To be precise, he says "there might be as many as three revolutionary nobel-quality ideas". And yes, their family indeed have a lot of brainpower, so I don't even see it as such a big exaggeration or boasting.

TBH all I see in this twitter account and the podcast is just crapping on people by nitpicking innocuous and respectful phrases or claims and trying to make them look like a proof of some grave moral fault. I don't really want to engate with this sort of content anymore, especially via my poor keyboard, sorry. And as another user wrote in the comment - why listen to this second hand stuff - just open The Portal or The Dark Horse podcasts and listen to the Weinsteins (and Heather) themselves - I GUARANTEE you, you'll learn much more than from those twitter accounts, especially if you have different opinions. On evolution, economics, physics, governance, and much much more.

But I'm still open to having a chat over voice/video, given how different our sources (and I guess opinions too) are we can have an interesting enriching conversation if we manage to have a respectfull constructive disagreement. Timezone-wise I'm in Europe.
If you already have a website, maybe just make it a page there? No need to make a whole "Blog" section with this as the first entry.

If it has anything to do with code, maybe a GitHub Gist?

If someone really cared about hacking you, and one of those websites has a clear text password dump (which happens all the time), you are in serious trouble.

It would be a spectacular failure of logic to evaluate someones record on war based on a flippant comment (which you misrepresented) as opposed to, oh I don’t know, maybe if they started any wars. Considering that he is the first president in at least a century to not engage in any new wars, I think that might be a better signal.
I guess what a lot of us are struggling with is how anyone cannot see these truths for themselves in Trump. I don't need to listen to anyone but Trump himself to realize he lies constantly and has only a rudimentary grasp of how government and society functions. His history in popular culture speaks for itself. So what is going on with the 70 million people who can't see that plainly? The only conclusion we can reach is "he says the quiet part out loud" and that resonates with a lot of people. "They are sending us murders and rapists" was an early example that has stuck with me. Perhaps it is not a charitable view but nearly every office holding member of the GOP lined up to lick his boots after he said thousands of things like that.

As near as I can tell, Conservatism is deader than disco.
Thanks.

If you're okay with a non-node/js solution, use https://github.com/kornelski/cavif-rs - it does the job for me pretty well.

For node it looks surprisingly disappointing right now, the only real candidates being the packages @saschazar/wasm-avif (v1.0.0) and avif (v0.0.1-alpha2) — I'll probably never understand the ecosystem and community, the format is out for some time and fully supported in the most widely used browser, yet barely noticeable support in the JS world.

> I’m just shocked at how many people today have grown into learned helplessness and think that the system is so bad and irreparable that they need to vandalize and protest in cities for months.

It's quite right to be shocked so many people protested, because it's a strong signal that there's something drastically wrong with the system; something that nobody has any problem understanding and accepting when protests occur in other countries.

If you have one video to edit I agree. As soon as you are talking batch processing, having this massively powerful, free, self-contained executable that is compatible with pretty much any video format on earth is a god bless.

I usually only use a handful of features repeatedly, so I tend to creat some UI for myself to generate the commands. For instance for editing movies I download, removing audio streams I don’t want, adding subtitles, changing defaults, overwriting metadata (title, etc).

But dealing with all features would be a challenge. Handbrake is one attempt I can think of, but it is still kind of specialised.
You are probably better than me then at this stuff but a second pair of eyes can be useful.

I think that the OP's major point is that Trump was a symptom of the problems in US society, not a cause.

He did say a lot of the quiet parts loud, which makes some oppponents regard him as uniquely bad.

Has everyone forgotten that the Bush administration used similar magical thinking and logic:

> The aide said that guys like me were 'in what we call the reality-based community,' which he defined as people who 'believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.' [...] 'That's not the way the world really works anymore,' he continued. 'We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors...and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do'.[2]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality-based_community

I think the real problem here is that the extremes of US politics (mostly the right) have been spreading lies and garbage to their base for years, and eventually, they got a President who believed the nonsense.
Babies have drastically different skulls, but there are infants who snore. My understanding is that this is increasingly common (if you ask doctors), and it's caused by the same anatomical problems that cause sleep apnea in adults.

People used to think snoring is benign, but others will say that infants should never snore.

The common adenoids surgery in children is also due to a small airway, although people will tell you it's because they have "large adenoids"!

Your second sentence doesn't follow. Babies exhibit fewer of these problems, but that doesn't mean that evolutionary changes and agriculture aren't the cause of the problem in adults. Babies don't have developed jaws, and one of the main points is that jaw development isn't primarily genetic; it's shaped by the "environment" of the jaw, which is essentially the diet.

If braces can shape the jaw, then so can 10 years of eating soft foods, industrial cooking, etc.

> Under a newly approved law, any company whose top executive earns 100 times more than its average worker will pay an extra 0.1% surcharge on its annual business-tax payment.

This is a great way to incentivize CEOs to fire their lowest paid workers, outsource parts of the business that involve low-skilled labor.
I've wished more than once that I'd started by selling a one-off course instead of an endless subscription of screencasts.
I'm sorry but it would be most correct that one side refuses to go below a certain value and thats the value they've decided is worth it. And you know which side it is.
This problem is solved with WunderGraph. We save all queries as stored procedures when you deploy your app. We disallow arbitrary queries in production so you can test and optimize all stored queries before deploying. This gives you the flexibility of GraphQL with predicable performance and security as if it were a REST API.
Yes, it makes the screen eerily blank and uninviting. Maybe I can grey them out or something
Very cool! Some simple feature ideas:

It'd be interesting to be able to use size or color to indicate additional dimension(s). I like to measure “return” in terms of impact/urgency and “investment” in terms of cost/complexity, and then maximize “ROI” instead of just maximizing “return”.

The ability to sequence things seems to be the biggest thing you lose with the no-list representation, but I think that's easy to fix: let the user add “edges” between “nodes” to indicate dependencies.
Also NPCI introduced an absurd new rule that will help new entrants gain market share at the expense of established apps. Smells like Mukesh Ambani's handiwork to help FB.

This is what often happens in politics. There are a small subset of extremist on either side, and when people argue, they're pointing out the worst things the other side's extremists did. Calling each other KKK and Antifa and racist and SJW. Realistically, between those two extremes, the majority of people are good well meaning people who just don't know what the truth is anymore due to all the lies and disinformation on the web. All the clickbait shoving the most rage inducing stories about the other side all day long.
While I agree with you on most of those points, abandoning allies of convenience when they are no-longer useful has a long history in US foreign policy, and the Kurds should really have known this might happen given that they were abandoned by Bush 1 in 1991: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1991_uprisings_in_Iraq

So, the end result of that paper is a password-quality-meter like zxcvbn (or presumably better)?

But it looks like there was a commercial offering. You say it yourself that you could find a solution on amazon. Or I’m missunderstand what the quotes around ‘commercial’ mean?
Without knowing much Perl, I guess that $_ is the current line, and $. the number of lines read.

This will pick the first input line with a 100% chance, overwrite it with the second line with a 50% chance, then overwrite it with the third line with a 33% chance, etc. Proving that this really gives all lines the same chance of ending up in $l sounds like a fun math exercise.

Anecdotal evidence, but in my school the afternoon shift was associated with more "problematic" behaviour, both boys and girls. More rough and tumble play, that is the technical term I think, more abuse and fighting. Might have something to do with all those mornings without parental supervision.

Each deal can be criticized and certainly worth exploration, but the overall trend is, at least in my opinion, quite clear. Comparing Trump's record on international conflict to any president in my lifetime makes him look like a saint. And all of the criticisms levied at him (in my opinion) pale in comparison to stopping the literal mass-murder in the middle east. If the US reverses course on vying for peace, and instead picks up the big stick approach, it will make it clear what the policy of established politicians really is. If that happens I hope America has the conscience to remove them all.

> Although Trump has talked of withdrawing completely from Iraq, Pentagon officials have cautioned that a U.S. troop presence remains necessary to guard against an IS resurgence and to help the Iraqi government limit the political and military influence of Iran, which supports militias operating inside Iraq.

“Only a Woman If You Have Breasts? That's Nonsense”
> anyone on the right is a lunatic

In my country where there isn't a two party only system, but a plethora of positions ranging from the most extreme to the most moderate, for decades the left Vs right battle created a gradient of opinions

There are lunatics on the left and on the right, sometimes they have been violent, sometimes they put our democracy at risk, but in the end both left and right rejected them

We had our momentary lapse of reason when we (not me, but still...) elected Berlusconi, it seemed we lost our mind (we probably did) and nothing worse could ever happen to any other country politically speaking

Trump is on a new level of tribalism, divide and polarization though

How a real lunatic, with evident sever mental health issues ended up at the white house is gonna be a big black spot on American history (the greatest democracy in the World, the greatest country in the world, etc. etc.)

I don't have a website. Well, at least not one for which it would make sense to add this specific post to.

C already has a replacement, and that replacement is, manifestly, C++.

Essentially all of the most demanding, highest paid system development is done in C++. The number of C++ programmers, judging from attendance at rapidly proliferating C++ conferences and seminars, including even ISO 14882 SC22/WG21 C++ Language, is growing faster than ever. Attendance at each WG21 meeting in the last several years has exceeded that of all previous meetings.

By all means, learn niche languages. They bend your brain and make you a better programmer. Just don't imagine there will be a job waiting for you, using it. And, any code you write in it at work will probably be abandoned when you leave, as it will be too hard to hire a competent replacement who can maintain it.

This means that the niche languages to learn are the ones that really do bend your brain. Rust, OCaml, F# are probably worth exploring. Zig, by that measure, probably isn't.

The natural fate of almost any language is to die. Only a few get the miracle it takes to survive, as did (only) COBOL, Fortran, C, C++, Python, Java, and Javascript. There was a time when Pascal and Ada looked like they would survive, but the needed miracles did not arrive.

There is no excuse for writing a new program in C, or, for a program that should be maintained over years, any niche language. There is no reasonable expectation that a language will still be known, over the life of the program..

It is just barely possible Rust and/or Go will survive. If they do, over the years they will get radically more complex.
Funny but the stereotype is the opposite from the 60s. As the saying goes

If You Are Not a Liberal at 25, You Have No Heart. If You Are Not a Conservative at 35 You Have No Brain

https://quoteinvestigator.com/2014/02/24/heart-head/

Note: I'm not conservative and I don't necessarily agree with the quote. The point is not that the quote is correct, the point is someone (not me) thought it was the unthinking young person that thought alone liberal lines and the experienced wise person that thought along conservative lines.

Again, not agreeing, just pointing out some feel the opposite, that more experience and exposure to the world leads to more conservative thinking for some people.
You can avoid this problem by using Etags, stale while revalidate pattern as well as prefetching. This keeps the architecture simple without any major drawbacks.
> It's so heinous to them they use oral rape metaphor to describe it: you liberals jammed gay marriage down our throats.

This is such a ridiculous spin on “jammed down our throats” that none of them would have even considered that as a possible interpretation until you said it. Gay marriage is definitely not an issue that is top of mind for many Trump supporters.
When it comes to security software, that doesn't work. There are so many ways to get things wrong, it's better to just use a well maintained existing library.

Logically wouldn't it be equivalent to say the other side refuses to go above a certain value?
I absolutely agree this is an issue, but I honestly think it even transcends social media algorithms. Well, for one thing, the news media is just as much to blame, pushing clickbait and stories that induce the most rage. The next step is, regardless of social media sites, people tend to share said stories far more, so it's a vicious circle. I think any large connected social media site, regardless of the algorithms, will lead to a similar result.
In India and I have WhatsApp Payment enabled for more than a year (if I remember it right). I guess I was one of their early beta tester.

While it is convenient to send money to another person using WhatsApp but I have used it only few times in more than a year or so having it, even though on an avg' I do atleast couple of transactions a day.

One of the big reason for me to use it so less is perhaps because among my contacts and with whom I have need to exchange money were not part of beta program, BUT STILL I think P2P transactions are overrated as a focus area.

Most of my transaction happens due to ecommerce (food delivery, online shopping and others such), offline buys (ex. grocery store payment using shopkeeper's QR Code), transactions using bank app (Ex. for big ticket items like monthly rents, regular payments like electricity, credit card bills), and things like quick bank balance check which is super convenient using Payment Apps like GooglePay and others.

WhatsApp payment experience is very bare bones, it just focuses on casual transactions among ones contacts - not on deep and broad payment experience in different domains as one encounters in real life.

Famous last words perhaps: WhatsApp payment feature would be yet another payment mechanism in an already crowded space, it would not make much difference to us user's life, UNLESS they focus on payment space very deeply and bring merchants, online commerce etc. into picture.
There is currently a new law regarding this. RBI has mandated that Wallets without balance for 12 Months would be deactivated.
If you're seeing retransmission errors on a wired lan, then you should replace cables and any network equipment until they go away.

A basic assumption of TCP is that retransmission only happens due to congestion. It fundamentally assumes a perfect channel, which is why wireless connectivity doesn't play well with it. There have been many attempts to fix this but they require changes in both the AP and the client, so I don't think anyone has really bothered to implement in common hardware yet.

Neither side empowers anyone who executed your family WW2. Where on earth did you get such a delusion? Are you trying to turn the “alternative facts” thing around? What a completely insane thing to suggest.
I assume you're referring to the graph that appears (among other places) on this page[1] about 3/5ths of the way down?

You're right that score voting does better in that simulation when everyone votes honestly. But if everyone votes strategically, then score voting and approval voting are the same. (This makes sense because tactical score voting is mostly just score voting with maximalized votes, which is basically the same as approval voting.)

Using approval voting basically forces everyone to use tactical voting. Which might be less good in some metrics but it ensures that all voters have basically the same amount of influence, as opposed to tactical voters having more influence than honest voters. I think having equal influence is pretty important.

I'm not sure if this simulation that everyone likes to cite has been run more recently with STAR voting. That would be interesting.

I expect the support to be pathetic. I have had a transaction from April this year that is still stuck in processing... with no sign of refund.
Denial of COVID-19 and eventual spats with an educated expert (Fauci), denial of climate change (which we need to act on as a world population), separation of children and parent (which, as a parent, makes me extremely sad). Trump's M.O. was one of denial, ignorance, and stupidity.

Now, one might say these don't affect me. For example, the separation of children and parents of immigrants does not affect you if you are an American citizen who is allowed to vote, has a job, etc. Neither might climate change affect you as it is, or perhaps not enough yet. What did affect us all, in the world, was COVID-19, and the first wave was especially deathly. The nonchalant response of Trump to that issue was what I expected to be an eye opener to the American voter. And honestly, you don't want a president who behaves in such a way to a crisis (also look at how it backfired in Brazil). You want one who addresses the issue, is honest to you, like a gentleman or gentlewoman would.

Every Republican who stood up to Trump, I am proud of you. It takes courage to go against the flow of a powerful lunatic, when everyone follows him. The emperor wears no clothes.

I can try. -ne modifiers are just to say to execute the script on every line of input. The body that will be executed in pseudo code is

while get_input:
if rand() < 1 / current_line_number: # $. contains the line number of input
l := current_line_content # $_ always contains "what you want", in this case the current line

# when using -n flat you can use BEGIN {} and END {} blocks
# to execute code before and after the loop
print(l)
