> Analysis of the mid-Victorian period in the U.K. reveals that life expectancy at age 5 was as good or better than exists today, and the incidence of degenerative disease was 10% of ours.

The major medical advances have been sanitation, antibiotics, and vaccination, which have saved the lives of millions of children. We are otherwise much unhealthier than most people in the past, unless they were unlucky enough to grow up in times of famine, which was not common - though, in all fairness to the modern world, famine has been essentially eradicated altogether in advanced countries.
Can you expand a bit on this? What are the reasons you consider them absurd, and CSS in general?

(honest question)
As someone who used pseudo before/after in my own code, I'd be interested in their potential downsides or issues.
> The main difference though is that gravitation (probably) doesn't have a mass of its own, while EM fields do.

Both gravity and EM fields have energy which is what couples to the gravitational field. Neither of the fields has mass, though.

> If all matter reacted to EM fields the same way it would to gravitation, would that make EM fields no force either? Or put another way, gravitation act universally on all particles, while EM fields do not. That necessarily has consequences when it comes to relativity. However it seems odd to argue that general relativity would exclude gravitation from being a force. If it acted only on a subset of particles, it would likely be in the same position as EM fields, and suddenly become a force again?

This is very well thought. Indeed, the equivalence principle, the fact that gravity couples to everything in exactly the same way (and that includes gravity itself as per the previous clarification) lurks behind our ability to reinterpret gravity in a geometric fashion. After all, if something didn't interact with gravity in the same way as everything else we could establish an experiment to differentiate if a spaceship is accelerating or stationary under a gravitational field (see Einstein's mental experiment) by measuring how that thing behaves. And that same fact would stop us from interpreting gravity as curvature of spacetime itself.

To your last point, speaking of forces is probably antiquated anyway, although still in use partly for historical reasons partly abuse of terminology. Preferably we should use the term "interactions", after all some of the "forces" do not result in push or pull as we usually understand a force in Newtonian mechanics but in things like color change. Others, like the gravitational "force" can be expressed entirely as spacetime geometry. But discussing semantics is quite pointless so as long as everyone understands in what way the term "force" is an abuse of terminology it's OK to keep using it.
I think they mean a closed position without many meaningful moves available. Often times real players make small incremental positional improvements and probe weaknesses, and engines take completely different lines.

> Ikea furniture is not wood it's crap particleboards, cheap plastic, etc. - repairing that looks terrible.

Depends a lot on the line. Eventually one figures it out.

I love the Hemnes line for example: the design suits my tastes and it's all 100% wood – from the smell of it I guess pine.

Regarding the paint job, that can be the case, though I wouldn't know as I normally get them in raw wood. Sometimes I overpaint them myself with a different color.

>Socialism is a political, social and economic philosophy encompassing a range of economic and social systems characterised by social ownership of the means of production and workers' self-management of enterprises.

> Capitalism is an economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production and their operation for profit.

Both of those definitions encompass a wide range of economic systems, but they are fixed definitions. There's never going to be some inversion where "socialism" suddenly describes the private accumulation of capital.
sounds like what happened to the steve jobs home.

There is no male-only chess, women can also compete. Female-only chess clubs and tournaments are a way to encourage women to get into chess in a less hostile, more welcoming environment. Ultimately it's an attempt to bring more diversity to the male-dominated game. In 2019 for example, women made up a higher percentage of chess players then ever before, but still only accounted for 14.6% [0] of registered players.

> As kids, my friends and I used to refer to a mix of polystyrene and gasoline as "DIY napalm".

Yeah, I experimented with this once as a teenager. It's sort of fascinating how much polystyrene you can dissolve into gasoline (makes sense, as EPS is mostly air). Burns with thick black smoke and an acrid smell..

I didn't have any WP to blend into it, though. In retrospect, that was good.

I found some of Lex's remarks and commentary during interviews insightful and intellectual. Like, we're listening to someone who thinks deeply in his own way about life, but doesn't really talk about his own thoughts so much, so have only the occasional glimpse. For me, this is enjoyable to listen to. But I haven't listened to all the interviews; perhaps I ended up choosing the ones that are more familiar subjects for him as well.

For example I really enjoyed the interview with Vitalik Buterin. It felt as much like two people chewing the cud about ideas for what's being created and what we might do in future, and around the economy and social development with an idealistic bent; the sorts of conversations we used to be able to enjoy in university, as it did an interview. I miss those conversations in real life. Nobody I know wants to have them any more. Of course that was driven by Vitalik's ideas, but it was a great setting to hear them; the interview was enjoyable for me.

I agree Lex's voice is remarkable and at first I found it off-putting though intriguing. But after listening for a while I found it different, and calm rather than off-putting. It may have helped me that he explained why he wears black so often, about maintaining a calm and prepared mind. I really respect thoughts expressed like that, I guess because I see myself as a mess (relatively!) and would like to be more like that myself. Just having someone articulate and demonstrate a calmness of mind is a gentle, everyday inspiration.

That calm mind is reminiscent of meditation for me. It makes other interviewers sound like they're trying too hard to be entertainers, zany and interesting, when that's not important to me. Having Lex as a counterpoint, I realised I don't like the zany interviewers at all. I'm not looking for fun, and I'm certainly not looking for the auditory equivalent of razzle-dazzle. I'm looking for calm and interesting thoughts with an air of intellectual curiosity in a calm and reflective timeframe.

I also really like the way the interviews have plenty of time to explore. Hours. It feels like they aren't force-scripted to fit in X questions into Y preset minutes as other podcast interviewers. I expect there is a fair amount of preparation, but it feels relaxed as a result. I don't have time to listen to them, to be honest. But the length makes them more of a treat. It's like reading a long book: Rather than having one hit like a short story, it's more like something which takes a week to read and is a bit of a treat at bedtime or at lunch, to read in pieces. I'll go back and listen to a single Lex podcast over repeated sessions. The continuity makes it something to look forward to, and it's pleasing to know the style of material will last me a while. It doesn't need to be densely packed to be an enjoyable listen, and this is a lovely antidote to the high-intensity workout of some other podcasts.
Only 15 grand a month. You would need a household income of 380k to reasonably afford that house.
> wasn't cheaper than hiring local custom kitchen company for similar materials

Only if you value your time at 0. If you value your time at more than that, the time it takes to get a contractor and back and forth with him to agree on a design etc makes it more expensive, since with Ikea you pretty much opt into a generic solution of one-size-fits-all.

I agree it's not for everyone; though I wouldn't say it's the McDonalds of furniture – this would IMO be Poco (https://www.poco.de/); also I'm saying that as someone who doesn't eat McDonalds :-D
- The HP archives had been moved to a building without any protection. Before that the archives used to be in special vaults with fire-protection. (ref. spectrum.ieee.org)

- There doesn't appear to have been plans to digitize them, not at a large scale anyway - these were papers and notes and documents in a wide variety of formats, tricky to digitize unless you have a professional organization to do so (e.g. a museum working with old documents).

- In short, the HP archives seem to have been simply collected and stored, and not safely (after the archive was moved to an "ordinary" building).
Yeah the moment you take on a dependency and put it into your code, you vouch for it. That's why so many open source (or even proprietary) licenses have the NO LIABILITY clause.

My god, did we hit the spot where people think everything is wireless ...
When I moved in with my GF, I wanted to get rid of my IKEA furniture (table&chairs, couple of chests of drawers, etc) so I called a place that takes furniture donations, cleans it up and gives it to needy families.

When they heard it was IKEA the guy said it was more trouble than it was worth for them because they end up throwing it out. When I said "no problem, I'll break it up for kindling for my dad" he immediately said, "Wait! It's wood! Yeah, we'll happily take that."
Surely the problem with large servers is that they're difficult to moderate, difficult to grow a sense of community, and all the other problems that lead the OP to suggest that 5000 is a vague upper limit.

If you are going to go with bigger servers, what is Mastadon doing to support them (socially, not technically)?
I’m not sure, maybe OP means a board where you would customarily ask for a draw as there is no way for you to win and the opponent could only get a stalemate at best.
People have vastly different definitions of "very poor quality". It all depends on your expectations. If you expect the same quality as expensive robust solid furniture, you will be disappointed. But if you want that type, you'll need to pay for it.

There are also people who endlessly complain how uncomfortable it is to fly with low-cost airlines like Ryanair, but you can bet they will pick the cheapest low-cost flight for their next trip as well and complain again. If you want comfort you'll have to pay for it. Otherwise, you get what you pay for. It's still perfectly good for its function. Perhaps it gets a bit crooked or it's kind of moving and warping when you open it, but whatever. It holds my clothes and books just fine.
If you want to, you can add further metal parts to strengthen the frame as well.
>basically every elite athlete is doping.

Yes this! You have 3 doping levels from cheapest to really expansive:

3: Silver (the doping that is known and detectable)

2: Gold (known and probably detectable but often combined with additional substance to "wash it out" faster or hide it behind other stuff like "legal" painkillers etc)

1: Platinum (doping that is not detectable in the next 5 years "seal of proof by laboratories?")

--------

3: Is for your little Darling or Bodybuilders ;)

2: For your National-cup

1: For Olympics, World-cups etc..(everything where lots of money is behind)

Once I started working from home full time (a couple years B.C. - Before Covid) buying a house within walking distance of my children's school and our church. A twenty minute walk is worlds better than a similar drive.
Exactly. My wife and I are big into reuse, trying to donate, give away or sell all the things someone could use, instead of throwing them away. Experience is varied. Sometimes we do wish the process wouldn't have to involve dealing with actual people. We've been literally told to commit suicide, only because we didn't have time to make more photos of a thing freely given away, over the ones we posted on the group. Also, putting even a ridiculously small price tag on something not only doesn't scare problem people away - it brings out more of them.
The Jacobin is in my opinion. Although I don't engage with politics if at all anymore.

True, but if your just 0.2% better because of doping your still on the winning side.
I'm a big believer in Wikidata as an independent and free source of facts, but there are two major flaws in this:

1. It's super tricky to get the queries right. SPARQL is so unknown by the data community, so it's hard to get help. Plus there are super sudden quirks that lead to erroneous results (e.g. not all relationships are shown if you filter the data _some way_ but no in a _slightly different way_).
2. Wikidata facts are often _not_ leveraged by Wikipedia itself. This leads to divergence between the two datasets, sadly the more popular one is also the one that's unstructured. Unless we properly tie these two services, we won't get an up-to-date linked database.

I have worked fairly hard on updating Wikidata with local facts (politics, mostly) over the past year or so and the two issues noted above have consistently dampened by motivation to continue.

Depends on the country. It's a reinforced concrete structure( including floors) where I live and double brick walls with insulation between them here. We have lots of sand so concrete is relatively cheap. I have literally never seen a single house made out of wood here and I have been to a lot of construction sites.
He means that a real GM would know that the position is a draw and would offer a draw and stop playing. The cheater doesn't know so he has the engine keep playing forever.
There are so many more men playing that the chances of finding a woman strong enough to win a top tournament are slim. We would have men-only tournaments with a reverse gender ratio.

Then there are commercial and opportunity reasons. The winner of a women-only tournament is always a women and sponsors can show a winning woman to their customers. Furthermore it could help to recruit new female players. I'd like to hear from a woman about that because maybe knowing that they'll win only in a protected area, or the very existence of protected areas, could actually discourage them to play.

BTW, the same principles apply to the game of Go (only one woman ever won a major open tournament), and even the anti cheating measures.
Really? I'm surprised that you think the Oasis is worth the higher price considering just how much higher that price is.

What other reasons would you recommend it for?
It might be the case that your memory usage data on "aeson" is outdated. Prior to some later releases it was rendering in two passes: first into AST (the Value type) than from that into ByteString (Builder). It's likely that your extended memory usage was coming from that. Later they had the `Encoding` abstraction introduced to avoid that 2-pass problem. Both "jsonifier" and "buffer-builder" avoid that 2-pass problem by design.

Marketplace to connect blog and newsletter owners with Sponsors/Advertisers
Hi everyone. I have been working on a new project the last few months called AudienceHunts https://audiencehunts.com

The aim of the project is to create a marketplace where sponsors can connect with newsletter and blog owners for sponsorship and marketing.

While there are some few websites that already do this, I couldn't find a perfect one for newsletters and blogs.

Google ads and Facebook ads are great promotion tools but people hate ads. Having an influencer promote your product to a targeted audience can have huge ROI .

If you run a newsletter or blog with a significant number of subscribers and looking for sponsors, you can add it to our database via this link https://audiencehunts.com/submit-a-newsletter

Monetize your newsletter/blog with us. Thanks.
This may be partially or wholly true.

Athletes and the public have a different interpretation of what doping actually is. The public thinks of doping as taking performance enhancing substances.

Athletes think of doping as crossing the specified threshold/limit.

I have heard this interpretation on TV from a well connected Dutch cycling journalist ( Mart Smeets ).

Every athlete takes performance enhancing substances.
Oh, so he wasn't joking. He was mocking the people who think he should be held accountable for his actions. As they're annoying.

The clear role lithium played on the coup, the known pressure placed by the US to force that coup, and the economic benefit to Tesla both immediately after the coup and long term. I'll admit it's hardly conclusive, but it's enough that his response was terrible.

> The number of times I've been downvoted to invisibility and flagged makes it completely not worth my time unless I'm talking to someone interesting who has an idea already.

I totally understand the sentiment; thing is, this isn’t a quant forum, it’s mostly tech, and even then more software than hardware — either you should take the downvotes as a hint to simplify, or as a hint to not bother with that topic here.

Again, I really do sympathise with your frustration: no matter how I try, I can’t get non-programmers to understand even the basics of cryptography and why police master-keys/backdoors are a bad idea.

Sadly, the Truing Pi looks to be the last Raspberry Pi cluster board of it's kind. Moving away from the SO-DIMM form factor might be a good idea for the Pi foundation, but it's not good for people who were hoping for a drop-in replacement for the CM3, or for folks who were even just hoping for a Raspberry Pi version of Turing Pi (the CM4 lies flat instead of vertical).

And that these two functions of money are somewhat in tension with each other, which adds to the problems people have using money the way they would like.
Mmm, maybe it's me but I look at the pointer on the screen, not at the touchpad. I move my index finger and the pointer moves.
