Their lived experience, whether perceived or by proxy, is that women hated them first. The 'incel culture' is really just the same echo chamber amplification that the Internet enables with any marginalized group. Some are going to get out and lead a normal life, some are going to lean into it and get more and more detached from reality.
If 2 ppl are running on a track, given different needs, abilities, personalities, life experience etc to get into sync usually one has to slow down and the other has to speed up.

But staying in that state for ever can be quite an unnatural thing,
because both aren't running at their natural pace.

So communication is key. People need to hear that you appreciate when they slow down for you. They need to hear what made you want to speed up for them. They need to hear you arent holding them responsible to stay in sync with you forever but that you enjoy their company and the reasons why. They need to hear where you are heading and why you think its going to be fun. It becomes easier to reconnect with people when you spend time thinking about and verbalizing some of these things.

Its all about just being honest and saying simple things. You can do it.
"Somewhat possible", in the sense of "extremely unlikely" is correct. This is a pretty small effect size in mice. If it's even real in mice, it's very likely due to specific factors related to mice that live in a small box all their lives and eat the exact same cheap dry food every day.
Denmark is an outlier among EU countries in using an app for internal travel and activities. Many other EU countries have already reopened their restaurant sector without requiring any proof of vaccination.
I had a very hard time finding an efficient way to add more NVMe slots to my personal storage server. If you want more than 1 NVMe drive per PCI slot (even if the slot is x16), it seems you need an expensive card that only works with certain motherboards. What are these PCI switches you mention?

> I look at bookshop shelves and wonder where half the stories are. Where’s the book by the girl that works in the laundrette, the man who serves you in McDonalds, the Romanian woman who cleans your hotel room, by the lads that work on the railways or the building site? We don’t care about these people enough because they don’t get heard, and they don’t get heard because we build a success machine that they don’t want to be part of, or can’t access, or use, or afford.

This is a strange sentiment.

How many girls working in laundrettes, or men working at McDonalds, or lads working on the railways, or especially Romanian women who clean hotel rooms, can and do write quality fiction or non-fiction in their spare time and submit it to publishers? Sure, some authors have come from working-class background and had all sorts of menial jobs in their youth, which has made their books all the more interesting; but they also had something else. They had a rare sort of imagination, a love of the written word, an incredible drive to write, and a skill they had developed through continuous writing. At least the posh class is required to read and is instructed in writing as part of their education; so it's easier for the talented among them to discover their talents.
And with charging stops once you embrace it the dynamics are different:

With fossil fuels you first drive to the pump, fill up, then take a break for restroom, food, ...

With an EV you drive up to the charger, connect and do the other things. A while later you come back and drive on.

Also instead of a long charging stop when the battery reaches 0% you can plan for multiple short stops, which is positive for concentration. (Given enough chargers)

> Most electric car owners don’t rely on public charging infrastructure at all.

Right. For commute usage you charge over night at home and/or at the office while working and can completely avoid the weekly (or whatever) detour to the gas station completely.
The only thing that comes to mind is the ESP32, but that isn't directly comparable. Something like the SAMD21 is about $1 at 5k quantities but only has one core and about 32-128k of RAM
Swiss parliament gives green light for underground cargo train

I mean, you can't do that even during summer with current vehicles :D
The percentage of the global population that has ever driven 140km/h (87mph) as an average speed for five hours continuously is tiny. Fine if that’s your use-case but it is a vanishingly small niche.

Well, now I'm feeling nostalgic. This little discourse brings back memories of the good old days on comp.lang.* and elsewhere on USENET and other ancient fora. ;)
German article on the approval today: https://www.srf.ch/news/schweiz/staenderat-zur-gueter-u-bahn...

The parliament approval simplifies the permits required to dig across cantons etc. If financing succeeds (no government money at this time) the first part will be build from Zürich to Härkingen-Niederbipp by 2031 for 3 billion Swiss francs. (3.34B USD). The "pods" are expected to travel at 30kph in a 6m tunnel.
It also - technically - works that way in the US as well when it comes to drivers licenses (although it depends on the state).

The difference is that it's actually enforced in Switzerland, and depending on which country you emigrate in from, you can also be forced to retake your drivers test if you wait long enough (which is something of a less-discussed issue in the expat community).
Maybe I'm old-fashioned (the first microcontroller I used was the venerable Microchip PIC16F84, back in the late 90s) but I still think they label it "perfect" when it has no on-board program storage (i.e. flash).

To me, that just makes things so much more complicated than most of the competition, since any board has to go multi-chip in order to add external flash.

What am I missing?
> N. wasn’t a particularly close friend, and we didn’t have a falling out per se. The friendship just fizzled, until eventually he decided to unfollow me on Twitter, to put a final nail in a slow process of undoing.

> A flaccid “what happened?” text went unresponded to, and just like that, the relationship was over.

> Rationally, I know there was no reason for him to respond to a text asking for closure. Our friendship was brief, just over a year, and for the last six months, not much of a friendship at all. It amounted to a mostly barren Signal thread, with the odd message here or there about astrology, or a podcast neither one of us listened to completion.

The author didn't lose a friend here. They never had a friend here.

I wonder how much of the author's problem is about a mistaken expectation. The expectation that you can meet someone, make contact, and then file that person as a friend forever who will never leave you.
February 2020 when I first heard this line it contradicted all the "experts" that I should be able to trust on a topic that as someone not trained in biology I need trust worthy experts. By now it has become clear that those experts were using their position of authority to say things that were not true instead of admitting they didn't know.

Once a few experts broke and started saying the truth that others still haven't really embraced changing science is a reflection on those experts that is morally criminal (probably not legally)

Prevalence of nonsensical algorithmically generated papers in the scientific lit
We're being very vague here. What is unfair? Unfairness smells of injustice, and injustice entails entitlement (i.e., something is unjust when I do not receive something that is owed to me). But we haven't named the goods that we're supposedly entitled to. Where's the injustice? Or is it envy masquerading as righteous indignation?
In my anecdotal experience, it takes very little time for juniors to pick up adding contracts to their code. You need to grasp implication, equivalence, exclusive or, and get used to declarative code, but then it's easy. (I often compare it to SQL.)

I find contracts personally super useful as I can express a lot of relationships in the code trivially and have them automatically verified. For example, when this input is None, then that output needs to be positive. Or if you dele the item it should not exist in this and that registry, and some related other items should also not exist any more.

Drone crashes into erupting Icelandic volcano
Not true. Automatic emergency braking (AEB) has been shown to reduce frontal crashes by about 43% and injuries in those crashes by 64%. That's a pretty big sizable jump. I can personally attest AEB has kept me out of at least one crash.

"Don't forget about the taxation aspect - as the sales of petrol and diesel fall, so does the tax revenue."

I'm amazed this myth persists for those in floating currency areas.

Money doesn't stop at its first use. Instead the money is spent on something else, which is taxed.

For every $100 a government spends it will get $100 back for any positive tax rate. It's a simple geometric progression, and looks just like a stone skipping across a pond.

Do the maths and you'll see what I mean.

What stops that tax turning up instantly is that it takes time to spend the money - sometimes a long time. Which is what we generally call 'savings'.

None of that matters though in a sovereign currency area. Savings are functionally voluntary taxation - which from the other side of the balance sheet are called 'borrowing'.

Once you have the causality straight in your mind fearing running out of tax revenue is like fearing you're running out of water in the hot tub just because you've turned the pump on.
An operating system is a collection of things that don’t fit into a language. There shouldn’t be one.

I feel like the title is a bit misleading - the article only mentions V8 once, and is actually about a (still interesting) new VM solution for ESP32s (and potentially others) that provides a more ergonomic development environment and simplifies things like having multiple programs running on the same MCU, OTA software update/install, and pseudo-isolating memory between programs. Easy/low-risk OTA updates in particular seems like it could be pretty killer to me - I know there are ways of doing it today, but the caveats are significant.
I suppose that Oxford and Cambridge might be a poor example since I went to Warwick, still a top-5 uni (depending on who you ask ;-) and found the people there to be very welcoming to me, as someone also from a London Comp and a working class family. I was treated as an equal, although I was also 2 years older than most others so that gained me some respect.

There is a deeper issue for sure, which is related to the relevance of University education in many sectors. Medical, legal, humanities probably still belong there since there is a large breadth of knowledge as well as many years of precedence to learn.

For engineering, most people would probably be better off learning on the job, perhaps with day release to college. I found my Electrical Engineering degree far inferior to my college-level Engineering training and more suitable for those who plan to enter research rather than most of us who just wanted a good job.

Oh it’s not meant to be exact :) just sort of a way to think about applications as a big numbers game.
I'm also thinking that it will become one of those catch-22 problems for recent immigrants, who need a bunch of papers to settle, but also need to settle to get those papers.

For example, the German government assumes that every resident has a fixed, official, registered address. However for various reasons, many people can't register their address. They might for instance live in an illegal sublet. Since they can't register, they can't get a tax ID, health insurance or a bank account, which in turn make it hard to get an apartment that lets them register.

Lawmakers often forget that millions of people aren't born into the system, and do not always fill certain preconditions like the native population.
From the title I would have expected this to be an article on V8, however there is barely any mention of it besides the title and the author saying he worked on it in the past. Instead, it seems to be an advertisement for a new language / VM, which makes it feel like a bait and switch. (even through the content itself is interesting)
I moved from Sinclair/Amstrad CPC games development onto the Gameboy. Initially the lack of EXX and IX/IY proved to be a bit of a pain. It's also missing the LDI(R)/LDD(R) opcodes. However, I dimly remember using its LD A, (FF00+...) instructions to access a block of RAM at the top of the memory map above the I/O registers to store variables, in much the same way that I'd use zero page on a 6502. So not quite as restrictive as it looks.

The "comp.windows.news" newsgroup about the NeWS window system was cursed with spam and offtopic posts, because so many people confused it with "news" about Microsoft Windows. Maybe if Usenet group names weren't required to be lower case, it could have been comp.windows.NeWS, and there would have been less confusion and spam.

This call for deletion describes its history of confusion and moderation:

https://groups.google.com/g/comp.windows.news/c/PV3grfO5Ysg

RATIONALE: remove comp.windows.news

The last approved article was in March 2000. Sun Microsystems
announced the end of life for the Network extensible Window System
(NeWS) in the early 1990's.

During the early 1990's, traffic in the then unmoderated
comp.windows.news was fairly light, less than 10 articles per week. In
December 1995, the group was moderated in place in order to exclude
misplaced articles related to "news" about MS-Windows. After the
moderation, fewer than 20 articles were approved to the newsgroup.

Because of its name, conversion to an unmoderated status is not
practical. An unmoderated newsgrooup would be overrun by MS-Windows
traffic (see comp.windows.misc).

HISTORY:

The unmoderated newsgroup comp.windows.news was created in April 1987,
soon after the Great Renaming. comp.windows.misc and comp.windows.x
are of similar vintage.

The newsgroup comp.windows.ms was created in November 1988 for
discussion of early versions of MS-Windows. Because of continued off
topic posting to the other newsgroups in the comp.windows.* hierarchy,
comp.windows.ms was re-organized into comp.os.ms-windows.* in 1992.

Despite creation of an entire hierarchy dedicated to MS-Windows,
off-topic posting continued in the comp.windows.* hierarchy. The
newsgroup comp.windows.news had the additional burden of a name that
suggested it was for "news" about (MS)-Windows, rather than being
about the NeWS.

In December 1995, comp.windows.news was converted to a moderated group
in order to exclude off-topic discussion, as well as "debate" about
the group name.

Over the next 5 years less than 20 articles were approved. The last
approval was in March 2000.
"Watching the English" by Kate Fox [0] was a revelation.

I grew up in the UK, and agreed with every word. Especially the bit about social contact and drinking. When travelling in other cultures, I still find it insanely difficult to start a conversation with a stranger unless we're in some situation that I can think of as a pub (and even then it's not easy). The way that random Americans will spark up conversations anywhere is alarming, but I'm envious.

The drinking culture is weird. It's interesting seeing the German drinking culture here in Berlin as a contrast.

I downloaded the court order, it's dated Sept. 2013, and the only reference to comp.lang.tcl is one entry in a list of 51 urls - https://fcku.it/comp.lang.tcl/thread/4177846 - not even accessing it via google groups!
> That's certainly a possibility if safety really is a concern. But I'd wager that the average American anti Covid fanatic (the sort: Masks are fascism! It's like what the nazis did with the jews!) is not really the kind of person travelling the world.

That is incredibly mean-spirited. And exactly what I have come to expect.

I am fully vaccinated: measles, rubella, all the rest.

I will not get the COVID shot.

I never get the annual flu shot, either. I am skeptical of a highly experimental new treatment for a disease that isn't all that lethal.

My body, my choice. If I die, that's my problem.

You go ahead and get the shot. Your body, your choice. If you "trust the science", it'll give you immunity, and you don't need to worry about me at all.

My attitude is mainstream. You just never listen to it, because you'd probably prefer that CNN or the NYT "interpret" it for you.
Just so we are clear: this paper does not show that mouth guards have similar efficacy to cpap. It shows that mouth guards have a significant, non-zero efficacy that is worth pursuing for patients that don’t tolerate cpap. It’s still way less effective than cpap.

> If you were to ask the Chinese Communist Party, whether or not they "turned away" from Communism, I think the answer would be a hard "NO".

Not really. The answer would be "communism with Chinese characteristics". The nuance is in the "Chinese characteristics" part. Whatever that means, but definitely not communism. China or CCP is communism in name only.

So if the French population switched to electric, we would need 38m x 800W = 30 gigawatts. We have 58 nuclear cores of ~1GW each as a comparison (80% of our energy) - with the upside that nuclear plants produce by night as much as by day, which causes a lot of issues, therefore 800W between 10pm and 6am might allow a much more efficient (and ecological) use of our nuclear energy.

JBS cyberattack disrupts Australian meat production
I went to Oxford and felt much like you.

I was totally underwhelmed by the quality of the kids. I'd won a math contest with a couple of Polish kids in my team the summer before, and I thought my new classmates would be much the same: engaged, sharp. Instead I got a couple of fellows who seemed to be there for the drinking. It was quite deflating.

I did eventually round up a number of people with a better attitude, mostly from international circles. It's not like we were teetotal, just the balance of work and play seemed to fit an elite university better. Luckily I managed to forge a group of friends across colleges.

I also started to see there was no logic to who got in. It seemed to be purely a confidence game, especially for the arts subjects. I mean sure, they were probably better academically than your average person, but above some low bar it seems to be a lottery. I started meeting a lot of people who spoke confidently about things, but their confidence did not seem to be grounded in reality. There were so many of these people it gave away the game, I'm not sure I'd have noticed if I hadn't seen this concentration of BSers as a young man.

What was really missing was a love of learning. It's as if the kids had spent years gaming exams under high parental pressure, and now they were at uni as long they could get out with an OK grade they wanted to relax and explore the social world.

The tutorial system was wasted on some of my classmates. It's cringeworthy to be in a lesson with either 2 or 3 students, and one or two of the other kids hasn't done work. I also got proper sparring partners from outside my college, so I did ok eventually.
