Life finds a way. My wife had generalized tonic-clonic seizure for an entire year (non previous seizure history) without any cause being detected by multiple MRIs. She was taking increasing doses of Levetiracetam that somehow controlled the scope of the seizures but not avoid them completely. After a year of this, we go for another ER visit after the latest one and she ask, somehow randomly, to have a pregnancy test, it comes negative but, finally, the root cause of the seizure does appear on imagery, at that point a low grade astrocytoma. She went into major brain surgery to try to remove it and pathology confirms the low grade astrocytoma, and after a month of recovery, the oncologist recommends to start a chemo and radio therapy treatment.

As the low grade astrocytoma is treatable and with high long term survival rate, he recommends that we might extracts some ovules if we decide to have another kid in the future, as the chemo had a high chance of infertility. We had one son, and being both on our middle to late 30s, we agreed.

We go to her OG for this, and as he is performing an preliminary echography... a heart beat start blasting on the speakers, over two months of his negative blood pregnancy test, after major brain surgery, after major doses of meds of all kinds, she was, indeed, pregnant. We knew exactly when she got pregnant, it was 5 days before that ER visit. She "knew" it that day in the ER, that's why she asked for the pregnancy test (that, once again, came negative).

She decided to have the baby, no matter what the risk for her it was, no matter what risk for the baby it was. Chemo was out the question and radio treatment was a high risk and had to wait for at least another month. 6 months later we had a healthy baby, who is now a healthy 10 year old girl.

Sadly, some months after given birth to her, my wife had a relapse, the brain tumor came back, this time as GBM, a month after the girl second birthday, she passed away.

Life found a way, tho, and my wife never had any remorse of the decisions we made and she would be proud of what her sons are coming to be

The only one that can stand anything against Chrome is Safari, and Apple's resistance to adopt everything that Google thinks of into iOS.

Mozilla has long lost the browser war.

Browsers are the modern thin clients into Cloud OSes, and there Mozilla has very little that they can push.

I still use Firefox whenever I can, but the writing is on the wall, without Apple's resistance (naturally due to native store apps), the correct title for Web developers would be ChromeOS developer.
It could be problematic in early pregnancy because the embryo relies on corpus luteum until placenta is developed (without corpus luteum the pregnancy would not continue). Afterwards it does not make a difference. I am not sure what happened in this case that the pregnancy was successful.
Yes Bionic Reading is not speed reading.
Speed reading has to be learned and it is demonstrably difficult to verify.

Bionic reading does not have to be learned, it happens intuitively. Because we humans read the way we read.
Tidal et al. only seem to pay more to artists because they have lower engagement than Spotify. So the same monthly pot is just divided between fewer artists. It's a misleading metric.
You are just complaining. You don’t have a theme in your comments except The West has done things to complain about (I totally agree).

The average person would rather watch celebrity sleaze content and corporate outrage news than challenge their own priors by reading challenging pieces on foreign policy. Same as every place on Earth.

I’m not going to defend US foreign policy, but your false equivalence of US collateral damage and Russian purposefully attacking civilian dwellings only wdilutes any argument you might have been making.
Maybe the paragraph is intentionally autological - but then I'd expect more misspellings...
It actually has a name and theory surrounding it too - it's called referential transparency, and is one of the key attributes of a pure function.
Not exactly. My point was that people may be equating their identity with certain activities in order to attain social media status.

As another commenter said, social validation is something sought after by people, and may be common enough to be considered "normal".

But my idea is that if you only take part in an activity because, for whatever reason, you want to be "a person who does X" and associate your identity with it ("I'm a runner"), you are unlikely to partake in that activity in a "leisurely fashion", because you have to conform to what "a person who does X" is expected to do by their audience. The comment to which I was initially replying was giving the example of running, so I was looking for an explanation of why many people won't just "cruise around the block" but instead try for a marathon, complete with selfies at the finish line.

While I definitely don't hold social media in high regard, my post was not intended to be a dig at it. But I understand that my position is likely to color my discourse to things related to it.
I guess my only argument against these approaches is that I’d like to have a method that works for physical texts as well so practising speed reading seems the most impactful thing.

Yes, this does work well (and it gives you a bunch of options for rapidly extracting a lot of dynamic range out of a transparency.)

But you can maybe even use the lens from your scanner, if you can liberate it and mount it.

Film scanners typically have a thin strip that is often rather wider than a frame of film (because that was the way they achieved higher scan resolution at lower cost).

So what you have in your scanner is a tiny, sharp, fixed aperture lens with an image circle generally large enough for full frame.

> "So, from one to another, just remember it’s quite the privilege to publish a statement declaring in a public space that you’re “taking a break” from work."

Why this anger towards the author for doing what he considers to be the best thing for himself?

Yes, being able to take a break from work is a privilege. But it isn't one that people should be publicly shamed for when needing to exercise it. Rather we should work towards having that option on the table for as many people on this planet as possible.

Worker's rights have been so completely eroded (or never even established) in so many places around the world, that it breeds this kind of sick attitude of turning against those who decide to put them selves or loved ones before the employer and work.

I say this as someone who is personally about to take a long sabbatical, with full pay, because of incredible burnout after having gone through a very traumatic period involving a partners cancer treatment.

This is only possible because of the incredible strong union that I am a part of.

Well good for you, you're a saint[1].

On a more local level this can apply in terms of city and state as well, so not just country. If you get literally no useful or beneficial services from a city government that's not a bad reason to move away unless you have no need for anything governmental.

I understand the advices like 'eat healthy', 'go excercise' but how do you do it actually. How do you build the discipline?
Yeah, and the UK's wind capacity factor should be better than average because most of the recently-added capacity is offshore, which is more expensive per GWh produced but produces it more reliably. There just doesn't seem to be a realistic non-nuclear path to ending fossil fuel dependence, and green groups have got away with obfuscating this fact because most of the press supports them.

There was a variant combining Hex and Go which was popular (as these things go) on online abstract games sites a few years ago. Square board, capturing like in Go, but the goal is to connect sides like in Hex.

This game degenerated to "primitive Go" most of the time, because both sides blocking each other is easy on a square board, and at that point it's down to who has the most territory (most free moves to fill in their own areas without being captured.

I've played both on a modest level. I'd say that Hex, at the sizes we typically play at, is a lot like one big Go fight. I find it easier to look far ahead in Hex since pieces are never removed, ladders are (even) more common, and since non-overlapping templates ("miai" in Go) always connect you can build them together into huge parts of the board where you know you can connect.
Right before the first lockdown I started a new high stress job and for several months our two toddlers weren't allowed to attend school. During the first few weeks we tried to make it "fun", I'd start working around 4-5AM , alternating morning and evening shifts of work / toddlers with my partner.

Then colleagues started complaining "wtf this guy's playing with his kids in the park at 2PM" and I got really bad feedback from my manager. He'd tell me full of glee that "certain colleagues" went to complain behind my back.

And since then it was non stop screaming at the kids, my partner ... it was hell. I'm not even ashamed to admit I was opening bottles of wine at 10AM and downing them in 30 min.

When the wife & kids went abroad for a week to stay with her parents and I took a week off from work I didn't even drink a drop of alcohol. It was purely to cope with the stress, for which alcohol does work very well! But it was a truly horrible time. And IMHO if you weren't at home with toddlers you didn't experience true suffering.

Ten months in to the job I got laid off and spent a year basically doing nothing apart from be there for the kids and the household.

Since then I did however develop bad sleeping habits and I still tend to wake up at 3-4AM to start work, which I actually enjoy if it wasn't for the fact you're destroyed as from late afternoon.

It's been a really rough 2 years. And I really enjoyed the 5 minutes between the pandemic and WWIII.

Nice, it works! I knew you could configure scaling system wide but I didn't know you could configure per-application through environment variables.
An argument of pure genius!
That's exactly the opposite. Imagine you need 100 Rubles to pay for 1cf of gas. But you don't have rubles, you need to buy them. Would you rather spend $1 (given a rate of 1:100) or $100 (given a rate of 1:1) to pay for that 1cf of gas?
> any particular reason

Indulging such imagination, which is valuable, one particular reason, as you probably realize, could be resource limits when it comes to actually scaling up solar generation and transmission facilities.

Plus, electrification of transportation, if beyond electrified rail, still calls for storage. Here's an analysis of material inputs, focussing on vehicle electrification:

I'm in no position to judge the actions of the US back then, but you're wrong about the genocide:

> Although Serb forces had long been blamed for the massacre, it was not until June 2004—following the Srebrenica commission's preliminary report—that Serb officials acknowledged that their security forces planned and carried out the mass killing. A Serb commission's final report on the 1995 Srebrenica massacre acknowledged that the mass murder of the men and boys was planned. The commission found that more than 7,800 were killed after it compiled thirty-four[citation needed] lists of victims.

> A concerted effort was made to capture all Bosniak men of military age.[114] In fact, those captured included many boys well below that age and elderly men several years above that age who remained in the enclave following the take-over of Srebrenica. These men and boys were targeted regardless of whether they chose to flee to Potočari or to join the Bosnian Muslim column. The operation to capture and detain the Bosnian Muslim men was well organised and comprehensive. The buses which transported the women and children were systematically searched for men.[114]

I have been trying to replace my old Canoscan LIDE 200 with a newer LIDE 400 for some time now (because I have a line of dead pixels), but there actually seems to be a scanner shortage on the German hardware market right now. Might be related to Covid and people buying scanners to work from home. For Canon definitely, but some other manufacturers seem to be sparse and more expensive as well. So this is a welcome alternative to at least be able to upgrade my MacOS finally.
The article is incredibly biased, and incorrect. Temperatures were high in several detection points, not just in models. Here is an excerpt [1]:

"The Concordia research base at Dome C of the Antarctic, which is at an altitude of 3,000 metres (9,800 feet), on Friday registered a record -11.5 degrees Celsius (11.3 Fahrenheit), Etienne Kapikian, a meteorologist from France-Meteo tweeted.

Normally, temperatures fall with the end of the southern summer, but the Dumont d'Urville station on Antarctica registered record temperatures for March with 4.9C (40.82F), at a time of year when normally temperatures are already sub-zero."

"Above normal" is of course inflammatory because it's comparing to the mean, not the previous record. But as you can see, primary temperature monitoring sites have recorded extremely high temperatures, sometimes record-breaking, and there is no modeling involved in these results.

While in general I find that speedreading is mostly for poor content, since our speed of information comprehension is slower than any reading, this seems to be the most effective implementation I've come across.

It might help the website more if the testimonials themselves were in the same way.
Some sysadmins could code. Not all sysadmins can code.
I think the issue is mismatched expectations. General, ie university hospitals are normally not a place to treat addictions of any kind. You have rehab clinics, psychologists, AAs, church for those who need such authority and so on. These tend to be on their own, separate, not in hospital.

Emergency services is set to treat physical damage to the body, not psychological issues of any kind.
It's not really more power in hands of corporate overlords unless you give them your domains. Domain names are the first point of contact to anyone using your service, as long as you control them you can move to any other corporate overlord at any time. That's freedom.

I'm in the same situation as the OP. Except I still do have some VPS left mainly for tor exit nodes and DNS over TLS servers. The rest that did require some sort of VPS is now in managed k8s.

There was some recent 'reverse engineering' of the recent Apple products, mentioned on the web a few months back, particularly how they do SIMD branching/divergence. It sounded remarkably familiar to the PVR SGX/Rogue approach.
No, the truth is immediately apparent, and the post you're replying to is mentioning part of it: we know how many people died, and have good enough data on causes. Lockdowns caused some deaths, with alcoholism being part of it. It also saved quite a few lives by reducing the number of traffic accidents. And no matter how you slice it, nothing comes close to the number of actual COVID deaths, let alone the number of deaths we would have seen if we had let the first waves infect everyone. That would have been abut 5x as much, or 1.5 million, not including the problem that medical care and the economy would have completely collapsed in such a scenario.

Anyway... "let's wait until we have all the data" has been my favorite losing argument starting in like week 5 of the pandemic, when the deaths started mounting in Sweden.
I like to explain functional programs like this.

Functional programs don't _do_ anything, they are a list of commands some external interpreter (what you call the runtime, but doesn't have to be a runtime) will execute or compile.

Functional programs only contain descriptions of the various commands, but it is an external interpreter executing the commands.

Functional programs return "recipes".

"recipes" are picked up by some executor that will turn them in dishes (the side effect).

If all of this seems generic allow me some typescript.

```

// we can declare a a function that takes no argument and return a value IO.

type IO<A> = () => A

declare const program: () => void; // thus can be rewritten as

declare const program: IO<void> // this is the PURE function I can reason about

declare const execute: IO<void> => void // this is the interpreter that will execute the commands and have side effects

```

Now, let's declare a side effectful functions:

```

const log: (s: string) => IO<void>

// desugarized: (s: string) => () => void
``
`

Notice how the signature is similar to the standard console.log:
(s: string) => void

except that it's lazy. Laziness is one of the most convenient ways to express "commands" rather than side effects in a language like JavaScript, but there are also alternatives.

Now we can have a pure program that logs to the console some string.

`log("foo")` does not "execute" any console.log, it still needs to be executed:

```

const program: IO<void> = log("foo");

// program() will actually print "foo" in stdout

```

Note: we could've encoded IO in different ways, e.g. with a struct/interface rather than a function and had the interpreter actually reason about the side effect on its own.

Now, the only missing part is: how do I compose such IO functions together? Well, there are various ways but the most common ones are applicative functors and monads. I am not going to delve deeper in this comment on those topics because it would take long but I hope I have transmitted my point:

in functional programs you return programs (I like to think about them as recipes, recipes don't DO anything), those programs may compose effectful commands, the actual execution of the commands is shoved inside an external interpreter.

This is quite obvious in some languages like Haskell, it's less obvious in others.
And software engineers?
I was actually not able to read their example text at all. I had to slow down, to read this slowly word, by word.

I trained myself since my time at university to mark important parts in text (either with text marker in a book or with bold typesetting in a digital text).

I then primarily scan only the bold/colored parts and skip over the non marked parts. So my eye/brain jumped from bold letters to bold letters. As these were not full words, I just had gibberish in my head.

Maybe for the untrained reader this might work. I know that I am just anecdata.

I'm sorry to hear about your experiences in tech. As a federal employee, I know there is a huge push right now to hire a lot of people, and increasing our diversity in STEM roles is a concurrent goal.
