The "feeling of wrongness of the world" can also be rooted in other problems to which they find a reality denying escape mechanism. In Germany, many sovereign citizens (Reichsbürger) have legal or financial problems (taxes and debt), so deciding to be the king or president of your house and garden empire seems like a valid opportunity to deny all those pesky demands.

Now you are shifting the goal posts. From the difference between a sphere and a plane assuming light travels in straight lines to questioning whether light travels in straight lines to begin with.

How do you you know that light travels in straight lines? Maybe it travels in curved lines!

You turn on a light source and look at how the light spreads. Light does not - besides a tiny bit of diffraction - bend into the shadow area behind obstacles.

In fact, that's how mirages form.

You obviously have to perform your experiments under control conditions, so pick a time and place with negligible variation in index of refraction of the atmosphere. Or measure and account for it.

My neighbour has a air heat pump for a ~200m2 house with good insulation, but not a passive house. It's at the edge of his property so I regularly pass it. I'd say you need to be less than a meter away to hear it at all, and even then it sounds like a fan. There's absolutely no vibration or so.

However, the house is new, let's see how it the unit sounds in 5-10 years.

How would that work? Average temperature in the UK is about 15 C. If your house is at 24 C, this would mean you are constantly leaking heat into the ground from the bottom...

I guess one can consider the cube of earth an insulator, it's got a lousy insulation value per meter but it makes it up in thickness.

Not really. The 'leader' of the Netherlands for all political purposes is the Prime Minister, not the king.

You are mixing up leader with head of state. The latter can be a completely meaningless role fulfilled by a paid actor such as in our case, whereas the nominal leader may look like a paid actor, but tends to have actual power and some form of accountability.
For me, socks did the trick. I never had cold feet but always felt colder than colleagues in the office. An additional layer of socks made me feel warm enough to agree with the others on a thermostat setting. Still amazes me how much of an effect this had.
I manage Oracle, MySQL and, Postgresql (and even one SQLite, but "manage" doesn't quite describe the job).

Postgresql and MySQL are about the same complexity to manage: it's easy. Even compiling Postgresql is quick and trivial.

But Postgresql has a lot of features that make it the best database for an enterprise environment, especially FDW. Oracle has HS, but it is slow and not very reliable.

Overall, I'd say Postgresql and MySQL take hours of my time yearly. Oracle takes months of my time each year. SQLite doesn't take any time, but its use is limited.
> Insulation works. It’s also cheap. I don’t understand why people would build new structures without it.

People are a bit sceptical about many insulation forms... plastic-based stuff is either a fire hazard (see Grenfell Tower) or extremely toxic waste (if it has been treated with fire suppressants), asbestos is completely banned for good reasons, and rock/glass wool can also spread nasty ultra-fine dust.

Straight line extrapolations of present trends indefinitely into the future are rarely reliable. Plus the demographics are generally driven more by poverty and access to family planning resources moreso than the religious/demographic warfare angle nationalists tend to lean to.

In other words, if demographic balance was really the concern the most effective proven way to address it would be to invest heavily in education and healthcare in the community with above-average fertility. But instead the proposed policies always insist on more and harsher crackdowns on the minority group, which will be counterproductive at best.

IBM WebSphere Application Server took several minutes to start or stop. Deploying war file took another 10-30 seconds. And you had to restart application server sometimes.

One usually has a prime minister as the head of cabinet and the executive branch via the rest of the ministers. What argument could one make to say a prime minister is not a leader, since the actual argument is missing from your comment?
An easier solution is plasterboard already bonded to PIR or XPS. The XPS is cheaper and I don't think it will make a massive difference depending on all the other challenges like windows and doors. You can simply stick this to existing walls with adhesive foam and then dry-line or skim the boards afterwards.

To do it well, though, you will often need to cut out/remove any laminate flooring so the boards can meet the floor and they won't do anything about leakage between floors, which can be significant.

On the other hand X was created ages ago. Wayland was released in 2008.

> Clients that query for this yet theoretical only color space extension can then ask the server for the color balance of the given screen and fill their buffers accordingly.

Ok, lets say that's how it's done. I set my display to AdobeRGB or BT.2020. My legacy hello world application knows nothing of this just copies its data into the buffer blissfully ignorant of this. If Wayland does nothing more than to display the pixels, the hello world image will look like crap.

Ok, let's say we patch the hello world application, and all the other existing Wayland applications, to respect the output color space. Now I plug in a second monitor which is sRGB, and drag the hello world application over on it. If the hello world application does nothing more, it looks like crap again.

For this to work, it has to be notified it's on a new screen, and fill in new pixel values for the new screen. And every application must handle this or it will look like crap.

Because the benefits of automation are highly capital intensive, concentrating wealth in ways that are bad. Taxing this make the benefits for those with capital less, but it probably still means automation is a great investment.

This tax just prices in the negative externalities of job-loss into automation. Job-loss really is a drag on an economy (you need consumers to keep an economy going). Moreover job-loss causes poverty, and poverty is bad in and of itself. UBI should make poverty less bad. Funding that partially by automation makes sense if that automation is partially the cause of the poverty (through job loss).
The timeout can’t realistically be set very short, since it needs to allow for a normal reboot of a server. Servers are, in my experience, notoriously slow to reboot. Therefore, a typical network hiccup is assumed to be shorter than that. The default timeout value of 5 minutes reflects this.

Also, you could add the Mandos server status to your alerting system, and if anything goes wrong with your network and the Mandos server times out for a client, you can be alerted to this fact, so you can fix it before the next time that client happens to reboot.

> consider how you'd answer the FAQ "So I should set my timeouts super low for better security?"

Fair; the text could be clearer about this.

So who are those people who are only cautious about the COVID-19 vaccine? How should we call them? I am personally cautious of COVID-19 vaccines because of quick time of development, and financial incentives everywhere, but most importantly, because it would poke my immune system which usually results in flare-ups in my case, and I would like to avoid flare-ups. Plus, I very rarely go outside, so I do not pose a risk to anyone, nor am I able to catch it from anyone. That said, I have been quarantined with a COVID-19 positive person for 2 weeks or so. He was asymptomatic, and I had no symptoms at all either, although no clue if I ever got it from him. I am also in a more or less safe age group. Those are my reasons for passing. Sounds fair, or am I a conspiracy theorist? I do not mind vaccines. I got a hepatitis B vaccine a couple of years ago, twice, and I would not mind getting it again if I have to. I got all the other mandatory vaccines, too, when I was a kid. I do not think that it was a mistake.

The rounding can depend 'where' (e.g. the width of the register) the float is stored in the CPU ('destination' in IEEE 754 speak). So, if you compare the result stored in two different 'destinations' (because one has been computed in another register or at a GPU or ....), they can differ even in the same program with the same optimizations.

See for example:

int main() {
double q;

q = 3.0/7.0;
if (q == 3.0/7.0) printf("Equal\n");
else printf("Not Equal\n");
return 0;
}

On an extended-based system, even though the expression 3.0/7.0 has
type double, the quotient will be computed in a register in extended
double format, and thus in the default mode, it will be rounded to
extended double precision. When the resulting value is assigned to the
variable q, however, it may then be stored in memory, and since q is
declared double, the value will be rounded to double precision. In the
next line, the expression 3.0/7.0 may again be evaluated in extended
precision yielding a result that differs from the double precision
value stored in q, causing the program to print "Not Equal". Of course,
other outcomes are possible, too: the compiler could decide to store
and thus round the value of the expression 3.0/7.0 in the second line
before comparing it with q, or it could keep q in a register in
extended precision without storing it. An optimizing compiler might
evaluate the expression 3.0/7.0 at compile time, perhaps in double
precision or perhaps in extended double precision. (With one x86
compiler, the program prints "Equal" when compiled with optimization
and "Not Equal" when compiled for debugging.) Finally, some compilers
for extended-based systems automatically change the rounding precision
mode to cause operations producing results in registers to round those
results to single or double precision, albeit possibly with a wider
range. Thus, on these systems, we can't predict the behavior of the
program simply by reading its source code and applying a basic
understanding of IEEE 754 arithmetic.

The relevant conclusion:

Neither can we accuse the hardware or the compiler of failing to
provide an IEEE 754 compliant environment; the hardware has delivered a correctly rounded result to
each destination, as it is required to do, and the compiler has
assigned some intermediate results to destinations that are beyond the
user's control, as it is allowed to do.

That's what norms are for.

If minimal thermal requirements are written in the law, even the cheapest builder must build a highly insulated home. In my country, it's mandatory to have well insulated home, to prove (with tests) that you respect the norms, and it's also mandatory to have renewable heat source (mainly heat pumps). Sure, it costs a little more, but with the rise of real estate prices, it's still way cheaper to build well insulated houses.

The building cost since those new norms increased about maybe dozens of thousands euros. It's not even a lot given the exceptional thermal comfort you get from your money.

Sometimes this is down to "micro" draughts rather than the temperature. Currently, I am sitting in about 19 degrees C inside and that should be plenty warm but in my T-shirt, I can feel very low level cold draughts caused by windows, small gaps etc. and some people are definitely more sensitive to these.

As others have said though, you can hopefully find a suitable temperature that both of you accept and it won't cost as much to keep it there.

I followed your link, but am confused and/or doubtful:

how do you replace 150mm of rockwool with 20mm of anything other than a good vacuum? It says that they are 'very low internal pressure' - but if it contains any kind of gas (which i presume it must do - air if nothing else) then the conductivity does not depend on pressure until the mean-free-path has increased to be > the width of the container.

Is this product real? What is it about the physics that I am not understanding?

And how do you maintain the 'very low internal pressure' over the decades that you will need it for?

Thanks.

Systemd service sandboxing and security hardening (2020)
I have so many fond memories of running Genecyst on college machines when I should have been working. At the time it felt like a super power running software that emulated an entire games console on a computer that could barely run Windows 95. And those games ran well too. I don't recall seeing any slowdown on Sonic The Hedgehog.

It was actually Genecyst that lead me to Windows software development (before then I was mainly focused on older micro computers, DOS and a little bit of web development if I was bored). But I wanted a way to hide my gaming activities on college machines so wrote some Windows software to hide Genecyst from the task bare, "boss screens" and such like. This lead me onto Win32 APIs and a whole other rabbit hole of fun and nefarious projects that would have likely lead to a criminal record if it happened today. But it was a great learning experience and lead to the reputable career I have today.
I think the assumption is that with regulations, the government can force builders and buyers to accept the higher standards and the associated higher cost in return for the common-good.

The only problems that I see are:

1. Capitalization and punctuation.

2. Doesn't know what emacs is, so it got that wrong. A user-installed dictionary might help here.

3. "outputs" came out as "output". I just tried a few more times, and I got the same results. I suspect that like "emacs", the word "outputs" is not in the dictionary.
Note that UBI should not be 'paying people not to work'. It is paying people regardless of whether they work. The key to UBI being succesful (imho) is that everyone gets it and everyone gets the same amount (maybe excepting people under 18?). This makes the system so much simpler to administer.

It also prevents weird traps where doing something unintentionally costs you your UBI. (e.g. people who start working and earn too much to qualify for food-stamps / benefits / some other program, thus having them end up with less money each month).

That was Eratosthenes of Cyrene:

The simplified method works by considering two cities along the same meridian and measuring both the distance between them and the difference in angles of the shadows cast by the sun on a vertical rod (a gnomon) in each city at noon on the summer solstice. The two cities used were Alexandria and Syene (modern Aswan), and the distance between the cities was measured by professional bematists.[16] A geometric calculation reveals that the circumference of the Earth is the distance between the two cities divided by the difference in shadow angles expressed as a fraction of one turn.
