When I have my ad-blocker off I see a lot of ads for Linode, AWS and DO. I already have a relationship with each of them.

Amazon still keeps showing me faucet valves and a kitchen-sinks. (I did a replacement two years ago).

And, every last ad for any/all PostgreSQL commercial add-on.

Some (many) items don't fit the repeat pattern and I'm confounded how, with all the Ai/ML crap this isn't known yet.

They (ad-sellers) would rather hustle the BS of "retargeting"
You created /r/narcissism, and also label yourself a narcissist? That has to be some kind of high score or something. :)

Very interesting. Thanks for posting it.
Your questions seem to exploit an asymmetry between the comment you're responding to and your examples. I can't tell you "how many times a day should you eat", but I can tell you there are theoretically claims about eating which are obviously beyond the pale -- for example claims about Mystical Gurus who live for years without eating off the sunlight.

I would imagine that if I were asked to determine whether something is bad medical advice, I might consider some of the following questions:

- What is the strength of the consensus on the issue?
- Does the claim advance evidence that the consensus is wrong which actually engages with the consensus?
- Does the claim advance a powerful cause to action?
- If wrong, is the claim likely to lead to immediate or irreparable harm if followed?
- Is the claim posed authoritatively or speculatively?
- Is the person doing the posing attempting to convince others, or just expressing themselves?
- Does the claim engage with its own shortcomings or leave room for the possibility that it is wrong?
- Does the claim have only private health consequences, or does it have public health consequences?

And while each of those have a continuum of answers, I might holistically come to the conclusion that a particular claim is "bad medical advice", and I might do so fairly easily, given a certain threshold for bad medical advice.

It seems to me less that you're saying it's hard to determine that something is bad medical advice, and more that there exists some medical advice which is neither clearly bad nor good. The two things aren't in opposition.

So, I feel comfortable saying "Human beings should not drink water because it is poison" is bad medical advice -- and it was very easy for me to determine that -- while a debate about, say, whether there's a particular target amount of water or if people should just drink water when thirsty might be supported or unsupported without rising to the standard of bad medical advice.

By the standards I have just elucidated, the Maduro claim strikes me as trivially bad-faith and unsupported medical advice made declaratively to a huge audience with fairly large likely public health risk, and so I would qualify it as bad medical advice.
Now I'm thinking of a horror fan fiction version of lake wobegon where they give all kids an IQ test at a young age and murder all those below the national average.

Just my crazy version of what "easy" could entail.
"Does this dress make me look fat?" It looks low stake, but it is definitely not. Be careful out there.

We evolved to be effective deceivers, so if there was a systemic and obvious physical tell (looking left = liar) then evolution would try to eliminate it.
Not much different than any other language... You can still get get quite a bit wrong and still be understood no matter what you're speaking. You dont even need to conjugate verbs necessarily.
I wonder if there was a reliable method to spot lying if efforts would be made to keep it secret in the same way that broken ciphers are.
The C in cmake means cross-platform. That is the reason.

The windows folks buy into it.

Other than that, it is much more procedural than make and matches the way people write code.

Make is not procedural and is full of footshoots for the uninitiated. You need to write one big dependency tree, and it is defined out-of-order with very opaque rules for things like variable expansion.

With cmake, you can just write your CMakeLists.txt from top-to-bottom with if statements, indenting and understandable variables.

Not to mention that people hate build systems. They have the same popularity as taxes, which everyone wants to get in, get out and forget until next year.

That said, cmake is better for well-defined projects - you can lose the time saved on the front end is eaten up later when you want to do something fancy like change the compiler or compile an external library with unsupported flags.
My grandfather was born in Nocona, TX. He was food-insecure growing up, a survivor of the Dust Bowl, paratrooper in WWII and Korea, and avid watcher of Western TV series like Gunsmoke and Bonanza.

My grandmother was born in Wilson, OK. I guess she watched the cowboy series because that's what he watched. She was a quiet lady until her later years.

I think living in Texas, they didn't romanticize the old West too much but did appreciate it. Some of my remaining relatives have a farm with about 30 longhorn cattle.
It has to be exclusive because the two goals directly conflict with one another.

Thus, one of the most common good-government proposals that gets floated in this area is to divide the NSA in two, one group devoted solely to offense, and one devoted solely to defense. At that point, at least you can know whether one group did something wrong. The job of the offense group is to find vulnerabilities, hoard them, and use them to attack people. But the job of the defense group is to find vulnerabilities, publicize them, and make sure they get fixed.

Currently we have the offense group, but they like to pretend to be the defense group for PR reasons. This is not a great situation.

> Came to describe the solution but you were quicker.

A skill honed by years of chasing those reputation points on Stack Overflow!

Edit: perhaps I should explain. SO is known for people trying to grab points by being the quickest to answer a question. If you're there first, you may get upvotes, and it can snowball from there.

Of course we all want to provide useful help and advice, not just chase points.

But those points are delicious. I even have them on my resume!

So a common trick is to quickly answer a question with the bare minimum that could possibly be helpful, so you're among the first to be noticed. Then start editing and revising the answer to improve it and make it really useful.

It is a strange strategy, but if you do it right, it's a win-win: you get the points and the satisfaction of helping not only the original asker, but hopefully anyone else in a similar situation.

> I think that requiring politicians to make public their statements explaining their the decisions on behalf of their constituents would be and unalloyed public good

Sure, this is fine, but that's very different from requiring all their interactions to be public. Put it this this: how often do you ever hear anything insightful or intelligent in a public congressional/senate hearing? It's always politicians trying to ask really stupid gotcha questions that will make them look good to the audience at home.
I used a burner gmail account to try it out. It was slow enough the idea of creating new burner gmail accounts every time I wanted to use it was uninteresting.

IIRC, it was below 128kbit/s for me, though there was at least one mesh hop away from a node that had a directional antenna pointed towards 444 Castro. Perhaps it was faster if your local node happened to have a direct uplink to either 444 or the 'plex.
Mm, no, I think I agree with your original assessment. You and the top comment both seem correct.

(Also, no need to think of it as a shame game. It's more interesting to learn something.)

Let's put it this way. If you're mistaken, then I don't understand it either, so hopefully someone will explain.

More concretely, reading the list of how to defend against narcissism, it felt like lots of people tend to have some of these traits, but usually not all of them. If it's a partial match, how should you interpret it? Is there some sort of narcissistic meter that goes up as you accumulate points?

It seems hard to define.
Unions don't kill industries because in many cases union and non-union companies serve an industry at the same time.

Free trade moves industries elsewhere.

But actually killing an industry: technology, war, social changes, demand and laws that outlaw things.

It doesn’t happen very often but each time there was a new developer on the team they made such mistake, that’s a way to teach them about valgrind (what a wonderful software!) I guess.
We work in a ‘low latency’ domain where heap allocation is avoided, this may explain that it happens more often to us.
Finite differences are simple in cubes and domains that can be mapped to one. Not so much in an arbitrary tetrahedral mesh.
They're not incorrect.

Firstly, you're assuming independent probabilities between the students.

If it's a single class of 30, for certain skills it might be much more likely than pow(0.5, 30) if they were all specifically coached on that particular skill, or if there are selection effects impacting what type of person ends up in that group of 30.

Secondly, even if we grant the assumption of independence, the claim doesn't rely on "unlikely values for ... small". There's many small towns with a student body of only 5 or less people, and pow(0.5, 5) isn't that unlikely.
English also holds onto gender for some French loan words (fiancée, blonde), accent marks, Latin plurals (cacti), the Latin notion of the word (viruses because viri is bad Latin), and occasionally Latin gender and plural (dominatrices). But not Greek plurals, so it's octopuses, not octopodes.

Did you see https://doublecmd.sourceforge.io/gallery/?
Yeah, I find it circuitously poses similar questions over and over, with vague allegories towards hypothetical application, and provides no real conclusions. For example in the part about evaluation order, a long walk through all the different observations, and some small ideas of what "mathematica does", and as I read hoping for a final conclusion on the section, a redirect to a new subject. Feels like I was listening to a joke with no punchline, on the edge of the seat over and over again. In the end I don't know what I was hoping for, but I feel the key works in the field of Algorithmic Information Theory, expresses all of these ideas more succinctly, the irony of which is not lost on me. Wolfram is a physicist who wants to be a computer scientist? A computer scientist who wants to be a mathematician? None of the above in the pursuit of all of the above? I always walk away from his ramblings feeling the same way. I did find he had some great occasionally insightful observation, but to what effect? I'd like to see what happens when he takes an approach like this to a more applied problem, rather than this endless open-ended "future of
..." (Physics, computing, etc)

I think variational problems are more naturally understood through energy minimization. You start with the energy of the system and try to minimize it via derivatives. Then you arrive at a variational problem. The differential equation is then more of an afterthought.

I'd bet that 90% of Javascript code probably still runs today, but that's only because I think that so much JS has been written in recent years compared to the early years.

If you take the average codebase from, let's say 2006, I would honestly put down money that under 25% would still run to this day.

While most churn that people complain about on the frontend now is "optional" churn, the first two decades were full of breakage. Not only are there wide swaths of APIs that have been rightly removed, there are even keywords that have been deprecated and aren't available in strict mode.
I will say with well-defined projects you can turn it over to ide developers and they can turn on and off options and generate release and debug builds in the gui without having to become experts.

But yeah, figuring out what linker options were generated or even how to version a project takes a lot of digging into the bowels of cmake or a couple laps through the documentation.

Flight gives birds greater protection from predation, which makes evolution towards biologies that pay a higher metabolic cost for greater longevity more advantageous. The same thing applies to larger animals, like cows, which tend to have longer lifespans once you normalize for heart/metabolic rate.

You're right; the utilizationization is insufficient.
I'd say English listeners are incredibly fault-tolerant because of how diverse English speakers are. Languages with fewer, more localized speakers are less tolerant of poor pronunciation because there's less variety in what they hear.
If you mean the extra work is exporting your libraries and having a list of all your sub_projects in the root CMakeLists.txt, then yes.

I think it's minimal work, as I would like to have all my libraries imported and linked anyway:

find_package(MyLib)
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} PRIVATE MyLib::MyLib)

This looks tidy any more explicit, avoids transitive leakage and more.

Taiwan has never considered the US more important than China because it considers itself China.

I don't really get what you are saying here though. I don't buy that US control over Taiwan is slipping, but even claiming that suggests your original point about Vietnam is wrong.
Everyone uses the same communications technology. Your email and Turkish email are the same, an attack on one is an attack on the other, and a defense of one is a defense of the other. This isn't World War II where German communications are encrypted on Engima machines while American communications are encrypted by translation into Navajo.

Your tanks are quite different from Turkish tanks: Turkish tanks are located in Turkey. You can bomb Turkey as much as you want without compromising a single American tank.

It's always about probing for consistency, congruence, and naturalness. You're never going to be able to spot every lie every time, only individual lies. For example, most women and a few men are able to act improv, that is lie fluidly without hesitation. It's only if you know directly what they're saying isn't true or after asking deeper questions that it becomes apparent if they don't know what they're talking about or begin to contradict themselves.

As my grandmother used to say: "One lie leads to another. Tell the truth because lying is too much work." I would also add that getting caught lying severely destroys trust and so isn't conducive to society either.
In the past, seasonal migrate workers from Sichuan&Qinghai province would travel to work in Xinjiang. With the poverty alleviation scheme set out by government, companies would hire locals first, not only that, they also asked all kinds of companies to set up factories to provide factories in Xinjiang to provide more jobs. One of them was actually Apple supplier, then got banned by Apple due to having Uygur workers. Any company hires Uygurs will not be able to sell to the US now. That's the reality. the idea is to have 13 million people cannot work in any factory.

Yes, workers' condition is not as good as in US. And yes, there is a world outside US.

Yes, China wants to use economic development to stablize the region (1/5 of China) and eliminate separates movement. I am Chinese, so I am biased to say no to separation. And I want a stable China.

Since the damage caused by severe nuclear accidents is essentially permanent, we cannot recover from them. So in the long run, we cannot afford even an accident per century, and thus, cannot afford nuclear power.

This is just equivocating. I can use "Taiwan" and "China" to refer to different states regardless of whether Taiwan sometimes uses analogous terms to refer to the same thing. Not only do I know what I mean, I know that you know what I mean.

And yes, Taiwan is moving in the direction of closer ties to China.
