Interesting, I'm curious why this analogy was chosen, and not the other way around. Current as torque and voltage as (rotational) velocity would seem to allow the junctions to be much simpler -- just a gang of gears on a single axle, rather than the differential mechanism used here -- since torques (like current) add at an axle/junction, while rotational velocity (like voltage) transmits through an axle/junction.

Edit: I suppose a/the major reason is to get the resistance = friction analogy down. With current as torque, friction acts as conductance. E.g., a constant-torque/"current" motor would need to be held still (high friction) to prevent its speed/"voltage" from growing, whereas with the equivalent electrical circuit, you need to short the terminals (low resistance) of a current source to do the same.

I suppose the reason for this seeming discrepancy is that, in an electric circuit, wires are separated by high resistance. But in a physical circuit, "wires" are separated by low friction (= not touching). Flipping around the natural behavior of a junction allows you to take the dual of the entire circuit, thus causing the behavior of resistance and friction to line up.
Research suggests about 25-30% of people are willing to suffer a disadvantage if it will result in someone else suffering a great one. So this isn't an reliable as incentive as most economists imagine.

That struck me too – I don't think I've ever seen marketing for an AR headset where I came away thinking "that's probably what it really looks like" until this. Not only have they not exaggerated the FOV, they also haven't fudged their compositing to give the impression that the optics are somehow able to add shadows or otherwise obscure the background.

There's a false dichotomy, because everyone in the US is subsidising a super-caste of 0.1%ers.

They're the ones who pay PR companies, think tanks, and other influencers to create the illusion of consensus narratives by generating these talking points and making sure they're repeated by various apparently independent sources.

It makes it almost impossible to argue the merits of public subsidy funding on its own terms because the truth about costs and benefits is aggressively obscured.

do all employees truly feel the same way about every issue? do employees with a minority opinion feel comfortable expressing those views?
That's not true in my experience. I didn't stop directing cabbies to my destination until Uber and Lyft became commonplace and I never had to use a cab service again.

In the major urban areas I've lived, every cab drive would start with "take this street to that street" or "head towards major landmark."

Even in cities with decent grids you couldn't trust a cabbie to take the fastest route.

Conceptually, I love the idea of bittorrent distribution for binary packages like this. In practice, "oh no, my CI docker builds :(" Too much potential variability.

I just want a turnkey way to add multiple hosts/resolvers and use content-addressing. Like bittorrent but with passlists. Is that a thing?

Like, IPFS, but I want specific use-case domains. Like I'd be more than willing to stand up some sort of pip proxy for my company's domain but I'd only want it hosting packages used internally.
We have

abcabc = 1001 × abc = 7 × 11 × 13 × abc

so abcabc also is divisible by 11 and 13.

That also means that, to check divisibility of abcdef by 7, 11, or 13, compute |def-abc| and check whether that is divisible by 7, 11, or 13 since

abcdef = abcabc + (def - abc) = defdef + 1000 × (abc-def)

Similarly, since 10001 = 73 × 137, abcdabcd always is divisible by 73 and 137.
> In particular, nothing in the wording of the standard expliclty says that an implementation is expected to assume UB doesn't happen, or that a standard-conforming program can't have UB.

An implementation isn't expected to assume that UB doesn't occur, but it is allowed to assume that.

With regard to programs, the C standard has two different notions of conformance (cf. chapter 4 Conformance). There are strictly conforming programs, which may not rely on anything that would depend on the specifics of a particular C implementation, which of course includes UB. Strictly conforming programs are thus guaranteed to have the same behavior on all conforming C implementations. Then there is the larger class of conforming programs, which is defined as programs acceptable to a (particular) conforming C implementation.

Strictly conforming C programs are severly limited in what they can do. It has been argued that there are hardly any useful strictly conforming C progams.

Non-strictly conforming programs are conforming with respect to a specific C implementation. It is then the job of the C implementation to define what programs it accepts beyond strictly conforming ones, and how it handles (or doesn't handle) undefined behavior. Everything is possible here, from the infamous DeathStation 9000 (with the most insidious UB behavior) to a fully deterministic C implementation that processes any program in the most unsurprising developer-friendly fashion.

There is arguabley a misconception that C is a single language. It is effectively rather a family of languages, for which the C standard only defines a common denominator.
I just thought it brought an unnecessary and questionable dichotomy to the discussion. For example, I support gun rights and own many guns. My libertarian and conservative friends support drug decriminalization. The other poster brought up an "either-or, both-sides" framing into what seemed to otherwise be a productive discussion. There was no mention of "parties" or "sides". I have no idea what "side" anyone else belongs to, and I don't see why it matters.

In single-threaded programs, Java will neatly do what you expected, it lacks this excitement from C, when you try to dereference a null pointer, iterate past the end of an array or whatever in Java you'll just get some sort of Throwable...

But in concurrent programs things get exciting again. Java would like to be somewhat fast on actual hardware, and the actual hardware behaviour of memory is exciting, so, Java is also exciting, depending on how your hardware works.

You won't get C's full-blown "Undefined behaviour", but you can get some pretty astonishing outcomes, for example time travel can happen. If one thread changes A, then B, then C, it is permissible in Java that from the perspective of another concurrent thread the value A is unchanged, after B and/or C have changed.

It turns out humans are bad at coping with this even though it's much less scary than Undefined Behaviour, and so some more modern languages than Java offer ways to get memory behaviour that doesn't hurt your brain as much in exchange for reduced performance.
Floor Area Ratio regulations are pretty standard rules.

However, rules like these are "zoning/planning" and are usually set by the city or county, not the state.

The county shifting to Idaho is likely to have no effect on that regulation.

After many years of tea and coffee drinking, I've found that longjing green tea (dragonwell) purchased from a reputable source helps me focus longer without the experience of crashing from caffeine. Longjing has some caffeine but also a decent amount of theanine. I find my days more productive with a few cups of longjing than with coffee or black teas. Quality tea isn't cheap, but buying it in bulk remains cheaper than buying a cup of low quality stuff from the store every day. Give it a try!

So, you're basically admitting that HoN was just a reskinning of DOTA...

IOW, HoN was entirely unoriginal and players might as well have just stuck with the original DOTA. And people did...DOTA on a given day had more players than HoN during its entire run.

LoL may have simplified the mechanics of DOTA, but it did something new and fundamentally set the stage for e-sports as we know it. Complex mechanics in themselves aren't to be celebrated; a lot of what LoL did was to eliminate the pointlessly complex mechanics. Even the edit:[lead developer] of DOTA thought the mechanics had gotten too complex to be enjoyable for more than a very niche audience, which is why he streamlined a lot of them when given the opportunity to develop DOTA2 for Valve.
Yes, that's what I'm complaining about. Pagerank's idea of relevance is often not what I need.
The challenge studies they’re doing involve infecting people with measure doses of the virus. An infected person may or may not be shedding at that particular moment. Once they’ve established the MED to infect someone, they could potentially do a study with aerosols and masks, but even then, trying to simulate the right airflow and volume of viral particles is probably too difficult to be practical.
In case it helps anyone struggling:
Anecdatally, I stopped drinking alcohol more than a year ago because I was feeling worse and worse for a day or so after one can (I tended not to have more than that). I was also having trouble sleeping, wasn’t remembering dreams, and was more irritable than I liked. I think I have enough alcohol dehydrogenase, given my ancestry.
Anyway, I feel better on all counts, saved money, and no longer have the craving for a drink, unlike with chocolate (easy to manage if my spouse hides it) and coffee. I don’t need these luxuries and I feel better, more empowered, when I can choose to consume or not consume each day without compulsion.
I used exactly the same argument you did, with equivalent data. You're now trying to wiggle out of admitting equivalent conclusions.

That stinks of gross and explicit doublethink.
turns out people were the best "paperclip maximizers" all along
See e.g. OSACOMP rule for adjectives. Something most native speakers don't realize they know (but they do).
Controlling for confounders and demonstrating causality are different things though. They explicitly acknowledge that they don’t demonstrate causality as a study weakness.

People who drink alcohol may simply tend to have a slightly different brain structure.

In this regard it would be more interesting to see a large scale longitudinal study demonstrating an effect in the same individual over time.

Combined with population level studies and a demonstrated mechanism, I think that would be fairly definitive.

Ratifying the H-extension is a serious commitment not easily patched later. Putting something in the kernel is a commitment that's much easier to patch later. The linux RISC-V development policy that the extension must be frozen first is the part that seems excessive and unnecessary to me. Put it in now, and modify it later if the H-extension changes.

Putting pressure on RISC-V to freeze the H-extension early would be IMHO a bad outcome if it's not frozen for a good reason. If it's not frozen for no known good reason and it's just vendors gaming the system then of course freezing it is a good idea, but that's quite an independent thing from linux.

Older people are the larger subset of people that care less about their fashion, mostly because they have no support system that would bother or care either. When the benefit disappears so does their mental resources in keeping up.

> The effectiveness of masks, however, is still under debate

Effective for the mask wearer, or effective for others in the vicinity of the mask wearer?

It's well established that cheap cloth masks and procedure masks don't protect the mask wearer very much.

The rationale for cheap masks is that they drastically reduce the spread of particles from the wearer to everyone else nearby.

If your goal is to protect yourself, wear an N95 or better.

If your goal is to protect a population, and N95s aren't available, then the cheap mask help a lot when people wear them.

> What sort of logic supports that American values are those held by a minority of Americans. What possible values suggest they are the normal ones?

There are two conflicting meanings of the word 'American' that is causing your confusion. American can refer to an individual who is American. It can also refer to things associated with the government currently controlling the land known as the United States of America. The land of the USA has -- in its time -- been held by several government. Firstly there is the current one. Then there is the previous one, the confederated states of America. Some parts of the USA have at times been held by smaller governments, for example, the Southern confederacy (not to be confused with the USA under the articles of confederation).

Anyway, there are American values -- i.e., those held by individuals in America -- and then there are American values -- i.e., those in line with the constitution of the United States of America.

The Oregonians clearly are using the second meaning. They believe that the State of Oregon has failed to uphold values inherent to the Constitution of the United States of America. For example, if tomorrow, 98% of Oregonians decided Monarchy were the best form of government, in this usage, we can unequivocally say that that is not American, because monarchy is fundamentally at odds with the constitution. Thus, even if -- in my hypothetical -- monarchy were an American value in the individual sense, it would not be in the second usage.

As another unrelated example illustrating the difference in the usages, the majority of American Catholics believe contraceptives are okay. If you ask 'what is the opinion of the church on contraception', there are two correct answers. One can say 'Catholics believe contraception is okay' because most Catholics (in this country at least) agree. One can equally say 'Catholics believe contraception is not okay' because the institution of the Catholic church in this country has -- through official channels -- said it's not.

I like the way macOS handles this - .app package files are just folders that the OS treats as an icon; you can introspect if needed and the app can store its preferences etc inside the app container so it’s even portable (for user, not to deploy but mainly backup).

If the app needs access to folders it asks for it (even ~/downloads) otherwise it has nothing by default.

To elaborate, I saw these people inside a supermarket, where it's probably in their own interest to wear it properly. And no they weren't glasses wearers.

But yes governments just repeating unscientific rules also annoy me, I agree in the empty outdoors masks are most probably unnecessary. (This statement is hedged because hey, I'm not an epidemiologist). They emphasize the "6ft apart" stuff but not the ventilation of indoor places...

And they say outdoor dining is okay, so restaurants put up tents which are poorly ventilated, and hey, the fucking things are outside, that follows the rules, so that means they're safe, right?

I should just join Wonko the Sane outside the asylum...
What "systemic effects" do you mean?
In principle, sure, but here, it's just grotesque.

They admit RCTs show masks don't matter, so they put together a few differential equations (which most certainly could be chosen differently to support something else entirely) such that in some domains (virus-limited) masks help a lot, in some (virus-rich) not.

Then they implicitly assume that RCTs didn't show anything because they were done in virus-rich environments and somehow conclude from this dubious claim that "Face masks effectively limit the probability of SARS-CoV-2 transmission".

Am I not reading it correctly?

This is complicated because Scots (distinct from Gaelic) is a language - with multiple dialects (you wouldn't speak Doric in Glasgow) - and people from Scotland freely intermix with English. If you've grown up there as an English speaker you may not even realized it until you move somewhere it isn't spoken, so lots of loan words etc. you are used to don't exist.
How does conda handle this problem? To me as an end user conda installation for things that use the GPU seems to work a lot better, and the only real downside is that it combines awkwardly with packages that are installed using pip.
the government pays farmers (subsidizes) based on a lot of planning. this is done because special aspects about food (go read an economics 101 book - inelastic demand, prefect competition). in short, its meant to stabilize the system such that we don't all starve next year due to surpluses this year. its not because we can just get it cheaper from other countries (sometimes that may be true, but not true on a macro scale).

if the US stopped growing food, hundreds of millions of people would die just from the famine. many governments would be toppled, probably even a few first world countries.

But if you read this having planned to write a hypervisor yourself, don't be discouraged: IIRC a lot of that complexity and corner cases aren't that important if you don't focus too much on performance at first (which is easily done for getting something to work, and addressable later), or just not implement some features at all (which gets you far enough).
