I think the musical styles and their in the flesh club/rave scenes are getting conflated a bit. Music is often born in a specific location and scene and then grows into it's own monster. Especially now with the internet, music is for everyone. But locally speaking there are different groups listening and producing styles of music you may not even know about yet, that will enter the global lexicon of music and get much the same treatment of commercialization as house and others got.
From the RCS curves I find, it's 20-25dB for both planes in augmentation in the rear aspect. Enough for the F22 to simply not be stealthy from the rear.

As for the F35 supercruise, this is simply wrong. The engine overheats without the afterburner at supersonic speeds and thus supercruise cannot be done for more than a few seconds. Afterburners must be used, but the afterburners in turn damage the RAM.

The RAM in the F35 is not actually destroyed by air friction. It's destroyed by the afterburners : https://www.defenseworld.net/news/26992/Swiss_Internal_Repor...

From this one concluded that the F35 cannot sustain Mach 1.2 without using afterburners.

This is actually even worse than not being able to supercruise - it cannot sustain supersonic flight, full stop.
The galactic rotation curves isn't the only reason for requiring dark matter. And gravitomagnetism is a known effect. I don't think for decades being studied everyone was doing it wrong.
> The way to parse WSL is that it's a <Windows (NT) Subsystem> for Linux.

For me that still parses wrong on first try. I mean I can make sense of it, because I already know how it is meant, however for me the most obvious assumption is, that it is for the given host and that host is Windows, not Linux. So Linux (compatibility) subsystem for Windows would make more sense to me.
My first year teaching math (12th grade, "standard" level (below "intensive" and "honors")), I had a student that could solve "equations with fractions for x" but she was struggling with a word problem. I knew she could do the math, but I was struggling to understand where she was losing it.

The word problem was basically the same as in the video. If you're moving 20 miles/hour how long will it take to go 40 miles. (honestly, this was 20 years ago ... the problem probably said "20 MPH" ... it wasn't a very good textbook)

I read the problem to her, similarly to how the guy in the video was trying to explain. "If you are going 20 miles... per hour..."

She was in drivers ed at the time, so I tried talking about her speedometer and "MPH and how that stands for Miles Per Hour"...

Eventually I wrote it down for her as a fraction "20 miles / 1 hour" and not only did she figure it out but she also said "Oh my god, that's what MPH means? I thought that was just a number I had to match with the speed limit signs!"

One of the toughest parts of teaching is figuring out where you need to start (for each student). The thing that gets a student stuck might not even be related to the material... they may have an incorrect preconceived notion that you're not aware of so they think they know what MPH is, but it's actually something completely different, so you are not effectively communicating with each other because all the words you are using have different meanings.
I can think of several explanations. The least likely is that for some reason your IP (or one of the IPs) is misattributed to another country by their geolocation mapping system. Another is that some of your property have been used by an Arab (you bough a second-hand device, lost a phone etc). More probably ones: one of your devices might have been infected or you might have clicked an ad that was disguised by something else but was linked to products/services offered in Arabic.
> Are you insinuating Bitcoin’s fixed supply nature and long standing track record of security wouldn’t give you all the protection you’d ever need against inflation or asset seizure?

Bitcoin does protect against inflation but it's ineffective against government controls because it's not fungible. The government doesn't need to literally seize the coins, it can just blacklist them. This prevents spending and makes them useless.

> Or were you merely making mention of a “coin” in your investment portfolio sans any financial disclosure statement, as is so (insufferably) common?

I mentioned Monero because I thought it was the most relevant coin. I was talking about bank account seizures and freezes, something that actually happened to everyone in my country in the 90s. A huge reason why my family enjoys some degree of prosperity today is we saw it coming and withdrew everything in cash. I believe that as a proven privacy coin Monero is the coin most effective at avoiding that sort of government stupidity.

People who live on the coasts really don’t understand how much of the Millennial existential angst is due to inability to buy a house and live a typical life. My wife went to the University of Iowa, and her friends who stayed in state all bought houses years ago. (We’re in our mid-30s.) Meanwhile few of our friends from law school (many of whom are by now moving up the ranks in their profession, are still trying to get settled.

We short-circuited the process, accepting a long commute and moving out to the suburbs of a satellite city near DC (Annapolis). Bought a house for less than 1/3 of what my colleagues are spending. Could make my mortgage payment if my wife quits her job, I change jobs, etc. We live around couples with young kids, just like us, with normal middle class jobs. It’s amazing.

But thanks to the Fed printing money property values in the area are shooting up. The house next door, which is a bit smaller than hours, recently sold for double what we paid in 2016. I’m worried it’s going to destroy the neighborhood so only upper middle class people can live here. This must stop.

Has there been any updates from the astrophysics community about this “gravitational magnetism” explanation[1]? GR/cosmology is not my area of expertise, but if astrophysicists were indeed neglecting the impact of rotating masses on gravitation that seems like a major oversight that needs to be investigated.

[1] A static charge generates an electric field and a moving charge generates a magnetic field. There is a similar effect for gravity: the Einstein equations have a sort of symmetry to the Maxwell equations.

I am sympathetic to the recently-advocated view that the effects of dark matter are really “gravitational magnetism” associated with rotating large masses[1].

That said: dark matter is no more a “hack” than the discovery of Neptune or Alpha Centauri C: the existence of both were inferred from deviations from theoretically expected gravitational motion, and only later confirmed by direct observation. If Neptune did not exist it might have implied Newton’s equations of gravity were wrong - but it’s existence and correctly-predicted mass were instead a major validation of those laws. So I think the dark matter hypothesis and the subsequent research activity are fully justified areas of scientific inquiry.

In Palestine, it is always a two-sided thing.

Al Jazeera is an anti-non-Muslim news media which shares everything happening against Muslims, and when the Muslims are the perpetrators, they are silent.

And even when non-Muslims strike back on something started by the other side, they run to cover that.

In some places innocent Muslims are persecuted and the party at fault should be exposed by media. And "stricking back" is not civilized and I do not condone it. Even after all these, I honestly believe that Al Jazeera seriously lacks honesty and transparency.
MMT boils down to "keeping people unemployed or underemployed against their own will is unethical". Therefore you create money to employ unemployed or underemployed people.

The trick is that yes, you are printing money, but you are also "printing" goods and services provided by people who would otherwise stay unemployed or underemployed.

Are there any good reasons for keeping people unemployed or underemployed? I can't think of any. People who don't want to work or can't aren't considered unemployed. Who exactly is losing out? That fast food restaurant that is underpaying people? Rich people whose relative wealth vs the poor is growing?

So why didn't the black grasroots ever sprout an analogous new rock scene, instead of turning towards the mainstream, big stage, light show, for-profit music that comes from black artists for the last few decades?

I think this claim speaks more to your perception of music that isn't "rock" (there is no greater association with stadium-filling and dull commercialism than that label for some of us) than it does about what young creative people (of whichever colour) should be making.
NetBSD: Using Virtualization: QEMU and NVMM
I think it is deeper then that. Web development has a pretty clear distinction between front and back end, where the values and design goals of each is vastly different. SICP would it self teach you valuable lessons for the back end while only be marginally beneficial to a subset of front-end programming. In fact, in my experience (and this might be a hot take), the front end suffers from back end programmers taking their lessons to the front end where they don’t apply, and may even be considered harmful [fn-1]. This might in fact be the core reason for your stated “not-well-thought-out libraries/patterns” on the front end.

As a front end developer my self I’d argue that the front end has a core by it self which is independent—and sometimes even incompatible—with the core of programming. On the front end your user is such an unknown while still being your most important target. General programming doesn’t have this, where your user is most often just you at a later time, and maintainability is often the most important goal.

Then there is the living standards a front end developer must design around. A general programmer has a definite compiler (or an interpreter) they can write for. A front end developer should be aware which technology they can use given their audience’s clients. A front end stack that targets an audience with modern clients will be structured a lot differently then for audience that might have legacy clients. If you suspect your audience might use legacy clients, you have to accommodate that by adding different tools and techniques to your code base. I don’t think SICP—and other literature for generic programming—provides any insight into this. (and why should they?)

---

fn-1: I’m not gonna go as far as stating that SCIP considered harmful for front end developers. I don’t think that is true.
FWIW there is a <sys/endian.h> on various BSDs that contains "beXXtoh", "leXXtoh", "htobeXX", "htoleXX" where XX is a number of bits (16, 32, 64).

That header is also available on Linux, but glibc (and compatible libraries) named it <endian.h> instead.

See: man 3 endian (https://linux.die.net/man/3/endian)

Of course it gets a bit hairier if the code is also supposed to run on other systems.

MacOS has OSSwapHostToLittleIntXX, OSSwapLittleToHostIntXX, OSSwapHostToBigIntXX and OSSwapBigToHostIntXX in <libkern/OSByteOrder.h>.

I'm not sure if Windows has something similar, or if it even supports running on big endian machines (if you know, please tell).

My solution for achieving some portability currently entails cobbling together a "compat.h" header that defines macros for the MacOS functions and including the right headers. Something like this:

https://github.com/AgentD/squashfs-tools-ng/blob/master/incl...

This is usually my go-to-solution for working with low level on-disk or on-the-wire binary data structures that demand a specific endianness. In C I use "load/store" style functions that memcpy the data from a buffer into a struct instance and do the endian swapping (or reverse for the store). The copying is also necessary because the struct in the buffer may not have proper alignment.

Technically, the giant macro of doom in the article takes care of all of this as well. But unlike the article, I would very much not recommend hacking up your own stuff if there are systems libraries readily available that take care of doing the same thing in an efficient manner.

In C++ code, all of this can of course be neatly stowed away in a special class with overloaded operators that transparently takes care of everything and "decays" into a single integer and exactly the above code after compilation, but is IMO somewhat cleaner to read and adds much needed type safety.
Haha I guessed racism. Man I'm like 10/10 at guessing the proposed american narratives lately.
I would say, yes.

There are heated discussions about tests but in my opinion tests are crucial for maintainability of code in an automated fashion. Can you do without them, probably yes if the repo is small enough and most devs know most of what's going on. Once it grows large enough that most devs can't keep it all in their heads, tests help a lot. Not a panacea, but definitely help guard against unintended mistakes due to lack of understanding.

With that preamble, changing code to be more testable is great so long as it doesn't involve adding code just for tests like "if (debug) {".
I for one would go for big-endian, simply because reading memory dumps and byte blocks in assembly or elsewhere works without mental byte-swapping arithmetics for multi-byte entities.

Just out of curiosity, I would be interested in learning why so many CPUs today are little-endian. Is it because it is cheaper / more efficient for processor implementations or is it because “the others do it, so we do it the same way”?
This is an issue separate from “X owning your private keys”, but I agree it’s a problem.

Either way, secure messaging requires care from both sides; even if you both use Signal your counterpart can, say, let some spyware screenshot her jailbroken Android, and then it’s all for nothing. The only way of avoiding that is probably handling communication on a dedicated device, or a thoroughly locked down software ecosystem.

Anecdotally, a couple years ago I lost the entirety of my WhatsApp conversations and contacts after changing phone: I missed the opportunity to enter a code at some point and it got wiped without any way to recover it. I don’t know if that was an indication of backup encryption, but it sure felt like security trumping convenience.

I meant to comment there but never got round to it: we have now found galaxies apparently without dark matter. They behave exactly as you’d expect from direct measurements.

So either somehow that explanation doesn’t apply there (but why?) or dark matter is real, and just somehow absent from some galaxies.
