Yes. It's because of all the dilution peroxide already causes. The effect is illustrated by that weird British launcher, the Black Arrow, that used peroxide as the oxidizer. The picture of it taking off looks like something Photoshopped, with the vehicle just sort of levitating above the launch pad.

IMO using a Kindle for anything else than linear fiction is an exercise in futility.

For stuff you read from start to beginning the Kindle (and other eInk readers) are amazing.

For books you need to jump around in it's just painful. Use an iPad or something else with a smoother UI and display.

Most ulcers can be attributed to Helicobacter Pylori but that's far from the only cause. Also, there are different types of ulcers.

For peptic ulcers (https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/digestive-disea...)

long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin NIH external link and ibuprofen NIH external link

"an infection with the bacteria Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)

rare cancerous and noncancerous tumors in the stomach, duodenum, or pancreas(known as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome)

Sometimes peptic ulcers are caused by both NSAIDs and H. pylori."
This is very true. It should really be more understood, that open source developer are basically sharing their hobby and what they create with others on their terms, not their users....

Imagine someone building furniture in their free time because they enjoy doing so, and then offers to give it away for free. You see this offer and now have two polite options:

1) decline, because you do not like it

2) accept because you do like it

I have never understood the people who take the third option:

3) complain that the furniture is not to their liking, and then demand that the person builds it to his/hers specification and then give it to them. Free of charge, because that was the original offer right?
> "it's easy to predict storage costs"

You're just repeating this. Predictable is the opposite of surprise.

Even if storage use was very stable, so what? The overall bill is the problem so where the charges come from doesn't matter, only that eventually a limit is crossed. An overage is still an overage and the only way for billing to stop immediately is to delete and drop everything. This is the fundamental issue that you're not considering. It's what happens at the limit, not about how you get there.

> " billing alarms are not a soft cap"

Soft caps that don't actually stop anything are effectively nothing more than billing alarms. What else is their purpose?

> "I don't need to come up with a way for AWS to implement billing caps"

I didn't ask for implementation, I'm inquiring as to what logically is supposed to happen in the scenarios that occur based on your proposed "pretty simple" solution. If you can't answer then it's not so simple is it? You either haven't thought it through entirely to conclude that it's not actually possible to do that way.

> "designed their service pricing in a way that makes estimates really hard"

How so? You also keep repeating this without evidence. How is providing numbers on exactly what they charge for make it difficult? It's as transparent as it gets. They also have a calculator on their site. What more are you expecting?

> "for most services, billing caps really aren't that hard"

The nature of the service changes everything. Fly.io doesn't have billing caps, they just stop the apps when the credits run out and eat the bandwidth cost for now. The economics of scale can change that answer drastically, however even Fly repeats what I've said before: "the majority of people want their stuff to stay up" and "shut it down so you don't get billed" is usually not the preferred solution compared to negotiating a large bill.
That, or they are avoiding debt collectors by not being on the electoral register.

I've gotten the s10e just last month because it's the top phone that can still run linux on dex (which is a disappointment, but that's a topic for another day), and doesn't have those stupid Samsung edge displays (s10+ 12GB RAM edition).

I'm not sure those other phones are any better in terms of running linux (termux) and those non-samsung ones don't even have dex so I don't even know what the high specs are for.

S22 should be good once it's no longer the latest phone and you can grab at a discount, and maybe Android 13 with KVM is out by then.
> The word "axiom" is inappropriate here. This isn't science, it's a "just so" story. It's cereal box psychology. It's an attempt to dress up in big kids' clothes and I've got no respect for it.

I don't see any substantive criticism here. Can you explain what's wrong with WARP? I see it as a way of going from theories (people's preferences are such-and-such) to predictions (given WARP and these preferences, we expect these choice patterns, and not those).

>That's a shame, disdaining the source of real data. Of course brain scanners weren't that good back then, eh? But you don't need them. Pupil dilation, changes in pulse and respiration, capillary response, there are all sorts of signals that let you see "inside" the brain w/o fancy technology.

If you think that, then you can build a theory of utility involving that. There is an approach called neuroeconomics which tries to do so. My point is not to disdain these sources of information, it's that they aren't strictly necessary: preferences exist to predict choices and a given claim about someone's preferences can be falsified by observing their choices.

> Second, I don't need to know details about the nature of the BS, I can tell from the smell alone. Economics is in the same epistemological boat as Numerology and Astrology.

Of course, if so, then there's nothing further to discuss. Meanwhile:

* Autor et al. claim "import competition explains one-quarter of the contemporaneous aggregate decline in US manufacturing employment." What's wrong with their method? Why is it astrology?

* Banerjee and Duflo analyse microcredit using a randomized controlled trial. They find "no significant changes in health, education, or women's empowerment" and almost no long run effects. It seems important to understand whether popular anti-poverty policies work. Why is this barren?

* James Heckman has spent his life trying to understand how to help disadvantaged children, building mathematical theories of human capital and testing them on data. Why is this numerology?

* You blame economists for the loss of the Aral Sea. I would think it's more to do with Soviet planning. I hold no brief for Marxist economics, which was far from the mainstream already by the 1950s, but in any case, which economists were to blame?
Lindy Effect - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindy_effect
This is well known in the industry. Just under 10 years ago, I was on a support team for 'Enterprise flash', which meant PCIe cards stuffed with NAND flash. The card sizes were 500MB to 2.2TB.

One of our tasks was to help qualify supported systems, which went down to approving SOME chassis IF the card was in a particular slot with a specific airflow. In some cases, it was required that internal ribbon cables were re-routed to improve airflow. The flash cards would throttle progressively at set temperatures, eventually going read-only and offline to protect the contents.

The issue of temperature and thermal throttling carried-on into the 'consumer' HDD replacement market. I can recall attending an online tech briefing on SSDs where I put a comment in the chat that one issue not being covered was device temperature. When this was put to the panel of 'experts', they were a bit bemused, commenting that SSDs don't get hot because they consume less power than HDDs. Environmental conditons were not even considered.

Truth is that, with a bit of averaging, the power consumption of a modern 2TB HDD is about the same as a 2TB SSD: around 2-5W. Both devices generate heat and both devices are often in a warm environment.
To go with sibling's comment, Wadler also had a hand in designing Java's generics while Guy Steele was a co-author of the Java Language Specification. And the idea that Eric Meijer ignored PL research is just mistaken.

Instead of belly aching about everyone who did it wrong, why not explain what is wrong and why you think so.

I mean, I think think Rust didn't do it perfect because I often want to use Box<dyn MyTrait> which is a hassle because I need to mark every function ?Sized if I want to pass a reference to my `x: &T...where T: MyTrait + ?Sized` and I don't enjoy that.
If it doesn't use filter mediums, where does the salt and contaminants go?
My view is that 80% of the work done in a growing company is ... well it could be a simple black box (ie HR, payroll, even a lot of the hiring process etc etc). If SaaS companies had useful APIs and one could easily code over the top of them (which i guess is coming) we will see much "management" being amenable to coders

the rest of the 20% matters - "culture", core competencies and so on.

but strip out much of the busy work - have a "scalable company in a box" and just ask the founders to focus on the bits that really matter, and i think the brain space will be found

This is my favourite feature of gitignores.
Everytime I need "drafts", sample code, etc, in a repo, I create a folder in that repo, but then I have to remember to not add it to commits, and I don't want to add it to the .gitignore that is versioned, so I do "mkdir drafts && echo '*' > ./drafts/.gitignore", and it ignores my drafts without having to add a new ignored dir in the versioned .gitignores.

And obviously, it also "ignores" the .gitignore itself because it matches "*", while still taking it into account, which is what I need.
Oauth2 support for GMail
> That worked because under DOS, the current directory was system-wide, [0] not per-process, so a subprocess could change the parent process' current directory.

For people who don't know DOS: DOS didn't really have multiple processes. COMMAND.COM made part of it resident (TSR), which is how it "survived" invoking other applications. At any given point, there was exactly one process running, and all the state you'd typically associate with a process was "system-wide".

The Sony Xperia Z5 Compact was my previous phone that I'd had from 2015 until mid last year. It was close to perfect. Waterproof, headphone socket, SD slot. If a new version of that were released with less of a screen border than the original I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Thickness could stay the same too, I'd like the additional runtime rather than everything needing to be wafer-thin.

Make electricity grids be a proper open market, so that I can buy and sell electricity by the watt and by the second, and suddenly a lot of companies will invest in energy storage to earn money by buying low selling high.

Like theoretically I could do it in my own house - I could charge my phone battery at night when power is in low demand and cheap, and then discharge the battery back into the grid when power is in high demand and expensive.

But due to the lack of realtime market pricing, I won't get paid for that. So I won't bother.
I know sea salt is produced by filling up big pools and letting the sun do its thing, but capturing the water is challenging.

Although come to think of it, existing greenhouse technology would work, "just" fill a greenhouse with a layer of water or let it mist, then capture the precipitation off the roof. I'm pretty sure it needs a way to passively cool the thing though. I'm also sure there's a lot of factors why this wouldn't work, probably due to scalability compared to alternatives like reverse osmosis, land use, etc.
That’s actually very comforting, especially because I’m old and a new article comes out every other week explaining how it shortens one’s life!
I want to like Gimp but I just can't. It always gets in my way.

If I create a selection, then copy and paste, why isn't the result a new layer? Why is it something floating? I don't get that.

And why do all tool settings suddenly change when I start using my Wacom instead of my mouse?

Of course there are probably good answers for the above but it is just not intuitive.

It's a little sad because so much time and energy is put into Gimp. But every time I use it I start looking for alternatives. Krita for example.

I have been a Blender user for over 15 years. While the UI had a learning curve it always made sense to me. With Gimp this is not the case. I sometimes wonder if the people who built it also use it.
Thank you! I’ll review her but I always take that much D3.

Duplicacy + Wasabi. I get a terabyte of storage on Wasabi for $6/month, and the Duplicacy command line program is free. Whenever I feel like backing up, I run a single command that sends the latest (encrypted) diff of my files to Wasabi.

To recover everything from a new computer, you just install Duplicacy again and run like 2 commands.
This is the real problem. In most of southern NM and even west TX, these farmers use so much water that mosquitoes become a problem for parts of the year. In the desert....

Agriculture needs big reform here. Either cut it out, or make them pay their big share of water. But I guess nobody wants to buy a 50 dollar bag of almonds or pecans.

Personally, I might miss pecan pie once a year, but otherwise wouldn't even notice if both products ceased to exist.

My class in middle school was 80% honor students - each and every one of their presentations was Wikipedia copied verbatim.

Looking at the results of the final exam it should have been at most 20%.

To this day I wonder what kind of upbringing they had that they felt the need to cut corners like that at such an early age.
I think the key thing to note here is that "Half the population" != "Half of voters"

The last thing games need right now is a bigger scope.

AAA projects are playing it safe, precisely because they're so big that failing would be catastrophic.

Meanwhile, smaller games are redefining the medium. Disco Elysium has impressive writing and an interesting perspective on politics. FromSoftware games look technically worse but are teeming with creativity. Echo VR showed me the value of social presence in multiplayer games. And Outer Wilds... oh, Outer Wilds.

Also your assumption that "bigger == better", reminds me of how some people used to think that realism and realistic graphics where the ultimate goal.
anything similar for vim?
I've been thinking about that. I think the new "pipe" is filesystems instead of text. That's how I've been using Docker volumes in GitLab CI/CD the last couple of years.

EDIT: The alternative is PowerShell. You carry objects over the pipe instead of text. I don't like PS personally.
Before all the ZFS people chime in:

Some of us will NEVER accept ZFS's licensing. The ability to remain absolutely vigilant in regards to licensing immensely helped IBM during the SCO v. IBM debacle in regards to the JFS file system. We have learned this E-X-A-C-T lesson before.

Additionally, since the code originates from Oracle, many of us progress from being vigilant to outright paranoid. Oracle has never been forgiving, warm, soft, nor cuddly. Hell, even Torvalds himself wants Larry Ellison to personally sign off on ever including ZFS into the Linux kernel [0]

Taking a stand on things often leaves you on the wrong side of things. The reasoning behind the choice is often most interesting.
> being compatible only with ANSI-capable terminals is a feature, not a bug, go the fuck away. terminfo is a fucking joke. nobody needs to target obscure dumb terminals (or smart terminals, for that matter) from 1983 anymore.

No, terminal emulators differ all over the place, especially for new features. Do you want to lock yourself in and only use the ancient ANSI codes? In, like you say, “THE TWENTY FIRST FUCKING CENTURY”? Great, you do that.

What’s that you say? You want to use modern features on terminals which support it? Do you then write “if getenv("TERM") == "spiffy-terminal"”? Congratulations, you’ve just begun implementing your very own ad hoc, informally-specified and bug-ridden terminal UI library.

Yes completely remember, I still have production BackboneJs apps in use today.
I don't speak from authority, but I do speak from experience as an academic. Scientific Reports is run by Springer, who are more competent than Elsevier but just as predatory. Their acceptance rate is 48%, and in 2021, they published 23000 articles. (You can check this here: https://www.nature.com/srep/research-articles?year=2021.) At a publication fee of almost $2000 (Wikipedia), this is a money-making machine, as skewered by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8F9gzQz1Pms. I think it's obvious what the incentives are here.

The reason the method is not robust is that the typical polygenic score explains only 10% or less of the variance of its target phenotype. That leaves 90% of the variance unaccounted for by the control, which means your error term will be correlated with your focal dependent variable, violating the requirements for regression to give an unbiased estimate. I don't think these claims are controversial. We know polygenic scores are noisy. We know what happens when your control variables are noisy.

The fact that lots of people do it doesn't, sadly, make it work. Lots of social psychologists run trials with an N of 35 (though they're addressing this critique, to their credit). Lots of historians fail to specify their hypotheses and to search for disconfirming data. Economists spent the 80s and 90s running cross-country regressions, before realizing that they had, in aggregate, more independent variables than cases. And so on.
Did you know that Pimp My Ride first aired in 2004. That is 18 years ago. A whole generation of now growns ups don't know the show.
Yes, but that’s for dependencies, not for using the software. E.g. not developing a proprietary compiler on top of GCC but should be no problem running MongoDB as a user. The use-case in the talk is the latter one, where users don’t fall under the viral provisions, only competitors do.
Counterpoint: If I read a paper from a field I'm not an expert in, I certainly value an eloquent summary of the state of the art in the author's words (supported, of course, by plenty of citations). You will not achieve a coherently structured introduction if you limit yourself to the exact phrases found in source material (and especially if you require that each source material be quoted verbatim at least once).
I mean isn't C ubiquitous enough that it is essentially language agnostic? Or is your suggestion that is should be purely pseudocode?
