>I believe that ALL "traits" can be explained by social environment rather than by biology.

That probably "feels right" to say, but is it backed up with data? DNA is a real thing, not a social construct.
It's a completely fair answer to OP's question and does not bother me. It contributes to the discussion because it reminds us that some people don't feel the need for a ritualistic form of spirituality.

It improves the probability, but it's not a requirement, and sometimes it doesn't increase the probability at all.
"my Holy Book is the only religious authority"

Sounds like idolatry to me -- sounds like you are taking a book, written, edited, and organized by human beings, and equating it with God.
I’m glad the pillaging of my country is funny to you.
It's similar in Denmark. I basically got three months pay in compensation when I changed jobs while under a non-compete - which ironically incentivizes finding a new job.
As that thread confirms, you do need backup in a cold climate, even with a ton of insulation. Amounts of insulating including R50 and R70, which is pretty mind blowing (and are difficult and expensive to accomplish in practice due to thermal bridging/‘leaks’).

Some folks in less severe climates (like New Hampshire) seemed to get by with baking and other managed appliance heat. That does require you spend time doing, and orient your activities around, things to produce heat to stay warm. Some will find that palatable, others won’t.

Posters in Colder climates (like Ontario) noted propane, or thermal mass heaters (such as the rocket heater in the thread).

‘Then the propane could make up the modest difference on long cold cloudy stretches.’

Thanks for the explanation. So it seems like these repos are just scripts to download content and decode it once you have a CDM then? Seems like the actual CDMs here are ripped from devices and not actually included in this leak from a cursory glance.

Edit: Yep this is what is happening, but there is an L1 CDM in the Lenovo repo. I should read the article before jumping in to the comments/code. :)

I have given up on trying to find a consumer all-in-one router/ap combo and just have a dedicated router and dedicated access points. You can simply block all the Internet traffic for your access points and you will have more options to pick from for the router part. I am now running on a NanoPi R2S with some TP-Link Omada access points and I didn't have to touch anything for almost two years since I decided on this setup :)
Was very enlightening, thank you!!
I'm depressed about rC3. I totally get that we can't meet up in person and hack all day but this year I've been so unexcited about rC3 that I didn't even bother to get a (free) ticket.

Of course, I value everybody's enthusiasm towards continuing a tradition. I'm happy the scene continues to do their best and I'm grateful to be able to listening in the talks.

But it still feels off. The congress and other chaos events are so much more than what the live streams portait. It's exhibition halls full of nerds. Waves of applauses and cheering of everyone's excitement. Pixelflut, tschunk, blinking LEDs and having an awesome time with my haxor friends for 3 days a year.

Fingers crossed that we can meet in person next year!
The App form factor is better suited to the user mental model of something they use daily. It has both higher stickiness AND it slots with their expectations. I made a mental shortcut of bundling these 2 together.

By definition I cannot provide the entire truth because only a slice of reality is available to me.

As such, the only "not contradictory" response to "is this entire truth" is no. Ergo you are correct.
You should extrapolate that out a couple of hundred years and see what happens. Might make a good movie.
It's a social network. Logged-in users see ads on their dashboard (activity feed), which makes up most of Tumblr's traffic.

If you're only ever viewing Tumblr "pages" from the public blog network and without an account, you have never really interacted with the majority of the product. It would be like if your only experience with Facebook was viewing businesses' public Pages without an account, and then wondering what their business model is because there's no ads on FB Pages.

Your point of confusion is a common one though, which really speaks to Tumblr's biggest marketing failure. Sadly, it also indicates that those login walls/nags on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Reddit, etc are actually somehow necessary for people to grok a social product that has a public-facing component.
> A degree can be a valuable signal to employers and also be a terrible waste of time and resources. It can be both at once.

Sure, but it answers the question of why a degree is “needed”, and that is given the supply and demand curves for labor, the suppliers of labor need it to compete with each other.

Maybe I'm dense, but I could not figure out how to use my netgear wi-fi AP without registering your account. Same with TP-link. What's worse, is the TP-link didn't say "requires registration" on the box.

The cyberpunks were by far the most prophetic of all science fiction writers, and I feel like this kind of insight is what drove that. They put forward a future where they were optimistic about technology and neutral to pessimistic about human beings.
When I was about 7 years old I played HoMM 1 and later HoMM 2 with my dad. I didn't have a computer at my mother's house (parents are separated) so I started drawing the different game screens on large A3 and A2 sheets of paper to show it to my schoolmates.

We made character sheets, spell books, skill sheets and an ever expanding world map consisting of over a hundred A4 sheets. We basically invented a DnD-like role play where I was the game master, and it all started with me trying to emulate HoMM.

This epic campaign went on for over six years and had over 30 players, and several other kids made campaigns of their own that became popular as well (there was a "car-world" inspired by Need for Speed, a "Harry Potter-world" that was a strange mix between fantasy and high-tech, and several others).
And Clarke had a tendency to be free with his usage of the word Universe, sometimes using it to refer just to the Solar systems. It throws me off sometimes when reading his short stories.
I don't get how this would be even remotely helpful in real life. It's just a solution for a manmade problem. I know there are a lot of manmade problems getting circumvented by code but this time it's just all on us.
There exist inline insertion signalling standards (e.g. SCTE-35). These could be used for the insertion of ads. However, none of this signalling typically makes it into the final over-the-air or cable broadcast and so is not useful for ad detection.

To your question on segment lengths, ad spots have specific, predefined duration. In the US these are typically 15s, 30s and 60s (sometimes 45s). This property could be exploited to detect ads. Consider, for example, a video segment that's exactly 30s in duration and is repeated many times over multiple TV channels. It is very likely to be an ad.

I've missed alot of alpha by caring. I'm learning to read crowds and quantify capital inflows into specific assets now.

There is an unlimited amount of money for a limited amount of things to buy. In some markets it remains discerning such that there will never be an unlimited amount of things to buy because none of that money is ever going to pay attention to certain people. In other markets it is less discerning but there is a more limited amount of capital.

You can always push a project or company to do more valuable things after it is capitalized, far away from the original mission.

"I saw their plan, and my dad's plan was better"
As others have pointed out, a generalization of this method (iterated function systems) can generate a large class of fractals. There's a some fun software for generating these ( see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal_flame) which also adds coloring based on the sequence of function applications, resulting in a pattern that respects the fractal structure.

Going a step further, changing the "functions" over time can create smoothly animated fractals. Electric Sheep (https://electricsheep.org/) is a screensaver version of this which doubles as a distributed computing network to generate them. It also mixes in non-linear transformations which makes for some impressive, mesmerizing patterns.

> For loops are a bit strange too - you write

for (items) |item| {}

>, which means you specify the container before the per-element variable. Mentally I think of for as for something in many_things {} and so in Zig I constantly had to write it wrong and then rewrite.

That does feel like the syntax is missing an "each" or a "with", as in "for each somethings as some do" or "with each somethings as some" - or in a similar terse/compact syntax:

each (items) |item| {}

I'm surprised there's no mention about (lack of) string type - considering the domain (advent of code). I've not found the time to actually work on aoc this year, but I also had a brief look at starting with Zig - and quickly met a bit of a wall between the terse documententation on allocator, and the apparent lack of standard library support for working with strings.

I think the documentation will improve as the language stabilizes and there's likely to be more tutorials that work with text (both trivial like sirt/cat/tac in zig, and more useful like http or dns client and servers etc).
Implementation vs performance. And hand-coded assembly would likely be faster still. So what?

u/josephg's point is the that implementing equally performant code in 'C' was cost prohibitive for them.

This is applying the principle behind "economics of compiler optimizations" writ large. Not a religious battle.

The notion of equilibrium is something I always disagree with when I read environmentalists. The ecosystem is never in equilibrium. If it were it would be dead. If it reached a meta-stable state evolutionary change would halt.

An icy comet circling way out beyond Neptune is an example of a system somewhat near equilibrium.

I don't see how this is a counterargument, or highlighting any fallacy.

The article talks about hacks used to get around garbage collection in Java and increase performance, including memory mapped files and byte buffers. It also talks about the pain points of using these hacks and the costs they have to pay despite these hacks.

It also concludes that it is practical to build Git in a higher level language and JGit performs reasonably well, despite not getting quite C level performance or its memory utilization.

One of the students from my high school, who was orphaned at 11, enrolled himself to the military university. At that school, he got free education, free uniform and free boarding. Every graduates must commit themselves to serve the military for a number of years. He possibly figured out that it's a good way to be independent, to get a quality education and to earn a decent living.

That school in my country has not been trivial to get accepted. He aimed for good grades at high school and participated in sports teams.

Sure, but you can't force by law those decrepit buildings along the Minhocao to renovate. At least with advertising income they would be able to afford a paint job.

> how does advertising relates to development?

Everyone hates advertising, but it's an important driver for competition. A new business has no chance of breaking into an existing market without advertising, for instance (though I guess the internet has made outdoor ads less important). Not to mention the direct jobs that were lost with Cidade Limpa.
While I agree that the expectations for AI are too high, I think the use case described is almost achievable with today's tech.

I have a laptop from 2020 with a midrange CPU, 64GB of ram and a fast ssd. It is slower in almost every task that I throw at it compared to my kid’s lowest config MacBook M1 Air.

My previous Windows 7 device with similar specs was slower on compute tasks, but “felt” faster, and was running all of the same corporate bullshit that the new box runs.

It’s not the hardware, because Linux runs better in a VM.
"...human physical memory is only 7 years long. Thereafter there are only memories of memories, which often get twisted in the weirdest of ways."

I hate to be that guy, but... you have no idea what you're talking about.
The general process I’ve seen is to profile the application and look at what’s taking the most time. Then you sit down and think about how you could make the slowest parts faster. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer to your question. Benchmarks are good for validating your improvements, but not for finding what to improve. That’s what profiling is for.
Honestly, Windows 2000's UI wasn't as great as people make it out to be.

But what it was is consistent. Every program looked like it belonged on the system, except for some wacky video or audio players that consisted of text rendered on top of bitmaps.

From the bootloader to the web browser, early Windows felt like it was all part of a single experience. Windows XP provided the same, except it was around for so long that the ecosystem around it tried harder and harder to mimick different operating systems. Win2k was right in the sweet spot.

I'd love for Windows 11 to have a Win2k mode available. Keep the impressive kernel improvements, the virtualization based security, the WSL system, and just give me a UI that doesn't take a second to render the start menu.

Even modern Windows explorer is quite usable (without the menu redesign), it's honestly just the shell and everything that you'd call an "app".

The general public can take their candy story Fisher Price Windows if that's what they want, full of gaudy colours and fancy effects.

100$ isn't a ton of money, but I'd love to test the VST without buying it.

I'm into magick.

So a lot of what I do is observe my thoughts and intentions and direct my attention/emotion/passion/sexual energy towards the most beautiful and joyful subset of those.

When I'm particularly certain of a desired outcome I will "cast" for it, occasionally doing a bit of sorcery: drawing funny pictures and generally doing wizardly stuff.

I also do "continuous divination" AKA leaning heavily into apophenia and just generally not assuming that mysterious forces aren't at work around me. Sometimes I'll also do "acute divination" -- my favorite method is fortune cookies, not even kidding.

Visualizing and praying to various god/esse/s is important. In particular I pray to Ganesh to help me let go of negative things I'm holding onto (this was a beautiful outcome of therapy mingling with my spiritual life); I also love Inanna, and Sun meditations. I'd also be lying if I denied that Christ shows up in my most anxious moments--especially since He appeared in a dream to tell me "you don't need to be a Christian to talk to me".

Finally, there are also public rituals that I attend on a regular (sans covid) basis where we meditate on natural/spiritual forces and socialize our spirituality.

This is one of the most important bits of it all, as it 1) is a huge source of magical energy, 2) reinforces the practices I'm doing 3) inspires/goads me into deepening those practices, and 4) exposes me to more ideas and possibilities in this zone, even if I've been negligent to study the mysteries (and I have been negligent, since focusing on my career the last few years).

The Making of Lesotho's Robust Cycling Culture
This preprint is actually a companion paper to their already published paper in Nature where they do not stratify by age and sex together.

In principle this is bad because we know already very well that it affects more young men.

I think they made the situation even worse by stratifying only for myocarditis and not for pericarditis and cardiac arrhythmias that according to their paper are much more likely with COVID-19 because it did not register at all for vaccines.

This means that people are now getting a very wrong/incomplete picture of the risk benefit relationship.

Naturally cardiac issues are not the only possible problems because COVID-19 is systemic disease that can affect many organs and can cause a lot of trouble even without hospitalization.

> Although the exact origins of the names for car and cdr are lost in the mists of time

This is absolutely wrong. If you read AI memo 1 you will find a bunch of functions: cwr, cpr, csr, cir, cdr, ctr, car, cbr, csgr. These return various parts of an IBM 704 word (also called a register) or will set it when assigned to. As we know only car and cdr survived, but it's explained very clearly how they wanted to build list structures.

Pre-Vista Windows is simply insufficient from a security perspective compared to modern post-Vista Windows.

All XP-and-older versions of Windows allowed any program to access the hardware directly. Back then, a Win2000 program would need to access the "in" and "out" hardware instructions to talk with gamepads because... well... gamepads were read to directly through hardware instructions.

Don't look at me like that! USB wasn't really that common yet, and there were all sorts of weird specific hardware differences in controllers still. It was a different world. Gamepads were glorified potentiometers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potentiometer) and game-ports were just ADC converters controlled by Windows. And assembly language knowledge was much more common too!

----------

Letting modern software touch the hardware directly like that is a security nightmare. Vista+ forced everyone to write signed device drivers and hide that direct-hardware access behind a layer of APIs (the Windows Driver API).

Today, if your video games touch hardware directly, you at least know about it... and the practice is discouraged (though still widely used for DRM and other such "features").

In any case, "stripped down" Windows 10 IoT core builds and runs on the Raspberry Pi.

For reference, HoMM3 expansions were to reintroduce the wider aspects of Might & Magic world back to HoMM (as the series before essentially dealt with small skirmishes little related to the main storyline). Thing is, despite the name, Might & Magic is ... science-fiction more than normal epic fantasy. And a lot of HoMM fans were unaware of the fact, and there was a bit of toxic reaction when the high-tech aspects were shown in previews.
