I wholeheartedly disagree with this defeatist attitude, which is supposed to magically lead to change more than actually planning and actioning chance itself.

Nowhere in life change happens without trauma. Get good at trauma and you'll get good at life.

I suggest to learn one's own limits through suffering and systematically repeated failure. It's the only way to build not only a map of current yourself, but also a trail towards your future self.

Time is ticking, memento mori, the beatings will continue until morale improves.

> Starlink satellite dishes have a self-heating feature to melt snow...

No, they don't. They just run hot. There are a ton of little ASICs behind the flat plane running the various antenna bits required for the beam forming (directing the beam without physically moving the dish, once it finds a spot it mostly stays put), and they all put out some good heat. Plus, the high frequency RF involved isn't the most efficient in terms of antennas.

Yes, they're warm. No, it's not a dedicated heater mode.
Something that I have observed anecdotally is the pandemic increased employee turnover and that turnover coupled with feet dragging to replace open vacancies created more turnover at many companies.

When the pandemic first hit there was a resolve: "We will chip in and all do extra and help the company get through this." That works for awhile, like how crunch works on a short term basis, but only if it is short term. However, when months turn to years and people find themselves doing their job and the job of their colleagues who left for higher pay over a year ago and the company that they put so much into when the company was in need now seems content to not rehire or promote it causes frustration, burnout, and eventually even more more turnover.

So, yes, pay. But also what that pay represents. A company, especially a corporation in a capitalist society only speaks one language and that is the language of money. If the company underpays an employee based on their market value what that company is signaling is that they do not respect the employee.

It's ok to check in with your old manager. (hey wanna get lunch? hows it going? etc) I went back to an old job after 9 months after having lunch with my old manager. I got a 25% raise out of it in total. I saw the grass wasn't greener and I came back to the job that I wanted when I had left originally. I was able to move up quite well after I came back, there was no harbored doubts.
What makes a federal/national one better than an international one, or an individual one, for that matter?

I admit, it's not an easy question, and my suggestion isn't guaranteed to work, but if there is complete deadlock and extreme polarization (potentially leading to violent conflict) at the national level, it's at least plausible that delegating some of those policies to smaller, more politically homogeneous, units might reduce the tensions, and make it easier for people to vote with their feet if they are unhappy with the rules they live under.
Awesome project. You can already install third-party applications in LG webOS TVs after enabling the "Developer Mode" application, but you have to keep renewing your session every 50 hours or else your apps get deleted. Pretty annoying. Now we can circumvent that.

I'm wondering if we could use WireGuard on these TVs now. That would be sweet... Guessing the userland golang client would be trivial...
Well, cats wouldn't be anywhere except for Africa and maybe eastern Europe if it wasn't for humans.

perl5 essentially ended with Larry Wall switching to perl6. Don't be fooled by yearly releases, and community bugfixes. It's stagnation and destruction, people leaving in masses. A community does only help with support, but it mostly gets worse.

Examples where a community successfully turned the ship around, are Rust, C++ and PHP. But there it were not the community, it were the companies behind driving improvements.
On windows, I can play Netflix in 4K with HDCP 2.2, Windows 10/11 and the HEVC plugin from Microsoft.

Interestingly, if any montior you connect is not HDCP 2.2 you don't get 4K.

GeForce Stuff like Nvidia instant replay gets disabled if you have Netflix up in a tab - so close those before you game.
Just used this to root my 65" LG OLED. Works great!

Looks like you can't change the root password (error writing /etc/shadow), but as the documentation says, you can load your authorized_keys and the password login is no longer allowed.

I was sort of hoping that the cpu would still be reachable from the (wired) network while in standby, but it does not seem to be.
I don't have iCloud or use HomeKit. Software updates stopped working and I can't download apps without suspending my rule, but I almost never do either of those things anyway. Everything I use works fine but yeah, I can see those 2 causing big issues.

I was really annoyed when I first started using bazel, but it really is just an excellent build system. All the things I thought I didn't like about it, I have come to like.
The brain does garbage collection when you sleep. Probably it does an even wider reorganization when you leave some neural circuits unused for some time.

Personally, with gaming, I had some improvements coming from restarting a habit but psychologically it is harder to suck more at something and working to get to your former performance. I have seen it in a lot of gamers. They get gud, for some reason they grow tired and leave, they return, they wonder at how out of shape they are, they play a while and leave again when they realize how much they have to work to get to top tier.
Ofc I am not referring to games based on the amount of time and money you waste on them, but skill based old school FPS shooters.
I'm assuming plagiarism checks are do ne serverside - do you save any logs/information about plagiarism check results for a user, possibly under a TTL?
This is a blindingly obvious hypothesis. Assuming the mind has finite hierarchical memory, this is just a matter of purging cache or overwriting other information.
You're forgetting about the Overton window.

If what you really want is e.g. abolition of software patents, what you want to do is to start off demanding abolition of all patents and then compromise at abolition of software patents. That's what the other side does.
It'd be really cool if instead of having to pull the cord for a long time you could just detach a heavy weight from the bottom and reattach it on the top of the loop.
The difference in selector speed is negligible. Choosing minimal perf gains over greatly improved ergonomics is pain.

I recall back in the days of torrenting before VPN's were all the rage people would use "IP block lists". They didn't work. This is because that idea was based on a false understanding of the problem. If one IP is blocked, another is used. Commonly now we can just spin one up from a cloud provider. A new ipv4 address, to a "hacker" is a keystroke.

This failed idea of IP ban lists in the context of security is dangerous. Time and money spent on this will draw away from proper solutions. Bad security is worse than none. Bad security creates a false sense of security and shoos away people who know better. The quality of a companies existing work will reflect whom is attracted to working on it.

Along with this various domestic IP's will be caught in the dragnet and banned for no good reason.

Instead of figuring out IP's for log4j, build systems where a vulnerability like log4j would be heavily mitigated. The same as how we don't try to make lists of failed ssh logins. We instead design ssh to not be vulnerable, and limit access to it.

That's not my position. My position is if he was that good, he would pass the medical examinations.

> pilot

I'm not a pilot, but my dad was, other family members are, and I worked at Boeing designing the 757. Actually flying an airplane is rather simple. Most of pilot training is about handling an emergency.

These days, emergencies in the air are very rare. You may never have one in a career. But if you do have one, trying to learn how to deal with it on the job is a good way to die.

If someone really did fly 10,000 hours, but still cannot pass the certification test, he's a fool and you're a fool to fly with him.

Also, please do not confuse "did not take the test" with "flunked the test".

P.S. I have some training materials my dad had to learn. You're not going to learn that stuff by just flying around. Much of it is things that are learned about the airplane by expert test pilots, like how fast can you fly it without tearing the airplane apart. Do you think a pilot ought to know that speed before he gets in the cockpit? How about questions like how much runway do you need with a specific amount of airplane gross weight and altitude of the runway? I remember getting on a plane in Colorado and the pilot threw our luggage out, saying it was too much weight for the altitude, and it would arrive with the next flight. Do you want to fly with the pilot who couldn't make such computations? It doan' matter how good at flying he is if the airplane won't lift off the runway.
Interesting. I have always considered Disney+ anemic with little content
I’ve wondered about this. I see them for sale on eBay all the time and I always think “no way, something that old can’t be that cheap.”
I 100% agree, but rarely have found much to put in a functional core. Most everything these days is distributed microservices talking to each other (different argument) and having more than a couple lines in a row that don't call some other service, even in a well-factored app, is almost a cause for celebration.
Yes, but you could still find well adjusted adults in mainstream society once you closed 4chan. Unbelievable, underrated but true!
My guess is that most projects die without their original developer, quietly and out of sight.

If you have a group of developers with a common vision and time and users who find the work useful then the project might continue.

Can’t think of examples of such a project ending though.
Patents, just like capitalism, aren't bad by themselves, but if left in the hands of powerful people/entities who can abuse and extend them at will for profits they become dangerous and cancerous, just like capitalism. The solution is probably in some form of strict control that prevents their abuse; very hard to realize if those abusing patents are the same people who dictate rules, or very close to them.

Thanks, I wasn't familiar with the Senseair S8. I had ordered the Adafruit one after checking Seeedstudio and finding that the ones there were almost as expensive. The Adafruit one is on a breakout board with a JST connector for their Stemma QT system (similar to Grove and Qwiic) so you can plug it into a cpu board without soldering.

I see on Aliexpress, there are a bunch of vendors selling the Senseair S8 for around $26, but other vendors are selling as low as $16 and some others over $35. I wonder whether the very low priced ones are fake or anything like that.

Oh well, the solderless connector will make experimentation easier. If I build more of these I'll get some of the Senseair modules.
Is Space Pixelated? The Quest for Quantum Gravity
I wouldn't say that travelling between Florida and Hawaii is "free", and moving your house and job across the country is not something that people regularly do. Conversely, many people choose to immigrate to the US, or emigrate from it, so although that is more difficult, it is only a difference of degree and not of kind. And of course even nations have to deal with the consequences of policies in nearby countries (or even countries the other side of the world).

As for the point of having a federal government, I could turn the question around and ask what is the point of having state governments when you could just decide everything centrally. You say "some kind of union", but I think you mean "exactly the sort of union that imposes the particular restrictions on states that I think is important". It's very much an open question what the "correct" set of restrictions should be, and that list has changed over the course of US history, and has different choices in different countries.
Like a library with free video that's in your pocket and open 24/7. You don't think that makes a little bit of difference to the practicalities of what happens when e.g. your boiler stops working one evening?

I like this... realtime help to get past those all too familiar development roadblocks
Well my experience is that the natural minor is treated as the "default" minor key. For instance, I always understood that A minor was all on white keys. Here is what the Wikipedia page for "A minor" starts with:

"A minor is a minor scale based on A, with the pitches A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. Its key signature has no flats and no sharps. Its relative major is C major and is parallel major is A major."

Then it goes on to discuss the melodic and harmonic versions. Notably, those need accidentals since the key signature itself describes A natural minor. That in itself suggests "default" for the natural version. As does the name "natural."

I would prefer a slightly more static variant. I'm not a big fan of the opacity on scrolling part.

At first I thought it was some social networking site, since the title briefly flashes. Then I didn't really know which button did what. I was a bit confused by those cards in the portfolio, since these gestures aren't common on the web.

All in all it's technically impressive, but the bells and whistles do not improve the browsing experience.
I read the linked blog post and had the same thoughts. The author points out that CLT has some issues and then ... suggests pedagogy based on embodied cognition instead? Come on. CLT may seem like a quasi-ad hoc explanation of certain empirical data, but at least that empirical data exists, replicates, and provides concrete guidance in the classroom. The embodied cognition literature is a mess.

Also, I think it's wrong to position CLT as opposed to active learning techniques. As long as students don't have to "discover" any essential knowledge, everything is kosher according to CLT. So e.g. peer instruction is fine (e.g. the Mazur paper under the other blog post "Evidence for Various Research-based Instructional Strategies: Countering Critiques").

Xi'an's coverage by 'Digging to China' is absolutely top notch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5GXX_xTTx4

Underrated YT channel that covers China in a way I've not seen anywhere else. Professional and to the point.
I suspect they're thinking longer term than 3 months. The S&P returned nearly 29% in 2021, 18% in 2020 and 38% in 2019. That is doubling your money (nominally) in 3 years which is fantastic compared to the averages.
True but you lose a lot of integration that is really nice to have. This why I never chose this option even though I use i3 on more barebones systems.
I can anecdotally confirm; shrooms today feel about as legal as weed did ~10 years ago - nobody really cared unless you were a blatant dick about, and/or dealing it.

To go the extra mile with your example, there are several (grey market) "local delivery" cannabis dispensaries around me that will deliver in two hours or less. I've been seeing more and more of these services selling shrooms of all variety; chocolates, capsules, gummies, fresh, dried, you name it. If I were to order from the right place, I could have an ounce of weed and a quarter of shrooms at my doorstep in under 45 minutes. What a time to be alive indeed!

Volar eVTOL by bellwether takes to the skies in first flight test
It's a good conjecture, Paul. One might assume that low probability events were a major issue. With a design that is first of a kind, and given that the proven inherent safety characteristics, Oklo could analyze to the most extreme events (as you know, EBR-II showed how this fuel type, with no flowing coolant, and no shutdown systems, would inherently shut itself down http://www.thesciencecouncil.com/pdfs/PlentifulEnergy.pdf).

In this case, that meant assuming that everything above ground was completely gone. The building, the secondary side (power conversion equipment etc), and all human intervention, were all assumed gone. On top of that, Oklo analyzed the simultaneous loss of one of 3 independent shutdown systems. This is obviously a much higher bar than any existing nuclear plant, and for good reason: our mission is to build a new kind of plant with these inherent safety characteristics.

There might be a reason why there wasn't a lot of detail on sodium fires - there is no pool of sodium. The heat pipes use potassium. :) Oklo did tests on what happens in air, if sodium heat pipes were fully breached with huge holes and interacted directly with air. I was there. We just straight up had incredible amounts of energy hitting the heat pipe from myriad solar mirrors. It was pretty fun to test advanced fission with solar thermal. Anyway, there was a little bit of smoke, and actually the heat pipes kept functioning far longer than even the heat pipe expert expected, because the reacted sodium kept self-cauterizing the hole. In this reactor's case, the heat pipes would be in an inert environment, but it was interesting to see what would happen if somehow it were just pulverized in an open outdoor field.

There are roughly 40 external events that had to be analyzed: earthquakes, wind, tornadoes, seiche, avalanches, landslides, wildfires, you get the idea. What happens in our methods was that the worst possible event was analyzed. We took seismic accelerations worse than ever recorded in the history of the entire united states. It turns out, with a thorough risk analysis (based on risk analysis standards set up in the history of EBR-II and PRISM and others), that assuming you lose literally everything above ground is about the most conservative thing that is within the realm of happening once every million years. Keep in mind we were just seeking a 20 year license for a plant smaller than the MIT research reactor, but low-enriched.

But the end result is as you say, we have learned, they've learned, and we resubmit. We believe deeply that if fission is going to make a difference a commercial plant has to be built before the end of the decade! Happy to answer any questions.
Which is why making them “optional” is not the neutral position that it might sound like at face value. Your government either recognizes that liberty, or it doesn’t. Assigning responsibility to someone else is exactly equivalent to the latter.
Look at how much open source has revolutionized the software industry. It teaches us a few lessons. First, that people invent for the joy of it regardless. And second, that innovation happens faster when unencumbered.

Another good example is penicillin. Imagine where we would be with bacterial infections today without it entering the public domain from day 1.

I understand the desire to own your work, and immediately arriving at the conclusion that patents are morally or ethically right, but fundamentally when you release some piece of information into the world, it is for all practical purposes no longer yours. Patents are an artificial protection for something that simply isn't true in practice, and it doesn't appear that it increases innovation at all, if your focus is the practical side of things.
Most of the time major inventions are produced by communities, not individuals.
the final paragraph seems to summarize the article :

"The more you think about it, the more “it’s early days!” begins to sound like the desperate protestations of people with too much money sunk into a pyramid scheme, hoping they can bag a few more suckers and get out with their cash before the whole thing comes crashing down."
I think we need fewer package deals when it comes to politics. At least in the US, if you feel strongly about a single issue, you currently have to find the party that aligns with that view. But then when you vote for them, you also are voting for a great big basket of crazy that comes along for the ride, in the form of "that party's platform". I personally can't in good conscience vote for either of the Big-2 because of this baggage. It would be great to have candidate that just said "You know what, I'm going to for sure support this one particular issue, and abstain on the rest." I'd be up for that.
Pretty much nobody really cares about these issues. I am aware of the history of Pirate parties in the Nordic countries but you are completely wasting your time with this in the US. You’d get a lot more attention by talking about free speech and social media regulation, but nothing like this will ever be anything but a hobby club.
