It's pixel-exact if you use unicode half blocks but pixel-exactness is meaningless if you scale the image or video to fit it in the display. You can gain higher resolution using the unicode block elements since it effectively grants four quasi pixels with two colors, in which case you can use some kind of nearest neighbor search to figure out which combination most closely approximates the 2x2 pixel chunk of the image. Where the math gets turned up to 11 is if you limit yourself to a 256 or 8 color palette and you want to use the shade blocks to blend colors like the dos days since that's difficult to accurately model. Last time I checked the techniques based on the cielab δe or din99d are the current state of the art. Some terminals like gnome-terminal avoid it entirely by simply not displaying shade blocks at all, and instead substituting them for solid blocks where the color blending is performed naively in software.

To provide a counterexample: I had a still-in-warranty EVGA 1080 that had a fan die. They cross-shipped me 3(!) bad cards in a row that were clearly returns they hadn't tested (two had obvious physical damage upon arrival in pristine boxes), and on the final card that sort-of worked (a 2070 I had to underclock to stop blue-screening), never acknowledged my return of one of the previous bad units, even though I sent them shipping proof from the UPS store.

When I tried to get the 2070 replaced, they refused unless I paid full retail price for a defective card I had proof I'd returned.

I really regretted buying from them at that point, and wished I just had my original card back, which they couldn't provide.

You could in theory keep it fully offline but at some point you are likely to accidentally allow it network access or want to update the driver and if that happens, the card is bricked. It also makes the cards completely worthless on the second hand market.
I’m glad to hear that. I never interacted with the intro calculus course there. My impression is that most intro calculus courses around the US today still use some book like Stewart, Larson, or Thomas, and still teach in traditional lecture style.

In poking around I am also glad to see they switched from Griffiths’s to Townsend’s book for intro QM. Much more conceptually clear with less focus on mindless computation. (Disclaimer: I went to high school with Townsend’s daughter.)

I wonder if anything similar can be done for the undergrad electrodynamics course, which was more or less an experiment of “how many gnarly multiple integrals can you grind before burning out?”

As in not throwing exception or as in evaluates to true?

> exit code is > 0

You refused to get into specific exit codes for specific programs citing potentially surprising behavior (which I agree will sometimes be an issue).

> STDERR in ('false', 'no', 'off', 'fail', 'failed')

I correlated this with the following source code:

> if len(s) == 0 || s == "null" || s == "0" || s == "false" || s == "no" || s == "off" || s == "fail" || s == "failed" || s == "disabled" { return false

... which also has a potential for surprising behavior. (side note: appears to work on stdout, not stderr)

> or []byte(STDERR) > []byte(STDOUT)

Does that mean len(stderr) > len(stdout) ?

... also has a potential for surprising behavior. I can easily imagine a program with lots of debug/warnings/log on stderr and truthy/non-error output.

> STDERR messages are useful for functions that return a message rather than exit code.

Might be problematic because typically exit codes are used for that.

> where `if` is evaluating the result of `which` and you don't need to do more complex tests like you would in Bash to test the output of `which`.

Mmm.. Never did this. In which situation looking just at exit code of `which` is not good enough?

> if { which: foobar } else { err: "foobar is not installed }

Just to show off :) in NGS that would be:

if not(Program('foobar')) {
error("foobar is not installed")
}

or sometimes just

assert(Program('foobar'))
True, but tech is not the dominant industry in all areas, and industries needing IT are not strictly limited to tech companies -

blaming education administrators specifically for not having enough funds to pay competitively is drastically different than saying there is a structural problem with the local economy such that only industry X can competitively source IT talent.

in these conversations, comparing tech job X vs other job Y is relevant, because we are talking about 'jobs and wages within local economy as a whole'

This would require some significant trial, design, study. My first question is are people who are willing to use a toilet publicly exposed actually likely to use it vs just some quiet street. And there are still plenty of ways to ruin a utilitarian toilet like shoving trash in and blocking the drain. At the very least most people can admit that the problem is more complex than simply dropping in some public toilet blocks.

You have to consider these things because there are more than enough people willing to destroy things simply for the purpose of destroying them.

With asking questions I meant simple things like just notice that particular statements are a bit too simple.

I have consumed my fair share if theory from an array of sources hung up on their particular take. My take away so far is that we understand pretty little. Any particular prescription is more or less just extrapolated from rather naive statistical correlations. The current understanding is good enough to reproduce those correlation when treating particular deficiencies or diagnosing certain metabolic dysfunctions but besides that they mostly say “healthy people tend to eat such and such”

I mean desperate measures like bariatric surgery a thing. One of the most effective treatments against obesity to be sure, but not really indicative of field with shit together.

Adaptive clearing was transformative to me.

I have a low-cost CNC (X-carve) that has serious stiffness problems that I don't want to fix. Adaptive clearing has allowed me to do far more successful cuts in reasonable time.

True, it depends on how you measure things, and I was speaking mostly in comparison to western Europe.

Case in point, the right wing party in the Netherlands (VVD) that has ruled for a long time now, is fully in favor of a livable minimum wage, universal healthcare, accessible education, advanced safety nets for the unemployed and disabled. The issue of abortion has been solved in the 70s. They may tweak these systems to be more bare bones, but don't want to abolish them.

So that's our right wing. Far more progressive than the US democrats, which in this comparison would even come close to the far right. So the perspective matters, but to me there's one absolute point of view: without a livable wage and universal healthcare, the very word "progressive" shouldn't even be used. Without this foundation, you're OK with letting working people starve, or to let a sick person go bankrupt or die. Many countries wouldn't even call these basics progressive or left wing, they are found in deeply capitalistic and conservative societies across the world.

The woke in the US are an interesting case. They really are left wing, right now embedded in a democratic party that is comparably conservative. I smell conflict on the horizon.

Those are not reasonable. You may think they are, but there are obviously people who disagree.

Also, the vaccine and masks may have been a reasonable ask, but it is not a reasonable mandate! Once mandates started kicking in, and politicians started saying "The voluntary phase is over" while not following their own rules, then they became unreasonable and definitely not "asks".

Also, we have had far worse pandemics and have not had those "asks".

I think it also just depends on the person. I've been in workplaces that felt great to me, and seen people leave because they found it sucky.

Similarly I have also left due to suckiness despite some people seeming to enjoy themselves. Though of course that may just be an act.
> That is a risk that is common to every single industry, and as such is a risk that is easily understood and quantifiable.

Honestly: No

If it would be "easily quantifiable", you would not see in 2021 still bank ATM running damn Windows XP or nuclear power plant under Win2000 with some old deprecated crap supervisor tools.

It is a common drama with proprietary solutions, they are seducing to install and a nightmare to maintain.

This even more due to the decision to use these "vertically integrated proprietary (crap) solution" are generally taken by executive level without any long term thinking and that will be long way gone when the mess need to be cleaned-up
The problem here is that many assume that they get to remain on Catalina or Big Sur (and before, Mojave) and enjoy full security, while waiting out the bugs on the new version. It's seen as "responsible" to stay on Big Sur, for example, until macOS 13 is released next year, and only then install Monterey, to let the public beta test it for you. Unfortunately with Apple, that's not true.

That's fine; Apple's under no obligation to have perfect security updates for older versions, and I believe many Linux distros, including the main ones (Ubuntu and Debian comes to mind, though from a while ago) have similar issues with poor backporting of security patches.

I just think more tech people should be aware of this. Now, the "responsible" thing, apparently, is to wait a week or two to see if a major update is bricking devices, and install it if not; and to install minor updates immediately. That would come as a surprise to many people who see themselves as Mac experts, who are more likely to delay updates. Tons of companies also delay updates for many months.

Apple should communicate more on this; and they should consider changing their update schedule. Windows doesn't release a new version every year; you'll run into this issue less than twice a decade, compared to yearly for the Mac.
Your wife is correct to be angry. I can relate to your comment - my gf is likewise suffering from long COVID.

I can also totally understand why a neurologist would suggest CBT, because as you say, they find nothing, and thus have nothing else to offer.

But it's clearly not just psychosomatic, so think-yourself-better like CBT can hurt and will hurt, because it won't work.

Current thinking - among numerous researchers (and fwiw, her specialist) - is that endothelial damage is causing long covid symptoms. There is some progress towards identifying the cause, if not the treatment, yet.

Hope that helps some.

It's great you're reading up on it. I would however, exercise caution as to what falls under "Islamic banking". From spending quite a bit of time reading up on it, many present day "Islamic banking offerings" aren't Islamic. They're simply ways to dance around the issue. What I'm saying isn't something controversial, I've talked to people, including a well known scholar who confirmed that to me. When there is a lot of money involved, things can go bad, and corporations with the most money and potential to profit can end up getting their way. Like seriously, a usurious bank like HSBC can offer a traditional mortgage product and an "Islamic financing" product side by side? Give me a break.

Note however, that this does not affect Islam one bit. True and honest scholars will always call out such actions, and they have been.

That being said, yes, at the core, true Islamic finance is about true and proper risk sharing, and reward sharing. Want to open a business? Get someone, or a group of people to fund you. They put in the money and you put in the risk. If it succeeds, you both share the rewards, if it doesn't, you lost the time and effort, and they lost the money. This is a very straight forward example.

Under Islamic law, lending money is only to be done as a purely charitable act, as the lender cannot benefit from the loan - either monetarily or in a non-tangential manner even. The general ruling is as follows: any loan that brings a benefit to the lender is Riba (can be loosely translated as usury). Riba involves more than the usury or interest that are done today by banks, it also includes things like buying gold on credit (Riba), or exchanging silver for silver of non equal amounts (also Riba).
Election irregularities are regular enough that fraud should be a plausible conjecture. Maybe the implicit goal is to limit obvious fraud enough to only make a difference in very close elections when the elect do not receive a big mandate one way or another and to maintain the fiction of votes making a difference.
