This is a performance point where general purpose Linux distributions ought to be competitive. The Debian project is really dropping the ball by not focusing a lot more on these use cases. Their debian-embedded working group used to lead worthwhile subprojects (known as EmDebian Grip/Crush/Baked) aimed at slimming down minimum requirements on all sorts of special-purpose hardware and even competing with the likes of Alpine and Void, but these have all gone nowhere. Hopefully they'll be picked up again since the mobile-phones use case is raising these same issues, albeit for other reasons.
Well, tell that to the MS-shops... I think it is a very good question, would love to see some benchmarks.
He doesn’t need your respect. He runs the world’s largest company.
Convention and predictability are strong reasons for maps to be north-oriented. A different orientation increases the cognitive load of using the map, which goes against its usual design goals.

The exception are small hyper-local maps where orienteering by the use of compass, far away points of interest, and the sun are not part of the map's purpose, and reorienting is helpful or aesthetically pleasing because of the shape or layout of the area shown; think shopping malls, amusement parks, or the immediate environs of a point of interest.
It would probably encourage less urban sprawl by driving more efficient use of city center land and housing.
I'm a medical physicist. I have articles on arxiv, and articles in clinical journals like Circulation (which have a huge impact factor, are required to get the techniques "out there" and demonstrate their value, but basically necessitate putting all the detail and maths in the SI, if not in a separate paper).

Your statement is very, _very_ true. Physics and maths are ahead of the curve, and in astronomy in particular they hammer papers out at a rate of knots where the arxiv is what matters. Biology, biomedicine, and chemistry are totally different. Everyone uses Word (which I hate) and everyone's formatting looks like shit as a result. The concept that you could have "camera ready copy" is alien. Moreover than that, stuff like a data supplement increasingly needs to be hosted by someone else the further down that train you go. You or I would be happy slapping something up on a static University-run website or linking to it; that gets harder the less technical you get. Moreover, the culture is far less collaborative (in my experience) with a lot more competition. The thing I loved about particle physics was that everyone helps. Mathematicians give talks thanking others honestly for their contributions, and name-dropping people who helped in odd ways. That's very alien to the "We ran this clinical trial" talk I hear a lot of in my world.

Heck, there are multiple groups "competing" in my field on diseases like prostate cancer, which sometimes makes the "losing" group unable to publish their results in a "good enough" journal, and it's not easy to coordinate or organise -- the funding bodies encourage competition. Physicists tend to take the attitude that "there is only one universe to study" and collaborate sensibly; sure, Fermilab and CERN are nominally in competition, say (or ATLAS and the CMS, say) but their competition is more about validation and they explicitly pool resources and ideas such that this is the case. I did my masters' in particle physics and am acknowledged in a textbook chapter I wrote with my then-professor -- take it from me, it's friendly. (I ultimately moved to biology because I felt I was too stupid to progress far in particle, and the medical problems were -- to me -- far easier to solve, or at least make progress on. Doing maths and building things in a hospital is much more of a "USP" than doing maths and building things in a particle physics lab, though I do still love it a lot).

The net result is that publication practices are cultural more than anything, and frankly in my experience only really the mathematicians and physicists have enough freedom and balls to do their own thing. I wish the other fields would follow suit, but there are a lot of vested interests trying to prevent that.
The CEE states have seen strong economic growth and they are treated in quite colonial fashion by the old EU. These things are not mutually exclusive.

If anybody scratches their heads why PiS and Fidesz happened, that's one of the reasons why.

Old EU can follow letter of the law, yet it's still evident that companies from CEE can't compete with those who can out-capital them, and who discriminate against them in a million subtle ways.
Honestly no. When I first read it I thought you'd spent 140 on sprouts which I thought was excessive, but each to their own.

Even though you've explained it I'm still struggling to make sense of it. The 3 indented lines don't related at all in an intuitive manner at least for me.
It is, but it is mixed in with housing that people do not want, such as due to location, size, quality, etc.

The US CPI figures have no resemblance to your expenses if you live in one of the desirable and booming regions of the US.
Homeownership is a great ideal. Letting people work towards having a place to live without paying rent is great for independence.

What is stupid is promoting Homeownership as a personal investment for the individual home-owner. A home is already a great thing to own financially, because it 'produces' not having to pay rent. There is no need to also have it pay 5% a year for people who have 100% leverage (which is very common in the Netherlands for mortgages).

But politicians get lots of votes by making the current middle class richer for owning homes. Nevermind that it is bad long-term as people have been saying for the last 20 years.

Or you buy an apartment in a high rise and share the cost with the other residents.

It would certainly discourage the building of houses in the city centre.
Data of current inequality isn't very useful. I don't have any data, but I wasn't the one claiming things were more extreme now than they have been in the past. If I look at the UK I see even the poorest people have shelter, food and free access to healthcare. In the past the poorest people were literally starving and in very poor health while the richest lived in huge manor houses that would make even a billionaire blush today.
There aren't mortgage tax credits in the UK, and I have no idea what you mean by "eco regulation shenanigans"
Is that because Germany had banned property investment or because supply keeps up with demand in Germany?
I disagree. Elements in a story should help communicate character setting or plot, preferably more than one at the same time, but I think it's perfectly fine to introduce elements that only communicate setting and/or character without being part of the plot. Character and setting are important parts of a story.

If something communicated neither character setting or plot then it should be cut.
Any system with signalling delay will experience this effect. Changes will get amplified across layers. That's also a common way to die from a viral infection: your immune system goes into overdrive from too many signals of infection from different tissue cells. A common treatment is steroids, which dampen immune response.
The real problem is how much the bank earns off the interest it charges you throughout your life while it had to do what?... create new money from nothing into the money supply with special permissions given to it by the government. This is why housing is so expensive to begin with. This bullshit needs to stop.

On the day they were going to kill him, Santiago Nasar got up at five-thirty in the morning to wait for the boat the bishop was coming on.

'knowing what will happen' is not in itself a limit on good literature. You know what's going to happen in every Shakespeare play long before you've seen or read it.
Yeah this is the narrative that is always played every time there is a talk about even slightest increase in interest rate. When politicians and news media alike play this narrative this gives people signal that house prices can never go down. I know a couple who is one layoff away from defaulting their mortgage, but they bought a house with mortgage 60% of their income since they think housing prices can never go down.

Assuming you are able to afford your mortgage in the first place and want to live in the house for distant future, why is repricing in due to rate change a problem anyway?
Some text from a different, non-broken site: "Protactinium-233 is a precursor to uranium-233, where uranium-233 is an accountable nuclear material under international nuclear safeguards. Currently, there are no conceptual approaches for monitoring and verifying protactinium-233 during thorium irradiation and spent fuel reprocessing."

I like this question.

Currently, it's rendered in gray font, and it has five answers.

I think it's the sort of question that's annoying to think about. It's not a complex technical question with a clearly defined answer you can look up on Wikipedia. It's not even obvious where you should start if you wanted to answer.

There is plenty of boring advice out there, but dispensing advice doesn't reliably help people. And yet, it feels like it should. Well-meaning people keep writing more of it.

Can we improve that?

How do you measure advice? Track compliance? Subjective ranking? Score outcomes?

I feel like there's plenty of science we're not doing, data we're not taking, that's applicable even to simple questions like "how do I make my advice more helpful", "what makes people not stick with it", "does following boring advice actually improve outcomes"

It's not particularly expensive to measure these problems. They could have a high impact, multiplied by a whole lot of people.

I'm not sure why the response today was to hide the question.
> One thing I'd like to touch upon is you saying that it cost you 5-7 years of your career. Is that really the case, though?

My decision not to sue certainly was. Note: my decision. I'm taking responsibility, not blaming the company. I'm not going to get into more detail simply because I've gone over it quite enough for this decade in my previous post.
I don't but that one is better than the other: you surely need both for a good story.
The spirit of the idea makes sense but maybe not the implementation. Homes should be occupied. I don't think a ban is necessarily the right approach. Have a high vacancy tax.

The way houses have been turned into a speculatively appreciating asset in much the world is absurd.
> We did invest $6 trillion in 20 years of most less pointless warfare.

Where does this 6 trillion dollars figure come from? It is my understanding that budget of the military is higher (not accounting for hidden/secret budgets), and that according there's (potentially dozens of) trillions of dollars that are just unaccounted for, as the Pentagon is the only federal service that hasn't passed an audit ever.
I think you are missing the point.

All landowners are investors. They bought the property to make money. That makes them an investor. Maybe not a coporation but an investor.
I think I mostly agree with this idea, but while removing pure investors from the market may offer some (or significant) help, however it still does not solve the mismatch between supply and demand. I think the removal of investors will lower the demand, but I think the mismatch will still exist in many places. And proposing solutions for that is essential, i.e. either building more or making it easier to work remotely etc.
I love that idea! It could be extended to different donator tiers:

- buy me a fluid dram

- buy me a pint

- buy me a liter

- buy me a quart

- buy me a barrel

- buy me a cubic yard

- but me a cubic meter
I don't understand how this would work. How do people rent? Obviously many people can't or do not wish to own their house for any number of reasons. Who will own houses that are rented? I used to live in Amsterdam as an expat, and rented from a landlord who owned several homes in Amsterdam. Would she not be able to own and rent these homes under this scheme?

The social housing system seemed to be abused when I was there. I had a number of Dutch friends still living in social housing places they'd rented as students on very low incomes, and were still renting 10 years later. For the same 300 euro per month, when they were now earning 6-7000 euro/month. I could never understand why this wasn't means tested continually.
Rents have already skyrocketed while the private residential letting sector is thriving.

It's not clear at all that changing the market forces to increase access to ownership by occupiers would lead to increasing rents, even with reduced supply of rentable properties.

At the moment, a lot of tenants would rather buy if they could, and are paying the same or more in rent than they would pay on an equivalent mortgage, plus rents are rising faster than a mortgage would if they had one. Rents are also rising faster than their salaries. So they would gain location stability and financial stability by owning, but they can't get a mortgage. Mortgages, like anything in a competitive market, are preferentially offered to the best-looking customers, and property speculators are better-looking than ordinary working folks struggling to make ends meet on their current and rising rent.

If those people could buy properties like the ones they are currently renting, rentable supply would go down. But demand would also go down by the same amount, and mostly from those competing to pay the higher end of rents currently. I think this would reduce average asking rents for the remaining tenants.
Before any reader accepts this article's premise as accurate, I suggest they visit /scimag/recent which is a list of the most recently added (requested) papers. From what I have seen the papers requested/added seem consistently skewed toward certain categories of users, e.g., persons interested in computing/neuroscience/psychology or persons interested in social/political issues. Also, browsing major scientific journals such as Science and Nature through /scimag/journals/[journal-no] reveals large portions of the archives for these publications are missing. It could be that the readership of these journals already has access through university/company sucbscriptions, and that readership has not expanded much into the rest of the population despite being potentially available through Sci-Hub.
This true observation gets at a variation on the point of The Famous Article (TFA):
yes, but what reasonable level of effort shall be applied toward hypothetical 'problems'?

As you note, sticking a whole database into an attribute could be a design element for an application.

I'd always thought that stronger type systems had to do with performance and storage optimization, but TFA didn't delve into that.
Good rule that applies well to software development. :-)
You could fix it by doing Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(div, 'id') to check if there's a getter instead of plain value, not sure about performance impact though.
I know a girl who bought a house with a mortgage backed by her government-student-grant somewhere around 2006 iirc.

Additionally, If prices weren't so high there would be more students buying houses with their parents money.

None of that is to say I understand the market, it's history or future. But your take seems to be based on dogma and an oversimplified supply and demand model.
> Nearly every team we heard technical details from has a “tracking subsystem” which integrates observations across time and sensor modalities.

That’s not object permanence, that’s tracking the same object across multiple frames and tracking it as a single object. The below is part of the abstract for a paper “Learning to Track with Object Permanence” released this year that describes the difference between current tracking and the concept of object permenance:

> Tracking by detection, the dominant approach for on- line multi-object tracking, alternates between localization and re-identification steps. As a result, it strongly depends on the quality of instantaneous observations, often failing when objects are not fully visible. In contrast, tracking in humans is underlined by the notion of object permanence: once an object is recognized, we are aware of its physical existence and can approximately localize it even under full occlusions.

Not sure if Tesla has it or not, but there is a difference between object permenance and tracking objects across frames.

Surely the Dutch are not using your proposed definition, because that would make zero sense unless they wanted to turn the Netherlands into another Chernobyl exclusion zone. That seems unreasonable, so they must be using a different one.
My point is that all those things happen in Belarus as well, except even worse. The average salary in Poland is around $1500 usd. In Belarus, it’s 300. In Ukraine, it’s around 800. Belarus is not immune from brain drain, either. Those who can leave, do leave. So the author should consider the alternative to joining the EU before calling the relationship exploitive.
> Also, forgive me if I'm wrong about this but the entire point of Linux and open source seems to be that you can do whatever you want with it, the users don't usually need to end up patching the apps because some other distro will do it (and many of them already seem to), so usually you can find someone else who wants to support it.

What do you think will happen when developers who've built their apps using GTK3 start migrating their apps to GTK4? They'll most likely pick libadwaita like the developer of GTkeddit did. He wasn't aware about how libadwaita is going to enforce its own theme and was surprised when I told him about it.

Now, I know I'll never use his app because it's using libadwaita but what if apps like Firefox start using GTK4 with libadwaita? What do I do then? Switch to Chromium? It uses GTK as well. The so-called choice that open source offers is merely an illusion in some cases.

The choices that GNOME devs make end up hurting users like me who want nothing do with GNOME and who aren't even using GNOME.

> Right now, it seems inconceivable that the financial elites would bail out the crypto market. But as the bubble gets bigger and becomes tied to Wall Street through its investments, the likelihood increases.

This is really all one needs to understand in the current cycle. It's pretty much a foregone conclusion that Tether and ilk aren't a bunch of angels who can be trusted. But regulators are slow to act, and their gambit appears to grow so large, and have enough Average Joes sucked in, that they can't be brought down, due to populist pressure.
Anyone remember Fair Rent tribunals in the UK? Abolished by the Conservatives in the late 80s along with higher education grants. The 70s and early 80s were a golden age for more than just music.
Home prices are up because there is no supply. There's no supply because people can't afford to build houses. The issue isn't home ownership, it's the lack of it.

An LVT might work but I think it is only ethical if you advantage primary residences with a complete lack of tax.
What are you, a homophobe?
You are assuming that it is possible to live cheaply within 25 minutes of a big city in The Netherlands. That's not the case.
Illustrations easily outweigh the textual content, and those aren't shared. I mean, the text/formatting/latex code for an article compresses to something like 10kB, there's not much to save there.
On the contrary, a land value tax is often proposed to discourage sprawl. Since a land value tax is the same whether you leave a lot vacant or build a single family home or a multi family home, it encourages density and leads to less sprawl.
Like everybody else who posts comments on the internet, myself. Did I give the impression I was speaking on behalf of someone else?
I hated The Hobbit for its endless descriptions that, for me, only evoked boredom, so I wouldn't use it as a good example. The meadows were very green, the forests wre very dark, and the spiders were very large, yes! I know! Get on with it ffs...

I liked the descriptions of landscapes and cityscapes in Jonathan Franzen novels. They have the earnest and surreal feel of a diorama in a museum. I like dioramas for some reason.
If people devote the same amount of resources to that cause as they do to bashing white rural farmers who feed them and have never done anything wrong in their lives, it could work.

How many Apple stores are there in the U.S.? Post 2 student activists at each of them and let them explain that the iPhone belongs to Apple and not the user.
I want to trust them because they’re known for really solid engineering. But, this sounds absolutely terrible to me, and their justification for it was truly weak.
I like it too, but it seems to incentivize sprawl. If people attempt to lease land the LVT will be passed to their tenants. To avoid paying the LVT, tenants will look for new construction.
I should add that the half life for decay into 233U is only about 3 weeks. The critical mass of 233U is also lower, so less material is needed to make a weapon.
A fine way to keep the poor poor is teaching them to identify as victims and not learn math. There are always bad ideas that need to be exposed for what they are.
"The Room", by Tommy Wiseau, is a movie where Chekhov's gun isn't applied. It contains lots of small happenings with no further relevance. It has lots of other issues, technically speaken.

But together they make this film not only amateurish, but it also gives it a certain kind of realism. In real life stuff happens and still may have no further relevance to the "story" after all. In real life there is nobody enforcing Chekhov's gun.

Together with the other charming mistakes and bad acting the film feels quite authentic. It gives this impression that someone just wanted to tell his story, despite not being as professional as we are used to.
Like a little child coming home from playing in the woods that excitetly blabbers out the story of what he just experienced.

Yup. Manufacturers will need to move to single dose vials pretty soon. I was talking to pharmacists that reconstitute a 10 dose vial to vaccinate someone and have to toss the other 9 doses as they go bad.

11M wasted doses is frightening. That would vaccinate the entire population of New Zealand.
> malicious people will use it to their advantage.

There's a good chance they already are. Your average ransomware shop probably won't pull this off, but the three letter agencies around the world with insanely good staff and a lot of budget to search for flaws in some of the most used software? You bet they already have this in their toolbelt.
"Closed source" is a pretty poor analogy, since regular executables can be disassembled or even decompiled. Reversing is a big field. DRM and obfuscation to prevent that reversing is a better analogy.

How is it different from that? It isn't, really.
