No, a positron is a lepton but a neutron is not. Since lepton number must be conserved, these two will not annihilate with each other. Similarly, one has a positive charge and the other neutral, so electric charge would not be conserved either.

Are you thinking of a neutron plus an antiproton? Those can annihilate with each other. They are not direct antiparticles of each other, but the neutron is really an up quark and two down quarks, while the antiproton is really two anti–up quarks and an anti–down quark. There are several different ways that they could annihilate with each other.

Worse, all hadrons (like neutrons and protons) contain a confined gluon field which you can think of as containing additional quark–antiquark pairs. There’s a chance that the gluon fields of the two particles will interact as if a quark–antiquark pair from one had annihilated with a quark–antiquark pair from the other, further complicating the results. This can cause the creation of other exotic particles as the quarks combine and recombine.

You can read more about it on Wikipedia, of course: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annihilation

I think my confusion is based on what "local" means in that article. My interpretation was literally the City of Boston, vs the regional catchment area for a team's fan base. Tourism in the umich article, and the sources it cites, is region to region. i.e. Someone coming from NH to Boston wouldn't be considered tourism as that's intra-region travel.

Looking at the study the umich study notes that stadium would little effect on net regional exports, which makes sense. However, that betters supports "governments shouldn't pay for stadiums" as a conclusion than narrowly defining it as "cities". That said, the fans come for the team more than they do for the stadium, and I agree with the conclusion that governments shouldn't be paying for these things.

>I think git popularized versioning systems in the first place as many developers just didn't use them at all.

I think you didn't know many developers before ~2005[0], maybe? Or perhaps [almost] no professional devs before about then?

I was personally introduced to formal version control in 2004 (as the org I interned with went from CVS[1] to SVN[2]), but pretty much every developer I know was using it way before then

Heck! Forms of version control date back ~60 years at this point[3]

Specifically in regards to 2: Canada constructed 244,025 new homes in 2021[0] (this includes new condos and apartments). By comparison, Canada allowed 401,000 new permanent residents through immigration in 2021[1]. Now obviously some of those immigrants are going to be families that only need one home, but basically almost all of the new housing supply being created in Canada is so small that it could be bought up by the new permanent resident population. And that's before you get into temporary visas, asylum seekers, illegal immigrants, and foreign investors buying up housing as a store of wealth and letting it sit vacant, and we haven't even gotten into the demand from the rising generation of young Canadians looking to enter the housing market.

Actually the "raw" data coming from most cameras are often already compressed somehow, otherwise the camera would not be able to write it to storage (or send it over USB) fast enough.

In fact since decoding also often happens in hardware, the raw size may never materialize anywhere in the pipeline, other than the framebuffer of the video card. Even HDMI has compression now [0]

The author probably choose a screenshot as a benchmark, because otherwise it's hard to get your hands on anything compressible but not already compressed.
To nitpick: Software can give you faster effective download speeds. Compression is software. Parallelization across multiple hosts is achieved in software.

It really depends on the cause of the bottleneck. Sometimes you need capabilities on both ends though.

Also, while I'm nitpicking: "xdm" is and will always be the X Display Manager. :(
In my opinion, that's a main reason developers should favor open source tools, they never truly 'go away'. The code is out there, so keeping it going then comes down to whether someone cares enough to maintain it. Not saying that path is all roses...
I used a lot of download managers and accelerators back in the dial-up times, they seemed like magic to me, plus being able to resume a download after somebody picked up the phone and dropped my internet connection was a plus!

How is it that they work, that is the accelerator part? My guess is an algo to find the optimal amount of parallel downloads?

Edit: also with parallel downloads, is it possible to do a HTTP GET with an bytes offset? With video I guess it’s possible to select what part to stream, but with regular http download I’m not sure

The only drawback I see with the shuffling is that I do not want to drag my pan on the induction table itself, something I would do on a gas appliance (because the thing you put the pan on (surrounding the flame) is not fragile).

I do not know actually if this is a real concern but would prefer others to chek instead of me :)

As for the "flame" - I feel that the heating with induction is much faster and consistent than gas.
> but feeling (physically) younger

I get the idea that 'feeling' young depends a lot on attitude but as a 60-year old (who tries to remain active) I understand that I no longer have the eyesight, hearing, coordination, balance and resilience of 20 year-old me. When I was younger lots of little health niggles, aches and pains would quickly go away, now they persist and have to be tolerated and exercised around. I think that 'feeling young' (which you rightly emphasize) is more about realistically accepting limitations and carrying on rather than self-deception that you aren't old.

[Edit] Another example of 'oldness'. I've been using keyboards and other UI devices for more than 40 years. My typing is pretty fast now, but gradual deterioration in memory and hand-eye coordination mean that I cannot navigate a mouse-based menu system as fast as I could once. This effect is significant for aging gamers in situations where actions-per-minute are important.

“Effective” is a separate axis to “what J. Average wants”.

For example, a government may want to circumvent encryption: if they tried to do this by requiring the SQL tables to be mauve “because that has the most RAM”, that would be ineffective; conversely if they passed a law requiring backdoors in everything, while this would be bad for many reasons, it would definitely have an effect.

I agree with Neil Gaiman. GRRM doesn't owe anyone anything. Some in the fandom are particularly obnoxious, like when they warned him "not to pull a 'Robert Jordan'" (i.e. dying before completing the saga). George was right to lash out at them.

That said...

I think sagas like A Song of Ice and Fire are not exactly the kind of standalone literature were it's reasonable to pay for the book you're reading, and anything else is an extra. They are more like a TV show, even if HBO's didn't exist. We accept that fans protest the cancellation or bad endings of shows they love, and ASoIaF is very much a TV show in book form.

So GRRM doesn't owe fans anything. But it's also reasonable for fans to be upset and vocal about the lack of progress of this TV-show-in-book-form saga.

Also: I might be a minority that enjoys the journey more than the destination, so I enjoy reading about these noble houses, their family mottos, their vendettas, but even then in a work like this they are all in service of a satisfying payoff. This isn't an experimental "high literature" set of novels. Not providing this payoff would be like Agatha Christie never revealing "whodunnit" in one of her mystery novels.
Similar to #1:

One summer night I was having difficulty falling asleep, my mind was racing, so I read a book until my eyes couldn't stay open. I had a very vivid and lucid dream. It was like I was driving on winding and curving roads through the hills/bluffs. Then I began going faster and faster and faster. I felt terrified. Normally in my lucid dreams I can take control of what is happening. I tried to slow things down. But in this dream I couldn't which made me feel even more terrified! Then I saw and felt it all go slow motion and felt like I was falling back and to my side and sliding on the roadway. Then everything froze. I woke up frightened! I said some prayers and asked for comfort. Then I heard a strange (yet slightly recognizable) sound in my room. I was frozen stiff, scared to move. I felt someone in the room. The sound repeated a few times. Not knowing what to do I made the same sound with my mouth. I got goosebumps and chills that ran all over my body. But I felt a bit less scared and a bit more at peace. I was able to say a short prayer and fall back asleep. The next morning I found out that my cousin had died the previous evening in a motorcycle accident while driving along and through the river bluffs. His back tire hit some loose sand/gravel and he ended up in the ditch. He wasn't wearing a helmet at the time. :( The sound I heard in my room that night was one he used to make all the time when we were young.
All of these things interact and affect one another. Say you're living in some common marginal situation working a low-wage job with high rent. Some event happens where suddenly you require a few hundred dollars, nothing serious for most of us here but the sort of thing that happens every year or two - maybe your ancient car you have to use to commute to your job conks out, maybe you have a common medical issue requiring care and time off work, maybe your dental work can no longer be ignored, maybe you need an abortion because the idea of having a child in this situation is too ridiculous to even consider. This shock makes you short on rent. Maybe you're able to recover the next month, but maybe not. Ideally you have family you can fall back on. If not, now you're homeless.

Without housing it is massively more difficult and time-consuming to perform basic maintenance acts like showering, shaving, defecating, or feeding yourself. Think of any camping trip you've gone on. It's easy to start slipping at your job and you're much more likely to be fired. But say you really hustle and actually keep your job, like many unhoused people.

Without a safe place to retreat to & relax, without a quiet place to sleep undisturbed by cars roaring by, you enter a spiral. Your mental health, already not great after years of stress associated with your marginal financial situation, decreases markedly and then drops off a cliff. You become deeply depressed or are unlucky enough to finally trigger more serious mental health disorders that have been lurking, waiting for the chance to rear their heads. It's very easy to stop showing up for your job here, but you still manage to put yourself together and drag yourself over there pretty well. Your coworkers start to complain about the way you smell. Your physical health begins to deteriorate.

At any stage of this process your plunge could have been arrested by a supportive family. And at any stage in this process your plunge could have been massively accelerated by the introduction of drug use. Once mental health starts to go, self-medicating seems more and more appealing. Few joys are left available to you. For most unhoused people, it's only a matter of time.

Once you are addicted to drugs all of the difficulties enumerated above are multiplied. It is extremely difficult to kick drugs in the best of times (how many of us know of some well-off family with a black sheep child who has been to family-funded rehab nearly double-digit times?) and now there is basically no incentive nor ability to do so. Mental health issues are also extremely difficult to heal. Many of us here have been depressed and understand how difficult it is to recover even in good economic circumstances.

The absolute best you can hope for upon escaping all of this is to return to a marginal low-wage high-rent existence doing its best to kick you back down the cycle.

The #1 takeaway here is that people like to talk about homeless people with mental health or drug addiction issues, and it is impossible not to admit the simple truth - their recovery is impossible without being given housing. A safe place to retreat, rest, and convalesce.

I think you are probably correct, and I was mostly being blithe in my original remark. However, I think the way of the world is that if Martin or Rothfuss or Jordan didn't exist in our reality, two things would happen.

One, someone else would have risen up in their place and produced equally or more magnificent works that were as impactful as what we're is being discussed. Read up on Harry Seldon's work for more about this theory.

Two, the OP to whom I was responding would have been affected by one of those works in a similar manner to how they were affected by our timeline's original. The idea here being, the work is unique and dramatic, yes, but a person will always find something to cling to and what attracts them is as much about the person as it is about the art itself. It isn't as if the generations that existed before GRRM had no noteworthy literature in their lives.

No, but HBO did, he (co?)wrote Fire and Blood to give them material for a new GoT style TV show; they probably paid him so much to cram its writing in between the mainline ASoIaF books. On top of the licenses for the once popular TV show.

Right? Like the whole open source movement was a massive political thing... Open source by definition is political.
Absolutely. I have personal experience with having a family member who was homeless due to mental health issues. Unfortunately, housing was not the solution for them nor was it the right solution. They were homeless for a couple of years before volunteering to be committed. Due to their illness, it was not safe to house them with family or around others who are on the road to recovery.

The system is slow and challenging to navigate and eventually (after several years) my mother was able to navigate the system to become a court appointed guardian.

On the other side, I have also been in government appointed committees that set housing policy and have had to listen to many “experts” explain that housing is the solution for homelessness and their suggestions is usually along the lines of “relax the codes and permitting process so builders can build more homes”. Needless to say, I’m somewhat sceptical of this argument but that is probably mostly due to my own bias.

Imho, I think our tax money should be going to social services and universal healthcare.
