Of course every Indian source stated that India were on the side of justice, just like Chinese media also gave a bias in favor of China. The thing is, there's no way to know which side is telling the truth. None of their sources can be considered credible on this.

You can try keeping only the "facts" as described by the Indian media in the corresponding Wikipedia entry[1] and see if others agree. My point is: You can't just assert that a unilateral statement is a fact.

"Nepal government says Nepal doesn't have border dispute with China"[2]

"Nepal denies claims of construction by Chinese side within its territory"[3]

Your news sources don't look that credible.

In fact, not only are there no disputes between Nepal and China, but instead there are disputes between Nepal and India.[4]

Some creationist are reasoning that because mutations in genes usually have a negative effect, evolution can not lead to improvements. Here we have an example of a gene that became shorter (probably due to a mutation (deletion, change or insertion) in the middle causeing a stop to be encoded) and lead to a significant improvement, even to the extend that it resulted in a new species. Even if creationist accept that evolution is possible to some extend like we see in dogs, they argue that it cannot lead to the development of new species. Now some people, especially those from pro-life camps who usually support the idea of evolution, are having ethical problems, because they feel that due to a generative mutation a new species of ape has been created.

I'm thinking of buying the Raspberry Pi 400 and I see Ubuntu MATE indeed has a 64-bit Raspberry Pi port. While the "400" apparently has some compatibility issues in some scenarios, it's essentially a higher clocked Pi 4. Assuming it's working, I wonder if it's performant as a Raspberry Pi OS alternative to the official distro? I think I prefer a cleaner MATE over the default stuff.

Edit: Oh I see now I essentially posted in parallel with another question about the Pi running this. Well, there are images for it at least!

I liked how Hunter S. Thompson put it in words when he was asked for advice.

You ask advice: ah, what a very human and very dangerous thing to do! For to give advice to a man who asks what to do with his life implies something very close to egomania. To presume to point a man to the right and ultimate goal— to point with a trembling finger in the RIGHT direction is something only a fool would take upon himself.

I am not a fool, but I respect your sincerity in asking my advice. I ask you though, in listening to what I say, to remember that all advice can only be a product of the man who gives it. What is truth to one may be disaster to another. I do not see life through your eyes, nor you through mine. If I were to attempt to give you specific advice, it would be too much like the blind leading the blind.

Yeah, I think chess can give you cold hard feedback on how well your mind is working on a given day. As the author already mentioned, performance can vary a lot. When you're doing poorly, you often don't feel very different, but then you sit down to play chess and realize you're basically sleep walking. What you're looking for is a fully awake, high alert, high awareness state of mind. Factors like diet and regular exercise can make a huge difference in my experience.
This is a point where Part III of Scott Alexander's [parable of the talents](https://slatestarcodex.com/2015/01/31/the-parable-of-the-tal...) might be worth linking to.

Scott meanwhile started off trying equally hard but never got anywhere in music - but won writing competition after writing competition without it feeling like effort to him.

Would love to learn more about how they actually got the jackscrews under the building. Did they carefully knock out part of the foundation and placed the jackscrews there? What about the parts of the building that were not at the edges; did they place the jackscrews at the edges and then dug under the building and placed the other jackscrews there? The Briggs House illustration from the bottom of the Wikipedia article, seems to shows beams of wood or concrete/stone at the bottom of the building. Wonder if they were there from the start, or put there when the jackscrews were inserted?

I have been suffering from gout for the last 4 years or so (36 y/o now) with roughly 1 attack per year, prominently in the right big toe. There is a history of gout in my family. More recently I've had the odd time where I have mild symptoms - pain in foot rather than toe and still able to limp around without too much issue. I have wanted to avoid taking allopurinol daily and have done a lot of research to find more natural / dietary solutions without really finding any silver bullet. Interesting things i have come across:

1. There is at least one study showing Lemon Juice it can lower uric acid levels in humans[1] seemingly by lowering PH of urine.

2. Tart cherry juice is mentioned a lot as a cure. There are a quite a few studies[2]. Make sure and get the tart cherry (Montmorency) juice, you can get it in a concentrated syrup. My uncle says he has not had an attack since he started drinking a generic supermarket tart juice every day. I have never had an attack whilst taking cherry juice but i haven't been taking it consistently.

3. Interesting article linking fructose and gout which matched my intuition a lot more than the link with meat - https://tim.blog/2009/10/05/gout/

4. Hot bath with epsom salts seems to temporarily ease symptoms.

I personally haven't noticed a correlation between eating meat / fish and gout attacks. I have gone from eating meat twice a day to about once a week now and there has been no noticeable change in the gout.

that's crude whataboutism.

going back to the original topic, apple hardware/software, i've used apple hardware and software (company-issued macbook pro and iphone 7/8).

The software is great as long as you want to stay within apple-defined boudaries. If you want to go outside that, it's an experience similar if not worse than using gnu/linux.

The hardware is great when the machine is brand new but decays very quickly, it's not designed to be serviced by either end-users or specialized users or specialized shops -- you're supposed to return it to an apple store and pay an expensive price to basic maintenance. As an example, cleaning up the fans from dust is very important in those machines but you have to buy special hardware to take off the screws, and in generally you risk breaking something. Keyboards failed spectacularly in last gen, and apple waited like two years before fixing it. Audio is great, until it breaks. My macbook pro (15" top of the line) couldn't sustain full-audio, and distorted audio after ~30 sec of full volume audio (imagine that during a conference call in a meeting with other people). The screen is great, but the glass panel retained ALL of the fingerprints and it was a PITA to clean, i had to buy special glass-cleaning liquids. WTF.

All the above issues appeared all shortly after the first year of life of the laptop. Call me an anti-apple fanatic, I don't care, but I expected more from a 3500+€ machine.

At the new job i've been given a 13" dell latitude 7390. It works flawlessly, it rarely skips a beat and it has none of the problems stated above. Fuck Apple.
It's actually very forgiving. For high frequency signal traces on a PCB there is this rule of thumb that your trace lengths must not differ by more 15cm per ns because that is how far electrons travel in one nanosecond. If you have a 10GHz signal that means you have a 0.01ns budget which translates to a 1.5mm max length difference between traces. Matching within 1.5mm is easy to do by hand.

Now lets talk about actual processors instead of doing an analogy. 15cm per ns is more than enough to travel everywhere inside your CPU but the vast majority of logic is localized (usually signals stay in the same core). It's only awful if you go off package to DRAM or a second socket but then the budget is often higher than 1ns. Apple probably scores a lot of performance points here because the RAM is so close to the CPU.
I can relate to this. I was briefly around 1800 in HD and DE, but found that if I didn't play for a while that I'd come back and find myself outclassed.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the game about five times over a couple of years because I found myself putting too much time into it to try to maintain a competitive skill level.

I actually tried to get into chess after quitting AoE2, to fill that strategic urge, but found the same thing - if I wasn't dedicating time and thought to it regularly I couldn't retain the advances I'd made in skill without going through a "warm up" period all over again (usually of losses).
Intel (or AMD for that matter who are using TSMC) isn't falling behind, it's just that geekbench is completely unrepresentative of real world performance across architectures, as Linus points out here[0] due to the test including hardware accelerated tasks that benefit specifically these modern arm chips.

Consequently I'm not sure how a 15A (USA) circuit could be considered safe even in the relative sense.

On Linux I can configure programs to use VPN link or not to use it so I guess it would also be the case with Mac? I would expect apps not to bypass default route settings, not being Mac user I can only guess default route can be set there, but would OS somehow provide alternative routes if it detects default route is VPN?
So far so good. Avro is the longest supported serialisation format in Confluent Kafka, recently JSON and Protobuf were added. If you are on JVM stack, the drivers to work with schemas are well supported. We use Python, and Confluent driver is lagging behind if you want some advanced stuff like supporting Avro unions for multiple event types per topic approach [1] and missing auto-resolution for schemas for that scenario in Avro deserialiser. It is not difficult to implement by ourselves, but I would prefer not to do it.

I tried to explain this in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25068976. Read the linked paper if you want to learn more about multithreaded DSP.

To put it short: I think jBridge does “pipelining“ to avoid the context switch overhead. But pipelining can also be done without sandboxing, leading to even better performance. Without pipelining, sandboxing only gives you a performance loss. Sandboxing does not imply parallelism.

> > There's no comparison to how blacks were treated in America, we are not barbarians. There's no colored bathrooms and stuff like that.

> At least in America now there are laws specifically disallowing discrimination against blacks and minorities. But it appears in Romania and the rest of Eastern Europe there is still widespread discrimination against the Roma. Looks pretty barbaric to me!

You are comparing laws on the books on one place with practice in another.

There is widespread discrimination against blacks in the US, despite the existence of laws prohibiting it. To the point that white supremacists have expressed confidence that local police throughout the country will stand aside for them to commit murder against blacks and/or people seeking accountability for crimes against blacks without any need for direct coordination or specific inside coconspirators, and those sentiments have been validated.

Plus, GP didn't offer a comparison to current treatment of blacks in America, but basically to treatment before the mid-20th century civil rights movement, when there were not such laws. When someone does that to reject that their treatment of someone else is barbaric, you don't need to shift the ground and try to do an apples to oranges comparison to something else, you can just say that the bar they have set is too low to reject the characterization of barbarism even if taken as true.
When I studied I worked at a grocery store part time, and found it a very good fit as it was mostly mechanical work requiring very little mental capacity.

After I graduated and got a programming job, I found that my hobbies took a big hit, as they all mostly required similar mental focus as work. So these days I generally do a lot less mentally taxing things. Sure I'll have bursts of creativity, but most days my brain is spent when I'm done at work and I'll go for a bike ride or watch a movie.
That's perfectly compatible with the poles being on the sides and the equator being on a vertical plane. In fact, many globes can be tilted to this position and the main rotation still happens around the poles.

I find this an extremely weird set of argument.

Opening the task manager or explorer takes less time than I can measure on both Windows and Linux... what kind of metric is this?

As for background services, of course they spend (at that moment unused resources). But you completely forego that they have an actual usefulness. Indexing files makes searching later faster. Prefetching makes loading commonly used programs faster. Virus scanning keeps your computer safe. Telemetry helps developers recognize issues and prioritize bugs, even stop hackers in time. The article you mentioned wants you to disable the firewall (bad advice) but also a lot of services that are not even consuming resources unless you have the necessary policies/hardware, like the bluetooth service or touch screen service.

Not that Windows these days runs from high-end server to low powered ARM devices, while still looking generally the same. This is not the same Windows from 20 years ago where you could easily tweak the system to get some more performance out of it. These days Windows comes out of the box running as fast as it can, while giving a reasonable user experience.

As for software, on Windows you're free to install all the software you want (just as on Linux), some software is not so nice, just as on Linux. I find it hard to blame Windows itself for that. Microsoft does not curate all the software you can install it, and a user is free to install what they want. The only OSes where this is really different are mobile OSes.

In the UK, private insurance usually requires you to use the public health system as a first stage, and only fall back to the private one for things not covered by the NHS. So you don't get a tax rebate because you are still relying on the public system.
Something that can help thinking about Euclidean and Minkowski metrics as a programmer, is thinking of how to write a low-level physics sim, and you have a 4D array of values describing some aspect of your simulated world corresponding to space and time and you want to "fill it in" according to some physical rules.

Without any metric, your 4D array entries are conceptually independent and you can't make rules that depend on a neighbor entry (as you haven't defined what a neighbor is!).

In the Euclidean metric, which certainly is the most intuitive, the entries with indices closer to each other in each dimension are also closer to each other physically.

But in the Minkowski metric, the x=0,t+1 or x=0,t-1 entries are actually not closest to your x=0,t=0 entry for example! Instead, x=1,t=1 , or x=-1,t=1 are closer (indeed, with distance zero). Generalizing to more dimensions this maps out what is called the "lightcone" as it's a cone. So you can in some sense say that all points along the lightcone are "the same" or "on top" of the cone tip, at least as seen from your rules that depend on the distance. This difference in metric is what causes all the time dilations and other artifacts of Special Relativity. Light can be seen as a connection between points in the array that are already the "same" point.

You can go one step further and say that the lightcone originating from each array entry can tilt in 4D differently in each point. This is General Relativity and causes all the effects within, if you also postulate that the tilts originate from mass-energy in the region.

> but criminal Roma gangs are an undeniable fact in Europe

There are a plethora of criminal gangs that belong to other ethnicities and nationalities in Europe. Painting the whole ethnicity/nationality with the same brush is the textbook definition of racism even though we like to hide it behind "not all Roma are like this".

> These ones live in shanty towns, do not send their young children to school even in places where school is mandatory under 15 thus perpetuate the cycle of illiteracy. Is this what educated people here are defending? really? This kids aren't even given a chance to succeed.

Yes. Gypsies are very insular and keep their culture, but I feel like that is too convenient of an explanation that people are using. In my opinion governments should make a better attempt at integrating them into the education system. Literacy is key into helping them overcome the gadjo vs roma mentality and I don't think that people and communities do enough to overcome this problem.
An interesting journey describing spacetime.

> you can’t put space (which is a measurement of distance) and time (which is a measurement of, well, time) on the same footing without some way to convert one to the other.

This idea about 'equal footing' is really a hazy way of asking if these dimensions can be considered 'independent', which the article then describes as being interdependent.

> The key idea is that we’re all moving through the Universe, through both space and time, simultaneously. If we’re simply sitting here, stationary, and not moving through space at all, then we move through time at a very specific rate at which we’re all familiar: one second per second.

This second/second rate is 'c' the speed of light, but through the 'time' dimension of spacetime.

> However — and this is the key point — the faster you move through space, the slower you move through time. The other dimensions are not like this at all: your motion through the x dimension in space, for example, is completely independent of your motion through the y and z dimensions.

This point is misleading. These dimensions are like time in that if I was traveling at the speed 'c' in only the x direction, then to move in y or z directions, movement in the x direction would need to be reduced. The main difference is that we're observing these x, y, z motions in non-relativistic scales but since 1 sec/sec is already 'c', any observation of change in motion through time is relativistic.

> But your total motion through space, and this is relative to any other observer, determines your motion through time. The more you move through one (space or time), the less you move through the other.

Hopefully, now you can see that we're always moving at 'c' through spacetime. The only reason spatial dimensions seem qualitatively different is due to our observed motion through spacetime being timelike. A photon would have reversed qualitative characterizations of space vs time dimensions.
