k/year. I don’t know how they got there but at the same time you probably need at least one full time staff at that size right?
AFAIK the biggest ongoing expense which such castles is the heating bills which are insane since castles are very big and badly insulated. The gardening expenses are also quite intense; depending on the size of the property you may have to hire personnel.

The price of repairs are also mind-boggling, but for those you can get state subsidies
cultus, which is itself a participle of colo.

I don't disagree with the core point. the rosy image of the USSR respecting local culture does not exactly mesh with my understanding of the history either (though this could be my own ignorance). as an ex-classics major, I simply can't resist the opportunity to engage in some etymological pedantry :)
Dacia is targeting Europe with this car, but it's not planning a British version. Maybe in Britain and US it's not important, but in Eastern-Europe we at least are trying to be respectful with other nations by not changing the pronounciation of the brands too much (also we would just laugh at somebody who doesn't know how to pronounce Porsche correctly). I'm not from Romania, but I haven't ever heard this brand mispronounced in my country.

I personally try to learn a bit of the local language everywhere I travel at least on a very basic level (maybe just a few words), and usually people appreciate it.
By c do you mean the speed of light? How is it dimensionless?
Ok then in that case I think of it as massive objects tend to compress space the closer you get to them. So though your velocity is constant, you are travelling through more space the closer you get to a massive object (since the space is now compressed) which means you are travelling through less time (in order to maintain same velocity).
Except you're in the middle of no where(limoges 1+hr away, bordeaux 2+ hours away). And I guarantee all of your neighbors will hate you.

The intuition we came up with when we had to solve this issue in undergrad physics was interesting.

For each point of any given distance, you can find a disk of points at the plane of the same distance whose gravitational pull will be equivalent to a single point at their center.

You do this for all distances x, and you will find an equivalent rod going from the attracted objected to the center of the sphere, of a non-uniform but symmetrical density.

We find that the density is linearly correlated to the area of the corresponding section, and we then take the closer half of the rod, multiply the density by 1/r^2, and find that it is constant!

For the far half of the rod, we cannot do this, so instead we divide it into two halves of equal pull, then divide those to halves and so on, and find that it this reduces to the equivalent of a point.

Now that we have two points in-line with the object, we find the point with the same total mass that exerts and equivalent force, and lo and behold it is at the center.

I'm sure there is a much simpler way to intuit it, though :)

Again, you think I am disagreeing with your opinion by pointing out that it is an opinion and not a matter of fact. You're only continuing to restate your opinion and insist it is fact.

Claims of objective facts? Objective facts in some context? Badness isn't a matter of fact--it's a matter of opinion, I say again, you're making a value judgement and asserting that as a fact. You may as well tell me an onion is a planet and I can live on it if I believe hard enough.

You think I am disparaging your argument by saying it is mere opinion as though they isn't good enough to be real true fact. I am not, I am merely pointing out that your statement is actually an opinion which you are incorrectly claiming to be a fact.

> I'm also not making some sort of ad populum argument. As I pointed out, any claim of objective fact has to be made in some context that provides it with semantics. In some languages, the expression "1"+"1" is a type error, in others it produces "11". Both of those outcomes are objective facts in some context. What your objection really amounts to is saying that there's no semantic context in which my claim could be true. That's clearly not the case.

"Objective fact" isn't claimed. You seem to be missing that an opinion even if backed up by evidence still isn't itself a fact and thus isn't objective. This isn't a matter of context. The difference between opinion and fact is not like the difference between true and false.

I don't know how you're lost on this. "JS is bad" is an opinion. "JS is objectively bad" is still an opinion but claims to be a fact, because "badness" isn't an objective property. Whether or not something is bad is not a matter of fact, it's a matter of opinion.

The "+" operator performs both string concatenation and addition in JS. <-- That is a fact, anyone can fire up a JS interpreter and confirm this for themselves.

The "+" operator being overloaded to perform string concatenation and addition with implicit type coercion is bad. <-- That's an opinion. While anyone can observe the behavior, they have to make a judgement on whether or not it is desirable and desirability is not a matter of fact.

There are people that repair tiny parts in expensive watches for decades now. And they can do that easily because those watches are designed to last and to be repairable. I don't see how either of your arguments are valid. Especially if your thing is expensive you want to repair it instead of replace it. And concerning trust: We repair expensive cars regularly without any trust issues.
