I do agree that trying to make a consensual OS out of Windows is an uphill battle. If you're stuck using it, however, for whatever reason, a patchkit like this is better than nothing.
To be honest, atomic bomb was not need to US, as they always have huge advantage in conventional weapons over all enemies, but they have entered race, because Germany was first started and all others feel fear.

And now we encounter huge consequences, because Russia and China have nukes and could use them as terrorists, and US/Britain/EU have to listen to their mostly stupid demands.

All other technologies was achievable by all parties near simultaneously, so nobody get much enough advantage to win war.

Few times separate battles where won, because one side was there with technological advantage, and nothing more.
> Your legal argument is clearly false, or else torrent sites themselves wouldn’t exist. The Pirate Bay is legal!

Yes, so legal that Gottfrid, Fredrik and three more guys who founded the site got a fine of roughly 3 million USD and one year in jail for helping people commit copyright infringement. So very legal. Wtf dude?

If you think the existence of a site is proof of legality then I don't know what to tell you. Do you believe child porn is legal as well because such sites exists?

I don't know of any, but I would suspect that the alcohol itself has less of an impact on mood days later than the other compounds usually present like fusels, etc. Red wine makes me feel the worst afterwards, but I've gotten wasted on only drinks with refined liquor added and was hopping and skipping the morning after.

FWIW, I definitely don't deny that my privilege is showing.

I no longer work at Google, but whether I want to go into the office is probably heavily influenced by the fact that I have a ~15 minute door to door bike commute through a nice town (Ann Arbor) to my nice coworking space.

I think that the scary part to me about the idea of all jobs going remote is that "going remote" seems an antidote to:

- Bad office designs (no privacy, poor light, etc.)
- Bad urban planning (long commutes, poor transportation options)
- Bad coworkers

Of those three, only the "bad coworkers" one seems inevitable that some people will have to deal with. (After all, those people need to work somewhere.)

If I had to commute two hours a day to work in an office with no privacy, my opinion on this would surely be different. One of the people on my team at Google lived in Oakland and commuted to Mountain View every day: that sounded awful. But we also don't have to design offices to offer no privacy and we know how to design better cities that don't offer horrific commutes.

While you can habituate to it and will after several years, it's still a ghastly condition that can come back and negatively impact you. Personally, I have it since birth and have never experienced silence. Most of the time, I cannot hear it but it's always there lurking behind a thin veil of distractions.

I recently caught the covid virus. The symptoms were bad but far from what annoyed me the most from it. The worst is how since I have had it, my tinnitus is back to the forefront of my life and louder than ever. Many people who have managed to ignore their tinnitus will have it come back when they are exhausted, tired, sick, stressed, etc.

Being dismissive and saying you can learn to ignore it is not really helpful, this is true of most conditions. This article however offers a tangible cure.

Not to be dismissive either but the ringing from hearing music that is too loud is the mildest case most commone case of tinnitus that exists and will often simply reduce by a large margin on its own. Chronic tinnitus is defined as a tinnitus that lasts more than six months.

In my case, it's at the level of a lawnmower behind a thin wall when at it's worst and mosquito near the ear when at it's mildest. In some other cases, it's car engine and even jet engine level. To me your message (while probably not on purpose) comes across like someone with an amputated finger talking to someone with two amputated legs about how you can learn to live with it (especially with the talk about selection bias, which is useful when looking at trends but not when talking to individuals). Yes you can control it and yes it's the same medical condition. But it's not the same beast.

> I would expect a copy-on-write filesystem to be able to do this automatically for free.

this is an artifact of how handles work (in relation to concurrency), not the filesystem.

copy-on-write still guarantees a consistent view of the data, so if you write on one handle you're going to clobber the data on the other, because that's what's in the file.

what you really want is an operator which says "I want this handle to point to the original snapshot of this data even if it's changed in the meantime", which a CoW filesystem could do, but you'd need some additional semantics here (different access-mode flag?) which isn't trivially granted just by using a CoW filesystem underneath.

I really wanted to love nvim, because I think that some philosophies it tries to follow better match my way of thinking. However, I tried several times to configure it to match 1:1 my vim config and to stick to it, but there are several edge cases that vim solves better. Additionally, nvim with my workflow crashes sometimes, while vim doesn't.

Not if people downvote rather than responding to nonproductive contributions. The problem isn't the rules around good faith when responding, the problem is people feeling obliged to respond.
Yeah, my example was bad. I was more trying to point out that determinism of the intrinsic action is a pre-condition to the idempotency, in order to make and verify the assurance required.

You could easily split the deterministic action, and comparison/verification against existing state into two different Pure functions. Being able to perform the verification separately is valuable for addressing the "at most once", "at least once", and "exactly once" assurance described in another comment in this the thread.

I was casually opening my scope up to the outer state, in the example, to express the "assurance" portion of the definition. But you're correct, it's an erroneous example that doesn't pass the more rigorous definition of Pure Determinism, when applied the local scope of the function.
And how cruel for this to be so widely publicized.

I definitely agree that scientific understanding mental health is pretty low, but I don't believe the methodologies are flawed. They are the best we have at the moment and they work well enough for the common cases. (Drugs vs therapy is a different problem.)

Anyone with a non-trivial case ends up in informed (or poorly-informed) guesses territory.

> Most things are actually just reactions to trauma.

I don't think this is quite correct. Mental illnesses have a lot of overlapping and contradictory criteria because all of the categories are rough patterns.

Many share the same symptoms of trauma and people with mental illness are more likely to have trauma.

This does not mean the majority of mental illness is caused by traumatic events.
Fiduciary duty, such as it is, only extends to dollar value; and there is no other criteria to sue the board over.

Note that I'm all for companies having much more legal responsibility to other stakeholders, not just shareholders, but that is somewhat irrelevant for a discussion of whether the board could be successfully sued over adopting this decision.
>pee: tee standard input to pipes

Nice tool, great name.
The major hangups are that cars are inherently more likely to cause a collision and are significantly deadlier if a collision occurs. They have a much larger hitbox, they weigh several tons, they cannot maneuver easily and rapidly, they have visibility obstructions (like the A-block), and the internal environment of a car has potential distractions that take their attention off of the street. By contrast, bicycles are small, weigh an order of magnitude less, have no blind spots, and can execute dramatic maneuvers to avoid collisions. Cyclists should have the option but not the obligation to exercise additional restraint at intersections because their risk profile is dramatically different.

Stop signs are so common in North America because they serve as "bolted-on" traffic calming, which is necessary to force drivers to proceed at safe speeds and pay attention to their environment. In addition to vehicles within the intersection, you also have to look for people crossing at the crosswalks, and dedicated bicycle crossings if the intersection is so enlightened as to have them.
I forgot to add that before 2015-ish, I've not heard this kind of stuff from these relatives. And their main hangouts are Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, the usual suspects.

I believe in their mind, they're getting "the truth" and know better. But the reality is it's... self-propagandization.

When 50 channels say you're wrong but you find one that tells "the truth"... I dunno, it's like the common sense circuits have been fried.

Just like people in Russia are brainwashed by the state media, so do these people brainwash themselves online, likely reinforced by the recommendation systems used on the major platforms.

Which I notice on Youtube, btw, and it always skews towards some dumb/funny or just idiotic content. View a couple of funny videos and that's all I get for the rest of the month. I mostly watch stuff like DIYPerks, various machine & history stuff, tutorials on a lot of things and listen to music, but I never get good, or any, recommendations on that. Although to be completely fair, I don't subscribe to anything, just mostly look it up after Google+Wikipedia.

If 'less time in the intersection' is actually safer, wouldn't it be safer for cars too?
Fair enough, at most as stop signs.

California Considers the Four-Day Workweek
Tinnitus is mentionned in the first paragraph of the article. Talking about the suicide rate is usually a simple way to get people who know nothing of the condition to understand how serious it is, most people imagine the faint temporary noise that happens after listening to a loud movie but it's much more worst than that.

I grant you, some people who use "trigger warnings" would have added one before talking about suicide rates. I however do not use them outside mental health forums and such.
In Ruby, everything is an object too (actually even more so than in Java) and in dynamically typed languages, generic type parameters of course don't exist, so I don't understand how those things matter to Clojure or (J)Ruby. Garbage collection pauses may be slow on the JVM, but Java is still miles faster than Ruby (idk about clojure).
> The effect is statistical not psychological.

It is, though. This article says that if people are bad at estimating their skill (towards randomness / the midpoint), then bad people will overestimate, and good people will underestimate.

The psychological part is that people indeed will assume they're closer to the mean than they actually are. DK effect would not be seen if people correctly estimated their skill, nor if experts overestimated, nor if the incompetent underestimated.

Software vendors have two modes.

1. A partnership/consultancy where they sell a platform that is customized for a small number of large clients.

2. Solving one area well, then trying to cram as many customers through the fixed solution as possible.

The author is more critical of the second type, but both are completely rational approaches. Obviously anyone can listen to customer feedback, but the economics of software strongly favor a volume approach rather than treating every customer as a development partner.
That’s normal inflation for health care.
Windows-On-Reins: enhance privacy, improve performance on Windows 10 and 11
I bought a Kobo Libra 2 quite recently, after an FBReader update on my ancient iPad rendered it useless. With out really even giving the built-in software a chance, I installed KOReader and tried to load an 18MB ePub containing every Wheel of Time book in a single file. It look it almost 3 minutes to open the file. Every rotation of the device took it another 3 minutes to re-flow the text.

Conversely, using the built-in software on the Kobo, the file opened in a few seconds. Device rotations were basically instant.

I don't know if I missed an obvious setting or if my ePub was fundamentally flawed in some fashion. For now, though, I'm sticking to the built-in software and just side loading files over the USB C port.

Yes, LVT solves problems at multiple levels (removes barriers to zoning reforms and incentivizes more productive use of land).

It’s also politically difficult to get passed. However, it seems if we were to try to turn the tide on just one policy, it would be LVT, as it solves a lot of other political problems downstream.
His argument hinges on the notion that the common public perception that shouting fire in a public theater is not protected speech is somehow false. But the article he references directly contradicts his assertion.
March 3, 1919, <Supreme Court> Justice Holmes wrote: ‘The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a theatre and causing a panic.’
That seems pretty clear to me. Free speech does NOT include the ability to create a clear and present danger to public safety. (The clear and present danger language also exists in the same Supreme Court ruling)

Not that I think Elon would be a good steward of public speech since he has the habit of using twitter to illegally manipulate the stock market and defame hero rescuers. Just pointing out that the argument presented is a bit shaky.

Which makes it clear why this was such a lowball offer. IMO he never entertained the notion that his offer would be accepted. It was all a troll. 54.20 indeed.
Except they were right. With the recent admission that the virus is airborne it is obvious that 99% of masks used by the public were useless, as all health officials first stated before mandating them. Same as social distancing, disinfecting surfaces... All unnecessary theatre

And just the "if you have COVID stay at home for 10 days and do NOTHING, unless you start feeling very unwell" is pretty bad advice anyway, I will always prefer to have any existing working treatment for other virus than nothing

I was prepared to mock this before I even clicked, but I have to say this looks like a nice set of tools that follow the ancient Unix philosophy of "do one thing, play nice in a pipeline, stfu if you have nothing useful to say".

I don't think it's a good idea to rely on any of these being present. If you write a shell script to share and expect them to be there, you aren't being friendly to others, but for interactive command line use, I'm happy to adopt new tools.

That fact that you have to outright lie shows that your position is wrong.
I suspect this is largely due to DDG using Bing under the hood, which has led to similar weirdness in the past, eg all major porn sites disappearing from the results in Singapore (while Google still showed them, mind you!).
