I have an older sister who was the first child, and my oldest child is currently a 13 year old girl.

Girls go through very negative emotions between ages 12 and 18. These can be very challenging for a family. PM me for details!

This 5-year-longitudinal study from the Netherlands backs up my anecdotal assertion, adolescents are difficult, girls are slightly worse, and it starts really horribly at 12/13 then eases off as they approach adulthood: https://srcd.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/cdev.12...

Yes, I personally find it pretty easy to read, even though I've only used it as a hobby.

The only problems I have are when I'm trying to debug something in macro code, where it becomes too hard to intuitively follow the layers of quoting and unquoting to understand what's going on.

> It's always interesting to see how the press office paints these things as historic eureka moments. These results, while fascinating, are basically in line with what we call Behavioral Ecology and more specifically, Human Behavioral Ecology. The latter has emerged as a pretty strong framework in the past few years. This sort of support is nice to see (and there's been a decent bit of buzz about this particular paper!), but it's evolutionary rather than revolutionary.

It's almost like Man finally accepted that it is part of Nature, isn't?

It's sad, as Biologists we wasted so much time memorizing archaic data, experimental designs, mechanisms often based on the observations (Evolution and inheritance via genetics) of aristocrats who dropped out of Society (Darwin) or Monks (Mendel) with no real formal 'scientific education' instead of going out and falling in love with Nature and trying to utilize it's methods into our 21st calamity and increase it's use cases.

Irony and reminder of Man's infinite folly when it comes to Nature: Father of modern theory of Evolution (Charles Darwin) also practiced incest.
What I don’t like about hive is that as far as I can find out it’s somewhat vague about how much and how the bookshops get (and I consider “choosing after” to be a somewhat darkish pattern)

That said, a combination of hive, bookshop.org, worldofbooks and being prepared to pay a couple of pounds more has meant I almost entirely avoid amazon for books now.

(not sure how ethical worldofbooks is, they sell through amazon which is how I found them, but _not Amazon_ is the point)
I supported bitcoin when it first came out because I support the idea of decentralised, trustless money. Far too much money is redirected into the hands of financial workers who are not adding any value to the economy. Finance is good and necessary, but the way it currently works is not.

But bitcoin simply does not work as money. There is really no doubt about this. Even the biggest proponents of bitcoin right now call it a "digital gold". But we don't need a digital gold. We have gold and gold has none of the same problems as money and is a far more stable storage of wealth. Today bitcoin proponents don't understand what Satoshi was trying to do. So I'm in agreement that this is all just a monstrous waste of resources at this point.
Would you mind sharing the references underlying your points?

Funny, I went through Raytracing In One Weekend[0] recently and encountered the word "albedo" there for the first time in my life. Since then I feel like I've read it or heard it nearly every day! Anyway, thanks for being today's "albedo" guy :-D

So decimal-to-float algorithms are following the track of float-to-decimal algorithms:

- Algorithm M (Clinger, 1990): A bignum-based baseline algorithm

- Bellerophon + Algorithm R (Clinger, 1990): An integer-based approximation algorithm; Bellerophon has ~1 ULP error which gets fixed by Algorithm R

- strtod (Gay, 1990): A hybrid integer/float/bignum-based algorithm using modified Bellerophon

- double-conversion (Loitsch et al., 2010): A complete algorithm which verifies an error-bound approximation with correct float-to-decimal algorithms; this "round-tripping" approach was, I believe, first described by Jaffer (2013)

- Eisel-Lemire (2020): An integer-based approximation algorithm with error tracking

By comparison float-to-decimal algorithms went like this:

- Dragon4 (Steele Jr. and White, 1990; improved by Burger and Dybvig, 1996): A bignum-based baseline algorithm, still used when the arbitrary precision is required

- dtoa (Gay, 1990): A hybrid integer/float/bignum-based algorithm using modified Dragon4

- Grisu3 (Loitsch, 2010): An integer-based approximation algorithm with error tracking, can be combined with Dragon4 to produce a complete algorithm

- double-conversion (Loitsch et al., 2010): A hybrid integer/bignum-based algorithm using Grisu3

- Errol3 (Andrysco et al., 2016): The first complete (no fallback) algorithm without bignum; relies on FP with a small number of precomputed exceptions and turned out to be slower than Grisu3

- SwiftDtoa (Swift authors, 2018): Improves upon Errol3 to eliminate any exceptions; later adapts Ryu as well

- Ryu (Adams, 2018): A complete integer-based algorithm with no error tracking required

- (I noticed that there were some more developments around 2018--2020, which I haven't yet fully reviewed.)

I find it surprising that the d-to-f algorithm comparable to Grisu3 only appeared 10 years later. Maybe the round-tripping approach was fast enough that the needs weren't great so far.

You're right in that it isn't absolutely specific, just giving general ranges.

What they say is: Whether you order books, films, music, games, or anything else, your chosen bookshop will receive commission. They will receive a minimum of 10% on the net value of all book orders, rising to 25% when you select store collection. We pay 8% on eBooks and 3% on entertainment products. Bookshops receive their commission monthly.
Ignoring reality doesn’t make it go away. Those riots caused large areas of cities to be burned and seized, killing dozens if not hundreds of people, attacked police and local politicians, stormed into residential neighborhoods targeting specific profiles of people, harassed patrons of restaurants, beat and bludgeoned owners and patrons of stores based on racist targeting, crushed the economy of certain areas, burned and vandalized courts and police precincts, and all this over a span of months.

You want to equate that with the Capitol riots which happened over a span of a few hours by a few hundred people? Seriously?
Externalities should be baked into prices to the extent it is practical and desirable.

Practical: how easy is it to have a rough calculation of the externality's cost, and include that in the price?

Desirable: how does pricing in the externality help achieve some socially desirable objective?
Great write up!

One thing to add is that you can even open tunnels during an interactive session without disconnection.

To do this, type the escape command sequence ~C (will not show) and it will drop you to the control prompt. You can then add tunnels.

That was one of the notional reasons, but I (and others) haven't noticed much of a speedup. If anything, it's slightly slower in my experience (though this obviously depends upon the specific configuration).

It was also not unique in parallelising startup tasks. Even sysvinit can be configured to do that with insserv+startpar.

Many applications these days can fall back to TCP because UDP is often blocked (almost never for good reasons, but that's another discussion). For real-time applications, that fallback usually comes with a loss in quality/interactivity, though.

Alternatively, you might be unknowingly using un-proxied UDP: Many AV systems only enforce IP restrictions on the signalling protocol (which is often TCP); the actual media can then take whatever path it wants.

By the way, it seems like you can forward UDP over sshuttle [1] when used with tproxy (which seems to be a Linux-only feature)!

Bah. Just strip out the electronics and replace them with something newer and more open. Keep the body and the motors, replace the batteries and the computers.
Sure, you can find subsets of the population whose health depends on incorporating meat in their diet (that's what I meant with "healthy people", although I misworded it; people who need meat in their diet aren't necessarily unhealthy, their health is conditional on consuming meat). I accept that much.

This argument is not very powerful though. For one, it only justifies eating meat for those who have tried to cut meat from their diet and noticed adverse health effects (which should be safe for most people who don't already suffer from some risk factor, like anemia, to try); in my anecdotal experience a tiny minority of the people who make health-based arguments. And secondly, it only justifies the minimal meat consumption necessary to be healthy, and no more.
> From an athletic or 'health' perspective, [...] You can get 93+% lean beef with 3-4 grams of fat per 20~ grams of protein

Well, from a health perspective, what you really want as your main drive is high, low omega 6 vs omega 3, high quality fat, relatively low protein and the least carb you can do. Carb is not evil per se, a carb+protein based is, it leads to type 2 diabetes, and pave the way to cancer and cognitive dysfunctions, the key thing in those disease being recurrent and close insulin spikes.

A beef with <5% of fat is a nutritional non-sense, this whole 'eat the least fat possible' fable needs to die.

But otherwise I agree with you: plant-based meat-like patty is the worst you can eat (referring to their current recipes that are loaded with omega 6).
This is so cool and I would have loved to have had this while I was still an academic for diagrams and interactively playing around with setups. For real design, of course the maths gets harder and the software get more expensive. The closest alternatives that I found before were optgeo[1] and OpticalRayTracer[2] but an inkscape plugin like this is much more useful for making diagrams for article, posters and presentation.

There's a bit of valid critique that GPL crowd abhors paying for software, even if that wasn't the core intent of Free Software. But BSD licensing by itself does not offer any solution. It in fact sidesteps any dealing with intellectual property - like the article goes on a rant against capitalist greed instead.

I wish the notion of GPL/commercial dual licensing were more mainstream. If there were some FSF ethics guideline one could follow. But RMS and his followers are suspicious, if not belligerent of dual licensing. Thus (and that's another valid insight there) corporations are using political influence instead.
> Talking to the constructors it is normal for architects to specify the impossible

If the drawings are indeed for regulators, then architects should be sued when they prove to be impossible impossible. Failing that, we should get rid of architects to begin with (if they draw impossible things, what good are they?), and have actual engineers draw something that can actually be built. (Of course, the engineer should risk a lawsuit if something goes wrong).
So an ideal candidate process for concentrated solar, then.

For single applications that are able to "cooperate" with being proxied, a proxy server can make much more sense than a VPN, yes.

The less cooperative your applications are (even though cooperation can be somewhat enforced using tsocks, as you mention, which can be further made to apply system-wide using sshuttle [1]), the more a VPN will start to make sense.

Go ahead. Won't really make a difference. There's no authority to force miners to go solar. And even if they did so, energy markets are very liquid, so increased demand overall increases the pollution produced by energy production market wide. If miners started building massive new solar installations, that would help, but again that's just clean energy someone else could have used for something else. There's no particularly compelling case for miners to go solar vs. other users of electricity.
We do need digital gold to be able to have market of cryptocurrencies that are actually in use and not just being speculated on with fiat. Sidechains enable that.

The whole waste argument is ridiculous on so many levels. I imagine these people shouting at people houses - turn off that AC! You are wasting energy for which you have paid! We could have made so many aluminum cans with that!

And if you say that sure, let's have digital gold, but not Bitcoin, let's use Foo. Then without sidechains all value in Bitcoin gets destroyed. And I assure that there will be Bar that's going to be pareto optimal to Foo. It just doesn't work. To have a currency, it needs to represent some value. If it's not coming from a government, then people must trust the value will stay there (there's almost always a lot of trust involved in our value assignments).

Bitcoin is sooo far from perfect. But you can't have crypto future without it if you think long enough about it. Also on the long run, with everything being connected to the Internet and silicon being cheap, I think many heating elements will also be doing some computation. The fact that they are not - that is a waste.
There are a number of small tweaks to existing algorithms that could be used to keep ahead of quantum computers. For example increasing the key length by 4x would require a larger number of qubits therefore slowing down the risk.

And the popular symmetric key crypto and hashing algs are known to be safe. So even without exotic new post-quantum crypto we can have a good amount of battle tested existing tools.

From your link:

Tin is a relatively rare element in the Earth's crust, with about two parts per million (ppm), compared to iron with 50,000 ppm, copper with 70 ppm, lead with 16 ppm, arsenic with 5 ppm, silver with 0.1 ppm, and gold with 0.005 ppm (Valera & Valera 2003, p. 10). Ancient sources of tin were therefore rare, and the metal usually had to be traded over very long distances to meet demand in areas which lacked tin deposits.

Also:

Archaeological importance

The importance of tin to the success of Bronze Age cultures and the scarcity of the resource offers a glimpse into that time period's trade and cultural interactions, and has therefore been the focus of intense archaeological studies.

That's some good stuff. Thanks.

As a Bitcoin proponent who is also concerned about it's long term sustainability, this post is an embarrassing read.

The author clearly has a very poor understanding of what value Bitcoin currently has in our current macro-economic situation, and why investors (and corporations) are choosing to allocate larger parts of their portfolios in cryptocurrencies.

Calling out the BTC network on its energetic inefficiency completely misses the point that the work put into the network is exactly the scarce digital asset, and hence the store of value.
While most of the comments on the Twitter thread use fancy functions from common libraries, you should be able to solve this problem without the need for googling and without those fancy functions.

While I agree that this is way to basic to test AD skills, if it's really true that there is a sizable percentage of people that is unable to solve this problem, this might be a good way to weed those out, before starting with the 'real' questions.

Yeah, although a bunch of work on Monero is still a result of work from people that worked on Bitcoin.

There's some independent research there but AFAIK Bitcoin people did not stop working on confidential transactions or fungiblity.

Just explaining that the core tenet was not lost, but that it was still not researched. Bitcoin jump started a research movement that reaped all kinds of cryptocurrency variants as time went on.

Gumroad offers better returns compared to Leanpub and author payouts are much faster, but I still put my books on Leanpub as well. Two main reasons:

1) Leanpub is more well known for ebooks, their UI is better and 45-day return policy is great for readers

2) Leanpub has weekly/monthly newsletters that also offers books at a discounted rate. That gives me decent sales. And I think their SEO optimization is better than Gumroad.

I took piano lessons as a kid and learned how to play pretty well, but really hated the lessons, so I convinced my parents to let me stop. Now as a parent myself with two young kids, I regret that decision pretty often.

Work-life balance: Tips to reclaim control
This post, aside from being very hopeful, misses one crucial point about bitcoin: its users don't give a shit about it being bad for transactions, or being slow. All they care about is that big number goes up and gets green.

The amount of bitcoin users that are truly excited about its potential for a decentralized currency are few. When 90% of the mining power is held by chinese farms... These guys do not care about decentralization.

As much as I wish we could destroy bitcoin because of how utterly fucking useless it is, the fact is, we now have to deal with people wasting this energy, forever.

The premise of the article is quite incorrect.

It's painting a picture in which wealthy, western nations are "grabbing" all the vaccines, as if they came from some underground volcano in the middle of the Atlantic.

The reality is that most of those vaccines are actually designed and produced in the west, and it is thus natural that they benefit the western nations that designed them first.

It would be better for third-world nations to tap into their diverse and talented populations to design and produce domestic vaccines.
