I actually live in Europe, so cars aren't my problem, as I already use public transportation. My commute is caused by the stupidly high rents in any area close to the center of my city - which hopefully is another problem that can be partially solved by remote work, since it could ease the demand and lower the prices a bit when fewer big earners need to live crammed in the same area.
For intuition about what it's like to release the energy instantly, it's also ~ one hand grenade.
Is NIF even a "fake fusion energy program"? TFA specifically mentions their goal of simulating fusion detonations in nuclear weapons.

> Around 1988, I added phase shift to my optical thin film design program written in Excel 4.0 for the Mac.

Excel 4 was released in 1992. In 1988 the only version of Excel that would have been available on the Mac would be the very first one.
> They want to buy a weeks' worth of groceries at a time to save the hassle which means buying processed stuff that'll last a whole week instead of unprocessed stuff like fresh produce that only lasts a few days.

This isn't true, though. Most fruits, meats, and vegetables don't spoil in only a few days. Modern flash freezing technology also makes frozen vegetables very nutritious and flavorful.

I shop once per week and my grocery list is mostly fresh vegetables, fruits, and meats. It really doesn't take much effort. If I do pick something up that spoils quickly, I simply cook it in a meal at the beginning of the week instead of toward the end.

I wish it was more common knowledge that eating healthy isn't near as difficult or expensive as it sounds.
If you want to prevent programs from accessing other windows, then (in addition to using its own namespace and file access) you would also need to proxy the X server, or run it in a nested X server (which does not have access to the one outside).
Part of this is just being able to buy things in small enough quantities. I can buy fresh bread every day nearby but I cannot possibly consume it all by myself before it goes bad. Sliced bread tossed into the fridge lasts long enough for me to actually eat it.
And for people giving ways to prevent it, can you please provide some context for those of us who aren't OS experts?
Right. I’ve been learning about “food deserts” and one of the factors that makes a place a food desert is how the residents transport themselves. Basically if a lot of the residents have to take the bus to get anywhere then even a short drive by car can be a very long trip for many people actually living in a given area.
Well their orange-haired chubby savior did say how good of a disinfectant it was. Top it off with some disinfecting UV light in a tanning bed and you have the bedrock of a healthy life....oh wait I mean cancer.
BTW the Federal exception is impossibly narrow to ever meet the first year you are overseas: a date in February starting overseas is required (it's like 10.5 months WITHIN the calendar tax year - e.g. if you move overseas in March of the year, you SOL on the exemption).

Pretty much unlikely you'll qualify the first year. But after should be easy enough.
> to produce one litre of petrol it takes 1.29 kg of oil, of which 85% (1.1 kg) is carbon. And as only 1/10,750 of the carbon remains from the plants that were buried millions of years ago, our one litre of petrol is the result of 1.1 x 10,750 = 11,825 kg of carbon from ancient plants. Finally, as plants are approximately half carbon, that means that 23.65 tonnes of plants were required to make just one litre of the petrol available at your local station

Wow, and this is a lower bound because it doesn't even consider manufacturing and distribution.

My cognitive dissonance at the gas station is approaching an all-time high.
Code reuse was the holy grail of the 90's. People expected classes to be the unit of code reuse, then enterprise services, then after a dozen years of disillusionment we finally got the recipe right.
I grew up in this town, and it has a really interesting combination that I call the 'Hippie / Farmer duality'. On the one hand Petaluma is the focal point town for a huge amount of Sonoma County's agriculture business. There are multiple places you can buy animal feed in large quantities, and there is still a large cattle auction yard in town. Combined with a local racetrack and a very car centric version of nostalgia for the 1960s and 1950s and this town could very well have been a hotbed for conservative view points in Northern California.

On the other hand, many of the people who have moved to Petaluma since the 1960s have been Hippies and other back to the land folk (or just well off, liberal urbanites looking for small town vibes). Add to this the fact that many of the farmers have been 'mom and pop' operations that have fully embraced and seen the value of the organic farming movement.

What you're left with in Petaluma is a place where some of the traditionally conservative rural families are more into environmentalism and environmental justice than some city folk, and that some of the recent city folk have moved there as a reaction against socially liberal urban life.

The perfect image for me is a Prius with an 'all lives matter' license plate frame next to a lifted truck with a 'Support your farmer: ban GMOs' bumper sticker.

It's a really great place.

Not all sliced bread is "ultra-processed" in this paper. They say "Industrial breads made only from wheat flour, water,
salt and yeast are processed foods, while those whose lists
of ingredients also include emulsifiers or colours are ultraprocessed."
The majority of colorado water river is simply banked. So in terms of consumption in the scheme of statewide water usage I stand by "drop". Prior to the water bank Arizona consumed about 15% of it's entitled colorado river water and forwent the remainder. Planning accounts for the possibility of 0 acre feet of colorado river water by 2025. Arizona is legally entitled to its share of the colorado river and takes it and stores it rather than forgo it.

My comment was in response to the salacious title that Arizona's water supply has been "slashed" which is not a factually accurate headline.

Reusable glass bottles also mean that you either bring the exact bottle to the exact retailer to get refilled with the exact product, or brands lose the ability to use the container for advertising and brand identity.

Even the frou-frou dairies that let you bring in their reusable bottles only want you to bring back their reusable bottles with their stenciled logos on them.

Not everything is about climate change.
I understand where you are coming from. You will be worried about ticks with or without the vaccine. I will too! But I think the vaccine isn’t for making you stop protecting yourself from ticks (it can’t do that, as you noted). The important part is it’s a small poke for a better chance at staying healthy. If you are worried in both cases, the question becomes is the time/cost to get the shot worth the result. So if you walk in the woods a lot the answer is very likely yes. If you never go near ticks then maybe not.

Another way to think about it is if there was a vaccine to stop car accidents that is only 75% effective, is it worth getting the shot even though I’ll still be afraid of car accidents? Absolutely! The shot is unbelievably easy to get and probably cheap. It doesn’t solve everything, but it is so easy to do it’s hard not to be worth it.

Sure, but that's more of the exception than the norm... you could probably work out a healthy diet of ultraprocessed foods... but that's outside the norm. Most people don't even know what ezekiel bread is.
A comedy series takes this literally. Magic 2.0 by Scott Meyer.

On some computers there's a mysterious file that has all of the (world/universe's)? object variables, such as a person/object's location or height, age, etc, and magic is performed by manipulating those via verbal macros.

I appreciate your judicious use of "I think" and "IMO". I don't think that you have much justification to think that way about your natural immunity.

For whatever it's worth, this preprint [0] suggests that your immunity, caused by a COVID infection, and my immunity, caused by two doses of the Pfizer vaccine, are similar, and have similar durations of functional protection. Note that, for both our cases, durable protection against Alpha and Delta was found after one year (but, interestingly, not against the dying variants Beta and Gamma).

I hope that you'll be willing to get the vaccine. I've experienced long term medical complications from something unrelated to COVID, and I can't imagine why anyone would want to risk something like long COVID, especially someone who's already had it.

Look for small businesses that need dev capacity but can't afford full time people/and do not need them. They often post on Indeed looking for someone dirt cheap per hour, but you can pitch them on part time work at a higher rate, but because you are more experienced and skilled (presumably), you can make the case that it will cost the same.

I have done this successfully twice.
To be clear though, I don't think anything about NIF's actual design is classified. Maybe the parameters they use on some tests and the angles on some of the lenses and/or target design/composition are, but the actual setup is all publicly documented AFAIK.
"How a font is sold is up to the discretion of the font creator" and "a font should not be sold on a sliding cost scale" aren't mutually exclusive -- the latter's pretty clearly asserting an opinion about reasonable pricing models and terms of use. There are a lot of things people do that they're perfectly within their rights to do that someone else might strongly believe they shouldn't, right?

Personally, I don't like the idea of selling fonts with costs governed by web page impressions, either, no matter how common it may be in the industry. I genuinely like having what I consider to be nice typefaces for my web sites, but this kind of licensing makes it incredibly impractical for me to use most commercial options.
It's okay, everyone expresses an ignorant opinion at some point. We aren't born knowing everything and we have to keep learning as the world changes. What's important is that we recognize that we can put a foot in our mouth and offend people without knowing it. But, it's important to accept and digest feedback. The feedback can be bad or good but it should at least be considered, and hearing "yikes" is pretty mild all things considered.

That said, I really think you should reflect on how much research you did (read a wikipedia page) before stating that Africa's high HIV rates compared to the rest of the world are due to "a culture of rape/unprotected sex" or quack-medicine. (Also, I don't see "rape" anywhere on the wiki article you linked.)
Is it really a stretch to consider sliced and bagged bread from the grocery store shelves to be ultra-processed? It definitely doesn't resemble any unprocessed food.

The sliced and bagged bread on the shelves is also more processed than the bread you might make at home or even buy from the bakery section of the grocery store. There's a reason it maintains perceived freshness much longer than bread you might make yourself.

I don't think their definition is a reason to discard the study. Drop the word "ultra" and it's still true that more than 2/3 of calories being consumed are from processed foods.

EDIT: The term "ultra-processed" isn't meant to be a perfect ordering of all foods' nutritional properties. That said, they didn't come up with arbitrary designations. They confirmed that the nutritional value of the foods deemed "ultra-processed" by their methodology was, on average, lower:

> “In additional analyses, we compared the composition of ultraprocessed foods to non-ultra processed foods using data from the 2017-2018 period. We found that ultraprocessed foods contain a substantially higher percent of calories from carbohydrates and added sugars, and higher levels of sodium, but also had less fiber and a lower percentage of calories from protein,” said the study’s first author, Lu Wang, a postdoctoral fellow at the Friedman School.

Trying to identify edge cases where their designation might fail doesn't invalidate the study. The foods in their ultra-processed category were confirmed to be, on average, nutritionally worse.
> Creating a mock is still better than not creating a mock to test against. With the mock you can create simulations, unit tests, coverage tests, static tests, formal verification.

You did not understand what i wrote. With hardware, its just damn difficult to get accurate mocks. If the mock is wrong, all tests relying on it are not meaningful.

If you ask me, QEMU doesn't even properly support emulating x86. Its just "good enough" to run common operating systems. You could try improving the support, maybe then you will realize how just damn difficult and undocumented this shit is, and you would understand why nobody wants to hear your crappy unit test evangelism.
I think it's because we power users want more from a UI, but to Average Joe, Zoom is great because all the simple stuff is easy to understand.

Screen sharing on hangout (a year or so ago) has been terrible for me, especially for text dense screens like code. Pair programming on hangouts I can't even read the other person's code a lot of the time. Also hangout quality for video and audio drops really fast on relatively poor quality network. I've had a few cases where the quality on hangout was too poor so we switch over to zoom.
Absolutely stunning work. Love that it's able to work so well with TS. Also please tell Puppetmaster Pumpkin 'Hello' on my behalf and give some head scritches :3
>> People genuinely do not want more density in their neighborhoods

How is that not NIMBYism ?
I very much agree with this.

Zoom may be terrible from a security point of view; I dislike the fact that I may well have installed spyware on my machines; and I have absolutely no idea why in the nine hells the Android version complains that my phone is rooted (it should exist in a chroot!) but --- despite all of that --- it works.

Teams, in particular comparison, is like DIY dentistry with kitchen implements as surgical tools. It lags; it doesn't have a native client on any devices and turns them all into heaters; its codecs are nowhere near as good, and it can't display as many people on screen at one point in time -- and there's no private chat. I understand on one level why most organisations seem to want to force their staff to use Teams – it's "free" (if you already pay the microsoft tax) and comes with the corporation (±NSA) being the spying overlord, rather than "E2EE" (+China). However, I completely also understand why most users prefer Zoom. Frankly, I do too!

I don’t agree with this. There is only a chicken and egg issue if the people joining are the product. You can’t sell product data if it doesn’t seem like there’s a lot of product to be sold. If social networks required paid membership, small amount of total users wouldn’t be a bug it’d be a feature.

Glass return schemes basically require standardized bottles. That's how it works in part in Germany: there's a small number of standard shapes of beer bottles, breweries get their share of bottles from return locations around them where possible. It breaks down with more and more breweries using custom bottles, which do need to be sorted out and returned separately, over large distances.

I can't say the experience has changed a lot on the pickup side. I bought a few hooks and thought I'd zip on by for curbside. Huge mistake. Every spot was filled, people hanging out of their car looking miserable like they'd been there a long time. I made a loop and parked while I assessed everything, and in the five or so minutes I was there, never saw an employee. This was just last week. I'll definitely not do pickup again.
I remember a talk ten years by the director of LL describing how a power plant would potentially need something like liquid lithium walls to absorb the energy and transfer heat to steam. That sounded amazing.

Also, ASML did commercialize EUV which relies on blasting a steady drip stream of molten tin, and people 10 years ago said it would never be useful for industry…

You're right, I should have specified -- it is glibc 2.32-48 . This the source specifying how glibc is built: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/97c5d0cbe76901da0135b0... .

I've amended the article so that it says `glibc` rather than `libc`, and added a sidenote specifying the version.

I link to it statically as indicated in the gist, although I believe that shouldn't matter. Also see https://gist.github.com/bitonic/d0f5a0a44e37d4f0be03d34d47ac... .

Note that the hardware is not particularly recent (Q3 2017), but we tend to rent servers which are not exactly on the bleeding edge, so that was my platform.

I've been a heavy user of GoToMeeting for over a decade. It works very, very well for us, and our use case is entirely multi-org meetings.

If someone has shitty home internet (a COVID-era problem), then they should probably dial in separately and not use the meeting audio, but that's going to hurt you no matter what meeting tool you use.

I'll give it another shot, but every time I do I'm not impressed.

I'd love to use Google Meet and save some money but the audio and video quality looks like a cheap trick compared to Zoom. My users complain endlessly about this. We discovered Zoom a few years back because we were desperate to get away from Hangouts.

I expect their client does a lot of work around clearing up audio and similar whereas you'd need to do that on the server-side (and accept the lag) for Google Meet unless you can use WebAsm to clean up the audio stream possibly. I don't know if developers have that access.

I guess Google could solve this but it would require some considerable resources. I think this is one of those situations where video calls are a hobby for Google but they're the entire business for Zoom.
I suspect you’re probably right but I can’t comprehend how anyone other than those who benefit from the digital advertising industry could accept that its ok for anyone (I.e. Everyone) to know everything about them. Isn’t it straightforward that that scenario is disadvantageous to yourself in many ways?

I don’t personally think targeting works - does anyone have a good research paper that proves it?

I think the optimal solution would be the old pre-internet advertising.. general ads on billboards, but now on websites. No tracking.
This would not work on Wayland, though.
You are only imagining the case when you have already opened/identified all of the files you intend to work on.

Actual workflows diverge significantly from the above. It's a matter of cohesion. Yes, co-locating each of the files (and only these files) in a single "component" directory can help ease navigation and discovery, but most of the time it's just easier to keep everything as cohesive as possible.
If you start paying attention to frozen foods, the salt content is absurd. I grew up on the stuff and had no idea.

Even our processed foods are different than the alternatives manufactured by the same company in a different country. I've discovered that even some canned foods have significantly more sugar by volume than the identical item in a European market.
Yes, though the article consists almost entirely of reasons why aneutronic fusion is really hard ("the conditions required to harness aneutronic fusion are much more extreme than those required for deuterium-tritium fusion being investigated in ITER").

Note that the "Candidate fuels" section is not part of "Technical Challenges", but it might as well be. Helium-3, by far the easiest, is vanishingly rare. Deuterium would not really be aneutronic. Then further down is a list of worse and worse headaches.

The leading scenario for acquiring the most convenient fuel candidate is "mining it on the moon". (The alternative scenario being to scale up production of tritium by existing heavy-water reactors from the nuclear weapons program, which decays into helium-3... and defeats the point of researching extremely complex, clean, aneutronic fusion reactors)

I want to like aneutronic fusion, but it takes an objective that is several breakthroughs away and plays the game on nightmare mode.
