Honestly, the best people to make that kind of judgement would be the person's personal relatives. It seems like Feynman's estate is selling the objects, it's not like someone robbed his grave.

They certainly try their best to look cool. All of the pilots I've worked with wore a flight suit every chance they got. They probably mow their lawns in Nomex and aviators.
“ But in my organization (military) it is normal for the more senior people to work those shifts.”

I remember reading a story about Jim Mattis (back before he was famous). A fellow general showed up, found Gen. Mattis was the duty officer on Christmas Day, and asked him how he got stuck with that.

Gen. Mattis told him, “Well, the young man who was scheduled for duty today has a family, and I decided it was more important for him to spend the time with them. So I took his place.”
> ...make sure you have a copy of the same OS available to you as you help.

Hard to overemphasize this aspect. I would even add this to the localization level, as some menus and even keymaps differences could turn a simple task into madness!

Also, have limitless patience and wisdom to postpone some stubborn task for next, hopefully more relaxed time. Better yet set things up in person, if possible ahead of time, to avoid all the unnecessary annoyance.

This all assumes the receiving side indeed wants this type of assistance, as too often people in age may prefer to rely upon their time-provem and familiar ways to deal with tasks.
I think part of that is that a lot of infrastructure is missing, but also culturally less wasteful than American lifestyles. For example I stayed in my Japanese friend's house in Tokyo and he doesn't heat the entire place even though it's a pretty small apartment. My room just had a heated blanket as well.

But I agree, for any random foreigner the government is not competent enough to surveil him/her and much less motivated to do so. The fact is any given foreigner is not actually that important...
Almost all of my close family is on Apple as well.

For the others, unless they're really close or really desperate, I tell them that I haven't used Windows in many years (which is pretty much true, other than testing sites and so on to make sure they work in Windows browsers), so I can't really give them good advice.

There's one relative that uses Linux, but he doesn't generally need my help. Heh.
And here I was ready to sharpen my pitchfork. Thanks for communicating the error and the correction. I know this time of year can be especially challenging.

Ironically, the 1st amendment of the US Constitution will protect his speech. As Americans we have the RIGHT to express religion free from government intrusion, that includes officials of the government contrary to what the Freedom from religion crowd believes.

I do wonder, do you feel the same about members of congress from the Islam religion wearing religious clothing, and symbols while conducting Official US Business? How about Jewish members?

Or do you reserve your offense only for Christians?

I want to add to this... i set a goal a while back of doing the equivalent point in duolingo every day of like 2 or 3 lessons. that didn't work in the long term and the streak went away and i lost the motivation to keep "stubbing my toe" so to speak every few days. I changed it to 1 lesson a day and the streak is almost 700 days in a row now and there is usually some motivation to do an extra few lessons or not once you get going. but just doing it and making the goals small will build those habits. I would say start really, really small in the goals and it will pay off. do 5 pushups or even if it's just one pushup it will add up and make it more manageable and more likely that you will stick with it.
I heartily recommend the r/bodyweightfitness's Recommended Routine (https://old.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/wiki/kb/recommend...). I found it extremely reasonable, convincing, and beginner-friendly. It has detailed progressions on what to start from if you can't do a pushup or other (all the way up to if you can do it on one hand or whatever), and is absolutely not condescending, instead gives amazingly practical advice. It doesn't ask you to do more than 8 repetitions of any major exercise ever in a series, regardless how advanced you are, and there's whole ton of explanations why it's enough and why physiologically the freaking breaks between exercises are important and must not be shortened. I found it amazingly anti-bullshit yet super approachable.
I think there's a lot of luck involved in being able to do the very first step of that, which is why I really haven't concerned myself with it. It seems to me like the people who seek this are also hyper anxious about their careers and money.

In contrast to what you describe, I find that with the intention to do this sort of thing, you end up predicating your interests based on the price of them entirely, rather than being frugal within them. Camping requires a tent, but if you're not willing to buy one and maybe a backpack and some shoes, you're just dull. I did do this for a period of time, and I look back on it largely with thanks that I didn't continue.

Sometimes this is sensible, sometimes it's not. Getting into car racing or mountaineering is just inherently very very costly, so I'd not blame someone for avoiding them even if they did have the cash. There is just a certain amount of unpleasentness involved in not excessively not spending coupled with excessively working.

Not if environmentalists also managed to shut down or replace consumers of coal, such as power plants.

Since power plants are usually run by utility companies that often have governments as major shareholders and the general public (including environmentalists and people sympathetic to their goals) as direct customers, they are more likely to be receptive to pressure than coal mines, which are often privately held corporations that sell into the anonymity of bulk markets.
Was not my experience. The system npm was either too new or too old for the codebase I picked (can't remember). So uninstalled, installed a different one, then some unfixable issue with something called fsevents, other issues regarding "peer dependencies", etc. Similar issues with the second one I tried.

The third project I went with went much better, though it was still difficult to learn things (even if they are working) as every project seems to choose different build/deploy tools.

If there was a plausible evil plan behind this licensing silliness, I'd shut up about it. But there isn't. The insinuations being made on this thread (still! continously!) are embarrassing. It's not that I think Microsoft is incapable of putting together a solid heist; it's that observers here have such bad taste in heists.

Your description immediately made me think of the TI SN76577 "Complex Sound Generator" IC [1]. If I'm not mistaken it was used in the early versions of the MB Games Electronic Battleship game (think falling missile and white-noise explosion sounds).

Edit: Not a decap, but this page [2] has links to the datasheet and other reference material that includes a block diagram, and even has circuit diagrams of the internal circuitry.

Bad reviews are pretty much expected for a project that are built in public like the Block Editor, and lots of them actually help to build a better product in the end. A final version was never meant to be released at once.
My biggest hurdle with JavaScript was getting things to happen in order. Functions can be unexpectedly colorful[0] and contortions and boilerplate is needed to deal with that. What was unintuitive to me was a lot of interactions with the DOM are asynchronous without being explicit about it. So you've got to chain a bunch of asynchronous calls together to make sure a sequence of events occur. Most other languages make this sort of asynchronous callback hell explicit.

Once you understand this aspect of the language it's an annoying (to me) idiosyncrasy but manageable. Before you understand it there's a lot of pouring over poorly written tutorials that gloss over it like it should be obvious.

Honestly, I'm not sure what happened here.

My guess is that they were going through a checklist of what to do when releasing open source changes, and didn't understand what they were doing.

A lot of why we've had to put some guardrails in our system has been to point people to guidance and training on open source.

I've sent the team that works on this repository an e-mail, but I don't expect to get a response on the holiday.

The options are things such as staccato notes vs held notes or making the chip loop continuously. These are implemented in the logic section through connections in the metal layer to power or ground. In other words, different versions of the chip have the metal layer constructed slightly differently to obtain different behavior.

> She believes crazy things

I understand your frustration, Simone, but these are the times in which what in your area was called, I believe, "Come Cristo Comanda" (expression for "properly"), was replaced as "Obsessive Compulsive Tendency". Superficiality, the bar. Communication level, the shout.

Your resort is discussion.

Removed the illusionary veil, the same figure that twenty years ago shouted "Education, Education, Education" as The Cure - and it is -, now uses the qualification of "idiots" (or similar) for (apparently) people who take decisions he cannot understand. Clearly, education is interaction, communication, and the latter is its opposite.

By the way: you are calling the friend with «extreme ... views», «very intelligent». If she is intelligent, how can she now believe lunacies? She should have become a lunatic to believe lunacies. There is full appearance of miscommunication in your relation. If you are right, you should be able to convince her. If she is, she should be able to convince you. Ask her to convince you. You don't seem to be debating.
> I get the feeling much of academia shuts down such attempts to preserve their grip on knowledge and thus their authority.

There’s no need to go all conspiracy theory on it. “People who like doing things like doing them”, i.e. if you like doing protein chemistry you probably like talking about it with other people who do, but aren’t really into, or don’t even know how to talk to people who aren’t into it. The closest to that you’re likely to get is writing grant applications, which are typically read by people who’s are generally knowledgeable about your domain.

The kind of translation you’re talking about is itself generally the domain of specialists, such as science journalists.

And as for “preserving their grip”: typically institutions are the opposite, doing their best to get the message out, all to better their reputation and improve probability of grants and donations. That’s what university press offices do.

Can boiling sulfuric acid like you used to dissolve the epoxy package be used to successfully de-bayer a CMOS camera sensor?
Agree. The lack of tests has been the biggest regret of mine for this project. It started as a hackathon project a long time ago, and as it grew up, it never got the testing investment it deserved. I imagine the code coverage is about 0.001% and there's no end-to-end tests in place.
> Is autism something we can test for in the womb?

No.

> I'm sure that some people who like their autism will be upset about "eugenics", but frankly, we don't have to be God damn Nazis to acknowledge that acting eugenicily is good and advocating for disgenic behavior is bad long term.

Well you can pretty much say that Nazism is a natural, logical endpoint of eugenicist beliefs. If others decide not to cooperate in your little project of eliminating "dysgenic" traits then you'll have to compel them with force.
Converting the CR2 (Canon) to DNG tends to double or even triple it's size, but I haven't tried compressing it afterwards.

No, there has not been an independent audit. I’m not sure How that would improve confidence as the auditors would still just be reviewing data provided by some of the best data scientists in the world, so if they’re going to lie they will regardless.

However, the official Tesla stats show it’s about 3.5x safer to use autopilot vs manually drive a Tesla. It’s about 9x safer to use autopilot than to manually drive an “average” car.

As distasteful as the idea of an Identity Brand is, it’s hard to argue with the results. If a new product, especially a software product, would gain a foothold in the crowded software market, it’s better to focus on how the end user will become a better version of themselves than on pretty much any attribute of the software itself.

Apple, for example, is a clear winner in the identity branding business.

That's actually not a contradiction but a well-known phenomenon. In any given country, the area with the least immigration is often times the most vocally xenophobic.
unprecedented? The PRC is still pursuing Imperial Qing claims to this day.
Agree with you there. I see it as manifestations of fear, tribalism, and short-sighted oversimplification around complex issues. Without wanting to dive deeper into any of those topics, I believe there are similar mechanism at play on a larger scale in COVID-conspiracy theories and the re-emergence of Western xenophobia/nationalism.

It can be hard to assume good faith when your counterpart clearly isn't. But I think it can be at least as important then. We need to come together and find common ground.

I'm full stack so while I use pg plenty I'm not an expert ..

but wouldn't creating a cache table that auto updates counts maybe automatically or on a schedule(if counts come fast and need locking) be a decent method?

then it's as simple as select count from counter_cache where table=posts and related_table=user and related_id=1... which would get all that users posts as a count...

I guess you could do similar with views or material views but I haven't used them much at all to know when to... really I'm in php/MySQL more than pg but have been dabbling with hasura and creating stored functions in some side projects...
> The point you seem to be conveying is that there is nothing wrong with the communication that was sent out.

The root of this thread, which I responded to, was about time spent from emails and money "burned" dealing with them because the people had to figure out whether it applied to them and/or respond appropriately.

In that context, I don't believe this is time wasted, it's time people spent learning about something they should already have paid attention to. The "wasted" time is from people or departments responding that already knew their liability (or lack thereof) and had to write another email explaining or pointing towards their documentation, or send the form letter. That actually wasted time is likely far less than was posited.

Should these researched have done this? No. Was it a complete waste of everyone's time that was contacted? I also think no, it wasn't. These were real laws and what was requested was legally required of the people that it applied to, and even for the people it didn't apply to, any random person on the internet could have sent a similar request (either correctly or incorrectly asserting their rights), and the recipients would have had to deal with it just the same. That's what I mean by "any random individual". It's not to say what the researched did was okay, but just to note that if someone is considering all the time people spent dealing with the email and figuring out if it applied to them, I do not consider that entirely wasted time. These are real laws, and people that run sites should be aware of them.

I've repeatedly said that what the researchers did is not acceptable, that they acted like assholes, etc. What I've trying to do is separate the initiating action from the outcome, and make a point about the outcome. Not for the purpose of defending the researchers, but because I think it's important that people understand the liability they expose themselves to just by running these sites, as if they do and they find that problematic, maybe we'll get enough visibility to change the laws in beneficial ways. At a minimum they'll know how to protect themselves in the future if they get a real request that needs to be dealt with within a specific time frame because of the law.

In any case, thanks for taking the time to summarize what you thought my point was. Not everyone would be willing to put in the effort in order to attempt an actual understanding with the other party in a discussion. :)
Your naivete is unsurprising; it was one of the traits you were selected for in trip planning.

Countries spy on foreign visitors. Friendship trips are carefully planned to show none of the underside of a society. China is one of the most oppressive regimes out there - see the detention of Jack Ma, who was five years ago one of their most celebrated businessmen.
Sure. Probably not. But I think anyone who's booking an appointment with a doctor at least have some basis for believing they might meet the diagnostic criteria.

IMO the most impactful improvement for Ractors right now needs to come from the community, because third-party Gems with C-extensions need to explicitly opt themselves in as Ractor-safe: https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/doc/extension_rdoc.html...

"By default, all C extensions are recognized as Ractor-unsafe. If C extension becomes Ractor-safe, the extension should call `rb_ext_ractor_safe(true)` at the `Init_` function and all defined method marked as Ractor-safe. Ractor-unsafe C-methods only been called from main-ractor. If non-main ractor calls it, then `Ractor::UnsafeError` is raised."

I've submitted a few such patches for my own personal use, and it's a very trivial change for extensions which keep no state in C-land that would need to be synchronized between Ractors, e.g. https://github.com/dearblue/ruby-extattr/pull/1
Sometimes I forget about npm v7-8 (the latest versions). They're "backwards compatible" if you consider "breaks everything" a form of backwards compatibility.

So maybe you're right. Perhaps everything is terrible everywhere.

The worse side about these things is that you can't vent out your sadness or general feelings to anyone. Which is I think what people really need. Not a huge host of siblings and friends but just emotional closure to have your feelings validated and accepted. It's okay to feel sad, it's okay to not to feel sad.

It's hard to do so without being really close with someone but I wish all could have speck of shared empathy from this thread. We are not just boxes of text but real people around the world who all have their share of good and bad. Pushing away feelings does work and you get lot of things done doing so. But I don't recommend doing so in the long run - the re-prioritization can be quite shock once you notice all the stuff don't bring you that much joy.
