A degenerative brain disease, cause unknown, no treatment, dementia in early age 30s.

Following a surgical procedure for heart problem, which was relatively easy for current medicine, it's as if his brain didn't come back, his personality changed, he was losing the ability to be himself.

Horrible, but real.

Also today I sat with a close family member as they received a diagnosis for a serious psychiatric illness. Treatable, but the drugs currently available have rough side effects. It's not going to get easier.

The article characterizes Halloway's disease as a "rare" disorder, only one in 5,000 people.

But it really seems as if the bigger picture, of everyone currently sidelined with "Long COVID" or chronic mental health conditions or both... Well, it's less rare than I might like it to be.
Point taken. This analysis https://www.mdpi.com/2226-4310/3/4/42/htm gives three kinds of pilot-induced oscillation,

> Category 1 PIO: Characterized by oscillations with an underlying linear cause such as excessive time delay, phase loss, etc., which makes it easy to understand and study. Several criteria for manned aircraft focusing on excessive phase loss and time delay have already been developed. Certain criteria are based on open-loop analysis such as the Bandwidth/Pitch rate overshoot criteria [6,7], while criteria such as Neal-Smith [8] is a closed-loop analysis method with an assumed pilot model.

This one I think is kind like the non-minimum phase system I described and also like your description of delay being the root cause.

> Category 2 PIO: Characterized by nonlinear events which can be modeled as Quasi-linear events such as actuator rate limiting or amplitude limiting, etc. This is the most common type of PIO observed. Most PIOs associated with non-linear events were found to be “cliff-like” [5]; that is, the pilot reported the onset of the PIO as sudden and unexpected. Since control surface actuator rate limiting is a common non-linearity associated with modern flight control systems [9,10,11], most of the studies are focused on studying its influence on aircraft handling quality and PIO. Currently, Open Loop Onset Point (OLOP) developed by Holger Duda at Deutsches Zentrum für Luft-und Raumfahrt e.V. (DLR) is the only commonly accepted criterion for Category 2 PIO resulting from rate limited actuator in the fully rate saturated case [6,7].

This one goes way over my head

> Category 3 PIO: This category of PIO is caused by highly nonlinear events which involve transition in the control element of the aircraft or the human pilot behavioral dynamics. The non-linearities associated are more complex and cannot be modeled as quasi-linear effects. The PIOs associated with this category are also “cliff-like” [5]. Category 3 PIOs are difficult to recognize and are relatively rare, but could be highly dangerous when they do occur.

And this one is even worse
The post was just trying to say who currently lives there, not who's allowed to, and even if it were trying to say who's allowed to, the Fair Housing Act has an exception that allows sex discrimination when a unit has multiple tenants.
The author literally says the following in the article:

>Note: It is important to note here that we think that NFTs as a technology hold incredible promise to help more evenly distribute financial outcomes to community users, not just community organizers. We are in the early days of exploring what digital ownership actually means and it is far too bearish to universally decry the technology. Our concern is with the following types of NFT applications.
Neopets Launches Its First NFT Collection – The Neopets Metaverse Collection
If there isn't a "lying flat" movement for social media, there sure should be one. It characterizes my feelings perfectly: I give up on it. Nearing 1 year without Facebook, I can confirm it isn't essential and your strongest network connections will contact you if they wish to.

If Facebook could exist as it did one decade ago, maybe it'd be different.
Thank fuck someone said it.

”Are NFTs DRM by Another Name?

[...] What do NFTs do that DRM doesn’t do? Not much. To me, the only interesting thing is that NFT schemes make public the identities of people who paid money for the NFTs that point to digital objects, so that those people have help from the NFT platform in exercising bragging rights. DRM technologies generally don’t do this, though they certainly could.”

> For ownership to be worth more than that, you need a legal system and a legal contract ... so back to square one.

That's the part about NFTs that I keep getting hung up on, yes. I get the abstract notion of creating artificial scarcity for digital goods, and how that could have market value. But we've seen absurd things like "use this service to create an NFT for any individual tweet," with no verification that the NFT is being created by anyone who has any legally-recognized right to the tweet's content. If an artist tweets out an image of a new art piece of theirs and I mint an NFT from the tweet, what exactly do I have "ownership" of? I sure don't have any rights to the artwork. I don't even have any rights to the tweet text, which is implicitly copyrighted by its author.

And it's that sort of foofery, more than anything else, which makes me more inclined to be skeptical. Obviously there are NFTs created by legitimate copyright holders who can legally transfer ownership or other rights to you, but the legal recognition of the ownership doesn't seem to have anything to do with the inclusion of the NFT in the transaction -- the NFT itself can't verify that it was minted by someone who had the necessary legal rights to assign ownership of the thing the token represents.
I think you're missing the purpose of NFTs. Again, I think the best analogy is really the art market.

Most art in the art market is pretty worthless (at least monetarily) - just go to one of a bajillion garage sales to see why. But a few pieces of art will be worth a lot because something about them is desirable.

It's the same with NFTs. There will be a bajillion "beanie-baby-NFTs" that will be close to worthless. And then there will be a few of the "Charlie Bit My Finger" variety that people actually have desire to uniquely "own".
I totally agree this totally feels like someone making noise to get attention even though the subject is closer to a mole hill approaches mountain in stature.

I like your thinking & I wish this was a thing, but even if it were legal to sell new cars w/out ABS, traction control, backup cameras, etc., it seems like anyone who would actually follow thru w/ buying a car like that could just buy a used car - or buy a car w/ a salvage title & replace everything to their exact preferences - for way less than a new car costs anyway
Yeah, agreed. Seems like someone is interested in painting a picture, despite any threats to their potentially incomplete image of reality

NFTs make me think our society has gone completely insane. People sometimes ask me to explain them because I, like, "understand technology", and I have no explanation for what they want explained.
Many NFTs either come with or are designed for a physical representation. 100s or 1000s are already installed and viewable IRL. Being an NFT does not preclude the art from being traditionally enjoyed.
If only I could have it in any other way than emacs...
Sure but a large portion of the current crypto market cap is in currencies that do have these issues, and I'm not sure how to explain that other than by assuming that that value is probably mostly speculation and not actual usefulness.

Why do we work? To eat food? If we had cut out the middleman and directly worked in agriculture, we would have no idle people to spread dissolution, no fallow land. The people would be unified and fixed and the military will be strong.
Probally.
Listen. You have the skills, you’re just lacking the inspiration. People have so many things they want solved, or to see, or to experience. Listen to what people say at work, at the coffee shop, at parties, wherever. Ask yourself afterwards what you thought about their desires, were they superficial, shallow, meaningful, insightful..? Did their thought or question resonate with you? If it did then try creating something in some way that relates to that question.

Alternatively just sit down, with a piece of paper, stare at it, and just make a mark on it, then another, then another. If you get a giant pile of scribbles grab another piece of paper and do the same. Try arranging them all together to see if you see something that means something to you. Frequently artists draw things not even realizing they were drawing what they drew.

Lastly, if all else fails, just let go. Set your intention, that you want to create something, then surrender to life and put that intention in the back of your mind and forget about it. At some point in the future that thought will pop back into your mind out of nowhere with some sort of solution.

Finally, be gentle with yourself. No one is a perfect creator that has never struggled. Give yourself the space to learn, grow, and to find the things, people, and experiences that inspire you.

it's not. the landlord is just to post the listing to find a tenant who will share the space with another person.
also, this listing only describes the gender of the person who already living there. it doesn't demand or state any preference on the sex of the new tenant.

Nothing supernatural.

It may help to understand that a prime motivation for building quantum computers is that they provide the only known way to perform quantum mechanics calculations of general physical systems at significant scale. In other words, although you can simulate a quantum computer in principle, and calculate the effects of the laws of quantum mechanics in principle, in practice classical (non-quantum) computers hit a computional wall doing either of those things above a certain level of complexity which occurs in the natural world.

That makes it impossible to work backwards from physical observations of sufficiently complex systems to confirm that the underlying process is following the laws of quantum mechanics as we currently formulate them. Basically, we need a quantum computer to do the kinds of calculations needed to relate physics observations of complex quantum systems to their quantum mechanics underpinnings. We just can't do the math otherwise.

Quantum mechanics itself has been verified to extraordinary precision over a wide range of phenomena. We know the physics and mathematics works and is remarkably accurate, for the things we can test. That includes many macroscopic observations; it's not a size problem. We have all sorts of clever ways of calculating different kinds of physics observations from underlying quantum mechanics. But the calculations are all limited in the quantum information complexity they can handle, in practice. In particular, nothing with the high level of coherent but complex quantum state required for a substantial size quantum computer is calculatable without a quantum computer, as far as we know.

So, remarkably, quantum mechanics being verified over a wide range of phenomena isn't enough to tell us if quantum computation at significant scale is possible, because we can't do the calculations that show if the observed universe is following mathematical quantum mechanics closely enough to support one.

Ironically, to measure if the universe supports quantum computation, we have to build a quantum computer just to be able to do the calculations that show us if we can build a quantum computer.
You're unemployable at 40 in this field, had I known that I would have studied finance instead. Besides that tech changes so quickly every year or two you basically start over learning a whole new set of skills...and your experience means nothing to hiring companies you still have to answer ridiculous algorithm questions even if you're a frontend programmer.
Or, maybe cops behave differently in the US other than those countries. Even just comparing the UK and America provides an illustrative example; wouldn’t you expect differences in policing between a country where every cop is armed, and one where very few are?

I can say as an American there is a very, very strong pro-cop bias in American media. This is slowly changing, but it’s not a completed process yet. Take a look at what tortuous lengths most newspapers will go to to avoid describing officer misconduct in the active voice; “officer involved shooting” has become a dark joke in this country for a reason.
Amusingly, j2ee did require you to make an interface and an implementation. I seem to recall you had to also have a "stub" class.

Which is to say, early ecosystems in Java certainly needed this criticism. They did adjust, though.
How is permission introspection on something like this? So not just "does user x have this permission on object y" but "why does user x have permission this permission on user y?". For something like cascading folder permission insight and etc...

I don't think there is a problem with stripping it from the display (I dont think its necessary or even desireable most of the time for negligible space differences), it comes with a free UPS and is usually "free"), the idle power consumption is rather low (x240 with screen on is 4w on idle http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/which-lenovo-laptop-...) my requirements for a device are way lower than those devices listed. I sometimes think of devices such as whiteboxes as marketed tools, like the smart clocks that just look like stripped phones to me, or VR that are just dual phone screens.

RDS supports `postgres_fdw` on pretty much all versions of vanilla PG and Aurora PG. This should be sufficient to implement what you described.

Though if you wanted to go one step further you could use `postgres_fdw` to connect to a bunch of stateless PG boxes running OSS PG and have those load non-supported FDWs in order to support all sorts of backends like `mysql_fdw` and friends. Adds a proxy hop but makes it possible to do all sorts of very cool things. Hit me up if you want to talk more PG/Zanzibar things.

Yes...?? And what's wrong with that?

"Best Practices" means - given this problem set, these other engineers have tried a number of ideas and put together a framework, idea, code, whatever that represents a *good enough* solution.

There is no such thing as literal best, greatest, perfect. We're all just balancing tradeoffs in the "best" way we can.

For teams, consistency is more important than cleverness. If something needs to be "clever" then it is important enough to become consistently used because if the person who built the "clever" thing leaves, it becomes expensive to maintain it.

That's what "best practices" are, they are a consistent set methods that enough people have tried them that allows you to "stand on the shoulder of giants" and focus on more critical problems.
I live in a city of 4 million people and I can tell you that in these new construction builds that they legitimately do not build for families. You will rarely if ever see a new construction 3 or 4 bedroom, its typical for these builds to have some studios and 1 or 2s but hardly ever larger units. All that's available of that size is old housing stock from the 1970s or before.

But this is the wrong abstraction.

The application becomes the central authority for some arbitrary token. Yes, in theory they could use "an NFT" to represent a key to some in-application capability but at best the owner of the NFT has an exclusive right to that capability at the whim of the application owner. The NFT owner can't really claim to own any real "thing" in and of it's own right.

The application owner gains very little – they could just implement a Plan Old Database within their system.

The owner of the "NFT" gains very little – except the theoretical value of a token they could trade, and might have value, as long as it's backed with some capability provided by the application.

None of this applies to things like "a gif on the internet", for which the NFT means exactly nothing if you have no enforceable rights.
No, but at least they are being enriched to invest in research and development instead of some arbitraging trolls that will spend it on hookers and blow.
because once you have a global, indestructible infrastructure that embeds the same principles, companies would find it more efficient to do so, instead of building their own unique and non-compatible version.

Making large life decisions based on your own personal GHG emissions is living as though you are already dead.

I moved out to the country. Bought a big diesel. Started a farm. My GHGs went way up.

And yet, my lifestyle change has zero impact on climate change.

It's like voting--if you know game theory at all, you know it's a waste of time, just like it's a waste of a life to spend your time calculating and optimizing how "green" you're being. Zero real impact, beyond whatever it makes you feel.

Hey, I enjoy dirt bikes and the shooting guns on my land. My kids do too. Maybe you enjoy riding the bus and being efficient. To each their own. But don't live a lesser life just to live up to some lifestyle meme--whether it's the homesteading trend or the green trend--just do what you like.
The difference is that you can hang art on your wall and say "that's an original" when your other rich friends come to visit.

I think there's a big overlap -- if you're a crypto skeptic, you are almost certainly going to be an NFT skeptic as well.

But the reverse is not necessarily true. NFTs are just fundamentally a lot worse than cryptocurrencies. They have every problem that cryptocurrencies have, except they're also not scarce, require centralized verification mechanisms, have bad incentive structures around hoarding, are prone to link rot, etc, etc, etc...

NFTs are much harder to justify than cryptocurrencies are. They're all of the drawbacks with virtually none of the upsides. I don't know anyone who likes NFTs but dislikes cryptocurrency.

if the landlord can not provide the gender of the tenant who already living there, they ended up receiving so many inquiries and calls from women from who one of the very first questions is "Is the tenant living there a girl or guy?"
Then the landlord has to reply "he is a guy." and then they walk away.
It's a waste of everyone's time and effort.
