I was fairly overweight (BMI bordering on obese) and encourage frank and constant discourse around the health consequences of obesity, and disagree with the normalization of obesity in e.g. fashion magazines and advertisements. Seeing such discourse led me to finally take some action.

We shouldn't be intentionally mean (and I agree there's too much of that), but they're literally killing themselves with their lifestyle. It's something that they should be strongly dissuaded from by their peers and by society, for their own sake and society's sake. It must be the leading health crisis in rich countries right now, now that smoking is unpopular.

It's not 100% the obese person's fault: food companies have hacked their dopamine systems with added sugar/salt/MSG/etc (similar to social media companies hacking attention mechanisms), obesity is largely genetic (in terms of the tendency to overeat and ability to satiate hunger), obesity is likely triggered by some underlying mental health issue (e.g. depression), and evolution programmed us to eat us much as we can get our hands on. It's hard to fight biology. But it's not accurate that obesity is just a metabolism issue. Obese people take in too many calories, usually from added sugars and carbohydrates. They may take in 2400 calories a day when their BMR is 1600, and the chronic impact is obesity.
Starting with Millennials and Gen Z, you've got 2 generations for whom homeownership is fast becoming a pipe dream without at least one of the following: very high paying job, inheritance or other help from parents, moving to a very low cost of living area (which the hurts job prospects).

Anti-homeownership propaganda appeals to them. Why wouldn't they look for upsides in their situation?
Yeah, "add virtual ___" is one of the hardest and most complicated thing in Windows, probably worse on macOS, definitely where FOSS OS shine.

Oof I think you couldn't be more wrong on this point. I think environmental contamination is the issue that most strongly can unite both left and right.

Believing more in conspiracy is actually a great reason to mistrust the water supply. Given that men's testosterone and sperm rates have been falling for decades (with no cause known, but best hypothesis is chemicals in environment)[1], I particularly expect there to be a common ground.

After all, Alex Jones (right-wing, conspiracy theory nut) has been concerned about a herbicide named atrazine that arguably can change the gender of frogs (he mistakenly said turn them gay). "A 2010 Hayes study concluded that atrazine rendered 75% of male frogs sterile and turned one in 10 into females,"[2] and atrazine is just one of many such man-made "xenoestrogens" [3].

In fact, I'm a bit shocked how slow both sides are to start caring about this issue.

> Where are they getting the “80% of new households ... will be these one to two person households” stat from? No citation, of course, because it’s not true.

Do you have a source to cite for your claim that it's not true?

This source supports the claim that "something like 80%" of newly formed households will consist of only one or two persons, at least for the period 2018 through 2028.

(Also, it seems odd to suggest that the reason a person didn't provide a citation for a statistic mentioned in the context of an interview is because the statistic isn't true.)

I worked on this project. The images were indeed captured by a 3D microscope in about 9000 separate captures with non-uniform illumination, so this isn't so much a stitching artifact as it is an illumination artifact. The specular component of the varnish and the different illumination angles of the light sources make it almost impossible to capture a uniformly-colored field without the use of polarization filters, and the best stitching algorithms don't do well with different opinions from multiple images about the color of a pixel (they do fine with different opinions about brightness).

Which is an evasion, because they know they are respected as an authority on the language and therefore they do actually make the language, or at least legitimise mis-use.
To be fair, I’d use “you there?” with coworkers I know, and who know me. Since I don’t usually begin by saying hi, they know I’m actually looking for them immediately.

PHP6, similar to ES4/ESX, was a language version that ended up in spec. hell. Nothing to do with release woes (none were ever released), so I don't see any real relevance in this discussion?

PHP7 on the other hand was a pretty seamless migration from PHP5, and PHP8 looks likely to be similar.

General point is the original commenter was posing this as some fundamental issue of open source languages: clearly there's plenty of examples of success, so it can't be.
This is not at all common in beer brewing. I cannot speak for the wine world but most of them have variable height lids.

No brewery would ever put glass marbles into a primary fermenter. As a professional brewer we routinely try to have the beer touch as few items as possible, post chill, due to sanitation risks. Not only would marbles be a nightmare to sanitize (tiny chips or cracks would not be properly sanitized), its a logistical nightmare to later get them out to clean the tank. Tanks are cleaned in place with a pump and spray ball method without ever opening the tank. Getting excessive hops out is enough work much less marbles.

Breweries purge any air out of a tank with Co2 before filling, for multiple reasons, but since Co2 is heavier than air it will settle on top of the unfermented wort as it is gently transferred into the fermentation tank thus removing the need for any kind of marbles or headspace reduction.

A second major reason this would not be done is that when beer ferments it needs extra headspace as the yeast in an ale ferments on top of the beer. A hefeweizen will routinely create a yeast layer about 10-15% of the height on top of the liquid. So if this space was blocked it would be forced out the top, which for most modern breweries would create a large mess into the floor drains and lead to the yeast count being too low reuse.

On the flip side I would be very interested to know of a brewery doing this and why.

Afaik for both Parsec and Moonlight the video is a capture of the screen encoded in h264 or h265 and streamed to the remote client. They may be based on RDP for input but I don't think that's the case.

Moonlight is open-source, you can see in the code yourself as I don't understand most of it. There is also a project that attempt to replace the associated Nvidia Gamestream server but it is quite basic and no longer maintained : https://github.com/loki-47-6F-64/sunshine
Well they had a lot of languages to look at and say "ummm that didn't work out for them so well, let's not do that" such as the Python fiasco.

> Not really. How would “.toupper()” work on a raw set of bytes, which would either contain an MP3 file or UTF8 encoded text?

It doesn't. It doesn't work with Unicode either. No, not "would need giant tables", literally doesn't work—you need to know whether your text is Turkish.

> How would slicing work? I want the first 4 characters of a given string. That’s completely meaningless without an encoding.

It's meaningless with an encoding: what are the first four characters of "áíúéó"? Do you expect "áí"? What are the first four characters of "ﷺ"? Trick question, that's one unicode codepoint.

At least with bytes you know that your result after slicing four bytes will fit in a 4-byte buffer.

> How would concatenation work? I’m not saying Python does this, but concatenation two graphemes together doesn’t necessarily create a string with len() == 2.

It doesn't work with Unicode either. I'm sure you've enjoyed the results of concatenating a string with an RTL marker with unsuspecting text.

It gets worse if we remember try to ascribe linguistic meaning to the text. What's the result of concatenating "ranch dips" with "hit singles"?

> How would “.startswith()” work with regards to grapheme clusters?

It doesn't. "🇨" is a prefix of "🇨🇦"; "i" is not a prefix of "ĳ".

> Text is different from bytes. There’s extra meaning and information attached to an arbitrary stream of 1s and 0s that allows you to do things you wouldn’t have been able to before.

None of the distinctions you're trying to make are tenable.
In the real world, 2 or 3 days doesn't mean a failing grade most of the time. However, when you start to get 2 to 3 weeks behind the deadline in the real world there is no escape hatch.

Worst case in college, you submit the later assignment, settle for a D, and vow to study hard for the final. In the real world, you manager calls you to his office, asks you why you're weeks behind, it's going down now in your evaluation. Maybe you're in a start up, you loose that crucial client, now you're wondering how to pay your expenses as well. You have a family, kids, the stress compounds, pretty soon you're a mess at home and at work.

And, I've got 12 years of higher education under my belt. When I made the final push for my PhD thesis corrections, I stayed up 4 days straight right before the deadline dotting my 'i's and crossing my 't's. 6 years into the "real world", I often look back on that time as the good ole days.

Whether or not you self-identify as right wing you’re simply parroting what has been prevalent in right wing media for the last year. We have a lot of data showing how the disease spreads and that wearing masks significantly slows it, which makes unmasked activities like eating far riskier. If people had complied with milder measures last year it’d be different but once safety was politicized spread increased to the point where we are needing strict measures like what the countries I mentioned did until vaccinations rates are high.
> We should consider ourselves lucky that it was “only” a moderately-deadly disease, and not something worse.

A lot of people think that the governmental reactions are slow and lame because covid isn’t a disease morbid enough to threaten civilization, as something like a full blown ebola pandemic for example could be. Which is probably true to extent.

But I agree 100% with you and people are crazy to think that governments would somehow suddenly be competent in handling a worse disaster than covid, given the complete (almost) worldwide failure to curb this plague. From initial downplaying and silencing scientists and doctors in China, to rise of anti-mask and anti-vaccine crowds and even voices in governments, to our incapability as a global world to handle the production and logistics of the vaccinations... when a disaster worse than covid strikes in the future, it will be the same shitshow, only with higher stakes

have you tried to extract the vignetting pattern form the captures and using it to normalize them? My first try would be to calculate the median grayscale image of all 9000 captures and then using this to normalize the intensity.
Yes, because the scan is intended to study and document the painter's technique as well as the state of conservation of the paining. Looking into the abraded painting near cracks, for example, we can see a layer structure that is like taking a virtual cross-section of the painting.

> They got dropped in 64 bit mode because no software has used them in 25 years.

I think there was one that used them, but i can't remember its name. Maybe someone here can help.

It was obscure enough that Intel didn't think too much about removing them.
The weather really is miserable, too.
Java and PHP I could see as being similar to the Python as they all shared the pain of widespread adoption by vendors that were reluctant to update (Java: enterprise organisational internal, PHP4: bad cheap webhosts, Python2: everyone?).

With Node 0.12 though I don't see it. IOJS was a pretty momentary internal political issue that many users didn't even register on their radars. It certainly didn't have any long-lived impact on version adoption within the community.

And: the important point, they've all had very successful major bumps since. So even if there are pains, they can be overcome. There's nothing fundamentally un-doable about major version releases for open-source languages.
And I fine with that. But then drop the multi-platform bullet point from the marketing brochure. It becomes a lie at some point.

One non-obvious reason dd is often used in examples is because of device permissions.

You can't (easily/legibly) present a one-liner that combines cat and sudo because sudo doesn't give the shell redirection (sudo cat >> /dev/whatever) permissions. But "sudo dd of=/dev/whatever" works fine.

Edit: Yes, you can make a one liner via sh -c, tee, etc, but depending on cut/paste with quotes is tricky, or the one-liner gets long.

EV Surge Sends Cobalt Prices Soaring
I'm not entirely sure how but in the past two years, I've become a believer in the capitalism structure for the markets and that it's able to solve any given problem (including what you're saying). Capitalism just needs to get nudged into a direction and the solutions will be a product of markets.

To elaborate my point, through government subsidies:
- American has seen massive production of food (so much that we waste an insane amount every year)
- Massive creation with minimal resources (via petrol innovation; even if y'all don't like it, it was an easy win for society and we're living with the second order effects)
- Vehicle fuel efficient rise
- Green revolution is almost profitable without government subsidies.

I'm not an economist but the game theory does seem to playout in such a way, for the past century, to confirm 'we'll find a way, given a nudge in the right direction'.
> you have to deploy more instances of the entire monolith to scale it,

That's a common argument for microservices and one that I always thought was bunk.

What does that even mean? You have a piece of software that provides ten functions, running 100 instances of it in infeasible but running 100 of one, 50 of three and 10 of six is somehow not a problem?

That must be really the perfect margin call of some vsz hungry monstrosity. While not an impossible situation in theory, surely it can't be very common.

There are plenty of reasons to split an application but that seems unlikely at best.
None of those operations are correct on Unicode codepoints. Your statement is only just barely tenable if you only care about well-edited and normalized formal prose in common Western languages.

Even then, upper/lower-casing is iffy.
I agree that it will eventually become mission critical. Until then, they have some time to make the implementation interpretable.
There should be government regulations (perhaps including more regulation of drinking water). But the torturous political process that is currently required to enact those regulations is a good thing and the gist of your post, "just sweep aside all the nihilistic whiners stonewalling and fix the problem," is the wrong approach. My perspective is liberal: there are no good, simple solutions, there's no such thing as a "general will," people don't agree, have good reasons to not agree, and therefore the political squabbling, as tiring as it is, is healthy.

Buried within your perspective is, I believe, the incorrect and somewhat dangerous idea that there is a way to harmonize society if only we'd grant the right powers to the right people. I think civilization is best thought of as a tragic compromise and attempts to make it something else never end well.

None of that is to say you're wrong to advocate for more and better regulations. Only that there are valid reasons to argue for fewer regulations or to be skeptical about the government's ability to regulate this or that.
Maybe and maybe not. My underlying direction is “do what’s best for the company”. If I see things wrongly and give you a more specific direction that you believe contradicts that (“don’t fix that bug!”), it will be well-received when you fix that bug.

Even if you spend some time chasing it and come up empty, the story that you went above what was assigned because you were convinced I was wrong and hurting the company is still a good one.

Now, if you always act like an arrow without any feathers, we may have a problem, but I’d way rather have a bunch of engineers trying to improve the company even if that means proving me wrong than have a bunch of them waiting to faithfully execute my divinely-inspired direction.

I did see that and, yes, it was a fairly high percentage. But, as you say, it doesn't really distinguish default to WFH from having to get on a plane to come into the office. It's perhaps suggestive that if you want to WFH 5 days a week there's an implication is that it doesn't really matter where you live (domestically, or at least within a timezone or two) but they're not necessarily the same thing.
It causes issues with running low overhead multithreaded code. I get by with the multiprocessing library, but then again I don't have a lot of threads (10 is the most I've ever needed), some people want to run hundreds of "light threads" depending on the type of programming that you are looking to do.

ARM is unique that there aren't many companies that could own it and it being a raw deal, it would have to be a company that doesn't have rivals in semiconductor or hardware space, so that basically rules out even buyers like Google or Microsoft. What that leaves are investment companies like Softbank or Berkshire, everything else is hurting someone.
