> If you were quick to get vaccinated, and then later found out that people who are vaccinated are still contracting, spreading and dying from the virus after being vaccinated

Deniers like you see this and conclude that the vaccine as useful as salt water. Studies show there's less chance of contracing, spreading and dying with the vaccine than without.

People still die in car accidents even though modern cars have ABS and airbags, so, maybe car manufacturers should just get rid of those things and sell cheaper cars, right?
Or the giant person holding that iron wrong in a stock photo.
Sort of, but exponentially worse.
Well yes, they don't want you to generate code sand then sell for less than you sell at steam because that's a suicide level business model for them. But you can still sell the codes yourself without cost to you. I don't understand why what you're saying is relevant.

Weird take. The distinction you make between investor and manager completely ignores the context: he invests in yes-men, and doesn't invest in people who he deems idiots because they disagree with him. The common feature of 'manager' and 'investor' is that they have power.
I've found jax's debugging to be in different ways better and worse. The fact that the function transformations are traced is great. It means you can step debug in the tracing steps just as well as the actual eval steps, and you just have jaxpr.Tracers instead of jnp.ndarrays, or whatever. Outside of the transformations, it's just as easy to debug as numpy, which is a blessing. That's one of the biggest selling points.

Debugging jitted and pmapped code, on the other hand, is a pain. Since you can always step out of them to debug, it means that it's debugging performance issues that sucks. And boy does it suck. If anyone knows a good story for figuring out why my jitted thing is slow as hell on TPU, I'm all ears. The profiling section of the official docs is one of their weaker sections. (but big props to the overall documentation quality!)

Maybe that's the point. Unlike with today's people, you can't know for sure the intentions behind archeological finds. Calling something "ritualistic" in archeology seems more likely to be correct, as not all social rituals are religious in nature.

FWIW, a lot of our structures are basically for rituals.

Large stadiums are for spectators to observe the best football players as part of yearly ceremonial games.

Certain parks are for ceremonial gatherings on certain time of years, where we put traditional ritual ornaments (e.g.: christmas decoration).

It's just the OUR rituals have names and we don't think of them as rituals, but we have plenty of things that are ritualistic and ceremonial: the olypmics, new year, halloween, easter, friday drinks at the office, birthday parties, etc.
From my perspective, it has some great new features. WSLg and WSA, for example.

>It seems like exclusively new requirements and zero new features over Windows 10.

I'm confused by your statement. Were you trying to be snarky or were you commenting without actually informing yourself regarding the two OSs? Because the difference in features between Win 10 and 11 is just a quick Google search away.

Most proeminent features for Windows 11 are an updated scheduler tailored to big.little architectures like the new Alder Lake from Intel and Direct Storage for games, a rebranding of the same feature from Xbox One and PS5.

Yes, Windows 11 is pretty useless over Windows 10 if you have a previous gen system, but if you're buying a brand spanking new PC with Alder Lake or Direct Storage and are a hardcore gamer then it makes sense to go directly to Windows 11 to get the new shiny features (provided you experience no bugs on 11 that haven't been ironed out yet).

There are some other nice touches in Win11 like WSLg and the OS restoring your windows positions on multi monitor setups as they were between an undock - dock cycle of your laptop.
I am not sure he threw an exact figure but it is his money regardless of what percent of the investment it represents.

> you already have a communication breakdown and mistrust has already blossomed

Or you haven't had the time and chance to build up communication and trust. That takes a long time, it's perfectly natural that it would take many months to a few years for somebody to feel perfectly safe in their relationship with their managers
I still think there’s a problem. If they are smart enough to go through the infamous circles of interviews at the fucking google and be deemed worthy, then work through the circles of immigration hell, and then you see they are working hard but not smart enough, I dunno, have you tried talking to them? It’s not like they became stupid overnight.

Here's one strategy for solo freelancers. Search Google with

If you want something more local you can try:

site:*.co.uk/contact.php intitle:Bedford

This will tend to produce old sites developed with raw PHP or classic ASP and which aren't responsive. Even so, a direct email offering to fix/upgrade won't usually get a reply but an initial customer enquiry has a much better chance after which you can segway into offering services.

The context is very clear the comparison to other languages, when it is clearly the fact that Clojure was designed with no backwards compatibility to these mentioned languages. It was not a matter of a list of things on that page, but the break with the prior languages was much more radical.

The 'correction' you made is an entirely different issue.
Yes, which sucks. But I also wonder how much of the resurrection of PC gaming came from increased sales due to the lack of a secondary market and convenience of digital distribution.

Loss of that market segment could be a local minima for customers while the market as a whole improved to their benefit: more games, more conveniently.

Nonetheless I don't like that I don't quite actually own my games. While GOG doesn't allow transferring games to another user, you at least own it and can save a backup if the installer. In theory that means you could even go on the "honor system" and loan or give the game to someone else and not use it yourself anymore.
Still, it's probably safer than farming

This is so great, I wish Bazel had a section in its README with this info. Thank you
There’s a lot of conjecture in this thread so I might as well throw in a couple cents.

Mold is saprophytic so it’s more often than not advantageous to grow toward larger stationary objects in its environment to eat.

The stack of discs deformed the agar gel, the mechanoreceptors on the periphery hyphae detected the tiny deformation and set off a chemical cascade for growth in that direction.

What if the substrate is lumpy and harder than agar? The researchers disabled the mechanoreceptors and there was no “mass detection”. If there’s no deformation in the substrate by discs on a hard bumpy surface then I’m guessing those mechanoreceptors won’t detect the mass.

So mold uses gradient deformation of mechanoreceptors to move toward possible food sources.
Perhaps I don't have the skills for doing that?

I gave micro a try because I thought it looks like a nice and somewhat intuitive text editor, but I regularly need the “insert file” function.
I'm partially trained in anthropology and would love to provide some insight. While terms like 'ritual' and 'ceremonial' certainly indicate religious undertones, they are delineated in an anthropological context.

For example, an anthro operational definition for 'ritual' would be "actions with intentional symbolic meaning undertaken for a specific cultural purpose", where the cultural purpose could be childhood development (rites of adulthood), religious as previously mentioned, or perhaps just a fun activity within the society.

I say all of this but understand that this article isn't necessarily geared towards only anthropologists, and operational definitions may be in order. Just my 2cents

It's technically possible to use a mobile voice channel for dial-up, but very difficult. The GSM voice channel bandwidth is 2400 baud, and it's a lossy-compression codec. In the best case you'd get around 1kbps. But you could try it... disassemble an old Nokia, hook the mic and speaker up to a circuit that regulates the voltage and resistance to that of a phone line off the hook, and hook that up to an old analog modem (or use some software to make your computer's sound card act like an analog modem and skip the line regulator). I'm sure someone has tried this but I can't find it from googling.
One thing I came to like very much about Fossil is that on Windows, the whole thing is just a single executable file, just drop it anywhere in your %PATH%, and you're good to go.

The builtin web interface is very nice, too.

I have since had to switch to git at work, and after discovering magit I don't think I'd want to go back. But Fossil has been very pleasant to use.

I don't disagree, but I think it's more about establishing a good rapport where statements like "let's talk" can be informative and not just confusing. If you trust your manager and have good communication with them, "let's talk" should get you worried. Management obviously has a power advantage, but good managers that communicate effectively know how to become reliable signals, even when they aren't in a good position to divulge more information. In other words, I take it that the problem OP raised is not "don't signal that bad news is coming" but rather "don't put out confusing signals." If you are a manager, and you say to someone "let's talk" and they can't figure out how to interpret that - they can't figure out whether they are about to be fired or whether you simply want to ask them about such-and-such - you have already done a bad job at establishing a rapport. A good manager, who has established good communication, can use a carefully placed vague statement to communicate that something unpleasant is coming.
Munger is suggesting a more expensive but less durable housing solution. The money was going to make housing anyways, he is using his influence insofar as clout and 17% of the funding to make buildings that most people won't be able to live in for very long, at prices that are higher than normal.

It's a loss even on those terms.
Well, many ancient structures align with sunrise on Equinox: the day where the earth is perfectly aligned with the sun and not tilted (that is: neither hemisphere is closer to the sun than the other). This is the exact middle day between the longest day of the year and the shortest day of the year.

Others have a similar alignment on summer Solstice or winter solstice (the longest and shortest day of the year respectively)

It _may_ be a coincidence, but I don't think any modern building has a window on both sides of the building where the sun rises on summer solstice and shines straight through both windows. If we do have any such buildings, I'm fairly certain it's by design.

OTOH, there's some ruins where it aligns with sunrise on _some_ random day, and that just feels like a coincidence. Like dropping a pencil on the floor and claiming the direction in which it points has some special meaning -- if you look hard enough, you'll find a meaning to give to it.
Going on a tangent here, the decision for a consumer whether to adopt Win11 aside, it seems to me the whole raison d'être for Win11 rather than continuing to build on Win10 is exactly the additional requirements. They likely want laptops being sold running Win11 to have sane security capabilities for corporate use out of the box. Other that that there's no reason why they can't continue building on Win10.

It's basically set-and-forget. Just download Steam from your preferred package manager, and all of the verified Proton titles should be playable without manual intervention. If you want to open up Proton to all your Windows games, you have to enable it in Settings > Steam Play. ProtonDB is your best friend, but besides that it's fairly easy to get up and running. Props to Valve for removing the friction, here!
I sometimes see the argument "fusion produces more energy per mass than fission, therefore fusion is better than fission."

This is a completely dumb argument.
Why Are There Upper Case and Lower Case Letters? [video]
That seems to rely on the school of thought that "there's no such thing as bad publicity". Perhaps you're right, and someone could be skilful enough as president to create crises, despite their limited power, and also trick people into thinking that the crises are someone else's fault, and still somehow able to take the credit when they solve these crises.

On the other hand, I think such a belief requires one to hold quite a low view of the public and democratic processes generally. You might say that experience supports such a low view, but I would counter that it applies equally, or more so, to the status quo, where all power is held by the prime minister, who has every incentive (and much greater ability) to create these crises (especially just before elections) and tell the country that they have to unite behind the government to survive.

The fact that such a strategy is already possible under the current system just confirms to me that there needs to be different roles, held by different people, with different incentives, to stop these extreme edge cases. I think that what is self-evident is that concentration of power leads to abuse, while diffusion of power leads to moderation and representativeness.
Publishers did not want to have to refactor their page templates with a bunch of AMP markup to please Google.

For most companies, it was a question of whether they were OK risking being left behind if other publishers got favourable treatment running stories on AMP validated pages.

This comes back to Google's domination of both search and Adwords. And it comes back to the unfortunate reality that people don't want to subscribe or otherwise compensate websites for putting out information for free.

One of the things that I'm betting is true here is that most of us don't have any _detailed_ information about the building. Charlie Munger says: I never allow myself to have an opinion on anything that I don't know the other side's argument better than they do.” Whether he always adheres to this or not, I don't know, but as someone who has become one of the wealthiest men in the world, I have to believe he has excellent judgement.

As for windowless rooms: Monastics live in windowless rooms. Teenagers sometimes prefer shutting out all natural light. Most of the work environments I worked in for 40 years didn't have windows where I could look out. Everybody that lives in this dorm will have some level of choice as to whether to be there or not. The building is not windowless, it has (many) windowless rooms. Part of the tradeoff is that each student gets a room of their own. Sharing a space with someone you don't like sucks, I can say from my own experience.
I’ll name names: I can’t use Safari to log into a website that uses Auth0 because its authorization flow depends on cookies working the way Chrome wants them to. I’m using Safari’s default cookie settings and not going out of my way to disable or block them. Their notes give instructions on how to “fix” Safari by disabling ITP, which I’m not gonna do.

We need to use the business website that Auth0 logs us into, but I’m not touching Auth0 until they fix their stuff to work with more privacy-respecting browsers. I can appreciate how difficult that may be from a technical point of view, but as an end user, no thanks.
There is an infinity of solutions for any building program. Eliminating windows solves a couple of problems, but creates many others. Throughout human history, windowless cells have been reserved for very few situations, such as extreme punishment, or a cheap cabin on a Disney cruise (arguably overlapping cases).
