Nothing is wrong about having the light the way it is. It is not meant to be a picture of what the planet actually looks like. It is a map.

What it is meant to look like is a small 3D model of the landscape, not the planet itself.
It seems like this is aimed at use cases like a contact form hosted on something like GitHub pages - where you're limited to a static site, and assuming you don't want to run your own server side handler.

I have one site that is generated by Gatsby that could conceivably use this instead of the php script I currently have setup to handle the contact form.
You've got an accidental double link to the same air condenser article -- here's fog collection for the lazy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fog_collection
> The air we share and breath isn't "others' property" though is it?

It is. It can be modeled as shared property. Libertarianism does not imply you don’t believe in commons.

> I've yet to meet one who cares in the least bit about polluting the air I breath.

Well allowing pollution is a violation of property rights. So again, it sounds like you’re just debating people who don’t believe in pollution. You encounter anti-science regardless of market regulation ideology.

> just remove every last regulation and the magic of free markets will make abuse magically disappear. When the opposite is true.

No, a libertarian solution to this problem would be something like cap and trade. Use the government to enforce the protection of the air and then allow the free market for carbon credits to find the best solution.

> The very worst air pollution happened when there were no regulations.

Well China has terrible air pollution and far more regulations than the US. The government regulating every aspect of life is irrelevant if the government isn’t regulating the right things. Some of the worst atrocities in the last couple of centuries were done at the direction of a government authority.

I'm using the JSON mostly for parts that really have no fixed schema, e.g. fields that vary by customer. The alternative would be something like EAV, and JSON columns are far superior here.

Performance is perfectly reasonable with JSON, but there are many more ways to make it slow if you're not careful. Postgres has to read the entire JSON content even if you only access a small part of it, that alone can kill performance if your JSON blobs are large. The lack of true statistics can also be an issue with JSON columns. They're still easily fast enough for many purposes, they just have a few more caveats than plain columns you should be aware of.

There's some other aspects that are not that intuitive, but also not a big deal once you know them. For example you can use a jsonb_path_ops GIN index to speed up queries for arbitrary keys and values inside your JSONB column, but you need to use the @> operator so that the index can be used. If you write queries like WHERE myjson->>'foo' = 'bar' it can't use the index.
It's always amusing to see how much people take for granted. $15 is a lot of money for most people. Not to mention that not everyone has access to internation bank accounts.
It is helpful to have a really clear idea of what a computer is: an algorithm is a sequencing of operations which take some time; important operations to sequence are memory (ie., data) access.

In the classical case we stipulate a model of data access (eg., a Random-Access-Model) which enables calculating a "time-complexity" (performance) of the algorithm.

In the quantum case it appears that where such models exist they haven't been carefully compared to the classical ones.

It seems here the claim is that when you do this comparison carefully, you find most of the speed up of the algorithm comes from a stipulated data access model -- rather than "a more powerful sequencing of actions".

The proof appears to involve a means of stating equivalent classical assumptions about the data access model; and showing under these assumptions, many key quantum algorithms have "time-similar" classical versions (ie., the time-complexity difference isnt expotential, as previously claimed).

It looks like you don't feel like doing full accounting, in that case I'd say it's fine to stick to whatever you're doing. Accounting not done properly (e.g. with missing or incorrect transactions) is not (much) better than no accounting at all.

In my case, I grew frustrated with my approximations. Computing the difference between my balances at different points in time hides the details that would make it actionable, or give any insight about past choices. So in practice I would go through my past transactions, try to get an intuition of what happened. At this point, switching to proper accounting is just about scratching an itch and making this whole process more efficient.

You’re associating anti-science with libertarians, which is just lazy. Not poisoning and killing others is a pretty core tenant of individual liberty.
Hyperlinking references in PDFs is trivial for authors if they use LaTeX and the journal/conference template supports it. It's just a matter of ensuring that the bibtex entry has an URL or a DOI, and most bibtex entries copied and pasted from curated sources already have them.

If you are finding many papers without hyperlinked references, it's probably just because they're published in journals whose templates don't support it. In my particular research field, most publication venues' templates starting supporting those links around 3-4 years ago, so my papers from, say, 2015 have no hyperlinks in references, while those from 2019 do. This didn't require any significant extra effort on my part, in fact in general it requires less because well-curated bibtex entries are easier to come by now than some years ago.
You are correct, violence and sexual violence are a big issue in South Africa. By no means was I trying to say that it isn’t but there’s a big difference between being a “rape capital” and having high rates of sexual violence.

The term “rape/murder capital of the world” is often perpetrated and encouraged by neo-nazi pundits to stoke “white fear” with miss representations of the facts. This is why it’s important to understand the nuances and context of these statistics inorder to avoid falling into the dogmatic conversations.
The David Reimer case is not really "evidence" of anything. At best it's more like a hint or a suggestion. "Evidence" should mean there is a scientific theory and someone conducted an experiment to prove or disprove it and, hey, look at the evidence, it tells us something about the theory. The Reimer case was a complete destruction of a person's life, but it was not perpetrated as an experiment of any kind. Although if I remember correctly the perpetrator did claim he was testing a theory, the unethical and haphazard, disorganised way in which he went about it completely discredits any pretense to science.

So, other, actual evidence, please? A citation in a journal would do. E.g. Yu & Yu 2017 "Gender identity has a biological component" or something of the sort. Something we can accept is "evidence" in a mainstream, standard sense, not in the sense given to "evidence" by the internet, like "I know of something that agrees with my personal beliefs so it's evidence that I'm right".

Classes by themselves are just another name for abstract data types, so just being able to define classes, i.e. structures together with methods that manipulate their members is not enough to qualify as OOP. Abstract data types have a field of applicability far larger than OOP.

OOP has 2 main features, which have first appeared in SIMULA-67: inheritance and virtual functions.

I agree with the following definition for OOP as as a special kind of programming with abstract data types:

"There are two features that distinguish an object-oriented language from one based on abstract data types: polymorphism caused by late-binding of procedure calls and inheritance. Polymorphism leads to the idea of using the set of messages that an object understands as its type, and inheritance leads to the idea of an abstract class. Both are important." (Ralph E. Johnson & Brian Foote, Journal of Object-Oriented Programming, June/July 1988, Volume 1, Number 2, pages 22-35)

When virtual functions are not used, the operations can be considered as belonging to the type (a.k.a. class), not to the objects, which corresponds to the jargon used by programming with abstract data types.

When virtual functions are used, the operations are considered as belonging to the objects, not to the class, as each object may have a different implementation of a given method. This corresponds with the point of view of OOP.

I have used the SIMULA/C++ term of "virtual functions", but in some OOP languages all functions are of the kind named "virtual" in SIMULA, so the "virtual" term is not used.
If you're smart enough to realize that there might be something to worry about, you should be smart enough to be able to figure out how to divide the command into three parts instead of one (download the script, inspect the contents and then run the same inspected [local] script).

I wasnt clear in the sense of "HDD" I was using; it wasnt about data volume.

I mean that a quantum computer isn't strictly a CPU whose computational properties are the ones we are using when we compute stuff (ie., discrete switching of states).

It is more like a device which holds state in a non-discrete manner, eg., like freezing water; or the physical structure of a hard-disk.

So that if/when we use a quantum computer to "do anything" useful, it is actually useful not because it is a better CPU, but more, because it /holds state/ more usefully.

Ie., its computational properties aren't the interesting ones; it's (continuous?) state representation properties are.

That's the claim i'm asking about at least, it would helpful if a specialist had a response.

deb packages will not do signature checks. The signature checks for anything based on deb is rooted in the repository- the repositories package list contains the checksums for the packages and the signature of the repository maintainer. If you fetch a single package from a website and install it, no signature is present. Any check would need to happen out of band by explicitly checking a signature presented elsewhere. RPM packages, however can embed a signature.
This is the precise point of the famous article by Leslie Lamport on time, clocks and the ordering of events in a distributed system. I was surprised that it was not mentioned in this article, as it formalizes the link between this fact and the relativity of time.

I'm not that familiar with the theory, in my case I just got started and now I'm used to it. Just to take the last example:

expenses:food:groceries $100
assets:cash $40
assets:checking

This means you took 140 from your checking account, withdrew 40 that you now have in cash, and spent 100 in groceries. Does that still make no sense?

You are almost always allowed to self archive the final version, but you have to share the PDF you generated yourself, not the nicely formatted one from the publisher. And some publishers only allow self-archiving outside repositories like researchgate. But most importantly, Google Scholar and Semantic Scholar would pick up most links from blogs and Arxiv.

Use https://v2.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/ to check. Also, EU projects in most cases now require open publishing and publishers make exceptions even when OA is forbidden (“self archiving is allowed if mandated by the funding agency”).

With spatial I mean that the players have a position in the game world, like x,y,z coordinates.
Most games solve it by dividing the world into shard/instances/zones. The article mentions this and the issues you get.
There are no game that I am aware of that is able to handle 1000+ connected players (1) nearby like in the "wall of copycats" in the article. Most games have a limit of around 100 players on a beefy server.

It's also about he level of trust you are willing to give the clients, you can for example offload all logic to the clients and just have the server broadcast all messages. But then you will have a problem with cheaters that use modified clients.

The same "holy grail" exist in database too, where you want low latency, high throughput/concurrency, and high availability. Where the solution is, just like in "MMO" games, to use "sharding".

Thank god. I thought there was another default security hole in browsers that I'd have to plug or opt out of.
I'm not sure, but iirc POSIX ACL and typical Unix permission (ala chmod 0755) are two different things.

Unix permissions are those you change via chmod while POSIX ACLs are those you view/change with getfacl/setfacl.

NTFS probably has that because Windows used to have (still has? dunno) a full POSIX subsystem / compatibility layer.
Most people around here seem to hate wearing their mask and look for any excuse to remove it. If that means moving to a less risky area, that seems like a desirable outcome.

There is one advantage to doing OOP in C. Once you figure it out, the mystery of how OOP works all falls away. Frankly, I didn't understand how OOP worked before doing that. None of the tutorials explained what was going on under the hood.

As an engineer, I'm never comfortable using something when I don't know how it works.
I had this book too, as well as a more "general purpose" computing book explaining concepts. The Usborne series were excellent, and burned into my brain -- the Usborne book of knowledge, for example, I absolutely loved. The illustrations, as this example also shows, are fabulous and stick with me to this day (especially the one about sex!)

What was odd was that the computing book -- which I think my parents had picked up very cheaply in a charity shop -- kept on mentioning these devices like Mini computers and Mainframes and all sorts of fun, exciting things that were clearly very different to the boring old personal computer that I had access to with my dad. For a long time, I wondered when I'd be able to meet a real computer, barely aware of the exponential progress that had happened at an astounding rate since ~1980.
OK, so in your world Australia gets off it's backside and gets back to Covid 0, and somehow NZ does too.

How do you Keep covid out, forever?

Also, what about the other 99.9% of the world's population - surely they're all going to get covid sooner or later.

Hopefully the vast majority are double vaccinated before they get it, but like getting a common cold, it's essentially inevitable if we want to go back to mass sporting events, bars and clubs, mass public transport, planes, etc. etc.
An Open-Source Payments Infrastructure
In 2008, during Global Financial Meltdown, an anonymous Group or individual 'Satoshi Nakamoto', published Bitcoin Whitepaper, a revolutionary, decentralized, no trust needed currency, and a new way to transact, that involved no intermediaries, people were exited about this project but the first reply 'Satoshi Nakamoto' got was "We very much need such a system but the way I understand your proposal, it is not seem to scale, to the required size", from that time, researchers, and developers including Satoshi Nakamoto had been trying to solve this problem, but none of them one has passed the test of time, or had been able to develop a solution for this, For a currency to be a viable means to transact - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

It has to be Avg. Score for Cryptocurrencies

(2) Widely Accepted 2/10

(3) Stable 0/10

(4) Cost Efficient* 3/10

There are different types of tokens, and coins, that has different scores, for example DAI(a Decentralized Stablecoin on Ethereum Network), might score 8 in stability test, but would fail, in acceptance, or cost-efficiency test, no decentralized payment method, or currency had been seriously able to challenge any traditional method of payments.

We need financial infrastructure that supports the kind of innovation, and connectivity we’ve got from the Internet.

The current blockchains suffer from multiple drawbacks, a few of them include, high energy consumption, scalability, and poor performance.

The spectacular success of Bitcoin and Blockchain Technology in recent years has provided enough evidence that a widespread adoption of a common cryptocurrency system is not merely a distant vision, but a scenario that might come true in the near future.

It seems there intent is to reduce the number of people who buy property just for investments, and then potentially sit on empty property waiting for opportunities. Banning foreign buyers would just do that, banning foreign buyers, which does not seem to be their intent. Even Dutch people buy property and just sit on it, like what happens in other countries as well.

Not sure how focusing on if someone is Dutch or not will help the situation, compared to banning speculative property investment as a whole instead.

Do you mean deployed in production or during development? If it's during development, i have no issues editing .xhtml files (or static resources that are referenced in from jsf pages, like CSS or helper .js scripts used in the page) on the fly, from the IDE, and getting immediate feedback via browser refresh. It allows for very fast iterative development, approaching nodejs speeds. I sometimes even start with blank and broken .xhtml and build it up one bit at a time; also works with the temple/inheritance stuff.

If you're talking about a build that has been already deployed in production - i'd advise on concentrating on making better CI/CD process than messing around with individual files in the artifact. Bump the patch and minor versions and send it down the pipeline; coffee time.
