Sit stand has been a game changer for me. I love being able to switch it up when one or the other gets tiresome.

Yes, when the body is in a caloric deficit in enters a catabolic state where it will consume existing tissue, i.e. fat and muscle, for energy. For me it was definitely noticeable after just 3 days of not eating. Exercising might reduce the loss of muscle mass to some extent, but most people will still lose some or a lot.
You elided the "necessarily".

One can rationally argue either way over the speculative proposition that reinforcement learning will yield AI in less than a few million years, but that it took evolution half a billion years is hardly conclusive, and certainly not grounds for stopping work.

>In France right now the topic is extremely controversial due to recent events

For those not aware last week a teacher was decapitated :
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/21/world/europe/france-teach...

>Social networks which are blamed openly by the public opinion for their amplifying effect.

What are your source for public opinion here? Yes, mainstream media are bold on the social networks. The same mainstream media which are all owned by the wealthiest people of the country and still abundantly financed by the State to survive.

Mainstream media message is not "the public opinion", which is understandably diverse.

Actually, you don’t have to dig much into what penetrate even in the mainstream media to see opinions going from "well, if our proposal to harden the political system as we wish is unconstitutional, we just have to edit the constitution first" to "the same incompetent political class that led our country to the current wave of terrorism is now willing to burn the few remaining public liberty we can enjoy".

The question is not whether a topic is controversial or not. I can make a controversy on the color of your socket – or on endianness[1]. The question is whether we can treat a subject properly.

> Why is this getting downvoted? He's right. Refute his points instead of downvoting him.

>> I think the only reason people enjoy it is the fact that they have not gotten a chance to really spend time in a good tiling window manager on X11/GNU/Linux

I don't like Windows, but its UI is not that bad, come on.

Moreover, I use GNU/Linux full time but I don't use a tiling manager. My windows are fullscreen most of the time, and the rest of the time the features that allow putting windows on the corners or the sides (with the keyboard or the mouse) are more than enough. Tiling window managers are not for everyone.

I didn't downvote but to me the message shows a lack of observation on how people use computers.

The update manager that popups a notification or a dialog box or reboots in the middle of a presentation or a movie or something and, to add insult to injury, the system taking its time to apply the updates during the next startup? that could be embarrassing.

Convenient UX features from the Linux world lacking on Windows are a thing (selection / middle click paste?), but Windows UI seems excellent. It's just less excellent than Plasma obviously, but it's nothing short of bad or embarrasing.
I attempted to switch to a FreeBSD desktop, the first thing I noticed was that Redshift didn't work at all for changing colour temperature.

>I like free software and open source because of freedom.

The MIT license is less free than GPL in the sense that as a user of MIT software I don't get to see the source, modify, and distribute it, whereas with the GPL I can.

The MIT license is more free in the sense that as a developer I don't have to give those freedoms to my users.

It's perfectly fine to prefer developer freedoms over user freedoms, but be aware of both of them.
I use Zen and when there was a cable cut between the cabinet and my house recently, between them and OpenReach we were back online the next day.

The difference is that if you get mugged, your physical safety is being threated. So giving your money to the mugger is reasonably considered defense against bodily harm. I believe that in most randomware cases, nobody's physical safety is in immediate danger (except cases that involve hospital systems or other remote-controlled/networked medical device).

I'd say there should be an exception for ransomeware cases where physical safety is being threatened.
Isn't understanding god's rules for it's followers part of theology?

For example, in Catholicism, the Church is supposed to have some level of divinity carried over from Christ. That would make the central authority of the church part of how they understand god, or their theology, so lacking those things would become part of Protestant theology.
You can run NLB in ip mode instead of instance mode and I don’t think it will have this issue. In ip mode your server sees the IP address of the NLB instead of the client.
Yeah, I didn't have my throat sedated, that might have helped. I was able to go on with my day shortly after the procedure as well but the 5-10 minutes it lasted wasn't the most pleasant for sure.
> I think if paying the ransom was made more explicitly illegal, the ransomware operators would probably converge on not outing their clients. At least for now.

Or they can threaten to release your information and demand more ransom to keep your information a secret. If you stop paying they'll make it public making what you did illegal.
You are missing the point entirely, but that's fine, I don't have the time right now to debate this to the point where you will understand. But unless you have used a microkernel based OS with a desktop interface (and chances are that you haven't) it is probably better to try to find access to something like that first (say an older single disk QnX installation) and play around with it for a bit to understand what I'm getting at.

Yes, there are plenty of problems in user space. But those are not the root cause and without addressing the root cause you will not be able to solve the problem even if you don't have bloated software.

On the issue of NATs and to extend this to GCP, we had an issue where the NAT was just dropping SYN packets. Clients would then eventually timeout, but connection pools eventually became fully drained. We had to look at tcpdump on the clients to see what was going on. It was 'solved' by giving machines that made external calls their own External IP. I don't know if it's still an issue.

It's fun to estimate how hot the exhaust of a torch ship must be, and how much mass should it expend on constant 1G sustained for days.

Rockets exchange impulse with the exhaust at a linear rate (mv), but put the kinetic energy into it at a quadratic rate (mv²/2), so increasing mass efficiency by increasing exhaust speed / temperature costs more and more. Realistic with fusion reactors, to the extent to which compact fusion reactors themselves are realistic. Or even with fission reactors, in the form of bombs (see project Orion).

Nothing like the current simple, low-tech chemical rockets.

This document just graduated to the full WG[0][1]. So this isn't a full fledged, ready to implement, draft.

I've been doing some research on this for an upcoming presentation and it seems this was a union of the design ideas of two draft documents TxAuth and OAuth.xyz, which means there's a few issues that need to be resolved. I'm sure they'd welcome respectful feedback.

From the WG's charter[2], they are looking for feedback and comments and expect last call for the core protocol in July 2021.

It's still very much a work in progress. I counted the TBDs and "Editor's notes" and found an average of one of these "TODO" markers per page of the draft.

I'm excited about the more modern developer ergonomics (using JSON is a step up from using form params), the ability for an RC to request user info at the same time (folding in some of OIDC), and fact they've explicitly built interaction extensions into the model. OAuth2 often assumes a browser with redirect capabilities and there are some inelegant solutions that arise from that[3]. Still a lot of things to iron out, for sure, though.

That said, I think OAuth2 will still be common 3 years from now, and if OAuth2 satisfies your needs, you aren't forced to move on to this new, explicitly not backward compatible[4], auth protocol.

After having yet another "gaming" mouse fail with the "double-click" problem I did some research which led to this in-depth video.

Essentially it's failed engineering and companies not wanting to spend even tiny amounts of money to fix the problems. Low-quality switches, out-of-spec electrical design, poor physical design (too much lateral movement in the buttons) and newer processors combine to produce mice that are guaranteed to fail.
"Diodos" means "through-way" (and that's where "diode" comes from), so it's not really wrong in the context. Might still be a typo, though.
`Now consider the following: there is nothing particularly strong in Islam’s holy text against drinking alcohol, just a rather vague recommendation of avoidance of intoxication while facing the creator.`

This is a constant misunderstanding of what constitutes Islamic theology. Islamic teaching are made up of the Quran and Sunnah, the Holy text and ways and teachings of the Prophet Muhammed respectively; there is a whole science of hadith that form accept elements of the latter. This is the approach of the majority of Muslim communities.

There is an a sect of Islam that only followed the Quran but it has traditionally not been as widespread.

> Out of curiosity, how is paying randomware all that much different from handing a mugger your money?

The difference is obvious: not handing the mugger your money is an immediate threat on your life. You won't die just because you didn't pay a ransomware operator.

> And is it also illegal to pay kidnappers?

The article already answered that: in some countries, it already is. "[...] In response to a wave of kidnappings by organized crime, Italy prohibited ransom payments in 1991. Colombia and Switzerland have also made ransom payments illegal. The Group of Seven has a long-standing policy of refusing to pay ransoms for hostages of terrorist groups."

Why would Google continue to provide free emails if this has no benefits for it? Even if it continues because it has already paid most of the cost and the small marketing benefit will be worth the maintenance, it will not develop the product further. This also sends a signal to all the economy that success will be punished, creating distorted incentives and huge deadweights. The reality that you advocate is very much giving the elites what they want, with little innovation and choice power for ordinary people.

> otherwise provide some alternative service that can provide email addresses for cost plus a small profit margin.

As I said, for email specifically, because we already have the necessary interop, there are solutions such as hey.com. What more do you want?

PS: It's much more efficient for your government to just subsidize open-source solutions based on their usage levels.

I was extremely happy with Zen, so happy I upgraded from 76 to 330 Mb in June. Which requires a G.Fast modem and having to deal with OpenReach.

Since upgrading I've been having a couple 30-seconds long disconnections every day. Zen delegates any responsibility to OpenReach, and the latter has sent an engineer [1] which hasn't found anything wrong _on my end_ (of course), so I have to pay them 165+VAT for the call. And the disconnections are still there.

It's perhaps not Zen's fault, but I went to the most stable Internet I've ever had to one that disconnects randomly, while being 200m away from the cabinet and no-one can tell me where the problem is. Fun.

1: the engineer actually did a thorough job to make sure my line was OK, so the problem is elsewhere.
