In NZ the ferrets tend to specialise in rabbits, the stoats and weasels go for rats, mice, and birds.

Although I did once see two stoats coursing a brushtail possum to death, it was nasty AF.

But yeah, apparently stoats and weasels can't be domesticated like ferrets.
> Which smartphones block call recording?

iOS?

I'm not sure of the current state of Android but back in the early days this feature also wasn't there (there were tons of apps that claim to do it but they all exploited some device-specific quirk and wouldn't work universally) despite the hardware being capable of doing this from day 1.

The reason call recording is shunned is that tons of scummy companies would suddenly end up in trouble if call recording becomes widespread and accessible to anyone.
Any people wanting to learn the language using these resources (e.g. learning more Scots from the Scots wikipedia) would mean that they learn the altered/false/different language instead of the actual language, and afterward that changes how the actual language is used in practice, propagating the misconceptions onwards and degrading the language.

In a similar way, if some people online are using they/their/they're interchangeably, and then other people (who are learning the language) learn that they are interchangeable and start using them this way, then English gets hurt by being altered in this undesired way.

Some changes to language are considered desirable (e.g. introduction of new terminology for new concepts, or restructuring either as a natural process or top-down reforms that makes it more clear and thus more useful for communication) and some are not (ones that increase confusion such as the they/their/they're example above), and the latter ones are considered to hurt the language.

Interesting but I don’t think that cloning the trees is the solution, we have to simply avoid the global warming, not interfere with nature. Cloning will avoid the “natural selection“ in the future.
It’s not nearly that complicated unless you just outright have no idea how many days are in a given month. Not sure how many adults don’t know that answer, but if you struggle to remember whether June has 30 or 31 days perhaps this calendar isn’t for you.

It’s not for me either as I see no value in a physical calendar, but I’d imagine the people who do see that value are the same type of people who are aware that June has … let me just pull out my phone real quick… 30 days.

> due to the spottiness of existing bike infrastructure and overall lack of protected bike lanes
> But no - the second anyone mentions protected bike lanes, a handful of NIMBYs write in with "but muh cars"

That's your problem right here. Adding 1 mile of bike lane is counterproductive. It does not really help biking and at the same time it potentially hurts other modes of transportation. You need commute network.

What you need is a robust, modeled plan for end result and transitionary period. Building a 1 mile stretch of bike lane and building 100 miles of bike lanes in 1 mile increments are entirely different things. One is more subject to both populism by politicians and opposition from society.
Cool video. I wish they would have used an electric car for the camera man. As it is, the car's engine noise tremendously distracts from the grace of the ornithopter.

To fly like a bird, you probably need more motion control over the wings than just "up and down". I believe birds can angle their wings, they can curve them, and they can sense differences in air speed and air pressure across the wing's surface. That's why it seems to me that any form of artificial muscle would be a huge step.
> so long as it's URI resolvable by http

It doesn’t have to be. URI is a pretty broad concept and URLs are just a subset. It’s perfectly fine to identify an entity with other URIs that are not URLs. If for instance you’re talking about a book then you could use the ISBN for instance “ urn:isbn:0-486-27557-4”

The usefulness of using resolvable URL’s as URIs is just that if you have absolutely no knowledge about the resource except it’s URI, and that URI happens to be a resolvable URL, then at least you know where to go looking to find out more.
I honestly don’t think that’s relevant.

A whiteboard interview tests your ability to do something you do constantly while writing code: you look at the code you wrote and run it in your head with enough fidelity that you can verify it to a first approximation. If you can’t do that, you’re going to be slower and you’re going to make more mistakes than someone who can.

Small contrived problems like recursion are useful for testing this specific skill. A program to calculate e.g. Fibonacci using recursion isn’t that complicated; to me it seems like table stakes for actually writing new software.
Airbnb to make global party ban permanent
There is an old trick that you can do with your knuckles: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9b/Mo...
Same here. My ability to think clearly drastically declines at around 24-25 degrees, to becoming virtually zero in around 29-30 degrees.

Assuming brain is an organ that consumes so much energy, maybe it's about that. Even if it's not that I'm sure that there's a correlation.
Sleep and exercise are big, as mentioned.

There are also various memory tricks. For instance, the people who memorize decks of cards assign each number/suit to something, then develop a scene in their head that goes with the cards. So maybe they see a red banana flying over a purple rainbow, and that would mean the 4 of spades comes after the 6 of hearts... or whatever it may be.

Another thing is changing up locations. Make your locations interesting and novel and you'll be able to recall stuff you learned in various locations. I remember once I listened to an audiobook while on a long walk. When I tried to recall things, I would remember where I was on the walk, and that would remind me what the content was I was trying to remember. It was wild. I find physical books help for that as well. They give context of where you are in the book instead of just a percentage.

Spaced repetition is another thing. Going over the stuff over and over again, over a period of time (days, weeks) helps to lock it in.
That’s my exact take on it, too.

The style would have been palatable if they had actually done their research.
My younger brother had a pet ferret growing up. It wasn't that big. But it had no fear. Our large dog (rhodesian ridgeback X black lab cross) was scared of it. They'd "play" but the dog always backed off.

They only have two modes: sleep and play/hunt. Ours learned to play with us without puncturing our skin, but its play still involving biting and tugging incessantly.

Once a squirrel had gotten into a wall cavity. The ferret knew and paced outside of the wall for days, every waking hour, just obsessed.

It smelled pretty bad. The scent gland had been removed but it still had a musky odor that got through the whole house.

One day it escaped the confines of the house and got over to one of the neighbours. It got into their garage and killed an entire litter of little kittens.

We think an owl caught it not long after.

Their status as pets is a bit dubious IMHO. They'd also be a real problem anywhere near where people keep poultry or rabbits. They're notorious serial killers. Weasels get into chicken coops and slaughter whole flocks seemingly for fun, killing like crazy but actually eating very little.

Yup. Though the UI is pretty customizable.

My initial (and even now) aim with GitJournal was to satisfy 2 of my needs - A good journalling app where I have control of my data. I used to use Journey [0], but they kept adding more and more cruft, and having to export my data + relying on Google wasn't something I liked. The other is Google Keep. I still have a long way to go to get their level of usability though. Things just feel so much nicer in Google Keep.

Now, since I've been using Obsidian more, I'm starting to incorporate more features from it. So UI is a mix of all 3.

Water and food scarcity in the Middle East, as a consequence of the changing climate and its reliance on the global food supply chain (wheat imports), is IMO one of the most important contributors of political uproar that lead to the Arab Spring, particularly in Egypt.

Very true. But imagine you could strap on such the wings of a glider along with artificial muscles that map to, say, your arms and hands. You could take off and fly and land like a bird. No need for a cliff or runway or anything. You'd also be as silent as an eagle circling above the tree tops.
> Relationship troubles? You might think the problem is that you married the wrong person, or that you need to work on yourself, and these might of course be true. But also, it's worse than you think – because two humans living and growing together is just inevitably a matter of having one's buttons pushed and one's old psychological issues triggered.

There was a point in my marriage, about four years (and one child) into it, when I convinced myself that I had married the wrong person and needed out. My feeble attempt to tell this to my wife was the most gut-wrenchingly painful experience of my life. Next year we will be celebrating ten years of marriage.

It was worse than I thought: not only was I married to the wrong person, but attempting to leave would saddle me with a lifetime of guilt and regret for choosing to break up a not-unhappy home. My wife may be a poor match for me, but I’m the one who offered her the ring.

Of course, the realization that a problem is unsolvable never ceases to be traumatic. But as the author quotes Bruce Tift, it’s reassuring to know that with time one can redefine the problem out of existence and move on with living.
Yes, there is evidence that is the case[0]. Part of the abstract:

"We provide the first evidence that cumulative heat exposure inhibits cognitive skill development and that school air conditioning can mitigate this effect. Student fixed effects models using 10 million PSAT-takers show that hotter school days in the year prior to the test reduce learning, with extreme heat being particularly damaging and larger effects for low income and minority students. (...) Without air conditioning, each 1°F increase in school year temperature reduces the amount learned that year by one percent. "

I guess it’s impressive because I can relate to the time it takes to run 100m.

When the airplane flies 580 days where it previously flew 570, I do not assume the 10 extra days are due to some marginal improvement, just to the fact they kept the mission going longer. The 5th airplane could presumably have made it to 580 days too if the mission team had wanted that.

Bolt is amazing because he does something every time that you are certain he couldn’t do before (unless he was deliberately slowing down, which doesn’t seem like a winning strategy).
If instead of flying somewhere I traveled there by foot, I would surely use a lot of energy as well. Not just food and breathing, but also cooking, heating of the BnB I am staying in.

Surely you could say that this would be much less than a typing continental flight on a jet (you are probably right) and at that point the human CO2 can be considered a 0. But what exactly is that 0?

If you assume human produces exactly 0 CO2 all relative comparisons become basically infinities. It's infinitely better to walk than to cycle, it's infinitely better to walk than to fly, etc. But it's not really true. It may be several orders of magnitude better, even - but how many exactly?

I literally never saw this in the research in regards to CO2 produced.
Yet still nothing significant has been done to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, it's only become worse. It's laughable at this point.

Transaction Anomalies with Select for Update
true.. adequate programmers code exactly what you tell them to..and even then it may not be great. Great engineers step back and ask 'why are you asking me to do this?'..(probably silently).. which inevitably leads to a more refined solution, or none at all when they realize you don't actually understand the actual problem, more likely just a symptom of it. Nobody remembers what didn't happen and they certainly don't pay you more for that.

This is usually a function of experience, but not necessarily. Productive developers are constantly mapping each development requirement into a larger context of the 'system processes' at large, cross-referencing their (usually deeper) understanding of the technical, business, and political issues involved (all involving some acquisition or expenditure of 'energy' in the general sense). Their productivity is more a function of their understanding of economics writ large, than their recall of algorithms or specific toolsets. It's the main reason senior development is so difficult to hire for..
> Some changes to language are considered desirable (e.g. introduction of new terminology for new concepts, or restructuring either as a natural process

The problem is that what you describe in your first paragraph:

> Any people wanting to learn the language using these resources (e.g. learning more Scots from the Scots wikipedia) would mean that they learn the altered/false/different language instead of the actual language, and afterward that changes how the actual language is used in practice

is just a description of how languages change as a natural process. It's not different in any way. Concluding that in this case it is "damage" and "bad" would require you to conclude that all natural language change is also "damage" and "bad", which is admittedly a popular viewpoint. But it's one you're trying to disavow.

The thing is, it's not a binary. There's a lot of possible mitigation. Noise-absorbing panels can perhaps be placed around where the jackhammers work; or around the first row of residential buildings in the vicinity. Neighbor windows can be replaced with double-glazed ones, reducing noise. Of course this costs money, but it might make the difference.

Another option is offering people to move away temporarily with the rentals being part of the project costs.

Of course this all costs money; but there's a multi-parameter tradeoff, it's rarely just "do it" or "don't do it".

And many people sweating blood and tears to save endemic fishes like the Bonytail, the razorback sucker, the Colorado Pikeminnow, the four Ambystoma species of tiger salamanders, the California Red-legged frog, the Giant and San Francisco Gartersnakes, the California Ridgway's rail. Without talking of the endangered freshwater clams, snails and crustaceans of California.

This man is not a hero. Feral ferrets would treat tens of species of endangered animals of California. They even maybe could block an hypothetical future reintroduction of the American polecat (unlikely, as is a pairie dog specialized hunter from Central US, but not impossible as is one of the most endangered mammals of US).

Annoyingly, the wikipedia article was wrong, and mistakenly gave the figures for Quetzalcoatlus in that paragraph. Pteranodon weighed more like 20-30kg (I've edited it).

The constraint on the size of flying animals is launch, not flight. Pterosaurs could get bigger than birds because they used quadrupedal launch, meaning they could use their flight muscles during the initial leap.
