> how should we manage this as a society?

If COVID crisis has been any indication, common gut feeling has proven right on many occasions such as mask, airborne, lab leak etc. It was very clear early on masks might help, until health experts chimed in with their poor messaging saying masks don’t work. The virus being aerosolized and spreading airborne was also quite clear given how common symptoms tended to be to flu, yet there was hyper focus on hand washing etc instead of cleaning air or ventilation.

You don’t need to be an expert to understand air pollution is bad. Common sense and symptoms tell you it is. If anything this is an excuse for experts to collude with policy makers to pass on whatever the agendas they are working on.

I share the mindset with OP that experts as they exist today in the form of soulless gatekeepers feeding their egos with peer reviews can’t be trusted.
> Most pdf editors will put a square over the text

Redaction is usually a "Pro" feature in commercial PDF editors. People who use PDF's annotation feature to draw a big filled shape over the text/image to be redacted, don't know what they're doing and should be prepared for poor outcomes.

Adobe Acrobat and Foxit have "Pro" variants that redact properly, I'd love to know exactly how they do it. The open-source approach I'm familiar with, essentially converts the PDF to a flattened image and edits it to apply a colored shape over it. Example[1].

It's a very, very bad study. If you want to know how bad: it would lend equal support to the hypothesis "everyone's heart rate drops 4.8bpm in one day".
Because it fits the description of "bad answer" given in the text, which includes "might be true, but many people already agree with them."

The requirement was that "very few people agree with you on" it.

My local science center has a chart showing how many Earths are needed if everyone on the planet uses the same average resources as someone from country "X", so we're not talking some sort of small minority topic.
I appreciate the good faith engagement (cue side glare sigstoat), and I'm in agreement with everything but the use of "never" in the your closing sentence.

Depending what you mean by "into the system," existence itself is a glaring counterexample.

How did any of it get here in the first place?
Was there an uncaused cause?
Is entropy reversible?

Until we can explain-away these types of questions, it'd be prudent to remain noncommittal on the topic. The type of determinism that sigstoats expect might not even make sense in other regions or eras of reality. Things get profoundly hazy past Planck Era.
Ok, those are fair points. The US is not innocent for sure, but consider the context of the times when the technology was developed, and also that a hydrogen warhead is 1000x more destructive than the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Take pause to think about that.

I'll add that I'm far more concerned with the remains of the Soviet empire than China for a number of reasons.

But it really doesn't matter which side was more decent or noble. Fact is we're in the fight now and their intent is crystal clear. They built those devices to put our people, children, homes and ideals under the ground. It's so so dangerous to give them a pass.

React is becoming a boring technology and that's a good thing.
Most likely due to vue 2 to 3 transition. Vue 3 introduced many improvements and breaking changes. This also made many libraries lose compatibility with Vue 3. Not a good thing.

While vue 3 was soft launched a year ago. The transition is still happening. With Vue 3 becoming default last week(feb 7). And major vue frameworks (vuetify and nuxt) just still working to support vue 3.

I expect satisfaction to increase next year, when ecosystem catches up. And dissatisfied folks switch to other options.

One thing to note is v2.7 is still shrouded darkness. Now, that major vue 3 work is done, Clarity and good support on v2.7 will also improve satisfaction.

> 37. We have seen that crypto-technology is underpinned by a philosophy to evade Government controls. Cryptocurrencies have specifically been developed to bypass the regulated financial system. These should be reason enough to treat them with caution.

Well duh. Way to prove the point that we need to evade government control. Zero self-awareness. No examination into why people may not trust their government. Just do what we say. This from the same government that already demonetized* the currency used by the same people they want to be trusted by.

Difficult to say at this level of abstraction, but there's one strategy that we see quite often.

The fact that music tuned to 432 Hz might sound slightly off to listeners might explain the change in attention, which in turn might explain the change in heart rate.

It would have been helpful measure other tuning values like 430 or 445 Hz to determine if it's caused by 432 Hz specifically.
Yes, they are OK with that, but I'd like to ramp up as much as I can.

As to the IDE, I am assuming they would be using PyCharm and that should be familiar since I use RubyMine. I'll check.

I might be getting that question totally wrong, but faced with the question of "would you use gulp for a new project" my answer would also be "no", altough I think that gulp is a nice and totally workable tool.

The thing is that gulp doesn't really have all that much to offer these days. If you need lots of complex build logic webpack is the way to go. If simple & fast is the desired goal then something like esbuild or swc do a much better job, especially in the "fast" section.

And if none of these tools are what you want you could always use make (and bazel would also be possible I think, not sure though). Or maybe just plain tsc is enough.

That already happens. If you set the "Details" view in Windows, it will display one file per row with various columns showing file metadata, including the file type. So for the example in the post, you'd see "[Word icon] annexe.doc - [the date] - Application" as opposed to "[Word icon] annexe.doc - [the date] - Microsoft Word 97 - 2003 Document".

I don't really expect soothing words, I expect honesty. To me that is actually a more sincere expression of kindness.

Engineers are certainly fast with critique which is not restricted to online spaces. But I want to hear that in most cases. I think it is often far more insightful than naive positivism, especially since so many in tech now work for advertisers or there is much content on crypto-currency hype. At some point cynicism can become pathological, but so can being wide-eyed. There certainly is a point where everything is talked down, but I don't really see much of that to be honest.

Negative moods can be as contagious as laughter, but you have an easier life if you remind yourself that angry people do care. Maybe more than they should, but that can itself be endearing if you try to understand their perspective. And isn't complaining about toxicity just falling into the same trap?
To make it more complicated, they measure mass-squared! The original KATRIN article from 2019 (which I read at the time) measured a mass-squared of m^2 = (-1.0) +0.9 -1.1 eV^2. This is obviously unphysical, as a negative mass, let alone a negative mass-squared does not mean anything. (No they are not tachyons.) To get around this, some statistical tricks like "Feldman-Cousins" and others have to be used to construct a confidence interval that can be physically interpreted. I don't know the details of FC though, but it's widely used in low-statistics experiments.

Well... it is the best form I could come up with. My interest regarding this project is mostly in usable programmer-level abstractions, so I am very open to any ideas of what kind of API would be better. I'd be super-happy to discuss any alternatives.

Background: In this implementation the use of inheritance is not just for the sake of it ("because it's C++"), but because it gives me type-safety. When you program with handlers, there are a lot of types floating around (the type of the handled computation, the answer type of the handler, the return types of the commands), and I want the compiler to keep track of those. The best option I could find is to make handlers classes that derive from an abstract template, which forces the handler to have the appropriate command/return clauses with appropriate types.

Folks familiar with effect handlers in functional programming might be suspicious about handlers living on two levels, as they are defined as classes but then you handle a computation with a particular object of that class. But it is not a new idea (cf. Pablo Inostroza, T. Storm "JEff: objects for effect"), and this is a much more natural way to express stateful handlers than parameterised handlers in FP.

How did they transform the original music to A=432Hz?

If they did it in the naïve way, it would result in a decrease in tempo by almost 2%.
As an avid vaporwave listener, I’d wager that listening to music slowed down / pitched down has a calming psychological effect in general. In other words, 432hz is not some magic number, it’s better because it’s lower.
The OS is based on BTRON which is/was an obscure desktop OS which today is only used because of it's non unicode character set which has a better coverage of historic Asian characters. What makes it interesting:

Fully windowed desktop OS which is somewhat touch friendly.

Comes with something like Apples HyperCard and those applications are drag and drop compatible on desktop and the PDA. http://tronweb.super-nova.co.jp/microscriptrefmanual19.html Those HyperCard like apps are as integrated into the desktop experience as folders are. The programming language for those HyperCard like things is nicer than BASIC but less complicated than modern programming languages. http://tronweb.super-nova.co.jp/microscriptrefmanual.html One could also program on the PDA if one had to.

OS quiet fully featured (in so far as the OS doesn't come with SSL as that wasn't a thing back then). The lineage of the OS comes from the embedded instead of the server world. This means that the OS is real-time (and multi tasking) capable and this is useful to make meager hardware seem more reactive instead server lineage OSes (Android/Linux) of being more optimized for throughput. I imagine on modern hardware it would be as fluid as iOS with the level of customisablity and approachability of old Apple desktops with HyperCards.

Definitely noticed this as well.

Five or more years ago I bought a kettle from Amazon and two months later it starts leaking. Turns out it's a design flaw and a lot of reviews on the kettle mentioned the same issue. I sent a support ticket and they refunded me immediately and told me I could keep the kettle.

Then last year I ordered a knife on Amazon. A month later I receive a water flosser...

I contact support (which is now next to impossible to find in the UI) and they tell me they can't refund me unless I send the item back and they also won't be sending me my actual purchase. This was during lockdown and as I do not own a printer I was not able to print out the return slip. They also refused to come and pick it up. I got nothing, not even a "we're sorry" coupon; my account is over 20 years old.

So we went from automatic refund + you get to keep the item for an issue that was not their fault to them completely fucking up my order and then making me go through hoops, spend me own money to send their mistake back to them.

The good news is that there are a lot of different and competitive online retailers around these days, and a lot of shops are now online due to Covid. So it was not very difficult for me to stop using Amazon altogether.

This 100% my experience in Germany as well. Thank you for articulating it so well.

There is zero political skill of anticipating counter-reactions in the government.

The perfect example of this phenomenon was the discussion around vaccine mandates. In 2020, mainstream politics dismissed all mentions of vaccine mandates as dangerous misinformation spread by right-wing conspiracy theorists.

In 2022, mainstream politics is in favor vaccine mandates, and brands mandate opponents as right-wing conspiracy theorists. It's a complete disaster.
You can do that! No places that dropped mask mandates have made a law against wearing masks.

Unless there's a difference between yours and mine `dc` that's not quite right:

10 # pushes 10
20 # pushes 20
+ # pops 20 10 sums, pushes results
p # prints top of stack (peek)

Equal (`=`) is a conditonal macro invocation `=r`: pops two values off stack, invokes (the contents of register) `r` if they are equal.

[p]sa # store peek stack top as macro in a

30
=a # Stack should be 1337, 30 (20+10) and 30, so should output 1337
# pops 30 and 30; 30==30;p -> top is 1337

> like a group of people skying or in a job site where you need inmediate communication at a distance when installing something, not office work, more contractor like situation: “please bring the box from the trunk” or something like that.

Wouldn't you rather use some actual radios for this? They make small PMR ones that aren't expensive, need no license/permit (in Germany at least) and have surprisingly good reach. We used a pair of these to communicate with people in a heavily reinforced concrete basement that blocked out cellular and data completely, and on hiking trips in the alps (though with a lot of rock in between you need at least something to reflect your signal, but that's still way better than yelling)

> But what I needed was a network independent app

Not sure if that's actually possible with decent reach. After all, I don't think you get direct control over iPhone/Apple Watch modems/transmitters and neither wifi nor bluetooth are optimized for this use case.

> What is that then? Because it can't be race, religion, language etc etc.

It can be all of those or none of those. A tribe or ethnic group can be a nation by itself. They could join other similar peoples to form a nation if there is strong cultural commonality. A bunch of anime-loving randos living in the same apartment complex does not make them a nation.

> Really the nation of "India" was created by Britain.

The state or political entity that is India is a descendant of the Raj. To say that a people who have no sense of their own nation created the Indian nation is a joke. What you can say is that the political entity that represents the English Crown created the political entity that is the Republic of India.

> the European "nation" - a fiction.

The European "nation" IS a fiction. There is no shared ethnicity, language, religion or culture. That is why the project is doomed to fail. Pan-Africanism, Pan-Arabism, Pan-Europeanism etc will never work because there is no glue that can bind the different nations together.
