Interferometry can simulate the resolution of a dish corresponding to its baseline but not the sensitivity.

The VLA may simulate the resolution of a 36 km dish, but it has the sensitivity of a 130 meter one, considerably less than Arecibo's 305. You're ultimately limited by signal vs noise and can't make up for the receiving area that simply isn't there, no matter the width of the baseline.

This makes interferometers and stationary giant dishes different tools, suited to different types of observations. Arrays are not good at imaging extended diffuse sources.

Good to hear :). I think in the US some places must be much worse than others. Here in Portland, Oregon, on a 7 mile round trip (without much overlap) through the urban core that I make regularly by bike I only see maybe four billboards, and all but one (a not too large sign of a stadium that mostly advertises events there) are the traditional paper type (or whatever it is that they use). Most are near highways or highway access so I assume anyone who uses highways regularly will see more of them. There are also some small advertisements (also not LCD) on bus shelters, although there aren't many bus shelters. I rarely notice any of them unless I am stopped at a traffic light near one. It took me a while to even remember most of them. I'd still prefer fewer of them, but it isn't at all comparable to using the web without an adblocker. Additionally, there is no chance that the billboards will install malware on my computer.

If you look at data for my country (Scotland) it the 45 - 64 age group have occupied the most hospital beds during the pandemic.

Scroll to “Hospital Admissions by Age Group”

So while some scans etc will have been missed for this age group during lockdown, they would also have suffered losses as a result of an overwhelmed health system.

There is something fishy about selling a product with 0% APR - it means as a consumer you're actually WORSE off if you DON'T get the loan (since you would earn interest on the cash in your account). Forcing people to borrow when they don't have to is a strange way to make money off fees?
MacOS X is not a new version of MacOS 9 - it's renamed OPENSTEP with a MacOS X theme and some parts replaced. It's also very different from most Unixes in that it has a Mach microkernel with a BSD coat of paint. It almost has more in common with NT than it has with Linux.

Before that, MacOS had (AFAIK - never seen it myself) the MPW environment that had a Unix-like shell.

And A/UX.

The world is complicated and very difficult to understand. Worst, most people have no motivation whatsoever to even try... and it's not just about politics or social policies. I wonder if we would be better off by building incentives for people to qualify themselves during their entire lifetime or at least for as long as they have a right to vote.
interpolation isn't the only difference between single- and double-quoted strings. If you need control, etc., characters via backslash escapes, you must use double (or semantic equivalents like %/%Q). If you need non-eyesore strings with literal backslashes, you need single (or semantic equivalents like %q.)

Makes me feel like people are just fed up with all the bullshit that's out there. A lot of people who feel like misinformation is a problem we can make progress on don't think censorship is the solution. It's a hard problem, and it's an unsolved one. Griping about it increases the pressure on people to find solutions.

How does this help with information overload? It looks like a new channel of information to add to the existing flows. What am I missing?

If it's reporters notes (like the site says) it means what consumers get isn't distilled into the flow of a story that informs. That is left up to people who consume to do and to do that they need to get all the details. Sounds overwhelming to me. Or, am I missing something?

Psychologists can, but most drug addicts suffer from avoidant personality disorder, which is regarded as the single most difficult psychological disorder to work with.

In my undergrad at UNSW I did a "baby's first interpreter" project on a language with a similar concept - function evaluation is defined in terms of unbounded-length arrays, being able to cache function evaluation for performance etc.

I spend a long time getting requirements for a job. Then a couple of days reading documentation and slowly coding my way into a bunch of corners resulting in code that doesn't work. So after 3-4 days of "working" on a project, I'll actually get into a groove where I can knock out a decent app or tool in about two days. Then add another day for testing and documentation. With fixes needing to be made here and there, that means two good days of coding (and a couple days of bad coding that might be thrown away) for two weeks.

If I start spending a lot of my time coding, that means I'm running off without getting requirements, or I'm stuck with a problem I don't know how to make progress on. So for me this is a good cadence.
While it's hard to predict the number of people who will travel outside their communities, I'd say the packed highways, airports, and buses during past holiday seasons mean that number's pretty high.

There was definitely meaningful involvement by the Trump campaign in Russia's efforts to undermine the 2016 election.

One example...

5. June 9, 2016 Meeting at Trump Tower

On June 9, 2016, senior representatives of the Trump Campaign met in Trump Tower with
a Russian attorney expecting to receive derogatory information about Hillary Clinton from the
Russian government. The meeting was proposed to Donald Trump Jr. in an email from Robert
Goldstone, at the request of his then-client Emin Agalarov, the son of Russian real-estate developer
Aras Agalarov. Goldstone relayed to Trump Jr. that the “Crown prosecutor of Russia . . . offered
to provide the Trump Campaign with some official documents and information that would
incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia” as “part of Russia and its government’s support
for Mr. Trump.” Trump Jr. immediately responded that “if it’s what you say I love it,” and arranged
the meeting through a series of emails and telephone calls.

At the same time, that wasn't enough evidence to charge most members of the Trump campaign under existing laws.

C. Russian Government Outreach and Contacts

As explained in Section IV above, the Office’s investigation uncovered evidence of
numerous links (i.e., contacts) between Trump Campaign officials and individuals having or
claiming to have ties to the Russian government. The Office evaluated the contacts under several
sets of federal laws, including conspiracy laws and statutes governing foreign agents who operate
in the United States. After considering the available evidence, the Office did not pursue charges
under these statutes against any of the individuals discussed in Section IV above—with the
exception of FARA charges against Paul Manafort and Richard Gates based on their activities on
behalf of Ukraine.

> Why introduce a new concept to solve the problems that have been solved before?

Well, let me try and answer that -- I use istio in production and the reason I use it instead of, for instance, managing 30+ .p12's for each individual java service that needs to talk to an external api via mtls (not to mention all of those plus the 20 or so others which all automatically get mtls 'in-mesh') is because it's an absolute shitload easier to manage.

Is it complicated? Yes. Is it more complicated than orcestrating the cfgmgt to achieve the same thing via more traditional methods? No.

Don't get me wrong, I have my problems with istio:

* Until about 1.5 the docs were at best sparodic.

* Finding out how to handle things like talking to an entpoint that does some ssl renegotiation without crapping out is still not easy

* The configuration / yaml spec for the various options is not simple to write

However, those are really offset by what we get by using it. I have logs of every external api call my entire estate (a big complicated one) makes, I get automatic tracing, I can do some really cool shit like mirror traffic to a standby pod to do a/b testing, none of my serivces need credentials for mtls calls baked into them (they just call http and 'magic' happens on the egress).

End of the day, it's a tool. If you don't need it, don't use it. This article comes across like it was written in the same vein as the old man screaming "get off my lawn".
Constant painting is also a sign of efficiency.

Rather than a large number of people painting it for a small period of time, which requires a startup and close down overhead; they have instead resourced it so that they can keep a small number of people employed permenantly who accumulate expertise and minimise the mobilisations costs.
So somewhere inside Apple there must have been a Skunkworks project to "put the iPad chip in a laptop" or something right? Someone has to have thought of it. I can't wait to read about the folklore entry for this ten years from now.

What I don't understand is why google is intentionally excluding .swf results from search results. Okay, fine, you don't want it in Chrome that's your choice. But not indexing .swf in your search engine product because you don't support it in your browser product is crazy. It's going out of their way, doing more work, to hurt people.

I guess this is just another example of being unable to count on profit motivated corporations. It's a good thing the IA is trying to help.
The original POSIX subsystem was not very useful -- a minimal set of system calls, plus a Microsoft re-branded MKS Toolkit to provide shells and utilities.

Microsoft ended up buying Interix, who offered a much more pleasant UNIX-on-Windows setup. That was supported for many years as "SFU" and later "SUA"

SUA was still a pretty weird UNIX though. PE-COFF binaries, and a linker that wasn't 100% GNU compatible, and a lot of other little oddities. Porting software to SUA was never very much fun.

I assume that was the motive for WSL -- same idea as SUA, but less weird for software ports.
To play devil's advocate, Hunter Biden allegedly left his laptop at a repair shop in Delaware, and an alarming amount of former intelligence officials came out and bizarrely stated that, in spite of having no evidence of it, they believed there was Russian involvement. [1]

If that's not setting off bullshit alarm bells in your head, I don't think anything will. No, it's not reasonable to believe that Russia is responsible for someone leaving their private property at a repair shop. But people eat that garbage up because they like to hear it. So much so that it even was seriously mentioned in one of the debates. That doesn't change the fact that it makes no sense.

Republicans have not-so-fringe QAnon and Dominiongate weirdos. They're insane. Democrats have not-so-fringe Russia conspiracy theorists. They're dumb.

The only way to narrow the whole spectrum of misinformation is to call things fairly when we see them. Nothing is ever going to get solved unless people are able to critique the fringe of their own side as strongly as they critique the fringe of the other side.

I agree with the sentiment but, some scenarios have become orders of magnitude more complicated on WSL2 like connecting to a daemon on Windows or vice versa. I understand clear cut security boundaries and separate network interfaces, but it's extremely hard to get them running smoothly now. Everything was on localhost on WSL1.

Memory usage has also gone bonkers with the VM approach, causing unnecessary overhead for casual users who don't need performance.

> It's to improve those critical rationality skills and the ability to analyze information

You're assuming the majority of people are bamboozled by bias and propaganda, and if they were better educated they'd be immune.

But it's just as likely that they'll continue to believe what suits them regardless of rationality training. Assessing sources and analyzing information is hard work. So is thinking, and it's especially difficult if the results go against the beliefs of your social group.

I'm not convinced that critical thinking skills will make the slightest bit of difference to the vast majority of people .
I feel the same way about computer science majors. (At least, the vast majority of them who go into programming, rather than pure theoretical computer science.) Aside from a tiny minority who get to write infrastructure, whose customers are other programmers, the vast majority of programmers will be employed in some domain.

I'd rather see programmers have any outside experience... even literature or music or one of those other fields we often deride. The people who majored in that field are likely to be our customers, and when we don't know how they work, we won't be able to serve their needs.

At the very least, every programmer should have a minor in some other field. (And ideally not everybody going into the same physics or math fields.)

I've got a similar anecdote from when I was around the same age.

That's a distinction without consequence. Your comment is about media companies "dictating" things; social media just trades the editorial desk for Facebook's opaque newsfeed algorithm, or the faceless Reddit hivemind, or Twitter's endless sea of bots. All that matters is reach, and social media has traditional media outnumbered and outgunned.
