I run a website (https://jpdb.io/) which has an Anki importer so I deal with a lot of Anki databases that people send to me and which fail to import, and yeah, Anki's database schema is kind of a mess to be honest. (Which is to be expected for a program of Anki's age and with such a long development history.)

A few extra tidbits:

- A few versions back the cards' "ease" field (that is - how a card was graded) meant something different depending on which phase the card was at the time (so sometimes "2" meant "hard" and sometimes "2" meant "okay"). It was finally fixed and AFAIK in new versions it's consistent now, but apparently the migration didn't always work properly and I still sometimes see databases where the grading is the other way around compared to what it's supposed to be, and I need to heuristically detect that this is the case and handle it.

- Initially JSON blobs were used to store a lot of data; relatively recently that was changed so that it's stored as proper tables, but not completely, so a lot of data's still in the blobs, but this time instead of JSON it's protobuf. (Which seems strange to me considering SQLite has native support for JSON.)

It's a good thing the schema's slowly being cleaned up, but unfortunately it's only done incrementally, so every time any little thing changes I need to add yet another special case to my importer to handle it, and often in various permutations too because some databases are half migrated Frankensteins. (Don't ask me how that happens; I don't know. Maybe it's an issue of people using outdated plugins with their Anki installation, or copying their database between multiple independent Anki implementations, or maybe the current phase of the moon's just wrong.)

You should read the paper in the link. Both of your claims here are exactly backward.

The problem is "just" that exceptions don't scale across multiple threads due to internally using a global lock. They are otherwise much faster than return values (4x faster in the trivial example)

I wish I had done that to my father's home last year when he was alive. I didn't realize how much heat can come into a home from the attic. The joists act as a heat bridge radiating heat down from the ceiling. I plan on installing fibre wool in two layers one in joist cavities and one perpendicular over the exposed wood frame.

My parents also have a door to the attic for storage and heat leaks up through the un-insulated edge of the pull-down stairs door.

Even in the unique world of sofware, the last problem in the world is employees having too much leverage over companies.

Do you have a source for this claim?

All I have read until now points to a majority of individual emissions associated with vehicle emissions and Energy usage for Heating/Cooling houses/offices. I am all for a vegetarian lifestyle for animal welfare sake but I feel this focus on Agricultural emissions is misleading or at least misreported.

If it were as simple as you say, then why (in Australia) is your minimum wage so high? So 2 hours of work on minimum wage can cover a week of food? And you are calling BS on what I said? Okay.

People's right to protest should not depend on whether you (or governing politicians) find their cause sympathetic.
This isn't actually advice to his son (who was also destined to be vizier, and thus lots of this advice wouldn't apply to him). It's "wisdom literature", as was fairly common among the royalty and elites of old (i.e. people who have little to no knowledge of what the life of the underclass is like).

It would be like Jeff Bezos or Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan releasing a worldly advice and self-help book for the commoners.

Excuse me for my pessimism but a short while ago I was reading and digging deep about the infamous Gulag-system in the Soviet Union roughly from 1920-1960. And after endless unimaginable suffering, excess of violence which just roamed free in those "zones" spanning over decades after it fizzled out when Stalin finally died - some little insight about human nature dawned upon me after striding through untold personal accounts: Those things begin and also end.

So, yeah it roughly began in 2001 with the attack on civil liberties (Patriot-Act) and it will continue as there is no real opposition to it, the vast majority simply don't care, and after 30-40 years, one or two generations it will end.

[0]The prospect of arrest and trial weighed heavy even on the highest-ranking Party member. Following their arrest, aware of the fate
that awaited them, many immediately asked to sign their ‘confession’. Others, unable to comprehend what was happening, remained
loyal to the Party, believing that it would eventually realise its mistake and reinstate them. ‘They were all tired men. The higher you got
in the hierarchy, the more tired they were. I have nowhere seen such exhausted men as among the higher strata of Soviet politicians,
among the Old Bolshevik guard. It was not only the effect of overwork, nervous strain and apprehension. It was the past that was telling
on them, the years of conspiracy, prison and exile; the years of the famine and the Civil War; and sticking to the rules of a game that
demanded that at every moment a man’s whole life should be at stake. They were indeed ‘dead men on furlough’, as Lenin had called
them. Nothing could frighten them any more, nothing surprise them. They had given all they had. History had squeezed them out to
the last drop, had burnt them out to the last spiritual calorie; yet they were still glowing in cold devotion, like phosphorescent corpses.’

* Employers would be prohibited from asking about an applicant's pay history

* Employees would have a right to ask their employer for sex-disaggregated information on the average pay of other workers doing the same work or work of equal value.

* Employers with at least 250 employees would have to report on their gender pay gap and carry out a pay assessment if the gap exceeds 5 % and cannot be justified.

* Compensation would be available to victims of pay discrimination, with the burden of proof placed on the employer and sanctions for infringements of the equal pay rule.

A common effect of religious influence is delayed sexual exploration (i.e., later than what's natural given human biological development). The fact that you need this to be explained to you shows that you aren't aware of the phenomenon we're discussing. It's something that's very hard to understand if you haven't lived it.

So already today there are criticisms of how weak Boris's sanctions are:

https://twitter.com/Peston/status/1496140100316639247

He's also blunderingly claimed Roman Abramovich is subject to sanctions, to make a load of noise -- and Abramovich has clearly threatened to sue, so he has desperately retracted.

His sanctions are as I expected, but thinner -- some notable banks, three oligarchs who may or may not have much money in the UK.

They will clearly let some people move money out of the country, and the Tories are already on the back foot, including from The Spectator(!)

This.

My dad is very skeptical of compression, not understanding the concept of lossless and thinking it reduces quality to compress it. Even if you explain it in terms of "so instead of writing 1111111 it writes 7x1, look how much less space that takes! But it's the same information in the end." Even NTFS compression is a checkbox he insisted I disable. So it's wav all the way.

Recently had hard drive issues and I copied all data to a new drive at painstaking speeds (the hdd was barely limping). I now have no idea which files might have glitches from broken bits or sectors in them.

I guess a checksummed filesystem or keeping hash sums somewhere (the standard utilities make it pretty easy to verify many files with one simple command) is the solution for him. For me... just use a normal format and save half the space and money. Heck, go one step further and use opus: a healthy young individual can't hear the difference at a good bitrate let alone my "audiophile" "listens to too loud music" old man.
My reason for reading in-depth articles and books is to increase my learnings on all these topics.

Partly for entertainment. But mostly because our world is hyperconnected. A looming war in Eastern Europe, combined with supply-chain shortages, apparently has a giant effect on stock prices. So, in order to understand why my pension is at risk, what I can do to secure it, or whether I should wait with buying a new car or house, , I need to know about 1) Russian Geopolitics, 2) Natural-Gas usage, 3) Supply-chains of, mostly, computer-chips, 4) inflation and then, 5, how all this ties together.

We live in a hyperconnected world where every butterfly has profound effects on my daily life. For me, that means I try to avoid reading about every butterfly or wing-flapping (i.e. the daily news) but I try to learn as much as possible about underlying mechanisms and issues.

It shows motive and potential for more victims in future, while as if for example that particular disable person say picked their pocket and they overreacted in a violent way or for other reasons you listed would show a different motive entirely.

This also dips into premeditated, especially if there is a pattern of that attitude and motive.
One thing people are not so much aware about other than insulation is air sealing. A tiny gap that may seem like nothing is in fact very bad. Take windows notoriously bad for heat and air leaks. A small seam along a window that isn't locked (it should be) could be the equivalent of having a 1cm hole in the wall.

If insulated well and air sealed a home would lose very little energy. But also you'd need a good air handling system to move and refresh the air.
Conversely, if you're already familiar with something, it might make sense to you despite being poorly written and unconvincing.

What has been driving me a little nuts about it is the amount of luck involved with getting the word in a few tries. I can reliably get the word in 4 tries give or take. But when you hit something equivalent to *AR you can guess BAR, CAR, PAR, MAR, TAR, JAR, FAR, etc. The number of times I got 4 out of 5 letters on the second try just to finally get the word on the 5th or 6th try feels like I am cheated of a victory.
Great point. This assumes that the TPM does secure deletes. Their primary purpose is protect keys, not get rid of them. I think in practice a TPM is a small enough system that the deletion would be secure just because that is the simplest way to do that. If you do this enough then some overwriting will likely occur. I guess media endurance could be a problem in some cases.

I personally would choose somewhere in southern EU like Portugal, Spain, or Italy. Better weather and I think lower cost of living - assuming her salary is same in any EU country and they aren't pro-rating it.

You will most likely have to supplement any education for your child anyhow (to educate them on English and American things), I wouldn't focus too much on that being a deciding factor. As much as there are different areas in the US, the culture is very similar. I imagine being a road trip away from the language and culture of another country will provide more perspective and opportunities for education than you could get here in the US.

Maybe the company can offer up ex-pats in your top 3 countries that she can talk to for an idea on what its like?
"Improving/preserving wealthy elites will naturally benefit fewer people.

These are facts, with evidence"

You are implying, that it is a fact that right leaning people want to preserve wealthy elites.

But this is not, what I heard from right leaning people as their goals.

"Capitalism, or more specifically inequality created the tribes."

And I believe, tribes existed way before capitalism.

So I believe, that you are indeed quite extremist in your ideology, if you know as a fact, that left is good and right is bad.

There are many, many different contradicting views and concepts on the right as well on the left. To some I agree, to many I do not.

But as an example, the nazis are considered quite right usually. But it is nationalsocialism. The concept of the greater good for the people (of one race). So they are left then?

I rather think the whole left right concept is flawed and not helpful.
The German spelling reform had mixed results though. The new reform was universally accepted only by governments and schools. Various publishers have house standards and the rules were amended and partly rolled back a few times. Many polls in Germany show widespread rejection by the wider population.

> I would just need to send some money around to well-known addresses to "freeze" those wallets, too.

Easily solved by sending illicitly obtained bitcoins to the government—which they can trivially ask you to do, or automate on the exchange that you're on.

Note: people can already deposit illicit funds into your regular bank account without your permission, and it causes no difficulties.

> They would need to control the private keys in order to actually perform that confiscation.

They're not confiscating them except from private citizens complying with the law, they're freezing those wallets and the bitcoins they contain out of the legal bitcoin system entirely. The government has no need to confiscate bitcoins when it can prevent their legal use without confiscation.

I have a macbook and am happy with it, so not a hater, but...

A lot of outlets have pointed out that the M1 chip came out in this kind of interim period between Intel and AMD releases, so performance comparisons were a little misleading.

If you compare M1 chips to more recent AMD chips (I'm less clear about Intel), they're more similar. There's differences in power use and singlecore versus multicore attributes but overall they're much more similar than you'd conclude based on when M1 first came out. M1 is still very nice and efficient, but not absurdly better, or maybe even better at all.

There's a lot of issues with memory use (leaks, excessive use) on M1 laptops. There was just a post about this here on HN. The issue is sometimes raised without awareness of it as a general trend, but it keeps coming up over and over. So far I haven't seen any explanation for why it happens or how to avoid it, but it's real. Just Google "macbook memory leaks" and you'll see plenty of discussion. As far as I know, there's been some red herring solutions but no actual resolution.

That's probably correct, I did not use concepts at the moment (stuck in C++14 right now). I certainly have my beefs with both features (modules that are orthogonal to namespace, no standard way to find modules, new and exciting ways of committing ODR violations, generally a complicated module system with quirks when there is so much prior art on modules in other languages, concepts being structural and not nominal, concepts being a "lower bound" on behavior and not an "upper bound" (thus not eliminating duck typing)), but my larger point is the scope of these changes to the language, not their (purported) benefit that I'm by and large unable to assess right now.
> It would also be very hard to prove that you own a BTC wallet in a court of law.

Regulation regimes will work on a whitelist system: only wallets that are "approved" are allowed. All other wallets ("anonymous") are preemptively frozen/tainted until they are approved. Result? No more private/anonymous wallets in the "legal" bitcoin system.
