https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Wall_of_China:

The Great Wall of China (traditional Chinese: 萬里長城; simplified Chinese: 万里长城; pinyin: Wànlǐ Chángchéng) is a series of fortifications that were built across the historical northern borders of ancient Chinese states and Imperial China as protection against various nomadic groups from the Eurasian Steppe

> the debt book taught me more about life and society than any other book i’ve read.

Same for me. I'm not well read in that topic so I can't compare Debt book with anything else as such. The sheer expanse of time period it covers and various topics it touches is very impressive indeed.

FWIW I'm half way through reading "The Nature of Money"[1] which was published well before The Debt and I'm tempted to think that the Debt book is significantly influenced by the former.

We will never know but I believe this current conflict was provoked by Israel with heavy police presence outside the mosque in Jerusalem.

For what it is worth I have visited Israel and the West Bank, and my sympathies are with Israel as the only democracy in the region.

That does not mean I cannot criticize when it acts wrongly. Sure the whole conflict is incredibly difficult with no easy solutions, but some people want to use it to stay in power.

Of course Hamas is not better, but that is not the expectation for Israel.
Do you engage all the BS at work, or do you let it burn itself? Whatever arguments you have need time to become more constructive, neutral and obvious. Arguments back and forth is fruitless and depleting.
I originally wrote this to replace the experience of opening an app and being told by Sparkle or similar that it's out of date. Now I think it's increasingly relevant as we can't copy the Applications folder over from Intel to Arm. Instead, I can make a brewfile and remake my setup with that as a massive automated step.

This looks through the apps you have, and if any of them are in Homebrew/cask or Apple's App Store it will tell you (and if asked, install from cask). This means in the future you can more easily update by looking at your homebrew outdated, like you would for ffmpeg or other cli programs.

This is the first version I'm sharing. I'd appreciate people telling me what sold them on it, what would make a better post.
Js was born like a shitty php-like language.

But matured and grew over most of it’s mistakes and problems.

Without typings it’s still not very scalable, but TypeScript elegantly fixed this issue.

If people hate it it’s their problem, not the language.
Either they don’t really know it or they don’t really understand its area of applicability.

I mean competition between the gender that can have 100+ children with a 5-minute time investment (men) for the gender that can have at most 10 children with a 9-month time investment (women).

From the genetic perspective of a male, a female's ability to reproduce is a scarce, excludable resource that they need for their genetic fitness and other men stand as roadblocks to obtaining that resource. That makes violence and conflict a valid way to improve the competitive odds of male A over male B.

In a future where gestation occurs outside of the womb in some bioengineered setup, that genetic pressure to compete between men will be lessened, which will be a force for peace.

I don't mean to talk about groups of people as resources, but for this topic in particular, since we're talking from the perspective of unconscious genes, I think it offers the most clarity.
George Steiner discussed this in «The Secular Messiahs» (part of «Nostalgia for the Absolute»):

> [They]...are not only attempts to fill the emptiness left by the decay of Christian theology and Christian dogma. They are themselves a kind of substitute theology. They are systems of belief and argument which may be savagely antireligious (...) but whose structure, whose aspirations, whose claims on the believer, are profoundly religious in strategy and in effect.

> (...) Those great gestures of imagination, which have tried to replace religion in the West, and Christianity in particular, are very much like the churches, like the theology, they want to replace.

> The convinced Marxist, the practising psychoanalyst, the structural anthropologist, will be outraged at the thought that his beliefs, that his analyses of the human situation, are mythologies and allegoric constructs directly derivative from the religious world-image which he has sought to replace. He will be furious at that idea. And his rage has its justification.
Yeah. I'm always amazed by individuals that seem to accomplish so much and it looks so effortless. Like, let's say Donald Knuth.

I just feel that I do not have his direction, purpose and motivation and I have no idea how to get there.

He has concrete goals (like revisiting TeX every 7 years to fix bugs, writing a book during a sabbatical, reading mail X times per year) and just fulfills them.

I have a weird feeling that I'll probably reach this kind of state when I'm very old and will wonder why I wasn't able to see and live the life that way before.

My life feels directionless, I'm accomplishing things but I just don't know how to reach these zen levels of direction, purpose and motivation.

At the same time I wonder why would it be necessary for my life to go in that direction? Why am I just not content with the way things are and start focusing on that, instead of always looking for something "greater"?

read the papers I linked and you'll realize that these sites have challenges with getting people vaccinated due to lack of trust in government and healthcare in general

it's been 3 months since that clinic and many people here are still hesitant to get vaccinated

these issues remain because few people understand how deep distrust runs especially in Oakland where people have seen the massive destruction caused by government agencies
The point you are trying to make is that people are irrational, therefore:

I used to read back when I was in college, studying electrical engineering. Someone thought it was an engineering book but the metaphor applies. You can know ohm's law and stuff but it's not enough to build giant robots.

I think the "laws" laid out in the book are more accurate than most, but using it for engineering isn't that simple. You can use it to defuse tension with an egoistic manager or an office bully, but it's not enough to become VP of Google.
Jews and Israel should have no connection. Attacking Jews for what Israel does is just incredibly wrong.

Let’s be very clear, any criticisms of Israels actions should not apply to Jews as a race, people or religion and even more so not be used as an excuse to harm or treat any single Jewish person negatively.
Of course there needs to be consequences for thieves but that doesn't absolve people (particularly in critical infrastructure) from the responsibility to implement reasonable protections.

If everyone keeps their doors unlocked in town and hundreds of burglaries occur as a result, the police should do something about it, but they may not be staffed to go after everyone. At some point they're going to be telling people to lock their houses please.

"Password practice" is thankfully becoming less and less relevant as hardware security tokens become more widespread, affordable and reliable. IMO there's zero excuse for a critical infrastructure operator not to use 2FA at this point. Whatever the password policy is, people (consumers too) should really not use passwords as their last line of defense.
> BLM workshop

I live in Eastern-European, one ocean away from the States, I'm curious about these workshops, do they really happen as often as people say they happen? (let's say once a month or so, which I would consider "often" for this type of meetings).

I'm asking because they do look to me like pretty much resembling the communist party indoctrinations work-place meetings my dad had to attend in the 1980s (my dad's workplace was in the business of building stuff inside a steel mill factory, so nothing intrinsically political about it), those communist party meetings seemed to be taken seriously by absolutely no-one and were seen just as a huge loss of one's time.
Lots of hosting companies use vcenter for managing their VMs, and if you expose vcenter to your customers, you have a very convenient way to have the powercycle VMs, open consoles and stuff like that.

And if you expose it to your customers, you either have to force them to use a VPN (and support it for even their dumbest users), or you expose it on the Internet.

Not great security wise, but the economics do push you into that direction.

I find it weird that any person 'hodls' any crypto. I pick the rallies (like the one last night) and ride them, then sell. I cannot, besides stress, understand why anyone would hold crypto currencies at this point. It is too young and Wild West. That's why riding waves is easy and if you trade half decent you can make fortunes. But it can be gone tomorrow; for instance if Tether gets called on it's bluff.
Yeah it does penetrate the most, so you do see some communications utilizing visible light comms. But the bitrate is bad and gets worse very quickly as you go deeper. Like, sunlight will penetrate the water a lot especially since there's so much of it coming down broad spectrum, but shoot a laser into seawater and you'll find the beam dissipates rather quickly.

It's mostly water-to-surface comms that can tolerate being in the very top of the water column that utilize this tech. Unfortunately aligning the transmitter/receivers is a bit tricky -- a lot of research has gone into better ways to send and receive information from air into water.

I guess it makes sense if eyes developed aquatically first, but it doesn't seem that interesting in the sense that most things developed aquatically first. Like even if it didn't develop aquatically, seems like evolution would have found its way on land, where sight is more useful, especially since you can't use things like lateral lines to detect pressure fluctuations (I mean there's terrestrial hearing, but seems like being immersed in a dense medium makes pressure sensing that much more important).
Yes, and for that very reason. Graeber puts armies and advertising in the same category in his Bullshit Jobs book, in fact, which was a lot more interesting a read than I was expecting from the title. IIRC he considers that one of the easier-to-understand categories and doesn't spend a ton of time on it. One side spends, so then the other side has to, now both are about as well off as if neither had increased spending.

Every correct Haskell ’98 or Haskell 2010 implementation (not that a lot of them are still alive) accepts exactly the same set of programs, because that set is described in the Report. Every correct Standard ML implementation (of which there are still a few, surprisingly) with extensions turned off accepts exactly the same set of programs, because that set is described in the Definition.

GHC with its innumerable extensions and impenetrable (if well-defined) typing rules is and was always intended to be a testbed for wild type system ideas; that whatever it accepts became the received superset of standard Haskell (of which it is the only implementation) is in my opinion a failure of the Haskell community and the very thing that turned me away from Haskell after several years.

On the other hand, the only real description of what Mypy accepts is the source code of Mypy, and while many interesting programs that fall into that set also happen to be accepted by Pytype or whatever else, it’s not in any useful sense a bug if some are not. There’s also no practical way to tell if an arbitrary program is accepted except to try throwing it into the typechecker, because there is no human-adapted description of what constitutes being accepted.

None of which is to say that Mypy is not useful. It is useful, tremendously so. But as far as maturity of type systems in Haskell or SML goes, it’s not even in the same league. (So that this is not taken as academic elitism, neither are Scala, OCaml, or Typed Racket.)
My characterization was intentionally facetious for my own amusement, but the core argument remains sound. If working for a company with an ICE contract counts as helping a violent organization, then you should also apply the "silence is violence" doctrine to activists who sign a petition but refuse to quit, yet nobody ever does.

Almost. Tamarians were using references to shared cultural stories. Many, but not all, memes work like that. This meme is of a different kind - it packs emotional payload mostly directly, with only a reference to a simple activity and related concept (popcorn + Internet drama).

Put another way, if you consider a story to be a collection of handles (in programming sense, like a pointer) to concepts and emotions, then Tamarians communicate by speaking handles to stories. That's one level of indirection extra over this meme, which itself is a (simple) story - a collection of handles to concepts and emotions.

That all depends on the congestion control algorithm. Different implementations of TCP can use different algorithms while still being compatible. The same is true of QUIC.

The recently published QUIC standard specifies a tweaked version of TCP NewReno. See https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9002.txt and https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6582 But AFAIU this is not the algorithm Google itself uses for QUIC, nor the one they used for their famous benchmarks showing latency improvements on mobile.

To derive maximum benefit (or even just most of the benefit) of a tailored congestion control algorithm, you'll want to control both sides, keeping them in sync as you iterate improvements and changes. And maintain different flavors for different application environments. Only huge companies like Google and Facebook will be able to do this effectively.
