I'm so glad some folks found this a worthwhile post and also thanks for sharing your story. It seems that these caterpillars just eat/grow/molt ceaselessly until it's time to spin a cocoon!

These single-subject, old school design websites make me nostalgic for the early web.

p.s. Coming across this site made me want to build an entire grade-school curriculum based on "silk". There's so many subjects to cover, including:
Biology (worm lifecycle, climate)
History (trade, Silk Road)
Chemistry (why silk is so strong)
Arts (what can be made of silk, production process)

Even feral kittens take a while (a couple weeks) to become comfortable enough to be held after being caught. You can usually pet them at that point, but will still hiss as they see your hand moving towards them, and end up doing this weird combination of hiss(sees hand)/purr(gets petted).
From a computational perspective you're right, but for languages which allow formal verification (like ATS) there is a big difference between infinite loops and long-running loops.

In particular, if we only care whether something exists then we can accept a long-running computation as proof without having to run it, whilst an infinite loop may be false. For example, a function which takes a list, an index and a proof that the index occurs in the list: we can look up the index safely, without having to care about the actual contents of the proof (the language ensures it's valid).

On the other hand, we can write an infinite loop which claims to prove anything we like, but never actually has to cough up anything. For example:

ProofOfRiemannConjecture myProof {
while (true) {}
}

This one-third of Android devices only yields 5% of traffic? Interesting.
It gets worse for a determined attacker. The "difficulty" on that page seems to be 136, corresponding to ~131000 hashes of blake2b if I'm understanding the documentation right [1]

There are ASICs for crunching blake2b designed for mining siacoin. One ~$2000 card [2] can do ~4 trillion hashes, or 30 million captcha solves, per second

Replace “doesn’t make sense” with “isn’t competitive.” If exceptionalism is a mirage, freedom of speech incurs a cost on a country for no gain. Ceteris paribus others without that drag will have an advantage.
Yea... but they dont exist in a vacuum. What can we do about people who are easily fooled by stupid crap? That's a serious question. People keep believing in the dumbest things and defend that to the death. When I was growing up, there were common jokes about the fact politicians will say anything to get a vote. Thus, dont believe any. Suddenly everyone is praising politicians like they're the second coming of Jesus. This is both sides of the aisle. "That politician has my best interests in mind". That's just as stupid as the person who goes, "Hey, you know what, after seeing that sign on the side of the road, I'm going to vote for them."

We are in the age of people so desperate to be apart of a "special group", they're willing to destroy everything around them. Both metaphorically and literally. What's worse, it's "okay" to do so. Folks bought into the life hacks, saving the planet staged videos because they want to so they can feel special doing their upvote. How do you stop it?

You're right, but if enough people include thoughts like "what can I do personally to reduce my carbon footprint" and take action, then those conversions and actions end up making their way into the meeting rooms and board rooms.

Any time there is an election, volunteer. Get people to vote, canvass, post up flyers. Local elections can have the difference of a couple dozen votes.
It’s likely a net positive for the world, but a net negative for the people displaced. That’s why gentrification is a dirty word in many communities. However, like most things it’s complex.

One often overlooked benefit is the knock on effects of gentrification are real improvements in local school systems. Looking across decades you often see gay communities which care less about local school systems acting as a catalyst by increasing local revenue while reducing the demands placed on local schools. The improvement in local schools precedes people’s awareness that the schools have improved. Similarly, many people can leverage the improvements in the local economy to keep up with the transition.

That said, relatively few people can keep up with significant changes and those people are simply worse off having lost an affordable community which they had social or economic ties to. A restaurant for example is generally different to relocate. A local handyman may have a steady stream of existing customers, which don’t follow them etc.

I'm working on a product in my company that's doing something similar: we sell THING and supplies for THING

The cost for the supplies depend on the region your in. So we're setting it up that if you buy a THING in say US/Canada, you can only buy supplies from a reseller in US/Canada and not a cheaper one in Africa.

Why am I doing this? My wife lost her job due to COVID, and I'm the sole income earner right now. Once things recover I'll switch jobs.

No. You may not have seen it but I edited my comment a few minutes after posting to mention grants.

The FDA does have an orphan drug program that would seem to apply (if non-patentable) and could help fund clinical trials but I don’t know how much else of the process it will pay for.
This is exactly how I look at technical debt, yet it seems so many people miss the appropriate financial metaphor, which seems obvious given debt is in the name. It seems popular to conflate technical debt with bad engineering, but appropriately pushing work off to the future is actually very thoughtful engineering. Technical debt is a tool that can be applied (just like financial debt) to work towards an end goal when you otherwise don't have the means to pay the price upfront.

Getting a startup off the ground requires an excellent understanding of how much technical debt you can incur and realistic estimates about your ability to pay it off as your team grows.
Ah, ok, sorry!
IT'S OVER: Biden defeats Trump
The good news is that printing volume has decreased so much that this is really HP's swan song trying to milk that last nearly dead cow.

It is annoying that we still have to print anything, and the same for all of the things you receive in the mail.

Thank god for docu-sign and electronic filing.

Would be great if everyone concerned about the environment would also focus on mail, priting, to add to the list of plastic straws
Thanks, sir, it took me some time to find it, to be honest.
It's very difficult for people to calculate what set of small changes is most impactful. And you've also got to account for the costs of spending hours every week trying to optimize for that.

The most efficient solution is to implement some market pricing mechanism for carbon, and have consumers automatically enact change through the existing, legible process they use for making decisions: comparing prices.
Not here. I got the notification 2/3 days ago when my sister changer her iPhone. I don’t know about the latest update.
Hahahaha, way off base. Saladin is revered by khilafist Muslims who wish to reunite the Muslim world under one Islamic government. There's a lot of overlap between this group and groups proscribed by the US government.

Guarantee most Muslims have no idea that Saladin was ethnically Kurdish or think that that matters. Most Muslims don't even know anyone Kurdish or care about Kurds. The Kurdish story is really only told much in the West because they were allies with the West in all the last two decades' wars.

I'll bet the house that YouTube noticed lots of channels promoting Saladin are also heavily populated with videos praising groups with similar aims as Saladin but which are proscribed by the US govt (don't wanna say names for obvious reasons)
The community also depends on the people living in it - a diversity of the types, and incomes, of people benefits the neighborhood. People churning in and out is harmful -- I'd argue more harmful than the increased property value accounts for.

I don't have a good solution for this. Rent control helps a bit, but has bad externalities. Property ownership helps a lot but any measure to drive up ownership immediately prices out lots of people because it's captured very well by the housing market.

> As of January 11, 2021, we’re planning to make a change to our API so that ACME clients will, by default, serve a certificate chain that leads to ISRG Root X1.

Ouch. So anyone who wants to support older devices 3 months from now needs to add `--preferred-chain "DST Root CA X3"` to their certbot command. When that chain is completely retired in September next year, certbot appears to fallback on the default (even with that argument present).
Yes, Ethereum did start with PoW, but also with a 70% premine that undermines it with a large concentration of wealth.
Trying to save money that way always makes me shake my head. Seriously what does 100 sqft of office space cost? $200/month? Maybe $300 when you include common space? So $3600/year. Or 3% of your engineers salary? Doesn't take a very big hit in productivity to erase any savings many times over.
This is a false correction. The idea that there is a difference between Kurds and Arabs would not have even been recognized by Saladin himself.
Metaphors are a powerful tool when trying to illustrate complex topics. They're very helpful in philosophy. I need to learn making better metaphors.
You won't believe how pressing it is for Chinese merchants in Russia. Crypto is their only way to repatriate funds back into China, and they are moving billions that way. There is a huge ecosystem around this in Moscow currently.
The pot has a significantly wider daily stress range though. Some GPUs might come close but their guarantees are usually less than two years.
I think technical debt can be either. I agree with you that it isn't by definition bad code, but it can also be bad code. Let's also not assume an ideal case where every bit of tech debt was the best possible code that could be written under the time constraints of the time... with absolutely no influence due to lack of skill, ownership, motivation, etc. of the author.

I think that'd be a use-case for HPs "ink hostage" (instant ink or something like that), as another commenter put it, program.

The article ("Did Neanderthals go to war with our ancestors?") is about events that took place ~100k years ago at the very latest.

I use OpenBSD (they are the maintainers of OpenSSH which provides scp), and watch one of its mailing lists, and it seems like they are encouraging disuse of scp for security reasons as mentioned elsewhere here. The Fedora-related discussion here of a new scp that uses sftp underneath, I'm guessing is less likely to make it to OpenBSD soon, for whatever such a rough guess is worth.

I made a separate comment suggesting a way to locally replace scp with sftp, as others have also done with rsync (Ctrl-F here for "progress").

No, you're lacking adequate protection for fresh parents, mothers and fathers alike.

At the moment career market forces have the upper hand - they can select for those who are willing to go back to the lab two weeks postpartum. If it were mandatory that all new parents had six months postpartum time off, the situation would be different.
Note: the I/O chip on AMD Zen 2 / Zen 3 is a 14nm GloFo chip. Only the CPU-cores ("Zepplin" maybe, or whatever they call them now) are 7nm TSMC.

So AMD's strategy also leads to lower fabrication costs: because they can make a far cheaper 14nm chip to handle the slower portions of I/O (talking to RAM, or PCIe), while the expensive 7nm parts of TSMC are used only for the cores / L1 cache / L2 cache / L3 cache.

I'll make two bets:

1) PC makers start coming out with their own keyboard computers with a similar form function within the next 12 months.

2) A future Mac Mini has this same keyboard form factor. (Perhaps with a "keyboard + magic trackpad" form factor.)
Your model is mostly useful and shared with the people with the 'harm' view. To reach the conclusion that the 'harm' group are reaching, set your move transaction cost¹ to a large value and add a local-relationships parameter that depends on time-spent-at-current-location and weight it very highly as well.

Should you so desire, you may want to add in a cost to capture the notion of how a person moving contributed to the improvement. This will usually need to be inflated above the true economic contribution (IKEA effect, etc.).

The local-relationships parameter may be effectively quadratic (since a person moving diminishes their relationships and relationships are two-sided).

¹ It is clear you know this but for other readers that may not, that's not just the monetary cost.
Chip architecture isn't current Intel's problem, process architecture is.

There's some overlap between the 2, but 100% of Intel's current struggles can be chalked up to dysfunction on their process side.

Given the lead time of chip arch (2-3 years?), the chip side of the house is arriving at manufacturing start day, and the process and specs they'd been optimizing for just aren't available.

Until Intel's process catches up, other parts of the company have limited options. (TSMC!)
First digit visualization of selected counties/cities in the 2020 election
Nutrients – Deficiencies, Risks, and Antagonistic and Synergystic Relationships
I just though of another analogy.

Software development is like a city planner with unlimited space.

The developers are also the construction workers that use cranes, trucks, and tools to build the buildings. But the problem is that they don't have time and leave a lot of equipment behind.
Now there are finished buildings with cranes still assembled, cement trucks parked in the middle of the road, piles of dirt on the ground, and scaffolding everywhere.

Luckily space is unlimited so the developers build cat walks, helicopter pads, and bridges over obstructions. If city planners have a lot on their plate without random construction equipment laying around, imagine how hard it would be if they worked knowing construction a lot gets left behind.
Raise a family, own your home, pay your taxes, and work hard to get to know all your neighbors. Be politically active; get on a committee or two and get to know the local boards and elected officials.

Years ago I read of several Boomers who settled in north Boston in a rather bombed out neighborhood, invested themselves into this area and became politically active. The city was more responsive to them because of the fact that they were known and active and vocal.

Of course also support business investments and reasonable taxes & zoning regulations in your city, because without money, nothing else will succeed.

Also support your local public schools, take an active interest, get on the school committee, volunteer if possible at the school, and just be involved. Schools are vital to attracting solid families to an area to anchor it and reduce crime and negligence.

Good luck and keep in mind that it's a decades-long pursuit, not something that is solved in a month, or even a year. This is a marathon, not a sprint.
I have a 2010 Android smartphone and it's painfully slow to navigate the modern web, almost unbearable. Browsing news websites is simply not worth my time of waiting for the phone to download and process 22MB of JS, CSS, and graphics. Being on wifi makes no difference; it's the CPU choking to render all that cruft.

So yeah, 5% of traffic makes sense.
It's much, much closer to the real number.

The DoE budget is almost 3/4 defense related (25B/35B [0])

DHS is far more than TSA, which is only 16% of its budget.

I wouldn't have rolled the entire USAID budget in, but it's disingenuous to not include peacekeeping operations and military aid, which are a big part of it.

Regardless, even with adjustments you've pointed out, the number is well over $1t, which is almost double the disingenuous number that GP threw out.

It absolutely can do text redirection, but also lots of other stuff. I'm more into functional programming in general, but the object-oriented stuff in Powershell is really well suited for the use case. Honestly in a lot of ways Powershell just solves shell scripting, almost any task can be accomplished by stringing a handful of separate modules together, just like bash is supposed to be.
Technically, from tge end user perspective, several of these attscks already occured through injection of industry specified "secure computing" IC's into consumer grade jardware. Your GPC hides data from you not because you asked for it, but because trade groups decided they couldn't pass up on monetizing you, yet they needed to strongarm silicon manufacturers to enable adversarial integrations intended to firmly lock you out of the overall state space of your computer.

Call me an extremist if you want, but few manufactured goods have seen the level of anti-end user engineering effort put into them than computers. And that's a sad thing to see.
on androids older than 5, the browser is the old android browser instead of chrome. how many sites out there still test compatability with that?

even without having to click through security warnings, the web is horribly broken on old android devices. the overlap of sites using letsencrypt and sites that care about people using android <5 has got to be vanishingly small. this isn't going to cause a move away from letsencrypt.
In my experience, the problem is two-fold.

1. There is a contract that forces people to deliver something on time.

2. The people who should deliver think they know how, but they don't and they won't take the steps to learn it because they don't know how to learn it or because of 1.
that sounds like an invitation for a serious play to discharge some accumulated energy. My cat wouldn't attack me, yet he would noticeably periodically need a "rough" play time. I'd stick my hand into 2-3 hoses of the thick training pants (the result being kind of a stretched out - the cat naturally liked to work all his legs simultaneously - boxer glove) and that would be an "enemy" that the cat would fight with using all his claws and teeth.

> Stopping the diaphragm is extremely important because your egoic thoughts (or life situation) is tied to the diaphragm. The ego needs time to exist – a past or a future. You are consciousness and exist only in the present moment. I have not read this in a book or been told this by anyone, I have experienced this. I don’t understand all of it yet but I know my thought patterns have completely changed since activating my kundalini – time no longer exists in my thoughts.
