Conception is when the genetic material from the father merges with the genetic material with the mother to create a new complete set of genetic material in a cell. Sperm and egg only contain half the genetic material, subsets from the father and mother respectively. As I originally asked, if there's a more logical, rational place for the origin of the human being (or life in general) let me know!

>Decisions made by the Supreme Court are law regardless of whether you like them or not, specifically case law.

This is a fair point. I don't want to equivocate on the word 'law'. I was referring to law as codified by elected legislature but you're right that 'common law' is also law in a different sense :)

>The constitution does not guarantee the right to assault rifles specifically, are you ok with leaving that decision up to the states?

I guess? If we throw out the constitution we'd better have a replacement system with an equal force behind it. Otherwise history can dictate what happens next when a power vacuum forms in a pluralistic society: authoritarianism.

Free will is kind of a paradox. If you design a game, you also design the space of possible games that can be played (the game tree). You can also determine a function on the space of these games to label some as 'good' and others as 'evil'. When you create players of the game and they choose to go down an 'evil' tree was that your fault? I think this is where the paradox comes in. You can make fancy arguments about entropy all you want but for a Christian we believe the players in the game have real agency of choice.

Christians aren't the only ones who believe in agency - justice (retributive justice specifically) requires agency, otherwise it makes no sense to penalize someone for wrongdoing as it was their environment that caused their behavior _always_ rather than their own conscious choice. If you want to live in a society with no retributive justice that's a fair and even perhaps logically consistent viewpoint but it isn't one that Christians share. Our worldview holds that the economy of justice is fundamentally retributive justice because we have real agency of choice.
The one downside is the storage though...

Cloud gaming is fixing that. Being able to test a game within 30 seconds without having to delete a bunch of old games to make space and wait for 50+GB to download is fantastic. If I end up really liking after playing it for a while, then I'll download it.

Are you a mathematician?

I am only asking because I understand that most of the higher mathematics pages on Wikipedia are written by actual mathematicians – and pretty much unreadable to anyone who is not a mathematician and already fully conversant with the topics concerned.
A little bit of both. Portables have been the most popular systems in Japan for a while, and Nintendo's current position of shipping a portable and a dock that makes it a home console fits very well into that market. Sony has been publishing fewer games that aim directly at the Japanese market, which tends to look for different styles of games than the rest of the world.

Microsoft, on the other hand, has been actively seeking those games and making them available via Game Pass and their cloud streaming platform, which what may be driving those unit sales.

when was the last time you had to fight with someone using just words and how do you think would that interaction have been if you and your counterpart had not used words but teeth, fists and fingernails instead?

assuming you had the same standing to each other prior to the fight, would you two be able to interact the same afterwards, regardless who won?

it doesnt make more room, but it allows for compromises
Reading the article, the alternatives were

- Apple (no offer finalized)

- Ansa (to merge for an IPO in the fall, to be done by Alex. Brown at a $75 million value)

- a “firm” offer from Borland to acquire Forethought for $18 million in cash, with action absolutely guaranteed within the week (never happened)

- an immensely complex offer from Xerox (after hours of negotiations) for exclusive sales rights to PowerPoint, for which they would pay something above $18 million

So, that’s “no offer”, an offer to merge at some later time with another company, a non existent option to sell the entire company for about what Microsoft offered for PowerPoint alone, and one offer to sell the sales rights.

It seems Xerox was the only real alternative. Reading between the lines, that would have cost quite a bit more in legal fees than Microsoft’s offer, and would mean Forethought would have to keep paying for development of the product (in exchange for a part of the revenues)

I can see why they went for the simpler option.
I get the sense that the author is referring to the combined product/engineering unit, as I usually see PMs fulfilling much of this type of filtering/pushback role. But I had a similar reaction – high quality PMs actually view it as their job to stand in the way of a lot of these requests because preserving engineering (and often design) focus is one of their top priorities.
That does not change the issue: EU microsoft has a local unfair advantage in EU because it has access to the whole database of linkedin (which they own).

Additionaly, denying remote access is almost impossible to enforce. It would require a efficient and permanent deep monitoring of their servers.

That's more or less true for only US. I follow the main 3DS sub on reddit and for whatever reason the second hand market of 3DS prices are insane there. Whereas in Europe you can still buy a New Nintendo 3DSXL for very reasonable prices. On eBay and Facebook Market Place the lowest ones are running for 120-130€ and you won't see similar prices in the US.

But that's not just Nintendo only, I play MTG and cards are always cheaper in Europe than in the US. Just like with Nintendo less people who are "investing" into games

(the most prevailing theory on reddit is the Covid stimulus checks + "free" loans given out to small businesses. Basically lot of people got enough cash that they choose to invest into games)
I definitely can see that hiring a "random babysitter" would be uncomfortable and a terrible thing to do for your child.

Here are some ways to find a trusted sitter:
Ask for referrals from your local parent group
Ask for referrals from professors at your local college/university
Actors can be wonderful babysitters. They are somewhat overqualified and need
Hire from your local afterschool program
Hire one of your daycare teachers
Search care.com and sittercity for works like Montessori and Waldorf. You can find trained sitters there.
Consider a service like Safesitter that certifies babysitters

In order to establish trust with your child, pay them to have a playdate with you and your child present so you can get to know them.

This has generally been the case with Nintendo relative to Sony/Microsoft. Nintendo console are typically cheaper and geared towards a more general audience. But it may not end up that way, the switch has been out for longer than the PS5/Xbox Series X so that accounts for a decent amount of the higher cumulative sales.

You just need to them explain how sweat works. Sweat evaporate -> cool skin -> cools internal temp. Humidity high -> sweat no evaporate -> internal temp increases.
It also helps that MS supports downloading while you play the cloud version (albeit at a limited speed). Once you end the cloud session, the locally-downloaded game can pull your save, and you can continue from where you left off in a relatively seamless way.
It is an _example_.

OTOH do not forget that Arch is a family of distros now, not a single distro, just as Debian is.

In fact I suspect that it is the 2nd biggest family of distros, after Debian.

Debian encompasses many dozens: Ubuntu, plus dozens of Ubuntu derivatives including Mint, Elementary, PopOS, ZorinOS, Linux Lite etc.; LMDE; Devuan; MX Linux; SpiralLinux; etc. etc.

Arch now encompasses at least Manjaro, EndeavourOS, Garuda and more.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch-based_distributions

But that is not the point.

The point is that _tens of millions_ are running non-Debian-derived distros, mostly ChromeOS and CloudReady/ChromeOS Flex.

Offering a .deb package is _not_ a useful approach to offering a generic Linux package, no.

And the middle ground, the barn cat.

The barn cat knows humans, but is also not let inside the house. It is also rarely fed, unless sick, but has the comfort of the barn.

Such cats are often highly efficient, and eat all their prey for food.

This is what cats are primarily for! To keep mice populations down in barns, feedlots, groceries, etc.

I don't think IntelliJ has added support for running non-compiling Java code yet, which was a major productivity booster for me.

Eclipse's ability to debug and run a single failing unit test were massive as well. IntelliJ was always hit or miss as to whether it would allow you to run a subset.

IntelliJ refactorings also were a lot less smart IMO - often trying to refactor unrelated comments and sometimes code that was unrelated but happened to be named the same thing.

Hello HN. I've been working remotely since the early 2000s and managing teams since 2011 or so, mostly remotely (whenever I can). During the pandemic I helped the non-remote parts of my company become remote and then I jumped online to help anyone that I could with the transition (this wasn't a service, I did it for free, it was important to me and the world was hurting).

Out of those conversations I ended up with the table of contents of what then became this book. The writing part of the book is done, most of the proof reading has been finished, and I just sent it to be formatted for print and ebook.

I also bought a bunch of ISBNs and registered my consulting company as a publisher to _self-publish_. I don't know why, but I'm finding the process very interesting. I love learning about how other parts of the world work.
I get ~15% of my salary in vested stock as a bonus (on top of my cash bonus) and it's actually gone up almost 50% in value since Feb.

My 401k has lost 25% of its value this year though, so it's hard to feel happy about the gain from my bonus.
The only "improvement" to HTTP I'm aware of is HTTP/2, which is just plain retarded.
HTTP/3 is the same thing but implemented correctly, and is barely used at all.

Both are overengineered systems designed to solve one thing only: establish multiple reliable transmissions streams between two endpoints while only doing the handshake once.

It does very little that's actually useful in practice.
Seriously, a single person making less than that can live comfortably nearly anywhere in the US if they keep expenses reasonable, especially if it's remote and they have no need for a car

I have found that the most effective programmers are diplomats, they consider consequences and don’t dive into making unconsidered fixes. They understand that the code they write is not only for themselves and that nothing, especially not people, works in isolation. My preference is for clarity and comprehension over breakneck, manic late-night cola-fueled, pizza-box programming sessions. This isn’t The Matrix…

FTA: “The majority of archaeologists are against the warfare theory,” says Peter Turchin, an evolutionary anthropologist at the University of Connecticut, Storrs, and the new study’s lead author. “Nobody likes this ugly idea because obviously warfare is a horrible thing, and we don’t like to think it can have any positive effects.”

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?

Ruby remains in relatively high demand, despite a decade of once a month blog posts claiming "Ruby is dead"
The human body needs to maintain core body temperature at 37°C. Whenever we extract energy from our food to do stuff, some of that energy gets dumped into heat. If we assume (just for round numbers) that we eat 2000 Calories/day, and that 10% of that energy is heat, then that's 200 Calories/day of heat that needs to be dumped into our environment. Abusing units somewhat, if a human being is 100 kg of mostly water, that's 2°C/day of heat. If we didn't dump that heat, in a day, core body temperature rises to 39°C and we get heatstroke.

Heat naturally flows from hot to cold at a rate proportional to the difference in temperature. If we're fully passively cooled at an environmental temperature 25°C at a rate of 2°C/day, then at 1°C, we'd be passively cooled at 6°C/day. However, we can also modulate heat flow by introducing some thermally nonconductive layers--or, in layman's terms, put on a sweater. When it's cold, all you have to do is slow down the rate of heat flow.

But hotter temps are more difficult. We can't take off thermal insulators or modulate the main thermal barrier between core body temperature and the outside world (i.e., skin). At 31°C, passive cooling is down to 1°C/day, and we need to turn to active cooling. Sweating is the main mechanism for humans: it takes heat for liquid water to become water vapor, and this heat is drawn from your skin surface, cooling it (this kind of allows heat to move from a colder to a hotter environment, unlike passive cooling). At 37°C, there's no longer any passive cooling, and active cooling needs to handle 2°C/day.

But hotter than that, and things get worse: the environment is now passively warming you up. By 43°C, that's now 3°C/day of heat that needs to shed, and 49°C ups it to 4°C/day. At some point, you're going to overwhelm the ability of active cooling to cool you down, and the passive heating is still going to warm you up even if you shut down metabolism. Even worse is if sweating isn't effective at cooling down--at high humidities, the sweat won't evaporate and the cooling effect won't happen. (This also illustrates why heat-and-humidity can be deadly even at below-body-temperature environments.)

This analysis was purely done for humans, but it's pretty similar for most organisms, just with different set points for core body temperature and active cooling mechanisms. Fundamentally, extreme cold is "easy" to handle--just slow down heat loss; extreme heat requires developing ways of pumping heat from a hot reservoir to a cold reservoir, which thermodynamics does not look kindly on.
