i don't think that's an unfair comparison, that is in line with similar tests i have performed for random write workloads on lsm trees and b trees that don't fit in ram, including cost of compaction. https://youtu.be/jwq_0mPNnN8?t=3730 links to a section of a talk i did which explains my benchmarks. it also includes some pretty neat visualizations of the write patterns of the two data structures that may help people understand why there is such a big difference in write throughput. my benchmarks were done on spinning disk, on ssds i'd expect lsm trees to only have around 10x higher write throughput for the same benchmark.
The trick in the videos is to use a narrow vessel. I suspect that if they used a bigger pot or, say, a kettle it would not be as impressive. In the second video it's a gas stove from Thermador (you can tell by the star-shaped burner) witch is usually 5K watt burners in the front. I don't know what induction stove they have but seeing that they have multiple "burners" that come together to 10-11K watt max, I'd say it's 3K watt tops. The gas stove is losing way more than 50% heat to be almost twice slower, which is not a surprise since the pot is smaller than the burner.
> Like all their children, the 2-year-old boy was treasured by his people. To honor him, they buried him underneath a rock shelter with great care and love, sprinkling his body with red ochre. Everyone in the community contributed to the toolkit that he would take with him into the afterlife: Some placed carefully flaked finished tools—projectile points, knives, and scrapers for hides—others left the cores that he would need to make new ones. His parents placed carved elk bone rods into the grave to mark his connection to their ancestors. This burial site was honored by their descendants for generations, who paid their respects to the boy every time they passed it.

To me it seems like human sacrifice. My guess is that without modern medical care, 2 year olds dying was not uncommon. The fact that his body underwent such elaborate burial routines, and he was buried with a lot of artifacts, and that his burial site was venerated, seems more likely with human sacrifice than if he had just died of natural causes.

Those aren't new things though, and it's not the crux of what the X wing was. The rigid rotor, the pusher propeller, had all been done already in the 1967 AH-56.The X wing has more in common with the F-35B than the S-97 has in common with the X wing. The S-97 is attempting to succeed where the AH-56 failed; it's supposed to do helicopter things with a helicopter frame and fulfill a helicopter role, but maybe have a little more speed and altitude capability. The F-35B is attempting to succeed where the X wing failed; it's supposed to do jet plane things with a jet plane frame and fulfill a jet plane role, but be able to do so in places and environments where a full sized runway doesn't fit.

To be fair, you can interpret “cultural legacy” as “celebrating the same holidays” or as “having similar morals even if they are divorced from religious faith”.
I’m not talking out of my ass here, it’s based on my experience being a stay at home dad for the past few years, we started seeing the same people over and over as we kept to a routine. I guess your mileage has varied from mine, though.

I would love to learn from database experts here:

Why some databases choose to use segment files as persistence and why some other databases choose to use key-value as persistence?

From my perspective, using key-value is very convenient because you can then outsource persistence to a distributed, fault tolerant, key-value storage.

Again - unpopular opinion - but I've noticed men tend think of a potential wife's wealth or earning potential much less than vice a versa.

Even when choosing a career, men seem to place a lot of importance on compensation, while women seem to place just as much, if not more, importance on other non-financial factors too.

I am also an example. I make much more than my wife, and it made zero impact on my decision to date and marry her.

In general I rarely see couples where the wife earns significantly more than the husband. Generally the husband makes more, they both make about even, or the wife might make slightly more.
Anecdotally, Jordan Peterson didn't fix my mental health, but I had a good dad and a sense of direction growing up. He's seriously helped my friends who have absent or abusive fathers. Teaching men about their duties in society and to themselves is crucial.
I think you're maybe misunderstanding something about "toxic masculinity" here. Because what you're describing is exactly what I'd call a perfect example of toxic masculinity.

The conceptualization that men always want sex is false, but like it is a stereotype that exists. That someone used that stereotype about masculinity to try and justify assault (to you, perhaps to themselves also?) is what makes such stereotypes toxic. No one in a situation needs to be doing a masculinity for toxic masculinity to be present.

> who was being masculine?

I think it becomes clear very quickly that this is not really the question you want to be asking here. The implication here is that actually, it was the person who was assaulting you who was being masculine when they assaulted you, because they violated your consent. That's not a trait we should be associating with masculinity either (and so, to be clear, my answer to this question is something like "neither" or, "its unspecified", as masculinity shouldn't be a thing we choose to associate with sexual assault).

> "my bank called and told me my app was broken and that I needed to redownload it..."

This problem isn't solved by the centralized App Store--even if it were good at blocking any app with functionality that would let it be used as a scam (which it is not)--as it is just as if not even easier to tell the person "your app is broken and you will need to use our website" and then give them the wrong URL.

Like, I don't understand what you are trying to accomplish here: you think your elderly parents are going to go through a number of steps to install software via a different process but won't go to a website?

Not completely different, the messianic morals are embedded in the ceremony by design: Sharing, caring, family, food, etc. These aren't incidental, they're the whole point. Sure the specific historical person, i.e. the messiah, blurs over time, as probably do the ceremonial activities, but surely they retain some of the original moral ideals.

Genuinely asking, roughly how old are you? I'm in my early-mid twenties and of the ~100 people I keep in touch with my age range from high school, there has been one child born (by accident if the rumors are true) and zero marriages. Of the dozen or so people I keep in regular contact with I've gathered that this is not for lack of trying, either. Obviously there is bias here as this is all anecdotal, but I'm very curious as to how unique this situation is.

Who decided that being the lone wolf uber stoic was a bad thing in the first place and therefore deserves the toxic appellation?

I’m sure in certain environments such an approach to life is the optimal strategy.

Similarly with “men need to share emotions” but perfectly legitimate emotions associated with masculinity (like anger) are toxic.

This reply is overly harsh. He is not boasting, and the tone of your reply is warranted for someone who is boasting. On the contrary, he is doing the opposite and saying that he feels like a loser, to put it bluntly. He seems very distressed, sad and defeated.
> I'm wildly uncomfortable with normalising the idea (that is far too normal already) that you owe your parents a thing for raising you.

Wow. This is wild to me. My grandfather was an orphan, most likely because his parents weren't married(if he were alive today, he'd be well over 100).

I am absolutely grateful that my parents have done their best to raise me to be the intelligent, caring person I am, and to take care not to perpetuate the misdeeds of their parents(which, being Boomers, were numerous). As both someone who suffers from depression and identifies as a materialist, it is probably the single thing I am most grateful for, and certainly the most profound intangible in my life. The feeling that I owe them is honestly one of the fundamental things that keeps me going.

If your parents are decent to you and showed care with how you were raised I absolutely think that you owe them. Having a functional, caring family is one of the greatest privileges one can have in life. You know who I don't owe anything too? The people who put my grandfather up for adoption.

Reset codes, as in some entities will provide you with a page/image/etc. with ~10 codes on it when you enable 2FA, which can each be used once in place of the code generated by the 2FA token, letting you get into the account to, e.g. set up a new 2FA token/method.

As far as I can tell there really isn't anything like Intellij. What parts of Intellij are you desiring for DrRacket to handle? I guess it would be the project explorer, the git integration, the import linker, etc. I don't know much about Intellij because it is software that I would have to rent instead of own. Now, I am getting an urge to learn Intellij's plug-in interface to see if that is possible (because there are other Schemes I'd like tooling for as well and if that IDE could bring it then great).

If you aren't afraid of Emacs then give racket-mode a try. If you like VSCode there is some racket support extensions available. I have used both and if you can't stand Emacs the VSCode route is pretty good (just use VSCode extensions to do stuff). However, my private small form factor computer can't handle VSCode too well so it is Emacs or DrRacket (now I have a reason to how well it handles Intellij).

I'd agree that meaning/purpose is part of this puzzle, but there are still children needing a provider and partners who either expect a fulltime breadwinner or find some other balance.

My guess is the perceived opportunity of improving your lot in life has declined and males, on the whole, have struggled with motivation as a result. I suspect housing affordability is part of that.

To hold a soldier/operator criminally responsible for deploying an autonomous weapon that commits war crimes, prosecutors would need to prove both actus reus and mens rea, that is, a guilty act and a guilty mind.

This would be difficult as a matter of law, and possibly unjust as a matter of morality, given that autonomous weapons are inherently unpredictable.

The distance separating the soldier from the independent decisions made by autonomous weapons in rapidly evolving environments may be simply too great.

Thanks for the details. I didn't know Ubuntu was restricting ptrace by default now. Now I need to figure out how to do that on my Debian system -- it definitely allows me to gdb attach to an unrelated process presently.

Even that protection doesn't seem to make it safe to run untrusted programs under the same UID, though? If nothing else, there's always the classic "modify user's rc files to put my malicious program first in $PATH." Similarly you could modify them to increase the core file size rlimit, then send SIGSEGV to the process later and collect the core file.

I subscribed to Forbes for a few years in the 1980s. Not because it had any decent journalism as far as I could tell but because it just seemed so deranged it was fun to read. The regular columnists were mostly (but not all) a collection of lazy Ayn Rand acolytes (I mean Rand acolytes are nuts, but the ones in Forbes back then didn't even try), a few old fashion racists (Hanke, Brimelow), and the odd thinker with an opinion piece on a topic I'd already read to death somewhere else. The "articles" were mostly reflexive genuflection to people who'd somehow acquired wealth. It's as if the entire operation consisted of people who were simply phoning it in.

It astonished me that when they switched to being a blog site it actually appeared that standards had fallen.

BTW I dumped Forbes and kept the UK magazine The Spectator. It was and is full of lazy rightwing rubbish too (though of a different strain) but has much more variety (had personal ads for a while) and the level of writing itself was generally quite high, in particular while Boris Johnson was editor (I know, that seems hard to believe).

Unfortunately these days I struggle to find a right wing, much less left wing, journal-of-rants that's worth bothering to read.

Funny enough, my wife and I are looking to downsize so we can buy a second house in another part of the US because of exactly this. Basically one small house on the coast, one small house in the mountains. When things get too mundane and boring in one place we hop the the other. This only works if you have a remote job in the tech sector, and a wife who works contract jobs. I'm hoping this breaks the "box" syndrome for me even just a little.

I do plan to add some meditation practice after reading this article, its been on my "to do" list for a while.

Nobody is saying the government made your phone. The point is that those private companies depended on a business environment stabilized by the government, workers educated by the government, research funded by the government, business opportunities created or protected by the government (e.g. patents), etc. I realize there’s a lot of libertarian propaganda in certain circles but it’s not like the last century’s guiding policies weren’t regularly recognized & discussed.

I wasn’t attempting to criticise China’s treatment of minority groups. Perhaps ironically, while I find their particular methods of propaganda and pearl clutching to be painfully obnoxious, I respect their treatment of the Uighurs and I can understand why they are working so hard to preserve their cultural and racial homogeneity.

If anything my remarks were more a criticism of the US, which is apparently willing to sacrifice itself on the altar of diversity and political correctness. My own view is that racial and ethnic groups (and genders, to a lesser extent) differ inter se in their average member’s cognitive capabilities and proclivities. China seems to accept that, while America’s obsession for 3 decades has been to prove that such racial determinism isn’t true. The legacy of that attempted proof is failure and a declining superpower.

From the article, the posted weight limit was 26 tons. A quick google search ("bus weight") shows that buses can easily exceed that limit and the bus on the bridge was a "double" bus.

Maybe the bus wasn't supposed to cross that bridge?
Perhaps it had been in a slow collapse for awhile and the 'point load' of the heavy bus in that moment caught it just right. There are pictures from several years ago of major structural crossmembers completely rusted through to the point they weren't even attached;

Tinder isn't for relationships, it's a disgusting people market for hook ups. Every profile is basically an ad for a person.

Online dating is toxic, most people I know that used it years ago are still there safe for few unicorns. How could it possibly be? Weren't they lookimg for someone?

Maybe because it distorts relationships and people as commodities thus making meaningful relationships harder to initiate, maintain and commit.
I could imagine that having periodically changing loads like rush hour traffic could cause a critical failure state. The slow flexing between day and night eventually causing something to deform/crack/shift to the point that the next big traffic load causes a collapse.

If prior NTSB reports are any predictor, we'll eventually learn all about the confluence of things that led to the collapse.

> Theory dictates that with stronger magnets, the reactor can be scaled down (with the square/cube, can't remember exactly), and thus cost and time to develop

Here's the quick summary:

B: magnetic field strength

R: length scale

Fusion rate ∝ (plasma pressure)^2 ∝ B^4

Energy gain (Q) ∝ R^1.3 B^3

Power density ∝ R B^4

Cost ∝ R^3

So, say for example you're targeting a fixed Q. Doubling the magnetic field strength results in R1 = R0 / 2^(3/1.3) = 0.2 R0. And 0.2 R0 translates to 1/(0.2)^3 = 0.008 = 0.8% the cost.

The scaling is absolutely insane, and a stronger magnetic field has other advantages (such as making plasma instability far less of a concern), though structural loads can be an issue (that, at least is a relatively straightforward engineering problem).

If you take 12T for ITER and 20T for SPARC, that's not actually 2x, it's 1.67, which translates to 30% the size and 3% the cost (and time). It should also be noted that this is just rough, order-of magnitude estimation, but it should be broadly accurate.

Yes, what you get out depends on what you put in. But it also depends on luck, a million factors out of your control. And on not putting so much pressure on yourself.
