I don't know what the nation's attitude towards this is, but as someone who served on the ground in Afghanistan and had friends separated from the military (losing benefits and other problems) for bringing an ipod into a secured space, it is hard to watch Democrats say things like, "Hillary Clinton would be president today if Comey didn't send that memo."

What they're saying out loud IS escaping accountability and they're putting it in moralistic and advocacy forms. If a bunch of enlisted folks who make less than 30k a year get the equivalent (or close to) a felony for their actions, I would expect the Secretary of State to get much more.

Obviously it makes it hard to have this discussion in light of someone like Trump who has escaped accountability at every turn, and attempts to do so devolve into a sick game of "which is worse". What I'd like to remind people of is what she did is a felony for most, and the constituents (and her) turned it into a meme to escape accountability. If we're big enough to say Donald Trump is bad, I think we're big enough to stop letting people trivialize this issue to their own ends too.
> "I've heard the same power limitation described as a reason why electric kettles basically don't exist here"

I never realised that, but it makes sense. Canadians don't use electric kettles either and they like their tea! When I lived in Canada everyone seemed to have a stovetop whistling kettle.

Looking at my Australian-designed Chinese-built UK kettle, it's rated at "2760-3000W", which is far more than can be drawn from a standard US 120V outlet.

Don't have a chronic condition (as far as I know) but have a child with a minor autoimmune issue. Having someone you care about affected provides a somewhat interesting "sideline" perspective on the best course of action. Here is what I did:

1. Try to learn what the world knows. I've read 2 books and close to 100 scientific papers ranging from 1980 up to 2020 about the condition. This helps placing the incident as a point along the timeline. You will see how people in the past coped with it, what are the most promising treatments today, and what is coming up around the corner. Also a lot of insights into what might have caused it and what changes can be made to slow it down. Also you will most likely see that the future is bright. The medicine is full of hot upcoming things. Training t-cells to fight cancer, selectively suppressing certain pathways to turn-off auto-immune responses, healing gut bacteria to get rid of sub-clinical infections, etc.

2. Find the best doctor who takes a personal interest in your case. You should be able to go to your doctor and discuss any new development, any changes you noticed, and get a reasonable advice back. The doctor will compare your case with other persons he/she is treating and will be able to give you a lot of advice, even some anecdotal wisdom.

3. In addition to your local doctor, try identifying the leading figures that are investigating the disease across the globe. They typically attend conferences which you can find online, or write blogs on some website, or other things like that. They will also respond to emails, especially after seeing that you did your homework and know about their work.

4. If the disease is manageable - do what you can to stay healthy. Eat healthier, sleep healthier, avoid stress and excess pollution. Most diseases have some individual-specific corners to them. In this case experiment until you find what works for you.

5. For personal peace of mind, think about the big picture. Do not compare yourself with others. Rather think about what you are able to achieve for this world compared with the case of not being born at all. You will find that it is substantially better, for the world and humanity, for you to be born with the condition, than to loose you. Concentrate on that and do your part, do what you want, do what you can.

In the end I think that onset of some illness might be a hidden blessing. Someone might be healthy all life, seek pleasures too much, and waste a lot of it on hedonism. A durable yet uncomfortable disease can provide direction and a boost in motivation. And if the disease can be managed by a healthy lifestyle, chances are, you will turn out to be healthier than the average person on the street.

I think the goal should not be to lower the standards for everyone, it should be to help bring people up to the basic standards.

The more often people write informally, the more difficult it is for non-native speakers to learn correct grammar. I almost always use full sentences and correct punctuation in all forms of communication. But I make sure to always write correctly when I'm communicating with non-native speakers. I am doing them a disservice, otherwise. And it's also frustrating to me when I'm learning a language and what I'm reading from native speakers is below even my capability.

Also, I think there's a difference between making mistakes in a foreign language, and being lazy or not caring. For example, capitalizing the first letter of a sentence or the word "I" is something that 99% of people know they should do. So that mistake is not usually due to lack of fluency in a language.
I have ankylosing spondylitis, a form of arthritis that mostly affects the spine but for me also affects my other joints. I used to work out constantly in high school until it got worse in college and I could no longer tax my joints that way.

I live with it by trying to do as many healthy habits as I can and reducing stress as much as possible. Healthy diet, good sleep, meditation (<- massively helpful to me), physical therapy (the gentlest exercises I can do without causing pain to any of my joints). I also just try to be a bit kinder to myself. When I was younger and unaffected, I was certainly more arrogant about life and pushed myself to the limit in a variety of facets and took it hard when I didn't achieve something. Now, I try to live the healthiest and happiest life possible and not get angry at myself when I cannot focus or am tired.

I live with pain in my joints everyday, but I still consider my condition mild compared to many who have autoimmune arthritis.

I just try to live the healthiest life I can and remain hopeful for a better treatment in the future. It's being working well so far :)
While an interesting study in aesthetics, web brutalism or html brutalism isn't really brutalist at all. They all seem hyper-focused on exposing raw building materials when that totally misses brutalism's goals. A simple, small, unpainted cinder block shack doesn't hide its materials, is made of raw concrete, but probably isn't brutalist. Neither is a brick victorian.

The idea that beautiful forms can come from purely functional design without needing to cover things up with baroque decoration is really a central theme. As is making these huge structures with small, modular elements designed at human scale to get something that's truly people-focused. All of this stems from a utopian idea that scaling production can provide functional, beautifully designed buildings for use by all people, rather than just the privileged few. While the style is polarizing, I'd say it often accomplished its goals. In my experience, well-designed brutalist buildings are easy to navigate, have large open spaces, have lots of little nooks and crannies to foster human interaction, and have really beautiful forms.

While the page has nice enough lines and makes good use of color, the html tags have quite the opposite effect that a brutalist-era designer would hope to bestow upon the user. In this way, I'd say that this website is a far better example of brutalism than that website.
Alexandra Botez and others have talked about it at considerable length. Suffice it to say, none of them feel discouraged to play by the existence of women's titles. And they all have pretty horrible stories of harassment or even assault growing up as young women in the chess world. Women's titles are not some sort of value reducing participation trophies, and the chess world is far more hostile as a status quo than you're assuming.
I had no idea lichess was FOSS and that it was written mostly in Scala [0]. I've been playing in chess.com just because it was the first platform I saw. Thank you, I'm definitely making the switch.

This looks well done, but having used Haskell professionally on multiple web projects, I have to take issue with some of the design choices.

Templating? Haskell provides such a wonderfully clean way to generate HTML via combinators and do notation. You don't need a quasi quoter to get a DSL. See Lucid. All templating does is remove control features (like forM, for example). [1]

They've reinvented common operators. For example, (|>), which is great, I've used it in Elm, but the Haskell version of this is (&) from Data.Function.

These are just a few examples. They're ignoring Haskell conventions to make it more familiar to people coming from other backgrounds, even when the community conventions are strictly better or equal. Rails was a nightmare for me, it was impossible to tell what was a language feature and what came from the framework. I suspect this will equivalently speed up initial development while slowing understanding.

Sean from Opalstack here, just want to say that we're ready for you and that we're thrilled to see our former WF customers heading our way!

We've got automated WebFaction migrations ready to go for Wordpress sites, MySQL databases, and generic PHP apps. Those are part of a suite of migration tools that are under rapid development, with the goal of having a one-step (or close to that) migration for any WF customer who wants to move over to our service.

Moral philosophy is also philosophy, and it's only tangentially related to the structure of knowledge.

I think the problem with defining "philoosphy" is that any time a field becomes sufficiently well-defined, they stop calling it "philosophy". Natural philosophy is now "science". Early practitioners of economics, linguistics, and even law were called "philosophers". Fields like sociology and cognitive science still overlap a lot with philosophy departments.

What's left in philosophy is those fields that are still vague and without definitive answers even at the base level. Epistemology (structure of knowledge) and ethics are two broad headlines that encompass much of what's called "philosophy" now, but a lot of work in philosophy departments only barely fits into those categories (like those that also lump under sociology).

These fields are important, though it's easy for fans of "hard sciences" to dismiss them because they're so poorly defined. It's worth remembering that Newton and Darwin both considered themselves philosophers. They were the ones who took poorly defined fields to gave them rigorous footings, and we respect them for finding the order in what was orderless before they started.

Here's a fun perspective from someone who knows very little about maths, but has a huge interest in logic.
I have a question for you: At what 'level' of maths or understanding do you reckon someone has to be in order to make sense of your introductory paragraph?
Let me map out what happens in my head when I read that first paragraph:

> "I find that the most elegant way to understand exponential-related things"...

Okay, I know what exponential increase means. Something grows by an exponent of something. 2416...

> "is by defining the exponential as the function satisfying f'=f (with suitable normalization)"...

I don't know what an exponential is. A function, to me, is something I call as part of code, so I am not sure if I might be confusing the programmer and mathematician-definition of 'function'. I don't really know how to interpret f'=f in any way. (F-apostrophe equals f? Why?). I also don't really know how normalization plays into it. For me, normalization is something related to homogenising a series of things. Sometimes it can be related to normalising the volume of a bunch of mp3 files, or in other cases it can be turning a bunch of badly formatted phone numbers into a common format for a database.

> "In other words, it is the "eigenfunction" of the derivative, which is a linear operator. This is a very natural thing to ask when studying derivatives, ODEs, etc."

I have often heard terms like "eigen"-something, but this always causes me trouble, because I end up parsing it in German ("eigen" means "self" in German). So now it is the "self"-function of something?
Okay, of the 'derivative'. Is a derivative the mathematician's way of saying "figuring out something you don't know by using a bunch of other things you do know"?
I do not know what a linear operator is at all.
I also do not know what ODEs are.

You see, I love logic and science and have been a programmer for so long, yet when I hear something like the statement above, I almost become despondent over the fact that seemingly I know nothing of the underpinnings or logical foundations of the things I spend my life with (aka computers and programming being born from maths...).

Anyway, just a random drive-by thought.

Yes but exactly because the decentralized currency is much more difficult to control and explicitly circumvents parts of current banking regulations, I have a hard time fathoming that policy makers and central banks would advocate decentralized currencies. The post that I was replying to seemed to suggest that CBDCs would be decentralized or in some way inherently different from the centralized digital settlement of transfers that exists in many countries today, and I want to understand why that should be the case? Why would CBDCs work more like decentralized cryptographic currencies than the current financial system?

I am not passing a judgment on whether decentralized currencies are good, but I do not understand why central banks would move in that direction.
You seem to imply that this story shows how obvious it is for people to know when they're in a food plain.

I think it shows the opposite. This person bought a house, was a victim of a flood, and still didn't realize they were in a flood plain.
I tried this service and ran 2 campaigns with different groups of friends. It was amazing. DND was something I wanted to try for a long time but the barrier to entry was (at least, perceived to be) really high.

> CryptoAPI, for its warts, is actually beautifully engineered, in that Microsoft has had the ability to add arbitrary constraints and properties to certificates from the very first release (via CERT_PROP_IDs). You don’t really see these in the UI; you only find out about them in WinCrypt.h, or via debugger stepping. However, it means that even if the UI is showing “trusted for TLS”, Microsoft may have disabled trust for TLS via the extended properties, which their APIs respect, and which are delivered through authroots.cab

I mean no disrespect, but if you need to look through header files or use step-through debugging to actually find out what constraints apply to a certificate, especially when the ones actually reported for the certificate don't actually apply in reality then "beautifully engineered" doesn't seem like the right adjective to use.

edit: I don't see this as a documentation issue; when the only interface you provide the user says one thing but stepping through the code reveals that that's entirely not true for certain items in certain circumstances, then having a better ReadMe is not the issue here.

Many useful projects get abandoned just because someone made a more popular alternative.

Overall most home buyers do not waive inspection contingencies. Here is an article with precise recent data about exactly this: https://www.nationalmortgagenews.com/news/housing-markets-bu....

At least in the bay area, several homes I looked at had clear disclosures stating that they were in "very high fire hazard zones."

The bigger issue for us was what to do with this info. The best the realtor can do is say your homeowners insurance may be more expensive. But, the realtor won't know if insurance companies will decide to stop covering homes in high fire danger zones.

I think many people see the high fire danger zone disclosure and just hope that the state government will force insurance companies to keep covering their homes.

3. Knowing whether a home is "good" is actually a technically-skilled area and most people don't have the skill.

I know someone who lucked out because his wife was the daughter of a man whose whole family worked construction (including him), and she paid attention. When they went to buy their first home, he saw no issues with most of the properties, while she could see "Foundation's cracked here, that smell is untreated basement flooding... See back here where this retaining wall was built? Where do you figure the water goes after it hits that wall? That's a nice little creek behind this house; it's a shame you can see from the silt pattern that it's been walking south for awhile as that hill rolls down and will be under this house's foundation in five years."

The LyX editor for math is ridiculously competent. Even using plain LaTeX, LyX can be used just for the maths because it is so quick. I can't imagine the math for which LyX would be insufficient.

It doesn't render like tex in the editor, but it is logically correct.

LyX has a "tag" for plain tex, which allows you to insert any tex file into your document. That is a practical way of working with TikZ, for example.
