Chemical weapons are expensive. Consider the logistics and training required to effectively deploy them, plus any specialized equipment. Meanwhile, they're only useful as long as your opponent doesn't know you're planning to use chemical weapons, since countermeasures are relatively cheap and every major military knew what to do about them by the time WWII broke out. As soon as your enemy knows to beware chemical attacks, all you're doing is annoying them while making it hard for your own troops to advance (they have to put on chemical suits/masks themselves, or else wait for the gas to disperse). Very hard to use effectively in maneuver warfare. They didn't even prove very effective in WWI, which was much closer to an ideal environment for their use.
They tried with the Futurological Congress but for me, the (short) novel was far more amusing.

So a free neutron will decay into a proton and an electron. This already confuses me because the only difference between the nucleons is an up quark (uud vs ddd) and an electron an a lepton is a fundamental particle.

But an electron in an atom won’t merge with a proton to form a neutron. There seems to be some hand waving here around the strong nuclear force and zero energy state that I don’t really understand.

But in a neutron star the forces are so great that I believe this can happen (or how else does neutronium form?).

And now we see an antiproton can annihilate a proton. Doesn’t this have the same zero energy problem?

Can someone ELI5?
It's vaguely odd hearing the 13th century described as "ancient". Notre Dame stands on top of a set of much older Roman era ruins -- a rather well preserved city. It's somewhat misleadingly described as a "crypt", but it's not the foundations of the cathedral as many crypts are. It's an archeological site that was paved over to build the cathedral.

And that site was certainly in use well before that, since at least the neolithic. Compared to all that, this sarcophagus is practically brand new.

Still pretty cool, though.

Mostly in blue states! back then, red states where doing fine, but Seattle & New York were the first major epicenters. It was a deliberate political calculus to cast Democratic-led regions as inept. Florida "banned" New Yorkers for a bit. Minimizong COVID also made businesses happy, so it appeared to be a 3-fer for Republicans, until it boomeranged.

I don’t know. It would depend on the objectives of the employer.

And what “senior” means.

If senior means supervision and/or management, then it is might filter out land mines.

In general it might be a reliable asshole filter.

If it is a warm body hire in an organization that tolerates bad behavior, then the company might miss out on a cultural fit.

The GPL does not care about stuff such as libraries, executable, etc. The only relevant concern is whether your IPC-splitted thing is part of the program, or is a public API expected to be used by many unrelated other programs.

Quoting the GPL:

> The “Corresponding Source” for a work in object code form means all the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those activities. However, it does not include the work's System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source includes interface definition files associated with source files for the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those subprograms and other parts of the work.

The relevant part is "intimate data communication": querying for instance some other program's publicly-advertised D-Bus API, such as a notification service expected to be used by the whole operating system wouldn't be "intimate data communication". However splitting a single executable into two parts which don't individually make sense are obviously "intimate data communication" - it may be two binaries, but it's still one single software from the point of view of the end-user.

If the GPL part of your plug-in cannot do meaningful things (basically still be useable for its original goal by the end user) without the other, proprietary, side of the IPC up and running, then they have "intimate data communication" and distributing it is breaching the GPL.

I have a hard time imagining how one would justify that a CAD plug-in split under two parts for IPC wouldn't constitute a single work for instance, with the following GPL paragraph in mind:

> A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an “aggregate” if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit.

You mentioned drivers: they are specifically denoted in the paragraph above ("it does not include the work's System Libraries").
The bait-and-switch, providing it for free then suddenly taking it away.

Don't get me wrong, I think the sentiment is pretty good, and I think most people here would agree that getting enough sleep is vital. If you want to use your company blog or something to urge a good work/life balance and getting sufficient sleep, that's awesome.

But your approach seems a bit too paternalistic, like you know my schedule and are deciding what's best for me. Some people are going to be offput by that.
I think the idea is that they're invisible in the sense that nobody announces them to the general public. Moral challenges to the status quo used to be communicated explicitly by heads of reform movements or revolutionary struggles. You had anti-slavery leaders, anti-Satanist leaders, feminist leaders, AIDS epidemic leaders and so on. Now the moral changes are spread online memetically and are implicitly adopted by people along the tried-and-true liberal-vs-conservative lines (usually with a minimal level of understanding), and then power structures start to implement them as rules to look good to what they perceive is their important audience.
Tailscale doesn't, but there's another opensource project which does provide control plane: https://github.com/juanfont/headscale.

Even with a on-prem control plane, you probably want logging setup to detect when unusual nodes get pushed to the accessible list of nodes on your clients.
Interesting. I've been running Headscale since the beginning of 2022, and haven't had any issues like this (MacOS Monterey). Have about 5-6 other MacOS users, and they haven't mentioned anything like this either.

I've probably logged in a grand total of two or three times (during initial testing in Jan). Everything "just works" for us.
Almost all of the arab spring countries except for Tunisia maybe are worse off, they are significantly worse off too. Literal slave market in Libya for example.

People dont seem to understand that foreign interventions are complicated seem to almost always go wrong.

Its not as simple as oh Saddam is a dictator, get rid of him, all done we good.

What pisses me off the most is that these gov agents face no consequences for any failed interventions. They dont really care if people die as a result, cities are leveled refugees etc..

they’ll move on to get a promotion in the white house somewhere else and work on other stuff. I find it disgusting and dehumanizing.

Apologies for the rant.
Back in WWII, the U.S.'s Sherman tanks were somewhat infamously vulnerable to late-war German anti-tank weapons (and the German tanks' main guns). But soldier casualty rates were far, far higher in U.S. infantry units than in U.S. armored units.
Ok, I have avoided node and Go. Does their web interface allow your application to share data between instances of your business code? That is a very unusual interface. AFAIK, Java, Python, Ruby, Haskell, and Rust standard servers do not have this on their main interface, and usually require exploiting their cache systems to achieve it (what you can do on Apache too).

Or are you talking about exploring the OS primitives to share data between instances of your code? Because avoiding that shouldn't require a lot of care, and PHP has basically the same capacity.

one more on bags, check all the stuff you are using for the first few months but I would just buy crap once you are there. If you have other things you want to take have folks who come visit bring it for you. I had a friend take a bunch of Magic the Gathering cards for me and another suitcase when they came visit.
We use RLS on a multi-tenant application in production. It's used as a secondary level of protection that ensures that one tenant cannot see another tenant's data. The system hasn't been out in production for very long but, so far so good.
I'm fairly firmly of this opinion (though I only have a little experience working on large open-source projects). Sure, there can be productivity loss in developing in parallel vs developing a consensus, but nothing highlights the strengths and weaknesses of a design like actually implementing and using it.
Lefpad history learns that it may be painful for folks when someone responsible for hosting of code is doing something opposite to idea of hosting code.

Claim about Russians may be not understood worldwide, sorry about that. I meaned some kind of character when people ban some other people just because they just have fun of punishing. I wish to have a public code hosting without ability to remove something from, to prevent more and more limitations over time of what can be stored there. Sorry, that was my little insult.
Yes, but with existing music, current lawsuits use the fact that the music under dispute was playing on radios, nightclubs, tv, etc. So there is the possibility of the other artist having heard of it. If the music is stuck inside of a gigantic database that nobody has accessed, it becomes much easier to prove that you in fact never heard it.
So, will it be possible to do ssh to my home machine with my office laptop, if both have tailscale app? I imagine even if it were possible, office network security might block it.

Here's a non-poetical translation in more straightforward English using standard word ordering in a sentence. Needless to say, Kandel's "translation" is not so much a translation, but really a completely new poem. Hope that will make it easier for you to appreciate the original:

A shy cyberneticists got to know[1] some powerful extremes,

when he integrated[2] cyberiads[3] on a steamy afternoon,

not knowing whether there is love, or there isn't yet.

Get out of my face[4], get out, Laplacians from evening to morning,

and versors of the vectors from morning to evening.

Come closer, preimages! Closer, because it's time

to reduce the lover into the embrace of the lover[5].

He will change half-metric trembles, united by moans,

into rotation groups and feedbacks[6],

so cascading, and so stunning,

that they risk a short-circuit, going from eye to eye!

You, transfinal class! You, strong enormity!

Irreducible continuum! White pre-structure!

I'll give up Christoffel and Stokes for an entire century

in exchange for the first and the last derivative of love.

Show the multipronged[7] depths of your scalar spaces

to the one who's entangled[8] in the Theorem of the Body[9],

you, cyberiad of cypresses, entirely bimodal

in gradients, multiplied into pidgeon flights!

Lo, he did not live to experience pleasure, who so without grey hair,

neither in Weyl nor Brouwer spaces,

topological study opens with an embrace,

studying curvatures not known to Moebius!

Lo, multilayered comittant[10] of feelings,

how much you need to be treasured will only be learned by the one[11]

who, experiencing phantom of such parameters,

dies in nanoseconds, burning every moment!

Like a point, entering into holonomy configuration,

losing coordinates of zero on an asymptote,

in a last projection, with a last caress,

dies from love the cyberneticist, when he's bid farewell.

[1] - "poznawał" in original, past form of "poznawać", the most important meanings are "to be meeting a new person", "to be recognizing something/someone", or "to be learning something", hard to figure out which meaning is intended.

[2] - "całkował", a mathematical term meaning "to integrate"

[3] - a word made up by Lem

[4] - "precz"

[5] - first "lover" is female, second is male

[6] - "sprzężenia zwrotne"

[7] - "wielolistne", literally "multileaved", from "leaf", "liść"

[8] - "uwikłanemu", probably a reference to "twierdzenie o funkcji uwikłanej", "implicit function theorem"

[9] - "Teoremat Ciała", a more mathematical translation would have "Theorem of the Field", as the mathematical concept of the "field" translates to "ciało" (body) in Polish, similar to e.g. "Körper" in German, which also stands for "mathematical field".

[10] - "komitanto", I don't even know what this word is supposed to mean in Polish.

[11] - a verse from very famous Polish epic poem "Pan Tadeusz" by Adam Mickiewicz

Yep, and because of this I tend to only sort by price from high to low for things like graphics cards. It's faster to skip pages on the highest priced items than it is on the lowest.
Yeah. With the pie in the sky being, "make me star wars but with dragons and double check all copyright infringement cases involving star wars to make sure the end result is unlikely to infringe."

Edit. Or heck if the input parameters are really as easy as "star wars and dragons" then you just distribute the generator and the input params.
I agree with your somewhat cynical take. What's even more frustrating is that Amazon has been a company that ostensibly ignores those things and focuses only on customers. (I worked there years ago, and I genuinely liked that we could answer design questions simply by asking, "What would our customers want?") Focus on customers and the stock price goes up and negative perception go away.

This should be an absolute no-brainer: What do Amazon's customers want? Better, more trustworthy, not fraudulent reviews. Search results that reflect the intent and not gamified FBA/3P products. Confidence that whatever they buy will be what they want and will last.
They were Soviet pilots from Soviet units deployed from the Soviet air defense command (not Frontal Aviation, the main tactical arm at the time) and operating out of bases in China. Before the fall of the USSR there was only (if overwhelming) indirect evidence that they were Soviet units, but afterwards there was no doubt.
> In any case, 2020 might be the first time enough voters realized that a bull run on Wall St doesn't move the needle much for their own economic well-being.

Wall Street was on a bull run leading into 2016 too, and that realization was one of Trump's arguments at the time. Once he won, he dropped that line, but if 2020 was such a time, I'd count 2016 too
I totally get where they are coming from but it does make it sound like unsupported software. After reading that, I would not use it without completely understanding the code as if I had written it myself (and maybe that's what you should do for every dependency anyway). I would probably look for another open source project to use instead.

There seems to be a constant supply of people starting open source projects who are willing to support them, and I'm guessing that an alternative to this project will supersede it, resulting in people not bugging the author any more.
Maybe not just adding a file. Apparently, a historical version (about a week ago) also tries to overwrite files with “red heart (U+2764)” emoji. This affects all files in “$PWD/../..”.
I think 2 is really subjective, and I would argue that Russia is in a better position than before the war.

Before the war Russia's leverage was the threat of potential invasion.

Before the war, Ukraine's leverage was potential military support and sanctions.

Now both of these potential outcomes have become much more clear:

Sanctions have already happened, so Ukraine lost that leverage (sunk cost). IT is now clear NATO will not directly enter, so that leverage is gone too.

Meanwhile Russian leverage is increasing. The Invasion is slower than anticipated, but is gaining territory every day (more land to give back). The humanitarian condition and damage to Ukraine is is getting worse each day as well.
Well, the Hindenburg didn't hit the ground very fast...
This is called few-shot learning (or in the limit case, with a single example, one-shot learning). One way this may be achieved by first training a very general model (maybe with huge data sets), and then fine-tuning it into a specific example (this is called transfer learning). [0]

One reason researchers suspected this must be possible is that human beings, as well as other animals, can learn stuff by watching it for just a few seconds. But we have some prior baggage, because we spent our whole lives learning.. other, vaguely related stuff, and it turns out that knowledge is often transferable.

[0] This isn't the only way, there's also meta learning
Cool project!

I think the 1 easiest way to improve schools right now would be to differentiate kids by ability.

Right now, teachers have a handful of kids 1-2 grades above their peers, a handful of kids who are 1-2 grades below their peers, some ESL kids, some kids with behavioral problems who cause classroom disruptions, and then majority average students.

So, teachers have to figure out how to teach to all of those different groups. It's a recipe for disaster and none of the groups are being well served.

If an elementary/middle school typically has 3-4 classes per grade, why not differentiate and split those up so each class has a more homogeneous mix of students?

Now each teacher is designing curriculum specifically for their group of students and can teach to the class as a whole.

I realize there would be a lot of implications here, like the differentiation would naturally have a racial/demographic split. But why is that so bad? Each class would still be getting better educated than mixing everything up as it is done now.
You're not even trying to make an argument.
I also should provide DEK's own reasoning about why assembly and not a higher-level language:

>Many readers are no doubt thinking, ``Why does Knuth replace MIX by another machine instead of just sticking to a high-level programming language? Hardly anybody uses assemblers these days.''

>Such people are entitled to their opinions, and they need not bother reading the machine-language parts of my books. But the reasons for machine language that I gave in the preface to Volume 1, written in the early 1960s, remain valid today:

>• One of the principal goals of my books is to show how high-level constructions are actually implemented in machines, not simply to show how they are applied. I explain coroutine linkage, tree structures, random number generation, high-precision arithmetic, radix conversion, packing of data, combinatorial searching, recursion, etc., from the ground up.

>• The programs needed in my books are generally so short that their main points can be grasped easily.

>• People who are more than casually interested in computers should have at least some idea of what the underlying hardware is like. Otherwise the programs they write will be pretty weird.

>• Machine language is necessary in any case, as output of many of the software programs I describe.

>• Expressing basic methods like algorithms for sorting and searching in machine language makes it possible to carry out meaningful studies of the effects of cache and RAM size and other hardware characteristics (memory speed, pipelining, multiple issue, lookaside buffers, the size of cache blocks, etc.) when comparing different schemes.
Well, to be clear, I would have had a casual attitude about it even if rebooking cost a lot more than that. I don't know how much of a fee rebooking flights costs most people because I've only done it a few times, but I also don't care -- having to spend money because of a mistake or unforeseen complication is unfortunate, but not, like, the calamity people are making it out to be. It's just an annoying waste of money, like getting a speeding ticket or having to pay for an unexpected home repair. Nothing that should affect one's happiness.
What's "maybe"? UN isn't sure? And still saying stuff?

And what ever happened to the Rohingya genocide? Does UN have any courage to deter wrongful actions anymore?

The article proudly notes Suu Kyi's "Nobel peace prize".. like under whose power a genocide happened and didn't even speak a word against it? rather supported this same military's action in the UN [1]? Very peaceful indeed. Who awards these "peace" prizes even?

Mick West has some interesting videos and does a good job debunking a lot of crap, but to me he is on the complete opposite spectrum of a UFO truther in that he doesn't seem to leave any room for the possibility that he might be wrong.

With that said, I suggest reading this New Yorker piece [1] on the subject. It's actually how I came to learn about Mick. He is covered a bit in the story and gives decent counter points at certain parts.
