I'm not an economics or finance expert, so I may not have a very extensive view of this, but I think there is a meaning to the expression of providing value. If a product has more value to a person than the price of the product, assuming they have correct knowledge, that is the creation of value. In high frequency trading, or stock trading in general, people may be willing to pay more than the listed price, but I don't think value is created because this is generally due to incorrect knowledge. I think stocks are pretty much a zero sum game. If one person is making money, someone else is losing money.

As I mentioned, I'm not an economics or finance expert, so I'd be interested to hear what more experienced people would have to say.
I said if your nvme is reaching 80+ degrees then you should fix the airflow in the case. I did not say the case is 80 degrees. Any semi decent airflow is 100% capable of running an nvme without causing any performance issues.
You can trace log iptables and see first if the wireguard traffic is being blocked by some rule

`iptables -t raw -I PREROUTING -p udp --dport 51820 -j TRACE` (assuming default 51820 port) and look at dmesg or `journalctl -f`

If that is not being blocked then you can look at `iptables -t raw -I PREROUTING -s <vps' wireguard ip> -j TRACE` and try pinging or reaching a service on your home network and look at dmesg again.

Just don't forget to remove these rules again as they will continue to log.

Beyond that, I'm not sure.

I'm finally in love with my product!

We're a bootstrapped team of 4 four and we've been building our personal crm app for over a year. As the original founder and CEO, I've been waiting for this day for a loooong time!
I finally love my own app and use it on a daily basis (hopefully you will too).

We've already launched a long time ago but today we're launching a new feature: Note taking, straight from your inbox.

We email you before every meeting with all the notes you've taken about the person you're going to meet and you simply have to reply to the email to log a note! Making it the easiest way to build your database of notes about your contacts.

I know that there are tons of people who tried to build a personal CRM and that everyone has his opinion on how the "right" personal crm should work.

Personally, we've decided that:
- it should be fully automated (sync with calendar and email)
- super simple to use (no complex and clunky interface)
- it should be magic (our app tells you who you're losing touch with based on your data)

And you? What are you looking for in a personal crm?

Thoughts on Reading
Maybe the venn diagram of "people who create wild things and throw them out there" and "people who are legally cautious and circumspect" might show only minor overlap. It's sort of the opposite of creativity.
I will consider talking to my computer when my computer is the only one that would hear me.

I also never talk to my phone.
Ha! I didn't check that. Glad it works there. Sadly, Lynx waits until it has received the whole page.

I do not use smartphones. I do not remember the exact rationale of how it started. But, it generates a lot of free time for your life. Whenever people question it, I would reply, "Well, it is an experiment I am doing".

Based on how close the other one is you might get a confused nod to how-stupid-are-you as a reply.

The good thing about it is, by default, you do not get to fool around in your free time. The time is only free, if there is do not have other ways to pass it by.

P.S.: But, I am not claiming it is better. But, I find it convenient and quite a bit fun.
Normally I'd agree. But if you read the article the government already chose to settle this with Montrose Chemical Company. I think it's a very dangerous precedent to be able to go after corporations for things they've already reached a settlement on. I think it was dumb for the government to settle this and they should have waited for more information.
You say it’s “obvious” but it’s the opposite of my intuition. Can you explain the logic a bit more?

I think part of the issue is that we're pretty good at focusing and filtering. If we're trying, we can focus on a single voice when the room is noisy. The computer doesn't know which to choose and all voices seem equally important.
I guess that's relatively subjective, and depends on what you or I feel is draconian.

I might feel something is a little over-the-top, but you might feel it's just fine. You might feel something is a little over-the-top, but I might feel it's just fine.

So, I guess my only answer would be that you would have to read the articles and decide for yourself.

You may have a different tolerance for the techniques described than I do.

"In the eastern province of Jiangsu, quarantine turned to imprisonment after authorities used metal poles to barricade shut the door of a family recently returned from Wuhan."

"Authorities have used computerized systems that track ID cards — which must be used to take most long-distance transport and stay in hotels — to round up people from Wuhan."

For example, I find this to be a bit much. I do, however concede that it works. You may be perfectly fine with it.

I find the prison camps in Xinjiang to be a little draconian. Plenty of other people feel that it's a wonderful idea.
On what grounds do you think it would constitute fair use?

Fair use isn't some magic pixie dust that lets you do whatever you want with someone else's copyrighted material.

Fair use is a defense you can raise in court, _after_ you have been sued. It is not a presumptive right.
This is a tale as old as time. You get into something because you're passionate about it, and lo and behold doing it for work saps all the fun out.

Pick anything creative at all and this will hold true - the more expressive the more challenging it is to find the work not be draining as it competes with business requirements.

There's no real suggestion here other than simply recognizing that only a lucky few in life get to actually just do the fun part while also making a living at it - in fact I can only count on one hand people who I know are doing that.
> The outrage machine is fueled by advertising, right?

The purpose of purchaing advertising is to increase sales of the advertised product or service. How does the "outrage machine" lead to increased sales of the products or services being advertised? Do you think many people are actually buying products through advertisements posted in, say, Trump vs. AOC flamewars?

To be quite honest I also thought, once upon a time, that I could NEVER leave my proper 7 row X220t keyboard for the shitty new island keyboards in new thinkpads.

I now type happily on my X1 Yoga. It’s a very good keyboard, you get used to it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There are tradeoffs we all have to make, and I chose having new processors and things like USB-C over having a really good built in keyboard. I just settled for a good keyboard, not a really good one.
That's not a basis of R at all. If you want to create a basis of R you better choose irrational elements in your basis, otherwise the Q-span is contained in Q.

What I think you want to say is that "any real number has a binary expansion". Which is true, but the binary sequences don't form a vector space over R, but a Z/2-module. And as a Z/2-module, your { 2^i for integer i } isn't even a basis because you need infinite expansions to express most real numbers. The span of a basis are only the finite linear combinations.

(FWIW, I think you've given a description of the dyadic rationals.)
I had to laugh at one line.

PHP or Perl are called interpreted because the interpreter (installed on the destination machine) compiles each line of code as it goes.

Yeah, that hasn't been true of most "interpreted languages" in decades. The most common interpreted languages that I can think of where you parse as you go are shells like bash.

Languages like Perl and PHP are called interpreted because an interpreter runs the script. But the interpreter actually compiles the code first and then runs off of the compiled representation. Which is byte code - just like the JVM. If you put energy into it, you can use all the same techniques that the JVM does. As a practical example, both nodejs and pypy (a fast variant on Python) have a JIT. Julia regularly hits speeds for numerical calculations that is fully competitive with C++ and FORTRAN.
If I said Rust is rarely used in trading I'd be still overstating its adoption. There is approximately no Rust code in buy side finance. It exists in the sense that you could find something written in it somewhere, even it it's just an infra tool used by one of the software engineers. But I would be very surprised to hear of any trading firm that uses it in the hot path.
I have an IBM 3151 video terminal connected to mine, through a USB-to-serial adapter. I use it for Web browsing, reading text files, light code editing/trying ideas in REPL, ssh to my desktop, etc.

At first, I wanted to connect the terminal (on the upper floor) to my desktop (in the basement) by patching the server's RS-232 to the terminal through the in-wall Cat5e. Then I figured it'd be better to just throw FreeBSD on the Pi and connect the terminal to it, since I could ssh to the desktop with Ethernet instead, which is a more effective use of the two Cat5e runs, since I'd also be able to connect a VoIP phone next to the terminal.
Err, uh, where do you get the idea that Khan academy "has ushered more people into STEM than any single person"? Seriously. I don't even know how you would measure something that.
> Normally if you have stuff going on you won't waste your time being angry about a piece of media.

I'd wager that boredom and, more importantly, lack of purpose fuels most of the hate and insanity we see today on the internet. This impacts all genders equally and our society is going need to think real hard how we go about tackling a growing number of young people struggling with existential angst.
Buy a Vizio. Connect the ethernet port to a used router ($5 at a yard sale, $20 if you need to buy a new one). Don't connect the router to your house network. You're done.
Motorola Atrix comes to mind, or one of those. This was a thing back in 2011 or whenever that phone came out. You could dock your phone and use it as a laptop.
> Let's not beat around the bush. There is inherent sexism in our vocabulary.

Yes there absolutely is. That doesn’t mean we should knee jerk react to things without any actual understanding of them. Over time, words like mankind will be used less and less and become more anachronistic as our language evolves. But that is not the same as them being, in actuality, sexist and definitely doesn’t warrant sarcastic comments about there being no women on board due to the word being used.

> The word "man" did uniquely mean "human" in the old English (and the words wæpman and wifman meant male human and female human, respectively), but it doesn't anymore.

But they both do. “Wer” survives in werewolf and wif survives in Wife. Just because the originals did not survive, it doesn’t mean that all words derived from them didn’t as well. Mann did not survive, but it doesn't mean all words derived from it didn't as well.

I choose not to use words like mankind and manned in my writing and they already feel a bit anachronistic, but it just strikes me as petty to try and “call out” other people for using words that are perfectly acceptable.
I dearly wish I could have a Speech Recognition aspect to the 'creative' and CAD-like software I use - I think it would be fantastic to be able to do two or three operations 'at the same time' - eg. click an object with the mouse, hit ctrl on the keyboard to lock to some plain or angle, as I use the mouse to move, or whatever, whilst verbally instructing the software to 'zoom viewport out' or achieve whatever other function that is vaguely complicated or buried in the GUI somewhere.

Otherwise, I have absolutely no desire to 'talk' to my computer and have it understand me, unless that tech comes packaged with an empathic AI module so I can tell it off and repay it a small percentage of the emotional pain computers have inflicted upon me over the decades.
It's a fairly well accepted recommendation to not use a macro when a function will do[1]. Everything bad people say about macros applies equally to functions, the dial is just turned up a bit; they both abstract behaviors by hiding their implementations.

The advantages is that this reduces mental load when reading code; imagine if you had to parse a block of code and say "oh yeah, that's just a simple median of 3 quick sort" every time instead of just (sort ...). That would increase your mental load both when reading and writing.

On the other hand, when something goes wrong in sort (even if it's not a bug in sort itself, maybe some garbage was passed in), the fact that it's a function call actually increases the mental load when debugging. Good tooling that lets you print stack frames and such really improves things.

The same is true for macros, but things are worse in both directions since macros are more powerful. You can write better abstractions to decrease the mental load even more, but when things go wrong, more things can go wrong because macros are less constrained than functions.

Again, good tooling can go a long way to reducing the debugging pain. Stepwise macro expansion is a big win and being able to do it in-place is even better.

1: With the exception that lispers will use macros to prevent requiring explicit lambdas. For example, the WITH-FOO macros common in lisp can all be written using lambdas, and it would even be idiomatic to do so in many functional languages. From what I can tell this is originally because of the extra computational expenses of using lambdas, but persists because the syntax is more uniform with LET and friends
It doesn’t “mean nothing”, it’s another data point. If you see test positivity rate remaining low but cases increasing - which we do in many areas with sufficient testing - then it does suggest more people are getting the virus.

You can also corroborate this by comparing it to new hospitalizations, which are also up.

“Deaths is the only relevant measure” - not sure where to start with this except to say that this is not at all what epidemiologists seem to think and I won’t address it further without some very dramatic reasoning and evidence.
Not everyone wants to spend their life the same way, and that's fine.

There are good use cases apart from Dictation for Speech tech:

1. Voice based operations in factories, construction workers who want to have both the hands free but want to navigate via a device

2. Use cases while Driving. E.g. A Driver who is delivering goods.

3. Call centre - Analytics of audio calls etc. Can have many use cases

4. Voice assistant like Alexa, Siri. Mind that Alexa, Siri have vision to do more than just Music.

5. Any use case where visual interface is either not there or visual is not an easy option for user.

Speech tech is challenging when you have to deal with noise or want to do Speech to text on lw profile devices (on the edge).
> Many smart TVs will connect automatically to any open wifi signal.

Which? So we can avoid. I don’t buy TVs often; the 2019 LG OLED I have required me to set up WiFi. Which of course I didn’t do, but it wasn’t forced.

> Many modern televisions will stop working altogether of they go too long without phoning home.

Same question as above. Would be good to get a list going. Maybe a shared doc of TVs to avoid.
Individual extinctions and extinction events are usual considered as different things. The former is commonplace, the latter rare and results in massive shifts.
Are you suggesting it's required to "confess that you're a racist" in a Mao-style struggle session to work with people from diverse backgrounds?
Kind of. SBCL will flag type errors at compile time if it can find them, but there isn't any practical way (that I'm aware of) to force it to accept only code that has sufficient type annotations that it can be shown to be type correct at compile time.

Racket has typed racket, but then you are getting into pretty obscure territory. You might be able to have strict standards for your own code, but you'll still be plugging in to a dynamically typed ecosystem.
A Look Back at the Mad Cow Debacle
THEORY: Assuming 100% efficacy vaccine. In completely homogeneous population if people are randomly vaccinated the threshold where the diseases effective R drops below 1.0 is 1 - 1/R. For example if R = 3.0 you need to vaccinate 66% population until infections start to decline.

REALITY: Assuming 75-90% efficacy vaccine, vaccination is non-random and population is heterogeneous. You want to vaccinate everyone who agrees to take it. Just like with children diseases, there will be clusters of anti-vaxxers, or people just don't bother and they are often clumped together, travel around the world and spread the disease.
We have global lockdowns with dramatically reduced amounts of automobile usage. We should be seeing at least some reduction in temperatures.

Also kind of inaccurate title. 115,000 years ago during the eemian period the Earth was 2 celcius warmer than today. More than what the predictions of climate change.

50 million years ago the Earth was 14 celcius warmer.
> This was Justin Trudeau. That's how far behind Canada is.

Wow, ok. I assumed it was the father since the ADA was discussed in congress back in the 80's.

> Not sure what you mean by "killing the aerospace sector"

Well, he went from writing a check to Lockheed to writing a check to Boeing.

But I'm talking about the Bombardier CSeries. It failed to get mainstream media coverage. It reached production and had healthy sales numbers. It was Bombardier's second clean sheet design (after the Global) to reach market and had the potential to be stretched to seat counts comparable to smaller 737 and A319.

President Trump levied tariffs on it and that's what prompted a takeover by Airbus (for 1$!). What did the Trudeau government do meanwhile to protect it -and by extension Canada's aerospace sector? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. It's crazy how he basically bowed down immediately.

This is an escape, a cope: the issue is that you are working on things that you hate.

If you'd started to programm something that you like + would make you money you'd be back programming in no time rather than pivoting to otherstuff.

Eg most people go into game-dev because they want to make a game but then get stuck programming some shit backend interfacing system for ads and they have zero creative decisions. Obviously they will start to hate their job. But you cannot just stop programming if this is the case: you'd most likely still want to make your own game.
> The US's leaning on the Supreme Court to make social progress is really a result of its inability to make social progress in sane ways through legislatures.

The situation with slavery and segregation in the United States is unique (and unique legal mechanisms were created to combat the issues). But it's not clear to me that you can generalize from that to other social issues. On homosexuality, for example, the U.S. is between Western Europe and Eastern Europe, and similar to Italy in terms of acceptance. Absent the Supreme Court, many U.S. states would have same-sex marriage in similar time-frames to EU countries.
As to abortion, public opinion mirrors the actual laws in countries like France and Germany: support for making it legal up to 12 weeks, subject to things like waiting periods, with strong support for making it legal after that with only limited exceptions.

Sure, some U.S. states would be stragglers, but the same is true in the EU. Ireland didn't legalize abortion until just a couple of years ago. Switzerland and Poland still don't have same-sex marriage. How would the EU react to the European Court of Human Rights taking these decisions away from the state legislatures? Maybe that's what should happen, but this thread is about polarization. It would be polarizing as hell.

Does rust buy much for HFT?

I mean, if you leak memory or have a use after free issue, it's not the end of the world since this isn't exposed to untrusted input.

Though, I'm sure the language features like async/await and safe concurrency are probably appreciated.

Up until the Surface line, Microsoft never shipped any computers at all, much less "malware ridden" ones. I think that exactly illuminates how high of a mountain Microsoft would have needed to climb to earn people's trust when Microsoft is also in general mainstream mindsets saddled with the problems of other company's behaviors.

But if the point was to save the marketshare of Windows phone products via retail store presence, Microsoft didn't have time, they were racing a losing money clock and the shareholders were watching retail operations worried Microsoft was just "throwing good money after bad".
Very nice to see this expressed, thank you! This is a trap so many folks fall into when starting out with generative work IMHO. There's this kind of natural instinct to anthropomorphize the data -- where the assumption is that some platonic representation exists that can be expressed with "the right choices" or some neutral choice -- while little attention is paid to the impact of the choices themselves on the representation.

FWIW Andrea Polli nicely shines a light on this during her Sonic Antarctica album (on the track "A Model is a Cartoon") where she superimposes her own sonifications & field recordings with an interview exploring the limitations of modeling data in a scientific context... https://www.gruenrekorder.de/?page_id=342
