This a thousand times. This is one of the biggest issues in how we’ve set society up, yet no politician wants to bring it up because it’s harder to sell than “everyone should own a home”.

Young far left wingers really should know that it’s not Jeff bezos who is taking all your money or inequality that’s the issue, it’s the low interest rates set by government, subsidized loans, and banks pushing up home prices as a result.

Rising home prices are not a good thing, and are a symptom of a hugely distorted financial system. Which gets rescued whenever it fucks up. But again, it’s the government doing that, not “the rich”. With the exception of crooked bankers of course, who should rightly be in jail but aren’t.
I was developing a way to easily configure the CRM app we had on my previous job, and eventually came up with my own BPMN execution engine that started to look like just a low code platform for anything.

This is an example how a customer record for a CRM app can be configured visually. It's both the record manipulation and a conversation script in one, just for demo purposes.
Short of a switch that is sticky when powered off, or a design that comes up muted... or excessive wizardry to persist state, this is non-negotiable, though.

This looks promising. I would be interested to learn more about the experience you have had while building this service.

Yesterday, I released https://goart.netlify.app It's an experiment at using WASM-compiled Go code to create complex generative art drawings in the browser. Sounds cool, but I have had quite a few unexpected issues while building it. Especially, the part about having to use Web Workers to do the communication to and from the WASM instance.

> Unless it's a physical bounce switch that actually disconnects power mechanically

That's literally what you're looking at.

The schmitt-trigger and the DFFs debounce the switch in hardware, and then the FET that controls the power input to the microphone also controls the power input to the LED. What do you want, a relay?

Firmware can only reset the DFFs (which does turn on the microphone), but it can't change the physically coupled LED / mic-power behavior.
While it is great that we have real scientific research made available to the common man, as too much is locked up in journals and whatnot, it would be a mistake to dumb it down for the ordinary man.

There are many talented journalists around the world who is much better suited for this task, and there is no shortage of popular science everywhere from web sites to TV documentaries. These science journalists are dependent on research being available, and meta-analyses such as the IPCC report are very suitable to them.

IPCC has the dual purpose of also being an input to international environment negotiations, so they do tend to make their material more accessible than others, but it has so far managed to stay foremost a scientific organisation.

Is there any tips on how to make IPv6 easier to use for typical day-to-day network administration? One advantage of using IPv4 is addresses are easier to memorize, so when you're building a network, you can keep track of everything in your head. I think this might be a major reason people dread setting up an IPv6 network, at least for me.

True. On the other hand, the effectiveness of PrEP is thought to be as low as 74% among people who inject drugs. It might still be possible to find such people for trials. We should still see a statistically significant effect even if they are taking PrEP daily.

> But can you call a theory true if no one understands it?

I understand non-relativistic quantum mechanics, i.e. the Schrodinger equation, so close to perfectly as makes no difference. So do thousands of other physicists.

We don't all understand it in the same way. The atomic scale is removed from the human scale by an order of magnitude of orders of magnitude, they do things differently there, so humans can't appeal to their experience to say that one self-consistent description of atomic phenomena is real and another isn't. But the way I understand quantum mechanics is self-consistent, so is the way any the next physicist understands it, and we'll all agree what result it predicts for any experiment you can imagine. If you want more than that, science can't help you.
I know many will disagree, but I think the commentary on SR&ED killing momentum and motivation in startups is bang on, even though it's a nearly impossible thing to measure or quantify. I'm sure many fellow Canadians reading this comment can relate to the absolute draining feeling when you see that message "remember to update your SR&ED timesheets by the end of the week!".

Time tracking isn't inherently bad, or counterproductive, but I haven't once come across a startup that does their SR&ED reporting with an ounce of honesty. Timesheets are essentially fabricated based on either what the developers think their managers expect to see, or based on what the managers tell them to fill in, and it's entirely understandable - programming is not a job where tracking hours makes sense.

Rather than timesheets, it would make _so_ much more sense if instead, high level but detailed quarterly reports were made outlining what was completed, and if there needs to be more detail, an audit can be done. Timesheets kill productivity, motivation, and curiosity to try new things and accomplish actual research and development - what the SR&ED program is intended for. At the end of the day, it's the implementation of the program and the industry of consultants surrounding it that is flawed.

To me, the value of Philosophy isn't in learning any particular jargon/terminology (any more than learning the jargon of "symmetry groups" is a useful activity) - the value is in the general understanding of the process of how to develop jargon/terminology from first principles. From a physicists' perspective: to develop the language needed to describe/express the physics you are experiencing.

There is certainly an element of wheel re-invention in first principles thinking, but acquiring maker's knowledge seems like a more rewarding endeavour than acquiring only user's knowledge.

This process of creating new languages/jargon has a name in Computer Science: Meta-linguistic abstraction [1], and so the value of Philosophy (to me) is in the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article:

>metalinguistic abstraction is the process of solving complex problems by creating a new language or vocabulary to better understand the problem space.

And so this I find it fascinating when you say that...

>there are certain symmetry groups that seem to apply everywhere we look

Because your meta-language for talking about your experiences is the language of symmetry groups.

Post-structuralism (and all Philosophy, really) is merely an attempt to escape the reductionist nature of that sort of language-centric thinking - it's an attempt to drag us out of the cave of Logocentrism [2]. Mathematics is only up to isomorphism - there's nothing in the symbolic denotation without the human connotation, so if structuralism is about symmetry (equalities) , post-structuralism is about asymmetry (inequalities).

By that logic you would need to call like half of all useful phenomena that most people's lives consist of and depend on, as "man-made delusion". We still need to interact with our lives, and many of the abstractions help us do that.

BTW if you just replace the word "delusion" with "abstraction" you'll probably see how it makes a lot of sense. Every abstraction is a delusion by definition, is it not? Because the abstracted thing doesn't really exist in the same way as source observation?

What hope do those people have then? Especially for future generations? This is radical, right? We're saying that some generation that is alive today has to be the bridge between these two states. Nevermind that they're also reading about the obscene gains in wealth that Musk and Bezos, etc... are supposedly seeing in the meantime, which pushes them further in some direction that likely isn't healthy.

To these folks, you're telling them that their kids are forbidden from earning a living the way that they did. That's not a tough sell, it's a non starter. They believe that their way of life is being attacked and has been taken from them. And a lot of them understand just enough to know that it's been / is being driven by politicians. So, essentially, it's being done by the same people who they would also be told to trust with their futures.

That's rough.

The justification given in many cases of deplatforming is spread of conspiracy theories. While I agree most of them are baseless and ridiculous, I would say, let them expose themselves as ridiculous on their own merits. If you say, but they're a lie!! Then I don't understand why the same criteria is not used with religion, any religion (they're all equally ridiculous and lies, and pry on the vulnerable to extract their money), and other baseless superstition (tarot, astrology, etc).

Imagine in the year 2300, 95% of the population is atheist and they deplatform anyone talking about religion because they're spreading dangerous lies. Imagine if on the year 1400 there was internet, and they would deplatform any atheist debunking religion as spreading dangerous lies. You can find examples in the political realm, imagine in Nazi Germany, or in Stalin Russia, that they would deplatform anyone spreading ideas not aligned with the regime.

Bitcoin whales manipulate the futures market. The liquidity is (or was, maybe) small enough that individual players can move the spot market in the direction they want in order to profit from a futures play. It doesn't take that much (relative to traditional markets)--a year or two ago someone on Bitstamp sold 5000 coins, which was enough to cause a 30% dip/flash crash. Thanks to leverage (some exchanges offer up to 125x), whatever money is lost on the spot market side is made up for in spades.

well if you want an exact emulation of screen behaviour, sure, that may be difficult. but i think you are making this a bit to complicated.

if what matters is that different clients can look at different windows, then using multiple sessions with one window each will get you exactly that.

you may of course need to get used to tmux way of switching sessions (which is not different than tmux way of switching windows). however, i just checked, there is a command to switch to the next session, and you can bind that to a key. add another keybinding to create a new session, and that should get you to about 90% of your expected behaviour without nesting tmux.

> That was literally 1 of two tweets that god him banned

> two tweets

A huge number of commenters here said the obvious "yes, quoting selected tweets was unfortunate when it was clearly not those particular tweets alone that was the cause".

That's still true. It was useless messaging. Ignore the quoted tweets and read the rest. Or read them as (poor) examples only.

There is zero way that the message from Twitter should be interpreted literally as "these two tweets only are what caused Trump to be banned". Anyone who thinks that obviously doesn't interpret their message in a charitable way.
Physical switches for mute are underrated, think of all the conference call time that could be saved (and embarrassing moments avoided) if laptops had physical mute switches.
I'll try. I'm no expert but I read a lot about this and people keep asking me to explain it to them. First of all, there is no way to entirely prevent infections and transmission of something that replicates in poorly perfused (low blood flow in the area) upper airways. The immune system works by carrying stuff to infection sites via blood, and so you need enough blood at the place where the virus is before it can be attacked. That's why nobody is claiming total protection from infection and transmission. However, this is highly misleading - the number of replication cycles before immune response stops further spread is dramatically reduced in a vaccinated person, and therefore both their chances of developing disease, and their chances of passing it on, are severely diminished, and the window of transmission is shortened from days/weeks to hours. So yes, you can theoretically spread it, but once vaccinated you're about as effective at spreading it as a doorknob someone sneezed on, rather than being a walking virus manufacturing factory.

Now, about HIV - HIV is extremely difficult to spread from a single contact (it's got very low virulence) and can be managed very well with treatment, making transmission effectively stop from people in state-of-the-art treatment. However, said treatment is expensive and inconvenient, and has risks of its own, and you need to use it all your life, and it's not available to many people, especially risk groups. By vaccinating people at risk, or large parts of the population, HIV could be eliminated, or dramatically reduced at least, saving the people who would get infected from a life of being medication-dependent, assuming they have access to treatment. So for HIV, a vaccination program won't stop needle sharing and unprotected sex, but will stop people getting even more severe consequences from that. There's a similar vaccination program for hepatitis which has shown excellent results.
