The final warning is something that's not a joke.

To quote a buddy of mine, after I jumped on Discord to play some other game with him, as I woke him out of his Factorio slumber: "Help, get me out of here. I don't remember building all this, nor when I last went to bed."

He's no longer allowed to play Factorio.

When another buddy recently bought it on sale and we told him this same story, he simply laughed it off. The last we've heard of him since was a few weeks back on Discord, simply stating "my god".

I agree. That is what happens when you start worshiping the permanent bureaucracy instead of whipping them into shape.

You are pointing out that neonazi groups exists and did rallies.

Those groups often call for "free speech" and complain about being silenced.

This is a great idea, I bet one could find a bit-faster fftw that would be close enough for many applications, but it would apply a statistical approach to each weight.

> sucrose and fructose double liver fat production when compared to glucose

Of course it does. Sucrose is 50/50 fructose/glucose and fructose uses the liver as the metabolic pathway but glucose does not.

Pretty clueless that the linked article tries to correlate these results with type 2 diabetes, when insulin resistance is caused by glucose intake. The only correlation there is that if you're consuming a lot of fructose, you're probably consuming a lot of glucose, too.

I've got about 40 or so playlists on SoundCloud for individual techno DJs I like, as well as a couple for general techno mixes - they're all the ones with "techno" in the title :) You'll find a some overlap with the artists in your playlist in fact, I've got playlists for Ben Sims, The Advent and Drumcell that I found in the first minute of scrolling through it.

What sort of techno do you prefer? The artists I've got are mostly the tougher end of European techno, there's also some Detroit techno, acid techno and hard techno/schranz. You can look at my likes for my favourites...

I've also been into techno since the 90s and it's still my favourite thing in the world :) The combination of relentless kick drum and the constantly changing synths and percussion never fails to draw me in. It manages to sooth my ADHD with the constant heartbeat of the kick drum while the constant progression of everything else serves to keep my attention from wondering off after a few bars.

Not to get too far into a debate about this, as we're well off the path of the article now, but I'm genuinely not sure if you've thought of this. Your argument:

>the discrepancy comes from the types of jobs that men and women are in.

only comes down to just being a moving the goal posts sort of thing from disparity in pay to disparity in expectation and opportunity for young men versus women. It's not a compelling argument against a gender pay gap, overall.

Using your own metric of a broad view, it's probably more of a problem than a specific man versus a specific woman, because it points to a theory that societal norms serve to re-enforce the expectation of taking jobs in lower paying fields on women versus men.

Anyway, any workplace that wouldn't let you have a conversation about this topic, in a respectful, non-bigoted way is maybe not a healthy place to work. The problem is, these types of arguments are (in my experience as a professional) a thin veneer of 'civility' over a massive ocean of bigotry and idiocy in many cases. I'm afraid employers take a hard line, because it's easy to slip into that ocean.
omg, brace for BS marketers start putting fake cost numbers on their products to boost sales..
One problem is what counts as politics. For a past example, someone talking about their opposite gender partner would not be seen as political as someone talking about their same gender partner. Someone talking about getting married may not think it is political, but when that action is denied to another group then merely bringing up marriage would be a political action. Even today there are still groups who cannot get married.
>In Factorio, if you don't have enough let's say steel plates, you _HAVE_ to go and increase your ore production.

No you don't. Unless you have literally zero supply. You can always settle for "good enough" and live on less than perfect supply of any resource.
That's what tends to happen, at least in the code I've worked on. C/C++ for the bits that need to "talk" to the OS, python/perl/bash for scripting purposes, and Fortran for the number-crunching core.

I’m very careful about the types of games I play. I like one-and-done experiences that lead me through a story. I avoid anything with xp/grinding mechanics, which I consider largely-exploitive.

Like movies and books, these games have a beginning and an end and a set duration between the two. Examples include Portal (1&2), Gris, Sayonara Wild Hearts, and Journey.
The online editor is nice when you're in a hurry. PlantUML can also be hooked up into emacs org mode for inline diagrams. I've just been using the online editor to snag pngs to embed in google docs, then I upload the source diagram text as a separate file in the folder, or paste it in as appendix.

Curious about your Britain-bashing last line, I had a quick gander.

https://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/whp-origins/era-6-the...

Seems to suggest that Britain may well have meddled in Egypt's industrialisation, but is by no means absolutely to blame. There's a myriad of reasons Egypt didn't industrialise, as you'd expect from history - nothing's quite so simple.

In fact, it could be argued that Britain did more to raise Egypt up than any other country playing the game at that point in time, of which the UK was just one actor.

People tend to forget that one of the main reasons Britain herself industrialised early and comprehensively was simply thet fact it sits on vast amounts of coal. Egypt does not.
> Critics, including environmentalist David Attenborough, say seabed mining is untested and has a largely unknown environmental impact. Google, BMW, AB Volvo, and Samsung SDI have backed a call for a moratorium on deep-sea mining.
>
> Dr Sandra Schoettner, deep-sea biologist at Greenpeace, said: "Losing control of a 25-tonne mining machine at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean should sink the idea of ever mining the deep sea."

Sheesh, I guess these particular environment activists can never allow anything new, since we don't know what impact it will have and any failure of any part of a system, no matter how repairable or minor, is ipso facto proof that the project is a disaster. This would be like completely writing off SpaceX after a Starship tank rupture in a launchpad test.

The article seems to indicate that this project is being done responsibly, with oversight and caution. Things will go wrong (as they have), but this wasn't some sort of catastrophic failure like Deepwater Horizon or something. I'm curious to see if they can extract these minerals without doing widespread environmental damage, and I think they should at least be given a chance to prove it or not.
You might enjoy boardgames as a similar hobby. Many varieties focus on set collection and push your luck. All have a social aspect that games cannot replace. The core principles are the same. One difference however, is you have to keep track of the rules yourself, the game isn't going to enforce them for you.

Games are great and irreplaceable activity that we as humans need and computer games are even more awesome but totally mess up this great thing about games, they make it too easy to fall into the other extreme and get diminished returns while sinking too much time that should be spent on other things such as socialization, phisical activities and work if games eat into it.

Not all games are equal though, some of them respect this and force us into sessions or have a journey with a beginning and an ending.

I personally prefer this but I can understand why it might bother you. When others get credit, they unwittingly also end up supporting whatever I created. My goal is to benefit the greater good of the company. I get paid the same regardless, so if others have to support my creation that means less obligations for me.

Great post!

I once had to port a siamese neural network from Tensorflow to Apple's CoreML to make it run on an iPhone. Siamese neural networks have a cross convolution step which wasn't something CoreML could handle. But CoreML could multiply two layer outputs element-wise.

I implemented it using a fourier transform (not a fast fourier transform), with separate re and im parts, since a fourier transform is just a matrix multiplication, and convolution is element-wise multiplication in the fourier domain. Unsurprisingly it was very slow.

Then you need to sense what is the workplace consensus on political topics and pretend you agree, otherwise you'll risk getting pushed away at work.

However everyone at workplace labelled him as a "druggie" and eventually he was dismissed as HR bought the rumours that he is doing drugs, which was of course false.

>a problem with a system

Short recap: Vavilov was prosecuted for political opposition, not science. Two arguements for this: 1 - read his sentence and biography; 2 - genetics of that day was not an alternative and did not get a more sufficient evidence than agrobiology, that is the real explanation of genetic research being put aside (but never stopped).

>the way science is supposed to be done

There was a lot of good thinking done last century about how you can not disentangle science and ideology or other cultural biases, starting from defining science. Science is a tool, not a goal. So you can say
> It is a problem with a system that looks towards <private gain/God's love/progress for whole humanity/etc>, says what science fits that best, and embeds it into society

and it works everytime. Unless you've got an ideology based on science? That's what historical materialism attempted by the way.
My understanding is that marine ecosystems are interconnected and can be surprisingly sensitive, and that we humans depend on them mre than you'd think. It also makes sense to assume that deep-sea mining is damaging and disruptive by default. It therefore makes sense to be very very cautious about it.

That's as far as I can wrap my head around it. Maybe there are people here with some expertise who can elaborate.
Since you honored me by referencing my article, I’ll offer my interpretation. Notices he says “the language”. At the time, Fortran was the language for numerical/scientific computing. By 1982 it had evolved significantly from its origins 30 years earlier, but was still called Fortran. He is saying that it will continue to evolve, but no matter what it will look like in another 30 years, it will still be the language, and will still be called Fortran. He was prescient: Fortran 90 included radical advances to the language, but it remained, pretty much, the scientific programming language, and was still called Fortran. The last sentence of the article, which is from 2014, refers back to the epigram, and predicts that Julia may be the language that finally supplants Fortran for use in science and engineering. Now, Fortran is still dominant in high performance scientific computing, C++ has a niche in particle physics, but Julia is, in fact, making rapid headway across a wide variety of disciplines. So I think my prediction is turning out to be pretty good.
And I question needs vs wants.

Many people are all about how they want to work. They may or may not be about how others work, working together, or willing to adapt how they work.

And we all have reasons, no worries, no judgement.

That said, I have seen many wants framed as needs. Have done that myself. Have also adapted how I work to see those things evaporate away too.

What is worth what?

Sometimes working differently is lower risk, friction for higher value than attempting to work in a specific way can be.

Cheers!

> The best example is that it is forbidden to have public statistics based on religion. Not because religion doesn't matter (it does), not because religion is irrelevant (it isn't), but because pointing out our different beliefs is the best way to pit people against each other

Not sure that’s such a good example. When something is painfully obvious to everyone, the suppressing statistics only leads to more resentment, conspiracy theories and political unrest (or support for far-something groups).

A good example is terrorism in Europe. You can be pretty sure that if the race/religion isn’t mentioned, it’s not white & atheist/christian.
I study warfare and am a pilot.

The doctrine of the US Air Force is that they will have the best airplanes at any cost to achieve air dominance. They literally don't care about price as long as they get the lethality and qty. they want.

Hence they will never look at low-cost fighters like the F-5, A-10 or A-29 for their own use, except as maybe trainers or Marine use.

The F-22 is no longer made. Around 189 were built and there's about 150 left. It's a great plane, but the low count is a great concern in case of war (with China.) You can lose 150 planes in a couple of days in a kinetic war.

The F-35 has numerous show-stopping problems, plus even more numerous irritating problems. The US needs about 1,000 operational ones, plus another 1,000 for our allies, to be an effective deterrent to China. (Since the US has 11 carriers, that's enough F-35s to populate them.)

The reason we need so many planes is that China has almost 18,000 ships, which can be used to blockade (defend) the S. China Sea (a tactic they accidently discovered in the last Taiwan Strait conflict.) So that leaves aerial/ICBM attacks.

The US MIC has prioritized pork instead of results, so we need to work on qty. The Biden administration is perceived as weak gobally, which is unacceptable for a superpower - that gets millions of people killed until the US demonstrates dominance again.

(WW2 in Europe started due to US isolationism. Both Germany and Japan thought of the US as country bumpkins in 1940. Today, the CCP thinks of us as decadent and divided, thanks to BLM and antifa.)

During a border dispute in 1969, Russia decided to nuke Beijing because they wouldn't take no for an answer, but the US foolishly told them not to. The CCP has already threatened in 2020 to use nukes against the US if the Three Gorges Dam is attacked.

The only reasons the CCP hasn't successfully invaded Taiwan yet are:

- the Taiwan Strait is about 80 miles wide at the narrrowest. Considering Germany couldn't invade Britain, which is only 20 or so miles from France, you can see how 80 miles is a very strong deterrent.

- Russia told the CCP to stop saber-rattling on previous attempts

- The US came to Taiwan's aid in the last two attempts, and has a policy of including Taiwan under its umbrella (like half the world's countries.)

So here we are, on the brink of war with a President who can't climb a flight of stairs on his own.

I don’t think its failure, its just obfuscation of reality. Make promise that you will be able put 3x (or more) different use-cases in to same plane. You have to make many tradeoffs to put into same design: carrier jet, conventional jet and jump jet.
Actually you have built 3x pretty “mediocre” jets (if we look from perspective) how it could be if there would be 3x separate designs. I can bet costs would be comparable
