Imho, this is a much weaker form of device sharing than e.g. Linux accounts, where every user is treated equally.
I think the only long-term answer to this is based on two main things:

1. Hiring process focus on hiring someone you can trust. If you cannot trust someone who will join your company, then there is almost nothing you can do and still remain a healthy (mental and cultural) environment to work. Lack of trust is a very very dangerous thing happening inside teams and recovering from it takes a lot of money and effort.

Also trust starts first from leadership. If you/your leaders/managers are not trusting their employees they cannot build trust between themselves. So please hire people you think you can trust first so that you will not spend most of your time imagining what might go wrong.

2. Close relation with your colleague. If you will create an environment where you have a close relation with your colleagues then it is very hard for them to cheat and will probably not think about doing it.

On the other side let me ask you back another question: Does it really matter who is doing the work (your employee or their hired "assistants") if the work done is qualitative and solves your problem? Imagine that instead of employees you will have contractors?

If those who are unhealthy or have worse dietary practices are experiencing higher fatality rates, why should the rest of us be subject to harsh lockdowns, restricted from gatherings, and restricted from patronizing businesses? This feels to be like more evidence as to why individuals should be free to assess risks and decide how they want to act. Those who are risk averse or unhealthy or vulnerable can self isolate indefinitely if needed.

How do you register a domain? Can I do this without using JS and Google knowing? What's that, I need to do a Captcha and use my real information so that if I post ANYTHING someone doesn't like I can be shot in the head once they find me via WHOIS which every LEA on the planet has access to?

"Open", sure.

This game has been my side project for a few months, and I'm finally just about ready to call it finished. Please let me know what you think!

It's built in Unity, and hosted in GCP Cloud Storage (Mainly because it's the easiest way to use Google's CDN for edge caching).

I think it's misleading to say ITERs technology is 30 years behind. A lot of the tech that has been going into the ITER design didn't exist 30 years ago! They didn't anticipate developments in super conductors but this is by no means a 90s machine built 30 years too late.

Part of the role of ITER was to fund the research to develop the reactor's components while giving everyone a concrete goal to work towards. The challenge with ITER is much more than construction.

Why Raku Is the Ideal Language for Advent of Code – Daniel Sections
Thanks, that really is convincing.
Are you speaking from personal experience with ITER? You've said some damning things about projects in general but there's no backup for:

"crushing engineers pitilessly under the weight of the bureaucracy"

"Elements of the ITER project have been planned 30 years ahead"

"There is no possible path through ITER and then DEMO to achieve commercial power generation before 2050. None"

"ITER used a legacy superconducting wire in their designs"

Further

> Because planning ahead is required, only existing, established technologies can be used.

You can't plan to use nonexisting technologies when that tech (superconductivity) was so very little understood.

Your criticisms seem unwarranted and unverifiable.
That’s the obvious question that’s specifically raised as unanswered in all of these studies.

But given the risks of supplementing vitamin D are about as close to zero as you can get it seems likely it’s worth the gamble that it’s a causal link.

If you’re right, various severely beneficial health effects and potentially protection from one cause of death. If you’re wrong... fewer beneficial health effects?
Interesting how this person who was apparently complaining about being oppressed now oppressed himself. Like that comic about the guy sticking a rod in his own wheel.

Thanks, Thomas! The #1 issue is that a singular entry point simply doesn't exist, largely because of the sheer number of different projects, platforms and use cases involved. The interactive tag cloud was supposed to be the main starting point mechanism, allowing users to explore projects by topic. Yet, somehow this doesn't seem to register with people (at all)... Also, all the timelines have tooltips, are clickable and take you to their respective project pages.

Comparisons with tools like Processing/OF aren't right or fair either, because they focus on a much smaller feature range and then rely on external plugins to expand scope. thi.ng projects have a bias (in terms of percentage of sub-projects) towards data structures, geometry and graphics, but, at large, ALSO cover the "full stack" (arrrgh!!) via tools for: baremetal programming (e.g. on Cortex M4/7 ARM devices), functional & reactive programming, data processing (transducers, datastructures, querying), there're several DSLs & general DSL tooling for creating new ones (parser generators, interpreters, transpilers, VMs), audio/DSP (signal generators, oscillators, filters), file format support (importers, exporters) to UI (for web, desktop, in multiple languages)... Also don't forget most of these libraries are independent. So I'm genuinely, genuinely wondering how one would distill this into a traditional landing page setup? Also, how this is comparable to say P5? It isn't, not even close!

What this discussion has brought out and confirmed again (to me, at least) is the commodification of ideas and the explicit expectation of ideas packaged into easily consumed products. Products, which can be consumed and need to provide a quick sale, regardless of conceptual depth (or breadth in this case)... it's a little sad to see! By that logic I'd need to create 250 websites... and there also somewhat are already: Most projects have their own URL (e.g. http://thi.ng/transducers, http://thi.ng/morphogen etc.)

I'm really not trying to be defensive (even if it might come across as such, merely trying to provide more subtlety & context to some of the comments). I'm thankful & there's a lot of food for thought how to approach the next phase of development, but I'm honestly surprised by some of the comments (esp. from this crowd)
I'd be interested to know if this is true of all comparative AudioVisual experiences, that being that 'live', an event, with other people, is always the more memorable.

It probably is the case, but comorbidities are being ignored in favor of crisis-exploiting political narratives as to how systemic racism is causing disproportionate impact to African Americans. However, it is worth noting that comorbidities are also an issue more broadly across the entire American populace. Obesity rates are above 40%. And so is vitamin D deficiency. And in fact obesity worsens vitamin D deficiency (https://www.livescience.com/26961-obesity-causes-vitamin-d-d...).
They trained on 170k sequences/ structures/ proteins, each sequence has 10s to 100s or even 1000s amino acids. Structure is much more conserved than sequence. Out of the 100 targets, roughly 1/4th have no similarity to known structures, so there shouldn't be an overlap for those with the training set. They did very well on those targets.
What's a "hot take"?

I agree with the answer above. You need to pour a fair bit of effort into getting on an Olympiad team. Whether you get a PhD is more a question of economics, IMO. If you're showing that much promise there will be many other temptations, and bear in mind it's not just rich countries that have math kids, there's plenty of olympiad kids who need to get out and make money when they've done their degrees.

The kind of work you do in a PhD is also quite different. A math contest is a few questions with definite answers and a time limit.
This is why we have to fight against it at a much lower level. HTTPS is a prime example of this. It effectively "locks" the data channel or pipe from the source (FB/Instagram/Google servers) to your viewing device (screen, and in a lot of cases, locked-down web-browser) making it effectively a dumb terminal. If MITM-type techologies were allowed to exist safely and controlled by the user, we could be seeing a proliferation of an ecosystem geared around breaking and integrating-with the walled-gardens. I'd go out on a limb and say that HTTPS is one of the biggest hurdles we face when it comes to keeping the web open. With it firmly in-place, we are forced to beg for "scraps" in terms of these walled-gardens giving us API/Integration points.

Edit. Grammar.
Thanks for the answer! That explains it. I was looking just at the amino acid sequence and missing a whole lot.

I read the protein folding and X-ray crystallography articles on Wikipedia and they had most of the answers I was looking for. I also saw a request being made by this JavaScript 3D viewer to fetch the PDB (Protein Data Bank) file for the model, which is a text file with tens of thousands of lines describing the coordinates of atoms in space as well as their bonds and other structures. It even has some metadata about the way the data was collected.

For the spike protein linked above: http://files.rcsb.org/view/6X6P.pdb

I find it fascinating that we're even able to scan the 3D structure of molecules with such precision.
Had a few issues creating a new channel:

- filled in the new channel form

- had to sign up

- put in email. woops that was the login form. Clicked log in, email disappeared

- refilled form, got email. Email says "evechat" not "everchat"

- followed link. channel wasn't created, had to do it again
The examples cited always turn out to be entirely made up.
But everything else is not equal, is it? Ignoring material conditions is "assume a spherical cow in a vacuum" levels of bad analysis.

Even at that, using intensive care unit counts as the metric worth paying attention to in a public health crisis seems rather off; public health is and should be the domain of the community, not of the hospitals. To be fair, "how likely are people to do what they're supposed to to protect their communities" is far trickier to measure than just counting hospital beds.
Sounds like it's having trouble allocating memory for the stack and stack guard. Whatever limit it's hitting though, Linux seems to be able to handle it correctly, which is to kill the process instead of a kernel panic.
Counterpoint: Moving to ARM and custom silicon is a way to unify their iOS device line with their Mac lines.

The Mac may not be an afterthought, but I suspect it will eventually become an "iPad XL" with a keyboard. The Mac will move further from being a general-purpose computing device and more toward being an appliance. I'm sure they'll still allow you to run XCode and Photoshop, but maybe not Wireshark or VPN software[0]?

It's about ~300 lines of Scala and runs in the browser via Scala.js. The page has a link to the source code. Could definitely be sped up or improved in a myriad of ways, but even as is I think the output graphic is pretty impressive given the input code size and programmer effort!
Most guides I read tell you that you should not enabled DEDUP unless you know what you are doing and it will use a lot of ram.

This is a bad-faith argument used by ethically dubious people to justify their shady business practices. Perhaps that's you, or perhaps you've spent too long listening to them. In any case, it's not an argument to take seriously and certainly not one that merits in-depth discussion.

It's slang for "unsubstantiated opinion likely to incite controversy". Weird how this word started appearing everywhere suddenly in the last few months.

Then why keep all this money in the hand of unhappy people (who mostly hoard it)? Does unhappiness help with capital allocation? Could concentrating wealth in the hands of a few cause unhappiness and trouble both their owner nor the rest of society (who would do better if they had more control)?
Right now you're at school though (i.e. not working in the field?). I wonder how much better it will end up being after a couple years of practicing it. When I look at HVAC techs, I see guys with supreme health and stamina - for example, one that came to my house worked sweating for a long time in front of a AC fan blowing coldish air straight on his forehead (he was trying to diagnose some malfunction in the fan). I know I would be sick in bed for a couple of weeks after an hour of that...
The grade 1 element is not the normal vector of the plane, it is the plane itself (as a homogeneous linear form, it includes the distance from the origin as an extra coefficient, which the normal vector does not).

Linear equations form a linear space, you can add them and multiply them with scalars. (creating things called line-pencils, plane-bundles etc .. classic projective geometry). Hence you call the grade-1 elements of the graded version of such a linear space 'vectors'. (just like you can make vector spaces with functions or all other sorts of objects).

So the reflection formula from GA in general, which is to reflect an arbitrary element X w.r.t. a grade-1 element a :

-aXa

is simply to be read as reflecting the object 'X' in the plane (3D) or line (2D) or sphere (3D CGA) or circle (2D CGA) 'a'.

Such a reflection should modify all other reflections, except for itself (where it should only flip orientation) :

-aaa = -a

It is easy to verify that this holds for general Euclidean planes written as homogeneous linear equations in their grade-1 element form.
And from that everything else follows. (composition of reflections gives you rotations/translations (leaving points invariant in 2D), etc).

Planes being grade 1 elements in no way implies characterizing them by a normal vector.
I have a Surface Pro 7 from work and honestly it's not even half a MacBook. The OS is particularly poor, as is the battery life. The Mac is a better frontend for Windows sessions through Citrix than a literal Windows device is-- gestures, scrolling, trackpad predictability, etc. I could not give two craps about the cameras. I don't use my laptop as a camera. If I need a high-quality camera, I'll attach one. If I have to do a video call without preparation, the receiver can deal with a "mere" 720p. Would I welcome a 4k cam on a Mac? Sure, if it's free, why not? I'd rather have a microSD reader tho.
> That smells like authoritarianism.

It might surprise you that the entire world is not the US, with a huge "muh freedom" fetish that somehow transcends good sense in every conversation. Just because you don't like it when people judge others for ethically reprehensible practices does not mean that suddenly they're "authoritarian". Even if it did, that wouldn't be a bad thing. Keeping society ethical is hard work and sometimes that means calling people out on their bullshit.

that way the next will be our old method of "hot potato vapor inhalation" - actually a pretty successful method of getting well in flu-like cases used in childhood - you cover your head with a blanket over the pot of freshly boiled potatoes and breath for several minutes. Kind of sauna effect limited to the upper torso and the insides of the throat/lungs (potatoes also contain some natural biologically active substances, antibiotics, etc., including even ethanol and some toxins, so may be that had some effect too). Of course starting upper teenager years it became just sauna with hot tea (on couple occasions 2-3 hours in hot sauna ("banya") got me back from flu like condition of around 39 C degree body temp back to normal by the end of the day) and in the latter years some ethanol (drinking, not inhaling :) was added into the mix too.

Note: IANAD, all of the above is just anecdotes from personal experience, don't try at home, etc. Even Russian Internet is full of recommendations where hot boiled water isn't removed from the pot before the inhalation - that is a different approach and carries major risks of getting burned and whatever else. Sauna (especially with alcohol) carries its own bunch of risks too.
Getting a bootable system is quite easy actually. Build a kernel, build a static busybox, install grub. Thats almost it. Maybe build iw and wpa_supplicant, if you want wireless.
You can get to a bootable system within an hour or so.

But anything beyond that is a maze of vaguely specified dependencies. LFS was a good starting point, but i havent checked it for a while and I'm not sure it kept up with all the recent(ish) developments in distro building.
Not sure why you're being downvoted, it's completely true!
If the SSD in my computer dies, I can just buy another one for cheap (500GB for what, 80 dollars?).

If the SSD in my Macbook/Mac Mini dies, either I can buy a new motherboard, or more likely, a new device. It is not economical nor ecological.

Also, paying 200 dollars for additional 256GB of storage? WTF.
My laptop screen is about as the same thickness as my phone (OnePlus 3), which has a front-facing camera that is unimaginably better than the one in my laptop. The border on the top of the screen is also wide enough to fit it and in fact the camera inside of the laptop is only marginally smaller than the one in my phone (I've unfortunately had to take both apart enough times that I'm quite certain of this).

It's definitely not a physics issue. Just like the painfully slow barely USB 2.0 SD card reader that laptops include, despite costing a couple grand and having a 20Gpbs link literally right next to it, it is a cost issue.
The attempt to regulate ICT in Kenya
For my startup [0] we have a slack community where we ask people to come engage with us and give us feedback on the product and how it can work better for them. We love it. Teams usually want their own private channel so they can discuss things more openly with us, post screenshots that may have stuff they don't want spread around publicly (we're a product management tool/issue track so teams has sensitive stuff stored with us). The only issue we have is some people have a lot of slack workspaces already and don't want to add yet another (which is totally understandable coming from a guy with 10 or so Slack workspaces right now).

Does Everchat have ambitions to be this kind of private community where companies can interact with their users, etc or is the target something else?

I came to the opposite conclusion. I think most users than expected paid for the 16GB models, leaving extra inventory of the 8GB modules. During black Friday/Cyber monday I saw several discounts on 8GB M1 systems, but none on the 16GB systems.

Hopefully that sends a message to apple to build systems with more memory. Seems insane to invest in a expensive M1 system (once you add storage, 3 year warranty, etc) and get only 8GB. Even it works well today, with a useful life of 3-6 years seems likely the extra 8GB will have significant value over the life of the system... even if it's just to reduce wear on the storage system.
or just use openwrt.org - there is x86/x64 and uefi support and it should only need 4-5mbyte with squashfs root :)

The point is that they didn't come from some "Chess Prodigy" family. There wasn't some "talent" laying there that they picked up. And, even among the sisters, Judit wasn't the one with the most "talent".

Judit's level and achievements were due to training and persistence.

Yes, they didn't forced you to use facebook, but try to explain to anyone now why you have no presence on social network and people start looking strange at you. Landlord asking four your FB account, your employer asking for your linkedin or border-guard asking to show your latest posts. And yes no one forced you to use FB, but life gets more and more inconvenient if you don't use them. Hell, bought oculus when it was FB free, and try to use it without FB.

Vitamin D deficient people usually have other deficiencies as well, pinning it down to D is textbook causation-correlation mixup.

As TFA says, it "may" account for it. Or may not. You need a control group with D (but no other) deficiency to upgrade from "may" to "does".
