It was a lifesaver in university. I barely had the $60 I needed for a used Chromebook -- it gave easy access to all the online gradebooks and assignment postings, I had ready access to google docs and overleaf, the battery lasted all day even with 8+ hours of active use, with crouton I had a nearly complete Linux CLI (math major here, jupyter with sympy was extremely useful). As an added bonus it weighed in under 3lbs; due to unforeseen circumstances I was biking a fair ways to school each day, and after a textbook or two every extra pound mattered.

Was a Chromebook the only workable solution? No, of course not. Having _something_ was a huge advantage over hoping the library would be open some time you weren't in class or working (a tenuous proposition, especially near weekends or anything that might be misconstrued as a holiday), and in that price bracket there was no competition that came close to a Chromebook.
> Wayland is really slow

I have to wonder if this is distribution dependent? On Manjaro my experience with Wayland has been fantastic. I cannot perceive any speed differences vs X.org; Wayland just flies.

It would be interesting to poll users and see just what factors are contributing to speed issues. GPU? CPU? Distribution? Wlroots vs Gnome? etc. Learning more about what users experience could be helpful in making Wayland better. Has anyone done this?
All your stuff is already composited, and if done well it doesn't add much latency at all.
You're still paying it in X, just badly, and with none of the upsides (eg, no tearing). Even if you're trying to avoid a compositor, none of the UI toolkits are participating in that nonsense.
Perhaps performance plays a role; transforming documents is usually not a bottleneck (unless you are running some server farm).

Also transforming documents seems like a task well suited to functional languages.
I haven't thought about this too much, but, words are power.

Is identifying someone by a racial slur a civil-rights issue?

Obviously it's not a black-and-white issue, and is complex, but yeah, fundamentally calling someone something they don't want to be called (and I don't mean "your hair is blue / don't tell me my hair is blue") can be a civil rights issue.

Words define our selves. There's a reason jargon is such a big deal in the corporate world - words have power.

Consider this - if it wasn't a civil rights issue, would there be so much discomfort and/or backlash around it? Would it even be a big deal at all if it didn't matter?

Again, I'm not saying it's straightforward - it's not.

But a quick google search says civil rights are "the rights of citizens to political and social freedom and equality."

So that's pretty complex and broad in and of itself.
Great tool !
So they really think the infestation is small enough that it's feasible to find and destroy all the nests by hand?
To be fair, even though I am not, myself, a therapist, I have been dealing with them for decades.

It's not "vague, personal anecdotes." It's real world experience.

But you are right. This is upsetting, and seeing the way that it is being treated by people that I respect, otherwise, is upsetting.

This is the last I'll say anything.
What's striking is that we are now having about 6x the number of daily cases than during the first wave in France, the number of deaths is 5-6x lower.
You use federation. Federation means ppl can get banned, but there's no central authority for who gets banned - different instances have different ppl banned.

Then just pick an instance you like.
It's not a fair comparison. You're benchmarking GNOME, not Wayland, and making generalizations about Wayland based on GNOME benchmarks is a false equivalency.

Is GNOME on Wayland worse than GNOME on X11? Perhaps. Is Wayland worse than X11, based on that answer? No.
I'm just saying why assume a malicious actor is saying any truth about the circumstances of their malice?
This shows a very poor understanding of how doctors work. On difficult cases doctors often need to consult with others, sharing information about the case. Furthermore, in pysch. multiple followups are required. If this is all solely done on paper the logistics become more complex and error prone.
So does the US? Should everyone be sanctioning us?
I agree with a caveat: walking posture. If walking feels tiring or
unpleasant it’s likely that one doesn’t have a good walking posture. I’ve been walking wrong a big chunk of my life until I re-learned the right way, in my 40s! It’s wonderful to walk now and don’t get tired and achy like i used to. Bad habits get so ingrained in us that it becomes extremely tricky to correct them but it is very possible to fix these and the reward very high, I have a better posture, more energy and am better in a shape than when i was younger and any back issues i had nearly vanished.
btw, on a tangential note, in this episode of Python, OCaml, timestamp seems to be off.
How do you know [any product you use] won't get bought by Facebook, resulting in users having to have Facebook accounts to use it? This is a risk we take in today's world. I could imagine a near future reality where I buy a monitor and then find I need to have a Facebook account in order for it to turn on, or a car that won't drive without logging in to Facebook. Or a refrigerator. Ten years ago these would seem totally ridiculous. Today, they are still silly but oddly believable.
It seems so. India didn't get quite as much coverage as it is getting now for some reason. And strangely enough, India is being mentioned in the news more often than before for the same things it had been doing before ( on a greater extent now though but the nature of those activities is pretty much the same ).
I've never had to deal with a murder hornet infestation, but I can approve of their 'vacuum' method for clearing yellowjacket nests in high-traffic areas.

Partially fill a shop vac with soapy water, stick the nozzle as close to the nest entrance as possible, then turn on the vacuum and hear the wasps get sucked into the machine as they try to enter or exit the nest. It takes a few hours, and potentially a couple of separate sessions to mop up any stragglers.

No fancy beekeeper suit necessary, and, best of all, no need to spread nasty poisons.
> useful in predicting school success, which was the original goal

Wrong. The original goal of IQ testing was to predict which students needed special care. It is still very useful (albeit expensive) metric for that.

I just mentioned wealth here just to demonstrate that just because something correlates and predicts something, it doesn’t make it interesting. We know how wealth is inherited, and how people of wealth are privileged and generally more successful (at least if we measure success the same way as IQ proponents do). We know the mechanics of how wealth works and we know it is more societal then psychological. I took wealth as an example here just to weather the possibility the IQ is correlated and has this predictive power because of similar mechanics, i.e. not descriptive of psychology, but society.
Medical history has to be only meaningful between doctor and patient. Doctor can keep records under a unique ID which patient is given at the start of sessions and the patient presents it at each session to validate the relationship. In the event of a breach, even when all data is exposed, without tracking the unique ID back to a person (which would be difficult or impossible) the harm is little..
(Imagine reading a story of a person but you don't know who that person is..)

You might say that there would be other person names and places in mentioned in the records and from that network and timeline you may be able to deduce the identity.. but these PII can in turn be depersonalised. And also this is not scalable for widespread damage.

It just need a bit of thinking when designing a system. Frankly any org that ask for PII and doesn't have a well thought out way to store them should be heavily penalised.

That's what the law should do standardised methods of storing sensitive data.
Does anyone know the status of Freesync / VRR on Gnome-Wayland?

Last time I investigated this, I went down a rabbit hole that made me vow to buy a Playstation.
>Blocking Iranian IPs, as opposed to accounts, is almost certainly over-compliance.

Very easy to set a geo blocker or conditional access policy and have full compliance. Exempting unique IP addresses becomes annoying, but if needed possible.

It also cuts down on the other side of the house of security related incidents, which, if your company offers a product interested by people in that state, or, has news that can be taken in a dim light, prevents ddos and other annoying things.

Not perfect, but one reason why there's 'over compliance'.

> It does not speak well of the United States justice system if someone could be prosecuted for failure to block Iranian IPs. If this were required, the law should be clear. Otherwise, the US citizens deserve not to be in fear of prosecution.

Cheap insurance, especially if you have no intentions of doing business from there.
Better to be optimistic and try than to surrender to the hornets immediately.
And I have close, personal, and intimate relationships with mental illness and its medication myself and if you do know so much as you claim you would know that many (as in likely most) physicians today think the future will see our current medications on par with lobotomies. Anti-psychotic medicine especially is seen as chemical lobotomies. On top of that when 1/3 of the US population is on antidepressants these medications clearly doesn't work either.

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/out-the-darkness/201...

You might have "skin in the game" but then it is depressing you do not know that almost all mentally ill people would in the long run be healthier without these pills. They mostly only work short-term and absolutely destroy ones health long term. You should be advocating for people to get short-term medically help and long term medicine-free therapeutic help if you really care.
I'm in my 40s and have never (and will never) own a car. So I chose to live within reasonable walking distance of places I need to go. I walk everywhere, and carry groceries in a backpack. I do these things without even thinking about it. I'm the same weight I was when I was 19. I wear the same size clothes. I don't bother with gym membership. The way I see it, it's just a different way to live. Kinda like when people say "I'm not gonna have kids because that's not what my life is gonna be about".

Now, this is only possible in a city that was built (at least) hundreds of years before cars. Having visited the US I can honestly say that some cities (not the ones like New York) are designed completely around the car. Trying to walk everywhere in a city like that is futile and you'll just hate life and everyone around you.
Maybe the ACLU really does believe it is a civil right.
> Renewables won't cut it and we don't have a whole lot of time left for people to figure that out.

If we don't have lot of time left, than we don't need to waste money on nuclear.
Taleb's article doesn't mention the data used, as far as I can see.
So... Most games ignore modern hardware capabilities in order to support a fragile programming model? That doesn't sound like an argument against my point. My point was that mutation makes it harder to get code correct. If the only way you can do it is by refusing to use more than one thread of execution for calculating game state updates, that's not evidence that there's no problem with that approach.

Of course, this does vary heavily by game. There certainly are games that run their world simulation across multiple threads. https://twitter.com/axelgneiting/status/1241487918046347264 is a pretty awesome note about that in the Doom Eternal engine, for instance. But I'm certain getting that to work required very carefully controlling when and how mutation happens.
Apple doesn’t use sms 2fa, more to the point any message you get from someone not in your contact list gets red text added to the bottom saying “Apple will never ask you for any information over messages”

The Apple 2fa model is built around trusted devices - essentially turning each trusted device into a yubikey style hardware 2fa dongle.

Verification prompts also include gps level “this is where the request is coming from”. So the attacker needs to know your exact location when they’re going after you.

> trapping and using dental floss to tie tracking devices to the hornets

What? That seems crazy (and cool) to be able to create a tracking device light enough for a hornet to fly and still have enough battery to transmit even a periodic chirp.
You are welcome to do so if you have the time. To be honest though, I'm not sure what that would achieve. I don't think that these kinds of claims can be seriously supported by a discussion in the format of an online message board, no matter how many links and datasets we throw at each other.
Even if they never eradicate them entirely, destroying their hives whenever they're found can keep them in check.
When it comes to the template - it totally looks like Distill for R Markdown (https://rstudio.github.io/distill/).
In the last couple of decades we've dissociated autism from schizophrenia, declared homosexuality and being trans no longer a mental illness, and uncovered therapeutic techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy which has real, measured, repeat-study impact in lowering people's risk of suicide.

Sure, send the patient data over an unencrypted phone line, probably using a never-updated smart scanner to an internet-connected IoT-printer. Sounds like a plan!
Don't use Zoom, and better-yet, ditch proprietary software altogether! Instead, use Signal (which has incredible voice/audio quality) or Jitsi (https://meet.jit.si/).

Those 1.3 million places from ~130 other sources, the website says that they are "often" with an open license. Would that be compatible with OpenStreetMap? Because then we could make OSM be a more complete map of the planet. Are you aware of any project that can show which places (from those other open sources) are not yet tagged on OSM?

Edit: to clarify, I'm not proposing an import (which is usually a hassle), but just a comparison to explore how many places are in open data but currently not in OSM.
I'm an engineer and if I present any model with an R2 of 0.35 it would be flat out rejected because it would be worse than random chance and they won't use the model to make decisions.

Assuming the R2 here is indeed correct how do you use this to make real life hiring or admission decisions ? Just weight it at 35% ? What do you do for the other 65% then ?

They did not figure it out, the fact that IQ tests as we know today could predict performance in a wide array of tasks was basically an observation coming out of the data.

Many other types of tests were tried for this, because being able to predict people's performances has extremely important implications, but the ones that did not predict anything were forgotten, while the ones that worked, like the current generation of IQ tests, became widely accepted (despite being attacked every now and then by a few researches, as in this case - which is a good thing as we need to make sure our current theories are as good as they can be).
And indeed, I can't think of anything in particular that'd be stopping someone from putting git repos on e.g. IPFS.
There's a third party involved here, the payer. The payer (according to tfa mainly Finnish Social Security (Kela) here) needs to know what they are paying for and on who's behalf. You can't just conduct medical treatment pseudo-anonymously like that.

That's ignoring the fact almost nobody will accept having to keep track of an "alphanumeric ID" to get treatment.

I agree, but the comment I was responding to was operating under the assumption that the claim was true and was making a different point than merely "don't accept things hackers say at face value".

Probably because the OC had already hedged:

For just git, sure.

For a web application to present it (eg Gitea, GitLab, etc), then the lower latency would be helpful. ;)

At this point we're super early in the spread, and as far as what I read they think this may be the only one in the US.

Worth noting that one nest can create hundreds of new queens that will hibernate the winter and establish a nest in the spring. Not all will survive, but with minimal competition, and significant feeding opportunities from a mostly untapped ecosystem, many will. Destroying one nest to stop exponential growth is a great investment, especially early on.

Note: I'm not an expert in this area, I'm mostly parroting stuff I read in other articles.
I think the history of physics does not support this view. New theories that explain a wider range of phenomena tend to be harder to understand than their predecessors that explain a narrower range of observations. For example, Newtonian mechanics is simpler than relativistic mechanics which is simpler than quantum field theories.

Also, I see nothing that would make fundamental aspects of nature comprehensible for humans. Our cognition evolved to handle classical mechanics without the relativistic or quantum effects that we find bizarre and indeed classical mechanics is roughly where average person's understanding of nature ends.

An alternative view is that there is a survivorship bias at play: we tend to understand the things about the universe that are simple enough for a human mind and remain oblivious to the ones that are too complicated for it.
> With these patches applied, the kernel can optionally (under administrator control) create a separate kernel thread for each NAPI-enabled network interface. After that, NAPI polling will be done in the context of that thread, rather than in a software interrupt.

Nice enhancement. Can’t wait to play with it.
For OSM-only data you could set up wheelchair routing with two commands (via GraphHopper) for the region of your choice:

https://github.com/graphhopper/graphhopper#installation

In the config you specify

graph.flag_encoders: wheelchair

and enable elevation:

graph.elevation.provider: srtm

It then considers elevation and many restrictions already but it is probably not as fine tuned as it should be. We would be happy to accept improvements.
> Yeah - I have no clue why you're being downvoted.

I didn't downvote but it's because parents comment are anecdotal and not providing further data one might be able to engage/confirm/refute ... and therefore I learned nothing from reading it.

I'm also running a dual setup of i3/sway and the only reason why I still keep i3 around is screen-sharing in jitsi and similar. and my experience is that wayland has a lower use of CPU/memory than when running X (i3) but it's not why I prefer sway. (I'm using sway with "xwayland disable" so maybe this is where a lot of resources are saved). But the whole discussion is pointless without verifiable benchmarks.
That seems to me still too conservative. What about Transferwise, which actually offer easy and cheap cross-border, multi-currency transfers right now?

We've tried virtual "happy hours" and using a tool called Bagel to automate scheduling virtual "coffee breaks" between people and it's not really that great. If anything, it seems like more of an intrusion into my time or nuisance when I'm trying to finish work for the day.

We have also tried team "catch-ups" where our team gets on a call and tries to talk about non work things, but there's always one employee who's a bit too political that just derails the whole thing into political nonsense (I don't really identify with either party but to be transparent these are left leaning co-workers who feel it's necessary to complain about trump or how evil his supporters are).

Quite frankly, as someone who used to like being in an office, I'm starting to adapt to remote work and prefer it because I don't have to deal with social BS during the work day.
I have far more issues with my OSX laptop than having to run a script once every few months (presumably that script is called automatically)

I've just had another popup from OSX wanting a password for google, sophos pops up saying it's upset a fair bit, on occasion the entire machine just hangs, and wireguard doesn't set my search domain. There are other niggles but those are the ones that have affected me in the last 30 minutes.

On the other hand the biggest hassle from my desktop is ssh connections time out if I suspend the machine overnight.

If Mozilla silently enabled DOH-via-CloudFlare for you, it would show up here right?
