It is pretty common nowadays in functional programming languages to find operators which reverse the order of application or composition, so rather than writing f(g(h(x))) one can instead write “x |> h |> g |> f”. This style is quite popular, which leads me to believe that many people prefer object-action over action-object in same way. (Although perhaps this is more a critique of action-object-object vs object-action-action)

> What's different about the paper you cite, AFAIK, is the idea that the CMBR during the epoch he describes was the heat source.

If the CMBR was the heat source, what was the heat sink? You need a temperature difference to produce negentropy and allow for life. Did life evolve in the shadow of primordial black holes, or what?

Is there anything substantial here or some example of what they're building?
Yes that's correct. It wasn't scanned in the typical meaning of "scan" at the time, by digitizing the vertices of a triangle mesh. But it also wasn't an original design from scratch - which is what calling it a "design" seems to imply. The Bezier curves were plotted out to match the reference model, the Melitta teapot, so it was in a sense, a manual eyeballed scan. Calling it a "design" as something in opposition to a scan just seems a bit misleading. There is some overlap of those two terms with the Utah Teapot. The shape wasn't an original design, just the topology and representation were, and the digitizing process was manual and approximate, right?
I wonder what rabbits think of their representation in human media.
I always liked tools like Glade for GTK or Qt Designer where you design your application with a GUI in a WYSIWYG fashion, producing an XML file.

Then connect the elements (widgets) to the signal handlers in your programming language of choice.

Now, you can even customize the style of your widgets through CSS.

The current state of web development only lacks that graphical editor, instead of XML/CSS/whatever you have HTML/CSS/JS.

With CSS frameworks like Bulma[1], Bootstrap[2], Tailwind[3], or component frameworks like Quasar[4], Vuetify[5], etc... I think one could develop a "No-Code" IDE to design GUIs. We'll get there in a few years for sure.

There may already be some project like this[6].

It's not just some organization, there is a law in california.

If you don't like the law, complain to your local state legislator. For me, it didn't affect my ability to do my job or get employed, so I never cared about it. I supposed they could change the name to "licensed engineer. It doesn't bother me that the person designing roads, buildings or electrical distribution systems has to be licensed. My wife has a friend (Civil Engineer, PE) and it seems like all she does is review/approve stuff done by architects.
> The parent comment (and others in this thread) seem to think that these kind of accusations are always bad.

That's not what I gathered from the parent comment and it's not what "mobs do cause harm" mean, which is why I was confused by your rebuttal.

That might be the case, but we still have to deal with the times they aren't.
Maybe it's because they don't control Chocolatey. Everyone will switch to WinGet once it's somewhat on par just because it's the default, or because MS introduces integrations with other MS stuff.

I think this sort of thinking vastly overestimates the frequency with which these sorts of things happen. The risk seems high because you hear stories all the time, but that is because those stories are interesting and are shared widely. You don’t read about the 99.999% of the time that nothing bad happens.

This is like watching the evening news and deciding not to go outside ever because you are just sure you will murdered.. after all, every night they show a new murder!
That’s not what happened. Python was installed and on the PATH, it just refused to use it as long as that alias check box was turned on in system settings.

Try it yourself.
It would be OK if they didn't claim to be complaint, and FAILED SAFELY when used with complaint devices.

The issue is that they're both not compliant AND fail in a non-safe bad way.
I heard him talk to, I think Joe Rogan, about Oumuamua, and he presented the case that the unexplained acceleration could not be outgassing because no tail was observed. He also said it was weird that the velocity of the object was effectively stationary compared to the average velocity of this area of the galaxy, as if it was a kind of lighthouse/beacon. This seemed pretty compelling to me.

Eventually after digging deeper on both these topics I learned that it is absolutely possible to have outgassing that doesn't leave a tail, that could cause the observed acceleration. And that something being stationary relative to the other objects in this area of the galaxy is not at all unusual.

This kind of made me feel he was either being disingenuous or was just too emotionally invested in it being aliens to think clearly.

Sure, it could still be aliens, nonetheless, so could every rock and spot we see in the sky, though.

Are you in academia? I am and the state of the publishing is quite horrific. I simply don't read any papers at least in my field unless I'm specifically interested in some detail during my research, or am handed something specifically by a colleague or sometimes if asked specifically to do a peer-review.

This is a bit of a public secret, but quite widely researchers don't really trust articles anymore, if they ever did. Maybe some plot or dataset may give some insight and maybe some discussion has worthy information to ponder on. But mostly they're just some ads to put in a yet another funding application.

Most articles are just churned out to get some lines to CV or to look good in some metric. Publish or perish has turned into full-on bullshit or perish. The whole peer-review system (which is just around 50 years old anyway) is on the verge of just grinding to a halt due to the stupendous volume of hastily hacked together manuscripts.

I think many are still sort of hoping that this will somehow sort itself out. But the collapse of the quality after the explosion of electronic journals, consolidation of publishing houses and overall structure that doesn't really care at all about what is actually in the papers doesn't give much realistic hope.

It should be noted that there's sort of a "parallel reality" in academia behind the publication show. The ethos for academic integrity is still quite strong, teaching tends to be valued by the community (but not by the system) and face-to-face discussions can be of very high quality. But the signal-to-noise is so low in publishing that it's not really worth following.

We really need to get some new arrangement so that we don't drown in all this bullshit. Word-of-mouth, open data repos, conferences and just blogging and pushing stuff to git repos probably is most that's needed. The publishing structure is becoming just plain unnecessary bureaucracy.
> I tend to call it the bullshit culture because my favorite example is... writing a good paper for class is admired - but what's really praised is writing a paper that gets good marks without ever having read the subject matter.

I don't think this is an American thing. In fact, I've never seen this praised anywhere outside of maybe a few people back in High School.

I worked for a company that expanded rapidly with distributed offices all over the world. One of the growing pains we had was that the managers from certain countries, America included, were very trusting by default. This opened the door to a lot of manipulation from employees in certain other countries (which I'm deliberately not going to name) where getting away with a lie was more or less considered acceptable as long as you weren't caught.

The flip side of high property prices is that its currently a pretty shit investment for new wannabe landlords.

Rental yields on residential property are around 3% in most of the UK, which is roughly where interest rates are. This means landlords are now entirely dependent on leveraged price appreciation to make a decent return.

Many landlords have already sold up because the returns no longer justify the hassle or risk (bad tenants, rent arrears, etc).

Of course, one advantage to having your wealth in rental properties is rents are usually linked contractually to some measure of inflation.
That person literally confused science with religion. The whole point of science is to question, as oppose to religion where the answers are given.
This is misunderstanding. Extensions can read any data even with restrictive CSP. Malicious extension then can use other channel than the currently opened tab to exfiltrate them. There are many.

Extension users do want the extensions to interact with pages, often including cross-origin requests. That is what extensions are for and they won't work with restricting API surface.
Person A accuses Person B of sending creepy text messages. Person B shows a message history of what they claim to be the entire conversation between them, with no creepy messages in it. Person A refuses to share any text messages.

How is it sexist to believe that Person B is innocent? I think someone is being sexist or racist in this situation if their judgement changes depending on the race or gender of persons A and B. That's what the root comment wrote, or at least how plenty of people are interpreting it: it makes more sense to them that Person B is guilty and Person A is truthful by virtue of the fact that Person B is a man and Person A is a woman.

You are getting at it when you write this:

> But you disagree because you JUDGE the evidence differently,

Correct, but the deeper fundamental aspect is that they making their judgement based on the evidence. As opposed to making judgements based on the gender/race of the people involved.

Yea, I think this is likely a pretty big issue with highly specialized field - there can be an issue with new participants breaking into the field (due to an entrenched old boys club) along with a difficulty getting enough sample data specific to that corner of academia.

I wonder if we could randomly assign reviewers but allow the reviewers to self-report a level of familiarity on the subject matter in general (ideally in advance) and on the paper topic in particular.
Emacs lisp is not a bad language, but it's also not the reason for the existence of Emacs. It is the other way around: it was Emacs that created Emacs lisp. Initially, emacs was created on top of TECO, arguably the worst, most difficult programmable editor ever created. TECO language was so bad that they decided to switch. But emacs, the editor, was successful even running on top of a terrible language that nobody liked at the time.

In the US, it's been reported that black women had/have a habit of using baby powder in their underwear to stay dry down there.

> If 83% of Americans are doing it, inflation isn't an issue

Since I already explained why this is wrong in my first post (and you acknowledged it in your response, but shifted your criticism of thr headline to that the belt-tightening doesn’t explain inflation even though it is consistent with inflation from other causes), I think we've come full circle here.
Why Python though? If a user knows what Python is, they probably know enough about technology to install it themselves.

There is an expectation that during core working hours people will be somewhat responsive. That will differ org to org, and perhaps in your org there are no set working hours. In that case my current approach probably doesn’t hold as much.

My experience has been that simply telling them not to feel obliged to respond doesn’t really cut it, and people feel obligated regardless. This may be a cultural thing too, and again will probably differ company to company and region to region.

Even if let's say, the average longevity does not change, it would still be a game changer if you could be as healthy in your 80s as in your 70s. Agree that nobody wants to live to 100 while being strapped to a hospital bed the whole time.
I seriously can't believe that Nanite and Lumen can possibly work as good as they seem to look. There has got to be a catch, that demo video is way too cool. I also seriously love how they're focusing on fixing the VCS problems, it was my number one gripe with Unreal before - followed by their C++ flavor being too full of complex macros (at least for me, as I'm not too experienced in C++ and they really confuse me).

The problem with your desire to squelch nazis at all costs is that the tools for squelching nazis quickly get abused by labeling everything those possessing the tools don't like to be nazi content. Even if that weren't the case, you're infantilizing everyone else in the world, assuming that they're morons who will instantly start to genocide Jewish people because they saw some nazi babbling on about whatever it is that nazis babble on about. You're giving tremendous power to nazis and being incredibly insulting to pretty much everybody else.
I think this is a good take. What killed reddit was ultimately the proliferation of imgur (and image previews/quick-views for images). There was a dramatic shift from a primarily-text platform to a primarily-image platform, and that's why there's so much meme-heavy content.

When someone talks about a "good" subreddits, they probably mean that it's mostly text-based. /r/fpga and /r/amateurradio are two that come to mind for me.

Overall, I agree with what you're saying though; I no longer have an account and don't miss it at all.

The next hurdle will be the TSA's 100Wh limit on batteries. It's illegal to fly with anything larger.

That's why Apple's largest 16" Macbook Pro has an exactly 100 watt-hour battery. If some laptop can charge at 150W or 200W, then presumably it would draw enough power during normal use that'll it need more than 100Wh of battery to be usable for a long time.
Punishment or firing is different than believing or not believing. I agree you should have a higher burden of proof before doing those things.

Specifically for planarity, it's pretty easy to convince yourself that K5 and K3,3 are minimally non-planar. You don't come out with a rigorous proof but you do get an intuitive feel. With a decent motivating example it's accessible to kids.

> How is it sexist to believe that Person B is innocent?

Good grief. It's not! For exactly the same reason that it's not sexist to believe Person B is guilty, as exporectomy did above and as zozbot234 and you defended. Judgement calls aren't sexism.

But FWIW: by typical preponderance of evidence rules, multiple corroborating testimonies by unrelated witnesses sit way higher than "here's a screenshot of an unrelated event". I submit that the reason you're clinging so hard to that is that you really just don't WANT to believe this guy is a creep.

Which, fine. It's a judgement call, and you judged. Just don't tell the rest of us that you aren't.
Honestly a big reason is that there simply aren't tests.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "just a PR move" since this has strong legal implications with a timeline for one of the big players. Shell has been dealt a major legal blow, and precedent has been set for all the smaller players.

This will have big impacts for financing future fossil fuel extraction, because all the financiers see what's happened here.

This has major implications, there's no PR anywhere near this.

Ok, so you detect voltage drop of say 0.4V@5A on the phone end, so slightly out of spec. How do you decide whether it's a slightly underspecced cable (quite common) and 2W being radiated as heat from a 1m long cable (which is not really an issue), or great cable but high contact resistance (where 2W are concentrated into a tiny space that can't cool it)?

All the myths and stories of pretty much every culture reinforce these beliefs though. Stories are never about passive people putting in 12 hours a day, day after day building upon honest work.
