I (genuinely) wonder how much that is attributable to having no actual use for other math, vs

1. not having been taught math early enough for it to be second nature

2. not having been taught useful every day applications of the math so as to keep practicing it

I've also forgotten quite a bit of math, but I also frequently encounter scenarios where I acknowledge that having a better handle on it would be advantageous to myself or others. For example, a better understanding of statistics and probability would certainly help political discourse in our society.
The key to make multiple dispatch work well is that you shouldn't have to think about what method gets called. For this to work out, you need to make sure that you only add a method to a function if it does the "same thing" (so don't use >> for printing for example). To Dr the benefit of this in action, consider that in Julia 1im+2//3 (the syntax for sqrt(-1)+2 thirds) works and gives you a complex rational number (2//3+1//1 im). To get this behavior in most other languages, you would have to write special code for complex numbers with rational coefficients, but in Julia this just works since complex and rational numbers can be constructed using anything that has arithmetic defined. This goes all the way up the stack in Julia. You can put these numbers in a matrix, and matrix multiplication will just work, you can plot functions using these numbers, you can do gpu computation with them etc. All of this works (and is fast) because multiple dispatch can pick the right method based on all the argument types.
Hoping someone with more time and skills than I have writes a Splunk plugin with this. Would be super handy.
Makes me wonder if young children generally have some form of Synesthesia, when the brain still develops, that then subsides in most adults.

While I had practically forgotten it until you mentioned it, I had similar experiences, for example the french song "au clair de la lune" always evoked the same, very vivid (but rather abstract) picture in my mind. To my child mind, it was so intense that the song was that picture to me.

Nowadays this doesn't happen...

I've wondered if languages which "score" well in leveraging this sort of mapping just make it easier to juggle complex subjects by using more "efficient" parts of our mental stack that position conversation to go deeper on any point of interest just because it's less energy intensive or something along those lines. Something akin to a mental locality of concepts if you will.

I have a hard time to conceptualize mathematics because of the teaching methods and how they presents the information.

1) Math teachers loves to gave out their own shortcuts, I mean they will tell us to use it every chance they gets. Then in next mathematics level, they warned that method is old and shouldn't be using it at all. Then the new teacher taught their own shortcuts. This method made it difficult to solve problems because some of the formula wasn't taught how to properly solve without shortcuts.
2) "Why? How?", lots of mathematics teachers during my education times have struggled to give out the explanation of how it get to that answer and why it is that answer. Their response is simply just nodding and "That is how I taught, so it is the answer".

It is hard for me to be able to solve mathematics because I can't conceptualize it well and struggled a lot without using technologies to help me. I do love math, I just can't enjoy math because of my past teachers have failed to educate me. And I failed myself.

Since Earth is not like Venus now, this wouldn't have happened as Earth would've lost most of its atmosphere. But Earth have been a fireball very early on, and cooled down from that since solar output was much lower then.

As the solar output continue to increase, Earth will become like Venus or a fireball, before it's engulfed.

As solar output "only" increased 4% over some hundred of million years it would seem unlikely to occur from greenhouse gases alone.

I don't miss OOP in Julia but I do feel there need to be more ways to abstract things than multiple dispatch and structs. One thing I do miss is interfaces, which can group functions for a common purpose. I understand it may be not feasible in a dynamic language, but hopefully there will be something above functions as an abstraction mechanism.
I wonder if #27 is supposed to be proven without Fermat's Little Theorem. (The question is if p is an odd prime, then 2^{p-1} = pk + 1 for some integer k). Since p does not divide k, it follows from Fermat's Little Theorem that p | (2^{p-1} - 1).
No, thank you!

Better list software and forwarders allow rewriting "from" headers, it's generally better because of SPF/DKIM/DMARC to do so. You can leave the correct `Reply-To` and it should work fine for all list members using anything from this century.

Right now it seems that it's `lists.ubuntu.com` and `canonical.com` in both cases, Canonical could fix SPF and/or DKIM, for the very least for their own e-mails forwarded by their own relay.

EVGA precision is okay.
American clergy are a whole lot more diverse in their ideology than academics. Mainline Protestant clergy are often extremely progressive. Islam has a strong socialist streak, etc. They are also typically a whole lot more experienced than academics with people’s real lives and the problems of real communities.

Regardless, nobody is advocating having clergy run the country. (And no, listening to clergy as stakeholders in society and responding to voters’ whose beliefs might be rooted in religion is not the same thing as what the left seeks to do with academics. Putting a clerical “czar” in place to “nudge” people to desirable behaviors would be wild even for the Bush administration.)
Which singaporemath? There are several.
Precision in p-values that small is more or less meaningless in almost all cases, because any violation of model assumptions will result in p-value imprecision far greater than 10^-10. p-values are (almost always) approximations based on an approximate model, and the variation between the model and reality is probably more than 10^-10.

Some tiny aspect of the real process that your model falls to capture might mean that that 10^-10 is actually 0.001, and 10^-40 is also 0.001. In complex biological fields it's fair to assume that there are always such tiny aspects.
Nope.

Broadly it means that the (in this case) seed investor gets to invest in following rounds at the same price as the other new investors, and the pro-rata means they have the right to maintain their ownership percentage as the rounds go on (if they choose to participate). The exact structure often varies from one deal to the next, you can structure that concept in numerous ways. The gist of it, though, is that the seed investor gains the right to participate in the next rounds at their discretion and typically at prices matched to whatever the next investor is getting in at (usually there is not a discount applied, although I've seen VCs reach for that), and also often with the ability to maintain their seed round ownership percentage.

Why does that exist? Primarily so the early investor doesn't get locked out of increasing and or maintaining their participation in a home run outcome. If the early bet turns out to be a great one, it enables them to maximize their potential return. Seed investors will often get diluted quite heavily over time, so that also enables them to offset or eliminate that consequence. They can continue to retain a sizable ownership stake, rather than passively watch as their 10% stake dwindles down to 1%; if they choose to, they could keep the 10% by maxing out their participation rights. Sometimes the structure dictates the pro-rata rights are only for one round, sometimes it applies perpetually. The details can all be negotiated.
Sibbling comment is correct that this is an attack on a military research project, not civilian infrastructure. Thus non-responsive to the original request.

Perhaps a better (but also possibly fictional) example is sabotage of the Soviet trans-Siberian gas pipeline in 1983. Certainly there appears to have been a US suggestion to surreptitiously provide the Soviet Union with compromised technology it was seeking in the West. But it's not clear whether compromised technology was provided, or whether the US caused the pipeline explosion.

Here is one (controversial) source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At_the_Abyss

I wasn't going to comment at all, since the US does a lot of - ahem - "disruption" throughout the world. However, I'm not aware that the US does a lot of civilian infrastructure attacks outside of active military theatres. If true: it's a notable/interesting fact.

But I'm also not sure that civilian infrastructure attacks are further beyond the pale than rendition, bombing, arms sales, embargoes, et cetera. I worry that we in the States are more sensitive to infrastructure attacks because (1) it's a weapon readily available to our national adversaries and (2) for the first time, we are the victims.
What you should be worried about is people claiming to have the right to use your private property and when violating your terms of service complain about "censorship." It's no different than inviting someone to your home for dinner whereupon they go on a racist/political rant to the point where you ask them to leave, and then they complain loudly about censorship.

It's not censorship.

I'm not interested in any of their ads anywhere and I'm not interested in having my activities tracked. I get no value from it. (And as such, I've stopped using their services entirely except when someone sends me a link to something they want me to see. When that happens, I use a quarantined browser with ad blocking.)

Years ago the did an experiment in Germany (I know, a one time test with 2 cars/drivers is more or less anecdata).

The task was to drive from Duesseldorf to Munich. Two identical cars, two very experienced drivers. one was told to go as fast as possible without breaking speed limits on the way (we don't have a general speed limit on the German Autobahn (highway)) tthe oother ro drive at a relaxed 120 km/h were possible and also honor speed limits.

Both were equipped with EEG (heart rate and stuff).

The driving distance is slightly above 600km.

The first drive (as fast as possible) arrived first. Waiting for the relaxed driver to come in second. That happened 20 minutes later. So on a trip of > 5 hours the gain was 20 minutes.

But at what cost. The EEG told a story of pure stress, massive heart rate spikes even for an experienced driver like the one behind the wheel. While the other one came in not only at a relaxed speed but a way more relaxed body and mind.

Medical doctors concluded that the EEG of number two was way more healthy.

Btw: One reason why the first car was only 20 minutes quicker was the fact that the driver had to stop to refuel. This cost him minutes. While the second driver arrived with gas to spare. So even economically it made sense to drive a relaxed style. Not to speak of the ecological aspect.

So to wrap up. The fast driver often comes in first. But not as quick as the feel they are. And at a high price.

We had this for a brief moment in the form of Web SQL, but as a rule web standards require independent implementations to be developed, and all the implementors were using SQLite under the hood. The current alternative is IndexedDB - for better or worse.

> Is the browser environment becoming more dev-friendly with the adoption of WebAssembly?

Yes, but that doesn't have much to do with WebAssembly.

JavaScript as a language evolved, we have TypeScript with its flexible and expressive type system and bundling is becoming less of a pain with each consecutive framework re-written using ES2015 modules(and loaded via e.g. Snowpack https://www.snowpack.dev/).

WebAssembly is helpful when there's a need for some heavy lifting - e.g. in software codecs, but that's still a niche application.

> At least with privately funded research, the people providing the money aren't going to fund bullshit fake research

They absolutely are if it helps them promote something. Cigarettes and asbestos industries helped produce plenty of fake safety studies.

LSD microdosing: Self-experiment with sub-psychedelic doses of LSD; no benefit
The most enduring lesson about the Dot Com bubble was not the bubble itself, but rather how little the bursting of the bubble registered in real time. Go back to any popular press in early March 2000 and you'll find little hint that the declines were anything other than temporary. Sure, the odd contrarian would be trotted out from time to time, but mainly for sport.

Ditto the GFC. I remember being in the audience of Startup School circa 2008 and some editor from a business magazine gave a talk about how he didn't give a hoot about "Subprime." What he really cared about was productivity declines.

When you get a real bubble going, so many have attached everything to it that they just can't bring themselves to actually look at it objectively. People can actually say "new economy" or "new paradigm" or "the old rules don't apply" with a straight face.

By that metric, "the everything bubble" we currently have is nowhere close to popping. The bears are everywhere. When the last prominent bear goes into hibernation, the inevitable won't be far.

I think this phenomenon deserves more attention.

Key word in that sentence: "likely." AFAIK, nothing has been proven beyond rumor and conjecture, which isn't proof of anything at all.

Did they find the Pegasus or related code on the phone, or not? That is a yes or no answer. Likely?
This is what happens when you have a political party lock people up in their homes on house arrest for a year, force them to close their businesses and LIE incessantly about a harmless virus that was bio-engineered by the CCP with dollars from the United States and tell them they have to wear cloth masks that don't do shit.

Blurring happens inside the UI server process. Here is a related technique in macOS: https://avaidyam.github.io/2018/02/17/CAPluginLayer_CABackdr...

Basically, it's like an iframe — you declare what contents this portion of screen should have, and the render server composes it onto the screen. The render server is shared between all apps (just like in X11), so it can compose different apps with dependent effects (like blur). Apps don't have direct access to the render server's context, just like a webpage doesn't have any way to extract data from a foreign iframe.
> But, like the other commenter to my post alluded to, a common wok cooking method in restaurants involves tossing the food up into the air, where presumably the food is being heated directly by the heat of the flames.

Tossing is to interrupt cooking to prevent burning not to cook with direct heat from flames. To the extent it might do some slower cooking from the heated air when tossed, that’ll still happen from radiated/convected heat from the pan heating the air when the pan instead of flames are the heating element.

One other really good example is BLAS. Since it is a C/Fortran library you have 26 different functions for matrix multiply depending on the type of matrix (and at least that many for matrix vector multiply). In Julia, you just have * which will do the right thing no matter what. In languages without multiple dispatch, any code that wants to do a matrix multiply will either have to be copied and pasted 25 times for each input type, or will have 50 lines of code to branch on the input type. Multiple dispatch makes all of that pain go away. You just use * and you get the most specific method available.
