What I do spiritually: Meditation - it's proven to have health benefits, even in purely non-spiritual setting. Besides that: trying to be good in general, etc. Experience love and gratefulness.

What I think it's there: My main point of inspiration are "near death experiences". There is solid evidence they are not just hallucinations of dying brain. The primary argument that they are not hallucinations is obtaining independently verifiable information observed during "leaving the body" during near death experiences. Ed Kelly (professor at UVA DOPS) said that he collected over 100 cases, when the person leaving the body during the NDE observed information that couldn't be physically observed, known prior to NDE, guessed or hallucinated using known information and credibility of verifying professional wasn't questioned. Many of the reports included information obtained minutes after the cardiac arrest. Many of the reports included reports from different locations (e.g. Wife traveling to meet dying husband with 4 people, earlier than planned). People blind from birth describing independently verified visual information.

ehh… It is pretty easy to use but there's way too much bundled stuff in there, you're always under FreeRTOS, and Wi-Fi support is all proprietary blobs (but that's unfortunately the case with every embedded Wi-Fi chip… unlike Bluetooth LE with has multiple fully FOSS implementations)

That’s actually an excellent point. Selling is an underrated form of art and essential for any successful venture.
It reminds me of the drawings by John E. Weaver from the thirties [1]. They were made by painstakingly digging a deep trench to study and sketch the roots. They did it multiple times for each crop to get a sense of how they develop in time.

I think your argument only shows that k-th point lies inside the k-th approximation of the Sierpinsky triangle, but says nothing abiut the fact that the final picture loooks like the Sierpisnsky triangle.
The MediaTek wifi AX platform is supported by OpenWrt master and also supported by upstream Linux including AX wifi. (MediaTek contributes a lot to upstream kernel)

* MT7622 SoC (2x Cortex-A53, including 4x4 ieee80211n wifi integrated in MT7622 and supported by upstream kernel too)
* MT7915 Wifi 6 (ieee80211ax) 4x4
* MT7530 5 port 1G switch (2.5G uplink)

You can find this hardware in the following devices:

* Linksys E8450 / Belkin RT3200 (same device just different name and color of casing)
* Ubiquiti UniFi 6 LR

That's not true, I've used both Whatsapp and Telegram via Android Auto before. Besides navigation/media/communication, what kind of applications do you think would be useful to have with Android Auto anyways?

Checkout supported platforms for qemu and better renode. There you also have debugging interfaces.

Stressfree qemu support was only for my even smaller avr targets, the 1281. But AVR is crazy compared to the Cortex-M4. We switched to arm completely, no avr's anymore. Anyway, no need for qemu or other emulators, when you can easily write simulators. You just throw in some mmaps, the simulated libc, the UART, and networking. Much better than emulators.

A few days ago I finally stopped doing something very similar.

As fascinating as the data could be (I never managed to transform it like this), the constant recording of every single thing made me stop enjoying things. It made me hyper-conscious of everything going on in my body as the primary goal was to figure out some health issues. Everything I felt or did seemed to have an "event handler" attached to it.

I now just stick to one line a day in a spreadsheet as a sort of diary.

To anyone attempting it:

1. Figure out what you want to do with the data first. Even if you just want some pretty graphs, create some random test data and set everything up so you can see these graphs. Don't just throw data into a black hole for years.

2. Make sure recording the data is as easy and comfortable as possible. That android app from the article looks good, but you have to be absolutely sure it's okay to use many times a day. Be aware that there's no good answer to "why do you keep reaching for your phone all the time?".

You're spot on, it might not fix the entire problem but it's a good start and can help waking people up.

This rent economy is horseshit. "You will own nothing and be happy". In reality we keep paying for things we never get to own, then one day have them arbitrarily taken away from us if the company feels like it. Remember how we used to buy things and then they were ours? Like the music we paid for. Now people have a subscription and when it ends your entire library gets deleted. I still don't understand how the majority of people actually signed up for this, it's a horrible deal that doesn't benefit them one bit.
According to Microsoft's data, about 70% of security vulnerabilities are memory safety bugs. So definitely not all, but taking them off the table makes a big difference.

https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-70-percent-of-all-se...

Another big chunk of bugs, including forgetting to escape strings, can often be reduced by building strongly-typed APIs that distinguish between "String", "Sql" and "Html" types.

Java actually does quite well by these metrics. It's memory safe, tries to eliminate undefined behaviors, and it has an adequate type system. However, the mere existence of runtime code-loading is a risk, as we saw with Log4j.
Who are those people?

I visited Indonesia in 2005 and people were quite poor and didn’t have internet on phones or at home. But it still seemed like most people had visited an Internet cafe.
There are quite a few of us knocking around out here. I have many friends in their 40s through to one in his 80s (!) who got sick of the West for various reasons and came out here and found a better life.

It's not just the rampant ageism. In the UK, nowadays, if you actually want to leave the office and go for lunch, that is frowned upon. Especially in the financial sector, dedication means eating at your desk and a few hours of unpaid overtime every day as standard.

Here, my bosses chase me out of the office for lunch every day. Many locals bring their own food in, in which case, you're expected to go for a walk for half an hour or something. It's the law: you must take a break.

It's a far healthier working culture.

Also, of course, Americans need to remember that you get at least 4 weeks of paid time off every year and free unlimited healthcare with no restrictions. Women get a minimum of one year of paid maternity leave, which can be extended to 3 or 4 years (but the same fixed amount of money is spread out over that time, so the longer you take, the less you get each month... But still...)
That's a harsh truth that's easily ignored, especially by people who didn't grow up in diverse communities. During my education the "behavioral bell curve" for each culture was clearly not centered in the same place. One population had a lot less free time at home than the rest of us, and their grades and eventual careers reflected that. Another population made up a majority of the disruptive pupils who didn't seem to care all that much about their performance. A third was far less driven than the first but much better behaved than the second. The trajectories of these populations largely reflected the manner in which they were raised.

To be clear, there was nothing inherently superior or inferior about any of these kids. All the populations had outliers in both directions. That's also not to say the academically maladapted nature of some cultures are exclusively or even primarily the fault of those cultures. I do, however, believe the continued determination to not address these disadvantages represents a failure on the part of educators just as surely as a refusal to address visually-impaired students would be a failure.
How dare they try to circumvent Apple's magnanimous and generous 30% profit cut and offer a cheaper subscription?
No, JNDI is an API for accessing remote code. It stands for Java Naming and Directory Interface. Not supporting LDAP, the most common remote directory, would have been a flaw.

The flaw was in log4j's use of the library which allowed remotely connecting and executing code by default based on connection strings which were possibly user-entered.
Having so many issues. Cloning repos, setting up containers for the actions. Downloading packages with the API, logging in to the container service. Just, everything really. Totally killing my efficiency today, I am sure I have retried dozens of CI jobs by now. And nothing on the status page.
It's a quick and easy way to dramatically increase their user base.

At the moment nobody can complete with Steam because Steam has most of their games. If there would be a way to transfer games between services, services would have to compete and what services they offer instead of just relying on user lock-in.
If they wanted to allow an open second hand market for nonphysical game copies, where you can separate out single games from your account, I'd say that the NFT approach might be one of the easier ways to do it. Downright practical. I'd even go so far as suggesting that this could be one of the least nonsensical NFT use cases.

But all that does not change the fact that they can't possibly want a second hand market. Leaving the old licence to whoever paid full price and selling anothor copy at long tail volume rebate is what pays the server bill.
Never heard of E.O. Wilson before now, but his work sounds fascinating. Anyone have any suggestions on how to break into his stuff? Sounds like he has 30 or so books, is "On Human Nature" a good start?

I'm not at all religious, so I have no "higher power" to guide me, instead I just put on one of my favourite albums and close my eyes for an hour. The albums I like are very progressive and trance-like so it's kinda like my own personal form of meditation. I don't really use the time to reflect or focus on anything, but having the time for myself is nice for my brain
I'm sorry, but that gives me "draw the rest of the fucking owl" vibes. You're basically restating the algorithm's definition -- it's the rest of the proof that contains the interesting steps.

Edit: In my view, to show that this draws the Sierpinsky triangle, one would need to show that (1) we only draw points that are in the Sierpinski triangle and (2) we draw all the points of the Sierpinski triangle.

(1) is clearly false (we start with a random point), but the claim is of course only that we draw an “approximation”. What that means exactly would need to be defined. I assume a rigorous argument would involve 2D probability densities. Given that, (2) isn’t obvious to me as well, what’s the argument that all the parts of the Sierpinski shape correspond to areas with high probability density?
Because we don't tax cheap non-biodegradable things and don't really care about dismissal.

Have you not?
I'm an atheist, and don't believe in the supernatural per se. To me, the supernatural is best described by Harold Abelson in Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs:

> We are about to study the idea of a computational process. Computational processes are abstract beings that inhabit computers. As they evolve, processes manipulate other abstract things called data. The evolution of a process is directed by a pattern of rules called a program. People create programs to direct processes. In effect, we conjure the spirits of the computer with our spells.

> A computational process is indeed much like a sorcerer's idea of a spirit. It cannot be seen or touched. It is not composed of matter at all. However, it is very real. It can perform intellectual work. It can answer questions. It can affect the world by disbursing money at a bank or by controlling a robot arm in a factory. The programs we use to conjure processes are like a sorcerer's spells. They are carefully composed from symbolic expressions in arcane and esoteric programming languages that prescribe the tasks we want our processes to perform.

> A computational process, in a correctly working computer, executes programs precisely and accurately. Thus, like the sorcerer's apprentice, novice programmers must learn to understand and to anticipate the consequences of their conjuring. Even small errors (usually called bugs or glitches) in programs can have complex and unanticipated consequences.

I do think the supernatural exists but simply as perceived emergent properties of natual systems. For example, most of us have experienced love and might describe it as a supernatural experience. That is a real experience to most of us. Yet we know that in reality, the experience we had emerged from a complex set of natual systems (hormones, brainwaves, etc) that are far beyond our understanding.

So to answer your question, my spirital practices are things that increase my wellbeing and bring about these supernatural experiences.

Regularly: breath-focused meditation, time in nature, swimming laps, sex, burning incense, journaling/reflection.

Occasionally: fasting, ayahuasca, solitude retreats.

> Do you have more to share, like resources about capability-safe languages, or your ongoing work?

I can share an example from the main function of the self hosting Firefly compiler [1]:

main(system: System): Unit {
...
let fs = system.files()
if(fs.exists(tempPath)) { deleteDirectory(fs, tempPath) }
...
}

deleteDirectory(fs: FileSystem, outputFile: String): Unit {
fs.list(outputFile).each { file =>
if(fs.isDirectory(file)) {
deleteDirectory(fs, file)
} else {
fs.delete(file)
}
}
fs.delete(outputFile)
}

Main is passed `System`, which is a value with methods to access the network, the file system, etc. It passes on the `FileSystem` value to `deleteDirectory`, which only has methods to access the file system.

Since there's no other way for `deleteDirectory` to obtain capabilities than to recieve them as arguments, `deleteDirectory` only has access to the file system.

> That's interesting. How does that work? Is it by passing around a value from your main function to the functions that need it?

Exactly; such arguments can themselves be seen as "coloring", since they show up in the function signature. However, an important distinction is that you can capture capabilities in the fields of an object or in closures, and thus get rid of the coloring.

The Firefly language is quite far along - nearly feature complete, and translating itself. However, there's a lot of work left before it becomes a viable alternative to existing languages, not least in the tooling and documentation department.

I have snap-in prescription lenses for my Quest 2, but before I got them I just wore it over my glasses and that was tolerably OK. I would still recommend getting the ($70) snap-in lenses, though.

It is pretty convenient to get going, at least for onboard apps - I haven't tried the PCVR support. You pretty much just put it on and you're off and running.
Don't choke now!

Until You actually have the degree there is no point in worrying about staying competitive.

Many people have a hard time finishing what they start, in some ways that is the hardest part of a job or school. There are plenty of dreamers out there with unrealized degrees and unfished projects that seem to go through life bouncing from one idea or job to the next. Successful people have the fortitude to put in the hard work and achieve the goals they set out in the beginning.

If You are truly about to get your degree, don't sabotage your success by quitting now.
I see there is no final weight yet. With an i7 you need decent cooling and larger batteries, which adds more weight. This thing looks like it has the potential to be really cool, but if it's so heavy that it causes neck pain, it's not gonna be super useful.
My "favorite" story is a certain not to be named French university which was polite enough to inform me that they block all email from .org domains.
I find Norvig’s style of Python a bit odd as it diverges from PEP-8ish style I’m accustomed to. Nothing wrong with it but he’ll redefine things, put functions on one line, etc. The good thing is that I challenges my understanding of what you can do with the language and how simple and expressive it can be.

For example I found this line of code cute. So much going on — no function definition, just a string literal method being assigned to a name (which any Linux programmer would get but a windows one may not).

cat = ''.join
I would add: stopping to realize and appreciate that the universe and our existence is incredible.

Intellectual property does not make sense on theory or in real life.

When you "buy" a game you are paying for convenience, for server access, for updates & support, and for other platform services like storing saves at cloud. You don't own a thing and pirating a game while illegal is trivial.

The issue here was putting money on a shitty service that does not care about it's customers experience. I have spent thousands of dollars on Steam. I don't expect my account to be terminated after 1 year of activity but I also don't expect it to last forever and to be able to pass it to descendants.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Redshift's value proposition was not that it was the first DWH system, but that it was the first one that could scale up and down and be charged by the minute.
"The Margin Alien" is also a nice mnemonic.

On my deathbed I'll certainly remember few of mnemonics, incl.:

- meaning of a word 'duress' in English ("Durable Durex used under duress.")

- name of a variety of cherry tree, Shidare Sakura, I was sent to buy ("She dares to drink sake.")

For me 'Brain Pickings' was always a nice name with vivid meaning.
You don’t need to be anywhere near a resource’s exhaustion for its finitude to affect how people value it. Look at any valuable natural resource.

Do you find the performance satisfactory enough for daily browsing?
I mean, obviously using different languages has different trade offs in many dimensions. If speed were all that mattered then everything would be written in assembler.

But the point at issue is that by using java you are trading off speed (potentially for other benefits).

By the way - tantivy at least is implemented in rust so it shouldn’t suffer from memory safety issues just as lucene shouldn’t. And the rust language will provide some guarantees that java doesn’t - like freedom from data races.
