>if they're creating earth, then how could it be that they're using earth days? (allegedely, earth is just getting created)

Because this is a myth from thousands of years ago, and "scientific" accuracy wasn't relevant, much less possible. Read any ancient creation myth, or most ancient myth at all, it's closer to dream logic than anything remotely realistic. They meant earth days because those were the only kind of days they were aware of, and because there's no reason to believe they made the story more complex than that.
With figures like that, are you really disproving his point (that it's a speculative financial instrument, not a value store)?
No one would care. We already have a 122 year old, no one's tossing their bible out over it. Conflicts in religious texts are common and always resolved one way or the other.
The subject line doesn't seem to match with the the post it links to - perhaps it's been updated since being shared here? The blog post right now is titled 'the ecosystem is moving', and in the first paragraph states:

"Nothing about any of the protocols we’ve developed requires centralization; it’s entirely possible to build a federated Signal Protocol-based messenger, but I no longer believe that it is possible to build a competitive federated messenger at all."

...which is is a far cry from "why federated protocols don't work". A more accurate headline summary might be "why we believe federated protocols are not competitive for this use case", which has a different ring to it.
Texas power grid sounds very good: cheap and reliable.

Not cheap. The people I know in Texas tell me that their electric bills have doubled or tripled since deregulation.

Not reliable. The biggest issue in the current Texas gubernatorial election isn't the economy or immigration or the environment. It's the failure of the power grid last year that led to the deaths of hundreds of people, and how the state has allowed the companies responsible for the failure do little or nothing to fix their problems.
Which again supports the idea that it's about applying yourself and not about privilege or any other excuse that people use to justify their own shortcomings.
So what was the point?
Such a split personality about Russia!

On one hand it is 'a gas station masquerading as a country', 'Russia doesn't make anything important', or 'has a GDP only the size of Italy', or 'anything outside Moscow or St Petersburg is backward and rural without proper toilets', or another of many other US put-downs about Russia.

Then on the other hand 'Russia can overthrow the US electoral system', 'Trump is Russia's puppet', 'Russia will bring down the US electrical grid', 'Russia can destroy the US by spying everywhere', or today's panic: 'Russia could hit U.S. chip industry by withholding important materials', etc, etc, etc.

Make up your minds. Is Russia a 100 lb. weakling, or is Russia a 500 lb. bully? If it's a weakling why so frightened of it? If it's a bully, how can the the US be 'Number One'?
It was free in the early days but over time teams and individuals were funneled into paying. At least in my region, you can still get a 7 day trial, but beyond that you have to pay.

I've noticed similar issues lately. In fact, I have resorted to keeping my my Pocket browser extension in Brave disabled because for whatever reason, Pocket seems to cause the browser to fully utilize ~1.5 cores. I only discovered this after disabling all extensions and using them one at a time. Pocket was the only one that seemed to have a consistent signal. I haven't had weird Brave CPU spikes since I disabled Pocket.

I've wondered about how to exfiltrate all of my accumulated links I've put into Pocket over the past ~7 years or so.
> I think you're overreacting and exaggerating

I don't think so. I had similar experiences to what GP is reporting.

Edit: I must add, this was many years ago (at least ten)... I then let them on their own playing their games, kept studying gnu/linux and I regret nothing, frankly.
Which seems like a bad deal for everyone (the stores, the people in the neighborhood, and even the shoplifters).
Then go read Psalms 90:10 and realize the bible has contradictions.

As an athiest, there's nothing baffling here. Someone guessed 120, perhaps they even knew someone that lived that long or near that long. This sort of "they got this right!" thing happens in a lot of other religions (look up "proofs of the Koran" for examples from the Islamic perspective). Even mormons got it right that some ancient american civs discovered concrete.
Can you recommend any providers with these verification methods? Apologies but my search turns up no results.
I have a hunch that the downfall of the "Plato" real-time downloader wasn't the Indian court case but rather the fact that it helped publishers trivially identify the university accounts through which the downloads were happening. Even if the appearance of papers were delayed by a random number of days, there are other pitfalls now, and most importantly, publishers started caring. In particular, Elsevier now slaps UUIDs onto all PDFs you download from them, and no, I'm not just talking of visible watermarks. Other publishers seem to be doing similar things (there was a recent twitter thread on this, retweeted by @textfiles, which I can't find). The rational solution for Sci-Hub seems to be to buffer their uploads and release them in yearly batches, maybe programmatically removing various kinds of watermarks and diffing against the same paper downloaded from a second IP. If this is what they are doing, I'm not surprised. Not sure how much of a winning strategy they have in the long run, though.

Guys: post your papers on the arXiv.
Trees in general live longer probably because of their tougher cell walls? Or may be their error correction mechanisms happen during cell division? (just guessing)
From what I can understand the challenge with cricket pitches is that you don’t want grass on the surface, but you need strong grass roots, to prevent degradation as balls are hurled into a small part of the pitch at high speed hundreds of times.

Wimbledon similarly has groundsmen who can almost kill grass without killing it. There, the ideal into have very short grass (8mm, according to https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/6667985/wimbledon-head-ground...) and a strong root system. Still, two weeks of tennis each year changes the courts from fully green to, at places, small dust bowls.

Relatively recently, football groundsmen have gotten more important, too. Top clubs want smooth grounds with short grass (https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/jun/15/silicon-val...)

Already happening in SF as we speak. And the remaining stores have super jacked up prices to the point that it's cheaper to order delivery from a store in the suburbs, pay a tip for a driver, and pay them to do the shopping for you (Instacart) than it is to buy locally.

It's clear that Prop 47 and the general mentality that property crimes don't matter and prosecuting them is racist has failed.
Absolutely not. There are actually human costs to it. My parents are old (in their 70s), and they are lucky to have a CVS near by where they can walk and get their medicine and basic needs.

Pharmacies and grocery stores being forced to close due to unchecked theft inflict pain and major lowering of quality of life to people around the neighborhood, and especially to people that can't just drive to the next store.

Also "just use online", may not be a solution. Medicine (especially pain pills), are continuous target of thefts.

Once the stores are closed, then the organized criminals move into homes. Next you will have to start installing heavy iron bars in your home.
If you walk in parts of brooklyn, you'd see older homes that had massive bars even in 2nd floor windows, just to keep the people safe.

The market just doesn't solve the collapse of society. Unchecked theft costs to all society.
On a small scale, this is exactly why when I'm stuck on a development problem (an elusive bug or trying to hammer out a good design), a thorough email about it to a colleague often provides the breakthrough. Because you're taking up a co-worker's time & energy, it motivates you to lay out the problem with the right amount of context, walk through some of the tradeoffs or things you've considered, etc.

And it's not unusual at all for the email to never get sent - among my closest co-workers we'll often tell each other something like, "I couldn't figure out how to fix XYZ so I wrote you a long email about it, fixed the problem, and deleted the email".

(the downside is that once you've experienced this a few times, crummy problem reports from others kind of drive you crazy)

The conventional, idiomatic style is to mark the `intent` of your function/subroutine arguments. Then the compiler can check that you don't attempt to mutate input variables, or read the output variables.

pure subroutine mean_and_std(vec, mean, std)
real, intent(in) :: vec(:)
real, intent(out) :: mean, std
mean = sum(vec) / size(vec)
std = sqrt(sum((vec - mean)**2) / size(vec))
end subroutine

Why should my grocery store close because people are stealing things from it? What do I do, just starve?

If the bible was written by humans before humans knew about carbon dating and evolution I would assume humans meant 6 days. I mean, why wouldn't they believe it was 6 days? That was just as plausible as anything else.

If you are dedicated to the idea the writer of the bible wasn't human then you might go down the rabbit hole of alternative explanations.
They have to pay outsized compensation, largely based on asset price increases, because so few developers want to work in finance. Does not seem sustainable long term to me.

Give it a go.

(I get this article is about homelessness and I'm not pretending it'll help understand that at all, but it's important to explore the world, I think that helps with a lot of things. Throwing out good food is important as a society for supply chain resilience and food safety, it's not going to help with homelessness)

The "freedom" vibe was weird. I'm all for freedom and maximizing negative rights, but there's some compromises we have to make. I don't think this argument is ever going to work, just like it hasn't worked in politics. At the end of the day people do realize there are some compromises that make sense. It's about finding that ground where we maximize negative rights while still having those conveniences.

I also found it strange they ignored one of the largest arguments that Moxie made. Federation becomes centralization. We've seen this happen time and time again. It makes sense by pareto distributions. Just the same way one city has way more people than most others (e.g. NYC has half the population of NY state). This is a natural phenomena. We saw it on the web, email, internet providers, telephones, cryptocurrencies, everything (we'll see it with web3 too). It's because if there isn't an explicit hierarchy there's an implicit one. Eventually that implicit one becomes explicit. Moxie's argument here isn't "federation sucks" it is "why fight the centralization effort? It is better to take control of it than let it run wild."

Yes, obviously it is about the day/night cycle and not about absolute time because people on the other side of the planet are just fine. But while the absolute time may not matter, the time you are awake during the day/night cycle does matter. You can try to tell yourself you can live outside this day/night cycle, but we just didn't evolve that way.

Hi moasda,

I was wondering if they did or did not pay out your affiliate earnings before closing the the door.

Good luck in your endeavors. May I suggest also polishing your tool (its pretty good already. Maybe tailor it to specific use cases/back-end technologies) and offering it for sale/license it to various companies who would like to sell their tires?

All but the most inexperienced lispers read code by indentation.

Also, pretty much any language that parses to an AST could easily output same as s-expressions if desired. Which incidentally is something I enjoy so much about Lisp. It makes it trivial to reason about code as a tree of structured objects instead of a string.
I don't mind. I pay for streaming and prefer it to linear TV.

I agree that the complicit DAs and recent lax attitudes towards crime are probably a root cause, but it's almost too easy to blame "woke" everything.

If everyone woke went away tomorrow, our society would still have many of these problems.

Personally? I think it's just the chickens coming home to roost on the degradation of our society since the 1970s and it's acceleration since the 2008 financial collapse, but it could also be a lack of investment (emotional, personal and financial) in local communities.

> In C-like languages exiting from a deeply nested loop isn’t exactly trivial (without the use of goto, so don’t even go there).

What's wrong with goto to do exactly what it's supposed to do?

You can of course wrap loop content into functions, and maybe the compiler will "out-optimize" that, but you will never get the performance of loops in a single function, nor you can conditionally jump from middle of one loop into another.
I think we're reaching the end of that road. Look at Denuvo, sure it's still hackable but takes several magnitudes more time and effort than in the past. Eventually we'll reach a point where consumers have no choice but to comply
For me, it's a systems design problem.

How do you design a law enforcement system that (1) doesn't grind down poor and minorities the way the current system does, yet (2) still makes punishment for minor crimes like shoplifting sufficiently swift, sure, and severe to be an effective deterrent?

Liberals tend to say "Let's focus on (1) and ignore (2)," while conservatives say "Let's focus on (2) and ignore (1)."

Is it possible to create a system satisfies both concerns? Or is there some fundamental reason that we can never have both? Do we need to pick exactly one of {(1), (2)} and just accept that we'll be stuck with whatever we decide is the lesser of two evils?

The awful names are from a six-character limit somewhere.

I'm curious why you would want multiple dispatch. Seems to me like either longer names or single dispatch would be enough. In "cgbtrf", the first three letters just tell you what kind of matrix are the input... "cgb" being a complex-valued band matrix. That leaves you only three letters to say what the function does.
I think you're right; there's immense potential value in news aggregation that goes beyond "this got the most eyeballs / articles".

If they introduced blanket MitM, it would only take one person to verify fingerprints for it to become public. You mention that people who verify fingerprints would be excluded, but I've no idea how you'd achieve that.

With any FLOSS everyone is trusting that another geek somewhere is paying attention to a particular piece of software and will raise the alarm if there is something wrong. And I do mean everyone.
