This reminds me of the Rust "community". They exhibit a lot of this toxic positivity, often to the determent of the discussion. I wonder what drives people to harm themselves and others like this.

From time to time I have this ridiculously fantasy that some day a guy like Zuckerberg or Dorsey will live a day like this one:

" I am sorry sir, but we cannot serve you lunch here, the owner does not share your ideology, please leave"

" Sir your car wont get any gas in all of our affiliated stations unless you moderate all the problematic content in your platform in the next 24h"

"Sir, Rosa wont clean your house because she is a republican now"
I don't think there's anything that distinguishes the US more from China than a private platform being able to deplatform the president, rather than be bullied by him.

There is no hypocrisy here. The only relevant rights in the US are the rights of twitter to not be compelled to publish someone's speech, and freedom of association. That unlike in China, Trump is subject to the TOS of Twitter is as American and as free-speech faithful as it gets. The only shameful thing was that Twitter carved out exceptions for him because they were afraid of political retaliation over the last four years.

In fact having the government and the executive exercise influence over private business would make the US more like China, not less. When a politician is kicked off a platform for violating its terms it's not a violation of "free speech", it's the politician behaving like a five year old who says "mom, the other kids don't want me on the playground!" Free speech is not "in your face"-ism. It does not entitle anyone to scream on someone else's property.
Is this ok?

>Yttrium is mostly dangerous in the working environment, due to the fact that damps and gasses can be inhaled with air. This can cause lung embolisms, especially during long-term exposure. Yttrium can also cause cancer with humans, as it enlarges the chances of lung cancer when it is inhaled.

From Mind's FAQ, this app appears to allow pornography, hate speech, and discussion of sensitive events (as long as it's tagged). All of these individually are against Play Terms of Service. Moreover, their content moderation team is a volunteer random selection of users, which is not compliant with the Google Play requirements for User-Generated Content.
This helps one group and hurts another. If Google is liable for blocking potential malware and phishing pages, they'll either stop blocking it, or adjust their algorithm to strongly err on the side of allowing phishing sites.

Businesses become safer, but more regular people will get phished.
This is security through obscurity and more similar to the blind auction mechanism that the MEV-geth team is working on.

This does not prevent a large miner from watching the mempool and picking the right transaction order that they want.

It also will only protect the very small number of people who are using keeperdao. It is a very nice try, but I don't think it'll go very far.
That was mightily insightful, thanks.

From the article you linked:

> It’s also true that decentralised systems are harder to evolve than centralised ones - you can’t just push out a given feature with a single app update, but you have to agree and publish a public spec, support incremental migration, and build governance processes and community dynamics which encourage everyone to implement and upgrade. This is hard, but not impossible: we’ve spent loads of time and money on Matrix’s governance model and spec process to get it right.

For me it seems to largely come down to a juxtaposition between the above risk (owed to Matrix) and the below risk (owed to Signal).

> you end up thoroughly putting all your eggs in one basket, trusting past, present & future Signal to retain its values, stay up and somehow dodge compromise & censorship… despite probably being the single highest value attack target on the ‘net.

Definitely something to think deeply about.

Might I add, as a complete Matrix newcomer, the description of its decentralised model in that article reminds me a bit of IRC in the 90s - except with solid encryption.

It certainly seems to make sense if liberty is one's priority.

I am certain. I was a theory & comp major too. My girlfriend at the time was in medical school and I studied every bit as hard as she did, at least 6 hours a day not including practicing my instrument.

> My impression is that when you hear something aloud it's nearly always different to some degree from what you imagined in your head

For me and probably you, sure. For Beethoven, I seriously doubt they differed much at all.

The piano sonatas are ridiculously challenging and I'm more than willing to go along with you, but we could be wrong. I like your analysis and never thought about it that way. In general though as a (below-average) composer yes, I'm very certain about hearing things in your head. If I can do it he could do it with infinitely greater depth and efficiency.

About that particular piece, there's also the remote possibility of an editing or transcription disaster. He was not exactly thrilled with his publishers. More likely the former but I think you're right, the intent was probably there in his head.
Authy's trying to make an open standard proprietary. I don't understand why you have to sign up for it with your phone number, or how they've gotten websites like Twitch to offer Authy-exclusive 2FA. In any case I was able to phish myself out of my old phone's Authy account really easily. It's a really bad thing to happen for regular consumers.
Sorry are you implying I didn't read the article?

> As he gets older, the activity of the hands become more dissimilar in his piano work, and farther apart

Well that can be said of many composers, even the ones we think of as "old school", like Bach. From the middle of Bach's life onward his music gets increasingly challenging and dissonant. Play some of the alto lines on a flute and it's indistinguishable from bebop to a layperson's ear. Seriously crazy shit.

Also, even though Bach was a also string player (and probably an expert one, because he could play Bach pieces ;) some of the published works end up with errors that are hard or impossible to play. This can’t be attributed to deafness. As with Mozart, Bach and many other composers (maybe not Haydn), Beethoven seems to have got bored with his older styles and kept moving aggressively forward.
While the Sherpa were crucial to success of the expedition, it's also important not to jump to the other extreme and underestimate the contributions of the British party. This was not a "guided" expedition where the clients were just going up in the wind shadow. Back in 1953, it's pretty unlikely that sherpa party could have summitted on their own.

If I remember correctly (it's a while since I read Hillary's account of the expedition), only three of the sherpa were able to go up to camp 4, and two of those them had to turn back due to altitude sickness. Tenzing Norgay did not have the technical knowledge to operate the oxygen systems. Also, crampons were far less advanced back then, so the mountaineers were also responsible for cutting steps every few days for all the routes that the porters were using to haul gear.
Guessing if you’re a chemical engineer it’s one of those properties you’re keeping an eye out for?
Correct. Was talking about the sheer size of many countries in NA makes it a much different situation than many countries in Europe. Could've been much clearer so I apologize.

I'm not claiming to be.

I don't know people who say any of that.

So what's the story?
> Many say, "Pass the database connection in the params." ... How can you write tests for logic without having to instantiate a DB?

You define and use an interface to model the DB, and use that as the mock point. Basic stuff.
I've had both a deluxe $500 washlet seat and a cheap $50 model. They both get the job done but if it fits in the budget, the more pricy model is worth it for the water temperature control alone. Due to the mechanical nature of the item, this is one of the few things I'd buy an extended warranty on if available. The $500 model lasted about five years before it died, which I suspect was caused by several watermain issues rather than a manufacturing defect or misuse. Stepping down to the $50 model was a bit of an adjustment and a minor quality of life reduction.
Optical media already use similar error correction, but the redundancy level isn't configurable, and it's stored physically close to the data, so it's somewhat less effective than what you're doing.

That said, having recently looked at some 20-year-old discs, professionally pressed discs held up well, and bargain basement CD-Rs had a lot of physical failures, even when stored indoors in a dark case. So par2 is good, but make sure you're getting high-quality media, too. Maybe M-Discs?
> Instead I was treated as if I fundamentally had no understanding of algorithms whatsoever.

This and similar experiences, basically discovering the interviewer, potential boss, or worse, actual boss, is not a colleague but actually a shallow copy of what one would expect from someone in their role, is pretty common, especially (from what I've seen) in orgs with a clear divide between a "manager" class that is mostly composed of people with less experience than those they are managing, and those doing the work.

It's best, as you say, to just write off the time wasted on the discussion, move on, and be happy you don't have to work with them.
These kind of sites are so generic that they are basically useless. I checked out a city I used to live in and which I know very well, it was first described by 3 adjectives, all 3 adjectives would be declared false not just by me but for every person who has spent more than 72 hours in such city.
The progress from first man made flight to landing on the moon was largely driven by world encompassing wars.

A huge amount of research and development went into aeroplane design as people quickly realised they could be used very effectively for reconnaissance, strafing infantry, bombing and resupply. This led to the development of air to air combat which led to faster planes and eventually jet engines.

The German development of the V2 rockets for bombing London from a great distance led to a lot of work on rocketry which was then able to built on for the space race.

The space race was two super powers pouring enormous resources into research and development to ensure there would be no military gap from lack of capability in near earth orbit.

From a military perspective, colonising Mars is unlikely to have any major military benefit on Earth. I'd guess there are many other hot topics for the military to focus on (autonomous/semi-autonomous warfare, cyber warfare, biological warfare etc).

Colonisation of Mars is (currently) more likely to be pursued by commercial or non-military scientific purposes. Perhaps some of the commercial entities now rival small countries in terms of economic might. I doubt though that a commercial entity (Space-X) will be able to get very large groups of people to unite (and sacrifice other interests) in pursuit of a common goal in the same way that they do during times of conflict.
Thanks for the response.

Yes. That was the document I was talking about, but I linked the wrong page.

My apologies for any confusion.
Here are two articles about how this pigment was discovered:

https://www.npr.org/2016/07/16/485696248/a-chemist-accidenta...

https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2018-quest-for-billion-do...
> How would you know what you’re looking at is novel?

Pigments are chemicals. Chemist can use various techniques to analyse a sample and tell what is its composition. After that they search for it in the literature and if they find that the given chemical was not described previously then it is novel. That’s it.

> I don’t get it, how would you even discover a pigment?

The article answers this. “ Chemist Mas Subramanian and his team serendipitously came upon it while conducting experiments with rare earth elements as part of their work with semiconductors.”

That is to say they were experimenting and something turned out as blue. They didn’t expect this so they analyzed the sample and then did a literature search.
I think the difference is between "professionals" as in "gets paid doing this stuff", and as in "actually knows what they're doing".

As evidenced by the discussion here, there seems to be far more of the former than the latter.

It isn't really the case that poorly designed technologies die out, necessarily. They just need to have one killer advantage. Javascript, as the only option, PHP prior to getting its act together won with its extremely low barrier to entry both in terms of learning the language and getting it running somewhere. So gradle having users doesn't convey to me that it's necessarily well-designed. I think it's "killer advantage" was that it's not xml.
A couple of years ago I had an idea how to solve this issue.

IMO blocchain technology could be actually a solution for such a problem, where one publications cryptographic hash consists of the content of the publication and the cryptographic hashes of it's citations. If a citation get's invalidated for whatever reason, papers citing it would automatically get invalidated too, and so on. Until someone fixes or removes the faulty citation and revalidates their part of the chain, and so forth.

Just imagine authors having puplic wallets proving their authorship.

If someone wants to pick up this idea, I'd be happy with 10% of the earnings that can be made with it.

Just because you said AWS, I was backing up a lot of data in Glacier, so I mailed them a hard drive. I included par files in case something happened. There was a read issue with the hard drive (iirc, I wouldn't reproduce it when I got the drive back, but they wiped it, so who knows), so they stopped the import halfway through. A couple of months later, I noticed a surprisingly large Glacier bill, but I couldn't find the objects. After contacting support, I found out that the temp files were essentially in a hidden archive in my account.

I was pretty annoyed by the whole thing.
The failure rate doesn't need to be 0%. If the solution is good, at least it'll be close to 0% which means that it'd be possible for the vendor to provide better support for the small number of mistakes so that they can be clearly explained to the affected party and rectified more quickly. If the failure rate is too high to make better support infeasible, then the current solution is not really a good one and we need to consider a revision.
Heh. I’ve seen Wayland proponents cite the “impossibility” of screen locking in X11 as a reason to rewrite the entire thing from scratch.

I’ve also seen this argument from the systemd crowd (spoiler alert: the logind ecosystem is also unreliable).
The only market left unchallenged for Intel/AMD is the consumer dektop / gaming. If Samsung / Qualcomm/ Mediatek make a new motherboard design and introduce a new ARM cpu with double the single core performance (M1 showed that this is not science fiction), then the x86 folks are in deep trouble.
Not writes at boot, but the common bottleneck on desktop storage is usually low queue depth IO, which is where Optane excels.

It's not an abundantly high throughput device like NVMe, but for ZIL/SLOG and other caching where it's more about volume of tiny transactions, Optane is very useful.

Of course in enterprise you'd just buy a PCIe card with the characteristics your workloads require which makes Optane very "prosumer", so I understand why Intel would axe the line.

Well of course he was distressed. Even in late middle age my ears are pretty sensitive and I would much much rather go blind than deaf. I'm just saying the deafness didn't necessarily have an impact on how he composed, and that like most composers of his stature, he was "composing deaf" as a matter of routine by sitting at a desk instead of a piano.
I kind of thought you were kidding, because nobody on earth cares what color their workstation/datacenter graphics card is... but indeed they are using YInMn blue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMXS1A2uBeE And made a video about how cool they are for putting certain paint on a graphics card.

My concern would be reading the data later. Zip files are sill ubiquitous and easily supported by all major OSes (though not mobile, so be slightly careful). With ZFS, you might have to first deal with reading off old hardware (luckily SATA looks like it has at least 10 more years) and using an old OS version to mount the pool.
