I think we’re going out into the weeds. I’m not looking for explanations or excuses. I can’t dance because I never cared to learn, not because I’m physically unable to do it. I have played sports and done other activities that require coordination. I got top score on my verbal/written SAT so orthography isn’t a problem for me either. The mistake would be saying to myself “I have Asperger’s so I can’t dance or write,” which would just be making excuses.

I don’t think willpower is uncommon, that’s not my experience. I don’t know what war has to do with it — consider the willpower required to participate in that kind of conflict, or survive it. What evidence do you have that “autistic people don’t change” and “neurotypical people don’t innovate?”

To pump up the meme that people diagnosed with autism or Asperger’s are geniuses stuck in a shell it’s become popular to retroactively diagnose historical figures. Da Vinci? Autistic. Lincoln? Aspeger’s. Elon Musk — clearly a successful and high-functioning person, may have some Asperger’s symptoms, or he may just say that because it’s cool and lets him off the hook for acting like a jerk sometimes. I don’t know. I don’t think every “innovator” is an undiagnosed autistic. It seems obvious that most innovation must come from neurotypicals because they are, by definition (in the frame of this discussion anyway) the large majority.

Autistic people do change. Children often grow out of autistic behavior at least partially. Not always, some never improve, but many do.

There’s no line between autistic/Asperger’s and neurotypical, those are phony boxes that insufficiently describe a literal spectrum of behaviors and personality gifts and deficits. At the extremes of the spectrum you find people who are seriously impaired, but along most of the curve people function well enough.

Think about physical abilities. Most people can walk and get around and do day-to-day things. Some can play basketball a few can play like Michael Jordan. Some struggle to stand up, a few can’t get out of bed. There’s a range of physical abilities and everyone is born with some gifts and some deficits. I think it’s the same with mental abilities and personality.

2D art or 3D art? If the former, it looks like some of that is from existing art (e.g., "Bear Rider" is clearly from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogatyr#/media/File:Viktor_Vas...).

The latter is made by the developer, but I wouldn't call those assets "pro quality". This isn't to diminish the astonishing amount of effort that went into the project though!

>Pat Coulson, an NSA spokeswoman, confirmed the 1986 security breach of Dockmaster, which she said was discovered six days after the "first known misuse" of a password and compromised information used by an unnamed corporation.

Cliff Stoll wrote about Dockmaster in The Cuckoo's Egg:

Dockmaster."

quizzically. Greg said, "How do you know he hit Dockmaster?"

Here's some discussion about Dockmaster, which was on MILNET IMP 57, and the rumored "explosive bolts" on the ARPA/MILNET gateways:

https://inbox.vuxu.org/tuhs/0906195E-E904-4D29-8F59-DEFC63B3...

DCA must have the ability to partition the ARPANET and MILNET in
case of an "emergency", and having non-DCA controlled paths between
the nets prevents that. There was talk some time ago about putting
explosive bolts in the mailbridges that would be triggered by
destruct packets... That idea didn't get far though...

Reality is that most learn to cope with life a lot better as they grow older.

My life objectively sucks more now. I have way less free time, and am under harsher constraints. But I am saddled with way less depression and anxiety. I am enjoying life more than ever. I don't go to sleep crying or ruminating every night anymore.

People saying "well your life sucks but it's only going to get worse" are inadvertently being mean and unhelpful. I can imagine probably offing myself, had I heard that advice at the wrong moment growing up.

It didn't get worse. It got better, even though the circumstances got worse, because my ability to handle them got much better.

They have already been using that for spreadsheets where you can't copy things. You may think... "I'm a 1337 developer, I will use Developer Tools" and select elements and run JS. But it's canvas rendering, so nope.
I think so and it probably will require some skills to fully utilize it where kids in the future will start learning to use it from the early age.

I image this is how I probably will become 'obsolete' in regards of technology just like my parent can't catch up with todays technology.
Weird. I've never heard an adult tell a high schooler that it's the best time in their life. Usually people tell them it doesn't really matter (which also doesn't really help).

New Technique Predicts Response of Brain Tumors to Chemoradiation – UT News
Texas is what I would still consider a "nationwide" power grid. I was thinking of something very very decentralized, like individual neighborhoods. It wouldn't completely solve what happened in Texas, but blackouts would be contained to small areas for hopefully shorter amounts of time, as failure in one area would have no effect on other areas, and individual neighborhoods could probably coordinate and conserve power usage as needed better than an entire state.

This is great news.

If you've tried using Google Docs extensively for layout-heavy things, you've probably noticed a bunch of subtle things break a little bit, for example as pixel rounding errors accumulate down a page. This can be especially evident when using things like lots of table cells, borders, and zoom levels different from 100%. The blinking cursor can sometimes be almost a full line misaligned from the text being edited.

Also if you've tried using Docs across different platforms and browsers, there can be subtle differences in line heights, word-wrapping, and so on. Which might not seem like a big deal, until you try to write your term paper to be no more than 25 pages long, and then when you go to a shared computer to print it, it's now 26 pages because a bunch of lines are now wrapping that weren't before, and your professor won't accept it!

If canvas means Google now has total control over precise element and letter positioning and wrapping, this will be a BIG step forwards in truly being a consistent, cross-platform, WYSIWYG word processor, as opposed to the way it's often been "usually mostly right but not always exactly".

Websites are supposed to be responsive and flexible and not depend on exact font rendering. But word processors really do need reliable control over layout when producing serious documents like papers, resumes, etc.

The deal did not go through. Plaid just got valued at close to triple what Visa was going to spend on it in a recent fund raise at around $14B post money.
The conversion factor is very close to the golden number, so if you just remember the Fibonacci sequence up to around 89 you'll be able to do mental conversions easily enough.

E.g., what's 65mph in kmh? Well, the nearest Fibonacci number to 65 is 55, so 65 == 55 + 10, and the next Fibonacci number to 55 is 89, so 65mph will be 89kmh + ??, now we turn to 10mph and notice it's 8 + 2, so it's really 13kmh + 3kmh, which brings us to 65mph ~= 89kmh + 13kmh + 3kmh = 105kmh. My calculator says the actual conversion of 65mph to kmh is 104.60736, so... that's really close!

This is a very fun little mental exercise to do. Obviously it works in both directions.

Let's apply it to 340mi. The bracketing Fb numbers are 233 and 377. 377 - 340 == 33. Next after 377 is 610, so 377mi ~= 610km. Next after 33 is 55, so 340mi = 377mi - 33mi ~= 610km - 55km = 555km. My calculator says it's 547.17696km. Close!!

Most of these inputs are very limited though. For example, range only allows one handle, so it doesn't work in most instances. For example, you might want a slider for a range of prices ($10-20), sizes (TVs that are 32-40"), or dates (products released between 2010-2013). It doesn't work in these situations, which is disappointing because they seem like the most basic use cases.

I think there's a balance. You want a slight surplus in your local area and connected so you can pump it somewhere else when that somewhere else goes down.

Can someone comment on the benefits these changes have? Is it faster, more memory efficient, etc.? The change log has a lot of the technical minutiae of how I would need to change the way I use some things, but not the why.
Yeah, as per the other person's reply, it's probably more accurate to estimate that 1 in 100 people will have anecdotes of someone catching COVID twice, based on the measured reinfection rate. If we knew the number of distinct people reading this, we could estimate how many people we could get anecdotes from, but I would be unsurprised if 10 or more people could chime in.

There might be other factors that would push the reinfection rate higher (eg, if people are less likely to get another COVID test after having had it once, because they assume that's the one thing it can't be), and it's also worth remembering that a 1-in-1000 reinfection rate combined with ~10% of the population catching it means that closer to 1-in-100 people don't develop a lasting immunity [and the other 9-in-1000 just didn't catch it a second time].

If Bitcoin were used by everybody on the planet, the current max of 10 transactions/second means that each person could be part of a transaction once every 13 years (4 billion pairs of people / 10 Hz). Boosting the rate up to 100 transactions per second reduces that down to 15 months. Just think, receive you paycheck this week, and over a year later you can use it to buy groceries.

Bitcoin's throughout is absolutely pathetic, by several orders of magnitude. I think the only reason that aspect hasn't gotten more attention is because the energy efficiency is even worse.
Why Python though (and not lua or something)? It is rather annoying to use as embedded language.
"Eschew flamebait. Avoid unrelated controversies and generic tangents."

Please don't single out gratuitous provocations in an article and then copy them into the thread to complain about them. It doesn't lead to interesting discussion.

Sometimes I make fettucini with fresh sauce from the same tomatoes (blanch for 20s in the pasta water and peel, microwave for 5 min with chopped bell pepper, salt, pepper, olive oil; sauté noodles with the sauce for 2) and parmesan, in 20. How can they compete?

With a corresponding drop of velocity (V) off a cliff:

* https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M2V

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_supply#Link_with_inflati...

Milton Friedman and Monetarists were wrong: velocity is not constant, and it does affect inflation.

> Indeed, from 1982 to 1985, Friedman repeat- edly predicted a major revival of inflation that never occurred. In 1982 he predicted 8 percent inflation for 1983; the outcome was around 4 percent (FORT, 03/19/84). In July 1983, Friedman wrote, “We shall be fortunate indeed if we escape either a return to double-digit inflation or renewed recession in 1984” (NW, 07/25/83). In August 1983, he said, “U.S. inflation rates will rise appreciably in 1984, although it’s not yet determined where they’ll go from there” (TSN, 08/30/83). In April 1984, Friedman said, “I believe [the CPI] will be rising in the neighborhood of 8 to 10 percent in 1985.”33 Even in November 1985, Friedman said that “Inflation is not dead. It will emerge once again and will be higher next year than it is this year. We almost surely are currently at the bottom of this inflationary episode and are likely to be starting up again” (NYDN, 11/13/85). Defying these predictions, inflation was consistently below 5 percent in every month from 1983 to 1986; moreover, apart from a brief uptick in early 1984, inflation continued to decline after 1982, and was lower in 1986 than it was in 1985.

That list is really interesting, surprising even...

Cooks at #1, then factory work, agriculture, then bakers at #4, construction, procutions, sewing, shipping, grounds, customer service, then again "chefs and head cooks" at #12 and at 13 is "Computer occupations, all other" which surprised me and then second to last, bartenders. So food service is well represented.

Where are the waiters/waitress/servers on that list? I'd expect them to be at higher risk than cooks, since they're out there walking around.

The problem here is that (aside from the usual "FAANG or nothing" sentiment): you assume everyone can get a FAANG job to begin with. Apple never called back after my campus interview, I didn't make it past Google's automated programming test. I had no link to Microsoft so I just have a online resume in the virtual void.

That first job hustle is painful. I definitely wouldn't be where I was today if I didn't spend a few years at a local studio, if only because it gave relevant work experience to what I wanted to do. Even if it was paying me half my current salary it was well worth the experience.
