Yes. I think it's a good way to get started with Nix.

e.g. with nix installed, you'll be able to use the nix-shell to get the development dependencies without having to install system wide, if a shell.nix or flake.nix has been written for it. (e.g. for repos like https://github.com/helix-editor/helix).

You'll be able to use the `nix shell` command to try out a program without needing it installed system wide. Or you can figure out how to write your own nix-shells etc.

I think Home Manager is worth trying only once you're otherwise familiar with Nix (or if you find a good config to copy-paste from, though), since Nix's error messages and debugging still aren't great.
Totally disagree.

Flask is scaling really well for us and it’s flexibility is far better than Django’s opinionated approach.
Personally, and please dont bombard me with hate, i dont believe we have covid vaccines. The shots we received dont really seem to do anything against covid. It's not rare to see certain media figures brag about their shots and then a few weeks later hear reports that they have covid... that being said, because i dont know who received which brand, i cant really say that none of them work.. they have their differences and 1 might have positive effects against covid. Anyway. I'd say we are still a few years away from having a covid "vaccine".
> Just wait until device manufacturers start integrating always-on LTE modems with their own SIM cards ...

Just wait until someone deliberately buys such a "smart" appliance, tears the SIM card out (or does some free-style rewiring of the PCB), and starts prodding around what they can reach on the other side. They might even be so kind as to take a look at the analytics/remote-control protocol, maybe pull some credentials out of the SoC and provide a free fuzz testing service to the manufacturer.
What you're saying is wildly untrue. You are redefining words. Trust is completely different thing than valuation in markets.

You don't need to trust gold or bitcoin. They are verifiable. Don't trust, verify.

Also, the US dollar doesn't work very well, so you're redefining reality. They're constantly abusing that trust and creating way more money than would be necessary or moral.
doesn't matter, IMO. Playing favorites is a bad look for a privacy focused company, and it lowers trust in your products across the board.

There's pilot wave theory, where a particle behaves like a particle and is accompanied by a pilot wave, which behaves like a wave, the particle is also nonlocally affected by its pilot wave. This theory is nonlocal, which is problematic for different reasons.

>how do we know that entanglement is the result of 'spooky action at a distance'

The claim is opposite: spooky action at a distance is a result of entanglement.

> couldn't it be that the particles are created with correlated spins and no communication ever occurs between them?

That's how MWI explains entanglement.

People may misinterpret your point, unless you make it clear that RMS rejects the term "open source" in favour of "free software".
I suppose, but that's if you build it that way. A 'pure' function can also have state if you pull it in through global vars or other functions. Writing stateless code has to be deliberate no matter which method you use.
I love `entr`, but I've recently moved a lot of my `entr` usage to `watchexec`. Entr requires a file list on stdin, watchexec watches the current folder.

With entr:

find . | entr COMMAND

with watchexec:

watchexec COMMAND

Watchexec also gracefully handles new files and file deletions.

The claim that major elements of the social contract can be derived through logic and reason is controversial.

The "logic and reason" here has to do with the fact that the social contract is sufficiently real and functional enough to transcend mere "belief" in most people's lives.

I am going to make a suggestion. Try speaking with the head of a math department at a local community college or at the nearest college. Explain what your goals are and ask for guidence in putting together a plan. I think you will be suprised. You may well find a mentor who can help you. Everyone learns at their own speed and many aren't ready for some subjects until later in life. For example, I was a C student in high school and college in chemistry despite the attempts of my teachers to get me interested. In my 40's all that learning that I didn't care about started to surface and I found that I now remembered and understood more than I actually thought I learned. The same thing happended with Calculus. I barely passed it but when I needed it for my work it became fascinating. I believe you are about to experience the same sort of revelation. I am in my 60's and I can't wait to learn new things. A completely different person than who I was when I was younger. Become curious, it will lead you to a life of wonderful fullfillment.
ivermectin is very effective, but only if you have parasites, and it's not at all effective against COVID. hcq isn't effective against COVID either.

that said, there are some relatively good antivirals for COVID at this point.
It all depends on your definition of "secure".

- What kind of attack do we need to prevent?

- What do we need to be protected from?

- What do we not need to be protected from?

All of this (and more) must be defined in your threat model. A threat model precisely defines what "security" means for you in your context.
Without that the concept of "security" remains extremely vague and therefore it can always be called imperfect against an incredibly intrusive attack
You completely misunderstood my point.

Load following is the 1st category historically, currently filled by hydro, gas turbines, and batteries.

Base load was the 2nd category which was less flexible but historically cheaper coal and nuclear. The only advantage it has over load following is price.

We now how a new 3rd category intermittent generation which is also cheaper than load following but just like base load it can’t follow the demand curve.

Therefore replacing all base load generation with cheaper intermittent generation is absolutely fine as lone as load following can pick up the slack there is zero downsides.

PS: Nuclear doesn’t actually lower peoples electricity costs. The difference is people in France are paying a percentage of their electric bill in taxes rather than as a separate bill. That’s great for poor people, but less so for the economy.
Manufacturing a fake loss with a false valuation is not the same thing at all - you've just said that "if you can do fraud, then sure there's money to be made from losses". Fraud makes money? Sure! Losses do not.

> So the actual volume playing is effectively:

> Hardware volume x Windows master volume x Windows app volume x In-app volume

> No one wants or needs that level of control.

I don't have a separate hardware volume relative to the Windows master volume, but otherwise I want and need that level of control.

- Windows Master Volume: I turn the knob on my headset or keyboard and things get quieter or louder. This is the thing I adjust most frequently.

- Windows App Volume: I turn games down, usually to 10-20% or so. Then I turn everything but comms (discord, zoom, etc) down to 80%. This ensures that I hear live communication over all else, and that my games aren't drowning out whatever I'm watching in the background.

- In-App Volume: Here I adjust balance in games. Music unfortunately gets set to 0 because I'm rarely just playing a game these days. Voice lines get set higher than sound effects until I'm sure I can distinguish them clearly.

So many words to minimize what happened, makes the conclusion of "I understand why people are upset with us on this" seem a little insincere.

To me, this is really simple. You entered a contract that allowed a company to circumvent tracking protections. the extent and which product this happened on are only semantic details. It fundamentally undermines your trustworthiness as a supposedly privacy-oriented company.
Apparently the first petaflops computer was Roadrunner in 2008 [1]

So the supercomputer speed went 1000x from 2008-2022. But home computer speeds definitely did not go up that much, it was maybe around 10x. Does this mean there is more potential for home computers in the future?

Of course the supercomputers are massively parallel, but it's not like they got a 100x times larger building, or do they?

I think entr handles some things more cleanly, though:

1. Some bash is allowed, which has been confusing me. I'd rather call 'bash -c "echo stuff > file"' myself.
2. Watchexec has its own interface for "filter which files to watch". Entr just relies on unix tools.
GDPR hasn't magically fixed everything but people are actually thinking about privacy now which is the first step to achieving anything at all no matter the exact route.

You also want people to be able to get to work and not freeze to death in their apartments, and still be able to afford food after that.

It's not a gas crisis, there's enough gas, it's a politics crisis.
The point is that entr can then focus only on specific files... watchexec now has to add special behaviors for .gitignores and whatnot. It's way more flexible and you can alias this so you don't have to remember anything or save it to ~/bin/my-watcher-thing.sh (both of these things I find people are not using enough).
Yeah. I might be generalizing a bit, even though I made sure to emphasize that it is my isolated experience.

On the other hand I felt like a sample of 8 different interviewers from different offices and backgrounds felt representative. If it is true that the interviews are overwhelmingly negatively received, what is the probability that I would get more than half of reasonable interviews? Let alone 7/8.
There's a big difference. Everybody may believe that you own your house. And everybody may believe you own 100 bitcoins. At issue is what is the exchange rate between bitcoins and say US dollars. If that goes to zero then you've lost the value of your bitcoins. You have not lost the ownership of your bitcoins, they have lost their value.

Whereas for your house, no matter what its market value would be you still have the right to live there and prevent others from doing so.
Honda is one of the most conservative car companies. Among other things they took way longer to start introducing turbochargers into their mainstream lineup. It has its benefits.
Search-Cord.com a Project to archive Discord servers and make them searchable
Search-cord.com is a bot and a search engine, which have the goal to archive Discord servers and make them searchable for everyone.

Why did we start this project?

We as 2 guys who program a lot have noticed a problem: On many Discord servers there is an incredible amount of useful knowledge and many solutions for problems. Now it is unfortunately so that you can not find these messages outside of these servers.

The Idea:

We thought that we could develop a bot and a search engine to index the knowledge, archive it and make it easily searchable.

The solution:

Search-Cord.com was born exactly from these thoughts. We enable server admins to archive their Discord servers and make the knowledge on them available to everyone. We offer anyone who wants to make their own copy of the archive the ability to do just that through our API. And of course everyone can use the search engine for free

Search-engine-privacy:

We do not store data of search engine users.

Discord-privacy:

We store the content of Discord messages, the user ID, channel ID, server ID and username. But we only make the message content, timestamp and username public without #numbers via search engine or api.

We save the user ID so that each user can further anonymize his messages with our privacy tool or delete them completely from our database.

The channel and server ID is stored by us so that we can enable our context feature, with which you can see the messages following a message to find possible solutions.

So we're pretending we're living in a world like it's that one Matrix scene where Trinity instantly learns to fly a helicopter?

> What would the labor market look like?

My guess is that it would look like the distribution of the demand on resources. So something like what we have today, just with more automation since everyone also is competent at automating things.

There was a reddit thread on these anti-cheating software the other day, the threat mostly reminded me that I used to stare at the ceiling during exams.

And a bit more abstractly, they are trying to temporarily establish control over a space, so that their ml vodoo can flag suspicious behavior. A poster is actually a nice example, that they have problems with teenagers having a poster of their favorite pop star in their bedroom is an obvious, but there are probably also posters that get identified as a person with a probability of 10^-3 or so and subsequently flagged as another person entered the room during the exam. That situation is not improved by them not controlling the lighting of the room.

And of course, a institution paying a company to judge students is a recipe to ignore the students interests. We can assume that everybody involved thinks that minimizing false positives is important, in the abstract, however concretely this software is sold with a nice presentation to administrators and a nice UI for professors, minimizing the hoops students have to jump through, or their privacy, is not an immediate pain point for either.

I totally get this argument. The only counter argument I'd put forward is that once you've set up that boilerplace once (which you've now figured out), abstracting that into a little library file of your own that you understand isn't too much work (and easy to extend in the future). Another argument is that learning raw webgl and getting comfortable with it (which repeated boilerplate setup and general comfort with all the API calls creates with long term use) is likely learning that will transfer over to future projects more than mastery of p5 in particular would.

I'm mostly saying this as if talking to an earlier version of myself since I spent a lot of time learning threejs when I in hindsight now realize doing it with raw webgl (while building up a little boilerplate abstraction library and generally gaining comfort with the API) might have been a better use of time (especially long term). Kinda depends on what you overall goals are though too (and how eager you are to make the idea you have come into reality) etc etc.
The premise here seems wrong. SARS-2 vaccine development rides on the development of SARS vaccines. That's already almost two decades. Probably boosted halfway by research to manage the even more concerning MERS.

And that's not even the start of it. Those R&D efforts ride on about a century of basically successful vaccination against viral diseases.
Sure, there are plenty of species that are too slippery for now, and coronaviruses do their due diligence in attempts to escape the immune system, but to my understanding it's not a comparison on the same scale to ask for overcoming the immune evasion arsenal of a eucaryotic parasite with a complex multistage lifecycle, and Plasmodium is arguably in the big league within that category.
This policy is 100% voter appeasement and only to score political brownie points. If you graduate from a top Uni you'll have no issue getting a Tier 2 sponsorship (which costs less than £1000 per year plus some £200 per case for a company).

Home GPU’s have gotten more than a 10x boost from 2008 to 2022 and current supercomputers are much more expensive than those from 2008.

A 9800 GTX from March 2008 had 432.1 GFLOPS 32FP.
A 3060 GTX from February 2021 is at a similar price point and 12.74 TFLOPS 32FP. A 3090 Ti is 40 TFLOPS 32FP or 100x the performance of the 9800 GTX.
So their Stardust offering has been too good for their clients huh?

The political beliefs here refer to the CEO's political beliefs, given that this reaction is a consequence of the CEO's views on the conflict in Ukraine. There is a reason why DDG isn't actively censoring Chinese, American or Israeli disinformation as well, and that's because it's not in the CEO's political beliefs to do so.

But since you're trying to muddy the waters, I'm not "right wing" nor do I support the Russian invasion into Ukraine. I would have a similar reaction if CNN, Fox News or BBC were censored as well. I also wholly reject that a search engine's purpose is for "giving you [...] true information" -- I don't need that nor have I asked for it.
