Your Occam razor is a tragic self fulfilling phophethy. By people assuming scientists are not scientifically illiterate they silence those ignored potent results and dismiss them.
The fact is scientists are illiterate.
Russian are the world leaders in gerontology. A reason being they have a well funded longevity institute since the 90s.
Contrary to the rest of the world they are not retarded and therefore do human trials since billions of human lifes are at stake.
And most importantly they are public research. That is essential since the most promising class of drugs is generally non-patentable and therefore non-proditable (Peptides)
Khavinson is the greatest medecine researcher alive
https://www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/Vladim...
On pubmed you are seeing Russian related papers because they cite each other. But actually many of those results have been independently reproduced by non-russian researchers, e.g thymalin is the covid cure since day 1. I knew this and all those lives and economic loss could have been saved but the world was not ready to listen the trivial truth.
The trivial retarded truth is that aged people have their thymus that involute, it self atrophy. By injecting them the thymic hormone thymalin, their thymus grow back and rejuvenate. This result in a 610% increase in lymphocite T production, basically fixing age related immunosupression which is the cause of covid mortality.
The world is too retarded and will remain retarded and suffering will persist.
However Russians are not the only ones that make revolutionary discoveries ignored by all, see e.g
https://touroscholar.touro.edu/sjlcas/vol13/iss2/7/

By becoming a meta-researcher like me, you observe how beautiful and futuristic the world could be. And you also observe that the revolution people are waiting for has been discovered in the 90s and that it will never be used.
Indeed, I was referring to C++ or Rust game engine developers. For example Teardown, by Dennis Gustafsson: https://mobile.twitter.com/tuxedolabs?lang=en
a nice game and well optimized c++ custom game engine.

Many game developers use Unreal Engine or Unity, thise game engines have been optimized pretty well.
You can update Linux without rebooting, except for the kernel (and even then there's options). Rebooting once a month is way more often than some of my Linux systems.
Many public places have TVs playing for the benefit of patrons/employees.
Not the GP, but I've tried to read through mine before but I've also focused my vision on the edges where the scotoma hasn't reached. I'll try to go "through" it next time...
So, the idea is basically that of the impureim sandwich: push everything that can fail out to the periphery. If it's difficult to handle errors at the call site, it's a sign that the call site is in the wrong place.
Maybe you should write a blog post. I misread your name to be “nerd herd” as in a verb, herding nerds.

Can you elaborate on applying 80/20 rule in projects. Do you focus on 20% of the most important deliverables? 20% of timeline (focus on bottlenecks)?
This. It's astonishing that someone would put batteries into these things.
If you have seen JAG or NCIS (tv shows), you probably know some of these and with NCIS being a top (broadcast) show for a few years, it is quite likely a lot of (dare I say older) people have heard of these
As the GP said, what's cool about this is how simple the code is. You might be able to achieve 5M connections in Java using an event loop based solution (eg Netty), but if the connection handlers need to do any async work, then they also need to be written using an event loop, which is not how most people write Java. Simply put, 5M connections was not possible using Java in the way most people write Java.
You can buy new ones on eBay for about that. I have been buying them for years and have a stash. Battery and waterproofing practically the same as when they released.

The garmin instinct 2 solar has the same screen tech as the pebble and NEVER needs to be charged. It really is game changing and I am finally ready to upgrade. In fact by you want to buy my in box pebble 2 se I have 3 for 100 usd each!
It is required that I log-in to the article using my google or facebook account to read it.

Garbage. Your article isn't worth reading if I need to jump through hoops to get there.
I'm not an expert, but I would think creating or changing existing routes for trolleybuses would require setting up overhead wires, which probably need a few things to be in place beforehand. Isn't that just slower/costlier than simply driving on a different street? What about intercity routes? Doesn't sound superior to me on that front.

edit: grammar
Good. Russia should return to building their own space station and developing their own space industries.
Does that account for the fact that it's decoupled from visible light? Afaik the iris contracts in response to visible light, so here could get exposed to more IR proportionally. (OTOH either way in absolute terms the amount you get from sunlight is orders of magnitude more than you'd get from a few LEDs.)
Huh! That makes sense, thanks! It's standard univ. quantifier behaviour, I hadn't made the link.

Also that's bloody odd because date or darwen (or both) explicitly called out this behaviour as flawed in SQL when in fact it's obviously logically consistent, and they know logic and SQL, so... why are they critising it? How very strange.

Again, thanks for pointing this out. How did I never realise this?
The garmin instinct 2 solar has the same screen tech as the pebble or an old nokia and NEVER needs to be charged.
And because all that is true and soon there will be no other functions, neither ways to implement them nor run them, they also did this gross hijack of the lambda term..

(Yah I'm mad that the title wasn't at least "AWS Lambda functions" - isn't "serverless" a funny enough name on its own for that domain?)
Poor people already mostly can’t afford cars. Only about 25% of people in the bottom 10% of income have a car.

If we want to help poor people we should just give them money rather than indirect subsidies that mainly favor wealthier people with cars.
Money doesn't undo the ravages of time. If people prefer to end their lives rather than cling to false hope and go through years of excruciating, artificially-extended decline, no one else has the right to judge or interfere. It's disgusting that people are so obsessed with control of others that they'd ever try to stop someone of sound mind from choosing to end their life with dignity.
> How would the multiple copies find the global memory segment?

They would all use the same reserved "name". It's possible to atomically create or open a SHM segment with a given "name". Then have a header at the start of the segment with critical metadata like signature, version, etc. Barf unconditionally if the metadata is found to be invalid (i.e., some other process deliberately used the name to sabotage sqlite [1]), or, in addition, have an option to not use SHM.

[1] The situation is not different from some process sabotaging another by deleting or corrupting well-known files.
China is pretty much banned from working with NASA.

And they have been building their own space station for a while now so it is unlikely they'll join even if invited.
Kotlin is quite explicit about nulls.

Kotlin code requires you to use Type? if the value can ever be null.

Java code that is annotated by @Nullable/@NonNull will automatically map to Type?/Type (and it is up of course to the developer to not fuck up their nullability promises.)

Java code that is not annotated is a Type!, and encourages you to be wary about what could happen.

The nullability story is miles better than Java.
It’s a joke.

King Salomon never cut something in half to appease both sides. That’s a very common misunderstanding. He threatened to do that in order to see which woman cried the most, who he understood as being the real mother. It was never the idea to cut a person in half.
I agree. This article reminds me of the vacuous advice given to new investors: "buy low and sell high" :-)
If I'm passionate enough about the subject I will read all the comments, since it's nice to hear refreshing takes on subjects I naively assume I'm an expert on. If it's some political rant I just ignore it entirely. It's very easy to spot the people who love their politics on here.

I didn't equate them with condoms. I simply said they are a choice. If we want to focus on edge cases, we can justify anything.

"can be used with zero advance planning or side effects."

You have to at least plan to have one, which can be more difficult if you or the partner have a latex allergy.
Don't trolleybuses require overhead wires? Doesn't that mean you would need to retrofit all routes with poles, cables, etc? How do they cope with diversions?
How would you solve color clash with a few tens of dollars? Iirc it’s a memory bandwidth limit, you don’t have enough time to load more than a few bits per pixel, so FG/BG+ 8x(on/off) is usually all you can get. And you load the sprite data during HBLANK.
pre market product fit this is a disastrous approach
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!
I guess it would be like looking up at one of those security cameras that are ringed with IR LEDs
Why don't we let kids drive cars?

Some tools are dangerous if you don't have a certain level of maturity and experience.
Maybe I wrote it wrong. Closed expander cycles are heat limited.

Areospike require more cooling then traditional bell designs.

So an areospike epxnader cycle could produce more thurst.

It's technically very impressive and I'm looking forward to it.

But my point around ergonomics still stands. There will still always be all the legacy stuff, and there's not necessarily any way around having to understand how that works, too, because there's generally going to be some pre-existing library or legacy code or whatever that forces you to.
we might have different experiences, but in my view when you take the downsides into account: a build system requirement and very large amount of dependencies, then Tailwind isn't worth it

you should avoid large dependency trees and if possible avoid the JS-ecosystem altogether, because these dependencies introduce security vulnerabilities routinely

we already have web components which support scoped styles, so you can just build a component once and reuse it everywhere else in your code

i'd love to hear more counter-arguments though

> Jerry Seinfeld was worth nearly one billion dollars last time I checked

I always wondered who made out better from the show - larry david or seinfeld?

> nearly all from royalties paid out for reruns of the show. How the hell did broadcast networks like NBC afford a payout like that?

The royalties aren't just from NBC. It's from everywhere they syndicate the show - netflix, amazon, other tv channels, other countries, etc.
Qb – Zero-configuration build system to quickly build C/C++ projects
I think her perspective is quite a bit more productive than just capitalizing on distaste. For example, in this discussion she's making concrete criticisms of specific communications patterns.

I don't think it's too strong to call it "disinformation" out of the journals. They claimed that the next big toy will prove or disprove supersymmetry. They never acknowledged that their claim had been incorrect, or that it was misleading.

Calling out that repeated pattern is, I think, on the respectful side of the public gadfly playbook.

I think she wants to "improve the field" by incenting theoretical advances that actually lead to testable predictions. Unfortunately, that transition will put a lot of e.g. string theorists out of work.
A few more:

TAPL remains a go-to text for inducting people into PL. I have absolutely no qualms recommending it, because we still use the techniques it teaches.

It will not teach you to implement a full-blown language with a performant runtime or anything like that. It is absolutely a book about theory. But I don't think any part of it is specifically outdated, except maybe that it does not reference any more modern languages (which is not much of an issue, in my opinion).

Yes there is a simple way to do this that has universal applicability: users get charged equally, per use, the total revenues are uniformly refunded to everyone (not just users) and the refund is taxable income. At least, this is how it fits best with an American tax system.

Think about how this would work for a gas/carbon tax, for example.
An air conditioner already is a cooler and a dehumidifier. In a closed system, using a dehumidifier and then an evaporative cooler makes no difference. Assuming the electrical input to these is dissipated as heat, it ends up heating the room further.
In the UK at least, there's much less stratification than there once was I think.

For example Advanced Nurse Practitioner status grants nurses almost all prescribing rights you'd get as a doctor. They're allowed scheduled drugs (ie stuff that's commonly abused) because a bunch of those are effective painkillers and a key reason to have Advanced Practitioner is that "This patient is in agony, and I know the only thing a doctor would do is give them these stronger drugs, but I'm not allowed to do that on my own" is a stupid situation to put an experienced nurse in, so let's just authorise them to do it.

I believe there are Advanced Practitioner variants for several other healthcare roles including midwife and pharmacist; in some cases you just get limited prescription rights (so you can only give people some specific prescription drugs from a list) but in other cases like Advanced Nurse Practitioner it's the whole thing, if your knowledge and experience tells you that off-label use of a heart medicine is the right way to solve your patient's acute hiccups you can do that just like a doctor could.

To qualify for advanced practice these professionals are doing much of the same work student Doctors do - but just focused to their specific discipline. Lots of Chemistry, learning how to read research literature, and so on. They get a post-graduate degree of some sort, I don't remember the exact title.
sir, if i'm watching ads, than this is accidental

either way why are you so concerned?
> This is also how generators and async functions actually work and where this problem often arises, so it's not a stretch to think about it like that.

There is a crate that uses async functions to accomplish exactly this. https://crates.io/crates/escher

There is a small but growing community of people who eat only raw fruits and raw vegetables. I tried it and it was awesome (though it was expensive and I had trouble getting quality produce).

I find this community very knowledgeable, smart and down to earth. It was impressive to see a 40+ year old body builder (he is no Arnold, but has impressive physique for an amateur) doing so well on this diet.

If someone is interested, spend some time googling this topic. It is well worth your time.
Love how much expertise there is here; thanks for adding yours!

When you say "metal bladder/diaphragm" is that a sliding wall with propellant on one side and pressurant on the other? (I can't imagine how the seals in that would work.) Or do you mean the metal actually deforms in place?
These aren't consumer products. They're specialized business products aimed at market researchers. In that context, €5,900 doesn't seem expensive at all to me, and I'd expect the Tobii glasses to be more.
Eh. What about updated libc.so or libssl.so? If daemons using them do not get restarted, they keep using the old version. If they do get restarted, well, then, it's just as if you rebooted the machine. Somewhat quicker, but in effect it's a reboot.
Did someone take down his server because of this blogpost?
Fascinating. Definitely very different environments. Stars are not places where we could live, but here on Earth there would be no life without the light our sun gives.
Words follow that I hope might help you or someone else; but might not. I know sometimes the last thing one wants is "yet more advice." These are just things that work for me.

I'm vegetarian and I eat a pretty healthy diet.

Consider adding grass-fed/pasture-raised beef (or even just an occasional not-bottom-tier hamburger) to your diet on occasion. In my twenties I found that eating some high quality protein (better with friends, but even alone) added a small but growing crack in the walls that barricaded my soul.

Also consider drastically different life philosophies/cultures in case the one you're in isn't for you (e.g. the ideas that meditation is a cure-all or that vegetarianism is virtuous are pretty culture-specific). For me that meant leaving conservative religion, but for others it might mean leaving progressive "religion."

Something else that helped me was going into social situations with a slight "idgaf so I'll just be my positive self no matter who might try to shut me down" attitude.

And finally, find any weak link in the vicious feedback cycle and chip away at it. Don't feel bad, but if you do, don't feel bad about feeling bad, but if you do, don't feel ...etc. Put the brakes on the meta-guilt and just be okay with feeling whatever for now, and you can feel something else later.
Well, they are all chemical engines. We have no chemical engines that would work well for launching.

In space we do use a lot of solar electric propulsion and lots other things that Goddard knew nothing about.

Nuclear thermal propulsion could potentially be used but that has a whole host of issues where its not clear that its actually worth it compared to chemical.

SpaceX Raptor is approaching pretty much the peak of what is doable with chemical and if its fully and rapidly reusable it can bring the price to orbit down.

What really matters is not what method you use, but how much does it cost to go to orbit, or from LEO to Mars. From that perspective something like Starship is on a totally different level then anything that came before.

I spent my childhood and teenage years in Cordoba.

This is Tuesday there.

The only reason they don’t unearth Phoenician ruins there is because of the Arabic ruins they find first. And the Roman ones they would find if they kept digging.

common lisp suffers for a lack of new blood coming in and making well maintained websites with docs and getting started guides.

case in point, go to cliki for osx and they advise downloading emacs, setting up slime and downloading sbcl. but there's a lot of information missing. Also no mention of arguably the easiest (in practice) way of setting up common lisp ie: spacemacs.

just runnign and maintaining common lisp codebases is a hodgepodge of arcane knowledge collected accross disseperate smaller websites that look like they were designed in th e90's. no wonder all the noobs think javascript is the end all be all of languages.

My daily driver is elixir. I have mix and with one command I can start a whole project with a complete build system. I was able to setup a full elixir environment and get a hello world in about 5 minutes just reading the main elixir website. If I needed a package, I could just go to hex.pm, search for a library and add a line to my mix file to automatically pull the dependency and build it. ie: I gae bills to pay and the ecosystem is setup so I can get work done.

common lisp suffers from extreme fragmentation that presents significant friction for doing any kind of work. Its only saving grace is that the language itself is so powerful, it makes the impossible possible. where other languages fail in a fractcal of complexity, common lisp can be used to produce a working solution.
Happened something similar to me too.

It started when I stopped seeing religion as an "edgy atheist" that would make fun of everything. Then I listened to Jordan Peterson's "Biblical Series" podcast which made me see the contents of the Bible from another perspective.

That made me read and listen more to religion related stuff. I'm also very analytical and critical with everything and if something doesn't make sense I won't simply accept it because I should believe it.

I wouldn't consider myself religious but I wouldn't dare say God doesn't exist because I'm pretty sure He does.

I see it as a journey, now. And it doesn't have to do anything with getting older and being afraid of death. I made my peace with the ending of my own existence/conscience when I was an atheist. That doesn't scare me at all.
I think your diagnosis is wrong. When the program exits, in whatever way, all resources/locks/etc are cleaned up. (Hey, the OS is also nice enough to tell waiters about abandonend mutexes.) There's no built-in GUI, but there's Process Explorer and other sysinternals utilities that you can use to find out what is keeping the file open.
Harmful gender roles help suppress and atomize the people. It allows the owners of capital to further extract profit from them.
