As deep as I have to.

Usually, I know in advance what I want to build with the new technology and what quality level my customer needs. I'm always super impatient to try new knowledge out in practice. So I'll learn for a day, then try it out in the evening. And then I only go back to learning as long as the results are still too bad to solve my problem.
Again, what are you trying to say here? Some scientists are Catholics? Some of them are even famous? What does that have to do with anything?
Why couldn't you simply respect the author's wish to leave the text private?
Pretty much, and understanding what is going on "under the hood" as it were can be informative. Had the author done a 'cp myfile.foo /dev/sdb' on a UNIX system they would have found they now had a regular file named '/dev/sdb' with the contents of myfile.foo and and their sd card would have remained untouched. But you would only know that if you realized that cp would check to see if the file existed in the destination, unlink it[1], and then create a new file to copy into.

The subtlety of opening the destination file first, and then writing into it, was what made dd 'special' (and it would open things in RAW mode so there wasn't any translation going on for say, terminals) but that is lost on people. Bypassing the page cache and thus not killing directory and file operations for other users of the system is a level even below that. Only the few remaining who have done things "poorly" an incurred the wrath of the other users of the system sitting in the same room really get a good feel for that :-). Fortunately for nearly everybody these days they will never have to experience that social embarrassment. :-)

I tshould have been clearer about what I mean by the law. I'm treating the laws themselves as immutable, and referring to the process of their interpretation. Ie, the judgment that happens in a courtroom. Which laws should exist depends on moral arguments though. So the point does essentially stand.

The fact that people act out of mostly inscrutable, heuristic biological interest as a form of moral empiricism, does in fact count as out of bounds. I'm allowed to have a moral system that compels me not to reproduce, for instance. It's just not terribly likely (although not impossible) to be an effective reproductive strategy.

If you want to have a completely unrelated discussion about this, I'm more than willing, but I think you should probably refine the proposition "Private property exists".
And yet if you have to use or rely on code by other people, you for sure don't want the code from a grinder, work hard and get something out by hook or by crook, rather than the code from a brilliant thinker who goofs around and then does an elegant and complete solution. There's good intentioned and capable people that are a net negative to a code base. It's like yes, this solves the problem of the minute, but couldn't you have taken two hours to think a little?
After reading the relevant article section, I'd guess he's talking about the idea that problems can be mapped onto mathematical structures, allowing use of pre-known rules within said structure, for transformation and identity and so on, such that the problem can then be solved. He's saying that for simple problems if you're clever you can intuit the solution without that mapping/manipulation/solve process, but as a result you can never see how to solve more complex problems. Implication being that if you had been slightly less smart, you'd end up understanding mathematical structure earlier in life, with associated benefits in terms of success in certain fields.

What is this comment supposed to mean? Do you want the contracts to go to the small mom-and-pop pharma companies?

Monkeypox, if it becomes a real big problem, will likely be very different than Covid-19. I think if we learn anything its that we should let the experts do their job and just listen to their advice, and not automatically think that everything we learned from Covid-19 will transfer over. It's pretty straightforward to do that, but we haven't even mastered that yet.
Yes, I'm speaking broadly when I say coupes have no window frame. There's not a universal definition of what makes a coupe and what makes a sedan. Some say 2d vs 4d but that's not true either. It was useful for my response to classify coupes in that way. Your STI (great car BTW) is only "officially" a sedan by Subaru's nomenclature and marketing position of the car, not by some global standard or definition.

Different cars have different air-tightness of the cabin, different interior volume, different door pull designs, and different door weights. It's these factors combined that dictate whether such window shenanigans are useful or not. Not just the inherent limitations of sealing the glass against the roofline.

The major point of my response was that Tesla's claim (per the post, I didn't verify) that this is needed or useful to somehow improve the longevity of the weatherstripping, is nonsense. However, there are other valid reasons for this behavior.

Some here have written helpful things about prioritizing. But to choose priorities, I think one needs to know one's purpose, in life.

I arrange everything based on that, using a "pvsgeer" framework: purpose, vision, strategy, empowerment/execution, report/review/repeat.

I wrote some things at my web site about purpose in life (in profile, no ads or sales), whether one is religious or not. (If you want details and can't find them, you can email me--it is in the site footer.) It revolves around learning (personal growth in ability to serve one's family and others), and then service. There are important things to learn about the nature of life that also help.
I thought the plug was good. I'm looking to start a startup soon, so I've been consuming a lot of this type of content. The topic is echoed among a lot of VCs right now, the charts were nice, and it tied into the app plug well. I even shared it to my friend who does managerial accounting.

Since the OP is here, I am confused.

In the first section, are you saying that:

a) tags can and should be named to include the sha at the end; and

b) git commands silently discard everything before "-g" if what follows is a sha?

I feel like I've missed something as I find b) very surprising. (Consider giving someone the string $LATEST_VERSION_NUMBER-g$MALICIOUS_VERSION_SHA; I can't work out an exact exploit but it seems wrong to only process the SHA.)
Same here. And I will continue to use it

Take a look at what "simulations" the usual globalist suspects are running at their conferences. Both Covid and Monkeypox were the subject of such simulations in the years before they emerged as "OMG we're so ill prepared" pandemics.
Lambdas have resource constraints that Airflow DAGs don't. Most notably, Airflow DAGs can run for any arbitrary length of time. And the local storage attached to the Airflow cluster is actual disk space, and not just a fake in-memory disk, making it possible process files larger than the amount of memory allocated to the DAG.

There's certainly some functionality overlap, but I don't see Lambda and Airflow as competitors. Each has capabilities that the other doesn't.
Thank you for sharing this.

I used to be pro-choice. I think a lot of women (and men) are because of the fear they might be in a position of needing an abortion themselves, or other abstract/potential concerns. Framed as a right to body autonomy, pro-choice seemed the obvious position of any feminist, and how could you possibly believe otherwise?

Then I was in the position of having to make the decision myself. Now, years removed, I still don't feel comfortable posting details online, even under a pseudonym. But suffice to say my partner and I were in a position of having to decide whether to terminate a pregnancy that we had really wanted, due to unexpected medical news. Suddenly all those clever pro-choice arguments seemed hollow, now that we were in the position of making the decision ourselves. This was a real thing. She had a heartbeat. We watched her move and react on the ultrasound. We had, for weeks, imbued our hopes and dreams into this unborn child. We could terminate, but it'd be our call. We'd be pulling the trigger. In that moment I finally understood and emotionally connected with the pro-life position and "abortion is murder!" slogans.

Now I recognize it is a much more complex, multi-faceted issue than I ever previously thought. Every now and then I look and my daughter and think: I almost killed you. How could I have possibly done that? I get the arguments on both sides of the issue, and I don't think that there is any simple solution. It now frustrates me to no end to see people being very loud and very vocal about what are essentially straw man versions of the opposing side's arguments, and vilifying anyone who thinks differently or has lived a different experience. Whatever happened to civil society?

To be honest, I don't even think faculty are told how to take advantage of this... they're off campus too and in the last couple of years, the hours have not been great. Food is totally fine for what it is, though!
This does not contradict anything that I said. It's not harsh to refer to the argument as being worthless in this case. It might as well not exist. One can be well served by a belief system that justifies nothing, or a belief system that is full of contradictions, but listening to them rationalize it isn't going to help me understand any better than it helped them (which was not at all).
Yeah there's always a shortage of people willing to do my bidding for free.

The common people are in a recession. The folks at Davos this week, or the people at the top of the governments are enjoying the greatest degree of power and wealth in history.

You and I can't afford to do the things we could afford to do pre-pandemic, but the Davos set have more wealth and more uncontested power.
Regulated utilities, for example, are under constant scrutiny to be sure that they are allocating costs appropriately, and that any subsidies conform to public policy.

Somehow the medical industry has so far largely avoided such oversight.

Even within a single enterprise, misallocation of costs can lead to inefficiencies.

Typically, even as a pre-seed or seed company, you can rely on being able to raise your next round if you hit certain milestones in your key metrics.

For example, if you are a SaaS company, you have a good story and team, and your TAM makes sense, you could have previously hit $300k-$1M ARR and raised a Series A. Some startups were even raising A's pre-revenue. In the new environment, that ability will likely dry up.

Academia is full of mechanisms to negatively judge your research work. In fact judgement is pretty much the only constant in the field: every single piece of work you do will be under constant scrutiny, will be torn apart both before and after publication, and your entire (research) value will be harshly judged by outsiders on a more or less constant basis.

The one positive of this environment that when you see someone who has succeeded in publishing a substantial amount, it's safe to presume that their work is not entirely without merit. That's not a 100% guarantee, but it's a good heuristic. A post like this implies that the author's personal judgement is more insightful than a process that I know to be enormously thorough and harsh, and yet it provides only vague assertions and no details on methodology. At the same time it's hard to ignore that the post is written by someone who is (understandably) a bit bitter and probably isn't being entirely objective in their evaluation.

In general it's not my impression that this sort of post produces reliable feedback that outsiders should rely on, and (unless it's very carefully anonymized, which it isn't) it also leaves bitterness in its wake.
Electromotive, the story of Arp Instruments (2020)
As Lowe notes in the blog piece, statements of about 85% protection from the smallpox vaccine are going around.

I haven't seen anything in particular about the protection resulting from a full-blown, non-attenuated infection, but as I understand it from discussions apropos another pathogen of fame lately, the rule of thumb is more comprehensive and lasting immunity from going through the disease as compared to vaccinations.

That is, I believe you ought to be in great shape compared to most of the world population.

What was it like? If it can be meaningfully described...
Why should the journey be orthogonal to the destination? The Bible confirms that both are vital.

The Sermon on the Mount commands Christians to be kind, loving and good people in this life.

Verses like Matthew 6:19-21, Colossians 3:2 and 1 Corinthians 2:9 compel Christians to live this life in light of eternity.

To me, if you accept the presuppositions of the Christian worldview, this is logical. If this life and how you live in it is important, how much more so is eternity? After all, life is temporal. (Mark 8:36)

> That's not the message of Christianity
> The end means almost nothing to me.

This betrays a fundamental lack of understanding of the Bible. Again, the Bible presupposes the existence of an eternal Heaven and an eternal Hell. This life is the seedtime for eternity.

I'm not here to argue with non-Christians about the validity of these pre-suppositions. I'm saying for those who call themselves Christian and therefore hold the Bible to be true, the end (should) means everything to them.

> I'm not just insisting it's a strawman. It is a straw man.

It wasn't a strawman (I do not claim anyone argued everything in private is legal), it was reductio as absurdum - taking the privacy argument to its logical limit. If a right to privacy makes abortion legal because it is private, why does this apply only to abortion? Actually, only to a subset of abortion, since "this right is not unqualified and must be considered against important state interests in regulation".

You quoted the court saying this is "not unlimited" and about "personal privacy" (distinguished from 'general' privacy?). How does any of this follow from "security against unreasonable search"? Or do I misunderstand, and they derived this right from some other amendment or combination of amendments?

The reasoning, so far as I understand it, is tortured at best, so I'd be grateful if you could clarify the court's logic for me.

> > The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

> The government can't pass laws against "Turtles Suck!" because that power is not granted them.

I find this way of explaining things somewhat disingenuous. Very few powers are delegated to the federal government, but all of those that are are (because of the limitations of language) sufficiently ambiguous that they can interpreted as allowing all manner of legislation and regulation.

> > One of the central points of a Constitution is to mark certain things off-limits to democracy.

> This only applied to federal portion of "democracy" until the 14th amendment which added restricting the states re Bill of Rights. 14th wasn't adopted until 1868. I don't think it's that central.

(1) you're suggesting that before the 14th amendment, a state could pass a "law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." ? That seems preposterous.

(2) It seems generally accepted that the supremacy clause of Article VI of the constitution is the basis for the US Constitution covering state law.

(3) we live in 2022, and the US Consitution is as-it-is-today. The fact that something may have been added via an amendment (though above I dispute this) doesn't make it more or less "central".
Monkeypox is symptomatic quickly and once resolved in the next couple of months, the infected person ceases to be infectious. That's very different than HIV, which rarely goes away in an infected person and doesn't develop into symptomatic AIDS on a similar timeframe as monkeypox. This makes HIV much more difficult to control.
Here in France: I had a ~1 900€ salary after taxes (incl. income tax, 2 000€ otherwise) but because I was working in a company fulltime (the contract stated I was to devote myself 100% to my research, the reality was different but that's another topic).

My partner, on the other hand, has a public contract (with teaching charge), she gets around 1 400€ after taxes. Living with this in Paris is not easy (1 studio of 15m² will cost around 650-700€)

It was "mud wrestling in a suit" - a pretense of civilization revealing very low urges in action; large investments in refinements spent to trick the surface.
