At work yes, personally, some. WhatsApp/iMessage/Signal largely supplant the need for me as most of my circle doesn't engage in longform communication with each other anymore, even family. Text messages and audio/video/picture messaging allow us to communicate more rapidly and engage in a dialogue, but also produce longer content (postcard or personal
note length, not letter length) without it feeling like too much over the chat service.

Email is still used among some of us on collaborative projects, but if it's not a project, it's not over email. Even then, with online document editors (Google Sheets and Docs, for instance, or GitHub and kin for code), there's little need for email anymore for that except for certain coordination and longer form communication of ideas among the groups that doesn't quite fit into an existing document yet.

Google Wave could've been a good tool for that, but naturally Google fucked it up so email survived for this use-case for us.

Benzene is used as a precursor for many solvents (in addition to being one itself). IIRC, many things are washed with benzene derivatives and that's where a lot of contamination concern is.

> but it’s not "paid for the domain", it is "managed to get the domain transferred to them

It was said, I believe, by multiple of the people who quit to create their new network that the domains were sold to Lee by someone who was given leadership of the group. This means they domains were paid for. I'm sure they wouldn't mind the few dollars for renewal but a domain like freenode probably got sold for a few thousand.

> There is also something called "being decent". For a network that is (was) essentially a chat network for tons of FOSS projects, taking over the channels because people wanted to have a smooth transition from one network to another is not decent.

I think it's not decent to expect that a group that has been bad mouthed repeatedly support the smooth transition for the new network. That honestly, the only part I have trouble with. I think there is a bunch of entitlement but if it wasn't for everyone being pissy that Freenode isn't just rolling over is just disgusting in my opinion. Reminds me of bullies at school who would say and do whatever they want to you but when you hit back you're the villian.

> This is a shitshow, especially for this kind of infrastructure.

To be fair, it's been a shit show from the start. Seriously, how many I quit letters were flooded on to this paltform and others like it? The one announcement was all that was needed.
Very aware. I get that periodically with glycinate.

l-threonate is much lower dose of elemental magnesium, usually 144mg, but it's much more targeted.
I'm highly suspicious of this paper. The ideas aren't really presented very clearly, so it's really hard to understand what the "trick" is.

If you believe QM is true then you flat out cannot have a local hidden variable theory. One possible way to "salvage" Bell's inequality with a local hidden variable theory is to effectively cheat by tying the chance of detecting a particle to the detector parameter (like the angle of the polarizer) and then throwing out some detections (detector A found a particle but detector B didn't fire, say). This effectively inflates the numerator in the probability in favor of the correlation while deflating the denominator, effectively discarding uncorrelated pairs. From what I understand, physicists are well aware of this problem and a significant portion of the entanglement experiments are devoted to justify how they're overcoming this loophole though I'm in absolutely no position to understand or judge if they're doing it well.

Maybe this is what the paper is talking about when considering a "contextual model"? If so, they don't present it in a clear or digestible way, which makes me suspicious that they're using terminology to hide something.

I actually was surprised to see the state of the LSP docs in general. Maybe I was missing it, but all the docs I could find only had C# examples of the various objects. I was surprised I couldn't find an exhaustive list of the JSON documents and JSON-RPC endpoints which make up the standard.
Sure, you can make a hotkey to launch any editor, but not every editor is as "pathologically configurable" as vim. The combination of vim being terminal-based, highly-configurable, and lightweight makes it nice to use in a variety of contexts.
Gasoline has around 2% Benzene in it, by the way. That’s 20,000ppm vs 6ppm for the worst offenders here. Crazy we let teenagers pump this stuff and then the rest of us just breathe in the fumes.

> Is it even clear that climate change is the biggest risk to address now?

Did you know: more than one thing can happen in the world at once!

Fighting climate change doesn't prevent us spotting or stopping asteroids, or supervolcanoes, or whatever. Where in the world did you get such zero-sum nonsense from?

The satellites we use to monitor CO2 levels in the atmosphere are great at spotting volcanic activity.

Building those satellites and getting them into orbit hasn't 'depleted our allocated space launches'; it's made us better at getting to space; which makes us more prepared for sending asteroid intercept/divert missions.

This is false. Communities get sold successfully all the time (thing of tech giants buying up unicorns or whatever). But doing that with a (predominantly) FOSS community was definitely doomed from the start.

Yep, Netflix and Amazon Prime are a given for us (Netflix a bit less so lately, actually considering taking a break from it for the first time in years), and then we'll add Disney+/Hulu or HBO Now for a month or two a couple times a year.

By the way, has anyone checked out the free movies on Youtube? There's some good 80s and 90s classics on there lately. Supposedly it's with ads, but I don't see too many when I watch, certainly less than Hulu.

> When you say that all cultures are equal is a lie, do you mean that there are cultures that are better than others? Maybe you mean that there are certain aspects of some cultures that are worth abandoning and some others worth preserving.

Yes, I mean both. There are some cultures with a strong aspect of physical violence that is almost a defining factor (for the members of these groups). Taken together, these aspects sometimes far outweigh the positive ones.

> Do you think there is nothing left to improve in Western culture?

There is a lot to learn from. A bigger concern is that Western culture and related values are extremely invasive and try to dominate all other cultures so there is less and less of originality left with everything getting westernized. But we must not be afraid of criticizing these aspects of any culture that involve violence against others (this could be anyone - outsiders, other tribes, family members of given gender etc.).

Windows 10 is going to become a better option for Linux development than MacOSX : before, it was already good with WSL1 and 2, and the lighter options like msys2.

With that, all I need is a better filesystem to move disks with unix permissions.

I predict BRTFS or another "modern" filesystem like XFS will soon be supported out-of-the-box.

> The proper response would be to rejoice that they finally got what they wanted and lobby for the same judgement for their competitors, then get on with it and finally reduce their emissions.

Because they didn't get what they want.

Imagine you make widgets and you pay your employees $5/hr. You want to pay your employees $10/hr but you can't because your widgets would then be too expensive, you'd be driven out of business and your employees would have to get jobs elsewhere for $5/hr. But if a the government enforced a $10/hr minimum wage then you can pay your employees $10/hr, you don't go out of business, and your employees can keep their jobs.

It's a collective action problem and the government is uniquely good at solving them while businesses are uniquely bad.

Sure, but skin cancer caused by the very stuff that's supposed to help prevent it? A little too ironic, I really do think.
Yes, other companies should be held liable as well... I think that the situation is analogous to sueing asbestos manufacturers or cigarette companies.

Was it ok, from a legal or societal perspective, for these manufacturers to mount a disinformation program, in favor of their products, while knowingly causing direct harm to their customers? How does the fact that other companies will (potentially) step in and do the same thing change the situation?
You're not wrong, but to me it's still positive funding. It's not perfect, but it is far from the worst stimulus / funding the government does. And it probably wouldn't have happened without the lobbying, so it's not like this is taking money from other projects, at least in terms of government accounting and finance.
That's not even close to wholesale truth at any meaningful or useful level. To a very specific subset of loud people the idea that biology may play some role in expressed traits is problematic only because those traits have been deemed by some other portion of society to be a proxy for either the capacity or quality of some human or possibly also because the notion violates some axiomatic belief that heredity can't possibly play any role in any difference you can measure when there also exists a "racial" or "gender" associated partitioning of the data set.

The problem is not that studies and results themselves are racist (data can't be racist). The problem is that parts of society (across the board) want to find racism in the data and draw problematic conclusions, even when the practitioners who just want to explore the data avoid any such narrative conclusion, so they will. They'll even brand the practitioners as racist for engaging in the pursuit of a scientific understanding of the world and generating the data in the first place.

Rather than throw out an entire field of study that's relevant and important in medicine, psychology, biology, real sociology, education, politics, etc. a much more honest/level approach would be to attack the meta-level discussion around how we apply the results even when they might be problematic instead of branding anybody who references the data a racist. For example, if studies show that IQ can be associated at least at some level with gene expression (the reality is it's a complex mix of both biological lottery and social nurturing) then perhaps question the validity of applying IQ tests as gating functions in areas where they may be miss applied. Question whether the traits that IQ tests end up fuzzily measuring are in fact necessary, important, relevant, whatever. Perform your own studies to shed more light on the topic and evolve our understanding. And if the answer is still, "there seems to be a measurable, relevant, practical genetic difference" the fix your fucked up society (if that requires active political patches, so be it) and figure out how to incorporate the reality into your narrative, don't brand the data and anybody adjacent to it as deplorable.

The idea that you can dismiss an entire field of rational study because it yields uncomfortable data or even just asks uncomfortable questions is immensely reductive and frankly harmful to a healthy society. Traditional religious institutions learned how to incorporate science but not before bloody fights and unhealthy/illiberal attempts to brand and silence practitioners, heretics. Regardless, the cults lost and rationalism prevailed. Historical context is dynamic, not static, and attempts to apply anecdotal interpretations based on a first order derivative of the current context really miss a lot of the picture.

My step-father often still emails photos but otherwise for most family communication we use Signal (both one to one and we have a few family groups for various things).

For friends it is a mix between Signal and WhatsApp.

For online comms and colab it is about 80% Discord and 20% Slack. Used to be IRC and Usenet but that stopped a few years ago for me.

For me it's been a matter of practice, and forcing myself to use macros for things even when I was too slow with them to justify it in the moment. It pays off eventually and you can get a nice facility with it.

I also like using

:g/^/norm $normal_commands

to apply anonymous macros across all lines. It works with visual selections too:

:'<,'>g/^/norm $normal_commands

And naturally you can replace the ^ with any regex to selectively apply the macro to only lines that match!
Of course you can construct all kinds of interesting distributions with any random piece of data. This doesn't mean that it makes any sense to do so.

Pretending that human reasoning is somehow equivalent to Bayesian inference (and abusing domain-specific terminology like "prior") is exactly the kind of cargo culting that Feynman wrote about. If there is no actual mathematical model and software implementation, you are not doing Bayesian inference (and the airplanes will just not land).
That had some weird interactions with some of the other scripts I was running. There were some known incompatibilities that were still being worked on - and now it's being rewritten in rust?
In any case, I wasn't having a great time with the python version of it.

So went with a more native TUI application (gomuks) and didn't really enjoy that either (scrolling broken, weird mouse behavior, unread messages got stuck on some channels and in other rooms it didn't show any unread messages at all, stuck room that I already left and some other issues that annoyed me).

Then I thought I give some desktop applications a go (quaternion, spectral, nheko, mirage and last I tried was neochat) and they fell into roughly two categories: ok-ish UX but too buggy to be usable or work but have UI designed for mobile but on desktop (which is a no-go for me).

That's where I am with my quest for a decent matrix client.
I haven't tried _all_ desktop clients yet, but there are not that many non-electron/browser based ones left I think.

Neutrogena is owned by Johnson and Johnson - which just payed out on a case relating to cancer from baby-powders [1]. Combined with Neutrogena being more or less _very high_ in benezine content and J&J having a very deep suite of cancer treatment drugs [2]... This seems like a horrific story of a self-fulfilling product pipeline. I know they're a giant organization and suggesting conspiracy is a bit insane but I can't help but think I'll be avoiding J&J and all their subsidiary brands actively from here on out. At very least, their quality control for one of the biggest manufacturers on earth is awful.

Sure but it’s all about quantifying that accurately so that it can be compared to for example better building ventilation. If, hypothetically, better ventilation had 100x the effect of mask wearing, then focusing attention on masks would be counter productive no? Make no mistake I’m pro mask but mostly for psychological, ethical and economic reasons. I feel their benefits in terms of personal protection are vastly overstated, often in bad faith by those with a desire to impact other people’s behavior albeit with the best of intentions.

In a University of Washington longitudinal study, 32.7% of participants had persistent long-term side effects, and around 9% had moderate to severe long-term side effects.

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle...

Really don't know why some people are so determined to deny that COVID is a serious disease with a decent incidence rate of serious side effects. 10% of the population getting moderate to serious side effects from a single source within a year is a lot, and it sucks if you're that 10%! And another 20% get minor side effects on top of that. And it isn't just "the old" or anything like that, those side effects cut across the whole population, young and old.

I guess it's just the next iteration of the old "it's no worse than the flu" denialism. But a single bout of the flu doesn't leave 10% of the population with serious long-term side effects.

It's already possible. I have a 2019 Intel MacBook with AMD graphics. It connects to a CalDigit T3 Plus dock via one USB C thunderbolt cable. The dock connects to two 1440p 144hz monitors, a keyboard, speakers, webcam, USB microphone, and Ethernet. The dock powers the laptop over the thunderbolt cable.

I also have an Intel desktop computer with a thunderbolt port. I'm able to switch from my desktop to my laptop with just one cable.

It still has a few rough edges, but overall it works better than anything else I've tried.

I'm a big fan of the enlightenment principle that human beings are responsible for the things which they can control. As opposed to the belief that we are all extensions of our collective tribe, and are therefore collectively responsible for our tribe's crimes, as well as those of our ancestors.

I am not morally responsible for actions I don't commit, or actions that others commit that I had no way of stopping.

This belief appears to go against a current cultural zeitgeist of regressing to tribalism and collective/ancestral guilt. The labelling is different, but the implications are the same.

As someone who maintains a vimscript plugin... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

There's API differences between vim8 and neovim that make it a pain to do certain tasks on both (UI manipulation or anything with asynchronous work). Supporting both in the same plugin is annoying. The split is already there and it's only going to get worse, so might as well go with a language that doesn't suck to write. I think upstream vim is the one needing to catch up. Vimscript sucks to write and maintain.
It's the headphones. 100% of the time if I call out or ring the bell and get no reaction, it's because they've got earbuds in. That's OK if at least they're behaving themselves. People who walk onto a busy bike path without looking and with earplugs in are the real menace.
