It's fine. I'm just sick and fucking tired of people acting like god damn know it all's over things we are all still just figuring this all out over. We learn more every day, but we also find more to learn as well.

AT the end of the day, the symptoms they mention are what I felt. This is not hypochondria or illness anxiety disorder as referenced as now apparently.

I was actually concerned that it was possibly just my mind playing tricks on me. But taking things like omega 3 seem to have helped, and not taking them from time to time seemed to make it worse again. Among some other things I was testing out before that.

So color me surprised when an article that states the very two symptoms I was experiencing appears. Hmmm... perhaps maybe the toxic people out there could fuck off and accept that some of us are not having the same fucking ride that the rest of you are, or believe is happening?

Is that so fucking hard? Not to be rude to you or anything, just being blunt and frank at this point because I'm kind of tired of this sites more toxic motherfuckers.
There's valid criticism to be said about the corporate structure and culture which allowed this all to happen, we're all in agreement on that, but the lawsuit (while probably not accomplishing exactly what they'd hoped for) is legit if you ask me, in the sense that a journalist must take responsibility for the stories they put out and the informants they trust.

I'm not a journalist so I don't know how these things are supposed to go, but shouldn't Krebs have verified his sources identity before publishing? Isn't that a thing journalists are supposed to do?

That said I think Krebs was right to publish the story at the time, but when it became clear that Adam actually was Sharp the story should have been retracted. Perhaps Krebs should even issue an apology at that time?
The reality is the pandemic fear mongers won't cite fataility rates for groups like 5 year olds, because the data doesn't support steps taken.

They won't cite data about N95 use because N95's DO work, and if we just let people who wanted to / were at risk wear N95's we'd solve half the problem right there without burdening anyone else. And yes, N95's with a vent are fine and should be encouraged because they make mask wearing a LOT easier.

Instead we are just fed endless BS. Citing the CDC and WHO is pointless because their stuff was not actually grounded in science but in BS. Witness their loud announcements that travel restrictions (time honored method to reduce spread) was racist and wouldn't reduce spread. Or that masks don't work etc. You have an airbone disease, masks probably help. You have a transmittable disease, reducing travel may help.
You literally said to just accept it as something superpowers do. How is saying not to judge them anything but excusing Russia?
This is why you need to think before your disclose. If you know a cool trick, instead of telling everyone, consider the possibility that people rely on said trick and to disclose it would spoil it for them.
I would play chess against my mom as a kid. She'd read a book while playing. I'd spend a long time considering my next move, and she'd just look away from her book for a moment for hers.

She always won handily :-)

Much later, it occurred to me to wonder what her chess playing past was, but by then it was too late.
> We fucked kids the last two years and it requires some serious mental gymnastics to rationalize it away.

How, exactly? Teen mental health has been in decline for decades now.

It seems to me that some people just don't want to take responsibility for fucking their own kids up.
Ultimately I see Jack's comment as criticism of letting few commercial organizations to control our self discovery and identity rather than particular regrets about Twitter.
Wow!

Can someone help me describe the rhetorical device being used here? “Pyrrhic victory” comes to mind, which describes a win where the cost was so severe it outweighs the benefits, like considering “heating old castles” to be an environmental win while the cost of such is running roughshod over the rest of the world’s environment, but that’s the name for a concept that describes this argument, not the rhetorical device.
There's a lot of this type of "bro-science" in the language learning community as well. And what you'll often find when you dig into any of these topics (programming, linguistics, weightlifting) there is usually solid science somewhere that everyone just kinds of ignores for the types of rules that just seem to "make sense" in some way.

And I think at the heart of it too is when you interrogate certain topics too much the answer will often boil down to "We don't know" and that's something that's really hard for people to grapple with if they're not used to admitting it.
Eventually a single file won't scale. Maybe not in the lifetime of your project, but you never know. If a day comes and you have a 500,000+ line file that must be split into separate files, that could be a nightmare. Why not just follow best practices from the beginning and separate your programming logic into different logical/related units?

Similarly having the discipline to separate your programming logic into different files will force you to think about the architecture(or lack thereof) of your program. This is a good thing. The Java "one file for one class" model is overkill IMO, but it does force programmers to discipline themselves by thinking in terms of namespaces/classes when they write code, which for beginners at least is not a terrible thing.

Obviously version control is another reason. Hard to get work done if everyone is working on the same file.

It also will make it easier for someone else to grok your program. When I git clone someone else's large project, I start trying to understand the project by writing down what each folder and file is designed to do before I go any further. I suppose if everything was in one file I would just have to do the same for functions, but what if there were thousands of them? Imagine if a large program like WordPress, Doom, the Linux Kernel etc was a single file?

TLDR: For small one person projects, no big deal. Otherwise, it's just a bad/unscalable practice.
But why put yourself in a position where you may need use them if you gain no benefit from it?

As I remember it, Skylake machines were pretty thin on the ground in 2015 due to early issues; 2016 or 2017 would be a more reasonable origin date. Most SKUs didn't even launch til 2016, and Kaby Lake desktop processors only seem to have shown up in mid-2017.
A friend of mine just told me she had a doc for years that was kinda cool. But something was off with him, she just couldn't point out what.

One day he told her, he's 80 years old and it hit her like a bus. Today, you usually don't interact with such old people in a professional manner anymore. Most people retire after 65 and many don't even live until 80.

He got some extra money from the government if he kept working in the village, because no docs want to work there anymore. Since he was fit, he did it.

This year he became 90 and finally retired.
Thank you.

I wouldn't be putting up this stink if I wasn't sure this applied to me somehow. The headaches were shit to put up with, the mental fog I was able to deal with and get rid of, but the anxiety just did not fucking quit.

Not till I started using omega 3. I really want this looked into if possible.
macos also dropped support for 2015 hardware in Big Sur..
I use ExplorerPatcher and it works well.

I do find it unacceptable that an OS needs 3rd party customization expose options to make the interface usable.

If I wanted that experience I'd just buy a Mac.
Probably because it's painfully obvious that "Bitcoin is good for the environment" cannot possibly be true, and rather than expend energy unpicking the logical fallacy in the reasoning they'd rather downvote and move on.
I'm kinda thinking of emergent patterns that can be observed in aggregate trends, that do not have obvious ~logical causality behind them.

It's kind of a hard question to ask.
Put the DB on docker (or provide some other one touch way to install a clean database). Run all migration scripts to get a current schema, insert sample data, now do your testing. Then make this part of the build process. Then, be sure that you detect after the migrations that the regression tests are failing and prevent merge. The key is having a DB that can be recreated as a nearly an atomic operation.
I see no reason why mesh networking should need a huge amount more power than traditional mobile data. If we take the assumption that the vast majority of potential mesh members are unwanted (ie. you are not running a 'fully open' mesh network) then you can trivially ignore data that does not match an originator to which you have pre-approved listening. Similar to ethernet MAC filtering, I believe this is how implementation works in silicon. And indeed this seems to be the case. https://docs.kernel.org/driver-api/80211/mac80211.html?highl...

If you were relaying a lot of traffic for approved peers, then sure you are going to have a higher power profile. However, if you are doing this on an ongoing basis you are probably not battery-constrained (eg. you are connected to a larger power supply such as a vehicle, etc.) and you are potentially talking lower signal strength and closer peers. So it's really an application-specific concern.
> You're listing off a bunch of factors *that would be very hard to measure *exactly and then concluding they don't add up to 100%

Which is why it is unexplained. i.e. We don't have strong confidence in the causal structure. No one is really disagreeing with this. But to create causal graphs you have to have... causes. If you can't measure something well then you can't form that graph well.

Part of the issue may be that there are cohorts of people who will go to the hospital as a matter of course even with mild COVID symptoms.

If the original commenter didn't want to use Windows anyway, then they've not lost anything. Presumably they did want to use Windows, and are not because of this issue, so they have lost some benefit they originally wanted, and gained nothing because their system was already controlled by MS. Hence it's pointless.
But this is a draw. Black plays Kg2 on any of the first three moves. I can't tell who's hustling whom in this story because as described, none of the three participants can be far above beginners.

Maybe the Black king was on e4 and the story would work?
Old school days? When it was literally academics, researchers and those of us lucky enough to live near research centers? Ok.
> Why would the law prohibit me from buying a $1 shirt that lasts 1 week and instead buy a $50 shirt that lasts a year?

Because society has to bear the cost of the environmental degredation of manufacturing and disposing of that $1 shirt. The price signal doesn't include the externalities.
Its author, Hixie, was only one of the people who decided on web standards, and he didn't win every argument, so some of the behavior that eventually got standardized wasn't the behavior Hixie thought was best at the time he wrote Acid3. He did win most of the arguments by virtue of writing the HTML5 spec, but without the buy-in of browser implementors HTML5 would have been irrelevant. Also sometimes he was wrong about things.
Ok fair. It either missed the point or was unbelievable on point.
I feel like I may have seen this notification once, but there was an easy “no thanks” option. That didn’t seem nearly as bad as this.
So, maybe I'm misremembering, but wasn't Windows 10 meant to be the forever-Windows? I'm almost sure there was some marketing to that effect from Redmond at the time.
Made a small adjustment to improve clarity in that paragraph. Thanks :)
As a founder in the health-tech space (sleep-tech/neuro-tech in particular), I think it's more than just related to health-insurance.

My take is it isn't just the tech side of health that is scammy. In sleep and neuro, we see all sorts of products which make outrageous claims that they say are backed by "science" from leading research organizations, but when you go looking for the research, there is nothing there!

I think sometimes people want to believe their own BS. I wonder how often the people selling/peddling their wares believe what they are saying, or just don't care.

We're being very cautious in our GTM to make sure we build a lasting and trusted company at https://soundmind.co
Square uses AI to detect, mitigate inauthentic activity.

Twitter uses AI to boost inauthentic activity.

Perhaps if Twitter had adopted Square's strategy from the start, its current market cap would be more comparable.
IANAL either, but. For MIDI, a public-domain work might be just mechanically converted into notes of a 'MIDI score'. Probably very flat-sounding, but technically that transcription [0] may (probably) be PD.

(E.g. My handwritten copy of a PD short story is probably PD. But my reading of it isn't.)

BUT if some famous piano player performed for the MIDI recording, then you've got tempo changes, timing, attack velocities, all that data in the file as well. Probably not PD (best to ask). (As with piano-player rolls.)

How do masks work on the flu virus but not on COVID

It sounds like you have been dealing with a lot of ineffective health theater. That is unfortunate. But that's a very different thing from "cloth/surgical masks are largely ineffective".
How much money was on the table?
I really enjoyed this. It's always surprising how focussing on a teeny tiny part of a topic can clarify so much around it. There's so much complexity in and around compilers, it's very intimidating

If that's what you think you've read, then I don't know how to re-explain!
I believe that all children are born with a burning passion for learning. Some then have it beaten out of them by a slow, routine, inhuman education system that crushes individual creativity.

I try to make up for it with my own children by sending them to regular school, but then encouraging them to self-teach the things that interest them.

I'm sorry that you are unsatisfied in your work. Perhaps if it were economically viable, a long sabbatical would allow you to find more meaning in your life and perhaps a new career. I wish we could all do that when nescessary.
Windows 11 for ARM cannot be installed at all without an internet connection. I imagine it's only a matter of time before this applies to Intel as well.
That is not why people use Snapchat, it's for privacy from other people, not privacy from the corporation itself.
Well if you consider him brilliant then perhaps you would believe him when he says that talent isn't nearly as important as studying.
I stunk at chess in college because I'd spend my time thinking about how to write a program to play chess rather than my next move. My favorite book was:

"Chess Skill in Man and Machine"
https://www.amazon.com/Chess-machine-monographs-computer-sci...

which inspired parts of the computer strategy in the game Empire.

Chess playing programs have gotten so good these days, there's not really any percentage in writing one.
I get what you're trying to say here, but no, when I said "cult", I meant "an actual cult". Not just a bunch of people with fringe beliefs. :)
Any apartment building has corridors and halls to get to apartments. Any expensive city has small apartments. Any high-end apartment (or big complex in a city) has a doorman/front desk.
Of course, while these rules were in place, any schoolkid could go to a restaurant with their parents and enjoy a meal together in peace for hours if they so wished.

No rhyme, no reason.
Side bets would be gambling, but player take would be income (skill).

I’m sorry that’s happened to you, but now you’ve piqued my curiosity - what kind of car gets this type of attention?
> And yet there is scant evidence hospitals ever were at risk.

My parents' friend had to delay a surgery after a heart attack in Minneapolis this winter because so many places were booked. I heard similar issues in New Hampshire. Nobody seemed to talk about it at that point, maybe because it's hard to quantify "strain" or exactly how many people died or otherwise suffered as a result.
> We all know the conclusions are constantly evolving. That's why all "health authorities" are useless.

That doesn't follow. Evolving conclusions are what you get and almost want (even better would be someone who guesses everything correctly beforehand, but ... that's not how it works) in a changing situation. That doesn't mean people drawing the conclusions are useless, nor do their conclusions have to be perfect to be useful - as long as they are better than the ones the people who'd have to draw them instead would. And at least around here, given the choice between politicians deciding with or without the health authorities involved, yeah, it's pretty obvious which one I want.

And besides, that wasn't even the point of the comment chain, but rather people claiming that conclusions are constantly evolving was somehow hidden.
Penance. There is no forgiveness without sufficient contrition.
I am not a great dev but having worked long enough in the industry I know where to push back on the macro level and that allows me to build things with incredible speed.

So much effort is spent on building the wrong things for the wrong reasons.
For me because in these sort of bespoke Linux setups I've found that temp / mem usage needs to be watched for spikes a lot more than something like my Mac. I run a fairly large typescript monorepo, and when I'm also running a zoom screenshare it's something I need to be aware of.

I'm running an arch setup, and because it's fairly barebones I needed to learn about temp / power control regulators like TLP.
Yes as a matter of fact I do believe people see lava lamps in digital media more often than in real life. I am one example of such a person. Lava lamps are an American thing largely, so if you want to see them you need to bring one from America or go to America to see it. What is the alternative? Lava lamp in the media, where you can look at it many times, but it is always a rerun.
Once a year when Apple does an OS release isn’t too unreasonable. Apple’s iOS policy is completely unreasonable, but IMO Mac has stayed quite ok. The only thing I really don’t like is the rigmarole you have to click through when opening an app from the internet for the first time, but that can be turned off (and it will stay off)
Npr is a governmental new source and thie government has been pushing scare tactics to make people get vaccinated so unfortunately I rate this as zero credibility unless you show me actual data.
Are there any tips for getting into exercise or any other approaches you can recommend? I'm coming up to the 1 year anniversary of a covid infection and even though I don't have any physical symptoms, the last 12 months have been a constant fight with burnout and depression that, similar to you, I have not experienced before.

Therapy has been tremendously helpful, but more as a coping mechanism - I have not been able to get back to "normal" yet.
You can go to Reddit on like the anti-work sub and read all about how all the worlds problems are from boomers. And boomers had it so easy and pulled the ladder up after them.

On the other hand, I know a lot of people that have way better lives than their parents, me included.
Boomers are directly and almost solely responsible for the current partisan mechanics undermining American civics. They've also held on to power far too long, and impose way too much influence for people whose judgment and behavior over the last 5 decades have seriously endangered the continuity of anything resembling principled American government.

Some of us peons are a little pissed at the people who looted the system and kicked the can to future generations.

The pandemic response is a perfect example of the ineptitude and lackadaisical attitude those in power have towards their responsibility to maintain and preserve the things that make America good. Nobody will be held responsible for the negligence, corruption, or outright malicious injury.
"Letting you all know about the rebrand of the project" is still unwanted marketing that no project should engage in. Whether it's going to be continuous or not doesn't change that.
I was expecting more as well. Not much information to glean from a barebones press release.

If I had to guess, it probably was an issue with scheduling/timetable software rather than anything to do with the trains, rails, etc. Nothing exceedingly seriously or difficult to correct.
Heh. Rural Canada here, growing up. Tried to fix one myself, same reason, hard to get.

Ran into the resin, gave up, but your story made me laugh, and brought back a picture, in my mind, of that resin.

> That's really only a thing for the private universities and those don't make up a large percentage

That's not true in my experience. In my state and surrounding states, most of the large state schools care a great deal about extracurriculars.
I find the best method is:

1. Figure out what needs doing and what code you need to use

2. Refactor the code you're using until the new code or change is easy

3. Make the change

4. Tidy and document.

Repeat

I often also document during step 1, while I am trying to understand code and realise that comments are missing.
I think there's a few false dichotomies? Either warm castles with electricity Bitcoin OR warm them with gas; Bitcoin is better than gas (is it actually though? where's the electricity come from?), therefore Bitcoin is "good". No mention of not heating the leaky old castles at all.
> Nearly all of it ends up in the lymph nodes near your armpit

Not sure how the situation is in other countries but in Germany they started recommending aspiration (used to make sure no blood vessel is hit) a few months ago due to concerns of the mRNA getting into your blood stream and causing adverse effects like that.

No guarantees, but a feature flag or canary deploy can significantly increase likelihood of impacting a targeted subset of users.
>Third gender is the term used in India for transgender.

Aaaah. That makes sense.

The reason that was unusual to me was because, in the West, currently, the prevailing view/jargon is that there's genders, and each gender can be "cis" or "trans". More controversially, there are also non-binary people, who may report no gender, a mix of genders, or a gender other than "man"/"woman". That would be your usage of "third gender".
