they could have not appropriately informed their kid about how bad sugar is

In the US, schools tend to be pretty good at this these days. Possibly in part because in 2010 there was the "Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act". Part of this outlined acceptable beverages, and the guidelines exclude anything with added sugar. But if parents aren't reinforcing that, or in fact go against it in what is allowed at home, that won't help too much.

Although somewhat to my frustration, schools (at least in my district) have taken what I consider unreasonable initiative in further limitations of food that parents can send to school. My daughter came home upset one day, thinking she had done something bad, when I packed a piece of chocolate in her lunch for a special occasion. It was seen by staff and she was scolded for it. Apart from what I view an overreach, if there was a problem then the school should have taken it up with me, the parent, and not done anything in a way that made my daughter feel the she was to blame.

> added anti-features like preventing export of the DB (or something like that, I don't remember exactly what it was anymore)

The application's internal SQLite database was encrypted. The user-facing export functionality is still there, as are the public APIs used to interact with the data stored online. One of the engineers involved is a friend of mine. From what I understand the change to the internal DB was an over-zealous response to GDPR concerns.
The GC needs to mess with and start and stop and throttle threads. The threads resize their stacks and that needs to talk to the GC. System calls park and restart threads. And so forth.

If you use any of it you'd need all of it.
I think your name might need a rework, then. The name of the site doesn’t match what it is doing.
I have been and still am a Zotero user. But I found it unfortunate that back in grad school many of my peers still used Mendeley. The school library even had workshops/classes in which they taught how to use the software. I found it ironic that despite paying loads of money to Elsevier for the journal subscriptions, they were advertising their software too!
> There is a lot of additional overhead in homeownership beyond the mortgage payment.

Which you pay via your rent as well, as your landlord is also paying those overheads.

When you rent you're paying everything you pay when you own... plus profit for someone else.
That is more or less how I view my mortgage. I bought in 2007 at 6.5%, refinanced in 2011 to 4.25%, then again a few years later to 3.625%, and plan to refinance again soon if I can lock in a 2.75%, no-points sometime soon. There are no points, no closing costs refis available. The biggest hassle in refinancing is making copies/uploading 2 years of tax returns and whatever other paperwork the underwriters want.
Alcoholism is defined by it's consequences, not by how much you drink. It is the the state of drinking despite dramatic negative life consequences.
For housing to be solved, we need to reorganize society.

It's not a supply problem, it's a demand problem. Everybody want to live in the same dense hotspots, creating a perpetual upward pressure in local prices.

Not even the most powerful instrument, interest rates, solve this problem. You only need as many buyers as there is supply. It doesn't matter if 99% can't afford it, if 1% is enough to buy up the limited supply of houses, no matter the interest rate.

Not even a massive economic crash brings relief. Because the underlying demand is still there, and so is the limited supply. The temporary discount is usually not used (scared buyers) and most home owners just sit it out until prices inevitably come back. There isn't going to be a "houses now 50% off" moment, ever.

You can win a battle against NIMBY but it won't win the war. The demand keeps coming and supply cannot sustainably keep up.

Hence my simple take. You're trying to squeeze an infinite amount of people and buildings into a tiny space that is not infinite. Instead of doubling down on this idiotic idea, reorganize society.

There isn't going to be a "tweak" that fixes it. It cannot be fixed with this line of thinking. It requires new thinking.
There's been a influx of "memes" that just say things like "when you buy new sunglasses from x.com" and it's just a picture of Leonardo DiCaprio making a face. My own friends repost these things on social media because they are "funny". Not only do people not see problem, they literally see ads as worthy of being reshared.
Many landlords do not have a mortgage. Or if they do, the cost basis is much lower than if you bought the same place today. Also, there are major costs to owning home beyond the mortgage. To use myself as an example, only ~60% of my ownership costs are the actual mortgage.

Whether or not the fully burdened mortgage is less than the rent depends on the region but it is not uncommon for the costs of owning to be higher than the costs of renting, and this still makes sense for the landlord because of differences in cost basis.
> I'm curious if people feel the same way about other books?

Yes, most business book fit this pattern. There are services like https://www.summary.com/ that provide similar summaries for business books.
That's a good way to investigate; I would've pointed to a server I control and check the logs.
and, by the way, I see that car can even cost less... so (o.m.g.) if you get the cheap version you would probably have it at no cost!!
You say it like any of that is a bad thing.

Generally speaking, I think configuration changes should be reviewed.
The only reason they use Twitter is because that is a direct way to the public, rather than through those pesky mainstream media who might decide not to air certain statements or write about them in their opinion columns right along the reporting.

It's simply an attempt at an end-run around the free press, that's why it is so popular with the extremists and that's why the extremists do their damnest to create their own 'safe space' for their horrifying little screeds.
It's a fun calculation, but if the magnet is at 10GV it would need to use a minuscule current to avoid blowing up or melting down (P=I·U, so 1µA·10GV = 10kW), which in turn makes for an equally minuscule magnetic field (multiplied by unspecified number of windings).

A powerful (superconducting) magnet would use lots of amps, but almost no volts, otherwise it would generate lots of heat.
It is an unreasonable goal if (1) it's wildly outside the expected use cases and (2) it complicates things. Both of which would apply.

If you deal with a small local bank, you may be able to get a portfolio mortgage that they hold, with some unique benefits. I recently did this, they matched the rate my existing lender (big international bank) gave me, plus they offer a float down on the rate once per 12 months for a fixed fee of $975. No refinance necessary.
CR hasn’t completed an insightful review in ages. It isn’t even worth subscribing prior to a major purchase.

I find independent YouTubers significantly better.

To a point! There are a number of obvious non-critical flooded reviews for lots of products.

I suppose in closing CR is garbage and you have to do relevant research commiserate with how much you want to spend/care.

If only we had a review organization we could trust!
I very much recommend ownership over rent. However, purchase is sometimes not practical, out of reach, or just not desired. I've myself been in steep markets (California) where I rented for years while I saved up a down payment.
Twitter was there before she decided to join. She could have just stuck to press releases.
what is an "ice car" ?
You may want to look into things like: https://projectsandcastle.org/status. Like the other commenter said, iOS is locked down and I don't think Sandcastle supports iPad (it looks dead now). If you want a Linux tablet, look at the JingPad, or just any old Android tablet.

There is a chance you could go through _lots_ of work to get some _Android_ device to work on raw Linux with the edk2-sdm845 UEFI firmware (https://github.com/edk2-porting/edk2-sdm845) that chainloads from the Android bootloader (ABL).
If you want a more modern microcontroller that can actually be used to make things, take a look at the 8 bit STM8 series. They are widely used (you may have a few already, toasters, rice cooker, car etc). They definitely have that 6502 flavor, although even closer to being MC6800 improved, (eg 16 bit index registers), plus a good set of timers, ADCs, UARTs, SPI, I2C etc.

Official "Discovery boards" from ST include a programmer and debug connection for under $10, and cheap dev boards are plentiful. Open source C compiler SDCC, and free tools from ST.

There is also a very good Forth [0]. Even if Forth is not your thing the site has a lot of good information on STM8.

Yeah that is a great way to go if you're comfortable taking on the risk. There is a big reward if it pays off.

I'm a bit more risk adverse but each person has a level of risk that works for them.

Haven't consumers learned the game as well? It seems pretty obvious that if LG sells a bad microwave then I probably shouldn't trust that their other microwaves would be any good either. And why would I buy a microwave with no review over a microwave with a positive review? There's got to be at least one good microwave on their site.
> But my point was anything less than this is a complete waste of time and useless as a product because until you are completely hands and attention off, you have to be completely hands and attention on/ready...no matter how good or near actual FSD it gets.

Agreed. If I got a Telsa tomorrow I wouldn't do so with "FSD".

> Because 99.9, or 99.9999, or 99.999999% effective is effectively 0 percent effective given the catastrophic outcome of any error if you aren't devoting full attention to monitoring the car.

I'm not sure what effectiveness you're measuring. There will always be fatal accidents with heavy vehicles moving at high speeds. It's more of a regulatory issue where the accident rate of auto-pilot systems is sufficiently lower than human drivers (because I believe it is already lower in many situations, just not sufficiently lower or ubiquitously lower) and we decide its good enough to no longer require monitoring by the driver.

Edit: I guess its even more complicated than that. Using hypothetical numbers, if the accident-free rate of a human is 99%, and auto pilot is better at 99.9%, but combined (auto-pilot with human monitoring and rare intervention) is 99.999%, can we justify allowing no monitoring in that situation? Can we expect people to follow the law or will it turn in to more of a speed-limit type grey area.
Or proof of space.
Depends on the nonfiction but lately I’ve been gearing towards audio format for these kinds of books rather than reading a physical copy. Since a lot of the material follows a repetitive format with lots of examples, getting the main idea across doesn’t require hard focus studying mode. Of course it depends heavily on the book. I wouldn’t listen to Kant’s Critique on an audiobook personally.
Don’t even think of criticising the actions of Turkish Banks
I think you're being ignorant to the realities of modern communication.

Censorship of libraries and press in the pre-internet era is completely different than preventing new copies of stormfront being shoved down everyone's proverbial throat on a daily basis.
>That seems a bit extreme

Not to me, I would have done the same.

And I tend to look at the binary size of simple programs to get a first taste of the style of tech I am looking at.

Bloated binaries and slow compilation time are red flags in my book, I use them as simple heuristics to avoid losing too much time.

I know it is not perfect, but it is fast and simple, like all good heuristics.
On a side note, I went to use Google places API yesterday and the offering is trash. They get reviews for free (including my own) then expect me to pay through the nose to access that data and guess what, if you want to cache any of the results for performance and reliability reasons you’re violating their terms of service because that would impact their bottom line.

Disgusting.
It's surprising how often this issue (ceiling for 32-bit ints) comes up way.

If you're still using integers (for ids, timestamps, etc) then just go with 64-bits. It avoids any potential problem with data size in the future, and if the size stays small then it won't matter anyway. Storage is cheap and CPU cache lines are 64-bit now too.
Maybe not failing to surface, but definitely obscuring... Stack Overflow?

The fact that Google is showing these blatant scam sites that mirror questions is absolutely mind boggling to me. You'd think Google would just manually derank them for being absolute garbage. At best they're horribly mangled versions of the real site, at worst they're portals for malware infested ads.
There are wiki summaries of most self-help books that have basically the same amount of information. The only issue is a moral one - you're not compensating the author for their advice.
Private clinics in Canada are not allowed to provide services provided by the government system.

I agree with your point in principle but there are numerous examples where this kind of approach reaches major roadblocks. If you have limited energy generating capacity and that energy is depended upon for life essentials (e.g. heat, light) then there comes a point that ramping up energy price due to people being able to make a profit off the back of it means cutting off other people's access to life essentials because they are priced out.

We see this elsewhere as well - For example, production of biofuel occupies productive farmland. If farmers can make more producing biofuel crops than food staples, they'll chase the money. This leads to a rise in food prices and pits the price and food against the price of fuel.
I’m pasting the last lines of that exact same paragraph for the people who will not read the article before commenting, as so many have admitted before in other similar discussions about attention:

> If the people warning about the effects on our attention turn out to be wrong, and we still do what they suggest, what will be the cost? We will spend less time being harassed by our bosses, and we’ll be tracked and manipulated less by technology – along with lots of other improvements in our lives that are desirable in any case. But if they turn out to be right, and we don’t do what they say, what’s the cost? We will have – as the former Google engineer Tristan Harris told me – downgraded humanity, stripping us of our attention at the very time when we face big collective crises that require it more than ever.
I know it's easy to troll on JS but Electron is a very succesful project that lead to softwares used by hundred of millions of people, can't say the same about Zig or its future.
The amount down changes if I'm playing with my money or they bank's. There's a cutoff where you can default on the home, wreck your credit, but if you have enough in the bank to buy a replacement, come out ahead.

> With rates so low, it seems better to invest the down payment in the stock market and putting the minimum in the house.

I'd agree that it'd be better to put the minimum possible down, but remember that I'm limited by my salary, not my down payment, so I'm expecting 40% down so I can afford something nicer. I also think that stocks have done will because there's no alternative, and people buy the most expensive home they can afford the mortgage for, so if interest rates go up, both stocks and real estate will go down (or up less quickly).
Mendeley joined the Elsevier "Family." Elsevier is one of the big three making massive amounts of money by selling content they receive for free, paid for by the tax payer or non-profits.

I strongly believe, that this has greatly contributed to the "Joe Roganization" of the pandemic, hiding true science and research, often created under the auspices of governmental research trusts, behind a paywall. Anyone not in academia (where Elsevier charges hundreds of thousands to institutions to give their researchers access to their own papers) is more or less SOL and gets their data from Joe Rogan.

In that vain, Elsevier has a tight control on the app now. Zotero has the ability to find the open access version of a paper, Elsevier will always link to the paywalled version on its own servers. Zotero has (and Mendeley had) the ability to export libraries, and with that data, Elsevier removed that when they took over Mendeley development. And, worst of all, Zotero can run standalone, Mendeley now requires an Elsevier ID login. The company actively analyzes your reading data and advertises other Elsevier properties based on your interests and reading habits.

This is academia. It should be open and accessible. Elsevier is doing everything they can to change that. And Mendeley is one weapon in their arsenal.
I forget why I didn't like Zotero - I am using iLibrarian [0]. It is positioned as a SaaS, but the source is available and you can host it yourself. But I can't speak to how it compares to other software as I am not continually using it. It seems I just like collecting scientific papers rather than actually reading them.... Maybe if I live to 150 will I manage to read them all.

And I wholeheartedly second the fact Mendeley is Evil. I got sick of the bugs.

Yes absolutely, I find even the best non fiction books tend to be about 10% core ideas and insights and 90% allegory and metaphor reinforcing those ideas. Bad non fiction is more of a 1/99 split aha.
>The real question to me is what will Canada do. The terrorist in question is "Canadian" but iirc never set foot in Canada and is only asking for asylum because the UK stripped him from his citizenship. Now that is much more interesting because this creates a clash between that most Canadian would associate with citizenship (having lived a least a bit in Canada) and the law.

> Back in high school, I used to drink 100 cans of cola a week

In my 20s, I was downing just over a Cube (36 cans) every couple days and that was very difficult. I didn't keep it up for more than a couple weeks.
It's good to see this is still around, I was using it in the early 2010s while working in a county health department.
Right, there's an arms race nature to it and you can't put the genie back in the bottle. But banning and sanctions still seem like the only real option.

Effort and diligence can work, even if it's at odds with our nature.
Wikipedia is not a completely unbiased source despite it having editors and an anti-spammer system.
My question is if in the future, we would be able to fully rely on translations to predicted bases for sequencing or if there would always be a need to compare with a different sequencing methodology in the case of de novo genetic information that previously hasn't been seen before (no reference genomes being available in that case).

Is there publicly available information on how accurate Guppy is, as well as how the amount of training data scales with improvements in accuracy?

It didn't seem like these things were mentioned explicitly in the Community Update, other than that it’s expected to continue improving, but a clearer roadmap would definitely be much more helpful.
Yes, the idea is if you want to use X (e.g. the GC), it comes with the binary. Otherwise exclude it.

I'm proposing splitting the functional blocks into distinct pieces and including only what is actually needed in the final binary.

For the case of the GC, if your go program somehow avoids all allocations (wtf??? Empty main perhaps - a seemingly stupid case), perhaps it could be excluded.
The bit about people uninstalling when they see a 2MB no-op demo program is so dumb. That is a fixed cost, its just because Go packages it's runtime in the EXE so you can distribute it and expect it to actually work rather than depending on a runtime being available on the system. Sure there are niche cases where that isn't appropriate, and you don't use Go for those. But that initial 2MB doesn't tell you anything about how program size grows for actual projects.
For the last 6 months or so, I started maintaining bookmarks because of frustration with the search results. Occasionally, a useful search result is found on 2 or 3rd page.

I also installed https://iorate.github.io/ublacklist/ recently to block some annoying sites from results such as geeksforgeek polluting C++ related searches. I am uncertain if this is inevitable because I am increasing interested in higher-quality content, while most content on popular (SEO optimized?) sites is definitely not the best.

I am still happy with Google Scholar results, though I have no benchmark to compare against. ReserachGate?
There are a lot of popular things that are horrible.
You are basically arguing for some line that needs to be drawn for when services are allowed to ban someone, and then to lift that line to a new level because someone is an elected politician. Twitter - rightly - holds everybody in principle to the same standards. Want to play in the sandbox? Play nice.
Different people learn differently, maybe? The great truths in life boil down to a few sentences (ex: "just do it"). If someone writes a book about that truth, are they wasting your time? Maybe. But there are other people who need to hear the story to learn from that grain of truth.

I've definitely read books that were way too long and full of filler content. But I've also scrolled through tweet-sized brilliant insights that I forgot the next minute.

In my opinion, Atomic Habits was not a filler book (I also listened to it on audiobook), but as always, YMMV.
I agree. I guess that good feeling comes from a lack of good recourse typically happening in worker disputes so when the little guys "gets a point" then it feels good.

Oh - is full of soldiers. Maybe I'm just tired, but for some reason the lack of 'is' made it seem more distant and I didn't grok that the speaker was in the house with the soldiers (and no trousers on). Or I just tied up looking for a 'joke'.

I frequently dream of building a search engine that for this very reason penalizes any type of advertisement. This problem goes way beyond product searches. Every time I look up a how-to for pretty much anything, programming, video games, fixing house stuff, all search results that aren't user provided like Stackoverflow or Reddit, it's always stuffed with useless info that anyone having the problem already knows about ant that's clearly just there for SEO or to create more space for ads. Non-verbatim example from yesterday: search: "Outer Wilds Echoes of the Eye underground lake stuck bell" result: "Echoes of the Eye is the first DLC for Outer Wilds...blah...find artifact to enter the dream world...blah". The top, ideal answer should be a single sentence and maybe a screenshot.

Of course disincentivizing ads would never fly at google and an ad-free search engine would have a hard time being economically viable.
