My naive understanding is that carriers are not designed for use in conflicts where your enemies are those who can develop hypersonic missiles. Think about Iraq / Afghanistan; the carriers sitting nearby provided support for the invasion. They could easily stay far enough away that they don't have to worry about their safety because their opposition military was not very sophisticated.

Simple: carriers are for power projection against weaker enemies with low tech militaries. Thus their vulnerability against high tech miliraries is a moot point since wars between high tech powers == World war == unlikely (hopefully).

It's important to note that Hawking Radiation is not a confirmed phenomenon, and unless we actually find such a small black hole, it will never be confirmed (stellar mass black holes are too cold compared to the microwave background to emit Hawking radiation, and will continue being so for an extraordinarily long time.
It’s actually even worse than that I think. If something takes over a certain amount of time, then I’m more likely to go do something else while I wait, like check Hackernews. And there goes 20 minutes.

You say Microsoft is in a bind because in most of its businesses it is facing existential threats from stiff competition. But that is exactly how free market capitalism is meant to work.

You almost imply that we can expect better corporate citizenship (whatever that means) from corporates with comfortable monopolies. I think 90s Microsoft is probably sufficient rebuttal of that.
It's very useful in film CGI, for example if you need a background for a flying helicopter/plane/superhero or, if it's detailed enough, need to simulate a building collapsing or even just the shadows of a flying object to then overlay on your real footage. Even if you need to manually model the block you're filming on, it's still a great starting point and can be used for anything far enough or not in focus.

Outside of that, I know people also use it to plan solar panel installations (simulating shadows to optimize roof solar panel placement) and I'm planning to use it for determining how much sunlight and subsequently heat different streets get with the eventual goal of being able to route around the hottest streets when walking in the summer.

Inequality is about the ratio of high earners to low earners.
What you have linked to is a different concept, i.e. absolute income.
Income inequality in china also increased, see figure 5:
https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/businessreview/2019/04/01/income-ine...

Imagine you live in a neighbourhood of 50 people. Everyone starts earning more, that's absolute income increase. Then imagine your richer neighbours income has increased 100x faster than anyone else, that's income inequality.
I was bitten by a tic when I was a kid, maybe 30 years back, got the target rash, went to the doctor and got some antibiotics - no idea which ones, and IIRC I didn't take the full course.

Around 5 years later I got reactive hypoglycemia, an autoimmune condition. Though thinking back, it may have started developing shortly after the tic bite.

Around 10 years after that, I got 2 separate skin conditions, also autoimmune in nature.

Around 10 years later, I developed more autoimmune issues, small fibre neuropathy and CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome) - so I have constant neuropathic pain, constant muscular pain, bad brain fog, chronic fatigue and PEM (post-exertional fatigue).

I have no proof that the tic bite is the root cause, and Lyme tests at the time the symptoms came on were negative; still, I can't help but wonder if the actions of that tiny tic, 25 years back, were the cause of ruining my life.
I recently listened to a podcast in which two senior political advisers talked about how they were surprised by the importance of fertilizers and the fact that a lot of fertilizers come from those countries. They had no idea before hands, and nobody around them talked about it.

We see incompetent people around us every day, but sometimes we forget that there are incompetent politicians as well. The big difference, and what bothers me the most, is that they never admit their mistakes because of all the political party BS that is often the main priority and goal.

> trying to isolate Desktop Linux as an irrelevant layer

They're obviously doing that, but they don't really need to.

Desktop Linux is its own enemy. 2 major GUI toolkits, frequent upgrades to them, generally with breaking changes, multiple DEs, frequent upgrades to them, also with breaking changes, a full decades of bickering over a solution that solves actual end user and operator problems in a standardizing way (systemd), immature GUI software after decades (Gimp & co), chronic lack of funding because nobody can figure it out, etc.

I've been around Desktop Linux for more than 15 years. I still hear bad arguments I heard back in 2005.

Plus, the ship has sailed. Mobile devices outnumber desktops and laptops and will only continue to grow. The money surrounding mobile dwarfs desktop. And Linux lost on mobile, it was it best chance to become the primary platform somewhere. Android doesn't count. Android used a cheap and standard kernel with many drivers and plopped a million proprietary things on top that look nothing like Desktop Linux.

You'll say I'm wrong, yet I'm willing to bet $100 that this discussion will look the same way in 15 years.
If you find out why conflicts and wars have broken out in the past, that could enable you to devise strategies to avoid them in the future.

Just like post-mortems in other areas. A plane crashed? Investigators go find out why, amend protocols and technical safeguards so that root cause won't bring down another plane in the future. Too many bad side effects of some drug? Investigation into why and adjustment of recommendations to doctors. You had a prod network meltdown? The responsible team does an ideally blame-free investigation to find the root cause and re-structures their setup to prevent it next time. Fight with your wife? Find out what caused it and then improve communication or expectations or whatever contributed to it. A war broke out? THOSE GUYS ARE EVIL AND WE NEED MORE SPENDING ON WEAPONS!!!1

Since WW2, all those former world-power countries in western Europe have lived in peace with one another, not because they built weapons for mutually assured destruction, but because they built economic interdependence and mutual understanding. That's a start and proper research into this could take things much further.

On a few of my cards I now write across the top what account it is, as so many cards are unidentifiable at a glance in my wallet.

Seems like a failure in design.
Batteries have the very large disadvantage that cost is per Wh stored. Flow batteries can reduce this, as capacity becomes a matter of tankage and electrolyte.

The sweet spot for storage is near-zero opex, very low per-Wh stored capex, and cheap capex per-W in and, particularly, out. Thus, weight for watt-hours, and simple motor / generator for watts in and out.

Synthetic fuel has the appeal that the stored energy is readily tanked and transported, and very saleable; enough so to overcome low round-trip efficiency, expensive electrolysers for W-in, and complicated combined-cycle turbines for W-out.

Note that, without a consistent theory of quantum gravity, we don't know if black holes of such sizes can actually exist; and unless we happen to detect some, we don't actually know if Hawking radiation exists - it's not something that can be observed for a stellar-mass black hole in realistic time frames (a stellar mass black hole is predicted by the theory to evaporate after ~10^64 years - so the evaporation is far too slow to be observable; further, in the current age of the universe, the temperature of the cosmic microwave background is too high compared to the temperature of the Hawking radiation emitted by a stellar mass black hole for it to be observable, even theoretically).
Also plain text files are usually generated. They are arrays of 1s and 0s. No one wants to write that by hand.

I think that this is not a sensible definition of a generated file. A more sensible definition is that a generated file is created automatically from some source, which is not user input (i.e. an other file). This means generated files do not need to be kept under git, as long as their source is checked in.

Translations files, even if they are not created with a plain text editor but with some other tool that handles the XML layer, are clearly not generated, as long as the translation is done by a human.

Paper quality is one of the most impactful factor of your setup. Don't even try to do water heavy techniques or glazing on something that is not 100% cotton. If you do, it won't look great, will be a pain to work with, and you won't understand why it doesn't work like the tutorial you're watching. I still use a non 100% cotton paper for practice, but you have to know the limitations.

For paints, look at reputable brands and start with their student grade. It's often the same quality but with fewer pigments. It means that you'll have to fight with your paint more to get darker values. Watercolor is a relatively inexpensive medium, you can graduate to better paints later. You don't need more than 12 colors at first.

To start, find a style you like and search content on youtube. There is a ton of great artists sharing their knowledge out there with a wide variety of processes.

My most important advice would be :

- Learn the color wheel and how to mix paint (rarely use paint straight off the tube, it's often too saturated)

- Value is by far the most important thing to nail. It's the bones of your painting.

- Watercolor is one of the most difficult medium to master. It can be hard to grasp the technique while learning about light, edges, composition, and other painting standards. I learned my fundamentals in digital painting, which is much more forgiving, and would recommend it to anyone (you can find cheap tablets like Huion for 50$ and it works just as well as a 150$ Wacom). For digital, I can't recommend the course from Craig Mullins on Schoolism enough. He's not only one of the greatest digital painter out there, but a great teacher too.

> I manually viewed 55 LinkedIn profiles over the course of 2 hours, and copy-pasted out only their "spoken language" field.

It sounds insane, but I suspect what tripped their heuristic was not so much looking at a lot of profiles but not messsaging any of them within LinkedIn's messaging system, which is their use-case for making money (recruiter/journalist/hiring manager/etc.) So your browsing behavior appears to LI's heuristics either like a scraper or a legit user who isn't likely to convert into a paying customer, and they simply don't care which you are (whatever the TOS might allow).

I'm shocked LI's heuristics are that bad. I recommend you post your issue here (suitably anonymized) as a separate thread (link from here), and I expect it'll get upvoted.
I'll just say that while Linux desktop is not perfect, I see much more people who're "assembling" their own environments to work at speeds I can't ever imagine.

I'm part of a community who does amazing things with all these fragmented parts and assemble unimaginable things while staying productive and inventing new ways of work.

The overall maturity of these small parts have not reversed the tide, but actually changed it a lot.

As a macOS and Linux user for 15 years, I see that both can work seamlessly without much effort, but Windows built on a completely different platform, can't talk this language of protocols and composability natively, or work as seamlessly.

Microsoft is right to feel threatened, because they're threatened by two sides.

Then it is just not that many of them.
Over decades I've written a scanline renderer, a ray tracer, a radiosity renderer, and a DirectX game engine.

Both ray tracers and the related ray-based radiosity renderers are so simple that I wrote one of the latter for fun in a mandatory IT training class using JavaScript in a browser because the locked-down training PCs had no dev tools. I used literally Windows Notepad and got a nice looking Cornell box within a few hours.

However, what bugs me to a visceral level is how "against the grain" the performance of random sampling is. It's mathematically beautiful, a simple application of Monte Carlo integration, but from a computer engineering perspective it is hideous. Random unbiased sampling produces "reference grade" images but only through tremendous brute force to suppress noise from things like caustics or textured reflective materials. Biased sampling always introduces complex, unpredictable errors into the final render, which makes me feel "itchy" for the want of a better word.

Then to layer insult onto injury, random memory access patterns are murder to every modern CPU and GPU cache hierarchy design. You get the worst case performance of uncached RAM reads for every sample. Working around this takes heroic effort of complex acceleration data structures, "sorting & bundling" of rays, and more. To this day, it is effectively an unsolved problem, albeit NVIDIA has had some really impressive progress lately.

Dollars do not provide utility. The reason why you need dollars, as you’ve pointed out, is that people with guns might show up at your house if you do not pay them in dollars. Conveniently, you can also get people with guns to force others to pay you in dollars to satisfy a wage, trade, or debt. That’s not really any sort of utility, but utility is not really required for a currency.

Bitcoin was never supposed to be like a modern currency. It was an experiment to create something like gold except with the property that it can be easily transmitted and stored by individuals. The theory was that we only had fiat currencies as a proxy for gold because gold lacked these properties, and if it had them, it could be used as a universal kind of cash. I think our understanding of the dollar system was poor back then because it was the first time we questioned it. The term “fiat” that we use so much implies that value rests upon some common belief. This has been exposed as ridiculous by observing any individual or even entire nation that lost faith in their mandated currency and tried using a different system. They were annihilated. It turns out that the system is much more than a popular delusion; it’s a real visceral power structure. Then the Bitcoin value thesis became the common belief that the current system is unsustainable globally across the board, and something has to fill the gap when it fails. This was also challenged in the last boom by actual acceptance and integration with the existing system, so maybe it will be more like a slow mutual transition to something like global reserve status alongside gold, with young male nerds and Indian housewives using it as decoration. Every boom starts with some kind of systemic failure and ends with a crackdown. The next I would guess will have something to do with a major war that essentially backs Bitcoin with physical force to achieve equivalence with others. It’s not something I’d like to see, but it’s the next logical step in these cycles of escalation.

Exactly. This is yet another bizarre move from MS which doesn't exactly seem to make financial sense and just pisses off developers who might otherwise be persuaded to soften their stance towards them.

Any primordial black holes of low mass that may have formed would have evaporated long ago through Hawking radiation. If you plug the mass of a tennis ball into the equations, it would evaporate in well under a second. (Btw, don't stand next to anything that radiates the entire mass-energy of a tennis ball in under a second. Small black holes shine really brightly)

Yeah, very confusing title. I was wondering if "dotfiles" had a completely different meaning than the obvious one, but his link to it was exactly what I expected.

I guess what he means is not so much the dotfiles themselves, but the customization and sharing of them, and not for computers, but for containers, and not dotfiles, but Docker configuration. But other than that I'm sure it's basically the same thing.
I think you can see some of this sort of thing in his later writing but most of it is unaffected IMO. The other thing to remember about dead writers is that they're products of their surrounding culture. People freak out about HP Lovecraft for example but American culture was extremely different then.
They're likely referring to "storing your config data in a repo" as "dotfiles" here. It makes sense in that light: where backing up your config data makes life easier for you when you set up a new machine, this makes it easier whenever you'd like to demo new software by creating a mini-VM. This is just expedited sandboxing with web access built in.

The two feel complementary; you'd likely still want your dotfiles included in the images you're spinning up.
