I've been treated by multiple psychiatrists (the drugs did not work, as far as I can tell, and one made me significantly sicker) and never had a psychiatrist tell me the drug they gave me may make me feel worse at first. In fact since this warning is in my experience unheard of, I question whether you are confused about the above claim. (Though it's possible things have changed since a I was last treated, I suppose)

Since a lot of the benefits of these drugs may be the placebo effect, that would be a pretty odd thing to say since they could undermine their treatment.

Psychiatry is like a science that hasn't been invented yet. If someone is seriously depressed it may be worth a shot to try drugs but the psychiatrist will have no real clue what the drugs will do, just educated guesses based on flawed studies.
Nope. Fissile material is relatively calm unless it's actually fissioned, which usually requires more than just shooting it. And the radiation it does emit won't penetrate skin.

Basically, don't eat, snort or attempt relations with it and you're probably fine.
This looks fantastic, thank you for sharing this!
I read an account a few years ago of somebody using this "feature" during a military training exercise to find the "enemy" camps and call in simulated "artillery" strikes. The people on the receiving end got hopping mad and couldn't figure out how he kept finding them so quickly.

I don't see Linux mentioned at all.

I'm not complaining, but as a Linux user who uses dnf/yum for everything there, but also has some needs for things that either aren't packaged at all, or are but move too slowly and break often (youtube-dl) I use brew. I love that it installs in my home directory. Linux Brew is awesome to have for that.

I don't expect Linux will ever be a prime focus, but I do wish it would be easier for packages to support Linux.
Many times it doesn't require any actual formula changes beyond trivial.

Note: If you are on Arch, AUR is often better than home brew. I don't use Arch on my daily drivers/work machines anymore but deeply miss the AUR :-)

Logged in to say exactly this. I thought I understand computation after my degree, and this book, while far from perfect, did an incredible job of bringing fundamental computation to life in the readers mind.

I'm looking forward to diving into the second edition and hoping the second half is better than the first edition.
> don't really care whom you blame, I care about the results. Our society could do much more to stop people from being fat and unhealthy, yet 70% of the country is overweight, and more people have chronic health problems than don't.

Unless you want members of society to walk around smacking soda and fried potato products out of people's hands, I'm not sure that I agree.

If we want to pool our resources as a people to solve problems for others, let's start with water scarcity, unstable/oppressive governments, and renewable energy. Please don't sign me up for forcing people onto weight watchers plans.
Chamath first came to my attention last week when he introduced his run for California governor by promising to give everyone free money and cut taxes to zero. He then bought into GameStop stock, pumped it, and sold at the top while many gullible fools lost their life savings. What a shady dude.

> I can tell you that the belief that JDK 8 is more stable than 15 (or even 11) is misguided either based on how they're actually maintained

The instability comes not from bugs in the JVM, but from how even tiny changes in the JVM can interact with the software running above it. For instance: Java 15 changed the return value of the getMessage() method of the NullPointerException generated when accessing a null pointer. That shouldn't have made any difference; yet, there is code which accidentally depends on its former return value, and that code is probably in a little used corner of the system where it will break when you least expect.

Java 8 is a known variable; you can expect it to have many less breaking changes than chasing the latest Java release (and if you are in the "latest Java release" train, you have to chase the latest Java release, since there's little if any overlap in their support period). It's a solid base for you to build your software on top.
It really does depend on the app, I was once playing the game Hotdogs Horseshoes and Handgrenades. It has this western level which is wide open. But I really hated it, it felt really isolated. The echos only made things worse.

But Onward VR feels really social.
Rust is probably mentioned for the more up to date language concepts and type safety, as in "Look, our code is probably more reliable than the code of many other games.", which in turn might mean, that the user experience will be better.

Those things could be a huge deal for any game developer, especially, when you already know Rust.
As has been pointed out elsewhere, ‘demand’ has a bunch of ambiguity around it.

Generally it seems useful to a project owner to receive feature requests. They can be a source of ideas, and a signal about what users are doing with the code.

As long as the owners feel free to do what they want with the requests, including ignore them, it’s not obvious what the harm is.

However, ‘demand’ to me generally implies either rudeness, or a threat.

Rudeness can be a bit subjective, but generally it’s a bad strategy for having an ongoing conversation with someone. Obsequiousness can be equally bad. Being respectful and attuned is better.

Threats on the other hand, do seem wrong to me. Threats include things like ‘if you don’t include this, I’ll write posts impugning you’ etc.
Could that be mediated with many read heads at different locations?

"This second edition has been extensively revised. It has been restructured into two distinct parts—part I, Hardware, and part II, Software—with six projects in each part. All chapters and projects have been rewritten, with an emphasis on separating abstraction from implementation, and many new sections, figures, and examples have been added. Substantial new appendixes offer focused presentation on technical and theoretical topics." From the blurb
Why not fetch on request? i.e.: when the transaction occurs then and only then do you pull from your data source and do what you need to do.
The sarcasm may not be too far off. I used to have ambitions to build a company, but now the future plan is to pick up the task of being a solo developer. Why? people are the worst and I have no desire to have anyone on payroll.

Those workers are definitely a temporary problem until those warehouses are 100% automated. Once all the people are gone, all the labor concerns are gone as well. No more safety. AC costs are minimized to what is needed for product safety. No more restrooms with no more plumbing. Just machines which ingest goods and distribute goods.
I notice that the open book that this course is based on was developed with some relationship to the Washington State community college system.

I wonder if community college systems could save us from the tyranny of expensive commercial text books and their vicious cycle of edition after edition, causing perfectly good used books to not be "relevant" for next year's class.

University professors are probably more incentivised to develop expensive traditionally published textbooks, both to keep up their prestige, and to trade on that prestige.

Community college teachers probably have less natural prestige, and may thereby be more free to focus on student needs than their own.

In any case, I've started reading through this course, and it's fabulous.

Naively, for democratic countries, I'd imagine you could piggyback off existing political divisions, in the UK that would be electoral wards or shire/city districts. Such divisions should span a reasonable range of people, rather than a geography. In Scotland it would be "council areas".

Though maybe some places have political divisions with only one or two people in that would seem strange?
Oh my gosh, this is so much more intriguing than OP's landing page.
Yeah, I guess you could argue that the SDI program wasn't a complete failure, just oversold, and did waste a lot of time and money pursuing ideas that never panned out.
This is not hard to follow, try and keep up.

Qanon supporters represent a small fraction of Republicans. Muslim extremists represent a small fraction of Muslims.

Your comment talks about the "acceptable percentage" of Republicans who believe in Qanon. Travel bans for Muslims were justified based on the rise in Islamic terrorism - e.g. "An unacceptable percentage of Muslims are engaged in terrorism, we must ban ALL of them."

In both cases the majority is misrepresented by the minority. In both cases criticism against the minority is misapplied to the majority. In the first case you argue that this is justified, whereas I argue in both cases it is not.

It is wrong because Muslims and Muslim Terrorists are two different groups. It is wrong because Republicans and Qanon Crazies are two different groups.

> What stereotypes am I propagating?

Oh, so you are arguing in bad faith. Nevermind.

As others have commented, the original book was one of those little gems that once you read, you realise how blind you were before, and it is extremely accessible.

Often material is either too abstract or far too detailed, ECS managed to find the perfect balance where someone with a CS background can drill down to transistors and come back upwards again and really understand where they are going on that journey.
Your logic is shit. Who decides on what are lies? Are they perfect and unbiased? It’s far more than election results deniers that are being banned nowadays. If you ban lies then you should ban astrologists, most politicians, flat earthers, indeed most people.

This isn’t a thought experiment. This has been happened throughout history. The Church imprisoned Galileo for saying that the Earth goes around the Sun. McCarthyism caused many people to be fired for their beliefs. Indeed may left wing people are now being banned from the platforms. Furthermore, many more people are voluntarily silencing themselves (which is what the platforms really want).

I share your skepticism on the closed-form model. I do think there are other opportunities to optimize a sufficiently remote base though. right now (as I understand it), factorio needs to keep anything that can affect the global train state and systems connected to the same pipes, belts, or electricity grid consistent on a per-tick basis. in practice, this is basically everything. but if a remote base had its own train state and all the belt/pipe/wire connections were internal, the updates could be deferred to a more convenient time and/or offloaded to a background thread. that base would only need to be consistent when the player is looking at it or a bulk transport vehicle arrives to pickup/dropoff goods.
Don't be mad. I've done that before with some books I really liked. Work through the one you've got, then optionally pick up the second edition when it's released. I usually throw the "oops, they released an update a month after my purchase" editions onto my wish list and get it within a year as a birthday or Christmas gift.
"Understanding Distributed Systems" tries to bring together theoretical aspects on the topic (like consensus and consistency models) with practical ones, such as resiliency mechanisms, asynchronous messaging, and observability.

The point is that they wouldn't. Only the core brew utility would, because in almost all cases, it would be immediately downgrading itself to either a dedicated homebrew user, or in the case of builds, to a nobody user who does its work in /tmp and only has write access to the one install path it has been allocated (which is then chowned to the brew user afterward).

The fundamental issue is that the POSIX user model has no concept of one user being strictly less privileged than another, and therefore all impersonations require root.

And note that the situation on Debian and Ubuntu is much worse than either of these models, because every package has an opportunity to run arbitrary commands as root as part of the postinstall and at various other times during the package lifecycle. So basically you've owned yourself the first time you add some user's random PPA and run `apt dist-upgrade` to pull new versions from it.
I'm reading this to imply that as a general rule of thumb, in recent times SPACs have been a better deal for the company going public than for the SPAC investors. That outsized returns exist but are not the norm.

I don't even know if it is Jobs style or ... if that extended into what I called "valley style" for a number of years, and that involves a handful of tidbits and habits that Jobs didn't do, but are pretty common patterns.

I've sat through so many agonizing presentations of folks trying to emulate this or that. Granted I don't blame them, they want to make a good presentation, but I'd almost rather see folks try their own style and fail then mimic others.

The biggest issue I have is the litany of different people giving different talks all with the same lead in with a story and then lead up to what they want to say. But none of it really accounts for that like 2 other people just did that too....

Indeed. And now look at Czechia and Switzerland, the European countries with unusually large private gun ownership. These countries are actually safer than the other! Responsibly regulated gun ownership helps.
Tapes only have one head. Otherwise, they couldn't wind or rewind.

It'd probably be mediated with a thicker tape with a thicker head: the thicker the tape, the more "data per inch" passes through the head, which allows bandwidth to increase. That would change the LTO-tape dimensions however, so that probably isn't an option.

Fortunately, by shrinking down the size of data (more data per square mm), the bandwidth necessarily increases. So maybe this technology will have a faster read/write speed than today's tech.

There is a political philosophy theory I am looking for but can not find. What is the name of the logical argument for when a government founded by insurrection then turns around and criminalizes insurrection? That seems like the first cadre of government would be declaring themselves criminals which does not make sense. Pretty much every government does this but I can not find the search terms for it.

He also fanned the flames of outrage at Robinhood over PFOF, while SPACing a competitor who does the same things he critisizes Robinhood for.[1]

Probably not illegal, but leaves a bad taste. I get the surface-level appeal of this guy's narrative (especially his CNBC appearences), but I don't get the idolatry towards him. He's not some sort of people's hero, he's just another rich guy who sometimes has cathartic rants about other rich people in order to get richer.

"Your time is your most important asset."

Agreed. That being the case, do you really want to read 20-200 pages of introduction and as much conclusion with a relatively low channel capacity? That simply cannot compare to watching a high quality educational youtube video at double speed.

"You want to consume content that took high amounts of effort to create because it gives you the most bang for your buck."

Youtube is free; books are not.

No, the real reason books are great is because they are slow enough that they give you the time to think about what you are reading. Not because they are highest value.
Homebrew maintainer here: I'm sorry that we don't meet your expectations.

Two things for your consideration:

1. It's uniquely visible among system package managers. When people have problems with a package in `apt` or `dnf`, they find a community or third-party repository for the package or bug the upstream directly. By contrast, Homebrew has always been visible on GitHub, does not require a special login to a bugtracker on some random domain, and thus receives direct community support volume that we need to address.

2. Homebrew is not an official system package manager. We operate at Apple's whim, which generally ranges between neutral disinterest and actively trying to remove parts of the macOS userspace that we rely on. Many of our changes over the last decade (installing our own Ruby, rolling back custom source options) can be directly traced back to changes that Apple imposes that produce disproportionately greater maintenance effort from us.
Try putting on your management hat. Would you approve donating money to some random project that vaguely benefits the users of your platform, with no apparent reason? After all, the Tool seems to work fine and nobody is complaining.
You can surely imagine the course of such an initiative inside Apple.
I don't think so. The "SOL" link on his page leads to even worse stuff.

Contributing to Linux also helps the biggest tech companies around - namely IBM and Oracle amongst a host of others.

For most it's a labor of love and aligns with their passion and so everything is cool but you run across a few who's feelings get hurt and feel like they're getting ripped-off.

PSA: If you hold significant amounts of crypto on Robinhood, you're insane. There is no FDIC insurance on it and if RH goes under or even just pulls an "oopsie, we lost your crypto", you are out of luck and will be wiped out.

You can't withdraw to your own wallet, so the only way to withdraw is to convert to fiat and pay federal and state taxes on it to the tune of 15%-30%.

There's a good chance crypto on RH is 0% backed by actual crypto, so another scenario is crypto moons hard and RH just says "we told you this wasn't real crypto (in some small print somewhere) and you invested in it anyway, and now we're insolvent (in crypto only), so you now have nothing".
I agree with you wholeheartedly. Homebrew was my least favorite part of the MacOS experience, which is a shame since it was basically the most important piece of software I had installed on that thing.

No, I don’t like forced 5 minute stops to my work.

Yes, I’m the type of person who only updates on my schedule when notified, or when I need something.

These little tools installed by home brew aren’t just little tools, they’re dependencies for whatever else they’re used in. The fact that I need package “X” doesn’t mean I want package Y, something entirely unrelated, updated without my consent.

It’s MY fucking computer. Let ME decide what software gets installed on it and when.
