> All I'm seeking here is how to improve communicating math without having to go through the credentialism of higher education.

Like I've already pointed out: mathematics is perhaps the most "open source" field there is. There's no need to go through the "credentialism" if you don't want to. Again you're just conflating math being hard with it being protected by some imagined wall of credentialism guarded by gatekeepers.
That's a false dichotomy, especially in countries which are planning to open up in spite of the science.

Aside from Long Covid, there's also a danger of adult's not being able to work, as people either self-isolate or are too ill to do their jobs.

Remote won't necessarily fix this - partly because if you're ill at home you're still ill, but also because there are many jobs which need people on-site.

If you get a huge peak at the same time, not only are hospitals overwhelmed - already happening in the UK - but other critical services are also endangered.

Why do you choose to live like this. I am asking because wht you are describing here stuff of my dreams. I even bought a piece of land in rural colorado during the pandemic that I plan to start building in september.
It's a form of bullying meant to "own the libs" through harrassment. Some people love it, and it strengthens and encourages them to see it because it reinforces their tribal narrative. Others hate it, and they'll be further entrenched in their tribal narrative. It's divisive, plain and simple. Score one for polarization and infighting.

It bears mentioning that this is a highly vocal/visible, tiny minority. They serve to poison the well. Folks on the left are inclined to point at this bullshit and call folks on the right idiots; the vast majority of folks on the right are like "I'd never do that."

On the other hand, this small minority is numerous enough that every Prius owner I've known in Texas complains about this. In their frustration, it's easy to see why they'd paint with a broad brush.
Is it derivative work though? I don't think reading GPL code requires me to only write code under the GPL license.

Interesting. Note that mutual intelligibility is not symmetrical. Yes, Icelandic is very similar to ON in writing, but in pronunciation it changed a lot. Not sure how close Elfdalian is to it.

I agree that it’s time we started putting COVID risks in to perspective. Yes, the Delta variant is more transmissible that regular. But to a fully vaccinated person, is it more or less of a concern now than automobile accidents or other viruses?
Yeah, the data on Apple Maps is just not good enough here. The opening hours are frequently just wrong and can’t be trusted.

Part of the reason for that is they use Yelp as a data source which is pretty much non-existent here. If I look at a popular local restaurant on Apple Maps (one which has thousands of reviews on both Google and TripAdvisor) then the opening hours are just wrong and seemingly pulled from Yelp where the restaurant is unclaimed and has just 9 reviews, all in English rather than the native language.
My job is to build and run email marketing systems. Even in modern enterprise mailing platforms it's remarkably easy for unsubscribe systems to break.

Here are the most common troubleshooting things that come up:

- Your email service may strip out the unique URL that unsubscribes you. In which case you may go to a blank unsubscribe page. If it's not well designed, you may think you are unsubscribing but really you submitted an empty form request.

- (We can't always do one-click unsubscribe anymore because some modern SPAM filters work by clicking every link in an email for you.)

- Similarly, the unsubscribe page can often be just a web form. Some blocking software like Ghostery may think it's a marketing form and straight up disable it.

- Some other team or department in the company set up their own email service for customers or leads without telling the marketing department and doesn't do anything to coordinate the opt-out process (This happens remarkably often.)

- The MOST COMMON reason unsubscribes don't work is some set of forwarding rules. Someone signed up on the website with the address for a mailing list, or a junk email that forwards it to their actual email address. We can't magically guess the right address to unsubscribe from (we had a case where 8 different people on a 15 person product team tried to unsubscribe the list, and one person on the team kept resubbing them every time).
I have a very similar setup using a desktop as a router (opnsense, 2 WAN, fibre/switch) and it has a single, yet fatal flaw.

The power button. When you lose power, and the power comes back on, your router does not. If you are away, you must physically turn it back on.
It's also a preprint and other studies contradict it.
4% versus 2% in the longer term study.

> Although this is pure randomness with such close measurements.

That's not how this works at scale. We need larger studies, yes, but you can't simply dismiss a doubling of long-term symptom reports.

At population scale, even a 1-2% incidence means millions of people.
The nuclear advocate is betting that even in the face of a market worth trillions of dollars, and with thousands of potential chemistries, none of the battery technologies work out. This seems a poor bet.

But I tell you what: in the event that this bet incredibly pans out, the downside is just that batteries cost more than we had hoped. Civilization doesn't collapse. At that point nuclear plants could be built. Is it worth building nuclear plants now that we know are going to be expensive just because batteries have a chance of being expensive?

(Also: long term storage like hydrogen doesn't need advances in batteries at all. Combustion turbines that burn hydrogen have been commercially available for years.)
Don't worry; Roko's Basilisk has no incentive to torture future-you. You can't predict it well enough to know whether it will, so it having the general policy of “follow through on the torture” won't help it – and will, in fact, just waste resources. (Unless it inherently cares about torturing people, but nobody has any incentive to build such a thing – and you should be scared enough of whoever's trying even if they don't succeed.)

Roko's Basilisk only works if you're a superintelligence willing to risk being counterfactually blackmailed in this way. Which you're not. You're safe.
That's not how it works here. How it works is that users need to control themselves under provocation.

You're right that it doesn't remove all risk automatically. You can still corrupt data inside the sandbox.

However, wasm has a very clear sandboxing boundary. The ability of an exploit to escape the sandbox is very small if you are careful there.

IIUC the task here is a user that wants to parse their own files. For that, I think wasm's sandboxing (if used properly) is very useful. Especially since in this case it runs on the web and so we also have the browser's additional isolation (a sandboxed process).

Memory safety is incredibly important, but there isn't a simple answer in the space of tradeoffs, at least not for tasks like this. (For things like running an executable on bare metal that parses arbitrary inputs, obviously things are very different!)
It's not still wrong, because it was never wrong in the first place. The risk to children is exceptionally low as he pointed out, imprecisely as it was. If you delineate between generally healthy children and those with known co-morbidities, it's likely the risk was much, much lower than that.

I'm guessing hindsight will tell us the cost-benefit of sending kids to school significantly outweighs the cost-benefit of the school shutdowns. And that's not even mentioning the actual effectiveness of school shutdowns in restricting the spread of Covid. We're already seeing very little difference in infection and death outcomes among children from areas that shut down their schools for a long period of time to those that did not.

In time I expect the narrative will turn to recognize that the policy consequences of "almost immune" would have been much preferred to the "sky is falling" rhetoric that resulted in schools that were closed for more than a year and the resulting educational and developmental damage that has caused.
"Almost nothing" is a lie. It's ironic that you're so factually incorrect in asserting that someone else is wrong.

One thing I have missed as an introvert is the "people watching" aspect. I don't need to be at the centre of things and don't enjoy big social occasions, but do enjoy walking around a bustling city, taking in the atmosphere. It feels like the world has stood still (or at least slowed) and that has made just my normal day-to-day less interesting.
Introverts aren't disinterested in society - they just like to experience it differently to extraverts.

> When they do it calls an antique web service that runs ‘somewhere’ at the bank. Honestly, it took me 3 weeks to find out where.

A bit of a non sequitur, but this part reminds me of a place I worked where there was an old computer terminal set up in the middle of the receptionist’s office, which was tiny, and you had to kind of scootch around it to get in. It was like that for an unknown number of years.

One day before I started working there a couple of smart fellers asked what it was for, and nobody knew, so they investigated and found it wasn’t plugged into anything except the electrical outlet in the wall. Even so, it took them a while to gather the courage to unplug it, because who knows what crazy systems the people before you have set up.

I think there's some low hanging fruit out there. Simple improvements to make queries easier to write and maintain.

As an example, ActiveRecord allows you to define scopes. If you have an account things like:

platinum: -> value >100000

churn_risk: -> churn>.95

You can then chain these together i.e Account.platinum.churn_risk to get all the platinum accounts at risk of churn.

Afaik there's nothing similar in SQL. If your definition of a platinum customer changes you have to change a bunch of different queries instead of one definition.

I had something like 4 out of 7 orders with UberEats go undelivered. They take the order, make the restaurant prepare the food, and then it sits there because the app took the order even though a driver wouldn't be available.

This was quite the experience with hungry kids waiting for their food at least 2 of the times. One of the times, the online support told me they'd refund the order, then I accidentally hit the "cancel order" button a few seconds later and they charged me the full amount because they said I cancelled too late. I literally sent screenshots of the chat to email support and their support on Twitter and got the same canned response about canceling too late, with no acknowledgement of the screen shots.

I ended up finding some U.S.-based higher-level support email and they finally refunded the order (and even called me to confirm). That was pretty much the end of my time with UberEats. DoorDash has never failed to deliver an order and seems fine to just limit selection to orders that can actually be connected with a driver.

> Our network cards need PCIe 3.0, so that disqualifies 5 chipsets right away: only the A520, B550 and X570 chipsets remain.

No, the linked Wikipedia page only shows the PCIe lanes connected through the chipset and doesn't account for PCIe lanes provided directly from supported CPUs. X470 supports CPUs which have PCIe 3.0 and a board with x8/x8 mode like the ROG Strix X470-F https://www.asus.com/microsite/motherboard/AMD-X470/ should work just fine (and has no fan).

I feel like most frustrations with SQL boil down to fighting against a shitty schema.

When you are sitting in a properly normalized database, it is a lot easier to write joins and views such that you can compose higher order queries on top.

If you are doing any sort of self-joins or other recursive/case madness, the SQL itself is typically not the problem. Whoever sat down with the business experts on day 1 in that conference room probably got the relational model wrong and they are ultimately to blame for your suffering.

If you have an opportunity to start over on a schema, don't try to do it in the database the first few times. Build it in excel and kick it around with the stakeholders for a few weeks. Once 100% of the participants are comfortable and understand why things are structured (related) the way they are, you can then proceed with the prototype implementation.

Achieving 3NF or better is usually a fundamental requirement for ensuring any meaningfully-complex schema doesn't go off the rails over time.

Only after you get it correct (facts/types/relations) should you even think about what performance issues might arise from what you just modeled. Premature optimization is how you end up screwing yourself really badly 99% of the time. Model it correctly, then consider an optimization pass if performance cannot be reconciled with basic indexing or application-level batching/caching.

What? No. The change happens when you learn the language and start thinking in those concepts. It's like learning mathematics or programming: once you learn them, you notice the patterns elsewhere in life too. I don't think the difference in natural languages is as big as with learning programming or mathematics, but I imagine that there's some difference.

> Google has sat on its hands the last couple years with Google Maps: it has hardly improved at all, and outside of their move to jack up prices for API users, I haven't heard of any real changes.

It's a pretty mature product, so you'd expect the pace of signjificant change to be much slower. And large, noticeable change (like a redesign) is a poor metric, as it often feels like a PM getting their wings at the expense of user experience, including muscle memory in an app as useful as Maps.

Despite these caveats, I can think of a new feature off the top of my head: a heatmap of all photos I've ever taken appearing on Google maps. I just moved to New York and it's been both useful and delightful to rediscover where I've been from a new perspective, driven by the serendipitous photos I took over the last decade of sporadic visits.

Yet another new feature I just remembered is Live View compass calibration. Anybody who lives in a big city can relate to how irritating compass quality is around large buildings. The ability to calibrate my compass in two seconds via camera recognition of the street scene is a huge quality of life improvement.

Im usually hesitant to disagree with other people's opinions, but it really sounds like you either have no familiarity with Google Maps or are stuck in a 2010 Apple vs Google fanboy-war view of the world. The reason Maps is so wildly popular is because it consistently pushes out user experience both improvements that are straightforwardly (if incrementally) useful and occasional larger "cool" (and also useful) features. To get as wildly wrong an interpretation as yours (of Maps as somehow stagnant) reeks of willful ignorance.

This is being downvoted, but it touches on a really interesting phenomena we may eventually see, a sort of "arms race" where people try to make their code useless to machine learning, but simultaneously make it useless to people with lower skills (people blindly copying/pasting code with little understanding types).

As the machine learning becomes "smarter", this bar will raise, and more people will be coincidentally excluded in an attempt to keep unwanted algorithms from sucking up code.

10 Gbps can give you some advantage when downloading big games from a network that can support it on high end hardware.

Games are competing for "who can eat the most storage", it seems, and at 231 GB for CoD:MW (https://gamerant.com/pc-games-file-size-hd-space-biggest-hug...), you'll wait over half an hour before you can play with "only" a 1 Gbit connection.

The bigger the game, the bigger the incentive to just re-download when needed if you can do it fast, since your storage is limited.

The 10 -> 25 Gbps step is definitely just bragging rights, which I'd call well deserved given the lengths you have to go to to actually reach those speeds.
