It was three months of hoping it would get better with no movement. Then five hours later I could breathe again. So physical stuff happened. I get that placebo effect can do this but still. Coincidence would be rare and I don't think long covid resolves that way, been told it is more gradual. I've heard a lot of similar reports on a covid telegram channel I'm on, same with reddit before it got overrun with trolls. You can tell genuine discourse, especially when its the same people over several days going through the same experience.

None of this is scientific. What was is the safety on it so that made it low risk to try.
Absolutely agree with this. Find the rest within staying in motion.
Yes, some games are being updated. But some games might no longer be getting updates.

Why would 50 countries be rewriting their constitutions ? Only 16 "realms" of the Commonwealth actually have the Queen as head of state.
What is the value of that information? When I’ve looked at older commits, I either want to know about the resulting code or the context (e.g., motivations, discussions). A fixup commit, or some other intermediate commit isn’t useful.

For modern-ish examples of very smart optimization-minded programmers still having to work to fit exceptional experiences into hardware limitations, I recommend Jonathan Blow’s talk about fitting Braid’s time rewind system onto the XBox, Natalya Tatarchuk’s talk on Destiny’s architecture, and Factorio’s blog posts on optimization.
This is Continuous Integration or Trunk Based development, and it often shows up in surveys as being a very effective tactic.

Wizardly Tips Vim (powerful list of tips and tricks)
Lots of cosmetic warts, like combining nothing but CLI flags instead of a subcommand interface or the necessity to use subshells and pipelines to achieve functionality that's native and obvious in other package managers. Some of my favorites kinda suck that way too, though.

Poor support for managing multiple repositories: no facilities for it built into pacman, no notion of vendor (which is useful for managing packages that may be duplicated across repositories, but with different versions or build options), the main repos are small so a huge number of packages you might want to use have an unofficial status that is much more markedly second-class than on other distros (must be compiled from source/no binary caching, installation process is either very manual or requires unpackaged tools).

No support for treatment of past transactions in the CLI for ‘undo’-like behavior or rollbacks.

No tools for managing the behavior of the dependency resolver, like to make upgrades less destructive or to automatically retry solving with more aggressive solutions that involve more downgrades and removals.

No plugin architecture, so additional functionality like integration with CoW filesystems for snapshotting requires wrappers, which is clunky and may not be composable.

No support for declaring a version for pinned packages (just the stateful IgnorePkgs, which says ‘keep whatever I have’) or restricting upgrades based on constraints or classes (e.g., in Gentoo Portage).

And it doesn't really support any of the more interesting recent innovations, like installation/upgrade atomicity, installing multiple versions of things side-by-side, installing packages on a per-user basis, running multiple package management operations at the same time.

But the single most backwards thing is the whole situation with the AUR being in eternal limbo but also a de facto standard due to the small size of the official repositories.

Pacman does have some outstanding strengths relative to most package managers: speed (by a wide margin vs. most distros) and ease of writing packages. Another thing is that if you're unbothered by the awkward status of the AUR (and having to build its packages from source), Arch users don't typically do much repo management.
Just as a nice round example number, let's say someone is effectively paying a 1% fee at time of purchase.

How do you turn that into an interest rate? Stuff at the start of the month and stuff at the end of the month are going to pay interest for different lengths of time. What if they change the timing of purchases?

Let's say you pick an average you're satisfied with. Okay, now you've calculated a rate you need to charge for the first month to match the old fee. You have to charge this specific percentage for the first month to make the math work out. ...but what if that percentage doesn't match the percentage you used to charge after the grace period?

One way to resolve this is to charge a first-month interest rate and a subsequent-months interest rate. But that's not really an "interest rate" anymore, is it? You're just obfuscating the fee, and the goal of this exercise was to make things more transparent.

The other way to resolve this is to have the "interest rate" change every single month, based on the timings of when you did all your purchases. This is just taking the old system and hiding it inside a black box, and that black box spits out an "interest rate" each month.

Unless I'm grossly missing something, there's no way to use just an interest rate to emulate a system of upfront fee plus interest rate. Do you have a suggestion of how to make the math work? Tell me what interest rate could replace "2% fee, 1 billing cycle grace period, 16% interest afterwards". Also tell me what interest rate could replace "0.5% fee, 1 billing cycle grace period, 16% interest afterwards".
Not to mention they may ask for money, if not now then perhaps later.

As a non-Commonwealth person, I don’t really get it. Can someone explain why all these countries keep rejecting the idea of leaving the Commonwealth? The people keep doing it.

Even as vassal states it is such a loose assurance of defense from the UK.

This kind of “what city is the best?” question isn’t very useful. There is a kind of efficient market phenomenon which causes all cities within a country to be nearly equivalent to the median person once you take into account cost of living, crowds, traffic, etc - if one place is clearly better than others, people will move there until it’s not. The key is to estimate your particular comparative advantage with respect to each city - do you want music, walkability, safety, climate, ambitious people, etc? Figure out what you value more and less than other people value, and then move to the place that aligns with those preferences.

I started off shucking drives but one failed and even after getting a RMA shipping label it was unclear if it would actually be honored under the warranty. IMO it is not worth the hassle to shuck drives plus the bare drives typically have longer warranties as well.
There's also a graph debugger that allows you to step through the dependency graph node-by-node across the various globally distributed databases.
Fine. About that specific bit, I was wrong. The point of substance was that a bios update has to be applied. The headline as written is misleading by omission
that's not what it says.

it says that while you wait for the software patch to filter through ordinary distribution channels, you can enable a feature that's already in your BIOS which (after you reboot) will allow you to use the scroll lock key.
Yeah it does appear to be a crap article.
sure and certainly between species neuron density may vary wildly resulting in some smaller being smarter than other larger.
The researchers wisely made claims on what they have, and that does not include neuron density over eons within our species nor paleo intelligence tests in general.

But being a poster child of typical myself I can't help but suspect the most parsimonious result is (statistically) larger cranial capacity affords higher intelligence potential all other things e.g, neuron density, being equal.

Half a moment of cherry-picking web search results for
"cranial capacity and intelligence in mammals"
turns up "External Measures of Cognition" [1]
which "surprise!" agrees.

Scroll Lock is just a special toggle for the Legacy Game Compatibility Mode - you need to turn it on in BIOS. Then you can control E-cores using Scroll Lock.
This is even happening in video games now. See Gameface for example.
This is what I heard too.
When I brought up GP's exact point a while back, apparently it's quite common now for big releases to have DRM that lasts for 6+ months before being cracked.

> I feel similar about Markdown (though I won't call it user hostile). Because there were and there are better and accessible/uncomplicated alternatives.

I don't know; all of the lightweight markup formats are a mess. AsciiDoc/AsciiDoctor is almost great but they seem to have completely borked escaping of inline punctutation[1]

Restructured Text is very "meh" but is better than markdown because directives at least make it more sanely extensible. The downside is it's missing lots of features in its core becase "you can just use a directive"

Markdown was actually pretty good for its original purpose (write html with fewer html tags), but completely falls down for its current common use case (untrusted user input, where you won't allow the user to fallback on html).

This looks amazing. Thank you for sharing.
I got into 1400-1600 on lichess relatively quickly but I did that by taking about 15 private lessons with an IM and doing a lot of puzzles. He taught me a solid opening that I played going forward which allowed me to beat opponents in that 1400-1600 range and then I basically staled playing the same thing over and over with anyone in the higher ratings not having hard time to counter. Getting past that required significant investments in time and effort.

With that I found that it's about that range when playing chess reaches diminishing returns. Everything useful it can teach you about life at a reasonable cost you'll probably know by then. Going forward is more about, well, getting good at a board game. Plus, there's a risk of loss as chess can screw with your head.

I's much rather invest time into something like Brazilian Jiu Jitsu which contains all components of chess, has real life application and keeps you fit, social and sane.
This is something I just fundamentally disagree with. There are far more examples of good democracies with indirectly elected presidents and far more examples of directly elected politicised presidents, than would let me be optimistic for your model.

Plus, I think you misunderstand the role of a symbolic president, they are not meant to be the arbiter of fit laws passed in vote by parliament.
I kinda hope you’re being sarcastic, but it doesn’t sound like it, so I’ll respond with a straight face. Why would anyone ever want to capture typos, especially if they never got saved? I definitely don’t want that kind of pure noise when I review changes.

The context & argument you’re repeating here but either missing the true essence of, or teasing about, is the view that since git rebase edits commit history it is bad. The Fossil devs have long been advocating this view using hyperbolic language like saying git is ‘lying’. This unfortunately incorrect framing stems from Fossil having different goals and assumptions than git, and the Fossil devs projecting their dogmatic views on their perceived competition.

But… even the Fossil devs are not actually advocating capturing every single keystroke.
Wait, I think we’re missing the obvious: Mongrel
Then, politeness suggests you ask if you’re thinking about it.
Windows on early multi-cpu machines did, I think they still do for multiple physical cpus.
If you gave an elected official outside of parliament the power to veto legislation they would have a lot more power than the governor general now wields in practice.

While royal assent is technically a power held by a GG they don't actually wield it in practice, once that power were given to an elected office then the elections would become about the use of that power and the role would be very different.
> I don't believe we should adapt defaults to fit a single digit percentage population. I'm not dyslexic and the fonts suggested are horrible to read in my opinion. I'm totally for the option to set different fonts as default so dyslexic users have an easier life, but the global default should not be changed because of this.

This philosophy is based on the red-hot idea that the protecting the needs of someone in the majority is as important as doing it for the minority.[0] It also sets up the false dichotomy, part of the same rhetoric, that it's one or the other, them or me.

It's not the same at all: The majority doesn't need protection: Almost everything is built for and by the majority; the engineers, executives, funders, and reviewers are generally in the majority; everything they do is from that perspective, automatically. Including people who aren't in the room is a real effort. Also, there's productivity, stress, and basic equality: Almost everything people in the majority encounter is built for them. If you are in the minority, your day is filled with obstacles, problems, and ignorance, which not only slows you down but wears you down; it pushes you to the margins and makes you an outsider.

It's not a zero-sum tradeoff; you can help both groups. And generosity toward those who need it is a virtue; it's about justice and fairness, and their freedom to maneuver in society. I'm not sure what to call generosity toward those who have the power.

[0] Really, rather than majority and minority, we should be saying those with power and those without, but that adds another dimension to the conversation.

Assembly language is actually much simpler than even C, much less Lua or JS or Python. It just takes a lot more work to get anything done: five times as much code that's twice as hard to debug per line. Roller Coaster Tycoon is an incredibly impressive achievement, but not because writing it required memorizing a lot of occult trivia. It didn't. It just required effectively using the stuff you have available.
Interestingly, Linux's OOMKiller actually gives you (the sysadmin or system designer) more control over what happens when the system is low on memory than disabling overcommit.

In a system without overcommit, every process is taking memory out of the shared pool, until some random process is the unlucky one that can't allocate more. In a happy case, that unlucky process also has some data that it can let go of. But this is entirely random - you could have a bunch of gigabyte-sized application caches in half of your processes, but the NTP daemon might be the one who cends up failing because it can't allocate a few more bytes. Even worse, it could be the SSH server or bash failing to spawn a new shell, preventing any kind of intervention on the system.

With OOMKiller, you can at least define some priorities, and ensure some critical processes are never going to be killed or stalled.
Slime molds have three distinct phases. One phase is basically a distributed network of cells that communicate chemically. These signals can indicate when it is time to change form (transform!). Sounds like this is an extension of that in-between form.

There is a fantastic book that talks about this kind of emergent intelligence in slime molds, called--ironically--"Emergence: The Connected Lives of Ants, Brains, Cities, and Software".

The first 1/4 of the book is about the freakiness of slime mold. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, very well written and accessible and covers multiple domains (a lot like G.E.B.); Link to non-amazon:

"as a "lay" person you have to trust the system that this shot was produced properly, tested properly, stored properly, and administered properly"

Like most people, I have done this for dozens of drugs developed during my lifetime. Until it became politically charged I never saw much pushback. How many years had Cialis or Claritin or Wellbutrin been in use before people starting taking them without a second thought? And those drugs likely had much smaller trials.
The editorialized title is purposely vague, making it sound like this is an unexpected bug, when it is, in fact, not a bug at all.

That's clickbait.

Went through that with Win7 a few times. Eventually found a way to disable.

do they pay for having a Queen? If not than they get that for free, and if it costs nothing than why not?

>their laws can be overriden at any time

only in theory. I think the key to such a successful survival of the English monarchy is their understanding of the limits of their power - granted that understanding came as a result of almost losing it all back then. Yet they were the only one who survived the WWI - and i think it is no coincidence that their power was the most limited compare to the failed monarchies of Russia, Austria, Prussia.

I'm kind of fascinated by the steel will and nerves of the Queen who is maintaining that image of "granny" and is making sure to not show any teeth - and thus she is accomplishing the grand task of the survival of the monarchy on her watch. It it like the only thing that keeps her going is the high chance of failure of the monarchy if Charles gets the crown and she just can't let that happen.

A village in nature less than an hour travel from a city with an airport. Done that for 2 decades in different countries (pt,es,hk,nl) and it is perfect (also: cheap). I like cities for a day or 2 and then I cannot imagine why anyone wants to be in one; I had that since I was a kid (my parents say I asked when I was 7 why people would want to live in NYC when we went on holiday there).
How interesting. As I read it, those paragraphs are quite neutral -- the author seems to be contrasting without any overt judgement. I can imagine a reader similarly taking offence at a perceived celebration of the noted absence of modern feminism in the women's works. But personally, I strive to read an author's words, not their mind.

At one time, presenting differing viewpoints was considered a hallmark of good journalism. I'm not wont to wist for a bygone era; perhaps I am getting old after all.
