Which is why jumping to the hypothesis that it was an age-of-consent issue is surely premature.
And just like OP said, it generally takes a couple of months to go from paper to working code. I've implemented a few papers as code as a side-gig for a while, and I wouldn't mind having a baseline from the authors to check and see if I'm following the paper correctly!
We would have a funeral for Pelosi, but democracy would be no closer to dying. And while it's a tragedy for anyone to be murdered, hype about it "nearly killed democracy" is just inflammatory.

Well, de facto that convention wasn't respected, see Yugoslavia. Also, Ukraine did get something from us even after WW2 [1]

I agree about the unfurling part, I was just trying to point out that the Ukrainian state crying about "the big bad Russian wolf" when that bad wolf is a major reason behind their actual foundation as a State is a bit hypocritical. Even more so when the Ukrainian state expects us, their neighbours, to join in in their battles against the Russians.

Well, but wasn't AlphaFold at least in part trained based on the existing mechanical models? Or was AlphaFold only trained on ground truth imaging of the folding process?
> The paper itself is enough to reproduce all the results.

Every researcher thinks this, and it's always wrong. If you care about scientific progress, publish the code and data.

Besides, available code should cause more people to look at your work and ultimately cite it.
I read this comment, expecting the site to simply be a large "NO"

I was very disappointed to see that there are articles, covid stats, and whatnot linked
I mean, I suppose it's a reasonable pronoun for someone to use if they wish to be referred to as "they" ...
Thanks for the information. I was not aware that employee compensation was exempt from that limitation.

I couldn't in practice see small companies choosing to go through the hassle of issuing stock to candidates for a week's worth of work though. It would be a lot of legal hassle for a process that's problematic for both sides.

Plus, you might end up with the problem of people interviewing at every hot startup that does a "1-week job trial" hoping to get some early stock at the next company that becomes a unicorn in 10 years.

What a strange saga.
> If you are writing JS/TS, I can strongly recommend trying to write your own custom liter rules. It's quite simple and it's a great way to establish "architecture assertions". Use this tool (set the parser to ESLint): https://astexplorer.net/

Goland devs have been doing that since the inception of the language since the standard library ships with a Go parser. It's a no brainer for modern languages.

Code reviews shouldn't be spent catching formatting errors or naming conventions and coding guideline enforcement should be fully automated on a continuous integration server.
In my opinion, you're wasting your time with layer shell. The design of it is very X11-like and flawed. Panels setting their own position is problematic and prevents the shell from doing layout updates in one pass. You'll want to drop it eventually and use a private shell similar to the way it's done in weston.
How come you don't mention your past allegations and EI2030 at all on the site? Seems like a very significant thing to leave out. There's also no list of people involved in Modos on the site.

You have a Spartan FPGA as your display controller? For a laptop? You call it an E-INK laptop but I saw on your Lancer it is for some alternative LCD technology instead?
I push 0 over and over.
I used a similar computer as my daily driver for half a year.

I lost touch with all the groups I who use Slack for organizing.
I'm just saying that as a consumer of software, I am wary of subjective terms like "fair" that I can't afford to litigate. Yeah, pricing software is hard and of course the seller wants to tailor each deal to the customer... but if the customer is already dependent on the software, the power relationship is lopsided.

As a customer, if your software is something that I can fairly easily replace, then sure this license is not scary. If it's critical to my business, this license is the same as a "trial period" and I need to have some idea what happens at the end of the trial period so I can compare it against the alternatives (competitors, build in-house, etc).

Examples: Some random image processing library - sure, I can probably find or make alternatives. Some exotic database - probably not, too much lock-in.
It's the network effect. There are too many people pushing good content on Youtube to ignore it.
In my experience (not 60 but I don't see it getting better), is when learning some arbitrary tech you have to bump your head on a lot of tedious things, there is so much to learn it takes a lot of effort to get to that eureka point. With age I am less inclined to dedicate hours to this, the outcome doesn't feel worth the effort anymore, the knowledge soon becomes redundant as the new shiny comes along. Perhaps this due to experience rather than age to be fair.

Also as a junior engineer, its not that the problem your trying to crack is likely to be some business problem, most likely some stupid bug in your code.
Doing it not-badly would take time and energy; likely more of each than it took to create the game.
I chose the option to close my account.

What do you propose should happen if someone breaks into your house with a baseball bat? Call the police and wait for them to arrive? Speak politely to the intruder?

I'm not saying everyone has the right to bomb Times Square. But I am saying that the "individual", which some people are asserting to be a taboo idea, can use force to have a chance at preserving their life within their private residence.
What you say makes lots of sense, I think the best design depends on many other factors, like the size of the codebase, the size of the team, and how modularity is handled within the whole system. What made sense for my project might not make sense for another. And yes, I agree that if something needs to be a module that can be used in unrelated projects, it should not depend on global state... unless those projects are explicitly defined to share a common programming environment, in which case they are not pure modules anymore.

My point, maybe going a bit meta, is that no matter how you organize it in terms of which language features you are using, application code effectively does depend on its running environment, and the information from those dependencies needs to get there somehow.
> Annexing Crimea did nothing to improve Russia's security against NATO.

Really? Russia's naval base at Sevastopol is in the Crimea. That's a very large naval base, and provides their only naval access to the Mediterranean. In order to station an old carrier off the shore of Syria, they had to sail it from the Baltic, through the English Channel, round through the Straits of Gibraltar. That must have been pretty humiliating.

It would have been smart for Ukraine to negotiate something with Russia giving them the right to continue using that naval base.
Yeah, I don't really get that either. If push comes to shove and we (the US) devalue our currency, then all the other foreign debt holders are left holding the bag while we just suffer through a couple years of recession.
thought it just me! - cool looking graphic, but couldn't make heads or tails out of what I would use it for.
> And the last point. NATO is the mechanism for securing the U.S. presence in Europe. If NATO is liquidated, there will be no such mechanism in Europe. We understand that not only for the Soviet Union but for other European countries as well it is important to have guarantees that if the United States keeps its presence in Germany within the framework of NATO, not an inch of NATO’s present military jurisdiction will spread in an eastern direction.

That doesn't stop management from trying, though.
The market for the SteamDeck seems less around the 'Gaming PC' market - and more as a handheld pc. Essentially to bring the market accessibility of PC and 'desktop/laptop' games to a handheld factor. I don't dare take a laptop with me to work to play games on at lunch, but something the size of a Switch with my already existing library? Yes please!

It feels like this is a good way to market the device for potential future plans where Valve could build other niche hardware that would improve the viability of Linux for gaming devices on other hardware.
A small historical note: there are/were two different Brazilian currencies called Real. The current one has "reais" as the plural, but the old one had "réis" as its plural form.
“One” is a fairly formal voice, but certainly an option with a long precedent.
The Jan 6th event (whatever word one uses) was far from secret. Most of the coordination happened in public, and the participants were not shy about their intentions.

After reddit shut down /r/TheDonald, the "pedes" migrated to thedonald dot win (which I think has since been shuttered and moved elsewhere). With all the claims being made about a stolen election, I was watching that site with morbid fascination in December and early January, including the planning for the 6th specifically (I assume it's still in the Wayback Machine). The talk ranged from vague protest, to a quasi-Occupy strategy of refusing to leave until results are overturned, to explicit calls to violence and far-right fantasies ("1776 solutions to 1984 problems", "day of the rope", etc).

And the whole time, I assumed: obviously this is on the radar of the FBI and the "IC". These idiots are out of their depth: they don't even know how to use encryption to coordinate their attempted coup, and they're gonna walk right into a regiment of Feds on the capitol steps.

Luckily Trump is fundamentally a coward, and Pence has some shred of integrity (or just sense), and the participants failed to galvanize a response from the more mainstream Trumpers. But if you want to talk about an "inadequate response": the gross incompetence of our bloated national security apparatus failing to do the only thing that justifies their existence really takes the cake; and I can't help but think all the Congressional hearings and hand-wringing and crocodile tears is a theatrical distraction from that institutional failure.
I find chatbots to be pretty good tbh. It’s like search but within nested levels of context.
The president (and president-elect) weren't anywhere near the building and their safety was not at issue.

There is no federal procedure or "chain of command" for replacing individual Representatives and Senators -- that goes back to the states they represent, with either elections or appointments.
I remember subscribing to Humble Bundle back when they came out with the original humble bundle. Four or five games, pay what you want, works on Linux. As a kid in High School, having a source for good Linux games was amazing. I paid for a few Humble Bundles but I eventually moved away from gaming in general. Sad to see how far they have fallen.
Maybe congress should look inward? There is no end to the divisiveness in congress on both sides. We used to be able to compromise and make progress. Now we just use any loophole possible to avoid dealing with the other side. Not only that they constantly trash, berate, and spread fear about the other side.
The bad public policy in this case is a symptom of cultural expectations, not the other way around.

If a politician runs a campaign on “reducing student loan assistance” they will have committed political suicide and it won’t change the minds of any mother pushing their 17 year old son to go to college.
Everything hinges on our rotation around the sun - at the most fundamental level: seasons, crops, construction schedules, even military campaigns. From there on up we get holidays, sport seasons, business cycles. These things have to match up to the calendar from one year to the next or there will be chaos.

If our calendar is off by a second or two a year, it's very easy to correct without confusing the general populace - most people want to spend precisely zero time thinking about calendars and orbits. Currently, only a few nerds have to worry about leap seconds and the like. And it's part of their jobs, so it's OK.

In a two-calendar system, every human will have to keep track of a personal calendar and a scientific calendar. Asking people who don't care to do that - and to fix an issue we already have an almost zero-friction fix for - is a non-starter.
The Wikipedia article on System Dynamics says it arose in the 1950s as a result of the work of Jay Forrester. It doesn't mention Stafford Beer. Should it?

I worked on systems that have additional code controls on the build servers that can block the builds. It is a bad idea. Let me take an example from the real world. Large monolith site. Some error occurred that needed a hotfix. The hotfix did not build on the server. It was not clear why it did not build so it took a maybe an hour to fix. Turned out that it did not like how a comment was formatted. Which added even more confusion since the build error did not even point to any real code. And that is how a comment costed ~50k dollars.

Maybe there could be like a grace period instead. Like, if you do not fix this within 30 days, new builds will be blocked.
isn't that like asking do latent diabetics seek out unhealthy foods?
> They subpoena you to get a better answer

Sure except the subpoena in question was not actually about records of conversations that the rioters had, it was about efforts FB did/didn't take to discount election misinformation.

Usually beneath the veneer of such questions it seems to be some sort of libertarian/crypto fan/anti fiat currency ideologue. Rarely based on sober analysis.

I think it would represent a fairly strong change in global power structures, but like you I don’t think the sky would fall.
I used to go through dynamism.com and conics.net for importing Panasonic Let's Note and Sony laptops. Was it either of those that You were trying to recall?
This is not a great overview of the tradeoffs. It’s a one-sided rant that pretends AC doesn’t have any benefits, which any power engineer can tell you isn’t true.
Can someone explain why this is being downvoted? It seems like an honest assessment of the situation.
I'm a scientist too, in computational chemistry. To me, releasing the research code that accompanies a paper is an imperative. Increasingly, journals or individual (peer) reviewers demand it. It's essential for reproducibility. I consider the work that goes into making the code releasable simply part of the job.
Surely, this is the very definition of too many options?

This was my thought as well. Even an older MacBook Air can run Linux and is lightweight enough to carry around, if weight is an issue.

It sounds like this person is just cheap (it's fine to be thrifty), but I'd rather spend a little more on hardware that doesn't get in my way of accessing medical information or communicating with others if that's my only method due to illness or medical conditions.

Just coffee these days. I feel like I stopped snacking in the last 2 years. I snacked much more when we were in the office. lots of trailmix, wasabi peas, M&Ms, and bowls of cereal. I always had wet wipes lol because of snacks.

It is pretty culturally determined what constitutes mental illness. The underlying cause might not be more different to foot fetish, maybe even treatment is similar.

It feels like policy isn't correlated with action, sometimes even with the conversation
What alternative strategy exactly are you suggesting that individual entities take which solves the problem? This reminds me of the rats from Meditations on Moloch [1]:

> In fact, it’s not just art. Any sect at all that is leaner, meaner, and more survivalist than the mainstream will eventually take over. If one sect of rats altruistically decides to limit its offspring to two per couple in order to decrease overpopulation, that sect will die out, swarmed out of existence by its more numerous enemies. If one sect of rats starts practicing cannibalism, and finds it gives them an advantage over their fellows, it will eventually take over and reach fixation.

Long term we need a lot more energy globally than we have today.
Think like 2x USA per capita total energy consumption, but all as electricity.
Take that model global, and we need a lot more electricity.
One example is using it for network monitoring. Imagine an SNMP agent as a sensor, managed by a nerve, which gathers information via SNMP Gets and other techniques to build a semantic model from one or more SNMP Management Information Blocks (MIBs). This then is reasoned over, aggregated up the chain, further reasoned over, and fed into rules that trigger model changes that get propagated to the nerves, who translate those changes into SNMP management actions.
I only tried the online "official" Rust Book before (and that one didn't work for me unfortunately), didn't try No Starch.
I am extremely cynical of all “climate initiatives”. From plastic straw bans to water conservation. All I see is the uber wealthy telling the poor why they need to consume less and but spend more.
Sometimes it really is easier to torrent a show and know you will see it ad free and without buffering than to find it on any given streaming service and suffer the ads.

Recently I've seen even ad free, paid or unpaid, streaming options that still force ads into their shows at the beginning or the end. There is a new Nerdwallet ad that says, "Enjoy this ad free break before getting back to your show - brought to you by nerdwallet" I almost screamed at my tv when I saw that. If your name is plastered on the screen and the show/movie I'm watching is disputed to display it its an ad...
I buy BDs so that kids can watch long form kids movies without needing to know about YouTube or Netflix or Prime (I mean they do, but they are now allowed there yet). I understand this will not last, but as far as I am concerned, longer they are away from total junk that Youtube offers, and from curated crap available via Netflix and such - the better.

If someone from netflix is reading: I would very much like to self curate (e.g. whitelist) which movies are are available when signed in via kids profile. Not blacklist, whitelist. Only show series and movies that are allowed.
> That said I don't have a good solution. Maybe somehow promoting better sources of news or making it easier for these more reliable news sources to generate income.

I think the basic idea is that the government shouldn't be involved in institutionalizing or promoting preferred media narratives of any form.

I disagree that the "larger issue" is that people are misinformed. In fact, I would suggest that there have been several thousand years where people were horribly misinformed on a number of topics.
I know this is a trope that comes up in half of the posts involving a journal article, but scientific journal pricing is so confusing to me.

I can pay $30 for digital access to a 4 page article (it says Vol 375 pg 226-229). Or I can pay $15 and get the entire issue of Vol 375 in print? Or I can pay $80/yr to join AAAS and get "50 issues of Science", but which issues? I assume they mean the upcoming year of issues, but I still want to read issue 375...

I consider buying or joining every once in a while when a cool article like this links back to a paper I can't find on Arxiv. But then I remember how expensive individual articles are and how confusing it is to sign up.
"Free to play" works better from a $$$ point of view. There is a never-ending supply of kids who can't pay money up front but are willing to sit through 30-second ads for every 2 mins of gameplay.
Also Dickens' "A Child's History of England", surprisingly good, where he goes over most of it with a childlike glee.
Publishing code could be nice, if for example your code has a commercial application and a company wants to use it, a reference implementation might be nice.

Reproducibility -- I dunno. A re-implementation seems better for reproducibility. The paper is the specific set of claim, not the code. If there are built-in assumptions in your code (or even subtle bugs that somehow make it 'work' better), then someone who "reproduces" by just running your code will also have these assumptions.

Coding time -- are you sure? Professional coders are pretty good. If you have, for example, taken the true academic path and written your code in FORTRAN, there's every chance that a professional could bang out a proof of concept in Python or C++ in like a week (really depends on the type of code -- EIGEN and NUMPY save you from a whole layer of tedium that BLAS and LAPACK 'helpfully' provide). Really good pseudocode might be more useful than your actual code

Another note -- personally I treat my code as essentially the IP of my advisor. (He eventually open sources most things anyway). But do check on the IP situation if you want to open source it yourself. If you are working as a research assistant, some or all of your code may belong to you University. They probably don't care, but it is better to have the conversation before angering them.
The Baltic states are NATO members, which makes it a significantly different situation.
What are your thoughts on including pseudocode within the paper directly? It seems to clear up some of the ambiguities while adding brevity since it doesn't provide the somewhat frivolous details of implementation. I think it also limits some of the potential stylistic critiques.
I think the subtext is some people associated systemd opposition to right wing politics (not fully unfounded if I understand) so the maintainers wanted to get out ahead of it when releasing another distro without systemd

Facebook shutting down M in 2018 should have been a pretty clear sign that the prospects for good chatbots are grim. Even with their massive resources and top talent, they concluded it was a bad bet.
Given the timelines this is happening along, it would not be surprising if we end up with a middle of the road solution that involves some kind of road marker/beacon standard to provide points of reference for these systems. It only took a decade or so to retrofit LED streetlights.
