> Do you wear gloves indoors? If not, aren't your hands colder?

No and no. The temperature in my home is set just warm enough that a sweater (and let me add, shoes - insulation from the coldest air and surface in the room) keeps me comfortable. My hands don't get chilled at that temperature.

FWIW - from wilderness experience - it is widely believed that the best way to warm your hands is often to warm your core. Your body naturally prioritizes your core (probably better to keep your heart at 37 C and let your hands get a little chilly than vice versa!); keep that warm enough and energy/blood will be diverted to keeping your extremities warm.
As a counterpoint - camping is famously hated by a significant portion of the population.
i haven't done extensive research so there could be thinner gloves out there, but i bought a pair of "edz merino fingerless gloves" a few months ago and they are less restrictive than the pair i had before

still end up with cold-ish fingers though which feels similar enough to cold hands. im thinking what i need is something like mittens but instead of something that wraps around your fingers, it would just rest on top and keep the air off while your fingers are free to move underneath
“The Center for Study of Partisanship and Ideology (CSPI) is a right-of-center think tank which studies biases in the media, universities, and the scientific community. The organization primarily reports on bias against conservatives. CSPI provides research grants of $2,000-$15,000 to applicants to study incidents or trends of bias against conservatives.”
Some warm socks might help too.
Classical Mechanics by Taylor

Relearning mechanics from first principles is fun!
By “debt” I meant bonds, US Treasuries for example. Is there a way to render them worthless only to Russia?

Edit: In case it is not obvious, by not honouring future coupon and principal repayments
Beating STS is a test of adaptability; the game is hard, and getting long winstreaks is not an easy feat (or winning at all).

The game has enough variety that getting a streak of "favorable" seeds is not going to happen. You might get a truly heinous seed that is basically unbeatable no matter what you do, but most seeds will be beatable exactly because you know the possible challenges so you can make decisions that give you the best chance of defeating them.
Why China Is Struggling to Deal with Russia’s War in Ukraine
If you play real roguelikes then you are probably old enough to remember the days when games starte to add "RPG Elements" to their genre description. "RPG Elements" meant then that there was some way to level up and gain stats or skills or something like that. Nowadays these games usually just tack on the word RPG if they really want to emphasize that skill trees are a meaningful part of gameplay.

A similar thing happened here, originally a few games were "inpsired by roguelikes" and then had "roguelike elements". Nowadays if it has procedural generation and some form of permadeath it is a roguelike. Recently I've heard that it was common to use "roguelite" if there's some important meta-progression where you get significantly more powerful between runs (like Rogue Legacy) and "roguelike" if the meta progression mostly just unlocks new stuff for runs and doesn't make you significantly stronger (arguably like The Binding of Isaac). I won't be surprised if the meaning changes even further before really settling.
Lock files enable reproducibility of “builds”.

For example, if there is a reported problem in production, with lock files I can check out the same commit and be able reproduce (if the provided steps are correct).

Without lock files one or more dependency versions might be higher on my machine than production and then I don’t know if failure to reproduce is because of the steps I’m trying or because the problem doesn’t exist in the updated dependencies.

And then because not all package maintainers are good about following semantic versioning, the build on the CI server can sometimes break itself due to dependency updates which aren’t backwards compatible.

Version range dependencies seem like a nice solution, but in practice I’ve found them to be a nightmare.
I’m Russian. I’m ashamed to be Russian. I do think that it’s right to approach and declare your position. It’s a collective responsibility.
Hey! I'm one of the researchers that work on this topic. We think one of the powerful things about minimal languages is that they help people to think more clearly about what they want to say. Our main goal is the cross-translatability aspect, so we choose words and syntax which exist in the maximum number of languages for what we want to convey. We can't always be 100% cross-translatable (the foundation, NSM, is for that), but we can do what we can with the context and the intended audiences.

In the example sentence, in Minimal English, we could say "Do not go near the landing gear. 5m is too close." This still has some problems (e.g. people aren't good at estimating distance) but the verb "go" is better than "approach". The comparison "too" isn't necessarily translatable, but it probably okay for this context.
IMAP just download the index, not the content.

When you click on an email - then it'll download that email. Attachment is also probably you have to click it too.

That's just not feasible when you (turned out to have) nearly 150 K emails in your Gmail account.
I'd recommend the sauna as an alternative... I'm really interested in the homestead movement and one thing thats promoted is the rocket stove, I've often wondered how such a design might work out if you used it for cooking while using the residual heat for a hot "sauna" wall in the next room...
OK, try 65. IME, most people can turn down the thermostat and still be perfectly comfortable; just find the approximate minimum you need for comfort.
Because Russian propaganda is not on Fox news, but in Russian media, of course. Why would they care about the west, unlike Ukraine that badly needs western support? And Russian media is full of the positive propaganda right now.
Dang, sorry. I cannot edit the comment, but if you could replace "Russian" with "Please remember that", than this would make my comment substantial and also side agnostic.

> I seriously think that about 3/4 of Europeans could get by without any heating for about 3/4 of winter time.

The temperatures in UK are stable during the day due to sea climate. In Central Europe we get +/- 10 degrees during the day. This is completely different story from temperature comfort/security perspective. That's why we overinsulate and overheat our houses and why we tend to have higher temperatures inside then Brits.

My Italian friend laughed that he immediately recognized Poles in Italy because in August they had blanklets and sweaters at hand. We just always expect temperatures to drop suddenly by 10 degrees.

Even on British Airways planes temperatures are lower then on other airlines...

Al-Qaeda are foreigners, yes, but that was because of their very founding as a force of volunteers to help the Afghans during their war with the Soviets. They were trained by the Americans as part of the cold war, but their real friends were the Taliban and everybody knew it. You can say "they weren't going to be arsed to[...]" but the reality is that they were close friends. If they weren't, the Taliban could have easily retained power by inviting the Americans in to aid their capture.

As for why Nato stayed so long in Afghanistan, it is difficult to imagine now, but 20 years ago we had just won a giant string of wars and in most of them democracy was installed and life got better for everyone. We tried to make it work in Afghanistan too, but it didn't work for a multitude of reasons.

Anyway, with respect, I was talking about Article 5 and the defensive alliance that is Nato. Countries within Nato can choose to go to war outside of A5, but they are only compelled to help under it.
That’s because a bank got sued for it, and lost. The banks must now always reorder or keep it in the order it was received. I only bank with the latter ones.
These ideas come from thinktanks and their partner media prioritizing certain ideas over others.

Usually, behind these, are certain market interests.

They talk about "Gaia" in context of "species extinction" (as if Gaia would care about unviable species going extinct) or "pollution" but limit it to a scale that is important to their bottomline.

You will never hear them talk about how CO2 levels have been much much higher before and Gaia was fine for all those millions of years... in fact Gaia would love for humans to pump out fossilized carbon into the atmosphere or at least shallow earth so that it can come back to circulation. But that is not the narrative that is convinient to their bottomline.

Similarly, having low intelligence species which are not able to protect Gaia from external threats such as asteroid impacts or alien invasion are of little importance to Gaia. Also, Gaia knows that humans are not the "final" species. Species can diversify into several species. So, she wouldn't be worried about things like some wolf sub-species going extinct.

I am not saying there is a definitely a coherent super-intelligence in life and I am not saying it can't exist. What I am saying is that the people imagining this are imagining this from their own interests and are anthropomorphising it so that it is marketable.
That was exceptional, they also should have had decent profits in 2019 due to a transfer ban ( so they couldn't spend money on players), but since 2020 they've spent more than 250 million on new acquisitions, and will need to continue to do so ( they're going to lose more than half their defence this summer).
> Do Visual Studio/C# coders typically see the many different universes of tooling outside of the limited MS Stack as childish or less evolved?

Don’t extrapolate too much from N=1. I used to work in a shop that mainly uses Microsoft technology. From those dozens of engineers, I don’t think I’ve ever heard that opinion. I would say the opposite, my impression was that most of them were quite happy with the increasing Unix-ification of Microsoft’s stack.
I think a passive house design would be excellent for you.

Highly insulated, air tight (but vapor permeable) building envelope. Constant intake of fresh air to bedrooms living rooms, filtered and passed through a heat exchanger to heat or cool it with air exhausted from kitchen and bathrooms.

They generally cost about ~25% more than a standard code-built house (unless you want a lot of windows), but cost much less to heat and cool. They're also more comfortable and have less pollen, dust, and even insects.
> I don’t want to walk around with piles of movement limiting and suffocating clothing inside my own living room.

That is a strawperson - People wear a sweater all the time - they are pretty popular, believe it or not - without wearing "piles", having their movement limited, or even suffocating. If you find yourself suffocating when wearing sweaters, see a doctor!

Holy cow, the burden of wearing a sweater is just incredible in some of these comments!
> Iraq saw lots of Civilian casualties and we are not seeing it in this invasion.

Yes, we are.

> Infrastructure is intact, electricity and internet is working.

Yes, the concept of operations is a quick decapitation (“Demilitarization”, “Denazification”, or “Decommunisation”, depending on Putin’s mood at the moment) strike followed by installing a productive puppet regime.

> There is no vibe of an occupation.

That’s because they haven’t gotten to the occupation point, they are still trying to achieve initial control.

> There seem to be no embedded journalism from Russians.

As if all the information being canned, centralized propaganda, that doesn't require any contact with the real facts on the ground is a good thing?

> If US was directly invoked, 10 fact checking orgs would have propped by now and started warning on game videos being spread.

Numerous fact checkers have done that.

> At the end it is still an invasion and Ukrainians will be killed and come under an occupation, but US is more ruthless with its occupations.

That is rather premature.
Thanks guys - but I'd like to have my own copy of my emails.

Computer Networking: A Top-down Approach, Jim Kurose

I read this about 2 years into my study of CS. I found the design of the internet, at times intentional and very often emergent / working around constraints, absolutely fascinating. I couldn’t help feeling that algorithms were things I could pull off the shelf but protocols were something I’d need to be able to design well throughout my career.

I was trying to create a script which will create a backup of my whole Google Drive. Let's see if I can find it.
I have actually used the fact that you can "easily" read these projects by eye in the past.

1. Some tracks have some really odd BPMs ... not 127, but 127.0346867 or something. Live unfortunately only ever shows two digits in the clip view. So if after a while you want to know the exact bpm you figured out, you have a slight problem: But, the XML exposes the accurate value. Unfortunately not for the global project BPM, though ... so don't figure out a bpm via that ...

2. I was reconstructing some film music stuff and needed copy clip fades exactly to another clip, but those clips didn't originally start and end at the same time (so any solution regarding replacing the source file wouldn't have worked). So I manually copied the clip fades in the XML somehow, I don't exactly remember how it worked, but I did get the exact same fades in the end.

They only switched to this format with Live 9 btw, Live 8 uses some proprietary binary format.
Guess I struck a chord somewhere.
Yes! We think that minimal languages can be used for this. We're trying to identify now what that core 300-ish words is across as many languages as we can, and some of us are promoting it as a potential core for language learning. We also think that because NSM/minimal languages are designed for paraphrasing concepts, it is a powerful tool for language learners to be able to express themselves and complex ideas, even with a small vocabulary.

An introduction to Genetic Algorithms by Melanie Mitchell. I picked it up in a charity bookstore believe it or not and it prompted a lifetime interest in data science and the field that turned into machine learning.

Purely functional data structures by Chris Okasaki. Just totally changed my perspective about all sorts of things in computer science. As well as being one of the most advanced comp-sci books I've ever read, it's truly mind-expanding in every possible way. How many comp-sci books have you read that make you question how something as basic as a number is stored?
Study Java and C# to be "enterprisey"...

What's their definition of "enterprisey"? It feels somewhat like an implied perjorative.

Maybe this could be rephrased as "study Java/C# to understand why many businesses choose these languages to build things that make them money"?
The electric mandolin tested only has four strings. An eight string electric mandolin would sound much more like the acoustic one.
As if the 2.5 years delay to market wasn't enough, Microsoft also decided to invent a whole new UI paradigm for Windows Phone 7. I really want to know what went on when they made that decision.
We're working on doing this as much as we can. There are projects in Danish, Finnish, English, Mandarin, Spanish, and smaller projects in other languages happening at the moment. Someone in Denmark has already done "The Ugly Duckling" in Minimal Danish (can't find link atm, sorry).
It's sad people don't realize how careful with civilian casualties Russia is, and how in contrast US was brutal in Iraq war.

As you mentioned, civil services are all operational, there are no drone strikes based on questionable intel, artillery strikes are focused and kept on the minimum.

On the other side, we see Ukraine giving weapons and instructing citizens on how to fight, which can only become a disaster.
I don't know about Ukraine specifically, but DSL is still really important in Europe.
> camping is famously hated by a significant portion of the population

Not very famously, because I haven't heard that. Some people don't like it, I have no doubt. No matter what is suggested, nay-sayers can point to some people not liking it; what does it mean? And the people who don't like camping likely object to other aspects of it - just random chance among many aspects, and many much more burdensome such as carrying all your stuff, the food, less personal sanitation, no TV, no sushi or pizza delivery, etc. etc. I don't recall hearing anyone in my life object to fresh air, but I'm sure someone does!
Great choice. Pharo deserves more attention for those wanting to do OOP.
Apostol Calculus Vol 1

The introduction gives a history lesson, a great description of the method of exhaustion with descriptive drawings, and some very straightforward proofs on finding the area under the curve for parabolic segments via some basic infinite sums (no limits), all in 10 pages in a conversational style. And it just gets better from there.

My dad gave me his book he used in the 70s and I read it in high school in parallel to the textbook the school issued. Everyone thought I was some genius because I thought calculus was so obvious and I could explain it so well but I was just parroting the text and proofs from this book, basically verbatum. I told the other kids to use it as well but no one did.
I love the effort. Using a password for so much stuff these days just seems insane forcing me to remember a lot of passwords or be bogged down with a password manager.

Relying on google auth is too risky as google can just pull the carpet on any user. I do like a key management type solution with a backup factor like maybe emails and phones (2
of N kinda thing) if keys get lost. Google Authenticator (ironically!) would be a cool way to do it and keep sites siloed while using the same mechanism to log into each of them.

For many things a “scan this qr on your phone to log in” type mechanism linked to a key management app that calls an endpoint would be ideal - we tend to keep our phones working, charged and functioning in these post pandemic days. In Australia you can have your vax, covid check in, driving license, credit card of course, and various government vouchers all on the phone.

As much as I hate that for various 1984ish reasons, Im glad iPhone exists and is privacy centric, fairly robust and secure and with something like GA I feel quite safe logging into most sites that kind of way. Guess I am spoilt that an iPhone isn’t financially a stretch, i hope key chain type devices can be sold for $1 and stuck on your keyring with 12 words in a safe place for those
who cant afford this luxury. I have’t looked into it.

I could then share authentication for certain things like say amazon prime with trusted people. There is this middle ground between individual and corporate (families/startups/friendship groups) that would be catered for here.

Tldr; passwords suck!
Weirdly, it's the people producing the language that seem to have this hangup. The people we've surveyed who are reading and listening to it, love it.
Many good suggestions here. It's also the case that the 3rd book you read on a topic often makes more sense than the 2nd, and 4th more than the 3rd. Understanding is cumulative, so it's not a question of "which" book, but "how many".

You just argued that running (100m, marathon, etc) is not competitive, that weightlifting is not competitive, that bowling is not competitive, that target shooting is not competitive. Just achievements.

That's fine, you can humpty-dumpty words all you like, but everyone else thinks that those things can be competitive.

However, note that literally the entire point of the author of the blog post is that he doesn't want to be competitive and does not see his own behaviour as competitive, but rather as collaborating on achievement, so it's super weird that you're snarking on him.

Yes, absolutely.

Learning Perl was the first book I did any kind of programming with, though I didn't end up sticking with Perl.

Learning C# 3.0 made me finally get OO programming and that was when I first started writing programs that did much of anything.

Discrete Mathematics by Epp gave me a basic grounding in the math I needed to understand CS books.

The Algorithm Design Manual by Skiena and Algorims by Sedgewick and Wayne helped me start to understand the "CS" side of programming.

Tanenbaum's Operating Systems textbook taught me a fair bit about operating systems and concurrency.

I'm sure you could have used a different series but without these I wouldn't know how to program, let alone have made a job of it.

So Russian leaders will just switch to a not-sanction bank, and continue business as usual.
