I don't like either sides of the argument. It really depends on the people. People that are doing well will want to work, poor people and people that just have a hard time getting a job will eventually give up. Proof? How people stop looking for work already and give up and stop getting counted as unemployed.
Alan Moore for me. Lots of people know Watchmen is about what would "really" happens if super heroes existed, and that lived rent free in my mind for years.

But 2 things really made it click. Alan saying Rorschach (who I thought was a great character) was basically Batman-in-the-real-world, which killed Batman for me. The nail on the head was this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2yZwh_gCIU about Marvelmen and I don't remember if it's in the video or I read somewhere else, but it's when a super-hero that can manipulate reality, which in fact there's about a hundred of them in Marvel / DC, decides money is the root of all evil and vanishes money from the planet, and the world descends in complete chaos.

And now that actually lives rent free for me, as a young men angry at the hyper-capitalism and consumption we live in, who used to occasionally think the world would be better without money, I now realize that would indeed plunge humanity into a freaking mess.

I now enjoy watching Marvel and DC movies for the spectacle and action scenes, but I sorta don't enjoy most comics (at least the superhero genre) anymore.

What I think it's funny is that it just took me a long time to realize this. Actual superhero writers know exactly who they're writing for, angsty 13-year boys, see for example the interview here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dfI_2dscGE
Used to be that everyone worked brutal hours six days a week, even children. The working class wasn’t called that for nothing. All this work yielded a very meagre and fragile existence.

Now we have 40 hour 5 day weeks as standard - already a utopia compared to before automation started with the first industrial revolution. People are even talking about 32 hours. These tiny work hours buy us a king’s ransom of goods, and probably half of us are either retired or too young to work.

Added to this, we’re seeing the best job market in history.

If you can find the cloud inside this silver lining, your eyesight is to be applauded. Perhaps you had modern eye surgery giving you 20/20 vision.
I have heard those complaints from a few--though not a lot of--people, but coming more from a video background that has always struck me as not really understanding how color works, either up front with aesthetic setting or on the back end with color grading.

And if you don't want to get into grading, Fuji loads up their cameras with film stock analogues that can give you all the quirk you ever wanted.
You don't have to send it through the filter. You can decide @ accept() time that the message will rejected. If you intended to blackhole it; you were planning on burning bandwidth and letting the sender send their bytes entirely, and then responding "2xx OK, whatever"

Instead, just simply say "500 FOAD." after DATA and be done with it on the non-zero chance the sender actually has something important to say, and needs to decide if they need to use another channel.
Minor correction; pandemic financial aid for individuals has been conditional on hardship. The PPP on the other hand just required businesses to pinky swear that they'd retain or bring back employees. Then the "loans" were completely forgiven.
The "rules" of unicode change over time with updates to the unicode standard(s). One big one is the grapheme breaking algorithm, which has been updated over time to support things like the family emoji and other compositions.
Yarn v2 is much better for committing dependencies than committing node_modules.

However, it's problematic. Only use it if you're certain it will solve a specific problem you have.

Consider using Docker to build images that include a snapshot of node_modules.
The thing is... Every function in the std works with slices, not woth array lists. You pass slices to mem.tokenize(), you pass alices to mem.cmp(), you pass a slice to sort().

I think that's why ArrayList exposes it for you, so you can just use it as a regular slice everywhere. I, honestly, find that simple and liberating. I'm glad there's no other kind of accessor thing.

Continuous memory is just fast, and if you have some first class support for working with it, it makes no sense to duplicate the api. But again, if you want a hashmap you don't get the slice, for the slice doesn't make sense there...

As for issuing no warrant or probable course- what of it? American law enforcement only needs to respect their own citizens,not citizens living and belonging to another country.

This is a very unpleasant tactic, but i have to say i would feel far more uncomfortable if it was China who had this capability and not the US.
Mh, I don't know. Some of the changes that people complain the most about (from Leopard's 3D dock to Safari 15 tabs) were undone by Apple. And for some changes that haven't been undone, like monochrome icons everywhere, I still mis-click things so often that I doubt it's just nostalgia.

If you'd let people mix and match elements from different eras of macOS, I'm sure you'd see some patterns regardless of when people got into Macs; similar to how people have lots of abstract opinions about architecture, but somehow the tourist buses always stop at the same cozy-looking old towns. Beauty and usability are not entirely subjective.
Thanks, that was helpful in thinking about it.
If you tried to build a Mac app based on Storyboards, which iirc has been the default for the past few years, then yes. All the docs are for iOS and the Mac side is completely under documented.

The classic way of building building apps is quite well documented though. It has been modernized quite a bit since Tiger and Xcode 2.0, but the general structure and workflow is the same as in this article, and there’s plenty of docs.

The new SwiftUI stuff is still under heavy development, and starting with the wwdc sessions is probably the best approach.
You don't need 50 unique bits of entropy for every one of those accounts. Memorize 10 25-bit passwords, for each account combine two of them, now you have 100 unique 50-bit passwords and you only need to remember 250 bits (technically 257 because you need to remember which combo goes with which), roughly the entropy of a long sentence. It might not be secure if someone has already hacked enough of your accounts to work out your pattern, but if you have dozens of accounts with different logins simultaneously compromised, that's on you.

I've got maybe 10 accounts that I really care about keeping secure - things like my bank and such where if someone got a hold of my account it would be a tough mess to sort out. Each of them has a unique password. But for most services I have login credentials for, I am not actually giving them any sensitive information. While I now use a password manager for these, before I just had a simple system for altering an otherwise standard set of passwords. It's not too hard to remember redd1t[standardsecurepassword], h@ckernews[standardsecurepassword], p0rnhub[standardsecurepassword], etc but as far as some random attack script is concerned these are all extremely unique and secure. If a human were specifically looking at it they could easily figure out the pattern and make some smart guesses, but even then I already give different emails to different accounts so I can tell who is selling my email addresses to spammers, and I had a few different secure passwords that I'd rotate, so only a tiny fraction would actually be in jeopardy. And again, there's nothing of value to be gained by hacking into these accounts. Overall I had maybe 15 genuinely unique passwords to remember, hardly a herculean feat. Now with the password manager, I still don't use it for my sensitive accounts, so I have like 8 passwords to remember; a relatively minor improvement.
This sounds interesting, can you expand on that a bit please?
Reverse osmosis creates something like 4 to 6 parts waste for every one part of filtered water. It doesn’t seem sustainable or responsible on scale.

I can't disagree with this reply. You've changed the subject, which very much was about definitions of specific words, as held by groups of people.
You could also perhaps look at https://friendly-traceback.github.io/docs/index.html
That's generally my schema for the world, but the article raises a very good and important point, which is that those probabilities are sort of fictions at some level, because they're associated with a model that itself can be, or almost certainly is sometimes, incorrect.

In Bayes land, that's because basically

P(interesting thing|obs) = P(obs|interesting thing) * P(interesting thing | model) * P(model)

... but we forget the last part.

What they're pointing to is the fact we could assign a probability to each of those probabilities we hear, which is more accurate, but we generally don't, and it can have fundamental, wide-ranging implications.

I guess it raises the question of whether it's better to not put numbers on things at all sometimes, or to put numbers on things but pretend that they're infallible.

I don't know -- I guess I thought it made a good point about what to make of probability statements based on made-up models of reality rather than reality itself, about changing targets.
> Type-checking is undecidable.

This is only true if you allow non-total functions in your types, which most dependently-typed languages don't by default (i.e. the condition implied by your soundness condition).

By default in e.g. both Idris and Agda type-checking is decidable.
Keeping a local database file secret is a pretty difficult task. You introduce a wider attack surface vs. a memory-based password.
That definition isn't wrong. However, the "one-of-a-kind digital asset" is the NFT itself—basically a digital autograph—not a copy of the image (or book) the NFT describes, or even a license to such a copy, and certainly not the copyright, unless the copyright holder explicitly agreed to that when minting the NFT. (And you would need some out-of-band proof that the NFT was truly minted by the copyright holder.)
Mahalanobis distance isn't that different from euclidean distance at all as far as effects of dimensions is concerned it just applies a stretch, rotation or more accurately a linear transformation to the space.

In short, much that I love Mahalanobis distances' many properties it does zilch for dimensionality.
system like Linux happens to use in order to find the memory that should be shared.

Right. Is there some other mechanism to coordinate mapping the same memory between processes? That's all I ever asked.

Sure it does interfere. By backing memory needlessly with a persistent file, you're causing disk I/O from the loading and flushing (that can't really be controlled) and potentially bad performance.

That is orthogonal, since once you have the memory mapped into both processes you can use atomics for lock free IPC. That's the whole thing. It doesn't matter what the OS does or doesn't do in the background, atomically reading and writing to memory is unaffected.
I looked at uLisp for writing a flight computer for a small rocket at uni dealing with input sensor data - it was fun but ended up being too large for the chip we were using and I had to go down to C. I'm taking an embedded engineering course with the san diego extension school at the moment for fun so I might try do some of the coursework in uLisp now I have the "freedom" of 1GB of RAM.
It's not just for Arduinos. You can plug in an ESP32 and have a HTTP API to control your lights with any UI you like.
What's the thing you thought Moore was doing ironically that it turned out he was (disturbingly) doing non-ironically? That's the point being made in the parent comment: that Frank Miller is traded in the culture as someone making an ironic commentary on violence and jingoism, but is in fact non-ironically captive to it.

I feel like people generally trade in the idea that Alan Moore is a creative lunatic with crazy ideas; you're getting what it says on the tin with him.
That's not exactly a ringing endorsement of the system If it's relying on pandemic fiscal policy and/or patchworks of different schemes many operating on political whims to negate fundamental dysfunctional behaviour.

The argument for bringing student loans back into line with normal debt is less to do with poverty and more to do with not creating a system that incentivises racking up the price as much as possible and letting debt (and bailouts) patch up the difference when it all falls apart and the product doesn't actually fulfill any of its sales pitch and the price goes up far beyond what any reasonable income expectations can sustain.

If the system is fixed for graduates of Harvard law then I don't think that's skin off anyone elses teeth. Bankruptcy is not exactly an easy route into legal practice so I think you're being a bit fixated on a v small edge case.
I enjoyed working w/ R and R studio to have the code and published pdf always under version control and found that the reproducible research community added readers and feedback and interest from outside my narrowly-defined subject area.

I've seen some accounts marked [banned], can't remember the font color, that started recently. A couple of month ago repeated URLs within a short timeframe get auto-marked as [dupe].

I doubt the algorithmic fine-tuning related to spam will be listed anywhere.
The Three Stooges know they are stupid and are in on the joke and so is the viewer. Most of the top 10 don’t acknowledge it and the viewer is the joke. There’s a big difference.
Harry Potter addressed this when Harry learned that his dad was Snape's childhood bully and cuckold.

Tina Fey also did a good exploration of this idea in 30 Rock S3E5 "Reunion" when Liz Lemon has to face the reality that she wasn't the nerdy victim but the bully. It's a recurring theme in media because no one ever thinks they're the bad guy. It's especially hard to tell when you're young and haven't learned how to be a human yet.

All that said, I don't think Harry was a bully. Malfoy was pretty unambiguously antagonistic. Snape was more antihero, but did make a point to antagonize Harry when he could. Harry mistook the antagonization as evidence that Snape was up to bad dealings because "I'm the good guy and my enemies are bad", but even this gets flipped on its head throughout the series. Malfoy doesn't become humanized until they show his family life in detail and even then he only redeems himself in the home stretch.
a bit meta: it is actually kind of funny how their questions are actually quite fitting into the discussions going here...
Thanks this is an earlier online source. Adams credits Weinberg for the term "egoless programming" but it's clear the 9 commandments are his.

Right, so the observation you'd next make with respect to Miller is that he probably doesn't see Batman as a questionable hero.
Do you think the government & public educational institutions should treat everyone the same regardless of skin color?
That was such a fun nostalgic ride! :)

LOL.
These are Frank Miller comics. The "how would parents react" stuff is right out the window. Gaiman did a whole bunch of stuff with non-hetero sexuality for DC, and he gets TV series to this day.

> The deer samples were anywhere from 14% to 70% COVID19 infected.

...with an overall rate of 36%, which is given in that very article that you linked. It doesn't matter if 70% of the deer at one site were infected, if the average is significantly lower than that.

...which isn't even relevant, because again, you're moving the goalposts, as stated above.

> You're grossly underestimating the amount of COVID19 we have spread to the deer population

I'm not underestimating anything, as one of the researchers said: "there is no documentation of deer transmitting the virus to humans or vice versa"[1] (another article which you have linked but apparently failed to read).

...and, as a previous study found[2], the virus does not spread effectively outdoors.

You're literally fabricating claims from thin air. There's absolutely no evidence whatsoever for effective human-deer or deer-deer COVID transmission.

I vouched this dead comment to just ask something. Are you a retard? Nigeria just bulldozered millions of still valid vaccines into the ground instead of using them to vaccinate their most vulnerable. There are not many in the late age risk groups in Africa. Just 75 millions in total. It is not about vaccine shipments. It is about their logistics and vaccine hesitancy. WHO can do a lot there to help instead of poisoning the common knowledge constantly with the false information.
Modern smartphones perform very admirably in low light, but with some undesirable (IMO) tradeoffs: you get all kinds of weird artifacts from extrapolation, and the overall image frequently looks muddy compared to a low-light capture on a DSLR or mirrorless camera (which tend to look noisy instead). I do, however, regularly make those tradeoffs when I don't want to bug people with a flash or haul a full camera body to a show, though!

I think my use of flash indoors amounts to an aesthetic preference: I like the way skin tones come out on the combination of a ludicrous P&S flash and a "cheap" color stock like Gold 200. The tradeoff is glare and red-eye, both of which can be compensated for during compensation or with editing after the fact.
I agree about your larger relevant point but the following that you say is bit of a red herring

> Euclidean distance measures the distance between two points, while Mahalanobis measures the distance between a distribution (canonically multivariate normal) and a point

In a discussion about metric and metric spaces we dont care about those things, its abstracted out and considered irrelevant. All that matters is that we have a set of 'things' and a distance between pairs of such things that satisfies the properties of being a distance (more precisely, properties of being a metric).

@CrazyStat (I cannot respond to your comment so leaving it here)

I think you overlooked

> things that satisfies the properties of being a distance (more precisely, properties of being a metric).

that I wrote. Of course it has to satisfy the properties of being a metric. The red herring, as far as dimensionality is concerned, is the complaint that Mahalanobis is defined over distributions while Euclidean is over points.

The part about MD that you get absolutely right is its nothing but Euclidean distance in a space that has been transformed by a linear transformation. MD (the version with sqrt applied) and ED aren't that different, especially so in the context of dimensionality

@CrazyStat response to second comment.

It indeed isnt, its just Euclidean distance under linear transformation. I was just quoting you, you had said

> while Mahalanobis measures the distance between a distribution

My point was even it is defined for distributions its not really relevant.

> Mahalanobis "distance" is more closely related to a likelihood function than to a true distance function.

That's a subjective claim, and open to personal interpretation. Mathematically MD is indeed a metric (equivalently a distance) and it does show up in the log likelihood function. Mahalanobis was a statistician, but MD is a bonafide distance in any finite dimensional linear space, with possible extensions to infinite dimensional spaces by way of a positive definite kernel function (or equivalently, the covariance function of a Gaussian process)

The DAO, by how its structured, had to raise the money beforehand, and it did so using etherium in a public manner.

You could go to this page the day of the auction, before it started: https://juicebox.money/#/p/spicedao

From that page, you could tell how much money they had raised in etherium, and you could guess their cap from that.

I also give it better than even odds that the person bidding on behalf of the DAO was in discord, bragging about how much money they had to bid, right up until they won.

If you were interested in this auction selling for a large amount, would you not google a bit and find the spice DAO? Would you, perhaps, join their discord server, get on the auction call, and bid it up a bit?

This seems like something that quite reasonably could happen.

That's what I was suggesting above. One bidder is the DAO guy, the other bidder is someone who knows how much the DAO will bid, since it's public, and so raises it up to near that price for some ulterior motive, whether it's because they get a profit off of a high sell, or because they want the idiots who put money into the DAO to lose it. I have no doubt there are many people in both camps who were aware of the DAO before the auction started.

The implicit assumption however isn't good. Password crackers regularly make use of prior knowledge. A password that consists of a Shakespearian Sonnet for example has very high complexity but makes for a bad password.
That looks like an awesome project but I'm not sure building an LFS system would help developing a system like that. Possibly in understanding and configuring it.

I still recall how to build a Linux system from go. Coding what you're working on up in Python/C would take a large unrelated amount of knowledge.
When you start doing security this way you end up chasing your tail. There are so many ways to mess it up.

There is a really good article that explains a different way of securing these systems though sets of attestations.
