I'm deeply blessed to live on and own ~100ft of Lake Erie's shoreline. I can hear her waves now. Like all the Great Lakes, she is an inland ocean, enormous, inviting the misapprehension that she will dilute an infinite amount of anything you could drain into her. Alas, around here we know the history: not that long ago the surface of Lake Erie caught on fire and no one could figure out how to put it out. So let's remember that we're doing better than we once did. My backyard is daily frequented by bald eagles chasing one another. The place is in many ways healthy.

At the same time, it's quite clear that it's still not good enough - particularly the algae blooms centering on the mouth of the Maumee river (near Toledo) which turn miles of the lake into something looking and feeling like bright green paint every so often. It doesn't come near my place, but you can imagine how I feel when I picture a hundred square miles of toxic green sludge, juxtaposed with Michigan and Ohio Republican politicians proposing "self-regulation" as the solution...

We really need to come to grips with doing planning and policy of the developed world with an eye to how it impacts the environment and we really need to worry more about what we are doing to our waters.

If we don't, we may well hit catastrophic failure that solves the problem for us and not in a good way. The pandemic could be just an initial down payment on disasters that will help cut things back to a more sustainable population level.

I suspect that would be, overall, a bad thing. Better to get there by solving such problems elegantly than to get there via catastrophic systemic failure.
As someone who tends to walk a lot (often, alone), most of the ideas I get (and solutions for problems) come up while walking. That's why I like to say "walking is thinking".
yes. This kind of introspection is common, necessary. The question is, Not "does RMS have a path to redemption" (sorry about use of a religious or semi-religious word) but "what story do we tell the world, (re)appointing him to leadership"

If you want to be horrid, you could call it a branding problem. There is a reason no ford in current production is called Edsel, despite Edsel Ford being a nicer person than his father.
I've speculated it's the patents on 10G over copper holding us back. IIRC we're just about at the point where the early over fiber modes are off patent in the US.

However the 10G (over copper) encoding format uses a complex forward error correction encoding that is a bit energy intensive, it also adds some latency. A smaller silicon production node and this being used outside of SERIOUSLY EXPENSIVE for pro-sumers / medium businesses would instigate a drop via commodity.

I always wanted to pump water from the pond next to my house that collects and holds water from the storm drains figuring if fertilizer runoff is a problem my lawn would be happy to absorb some of it.

Not sure if that is scientifically sound or not....
A fixed term which refers to the lushness and vegetation on a mountain. These are the precise denotations where the word is equivalent to English with "green".

And after a quick search, jisho.org translates that precise set phrase as "lush mountain; green mountain", though with an interesting alternate "burial place" meaning. https://jisho.org/word/%E9%9D%92%E5%B1%B1

And a couple of minutes later another quick search gives me a Wiktionary translation of the Chinese phrase as "green mountains; mountains with lush forests" https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E9%9D%92%E5%B1%B1

Thing that also immediately come to mind for me is films and games. Roger Ebert gave a scathing review of Fight Club[1] and I think he's spot on that it is essentially macho porn. Many films do the superficial thing where they attempt to renounce that any of the stuff is cool, but aesthetically they basically dwell in it.

One thing that has always impressed me was the Balance of Power losing screen that shows nothing but the message:

"You have ignited a(n accidental) nuclear war. And no, there is no animated display of a mushroom cloud with parts of bodies flying through the air. We do not reward failure."[2]

I wish they would have also tested running (unless I missed it). Is there a benefit (with respect to thinking/creativity) to walking over running? I think that would be quite interesting...
Proteins are just groups of amino acids which occur in stellar nebulae. It could easily be a widely used building block of life.
One of the benefits of Scala's willingness to break bytecode compatibility all the time is that whenever Java/JVM implements a Scala concept, Scala switches to the Java method under the hood. Whenever the JVM gets Java-specific optimisations, Scala will use those. That's honestly pretty cool.
I am really surprised people have not buried your comment. It is too reasonable and well thought out for certain divisive political crowds.

I really wish the US would focus on an infrastructure bill already. In my opinion that would do more to tackle the root of crime -- inequity than the current push being called for. I feel something like that over time would have a much more positive impact on the lives of more Americans than anything else discussed in recent memory. And it is not so divisive as other big govt ideas.
That’s positive reinforcement only. You absolutely need to use all four quadrants of operant conditioning.

Agreed! So don't listen. Why does everybody have to be protected from something you disagree with?

If you mean as an IDE then yes, but most likely declining.

The last paragraph has a train wreck of two ideas smashed into one sentence and nobody has commented on this. Makes you wonder who reads the articles and who skims the articles.

I wonder if one were to install a solar shade in front of Venus to block all light from the sun, how long would it take to cool to "normal" temperatures?

The Earth cools pretty fast between day/night and seasonally, but Venus has a much thicker atmosphere, almost more like an ocean. And then the ground itself wouldn't cool instantly either. That's a lot of thermal mass.
isn't this just a keepalive on the socket? no content actually being requested? If so I don't really see the problem. I had to write a reverse proxy the other day in nodejs to handle an unusual set of requirements that couldn't be satisfied by nginx\HAProxy and I did exactly the same thing - use an httpagent to keep connections alive to clients for a period of time (I think I chose 10 minutes or thereabouts) - without it sequential requests are about 10x slower due to SSL key calc overhead.
Images can be compressed when using devdraw. The compression formats are relatively primitive, but they're good enough in practice. Slotting in better ones seems like it should be straightforward, though video codecs don't fit cleanly.
Hopefully the GDPR regulating agencies start offering bounties for whistleblowing just like the SEC.
Not sure how I didn't pick up on that.

The sheer scale of it makes it hard to perceive, so probably you aren't the only one and probably a lot of the literature has similar blind spots which implicitly signals "this isn't happening" and we pick up on that and it gets implicitly repeated until it's hard to give any kind of push back in our own minds.
Well, maybe look at the protocol. It doesn't strictly prevent ads, but it makes it a lot harder. And for example since there is no JavaScript, there is no way to pop open another window, or freeze up the page loading an ad. In fact, most clients don't even display images inline, since images aren't part of the spec. There are no cookies for tracking because there are no cookies.

I noticed this just yesterday, Azure Appgateway reported 6 active connections even though I was the only one using it and I had closed my browser.
As a dev, you should start learn about the most common bug classes and get a proper understanding on what is happening and how you can prevent them. Then it's worth looking into how you can exploit them. If you work for a big company, you may be able to spend some time working along your security team, that will help you get a foot in the door. Security teams are always looking for people who already understand the code bases and deployment processes and want to inject security everywhere :)

Or just mark slow pages. The same way everyone started using https once browsers marked http as insecure. I would bet that if Google results featured a turtle or red/orange/green indicator for the result speed, we'd see a massive shift in companies caring.
Keeping the art which is necessary to actually play the game proprietary is not respecting freedom. Its the equivalent of releasing just the compiled binary and keeping the source closed. The GPL game code is useless without the art assets.

I think Stallman is talking about art as in paintings, not art assets which are integral to the working of a GPL program.
It's interesting that multi-cellular life developed on Earth around the same time these scientists hypothesize Venus would have become uninhabitable. Unrelated... still, fun to think about.

That doesn't seem to be what they are saying. Here's the first sentence of the paragraph that I had originally quoted:

As matrices grow larger, the number of multiplications needed to find their product increases much faster than the number of additions.

The whole paragraph is talking about the multiplications and additions needed to find the product of two matrices.
There are web APIs which suggest they guarantee this. How are you supposed to get notifications you opted into if closing the tab turns off its network access? Stuff that happened in your local tab as a ghost?

Edit: for real though if you’re using chrome or any equivalent browser with its own internal task manager, go on into it and kill everything except the parent task as often as you like. It’s great.
Coming full circle much? The h-index was touted as a better metric than judging someone’s paper by the merit of the journal since high profile researchers would get their papers in NSC easily even if it never served a purpose. The h-index is definitely less gameable than you think - the only effective way to game the h-index is to become completely illegitimate in your publishing, using farms like above. That would be easily identified if anyone even vaguely related to the field tries to read the titles and journal names.
If you're interested in something similar, look for "Euclidean Sequencer" vsts for your daw.

No it contributes to more natural conversation, illustrating the commenter’s thought process.
Ozone depletion was a very serious problem, so in the late 80s there was an international agreement to ban CFCs, halons, and other ozone-depleting chemicals.

It is by no means fixed yet, but now ozone is heading back towards its previous levels, and should be recovered by around 2075. This is a great example of activism working to solve a serious global problem via public policy changes.

You can read all about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozone_depletion
Until we started sending probes out there, we didn't know much about those bodies. Tectonic plates on Earth were not confirmed till the '60s or so, so... it's not surprising.
So what? Regardless of the cause, the point is that there will be occasional "black swan" events when all major asset classes fall together and diversification becomes less effective.
Different strokes for different folks.

I don't really like cafes either. I tried it during a brief period when full lockdowns hadn't started yet but we were allowed to work from home.

- Cafes are noisy. If you need to have a conversation, it's hard to hear the other person, and it can be hard to hear you, and you have to be mindful to not disturb you.

- You have to pay your way at a coffee shop, and I enjoy supporting local business, but I don't need to consume all the calories and caffeine of a new drink every 1-2 hours.

- Cafe seating isn't office seating, and if you sit too long in it you can tell. An aesthetically pleasing cafe chair isn't necessarily good for the back.

There's just once misplaced word there, move "turn" six steps to the right and it's a complete valid sentence. Most likely a copy/paste formatting/refactoring mistake.
Google “Aegis Combat System”.
there are some who believe that you can build a better world by creating new systems. and there are others that believe you build a better world by removing bad systems.

both are valid. removing a transphobic, misogynistic, piece of shit from the FSF Board definitely improves the world, regardless of how you do it.

I wasn't referring to call/cc tho, but rather to the ability of lambdas to "return" from the outer function/method. In Ruby, IIRC, you can also "break" etc.

This is completely orthogonal to call/cc, because it won't allow you to do this arbitrarily - you get an exception if there's nothing to return/break from anymore.
Well, he's dead now, so I guess that makes all the operations a success.

This makes me very glad I have never worked in JavaScript. Why does hello world compile to something with three explicit no-ops and what the heck is safe_not_equals? I had to wonder what an unsafe way to determine equality is and looked this and found this is apparently the code?

export function safe_not_equal(a, b) {
return a != a ? b == b : a !== b
|| ((a && typeof a === 'object') || typeof a === 'function');
}

Why is it possible for a != a to not always be false and b == b to not always be true? How did Javascript defeat the most immutable rule of basic logic discovered by Aristotle 2000 years ago?

Well, again I'd say that's just like the above examples. The exponential of a (square) matrix is indeed a very well defined object [1] with semantics perfectly consistent with the exponential of a scalar. On the other hand, broadcasting exp over a matrix is a very different operation, which doesn't really have any meaning in a linear algebra sense.

I understand it's an easy mistake to make when you're used to R or Numpy, but I'd say it's their fault you're making this mistake, not Julia's.

Which is also largely why it’s hot.
There are several kingdoms with multicellular life. Plants, animals, most fungi, some protists (many protists are more closely related to animals, fungi, or plants than they are to each other for that matter). See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eukaryote#Five_supergroups

Note e.g. that animals and fungi are closely related on this diagram, but there are unicellular fungi (notably yeast). I would guess that this means the common ancestor between animals and fungi would have been unicellular. At any rate, both are far from plants, and other protist species unrelated to all of these are multicellular.

Endosymbiosis is generally accepted to also have occurred with chloroplasts. I believe there are also contemporary observed cases of protists consuming photosynthetic organisms and becoming immobile.
In fairness, the hacked materials policy was a very transparent attempt to suppress the whole Hunter Biden laptop saga. (I really don’t give a fuck about that whole story but you can’t talk about the hacked materials policy without mentioning its genesis). So I don’t think a double standard is hard to explain.

(I do think your guess is a plausible one)
I wonder if that means we can expect the price to keep rising until it reaches $3.00. Or, maybe we will find out how efficient we got when the price levels out.
Why don't you compare 1TB of DRAM with 1TB of hard disk?

Also, please consider bandwidth here. 1TB of RAM can max at ten times the bandwidth of 1TB SATA hard disk drive, if not more. The difference in price is 80-fold, but if you factor in bandwidth requirements, the price difference drops to lower levels (10 drives, more SATA or specialized controllers, etc).
i think you're missing the point.

the point isnt to distract from free software by promoting social justice. the point is that regardless of your org's aims or ambitions, ensuring that the leaders of said org are worthy of leadership is the point.
Definitely, I've had a similar level of benefit when putting my phone in another room, it always worked great and helped me get some deep work done. Glad it works for you also, always great to see others doing this too!
Except, in the same time frame, we went from only the West having Ozone polluting Air Conditioning, to pretty much the whole World having those. In the same time frame, the rest of the world industrialized and are using ozone damaging chemicals on a massive scale. There's no way we actually reduced these chemicals in absolute numbers. Yet the ozone layer is still intact, and apparently its improved. Care to explain?
Though the CFC and ozone story is inspiring in some ways, it has limitations. It's a very specific problem caused by very specific substances used in a very specific way, for which alternatives are easily found. There isn't a lot of complexity to the problem, relatively speaking.
He's got it mostly all wrong. Fertilizer isn't the major contributor it's livestock manure from large farms. If you aren't aware crop farming is a very low margin business. Fertilizer costs real money so if you over fertilize you're likely to lose money.

It's changing slowly but large livestock operations used to spread manure where it was convenient, not where the extra fertilizer was needed. Now they're required to file plans, complete with soil tests to show they're putting the manure where it's less likely to be a problem.

When I left the fertilizer business over twenty years ago we were helping the large livestock farms begin composting. If you rid the manure of it's largest component which is water then hauling a load to a distant field is way more possible.

Hard for some to believe but people who sold fertilizer were encouraging there customers to use less! Imagine a car dealer telling you not to buy an additional car.

The government also had a program where they would pay farmers to plant grass strips along waterways with the idea the strips would intercept the nutrients from fertilizer or manure before they reached the water. However I believe funding for that program was cut which may be adding to the problem.
There is no virus that causes the common cold, so this is just more nonsense speculation.

Do yourself and your lineage a favor and research Dr Hamer's Five Biological Laws.

Saying virus particles are the cause of illnesss is like saying ashes are the cause of fire. Both are at the scene of the crime, and neither are at fault.
> I personally have been told many times that I do not get to have opinion about cancel culture and ideology because of my identity.

Yeah, what's up with that? I guess people are supposed to shut up, stop thinking about this stuff and just accept whatever they say as gospel because they are right and just and can do no wrong.
Mine is in a similar time frame. We had a TV guide where the "box grid" layout was done in WordPerfect 5. Huge ugly set of macros and QB scripts to take ASCII data downloads and munge it all up. Generally took 3 days to run on the fattest 286 in the house.

I changed it to generate single page files instead of one large document (we did 14 days of schedule at a time) and it was finishing in less than 6hr.

Lost that job for that one, the boss had coded the system.
