For me it was contact improv, which had the benefits of other humans and touch as well as continual challenges to proprioception and balance and gravity as well as some flow state (which then become a journey of using somatic experiencing and other modalities to do trauma work)

But literally any bodily sensation can be helpful - one of the most usual reasons people give for self harm and cutting for example is that they can feel something. When i was at my most depressed, I used to walk around in the middle of winter with light clothes on (not in a freezing to death dangerous way, just in a wanting intense sensation to focus the mind on something immediate way)

I would say anything that encourages you to pay attention to your body in the moment (requires coordination) and also gets some exercise in can be a good doorway. But so can the breeze on your skin.
It's not disgusting, it's pro-mercy. It'd be a different thing entirely if our medical tech wasn't still barely above primitive efforts like leeches.

E.G. Star Trek level medical tech where there are gene therapies, cybernetic augments, and guided regeneration of body parts? In that world the baby might be viable and could have a life of reasonable quality.
I would say that TPC-DS and TPC-H are really table stakes benchmarks for data warehouses at this point in time (maybe they weren't 10 years ago). How to build a database that does well on them is well documented in the literature now[1][2][3][4] (maybe a few other papers). Its not easy to build such a database, but its "just" hard work and many companies have the $$ necessary to do that work. There isn't any magic or technical moat in the results for databricks (or snowflake, or redshift, etc.).

I think Databricks is overly enthusiastic about their results as they have been trying to be competitive with cloud DWs on these benchmarks for a number of years now. They have finally caught up (by building deltalake and their photon query engine which implement a number of standard DW features).

We've spent multiple trillions on this pandemic already (look at the national debt). Much more than on the military which has been declining as share of GDP since WW2.

Sometimes podcasts and interviews. Sometimes I am so engrossed in work I don’t remember what I heard in the last 20 minutes but I think it still works for emotional modulation.
Don't get me started on the new iOS podcast app. I used to know how to use it. Now I need to click five times at random to get anywhere, and still don't understand where I am. All the views look similar, but different. I just want to hear the oldest first and see if episodes are downloaded, that's it. Cue… "you had one job!"

Yes, been about six months.
thank you; i learned from your comment which is great
Anything interesting on your choice of project name?
I'd like to make a note that these tests do not cover feature differences within the Safari ecosystem since this is only comparing Safari macOS (the only OS that allows other browser engines). Safari on iPadOS has fewer features available than Safari on macOS, iOS even less. Missing features between Safari for each OS are either because they default to off (but the user can enable them) or they are explicitly not available. For instance iPadOS supports MSE (Media Source Extensions) but iOS does not, despite them running on the same SoC. I do not recall having encountered such differences with other engines between different desktop/mobile operating systems.

Since Safari on iOS has the greatest number of users of all the Safari versions it should be used for comparison, and not Safari macOS.
Funny argument from a place where abortion is restricted in many states.

And even if not, you might be in a place or situation where you can't abort, or where you don't know the full truth or you don't know early enough or ...

Many reasons but medical decisions about a living child should not be influenced by whatever reasoning or intention we ascribe to or even know their parents held.
I always thought crowd sourced ratings was one of the killer apps of the internet. That's what makes Airbnb possible, what made darknet markets successful, what makes Amazon powerful...

Throwing away ratings is like going into the woods to live and throwing away your book on native plant life. I guess just nibble at whatever looks good, even if it might be void of nutritional value or poisonous at worst.
Terminating a pregnancy that "late" in a pregnancy is difficult in many states, including Indiana.
Highly unlikely. Apple never ever wants to be in the situation again that someone else controls their platform like Adobe and NXP did in the Mac OS 9 days.
It is astounding. What is more astounding to me is that we burn so many of these cycles on eye candy, and that we waste so many of them on bloat. If not for that your battery powered gizmo would run for many days on one charge instead of having to be connected to its umbilical for 8 hours every night.
In terms of abortion rights, immigration, progressive taxation, and a host of other issues the US is to the left of Norway.

I think people spend more time consuming the news than becoming familiar with the actual policies and laws of countries.

In case you anyone misunderstands my claim, these are the facts: the US has more progressive taxation both on income tax and corporate tax, a minimum wage, and more liberal abortion laws (case vs planned parenthood ruling).
They're gesturing at the argument that was famously made in the 2016 movie Denial.

In that, a Holocaust denier has filed a defamation lawsuit against a Jewish professor. Under UK law, she bears the burden of proof.

When they later confront the denier, they point out that he makes many historical mistakes and every single one of them favors the Nazis and/or Hitler. They then compare this to a rigged coin. If he were being honest and doing history wrong, then some of his mistakes should've gone either way, but the fact that his mistakes are substantially in one direction shows evidence of bias.

Denial is a great film, I recommend it.
Because it is what we learn in school as kids. We are persecuted for saying "I don't know" and here we are. Everybody have opinions on everything. A lot of people think, that they know a lot. But actually only few people actually know something.
To educate people to take responsibility for their lives? Yes, I think that's the right thing to do from a moral standpoint. People deserve freedom and deserve empowerment. I think it's morally wrong to have forced guardianship of adults.
.. but it's so easy and lazy to just blame "the man" or a big conspiracy.
I think you missed the point: Nobody reads the warnings or notifications. Which is why it's absolutely an issue.

And yes, I routinely revoke permissions for dozens of sites from all sorts of Chrome permissions that the user doesn't even remember visiting, much less authorizing. People just click stuff.
Same here. CCC is several orders of magnitude faster than Time Machine and it just works.

I stopped using Time Machine years ago when they started using hidden permissions on Time Machine backups that made it impossible to "garden" my family's backups on the network backup drive. Even as root, you couldn't delete old backups -- you had to log in to the particular user's computer to delete old backups.

And then they came out with APFS which didn't support the directory hardlinks which Apple invented and Time Machine depended on. WTF Apple?
I feel this. I went in for phys-eng 5 year program, failed out. Was lucky I picked up making websites on the side, now making applications/SWE by supplied job title. I still think about school but man it's a commitment/time sink/test of discipline. Also I still have debt from when I attended. I feel the same as OP but I think aside from money/professional, I could pursue those interests (SLAM/robotics for me) for personal passion.

I was in for 3 discontinuous years I didn't immediately fail out, once I started getting into quantum that math was a bit much for me and then tried to switch to comp sci but didn't cut it the grades. It was a discipline problem on my part/not doing my work.
My favorite example of this was how, just after quitting my job on the iPhone hardware team, I needed to buy a new phone. So I went to the local Apple store back home in Colorado and got myself a shiny new iPhone X. It didn't take long for the winter to start rolling in and the outside temperature to start to drop. I suddenly began to notice that my fingers weren't registering on the touchscreen anymore, even with warm hands.

A few days went by and more and more people were reporting the same issue. It took a quick update to fix, but I still find it hilarious to think about all my ex-colleagues walking around in 65 degree weather all the time, never even thinking about this issue.
Some birds also eat flying insects as a source (if not primary source sometimes) of food. I don't know if this is true of the godwit or not. For example the swift eats airborne insects and has been recorded to stay up in the air for 10 months [0]

Finally somebody that has used Databricks! I can't believe all the praise I read elsewhere in the comments here. Databricks is broken in so many ways, it is beyond me how anyone can like using this.
And what if they video streams are right wing? What then?
I dug around and found a fix for the "constantly eats all my CPU" issue: Turn on "compact" tab layout.

Which then creates the problem that now I'm using the "compact" tab layout that everyone in the betas screamed bloody murder about until they added that switch, god this layout is really annoying if you have any extensions up in the toolbar and/or more than about four tabs. But at least I don't have to deal with using fucking Chrome or losing all my text expansion shortcuts because Firefox refuses to support those.

My inner paranoid wonders if this is a deliberate tactic to boost the numbers of people using the "compact" layout by someone whose next performance review is riding on that layout: "see, boss, look at what the telemetry says - everyone's switching to Compact! We should just drop the old look and give me a major bonus!".

This illustrates how cruel "means-tested" benefits can be. Sadly, they're more popular with voters than universal benefits.
That's usually called a space leak, distinguishing space-wasting program logic from explicit memory mismanagement. Users of a program generally can't distinguish space leak from memory leak, unless you inspect the heap to look for growing chains or pools of similar objects.

"health insurance shouldn't mean we'll do whatever it takes to keep somebody alive no matter what".

That is a valid thought and a lot of "universal" and "free" healthcare have "costs containment" and even "alternatives" health care (homeopathy) for higher cost diseases[1]

Now the question is when it will come to you or a beloved one will it be ok to me say : "nahh, lets save a lot of money"?

Teilur: Top IT Recruiting and Staffing Firm in Latin America
Didn't start seriously or professionally writing software until I was 26 after messing up my education as well, triple university dropout, failed founder and severely depressed back then.

13 years later, I'm CTO and cofounder of a mid-sized startup on escape trajectory. Your mileage not just _may_ but _will_ vary, but here's a selection of things that personally helped me most on my journey:

Understanding what actually creates my value as a software developer and obsessively trying to focussing on that. Doing helpful things and be known for delivering results. Going far above what was expected, but also making sure it was noticed. Choosing stellar bosses who wanted to develop me, very selectively, and making them successful. Taking responsibility that nobody wanted whereever there was a vacuum. Being bold in daring solutions (but also learning how to seriously piss off superiors and avoiding that). Staying focused on solutions, not on problems. Regularly taking new opportunities that gave me the biggest stretch and largest learning opportunity.

Aiming at the phrasing of your "messed up", I'm only now learning to deal with the level of impostor syndrome this journey brought me and how to switch off from the pressure I put myself into: one of my biggest challenges so far was actually how to learn to love myself and deal with the emotional fallout from my perceived failure in my mid twenties. Looking back, I would have started especially that part of the journey earlier.

The only thing I never regretted was putting a single step back into school.

Good luck. You'll do it. I believe in you.
The article has tidbits of hyperbole (you're right that it's no secret move), but accusing it of "pure propaganda" is a pretty strong take.

A bit more background to complement yours: the law was initially put forward in early September, to be put to a vote in a few weeks, sidestepping the required opinions from certain public bodies (like the portuguese DPA, CNPD). This was uncharacteristically fast for a proposal that is supposed to touch a lot of new ground (AI, ethics, permanent recording, biometric storage).

Its quick approval only did not happen as planned because of the death of a former president, which suspended the Parliamentary schedule and moved things forward a couple of weeks. As you remind, this was followed by the announcement of the dissolution of Parliament by the end of November, to be followed by early elections in January.

If it was not for the passing of former president Jorge Sampaio, the law would most probably been successfully fast-tracked. Instead of backing down (the impending dissolution of Parliament would render the proposal void), the government doubled down and asked for special treatment to still get it approved in time. Add to that the fact that this law was initially presented right in the middle of the national campaign for local elections, and one can't be faulted for pointing out an unusual and determined drive to speed this through. Not secret, but hardly fair in democratic terms.

Finally, the framing of this as a "video surveillance bill" (which you follow) is loaded and inaccurate. Video surveillance is thoroughly regulated in Portugal; what this bill brings is the application of AI without any practical safeguards, or biometric databases with few security stipulations, in the 4th safest country in the world with no records of domestic or foreign terrorism. This is exactly the kind of bill that requires proper public debate and getting feedback from public bodies and civil society (as most laws like these do). Its formulation -- mushing together police bodycams, AI, drones, biometrics, expanded access to recordings -- made journalistic reporting and public debate much more difficult.

Why this law is being fast-tracked is still in the realm of speculation, and it's still in the air whether it will go through or not, but let's not dismiss the valid concerns with this kind of opaque political move.

(I'm happy to clarify and add to the relevant context for those not following this closely, but this comment is already long enough)
Serious question: Can't a government block it at the ISP level? They could also make out of country VPN illegal. How would BTC work in practicality under those conditions?
> The last-minute alteration left COP26 president Alok Sharma on the brink of tears.

That would sum up the environment movement. A cult based on emotions. I guess the real men are working the coal mines saving lives and what's left of the environment.

What does need to happen is reducing PM2.5 from coal power, and supply security.

A lot of the rich countries will start withholding supplies, withholding oil was tied to Japan entering WW2 and all countries have every right to access global supplies of coal in the 21st century. I hope they are militarising, drones allow a lot of power at low cost.

Now we in the West have a wink wink way of collectively keeping case in point India poor, it's far more valuable to us, 1.4 billion workers to do our bidding.
This is absolutely not at clear cut as you are describing it. They were well aware that public opinion generally understood is what is supposed to bound government action. I don't have all the Federalist references handy atm, but it is not the case that they would have said "meh if a private corporation does it it's okay". As will all things with those folks it's considerably more nuanced than that.
I can understand Safari tabs. I assume that it all came about because they decided to change the location bar on iOS Safari, moving it to the bottom of the screen.

This is a good change -- it makes Safari much easier to use on iPhones with current screen sizes. But then they said "okay, we're making one big change to Safari... let's see if there's any other changes we can roll in, since we're making people learn new UI anyway". So they made all those other changes to how tabs behave in iOS Safari. And then kept on going and updated iPadOS Safari and MacOS Safari -- gets them a whole "we're improving Safari this year" slide in the keynote, etc etc etc.

...and then, to their credit, they listened to beta feedback and rolled back most of the poorly considered UI changes.

I would agree with you that most of our mental and emtional health conditions are both within us and within a context, and that being “crazy” can be a perfectly good and even useful and healthy response to an insane world.

But I assure you, I had no desire to stay in the state I was in which was dull grey, numb, dissociated, and isolated. I spent enough years meditating with it that I wasn’t intensely suffering without exactly, though i can’t say I ever got to acceptance and peace. But I wanted something different for my one finite life.
It neither makes me happy nor unhappy. I find it interesting and often enlightening.
The US is full of psychopaths. Just look at the comments in this thread. This amount of backlash against even maternity leave would be incredible in civilized countries.

Right, on average industry has been failing forever. The difference now is it might not be practical for anyone to actually secure an internet server or web browser, full stop. I think that is a fundamentally different situation.
It is inconceivable that earlier scans did not pick up the defects. She made her bed, she gets to lie in it, but now she is trying to drag other taxpayers into it with her. Some people, I would argue the vast majority of people, do not understand that actions have consequences.

I am also 30, don't have a degree, have a good job, and make good money.

First, and perhaps most important: there is _zero_ shame in going back to school at any age.

That said, don't derail your career for this. Career success (IMO) is a function of career momentum and you'll have a hard time getting started again if you stop now.

You have several other options:

1. Go to an online school. University of London (via Coursera), University of the People, Colorado Tech, and Western Governors' University all have CS programs that you can do online and at your own pace. They're all reasonably priced and you can likely pay out of pocket for them (especially University of the People - total cost for the degree is ~$5k).

2. Just learn stuff on your own. You're lucky to work in a field where people are very eager to share what they've been working on. You want to learn 3D graphics? Write a raytracer. Distributed systems? Implement raft. Machine learning? Follow one of a bazillion tutorials out there to get started. Then keep going. Talk to people in the field, tell them what you've been working on, and ask what to do next (think of it as a load-balanced apprenticeship). Formal education or not, nothing changes the fact that learning something thoroughly requires time, focus, and patience. It's perhaps a bit more work to learn something this way, but if you have the discipline to do it, you'll learn much more than you would in a university course (IMO).

3. Learn the material and don't worry about the degree. https://teachyourselfcs.com/, for instance, is a good resource for self study.

4. Don't worry about it! You've got a good job. You make good money. Tinker with stuff on the side and invest more time where you want to invest more time. Or don't! Learn to play the piano or something. Consider why you're constantly thinking about your lack of a degree and why it's wearing you out. Are you actually bummed out about not having a degree? Or is it that you're not fully utilizing your creativity and curiosity? The solutions to those respective problems are different and if you're looking at spending thousands of dollars on a degree, it's worth being really _really_ clear on what problem you're trying to solve.

Are you talking about Cuba or Venezuela (what other counties are associated with CIA conspiracy theories, sanctioned by the US, and praised for their health care)? If so, those are both terrible dictatorships which their own populations are working hard to take down.

Obtaining that data you trust depends on different methods.
I'm using IRV as a shorthand for ANY of the instant runoff voting (ranked voting) systems.

I happen to prefer (Path Vote) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schulze_method as a method of performing an election with instant runoffs for one round of ranked ballots.

For the later proposal (where districts are replaced by a mixed bag of candidates and issues) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schulze_STV might be a good way of determining the membership of a body.

It looks like research into proportional voter representation is still ongoing, with important new papers released even this year.
I understand the point you're trying to make. I would like to also point out that non-rich people in the US often just die. It's not like the non-rich US-based get the same care that the rich non-US-based fly here to get.
I think we have been in that situation since everybody started mimicking how Google does things
