I mean, it's simply very strange to read this through the lens of some kind of "rules of hygiene" outlook. Nobody took it that way: jews weren't some kind of naive children, traditions and rituals were deeply embedded in their culture. The gospel account gives the actual context and explicitly shows it has nothing to do with hygiene. He never tells them not to wash their hands: I've had OCD so at least to me it's painfully obvious it's more like "don't do X hoping this will clean your soul", they explicitly talk of defiling which is a spiritual concept.

Christ was not against the concept of God's ceremonial rules/law: after all, He was the one instituting it in the beginning, my understanding is that He was against hypocrisy and burdening people with custom rabbinic rules instead of focusing on the spirit of the Law.

You can just take a look at the excess of some modern rabbinical judaism ceremonial rules for proof.

Again: it's very hard for me to understand how you can read those passages with such a strange mindset: material things were often just shortcuts to spiritual conversations, they already had thousands of years of Scripture in that direction
I actively don't seek out information about the artist I like. There's exactly nothing to gain by knowing who they are and what their views on the world are. It's better to stay ignorant and enjoy their work.

Example: I read the Dragons of Autumn Twilight (etc) books by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman in the early 90s. The book series was hugely influential on my youth.

I didn't know Tracy Hickman is male until way into the current millennium.
I don't spend a lot of time on those comparison-style charts if I'm honest, but that is good (and valid) feedback for them. I also hadn't heard of it, I discovered sysbox via jpettazo's updated post at https://jpetazzo.github.io/2015/09/03/do-not-use-docker-in-d..., he's an advisor of nestybox the company that develops sysbox.

For the CI/CD usecase on AWS, sysbox presented the right balance of trade-offs between something like Firecracker (which would require bare metal hosts on AWS) and the docker containers that already existed. We specifically need to run privileged containers so that we could run docker-in-docker for CI workloads, so rootless docker or podman wouldn't have helped. Sysbox lets us do that with a significant improvement in security to just running privileged docker containers as most CI environments end up doing.

Just switching their docker-in-docker CI job containers to sysbox would have mitigated 4 of the compromises from the article with nearly zero other configuration changes.

And if you think really. The poor who live from hand-to-mouth, do they really care about inflation as long as wages keep going up with it. It is not like they even aim to save anything. So prices going up if also their wages do have really net zero effect for them.
> ...the system is allowing the rich and powerful to use inflation to suck money away from everyone not heavily in the market (especially the poor as inflation is a highly regressive tax) and into their own pockets through increases in valuation.

It's not that simple. You're talking like poor people are debt-free and keep jealously-guarded meager savings in cash. However, chances are they have far more debt than assets and no savings whatsoever, so inflation doesn't hurt them (so long as their wages keep up) and may even help them.

I'm not sure if this actually applies to you, but your comment reads a bit like cherry-picking in the name of some ideological fixation (e.g. crypto/gold bug opposition to the idea of inflation. leading to attempts to paint inflation as the worst thing ever).

At the end of the day if a direct line cannot be drawn between a problem (or its solution) and revenue, then management doesn't care and are not capable of filling in that line in their minds. And if you fill it in for them, you'll get at most a pat on the back.

You know that's not the point I'm making.

But even for authors that _are_ highly competent at authoring SQL, it is dubious to allow them to compose ad-hoc queries ad-nauseum (let's even pretend these "developers" are _also_ excellent at performance tuning).

This is death-by-a-thousand-cuts. The approach is just too granular. Databases _notoriously_ don't have unlimited throughput, and depending on your particular RDBMS it may be prohibitively expensive to just "throw more hardware" at the problem (I'm looking at you MS SQL Server).

For any system that you can imagine there is a point (i.e. scale) at which the above paradigm becomes a very big problem. Believe me. We are in the process of moving logic _out_ of SQL for this exact reason at my current company!

Perhaps you caught this news story, but Epson very recently found 30 brand new unsold R-D1s and planned to distribute them somehow. Could be your chance! I suspect these are pretty collectable now, especially having used the Leica M mount.

One of the strangest things on that camera is it has a physical analogue gauge to display how much free space the memory card has, like the fuel level in an old car.

Looks like they aren't intending to use Cranelift. Which makes sense for an initial port that already has its own codegen. Personally found Cranelift a joy to use. Would be nice if Cranelift had a WASM backend to could compile a JIT to WASM to JIT WASM in WASM (this cyclic feature would be useful for creating JITs for dynamic languages in WASM rather than compiling the C interpreters to WASM)

Either VC funded or bootstrapped. What were the signs/metrics/signals that led you to the decision to shutdown?
having been there (last was in the fray 7 years ago now... geeze time flies) here are my thoughts:

1. These are all technological developments, not scientific developments. Even MRNA-vaccines leading edge stuff was being built when I was in grad school (20 years ago). So judging by what technical developments are coming out now, may be a lagging indicator on science.

2-1: Absolutely correct. Out of 10 years in science I only did 1 "officially on what we were funded to do". The other nine were on sneakily independent shit, or on fully independent (hard money) experiments.

2-2: No comment either way, have no experience with 'methods development' at least in the sense that he's talking about.

2-3: correct in the short term but wrong in the long term. If you are foolish enough to be a postdoc that puts everything into the science, you won't get promoted, so your track record of being a good scientist ends on the vine.

3. Correct in the short term but wrong in the long. I did exactly this but couldn't keep going because being a postdoc was terminal for me.

4. Correct. I tick off at least four of these bullets, including "unwelcome demographics".

5-12. All correct, without much else to add. Well said!

The biggest problem in sciences (biological) in the US is that we let the good quality scientists burn out and quit, and those who advance are mostly people who are playing the game (with a negative selection for those who are actually good scientists, because playing the game is so competitive at this point that it burns time effort and brainspace). This is a leadership defect. We don't give professors instructions on how to groom, including putting time, effort, and political capital into their grad students and postdocs to become lab leaders in their own right (if that is what they want)

One thing that the author does not (and cannot) address is deep knowledge, or thinking about things from first principles, a la feynman or musk. I think as we have more and more interdisciplinary scientists jumping in at the interdisciplinary level, we're already in an era where diletanttery (especially in trendy science mashups like biophysics) is high. This will further dilute expertise and make it hard to separate the wheat from the lemons. Once had a coworker grad student think you could drop a bacterial plasmid into a mammalian cell and get protein expression. I told him I would do it for him, but "I did not think that would work". He then confidently reported a positive observation (which, thank god, did not make it into any sort of publication). Dude is now a associate professor of genome sciences at university of washington.

Personally I am ok with both crypto and Casinos existing, just because some people are stupid doesn't mean i should have my freedoms restricted. Stupid Should Hurt.

As an aside crypto has the potential to change the world for the better if it ever becomes used as a real currency. I think the people that stand to lose in that situation love spreading FUD about crypto. However it is probably not bitcoin that is going to become that imho, but rather some POS coin.

Yup. My wife learned her first word of English at 43, I've had plenty of time to see how one's mother tongue has a permanent effect on language. My interpretation of what I see:

She has internal word concepts. When the English words fit cleanly into her existing concepts it's easy. When two English words map into one word concept it's considerably harder, it took her a long time to correctly separate turn on from open (and turn off from close), but at least any given thing always goes the same way. In situations where that doesn't even work she will make frequent errors even to this day--do not trust her use of gender words.
Nothing will have the sort of cultural impact you're talking about ever again. There's too much content, platforms and viewers are both fragmented, and viewing habits have radically changed.
Using the Mac in 1994 was a revelation I could work all day and never need the command line. The UI had to be good because there was no plan B.

With Linux is is the other way around except the desktop is Plan Z.

So many Linux enthusiasts practice cult thought-stopping, ‘Linux is free software, thus good. Windows is not free, thus bad.’

People with that mentality are going to be blind to the many big and small wrong things with the Linux desktop. If they can’t see them, if they just make excuses, they won’t fix them.

Thus Windows gets a little better each year and Linux stagnates, even slides backwards. The Linux command line is great so many of us use Linux that way and are satisfied, and we can live with a broken desktop so we don’t need to confront the brokenness.

For me the Linux desktop is beneath contempt, if I want to install software I type

apt-get install whatever

Which is orders of magnitude easier than installing software on Linux or MacOS (really! Get over any fixed ideas of cli vs gui and count muscle motions and the number of thoughts, decisions and waiting it takes.). Try to do what it trivial with the CLI with the GUI and it is a battle at best. Nobody sees it as essential, for instance, that there is enough space for labels to fit. It’s quite likely the GUI package manager is busted and even if it does work it will probably hang up for a while and give no feedback about why it is hanging up.
At first I was like "but with those rules you could play BURN every other card, and that's not good" then I realized that if I'd only wasted half of an average waking day for the last couple decades, I'd probably be god-emperor of humanity.

I think that isn't the case. The simplices are pointier, which means that the "corner spheres" don't go so far into their corners.

If I've done my calculations right, putting n+1 n-spheres in the corners of an n-simplex with unit sides so that they're tangent to one another gives them a radius of 1 / (sqrt(2n(n+1)) + 2), and then if you put a sphere in the middle tangent to all those it has radius [sqrt(2n/(n+1)) - 1] times this.

So for very large n, the "corner spheres" have radius of order 1/n, and the "centre sphere" has radius about sqrt(2)-1 times the radius of the "corner spheres", and both of these -> 0 as n -> oo.

(But! "If I've done my calculations right" is an important condition there. I make a lot of mistakes. If you actually care about the answer then you should check it.)

Some guy took out a full-page ad in the NYT to argue against allowing Tesla to beta-test their FSD software among the general public.

Tesla doesn't have an official PR department, so instead they're relying on random idiots on Twitter to defend them. One of their most prominent defenders posted this piece, which is clearly crafted by corporate PR.

It also contains a brutal amount of hilarious self-owning statements, for example this one:

> The important thing to understand is that these are driver assistance systems, not self-driving cars! The name of the Full Self-Driving package may confuse some people who aren’t familiar with it, but it is just a driver assistance system not unlike a much more advanced version of cruise control.

The choice is not only based on the app ecosystem. I started with Android phones because why pay the Apple tax? They had so many problems I eventually bought an iPhone and never looked back.

As for the "ecosystem", I'm probably an outlier but I'm so disgusted by all the IAP crap available in both "ecosystems" that my phone is basically an expensive portable chat terminal. I have almost no other apps on it.

Based on how I understand the ContitutionDAO went down the problem is it’s clear to others what funds these things have available going into an auction (as it’s organised publicly).

What you should be hearing is that it’s not necessarily irresponsible for somebody not to know something when they are inheriting a system, and that it’s totally reasonable to expect to encounter poorly done systems in the real world that need someone to fix them.

It’s often the case that somebody slapped something together in an area that wasn’t their expertise, it’s been noticed that it’s a real problem, and someone has been hired to fix that problem. The “not knowing” is often the reason they’ve been hired. Trying to sort out a real world scenario (while also handling other needs of the org) is almost definitionally Taking Responsibility. So let’s not shit on people trying to cleanup a bad situation by calling them irresponsible for not knowing.

This project was based on a discovery from a piece I wrote back in 2017, a backstory on the NESticle era of emulation. I essentially dug into a rumor about SNESticle appearing in an EA boxing game for the GameCube, and once I did, there it was.

I'm Scottish, in my sixties, and can remember seeing brown Windsor soup on menus, almost certainly while on holiday in England with my family when I was young, so 1960s or early 1970s. I can't remember if I ever tried it though. I'm in my sixties.

A web search turns up this pre-decimalization advertisement: https://englandspuzzle.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Batche... . Just plain "Windsor soup", but dark (dare I say brown?), and so clearly not the Francatelli recipe mentioned in the article.
It's also on a 1926 menu in the Hartlepool Northern Daily Mail, shown here: http://www.foodsofengland.co.uk/brownwindsorsoup.htm . Binns was a department store in Sunderland, England.

So it definitely existed, but appears to have fallen out of fashion decades ago.

This raises a lot of questions, perhaps most importantly (and unanswerably): did he really have SNESticle ready to go back in 1997 and then chose to sit on it just to spite the people who were bugging him for it? Or is the 1997 date just a joke, to spite the very same people now? Or is the whole thing a joke? Who knows, ...

Author of this emulator really sounds like a man with an insane amount of skills and an even larger grudge assuming he actually did either of the two things just out of spite. Got to respect his dedication either way.
