What I find interesting is that there seem to be better players in certain game types. For example, I have played far more enjoyable and challenging games (from an intellectual/tactical perspective) in 5/3 than 10/5. Some of the tactics people fall for in 10+ minute games don't work in 5 minute games.

I am not necessarily talking about playing fast. For example, it is very rare for me to see a Fried Liver attack in 5/3 --see it all the time in 10/5. When that happens, people playing 5/3 rarely fall for a Traxler counterattack, while, again, in 10/5 they fall for it all the time and get absolutely destroyed. The distinction is such that I have completely stopped using Traxler in 5/3 games.

My rationalization is that people playing 5 minute games must play at least 3x more games and have seen more variations, which, therefore, means they've seen enough to become better players.

I don't usually play games shorter than 5 minutes. I usually play in bed just before going to sleep, so I am mentally tired. Still, I find it relaxing enough to play a few games before ending my day. Shorter games are not a good fit for a tired mind.

The other thing I sometimes do is use chess to tell me what to focus on during the day. I might play a game or two while having a cup of coffee. If I do well, it generally tells me my head is in good shape for deep focus work. If I suck, I tend to avoid work that requires deep concentration and might instead go work in the shop, do some machining/prototyping/hardware testing, etc. Didn't bother to search around and see if anyone has done any research on this phenomenon.

I realize this is a single data point. I definitely have days when I could not win a game to save my life. Not sure why. I also have days when I will win ten out of ten games. Something is different in my head in each of those instances. I think using this information to decide how to go about the rest of your day might be useful.
Just host your own mail server and you can have as many accounts you want - I have more than a thousand since I use special addresses when communicating with anyone who is not friend or family. If you worry over reliability - which in my experience is not a problem to be worried over given the tenacity of SMTP in attempting to deliver messages to temporarily off-lined hosts - you could arrange a reciprocal agreement with someone you trust to host a backup (MX) server for your domain(s). You won't have to deal with commercial plans, virtue signalling, filtering, bankruptcies (other than your own) or any of the other bothersome irritants which can be encountered when dealing with commercial entities. People will tell you it is impossible to host your own mail, that it takes enormous investments in time, that you'll be inundated in spam, that your outgoing mail will not be accepted by the likes of Google and Microsoft and more dire warnings of mayhem and misfortune for those who do not pay someone else to do this work for them. Nearly all of this is untrue, hosting a mail server is no black magic. Just make sure to configure the thing correctly, using a smart host to take care of outgoing mail - this is most likely mandated by your IAP - and DKIM/SPF/... to please those hosts which require it. Use Spamassassin and (optionally) greylistd for spam filtering, this will take care of the spam problem. All of this can be run on a SBC like a Raspberry Pi.

Source: I've hosted my own mail for more than 25 years now, taking it with me from ISP to IAP, from country to country, even through a period where I only had dialup (the consequence of moving to the countryside - now I have gigabit fibre in the same location) by having an arrangement with a friend who ran backup MX for me. Linux + Exim + Spamassassin + greylistd + Dovecot + Sieve is all it takes, all of it is free, running a Raspberry Pi (or similar) costs a pittance. An additional advantage is that you'll be ready for the decentralised future of the 'net.
I interned at a retail company ad a software engineer when I was in college, and thought hat a sophomore in college knew everything they needed to about programming to work there. I still believe that's but there are so many other skills to be had there.

Now that I'm full time at a start up, I've learned so much in the past year, not just about programming, but more about design, testing, tradeoffs, business, and DevOps.

The amount of skills a software engineer needs is much less of just programming than I thought. So many soft skills involved, so much design, so much practice and iteration.

It's absolutely amazing to see how much there is to learn. I can't see myself at that retail company again, just because everything was slow. They had very stable services and ops, no doubt, but since there was already a group of people to handle that task, I never learned it. At a start up, I need to do everything, and I love it so far.

That said, I can see it becoming overbearing at a certain point and wanting that slow down eventually, but I'll play it by ear.

It's a great industry to be a part of, and as a young developer, it's a very exciting future.
So a single order of magnitude larger
Most people follow the conservative values, being "normal" is easiest. Its a matter of tolerance to other ideas or situation.
Some either utterly rejects things that don't conform, or just wish to hide and shame them.
Other people feel tolerance to differences is a good idea. And some people go full circle and want to shame anyone who doesn't completely identifies with the different ideas.
Wordle sparked off sort of a global game jam around variants, maybe because it was such a wholesome project. And these variants have found players; there's a lot of people who play a whole bunch of daily word games, there's some youtubers, etc.

I've programmed 3; the way that went down is I was curious if an idea I had would be fun (two Wordles on the same board, sort of a mix between Wordle and a word jumble since you don't know which word the clues go to.) Since there was an open source implementation this only took me one night, and it was in fact fun and started gaining some traction as https://xordle.xyz

Then some game designer friends suggested their own takes and I implemented those too: https://fibble.xyz lies to you once per row, and https://warmle.org tells you if you're close to the right letter rather than if a letter is in the wrong spot which gives the gameplay a very different feel
A distorted guitar distorts the components of the power chord after mixing them. This means that you get intermodulation distortion between different notes. The sum and different tones generated by this distortion form a harmonic series when combined with the original notes.

A power chord is root + fifth, which is a 1:1.5 ratio of frequencies (exactly in just intonation, and very nearly in equal temperament). Intermodulation distortion produces tones of frequency ratio 1.5 + 1 and 1.5 - 1, giving 2 and 0.5. Combine them with the existing tones and you get 0.5:1:1.5:2. This is just the harmonic series 1:2:3:4, but pitched down an octave (all frequencies divided by two). A distorted power chord contains the harmonics of a single note pitched an octave lower, which is why it sounds "heavy".

There are many other harmonics in the notes, so the timbre is much more complicated that that, but the fundamentals are most prominent, so the distorted power chord sounds consonant.

And if you have a guitar with a hexaphonic pickup and distort each string individually you don't get intermodulation distortion between the notes, so you can play much more complicated chords without it sounding dissonant.
Why should we believe that the author's perceived value signaling by some class of society (which is debatable already in a somewhat puritanical society) is the primary responsible for other adults' behavior? This seems so infantilizing. The poor do have agency too.
They should, in a kids' math textbook.

I've been using Migadu for about four years. My main complaint is that the support is not good. To be fair, they do not promise to hold your hand. And that's fine, I can usually diagnose my own mail problems.

Here is an example. I have one family member who wants to keep her email address on the family domain but have all her mail forwarded to her address @gmail. So I have migadu forward her mail to google's gmail server. One day that forwarding stopped working. So I asked migadu to check why the forwarding was failing.

They replied that they have no way to do this, and I shouldn't be forwarding to gmail. I've never heard of an email service that can't forward! They pointed me to this doc: https://www.migadu.com/guides/gmail/

I wasn’t critiquing you. Just pointing out what makes sense. I’m positive you come out with less paid in every metric than most. Since I live in the US and my cousin and brother want to be on Verizon. The price of Verizon with 4-5/lines and carriers that piggyback off the big three are not too different, for me, I do end up getting a $1K phone every 3 or so years without paying anything directly. I’m locked to the big 3 carriers at that point for 2 years.

It’s not as flexible but my end cost for the phones is usually $5 more a month in plan cost and being stuck to a big 3 carrier, I haven’t paid much for a phone since I started doing this after Att paid T-Mobile equivalent of $4B in break up fees a decade ago and that pushed for more competition. Though back then I was rocking webOS then Windows Phone before sadly going from iPhone to iPhone. I believe it was iPhone 6 to 8 to 13 Pro. So 3 year and 4 year gaps waiting for deals where I wouldn’t pay anything except a trade in and being tied to the carrier.

I also use a ton of data. Except during the first 1.5 years of the pandemic. During that time period I for sure was wasting money.
I'm not sure how you possibly reached that conclusion.

~30% of men don't want ANY custody. Yet ~67% of children live only with their mother.

Assuming that 100% of children that the father didn't want go to the mother (they don't - some go to the system or relatives) - that means in 47% of the other cases, the mother gets FULL custody.

So this means for 100% of those 47% of cases, the father did not want the mother to get FULL custody, but that's what the court decided.

> Some prisoners of war dying of malnutrition or disease is hardly an evil act from a tiny nation of farmers struggling to feed themselves while fighting to survive invasion from russia.

Lastly, you are confusing who was invading whom in 1941-44 as well as who was starving whom, intentionally or not. There is also a major logical fallacy in your reasoning of «when ABC invades my homeland, the ABC are bad; but when my people being "a tiny nation of farmers struggling to feed themselves" invade ABC in a retaliation, rightfully or not, and intern and starve women, elderly and children of ABC, that is acceptable because it is a small price to pay for what heinous things the people of ABC had previously done to my people». There has been no right party in any invasion over the course of the entire human history.
The only reason why I haven't deleted FB is because of the memories shared on there. I haven't posted on my timeline in years. A long time ago, I got spooked when I saw ads that tracked my Google search activity, that's what drove me away from social media in general; an utter lack of respect for the privacy of users. And then I got obsessed with finding out ways to avoid fingerprinting (it's nearly impossible).
On the odd occasion I might log-in to see what people are up to, but for the most part I keep in touch with friends and family through text and sometimes Discord.

I deleted my linkedin because I kept getting nothing but spam emails, with no actual prospects of a job. Tbh I think that entire platform is a cesspool.

There are 28 letters. With 3 initial same words you can cover up to 53.5% of the alphabet. With 4 initial same words you can cover up to 71.4%. There are only 5 vowels A, E, I, O and U which can be covered with the first two words. You can even add Y in the first two words played.
What an amazing win for Europe, and the GDPR.

This isn't about just the button. Until a few years, "you're not the customer; you're the product" was the norm for a typical user's interaction with the internet, and they were powerless to change that.

Then the GDPR came along, declaring that users have fundamental right to their data, and as such, they no longer can be forced to be "the product" without their consent. One of its most empowering rules, however, is in Article 7 (4):

"When assessing whether consent is freely given, utmost account shall be taken of whether, inter alia, the performance of a contract, including the provision of a service, is conditional on consent to the processing of personal data that is not necessary for the performance of that contract."

So consent must be (1) freely given, and (2) it's not free if you're blocking access to service A by requiring consent for service B, when B is unnecessary for performing A.

Hence, a search engine cannot force you to consent to tracking for advertising purposes, because technically, the search engine doesn't need it.

So how can the search engine make money? One popular way that has already been ruled as legal is to offer two plans: a paid plan with no ads and tracking, or a free plan with ads and tracking (in essence, it's a paid plan and you're paying for it with tracking).
This sounds like a single product - a canvas that can render an image. You are hard-coding one potential use case for that image: a calendar. I'd abstract that out to a complementary product line of canned apps that render to the correct image size and format. The calendar is just your first app.

I haven't got time for a deep-dive into statistics or methods of representation right now, which clearly need improving. The fact of the matter is that more people in the UK voted to leave the EU than even bothered to vote in the election of EU representatives in the election before. The EU failed to make a case for the importance of its democratic process, and rested content in its level of power existing despite this failure to reach people with its electoral process, and 51% of the electorate of the UK saw fit to remove themselves from the EU when given the opportunity to. My main suprise was caused by the UK doing this probably some 15-20 years before it really became a pressing question, but it was a case of "now or never" and swathes of people in the UK decided they didn't want to be involved (all seemingly for an individual set of personal reasons that are hard to form any consensus toward).
As if sending messages to an abandoned account they'll never check is any better? If they close their account instead of abandoning it, you won't waste your time waiting for a response to a message they'll never see. Instead you can ask mutual friends and acquaintances to help you establish contact. This almost always works and only requires a little effort.

Zuck needs you more than you need Zuck.
It's a word salad all around. Folks on the US left exhibit similar symptoms when talking about the right. I responded initially because I think distinctualizing US progressives and global progressives is important. I don't want to see US progressives, their policy, or their values gain more traction; I am on board for a party that reflects global progressivism, it's policies, and it's values.

It does seem like there's a split on this thread about

- whether the US progressives relate to global progressives in any way except by name

- how the right views the political spectrum by name of everything to the left of it
It makes sense upper middle class wouldn't advocate for traditional values. They instead put up barriers to join the upper middle class. The book "Dream Hoarders" captures this well (restrictive zoning, parents helping finding internships, etc) [0]. If the playbook was available to everyone, then it would make maintaining your own position in the hierarchy all the more difficult. One thing the upper middle class fears the most is losing their position in society: the class provides solid income, but it isn't enough wealth to prevent being wiped out by a health incident or a bad investment.

I'm paraphrasing, but Charlie Munger [1] recently said that our economic system depends on agony to get ahead.

> what makes capitalism work is the fact that if you’re an able-bodied young person and you refuse to work, you suffer a fair amount of agony. It’s because of that agony that the whole economic system work.

I think this downplays the importance of innate intelligence and it is not something you compensate for by simply learning "the right way". It would be nice if it was like that though.
Maybe not the question but their answer is a good one. Spend all the time worrying about one attack vector when there’s dozens of other places along the supply chain where just as nasty or worse things can happen.
Shanghai fences up Covid-hit areas
To be accurate a BIV would have to be able to reproduce any physical effect that could operate on the simulated brain. Regardless of what the BIV is implemented in (could be computronium or spiritual stuff) the QCD field theory still applies to effects the BIV would have to (for lack of a better word) simulate. We routinely use gamma knives and fMRI on brains as well as more traditional surgery tools, and astronauts "see" cosmic ray interactions. It matters where exactly those cosmic ray or gamma interactions happen with brain molecules, and so regardless of BIV substrate I'd argue strongly that the BIV must simulate a physical human brain to be accurate.

Maybe I'm not supposed to take the premise that human brains can exist as QCD-physical objects? In that case it seems more like the dualistic belief that a spirit or supernatural entity puppets the physical body around and interprets its interactions with the physical world. (Which runs into the same problem of dramatic effects physical changes to brains have)

So in the example of turning off the simulation and leaving the BIV running you either turn off the effects of receiving oxygen through the bloodstream in the same way choking or drowning produces, or you break the simulation of reality to artificially keep the BIV running despite conditions that would have stopped it if the simulated brain was removed from the simulated body accurately. How does disconnecting a BIV work, precisely, when e.g. homeostasis is enough to produce varying effects on conscious experience? Neurons get tired after firing and require nutrients to recharge. Those nutrients exist in the physical/simulated world and if they behaved even slightly differently the neural firing patterns would differ and the BIV and physical human brain would diverge. When the simulated nutrients go away does the BIV just pretend a baseline digestive, endocrine, cardiovascular, and lymphatic system still exist and fake everything? If so, then the BIV doesn't exist without regard to the turned-off simulation, it gets copy-pasted into a simplified simulation of whatever minimal physical apparatus would keep a physical human brain alive in a jar.

Minimum wage * 50 hours per week is less than the benefits you would lose from it. There is literally a >100% marginal income tax at the bottom income brackets if you factor in loss of benefits. This also was in New York where benefits and taxes are high.
Yes, integer ratios sound better than equal temperament ratios. The downside is that you end up with an instrument that has some integer ratios and some disgusting wolf intervals because it's mathematically impossible to have all integer ratios between every possible interval in every possible key you might decide to play in. That problem is what equal temperament solves for, and is a good reason to use an electronic tuner unless you know your songs will sound better without.
