Like you I also recently restarted watching SG-1 for the first time since I was a kid. It holds up a lot better than I expected it to. There's the occasional eyerolling cliche (and Carter's dialog about internal vs external gonads is kinda ridiculous) but like you said the cliches are also lampshaded pretty often. I just watched an episode where the Stargate broke and there was an exchange that went something like this—

General Hammond: How long will it take to fix the Stargate?

Technician: It'll be about 24 hours sir

Hammond: You have 12 hours

Technician. Sir, that's not how this works... it'll take about 24 hours

Hammond: Oh, okay then
However, his Doctorate is in Chemical Engineering and what field and area for his postdoc research isn't identified. A postdoc Chemical Engineer wouldn't normally be working on the theoretical foundations of quantum mechanics. I also have to assume that the claim that he is retired after a "[p]rofessional career in the industry" means that he is a retired Chemical Engineer, not a postdoc researcher in quantum mechanics, despite identifying his alma maters as his research affiliation with only a tiny footnote disclosing that he is 'retired'. This is also the latest of multiple attempts to publish this work over a period of years---and is apparently only the second paper he's written.

If he has indeed 'refuted' Bell's Theorem (and thus undermined the foundations of large swaths of theoretical Quantum Mechanics), one might expect he'd have at least one collaborator, a current research affiliation, and the interest of a journal with an impact factor greater than 2. It's possible he is the mythical solitary untrained genius, shunned by the establishment and producing Nobel-prize caliber research in his basement. That's probably not the way to bet, though.
One good thing about HDR is that it is sort of forcing more software to address color management in some way, because you simply can not mix SDR and HDR content without some color management.
Maybe, but if no one else was around, you would be in no position to refuse his help.

No mention of DragonflyBSD? They used pkgsrc as their main package manager for 10 years, portable or not, it still required quite a bit of maintenance. Seems like it was too much in the end, second-class citizen rights are not great.
I remember the first time I got two same model monitors and spent far too long failing to get the colour to match on both. The killer with colour problems is that it's not a problem until you see it and then you can't un-see it.
The advantages with BTRFS mainly lie within its copy-on-write snapshotting, and subvolume features.

I agree. Google Search is much much better. I personally built the list using this way along with other list already created.

I'm surprised everyone's forgetting vim already has a proto-multicursor mode.
Go into Visual Block mode (Ctrl-V) select all the lines then it's just A<delete ,>: Enum.Name0,

After that you can just select it again in visual mode and g Ctrl-A to get the right numbers.

If anything the g Ctrl-A part makes Vim way better than most multicursor editors.
Fun example of at least making an attempt...the Demuxed website for 2019[1] had a big, animated hero image on top of a deep purple background. Obviously we went with a video first, which looked great, but then...we ran into this problem and different browsers/hardware all would show slight-but-obvious differences between the video background and the hero background.

Ultimately we decided to just use a gif, but the other, more fun solution we experimented with was to use canvas to render the video, grab the hex value from one of the purple pixels, and set the background to that[2].

Do you think it makes sense for someone to combine these skills? My (unexamined) belief is that its better to have them split out. My reasoning:

1. Data science is often low latency work, running investigations to provide insight for strategic decisions. This is more of a political/comms role - and the cadence/requirements of the role tend to be counter to the long periods of uninterrupted focus that an engineer needs.

2. DE work is foundational, but once it's built, you probably want someone who is fast at adhoc analysis. (Unless you want to push into production - but that's a 3rd skillset, IMO)

3. It's hard to be both user and designer; having two brains has saved me from many mistakes related to bias and assumptions that I make. The DS can function almost as a product manager, synthesizing information and focusing on deliverables (the "what"). The DE can focus on the how.

Would love to hear your thoughts - this is an area that I'm very interested in.

Because countries had been regulating international trade since time immemorial. I don't think a moment's thought was given to not regulating trade.

Or do you mean, why have the federal government do it rather than 13 separate states? Mostly because having 13 separate states proved to be a huge headache. They did try it, with the Articles of Confederation. I mean, can you imagine having to apply tariffs and regulations at every single border?

There was nonetheless a huge debate over just how much power should belong to the federal government vs the individual states, and a lot of that ultimately led to the Civil War (which didn't really answer the questions, to be honest). But there wasn't really much argument over the utility of federal trade regulations. There was just too much benefit from interstate commerce to reinstate tariff borders at each state.
No, unless you put a sense resistor on every power pin, and add circuitry to individually measure current per pin.

Wear a gardening/fishing type hat, wear long sleeve shirts that are cool breathing, and wear jeans/pants throughout the summer. I was out gardening for 7 hours straight this past Sunday in 86 degree weather with high UV index and by wearing the type of clothing to cover your skin you'll be able to stay out for hours without burning. Also you'll of course want to take measured breaks and cool downs. Look at how people have to dress in middle-Eastern countries for a reference point. Keep most the skin covered. This way, you may only need to apply any sunscreen to the tops of the hands/fingers.
I recommend checking out gui frontends for nvim on desktop. I've been using neovide[1] for a while now and it's decent. I also found out that you can use nvim as a backend with the vscode-vim plugin which will load your nvim config and scripts.

Depends on your cost priorities.

If you're basically just walking by the box anyway while doing something you'd be doing otherwise, sure it's cheaper to drop $2 for a disc.

If you have to make a deliberate trip, you've transportation & opportunity costs. 2 round trips to the box, just to get/return the disc, is 6 miles total (1.5 miles one-way by road & parking lot) for me; at >$3/gal gas (wear/maintenance not included) that's >$1.50 plus the $2 rental. Then there's the time spent getting the disc, as several people wait around for someone to fetch it; if we're already at cumulative $4 cost, I'll pay the extra $1 (<$0.25 each) just so the group can watch what we want right now with a mere wiggling my thumb and not wait around half an hour.
> Julia's optimal sorts of workflows are different than many expect — especially for folks coming from static languages. Julia is a dynamic language. But also, Julia isn't Python. There are ways in which your workflows from other languages just aren't optimal in Julia. So when someone comes in "hot" and rants about how their workflow isn't working out how they expect, others jump in and — yes, defensively at times — point out alternatives that work for them.

And that's exactly what I've seen over and over again, in different communities, such as the ones I've mentioned, this attitude of "you're holding it wrong".

No language or tool can be everything to everybody, that's perfectly reasonable. If the goal of Julia is different from that of people that want to run applications in production—or at least those concerns aren't the most important ones—fair enough. But all too often (and I'm not necessarily talking about Julia here; I haven't spent enough time on the Julia forums, I'm mostly referring to some of the other examples I've cited) real concerns are just dismissed out of hand.

I also don't believe that enforcing certain very specific workflows at the exclusion of any others is necessarily a great way to become a language that lots of people want to use. People come from different backgrounds and have different preferences and needs (sometimes for very good reasons), successful languages like Python recognise this and let you work with a wide range of tools.

Finally, I'm just very skeptical about a certain kind of NIH syndrome that I've seen in some of these communities, something like "encapsulation? well, all these other languages might need it, but we actually don't, because XYZ" or similar things.

Obviously, since defining formats and driving logic through defined and identified-in-band formats is an element but not the whole of HATEOAS. OTOH, applications using pseudo-REST without HATEOAS typically hardcode both URLs and formats rather than relying on in-band identification of both.
"6% indicated they experience price increases on everyday goods and services. Notably, they pointed to on groceries (96%), gas (93%), dining out (57%), and clothing (42%)"

This is a poorly conducted survey if it's trying to show inflation is a problem. This response would be accurate even if inflation was just 2%. The concern isn't inflation but the amount of inflation.
I said this at the start (last year). The UK with its obesity crisis would suffer massively from the pandemic.

If the stimulus money only allowed people to maintain their income level rather than increase it, then the inflation pressure can't be coming from increased consumer spending.

GDP only dropped 2.3% last year [0], so there's approximately the same amount of stuff to buy.

The linked article reads to me like an incoherent attempt to scare people into thinking the stimulus was a bad idea.

Trillions were not distributed to the populace, trillions were distributed to businesses and the Fed to leverage even further to prop up the stock market. The “populace” got billions.

The printing isn’t really the problem either, it’s a symptom of policies from both parties for 50-60 years resulting in a nation that functions purely on debt from individual households, small businesses, publicly traded businesses, to the government itself.

Before the pandemic the majority of households couldn’t cover a $400 emergency. But the truth is businesses and governments were in the same position, and even in “the greatest economy the world has ever seen” the majority of them live the equivalent of paycheck to paycheck just servicing their debts.
I don't see how you came to that conclusion. With 111 issues and 63 PRs there seems to be quite a bit of work to do.

I wonder if this is a side effect of the downmodding of "drama filled topics". When something has enough attention and enough angles, people miss the downmodded topic and end up posting related dupes.
I've always wondered why the government when doing these ~10 trillion stimulus to various industries just didn't give every person ~$30,000 during the last year spread out over the year. Probably because that would drive actual inflation.

That is not strictly speaking true. There have been no long term studies for the most recent mRNA vaccines, but mRNA technology has been in development for many years with much of the effort going into studies of human safety. This long period of development and testing is how the method of packaging the mRNA in a precisely engineered blob of fat came about.
The practical problem I have seen with systems (mis?)designed like this is a scenario when the client needs to do action X on resource Y attached to thingy Z - and they already have all the required info to do that action - then they still need to do a request on Z to get the URL for Y and do a request on Y to get the url for action X, which adds extra requests and latency for no good reason. Like, there's no significant difference if there is some original request that has been made, but often that "original" request is otherwise unnecessary and only gets made to enable that extra layer of indirection.

> Chat has zero formatting anyway, even in comparison to text-only email.

Slack and WhatsApp support pointy-click GUI formatting and markdown-alike formatting for the things I mentioned. I think similar features are common in other options (Discord, Signal, WeeChat, whatever they're calling Riot now, Telegram, I would assume all those have something similar) It's short-form messaging so you can't, say, post a series of images with comments under each one, all in one message... but because of the medium, it's natural to just send that as multiple messages, each with one image and comment, anyway.

Tables, lists, and headings (for obvious reasons, in that case—it's not natural to send messages long enough to need them) aren't present in any chat systems I've seen. I think the more mobile-oriented options (WhatsApp) may not support fixed-width (AKA code) blocks, but Slack and some others do. Slack (and maybe others) also has support for solo or collaborative formatted document creation & sharing, which does allow headings and lists and tables and such, the UI for which isn't all that different from creating an email, except that the results are more consistent for all readers. Those (and pretty much any other documents) can simply be posted in any thread or conversation.

That's what I miss in email. Text-only email is fine for what it is, but HTML email is crap. Something in-between would be nice. Better UI for inlining, say, Markdown, would be great, and could be sent over plain-text email, but that's mostly up to clients to provide a useful reading-and-writing interface for that, so it's hard to get into a workflow of using that sort of thing unless all involved have similarly-capable clients.

So back when the electrical grid was being created it was basically impossible to step up and down DC. So it had to be distributed at the voltage it was used at. AC could be stepped up and and down with transformers which reduces losses. Now though that we have the circuitry to step up and down DC fairly easily you can actually get more efficient long distance transmission with DC due to not having to factor in things such as skin effect. I don't think things will change quickly but I do believe we will be seeing more DC systems in the home and workplace in the future since it will also mesh with renewables better.
