Exactly, this is how they do stuff like detecting data exfiltration (though that can also be done by traffic flow analysis also).
The experience helped me realize that a non-trivial amount of work done in these labs is worthless and probably even harmful. They don't seem to care as much about the science as they care about publications (on the part of the PI) and being published (the PhD students).

Moreover, the lab pushed me out and decided to use my work anyway. Specifically, they requested that anybody that used the software I wrote give them authorship on their papers.

I'm happily employed as a software engineer now.
Yes! I'm looking forward to that update. But even before, there have always been little performance improvements here and there with every update of Flutter.
looks like the guy who took over freenode is doing his best to create a walled garden. Also plenty of people still on IRC, including me :)

FWIW, I like irssi much better than the slack front end, but as font ends go, slack's is not terrible.
>> I very much think that this contract is what gave Russia the upper hand. When the Western Europe was the majority market gor Russian gas, things were status quo. Once China starts buying more and more gas from Russia, Russia doesn’t have to please Europe anymore and Europe can impose any sanctions it wants.

Yep. If Europe (and Germany in particular) retaliates with economic warfare (err... sanctions) then Russia will simply turn off Nordstream 1. Options to sell to China instead make this much easier for them to do. Maybe there isn't currently a good way to deliver, but have you seen how fast China can build stuff if they really want to?

This idea of Germany voting not to turn on a pipeline that is currently not turned on is just an attempt to make it look like they're doing something when in fact, they are not doing anything.
I had never heard of myocarditis until three people I know got it within a week of getting covid vaccinated. Since that is the only data I have, that is the data I will use to make my decisions.

Problem is autocrats don't care about consistency at all, nor do they have to maintain an public image of consistency (maybe not just autocrats, perhaps modern politicians in general).

This "if I apply the same logic to this other thing you did" simply doesn't work other than as a gotcha title for the media in opposition. Stories/opinions will be drown out by misinformation and propaganda.

It's even easier especially for autocrats, because if you ask them "isn't that the same claim Western non-Han China could make about itself?", they can just pretend not hearing the question and let the ministry of truth do the work.
Try calling them on the phone.
HN pointed me to the official status page though
Decent criticism, thanks.

Given the old-timey wording of the US constitution, and how old-timey phrases like "well regulated" mean something, I think we have to go on extra-constitutional evidence.

More practically, given that around 30% of the US population is un-churched, is it at all wise to have policies that only protect religious forms of expression? As a society, we'd leave out a third of the populous, more some places, and less others.

And let's face it, this is leading up to forbidding criticism of religious organizations. Policies like that would have exceptionally harmful effects to society as a whole.
With truly no PLP I'd expect unrecovarable drives that have screwed up their FTL when you pull power.
All the genius-level people over had the pleasure to work with had tremendous amounts of curiosity on common. They were having a lot of fun when they got to explore something new. I do know though that several of them also struggled with depression at the same time.

Python Testing with Pytest, Simple, Rapid, Effective, and Scalable
I've posted this before, but a key feature that can help with falling back to sleep and/or insomnia is recognizing that we fall asleep when we warm up, not (necessarily) when we are warm. So if you aren't falling asleep, take off the blankets, make sure the room is as cold as possible/practical and then let yourself get really cold. Like shivering cold. When you can't stand it anymore, then cover yourself up lightly. You'll have a much better chance of falling asleep. This approach has helped several people I know, although not everyone that I've told, as we are all different and insomnia comes from many sources.

Also, try a sleep study! Sleep apnea is not just something that affects people that are overweight - I had it for nearly all my life, turns out, as do my siblings. It isn't a magic cure but my sleeping is probably 3x better with a cpap.
Some people are more susceptible to depression, that's clear. You mentioned mindset, but therapy approaches are not tantamount to just "rationalizing" your way out of depression. If it were that simple no one would be depressed. Interventions are a multi-pronged approach, but for those dealing with cognitive factors, they apply training with workbook exercises. The CBT way is to learn to recognize distorted unrealistic thinking, there are also approaches that attempt to mitigate automatic thinking or the emotional reaction to it. Bottom line is the research suggests this is generally effective.
There's a "progressive web app" - if you're in Chrome on chat.google.com, there's a new icon on the right hand side of the URL bar which permits you to download it. Not discoverable at all - this was mentioned in the help pages [https://support.google.com/chat/answer/9455386]
An illegal action which causes harm to (many) others should come at a cost. Maybe the cost can just be an inconvenience and a bit of public embarrassment, such as is the case here.

I absolutely would apply this to people who disrupt a flight and cost the other passengers time and the airline $$$.

I would also apply this to idiots on the road who create enormous accidents. Maybe their actions were a mistake, but when it costs a lot of people time and money, it is a harm.

If you're capable of sourcing and setting up such a jammer, you must have enough comprehension to know that it could affect other people. It is doubtful that he expected to take out a large group of peoples' internet, but he could not have been completely ignorant to the risks of collateral harm.
Presumably the media article is sensationalizing the story a bit. Given the spectrum analyzer screenshot in the article, the jammer in question was flooding the 850 Mhz area spectrum with wave noise, jamming LTE/5G internet access in a localized area in the town.

I would assume that the cellular provider probably was called by numerous customers in the local area asking why their cellular access was going down, and they deployed a spectrum analyzer to troubleshoot the issue. This is common - interference from everything from misbehaving power supplies to leaky TV cables can cause interference that cellular engineers troubleshoot all the time. Once they noticed a jammer was being used they contacted law enforcement.

The real problem here is that these jammers will also deny phone access (read: 911 / 112) and can also jam public safety communications radios which also sometimes operate in the same spectrum.
And google chat is working very slow and weird... They can't figure out IM still in 2022.
oh true! I guess there really is nothing new under the sun anymore.
Montenegro is different because everyone involved agreed on the referendum and there was legal basis for independence, even though it only passed by a couple hundred votes and with voter suppression but other than that it's a perfectly valid referendum.

Kosovo* is more comparable to Srpska in Bosnia or Krajina in Croatia, or Crimea and Donbass. While Montenegro is more like Scotland situation in the UK.
Yes, any intervention you can implement will slow down integration.
People want a more comprehensive solution to be discussed, a wider universe of possibilities, instead of false dilemmas and gatekeeping arbitrary choices with children or not.
Depending on your IDE, you could use different tools to provide the intellisense-like functionality for clojure. For Jetbrains, there is Cursive, for emacs, Cider, etc. I won't disagree that the beginning experience can be lacking even when coming from Java - for instance a good coding environment also includes setting up a hosted repl, but the extra effort does pay off in being able to code interactively as your program runs.

The lack of type checking is due to the entirely different paradigm that Clojure is built around. There are many benefits to it, but I can understand the frustration if you expect to use the language in a way that goes against that, especially when dealing with the interop layers. The fact that it is built upon the JVM is powerful but it's not necessarily an easy language switching from a language like Java.
I’ve been using flutter in anger for a cross platform web / iOS / android music app. I love it!

I see lots of Dart skeptics here. I was too when I started but Dart is great and better than JS.

I’m a Go developer by profession and Dart feels similar in ways. Simple language, simple type system, easy to learn, only one way to do things. Great compiler, great debugger, good ecosystem, good performance.

The complaints about widgets feeling off on different platforms is fair. My app is a totally custom UI so it doesn’t matter.

My favorite feature is the widget testing framework. It’s really easy to run the actual app and interact with it and verify UI interactions, UI state, app state and even UI pixels.

My frustrations are:

- cross platform system packages are of various quality and feature support. Someone in the ecosystem has to build the libraries with native bird and message passing to the flutter interface. I’m constantly surprised how much exists but when there are bugs or features missing on one platform it’s some major work to get it addressed.

- app initialization, lifecycle and navigation and routing took a long time to get right. Some more conventions on overall project structure and better getting started templates would go a long way.

The monolithic language and framework will be an advantage to some and a turn off to others. As a solo hobbyist, it’s a super power to get all these platforms at once.

What does that mean?
> So yeah, self-rating is an important factor to measuring happiness

Well, it's the only measure. I wasn't saying self-rating is bad (although it, of course, is if you're trying to draw objective conclusions), I'm trying to say that performance doesn't equate strongly enough to medals and happiness doesn't relate strongly enough to how people self-report to make any conclusions particularly useful.
The writing simply has to be very high quality. Reading in games obviously is not entirely unpopular, see Disco Elysium, but then again that eventually got very good voice acting to read it all out, which helps a lot
So while I often use irssi, I have become recently fixated on how to compartmentalize all my different chats and I keep coming back to weechat on a vps that bridges slack, discord etc, so weechat bridges are another alternative. If you have a good idempotent spinup method with your vps it can also mean less data hanging around to be grabbed because you can just make a fresh one anytime, in any datacenter.
With heat unfortunately I cannot do as much as with cold - I need moreless two weeks in the heat to acclimate correctly and then my performance is somewhere close to non-hot-weather performance (I'm a runner). But unfortunately at some moment this also stops working when I'm doing some very high effort - active cooling is required (aka splash yourself with water, ice etc). In some conditions (especially hot+humid) human built-in active cooling mechanism also doesn't work well - sweating is awesome, but sweat no longer evaporates effectively in humid conditions. I also say it's easier in cold - you could always put more clothes on you if need them, but in the heat? There is only as much clothes as you can take off.

I'd agree it's somehow mental discipline - I can also ignore pain, it's there, but well I don't have to act on it, it does not have to have any reaction. It used to be a cool party trick back when I was a teenager... Again, not a medical professional, if you experience pain, it's body trying to tell you something is wrong, most likely you should listen to it.

I wonder if China is going to go full-in into artificial wombs and "production" of new work force without need to rely on natural births.

Artificial wombs are very controversial in the West, but they seem to be technically feasible (at least experiments in other mammalian species indicate so), and an authoritarian country like China, being squeezeed by demography while having significant scientific know-how, seem to be the most likely candidates for actually trying this out on humans.

Well this is a story as old as racism itself. There's never been a clear-cut way to unambiguously decide which "race" everybody is, and segregationist regimes have always struggled with edge cases. E.g. back in the days of Jim Crow it was sometimes possible for a particular "black" person to become legally "white" just by crossing state lines.

Regular Expressions as defined mathematically is strictly less powerful than turing machines. (by several levels, they are strictly less powerful than general context-free grammars, which are strictly less powerful than general context-sensitive grammars, which are strictly less powerful than arbitary grammars)

The 'regexes' in modern languages and tools, however, are not actually regular in the original mathematical sense, they have been augmented by several constructs that are not regular. Perl is the leader in this field, its latest addition is regexes which can reference itself recursively, making (presumably, never seen a proof) it at least context-free. Here, the non-regular constructs used is capture groups and arbitary forward lookahead.

In addition to that, the author is doing something sneaky by making the user press a button continuesly to advance the state of the turing machine, so it's not actually search+replace that is turing complete, it's search+replace+"repeatedly pressing replace all". Unlike what some other people say in this thread, repeatedly pressing a button to simulate the machine doesn't count as 'turing complete' and is not comparable to plugging the machine in power.
My point was exactly that it's not necessary for every editor to aim to support the general case, because not everyone need that, and aiming to support the general case adds a lot of complexity. I'm glad some editors do that, because some will need it.

For my part I love a repl. My editor has a repl too. Different needs.

> It was an example how naive approaches failed. Your personal editor doesn't particularly interests me.

You made pronouncements about how things would fail that you implied would affect a simplified model. I've pointed out why those assumptions don't hold under the design constraints I stated in my first comments. I get that you replied on the basis of the general case. That's fine - we simply talked past each other in that respect.

In that respect my editor serves as an example of viability, that's all. Nobody is asking you to be interested in it. If anything I'm explicitly warning people against expecting it to be usable for them.

That your needs from an editor are different is fine. I'm not questioning the validity of your needs for you.
Trump’s new social media app launches on iOS
This theory is ridiculous. US and Europe are Chinas primary trade partners, Russia is irrelevant in comparison.

Siding with Russia would further unify US and the EU, which is not something China desires.

China will stay out of this, they have absolutely nothing to gain and everything to lose by siding with Russia.
For most large companies, their health page is updated manually by project managers or directors. The reason is simple: accurate reports make them look bad. And make them liable for refunds due to broken SLAs.

Tracking and optimization does not necessitate obsession. But if you are predisposed to it, the extra attention can lead people to slip into anxiety.

The same idea would hold for those trying to lose weight. It's all CICO. But would you suggest someone not count calories for fear that this may raise anxiety? Or would you instead propose emotional/anxiety management strategies while pursuing this?

This is why CBT-i is so effective for alleviating insomnia. The primary component is CBT, which is meant to curb anxiety, not unlike the sort that can manifest itself when applying interventions.

That's not to say all so-called "sleep hygiene" is necessarily helpful. There's no universal standard for it and there's no evidence that tracking on a watch or whatever can improve sleep. But obviously some things do help.

Hitting a nice not too steep good condition slope on the correct board can be a lot of fun.

Once I got my first actually wide board that I could really carve like a mad man it opened a totally new world of fun for me.

Ryan Knapton on youtube has had some really nice videos about this for a long time now. For example https://youtu.be/1a-oj70PFqc

With "actually wide" I mean not what most manufacturers call "wide" but proper 31cm wide or more from the narrowest point for my mondo 29 feet making sure I will never catch my toe or heel when carving really hard.
Thanks, I thought that this person might have been describing something other than that because they said "no-focus" as opposed to "focus", and also because they made mention of scheduling meetings during "no-focus times".

I was wondering whether maybe "no-focus time" might have been something even wackier, like time in which it's explicitly encouraged to interrupt everyone as much as possible, which I know sounds silly, but you never know these days...
My opinion is “US and Canadian financial law” biased, yes, since that’s the rough domain of interest in this thread.

There’s nothing illegal about P2P crypto transfers, assuming that you’re not (1) circumventing currency transaction laws, and (2) paying the appropriate taxes. Since the people who might do P2P transfers in this scenario want to avoid the scrutiny of the law entirely, I think it’s safe to say that this does indeed fall under “doing two crimes at once.”
Indeed. And those who say “yeah, but it’s only 36m cubic meters” kinda gloss over the fact that at any time they can simply ramp up. Those 36m m3 can be just a pilot. Those gas field in Yakutia have half a trillion m3 reserves:

What a brilliant thought!

In a hypothetical pursuit of the definition of happiness, I tend to lean on an analogy in TCG's (trading cards, yes). Rarity.

The machines computed that happiness exists on a spectrum. As with TCG's, there must exist a high ratio of 'common' to feel the implication of pulling a 'mythic'.

To be happy, you must experience unhappy?

They need to do more due diligence on the cause before announcing the cause, but they don't need to do more than confirm users are having problems to update the status page that problems exist.

Even assuming they can't instantly see the problems in a dashboard and need to take time to understand user feedback to see which aspects specifically are affected to update the page in more detail, nothing is stopping them from very quickly putting a "Connectivity issues reported by some users, investigating the extent and cause currently" banner at the top of the page which should be ready to go at a moment's notice anyway.
My pet theory is that Russia's natural resource production was looking to fall way short, so much so, even, that wouldn't be able to make their contractual obligations (i.e. international exports). This would have been an economic and political disaster.

I guess we'll never know if I was right now, though, now that demand has fallen[0], supply has increased[1], and the people have been well distracted for some time to come.
