Nuclear isn't difficult to build because of environmentalists, it's difficult to build because we don't know how to build big things anymore.

Check out the autopsy of VC Summer's failure, or the delays at Vogtle, and you won't find any environmentalists to blame. At least I haven't been able to find any hint of that, and if it were possible to blame environmentalists, I would think that the contractor and utility would be screaming it.
Well done. Authoritarianism is alive and well across the political spectrum.
Mental health problems, as said, is not a race. And not everything is prejudice. Racism is supposed to be prejudice because "You can't say there's causal relationship between the race and another specific trait". It is prejudice because it is deemed IRRATIONAL i.e. logical conclusions involving race fail at their very foundational base, race, and are thus logically incorrect. Mental instability though? It is the trait itself. It IS a valid base for logical conclusions regarding the human affected by one. You can claim one does not know enough of a mental illness to make conclusions for one's behavior. But one who does know, can then judge (not pre-judge) accordingly, and logic and truth are by definition not offensive.
The news is not only the lack of understanding of what hacking is and what a security fuck up is. The news is the cowardice of this clown of a governor trying to deflect blame to those reporting the vulnerability. If he is too embarrassed to admit his government's fault, he will be rewarded with twice the embarrassment for reacting like a corrupt despot.

China is a hostile communist nation that has been waging an economic cold war against the USA for decades. The only benefit from the US is a full divorce from any form of economic dependence on China, and anything that facilities shipping more Chinese shit into the USA is a huge net negative.
Nowadays I'd say, to interact with the world in interesting ways, that you also think are useful for other people. This is once you're generally at peace with yourself, which I'm assuming you are.

It's not terribly important that you get everything exactly right as an individual (even if it was possible). The universe is large enough you can get away with your best honest approximation.
Kind of funny that the name of the Apple press contact person for this story on Blender is... Bender.
Fun fact on Dutch names, his wife Karen has the same Sijbrandij, but not due to marriage, but due to them being distant cousins, who found one another on the search function of an early chat client, like ICQ, he once told us. So she could actually call herself Karen Sijbrandij-Sijbrandij.
I don't think I can blame a politician for being technically illiterate, especially one that old. But what the heck is up with the state bureaucrats who report to that guy?

I mean someone it the freaking state bureaucratic hierarchy should at least be lucid enough to consult someone who has an actual clue about things as these.

Re vim: As a hobby developer (a perpetual newbie) the learning curve is an issue for me simply because I don’t yet understand the value in overcoming the curve. “Efficiency” is not one of my programming goals, and so reasons like “vim is great - it’s super fast” have no appeal. So, remembering 80 unintuitive shortcuts just so I can do what I do in Kate, but a little faster? Eh…

'Parson said Thursday that he wasn’t sure why the reporter accessed the information. He claimed it was part of a “political game by what is supposed to be one of Missouri’s news outlets.”'

“I’m going to weaponize the law because you embarrassed us.”
For two tires with equal interior volume, the rolling resistance of a tweel will be much much greater than the rolling resistance of a normal tire.

That said, tweels are typically designed to be much thinner and have much less interior volume than air-filled, in order to close the gap in rolling resistance. So you'd really need to compare a specific model tire against another specific model tweel in tests to know. But my intuition tells me that the rolling resistance will still be worse almost no-matter-what with today's tech.

So that's partly the reason they target lighter vehicles, and that's partly the reason they seem to be marketing around EVs specifically. That extra rolling resistance may be worth a few $s in gas each month vs only a few cents in electricity for the same driving conditions.
Of course he would. It is the typical political response these days. Double down on your mistakes and never accept responsibility on your end. So what if a bunch of SSN's were exposed ? It was only in "View Source" which is hacking . Come on now. /s
It's really because most adults don't have time to tinker like we did, being children and adolescents with computers. When I grew up in the windows xp era, I became the family tech support, and not because I was smart or anything. Just because I had time on my hands, being a child with little responsibilities compared to my parents, to go through the control panel and click every single button and option just to see what it did, so when something did go wrong I had some idea to guess where the fix was to be found. Honestly, I'm surprised I didn't mess things up more often. Fast forward to today, and there is a lot of common software that I struggle with like my parents did 20 years ago because I don't have the time to fiddle like I did 20 years ago. I can't do much of anything on windows anymore, after years of using macos and unix, that knowledge has left my brain and I don't have the time to get it all back.
I will admit that I got a little tinge of resentment when I realized it was an ad/announcement for their app but that quickly subsided when I realized that I would much rather have educational/informative ads like this than the alternative. Even if I don't download their app, I got something useful from this and that's ok with me.

You fault an article for being superficial while yourself only giving a superficial read? I hope you see the irony and reconsider.
After learning some things (see my umask comment etc, elsewhere here on this page, and my way around the FAQs etc), I have found it very useful for my desktop and am happy with it. Even before I learned things like tmux and fvwm, xfce etc worked nicely.

(Having said that, my needs might be atypical.)

Edit/ps: last I knew, it had something like 10_000 binary packages available, in addition to the base system.

Google is a revolving door. It might be biased dem, but I really doubt they don't try to hire people like former generals or intelligence people.

Same thing happened to my wife's laptop as well. As far as I know, Apple included the new certs in an OS update.

They did not issue such an update for older versions of macOS (I forget which version of macOS she's running, but its relatively old).
Maybe they wanted the lower CTE and higher fatigue resistance of the titanium, and one fewer process step to qualify and control (the anodization).
Tannus is the leader right now. I have tried it and I'm fairly comfortable. Again, the number of flats you get in some of the cities in the Bay Area is insane. That makes it worth it.
How dare you did "View Source", you hacker.
Oh shit, I'm reading your encrypted message right now!
Oh, Mastercard and Visa do this systematically. You get redirected to a site whose name I can't remember, that has no apparent relationship with either Visa or Mastercard, that asks you to input some piece of personal info.

I've sometimes aborted purchase transactions with significant value on being confronted by that challenge.

It's a bit like handing your card to a teller, inputting your pin, and then the teller passing you on to some rando asking personal questions.
I’m guessing it went like this…

I think something intermediate between his two solutions could work very nicely. Perhaps a set of competing translation repositories, and asking the user which if any to use. There's still a trust issue with the translations, but that's right the problem we already have with open source, and the downsides are probably more limited security-wise. You could still have the option for the user to supply a translation. Having common schemas that apps commonly target for bidirectional translation increases the odds that you can have serendipitous inter-app translation using only "first-party" translations by going through the common format.
I run Nextcloud in a docker image (on unRaid). Upgrades are a docker pull away too, never had any issues.

I use Nextcloud on my phone (Android) to backup my camera too, the automatic sync is wonderful and works well. It does stuff I don't need too, but it's pretty easy to use and setup and it integrates well with the OS (Windows and Mac at least).
There does not have to exist a solid material with the properties of a gas.
The usage argument is: buy your own "self-hosted" cloud offering, deployed over any combination of AWS/Azure/GCP/onprem that you like.

The bull argument probably looks something like: replace Microsoft Office 365 / Azure with an integrated "self-hosted" solution, easily deployed to any commoditized compute...handled by GitLab for paying customers, assurances of "escape hatch" to DIY open-source when you stop paying.
Openbsd has consistently scored towards the bottom in all performance benchmarks that I've seen in the last few years, when compared to FreeBSD and various linuxen.

Yes, Dang misses some, but I think the idea is that some posts fall through the cracks but if you routinely break the rules, you're going to eventually get flagged/banned. That way, we avoid a lot of false positive flags/bans that would otherwise be unjustly punished on Reddit.

In the case of Pinball, Microsoft released the debug symbols for the game because it was a part of Windows (meaning that there wasn't a need to figure out the function/variable/type information).
I think the challenge with "easily" "possible" and "probable" is that they are imprecise and often very subjective. One person's "possible" could be another person's "probable."

Looking at stats from Nov 2020 for infection fatality rates[1] (I didn't know the difference among infection fatality rates, case fatality rates, and crude mortality rates until after I had read this[2]), a female over the age of 80 who contracts covid-19 had a 5.759% chance of dying, or approximately a 1 in 17 chance. Is that probable or possible? I suppose it might be relative to one's normal chance of dying. Perhaps her odds of dying from breaking her hip are much higher and therefore much more probable, so covid becomes a possible cause of death. But also, that was for 80 and above, so maybe at 100 the odds are much higher than 1 in 17. However, with new monoclonal antibodies perhaps they're much lower.

I think sometimes I struggle to have conversations on accuracy of risk calculations without getting more precision. Yes, I don't think it needs to go into 4 decimal places, as that precision is very hard to achieve in non-engineering settings as you had mentioned. I also think sometimes words can be way too nebulous and imprecise to bring clarity between two people, as I've done a lot of work with language, emotions, and conflict, and very often (how often is very often?), conflict comes down to different interpretations of the same word.

ISP MITM is not low risk, and has been already done by Comcast at the very least in the US to inject warnings about bandwidth caps [0]. And with the horrible security of home routers, ISP provided or not, MITM attacks are highly likely on home connections sourced from botnets and malware attacks on routers.

Define "justified". For most purposes, the market looks at valuation on a relative basis¹.

Their S-1 says GitLab generated revenues of $152 million in FY 2021 (ending Jan 31), up 87% from the year before². For the sake of argument, let's assume their growth rate slows down "slightly" to 50%. That's ~$230 million projected for FY 2022

At $10 billion, that implies a forward revenue multiple of ~43.5x, which does seem high—but it's not necessarily "unjustified". I haven't read the S-1 and the market reaction to the IPO has been quite positive so far. You'd need to know the business and the market well to make your own individual assessment of why it commands this premium multiple. Customers, TAM, growth, churn, competition, etc.

––––––––––

1. For better or worse, relative valuation is viewed as "more defensible". If you're wrong, you can simply say, "well, that's how the market was pricing it at the time" whereas if you are wrong with your intrinsic valuation model (like a DCF), you have no one to blame.

I've found that my bar for investing is the same no matter what kind of company it is -- how quickly can they sell me on investing? As much as us engineers hate to admit it, the most important skill for a founder is the ability to sell. Besides the obvious of having to sell to customers, they also have to sell their vision to VCs, sell their company to potential employees, sell their vision to journalists and potential customers, etc.

If I'm not convinced to invest after one meeting, I usually don't invest. On the other hand, if I'm convinced after five minutes, I'm usually asking where to send the wire by the end of the meeting.

Armory is a good example of an open source/open core company I did invest in. They had me convinced in just a few minutes. They had an answer for every one of my objections and made me feel like I'd be missing out if I didn't invest. And so far they're doing really well and it's one of my best investments to date.

Environmentalism as currently practiced is a liberal issue, but protecting the environment is a deeply conservative notion - the mechanisms by which it is achieved may differ, though.

Margaret Thatcher, a Conservative to her core, raised environmental issues on the world stage and worked for action well before it was a politically fashionable cause.
This design looks to be much less mosquito-breeding-friendly than traditional tires at least. I was shocked when I learned how much "help" discarded tires lend to mosquito breeding.
I think the biggest issue with Facebook I've learned recently is that on the margin their algorithms push you towards seeing things that increases their engagement numbers.

I wish that a conservative outlet would call the governor out. I feel like a thousand articles from Wired, NPR, the New York Times, and the founder of the WWW could all describe in wonderful, simple terms how bombastic and willfully ignorant and hostile this action is, and it would be construed as partisan.
Really? There are small cans of spray which you can have easily with you. Got a flat? Look where, pull it out. Spray the foam in. Turn the wheel for a minute, look for overseen leaks, maybe, and pull stuff out of them. Turn wheel a few more times. Pump. Or use car-adapter for pump at gas station. Those stuff costs between 2 and 4€ for a can of sprayfoam, and maybe 50ct for a small adapter(sugar cube like, but cylindrical). Given the stuff Schwalbe and Continental are offering for normal bicycles, I don't get all the rage. Because a flat fixed like described above lasts about half a year, then the profile is too slick, and I change tire and tube.

Works for me. Feels comfortable and fast. Is economic.

YMMV.

There is no point/ meaning/ purpose. Any of these comes from fictions/ narratives designed by other people and are ultimately very arbitrary. However, this apparent lack of meaning is not a bad thing! Cause any notion of good and bad are also random value systems, and that 'there has to be a meaning to it all' is also a random story.

Unfortunately, we humans quickly loose knowledge. Studies have shown that refreshing knowledge in intervals gives much better results in terms of information/skill retention. So, with high probability we can infer that a student who studied throughout semester is going to retain a lot more knowledge and skills than a student who powered through a course material in a week.

Yes, but as long as you don't realize you're wearing a mask the suffering seems very real. It seems to me there remains a reality to that suffering even when the ego self that suffered ceases to exist and it's unjust to discount it.
On Twitter you can set you account as "offensive" and then all your content will be marked as one
> The author wants to reduce demographic disparities in grades by making grading easier.

No, the author wants final grading to reflect ultimate subject mastery, not (e.g.) be distorted by details of the process by which that mastery was approached. Part of this is reducing demographic disparities, but only those demographic disparities in grading that are artifacts of the system grading for things other than ultimate mastery (including, as the article notes, giving what amounts to bonus on the final grade for coming in more advanced even when there is no difference in final mastery.)

> Producing "equity" as in equal results is not their job.

“Equity”, as used here, is not equal results independent of mastery. It is equal results for equal mastery.

Apple has never had problems with GPLv2. The problem was always GPLv3 and that's why all their GNU tooling was frozen for a very long time at the last GPLv2 version of those tools.

Apple prefers BSD/MIT/Apache because that's just easier for developers to reason about but GPLv2 code that's a standalone binary is generally not a problem. Besides, Blender is a tool you use to generate non-GPL work product. From the perspective of authoring 3d content, GPL doesn't pose any kind of problem for them, even if they also needed to use Blender as part of an automated toolchain somehow for ARVR.
