What are the benefits of a lunar calendar? And it's not like our 7-day week actually stays in sync with the moon, it's just approximately the same length.

I totally agree, I just don't have that kind of money right now, hence my question about reading proofs.
Simple hashed passwords and a few emails are not hard to make myself so I do that. Also makes it much easier to tie in roles which are much different for each project. It really isn't that hard to build a simple one yourself and gives you much more control and one less dependency on an outside service.
The movie-tie ins are the closest they get to "modern weaponry in LEGO" and it's not much (mainly Star Wars) - they intentionally made the muskets and such for Pirates pretty old looking.

They weren't averse to reusing pieces to make guns (the early Star Wars sets used megaphones for that) and they have revolvers, etc: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&catStrin... has all Minifig, Weapon that are made by LEGO.

The unexpected health impacts of wearable tech (2021)
Yes. If this wasn't state-driven, it'd be a somewhat-humorous prank. If it is state-driven, it becomes a situation straight from 1984, where the protagonist's job is quite literally to rewrite history.
It is your opinion that it's unethical to record people without informing them, and it's fine to take that position.

My position is that the act of recording someone without their knowledge is not inherently unethical, and that the reason for the recording and how you use it is what determines whether or not you are doing something unethical.

A major reason is that iron fertilization might simply be borrowing ecological production from the near future.

"Renting a boat" is also a bit of a simplification of what is required. The first time people tried iron fertilization they were unlucky and had a current suck the iron deep into the ocean right away and it had no effect. To do an ocean fertilization experiment you need a whole flotilla because you need to track where the iron goes.

The amount that it takes get effects you can notice is in the 10 ton - 100 ton range

Hi all, I work at Schluss, came across this topic and found it very informative. Thanks for all your comments and thoughts!

We share your distrust against anyone making big claims. We also have been disappointed more than once. So, we get where you come from. We believe in dialogue. Therefore, we take each and every one of you serious. With what we are trying to achieve we know we have a major challenge up ahead. We take it to the extreme: Schluss does not want to have any knowledge about its users and usage. The company at this moment is a foundation (no shares!) with the sole purpose to become a cooperative. This way every user is co-owner. On the technical side, the system must be decentralized and distributed and we want to stay away from vendor lock-ins. You as a user will own and control what is yours. No one will know of your existence or have access to your data unless you want so. This is complex and difficult to achieve because there is so much to take into account. And even though we're building a few years already, we know we're just getting started. Our software is, of course, open source and BSD licensed. See our repo's here: https://gitlab.com/schluss.
u/gsibble's story sounds familiar to me.
People aren't rational, nothing ever makes any sense.

I once build a budgeting and estimating tool (for architecture). Super simple, just worked. The PHBs brought in consultants to "solve the problem". Two years later, my tool was being used on the downlow, like some kind of contraband, because the replacement never worked.

Another time, another place, I was brought in to rescue a project. Four devs spent about a year on an enterprisey monstrosity. It wouldn't even compile. Once I understood the task, I banged out a tool, using node.js & AWS for the first time, in two weeks. Then another 2 weeks to get into production. Clients were ecstatic.

I have many more examples.

FWIW, I'm a very average programmer; I just try to solve the problem in front of me. But I like to think I'm really good at requirements, analysis, customer communications, etc.
Sounds like Clojure would alo have been a good fit (STM, persistent datastructures, functional)

IIRC the "dark green" and "brown" were more expensive to make accurately without color variation - bright green had been around for a long while.

No, I totally prefer Preview. (I worked on Preview for many years though.)

Besides the odd PDF that CoreGraphics/PDFKit can't handle, I like that Reader gives me "booklet printing" in page setup so that I can print 2-up with the correct page ordering to get a (5 ½ x 8 ½, U.S.) folded book in the end.

I like nothing else about Reader.

Same. For me, it’s the JavaScript development experience that really sets Jetbrains apart.

I’m sure other IDEs can offer parity with the compiled languages, but if I’m using an IDE in the first place, I’m probably working on a web app, and getting first class support for both the frontend and backend in the same window is huge for productivity.
I don't know enough of chip design to say more, I just know it's been done[1].

Hasura, a GraphQL server, uses exactly this technique to transform final query results into JSON in PG before bringing back into local memory.
When I rented, I was paying rent to some asshole who could refuse to renew the lease for any number of arbitrary reasons, and I was subject to annual rent increases whether I was getting pay raises or not.

When I bought, I started paying rent to a bank that didn't give a shit what I did in my own home as long as I made my payments on time. With a fixed-rate mortgage I need never worry about my monthly payments getting jacked up.
It is indeed interesting given how much is known in biochemistry how little of clinical value exists for Alzheimer's et al. As far as I can see, effectively nothing useful regarding treatment exists.

One interesting thing i've got from talking to specialists in the area and from some research is that a genetic inherited component is not particularly considered in a clinical setting.

My family on my maternal side has extremely reliably strong expression of Alzheimer's type disease (including visual hallucination etc) from age 70/71 to the point it hits like clockwork. My mother being of 10 brothers and sisters some who lived normally, some who lived "well" (i.e.) very good diets, no alcohol, lots of exercise and it hit them like clockwork as they aged no matter lifestyle choices.

Families like that are a good candidate for research

There are some efforts to identify the apparent significant minority of deterministic Alzheimer's [1] and to clinically trial things that e.g. asymptomatic amyloid beta build up prophylactic treatment.

But APP/PS/APOE genes were identified in the 1980s and 1990s and we don't seem any closer to clinical results. You go to a specialist in the NHS in the UK today and you will get a comforting grimace followed by a torturous inefficient bureaucracy through which you must prevail to get care services for the inevitable decline.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence and maybe we are just not looking carefully at it. Or maybe the damage was yet done.

In any case this is the old area of distribution of the American polecat. Is extinct from all the red area. If you look carefully you will spot three tiny blue dots. This is the area with actual wild populations of American polecat, in the entire planet.

LEGO didn't want to sell weapons used in existing conflicts because there may be kids there, too. So most things were historical or fictional (but kids don't care, they can do cops + robbers with anything).
I see a the risk of some very cynical younger people who will discover that (while the loving bonds of family are all very well) they can make money by seizing their parents assets. There are some real monsters out there, especially once there is money on the line. Family courts go through horror cases on a daily basis. That risk of elder abuse is worse than scammers and much more pressing.

In this story the person in question did have their transaction questioned. Having it delayed is meaningless, there is no reason to believe a delay would have made them change their mind. This is a question of whether it is their money, the banks money or someone else's money and the correct answer is it belongs to the gentleman who is getting scammed. People will suffer less on average if we let them spend their own money as a matter of policy.
Ferrets were domesticated to hunt rabbits. Literally bred and rewarded to kill prey, but otherwise leave intact for skinning and cooking, generation after generation.
Auth0. I've tried a bunch of third parties and I found Auth0 to have good documentation, a great free plan, good support, and a user experience that is quite good. Some of the Rules/Actions terminology is a bit confusing, but overall the management UI and APIs are quite good.

In addition, they have easy means of customizing the User object, querying external data sources, etc. Highly recommend.

Books too, I'll read an entire book and really struggle to recall more than a few details that stuck out the most. In general, I know that my memory could be a lot better than it is. Sleep is fine, exercise is decent, and diet... well that could be improved. Thanks for the response!

template = f_in.read()
template = template.replace('%PLACEHOLDER%', data)
fname = f'rendered-{dt.now().isoformat()}'
with open(fname, 'wt') as f_out:

fileout = 'outdir'

From a user perspective, how does everyone here feel about magic links vs email and password?

Personally, I am torn.

As a developer, magic links are awesome. You put a new project online, and everyone on planet earth already is a user. Well everyone who has an email.

But from a user perspective, it is more cumbersome. For one because the switch between email and website. And because the typical magic link implementation invalidates the link after one use. So if I don't keep the cookie, I have to do the "enter email, receive email, click link" dance again. Entering my email and a password is faster.

It does turn to acid rain.

Back in the 1970s and 1980s the effect of global warming was attenuated by SO2 emissions in the troposphere, one of the many reason deniers were able to deny as long as they did.

SO2 particles last a few days in the troposphere but last a few years in the stratosphere. So the cooling effect you get is hundreds or thousands of times more per unit mass so the amount of acid rain you get for the amount of cooling you get is much more favorable than in the bad old days.
Very many human endeavors and technology were accelerated/funded by war (including cold wars). Some very recent examples:

- satellites and space travel

- the internet

- GPS

I'm sure we can add many more things to this list. (Please do in reply.)

I don't think it's a contradiction to acknowledge this and at the same time be anti-war, just as it isn't a contradiction to acknowledge greed and selfishness as a strongly motivating factor in human nature (such acknowledgment is the very basis of capitalism) and at the same time advocate for human society to find a way to transcend our base natures and evolve a society and economic system not built on them.

Transcending our base nature is the whole point of culture.
Whoa, I am out of the loop/information.

> By 1990 the [out-of-wedlock birth] rates were 64 percent for Black infants, 18 percent for whites.

WOW, so in 1990, 64% and nearly 20% of births of those groups were (ok, we are grouping here and it might not be totally true) fatherless?

I mean, I have a relative with a out-of-wedlock birth, but dad is being a dad and they just do not want to get married right now. I wonder if those stats from way back took those cases into account? Still, those numbers seem pretty high. Am I out of touch?
The LEGO shooting cannon came out, and then went away for a number of years, and then came back - I guess whatever "safety" reason they took it away for was decided not as important later.

I remember as a kid finding one of the then-old "shooty" cannons and it was the most prized one I had.
I always said I would miss keynote the most when dropping Mac. I still miss a bit of the ease which with you could create beautiful slides given a decent master.

Not sure why, this was and probably still is a bit better on Mac. But other than that I miss nothing using PowerPoint on Windows nowadays.
The Amiga 500 blitter was nothing to write home about, in my experience. Slow.

But, moving 16bit words was a huge improvement compared to the C64 for obvious reasons.

The one thing the C64 missed was full screen hardware scrolling. I don’t mean the pixel shifting.

I’m aware there’s a clever hack to get full screen scrolling - even at Sonic the Hedgehog rates.

> I find it really concerning if this is actually true. How can you be an archaeologist and not think war has been a major part of human history?

My understanding is that clear evidence of conquest and genocide, like artifacts associated with a culture ceasing to be made while all new artifacts of a different culture begin to be made, is habitually explained away as mere cultural exchange. The hypothesis is that the resident population wasn't wiped out, it just wholesale adopted a different culture.

Another issue is that archeologically speaking it's pretty hard to tell war from migration. That's one of those clear scientific results that researchers prefer not to talk too much about on account of the political elite's position on migration.
High or low? 0.4% caused by an incremental change in climate sounds like a pretty reasonable effect size, to me.
On the contrary, ferrets are generally kept in cages, whereas dogs and cats conventionally have free roam of the house. Ferrets out of their cage should be monitored, especially in the presence of infants who don't know how to interact with the animals yet.

We had some concerns about our dog around a newborn child, we had to be super careful while the dog adjusted to the baby being in the house, because she showed a decent amount of jealousy for the attention the baby was getting.

I wouldn't consider allowing a ferret free roam of your infant's room to be normal ferret or infant care, it'd be irresponsible in terms of both.
> Would you invest or use AI produced content, that promises SEO benefits and visibility?

I would, but SEO isn't an important motivation.

> Have you used it

I have not

> We hear a lot from successful content writers, influencers, industry experts and leadership that authentic and genuine content is better as it connects with your TAM

The point being "content". I don't think we're quite there yet where AI can write product test reports (it can generate natural looking text from data tables), comment on politics (other than summarizing publications) or synthesize engaging music (they're pretty good at synthpop and jazz as long as you don't listen too closely).

Something that expands keywords and screen shots into bug descriptions and user manuals. EDIT you meant "examples of software like the one you are talking about"? Sorry, no idea.

We really need to stop saying people die of old age. Old age is not a disease, even though aging is a degenerative disease that affects a lot of species and leads to a 100% fatality rate from other conditions.
I remember, in School, our professor asked us to write "cal" command in C in early CS classes. I was a good exercise for us to build interest in programming.
Jet streams, elevation, vegetation, and topography are other large factors. Just take a look at the climates of American and European cities at similar latitudes.
You can walk across it. Took me way too long to do so. Even up close it’s an aesthetic and engineering treat.
Well I see the potential for abuse. There are already blogs using some tool to automatically churn out content, it’s just the tools are private and consumers think it was hand crafted by talented writers, when it uses AI.

Personally I prefer human written content since it’s less spammy and often has nuances in it that machines can’t simulate, no matter how well they are programmed.

The more I use a tool the more I become aware of its warts and the more they start to irritate me. Lots of things which I used to sing the praises of have lost their magic to me. Vim, i3, linux distributions (arch and later slackware), the unix shell in general, various browsers, weechat/irc, android apps such as Transportr and Episodes (both in fdroid), programming languages (python and C), hell even websites and communities (such as this one), and many more things are tools that at one point I would've raved about, and while I still like them, their various sets of unfixable flaws keep me from fully enjoying them and recommending them whenever the topic comes up.

I assume this is the way everything eventually goes. Currently I'm over the moon with Lua (pun intended), as I think it's a very neat little language housing a ton of power and expressiveness in an impressively tight package. I haven't been able to use it since I last tried Löve2d over 6 years ago, as I have actively been trying to but haven't gotten a chance to properly use it again, so I'm sure I'll get over it eventually.

This sounds like a stereotype, but I use Beamer whenever I can.

Otherwise: I don't use Emacs (I actually do Beamer in Overleaf, the easy-o online latex editor), can write regexes but don't have a clue of what awk does, use Notion and the Google calendar thing instead of text tools and write my todo.txt in pen in my wrist (or did when I worked in an office and could conceal it with business button-down shirts).

But Beamer, oh la la.
