I find neither of those headlines absurd nor strange, so by the rules of logic I guess the above statement is correct - although I disagree with the implication that there is something wrong with either one.

I'm always fascinated by the insights a thoughtful and serious outside observer can bring to a locale or subject.
I use Ada as my alternative to C, when I don't feel like doing C++.

I've written a few tools for myself, including a command line code discover tool for large code bases (tens of millions of lines). There's a bunch of embedded work being done with it.

Make sure you use "Ada" rather than "ADA". Some people might give you trouble about it--it's not an acronym, just a name :)
I would argue an even more tragic scenario: countries where the entire government is business people and lawyers.

I'd check your assumption that the US in aggregate tends to be uncharitable.

While it doesn't tell the whole store, in financial terms the US leads the world in per capital charitable contributions (by a significant margin).

I don't really understand, seems like there is a very easy answer. In the case of belief I would've thought that's obvious. I can be afraid of zombies without believing zombies exist.

I don't think anyone denies the existence of the concept of god. I'm an atheist, but of course the concept of god exists. People believe in it, it can and has been talked about.

Seems like you're equating the concept of god (i.e. people's beliefs), with the actual entity of God (i.e. the man in the sky that created everything).
Yep, $5,000 (a five, followed by 3 zeros). It was a late booking, and we needed the room to haul equipment (work trip). This was back in September. When we returned in October, prices were sane again.
My first experience with "well, that didn't work" was about 30 years ago. I had a 35mm point and shoot (fixed focus too) camera. I shot one roll at night trying to photograph the full moon. They didn't even cut the film. When looking at the negatives, all that you could see on a long strip of film was an occasional very small black dot.

From this, I learned two things: (1) The moon is much smaller in the sky than you think it is. (2) Take a picture of a white wall or similar thing to expose an entire frame so that additional frames can be calculated form that first (or last or both) frame and the proper cuts of the film can be made.
My bet would be on malware or compromised browser extension. You probably typed (or copy/pasted) the password ans something kept a copy along the way.
Interesting concept, and thank you for the link.
Great question. Briefly, the goal is to be a disciple of Jesus Christ, in thoughts, words, and deeds. In practice that generally means looking outwards, not being totally self-absorbed (which is my natural tendency), and treating people with kindness and compassion - choosing to see them in the best possible light.

The scripture study and related discussion helps me identify the gap between the ideal version of myself and where I am presently, but in a way that I don't get totally overwhelmed or depressed by the gap, but just see it as a long-term process of slowly developing as a person. The prayer gives me clarity and direction, both for myself but also in knowing who to help and how.

Both prayer and scripture study also really lengthen one's perspective, which in turn dulls the the edge off pretty much every challenge. For example, having an assurance that there is more to my existence than 80ish years really helped me deal with pain from a sudden death in the family. And road rage. :)
the problem is that you are pretending to care now. it was always the fact especially if you take in regards the founders like Wau holland. I don't even know what you really expect from the ccc since it's very first datenkrake it was left leaning. Maybe the Club isn't something for you.
+1 to this. My wife was homeschooled her entire K-12 education and I was homeschooled for two grades. I did not have a favorable experience homeschooling and often wondered if it was just my particular family. My wife's more extensive experience (along with several friends) confirms the point. I've never met a homeschooled kid who thought that it was sufficient to provide the same level of social and emotional intelligence that they later experienced in the workforce from their public school peers.
The Economist tracks excess deaths, which is a more accurate measure of how deadly COVID is, especially in places with iffy stats.

I cam across Aria's complaints about their experience as a developer within the Rack ecosystem, and I was very disappointed to read it. It made me reevaluate what I thought about Rack and Andrew's handling of the project.

However, somebody then gave me a link to what is apparently one of the main threads [0] in which they and Andrew Belt's main developer "got into it", and after reading that I was much less certain about who was behaving badly here (if anyone).

[0] https://community.vcvrack.com/t/do-open-source-plugins-need-...

Regarding the MiRack fork ... I am not certain, but I suspect that this author acted in specific ways that upset Andrew. I talk regularly to the developer of Cardinal (mentioned below), which is another fork of Rack, and thus far, things between them and Andrew have remained reasonably cordial.

Certainly as the developer of another open source audio project, if someone behaved the way the MiRack developer seems to have done [1], I would likely seek to exclude them from our community too.

[1] I stress the seems because it really is not entirely clear what took place.
This seems to be a clone of a terminal application that was used to connect to IBM mainframes from IBM PCs.
Since your master password is stored in another password manager, would it be accurate to say you copy/paste it into LastPass? If so, something running on your machine could be scraping your clipboard.

This of course assumes that it wasn’t really you from an IP that was just misidentified as being from Brazil.

For what it’s worth, I stopped using LastPass after they sold out to LogMeIn and would recommend others stop using it as well.
Reporting == good. We are agreed.

However the majority of us have been subjected to or have created status reports. To claim that we are unable to see how selecting reporting metrics matter and can frame a story would be at best disingenuous.
I probably don't see that because I have those devices, but yeah I can see that being annoying.
You need to be careful about moving the goalposts of the definition of bigotry.

In your view, can someone have a rational position that same-sex marriage is not the same thing as what marriage has meant for millennia, without being a bigot? Or does that position inherently make them bigoted?

Can someone oppose people being shot for their skin color, while still not being on board with Black Lives Matter as an organization? Or does that not-on-board-ness make them bigoted?

If one does not believe White Fragility when it says that all whites have inherited guilt because of slavery, does that make one bigoted?

From the other side: If you believe that religious people should not be allowed to teach their beliefs to their children, does that make you bigoted? How about if you think there should be no religious schools? How about if you think religious schools are OK, but they shouldn't receive public funding?

My point is not that religious schools should receive public funding. My point is that, if you listen to a movement - any movement - that says "you have to agree with us this far, or it's bigotry against us", you are very prone to having them move the goalposts of your definition of bigotry.

So: What is your definition of bigotry? And why should we take your definition over that of the president of Princeton?
I hope you are watching the streams not to get into any details in particular. lol
Of course. :)

Zen meditation (as I practice) is one of the deeper ways of practice, and helps one to reflect and dig deeper into one's emotions and being.

As a person who read early, and immediately started to tinker with computers and electronics, I was the different kid who bullied a lot, and it deformed me in a lot of ways. I was short tempered, introverted, scared and scarred without any self-esteem and self-worth. My brain was always noisy, and had concentration problems. This affected my friendships and relationships. Having a couple of bad girlfriends made everything worse. Much worse.

When I started to practice, I started to balance and heal myself. I understood myself better, my brain silenced, I became much more patient and kind (I wasn't rude either, but Zen made me softer). I had some career-defining moments in my life, and was able to navigate them with help of Zen.

All in all it made me rooted, balanced and helped me grow to an healthy and better adult. I probably have some crinkles and dents here and there, but at least I know who I am. It allows me to reflect better and understand what's happening.

It's a never ending way, and I'm not looking for a destination to be honest, however it's not a silent walk in the park all the time. Sometimes you encounter your inner demons. These encounters are what transforms you.
So is this a useful alternative to blockchains or just hype?

Factfulness by Hans Rosling – Book Review and Summary
When we are yanked (or freely leap, depending on your perspective) from our deeply religious world views it can be terrifying. I remember being incredibly nihilistic and depressed for at a few years.

I highly recommend diving into Philosophy. The questions about human meaning aren't exclusive to individual religions, or even to religiousness. They are universal, and very smart humans have been thinking very hard for a very long time about them.

I found that with enough hard thinking, guided by the hard questions and arguments of brilliant human minds, I have come to terms with the world and learned to love it. Philosophy and the philosophical process has shaped my mind to better understand and find tremendous joy in a "godless" (even the meaning of god changes as you explore deeply) and "meaningless" (even the meaning of meaning changes as you explore deeply) world.
Those properties are all positive, but there is one glaring negative: rf radiation. I know some ham radio station builders that will not allow any switched mode power supply on their property, including wall warts and smartphone chargers.
Not day-to-day in this case, more week to week: I practice sabbath and I've been doing this for a couple of years now. I sabbath on Sundays. I don't work, try not to think about working and avoid engaging in economic activity. As I understand it, the original Jewish conception of sabbath (I'm not Jewish) was that it was resistance against empire and oppressive economic systems. It's like declaring that I am a human being and I have intrinsic worth that cannot be measured in money or things - kind of like going on strike for a day every week. I find it very restful (duh) and it actually helps me have a better attitude towards work the rest of the week (though I'm trying not to have a utilitarian reason to sabbath as that would be counter the spirit of sabbath, I think).

I think one of my misconceptions about sabbath before was that it was a passive thing. As I experience it, it's a very active thing, a different way of being one day per week. It's active opposition to the culture of 24/7 work that's becoming expected in many sectors.
Sorry, yes. Personal trainer.
I wrote the final draft of a very ambitious, very flawed novel on an IBM Selectric ii typewriter[0]. Previous drafts were handwritten in notebooks. I even had to change the typing element frequently because the book's dialogue took place in cursive font. I was on a years long abstinence from all personal electronics, aside from my trusty Alcatel OT871AGPIB. The final portion of the book had to be finished on a cheap Japanese reproduction typewriter because my Selectric died and was, sadly, abandoned to the curb of the city I was in at the time. It was the most intense period of sustained creative effort I have ever known.

Thinking back on it, I have a mix of regrets and admiration for the kind of focus the lack of distraction produced. Once it became clear that my paper manuscript was doing me no favors in an industry that I had no inroads into, I had to use OCR to convert the manuscript, with all of its white-out and shadows of text where the ribbon ran out of ink or the correcting ribbon was used, to a PDF. This was a mess and only produced more work that was not creative in nature. Still, if I ever get my career on a firmer footing, and perhaps can afford to hire a secretary, I would consider going back to writing in analog. I wouldn't be surprised if a mid-major tech company released a product line that more or less accomplishes a facsimile of the benefits a typewriter confers, even if it is just a passing fad.

Compromised browser extension could make sense, aye.

Do Chrome extensions have access to the file system too? Is there a chance my local KeePassX file has been siphoned off?

I agree with the first part of what you said.

(Note: I am an amateur Nutritional Geneticist)

They said:

"The results demonstrate that carriers of the genetic variation have what is known as sucrase-isomaltase deficiency, meaning that they have a peculiar way of metabolizing sugar in the intestine. Simply put, they do not absorb ordinary sugar in the bloodstream the way people without the genetic variation do. Instead, sugar heads directly into their intestine."

Ha! What? SI, the gene that they studied, ONLY exists in the intestine. The inability to break down sucrose leads to microbe imbalance that concerts the sucrose to acetate. They are using the word "sugar" to cover everything from sucrose to any other oligosaccaride. They just do not understand the science enough. If you read the study it is clear.

And in NO way doe sthis mean that eating sugar is healthy for them as the title implies!!!! Look at what happens when you have this deficiency!

https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/congenital-sucras...
"After ingestion of sucrose or maltose, an affected child will typically experience stomach cramps, bloating, excess gas production, and diarrhea. These digestive problems can lead to failure to gain weight and grow at the expected rate (failure to thrive) and malnutrition. "

So this is NOT a great mutation. There is no such thing as a universal "great" mutation. These genetic changes are just one change in a probably network of changes in the Inuit. Others would include genes like FADS1 and FADS2 and CPT1A.

(NOTE: I have Saami heritage, who are the Inuit of Finland.)

Next:

"'It is probably due to Greenlanders not having had very much sugar in their diet. For the most part, they have eaten meat and fat from fish, whales, seals and reindeer. A single crowberry may have crept in here and there, but their diet has had minimal sugar content,' "

Here the researchers are correct, this is not only a Greenlander trait, but a common trait in all Inuit, and very low sucrose is common in all Inuit diets.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25452324/

And this absolutely is a fitness example. For people with the common allele, the lack of sucrose in the diet leads to lower levels of acetate and these people would die off leaving the survivors with the less common allele to flourish.

There are essentially no dataflows within Live that model what happens in Rack. That's not true in some other DAWs, and is certainly not true in various other audio software. Consequently, Live's approach to "what you see" is just not an appropriate comparison here. It's different, but that's because it's really a completely different kind of workflow, not just "a different way of doing similar things".
How to save the world, in three easy steps.

I personally find this to be my favorite because I found it to be the most impactful. Particularly to myself, I ended up reaching out because I saw the jump in heart related issues (likely related to vaccines) while tracking COVID19. I reached out as I saw this podcast and was able to validate several of the items discussed via CDC data.

That put me on a whirlwind journey of being connected to quite a few different people and on conference calls with highly regarded scientists and billionaires, which I never expected -_-

There's a lot more recent and relevant information, particularly on Joe Rogan's podcast (#1747 - Dr. Peter A. McCullough):

Anyway, I don't know generally about favorite in terms of content to others, but it did put me on quite an adventure.
> immutability ... which advantages it brings

Immutability brings a bunch of perf short-cuts which is usually impossible to build with a mutable store.

You'll find a lot of metric stores optimized for fast ingest to take advantage of the immutability as a core assumption, though they don't tend to do what immudb does with the cryptographic signatures to check for tampering.

Look at GE Historian or Apache Druid for most of what I'm talking about here.

You can build out a tiered storage system which pushes the data to a remote cold store and keep only immediate writes or recent reads locally.

You can run a filter condition once on an immutable block/tablet, then never run it again (like a count(*) where rpm > X and plane_id = ?) can be remembered as compressed bitsets of each column, rather than as final row selection masks. Then reuse half of that when you change the plane_id = ? parameter.

The fact that the data will never be updated makes it incredibly fast to query as you stream more data constantly while refreshing the exact same dashboard every 3 seconds for a monitoring screen - every 3s, it will only actually process the data that arrived in those 3 seconds, not repeat the query over the last 24h all over again.

The moment you allow even a DELETE operation, all of this becomes a complex mess of figuring out how to adjust for changes (you can invalidate the bit-vectors of the updated cols etc, but it is harder).
Interesting legal tidbits:

They even had Shigeru Miyamoto in court - he came to San Francisco.
They were saying that because the player was plugging in the
interface and making Mario jump higher, the player was making a
derivative work, and we were helping him infringe copyright. In the
end, the judge said it was not permanently changed when you
unplugged it, and for a derivative work to exist it has to be
permanent.

[...] Some of the team's tactics were quite interesting,
highlighting the hypocrisy of Nintendo, as Menzies explains. "I
helped with the lawsuit by creating non-Game Genie codes that could
be entered into an official Nintendo game's own password system and
would crash it, cause graphical corruption, weird behaviour, and so
on. Basically all of the things that Nintendo's lawsuit accused
Game Genie of doing, so we could say to the judge 'look, this isn't
anything to do with us, Nintendo's games do this on their own, it's
just how video games work'."

If you've already decided that you want to leave the church and need something tangible to point to as your reason for leaving, CES letter is well suited for that.

But if you are honestly and earnestly evaluating church history and are using CES letter as a primary source... I would make sure to give some of the more popular rebuttals (such as [0]) a read as well as they rightly call out some serious problems with the letter.

This is not a rich school district. Many of the children live in multigenerational households, some with grandparents as primary caregivers. They can’t take an early retirement as you dismissively said. My friend will likely be fine, the people these children bring the disease home to might not.

They arrived in Greenland during the last millennium. Paleo-Inuit peoples have been in the Americas for probably around 5000 years. The previous indigenous people you're talking about were earlier branches of the same "family". Moreover, this particular mutation is known to be common in Arctic peoples as a whole, not just Greenlandic Inuit.
They've also got a blogpost (from 2020) about that, which provides an interesting counterpoint to the posted article

Ever wanted to know how the prevalence of topics in HN comments has changed over time? Yesterday, I did, and I couldn't find an immediately obvious way to do it. The HN searcher by Algolia got most of the way there, but comparing across timeslices & different phrases was difficult. Luckily, they provide a CORS-friendly API, so I threw together 100 lines of HTML to make a quick Google Trends-style viewer of historical HN comment data. Enjoy!

Examples:

How often do rust/typescript/kotlin/javascript come up since 2010, on an annual basis?
