That's not a very complete representation. When my grandmother died from lung cancer that metastisized to her brain, there was nothing particularly peaceful about the coughing and hacking (sometimes with a fair share of blood) that would send her into fits of convulsions, the tumor induced dementia, etc. Nor the effects that it had on her kids who grew up in an environment of insatiable chain smoking.

> are superior in every way.

Besides the fact that a signify/minisign are a raw key instead of being padded with identity information, in what way are they actually better?

Similarly, minisign makes no claims at identity at all. You get a random string, and the user is responsible for knowing which key is for what user. The minisign public key contains nothing but the key.

To me, that is a horrible user experience.

A PGP public key contains many bits of information besides just the key, and that is how this is even possible.

PGP tools are install nearly everywhere (except windows) by default, while minisign is an extra install.

PGP's web-key-directory is making knowing the right for a user trivial and tamper resistant. IE: https://keyoxide.org/wkd/george%40shamm.as

It's hard for me to see any benefits of minisign really besides key size. Calling it "superior in every way." is straight troll bait.
Copying my previous answer to a similarly bad idea:

“ Browsers run untrusted code 0-24, which get JIT compiled to machine code through a very complex and bug-prone process. Add to that that desktop OSs are quite lacking when it comes to sandboxes, so even with browser sandboxes, the potential for serious damage is quire big.
So, staying ahead of bugs is a must.”

The pad size for external wires might dominate the design for extremely simple designs, however couldn't a combination of these factors help?

* Shrink the average node size 1-2 times (E.G. 180nm to 90 or 45nm)

* Combine popular combinations of products into a single package that can have interlinks cut by laser or skipped at the metal traces stage?

* Generally consolidate similar products within fewer variations?

The slightly greater cost of the physical wafer is supposed to be offset by the increased machine throughput and the die shrinks possible, as well as ideally fewer defects by using newer processes. An extremely inexpensive set of processes for 300mm wafers would also be a good target for long term bulk semiconductor production.

I like that you are specific about technologies that you use and specific about what kind of candidate you don't want. I like the reference to Van Halen's M&Ms. I do that in a lot of project proposals.

It certainly stands out of the sea of nearly identical postings that are written by an HR person who doesn't really know what the technical words mean... and that I can apply without filling out a form.

My suspicion is that candidates aren't getting to it - they never see it. Double check where you are posting it and make sure you are conforming to the expectations there.

Be prepared to back up everything in your listing with details. If I were applying, I would want to dig deep.
The Image File Execution Options's "Debugger" key works in an extremely simple way - it literally intercepts process creation, takes whatever's in the "Debuggers" key, and prepends it to the command-line to run. If that thing is not a Debugger, it means you effectively get to hook whenever a process is created and Do Something.

This is a great way to nerf a program You Don't Like (i.e. corporate antivirus), because you can write `Please Die` (or literally anything really) in the Debuggers line, and because the resulting command-line is invalid, the CreateProcess call simply fails, yet every integrity check for verifying the file still exists and its ACLs are set still pass.
I have an odd, and possibly naive, question. Why wouldn't it be easier ( and cheaper ) to produce hydrogen from water rather than natural gas?
My great uncle used to tell me stories about how he wasn't allowed to eat tomatoes growing up in Massachusetts during the Great Depression. Only Italian immigrants ate them and everyone else thought they were crazy and were slowly poisoning themselves. It's amazing to think how this New World vegetable (fruit?) was (eventually) introduced into American cuisine via Italy.

A new thought: you'd think people back then would just see that it was safe because Italians were eating it and not dying. But then again we seem to still live in an age where facts about what things are safe to take are still under siege.

Yes, but this only accounts for certain limited behaviors, like consumption of substances like food. Other complex behaviors, like learning, are governed by other mechanisms, probably computational models that have evolved.

Again, as a basic example, operant conditioning can't explain how a newly born animal can operate extremely complex biological machinery like quadruped legs. Also, studying animal behaviors in the wild shows other mechanisms of learning, such as curiosity, self-directed play, or imitation. Imitation in particular can show one-shot learning of complex behaviors, without the need for reward mechanisms (for example, chimps and birds can learn how to operate certain mechanisms such as latches after observing someone operate it a single time).

Bringing human learning into all this is mostly a red herring. We can refute operant conditioning as the complete model of how behavior is determined without mentioning humans even once. That is not to say that operant conditioning is not a piece of the puzzle - it absolutely is. But it is far from the final word.
On my 5 year old iPhone SE, I've had the battery replaced twice and the power button replaced by a third party. The Apple-partnered shop actually said they are unable to replace the power button and referred me to the third party, who were surprisingly great (fast + guaranteed that if they wouldn't be able to fix it, I'd only pay a small diagnostic fee). I'm sure by Apple's standards I should have already bought a new phone. I expect to get similar repairs done on my next phone.
Some weird behavior at my employer perhaps. We had several rounds of layoffs during my tenure and they were always announced at an all-hands meeting at 9 AM, announced the same morning.

I still get nervous any time there’s a meeting called for 9. At least they had the good sense to not announce them for the next day.
Just asked a friend about this:

> 1 egg, two slices whole wheat bread, one slice of cheddar, two.. leaves of lettuce ..

and he said it's wrong and useless (!) - giving me examples and numbers as:

protein assimilability from bread is 40% etc.

Is there a way to get correct answers from Wolfram regarding this ?

(assimilability of doesn't work)

Edit: Excuse me, what's wrong with you downvoters - it's a legit question. Or is there something wrong with assimilability?
Are you happy being off with your answers by 60% - or jealous that a human can have better answers?
No you've missed my point, the author seemingly didn't know that ForeignKeys applied indexes by default in MySql. It's not "Concept I didn't understand", clearly they're capable of understanding because they did after they ran into the issue. It's about not having had basic knowledge to begin with.

But he didn't see compiler errors, he caused monetary cost to his employer.

When I deploy something that unintentionally causes a large monetary bill to my employer, then yes I do believe that indicates a gap in knowledge so I don't in anyway believe I'm being uncharitable. Or and this would be worse, a lack of caring. (Which is not what I think happened here though)

I maintain symmetry[1] and wanted to try the benchmark against it, but the results are very inconsistent. Symmetry is anywhere between 50% slower to 20% _faster_ than microdiff on the small object benchmark.

Symmetry doesn't get a lot of activity, but I've been using it in production for many years. It does some more work on array diffing, which this benchmark doesn't cover, by implementing part of Myers' algorithm.

I'm always skeptical of an industry or business being inherently profitable in the context of a public stock/equity market.

Sure, high profitability from the start is possible. But it seems like once you have an ongoing public company, whether growing or stable, the market is going to be pricing in future profits and that the profitability of the stock will tend toward average. Microsoft, Apple and Google, for example, have a tremendous venue stream and good prospects for the future ... so their stock prices are correspondingly high and investing in these stocks shouldn't be inherently better than investing on other stocks.

Each fall, farmers supplied the leaf tobacco. How did they fare economically? Tobacco had the second highest profit per acre of any crop in the world. (Only a grove of an obscure exotic nut was higher.)

Sure, I'm not even sure what matters here. Different land uses produce crops of higher or lower value. Land that can produce higher value crops is quite valuable, sure. So is land in Manhattan.

Tobacco tended to be a monopoly, monopolies get a large revenue per capital invested.

It's simpler to say tobacco was a large, concentrated industry producing an addictive drug. Any industry like tends to produce a lot of revenue per dollar invested and this is because industry leverage their connections or ability to navigate/manipulate regulators and the state.

> Mining safety back then was basically zero.

I don't believe that. People who work in any activity will always learn what's dangerous and take precautions to avoid dying. 2,000 years is not as long a time length as we sometimes think, people then were pretty much exactly like us, except for their culture. And I don't think there's any culture where people don't tend to try to not die.

Is that an intentional reference to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure or just a wonderful coincidence?
Not pushing one way or the other, but it's important to consider the framing: Ignoring the second-hand smoke complexity for a moment, if everyone pays for every one else's health, then of course we should ban or tax cigarettes and/or anything that causes excess harm to a single person that others have to pay for (taxes help cover the externality). However, if each individual pays for the entirety of their own health-care costs, then it is far less obvious what actions should be taken.

To put it another way, if I was in command of an army, I wouldn't allow smoking or various unhealthy or time-wasting activities. China wants a higher GDP: ban all the video games!

This sort of social-engineering is _possibly_ for the best, and possibly for the worse, but I think it's a bit of an injustice to just state "well we all have to pay for each other's health so the policy should be ______". We don't necessarily have to all pay for each others health. Absolutes aside, a smoker should have higher insurance costs than a non-smoker.

If we all had to pay for each others hobbies, for example, you'd bet there would be folks trying to get cloud-watching banned in favor of something productive like knitting. This sort of social planning rarely works out how one expects it to.

> It's difficult to take anyone to take the climate activists seriously when on one hand they say we are heading towards catastrophe and at the same time say Eww to nuclear.

I think for some of us, it's less about 'eww' and more about how foolish is it have near active fault lines or below sea level (like Fukushima, SONGS, Dablo Canyon etc...) where they KNEW it was an issue but did nothing about it. I've lived through the cluster** that was SONGS refurbishment, and eventual decommissioning, it's not something I'd want anyone to have to go through and it was only possible an unmonitored effluence event (typical for that time in 2011) that coincided with the Fukushima disaster.

I've come around the idea that I'm less anti-nuclear and more anti-20th Century Nuclear and it's headlong methods that was backed by GE and it's American Century at all costs type of thinking. Because for years we've been told Thorium reactors were the stopgap between Fusion which was always 'just around the corner' by Nuclear proponents, while many anti-nuclear people (like myself) were helping install PV, smart meters and volunteering where ever possible to decentralize the power grid in order to avoid what has happened in the last 2-3 years in CA with it's repeated outages due to climate change.

I've lived in an anti-nuclear border town in Germany along Alsace, where the roofs are covered in state subsidized PV (it's where I got my first experience with installing it) which is still a net importer of French electricity so I'm well aware of the hypocrisy in some of these cases; what I'm afraid is that with agencies like the NRC and it's poor storage solutions (pay to bury in NV, until they refuse and we have leave it on site in decommissioned plants) it's more a repulsion towards the lack of insight when it comes to regulating and maintaining these plants.

Just Solar alone is a larger part of the energy market share than nuclear from SONGS and DC combined in CA at it's peak [0], and they are having to turn off production (foolish decision) due to having a larger supply than demand. What I think is needed is an entire paradigm shift as to what and how to utilize the energy sources we do have, and consider Nuclear an option of last resort due to the heavy costs, time, and resources it requires. But it should be an option where coal, gas, or other harmful sources are being used and cannot be recaptured. CA is not one of these places given it's wide array of solar, wind and hopefully soon wave energy like in Scotalnd.

It depends on what your need is. I used Maxima (wxMaxima) for a quick prototyping of handwritten formulations and as a reference for some simplifications, roots etc.

Of course, its CAS capabilities are still useful. But I find that simplifications done on paper are often more straighforward, than making some expressions transform into the expected form in Maxima. Also, it's somewhat handy to have the ability to output the formulas in TeX format.

I vaguely remember Maple being more apt at expected simplifications.

Either way, I believe that Sage, Octave, Maxima etc. should be rather supplemental to textbook-based learning. In such way their results won't appear as pure magic, but as somewhat expected outcome of analysis.

> By 2009, game developers will face... CPU’s with: 20+ cores

It seems like he was off by a matter of a few months at most.

I have a quad AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 6172 (Mar 2010) 2U server with 48 hardware cores. This motherboard can also take the 16 core CPU's which were also introduced the following year, which would put it at 64 cores and 128 threads.

The Opteron 6 core CPU's were introduced in June 2009, so a quad server would be 24 cores, or 48 threads.

Of course, that's not cores in a single CPU, if that's what even what the prediction was referring to, but that probably wouldn't matter very much from a gaming dev perspective anyway. It was probably a pretty good guess, all things considered.

> Ideally the author and/or the vendor will also brainstorm ways to make these errors obvious before the high bill. Load testing with realistic data is one way (though people talk about load testing a lot more than they actually do it). Another would be watching for abrupt changes in the operations the billing is based on.

I live in a country where reasonable exceptions are made, and by that I mean "all exceptions that are considered reasonable by even a small group".

One of my children's schools wrote in its weekly newsletter to parents that, I translate, "the […] rules are by now quite intransparent. Of course we don't expect you to memorise all this. Please do ask us if […] or if you just feel uncertain." I am not making this up. "Of course" they don't expect people to learn the rules that apply to them, of course.

There's much to be said in favour of simple rules.

Slaves, plebians, and patricians were very distinct social classes. There really wasn't such a thing as a free servant, with the occasional exception of some freedmen. Roman villas had two separate living areas, one for the owner's family and one for the slaves. We know enough about Roman architecture to identify this as the pars rustica, the slaves' quarters.
Rsyncing the database won't work in many cases, this doesn't ensure your backup is consistent. That is really, really dangerous advice, especially as you might not notice this if you test the process while the database is idle.

For Postgres you either use the pg-dump command and backup the dump or you setup WAL archiving and save base backups and the WAL files as they are created.

This isn't rocket science, but you really should read the manual at least once before doing this. Just copying the files is not the right way to backup a database (unless you really know what you're doing and are ensuring consistency in some other ways).
