I'm sorry I still barely understand what's going on here. Too many unfamiliar terms. Should note I don't have a CS nor math background, just basic programming.

Here's my best understanding so far:

A functor is a function that takes in a list of things and like a regular function, outputs a list of modified things...

So how is this different from a function?

Comments like this one are the gears that turn to prevent peace. As with many conflicts, both sides do things that are incompatible with peace, and will not give them up because they see what the other side does. The answer is not to blame one side for reacting to the other.

It's not a novel situation at all. There are well-established, well-studied ways to build trust and peace.
A somewhat counterpoint to the first example in the article:

I created a Reddit account (11 years ago) without an email address and forgot the password.

Now there is no way to reset the password and recover the account.

I never bothered to create a new account so I just stopped using Reddit in most cases.
The no termites thing is a big deal. I would not build with wood in the jungles of Panama. At best some solid wood beams, hardwood, properly treated. For aesthetics.

Termites are a constant battle for my parents there in their concrete home. I can't imagine the carnage with a wood frame home.
With all the hate here, where's the web-only, WASM zoom/live/meet killer?

Although it wouldn't be easy, it doesn't seem that hard either! It almost feels like a summer project for interns could do a better job than the current batch of video conferencing services at the moment.

Requirements:
- No install, from the web
- No login
- There is no 3rd requirement

Is that actually hard to build? What am I missing?
If you don't have the right to your own body, then there aren't rights. It's the axiom.

I'm in favor of drug use (at least almost all), tattoos, body modifications, trying experimental medicine, everything that affects your body. I can see drawing the line at "doing this thing could become a contagion so you can only do it in BSL-4 isolation". But it's your body, your life, you want to spend it stoned or a voluntary amputee or whatever so long as don't take from me, then you should be free to do so.

At least you could recover by simply typing a login password. A similar screwup on a Windows box might require you to resort to BitLocker recovery keys, which add a fair bit of complexity and some users might not have these at all.
I think we should differentiate a TPM backed cookie from, say, a tracking cookie. It isn't like an arbitrary website can track you with the TPM. TPMs aren't exposed to the web by any browser, at least to my knowledge - except through intermediary protocols provided by something like webauthn or an extension (Extended Verification, for example).

Again, maybe someone more knowledgeable can explain more - I'm a consumer of TPMs, and I understand the concept, but I'm no expert.

I can see that there are manufacturers selling log houses certified for cat-5 (245 mph) hurricanes.
I do of course understand that any construction will be blown away at some point, I just cant picture it. The way the logs lock each other at the intersections and how the structure still is sound with no roof should help quite a bit.
> There's no friction in starting something you love to do.

That may be true for you; it's not true for everyone. Nobody in this thread who thinks this app might be useful has mentioned people they need speak to "out of duty". I feel like you are projecting how you operate on to everyone else and not actually listening to what they are saying.

I'm sorry you have frequently experienced people that are clearly bored when talking to you. This is not something I have experienced much at all. What I have experienced is friends who lead busy lives and just don't get around to it because they have 10 other things on the docket. When eventually we do get around to talking (usually because of some trigger on either end), the conversations are enjoyable and we are glad to have them. But the idea that someone isn't "important" enough just because you're not consciously thinking about them rather than the many other important responsibilities in your life is one I find silly. We are busy people with a lot of things on our mind. At the same time, some people (clearly) would like a slightly more consistent system that causes them to talk to their friends than a random trigger on social media or what have you.

>Corporates usually replace hardware every 3-4 years don't they?

Yes and no. 3-4 years from when the person got it maybe, which is usually not the manufacture date. And, it's one of those budget items that tends to get pushed out when there's a financial crisis, like now for many Covid affected businesses. I work for a F500, and my laptop was made in 2018, and is a 6th gen Intel.
I'm touched that you cared enough to reply to my comment and it is nice that it's separate from the game, that's definitely an improvement over the status quo for AAA closed source video games. I don't mean anything against you personally and am sure you and your team are wonderful and intelligent people but:

1) popularity alone does not justify misbehavior (especially distributing what are essentially rootkits.)

2) mature communities can function without cheating. I often play a game called Xonotic which has no such functionality and have yet to meet someone cheating at it.

3) I would always elect 100% of the time to abandon any game or server before running any kind of software like this.
Thank you so much for this. I've been noodling building something like this for a while but never had the time. Already installed and set up my mom. <3

One question: for the days of the week icons, you have

Great that it can't be removed, but can it be used by the malware on the system to perform the task on behalf of the user? In the days of always connected computers just remotely controlling the SW on the HW itself is enough to do pretty much all the interesting things you could do (as a criminal) if you were in physical possession of the computer itself.

So Microsoft has chosen to go down the Windows Vista route again. People are notoriously reluctant to update Windows, and if they really want to start this early with FUD about their next OS, it's very likely it's going to be rejected by the masses like Vista and 8. 10 took over 7 only because it was actually what people asked for, worked well and it worked like people expect Windows to behave.

Lots of people keep computers for years now, and it's not that uncommon to see people still holding on 6 or 7 years old machines. Most people don't really need computers that much now that smartphones are ubiquitous, and even an old computer can run a browser or a word processor just fine.

Microsoft still can't realize they are not Apple. People won't just buy a new computer just to run Windows 11. That's not how it works, Microsoft still hasn't really accepted they don't have neither the mindshare nor the appeal for doing moves like this. I thought they had learnt from their mistakes after the Vista/8/Kinect debacle, but I guess they just cannot.

I think wait and see. That kind of CPU req published now sorta makes sense for OEMs, but for computers to upgrade, just WTF. Does MS really want a split install base to mostly Win 10 machines and a just a few 11? And BTW there is this "little" shortage and high demand that is supposed to continue for years; and Skylake or even before are (lets say at least for core ones: more than) perfectly capable of running Win 11.

So a hard cut-off at Intel 8th gen and Ryzen 2nd gen really makes no strategic sense whatsoever. I have no doubt MS employs plenty of clueless people, but maybe not going that far to insanity-land.

I mean I was starting to consider switching to a Mac, undecided still, but if MS persist this will really be a no-brainer.
There's a toggle that stops it from sending messages.
It looked interesting to me, but their disnhonesty just threw me back:

> Not a subscription—never expires

> Includes 1 year of free version upgrades

Are you telling me that a third-party slack client will keep working forever without updates? The "not a subscription" message here is effectively moot: this thing will stop working and you will need to pay for "another year of version upgrades".
It's an APU, so if it doesn't work with AMDGPU in the Linux kernel that will be pretty bad.

At least in Florida, modern building codes of the past couple decades requires excellent insulation. The reason for so many houses being under-insulated (a separate issue from uninsulated) is because most houses are older. For the very reason you started with, houses last for many decades.

It also matters how one determines under-insulated. Energy here is cheap; we use big trucks as commuter cars. Using half our electricity for heating and cooling didn't matter until CO² usage became important; now it's huge.
Neat, there's your business idea :)

Just guessing: smaller and broken families, more time behind screens, less male-only and female-only spaces, more mobility.

Worse for males because women are more social-oriented.
Perhaps I can correct some misconceptions. I know mostly about the UK rather than central Europe.

1) New houses in the UK are very well insulated indeed. Walls are commonly of cavity construction with 'lightweight' thermal blocks or timber on the inside skin, and insulation in the cavity. We also indsulate the floors and roofs. Our building code is pretty strict about insulation and I believe that is also true in Germany for instance.

2) We use brick on the outside because the UK climate makes external wood rot very quickly in normal circumstances. Cedar cladding can work if left to 'silver', but you have little chance of keeping paint on anything. Exterior woodwork also has to be treated with fire retardant if used as cladding. Roof coverings are normally clay tiles or slate.

There are buildings in my town that are 600+ years old, built out of oak framing with wattle and daub infills...but this is a very expensive way to build.
I hate it when people share page numbers like that with me, because many sites have things that are either "ranked" somehow, or in reverse-chronological order, which means that the contents of page 3 are constantly changing.
I should edit that- I meant that even with a poorly fitted window or 50+ mile winds, the closed cell nature of the concrete doesn't let air circulate through it, while fiberglass does.

Such is, my point was that foam boards and concrete are compared to blown / rolled fiberglass, even though the fiberglass has more failure modes for insulating. A poorly fitted window will seriously compromise the R value of the surrounding fiberglass.

As for the carbon footprint of cement, solid is pretty high, foam not so much. I don't know about commercial stuff, but most DIY'ers seem to use a little under 100 lbs portland cement to make a 55 gallon barrel's worth once the foam is mixed in. Rough math puts a 55 gallon barrel of concrete at about 1000 pounds.

Edit: I just realized that 10% seems low, so what I saw may have used a 55 gallon barrel but not completely filled it. In any case, depending on the structural integrity that you need, the weight reduction (and therefore carbon footprint from curing) is significantly reduced.

I believe that app is currently checking the cpu against the list of compatability for OEMs which tends to be more strict though. So there's a chance an older cpu might work that the app says will not.
Sure. Inertia. Understood.

u/elbasti is referring to the now active positive feedback loops as separate additional sources GHG and warming.

Apologies if that's the distinction you were trying to make.
> n individual passionately caring about all of those injustices at once will end up spamming social media with advocacy because there is not enough time to pick any one to do something with greater impact

One solution, a well-established one, is to focus on universal human rights. The rising tide will lift all boats.

Also, caring does not necessarily mean action. I do have limited time, but I've heard the above used as an excuse for most of my life, and used to subscribe to it. I've learned that while people are talking about whether and how and should you care, you can just do something. It's that easy.

If you can't boot Windows 11 without having secure boot turned on, I guess I'll have to skip this Windows version for the first time in decades. I've always been an early adopter for new Windows versions, but I really can't be bothered with signing my damn Linux kernels just to boot Windows every once in a while.

As a dev who works with telemetry in my day job I HATE when "better metrics" gets in the way of a feature or product improving.

(I also hate the pervasiveness of identifiable tracking but that's a whole different rant.)

You don't need to perfectly A:B test your two different offerings if that means preventing users from using the product in a way that best suits them. Stop putting shit behind "read more" buttons just because you want to see if people are actually reading your articles. Stop breaking things into multiple screens just so you can track your damn funnels. Better MAU _tracking_ (not even better MAU) does nothing for user experience and pursuing that at the expense of everything else is just plain foolish.
It's funny the divide between this app, but I'll give you my POV. I'm a bit of a spaz and about one of the most forgetful people you'll ever meet. I go out of my way to ask someone their name and I'll literally forget it within a minute. It's not that I intend to. I'm someone with a single-track mind that tends to really focus only on one thing.

I'm in awe of my fiance who can hold a conversation while remembering that we have to feed the meter before it expires and also remember to ask the waiter for more napkins.

I absolutely love my mom, brothers and sisters, dad, etc, but I just can't remember to do so and I've automated my life with reminders that vibrate my phone so I'll give my mom or dad a call every other day.

I don't think I'm a bad person or emotionally evil, I'm just not wired for internal reminders to do so. I'm genuinely pumped for this app.
The memory bandwidth is for the benefit of the GPU, not the CPU.
That's absolutely my suspicion, too. Just look at all this hype. The smaller part of the reason is breaking compatibility with some hardware.

I use SKEDit to achieve this functionality today on my android phone. It works with phone calls, sms, whatsapp and emails. It's really cool when it activates - it literally will pull downthe search bar, type in 'whatsapp' to select the app, launch the app, search for the contact I told it to message, tap on them to message them, and type in the message I had automated - and you can just watch and follow along as it does all this. V awesome if you have social anxiety, a poor memory, a busy schedule, or all of the above.

Don’t know how old you are, but I’m in my late 20s.

My social circle grew a lot bigger when I first moved out, tho I lost touch with many high school “friends”. I moved places again in my early 20s and then it kept shrinking - more adult responsibilities, less friends.

I recently moved countries and my circle now consists of a handful of people I’ve been friends with 10-15+ Years, funnily most of these I’ve met online. We’re all part of the same group mostly, everyone with their responsibilities; wives, jobs, etc.

I’d say that’s pretty normal and expected

> Unfortunately, while it’s definitely possible to insulate wood houses, it’s often not done [1].

"Ninety Percent of U.S. Homes Are Under Insulated"

Yes, because Ninety Percent of U.S. Homes Were Built With Old(er) Building Codes.

> Yes, European homes are also underinsulated, but bricks provide better insulation per default.

A lot of Europe is a lot more temperate than the US and Canada, so it didn't make much of a difference. I'm in Toronto, Canada, and we regularly get -15C winter weather as well as >30C (>80% RH) summer days too. To stay comfortable you really need heating and cooling. Many buildings in the EU don't have cooling (which has caused all sorts of problems during heat waves).

The US has eight climate zones (AK not shown):

And while a lot of the construction techniques would be the same regardless of location (e.g., air tightness), other things would not (insulation, HVAC equipment).

Yeah, I guess if you just send them this specific genome for smallpox DNA[0] they might tell you to get lost. What I'm saying is that anyone who was awful like that would probably just go get a different disease in person. Historically people have managed that fine without having to learn version control. I mean, we have treatments for smallpox and a vaccine. My point being is that it's not useful to say "oh, it's too technical and I'm sure the DNA providers have some checks in place." I have never seen a god damned thing about what checks they are doing, and I'm nearly certain they are not that well regulated. I for sure know that there isn't a public accountability portal for these companies.

What makes me feel alright is that I think to do some damage is not a technical or money issue but an issue with taking a dive on the closest thing we have to the meaning of life and I'd hope that that study would be the sort of thing that keeps someone from being the worst kind of monster. I mean, we have a ton of tools out there to be awful, why this?

I guess what I'm saying is that to look at this set of problems and say "someone else probably has it handled" or assume anything we know is even slightly predictive of the future is silly. I think it's important for those that care to get an understanding of biology as we are now at an unprecedented point in existence where there's just not a way to feel too comfortable. Added benefit, the more people that get that understanding the closer we might get to yeast that eats plastic or mushrooms that make insulin.
