At this level, associating numbers with potentially infinite decimals would not be too bad. The examples of π and √2 are shown as decimals, suggesting that students are already expected to think something like this.

I think that this pair of definitions for real and irrational numbers are unacceptable - the examples of irrationals mean that they don't mislead anyone (unless you can find someone who thinks of complex numbers as numbers but hasn't encountered the term "real numbers"), but it's wrong to pretend that this is a mathematical definition. Even just removing the words "defined as" would be fine.

When I was using EXWM it felt like the closest I have ever been to an Emacs as an Operating System. But why would I want something like that in the first place?

It’s not just being able to control my desktop in a keyboard driven matter with shortcuts I’m familiar with. Because from what I hear, Gnome desktops are pretty keyboard driven. It’s the idea of being able to control my entire Operating System, from programming in it, navigating it, interacting with it, and running the shell through it, all seamlessly with minimal context switching through one interface.

It’s fun to try to get there with Emacs sometimes, even if in my heart I know it’s not what it was meant to do.

When I train developers on `git` in combination with GitHub, I emphasize that `git` the tool was written for a specific goal. Linus wrote it to replace BitKeeper for the express purpose of collaborating on the maintenance & development of the Linux kernel.

The biggest problem is when developers who do not really understand version control at all (there are a lot of them -- they tend to think of it as a "save" mechanism) are allowed to use all the features of GitHub and can only do their work with buttons.

For example, it is common for some developers to think that there are only two options when dealing with merge conflicts: "Accept theirs" or "accept ours" when, in reality, most real merge conflicts require a synthesis. Now, add to this the fact that such developers barely write commit message (seen too many projects with only "merge X and Y", "update", "fix bug", "implement feature" etc). The situation gets worse.

Soon, you end up with a project where the only tool for locating any issue becomes `git bisect`.

One thing, sometimes phones are released, but manufactured for 2 or 3 years, plus sit on store shelves for a year after that.

The parent comment clarified in response to my original question that they were referring to "heavy duty" mental health advice, of serious issues.

The premise of my pushing back against privacy concerns was mental health advice of the basic, fundamental kind: mindfulness, productive thought patterns, healthy work habits, sleep hygiene, etc etc etc.

Even taking for granted that tiktok's access to this information is scarier than eg Google's, the signal they can glean from this type of usage is little more than "I get anxious sometimes", not things like "I have bipolar disorder". I don't think it's controversial at all to say that getting advice for serious mental disorders via social network isn't a good idea for multiple reasons (again, this is why I clarified with the OP of the story what sort of mental health advice they were seeking).

To make it clear by analogy: one maintains their physical health through a million 24/7 day-to-day decisions, and nobody would blink twice at getting information about eg yoga or healthy recipes from YouTube or other non-medical sources. OTOH, trying to treat your pneumonia or MS via YouTube or tiktok would be an obvious disaster. Similarly, there are a million and one day-to-day actions one takes to maintain their mental health, eg mindfulness or other basic CBT techniques. Researching these independently is not just harmless, it's what people _should_ be doing, regardless of whether they're also seeking treatment (and the privacy concerns are similarly minimal). Again in stark contrast, serious mental health issues shouldn't be treated via casual research.
It sort of depends on your process right? If you just want to download the client software and point it at your existing drive and start plotting in the background while doing something else, then I tend to think why not? Worse case scenario you continue to get nothing for the space you currently get nothing for. Also, if you want frequent payouts you can join a pool and then you don't have to worry about going 5 years without getting a reward.
I don't think this is a fair critisim - they've just said it reverse order.

They should start with the set of real numbers, denoted R, and then this can be split into two disjoint subsets - the rational numbers and the irrational numbers. From there the natural numbers are a subet of the rational numbers.
It strikes me as strange that "Social Networks" assume or differentiate based on "social media". Social networks moved from connecting people to posting to create an inventory where ads could fit. It seems like removing the posts from a social network could be an interesting unlock.

You're right about the historical chronology, but TDD adoption IMHO came much later, after Agile exploded in popularity. Maybe it's just my neck of the woods, but I heard of TDD only much later.

As for the "X over Y" statements, well, it's a rhetorical style which definitely creates an implicit opposition. Subordination makes no sense here. Our job and the business value is in working software, of course we want that most of all. Why mention it over something unless that something is in the way and we want to discourage it?

Let's say I told people "Crossing the road over obsessively looking at both sides of the road"*, and kept referring to "obsessive looking" while barely mentioning people should look at all. As guidance this is horrible, for reasons I believe are obvious. If I said later "I only meant obsessive looking" and "you should adjust your crossing process so it suits you" it wouldn't make my advice right, would it now?

* Documentation is of course much less necessary, I'm just taking an extreme example to show the rhetorical style.

All the videos I see on TikTok regarding COVID are all pro-mask/pro-vax/pro-science. I can see how others will be led down a different path though. Not sure it's intentional so much as showing people what they want to see, and I don't see how it's any different than, say, YouTube where one can also go down a rabbit hole and get stuck there.

You are talking about the same company that shoved their proprietary WiFi protocol full of holes straight into the kernel. Judging from the kind of messages it emits, the latter is a true masterpiece by the way.
The article also says "Data from app monitoring firm App Annie indicates that average time per user spent on the apps is higher for TikTok, indicating high levels of engagement."

Now, I don't know for sure, but I cant imagine that YouTube is integrating App Annie metrics into their YouTube App, right?

It's not like Google dont have their own metrics platform...

And is TikTok really using App Annie?

So where are they getting the data from?

Are they including media streaming devices like ATV, Chromecast, Roku, and so on?

Overall it's a misleading report that misrepresents the attention graph of platform consumption!
I didn't use deep learning, but even markov chains can lead to behavior that looks this way.

I managed to create "cooperating" agents via a very very simple model:

https://austingwalters.com/modeling-and-building-robotic-sea...

Effectively, we could show adding this circuit would always be dominate in our simulation. Effectively showing that a single behavior (aggression) could lead to cooperation. I.e. defending ones territory, leads to a cooperation. Genetically this is what our simulations always lead to. The more aggressive other "species" were the quicker and more "robust" the cooperation.

Then of course we translated this "learned" behavior into a robot because that seemed like fun lol

> as opposed to 30% sitting unused in hoarders' warehouses not helping anyone. Having 70% of the supplies in the field and 30% sitting in a warehouse, appearing for sale, but outside anyone's budget, is not an efficient use of supplies in an emergency.

If the items are "outside anyone's budget", then the price gouger will not make money and they will lower the price until someone buys them. Thus, your goal of 100% usage of supplies is still eventually achieved.

> If you don't regulate it, it means the rich get essential items while the poor don't.

If the items are truly essential, and there are not enough to go around, what difference does it make if the rich get them and the poor don't? This seems like you just want to find an excuse to stick it to the rich.

> Instead of the people who have the greatest legitimate need for the essential items getting access to them.

How do you propose determining who has the "greatest legitimate need" more accurately than just seeing who is willing to pay the most?

> as opposed to 30% sitting unused in hoarders' warehouses

It's interesting that you started off talking about price gouging but have now switched to using the term "hoarding".

The thing is, "price gouging" discourages hoarding. If the price is not increased in response to a shortage, then everyone (rich and poor) is incentivized to buy as much as they can whenever an item is available for sale (even if it's well in excess of their actual need). This is basically the definition of "hoarding". Whereas, if the price were allowed to increase, people are discouraged from buying more than they need, and more supply is available for all.

This is almost exactly what happened with toilet paper last year. Toilet paper costs about $1 / roll. Most people can afford to buy extra toilet paper, and so very quickly the entire stock of toilet paper was bought up and there was none available for sale. If the price had increased to (say) $5 / roll, people would have been disincentivized from hoarding it. As it was, the people who had the "greatest legitimate need" - those that actually ran out of TP - were unable to purchase any.

Additionally, the fact that people like you demonize manufacturers and retailers who raise prices in emergencies as "price gouging" also provides a disincentive for manufacturers and retailers to invest in spare capacity for these very emergencies. If "price gouging" is illegal, there is no good way for manufacturers and retailers to recoup the cost of temporarily increasing production, or maintaining a buffer of inventory for temporary spikes in demand.

You're aware that you can dynamically generate wiki pages from git repos using (you guessed it) confluence, right? The problem is people, not tooling.
Sous-vide (and heating the water through solar energy) is indeed one way to do it. Another way in a sunny area:

Try to grab a solar parabolic dish (an example is the Haines Cooker [1]) and place something with a large thermal mass inside. An example of this is firebrick, but regular brick will do (regular brick has a lower heat capacity). Firebrick has a heat capacity [2] of 0.5 MWh / m^3. As the sun sets, put something with high thermal conductivity atop the heated firebricks, and use that to cook. A practical item that works is a cast iron pot or grill.

Another way to cook like this is to use thermal cookers ([3], [4]). Thermal cookers work by wrapping a pot with a large layer of insulation, keeping the food cooking over time. They're popular in East Asia to make porridges (congee) and slow-boiled vegetable/meat dishes (nabe). If you can make your pot come to a boil in something like a Haines cooker and plop the pot inside the insulated chamber, then you can have a hot meal ready by evening.

Of course the most "comfortable" way to cook on clean energy would probably be to store the excess generated solar energy in large batteries and discharge through an induction stove or into a modern PID-based slow/pressure cooker (like the Instant Pot). You're dealing with the losses in battery storage and energy transmission, but that allows people to cook with the "flow" that they expect (e.g. turn a knob and wait for your burner to come to temperature.) There's also a world of biomass stoves out there but if there's enough surplus solar, it's best to stick to an induction stove powered through solar.

Assuming we need nothing but space to exist in, the surface area of the earth is finite. Expand that by a few km up and down, and humans still have a finite amount of space to live within.

If we're allowed colonization of space, we can only travel at a finite speed. Humans can overtake a finite radius in a year, resulting in a cubic rate of growth in volume. Exponential growth is ultimately limited by the finite speed of light and dimensionality of our universe.

What is theorized to be impossible is learning a language as an adult if you did not learn a language as a child. That is, if at age 20 you know 0 languages then you’ll never be able really learn a language. For obvious reasons experiments in this regard are few.

My conclusion is that some people simply can’t learn algebra. Be it genetic, environmental, lack of intellectual fortitude, lack of “intelligence”, or any combination thereof it is simply the case that some people can’t learn algebra.
Ah, the Crooked Cartridge trick! I haven't heard this mentioned since the 2000s. Zelda: OoT was (and still is) one of my favorite games of all time, and I was devastated to have bricked my cartridge this way - along with my nearly-fully-finished game (IIRC it was just the Golden Skulltula sidequest remaining).

To be fair, it was _saving_ after having performed the glitch that persisted glitched data to the save RAM, but I only figured that out seven years later.
You can make this argument on literally any definition - you have to start with something.

So dictionary.com says the defintion of distance is:

> the extent or amount of space between two things, points, lines, etc.

That works for me.

I think it makes sense to start with something physical, in the real world that people - and especially kids, can intuatively understand. Our brains by default understand what distance is. Maybe that's true for numbers as well- and that's ok too.

Ad hominem occurs when you use someone's reputation in another area to discredit someone on an unrelated matter. For example, you're the worst golfer on the planet so I say you don't know how to cook. Golf expertise has no bearing on your cooking skills. But if you consistently burned toast or you mainly use your oven to heat up frozen pizza, I'm going to take anything you say about baking a cake with a giant grain of salt.
