If the sleep actually really matters and if long hours do damage long term productivity the way studies suggest, then the frequent heroic effort is irrational and detrimental to productivity. There is no way around it.

There is no way around it for borderline employees too. Assuming these studies are correct, what the heroic effort for borderline employee do is signaling desperation and emotional investment.
Imagine the roles were reversed. A country was building a base on your border to try and effect your countries policy. Would that make you back down?
Theft is an abstract concept, and paying taxes simply doesn't reflect the meaning of that word.

Paying taxes is a result of the legislation we've indirectly put into action by voting our people into office. Robin Hood acted out of his own agenda, albeit an allegedly noble one. I'd call the latter theft, without judging it on an ethical level. Taxes aren't that.
No no, they don't have extra legs, just more feet randomly on their body.
It may even be 100 years for all we know. It's not a problem of legislation. It's a problem of not knowing how to do this. This really has to be emphasised: it will most likely be much harder to achieve anything here. The covid vaccine was exceptional not only in the overall time-to-market but also in that it just worked on the first try. I'd wager a working HIV vaccine will instantly attract a Nobel prize, if not more than one.

Everyone has heard of the covid strains and the anxiety around them (are the strains much worse? will there be cross strain immunity?). This is like child's play compared to HIV, where essentially every infected person has a separate HIV variant, evolutionally crafted to evade the specific host immune system as best as it can. I would call it "amazing" had it not been inappropriate to call "amazing" a deadly disease.

Read the full paper, they go in detail on how the vaccine would have to create a "portfolio immunity" against the parts of the virus that are known to be most important. For example in terms of the humoral immunity they call them broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs). Those will have to cover a range of variants.
Smarter at what? Smarter at the things you are good at of course and there are lots of people who are not good at the things you are good at, so you consider yourself smarter than average.

If you asked people if they were smarter at everything than average what would they answer?
Big Rewrite, everyone!
A code repo is like a local volunteer group or local sports club. People go there on their free time to engage in an activity they enjoy partaking in.

In this analogy, it's Sunday, you go to your local bike club ready to bike in the mountain. Suddenly one of the member shows up with a t-shirt and scarf with "Free Palestine" or something of that nature.

I feel this is not a productive move. Now people in the group may find offense because they don't share the viewpoint, and it may start a conflict, driving energy away from the initial goal of biking and talking about biking.

A more productive approach would be that this activist person make friends at the club, then try to engage with them after the club is over, or on a side-channel (e.g. "Can I add you on [social network]?").

Politics is a divisive topic, so should be discussed with care after a minimum layer of trust is built. Jumping into an interest group and basically yelling a slogan is not a productive way to achieve change. It's also stressful for people who came to the interest group to relax and enjoy their interest.

Many places already exist to engage in politics. And in places which are not design for it, I feel it's fine to engage a little, but it has to be smart, tactical, and tasteful. Not yelling a slogan and expecting that the world is now improved, while the room stares at you.
It only increases if you don't pay the 100 CHF fine on the spot. If you do, they don't take your details.

In practical terms, non secret chats messages are stored, more or less cleartext, on Telegram servers. In this sense, yes, it is much less secure than Whatsapp. Though I don't know if, in whatsapp, the metadata is also e2e encrypted
Actually the one sweating should be Russia, because on the long haul (10-20 years), Germany is going to be energy independent due to massive investments (also subsidies) into renewable energy.

Most of the countries that largely depend on oil/gas exports (Russia, Saudi Arabia, etc..) are going to be facing a major socioeconomic crises in the next decades.
I think economic interventions are cheaper and faster to implement.

Military interventions have a tendency to escalate.
In fact, the M1 hype squad is 'clearly very biased' than I am. 'It is faster than everything I've seen on a laptop without a fan' and 'runs (some but only approved) iOS apps' and that is it.

If the software does not run, requires a very involved workaround or is unstable enough to prevent someone doing their work, then all of the above is useless.

Evaluation of new shiny toys comes with a for and against. Let me be clear: going all in on an entirely new product with early 1.0 software is a risk that can't be ignored and it was hidden by most and not shown on November 2020 by the fanatics.

My question still remains unanswered: Anything other reason as to why I should buy a M1 Macbook NOW rather than waiting for M1X/M2 instead?
Monogamy and casual sex are not opposites. You can both monogamously engage in casual sex, and be non-monogamous and reject casual sex.
Ok that’s embarrassing. Thought they needed external processing power. Thanks!
Is it possible to make a BSD kernel real-time. (No, IIRC.) I notice Elk uses Xenomai. NetBSD has a utility called schedctl that purports to control the scheduling of threads and processes. An example in the manpage describes running top(1) with "real-time priority". https://man/netbsd.org/schedctl.8

The ability to compile a (close to) real-time kernel seems to be one difference between Linux and BSD not often discussed.

I don't have scientific benchmarks but I did observe noticeable performance differences in data ingestion workflows between a machine with a SATA 3 drive and a machine with a NVMe drive (and it was a mid-range one, with 2200/1700 MB/s speeds).

But the gains are only coming if you properly setup the machine, e.g. a NVMe drive can't make much use of its high concurrency stats if you don't have a strong multicore CPU with a newer motherboard that allows for more traffic.
That is correct - the 64K limitation is per IORING_OBJECT. Nothing stopping a process from creating multiple objects, as many as its handle table allows actually, so very similar to NVMe.
I think a heatmap is a reasonable thing to measure. I just wish UX research was a little more scientific (by for example, coming up with multiple hypotheses and then conducting more experiments to eliminate them).

Done that :) I didn't mention it, but the project was deployed to AWS, CI using Gitlab, no CD but automated deployment using scripts. I didn't shard Postgres as it can handle around 1000 calls a second with the basics, which is more traffic than this project will ever get.
ITG is three letters as well though.
The concept of "free stuff" is also rather artificial: it comes from the idea that we MUST pay for things.

Imagine we build self-sustained machines capable of producing and distributing enough food for twice the Earth's population. Does it still make sense for people to have to PAY for their food?

As a reminder, many of our ancestors gathered fruits that grew on trees or hunted animals -- they did not need to PAY anyone for food.

The idea of paying for food makes sense in a world where food is scarce and great effort is required to produce it. As the difficulty in producing in volume decreases, so should this artificial price we put on it.

We still don't have such food-producing machines. But that's a direction in which we're going, and we should shape our society with this kind of thing in mind.
In Germany they recently did some experiments – while it has to be said that the comparison was only with a fare reduction and not a full-scale abolishment of fares, they found that service increases were more likely to attract additional users than fare reductions.

So unless service levels are already maxed out and really cannot be increased further without disproportionally large investment, I'd personally rather prefer that that money was spent on funding more frequent services instead.
This came up in the javascript-world.
Flying over Belarus might be a good income for the country - no longer.

An interesting shift of the last decade or so of sanction wars is that sanctions must be targeted against the regime, not the people. Otherwise it's a bit of an own goal - you give the regime a bogeyman to point at.

As such, this seems like a good, pragmatic type of sanction. Few regular Belarusians will feel the impact, but it does strike at the regime, even if it seems like small change.
What would be an example use of the word free that you would find appropriate?
If it's restricting flights over their airspace then it only really needs Poland, Lithuania and Latvia. And I'm sure they would be quick to implement such a ruling, as even before this incident they weren't on the best of terms with Belarus.

In Vienna (Austria), we recently had a discussion[1] about the expansion of broadband internet. Unfortunately, politics gets in the way about where, how and who finances the cables such that only new buildings receive fibre optic cables. It's such a tragedy. I always thought that a startup needs to get in this space to disrupt the establishment.

Plane was flying to South America, had plenty of fuel to return to the starting point, and airspace wasn't closed in that direction (the only time I can think of a sudden widespread "land now or be shot down" issue was 9/11)

The flight wasn't covered by Chicago either as it was a diplomatic flight - the alleged search is a whole separate problem
I guess this is a joke about the continued claim of the Savoy house to a title that was abolished 75 years ago, and which was pretty tenuous to begin with (they're basically a French family, who effectively conquered the country in the XIX century by exploiting unification movements across the area - which were, ironically, ideologically republican, but had to accept the monarchy out of realpolitik).
It's been shown (in rats) that saturated fats are protective against cirrhosis and unsaturated fats (linoleic acid in this case) are required for liver injury.

I'm wondering, why aren't oceans covered in photosynthesizing organisms, like land, or even some stationary ponds are? There's some algae of course but most sunlight seems "wasted". Is it really mechanical (waves break them all up)?
Yeah, nice try. This seems a bit 'out of place'.
This is how sanctions usually work. The leaders of the country should be representing interests of the people.

> This is only going to help Lukashenko's narrative that the West is plotting against Belarus.

This narrative only works short-term. Sooner or later people realize it is not what is happening no matter how much propaganda is being produced.
GitHub Mobile isn't open source
Can't really blame facebook for once. Even 0bin.net must obey take down requests. In fact, we often have to comply for requests that don't match our jurisdiction because hosting will shut you down without checking anything.

By that metric JSON is the clear winner but that's not the case, its a win for Rust and also for C, C++, Dart, GO, Python and many more.

TBH I don't really get it, because I can put my hands in the same position (grabbing the ends of my bar with a rotated wrist) without the bar-ends just fine. Yes, the leverage is a bit smaller, but I can do this for "resting", and I can even pull some.

Mind you, ever since we had these crazy low gears (even on 1x now) there is no need for the extra leverage a bar-end provides. Maybe that's the reason they went extinct.
Not just republics - this particular claim descends through the short-lived King of Italy (which missed the age of absolutism by several centuries) from the Papal States.
It is the only one.

The problem is that EU itself is closed due to COVID(we can't get visas renewed) + we have internal ban on transit through ground borders due to COVID(but most likely to prevent people from moving out permanently)

So essentially, with this ban it is hard to escape if situation goes south.
when will be the turn for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=734643 ? 9 years already.

I wish I could donate just to fix this bug for everybody.
For me the reason I see it mostly as something negative is because most necroposts are pointless. They're often only written because the author forgot to check the date and thus didn't realise their comment won't contribute anything useful. Like when a user tells others in a 7 years old, obsolete thread they're wrong because shiny new solution XYZ exists.

It wasn't one of the EU's citizens, it was a Belarusian citizen. They are a sovereign country with the full backing of Russia. I would say this is the minimum the EU needed to do, and probably some sanctions on the leadership as well. It's hard to do much more without further deteriorating relations with Russia. I prefer to avoid a tank war in Eastern Europe, thank you very much.
Not if you brought the land since 2013: If the church hasn't registered the chancel repair liability in the land's title register, there's no liability. And very few churches registered, judging it a pretty big middle finger to your congregation.

I don't really agree here, even if they're not used much by the community OCaml can be written as a regular procedural or OO language. There are a few thing that can look weird for people new to this (immutable by default, the type system) but they're precisely what people looking for a GC'd Rust want I think. Rust also takes a lot from functional languages, and idiomatic Rust code usually looks like functional code. I think the biggest shock coming from Rust to OCaml would be the compiler errors and the quantity of online resources. There's a world of difference between the two, and they matter a lot when learning. I think the same is true for Scala. I don't know if F# is the same but since it takes from OCaml it may still have the procedural capabilities, and it seems it still has the OO features of OCaml.

I do agree that D and Nim may be easier to approach from C# or Java, or even Python for Nim or C and C++ for D. These already represent a huge chunk of programmers, but not really what the typical person looking for a "garbage collected Rust" is, in my opinion. Especially since Java and C# programmers already have Scala and F#. While they're both different from what they're used to, they leverage the same plateform and can use the same libraries which is a huge plus.

I agree with your conclusion too, and I think OCaml suffers from this too. Scala and F# have at least the libraries part covered.
When I commuted by bike there was one red light that was infuriating. It was a three way cross-section with a tram in the middle. I was going straight in a bike lane and there was no turns to the right. Yet I was stopped by the red light. I asked the local council why I had to stop on the red when there was NO obvious reason for it. The answer was that heavy vehicles like busses turning left onto this road lane couldn't clear the turn without using the bike lane. So instead of expanding the road a meter, they had me stop on a red light, which in 97% of cases was not necessary at all.

(I cycled on red most days)
It depends. Systems can display so-called emergent properties, i.e. the system's behavior is “more than just the sum of its parts”. Components that are simple in isolation can still form complex interactions. When that happens, you'll need to use the bigger guns.
Well,

I looked at both patches and didn't like either one of them. The user 'manfred-kaiser' makes a good point and I have confirmed that he is correct. However the fix he is proposing is not a very good fix. So in my opinion both of the proposed fixes are not sufficient.

The proposed fix: https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/commit/b3855ff05...

This proposed fix means OpenSSH is not secure 'by default' and would require HostKeyAlgorithms to be set in the config file. Furthermore... there needs to be an existing public key. Also keep in mind that SSHD refuses to use group/world-accessible keys.

So if this patch is accepted CVE-2020-14145 will continue to work on 'misconfigured' servers.

"It's not our fault, your OpenSSH was misconfigured!"
What theatre-owners fail to realise is that many people pirate the movie not to avoid the payment, but because MANY people hate theatres as an establishment.

I want to watch in a small, portable screen changing positions on my couch, not sitting in a static position for over an hour, on a huge screen, full of lines, people, smells, and even 20 minutes of ads.

I wouldn't mind paying the price TO SEE A MOVIE. It's just that all the rest of the theatre experience is crap.

I'm not sure if Belarussians having to cancel their holidays to the West and going to Crimea instead is going to have the desired effect of driving sympathies among Belarussians toward the west.

Moreover the people who actually like Lukashenko will probably be pretty indifferent to this. They weren't planning on flying to Berlin any time soon. I'm almost certain Putin will jump on the chance to have alternate routes to Russian tourist destinations opened up (possibly even subsidized, like he did for flights to Crimea).

I'm starting to wonder if Lukashenko/Putin wasn't counting on this kind of knee jerk reaction. If sanctions were on the cards anyway, with this stunt they got to pick the timing, reason and type.

Edit : not a popular analysis, it seems...
Not sure I'd call it a "rip", "ripping" for me is associated with "ripping media" which is copying video/music/data from CDs to local hardware. Lodash is more of a re-implementation of a MIT library, not something that should be shameful.

As I remember it, Lodash biggest difference was its modular approach also, not all about performance. Lodash also addressed some inconsistencies in Underscore.js.
Nice. But it still is crazy it's put there in the first place. why in the world would it need to?
The part of TFA that seems to be glossed over in the comments here is that Belarus released a video in the last 12 hours of him confessing to "crimes", which was presumably extracted under physical duress.
Interesting point, I guess when that caveman he can use a rock as
a hammer or a knife, he decided that thing is a tool that can be exploited to make himself more productive.

Fast forward several millennia and Bezos, et al, look at other humans and think "Look, things I can exploit.". (although we're all probably guilty of this to varying degrees).

So some humans are probably living happy luxurious lives, but the rest of us...
