There are some questionable ones in between there.

> Obey in all things the commands of those whom God has placed in authority over you even though they (which God forbid) should act otherwise, mindful of the Lord's precept, "Do what they say, but not what they do."

This would have you willingly submit to sexual assault by a priest. And really should be revised considering the slew of cases against the church, or at least be revised with some sort of exception not just to “not do as they do, do as they say”, but to not obey them when they commit such acts.

And yes, I understand that this is in no way forced upon anyone and is just a “I believe” statement, but still I would argue that the suggestion that those who live by these rules live happier lives is countered by every choirboy who submitted and obeyed a person god had place in authority over them, and got assaulted as a result.
Plenty of those rules I would agree, though it seems every mention of the institution which is “god” is irrelevant, redundant, harmful or downright sinister.
I think it right to cut down the list a slight bit.
Note the phrasing of "actual tunnel", which is meant to agree with this in the comment chain

> The article is actually about underpasses, which are not "tunnels" but rather a bridge (or overpass) built on the "other" road.
This has always been a problem with MacBooks for as long as I remember, with different technologies, screens, adapters/hubs, and MacBook revisions.

I just came to terms with having to re-plug the cables once in a while or whatever seems to be the workaround for the current technology's woes.
It's actually the inverse of what you believe.

Conservatives will help externally, very generously when conditions permit. Progressives will demand their in group be helped, to other progressives (within the in group) this looks like caring action is taking place but the shortsighted view of the situation does not see who is being helped.

Take your city example, the city will demand food while simultaneously mocking the farmer, and taxing the farmer more if he exhibits success. The farmer knows he must produce as others depend on him.

You are likely letting America's strange healthcare situation cloud your view. That situation is fucking bizarre. Everyone should have access to publicly funded emergency health care, like we do in NZ (but do not make the mistake of thinking that it is a fantastic situation here either, private health insurance has become more normal unfortunately (i.e. our idiot government is making it more like the US for healthcare)).
None of those are future in a planning sense. They are immediate goals with immediate impacts. Getting exercise regularly pays off almost immediately and continues to pay of day to day. Finishing a project today has the immediate reward of finishing it and not having to worry about it anymore. The example was your 10 year from now self. And while you might come up with some 10-year span anecdotes, I don't see it being a good heuristic for living your life in general.
> Sweden is even more of an outlier, fully three times more (per capita) Swedes are dead from covid than Norwegians.

I double checked your numbers and indeed I got that we had 3.09x deaths per capita compared to Norway. Also, we did have partial lockdown and many voluntary measures that were followed. Bars we closed down, restaurants were pretty restricted, there were measures on public transportation, many people used masks, very many people worked from home and there was mass testing and stay-at-home orders and such. So, I'm saying, it could have been even worse.

> But context is king. The context of that particular quote, is that it came immediately after this

Yes, the context was a switch from first person to second person. The most reasonable and likely interpretation is not that it was an accident, but that the second person was intended to convey a statement about what people in general should do. E.I: "If one can't stand by a position maybe one shouldn't air it."

It is true that there is a trade off between anonymity and culpability, but that doesn't mean we don't need both. To my mind, we need anonymity to protect smaller scale participants and accountability for larger scale participants to limit abuse of power. I don't know how you achieve that in practice.
>Provide water and shelter, and they will come

I find this hard to believe. There has to be a lot more to attracting the pigeons?

Reminds me of a recent trend, at least in Sweden - Bee hotels. Small bird house like things that are said to attract bees. Everyone started selling them for a while. I bought a few of them to friends. But I don't think they got used.

Putting up a structure and expecting it to just work seems a bit optimistic. Is there more to the secret sauce?
I just quit a job partly because we lost our key DevOps guy and no serious effort was made to replace them. As a result I ended up wasting huge amounts of my time dealing with operations-level stuff that made it impossible to focus on the key parts of my role (feature development etc.). I subsequently turned down a job offer from elsewhere that explained their policy was not to have dedicated DevOps resources for their SaaS platform (devs themselves being responsible for all deployment and system maintenance), and would do so again. Good DevOps people are worth their weight in gold, and at least in many verticals (e.g. those involving payments ) it's virtually mandated that there is a separation of responsibilities between those writing the code and those responsible for delivering the product to customers. I can't see the need for dedicated DevOps resources going away any time soon.
Damn. RIP Terry, true legend
“Useful” PoW never really took off (primecoin and riecoin were prime number discovery POW functions that did not sustain long term value).

it’s possible that general purpose and usable proof of work system might exist but I dont think we have found it.

I have always said knowledge of the silicon capability of SHA256 and the integrity of ECDSA is itself of immense value.
I can't help but notice the contrast with the popular, Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct, which makes it abundantly clear its aim to enforce a set of beliefs on its contributors, with no boundaries between professional and personal life.
> You need deep understanding of the compiler to know what constructs will mess up performance. Especially how typeinfo is propagated.

Could you expand on this? It's not clear whether you're just talking about issues that would trip up beginner who hasn't read the relevant sections in the manual yet.
Agreed, I think your points get at the right point. I would go further and say - we consider meaningful "intelligence" as having to do with "consciousness", and its absense causes the disconnect between Wolfram's definition and our intuition about human intelligence.

Defining consciousness is its own challenge, but one definition that I like (as a layperson) is that it consists of an approximate model of our self, that emerged as the brain recursively modeled itself while attempting to model other's behaviours, a critical trait once group co-operation and adversity became key to our survival.

This seems correct to me, a hurricane exhibits computational complexity, but it does not have a sense of self, and does not use that sense of self to make decisions.

Of course, that sense of self can also be broken down into manual computation, it's just a very complicated computation. For example, a bayesian interpretation of that "approximate model of our self" might define it as a generative model or joint distribution of actions and states, embedded within a markov decision process (MDP). Modeling, or speculating about your self would therefore consist of sequentially sampling from the joint distribution over several timesteps of the MDP.
Thank you sharing that. It was lovely to read especially the part where you thank yourself, bought a smile to my face :)

It's a great way to think about it.
CloudNativePG Maintainer and VP of CloudNative at EDB here.

We decided to go even further with the CloudNativePG operator.

EDB as original creator has decided to donate the intellectual property of the source code to the community, open sourced the existing operator under Apache License 2.0 to apply for the CNCF Sandbox. The project not only includes the operator, but also the PostgreSQL operand images - which can be customized (we provide details on how images should be).

We genuinely welcome other vendors to participate in the community and contribute to the project, including by offering professional services around it. Our multi-year commitment is to become a graduated CNCF project.

Honestly, use Calibre and DeDRM. The Calibre has pretty nice epub/mobi/azw3 reading software as well as the best library management.

Or just get an actual Kindle.
It seems silly to me to regret the past, as it cannot be changed. It can be used to inform decisions you make today or in the future, but regretting it is pointless.
When viewing this through the lens of "God is a proxy symbol for the first order derivative of your society" these rules make a lot of sense.

If you re-read this with that interpretation, it's pretty amazing stuff.
any system of ethics ultimately must rest on axioms held on faith, there is nothing special about that faith being explicitly religious
Why do you need to be future-proof? Optimizing for that outcome means giving up other significant qualities in your tools. Avoiding change is how you end up a fossil who can't adapt.
I completely disagree, zoning is a negative in every sense, and the world would be a better place without it.
Notice how this news tends to come out just after major Russian advances (Severodonetsk).
1) You’ll die anyway. So what does “make use of your time” even mean?

2) There’s an augment to made that anything you do or think is predetermined anyway, by past, biology and circumstances. Or, if you prefer, that it’s all based on a fundamental randomness. Either way, that you are more a symptom of the universe than an independent agent. In that sense, Nietzsche’s thought experiment might actually be closer to reality than we think.

3) How can you possibly know that your life right now is not actually just such a recurrence? The fact that you don’t know that it is one would be, of course, part of the script. (Knowing that it is a recurrence would be changing something. And that nothing will be changed is part of the premise.)
I don't think you're claim is extraordinarily, either. I just thought it was online with some of the ideas in Sapir Whorf that have been criticized lately. I am not scanning too deep, but I can't find evidence of what I was talking about. Such that I think it is safe to say I was just wrong.

At any rate, I sincerely meant that I agree this is neat topic. I just wanted to put in my scepticism that this attitude was fully an American thing.

Does it have to be DisplayPort? I always just use HDMI and I've never had a real issue (the monitor might not turn on until I get past the login screen or something, but things always shake out by the point where it matters). I've used 2014 and 2019 MBPs (the latter with a dongle)

I don't know for sure (or why) it would be the port, just offering a data point. I'm currently on a 1080p Dell monitor but I've had the same experience with 4k LG monitors and with at least one other monitor whose brand I can't remember (and even with a couple of TVs, and at least one projector)
Good question. You inspired me to see what I could find. The instructor was still associated with the college as of 2015, but he may have retired now. Google shows nothing associating him with 6502. I expect that the course curriculum has changed in the last 43+ years.

A little cyber stalking shows that he sold his house in 2017: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inCBLQJja2U

While thinking about him and the course, I remembered my final exam in that class, which I nearly failed. I had mastered the material maybe a little too well. The assignment was to program our KIM-1 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KIM-1) to drive a speaker with a 1KHz square wave on a PIO port (bit 0) when a switch was closed between ground and the same PIO bit 1. So obviously you had to set up the data direction register of the PIO with bit 0 as output and bit 1 as input, and have a loop that would toggle the bit 0 output every 500us if the PIO bit 1 input was at logic-0. Even back then, I liked to optimize my code, and the instructor did not give us detailed requirements about the state of PIO output bit 0 when PIO input bit 1 was logic-1, other than to say that the tone would not be present. So instead of reading PIO bit 1 in the loop and performing a compare to branch one way or the other, I simply inverted PIO input bit 1 and stored it into the data direction register for PIO bit 0 on every loop iteration. Thus the tone would be present when bit 1 was at ground, but not present otherwise (because bit 0 had been defined as an input rather than a output, and was in a high impedance state). The instructor looked at my code and gave me a "F". I had to confront him after the class and he grudgingly changed my final grade to a "C".
Holley Carburetor Operating Principles
I'm not seeing the quantum aspect of this story other than in the company's name.

> In this case, they arranged the carbon atoms into the shape of the organic compound polyacetylene, which is made up of a repeating chain of carbon and hydrogen atoms with an alternating pattern of single and double carbon bonds between them. To simulate those bonds, the team placed the carbon atoms at different distances apart.

> Next, the researchers ran an electrical current through the circuit to check whether it would match the signature of a natural polyacetylene molecule – and sure enough, it did. In other tests, the team created two different versions of the chain by cutting bonds at different places, and the resulting currents matched theoretical predictions perfectly.

Can someone explain how constructing/simulating a molecule and running the expected current through it is a quantum computer breakthrough? Where do the cubits/etc go?
One clarification about CloudNativePG. It is not EDB's anymore (or EnterpriseDB if you prefer).

EDB is the original creator. The software is now entirely owned by a vendor neutral community, openly governed. We have applied for the CNCF sandbox and waiting for the approval at this stage.
Author talks of text as abstraction compared to "edited" version of reality of visual media. But videos, movies, TV shows are also abstractions, possibly worse in that they more easily trick our subconscious into perceiving them as more real than words on a page while still being constructions of a "reality" based on the creator's point of view. So people think they have an understanding of the world based on fictionalized entertainment and tropes they've experienced thousands of times from screens.

Think of any time someone makes a political argument, or comments on a particular aspect of human nature by referencing something they saw in a movie. I think this is odd, at least if over done, as if the constructed media representation is somehow evidence of anything true. As if people don't have to have real lived experience of some phenomena as long as they watched something about it in a show or whatever.

Reminds me of Baudrillard's "hyperreality" [0] concept, where constructed media becomes "more real than real", here's an excellent presentation summarizing the idea [1]

Rumpelstiltskin certainly thought his name was private information.

There's actually quite a bit of folklore suggesting that knowing a person's (or creature's) name gifts you with a kind of power over them.

And like most folklore, there's a grain of truth to that. It's a lot harder to gossip about someone in a way where they'd gain a reputation if you don't know their name.

People who do shady things don't come up with aliases because it's fun. In the same way, I doubt as many people would donate large sums of money to hospitals, universities, and other institutions if they didn't get buildings named after them in return.
In my experience, I was able to fairly accurately glean a lot about the culture of a dive shop by the reviews it got.

I think that people often just go with the cheapest option without doing the additional research.
I dunno about monastic programming getting a lot of takers. Don't forget that there's usually a vow of poverty involved; fully loaded Macbook Pros or decked out 16 core Threadripper workstations are not part of the picture.
Every time you come home and the SQLite developers aren't having sex with your wife, you should appreciate their code of Ethics. What other software makes that promise? Heck, Oracle probably probably upcharges, $500,000 or more for a 6-9s no adultery support plan (and that still gives them 52 minutes a year to commit adultery with your wife!)
>There's no reason you can't spend some money for experiences in your 20s and also save a good deal for compounding interest in the future.

Well in my scenario (and that of most of my peers/siblings) income is low and cost of living is a large % - you don't have a lot of discretionary funds to manage so it usually is one or the other.
Somewhat ironic given I suspect Postman would disagree with the majority of this article. This article asserts that the amount of engagement with the written word has gone up dramatically; "Amusing Ourselves To Death" has an entire chapter dedicated to demonstrating how much more early Americans engaged with written work. Consumption of books per capita was far higher in the 18th century than it is today, the literacy rate for men in some of the colonies was ~92% (and for women 62%), the number of people who read Common Sense on a per head basis is roughly equivalent to the number of people who watch the Super Bowl today, etc.

The argument in "Amusing Ourselves to Death" is not that the written word enhances reality, it is that it engages critical faculties by forcing the reader to contend with the argument advanced by an author. This article suggests that the written word is a crutch for thought, and thereby diminishes our ability to get at reality. These ideas are not exactly opposed, but there is a certain discordance.
Not when that excess income goes directly into the kids mouths.

I haven't run into the visual issues you mention but I've definitely run into a lot of problems regarding failure to wake.

Currently using: 2 Gigabyte M28Us (scaled to 1440p) and 1 Dell S2716DGR, all running at 144hz on various different Macs. One of the M28us is passing through the mouse, keyboard, and webcam.

I don't have any issues with the 2017 era MacBook Pro using random display port to USB-C cables I bought off amazon.

I did have a bunch of issues with the M1 Pro MacBook. I used it exclusively in clamshell mode and 90% of the time it failed to wake up and detect the monitors in general. To get it working, I had to continuously unplug and plug the cables back in. Sometimes this worked on the first try, other times it took 10 minutes of messing with the cables. I upgraded to using certified Thunderbolt 4 cables on the M28Us but that didn't fix the problem.

Currently I'm running a baseline Mac Studio. The biggest issue I have is that the display order changes most of the time when I wake the computer. Every now and then it seems to not pick up one of my displays and I have to unplug it and plug it back in. It's a little bit annoying but definitely not as frustrating at the M1 Pro MacBook.
The only real answer is that teenagers have no place on the public Internet, let alone a forum dedicated to them
> I’ve always found it weird that if you make a short word for “String” and use a lower-case letter then it becomes the borrowed version.

The reason for this is that String is a standard library type, but str is a primitive type in the language. So they follow those respective conventions.
Before it got weird, you could look and see all the music a given person was sharing.... and that's how I found some amazing stuff I'd never heard on the mainstream radio stations.

I figured it was the right thing to do to actually buy the music, so I was doing that. Somewhere I've got a few hundred CDs on spindles that I bought retail at full price.

Use of the present tense in the title "Is this a bear market?" is misleading. Just because stocks have fallen 20% does not mean they will continue falling, and making a new high does not mean they will continue rising. The financial press has stories about whether we are currently in a bear market based on the 20% rule, and I don't think the stories are helpful.
I think when life begins is a how many angels can dance on the head of a pin question.

The fundamental truth is pregnancies often have bad outcomes. That runs head first in to conservative beliefs about chastity, tendency to frame everything as a moral issue, and to punch down when assigning blame. The result of conservatives banning maternal care for women is going have really bad consequences because their ideology doesn't match hard reality.
