This is true, but the author seems to be running their services on several Raspberry Pi like devices whose flash storage may be unstable or quick to wear out. Eliminating unnecessary writes and swap space (depending on the application), those megabytes of extra memory may be just enough what tricks the system into committing memory into swap.

You can run quite a lot in 512MB of RAM if you use the right languages to write code in. I was surprised about how little RAM my moderately complex daemon written in Rust uses, for example; I expected to have to allocate a gigabyte of RAM to the VM running it (based on what other tools similar to what I was doing needed) but the entire system turned out to be quite comfortable with just a quarter of that. I didn't even try to optimise for memory usage, which is what made this so surprising. I stil had to give it some more RAM because unattended upgrades tended to get stuck, but I learned a lesson that day.

Ever since I've been meaning to try to mess with Firecracker + bare bones daemons to run virtual machines services with absolutely minimal overhead. I like the virtualisation boundaries from a security standpoint much more than container boundaries and now I wonder how much I can shrink my overhead by.
That would be interesting to see. In my experience, many private schools actually pay less.

We were a logged-in only service, and measured that users acquired on the app who never used the website were typically retained longer than users acquired on the web who never used the app.

We certainly did encourage users acquired on the web to download the app, and the fact that those who did were retained longer could have been a selection effect, but I don't think this accounts for users who never saw the other platform.
Not quite the question you asked, but "Classic Set Theory for Guided Independent Study" by Derek Goldrei is a great self-study intro to ZFC, which is the formal foundation of any other math you'll read about. I think the early chapters are simple enough that they'd make good practice for reading and writing proofs (though I didn't encounter it until I already had some experience doing that. I still think it's an exceptionally good book for self-study, though)

With proofs, I also think there are three layers:

1. How do I draw logical conclusions from premises. This is the most straightforward part.

2. What are some of the clever tricks mathematicians use for doing this (e.g. constructing non-intuitive counterexamples, finding equivalences between two seemingly incompatible things, etc). This requires reading other proofs, and is slower, but can be very fun if you like math and find clever proofs beautiful.

3. Finding the right English words and phrases to capture the logic you have in mind (the language used in proofs is not normal English, and it has its own idiosyncrasies and conventions. Like other mathematical notation, it's often specific to particular fields of math and sometimes to a specific author). This also requires reading proofs, I think, and is also where one benefits the most from formal instruction ("how do I say X in my proof?") but I think you can get there on your own with some persistence. It's not Klingon either—proofs are supposed to be readable—but it's a bit like code, maybe, or legalese. If you just try to write nice prose, other mathematicians may find it confusing or non-rigorous.

It can be good to separate the three. Specifically, when learning a new field of math, the proofs sometimes don't feel rigorous to me right away, but once I get used to the the basics and the linguistic conventions, I'm more able to fill in the holes in my head
Monumental Reckoning: What we can learn from 350 slaves encircling F. Scott Key
A more charitable way to look at it might be 'we identified the specific neural correlates of competitive vs aggressive activity', but that's not as catchy. The authors make the point that they deliberately picked a mild kind of rivalry because it was fun and socially desirable, vs selecting for some deeply held antagonism that might be stressful to the subjects.

There is prior evidence that some people actively prefer seeing an opponent worse off (even at a cost to themselves) than merely outcompeting an opponent.

No, it wasn’t. Sandybridge started with the Nehalem code base. I was there when it happened.
The way i read is that i usually build a synthesis as i read. A lot of sentences exist not to convey a particular point but to build upon or around and existing one. If you focus on reading while building this "structure", then you can read them as patters and you do not need to remember every single sentence.

If I read a book, i will remember at the first reading nearly all the points, the structure, what it tries to talk about, what i like and why. I will not remember all the details of every single arguments or all the details of all the plot points. It is a different way to read and goal.

In 95% of the US traveling by bike is insanely dangerous. Drivers do not expect to see bikes and their habits are adjusted accordingly. For example driving on the shoulder to let someone pass. Noone expects to see a bike there and pedestrians aren’t foolish enough to stand there, and a bike would be in even more danger in the road itself. In Austin the so called bike lanes are crossed over by car turning lanes. Zero chance of me biking on public roads until bike lanes are physically separated, not just some painted line. I’ve been to Amsterdam and places where it is safe and we are decades if not centuries away from that working here.

Sabine Hossenfelder is a great source to follow (and author of books to read).

One of the absolute worst things about the pandemic was the deluge of garbage articles about COVID, like the ones she's talking about. "Someone somewhere found a correlation of X with Y!!!" gets reported as if it were Nobel-worthy.

"Did it used to be different?" No, science reporting has always been garbage. But in the before times, the mainstream news still reported garbage, but there was less of it to report, and you could easily find quality reporting if you looked for it.

Now there are many more "experts" vying for press time, and the press is able to disseminate their garbage much more effectively.

> Environmental cost is a BS argument because nobody talks about the environmental cost of the already existing technologies that they are using.

Have you been living under a rock for the past several decades? Or is this only a thing in EU? Every single fridge or TV sold has an energy class rating. Apple's new processors are all the rage because of their performance per watt. We use 230v (rather than 110v) AC because it's more efficient over medium-distance power lines.

> So there is no difference in between using an electric car and crypto in that regard - you are still using carbon-producing energy.

The car uses energy to move mass, it's almost the textbook definition of work in physics. Cryptocurrency is based on proof of waste - you must provide a mathematical proof of pointlessly wasted CPU cycles to conduct transactions.

Googling around to try to figure out why our experiences are different, I found that the requirement was only brought back in 2019 for second and third graders. It appears Texas stopped requiring it in the early 2000s, only to bring it back a few years ago.

If your children passed third grade before the 2019-2020 school year, they wouldn't have run into the requirement.

> Do you take the same approach to cars? Or do you reserve such aggressive tactics only for vulnerable road users?

Look in the manual for your car (or pick a random one on the internet and download it). If the headlight stalk has a momentary mode there's a good chance it's literally referred to as "flash-to-pass". It's not aggressive, it's how to communicate a desire/intent to pass to slower traffic.

To your specific question, have you ever seen a line of cars behind a tractor or school bus on a rural road? Or an octogenarian doing 48 MPH on a highway?

How about bicyclists on a path shared with pedestrians? Funny that, cyclists often have the same problems with pedestrians as drivers have with cyclists. Heck, I'd bet joggers have conflicts with walkers.

It's not about the bicycle, it's about slow traffic blocking fast traffic.

Slow traffic that is blocking fast traffic on a shared path should attempt to enable safe passing, for everyone's benefit. Sometimes, especially in hilly/mountainous areas, this involves actually pulling over and stopping because there's not enough room to allow for safe passing in motion. It's not unheard of for such roads to have pull-off areas specifically for this purpose. It's courteous and it makes everyone's day better.

> Do children "play" with dolls? I don't think that is a slam-dunk.

Seriously?

> As far as we know, children may be mindless automata

Yes, that's possible. You can't prove that humans in general are not philosophical zombies. But I have memories of being self-aware around age 4 or so, so from my own personal experience I put that as an absolute upper bound on where humans might not be persons yet.

On the other hand, I also remember exhibiting I/O behavior that would cause an outside observer to conclude that I was experiencing much more intense pain than in retrospect I was actually experiencing.

> Facial Action Coding System

Of course it is possible to create a taxonomy of facial expressions and how those correlate to physical stimulus. What you can't do is know the subjective experiences that those expressions correspond to because no adult knows what it is like to be a baby. If anyone actually knew that, we would not be having this discussion at all.

> We can draw robust, valuable conclusions about subjective states without enjoying deductive certainty.

I don't deny that. What I'm saying is that you cannot draw those conclusions simply by observing a system's I/O behavior. You have to take the underlying mechanism into account. If you doubt this, look at this photo:

https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91YBjzSRmnL...

The subject of that photo appears to be in distress, but it is not in fact in distress. The way I know this is that the subject of that photo is actually a doll (look at the eyebrows), and dolls cannot be in distress. So there is an existence proof that merely because a physical system appears to be in distress that is not enough evidence to conclude that it is in fact in distress. You need something else.
No. What I am saying is that for the majority of cases, there is no "trust" involved. There is a protocol that ensures that the exchange occurs properly, regardless of any trust relationship between customer and seller.

I don't even know how to RSVP for a Facebook event.
this is all true. and yes, one should never be rude and one should always be respectful of others' time and efforts.

but there is indeed another side to the equation: software does not succeed in a vacuum. it is a symbiosis between users and developers that make software great. a software package gains momentum because users invest time and effort into making use of it or building on it. these investments are nontrivial! the maintainers enjoy notoriety and potential financial benefits (sometimes massive) as a result of this notoriety.

so while yeah, entitled attitudes on oss issue trackers are pretty odious, so are illusions that all open source software is built upon a world of altruism. there's money involved, and sometimes quite a lot of it.

that said, we do need better funding models. one thing that open source does teach us is that some people do their best work outside of a classic corporate structure. some of that best work is literally the best work in software. the problem with funding is that it typically comes with hooks which then drive the projects towards what you see coming out of most corporate environments, so the challenge is to figure out how to fund open source software in a way that doesn't actually influence or drive its design.
That's the entire point though, miners are quitting mining.
This one is easy - Facebook recommends people based on geolocation. It's very common to get friend suggestions to people you've met, or just been in the same building with.
>Your comment completely lacks morals

Try not to regard things in such an all-or-nothing perspective. At worst it indicates a psychological disorder, at best—a high conflict personality. Either way, it wont benefit you or the people that interact with you.

I also disagree that it ‘completely’ lacks morals. If OP is being truthful, then he has a desire to work hard and put in the time necessary to fulfill a virtuous (albeit under-compensated) calling.

However, OP is also cognizant of a hypothetical (albeit realistic) temptation that will most likely confront him, should he carry out these pursuits: ethical conflicts which would force him to choose between large financial gains (selling exploits to bad actors), or the less lucrative (and often thankless) white hat approach of reporting it in good faith, and expecting (but not necessarily receiving) equal measures of good faith from corporations (like Sony in this case).

Having an awareness of one’s own weaknesses or susceptibilities to temptation isn’t a weakness to be admonished from atop a digital soap box. Instead, recognize and reinforce OPs desire to do good—it costs little more energy to encourage the good in people, rather than shaming them for not having an unshakable moral fortitude. Have a Happy Father’s Day.

Nobody ever seems to remember that the DOE also allocated gas to gas stations on a per-station basis. This was complete madness, as it did so based on the previous year's usage patterns. Of course, patterns never repeat themselves very accurately, and the result was gluts in Florida and shortages on the left coast.

A gas station had to apply to the DOE to get gas, and write a paper justifying this. I know this because a friend bought a gas station. He couldn't get a DOE allocation because the gas station across the street filed an objection with the DOE that no gas was needed for the new owner. So his gas station sat with no gas for 6 months or so.

That's Carter's energy policy. Well meaning, but completely wrong.

I think this needs a big qualifier. I feel the same way, when it's a project I'm capable of doing the work for. For example, I recently needed a way to deal with Stripe early fraud warnings and the library I used didn't have those yet, so I added them over a weekend[1].

However, there are tons of dependencies that we use for all sorts of things that are highly complex where very few people would be able to send a PR (openssl for example). Things in highly complex codebases, or deeply unfamiliar languages, etc. I maintain a forked linux driver for a wireless card for example, and I don't expect there's more than a handful of people that could hack on it without introducing tears and devastation.

For the projects I maintain, I would just say, "if you can, please consider a PR. If you're not sure it would be accepted I'm happy to be asked! If you can't send a PR, give as much info as you can and be polite. With that we're good.
