I think the morale of the story is, people fall for slogans and slogans always turn out shit results. Trump's MAGA, well everyone has a different definition of what it would take to "Make America Great Again." Some might even argue, like myself, that if we say that, we should really take off the "Again" part. I am pretty sure most slogans that get chanted, we could come to the same conclusion, slogans are shit. Trying to have a catch phrase that captures a large and complex idea, is a bad idea.

To Diversify. Obama had the whole "Change" thing. Well what exactly we we changing? And a lot of people chanted about change, but I bet different people had a different idea of what that change looked like.
Both predate computers as shorthand spellings of words and phrases. @ for example dates to 1500s Italy. # is often used to denote a number is an ordinal number, or as a substitution for the word pounds (weight, not currency).
The most useful aspect of my to-do list system is that one of my monitors acts as a bit of a dashboard where my events in my calendar and items from my to-do list are written to the current wallpaper using Imagemagick. (Along with a five day weather forecast, my children's school time-tables and a bit of other stuff.)

This way, the info is always visible (when I'm not using that monitor for anything else) so easy to look at at a glance.

One of my to-do lists is simply a text file in Dropbox (so I can also edit it from my phone when not at home). I can also open it fast with a simple key-press on my computer. It tends to be the spot where, as soon as I think of something I have to do, I'll open that file, write a line for it and save it. Then I know it is out of my head and I don't have to worry about trying to remember it any more.

The other to-do list I use is Tracks[0] running in a Docker container. This is used for more organised to-dos and particularly things that I have to do at a future date (currently my must far-flung to-do is for 2026). Things that are to be done down the track I'll also add a show-from date to (either on the day or a little before) so they they're not visible on the main page. I don't need to see them, and doing so only wastes brain cycles when reviewing the current list.

Items in either a particular category, or are visible with a due date get merged in with the calendar for the next seven days and display with their own high-lighting on my wallpaper/dashboard.

Been using this more-or-less for quite a few years now and feel it works quite well. I do have grandiose thoughts of moving to using Taskwarrior as I do have the occasional Trello board or Jira project I wouldn't mind integrating into a holistic miasma, but I would still like a good web interface similar to Tracks to visualise and triage. Could not find something I was comfortable with last I looked.

The actual machines aren’t $60k anymore - I have a portable one, it was $5500. This is a very cool project to bring that down even more.
BuzzfeedNews has surprisingly high journalistic standards, actually.
I still remember my high school physics teacher literally used a scientific American special on quantum mechanics to explore the topic for a month. Really good
from the point of view of a 55-65 year oligarch, they might be doing blunt math on their own expected remaining lifespan and the comfortable lifestyle they can live for the next 30-40 years, vs. projected future dates of absolute collapse of fossil fuel economy. could be a "not my problem..." approach to it.
The popup worked the first time, then the text was gone in successive clicks. Not impressive.
I'd say so. I've had the pleasure of working with some of the researchers on the applied science team, and they had great depth of knowledge and interest in current problems facing the bio space.
>I can't imagine Ford or GM doing it either.

I think this is a great example of how generalizations based on guesses are almost always wrong. If you want to guess and be right, question generalizations.

"GM is recalling 4,296 U.S.-market Chevy Sonic models—all assembled at the automaker’s Orion Township, Michigan plant, for a possible assembly issue that leaves the subcompact lacking either an inner or outer front disc brake pad."

https://www.thecarconnection.com/news/1071185_missing-brake-...

I did not do a comprehensive search, so it would be unwise to assume this only ever happened to GM, too.

I do this to a lesser extent by putting scheduled meetings on my daily work to-do lists. It feels a bit silly sometimes (they’re going to get done whether I want them to or not), but I feel like crossing them off helps with daily momentum.

Thanks for sharing. I think I’ll give this a try.

I use them but they are not the end all be all. You can't boil everything down to a todo list.

In terms of software I use the basic checklist on from iOS's Notes app.

I used to use Wunderlist app but then they got sold off to Microsoft (I think) so I stopped using it and never replaced it with anything fancy.
> For example, defining Democrats by "defund the police", or defining Republicans as the party of "white nationalism".

This is a false equivalence.

On the one hand, the Democratic party has unequivocally rejected “defund the police” on multiple occasions. First in the 2020 primary by electing a presidential candidate who explicitly rejected the slogan, and continues to do so as president; then by excluding it from its platform altogether; and most recently by a nearly unanimous bipartisan vote in the senate to denounce the slogan. So the record is quite clear that Democrats do not in fact stand for “defund the police” beyond a loud minority.

On the other hand, Republican senators have unanimously refused to renew the Voting Rights Act, which
until 2006 enjoyed overwhelming bipartisan support. The VRA is one of the enduring legacies of the civil rights movement and has been a bulwark in protecting Black citizens in particular from disenfranchisement in the southern states. This is evidenced by the fact that, since the VRA has lapsed, virtually all Republican-controlled states have resurrected the same sweeping restrictions on the right to vote that MLK and others marched against. Let’s not even get into the January 6 attack on the capitol which was instigated and carried out by openly white supremacist organizations and which, to this day, the Republican party refuses to denounce, probably because so many of its own leadership is directly implicated.

So, yes, the Republican party is now defined by white nationalism. This is an established fact, and you being uncomfortable with it does not make it less true.
A recovering alcoholic can die from "not drinking" -- delirium tremens, the "shakes" that they get in the morning, are a physical manifestation of the transcriptional changes that have occurred in their brains as a result of being adapted to ethanol. The drugs mentioned all modulate neurotransmitters pharmacologically and are often part of the recovery process (the details are quite complex).
There's nothing that can't be represented by a good text file

even a plain text file has a bunch of metadata that should actually be part of the file object itself and not rely on the storage medium where different systems have a different idea what metadata should be associated with the data.

a plain byte-stream is the simplest, but also the most limited way to represent data.

with text based systems i have the option of either loosing the metadata when i copy the bytestream, or i rely on crude methods like EXIF data on images which i can't change without breaking the ability to easily detect if the image itself is changed or not.
> Sure, but that's only true from the US's perspective

You asked what the US interest was, that is a question about the US perspective.

> From the Russia's perspective, NATO is trying to expand, which would also expand the US's military bases.

So?

Even assuming that's true, trying to expand a defensive alliance isn't an aggressive act under international law.

> And THAT can also be treated as aggression.

That's true in the trivial sense that any nation can treat anything as anything else, ultimately constrained only by the willingness of other parties to use force to constrain that behavior and the willingness of its own subject population to obey the leadership, but there's not even the beginning of an argument from international law that that is valid.

(The usual argument that it is even a cognizable wrong—and which still wouldn't make it actual or imminent aggression—is that it both violates a commitment the US made at the time of German unification not to expand NATO further East and that it would put Russia in an indefensible position and later be used to enable aggression against Russia. The first part of that, though, is just simply false: no such promise was ever made. The second part is speculative and distant.
I discovered that yesterday, when I was looking back at some code that I wrote a number of years ago.

Does anybody else wonder at people who insist on using three names? Some actors do it, too, like Hayley Joel Osment and Brian Taylor Green. It just seems pretentious to me, like somebody insisting on using a title outside of their official duties.

If you don't do online multiplayer, it pretty easy to be happy with Linux. Pick up something DRM-free on GoG or if you're a Steam user, many indie games are native as are Feral AAA and then there's Proton. If it doesn't work natively or through Proton, I just press the refund button on Steam because there's a lot of games out there that do work with my setup that it's not worth losing sleep over a handful of games.

Your memory is correct. Fun fact: many Japanese people celebrate Christmas Eve by eating KFC, and Christmas Day by eating a strawberry cake. My understanding is that decades ago it was promoted as some kind of exotic Western tradition, and it stuck, even if no Western country actually does it.
> I had two points in these posts. One is that none of this pertains to whether or not space is continuous.

To me, “space is continuous” seems like a proposition that must be demonstrated a posteriori and I wouldn’t expect properties of formal systems to serve as evidence for the claim. So I agree.

> The other is that the statement “arithmetic is consistent” is provable in some contexts.

Agreed.

> If the universe “contains” a model of PA then is that model consistent or not? How does one know? (I doubt it’s meaningful to say that the universe contains PA though.)

Okay, yes, how can we interact with or measure PA as implemented by the universe? How do we (or can we) meaningfully talk about the universe implementing PA?

Yes those questions seem interesting to me, but I don’t have anything intelligible to say about them.
Sure. You've probably seen articles based on genomics (eg. rapid sequencing of undiagnosed rare diseases) and brain scanning work (fruit fly) Googlers have contributed to. Google is not as big in those fields in, say, AI, but still present.
This article has little content and is basically getting clicks out of embedding the original thread.

> > Of course they're text. What else could they possibly be?

That would be a sensible response in the world where text and symbols were mutually exclusive, rather than the former being a subset of the latter.
I just disagree on this front, at least as a power user. Mac is able to have window manager shortcuts as well!! The problem is that I want to have copy/paste and I want to have my emacs-style movement keys, but because of Linux DMs choosing to use the same key for both we end up with ctrl-shift-c
Drinking alone may be bad for your health and lead to alcoholism, but you are less likely to kill yourself in traffic, break some law, or damage your reputation and prospects. So it's much better than drinking with the wrong people.

That said, I think the piece overestimates the benefits of alcohol and underestimates the benefits of solitude.
A new line was put in in 2018 for $130mm. "The new transmission line is an addition to the original line which began commercial service in 1974 and had been experiencing reliability issues. The original line will be used a backup, should it be needed."

It’s interesting that in Scandinavia (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland) where everything possible has been done by the government to remove barriers of entry for woman to traditional male jobs, the ratios are still 80% male engineers and 80% female nurses. The only thing that seems to explain that is differences in interests (things vs. people) or social pressure. But the social pressure explanation doesn’t seem to add up given the massive effort by the governments and media to make traditional male jobs interesting to woman. But interestingly enough the majority of students studying chemistry at my University were females. I have no idea why Chemistry was popular among females and not (say) programming.
Quite interesting article on the dynamics of launching social networks.

They basically try to have every user from a specific community start using the service at the same time, creating strong community wide network effects from launch instead of a fragmented user base with the traditional approach where users install at different times from their social peers as they learn about the app through marketing or word of mouth. Making so new users rarely have contacts on new apps whenever they try them out.

It seems the only reason this was targeted at high schoolers is because they focused their community boundaries on each high school, but this approach seems promising for any new social network targettig any community of any age
I think this is a worthwhile perspective. Looking at Pharo 9.0 circa 2021, it’s still got its own classes for Kernel, Scheduler, etc.
I'm sort of surprised that we don't see pressure from the left on it too.

It feels like a lot of "woke" stuff is performative while insubstantial. "We're making an effort to embrace/celebrate you, but nothing that would cost money or really ruffle feathers." At the same time, it tends to create a lot of chest puffing and argument-for-the-sake-of-argument that distracts from things that would do more for the communities you're trying to support.

Yes, it's well-intentioned to let people write "xe/xer" on their account profile. But if you really want to support the transgender community, I suspect making sure your employees have access to the right mental and physical health care to live their best life goes a lot further. But that's gonna cost real money.

Killing off old symbols, whether it's renaming buildings, tearing down statues, or swapping pictures on banknotes, is similar. The costs are trivial, and it buys you some quick feel-good headlines. But a lot of it ends up with tokens and placeholders, recycling the same short lists of luminaries over and over again. If you want to get rid of old white men in those contexts, we need the long game. Let's focus on the educational and economic opportunities to organically grow a diverse pantheon of success. In 50 years, we shouldn't be asking "do we want to name the new elementary school after Andrew Jackson or Barack Obama", but "which of these dozens of storied names, names that we don't even know in 2022 yet, who took advantage of the tools America provided to thrive, do we want to celebrate?"
Volcanic Eruption May Be Biggest Ever Seen from Space
This is getting further off topic from the article but your post reminded me of a random idea I had along the same lines - if one of these billionaires who wants to colonize Mars wants to take a practice run, they should build a city in Antarctica. Not just a little scientific outpost like we have now, but a full small-city-sized settlement away from the shores that people can actually live in year-round enjoyably without being insanely depressed or repressed. Seems like a tall order, but still way simpler than doing the same on Mars.
I agree with you but they had just spent the entire interview talking about that. It was an awkward shoehorn to say the least.
That’s certainly dumb but doesn’t strike me as dumbed down. More like some cynic trying to do a bad parody of Carl Sagan.
This is an amazing piece of work, but it's clearly a labor of love: this isn't going to have any real-world use any time soon.

Where operating systems are headed is more towards security (process isolation, bulletproof input etc), not lightweight GUIs on top of thin kernels like this.

Are there any passion (or other) projects that explore this? I know about Qubes, but that's more like a heavy layer on top of a heavy duty GUI, on top of a Linux kernel.

Something interesting to think about is that the potato has become an essential and staple food in some places like the central mountain highlands of Afghanistan, but it didn't exist there prior to sailing ship contact between the "new world" and "old world".

How exactly the potato made it there from Spanish, Portugeuse and early English expeditions around 1500, and the lag time until it became commonplace there I am not quite clear.
I disagree. Antartica is best suited to simulate the climate, hostile environment and logistical challenges. Especially the unexplored parts.
I think the true gem of this story is that it explains the inconsistent outcome/reason for this behavior, and hence the enduring community debate.

I.e. a fox can be leading you to a high-triangle-density area (aka treasure), or it can simply be leading you away if no treasure is about

And so players no doubt observed both of these outcomes... and hence the debate! And thus the nuances of the behavior somehow make it more magical than "fox always leads to treasure" simplicity.
Nice study, I don't find any mayor fail. (Some articles are very bad.)

As they say, it's not a double-blind randomized controlled trial.

I like more the pilot study because they try to match the age and pupation of the both groups. The problem is that they perhaps involuntary cherry picked the sublets in the experimental group. For example if there are 50 nurses and they want to recruit some of them, they may go first with with the ones that fill all the paperwork so they don't mess with the data for the study, or they skip the one that is drunk every other Monday or the one that is 15 minutes late everyday. Do these involuntary selection affect the result? Perhaps. Did they do this involuntary selection? Perhaps??? How can it be solved...

Make a double-blind randomized controlled trial. They can involuntary cherry pick and this is fixed by the randomization.

Also double-blind, because if you are the subject of the study, you don't want to "fail" and you are more careful. Or not. But just in case double-blind.

In the first study it's not clear how they got the control group. Perhspa go to HR, ask for the complete list, and then choose some randomly.

The second one is more weird, because

> A total of 1,195 health care workers were recruited from 4
major hospitals ... 788 participants received IVERCAR and PPEs, while
the remaining 407 simply adhered to standard PPEs.

It's very unclear how they split them.

Another weird details is that

> Received date: November 09, 2020; Accepted date: November 16, 2020;

It's a very short review period. Perhaps it's common in the area, but in many areas the reviewers take like a month or more. I'm not sure if it's a good or bad journal. It's very difficult to know that if you are not in the area.
Watch the episode. It's pretty dumbed down. Even if you realize that there's only 5 minutes worth of material in a 50 minute show. The filler I quoted is just an example.
> Fun fact: many Japanese people celebrate Christmas Eve by eating KFC, and Christmas Day by eating a strawberry cake. My understanding is that decades ago it was promoted as some kind of exotic Western tradition

Actually, it (well, the first half) was promoted (via actual promotional giveaways of chicken and bottles of wine) by KFC in the 1970s as a new way of celebrating Christmas, not an exotic Western tradition.

They could have opted to bring the audience up to the magazine. But that is The Road Not Taken.

It does seem like it would be much less costly, as measured in hundreds of millions of US dollars, to build a fleet of something equivalent to Russian's heavy nuclear powered icebreaker fleet, than to colonize mars. Just as one essential link in the supply chain and infrastructure if you wanted to sustain a newly founded coastal city somewhere in Antarctica.
