I went to school at Naropa University, where a lot of meditation was part of the required curriculum (at least, when I was there; I have no idea what it's like now). I never experience the awake/asleep thing in connection with meditation, either at Naropa or in meditation practice outside the school, but I doubt that I could be in any way considered an advanced meditator.
Thanks, that was a fun read.

I think it is a "bike shed" fallacy - where you dive deep into figuring out what kind of a fallacy it actually is and get totally distracted from the original conversation.

> I find myself cleaning up a lot of the messes these people make. I always was the first one attending to issues product owner found in their work and raise the concern in them because I don't want to see the team I am in fail because of anyone's inattention. I am not sure if I care too much but I know I certainly can't let my team fail even if I am not in the lead position.

Why would they do their job, when it's easier to not do anything and let you do it for them?
I've been meaning to properly learn complex analysis. There's a whole wealth of what seem to be magic spells that are possible merely because of root(-1) or something.

There's also Clifford algebra, which turns geometry into algebraic statements.
Except your service is almost certainly listening on one non-ephemeral port.

But having "only" tens of thousands of connections per client is rarely a problem in practice, apart from some load testing scenarios (such as the experiment here, where they opened a number of ports so they could test a large number of connections with a single client machine).
No, it's different. I'm an experienced lucid dreamer. I'm also an experienced practitioner of shamanic drumming and the associated waking dream states. It's not the same as that, either.

I get that this story may be apocryphal, but if so it is surely widely disseminated by now. I even wondered about factuality as I wrote my comment, yet I knew of no evidence to the contrary.

You didn't provide any substantial counterpoint. So what was the point you were making?
I couldn't finish it either but the beginning was good!
Which corporations are you thinking of?
I'll mention this not to disagree with your overall point, but because I've seen it be a source of confusion for some people. In the US federal income tax system, the marginal tax rate varies depending on the tax bracket each dollar of your income falls in.

That is, someone making $200k would pay 10% on their first $9,950 of income, 12% on their next $30,575 of income, and so on. They'd only pay a rate above 30% for the last $35,075 of their income.

If Rome had lost the Punic Wars, it likely would not have colonized the Levant. Not only would Christianity have spread differently, but the story of Christ would also have been very different.

For instance, there would have been no census to bring Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem, there would have been no Pontius Pilate. Crucifixion itself was a favored means of execution in the Roman Empire, and may not have been employed by whatever political entity that would have been dominant in Judea in its stead.

I live on a beach in Thailand on a small tropical island and it is absolutely frown upon if someone fly with drones. It is not just the beach where I live but on all beaches island-wide where there is a high chance for that you will be asked to put your drone away. Nobody wants a camera to record their beach trip.

Maybe snaps drone is more acceptable as it seem to primarily trying to be a flying selfie stick that records you and not the entire beach area, but it still emit a buzzing that will annoy everybody.

Imagine if this product category takes off and having 10 or 20 of these on a beach becomes norm. Well, there goes your nice holiday. Enjoy your trip.

If I were in a position of decision making in India, I would invest in large deployments of passive radiative cooling films: https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/energy-conservation-us/applicati...

These reflect nearly all the sunlight energy and cool their surroundings night and day by controlled black body emmisive radiation. (interestingly, for cooling applications, per unit area they are more power efficient than solar panels + AC, because solar only is working during the day, whereas passive cooling films also work at night)
what benefit is this "root certificate" over letsencrypt ? why force users to install certificates? can we define what websites are compatible with a said certificate so a *.gov for example?
Finally memorizing the Beethoven "Les Adieux" Sonata. It's an interesting work, fairly late opus. The three movements are labeled - by the composer - "Goodbye", "Absence", "Return". It seems like a metaphor for the pandemic, so it bubbled to the top of my queue. It's also fascinating because it seems to sit at the crossroads of Classical style and the Romantic movement. It was rare for classical era composers to tell the player/listener what emotion a piece was to evoke.

Depends on whether you interpret something being on the news as a measure of how common it is.

This is often demonstrated with the two hypothetical headlines "Dog bites Man" vs "Man bites Dog".

One is expected based on its ubiquity, and so a poor headline, where you want some emotional reaction to hook readers.

in Prague they recently bought 14 new electric Skoda buses (Czech/Turkish production), introduced them with big media attention into operation just this year and after few weeks they are ALL out of operation, because apparently someone designing them thought he can just use regular bus frame and put 3 tons of batteries on the roof without strengthening the frame, but while you find dozens articles about amazing new electric buses being introduced you will have trouble to find articles about them being taken out of operation few weeks later, it's not so catchy for media/politicians as amazing new electric buses

Why is the earth's crust so stable? It has supported life for billions of years, yet it is just 12 mi thick [1] and floats on top of liquid rock that extends for thousands of miles -- the part of earth we are most familiar with is a tiny fraction of what our planet really is. You could imagine that turbulence in the liquid below would cause currents that blast through the crust with catastrophic consequences, and that this would happen regularly. But it doesn't -- we have a small number of (super) volcanos, but they are pretty rare. I find this unnerving and remarkable. Our perception of reality -- in this case the earth beneath us -- is skewed.

Is this a test of just having 5M people knock on your door?

Or is this a test where something actually happens (data exchanges) with each connection?

I ask because those are two totally different workloads and typically where in the later test Erlang shines.
To simplify even more, both the Earth and your head would eventually collapse due to gravity if it weren't for electromagnetic forces pushing the atoms apart. I would be in free fall towards the Earth's center right now if it weren't for the atoms in my couch pushing the atoms in my butt upwards.
Oh yeah, agreed, distribution becomes little more involved. In these cases Rustler Precompiled is a complete bliss indeed. ^_^
Are current security monitoring systems - and I suppose a company like MS would be using state-of-the-art - not yet capable of detecting such anomalous behavior? A user gained root access, tried to access another internal IP address, tested multiple ports. I assume all these get logged at the kernel / hypervisor / firewall level...
I wrote commercial Prolog applications circa 1990 and it is the nicest programming language that I know (I used over 30 in my 50 year career); I recommend the book The Art of Prolog, by Ehud Shapiro. Also the idea that with Prolog, you can easily write programs that write programs (I wrote a few of those) and that it may be feasible to scale up a program to fill in the code to match input and output descriptions, and build possibly unlimited complex logic on top of simpler components, as I think Shapiro was working on this approach in the 1990's for the Israeli gov., before the project went under the covers, it seems.

If you play an F# then a C, does there not seem to be a "relationship" between the notes, that is different from if you play G then C? I think for most people it intuitively makes sense when they hear the notes. To me it sounds like F#->C is "awkward" whereas G->C is more "satisfying". Not sure if the explanation is in culture, neurology or physics or what, but to me an "emotional" relationship between the notes seem apparent on listening.
I know what you mean, but I don't know how the heck you could arrange for just the right combination of large doses of modafinil and profound exhaustion at just the right times.

To give you some idea of how profound my fatigue was, let's start with the fact that I've been extremely sensitive to stimulants of any kind since I can remember. A can of coke past 8PM would keep me awake half the night. It's a trait that I apparently inherited from my mother and passed on to my daughter.

After I developed CFS, I could take a full dose of an amphetamine and sleep like a baby. I know because amphetamines were one of the alternatives my physician tried for controlling my sleepiness and attention problems.

Modafinil and armodafinil are the drugs that worked for me. By the way, please don't anyone assume that they'll do the same thing for you that they did for me. Everybody's different. Talk to your doctor, not some random internet storyteller.

I feel the odd specificity of "his yevama" adds credence to AaronFriel's claim that this has its roots in a real case.

On the other hand, the story is so unbelievable that I am unable to imagine a circumstance in which this specific fabrication, and not some other, had any chance of being believed.

One possible resolution, perhaps, is that this has its roots in a real rape case where the "accident" was more plausible, but involved the accused already intentionally doing something he should not, so it was changed to falling off a roof in order to remove this side-issue.
It's a fair cop, I suppose, but doesn't reality as such seem too ordered?
Ah yes, the lady at Uber who was being paid 250k who used Edit>Copy/Paste to paste lines of Python from Notepad into a REPL and got confused with extraneous whitespace errors in order to prove to me that some python doesn't work (even though it did) with a position of "Staff Engineer 1" certainly deserved it more than almost literally everyone else I've worked with.

For ClojureScript a lot of the data-strucutres and other parts of the language were rewritten in Clojure.

So bootstrapping is now easier.

That said, you likely would want native data-structure instead of interpreted code that implements them.
> One of the installers offered a nice "auto" disk setup system, and then promptly sliced up the disk space a bunch of different ways. Everything was fine until maybe 30 minutes later when it was time to install GNU Radio. It was just trucking along until... it ran out of disk space. What happened? The path for ports was given its own filesystem for some reason, and it was 4 GB.

This is what ended my experience with freebsd ~20 years ago. I had a system that had freebsd (4.1?). I had used the automatic partitioning during the initial install. Later, when trying to upgrade it, / or /boot filled up, breaking the system.
Everybody's got their own preferred method, but the way I've gone around things is by starting to actively listen to the language with the related transcript to get a good ear for the phonemes (you can do that with songs or videos). Then I move on to reading the language with a translation or a dictionary on the side.

That's what maximizes the efficiency of language acquisition for me. I leave the rest (getting a better understanding of the grammar, speaking it with a decent flow) for later.
I read Tyler’s book and don’t recall him saying that quite so directly. It is surely true though.

I met him at an unsanctioned/non-UCI race he showed up at during his ban but before he came clean. Weird experience, he obviously won the race and most people were supportive but it was such a weird scene. You could practically feel the tormented aura of guilt/shame/embarrassment coming off him. IIRC he had won that race as an amateur prior to doping as well.
Interesting data point. I just have the one experience to report, so far, but I fully intend to test it out again the next time I have an episode.
Bikes are great for solving transit’s last-mile problem provided it’s at all close to the last mile and not, say, the last 15. E-bikes especially so.

Beyond that, yes, transit schedules need to be frequent and reliable, with frequency especially being important if you have to make lots of transfers. It’s no big deal if you miss your train if another one will be there in a few minutes; if you have to wait 15-30 though, a slight delay can be a problem. For buses, giving them their own right-of-way is important.

Long-term though, as another commenter mentioned, we need to enable more people to live closer to work. I’m not sure what much of Germany is like (have only visited Berlin and Munich) but in the US we have a ton of sprawling suburbs because it’s not legal to build anything denser than single-family homes in most places here. Especially those places that already have good transit connections need to densify, and then the places nearest them need to do the same and build good transit connections.
> "An AKE like the Shepard should have 129 crewmembers in perfect conditions but they are now running at roughly 80% because of manning problems,” said another MSC officer. “About 20 in the deck department can be assigned to rust prevent duty. However, that crew is also assigned to Underway Replenishment duties. Three Unreps could easily eat away an entire day. When we return to port can we OSPHO? No. Can I send a crewmember over the side to chip? No. Navy rules prevent it."

Sounds like a classic case of trying to do the same job with less people, and management only taking notice when the issue becomes public-facing.
I would not care, especially if it is over the Internet.

Not everyone has adjusted their priors on what it means for global dialogue, especially in the framework where there will always be someone in the world that will take offense to almost everything one says.

I more just feel sorry for these people, as most of them are dealing with other pain and stress in life, and they lash out irrationally like this.
The way I see it as working, is that the i'th bit in x is initially added to the i'th bit in diff, and subsequently subtracted from the (i-1)th, the (i-2)th, ... the 0th bit of diff.

So this bit of x, if set, contributes (1<<i) - (1<<(i-1) + 1<<(i-2) + ... + 1<<0) = 1 to diff altogether.
You mean the US, because in a lot of european countries, we very much like using our public transports and bikes
Staying indoor in 24C air-conditioned spaces conditions the body so badly that even 28C starts to feel bad. I noticed this in my own behaviour and thought of changing it last month. For a change, I decided to drive without air conditioning. It felt bad for a few minutes, then it gets better and when I come back to a cooler place it feels like heaven.

“I would like to return to the United States,” Snowden told CBS. “That is the ultimate goal. But if I’m gonna spend the rest of my life in prison, the one bottom line demand that we have to agree to is that at least I get a fair trial. And that is the one thing the government has refused to guarantee because they won’t provide access to what’s called a public interest defense.” [0]

They absolutely seem to care about it yet all they have to do is guarantee to uphold the law of the land and give a fair trial. Its really not a very big ask, if the position today is the result of lots of effort they are not sending their best people to put in the work.

Here's an example for a problem that's moderately difficult to do recursively, hard to do iteratively, and trivial in Prolog:

Given that you have the following coins, 1¢ (i.e. 1 cent or $0.01), 5¢, 10¢, 25¢, 50¢, how many different ways are there to give change for a dollar? For example, one way would be to give 2x50c, another would be to give 100x1c. How many are there total?

In most languages this is not super easy to do unless you're very comfy with recursion.

In Prolog the solution is basically (pseudocode):

100 = a*50 + b*25 + c*10 + d*5 + e*1

and Prolog will just figure out all possible combinations for you.

The challenge with Prolog as far as I understand is making things fast.

I started practicing Game Development (again).
I haven't done it since I finished my college degree, because I was never able to find a job in the area.

I started making one-game-a-month as a learning exercise to tinker with all the different aspects of developing a game: coding, modelling, making art, composing music and sound effects, and even writing a devlog.

I've been blogging the entire thing.

And in recent years I've been able to enjoy them without so much of the horrible parts afterward.
