Look harder.

April 19th, 2020.

Look at the reported deaths before and after; skyrocking, then straight to zero.

Then look at the arrests (on that same day) of activists who had been reporting the coverups and censorship that had been happening since the very beginning.

If you dare to know how deep it goes, look at those activists Github page. Use google translate in Chrome.
Right angles have a small box near the vertex which denotes it is a right angle [0].

This symbol doesn't have that box, so I don't think it's a right angle.

Edit: This merely adds to the confusion, since the name of the glyph contains the words "right angle."

I was very surprised by your comment and by the article you linked that the name Aditya cannot be represented in Unicode. I think it can be represented: আদিত্য.

I am not a Bengali-speaker, but I am familiar with the class of scripts to which the Bengali script belongs, abugidas. These scripts assume a vowel following every consonant. When two consonants occur one after the other in a word (a consonant cluster), this must be represented specially, because if you just wrote (consonant, consonant) it would be pronounced (consonant, inherent vowel, consonant).

The "ty" in Aditya is one such consonant cluster. The way this cluster is written is ত্য. This is represented as three code points (I think I am messing up the proper terms), one for the "t", one to "join", and one for "y".

Some people think of the special shape that the final "y" as a separate character on its own. In fact, it has it's own name (ya-phalā). I can understand why it would be confusing to see that the ya-phalā can't be typed as its own single character (" ্য"), but it really has to do with a difference in how the input is is implemented and how the person thinks about their own language.

In fact, on the unicode.org site, typing this very character is part of the FAQ for Bengali:
https://unicode.org/faq/bengali.html#6
Actually historically most generic implementations do not monomorphize either except as an optimisation: Java, C# (at least for complex types), most functional languages use some sort of type erasure. C++ and, I think, ADA were the exceptions, although it has proven more popular with newer languages.

Looks pretty interesting. Note this is a coupling technology, i.e. the power input is at the reduction stage when iron oxide is reduced back to metallic iron via the use of hydrogen (generating water). To make it a non-fossil process, you have to scale up hydrogen-from-water using wind/solar:

> "The resulting iron oxide is a solid material, so it can be captured after the combustion process. It is then reused by regenerating it with green hydrogen into flammable iron fuel. In this way, iron fuel offers a revolutionary method to store energy in a circular and carbon-free fashion."

It has some real advantages over shipping hydrogen, as hydrogen is tricky to work with, relative to methane. There is an alternative process, developing direct-air-capture of atmospheric CO2 and using the hydrogen to reduce the CO2 to CH4, which has the advantage of being able to use existing natural gas pipelines for transport and distribution. In contrast this iron process has some long-term storage advantages; it could serve as a way to store excess wind/solar power over longer periods i.e. months. The notion it could be used to fuel long-distance shipping is also intriguing: ships could use hydrogen to regenerate their iron fuel at the end of each voyage.

However this all depends on massive scale-up of hydrogen-from-water. That hydrogen can be used in many industrial processes, including also fossil-fuel-free steel production. Without that, this iron process can't be run at any scale.
1. Iron is heavy -- This means it costs more to transport iron fuel, compared to lighter fuels like methane, propane, or butane (aka: gasoline).

2. Iron is dense -- ?? Not discussed in the webpage. But something like Hydrogen (despite being very light) takes up a lot of space. Hydrogen is so light that its volume becomes a problem. Iron does seem to solve that issue at least.

3. Iron is renewable -- Iron turns into Rust, and the rust can turn back into Iron easily. This makes Iron more comparable to Redox-flow batteries or Hydrogen.

----------

Funny thing is: I was just discussing with someone else in my social circles about how Iron/Rust is exactly the same process as battery-chemistries. Just... worse. Iron-electricity has less voltage than Li-ion or Zinc, or other elements.

But the Iron -> Rust -> Iron process is a well known process for "storing energy". We just usually don't care about the energy storage part, and more about the physical properties of Iron, and preventing it from turning into Rust (which is weaker, redder, more stains, etc. etc.).

Experimenting with Iron-based energy storage seems like it'd be destined for failure? Its one of the oldest elements and the chemical process has been known for a while. However, the only way to be sure that its a bad idea is to try it. So we should experiment with it, at least a little bit, to really make sure that we didn't miss anything here. Iron is a hugely abundant element after all... if at all else, it can be used as a "cheap" energy storage mechanism as opposed to a "quality" energy storage mechanism.

After all, a lot of our energy is just wasted (ex: Solar Panels during the peak days just turn off). Instead of turning off solar panels when the grid is overloaded, maybe store the excess electricity in cheap iron? 40% round-trip efficiency is still better than 0%.
I would have agreed with you completely until I got married and discovered that it's not the freezing that does it, but the thawing. It's all in how you thaw.

Now I pull the loaf out a few hours before it's needed and let it thaw at room temperature in the pantry. Definitely leave it sealed.

I laugh now thinking about how as kids we put the bread in the microwave on defrost. That makes some damn nasty bread :-D
I also remember INTERLNK but IIRC it was using a null-modem cable on the serial port, not parallel port.
I think you misunderstood me. I am not saying they don't deserve support. I am saying that the government can support people in a way that is not so bureaucratic. Pay the institutions like schools, daycare, etc directly and don't burden the parents with requesting benefits and sending around enormous amounts of money. The institutions can apply for government money for each child they have to take care of. And the parents can just go to work and not move around swats of money.

On of the examples in a mother with 3 children who had to pay back a hundred thousand Euro that were classified as wrongly received benefits. That means she received tens of thousands of Euros per year! What an insane burden to put on mother.

If something goes wrong the consequences are gigantic. Just like it happened in this scandal.

It's pretty easy. I put the data in a bind mount on btrfs on my synology NAS. It snapshots the FS and does an incremental backup with hyper backup each night. The backup is crash coherent, zero downtime, and the RDBMS doesn't need to know about it.

This is really useful for tiny little services that each want a different database server.

> Reference counting and mark-sweep go together.

You mean the sweep phase goes through and cleans out all the objects with zero reference counts?

I always thought the point of reference counting was to deallocate the object once the count goes to zero (which is why people complain it is slow as it can lead to cascading effects).

As to “most GC's are based on the mark-sweep algorithm” — I have a whole folder of papers on different GC algorithms, probably not the rabbit hole you want to go down if you have something you’re happy with. The minischeme interpreter I poke at every once in a while has a super simple GC that I have to resist messing with because it Just Works™ and I’d be chasing my tail for who knows how long getting another one working.
Personally I think the paradigm is not the right battle. OO is a child of modular programming, with other ingredients but to me the real pain point is aiming at low coupling subsystems to be able to iterate at low cost and navigate unknown problems or adapt to customer/market changes.

There's also the middle layer trick (ala middle ground DSLs).

But the goal is the same, ability to converge quickly on a proper solution. Something I rarely see talked about (but my radar has a short scope)

It changes every time your salary changes and when you take unpaid leave, even if only for a few days. For a dual income household this is already a bother because of the details you have to enter. For households with lower incomes it also doesn't stop with child care subsidies, but also a health care, rent, and an additional child specific subsidy to manage. Now consider that many people in lower income brackets do not have a fixed salary but one dependant on hours worked (think retail staff etc.), and you can almost guarantee that you will receive too much at some point, which will be reclaimed.

Compared with the ten minutes filing taxes takes here (with everything prefilled and rarely a need to change anything) this system is a high-risk travesty that wastes a nation's time.
The Cold Start Problem, by Andrew Chen, devotes a chapter to this as a case study. I don’t recall it covering these negative aspects, which are obviously important to consider. Still a great book for startup growth ideas though.
The need for stricter border security is well established. When our borders are not secure as one political party tends to favor, poor Mexicans die and drug cartels gain money and power. Maybe a fence along with other measures, increasing patrols, harsher penalties, is actually the most humane solution to Mexican drug cartel problem?
In response to these kind of stories, the comment sections online are always filled with crypto advocates upset about the organization not taking their money. This really makes clear who needs who. Crypto needs wikipedia much more than wikipedia needs crypto.

Wikipedia is not hard up for cash (if you earnestly believe their begging ads, you must be naive. Give me a break.) But crypto is hard up for legitimacy.

I'm thinking of switching to security and kind of assumed it would be the same, especially seeing the ostensibly high entry requirements. Sounds promising, thank you for the insight

Like this advice isn't security related. It's HR related. They aren't experts like you in X. They were told to hire X and they wrote a job listing hoping to attract the best cost efficiency candidate there is. They want as many options as possible. Always apply to all. In fact, high entry requirements can work to your benefit. Everyone else sees ridiculous requirements and doesn't apply. Leave you the only candidate and you're hired.

A PHD in machine learning is all the certification you ever need. You should be employable in that field. Apply to all the machine learning jobs.

Bartholomew and Climbing the Rating Ladder series fan. I sure wish he'd focus on those videos more than his live streaming. The former is much more educational than the latter.
On Windows, it's amazing how confusing permissions are.

Seemingly everything needs admin permission to run. If the program can't get admin permission from you, it can probably just ignore that and do stuff like install to %appdata%. Chrome does this, for example, apparently to fix a bug where work place administrators didn't want their users installing programs with administrative permission. Chrome or anyone else can just fix that bug by using a windows-level exploit feature.

You can never really be sure what's happening when you install a mystery .exe file until you just install it. Sometimes you can exploit things with hack tools to take a peak inside I guess, but that doesn't seem to work very well most of the time in my opinion.

This horrible permission management system is why a lot of games only work on Windows. If they want to make sure players aren't cheating, the way they do that is by installing root kit level malware. We call that anticheat. It's amazing how that's a standard procedure that can just work on a computer. It also has a history of entitled devs screwing it up big time (Sony) or even doing it very poorly which causes huge performance drops like we see in most modern recent games.

Modern Warfare 2019 crashed and corrupted my OS which was on an encrypted drive. This lead to a 100% data loss for me. I'm 90% sure the root reason to this was the root kit anti cheat bugging out on top of awful coding / performance and bugginess in general we see everywhere in that game.

I don't understand how Windows still works off of you receiving packages at your door and the only way to verify its safety is guess that the timing of your package syncs up with what you ordered and the packaging looks like what you got, and to have hope that the place that packed it wasn't malicious. While nearly all programs do include bombs (unwanted tracking / malware / bad design), usually they're just fairly harmless firecrackers. The only way to open your package up is to put it on the flammable gas pipe in the middle of the house (a left over design from earlier versions of the house) which has a very heavy flaming chainsaw attached to a 1 inch chain.

Part of the problems critics face is that with the fall of traditional media and the consolidation of movie studios they have essentially become shills. There aren't powerful enough critics to say "This Disney movie is terrible" and stay a critic for much longer.
"A 1% rise in inflation rate was associated with significant deteriorations (p<0.05) in 4 population health outcomes, with the largest deterioration in male adult mortality rate (0.0033 rise per 1000 deaths)."

I'm not going to make the argument that more people in the US will die b/c of inflation than the war in Ukraine: that is really insensitive.

I'm just highlighting the fallacy of "oh some people have it worse, you can't complain!"

When you include the reduced life expectancy of people in Ukraine due to war it will be a lot higher :(

Without even extrapolating to higher inflation rates, I think this works out to an additional 10k deaths due to inflation?

I would not call this a "small bump" and I am the opposite of the "sky is falling due to inflation!" crowd - just trying to be grounded. It is a fairly big bump.

CVE-12345: insecure use of consumer grade operating system in multi-user role when expecting any form of real isolation

CVE-12346: faulty system administration techniques, including running anything as SYSTEM, can cause things to run with elevated privileges

CVE-12347: failure to secure root (C:) and important system directories can allow malicious actors to access them. This can be exploited to trick other parts of the system into doing ... things.

I don't mind patching git for windows to workaround these things, but sheesh, the root cause of both of these is people using Windows incorrectly/insecurely.
To me stack language helped my brain forget about intermediate couplings, where in imperative language you have to imagine and manage data structures with operation around. When all you have is a stack, it's one variable less to worry about, you focus your energy on primitive ops.

I can personally attest to this but Hikaru has been unusually strong in classical in his return. Hence why he's headed to the candidates.

In most of the US that’d be illegal (unless the four pack was itself a separate product instead of four individual ones). And “two for $5” and “buy one at $5 get one free” are considered different - the first almost always has to work out to $2.50 each unless they get very explicit with a “save $1 when you buy two” wording. Most stores don’t bother.

Yes, relative to fiat, since crypto can at best limit the unfairness to that already present in fiat.

But so far crypto has created wealth inequality which is way worse than that in fiat. Yes, there have been attempts at fair distribution, but to re-iterate my point above, they would need to spread distribution over a long timespan (gold has been distributed over millenia).
