I always wondered if these parents raising test ninjas are doing their kids favors. We have google now. I don't need to know the capital of Ukraine - I can just google it. STEM is great to study, but most of the academics in it after 8th grade are not particularity useful. I still haven't been asked to solve a differential equation at work. I have never been asked what school I went to during an interview (i wished they cared).

Build a raseberry pi robot with a friend, start a club with friends, figure out how to build a fort in a tree, sell lemonade, build a website with friends, find out what you like to do <- I feel like these will be more important job skills compared to memorizing Boyle's law [ a relation concerning the compression and expansion of a gas at constant temperature 1662 ].

You will have decades of sitting, staring at broken SPA apps - smelling someone cook fish in a microwave. You will never get that 3rd grade summer back.
The World has two kind of problems:

If not, your thinking about it won’t change the outcome.
So, focus on what positive change you can make.
An idiomatic binding to wxWidgets would be a great alternative to Electron-like solutions for multi-platform GUI. AIUI, there's already a wxC project (i.e. a pure C foreign interface for wx, needed to support other bindings) and a Rust binding could be built on that.

A DAW session is like notes for writing a book. Not everything is going to make it in, and the choice of what does make it from the notes to the book, and how it's changed, is quite intentional. And I, personally, don't consider a book to be "lossy" or "unauthentic" because it doesn't also come with all the author's notes.

So, if it's not in the final mix, it's because it's not supposed to be in the final mix; it's not that the data is lost because of technical limitations. And like notes from a book, unless you throw them away, they're not going anywhere.

On a more technical note, underneath the hood, the recorded items are all stored as .wav files too...
The world seems to be betting so, and I hope it is. Unfortunately, we’ll only know with the passage of time and the load on the hospitals (as covid counting is passé). Flu-like with an annual vaccine works for me.
The fallacy of meritocracy. You stand on the shoulders of your parents.

There is some chance that US and other countries making a lot of noise about false flags set back the timetable, just enough to allow the thaw to come into play in an early thaw year. They could have had logistical difficulties just getting into formation, etc. There does not need to be just one reason, but yes covid could be one such reason.

We have two examples of Russian tanks rolling into an east European territory and taking it over almost bloodlessly. Czechoslovakia in 1968 and Crimea in 2014. I don't think it's at all absurd to think he was trying for a third.

The article describes supply line attacks as a crucial part to disrupt enemy convoys. I expect that this is what is happening behind the scenes. You need an enormous amount of fuel for this many tanks.

The thing is, ordering your student's scores from top to bottom and selecting the Nth best, is going to create a pointlessly competitive system where students strive only to get the best scores and not get actually meaningful education (ex. South Korea, China). Even things like giving more points to extra-curricular activities, volunteers, and good admission essays, are eventually going to be gamed and impose tons of unnecessary stress at the students. (And these additional 'social' metrics can hinder the selection of eccentric intellectuals, since it systematically filters out the ones regarded as "outcasts" and encourage normalcy and complacency among the students).

My proposal is then: the top X% of students based on test scores will probably have roughly similar intellectual skills, and the much more gifted 0.1% of students are not going to be revealed simply through test scores, examinations, or admission essays. So my solution: take the top X% and filter them through a lottery. In that way you can motivate students to achieve a certain baseline minimum while also minimizing the stresses of college admission (although for this to work well you also need to ensure that universities throughout the nation are funded, supported, and operated more equally, so a talented student who failed to get into one of the top-rated schools because of bad luck can still get a decent-enough education, and then transfer to a better school later)

That's a fair gripe, as an Org-mode+Emacs user. I certainly see the clunkiness you experience in its structure. But for me, I find it highly unlikely I'll ever use an editor other than Emacs for anything but basic and quick editing. For things as comprehensive as to necessitate writing in Org-mode, I'd rather do it in Emacs anyways. Need to port it to another editor? Two options: Org-export it to a more portable format, or get started on a comprehensive integration for Org-mode in the new editor.

I personally would be willing to put the time into developing Org-mode functionality on-par with Emacs, in a new editor, if the new editor were to have major advantages over Emacs. But I don't think I'll come across one for a very long time.
There are very few real think tanks left.

A typical Western "military analyst" these days often comes with a law degree, MBA, or even a financial guy, sometimes with few years of service, or a stint in Westpoint, clinging for a claim of being "serious subject matter expert," and making money off that.

As I said few times over this week, a lot of them don't even know the difference in between a tank, and an APC, so bad it is really.

And Western politicians listen to them...

An extremely disproportionate amount of the benefits of attempts to fix the damage done to black Americans goes to black elites. It's a colonial pattern, where the goal seems to be to generate a tiny clique of representatives who can be treated like diplomats/negotiators for the entire group. The problem is that black Americans are a group only to the extent that they face the same racial treatment by the US, but not through being actually coherent or deeply obligated towards one another. The bulk of black people are supposed to see "representation" and "role models" as some remediation through some trickle-down of inspiration and drive. Black people have plenty of inspiration and drive, what they lack is family wealth; paradoxically, efforts to fix that have concentrated on black people who do have family wealth.

It's annoying but obvious why Asian people would be upset; they're seeing top 0.5% privileged black people getting a benefit from a historical discrimination that has affected them the least (as compared to other black people.) But that's really what meritocracy is: the people who have the most get the most.

It certainly doesn't help that fictional depictions of black people in television and movies tend to depict them as wealthier and more educated than the white people on the same programs, and disproportionately likely to be in management positions. People are bathed in images of black elites (produced by other white people), and when hearing about Ivy League discrimination have to know who that benefits.

Thing is this is what I did up until now - I'm not a carrier guy really but technically my salary increased every time. But it didn't make me happy. So, I want to try something different.

I think that effect diminishes as speed goes up. Network speed is just one constraint that might limit me from doing things I want to do. Others are time and money.

I think we are approaching the point where network speed will be sufficient for most people that it is no longer a constraint. At that point faster networks won't really matter to most people.

No, but it does introduce other variables.

E.g. age is important for lung cancer as well as smoking. Only when controlling for age do you get correct estimate about the danger of smoking.

What other variables does "Nigerian immigrants" introduce besides skin color and culture? The latter is eliminated by most US sociologists that keep screaming "it's not about culture!" so only race remains...

> The international experts on the ground would probably not agree with that, as they were clearly stating there were no WMDs from the very beginning.

They didn't state that there no WMD, but they did refute many of the US/UK claims of specific evidence of WMD. (Some of which the Western press had actually published the receipts on, like the supposed mobile WMD labs that weren't WMD labs, and that the US and UK especially knew weren't WMD labs because the UK has sold them to Iraq.)

They also reported not finding evidence of current WMD or WMD work, but that the Iraqis were not in all aspects fully cooperative.

And the internal UK memos about how the intelligence was being fixed around the policy were also published by the press in the runup to war, among other internal leaks about the way support for the war was being manufactured by propaganda.
If you want a really good answer, read George W. Bush's memoir: Decision Points. (It's worth a read even if you hate GWB.)

To Summarize GWB's explanation: Saddam Hussain was threatening to orchestrate a terrorist attack on the US, similar to 9-11. Saddam was a dangerous dictator and orchestrating genocide. George W. Bush built an international coalition that all agreed that invasion was the appropriate response.

(Remember that the political climate at the time was that the US and the international community did not want another 9-11. Also remember that a lot of politicians panicked after 9-11.)

Bush's comments about the informant who passed us (the US) information about the weapons of mass destruction leaves a lot open for interpretation. He had to scrub confidential information out of the book. Remember, a lot of "defense" also means passing misinformation to your enemy, and if you are the recipient of misinformation, you want your enemy to think you believe it. Keep this in mind as you read Bush's explanation about the intelligence passed to us regarding the WMDs in Iraq.

(Edit: GWB gave Saddam ample time to voluntarily leave Iraq. There were arrangements made for him to have a large sum of money and protection if he stepped down.)

Pragmatically, if you don't want finds to get "overlooked", you shouldn't make them potentially very expensive to the finder.

>I wonder if they have any real contingency plans for when that thaw sets in.

The plan is/was always to control the roads and the air by then.

Even when conditions are "good" moving an army overland is absurdly less efficient than using infrastructure hence why you only ever see it for initial attack thrusts.

> Are you implying that having a neo-nazi problems justifies the invasion? Because that’s what it sounds like.

Not that I condone war, or the invasion, but going off the cuff here: If we take the context of what Russia has said, and to facts on the ground, the 2 largest Russian military operations are currently surrounding Kharkiv and Mariupol, which have shown to be 2 of the largest bases for the neo-nazi and far-right militia recruitment in Ukraine.

> There’s also some irony in dismissing this article as propaganda when all you’ve pointed out is that it, offhandedly I might say, called the situation Kremlin propaganda. Especially it since consists mostly predictions, an enormous amount of which have become true.

I don't doubt the validity of the article's predictions. I doubted the articles dismissal of the neo-nazi and far right presence as being "Kremlin propaganda". When I hear this line, it automatically makes me believe the writer is either ignorant, or intentionally spreading propaganda, as this kind of dismissal does not coincide with reality. I'm just trying to inform people, because I see this narrative constantly, and it's worth fighting back against.
The argument isn't against Asians, it's in favor of other groups.
I prefer to think of a democracy as an unstable fixed point and requires active support and maintenance by its citizens/leadership to remain close to that point.
>US interventionist foreign policy, despite its terrible track record, has really put European security and US interests at risk

Isn't it the opposite? It may be too early to tell but NATO is reinvigorated, Europe is once again turned back towards the Atlantic faction, Russia's economy is faltering, Ukraine is out performing what anyone expected militarily and Russia's army looks shambolic.

I have seen that video linked often in past month and it seems like Mearsheimer's biggest miss was how weak Russia truly is and how irrational Putin may act. If we expect Russia to fiercely defend its interest in Ukraine as IR realists then shouldn't we also expect the US to use Ukraine to twist the knife in the current Russian state?

That's a very bad faith take on their decisions.
There is a whole "OSINT" (open source intelligence) community doing just that and publishing counts. They also try to geolocate the images via terrain and buildings using maps, satellite images, etc to disambiguate.

Pretty odd way to pass the time ... but they seem to be confident in substantial Russian losses.
It is my understanding that a neighboring country has also provided MiG jet fighter aircraft to the Ukrainian air force. Good show on their part.
Considering it was written by a Turing award winner and other members of Bell Labs and Google, who not only shaped modern day computing but have been doing so for the literal 50 years you referenced, maybe you should consider that the reason that Go is popular and used in many settings is because it's good, and you're the one who is A) suffering from a bad case of Dunning–Kruger B) Have yet to learn the lessons that informed Go's feature set and philosophy. Or it could just be that everyone else is wrong. Who knows.

I wonder - would it be a good idea to release the source code a few versions old? Competitors likely already have implemented similar things so no major corporate issues. Not open source, just source-available, so no issue with Amazon running off with the code. And power users/fans can add their own additional software which likely will still work with newer versions.

Of course, I'm likely missing several things - I'd be grateful if someone could point these out. (I've been thinking of this strategy not just in this specific case but in general.)
Yeah, I agree. I use org, but if I'm writing a document I'm in Markdown, not the Org markup. It's just noisy.

It is indeed racial discrimination, but it isn't institutional racism. There is a very definite difference between the two. Lots of people on many sides of the issue like to conflate the two when it is convenient, and some are just ignorant of the difference.
