I think we can agree that thanks to our minds we have leaped over our physical differences encoded in our DNA. Evolutionary differences have little influence on our survival and reproduction, socio-economic constructs and technology has pretty much taken over that role.
Use a middleware like Chargebee. Your subscriptions will be saved and there will be no change in UX when you are forced to change the underlying payment processor. Even before launch (assuming you’re a US business) you can have a backup in form of PayPal Payflow Pro, which integrates fine with chargebee.
Truisms were very influential on my peergroup in the 90s, as we learned about the series in art class. Later on, I acquired a set of some of the pieces and forget about them until articles like this come up! Not all of them are true, and some are just slogans that use the other truisms as a vehicle, but they are always fun to discover in seemingly random places.

The effect of discovering one of her proverbs that is pithy, specific, mostly true or at least belief affirming, and then at a time that seems random makes them seem like supernatural interventions. They asked, if that was the effect of art designed to provoke you, what was the effect of advertising, and can you choose your beliefs? ("Change your beliefs." was another Holzer meme.)

It would be interesting to interview artists who seem to have had foresight like that, and ask how they see it in the present, and whether they have similar insights about the future.
You can't take on the entire world with bombs and tanks, the Nazis tried that and failed. The CCP has a smarter strategy, they only use force where everything else fails. Like in Hong Kong, they were never going to get the HKnese on their side because no one knows the CCP oppression better than the people of HK, they've had front row seats for decades watching it all in HD. Same goes for Taiwan. They almost successfully infiltrated Australia and New Zealand, they already have people in parliament there. But it seems this didn't quite work out and they promptly threatened Australia with war as well. We'll probably see increasing conflict in the region. The united front work department is active globally. Some regions have priority, like parts of Africa, Eastern Europe and Central Asia. But it's a bit naive thinking China will stay neutral when Xi has given any indication possible that he won't. I find it bizarre many still won't take China seriously. They claim half of SEA at this point and pressure foreign businesses like film studios and airlines into only showing their maps. Ethnic Chinese are at risk of getting kidnapped and brought to China where they're tortured, even if they're foreign citizens. Then there are the concentration camps. What else will it take for foreigners to take notice? Does Wang Yi have to personally travel to their country and leave a severed horse head in their bedrooms?

Rust isn't competing with Zig and Nim just like C isn't competing with Rust.
Have you considered that many PL hobbyists and/or enthusiasts recognize that many features of Rust (or other languages that may be brought up out of context, though in this case Rust is appropriate given the article content) were carefully, deliberately designed? It comes up often, I think, because Rust is one of only a handful of languages I can think of that is incorporating lessons learned, best practice, and innovations into every facet of its design and surrounding tooling. People who have researched, used, and (sometimes) suffered from a great variety of programming languages recognize the good that's being replicated and the bad that's being avoided.

Aside from all of this, even if the article hadn't itself mentioned Rust, an article about a programming language's feature(s) is completely fair game to compare to other languages.

I imagine there are data scientists who operate primarily on unstructured rather than tabular data. Part of my current job involves stuff like text classification, and it's not that difficult to imagine someone for whom that's a more sizable proportion of their day-to-day.

Still, my suspicion -- at least from my corner of data science -- is that such individuals are rare, and that most data scientists do make use of tabular data more often than not.

I wish I could remember where I found this, but there was a fascinating read a few years ago that helped me understand the social impetus behind teen girl behavior. In essence, they’re learning how to build communities, but some of that is expressed in gatekeeping/negative ways.

Unfortunately, that bullying is amplified to incredibly toxic levels online.
Can someone explain this chart to me? What does the position on the chart indicate? Slate is left leaning, but it is correctly marked in blue.

two-dimensional media bias landscape based only on how frequently they use certain discriminative phrases, with no human input regarding what constitutes bias. The colors and sizes of the dots were predetermined by external assessments and thus in no way influenced by our data. The positions of the dots thus suggest that the two dimensions can be interpreted as the traditional left-right bias axis and establishment bias, respectively"

>Is it to protect kids? If so, then all that effort is better directed at the FDA who has banned them from getting the vaccine. I think this is the area where people should have the most anger and Biden should frankly push legislation to replace or reform the FDA. Their behavior has been atrocious.

What specifically has been atrocious? The FDA has ALWAYS been extremely cautious in approving vaccinations for children. The vaccine was just officially approved for adults, they don't feel they have the data to do so for kids yet as far as I can tell.
I mean...who else but Facebook (or Twitter, or any particular company) enabled this scale?

I have a neighbor who is quite happy with what the government pays him while he's not working. I'm sure he could be motivated to work by offering larger salaries, but they'd have to be raised by at least 100% to convince him to go from 0 hours/week to 40 hours/week.

I'm not sure there are 3.277 million people without work who want it.
Here's the rub (at least in the US, Canada, Singapore, and the UK) ... if you're working "full-time" for $COMPANY (ie 40h per week (give or take), then you've contractually agreed that from 0900-1700, you're "theirs"

If you work $ELSEWHERE during the same hours, you're double-dipping, and you will be found out - either by replying to an email from the wrong address / with the wrong signature, being in a meeting for #COMPANY when you're supposed to be in a call with $ELSEWHERE

Now, if you can start one job early-ish (say at 0700-1500), and don't mind working the other one late-ish (say 1530-2330) - and they're not "competing" companies, go for it

You're not going to come out ahead on taxes in any country I'm aware of (regardless of what $COMPANY & $ELSEWHERE reports as your salary, the tax officials will be able to add them together at filing time) - $50k + $50k still plops you at $100k of pay (and, therefore, into whatever tax brackets that entails in your locale)

You may (or may not - you have to figure this out for yourself) be better off leaving Europe if jobs like the one you're looking for are too difficult to find

Merits of Metric vs. Imperial generalized:

- Metric: science-based, regular (powers of 10)

- Imperial: human-scaled, divisible (many divisors, including 3) An inch is about the breadth of a human thumb, and a foot is 12 inches. (Also about the length of a human foot.)

For example, a surfer says "if you measure wave height in metres or cm it is not as accurate compared to the human body (a 6ft wave is under 2 m and we would not call a wave 182.88 cm high)"

edit: length -> breadth

This would land you on one of the earlier stages on Kierkegaards path to “enlightenment”. It’s extremely hard to follow kierkegaard down the path you want without including faith.

It’s important to note that kierkegaard saw the Christian Church of Denmark as the biggest opponent of Christianity, however, and as such it’s entirely possible to take the lessons and direct your faith wherever you may want. Religion to kierkegaard was two things. It was organised religion and following rituals without ever questioning it. And it was self enlightenment in coming to realise that there is more to the world than you will ever understand and that God is real.

Then again, Kierkegaard also favoured monarchy above democracy, and you can certainly pick and chose, but I really don’t see how you can interpret Kierkegaards stages of life without faith considering the final answer is solely about faith.

> The suggestion of the top comment to 'accept it' Kierkegaard argues is no solution, it is regression into the finite, vanishing into the crowd.

That’s not exactly right is it? Kierkegaard very specifically commented on regret as useless and one of the most famous quotes of his is “hang yourself and you will regret it, don’t hang yourself and you’ll regret that as well. Hang or don’t hang yourself, you will regret your decision either way.”

You’re right as far as not letting regret limit you, but if not shooting for the stars is where your meaning is, then Kierkegaard is not against that as is shown in two other famous quotes. On on the fruitlessness of being busy achieving things that have no deeper meaning to you, and one on the virtue of being idle and unproductive to society but engaged within your own mind.
> This is yet more evidence that living in overly sterile environments isn't good for overall health.

You could make that argument but here it appears it's not a lasting immune response but an ephemeral one which requires an active rhinovirus infection and antigen response to be protective.

It's also not definitive and the article mentions the possibility of cytokine storms.
That sounds like a very interesting hypothetical.

Was there any legitimate basis for this fear though? Was this a tactic that was ever provably executed by a manufacturer? Or was it just a made-up scenario by dealerships to push these laws that massively benefit them?
The more you think about it the worse it gets. It's one thing to be in favor of immigration, it's another thing entirely to be in favor of illegal immigration. The Tyson Chickens of the world love illegal immigrants, they don't file workers comp claims or take you to court if you fail to pay them. Supporting illegal immigration is supporting the creation of a untouchable quasi-slave caste. If immigrants had the same rights, privileges and responsibilities of domestic workers, they probably wouldn't work for such a steep discount. This is why I believe many proported immigration proponents don't ever seem to manage to meaningfully open up the border, that isn't what they are going for.
Baking often requires decent precision, but stovetop cooking is more foregiving with ingredient mixes, especially if you taste as you go. Some parts of baking are kind of like that too, sometimes you know when you've added enough flour because of how the dough changes and that may not be a specific amount, and you'll know when you've done enough mixing or beating when things change, not by a specific duration, but other items you do need to be specific.
It's a little disturbing to me that he focuses so much on his career. I don't know what I will regret on my deathbed, but I'm pretty sure work won't be prominent on the list. It's important to be productive, sure, but let's not fool ourselves. Almost none of us will have had any sort of lasting impact. We're making Tibetan sand art. Our 'purpose' is simply to enjoy our time in the sun.

I do like his idea of maximizing gratitude though. What will I be most grateful for on my deathbed? Probably the relationships I had, and a chance to see the world as it is now, in the golden age of our civilization, before it gets wrecked by climate change.
I'm not sure there is a difference for webgl calling it from Wasm vs JS?
I often think of Facebook/Zuckerberg as the perfect example of why having a mission statement (something something connecting all the people) that seems perfectly non-controversial in a vacuum, often leads to a willing delusion that this must mean it's always a good thing and justifies any means.

They reach a point where they're fundamentally unable to honestly ask themselves whether their "good thing" is actually good. I have a fairly respectable social graph on Facebook and Twitter, but far fewer actual friends than I did in the pre-social network days. A row in a database isn't connection, and it isn't good.

I don't think you say much about the performance here except that it isn't noticeably terrible. Any modern computer should be expected to run this kind of thing with a smooth framerate using paltry resources. I would expect this even if this had been written directly in javascript.

Most 'thinking' notes are append only, and I need to use my hand for this. I can't type in the scattered way thoughts come. I used to use paper for these, then about a year ago I got a Remarkable 2 which I use exclusively. I almost never read more than a few pages back though.

Still haven't really settled on anything for more permanent notes, on a subject or something. Everything is frustrating in some sort of way. I'm liking the idea of privately hosting mediawiki. Mediawiki has extensions for music scores (using lilypond) which is quite important to me.

The only 'unknown' remaining is an easy way of creating editable diagrams/drawings on the computer. Either they're hand-drawn on the remarkable, where they're hard to change; or they're drawn on a computer, which is painful. I wish I could create a 'symlink' from a page on the remarkable to an image.
The recent CDC study [1] suggests that vaccine efficacy against hospitalization for people 65+ is ~80% in the US. If we have reason to believe that a third vaccine dose would increase that efficacy, and the immunological data suggests that we do, then IMO it's clearly the right thing to do. Incontrovertible data will mean many seniors being hospitalized and dying in the interim.

There's so much we can do to increase the global supply of vaccines without sacrificing American citizens. Let's focus on those things to improve vaccine equity.

"From the photon perspective there is no passage of time"
What exactly happens when light travels through denser medium? Speed is less than c, so does that mean it experiences time?
You need to have enough energy (aka. mass, physicist will use the two interchangably) to pay for whatever particle you want.

An electron weighs about 10^-30 kg, or about half a megaelectronvolt, but because of cosmic balance you'll want to make a positron at the same time. So your total bill will be about 1 MeV. Visible light photons have about 1 eV of energy, if you want a photon with an MeV then you're past even hard x-rays and into gamma rays. This process is the same as matter-antimatter annihilation, except backwards.

A proper explanation would take several years.

By the way, you can use more than one photon at a time, but to my knowledge nobody has managed to fuse the million flashlight photons you'd need to do pair-production.
This doesn't deserve the downvotes. Too many nerds taking themselves and the internet too damn seriously, I guess.

> We can only blame scale. Some things are much more scalable than others, and "beauty" scales. And the "occurrence of beauty" does, too.
