My main point was about the side channel so I just took their word on that.
Here's some more of their trenchant analysis:

https://twitter.com/APhilosophae/status/1325148807546376193

They're showing results from Prince William County in Virginia to say, a-ha, a huge number of people voted for Biden but didn't vote at all for a downballot race: clearly a sign of fraud, irregularities, malfeasance, perhaps even skullduggery!

Except the image doesn't show the titles of those races: the second is obviously for President, and the first, with fewer votes, is... for the representative for the first Congressional district. There are three different Congressional districts that are partially within Prince William County.

These aren't nefarious, suspicious Biden-only votes, they're just showing one race that's on everybody's ballot and comparing it to another that isn't. The count of reporting precincts also seems to have been edited for the listing of Presidential votes: it shows 44 in the image instead of the actual number of 94.

You could chalk these things up to mistakes or misunderstandings, but judging by the content of the rest of this person's messaging I think it's pretty clear that assuming good faith isn't warranted here.

I can't speak to powerlifting as it's never been my strong suit. I've likely only been to a handful of powerlifting meets and they only were for benchpressing.

Deadlifting as an exercise is actually one of the three main lifts in powerlifting. What makes the best powerlifters is a high total weight combination of Bench/Squat/Deadlift which is generally how it's judged in most competitions these days.

I think there's a small line between deadlifting and what weightlifters like us would call cleaning.
A deadlift is a lower-back dominant exercise, to build power and strength there.
A clean is a similar movement of getting weight off the ground and into the air, but is completely leg and upper-body dominant, with many, many other accessory movements in-between. This is why we see Crossfit athletes implement weightlifting into their training and why it is so popular today- because of the rewarding "total body" strength gains and cardiovascular fitness.
I've watched California's election results for decades. You totally see mail in ballots trend Democratic. And urban areas tend to be slow to report. The tallies always shift towards Republicans then shift back toward Democrats.

> . i still feel like evolutionary approaches are due for a big big comeback any time soon....

I was in college during the early late 90s, early 2000s, that was a winter time for ML.Besides the perennial AI, the popular term was "soft computing" to include not only neural networks, but also stuff like fuzzy logic, evolutionary algorithms and simulated annealing. I found it all the approaches so fascinating. For better or for worse the DL explosion totally eclipsed the rest of approaches. Does anybody know of recent relevant work on those fields?
For real. I’m a contractor that bills by the hour which means I have a pretty good understanding of cost of features.

At a previous client I got a ticket that would mean rewriting a large part of the application, to the tune of €10k. Something didn’t sit right with me and I started sleuthing around the org chart, asking relevant people questions. The €10k ticket became €0.5k in research and two-line css fix + different copy in the UI
I think most democrats would agree purging dead people from the voters roles is something that could be improved. However, dead people voting is not a significant problem. Trump is using it as a reason to cast doubt on the election outcome.

Why Google Pay and PhonePe will have to limit operations?
It might make sense to stretch the code blocks, to avoid horizontal scrolling which is quite annoying when reading code. Similar to photos breaking out of the text column on various sites.
If I can’t immediately decide on a good name, I like to take a single word (or occasionally as many as three) that describes it, and take the initial (or initials) and use that as a code name. That way I know I’ve got to change it, and avoid the risk of retaining a bad name because of inertia. One project I have going at present is code named “B”. Some previous examples have been “ABC”, “C” and “V”.
You raise an interesting point about what our place as software developers is. We continue to deliver solutions that allow people to have their money, identities, etc, stolen. It’s not all of us, all the time, but our culture is not about building the most bulletproof of solutions (to put it nicely; some of us build things that actively bad for society). Other engineering cultures are much stricter with their quality control, and restrictions on use are part of that.

Is requiring certified electrical wiring that much different from a “walled garden”? Some people tinker at the edges of their home setup, but you’d probably be pretty worried if you found out your average neighbor had rewired their whole house on their own following some lifehack they found online. Computers are connected in a different way than neighboring houses, but it doesn’t mean you aren’t affected by the decisions of your digitally-close acquaintances (from worms and botnets down to simple email/contact harvesting).

That’s not to say the world hasn’t benefitted greatly from software choosing velocity over robustness; other technologies have followed similar early arcs, causing damage before they matured. Maybe we’re at the point where limiting choice is simply one of our least-bad strategies for most people? For what it’s worth, I am pretty confident that the vast majority of people want computing appliances and not tools (why would computers be any different from any other consumer good?), so I find it highly unlikely that the pro-tinkering arguments apply outside of a tiny proportion of users. I definitely don’t mean to imply that this is the only way, but it seems like there’s already a spectrum of choices for consumers and sometimes it feels like we’re arguing to narrow the less “open” end of that spectrum because we’re projecting ourselves onto the whole population.
Time series analysis of mail-in ballots stats reveals widespread fraud
Minorities are disproportionately affected by long waiting times. Minorities have to wait twice as long to vote on average. Examples abound of people having to wait 5+ hours just to vote in heavily Democratic, minority locations. Its an easy problem to solve - add more/better locations, more voting machines, more poll workers - but seems to be consistently ignored or even exacerbated.

The strength gains directly translate into mechanical advantages in other situations.

> Any outdoorsy activity is vastly superior to it due to exposure to fresh air and sunlight.

Citation needed.

> It also tends to be less boring and monotonous than lifting heavy things for some inexplicable reason.

You're approaching this with the wrong mindset. Its the minimum viable test case for improvement. Many less variables than 'outside in fresh air and sunlight'. I also think you'll find that many people do lift outside, maybe you're stereotyping based on planet fitnessesque gyms that you've frequented.
The problem is that the GDPR consent prompts ask for tracking/data processing consent regardless of any technical methods like cookies, local storage or browser fingerprinting.

A browser implementing a cookie consent UI would not fully solve the problem because websites might still want to track you through other means (browser fingerprinting, server-side analytics, etc) and if they want to respect the regulation then they still need to ask for consent.

I am philosophically Bayesian, but given that I work with large datasets, I am practically frequentist.

I actually think that many of the people who promote Bayes everywhere have never tried to run a simple Stan regression on 100k+ data-points (pro-tip: sample, then sample some more, give up as it's taking too long).

That being said, from a philosophical point of view, Bayes is definitely the way I think.

If you like helping others you work to make a diiference in other people's lives.

I’m referring to the 2000 election. I’m comparing and contrasting those results with the 2020 election, of which we see no similarity.

I believe this was clear with context, as we are discussing the possibility of this election being decided in court.
Not sure what you think about this, but I feel like there are people who can deadlift, and people who can squat.

I like low-bar squats, but I was never very strong in them(~1/2 my DL weight), they hurt my knees, and I've tweaked my back several times doing them.

I freaking love DLs. They feel amazing, they actually seem to fix my back pain, and I'm just downright strong in them(compared to my maxes in nearly every other exercise).

Now, I also have to say that as a 45 year old who has now gone through shoulder surgery, and gave up anything beyond farmers carries( * ) when it comes to weightlifting, that most people should just stick to cardio. I feel so much better now that I'm doing crazy hikes again and not carrying around a bunch of useless muscle. I'm better in bed, I feel less pain, I have more energy, and I'm not spending all day worrying about protein targets. To each their own. Weightlifting was fun and being big is kinda satisfying, but it's not something I will recommend anymore.

* - I'll probably get a bar and some plates to resume lower weight(275 or less), higher rep DLs once I move out of the bay area and have the space.
Sometimes water damage can be undone by completely soaking in distilled water to rid the impure water and rinse off the salts, and then letting dry.

When you run your own code, compiled on your own computer with your own copy of XCode for nobody but yourself, the only applicable measure of software quality is whatever is good enough for you.

Even if you choose to run flaky code, there are very little security benefits and no stability implications from restricting an app to run for only 7 days. The 7 day rule is obviously meant to interfere with homebrewing and make hobby developers with no App store aspirations pay $99.

Sorry to be so patronising, but your perspective obviously lacks understanding. The vast majority of iOS users never even tried making something themselves, they just want to be safe while looking up the solution. That's okay, but off-topic.
I don’t think click through tos are legal. It’s just convention to pretend they are real. The real world equivalent is a 15 page sign in a store that says “by entering this store you consent to our staff living on your couch”
I’m happy for iSH, and I have no doubt Apple reversed their stance because the community has been so vocal about this. I feel for all the small devs who has apps removed from the App Store for similar reasons and never had a chance to fight.
I can understand where you are coming from- though I think you might be blurring the lines between conventional deadlifts and other forms which benefit much more than just your back. (rack pulls, sumo deadlifts, trap bar deadlifts)

Deadlifts as the exercise it purely is, is less likely to give you the strength for running you desire. Having been in the atmosphere of "Train as efficiently as possible", I can attest that deadlifts are far from a great choice for physical health. My 75 y/o coach would tear me a new one if he saw me wasting time training them.

I'm not surprised deadlifts have helped you gain a strong back, but having also trained for a marathon I can tell you there is a plethora of other benefits you will miss out on by training your lower back instead of your legs and overall cardio fitness.
I remembered a few years I ago I tried to parse this monster of a CSV file to try to extract as much area name as possible. I was trying to create a new Japanese town name list for OpenTTD, since the existing one only have ~600 names.

Since I was just scraping for names, I just ignored all the lines that are hard to parse. Kudos to the author for actually parsing it properly.

Thank you! I enjoy reading plant folklore.

The shape and form of ginseng ..a kind of homunculus..reminds me of another root with a likely sinister folk lore/mythology : Mandrake/Mandragora*

I have grown several mandrakes..mostly mandragora autumnalis. I didn’t know what to do with it. So I bottled the root in vodka. I have three more potted ones. They do seem to have a ‘plant spirit’.

For a while..when I was gardening more than farming, I was fascinated by what’s known as poison plants. They have fascinating mythologies and even more fascinating chemistry. Turns out a lot of them are medicinal as well. We extract medicine from atropa belladonna, digitalis, scopolamine, datura stramonium, henbane, aconite/henbane, the yew tree, hemlock and more. But fundamentally, they are all poisons. I like to imagine all plants as female archetypes. They cover the spectrum of maiden, mother and crone.

Before I got into farming, I tried my hand at art(badly). I found out that I lacked artistic discipline and firm strokes, but I was more comfortable with ‘colours’. It’s difficult to explain..each of the plant spirit had a different colour based on its qualities and nature. Cross referencing then with mythologies of the world, there is a rich collection of plant characters.

Thanks again.

This happens for every great personality. Once you become famous, people try to connect them somehow. In fact, if you're from same race/gender/region/caste, it is very easy to connect as you don't have to do anything but it's all inherited.

The other comment says it best. Deadlifts are a core concept are great- you can implement them into your rack pulls, trap bar deadlifts, and romanian deadlifts and reap enormous benefits that they offer.

However... Deadlifts as the exercise it is? Almost not worth doing in the scheme of things. Want to win a deadlift competition? Sure. But for any other reason I could strongly argue that there are many, many better suited exercises for your health than a Deadlift.

I find font-family stacks to regularly be a source of amusement and/or bafflement. Here’s this site’s main one:

font-family: freight-text, Iowan Old Style, Georgia, system-ui, -apple-system, Segoe UI, Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, Noto Sans, sans-serif;

I… what? The web-font serif, then a macOS (I think?) serif, then a Windows serif, then… system-ui stuff which is almost always sans-serif, then sans-serif fallbacks. This is a bizarre mixture.

This immediately makes much more sense:

font-family: freight-text, Iowan Old Style, Georgia, serif;

And I tend to think just this would be better:

font-family: freight-text, serif;

Also, one other rule that I can’t let pass by without comment:

letter-spacing: .01em;

Bumping letter-spacing is always risky: the designer chose the spacing they did for a reason. Pretty much the only circumstances you should do it are (a) very specific display purposes (that is, headings and the likes—typically 0.2em or more) and (b) all caps (typically something like 0.07ex). Body text letter-spacing bumps are almost always a bad idea. In this case, it’s even already using a fairly wide font. (Well, so long as freight-text is used. I really wish all font properties (font-, letter-spacing, &c.*) could be varied by font availability, so that you could do things like bump font-size if you use your own web font with smaller metrics than the likely fallback font.)

> > Some cheating leaves barely a shadow of evidence. In other cases, the evidence is massive. Consider what happened one spring evening at midnight in 1987: seven million American children suddenly disappeared. The worst kidnapping wave in history? Hardly. It was the night of April 15, and the Internal Revenue Service had just changed a rule. Instead of merely listing each dependent child, tax filers were now required to provide a Social Security number for each child. Suddenly, seven million children — children who had existed only as phantom exemptions on the previous year’s 1040 forms — vanished, representing about one in ten of all dependent children in the United States.

> The “seven million” figure appears to be accurate, as noted in a December 2000 National Tax Journal article by Jeffrey B. Liebman that drew its data from a 1990 Internal Revenue Service conference report:

The same people claiming there is minimal voter fraud on the basis of the relatively few in number convictions for voter fraud probably would have also claimed in 1986, before the IRS rule change, that there was minimal IRS dependent tax credit fraud.

Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence unless you make a sufficiently thorough effort to actually collect the evidence (i.e., to detect voter fraud).
The Apple store does not replace any open standards, it is merely an alternative. Apple cannot and does not you from using or paying for open hardware and software.

No no no. This is terrible for your self-esteem over a long period. I understand being in a tidy workspace but having things bare is demoralising.

Funishings have their place in any office. I have some nice art on the wall and I have a hifi setup with podcasts / music on.
While I agree with this I also find tremendous value sometimes in slowing down, forcing me to think before I write something down exactly because of the high cost of writing. It makes every word more valuable. I can type a lot of junk really really fast...

> the main physical benefit from weightlifting (strength training in particular) is that you can lift heavier things.

Personally I got religion on weight lifting after reading a book on aging. Losing bone and muscle mass is inevitable with age but if you have a good base you’ve got more to lose. If you keep on weight lifting you lose it much slower. I never got serious about it. I’ve never broken 100kg for a squat and I’m perfectly ok with staying there forever. But I’m going to get weak slower than those who only do cardio and I aim to able to sit up unassisted for as long as possible, and to avoid breaking a hip too.
This is a good introduction to what is actually going on here: http://developer.download.nvidia.com/books/HTML/gpugems/gpug...
I don’t think the “choice” is that simple. If I only want to trust Apple with my credit card data, right now I can do that and buy any app on the iPhone. In a multi-store world, I might then have to give my card info to other vendors because an app (Fortnite, say) decides to be alt-store exclusive. That would eliminate my choice to have a single trusted payment processor. If that current experience is part of _why_ I might like an iPhone, wouldn’t a multi-store world be limiting my choice since now both major vendors would be providing the same experience in that realm?

(I don’t mean to imply that one choice is necessarily more valuable than the other, just that they both exist.)
