For interval-oriented data that you want to query at different levels of detail with a query window, there's a trick I used in a commercial profiler which you can easily bolt on top of any ordered search tree or database system.

You have a separate tree for each power-of-two scale. The tree corresponding to scale k contains intervals with length between 2^k and 2^(k+1). An interval [u, v] is put in the tree corresponding to scale lg(v - u) under the key u. If you have a query window [a, b] you turn it into a range query a - 2^k <= u <= b for each relevant scale k and filter matches by interval overlap between [u, v] and [a, b]. "Each relevant scale" is defined by the desired level of detail, e.g. you don't query scales which are too small relative to the current zoom level.

Each scale actually has two trees. One type is what I just described. The other type is a summary tree which contains bounding intervals with recursive summaries of all intervals at finer scales. When you cut off queries at scale k you also include data from the summary tree at scale k so that all data in the query window is returned, either verbatim or as part of the bounding intervals with summaries.

An efficient, convenient way of implementing this is to stream the time series data to disk to separate append-only files for each scale. You can start doing interval queries immediately with a reasonable slowdown by directly doing binary search on the raw scale-segregated files (if the records are variable length you can use a COBS-style encoding so you can sync to the nearest record from a random point in the file). That said, the write amplification for a high-fanout B+ tree index is tiny here and building it in a streaming fashion is basically free, so generating the index synchronously is my recommendation. You can also generate the summary files in a streaming fashion but since they involve significant write amplification it's worth decoupling that task to a process with lower IO priority.

To implement the interval query for [a, b] at a given scale you use the B+ tree index to find the starting position in the append-only record file for that scale using the a - 2^k lower bound and just do a linear scan in the file until you exceed b.

There's a bunch of variations and optimizations (e.g. coarser scales than powers of two) but that's the gist of it.
Now this is sad, but a decade old system would be Sandy/Ivy bridge era hardware, which isn't that bad for non-graphic intensive stuff.

I would hazard that most consumers wouldn't be able to tell much of a difference with current hardware, especially as an e-reader. They don't tell us what they have or how much memory is installed, but if it is a convertable laptop with a touchscreen or similar then I would try Gnome. You will have a much better time for a simple e-reader.

If it is memory contrained, or ends up being an Atom processor then perhaps a lighter desktop might be better.
You understand this was a rhetorical device, right? Bonds exist because people want capitalism. It's implictly about money, interest, risk and return.
Pair programming with colleagues I often get frustrated by them wasting time doing things a hard way. Like using print statements instead of the debugger, or setting a breakpoint but then have to skip it twenty times to get to the correct case (instead of a conditional bp), or restarting the whole server instead of hot reloading the changed class in a second.

So I think many don't know how smooth java can be if used correctly. But that also makes me think if there are low hanging fruit / obvious stuff I also don't know that could be a boost to my productivity?
AMAZING~

The Gradle wrapper is how you let gradle download itself upon first execution. It stays in your git-repo, and then you don’t need to install gradle yourself.

FYI it’s the same study as the previous news about this, as in the same 2000 individuals study with no severe cases (hospitalization) or deaths in either group and very wide margins for confidence.

This is just the actual paper rather than the leaked abstract from a few weeks ago.

They commissioned a new study to assess the efficacy more precisely especially for severe cases.
It’s not an issue of smart vs. dumb. It’s that the cops can screw up infinitely without consequence (yesterday US cops shot a 1 year old baby in the head... nothing will happen to any of them) while the criminals have to be perfect and get busted on the first mistake. That asymmetry is why idiot cops who could barely graduate high school routinely bust even skilled criminals.
> Apparently this is a known attainment

It's certainly a common enough experience, albeit rare in the middle of daily life on that amount of practice. What it means, benefits, etc. are what's up for question.

I guess by "strange psychological territory" I was more thinking of destabilizing and harmful things that don't stop even after you stop meditating.

Edit: also, thanks for sharing.
Then there is nothing but ones and zeroes, and nothing to compare, and no insight to be had.

Yet, C++, D, and Rust are much more like one another than any of them is like any other language. Your Turing Completeness tells you less than nothing about any important distinction between them.
This might be something Github can do for you manually. I've requested similar things before through support email as one-off fixes, and they were able to accommodate.

> homes selling for tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars over appraisal

Except appraisal is an estimate of what a house will sell for, not any intrinsic notion of value. Selling over appraisal implies that the appraisers expect the value of the house to drop in nominal terms, not inflate.
Good to see someone else remembering the mouse gestures. It was what hooked me, together with being a fast browser at the time.

From that article "and produces smaller JavaScript that performs better in the browser".

Not according to my benchmarks. That may be true if you use the GWT Widget library, but if you code 'to the metal' using Elemental, GWT produced substantially smaller code than TeaVM when I benchmarked it a few years ago with the Bench2D (Box2D) benchmark. Maybe it got better since then, but I doubt it given the progress GWT's successor made. Using J2CL (the successor to GWT), the following Java class

public class Main {
public static void main(String argv[]) {
window.alert("Hello World");
}
}

would actually compile down to just (JS)

window.alert("Hello World")

TeaVM doesn't support code splitting that Both GWT and Closure Compiler support, or cross-module code motion.

At the front of my mind are aircraft piston engines, which haven't progressed much beyond the 60s. One notable exception are the Diamond Astro engines, which are based on mercedes blocks.

Seeing as mass scale ICE development is probably a deadend, hopefully the current state of engines will hold over until battery energy densities become viable for light aircraft (an extremely selfish desire, i admit).
I have not used GuixSD, but I peek evey now and then on its progress.

Like the sibling comment says, it has less warts than Nix and Nix language, but depending on your stance on Free software, you may need nonfree repo.

Additionally, NixOS has far more mindshare and manpower and has a vast repository, something to keep in m mind if you ever want some exotic piece, Nixpkgs has higher chance of having it already packaged.

Sure, that’s exactly the secret to become a big and successful company.
The problem with the 'don't buy it' argument is that Apple spearheads the 'what can you get away with' movement. Most companies follow Apple and customers bear the brunt. Examples are headphone jack removal, non-removable battery etc.
The lone hero/savior/prodigy archetype is also just an easy narrative to sell, especially to anyone aspiring towards success who would feel inspired or vicariously validated by such a story.

There are countless articles that romanticize entrepreneurs who were child chess champions, or rubik's cube solving geniuses, who dropped out of college, or were academics who were under-acknowledged, only to build it all by themselves and hit the jackpot. At least that's how the story often goes. It almost seems like a sort of modern mythology, one that taps into the American dream that so many yearn for.
Would connecting several together then still produce more current? Because I'd assume that all the pieces of infected wood would have to be moving at the same time to generate friction.

My folks don't want the shots, my grandparents refuse to mask any time it isn't critical. Pops wants to get the shit. I don't have an opinion myself, but I'm going to hold off on the vaccine just in case there's some crazy ultra-low probability shit that spontaneously crops up, frankly I'm not concerned with my own risks as judged by probability: I'm inordinately low-risk. Last I heard they hadn't confirmed the vaccines contributed to sterilizing immunity anyways, so for all we know currently there's no strong link that vaccines are going to prevent transmission, but rather will mitigate symptom development and disease severity; so again, I don't see the point even at the resolution of populations.
I just have to say what a well thought out response. There is so much caution given in the literature around the need for a teacher or guide who can help the student through these issues when they arise. I remember reading about it in the Munger school texts on Prana and pranic healing.
That would be true if the oldest cars are being removed from the pool, but that isn't how it works. Cars crash, some models wear out, some just have too little resale value to keep going, etc so they're removed from the pool earlier. Other cars are very desirable so they're get around much longer. It's not a perfect circular system.
Beyond the Trump point, I think there is a very real concern being raised by Greenwald that the supposed fourth estate has suddenly uncritically been parroting the words of "their team", verbatim. While this may have become more apparent recently given all the political change and even COVID coverage, there is a history of this happening, most crucially in the run up to the Iraq War before everyone turned against it.

But if you take Iraq as an example, the corporate media has always been a consensus building machine. The danger then when it is presented as a monolith arbiter of the truth, is that if you accept the news as default "true", then any bad actor can start pushing the population in an unhealthy direction for society.

The opposite also has issues: If you accept the media as default "false", then what to believe? What is actually true outside of your own lived experience?

I see Greenwald's concern less about Trump or the politics of the day, and more about the sad lamentation of the death of his profession. The destruction of belief in institutions is increasing at a quicker pace, and that doesn't leave us as a society in a good place. And lecturing/hectoring people about "don't believe fake news, THOSE OTHER GUYS are wrong" doesn't work, because you often turn the page, and encounter something you know to be the opposite of what is being presented from that same media source. Gell-Mann Amnesia again and all that.
> It might be easy for tech-savvy people but not for the average customer.

Having domain knowledge is pretty helpful in everything. People who don't know what they're doing shouldn't play with explosives, for example. Plenty of ten year olds have jailbroken their devices, just check the jailbreak reddit. If they can do it, anyone can. Just read about it first. Epic Games got hundreds of thousands of little kids to sideload their app on Google's operating system.

> I may be misunderstanding this but how does this take away people's rights?

Forcing someone to host something takes away their right to free speech.
Right, that's some kind of human interest journalist fudging and it's not true. But bias/surprising wrong answers in ML is obviously a real problem and fixing the data is not always the right answer. You might not be able to tell what's wrong with the data, or where you could get any more of it, and you might be reusing a model for a new problem and not have the capability to retrain it.
I hope I don't get downvoted for this:

Internet Explorer 4.0

As somebody who wrote web apps back in 2000ish, IE4 was lightyears ahead of Netscape 4. Basically IE4 was close to what we have now, and NS4 (or opera), could barely switch a color with JavaScript. While lot's of the standards were already defined, NS4 would crash constantly (when doing JS). That was at a time when NS4 was the beloved browser and IE4 tried to catch up (remember the lawsuit because they tried to bundle it with windows). Well they also made the much better browser. Enough robust to built the first web apps.
B1351 was also detected in the US.

The Goenka centers do have a filtering questionnaire, but I think they tend to just get so incredibly much wrong on their handling of psychological problems. It's infuriating.

> This shit we have to put up with shouldn't be legal! I dream for the day that the DOJ forces Apple and Google to make an interoperable native platform. Or when it forces both to spin off their app marketplaces. Or requires them to allow easy installs from the web.

You're begging for a way to enforce capitalism while taking away Apple and Google's right to practice capitalism. You're not promoting this altruistically, you're promoting it because you want to make money. Why should anyone support your right to make money over Apple's or Google's?

Anyone can do it, so long as they have access to a search engine.

> The world doesn't owe you clean air, either. But thankfully we've decided to artificially limit business to make the world a better place.

You're arguing for this as a way to limit businesses in favor of your businesses, though. You're just passing the buck! What you're advocating for helps no one aside from you (and people in your profession) and hurts consumers.

I don't like using Google or Apple products, so I don't. Vote with your wallet, don't vote for taking away rights.

There's a constitutional amendment for that specific carve-out, though. The constitution permits that limit, it doesn't what many in this thread are proposing.
The requirement exists regardless of how hard or easy it is to implement. "Trustless" is a requirement because history shows that there are many circumstances where existing payment networks cannot be trusted. Payment networks sometimes refuse to do business with certain parties merely because it's not profitable due to bad credit, a higher-than-average chargeback rate, public relations, or other reasons. Even when the networks themselves are not actively antagonistic, they are vulnerable to political influence which may take the decision out of their hands.

Where trust is feasible transactions can be settled cheaply in separate records and not on the blockchain itself. The Lightning network is one such protocol; support for inter-account transfers on the same exchange is another. However, it's good that the trustless option exists for the cases where trust would not be justified.
In Zen, meditation under influence is a big no so, I never had experiences like you mentioned.

Interacting with hidden layers are considered advanced practice and I'm just entering these levels. To be able to cope with it you both have to be very experienced and very powerful. I still practice with my masters if I'm going to go that deep.

Also, tests of death and dissolution is not something you should experience alone. It can be because of many different reasons. Everybody's experiences are different, even when faced with the same thing. So you need to get familiar with yourself first, under supervision of a more experienced instructor.

My advice is not to mix meditation with substances and not try deeper practices without someone more experienced on the subject matter.

60-70 year olds have a case fatality rate of ~3-4% here in Germany and that despite not being limited by the capacity of the health care system yet.
