Played this for years. Our family all-time unbroken record for fastest win was by my middle son Joseph, in 83 turns(!) He was a custom telepathic race. Developed the homeworld to build only frigates (minimum size to take over a world telepathically) and skipped across the galaxy taking new colonies from each opponent as soon as they were built. The AI opponent would marshall its fleet to defend and arrive one turn too late, as his frigates were headed to the next world already. The AI would burn his newly-won colony to the ground, but Joseph's fleet was off taking the next one.
True that data.table is much simpler and faster one of the reasons I switched from dplyr to data.table

Annex territory? Turkey, NATO member, 1974 (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_invasion_of_Cyprus)

Your parents were alive during that time, so it's not that old school.
OSS fanboys have been hailing the coming of Linux on personal computers for years, but it just looks like Windows 11 might be the thing that makes it real, forcing it finally to mature.

This is not Vista times, where you can easily get away with a bad OS generation. For the first time in about 12 years I'm dual booting Win 10 and KDE on Ubuntu, and it actually feels like a usable and practical setup.

Win 11 really seems to be hateful of users almost. Does it have a target audience anymore, or is it now designed by Mac users that work at MS? Seems like almost everyone should stay on Win 10 or migrate to Mac or Linux. The greatest strength Windows had was that developers could mess around while non-techies would always have a way to do whatever work they needed.
Any given growth rate is not sustainable long term. For example, consider a growth rate of 1% per year (about what the world population growth rate currently is).

Right now, every human is on or near the Earth. Let's call this year 0.

In year 1, every human must be within one light-year of the Earth. In year 2, every human must be within two light-years of the Earth. In year N, every human must be within N light-years of Earth.

Take the volume of a sphere of radius N light-years and divide it by the population after N years of 1% growth, and you get the volume available per person if humans were spread out evenly among all possible space that humans could theoretically occupy.

At year 1, that is about 4.39 x 10^38 m^3 per person, so no problem. But at around year 11600 it is 4 m^2 per person. By 12101 it is down to 0.04 m^3 per person. The internet tells me that the average volume of a human is about 0.06 m^3 so 0.04 m^3 per person would be bad news.

What if we manage to invent Star Trek style warp engines right away, which let us go 1000x the speed of light. That makes everything a 10^9 times better. At 12101 we have 40000000 m^3 per person. But by 13524 we are down to 40 m^3 per person, and by 14000 below 0.39 m^3 per person. From there we have only got until 14192 before we are just below 0.06 m^3.

Remember, this is being ridiculous optimistic. Even with warp drive available starting tomorrow we would not be able to spread so fast that 14000 years from now we are uniformly occupying a 28000 light year diameter spherical volume around Earth. In reality we'll hit a space limit a lot earlier.

Hence, we can conclude that 1% is not sustainable for more than a few thousand years even under very optimistic assumptions.

Long term the growth rate must be one that on average declines over time, simply because a growth rate that does not do so leads to exponential growth, but we live in a universe were accessible space cannot grow faster than polynomially.
20 years of checkins on what people eat, has anyone gotten the PDF and seen how they actually do this follow up?

One general term, though it's kind of unsatisfying, is "economic land," and it can refer to things like electromagnetic spectrum too. Any finite resource that that is a factor of production and can not be expanded.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_(economics)

For namespaces, there is extra value for particular names that come not from any work the owner of the name performed, but rather that comes from the productive activity of others. If I squat "olives.com" in 1994 and wait for the web to get big, and then sell the domain in 2000 to a hottest new direct to consumer olive startup, then any profit from that should really be taxed away. All that "value" came from the work of others that made the web into a valuable place to own some "land."

Isn’t that exactly what they are doing anyway? The only reason you get anything more is they couldn’t find employees if they didn’t.
I think the grandma case is just made up. I've seen older people use win11 just fine, they aren't so incompetent that they can't click a button on their task bar. If they are having trouble with that, then even if they could get to the windows button easily in the corner, they'd have a tricky job clicking any of the things that come up in the windows menu which are all the same size, and now, not even aligned to the bottom edge of the screen! Poor Grandma :)

Also on big screens the centered taskbar is great
That's part of the reason why I like having my money with an RIA that I have a relationship with: I can't make big withdrawals on the account without verifying with several people. That's a sigh of relief.

I think there is a need for authentication, especially among people that are in and out of poverty.

The catch-22 is that you can't get a job without an address, and you can't get an address without a job, so you cannot be authenticated by means available to most people! Hard to bootstrap yourself when you can't prove you exist. Having some kind of authentication that doesn't require an easily lost-or-stolen asset (ID card, birth certificate) would be helpful, as long as it is voluntary!
I wonder if that has any relation to people using Bing for porn and Japan’s dominance in its industry.
You use Python to rapidly build a small backend system and then, if any warts appear that need to be smoothed over, you carve that function off to a more robust solution.

Python is great for programming at the speed of inspiration.
I don't have access to the study itself to check, but it seems like a huge confounder is income. Meat is more expensive on a per calorie basis than plants and poverty is associated increased mortality for many reasons.
It’s very complicated to eat plant based proteins properly. There’s so many “gotchas”, if you don’t get it right and keep eating that way for a long time you’ll do serious damage. Better to just eat good animals.
Came here to comment the same thing. Really awesome to see how the type system can be leveraged to produce syntactically lightweight abstractions.

I'll point out that rooted Android is an option that grants you much more control. You can even build Android for many devices from source if you're so inclined (though perhaps not all of the drivers).

Rooted Android increasingly tends to be an option best reserved for technically-sophisticated users, but compiling OpenWRT from source isn't exactly consumer-friendly.

I guess it's a matter of preference. I use both Mac and Windows and I prefer Mac's way of doing it. Sometimes I'll have 3 IntelliJ windows open + my terminal, along with a dozen other apps that are on other desktops/workspaces that I'm currently not using. So it's nice that I can bounce between the IntelliJ windows for editing my code with Cmd+`, then when I need to hop into the terminal I do Cmd+tab, do my stuff, then Cmd+tab and I'm back in the code. Maybe it's a learning curve but it feels very natural to me.

> Also, CMD+’ is way more ergonomically inconvenient to hit.

What fingers are you using for Cmd+tab if that's comfortable but not Cmd+`? It's exactly 1 key above tab.
I’d like Apple to be in control of their whole supply and logistics chain.

I’m trying to buy a MacBook Pro 16” with lots of ram this week and Apple reports there’s no stock in store and earliest ship date is 4~8 weeks out.

Apple normally prides themselves on being able to ship stuff after announcing it. These are unprecedented times of course, but this seems like the kind of rough customer experience that would/did keep Tim Cook up at night.
First quesiton is: is it savings or windfall? This determines your risk profile. Savings, you can make over again because you've already made $600k once the hardest way possible. Windfall, thank lucky stars and secure that shit.

I'd wonder why leveraging it to buy or build a duplex or triplex in a city on the obvious list? The key thing is to tie it up so that it doesn't make you lazy. My wealthy friends are getting the F out of cash because of its rapidly diminishing purchasing power. There's no way out of what's going on at a macro level without inflation and high interest rates, so anything that returns better than -8% yoy is going to be better.

Having that net worth also means you can be super aggressive with hunting for gigs because you can afford to say 'no' to anything less than $200k+ if you are in US/CAN market. Even though it's not a lot of money from a wealth perspective, (you're on the second bottom rung of a very tall ladder) from a job hunting perspective, you have FU money so long as you don't spend it. You can take a passion project for a non-profit and moonlight with another contract part time and if either of them don't like it you can walk.

You also have accredited investor status, so you can take flyers of as little as 20-30k participating in seed rounds, which pops you out of being just another dev and now you're an investor with depth on the tech, which is a whole new game. If you're contracting and your triplex mortgage is covered by your tenants, you can afford do a couple of these seed rounds a year.

The only way anyone makes real money is with leverage, and the duplex is low risk secured leverage. At the other end of the spectrum, you could just put it into a robinhood account and buy stonks and hang out on WSB, but post-pandemic govts with their own currencies don't need good markets or economies to stay in power anymore, and inflationary policies are about impoverishing people, so they benefit from destroying the markets. This is handwavy, but I take insight over advice any day.

If you understand the difference between the real and the represented, you can live like an actual king for very little money. Suffice it to say that nothing makes you poorer than trying to be middle class, as by definition, poverty is when you don't value what you have. Frugality is bargaining with a universe that doesn't care, and the thing about the greatest pleasures is they are always worth it by a significant multiple. This is to say, don't spend a penny on yourself until you know the person you are spending it on will appreciate it, and you have read the stoics, imo.

How so? Does Rust have zero runtime overhead? I would find that hard to believe.
JS uses an event-loop (which is really just a variation of a message/event queue that we've been using for GUI based applications for decades now). If you understand this, asynchronous code in JS is pretty easy to understand.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Even...

You can go from nothing to mostly full-fledged promises in about 200 lines of code: ex - https://www.promisejs.org/implementing/

async/await is pure sugar on top of promises (it's literally just wrapping the rest of the function in a .then() for you, and coercing the return value of your function to always be a promise)
You stated the percentage of COVID patients in the ICU who are under 65. What you didn't state is:

1) Are ICUs in Ireland being pushed to capacity or not?
2) What percentage of ICU beds are occupied by the totality of covid patients?

These two details are crucial to understanding whether the small percentage of covid CASES that become HOSPITALIZATIONS is significant enough in number to impact the ICUs. Based on every piece of data I've seen regarding the percentage of young people without comorbidities who get hospitalized after infection, it's probably overblown.

Based on this dashboard, there are a TOTAL of 108 people currently in Irish ICUs for covid. This is out of a total population of just over 5 million people.

https://covid19ireland-geohive.hub.arcgis.com/pages/hospital...

At the peak of delta, there were 218 people in the ICUs in Ireland for COViD. Ireland doesn't have enough ICU beds is what I would infer if this is "overwhelming the hospital system" there. I live in Colorado, and these numbers are nothing compared to the hospitalizations we had, and we have a similar population.
it looks like they want a code representation better than text

tbh basic text is a fine storage tool, we just need better incremental analyses and tools to display and manipulate that text as more

The source is okay, the problem is that there's really no docs/examples for even the basic stuff. Do you want to boot from a virtual block device and PXE from a network drive ... well, maybe these 300 command line arguments in some random order will work. Eventually. Have fun. So reading the source is a big help in that. But it's not ideal. And libvirt/oVirt/etc are helpful, but not for just that quick and dirty "let's try something out with the linux kernel in qemu" thing.

Isn't this "doctrine of the foregone conclusion" exactly how the west operates? Not too long ago there was an invasion of Iraq over some WMDs that unnamed "intelligence sources" were absolutely certain were about to be used for some horrible things. These were never found. Now these same "intelligence services" are the only source of information that Russia is preparing for an invasion. If you were Russian, hearing this would make you very scared indeed (and it does).

Meritocracy is not that everyone should get the same for the same effort though. It's that everyone should get the same for the same value they sell. And yes value is subjective and always changing and not the same everywhere.

Everything is "unfair" from a perspective. Two people working the exact same job and putting in the same effort, if one person packs twice the number of boxes it would also be unfair to pay them the same as the other person who is creating only half the value for the person paying them.

I've used pandas off and on for the better of a seven or eight years and, unlike other python libraries, I always feel like I'm starting from scratch every time I begin a new project. following a tutorial/official API on a second screen just to remember how to do fairly basic stuff.

The reason is that once I'm done building whatever model I've needed it works so well I don't have to touch it again for a few years and I forget everything I learned (or the API changes again).

Usually the point of not having a master switch is to retain the ability to retire old "features" and create new almost identical "features" that you need to opt out of again (if you even notice the change). Don't know if T-Mobile specifically is doing that or will be doing that or not, but the smell is there.

Completely agree, it is great for stop and go traffic.
Detachment does not equal resentment. I find that the whole “you must be fully devoted to your work or you are doing something wrong” ethos to be uniquely American, and pretty troubling when forced.

It is possible for someone to go in to work, do what they are supposed to do, and then go home, all without being overly “bought in” or making people miserable. Heck I feel more miserable when someone is forcing team building events or drinks with coworkers after work.

People also have the ability to partition their work and personal lives such that one does not affect the other at all. I personally never check my work phone after hours, while there are several people who are active on project or social channels at all times of day or night.

There’s nothing wrong with any of this. People have different approaches to the concept of corporate work and what part of their lives to devote to it.

They also tested plant protein (read further down):

So, for whatever reason, it was only animal protein in this study. Previous studies in younger populations have shown benefits of plant protein, though.
I've done three of seven Mindbloom sessions so far. The first gave me a resolution to a deeply ingrained and painful pattern like the one you're describing, which I have worked on for years, in a matter of minutes. The second, which I did on a day when I felt rushed, was disappointingly mild. The third, during which I wasn't rushed but was pretty tired, was intense and pleasant, but didn't offer any epiphanies like the first session did. I'm planning to give mindset and setting very high priority on my remaining session days in hopes of having more significant experiences.

One miracle out of three attempts isn't bad, so I'm very happy I gave it a try. For an interesting overview of psychedelic therapy generally, check out "How To Change Your Mind" by Michael Pollan.

It's a term for the nature of a problem, not a library or software package. It looks like they have designed the API so that "embarrassingly parallel" problems can naturally be computed using Polars. That would be fantastic, much better than Pandas. The way they write it sounds like marketing fluff to me and that's a shame because Polars looks like a useful thing.
Try to always remember that bad things must exist so that good things can exist. Without bad things, we cannot have good things. This is called duality or inter-being in Buddhism.

Take water as one example. It causes trees to grow that we use to build our houses, but it can also cause wood to rot and decay. Water gives life, but it also takes it away. If rot and decay were to disappear, we could not have solid wood to use and enjoy. We can replace rotting wood and rebuild houses when they decay.

Everything will be OK. Both good and bad things are part of life. They need each other.
