Nothing adjacent to what most people consider "work".

I found that almost all "professional" structures immediately turned into some sort of schizophrenic "cus covid" nightmare and as far as I can tell they're still doing it.

I had no interest in that stuff so I just did my own thing. Self study, social meetup groups, travel, etc.

I was almost ten years in to my career in early 2020 so I can afford to not maximise income. I feel sorry for the new graduates that now just have yet another thing to hate the older generations for.

Even just small things. The university interview. Putting on a suit and tie and meeting _their people_ in a big hall for the first time. Life-defining.
> Why nails? They are a basic manufactured product whose form and quality have changed relatively little over the last three centuries

While 'somewhat' true, its also untrue.

Modern nails are different from the nails in the 60's.

Modern nails are rounded. Many of the 1960s nails are square with sharp edges, a completely different manufacturing technique. I imagine that these were either forged in shape or cut from square stock and mashed to a sharper point.

The 1960's nails also have a square head and were made of a weaker iron, but because of their square edges they 'cut' their way into the wood and didn't need to be as strong as rounded 'modern' nails.

Modern rounded nails are cut from a wire and a point is 'cut' into the edge and a head is crushed from the top of the wire.

Anyways.. things change, and i imagine they changed before the 1960's square nails too, I just don't know about them.
I'm sorry. I'm interested in this question: Did seeing and rasing that affect your career path thereafter? Whether by your own choice or otherwise.

That’s plausible but makes him look rather gullible at not only having bought into that lie but using the example as evidence of the supposed inferiority of ad agencies.

I’m not a politically adept person but even I can see that it puts into question his decision making skills as a CEO of a crypto firm. People in leadership positions generally need to be really good at calling bullshit otherwise they get surrounded by pliant yes-men.
The Westphalian regime is long dead. Minor breaches haves happened before. Then major ones, like the Nuremberg trials. The internet finally killed it. Nation states routinely engage in internet crimes, for theft of money and IP, denial of service, and (still rare) property damage.

This is the world we built together, where we can cause harm to anyone across the world without leaving home.
I'm not sure I understand you. Are you saying that the problem is selecting the right model out of all the available choices, or are you saying that there aren't models available at TV quality/prices?

Regarding the former, the website does have quite a few filters (though the navigation isn't the best but it works).

For the latter, yes quality can be quite a hit-and-miss when purchasing but prices are very reasonable. There may be a ~10-15% markup compared to a large-scale razor-thin margin monitor being sold at nearly a loss on Amazon, but most products are quite reasonably priced.

Re: the quality, if you're talking about advanced features you may be able to contact the distributors/manufacturers on the website selling them and ask them to make a custom order with more features (eg an extra port) for a slight price, though this varies.
Thank you! Great link

If the CEO of a financial services company is both willing to lie to the public and is willing to have the public believe he is a liar, that is a bigger red flag than if he was just ignorant to the details of how an idea for an ad originated.
They didn't pay this person's agency, they just stole their idea and then went with a different "creative firm."
I'm going to give those a read. Thanks!
Your statement about your sample code is incorrect - just confirmed it for myself (cpython 3.8.3 is what was handy). Just add those print statements to the example in the article (before/after labels make analysis easier) and also add a set of threads that just do 'x = 0'.
I hadn't realized how valuable and useful nails were until I toured Monticello, and there was a nailery out back. I.e. you couldn't just go buy a bag of nails, you had to make them yourself.

> Reactive Oxygen Species is also reportedly quite harmful but I guess everything has its place.

Yes, I think it does. Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are generated as part of the metabolic pathway. That is in processes essential for life. Though the details of the biochemistry are beyond me, I recall Cytochrome c oxidase [1] produces H+ used to power ATP generation. Along the way it produces ROS. Of course there are other mechanisms for neutralizing the ROS. The point is ROS probably not something to get too agitated about.

Odd to see them arguing for credit over the worst ad of the Superbowl. That ad seemed like something my son would have turned in after forgetting the homework was due today.
So I walked that street _everyday_ when I was in elementary/middle/high school! My family lives within 3 blocks from there. The one you refer to specifically is a really walkable neighborhood one, I'd guesstimate 95-99% of the people who buy there go/leave walking. Spanish people living in cities/towns don't take the car for grocery shopping, in fact we do make fun of US that need to take the car for that! Only if you live in the outskirts of the city/town/countryside you'd take the car for shopping.

Note: given the area of that one, I'd also guesstimate the vast majority of the people parking in that Mercadona were JUST using it as a random short-term parking, not as the supermarket parking! Like if you go to the area you park there, then do your business/visit your friend/whatever, then maybe buy a couple of things in Mercadona so the parking is free (and you probably needed those things for the week anyway). At least that's how locals would use that parking, because: if you live within 3-4 blocks you'd walk, if you live further than 4 blocks you'd go to another Mercadona that is within 3 blocks of your home, and if you live very far away you'd drive to a larger supermarket on the outskirts, not to this small one in the city center (except, as I said, if you have other business to attend there and then you use the parking as a convenience, and buy something for free parking).

If you have a thread decrease the value of x then of course it's possible for x to decrease in value. The point is if you have a bunch of threads where every thread only ever increases the value of x like in the article then in Python it will never be the case that the value of x decreases.

In languages were data races are possible you can have every thread only ever increment x, and yet x's value will decrease due to a data race.

Python's GIL will protect against data races, meaning that certain classes of bugs where a specific memory location takes on a completely arbitrary value will never be observed from a Python program.

>you can't consider a part of the body as if it were it's own isolated system
True, we cant control where some chemicals go in the body, but this is where the pathways come into play or the other chemicals in a meal. For example, there is reportedly a gut receptor for copper or zinc which can take upto about 800mg a day, but copper and zinc are competing obviously.
Other factors include say tea drinking, wear https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/food-science/phytate inhibit copper, zinc and iron iirc.

So when thinking about say supplementing, sometimes the delivery mechanism or consumption format doesnt help.

Vitamin K1 doesnt appear to have an upper limit if taken orally, but inject it and you will get a reaction.

Its like a complex chemical maths puzzle, but by bit studies give us a range of info and its a case of piecing it all together. In some cases studies dont even exist!
I work in bioinformatics, where the underlying technology changes often enough that you don't have to think too much about portability. If a new fundamentally different system emerges, my old code will probably be obsolete before I have to think about supporting it on the new system. I was around during the 32-bit/64-bit transition (which was painful), and I've been porting code targeting x86 to ARM (which is usually not). Here are some thoughts I've had about portability and system features:

Your code includes your build system and dependency management. If they are not portable, your code is not portable.

I'm a language descriptivist. A standard is an imperfect attempt at describing a language. When the compiler and the standard disagree, the compiler is right, because it decides what the code will actually do.

OpenMP is an essential part of C/C++. Compilers that don't support it can't compile code that claims to be C/C++.

There is no point in pretending that you support systems you don't regularly use. In my case, portability means supporting Linux and macOS, x86 and ARM, GCC and Clang, but not in all combinations.

Portability, simplicity, and performance form a triangle. You can choose two and lose the third, or you can make compromises between them.

Pointers are 64-bit. If they are not, you need a lot of workarounds for handling real data, because size_t is too small.

Computers are little-endian, because that enables all kinds of convenience features such as using data from memory-mapped files directly.

Compilers should warn you if you use integer types of platform-dependent width, unless the width is required to be the same as pointer width. And except as argc and related variables.
I think the Joplin model is great. The application is just an application, but you can sync your notes using WebDAV.
I'm more interested what happens, when we kill of the last of the insects by those pesticides, and the effect goes up the food chain.

You seem to define immortality as "cannot ever die even if you want to" which is not the usual definition. In that case it seems dangerous yes.

It's even better because, Rogan and Dr Seuss are still there and nothing really bad happened to them at all. This person you're replying to is acting like they're a crusader of truth against evil when all it is is people have complained a bit about something. Who is the one over-reacting?

I found this to be an enlightening and fun article. The one negative I would flag is that it is US-centric and - while nails did not change much during that period - the US was created as a collection of states while being settled by colonizers. That was a very disruptive geographic phase.

It would probably be more useful to have run a similar study against Europe during this period. While the formation of nation states and the industrial revolution would be substantial socio-economic activities, the relative change was less.

Why would you need advertising or even make money in the traditional sense for that matter? We have seen how social media companies have entered into overt political actions to control narratives. Trump is attempting to build his own version of this. And it's still early but he's not doing a bad job so far, he's raking in tons of money from investors. These "investors" aren't looking to make money, they are investing in political influence similar to those people who were pumping billions into the Clinton foundation to buy access/influence.

"Clearly vendors and users are at odds with each other here; vendors want the best benchmarks (so you can sort by speed descending and pick the first one), but users want their files to exist after their power goes out."

I think they are selling snake-oil, otherwise known as commiting fraud. Maybe they made a mistake in design, and at the very least they should be forced to recall faulty products. If they know about the problem and this behaviour continues ait is basically a fraud.

We allow this to continue, and the manufacturers that actually do fulfill their obligations to the customer suffer financially, while unscurpulous ones laugh all the way to the bank.
The people who sell you stuff usually need guidance on pricing and they will usually want to quickly move the money to a more stable currency once the sale is made.

For all this, they go to the gatekeepers.

And likewise, you need to decide if the price you're about to pay is reasonable and fair. And for this, you go to the gatekeepers --- because there is no reasonable alternative.

This is a side issue, but I wonder what changes could be made to the teaching of statistics, most importantly "stats for scientists" taught in college and even high school. What occurs to me right off the bat is that I learned stats by the use of formulas to boil data sets down to answers. For example, null hypothesis significance testing and the dreaded p-value. We had to do it this way, as widespread availability of computers was still on the horizon.

Today, computation is easy and cheap. I wonder if we could learn stats in a different way, perhaps starting by just playing with data, and simulated random numbers, graphing, and so forth. Can something like null hypothesis testing be taught primarily through bootstrapping, with the formulas introduced as an aside?

Yes I know that statistics is a formal branch of math, with theorems and proofs. I took that class. But the students who take "stats for scientists" don't ever see that side of it. Understanding the formulas without seeing the proofs is like trying to learn freshman physics without calculus.
D can indeed do it. But that is way too advanced for what C is.

I'll repeat that if metaprogramming is important to you, you need a more advanced language. Why are you using C if you want advanced features?
The video was made February 15th, weeks into the blockade, and long after it was painfully clear that the public was turning dramatically against the convoy. At this point the Premier of Ontario and the federal government were openly discussing measures to squash the occupation.

A week earlier the organizers had quietly dropped their memorandum of understanding's insurrection demands.

"Completely ignore the reasonable take, pick up much crazier demands made by a different person"

What I described were the demands in effect by the organizers for weeks. In interviews with convoy participants, zero of them seemed to believe that removing a border vaccine requirement (completely and utterly irrelevant given that the US government has their own mandate that makes Canada's extraneous) would be enough for them to go home.
To be fair, I banished capslock from my keyboard in favor of ctrl 17 years ago and haven't looked back.
The problem is that without annotations, injecting behavior or doing any sort of metaprogramming is nigh impossible. Higher-order functions aren't fun to deal with in Java, even in the post-Java-8 world.

When thinking about cell signalling and sensing, I wonder if a group of cells generate ROS to "nuke" a faulty cell, I say nuke because ROS will destroy surrounding healthy cells.

The problem with this theory, is its hard to see it working in anything other than a test tube!

Lets face its not like we can audit each and every cell, its contents and condition in a body is it!?!

Sure we can use some magnetic spin with some chemicals, or radioactice isotopes with others, but the sensing equipment is what holds us back with in vivo studies, so then its back to the patient provided metadata to form an opinion.
