> Have you actually read SCOTUS trial transcripts? Because they come across as incredibly sharp people to me even when I don't agree with their views.

Yes. Get nine professionals together to write a subject matter document over a year. I don't care who they are, that document will appear at least superficially put together. I have lots of thoughts/criticism. This isn't the conversation for that, so here's just one of those criticisms:

> Attempts to justify abortion through appeals to a broader right to autonomy and to define one’s “concept of existence” prove too much. Casey, 505 U. S., at 851. Those criteria, at a high level of generality, could license fundamental rights to illicit drug use, prostitution, and the like.

Oh no, drug use and prostitution could be licensed too? Obviously those are terrible and morally repugnant. Backtracking is clearly necessary. What? Why? This isn't the 1970s and the nation isn't 100% on board with Reagan and the war on drugs anymore. A majority of Americans support decriminalizing sex work for example. This point IS contentious, but it's treated as though it's self justifying. It so obviously comes from minds trapped in a bygone era where traditionalist values went unquestioned, where appeals to them were enough.

> Actually there are psychology studies examining professionals who have to deal with bias (scientists, judges, etc) that indicate that the competent ones tend to slightly over rather than under compensate.

I'd love to see these studies. I don't know what over/under compensate means in this context or how that says anything about cognitive decline.

> How is that different than legislating from the bench? Isn't updating laws a job best reserved for the legislature?

The pace of technological progress is increasing. It has surpassed our legislative ability even under the best of circumstances. We aren't in the best of circumstances. Our legislature hasn't effectively represented popular interests for years now [1].

while i agree that open contribution software is a genuine good for this world for the reasons you enumerate, it is a _subset_ of open source software. OSS by itself does not imply that the author wishes to manage a community around the code they are freely giving. this common conflation causes authors to abandon or suppress ever releasing their source openly.
In light of recent events, the only conclusion I can arrive at is that originalism as a legal theory was a decades-long project created with the express purpose of overturning the Warren-era jurisprudence. Roe is the first salvo, but there are many more regressions coming.

It was not created as a good-faith "alternate interpretation." It is not a cohesive or logical theory. It is, instead, a weapon, whose targets should be clear to everyone now. The way the weapon works is that you assume that it is being made in good faith and engage with it on its own terms. And then, again and again, get owned. Because the other guy is just making stuff up, and you, the sucker, are actually arguing.

I'm not quite in conspiracy territory yet, but I really would like to know what they are saying out loud behind closed doors at the Federalist Society HQ.
Learning Equilibria in Mean-Field Games
My doctor conveyed my situation in his request for the imaging and was denied. I'm basically going to my PT appointments and doing nothing because the treatment is painful, which is wasting their time and resources. It's cheaper to just commit this waste than to talk to a lawyer because the insurance company represents its shareholders, not its clients.

I'm not saying that healthcare is perfect outside of the US, but a common argument for the US system is this idea of "choice", which is ultimately just a set of dark patterns that create the illusion of choice.
Shelter, food, and medicine. Worst case you could replace "shelter" with "construction"
For high earners it's still higher in EU, about 50% vs 40% but yeah it's not that significant.
The most interesting observation I made was color. Everything worn was gray or darkest blue at the flashiest. I was surprised to see no analysis of color. It would be interesting to quantify if the author's "bottom half" was generally 5% darker than the author's "top half" or maybe the opposite or maybe it averages out exactly the same.

I live in a 4-season state and I would be pretty interested to see if I, or people in general in my area, vary their average clothing color by the season. I would theorize the people get tanned in the summer, intentionally or not, varying by race quite a bit of course, and that skin tone change would influence average clothing color selections. Another theory is I notice I wear slightly warmer-brighter clothes in the winter, in an opposition to winter's dreariness, I almost feel compelled to wear a bright Hawaiian shirt if its snowing. A third theory is people would wear lighter colors around the peak of summer to limit solar heating. A fourth theory I have is summer heat seems most comfy in clothing that's tighter or looser than average for cooling reasons and middle of the road size would the minimum of comfort in the heat, whereas in the winter middle of the road tightness would seem the best balance of warmth and comfort. These theories could all be wrong, or right, of course.

A completely different side issue is over the years I accumulate more self-created uniforms and I wonder if that would show up in the data. I have a uniform of grungy old clothes resembling the color of used motor oil for changing oil or similar greasy repair jobs. I have exactly one set of grungy clothes I wear when I paint that are all stained up so I don't care if I stain them worse. I have exactly one set of clothes for lawnmowing/yardwork, the specific type of synthetic seems to clean up well from tree sap and the shoes are a grass-stained lost cause. I have a set of clothes specifically for shoveling/snowblowing that "tech" stuff that dries quickly because sweating and cold equals hypothermia, or at least extreme discomfort. Most people already have that set of clothes they wear to the gym or other exercise, of course.
130w is definitely low. My Xeon workstation is closer to 250w.
Do you know about any functional-style logging libraries?
Or just plain old procedural ones?
Yeah it’s not ideal. It’s nice not to have to run any kind of agent, and to use IAM for access control (not that IAM is so wonderful, but it plugs in easily). I agree though it could be much smoother.
> Haswell Xeon is way too outdated in 2022

It's outdated if you need a high-performance workstation. As a regular desktop PC, it runs just fine. Would work quite well as a NAS CPU, with ECC support and downclocked to some lower P-state.

However, I don't think these were ever available for $50 as author suggests. It all really depends on the price point. At $50, I would buy 1 right now, just to have as a backup/guest PC in the living room.
Is there a textual summary somewhere?
We can totally expect another 40-50% raise in October.
Even if (which it almost certainly isn't) what you claim is true, the point of paying taxes is not just about what you immediately, materially gain but (a) to support people on lower incomes and (b) to fund things like R&D projects (e.g. the www is a result of state-funded CERN) and infrastructure which would be too expensive to build personally (e.g. roads, railway tracks to ship goods to ones house), etc
Extracting the criteria about how to write good documentation out of this article is ... wait, this article about good documentation is itself bad documentation. Is that real irony?

Listicles are pilloried, but for things like this they are good practice.

I'm really disappointed in most documentation recommendations. I'll have to check out DO's docs. It would be nice to have a comparison criteria to help show what different techniques and structures work well.

Unaddressed is one of the greatest long-term issues, I have to deal with it all the time in cassandra and other fast-evolving platforms: versioning documentation for the specific platform, and SEO'ing it so newer documentation subsumes older docs in the search indices.
No doubt the modern web is faster even on moderate xDSL connections. I remember web pages taking half a minute to load, even relatively basic ones. The 56k v90 was quite a bit quicker than 14.4k too. Its not even close to similar I remember watching JPG images gradually progress through their low quality versions upwards. Pages were a lot lighter back then but still much much slower than today.
Without taxes the per country salaries are only meaningful to employers? The 55000 would be 4580 per month or 38400 and 3200 after tax in NL.

Depending on the company you can easily spend 8 hours on extra nonsense during free hours: unpaid breaks, long commutes, messages, phone calls.

IMHO it's a crap deal compared to other jobs.
Wow we should all use only Google because they are the only good and trustworthy email provider. Why do we even need email at all? There should just be a simplified protocol or webapp that stores everything on Google and manages all your authentication tokens for every website you use.

That's not really her point, she says "even professional electrician" and so on, she adopt a very of moral approach and I am not very fond of moral.

It's a substantial risk of death only if you doing it wrong. I mean, the problem here is not playing with a microwave transformer, it's doing it inside, it's holding both electrodes in both hands, it's the lack of isolation, it's having a device you can switch on by accident and so on.

A lot of people here seems to consider it's moral imperative to not do that, this wont make people smarter, nor more reasonable.
I still have my lead acid batter in my UPS from... 2016? I'm not even sure when I got it.

With lithium I need to know when I got it, did it run in non-ideal lithium conditions (-20^C? No go. +34^C? No go), and the most importantly - in three years I need to replace a Li battery, but with a lead battery and a non-online UPS I can have from 3 to 10 years of lifetime from it.

Sure we can conceive of it, and have since we have been able to took up and wonder, but the question is really more about the assumption that why do we humans always seem to assume that alien life is more advanced than us? It’s sort of my answer to the Fermi paradox. We haven’t detected alien civilizations because they may not exist…yet.

UFO nuts at least rely on a faith that they exist and they have made it here and are slicing up cow genitals and sticking various probes up our backsides. If they can do that, sure, they are more advanced. However, why are the pragmatic Drake equation applying scientists out there always seems to be this under this assumption that extraterrestrials are more advanced?

If there is no evidence they are here or even exist. There is certainly no evidence that they are more advanced than us. Until we see evidence to the contrary, we rule the roost.

How much does imaging cost without insurance?
I sort of do the opposite; my main Windows dev box is a dual-socket HP Z820 ESXi host with multiple GPUs, a large SAS SSD RAID 10 array, and an additional SSD and pair of large SATA hard drives for ESXi scratch/swap and local backups, respectively.

While I don't actually use it for gaming, the main Windows dev VM, with 18 cores, 32GB RAM, a Quadro P1000 (read: underclocked GTX 1050 with a few extra driver features; ideal for my purposes, would use something beefier for a gaming box), and a physical USB 3.0 controller, runs games as well as any similarly-equipped hardware box, with the caveat that, if you play online multiplayer games (I don't), some anti-cheat software apparently detects and refuses to run under virtualization.

Alongside this "always-on" main VM, I regularly run multiple Linux (both with and without AMD GPU), Windows, and FreeBSD VMs.

This configuration works great for me, but it probably helps that my home office infrastructure includes a vCenter Server and mostly runs on two additional ESXi hosts, and that, on a semi-regular basis, I have applications that require connecting old Fibre Channel and even parallel SCSI hardware, so the workstation's extra PCIe slots and "tool-free" case design come in handy.

While I wouldn't buy a Z820 today, I'm in no hurry to replace this one; ideally, I'll swap in a similarly-configured Z8 in 2–3 years.
This might not be the best written or best sourced article, but I would start here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computable_analysis

Most operations for defining real numbers are computable. The reason for this is that, in practice, continuous functions and functionals are the same thing as computable functions and functionals. Continuous functions which aren't computable are generally pathological curiosities. One consequence of this heuristic is that since the Riemann integral is a continuous functional, one might guess that it is also computable. Indeed it is (but the proof isn't obvious). This then implies the computability of the constant pi because pi is equal to the integral

1
⌠
⎮ ________
⎮ ╱ 2
⎮ 2⋅╲╱ 1 - x dx
⌡
-1

The computability of integration implies the computability of root-finding because one can use the argument principle to do it.
The corollary is that you live like a king in a country where people could be billionaires or they could be poor, desperate, with untreated mental health issues, nothing to lose, and a loaded gun.

Is bone deep knowledge required to know if fluctuation cause wear due to physical stress of heat/cooling cycles or something else? It seems like something that countless hardware designers would need to know.

Certainly there are many more nuances to wear patterns than that, but that was kind of the basic question I was asking. But as I said originally I was asking from a position of interested though ignorant curiousity, so my assumption that most hardware designers would need to understand this sort is stress might be... discontinuous with the factual nature of the physical & human experiential phenomena relevant to the question. (e.g., stupid assumptions) :)
I would rather a private company build it, or in a public / private partnership, so we at least have some semblance of breaking-even if not a small profit.

Our current train systems are so woefully wasteful, inefficient, prone to breaking down, and so on that simply giving the same corruption more money would be extremely unwise.

> Clothing is not only functional, it can also help your appearance. Looking good does wonders for your mood. Sex appeal and all that.

I would bet good money this was written by a straight man, but have you ever considered there's also butch lesbians working in blue collar jobs that have wardrobes which are primarily composed of functional, rugged clothing, often in dark colors that don't meet your requirement of getting dates and having sex appeal?

not just one segment of society (straight cis male HN reading six figure job guys who don't put effort into dressing themselves) wears something other than what your societal expecations think they should to not be "shitty" and "cheap".

Yeah, and for most working professionals you get sweet FA.

Like here in Sweden we pay 40% income tax, 25% sales tax and still have to pay about $30 for each doctor visit. Dentistry is not included in the state health coverage. Neither are annual checkups of any kind, so diagnosis can be difficult and slow, etc.

In Sweden, those taxes are just going to those who are lucky enough to have first-hand subsidised apartment contracts, or have loads of children and live off the barnbidrag. Especially asylum seekers (failed or accepted) that get both of those for free, and never have to work or integrate with society.

The only major benefit over the US is the semi-decent trade unions which mean full-time work is quite stable and with good vacation allowance.
In the long run, "in the end", arguments are all that matters.

Sure, not many mature people are convinced. But people growing up and developing their positions are influenced. And even those of us who are not fully convinced tend to build some nuance into our positions to cope with the stronger arguments.

My fridge uses practically no energy for 23.5 hours a day, and for those 30 minutes it's active, it's a heat pump which tends to be incredibly efficient. Many parts of the world (huge parts of Europe for example) don't need or have AC, and for 9 months of the year I don't need heating in my home - despite living in a 130 year old stone building in Scotland.

Short of the 3kw electric kettle I have, my workstation is the single most energy intense appliance in my house, and it's used for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, 47 weeks a year.
