Nitrilean Review, Legit or a Scam?
I read that Pfizer/Biontech is currently testing whether they can go with higher temperatures, but those tests aren't finished yet, because the first priority was to get the patient data, and there they did what they expected will be safest and most likely to work.

It may very well be that later on they'll change the freezing requirement later.
First, a slight technical aside - I'm impressed that you had the opportunity to divert on that trip. Some of my most cherished travel moments have been when, under no particular time constraints or schedule, I've been able to just do something interesting & random. At the risk of sounding churlish, I'm also impressed you were able to walk several hundred more miles in 4 days through a highly mountainous region that's ~500 x ~200 miles in size. (Of course, they'd have been using metric there - 800 x 200 km.) I imagine the area's mostly commons, as far as nomadic farmers are concerned, but they do sound like highly energetic cattle - hopefully they were dairy rather than meat breeds.

Second, evolutionarily speaking I believe humans have adapted to groups (herds) of ~30, but we're all on various spectrums, including the need for social interaction. It's a nice idea that there's a tipping point that any of us could reach where solitude is exclusively sought, but my (anecdotal) experience is that there's plenty of people who, no matter how much time they may be forced to spend with their own thoughts, have no interest in embracing a primarily solo arrangement.

I'm trying to guess your age - you mention people you knew from 30 years ago - so presumably you're 35+, but then you mention 'your own or other people's dads in their 50s' which implies a (conventional) upper limit of ~39. In which case I'm 10-15 years older than you, and can attest to a) a decreasing interest, or perhaps just available energy, in developing new friendships, but also b) an utter delight, absent the 'common struggle' that you think is a prerequisite, when I get to really & properly know someone over the space of many months, and despite subconscious protestations, am led to the ineluctable conclusion I have a new friend.
It’s not thriving in computer science because that field is competing against a tight supply of labor. Compare that to a field where you have an oversupply of PhDs, and I’m sure you’ll find different average experiences.
I think lesswrong is wrong here. I looked at the document that lesswrong links, and I couldn't find any statement about effectiveness of the vaccine in preventing infection after two doses.
The affordable housing one is fun. The sole time I applied for an affordable apartment in Cambridge, MA; my application was rejected because I didn’t make enough money. This is despite the apartment costing a couple hundred less than what I was paying in market rent. I likely would still not have won the lottery for the apartment, but it showed the system really was not designed well for many of us scrounging out a living as the city was moving towards a $100k cap on income for affordable units
That is his opinion, which I disagree. I myself would not consider it 'failed'. Sweeden total death this year is not significantly different compared to previous year.
Yes, I did, and I find the article very disingenous, biased, and intentionally confused (it mixes different problems in other to make the point).

Considering that porn simulates reality (to various degrees), touching somebody else's eye doesn't prove anything. Also a title "very young teen" doesn't prove anything (it's pretty much standard for videos of this genre).

If you want to find abusive videos, you can also find them on YouTube, which has been criticized as well, for the same reasons.

The legal/moral issue is how the hosting company handles them. The author of the article mentions a low report rate, but he did not investigate the possibility that PornHub makes reporting difficult or ineffective.

Ultimately, the article is intentionally ideological, and not factual, because a real investigation may hurt the point. Here's how disconnected from reality the author is:

> The problem goes far beyond one company. Indeed, a rival of Pornhub, XVideos, which arguably has even fewer scruples, may attract more visitors. Depictions of child abuse also appear on mainstream sites like Twitter, Reddit and Facebook. And Google supports the business models of companies that thrive on child molestation.
> but srsly, don't you feel music is just becoming a pasteurized smear of the 'same' ?

Yes, but only the 'popular' music that's forced on me at every opportunity. It's a great big smear that bleeds in and through itself unless it's just one big scab with slightly different colours in slightly different areas.

The music I choose to listen to, both old and modern, both the new to me and also the familiar, is widely varying. I feel like I have ADD when it comes to musical taste. In creating a 'playlist for right now' I'll get bored of a song that's up next because I've scrolled on to a different artist and already started playing their songs in my head and want to listen to them NOW instead of the song I choose three minutes ago. World music, rock, jazz, blues, electronic, psychedelic, I love music crossing all these boundaries and want to fit them all in.

As such, I truly don't understand the acceptance, by seemingly most of society, of the bland sameness (smear) of the 'top 40'. But it's human laziness and 'better things to do'.

'They' obviously don't feel it in their souls like I do, like we do. And I pity them what they're missing.
That's an interesting argument. Personally, I don't think I agree, i.e. I feel very differently (though e.g. typical Haskell is an example of being too dense for me too). But I can't currently capture the feeling in more concrete words. That said, if we're both now speaking about what we feel, did I manage to at least succesfully counter your argument about this being illogical? ;)

One question came to my mind that I'm curious what's your take on, from the point of view you present: what's your opinion on notations such as: numbers (i.e. 123 vs. English language: hundred twenty three), and chemical formulas (e.g. H2O vs. English language: particle of water)?

Not pointless, but not definitive, either. To some extent, all Max pilots will now be primed for this, but the effect will probably dissipate over time.

For all I know, the benefits of this effect, as a function of time and whatever other factors are relevant, may well be well-studied and amenable to modeling. Perhaps one possible source of data for such studies would be measurements of reaction times in training and proficiency-check simulator sessions, where no single issue is under scrutiny.
That's a bit of apples and oranges. JS/WASM are runtimes executing hostile code, whereas Go apps are trusted code.
All I have learned from this conversation is that you personally think you can demolish careful detailed work by actual scholars (that I doubt you even read) with a simplistic reading of an single graph, likely to support your pre-conceived ideas about the world and/or your political biases.

The stated problem requires returning the smallest integer greater than 0 in the list. 0 will only be the running minimum if only non-positive numbers have been seen so far, and since i is greater than zero in the condition, if minimum == 0 it means i is the first positive integer we’ve seen, so even though i > minimum (i > 0) we need to swap i as the minimum at that point.

I play Cello since I was a kid.

1) I's easier to rest my hand on the stand and annotate if there is enough thickness to support the paper, especially if the stand is a hollow wireframe. If it's a lone sheet of paper, I tend to just lay it flat against my cello and annotate there (and I must be careful not to mark the wood underneath the paper).

2) Correct. But so do good bindings, to a lesser extent. Many bindings aren't easy to lay flat, though.

3) That depends. If you play the piano, a whole collection of studies sure will be heavy. But a melodic instrument playing a focused piece you will go through? No heavier than separate sheets: you'll use them all anyway.

4) That issue is mitigated by most good editions, where the bottom right corner of the right page is a pause long enough to let you turn. I've seen many poor editions that could be laid out properly, but weren't.

> 100% of people who heard my song in background of John Streamer’s Minecraft speedrun are capable of enjoying music for its own sake.

Why doesn't the streamer use their marketing power to promote independent musicians that don't have big record label deals then? That would be even better because successful independent musicians weaken the music industry and could lead to more competition.
This. Unicode is the new ASCII. One should avoid, of course, the fancy corners of Unicode (such as the private use area, emojis, hieroglyphs, etc.) unless specific to the use case. But the use of well established Unicode code pages in READMEs should be no problem for temporary text editors at all.
> The error was not in the concept of the MAX nor the concept of the MCAS.

The reason MCAS was introduced in the first place was because the platform that Boeing chose to extend (to avoid recertification requirements) was unstable as a result of the introduction of CFM's new LEAP engines.

They insisted on correcting an emergent hardware defect with software in order to reuse an old platform to compete against a surprise threat from Airbus rather than design an inherently safe, novel platform.

All to save time and money getting to production.

I think the point is that you should use Longer names where possible.

Powershell’s Set-Location is better than shell’s cd.

Invoke-Webrequest is better than curl.

npm install —-global is better than npm i -g.

There was a need for names to be short forty years ago. We don’t have that anymore.

You might know that you’re dealing with x, y coordinates but how do I know there is no z?

Senior developers tell me to fix the problem in the correct spot. We can have aliases but the default should be long names.
There's liking music and then there's nostalgia. I think they're two different things but they both sound the same.

If a person only likes the music of their generation then they don't like music, they like nostalgia.

There's music I liked as I was growing up, loved in fact, but listening to it now is like listening to myself talking about "what I want to be when I grow up"; it's a child's narrow perspective of the world. Some music that I liked I'm embarrassed by, although I understand it was a journey to my musical appreciation of today, and so I'm deeply thankful for its part in that journey.

I'm not a particularly nostalgic person, so I'm immune to that effect of music, so I think I can offer a somewhat more objective viewpoint.

I'm reading this and wondering if a small cooling fan would destroy the potential usefulness of the device, and, if I could passively cool a Pi and this hat, whether the secondary problem of the regular coal-train service with 78 wagons, that runs the other side of the valley (say 1.2km away) every 3-4 hours, would either a) make it pointless or b) register.
Personally, I'm most content and productive when alone. Even having my overly friendly cat around (love em to death), can throw me off and drain my mental/physical energy.

I rarely open up to others outside of our group/online/irl, but with that said, I love my tight knit group of friends as if they're brothers and sisters, and I don't know where or who I'd be today without them. We've all openly shared and continue to share that sentiment to this day. Speaking for myself, growing together in our late teens/early 20s till now (early 30s) has been one of the best experiences in life and one of the most important factors to my personal development/growth. Not only have we been supportive of one another through thick and thin, but we've also helped one another to acknowledge and be critical of our individual faults, perspectives, project concepts/execution, but always backing with constructive feedback that has only helped each other flourish.

Over the years some have gotten married, moved into some big/high visibility positions, received public recognition for their work, left the city (nyc) to find peace of mind, have financial independence, have relative stability in career, have faced chaos in career, struggled with addictions, went to rehab, had near death experiences, faced incredible family tensions, dealt with loss of loved ones, the whole gamut. But we've all always been there for one another through all of it, unconditionally and without judgement. Whenever we meet up (or nowadays connect via online game or video chat) between everyone's hectic schedules, it's as if no time has passed since we last hungout/spoke, and without hesitation the ball busting commences.

I'm an introvert who, pre-March stayed inside all weekend, and post-March for a week or so at a time recharging, and am not what one would call a "people person" (not a misanthrope, just more comfortable outside of social/noisy settings, otherwise I need headphones and ambient/Warp Records music to focus). And about half of us in our group are introverts, but when we hit each other up and time permits, we're there.

It's hard to find these kinds of friends, and before meeting any of them, I felt more or less alone in the world in thoughts, interests, etc, and figured I'd just live in my own company with all the feelings and limitations that come with that. But I was wrong to think of or to be fine with that. It's corny/cliche to say, but friends like them can't be sought out, forced, or "networked", they come naturally and unexpectedly in chance moments, at the right time, in the right setting. And when you find them, you'll know and will see that they're invaluable and inimitable in so many positive ways, and that together, through giving/sharing each other's thoughts/sentiments/perspectives/concepts/kindness/humor/honesty/love/etc, everyone has something to give and to gain just in the name of doing so.
This. Readme files should be readable by anyone. That's one of the promises in the filename (it is readable ;) ). There is a reason readme files are not PDF files.
I agree. The decline of Boeing started with the merger with McDonald Douglas. Douglas, was famously lead by bean counters to Boeing's engineering driven culture. And the bean counters won.

I think it can be done without having to obsolete previous hardware. I'm not saying to stop performance improvement, just that it could be done more responsibly, to avoid a system of growth and short lifecycle for profit motives.
It's the epitome of wooden language.

Your example is very good for proving my point; the expression "without content" talks about what? about the content? So you would say "content without content" to speak about a text that does not have substantial content?

I have seen Intel from both the technical side and the customer side. From a technical perspective, they are solid, diligent, but slow. They used to do a lot themselves, including IP blocks, simulators, timing tools, etc. I believe they are trying to adopt more modern design flows to keep up with the rest of the industry in terms of costs and schedules.

As a customer, I tried buying compute sticks in large quantities (i.e. 1000s) from a distributor but they would not extend pricing discounts until Intel approved them. In order to get approved, I had to take online training classes and quizes Intel offered. It was insane. No other company I dealt with required anything like that. I spent hours doing online training on their solutions and never was able to arrange a single discount. Finally said screw it and went with a different solution. Hands down the worst company I dealt with.
I disagree (on the worth of the article and its presence here); I think it's important to separate the subject and conclusion (which we might not like) from the thoughtfulness of its consideration, which seems perfectly abundant here.
In a WASM + seccomp implementation, the whole WASM runtime runs inside seccomp. Breaking out of WASM leaves one running arbitrary asm inside seccomp, which has exactly the same attack surface as directly running untrusted binaries inside seccomp. The WASM layer in WASM + seccomp simply requires an additional exploit.
I think you’re referring to seccomp-bpf. seccomp has never been escaped and it is unlikely such a bug could happen due its simplicity. If you do not know the difference between seccomp and seccomp-bpf, please check references: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seccomp
I think the reason could be that the FAA made mistakes too. Like how did they approve of the design in the first place? They were made part of a cover-up process from the beginning.

Instead of adding features, I wish they could invest in cmake's documentation. It's really subpart and does not help users to get a clear idea of how some basic features work, neither do they present examples of how Cmake is designed to be used.

I feel cmake's appalling docs are the main reason why so many Cmake projects are god-awful messes that even fail to try to follow the "modern Cmake" conventions which is modern in name only as it's already made available since the inception of Cmake 3.

Probably true. However, Apple and Netflix are now heavily in the content business. So maybe content + distribution is the true winner.

I think something is very wrong if safety of any system is dependent on reacting to any failure within 10 seconds, without any error whatsoever.

I know pilots and piloting is on the extraordinary end of the spectrum but, isn't this stretching it a bit too much?

This has been done multiple times. Amateur radio satellites and some cubesat kits [1] use primarily COTS components.

The lifetime and radiation environment for those applications are very limited, though. It seems that for short missions (e.g. <2 years) and low orbits (<500km), COTS hardware should be fine if properly shielded.

It would be interesting to see what difference it actually makes for HEO or even BEO missions, especially if a high degree of redundancy is introduced as well.

I'm known as a strong proponent for keeping code DRY (see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4LbUv5FsGQ), but even I sometimes advocate just copying and modifying code. Sometimes two simple pieces of code are less work/maintenance/mental-burden than one overly generalized/parameterized/complicated piece of code. As the number of copies grows, then the balance of the trade off shifts.
