> Dependency management is still a nightmare (as is the entire build system really, given that you don't have any standard C++ build system)

CMake sucks but it’s OK that CMake quickly became so dominant, because at least it’s everywhere. It’s also peculiar, unhelpful, and dangerous in the same sort of general way as C++. So, I find CMake to be very comfortable, and I like it, and I wouldn’t be entirely surprised if Bjarne announced one day that CMake is now the standard C++ build system.
Ah, that is a good idea! :) I think that adding a text field wouldn't be that difficult, though I like the idea of it being an optional thing. Tracking it and sending a report might be another matter, but I'm sure I could figure something out. I will add the text field to the list of other features to implement. Thanks for the idea!
I'm glad you realized the connection with voting, because it is the same issue in a real sense: no one gets to vote for an open or a closed system, they only get to vote for an iPhone or a Samsung (which is pretty locked down) or some random third-party phone that will probably suck; you are acting as if the people who voted for an iPhone are agreeing with every single decision made about that platform instead of merely wanting it "on the balance". I honestly mostly use Apple devices because I think their touch screens and trackpads are so good as to be "evil magic"... I thereby own a zillion of them and even use them as my personal devices despite also currently suing them over this very anti-competitive App Store issue, and yet my "vote"--and the votes of everyone like me (and I imagine there are many many such people)--are being counted by you as "voting with my wallet" for a closed system. The reality is that I am simply making the best of a shitty situation with buying an iPhone, and the fact that Apple is able to get away with having a closed system because of some other key benefit doesn't mean they should get to do so :/. Hell: at this point, it would be extremely expensive to switch platforms, because Apple and Google have conspired to build a massive wall preventing people from importing purchases of apps from one platform to the other. I would even lose easy access to all of the music and movies I had gotten on iTunes (which is another reason a lot of people get Apple devices: because they are tied into a vertical content monopoly and a lot of the content I want is effectively only available from Apple). ...and like, I hope you realize that the ridiculously large number of people who bought and iPhone and then--despite it being extremely difficult to do so with requiring the usage of often scary software from annoyingly people from random websites--jailbreak it so they can fix this one key flaw they see in this product... a number that is already stupid high--we tended to get like 12% of users at steady state--but which would obviously be extremely high if only it could have been easier to do!
I don't understand how the author arrives at the conclusion that "[air quality] is often the most effective health intervention, period".

How do you take that away from the plots? If you're in the US my prime take-away would be to keep your BMI in check.

The first graph shows ~2 deaths per 1000 people per year. Surely more than 2 persons/1000/year die in those countries. What are the causes for the other ~10-15 deaths/1000/year?

Given the information in the article, I don't see anything to support the central thesis about air quality. The reasoning for it is so thin that I have no idea whether it's true or not.
I just went this route to build a ML workstation. I was able to get a prebuilt with a 3090 for ~30% of a comparable build on https://lambdalabs.com/.

Now I just need to wait until next year to get the second 3090. I considered waiting for the new A4000s to launch to see if they'd have better inventory but figured 3090s have additional value as a gaming gpu.

I'd be curious how professional ML folks are fairing and what they're using -- it's not too late to cancel my build.
> they'd need a lot of horsepower in their device.

Googling "cellebrite forensic extraction device" shows a rugged laptop-like device in a case the size of a desktop PC. I'm not sure if that's the real thing or not, but in any case it doesn't look like space is a concern. There's plenty of room in that suitcase for a modern CPU, lots and lots RAM, and as much battery power as you need.
Is that market share based on total revenue or based on device count?

I'm pretty sure it's device count. Which means we are comparing $90 smart phones to $1200 iphones that will result in thousands of dollars spent through the apple ecosystem.

EVs reduce tailpipe exhaust near roads but it's worth noting that brake abrasion dust isn't going away anytime soon and it's considered very bad to breathe, possibly in the same league as diesel emission particles.[1] I guess regenerative braking on an EV reduces this somewhat.

Tire dust is also concerning.[2]

Even here in Poland. People burn anything to stay warm, oil even. The unhealthy pollution starts in November then ends in March. The entire time everyone, including children, are outside, pretending like it's not a problem. People running in the streets. And when you bring it up to people they get angry. Schools don't close, everyone continues like it's normal.

I'm moving back to the west coast USA soon. I could live in a shack and my family would be better off. People complain about the wildfires, but in Poland they get it every year, and for longer. Try forbidding your kids to go out(too young to wear a mask) the entire winter... Even if you somehow make the perfect environment at home, those kids will eventually have to physically go to school and brave pollution. Before the pandemic I was the only crazy one with a mask during high pollution days. If kids wore a mask because of pollution then I was told they would be ostracized.

So, other than that elephant in the room, it's a perfect country.

I used the same method and can confirm it was very effective for me as well.

An added bonus is reduced stress about time limits. After the first pass you have a big chunk (if not most) of the test done in little time - this feels good and also leaves you with a clearer idea of how much work and time is left.
I think the point is control.

Induction stoves are pretty good for dumping watts into water. However, it's very hard to get a good mid-range temperature. Gas makes it really straightforward to get something cooking at exactly the heat you want.
Well, yes, my assumption was that he was asking about the vaccines that are currently in use. The fraction of drugs/treatments, broadly speaking, that make it past stage 3, is <1%.
Regenerative braking largely solves the brake pad issue. Some EVs are efficient enough that brake rotors rusting over from not being used is a concern.
I think it used to boil faster? My grandma replaced her stove and noticed it took forever to boil. The service guy said regulations around the volume of gas have increased the time it takes to boil water.

No idea if that's true or not, but I'd believe it.

One of the problems with EV’s is that the brake discs are rusting because they almost never gets used.

We have done this in past. At one point we had 4 LLCs with 4 adsense accounts each making $30K per day. There was nothing fishy here it was perfectly legal and 100% legitimate traffic. Over time we even split our large website into multiple domains under these 4 accounts to make them profitable. Google eventually banned all 4 over time without ever telling us why. We shut down out company eventually.

I take it even further. Debuggers have to go and print statements should be converted into log statements where appropriate.

The reality is that you're not going to attach a debugger to a production service. If you are doing things correctly and have separate environments for test/integ/prod you are not going to attach a debugger. Even if you can attach a debugger, the odds of you catching something are pretty small (not talking about trivial things).

So you should: 1) instrument your code and have the proper debug/verbosity log levels for things 2) have a trivial way of altering the log levels 3) have a way to fetch the logs and diagnose what is going on solely based on the logs (and hopefully with something as simple as grep).

This is the way. There are times and places when debuggers can be useful, but in most situations I see them as a crutch that adds more friction instead of accelerating solving the problem
Guie Scheme does something similar then. It expands the call stack so that you can't have a stack overflow. Pretty neat since it allows you to write recursive functions without accumulators.

I suspect something like that is a bigger deal in eagerly evaluated languages.
> Zhu said he was experimenting by taking a limited amount of the drug, or microdosing, in an effort to boost his focus.

Microdosing is not a thing. It has never been a thing. There is no science backing it. Any benefits are at best due to the placebo effect. Stop with this tech bro culture nonsense already.
I said I've visited several sites in the Yucatan including the museum in Merida where they have a huge number of artifacts. So, it's safe to assume most all of what I saw there was Mayan.

It's very possible that some of what I saw at Cahokia is Mayan trade goods and that is why I asked if those cultures could have been in touch with each other.

To be clear, I did not say "archeologists deny there is a connection". I said the Park Rangers there denied it with a scripted response and refused to even discuss the possibility Mayans had been there.
And namecheap protects spammers.

I'm pretty sure this is the combo you go with if you want to do borderline illegal things.

Wow. I knew that balance transfers had similarly terrible rules, but I hadn't realized that normal usage can end up like this too. That's so... predatory. How is this even legal? If you pay everything in full such that your balance is $0 on a given day, what are they even charging interest on at the end of the billing cycle? The grace period just goes away for the whole billing period?

Thanks for this thread. A weird experience makes sense now: I met this man when he was on a bike. I figured it was a local asshole trying to be aggressive to a stranger in front of the woman he was riding with, with maybe 20% odds of also being an off duty cop.

Either that, or the Sausalito community just really shares a passionate opposition to cyclists rolling along the uncontested sides of quiet T intersections.
Kind of my take as well, I liked the honest self appraisal.
Google is pretty good at weeding out bad players and all these bad examples are often on margin. Unfortunately the bad guys are getting more and more sophisticated. Google is not entitled to admit every publisher into their program but needs to provide enough assurance to advertisers that their money will be well spent. Hence they are likely to make mistakes on side of caution. This hurts developers like us but it benefits a business like Google.

Sadly, there is no clear quality alternative to Google as of today. I have worked for the adnetworks that boast to be second to Google but in reality are pretty disgusting and filled with crappy advertisers and even shady publishers.
What sort of legislation could be put into place that would effectively prevent these sorts of situations without having horrible side effects?

The biggest pitfall I see with this is we’re extrapolating from large doses of air pollution to very tiny ones.

Clearly we have enough evidence to say that smoking a pack a day or living in a smog-filled city will cut years off your life. But we would need truly gigantic samples to show that blowing birthday candles or broiling fish once a week will cut weeks off your life.

Instead these conclusions are being derived on linear extrapolations from large air particulate doses. Yet many things in biology follow the principal of hormesis, where a small dose or a toxin may be harmless or even helpful.

Similar models have been used for years and are still the gold standard when predicting the health effects of radiation exposure. Yet mountains of evidence show that radiation workers, who are regularly exposed to small dosages of otherwise harmful regulation do not have anywhere near the cancer rates we’d expect from the linear extrapolation models.
It's a pity you're getting downvoted.
Lately I start to wonder if the symptoms of covid-19 are worse in areas with high air polution.

India is an example but in parts of the Netherlands where we have the worst air quality in Europe, we also see this.

It's hard to tell. But having a respiratory disease in an area of bad air quality won't help you.
Pretty much the entire ocean transportation industry, with the exception of container shipping, works this way. Prices are largely based on predictions of market conditions in your load port at the time of loading, and the the same wherever you’re sending the cargo.

If you’re trying to load cargo in an area with an undersupply of vessels, you’ll pay a lot for the opportunity. If you’re sending a ship to an area with an oversupply of vessels, you pay more for that because the company renting it to you doesn’t have good confidence in its ability to get a contract once your cargo is offloaded.

There probably wouldn't be repetitive complaints if Facebook had to stop their scummy business practices.

Zuck is essentially Blofeld in a hoodie.
That's the thing: Apple's exercising market power does bring all sorts of benefits to users. Obvious examples include the new privacy rules they're imposing, in-app purchases allowing any subscriptions to be cancelled with zero hassle. If Apple allowed other app stores, Facebook would almost certainly move to one that let them produce a far more invasive app. And the vast majority of the users will just download Facebook from the new store, because most people (myself included, tbh) value convenience over any absolutist stances about the software they use—see the past several decades of the free software movement.

The net result: Apple losing their monopoly means a huge influx of user-hostile behavior in apps.

Now, you're not wrong either—Apple does, in some cases, abuse their monopoly, and probably takes more of a cut than is fair from IAPs. (Although, quite frankly, I'd be shocked if the money from cheaper IAPs went to reducing prices and not increasing profits.) So yes, Apple's behavior here is harmful in some ways, but it does good in others. Like pretty much everything in this world, it ain't black and white.
https://etherscan.io/address/0x00000000219ab540356cbb839cbe0... shows the current total value staked for ETH2 at about $10B USD (4M ETH); 51% is $5.1B USD (2M ETH) with around 115M ETH in existence. Aave has about 0.6M ETH available to loan out at 0.76% APR (https://app.aave.com/reserve-overview/ETH-0xc02aaa39b223fe8d...)
This is about a 0.01% interest rate per hr (8760 compound periods per yr) https://www.calculatorsoup.com/calculators/financial/periodi...
Assuming the rest of the (1.4M) ETH to be staked could be obtained by loaning and converting from other staked Aave assets currently totaling at around $7.5B USD for the same rate and same period, then the interest fee for a 1 hr 2M ETH loan is: $5.1B USD * 0.0001 = $5(10)K USD. Over 50 hedge funds have the $6.375B USD or more in assets (https://www.pionline.com/interactive/largest-hedge-fund-mana...) that could provide for Aave's max LTV of 80% to borrow the $5.1B USD of ETH. Alternatively, a PoW attack on ETH assuming NiceHash, which currently only has 7% of the total ETH hash rate available, rates for 1 hr is ~$2M USD (https://www.crypto51.app note out of date figures). So, relatively the current ETH2 PoS attack cost is around 4 times smaller than the ETH PoW attack cost or an absolute difference of about $1.5M USD, which seems like a drastic difference in cost, but YMMV, especially considering your relationship with Cardano.

LOL this happens whenever I talk about this issue with people here in Poland. Part of it is their family is here, it's hard to immigrate, deep down they know it is a problem. It was upsetting to tell my Polish wife that we need to move out of Poland and to scary USA but... she agreed with me and we're doing it. For us, the risk of death is far higher here with all the smoke. Even the California wildfires are relatively harmless in comparison, we get that every year in Poland and no one cares, at least in Calfornia everyone recognizes that it's a problem and people stay at home.

But here, wood burning(or even coal burning), is a part of the culture, giving warm fuzzy memories at granny's house burning horrid things in the furnace for others to enjoy.
