Maybe I should have left it. Each time I make the argument: conversations are two way streets, that we all have the option to manage our responses, etc...

It seems like the battle for real expression, however beautiful or ugly it may be, is already lost.

It may be lost in the legal department and "save the children" legislative assemblies.

In any case, you are not wrong.

In the vast majority of these more toxic interaction attempts, others employing their many options besides righteous indignation do tend to enjoy far less toxic outcomes.

And when modeled by a few notable contributors, its catchy. Entire communities can be inoculated.

I have seen this establishing of norms turn toxic people into strong advocates.

It all starts with everyone understanding what their options are and that they really can manage their responses toward good.

Of course that's work we have to do and the work, futile in my view, to attempt to control others seems to attract more energy and here we are.

Humor is one of my favorite gotos. It offers a very wide range of outs for all involved.
Amazing! Yeah, our search has two options, one for groups and one for individuals, so you can find a game for either. So glad to see groups of friends getting back together and adventuring again.
It surely must depend on the chronic illness and on the personality of the sufferer, but I imagine ultimately it comes down to accepting what you can't control and making the best of what you can.

I have CFS. Two people close to me have MS, and another has pretty severe UC and related autoimmune disorders.

Everyone on my list seems to be bearing up pretty well, knock wood. All of us have been managing these conditions for upwards of fifteen or twenty years now. Each of us had to get used to the idea that our lives would be different from what we imagined. But each of us is still living, and still doing things that seem worthwhile to us.

For all of us it seems like the hardest part was the months right after diagnosis, while we were grieving the life we thought we were going to have and getting used to the one we were apparently going to have instead.

But the adjustment can be made. Some of us, at least, have made it.

It helps to have friends and family that understand.
Assuming that you mean the incident that resulted in the X.org X11 distribution being actually usable for end users it was essentially the other way around. It was about XF86 relicencing originally MIT licensed code under GPL-incompatible license similar to 4-clause BSD.

Sure, there is certainly a lot of jargon here which I could have explained better, but in the end one has to be familiar with some calculus and complex numbers to make sense of this topic. Depending on where you're from, this could be either late high-school to second/third year of university.

So by exponential I mean the exponential function, in the mathematician's sense: something which takes numbers as inputs and produces other numbers as outputs in a unique way. Already a complication: these can be complex numbers.

Then, the derivative of a function is its "instantaneous rate of change". How much does the function increase for small (infinitesimal, really) changes in input? Since this rate may be different for every point, we are defining a new function f': for every input of f, f' gives you the local rate of change. So there you go, the derivative takes a function f and produces a function f'. We call this an operator. Because the derivative has very nice properties, we call this a "linear" operator.

Finally, the "eigen"-things. These are really fancy words for the simple concept of a fixed-point: when you apply an operation to a certain thing X and just get that X back. So, the function x^2 has two fixed-points: 0 and 1. These would be "eigenpoints", but we don't call them that because we reserve the term "eigen" for linear operations, such as the derivative operator or matrix-multiplication.

The point of my answer is that the exponential function is elegantly understood as the eigenfunction of the derivative. In other words: which function is its own derivative? Which one tells you how it changes just by looking at it?

Bear in mind 1ns = the time a ray of light would travel 30cm in a vacuum.
While conceptually similar (and made me think of the same thing), this doesn't really look like the same thing. In the Mac case, it was (ab)using technically unused addressed bits in unintended ways. In the ARM case, it is an explicit architectural feature. More like pointer tags in Lisp machines.
Does that 100 year rule apply to undeveloped areas? My neighborhood is 20 years old and before it existed, it was wilderness in the middle of nowhere. I wonder how well flood data is tracked for that type of land.
His math is correct. Also, it's really easy math to verify. It's not surprising either. With the stated yields, you could feed a person. You'd need more for a family.

Of course, the yields could probably be improved in order to get the 140 or so lbs needed to feed a family of 3
There are a lot of clever ideas like this that have started getting branded under "regenerative agriculture". It is most in use on land that is already pretty degraded, dry, or has irregular rainfall. It has also had more popularity with animal/grazing systems than row crops. The key is that when you have healthier soil you get tons of benefits for free instead of spraying, fertilizing, and irrigating.

The listed caveat that it takes years to return to previous yields is important. Healthy soil doesn't happen overnight. Farmers that already have a lot of debt will struggle to make this switch.

"The Call of the Reed Warbler" is a book that has extensive case studies and stories about people applying regenerative agriculture to their farms. It is especially focused on Australia.

Hi Guys, thanks for all your feedbacks. (I'm part of the CS team)
I'll try to address some few questions.

1/ You don't have to communicate. If you don't, you get a modern, fast, decoupled fail2ban with many various remediations (instead of just drop) and observability. What you don't get though are the IPs spotted by the crowd and curated by us. You don't contribute, you don't get them, fair. If you contribute, only offending IP / timestamp / scenario triggered are sent back to us to establish what we call a consensus (to avoid false positives and poisoning)

2/ We are super vigilant and sensitive about privacy. We made the architecture and many other crucial points compatible with GDPR (EU Law framework regarding private data handling)

3/ IP sent: We could hash it, but it's very easy to reverse. Maybe have a public/private key encryption, quite a good point, I'll tell the team, thx.

4/ You can contribute scenario in YAML or data source connectors in Grok. We are not hardcore for or against any language, but Go allows portability (we'll release Win & Macos binaries) and is container friendly, plus super fast, easy to read and scalable. Ever since we released, tons of proposal were made to port it to a 'real' language, sorry we are fine with that choice, no intent to change, no intent to convert anyone either ;)

5/ Herd immunity is what we want to create indeed. We tried to explain the combination of Behavior + Reputation by using an analogy with Waze. It worked but is less accurate. I prefer the one with Immune system.

We are available for direct dialog on gitter. allow just some delays depending on your time zone, we are based in France, so CEST. (https://gitter.im/crowdsec-project/community) we answer in French & English.

Try it, it's free, MIT licensed and stable: https://github.com/crowdsecurity/crowdsec

Thanks,

Philippe.
How would the general public make informed decisions about root CAs if the people paid to do it for living have problems doing it?

Review: ‘Operation Enough How to Retire Remarkably Early’ by Anita Dhake
> My tolerance for toxic people and employers is pretty low these days, I know better than to try to "suck it up" anymore.

I say this a lot, but one of best things you can learn is when to remove yourself from a toxic situation. You aren't going to win points by sticking it out, you're just going to put your health and ability to cope in jeopardy the longer you're in it.
How so? It looks like this is their only software product, and it doesn't look like they issue certificates.
> Okay, I know what exponential increase means

This is the first thing that needs to break in your intuition. The "increase" that occurs with "repeated multiplication" in the layman's understanding of exponentials is associated with the real numbers or subsets of the real numbers.

In reality, the exponential map is a repeated "action," where the action can be rotational, as is the case with the imaginary numbers. You can also exponentiate matrices, polynomials, quaternions, etc. Each one has a well-defined exponential map, which you can write down and evaluate.
You're overlooking a) existing page table lookup overhead b) hierarchical caching.
For me personally, I had to force myself to stop accepting the status quo, the dogmatic ideals and start studying my own issues. I spent a bit of time on nih.gov and many other sites to learn about specifics and also learn a lot more about the human physiology. I never imagined in my youth that I would have spent so much time learning molecular biology and the human metabolism.

What I learned at a high level? So it turns out that if they only people you talk to are doctors, then your options will be limited. Doctors don't have time to research everything and most of them are not scientists. There are also some cases where doctors may subconsciously ignore options that may conflict with their business model. In many cases doctors will only suggest what their industry knows they won't get sued for and what insurance companies won't fight them on. In my case, I was told I would be on BP meds forever and it would only get worse with time and I could expect to not last more than a few years. Well, that was a load of BS and that came from multiple doctors at multiple hospitals. It turns out, you can de-calcisfy and de-plaque arteries and reverse damage to them. It's actually not at all difficult. I have lowered by over BP 20 points and I am still making progress.

TL;DR Read up on your issues until you know more about it than the scientists that have researched it. Take the time to learn some biology and what aspects surrounding your condition that you can control. Your body is the most important thing you own.
I can't help but feel like the real point the author is trying (not very successfully) to communicate is the importance of considering how other people will interpret and understand your messages. This includes content (will they understand this acronym?), but also includes how they are likely to interpret the tone of your message. Punctuation, grammar, emojis, etc. help to communicate tone -- but that doesn't lend itself to a blanket "always use punctuation" statement. Being too formal can appear cold and aloof; being too informal can appear apathetic or unkind.

It's also important to consider the range of reactions. For those who understand an acronym, they likely won't even notice; for those who don't understand it, they risk losing face and potentially looking like an idiot when they have to ask what the acronym means. The "time saved" is helpful, sure, but considering how people will respond goes beyond "how much time will they spend asking a follow-up question?" and also includes "how will they feel if they don't understand this?"
A 128-bit CPU is not something I'd find outlandish in 20 years. OTOH, I was reading my e-mail on a 64-bit workstation (largely by accident, but still).

In any case, I'd be quite surprised to see a 64-bit CPU doing such heavy lifting in 2040.

I think it's less about formalism than it is about clear communication.

The pay I would say is competitive for programming jobs in the respective areas as long as you're not comparing to the top tier companies. Even then, base pay isn't so far off, but you don't get equity.

In Vancouver for example, a programming job in the film industry and outside it will net you 90-150k on the high end, and film pays equally well in that area.

In LA, you have a lot of FAANG companies entering the film industry too with FAANG wages. Netflix in particular is bonkers high.
With the carbon fiber shoes, there is now essentially mechanical, uh, "assistance" in running.

Improvement of equipment is always a massive gray area. Cycling (aside from electric motors) has aerodynamic bikes, wind tunnel access. XC skiing has environmentally bad teflon wax. Swimming, theoretically the most naked/equipment-less sport, has sharkskin suits and buoyancy aids.

There are other advantages like expensive altitude tents.
At what cost for fertilizer, water, and labor?

For potatoes, about 1 ton of (commercial) fertilizer would be required, and a lot of water (around 2,800m3 of water), which is fine if you live in the mid-west with lots of rain, less fine in the desert portions of California.
This is great advice. Stability and looking after yourself are key strategies to make your life easier. Save money if you can. Having a buffer makes it easier to say no or walk away or take time off.

I think that the invisibility of chronic illness combined with the expectations of society and others is the hardest thing to deal with. Especially during certain life phases, and especially with people who are close where the expectations reveal themselves over time (family, partners / their family, business associates). Empathy can erode over time too.

Every man and his dog will give you advice how to manage or cure things, but in the case of an ambiguous chronic illness, I found that being selective about who you listen to / when you listen is best. Some days you say to hell with it and ignore everyone's advice. Other days you will wake up and say, today is the day I am going to try this that I haven't tried before. Also keep an eye out for those little things that make a difference that nobody knows about but you. Don't feel like you have to justify them to anyone.
Stories of reaching Staff-plus engineering roles – StaffEng – StaffEng
My first assignment as a developer was porting some common formats to Java, mostly PNG and MD5 (weird combo I know, but there were reasons).

I spent a week banging my head against the FFI for Java to get MD5 C code wrapped, and then in a fit of pique tried to do an all-Java implementation.

Since Java is a C-family language, transcribing the code from the specification was a cakewalk, and I had something working within a day.

Because of the PNG work (and a fascination with compression) I've also spent some time in the zlib code, and the zlib code is... unusual. Among other things, it has longjmp support built in so you can do cooperative multitasking in single-threaded systems. That and some aggressive work to assert that there is sufficient free memory to run zlib properly, makes the code a bit more novel. I don't think you or I would write the code that way, so it's implausible that someone would accidentally replicate the code, in this scenario or any other.

ArduBee – A micro drone for open source development now available
Perhaps not by the Russian government, but interestingly the dossier’s primary sub-source (responsible for assembling the claims from other sources) was a Russian, Igor Danchenko, who had previously been investigated as a potential Russian spy. He admitted he mostly fabricated the claims, i.e. it was disinformation, and he pulled it from contacts in Russia.

Curiously, he was working at Brookings, home to people like Ben Wittes of Lawfare (a good friend of James Comey), who was a major proponent of Russiagate.

Now if he actually was a Russian spy, he’s a very good one, as he managed to trigger ongoing surveillance of a campaign and a sitting President (& it was acknowledged this wouldn’t have been approved without the dossier), which led to a massive investigation and ultimately an impeachment (thanks in part to Mueller holding back the report until the Democrats took the house). And all this continues to echo in the division and anger we see today. That would have to be some of the most effective Russian meddling ever.

One source re Danchenko (there are others):

I meant that they wouldn't consider the difficulties of moderating a multi-million user instance. I believe they have enough to deal with when it comes to moderating their half-million user instance. Also I think a large number of those users have either stopped using it, or moved to different instances.
Thank you for the tip! We will have a look at it!
I was about to add Google Fit support to an app I developed for a research lab in my school's math department, but Google just killed that idea.

Reading Google Fit data will require an external audit of the server involved and a fee of "between $15,000 and $75,000 (or more)" to a third party firm. This seems like a big barrier to reach a small market.

Is anyone else here currently using the Google Fit API? Will you continue to do so, and what size user-base do you have?
ManBearPig is the perfect example of something everyone really needs to know: if someone appears to be a galactic asshole, who makes a mean-spirited TV show where everyone behaves like a jerk, then it's quite likely that they are in fact an asshole. These entertainments are not edgy, insightful cultural artifacts. They're just assholes on TV.
Review of ‘Unspeak’ by Steven Poole – How Words Become Weapons
Thanks. I didn't ddg hard enough. r/chess tells me part of lichess' cheat detection is similar to my hunch.

So maybe my only novel suggestion is running lichess (or equiv) live in parallel. Something livestream viewers could also help with.

And I hope someone's replaying historical games.

"how a deep search is needed to evaluate"

Of course. Obvious now that you mention it.

I assumed different programs would make different suggestions. So overseers would want to run a few programs to see if any matched the player's gameplay, style, etc.

Probably the last time I played chess was on an IBM PC XT. The quality of misc game engines varied widely. Of course there's probably been a convergence since.

Indeed it has been longer than that. The hope was that at least with 6 months lowered economic activity there would be some temporal relief - though the lag from CO2e pollution to temperature spike is probably significantly more than 6 months so no benefit would be seen until next year.
> HTML by itself can't receive input or create output.

Neither can an ELF binary. It needs a loader to execute it.

> It can't run or be executed.

Yes it can, with a runtime that understands HTML.

> It doesn't transform state or even have state. It's not Turing complete.

That's not a requirement for a program.

Completely talking out of my ass here but those electrons making up the density of matter in inter-stellar space, could they be what is causing CMB radiation?

Seeing as energy is never lost, they just bounce around interstellar space until caught up in a heliosphere of a star system.

Either way I love how the Voyager probes are literally giving us first real impressions of the universe beyond theories.
This is a lot less severe than the others in this thread but to reflect on a far less worse issue: I try to hold the condition with compassion as much as I can meet it. I have chronically dry and irritated sinuses that started about five years ago and nobody understands just how difficult it is to bear this thing. The continuing, endless persistence of it and doctor after doctor just shrugging their shoulders has really contributed to a low-level rage at the futility of modern healthcare mostly.

Meditating on the essential impermanence of this body has helped to a degree. But it takes some highly exalted states to separate self from the suffering part of the body and I just don't have a lot of time nowadays to get up to those.
I think his affiliation with MIT probably helped to start with, but you still have to shoot your shot. He interviewed three billionaires before episode 20 (none of which would give a shit about plasma physics btw, lol).
Exactly. At the moment there is no way to determine if a strong player used an engine for a single move or not (without proctoring). And one perfect move in a critical position can make all the difference. Also more subtle cheaters would never boost their performance to carlsen levels, but instead increase their performance slightly (e.g. from 2550 to 2650 a +100 elo boost).
As a counterpoint : I have enjoyed quite some nightlife over the years, but I have never stumbled upon cocaine.

I am sure there is plenty.

These aren't ad hominem attacks because they get to the central issue we are discussing. Different news agencies have different reputations for verifying that authenticity of what they report. I'm not going to give a story in the National Enquirer the same credibility as a story published in the New York Times. It isn't an ad hominem attack to voice that opinion.

Although I do notice that you did not address the merit of my post. There is a little irony there.

I don't have literature one way or the other, it's a very hard question that depends a lot on your criteria... But I don't think organic will ever take over completely, I mainly hope that it demonstrates to producers that consumers value attributes other than $/lb, trials a different way of doing things, and leads to industrial ag adopting the best parts.

While we are talking hopes & dreams, I also have my fingers crossed that a growing higher-end market for fruits & vegetables could push back on some of the consolidation & commodification happening in US farmland, which has not been good for small farmers.
