> I refer to anti-psychotics as tranquilizers

If I've got you right, that's what I call "major tranquilizers", e.g. haloperidol and chlorpromazine. I think they:

- Make you fat

- Cause you to start rocking

- Take away all the interest from life

"Mood stabiliser" is actually a new term for me; it used to mean simply "Lithium", in my book. Lithium also makes you rock, if you take it long-term. It does seem to work, in the sense of preventing episodes. The GF is on a mood stabiliser called Depakote.

> Random link to Whitaker's organization

OK, so they're ranting specifically about US prescribing practices, the DSM, and the US drug industry. They're focused on anti-psychotics. I think the system here is less crazy than in the US; although they're severely understaffed and under-funded, UK mental health services aren't in the pocket of Big Pharma.

I'm also concerned about anti-psychotics - especially long-term. My assumption is that they gave her an anti-psychotic because her behaviour at the time she was admitted was chaotic, she posed a risk to herself, and they wanted to prevent a relapse when she was returned to her own home. I've never known her to manifest delusions or hallucinations, which as far as I'm aware are required indicators for a diagnosis of psychosis.

I'm a bit suspicious of the bi-polar diagnosis; she doesn't suffer from wild mood swings or extended periods of depression; she just gets agitated, and jabbers. She says she hasn't had a depressive episode for 20 years. She's as honest as the day is long, and although she's told me some far-out things, they all turned out to be true when I checked; so I believe her. I can't find a medical description of bi-polar that matches the behaviour I observe. And it's not clear to me that the different kinds of "bi-polar" are really different kinds of one thing.

My own ad-hoc definition of bi-polar is "psychological condition that responds to Lithium".

> Let the guy know that you're advocating for your GF, and are prepared to complain to licensing boards/etc...

I've met her shrink, and members of her care team. It would be premature to say "I'm advocating..." - I'm keeping an eye on her treatment. I believe they mean to get her off the anti-psychotic, but not the mood-stabiliser.

I'm her BF, not her carer. I don't police her taking her pills. If she starts going off the rails, I'll give them a heads-up; I imagine I'll be the first to notice. If I eventually have to stick my oar in over her prescriptions, then I will; but for now, I trust her care team (and so does she).

So I see my role as basically "support".

I’m pretty sure this person was learning Pashto or Dari.

The materials were mostly (all?) developed in-house.

If they were learning Dari, they would have been better off just using externally-produced Farsi textbooks since they have a more robust history of development.

I needed a simple templating tool recently and thought about m4, but found myself to be too busy to dive into it deeply enough. In the end, I just used a Bash script with a heredoc, using jq/yq to read from JSON/YAML. A poor man's Jinja2:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

declare SOMETHING="$(yq eval ".yaml.query" whatever.yml)"

cat <<EOF
Here is my template. It says ${SOMETHING}.
EOF

It's not pretty, but it works! You can obviously shell out to anything in the heredoc, so it's quite flexible. Imports that respect the variables might be a bit tricky; maybe just have them as separate scripts like the above and use environment variables to to pass information around would be easiest.

When it comes to service providers, I would tend towards your direction. They did a thing that had conflicting ethics on each side, weighed the outcome and their ethics, and then made a hard decision for the future. What they did could be reversed, too, and didn't cause much permanent damage.

Murdering someone is very permanent and should take a lot more initial consideration.

I make snapshots every hour for 24 hours, every day for 7 days, every week for 4 weeks and every month for three months. This keeps the number of snapshots reasonable while keeping most stuff around should you accidentally delete or overwrite it. I can see a good argument for more fine grained snapshots (e.g. every few minutes) but I think I'd limit that to directories (and thus FSes) known to have frequent updates.

I sometimes blow away all snapshots if I have a big clear out or rewrite of data, or else that stuff sticks around for months.

In php, this is also true or false if you have strict types on.

I’d argue that there are some valid use cases for “5” and 5 to be equal. For example, if you take user input where on an admin screen for a user ID or username, you don’t know if the type is a string or number. Another common example is when you don’t have a known encoding for a packet yet, so you treat it as a binary string. In these cases, it’s easier to grok, as a human what is expected.
I imagine it’s helpful for their valuation as well that there’s no accountability on Duolingo’s part whether anybody actually learns or not, which makes think you’re spot on. They don’t have graduation rates like a school would, or job placement rates or any meaningful metric. There’s no measure of success they can track apart from how many people finish the “course” which means nothing with regard to whether they actually learned anything or not.

Wut?

In countries that had lockdowns, children and young adults arguably suffered worse than any other group. For a ten year-old, that's 10% of their life "gone". Children, teens and young adults have foregone life milestones, missed opportunities and friendships. Instead they have been charged with a ridiculous anxiety about something that is harmless to them.

This reasoning works only if you believe the society isn’t supposed to help the vulnerable.

It’s clear that the older you get, the worse your immunity works. A vaccine isn’t 100% efficient in the first place and will work worse on a 70 yo than on a 30 yo. This means that in order to protect the vulnerable, the society has to achieve herd immunity.
M4 has some well-known uses like Sendmail and GNU Autoconf, but I don’t think this can be counted in M4’s favor: For operating in a standard Unix-like environment, there is really no good alternative to m4 for generic text macro expansion. You can try to force cpp – the C preprocessor – into this, but it is really only suited to being part of a C compiler pipeline. For better or for worse, m4 is it in the world of Unix and shell tools, even though its syntax is quite annoying to use.

Of course, if you operate within a language ecosystem, you can probably find a nice templating system there. Python, for instance, has Jinja2. Or, if your needs are simple, you can use something more basic, like sed(1).

I would recommend watching 3Blue1Bown series on calculus. Its very easy to understand and somes with some great visuals.

When I was a young lad, I would always chew gum when going out at night so A. my breath would be fresh and B. the ladies could see my healthy teeth (and then hopefully make assumptions about other healthy parts).
The missing intuitive link for me was the limit. I did not really understand calculus as a concept, a thing of distinct abstracted value, until I learned it starting from the idea of the limit, continuity, and how it differed from actual computation of specific values of a function.
> The response is universal that everyone's tried Duolingo, and it didn't work for them in actually learning, despite monster streaks.

I think this is an issue of mismatched expectations. For actually getting to know a language a tool like Duolingo is too limited, as knowing a language is an umbrella term comprising multiple skills and Duo helps with only vocabulary, a bit of grammar and pronunciation to some extent (but I have no experience with that aspect). If someone starts a course thinking they'll be able to speak the language once it's over, no wonder they eventually end up disappointed. What Duolingo is excellent at, however, is kickstarting the process of learning a language you're interested in. Hard to find a better tool for that.
Just tried Google.no from my computer (Norwegian IP (Larvik area)). Nothing similar. I see “normal” search results.
In any way, I stopped using Google stuff 5 years ago. Never looked back since then, so my search history is kind of clean, maybe that changes their algorithm behavior.

My partner is doing a “cocktail” of Duolingo, Memrise, and a grammar textbook for French. They are progressing a lot in just a month (and given the early learning curve from the grammar, I’ve found it good)

I think that these language tools work best when you have a mixture, because they can complement each other and keep on feeding into the novelty factor.

(In particular Memrise and Duolingo operate on different sort of teaching strategies so just those two together is really interesting)
You call it "unwieldy", other people call it "available everywhere and battle-tested".

A key point to understand about a heat pump is that it can move a lot more (heat) energy than the equivalent it consumes. One joule of pumping could get up to six joules of heat moved[0] - so it could be represented as being 600% efficient. Burning gas can only generate a maximum of one joule of heat for every joule consumed (i.e. 100% efficient).

Getting six joules requires favourable conditions and a good setup, but the normal expected efficiency is considerably above 100%.

Gas is (normally - I'm on a variable tariff and being paid to consume electricity at the moment) cheaper than electricity per joule, but not so much that it works out cheaper than a heat pump to achieve the same effect.

> According to the test specifications.

...Which define proficiency nearly identically between the different skill sets. Your relative proficiency for speaking is expected to be worse until you reach native proficiency, where you are still worse at speaking than reading or listening, but it doesn't very much matter in most situations.

> You will not speak what you don't know.

Yes, and what you don't know with speaking is invariably greater than what you don't know with listening and reading, hence why everyone scores lower in proficiency with speaking relative to their ability in listening or reading.

> Starting to speak and be correctly understood felt much easier than accurately understanding others in my two secondary languages

If all my utterances in English were "I go school," "I eat pie," "I clean teeth," native speakers will easily understand what I'm saying. That doesn't mean I'm proficient or that it's easier to speak than it is to listen, just that I can create coherent and correctly understood sentences in English.

I use MacOS and Windows for work. I’m quite minimal on the keyboard front, I use a HHKB, no extra buttons whatsoever.

But for the mouse I use a Logitech MX Master 3 (all 3 in the series are worth your time). All the buttons are programmable, it is also possible to create application specific layouts, which are only ever used when the program is in focus.

Where it really is cool is when you configure a button as a gesture button, which maps 4 additional actions onto the button if you hold it and move the mouse either up, down, left or right.

I map desktop management to the lower thumb button, press it and move the mouse in a direction to move between desktops, spread all windows on a desktop, and spread all windows belonging to a specific application. I use the top button for media controls, play/pause, next, back, digital volume up or down.

It’s really neat.
Plenty of people are stuck with CG-NAT – with (sometimes) the option of paying for a "business" connection with a routable IPv4 address. Customers of smaller/newer ISPs, or even larger ISPs in some countries, are affected. On IPv4, they are second-rate internet users, limited to consumption only.

The world moving to IPv6 helps them, since they can then use the internet equally, running servers, remote desktop, etc.

> I can see a good argument for more fine grained snapshots (e.g. every few minutes) but I think I'd limit that to directories (and thus FSes) known to have frequent updates.

Fun fact, the ZFS send-receive functionality was born with snapshots being created every few minutes in mind:

> ZFS send and receive wasn’t considered until late in the development cycle. The idea came to me in 2005. ZFS was nearing integration, and I was spending a few months working in Sun’s new office in Beijing, China. The network link between Beijing and Menlo Park was low-bandwidth and high-latency, and our NFS-based source code manager was painful to use. I needed a way to quickly ship incremental changes to a workspace across the Pacific. A POSIX-based utility (like rsync) would at best have to traverse all the files and directories to find the few that were modified since a specific date, and at worst it would compare the files on each side, incurring many high-latency round trips. I realized that the block pointers in ZFS already have all the information we need: the birth time allows us to quickly and precisely find the blocks that are changed since a given snapshot. It was easiest to implement ZFS send at the DMU layer, just below the ZPL. This allows the semantically-important changes to be transferred exactly, without any special code to handle features like NFSv4 style ACLs, case-insensitivity, and extended attributes. Storage-specific settings, like compression and RAID type, can be different on the sending and receiving sides. What began as a workaround for a crappy network link has become one of the pillars of ZFS, and the foundation of several remote replication products, including the one at Delphix.

He probably needs to cross-compile it. pandoc specifically has a history of not building on ARM boxes directly because it runs out of memory during the build.

And GHC support for ARM in general has been spotty. I know pandoc wouldn't build on Apple Silicon last time I tried to install it, but that was a few months ago.

That's a nice thing about C. It'll compile and run on basically anything.
