The Netherlands has a decent vaccination rate (38.5% fully vaccinated, something like 66% has received their first shot). The delta variant is wreaking havoc here. The number of cases went from 500 to 10 000 in 3 weeks... Yes this coincided with very poor decision making on the government side (deciding to open all clubs/bars for people who had a negative tests), but still something to be taken serious.

So far the # of hospitalizations have stayed low, but if the delta variant continues to spread through groups of people who have been reluctant to vaccinate, this might change.
Did we though? From milli- to nanometers is "only" 9 orders of magnitude. 10^43 J is about 30 order of magnitude from practical application than the first transistor was. Also, warp bubble generation might be more like electric motors, which have gone from ~2% to ~95% efficiency and will never ever surpass 100%.

Well, with low yields, financial viability is the problem. It's already difficult to make a living farming, unless maybe you're in an area with lots of rain or where you can mine groundwater.

In your case, your rubber duck is the email editor.

The trick is that your efforts to summarize and clarify the problem for someone else and doing your due diligence for others that you may not have done for yourself at first before you _actually_ press send is oftentimes enough to solve the problem outright. If it doesn't work, you're ready to go with an amazing summary of the problem already.
I've seen many people doing this even being far IT, science, collectibles or anything else nerdy. They mostly go Evernote though - because it is the most well-known. One day you just get overwhelmed with everything and start feeling like you absolutely have to organize all that chaos. Good note-takng suiting your needs can also feel helpful if you have even mild OCD or ADHD.
Links sharing is also less predictable. What will the shared message look like? Will it contain useful context like the page title or will it be a giant unreadable URL? Will there be a link preview? Depends on the messaging platform (SMS and Signal no, iMessage and Slack yes). Will it even take the user to the same page? Will there be a paywall or a redirect to an infinite scroll?

A screenshot is truly WYSIWYG and is the most reliable way to know that they will see the exact same thing that you see.
I found myself doing this as well and decided to write a simple tool to do it "automatically" for me.

In an interview with Sporza he said on day 1 he had knee issues because his cleat slipped. On day 2 he rode through the pain. On day 3 he wore sandals on his trip to a shop and noticed his knee didn’t hurt. So he bought flat pedals and continued on those using the sandals.

He also said the shop did not let him buy only the pedals so he bought the whole bike just for the pedals.

I will do this sometimes if I don't understand how something works and want to confirm it on my own before asking about it. I'll also run the code if I suspect something was missed and want to confirm before bringing it up.
The statement isn't incorrect. The majority of cryptocurrencies (including Bitcoin) are anonymous since they don't assign an external identity and unless you manually attach one, the only way an identity is attached is if it can be inferred by the activity on the account.

Monero and zk proof based networks are private (distinct from anonymous) because the interactions between the accounts and funds are largely obscured.

While these zk proof based networks are also anonymous, most networks are not also private.

It's a small distinction but it's important none-the-less. Privacy improves anonymity but it's perfectly possible to remain anonymous without privacy.

Why do people keep mentioning revenue as if it was some sort of useful measurement? When paying fines net profit is what matters.
I think you might have some fundamental problems with how you phrase and present your points, because a lot of people are misunderstanding you. You might also just be backtracking on what you said.

That said, just because you present something as evidence, doesn't mean that it actually supports your hypothesis.
No idea why this is downvoted. Its true - inflation can be good for those who carry large debts.
It returned 404s for me in the last outage a few days ago. It's working again now.
If people buy less stuff that's a drop in demand and an increase in supply translating to lower prices.

If input costs like energy go up, which affect virtually every item, then that can lead to higher inflation because the aggregate spending across everything can't drop.
I'm guessing that vaccinated people get tested at a much lower rate when they're feeling cold like symptoms, so the denominator there is probably significantly reduced.
Isn't all OpenSource code a "ripoff"? Elasticsearch is based on Lucene, IIRC.

Bitcoin only ever was pseudonymous, which is only anonymous if you manage to disconnect each link between with the real world and your bitcoin pseudonyms/addresses. For ever.

That is a lot of hard work, when for example a £20 bill works so much easier.
To extend, the company would not be sustainable without the ads, so not being hostile towards it could literally put them out of business. There's a balance but ultimately they eschew ads at the start to achieve more growth, knowing they can recoup their losses at a later date. It is a bait and switch in that sense, which is in turn a very legitimate thing to be pissed about. But any company hosting content for free can only sustain with ads or some kind of charging (users, businesses). We've seen experiments with more sustainable models (Mastadon? Another thatt charged users directly, forget the name already) but I don't think any winners have emerged yet. I'm optimistic there's a better future but I don't know what it looks like.

Having SRS you still lack the ability to carry a baby in terms of impregnation for MTF, which most biological women are automatically capable of unless they have some extraneous condition/syndrome/etc.

In addition I often wonder how the cocktail of female hormones including estrogen (versus mostly testosterone in biological males) play a part in neurological development and influence as a prepubescent.

Couldn't be more wrong: https://www.macrotrends.net/1333/historical-gold-prices-100-...

Gold is quite volatile. The chart shows how inflation-adjusted gold can lose %70-80 in a very short period of time; and how it can take a really long time for the price to recover.
Citation needed. And not in the snarky way - I'd really like to read that paper :)
I think you’d need to separate out the populations by age demographics to make that hypothesis because the vaccinated population could be skewed towards older people.
I'd be very surprised if, in a careful study into people taking advice from either random internet people and people taking advice from qualified financial professionals, the people taking advice from financial advisors did worse overall. Take into account that the "random internet people" group not only invested in bitcoin and Amazon but also in MtGox and the Titan stablecoin.

My understanding is that traditional bonds (even high quality / low risk ones) frequently sell off (lose value) in inflationary environments. As mentioned elsewhere it's debatable whether we are actually in an inflationary environment currently.
Your purchasing power for the goods in the index changed by that much over a year. It didn't "just" happen. And you aren't necessarily affected to the tune of 5.4% - could be more or less depending on how you use your money.

> the problems they solve are adjacent, but do not overlap

I think this is just factually wrong. I've experienced many situations where exposing a GraphQL API, even when just intended to be called by another service, provided a number of advantages over a "plain REST" service, so we went with GraphQL, and I have seen other companies do the same. GitHub, for example, has a set of FAQs of "migrating from our REST APIs to our GraphQL APIs".
At least they had the decency to not open source their Bookkeeper backed pub/sub system when they gave up on it and switched to Kafka...

...then some of the employees involved moved to Yahoo, built it again, and then open sourced it as Pulsar. Then moved onto form a Confluent v2 to sell their Kafka v2 (now with even more Zookeeper!)
> On the contrary, first of all there is no rule that requires a C++ compiler to also be a C compiler.

This is true, but an OS with no C compiler is horrifically bad. If Microsoft didn't want their C++ compiler to also be a C compiler, then they should have made a separate C compiler, instead of forcing people to rely on something like MinGW.
I also have (in my case mild) aphantasia, and I'll not that it doesn't say you should picture these things, it says you should think about them.

I find that thinking about these things does it for me, and I don't have to picture them at all.

And reciting "Don't think, don't think, don't think, don't think, ..." over and over is a technique to help quiet the inner monologue, so that option isn't a "no go", it's a thing to try to assist you.
It's the same with any new shiny technology it seems.

The specific thing I have experience with is in analytics/relational databases. Suddenly around 8-10 years ago it became imperative for every client I was dealing with to migrate their RDBMSes to Hadoop/Hive setups, even when their largest dataset was only about 120M rows denormalized.

They were trading three servers (primary, backup, DR) for sometimes 15 to 20. Queries that MSSQL was handling sub-second were suddenly taking 45s on Hive. It was utter madness and was as far as I can tell driven by good salespeople, FOMO, and the feeling of importance of being able to say your company is running Big Data(TM?).

I saw maybe one implementation (of dozens) that actually stayed in use for any length of time.
Obviously, there's a line. If you're asking questions about every line on the code review, yes, it's going to make others hold a low opinion of you.

I like the rule of 3. Review the code but make notes to yourself first about things you want to ask about. Then pick the top 3 most important ones and ask those on the code review. For the others, try to figure them out on your own or ask someone privately if you can't figure it out.
I mod a programming subreddit. 99% of our submissions are screenshots. It drives me mad. I tried to enforce pastebin / text posts only a few years ago and the community was firmly against it, so I let it go.

We even have volunteer transcribers (thank you /r/TranscribersOfReddit) who transcribe the majority of posts. The modern internet truly is a weird place.
That criticism doesn't really make sense, given that Apache the non-profit isn't developing the software.
> 1. you can still catch things as vaccines are not 100% (some are 50-60% effective, mRNA are 90-95% so far)

Sure, but it's far less likely to be severe even if you're in an at-risk group.

> 3. No chance of wiping it out without everyone vaccinated.

Until it burns through the unvaccinated population and people build up natural immunity. I'm not arguing against vaccines, I got mine and I encourage everyone else to, but don't act like vaccines are the only way to get immunity or that they're enough to get rid of it entirely.
It's a unique kind of business that commits to doing substantially more development work after announcing they have ceased sales with no plan to restart.
Maybe just skip step one, and jump right to the last of the next three: keep "don't think" to drown out the inner monologue. Pretty much what I do when my inner monologue is keeping me awake. Not perfect, but it works a lot of the time.
That's a shame... science/math focused software is such a niche, and the people inside that niche(I imagine) _really_ appreciate that type of software.

There could be some type of consulting opportunity here though for licensees that are still wanting to pay for that type of software. Depending on their use case, a consultant could try to shift what they currently are dependent on to a semi-customized collection of jupyter notebooks etc.
My last gig was Kubernetes, and aside from all the hate it gets here, (You're not Facebook, you don't need Facebook scale) it was a very pleasant experience. So pleasant in fact that when I moved on to my next job (Amazon EC2 VMs) it was pretty painful. They were running an old version of Amazon Linux and hadn't been updated in years. The versions of some runtimes were impossible to update due to GLibc being out of date. Our immediate answer was, can we at least get to a Docker solution? ECS/Fargate provided a nice middle ground. But I'll admit. Once you start getting into running multiple replicas, it's nice to have the other stuff that Kubernetes affords you.
Not exponentially. That would be exp(v). But quadratically, which is faster than linear. I would really hope that at least here people would know that exponentially names a particular function and is not a synonym for "fast".
> So, when adding a regular fBM, sine wave or any other displacement function to a "host" SDF, we don't get a valid SDF anymore (we violate the principle that the gradient of an SDF must have length 1.0).

Can someone elaborate or point to an elaboration of this point? I guess there must be a good reason why the gradient cannot just be normalised, but I don't know what it is.
That is my rule for external teams/groups/pings. Within my own team/group/mgmt, I relent to chit-chat.
> Cutting stimulus or raising interest rates won't make this go away

I am going to disagree. The last round of stimulus by Biden the $1.9 trillion was completely unneeded and not smart. It really tipped the inflation scales. It was a political gesture as Biden wanted to appeal to his base early, but economically and financially a very poor decision and what may end up going down as the smoking gun.

> As an engineer with more than 15 years professional experience, my definition of "junior shit" would be thinking you can hand-roll a foundation or framework better than something that already exists.

You're not wrong, although to be fair, it isn't always about hand-rolling a framework. Sometimes it's just about experience and knowledge about which existing framework might best fit a given use case (without unnecessary bloat) as opposed to just choosing the latest "ooh shiny!" bloated buzzword framework to build upon purely because it's new and trendy this week.

Although some use cases do call for the "bloated" framework, because feature requirements demand using a framework that provides those features. Again, experience and knowledge can inform whether this is necessarily the case, and one should obviously avoid hiring any applicant who does not see a valid need for the choice of framework/toolchain when it was chosen for good reason.
The volatility is in the currency.

No offense, but having lived through stagflation in the late 1970's, the current environment is nothing close to stagflation. And from a quantitative point of view, there is no decline in real GDP, thus it's not stagflation. It's like seeing a campfire and then warning that it's a clear case of a forest fire. Sure they're both fires (both inflation) but that's about it.

Not on a piece of paper, no.

Of course I had to at some point but in those instances I was at a computer anyway so I just used excel/python/matlab what have you, not a calculator like a Neanderthal
That’s true enough, but I’m not going to argue semantics. Tesla is explicitly clear in their product communication that what they’re selling as «full self driving» comes with the massive asterix of «someday» and is not currently an L5 autonomous driving system.

The part of the discussion that concerns their marketing is uninteresting and overdone; someone else can discuss that part.
Curiosity made me check, looks like they are just using DASH, its pretty common to break apart audio and video when using DASH so I personally still don't see any explicit malice there.

On the video I used I saw 5 video encodes (96, 240, 360, 480, and 720 - it could be that the orig video was 720 so there is no point encoding a 1080 video). So yeah, it saves then have atleast 4 dupicates of the audio if each video was in its own container also containing audio when you can mix it client side.

I also put the reddit URL into youtube-dl which downloaded the two pieces and murged them just fine.

So for me personally I'm still going to give them the benefit of the doubt on that one as its a pretty common way to do streaming video these days. But I see your point that it came with an added benefit to them that it makes it more difficult to hotlink to the video, but its still easy enough to download and rehost elsewhere.
I am immediately reminded of the Soviet union's full employment policy, and the absurd jobs they had to invent in order to fulfill it. As a matter of fact they regarded a lack of unemployment as a clear indicator of the superiority of socialism over capitalism.

With that said, I expected an article on post-work society. I'm a little bit disappointed.
>> This is itself terrible advice.

I don't advocate it. Not at all. Just pointing out that it exists. The field has a lot of huge problems that need to be overcome IMHO. As you say, they tend to be of a particular political persuasion (or forced to accept things), and are taught/told that they can still handle any type of client (which is just self serving on their part).
More importantly, was it collecting usage information and dumping it onto data markets?
How about: Get drunk? Works for me.
As far as I know the the video stream and audio stream are split and if you save the video it doesn't contain the audio.

Those reddit save sites put both together.

I don't get why Reddit won't allow videos with sound to be easily saved.
Got to admit that watching people struggle with the question of what to do without a job to fill their time is just completely wild to me. It is difficult for me to imagine someone who has so little they want to do outside of work that they can't easily find ways to fill up the 8+ hours a day their job takes from them. I have a list of things I'd like to do a mile long that I know I'll never actually find time to do because I've prioritized other shit I want to do.
I know but in the end, doesn’t it result in the same data?

I share screenshots and raw videos, images with friends to avoid sending any traffic to Reddit, Twitter, etc.

I’ve written a little service I run locally that allows me to “one tap” download videos right to my camera roll on my iPhone to make getting the raw videos as painless as possible.
"What have you tried so far?" is a phrase I say a lot when colleagues request assistance. Those six words can be remarkably effective at focusing the requester's efforts without giving them the cold shoulder.
You need to be careful with that. The brain is amazing at reading what you _expect_, not what's actually written.

It's the same as proofreading. Your brain just papers over repeated words or typos, or off-by-one errors.

Obviously there's a middle ground and it's unreasonable to ask someone to run every single line of code, but it's good to be aware of that.
Great article and it's refreshing to see so many men excited and open minded to give HRT/TRT a try. I know the first time I tried to explain it to my wife she could only think of ACTUAL steroids' and I had to explain to her the intent is different and so is the chemical. Now she doesn't complain at all because of the energy and sex drive is like being 20 again!
But it is funding it
Evidently, since Reddit is a content aggregator.
Agreed, there will always be a lot of doom and gloomers predicting massive inflation but I think a lot of people just don't realize how much of our goods are dependent on international cheap labor (to keep prices low) and supply chains. That seems to me to be much more a factor at the moment than "money printing". We had a massive economic shock, it doesn't seem worrying to me that we'd have some rebound effects.
I don't see any of the degredation of discussion that usually justifies flagging articles.
It is, in fact, a very long time. Because economic cycles these days are 5 to 10 years long (which is pretty long historically). Being a bit off on your inflation call by just 2 or 3 years is essentially the same as being completely wrong.
