Until this day, his daughter isn't vaccinated, but he has made it mandatory for kids his daughters age to be vaccinated to go to school. Isn't that interesting?

Oh hey that looks really interesting. I'll certainly give it a look!

Lesson learned from the Sarama -> librdkafka migration: We actually wrapped Sarama in a home-grown abstraction (to handle some Zendesk-specific concerns). When we made v2 of this wrapper to support confluent-kafka-go, we made sure that no confluent-kafka-go implementation details/types leaked out of the interface. So, in theory, we can change underlying libraries again "easily" (well, with less rework in the apps at least).

I found RTS3 had a lot more network issues than AoE2. It would more consistently fail to hole punch (fail to join a lobby game with certain people for no discernible rhyme or reason) and/or drop connection during play.

I could play RTS3 with most people around the world, it seemed, except a few of my best friends. They could individually play with random people all over the world, but not each other or myself, depending on the day of the week or something like that.

Perhaps their decision to move away from DirectPlay was a mistake or premature optimization!
You mean you don't like facts. I know, democrats have always hated facts

But it is okay for the LA Times, NY Times, and all other media to lie about republicans all day long? I'm not saying everything they are saying is a lie, but much of it is.

Many you should start watching Joe Rogan who is a liberal that talks about how much the left lies. They even attacked him for using Ivermectin even though he said he felt better a couple days after taking it.

> My dad is a retired contractor, and has several times suggested that I call the manufacturer of a home improvement product when dealing with a difficult or nonstandard installation. Coming from the phone-numberless land of Google et al, the idea that a manufacturer would have competent, highly technical help available to consumers always sounded totally insane to me, but it's worked for him!

This is why some of the better ones survive.

The ones that come to mind off hand are the premium paint suppliers (like Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore). The first time I quit IT, I bought and extensively restored a 110 year old house for a few years. Mixing and matching coatings is not a trivial undertaking. Not trivial to plan, and certainly not trivial to un-do if something doesn't play nice with something else.

What was trivial was getting a regional VP (or better) from Sherwin Williams to register and post on historic restoration forums, and answer phone calls and emails.

These companies may be the last bastion of premium service for a premium product at a premium price on a large scale (as in there's a store in most towns).

Don't let the big box stores be the last store in your town, imo....
Bad faith argument here. The current vaccines are not like the MMR vaccine, for example. Vaccinated people can still contract and spread coronaviruses. So, a vaccine subscription where everyone needs shots every 6-12 months is not the _only_ pragmatic way to deal with it; it's just the option that's being shoved down all Americans' throats right now, ostensibly for the benefit of major pharma companies and other more nefarious reasons.

SARS-CoV-2 is clearly not a death sentence, because more than 99% survive if they contract it. And there is a factor of natural immunity, which the US government is oddly trying to smokescreen/astroturf into "get vaccinated anyway".

I am not "anti-vaccination". I had my shots. I am simply against government coercion to push not the best, but the most profitable solutions.
Are you really trying to make this argument?
Wow this is such a bad faith attempt at exonerating Facebook that I don't know where to even start.

No the issue isn't language, the issue is Facebook way of pushing outrage-inducing content and isolating people in bubbles of ever more radicalized content. Spend some time on https://www.reddit.com/r/QAnonCasualties/ and come back tell us how the problem is "language" and not social medias.

Local implementations. It's so bizarre to me that locality is never mentioned in these discussions. Our overly-globalized infrastructure is a weird, bad, and ad-hoc system to meet essentially local needs. I say to people, "I wish I knew when a new restaurant opened in the area," and the nigh-universal reply is: check Facebook. Sorry, come again? I should look to a global data provider to find information about local resources? It's foolish for our data structures and it's foolish for our lives.

My dream: a federated union of localnets that act like banks and data banks in one. A local facility I can resort to for my financial and computational needs. My email, phone services, VPN, and bank all rolled up nicely into one area. And, of course, it should also keep me anonymous except to the provider. The IT would be a nightmare.

Some short answers to this and following questions:

1. Einsum doesn’t AFAIK allow custom strides. So Einsum does only the mapreduce part (and that too only for multiplication & summation combo). To get a taste for the absolute brilliance of a slightly more generic interface, check out Tullio in Julia.

2. Tensordot etc use BLAS under the hood IIRC and can therefore parallelize automatically. The Einsum backend is good old fashioned single threaded C code, so it’s fast (and inflexible) but single core.
It would be a crash of epic proportions.

Yes, as did mine (allegedly.) See <https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/10/14/hunter-bi...>

It seems that in both cases the accused was acquitted or the investigation against them was closed. That's hardly a reasonable indicator of innocence though, as just like you said above, powerful people can often make up excuses to get away with crimes and corruption scot-free. You might be entirely right that one example really happened and the other didn't.
>This is exactly why I had a list of others, church, boy scouts, etc.

And this is exactly why I said you are acting privileged, most of my friends have no religion and I dont even know anyone who was in the scouts. Going to a friend's house wasnt easy, male teachers absolutely helped, in a big way. I'm glad that worked for those guys, but that's hardly universal. Not everyone has a community to support them.

>I think we must limit degree to which government employee acts as role model for child.

Care to elaborate as to why you think that? I have the diametrically opposite opinion. Looking at this data, society is currently failing boys, I think that providing more role models is a step in the right direction. If the government doesnt do it for those less fortunate boys, who will?

>I do not know why there is pertinence on children out of wedlock, we mostly still see it as bad but I think you have already some anger on this subject and it has no relation here.

What? I have anger on this subject? nah. Please don't make assumptions about how others feel, its pretty rude and destructive.
We're talking about societal trends of boys having less father figures, that absolutely has relavence here. I also find your presumption of seeing single mothers as bad as pretty... archaic. Live and let live.

> I do not think child participates in "patriarchal aristocracy

I'm sorry, I guess I was clear enough, my point was directed at:

>>>For a long time teacher was only a job for young unwed women, but we did not have this problem with boys

When being a teacher was only a job for young unmarried women and we weren't having this problem with boys, elite academics absolutely was the realm of the patriarchal aristocracy. To be very clear, I'm positing that we didnt have this problem because academics used to be sexist and classist. Times change, society changes and government needs to adapt.

Not being harassed at your workplace should be the norm, not some luxury benefit that you move to a different company for. Pressure for better working conditions always comes from workers themselves, rather than management, because the priorities are simply different.

I'm assuming you come from a time where strong unions were still a thing. They were a hard-won victory for workers' rights, and a necessity to improve working conditions. Without them, any complaining employee was simply fired, because it's much cheaper for the organization to fire a few employees than to acquiesce to their demands. The latter is precisely what's happening here.
It's not like there wouldn't be any more cattle ranchers. If say a subsidy on cattle production were removed today, the ranchers would refuse to sell to restaurants and distributors at the low price they do today and agree on some price they can break even at. Anywhere offering burgers would have to do it at a much higher price to break even. Many less consumers would likely choose to purchase them, decreasing the demand for burgers, causing a decrease in demand downward until things balance out.

Related would be the conflicting effects on supply of less economies of scale vs being able to utilize only the most efficient means for production (e.g., only the places most fit for it would be producing cattle, meaning that the marginal cost would be lower than in the previously utilized high cost areas, although this wouldn't be sufficient to counteract the original shock, it might help balance the other effects.)

The halting problem is solvable for turing machines with a finite tape. A simple encoding of a finite turing machine into SAT is as follows:

1) Let n be the size of the tape.

2) Consider all binary strings of length n

3) For each string {A_i} run the finite turing machine until it either terminates or repeats a state. Since this model has a finite tape, it is guaranteed to do one of these. If it terminates, consider its output to be 0, prepended to the final tape state: 0|{B_i}. If it loops, consider its output to be the n+1 length string containing all 1s.

In this way, the turing machine is defined exactly as a function f : {0,1}^n -> {0,1}^n+1

All such functions can be trivially encoded into a boolean circuit. And all such circuts can be reduced to an instance of 3SAT.

Granted, this encoding is exponentional with regards to n, so isn't useful if you want to reason about complexity, but it does show that it is not computationally impossible, as the general case of the halting problem is.
Threads are certainly important, but I have to say that I found the multiprocessing package to work very well. I think a lot of the things people think they need threads for would actually be better with multiprocessing instead. Memory protection is good! Shared memory is still available and explicit sharing of just what you need is better in a lot of ways than implicit sharing of everything.

I will be glad if the GIL is fixed but I think people reach for threads too quickly and too often.

This has me asking so many questions. They claimed Louisville grew in population. Did they come from the surrounding areas? If so, which ones? Mississippi as a whole lost population according to the 2020 census. The bigger places around Louisville would be Meridian, casinos, and maybe Jackson. I doubt folks are moving from those spots but I don’t know. I suspect it’s people coming in from the surrounding county/rural areas?

Are the companies able to pay more because of the lumber market this year? What about other sawmills in Mississippi?

What about timberland owners? They haven’t reaped the benefits of sawmills, because there’s like 50 years worth of timber inventory in the American South (though it appears Q3 is picking up! https://www.forest2market.com/blog/southern-timber-prices-hi...)

And does this just raise the wages or is there some profit sharing going on?

> It's a space ripe for disruption.

I want to add that disruption is what huge unions excel at, so if anybody wants to keep them out of tech, the best approach might be to fill the space they'd otherwise sweep into unchallenged with a compelling organization.
Indeed, it is if you are an IoT device manufacturer. IoT is a bit of a laughing stock due to poor security and updates, which is what snap is trying to bring to the table with reliable, automatic updates for the OS and software components, and containerization.

Nice! That’s definitely a good practice :).

I’ve tried to make the kgo package easier to use, but I think some libraries suffer from over abstracting the underlying protocol, which ultimately locks them out of some higher efficiency code or some correctness. So, I’ve tried to make the library simple yet not hide all of the details. It’s seemed to have panned out successfully for at least some people. Happy to answer any questions about it, and thanks for taking a look!

I am further along in the journey, I have been learning formal verification/type theory and logic on my own.

I think these two are excellent books, SF : Logical Foundations for the basics, SF: Verified Functional Algorithms.

Software foundations are excellent books to read even if you aren't interested in verification/program proof.
But without language, how could they communicate these harmful ideas? People use language to spread hate speech. Even the code base of Facebook is written in a language. This is why we need a doubleplusgood conlang alternative like Newspeak! We can then unfollow crimethink terrorinfo and hatespeak. Facebook is just a plusvictim here of enemy agitprop.
And why should we actually care? Why should we give up a right that is inherently valuable, only to receive further detriment to our life, liberty, and happiness?

Logically, empirically, historically, “terrorism” is a term bandied by those who understand that fear is a weapon. One that can compel people to sacrifice a valuable, scarce, resource in order to spare themselves an infinitesimally small possibility of death in a manner that horrifies them.

Same. I've been meaning to take the time to learn and switch to NixOS for several years now, and finally had some time to do it this past spring.

I haven't been this happy and giddy with a new piece of technology since I completely eliminated Windows for Ubuntu back in 2009.

There was a learning curve that took several months, but now that I've got everything I had on Ubuntu running smoothly on NixOS, I could never go back. And this for my daily driver, not a server or anything.

My favorite part is how it enables rapid experimentation with different build configurations, without any concern about borking the current working build.

If the new build breaks something, a single command rolls it back to the prior working build.

If the new build crashes the system, just reboot and choose the prior working build in GRUB. When you're logged back in, call the rollback command to point the system back to the working build.

This makes learning and testing both Nix itself and your particular system build faster, easier, stress-free, and just downright fun, which is invaluable.

Declarative, deterministic, immutable OS builds is a significant step out of the tarpit of software complexity.
