The latest iPhones came with a LIDAR feature installed. Literally people paying for technology that can scan a room and report back to (who knows) anyone that has access to the device's telemetry. In the future, apps like TikTok, FaceBook, Meta and whatever can simply access the scanner, or the data storage from the device and have access to a wealth of information on any user they want.

Facial recognition is just the surface of a festering violation of individual user privacy. Once these companies manage to capture data, it has value for years into the future even if it is shut down at any point later.

Indeed, our privacy rights have already been violated and owned... Privacy should be protected by law at the source of data collection -- THE DEVICE LEVEL -- not just at the app level. Phones, Cameras, ATMs, Cars, etc... The devices and apps that we pay for and use (respectively), should not enable data collection that can be used against us in any way for extortion or manipulation, especially in incriminating circumstances. Current law provides for protections about this to an extent, but courts are still not educated and active enough, and the laws are fairly weak in specificity to properly enforce those standards.

I obey the law, but even the simplest data gathered by companies on us can become a means of manipulation or extortion that companies can use over time against us covertly. Think about private/personal data use in determining bank loans, job opportunities, court cases, and in health insurance. Possibly the biggest crime is that we're eagerly lining up to pay for the devices and sign up for apps that aid the corruption at higher costs overall than ever.

I think there is a risk of developing a superstar cult if the authors name is in the title. I also don’t like titles like “Harvard scientists have found X”. Suddenly the article gets more credibility because if “Harvard”. Although in reality the big name institutions are putting out as much BS as everybody else.
I have also see some sites that are also using a pattern where you either accept their tracking of you or you can't use the site at all, they just block the content or send you to a useless site. That isn't legal either, consent has to be something people actively give and not giving it can't be a reason to reject service. Quite a lot of gyms are getting this wrong in regards fignerprints, they don't get to force that mechanism on you and deny you access if you wont provide it.

I'm not going to pretend the current bureaucratic approach is ideal. I'd say though that there is a difference between supporting long term national research capability, and flexibly deploying money to urgent or new areas (and everything between).

It's not like there has been a shortage of covid related research in the last ~2 years. Machine learning, quantum computing, all have piles of money pouring in from industry. And somewhere, some long-suffering career researcher is toiling in some area the rest of us ignore, that will be super important somehow in 10 years.

There's definitely room for streamlining processes, and making them apolitical, even if bureaucratic. But institutional inertia has an upside too. Fundamental research is a very long game.

Go has concurrency, but I would hesitate to call goroutines an async abstraction (it is a `spawn` abstraction) because it lacks a built-in way of returning the retval of the called function (no await); you must implement that yourself with channels. Last I checked, which to be fair was about 5 years ago, go did not give you a generic way to do this with the standard library either, probably because it... Requires generics.
Hmm, that is a good idea; thanks. I don't have a CS degree so this is one of those areas where I don't know what I don't know.

In the summer, I managed to have my apartment at 800ppm. But come fall we need to close the windows since it's too cold outside and 1200ppm is the new normal.

I open all the windows once a day to create a draft and it drops to 600-800ppm. But by then, I need to close them all again to reheat the apartment. This has the side effects of getting rid of all the humidity in the apartment and then the heating makes the situation even worst.

Most people I know go the entire winter without ever opening any windows. I wonder what their CO2 levels are.
I wasn’t clear. I’m not suggesting sitting through treatment, I meant the monthly 17 second visit with the oncologist. Often mom wasn’t completely accurate in describing her condition or side effects. It’s useful for someone else to be there to help the MD get an accurate picture, and to remember what was said afterwards.
So, personally speaking, my mother has had breast cancer - and my dad has gone through a hat-trick. Prostate cancer in his mid fifties, kidney cancer about two years ago (in his seventies) and a pretty slow moving lung cancer about six months ago (that won't get him for quite a while so we're not doing anything about it). For my mother the cancer was caught early but still resulted in a mastectomy - an operation that can be emotionally difficult but thankfully was early enough to be a complete elimination. For my father the prostate cancer was caught relatively early and surgery and light kemo got him through - the kidney cancer was the really close scare with it coming on undetected until stage three when he was having appetite issues due to the mass blocking his GI functions - surgery and heavy drug use was required in treatment but the surgery was risky enough that me and my brother flew in to take care of household things and help mom and pop through it.

I tend to compartmentalize quite heavily, I have friends at work I explained it all to - and one of them lent me some extremely emotional graphic novels that helped me get a lot of my weeping out on my flight over to my family then I could focus on emotional and physical care. I kept working up until the day of my flight and buried myself in work - I'm sure I wasn't the most efficient employee during that stretch but it helped me to surround myself with a problem space that I could solve.

The difficulty with being a developer is that we can solve so many insanely weird and obscure problems that it becomes habit forming much to the detriment of the health of our relationships and our mental health during existential crises. When a family member has cancer you can assist with everything that's do-able but the actual solutions come from the doctors and pure fucking chance - so my best advice to cope with the issues is that you can help in the small ways and it's immensely appreciated. Cook meals, play games (when my dad was sequestered for surgery we, the family, were sent home since it was a long operation - he had his smart phone and was changing the color of the smart bulbs in the house when conscious) and listen to requests.

If you're feeling overwhelmed then talk to your manager and go on bereavement leave or else just take some unpaid time - if your company isn't the absolute worst then hopefully people above you will understand that you just need time to sort yourself out. If you need to quit then do it - but avoid it if you can because that can just be added stress.

I don't know if any of this was helpful - but I hope everything goes well for you, it's an extremely painful process (he types while tearing up).

Also notable that Nim's new(ish) ORC collector combines reference counting to free memory relatively eagerly (just like python has) with an implementation of the Recycler algorithm to collect cycles (python handles this with occasional mark+sweep which is effective but not nearly as efficient as Recycler ... or, frankly, nearly as cool ;).
Sure, we survived as a species, but certainly not as individuals. We see plenty of evidence of genetic bottlenecks where the human population was reduced to small numbers, quite possibly due to disease. Just within the historical period, there are legions of plagues with extremely high mortality rates, including nearly the entire native population of North America after contact with Europeans. And let’s not forget antibiotics and near every lifesaving piece of medical knowledge we have developed over the last few thousand years. It’s your choice to refuse medical care, but don’t assume the rest of us want to go back to the caves and the hunt. Rapid drug discovery is an extremely powerful medical technology and I 100% welcome it for this disease and all futures ones.
Thanks, and congrats to you too!

That's because of the garbage S0 sleep state enforced by the UEFI/BIOS of the laptop

tl;dr: There's a way to disable Windows 10's "Cook your Laptop" facility, Microsoft calls it "Modern Sleep" for some reason I can't understand, via a simple BIOS change which disables S0 and re-enables S3. No more coming back to a laptop that's so hot you can burn your hands on it. To do this, go into the BIOS config and change the sleep option from "Windows 10" to "Linux".

Adding another datapoint, I went Keto, no carbs/no sugar, grass fed meat and vegetables, eggs, some dairy. I have never felt better in my whole life. I wake up with a clear mind. Throw in some exercise, and I have started to naturally cut back on my caffeine habit, something I have used heavily for ten years. I just wake up and no longer feel like I need three cups of coffee.

If an amateur can do that to your service by scraping, imagine what someone can do if they actually intend to do you harm. With cloud pricing models someone could find a little misconfiguration or oversight and put you in the hole in operating costs. Anti-abuse is a necessary design when your service is exposed to the internet.

Not saying that doesn't suck - it does, it's why many ideas don't work in practice as an online service.
I'm about to install KDE Neon or Pop!_OS on my Lenovo ThinkPad p1 Gen2 which currently runs Windows exactly because I have found it running in my bag to many times.

My older Lenovo Yoga with KDE Neon rarely do that. Also there is still a noticeable difference (30% last I measured on the same hardware) in compile times and when it comes to cli tools like git the experience is in a completely different league.

And why the word is capitalized.
I lost my dad to cancer at 14 so I wasn’t in a position to take care of him, I’m sure that adds another layer to the immense challenge of having a loved one diagnosed with cancer. Also, we had caught it very late so we only had six months with him after his diagnosis.

I’ll admit none of my advice could really help for coping or staying productive, I did not cope well, and it’s only now 14 years later, as an adult, that I’m able to work through what was the defining moment of my life. I also was just recently diagnosed with bipolar type 2 which was extremely difficult to diagnose but is likely traced back to that period of my life.

The one piece of advice I would give that I think is universally helpful is to find a good therapist. Look for a CBT/DBT therapist who can help teach you tools to correct unhealthy mindsets. You have to 1) like them and 2) they have to do a good job at showing you how/why your thought process works the way it does.

> Why does the position of Jupiter, for example, have more effect on my life than say the position of the moon?

It doesn't particularly matter. You can use a randomly generated chart and it will still "work", because the use of astronomy in astrology is basically as RNG, and astrology itself is a psychological language.

> Blood letting has "deep roots", yet we've pretty thoroughly debunked humor balancing and good medicine.

Do you really think modern medical psychology has moved past the "blood letting" phase of knowledge? If so, then why are so many people still depressed, anxious, etc, despite all the supposed advances?

The fact is that psychology has a long way to go before it can be treated as a proper physical science, requiring researchers to bridge vast gaps in neuroscience and the structure of experience, which includes the huge and significant role of symbols in life.

As it stands, the person with the most knowledge of your own life is... you, and tools like astrology function as mirrors to help you avoid your own biases when developing self-knowledge. This is entirely unlike any medical intervention I'm aware of, and cannot be compared in kind.

During my junior year in high school my mom was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer.

It took an emotional toll on my family. I went to a competitive public high school so after feeling tired from school I would come back home and see my mom with a wig on or hooked up to a pneumatic pump which she still uses daily even after remission. It just made me feel even more depressed on top of the feeling I had of not being good enough to my peers. I even shamelessly tried to use this event in my college apps which was a terrible idea in hindsight.

But I realized that this mindset that I had wasn't productive. At least for me, I try to think about how there are people out there who have it way worse than me: abusive families, poverty, etc.. When I saw on Facebook that a classmate I knew had their mother pass from cancer and they still kept a positive attitude, I realized that my family had gotten lucky and that, for me, the problem I was dealing with wasn't so much my mom's cancer but my mindset.

So I would say just try to find something, anything, to be grateful for everyday. These things are emotionally devastating and I wish the best for your family.
Yes. You wrote «discussing politics»: the expression leaves interpretation of "discussing politics with a skewed bias towards that discipline" - still research, investigation, inquire, study, learning -, it is not necessarily read as "doing politics" ("party taken, now let us be active, or loud, or hooligans").

Now: in theory, if your students spent time being loud instead of studying, that should reflect on the marks, should not it? They finally should not pass if doing politics replaced studying. But it is reported of prestigious Athenaeums in USA, and it is also seen and told in Europe, that the "feedback" from the institutions is being lower and lower: even the worse will get the degree. There are horror stories directly told by professors. So, there is a confirmed crisis in education.

But you want your citizens to be fully developed, not """able to count and unable to read""".
> - they need to make this a product -- then a commercial product. During that process they need to make this a commercially viable economically viable product that can compete against other forms of energy in the marketplace.

They’re in a really good position here because they actually don’t. Being a no-carbon power source puts them in an almost new market. The government can (should) regulate carbon fuel away, and pour money into this in a non-market way to tip scales. Energy is heavily regulated but also heavily government funded.

Being in BC, Canada sucks. I went in to an Apple store to buy the fully loaded MacBook M1 max, with 6000 dollars in my hand (literally). And was told to leave the store because my mask didn't cover my nose. I'm buying a Razer 15 now.

And I'm fully vaccinated. Not because I was scared of getting sick (i already contacted COVID twice before the vaccine, including the Delta variant), but because I was shamed into getting it (think about the immunocompromised!!!). And now I'm being told that vaccine doesn't prevent transmission? So now I'm being shamed into wearing a mask.

And now the govt is trying to bully the 10% teachers who are not vaccinated. They might lose their jobs if they don't get the shots. Think about the children!!! But wait a minute, the vaccines don't prevent transmission. So even if the teachers get vaccinated, how is it going to help the children?
