I'm confused at the "didn't learn it in school!" comments. I went to an average public school in lower-middle class area in the US and remember learning lots of geography. Memorizing rivers, mountains, major cities, national parks etc., and yes multiple forms of map projections. 5th grade in particular really hammered it home. We even had to draw maps. This was the early 90's.
I find case sensitivity to be a pro. Once on a case-insensitive OS I tried to rename a file by changing the case on a character and it didn't work...I think it might have been MacOS. Anyway, I simply don't understand how case-insensitivity has any benefit. It's actually quite annoying and a pet peeve of mine.
So countries can now play real time factorio?

It looks amazing.
Excludes India and USA, so I don't know how big it can really be.
Maybe it's a more complex matter? How about if people at the bottom were not continuously smacked by rich libertarian assholes and had a chance of having freedom of leisure, education, movement & all that good stuff that can make a citizen, who then is able to participate in decision making progress instead of being treated as animals for being poor? Feels bottom-up to me.
I don't see any data that backs this statement up:

>There is a COVID-19 virus; however, COVID is not more dangerous than all other flu-like viruses that impact the respiratory system. COVID-19 is very manageable and doesn’t carry a higher fatality rate.
"Politics in the state is in many ways closed off to different ideas. We grew weary of California’s intolerant far left, which would rather demonize opponents than discuss honest differences of opinion."

I disagree with much in this article, but I do agree with this specific point. I've had many conversations in San Francisco that have turned me off from discussing politics.

It's very difficult for some to accept that others can have more moderate viewpoints on certain issues. Just because one doesn't agree with another to the extent they do doesn't mean there isn't a middle ground.
The USA needs a law that limits individuals to only donating something like $5,000 per person to any political campaign entity such as PACs, Super PACs, and political campaigns. Companies should not be able to contribute anything, only citizens. CA Props should also have this limit. Otherwise, the USA will be defacto ruled by whichever entities are able to contribute the most to campaigns and advertising for politicians. If the Koch brothers are allowed to put up 1,000 billboards for their candidate, but I can only afford to put up 1 billboard for a candidate, then politicians will only serve wealthy individuals and companies that contribute the most financially to their campaigns. The result will be that the government will not adequately protect ordinary citizens or the environment, which, in my opinion, is already happening.
Why does the website complain about my Ad Blocker, when the article was clearly already paid for by the Tulsa Remote Foundation?
If orbit gets weoponized to counter ICBMs it just sounds to me like midrange missiles from subs and allied countries are going to have a rennaissance. Basically the clock is going to reset back to the 60s. Then, ICBMs are probably going to get their own defenses against pebbles so you'd need more and more of those, until orbit is so full that space becomes inaccessible (Kessler syndrome).
And then then our adversaries build endoatmospheric hypersonic weapons and robotic doomsday submarines and nuclear powered cruise missiles (all of which Russia is doing or has done), and we're back to square one.
Safely open apps on your Mac
Ahh so they're old accounts that you can dispute and claim from github due to no activity. I thought they were available names... interesting list!
This is what I figure, it will get oversold and then everyone is down to 10Mbps or so.
For me the greatest thing about Linux is that I am not at the whims of Microsoft or Apple about when they decide to change the UI. I have been using XFCE for years and it is basically the same as fifteen years ago.

If I want to change something, I can do it fairly easily, like add a dock or even change Window managers. I don't have to do things the Microsoft way or the Apple way...if I don't like something I can just change it.
Nice. I didn't know that there were bindings for other languages now.
You know if we could all just agree on the flat earth thing it would be quit a bit easier. Gravity wouldn't make a whole lot of sense though.
Thanks. Seems like a better headline might be "Tiny fraction of Bay Area residents apply to..."

Privacy protections

macOS has been designed to keep users and their data safe while respecting their privacy.

Gatekeeper performs online checks to verify if an app contains known malware and whether the developer’s signing certificate is revoked. We have never combined data from these checks with information about Apple users or their devices. We do not use data from these checks to learn what individual users are launching or running on their devices.

Notarization checks if the app contains known malware using an encrypted connection that is resilient to server failures.

These security checks have never included the user’s Apple ID or the identity of their device. To further protect privacy, we have stopped logging IP addresses associated with Developer ID certificate checks, and we will ensure that any collected IP addresses are removed from logs.

In addition, over the the next year we will introduce several changes to our security checks:

* A new encrypted protocol for Developer ID certificate revocation checks

* Strong protections against server failure

* A new preference for users to opt out of these security protections

I do not want to squash your hopes but with dietary changes alone it is not possible to stop progression of gout. In a few years you will probably start having more frequent attacks. Lossing weight is little more effective. Keeping your uric acid well below 6.0 mg/dL is when the process starts very very slowly reversing.

Fortunately there is a better understanding of the dissease and more new therapies in the pipeline.

> Dedicated gout research, going on quietly in the background of other breathtaking advances in rheumatology, is now paying off. This comes at a time when the number of patients affected by gout continues to rise, mainly due to an epidemic of obesity. An effort to improve lifestyle choices as a society and better management of the disease by clinicians should have a positive impact on gout incidence and outcome in our lifetimes.

> Importantly, prophylaxis may prevent the acute inflammatory response to crystals, but will not alter crystal deposition and ongoing joint damage, so the patient may well be unaware of progressive tophi formation and destruction of cartilage and bone. Therefore, prophylaxis should only be employed with effective ULT.

> Treatment is lifelong with a dose sufficient to maintain the serum urate below 6.8 mg/dl (404 μmol/l), preferably below 6.0 mg/dl (357 μmol/l). Anything short of this does not reverse the process, but merely slows the rate at which crystal deposition continues. The lower the serum urate achieved, the faster tophaceous deposits will resolve [1]

Ehh...I think this is hyperbolic. It doesn't usually do that, it mostly just kind of simmers at the edges of society. And it's not "every minority and immigrant group", it's the poor ones.

Earlier in the launch prep, they mentioned how much attention was being placed to the integrity of the seals of the zippers on their space suits, since they'd be required in the event of a cabin depressurization.

And shortly after I could see that, yes, they had good reason for these detailed precautions.
Yes... I did. One day I just stopped drinking it. There may be something in your lifestyle that you are doing that coffee hides that you need to change. It could be going to bed too late, eating too late, or even taking a shower too late. All those things can mess with your sleep, and a morning coffee just hides that, even though the damage is still being done.
Most academic software engineering “research” I’ve seen is pretty useless, especially these kinds of human factors studies. Questionnaires and interviews are usually too underpowered or specific to be statistically significant, and their terms are defined vaguely enough to draw any conclusions the authors want. Occasionally there is some interesting demographic information, but most of the papers I’ve read are usually glorified position papers under the guise of an empirical study.

Saying that the president was born in Kenya is not running facts through different mental models, it is disinformation. Saying there was widespread fraud in the election with zero evidence is disinformation. Saying jews were behind 9/11 is disinformation. If we can't recognize that these are weaponized attacks, not differences in opinion, then we can't defend against them.
Yes, of course you should have backups. But the subject of this article was that older MacBooks are getting _bricked_. A backup doesn't unbrick it.
In my eyes it is even too extreme, many times gout is caused by some specific behaviour like your night of red meat, if you just go back to normal moderation it doesn't happen again.
They used to want your money, now they want [to dictate] your life.
This is a very one sided interpretation.

First of all, its factually wrong. SpaceX would exist without the government. It got started without government money. It is equally false that SpaceX would not exist without government money.

SpaceX might have gone bankrupt without COTS contract, but at that time they had already proven the technology and in some form would have come back in some form.

During all of SpaceX existence government flights were never the majority of flights and SpaceX didn't fly for the DoD for a very long time. They had a huge backlog of commercial buissness.

> The truly amazing things for me with SpaceX are: Elon Musk is somehow allowed to have a role despite ties to China and a behavioural history that would make anyone else ineligible, and the fact that they are intentionally staying privately-owned in order to keep financials out of the public realm.

This points me towards the real reason for your arguments. You dislike Musk and thus if SpaceX is doing well and is private he is both responsible and has a lot of control and he gets credit.

What is truly shocking is that some people believe any of this would have happened without Musk, or that it would simply continue at the same rate without him. Great now we have SpaceX, so we can kick away Musk and continue to milk the golden goose.

You claim that anybody else would not ineligible is just nonsense, nothing he has done would disqualify any other buissness owner from working for the government. The same goes for his relationship with China.

The reality is that SpaceX and their ability to innovate is what saved NASA, all of NASA internal development have been major shit-shows for the last couple of decades and it was SpaceX that made space popular again.

Even within NASA the type of contracting they are now doing with SpaceX was very controversial, but once COTS started happening slowly most of NASA was converted to this being a better way to do buissness that has now been adopted for a huge amount of new programs and has foster in the US the most innovative private space industry in the world by far.

SpaceX has profited from government money, but the government has profited 10x as much from SpaceX ability to actually get shit done. Non of that would have happened if SpaceX was 'just' part of the government or if it made sense to think think of them like that. They are different organizations with different culture working on different things and sometimes work together.
This is one of the better written pieces I've seen on Qanon, one of the few that seems to have actually understood the phenomenon (the average journalist seems to go as far as reading and regurgitating the first line of the Wikipedia article and calling it a day).

I really think, though, that the article is wrong (and, ironically, overly conspiratorily-minded) in saying that Someone must be behind Qanon. As far as I can figure out it's just a particularly successful 8chan meme created for shits and giggles by a group of experienced trolls with varying degrees of seriousness and an intuitive understanding of all the things discussed in this article.
This always happens in China when billionaire's there "overstep their bounds" and criticize the party. I wouldn't want to be Jack Ma right now. This may not end well for him. Those billions are his only as long as Xi wants him to have them.

They are ignorant of their history and don’t understand that a lot of work had to be done in terms of education, acceptance and making peace to make that possible.

Europeans spent centuries coming up with creative ways to kill each other in the name of god, country or race, and was able to move on to better things only after having been on the precipice of annihilation.

The American condition shouldn’t be whitewashed and is a story that is still evolving. But people are people, and the stories of America or Europe or some subdivision are more about people than country.

I'm generally liked where I end up working, but tend to just do stuff on my own. I'm polite, but don't go out of my way to interact with others typically.

I do check the boxes on the code quality stuff however, especially writing code that plans for the future.
Wait, you're comparing M1's neural engine with Ampere's tensorcores? Apple is talking TOPS, not TFLOPS, that means M1's 11 TOPs are for inference only, not training. By contrast, a tensorcore on Ampere does ~20 TFLOPS FP64, 78 TFLOPS FP16/BF16, and with GPU boost clock, up to 312 TFLOPs @ BF16.

If you want to talk TOPS, an A100 does up to 1.2 exa-ops INT8, and 2.4 exa-tops INT4. That is, an A100 is more than 1000 times more powerful than the M1 at inferencing, while also supporting up to FP32/FP64 weights, and a 3080 is more than 500 times more powerful than the M1 neural engine.

I found this culture sneaking into Silicon Valley companies, too. I recently left a SV company for one in the NE and the difference is astounding.

I’m much happier and there is much less corporate activism.
If $10k is all it took to incentivize someone to leave the Bay Area, I suspect they never really moved here for the right reasons.

I also agree it seems like some weird cognitive dissonance to look down on California’s labor and environmental laws, as if many people like to pretend they’re in the owner class. Sure, some are crazy, but overall it’s a trend in the right direction to benefit the vast majority of worker bees, at least the ones who aren’t pretending they’re going to be millionaires.
Direct field access sets the internal state of an object from outside of it's implementation. I would say the key underlying principle here is messaging passing - the object chooses how it responds to API requests it receives - and fields don't allow this to happen.

Fields prevent data validation, read-only fields, and polymorphic behavior. A particular edge case is that you can shadow a field in a subclass, and it can change the field which is accessed in other untouched code.

Getters/setters fix all of these limitations and others without considering API compatibility. IMO, the above are more important because they relate to the correctness of the code.

Except that studies show that (at least above some relatively low threshold), money spent on a campaign doesn't correlate with election success.

While I understand what you’re going for here, this feels a bit eugenics-ish to me. They are as much a human being as you are and people are capable of change. Odds are they didn’t choose to live there.
Didn't he basically make himself dictator for life last year by removing any term limits for him "as long as the party voted him in". If you oppose him now there's a good chance you're kicked out of the party, and that's the least of the punishments.

Terminating a pregnancy at 100 days is nowhere near "slaughtering babies".

If there's a moral issue here, it's about the experience we put the monkey mothers through to conduct this experiment since they cannot reasonably give consent for it and are at a sentience level where this is a reasonable concern.

From reading the article, given the value of this research, I think the concerns were adequately addressed - namely, the fetus was not brought to term, it was removed via C-section, the monkeys seem to have been adequately cared for emotionally, and it's a reasonable statement that simian miscarriage is a concept they would understand to some degree and thus not be overly distressed by the process. These were marmosets, not chimps so this is a reasonable level of precaution due their sapience level.
Yes, you put your finger on it. I think the central issue really is a chicken-and-egg issue: the people who live around them put causal force on the Roma's anti-social behavior, the Roma put it on their rejection / exclusion by the people around them (or maybe they don't?). Nobody wins until somebody backs down. Whoever backs down pays costs. If the surrounding people back down and start treating the Roma well, the Roma will take advantage of them for a while. If the Roma back down and start behaving the way the surrounding people want them to, they won't get full credit for their efforts for a while.

Maybe there's some way to broker a detente. Maybe that's already happening.

DI has nothing to do with the differences between classes/objects and functions/closures, DI and IoC are about reusable code and being able to switch out implementations. You can do IoC in either pattern.

In Java functions/closures and objects/classes are the same thing. You have the best of both worlds. You can for instance define a function that takes an argument a and a function b and pass it either a functional lambda or a class that implements said function:

static void doSomething(int a, Runnable b) {
if (a > 0) {
b.run();
}
}

doSomething(1, () -> System.out.println("hello"));

Runnable r = new SomeClassThatImplementsRunnable();
doSomething(0, r);
I don't believe the current scientific consensus has meat consumption as a risk factor for gout. I read a paper recently that specifically mentioned that simple sugars (glucose, fructose, sucrose) and purine. Purine is present in quantity in certain organ meats, but not meats that most people eat frequently, and you're more likely to get it from legumes.

I "run" a FLOSS project that grosses about US$20k/month. Actual expenses are less than US$150/month, which leaves the vast majority available to enter the pockets of the people (currently generally just two) who get paid. This year, we've also chosen to accumulate almost US$40k for future project "purposes".

As a resident of New Mexico, I put aside 23% of my gross income for federal and state tax, and that is normally within a few hundred dollars of the correct amount.

WSL2 has lots of benefits over a typical VM. It's a lot faster than your average type 2 VM (e.g. VirtualBox), it cold boots quickly, and you can run servers on localhost out of the box and access them through a regular Windows browser. I enjoy using it for Jupyter notebooks.

Plus WSL2 has way better tooling integration than most VMs - Windows Terminal, VSCode, etc. work well. I've found the experience compelling enough that I don't see much reason to dual boot Linux outside of CUDA applications (which are also supported now on Insiders.)
I used to work for Suse. During my time there MicroOS was broadly considered to be a joke and abandonware by my coworkers. I worked on the very team developing their k8s solution ( the entire team of which was fired due to the recent acquisition )

My recommendation, which is, of course, my personal opinion, is to stay away from MicroOS.

It seems like one issue is that the Roma can be easily identified even when mostly or fully absorbed by the surrounding culture. That isn't true of poor Ukranians I bet. But my gut says there's some dynamic with the Roma whereby remaining separate and different is highly valued by the community, and they punish their own for doing things that erode that separation. Which may be self-sustaining, but it's probably bad for them in aggregate.
