You're right, I should have used different language to make this point.
Its not merely "like" a religion. Faith and belief, scorn numbers science and history, authoritarian leadership, cultish belief in the inevitable apocalypse, control people via massive levels of guilt due to original sin, scorning shunning and hatred of non-believers and those insufficiently devout, hatred of apostates, encouragement of conversion by the sword or otherwise ... I'm sure there are a very small number of actual scientists doing actual science, but its only a tiny fraction.
The app stay focused on Android is great for this. It blocks opening apps or websites based on a schedule. Really helped kill my endless scroll habit. I found I do the empty fridge thing with these apps. I'm sure there's others on ios too
The Tree That Owns Itself
The difficulty with folklore is that it’s so intensely regional and period-specific, and that no real “canon” exists for most regions and times, especially when you’re reaching back into pre-christianity folklore.

This is the mistake that Campbell made. He thought you could unify folklore with some psychological frameworks. But you can’t, unless you’re employing gratuitous selection bias, which he did.

So it depends what you’re interested in! I’ve personally found it most fun to find some culture I’m incidentally connected to, with a long literary history, and try to find the earliest transcriptions and translations of stories that I can.

If you’re interested in some region and time in particular, somebody here can probably help get you started.
Yes, QucsStudio is closed but it is improving, with the sole work of one maintainer. He asked for some support, without much success. Also, although it is closed, check the improvements of QucsStudio over Qucs and see if he only cloned the project and said it is his or if he really care about a better simulator.
Also to be clear, Qucs helped me a lot when I was searching free and open source simulator, and even showed me the world of open source, but the latest release is from 2017. QucsStudio still improving, and improving. Site, docs, tutorials, etc.

As both are good projects, and one is the foundation of the other, I think both deserve some credit and support.

It's not evenly distributed, neither geographically or throughout the year. Some places will even get colder. Places like Siberia might get colder winners but warmer summers. Generally one can expect more extreme weather.
How do updates/security updates look on C7/C8 until then? Assuming you don’t have any C8? Otherwise, stable updates are going to be problematic converting those to Stream, no? Also, I wouldn’t myself count on Red Hat not welching on that C7 2024 EOL date. I can’t see them not pushing that up honestly.

As far as whether CentOS was a success or not, of course it was a massive success. The circumstances of its unnaturally accelerated death don’t change its wild popularity/usage/prevalence.
Florida is porous limestone. Even the most sophisticated seawalls wouldn’t prevent water from coming in through the sides and up, unless you drilled those walls very deep...and even then you’d have to get water from somewhere once you’ve pumped it all out of the state (an issue already happening regardless of carbon output - look up lateral saltwater intrusion)

TIL. It’s an interesting subject, for sure, given we incorrectly generally consider ancient peoples isolated.

It’s obviously untrue given Alexander The Great and the peoples who traversed the Mediterranean, like the Phoenicians.

As for Northern Europe, I understand that a Buddha was dug up in a Swedish Viking era burial site.

My point been, some people travelled far for trading reasons.

The thing with ConTeXt is that is changing way too fast and its documentation is poor, albeit they are working on that.

For example, with the recent LMXT implementation, the lettrine module support was lost and things like the file naming convention for external typescripts changed all of a sudden. LMXT introduced cool features but not all are documented, maybe only on the source - and not all people like me know how to read plain TeX or have a hard time finding something in particular between that rather weird mess of source files with a weird naming convention
the visuals in the SF environment are really cool! Great work PD team.
Is the Sun only getting brighter, and if so, is it changing at a pace that would even have a noticeable impact in, say, 1000 years?

I saw on Google that it gets 6% brighter every 1 Billion years. That's a really long time, and I'm not sure what that even means anyway.
I thought this was going to be about HR Giger's "Penis Landscape", which almost bankrupted Jello Biafra's record label.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penis_Landscape
Exactly. Even for places that get "better weather", that still is a huge strain on the existing ecosystem and economy that is built for the current climate. In a century or two some places might be better off, but the transition will be painful.

Also, as the saying goes, the rising tide lifts all boats. Even if only a couple of countries are hit hard, we will all feel the effects in trade and immigration. And it looks like a lot of countries might be hit hard.
Nobody expects the Spanish I^Hpandemic, that only happens once every 100 years or so. This should be expected, and the previous administration did everything to demolish whatever was left of pandemic response teams and plans, before it hit.
He won't. The political party that elected him is split now. Half of them want him back, but half want to move on, so he is gonna just lose again.
And a quick reminder that the IPCC reports/estimates excluded arctic methane emissions...which we a) now know are definitely happening and b) are just catastrophic positive feedback loops.

The gun seems to have been fired.
Fusion could be the miracle we need to kickstart strong negative emissions.
Nonsense. Now we prepare for this to happen - by preemptively allocating places for displaced people can go. We do our best to limit how many countries are affected.

There's never a point where all we can do is throw up our hands and do nothing. There's always something to be done, even if it's not directly related to the cause of the crisis.
We Built Audiograms in the Browser with Web Audio API and HTML Canvas
It’s even worse. Not only do we need to get emissions as close to zero as possible, we need to suck a whole bunch of CO2 out of the atmosphere. The amount of effort, resources, energy, and collective action needed is extraordinary. The challenge ahead cannot be overstated.

@computerphage: Thank you for the typo correction! I am off for more coffee.
While some ill effects can most likely no longer be prevented, even worse things happen at higher temperatures. Every tenth of a degree makes things worse.
That's not good risk analysis. Severity is one axis, likelihood of occurring is another.
Yes, it can definitely uplift an image. But if you change too much, then you have very little of the original image - and at that point - is it a photograph or is it just digital art?

But to be sure, post-processing is an optional step, not a requirement - and in some cases - its banned (e.g. photo journalism).

Interesting point, thank you. I was reading the docs today and encountered the following (presented fyi):

It turns out that this is currently true [0] because the base audio context (BAC) time is accurate to within 20us whereas RAF is accurate to within 1ms [1]. However in future browser versions the default sensitivity for BAC is going to drop to 2ms. This is done to help improve user privacy by hampering browser fingerprinting.

This is all configurable and its materiality depends on use case, but interesting read: thank you.

It's pretty simple - there are too many people and they are increasingly living high consumption modern lives.
The point of this ad is not "use Bitcoin as a currency" it is "buy Bitcoin as an investment".

This really is about "people that normally wouldn't be investing, think they are good investors because they are investing and getting impressive returns".

Rich people will likely just move to higher elevations and not much else.
Homeless people of people with low income cannot afford $4k rent. Also I find it preposterous that people can make $7.5k/month in the first place from just house value increase. At the rate at which housing get more and more expensive we will soon reach a point where new home owners will never be able to fully pay a mortgage back
Beads uses the proven MODULE system of Modula-2 and Oberon. Of course we don't expect people to write in one single file. That the examples are small programs does not reflect the modular design of the language.

The entire purpose of the project is to build a world of software constructed by interchangeable parts. But to accomplish interchangeable parts, one has to make sure that there are as few external dependencies as possible, which is why the language has layout, drawing, event tracking, and database features pulled into the language, so as to not have one reaching outside, which would invariably break over time.

C proved that a standard library was a major feature of any language, and Beads has a well designed, but compact standard library, where you have a few functions, with lots of options so as to reduce the total number of functions one has to learn.

Hmm, I just tried it for the first time yesterday, and was actually quite impressed. I made a screen recoding of a desktop app, with me talking over it the whole time. The quality of both video and audio was good, and the file size was something like 5-10MB.

I can't believe I've been using Windows 10 for so long and didn't even know about this - I kind of wish they'd change the name TBH; would also make it seem more reasonable to be installed be default on Enterprise eds!

We keep coming up with crazy ideas to address climate change instead of going after the big problems

I wrote a blog about it a couple years ago. Basically, we needed to stop using coal years ago

We should be thankful for their selfless action and wisdom. Carbon credits as part of a new global currency may save us all. We just need digital IDs, a cashless society and digital currency to ensure responsible purchases.
If cryptocurrency energy usage is the straw that breaks the camel's back, we were doomed to begin with.
But that's what's happening. We take people space away.

And primarily people who did not produce the co2

Globalization brought us also much closer over all.

I saw a view documentary about it and those people are aware why it happens.

While we did a lot of fixing medicine and food for them, climate change is what they are paying for and they didn't knew but we did for a long time now.
Every non-democracy or republic is oppressing its people in some way shape or form. So yea that is respecting human rights.

I lived in Miami for much of the 80s. The King Tides they encounter regularly, now, were unknown then. I can point you at a few dozen houses I know of, that are no longer on the coast, because the ocean is there now.

Former neighbors tell me these days they've never seen the water so high; it's not just me.
When you say "growth has plateaued" do you mean that year on year increases to our output are now constant? Or do you mean year on year output is now roughly constant?

I realize this distinction between derivative values is further complicated by the even more baseline measure of total accumulation. But I do ask in earnest and don't know the answer.
Pretty much all the numerical results in my chart (vitals, lab results etc) are stored numerically, and are importable / graphable in Apple Health.
The Great Basin is an endorheic basin (no outflow) located west of the Rockies, so not quite all the water.

From Wikipedia: “ The hydrographic Great Basin is a 209,162-square-mile (541,730 km2) area that drains internally. All precipitation in the region evaporates, sinks underground or flows into lakes (mostly saline). As observed by Fremont, creeks, streams, or rivers find no outlet to either the Gulf of Mexico or the Pacific Ocean. ”
I'm not sure either. They make no effort to subvert or even argue against that trope. Why reference a trope that argues the opposite of your point without putting in any effort to refute it?
I'd be very surprised if that exact prediction was made by peer-reviewed climate models 30 years ago, or if a scientific paper from that time suggested that Florida would become "the next Atlantis" by 2020.

It's quite easy to find flooding maps that show the effects of various sea level changes. It's not so easy to find concrete predictions about when those changes are due.

Perhaps we should stick to the science instead of imagining hypothetical news stories from decades ago and complaining they were silly.
I am using the word discrimination in a general sense.

It's not *just* the color or race of someone's skin, but also a lot other factors.

If we trace back the repeating attributes of social class and wealth they all tend to gravitate to similar genetical discriminations (from wikipedia: "ability to distinguish one thing from another.")

And once the discrimination crosses the ingroup barrier, then the measure keeps "ranking" them among the different outgroups.

Before the internet the ingroups were not measured against outgroups as much.
Actually, the prediction was "If we don't do something in the next 30 years, the scales will tip, so we have to act now."

Turns out we didn't act, the scales did tip, and it may actually be too late to do anything about it now.

Indeed. This should be their Chernobyl. But the reasons are all the paranoia and fear that all the cognitive dissonance creates in such a repressing atmosphere.
It's not the absolute temperature that is the problem, is the change in temperature. Humans can survive in a pretty large range of temperatures. But the places we currently settle and use for agriculture might become unsuitable. Similarly, the biosphere as a whole can adapt to essentially any temperature; Earth has been significantly hotter than today in the (distant) past. However during times of rapid climate change mass extinctions happen. To my knowledge, temperature hasn't changed as quickly as it is changing today, ever.
What do you think is more efficient? Some how convincing all Americans to learn the metric system to the point that they can intuit differences in temperature, or, explain it in a way they can understand it by simply using a different unit of measurement?

I mean, I agree with you, but trying to get the entirety of a country to educate themselves in time to do something about it is not really going to work.
I did the math, and my child has officially spent more of his summers inside than out because of the constant wildfires.

I maintain that most of the worst predictions assume an inability for people to adapt. Still, it amazes me to no end how many people are willing to barrel head first into an avoidable fate without taking their foot off the throttle. I wonder to what extent people will deny the reality around them.

Based on what people have already been accepting as normal, it does feel like we will get to the point of knife fighting over a cup of water before someone admits that we've had an awful lot of El Nino years in a row.

Last year, the county forester came around and explained to my uncle that the reason so many of his 100+ year old trees were dying was a lack of water, and he needed to thin them out on his property to keep the rest alive. It feels like he finally turned a corner and accepted that something is wrong (he still doesn't believe it's man made, but you know, tiny victories).

Why shouldn't the word "male" have moderate female bias? It depends on the contexts in which it appears across the corpus.

As a biological sex, I can think of numerous ways it will co-occur with "feminine" words - the first few sentences of the Wikipedia entry for "Male" being a good example:

"A male gamete can fuse with a larger female gamete, or ovum, in the process of fertilization. A male cannot reproduce sexually without access to at least one ovum from a female, but some organisms can reproduce both sexually and asexually."

This demo shows gender bias, which as a concept is deep-rooted in most if not all natural languages. Consequently, it may be more accurate to say the word "male" is tips the scale towards "feminine" or "womanly" rather than "masculine" or "manly".
Weren't 10,000 or 15,000 RPM hard drives like 15W or 20W or something?

These 2U or 4U cases, or tower desktop cases, were designed to efficiently remove heat from storage devices, as well as the 3000W++ that the dual socket CPU and 8way GPUs will pull.

10W is tiny for desktop and server. Barely a factor in overall cooling plans.
Sorry, where are climate change deniers being forced to convert "by the sword?"

There are elements of your comment that are worth listening to, others give into hyperbole which reduces your credibility.
2/3rds of Bangladesh is <5m above sea level. If that much of the country disappeared, including Dhaka and Chittagong, you could well say they don't have a country any more.
The Clathrate Gun idea you’re referring to is not considered mainstream, it’s not endorsed by the IPCC for instance.
The security risk is you accept a JSON object from an API, that object gets merged with some set of defaults, oops turns out that object was specifically crafted to override the global __proto__ with some way of escalating privileges ({__proto__: {_isAdmin: true}}) and now you're owned.

It requires some knowledge of the inner workings of the system (in the above, you'd have to know that the auth provider checks for a cached `isAdmin` prop on some object before executing the authentication routine to generate it). But if your system is designed to only be secure if no-one knows the inner workings, you're probably owned anyways.
But a switch doesn't include a hairdrier, er, GPU generating heat within the enclosure. Server cases have potentially multiple GPUs, CPUs, plus now these 10W controller chips
"We were heading off the cliff anyway, so I put my foot on the accelerator"
You are overestimating the average person's ability to distinguish a premise from its negation, and underestimating the power of word association.

Even if we don’t worry about ads, Google doesn’t exactly have a good track record with patient privacy. Look at what you guys did with Ascension, allowing physicians to access medical records from other hospitals within the system based on similarity.

To be clear, just because something represents a common-sense workflow improvement or might be useful to the physician doesn't mean you can just go and do it. While it might be a good idea to pull similar cases (or counterfactual examples) from your vast set of patient records, it doesn't mean it's LEGAL. Medical records are not like case briefs, you can't just crack open someone's record without proper consent.
