The 2001 winner of the award Daniel Cohn-Bendit was a known pedophile since the 1970s:

Cohn-Bendit has been accused of defending and committing paedophilia, as he published a number of provocative statements regarding sex with children in the 1970s and early 1980s.

His 1975 book The Great Bazaar (Der grosse Basar) where he describes sexual contact with five-year-old children during his time as a teacher in an anti-authoritarian kindergarten (kinderladen [de]).[13] These were reiterated one year later in articles for the cultural-political magazine das da

I think that's the point Jordan Peterson has been making for a while, referencing increased serotonin released in lobsters who win fights against other lobsters, and a lowering in the ones who lose.

Did Sun ever make mechanicals? I mainly recall the type 5 but it was rubber dome. The ones that came after were like cheap $10 pc keyboards.
It's not clear at all to me why someone would buy that over the much less expensive and seemingly more capable Rivian R1S.
Depends. Around here it's the Hochbahn. Wuppertal has the Schwebebahn, and a long time ago the Köln-Bonner Eisenbahn had the Silberpfeil racing along the Rheinuferbahn.
I still use a few forums, but what lured me away from some of them years ago was the fact that either reddit or Facebook had groups about everything in one place, and without all of the spam that the forums were starting to suffer from. Same with usenet. Groups are great but the spam was relentless and difficult to filter out after a while.

after some very negative experiences with reddit as a whole, I barely use it and now seek out dedicated forums. Same with Facebook. I no longer feel that the single sign on world has the benefit that it used to.
Thank you Ed. It really means a lot.
Nothing has changed. I admire lots of people but I don’t want to pay the price needed to achieve similar results. You have to love or at least tolerate the struggle to get results. So pick the struggles you want to have. Don’t pick the results you want to achieve and try to do the work needed. It won’t work.
As a Cal grad this is an easy reason to point to the next time I reject an alumni donation call.

If the goal is to accept more students on merit, this is a big failure in my opinion: rich kids can just game the “holistic” admissions with opportunities not available to middle/lower class students (“volunteer” trips, extracurriculars, etc.).
If you don't have another phone would it be safe to first call some other known number and see if that goes through?

If it does, then you should be able to infer that the previous inbound call has (probably [1]) hung up, and it is now safe to call your bank.

[1] A sophisticated enough scammer could hold the line, give a fake dial tone, detect that the number you are dialing is not the bank number they expected you to dial, dial that number themselves on a different line, and relay between that line and yours to convince you that you really did have a clear line, and then keep holding the line when you then hang up and try to call the bank.
Say "if it's important send me a letter". Hang up. Don't waste your time running round after these idiots.
Surely we shouldn't look at these subjects with blinders on. I'm sure the Soviet Union has done some evil deeds and killed scores of people in service of national zealotry, then tried to cover it up. But what global superpower hasn't? Realpolitik is an inevitable consequence of the modern world.
Yeah but why would Twitter do that?
They are widely available but not as common. We will run on 2-3 lifeline calls a day sometimes and while resetting them, we rarely see a wireless one.
He arrived at the right solution, but it's not right to think of object storage (s3) as directories, that's why the list is so expensive.

This paragraph was worth the price of admission for me.
“ This is only proving that a college degree is not enough to qualify most graduates for any job. Better to hire from 2nd tier schools instead and even to consider HS grads on some cases.”

How many students from Stanford, Caltech, Berkeley founded their own companies? How many from cal poly?

Why the massive difference?
I drink more than I should, but never during work. When i worked in a real office, there would occasionally be a lunch or something where I had a beer, and it just made me tired and unproductive for the rest of the day.

Same as you, I find myself drinking more with being mostly stuck at home. But I find it completely incompatible with work. I spend part of my time coding, part on project management, and part talking to clients (I have my own business). I would consider it very disrespectful to meet with other people for work while even remotely under the influence. And if I'm working by myself, alcohol makes me lazy and stupid, so I would find it not compatible with getting work done.

To be clear, I enjoy having a drink, almost certainly too much. But I don't see the overlap with work at all. The only real advice I can give (and i don't want to judge) is to make sure drinking doesn't just improve your perception of how well you're working, and actually makes you more productive. And maybe it's better to have a drink to let off some steam after work vs mixing the two. But it's a personal thing so ymmv obviously
You're good and smart and wonderful. Don't sweat it.
I love jqwik, one of the best implementations of property based testing I've ever used!

I've actually used it very successfully in industry. The big value in my opinion is how it separates out thinking about your test data from your test cases. Instead of thinking about edge cases for particular functions, you think about what your data can possibly look like and then state what properties need to hold about it.

One tip for anyone trying out jqwik in an enterprise environment is to have static utility classes for generating Arbitrary<YourBusinessType> and then setup your data sources on a per test basis rather than setting defaults for the types globally. I find this makes it easier to manage cases where you have different constraints for common data types that needs to vary per suite of tests. For example, maybe in one case the dates need to be in the past while another suite of tests should be run over any possible date.
In reality, the so-called "Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency" aren't interested in truth or transparency. They are just spamming the FDA with gratuitous FOIA requests in order to grind their political axe:

If these people were operating in good faith, it would endanger their valued reputations as certified antivax nutjobs.
> Caps lock is Escape everywhere all the time

This would be a limit: I use AHK to have chorded keys:
- caps is esc if used alone, control if used with another key
- enter is enter if used alone, control if used with another key
- shift left is page up if used alone, shift if used with another key
- shift right is page down if used alone, shift if used with another key
- alt left is home if used alone, alt if used with another key
- alt right is home if used alone, alt if used with another key

This makes many shortcuts very easy: ctrl-l can be done one handed with the right hand by pressing enter-l

Likewise, to control-shift-home, I press caps+shift left+alt left.

To move between tabs, on the left caps then shift left, or on the right enter then shift right.

Better: the two thumbs "beginning then end of file" to have a quick look at some code: right alt then left alt (so right alt=alt, left alt=home) and the same 2 keys but in the opposite order, left alt then right alt (so left alt=alt, right alt=end)

This is so super practical with AutoHotKey...

And at this point, nearly 2 years into the pandemic, claiming that cloth masks do nothing is not arguing in good faith.

A number of studies have been linked in sibling comments, studying the effects of cloth masks. They work to significant reduce exhaled contaminant load.

> In one study, during talking, unmasked subjects expelled more than 5,000 contaminants per 5 cubic feet; 7.2% of the contaminants were associated with particles less than 4 μm in diameter (68). Cloth-masked subjects expelled an average of 19 contaminants per 5 cubic feet; 63% were less than 4 μm in diameter. So overall, over 99% of contaminants were filtered. The second study used the same experimental setup, but studied a wider range of mask designs, including a four-ply cotton mask. For each mask design, over 97% contaminant filtration was observed (69).

> https://www.pnas.org/content/118/4/e2014564118#abstract-1

Also, at this point we know that even if you catch COVID-19, the viral load that you catch plays a factor in how seriously ill you get. Masks reduce the viral load that a sick person exposes others to.
> What do you do when your counterpart won't answer their phone?

I'm not sure what you mean. Like I said, if someone texts me and tells me they are calling then i'll pick up. Or if I get a voicemail saying, "duh, pick up dingus"... then i'll pick up the next buzz.

That never happens because almost no one I care about uses the phone anyway. Exvept that 0.01%.
There was a time when Netflix shows seemed to be almost made by algorithm or big data- as if someone said like 32-37 year olds love detective shows with angry but smart main characters. My sense is its gotten better with more quality and less quantity lately though.

Boring vs. interesting seems subjective, therefore not a useful classifier since what you pick as boring somebody (perhaps much smarter) will pick as interesting.

"Important" seems impossible to determine except in hindsight.

> Or for that matter, Wooting and anything they liked as much or better?

I got my Wooting 2 HE yesterday, and it feels great, but I think I still prefer the Cherry MX low profile speed switches that I bought by accident (I thought I was buying a replacement for a keyboard with full profile MX speed switches, but I was happily surprised to learn that I preferred the low profile switches). Adjusting the activation height to 1.0mm gets me most of the way there, though.

> I don't care at all about RGB, that's a gimmick to me. I'm not a gamer.

I once spent time writing a CPU, RAM, and IO barmeter using RGB backlight, using one color and one line of keys for each indicator.

It's VERY practical for a sysadmin!
I don't think those devices reduce the number of accidents, so I disagree with your premise. I think they serve to help slowly roll out self-driving capabilities.
Ion text is helpful so you can convert ion binary to text for debugging:
If you have a page full of writing, all sorts of things get slow. I do a lot of digital writing, and have encountered a number of strange slowdowns, even in apps designed for the purpose. In particular, selecting a large number of strokes can be quite a problem.

There are minimum bounding circle algorithms that are O(n) where n is the number of points, but n can get big enough that you may not want to be doing that in an interactive program. You can put objects in a quadtree or similar to look them up quickly, and that may let you discard entire strokes in e.g. Welzl's bounding circle algorithm, but with stroke or curve data you'll still need to search along each one somehow for the extreme points by whatever measure you're using (and a Bezier curve has uncountably infinitely many points, so maybe you can only find an approximate bounding circle?).

> make sure drinking doesn't just improve your perception of how well you're working

Yep. Good point.
Genuine question—why would you need a sum type in a self-describing data format?
I disagree. I can't see how this is a dark pattern / trick. They are just saying if you want to participate in the trial they need to validate that you're serious about it. If you don't like these upfront terms, then you can bail right there and then. If however they are being sneaky about the CC requirement, or actually bill you a month later, then I could see that qualifying as a dark pattern (or straight up fraud).

I probably wouldn't move forward as a potential customer myself once the credit card requirement pops up unless I'd already done my research and was pretty sure I wanted to use that product.

They could lose potential customers, but they also probably eliminate a massive amount of customer support... which maybe they just can't afford yet. Customer support isn't free.
This is incredibly hard for me as well.

Coming from a lower middle class family, I had to struggle a lot financially before finding a foothold. Even now the inadequacies plague me.

Unfortunately I don't have a solution, apologies OP.
Hey, I definitely relate to some of this. The trick is to turn it from passively consuming information to turning it into active learning. When you watch these documentaries, make notes of what you just heard. You start to become more engaged. This video helped me, https://youtu.be/V-UvSKe8jW4, How To Remember Everything You Learn

I realized I’m always curious to learn how things work. So I figured out I could use it to make it my center of focus and try to build a company around it. This is the start http://rigelblu.com

We make the world more complex than it needs to be sometimes. Probably often. Maybe you can use your curiosity in those subjects and interests to help make it easier for others?
Given what's going on with climate change inaction, we may be headed towards a world where the only way to get anything done is via direct action, and that gets very messy, very fast.
I mean, I think Tesla's autobraking is dangerous and should be made illegal. I think it likely causes more accidents than it avoids.

I don't trust the features to work well enough to rely on them. And I think other people having them is dangerous.

Meanwhile, they all can be toggled off, so I still won't be using the feature. It's just another point of failure shortening the lifespan of a five-figure environmentally costly purchase.
I made a roadside pilgrimage to the Woody Creek Tavern on a motorcycle trip across the US just a few years ago. Not a Thompson scholar if such a thing could exist, but certainly a fan. My impression was he realized that if you had a puppet, you could get away with saying anything you wanted, and Raoul was his puppet. Journalism was constrained by the bourgois consensus of sources and fact checking, and fiction was limited like an official court jester by the pretense that it wasn't true, especially when it was. Gonzo was the hybrid freak that used puppets and misdirection to tell you the truth like you had never heard it before. "Faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death."

I miss two people in the world today, Christopher Hitchens, and Hunter S. Thompson.
Your wife is very wise :)
There you nailed it. Want a feature X in the plan9 kernel? Okay, add it. Recompile and Run. When a system is self contained and has fewer external users it's easy to iterate and develop without the fear of breakage
You can also buy and own a lightsaber. It makes the sound effects and you can pretend it's real, but it doesn't actually do the things you imagine it to.
It makes it unconstitutional for a law to do that. It doesn't stop private citizens from exerting social pressure on churches to not do that, e.g. by shaming them in public.
Same! I like both but I have a slight preference for the flat ones given the small distance between the keys that make it easier to do many things - including repositioning my fingers (F and J have a nub, but the spaces between the keys make repositioning easier, especially with nails)
Linux has debuggers and crash dumps.
Fair enough, but that’s not what was brought up and I don’t know why you would want a vehicle without ABS.

Since most people don’t know how to panic stop without ABS I think it’s reasonable that it cause an inspection failure.

I’m not aware of a jurisdiction where you would fail an inspection because your rear park assist or lane departure warning didn’t work.
> when one talks about composite bosons, it's exotic materials like

It sort of reinforced the stereo types of how Stalin and his circle behaved. Stalin had psychopath traits, but what's shown in the film isn't remotely anything like how things may have happened.

I highly recommend Stephen Kotkin's new 3-volume biography of Stalin.
I wonder if, with an open source bios, this could achieve RYF certification.
This is actually giving credence to that idiot's bogus claims. It's clickbait to pretend there's a controversy when it's just a publicity stunt that's gone on for far too long.

Some automakers used to recommend replacement at 10 or 15 years old (my 1999 Mercedes had that on a door-jamb sticker). But from what I've seen, none of them are saying that anymore. Perhaps there was additional operational-life testing done. Or (more cynically) perhaps the automakers decided that replacing the 8+ airbags a modern car has after it's 15 years old, was something that no one was going to do because the cost would exceed the value of the vehicle by that point.

Ultimately they are fighting the tide with a broom: most people - most voters - want stricter tech regulation.

Per Pew: "Some 56% of Americans think major technology companies should be regulated more than they are now, and 68% believe these firms have too much power and influence in the economy"

Support costs need to be factored in too. Free customers can often have an enormous customer support cost. They'll send emails to sales@company.com if they can't find a support email with questions along the lines of "How do I do x..." (which might be completely covered by the documentation they didn't read), or "I have a suggestion...".

You have to weigh the pros and cons. In some cases the cons might outweigh the pros and so you further qualify your free users, for example by requiring a Credit Card.

This can be a big problem in freemium (and open source) type products.
Comments don’t persist in binary. Like white space, they are explicitly not part of the data model.

For me at least, the Ballmer Peak is real. And at this point I can calibrate it pretty well.

At the same time, I once worked with a guy who seemed to be permanently tipsy and topped himself off with a flask during the day. He was useless as a worker and therefore annoying as a coworker.

So obviously there's a counterproductive point. You have to watch it and be honest with yourself about it.
"many credit unions offer it by default as part of online banking"

I remember I had to opt-in to get zelle transfers activated. Information, terms of the service, and separate activation of email/phone were done at that time just for zelle. I suppose nowadays it's streamlined... which is not so good if customers don't even know what zelle is.
The prisoner situation does seem somewhat dire, but whenever I read the Soviet Union imprisoned huge numbers of people I have to laugh when I recall American statistics and the horrific conditions in our prisons where we also use slave labor (the 13th Amendment's lone exception). One day not too far in the future people will read about us in the same hushed undertones. Or perhaps not, because my hope is the press of the future is able to improve and grapple with difficult subjects instead of parroting McCarthite dogma.

For what it's worth Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman was one of my favorite books growing up. It was kind of a shock when Wellerstein drew attention how the humor compared to what they were doing. He's right, it is kind of grim.

Good point, but the centre of the circle is the important thing, and that is visible if you want good UX. It does matter that it consistently leaves out the same part of sticking-out curves in different rotations. You could sample some number of points along each curve or something.

Many thousands of points is exactly what you have in a page of handwriting. They're organised into strokes, which should help.
