When I was in 7th grade in 1959 our punishment for misbehaviour was having to return to school on a Saturday afternoon and write out Kipling's "If" two or three hundred times in longhand.
“Solutions” like these are fun technological toys treating the symptoms of the damage we’ve done to the ecosystem. Far better, and more difficult because it’s less fun, is changing culture so we do less damage. There are many other living things that will gladly eat mosquitoes, they just need homes.
Also, can we get a laser that's collimated badly enough that the beam is ~harmless at distances where an aircraft can be, while still collimated well enough to fry the insect? (In the spirit of "the best radiation shield is r squared".)

"The Universe is a dark and foreboding place, suspended between alien deities. Cthulhu, Gnon, Moloch, call them what you will.

Somewhere in this darkness is another god. He has also had many names. In the Kushiel books, his name was Elua. He is the god of flowers and free love and all soft and fragile things. Of art and science and philosophy and love. Of niceness, community, and civilization. He is a god of humans.

The other gods sit on their dark thrones and think “Ha ha, a god who doesn’t even control any hell-monsters or command his worshippers to become killing machines. What a weakling! This is going to be so easy!”

But somehow Elua is still here. No one knows exactly how. And the gods who oppose Him tend to find Themselves meeting with a surprising number of unfortunate accidents.

There are many gods, but this one is ours."

It's actually better because you actually get obscurity with ipv6.
Windows handles not holding onto the inode is a major, MAJOR pain in the ass.

That's a fascinating idea! Do you have an idea about the intensity and how "loud" the system would need to be to generate the compression/rarefaction necessary for that effect (or could the Hz be lower than audible threshold)? Also, I'm uncertain what behavior the array would yield (other than maybe expanding the area of effect)? Apologies if my questions are too deep in the well of ignorance to address.

Computing “In the Noise” Room at the Bottom
(I've clearly spent too much time with Feynman and quantum but...)

Quantum computing is statistical in nature. Experiments need to be performed multiple times to get reliable results.

Which got me to thinking... Quantum effects occur everywhere at room temperature. One example is the thermal noise in a resistor.

It ought to be possible to impose forces, such a magnetic fields, on the resistor to "shape" the thermal noise in various ways. Using this shaping effects it ought to be possible to impose some logic "on the noise". From there, it seems reasonable that statistical measurements could yield "computed results".

The useful point is that it ends up using quantum effects at room temperature, albeit somewhat slower than in a supercooled quantum computer. It seems reasonable that there must be a "speed vs temperature" curve for this "in the noise" computing.

One interesting experiment would be to create a Toffoli gate in a resistor using N vs S magnetic fields as the control elements. Since this would be symmetric it would also be reversible.

The end result is a "room temperature" quantum computer.
We've all got pneumonia in our lungs, which gain ascendancy when the body becomes weakened. It's been historically dubbed the "Old Man's Friend" because it would peacefully carry off someone who was suffering under some other terminal illness.
When was the last time you tried to memorize (or even type out) a ZFS block pointer address though? The ergonomics don't matter for ZFS, and so what's left to consider is address space exhaustion.

For IPv6, people memorize/type IP address all the time. So the IPv6 designers needed to balance the address space size with ergonomics - and they did this poorly, imo.

It's more subtle than just showing a traditional ad. When you search on a business (i.e. restaurant, hotel etc) in a given area, businesses are often paying to show up prominently in the results and/or when you're zoomed out.

Only when you're dependent on NAT for security. NAT isn't intended to be a security tool, and is pretty bad at mitigating against attacks that aren't just "log into this device directly." As others have said, a robust firewall and some good access controls and you'll be fine.

The White Man's Burden is definitely a dangerous poem, it's bad to uncritically spread its message of simple cultural superiority.

But lets not pretend that it is some off-the-rails racist screed. We still do try to export our cultural values to developing nations (e.g. women's education to Afghanistan, or elimination of FGM in Africa) and are sometimes resented for it. We should be pushed to champion those kinds of causes, even if they are thankless.

Now those cultural values certainly aren't spread in a vacuum; they are usually accompanied by other less-benevolent forms of imperialism. Exploitation isn't what Kipling is calling for; he is certainly racist, but he is trying to be benevolent.
Perhaps you are right. But reading the link which OP provided, I was expecting to hear how terrible a man Kipling must have been to support racist imperialism regardless of the beauty he also produced. If I jumped the gun, I apologize.
Sometimes Science Is Wrong
>How the fuck does healthcare even work at all?

It doesn't, unless you are wealthy, otherwise you try and 'walk off' any issues until they become obviously life threatening, then you go to the hospital and if you have insurance, you hope the insurance will approve the operation you need, and if you don't have insurance you hope the cost wont bankrupt you.
He pushed facebook to optimize for engagement, and used the tools facebook developed like every other propagandist.

Honestly, that's fine. The Obama campaign was lauded for similar social advertising, and had a direct relationship with facebook. That's how political campaigning works.

The converse is billionaires advocating for information control, and pushing to see that only those they endorse have a platform. So fat as I'm aware, Thiel hasn't done that. My position on him would change significantly if he had.

The numbers from the Guardian article are drastically different from the ones by Gallup, and even Gallup has women in the "lead" for most years.

No different than NAT and forwarding a port which people have been doing for decades.

For indoor pests we have had good results with diffusing lavender oil at night and peppermint oil by day. Mosquitoes in particular hate those smells and it makes it difficult for them to smell CO2 emitted from your skin pores which is their main attractant.

We also eliminated a source of standing water by our home and that pretty much ended the issue.
Also interesting: employee email addresses are @mmm.com rather than @3m.com.
Well, except for the part that development stops in previous versions and they do not get any real updates while they "hog" the "Gtk" name so any forks that may want to continue development in a backwards compatible way as if the incompatible change never happened cant really be called "Gtk" without being misleading.
Reframe this critique:

This should be the point of civilization and society. We should be working to free everyone to be able to go surfing when able.

I dislike that some people get to be "privileged" enough to be able to do so as much as the next guy, but I also dislike when people act like it's wrong to aspire to this.

The problem isn't that this is bad advice; the problem is that our civilization currently prevents this for most people, and instead aims to convince the 99% that they are the essential workers who can't go surfing.

I never used to be a "reader" but have built the habit through reading at least a section of a book everyday. I have had days where I rattled off 120 pages and days that I read 3 pages. With any habit it is about starting and building it.
As another fun example, the doctor (and only the doctor) overwintering in Antartica needs to have had their appendix out.

Medical evacuations are tricky, especially in the winter, and the logic is that the (single) doctor could remove someone else's appendix, but it would much harder for them to remove their own. Leonid Rogozov did remove his own in the 1960s, but I think most stations would prefer to avoid a repeat of that.

It did make for a fascinating BMJ Christmas Article though, written by his son: https://web.archive.org/web/20100925041337/http://www.bmj.co...
Not every call - only those that take TCHAR arguments, or structs with TCHAR fields.

Why do you think it's immaterial, though? It was back when A-funcs were considered legacy, and W-funcs were the way to go. But now the official stance is that A-funcs are for use with UTF-8. Being explicit about whether you're handling UTF-8 or UTF-16 strikes me like a good idea.
This isn't truly no signup right? I only saw the handshake now, but isn't my handshakeName+signature my new username and password for posting? Instead of having a centralized auth provider, the blockchain is used to authenticate the signature?

Just looking at Handshake - if I buy HNS and purchase a domain, sure I can use the handshakeName and signature to authenticate to supported websites. But if I want to host a website with the domain, the possible options are using hns.to domain or have my DNS point to a different DNS server. Both are not viable options for my end users to reach my website. Is the expectation that overtime Handshake gains popularity and all existing services would have a mechanism to integrate into this?

That's latency impact (vs v4) not just latency. -10 would mean IPv6 connections typically had better latency than IPv4 connections. This was more an concern during the early days of IPv6 deployment.
Just read past this again, and you probably won't see my reply, but our brief exchange had triggered another fleeting thought perhaps worth sharing.

There is no reason to believe...

I'm not sure what context you were speaking in, but I have a fairly conservative frame I work with, and that is we know almost nothing. The scientific method does bring us understanding and that's basically a monkey see, monkey do kind of thing where we understand doing a is going to yield b.

Understanding is predictive to a point, and at that point, error exceeds understanding for whatever reason, and we simply don't understand enough to proceed, which drives new science and ultimately, new and improved understanding.

None of that actually invalidates prior understanding. Where understanding is predictive, and it has been validated against the authority; namely, mother nature, it's good understanding! And that all means knowing the limits of understanding is as important as the understanding itself is. Applying our understanding outside it's scope can be worse than ignorance.

Perhaps this is all well trodden ground for you, and I apologize in advance, but it did also highlight "reason to believe", and I just generally don't. For me, there just isn't a lot of room for "believe" in all this. Knowing things is a tall order. Confidence in understanding may just be a technical, formal expression of believing too.

Where we lack understanding, it's a guessing game. We may make pretty good guesses, depending on what understanding we do have and our own nature, intuition and such, and that's fine, even ideal depending on what the scenario is.

Maybe I would go down this road saying something more like, "I suspect" or "these ideas are suggestive", hinting at whatever basis I might have to give an idea greater weight or worth, but indeed! There is no reason to believe anything is true about the universe on basic principle, knowing our current limits and how we arrive at pretty much anything useful.

Later, below you used "unlikely" which suggests to me we get after thoughts like this in a similar way, and it's OK if not, but somehow I felt compelled to just get these reasoning basics out there, out of my head.

Happy New Year, and thanks in advance for entertaining me.

> acknowledge that generational cycles exist at all

I agree with your sentiment. However, what typically happens is, when we do acknowledge the generational cycles, we have a reactionary attitude towards the issues of the past. The downtrodden feel "betrayed" while the privileged feel "guilt". At this point, you need to be able to resolve the issue in a manner in which both are not left feeling discriminated again.

However, the situation is different in India. Reservation system is not the same as Affirmative Action in US. Rather, Reservation System is now practicing reverse discrimination[1] with official stamp from Government of India.

[1]: https://thelogicalindian.com/story-feed/awareness/affirmativ...

So what ended up happening is that instead of giving a leg up to the downtrodden, we reversed discrimination and now discriminate on upper castes through reservation quotas while also giving a leg up to the downtrodden.

Most upper castes don't complain and instead just migrate abroad for greener pastures and typically occupy high positions in Western companies. Which is also one of the reasons why Western firms have more Upper Castes as opposed to Lower Castes. Lower Castes prefer Government jobs. Government jobs have a lot of social value in India as it comes with promise of security and prestige. Especially if you get into Administrative Services.

Can you give a source for that 93% efficiency of measles vaccine? Accuracy for 2 digits is very suspicious.

Your reflection about your situation is awesome. Your questions will help you. However, as already mentioned, your problems and dilemmas are not unique. I see in you a young adult, learning to handle life and ambitions; and I think your questions and reflection about the topic will get you far.

So, actual advice:

First one: have patience. Don’t expect any big results, side projects etc. If you produce something worthwile, great, but don’t plan for it and expect it.

Second: Looking back on accomplishments tends to look impressive compared to looking at future plans. You cant do three big projects at the same time, and you might compare to other ppl who did several nice projects. But, they did’t do them at the same time - they probably did them over several years and focused on one project at a time. Maybe, back to the first point: don’t be ambitious here. Just do something fun.

Third: do something fun. When doing your masters degree, you have a lot of stuff you must do. For the projects in your spare time, do something _fun_, whereever that may lead you. I played a lot of World of Warcraft, at a time where I could be programming. But it was fun. Looking back, it really taught me invaluable lessons about communication, teamwork, high performance teams, motivation and leadership. These skills I employ in my current job (in some form). But from the outside, it might just seem like a waste of time. (Well, a lot of it was, but I spent a lot of
time managing a top raid guild).

Fourth: perfectionism is great in a way, because you tend to produce results of really high quality. However, in my grown life, I have come to realize, that it is mostly a burden. Perfectionism is an enemy of balancing the effort-reward balance. E.g. doing a task quickly and “poorly” is often _far_ better than not doing it, because you don’t have time to do it perfectly. When you really think about it, then the best use of your time is not to do everything perfect, but to produce as much value as possible, whatever quality is required in the specific situation - and perfectionism is an enemy of this. It really can be a handicap.

So, just to finish up: your problems are not unique. I love that you are able to reflect on them - keep doing that. And, lower your ambitions and just do something fun in your spare time - the results, whatever they might be - will follow.
