Bacteria is a lot more difficult to kill because of the size. This is great for viruses though. I've always wondered about the effectiveness of UVC, humidity, and ozone for the control of COVID.
Might it be SSRI-induced indifference[0]? I had a similar experience when I was on SSRI antidepressants.

The first understanding in this thought process is that everything is physically connected. Your bodily cells are touching the molecules in the air which are touching the molecules that make up your iPhone so even when you're not touching the phone with your hand, you're connected to it. Assuming this is true, I think by default we have to acknowledge the micro or macro power of external stimuli on our body. From a sweet odor that triggers childhood nostalgia bringing us a temporary sense of calm to an atomic bomb that can decimate a human body from miles away. There is a lot of activity in the air let's say. That brings me to the topic of sound therapy. Sound is information passing through the air that we receive with our ears and decode with our brain. Often, we have an emotional response to the processed code. I mean just think of all the different ways a musical beat can make you feel; old school hip hop vs modern trap music vs Beethoven. So what if you could send messages to your brain with a specific purpose, a mission. Of course you could use this diabolically (like binge listening to heartbreak songs) but you could also use sound as a targeted healing effort. You could stimulate flow in areas of your body that have been stagnant, holding onto tension & old emotions. How much peace could you find in your life if you could iron out emotional tension? The tension you have with women or men because of the heartbreak or betrayal you may have experienced. The tension you have with your parents because of the countless childhood traumas they may have participated in. The tension you have with your own self image and how you show up in this world. What if you could let that baggage go and live? What if there is something physical you can do that can assist you in addressing the seemingly non-physical part of life? I happen to think that is possible through sound therapy. Tools like singing bowls, tuning forks, and steel tongue drums that are emitting certain frequencies and stirring certain emotions that can help you address the clogs in your system.

"Harm aversion" is an interesting lens through which to view people's motivation and behavior. (They mention aversion to social harms specifically, but some of the examples are physical harms.) I've heard of loss aversion and of course risk aversion, but that's a new one for me.
My understanding was that "tar" originated as an abbreviation of "tape archive", so you'd be getting into recursive territory, and they'd never stand for that in the GNU world, would they?

Hey! Good post & observation. I completely agree with your analysis. However, I don't think the transition from Web2 to Web3 can happen overnight. The problems described are being solved. It takes time to do this in a truly decentralized manner.

Take a look at this decentralized infura:

@zeebeecee In word.js, why do you have a list of `impossibleWords`?
Many of them are valid English words, like FEARS.

Listen Kragen, I do feel bad I misattributed many things to you because after a long back and forth thread I _thought_ I was still talking to denton-scratch but it was actually Kragen. I appreciate your thoughts and insight, even this one. And you have my sincere apology for the mis-attribution to you based on my mistaken thought you were denton-scratch.

Do not expect me to censor myself going forward, however. I understand that could result in being banned. I'm OK with that, as I'm not really interested in communicating in a place with censorship.
You say “experiencing the awkwardness of the results”. For the other side, this awkwardness might be pure discrimination.

It is difficult to be always right and never offend anyone. And yet, we should try.

Addressing someone by marital status is one of those easy things to simply abandon without loosing anything from conversation.
I'm all aboard the Brother laser train as well. It truly is just as "it just works" as everyone says it is.

It’s easy enough that if this is a problem you can 1) google it or 2) use a tool that was made in 5 minutes by some dev.

Wallets don’t delete your transaction history. The average user knows their wallet address and any wallet I’ve ever used 1) doesn’t use OpenSea as a source of anything and 2) keeps a track of transactions you’ve performed using that wallet. This makes it easy to find the address of your NFT.

This is analogous to knowing your credit card number and knowing how to look up the merchant of a transaction you made.
In my mind the ideal role is on a team that clearly owns codebase, has users giving them feedback, and works with product and management to set a roadmap and then deliver on it. Being able to work with new and interesting technologies would be a bonus, but even just working on medium-sized features with a couple other engineers would be great.
Your comment broke the site guidelines egregiously. Attacking another user like this will get you banned here, regardless of how right you are or feel you are. Perhaps you don't feel you owe people you disagree with better, but you owe this community much better if you're participating in it.

You've also been posting in the flamewar style in other comments too. Please stop doing that. It's not what this site is for, and it poisons what it is for. We want thoughtful, curious conversation here—not people smiting enemies and bashing each other.

Graph of IRC top networks 2021 – 2020
I never used IRC growing up, to my knowledge, though I'm sure I used it by proxy in software that used it under the hood.

Instead, I grew up with AOL Instant Messenger, and then MSN Messenger which later became Windows Live Messenger, then Skype, Xfire, Pidgin and Trillian as clients, then back to Skype again, and now Discord, which is where I still reside most of the time today.

When I thought about existing chat protocols I wanted to use in game engines and websites that would allow one to connect through existing clients without having to join the game or navigate to the website in question directly, I thought about IRC.

But it seems like people use Matrix now, and it just hasn't caught on to my circle of friends. If I'm not mistaken, it almost seems like FOSS Discord.

I was recently introduced to it by a member of a community of very friendly Quake Mappers. I wonder if there is primarily first a cultural barrier to these technologies and not a technical one. As usually I find more technical people on IRC than on Discord.
Those are apps, I mean a glue / universal interface layer that's 100% owned by the user
All deep UV wavelengths are energetic enough to break chemical bonds and the cross sections have quite non-trivial wavelength dependences. The authors of the article claim that 222 nm has a much shorter absorption length in tissue than 254 nm. This would drastically reduce the intensity that can reach the living cells under the outer layers of the skin.
If the medical community wants to gain my trust in their cancer judgements they can start by analyzing the cancer risks of the tens of thousands of chemicals that are used every day in our lives and to which we are exposed. PFAS, PFOS, insecticides, Purell (which is alcohol, does it cause cancer?), cleaning agents, food additives, tar coal oils, benzene in cigarette lighter butane and gasoline, plasticizers, skin lotions, fragrances, titanium dioxide (used in food, do you like eating metal catalysts?), and all the rest, separately and in combinations. All ignored for decades. If they can sequence DNA they can test all these substances for harm. Don't tell me it's too difficult, get cracking and you'll finish sooner. And now they want to convince me one particular chemical, widely used for millennia is the cause of a 50% increase in cancer risk? What's that 50% applied to? A 0.01% base risk? Where does all the base risk come from and is it greater than the risk from alcohol? Is it the combination of other chemicals and alcohol that raises cancer risk? Nuclear fallout from atomic bomb tests is still in everything across the world. Silica dust from Africa is in our air. Air pollution from ICE engines is everywhere, layered for decades in the soil along with the lead that used to be in gasoline. What's the risk from that? Why don't we have warning labels on gasoline pumps, and cars, and cities, and plastics? Should everyone be suing the USA, Russia, and China for above ground nuclear tests and the car makers and oil producers for polluting the air? There are unavoidable risks from radiation from space and the radiation in the soil and rock varies by locality so where you live may be a bigger determinant of cancer risk than what you drink. The medical research community just doesn't have much credibility when it comes to cancer causes. Particularly after the Surgeon General did nothing except a few press releases for decades about cigarettes. Stop doing all those useless, underpowered, non-blind, studies that even researchers don't trust and start putting some effort into finding cures and doing real research instead of only looking for drugs that have minor effect and are a burden on the economy. /rant
I think the OP's point in that sentence is that he was being a good Upwork customer and expects Upwork to hold up their spirit of the bargain, not that he hasn't realised that "Robin" isn't a scammer would have paid him with stolen money (which his own bank might have returned if charged back, but not if it was cash...) and isn't the guy who still owes Upwork money for the work. The stuff about being on good terms is all in the past, when he trusts Robin.

The key bit is "Let me translate this. Robin has been using someone else’s credit card for two years, and this other person realized that money was being withdrawn in the previous two years on a platform called Upwork without his consent." You'd have to be a pretty massive idiot to still trust someone after realising that...
It's a carryover from before the internet. It still exists because it's still used.

You might enjoy looking at how things were done before the internet existed, because all the stuff that you do with the internet also was done before just in a different way.
so that highlights content that has been upvoted by the majority?
I'm intrigued. Typically ugly things are jarring and slow down interaction. Can you elaborate on what makes it easy to read?
> Servers are directly attackable over the internet, unlike browsers :) Browsers are a very well hardened target at this point after decades of attacks.

OTOH, browsers are expected to have an ever-expanding array of capabilities on behalf of the end user, which leads to ever-increasing code complexity and size. Moreover, breaking into any individual browser instances nets you almost nothing, so the interesting security issues are the ones that apply across the board (allowing you to do really large-scale blackhat stuff).

Servers, on the other hand, can be relatively static targets in terms of functionality and code, can use modular code design in a way that is harder for browsers to pull off, and have been much more hardened than browsers over time for the simple reason that even a single server break in has way more implications than a single browser break in.

I don't know how much money I'd put on this wager, but I'd bet that getting into a random nginx install is much, much harder than getting into a random browser instance.
But if I don't change it and my service is only creating a new DigitalOcean droplet with it for every customer I should be roughly OK?
When the “similar” setting is even a little bigger than the minority setting, it is hard to achieve satisfiaction. For example, if the minority color is at 10% but satisfaction requires 15%, then you can’t find satisfaction. This tool shows that the absolute fastest way to be satisfied is to not care about the color of your neighbor. IE, the way to societal happiness is to be color blind.
As far as official protocol goes, at most places I've worked that means you can change teams after a year. They placed you on a team, so they want you there.

People who switch faster either have very accommodating leads or they feel secure enough to give an ultimatum.
We use a system called ezi lockodour here in Australia. I believe the US name is Purina TidyCats.

Made a huge difference to the smell when we switched.
> ...would have gambled on the possibility that painful, risky deploys and unclear success criteria were a pain point for everyone. That means work on metrics, tests, and the tooling for them. It means building reliable rollback and faster deploy. It means building parallel testing pipelines. Overall, when there is chaos and lack of buy-in, one possible solution is to build stuff that demonstrates usefulness without a need for buy-in.

Absolutely excellent advice.

I would start by getting consensus on process. Hit up the main engineering chat channel and describe the issue you want better. "Deployment is painful and bug prone. In order to get code to production, first we have to..." Of course use neutral, non-judgmental language - this is the process that has emerged, no one's fault. This is an engineering problem to be solved. Next, ask for thoughts and opinions. You could suggest your own if you think it will help, but it's about building consensus. Just starting these conversations can be enough sometimes. But you can take it to the next step and actually build the tools that are suggested.

For the record we only cooked it in salted (vegan) butter because of the exact idea that we didn't want to obscure its taste with other spices etc.
So, as a participant in this, I can either limit my comments to the currently accepted social constraints, or I can run my reputation, exempting me from advancing my career or interests.

The first one prevents us from learning anything interesting and from moving society forward. The second is self defeating.

I feel like immutability has become an idea, much like libertarianism, that captures our interest but in practice is ruinous. The sooner we can shed our fascination with it the better.
Paying?
In the long term, if all printers get more expensive, it might also mean they get of better quality because people would expect more from their investment rather than seeing them as throwaway devices. Printing technology being mature, I suspect the price difference would not be _that_ much anyway - I'd have no problem paying 250$ for a printer that sells today for 100$ if it meant I no longer had to chase down pirate cartridges and knew I could still get parts for the machine in ten years time.

Same situation as you. SSRIs seemed mostly ineffective, or sometimes had crazy side effects (will never forget Effexor-induced zaps despite tapering off following the directions to the letter). Bupropion has been fantastic for me since I started and I wished I'd found it 20 years ago.
I live in Summit County Colorado. Rule of thumb: Don't go anywhere with greater than a 30 degree slope. I use the CalTopo app that has a layer that shows the areas greater than 30 degrees.
I have been vaccinated so definitely not antivax.

That type of thinking is completely wrong.

Hospitals are already working at or over capacity, they don't have 1 or 2 % to loose.

If the workers have made it this far, either they have had it and have immunity or they are very good at keeping themselves safe. In either case we should want them working.
I see your point, but you take it too far. Upwork's behavior generally seems to include significant anti-fraud deterrents. In this narrow case when the fraud has already happened, it's true that washing their hands of it doesn't act as a further anti-fraud defense. But it's a very narrow case where a credit-card owner is not going to notice thousands of dollars per month over a multi-month period and where the freelancer specifically doesn't use their time tracking system.

Where it does help Upwork is helping freelancers see that a) they really need to follow the rules, and b) if they don't, complaining won't get them any more money.
Everyone can vote in local elections in Ireland, no matter their citizenship.
In fact everyone can run for local election too... If you live in a place you should have some say on how it is run, how your taxes are spent. It causes no problems. National and constitutional votes are a different story... I am much less in favour of letting citizens who live abroad vote... at the end of the day, they have no skin in the game.
I've done field engineering and customer success in the past and enjoyed it. Going full sales is not very appealing to me.

“Final Offer” – A sci-fi short film masterpiece
The thing is that US is still the "trend setter" - if using iPhones is fashionable and using other phone is not and puts teenager out of the group then they'll want it at all cost, not to mention young adults and Tinder related stuff some people mentioned in their comments where green bubble apparently means "worse, poor, sketchy". And as adults they will be submerged in ecosystem.

If I were google this ~85% US ownership would make me incredibly, insanely scared about my phone related business. And not only phone related as device is gateway for everything. This is basically writing on the wall of what comes in not so distant future - it seems that Apple era is coming - which is sad for multiple reasons: their desire to totally control and lock down software AND hardware, their stance towards web browsers and API's: I'm expecting even more resistance when it comes to implementing browsers capabilities and even more eagerness for gimping existing ones or implementing something "apple way"

Research papers demand more read-throughs compared to other genres. My fellow grad students had their own reading styles, but I think my approach was fairly typical:

- Review: amass several papers related to the topic, either through search (e.g. Google Scholar) or through a survey paper on the topic.

- Filter: read the abstracts and decide which papers are worth skimming.

- Skim: read the introduction, skim the figures and their captions, and conclusion. This step is another filter; ask yourself whether diving into the technical minutia is worth it.

- Read: read the paper in-depth, taking notes in your manner of choice (which seems to be slides for OP).

- Reread: read and skim the paper a few more times until you could summarize it to someone else. Divorce yourself from the paper by reading other papers, and revisit it to contextualize its contribution.

No I'm asserting that people are more comfortable and productive with the system they know best. I'm just saying that I know many people who are perfectly happy and productive using MacOS, or Linux, and that your dismissive comment was pretty rude and uninformed.
Is this advice really practical. Where I come from my social identity number is public and not a secret, and my bank info is something we hand out all the time if we want someone to transfer to our account (as it is designed for).

Moving to America and finding out that these two are your top secrets certainly seemed odd at first, but then I found out that no matter what you are doing you always have to give out your at least your SSN, but also your date of birth and sometimes your banking info.

The amount of times you need to give out information which is supposed to be private is so often that for any normal person it is unreasonable to assume they know when their not. That is, there are so many situations where you are unable to refuse handing out this information, that when the time comes where the right thing to do would be to not give out the information, you won’t know it.

This system seems optimized for scams.
For non-fiction, I almost never read every word in order, from start to finish. I think about what question I want to answer, and how I can get that answer quickly. The table of contents tells you how the book is organized, and the index shows you what's in it. I usually look at those first, then flip to the parts I want to know about and read them.

For research papers, I almost always start by reading the abstract and the conclusion, then reading related sections to answer questions I have about that. I'm not editing papers, or checking their validity: I just want to know what they're going on about.

Another thing is to ask whether you're reading the right document. For that GFS paper, I wonder if it's the right place to start learning about GFS. Ideally, you'd come to it with enough knowledge already that you don't need puzzle over every word. Are there introductory explanations? Youtube videos? Go over those first and come back later, and the paper probably won't be as cryptic.

For fiction, the best advice I ever got from an English professor, which changed my relationship with books, is this: if you don't like it, and nobody is making you read it, then stop reading it. Read something you can't put down instead.

In general, I think you haven't actually read something until you've read it twice. So, read it through once quickly, to get the idea, then read it again more slowly to understand it.

As the aforelinked blog post explains, the extreme environment of the JWST makes this more challenging than it would be for missions like the Mars rovers.

The dark side of the JWST (where all the instruments are) will be operating very close to absolute zero and in near-absolute darkness which, of course, is the entire point of the mission.

A selfie camera there would need to function in that environment, while also somehow not polluting the instruments on that side of the camera with heat.

It's surely do-able, but it's a more complex engineering task (and would therefore require more tradeoffs) than operating a camera in the relatively balmy environment of Mars, where heat pollution is of no concern because of the different nature of the mission.

Keep in mind that doing this on the JWST also need to have been accomplished with decades-old technology, given the extremely long design and engineering lifecycle of a complex space mission.
