Feel free to have that "productive conversation" by yourself.
I also recommend Fitbod. Excellent tracking and use of watch and workout plans generated for you but plenty of options to customize to get rid of exercises you can’t do it want to avoid. I love that it generates the workout for you and then forces you to max out on a few exercises to calculate your max strength which can be used for suggested weights in further exercises. Can have multiple gym setups with excluded exercises (in case you have a regular gym but also use something much more limited like home.)

As mentioned the videos are great and explanations clear.

What do you mean by that, why shouldn't they include it?

I use HTTPS. That said, if someone doesn't want to do it - also a valid choice. The arguments have been made (content manipulation, snooping ...) but if I as a site owner don't care about someone elses shitty ISP, then I can use HTTP only.
> Why is the EU not an economic and military superpower?

Best I can tell, mix of apathy, resentment towards people who work hard, and generally smaller ambition and perspective. We have the same problem in the UK so it's not just the EU.
Some people release something as FOSS but don't understand what that means. We had a developer we worked with at PortableApps.com release his software under a FOSS license. He requested we package it portably in our format and release it. His users and ours were happy.

Fast forward 3 years and a bug impacted a user's data in the portable package. The developer became increasingly irate even after it was fixed and demanded we stop publishing it. To avoid confusion, I even renamed the portable package to a new app name, forking it. That made him even more angry and he started publicly claiming we were "stealing" his work, despite following the license, maintaining his copyrights, and directing users to donate to his donation page to support development. He put up banners on his website and documentation pages about the "theft". As his emails to me went downhill, I got the feeling he might poison the code itself upstream to mess with the fork. I didn't want to deal with that just for one small app, so I abandoned it.

So, yes, this does happen. And some people thing "because I said so" is a valid position.
I don't know that you should absolutely not have an opinion without understanding the other side, but if you don't spend at least a little bit of time understanding what motivates people to believe in conspiracy theories you will struggle to understand over half the population of the US.

Most of the main tenets of QAnon are recycled conspiracy theories that predate Q, which is why the "X% of people believe in QAnon" headlines that have been going around recently are so misleading.

Epistemic forensics is necessary for an awful lot of things people believe (true or false) given that for many things personal experience is insufficient to uncover the truth, and for any single truth, only a tiny fraction of the population is making direct observations at scale.
You're saying that you think swing voters were probably more influenced by harebrained conspiracy theories pushed by meth addled Trump supporters than... the truth?

That's some hubris.
Popularity of the no-execute NX bit significantly postdates Unix. As I recall, Microsoft only started flipping it on by default for the 64-bit Windows NT kernel, since so many preexisting 32-bit applications relied on self-modifying code.

I would strongly advise against anyone cooking inside their tent (fire risk, animal magnet, carbon monoxide poisoning—all elaborated on here: https://sectionhiker.com/how-to-safely-cook-in-a-tent/). Tents are usually very flammable—especially the mesh bug netting, which melts almost instantly even from the indirect heat of a lighter held a few feet away.

If you have to in an emergency, then at least cook in the vestibule area (i.e. outside and away from the tent material) with lots of ventilation.

PS: I think it is essential to embark on any camping/backpacking trip with a mindset of adaptation/sacrifice. You have to be willing to make conservative or uncomfortable decisions in the name of risk management (e.g. trudging through a stream and getting your shoes wet vs. attempting a dry crossing on a precarious log, or resisting the warm noodle cravings during a rainstorm). Besides, it makes the experience of returning to civilization that much more exhilarating.

For distribution repacks specifically, there’s the old device of providing a configuration-time option to change the web and email addresses in the documentation (e.g. GCC does this), but I’m not sure if this will work when Google results for the error message will still point you to the upstream. There’s also the bug report checklist with “I have verified I am running the last development version”, but that comes with its own limitations.
My only complaint about the gravel trend is that at the entry (and mid) level they are often using pretty crappy disc brakes when rim brakes would have been a better choice in 90% of cases. When they are hydraulic, they are a dream to use, but with a cable you really lose the brake feel.
France has 4 companies in the top 100. All of them in the luxury fashion/beauty products: LVMH, L'Oreal, Hermes and Dior.

Three of them were created before WW1 (that's a one) and Dior in 1946. And all of them thrive because of the lifestyle image associated to the "France" brand since then.
This reminds me of what Peter Thiel wrote about Europe in Zero to One. Europe was in the indefinite pessimism block, the world is going to crap and they don’t think they can do nothing about it.

Here’s the larger paragraph from Zero to One.

> Indefinite Pessimism Every culture has a myth of decline from some golden age, and almost all peoples throughout history have been pessimists. Even today pessimism still dominates huge parts of the world. An indefinite pessimist looks out onto a bleak future, but he has no idea what to do about it. This describes Europe since the early 1970s, when the continent succumbed to undirected bureaucratic drift. Today the whole Eurozone is in slow-motion crisis, and nobody is in charge. The European Central Bank doesn’t stand for anything but improvisation: the U.S. Treasury prints “In God We Trust” on the dollar; the ECB might as well print “Kick the Can Down the Road” on the euro. Europeans just react to events as they happen and hope things don’t get worse. The indefinite pessimist can’t know whether the inevitable decline will be fast or slow, catastrophic or gradual. All he can do is wait for it to happen, so he might as well eat, drink, and be merry in the meantime: hence Europe’s famous vacation mania.

I'm currently living in Europe. I wonder how this affects people who are based in Europe and other continents. Can one work remotely for a Bay area company in a different continent, and receive a salary that is at the level of Bay area salary?
In EU, you don't hand over ID/passport like credit card in US. You show it while keeping it in your hand. Second party can verify your age, while being unable to copy stuff like machine readable zone.
The EU is not a nation, but a supranational entity that binds countries that have similar goals and values. It's an amazing achievement for a continent that has seen millennia of internal war.

Economically, the EU is very powerful and influential. It exerts influence through trade agreements, standards and sanctions. Individual member states have capable nuclear arsenals and are actively engaged in missions around the world.
You want to use China as an example? Sure!

China has the fastest growing and largest middle class (or middle income earners) in the world. They prove exactly the point I’m making. There will come a point in time where there are less people (%) living in poverty in China than in the US if you follow the current trend lines.

Also you are only kind of right with “you pay for healthcare”. It’s heavily subsidised… compared with the US.
For your standard street-car tyres ... mostly, modulo variations in surface, rain, snow, mud, etc. On reasonably fresh dry clean tarmac though, yes.

For racing tyres ... you're getting into a differet set of circumstances and uncomfortably far from my knowledge and experience, though my understanding is that the rubbers are specifically engineered to be sticky, more so at high temperatures (hence why drag racers spin out, it warms the tyres). That's no longer the domain of static friction.

There's also the matter of thermal management, where tyres at high speeds generate a lot of heat. How much size affects and/or is determined by this, I don't know. I am aware that street-tyre speed ratings are based on thermal properties, however.

Knobby tyres are most effective on non-uniform surfaces: dirt/rock and mod most notably.
Slick tires, by which I mean minimal treat pattern, do exist in 42mm or even wider widths.

I don't think the person you are replying to had a good plan, but solar definitely could offset the energy consumed by cars. The average car will only consume ~12KWh per day. Even a small 3-4KW system can do that.

Yes, its an oversimplification, but in a world where the problem is all the electric cars, you also have rolling battery buffers available whenever you want them.

We already use hot water heaters and air conditioners in a similar way. Peak shaving with people's home charging setups wouldn't be hard to add.

Agree. And we’ve had those tools available for decades. These new low-code/no-code tools have exactly the same potential user base and exactly the same limitations. No new or even interesting problem is getting solved, just a fresh coat of paint. Or reinventing the flat tire, as Alan Kay put it.

The human body is not perfectly elastic, as it is made out of meat. When the bike goes up and down, it makes the meat jiggle or flap which dissipates energy in the flesh as heat. So taking the hit at the tire which is much more elastic instead of in the heavily damped rider is more efficient.

Like, I see ‘common event loop’ here and don’t OSs (and hardware) past a certain size generally provide interrupt handling, threading, memory management and so forth? These are all highly general mechanisms that have evolved to meet concurrent execution models… because of the generality, a lot of relevant things remain at a lower level of abstraction than languages often expose.

What I wonder about is what happens when we lift runtime policy decisions into the type system, in a way that allows something more performant - I think I have a sense of what this pans out like and I just am skeptical than for every case (for many, many cases, it seems like a great idea!) that this approach leads to the best implementation. It reframes a lot of the inherent difficulties, I’m not sure it helps abstract over them.
While I'm inclined to chime in on Europe's lack of competitiveness there are some factors being glossed over in favor of a catchy headline here:

a) market cap just captures where the financial markets see/saw most hope for gains

b) which is obviously the tech-sector (2 non-tech companies in the top-10, four out of the top-15 if we don't count Visa as one)

c) the pandemic has likely catapulted a lot of pharmaceutical companies into the top-50

In other words: There's either room for disruption here (meaning European companies/other sectors are undervalued) or even a pandemic with never-seen global policy responses, did not manage to break the dominance of the tech-sector.

Is knowing who the customer is with more certainty really useful though for targeting beyond just having their info they provide on sign up?
Exactly. It was a high dollar construction project. If anything it was safer than a mundane bottom dollar "cut whatever corners we need to be the lowest bidder" project. Everything was just that much more dangerous then.
If you have the case, if A then do B and C. You can commit to a topic and let B and C be triggered separately. This does not solve cases like storing to a db and then send a db-updated event.
Great. Now they don't know when to stop twisting your arm.

You did not defeat that persons argument. I do think that you just repeated your earlier absolutist views and demonstrated nothing further. You did not substantively address the issues raised by merely dismissing them. I’m not the original party here, so I don’t really care that much, but your debate style leaves actual debate to be desired, being th equivalent of “nope because I said so, so there” which doesn’t really address anything, IMO

What you said makes no sense. Think about it. How can it possibly be that increasing labour market competition results in worse working conditions?
No, the opposite is true. FAANG and FAANG wannbes outbid other employers by offering both better pay and better working conditions.
And as for the rest of the market, here in Germany the smaller employers have the worse reputation. You really don't want to be employed in some small family business where the employer can do whatever they please without oversight. Bigger employers tend to be more keen to adhere to employment laws.
Yes laws exists, but fighting for your rights is costly and in my experience, smaller employers are bigger bullies and will try to see what they can get away with much more than bigger employers, who act professionally for the most part.

> Christmas's traditions are themselves derived from pagan solstice celebrations

Well... [0]

> Wouldn't that make it a pagan institution by your reasoning?

Even when, say, a previously pagan practice is incorporated into Christianity, it is reinterpreted and given a new meaning, though probably in some way related to the original _by analogy_. This could be done to help the new converts better relate to the new faith and to preserve as much of the good in the previous culture as possible (in general, Catholicism gladly takes in whatever good and reconcilable there is in any culture[1]). In agreement with what you say, this does not make Christianity pagan.

Whether this is the same as the secularizing or commercializing or "consumerizing" of Christmas, I don't know. Maybe you could argue that this lumpenreligions are doing something analogous to what I just described, but this seems like a flaky comparison. Besides, secularism is a Christian heresy, so it's more like a heretical version of Christmas that's being practiced. The very idea of "secularism" is incomprehensible outside of Christianity (e.g., in Islam there is only Islam and the world of the infidels to be conquered and brought under the rule of Allah; the mosque is not an institution like the Church, just a building for prayer and thus no distinction, much less separation, between Church and State is thinkable).
