I am currently learning a lot about the cellular Integrated Stress Response for my research. It is fascinating. There is one curious problem I particularly love. Even though a lot of neuronal communication can be through transient calcium signaling, the ISR is also signaled through calcium. Because they use the same signal, it makes sense that something like overactive neurons could eventually lead to stress. And yet somehow the two signals are differentiated.

It really shows how everything in biology is basically a gaussian curve and you always want to be near the center, but if you steer too far towards either end things start to break down.
This is by Kenneth Rogoff, who, it seems, isn't above fudging the numbers in research to make his point.

Not that that means he's wrong, but his credibility as an expert isn't good.
Yes. But that doesn't stop people.
If it's okay, can I contact you and ask a few questions?

There's been a response to the US credit position already. It's not impossible but it does get spotted when things go wrong. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_federal_governme...

The US is "different" here, because they have to be proven wrong after many years in this position. Any other country/currency instead needs to be proven better than USD and trustworthy in a long run.
You sure those weren't actually Manji? They mark where temples are.

And later they were also fighting Vietnam. I never claimed china is nice.

I claim trade embargos on countries that are not nice, are not helpful. As there are not many "nice" countries out there. Only a couple of small ones, come to my mind.
Er, +1000

Man, if I had forty hours instead of forty minutes, I bet I could actually have explained this all.

This book is my attempt at those forty hours.

This project has evolved to more than just forty hours.

"Is that the one that used a MySQL database on the desktop?"

It's been a few months since I gave up, but IIRC Akonadi has a few storage backends.

I was looking for a GUI mail client to replace using my various webmail based interfaces. As much as I love Plasma, KMail and its ilk were painful. Akonadi still has issues all these years later, and gave me trouble setting it up. The messages produced are less than helpful.

Once KMail was running, it was fine to use, albeit with an occasional crash, just at the wrong times so it got annoying. I stopped using it.
Oh my bad. I mistakenly thought use of LMGTFY to be a narcissistic troll. Missed the part where searching google is part of the experiment.

Central banks FX reserves make up only a sliver of the demand for long bonds (5+ years of maturity). Long bonds are generally not considered money substitutes, so FX reserves have no interest in holding them.

Foreign central banks may hold a sizable proportion of short bonds, particularly 3-month T-Bills. But there’s essentially an infinite wall of demand for short bonds at the near zero bound. So maybe loss of reserve status increases borrowing costs from 0.02% to 0.15%. Not exactly a catastrophe for the budget deficit.

This is why reserve status is essentially irrelevant to borrowing costs. All developed market governments, regardless of their currency’s reserve status, can borrow cheap in today’s regime.

It wasn't so much evolved from OS 9 as copied; macOS is an evolution of NeXTSTEP/OpenStep, not the classic OS.
Same here in France, 30 days on top of public holidays, and if you work more than 35 hours/week, you get the difference in a special type of time off that has some limitations
Indeed, I was referring to Fast Boot but did not recall the exact name. Thank you for providing further insight on how it works.
It is an inhibitor of whats called the Integrated Stress Response. A “normal” cell is one that uses glucose to create energy and create additional fuel for mitochondria to make LOTS of fuel (caveat- not every cell, this varies a lot, but often enough). This fuel is used to power everything and keep it working well.

Under stress, a lot of that normal machinery is shut down, which means a neuron may not communicate anymore, as all these normal things need lots of energy.

I am not as sure on this point, but I think stress generally means a cell takes in less glucose; it shuts down mitochondria, and overall produces less energy.

As a qui gong practicer and mountaineer, I am very well aware of chinas atrocities.

But like you said, the US is maybe using soldiers to kill in national interest, too. And ethnic issues? How about black lifes matter?

But yes, the very big difference is, that in the US there can be a open discussion about, with potential political implications - while in china state cencorship is build in and the one party rule is not to be questioned.
I would wager that the data is imperfect and the points are tweened to discrete samples rather than having a high detail point-to-point path. You'll probably see traveling over land more like cutting a corner. Just a hunch.
If we're talking about general problems, then I don't think we can be satisfied with "sometimes it's a problem with types and sometimes it's a UI bug." That's not general.
Rigidly interpreting documents depending on their file extension is worse than trying to figure out the type of a document before interpreting it. File extensions are a brittle and primitive system that does not fix any security issue.
This is a spectacularly terrible take.

Documentation shouldn't be difficult if your engineers are competent either. It only needs to be done once, and saves a bunch of time.

This is in line with the "suckless" philosophy too, they forgo documentation because they'd like their user base "small and elitist" with "no novices asking stupid questions".
I don't think I've seen a single person in any office using the calc on windows- anyone who needs to do simple calculations more than once a day has a physical calc on their desk- so much better and easier to use.
The obvious first step toward the brighter future is to refrain from using any and all software that utilizes the malevolent formats you mentioned. Doing otherwise would mean simply being untrue to one's own conscience and word.
And can you change them? Or is gnome still less customisable than even macOS?
They support GSuite and azure AD it appears. So it is not limited to just gmail. When you pay for GSuite I think it will be a bit less risky than when using their free gmail offering.

Regardless, it would have been nice if you could use your own identity provider.

Poor standard of living, no freedom, constantly being lied to - and being aware of it and having finally the courage to do something about. Because other people had the courage first. Thats how it came down.

Chinas populations is increasing their standard of living. So you think the outside world has to cripple their economy so the chinese people turn against their rulers? How would you feel about that, if you would live in china just trying to pass by - and have your income halfed because of foreign powers? Would you believe the foreign powers words that they did so because of human rights?
Well, which Edge and how? Because I'm using Chromium Edge, have enabled the option "Show block option in autoplay settings" in edge://flags/, changed the "Media autoplay" option to "Block"... and it still autoplays videos.
iTerm is certainly good, but I was comparing it more to Terminal.app

This is actually how we acquired our first cat.
A cat just turned up at our door one day and basically moved in - we didn't feed her at first, but she slept and played with us (3 kids)

Eventually my parents managed to track down the actual owner, turns out the cat and her sister didn't get along too well in the same house, she only went there to eat.

The owner was more than happy for us to properly adobt her.

No clue why she chose us, but cats are territorial animals so it makes sense that they can just not like tho they're living with.
It reminds me of thinking that invoking the cat command is benign: https://seclists.org/bugtraq/1999/Sep/432
The only thing I like about windows is the image preview. You can easily scroll through a folder and look at all the images while you window is maximized. You can do the same in MacOS but I don’t think gallery is as good.

Previews capabilities are much better than any any built in tool or Adobe reader.
Sounds obvious now but pinch to zoom was a big new feature on iPhone that traditional phones, even those with touch capability, did not have muti-touch. Part of this was capacitive touch screen technology that few other devices had at the time, instead having cheaper resistive which pretty much required a stylus to do anything but press in a particular spot on screen. I don't believe android devices had muti-touch originally even though they had capacitive touch screens. Touchpads on laptops and touch screens added multi-touch years later.
Even in the desert where the landscape in always infux with sand dunes, people used to travel the desert and they still do in Africa and the middle east, they look up the into the sky for stars etc.Beduens still do it there, they unril recently-used to travel either walking or in camel convoys from Syria to Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. But when I got lost in the desert - car broke down- at dusk I had to wait walk, in the wrong direction as it turned out, untill sunset.
Akonadi was an ambitious idea that was really badly implemented. I've not used KDE for ages so I have no idea what the current state of play is - I think they now disable it by default. Someone should have probably rewritten it with sqlite, back then.
Kara Swisher's Interview with Tim Cook airs Monday at 5am ET
No, that‘s not exactly what happens, albeit a commen misconception. Win 95 (and earlier releases) were not just a GUI shell on top of DOS. They were Operating Systems (with their own functions and capabilities) that used DOS as part of their boot process and to provide compatibility for some things (oder drivers, etc.)

If you executed a DOS program within Win 95/3.1 it did not run on the underlying DOS “layer” but in some sort of DOS virtual machine.

So what happened when you booted into “dos mode”? You really booted into DOS like you said without the last step of loading Windows. But loading Windows was not just like startx but more a continuation of the boot process into the Windows Operating system.
I'm not sure that the criticisms for the article and parent comment are quite so easy to dismiss wholesale, but I do concur that many of them are actually criticisms of the GNOME DE and not so much Linux itself. In my experience as a daily Linux user it was somewhere between 2-3 years ago that KDE Plasma surpassed GNOME as the most productive desktop environment for Linux, and the distance between the two only appears to widening still. I would love to see what impact the simple choice to swap plain Ubuntu for Kubuntu would have had on their conclusions.
> Central banks FX reserves make up only a sliver of the demand for long bonds (5+ years of maturity).

The average Treasury bond duration is about 60 months, and falling, so that's still half the bonds we're talking about (and rising).
I went from Mac to Linux at home.

My experience as someone who uses Linux but isn’t great at it, is that it works well as a desktop os.

I’m lazy I willing to pay for simplicity so I bought a preinstalled Linux laptop. And it’s been chugging along fine. Everything Works (excepting wake forms sleep when I close the lid sometimes, it’s like gambling...but I manually suspend and that works)

I takes a little research to figure out which application are available (I’ve heard of none of these video editors..) but I haven’t had any issues. Libre office works great.

I even got unreal engine compiled and running. It’s pretty nice experience overall.
TextEdit is closer to WordPad than Notepad in terms of functionality. It supports rich text edition, and is more than a plain text editor.
That was my single biggest pet-peeve of C++. A variable appears in the middle of a member function? Good luck figuring out what owns it. Is it local? Owned by the class? The super-class? (And in that case - which one?)

The added mental load of tracking variables' sources builds up.

Saw that too, and across Europe in December.

Found the answer in the sites FAQ:

> Why do ships sometimes appear to move across land?

> In some cases this is because there are ships navigating via canals or rivers that aren’t visible on the map. Generally, though, this effect is an artefact of animating a ship between two recorded positions with missing data between, especially when the positions are separated by a narrow strip of land. We may develop the map to remove this effect in the future.
Brew always had and always will have a rolling-release model. Pin your dependencies or don't, but you can't blame Brew for this situation.
That's an interesting list following a comment about China. At least corruption, social and racial tensions apply there too - I have no information about the rest. (Also not sure what "cultural output" really is in this context)
> I noticed the spec allows unquoted strings. What's the reasoning for this? In my experience unquoted strings cause nothing but trouble, and are confusing to humans who may interpret them as keywords.

Unquoted strings are much nicer for humans to work with. All special keywords and object encodings are prefixed with sigils (@, &, $, #, etc), so any bare text starting with a letter is either a string or an invalid document, and any bare text starting with a numeral is either a number or an invalid document.

> Any reason for not using RFC2119 keywords in the spec? Using them should make the spec easier to read.

I use a superset of those keywords to give more precision in meaning: https://github.com/kstenerud/concise-encoding/blob/master/ce...
Well, that was a lovely video in itself. Thanks for sharing.
I did explicitly state that my points were very subjective - they are personal opinions and I didn't try to hide that. I also did not try to hide that I like macOS - that's why I use it now, after all. As I explicitly said, my attempts with a linux laptop setup have been primarily an insurance policy against Apple continuing to run the Mac into the ground - not out of idealism.

But answers to a few specific points:

- Okular fails to render weird PDFs for me - things like NXP datasheets are notable for this. It is my usual PDF reader on Linux though. Additionally, the few features I called out were not an exhaustive list, just examples. Preview also makes it very easy to do things like combine PDFs or remove pages from existing PDFs, or do things like crop all of the pages in a PDF in one operation - this is surprisingly useful!.

- tearing is something I have never managed to actually completely eliminate. I can get rid of it for the most part on single display setups (although setting TearFree introduces video stuttering on intel), but on multi-display setups I have never managed to lose it - on both intel & amd's OSS stacks, and on nvidia's proprietary driver. I fully admit this is something that disproportionately annoys me and that others may not care about, but it's a solved issue on Windows and macOS and has been for years. Using wayland instead of X11 resulted in a lot of apps getting very poor performance or flat breaking when rendering - but every time I try wayland it has gotten a lot better since the last time. But replacing a 30+ year old windowing system with a new one is a pretty huge undertaking, so I'm not surprised it's taking a while!

- things like kdeconnect/gsconnect etc don't support integration with iOS. It's not their fault - iOS is restrictive and Apple keep it that way very deliberately, but it achieves their aim very well - it keeps people tied in to Apple's ecosystem. Losing all of the niceties at once is pretty jarring - and even if I replace everything at once, eg going macOS -> linux and iOS -> android, etc it still doesn't end up as fully integrated.

For Belgium (maybe even Europe), yes, the Belgian government can and has decided to void international copyright law in specific instances. Source: https://thebelgianscientist.wordpress.com/2018/09/18/belgian...

Something that used to plague me is that I had database processes importing Excel docs from clients, and if the first few rows in a column were numbers, SQLServer assumed that all the values must be numbers. Then it would run into cells containing other strings, and instead of revising its assumption, it would just import them as null. Since clients often didn't have great data hygiene, it was a problem.

I finally solved it by exporting to csv, and using third-party software that handled its own import and did it correctly.

Depressing. I'll call it like it is. This is an idiotic response that lacks common sense. It's so common in the pro Egypt camp.

Most of the inventory is filled with short range equipment. The only jets able to reach Ethiopia are the Rafales and the SU-35 which make up a minority. They're not enough. More importantly, wars are not won by equipment (though they help immensely).

I don't get why such reductive opinions are so common when this issue is discussed.
Or put the action definitions outside of the repository for which they apply.

I see the advantages of having CI configuration right next to the code, but once you start deploying multiple branches or accepting outside contributors, the downsides start to outweigh the benefits.

I thought this review was super fair and I really enjoyed his takes. I had a Macintosh from 2012-2016 and can definitely agree with many of his opinions (preview.app is amazing, notifications on Mac are amazing).

I've been on / off Linux as a daily driver since 2009. I went off Linux during the Gnome 2 / Unity debacle, had to use Windows for engineering school (not compsci or "tech") and had a Mac mini in there (2012-2016). I agree with the author and I left Macintosh when I felt that Apple simple didn't care about their "computer" division anymore. With the M1 and new advancements in their desktop OS, I think Apple is starting to put more effort in their laptops / desktops again. I think apt-get is amazing as well and it would be cool to see a REAL package manager for MacOS.

For what it's worth, I run RHEL workstation, use an iPhone, and have been thinking of getting a Macbook as "corporate compatibility layer" for when a client uses teams or MS office or some junk like that that has no browser or Linux support.
I actually use KDE generally on Linux, I find GNOME very difficult to get along with :)

edit: and desktop distro of choice is generally Arch for me - it's been a long time since I used ubuntu.
I don't understand why Haskell gets brought up in the middle of an otherwise interesting and useful article. This sort of thing cannot happen in Haskell. And while Haskell is not universally admired, I can't recall seeing Haskell's flavor of type inference being a reason why someone claimed to dislike Haskell.
I’d encourage you to also take a look at one of the very early versions of Mac OS, up to System 4 or so, from before they added multitasking. IMO, it was better designed—masterfully well designed, really—and a lot of the UI decisions make more sense.

Ireland: It's considered more important to share a timezone with NI than with the rest of the EU. The UK is likely going to keep DST as a "see, we can make decisions europe doesn't" thing, so that means we will do the same to keep time with NI.
