IIRC, he actually used it on coop for awhile with a physical ticket spike to store completed tickets on. It's pretty cool to see when the issue volume is just right.
Right, (we) have this new meme which is paddled now as a winning phrase of any discussion pointing out double-standard ... it is a invented nonesense and stand on no legal or moral grounds. It is a vapor on which you stand, and signals low levels of own thinking.

In the English common law and in many other countries not directly based on that concept there is something called "precedent". It ensures consistency of application of written laws. There is so much to unpack that one cannot do it here.

From logic point of view it fails as it neglects "and" clause. If I disagree Paul killing John AND I also disagree with Anna killing Marry. There is no OR, which is where "whataboutism" fails miserably (as it has or in its definition).

But the original comment tried to compare it on a moral plane. And that is exactly what I responded to. There is no moral ground to say Russia is worse in its warcrimes than US (or any other country). A warcrime is a warcrime. There is no low and high depending to which nation we hold our allegiance to (at least not for me). Just ponder for a minute this number "Over 600,000 civilians are estimated to have died as a direct consequence of US President George W." [If you serious student of international law then I recommend this (not as a sole authority but as a data point in forming views): https://www.amazon.com/Protesting-Power-Resistance-Peace-Lib...]

It is precisely this time that it is necessary to call out double speak, duplicity and crookedness of how international laws and morality is selectively applied. The events that are happening are far from unprecedented and that should be put into perspective to tame the manufactured emotions, especially when speaking about morality. That is justice and fairness to the current and past victims the west conveniently puts into collective blind-spot. (And "we" are wondering "why do they hate us; it must be our democracy..." -- if you are not young enough to remember those headlines).
It's still free under lgpl. Their open source version anyway. [1]

Just that the Qt company lately has been trying everything to scare / annoy people into getting licenses, sign up for their online accounts etc... So they're just not advertising their open source offerings as much.

Isn't "finding patterns where there are none" more akin to finding correlation in the first place, than to making the correlation->causation jump?
Yes, like my company, who in turn make useful apps for consumers which was far harder (and more expensive) before. You had to jump through all kinds of hoops, you don't need to jump so many here in EU/UK. I did integrations in HK/AU/US and that was seriously painful without these in place. And far more expensive.

If you have many satellites, you lose many in case of electromagnetic storms. Remember that about 25% of all satellites that currently are orbiting Earth are Starlink satellites, and that they are designed to be easily disposable and in very low orbits.
> I challenge you dear reader, the next time there's a science article presented, to think about something more interesting to say than "correlation != causation".

I challenge the writers of articles to write articles which doesn’t walk into this problem.

> Say you are caring for a population of elderly people and you need to triage who to give more stability support (say carers, walking aids, etc). Do a grip strength test!

But that’s not what the article says, does it?

“The single most effective set of muscles you can work to extend your life is in your hands.”

This is the first line of the article, and it is completely unsupported by data or studies. So how are we missing the point?

> The correlation is important, it doesn't matter if the correlation is causal in nature.

But it does matter! If it is causal then we should give hand strengthening devices to everyone. We should have fun hand strength competitions in social settings to encurage everyone to care about their grip strength.

If it is not casual then we can use it as a diagnostic indicator precisely as you say. In that case it is actually a bad idea to encourage people to strenghten their grip, because that might break the correlation between ill-health and grip strength, thus ruining the diagnostic indicator without helping anyone to live a healthier life.

How can you say it doesn’t matter if the correct reaction differs this much?
Nitpicking, but for GP; Nerf is the internal representation, but the output doesnt have to be 2D (ray traced basically)

There are examples of people outputting SDF (and by extension geometry) with nerf, and projecting original texture onto that would give some nice effects; (live volumetric works best this way) though there would be some disparity where edges/occlusion isnt perfect, so youd want to sample nerf's rgb anyway... although a lot of that is fuzzy at the edges too. A lot of incorrect transparency at edges looks great in the 2D renders (so much anti aliasing and noise!) but less good for texturing
The CDC recommends ground beef cooked to 160F, which is well above “rare” temperature (around 130F). So, you’re going against the food safety guidelines. I’d say that introduces risk (though hard to quantify exactly).

There's always unknown unknowns and by now those have been reduced significantly for GMOs. Any reason to think the risk in this case might be higher than the benefits? Are you sure you are not overestimating the unknown unknown risk just because GMO sounds scary?
QtCreator comes bundled with the Qt SDK, and that's dual licensed (LGPL vs paid). The Qt Company has been tightening the screws in recent years though, if you're a company and use Qt under the LGPL license, expect frequent audits and some 'pressuse' to switch to the commercial license even if your project is LGPL compliant.

From the looks of USENIX papers it is as alive as always, researchers prefer to focus on distributed computing OSes, as there is where the research money now lives on, the classical desktop is done.

Mobile OSes (which can be turned into desktop like experiences) is where most research activities in managed stacks and improved security are now going on.
Excess pattern recognition isn't conflating correlation for causation.
> They spent two years on a from scratch rewrite that was never completed

Wow, that’s doomed to fail hard.

Where I work at, we’re slowly rewriting a legacy Perl code base to Go HTTP services, and the best decision we made was to allow interoperability between the two systems. This way we can migrate the legacy parts by parts with minimal impact. This is a slow process (in 5 years we migrated maybe 3/4 of the code) but very reliable. And we actually have something to show for it.
If you forget an error handler in python, execution terminates. So I don't see your point.
Seems like the ultimate size would be limited by the reflectivity coefficient too. The speed of the photons makes for a whole lot of reflection events. The stats take over from there.

I found the idea of this experiment strangely compelling too.

This stuff is hard to begin to understand for most people I would imagine. That is generally true for me. For me, that all translates into an fun and interesting mode of conceptual thought akin to what happens with good sci-fi.

Mixing the concepts of gasses and light is novel to me as well, and I suppose that is what makes this one compelling.

I wonder whether this idea might be combined with how we have slowed the travel speed of light down many orders? Perhaps the materials forming the mirror box do that?

I am going to read this one again (during more normal waking concentration hours) and follow a few of the science rabbit holes the references will surely contain.
No, but if you read the original article, it describes the policies by companies. Obviously a company has many different type of roles, however when you describe office workers, comparatively there are a significant proportion who work for organizations in industries that are not represented. Retail companies have huge office staff to organize new products, marketing, purchasing, logistics and finance. Should they not count because the company also runs a supermarket or boutique?

I was simply saying that the figures may be overrepresented. The original title when I posted heavily focused on the 7.2% of companies who say they will force 100% in office. That number seems very low to me and looking through the data I noticed that the sample doesn't represent many of the largest employers in the country. The new title rectifies that.
"Making a deal" here refers to two people interacting in the terms of "Make a offer" -> Waiting time -> "Other party accepts offer" -> Waiting time -> "Upload files" while companies offering file storage is more like "Make subscription service people can sign up to" -> "Someone subscribes" -> "Upload files".
Thanks, this is much simpler than the original post.

Here's the equivalent Dockerfile + docker-compose.yaml for convenience:

# Dockerfile
FROM debian:11-slim
RUN apt-get -y update && apt-get -y install firefox-esr
CMD ["firefox"]

# docker-compose.yaml
services:
firefox:
image: firefox
build: .
environment:
DISPLAY: ${DISPLAY}
network_mode: host
volumes:
- ${XAUTHORITY}:/root/.Xauthority
- /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp.X11-unix

This way you can run it with just:

docker-compose up

That’s probably the basis for most of human religion and philosophy; coping mechanisms.

Yes macOS is now a certified UNIX, however just like its NeXTSTEP predecessor, its UNIXisms are meant to bring people into the platform, not to get them out of it.

Every single user experience that actually matters to Apple customers lives outside UNIX, relying on Objective-C frameworks, and nowadays Swift ones as well.

This is the mindset that those that buy Apple products as shinny UNIX keep failing to grasp, and then start blogging all those posts about going back to BSD/Linux, which they should have done in first place to start with, sponsoring BSD/Linux hardware OEMs.

The entrance to the tunnels isn't where the interference of happening. The tunnels start at Liverpool Street

What's a bit strange is that they've been running the same trains with passengers on from Liverpool Street through Stratford for more than 2 years, with passengers, as TFL rail. But I guess they had to upgrade the signalling around Stratford to work with the trains coming through the core, and that is still buggy
You know there will be immense pressure for it to open on or before the Jubilee weekend - in June - so I'd put my money on that being the later date.
I'm all for the ideological sentiment behind this setup and approach. In many ways, this is 'the right way' when you're a small and close-knit team.

And that's the major caveat: this really only works at the very early stages.

In my experience (5 years at a startup that has gone from 30 to now 300 people) and with a heavy bent toward pragmatism, simply put, this doesn't scale.

If growth of the team is imperative for growth of the business (which in most cases, it is), then the shape of the team will change and the culture of the business will evolve away from openness and flexibility out of necessity.

You will get silos, whether you want them or not. If you know you want to scale, not prep'ing for that is akin to burying one's head in the proverbial sand.

Be transparent, but configure for partitioning.

Be flexible, but prepare to have some deadlines start to appear.

Keep prioritisation as simple as possible, but assume that it will get more complex and you will need people who can/want to manage that.

When you move from planning the next few sprints to strategising the next few years, you have to start anticipating problems before they arise across many fronts, not just the tech.

It doesn't mean spending an inordinate amount of time and money on getting that TechCrunch article, but when knowing your runway ends in 6 months, it would be extremely shortsighted not to be laying the groundwork for an investment round by everyone just going heads-down on product development.
Or maybe use something that's less dependent on radio frequency in one of the most populated, thus most frequency-polluted areas on Earth. Radio not always is the best choice, sometimes, cable is worth it.

I just wanted to note that you should be applauded for your handling of this thread. So many people waste their launch by ignoring feedback and only responding with marketing jargon, but here you are asking new users questions about their experience, with the clear intention of making the experience better for them. Kudos to you!
I've learnt Perl for this very reason. It is extremely capable, extensible and still very backwards-compatible. It feels like an evolution of bash but much more performant.

A bit of a shame that it's seen as an anachronism to many. Perl soon rubs off on you and becomes a delight.
There will always be unknown unknowns, whatever the subject at hand. This is not specific to GMOs and certainly not a good argument against them.
It is a few years late, but on a 10 year program. And it is only around 25% over budget. That is a lot of money to be sure. But compared to other government or corporate programs it seems pretty good. And it will deliver real measurable benefits to people. Both in terms of travel and economic stimulus. The UK is probably spending more on failed corporate ERP systems every year than the over spend on Crossrail.

And we can do manor projects because we are doing major projects. There is Thames Tideway, London Power Tunnels, several offshore wind farms and interconnectors, Great Western electrification, 2012 Olympics.
Yes, I think few people seem to realize X Windows can be operated over a network as well. I used to do that with the Windows Subsystem for Linux to use the KDE Konsole and other great tools on my Windows machine using an X server running on the Windows side and a few environment variable tweaks on the Linux side. My colleagues were always confused when they saw the Linux UI seamlessly mixed with the Windows stuff on my display. For the use case mentioned in the article xvfb probably makes more sense though as that stuff often runs on a server and you don't want to stream the output somewhere to work with it interactively.
This is, to me, a vital feature.

My niece loves manga, and I would buy her a subscription, but there would have to be some kind of age filtering. What I would personally love would be the ability to select exactly which series she can read, as sometimes simple age restrictions aren't good (some teen series are fine, others really aren't).
You can definitely feel the impact of PG's tweet [1] in this thread. I've never seen so much hate about "correlation =/> causation"!

I usually bring this point up when discussing donating to charities, so I'd say: you're not buying access to MDN for yourself, you're buying it being available for free to the world.
look, sorry for the sarcasm. After reading your comment history it's clear that you like to entertain speculation about world events and the like.

W.r.t. your comment history, as someone who also has a family member with a medical background (my father is a surgeon), let me just say that there's not a law of nature that says that doctors are infallible - even if they're family.

Anyway it's been abundantly obvious to anyone paying attention that Russia would retaliate with cyber warfare. I saw many such blurbs about this on NPR before sanctions were even placed but it's common knowledge that this is in Russia's playbook.

I think there's a difference between "trying to set up a grind farm" and creating a work environment and culture where people feel comfortable to just get down and do work.

This is, in my mind, the opposite of a "grind farm."

> On a related note, have you noticed how every cuisine is based on a) what is available locally and b) the best way to preserve it?

Checks out: my father grew up on salted pork, pickled onions, fruit preserves, cheese, milk, dried oats, dried peas, jarred/canned food or whatever was in season (potatoes, cabbage, turnip, carrot).

Irish cuisine is the most boring in the world, but it's not our fault. We were colonized and forced to farm the land for absentee landlords, and we're given a tiny scrap of land to keep pigs and grow what we could. Potatoes mostly, because they provided the high calories per area of ground. Until blight wiped them all out in the 1840s. We were forced to continue exporting grain while starving / emigrating / getting evicted from land. This history doesn't do much for our national cuisine! "Want some heavily salted pork with overcooked cabbage and potatoes?" I didn't think so.
The methane isn't from the bacteria, it is from their food.

If the inefficient cow/bacteria processing step is skipped, the whole production pipeline is greatly more climate-friendly.
With the new (nominally experimental) CLI, use `nix bundle --bundler github:NixOS/bundlers#toArx` (or equivalently just `nix bundle`) to build a self-extracting shell script[1], `...#toDockerImage` to build a Docker image, etc.[2,3], though there’s no direct AppImage support that I can see (would be helpful to eliminate the startup overhead caused by self-extraction).

If you want a QEMU VM for a complete system rather than a set of files for a single application, use `nixos-rebuild build-vm`, though that is intended more for testing than for deployment.

The Docker bundler seems to be using more general Docker-compatible infrastructure in Nixpkgs[4].

The handwaving is on your side. How could it be otherwise? To demonstrate a spinoff effect, you have to show that the technology would not have been developed otherwise. But such contrafactual history is just about impossible to prove. And in technology, it's almost always the case that technologies come about because it's time for them to come about (it's "steam engine time"), not because of one irreplaceable inventor or group.
