Which is absurd because the Romans had used this term first [1] (I mean, compared to the Europeans that set up colonies in the 1500s-1700s), with pretty tame connotations, for crying out loud, there's an entire German city which got its name from it, Köln.

> however, the term came to denote the highest status of a Roman city.

As a counterpoint to your sentiment: I am really glad Zotero devs are not spending any time on polishing the UX. I loathe modern user interfaces where a lot of functionality is hidden just for the looks.

Zotero does cover your use case very well and I don't actually see your criticism or UX concerns.

For easy importing of books and papers use the magic wand icon in the tool bar. This allows you to import metadata via ISBN and DOI. Use the FF plugin for importing web pages.

Tags allow you to cluster entries together.

On the right side it is possible to connect items that have a direct connection.

Double click on Pdfs to open them in a Pdf reader that can highlight and annotate. Save the file and use the Zotfile plugin to extract the annotation into notes.

Zotfile and Zutilo are recommended plugins.
Some of the largest and most hardened at&t long lines sites around the 48 states, most of which are still in existent, carried AUTOVON traffic. Some of them are literally massive concrete bunkers built on top of mountains, with roads bulldozed to the top, that if you tried to duplicate today would probably cost $75 million per site.

Significantly less useful in an era when inter city phone and data traffic goes by fiber optic cable and not 6GHz microwave on horn antennas. Some have found re-use for cellular purposes and vhf/uhf radio repeater, public safety, etc.

Some of the key long lines and AUTOVON sites out there also carried data circuits linking the SAGE network together.
True. Mostly food/regional cuisine. It is not unusual for people to congregate in groups with others who share the same cuisine, prayers, customs..as long as there isn’t any illegal discrimination, I don’t understand what the fuss is about..this is how long lasting friendships are formed ..based on common interests, likes, customs and hobbies. Before it was your fav death metal band that attracted two people, it was their prayers. Some people still spend their entire lives saying prayers and not really listening to Swedish death metal yet just because they emigrated. Storm in a teacup.
As a someone with three kids I'm very grateful to be back at the (remote) office to get bored.
Sorry, that was a bit of a word salad. I was using Buttondown and moved across to Substack, thinking it may increase list growth - but it did not make any difference.

Also, I miss the markdown editor on Buttondown…
True but you missing the point. This shared database gives the power of decentralisation- you won’t get cancelled - the so called permission less data. Nobody is control yet everybody has some control - true democracy.

The public transaction problem is solved by bullet & zero knowledge proofs in currencies like Monero & Zcash. I trust Monero more as it seems Zcash has a on demand back door to unravel specific transactions.

Web3 is a panacea but it might take a decade to arrive as the building blocks are in place.
>Where does this sentiment come from that Linux has come very far when it comes to gaming?

Look at what you could run in Wine in 2004 and what you had to do to get it working and what you can do now in Proton. It might technically not be "native Linux" but I couldn't care less as long as it works.

>I've used Linux/Unix for 20+ years but I wouldn't recommend it for gaming unless you enjoy debugging Linux software and want to do more of it.

I game a little bit on Linux and have never touched a hex editor to do it. Right now I only have one game where I have to manually download a dll, all the rest I want to play works flawlessly. I only have to enable Proton in Steam and that's it. Yes, they're mostly older games and I still certainly wouldn't recommend Linux for gaming, but there is definitely progress.
Thanks for this post.

I know the only attempt at demurrage went so well that they shut it down after not to long, but what do you think this would have an effect on assets over time? Would the demurrage keep the money supply in check long-term? Would people still do what they do now and take out loans to buy assets? I fear that Cantillion Effects would lead to the same cycles we see today. Is your stance that there should never be an interest rate above 0%? Going to have to think more about this, but my gut is thinking is you don't need demurrage except to fix the system we're currently in, in which case it does a great job. But once it's fixed holding cash would go back to 0%.

> It's only logical that your money becomes worth less over time (if you assume it is durable). Keeping something in pristine condition requires an external energy input.

If there was one thing that was going to be durable, it should be financial in nature. I'd much rather see people hoarding cash than houses. PoW coins on the other hand, totally agree with you here. So I suppose I think the demurrage would be based on the upkeep required, and typical currency upkeep is small while PoW is large.

Dear so-called "social" websites.

Your catchword is "share", but you don't want us to share. You want to keep us within your walled gardens. That's why you've been removing RSS links from webpages, hiding them deep on your website, or removed feeds entirely, replacing it with crippled or demented proprietary API. FUCK YOU.

You're not social when you hamper sharing by removing feeds. You're happy to have customers creating content for your ecosystem, but you don't want this content out - a content you do not even own. Google Takeout is just a gimmick. We want our data to flow, we want RSS or Atom feeds.

We want to share with friends, using open protocols: RSS, Atom, XMPP, whatever. Because no one wants to have your service with your applications using your API force-feeding them. Friends must be free to choose whatever software and service they want.

We are rebuilding bridges you have willfully destroyed.

Get your shit together: Put RSS/Atom back in. <<<

Not gonna happen but I fully agree with the sentiment.
I am surprised by the people demanding election reform to be honest. In my mind that is the last thing you would want to do if integrity is questioned, since the changes would need political consent of every voter.

It could open up far more vectors to manipulate elections and the premise and is it true that people still are excluded from voting? Or is this just to shift voting weights in another direction?
Rewrite directives handled by low-level routing logic of the web server are definitely different to a container image that gets spun up in a distributed network and queried for each request, don't you think?

The message I answered was to support that CO2 emited by solar, wind or nuclear are indeed minute compared with a gas plant, even including "short of a life, manufacturing, transport, installation, and disposal" emissions.

Because someone reading that long list of items could get confused and think that those things added so much emissions that they could be near fossil emisions. It seems that it was not your intention, but I felt a clarification and a citation was needed.

Just to be clear, Zotero is primarily a local program that saves all data and files to your computer. You don't need an account to use it. There's optional syncing and a web library so you can use it on multiple devices and collaborate with others, and there's a browser extension (which JabRef uses as the basis for their extension) that integrates it deeply with the browser, but in no way is it an "online reference manager". We strongly agree with all the reasons you give, which is exactly why we designed Zotero the way we did.

(Disclosure: Zotero dev)
Having been on both sides of interviews but fortunate enough to no have to do leetcode interviews I have a genuine question for those that do.

Why do them?

Are you really facing those problems frequently enough at FAANG to have know them? Is it uppity engineers? Gatekeeping? Or are you just getting so many applicants that you have to filter somehow and leetcode interviewing has some nice properties (easy to apply remotely, can be done by engineers, strong pass/fail criteria).

Genuine interest. Ignore the negative subtext, that's just me on this subject.

I say instead of maintaining that bridge we ask whoever is still using Facebook to move somewhere else. That would be easier instead of maintaining that bridge because Facebook will actively try to patch any holes in their walled garden.

That's the same as saying that the possibility of a plane crash is there regardless of the reason of the current plane crash. There could be something worth learning in the details...
This is my probably incomplete understanding until someone who knows better fills in the picture :)

Due to shorter wavelength, 5G will have worse coverage in terms of distance from the station. So in rural areas you will not see improvements unless density of stations is increased.

However you can fit a lot more in terms of nodes and bandwidth compared to 4G, so in congested areas like cities you may perceive better "coverage" as a result.

> 5G compared to 4G since the former needs more sparsely distributed nodes

...It’s the opposite, no? But yes, my understanding is that area coverage would not improve simply by upgrading/switching out existing stations. You would need a larger number of stations/energy to cover the same area with 5G vs 4G.
It is absolutely impossible to know if in a parallel world where they hadn't existed, everything wouldn't be unambiguously better for everyone
Similar experience here. Though my ex was diagnosed with bipolar and borderline personality disorder on top of the clinical depression. Regular psychologist and psychiatrist visits and a scary amount of meds to take each day.

I've got a lot of empathy for people in relationships like this. It's not easy and even though there's help and medication, it still ends up being an up hill battle.

I myself have been struggling with Dysthymia since my teenage years so you can imagine how fun that experience was with her.

I tried everything with her to change her outlook on certain things, find ways to distract her mind, finding coping mechanism etc. Nothing worked, though I think she might not have wanted to get better in a sense. Having 5+ hour long arguments every day about things that weren't logical finally broke me. My Dysthymia turned into full on depression. For months I'd tell her that I'm going to bed praying I wouldn't wake up - hoping that she'd find better ways for managing things... I just eventually tapped out and had to leave.

So yeah, I have loads of empathy for people in similar situations. Just remember that you can leave. If you've done all you've could, no one will blame you. Some people just aren't meant to be in relationships or need a lot of help before getting into one.
It feels like this site is a marketing effort yet to reveal itself.
It's a problem for civilization at large when there is flailing trust in institutions.

I used to trust most mainstream media outlets almost infallibly.

I trust none of them now.

I'm suspicious of every headline involving sensitive issues, and I believe that they are mostly manipulated to some extent.

In fact, when I watch the news, I'm now mostly curious about how they have spun the story, the nature of their bias, why they would spin it (i.e. personal view, relationships, audience, editorial, corporate sponsorship / pressure, 'election season', producers, click bait, playing for audience, emotional reasons etc..)

Erosion in trust of public institutions is a problem that can be measured in the 'division of the country' and likely even issues with vaccine uptake.

A headline in 2002 about something negative would have evoked my sympathy, but essentially I 'don't believe them anymore' and I'm not sympathetic until I've done my own due diligence to learn about a story.

Specific to this article: I have noticed this editorial problem as well. I used to read SA as a kid and was inspired by it, even if I never really understood it. Some of the editorial positions have been disturbing. It makes me doubt the integrity of the institution. I don't know if it is or not, but there's a cloud of suspicion in my mind.
Note that this cannot be written as a function only because Clojure uses strict (call-by-value) evaluation everywhere and has no way to change this (other than Macros). In theory languages could provide annotations to allow a user to specify whether parameters are call-by-value or call-by-need. Haskell and Scala both provide this.

But I don't think this is a bad example at all, I tend to think of macros as "extending the language/compiler", since they have access to the abstract syntax tree of their inputs, which is what is being done here.
That's the danger of doing something like this. Plenty of people leave things out to remind themselves to do it, but it quickly becomes part of the background noise. I've had loose wires hanging from the ceiling for nearly a year to remind myself to install lights at some point.
"'Low probability, high impact': 3 generals warn of a potential military coup in 2024"

I see it as a low probability, high impact. I hesitate to put a number on it, but it's an eventuality that we need to prepare for. In the military, we do a lot of war-gaming to ferret out what might happen. You may have heard of the Transition Integrity Project that occurred about six months before the last election. We played four scenarios. And what we did not play is a U.S. military compromised; not to the degree that the United States is compromised today as far as 39% of the Republican party refusing to accept President Biden as president, but a compromise nonetheless. So we advocate that that particular scenario needs to be addressed in a future war-game held well in advance of 2024.

... but chrome is just using freetype and harfbuzz for font rendering, exactly like Qt. It's not a differentiating factor.
If two variables are correlated that means they share a relationship. If you are stating that the relationship is coincidental then you should have a basis for that rationale. This can easily be estimated. There are 59 BSL4 labs in the world. The wet market is 14 km away from the lab. The Earth's land surface area is 148,326,000 km2.

14^2 * pi * 59 = 36,329 km2
36,329 / 148,326,000 = 0.000245

There is a 0.02% chance that a random disease will outbreak within 14 km of a BSL4 lab.
They are called "biogas" and considered renewable.
Wikipedia went down quite a few notches in my world view a few days ago, when I went to find out how old Lex Fridman was from his wikipedia page

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LexFridman

Only to find he's not notable enough for an entry. There isn't an article in a "reliable" source about him, so he doesn't exist as far as the club that now manages Wikipedia is concerned. I wasted about an hour seeing if there was something applicable I could add, but to no avail, as Google failed me.
> Wilson’s far left colleagues Richard Lewontin and Stephen Jay Gould

Stephen Jay Gould was a great man, a great scientist, a great writer, and my personal hero. He wasn't from the "far left"; he was intellectually honest and consistent. He spent an inordinate amount of time fighting the teaching of Creationism in US schools.

He also wrote The Mismeasure of Man which rubbed proponents of IQ measurement the wrong way (the Wikipedia article covers the debate quite well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mismeasure_of_Man) and which I think was and still is an important critique of biological determinism.

I don't know much about E. O. Wilson or his life or politics (I will try to learn more), but if you're prepared to dismiss Gould in a side note like this, it probably means you're on a mission and not very honest yourself.
First known outbreak does not mean/imply origin.
For what? Do you too, find, the editorial framing E.O.Wilson as racist, 'insightful'?

Because that is the topic of his last blog entry.
Yes, tip of the iceberg.

Getting people to use it is not as hard as you think, unless it’s an entirely new concept. Do more of what works and improves people’s experience, undercut fees from existing contracts. Or make a premium version for that audience segment.

And if you create a token it advertises itself, bots watch for LPs on AMMs to interact and humans notice the interaction, but another area you can compete is based on how community minded the token is, versus obvious self enrichment

Your example is valid and replies are ill-informed. There is a difference between a "date" and "time interval". Timestamps are good for storing intervals, but if you need to plan something on a _date_, you need to store the date. This means you care not about specific number of seconds having passed since now, but about what calendar (and the clock) is saying when the event has to happen.

Example: nobody cares if a concert planned on November 19, 2024 at 19:00 in Honolulu starts in 12345600 seconds or 12349200 seconds since now. But everyone cares that everone's calendars and watches are in sync by that time and show specifically that date and that time, regardless of how many times people switched DST or timezones in the years in-between.
are people really still using google in 2022?
Hmm I don't think SEO spam and fake reviews are Google's only problem. These have been useless for a long time, but I believe they're altering search results on purpose just to give you more crap to click on.

Random example: paste a stack trace in google, add, say, raspberry pi. First 5 pages of results will be beginner tutorials on how to set up something on your Pi. If you're lucky you'll get something related to your stack trace in the later results. Sometimes you don't get squat.

Human beings are built to defer to *legitamite* authority, its a
principle of how we organize ourselves. Doesn't matter if its mathematics
or goverment. But that legitamacy must be demonstrated. If a mathematician
fails to answer basic mathematical questions, then his authority on
the subject comes into question. When the authorities fail to answer
basic questions (like where did this virus come from? Why aren't we
investigating the wuhan lab? Why was Fauci funding it? Why was the man
in charge of the WHO investigation the man who was in charge of funding
it?), they are failing to demonstrate *legitamite* authority. In a
functioning democracy, that failure would be met with replacement.
