Exactly, yes (except this should only apply to spouses). The point is to not put judges into a position where they might have to choose between the spouse and the law. No one should have to wonder which way they chose. It's nothing to do with the political persuasion of the spouse, only to do with not putting judges into that position.
I improved a lot after meeting my first (ex) girlfriend through a dating app. She liked going out and one of the places we'd go was a Pub near her parent's house with live music. Initially I felt ackward there. After going there a few times and specially when the band was playing songs I liked (and with a little help from good beer) I started loosening up. I'm not really sure why but from that point forward I started not really carying anymore about "other people looking at me" when I'm enjoying the moment and having fun. It's like I flippled the "I don't care" switch on.
> Wachy uses the magic of eBPF ...

eBPF may be magical, but because it's not readily usable, nobody uses its magical powers.

I haven't tried Wachy, yet, but the short demo video on the landing page shows the power of eBPF, and the ease-of-use of Wachy.

I think Wachy is what would truly make eBPF magical.

I'm working my way back into contributing to Postgres community, and this will come in handy to chase performance issues.

Great job on coming up with the idea, executing it, making a polished product, and a polished demo video!

Thank you for making Wachy!

Just a small piece of advice: You pronounce it almost like "Whacky" in your demo. I thought it would be pronounced as "Watch-e". Choosing a better name, without ambiguity on how to pronounce it, would reduce confusion when people mention it to each other, make it easier for people to search for it on the internet, and may also help in adoption. Think of a better name/spelling, but don't lose the focus on making the tool better.
Here's what I did and/or do.

1. I constantly ask trusted friends and family members if I was blundering in social situations. I asked my wife this evening, when our daughter had her boyfriend over for dinner. I didn't blunder. I asked anyway. I will ask during an event, especially if it lasts for hours. Ultimately when I blunder, I reprogram how I will respond when that situation arises again. While that could be a thousand little actions, I find I can generalize things, and that makes it easier.

2. Put yourself in tough social situations. I did fashion photography for 8 years as a hobby. I worked with 20+ models in the DC area, and did 2 shoots in NYC. Yes it was all about getting the photos, but to do that you focus your attention on the model. This book helped: "How to Win Friends & Influence People" by Dale Carnegie. Ultimately, the intimidatingly gorgeous woman in front of you and your camera is a regular human who comes from some place, has family and friends, and has interests. When you work with someone like that for 8 or so hours, you need to make her feel comfortable.

3. Work with some successful and highly extraverted people, whether in business or in a volunteer situation. I was working with and being mentored by someone who owned the world. There were no limitations with him. He could go anywhere, do anything. Obviously he didn't actually own the world, but his presence said he did. This was in a volunteer situation. This person was very hard working, wealthy, an overall good person, but took no garbage from anyone. He was also very smart. Actually there were a couple others like him in that volunteer situation - power, money, capabilities, responsibilities, accomplishments. Learn from them.

Good luck! This is what I did. You'll always feel socially awkward, but if you work at it, you can power through it in the tough situations. Hope this helps!
It's quite common. Here are Richard Stallman's own words: "I've considered selling exceptions acceptable since the 1990s, and on occasion I've suggested it to companies. Sometimes this approach has made it possible for important programs to become free software." and "I consider selling exceptions an acceptable thing for a company to do, and I will suggest it where appropriate as a way to get programs freed." and more. The whole article is worth a read: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling-exceptions.en.html
the-eye.eu is supposed to be that, but it appears to be centralized. i can't remember if they had any decentralized file storage abilities. it's currently mostly down and being restored from backups or something.
On my phone, I prefer Emu48, with a 50g skin. It ends up being almost exactly the same scale as the real calculator, so my muscle memory from the 50g transfers over about as well as possible give that it's on a touchscreen instead of a real keyboard. And the extra screen space over the 48 series sometimes comes in handy.
I married well.
As an aside, I used to work for a technical services company that was bought by a company who aggressively acquired other similar companies. Their only skill it turned out was doing this, and they ran them all into the ground.

I don't believe that working from home is related to outsourcing in any meaningful way, but I can relate to that story on a personal level!
For large motors that work in air, electric fields are not competitive with magnetic fields.

The usable magnetic fields are limited by the saturation of the soft ferromagnetic parts or by the demagnetization of the permanent magnets at around 1 to 2 tesla, while the electric fields are limited by the electrical breakdown of the air at around 3E6 V/m. 1 tesla is equivalent with 3E8 V/m (multiplied by the speed of light), so the usable magnetic fields are 100 to 200 times greater than the usable electric fields.

So any large motor must be made with magnetic fields, otherwise it would need to be huge for the same torque.

On the other hand the motors with magnetic fields have large power losses in conductors (copper losses) and ferromagnetic materials (iron losses). Because of this, while large motors can have an efficiency above 99%, the smaller an electrical motor with magnetic fields is, the lower its efficiency is.

So below a certain very small size, the efficiency of a motor with magnetic fields becomes so low that the motors with electric fields become preferable because of their higher efficiency.
V (1983 Miniseries)
There were so many things the NES did right.

For instance the color palette was designed with aesthetics in mind: it had 56 colors that you'd want to use, compared to the 216 colors of the web safe palette that must have been chosen by a physicist because 60% of them make me want to puke.

The Atari 400 and 800 had an elaborate system for game-friendly video that couldn't touch what the NES did with tiles. They did amazing things with the TI-99/4A (like simulate framebuffer graphics with tiles so long as you didn't need to cover the whole screen... a trick you couldn't do with the character ROM talked about in this article) but it didn't have the brilliant end-to-end engineering of the NES...

... And of course the ability to extend the hardware with the cartridge took advantage of the falling cost of electronics AND fit with the business model that the cheap console is subsidized by expensive games.
Wow, 2.5 years ago. So relevant.
This was one of my first app ideas about 10 years ago. Unfortunately my microwave had a mechanical timer such that if you opened the door when it was running the microwaving would stop, and on closing again it would resume. Unbeknown to me the door had been so opened, and on closing, with my HTC Desire inside, it duely resumed.
I don't get why Microsoft is even working on this. They don't have a web browser.

Yes, hit the gym. I took it a step further. Not only did I hit the gym, I became a fitness instructor - step, cardio kickboxing, spin and water aerobics. I was your typical fat short kid with a computer growing up and I have mild cerebral palsy and no natural rhythm.

My awkwardness improved a lot then and I made a lot of friends. I also went out of my way to try stuff and not be embarrassed about sucking.

Finally, I got out of my own head and realized that the Spotlight Effect is real.
1. I’d bet money that your voice change is not noticeable from the outside, and it’s something you are feeling internally, but other people really can’t even notice. Also, If you’re meeting someone for the first time they have no idea what your voice sounds like! The reason I’m saying this is because I’m
Guessing you’re putting extreme pressure on yourself and creating a positive feedback loop for something that no one else can notice!

2. What helped me was realizing no one can notice the subtle changes in my mood shifts and my anxiety, literally no one, even if they could, so what?

3. One of the biggest things to help me was realizing that no one actually cares what I’m saying or how I come across, it may sound quite negative but it’s actually quite liberating when it comes to social anxiety, no one notices and no one is reflecting to themselves “was __ awkward in that brief conversation back there?”. “
Did __ seem nervous?”.

My actual suggestestions are basically the same as everyone else’s:

- practice, if one particular situation causes you a disproportionate amount of anxiety, put yourself in it as often as you can. For me it was public speaking, but after a decade of speaking in front of groups of people regularly it’s literally a no op now,

- gym, I have no idea what it is but walking around with a sore body boosts my confidence, not a big body, not lots of muscles; just a sore relatively fit body, if you do HIIT you’ll literally practice high physical stress scenario regularly (fast heart rate) and your body will be better equipped to handle operating under those circumstances, ie you’ll be more regulated and it will be easier to maintain a clear head under a “flight” response
.

- realizing that ultimately everyone is pretty preoccupied with their lives, most of the times when I speak most people aren’t even listening :p or they forget about it a minute after I talk, when I finally realized this it really helped me.

- listen more than you speak, ask open ended questions, take a general interest in the people you’re speaking with, if you show interest because you’re authentically interested in speaking to people and listening to people, they will open up, even in just regular normal everyday conversation, if you’re too nervous speaking right now, how about listening???

Not sure on this particular board, but Alpha machines of the era were using standard aluminum heatsinks. Lots of individual aluminum slabs with chunky fins. If you image search for "alphaserver cpu board" or similar you'll see some. The 4-bolt versions are newer.
What Asahi are doing is more like reverse engineering of drivers and the interface between drivers and hardware/firmware.

The issues Debian is talking about are more about the firmware blobs needed for WiFi devices. The Linux drivers exist and are included in Debian, but the software running on the WiFi device is proprietary software is not pre-installed on the device but instead uploaded by the Linux driver to the WiFi device at boot time and then runs on the WiFi device itself.
"free speech" (the idea) =/= "1st amendment" (codified in law).

A comment from a few months ago explains it in more words:

> I don't think that "common misconception" actually exists at all, that's just a rhetorical defense used by people who are trying to stifle free speech in practice.

>Many people want free speech, as a concept, ideal and aspect of living a safe and fulfilling life. When they are being deprived of that right, if they are in the USA, the people depriving them are quick to point out that the first amendment doesn't protect them... but that's completely irrelevant.

>As an example, imagine the constitution had a right which said "The federal government will not murder you". Then today, some people are murdering everyone they dislike, and when some people point out "we're afraid of getting murdered and want to live in a society where there isn't murder" and immediately internet commentary is full of people responding "Actually, you only have a right to not be murdered by the federal government, you're confused about how your murder rights work".

>It's not that the oppressed are confused about what's written in the Bill of Rights, it's that they care about the underlying ideal in a broad and practical way.

You can build new factories, but it takes time.
> “Equality” is a tricky concept, and various branches of mathematics have slightly different ideas (or axioms) of equality.

Due to my own circumstances I’m drawn to notions of equality that have pragmatic value. One of my favorite is Leibniz’s rule

x=y => f(x)=f(y)

I use that rule so frequently and effectively when reasoning about programs that pragmatically I’m not interested in a model where it doesn’t hold. It looks very simple, but it’s practically foundational for reasoning about predicate transformers.

Incidentally, I’d be really interested in a rigorous rendition of Dijkstra and Scholten’s work on program semantics in the language of category theory.
Calling people idiots for making mistakes is about the most boring thing I can imagine. I agree it shouldn’t be deleted, and that it’s interesting. But everyone flubs it from time to time, even people who like to think they’re above that.
I don't think something like Graviton would come close to half their opex.

Ampere, linked elsewhere, made a competitive chip with just half a billion in total funding, and most of that was to scale up after the prototypes were built.

Who knows, though. Nvidia's R&D expenses skyrocketed over the last five years and maybe Grace is a large part of it.
Electrostatic motors have been around in some form ever since the earliest experiments with (static) electricity, so they predate even electromagnetic motors. The high voltages required and their relatively low torque has kept them from gaining much use.

> You can probably drop the AI part altogether and have an always-running routine that takes over when collision is imminent based on relatively simple vector projection.

Umm, yeah…

Last week the collision avoidance on the truck decided a traffic sign was enough to sound the alarm and hit the brakes while going around a curve on a wet road in sub-freezing weather. Let’s just say that the pucker factor on that one was off the scale.

Actually, the truck was fairly intent on killing me for that leg of the trip since there were a few winding downhill sections, I was at maximum weight and the stupid robo-transmission would randomly downshift instead of just easing down the hills without using the brakes — or randomly upshift into redline which will cause all the important bits inside the engine to come flying through the hood if you don’t catch it immediately.

The thing that really gets my goat is the truck has the ability to be put into manual shift mode (specifically so it doesn’t do something stupid and kills a bus full of kids) but the company has it disabled for fuel economy reasons.

I mean, “move fast and break things” doesn’t really work so well when you’re taking 80,000lbs down an 8% grade and this freightliner is a buggy POS on the best of days.
Continuing the hypothetical, seems like a hydroelectric station would be easier and more consistent.

The cold hard truth that I realized I long time ago is what I call the “two strikes rule”. When you are short (as am I), you already have two strikes against you in society.

You can’t be “short and” - short and broke, short and mean, short and shy, short and fat (which I was until I was 18).

Once a behavior has been socially locked in as "virtuous", then doesn't it create an incentive for individuals to signal that virtue?
It says "USB broken out" which means the pins are available, you need to connect your own cable or port though.

It's also a microcontroller, which in general don't output video signals at all. You might be confusing it with a Raspberry Pi.
Hmm I wish the author would have mentioned the name of the relevant Obsidian plugins, since their plugin site is pretty bad to navigate, no sorting, can't open links in background tabs and stuff.

Beside that, I find these features pretty intriguing, but I wonder if I would want that inside a tool, or rather externally. Like a set of individual scripts, that operate on defined folders of text files, and then make use of the OS notification system to communicate, or along these lines.

The blog itself is also very interesting imo, subscribed to the feed.
We see the same dynamic in two-party politics.
I have read this several times over and have no idea how you could mean it which isn’t sexist af.

And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.

But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
No offense, but trusting third-party companies with financial data is unlikely for many people, they are probably more likely to write a scraper for their bank's horrible web interface or reverse engineer their bank's mobile app than do that.
Folks who found this article interesting will also appreciate Nathan Altice's book "I AM ERROR" which looks at how the NES's various technical decisions and limitations influenced the NES's lasting cultural legacy. The book contains a surprising amount of technical depth combined with history, business, and sociology. It's really excellent.
> That sounds interesting, but unless higher category theory has any meaningful applications to non-mathematicians learning math in high school or undergraduate, saying that any of this will replace the equals sign or the standard notion of equivalence relations is overselling it.

It's possible that our new understanding of equality as it appears in higher category theory and homotopy type theory will finally make working with proof assistants sufficiently practical for mathematicians, since it enables reasoning in a way that is closer to how mathematicians reason informally (treating isomorphic objects as equal, working with quotients, etc.). This area of research is obviously an active construction site, but we've seen incredible progress in the past two decades (e.g., cubical type theory).

In high school, we often work informally with notions that have a more formal treatment as one progresses to university and graduate school. For example, in high school, one might be introduced to calculus by learning some rules for calculating derivatives and antiderivatives. Later, in university, those calculations are justified by real analysis. One could imagine a similar treatment of equality: in high school, we learn how to do equational reasoning by substitution, and then in university maybe we'd learn about (for example) how equality is defined as an inductive family and how substitution is justified by its corresponding induction principle.

So, your comment seems a bit short-sighted or closed-minded to me, even if you're correct that this will not have any impact on high school mathematics. I just think that's a poor measuring stick for impact.
Probably because in a mild climate even conventional heating systems don’t cost much. There isn’t a lot of pressure to invest more in the system initially just to save only a small amount per month.
As a Christian, I’m both annoyed at someone creating this and the people who will inevitably fall for it.
Principally the thing it did right, having lived through the era, is bring a real video game home with Super Mario Bros.

At the time I had a C64 and an Atari 2600, but would spend every quarter I could dig up at the arcade at the bowling alley next door playing pretty much anything, but especially Super Mario Bros.

The Nintendo was the first console to bring the arcade home and it was absolutely revolutionary.
I believe this is the physicist who was a surfer with no academic position and so the media latched onto his surfer status as an interesting human interest piece. If I recall he has a Ph.D, though his theory was heavily criticized.
Neat idea, though it's not a definitive test. In my experience a microwave oven cavity provides about 40dB attenuation, and it's possible to maintain an LTE connection with that sort of path loss.

Hint: If you're ever doing radio work in the field and need an instant Faraday cage a microwave oven is a good candidate. Turn the power off first to reduce the risk of accidentally irradiating your device, but leave it plugged in to get an earth connection to the shield. (This is how I know an LTE connection can be maintained in a microwave oven.)
