Yup that's what I'm talking about - the Spanish track added a concept of "purple" which is an advance on the broken ones - you can now take an additional set of lessons for one that shows up broken and it will never break for you again.

I think the Spanish track is likely one of the most advanced in terms of number of lessons and quality of teaching - though I expect the "learn English" tracks are equivalent or more advanced, I've just never looked at those.
There's nothing ugly about Qt. In particular, the core system defines a way to add features to classes that were missing (MOC) and provides a full foundation of types up to network and other event-driven multi-threaded servers. Frankly I think it's one of the best examples of C++ I've seen.

The LtG projections show a wide variety of outcomes depending on the scenario being modeled.

The thing that jumps out from what are otherwise very different graphs is that we are now in a place where there is high sensitivity to inputs: IF population growth stops, IF we transition to renewables, etc. outcomes are much less bad than if we crash through all the guardrails.

Conventional economic metrics are like watching the tachometer when the engine is overheating.
The Club of Rome is a standard bogeyman in conspiracy circles [1]. They are painted as pushing for significant depopulation, through whatever means necessary.

If you consider involuntary depopulation as a form of societal collapse, I wonder how much of this will be a self fulfilling prophecy.

Thank you so much for these recommendations.

I'm better now, but these procrastination problems have plagued me my whole life. To the point that I was suicidal while writing my Thesis, I'd spend 10-12 hours in the library every day and accomplish almost nothing except self torture.

I can't imagine how helpful this "un-scheduling" would have been to me at that time.
I suspect it may have been downvoted due to the ending "that's all you can do to prep". Dead uncle comment (parent's sibling eh?) is a good start, but far from "all you can do".
I’m not calling you a eugenicist, I am worried you’re accidentally repeating their points. We absolutely can and should do what we can to help the global south, but focusing on over population as a source of our ills is a eugenicist talking point.

The problem is, and always has been our dependence on fossil fuels to increase our standard of living. Solve that, and the difference between 7-10billion humans is moot
Maybe I'll have again one day a 3D TV set... even though I didn't like much the glasses, I really miss watching 3D movies at home. And this one promises 3D without glasses!
I'd thought that one of the biggest advantages of python is that 'non' programmers can use it. All the math majors and data scientists love it and aren't interested in learning C++ . As much as I love C++ I wouldn't trust anyone to write it after a Udemy course and "Learn C++ in 30 days".

you keep comparing nuclear to fossil.

You should compare it to solar/wind/(etc) which produce neither CO2, nor radioactive plutonium, cesium, xenon, (etc)
I'm on the same line. I'd love to see a book focused on practical C++/11/17 with non trivial projects. Effective Modern C++ explains a lot of things, but concrete examples are a lot better.

Some projects in mind:

C++/SFML/SDL2 game programming using modern C++

Interpreter/compiler construction in modern C++

Explains how to implement things in modern C++ (e.g.unique_ptr) without modern C++ (maybe just use C)
Remember to take some nuclear engineers with you, they'd make some excellent priests...
The rational argument is that it can provide carbon-free electricity for the entire planet with today's technology. All the information you are asking about is readily available on the internet if you are genuinely interested.

I do think it's amusing that anti-nuclear folks are so worried about waste issues when the current solution for carbon fuel waste is "dump it in the environment and let the kids deal with it". With nuclear fuel the waste is solid and in small enough quantities that it can be managed.
And DANE is never going to happen; DANE advocates have been saying this for over a decade, and the only change has been that the IETF and all the major email providers moved forward on a new protocol, MTA-STS, specifically to avoid needing DNSSEC (which nobody uses) to solve this problem.

All data indicates that climate change will diminish crop yields [1] and ocean life harvests [2] [3] [4]. If there is data to the contrary, I am open to consuming it to update my mental model.

> Researchers combined a global dataset of field warming experiments conducted at 48 sites to estimate decreased yields of 7.1 percent for maize, 5.6 percent for rice, 10.6 percent for soybean and 2.9 percent for wheat. Their estimates were 95 percent probable for the first three staples and 89 percent for wheat.

> In response, “technological and adaptive measures, such as northern expansion of the croplands, will thus have to increase yield by 1.8–2.0 percent per year to meet the conservative estimates of a 70 percent increase in food demand,” the researchers wrote.

> However, that required rate is higher than the historical yield increases in the late 20th century, “which is both challenging and alarming, considering the stagnating yield increases widely observed for the past decade,” they concluded.

Take time to recover and re-orient. If you're sick of work and have savings, evaluate how long you can take a break. Length of break depends on a bunch of stuff, but don't forget that a job search can take 1-3 months. (Probably faster these days, at least in CS.) I find that the firing process and what went on still causes me some issue years later; if you need help, find it! I'm still searching for that myself.

Personally, when I was younger I got very deep into hobbies until eventually I had to find a job again. Very useful reset, but it did take a good amount of time and not everyone has that luxury. If you're truly feeling sick of work and can afford it, personally I found I needed more than 1-2 weeks to really relax and recover from some of these situations and what led up to them.

Another time was around holidays (Nov); I took a much shorter amount of "time off" (partner, mortgage, etc), and found a new job in a month. That job was not a good fit and it was clear in 2-3 months. I was fortunate I could rely on my partner to bridge the benefits gap for a while until I found a much more ideal position afterwards (1.5 months, iirc). Now we've been acquired, this time I have something lined up before being kicked out :)

Also, if your state/country has unemployment benefits, set those up ASAP. My state has a good program but also requires weekly activity; I would get the details on whatever your local support might be and go from there as needed. "Fired" without particular cause in my state is treated the same as general termination, so you aren't always disqualified. Definitely pay attention to the details; in my experience the public servants just want to check a box if you get audited/reviewed but they aren't long on humor or excuses. Don't skip steps!
You pose the questions but do not answer them. Assuming distros are selected purposefully you do get quite a lot of variability. Recompiling the kernel with different hardening options alone makes many exploits impractical.

The threat modeling that you see in this thread is laughable. Nobody has infinite resources, not even NSA. They can't throw all their capability at you alone. In fact they are not even interested in any one individual. They might be interested in some groups of people like "terrorist leadership" but even in that case they don't have the need to hack all people matching that group. So at every step of the decision making process there is a cost benefit analysis. And in the end NSA will only hack some terrorist leaders, the ones deemed sufficiently significant but not any more risky then is necessary.

The amount of meetings and paperwork required for carrying out offensive action is significant and everyone involved is very risk averse. Getting superiors to sign up for an operation against an individual capable of detecting attack and thus risking attribution would only be possible if the proposed techniques can be shown to be extraordinarily stealthy. That requires replicating the system in the lab and rigorously testing methodology beforehand.

Yeah, it is hard to protect organizations from nation states. Because all sufficiently complex systems have bugs and given long enough time persistent attackers will find & exploit these bugs. But that's because organizations have other real-world priorities besides fighting NSA. These organizations can't change protocols overnight and replace core systems just for fun of it.

Individuals actually have an advantage here because they can rotate systems at will and have much higher control over their personal lives than any CEO/CTO/CISO has over their organization. As a result, yes you can raise the cost of an attack against you high enough that NSA won't bother hacking you - either because there are other people who are less protected but hacking them would fulfill the same objective or because your ass gets handed to another agency which is able to present more cost-effective solution.

Your link demonstrates this dichotomy between options that NSA has available for hacking organizations vs individuals. Individuals rarely have well documented procurement processes available for third party auditing you know.
Introduction to Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn
That's less of why the app couldn't be written in Electron and more of why Mac users wouldn't like an Electron app.

Perfectly valid reason why someone would want to write their app as a native app though, and I appreciate that.

Some of those are definitely things Electron gets wrong and should correct. Handling system-wide accent colors is exactly the kind of thing my UI kit (Electron in this argument) should be handling and not forcing everyone to re-invent.

I've never used or even heard of the titlebar file handling functionality and had to search that right now. This is exactly the kind of thing I've said about discoverability. I used OSX for three years daily, and I've been using it on and off as needed since around 2010. Some things that people love and use all the time are just not obvious to everyone.

Is it slower than Python, though? It seems intuitively like it should be faster for a lot of things, since it has non-boxed numeric types, early binding, etc.
In essence, all these dire forecasts are little more than fancy versions of Malthus's predictions, which assume that natural and other resources cannot be improved/increased or more efficiently used as necessary by human ingenuity to support and promote societal well-being.[a][b] Given how large the universe is, I'd bet there's a good chance that scientists, engineers, and enterprising people will find ways to make all these dire predictions wrong.

Random thought as I find myself returning to this thread, looking over at great 14'ish inch CRT I just finished tuning to peak performance, also musing about whether I want to put it into a cabinet just for this game. Has been a while since I last played it with the factory controls. Seems I really do miss this experience.

Maybe Ground Kontrol here locally has a Defender...

But I digress, and really want to pose a tech question:

How robust are the parts of the game managing resources?

Has anyone dropped a 6309 into their game, or run their CPU at a higher clock?

Secondly, have people made modifications, such as something like a lander from hell wave, where they just keep coming, or maybe all pods, that kind of thing?
I think it's hooey. China is doing just fine with 1.2 billion people. The US and Russia are no where close to their density.
> "The new national survey by Pew Research Center, conducted April 20 to 29 among 13,749 U.S. adults, including 912 Gen Z adults, finds a majority of Americans (64%) say efforts to reduce the effects of climate change need to be prioritized today to ensure a sustainable planet for future generations, even if it means fewer resources for addressing other important problems; far fewer (34%) say climate change should be a lower priority, given other important problems facing Americans today."

> Doom has a global variable screens[0] which is a byte array of SCREENWIDTH*SCREENHEIGHT, i.e. 320x200 with the current screen contents.

It would seem to me that the right approach would be to hoist out Doom's main loop so you just have a renderFrame() function, then put something on the main browser thread to "blit" the image into the canvas itself.
Would you agree that, perhaps, your concern lies more with monopolies and not with censorship? Dominant players shutting out competitors is one of the most capitalist things that I can think of.
Any complex structure past int/floats requiere conversion. Heck, even floats and ints (for example: oCalm and anybody with more/less bits than JS).

So, given this is a fact, the best course of action is chosen the most safe alternative.

Interesting attribution to conditioning via TV show characters. What was the difference in people's behaviours?
The onus is on me to the extent that it's in doubt. I was hoping it wouldn't be, since it made the rounds thoroughly enough at the time to shift the counter-discourse from "that never happened!" to "it happened, but it wasn't a problem, because it was just a joke."

I guess I'll have to spend more time wading through the cesspool of political youtube. I spent 15 minutes trying to track it down and couldn't find it. It is buried under at least three incidents with similar search terms since last year, but two of them could have had attenuating circumstances and one of them is second hand, so none of them are as singularly indefensible as the statements he made on the campaign trail about having journalists shot.

If I get some more time I'll go digging again.
How long do you think it will take to do it?
It's a guess, but I would imagine life back then where there was constant danger from predators and other tribes would be similar to the lives of soldiers in combat now. I'd guess that ptsd isn't a new invention and that barely surviving an attack could scar individuals.
> owning land you can live off of is a protection against all form of “dooms-day” scenarios

I imagine that global warming, if it hits some threshold/tipping point that changes the climate enough to wreck the land, might be the one counter-example here. Though I don't know enough about farming to know if it could sustain through a wide range of climates and potential consequences of severe temperature/climate change.
> and that governments and other major interests will go to almost any lengths possible to keep distorted markets propped up.

This here is pretty key. Those on top will do just about anything to stay on top.

As such I try to make sure my own interests align with them. For example, most wealthy people keep very little of their wealth in cash. Meaning inflation doesn't hurt them, in fact in most cases it helps them. So I try to keep little of my money in cash.

Diversification of course is always the golden rule.

I completely agree, I merely meant to point out that making decisions based on the absolute pollution of something will lead you horribly astray.

That said a carbon tax certainly does limit shipping, as some of it will no longer be profitable. Fortunately when doing it with a carbon tax, it just so happens to be the shipping that we shouldn't have been doing in the first place!

Most likely. I don't remember all the settings that I have turned on at some point. :)
Malthus’ predictions were proven incorrect. The predictions of climate models — less rainfall, increased temperatures, less arable land — have proven correct. Not to mention that observable behavior matches those same models. If anything, the models have understated the direness of the situation: both the Arctic and Antarctica are warming far faster than even the most pessimistic models predicted.

You are claiming that because one man was wrong that all men are wrong. That is dangerously absurd.

Will be interesting to see pricing - I wonder if there will be any kind of discount for orgs that already have most of their people on Windows, or indeed for employees using their own Windows devices.

I could see this being a big security bonus for a lot of companies, especially with the shift to WFH - I'd think a lot of companies had to rather hastily deploy VPNs etc, and that's not the kind of infrastructure you want to rush...

Also, I can imagine some unscrupulous companies seeing this as a money-saving exercise, forcing employees to use their own devices instead of providing one for them.
Or it may be that the words connect everyone in their own domain. If a marketer reads it's kinda looks like a pitch, if a programmer reads it's kinda client, if a husband reads its like way to ask his wife, so on and so forth, Cleaver use of words.

Thanks for pointing out that muting words was even an option! That seems like a super useful feature.
It's just "Go". The way I usually describe it is "the sweet spot between C, C++, Python and Java", which, considering who worked on it and where they worked, seems to be closer to reality than just C.

We're an LLC, so we're allowed to take draws at the end of each year vs. having to wait for a liquidity event (IPO or acquisition).
If they use them to fly to and from tiny airports they might fly only a few times per day with enough time to recharge in-between (because there's no demand).

Since the planes themselves are really small, they also won't spend a long time at the gate so they could be transported to a maintenance hangar to recharge.

The correct response is not to refute the label, it's to explore the feeling and ask what makes them feel that way. I'm sure some people will shut you down at that stage, but most people will open up if they actually want resolution.
Philosophic words have been a part of programmers life sometimes but not misleading. Go in depth and you would get the meaning. I must say it is cleaver use of words.

I’m not sure you can make that assumption.

Part of what makes these social networks echo chambers are the unconscious ways we navigate them: how long we linger on a post, stay in the site, etc. I’m not sure whether conscious decisions like being judicious with the follow and block buttons would pull you into more of an echo chamber than the algorithm does, especially if you’re selecting for things other than “this captures my short-term attention span.”
Yes, and we don't know if the current population level is even sustainable. Just look at problems cause by our current technologies like fossil fuel based... everything (oil, gas, plastics, synthetic fertilizers, etc).
