I’m a YIMBY activist in my spare time. One criticism of my ideas I’ve seen is that building more housing in my city will attract more professionals to my city. Those people live in the new housing, not existing low income residents. I think this is because the shortage is so bad, and that these professionals would eventually displace residents no matter what.
Bash is like 70% of Linux users.

And can just check for .bashrc, .zshrc and whatever the popular shell uses.

The diversity argument is moot. If anything it just prevents software from being available on Linux due to small differences causing big inconvenience for business software authors to be worth the hassle. From security perspective, most of Linux desktop is Glibc + almost same set of base C libraries + SystemD + Sudo + GNOME/KDE whatever. Having 2-3 choices cover 95% is not a barrier for security exploits.

Rob Pike told in 2000 that Linux has put back computing. It's not exactly Linux but the so-called "community" with their luddite attitudes.

Linux Desktop is a cult.
Is typical in plants, yes. Because plants can reproduce asexually.
I think we agree on the facts, with the addition that the UK has the same UK first policy, and appear to have the domestic manufacturing capacity to back it up.

The EU is now coming late to a EU first supply policy, but still doesn't have the manufacturing capacity.
What's the problem?

People spending their lives pushing a boulder up a hill.

People paying taxes to pay for people pushing boulders up hills.

The problem is wasting human life on wildly inefficient endeavors.

Why AlphaZero’s Artificial Intelligence Has Trouble with the Real World (2018)
Matrix today is more accessible than XMPP today. Matrix today has more communities than XMPP today. It's a pity that XMPP's hopes were dashed by the EEE of Google and Facebook, but I think if we want to make people move towards a decentralised protocol, we need to pick one, and I don't see a reason to spend my energy on reversing the direction of XMPP when Matrix is heading in the right direction.
In the LLVM project, x86_64 is handled inside the x86 namespace. To a compiler, there’s quite a lot of overlap between x86 and the 64-bit extensions that it makes sense to keep them together.

In the source, where the difference matters, you’ll see the prefix X86_32 and X86_64.

Deciphering Fully Living (a.k.a. the Meaning of Life)
I did not event bait you. I was replying to OP and you inserted yourself.

You got yourself tangled because you could not honestly answer the question. Since you became aware you are not consistent.

See OP mentioned RSS as Religious terrorists because of its members. So to the logical conclusion Hindus are terrorists because of its has organizations like RSS/Guj riots involved in it. So you just called a million Hindus terrorists. Anyway whatever makes you happy.
This is quite amazing! I might use it when I give lectures.

How abstracted is the interface? Will there be an API that let's me plug in another language, for instance? I would be incredibly surprised if that is already the case, but I thought it would not hurt to ask ;)
The videos refer to 320 AD. I agree it should be more clearly stated.
Well if missing an order by 70 million doses with a 2 months notice is a minor fault, what would be a major fault?

Again, one thing is missing by less then half, other thing is more then half while fulfilling almost fully orders for other countries.

So, clearly some contracts have more value then others, or there are blocks in place.

Trump was pretty explicit and transparent about it: issued an executive order mandating all USA orders to have priority for USA. This is something tangible that can be worked with. What about UK? Why don't they come forward and say they also have a block for vaccine exports?

Or it's only the EU that's "hostile" for doing it now?

>I don't think there is any conspiracy.

This isn't a conspiracy at all. It's binary: AZ can't, or won't, move stock from UK.
Why would this involve negotiation with the UK? They would just renege on that contract and deliver less than agreed. AZ seems to be reneging on its contract with the EU already (at least if agree with the argument that AZ can't just put their UK production outside the EU calculations).
I'm not sure the variable of how many other people I tell about my passion has an effect of its success.

I have several passions and many ventures based on them.

I believe "A farmer has as much luck as he has seeds in the ground" regardless of how many people are involved. I my case "seeds" are ventures that I start based on my passions, many will wither but some will do well and a few do great.

The great ones seem to draw others to get involved even when I try to keep them low key.
Ghaff, some good points too. And am I reading you right; you're saying you could (are) potentially earn more from writing a (paid) blog post than from your own book?
Sure. There are best selling authors who started out writing in the evenings. My point though is that it's a very small proportion of those who try who parlay music/fiction writing/video/etc. into even a median household income full-time job (say $50K/year in the US).
> One needs to hit the sweet spot (which is not that narrow, your theories don't have to be perfect, just useful to predict what will happen and understand whose your friend or your enemy).

I think this is about right.

I think of it as: "conspiracy theorists" (those who actually match the silly strawman characterization) and "anti-conspiracy-theorists" both suffer from the very same problems:

- loose epistemology...an undisciplined, over-eagerness to form illogical conclusions without sufficient evidence to substantiate them

- not being mindful of the fact that there is a very real (and very important) distinction between one's perception of reality and reality itself
The very real problem is anyone who checks a secret into source should be held responsible for any data loss including fines and jail time. Poor security practices are that are obvious avoidable are inexcusable.
That union should join the verge. They could band together over banning Trump and other labour issues
Can XMPP do encrypted group chat yet?

I ran a medium-small sized XMPP community for many years, and eventually the community abandoned it and went back to IRC because it had better client/bot support. Matrix has a really good solution for end to end encrypted group chat, so I haven't seriously looked back at XMPP since then. They were the first ones with a decent solution to the most important feature I needed in decentralized group messaging, so they won IMO.

I tried a couple times to build out my own clients/bots etc for XMPP, and it just seemed way overly complex. I had to bundle something like 30 megs of jar files for a simple hello world app.

Also some silly things like ejabberd refusing to hash passwords in their user database because they were "already encrypted with SSL". It was all just a frustrating mess, and a security nightmare.

Matrix, with Element, has a pretty web frontend that does encrypted messaging right. If XMPP has anything like that, please do let me know, but every time I've glanced back at it, it seems stuck in the stoneage of messaging apps, still working on getting a committee together to form the standards for even the most basic functionality that everything else had 10 years earlier.

So I am making games alone. Last week I started streaming my daily work. I stream my the other screen display, such that I can decide what to show and what to hide.

I told myself, streaming cost me no money and I might attract attention of partners and investors. Nothing unfold yet. But I would continue.
I think this equation completely forgets to take into account the power of the people you tell about your ideas. If you are studying in Stanford and can literally walk into the office of professor X and tell him about your ideas (which worked pretty well for Elizabeth Holmes and professor Channing Robertson but that's a different story) you have an enormous competitive advantage. And if you have a Stanford professor on your side, it's pretty easy to open doors to other influential people.

On the other hand, if you tell your idea some stranger on the Internet... chances are much lower that you will find the right people.
but does ICT stand for "information and communications technology" or "Ikea coffee table"?
Honestly I’ve seen just as many disastrous codebases written in highly structured, statically typed languages. Any language with intrinsically interesting features tends to attract inexperienced (or just bad) developers who don’t appreciate the tradeoffs of their tools and design decisions, and think the tool is a panacea. This leads to disastrous codebases, and is not at all limited to lisps or dynamically typed languages. I can point just as many disasters written in statically typed languages, and they tend to be the “interesting” ones with fancy type systems in the ML family like Scala, Haskell, and Rust. (I am a huge fan of both Lisps and ML-family languages.)

I think the important point is to be very aware of this risk and consider it when making technical decisions. Sometimes the tradeoffs are worth it to use a powerful tool, depending on the team and the product, and sometimes you’re better off using boring tools that won’t distract smart engineers.
I take back what I said about Gamestop being low on the need to investigate by the regulators last week. I don't make a habit of gambling and throwing my money or life away so I avoid the stock market, but this is now starting to seem like uncvoering a massive naked short sale racket by the hedge funds that is making them have to liquidate their short positions in so many other just one GME alone. Also the way that ameritrade, robinhood etc... halted trading of the stock makes it clear that their was collusion from Citadel after they were squeezed, and was obviously so in the case of Robinhood who had to ask for a line of credit to avoid insolvency.

WSB is now living up to its true potential that some of us in the Bitcoin community always wanted to see and now its not about 'tendies' and 'loss porn' anymore, they're seeing in real time how absolutely rigged this system is and are out for blood, specifically Melvin Capital's and Robinhood's who they already have a class action lawsuit against.
>With increased crime, corruption, and decay, the taxpayers leave (NYC).

Do you have numbers to back that up? Pre-COVID. Personal income tax numbers have increased until 2018 (last year I can find) which indicates that taxpayers were coming in rather than leaving.
Also don't forget there are more IKEA things that can host computers. I used a Kallax shelf for a beautiful home server.

The EU is a joke.

In all likelihood they can kiss AZ's ass. AZ committed to delivering 100 million doses to the UK and even though 100% of what's left may be due to the EU, that may amount to little.

These are preemptive attacks to divert attention from the months of wasted time those fools spent processing paperwork and translating it into 30 languages, lol.

>Instead, what kills cities is a long period in which their leaders fail to reckon honestly with ongoing, everyday problems—how workers are treated, whether infrastructure is repaired. Unsustainable, unresponsive governance in the face of long-term challenges may not look like a world-historical problem, but it’s the real threat that cities face.

The feels correct to me.

I lived in New York City for 15 years. Until last year. I've thought about this theme all year. Decades of policy supporting foreign investment and developer speculation gutted the chance for even affluent upper middle class New Yorkers to afford housing and setup a home base, and so many left. The situation has been incomparably more challenging for low income residents.

I agree the urban collapse meme is much easier to spread than a thoughtful discussion about policy and priorities and how to balance the economic strength of a city's major players with the daily priorities of everyday citizens. I hope the New York remainders shift priorities and initiate a different kind of prosperous era than the one I got to enjoy.

Do they not control for "trust" that the person has genuine factual knowledge? So your personal doubting due to lack of sources is controlled for, I believe, in their "manipulation checks" on page 1.

So people who aren't presented with enough cues to create trust (and even the strongest rationalist has their own thresholds here, e.g. your heart surgeon, a Nobel laureate, etc) would be factored into account. Citation only matters to the listener when trust doesn't exist, esp when "determinations of truthfulness in the universe" isn't even what the researchers care to study -- but rather, how respect develops between the people who receive trusted facts vs trusted experiences :)
I dont doubt that plants have more utility for keeping genetic information. Animals also have much more tricks to reduce their need for genetic information. Think of newborn animals often shaking untill their cerebellum develops more and is able to provide smooth motion while balancing against gravity. or birds singing songs to increase transient information. and one of the biggest information breaktrough ofcourse being the written word and now artificial intelligence

Can't they help?
I would also add that there are a few different types of power users. Two off the top of my head are "very active users" and "very technical users".

The foremost often can be maintainers of communities. Example: Reddit or Discord. These same communities might end up being the main part of your product. Other examples include social media like Youtube, or even Instagram.

To these users a different set of power tools are needed, than for the "technical power users" who need different kinds of power tools.

For the "very active users", you might want to be able to provide things like UI customization, social media linking, statistics and easy tools for moderation.

Examples of tools for "technical power users" might be providing a large set of actions that can be custom-key-bound. A macro/scripting API. An alternate API to your service completely (REST-ful), or support for modding. You can guess what those tools will later be used for quite simply I'm sure. :)
> So you just called a million Hindus terrorists.

Yeah keep spreading lies if it helps. It really shows you and those that you support in revealing light.

This is very good because these chats and their logic is public and for all to see and make their own judgements. Thanks for making my job easier.

Pray enlighten me where I have been inconsistent without shoving your words on my mouth, and where I have called a million Hindus a terrorist.

You remind me of Sambit Patra the BJP spokesperson who was asked about the number of zeros that are in trillion when he was going on and on about Indias trillion rupees economy. All this Patra could respond with is invective that the person who asked the question should go and ask Rahul Gandhi -- a cheap rhetorical device used to clutch at straws when one does not have substance to offer.

Proud owner and runner of a lackrack here at home myself. I used this guide to get me started.

1. Total body workout for 45 minutes - you need a good yoga mat to protect your knee/back -> youtube, pick 2-3 different videos from different "instructors".

> If it has to be something like pushups it at least has to be a routine simple enough so I don't have to watch some fitness dude or gal on youtube and follow them. I'd rather watch or listen to something interesting in that time.

I tried doing fitness and have my mind somewhere else: didn't work well. Don't fight it, listen to what they say, focus 100% do it right so you can learn what muscle is targeted for which exercise and to avoid injury as well.

> any science based plan on how or what I should train?

Most trainings are science based.

Get a dumbbell (buy 1 pair) or kettlebell (buy 1 piece), expand your total body workout to include a little bit of strength training.

2. Run 5k/10k - you need good running shoes

Yes, it's boring, but the journey from couch to 5k then figured out how to reach 10k, has been a great challenge + journey + accomplishment. Learn how to run correctly. Learn how to reduce toll on your body via different training methods.

3. Cycling - yeah, it takes time; time well spent in my case

Sign up with strava. Track your metrics. See if you can climb higher elevation. See if you can bike longer/further. Plan your route. If you can do 50k with some hills, can you plan 70k without hills? All these planning is fun for me.

Personally exercise takes my mind off from routine works (regardless if you're doing R&D or CRUD app: they're the same, there's a pattern and routine even in "exciting ML research").

I feel relieved/recharged after a 5-10k run session or a long bike ride.

I enjoy the process c25k (couch to 5k). I enjoy the process to move the goalposts to hit 10k. I love that feeling of achievement too.

I realized that running 5-10k regularly requires me to take care of my body: sleep + nutritions + muscle building (this is why I do total body workout + strength training).

I acquired new sets of skills/ways of thinking from all these exercise.

Just like software has technical debt. Our body needs to be maintained as well.

I love/enjoy the journey from not knowing about fitness in general to where I am today. Fitness becomes my hobby aside from software development and I'm happy that I chose to invest in myself.
My rule of thumb is to reboot instances after making changes mainly so you can be confident that the machine will continue to work correctly after the reboot, and you'll still be able to login.

This is based on past experiences where I've configured a VM, then a year later needed to make changes but been terrified of a reboot because I can't remember if it's likely to keep working or not!

Thw humungous auto-geberated boilerplates are rude goldberg machines. But you don't need those at all. A simple webpack config (including setting up babel, typescript, etc) is less than 100 lines (not nothing, but comparable to build scripts in other langauges).

It's worth noting that there is some inherent complexity in the web platform due to the fact that you are generally targetting multiple platforms. Server side code has it easy here (and indeed Node.js generally needs little in the way of build process)

Regarding error with native NPM dependencies (usually when switching node versionw, or switching between macOS node and linux node in docker): this can almost always be solved witha simple `npm rebuild` once when you change node version.

I've only heard this "stuck on Python 2" FUD from non-Python programmers, you may want to get your arguments with the times.
Dude, this is a GREAT concept!

There's always been that extra little step of going from working code to pretty graphs/animations that acts as a barrier to entry to where I almost never do that part. It's not that it's hard, it's just always a PITA with a bunch of required boilerplate and always requires that I dig through the API.

This streamlines that process in a way I didn't think would be possible.

That said.... maybe I'm doing something really dumb, but it's basically unusable for me right now on windows since every time I type the letter "d" it just highlights the line in the interpreter instead of typing the letter. I see this issue has been mentioned already in github though.

Although the overall chemistry of photosynthesis seems simple (mH₂0 + nCO₂ => Cₙ(H₂0)ₘ + nO₂), it is driven by a pretty complex arrangement of parts, called the reaction centre: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthetic_reaction_centre

> The energy of the photon is used to excite an electron of a pigment. The free energy created is then used to reduce a chain of nearby electron acceptors, which have progressively higher redox-potentials. These electron transfer steps are the initial phase of a series of energy conversion reactions, ultimately resulting in the conversion of the energy of photons to the storage of that energy by the production of chemical bonds.
