> Unfortunately it seems like no one has been willing to teach the author what mathematics is. Attempting to learn mathematics as some sort of pattern matching, which is where having large sets of questions and answers to study is useful, does not work; it isn't mathematics.

That is exactly how I got through university math so I think you are wrong. I worked on what felt like millions of problems the teachers gave out and then on some more I found in books. Then I looked on the answers and tried to figure out what my errors were. Then I worked on more problems. What didn't work for me was looking at lecturers writing out proofs for various theorems on the blackboard. I had almost zero use for that.
You've kind of flipped the script here. First you argue everyone's discounting the author. But then you state "as an allegory of", which would fundamentally be about authorial intent. Instead such would have to be stated as: "The killing of the pig can be read through the lens of..." The second prospect is distinct in that it recognizes that the subjectivity of the reader must be foregrounded by the very definition of experience. The core anxiety here is one of fear in relation to notions of the possibility (or not) of communication. If I cannot ensure meaning of myself with regards to the perceptions of others, then can I control myself, seeing as how there are a multiplicity of myselves in each human perception? What does this mean when the author has evaporated? Was there ever a single Homer? Who wrote Little Red Riding Hood? What about when the author contradicts themselves in regards to intent? Ray Bradbury gave opposing 'meanings' for Fahrenheit 451 over the course of his lifetime; one of them had to be incorrect; how does this bode for authorial intention? Absent of such knowledge does the text become meaningless? No, because it always depended on the subjectivity of the experiencer. Which is why randomized strokes of paint (or stars in the sky) can be experienced as meaningful.
this is an exceptionally bad take imo and seems extremely degrading towards women
Yes, I never use my official title in the company emails. There were some funny moments in the past when some people thought someone reporting to me was my boss, but it was always funny. These days people in my team have more impressive titles than me, I am totally fine with that.
I agree with the kernel hardening flags, unfortunately it seems Android (not being a proper GNU/Linux) is the one doing the best at kernel hardening out of the box.
Nice use of words specifying your actions regarding the high court instead of the judges in question, who were specifically being referred to.

You do realize that just because other people act like jerks, it does not give you license to do the same, right? I don’t know why you believe what you are doing is going to have a positive outcome for anyone, including yourself, but I think you have some serious growing up to do.

I’m sorry you had to go through what you did, I really am. It doesn’t sound like a positive experience and I have my own chronic health issues that have been a battle and I can understand being angry.

I just don’t believe it is yours or anyone’s place to take matters into their own hands, nor do I think their actions justify yours. In this situation, you all suck.
“ It's very hard to convince somebody of a thing when financial gains depend on them believing in it.” - the summary of why there’s such a big divide with web3 between those who have money in the game, and those who do not.

It also explains the most common response I hear from those invested in web3: “You don’t understand and it’s not something that can be explained. You need to be a part of it to grasp it.”

Transitioning from months of underutilization to suddenly being expected to actually work at my 100% capacity for 8 hour days. The muscle that allows me to do it doesn't come back over night, it starts as an absolute fight where the only option is to go to a public place and sit myself down and say no bathroom breaks until 1 hour worth of work is done..

And on and on, slowly building up. Until finally my normal 100% is just an effortless thing I do as a biproduct of sitting down and starting.

Now in the office I did have of course 3 or 4 month periods in a go where the only thing I had to do was browse reddit and Slickdeals.net... when work came back to me it was easier because of the psychological fear and pressure of just "what if someone sees me?"
Many thanks! Proofs are something I've always struggled with, having never been taught any methodology. I've added this to my reading list.
There are amusical people in this world for whom making music (ie keeping pitch, keeping rhythm) is difficult in such a basic way that it’s hard to explain to others who just “get it.” Sort of being dyslexic I suppose. I can tell you from personal experience 2-3 years was not enough for me me on the violin but maybe 4 would have been. Oh well maybe it’s the “diligence” I didn’t have enough of. Anyway- I only disagree with you in the absolutes… generally your formula holds.
What do you mean by "actual stalking report"?

ID verification is the way to go IMO. So much stalking isn't like in movies, it's just seemingly normal people seeing how far they can push things and get away with it. And potentially some way to get people to register what it's being used for, as well as a way to register it missing. That would be very useful in a stalking case to cross-reference with how a the alledged stalker claims the tracker ended up in someone's bag/car/etc and could potentially be the break through that gets the conviction
This Danish study (https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.12.27.21268278v...) of Omicron household secondary attack rates found a 52% reduction in susceptibility for boosted individuals and a 51% reduction in transmissibility from boosted individuals.

In other words, if both the infected person and the household member were boosted, the likelihood of a household member becoming infected was reduced by 74% compared to if both were unvaccinated. (This number is for Omicron, for Delta the reduction is even higher at 92%.)

In other words, while you are technically correct that the vaccines do not completely prevent infection or transmission, they do, in fact, significantly reduce the likelihood.
The idea that Spotify is "platforming" Rogan is laughable. They paid him millions of dollars to come to their platform. Spotify is not bringing an audience to Rogan, Rogan is bringing an audience to Spotify.
I'll trust your numbers more than mine.

But, for all intents and purposes, this is impossibly fast ;-)

Unless you are on the Bistromath, that is.
You can drive a meeting among others who are more knowledgeable in certain fields. Leading meetings is a different, and in my experience, more unique, skill from expertise in a specific IT field; leadership is harder to replace than domain specific knowledge.
No I haven't but I've thought of doing so and/or making a freemium product out of it. Thanks for the encouragement, that inspires me to think about it more.

I'm 65, and this current system is the result of about 4.5 decades of trying to figure out a system that would work for me, including trying various commercial task lists and reminder systems.

Way back when I was working through a few different degrees at a few different universities, I learned the "trick" to getting an "A" in all the literary analysis assignments was to:

- Assume the author didn't just mean what they wrote (and suppress any possible evidence to the contrary such as interviews where the author specifically stated that they meant simply what they wrote)

- Impose a binary oppositional worldview onto the text to "find meaning". I used to flip a coin or roll a dice to select "communism vs. capitalism", "fascism vs freedom", "gender politics", "racial politics", etc. It didn't matter what it was, you simply had to pick one. In advanced classes you pick two or more. So an analysis might be themed around "gender politics as viewed by the anti-fascist communist author".

- Direct the analysis to favor the more leftist viewpoint(s) unless it was specifically understood that the author favored the alternative.

- Evidence to support your views are generally direct quotes from the text, liberally interpreted to fit the assumed analysis.

then

Mechanically create paper, receive "A" grade, be asked to sit in the advanced analysis, and gender studies lit classes the next semesters.
Nice to know :-)

Advice for beginner embedded systems engineer
I've been a backend software engineer my entire career. Given the companies I used to work for, I never had the time to fully embrace my interest/passion for embedded devices. I've played around with various discovery boards, but that's about it.

I finally feel like I have the time to deep dive. I have a couple of ideas of what I'd like to do, but not many thoughts on how to get started.

Can someone experienced in designing embedded devices give some guidance/advice? Are there books/online courses you'd recommend? Is it even feasible for a hobbyist like me to design and create something from scratch? I'd really love to carry this thing from beginning to end (designing schematics, PCBs, etc etc), without using discovery boards. Any help is much appreciated!
Hiring consultants has really gone into the toilet. Senior Data Engineers who don't know what upsert is. Senior Developers who can't answer simple questions about a stack they have "3 years experience" in. Senior AWS Architects who stumble on simple architecture questions and insist on switching an 80K qps stack to API Gateway.

I presume because the real seniors these consulting firms depended on are working for FANNG/MAMMA?

Of course all of these firms want 2 weeks of "exploration" up front...

I didn't know there was a v2 of alttpo going on! I will have to give it a look, I wasn't a fan of v1 because of it being tied to an emulator.
from the coursepage

>Brief Course Description: More abstract than calculus, this course aims to develop basic algebraic tools for work with problems involving many variables. Starting from systems of linear equations and vectors in 2-space and 3-space, this course develops ideas about length, angles and resolving a general vector into useful components, identifying features of linear systems or processes in order to choose a basis that is well-adapted to studying a particular phenomenon and move between different points of view to reveal the essential underlying structure. Companion course to 201 (Multivariable Calculus). Discusses matrices and linear transformations, linear independence and dimension, bases and coordinates, determinants, orthogonal projection, least squares, eigenvalues and their applications to quadratic forms and dynamical systems.

Definitely NOT a math class
Haha okay well I guess if you're just going to ignore facts and substitute it with your own, have at it.

But either way, they didn't say "Democrat" they said "left".
> "nobody has a clue what they're doing"-syndrome

The more advanced you are in your career, the more your job should be to solve novel problems. Things you, at least, haven't solved before. Preferably things nobody has solved before.

If all you're doing is work you already know how to do, you should find a more interesting job imo.
tl;dr the baby was fine.
Not too surprising. How much re-analysis of the same books over and over again can one do? Of course people will look for more and more extreme interpretations.

> unless you are arguing that the cost of the service has inflated more greatly than the income of its users.

It's not required that the service itself has an inflated price. People have some amount of spending money. If inflation is causing other things to cost more, there will be less spending money left over.

> Can you elaborate on why you think it is due to inflation, rather than what the article cited?

I'm not the one you're replying to, but I know my fuel and food bill has gone up dramatically. I've canceled two, rarely used, streaming services, as a result.
I have struggled with this too.

A couple things that have worked for me:

1. Early morning walk after the sun’s up.

2. Set just one task, no matter how small, that you can get done in the day. Even if it’s just writing a few lines of code or filling out the weekly status update types of paperwork.

3. Eat healthy. Different diets or methods work for different people but generally I would say eat mostly meat, fruit, veggies, and nuts like almonds or cashews. Don’t eat anything, especially junk food, after you finish your dinner. For me that’s about 6:30 PM on most days. No drugs or alcohol period. You don’t want to be voluntarily altering your body chemistry when you’re already struggling.

4. Given your mention of medications and psychiatry, I would guess mental health is a factor. Check out EMDR. For me it was healing on a miraculous level. YMMV.

5. In your spare time, don’t pressure yourself to do things you think you should do. Just do what you enjoy unless it’s an unhealthy behavior like drinking to excess.

6. Cleaning the house and doing daily chores like folding laundry and washing dishes are a good way to accomplish something and seeing the chore done is very rewarding considering the ordinariness of the task.

I am very well acquainted with the mental health struggle. Not saying any of these are a panacea but they can be helpful.
I famously only play video games that increase GDP.
You are right, formally lz4 is significantly faster than SSD, see https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/mzun99/new_zram_tun... .

However, I did benchmark using stress-ng my laptop with Samsung 980 PRO SSD and when the stressors had to use swap, using zram or zswap was like 5%-15% slower than the real swap according to bogo ops counters that the tool reported. And the more CPU was taxed during the tests, the slower zram became while CPU utilization has not affected the real swap.
That is one use for monitoring, with the related use of doing so to your own home, that I think is really worth doing. Especially, if you live in the northland where freezing is a problem.

I often wonder about these services and if we can wrap them in enough privacy to make them feel safe to advanced users?
point 3 is exactly what I'm saying
DSP is excellent. I beat it before Factorio, and liked it a lot more, but I then went back to Factorio to scratch the same itch and after beating it think it's a bit better. The modding support and multiplayer, especially,

DSP is prettier, grander in scale, and also has a lot of niceties that come with being part of the second generation of the genre. Absolutely worth playing if you enjoy Factorio.

Belta-lowda! Belta-lowda! Belta-lowda!
On the one hand, yeah, that's a bit much to insist on that being the whole thing.

On the other hand, good (or even just competent) authors usually put things in the book for a reason, usually for a narrative, character development, or thematic/message reason.

Everything in a book was put there on purpose. In most books that aren't terrible, there's some reason the author chose one thing over another. The pig may be there because the author felt a need to explain how the kids could eat and survive, so that's one purpose—but there were other ways to do that. It's entirely reasonable to wonder why a pig and why is the scene exactly that way when both things could have been totally different.

It's difficult to write well, yourself, without really embracing the idea that a book is crafted and the parts are there on purpose and for a reason. Some choices may genuinely end up being arbitrary, even in a very good book, but lots of them will not be.
They're not brittle when running -- they're brittle if/when there's a failure.

Bringing a Redis cluster back up is either "start each node in exactly the right order", "wait 10+ minutes", or "establish quorum yourself". Ten minutes can be a really long time in production.
I own a copy of Factorio, yet I never play it. Whenever I think about playing Factorio, I think what I really want to do is emulate biology, not industrial machinery. I want a game that lets me alter genomes slightly and try out several branches to see which ones are better for the world I'm trying to create. I want to fast forward through time so that evolution can run its course, then if I don't like the outcome, I want to be able to go back and try something else. I also want to be able to share evolutionary steps as code (in text form, not graphical!) with a community. The steps should be expressed in a functional language. Effectively, I want my quasi-biological world to take on a life of its own and I want to be able to run reversible experiments on both my worlds and other people's worlds.

That's probably too much to ask. :-)
It's amusing to see the responses to this about not reading the parent comment when, as far as I can tell, the parent comment may not have read the article. Literary review magazines publish short form literature, not literary criticism.
Almost no definition of "the left" includes all America Democrat party members, much less a majority of them.
Wow, thank you so much for writing out and sharing your story.

>I would be curious to hear more about how this experience affected that for the author.

I think you and I have a lot of similarities on this regard. I also learned later in my career that I don't have to be a technical wizard to provide a lot of value to teams and projects. My biggest strengths are being an effective communicator and being able to come up with sustainable solutions that solve the problem at hand while also being maintainable in the long run. When it comes to things like coding itself, I'm mediocre.
Miami became the most important city in America
Significantly greater in the period covered by that document (2020 under Pandemic lockdown) but probably much closer to equal now with people back at work. But sure, there will certainly be less usage in summer than now.

Prices though remain high and are likely to remain high for the foreseeable. Just as natural gas prices effectively set the electricity price even when a minority of electricity comes from gas global LNG prices effectively set the price of natural gas even in a country like the UK that has considerable local resources.

Today the wind picked back up and prices stayed slightly under £200 per MWh, but remember that's not actually low, it just seems low compared to recent extraordinary heights. In February 2012 £49.10 was the average price of day ahead baseload electricity by February 2015 it is £42.86, and by February 2021 it was £32.04. Despite the windy weather this month it may be north of £200 for February 2022.
Some people would say that investing their money in web3 is possible only if those people believe in it. This is a substantial difference if it was just their salaries hanging there.

I suspect it will go the way of "Bluetooth 3".
IIRC Tobacco has MAOI-inhibitors that help amplify the addictive/pleasurable properties of nicotine. So if you just consumed nicotine through gum/patch/old-school vape juice it would be more "difficult" to get addicted to it.
A very interesting article as usual from this source. I particularly enjoyed learning of the marvelous social mechanisms which elevated Roman living standards without the technological advancement which created the modern world.

It is fascinating as well to compare to the fundamental problem of coordination and defections. The accumulated damage to Roman society by selfish actors eventually destroyed the institutions which produced such wealth.
I find it so hard to believe American Universities give out grades based on hand-ins at all. It seems more similar to High School
Sure, but I don't think you need a survey to hypothesize that:
1. Literature interpretation is subjective.
2. If you take subjectivity too far then nothing has meaning anymore.
3. People might not pay to read things that are always deconstructed to nothing.

I am not saying it IS the reason. Just surmising that it might be. If you feel the need for a survey and review to think things then that is admirable but time is not in your favor.
Also, oddly, banks, where everyone seems to be a VP at the very least.

It's pretty hard to believe it.

In which country did it happen?

> Any criticism of the EU or Brussels is far right extremism and must be ignored

I was addressing the wording.

Far right movements in Europe use the same slogans, they are pretty easy to spot, because they are the same in any European language.
>if remote work became the norm trillions in commercial real estate would become worthless

That's exactly what I don't get. Why aren't they greedily crunching numbers thinking about how much they can save by selling off half the office space and going to a "come and show your face a few days a week" & floating desks even

There's yearly property tax and millions on upkeep on top of whatever pile of cash goes into holding the property when it can be sold off...and if they sell before all the other companies, they can still get a higher sales prices before commercial real estate plummets
Makes sense. It's certainly a blessing not having enough material. My impression is this kind of addiction can get particularly depressing if you can look at yourself from the outside...

Those salaries are only possible, because most of it is stock compensation, highly inflated due to the biggest stock market bubble of the last 30 years.

As of next week, as soon as the Fed starts raising rates, the stock market will crater. These compensation values will then become what companies are really willing to pay. Not much different from other parts of the world.
